B
Good
morning,
everyone
we
will
call
the
October
31st
2022
work
session
to
order
we're
going
to
start
with
the
presentation,
but
I
want
to
first
of
all
offer
congratulations
on
behalf
of
the
council
to
Billy
Kilpatrick,
who
has
taken
over
as
our
new
HR
director
and
gone
from
interim
to
permanent
and
also
deputy
chief
Wallach
happy
birthday.
Sir.
B
We
won't
sing
Halloween
because
we
wanted
people
to
stay
on
and
not
be
repelled.
So
we'll
start
out
with
a
presentation
if
I
could
have
a
deputy
chief
Graham
come
forward
for
an
after
Action
Report
on
hurricane.
C
Good
morning,
I
apologize
evidently
I
can
run
emergency,
but
I
can't
shave
this
morning.
So
if
I
start
bleeding,
you
know
a
few
weeks
ago.
Obviously,
when
we
were
dealing
with
hurricane
Ian,
the
city
went
through
immense
measures
to
to
get
ourselves
ready.
C
We
went
from
removing
all
sorts
of
items
that
could
be
projectiles
throughout
the
city
we
shuttered
buildings,
we
worked
in
shelters,
we
ran,
shelters,
worked
with
accounting
to
push
out
messaging
and
we
actually
even
did
evacuations
we
shut
down
buildings,
we
staged
resources,
we
put
everything
in
place
and
as
a
city
I
think
we
were
as
ready
as
we
humanly
could
possibly
be.
However,
as
we
all
know,
nobody's
fully
ready
for
that
type
of
Destruction
and
Life.
As
we
know
it,
our
city
would
have
been
totally
changed.
C
We
did
send
resources
because
we
were
ready
and
we
were
fortunate
enough
time
to
get
hit.
However,
our
Fortune
was
somebody
else's
Misfortune
and
they
did
get
hit.
So
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
send
resources
down
there
last
week
or
two
weeks
ago.
C
Rather,
we
did
after
action,
Ian
briefing
with
our
whole
EMCC,
where
our
deployed
teams
actually
came
back
with
some
lessons
learned
what
they
saw
and
and
what
they
experienced
down
there
and
Mr
Jennings
felt
it
was
very
important
for
them
to
be
able
to
come
up
and
give
a
brief
presentation
on
what
that
was
and
what
they
saw
and
how
we're
going
to
bring
it
back
to
our.
C
So
with
that,
I'd
like
to
first
introduce
our
fire
prevention,
inspector,
Walter,
Ramos
and
Nicholas
Esposito,
and
we
have
along
with
fire,
we
have
Parks
and
Rec
and
also
PD
PD.
Those
three
units
are
going
to
give
little
presentations,
but
we
also
did
have
Clearwater
gas
and
Public
Utilities
who
gave
resources
down
there
as
well.
D
E
D
Mayor
council
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
come
up
here
and
tell
you
what
we
did
down
south
for
the
hurricane.
D
This
whole
thing
came
about
by
the
FEMA
contacting
ffmia,
which
is
the
fire
Florida
Fire
Marshals
and
inspectors
Association,
and
this
was
before
the
storm
even
hit.
They
wanted
to
create
a
task
force
of
fire
inspectors
to
go
down
and
assess
fire
stations
along
the
path
of
hurricane.
D
So
and
that's
basically,
if
you
did
so
so,
the
mission
statement
was
to
assess
fire
stations
along
the
path
to
Hurricane,
Union
and
starting
on
the
west
coast
and
then
following
it
east
and
up
south
or
north
I'm,
sorry,
so
I'm
Nick,
I'm,
Nick
Esposito.
This
is
Walter
Ramos.
He
is
also
our
K-9
and
seller
Handler
or
fire
investigations.
D
Okay,
so
our
mission
statement
was
to
check
for
damage
assessment
of
the
overall
structures
of
fire
stations
and
EMS
EMS
stations
check
their
operational
status
to
make
sure
that
they
were
still
able
to
operate.
You
know
a
good
Department
contact,
because
this
was
if
their
stations
were
damaged.
This
is
who
FEMA
would
contact
in
order
to
get
their
stations
back
into
operational
again
and
any
any
equipment
they
might
need
in
order
to
operate.
D
This
was
all
done
by
a
photo
and
documentation.
D
This
was
all
done
on
a
on
a
an
app
that
FEMA
put
out,
and
it
was
all
done
first,
first
like
real
time,
so,
every
time
we
put
a
picture
in
for
our
station
or
get
any
kind
of
damage
assessment,
it
went
right
into
this
app
and
went
right
to
FEMA,
so
they
were
able
to
to
load
this
up
on
the
dashboard
and
see
where
things
see
how
the
where
the
located,
where
the
damages
were
located
centrally
and
also
for
the
address
and
location
of
these
stations
we
got
down
there.
D
We
were
getting
a
list
of
stations
in
areas,
some
stations
were
said.
Were
there
some
weren't,
and
so
this
we
all
we
just
updated
all
all
the
addresses.
D
Okay,
so
implementation
of
the
mission
was
two
two-person
teams
that
were
assigned
to
a
general
area
of
the
County.
We
followed
the
path
of
the
storm,
the
areas
we
hit,
Collier
Lee
Charlotte,
Sarasota,
Manatee,
Hillsborough
and
even
Falcons
Pinellas.
D
So
this
is,
this
is
one
of
the
station
assessments.
This
is
a
Google
picture
that
we
got
station
31
and
it's
right
on
Ernesto
Boulevard
in
Fort
Myers,
so
that
about
300
yards
I,
guess
from
the
water
and
it's
located
in
mostly
a
residential
area.
D
D
D
That's
a
question.
There
was
nobody
at
these
stations
when
we
got
there
and
that's
the
question.
We
have
nobody
there
to
answer
it.
It's
beyond
me,
Riley
would
put
a
station
I
mean
why
they
believe
equipment
there,
especially
the
truck.
So
we
all
saw
firsthand
earlier
in
Naples
what
had
happened
when
all
the
water
came
out
there,
what
they
did
to
their
their
equipment.
D
I
have
no
idea
why
they
would
have
left
these
vehicles
sitting
in
there,
like
that,
and,
incidentally,
of
this
two
about
two
miles
down
the
road
I
believe
it's
station,
32.,
fully
operational,
no
damage
whatsoever
and
you're
talking
two
miles
away
from
the
from
this
area.
Right
here
and
they're,
fully
operational,
no
damage
whatsoever
where.
C
During
our
evacuation,
as
part
of
our
protocol
to
move
our
units
off
the
beach,
so
once
it
gets
to
a
point
where
it's
too
dangerous,
either
winds
or
what
have
you?
We
immediately
pull
them
off.
So
44
and
46.
We
pulled
to
mainlands
and
set
in
stations
that
are
out
of
the
flood
zones
and
stable
and
the
crews
are
located
between
the
stations
and
they
have
the
capacity
to.
D
Put
them
indoors,
yes,
okay,
and
that
may
have
been
the
case
down
there
too
I
mean
there
was
a
lot
going
on
there.
You
had
24
hours
ahead
of
time;
maybe
they
maybe
they
just
had
the
Personnel
to
move
them
at
this
time.
We
really
don't
know.
D
This
is
a
video
right
outside
the
bay
where
we
saw.
D
D
What
was
accomplished
on
this
deployment
when
the
first
deployment
there
was
going
to
be
several
after
that,
but
what
we
did
was
we
did
over
215
fire
and
EMS
stations.
We
assessed
them
the
further.
We
moved
in,
of
course,
the
less
damage
there
was
only
probably
five
to
ten
percent
of
the
stations
were
very
damaged
throughout
all
these
counties.
D
D
The
lessons
we
learned
obviously
needed.
We
need
a
database
of
all
the
fire
and
EMS
stations.
With
that
information.
It
can
streamline
the
whole
process,
get
it
done
a
lot
quicker.
It
was
a
little
bit
confusing
in
the
beginning.
D
At
the
time.
I
did
this.
We
did
this
PowerPoint
120
people
in
Florida
lost
their
lives
56
in
Lee
24
in
Charlotte
counties
where
Ian
made
landfall.
They
had
a
24-hour
learning
to
evacuate,
but
we
need
to
follow
as
well
as
the
where
the
storm
is
going.
We
need
to
follow
where
the
cone
is
going.
Also
the
wind
damage
from
all
that
people.
D
These
a
lot
of
these
lives
could
have
been
prevented
from
these
people
heeding
the
warning
that
we
tell
them
to
get
off,
evacuate
and
leave,
and
they
have
to
understand
the
consequence
to
not
evacuating,
because
you
can
see
by
that
little
video,
Clearwater,
Beach,
Dunedin
Largo.
F
Albright
yeah
I
have
a
just
a
comment.
You
know
several
years
ago
the
sheriff's
department
initiated
a
a
evacuation
pass
for
the
out
Islands
in
Pinellas
County,
which
I
thought
was
a
great
idea
because
it
gets
people
when
they
vacuum.
We
were
evacuated
two
days
in
advance
as
a
voluntary.
Well,
let's
see
Monday
was
a
volunteer
and
then
Tuesday
came
in.
F
It
was
everybody
out
and
hotels,
everybody
off
the
beach
and
then,
if
you
wanted
to
get
back
on,
you
had
to
have
the
pass,
which
I
would
recommend
that
they
initiate
that
to
all
the
barrier
even
down
further
to
the
South,
because
that
worked
really
well
on
getting
people
in
and
out
safely
and
then
not
having
a
bunch
of
people
coming
in
that
weren't
supposed
to
be
there.
After
the
the
fact
you
know
so,.
D
That's
what
we
ran
into
trying
to
get
onto
the
beach
just
miles
long
of
cars,
people
and
the
police
were
checking
all
the
you
know,
identification
making
sure
that
they
actually
did
live
there
so
yeah.
That
would
be.
That
would
be
a
perfect
thing
to
do
that
way.
You
could
just
show
your
card,
they
know
you're
there
and
then
you
can
get
you
can
get
on
yeah,
something
to
think
about
for
the
future.
So.
C
G
Pointing
city
council,
mayor
City,
attorney,
city
manager,
I'm
Sergeant,
Ryan
McMullen,
with
the
Clearwater
Police
Department,
and
we
are
deployed
down
to
Fort
Myers
as
well,
along
with
FD
I,
just
want
to
do
a
quick
presentation.
This
presentation
has
been
condensed
down
just
for
for
you
guys
this
time,
so
on
October,
8th
2022,
a
Saturday
we
deployed
down
to
Fort
Myers.
We
returned
this
past
this
last
Saturday
October
29th,
and
we
were
down
there
for
a
total
of
three
weeks.
G
One
of
our
biggest
thing
when
we
were
getting
ready,
is
we
the
unknowns
of
where
we
were
going
to
be
staying?
What
our
mission
was,
so
we
had
to
be
prepared
for
anything,
we'd
be
packed
to
be
self-sufficient,
and
we
had
really
no
idea
what
our
expectations
down
there
were
bringing
the
proper
tools
to
for
the
mission
for
any
mission
that
was
given
to
us
by
FDLE
by
Lee
County
or
by
FEMA.
G
One
of
the
biggest
things
was
being
self-sufficient
when,
when
going
down
there
to
assist,
we
didn't
know
the
availability
of
the
essential
needs,
such
as
gas,
water,
food,
electricity
and
also,
like
I,
said
we
didn't
know
where
our
base
camp
was
going
to
be
and
what
kind
of
state
it
was
in.
G
Our
base
camp
was
at
the
Lee
County
Civic
Center,
which
was
about
without
traffic
45
minutes
from
Fort
Myers
Beach.
This
this
base
camp
was
controlled
by
deployed
resources
which
had
it
was
equipped
with
portable
showers,
Portable,
Restrooms
self
self-service
laundry
facilities
and
also
a
food
Hall.
It
was
pretty
amazing
how
they
they
had
it
set
up.
It
was
almost
like
a
little
Tent
City.
We
were
just
a
few
law
enforcement
agencies
there.
There
was
also
Red
Cross
and
a
bunch
of
different
relief
workers
there.
G
So
it
was
a
mix
of
civilians
and
and
sworn
personnel.
Our
mission
was
to
assist
the
Lee
County
Sheriff's
Office,
with
Beach
re-entry.
The
primary
focus
was
to
implement
a
traffic
plan
getting
back
into
the
beach
for
Relief
workers
for
residents,
utility
companies
and
all
other
essential
individuals.
G
We
are
assigned
a
12-hour
shift
from
five
in
the
morning
to
five
at
night,
seven
days
a
week
this
as
the
pictures
show.
This
is
the
Beach
entry
point
to
Fort
Myers
Beach
I,
it
you
could
think
of
Pier
60
and
the
roundabout,
that's
exactly
where
we
were
so
it
being
down
there.
It
really
felt
more
at
home
or
it
hit
harder
because
it
felt
like
it
was
Clearwater
Beach
down
there.
G
Our
part,
like
I,
said
our
primary
focus
was
was
traffic.
It
was
hot
long
days,
12
hour
days,
staying
in
the
sun,
so
some
some
immediate
concerns
were
hydration
nourishment
you
know
just
sun
protection
along
those
lines.
I'm
just
going
to
go
through
a
couple
of
the
photos
of
the
devastation.
I
will
I
will
add
these
pictures,
don't
give
it
justice
being
down
there
with
the
smell
with
the
you
know.
Just
being
in
that
environment,
it's
these
pictures,
it
doesn't
really
seem
like
much
just
a
few
photos.
G
You
can
see
that
7-Eleven
on
the
bottom
right,
depending
where
you're
at
completely
just
wiped
through
it's
just
concrete
pilings,
there's
nothing
inside.
That
was
that's
the
beach,
that's
just
north
of
their
Pier
60.
If
you
will,
this
photo
was
taken
I
when
I
received
this
photo,
I
actually
thought
it
was
photoshopped
besides
a
little
color
enhancement,
but
this
was
an
actual
photo
with
with
the
helicopter
in
the
background
and
fire
Personnel
walking
out
there.
But
this
is
all
the
debris.
G
That's
was
piled
up
just
a
few,
a
very
small
amount
of
the
boats
that
were
just
strewn
throughout
the
property
that
boat
with
the
Cracker
Jack
boat.
On
top
of
the
Tahoe,
there
was
actually
a
news
crew
inside
that
Tahoe
that
Lee
County
had
to
go
out
and
rescue.
G
They
were
getting
footage
of
the
storm
surge
coming
in
and
they
had
to
run
out
there
and
and
rescue
them
at
that
location
or
that
the
location
over
there
they
had
16
feet
of
storm
surge,
come
in
so
one
of
the
issues
we
saw
these
signs
all
over
the
place,
stop
or
be
shot
loot.
We
will
shoot.
There
was
a
immense
amount
of
looting
down
there,
which
is
obviously
a
concern
for
public
safety.
G
For
you
know,
law
enforcement
for
Citizens
for
everything,
a
lot
of
the
bridges
and
stuff
Pine
Island
actually
didn't
have
a
bridge.
As
everybody
knows,
a
lot
of
looters
were
coming
in
on
boat
in
the
middle
of
the
night
and
just
looting
these
people
that
couldn't
get
to
their
home
and
stealing
everything
that
they
had
again.
Just
a
couple
photos
I
mean
these
were
buildings
here
at
one
point
and
just
completely
demolished
again.
This
is
kind
of
their
Pier
60
area,
I've
called
it
their
Pier
60.
G
just
I,
don't
know
that
it's
actually
called
Times
Square.
This
was
obviously
the
beach
before
and
you
can
see
it
just
will
be
one
moment
and
then
after
the
storm.
Oh,
my
God,
so
just
total
total
devastation,
a
few
takeaways
being
there
just
communication
with
responding
agencies.
G
Obviously,
if
a
storm
like
this
happens
with
us,
we're
going
to
have
assets
from
all
around
the
state
coming
down
to
assist,
it
was
important
and
they
stressed
it
to
us
which
I
thought
was
important
is
is
had
be
patient
with
the
citizens
there
there
was
people
that
were
waiting
four
hours
to
get
to
their
to
their
home
on
the
beach
to
check
the
damage
they're
waiting
four
hours
in
traffic
to
get
there
to
come.
Do
their
houses
completely
gone,
so
the
importance
of
just
being
patient
with
them?
G
And
you
know,
don't
don't
get
frustrated
or
you
know
if
they
do
something.
Silly,
hey
guys.
I
know
everybody's
be
good
with
them
the
agency
in
charge.
It
was
have
a
contact
list
with
all
supervisors
that
were
that
are
out
there.
So
we
can
have
communication
between
between
everybody,
also
Daily
Briefing
sheets,
one
one
thing
that
we
we
you
know
where
pod
locations
were
where
FEMA
locations
were,
where
the
lowest
the
closest
hospital
were.
G
G
You
know,
Supply
the
responding
agencies
and
your
own
Manpower,
the
proper
hydration,
the
proper
nutrition
just
to
make
it.
Throughout
the
day
we
had
you
know,
12-hour
shifts.
There
was
no
relief
to
for
a
break.
You
can
go
on
lunch
break.
It
was
you
know
you,
you
stand
in
the
shade
for
a
minute
and
get
some
water
and
get
some
food,
so
the
communication
with
citizens,
again
like
I,
said,
show
compassion
with
them.
G
The
citizens
were
in
a
in
a
highly
emotional
state
of
mind.
Obviously,
I
mean
they've
lost,
absolutely
everything
you
know
and
then
again
the
assisting
agency
provide
with
reference
guides
so
that
questions
from
citizens
can
be
answered.
Beach
access
point
one
of
the
big
things
like
I
said:
people
were
waiting
four
hours
to
get
in
line
I.
G
Think
a
lot
of
that
was
from
lack
a
better
term
looky-loos
coming
out
and
wanting
to
look
at
the
damage
that
gave
an
extreme
amount
of
traffic
for
for
FPL,
for
the
line
Crews
for
the
for
the
trucks
coming
in,
to
pick
up
all
the
debris
and
for
Citizens
just
to
get
out
there
and
actually
assess
their
property.
G
You
know
Travelers
with
no
legitimate
and
purpose
create
heavy
traffic
congestion.
The
beach
reentry
program
that
we
have
here
at
Clearwater
I
think
is,
is
huge.
Seeing
what
we've
had
over
there,
where
we're
stopping
every
car
and
asking
it?
Where
do
you
live?
G
Let
me
see
you
know,
let
me
see
your
ID
if
you
just
have
a
little
hang
tag
that
has
it
and
you
can
just
wave
them
on
through
that
it
will
help
out
a
lot
with
with
Beach
congestion
and
again
having
those
credentials
issued,
obviously
being
before
the
storm
is
important
but
having
it
off-site.
G
You
know
we're
trying
to
think
of
clear
water
mindset.
You
know
having
it
off-site
SPC
somewhere
there,
where
it
doesn't
create
a
traffic
congestion
getting
onto
the
beach
again.
So
you
know
that's
the
end
of
my
presentation
and
I
just
want
to
thank
thank
you
guys
and
thank
our
Command
Staff
for
giving
us
opportunity
to
go
down
there
and
and
help
out.
It
was
very
rewarding.
B
E
H
I
first
want
to
thank
all
you
for
giving
the
trust
and
support
into
Parks
and
Rec
to
send
one
of
our
rapid
response
teams
down
to
assist
Charlotte
County,
because
we
have
skills
and
abilities
that
that
are
needed
in
a
situation
like
this.
The
first
two
presentations
that
focused
on
the
storm
surge
issues,
whereas
mine
is
going
to
focus
on
the
Inland
portion
with
Wind
Tree
damage
structural
damage.
Things
like
that
that
affected
the
parks
for
Charlotte
County.
H
We
did
not
include
any
of
the
damaged
houses
or
any
of
those
things
we
just
focused
on
Parks,
because
it's
going
to
help
us
prepare
better
in
the
future.
We
already
have
a
great
plan,
but
there's
things
obviously
towards
the
end
that
I'll
update
everyone
that
we're
going
to
tweak
to
make
our
preparedness
that
much
better
so
first
thing
with
the
crew
that
went
was
amazing.
H
These
five
guys
that
I
got
to
lead
and
work
with.
Every
day
we
left
on
October
8th,
came
back
on
the
18th
and
their
skills
and
abilities.
H
You
know
I
can't
say
enough
about
them,
they're
all
great
guys
and
they're
they're
amazing
workers,
crazy,
amazing
employees
and-
and
they
were
just
a
pleasure
to
work
with-
to
give
you
an
idea
what
we
accomplished.
We
went
for
10
days.
There
was
six
of
us.
We
put
22
Parks
back
into
service,
we
removed
300
plus
hazardous
trees
that
were
in
some
sort
of
decline
or
I'm
sorry
decline.
Some
sort
of
failure
either
completely
on
the
ground.
In
the
process
of
failing
on
a
building
structure.
H
H
We
were
able
to
remove
portions
of
them,
make
it
a
playground
able
to
be
used
by
children,
and
then
we
moved
approximately
sixteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
thirty
three
cubic
yards
of
debris
because
it
was
scattered
throughout
the
whole
park
and
we
wanted
to
condense
it
in
places
that
allowed
the
parts
to
be
usable,
so
we'd
figure
out.
Okay,
we
can
shut
down
some
of
these
parking
spaces.
H
Where
we
stayed,
we
stayed
at
Centennial
Park,
which
was
essentially
a
large
soccer
field,
and
there
was
a
cert
Camp
built
and
the
pictures
you'll
see,
there's
semi-trailers
a
mess
hall.
Each
semi
trailer
had
bunks
three
high
on
each
side:
24
people
per
semi
and
they're
actually
Refrigeration
trailers.
So
they
were
pretty
cool
at
night,
so
you
didn't
have
to
worry
about
sweating,
but
that
that
was
basically
where
our
base
camp
was
and
it
was
really
great
accommodations.
H
These
are
some
of
the
pictures
from
the
Charlotte
County
Parks,
there's
very
similar
Park
system
to
ours.
They
have
39
total
Parks
they've
got
a
park
very
similar
to
moccasin
Lake.
You
know,
they've
got
playgrounds,
they've
got
Waterfront,
Parks
boat
ramps,
things
like
that,
so
it's
very
similar
to
our
Park
system.
H
One
of
the
biggest
things
for
me
is
safety.
I've
been
doing
storms
for
off
and
on
for
18
years
before
I
worked
at
the
city
and
since
being
at
the
city
and
if
you're
not
safe
and
you're,
not
trained.
Well,
that's.
When
injuries
happen,
we
had
no
injuries
in
our
entire
trip,
which
I
pride
myself
in
the
fact
that
we
train
our
employees
and
give
them
the
skills,
abilities
and
Equipment
they
need
to
be
successful.
H
We
removed
some
huge
trees,
it's
kind
of
hard
to
tell
the
tree
on
the
bottom.
If
you're
facing
it
left,
that's
a
48
inch
bar
chainsaw
that
we're
having
to
cut
that
tree
with,
and
that
was
actually
their
boat
ramp
that
had
failed
away
from
their
playground.
Fortunately,
rather
on
the
playground,
so
that
playground
was
simply
remove
the
tree
and
they
would
be
able
to
go
back
to
Safe
Play,
but
we
did
have
some
that
the
trees
fell
on
the
playgrounds.
H
We
trained
a
lot
of
hazardous
trees,
there's
a
lot
more
that
were
out
of
the
play
area
in
the
woods
and
places
that
they'll
have
to
come
back,
but
we
identified
them
so
they
can
have
their
private
contractors.
You'd
have
to
literally
climb
over
storm
debris
to
go
play
in
the
woods
to
have
an
issue
eventually
they'll
get
to
those,
but
those
were
not
what
we
were
sent
there
to
do.
We
were
sent
there
to
make
the
public
open
spaces
safe,
playground,
shade
structures.
We
have
a
procedure
here
in
Clearwater.
H
We
remove
all
of
them,
typically
three
or
four
days
before
the
storm
they
did
not
and
speaking
with
them,
they
said.
Well,
we
we
weren't,
we
weren't
supposed
to
get
this
storm,
so
we
didn't
take
them
now
and
we
probably
took
1.2
to
1.5
million
dollars
worth
of
shade
structures,
playground,
equipment
and
bleachers
and
turn
it
into
five
six
hundred
dollars
worth
of
scrap
metal
because
we
had
to
cut
them
up.
We
had
to
get
them
off
the
playgrounds
we
had
to
make
these
safe
because
they
were,
they
were
broken.
H
If
the
shade
cells
have
been
off,
the
structures
would
have
been
fine,
but
because
the
sales
were
on
it
allowed
it
to
whip
around
in
the
winter
and
it
just
broke
them,
and
there
was
dangling
pieces
of
metal
over
playgrounds
cables
hanging
down.
So
all
that
was
removed.
We
were
able
to
use
our
bucket
truck
and
cut
saws
and
make
them
safe,
but
it
was
a
shame.
H
The
amount
of
money
that
bottom
left
picture
those
were
bleachers
and
shade
structures
from
a
Little
League
field
that
it
had
just
been
ripped
and
that
five-tier
bleacher
one
set
had
actually
been
flipped
in
the
air
onto
home
plate
and
it
never
touched
the
10
foot
fence.
The
fence
was
still
intact,
but
the
wind
it
takes
to
flip
a
five-tier
bleacher
onto
a
baseball
field
to
home
plate
is
pretty
immense.
H
Another
thing
people
don't
think
about
when
you're,
storing
parks
in
public
spaces
is
the
Ada
surfacing
one
of
the
things
we
did.
We
took
backpack
blowers
we
found
out.
We
were
going
to
need
something
more
than
that.
So
actually,
when
we
got
resupplied,
they
brought
us
our
stand-on
hurricane
blower,
which
allowed
us
to
grow
that
blow
that
heavier
debris
off
the
trails
walkways
parking
lots
because
you
know
if
you
open
a
park,
but
you
don't
open
it
to
everybody.
That's
not
it's
not
what
we
wanted
to
do.
H
We
wanted
any
free
buddy
to
be
able
to
go
to
utilize
those
Sparks,
because
the
schools
were
close.
Those
kids
had
nowhere
to
go
so
every
time
we
opened
a
park,
we
had
a
lot
of
people
come
up
and
say.
Thank
you.
We
really
appreciate
that.
You
know
I
got
somewhere.
My
kids
can
go
play
safely
because
they
can't
play
in
The
Yards,
because
they're
full
of
debris
ball
up
waiting
for
the
debris
contractor
takeaways.
H
H
They
have
a
lot
heavier
concentration
of
palms
and
Pines,
where
we
have
huge
sprawling,
Live,
Oaks,
they're,
huge
sprawling,
Live
Oaks
didn't
do
well
either,
but
because
they
were
less
of
them,
they,
it
was
a
little
easier
for
them
to
get
their
roads
open,
whereas
here
we'd
have
a
tougher
time.
If
you
see
these
canopy
line
streets
picture
80
percent
of
those
trees
down
in
some
capacity,
that's
eight
out
of
every
10
trees.
So,
as
you
ride
just
one
way
to
kind
of
think
about
it,
that
could
have
been
us
just
think.
H
Every
eight
out
of
ten
trees
on
average
would
be
down,
there's
other
things.
We're
going
to
do
work
with
cross
training
with
public
works
and
other
departments,
anything
that
Parks
can
do
to
help
the
city
be
more
prepared,
we'll
do
it
and
a
lot
of
the
takeaways
we're
just
kind
of
still
going
back
through
and
figuring
out
ways
to
make
our
plans
better
for
the
citizens,
because
that's
what
we're
all
here
for
so
thank
you
again
for
letting
us
represent
the
city
of
Clearwater.
C
All
right,
as
a
city,
we
do
extremely
well
in
preparing
I
believe
we've.
This
is
the
first
time
in
the
past
five
years,
we've
done
a
full
activation
which,
as
you
came
when
you
saw
the
EOC,
it
was
a
bustle
of
activity
because
of
the
need
and
the
expectation
of
what
we
were
about
to
see
and
about
to
get
one
thing
we
did
very
well
is
we
didn't
focus
on
that
thin
line?
Even
at
one
point,
we
were
expected
to
be
Ground
Zero.
C
We
were
in
that
cone,
the
entire
time
so
for
a
week
out
five
days
out,
we
prepared
as
if
we
were
getting
that
high
level
event
the
entire
time,
which
made
us
a
little
more
prepared.
They
spoke
about
the
shade
structures
being
down.
That
is
part
of
our
protocol,
a
lot
of
things
they
didn't
do
we
do
as
a
normal
basis
and
as
a
regular
basis,
because
we
know
how
important
it
is
to
protect
the
community
and
protect
our
infrastructure
backing
up
our
data
centers.
All
this
other
stuff
is
part
of
our
normal
process.
C
Is
Mark
our
infrastructure
a
little
better
like
they
spoke
a
lot
down
and
the
station's
not
knowing
where
everything
is
now
we're
trying
to
track
all
that
stuff
a
little
better
so
that
we
know
if
we
get
hit
we're
not
going
to
be
the
primary
ones,
fixing
ourselves
it's
going
to
be
the
teams
kind
of
help
us
recover
and
everything
else,
and
so
making
sure
that
we
have
that
access
so
that
people
know
reaching
out
to
the
community
better
we're
working
also
with
our
liaison
Community
Liaisons
to
work
with
the
neighborhood
associations,
because
they're
going
to
be
the
ones
primarily
helping
themselves
first
and
then
we're
going
to
kind
of
try
and
help
them
recover.
C
We
have
external
stakeholders
that
we
work
with
the
Clearwater
Aquarium
The
Arc.
We
work
with
who
shelters,
people
inside
their
facilities,
making
sure
they're,
good
and
safe
and
trying
to
broaden
those
relationships
as
we
go
further
and
one
thing
we
do
want
to
make
sure
we
push
out
to
the
community
is.
This
is
televised
as
well
heed
the
warnings
we
did
levels
a
through
C
evacuations,
that
was
over
30
to
40
000
people
that
had
the
potential
to
evacuate
for
the
shelters.
C
Only
5
000
people
won
the
Pinellas
County
shelters
and
that's
not
to
say
that
they
didn't
evacuate,
but
the
shelters
is
the
last
resort.
Let's
make
sure
that
they
do
evacuate
and
heed
the
warnings,
and
you
don't
have
to
go
miles
hundreds
of
miles
you
don't
have
to
go
to
another
state,
we're
two
hours
away
from
the
devastation
that
they
so
short
evacuations
is
better,
sometimes
than
going
long
term.
Having
that
whole
shelter
having
a
plan
knowing
evacuation
zones
and
being
prepared
preseason,
as
opposed
to
a
few
days
out.
B
I
We
are
working
frankly,
every
single
person
that
went
to
support
our
neighbors
they'll
be
receiving
the
team
award
and-
and
there
will
be
other
things
as
as
we
move
forward
and
I
I
just
want
to
Simply
say
it
is
truly
my
honor
to
be
able
to
work
with
these.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
who
went
and
helped
our
neighbors
during
the
the
worst
moments
of
their
lives
and
I
also
just
want
to
single
out
Javon.
I
You
have
to
have
a
captain.
You
have
to
have
somebody
who's
going
to
organize
everything
and
I
have
never
seen
anything
quite
like
the
job
that
Javon
did
during
our
preparations
he
reached
out
personally
to
the
aquarium.
I
I
got
a
really
nice
letter
from
the
aquarium
thanking
a
recognizing
Javon,
and
then
you
know
the
fire
chief,
the
entire
fire
department,
the
police
department,
you
mentioned
utilities,
we
sent
generators
to
help
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
and
the
gas
company
so
I
mean
it
is,
was
all
hands
on
deck
and
I
I
couldn't
be
prouder.
C
It
was
sporadic
how
it
hit
and
and
what's
going
to
happen
long
term
is
the
environmental
impacts
as
well,
because
some
of
the
stuff
that's
not
affected
now
and
Matt-
didn't
even
mention
how
the
trees
were
soaked
with
fuel,
how
the
lakes
are
having
dead
fish
they're
dealing
with
red
tide
down
there
now
they're
dealing
with
bacteria
down
there
now
so
even
right.
Now,
those
who
weren't
necessarily
hit
with
some
of
the
wind
or
The
Surge,
the
after
effect,
is
going
to
be
such
a
long
term.
C
So
and
but
it
was
sporadic
in
the
different
areas.
Some
just
like
in
everything
you
have
some
one
house,
but
then
a
whole
Community
is
torn
a
torn
away,
so
they
were
hit
with
a
60
mile.
The
Iowa
60
miles
wide,
that's
a
60
mile
tornado
and
it
sat
on
them
for
for
a
period
of
time.
So
it
was
total
structure.
J
Know
no,
sir,
the
base
Elevate
the
flood
elevation
that
the
first
floor
is
on
is
at
14
feet.
So
so
we
still
would
have
been
impacted.
We
would,
with
that
amount
of
title
surge
it
would
have
been,
but
again
as
as
Javon
said
even
in
this,
even
during
this
event
we
pulled
them
off
the
island
several
times
and
as
it
sort
of
looked
like
it
wasn't
going
to
be
bad,
we
push
them
back.
So
again
we
had
the
coverage
and
then
it's
just
soon.
J
We
pulled
the
trigger
again
get
him
off
the
island
again,
but
right
about
15
foot
is
going
to
put
it
right
at
that
level,
where
it's
still
now
again
much
more
a
sound
structure
than
probably
some
other
structure
that
you
were
seeing
on
the
on
the.
B
C
We
do
and
we
do
try
and
work.
Joel
works
very
well
with
the
County's
communication
team,
because
one
thing
we
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
do
is
give
mixed
messaging,
and
so
we
try
and
coordinate
all
those
efforts
with
PD
and
with
the
communication
to
make
sure
that
messaging
is
consistent,
because
what
we
have
we
find
as
well
one
group
of
cities.
Another
group
will
say
this
and
then
it
gets
lost
and
then
there's
that
miscommunication.
C
B
So
this
one's
for
Mr
hallias
do
we
anchor
bleachers
and,
as
there
are
ways
to
make
those
less
of
a
sale.
K
We
do
anchor
them,
probably
not
to
the
capacity
that
you
know.
Those
are
I
believe
that
we
bolt
those
down.
Is
that
correct
Mike?
Do
we
bolt
them
down,
but
going
back
to
the
shade
structures
when
we
had
brought
to
you
last
meeting
the
reason
why,
though,
the
price
on
those
cost
so
much
is
because
we
anchor
them
with
concrete
Footers
into
the
ground.
So
you
know
it's
funny.
K
You
know
when
we
go
through
this
exercise,
a
lot
of
times
the
you
know
we
were
raising
the
money
or
going
out
to
price
on
a
lot
of
people
will
question.
Well
why
you
know
I
can
buy
it
from
Dick's
for
x
amount
of
money
yeah
you
can,
and
then
you
have
that
if
you
don't
have
credit,
we
can
definitely
look
into
that
as
we
go
forward
to
replace
those
items.
B
L
B
Happen,
you
know
we'd
have
to
make
people
whole
if
we
didn't
allow
them
to
rebuild
that's
something
at
a
much
higher
level
than
this
Clearwater
city
council.
But
that
being
said,
it
seems
like
from
a
planning
perspective.
Do
we
need
to
do
about
our
code
speaker?
You
have
you
know
certain
height
restrictions,
and
you
know
the
midpoint
of
rooms
can
only
be
so
we're
going
to
allow
houses
to
go
above
the
14
feet
and
have
planning
ramifications
and
I.
Think
it's
something
you
know
as
we're
doing
the
24
25
plan
and
the
comp
plan.
B
C
We
have
to
keep
pushing
out
stuff
like
this
and
unfortunately,
you
are
going
to
have
those
that
never
going
to
believe
it.
We
are
past
that
hundred
year
level
they
say
you
get
a
100
Year
storm.
This
would
have
been
ours.
Maybe
next
season
it's
going
to
be
ours,
that's
gonna
be
a
tough
one.
We
just
have
to
keep
consistent
with
our
messaging
and
let
them
know
it
is
real
and
let
them
know
what
we
have
and
keeping
those
Community
Partnerships
and
external
Partnerships
and
and
I
know.
C
Readily
every
year,
I
usually
speak
at
different
groups
to
try
and
keep
this
message,
our
staff,
your
staff,
the
city
staff,
takes
it
all
very
seriously.
They
work
so
hard
from
the
from
the
first
day.
They
start
getting
notifications
to
make
sure
we
are
ready.
So
our
city
believes
it's
just
a
matter
of
getting
those
naysayers
who
who
won't
and
you're
going
to
have
that
and
and
unfortunately,
that's
something.
We
can't
fully
believe.
B
In
yeah
I
heard
about
the
shallower
waters
that
we
have
I
heard
about
the
Native
American
burial
grounds
that
that's
kept
storms
away,
I
mean
I,
just
sit
there
and
shake
my
head
internally.
When
I
hear
some
of
these
stories,
we
just
can't
be
complacent.
Other
questions
or
comments,
Eugenics.
I
Mayor
I,
there
was
you
and
I
spoke
before
the
storm
about
making
sure
the
hotels
were
cleared.
We
have
that
in
terms
of
in
their
development
agreement,
that
we
have
that
Authority
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
the
public
knows
that
we
did
enforce
that
and
moved
all.
The
hotel
operators
were
very
helpful,
very
supportive
and
we
did
clear
those
hotels
not
to
the
satisfaction
of
of
certainly
the
guests,
but
I
think
they
were
always
they
were
wanting
to
get
out
of
Harm's
Way
as
well.
I
I
also
wanted
to
mention,
and
chief
Slaughter
would
be
able
to
speak
to
this.
Much
better
than
me
is
I
know
that
all
of
you
received
some
complaints
about
beach
access.
You
know
in
terms
of
not
us
not
allowing
people
to
get
onto
the
memorial
Causeway
going
to
the
beach,
and
it's
my
understanding
chief,
that
the
sheriff
of
Pinellas
County
makes
that
decision.
N
Necessarily
so
obviously
the
sheriff
has
some
authority
to
to
to
make
those
determinations,
but
certainly
fdot
can
make
a
determination
shut,
the
bridge
down
too
and
and
if,
if
I
felt,
the
danger
was
such
I'd
shut
it
down
myself
as
well,
you
know,
Sheriff
did
make
a
decision
to
and
he
was
very
collaborative
when
we
when
he,
when
he
did
so
to
initially,
you
know,
put
the
checkpoints
in
place
and
then
get
to
a
point.
I
think
it
was
Monday
night
that
we
ended
up
shutting
it
down.
N
He
did
make
a
choice
to
reopen
it
the
next
day
and
we
did
the
same
thing
but
then
later
once
the
bands
of
the
storm
started
coming,
the
winds
got
such
that
that
our
Personnel
out
there
were
dealing
with
the
bands
of
the
Winds
and
the
the
light
Mass
on
Memorial
Causeway
have
never
been
very
resilient.
N
For
me,
we've
lost
several
of
those
getting
knocked
over,
and
so
so
we
did
make
a
decision
as
the
kind
of
the
peak
time
of
when
the
winds
were
the
worst
to
shut
down
our
particular
Bridge,
not
the
rest
of
the
counties.
N
N
On
my
own,
there
was
probably
one
of
the
things
that
I
discussed
with
Jovana
communication
thing
that
we
probably
could
have
done
better
in
that
regard
and
kind
of
communicated
that
probably
in
a
little
different
I,
think
I
think
we
we
got
to
make
sure
that
we're
comfortable,
pushing
out
our
own
communication
and
not
trying
to
we
all
want
to
collaborate
with
the
county
have
a
uniform
message,
but
there's
going
to
be
unique
times,
we
need
to
push
out
unique
messaging.
Just
for
us,
I.
N
N
Don't
have
necessarily
written
criteria
for
Bridges,
fdot
does
and
sometimes
the
difficulty
with
the
beach
is.
Some
bridges
are
higher
than
others,
and
so
the
wind
is
going
to
be
different.
You
know
at
a
higher
Bridge,
like
Memorial
Causeway,
compared
to
a
small
one,
and
you
know
down
down
further
south
of
us,
so
that
was
kind
of
the
fdot's
point
of
consternation.
We
don't.
We
have
one
for
our
staff,
you
know
we
pull
our
staff
off
at
45.
I.
Think
FD
is
the
same.
So
so
we
do
have
that
constituting
policy.
B
F
I
did
bring
that
up
at
Fort
Pinellas
to
with
Blanton,
and
he
said
that
that
bridge
down
there
the
roadway
was
different
than
ours.
We
have
the
mangroves
on
each
side
that
he
says
would
definitely
protect
our
roadways
where
they
were
pretty
much
bare
and
the
water
came
through
and
undermined.
It
was
a
different
I
think
because
I
was
asking
about
curbing.
F
If
that
would
be
a
good
thing
for
us
to
do,
you
know
to
fixing
the
roadway
a
little
bit
and
he
the
fdot
guy,
was
there
as
well,
and
he
said
no,
that
they
have.
We
have
better
protection
on
ours.
So
what
happened
down?
There
would
not
necessarily
happen
with
our
Causeway.
A
C
Definitely
I'll
make
sure
you
get
it
and
also
I'd
like
to
say
this
year
with
our
after
action.
You
want
to
make
sure
we
get
you
all
those
comments
as
well.
So
if
you
have
something
that
you
learned
or
Pete
constituents
talk
to
you
about,
please
let
us
know
if
it's
practical
and
possible
we'll
try
and
do
it.
Okay,
but
let's
just
make
sure
you
know
we'll,
try
and
capture
and
see
if
we
can
do
that
way,
everybody's
on
the
kind
of
same
page
and
we
can
work
together.
Q
Good
morning,
Council
City
staff,
Billy
Kirkpatrick
Human
Resources
I'm,
seeking
your
approval
of
this
addendum
to
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
with
the
Fraternal
Order
of
Police.
This
addendum
reflects
an
increase
in
the
pension
multiplier
from
two
to
two
and
a
half
percent
and
a
reduction
in
the
vesting
period
from
10
to
5
years.
These
changes
result
in
a
benefit
which
is
better
aligned
with
the
average
of
similar
plans
based
on
type
represented
group
and
employee
cost.
B
K
Morning,
mayor
council,
Jim
Halley
is
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation
I'm.
The
item
that
we
have
before
you
today
is
for
the
authorization
of
a
purchase
order
for
our
annual
landscape
maintenance
contract.
We
had
six
respondents
for
the
invitation
to
bid
and
we
awarded
out
to
five
of
the
respondents
for
a
total
annual
contract
in
the
amount
of
876
000
with
two
one-year
renewals
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Just
had
one
question
Jim
on
the
difference
between
if
we
look
at
the
responses,
there's
a
four
and
six
SBE,
which
is
like
small
business,
Enterprise
right
and
then
DB
yeah
DBA,
oh
diverse
yeah.
What
is
DBA.
A
K
Exactly
you
hit
it
on
the
head
mayor,
we've
actually
had
a
couple
where,
based
on
past
performance,
they
bid
on
more
I,
want
to
believe
it's
unless
I'm
here,
looking
yeah
Botanical
divisions,
they
they
came
in
and
based
bidded
on
a
few
sites,
but
based
on
the
capacity
and
kind
of
past
performance
of
us
working
with
them.
We
went
ahead
and
awarded
them
two
sites.
K
So
it's
primarily
you
know
capacity
issues
and,
like
you
said,
if
you
know
God
forbid,
something
happens
like
a
covet
or
something
like
that,
and
someone
gets
a
large
portion
of
their
team
out
sick
for
a
while.
Then
you
know
we're
going
to
have
issues
if
we're
reliant
on
one
vendor
throughout
the
whole
city:
okay,
consent,
yeah,.
A
Sorry
one
one
other
question:
I
looked
on
the
legislative
text,
so
when
we
you
have
zones,
nine,
seven
and
nine
will
be
managed
by
Parks
and
Rec
Department
in
zone
eight
by
public
utilities.
Department
properties
managed
by
Public
Works
will
include
rights
of
way.
So
I
had
a
question
about
what
is
managed
by
and
then
when
you
talked
about
what
go
ahead
with
the
managed
by.
K
Yeah
sure
managed
by
would
be
that
we
have
staff
that
will
go
out
and
inspect
these
properties
to
make
sure
they're
being
cut
at
the
correct
intervals
and
then
once
that
has
been
verified,
then
we
go
forward
with
authorizing
the
payment
to
the
contract.
So
that
way
you
know
we're
making
sure
the
Market's
done
an
importance
to
our
standards.
A
Okay
and
then
you've
got
vendors
were
asked
to
provide
Landscaping
Maintenance
services
for
all
those
things
we
control
mulch
maintenance
and
litter
removal.
Do
we,
you
know
what
does
the
adopt
a
park
or
adopt
a
section
of
the
city
like
as
far
as
litter
control?
Do
we
take
full
advantage
of
that?
We.
K
Do
and
primarily
those
are
going
to
be
more
directed
at
our
talks.
You
know
so
where
we
have
Crest
Lake
Park
and
in
the
new
established
parks.
That's
where
you're
going
to
go
in
and
have
the
adopt
the
parks
you
may
have
them
on
certain
right-of-ways.
This
Contracting
is
includes
medians.
That
includes
you,
know
certain
right-of-ways
and
then
also
just
you
know,
public
buildings
and
areas.
K
So
you
we
always
find
that
more
successful
with
our
adapter
Park
program
is
when
someone
can
put
a
name
's
Quest,
Lake
Park
belongs
to
the
X
company
or
cherry
Harris.
Park
belongs
to
the
next
company.
That
should
be
that's
how
we
do
that
we've
taken
full
advantage
of
it.
Samantha
molay
when
she
was
in
our
department
before
she
moved
over
to
be
the
neighborhoods
manager,
did
an
excellent
job
with
that
and
Cali
has
went
forward
and
continued
that
success
as
well.
K
K
So
if
it's
that's
a
simple
what
we
call
Almo
and
go
where
they're
going
to
go
out
there
and
do
that,
then
we're
comfortable,
giving
that
to
a
contractor
versus
areas
that
we
have
a
higher
level
of
service
expectation
a
park.
You
know
certain
buildings,
you
we
maintain
those
on
our
own,
so
it's
not
so
much
I.
Think
it's
more
of
an
efficiency.
Okay,.
B
It's
also
been
an
ongoing
debate
where
you
know
back
in
the
mid
2000s.
We
had
a
lot
more
crews
internally,
but
we,
but
we
pay
more
in
benefits,
Health,
Care
pensions
and
everything
else,
and
there
was
a
time
during
the
Great
Recession
that
we
outsourced
things
because
it
was
less
expensive
and
in
fact
you
know
in
the
areas
that
weren't.
E
E
R
Morning,
mayor
city,
council,
city
managers,
Mike
Lockwood
assistant
director
for
Parks
and
Recreation
and
friendly
this
morning
is
a
sponsorship
agreement
between
the
city
of
Clearwater
and
ESPN
production
Inc.
This
new
three-year
agreement
outlines
the
production
and
operational
obligations
by
both
parties,
so
we
can
continue
to
build
on
a
very
successful
event.
With
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
S
H
Morning,
Council
mayor
city
managers,
again
how
you
doing
I'm
Matthew,
Anderson
senior
manager
of
Parks
and
Recreation.
This
is
a
two-part
project.
It's
a
piece
of
it.
301
502.87
is
structural
repairs
to
the
facility
there
at
BayCare
there's
also
an
additional
234
983.50
for
repairs
to
the
dugouts,
the
structural
pairs.
This
happens
every
year
the
dugouts
have
had
issues
for
several
years.
We
get
flooding
issues
the
water
can
get
as
deep
as
two
feet
and
the
basement
area
on
home
plate
or
I'm.
H
A
So
when
I
looked
at
this
I
remembered,
you
know
something
similar
coming
before
us
last
year:
I
guess,
because
I
had
to
look
up
spalling
concrete
whatever
that
meant,
but
do
we
have
an
annual
inspection
of
this
okay?
So
every
year
we
spend
about
a
half
million
dollars
to
make.
There
are
half
a
million
of
you
know,
repairs
that
need
to
be
made
each
year
pretty
much.
It's.
T
H
Have
an
engineer
record
come
out
and
inspect
the
stadium
facility
from
underneath
all
the
way
up
to
the
top
to
the
roofs
and
what
they
do
is
they
come
up
with
a
list
of
priorities?
As
far
as
structural
repairs,
you
bring
up
Spalding
rebar
when
you've
got
a
20
plus
year
old,
concrete
the
moisture
all
that
the
humidity
we
have
in
Florida.
It
allows
that
rebar
to
rust
and
essentially
small
bust,
the
concrete
off.
So
what
that
does
is
allows
this
engineer
record
to
come
out.
H
Inspect
the
stadium
find
the
most
pertinent
safety
eyes,
there's
obviously
there's
tons
of
aesthetic
things
that
need
to
be
done
that
are
handled
in-house,
but
as
far
as
structural
repairs
that's
done
every
year
and
we
have
used
the
same
eor
over
the
last
few
years
because
it
allows
them
to
have
that
base
knowledge
of
what
they're
looking
at
what
they
remember,
repairing
or
playing
the
prepared
the
plans
for
two
repair.
Yes,
every
year
this
will
continue
to
be
have
to
be
done
to
assure
a
safe
Stadium.
A
But
aren't
those
documents
that
they
have
where
they
do
an
inspection
of
everything
and
then
they've
got
what
they
are
going
to
repair
and
what
may
need
to
be
looked
at
next
year.
Those
belong
to
us
right.
So
if
we
want
to
get
a
bid
from
someone
else,
we
can
share
that
information
about
inspections
and
you're
marking
for
the
future
right.
H
We
could
absolutely
what
we'd
have
to
do
is
we'd
have
to
provide
all
that
up
front
and
for
an
engineered
record
to
reveal
all
that
there
would
be
a
cost
at
that
as
well,
so
I
mean
absolutely
that's,
certainly
something
that
I
can
discuss
with
Jim.
If
you
got,
if
you
feel
like
we.
H
H
A
H
Is
it's
been
an
ongoing
problem?
One
of
the
things
that's
also
being
done
separately,
there's
some
drainage
being
put
on
the
field
which
will
help
with
this.
But
one
of
the
issues
we've
got
is
the
dugouts
are
below
grade.
So
when
you
get
rain
and
obviously
baseball
fields,
you
have
to
cover
them
to
keep
it
a
playable
surface.
H
H
So
what
we're
doing
is
we're
taking
out
the
sumps
that
were
originally
spec,
because
they're
not
efficient
enough,
we'll
be
putting
a
new,
deeper,
bigger
sumps,
we're
putting
in
two
pumps
that
way,
if
one
fails,
we'll
have
a
backup
or
they'll
run
simultaneously
to
move
the
water,
we're
expanding
the
size
of
the
drains
to
help
collect
that
water.
We're
also
putting
a
sediment
trap
in
that
home
plate
Dugout.
B
H
We
could
now
this
with
this
and
and
the
maintenance
help
from
Philly
staff
to
keep
the
dugouts
clean,
I
think
we're
going
to
have
a
real
successful
product.
So.
A
And
just
one
little
question
and
you
may
roll
your
eyes,
but
it
was
just
it
just
caught
my
eye
and
looking
at
the
contract,
we've
got.
You've
got
three
thousand
three
hundred
sixty
dollars.
It's
on
item
6A,
remove
repaint,
concrete
ramp,
okay,
so
three
thousand
three
hundred
and
sixty
dollars
and
then
6B
is
paint
touch
up,
one
whatever
one
means
and
that's
3
354
dollars.
I'm
like
is
that
to
touch
up
for
the
entire
ballpark,
or
is
it
just
for
that?
You
know
ramp
area,
because
that
seems.
E
H
Ramp,
that
comes
down
into
the
away
Dugout
that
ramps
down
so
that'll
be
included
in
that
as
well
as
well.
H
All
they
need
is
a
structural
repair
so
that
you
know
if
you
have
to
go
in
and
chip
out
a
section
of
concrete,
that's
Fallen.
You
go
back
in
and
fill
it
there's
sealer
or
different
types
of
paints.
They
all
get
approved
through
the
engineer
that
will
be
put
on
that
to
hopefully
extend
the
life
and
the
bond
of
that
concrete
repair.
I
Mr
Jennings
I
just
wanted
to
mention
to
to
the
council
and
to
the
public
that,
prior
to
this
past
year,
a
lot
of
the
repair
work
had
been
on
hold
been
put
on
hold
in
order
to
waiting
for
a
a
relationship
with
the
contract.
Extension
of
the
contract,
with
the
Phillies
Mr
hallios
and
I
worked
together
last
November
to
bring
to
you,
which
is
I,
think
what
you're
referencing
parts
of
that
need
of
Maintenance
to
have
for
us
to
be
able
to
move
forward
as
opposed
to
waiting
for
a
final
agreement.
I
It's
it's.
The
it's
similar
to
other
assets
that
we
have
in
the
city
where
maintenance
has
allowed,
has
not
been
done
on
a
regular
basis.
Therefore,
we're
having
to
spend
millions
of
dollars
to
to
upgrade
our
facilities,
which
is
frankly
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
with
the
entire
staff
in
making
sure
that
we
are
investing
in
our
particularly
our
Capital
assets
on
a
regular
basis.
So
we're
not
stuck
with
multi-million
dollar
repairs
or,
frankly,
replacements.
K
E
K
One-Year
renewal
options
we
sent
this
out
to
bid
and
we
only
had
one
responsive
bidder,
the
blown
in
mulch,
really
it's
a
huge
asset
for
us
going
back
to
what
the
mayor
spoke
about.
You
know
utilizing
it
our
medians
and
a
lot
of
the
high
traffic
areas.
We
don't
utilize
this
all
over
the
city,
it's
you
know
primarily
in
our
high
traffic
areas
and
areas
that
we
staff
cannot
get
into
that
quickly.
We
don't
have
to
go
out
on
the
causeway
and
set
up
an
mot
to
put
mulch
in.
K
A
This
one
caught
my
eye
I
know
that
it's
a
tiny
amount
150
000
for
blowing
in
mulch,
but
it
caught
my
eye
because
anytime,
we
only
have
one
respondent.
It's
like
what's
going
on
here.
We
don't
have
any
comparators
and
also
we
had
no
one
bid
from
Pinellas
County,
it's
like
don't
we
have
any
people
in
the
county
that
blow
in
mulch
that
we
can
hire
local
and
why
aren't
they
responding.
K
You
know
we
reach
out
to
to
all
vendors
purchasing.
Does
a
very
good
job
I
will
tell
you.
This
is
a
very
selected
amount
of
selected
service
is
not
offered
by
too
many
people,
so
you
know
they
kind
of
have
a
the
market
cornered
on
this.
You
know,
maybe
maybe
we
we
get
our
own
blown
and
mulch
machine.
You
know
I
got
to
talk
to
the
city
manager
about
that,
but
you
know
we
actually
have
looked
at
that
and
it's
it's
cost
prohibitive.
B
K
It
is,
and
then
we're
also
restricted
by
dot
on
what
we
can
use.
You
know
if
you
take,
for
instance,
you
go
down
East
Lake
Road
in
Largo,
they
put
lava
rocks
in
some
areas,
I,
don't
know
how
they
got
away
with
that,
because
we're
not
allowed
to
do
that.
You
know
we'd
have
to
go
back
to
them
and
ask
them
to
put
in
you
know,
live
rock,
but
we
find
from
an
organic
standpoint
and
also
a
weed
barrier
and
for
moisture
for
keeping
moisture
into
the
the
plant
bed.
F
Just
a
comment,
because
you
know
I
always
like
to
have
shell
and
my
Planters
around
my
house
and
my
plants
never
did
really
well
and
I
had
a
landscaper
come
in
and
he
told
me
that
you
know
the
shell
keeps
heat
in
the
soil
and
so
the
mulch.
We
ended
up
going
with
moss
because
it
does
retain
water
and
it's
cooler
and
the
plants
seem
to
like
it.
So
and
I
did
follow
up
with
the
blower
down
the
causeway
a
month
or
two
ago.
K
U
Morning,
Council
Tom
Mahoney
engineering
departments,
so
in
August
of
1985,
the
city
acquired
this
10
foot
strip
of
land
for
a
utility
or
utility
easement.
The
abetting
Roger
Street
was
recently
vacated
and
that's
their
this
particular
10
foot
triple
n
became
an
uneconomic
remainder.
We
do
have
Utilities
in
our
retaining
easements
for
the
for
the
existing
facilities
and
the
city
staff
has
supported
this
declaration
of
surplus
for
the
purpose
of
sale
through
invitation
to
bid
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Any.
U
Well,
there's
already
one
being
developed
the
apartment
complex
behind
it
and
they're
they're
the
budding
property
they
vacated,
a
portion
of
Roger
streets
for
their
development,
and
now
this
10-foot
strip
is
basically
difficult
to
maintain.
U
Tom,
Mahoney
engineering.
This
item
is
requesting
Council
to
declare
a
portion
of
the
this
property
Surplus
to
support
the
Community
Dental
Clinic
and
amend
its
current
lease.
The
Community
Dental
Clinic
currently
leases
this
space
and
as
their
lease
is
coming
up
due
in
February
of
23.
This
this
they
have
requested
an
amendment
for
the
lease.
In
order
to
amend
this
lease
to
decorate,
the
Declaration
is
necessary.
The
dental
clinic
has
requested
a
two-year
two
two-year
extensions
and
Council
has
recommended
approval.
This
Surplus
any
questions.
B
Not
us
directly,
but
obviously
the
dental
clinic
Mr
Jennings,
provides
a
great
service.
I
was
at
the
ribbon,
cutting
for
the
new
Nova
Southeastern
they're,
going
to
be
also
offering
pro
bono,
dental
services
and
I
hope
we
can
help
coordinate
Nations
I.
Think
Transportation
may
be
one
of
the
issues
getting
folks
out
there,
but
I
talked
to
the
dean
of
the
dental
school
and
the
amount
of
pro
bono
work.
They're
going
to
do
is.
U
M
Warning
mayor
and
Council
Rich
Gardner,
director
of
Public
Utilities.
The
item
before
you
today
is
for
the
award
of
purchase
orders
for
brass
fittings
and
valves.
The
fittings
and
valves
are
used
in
the
water
distribution
system
for
new
connections
and
repairs.
M
V
Good
morning,
Council
the
item
before
you
provides
custodial
services
for
City
facilities.
Multiple
vendors
were
selected
to
ensure
service
capacity
in
the
event
of
under
failure.
Additionally,
approximately
40
percent
of
the
requested
funds
were
not
allocated
and
held
as
a
reserve
to
cover
needs
that
may
arise
during
special
events.
Special
requests
and
CPI
increases
available
for
questions.
A
That
was
pretty
amazing
right
compared
to
some
of
the
others
that
we
only
had
one
and
what
I,
what
I
want
to
try
to
understand
is
for
or
out
of
state
which
I
understand
you
know
they
would
might
have
their
national
headquarters
or
Regional
headquarters
out
of
state
and
obviously,
if
it's
custodial
Services,
the
people
live
close
by
right,
but
is
there
a
way
to
prioritize
it
or
or
should
we
look
at
locally
owned
businesses
and
maybe
they're
just
franchised
out
of
you
know,
Georgia's
headquarters,
but
also
I'm,
wondering
and
I
spoke
briefly
to
our
City
attorney
Mr
Margolis
about
when
we
contract
out
for
janitorial
or
for
the
maintenance
of
the
parks.
A
Can
we
require
that
those
subcontractors,
the
people
we
contract
with
pay
a
minimum
15
wage
right
now?
The
way
our
city
does
I
know
our
state
is
phasing
in,
but
is
that
something
that
we
want
to
talk
about
and
consider?
Because
those
are
people
who
live
in
our
community
and
they
need?
You
know
to
approach
a
living
wage,
not
that
fifteen
dollars
is
necessarily
a
living
wage,
but
is
that
something
that
we
can
do
as
a
city
to
you
know
exhibit
our
values
about
our
people?
Who
work
for
us?
A
W
W
However,
Council
does
have
the
freedom
by
ordinance
to
set
any
criteria
you
like,
so
whether
it's
going
to
be
minimum
requirements
of
living
wage,
whether
it's
going
to
be
that
local
presence,
we
have
to
be
a
little
bit
careful
on
a
couple
other
characteristics
like
demographics,
because
that
can
run
into
equal
protection
issues,
but
as
far
as
small
businesses,
it's
more
or
less
within
council's
discretion.
To
set
these
things
by
ordinance.
If
that's
a
discussion,
the
council
would
like
to
have.
A
I
think
it's
important
to
start
to
think
about
it
about
whether
or
not
we
want
to
have
a
discussion
that
says
we
are
requiring
the
people
we
contract
with
to
have
a
minimum
wage
of
15,
because
that's
what
we
do
in
the
city
right
now
and
you
know
perhaps
to
give
some
weighting
to
a
local
presence.
We
could
go
as
far
as
to
say.
We
want
to
contract
with
businesses
that
have
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
policy
as
part
of
their
operation.
A
I
mean
are
those
some
of
the
things
that
we
can
put
in
an
ordinance
because
they're
not
discriminatory
and
I,
think
what
they
do
is
reflect
our
values
here,
and
so
yes,
we
might
want
a
contract
out
for
mulch
blowing
or
you
know,
custodial
or
maintenance
contracts,
because
it
saves
US,
money
and,
and
hopefully
it'll
save
us
money,
while
still
allowing
those
workers
to
have
a
respectable
wage.
A
You
know,
because
those
are
our
residents,
those
are
people
that
live
here
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
looking
out
for
them
and
if
we
have
that
kind
of
power
to
put
in
our
contracts
that
we
negotiate
our
values
I
think
it's
important
to
to
think
about
that.
B
B
First
of
all,
the
voters
of
the
State
of
Florida
have
decided
what
they
believe
ought
to
occur
with
wages
over
the
next
several
years,
and
you
say
it's
our
values,
I'd
say
it's
your
value,
I,
don't
know
that
I
completely
agree
that
it's
our
values
as
a
group.
A
B
The
other
thing
you
know
if
we
start
to
dictate
what
a
vendor
is
going
to
pay.
What
I
know
will
happen
is
there
will
be
certain
vendors
they're
not
going
to
do
a
different
pay
scale
for
work
done
for
the
city
of
Clearwater
and
then
have
a
different
pay
scale
for
other
customers?
So
what
they're
going
to
do
is
they're
not
going
to
bid
on
city
of
Clearwater
work
and
when
they
don't
bid
on
the
city
of
Clearwater
work,
then
we
don't
have
as
many
comp
as
much
competition
for
the
bids
themselves.
B
So,
as
always,
I
think
there
are
unintended
consequences
of
us
making
a
policy
decision
that
not
only
affects
the
city
but
also
our
residents.
You
know
people
also
vote
with
their
feet
where
they
want
to
work.
B
That's
where
they're
getting
their
game
but
I,
don't
know
whether
the
city
of
Clearwater
or
government
frankly
should
be
dictating
that
so
I,
don't
necessarily
at
least
it
doesn't
necessarily
fully
represent
my
values
and
as
120th
or
you
know,
20
of
this
body
I,
don't
agree
that
it's
maybe
unanimous
vote.
I
may
be
alone
on
that,
but
I
always
look
at
unintended
consequences
because
I've
been
up
here
well
a
lot
longer
than
everybody
else.
X
Think
it's
something
we
need
to
think
about,
because
I
think
it's
complicated.
On
the
one
hand,
you
know
we're
disappointed
when
we
only
have
one
bidder,
on
the
other
hand,
we're
trying
to
narrow
even
more
the
field-
I
I'm,
certainly
okay,
with
entertaining
A
waiting
system
in
in
terms
of
what
things
we
were
looking
for,
but
I'm
uncomfortable
at
this
point,
without
really
understanding
that
the
consequences
about
dictating
to
other
businesses
what
to
do
with
their
businesses,
because
I
think
that
the
ramifications
might
be
too
great.
X
And
you
know
this
is
taxpayers
money
and,
if
we're
just
going
to
narrow
the
field
so
much
so
that
we're
not
getting
competitive
bids.
Perhaps
we
just
should
stop
and
really
think
about
how
to
if
we're
going
there,
how
to
implement
it
so
that
we're
not
shooting
ourselves
in
the
foot.
A
Well,
I
think
you
know
I'll
ask
to
have
it
put
on
a
future
work
session.
I,
don't
think
I
want
to
get
prepared
for
it
for
the
next
work
session,
but
I
think
it's
I
think
I
can
gather
research
get
other
examples
from
other
municipalities
and
people
that
lead
that
way
and
and
what
the
consequences
are
and
there
could
be
and
and
have
a
more
robust
discussion
based
on
some
research
and
articles
for
the
future,
because,
as
you
said,
it
is
complex
but
I
think
it's
very
very
important
to
consider
it.
S
Good
morning,
mayor
council,
Earl
Blaster
director
salary
waste
General
services.
This
is
pretty
straightforward.
This
is
a
replacement
for
a
vehicle
that
was
destroying
an
accident.
It's
an
in-kind
replacement.
We
need
the
truck.
A
scrapple
truck
is
very
important
to
us
in
our
daily
work,
predominantly
in
residential
picking
up
bulk
items.
With
that
any
questions
you
have.
B
P
A
point
in
Jerry
and
Garrett
to
the
sister
cities,
Advisory
Board,
as
a
youth
member
for
an
unexpired
term
through
October
31st
2024
council
members,
Lucas
geraldi
Smith
is
currently
in
college,
and
that
is
the
reason
why
he
has
resigned.
So
he
is
no
longer
able
to
attend
the
meetings
and
I
have
an
application
for
Miss
yanguera
for
your
consideration.
B
B
S
An
honor
to
work
for
you
in
the
citizens
of
Clearwater
can't
tell
you
how
great
it's
been
to
be
able
to
lead
the
celebration
on
Services
Department,
great
group
of
people,
confident
in
the
people
that
I'm
leaving
behind
that
they
will
continue
the
level
of
service
that
you've
come
to
expect
and
take
it
Forward
into
the
future.
But
thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity.
Yes,
sir,.
P

A

one
and
eight
two
council
members
staff.
After
the
John,
John,
Jennings
and
Mr
margolas
have
joined
staff
that
we
have
reviewed
those
Council
policies
and
based
on
their
feedback.
We
are
recommending
that
certain
policies
be
deleted.
P
The
policies
that
we're
requesting
to
be
deleted
are
either
a
codified
in
city
code
or
are
addressed
in
State
Statute
or
actually
better
served
as
departmental
policies
and
in
the
agenda
item.
I
do
include
some
of
the
revisions
that
we
have
asked
for
Council
to
approve
in
terms
of
the
Amendments
of
policies
and
I
can
go
over
them.
If
you
wish
or.
P
Yes,
so
policy,
one
three
campaign
material
during
meetings-
and
this
is
language-
that
the
City
attorney
added
to
clarify
that
endorsements
of
candidates
are
not
part,
cannot
take
place
on
the
Deus.
A
So
that
one
reads
during
Council
city,
council
and
board
meetings
board
members
will
not
endorse
candidates
or
display
materials
supporting
or
opposing
candidates
or
issues
on
any
election
ballot.
So
does
that
does
the
endorsed
candidates
or
display?
Does
the
display
material
supporting
relate
to
or
issues
on
any
election
ballot,
because
I
mean
we've
all
I
think
pretty
much
spoken
in
favor
of
the
referendum
and
that's
an
election?
That's
on
a
ballot,
and
so
would
that
preclude
us
from
doing
that.
W
I,
don't
believe
so,
although
that
phrase
display
material
predates
my
time
with
the
city,
I
have
interpreted
it's
in
the
like
banners
or
signs,
or
things
like
that
right
things
like
that,
rather
than
people
verbally
expressing
their
opinions.
The
truth
is
policy.
1-3
is
really
up
to
council.
As
far
as
balancing
the
need
for
freedom
of
expression
versus
the
need
for
decorum
in
the
public
meeting
I'm
sure
the
council
will
recall,
we
had
a
little
bit
of
an
issue.
You
know
several
months
ago,
as
we
got
close
to
election
season.
B
W
It
does
not
restrict
US
citizens.
Policy
1-3
is
really
on.
W
I,
don't
believe,
though,
there's
any
intended
restriction
by
that
someone
wants
to
speak
during
their
three
minutes
and
display
something.
That's
has
generally
been
okay,
where
that
gets
I.
Think
more
difficult.
Is
that
watching
the
polar
politically
have
a
citizen
who
who's
supposed
to
be
something
during
their
three
minutes
that
maybe
otherwise.
W
Is
really
where
it
gets
more
more
difficult,
I
think
that
someone
just
having.
X
W
After
they
leave
the
podium
right,
the
mayor's
question
was
when
they
come
out
to
the
podium,
Podium
and
so
has
currently
phrased.
People
are
allowed
to
display,
just
because
we
know
people
often
have
legitimate
things
they
want
to
show
the
council,
they
want
to
say,
take
a
look
at
this
roadway.
Take
a
look
at
this
picture
of
my
neighbor's
house.
You
know
all
the
things
people
want
to
say
during
a
council
meeting
and
90
of
them
are
well
within
the
scope
of
council's
functions.
W
It
only
becomes
disruptive
either
there
and
someone
wants
to
use
their
platform.
You
know
for
which
they
can,
during
their
three
minutes
or
to
council.
Member
to
shade
is
point
when
we
have
people
who
are
not
at
the
podium
who
still
want
to
effectively
undermine
or
infringe
someone
who's
at
the
podium.
By
continuing
to
make
their
speech
known
in
some
way,
whether
that's
by
displays
or
otherwise,.
F
Auburn
so
in
the
past
I'm
going
to
be
over
in
the
old
City
Hall
I,
don't-
and
maybe
this
is
a
question
for
the
mayor,
because
you
have
more
experience
with
this.
There's
been
people
in
the
audience
have
been
bringing
signs
in
like
during
the
election
time.
I
can't
remember
that
as
much
as
I
see
it
happening
here,
especially
in
the
last
election,
where
somebody
would
come
in
with
a
sign
and
post
themselves
like
right
back
of
where
the
camera
is
for
the
whole,
you
know
meeting
which
I
think
is
unfair.
F
O
B
F
We
should
stay
down
Center
Line
and
not
push
it
one
way
or
another
where
it
looks
like
you
know,
a
guy's
sitting
in
back
with
the
camera
right
on
his
sign
that
that's
the
way
the
council
is
reflecting
you
know,
could
we
have
that
in
the
council
room
it
itself
to
have
a
thing,
no,
no
campaign
signs,
or
would
that.
W
If,
if
Council
would
like
me
to
draft
a
rule
that
encompasses
that
I
can,
but
it
has
to
be
very
carefully
drafted,
we
have
to
ensure
a
couple
things.
One,
the
payer
often
points
out
there
can
be
under
the
uninsequences.
Y
W
W
S
W
Would
like
me
to
come
up
with
a
rule
that
that
complies
to
the
Constitution
I
believe
I.
Can
you
know?
W
Council
meetings
are
for
constitutional
purposes,
holding
limited
public
forum,
meaning
that
members
of
the
public
have
the
opportunity
to
come
in
and
have
their
intervals
heard,
but
it
does
not
receive
the
same
level
of
protection,
I
say
being
on
a
public
sidewalk
by
way
of
example,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
at
a
council
meeting
there's
a
balance
that
the
courts
have
had
to
draw
between
encouraging
citizens
to
make
their
views
known
and
to
petition
their
government
for
redressive
grievances
versus
this
council's
need
to
actually
have
to
Corner
them
and
actually
have
an
orderly
meeting,
and,
as
we
all
know,
these
things
can
become
extremely
disruptive.
F
I
just
think
you
know,
and
I've
been
looking
at
a
lot
of
things
for
the
upcoming
campaign
under
the
upcoming
elections
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
and
people
just
don't
have
the
decorum
that
they
used
to
have
10
years
ago,
I
mean
they
cheer
and
clap,
and
I
mean
you're
trying
to
listen
to.
What's
the
debate,
let's
say,
and
you
know
I
don't
know
why
they
even
have
people
in
the
room.
You
know
it's
very
distracting
and
you
know
we
had
I
can
remember
before
when
you
come
in
here.
F
X
I,
don't
know
how
you
all
feel
yes
I
as
well.
I've
seen
some
meetings
where
there
are
people
sitting
on
the
aisle
and
the
signs
keep
moving,
and
so
it's
even
distracting
to
the
citizen
who's
communicating
at
the
phobia
with
those
signs.
So
you
know
social
decorum
is
out
the
door.
Then
let's
control
it
when
we
can
so
I'm
in
full
support
of
that.
P
Gone
policy
one
five
input
from
advisory
boards,
this
policies
being
amended
to
reflect
the
discussion
that
was
held
in
February
and
it
states
council
members
will
agenda
discussion,
items
that
require
Advisory
Board
action
and
provide
staff
direction.
If
there
is
Council
consensus-
and
this
is
really
just
a
process
to
ensure
that
the
collegial
body
is
directing
action
by
the
advice
report.
P
Can
have
conversations
but
direction
to
the
board
should
not
be
given
unless
the
discussions
in
public
holidays,
correct,
okay,
I'll
see
one
nine
representative
balance
this
was
amended
to
include.
It
was
a
scrivener's
error.
It
said
the
word
assure,
and
it
really
should
be
ensure
the
board
has
a
balance
of
race.
A
P
P
A
How
many
times
for
How
many
times
any
one
of
us
had
has
asked
a
question
or
asked
for
information
that
requires
over
eight
hours
of
work
number
one
I,
don't
generally
think
I
ask
for
research,
I
ask
for
a
compilation
of
data,
that's
associated
with
the
city
when
I
want
to
try
to
make
decisions
up
here,
and
so
you
know
just
so
that
people
understand
you
know
we
don't
we
don't
get
to
reach
out
to
staff
members
and
directors
just
on
our
own,
which
is
fine.
A
We
have
to
go
through
city
manager
and
that's
the
way
it
was
with
Mr
horn
and
I,
understand
that
and
respect
that
process.
But
you
know
because
of
that
we
have
to
ask
for
you
know
specific
information
through
Mr
Jennings
to
a
department
head,
but
I
I
just
number
one
I'd
like
to
know
how
frequently
has
a
request
exceeded
eight
hours
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
too
much
to
ask
for
you
know
eight
hours
worth
of
information
so.
P
The
issue
may
not
be
a
problem
with
it's
an
issue
that
may
have
occurred
in
the
past
or
in
the
future,
and
so
it
really
is
in
terms
of
insurance,
city
manager,
no
staff
resources
are
being
used
and
there's
actually
collegial
support.
So
in
the
past
there
may
have
been
requests
from
one
council
member
to
research,
an
item
that
may
have
taken
10
plus
hours
and
in
the
end
there
was
no
support
from
the
collegial
body.
I
The
reason
is,
is
that
we
try
to
be
as
accommodating
our
staff
strives
to
be
as
accommodating
as
possible
until
all
of
your
requests,
but
I
will
say
that
it
also
takes
staff
away
from
doing
kind
of
the
day-to-day
work
as
well.
So
it's
really
trying
to
balance
what
the
requests
are
from
the
council
now
individually.
I
Many
of
you,
not
all
of
you,
but
many
of
you
have
asked
for
a
lot
of
research
to
be
done
on
a
particular
issue
that
hasn't
even
come
before
the
council
at
that
point,
and
so
I
think
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
just
balance
the
expectations
of
of
Staff
time
versus
what
staff
does
on
a
regular
day-to-day
basis.
So
I
I,
don't
think
it's
too
much
to
ask
that
we're
not
taking
an
entire
day
to
to
respond
to
a
request.
I
I,
don't
have
that
exact
number
in
front
of
me,
but
I
know
that
often
staff
spends
a
lot
of
time
like
from
a
budget.
Standpoint
planning
and
planning
spends
a
lot
of
time
on
on
requests
and
others
as
well.
So
I
mean
it's
I.
What
I
don't
want
is
any
of
you
to
think
that
we're
not
here
to
help
or
provide
the
assistance
that
you've
requested
it's
just
being
able
to
balance
between
the
day-to-day
operations
of
what
a
staff
person
has
to
do
in
the
research
for
individual
council
members.
B
It's
something
that
we're
going
to
vote
on
on
Thursday,
so
we
can't
vote
on
this
tonight
anyway,
but
we
can
talk
about
the
parameters.
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
moving
the
four-hour
rule.
I
think
it
ought
to
come
to
the
rest
of
the
council.
If
it
is
important
enough
for
a
council
member
to
request
that
volume
of
a
response,
then
I
think
it
ought
to
be
something
that
should
be
discussed
amongst
the
Council
Members
First.
B
As
you
said,
a
full
pay
currently
out
of
an
employee's
time
or
multiple
employees
that
add
up
to
eight
hours.
That
can
be
significant
dollars,
and
you
know
you
are
still
tasked
with
getting
your
real
work
done,
not
that
any
of
the
requests
aren't
legitimate,
but
I
think
it
also.
We
still
operate
as
a
body
and
therefore
I
think
it
ought
to
be
approved
by
the
body.
P
Next
policy
by
12
special
events,
street
closure
limitation,
we've
added
language
that
authorizes
the
city
manager
for
additional
street
closures,
currently
special
events,
strict
closures
for
special
events
are
limited
to
two
per
calendar
year,
so
that
gives
them
the
authority
too,
provide
for
additional
closures.
Z
On
this
one,
using
as
an
example,
an
organization
that
owns
a
lot
of
property
downtown
so.
Z
Non-Profit
or
would
that
be
say
overall,
the
Church
of
Scientology
or
any
of
their
subgroups
like
a
way
to
happiness,
can
have
two
events.
A

Citizens
Commission
on
human
rights
say
no
to
drugs.
All
the
various
non-profit
options
that
are
under
the
Scientology
organization.
P
P
P
B
A
I
just
wanted
a
clarification
on
this,
so
there
is
a
city
council
letterhead
that
I
don't
use
and
then
there's
also
city
council,
member
I
have
my
own
letterhead
and
so
I
send
out
letters
like
I,
send
out
letters
to
elected
officials
in
Tallahassee
during
the
session.
Thank
you.
Letters
I,
send
I've
been
asked
to
write
letters
of
recommendation
for
Grant
approvals
and
I've
sent
that
on
my
council
member
letterhead.
A
P
B
F
Letters
written
on
City
letterhead
to
other
officials
I
might
have
to
do
that
on
my
own
stationary,
which
I
don't
have.
B
We
should
have
had
it
printed
for
everybody.
I
never
got
mine
well,.
A
Well,
how
about
here
here's
a
an
example.
So
when
I
was
first
elected,
we
were
first
elected
in
covid.
You
know
crushed
down
on
us
and
the
state
was
struggling
with
getting
out.
Unemployment
checks
to
people,
and
so
I
wrote
a
letter
to
our
governor
urging
more
urgency
and-
and
you
know
saying
that
our
residents
were
struggling
here,
so
that
wasn't
anything
on
our
legislative
agenda,
but
I
sent
it
on
on
my
council
member
as
signed
it
as
council.
Member
I.
Don't
think
I.
A
P
It
wasn't
part
of
the
legislative
priorities,
but
I
believe
the
mayor's
corrected
was
something
that
the
council
discussed
during
at
that
time.
It
was
virtual
meetings
and
it
was
a
topic
and
I
think
there
was
a
general
support
from
just
about
every
member
of
council
that
recorded
the
that-
maybe
not
the
I,
don't
remember
if
the
discussion
of
the
letter
was
but
the
topic
the
the
issue
was
discussed
and
there
was
General
consensus.
P
P
B
B
P
It's
actually
already
codified
in
city
code
and
I
will
let
Mr
Belk
as
a
former
planning
director
since
planning
isn't
here
to
answer
that
question
specifically
with.
B
Okay,
we're
going
to
take
a
quick
recess
before
we
continue
on
to
10.1,
because
we're
not
going
to
get
done
in
17
minutes.
B
B
B
B
B
B
M
M
M
M
M
M
W
A
I
just
have
a
few
questions,
and
it's
really
you
know
looking
at
this
and
then
I
received
an
email
from
Bill
Johnson
the
other
day
who
raised
some
questions
so
I
just
thought
I'd.
While
it
is
impossible
to
foreclose
on
homesteaded
properties.
The
question
is:
why
are
there
only
five?
How
many
do
we
have
queued
up?
So
why
are
there
five,
how
many
other
potential
and
do
we
have
a
threshold?
Do
we
have
like
a
Time
threshold
or
a
monetary
threshold?
A
AA
All
so
the
first
question
vice
mayor:
we
generally
take
these
cases
in
five
to
ten
property
chunks.
Okay,
as
we've
done
them,
I.
Don't
want
you
to
hold
me
to
this,
but
I
think
that
there
was
about
35
to
40
properties
that
were
viable
at
the
time
and
by
that
I
mean
they
were
not
Homestead
Properties
that
already
compliance-
and
these
were
the.
AA
The
second
issues
is
there,
a
monetary
threshold
or
a
Time
threshold,
I
believe
there's
no
necessarily
monetary
address.
Only
though
I
try
to
look
at
the
means
that
have
exaggerated,
because
that's
the
time
period
no
more,
there
is
a
statutory
time
period
of
three
months.
The
morning
is
recorded
before
you
can
file
the
Foreclosure
action
saying
that
is
so.
That
will
start
the
that's,
essentially
the
20-year
clock.
B
B
F
A
comment
of
I
think
it's
it's
a
great
way
to
put
some
Biden
or
code
enforcement,
because
we
never
really
have
that
before
and
some
of
the
all
right,
you
know
I've
seen
some
of
the
leans.
The
vines
that
go
against
the
house
have
been
between
five
and
ten
times
the
amount
of
what
the
property
is
even
worth
so
and
in
the
end
we
usually
bow
down
to
just
cost
or
whatever
the
fines
kind
of
go
away.
F
AA
R
W
Mayor
10.2,
it's
also
Mr
fuento's
case.
It's
a
settlement
that
I've
discussed
with
each
of
you
individually.
This
is
the
police.
W
B
I
T
I
Jennings,
mayor
and
Council
today
we're
bringing
forward
staff
recommendations
on
how
to
divide
up
what
was
the
Clearwater
gas
systems
sponsorships
with
a
list
of
deleted
sponsorships
and
also
a
list
of
sponsorships
that
we
believe
make
more
makes
more
sense
as
part
of
the
the
Council
budget
or
or
derived
from
the
general
fund.
So
it
was,
it
was
hadn't
been
intended
to
make
this
part
of
the
budget
process,
but
unfortunately
we
were
not
able
to
get
all
of
this
done
prior
to
the
budget,
commitment
Council.
I
So
what's
what's
really
before,
you
is
a
list
of
recommendations
and
we're
just
looking
for
some
sense
of
what
you
would
like
for
us
to
do
with
this
from
the
from
the
council.
I
Yes,
so
there
is,
there
was
and
is
concerned
about
some
of
the
expenses
that
are
being
that
was
charged
to
the
gas
company
that
which
has
a
direct
result
in
impact
on
rate
payers,
and
so,
as
is
the
case
with
a
lot
of
the
different
departments,
a
lot
of
the
different
functions
since
I
arrived
almost
a
year
ago,
we
have
been
looking
at
everything
that
may
have
made
sense
a.
I
The
parts
of
the
deleted
sponsorships
really
were
focused
on
golf
tournaments,
not
something
that
necessarily
the
gas
company
from
a
marketing
and
or
sponsorship
standpoint
and
nor
the
city
in
terms
of
the
city
sponsoring
golf
tournaments
golf
holes
so
forth.
So
that's
the
reason
for
that
list.
I
The
reason
for
the
recommended
list
of
from
the
city
council
is
that,
in
talking
with
members
of
the
staff
that
have
been
here
much
longer
than
me,
I
had
indicated
that
there
are
any
number
of
organizations
that
have
the
council
has
wanted
to
support
in
the
past.
So
that's
how
we
divided
that
up
and
then
the
gas
sponsorships
in
working
with
the
interim
director
Brian
langill
who's,
who
oh
there
is.
I
Y
Yes,
as
city
manager
said
that
we've
been
looking
at
our
sponsorships
very
thoroughly,
you
know
historically,
historically,
we've.
E
AB
Y
Y
You
know
we
cut
back
a
lot
on
those
events
that
you
know
the
evening
events
and
things
like
that,
not
eliminating
them
completely,
but
you
know
we
could
still
do
a
few
of
them
here
that
are
in
the
recommended
spreadsheet.
Here
you
know
we
do
have
our
Phillies
component
there
for
spring
training
and
the
regular
regular
games
during
the
season
that
we
want
to
continue
to
fund
that
sponsorship
and
and
keep
that
in
the
budget.
Y
You
know
we
also
have
our
sugar
Sands
Festival
that
comes
up
in
in
April,
we're
keeping
that
one
in
there
and
also
we've
got
the
Clearwater
Chamber
of
Commerce.
You
know
those
are
big
items,
but
we
have
reduced
the
total
dollar
amount
on
the
chamber,
we're
not
going
to
be
spending
as
much
as
what
we
historically
have
done.
Several
other
ones
like
with
Morton
Plant
nice,
a
foundation
we're
cutting
back
on
those
also
Habitat
for
Humanity.
Y
We
want
to
continue
to
sponsor
that
those
events
but
cut
back
the
like
the
dinner
events
and
things
like
that,
where
we're
getting
our
logo
out
there
and
we're
participating
in
with
the
you
know,
dedicating
the
homes
to
the
residents
of.
We
still
want
to
do
those
kinds
of
things
and
then
just
scale
back
a
lot
of
the
other
outside
events
that
don't
necessarily
give
us
that
type
of
name,
recognition
and
marketing.
O
A
This
is
an
interesting,
you
know,
agenda
item
and
it's
pretty
complex
and
nuanced
and
sensitive,
so
I
certainly
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
also
want
to
I
would
suggest
that
we
have
this
like.
This
is
maybe
part
one
of
the
discussion
to
kind
of
get
a
feel
for
what
we
will
be
talking
about,
and
perhaps
some
more
information
but
I
think
it's
important
that
when
we
have
this
discussion
on
this
agenda
item
we
put
on
our
gas
department
board
hat.
That
is
what
we
are
fun
this.
A
That
I
think
is
what
this
discussion
needs
to
be.
We,
you
know
we
function
as
a
CRA
directors
right
of
that,
and
so
we
need
to
put
on
a
CRA
hat
when
we
have
the
CRA
meeting
and
when
we
set
rates
for
the
gas
company
and
make
decisions
related
to
the
gas
company.
I
believe
that
we're
here
representing
gas
customers
right,
that's
who
we're
looking
out
for
on.
B
B
Y
We
do
a
dividend
of
1.7
million
a
year
minimum,
but
that
can
be
higher
depending
on
what
our
revenues
are
for
the
fiscal
year:
okay,
any
excess
return,
profits,
half
of
the
goes
back
to
the
city.
A
And
then
I
think
there
we
should
have
some
information
related
to
of
all
of
these
fiscal
year.
23
guest
system
sponsorships,
first
of
all,
I
think
you
know
when
we
talk
about
the
Clearwater
Chamber
of
Commerce
I,
when
we
have
agenda
items,
I
hope
that
we're
consistent
in
either
I
think
we
should
call
it
Amplified,
identify
it
as
amplify,
because
that's
what
they
are
so
that
people
don't
think
they're
two
different
things
or
what
is
that
just
to
keep
it
consistent,
but
I?
A
Would
you
know
one
of
my
questions
is
in
in
these
that
are
suggested:
do
does
the
city
fund
these
organizations
this
vendor
name
in
any
other
ways?
So
if
these
are
the
monies
coming
out
of
the
gas
company,
sponsorships
is
clear.
Water
for
youth,
getting
other
money
from
the
city
is
Amplified
getting
other
money
from
the
city.
You
know
just
so
that
we
have
a
clear
understanding
of
how
much
money
city
is
contributing
to
these
organizations.
A
Y
Do
get
agreements
with
these
most
of
these
come
with
an
agreement
that
are
signed,
so
they
would
have
that
full.
You
know.
Scope
of
deliverables
as
well.
I
didn't
include
that
here,
but
but
yes,
yeah.
A
And
you
know,
because
I
don't
know
what
the
Jaber
group
does
annual
Florida
women
in
energy
leadership,
Forum
where
it
is
or
what
what
they
do
or
or
all
of
that
and
I
also
think
you
know
I
I,
think
in
a
perfect
world,
and
this
would
probably
take
more
than
eight
hours
I'm,
not
sure,
but
that
there
would
be
a
one
pager
for
each
one
of
these
organizations:
vendors
that
get
money
from
us,
whether
it's
page
one,
two
or
three
and
and
that
needs
to
be
public
facing
so
on
our
gas
department
page.
A
Y
Certainly
gets
us
more
in
line
with
them.
I
can't
answer
that
right
now
as
to
what
their
budgets
are,
but
but
yeah
it's
it's
getting
us
we're
doing
a
30
35
reduction
in
what
we
historically
have
done
here.
I
looked
at
the
the
10-year
average
of
sponsorships,
and
it
was
right
around
that
300
and
350
000
level,
and
so
getting
this
down
to
225
000
we're
cutting
out
quite
a
bit
there,
but
but
I
do
not
have
the
number
specific
to
other
utilities.
Right
now,.
A
Well-
and
this
brings
us
back-
brings
me
back
to
really
wanting
a
you
know,
not
minutiae
understanding,
but
a
big
picture,
full
understanding
of
the
financials
related
to
big
decisions
in
our
agenda
items
that
probably
take
a
long
time
to
compile
initially
and
then
hopefully,
we
have.
These
running
totals
it'll
be
easier.
You
know
again,
if
it's
a
forward-facing
page
it'll
be
easier
to
update
each
year.
Here's
what
it
is,
but
I
I.
A
What
I
bring
your
attention
to
is
you
know
about
a
year
ago,
Tracy,
McManus
and
the
Tampa
Bay
times
did
that
story
on
our
gas
sponsorships
and
here's.
You
know
what
she
said
of
the
27
municipally
owned
Utilities
in
Florida.
Clearwater
gas
system
is
one
of
seven
that
promote
their
service
with
sponsorship
programs.
The
system
far
outspent
other
utilities
on
sponsorships,
according
to
records
from
2015
to
2021.,
we
spent
on
average
76
dollars
per
customer.
A
The
other
spent
Pensacola
spent
six
dollars
per
customer
Tallahassee
spent
two
dollars
per
customer
Gainesville
spent
fourteen
dollars
per
customer
out
of
those
seven
we
spent
more
than
the
other
six
combined,
and
so
my
question
with
this.
You
know
sensitive
discussion.
Item
is:
are
we
still
going
to
be
an
outlier?
Are
we
comparable
to
other
Public
Utilities?
A
Y
What
we
are
going
to
focus
on
on,
like
I,
said
we're
going
to
get
rid
of
a
lot
of
those
items
that
were
perceived
as
being
in
you
know
not
appropriate
for
the
gas
utility
to
fund
and
do,
and
things
like
that
so
I
I
do
support
this
list
here
that
we're
recommending
for
the
gas
utility.
We
can
certainly
look
at
tracking
better
in
the
future
indicators
and
things
like
that
to
see
what
our,
what
our
return
is,
but
I
think
that
you
know
we
have
a.
Y
We
really
do
need
to
continue
moving
forward
with
these
and
and
grow
our
system,
and
we've
got
a
new
business
development.
Marketing
manager
just
came
on
board
last
week.
We've
got
several
other
management
positions
that
are
coming
on
board.
It's
a
very
exciting
time
for
Clearwater
gas
system
right
now,
and
I
really
think
that
we
need
to
continue
to
move
forward
and
break.
I
The
system,
because
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
out
there
vice
mayor,
just
going
back
to
your
questions,
I
honestly
think
those
questions
are
best
answered
by
the
gas
company
board,
which
is
all
of
you,
because
it's
more
a
policy
decisions
as
to
that
you
know.
Frankly,
we
take
the
policy
guidance
from
the
council
and
the
what
whatever
body
you
serve
on
and
that's
what
we
seek
to
implement.
We've
asked
for
several
things.
Just
on
this
topic.
A
A
I
would
like
to
know
what
what
the
parameters
are
for
deciding
that
you
know
this
organization
gets
funded,
but
this
one
doesn't
other
than
you
mentioned
kind
of
evening
events
or
table
events
and
golf
events,
but
if
we
have
non-profits
in
the
city
that
would
like
to
have
a
gas
sponsorship,
what
are
they
going
to
be
evaluated
on
I?
Think
I,
think
that's
a
fair
question,
and,
and
can
they
apply
each
year?
Is
there
an
application
form?
You
know
what's?
What's
that
all
about.
F
Yeah,
you
know
just
looking
at
this
list
here:
I'm
familiar
with
every
one
of
these
and
they're
very
important.
F
You
know,
organizations
to
be
funded
in
our
community
and
I.
Think
I
think
you
have
weeded
out
at
a
30.
You
know
a
third
of
them
that
didn't
have
anything
to
do
or
really
didn't
give
you
the
publicity
that
you
needed
it
as
a
Enterprise.
F
I
X
X
Some
of
these
organizations
that
we
are
not
going
to
support
I
I
feel
I
feel
awful,
but
I
I
do
see.
I
do
see
the
train
of
thought
where
you're
going
basically
you're
eliminating
any
events
where
there's
there's
less
bang
for
your
buck
right,
so
anything
that
for
the
general
public,
where
you
can
Expose
and
Market
the
company
better,
we
will
retain
and
then
all
then
a
private
sort
of
events.
We're
going
to
remove
and
I
understand
that
train
of
thought.
B
It
that's
almost
rhetorical
yeah,
okay
on
the
list
of
gas
sponsorships,
were
there
any
that
were
reduced.
Y
Yes,
there
were
several
that
were
reduced.
We've
got
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
Amplified
Clearwater.
We
had
spent
over
in
excess
of
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
previous
years.
Well,
ten
thousand
of
that
was
a
membership
as
well.
We
also
Clearwater
for
youth.
We
are
reducing
that
to
25
000.
That
historically
has
been
35
000.
and
the
Morton
Plant
needs
Hospital
Foundation.
Y
We
have
reduced
that
one
as
well
more
plant
is
our
is
our
number
one.
Customer
I
was
going
to
say:
aren't
they
are
our
number
one
customer,
but
the
things
that
we
were
reducing
were
those
dinner
events
and
really
the
recognition
type
things
that
we
would
do
after
hours,
but.
Y
You
know
sponsoring
the
players
luncheon
and
and
also,
and
also
doing
a
golf
tournament
sponsor
for
them
as
well.
You
know
we
have
a
few
golf
tournament
things
in
here,
but
not
any
that
we're
going
to
actively
participate
in
we're
just
going
to
have
our
logo
logo
out
there
and
and
support
them
in
that
respect.
B
I
mean
see
I
I,
look
at
this
a
little
bit
differently
and
I.
You
know
I
appreciate
the
time
so
I
think
they
afford
a
very
valuable
service
to
the
community
and
I
had
lunch
with
the
CEO
just
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
told
them
that
at
the
same
time,
the
times
does
not
set
the
policy
of
the
city
of
Clearwater.
B
This
body
sets
the
policy
for
the
city
of
Clearwater
and
you
know
to
be
transparent.
We
can
do
this
a
number
of
ways.
Obviously,
the
gas
company
has
paid
a
very
significant
dividend
to
the
city.
We
can
either
have
it
coming
out
of
the
gas
company
itself
or
we
can
have
it
coming
out
of
the
general
fund
that
receive
money
from
the
gas
company.
B
Let's
just
call
it
what
it
is.
Ultimately
I
think
it's
important
that
we
clear
water
does
not
have
the
corporate
presence,
unfortunately,
that
Saint,
Petersburg
and
Tampines,
we
just
don't
have
as
many
corporations
and
a
lot
of
those
do
philanthropic
work
within
their
boundaries
and
to
the
corporate
leaders
within
Clearwater
when
I'm
with
them.
I
challenge
them
to
be
putting
money
back
into
Clearwater,
there's
one
that
puts
a
lot
of
money
back
into
an
organization
over
in
Tampa
and
we've
had
the
conversation.
It
rubs
me
the
wrong
way.
B
Frankly,
they
ought
to
be
putting
money
back
in
their
own
Community,
where
they're,
headquartered
and
I
think
Clearwater
gas
ought
to
be
doing
the
same
thing.
B
B
S
B
Cares
really
more
about
anything
when.
E
B
Don't
have
good
health,
so
it's
fine,
but
I
think
it's
a
shame.
I'm
fine
with
the
list
for
the
Council
budget.
There
are
some
things
on
the
eliminated
budget.
I
mean
Chichi's
is
an
incredible
institution
in
the
city.
I
think
we
ought
to
be
participating
in
some
way,
they're
taking
at-risk
kids
and
teaching
them
in
a
fundamentally
different
way,
a
way
that
connects
to
them
I
think
Copperhead
charities.
B
It's
a
golf
tournament.
It's
not
actually
the
golf
tournament.
It
is
but
an
event
that
brings
tremendous
amounts
of
people
to
our
region
and
notoriety.
Most
of
them
stay
on
Clearwater,
Beach,
I,
think
Hep.
B
You
know
again,
they're
really
Breaking
the
Chain
of
homelessness,
the
Mount
Carmel
Community,
Development
Corp.
You
know
sepia
I,
think
those
are
a
shame.
It's
not
very
much
money,
but
what
we
do
to
help
them.
The
Willa
Carson
Health
Center.
You
know
the
twenty
five
hundred
dollar
sponsorship
there,
the
Willa,
Carson
Health
Center,
is
a
a
pillar
in
the
north
Greenwood
area.
B
So
I
would
agree
with
council
member
tashada
and
the
fact
that
you
know
those
are
some.
Those
are
some
of
the
ones
that
stick
out
to
me
take
her
an
unfortunate
elimination
they're
going
to
get
by
without
a
talking
about
very
small
amounts
of
money.
There
are
some
on
the
list
that
I'm
more
than
fine
with
eliminating,
but
those
are
some
of
the
ones
that
I
I
think
are
a
shame
and
I
think
we're
being
somewhat
reactionary.
A
Anybody
who
knows
what
I
do
related
to
this
job
knows
that
I
am
a
supporter
of
organizations
that
are
listed
here
and
the
work
that
they
do
for
underserved
people
throughout
the
county.
I
think
the
question
is
philosophically:
do
we
put
our
charitable
contributions
on
the
backs
of
gas
company
ratepayers?
We
only
have
one
gas
company
in
the
area.
A
It's
not
competitive,
so
those
people
who
subscribe
to
gas
have
inflated
costs
so
that
we
can
make
charitable
donations
and
and
I'm
just
not
sure
that
that's
ethically
right,
if
we
want
to
charge
them,
you
know
a
competitive
rate
and
take
whatever
profits.
We
have
and
then
distribute
them
to
these
charitable
organizations
and
not
all
of
them
are
charitable,
but
if
we
want
to,
then
we
can
do
that,
but
to
you
know
to
put
it
on
the
backs
of
rate
payers.
I
don't
think
is
right
and
I
think
you
know
we
have.
A
We
are
an
incredible
outlier
in
what
other
publicly
owned
utilities
are
doing
and
I
think
you
know
whether
or
not
we
call
ourselves
to
do
your
due
diligence
and
to
ask
questions
is
not
being
a
grinch.
It's
protecting.
You
know
it's
it's
understanding
the
financial
structure
and
and
I
think
you
know
we
need
an
understanding
of
why
we
are
such
an
outlier,
and
perhaps
if
we
have
an
expert
that
comes
and
talks
about
that
and
how
these
other
municipalities,
who
are
spending
a
fraction
of
the
amount
on
sponsorships,
what
their
rationale
is.
A
I
think
that
might
be
important
for
us
to
understand
it.
A
little
better
and
I
also
think
you
know
not
to
put
Mr
Ravens
on
the
spot,
but
you
know
maybe
at
another
meeting
you
know
our
finance
director
can
talk
about
that
about.
How
do
we
quantify
a
return
on
investment
of
you
know,
76
dollars
per
customer
versus
Tallahassee,
who
has
two
dollars
per
customer.
A
I
think
that
these
are
legitimate
questions,
I
open
the
discussion
with
yes,
it's
nuanced.
Yes,
it's
sensitive,
because
people
have
been
getting
this
money
rolling
through
for
years
and
years
and
years
with
no
questions
asked
and
really
like
no
transparency
to
the
public
that
knew
that
that
was
going
on
how
we
compare
with
other
municipalities
and
it's
just
part
of
being
transparent.
Whether
or
not
you
know
you
want
direction
from
the
council
as
a
whole
of
whether
this
information
should
be
published,
I
would
argue
it
should.
A
A
We
publish
our
budget,
you
know
every
year,
great
big,
you
know
200
and
some
page
document
I
think
this
should
be
as
well
and
and
as
I
said,
you
know
if,
if,
if
we're
going
to
have
the
open
Santa
bag
and
not
be
Grinch,
we
should
open
the
doors
to
other
non-profits
to
come
forward
with
a
set
of
parameters
for
how
we
decide
how
you
are
going
to
advertise
the
gas
company,
which
has
no
competition
other
than
electric
and
growing
solar
in
our
area.
B
Y
Competitive
and
we're
very
competitive
with
electric
right
now,
so
you
know
we're
30
to
40
percent
cheaper
than
electric
and
so
we're
the
only
gas
company
in
the
area
here,
obviously
except
for
propane,
which
is
another
competitor.
But
you
know
we
have
to
be
competitive
with
electric
to
convert
over
to
gas.
X
Y
A
And
I
think
that's
perfectly
fine.
So
if
I
look
at
Pensacola,
which
is
spending
six
dollars
per
customer
on
sponsorships
in
Tallahassee
two
dollars
per
customer
on
sponsorships,
what
I
assume
then
again?
This
is
to
have
a
better
understanding.
What
I
assume,
then,
that
Tallahassee
and
Pensacola
is
depositing
more
money
into
the
general
fund
of
their
cities
and
then
that
Council
in
Pensacola
and
Tallahassee
can
decide
that
they
want
to.
You
know,
fund
all
these
things
and
that's
okay.
I
mean
if
that's
what
we're
doing.
That's
I'm!
E
B
I
A
Z
I
am
I'm
happy
with
the
list.
I
I
do
hate
to
see
some
of
these
go,
but
the
overall
I
find
it.
X
F
B
B
I'm
fine
with
adding
the
addresses.
That's
not
a
problem,
I
think
it's
a
Google
search
away,
but.
B
Somebody
says
we're
getting
into
how
organizations
budget
their
money
and
again
they
can
say
it's
going
to
go
towards
X
program.
That
just
means
they're
going
to
move
revenues
from
that
program
into
another
program.
B
It's
accounting
and
you
just
move
money
from
one
bucket
to
another
bucket,
not
to
mention
how
are
we
going
to
go
back
in
behind
them
and
make
sure
that
it
goes
exactly
to
what
they
say.
It's
going
to
I
mean
either.
We
know
these
organizations
and
know
the
work
that
they
do
and
know
that
they're
getting
audited
and
whatnot
and
believe
in
them,
or
we
shouldn't
be.
They
shouldn't
be
on
the
list.
A
AC
Good
morning,
Denise
Sanderson
Economic,
Development
and
housing
department.
So,
as
you
know,
a
city
received
from
the
federal
government
government,
nearly
22.5
million
dollars
in
American
Rescue
plan
act,
local
fiscal
recovery
funds,
otherwise
known
as
arpa,
and
on
August
4th.
This
Council
approved
the
allocation
of
these
funds
to
fiscal
year,
2022
general
fund
government
operations
at
revenue
recovery,
which
does
provide
the
city
the
greatest
flexibility
and
use
of
these
funds.
In
addition,
the
action
on
August
4th
also
allocated
100
of
these
funds
to
12
projects
or
project
types.
AC
So,
as
a
reminder,
the
funds
must
be
uncovered
by
the
end
of
2024
and
extended
by
December
31
2026..
What
I'm
presenting
to
you
today
is
an
overview
of
the
startup
funding
for
activities
in
North,
Greenwood,
community
redevelopment
agency
area
and
four
other
project
types
for
which
funding
solicitations
will
be
made
available
to
targeted
groups
or
populations.
AC
Within
this
allocation,
the
soliciting
department
will
manage
and
monitor
for
compliance
until
the
north
Greenwood
CRA
executive,
director
and
Board
of
Trustees
is
established.
Now
you
could
change
that
if
you'd
like
and
allocate
some
general
fund
Monies
to
the
current
CRA
for
the
administration
of
this,
but
otherwise
they
can't
do
work
in
the
North,
Korea
and
Syria
until
it's
been
formed.
B
AC
In
addition,
we'll
provide
direct
assistance
to
homeowners
and
home
buyers
with
rehab
loans
for
single
family
owner-occupied
homes,
grants
for
rooftop
solar
installations,
if
feasible,
enhanced
down
payment
assistance,
loans
for
the
for
which
a
portion
may
be
considered
a
grant
to
cover
financial
gap
that
does
not
overburden
the
homeowner
applications
for
all
planning
in
this
category
will
be
made
available
through
neighborly
cloud-based
Grant,
Management
Systems.
AC
The
one
million
dollar
allocation
to
Pinellas,
Community,
Foundation
or
PCF
will
support
individuals
and
families
that
live
in
Clearwater
and
have
urgent
housing
or
Social
Service
needs.
Pcf
will
solicit
letters
of
interest
from
non-profit
organizations
working
in
this
space
and
provide
feedback
to
them
and
will
invite
then
a
full
application
from
those
organizations
able
to
exhibit
both
the
capacity
and
the
ability
to
assist
targeted
populations
in
a
timely
manner.
AC
As
I
mentioned,
the
goal
is
to
provide
support,
support
for
those
with
urgent
housings
or
social
services
needs,
and,
unfortunately,
we
recently
received
notification
that
Capri,
Mobile
Home
Park
has
notified
its
residents.
They
must
vacate
the
premises
by
March,
14,
2023
and
so
we're
convening
Partners.
The
city
is
convening
Partners
throughout
the
county
to
coordinate
a
response
and
PCF
will
immediately
begin
with
solicitation
for
letters
of
interest
from
the
partners
in
that
response
activity
seeking
to
provide
funding
for
Direct
Services.
AC
But
while
we
don't
anticipate
the
entire
one
million
dollars
from
going
toward
these
Services,
it
is
an
urgent
need
and
it
will
have
PCS
immediate
attention
in
terms
of
the
administration
of
this
one
million
dollar
fund,
Pinellas
Community
Foundation
will
administer
the
grants
and
submit
monthly
reports
to
Economic
Development
and
housing.
Department
reports
will
include
all
the
financial
transactions
during
the
reporting
period,
beneficiary
data
and
metrics
measuring
the
success
of
each
funded
program.
AC
Next
is
the
nonprofit
funding
and
the
amount
of
one
million
dollars.
This
funding
will
focus
on
markets,
concerts
or
Theater
events,
Arts,
Museum
programs
and
similar
activities.
Cultural
Affairs,
nonprofit
or
canned
grant
program
will
be
used
for
ongoing
programs
support
to
help
existing
programs
return
to
pre-pandemic
levels
and
specific
cultural
projects
for
one-time
events
or
art
installations.
The
focus
there
is
on
Place
making
applications
for
all
funding
in
this
category
will
be
made
available
through
neighborly
again
and
solicited
by
cultural
Affairs,
division
of
the
office
of
innovation
who
will
administer
and
monitor
for
compliance.
AC
And,
lastly,
we
have
education
grants
or
Partnerships
These
funds
will
be
used
to
provide
grants
to
non-profit
or
governmental
entities
for
programs
that
focus
on
educational
opportunities
for
students
who
have
suffered
academically
due
to
the
pandemic.
Qualified
organizations
with
experience
in
providing
educational
programs
serving
Clearwater
residents
or
students
who
attend
Clearwater,
who
attend
schools
in
Clearwater,
May,
apply
new
or
expanding
program,
may
include
after
school
and
Summer
Bridge
programming,
high
impact,
tutoring
student,
Readiness
and
stem
programming.
AC
The
city's
city
clerk's
office
will
solicit
applications
through
neighborly,
who
will,
and
they
will
also
administer
and
monitor
for
compliance
and
then
finally
I'd
like
to
mention
that
budget
is
creating
a
page
that
will
show
all
of
the
approved
spending
categories
with
the
chart
of
budgeted
versus
actual
spending
totals
for
each
and
they'll.
Be
able
to
put
this
information
on.
It
would
be
able
to
put
information
on
this
page
on
how
to
request
the
grant,
so
the
phone
number's
contact
information
Etc
will
be
on
that
for
our
public
facing
page
there's
a
course.
AC
I
would
like
to
mention
that
we
have
a
number
of
individuals
here.
Should
you
have
any
specific
questions
of
them:
Gloria
Campbell,
with
a
Clearwater
Urban,
Leadership,
Coalition,
Doug
and
Cooley,
with
Pinellas
Community
Foundation
chuckling,
with
a
housing
division,
Christopher,
Hubbard,
cultural
Affairs
division,
Rosemary
call
with
the
city,
clerk's
office
and
Kayleen
castle
with
budget.
A
Vice
mayor,
okay,
thank
you,
Denise
you're
welcome
and
thank
you
for
the
information.
So,
if
we're
just
talking
about
this
document,
first
I
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
again
so
I
believe
that
the
interest
earned
on
the
22.4
is
about
150,
000
or
so
161.
A
Okay,
I
would
propose
that
we
agree
that
that
interest
earned
160,
000
or
so
be
put
into
the
three
one
million
dollar
buckets,
because
160
000
isn't
that
much.
But
it
can
make
a
big
difference
in
little
grants
that
may
most
likely
come
out
of
those
three
one
million
dollar
buckets.
AC
So
TBD,
but
nominal
I,
believe
so
within
the
housing
division.
There's
going
to
be
some
significant
administrative
costs
associated
with
managing
3.3
million,
as
you
as
you
might
imagine,
and
with
these
other
ones,
when
I
say
significant,
I
would
anticipate
it's
probably
going
to
be
around
10
percent,
but
it's
just
a
guess
that
would
be
in
line
with
other
administrative
expenses
in
the
rest
of
that
housing
division,
but
the
cost
of
neighborly
it
does
for
every
application.
AC
We
create
there's
a
one-time
cost
in
creating
that
application
and
for
the
authorized
users
and
managing
the
workflow,
and
there
will
probably
be
two
to
three
users
within
each
department
who
will
be
managing
so
that
has
a
annual
license
fee.
It's
not
terribly
prohibited,
but
I
would
suspect
that
for
each
one
of
those
PODS
of
money
it
would
land
somewhere
in
the
five
thousand
dollar
range.
If
I
had
to
guess
in
terms
of
the
cost
of
the
application
and
the
administrative
licensure
of
the
neighborly
Software
System.
For
those
departments
that
manage
those.
B
A
AD
We've
added
these
other
projects
and
programs
to
balance
the
general
fund
so
that
none
of
that
money
ultimately
goes
to
replenish
reserves
or
Reedy
day
funds,
which
is
in
direct
violation
of
the
arba
requirements.
So,
ultimately,
we
don't
have
restrictions
that
others
would
have
if
they
didn't
have
revenue
recovery
and
we're
using
so.
AD
Reporting,
yes
and
no
I
I
think
we
still
need
to
meet
the
spending
requirements,
because
any
federal
auditor
that
came
into
audit
the
program
if
they
follow
the
money,
these
programs
that
we've
created
to
balance
the
general
fund
budget.
If
we
don't
get
that
money
spent
timely,
then
effectively,
we
did
spend.
A
AC
Well,
if
I
could
address
the
administrative
thing
within
the
housing
division,
so
some
of
these
programs
that
we're
proposing
within
the
housing
division
is
3.3
million,
requires
significant
administrative,
I.E,
external
consultants
and
contractors
who
will
do
inspections,
who
will
evaluate
for
solar
as
an
example
all
of
those
costs
we
would
consider
part
of
our
program.
Cost
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
you're,
not
viewing
that
as
administrative
costs
right.
AC
A
And
then
I
had
a
question
still
on
affordable,
well
kind
of
on
affordable
housing
here,
so
you've
got
that
housing
projects
will
include
down
payment
assistance,
rehab,
new
construction,
single
family
and
all
that
stuff
number.
One
I
thought
that
we
had
a
discussion
that
we
weren't
able
to
get
out
a
bunch
of
that
money
with
these
kinds
of
parameters,
and
so
we
were
gonna.
A
You
know
the
cdbg
CV
funds,
we're
kind
of
earmarked
for
this
kind
of
thing,
weren't
they
and
and
so
I'm
wondering
if,
if
we're
putting
3.3
million
for
this-
and
we
had
to
kind
of
turn
some
of
that
cdbg
CV
funds
into
something
else,
I'm
wondering-
are
we
able
to
manage
this
amount?
So
that
was
one
question
then
the
other
question
is:
is
you've
got
it
targeted?
A
You
know
closed
down,
I'm
wondering
how
many
of
them
fall
between
80
and
120,
or
are
those
mostly
80
and
Below.
You
know.
AC
Cwgcv
funds
that
were
recently
reallocated
because
of
some
capacity
issues
that
Jim
fully
described
in
a
previous
meeting
that
was
primarily
public
services
and
everything
that
you're
seeing
or
what
would
typically
be
referred
to
as
public
services
to
nonprofits
different
activities
cwbg
by
turning
nature
is
always
less
than
80
Ami
and
we
have
and
majority
of
Home
funds
and
the
way
in
which
that's
used
is
typically
focus
on
less
than
80
percent
am
I.
AC
The
only
funding
source
we
currently
have
that
can
address
the
80
to
120
percent
for
homeowners
is
the
state
program
ship
so
and
ship
must
have
a
federal
match.
We
typically
use
home
for
that.
So
the
reason
this
went
out
to
the
public
when
we
went
out
and
advertise
it
is
such
targeted
to
that
population
of
80
to
120.
It
does
not
mean
that
we
will
not
support
those
other
populations
with
viable
projects.
A
AC
A
T
Area
the
Arca
funds
are
not
going
to
be
intended
to
be
exclusively
used
from
80
to
120..
We
just
could
have
a
bit
of
a
gap
there.
When
we
don't
have
enough
funds,
we
can
use
ship
funds
for
80
to
120,
but
if
we
use
too
much
ship
tones,
we
get
out
of
compliance
because
we
have
to
use
that
most
of
that
money
on
80
and
below.
So
we
have
a
little
bit
of
a
gap.
Now
it
doesn't
mean
we're
not
going
to
use
our
bus
photos
for
that.
T
Lower
income,
demographic
we
can
and
I
expect
that
we
will.
We
want
to
be
able
to
serve
all-commerce.
It's
not
yes,
there's
a
huge
need
in
the
60
and
below
the
30
and
Below.
All
of
that
there's
also
need
at
the
120
info.
It's
it's
very
widespread.
So
we're
going
to
try
to
kind
of
capture
all
comers
if
we
can.
T
T
I've
scheduled
a
meeting
with
various
non-profits
to
come
together,
assume
meaning
on
Thursday
I
expect
we'll
learn
a
little
bit
more
then
I
expect
that
the
next
step
there
will
be
to
meet
with
with
the
homeowners
with
the
with
the
tenants
in
a
place
that
that
they
can,
they
can
find
and
meet
us
there's
a
lot
to
it.
We
have
a
you
know.
We
went
through
this.
The
county
went
through
this
with
Southern
Comfort
mobile
home
park
a
bit
of
a
template.
We
can
follow
it's
a
lot
of
work.
T
We
don't
provide
those
services,
but
we
have
the
ability
to
convene
people
and,
and
with
some
of
this
money,
that's
flown.
We
can
help.
A
And
then
I
had
a
just
a
suggestion
on
the
grant.
Funding
may
be
considered
for
rooftop
solar
installations
for
new
construction
attached
home
ownership
projects,
if
feasible
and
I
would
say
to
maybe
dovetail
with
green
print.
That
says:
we're
going
to
have
solar
on
1000
low
and
moderate
income
homes
by
2030
that
we
say
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
limit
it
to
just
new
construction,
I
would
say
appropriate
construct.
You
know
appropriate
rooftops
or
something
because
Dunedin
has
a
program
where
they
incentivize
homeowners
to
put
solar
on
the
roof.
T
M
A
A
T
Right,
not
all
of
them
will
be
sure
right,
it's
easier,
it's
much
easier
to
do
with
new
construction
with
an
existing
home.
You
have
you
have
insurance,
you
have
to
be
concerned
about.
You
know
they
might
drop
their
insurance.
There's
Insurance!
You
know,
there's
costs
if
there's
a
lot
more
need
to
be
considered
with
an
existing
Hobby.
A
I
have
a
question
on
the
non-profit
funding.
Category.
I
was
just
wondering
why
we
didn't
put
oh
yeah.
You
went
through
all
that
right.
So,
okay,
the
why
we
didn't
put
non-profit
slash,
arts
and
culture,
because
that's
really
what
it's
for
right
right.
AC
So
the
way
that
I
crafted
this
document
is
to
be
consistent
with
the
previously
published
information
on
the
city's
website
and
I
went
out
to
the
public.
So
you'll
see
those
descriptions
reflect
what
was
already
published.
So
I
wanted
to
provide
that
same
consistency,
but
you're
right.
It
effectively
is
non-profit
cultural
Affairs.
A
Okay
and
then
under
eligibility
criteria,
we
have
ongoing
program
support.
Grants
are
for
organizations
that
are
continuing
existing
programs
despite
covid
or
wish
to
bring
a
program
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels
of
effectiveness
and
I.
Just
I
have
some
concern
with
organizations
that
are
continuing
existing
programs
where
we
may
have
people
in
the
community
that
have
new
programs
that
they
wish
to
start.
A
You
know
non-profits
that
I
think
we
should
be
able
to
help
start
something
they
don't
have
to
just
already
be
established,
I
mean
and
not
like
brand
new,
but
they're
here,
but
they,
but
you
know,
they're,
not
some
of
the
big
players
so
I'm.
Thinking
of
you
know
the
going
home,
Coalition
and
Phoebe
has
got
a
contract
with
a
plum
house
and
is
doing
some
things.
A
We
have
a
number
of
artists
that
offer
crafts
and
things
like
that
in
our
library,
and
perhaps
we
could
subsidize
some
of
that
to
lower
the
cost
or
eliminate
the
cost
for
our
residents
to
take.
You
know
watercolors
or
basket
weaving,
or
you
know,
I'm
sure
and
things
that
they
offer
at
our
libraries.
So
those
are
like
little
ones
that
I'd
like
to.
A
There's
a
program
that
offers
basket.
You
know
Construction
in
the
library,
that's
pretty
well
attended,
but
those
supplies
are
kind
of
pricey.
We
do
pay
the
artist
to
come
and
give
that
instruction.
B
AB
Affairs
coordinator,
the
parameters
of
this
grant
were
based
on
the
buckets
of
information
that
were
created
by
the
council
and
reviewed
individual
artist,
support
grants
or
material
and
Supply
grants
were
not
included
within
that.
The
grant
here
that
we're
looking
at
was
for
arts
and
culture
nonprofits
in
specific.
So
that's
why
you
see
the
structure
that
you
have
before
you
today.
AC
A
X
Although
the
funds
were
removed
from
this
bucket,
it's
not
limited
to
that
definition
am
I
correct
in
that
we
removed
the
250.
from
this
bucket.
However,
we
are
not
limited
to
the
description
of
this
education
grants
and
partnership,
in
other
words,
the
250
of
where
assigned
to
amplify
for
their
incubator
that
was
decided
by
the
council
to
remove
it
from
this
category.
However,
it
is
not
confined
to
its
definition.
AC
Remember
the
discussion
correctly
it
if
I'm
a
mayor
I'm
going
to
be
paraphrasing
some
of
your
words
I
think,
but
you
spoke
of
your
educating
small
businesses
so
that
they
can
create
form
and
grow
and
create
jobs,
and
that's
what
a
business
incubator
does.
It
is,
in
fact,
an
educational
component
for
small
businesses,
so
I
believe
that
was
the
thought
process
and
taking
it
from
this
bucket
was
for
Education
grants
and
Partnerships.
AC
Now
the
program
that
the
seated
clerk's
office
explored
and
is
proposing
here
in
terms
of
how
they
focus
the
solicitation
of
grants
for
the
750
000,
perhaps
is
different
than
what
the
discussion
was
on
August
4th,
but
is
consistent
with
the
description
we
put
out
to
the
public
that
is
education,
grants.
Nonprofits,
excuse
me,
education,
grants
and
Partnerships
for
students
who
have
fallen
behind
academically.
That
was
in
in
the
description
when
originally
proposed.
A
AC
The
Pinellas
Community
Foundation
will
operate
differently
than
than
the
other
two.
So
I'll
speak
about
that
one
first
and
Doug
and
Cooley
is
so
the
Community
Foundation.
You
may
be
aware.
Did
this
very
successfully
using
County
funds
during
the
onset
of
covid,
so
bills
solicit
letters
of
Interest
talk
with
the
non-profits
they'll
frame?
AC
The
cultural
Affairs
office
will
solicit
those
grants
and
I.
Imagine
that
they'll
do
it
they'll
notify
through
notice
of
funding
availability,
Public,
Notices,
social
media,
the
usual
kinds
of
ways
and
means
of
communicating
that
they
have
I
believe
that
those
Grant
applications
will
come
in
they'll.
Be
reviewed
internally
I
know
the
clerk's
office
is
talking
about
creating
a
panel
of
internal
staff
to
evaluate
those
Grant
applications
and,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
these
applications
will
come
back
to
the
council
for
consideration
and
final
approval.
I
believe
that's
what's
intended
before
the
clerk's
office.
A
B
AC
I
would
suggest
that
the
cultural
Affairs
nonprofits,
that's
a
Pinellas
Community
Foundation
has
been
working
in
the
space
with
covet
impacted
residents
now
for
a
couple
of
years
and
has
developed
the
capacity
and
expertise
to
be
able
to
deliver
on
that,
and
perhaps
I
would
suggest
that
we
probably
would
view
that
as
a
distraction
from
the
work
very
necessary
work
that
we
would
like
him
to
to
be
doing
in
his
organization,
rather
than
the
cultural
Affairs
grants
that
our
cultural
Affairs
division
is
very
Adept
at
administering,
along
with
our
CRA
and
some
of
the
programs
that
they
do
and
so
I
would
say,
we
stayed
within
our
lanes.
AC
We
look
for
partners.
Cultural
Affairs
can
certainly
deliver
on
it,
they're
embedded
in
that
and
that
world
of
arts
and
events,
if
you
will
I,
would
say.
Similarly,
the
clerk's
office
has
been
engaging
our
educational
Partners
on
these
and
has
already
had
some
in-depth
discussions
about
the
types
of
solicitations
we'll
be
looking
for.
A
You
know
to
handle
that
number
one,
but
number
two
I
think
you
know
I
think
one
of
the
most
important
things
is
the
solicitation
of
well
the
communication
of
this
information
and
solicitation
or
invitation
to
apply
for
these
funds
and
to
really
make
sure
that
we
can
proudly
say
we
reached
out
to
every
corner
of
the
community
to
let
them
know
about
these
funding
opportunities
and
that
this
is
what
you
need
to
do,
and
this
is
what
we're
looking
for
and
do
we
value
some
collaboration.
Do
we
value
some
Partnerships?
A
Do
we
evalu
some
skin
in
the
game,
some
type
of
a
match
or
a
contribution
I
mean
those
are
kind
of
philosophical
things
and
I
and
I
think
when
we
don't
have
a
large
millions
and
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
to
have
a
rolling
first
come
first
serve
that
it
should
be.
A
You
know
we
should
clear
about
what
we're
looking
for
before
we,
you
know
award
a
grant,
but
more
importantly,
is
to
really
once
we
know
what
we're
looking
for
to
put
that
out
intentionally
and
thoroughly
so
that
our
community
knows
there
were
grants
available.
This
is
what
the
city
was
looking
for.
This
is
how
easy
it
was
to
apply
and
they
got
to
apply
for
those
on
equal
footing.
AC
I
happen
to
know
that
the
cultural
Affairs
division
has
created
an
application,
they're
ready
to
go
on
the
street
with
that,
so
that
application
is
very
detailed
in
what
it
is
that
they're
seeking
who
will
qualify
for
those
grants
and
types
of
grants
that
they'll
be
able
to
provide
Etc.
The
city
clerk's
office
is
not
quite
there
yet,
with
the
creation
of
their
Grant
applications,
the
housing
division.
We
have
not
yet
created
them.
AC
Many
of
them
will
get
rolled
into
our
current
Grant
programs,
maybe
one
or
two
grants
that
we
or
one
or
two
programs
that
we'll
have
to
create
a
separate
application
for,
but
I
think
that
we're
generally
going
to
be
able
to
provide
the
information,
you're
seeking
so
again,
I
think
we're
probably
a
little
bit
young
in
the
education
grants
and
Partnerships
category
to
be
able
to
say
that
fully
right
now,
but
I
think,
and
unless
you
have
funding
caps
on
your
grants.
Did
you
create
that
no.
P
So
that's
where
a
lot
of
the
seven
bedroom
program
tutoring
comes
into
place,
but
really,
what's
envisioned,
is
getting
that
information
out
there
to
those
that
we
know
getting
it
on
our
website,
something
similar
to
I
believe
what
city
of
Largo
is
doing,
keeping
a
simple
application
process
and
have
a
true
grants,
application
in
which
we
received
the
applications
During
the
period
they
are
reviewed
in
terms
of
completeness,
make
recommendations
to
the
city
manager.
Who
then
presents
approval,
and
at
that
point,
if
Council
would
like
to
cap
it
you
could.
P
But
it's
really
you
don't
know
who
will
actually
submit
an
application
until
you
receive
the
application.
So
the
idea
is
to
try
to
keep
it
as
simple,
so
that
if
there
are
organizations-
let's
say
at
the
community
level,
who
aren't
not
necessarily
not
for
profits,
because
they're
so
brand
new.
But
they
can
partner
with
an
established
organization
that
that
is
possible.
L
I
think
a
couple
things
to
answer
that
question.
If
you
ask
us
to,
we
will
but
beyond
that
I
think
you
know
we
envision,
as
we
have
for
a
long
time
being
good
partner
with
the
city.
So
if
the
city
is
administering
funds
and
through
the
clerk's
office
and
cultural
Affairs,
we're
happy
to
help
in
any
way
we
can
as
a
as
a
foundation
as
a
partner
to
the
city.
L
I
think
the
question
that
council
member
Beckman
was
asking
really
about
the
Outreach
for
applications.
That's
critical
and
it's
important,
and
we
have
seen
some
of
the
challenge
in
how
speedy
some
of
that
happens,
and
then
organizations
don't
find
out.
We've
tried
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
pretty
robust
list,
but
then
do
a
lot
of
things
to
connect
with
other
networks
within
the
community
and
happy
to
share
our
information
with
the
city
to
make
your
Outreach
process
as
robust
as
possible.
Thank.

So,
but
I
didn't
hear
I,
don't
think
is
what
we're
going
to
do
with
the
161
thousand
dollars
and
change
that
vice
mayor
Beckman
brought
up
so
I.
Don't
know
if
that's
something
that's
being
decided,
I'll
mention
that
I
will
not
be
here
on
Thursday
city
manager
or
others.
I'm
sure
would
be
very
Adept
at
delivering
this
message
as
well.
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
hear
it
or
if
this
is
something
that
can
go.
B
On
I,
don't
think
I
think
we
can
decide
it
today.
I
mean
my
personal
opinion
still
is
that
we
cover
our
own
administrative
costs
and
I'm
fine
with
the
interests
going
back
in,
even
though
we
could
take
that
interest
and
put
it
back
into
the
general
fund
I'm
fine,
with
putting
it
back
into.
You,
know
the
three
programs
but
I
want
to
cover
our
costs.
First
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
unreasonable,
I.
B
A
E
B
I
Yeah,
just
a
couple
of
items
I
know
we're
running
behind
I
wanted
to
let
the
let
the
council
know
and
the
public
know
that
Theron
Colbert
who
works
for
the
Jacksonville,
Power
and
Light
Company,
has
agreed
and
has
signed
an
agreement
to
become
the
next
director
of
The
Gas
Corporation.
I
I
also
want
to
introduce
Dan
mirabali
Dan.
Do
you
mind
standing
this?
Our
Public
Works
director
I
have
not
had
a
chance
to
introduce
him
to
all
of
you,
so
I
did
want
to
do
that,
like
you,
I
want
to
thank
Earl
Gloster,
but
there
will
be
other
more
time
to
do
that
and
then
finally,
I
just
want
to
thank
City
staff
for
moving
so
quickly
to
put
up
the
new
Phillies
sign
on
the
Old
Courthouse.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
Jennings
I
asked
for
the
new
city
hall
to
be
put
back
on
the
agenda
again
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
see
some
Library
staff
here
that
this
is
not
construed
as
an
attack
on
our
library
system.
B
Rather,
I
still
believe
we
are
making
a
mistake
by
building
the
new
city
hall,
which
today
is
budgeted
at
34
million,
but
we
have
examples
of
Largo
going
from
60
to
4
to
81
million
a
30
percent
Delta
and
one
of
the
things
I
had
asked
the
city
manager
for
and
interestingly
talking
about,
outliers
vice
mayor
with
Statistics,
which
you
pointed
out
with
the
gas
company
I'm,
going
to
point
out
with
our
library
system
to
an
extent
the
reason
that
I
believe
that
we
still
should
consider
building
City
Hall
in
this
building
and
still
have
a
very
outstanding
library.
B
But
some
of
the
statistics
that
I
thought
were
really
intriguing
is
our
per
capita
expenditure
is
double
that
of
St
Petersburg.
We
have
115.
According
to
this
report,
115
589
is
our
population,
whereas
St
Petersburg
is
266
000.,
they
have
seven
libraries,
we
have
five,
they
have
147
748
square
feet,
147
000
square
feet.
We
have
a
146.
B
B
But
you
know
when
you
look
at
imagine
clear
water
and
the
fact
that
you
know
we
went
out
and
had
numerous
meetings,
not
only
because
of
what
was
going
to
be
built
there,
but
certainly
because
of
the
price
and
the
fact
that
we
didn't
go
out
for
a
standalone
meeting
to
make
a
decision
on
a
city
hall.
I.
Think
it's
a
mistake.
B
Currently,
we
are
leasing
our
space
in
the
fifth
year
of
our
five-year
lease
starts
tomorrow,
ironically,
we're
paying
271
thousand
and
currently
the
fourth
our
fifth
floor
at
our
building
is
also
available,
although
I
think
it'll
get
so
in
the
not
too
distant
future,
but
even
if
we
were
paying
542
000
for
that
space
and
doubling
our
space
over
at
the
600
building,
that
would
represent
1.59
percent
of
the
34
million
that
we're
going
to
spend
on
a
new
City,
Hall
I
believe
in
spending
money
in
public
spaces,
like
parks
and
recreation,
centers
and
libraries,
because
that's
what
the
citizens
really
utilize,
but
using
it
for
a
space
that
a
lot
of
people
will
never
set
foot
in
I.
B
Think
it's
a
waste
of
resources
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
that
people
get
caught
up
on
with
cities
is
them
not
being
creative
and
looking
outside
the
box
and
following
all
the
other
municipalities.
B
These
statistics
on
this
sheet
are
startling:
they're,
Way
Beyond
the
parameters
of
other
municipalities.
When
is
when
talking
about
outliers,
and
you
can't
have
the
outliers
in
one
area
and
not
on
others.
So
you
know
we're
spending
three
times
what
Dunedin
is
Largo
is
48
Less
on
the
bottom
line.
Z
Z
If
that
happens,
I,
don't
think
it's
unreasonable
for
a
city
to
have
a
city
home
and
one
of
the
benefits
of
the
new
city
hall
when
it
was
first
pitched.
At
least
you
know
when
we
got
on
the
council
was
now
we've
got
a
part
of
part
of
the
staff
at
the
bank
building,
but
we're
not
all
together.
If
we
had
a
city
hall,
everyone
would
be
together
in
that
building
as
part
of
the
entire
complex
there
for
the
city.
That
seems
like
a
reasonable
and
good
investment
for
the
city
for
the
future.
B
B
F
Okay,
you
know
when
you
first
brought
up
this
concept.
I
was
thinking
because
I've
always
been
thinking
that
you
know
imagine
Clearwater
and
the
transformation
of
Osceola
and
was
going
to
be
an
active,
Edge
and
I.
Never
thought
that
City
Hall,
which
is
actually
on
the
other
side
of
you,
know
it's
on
Pierce.
It
was
really
would
contribute
anything
to
our
active
Edge
that
we
all
imagined
in
a
magic
Clearwater.
F
So
that's
why
I
was
against
moving
the
city
hall
here
because
it
was
like
we
should
move
it
off
the
bluff.
First
of
all,
I.
Don't
think
we
need
to
have
a
Taj
Mahal
overlooking
the
water,
but
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
you
said
got
me
thinking
and
I
was
thinking
of
doing
away
with
the
library,
because
the
first
time
you
mentioned
it,
it
was
like
we
can
build
a
library
somewhere
else
put
City
Hall
here.
F
But
then,
when
you
brought
up
the
fact
that
we
had
90
000
square
feet
here
and
we're
in
a
you
know
temporary
City
Hall
with
13
000
square
feet,
and
even
if
we
doubled
it
like
what
you're
saying
with
the
fifth
floor,
that's
26
000
square
feet.
So
if
we
took
26
000
square
feet
out
of
this
ninety
thousand
foot,
Library
I
mean
you
got
sixty
four
thousand
feet
left
over
for
Library
library
and
Museum,
or
you
know
things
that
I
thought
would
still
work
here
as
an
active
Edge.
F
So
I
did
some
calculations
too
on
the
list
that
you
gave
me
and
just
figuring
out
what
the
square
footages
are
for
the
libraries
in
the
five
communities.
Here
we've
got
five
libraries
and
146
492
square
feet:
that's
29
259
square
feet
per
Library,
which
almost
fits
in
it's
actually
the
Third
behind
St
Pete
and
Tampa
Tampa
Hillsborough.
F
They
got
29
libraries,
20
338
per
I'm,
saying
an
average
per
Library
they're,
making
it
work
with
20
000
feet,
so
64
000
the
balance
of
what
would
be
left
over
if
we
moved
City
Hall
here
is
twice
three
times
what
camping,
St
Pete
have
21
000
for
Saint
Pete
I
mean
I,
never
really
thought
of
it.
That
way.
In
that
context,
we
got
plenty
of
room
for
an
active
edge
here
with
the
combination
of
City
Hall.
Here
my
my
one
concern,
though,
would
be:
where
do
we
park?
F
Where
do
we
park,
people
that
come
here
and
I
I
know
now
we've
we
do
Park
them
out
in
the
street
and
we
park
them
pretty
much
fullest,
but
we're
using
across
the
street
as
well.
That
still
happen,
I
mean
do
we
have
enough
parking
here?
If
we
had
full-time
City
Offices
here,
would
they
walk
from
the
you
know?
Two
or
three
blocks
I
mean.
Have
you
thought
of
that
aspect?
That's
the.
F
Never
was,
you
know,
never
really
thought
about
this
and
I
didn't
I.
Guess
after
that
we
kind
of
stopped
talking
about
it.
But
I
started
crunching
numbers
with
this
and
it
seems
to
me
we
have
plenty
of
room
for
a
library
and
Museum
and
eating
facilities
when
we
want
to
put
a
coffee
shop
or
some
other
things
that
we
did
change
the
we
did
change
the
charter
for
that.
For
this
building.
B
F
F
If
it's
a
combination
deal
I'm,
not
sure
how
much
it
would
cost
for
the
remodeling
and
all
that,
but
it
certainly
would
be
less
than
what
we're
spending
on
architectural
and
money
for
the
lot
over
there
and
we
have
developed
development
opportunities
for
that
land
as
well.
That
could
make
up
so
I'm.
S
B
X
Yeah
I
had
the
same
reaction
to
those
numbers.
X
However,
it
doesn't
change
my
opinion
that
City
Hall
should
not
be
in
a
library
in
this
location,
Waterfront
and
so
I
did
a
pros
and
cons
and
for
the
pros
it
just
outweighed
so
much
we're
creating
a
campus,
that's
close
to
other
supportive
business
or
buildings
and
services
next
to
the
Future
PSTA.
X
Well,
there
will
be
parking-
and
you
know
when
I
look
at
surrounding
towns
and
just
off
the
top
of
my
head,
a
small
one,
vachula
5
000,
roughly
five
thousand
citizens
and
they
have
a
city
hall,
and
then
this
beautiful
city
of
120
000
is
going
to
have
a
couple
of
floors
in
our
library.
X
A
I
agree,
I
agree
with
most
of
what
now
council
member
tashada
said:
I
mean
I've
articulated
those
comments
before
this
is
a
phenomenal
building.
The
location
is
amazing.
It
needs
to
be
open
to
our
public
and
I'm,
really
hopeful
and
excited
about
when
the
park
is
activated.
People
will
come
up
to
the
second
and
third
floors.
Look
at
that
view.
Look
over
on
the
park.
You
know
get
out
of
the
elements
it
just.
A
This
is
not
the
place
for
a
city
hall
and
the
parking
challenges
are
Incredible
without
City
Hall
here
and
so
I.
Like
the
idea
of
the
campus,
that's
what
we
decided,
we
gave
direction
from
the
dice
and
I
think
we
should.
You
know,
stick
with
it
and
I
think
these
numbers,
especially
when
we
look
at
Largo,
Largo's
library,
is
beautiful
and
it's
right
there
at
Central
Park,
and
it
gets
a
lot
of
they
get
a
lot
of
cross
traffic
there,
which
is
nice
and
I.
I,
see
that
happening
here.
Z
Four
things
that
the
people
in
the
public
would
really
appreciate.
I
think
the
gallery
that
we've
established
here
is
a
terrific
thing.
A
performance
space
would
be
nice,
I
think
there
are
you.
You
yourself
said
that
not
many
people
are
going
to
walk
into
a
city
hall,
but
if
we
have
a
dining
spot
down
here,
we
have
Gallery.
B
B
It's
not
going
to
compete
with,
what's
going
to
be
at
the
hotel
and
going
to
be
the
residential
Apartments,
because
this
was
never
designed
properly.
Having
hoods
in
here
are
very
difficult
because
of
the
way
the
building
was
designed
and
we've
had
three
cafes
here,
they've
all
failed
and
I,
don't
necessarily
believe
that's
the
business
we
ought
to
be
in
that
ought
to
be
the
public
private
sector's
domain,
but
you
know
I
think
it
was
worthy
of
bringing
up
again.
B
There
are
several
topics
that
several
of
the
council
members
continue
to
bring
up
all
the
time
and
I
think
this
is
still
a
mistake
and
I
think
it
shows
a
lack
of
creativity,
but
this
will
be
the
last
time
I
bring
it
up,
so
I
can
count,
but
I
still
think
you're
all
making
a
big
mistake
and
I'm
also
very
disappointed
you're
unwilling
to
have
a
public
meeting
to
really
hear
from
citizens
what
they
want,
and
that
will
come
back
up
again
as
well
down
the
road
all
right.
A
AC
A
Last
week
we
had
a
meeting
of
the
Leadership
Council
and
as
they
sent
out
their
memorandum
of
understanding
to
all
of
the
partner
organizations
and
members
on
this
leadership,
Council
they've
gotten
some
different
feedback
back,
and
so
they
are
revising
it
polishing
it
reviewing
the
mission
and
impact
goals
and
I
just
want
to
stress
number
one.
This
is
not
a
new
program.
This
Thrive
by
five
is
they're,
describing
it
we're
describing
it
as
a
convener
to
bring
together
service
providers
for
Children
and
Families.
A
There
are
about
25
organizations
within
the
county
that
can
impact
a
child's
Readiness
for
kindergarten.
That's
what
Thrive,
by
five
years
old
means,
and
so
what
we
are
developing
is
a
one-pager
that
articulates
the
goals
to
advance
that
work
of
kindergarten
Readiness.
A
You
should
know
that
Pinellas
in
the
state
in
Pinellas
County
in
our
state,
leads
in
making
progress
with
kindergarten
Readiness.
So
we
are
doing
well,
but
our
numbers
are
not
super
positive
compared
to
nationally,
but
we
have
benchmarks
against
ourselves.
What's
interesting
is,
as
it's
been
explained
to
me,
and
we
said
on
a
meeting-
is
that
Pinellas
is
rich
in
resources,
but
very
poor
in
engagement,
and
so
this
Thrive
by
five
organization.
A
Their
goal
is
to
get
out
the
message
that
these
are
the
programs
that
are
available
to
families,
to
children,
to
get
your
child
ready
for
kindergarten
and
learning.
So
the
function
is
going
to
be
to
amplify
and
accelerate
the
opportunities
for
improving
Readiness
for
school,
and
that's
everything
from
parent
education,
improving
Child,
Care
safety
and
Trauma
recovery,
nutrition,
Health,
all
that
stuff.
So
I'm,
not
asking
you
for
anything
right
now.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
update.
So
it's
on
your
radar-
and
this
will
probably
you
know,
probably
show
a
share.
A
A
polished
memorandum
of
understanding
and
ask
us
to
sign
on
Our
in-kind
obligation
would
simply
be
somebody
from
the
council.
May
sit
on
that
leadership
board
and
help
report
back
and
spread
the
word
about
what's
going
on
in
the
county,
which
is
what
I'm
doing
now
is
just.
They
asked
me
to
be
on
that
board,
so
we're
just
a
commitment
to
collaboration
and
maximizing
Children
and
Families,
taking
advantage
of
the
programs
that
are
already
there
that
they
just
might
not
know
about.
So
that
was
the
update
on
Thrive
by
five.
B
I
would
just
want
to
know
economics
of
it
what
we're
committing
ourselves
to.
So
when
you
bring
back
polished,
you
know
memorandum,
if
those
aren't
components,
I
completely
support.
What's
trying
to
be
done
because
I
think
it's
critically
important,
but
without
specific
numbers
both
from
Mankind
and
if
there
are
any
Financial
Obligations.
That
may
be
an
issue,
absolutely
yeah.
Okay,
anything
else.
A
All
right
new
business
for
next
meeting.
That's
why
I'm
asking
oh
okay
I'll,
give
an
update
on
I
had
my
first
meeting
last
week
with
the
opioid
abatement
funding
board.
It's
just
a
small
little
five-member
board,
but
I'll
give
you
an
update
on
that
at
the
next
meeting.
