A
B
Lord,
we
thank
you
for
your
many
blessings
and
especially
the
blessing
of
living
in
a
free
and
wonderful
country,
and
we
pray
for
our
council
meeting
tonight
for
each
member
of
the
board
that
you
give
them
wisdom
insight
as
they
make
decisions.
May
every
decision
be
based
upon
integrity
and
and
principles
of
honesty,
principles
of
all
the
things
that
would
come
under
the
category
of
justice.
So
we
pray
that
those
who
will
be
honored
tonight
will
be
encouraged
and
well
deserved
of
this
honor.
This
we
pray
in
your
name,
amen,
amen.
A
Thank
you,
pastor,
krieloff.
We
appreciate
you
being
here.
As
always,
I
want
to
introduce
the
dyess
on
my
far
right
as
city
manager,
john
jennings
good
evening,
council
member,
all
britain
good
evening,
vice
mayor
beckmann,
good
evening,
councilmember
bunker
good
evening,
council
member
to
shaida
and
our
city
attorney
david
margolis.
A
We
have
a
couple
service
awards
to
start
out
the
evening,
as
I
call
your
name
if
you
could
come
forward.
First
of
all
for
employee
of
the
month
for
august
2022,
joe
marshall,
from
solid
waste.
C
Joe,
is
always
a
team
player
and
has
helped
keep
the
tran
transfer
station
running
as
smooth
as
possible,
as
the
team
faces
short
staffing
issues
and
equipment
shortages
due
to
repair
problems,
joe
has
been
been
able
to
bring
morale
and
positive
energy
to
all
around
whenever
he
walks
in
the
room.
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
reasons
why
I
think
joe
marshall
should
be
voted
employee
of
the
month.
C
A
Joe
also
asked
just
for
a
moment
to
speak
to
the
council.
He
has
been
instrumental
in
the
greenwood
panthers
for
years,
so
he
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
update.
So
we're
going
to
go
a
little
out
of
order
and
just
you've
got
the
floor.
Jeff.
D
Yes,
the
items
that
I
was
going
to
present
to
the
the
council
has
not
arrived:
okay,
so
they're
in
route
and
to.
A
C
A
A
E
The
dar
once
originally
petitioned
with
president
dwight
d
eisenhower
to
sign
into
public
law
that
september
2017
through
23rd
would
be
constitution
week
and
president
d
eisenhower
on
august,
2nd
1956,
did
proclaim
it
and
went
into
law.
We
were
here
just
to
remind
everybody
that
the
constitution
is
public,
that
the
constitution
is
the
basis
of
america's
great
heritage
and
the
foundation
for
a
way
of
life
and
to
emphasize
u.s
citizens,
responsibility
to
protect
it,
defend
it
and
preserve
it
always,
and
we
have
23
pocket
constitution
books
we'll
leave
in
the
back
on
the
table.
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
all
you
do.
Let
me
give
you
the
proclamation.
There
is
a
rise
right
here,
so
just
be
very
careful
people
trip
all
the
time.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank

I
Thank

on
behalf
of
the
lowe's

wishes
to
thank
the
city

on
the
path
to
sustainability,
with
a
with
increasing
impact
of
flooding
and
sea

rise
due
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
I
A
And
I
apologize
to
everybody:
I'm
battling
a
little
bit
of
a
cold,
so
I'm
a
little
raspy
tonight.
I
would
ask
if
there
are
any
amendments
to
the
midst
of
the
september
1st
2022
council
meeting
hope
to.
A
A
All
in
favor
aye
opposed
unanimous
this
time,
I'll
open
it
up
to
citizens
to
be
heard.
If
there
are
any
citizens
in
the
audience
that
would
like
to
speak
to
any
item
that
is
not
on
the
agenda.
You
can
find
agendas
in
the
back
of
the
room
to
my
right,
we
ask
you
to
fill
out
a
comment
card
state,
your
name
for
the
record,
and
we
respectfully
ask
you
to
keep
your
comments
to
three
minutes.
K
It's
good
to
be
here
before
you.
My
name
is
eliseo
santana,
I'm
a
resident
of
clearwater.
I
live
in
1400,
byron
drive
and
I
just
want
to
basically
speak
and
say
thank
you
to
the
city
for
spending
a
lot
of
the
resources
to
try
and
bring
about
a
flavor
of
the
hispanic
community
in
in
the
cleveland
area
that
that
area
that,
for
the
last
two
or
three
years,
we've
been
having
some
neighborhood
meetings,
some
interactions
with
the
community
in
the
city
to
try
and
develop
and
be
able
to
bring
a
magnet
to
that
area.
K
K
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that
effort
and
the
work,
and
I
definitely
wanted
to
continue,
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
I
as
president
of
lulac
lulac,
the
largest
hispanic
group
in
the
united
states
and
the
council,
that
we
have
here
that
I'm
the
president
office,
the
largest
council
in
the
state
of
florida
with
many
members,
myself
included
our
residents
in
this
city,
and
we
want
to
work
with
you
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
success
not
just
for
the
local
area
but
for
the
whole
city.
K
K
The
course
that
we
have
steered
and
that
we
have
concentrated
and
worked
with
for
quite
a
while,
because
this
is
the
right
way,
the
hispanic
community.
We
don't
normally
get
up
and
we
stir
the
pot
or
we
don't
necessarily
demand
things.
But
we
have
over
the
last
years,
thought
that
this
was
going
to
happen.
D
On
behalf
of
the
greenwood
panthers,
of
course,
my
application
is
with
the
city
clearwater,
but
one
of
my
passions
or
my
passion
is
volunteering
in
the
in
the
community,
primarily
in
the
north
greenwood
community,
and
tonight
I
just
want
to
extend
my
thanks
to
the
commission
and
or
the
council
on
your
continued
support
of
the
greenwood
panthers
and
you've
been
doing
that
since
1984,
and
it's
our
hope
that
we
continue
that
relationship
for
very
many
years
to
come.
D
D
That's
been
instrumental
also
in
supporting
the
greenville
panthers
over
the
years
so
far
as
with
solid
waste
and
general
services.
His
director
of
mr
earl
gloucester,
and
I
also
like
to
acknowledge
him
tonight,.
L
Good
evening
my
name
is
kathy
flaherty
and
I'm
here
tonight,
because
I
am
against
changing
the
name
and
the
purpose
of
the
space
being
developed
by
the
street
streetscape
phase
3
project
located
at
the
intersection
of
the
cleveland
street
and
gulf
today,
boulevard
in
the
east
gateway
downtown
area.
Since
2011
the
city
has
intended
to
have
a
hispanic
community
core
there.
The
idea
is
to
have
a
mercado,
a
public
market
space
inside
the
larger
festival
core.
A
primary.
A
preliminary
plan
was
developed
and
approved
by
the
cr
trustees
in
2017..
L
In
late
2017,
the
streetscape
project
was
paused
until
underground
utility
construction
plans
were
developed,
nothing
to
do
with
the
approved
market
design.
Then,
in
march
of
2020,
the
cra
and
city
staff
presented
a
new
conceptual
design
for
the
mercato,
though
the
design
had
significantly
less
features.
The
cra
trustees
approved
the
concept
and
instructed
the
cra
and
city
staff
to
produce
a
plan
that
reflected
the
hispanic
heritage
of
the
neighborhood
signage
for
the
mercado
is
even
installed
downtown.
L
I
kept
asking
the
city
street
state
project
manager,
ms
cochran,
for
the
finalized
mercado
design
and
in
may
of
2022.
She
responded
that
the
plan
was
was
infeasible.
Her
plan
was
to
pour
concrete
and
design
the
space
later.
I
did
not
like
this
plan
and
solicited
the
local
community
with
the
idea
to
have
grass
installed
until
a
feasible
community
plan
can
be
developed.
I
received
overwhelming
support
at
the
may
cra
meeting
when
I
asked
the
trustees
to
not
pour
concrete
but
to
install
grass
and
develop
a
community
driven
plan
when
the
space
actually
existed.
L
They
agreed.
Thankfully,
during
the
july
cra
meeting,
the
trustees
discussed
the
problem.
The
project
again,
the
interim
director,
mr
jennings,
and
trustee
miss
texararia,
said
that
they
talked
to
leaders
in
the
eastgate
community
group,
a
very
small
group
with
few
members
about
the
design
and
purpose
no
other
entity
was
mentioned.
Then,
at
the
august
cleveland
streetscape
quarterly
update
meeting
mess
cochran
as
project
manager
presented
a
new
design
to
a
small
group
of
attendees.
L
I
watched
the
video
of
her
presentation
and
no
mention
of
the
hispanic
community
was
spoken.
This
design
refers
to
the
space
as
the
festival
core
with
the
purpose
of
a
gathering
space.
The
space
has
been
renamed
and
a
new
purpose,
which
is
not
a
hispanic
community
center.
I
do
not
support
this
plan
for
any
group
or
person
that
would
marginalize
the
existing
hispanic
community.
I
apologize
if
I
facilitated
doing
that
in
any
way.
L
They
have
supported
my
business
for
the
past
15
years
and
I
want
to
support
them
tonight
asking
that
the
space's
purpose
be
kept
to
be
a
mercado
a
place
to
serve
as
a
hispanic
community
civic
corps
and
an
actual
community
driven
plan
be
developed
by
persons
that
respect
the
hispanic
community
and
the
purpose
of
the
space.
Thank
you
for
the
consideration.
A
Mr
jennings,
we
haven't
taken
any
action
to
change
the
name
from
mercano.
Have
we
no.
C
As
I
had
said
in
an
email
just
yesterday,
I
I
have
always
referred
to
it
as
the
mercado
there
were.
I
attended
a
meeting
some
months
ago
where
I
was
corrected
because
I
referred
to
it
as
the
mercado
every
every
time
ever
since
I've
been
here,
I
was
corrected
that
it
should
be
called
the
festival
corps,
but
there's
been
no
official
action
by
the
city
by
staff
or
anything.
So
we
consider
it
to
be
called
the
mikado.
So
that's
and
and
the
signage
is
up
you
know
the
wayfinding
is
hiding.
C
So
we
believe
that
it's
the
mercado
unless
the
council
wants
to
change
it,
which
I
don't
believe
you
do.
A
N
N
I
was
out
of
town
in
st
louis
and
we
did
a
ceremony
with
the
saint
louis
post's
fashion,
medal
of
honor
and
winner
sorry
made
her
quick
100
years
to
the
day
that
he
died
and
the
newspaper
article
is
syndicated
will
probably
trickle
down
in
this
region
and
it
talks
about
how
he
and
his
efforts
are
relevant
to
americans
today
and
the
response
to
9
11.
N
G
N
To
the
military,
they
would
recognize
as
a
pulitzer
prize
winner
72
years
to
this
day,
lieutenant
baldwin
lopez
from
tampa
was
killed
in
action
when
he
crossed
the
sea
wall
and
he
smothered
a
hand
grenade
to
save
his
platoon.
We
also
know
today
is
the
start
of
hispanic
month,
and
so
originally
there
was
going
to
be
I.
This
is
just
a
prototype.
N
I
have
a
real
good
frame
computerized
picture,
framed
that
was
supposed
to
present
to
the
mayor,
caster
in
tampa
and
councilman
louis
vieira
and
mr
memorial
smith,
and
especially
my
good
friend,
judge.
Salcines
all
worked
together
and
it
didn't
happen.
N
The
position
is
we're
only
going
to
recognize
baldy
every
five
years
well,
and
we
did
two
years
ago
so,
three
years
from
now,
I
might
even
be
dead.
So
in
the
meantime
we'll
be
putting
these
pictures
up
anywhere.
Anybody
wants
them,
so
the
clearwater
and
the
mayor
wants
one
before
tampa
gets
one.
That's
fine
with
me
and
I'd
be
remiss
judd.
Salcedas
is
only
one
of
71,
honorary
marines
ever
selected
by
the
common
island
marine
corps,
he's
up
there
with
gary
sinise
and
bugs
bunny.
N
Believe
it
or
not,
oh
so,
other
than
that
the
change
of
command
was
so
calm.
We
talked
about
the
constitution.
We
talk
about
these
meetings.
We
talk
about
us
meeting
places
like
that.
There
are
victories
for
our
constitution,
the
bill
of
rights
and
even
laws
like
possible,
where
we
can
get
together
in
mass
civilians
and
military,
a
lot
of
high
value
targets
that
have
literally
been
targeted
by
our
enemies,
including
kutz
who's
declared
central
command
and
its
affiliates,
which
I
guess
includes
me
as
terrorist
and
terrorist
organization
to
be
eliminated.
N
But
everything
went
well.
We
had
chief
slaughter,
clearwater's
finance
representing
them,
and
it
was
a
good
ceremony,
no
issues
nobody
clowning
around
and
that
in
itself
is
a
victory.
Just
as
we
we
hold
these
meetings
together,
we
are
upholding
constitution
of
what
our
forefathers
brought
to
us
so
other
than
that
I'll
just
have
to
wait
for
another
three
minutes.
O
Good
evening,
good
evening,
mayor
council,
mr
jennings
and
city
attorney,
sorry,
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
john
jennings
when
he
first
became
city
manager.
A
several
gentlemen
and
myself
spoke
with
him
about
an
alternative
way
that
the
city
of
clearwater
could
manage
the
clearwater
park.
That
alternative
is
very
simple.
That's
going
to
be
item
11.!
Oh
sorry,
I'm
speaking
on
against.
Q
Q
R
Don't
mind
me:
let's
see,
I
wanted
to
speak
about
the
increasing
and
the
utility
fee.
It's.
I
just
want
people
to
realize
it's
that
water
bill
that
comes
to
your
house
every
day,
I'm
talking
mostly
single
family,
because
I
live
in
a
single
family
home.
I
don't
know
what's
going
on
with
the
condo
rates,
but
anyway
it's
three
percent
for
the
next
five
years.
So
it's
three
percent
and
then
three
percent
on
that
total
three
percent
on
that
total.
So
it's
accumulative
over
the
next
five
years.
R
Also
that's
the
and
then
the
stormwater
fee
is
only
1.6
which
is
cumulative
over
the
next
five
years.
I
would
I
think,
as
I
to
my
knowledge,
16
million
dollars
was
taken
out
of
the
utility
fund
for
the
building
of
the
city
hall
and,
if
you,
if
we're
not
going
to
end
up
building
a
city
hall,
I
don't
know
what
the
boat's
going
to
be.
R
But
if
we
end
up
just
using
the
city
in
the
library,
the
city
hall,
I
would
like
to
see
that
16
million
dollars
that
was
taken
out
of
the
utility
fund
come
back
and
I
don't
think
that's
the
way
to
budget.
You
know
you
just
pull
money
in
out
of
a
utility
fund.
That's
our
money
that
we
put
in
there.
Basically
for
utilities,
not
for
building
a
city
hall.
Let's
see
was
that
was
there
another
item?
Well,
that's
it
for
now.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
A
U
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
kayleen
castle
budget
officer,
this
is
the
first
of
two
public
hearings
required
by
florida
statute
to
finalize
the
fiscal
year,
2223
operating
and
capital
improvement
budget
for
the
benefit
of
residents
present
or
watching.
I
have
a
presentation
which
gives
an
overview
of
the
budget
you're
approving.
U
U
This
slide

and
10.5
million
for
the
downtown
parking
garage,
circling
back
to
property
values
and
millage
rates.
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
how
this
millage
rate
affects
our
residents
here
in
clearwater,
with
an
example
of
city
taxes
on
homesteaded
property.
U
As
a
reminder,
the
taxable
value
is
the
value,
after
all,
exemptions
with
homestead
exemption,
save
our
homes
cap
limits,
the
increase
in
assessed
value
to
the
lesser
of
cpi
or
three
percent.
The
save
our
homes
cap
for
this
year
is
that
maximum
of
three
percent
with
this
cap,
the
assessed
values
of
homesteaded
properties,
cannot
increase
above
three
percent
on
a
home
with
a
2021
taxable
value
of
one
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
value
growth
for
tax
purposes
would
be
an
increase
of
three
thousand
dollars
for
a
new
taxable
value
of
one
hundred
and
three
thousand
dollars.
U
In
this
example,
city
taxes
would
increase
by
ten
dollars
and
sixty
six
cents
trim
notices
were
mailed
to
residents
in
august
these
notice.
These
notices
show
an
estimate
of
total
property
taxes
for
the
year
based
upon
all
all
agencies
proposed
millage
rates.
This
slide
represents
the
breakdown
of
that
total
bill
for
clearwater
residents.
Approximately
31
of
your
tax
bill
is
for
the
pinellas
county
school
board.
30
percent
is
in
support
of
pinellas
county
government
operations.
U
U
A
I
wish
we
were
lowering
the
millage
rate
even
further.
I
know
there's
not
support
for
that,
but
I
did
find
it
interesting.
The
times
did
publish
an
article.
I
think
it
was
this
past
sunday,
comparing
people
who've
lived
here
for
a
short
time
versus
those
who
have
lived
here
for
a
longer
period
of
time
and
the
differential,
the
differential
in
what
they're
paying
in
taxes,
same
houses
and
same
levels
of
service.
It's
just
was
good
to
see
because
I
think
it's
something
people
need
to
understand.

Mr
margolis,
we
have
ordinance
number
9614-22,
an
ordinance
of
the
city
of
clearwater
florida,
declaring
the
millage
rate
to
be
levied
for
the
fiscal
year,
beginning
october,
1st
2022
and
ending
september
30th

for
operating
purposes,
including
the
funding
of
pensions,
debt
service
and
road
maintenance
for
capital
improvement,
expenditures
at
5.8850
mills
providing
an
effective
date.
The
levy
of
5.8850
mills
constitutes
a
point:
nine
three
percent
increase
from
the
rolled
back
rate
of
five
point:
three:
five:
three
five
mills
mayor
with
your
permission,
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
read
the
next
one.
F
Now,
therefore,
be
it
ordained
by
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
clearwater
florida,
section
1.
It
is
hereby
determined
that
a
tax
of
5.8850
mills
against
the
non-exempt,
real
and
personal
property
within
the
city
is
necessary
to
raise
the
sums
to
be
appropriated
for
operation
purposes,
including
pensions,
death
service
and
road
capital
improvement
projects
for
the
fiscal
year.
Beginning
october,
1st
2022
section
2,
the
levy
of
5.8850
mills
constitutes
a
9.93
increase
from
the
rollback
rate
section
three.
The
ordinance
shall
take
effect
october
first
2022.
T
No,
that's
next!
That's
the
next
item.
Mayor
citizen
would
like
to
speak
to
the
item
before
we
close
the
vote.
I
just
did
not
understand
she
had
the
opportunity
that
the
floor
was
open.
R
So
I
hope
so
other
people
will
speak
to
this,
because
it's
very
important
this
is
our
budget
multi
millions
of
dollars.
I
would
like
to
say,
because
I
know
you
keep
bringing
up
about
those
of
us-
who've
lived
here
a
long
time
in
our
texas
or
less
than
other
people.
Well,
those
of
us
who
have
lived
here
a
long
time.
R
R
I
think
it
was
I'll
just
stay
in
my
house
I'll
continue
as
a
public
servant,
I'm
going
to
have
a
low
income.
I
know
that
I'll
do
the
best
I
can
to
save
from
my
old
age
which
I'm
in
right
now,
and
so
you
can't
compare
us
to
the
people.
Who've
come
here
from
new
york
and
not
to
mention
the
new.
You
know,
but
you
know
other
states
like
new
york,
california,
where
their
income
is
much
higher
they're
coming
here
with
higher
social
security
checks.
This
is
an
old
story.
R
You've
heard
this
a
million
times
we've
been
through
this.
You
know:
we've
had
this
conversation
for
the
last
50
years
that
I've
lived
here,
but
we
are
on
a
different
economy.
You've
got
two
economies
in
clearwater,
they've
got
the
economy
of
those
people
who
were
worked
here.
Our
whole
lives
bought
our
houses,
yes,
they
weren't
expensive
when
they
bought
them,
but
at
the
same
time,
our
interest
rates
in
1976
were
almost
nine
mine
was
eight
and
a
half
percent
and
they
they
went
up
progressively
each
street.
R
I
remember
by
the
last
street
the
interest
rate
was
up
to
11,
so
you
cannot
compare
us
to
the
people
that
have
moved
down
here
with
money
from
up
north
pensions
savings
and
they
buy
a
bigger
up.
You
know
a
big
house,
I
mean
that
just
they
know
what
they're
getting
into
but
we're
not.
We
can't
compete
with
that.
That
is
why
many
people
end
up
leaving
because
they
say
I
just
can't
can't
afford
the
same
clearwater
anymore.
That's
why
they
passed
save
our
homes.
I
remember
when
it
was
passed.
R
R
A
A
I
think
it
is
still
important
that
people
understand
it
is
a
benefit,
it's
legal,
but
you
can
live
next
door
to
a
neighbor
who
is
new
and
they
could
be
paying
four
or
five
times
as
much
and
mr
slaughter
is
going
to
be
there
in
the
same
amount
of
time
and
you
get
the
same
libraries
and
the
same
rec
centers,
and
I
just
think
that
ought
to
be
understood.
We
have
to
represent
everybody,
the
people
who
are
new
and
the
people
who
are
old
as
far
as
living
here
miss
lanza.
I
will
have
you
removed.
U
I
went
over
the
details.
I
went
over
in
detail
the
changes
from
preliminary
to
this
final
proposal
for
adoption
with
you
on
monday.
If
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
additional
questions,
you
have.
H
Well,
I
it's
not
exactly
a
question,
but
it's
a
comment
and
I'd
like
some
guidance
from
us.
H
This
interest
was
earned
because
we
have
not
spent
those
arpa
funds
in
the
year
and
a
half
plus
that
we've
had
them.
So
we
need
to
keep
this
money
attached
to
the
federal
funds
that
were
allocated
to
us.
They
were
not
local
taxpayer
funds,
they
are
not
property
tax
funds,
so
we
need
to
maximize
the
purposes
for
which
these
funds
were
allocated.
H
So
those
161
000
plus
funds
can
go
to
arpa
compliant
projects
and
when
we
start
getting
grant
requests
from
members
of
our
community,
every
little
bit
will
help.
I've
talked
to
a
number
of
people
this
week
miss
j
hinson
with
arts
for
life.
I've
talked
to
the
people
that
work
with
the
going
home
coalition.
We
had
a
meeting
this
week
about
funds
that
are
used
to
send
people
who
are
struggling
with
homelessness
back
to
families
that
might
be
in
different
parts
of
the
country
and
they
have
a
good
success
rate.
H
So
anyway,
there
are
lots
of
programs
out
there
that
can
use.
You
know
any
bit
of
that
hundred
and
sixty
one
thousand
plus,
as
as
our
interest
accrues.
So
I
just
think
it's
real
prudent
to
keep
that
money
there,
and
I
know
that
there
was
a
question
brought
up
about
the
parameters
on
arpa
funds
and
what
we
can
spend
them
on,
and
those
parameters
are
incredibly
broad,
very
broad.
I
wouldn't
use
that
as
an
excuse
not
to
put
them
in
an
arpa
interest
fund,
arpa
fund
interest
bucket.
G
M
U
Correct
and
for
budget
purposes
on
like
this
ordinance,
it
really
doesn't
change
anything.
We
budget
an
estimate
of
revenues
based
on
you,
know
the
money
that
is
in
the
bank,
and
it
would
be
in
those
budget
in
those
specific
specific
funds,
and
then
we
would
just
move
it
to
a
project,
and
we
would
do
that
at
an
amendment
next
year.
A
H
U
The
majority,
so
it's
in
so
far
it's
been
in
the
special
program
fund,
which
the
revenues
stay
in
the
special
program
fund
and
it
stays
like
at
fund
level,
except
where
we
are
required
to
put
it.
You
know
like
there
are
certain
grants
that
we
we
apply
the
interest
to
so
right
now
it
stays
in
that
fund
and
we
can
amend
it
next
year.
U
We
can,
you
know
it
would
be
prior
year
at
that
point,
but
we
can
still
make
those
moves
as
part
of
the
amendment
process
next
year
to
move
it
from
fund
balance
to
a
specific
project
so
upon
you
know
your
future
direction.
It
wouldn't
change
what
you're
adopting
today.
That
would
be
absolutely
like
an
amendment
next
year.
G
However,
we
would
need
to
wait
on
the
amendment
until
the
first
quarter,
so
we
can
have
a
conversation
and
and
have
an
ordinance
and
pass
all
of
it,
but
it
wouldn't
reflect
in
the
budget
until
first
quarter,
where
you
would
then
pass
the
first
quarter
budget
amendment.
So.

Good
evening,
gina
clayton
planning
and
development,
the
request
before
use
to
amend
the
future
land
use
designation
of
two
areas:
approximately
0.89
acres
from
the
residential
urban
plan
category
to
the
institutional
category.
These
areas
are
part
of
a
larger
41,
acre
site
owned
and
occupied
by
the
clearwater.
Excuse
me,
the
calvary,
baptist
church.
The
purpose
of
this
plan
amendment
is
to
enable
the
church
to
incorporate
this
land
into
their
campus.
The
northern
course
parcel
will
be
used
as
part
of
a
parking
lot
and
the
one
on
the
south
will
be
used
for
storm
water
retention.
W
The
surrounding
area
is
characterized
by
mostly
institutional
uses.
School
athletic
fields
and
office
uses
are
located
to
the
west,
the
churches,
to
the
north
mcmullen
booth
to
the
east,
and
there
are
some
remaining
single-family
homes
in
the
area
as
well.
The
surrounding
future
land
use
categories
include
institutional
and
residential
urban,
as
outlined
in
the
staff
report.
The
proposed
plan
category
is
consistent
with
the
surrounding
area,
will
not
degrade
the
level
of
city
services
and
meets
the
standards
for
comprehensive
plan
amendments
set
forth
in
the
community
development
code.

their
request
is
to
rezone
them

The
proposed
institutional

is
consistent
with
the

X
Evening
soon,
good
evening,
council,
my
name
is
jeremy
brown,
I'm
an
engineering
manager.
This
is
this
item
is
32
million,
and
so
we
thought
we'd
prepare
a
presentation
to
help
you
and
the
public
understand
why
we
need
it
and
and
to
help.
You
know,
provide
some
more
information
about
it.
Basically,.
X
We
refer
to
it
as
the
2023
sewer
point
repairs
project.
There
are
six
different
components
to
it.
Tonight:
we're
going
to
go
over
a
little
bit
about
an
overview,
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
background
briefly
mention
a
master
plan
and
it's
recommendations,
we'll
test
a
little
a
little
program
overview
and
then
a
quick
summary
and
some
questions.
If
you
have
any
so,
the
public
utilities
department
they
own
and
operate
our
utility
systems,
and
what
does
that
mean?
X
Well,
there's
44
supply
wells,
there's
the
water
that
goes
to
one
of
three
treatment
plants.
It
is
then
distributed
to
our
residents
and
customers
from
there.
It
becomes
wastewater
and
it
goes
into
our
collection
system
and
that's
going
to
be.
The
focus
of
tonight's
discussion
afterwards
is
conveyed
to
one
of
our
three
water
reclamation
facilities
and
then,
after
that,
we
distribute
reclaimed
water
to
to
our
customers.
X
G
X
X
Renewal
and
replacement-
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
isn't
capacity
upgrades
this
isn't
new
pipes,
this
isn't
new
designs.
This
is
this
is
merely
replacing
what's
already
there
rehabilitating
it.
I
want
to
highlight
you
know
by
2030.
The
consultants
were
recommending
about
160
million
dollars
worth
of
work.
It's
a
lot
of
work
right,
there's
327
by
2050,
and
so
you
know
we're
tasked
with
trying
to
accomplish
that
and
and
so
here's
a
little
further
breakdown
of
to
the
different
components
within
the
collection
system
itself.
X
Obviously
you
can
see.
There's
about
100
million
dollars
is
the
focus
of
of
the
recommendations
and
those
are
associated
with
our
gravity
needs.
So
again,
how
do
we
get
all
this
work
done?
Well,
what
we
did
is
we
came
up
with
what
we
thought
think
is
an
innovative
approach
to
it.
We
developed
the
program
and
so
a
little
over
a
year
ago
we
hired
a
consultant
and
you
can
see
them
up
top
in
the
blue
bubble.
X
X
Done
that
is
being
recommended,
and
so
so
yeah,
so
we
hire
the
contractor,
and
the
focus
today
is
going
to
be
on
just
these
items
right
here
and
so
now
that
we
have
a
consultant
on
board.
We
can
scale
up,
I
guess
I'll,
add
we
have
a
project
right
now
that
has
these
same
components.
X
This
is
group
a
it's
a
cured
and
place
pipe.
We
basically
put
a
structural
liner
inside
of
an
existing
pipe.
You
can
see
on
the
right
there.
Roots
and
vegetation
can
get
into
a
lot
of
our
clay
pipes
and
they
can
crack
them,
and
so
this
is
a
this
is
a
good
way
of
rehabilitating
the
pipe
without
actually
excavating.
X
As
you
can
see,
this
is
this
is
some
of
our
point.
This
is
one
of
our
breaks
that
we
had
that
we
had
to
manage,
and
so
what
this
contract
allows
us
to
do
is
we
have
a
contractor
that
can
mobilize
and
make
repairs
on
a
24
hours
as
needed
basis,
there's
a
group
d,
cleanouts
and
lateral
installation
where
we
install
new
laterals
for
service
connections
and
replace
existing
lines
that
have
defects.
X
There's
a
group
e.
This
is
manhole
surfacing
where
the
contractor
applies
a
coating
to
the
inside
of
a
manhole
to
extend
its
longevity
and
also
prevent
groundwater
from
leaking
into
the
manhole.
These
old
brick
manholes
the
mortar
there
wears
out
over
time
that
water
can
kind
of
seep
in
through
it
and
then
finally,
group
f
smoking
dye
testing.
X
X
So,
in
summary,
six
individual
contracts,
they
total
32
million
dollars.
This
is
a
preventative
and
proactive
approach
to
it.
We're
going
to
bring
each
bring
these
back
to
council
each
year
for
for
funds
for
the
following
year
and
we're
going
to
identify
all
the
work
that
we
accomplished
in
the
prior
year
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
respond
to
any
questions.
X
J
More
or
less
a
comment
than
a
question
you
know
I've
always
been
proud
that
clearwater
has
been
very
proactive
on
this
kind
of
thing.
So
when
this
came
before
me
and
the
amount
of
the
you
know
of
the
contract,
I
that's
why
I
wanted
to
have
this
the
public
understand.
J
You
know
what
we
do.
We,
we
really
do
a
better
job
than
any
of
the
municipalities
around
us
on
taking
care
of
our
infrastructure,
and
this
goes
way
back.
You
know,
if
you
look
in
the
paper,
you'll
see
saint
pete,
you
see
all
these
municipalities
around
us
have
these
breaks
and
because
they
never
look
at
it,
it's
underground,
and
you
know
we
make
an
effort.
This
is
this
is
a
big
effort
to
take
care
of
that
proactively.
So
we
don't
have
those
spills
yeah.
A
Well,
underground
infrastructure
is
not
sexy
until
it
doesn't
work
and
we've
seen
the
tragedy.
That's
been
going
on
in
jackson,
mississippi
recently,
where
you
know
they
literally
cannot
drink
water
out
of
their
tap.
We
take
it
for
granted
in
this
country
that
we
have
clean
water
and
we
need
to
keep
up
with
the
infrastructure.
S
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
say
we
all
had
sticker
shock
when
we
saw
that
32
million,
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
have
these
great
one-on-ones
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
we're
when
you
say
we're
ramping
up,
we're
doing
substantially
more
work
now,
with
with
this
extra
money,
we're
we're
going
to
get
much
more
done
correct,
so
the
factor
of
two
or
three
times
correct.
Yes,.
X
Z
A
X
Y
X
With
a
different
project,
but
not
this
particular
one,
these
are
these
are
as
needed
contractors
that
once
we
identify
work
as
needed
through
the
the
television
cameras
that
I
showed
you
there,
they
go
and
they'll
inspect
the
pipes,
they'll
identify
defect
and
then
we
have
a
contract
to
come
out
and
replace
them.
So
this
is
this
is
purely
replacing
our
existing
infrastructure,
but
the
manhole
covers.
AA
AA
X
AB
Good
afternoon
council,
I
just
got
a
question
in
reference
to
this.
You
know
huge
amount
of
money
for
utilities.
Is
this
going
to
also
cover
the
sinkholes
that
you
know
the
sewer
had
actually
covered
or
actually
caused
in
our
streets?
AB
R
Okay,
my
name's
lisa
lanza.
I'm
gonna
give
you
a
little
history
on
my
street.
We
had
we've
been
having
for
the
last
10
years,
holes
and
you
know
I'm
home,
and
so
I'm
watching
them-
and
I
know
they're
sewer
pipes
and
the
city
told
me
for
quite
a
while.
Oh
no,
those
are
stormwater
pipes,
don't
worry
about
it,
but
then
finally
got
somebody
to
come
out
with
the
maps
and
we
have
no
stormwater.
R
We
have
no
stormwater
pipes
on
our
street
they're,
all
sewer
pipes,
which
proves
that
the
sewer
pipes
have
been
cracking
for
years
and
then
causing
holes.
So
I
pleaded
with
the
city
wrote
so
many
emails
called-
and
this
was
before
mr
jennings
came
to
please
come
out
and
test
smoke
test
our
streets
before
you
paved
because
we
haven't
had
our
streets
paved.
R
I
mean
I've
lived
in
the
same
house
since
1978
and
from
what
I
recall
one
time
before
this
recent
time,
and
I
pleaded
please
come
out
and
before
you
pave
and
do
smoke
testing
it
never
happened.
I
mean
I
was
at
the
I
stopped
in
the
various
city
offices.
I
mean
it
was
a
real
pain.
I
stopped
here
and
there
and
they
were
all
like.
I
don't
know
I
don't
know,
but
anyway
the
street
got
paid
and
they
never
tested
the
sewer
pipes.
R
So
now,
when
you,
you
know,
we
still
have
that
one
across
the
street.
That's
a
little
bit
a
little
sagging
again.
So
this
kind
of
goes
back
to
what
muhammad
was
saying,
but
I
do
want
to
say
it's
because
of
illegal
women
voters
in
the
early
late
1980s
and
early
1990s,
we
had
natural
resources
committee.
I
was
on
it.
R
We
did
a
two
year
stormwater
study,
and
we
were
the
reason
that
the
stormwater
fee
was
first
adopted
at
three
dollars
and
it
was
a
very
long
haul
and
it
was
not
a
popular
thing,
but
we
did
due
to
our
research,
the
league
of
member
voters.
That
is
why
we
became
one
of
the
first
cities
in
the
state
of
florida
to
adopt
a
stormwater
fee
and
I'm
very
proud
of
clearwater
for
that
and
the
league
of
women
voters.
Thank
you.
A
X
Yeah
there
is
a
prior
question,
though,
about
sinkholes
and
fixing
the
surface
and
part
of
the
contract.
Is
it's
not
just
to
repair
the
pipe
it's
to
rehabilitate
the
road
that,
if
it's
impacted
at
all,
as
I
mentioned
one
of
the
groups
we're
allowed
to,
we
can
line
a
pipe
without
actually
doing
any
excavation,
but
if
there
is,
we
certainly
patch
it
and
replace
the
surface.
X
The
second
one
about
slope
testing
before
we
pave
that
that
is
part
of
the
contract.
Here,
that's
one
of
the
sections
that
we're
asking
you
to
approve,
so
we
can
be
more
proactive
and
going
throughout
the
city.
We
have
a
plan
to
try
to
get
about.
50
percent
of
the
city
done
in
the
first
year
we're
trying
to
get
really
proactive
about
it,
but
I've
also
had,
though,
that
you
know
there:
it's
not
always
a
sewer
storm
water,
there's
a
lot
of
other
utilities
underneath
the
ground
there's
also
different
geotechnical
and
soil
conditions.
M
Motion
to
approve
agenda
11.2
second,.
AC
Thank
you
miss
call
good
evening,
mayor
council,
tara,
kivit
engineering
director
this
work
order,
professional
services
agreement
covers
the
efforts
and
work
necessary
to
design
new
city
hall.
The
scope
includes
an
update
to
the
previous
space
needs
analysis,
numerous
concept,
designs,
moving
to
construction
documents
permitting
and
full
construction
administration
services
through
the
end
of
the
project.
AC
H
As
as
we
move
forward
because
it's
a
15-month,
long
design
phase,
can
we
expect
maybe
every
other
month
or
every
three
months
and
update
on
where
we
are
with
the
design?
And
you
know
just
a
regular
update
as
we
go
along.
AC
C
Certainly,
the
we
will
be,
I'm
not
sure,
it'll
be
every
other
month
because
not
a
lot
gets,
you
know
it's,
but
there
will
be
periodic
updates
with
the
council
and
certainly
so.
You
can
see
kind
of
the
progress
that's
being
made.
A
Thank
you
for
the
budget,
comparisons
that
were
asked
for,
unfortunately,
we're
one
of
the
big
ones,
but
I
would
also
point
out
that
largo
and
dunedin's
variance
was
pretty
significant
largo
going
from
58
million
to
76
million
and
dunedin
from
12.7
to
23
8,
which
was
a
23.68
and
a
46.64.
A
A
A
I
believe
that
we
could
put
a
joint
city
hall
library
in
this
facility.
We
already
have
meetings
here.
I
think
it
could
be
done
for
between
two
to
four
million
dollars
and
save
upwards
of
30
million,
and
I
think
that
money
could
either
be
saved
or
used
for
other,
more
important
things
that
citizens
utilize
on
a
daily
basis.
You
know
when
this
library
was
originally
built
and
I
think
miss
obermeyer
must
think
I
just
hate
libraries
and
I
do
not
jennifer.
I.
A
I
want
you
to
know
that
I
just
think
they've
changed
between
now
and
1999
when
this
library
was
originally
envisioned.
I
just
think
libraries
have
changed.
I
know
I
don't
have
support
for
this,
but
I
still
think
it's
a
mistake
and
as
soon
as
we
sign
this
contract
for
architectural
fees,
then
we
are
committed
to
building
a
new
city
hall
and
I
just
think
there's
more
creative
ways.
We
can
solve
the
problem.
So
anyone
from
the
public
like
to
speak
to
this
item.

T
P
Good
evening,
mayor
council,
eric
gandy
marine
and
aviation
director,
I
think
quite
a
few
people
are
out
here
this
evening
to
speak
to
this,
and
I
think
it's
important
for
me
to
provide
a
little
background
for
their
edification
and
to
speak
to
the
public
on
this.
The
clearwater
airport's
been
its
current
location
in
a
variety
of
forms
for
80
years
in
the
60s
50s
60s
neighborhoods
built
up
around
that
area
and
for
the
past
22
years
it's
been
operated
under
a
lease
agreement
with
clearwater
air
park
inc
over
that
22
years.
P
Fluid
air
park
has,
you
know,
managed
that
airport
under
conditions
that
the
city
authorized
22
years
ago
and
that
leased
terms
november
30th.
Accordingly,
we
initially
started
looking
at
the
option
to
extend
the
lease
for
a
year
while
we
investigated
opportunities
and
just
to
try
and
see
what
public
sector
interest
was
out
there.
P
I
had
an
airport
advisory
board
meeting
subsequent
to
that
time
and
immediately
after
that
airport
advisory
board
meeting.
When
I
indicated
that
we
may
extend
the
lease,
I
started
getting
input
public
input,
neighborhood
input,
interested
firms
and
individuals
with
ideas
on
management
structures
for
that
air
park.
P
I
think
when
I
read
this,
it'll
put
it
in
perspective
for
those
that
are
here
and
those
that
may
be
watching.
The
city's
goal
is
to
continue
to
support
the
general
aviation
community,
while
maximizing
opportunities
to
activate
the
facility
with
operations
that
emphasize
flight
and
neighborhood
safety.
P
Certainly,
we
published
that
rfp
and
we
had
four
responses.
We
had
an
rfp
committee.
It
was
very
diverse
committee,
made
up
of
individuals
throughout
city
departments
with
a
variety
of
backgrounds,
engineering,
economic
development,
marine
initiation,
the
presentations
and
the
or
the
responses
and
presentations
were
evaluated
in
august
and
on
both
occasions,
the
committee
united
unanimously
recommended
flight
usa
as
the
entity
to
negotiate
with,
and
I
think
this
is
important
to
remember,
generally
speaking,
that
committee's
decision
results
in
negotiations.
P
P
I
didn't
do
it
to
put
you
guys
on
the
spot,
and
I
want
to
reassure
you
of
that,
but
what
I
will
tell
you
is
that
the
committee
makes
these
decisions
in
a
silo.
We
review
the
proposals,
we
review
the
presentations
and
we
review
them
on
face
value.
You
guys
have
the
difficult
task
of
evaluating
in
the
court
of
public
opinion
and
in
situations
where
they
impact
the
surrounding
area.
I
truly
believe
that
the
respondent
in
this
case
fly
usa,
put
forth
a
plan
that
allows
us
to
capitalize
some
things.
P
It
addresses
some
of
the
concerns
over
intensity
and
may
trade
less
intensive
activity
for
a
more
intensive.
But
what
I
will
tell
you
tonight
is
in
my
conversations
with
folks
about
this
thing:
each
user
group,
each
individual,
has
a
different
dog
in
the
height
there's
a
different
angle,
there's
a
different
user
group
that
may
be
impacted
one
way
or
the
other
so
that
can't
be
lost
during
this
process
either.
I
think
that
I've
seen
it
I've
spoken
to
enough
people
that
there's
competing
needs
and
competing
ideas
about
this.
So
I
have
fly
usa
here
tonight.
P
We're
prepared
to
answer
even
more
questions
that
this
council
may
pose
to
us,
but
at
the
end
of
all
of
it,
I'm
here
to
to
request
your
permission
to
negotiate
with
fly
usa,
so
I'll,
take
a
seat
and
allow
the
public
to.
A
Speak
to
this
we
also
have
mr
kang
here,
who
is
the
current
fbo?
Mr
gandy,
I
want
to
thank
you.
I
you've
inherited
two
one
department
with
two
different
functions
and
I
think
you've
done
a
marvelous
job,
so
the
air
park
has
always
been
difficult.
A
Having
gone
back
to
2002,
when
I
first
got
elected,
I
mean
you
know
the
the
air
park's
been
there
for
over
90
years,
so
everything
grew
around.
It
used
to
be
gladiola
farms
out
there
and
the
residential
grew
around
it,
and
I
remember
when
we
had
some
tragedies
you
know
at
the
airpark
in
the
early
2000s
and
it
wasn't
due
to
the
air
park.
A
It
was
due
to
mechanical
and
pilot
error
and
other
things
and,
and
so
I've
seen
the
ups
and
downs
at
the
airport,
and
I
think
there
are
a
bunch
of
different
competing
interests,
folks
with
different
priorities.
So
it's
never
easy.
So
I
want
to
thank
you.
You
know
for
your
work
on
this
whole
project.
A
AA
Siren
bleeding
from
your
chair
back
there,
but
anyway
my
name
is
bob
freyr.
I
am
american
airlines
pilot
a
captain
on
a
787
based
out
of
miami.
I
have
over
30
000
flight
hours,
47
years
flying
and
I'm
in
my
38th
year
with
the
airline,
I'm
also
a
little
airplane
pilot,
and
I
love
little
airplanes.
AA
So
it's
much
like
787,
I,
like
my
152,
just
as
much.
I
just
learned
of
this
issue
just
a
couple
weeks
ago,
so
I
wasn't,
you
know,
trying
to
catch
up
with
everything.
AA
AA
That
is
a
real
danger.
I
can
tell
you
fly
usa's
plan
appears
to
be
structured
around
turboprop
charter
service.
AA
That's
the
reason
for
the
big
corporate
fbo
and
the
crew
car
and
the
lounges,
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
and
it
appears
to
be
a
more
of
a
businessman's
air
park
airport-
is
what
they
want
to
make
it
not
a
general
aviation
field,
the
talks
of
a
restaurant,
it's
just
not
viable
on
a
small
business.
I
you
know
we.
Y
AA
Hundreds
of
pilots
that
go
through
our
training
center
in
charlotte,
we
couldn't
make
one
work
there,
there's
just
not
enough
business
high
value
customers.
I
heard
them
from
the
12th
meeting
to
define
two
different
ways
from
fly.
Usa
is
nicer
airplanes
and
kind
of
more
money
coming
in
that
way,
and
mr
candy
talked
about
getting
rid
of
derelict
airplanes.
AA
What
they
really
are
is
rich
people
that
need
to
get
from
a
to
b
and
they're
going
to
charter
an
airplane.
That's
that's!
What
high
value
customers
are.
Electric
airplane
talk
is
just
trends,
trendy
sales
they're
decades
away
minimum
from
happening.
So
this
whole
green
thing.
I
heard
talk
of
lpb
approaches.
AA
I
don't
have
a
problem
at
all
with
approaches.
Quite
frankly,
if
they
were
to
have
this
operation,
I'd
be
more
comfortable
flying
on
the
day
when
it
was
300
overcast
than
the
bright
sunny
day,
because
that's
when
the
little
planes
are
going
to
be
out
with
the
big
planes
when
it's
overcast,
it's
going
to
be
the
guys
that
are
shooting
approaches.
Only.
AA
AA
What's
the
goal,
is
it
supposed
to
be
for
profit?
Is
it
a
place
to
provide
a
service
for
the
citizens
of
the
county?
You
got
22
seconds
or
is
it
meant
to
be?
Does
it
have
to
be
funded
totally
from
whoever's
there?
Can
you
contribute
anyway,
I'm
against
it
under
its
current
form
and
absolutely
at
the
bare
minimum?
We
cannot
lose
any
more
hangers
in
this
county
period.
They
need
to
add
them.
There's
a
waiting
list
for
years
and
years
to
get
into
a
hangar.
A
AA
O
Down:
let's,
let's
try
again,
yes,
sir
good
evening.
Mr
mayor
council,
members
margo,
I
don't
know
your
first
name
city
attorney
marcos,
I'm
here
to
talk
in
opposition
to
11.4
and
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
idea
that
the
city
do
an
rfp
and
we
then
we
assess
the
airport
in
any
way
the
airport
in
any
way.
I'm
opposed
to
the
way
this
was
done.
O
I
think
it
caught
a
lot
of
people
by
surprise
you're,
going
to
hear
from
a
lot
of
people
who
are
going
to
say
I
heard
about
this
yesterday
kind
of
things.
This
is
not
the
kind
of
thing
that
needs
to
be
done
that
quickly.
You
have
an
operator.
There
he's
been
there
for
22
years.
If
you
want
him
there
for
another
year
or
half
a
year
or
whatever,
there's
nothing.
That
would
stop
that
from
happening.
As
far
as
I
know
david's
here
to
speak
to
that,
but
I'm
proposing
something
entirely
different
and
it's
entirely
different.
O
Only
in
the
sense
that
it's
the
way
every
city-owned
airport
in
this
state
is
done.
The
city
operates
the
airport,
the
city
rents,
the
city-owned
property.
Hangars
are
city-owned
property.
Tie-Downs
of
city-owned
property-
it's
not
done
by
an
fbo
fbos,
are
typically
contractors
to
do.
Services
like
sell
the
fuel
maintain
the
aircraft
do
flight
instruction
provide
services,
but
the
actual
public
property
is
managed
by
the
public
entity
that
owns
it,
the
city,
and
that
is
without
exception.
O
Now
I've
heard
that
that's
not
practical
here,
but
there's
no
explanation,
not
only
why
it's
not
practical,
but
why
it's
not
preferable.
I
use
some
numbers
that
came
from
the
rfp.
Actually,
there
was
a
an
appraisal
in
that
rfp
and
you
all
have
page
85
from
that.
That's
your
appraisal
and
unfortunately
it
didn't
really
reduce
things
to
simple
numbers.
So
I
did
the
math
and
looked
at
what
it
was
saying.
O
That
number
is
a
little
ambitious,
but
I'm
not
going
to
argue
with
your
study
other
than
to
say
that
I
think
if
you
took
a
close
look
at
it,
you'd
see
the
number
would
be
a
little
lower
than
that,
but
what
the
city
realizes
now
from
the
hangar
rental
part
of
this
deal,
it's
nowhere
near
that
number,
and
it
could
be
that
number.
So,
the
city,
the
airport,
rather
is
pretty
much
max
maxed
out,
there's
no
room
for
more
planes
in
the
t,
hangers
there's
no
more
room.
O
A
AD
Well,
my
name
is
donald
cocker.
I've
lived
in
pinellas
county
all
my
life
and
I've
been
a.
AD
Airplane
owner
at
the
airport
there
for
20
years
and
today's
the
first
time
I
heard
about
this-
I
I
heard
that
it
was
up
for
renewal
because
I
asked
them
about
our
christmas
party,
which
we
didn't
have
because
of
covid,
and
they
said
well.
AD
Well,
anyway,
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
mention
before
I
forget
it.
The
invocation
tonight
was
the
best
invocation
I've
ever
heard
at
a
public
meeting.
You
guys
should
take
note
of
that.
Every
time
you
make
a
decision
what
he
said.
So
the
thing
is:
if
it
ain't
broke,
don't
fix
it.
AD
What
we
have
there
now
is
working
fine.
Now
I've
heard
from
different
people
that
live
around
there,
that
they
they
don't
like
the
the
the
training
going
on.
AD
Well,
I
say
the
airport
was
there
before
they
moved
there,
so
they
should
have
took
that
into
account
when
they
moved
there,
and
I
say
you
should
go
on
the
way
it
is.
We
don't
need
it
for
just
a
place
for
rich
people.
I
was
involved
with
saban
albert
wooded
airport
and
the
mayor
down.
AD
AE
Okay,
I
hope
I
can
get
through
all
this
in
three
minutes:
kelly
o'donnell,
clearwater
resident-
while
you
know
me
as
the
chair
for
the
city's
airpark
advisory
board,
I'm
here
now
as
a
resident
of
the
city
of
clearwater
and
user
of
the
clearwater
airpark
slots
for
my
own
do
not
represent
that
of
the
board.
I
live
under
the
flight
path
to
the
beach
and
for
those
aircraft
coming
back
from
it.
AE
One
of
my
favorite
things
to
do
besides
flying
myself
is
to
be
in
my
pool
looking
up
determining
if
I
know
who
that
is
up
flying.
Even
if
I
don't
know
the
student
personally,
I
know
which
aircraft
are
the
flight
schools
and
I'm
excited
to
see
the
need
for
more
pilots
being
filled,
while
many
do
not
think
of
helicopters
as
much
for
training.
These
pilots
also
need
some
place
to
train
and
fulfill
jobs
such
as
air
ambulance,
news
gathering,
pipeline
patrol,
etc.
AE
There
are
minimal
options
of
where
helicopter
pilots
can
get
trained
and
I
think,
having
helicopter
training
here
highlights
clearwater
airport
as
a
destination.
Therefore,
I
think
we
should
keep
all
flight
school
operations
as
is,
but
I'm
open
to
not
increasing
from
what
they
are.
Currently,
this
includes
maintaining
flight
school
being
open
seven
days
a
week,
including
weekends,
although
I
am
open
to
hearing
about
it
being
closed
on
major
holidays,
because
everybody
wants
time
to
spend
with
friends
and
family.
AE
To
me,
the
air
park
is
its
own
unique
neighborhood,
a
place
where
families
have
grown
up,
including
a
local
retired
astronaut
who
also
completed
her
flight
training
there.
I
think
people
forget
about
the
long-standing
community.
That's
within
the
airpark,
some
things
to
keep
in
mind.
The
airpark
currently
employs
approximately
50
employees,
including
the
flight
school
and
the
maintenance.
I
would
like
to
see
these
employees
offer
an
option
for
retainment
if
they
desire
under
a
new
lease
since
at
least
2001.
The
ea
chapter
has
flown
over
2
000
young
eagles
on
free
introductory
flights.
AE
AE
Approximately
one
million
dollars
for
local
residents
with
developmental
disabilities
base
for
the
civil
air
patrol
base
for
ea
chapter
282,
who
not
only
provide
these
young
eagles
flights
but
facility
tours
for
local
students,
including
those
from
the
national
aviation
academy,
based
for
the
99's
international
organization
of
women,
pilots,
florida
suncoast
chapter,
who
have
introduced
hundreds
of
girl
scouts
to
aviation,
resulting
in
their
aviation
badges
earned.
These
types
of
events
should
continue
to
be
encouraged
and
better
advertised
by
the
city.
AE
With
single-engine
pistons
making
up
approximately
90
percent
of
the
tenants,
there's
been
a
shade
t-hanger
wait
list
for
the
past
20
years
that
is
currently
up
to
150
people
with
multiple
people
calling
every
day
to
inquire
about
the
list
and
being
added
to
it.
There's
only
approximately
five
people
on
the
corporate
hangar
wait
list.
I
again
stress
the
council
to
prioritize
building
new
shade
or
t-hangers
versus
corporate
hangers,
and
I
can
send
you
thank
you.
Miss
o'donnell.
AF
Good
evening
everybody,
my
name
is
david
king
and
I
wasn't
planning
on
speaking
tonight,
but
I
only
have
a
couple
of
suggestions
about
the
air
park
and
I
think
they're
going
to
be
helpful
for
everybody.
The
one
thing,
let
me
just
say
this
first
thanks
for
letting
me
be
there
for
22
years.
We
love
this
place,
it's
a
great
little
airport,
a
lot
of
good
people
and
most
of
them
don't
have
a
lot
of
money.
AF
Contrary
to
what
people
think
about
people
that
fly
planes,
I
mean
I
have
people,
we
have
carried
them
on
their
rent
because
they
couldn't
pay
it.
I've
loaned
the
air
park
money
when
we
didn't
have
money,
it's
a
great
place,
but
I
am
not
opposed
to
the
change
and
I
understand
mr
gandy
and
your
guy's
problem
about
the
money's
got
to
come
from
somewhere.
I
mean
we've
made
improvements,
not
as
many
as
we
want.
Some
people
have
different
visions
for
the
air
park.
AF
AF
I
can
show
you
untold
problems
of
people
crashing
and
it's
just
it's.
I
told
the
committee
before
one
will
be
too
many.
We
can't
we've
already
had
a
couple.
People
have
died,
it's
terrible,
but
we
haven't
had
a
big
one.
If
we
have
one
of
these
corporate
jets
collide
with
a
small
plane-
god
forbid
I
mean
we're
not
going
to
live
with
ourselves.
So
take
the
time
investigate
it
spend
a
little
bit
of
money.
The
other
part
of
it
is,
and
I'm
not.
AF
This
is
nothing
against
anybody
here,
but
we
have
people
on
the
committee
and
people
here
making
decisions
about
airplanes.
I
don't
think
anybody
flies.
I
don't
think
anybody
understands
what
we're
talking
about
we're
talking
about
planes
going
hundreds
of
miles
an
hour
carrying
people
mixing
in
with
new
student
pilots
in
the
same
place.
AF
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
be
here
for
22
years.
If
I
don't
get
to
stay,
it's
okay,
it's
been
a
hell
of
a
ride
and
if
I
don't
stay,
I
have
suggestions
about
the
new
lease
that
will
make
the
neighbors
happy
and
make
everything
safer,
and
I
do
it
for
free.
I
will
help
you
as
much
as
I
can.
Thank
you.
Thank.
P
R
I
am
lisa
lonza.
I
drafted
this
letter
to
the
airport
advisory
board,
but
I
never
got
a
chance
to
send
it,
but
it's
about
the
money
I
mean.
All
I
hear
from
everybody
is
where
we
going
to
get
the
money,
there's
no
money.
How
are
we
going
to
fix
this
airport
so
I'm
going
to
have
to
kind
of
move
through
this
draft
letter.
R
But
okay,
I
sent
some
links
to
different
places
and
I'm
not
going
to
read
the
links,
but
the
above
article
is
just
one
of
many
articles
that
can
be
found
on
the
internet
as
an
example
of
the
many
methods,
the
city
of
clearwater
and
pinellas
county
have
used
historically
to
fund,
for
example
the
clearwater
marine
aquarium.
Did
you
know
that
mayor
hibbard
has
served
as
a
member
of
the
clearwater
marine
aquarium
board
of
directors?
R
Mayor
hibbert
also
has
served
as
the
chair
and
member
of
the
ruth
eckerd
hall
board
of
directors
over
the
years
mayor,
hibbert
and
other
board
members
in
clearwater
high
society
have
raised
multi-million
dollars
of
funds
for
their
chosen,
non-profit
foundations
such
as
cma
and
ruth
eckert
hall
they're,
not
the
only
two
but
the
city
of
clearwater
pinellas
county
and
the
state
legislature
have
also
granted
clue
in
the
marine
aquarium
ruth
eckerd
hall
multi
millions
of
dollars.
Over
the
years
I
gave
a
couple
of
quotes
to
back
that
up.
R
I
mean
links
to
back
up
that
statement.
In
addition,
the
city
of
clearwater,
mayor
city,
council
and
staff
always
find
a
way
to
fund
the
many
other
projects
that
they
support.
For
example,
the
city
council
recently
approved
the
issuance
of
30
million
dollars
ad
valorem
bonds
for
the
downtown
waterfront
park.
I
gave
a
link
to
that.
R
Does
the
clover
air
park
have
a
non-profit
organization
with
the
board
of
directors,
as
does
ruth
eckert
hall
clay,
water,
marine
aquarium,
the
jolly
trolley,
the
clearwater
jazz
holiday,
the
clearwater
chamber
of
commerce,
the
downtown
merchants
association,
the
downtown
partnership
clearwater
for
youth,
habitat
for
humanity,
et
cetera,
et
cetera?
Perhaps
if
mayor
hibbert
and
his
associates
were
to
serve
on
the
clearwater
airpark
foundation
board
of
directors,
they
could
raise
funds
for
the
necessary
air
park
improvements
and
for
me,
more
community
enhancements
and
engagement
activities
at
the
airport.
On
the
alternative.
R
However,
without
a
non-profit
the
mayor
and
his
circle
of
friends,
including
ruth
eckert
hall
and
clearwater,
jazz
holiday
foundations
and
the
dow
and
all
the
downtown
private,
non-profits
and
city
staff
have
worked
together
to
fund
a
22
million
dollar
amphitheater
and
a
70
million
dollar
downtown
waterfront
park.
The
city
of
florida
and
pinellas
county
have
also
approved
the
downtown
area
as
an
opportunity
zone
to
bring
investments
to
the
downtown
district
area.
R
Do
you
think
it
is
now
time
for
the
hercules
industrial
park
and
clearwater
air
park
to
get
some
attention
from
the
city
and
county,
including
the
infusion
of
funds,
to
benefit
our
our
our
area
of
the
county?
By
the
way
I
live
near
the
airport?
I
don't
know
if
I
told
you
that
we
have
a
new
district
county
commissioner
la
valla
who
served
on
the
florida
appropriations
committee.
He
certainly
knows
where
the
money
can
be
found
for
the
clearwater
airport,
and
I
gave
a
link
to
something
there,
which
I
don't
remember
what
it
was.
AG
Good
evening,
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
frank
scalzo
my
family
and
I
lived
on
the
north
side
of
the
airport
for
the
past
26
years
and
in
the
last
10
years
they
extended
the
runway,
expanded
its
hours
and
increased
its
flight
training
and,
as
predicted,
has
contributed
to
a
decrease
in
the
quality
of
life
for
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
oftentimes.
The
middle
part
of
our
fair
city
sounds
more
like
an
air
show
or
military
base.
Instead
of
a
community
air
park,
the
cause
is
not
the
hobbyist
or
business
person
or
vacationer.
AG
AG
Last
year,
mr
king
was
gracious
enough
to
meet
with
us
and,
as
a
result,
he
asked
the
pilots
to
change
their
path
on
approach.
It
did
help
some,
but
they
still
make
neighborhood
flyovers
and
also
when
a
student
fly
solo
for
the
first
time
over
the
neighborhoods.
We
hear
them
at
home.
We
hear
them
inside
our
church.
We
hear
them
at
my
son's
middle
school.
AG
AG
AG
I'm
not
here
to
debate
the
value
of
training,
because
the
answer
is
self-evident,
but
the
tampa
bay
region
has
seven
other
municipal
air
parks
within
an
hour's
drive
from
here,
most
of
which
fly
over
water
or
farmlands
because
of
our
population.
It's
our
opinion
that
training
should
not
be
included
in
the
new
lease.
If
it
is
allowed
to
remain,
then
strict
rules
should
be
added,
such
as.
AG
AG
AH
AH
As
we
all
know,
the
landings
was
a
big
issue
in
our
neighborhood.
The
referendum
voted
it
down.
As
per
the
presentation
that
fly
usa
made,
you
know,
mr
shevlin
stated
they
went
from
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
enterprise
to
a
1.3
million
dollar
a
month.
Enterprise
and
mr
connor
noted
that
they
there
was
capability
for
a
500,
000
square
foot,
retail,
restaurant
and
workforce
housing.
AH
AH
They
did
say
that
they
would
be
more
than
happy
to
include
language
that
would
exclude
future
development
of
the
landings
as
a
resident.
I
feel
that
should
be
part
of
it,
including
fly
usa,
its
subsidiaries,
joint
ventures,
investment
groups
or
future
divisions
of
that
company
be
prohibited
from
including
the
landings
in
their
future
development.
AH
I
would
also
like
to
see
language
prohibiting
air
traffic.
After
a
certain
hour.
I'm
sorry
turbine
engines
are
going
to
be
louder.
There's
no
way
around
that
also.
I
would
like
to
assurances
that
they
would
not
remove
the
trees
nor
put
in
excessive,
led
lighting
to
disrupt
the
neighborhood.
You
know
again,
I
am
undecided,
but
I
think
these
factors
should
be
taken
into
consideration
when
entering
into
lease
negotiations
with
any
party.
Thank
you.
AI
Hello,
my
name
is
michelle
burkland,
I
am
a
student
at
the
airpark
and
I
can
tell
you
that.
Yes,
there
is
a
lot
of
training
there,
but
there
can
be
a
lot
more
if
it
is
already
limited.
There
is
a
three
month
out
wait
time
to
get
a
lesson,
even
in
their
most
popular
plane.
I've
been
trying
to
schedule
lessons.
I
can
tell
you
that
with
absolute
certainty,
so
flight
training
is
the
future
of
aviation.
AI
All
the
airline
pilots,
all
the
airline
pilots,
astronauts,
everyone
in
the
field
of
aviation
that
flies
anything
comes
through
a
small
airport
and
learns
in
a
small
plane.
This
is
a
critical
part
of
our
future
of
our
infrastructure
as
a
society
and
future
of
aviation
as
a
whole.
To
limit
that
to
remove
it
to
make
it
more
difficult
to
access
would
be
to
limit
the
future
of
our
society
through
aviation.
AJ
Okay,
good
evening
panel
mayor,
I
was
here
last
friday
with
the
airport
advisory
board
going
over
a
few
things.
I'm
not
opposed
to
making
a
change
if
you
could
just
state
your
name
for
the
brexit
drawn
striker,
yeah
clearwater
clearwater
resident.
Also,
I
live
in
the
traffic
pattern
of
the
airport
too.
I
purposely
bought
my
house
there
anyway,
I'm
not
I'm
not
opposed
to
making
changes
to
the
airport.
We
need
changes.
I've
been,
I
got
my
license
here
in
1976.
AJ
I
even
ran
the
airport
operation
there.
In
1778.
we
had
300
active
members
with
32
brand
new
airplanes
on
the
line.
We
never
had
any
problems
we
used
to
make
trips
everywhere
in
them,
and
people
complained,
but
I
also
know
that
we
have
other
issues
with
the
city
too,
that
people
don't
like.
I
mean
up
and
down
hercules
avenue
I
mean
my
shop
is
like
two
blocks
from
the
airport.
I
build
engines
for
aviation
airplanes
for
a
lot
of
the
school
planes
and
I'm
very
picky
on
my
engines.
I
want
them
right.
AJ
I
don't
want
to
have
any
accidents
with
them,
so
I
have
an
faa
guy
that
works
with
me
and
we
get
it
done,
but
anyway,
hercules
avenue
is
a
dangerous
place.
The
cops
are
not
doing
anything
out
there.
We
got
hot
rodders
every
single
day
and
the
noise
is
excruciating.
I
hate
it.
I
don't
like
it,
but
anyway
that's
another
story,
but
I
think
what
we
have
right
here
at
the
airpark
everybody's
already
talked
about
it.
AJ
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
I
think
about
it:
it's
a
beautiful
place
and
I've
lived
in
clearwater
since
1957.
AJ
I've
seen
a
tremendous
change.
I'm
not
opposed
with
these
guys
that
with
fly
usa
want
to
get
in
there.
If
I
had
their
opportunity,
I
would
love
to
do
that
too,
but
we
have
an
air
park
here.
We
have
people
that
are
learning
to
fly.
Just
as
this
lady
just
said
now.
I
don't
see
how
we
can
change
that
and
keep
this
airport
under
that
under
the
way
we're
running
it,
we
haven't
had
any
accidents.
Lately
we
have
a
pretty
pretty
clear
place
and
we
work
pretty
hard.
I
know
I
do
I'll
speak
for
myself.
AJ
AJ
Money,
but
I
think,
there's
other
ways
of
raising
money
to
help
this
airpark
gap.
We
just
haven't
heard
about
it
and
I
don't
know
over
the
years
we've
had
some
commissioners
that
weren't
interested
in
it,
but
I'm
hoping
that
all
you
are
interested
in
the
air
park,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
people
from
up
north
that
come
down
here
on
vacation.
They
fly
airplanes,
they
love
coming
in
here
they
say
it's
such
a
beautiful
airport,
and
I
understand
that
and
we
try
to
accommodate
them
accordingly.
AJ
You
know,
but
we're
limited
to
what
we
can
do,
but
I
can
go
on
and
on
tonight,
I'm
not
going
to
give
somebody
else
a
chance,
but
I
appreciate
your
time
and
I
do
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
AK
Good
evening,
mayor
council,
bob
gibson
clearwater
resident
since
2010,
but
I
moved
here
at
age,
five
in
1957
and
attended
grade
school
here
up
through
fourth
grade
that
was
early
sixties
and
clearwater.
Airpark
was
in
instrumental
in
inspiring
me
to
become
a
pilot.
During
those
early
sixties.
AK
We
were
watching
the
mercury
astronauts
launching
into
space
for
the
first
time
and
my
grandfather,
thomas
t
hilton
owned
ace,
a
duplex
on
saturn,
which
he
lived
in
half
of,
and
that
put
me
in
walking
distance
of
clearwater
airpark
and
its
three
grass
runways,
so
I've.
I
have
a
long
history.
With
with
the
airport,
I
became
a
licensed
pilot
in
1971
at
age
18..
AK
AK
AK
AK
A
AL
AL
I've
been
flying
and
participating
in
other
activities
at
the
clearwater
park
for
about
a
half
a
decade.
Now
it
is
a
true
community
there.
It
is
not
an
airport,
it
is
an
air
park.
You
need
to
make
that
distinction
because
bringing
in
my
opinion,
bringing
a
corporate
office
and
making
that
the
priority
is
going
to
impact
the
bond
you
have
with
the
community.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
spend
time
with
pilots
who
own
or
rent
the
hangars
and
see
that
the
airplanes
are
working
on
the
airplanes
are
flying.
AL
It's
it's
just
been
a
wonderful
opportunity
for
me.
I
know
you
folks
have
a
difficult
decision
to
make,
but
I
just
I
ask
that
you
don't
take
it
lightly.
It's
a
decision,
that's
going
to
impact
the
next
30
to
50
years,
and
I
do
I
do
think
that
there
are
improvements
needed,
but
I
I
think
that
keeping.
A
AM
AM
Many
many
questions
heard
from
the
public,
which
is
the
most
important
thing,
listened
engaged,
got
to
know,
additionally,
more
people
that
use
the
air
park
and
care
about
the
air
park
and
have
interacted
with
them
and
addressed
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised.
The
question
before
you
tonight
is
about
the
rfp
that
the
city
that
the
city
put
out
a
competitive
bidding
process.
AM
You
all
are
very
familiar
with
reviewing
rfps
and
rfp
responses,
and
in
this
case
we
have
even
after
the
video
presentations
where
the
committee
got
to
interact
with
the
respondents.
The
next
closest
respondent
was
20
points
behind
fly,
usa,
and
that
shows
you.
How
prepared
fly
usa
is
to
meet
this
challenge.
AM
AM
You
have
a
neighborhood
that
has
significant
concerns
about
safety,
about
hours
of
operation,
about
noise,
and
the
question
for
you
tonight
is:
who
do
you
negotiate
with,
based
on
the
competitive
bidding
process
that
was
put
out
by
the
city,
the
review
criteria
that
were
established
for
the
responses
who
is
most
prepared
to
meet
that
challenge
going
into
the
future
and
who
is
most
prepared
to
also
meet
that
balance
while
fulfilling
your
2020
air
park
layout
plan?
And
this
is
the
part
where
we
talk
about
deferred
maintenance?
That's
a
safety
concern.
AM
We
talk
about
activating
the
air
park
to
draw
in
more
people.
We
talk
about
giving
the
civil
air
patrol
and
the
eaa
better
space.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
improving
the
air
park
for
everyone,
not
deferring
that
not
keeping
it
the
way.
It
is
because
you
can't
keep
it
the
way
it
is
you
can't?
No,
no
one
wants
to
see
the
airport
fall
into
a
state
where
you
can't.
AM
AM
If
you
approve
the
negotiations,
we
have
a
meeting
with
f
dot
with
mr
gandhi
and
mr
mcmacdonald
and
mr
chevron
set
for
monday
at
10
a.m
and
we're
looking
forward
to
continue
to
proactively
work
with
the
community
one
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
mr
shevlin
lives
here
he
will
be
at
the
airpark.
He
will
be
at
the
airpark
advisory
board
meetings.
People
tenants,
active
tenants,
they
are
not
going
to
be
displaced,
they
will
be
worked
with.
Eaa
will
be
accommodated.
AM
B
T
One
comment
was
submitted
by
clearwater
neighborhoods
dear
mayor
and
city
council.
How
is
that
a
special
air
park
advisory
board
meeting
was
called
that
last
friday,
and
now
this
recommendation
is
already
on
your
calendar
to
approve
a
few
days
later,
the
aab
had
meetings
in
may
and
august,
with
no
mention
of
the
lease
or
rfp
on
their
agendas.
We,
the
neighborhoods,
all
knew
the
current
fba
lease
was
set
to
expire
at
the
end
of
november
2022.
T
The
aab
was
briefed
about
the
about
the
swell
over
a
year
ago
at
their
meetings,
yet
they
had
no
input
on
the
rfp
and
was
then
asked
at
the
11th
hour
to
comment
on
it,
who
developed
the
rfp
at
the
last
minute?
Did
the
council
or
city
management
approve
the
rfp
prior
to
issuing?
Why
was
in
a
special
meeting
of
the
aav
call
before
the
rfp
went
out?
Why
was
the
topic
absent
on
their
2022
aab
agendas?
Why
didn't
this
rfp
go
out
at
the
beginning
of
the
year?
T
This
is
likely
to
be
a
10
20
year,
lease
agreement
and
the
community
was
given
no
chance
to
provide
their
input
before
this
week.
There
are
many
concerns
and
unanswered
questions.
How
is
the
city
will
hold
neighborhood,
charettes
and
meetings
for
park,
designs,
traffic
calming
and
other
feel-good
projects?
It
is
insulting
that
residents
are
asked
to
review
puff
projects
years
in
advance
of
the
project,
but
given
no
opportunity
to
comment
on
a
long-term
lease
that
involves
city-owned
property
that
will
have
an
impact
on
residents
day-to-day
lives
for
decades.
T
What
is
the
last
minute
rush
now,
with
this
new
lease,
the
city
calendar
contains
an
upcoming
public
meeting
for
a
meet
and
greet
for
the
cra
director
candidates.
My
guess
is
likely
less
than
10
residents
will
attend
a
public
meeting
on
the
air
park.
Lease
would
have
drawn
hundreds
of
residents
just
like
the
landings
meetings
did.
It
seems,
like
the
city
is
afraid
to
let
the
public
know
what
developer-led
plans
now
they
now
have
for
the
airpark
and
hope
to
link
a
new
lease
deal
under
the
neighborhood's
radar.
A
Okay,
see
no
one
else,
mr
margolis,
just
one
thing
that
was
brought
up
was
the
landings
and
expanding
into
the
landings
that
would
not
be
possible.
F
That's
correct,
you
know,
as
we
discussed
monday
at
the
work
session
and
I
think
certainly
for
the
benefit
of
the
public
here.
The
landings
golf
course
like
all
real
estate
is
zoned
a
certain
way
and
it
is
zoned
for
osr,
which
is
open
space
and
recreation.
F
F
So,
in
order
to
even
change
the
zoning
of
the
landings,
it
would
require
a
referendum
from
voters,
so
there
is
no
time
the
foreseeable
future
when
that
is
likely
to
happen.
But
if
it
ever
did
happen,
it
would
require
approval
by
voters
at
referendums.
So
that
is
definitely,
I
would
say,
of
all
the
things
we
heard
tonight.
That's
probably
the
least.
F
Was
kind
of
my
point:
it
will
have
to
go
to
referendum,
so
it's
a
non-issue
whether
we
put
it
in
the
agreement
or
not.
It's
not
gonna
matter.
Okay,.
A
Questions
for
fly
usa
from
the
council.
We
do
have
mr
shevlin
here.
Would
you
like
to
say
a
few
words?
A
S
S
The
air
park
not
being
a
good
neighbor,
I
was
hoping
that
hawaii
usa
would
be
able
to
greatly
reduce
those
problems,
and
I
want
to
hear
from
you
how
that's
going
to
take
place.
I
also
want
to
hear
how
fly
usa
is
going
to
make
all
the
changes
they're
making
and
not
displace
any
of
the
pilots.
S
That
seems
to
be
a
big
challenge,
and
I
I'll
say
this:
I
grew
up
in
oshkosh
wisconsin,
home
of
the
annual
ea
convention.
S
My
dad
was
not
a
pilot,
but
he
he
was
an
airplane
buff
and
as
a
little
kid
we
used
to
drive
out
to
the
edge
of
our
small
airport
in
oshkosh
park
there
and
watch
the
planes
land
and
take
off
for
hours.
That
was
what
my
dad
loved
to
do
and
then
we'd
stop
at
dairy
queen,
which
is
what
I
love
to
do.
S
So
I
I
am
you
know,
understand
the
the
passion
for
flying.
I
also
would
like
to
see
the
place
run
professionally,
so
my
concerns
are
noise
and
safety
without
hurting
the
folks
who,
who
love
that
as
a
home.
Good
luck.
AN
Look,
those
are
a
lot
of
questions.
If
I
missed
something
you
know,
let
me
know
the
you
know
the
there's.
A
I've
been
using
the
word
balance
a
lot
in
these
meetings,
and
this
really
is
about
balance.
AN
You
know
the
intensity
of
the
flight
training
activity
is
is
an
issue
for
the
neighborhoods
from
a
noise
perspective,
but
it's
also
an
issue
for
other
pilots
that
are
based
there.
So
it's
not
it's
it's
not
just
about
noise
and
like
it's
the
scales
I
had,
you
know
how
to
dress
it's
also
about
other
other
pilots
that
are
coming
to
use
the
facility.
AN
So
so
I
think,
there's
a
balance
as
a
as
I
said
in
the
last
previous
couple
meetings,
the
the
quantity,
the
volume
of
flight
training
in
the
last
12
months
has
doubled.
So
it's
it's
gotten
out
of
balance,
so
the
problem
has
has
gotten
worse.
We
do
not
want
to
eliminate
or
remove
the
flight
school
that
has
always
been
a
part
of
our
plan.
Going
forward
is
that
you
know
there's
going
to
be
a
flight
school
base
there
do
we
want
to
reduce
the
volume?
Yes,
what
does
that?
Look?
AN
Like
I
think,
we'll
we're
going
to
have
to
work
through
that,
but
that
is
certainly
our
intention
as
far
as
displacing
pilots,
you
know,
there's
you
know
right
now.
You
know
I
want
to
remind
you
guys
that
you
know
our
plan.
Our
proposal
was
guided
by
the
master
plan
right
and,
and
the
master
plan
was,
you
know,
contemplated
removing
the
thirty
shade,
hangers
and
replacing
them
with
30
t-hangers.
AN
So
the
you
know,
there's
a
there's
been
a
lot
of
there's
been
a
narrative
that
we
want
to
take
down
the
shade,
hangers
and
displace
those
tenants.
All
of
those
tenants
will
have
other
options.
We
know
some
want
to
upgrade
and
move
into
t
hangers,
but
the
waiting
list
has
been
too
long
by
building
additional
ones.
AN
Right
so
no
intention
to
displace
any
active
pilots.
We
do
have
derelict
planes
that
we
talked
about
that.
Are
you
know
scattered
around
the
airport,
as
you
remove
those
you
obviously
have
room
for
other
folks
to
move
in
there
that
are
more
active,
we're
extremely
passionate
about
general
aviation
and
that's-
and
I
thought
that
came
across
you
know
throughout
our
proposal.
H
I
have
some
five
smart,
okay,
well,
first,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
I
wanted
to
say
a
special
thank
you
for
the
people
that
have
emailed
in
and
the
people
who
commented
tonight,
as
well
as
on
friday's
special
air
park
advisory
board
meeting,
which
I
watched.
H
A
special
you
know
shout
out
to
frank
and
laurie
scalzo
so
frank
is
here:
kelly
o'donnell
wrote
a
really
nice
summary
of
that
air
park
advisory
board.
Last
friday,
beth
davis
has
some
significant
questions
in
this
dennis
mcdermott,
who
did
not
show
up
also
sent
a
very,
very
thoughtful
detailed
email,
articulating
some
questions
and
concerns,
and
it
was
wonderful
that
and
people
tonight
too,
nobody
was
a
not
in
my
backyard.
I
maybe
there
was
one
that
was
just
like.
H
Let's
just
keep
it
the
way
it
is,
but
people
seem
to
realize
that
we
need
to
do
some
improvements
and
it's
not
you
know,
all
just
black
or
white.
So
that's
encouraging,
especially
the
emails
where
people
are
making
suggestions.
Please
do
this
rather
than
just
please
don't
do
this
and
then
go
figure
it
out.
H
I
one
of
my
concerns
goes
back
to
when
we,
I
think,
there's
some
fuzzy
math
there
and
some.
You
know
some
suppositions,
that
you're
going
to
get
80,
f,
dot
or
50
f
dot,
and
what,
if
we
have
these
gaps?
And
so
you
know
you
say
you're,
giving
over
seven
million
to
the
city
over
the
initial
term,
and
I
we
need
to
know
how
do
you
get
to
that
number?
You've
got
1.5
to
prepay
for
five
years,
then
for
at
the
five-year
mark,
then
another
1.5.
H
You
do
say
we
have
a
revenue
share
of
3
percent,
but
you
know
what
totals
over
7
million
dollars
with
a
revenue
share
and
fuel
surcharge.
AN
I
was
just
to
clarify
on
that
one
question:
I
was
answering
a
very
specific
question
with
that.
That
was
in
the
rfp
that
specifically
said
to
include
the
value
of
the
improvements
that
the
city
receives
as
part
of
the
total
compensation
of
the
city.
So
we
used
the
so
we
added
the
rent
that
we
were
paying
plus
the
f
anticipated
f
dot
funding
for
that
first
phase
and
I'm
calling
a
phase
a
five
year
period,
and
that
is
where
that
number
came
from,
but
it
wasn't
a
marketing
number.
AN
We
were
answering
a
very
specifically
written
question
in
the
in
the
rfp
document,
which
I
recognize
has
caused
a
good
bit
of
confusion.
So.
AN
I
think
we'll
know
that
in
the
next
you
know
week
or
two
I
mean
candidly,
if,
if
the
f
dot
funding-
and
we
don't
have
a
mechanism
to
get
comfortable
with
that,
we
we
would
not
move
forward.
I
mean
we've
been
fairly
clear
about
that.
H
So
there's
some
concern
about
the
lack
of
details
in
the
rfp
and-
and
I
can
I
can
agree
and
sympathize
with
residents
who
say
this
seems
rushed,
and
I
understand
that
mr
gandy
came
on
and
took
on
two
departments
and
may
not
you
know
whatever
it
was.
It
would
have
been
nicer
as
the
last
comment
that
was
read
if
there
was
a
longer
runway
and
certainly
more
public
engagement,
especially
with
the
airport
advisory
board
on
the
front
end,
what
might
an
rfp
look
like?
What
do
you?
H
H
I
mean
just
to
think
about
it
for
another
three
or
six
months
to
give
a
little
more
space,
because,
quite
frankly,
when
you
go
into
negotiations
for
a
contract
and
you've
only
got
two
months,
I
mean
they're
in
the
driver's
seat
a
little
bit
more.
I
think
you
know
there's
a
rush
to
get
it
done,
and
so
I
I
just
wonder
about
that.
If
that
might
be
a
prudent
course
of
action,.
P
P
P
P
H
P
Correct-
and
I
took
up
the
department
a
couple
months
ago
and
I
can
insure
you-
I'm
a
rules
guy
and
and
quite
frankly,
yes,
you,
if
you're
going
to
incorporate
those
as
you
should
into
a
contract,
then
you
need
to
make
sure
they're
enforced.
What
good
is
a
contract
if
you're
not
enforcing
the
provisions
of
the
contract?
Exactly
I
can't
do
maintenance
on
my
vehicle
in
a
hangar.
I
can't
build
an
apartment
in
a
hangar.
I
can't
do
some
of
these
things
and
they
shouldn't
occur
on
an
airport.
P
P
P
So
if
you
took
faa
money
as
we've
discussed
in
this
this
body,
then
I
can't
say
no
helicopters,
so
we
have
to
be
very
careful
when
we
negotiate
this
agreement
when
we
look
at
the
terms
from
a
financial
perspective
and
what
we
want
that
airport
to
look
like.
So
you
know
those
are
my
reassurances
to
you.
Is
that
we'll
look
at
all
that
and
and
if
it,
if
we
get
to
a
point
where
it's
not
going
to
fit
into
the
city's
needs
and
profile
for
that
air
park?
P
H
I
think
you
know
and
a
couple
of
comments
that
I
think
this
was
mr
scalzo
that
was
here
about
that
there
are
schools
within
an
hour's
drive.
There
are
seven
other
municipal
parks
within
an
hour's
drive
all
which
fly
over
water,
farmlands
or
less
population.
H
P
So
any
general
aviation
airport
has
a
component
of
their
revenue
and
if
their
business
model
is
reliant
on
flight
schools,
I
learned
to
fly
a
little
uncontrolled
field
over
in
tampa.
That's
just
part
of
the
mix
and
the
revenue.
As
I
mentioned,
the
components
rentals
I
mean
hanger
rental,
fuel,
flowage
and
flight
schools,
or
a
sublease
with
a
an
amp
repair
shop.
Something
of
that
nature.
P
So
you
know
yes,
there
are
other
options,
but
if
you
you've
heard
the
demand
is
tremendous,
so
this
thing
is
a
difficult
balancing
act
and,
unfortunately,
for
you
guys
you're
thrust
into
the
middle
of
it.
But
if,
as
you've
seen,
every
comment
is
a
competing
interest
and
that's
what
makes
this
exceptionally
difficult
to
get
the
right
deal
and
the
right
balance.
H
P
So
I
think
that
you
know
the
upside
under
the
same
model
is
constrained,
and
I
think
mr
king,
over
the
years,
has
has
done
what
the
city
has
asked
him
to
do
and
is
kept
a
lid
on
expansion,
but
is
still
trying
to
fill
the
gaps
with
flight
schools
and
things
like
that.
So
it's
it's
a
tough
business
model,
it's
a
tough
location
and
there's
limited
availability
for
pilots
around
this
region.
P
J
Well,
one
of
the
things
when
this
was
brought
to
me
that
the
first
thing
I
wanted
to
see
was
the
pro
forma.
I
wanted
to
see
numbers
and
see
how
all
this
stuff
worked
out,
and
then
we
had
a
good
conversation
over
the
phone
that
that
will
come
over
with
the
negotiations
on
the
next
phase.
So
this
kind
of
reminded.
Y
J
Here's
what
I
see
on
this.
I
took
flight
school
there
in
1978.
J
J
A
couple
years
ago
got
my
commercial:
u
uav
license,
I
mean
it
is
a.
It
is
something
that
has
been
in
our
community
a
long
time.
I
remember
that
used
to
be
used
more
as
a
community
source.
It
seems
to
me
in
my
memory
of
back
in
the
you
know.
J
In
the
when
I
was
younger,
it
was
more
of
a
family
oriented
kind
of
a
place
that
you
could
go
to
and
I've
seen
the.
J
J
J
J
I
mean
again
we're
talking
balance
here
and
I
think
you've
tried
to
balance
that
out
everybody's
not
going
to
be
happy,
but
I
think,
being
in
the
middle.
Everybody
can
live
with
this
if
it
works
out
now
the
only
concern
I
have-
and
I
know
that
you
guys
are
very
you're
thinking
of
safety
first,
because
that's
what
we
need
to
do
at
an
airport
is
how
the
small
planes
and
the
turbo
props
mix-
and
I'm
not.
J
P
It'd
be
beneficial
if
mr
chevron
speaks
to
the
intensity
that
they
anticipate
and
I
think
that's
an
important
component
of
this,
I
think
when,
when
you
know
you
have
a
student
pilot,
doing
pattern,
work
and
they've
flown
around
the
pattern
50
times
versus
a
different
level
of
intensity
that
I
think
he
can
expand
upon.
That
might
be
helpful
in
that
space.
AN
So
yeah,
I
want
to
answer
that
question
kind
of
two
ways
you
know
the
first
is
what
eric
is
referring
to,
which
is
just
the
volume
of
flights
in
general.
I
think
we've
been
pretty
clear
that
over
the
course
of
a
few
years,
we'd
like
to
see
10
of
the
planes
based
at
the
airport
being
a
turbo
prop
category
and
so
and
those
planes
are
typically
taking
off
a
few
times
a
week,
not
many
many
times
a
day.
AN
So
the
you
know
there
is,
I
understand
the
concerns
of
higher
speed
planes
and
lower
speed
planes
mixing
in
the
traffic
pattern.
I
think
it's
a
legitimate
concern,
but
also
the
turbo
props
are
not
they're,
not
mid-sized
jets.
You
know,
their
speeds
are
much
closer
to
pistons
than
a
midsize
jet
is
I
used
to
fly
a
a
piper
meridian,
which
was
a
turbo
crop?
Our
landing
speed
was
85
knots
and
you
know
you
have
serious
sr-22s
on
the
field
where
the
landing
speed
is
80
knots,
that's
not
a
huge
delta.
AN
A
AN
J
J
A
lot
of
those
are
in
really
disrepair.
They
should
be
replaced.
They
are
so
I'm
willing
to
give
this
a
shot
to
see
where
we
go
next
week.
I
mean
it
could
fall
apart
next
week
and
then
I
think
we
have
staff
that
can
negotiate
and
see
where
we
come
up
with
it
sure.
M
This
is
one
of
very
rare
issues
where
I
can
empathize
with
each
view
in
the
truest
sense.
M
M
I
also
empathize
with
those
who
want
things
not
to
change
change
is
scary
and
then
those
who
want
progress-
and
I
can
understand
each
s
each
side
of
it,
so
it
makes
it
difficult,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
agree
with
your
statement
balance
that
has
always
been
a
word.
That's
been
very
important
to
me
my
medical
degree.
I
really
respect
balance,
especially
when
it
comes
to
the
human
body,
and
you
can
see
that
in
the
environment
and
the
economy.
M
So
if
we
do
enter
in
negotiations,
there
are
several
things
that
are
important
to
me
and
that
is
to
establish
that
balance,
or
at
least
try
to
the
balance
between
the
neighborhoods
and
and
how
to
have
a
successful
park
and
very
and
hopefully
early
on
clear
expectations
from
what
is
expected
from
the
city
and
what
is
expected
from
fly.
M
Usa
in
regards
to
numbers
in
terms
of
capital
rip,
you
know
renovations
and
what
what
is
clearwater
could
be
responsible
for
what
is
what
are
they
and
I'm
hoping
that
it's
gonna
be
early
on
that
we
get
those
clear
that
that
becomes
clear,
because,
right
now,
it's
just
it
looks
like
I'm
looking
through
a
foggy
pair
of
glasses
and
I'm
hoping
that
early
on
in
the
negotiations,
if
that
goes
forward,
that
becomes
clearer
quickly,.
P
P
M
I
have
been
writing
down
a
lot
of
the
comments
from
the
residents,
but
well
actually
from
everybody
and
trying
to
kind
of
keep
a
list
so
that
when
the
negotiations
negotiations
start,
I
still
have.
I
don't
forget
any
any
of
the
opinions
expressed
because
again,
balance
I
think,
is
going
to
be
the
only
way
to
go
forward.
A
AJ
A
AF
M
AF
A
A
A
Certainly
the
air
park
needs
to
be
more
self-sufficient
and
there
are
improvements
that
need
to
be
made,
and
probably
with
we
looked
at
the
penny
for
pinellas
list
earlier
tonight
and
at
some
point
we
probably
ought
to
be
allotting
some
penny
for
pinellas
money
for
the
air
park.
We
certainly
have
done
it
with
other
enterprise
funds
when
we
needed
it
with
the
marina
and
elsewhere.
A
I
want
to
thank
mr
king
because
he's
really
been
a
good
communicator.
At
least
with
me.
We've
met
with
mr
scalzo.
Mr
scalzo
has
my
cell
phone,
so
I
hear
from
him
a
lot
texts
and
phone
calls.
Usually,
on
easter
and
other
sundays,
which
is
fine,
most
people
have
my
cell
phone
and
I,
as
I
stated
on
monday,
I
have
some
concerns.
A
I
don't
like
how
the
parking
garage
on
the
beach
worked
out.
I
can't
blame
that
on
one
of
the
partners,
I
need
to
blame
that
on
the
city
it
was
a
bad
deal
and
we're
out
of
it
now
so,
but
I
think
we
ought
to
at
least
go
forward
with
negotiations
and
see
where
the
f
dot
money
is
or
is
not,
which
will
be
a
determining
factor
of
you
know.
If
this
particular
proposal
works
out,
I
do
think
within
a
contract.
A
We
need
to
put
some
parameters
on
what
our
expectations
are
for
the
existing
tenants
for
the
neighborhood
for
what
we
can
expect
from
different
uses
on
the
property
from
flight
school,
for
fixed
wing
to
helicopters,
and
then,
as
you
said,
mr
gandy,
which
I
know
you're
a
rule
keeper
coming
from
our
police
department
for
as
many
years
as
you
were
there,
then
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
enforce
those
rules.
A
But
my
belief
is
that
we
ought
to
at
least
go
forward
with
the
negotiations
from
the
committee
and
see
where
that
no
pun
intended
lands
us
and
it
will
come
back
to
the
council.
A
H
I
hope
it's
a
good
deal.
I
mean,
I
hope,
the
numbers
line
up,
I
hope
it's
real
transparent
with
the
financials
and
and
that
it's
very
clear
to
residents,
as
well
as
people
who
utilize
the
airport,
what
what
to
expect
and
then
and
then
have
that
enforced
whatever
we
whatever
we
do
going
forward.
You
know
well.
H
A
H
H
A
Falls
through
mr
king
is
next
in
line.
A
H
Motion
to
approve
that
agenda
item
moving.
A
T
T
A
Any
questions
from
council
motion
move
to
approve.
S
Item
11.5.
Second,
all.
A
T
An
individual
to
serve
in
the
library
board
for
an
unexpired
term
through
february
28,
2025
council
members.
In
your
agenda
packs,
you
had
10
applicants
for
your
consideration:
christine
delagan
angela
gates,
lawrence
jaffe,
kelly
militia,
pamela
master
stereo,
joseph
smiley,
linda
stuckey,
cherylwood,
alexandra,
vanjelli
and
deborah
wilson
for
your
consideration.
A
We
discussed
some
of
these
folks
on
monday,
some
good
applications
nice
to
see
how
many
people
want
to
be
on
this
advisory
board
had
some
different
opinions.
Obviously
so,
council
member
albritton
and
then
the
vice
mayor.
J
A
H
So
she
was
great
and
then
also
I
thought.
Sharon
smallwood
was
phenomenal.
She's,
a
former
spc
instructor
teacher
media,
specialist
she's,
taught
reading
she's
very
well
versed
in
offerings
of
libraries
and
how
they
can
be
utilized
excellent
application
and
responses.
Excellent
work
experience
she
has
a
phd.
H
S
M
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
she
was
still
interested
and
she
is
but
she's
such
a
gracious
lady.
She
acknowledged
that
all
the
applicants
were
wonderful,
I'm
trying
to
get
a
consensus
here
so
with
the
zip
codes
that
would
leave
my
numbers.
My
second
choice
be
melissa,
belisa,
librarian.
J
H
F
Most
of
the
citizens
left,
I
assume
they
were
all
here
for
city
attorney
reports.
A
M
S
The
developer,
sean
wilson
said
scientology,
didn't
pressure
him
in
any
way,
but
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
when
it
was
clear
in
the
emails
between
the
developer
and
mr
jennings,
that
scientology's
point
person
on
this
project.
Sarah
heller
kept
calling
the
developer
even
after
he
begged
her
to
stop
and
that's
scientology's
playbook
do
what
it
takes
to
win,
be
relentless.
I
mean
I
saw
it
at
a
tv
station
when
I
I
was
working
in
san
diego.
We
we're
going
to
air
a
report
on
scientology
that
I
put
together.
They
they
called
nonstop.
S
Despite
all
of
our
best
efforts,
the
developers
said
on
this
city
sponsored
concept.
There
is
still
a
great
deal
of
uncertainty
about
what
is
best
for
the
city
of
clearwater,
as
he
walked
away
with
the
project
and,
unfortunately,
that's
that's
the
message
that
this
gives
that
we're
not
sure
what
we
want
to
happen.
Downtown
clearwater
scientology
wanted
the
property
and
you
offered
to
facilitate
the
discussions
hoping
to
swap
the
land.
S
S
Just
like
hubbard
spent
the
last
10
years
of
his
life,
hiding
in
the
desert
afraid
that
he
would
be
sent
to
prison
like
his
wife
and
10
other
top
scientologists,
who
had
been
sent
to
prison
for
espionage
against
the
u.s
government
and
the
government
of
clearwater.
I
don't
think
we
should
forget
that,
and
what
angered
me
the
most
is
is
that
I
didn't
know
that
you
and
the
mayor
had
been
in
on
this
maneuvering
and
according
to
tracy's
article,
none
of
the
rest
of
us
were
aware
that
this
was
part
of
it.
S
The
council
council
voted
four
to
one
for
this:
affordable
housing
project
and
the
vic
mo
the
mayor
voted.
No
because
he
wanted
the
property
to
be
used
in
a
land
swap
with
scientology.
S
S
So
tracy
was
wrong
that
that
you
weren't
in
you
weren't
knowledgeable
about
what
was
happening
here.
I.
A
A
A
A
S
S
And
we've
got:
we've
got
big
huge,
600
apartments
being
constructed
there
now
as
well,
so
well,
thankfully,
those
will
certainly
fall
through.
I
hope
miss
cabbage
doesn't
want
those
properties
anyway.
Miscavige
is
not
the
city's
partner.
S
He
is
essentially
the
head
of
a
crime
syndicate
and
we
should
be
helping
tampa
federal,
judge,
thomas
barber,
who
just
issued
a
summons
days
ago
to
serve
miscavige
in
a
human
trafficking
case
from
which
miscavige
has
been
hiding.
Just
as
hubbard
hid
out
in
the
desert.
As
his
time-leading
scientology
came
to
an
end,
miss
cabbage
is
not
serving
clear
water,
so
we
should
make
sure
he
is
served.
H
H
I
just
wanna,
I
guess
since
councilmember
bunker
brought
it
up.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
my
disappointment
in
that
we
did
take
a
four
to
one
vote
on
that
blue
sky
housing
development
and
I
was
so
excited
about
the
you
know
the
development
that
was
coming.
They
had
asked
for
extra
funding
for
from
us
that
we
put
in
another
1.8
million.
They
asked
for
extra
funding
from
the
county
to
make
it
work.
It
was
exciting
to
know
that
our
staff
spent
two
years
working
on
that
with
the
developer.
H
H
Who
was
who
was
negotiating
or
who
was
talking
about
possibilities
of
something
else
there,
because,
as
councilmember
bunker
said
and
tracy
reported-
and
I
too
am
a
champion
of
journalism-
is
that
I
you
know
nobody
came
to
me
and
said
hey.
I
know
we
voted
for
this
four
to
one,
but
I'd
like
to
you
know:
have
it
back
on
the
table
to
discuss
the
possibility
of
swapping
it
or
having
it
for
something
else.
H
J
J
We
had
our
first
meeting
the
other
night.
Yes
for
clearwater,
that's
a
meeting
about
explaining
what
the
referendum
is
going
to
be
in
november
island
way,
grill.
I
think
they
had
a
good
turnout.
There
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
more
of
those
meetings.
I
know
the
mayor's
set
up
to
go
around
the
city,
I'm
doing
the
same
thing,
I'm
going
to
try
to
hit
the
beaches
and
some
of
those
areas
to
advocate
for
this
project,
because
it's
very,
very
important
in
november.
J
J
C
Jennings
mayor,
I
I'm
sorry
that
I
I
want
to
take
some
time
right
now,
because
I
I've
really
grown
tired
of
the
attacks
on
my
character
to
say
that
I
never
spoke
with
you
vice
mayor.
I
spoke
with
you
on
several
occasions
about
how
the
deal
was
falling
through,
and
I've
decided
to
put
everything
in
writing
at
this
point,
because
this
has
happened
a
couple
of
times
now,
where
I've
had
these
conversations
I
get
thrown
under
the
bus,
there's
an
article
written
that
isn't
complete.
C
The
only
reason
I
was
involved
with
this
was
to
avoid
the
l
ron
hubbard
museum,
going
on
the
location
that
was
the
old
tequilas
between
court
and
chestnut.
So
people
were
not
going
to
the
beach
and
coming
from
the
beach
and
that's
what
they
were
seeing
when
I
found
out
they
were
having
some
financial
issues.
C
S
That
wasn't
my
intent
and
I
I
apologize
if,
if
you
took
it
that
hard
but
but
from
tracy's
article-
and
I
believe,
she's-
probably
accurate
in
this-
that
scientology
reached
out
to
the
developer
and
said
hey,
we
want
that
property
and
miss
cabbage
was
offering
a
property.
That
is
that
a
scientologist
parishioner
owned
on
martin
luther
king
jr
boulevard-
and
I
forget
the
other
intersection
here.
C
C
S
But
it
wouldn't
have
gone
away
if
we
had
just
said
the
scientology.
I'm
sorry
there's
a
deal
here
and
but.
C
A
I
don't
know,
but
the
way
you
characterize
things
is
very
unfair,
so
I've
got
a
real
problem
with
it
and
you
know
what
I
don't
mind:
4-1
votes,
it's
okay,
yeah
just
like
tonight.
I
think
you're
all
completely
wrong
about
city
hall
and
I
think
that
will
be
proven
out.
But
it's
okay.
I
can
take
a
4-1
vote,
but
don't
characterize
that
I
had
anything
to
do
to
undermine
that
project.
C
I'm
not
sure
I
have
no
idea,
I
I'm
not
in
there
just
I
would.
I
was
never
in
their
discussions
in
terms
of
their
pro
forma,
but
I
will
say
that
the
two
affordable
housing
projects
that
are
that
you
just
worked
on
this
week
and
that
were
being
bringing
before
the
council,
either
in
october
or
november,
both
had
significant
revenue
shortages
in
the
blue
sky.
Funding
that
was
freed
up
is
now
going
into
if
the
council
will
support
it.
The
south
washington
project,
which
is
173
units
of
housing,.
