C
So
about
every
year
I
try
to
go
around
to
all
the
cities
and
you're,
my
second
so
far
this
year.
Just
to
give
you
a
very
quick
update
on
some
things
that
we're
looking
at
and
today,
I'm
going
to
focus
on
some
legislative
priorities
and
the
issue
of
transportation
earmarks
that
we
have
to
to
deal
with
on
occasion-
and
I
appreciate
your
your
time
this
morning
I
wanted
to
let
everyone
know
that
we
are
currently
in
a
call
for
projects
for
our
transportation,
various
transportation
funding
sources.
C
We
have
three
right
now
that
are
open,
and
on
september
25th
we
have
our
transportation
alternatives,
applications
that
are
due
these
are
for
smaller
bicycle
and
pedestrian
safety
and
mobility
projects.
C
The
context
for
this
is
that,
in
november
of
2019,
we
adopted
a
new
long-range
transportation
plan
for
pinellas
county
called
advantage
pinellas,
and
it's
really
focused
on
a
balanced
mobility
solution
that
reflects
our
land
use
and
redevelopment
context
in
pinellas
county.
We
have
not
too
many
more
roads
that
we
can
widen
or
build
new
roads.
C
So
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
multimodal
projects
party
list,
because
this
is
the
big
one.
This
is
where
we
have
most
of
the
funding
available
through
state
and
federal
sources,
and
this
is
the
basis
for
the
florida
department
of
transportation's
five-year
work
program.
We
do
have
some
requirements
that
the
minimum
project
cost
is
350.
000
often
we
have
projects
like
the
us-19
interchanges
that
are
a
lot
more
expensive
than
that.
C
We
have
set
a
maximum
of
three
applications
per
local
government
or
entity,
and
this
considers
all
modes
so
some
of
our
larger
pedestrian
bicycle
overpasses,
such
as
crossing
gulf
to
bay
at
the
bayshore
area,
east
of
mcmullen
booth.
That's
a
pretty
significant
project.
So
that's
on
this
list
and
we
evaluate
these
against
criteria
that
support
our
advantage.
C
C
You
need
to
have
the
right
of
way
available
or
an
easement
to
use.
The
right-of-way
and
a
local
agency
program
is
called
lap
certification
and
I
think
clearwater
is
lab.
Certified,
not
very
many
cities
in
pinellas
county.
Have
the
staff
capability
to
be
lap
certified,
but
fdot
requires
that
for
use
of
federal
funds,
so
the
county
sometimes
does
offer
to
help
for
some
of
our
smaller
local
governments.
C
The
next
program
that
you're
familiar
with
is
our
complete
streets
program
and
every
year
for
the
last
four
years,
we've
had
a
call
for
projects
and
complete
streets
are
streets
that
are
intended
to
be
supportive
of
everybody
who
uses
them,
no
matter
what
mode
they
use
and
there's
no
one
size
fits
all
so
they're,
not
all
two-lane
roads.
Some
complete
streets
can
be
four
lane
roads
and
more,
but
the
idea
is
that
we
provide
safer
accommodations
for
people
crossing
the
street
or
moving
along
the
street,
and
we've
broken
this
up
into
two
categories.
C
We
have
a
construction
program
which
is
up
to
a
million
dollars,
that's
added
to
the
new
fifth
year
of
the
dot
work
program,
and
we
take
that
money
off
the
top.
So
it's
kind
of
a
guarantee
and
again
the
minimum
criteria
pretty
similar
to
what
you
just
saw
for
the
transportation
alternatives.
C
We
do
want
to
see
that
there
is
a
linkage
to
redevelopment
or
a
land
use
strategy
in
a
community
and
the
right-of-way
is
available
and
secured
for
the
concept
planning.
That's
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
we
have
broken
that
up
into
smaller
increments.
When
that
works
for
the
local
government,
such
as
when
we
award
two
programs
in
a
year,
for
instance,
and
that's
to
help
vet
the
project
with
the
public
to
get
ideas
through
the
process,
so
that
people
are
more
aware
and
then
they
can
move
into
a
subsequent
construction
phase
eventually.
C
So
now
I
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
legislative
priorities
this
month.
Well,
next
month,
almost
in
a
day
or
two
in
september,
we'll
be
appointing
our
legislative
committee
council
member
albritton
has
served
on
that
committee
and
in
2019
2020
we
adopted
several
policy
positions
and
the
way
we
like
our
legislative
committee
to
work
is
that
we
focus
on
big
county-wide
issues
where
we
can
hopefully
build
consensus
across
the
county
and
speak
with
one
voice,
whether
it
be
in
tallahassee
or
in
washington
dc
on
some
of
these
issues.
C
The
next
big
topic
for
us
is
protecting
trust
funds,
whether
it
be
the
sadowski,
affordable,
housing
trust
fund
that
historically
has
been
raided
and
swept
into
the
general
fund,
although
this
year
that
did
not
happen
so
we're
hoping
that
that
will
be
preserved
and
then
the
transportation
trust
fund
often
has
had
several
hundred
million
dollars
swept
out
of
it
into
the
general
fund.
In
the
past,
a
big
issue
for
pinellas
county
and
a
few
other
counties
in
in
florida
is
having
more
flexible
and
sustained
transportation
funding.
C
We
had
to
decide
that
there
was
about
400
million
dollars
that
we
could
not
use
out
of
that
eligible
funding
because
it
only
went
to
adding
highway
capacity
projects
and
we
just
don't
have
enough
highway
capacity
projects
so
that
money
will
go
elsewhere
in
the
state
of
florida.
And
if
we
had
more
flexibility,
we
could
use
that
money,
for
instance
on
county
roads,
or
we
could
use
that
money
to
enhance
safety.
C
C
Maintaining
mpo
authority
for
apportionment
structure
is
really
a
fancy
way
of
saying
leave
that
to
the
locals.
Let
the
locals
decide
how
the
mpos
are
structured
and
then
the
last
point
is
supporting
home
rule,
and
this
most,
this
is
every
year,
is
an
issue
most
recently
it
was
in
the
realm
of
vacation
rentals,
which
has
been
a
big
issue
in
some
of
our
smaller
beach
communities,
but
throughout
a
lot
of
pinellas,
county
and
elsewhere
in
the
state
of
florida.
C
Where
the
legislature
essentially
has
said
you
don't
have
the
right
to
regulate
vacation
rentals.
That's
just
one
example.
I
think
you
can
find
a
lot
of
other
examples
where
tallahassee
takes
away
the
rights
of
local
governments
to
to
raise
revenue
to
do
regulations
things
like
that
last
year.
A
good
example
of
home
rule
was
a
legislative
fight.
We
had
over
the
flashing
yellow
beacons
that
you
see
at
mid
block
crossings
throughout
pinellas
county.
C
C
It
passed
a
house
floor
vote
and
then
in
the
senate
it
got
to
its
final
stop
and
essentially
what
it
said
was
these
yellow
flashing
beacons
need
to
be
turned
red
so
that
motorists
will
stop
and
and
if
they
can't
be
turned
red,
then
they
need
to
be
removed
and
they
need
to
be
removed
at
the
expense
of
the
local
government
or
the
state
government,
and
that
would
have
had
a
huge
impact
and
the
reality
is
is
that
most
of
these
are
in
locations
where
you
cannot
put
a
traffic
signal
because
of
warrants
and
then
the
devices
that
exist
that
do
flash
red,
they're
called
hybrid
flashing
beacons.
C
They
are
only
a
few
of
those
there's,
some
new
ones
on
park
boulevard
in
southern
pinellas
county
that
just
got
installed,
but
those
also
cannot
be
installed
everywhere.
So
we
really
face
the
reality
of
having
a
lot
of
unprotected
crosswalks
or
removing
the
crosswalks
entirely,
and
the
reality
is
that
these
things
are
incredibly
safe,
they're
very
cost.
Effective
installation
is,
you
know,
anywhere
from
a
couple
thousand
dollars
to
five
thousand
dollars
and
they're
very
cost
effective.
C
C
So
this
bill
is
probably
coming
back,
so
I
really
just
want
to
get
it
on
your
radar
screen
that
we'll
probably
be
dealing
with
another
challenge
for
these
as
well.
C
So
as
we
look
to
the
year
of
2021,
the
legislative
session
begins
in
march.
Some
of
the
issues
that
we're
beginning
to
track
and
starting
to
think
about
one
is.
We
know
that
the
city
of
st
petersburg
and
some
other
local
governments
may
be
looking
to
broaden
the
ability
of
local
governments
to
use
the
discretionary
sales
tax
penny
for
pinellas
to
fund
affordable
housing.
There
are
currently
some
restrictions
on
that
to
where
it
can
only
be
used
really
to
acquire
land
for
affordable
housing.
C
The
pinellas
county
commission
has
set
aside
some
80
million
dollars
of
penny
for
for
affordable
housing
and
economic
development
and
there's
there's
those
limitations
really
do
constrain
the
ability
to
spend
those
dollars
so
we'll
see
how
much
traction
that
gets
and
we
want
to
make
sure,
there's
consensus
across
the
county
on
that
issue.
C
Certainly,
we
know
they're
going
to
be
some
budget
reductions
due
to
covet
19.
We've
heard
from
the
florida
department
of
transportation
that
the
revenue
estimating
conference
calls
for
about
a
1.5
billion
dollar
revenue
shortfall
just
over
the
last
six
months
in
the
state
of
florida,
and
that's
going
to
affect
probably
six
to
eight
percent
of
our
work
program
in
transportation.
So
we
should
see
some
project
deferrals,
but
we're
hopeful
that
it
won't
be
too
many
further
restrictions
on
local
government's
ability
to
raise
revenue
for
transportation.
C
We're
worried
about
that,
since
we
were
talking
about
a
possible
sales
tax
referendum
earlier
in
the
year
and
then
restoring
local
government's
authority
to
regulate
vacation
rentals,
respecting
local
authority
to
regulate
the
character
of
their
communities
through
land
use
regulations,
including
building
design.
That
was
another
bill
that
fortunately,
was
vetoed,
but
made
its
way
through
the
legislature.
So,
for
instance,
you
couldn't
use
site
design
and
urban
design
standards
to
regulate
land
use
character
and
then
increasing
state
funding
for
local
resiliency
planning.
C
One
of
the
issues
with
being
a
resilient
community
is
that
it
takes
a
lot
of
money
and
that
money
is
just
not
there
at
the
local
government
level
in
a
lot
of
instances.
So
we're
going
to
need
state
and
federal
support
for
that.
This
is
just
a
very
start
of
a
list.
I'd
be
very
interested
in
hearing
if
the
city
of
clearwater
has
any
particular
issues
that
you
want
to
make
forward
pinellas,
aware
of
so
that
we
can
incorporate
them
into
our
priorities.
C
They
no
longer
have
a
large
amount
of
reserves
and
what
we
saw
last
year
and
the
year
before
was
that
as
earmarks
come
in
and
we
had
30
to
45
million
dollars
worth
of
earmarks
in
pinellas
county
is
that
the
district
dot
district
7
has
to
look
to
where
that
money
has
to
come
from,
because
if
an
earmark
is
passed
and
not
vetoed
by
the
governor,
then
it
will
get
funded.
It
jumps
to
the
front
of
the
line,
so
that
can
force
other
priority
projects
out.
C
If
the
governor
vetoes
the
earmark,
then
the
money
is
gone
from
the
budget.
It
can't
be
added
back
to
another
project.
It
is
taken
out
of
the
budget
and
then
the
dot
is
prohibited
from
working
on
that
project
for
a
whole
year.
So,
for
instance,
if
you've
applied
for
an
earmark
for
say,
design
and
you're
still
in
the
middle
of
the
project,
development
or
alternative
evaluation
phase,
then
the
alternatives
evaluation
phase
has
to
stop
too
and
then
it
so
it
could
delay
your
project.
C
C
C
The
other
issue
is
that
a
couple
of
earmarks
last
year
caused
some
real
harm.
So
psga
had
been
setting
aside
funding
for
the
downtown
clearwater
intermodal
center
and
because
of
an
earmark
that
went
to
tubarda
that
money
that
wasn't
ready
to
be
spent,
but
it
was
kind
of
being
banked
for
when
more
money
was
available,
that
money
went
away,
and
so
we
lost
a
million
dollars
that
was
slated
for
the
downtown
intermodal
center,
which
clearwater
is
still
you
know,
20
years
trying
to
find
funding
for
that
project.
C
C
One
of
the
issues
that
we
can
also
do
is
help
you
look
for
other
grant
opportunities.
So
some
of
the
things
I
haven't
mentioned
that
are
grant
programs
that
we
participate
in
safe
routes
to
schools,
the
highway
safety
improvement
programs,
all
maybe,
among
others,
potential
ways
to
fund
the
project,
and
we
can
work
with
you
to
find
those
grant
opportunities
and
build
a
partnership
which
I
think
goes
a
lot
longer
way
than
than
just
going
to
your
legislator.
C
So
again,
some
of
the
keys
here
are
working
through
our
call
for
projects
the
middle
project
process,
finding
other
funding
sources
identifying
what
other
projects
may
be
affected
by
your
earmark
and
then
ultimately,
if
there
is
an
earmark
request,
at
least
getting
the
language
right,
so
we're
doing
what
you
want
done
so
with
that,
I'm
open
to
any
questions
that
you
have
and
just
want
to.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
morning.
C
A
I
just
got
the
visual
with
all
you
ready
questions
whit.
I
do
have
a
question:
what
was
the
specific
problem
that
the
legislature
had
with
the
beacons,
because
those
are
pretty
important,
for
instance,
on
court
and
chestnut,
where
we
get
a
lot
of
cross
traffic
with
people
going
way
too
fast.
I've
seen
some
near
misses
also
been
there
when
there
wasn't
a
near
mess
and
didn't
see
it
personally,
but
I
think
those
are
important
to
keep
in
some
of
our
more
congested
areas
where
we
have
a
conflict
between
bikers
pedestrians
and
vehicular
traffic.
C
I
think
four
of
these
on
state
road
a1a
in
in
brevard
county
about
two
years
ago
and
they're
unfamiliar,
maybe
to
the
motorist
in
that
community
and
last
year
there
was
a
tragic
fatality
where
a
12
year
old
girl
pressed
the
button
to
cross
the
street
and
the
driver
did
not
yield
and
killed,
killed.
The
girl
and
the
driver
said
I
didn't
realize
I
was
supposed
to
stop.
C
C
C
I
think
there
probably
needs
to
be
more
education
and
more
awareness,
and
you
notice
that
the
ones
on
court
and
chestnut
they've
added
a
second
set
of
flashing
beacons
just
to
reinforce
that,
because
that
is
a
fairly
high
speed
corridor
and
people
don't
really
want
to
stop
when
those
flashing
beacons
go
on,
but
I've
seen
a
lot
of
compliance
there.
I
mean
people
do
stop.
C
I
just
think
it's
it's
a
matter
of
getting
aware
of
these
issues,
but
that's
a
location
where
we
probably
could
not
put
a
traffic
signal.
You'd
have
a
lot
more
congestion
if
you
went
to
a
full
traffic
signal
or
even
the
hybrid
hawk
beacon.
That
does
do
a
countdown
and
eventually
turns
red,
because
there's
a
lot
more
delay
with
these
flashing
beacons.
C
You
only
have
to
stop
when
the
pedestrian
is
in
the
crosswalk
and
once
they've
passed
your
lanes
that
you're
in
you
can
proceed
even
though
the
lights
may
still
be
flashing.
Once
the
lanes
clear
of
the
pedestrian
you're
good
to
go
so
it's
kind
of
a
win-win.
It
reduces
the
delay
for
motorists
and
it
gets
the
pedestrian
safely
with
more
visibility
across
the
road.
C
A
A
A
We
need
an
alternative
out
to
the
beach.
We
need
to
have
a
multimodal
site
that
actually
fits.
D
A
C
C
I
am
pleased
to
see
that
the
psta
and
the
city
seem
to
be
working
really
well
together
on
on
the
potential
new
intermodal
center
site
and
coming
up
with
a
design
there.
It
is
very
high
on
our
multimodal
project.
Priority
list
and
psta
did
apply
this
year
for
a
build
grant
with
the
federal
government
to
fund
it,
we're
hopeful
that
that'll
come
through
and
they
will
continue
to
apply
for
grant
funding.
But
that's
the
kind
of
program
where
the
state
of
florida
can
help
us
and
step
up
with
some
additional
funding.
C
C
Over
a
week
ago,
there
was
a
presentation
on
the
aerial,
cable,
car,
gondola
idea
from
daryl
leclair
and
stephen
dale,
their
consultant
and
the
t-bar
to
board
voted
six
to
six
to
zero,
to
move
into
the
next
step
of
working
with
the
city
of
clearwater
and
the
city
of
st
petersburg
to
see
if
we
could
do
a
pilot
project
to
look
at
an
alternative
to
to
have
that
kind
of
technology
linking
downtown
to
the
beach.
C
And
I
know
this
was
an
issue
before
council
two
three
four
years
ago,
as
you
were
beginning
your
imagine,
clearwater
efforts
and,
and
then
it
kind
of
went
away
for
a
little
while.
A
Let
me
ask
you
one
other
thing,
and
I
know
this
is
never
a
popular
topic
taxes,
but
pinellas
has
as
a
county.
Its
county
decision
has
never
maximized
their
local
option.
Gas
tax
has
that
hurt
us
in
federal
matches
because
we
have
not
utilized
all
the
revenue
sources
that
we
have.
C
I
do
think
that
that
is
something
that
the
florida
department
of
transportation
does
look
at
and
that
they're
aware
of,
and
so
when
you
go
to
the
florida
department
of
transportation,
and
you
continue
to
plead
poverty
and
they
say
well,
you
know
you
have
five
cents
that
you
could
just
vote
by
a
majority
of
the
county
commission
it.
It
does
kind
of
beg
the
question:
why
haven't
you
done
that?
C
C
At
some
point,
we
have
not
had
a
conversation
on
that
since
probably
around
january,
when
we
were
looking
at
going
back
to
the
voters
for
a
half
cent
or
maybe
a
full
cent
sales
tax
referendum
and
not
raising
the
gas
tax.
But
I
think
you
know
we're
gonna
have
to
have
that
conversation
again
before
too
long.
Just
given
the
the
fiscal
realities
that
we
face
with
our
trust
funds.
A
F
C
A
All
right
next,
we
have
a
presentation
on
the
belcher
road
and
gulf
to
bay
boulevard.
We
have
ken
jacobs
here.
The
director
of
transportation,
from
pinellas
county
kevin
colo
of
heirs
associates
he's
the
transportation
services
manager
there
and
sham
who
is
the
project
manager
for
the
gulf
today
and
belcher.
If
I
butchered
your
names,
I
I
beg
your
forgiveness
good
morning.
Gentlemen,
thank
you
for
being
here.
G
Thank
you
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
presentation
that
is
going
to
get
run
by
your
I.t
staff-
I
hope,
if
not
we'll
bring
it
up.
A
But
we
don't
have
it
yet.
I
will
tell
you
as
soon
as
it
comes
up.
G
Okay,
anyway,
let
me
go
ahead
and
start
good
morning,
mayor
and
council
members.
My
name
is
ken
jacobs.
We
wanted
to
update
you
on
on
the
pd
e
study,
which
stands
for
project
development
and
environmental
study
that
we've
been
working
on
for
the
intersection
of
gulf
debate
and
belcher.
G
We've
completed
the
technical
analysis
for
it
and
pared
down
the
alternatives
to
three
of
what
we
consider
the
best
alternatives
that
can
address
the
issues
that
we
have
at
that
difficult
intersection.
G
The
next
step
in
the
study
is,
is
to
take
these
options
out
to
the
public,
so
we
can
get
their
input,
so
we
can
figure
out
which
alternative
best
meets
the
the
needs
of
the
project,
but
also
the
needs
of
the
citizens
too.
G
In
july,
we
took
this
presentation
to
the
board
of
county
commissioners
and
we
wanted
to
follow
up
with
the
city,
since
this
is
such
a
critical
intersection
in
the
city
before
we
moved
on
to
the
public
input
meeting,
as
you
mentioned,
kevin's
the
project
manager
and
after
he's
done
doing
the
presentation,
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
and
answer
any
questions
you
have.
G
Hopefully,
I
won't
be
able
to
oh
okay.
I
think
I
can
do
it.
H
Okay,
so
I
think
you
can
there,
you
go
yup,
go
through
that
one
all
right,
so
I'm
sure
everyone's
well
aware
of
the
intersection
we're
talking
about
high
volume,
lots
of
congestion
at
this
particular
location
also
experiencing
some
some
safety
and
operational
issues
out
there
as
well.
We
have
walmart
in
the
southwest
corner
and
publix
in
the
south
east
corner.
The
main
intersection
is
is
signalized
currently,
as
well
as
the
intersection
with
publix
and
walmart,
their
driveways
or
access
roads
that
feed
into
there
also
have
a
traffic
signal.
H
So,
as
as
part
of
this
study
that
ken
had
mentioned,
we
looked
at
an
expanded
traffic
signal
alternative
which
is
fairly
conventional
right,
add
more
and
more
and
more
lanes
to
to
improve
our
capacity
out
there.
H
The
trouble
at
this
location
is
that
when
we
looked
at
adding
dual
left
turn
lanes
for
for
all
approaches,
as
shown
on
the
right,
the
the
graphic
there
you
can
see,
there's
left
dual
left
turns
or
two
lanes
making
the
left
turn
in
all
directions,
as
well
as
right
turn
lanes
that
we
still
had
failing
operations
at
this
intersection
in
our
design
year,
which,
at
the
time
was
2037
and
with
with
more
and
more
lanes,
comes
a
decrease
in
safety
right.
There's
more
conflict
points
you
think
about
pedestrians,
now
crossing
more
and
more
lanes.
H
So
overall,
adding
more
lanes
isn't
necessarily
the
best
thing
when
it
comes
to.
H
In
addition
to
that,
due
to
the
lengthening
of
these
turn
lanes
and
adding
of
turn
lanes,
we
would
be
required
to
remove
the
walmart
publix
traffic
signal
to
the
south
on
belcher
road.
We
would
have
a
raised
median
or
traffic
separator
through
there
that
would
prohibit
vehicles
from
turning
left
in
and
out
of
that,
and
it
would
really
just
be
right
in
right
out
type
of
access
to
those
particular
driveways.
H
So
some
pretty
pretty
significant
impacts
with
the
traffic
signal
alternative
and
it
really
wasn't
providing
the
level
of
operations
that
we
were
looking
for,
with
the
comparative
cost
of
between
15
and
18
million
dollars,
we
looked
at
different
alternatives
of
of
where
belcher
road
would
be.
H
If
it's
you
know
centered
today
or
it
was
moved
to
the
right
or
moved
to
the
left
as
it
went
through
and
through
this
mean
intersection
next
slide,
please
ken
another
alternative
that
was
investigated
was
a
what's
called
a
single
point:
urban
interchange,
alternative
and
you're
familiar
with
that
just
to
the
east
at
19.
You
know
where
you
have
an
overpass
structure,
and
then
you
have
kind
of
ramps
in
interchange
style
that
was
investigated
here.
A
little
different
here
is
that
gulf
to
bay
would
be
going
over
belcher
road.
H
Now,
of
course,
we
have
significant
improvement
of
operations
on
gulf
to
bay,
because
they're,
not
stopping
at
all
a
belcher
would
still
have
the
the
signalized
intersection
underneath
the
structure,
but,
as
you
can
imagine,
some
pretty
significant
right-of-way
and
access
impacts
with
with
this
alternative
and
quite
the
price
tag
too,
with
80
plus
million
dollars
to
to
construct
something
like
that.
H
So
it
was
an
alternative
that
was
investigated,
but
due
to
the
impacts
and
the
overall
cost
didn't
didn't
go
too
far
next
slide,
so
you
know
that
fed
f
dot,
as
well
as
the
federal
highway
administration,
are
really
pushing
and
out
there
looking
at
innovative
intersectional
alternatives
the
day
of
just
adding
more
and
more
lanes.
H
They're
seeing
you
know
decreasing
benefit
with
doing
that,
so
they
have
what's
called
an
intersection
control,
evaluation
process
and
part
of
that
is
this
capx
software
that
they
have,
which
allows
you
to
to
look
at
different
alternatives.
That
may
help
the
the
safety
and
operations
at
this
intersection.
H
So
we
we
brought
that
into
the
study
we
looked
at.
What's
called
a
quadrant
roadway,
a
displaced
left
turns
restricted
crossings
as
well
as
median
u-turns.
So
you
enter
this
information
into
a
spreadsheet
and
then
you
can
enter
traffic
volumes
and
see
what
kind
of
rises
up
to
be
the
preferred
alternative.
Based
on
this
initial
screening
type
of
tool
and
as
you
can
see
ranked
number
one-
was
this
median
u-turn,
east-west
alternative,
and
that's
one
that
we're
here
to
talk
with
you
a
little
bit
about
today
as
well.
So
next
slide,
please.
I
K
The
gulf
to
bay,
boulevard
and
belcher
road
intersection
is
experiencing
increasing
user
delay
in
crashes
due
to
growing
traffic
volumes
to
provide
acceptable
operations
with
traditional
traffic
signal
improvements.
Traffic
models
indicate
that
additional
through
lanes
would
be
required
along
gulf
to
bay
boulevard,
which
is
not
practical
in
this
densely
developed
corridor.
K
The
median
u-turn
intersections
are
designed
to
accommodate
all
roadway
users,
including
larger
vehicles
such
as
school
buses,
emergency
vehicles
and
trucks.
Median
u-turns
are
easier
to
navigate
for
pedestrians
and
cyclists
because
of
shorter
crossing
distances
in
larger
refuge
islands.
The
main
benefits
of
the
median
u-turn
are
increased
efficiency,
median
u-turns
eliminate
left-turn
movements
from
the
main
intersection.
K
This
means
that
there
are
fewer
interruptions
and
more
vehicles
can
move
through
the
same
space
more
efficiently,
shorter,
wait
times.
Median
u-turns
typically
operate
with
fewer
traffic
signal
phases,
which
means
motorists
spend
less
time
stopping
improved
safety.
Median
u-turns
reduce
the
number
of
points
where
vehicles
cross
paths
which
decreases
the
potential
for
crashes.
K
Let's
watch
how
a
driver
would
navigate
the
median
u-turn
at
the
gulf
to
bay,
boulevard
and
belcher
road
intersection
on
gulf
to
bay
boulevard.
All
motorists
who
wish
to
continue
straight
or
turn
right
will
proceed
as
they
would
through
a
conventional
intersection
to
turn
left
onto
belcher
road
motorists
will
go
straight
through
the
main
intersection
make
a
u-turn
at
the
adjacent
median
opening
and
then
turn
right
onto
belcher
road.
K
Let's
follow
along
as
the
red
car
demonstrates
how
a
vehicle
heading
east
on
gulf
to
bay
boulevard
would
make
a
left
turn
onto
belcher
road
as
the
red
car
approaches
the
main
intersection.
They
will
first
continue
straight
through
the
main
intersection
in
the
left.
Lane
then
move
into
the
median
turn
lane.
K
K
H
H
Was
good
everybody
watching?
It
was
a
little
bit
choppy
on
my
end,
but
it
it's
nice
and
smooth
when
it
when
it
runs
normally.
H
Yeah
and
I
think
before
we
hop
into
any
questions,
I
think
we
got
one
or
two
more
slides.
I
think,
then
we
can
go
back
to
any
any
questions.
Maybe
people
have
here,
but,
as
you
know,
so,
as
the
video
talked
about
we're
looking
at
this
east-west
median
u-turn,
alternative
and
as
mentioned,
it
does
improve
the
safety
and
operations
out
there
improves
those
pedestrian
crossings.
H
One
of
the
big
things
that's
really
not
covered
in
in
that
video
is
that
it
does
allow
us
to
maintain
that
walmart
publix
traffic
signal
on
belcher
road,
so
that's
huge
operational
benefits.
If
we
were
to
close
that
people
coming
in
and
out
of
those
driveways
would
would
then
be
added
into
the
main
intersection
and
be
forced
to
do
some
u-turns.
If
you
can
kind
of
picture
that
if
they
wanted
to
get
to
and
from
that
location,
so
it
really
adds
additional
traffic
to
the
main
intersection.
H
If
we
do
have
to
close
that
down,
so
it's
it's
definitely
a
benefit
to
be
able
to
keep
that
open,
we're
really
pretty
much
staying
in
in
the
existing
footprint.
There
will
be
some
widening
on
belcher
and
some
some
along
golf
today,
but
not
not
as
much
as
as
the
other
alternatives
and
from
a
comparison
cost
is
in
that
13.5
million
dollar
dollar
range
for
that
alternative
and
that
I'll
say
that
is
for
a
full
reconstructor.
What
we're
comparing
is
of
of
the
intersection.
H
So
it's
there
are
options
of
potentially
just
adding
on
some
lanes
here
and
there,
instead
of
full
reconstruct,
but
that
that
is
a
comparative
cost.
So
with
that
ken,
I
think
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you
for
this
slide.
G
Yeah,
let
me
just
this:
is
the
last
slide
I'll
go
ahead
and
just
go
over
the
next
steps.
So,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
have
to
go
out
to
the
public
for
a
public
input
process.
G
We'll
all
three
of
the
alternatives
that
you
saw
today
would
be
what
we
would
go
out
to
the
public
with
plus
basically
a
no
build
scenario
which
is
part
of
the
study
concept,
we'll
we'll
provide
that
get
that
feedback
from
them.
G
We
will
take
that
feedback
summarize
it
and
take
that
back
to
the
board
of
county
commissioners,
at
which
time
they
need
to
determine
which
is
their
preferred
alternative.
So
the
pd
e
study
from
this
point
on
has
to
go
forward
with
just
one
alternative
to
be
analyzed,
so
that
decision
will
be
made
once
that's
done.
They'll
go
ahead
and
finalize
the
pd
study
for
that
to
be
approved.
G
It
needs
to
be
finalized
and
sent
over
to
the
fdot,
and
then
those
are
some
preliminary
estimates
for
when
we
see
the
further
steps
to
to
go
forward,
but
before
we
did
that
we
wanted
to
bring
it
back
to
the
city,
so
you
could
see
at
least
the
other
ones.
The
the
first
two
alternatives,
pretty
straightforward.
The
the
third
alternative
is,
is
something
that
the
fdot
and
many
other
municipalities
are
looking
at.
G
These
alternate
intersection
designs,
just
because
we're
running
out
of
right-of-way
to
to
expand
our
roadway
system,
so
this
is
another
way
to
basically
spread
the
the
need
for
that
capacity
into
these
different
intersections
one
on
either
side
to
handle
the
left
turns.
G
I
Yeah
one
of
the
things
that
I
really
noticed
about
that
intersection
is
a
danger
to
pedestrians
anybody
standing
on
the
corners.
I
mean
you
feel
like
you're
standing
in
traffic,
and
I
noticed
on
the
kind
of
the
drawings
that
it
looked
like
those
corners
were
expanded
a
little
bit.
Maybe
the
sidewalks
pushed
back
you
know
would
allow
pedestrians
to
be
pushed
back
a
little
bit
from
the
roadway.
H
And
I
can
I
can
take
take
that
one
yeah
I
mean
we
will
be
looking
at
some
little
wider
sidewalks
for
refuge.
Accommodations
for
sitting
in
the
corners
will
definitely
be
part
of
that.
One
of
the
bigger
things
is
that
in
the
in
the
median
where
we
had
left
turns
previously,
we
can
now
actually
put
up
a
place
for
them
to
have
refuge
a
little
bit
in
the
middle
of
the
median
as
well.
So
there's
a
little
bit
more
space
for
them
to
sit
there
as
well.
H
We
still
would
want
pedestrians
to
be
able
to
cross
in
one
stage,
but
if,
if
they
were
to
catch
it
at
the
end
or
or
slower,
walkers
would
be
able
to
seek
refuge
in
that
middle
area
as
well.
But
yeah
looking
at
pedestrians
as
well
as
bicycle
accommodations
through
here,
is
a
big
component
of
this
design.
I
Yeah,
because
keane
and
gulf
to
bay
is
a
lot
better,
intersection
does
have
those
medians,
for
I
think
it
just
makes
it
a
little
more
safer
to
have
that.
That
way.
L
When
you're,
when
that
video
mentioned
a
sing,
signalized
median
opening,
does
that
mean
there
is
a
traffic
light?
That's
going
to
signal
when
people
can
cross
three
lanes
of
traffic
and
do
a
u-turn.
H
Correct
yep
that
will
be
they'll,
be
so
instead
of
one
signalized
intersection,
three
of
them,
but
the
three
intersections
work
together
and
are
what
we
call
coordinated.
So
both
u-turns
would
both
be
going.
At
the
same
time,
eastbound
westbound
traffic
will
be
stopped
to
allow
those
u-turns
to
happen,
but
then
once
say,
westbound
traffic
gets
the
green
light.
They
would
not
have
to
stop
at
the
main
intersection,
so
they
would
continue
through
that
main
intersection.
H
So
that's
what
the
design
is
based
on.
We
look
at
look
at
the
operations
and
we
we
determine
what
the
number
of
vehicles
that
would
be
stored
in
those
turn
lanes
and
they're
designed
appropriately,
so
that
they're
not
spilling
back
into
the
main
main
roadway,
and
then
that
signal
would
would
turn
on
to
release
those
left
turns
or
the
u-turns.
I
should
say
to
go.
L
Okay,
I
have,
I
have
a
number
of
residents
who
are
you
know,
friends
of
mine
who
live
in
morningside
meadows
and
deal
with
that
intersection,
they've
dealt
with
it
for
years
and
so
they've
thought
about
different
solutions,
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
a
couple.
Or
can
you
confirm
that
you've
looked
at
synchronizing
the
stop
lights
better
in
all
directions
and
include
the
stop
lights
at
publix
and
druid
road?
You
looked
at
that.
L
Okay,
what
about
eliminating
the
flashing,
yellow
left
turn
arrow
and,
more
importantly,
this
resident
miss
hedrich
suggests
that
we
have
lights.
The
red
lights
hold
in
all
directions,
for
you
know
at
least
she's
suggesting,
like
a
count
of
three
a-
and
that's
probably
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
state
level
or
federal
level
thing.
But
if
you
had
longer
red
lights,
just
solidly
stop
traffic.
G
Go
ahead
and
handle
that
one
actually
about
four
or
five
months
ago,
the
d.o.t,
even
though
the
heads
are
still
at
the
intersection
it.
It
only
does
a
protectively
left
turn,
so
the
flashing
yellow
arrows
aren't
at
the
intersection
anymore,
okay,
they.
It
still
has
the
flexibility
to
do
that.
L
Can
we
extend
that
that
length
of
time
within
all
red.
G
We
have
a
little
flexibility
in
terms
of
how
long
it
is.
We
have
no
flexibility
with
the
the
minimum
length,
that's
pretty
much
based
on
a
calculation
sure
through
the
federal
government
and
state
that
that
we
use
their
equation.
The
problem
with
extending
the
all
red
that
we've
seen
is
the
longer
you
extend
it.
People
learn
the
how
long
it
is
and
they
just
run
the
red
further
into
the
red,
because
they
know
that
it's
not
going
to
turn
green
the
other
direction.
G
So
at
some
point
in
time
it
it
it
becomes.
You
know
if
somebody's
going
to
run,
that
red
light
they're
going
to
run
the
red
light,
and
that
becomes
a
difficulty
in
terms
of
cutting
down
the
amount
of
green
time
for
everybody
else.
G
But
we
do
do
the
minimum
for
the
allred
and
we
can
tweak
it
a
little
bit
and
maybe
add
a
little
bit
more,
but
we
caution
against
going
too
long
just
because,
if
nobody's
moving,
then
everybody
kind
of
gets
the
idea
that
they
can
go.
But
then
all
of
a
sudden
somebody
else
is
starting.
So
it
can
be
a
cause,
its
own
set
of
problems,
to
make
it
too
long.
L
G
We
haven't
specifically
done
anything
about
flashers.
As
we
approached
the
intersection.
We
did
do
a
what
they
call
a
road
safety
audit
about
18
to
24
months
ago,
and
we
implemented
the
short
term
solutions
that
came
out
of
that
study.
G
I
can
go
back
to
the
the
study
and
see
if
there
was
anything
about
putting
advanced
flashers
again
on
the
gulf
to
bay
side.
It
is
a
dot
roadway,
so
we
would
have
to
get
with
them
and
and
discuss
any
opportunities
like
that.
L
H
Yeah,
I
mean
those
those
are
used
many
times
in
rural
locations,
where
you're
trying
to
alert
somebody
that
there's
a
nurse
not
really
used
in
the
urban
environment,
especially
just
due
to
the
noise.
I
mean
that's
24,
7
of
that
noise.
You
know
all
the
time
and
really
what
you're
trying
to
do
when
you
put.
M
M
You
know
I
don't
know
how
long
it
would
take
or
you
know
how
well
people
in
clearwater
will
adapt
to
this.
I
understand
it's
all
about
safety
and
and
whatnot,
but
you
know
the
you
know
that
intersection
is
definitely
a
dangerous
intersection
and
and
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
do
something.
M
You
know
the
to
me.
I
know
it's
a
more
the
more
expensive
option,
but
you
know
with
land
acquisition
or
whatever,
and
you
know,
but
you
know
an
overpass
of
some
sort,
I
think
would
make
it
even
safer,
but
you
know
sometimes
you
know
how
do
you?
How
do
you
put
a
price
on
public
safety?
So
you
know,
but
it's
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
when
the
public
meetings
start,
what
the
what
the
public
input
is.
A
M
G
We
agree
public
input
processes
is
going
to
be
the
valuable
thing
they
do
operate,
this
type
of
intersection.
It's
actually.
We
call
it
a
median
u-turn,
but
it's
it's
often
referred
to
as
the
michigan
u-turn
and
in
michigan.
This
is
a
pretty
standard
operation
for
how
they
do
a
lot
of
their
roadways.
G
You
can
almost
say
that,
and
I
think
I've
heard
the
d.o.t
say
that
this
is
a
way
to
postpone
implementing
that
that
major
reconstruction
of
an
overpass
for
for
many
years
down
the
line,
if
you
implement
one
of
these
innovative
intersections,
the
dot
has
done
several
innovative
intersections.
Although
they
haven't
implemented
a
median
u-turn.
G
They've
done
the
divergent
left
turns
down
in
sarasota
and
there's
several
other
ongoing
projects
where
they're
implementing
these
innovative
type
intersections
and
oftentimes.
What
it
really
deals
with
is
moving
the
left
turns
in
and
in
such
a
way
as
as
you
don't
have
to
provide
them
dedicated
time
within
that
cycle,
and
so
this
moves
them
out
to
the
sides
where
they
can
use
their
own
signal,
and
so
that
saves
that
that
time
at
the
intersection
of
gulf
today
and
belcher
others
do
it
to
where
they
run
simultaneously.
G
So
we'll
take
it
out
to
the
public.
I
mean
you
know.
If,
if
the,
if
what
we
hear
back
is
y'all,
are
crazy
and-
and
we
wouldn't
ever
do
that-
then
that's
what
we'll
bring
back
to
the
board
and
and
move
forward
from
there
with
the
best
solution
that
everybody
can
buy
into.
A
N
Thank
you
mayor,
quick
question
for
ken
and
the
team.
What
how
do
you
communicate
this
to
the
motoring
public
through
your
signage
program
as
you're
approaching
the
intersection.
H
Yeah,
I
can
take
that
that's
an
important
component
and
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up
you
you
we
will
need
to
have
signs
in
advance
of
the
intersection.
Somebody
who
wants
to
make
a
left
turn
will
now
have
to
be
in
the
right
lane.
Right
I
mean
so
they're
going
to
have
to
have
advanced
notice
of
that
and
there's
different
examples.
As
ken
had
mentioned,
they
are
being
done
more
and
more
throughout
the
us.
H
There's
there's
examples
of
them
being
successfully
implemented,
but
signing
is
a
large
component
of
that
and
getting
them
in
the
appropriate
lane.
Are
people
gonna
get
into
the
wrong
lane
and
maybe
have
to
drive
through
the
intersection
and
do
a
u-turn
somewhere
else
sure
when
it
first
opens,
you
would
expect
that,
but,
as
time
goes
on
and
they
get
used
to
the
intersection,
you'll
see
things
improving.
I
always
like
to
say
you
know
no
different
than
a
roundabout
right
when
you
first
introduced
a
roundabout
into
a
community.
H
It's
something
new
something
different
and
will
take
a
little
bit
of
time,
but
overall
you're
going
to
see
some
pretty
significant
improvements
in
operations
and
safety
at
the
intersection.
L
I
was
wondering,
since
the
timeline
is
pretty
spread
out,
as
far
as
I
think
you
had
20,
21,
22
or
whatever
for
resident
input
and
and
stuff
would,
would
there
be
a
possibility
of
you
extending
the
length
of
the
red
lights
and
putting
up
warning
flashers
that
the
light's
going
to
turn
red
like
now,
so
that
when
you're
soliciting
public
input,
you
can
say
to
them?
L
G
We
can
certainly
go
ahead
and
work
with
the
fdot
to
see
what
we
might
be
able
to
to
implement
on
gulf
debay
and
in
the
short
term,
and
I
can
contact
you
and
and
let
you
know
what
we
hear
back
from
them.
There's
potential
that
we
could
put
some
advanced
flashers
out
there.
That
would
basically
indicate
when
the
signal
is
is,
is
going
to
turn
red
or
is
turning
red.
L
I
was
going
to
say
I
saw
it
was
a
landscaping
truck
with
a
trailer.
Just
you
know
come
barreling
through
that
and
by
the
time
the
driver
saw
the
light
turn.
You
know
he
couldn't
put
on
the
brakes
enough
with
the
weight
of
that
trailer
and
went
sailing
through
the
intersection
and
caused
you
know
an
accident.
It
was
you
know
you
just
those
things
happen.
I
think
when
you
don't
get
enough,
you
get
distracted
or
you're,
not
gauging
the
timing
of
the
lights
enough.
O
I'm
going
to
be
watching
the
skies
now,
as
I
talk
to
you,
but
now
I
appreciate
all
the
work
you've
put
into
this.
That
is
a
very
difficult
intersection.
O
When
I
come
out
of
walmart
onto
gulf
bay
north,
I
always
have
to
do
a
a
u-turn
to
go
the
opposite
direction,
so
I'm
a
little
confused
as
to
the
lights
there,
because
in
the
animation
you
had
stop
lights
on
the
other
side
of
the
street,
going
toward
the
beach.
So
when
you're
making
that
loop
into
this
special
turn
lane,
all
the
cars
are
stopped
there.
H
Yeah,
so
I
can
answer
that
so
specifically
coming
out
of
the
walmart
intersection,
where
you
you're,
saying
you're
driving
up
so
it's
northbound
and
then
making
a
right
turn
and
then
doing
a
u-turn
at
the
main
intersection.
So
that
would
that
would
all
stay
the
same.
The
only
difference
is
instead
of
making
a
u-turn
at
the
main
intersection.
You'll
have
to
drive
a
little
further
to
the
east
and
do
the
u-turn
at
the
the
u-turn
intersection.
You
won't
be
able
to
do
it
at
the
main
one.
H
The
the
signalized
intersection
for
for
the
u-turn
in
the
other
direction
would
actually
be
to
the
west
of
that
walmart
driveway
should
be
closer
to
the
beach
is
where
the
u-turn
in
the
opposite
direction
would
be
so
you'll
be
kind
of
in
between
the
two
u-turns
with
with
that
driveway.
O
I
am
a
little
concerned
that
it
is
the
only
intersection
of
its
type
in
the
city,
so
that
might
be
a
little
confusing
and
psychologically
coming
out
and
making
that
turn
when
this
traffic
is
busy
on
golf
today
there
are
many
times
when
I
miss
the
turn,
and
I
have
to
go
down
and
drive
farther
down
and
make
the
u-turn
then,
and
it
always
annoys
the
heck
out
of
me.
So
are
we
going
to
be
annoying
the
heck
out
of
everyone
who
goes
through
there
to
make
a
u-turn
that
I
have
to
go.
K
O
The
way
down
and
come
back
instead
of
just
turning
up
at
the
corner
that
seems
like
it
might
annoy
many
people.
H
Yeah
and
that's
that's
one
of
the
things
with
meeting
u-turns
is
you
are
taking
away
that
easy
left
turn
and
pushing
it
over
the
they're,
not
good
at
every
location.
There
has
to
be
the
right
type
of
traffic
volumes
to
implement
this.
If
you
had
really
really
heavy
left
turning
volume,
this
may
not
be
the
alternative
that
would
be
selected.
H
H
So
it
does
have
the
right
mixture
of
of
turning
movements
to
be
considered
for
this
median
u-turn,
but
you're
right
during
peak
times,
just
as
it
is
today,
it
may
be
hard
to
get
over
into
that
into
that
u-turn.
I
will.
I
will
say
that
we
will
be
stopping
traffic
to
the
west
of
this
driveway
and
you
will
be
only
really
competing
against
the
the
vehicles
that
are
doing
the
u-turn
going
through
there.
H
So
you
might
find
it
a
little
bit
easier
to
get
over
into
that
into
that
u-turn,
lane
or
left
turn
lane
there,
but
as
traffic
volumes
continue
to
increase
and
depending
on
the
time
of
day
right
peak
hour,
compared
to
off-peak,
it's
still
potentially
going
to
be
challenging
to
get
in
and
out.
Just
as
it
is
today.
A
I
can
guarantee
that
you're
going
to
have
people
that
are
not
going
to
like
this.
You
know
we,
we
don't
adapt
all
that
well
around
here
to
change
and
people
just
don't
like
change.
It
doesn't
matter
what
the
issue
is,
whether
it's
dog
parks
or
roundabouts,
or
you
name
it.
If
there's
change
they're,
probably
not
going
to
like
it.
I've
got
a
number
of
questions.
First
of
all,
it
seems
like
there's
going
to
need
to
be
a
lot
of
education.
Should
we
go
through
with
a
plan
like
this,
especially
as
councilmember
hamilton
pointed
out.
A
There's
none
around
here
that
I
have
seen
how
many.
Obviously,
this
concept
came
out
of
michigan,
so
how
many
are
actually
in
use
in
the
michigan
area
or
elsewhere,
so
that
we
we
have
a
track
record
of
success.
H
Yep,
I
don't
know
the
specific
number.
I
know
that
michigan's
been
using
them
since
1960
they're
kind
of
been
dubbed
the
michigan
u-turn,
indiana
georgia,
louisiana
maryland,
I
mean
they're,
you
thought
they're
they're
really
popping
up
all
over
the
place.
So
I
I
understand
it's
the
first
to
florida,
but
it's
not
like
you're
the
first
ones
to
have
it
in
the
u.s
but
yeah.
I
can't
give
you
a
specific
number
as
to
how
many
michigan
has
but
there's
there's
a
there's.
Quite
a
few
of
them.
A
A
That
doesn't
go
through
belcher
and
golf
today,
a
couple
times
a
month.
How
do
you
plan
on
engaging
the
public
with
this
ken?
That
might
be
a
question
for
you
and
how
can
we
help.
G
G
G
So,
yes,
there's,
there's
pluses
and
minuses
we'll
go
through
an
expansive
public
mail
out,
especially
anybody.
That's
that's
impacted
along
gulf
debate
and
belcher.
We'll
probably
put
something
like
virtual
message
boards
out,
as
as
the
the
meeting
approaches,
so
people
can
log
on
to
our
website
and
get
the
details.
G
So,
but
specifics
we
haven't
determined
what
the
the
best
vehicle
is
and
that's
the
next
step
after
after
we
talk
to
you
today
is
we're
gonna,
organize
that,
but
certainly
we'll
we'll
seek
the
city's
help
and
and
and
make
sure
that
the
message
gets
out
to
as
many
people
as
as
we
can.
A
G
I
think
usually
our
our
our
mail
out
is
300
foot
on
either
side
of
the
roadways
they're
affected.
G
So
in
this
case
the
question
is:
is
more
linear
how
far
down
gulf
today,
how
far
north
south
on
belcher
do
you
go?
That's
that's
really.
The
bigger
discussion
so
we'll
have
to
determine
that
and
if
you
have
any
input
into
that,
please
let
us
know.
D
A
They'll
all
be
affected,
you
know
in
your
presentation.
It
talks
about
acquisition,
so
we
don't
have
all
of
the
land
that
would
be
needed
for
those
u-turns.
I'm
assuming
and
have
you
looked
at.
Those
is
that
land
available
that's
a
very
constrained
quarter
as
far
as
property,
and
would
you
use
eminent
domain
if
need
be.
E
E
A
Yeah
the
southern
u-turn,
which
is
west
of
belcher,
looks
like
it's
at
you
know
the
lincoln
dealership
right,
but
the
eastern,
the
northeastern
one,
I
believe,
is
adjacent
to
the
mobile
home
park.
H
It
is
yep,
it's
currently
being
shown
just
a
little
bit
to
the
east
of
there
and
there's
a
strip
mall
in
there
right
now.
I
think
there's
a
smoke
shop
and
right
restaurant
in
there
that
that
would
that
would
require
the
acquisition
of
that
strip.
Mall.
G
Okay,
that
really
comes
down
to
the
the
details
of
design,
and
so
we
don't
know
exactly
where
those
locations
are
today.
Once
we
get
through
the
public
input
process
and
the
approval,
then
we'll
go
into
that
much
more
detailed
design
level
and
how
long
those
left
turns
need
to
be
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
spill
back
through
the
intersection
and
that'll
lead
us
to
where
that
right-of-way
need
is
actually
going
to
be.
A
Yeah,
I
think
the
great
now
there
would
be
a
lot
of
u-turns
either
way.
I
would
be
interested
in
one
of
the
questions
councilmember
beck
then
raised,
which
is
how
much
room
there
is
for
stacking
both
ways.
You
know
we
also
have
a
problem
just
with
pedestrian
behavior
at
that
intersection.
A
Unfortunately,
we
have
people
that
cross
mid
street
rather
than
going
to
a
signalized
intersection,
which
is
only
about
another
100
feet.
A
My
only
other
concern
is,
you
know,
atms
and
its
I'm
not
always
thrilled
with
the
way
it
works
on
golf
today
you
can
go
the
speed
limit
and
catch
every
single
light,
and
so
I
am
concerned
that
we'll
get
all
of
the
timing
correct
at
the
intersection
for
the
u-turns
and
the
throughput
and
everything
else.
So
I
know
that's
something
you
can't
answer
right
now,
but
I
really
it's
something:
I'm
going
to
ask
for
a
presentation
down
the
road,
because
I
don't
think
the
atms
is
always
working
on
golf
today.
Very
well.
A
That's
more
of
an
editorial
comment,
ken
I
was
here
when
we
turned
it
all
over
to
the
county
years
ago,
and
sometimes
I
this
isn't
pointed
directly
to
you,
but
I
regret
that
decision.
So
any
other
questions.
A
Q
Approved
to
exceed
increase
of
125
000
to

for
amendment
one
to
the
agreement
dated
april
17
2019
between
no
cop
and
hilltop
and
caa
icon
are
proving
not
to
exceed
administrative
feed,
increase
the
five
thousand
dollars
to
help
up
for
the
agreement
between
hilltop
and
city,
bringing
their
total
contract
total
for
contract
number
962
to
188
thousand
fifty
nine
dollars
and
seventeen
cents
and
authorize
the
appropriate
officials.
R
Good
morning,
mayor
council,
jim
hallios
assistant
to
the
city
manager,
as
the
manager
stated,
the
item
before
you
is
a
increase
to
the
contract
amount
with
hilltop
securities
for
consulting
and
advisement
services
with
c
a
a
icon
in
may
of
2019
staff
approached
ca
icon
to
perform
a
comparative
market
analysis
of
spring
training,
leases
and
agreements
throughout
the
state
of
florida
in
the
grapefruit
league.
R
Subsequently,
after
that
analysis
was
performed
due
to
covid
and
some
issues
we've
had
as
far
as
needs
from
the
county.
As
far
as
information
we've
had
a
bit
of
a
hiatus
going
forward
with
our
negotiations,
now
we're
looking
to
pick
that
back
up
and
we
feel
that
engaging
with
ca
icon
will
allow
us
to
have
an
independent
third
party
assist
us
in
these
negotiations
and
review
of
our
lease
with
the
state,
the
phillies
and
the
county.
That
provides
a
level
of
expertise
and
knowledge
that
that
we
currently
don't
have.
R
So
we
feel
that
that
will
fill
those
gaps,
I'm
the
amount
as
quoted,
which
was
188
thousand
dollars
current.
The
needs
assessment
was
50
000,
so
this
would
be
added
to
that
original
contract.
Of
the
fifty
thousand
dollars
with
a
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
not
to
exceed
currently
the
retainer,
is
it's
a
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
a
month?
So
we
have
some
flexibility
built
in
there
should
that
be
elongated
after
the
period
with
the
negotiations,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
L
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
again,
and
this
is
for
public
edification
is
that
we
had.
You
know
an
extensive
meeting
to
get
briefed
on
this,
and-
and
I
certainly
am
in
favor-
of
having
a
third
party-
look
over
the
contracts
and
compare
them
with
comparable
cities
and
teams
and
and
make
recommendations
with
their
expertise.
So
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
in
light
of
the
length
of
the
contracts
that
we
get
involved
with.
A
I
think
this
is
necessary.
The
landscape
has
changed
pretty
drastically
in
these
deals,
and
it's
good
to
have
somebody
that
has
looked
at
multiple
deals
to
make
certain
that
we
get
the
most
competitive
one
for
the
city
of
clearwater
and
our
citizens.
We
certainly
value
the
74-year
relationship,
but
I
also
think
we
need
to
do
our
due
diligence
and
I
think
these
folks
can
help
us
do
it
so
consent.
N
Mayor
council,
michael
delk
assistant
city
manager,
based
on
our
conversation
last
week,
we
wanted
to
ask
you
to
on
thursday
night
to
affirm
a
recommendation
to
close
the
library
for
construction.
N
Just
to
summarize,
what
we've
been
told
by
skanska
this
project,
which
is
getting
ready
to
commence
in
october
of
this
year,
is
to
conclude
in
november,
are
thereabouts
of
2021..
N
The
skanska
team
has
indicated
to
us
that
they
can
move
this
project
along
saving
about
four
months
of
time
and
an
estimate
of
cost
somewhere
just
under
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
if
they
can
accomplish
this
project
really
in
a
in
kind
of
a
one
phase,
rather
than
dividing
up
the
bottom
floor
to
two
different
projects.
N
After
talking
with
the
our
department
director,
librarian
jen
obermeyer,
I
think,
with
the
impact
on
the
customer
service
experience
and
programming
and
other
matters
related
to
having
a
major
construction
ongoing
at
the
library
and
trying
to
work
through
that.
Her
recommendation
and
feeling
is
that
the
time
and
money
saved
in
this
case
would
be
well
spent
in
order
to
move
that
project
along
on
a
on
a
faster
timeline.
And,
of
course,
you
know
saving
the
dollars
involved
in
that
is
beneficial
to
us
as
well.
N
So
with
that,
I
will
try
to
answer
any
questions.
I
think
jen
and
someone
from
engineering
is
here.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
that
side
of
the
the
process,
but
otherwise
we
would
be
respectfully
requesting,
on
thursday
night
an
affirmation
of
our
ability
to
close
the
library
and
move
this
project
along
a
little
bit
quicker.
Thank
you.
S
N
D
T
D
N
N
L
I
I
too,
like
the
idea
of
speeding
up
the
project
and
saving
close
to
a
half
a
million
dollars.
I
think
that's
all
good.
I
was
fairly
assured
in
my
meeting
with
michael
delk
that
our
library
director
said
that
people
working
at
the
main
library
would
be
able
to
find
hours
or
wouldn't
their
jobs
wouldn't
be
affected.
L
We
could
maybe
extend
hours
at
other
library
locations.
So
that's
good,
but
my
concern
is
you
know.
We
have
a
significant
homeless
population
that
utilizes
that
library
every
single
day
that
it's
open
and-
and
I
think
we
need
to
if
we're
going-
to
be
roping
off
coachman
park,
to
lay
infrastructure
and
we're
going
to
be
closing
this
library
to
remodel
the
first
floor.
L
That's
all
fantastic,
but
the
reality
is
that
there
are
70
plus
chronic
homeless
that
congregate
downtown,
and
I
think
we
need
to
as
a
city
think
about
how
we're
going
to
deal
with
that.
Because
I
don't,
I
don't
think
you
know
our
businesses
want
them
spilling
up
onto
the
front
of
their
business
or
or
back
of
it.
But
it's
it's
a
reality,
and
so
it's
something
that
we
have
to.
We
have
to
talk.
Q
About
yes,
please,
council,
member
beckman,
I
I.
A
Q
What
you
just
described
is
great
motivation
for
our
homeless
population
to
consider
other
alternatives
than
staying
in
the
downtown
that
there
are
other
services
that
are
available
for
them
to
could
seriously
consider.
Q
But,
but
I
I
think
we
just
have
to
be
very
vigilant
about
moving
forward
with
what
we're
doing
and
and
understanding
the
impacts
to
the
homeless.
It's
not
as
if
they
don't
have
options.
They
really
do
have
options.
D
L
Well,
I
I'm
I
mean
that
I
know
they
have
options,
they,
they
do
have
options
and
they
choose
not
to
utilize
them,
for
whatever
reasons
they,
whether
it's
mental
health
issues
or
there's
so
much
complexity,
and
I
know
that
we
don't
have
enough
funds
in
social
services,
and
so
the
reality
is
whether
we
say
we're
going
to
have
a
bus
to
take
you
out
to
you
know
these
different
shelters
if
they
refuse
to
get
on
those
buses
or
whatever.
A
We
are
always
going
to
have
the
hardcore
homeless
with
us.
I
think
we've
seen
a
lot
of
email
traffic.
It
is
difficult
if
there
are
citizens
watching,
they
need
to
understand
that
there
are
constitutional
constraints
on
what
we
can
do
and
we
try
to
provide
services
but
not
necessarily
attract
more
homeless.
A
A
I
get
homeless
wandering
into
our
neighborhood
and
unfortunately,
they
behavior
is
not
good,
but
we
all
have
to
do
it
within
a
framework.
So
I
ask
citizens
if
they
see
homeless,
doing
something
that
they
know
is
against
the
law.
They
need
to
call
our
police.
That
is
what
the
police
are
there
for
is
enforcement,
and
the
more
that
we
get
the
message
to
our
hardcore
homeless
that
certain
behaviors
are
unacceptable.
A
The
better
off
we're
gonna
be,
but
this
has
been
a
problem
as
long
as
I've
been
in
clear
water
and
I
unfortunately
don't
think
it's
going
away.
We
just
have
to
continue
to
manage
things.
Council,
member
hamilton.
M
My
understanding
is
this
agenda
item
is
to
provide
the
direction
so
is
there
I
mean
I'm
fine
with
closing
down
the
library
to
do
it
all
at
one
time
to
save
time
and
money,
so
is
that
the
direction
you're
looking
for
michael.
A
O
Yes,
I
do
think
we
should
at
some
point
talk
about
the
homeless
situation,
of
course,
and
there
is
a
company
out
of
texas
that
can
3d
print
homes
for
about
three
three
thousand
dollars
each.
We
might
consider
a
a
project
like
that
at
some
point.

A
Q
Seven
final

rate
of
five

nine

for
fiscal

The
enterprise
funds,
which
total
12.7
million
dollars,
include
the
budget
for
operations
of
the
beach
marina
air
park,
clearwater,
harbor,
marina
and
parking
fund.
This
is
budgeted
a
3
percent
increase
over
the

include
the
budget
for
information
technology,
utility
customer
service
building
and
maintenance
fleet
and
radio
communications
and
the
central
insurance
fund.
These
funds
total
64.4
million
dollars,
which
is
a
one
percent
decrease
from
the
current
year's
budget.
U
The
special
revenue
funds,
which
total
19.4
million,
reflected
34
decrease
in
comparison
to
the
current
year's
amended
budget,
and
this
decreases
primarily
due
to
amendments
in
the
current
year,
which
have
increased
the
special
program
fund
budget
and
the
capital
improvement
fund
budget
of
almost
100.5
million.
I'm
sorry,
just
over
100.5
million
reflect
an
increase
of
four
percent
from
the
fiscal
year.
20
amended
budget
this
chart
represents
the
change
in
taxable
property
values
over
the
last
11
years.
Keep
in
mind
that
property
valuation
for
this
year
is
based
on
values.
U
Our
revenues
are
generated
by
assessing
a
millage
rate
on
taxable
property
value.
A
mill
is
the
property
tax
levy
of
one
dollar
per
one
thousand
dollars
of
taxable
property
value.
The
proposed
millage
rate
of
five
point:
nine
five
zero
mills
is
recommended
by
the
city
manager
for
the
fiscal
year
2021
budget.
This
is
the
same
rate
as
levied
in
the
current
year
due
to
value
growth.
U
U
Using
the
proposed
millage
rate
property
tax
revenues
are
projected
to
be
71.9
million
in
fiscal
year
21..
This
represents
an
increase
of

V
Thank
you
chuck
lane
economic
development
housing
department.
As
you
all
know,
we
are
the
recipients
of
funds
from
the
state
housing
initiative
partnership
program,
the
acronym,
of
course,
ship
we're
required
to
submit
annual
reports
by
september
15th
of
each
year.
We
have
three
years
to
expend
ship
funds
from
the
start
of
each
program
year.
The
state
allows
us
to
keep
three
books
open
three:
keep
the
books
open
on
three
program
years
because
of
the
set-asides
we're
required
to
meet.
V
We
call
these
set-asides
buckets
that
we
need
to
fill
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
we're
required
to
use
65
of
the
funds
for
home
ownership.
75
percent
of
the
funds
for
construction,
which
includes
rehabilitation,
30
percent
of
the
funds
for
very
low
income,
households,
30
for
low
income
and
20
of
the
funding
needs
to
be
used
for
households
with
special
needs.
V
It
can
be
difficult
to
fill
all
these
buckets
in
a
given
year,
so
the
state
allows
us
to
transfer
expenses
from
one
open
year
to
another.
The
report
is
primarily
focused
on
the
closeout
year.
The
report
the
report
includes
1819
1920
and
the
closeout
year
1718..
V
So,
for
the
close-out
year
our
ship
allocation
was
482
265
and
we
had
an
additional
three
hundred
and
thirty
eight
thousand
one
hundred
eighteen
dollars
in
program
income.
We
spent
seven
hundred
sixty
three
thousand
nine
hundred
two
dollars
on
housing
strategies
which
leveraged
sixteen
point:
five
million
dollars
in
other
investment.
V
We
spent
additional
funds
on
home
buyer
education,
general
program
administration.
Much
of
the
763
902
will
eventually
come
back
to
us
in
the
form
of
program
income
because
we
do
so
much
of
our
housing
business
in
the
form
of
loans.
We're
able
to
help
several
people,
many
people
over
the
years,
with
the
same
money.
V
As
for
our
results
in
the
closeout
year,
the
city
assisted
18,
households,
five
down
payment
assistance,
loans,
four
homeowner
rehabilitation,
loans,
two
multi-family
rehabilitation
loans,
two
new
single-family
homes
and
new
construction
of
four
multi-family
units,
we're
in
good
shape
with
our
interim
years.
Most
of
what
is
available
in
1819
and
1920
is
either
spent
or
encumbered
and,
as
you
know,
the
ship
allocation
for
2021
will
be
zero
due
to
the
governor's
line
item
veto
with
the
statewide
formula
distribution
in
response
to
expected
revenue
shortfalls
from
coven
19.
V
prior
to
the
veto.
Prior
to
the
veto,
we
were
scheduled
to
receive
our
highest
allocation
in
our
city's
history.
Just
shy
of
1.25
million
dollars
following
council
council
approval
we'll
submit
the
report
to
the
state
I'll.
Take
any
questions
at
this
time.
D
L
Hi,
mr
lane,
I
always
like
learning
from
you.
I
have
a
question
about
the
unit,
so
I
I
understand
this
is
from
1718,
but
on
the
units
for
rentals
it
says
multifamily,
rehab
and
multifamily.
New
construction
are
those
like
duplexes
triplexes
things
like
that.
V
Yeah
the
multi-family
rehab,
I
believe
that
may
have
been.
I
think
that
was
abilities
that
morning
style,
okay,
that
was
the
rehab.
I
think
the
the
new
construction
was
associated
with
the
tax
credit
project.
I
think
woodlawn
trail
project
like
that.
We
fund
only
a
certain
amount
of
units,
although
it
does
leverage
other
money
to
build
the
entire
project
out.
L
Okay
and
then
on
the
on
page
two-
and
you
mentioned
it
at
the
beginning
of
your
statement
today
about
under
our
source
of
funds.
So
it's
easy
to
understand:
state
annual
distribution
of
482,
000
plus
and
then
program
interest.
I
guess
that's
the
money
that
we
haven't
spent
and
we've
earned
interest
on
it.
Is
that
correct.
L
That's
what
I
didn't
understand
so
the
program
income
is
repayment
of
loans
from
people
who
are
giving
us
back
the
money
that
we've
loaned
them.
Okay
and
then
I
guess
I
just
have
one
last
question:
oh
yeah
is
under
right
under
that
under
form.
Two
is
rental
unit
information
and
you
have
all
these
numbers
like
extremely
low
income,
very
low
income
efficiency.
One
bedroom
two
bedroom
are
those
the
number
of
units
we
have
or
is
that
you
know
what?
What
are
those
numbers
there.
L
Rental
rates,
okay,
all
right,
all
right!
Okay,
I
think
that's
all
I've
got.
I
had
nope,
I'm
that's
good!
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Questions,
mr
lane,
do
you
see
the
landscape
changing
at
all?
I
mean
it's
always
hard
to
predict
what
the
state
is
going
to
do
with
the
sadaski
trust
fund
ship,
but
I
mean:
are
you
seeing
any
it's
a
tough
time
to
finance
anything?
Is
the
landscape
changing
at
all
with
some
of
the
affordable
projects
around
the
region?
Is
there
anything
we
could
be
doing?
V
Well,
it's
a
great
question.
We
were
very
encouraged
by
sadowsky
act
being
fully
funded
going
into
session
we're
coming
out
of
session,
with,
of
course,
all
that
change.
What
we're
going
to
be
doing-
and
I
believe,
next
meeting
I'll
be
bringing
an
item
forward
where
we
assemble
an
affordable
housing
advisory
committee.
V
It's
something
we
do
every
three
years
out
in
front
of
our
local
housing
assistance
plan,
which
is
due
next
year
and
that
local
housing
that
affordable
housing
advisory
committee
looks
at
our
policies,
our
land
use
policies,
our
land
planning
policies
and
it
looks
for
ways
to
incentivize,
affordable
housing,
facilitate
development
of
affordable
housing.
So
it's
it's
something
I
think
in
the
context
of
what
we're
going
through,
I
think
it'll.
V
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
very
good
and
timely
exercise
for
us,
so
we
should
get
some
good
recommendations
out
of
that
committee.
The
the
out
of
session
this
year,
the
law
changed.
We
have
to
convene
this
committee
every
year
now
and
you'll
find
next
week
that
also
we're
also
required
to
appoint
an
elected
official
on
that
committee,
which
something
we
haven't
done
before.
W
Good
morning,
monica
mitchell
assistant
finance
director.
This
agenda
item
is
for
the
approval
of
a
five-year
contract
with
car
rigs
ingram
llc,
to
perform
the
city's
annual
audit
of
the
financial
statements
for
the
fiscal
years
ending
september
30th
2020
through
september
30th
2024,
the
firm
was
chosen
in
accordance
with
the
auditor
selection
procedures
outlined
in
chapter
218.391
florida
statutes.
The
auditor
selection
committee,
composed
of
mayor
hibbard
and
two
residents
was
appointed
by
council.
W
In
addition
to
being
a
highly
recommended
and
widely
recognized
practice.
Auditor
rotation
is
mandatory
for
the
city
of
clearwater,
because
our
charter
prohibits
an
auditor
from
serving
more
than
five
consecutive
years.
For
this
reason,
sherry
becker,
the
incumbent
auditor
was
not
eligible
to
submit
a
proposal.
W
Car
riggs
and
ingram
emerged
as
the
top
candidate,
and
is
the
auditor
selection
committee's
recommendation
to
you
today,
although
this
audit
will
be
conducted
largely
on
a
remote
basis.
For
the
most
part,
the
firm
does
have
an
audit,
an
office
in
the
bank
of
america,
building
at
600
cleveland
street
in
downtown
clearwater.
Can
I
answer
any
questions.
A
I
really
feel
compelled
to
tell
everyone
I
feel
comfortable
with
car
rigs.
They
are
obviously
local
being
a
couple
floors
above
the
city.
A
We
did
have
a
lot
of
good
applicants
for
this,
and
I
really
want
to
thank
mr
mclaughlin
and
miss
burley
for
taking
the
time
to
be
a
part
of
this
search
committee,
because,
as
you
can
imagine,
the
proposals
were
fairly
large
and
for
them
to
go
through
all
of
the
information
and
impart
their
wisdom
from
an
audit
side
was
very
beneficial.

Q
B
Langell
good
morning,
brian
lane,
gittle
assistant
director
for
clearwater
gas
system,
this
is
a
gas
utility
easement
that
is
located
on
the
northwest
corner
of
u.s
highway
19
and
tarpon
avenue
up
in
tarpon
springs.
This
easement
is
to
install
gas
mains
and
facilities
to
serve
a
customer
commercial
customer
there.
B
This
specific
easement
is
a
little
different
in
that
we're
asking
you
to
approve
it
versus
accept
it,
because
there
was
a
added
language
into
the
easement
document
on
section
9
which
identifies
the
owner,
but
this
does
not
waive
our
statutory
limitations
of
liability
under
768.28.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
this
item.
Any
questions.
B
Series
again,
this
is
an
extended
warranty
for
the
new
air
conditioning
units
that
we
have
at
our
new
complex
on
at
777
maple
street.
In
clearwater
we
did
an
initial
preventative
maintenance
agreement
for
one
year
the
amount
of
forty
six
thousand
two
hundred
dollars
to
maintain
these,
and
after
talking
with
the
city,
building
and
maintenance
department,
they
recommended
that
we
continue
this
for
the
full
ten
years
of
the
building
after
the
building's
been
constructed
and
we've
moved
into
it.
B
A
X
B
The
the
warranty
is
very
minimal.
You
know
when
we
purchased
and
installed
them.
You
know
it
did
not
really
include
any
of
the
engine.
Maintenance,
preventive
maintenance
items,
so
this
this
agreement
here
covers
all
those
oil
changes
that
are
needed.
You
know
a
traditional
electric
air
conditioning
system
doesn't
have
all
the
moving
parts
that
the
natural
gas
engine
driven
ones
do
have
so
so
there
are
more
items
that
are
not
covered
in
in
the
initial
warranty
on
on
the
equipment.
Unfortunately,.
A
B
B
On
that
you
know,
the
purchase
price
was
about
360
000,
but
typically
it's
around
180
000
for
an
equivalent
electric
chiller
purchase.
So
we'll
have
several
years
where
we
have
to.
You
know
we'll
see
savings
on
the
operational
costs,
but
it'll
take
about
six
years
to
have
that.
You
know
break-even
point
so.
B
B
B
To
me
so
the
warranty
yes,
the
warranty
is
more
than
the
initial
purchase
of
the
equipment.
We
did
get
a
cost
comparison
on
doing
a
10
year,
warranty
for
an
equivalent
electric
unit
and
that
cost
was
coming
in
at
around
390
000
to
cover
an
electric
three
electric
units
that
initially
you
know,
cost
us
180
000.
So
even
even
those
units,
even
if
we
went
electric
the
cost
to
maintain
those
to
do
the
preventative
maintenance
and
have
that
buffer
to
buffer
warranty
was
going
to
cost
more
than
the
actual
units.
B
Self-Insurance
on
this
well,
we
go.
We
really
go
behind
the
direction
of
the
building
and
maintenance
department
as
far
as
what
they
are
requesting
for
you
know
for
warranties
on
this.
Here
you
know
we
had.
I
will
say,
20
years
ago
we
had
gas
engine
driven
systems
at
our
old
facility,
and
the
issue
that
we
had
was
is
that
the
units
were
not.
B
The
unit
was
not
running
properly
because
we
weren't
doing
we
didn't
have
that
preventative
maintenance
agreement
in
place
to
you
know
cover
all
those
costs
so,
and
we
talked
with
other
utilities
that
had
these
same
units
and
city
of
sunrise
is
one
of
them
and
they
have
the
preventive
maintenance
on
their
one
and
they've
been
very
happy
with
it.
So
we
do
realize
it
is
a
it's
a
pretty
hefty
cost,
but
at
the
same
time
we
do
not
want
to
have
an
unreliable
system.
B
B
Well,
we
are
the
natural
gas
utilities,
so
we
want
to,
you,
know,
promote
natural
gas
and
then
any
opportunities
for
our
customers
to
use
the
same
equipment
like
I
said,
a
customer
might
purchase
these
equipment,
but
they
may
not
go
with
a
10-year
warranty
on
it.
Like
this,
the
extended
warranty
us
being
the
natural
gas
utility.
We
do
not
want
to
hire.
Somebody
on
staff
to
you
know,
do
the
maintenance
on
that
on
a
monthly
basis.
D
L
Yeah
there
are
a
couple
things.
First
of
all,
I
think
your
question
is
telling
in
that
is
this
an
allegiance
to
natural
gas
and
when
we
are
owning?
If
we
have
you
know
this,
this
utility,
a
gas
company
associated
with
the
city,
we
may
feel
obligated
to
promote
it
and
use
it
and
purchase
things
that
use
natural
gas
when
they
don't
make
good
financial
sense
and-
and
let
me
tell
you
the
operating
cost.
L
If
you
had
electric
air
conditioning
units
in
there
and
solar
on
the
roof,
your
operating
cost
would
be
way
minimized
and
we'd
be
saving
the
city
money.
The
other
thing,
I
would
say
is:
if
we're
going
to
have
this
warranty
cost
of
you
know
a
half
a
million
dollars
or
whatever
that
needs
to
be
brought
up.
When
we
decide
if
we're
going
to
purchase
the
thing,
especially
when
you
said
we
had
gas
systems
for
cooling
a
number
of
years
ago,
but
they
weren't
running
properly
because
they
needed
preventative
maintenance.
L
You
know
costs
well,
then
we
must
have
known
that
we
needed
this
big,
long,
extensive
warranty,
and
so
that
should
have
been
brought
up
when
somebody
agreed
to
to
have
a
gas
powered
air
conditioner
in
that
building.
I
would
think
now:
we've
got
it
in
there
and
it's
like
okay.
Now
we
need
to
pay.
You
know
all
this
money
for
warranties
and-
and
we
can't
say
no-
I
don't
think
so-
well
they're
there
and
and
it's
to
me
it
doesn't
seem
like
wise
financial
decisions.
Y
Yeah
reading,
through
the
the
service
agreement
I
mean
what
we're
talking
about,
basically
is
a
chiller.
These
aren't
normal,
like
air
conditioning
units
to
go
in
a
house
and
like
I'm
a
little
familiar
with
this
because
of
through
mike,
I
was
just
I
had
in
charge
of
keeping
up
with
our
chillers.
You
know:
chillers
are
commercial
units
that
use
wall
for
cooling,
the
air
and
we
always
spend
a
lot
of
money
on
on.
Y
I
mean
it
preventative
maintenance,
not
just
because
the
unit
is
gonna
break,
but
chillers
they're
complicated,
and
even
if
they
were
electric,
we
didn't
have
gas
chillers
in
our
church,
but
the
machines
that
run
it
are
gas,
but
the
chiller
system
is
you
know
that
part
of
it
doesn't
have
anything
really
to
do
with
gas,
it's
water
and
pumps
and
everything.
So
you
know
looking
through
this.
It
doesn't
look
too
different
than
what
we
spent
in
our
facility
to
cool
our
whole
facility
at
our
church.
Y
M
I
think
that
answers
my
question
right
there
does
this.
This
isn't
just
a
preventive
maintenance
where
they
come
in
and
and
make
sure
it's
working
properly,
but
if
it
breaks
does
this
include
replacement
parts
and
and
and
and
everything
necessary
to
keep
it
running.
B
Yes,
it
does
for
the
compressor
and
the
engine,
that's
part
of
the
assembly
that
we
we
purchased
from
them
it.
You
know
it
doesn't
necessarily
cover.
It
doesn't
cover
the
air
handler
units
inside
the
building,
but
it
covers
the
equipment
that
we
purchase
from.
So
if
it
breaks,
then
we
are,
you
know,
we're
not
paying
anything
out
of
pocket
to
cover
those
expenses
on
there.
Okay,
that's
that's
the
reason
why
it's
it's
so
expensive
and
and
the
same
thing
would
be
with
the
ultimate
unit.
B
You
would
see
that
same.
You
know
percent
increase
with
an
electric
unit,
it's
going
to
cost
more
than
the
actual
initial
purchase
of
the
equipment
to
have
that
10
years.
A
Q
Z
Okay,
just
a
little
background
on
our
current
plan,
the
medical
plan
is
self-funded
and
the
city
pays
claims.
Sorry,
our
medical
plan
is
self-funded
and
it's
and
we
pay
claims
when
the
when
the
plan
is
used.
The
city
cost
trends
are
have
an
average
of
1.8
increase
over
the
past
five
years,
which
is
lower
than
the
national
average
of
six
percent
and
the
florida
average,
which
is
two
to
three
percent
higher
than
the
national
average.
So
we're
actually
doing
very
well
on
our
costs.
Z
For
plan
year,
twenty
one
we're
proposing
a
zero
percent
increase
for
our
self-funded
plan,
and
this
is
due
to
covid19
the
city's
benefit
committee.
Unanimous
unanimously
voted
to
renew
a
at
a
zero
percent
increase
at
the
75
68
contribution
scenario
for
dependent
coverage.
Z
This
is
our
current
budget
for
the
renewal.
We
do
have
a
separate
item
for
the
employee
health
center,
but
I've
included
in
the
presentation
because
they're
very
much
integrated
our
cost
drivers
for
2019.
We
had
62
catastrophic
claims
that
accounted
for
45
of
our
medical
claims.
Cost
85
of
those
catastrophic
claims
were
associated
with
a
chronic
condition
such
as
high
blood
pressure,
diabetes,
high
cholesterol
and
obesity.
Z
Our
current
cancer
is
our
current
cost
driver
with
the
highest
catastrophic
claims
followed
by
diabetes
and
heart
disease
and
stroke.
Diabetes
has
our
highest
overall
pharmaceutical
spend
for
2020.
35
percent
of
our
members
have
identified
as
having
a
chronic
health
condition
and
drive.
76
of
our
plan
spent.
Z
Several
of
the
high
dollar
claims
experienced
could
have
been
prevented
or
lessened
had
the
conditions
been
detected
at
an
earlier
stage.
We
will
continue
to
promote
our
wellness
initiative
in
order
to
combat
chronic
conditions
and
incentivize
participation
in
personal
wellness
activities,
which
leads
me
to
our
motivate
me
program.
Z
2021
will
be
our
second
year
participating
in
the
motivate
me
wellness
plan.
The
program
includes
wellness
screenings
and
preventative
care
visits
that
target
our
current
cost
drivers.
Most
of
the
wellness
screenings
can
be
done
at
our
employee
health
center.
The
program
is
available
to
all
employees
and
retirees
that
participate
in
our
medical
plan
and
they
can
earn
up
to
200
in
incentive
rewards
annually.
Z
Z
Z
We
continue
to
see
our
employee
penetration
increase
at
the
employee
health
center
year
over
year
and
continue
to
receive
satisfaction
rates
above
95
percent.
We
continue
to
experience
annual
savings
and
return
on
investment
on
our
medical
plan
by
shifting
costs
through
our
health
center.
The
savings
are
realized
through
network
replacement,
lab
replacement,
drug
brand
avoidance,
as
well
as
flu
shot
replacement.
A
You're
right,
I
am
muted.
After
my
sneeze
I
decided
to
mute.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
council.
M
Not
a
question
as
much
as
a
comment
here,
but
this
you,
you
know
you
can't
ask
for
a
better
recommendation
than
this
in
a
better
situation
than
this,
and
I
wish
it
could
apply
to
small
business
insurance
for
their
employees,
because
I
can
promise
you.
I
know
one
company,
that's
not
having
have.
I
know
one
company,
that's
not
having
a
zero
percent
increase
in
their
insurance
premiums.
A
This
certainly
wasn't
the
way
it
used
to
be
when
we
had
29
and
30
increases
in
a
given
year.
It
was
very
tough
to
to
deal
with
so,
as
you
said,
it's
a
welcome
report.
Thank
you.

D
A
Q
K
J
Governing
mayor
council
members,
art
cater
interim
parks
and
recreation
director,
the
item
before
you
today
has
to
deal
with
one
of
our
smaller
neighborhood
parks
valencia
park.
It's
located
on
hercules,
avenue
just
north
of
montclair
as
most
of
our
neighborhood
parks.
They
have
two
tennis
courts,
there,
a
basketball
court,
small
parking
lot
and
then
there's
a
small
tot
lot.
That's
on
this
park.
We
have
it's
actually
one
of
our
older
parks.
It's
over
40,
probably
42,
43
years
old.
J
It
was
one
of
the
first
parts
that
would
develop
from
the
10
percent
requirement
from
developers
back
then
that
they
actually
developed
a
part
for
the
development
there
at
valencia
park,
we've
maintained
it
through
the
years.
However,
the
tennis
courts
are
such
that
they
cannot
be
resurfaced
again
or
repaired.
Therefore,
this
contract
is
for
the
removal
of
the
tennis
courts
and
replacement
with
new
tennis
courts
as
well
as
site
work.
That's
needed
to
prepare
for
a
playground.
J
There
is
a
top
playground,
but
that
is
simply
for
children
four
years
of
age
and
under,
and
there
is
a
need
in
this
community
for
a
playground
for
children
five
to
twelve.
So
we
will
be
preparing
that
for
children
of
that
age
with
that,
if
you
have
any
questions,
be
happy
to
answer
them.
M
J
They
are
lit
now
we
have
basically
turned
back
all
the
lights
on
the
tennis
courts
that
we
have
yes,
okay,.
M
D
AA
D
A
Park
also
services
a
lot
of
the
county
area
as
well.
That's
fine
we're
happy
to
cooperate,
but
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
there's
a
lot
of
county
to
the
north
of
this
park
so
consent
all
right.
9.2.
AA
Good
morning,
mayor
and
city
council,
chris
cook,
senior
manager
of
events
and
athletics
for
the
parks
and
recreation
department.
Back
in
february
of
this
year,
council
approved
a
host
venue
agreement
to
host
a
rock
and
roll
marathon
series
that
was
to
take
place
starting
this
october.
Obviously,
in
light
of
the
pandemic
that
we've
been
facing,
we've
started
to
think
of
creative
solutions
along
with
next
year's
impending
project
for
the
imagine
clearwater
project.
AA
The
discussion
then
moved
to.
How
can
we
make
best
use
of
this
and
and
that's
what
is
for
you
today,
which
is
to
effectively
take
years
one
and
two
and
add
them
to
the
end
of
the
contract?
So
we
would
be
just
changing
the
dates.
All
the
other
terms,
for
the
agreement
stay
the
same.
AA
L
I
was
just
going
to
make
a
comment.
I
I've
participated
in
a
number
of
rock
and
roll
marathon
runs
and
they're
very
well
run
and
attended,
and
I
thought
it
was
exciting
that
it's
going
to
be
coming
here.
We'll
just
have
to
wait
a
little
bit
longer.
D
Q
Thirty
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
eight
dollars
and
seventeen
cents
for
four
hundred
and
two
thousand
nine
hundred
forty
to
736
thousand
dollars,
36
056
dollars,
17
cents
and
authorize
the
appropriate
officials
to
execute
saying
mr
brown.
AB
Good
morning
my
name
is
jeremy
brown.
I'm
the
engineering
manager
for
utilities,
pinellas
county
is
constructing
stormwater
improvements
along
sunset
point
road
from
douglas
avenue
to
kings
highway
during
construction.
There
were
some
unknown
conflicts
that
were
identified
this
first
amendment
before
you
increases
the
overall
construction
budget
to
include
those
unknown
conflicts.
M
This,
since
this
is
a
joint
project
between
us
and
the
county,
this
is
the
total
amount
for
the
change
to
the
project,
but
not
the
this.
The
or
are
these
the
dollars
that
clearwater
is
responsible
for
solely.
AB
P
AB
Yeah
yeah,
I
don't
know
the
exact
number
that
the
for
the
overall
project,
but
it's
been
that
road's
been
closed
for
some
time.
So
it's
it's.
A
AB
Well,
what
the
the
conflict
was:
a
16-inch
water
main,
which
is
a
pretty
substantially
well
pretty
large
water
need,
and
it
the
conflict
was
with
their
storm
water
box
and
sewer
culvert
rather,
and
so
we
originally
thought
this
line
could
stay
in
place,
at
least
at
this
portion
of
the
project,
and
unfortunately,
once
the
conflict
became
known,
we
then
had
to
go
through
the
creek,
and
so
I
have
some
numbers
about
almost
about
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
were
for
that
work
within
the
creek
itself.
AB
There
was
also
a
lot
of
extensive
dewatering
that
was
required
about
nine
or
ten
days,
and
it
also
included
removal
and
disposal
of
unsuitable
soils
that
were
within
the
within
the
the
creek
and
also
then
we
had
to
go
and
remove
the
water
main
that
we
originally
intended
to
be
to
remain
in
place.
AB
There
was
also
about
a
hundred
thousand
that
were
additional
overruns
and
those
were
for
shallow
shallow
pipes,
basically
that
they
didn't
have
sufficient
cover
on
top
of
them,
and
so,
while
we
were
out
there,
we
identified
these
and
said:
let's
go
ahead
and
take
care
of
those
before
they
end
up
breaking
in
the
future.
Then
there's
another
25
000
ford
contingency
replenishment
and
which
we're
expecting
to
get
that
back
and
then
also
about
15
000
is
for
the
county's
5
administration
fees.
AB
We,
I
know,
I
don't
have
the
exact
the
exact
date.
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
infrastructure
throughout
the
city
that
it
was
just
installed
so
long
ago.
We're
really
not
sure.
AB
Yeah
yeah
during
the
course
of
this
this
this
change
order.
We
I
spoke
with
public
utilities
and
they
had
said
that
they
haven't
done
any
any
work
out
there
for
at
least
10
years,
and
so
we
know
it's,
it
was
pretty.
It
was
probably
pretty
old,
but
again
this
was
the
conflict
with
the
stormwater
box.
It
had
to
be
moved.
Even
if
we
had
installed
it
last
year,
it
would
have
had
to
be
moved.
Y
Yeah
so
some
of
it
has
been
answered
because
my
question
is:
why
is
this
project
dragging
on
and
on
and
on
I
mean
this-
is
it's
I've
never
seen
a
project
that
lasts
as
long
for
such
a
short
amount
of
period,
but
I
understand
there's
a
lot
of
conflicts.
Is
this
also
part
of
a
watershed
project?
Where
they're
I
mean
some
of
the
water
flow
ghosts
to
stevens
creek
or
something.
AB
Yeah,
I'm
sorry.
I
can't
really
speak
to
the
overall
intent
of
the
project.
I
know
it's
the
it's
the
county.
I
know
they're
trying
to
improve
stormwater.
All
I
can
really
speak
to
are
the
city
of
clearwater
utilities
that
have
been
impacted
by
that
project.
Q
AB
AB
It
didn't
begin
until
early
2019
and
as
far
as
I
know,
it's
expected
to
be
completed
by
the
end
of
this
year,
but
I'll
certainly
reach
out
and
see
if
I
can
get
a
better
better
response
for
you.
Thank
you.
Q
Approved
construction
manager
at
risk
proposal
from
skanska
inc,
half
of
florida,
for
installation
of
supportive
infrastructure
for
imagine
clearwater
at
the
guaranteed
maximum
price
of
one
million.
One
hundred
and
eighty
four
thousand
ninety
dollars
and
authorize
the
appropriate
officials
to
execute.
T
Morning,
council,
cat
corcoran
senior
landscape
architect
with
engineering
a
month
and
a
half
ago,
I
believe
you
approved
the
purchase
of
materials
to
support
duke
energy's
work
in
the
park
ahead
of
the
full-blown
construction
phase.
This
work
is
scheduled
to
begin
in
early
september
and
will
be
completed
by
mid-january
and
includes
directional
drilling
for
duke
energy's
conduits.
This
also
includes
the
installation
of
site
construction
trailers
that
will
serve
as
the
office
space
like
on-site
project
management
for
scan
sets
through
the
entirety
of
all
phases
of
imaging,
clear
water.
T
We
had
been
communicating
with
jazz
fest
and
if
they
had
chosen
to
go
forward,
we
were
going
to
coordinate
with
them.
Skanska
was
very
flexible
in
being
able
to
accommodate
them
if
they
were
going
to
use
anything,
but
that
end
of
jazz
fest
was
our
cutoff
date
for
any
future
events
happening
so
yeah.
The
mid
end
of
this
autumn
is
when
we
will
no
longer
be
able
to
accommodate
events.
L
Well,
a
follow-up
question
is:
if
jazz
fest
has
been
canceled,
do
we
receive
any
money
that
we
allocated
for
that
back?
Have
we
is
that,
finally,.
Q
Continuing
the
festival,
so
we
all
have
to
when
we
think
about
jazz
holiday.
We
have
to
think
about
it
as
an
event,
not
necessarily
only
occurring
at
one
at
the
at
one
location.
So
so,
based
on
that,
I
I
don't
foresee
you
know
any
reason
to
recover
the
budgeted
amount
because,
as
far
as
I
know,
the
event
is
still
intending
to
occur.
It's
just
going
to
occur
at
different
ways.
Q
L
And
then,
when
I
look
through
the
document,
the
17-page
document
that's
attached,
which
is
the
summary
of
things
that
are
going
on
when
you
use
the
word
owner.
The
owner
means
the
city
of
clearwater.
Is
that
correct?
L
I
I
see
that
you
have
conditions
related
to
covid
and
specifically
mentioning
you
know
the
coronavirus
and
any
pandemic
for
overruns,
and
things
like
that
and
you
know
so,
can
you
so
on
page
three,
I
have
a
question
about
the
use
of
union
labor
prevailing
wage
is
not
mandatory
and
has
not
been
considered
in
this
gmp
guaranteed
of
maximum
price.
L
A
Are
you
saying
that
you
want
union
workers.
L
I
think
it's
good
to
have
union
workers,
I
mean
I,
I
was
part
of
a
union
and-
and
I
think
it's
you
know-
I
mean
I
would
do
a
cost
analysis.
But
generally
I
like
to
support
union
work.
L
I
think
there
are
things
you
need
to
weigh
as
far
as
how
how
you
know
workers
are
treated,
what
their
benefits
are,
and,
if
that's
you
know,
part
of
the
cost
of
what
you
pay
for
the
product.
If,
if
that's
what
you
you
know
value,
so
I
mean
that's
all
part
of
you
know
kind
of
philosophical
discussions.
I
guess
I
had
a
question
too
about
on
skansk
on
the
page
four.
L
It
says
that
this
is
not
a
lead
project
cost
to
meet
lead
requirements
that
may
be
included
in
the
specifications
are
not
included
in
the
gmp,
and
I
I
understand
that
we
don't
have
a
requirement
that
this
is
going
to
be
lead
certified.
But
I
was
just
curious
as
to
how
frequently
you
work
with
leed
certification
in
your
in
your
development.
Is
it
you're
super
familiar
with
it
or
you?
Do
it
often.
T
So
I
don't
know
of
any
lead
certified
projects
that
we
have
in
the
works
right
now.
I
can
tell
you-
and
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear-
that
throughout
the
entirety
of
this
project,
how
we've
been
designing
things
we
want
to
design
as
close
to
lead
accreditation
as
we
can
without
actually
getting
the
accreditation
there's
a
lot
of
expense
and
monitoring
associated
with
that.
So
I
know
that
myself
and
other
staff
members
at
the
city,
as
well
as
the
entire
design
team,
are
very
focused
on
sustainability
and
wherever
possible,
we
implement
those
things.
L
I
I
understand
that
I'm
okay
with
that.
As
far
as
you
know,
I
know
there
is
a
big
cost
with
the
formal
certification,
yeah
okay
and
then
I
just
had
one
you
know
in
looking
at
the
numbers
on
page
six
it
in
the
second
paragraph.
It
says
in
preparing
this
gmp
proposal,
skanska
included
a
contractor
contingency
in
the
amount
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
scances
your
exclusive
use.
If
there
are
things
that
go
over,
it
says
to
cover
those
costs
considered
reimbursable
as
the
cost
of
the
work,
but
not
included
in
change
order.
L
Construction
contingency
shall
be
available
for
skanska's
exclusive
use
at
any
time,
including
at
the
time
of
final
payment
for
reimbursement
of
costs
and
expenses,
one
reasonably
incurred
by
skanska
in
performing
the
work,
and
that
seems
fine,
two
of
a
type
that
are
reimbursable
under
the
contract
as
a
cost
of
the
work
that
one
to
me
seemed
like.
I
don't
even
unders.
You
know
that
language,
it
just
says
it's
under
cost
of
the
work.
T
Yeah,
so
that
would
be
anything
that
is
not
currently
included
in
their
scope
that
we
discover
you
know.
Sometimes
you
encounter
strange
conditions
whenever
you
break
ground,
and
so
that
would
cover
any
overruns
that
are
not
foreseen.
L
Okay,
so
you
wouldn't
charge
us
for
the
unknown.
So
like
that
previous
thing,
we
were
talking
about
at
sunset,
where
you
know
they
discovered
this
16-inch
water
main
or
whatever.
You
could
use
this
50
000
for
unforeseen
things
and
then
once
it's
used
up,
then
you'd
charge
us
for
those
unforeseen
things.
So
do
you
decide
if
you're
going
to
pull
from
that
50
000
and
not
charge
us
or
do
we
just
say,
hey
pull
from
that
50
000
first
and
then
you
can
charge
us.
T
They
don't
get
to
use
that
50
000
without
my
authorization
and
it's
conversation
that
happens,
they'll
be
letting
me
know
anything
they
discover
and
we
will
determine
together
and
if
we
need
input
from
legal,
we
always
go
and
go
to
them
as
we
need
it
to
determine.
If
it's
an
appropriate
use
of
funds-
and
only
at
that
point
will
we
authorize
those
funds
used.
Okay,.
A
Q
Horn,
it's
really
not
a
question.
It's
it's
kind
of
relating
to
council
member
beckman's
comment
regarding
cost
being
philosophical.
I
just
want
to
remind
the
public
that
you
know
our
approach
to
our
project
management
and
cost
of
projects
is
driven
by
the
council's
policy
decision
for
us
to
complete
these
projects
with
the
least
amount
of
dollars.
Q
So
we
are
looking
at
at
cost-related
issues
where
we
can
reduce
costs
so
anytime.
The
council
decides
from
a
policy
perspective
that
it
wants
to
consider
other
other
aspects.
Council
can
certainly
do
that,
but
right
now
we're
looking
for
trying
to
complete
these
projects
with
you
know
at
the
lowest
cost
possible.
AC
Yeah,
tara,
kivat
engineering
director
to
expand
a
little
bit
on
the
whole
union
wages
and
and
that
type
of
information
we.
Whenever
we
see
federal
funds,
then
our
projects
do
have
to
pay
prevailing
wages,
but
it
was
a
couple
years
ago
we
did
do
an
analysis
of
a
project
that
we
hadn't
received
federal
funds,
but
we
compared
what
we
were
paying
on
that
project.
AC
What
we
would
have
had
to
pay
if,
if
we
did
have
to
pay
prevailing
wages
and
all
but
one
I
think
it
was
electrician
trades
were
meeting
the
federal
requirements
and
the
one
that
didn't
it
was
just
minorly
off.
So
so
I'm
sharing
that
just
let
you
know
that
in
essence,
what
our
local
contractors
do
pay
are
awfully
close
to
prevailing
wages.
AD
Good
morning,
mayor
and
council,
I'd
like
to
start
by
touching
on
vice
mayor's
question
about
the
sunset
point
project.
I
can
give
a
little
bit
of
context
to
his
his
question
about
the
stormwater
implications
and
coordination
efforts.
We
have
there.
We
actually
have
a
joint
project
in
that
location
with
the
county.
AD
They
started
with
that
sunset
point
bridge
crossing.
I
don't
know
about
the
ex
the
extent
of
the
project
as
a
whole,
but
they're
replacing
that
bridge
at
sunset
point
as
a
preliminary
step
for
our
projects
downstream.
We
basically
have
to
improve
douglas
avenue
springtime
and
over
brick.
Those
are
all
bridge
replacements,
increasing
capacity
of
the
system,
inherently
lowering
the
flood
stage,
so
that
was
the
key
project
to
kind
of
kick
off
and
get
our
projects.
So
without
that
one
happening,
we
would
see
no
benefit
downstream,
so
they're
kind
of
starting
that
process
for
us.
AD
So
that
being
said,
I'd
like
to
start
today
with
a
little
bit
of
let's
say
a
little
historical
context
in
fall
of
2012.
AD
AD
In
2013,
we
launched
our
first
annual
repair
or,
I
guess,
annual
repair
and
maintenance
contract.
AD
At
that
time
we
began
to
realize
the
efficiencies
of
this
process,
so
the
stormwater
repair
contract
in
front
of
us
today,
we've
done
this
in
the
past.
It
worked
out
really
well
for
us,
so
this
is
a
continuation
of
a
very
successful
coordinated
effort
to
help
us
stay
ahead,
one
step
ahead
and
maintain
maintenance
and
health
and
health
of
our
system.
AD
This
contract
provides
construction
phase
services
for
small
small
scale,
storm
water,
repairs
and
maintenance
throughout
the
city
of
clearwater.
So
basically
we
get
to
get
competitive
bids
for
various
line
items
and
depending
on
which
projects
come
up.
We
have
basically
a
contractor
on
board
to
get
to
these
one
quicker
than
we
could
internally
and
two.
We
don't
typically
have
the
machinery
or
the
manpower
to
do
this
within
a
reasonable
amount
of
time.
D
A
Q
Award
a
construction
contract
to
shenandoah
general
construction
company
in
pompano
beach
florida
for
invitation
to
bid
storm
water,
pipe
cleaning
and
the
annual
amount
of
400
000
for
an
initial
one-year
term,
with
an
option
to
renew
for
three
additional
one-year
renewal
terms
on
a
unit
price
basis
and
authorize
the
appropriate
officials
to
execute
scientists.
Birds
act.
AD
Again,
roger
johnson
engineering
manager-
this
again
is
is
one
of
the
I
guess,
four
or
five
maintenance
contracts
that
we
have.
The
item
presented
is
a
continuation
of
our
efforts
to
provide
efficient
use
of
resources
to
maintain
our
system's
health.
This
contract
will
allow
us
to
basically
clean
our
pipes.
Our
infrastructure,
the
majority
of
work,
is
going
to
be
barnacle
cleaning.
That's
the
priority
of
this
contract.
You
know
I'd,
say
the
majority
of
our
pipes
out
on
the
beach.
AD
M
Ms
johnson,
how
many
of
the
outflows
I
thought
we
installed
the
baffles
to
to
prevent
and
minimize
the
salt
water
intrusion
back
into
the
pipes?
How
many
of
the
outflows
do
have
those
baffles
and
how
are
they?
Are
they
doing
their
job.
AD
All
of
our
outfall
pipes
out
there
have
them
where
the
majority
of
them
have
them.
The
the
challenge
we
have
is
is
gravity
and
pressure
ahead
in
that
pipe.
So
our
part,
the
amount
of
tide
flux
is
so
minimal
and
it's
so
slow
the
way
those
those
devices
work
is
they
create
basically
a
suction
when
that
tide,
changes
and
that
that
water
is
moving,
but
sometimes
when
it's
moving
so
slowly,
it
can't
really
close
as
well
as
we'd
like
it
to.
AD
We
are
planning
on
changing
a
couple
of
those
out
in
a
pilot
program
for
to
a
newer
type
device
in
hopes
that
would
try
and
help
that
situation,
but
again
we're
dealing
with
such
small
head
pressure
differentials
that
it's
really
hard
to
get
a
seal
for
that
to
actually
happen.
You
know
if
we're
in
the
northeast
and
you
had
a
12
foot
tide
swing.
You
know
we.
It
obviously
worked
a
lot
easier,
but
that's
the
challenge
we
kind
of
face
there.
E
M
Y
I
know
boats
have
a
special
chemical
in
the
paints
that
they
use
to
keep
barnacles
growing
on
the
bottom
of
that,
I
was
just
wondering
if
there's
something
we
could
do
that,
would
we
could
apply
that,
would
we
wouldn't
have
to
go
out
there
because
barnacles
grow?
I
mean,
I
know
in
a
couple
of
days.
They
start
sticking
on
things
so.
AD
So
to
answer
your
question:
it's
not
like
an
ablative
type
paint,
but
we
do
that's.
The
purpose
of
having
this
annual
contract
is
to
go
out
and
clean
these
things,
which
also
includes
cleaning
our
our
duckbill
valves
and
painting
them.
So
there
is
a
treatment,
that's
on
them
now
to
help
mitigate
that
it's
almost
an
anti-fouling
paint,
just
like
you
put
on
the
bottom
of
a
boat,
but
you
know
again
as
long
as
we
can
keep
up
with
these
things.
We
have
a
better
chance
of
those
things
working.

Any

AF
Good
afternoon
lauren
matzke
planning
and
development,
the
city's
clearwater
comprehensive
plan
is
the
city's
plan
for
the
next
10
to
20
years
capturing
the
vision
of
where
the
city
wants
to
be
in
the
future.
It's
divided
into
elements
such
as
future,
land
use
transportation
and
public
utilities,
and
in
each
element
there
are
goals,
objectives
and
policies
that
guide
decisions
of
city,
council,
the
city,
administration
and,
of
course,
staff.
AF
The
city's
future
land
use
map
is
adopted
as
part
of
that
plan,
and
that
map
organizes
the
various
categories
of
land
such
as
residential,
urban
and
commercial
general
inches
where
those
should
go.
The
comprehensive
plan
is
implemented,
then,
through
the
community
development
code,
the
capital
improvements
program
and
redevelopment
or
neighborhood
and
special
area
plans.
The
last
major
update
to
the
comprehensive
plan
took
place
in
2008
for
a
10-year
planning
horizon.
AF
AF
AF
AF
AF
AF
A
draft
schedule
was
included
and
with
these
firms
support,
the
project
is
estimated
to
take
just
under
two
years,
inclusive
of
the
six
months
for
the
adoption
process.
The
cost
for
hdr
and
sb
friedman's
work
is
236
thousand
three
hundred
twenty
four
dollars.
The
city
would
be
piggybacking
off
of
pinellas
county's
general
planning
consultant
list,
as
allowed
by
the
code
of
ordinances.
L
Aye,
ms
manske,
it's
good
to
see
you.
I
had
a
couple
questions
number
one
on
the
the
document
that
the
company
provided.
You
know
they
said
they
want
to
reach
out
to
a
diverse
amount
number
of
stakeholders,
and
I
think
that's
great.
L
When
I
look
at
the
scope
of
service,
I
had
a
couple
questions
about
the
data
under
socioeconomics
and
demographics.
I'm
just
wondering
you
know:
where
are
they
going
to
get
the
most
up-to-date
since
this
is
a
census
year?
Are
they
going
to
be
consulting
census
data?
That's
like
10
years
old
or
and-
and
I
also
yeah,
so
how
do
we
get
the
most
accurate
information
there.
AF
Well,
we
do
always
try
to
use
the
the
most
readily
available
and
up-to-date
information
so
for
the
census
that
could
involve
using
the
the
american
community
survey
that
that's
updated
more
frequently
from
a
population
projection
standpoint
and
other
things.
The
forward
pinellas
updates
that
using
their
own
projection
modules
and
just
most
recently
did
that
as
part
of
their
long-range
transportation
plan.
So
we
would
also
look
at
various
data
sources
like
that.
L
AF
L
Okay,
I
was
glad
to
see
the
sustainability
and
resiliency
is,
is
part
of
it,
so
that
that
was
really
good.
I'm
concerned
about
the
visioning
and
planning
framework
work,
which
is
under
task
three,
especially
in
light
of
covid,
which
goes
along
with
other
questions
that
we
talked
about
during
this
meeting
about
how
we
engage
key
stakeholders
and
residents.
AF
Yes,
hcr
and
like
many
consultant
firms
had
to
pivot
pretty
quickly
because
their
projects
did
not
stop
despite
fovid,
so
they've
been
using
several
different
online
engagement
tools
that
are
options
that
we're
exploring
as
well.
There's
a
line
item
related
to
that
we
just
haven't
picked
that
function.
AF
Additionally,
you
know,
we've
outlined
some
opportunities
for
community
conversations,
that
we
could
use
the
zoom
platform
or
other
meetings
of
this
nature
that
might
allow
more
people
to
participate
at
different
times
of
the
day
and
from
the
comfort
of
their
home,
where
they
might
not
normally
come
out
to
a
specific
point
in
time
meeting
as
well.
So
it's
certainly
part
of
the
very
initial
conversation
you'll
see
under
task
one
establishing
that
public
outreach
and
engagement
plan
and
staff
will
be
doing
a
good
portion
of
that
outreach.
L
Yeah
I
saw
that
so
that
was
good
and
for
public
listening
sessions
and
then
they
go
back
and
kind
of
formulate
things
and
then
go
back
for
edits
and
revisions
and
feedback
which
is
pretty
exciting.
But
one
of
the
things
I
see
under
3.2
vision,
statement
and
preliminary
framework,
so
their
vision,
statement
or
guiding
principles
will
be
presented
as
a
series
of
statements
with
supporting
graphics
that
relate
to
improved
livability
housing,
affordability,
sustainability
and
resiliency
mobility,
equity
and
inclusion,
place,
quality
parks
and
public
spaces.
L
All
that's
great,
so
I
love
that
those
are
in
the
vision
statement.
However,
when
we
get
back
to
the
when
we
get
to
the
planned
drafting,
so
this
seems,
like
the
whole,
the
meat
of
it
the
work.
It
says
the
consultant
will
assist
staff
in
the
preparation
of
an
initial
draft
of
the
plan.
With
these
bullets,
which
are
the
introductory
and
cross-cutting
cutting
content,
land
use
element,
mobility,
element,
housing,
element
draft,
but
then
the
other
element
draft
says
city
staff,
prepares
all
draft
elements
here
and
the
consultant
reviews
and
provides
comments.
L
AF
AF
Additionally,
we
had
to
keep
the
costs
down,
so
there
was
only
so
much
that
we
could
could
do
and
still
achieve
that
goal.
We
do
have
staff
that
have
the
capabilities.
AF
We
have
a
new
long-range
planning
manager,
that's
joined
us
just
recently
and
she
comes
from
the
private
sector,
so
she's
also
written
many
comp
plans,
so
we'll
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
that.
It's
not
to
say
that
they're
less
important,
it's
just
that
structuring
it.
The
three
elements
there
that
are
excuse
me,
excuse
me
again
called
out
more
specifically,
is
because
this
scope
of
work
is
for
hdr's
work,
but
you're
right
like
we
would
then
be.
L
Okay
and
then
I
found
it
interesting,
I
like
that
we
have
six
workshops
for
revision
and
four
for
the
initial
draft,
so
like.
As
a
former
english
teacher,
I
like
to
see
a
lot
a
lot
of
work,
put
into
revision
and
then
also
on
the
last
part,
under
plan
review
and
refinement,
and
I
don't
know
if
this
was
just
an
over.
L
You
know
looking
at
you
know
an
oversight
problem
or
something,
but
it
says
the
consultant
will
assist
by
conducting
a
full
review
and
up
to
three
full
sessions,
three
full
revisions
to
the
initial
plan.
Oh,
it
was
the
first
sentence.

Q
AG
Mayor
mayor
council,
dan
mayer,
I.t
director,
this
is
our
annual
support
for
our
fortigates,
which
is
our
firewall
system
and
with
the
addition
of
several
new
facilities
and
some
other
functionality
across
the
city,
we've
we've
had
to
increase
the
number
of
firewalls.
We
have
all
for
the
better.
We
hope
and
with
your
approval,
we'll
continue
to
stay
safe,
so
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
L
A
L
I
do
have
a
question,
so
it's
it's
sort
of
interesting,
so
we're
asked
to
approve.
You
know
a
relatively
small
amount
in
the
whole
scheme
of
things
of
156
thousand
dollars
and
when
I
go
through
the
agenda
items
and
the
attachments
when
I
see
something
that's
408
pages
and
then
another
attachment,
that's
129
pages
from
mesa
arizona.
L
I
got
to
tell
you
I'm
like
what
am
what
why
is
this
here
and-
and
I
would
I'm
just
respectfully
very
respectfully-
asked
that
there's
you
know
a
sentence
or
two
narrative
about
why
mesa
arizona's
agreement
was
attached
here
and
what
am
I
supposed
to
be
looking
for
in
400
page
for
an
eight
page
attached
document.
AG
Yeah
we,
we
always
have
to
include
the
contracts
that
we're
purchasing
under
so
we're
purchasing
this
through
the
state
of
florida
contract
state
of
florida
chose
this
contract
off
of
nassbo
naspo
is
the
national
association
of
purchasing
managers,
so
the
purchasing
managers,
when
you're
dealing
with
commodities
that
don't
have
regional
pricing
differences,
they
follow
a
protocol
for
how
they
bid
them
and
how
they
structure
their
contracts,
and
then
the
states
share
those
contracts
among
themselves.
So,
in
this
case,
this
this
product
does
not
have
any
regional
bias.
We
attach
it
electronically.
AG
Just
so
we
have
reference
to
the
terms
and
conditions
under
which
we're
purchasing
the
product
and
and
to
establish
that
we
use
proper
purchasing
protocol.
This
isn't
a
favoritism.
So
that's
it's
a
matter
of
protocol
to
attach
the
documents,
but
that's
that's
how
they
got
through
the
purchasing
manager
would
do
a
much
better
job
explaining
everything.
That's
essentially
what
what
is
happening.
AG
Yeah
well
and
remember,
the
cdw
is
a
large
wholesaler.
They
sell
hundreds
and
thousands
of
doc
products
and
documents.
So
cdw
was
authorized
under
naspo.
The
state
of
florida
adopted
that
nasbo
contract,
which
was
issued
by
the
state
of
arizona
mesa
arizona
as
our
state
contract
portal
to
cdw,
and
then
in
that
contract
we
can
buy
hundreds
of
items
or
thousands
of
items,
different
items
in
particular
in
our
case
we're
using
this
contract
but
we're
buying
the
fortigate
maintenance
products.

AH
L
Yeah
I
just
just.
I
noticed
that
in
the
bid
tabulation
sometimes
when
we
have
contracts
that
we
look
at,
we
can
see
the
addresses
of
these
companies,
and
sometimes
we
don't.
But
can
we
have
like
consistency
to
see
I'd
like
to
know
where
the
companies
are
just
just
a
consistency
of
where
these
companies
are
located.
L
Well,
because
I'm
I
I'm
I'm
interested
in
who
we're
doing
business
with
and
I'm
I'm
I'm
truthfully
asking
some
questions
about
the
diversity
of
who
we
have
contracts
with,
and
so
I
I
would
like
to
know
you
know,
I'm
I'm
doing
yeah
research
on
who
what
companies
are
we
working
with?
Who
are
the
ceos?
What
are
the
demographics
of
it
and
to
be
intentional
of
of
and
and
knowledgeable
about
what
we're
doing
as
a
city
in
engaging
work?
That's
awesome.
L
Just
the
address
of
a
company-
I
just
remember
when
we
did
the
tree
maintenance.
You
know
we
had
different
contractors
for
palm
trees
versus
this
trees
and
they
they
just
you
know,
had
a
tab
that
just
had
the
name
of
the
company
and
the
address.
I
think,
there's
another
agenda
item
today
we
had
where
you
know
they
listed
out
the
different.
Q
You're
asking
for
a
consistency,
we
use
a
lot
of
documents,
so
you're
asking
us
then
to
spend
what
could
be
a
considerable
amount
of
time
amending
documents
simply
to
add
their
addresses.
We'll
take
a
look
at
that,
but
I
just
I
I
just
have
to
say
you
know
I
mean
we've
been
here
for
a
long
time.
I've
been
here
20
years
and
I've
yet
to
hear
a
requirement
like
that,
not
that
we
aren't
concerned
with
who
we're
doing
business
with,
but
it's
just
that
administratively.
L
Q
AI
AI
AI
The
system
is
highly
configurable
and
it
has
helped
us
throughout
the
years
to
streamline
a
lot
of
our
manual
processes
for
the
end
users.
We
are
asked
also
asking
for
additional
money
because
we're
doing
an
upgrade
between
this
year
next
year,
and
we
also
have
to
replace
our

that's
outdated.

seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
L
Yeah,
and
so
we
had
started
in
forty
five
thousand
and
two
in
2016,
then
we
go
up
33
to
60,
000
and
2017
and
now
75
000.
I
was
just
wondering
if
we
had,
I
I
understand
in
the
narrative.
You
said
that
we
you
know
we
had
to
account
for
the
fact
that
we
have
because
of
hurricane
irma,
but
I
didn't
know
if
that
quotes
were
if
they
factor
in
that
we
do
live
in
a
hurricane-prone
area.
Number
one
and
number
two
do
do.
F
What
they're
asking
for
in
this
last
term,
we
had
a
department
that
had
an
issue
with
getting
vehicles
two
times
stuck
and
that
total
was
eleven
thousand
dollars
and.
F
The
equipment
got
stuck
in
in
the
mud
very,
very
deeply
and
took
a
lot
of
heavy
equipment
to
get
it
out.
Towing
companies
work
for
eight
hours
to
get
that
piece
of
equipment
out,
and
that
happened
twice
on
the
same
project.
F
F

AJ
F
A
Q
Increase
the
contract
90048
holes
in
hydraulics
inc,
of
course,
florida
in
the
amount
of
100
000
for
the
remainder
of
the
third
year
term,
bringing
the
total
amount
of
325
000
increased.
The
final
two
terms
of
the
contract:
expiring
august
10th,
2022
to
325
000
for
the
purchase
of
replacement,
hydraulic
parts,
repairs
and
service
for
vehicles
and
equipment
used
by
city
departments
in
accordance
with
flow,
artificial
code
or
ordinances,
section
2.5641,
any
other
government
entities
bids
and
authorize
the
appropriate
officials
to
execute
sign.
Mr.
F
F
F
In
addition,
fleet
has
started
a
term
pit
stop
wednesdays,
where
h
h
comes
to
inspect
the
integrity
of
the
hoses
on
the
solid
waste
vehicles
weekly
and
replace
as
needed.
They
are
also
able
to
make
these
hoses
on
site.
This
is
beneficial
to
lower
roadside
calls
and
related
spills
going
forward.
In
the
last
year,
the
solid
waste
shop
has
had
a
shortage
of
up
to
three
technicians
through
the
course
of
the
year
and
relied
on
h,
h
more.
L
Yeah,
just
a
clarification,
so
you've
got
230
000
for
this
wednesday
preventative
work,
which
sounds
good,
but
then
we
have
a
fixed
hourly
label
rate
labor
rate
of
55
dollars
for
general
hydraulic
shock
work
performed
are:
are
we
going
to
be
charged
an
hourly
rate
as
well
as
this
230
000
flat
fee
to
cover
wednesday
preventative
work?
No.
AH
Y
F
I
D
A
AJ
Increase
the
amount
of
the
contract
with
manson
bulvas
donaldson
varn
for
outside
council
representation
on
the
seminal
boat,
docks
land
ownership
issues
for
an
amount
not
to
exceed,
which
was
originally
from
out
not
to
exceed
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
for
a
new
contract
amount
not
to
exceed.
Seventy
five
thousand
dollars
approve
the
amendment
to
the
legal
services
agreement,
increasing
the
contract
amount
and
authorized
the
appropriate
officials
to
execute
saying
council.
This
was.
AJ
I
don't
believe,
there's
an
attorney
in
chambers
okay,
so
this
was
a
litigation
originally
brought
on
by
us
on
the
seminole
boat
docks
to
resolve
some
title
issues
with
that
we
were
hoping
to
resolve
that
without
the
necessity
of
having
to
file
litigation.
But
that
is
not
the
case,
and
so
we
will
have
to
file
the
lawsuit
and
the
we
anticipate
that
that
amount
will
not
be
over
75
000.
M
Is
this
a
is
this
just
a
standard
process
to
get
the
title
cleared
up
or
is
there?
Is
there
another
party
fighting
what
we're
trying
to
do.
AJ
This
is
a
standard
process.
No
one
has
opposed
us
as
of
yet
okay.
A
Anyone
else
consent,
okay,
item
17.2,.
AJ
P
Thank
you
miss
aiken
good
morning,
mayor
members
of
council,
michael
fauino
assistant
city
attorney,
this
agenda
item
requests
authority
to
enter
into
a
services
agreement
with
a
florida
licensed
attorney
to
perform
special
magistrate
services
for
co-enforcement
proceedings
under
article
7
for
the
clear
water
community
development
code.
The
cost
is
a
flat
retainer
fee
of
500
per
month.
For
each
month
where
hearings
are
held,
the
city
attorney's
office
has
reviewed
the
contract
for
legal
sufficiency
and
recommends
that
council
enter
into
it.
There's
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
take
them
any.
A
Any
questions
on
second
reading
of
item
17.3.
AJ
AJ
There
is
a
comma
after
the
this
was
an
existing
language.
This
is
not
the
new
proposed
language
and
it's
the
the
section
that
refers
to
the
islandway
grill.
It
has
a
comma
after
islandway
grill,
and
it
should
not
so.
AJ
A
Okay,
any
questions
about
that
other
than
said,
comma.
Okay
item
17.4
is
just
our
proclamation,
mr
horn.
Any
verbal
reports
no
matter
mistaken.
AJ
A
L
Yeah
I
and
this
this,
you
know
you
kind
of
asked
about
it
a
little
bit
before,
but
I'd
like
I'd
like
us
to
be
aware,
I'd
like
to
become
aware
of
in
all
those
contracts
that
we
award
I'd
like
to
know
how
many
are
awarded
to
minority
or
female-owned
businesses,
and
I
I
understand
that
our
state
has
an
officer
office
of
supplier,
diversity
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
utilize
any
of
their
resources,
and
I
just
I'd
like
to
operate
intentionally
and
just
be
aware
of
what
we're
doing
with
our
our
contract
awards.
L
I
know
that
money
is
a
significant
driver
as
it
should
be,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
aware
of
some
other
considerations
as
we
as
we
go
forward
with
our
contracts.
L
Is
it
important
to
us
what
what
are
those
numbers-
and
I
think
more
or
just
as
important
is
when
we
put
things
out
to
bid
how
many
minorities
or
females
are,
are
actually
applying
for
these
contracts,
and-
and
maybe
we
should
start
there
and
find
out
if,
if
the
number
is
very
very
low,
why
is
it
low?
Is
it
proportional
to
the
number
of
minorities
or
females
that
own
those
types
of
businesses,
but
anyway,
I
think
it's
it's
something
I
would
like
to
discuss
at
a
future
meeting.
A
L
You
know,
I
don't
think
I
did
no
okay.
A
Cause
that
probably,
would
be
the
most
appropriate
time
to
do
it.
I
mean
to
me
that's
a
philosophical
question:
there's
monetary
questions
that
go
along
with
it
sure,
but
I've
I
gave
them
a
pretty
extensive
list
that
I
gave
to
miss
call
mr
horn
and
miss
aiken,
and
a
lot
of
them
are
really
philosophical
questions
about
how
we
want
to
operate,
and
I
think
this
fits
into
that
framework
of
discussion.
A
L
L
Q
There
can
I
make
a
comment.
Yes,
sir,
I
you
know,
I
certainly
see
the
value
and
I
understand
the
value
of
having
a
deeper
awareness
of
of
this
issue,
but
but
one
of
the
things
that
you're
going
to
get
from
me
is:
what
do
you
plan
to
do
about
it?
Q
So
you
do
have
an
analysis
that
that
that
will
suggest
that
will
describe
you,
know
current
practice
and
what
we're
doing
so.
That's
fine,
but
what
does
that
mean
and
then
what
are
you
going
to
do
about
it?
Otherwise
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
on
stuff
that
you
know
is
of
no
consequence
to
how
we
go
about
doing
our
jobs
so.
A
A
If
that's
the
direction
we
go,
but
then
to
me
you
have
to
start
setting
certain
parameters
thresholds
I
mean
if,
if
it's
a
minority
business
versus
another
business
for
the
same
cost,
does
the
tie
go
to
the
minority
business?
Are
you
willing
to
pay
a
five
percent
premium
at
10
premium?
A
Those
are
the
type
of
discussion
items
that
you
really
have
to
have,
because
you
know,
when
you
make
a
decision,
it
has
ramifications,
I'm
not
saying
that
those
ramifications
aren't
worth
it,
but
you
talk
about
being
intentional.
We
have
to
be
intentional
and
transparent
about
the
fact
that
making
any
one
decision
means
you're
making.
You
know
potentially
other
decisions
that
go
along
with
it,
because
there
are
finite
resources,
and
so
we
have
to
balance
all
of
those.
L
Yeah
it'll
be
good
to
have
it
as
part
of
our
our
big.
You
know
get
to
know
you
sessions
and
yeah.
A
I
mean
it's
going
to
be
a
long
conversation,
because
I
don't
know
that
there's
always
definitive
answers
for
these
questions.
Some
of
it
is
very
subjective.
L
D
L
There
are
municipalities
and
states
that
have
you
know,
initiatives
it's
not
like
where
you
know
it's
the
first
time
this
has
been
addressed
by
governmental
agencies.
You
know,
and
and
so
it's
it's
just
it's
a
we're
dealing
like
you
said
the
data
is
there
and
so
once
you're,
given
the
data
and
those
are
the
facts,
it's
what
what
do
you
intend
to
do
with
with
it?
M
L
I'm
going
to
ask
I
would
like
to
have,
instead
of
our
go
bolts,
two
banners
that
we
have
up
there
right
now.
I
would
like
for
two
months
us
to
have
go
vote,
banners
on
that
old
city
hall
building,
and
I
think
it
would
be
really
great.
First
of
all,
they'd
be
usable,
reusable
again
and
again
and
again,
and
it
certainly
promotes
civic
engagement
and
I
think
it'd
be
a
great
thing
to
have
up
there.
M
AC
A
A
All
right
well,
thank
you.
All
good
meeting,
look
forward
to
seeing
everybody
on
thursday.
Until
then,
god
bless
and
be
safe
and
wear
a
mask.
We
are.
