A
C
Good
afternoon
trustee
is
Ann
Lopez
senior
CRA
manager
at
the
March
15
2021
community
redevelopment
agency
meeting,
the
trustee
is
approved,
the
commercial
beautification
grant
program.
As
of
June
23
2023.
There
have
been
three
Grant
agreements
and
only
one
completed
improvements
which
were
paid
out
in
the
amount
of
5
683
staff
is
recommending
that
we
close
out
the
commercial
beautification
grant
program
and
allocate
the
remaining
balance
to
our
business
renovation
program.
C
The
CRA
trustees
approved
the
business
renovation
grant
program
in
August
of
2022
to
help
reduce
blight
and
encourage
private
investment
in
downtown.
Through
the
success
of
the
business
renovation
grant
program,
staff
has
looked
at
ways
to
improve
its
current
structure
that
best
aligns
with
the
goals
of
the
CRA,
as
well
as
the
much
need,
as
well
as
the
needs
of
the
commercial
business
owners
and
tenants.
C
The
recommended
changes
that
we
have
are
to
create
a
total
reimbursement
of
50
of
the
total
project
cost
not
to
exceed
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
provide
an
upfront
funding
in
the
amount
of
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
at
the
approval
of
the
CRA
director
and
grants
will
be
awarded
to
business
owners
and
Commercial
tenants
with
your
approval
just
a
couple
minutes
ago,
the
project
funds
from
the
commercial
beautification.
This
will
bring
the
available
balance
to
business
renovation
program
to
493
303
dollars.
B
So
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
about
first
of
all,
I
think
it
would
be
nice
in
the
future
if
we're
looking
to
revise
this
business
renovation,
grant
program
to
have
an
attachment
of
the
actual
business
renovation
grant.
So
I
can
look
at
what
the
changes
are
and
what
does
it
actually
say
it
just
tells
it.
What
Assurance
do
that
we
have
that?
B
You
know
this
is
a
good
investment
and
one
of
the
concerns
I
have
and
again
you
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
providing
about
up
to
25
000
for
upfront
funding
at
the
approval
of
the
CRA
executive
director
I
mean
how
do
we
know
that
money
isn't
going
to
be
lost
and
we're
not
going
to
see
anything
for
it
and
it
kind
of
ties
in
with
a
third
bullet
that
grants
may
be
awarded
to
business
owners
or
commercial
tenants
and
is
a
business
owner
the
same
as
a
property
owner,
so
they
own
the
property.
No.
C
Okay,
so
this
would
be
specific
to
the
owner
of
the
business.
They
could
also
be
the
property
owner
in
some
cases,
but
this
would
be
most
lent
towards
the
business
owner
when
we've
gone
out
and
talked
with
a
lot
of
the
business
owners
in
downtown,
we
found
that
it
wasn't
necessarily
the
landlord
who
needed
the
funding.
It
was
the
actual
person
going
into
the
space
they
needed
to
be
able
to
make
things
ADA
Compliant
and
provide
Plumbing
electrical
work
that
would
be
required
of
them
to
receive
their
COI.
F
C
That's
why
we
decided
to
provide
the
grant
this
way,
The
Upfront
funding.
That
was
something
else
that
we
heard
a
lot
of
is
I
really
want
to
be
able
to
do
these
changes
to
my
business,
but
for
one
reason
or
another
I
just
don't
have
the
money
to
be
able
to
pay
for
everything
up
front,
so
this
would
be
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
we'll
talk
to
them,
we'll
work,
something
out
with
the
legal
department
to
make
sure
that
they
account
for
their
funds,
so
as
also
being
the
one
who
handles
the
financials
for
the
Department.
C
B
And
so
these,
so
these
are
going
into
into
a
to
business
renovation.
So
it's
about
making
that
building
more
attractive
or
usable,
okay
and
then
the
difference
between
so
I
I
understand
what
a
property
owner
is,
the
owner
of
a
business
and
a
tenant
so
somebody's
going
to
own
a
business.
Isn't
that
person
necessarily
the
tenant?
That's
in
there?
Okay!
So
it's
not
it's.
C
B
Okay,
all
right
yeah
I
just
wanted
that
clarification
I
just
you
know
you
get
worried
about
allocating
a
lot
of
funds
for
making
a
structure
a
building
usable
which
is
great,
but
then
the
business
never
pans
out.
You
know,
and
so
does,
that
Grant
have
a
repayment
if
it
doesn't
open
or
something
like
that.
C
The
community
redevelopment
agency
offers
financial
assistance
to
qualified
business
owners
and
Commercial
tenants
seeking
to
furnish
approved
Sidewalk
Cafe
areas
within
the
downtown
court.
Currently
The
Sidewalk,
Cafe
Furniture
grant
program
makes
available
a
one-time
Grant
of
up
to
75
percent
of
the
total
project
cost
up
to
a
maximum
of
twenty
five
hundred
dollars.
C
Cra
staff
is
recommending
an
increase
in
this
grant
amount
from
2500
to
7
500..
This
will
Aid
downtown
businesses
in
creating
a
higher
quality
outdoor,
dining
space
for
social
interaction
using
more
durable
and
sustainable
commercial
furnishings,
which
will
better
accommodate
the
anticipated
increase
in
foot
traffic
and
the
business
as
well
as
continue
to
Aid
in
the
beautification
of
downtown.
C
The
item
is
the
amendments
to
our
downtown
CRA
budget
for
operating
budget.
The
adjustments
made
to
the
budget
are
to
reflect
actual
expenditures
to
date
and,
as
part
of
the
amendments
to
our
Capital
Improvements,
we've
added
a
project
code
for
the
downtown
Mercado,
as
well
as
including
the
25
or
65
000
transfer
in
from
the
community
engagement
that
will
be
part
of
the
art
installation
and
the
Mercado
that
the
trustees
approved.
B
If
we
look
on
the
budget
page
two
of
two
I
just
had
a
question,
so
we
expected
or
projected
having
more
Tiff
money
from
the
county.
We're
shy
about
190
000.
Is
that
correct?
We
have
any
idea.
Why
has
that
happened
before
or.
H
A
B
Other
questions
or
comments
yep
I
have
so
our
balance
is
a
little
over
12
million
here
at
the
Total.
Line
is
any
of
that
encumbered?
Yes,.
C
But
there
is
some
that
is
a
convert
encumbered
in
our
housing
County
for
about
three
million
dollars
for
Archway
Community
Gardens,
which
we
hear
yeah.
Okay,.
B
C
F
I
Can
you
give
me
a
construction
schedule
when
the
mercados
no
there's
been
a
big
pile
of
dirt
there
for
a
long
time.
I
C
Archway
Clearwater
Gardens
LLC
submitted
a
modified
schedule
for
consideration,
as
well
as
a
modified
design
for
the
community
garden,
which
would
move
from
the
rooftop
to
the
ground.
Staff
recommends
approval
of
this
amendment
Clearwater
Gardens,
affordable
housing
development
located
at
1250,
Cleveland
Street
was
selected
by
the
Florida
Housing
Finance
Corporation
for
a
nine
percent
tax
credit
award
in
reviewing
the
development
agreement
dated
August,
23
2021
and
the
first
and
second
amendments
between
the
CRA
and
Archway
Gardens
LLC.
B
I
just
have
a
comment
about
the
garden
and,
and
it
makes
perfect
sense,
I
I,
don't
think
it
was
articulated
in
the
agenda
item,
but
I
reached
out
about
why
that
Garden
was
going
to
be
moved
from
rooftop
to
about
the
community
garden
that
we
have
there
now
of
which
full
disclosure
I
used
to
have
a
plot.
There
I
don't
anymore,
because
I
couldn't
keep
it
up,
but
the
people
there.
B
The
gardeners
there
in
our
community
garden
are
well
invested
in
that
garden
and
they're
very
sensitive
about
what's
going
on
around
them,
as
you
all
know,
because
they
email
every
now
and
then
and
want
to
know
so.
I
just
wanted
to
know
if
you
could
reach
out
to
their
leadership
and
just
let
them
know
about
the
change.
And
what
do
you
envision
that
abutment?
Something
like
because
there
was
one
point
that
bill
Poulin?
Who
was
the
master
gardener,
but
he's
moved
away,
had
dreams
of
making
that
that
part
of
the
property,
a
Children's
Garden?
B
L
Absolutely
amazing
for
the
record
Brad
green
with
our
toy
Partners
yeah,
we're
we're
not
gardeners
in
in
any
way
shape
or
form,
so
we
would
definitely
look
to
them
actually
to
come
up
with
a
plan
for
it
in
conjunction
with
our
Landscape
Architects,
and
you
know
kind
of
our
space
planners
to
make
sure
that
it
if
they
want
us,
we
can
certainly
do
that
if
they
want
to
have
the
area
of
Separation,
we
could
do
that
as
well.
L
We
were
just
trying
to
you,
know,
get
the
funding
and
all
the
mechanics
actually
making
the
deal
possible
done
first
and
then
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
things
that
we'll
have
to
work
on
with
the
community
garden.
You
know,
in
partnership
with
them,
we'll
have
to,
you
know,
make
sure
the
lease
fits
all
the
criteria
for
all
of
our
financial
partners
and
I.
Think
it's
a
legacy
at
least
that
we'll
have
to
you
know,
make
sure
that
you
know
works
for
them
and
all
that.
L
L
Yeah
and
that's
yeah,
it's
it's
also
all
in
the
in
these
agreements
and
it's
all
part
of
the
DRC
approval
that
we've
been
working
on
for
quite
some
time
and
there's
there's.
No
doubt
it's
going
to
be
there
well.
F
I
I
want
to
congratulate
you
on
your
nine
percent
tax
credit
award
that
was
impressive
and
took
another
look
at
your
design
again.
L
C
Today,
it'll
be
a
senior
manager's
report,
okay,
so
to
start
off
CRA
Staffing.
We
have
completed
candidate
search
for
our
three
CRA
specialist
positions.
Two
of
them
will
begin
on
July
31st
and
the
third
will
begin
on
August
14th.
We
are
very
excited.
We
had
a
total
of
29
applicants
for
these
three
positions
and
did
14
interviews
for
North
Greenwood,
the
arpa
grants
all
25
grant
agreements
have
been
drafted
and
have
been
forwarded
to
legal
for
review.
C
Once
cleared,
the
CRA
will
afford
the
agreements
to
the
arpa
grant
awardees
for
review
and
schedule
a
meeting
via
teams
or
in
person
if
they
so
choose
to
discuss
the
terms
and
deliverables.
Once
we
have
a
signed
agreement
from
the
recipients
will
start
working
on
disbursing
funds.
The
citizens
advisory
committee
for
the
north
Greenwood
CRA
we've
devised
a
process
for
onboarding
an
appointment
of
the
five
members
for
that
committee
for
the
north
Greenwood
CRA
and
our
process
will
be
outlined,
hopefully
by
July
31st.
C
This
Theory
will
advise
the
trustees
and
the
Pinellas
County
Board
of
County
commissioners
of
a
process.
Our
goal
is
to
have
this
Committee
in
place
by
September.
I
know
that
Jay
has
reached
out
to
the
Saint
Pete
CRA
to
talk
to
them
about
again
an
example
of
bylaws
and
things
that
they
have
for
their
committee.
C
C
The
CRA
Coachman
Parks
program
was
a
great
success
and
helped
Drive
Coachman
Park
attendees
back
to
our
downtown
local
Merchants.
We've
had
five
new
inquiries
from
entrepreneurs
looking
to
do
business
in
downtown
since
the
opening
of
the
park
and
we're
following
up
with
scheduling
meetings,
to
learn
more
about
what
their
vision
is.
C
C
We
have
a
survey,
that's
out
in
English
and
Spanish
to
solicit
information
about
the
grand
opening
of
the
Mercado
and
the
East
Gateway
area.
We
have
pinpointed
the
date
of
Saturday
September
30th
for
a
grand
opening
of
the
Mercado
and
in
celebration
of
Hispanic
Heritage
Month.
This
will
be
our
fourth
and
final
event
in
the
2023
living
the
culture
series
planning
details
are
still
underway
and
we
will
release
soon.
However,
please
save
the
date.
The
Cleveland
streetscape
project
is
functionally
complete.
C
We
are
currently
updating
our
log
of
properties,
Property
Owners,
business
and
Commercial
tenants
in
the
downtown
CRA.
We
are
identifying
vacancies
and
strategies
to
come
up
with
innovative
ways
to
address
them
as
well.
Our
goal
is
to
have
this
log
updated
and
current,
and
on
and
going
into
September
we
will
present
a
full
report
to
the
trustees
at
the
September
CRA
meeting.
B
So
I
have
a
couple
who
said:
you've
created
new
Grant
programs.
Vicki
has
been
spreading
the
word.
What
are
those
new
Grant.
C
C
C
B
That
survey-
that's
in
both
English
and
Spanish,
tied
to
the
opening
of
their
Mercado,
is
that
on
social
media
and
our
website.
It.
C
Has
been
pushed
out
on
social
media,
although
Vicky
is
going
door
to
door
talking
with
folks,
it's
very
simple:
it's
only
a
couple
questions.
If
they've
heard
about
the
Mercado
of
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
the
grand
opening,
what
day
they
would
prefer.
Those
are
the
type
of
questions
we're
asking
in
that
survey.
B
But
we've
set
the
grand
opening
is
September
30th,
yes,
okay,
so
kind
of
what
they'd
like
to
see.
And
yes,
okay,
you
said
the
Cleveland
streetscape
project
is
functionally
complete,
except
for
some
punch
list
items.
B
The
lanes
are
drivable
everything's
open.
Now
we
just
clean
up
the
sides
and
make
it
pretty
and
then
I
had
a
question
about
okay.
B
B
K
K
K
Okay,
we
give
it
given
the
we
have
to
be
careful,
particularly
with
arba
funds,
because
there's
a
lot
of
Treasury
rules
associated
with
them.
So
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
how
we
report
the
spending
to
treasury.
It's
not
just
blank
checks
that
we
hand
out
to
the
community
there's
expectations
from
Treasury
and
how
we
report
that
information.
Otherwise,
we
can
lose
qualifications
for
federal
funding
in
the
future.
K
K
Sort
of
I
mean
we,
we
are
using
it
as
Revenue
replacement,
which
allows
us
to
be
more
flexible
in
how
we
spend
the
funds,
but
there
are
still
treasury
reporting
requirements.
So
when
it
comes
to
Grant
programs,
particularly
the
community,
we
still
have
to
report
to
treasury,
particularly
when
you
get
into
large
dollar
amounts.
K
So
there
are
some
reporting
issues
that
have
to
go
along
with
that
and
beyond
that
I
mean
just
public
accountability
issues
for
making
sure
that,
when
we're
handing
out
checks
to
the
private
sector
that
the
council
knows
and
the
public
knows
that,
where
that
money
is
going
and
how
it's
being
accounted
for,
so
you
know
you
have
my
commitment
to
get
through
it
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
we
literally
just
got
it
so.
Okay,.
B
I
understand:
is
there
a
priority
list
that
you
have
like
how
which
ones
are
you
going
to
go
through?
First.
K
Dr
Matthews
kind
of
sent
them
to
us
as
a
badge
I
mean
she
didn't
indicate
one
priority
say
necessarily
over
the
others,
so,
barring
some
direction
from
the
CRA
to
the
contrary,
we'll
likely
just
do
it
the
order
on
which
we
received
it
so
unless
they
have
a
preference
of
one
or
over
the
other,
and
my
plan
would
be
to
get
through
them
in
the
order
in
which
they're
received
so
keep
so,
there's
there's
that
aspect
of
it
I
would
say
more
generally,
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
we'll
have
to
look
at
in
legal
is
that,
as
our
new
CRA
comes
online,
how
we
assign
workloads
and
Staffing
yeah
because
yeah,
you
know
we're
kind
of
already
at
a
point
in
legal
where
the
people
to
use
another
FTE
already.
F
K
That's
more
than
ucra
has
been
brought
online,
so
that's
something
that
I'm
looking
at
pretty
closely
to
manage
our
workload
in
legal.
It
may
be
that
we
need
to
rely
a
little
bit
more
on
Outsourcing
compute
things,
or
it
may
be
that
in
the
coming
budgeting
year
that
we
are
finally
at
that
point
or
I
actually
have
to
ask
for
another.
Fte
I've
not
wanted
to
do
that
up
until
now,
because
the
lawyers
are
expensive,
but
we
may
be
at
that
point
where
it's
more
cost
effective
to
in-source
than
it
is
outsourced.
K
So
I,
don't
I
didn't
come
today
to
prepare
to
have
that
full
conversation
with
the
council,
but
I
also
wanted
to
just
mention
that,
because
we
do
have
the
new
CRA
coming
online
yeah
and
so
we're
gonna
have
to
think
about
what
our
how
to
best
manage
our
workload
has
some
of
that
new
work
comes
online.
Absolutely.
B
C
B
Think
that'd
be
good
and,
yes,
you
know
two
tabs
or
whatever.
However,
we
want
to
do
that.
Two
different
tabs
is
the
CRA
involved
in
activating
negotiating
or
funding
any
projects
for
our
shared
some
shared
space
in
the
main
library.
Any
updates
on
that
I'm.
B
That,
okay,
just
didn't
know
if
it
was
part
of
the
CRA
funds,
because
I
know
we
funded
Clyde,
Butcher
stuff
and.
O
B
Okay
and
then
the
last
thing
is
so
I
understand
that
there's
a
property
in
North
Greenwood
at
like
the
corner
of
tangerine
and
MLK,
so
it's
kind
of
by
the
police
substation
and
there's
a
United
Way
attached
to
there
and
so
I
think
it's
on
the
south
east
side
that
the
Urban
Leadership
Coalition
has
expressed
an
interest
in
having
that
part
of
the
economic
development
along
MLK
and
I
know
that
a
while
ago
we
purchased
the
Elks
property
kind
of.
For
that
reason
right
we
wanted
it
in
City
control
as
a
big
Catalyst.
B
For
at
that
point
it
was
the
impending
CRA.
Now
we
have
the
CRA.
So
can
you
give
me
any
kind
of
an
update
on
any
discussions
that
have
been
had
about
that
property
where
that
stands?
Because
to
me
you
know
knowing
this
much.
That
seems
like
a
key
strategic
location
for
our
economic
development
in
the
north
Greenwood
CRA,
especially
because
between
Sherry
Harris
Park,
the
Elks
and
the
rec
center
I
mean
it
it
all
flows
together,
pretty
well
I!
Think
for
revitalization.
B
C
N
We've
had
a
couple
of
appraisals
on
that
property.
The
appraisals
have
come
in
around
70
or
80
000,
or
some
some
substantial
amount
less
than
what
the
asking
price
is
so
right
now
our
inclination
was
not
to
move
to
purchase
the
property
because
of
that
discrepancy
between
asking
price
and
appraised
value
and.
N
Concerns
that
there's
a
substantial
amount
of
renovation
that
needs
to
be
done
to
turn
the
the
building
into
office
and
renovate
it
so
I
think
there's
some
additional
costs
associated
with
that.
So
right
at
this
time,
I
think
we
were
last
I
talked
with
Jay.
Within
the
past
week
we
were
going
to
inform
whoever
had
the
property
for
sale
that
we're
it's,
not
our
intention
to
pursue
it
at
this
time.
At
the
asking
price.
B
So
all
right,
I
think
you
know
when
we
think
about
the
cost
of
the
Elks
and
the
cost
to
demolish
the
Elks
and
US
understanding
that
that's
a
in
that
was
a
key
location.
We
put
a
bunch
of
money
into
that
and
to
me
I
I.
My
information
is
that
that
building
is
appraised
at
like
350
to
375,
000.
B
I
mean
I,
just
I
think
that's
a
wise
use
of
our
money.
I
think
we
really
need
to
think
about
buying
that
property
I.
Think
it's
a
key
piece
of
property
in
that
in
the
north
Greenwood
cra.
N
Well,
I'll
take
another
look
at
the
appraisals.
That's
not
what
I've
been
told
about
the
appraisals
relative
to
the
asking
price
and
then,
if
the
trustees
think
that
the
city
should
be
more
aggressive
with
the
acquisition
of
property
in
that
area
than
when
we
can,
we
could
take
a
second
look
at
it.
But
I
think
the
first
thing
I
would
be
inclined
to
do
is
to
confirm
the
amount
of
the
appraisals,
because
what
I've
been
told
is
that
it's
substantially
under
the
asking
price.
F
N
You
know
a
few
thousand
dollars
one
way
or
the
other.
That
would
be
one
thing,
but
within
the
percentage
that
that
that
seemed
to
me
it
was
too
far
above
asking
or
above
appraisal.
B
B
Well,
I
think
when
we
talk
about
Jay's,
Vision
or
the
vision,
I
think
we
have
to
go
back
to
that
spring
meeting
and
I
think
you
were
there
at
North,
Greenwood
Rec
Center,
which
was
facilitated
by
former
Pinellas
about
what
the
vision
of
the
community
would
look
like
and
it
included
an
active
MLK
I
mean
I,
there's
a
lot
of
residential
there
along
MLK,
and
this
is
one
that's
that's-
was
a
business
and
has
the
potential
to
be
a
business.
N
I
I
think
my
understanding
is
that
the
the
Coalition
may
want
to
use
this
for
some
office
use.
My.
N
N
What
we
may
think
need
to
be
done
is
an
investment
in
the
property
to
make
it
usable
for
the
purpose
intended
and
then
lastly,
does
that
comport
with
what
we
we
have
as
priorities
for
the
implementation
of
our
plan,
so
I
think
that
that's
kind
of
the
basis
of
what
I
would
want
to
bring
back
to
the
trustees
to
to
have
a
complete
discussion
of
this
property
and
decide
whether
or
not
we
want
to
to
go
in
for
somewhere,
probably
in
the
350
000
range
for
the
property
and
then
what
additional
expense
that
might
entail.
N
But
right
now
the
appraised
value
is
more
than
we
think
should
be
paid
for
the
property.
So
at
this
point
we
would
not
administratively
pursue
the
acquisition
of
the
property.
If,
however,
the
trustees
feel
differently
about
that,
then
we
can.
We
can
revisit
the
acquisition
of
the
property
and
and
and
have
that
discussion
with
you.
D
That
property
yeah
I
mean
I'm
not
prepared
to
make
a
decision
without
having
the
numbers
or
other
options.
If
it's
over
the
the
appraisal
are
there
other
options
that
we
can
give
Coalition.
P
D
A
N
And
we'll
confirm
that,
like
I
said,
I've
had
a
few
discussions
about
the
appraisal
list.
So
if,
if
councilman
Beckman
believes
that
leave
somewhere,
the
appraisals
are
higher
than
what
I've
been
told,
then
obviously
that's
a
factor,
but
regardless
I
think
we
would
not
unilaterally
pursue
the
acquisition
of
property
without
some
support
from
the
trustees.
In
doing
so
because,
as
you're
aware,
we've
got
a
very
large
aggressive
plan
for
North
Greenwood
and
that
does
include
activation
and
a
lot
of
business
improvements
so
where,
when
and
how
we
prioritize
our
dollars
to
do.
B
D
We'll
take
it
so,
coincidentally,
it's
last
week,
I
was
actually
thinking
about
this.
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
General
statements
being
made
about
downtown
and
vacancies,
and
and
all
that,
and
so
I
was
actually
thinking
of
logging.
It
myself
so
I'm
very
relieved
that
you
guys
are
doing
it
because
I
want
real
numbers.
How
many
are
empty?
How
many
are
being
rented?
How
many
are
willing
to
be
rented?
How
many
are
under
so
those
numbers
to
me
will
be
very
valuable.
G
C
G
C
I
did
reach
out
to
them.
They're
they
state
that
they're
working
pretty
much
on
schedule.
Last
week
we
did
have
a
Downtown
Development
board
meeting.
One
of
the
ladies,
that
was
in
the
audience,
is
actually
part
of
the
Nolan
who
was
hired
to
help
fill
the
market
space.
C
So
I
I
did
reach
out
to
her
and
I'm
getting
her
in
touch
with
Jay
to
sit
down
and
have
meetings,
as
well
as
some
other
partners
groups
that
we
have
worked
with
in
the
past
to
see
about
getting
help
to
get
that
space
filled.
So.
C
A
E
Q
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council
so
incredibly
excited
to
be
able
to
present
this
first
budget.
I
absolutely
want
to
thank
the
finance
department
of
budget
division
for
their
assistance
with
us.
They
really
did
a
lot
of
hand-holding
for
me
and
explained
a
lot
so
I
know
that
we
have
had
several
one-on-one
conversations
about
what
the
budget
was
going
to
entail.
Q
We
focused
this
Budget
on
the
priority
list
that
we
did
through
our
strategic
planning
process
that
and
the
message
clearly
that
what
council's
priorities
were,
what
to
maintain
what
we
had
so
the
budget
that
is
before
you
today
is
a
balanced
budget.
Today
we
are
asking
for
the
military
to
be
adopted.
Q
We
as
the
title
States
we're
going
to
have
some
Civic
budget
meetings
to
where
you
can
ask
additional
questions,
not
that
you
can't
ask
questions
today,
but
the
goal
of
today
is
really
about
the
millage
rate,
and
then
we
have
future
meetings
to
go
through
all
the
stuff.
That's
in
the
budget,
but
just
in
term
of
some
some
key
points.
Q
It
does
have
the
same
Village
rate
as
we
did
last
year.
Staff
is
not
recommended
using
a
rollback
rate,
we
do
have
an
increase
of
14.9
ftes.
A
majority
of
those
positions
are
in
relation
to
the
park
coming
on
board
and
being
activated.
Now
we
will
have
a
staffing
update
at
the
August
meeting,
because
I
know,
what's
on
a
lot
of
your
minds,
is
how
we're
doing
in
terms
of
all
the
vacancies.
Yes,
we
do
still
have
significant
number
of
vacancies.
Q
I
know
that
HR
has
deployed
all
kinds
of
different
strategies
to
fill
those
with
some
great
Partnerships
from
the
Department,
so
we
have
made
progress,
but
yes,
we
do
still
have
a
really
high
vacancy
rate.
However,
we
do
have
you
know
the
park
coming
on
board
and
there's
not
a
way
to
absorb
that
without
adding
some
ftes
and
so
that
the
bigger
projects
that
are
in
here
again
all
focused
on
what
was
approved
as
the
priority
list.
But
we
have
the
new
city,
hall
and
MSB
renovation.
Q
H
Good
afternoon
mayor
council,
Kaling
Council
budget
director,
the
fiscal
year
2324
proposed
budget
for
All
City
operating
funds,
the
special
Revenue
funds
and
capital
Improvement
funds
is
724
million,
one
hundred
eighty
four
thousand
three
hundred
and
six
dollars.
This
reflects
a
nine
percent
increase
from
the
fiscal
year,
22-23
mid-year,
amended
total
City
budget.
H
This
slide
is
a
breakdown
of
that
724
million
dollars
by
Fun
type.
The
general
fund
budget
for
fiscal
year
24
reflects
an
8
increase
from
the
current
Year's
amended
budget.
The
fiscal
year
24
budget
includes
the
new
ftes
that
are
proposed
annual
wage
adjustments
operating
expended
operating
expenses
for
Coachman
Park
operations.
This
is
the
first
full
year
of
that
that
service
costs
for
Imagine
bonds
and
increased
Capital
funding.
H
The
utility
funds
total,
which
includes
the
budget
for
water
and
sewer
storm
water,
gas
and
solid
waste
and
recycling
operations,
reflects
an
eight
percent
increase
from
the
current
Year's
amended
budget.
This
increases
primarily
due
to
funding
for
capital
projects
in
both
the
water
sewer
fund
and
solid
waste
and
recycling
fund
Better
Price
fund
totals
includes
the
budget
for
the
operations
of
the
Beach
Marina.
The
Air
Park,
the
Clearwater
Harbor
Marina
and
parking
is
an
11
increase
over
the
amended
current
Year's
budget.
H
H
The
budget
for
internal
Services
reflects
a
six
percent
increase
from
the
current
Year's
amended
budget
due
to
increase
in
expenses
for
insurances
and
the
Central
Insurance
Fund
increase
ftes
and
salaries
and
general
services,
and
increase
software
and
maintenance
contract
costs.
Nit
special
Revenue
funds
include
the
special
Development
Fund.
That's
the
fund
that
accounts
for
restricted
Revenue
sources
allocated
to
capital
projects.
H
The
special
program
fund,
which
is
used
to
account
for
both
revenues
and
expenditures
related
to
Grants
and
special
activities
and
other
housing
assistance
funds.
Special
Revenue
funds
reflect
a
five
percent
decrease
in
comparison
to
the
current
Year's
amended
budget,
and
this
is
due
to
a
decrease
in
planned.
Penny
funding
for
capital
projects
in
the
upcoming
year
and
the
capital
Improvement
fund
reflects
an
18
percent
increase
from
the
fiscal
year.
23
budget
this
chart
represents
the
change
in
tax
what
property
values.
H
The
proposed
military
of
5.8850
Mills
is
recommended
for
the
fiscal
year
2324
budget.
This
is
the
same
rate
as
was
levied
in
the
current
year
due
to
growth
and
taxable
values.
This
proposed
rate
is
10.27
percent
greater
than
the
rollback
rate.
The
rollback
rate
is
the
rate
is
the
millage
rate
that
would
provide
the
county
with
the
same
property
tax
revenues,
as
was
received
in
the
prior
year.
H
Using
this
proposed
military
property.
Tax
revenues
are
projected
to
be
95.2
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year
24..
This
represents
an
increase
of
approximately
10.2
million
or
12
percent.
Over
the
fiscal
year,
23's
budget
of
the
95.2
million
projected
approximately
90.7
million
will
support
general
fund
operations
and
4.5
million
represents
the
road
millage
used
for
maintenance
of
city
streets
revenues
that
support
general
fund
operations
reflect
an
increase
of
8
overall
in
comparison
to
the
fiscal
year.
23
mid-year
amended
revenues
as
discussed
on
the
previous
slide.
H
Advantorm
tax
revenues
are
budgeted
at
90.7
million,
a
12
percent
increase
the
category
of
other
taxes
includes
business
tax
receipts,
which
is
budgeted
less
than
the
current
year
based
on
prior
year.
Actual
revenues
and
the
all
other
Revenue
category
is
anticipate
to
increase
by
36
percent
in
comparison
to
the
current
year.
This
category
includes
building
permit
fees,
fines,
interest
earnings
and
various
small
miscellaneous
revenues.
This
increases
due
to
the
interest
earnings
projected
next
year,
an
increase
to
interest
earnings
and
new
revenues
estimated
for
the
ticket
rebate
from
Ruth
Eckert
hall
for
concerts
at
the
sound.
H
This
chart
also
shows
general
fund
revenues
by
category
ad
valarum
taxes
is
our
largest
revenue
Source
at
45
percent
of
total
revenues.
Intergovernmental
revenues
represent
the
next
largest
category
at
15
percent
and
the
categories
of
utility
taxes,
franchise
and
other
taxes
and
charges
for
services
revenues
each
are
approximately
nine
percent
of
total
transfer.
Revenues
are
seven
percent
and
small
revenues
account
for
six
percent
of
total.
H
H
The
budget
for
Parks
and
Recreation
has
increased
by
14
percent.
This
is
primarily
due
to
including
the
budget
for
All
personnel
and
operating
costs
associated
with
the
operations
of
Coachman
Park
and
the
improved
Cleveland
streetscape
also
included
is
new
funding
for
Implement
for
improvements
to
right-of-way
Landscaping.
H
The
four
percent
decrease
to
library.
Services
is
due
to
the
large
Capital
transfer
for
Maine
library
Renovations.
That
was
budgeted
in
the
current
year.
Planning
and
Development
has
increased
by
13
in
comparison
to
the
current
year,
and
this
is
primarily
due
to
the
addition
of
three
new
ftes
in
that
department
and
the

J
Good
afternoon
Economic,
Development
and
housing,
marketing
and
Communications
coordinator
in
February,
we
launched
a
marketing
campaign
to
drive
awareness
about
the
development
opportunities
along
the
US-19
Corridor,
so
I'm
here
today,
along
with
our
entire
economic
development
team,
to
provide
an
update
about
our
marketing
campaign
activities.
Since
we've
launched.
J
Since
mayor
angst
was
not
with
us,
when
we
first
brought
this
to
council
earlier
in
the
year,
I'd
like
to
provide
a
brief
history
as
to
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today
in
2017,
the
city
rezone,
nearly
4
000
Parcels
along
the
U.S
19
Corridor,
and
with
that
rezoning
came
and
enhanced
US-19
zoning
District
development
standard.
But
time
will
allow
us
to
have
a
more
urban
form
of
development.
J
J
And
we're
using
a
variety
of
marketing
channels
in
order
to
communicate
this
message
as
we're
using
digital
advertising
on
well-respected
National
Industry
websites
that
are
frequented
by
our
Target
audiences
of
commercial
brokers
and
developers
and
site
selectors.
We
are
sponsoring
content
in
both
Regional
and
National
Industry
Publications,
we're
sharing
the
video
through
social
media
and
through
event,
sponsorships.
We
are
leveraging
influencer
relationships
to
have
them
share
our
information
as
well
with
their
following,
and
we
are
continuing
in
direct
engagement
with
our
Target
audiences.
J
J
So
our
media
result
our
marketing
results.
So
far,
we've
earned
three
on-camera
interviews
with
local
affiliates
of
fox
ABC
and
CBS.
We've
had
placement
in
over
16
local
and
national
news
articles
we've
placed
a
full
page
ad
in
site
selection
magazine,
which
was
mailed
to
40
000
subscribers
and
placed
on
their
website.
J
J
J
We
also
are
the
lead
digital
banner
ads
this
month
on
both
Urban
Land
Institute
and
site
selection,
Magazine's
homepages,
and
we
are
currently
running
a
targeted
video
campaign
on
LinkedIn
we're
going
to
be
looking
for
conferences
and
trade
shows
where
we
can
get
in
front
of
our
Target
audiences
and
to
build
upon
the
momentum
of
this
US-19
campaign
in
October.
We
will
be
launching
the
property
Redevelopment
opportunity
partnership
program.
J
Now
this
is
a
program
that's
designed
to
establish
an
inventory
of
sites
throughout
all
of
Clearwater,
with
the
capacity
to
support
our
Target
industry
office
and
Industrial
growth,
as
well
as
our
property,
Redevelopment
and
I'm
thrilled
to
share
that.
For
the
second
year
in
a
row,
we
have
received
a
25
000
Grant
from
Duke
Energy,
to
support
our
marketing
efforts
of
this
program
and
in
the
upcoming
fiscal
year.
D
I'm
really
impressed
with
your
marketing
efforts,
they're,
so
extensive
and
diverse,
so
so
kudos
to
your
department.
So
my
question
is,
in
things
like,
let's
say,
for
example,
the
monthly
lunch,
the
launch
and
I
think
it
was
in
February
what
has
been
the
feedback
and
response
from
the
developers
and
and
and
all
your
efforts
that
you've
put
in
put
forth
but
has
been
the
response
feedback
we've.
J
Had
an
amazing
response,
we've
received
phone
calls
from
developers
from
brokers
who
are
interested
in
learning
more
and
not
just
about
those
four
properties
about
about
the
other
properties
that
are
available
for
redevelopment
people
that
own
properties
that
are
coming
out
and
saying
you
know,
I
might
be
interested
in
having
some
conversations
about
you
know
having
my
properties
redeveloped,
so
we've
had
a
really
great
response.
Has.
S
R
I
think
there
might
be
some
other
things
in
the
works,
but
nobody
has
come
forward
with
any
specifics.
So
I
can't.
J
B
Thank
you
Audra.
That
was,
it
is
exciting
to
see
what's
happening
and
it's
only
been
a
short
amount
of
time.
When
we
do
advertising
with
you
know,
site
selection,
magazine
or
others.
Do
you
get
I'm
sure
we
get
analytics
on
clicks
and
things
like
that?
Yes,
okay,
so
we're
happy
with
the
number
of
clicks
and
what
they're
doing
yes
allowing.
J
It
time
to
work
and
grow
absolutely.
You
know
we're
getting
a
really
good
they're
they're,
delivering
Impressions
we're
getting
clicks
through
to
our
landing
page,
so
I'm
very
pleased
with
the
results
that
we're
receiving
so
far
good.
J
Think
just
having
a
variety
of
different
marketing
concepts
that
we're
delivering
is
just
having
that
repeated
engagement
and
that
repeated
top
of
Mind
mind
awareness
rather
than
you
know,
running
one
ad.
We
need
to
redesign
it
to
people's
interests
and
to
try
different
platforms,
so
we're
researching
different
places
that
we
can
serve
these
with
the
audiences
that
we
need
to
be
in
front
of
so
I.
Think,
just
with
continual
engagement
that
you
know
we're
going
to
continue
to
see
the
positive
response
that
we're
receiving
great.
B
Property
Redevelopment,
like
inventory
program,
so
that
seems
fantastic
and
hopefully
it'll
dovetail
with
our
our
property
inventory
of
downtown
Clearwater
or
both
cras.
But
can
you
give
me
any
kind
of
a
who's
responsible
for
that?
Is
it
going
to
be
Economic,
Development
and
housing,
and
do
you
have
enough
staff
to
do
it
and
what's
the
timeline
for
a
deliverable.
J
And
so
we're
going
to
be
launching
it
in
the
new
fiscal
year
starting
a
marketing
campaign
and
we
foresee
it
going
through
the
full
fiscal
year,
so
it
will
be
run
by
our
economic
development
team.
We
have
you
know
our
senior
Economic
Development
coordinator.
We
have
Dylan
Mayu
who
oversees
our
Real
Estate
Services.
So
really
it's
a
team
effort.
We
all
will
be
working
together
on
this
program
to
to
launch
it
and
continually
get
it
in
front
of
people,
and
we
can
provide
more
details
as
it
gets
closer
to
the
launch
on
the
program.
Specifics.
B
J
So
we're
we're
getting
the
message
out
that
we're
looking
for
properties
that
are
interested
in
maybe
getting
added
to.
We
have
a
website
and
it's
on
our
Economic
Development
landing
page,
it's
and
so
on
there.
We
highlight
different
properties
throughout
Clearwater
that
are
available
for
purchase
or
for
lease.
So
we
can
add
those.
For
example,
we
can
add
those
properties
to
our
website
and
then
through
our
if
we
have
a
property
owner,
that's
interested
in
working
with
us.
J
B
So
the
detail
goes
into:
is
this
property
one
that
someone
is
open
to
having
redeveloped
or
or
sold?
It's
not
just
vacant
property
that
sits
there
correct,
whether
it's
Hercules
or
downtown
or
whatever
correct?
If
you
don't
have
an
inventory
of
all
of
our
underutilized
or
vacant
properties
throughout
the
city,
because
we're
only
going
to
list
those
that
some
owner
has
said,
I'm
interested
in
doing
something
with
my.
J
Brother,
correct,
correct
we're
looking
to
partner
with
people
to
help
get
the
word
about
out
about
these
properties.
So
these
four
that
were
selected
for
US
19.
We
just
wanted
to
provide
illustrations
and
really
help
people
reimagine
what's
possible
for
the
addition
for
this
program.
We
would
like
to
partner
with
property
owners
in
order
to
you
know,
and
their
Brokers.
Of
course,
if.
R
S
Deed
from
the
MLS,
so
if
a
property
is
listed,
it's
coming
into
our
website,
so
it
doesn't
actually
come.
S
F
S
B
Okay,
so
you
get
a
list
that
comes
in
from
the
brocos.
We
got
this
list
of,
let's
say
it's
300
and
we
look
at
that
at
that
list
and
we're
saying
boy
that
one
looks
attractive
for
possible
Redevelopment
or
development,
and
then
you
reach
out
well
we're
not
going
to
reach
out
to
that
owner
because
we
already
know
if
they're
listed
on
on
this,
you
know
broker's
website.
We
know
that
they're
interested.
We.
T
J
A
You
free
station
I
mean
when
I
had
my
meeting
or
the
big
crew
get
together.
That's
one
thing:
we
hammered
home
with
the
help
of
Mr
Doug
that
we
had
7
000
Parcels
over
seven
miles
on
US
19
and
4
000
4
000.
Excuse
me
well,
seven
thousand
sounds
better,
but
it's
a
lot
of
parts.
No
I
think
I
said
four
thousand
anyway.
N
I
think
you
know
this
has
the
opportunity
to
be
probably
a
substantial
of
economic
development
for
us
as
the
Redevelopment
of
the
beach,
and
you
know,
I,
remember
back
when
we
designed
and
adopted
the
hotel
dancer
Reserve,
we
were
just
going
into
the
Great
Recession.
There
was
a
few
years.
There
nothing
happened
and
then
then
the
the
lightning
struck
and
and
we're
going
on
a
decade
plus
now
with
new
hotels,
still
being
permitted.
So
I
think
you
know,
the
challenge
for
us
is
to
manage
our
expectations.
N
Remember
that
when
all
else
fails,
lowering
your
standards
is
not
a
good
Economic
Development
strategy
that
we
continue
to
maintain
an
aggressive
approach
to
Market
the
incredible
opportunity,
as
you
said,
seven
miles,
four
thousand
properties
and
really
kind
of
sell
ourselves
in
in
my
mind,
I
see
it
as
kind
of
the
West
Shore
of
Pinellas,
County
and
and
frankly,
there's
probably
some
days
we're
about
as
close
to
the
airport
as
some
people
who
live
in
WestShore
are-
and
you
also
looked
at
in
the
next
year
or
so.
N
The
city
of
Clearwater,
through
Bayside,
bridge
and
US
19,
is
going
to
be
connected
to
the
regional
Interstate
System.
We
are
going
to
be
from
a
vehicular
traffic
standpoint,
much
more
connected
to
the
region,
I
think
U.S,
19
and
the
marketing
and
everything
the
staff
is
doing
is
positioning
us
really
to
take
that.
Take
you
who
may
look
at
West
Shore
not
find
exactly
what
they
want,
or
maybe
the
prices
per
square
foot
a
little
too
high.
N
We
may
be
an
outstanding
alternative
to
that
down
the
line
and
and
when
we
do
break
through
that
that
market
ceiling,
if
you
will
I,
think
we've
got
years
of
opportunity
along
us,
19.
I
will
find
that
the
next
census
track,
probably
that
the
city,
the
simulation,
has
grown
primarily
because
of
the
massive
number
of
development
that's
occurring
in
the
U.S
19..
So
that's
going
to
drive
us
to
a
higher
population,
I
think
Economic.
Development
opportunities
are
soon
to
follow
so
I'm
optimistic
about
that.
How
many
units
are
going
in.
A
F
I
Yeah
so
I
mean
it's
nice
to
see
all
the
apartments
out
there,
but
that's
not
really
what
we
want
to
see
all
up
and
down.
19.
I
mean
it's
nice
to
have
that
there,
but
I
mean
it
was
designed
to
have
like
activity
centers
up
and
down.
So
that's
real
important
as
you're
talking
to
property
owners
and
people
about
other
things
that
can
be
put
there.
Besides,
you
know
Apartments.
A
All
right,
3.2.
S
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council,
this
is
Denise
Sanderson,
Economic,
Development
and
housing
and
I'll
try
to
be
brief.
This
is
a
public
hearing
on
Thursday,
so
I'll
dive
into
some
of
these
things,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
most
assuredly
I'll
do
my
best
to
answer
them.
S
But,
as
I
stated
in
the
agenda,
the
2023-24
annual
action
plan
is
the
fourth
annual
action
plan
of
the
five-year
Consolidated
plan.
The
creation
of
the
Consolidated
plan
and
annual
action
plans
are
required
by
Hud
annually.
Excuse
me,
the
annual
action
plan
annual
document
required
annually
of
all
jurisdictions
receiving
one
or
more
of
five
different
Federal
allocations.
S
So
the
interaction
plan
or
AAP
is
a
lengthy
document,
68
pages
plus
20
or
more
pages
of
attachments,
I'm
sure
you'll
write
a
cover
to
cover,
but
rather
than
review
the
entire
document
with
y'all
just
hit
on
some
important
points.
So
the
process
of
the
creation
of
this
document
really
begins
with
identifying
anticipated
sources
and
uses
of
funds
for
sources.
We
look
at
anticipated
receipt
of
program
income
that
is
generally
the
repayment
of
loans.
S
We
look
at
carryover
funds
from
previous
years
and
I
should
note
that
some
of
these
funds
may
already
be
encumber,
but
until
they've
been
first,
they
show
up
in
this
document.
We
look
at
expected
entitlement
funding.
Of
course,
this
year
for
23-24,
we
expect
our
cdbg
entitlement
to
be
913
337.,
home
phones
is
550,
32,
649
and
ship
is
expected
to
be
one
million
365
854..
S
With
all
these
sources
of
funds.
The
estimate
is
just
just
over
11
million
dollars
that
we
anticipate
having
available
so
part
of
the
process
of
determining
the
use
of
funds
begins
in
January
when
we
call
for
applications
from
our
non-profit
organizations.
Applicants
have
30
days
to
submit
for
public
services,
public
facilities,
micro,
Enterprise
Etc,
and
we
then
follow
this
review
process
or
rank.
It
goes
before
the
neighborhood
and
affordable
housing,
Advisory
Board,
and
in
may
they
made
a
recommendation
for
the
funding
of
cdbg
funds
that
Grant
processes
were
primarily
the
cdbg
funds.
S
This
year
we
see
we
received
22
qualifying
applications,
eight
for
public
services,
eight
for
public
facilities,
two
for
homebuyer
education
and
two
for
processing
and
purchase
assistance,
loans
and
two
from
micro,
Enterprise
activities
for
other
uses.
We
look
at
trans
and
pipeline
projects,
so
the
funding
allocations.
I'll
summarize
them
1.149.
Excuse
me:
1.1
million
dollars
approximately
a
public
facility
projects.
These
are
eight
products.
The
eight
projects
I
mentioned
that
we
received
applications
plus
some
tbds
so
that
we
can
handle
public
facility
projects
throughout
the
year.
S
S
Administration
is
funded
at
405,
000
16
and
that's
used
for
salary
benefits
and
operating
expenses
of
our
housing
division
staff.
388
352
is
allocated
to
academic
development
activities.
The
the
Ed
activities
for
this
line
item
is
limited
to
businesses
or
business
support
organizations
that
serve
a
low
mod
income
clientele
or
are
located
in
a
low
Bond
income
area,
so
not
to
be
confused
with
the
other
types
of
Economic
Development
stuff
we
were
just
talking
about.
Our
housing
activities
are
funded
at
8.7
million
dollars
or
79
percent
of
total
funds
available.
S
Basically,
if
we
don't
have
a
category
in
there,
then
we
can't
fund
it
at
some
point,
so
we
like
to
have
each
category
allocated
or
at
least
identified
in
the
plan
so
that
we
can
fund
it
if
needed.
Another
example
of
that
is
disaster,
you'll
find
that
and
and
then
annual
action
plan.
We
use
this.
Unfortunately,
during
covid
we
could
use
it
if
we
were
hit
by
a
hurricane,
Etc
or
other
forms
of
disaster.
S
There
is
no
dollar
allocated
to
that,
but
if
needed,
we
could
put
money
in
there
without
having
to
go
through
an
amendment
process,
potentially
so
the
neighborhood,
affordable,
housing,
Advisory
Board,
met
on
July,
11th
and
unanimously
recommended
Council
approval,
and
presuming
that
you
do
the
same
on
Thursday,
we'll
incorporate
minutes
from
the
meetings.
Any
public
comments
received
into
the
attachments
and
submit
this
to
HUD
by
our
our
deadline
of
August
15th
and
the
plan
goes
into
effect
on
10-1
happy
to
take
any
questions,
questions.
B
Thank
you,
Denise,
there's,
never
enough
money
right.
If
we
look
at
the
third
attachment
on
public
facilities
and
infrastructure
improvements,
I
noticed
that
we
have
two
lines
to
be
determined
public
facilities,
projects
to
be
determined
public
infrastructure
with,
for
you
know,
over
five
or
500,
almost
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
those
two
things
are
the
projects
that
are
listed
above
that
from
the
r
Coke
Villages
Pam
St
Vincent,
our
club.
All
that
stuff
did
everybody
get
fully
funded
at
what
they
asked
for.
They.
S
Did
I'm
sorry,
I,
don't
know
if
you're
doing
that
question
they
did
get
fully
fun,
and
actually
this
is
something
that
we've
talked
about,
that
it's
a
process
that
I
intend
to
change
next
year
and
the
reason
for
that.
We
currently
limit
it
at
ninety
thousand
dollars
a
maximum
request
so
that
we
can
fund
all
projects.
You'll
see
some
at
95
000,
because
we
have
five
thousand
dollars
in
hard
costs
that
that
are
considered
project
delivery,
cost
inspections
and
the
like,
so
I
think
in
future
years.
S
We'll
put
that
at
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
so
and
then
we'll
go
through
a
competitive
cycle.
Much
like
we
do
on
our
Public
Services
process
that
you're
I
know
you're
familiar
with
and
the
reason
I'm
suggesting
the
change
is
when
we
get
a
new
application
for
public
facilities.
S
It's
about
a
three-month
process
before
we
can
issue
a
notice
to
perceive
because
of
all
of
the
other
requirements
that
we
have
to
go
through
before
we
can
say
you
can
pull
a
permit
and
we
can
pay
you
so
I'd
rather
get
all
of
those
asks
at
this
time
of
the
year.
So
in
October
they're
ready
to
go
and
we
can
spend
those
dollars
and
and
not
be
putting
fires
out
every
single
day
on
those
kinds
of
projects.
S
We
are,
and
then
some
may
not
get
fully
funded
in
in
future
years,
but
at
least
we'll
be
able
to
look
at
an
entirety
of
projects
so
as
it
relates
to
the
ones
that
you
see
here.
Those
eight
projects
we're
going
upon
approval
following
approval
and
submittal
to
HUD,
we'll
go
back
to
those
eight
recipients
and
say:
is
there
anything
more
within
this
project
that
you
did
not
request,
that
is
under
a
180
000
cap?
We'll
look
at
funding
that.
S
B
And
then
the
programs,
like
rental
assistance,
down
payment
things
like
that,
are
those
all
depleted,
or
should
we
be
putting
more
money
into
those
types
of
things
referring.
S
To
tene-based
rental
assistance,
not
sure
on
the
tenant-based
rental
assistance
project
that
you
see
there
is
through
Clearwater
housing
authority,
and
so
those
are
for
their
Home
Choice
housing,
Choice
voucher
recipients.
So
it's
really
a
captured
audience.
We
do
have
have
housing
navigation
Services,
as
you
know,
through
homeless
leadership,
Alliance
and
that's
sort
of
a
different.
F
B
And
then
I
had
a
couple
questions
on
the
second
page.
Can
any
of
the
funds
in
all
of
these
accounts
so
home
cdbg,
all
that
stuff
they
used
for
Community
Development
I,
like
for
a.
B
All
right
to
purchase
property,
for
you
know
where
you
have
housing
I,
don't
know
why
it's
lost
maintenance,
acquisitional
properties,
it's
food
or
property
where
people
own
the
house,
but
it
has
to
remain
affordable
and
then,
when
you
sell
it
it,
what
is
that
called
the
by
news?
Restricted?
I'm?
Sorry,
no!
That's!
Okay!
It's
always
up
at
the
affordable
housing
conference.
They
talk
about
Community,
Land
Trust,
to
purchase
property
for
that
yeah.
F
S
Do
not
have
a
community
interest
here,
I'm,
not
sure
that
it's
under
anything
that
we've
explored,
but
we
often
do.
We
see
projects
come
forward
quite
often
where
we're
a
party
to
a
project
so
most
recently
as
an
example
1454
South
MLK,
actually,
that's,
probably
not
a
great
one,
306
South
Washington
was
one
and
I
believe
the
community.
Clearwater
Gardens
is
another
at
1250,
Cleveland
Street,
where
that
property
is
going
to
be
acquired
by
the
land,
trust
of
Pinellas
County,
and
that
makes
it
affordable
for
99
years
have.
S
You
know
I,
don't
know
if
we've
ever
thought
about
it.
I
know,
that's
not
anything.
That's
captured
my
attention
in
the
last
year
doesn't
mean
that
we
couldn't
be
exploring
that
we
used
to
utilize
bright
Community
Trust.
Quite
often
they
would
acquire
a
property
put
it
in
the
land,
trust
it
usually
had
a
house
sitting
on
it
and
they
would
rehab
the
house
and
sell
it
to
a
qualifying.
Buyer
they've
had
a
lot
of
changes
within
that
organization
in
the
last
couple
of
years
and
I've
not
seen
any
activity
out
of
there.
S
Additionally,
though,
the
cost
of
real
estate
has
been
really
prohibitive
for
a
lot
of
these
organizations
to
acquire
rehab
and
find
a
qualifying
buyer
for
sale.
It's
a
Confluence
of
Market
interest
rates,
insurance
and
insurance,
girls
and
labor,
and
all
those
other
things
that
everybody
probably
in
this
room,
is
experiencing
I.
S
As
I
said
at
the
top
part
of
my
discussion,
some
of
these
dollars
in
fact,
are
encumbered,
but
until
a
shovel
is
coming
out
of
the
ground,
we
can't
disperse.
So
it's
a
little
bit
misleading
here,
unfortunately,
but
as
a
fed,
you
know
feds,
don't
really
care
about
what's
in
covered,
they
care
about.
What's
spend
so-
and
this
is
a
federal
document.
D
So
I
was
pleased
to
see
not
only
all
the
citizen
participation
Outreach
efforts,
but
how
well
you
detail
them.
So
it's
easy
reference
for
me
when
anyone
says
well,
I
didn't
know
about
that.
What
did
you,
how
do
we
know
and
then,
like
I,
can
say
well,
there's
12
ways
that
we
did
some
Outreach,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
not
only
doing
it
but
so
effectively
documenting
it
to
a
very
easy
reference.
For
me,
great.
S
D
U
Good
afternoon
Council,
my
name
is
Alex
Leon
I'm,
an
interim
assistant
director
for
the
gas
supply,
and
this
island
is
looking
for
your
acceptance
of
the
gas
Eastman
for
us
to
install
and
maintain
our
infrastructure.
The
extension
designer
allows
to
serve
three
commercial
customers.
V
This
contract
is
for
the
replacement
of
Park
amenities
that
we
have
in
all
of
our
Parks,
including
park
benches
receptacles,
the
trash
receptacles
picnic
tables.
Last
year
we
began
a
new
program
of
replacing
the
metal
and
the
wooden
benches
with
concrete
and
recycled
type
Furniture.
We
found
that
this
very
attractive
material,
it's
easy
to
maintain
and,
most
importantly,
it's
sustainable.
It
gives
us
a
life
cycle
of
about
20
years
for
this
equipment
also
including
the
server
you
saw.
V
One
basketball
tree
a
basketball
tree
is,
is
five
baskets,
it's
at
different
heights
and
it
allows
for
people
of
all
abilities
all
ages
to
be
able
to
use
them
and
we're
going
to
try
it
at
Crest,
Lake
Park
it'll
be
the
first
one
we
have
and
we
think
it's
going
to
be
very
successful.
We'll
put
it
in
some
of
our
other
Parks
available
or
any
questions,
questions
or
comments.
B
I
just
had
a
question:
is
there
a
list
of
where
these
pieces
are
going
and
an
expected
timeline
of
their
arrival
and
installation?
Well,.
V
V
A
A
V
Yes,
this
arcader
director
partner
I
said
that
every
time
arcader
corrected
Parks
and
Recreation
figure
it
out.
Okay,
it's
for
the
record
all
right
during
our
summer
and
our
holiday
day
camps
as
well
as
special
events,
we
lease
Incredibles
that
are
used
as
part
of
the
program.
Obviously,
these
in
federals
are
very
popular
with
the
children
and
and
the
camp
people
and
the
camp
counselors
are
the
ones
that
actually
take
care
of
them
and
and
take
care
of
the
children
when
they
use
them.
This
item
would
not
normally
come
before
you.
V
However,
it's
a
purchasing
item
and
it's
really
about
fifty
thousand
dollars.
However,
we're
bringing
it
before
you,
because
there
is
a
whole
harmless
clause
in
there
whereby
the
the
agency
did
not
want
to
take
on
the
liability
for
that.
Basically,
what
they
do
is
they
deliver
these
we
blow
them
up.
Our
staff
monitors
them,
monitors
the
people,
the
kids
that
go
in
and
for
your
record,
the
city
owns
several
of
these
that
we
have
used
at
other
events,
we've
not
had
any
problems
in
the
last
10
years.
V
So
with
that
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions,
any
questions,
questions
comments.
A
V
E
V
The
harsh
environment,
the
heavy
use
that
we
have
on
Clearwater
Beach,
the
wooden
deck
that
surrounds
Pier,
60
concession
and
restroom
area.
It's
splintery,
it's
old,
it's
worn
out
and
we've
been
replacing
boards
trying
to
flip
them
over.
But
it's
a
time
now
that
it
needs
to
be
replaced.
This
proposal
is
for
all
the
work,
the
seated
to
remove
all
of
the
wood
structure.
That's
there
and
we
are
going
to
propose.
We
propose
to
replace
it
with
a
concrete
deck
and
include
new
aluminum
railing
Ada
ramps
and
stair
rally.
V
Staff
is
proposing
this
construction,
basically
to
reduce
the
maintenance
requirements
that
we
have
out
there
and
it'll
give
us
a
more
longevity
for
this
deck
structure.
We're
requesting
approval
now,
because
this
is
a
lead
time
for
the
aluminum
railing
of
four
months.
So
that's
why
we're
asking
for
it
now.
The
project
itself
will
only
take
60
days
hope
to
be
done
by
Spring
available
to
answer
any
of
your
questions,
any
questions
or.
B
The
only
thing
I
had
to
comment
on
or
ask
about
this
one
is
when
you
are
making
the
new
ramp.
Obviously
ADA,
Compliant
I
would
hope
that
we
look
at
that
report
that
we
paid
for
the
90
million
dollars
in
findings
of
ADA
compliance
throughout
our
city,
which
the
number's
gone
down,
but
still
to
look
at
that
report
as
we
get
architectural
renderings
of
what
that
ramp's
going
to
be.
So
we
can
check
off
all
of
those
findings
related
to
that
absolutely.
V
V
Right
on
May,
the
15th
of
this
year,
the
city
council
approved
a
Review
Committee,
the
the
ranking
of
several
firms
that
had
applied
for
this.
This
is
for
the
Professional
Services
proposal.
Rfp
3123,
the
top-ranked
firm,
was
CAA
icon.
The
services
provided
by
them
will
be
the
negotiation
strategy,
development
of
the
deal
structure,
the
lease
analysis,
negotiation,
advisory
and
support,
and
the
document
execution
support.
We
are
hopeful
that
the
negotiations
would
take
only
three
months.
That's
we
really
do
hope.
You
know
when
everybody's
ready
to
sit
down
at
the
table.
V
B
I
just
had
appreciation,
advisory
and
support
the
deal
structure,
advisory,
advise
on
comparability
with
other
spring
training
venues,
so
I
looked
up
the
grapefruit
league
and
where
all
the
venues
are
most
of
them
are
along.
You
know
the
coast
of
Florida,
although
I
would
venture
that
no
one
has
our
beautiful
beach.
You
know
dunedin's
real
close,
but
they
don't
have
the
beach.
Q
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
know.
We've
had
a
couple
conversations
as
it
relates
to
hiring
a
consultant,
and
so
what
we
are
agreeing
to
is
that
they
will
be
the
point
person
that
will
handle
the
negotiations
so
just
like
in
other
negotiations.
Q
You
know
when,
when
you
are
in
negotiations-
and
you
have
a
point
person,
that
is
the
point
person
that
handles
all
the
communications
between
the
two,
and
so
we
want
that
this
structured
that
same
way.
This
is
a
significant
task
for
us
and
a
very
important
one
to
the
city,
and
so
in
our
best
efforts
to
make
sure
that
this
gets
done.
Q
Think
after
having
Communications
And
discussing
this
with
the
city
attorney,
what
the
recommendation
would
be
is
if
the
council
wants
to
do
this,
that
a
council
member
go
and
then
the
city
manager
can
go
as
well
to
bring
back
any
information.
The
reason
we're
making
the
recommendation
in
terms
of
it
being
a
council
member,
is
to
just
avoid
any
kind
of
perceptions
as
it
relates
to
Sunshine
violation
or
anything
along
those
lines.
So
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
know
we
had
that
that
everybody
understands
that
trip
has
been
planned.
B
A
It's
relationship
continuing,
it's,
not
the
negotiation,
all
right,
anything
else,
all
right!
Thank
you!
Consent
on
this
one,
yes,
yeah,
okay,
four,
five
and
five
excuse
me.
V
Yes,
Sharif
Eckert
Hall,
applied
for
and
received
a
500
000
Grant,
it's
a
cultural,
an
Arts
Grant,
the
city
as
the
owner
of
the
land
and
the
buildings
is
required
to
enter
into
a
10-year
restrictive
covenant
with
the
state
of
Florida
to
ensure
that
the
facility
will
be
used
as
a
cultural
facilities.
It
should
be
pointed
out
that
the
city
agreement
with
rules
Eckerd
Hall
now
basically
is
extends
for
about
eight
years
or
July,
17th,
I'm,
sorry,
July,
1st
2031,
but
to
operate
or
to
meet
this
restrictive
covenant.
V
We
need
two
additional
years
to
July
17
2033..
It
is
our
feeling
or
the
staff's
feeling
that
even
if
Ruth
Eckerd
Hall
agreement
was
not
renewed,
which
would
have
to
come
up,
the
city
would
still
operate
the
facility
in
the
same
manner
that
is
being
operated
now.
So
so
staff
feels
very
comfortable
recommending
to
you
to
sign
the
restricted
Covenant.

Two
co-responder
teams
were
created

including
a
ctd
officer
and
a
crisis
response
specialist
provided
by
the
current
memorandum
of
agreement
with
the
Pinellas
County
Sheriff's
Office.
The
cost
of
the
two
crisis
response
specialists
at
the
start
of
the
program
was
143
200.
Nowadays
it
is
147
and
700..

The
department
has
been
quarterly
for
the
work
performed
in
the
previous
quarter.
However,
it
was
previously
awarded
144
000
from
the
Bureau
of
Justice
assistance
to
reimburse
one
year
of
the

This
additional
Award
of
forty
thousand
one
hundred
twenty
two

is
now
being
requested
to
help
reimburse
funding
for
the

Beyond
this
year,
I
can
ask
any
questions.
A
W
Y
Good
afternoon
Ellie
showberg
the
engineering
deputy
director,
our
current
engineer
of
record
contracts
set
to
expire
at
the
end
of
this
month.
The
city
issue
a
request
for
qualifications
in
February
on
February
28th,
to
assist
responses
for
our
next
four-year
engineer
record
contract.
The
selection
committee
consists
of
multiple
departments
within
the
city
and
we
reviewed
55
responses.
The
committee
recommends
retaining
29
of
the
existing
firms
and
adding
18
additional
firms.
B
Hi
so
I
have
a
I.
Have
a
number
of
questions
about
this
so
I
understand
the
reason
to
have
a
list
of
Engineers
of
record
I
assume
that
they're
all
vetted
right,
there's
an
approval
process,
but
once
we
have
this
list,
which
is
going
to
be
now
like
56,
some
or.
Y
B
47
for
multiple
departments,
and
so
we
just
trust
that
they're
going
to
give
us
a
great
price
right
when
we
contract
with
them,
because
what
we've
done
is
when
we
have
Engineers
of
risk
and
yeah
Engineers
of
record
here,
and
they
give
us
a
a
price
for
a
project.
We
don't
have
them
bid
against
each
other.
In
fact,
they
don't
bid
against
anyone.
Yeah.
B
Y
I,
don't
think
it's
no
questions
asked
and
a
lot
of
it
depends
on
the
qualifications
of
the
staff
they're
running
the
project.
10
is
a
good
rule
of
thumb
to
start
with.
That's
typically
what
you
expect
the
design
fees
to
be
on
a
construction
project
and
due
to
the
level
of
complications
on
a
project.
Some
rise
above
some
go
beneath
about.
10
is
a
good
starting
point
that
you
look
at.
B
A
running
total
of
how
often
we've
used
each
firm
like
are
we
playing
favorites?
Do
we
kind
of
just
go
with
who
we
know
you
know?
Is
it
based
on
relationships?
You
know
that
kind
of
a
thing
and
how
do
we
document
offering
a
project?
Do
we
offer
the
project
to
each
engineer?
Who
can
do
that
type
of
work,
or
do
we
choose
one
and
say
we'd
like
you
to
do
this
project
based.
Y
On
the
information
we
have
and
experience
in
the
industry,
we
usually
pick
a
firm,
that's
good
at
the
job
that
we're
trying
to
get
done.
We
start
off
with
one
firm
and
solicit
them,
ask
them
for
a
scope,
and
we
go
over
that
from
the
rfqs
and
experience
and
calling
other
municipalities.
We
pick
firms.
Y
You
know,
for
example,
Atkins
is
doing
the
Fort
Harrison
they've
done.
They
did
magnolian
Jeffords
for
us
seven
eight
nine
years
ago,
and
they
did
a
great
job
on
the
grading
and
the
flow
lines
to
make
sure
that
the
finished
product
was
a
quality
product
and
they
were
reasonable.
They
didn't
have
any
change,
orders
Thomas,
they
didn't
come
back
for
any
additional
monies
and
they
gave
us
a
good
product
for
the
price
that
we
asked
for
so
for
a
roadway
project.
I
feel
pretty
confident
in
using
that
firm.
B
So
no
change
orders
comes
in
on
time
price.
We
asked
for
all
those
kinds
of
things.
Are
those
articulated
like
when
you,
when
you
choose
a
firm,
firm,
XYZ
Do?
You
have
a
a
box
or
some
kind
of
that
that
why
you
chose
that
firm
that
they
have
this.
You
know
on-time
rate
they,
you
know,
don't
ask
for
Budget
increases
and
things
like
that.
Y
Well,
no
and
there's
two
different
ways
to
do
these
contracts.
One
is
a
lump
sum
and
one
is
the
time
and
materials
lump
sum.
I
refer
to
as
kind
of
like
buying
a
car.
I
walk
in
the
car
lot.
I
tell
them.
I
want
a
2022,
1500,
pickup
truck
and
I'm
willing
to
pay
twenty
three
thousand
dollars
and
not
get
the
truck
and
I
walk
out
the
door.
Y
As
long
as
you
keep
everything
within
scope
of
that
project,
the
fee
is
the
same:
they're
going
to
eat
a
little
bit
on
some
aspects
of
it
and
they're
going
to
make
a
little
bit
on
some
aspects
of
it.
When
you
go
timing
materials
it
it's
based
on
the
hours
they
spend
on
the
job,
so
you
know
those
typically,
it's
it's
the
chicken
or
the
egg
which
way
you
want
to
go.
Both
of
them
can
cost
you
extra
money.
Y
But
theoretically,
if
you
do
a
lump
sum
and
you
stay
within
scope
and
don't
add
anything
or
change,
anything
from
the
initial
part,
the
fee
is
the
same
when
you're
done
time
and
materials.
If
things
get
complicated,
they
can't
come
back
and
ask
you
for
more
money,
and
they
have
the
right
to
do
that,
because
they've
spent
more
time,
so
it
kind
of
depends
on
which
way-
and
we
do
both
ways
depends
on
the
project.
Y
B
And
that's
fine,
so
we've
got
a
list
of
contractors
Engineers
of
record,
and
you
know
you
said
you
you
offer
it
to
the
ones
that
are
good
at
the
job,
but
we
must
have
more
than
one
in
each
category.
That's
good
at
the
job.
We
don't
just
have
one.
So
how
do
you
decide
which
one
we're
going
to
offer
the
job
to
a.
Y
B
Z
Terra
kivot
city
engineer
I'd,
like
to
just
add
too,
that
you
know
the
consulting
firm,
especially
the
larger
ones.
Actually,
all
of
them
they
have.
They
can
have
a
high
turnover
in
staff,
so
they
may
do
a
great
job
on
one
type
of
project
and
then,
three
years
later
we
have
that
same
type
of
project
May
reach
out
to
them.
But
if
staff
changes
mistakes
happen,
you
know
there
is
no
perfect
set
of
design
plans
and
so
things
happen.
So
we
didn't
win
when
our
professionals
make
some
mistakes.
Z
You
know
we
have
to
consider
how
they
address
those
mistakes.
You
know
and
if
they
do
it
well,
then,
typically
we're
willing
to
continue
to
work
with
them.
If
they
address
those
mistakes
poorly,
then
we
okay
so
but
it's
definitely
I
want
to
reiterate
what
Elia
said.
It
is
qualification
based,
not
price,
based.
B
Z
B
All
right,
I
think
it
would
help,
though,
to
see
you
know
like
maybe
over
the
last
three
or
five
years,
how
many
contracts
were
awarded
to
the
engineers
of
record
to
see,
if
are
they
bunching
up
with
just
these
people?
Are
these
people
that
remain
on
the
list?
Don't
get
you
know,
offered
projects
or
I,
don't
know.
You
know.
Y
We
also
have
separate
categories,
even
though
they're
all
on
the
list,
like
we
have
some
environmental
firms
that
do
do
good
for
at
brownfields
and
site
remediation
they're,
not
skilled
in
the
street
projects,
and
we
picked
a
couple
of
the
specific
Marine
Aviation
firms
this
year
and
some
building
and
maintenance
people.
You
know
they
may
not
get
us
they're
not
going
to
get
a
street
project,
we're
not
going
to
give
them
one.
B
In
Marine
and
Aviation,
or
doesn't
this
type
of
work
or
whatever,
whatever
well
or
out
of
the
three
firms
that
do
this
type
of
work?
We
believe
you
know
they
have
an
on-time
record.
They've
done
quality
work
with
us
before
and
they've
not
asked
for
price
increases.
A
A
A
B
A
Well
then
I
guess
you
said,
take
me
off
the
record:
I
mean
I,
don't
I,
don't
know,
I
mean
it's
I,
don't
think
because
you're
on
the
record,
it
means
that
you
have
to
have
business
if
they're
doing
the
jobs,
doing
them
on
time
on
budget
and
easy
to
deal
with.
I
think
that's
what
our
experts
are
doing.
I
haven't
said:
I
haven't
heard,
seen
any
complaints
over
the
years
about
doing
terrible
jobs
and
continue
to
hire
them
so
I'm,
not
quite
sure
where
this
is
all
coming
from.
B
Z
Z
A
Accordingly,
Mr
margola
says
something
a
second.
K
So
talking
about
the
procurement
process
for
construction
projects,
because
they
are,
you
know,
big
dollar
amounts,
typically,
seven
figures,
sometimes
even
eight
figure
projects
that
we
get
into.
K
So
we
have
a
there's
a
lot
to
unpack
there,
but
I
would
say
the
core
of
the
state
law
which,
as
Ms
Kevin
said,
is
he's
called
the
CCNA.
It's
the
consultant's
competitive
negotiation
act.
It's
a
state
law
that
regulates
how
state
government
and
local
government
procure
construction
and
Engineering
Services,
which
are
all
big
dollar
contracts.
That
state
law,
in
my
opinion,
is
much
more
favorable
to
contractors
than
it
is
to
the
government
make
of
that
what
you
will,
but
it's
a
process
that
is
pretty
well
suited
to
the
industry.
K
I
would
love
to
do
in
any
normal
circumstance
in
order
to
conserve
taxpayer
dollars
if
we've
got
a
good
company
who's
bidding
way
up
here
sure
we
might
like
their
work,
but
if
they're
astronomically
expensive,
I'd
love
to
say
hey
what
about
this
guy
over
here?
Who
says
he's
going
to
do
it
for
this
price?
Certainly,
if
any
of
us
were
doing
a
home
the
project,
that's
exactly
what
we
would
do
to
renovate
our
bathroom
or
a
kitchen
or
things
like
that,
but
in
state
law.
That's
that
tool
is
not
available
to
us.
K
So
the
question,
then,
is:
what
can
we
do,
because
that's
not
a
tactic
that
we
can
use
in
order
to
save
money,
the
way
it's
set
up
in
state
law?
Generally
speaking,
we
will
have
to
identify
a
firm
that
we
want
to
negotiate
with
first,
and
that
is
a
lot
of
where
that
expertise
comes
in
from
Public
Works
Public
Utilities,
the
Departments,
because
the
truth
is
that
most
of
us,
myself,
included,
are
probably
not
going
to
know
which
of
these
57
firms
is
the
best
firm
for
this
sidewalk
project
or
this
utility
project.
K
We
just
don't
have
that
expertise
other
than
through
staff,
so
that's
the
first
part
of
it
is
figuring
out
which
firm
can
actually
do
the
work,
but
in
many
cases
there
will
be
more
than
one
firm,
that's
capable
of
doing
the
work
works.
The
question,
then,
is
if
let's
say
there
are
three
firms
that
Elliot
knows
are
capable
of
doing
this
work
on
the
list.
There
is
a
legitimate
question
as
to
how
we
choose
one
firm
over
another
to
be
that
firm.
K
State
law
does
say
that
if
the
contract
terms
are
not
acceptable
to
the
city,
then
the
city
is
entitled
to
and
in
fact
is
required
to
terminate
negotiations
with
the
number
one
company
and
then
go
to
number
two
and
number
three
on
that
list.
So
there
is
a
mechanism,
let's
say,
for
example,
there's
a
company
who
bids
an
astronomical
price,
but
they
do
good
work,
but
the
pricing
is
just
absolutely
ridiculous.
K
Either
a
staff
could
terminate
negotiations
with
that
company
or
the
council
always
has
veto
power,
and
if
the
council
says
this
is
just
not
a
matter
of
money
that
you're
comfortable
spending,
no
matter
how
good
they
are
or
that's
just
not
a
good
use
of
resources
staff.
A
council
could
also
say
not
approving
this
terminate
negotiations
with
this
company
and
go
on
to
number
two,
and
so
those
are
the
mechanisms
that
are
in
place.
It's
not
as
strong
a
mechanism
that
as
I,
would
love
to
see.
K
Y
W
I
Well,
I
was
just
going
to
add.
You
know
we're
not
talking
about
actually
contractors
here,
we're
talking
about
engineer
of
record
architect
kind
of
things,
I
mean
that's
a
design
component
and
it's
not
always
I
mean
it's
hard,
but
these
guys
design
is
included
in
that
so
I
mean
you
can't
bid
one
against
another
because
they
come
in
with
a
particular
design
of
what
you're
going
to
go
with.
You
look
at
what
they've
done
before
and
you
look
at
their
I
guess
two
also.
The
reason
why
you
want
to
have
several.
I
Is
you
don't
know
what
the
workload
is?
I
mean
if
they
say
yeah
we'd
love
to
get
do
this
child,
but
we
kind
of
get
next
December.
We
can
start.
You
know,
that's
why
you
have
a
bunch
of
them,
so
I
think
that's
a
little
bit
different
than
a
contractor
of
record.
Where
you
you
know,
once
you've
got
the
design
that
you
can
go
out
and
you
can
say:
okay,
what
are
you
bidding
toward
this
particular
design?
I
So
I
don't
have
a
problem
getting
you
know,
pre-qualified
people
on
there
for
the
design
portion
of
it.
T
Elliot
leaves
this
is
probably
his
last
meeting.
He
is
going
to
be
retiring
from
the
city.
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
we're
very
grateful
for
his
career
he's
done
nothing
but
showing
the
highest
level
of
integrity
and
scrutiny,
as
he's
managed
our
projects
and
made
sure
that
that
he
has
been
a
good
fiduciary
and
we're
grateful
for
a
service.
We
wish
him
the
best
of
luck.
His
team
is
top-notch
and
we're
going
to
miss
him.
I.
W
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council
members,
Robert
kasmer,
Public,
Works
engineering
and
before
you
today
for
consent
review
is
a
drainage,
easement
request,
conveyance
request
from
Dolphin
Harbor
development,
125
Island
Way.
In
brief,
this
will
be
the
third
request
on
this
development
during
its
Improvement
status.
W
W
When
the
developer
went
to
connect
this
easement,
there
were
too
many
Utilities
in
the
way
he
could
not
do
that
and
cross
directly
onto
the
road.
He
then
had
to
parallel
self
on
the
property
to
the
closest
point
where
he
could
connect
and
that's
what
this
represents
again.
This
edition
of
Eastman
is
necessary
to
avoid
all
existing
City
Utilities
all
said
utilities
will
be
placed
within
this
easement
and
City
staff
has
reviewed
and
approved
this
request.
W
A
AB
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
your
time
has
been
mentioned
a
number
of
times.
City
Clearwater
is
growing
lots
of
new
developments,
lots
of
proposed
developments
that
are
getting
built
and
turning
into
existing
development,
and
so
the
agenda
item
today
is
basically
to
extend
the
contract
for
mean
hunt
to
incorporate
those
proposed
developments
that
are
now
existing,
as
well
as
the
new
developments
and
new
hotels
that
are
being
proposed,
that
they
would
be
built
into
our
traffic
model.
So
we
can
forecast
both
existing
and
future
conditions,
traffic
conditions.
B
So
this
seems
like
a
whole
lot
of
throughout
the
city
kind
of
a
catch-all
for
a
hundred
and
forty
six
thousand
dollars,
which
isn't
that
much
so
it
seems
I
had
a
question
about.
Can
we
get
all
of
this
analysis
throughout
the
city
for
146
000
and
why
wasn't
this
type
of
work
included
in
the
original
or
initial
contract?
So.
AB
Now,
so
we
are
working
with
other
stakeholders
and
other
entities
with
the
work
that
they've
been
doing
and
that
they're
continuing
to
do,
and
so,
when
I
put
this
supplemental
agreement,
I
asked
me
and
Hunt
to
provide
justification
that
they
would
be
able
to
get
it
done
and
they
were
able
to
provide
that
so
I
I
have
been
provided
the
assurance
that
they
will
be
able
to.
But
as
the
city
continues
to
grow,
there's
stuff
that
we
won't
be
able
to
forecast.
B
So,
under
the
list
of
references
on
you
know
the
attachment,
you
don't
have
a
reference
to
the
four
Pinellas
2050
long
range
Transportation
plan,
and
that's
it's
now
under
development,
and
it
should
be
adopted.
A
scheduled
to
be
adopted
by
October
of
next
year
should
be
a
substantially
completed
by
May
or
June
of
next
year,
and
they
just
finalized
that
county-wide
population
and
employment
projections
to
2050,
including
updated
numbers
approved
by
Clearwater
planning
staff.
So
are
you
going
to
be
Consulting
that
for
Pennell's
2050
long
range.
AB
B
There's
language
in
there
that
says
the
multimodal
transit
center
discusses
the
mitigation
measures
about
increased
traffic
with
that
multimodal
Center
that's
coming
Myrtle,
so
are
the
city
and
the
PSTA
in
alignment
with
you
know,
making
I
mean
it's
kind
of
a
silly
question,
but
in
working
together
to
make
that
as
smooth
as
possible,
like
we're,
really
positive
and
excited
about
that,
multimodal
Center
that
we've
asked
for
grant
funding
for
years
and
years
and
finally
got
it.
So
it's
a
positive.
AB
AB
Goal
yeah,
that
is
part
of
it,
if
I
believe
on
the
back
half
of
the
attachment.
That's
one
of
the
things
that
they
identify
is
the
part
of
understanding
how
the
traffic
is
flowing
and
how
people
are
getting
from
place
to
place.
They
help
us
prioritize
which
projects
are
more
necessary,
which
ones
can
kind
of
be
put
off.
M
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council
and
Scott
I
was
fire
chief
Clearwater
fire
rescue.
The
item
before
you
sequest
for
the
purchase
of
lifeguard
towers
for
Clearwater
farm
and
rescue
Beach
lifeguard
Personnel
in
the
amount
of
143
625,
pursuant
to
an
invitation
to
bid
35-23
with
Bausch
Enterprises
Incorporated.
M
Since
the
transformation
of
beachwalk,
the
current
Towers
have
been
made
from
post
and
beam
which,
over
the
years,
have
had
constant
exposure
to
the
wind
in
Solitaire
as
well
as
needed
movement
during
storms.
The
towers
are
deteriorating
last
year,
for
example,
during
some
of
those
storms,
we
have
to
move
out
those
Towers
back.
So
as
the
water
comes
up,
they're
not
they're
not
destroyed
even
more
that
movement
itself
flexes
the
tower
to
a
point
where
the
potion
beam
starts
to
deteriorate.
M
Sarah
had
been
replaced,
but
the
costs
have
increased
to
continually
look
at
efficiencies.
It
was
noted
that
many
locations
providing
Beach
lap
guards
throughout
the
coast
of
Florida
have
moved
to
an
aluminum
frame
tower
for
durability
and
low
cost,
including
the
beach
where
the
original
design
of
the
current
towers
that
we
have
right
now
came
from
earlier
this
year
of
your
requested
bids
as
part
of
the
procurement
process
and
Bausch
Enterprises
with
the
sole
respondent.
M
Similar,
actually,
we
looked
at
in
the
procurement
process,
the
Martin
County
contract
and
the
price
given
to
us
on
this.
One
is
actually
better
than
Mark
Martin
County
one.
So.
M
We
looked
across
the
state
on
any
of
those,
that's
why
we
had
to
go
out
for
a
bid,
but,
of
course,
on
the
back
side,
I'm
sure
they'll
pick
you
back
up
off
ours
so
and.
B
M
AA
Expression
in
there
my
name
is
Tom
Jensen,
the
plant
administrator
for
the
supplemental
trust
fund.
They
had
him
before
use
a
reappointment
of
Mr
Brooks,
Tucker
City
resident
to
our
Board
of
State
Statute
requires
that
we
have
to
have
two
residents
service
trustees
and
Mr
snucker.
It's
been
one
of
those
since
the
late
80s.
That
believed
for
us
he's
expressed
another
interest
in
continuing.
This
is
his
service
on
the
board.
So.
AC
Education,
Planning
and
Development
this
voluntary
annexation.
There's
a
quest
request
was
passed
on
first
reading
last
year
on
July
21st
2022
at
interval
to
0.137
acre
property
consisting
of
one
parcel
of
land
decorating.
This
annexation
has
been
delayed
because
the
applicant
was
constructing
a
single
family
dwelling
on
this
parcel
under
the
County's
jurisdiction,
construction
has
been
completed
and
a
certificate
of
occupancy
has
been
issued.
AC
Thank
you
God
brother
Tim,
so
this
request
is
similar
to
the
previous
one
again.
This
was
passed
on
first
reading
and
July
21st
of
2022
and
also
involves
a
0.137
acre
property
consisting
of
one
parcel
of
land.
Our
construction
was
occurring
in
Pinellas
County
for
a
single
family
dwelling.
Any
certificate
of
occupancy
has
now
been
issued
due
to
the
time
that
has
passed.
New
organ
suppers
have
been
assigned,
and
we
have
a
third
and
final
reading
scheduled
for
August
3rd.
AC
Is
this
voluntary
annexation
petition
involves
a
0.3
acre,
Park
property
consisting
of
one
parcel
of
land
occupied
by
a
warehouse
and
an
office?
Okay
on
the
west
side
of
North
Hercules
Avenue,
approximately
200
feet
south
of
Calumet
Street,
the
applicant
is
requesting
annexation
in
order
to
receive
sanitary,
sewer
and
solid
waste
from
the
city.
Napkin
has
paid
the
city's
sewer
impact
fee
and
assessment
fees
in
full
and
deserve
additional
costs
to
extend
city
sewer
service
to
the
property.
AC
E
AD
Mayor
council
members,
Dan
mayor
director
of
I.T,
this
item
is
for
what
we
call
back
office.
Hardware
includes
servers,
it's
a
unified
platform,
what
we
call
Blade
server
and
also
has
switching
and
memory
equipment.
I
would
also
point
out
that
the
the
ask
is
also
that
you
approve
the
lease
purchasing
Authority
for
this
item,
since
it's.
AD
P
Mayor
council,
Eric,
Gandy,
Marine
Aviation,
director
with
me
today
is
Trish
Rodriguez
from
Coldwater
Ferry
Services
Inc.
P
So
a
couple
months
ago,
with
the
impending
completion
of
The
Coachman
Park
project
Affair
approached
us
to
have
a
conversation
about
extending
their
agreement
and
making
some
amendments
to
the
agreement
to
facilitate
transits
back
and
forth
from
Clearwater
Beach
to
the
Harbor
Marina.
P
So
our
relationship
started
with
Governor
Ferry
they've
been
our
Sole
Provider
since
2016
for
this
service,
the
last
couple
of
years
with
the
construction
of
the
park
being
underway,
as
well
as
the
ending
of
the
original
subsidies
for
the
service.
They
were
providing
limited
service
based
on
reservations
and
reduce
the
number
of
employees
and
we're
operating
in
those
conditions.
Well,
we
knew
the
park
was
coming
online
and
the
city's
had
a
long-standing
relationship
with
them
and
a
consistent
desire
to
have
an
alternative
form
of
transportation
to
and
from
the
beach.
P
And
that
being
said,
I've
used
the
Disney
analogy
time
and
time
again,
but
certainly
there
is
a
situation
whereby
you're
staying
at
hotels
in
Disney,
you
use
fairies,
trains,
monorails
and
things
like
that
to
get
back
and
forth
what
we've
noticed
with
our
tourists
at
the
beach
is:
there's
a
consistent
desire
to
do
something
else.
What
is
what
else
can
we
do
after
a
period
of
time?
You
know
they've
they've,
looked
for
alternative
things
to
entertain
themselves
and
then
families
and
with
the
opening
of
the
park.
P
The
initial
ask
was
for
an
extension
of
10
years
with
the
subsidy
occurring
throughout
the
term
of
of
the
10-year
term,
and
we
had
some
additional
discussions
on
this
and
really
settled
on
the
fact
that
if
we
were
going
to
activate
downtown
use
this
park
as
a
catalyst
and
have
that
increased
demand,
the
the
profitability
and
the
ability
to
be
self-sufficient
would
flesh
itself
out
in
a
much
shorter
time
frame.
For
that
reason,
we
settled
on
a
subsidy
of
500
000
over
the
first
five
years.
P
The
first
couple
years
or
150
000
a
year
and
then
the
remaining
two
hundred
thousand
is
divided
over
the
last
three
years.
So
we
we
amended
the
routes
and
specifically
we're
looking
at
23
transits
to
and
from
the
beach
and
the
harbor.
So
that's
23
transits
a
day,
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
for
the
next
10
years.
P
So
when
I
looked
at
that,
I
felt
that
it
was
important
to
kind
of
let
you
know
how
we
were
evaluating
this
and
I
crunch
the
numbers,
and
if
you
look
at
the
10-year
term,
we're
looking
at
subsidizing
them
13.93
13.93
per
Transit
over
the
10-year
term.
P
So
that's
really
the
the
simplest
explanation
of
how
we
viewed
the
subsidy
and
what
we
are
buying
for
that
subsidy.
It's
a
guaranteed
routes
guaranteed
times
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
when
we
anticipate
the
park
being
the
most
active.
P
A
AE
Good
afternoon
Council
and
mayor
Rich
Corner,
director
of
Public
Utilities,
the
animal
before
you
was
a
purchase
order
with
WW
Granger
for
the
purchase
of
various
maintenance
repair
operating
supplies
used
in
water
and
wastewater
systems.
It's
a
piggyback
off
of
Florida
Department
of
Management
Services
contract.
This
is
a
one-year
contract
for
350
000
through
June
30
2024
I'm,
asking
for
your
approval
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Questions.
AF
Good
afternoon,
excuse
me
my
name
is
Jeremy
Brown
engineering
manager
for
Public
Utilities.
This
project
is
a
master
plan
for
Public,
Utilities,
supervisory
control
and
automated
data
acquisition
systems.
That's
also
known
as
the
scada
systems,
the
various
Utility
Systems
include
portable
water,
Wastewater
and
reclaimed
water
facilities
such
as
treatment
plants,
booster
pump
stations,
Wastewater
pump
stations,
well
fields
and
Pinellas
County
interconnects.
Due
to
our
resources
and
the
complexity
of
the
project,
the
city
decided
to
ask
a
consultant
to
help
manage
the
project
on
behalf
of
the
city.
AF
AF
Good
afternoon
Jeremy
Brown
engineering
manager,
the
simplified
version
is
this
project,
consists
of
demolishing
the
current
lift
station
and
constructing
a
new
larger
lift
station,
and
it's
relatively
close
to
it
located
at
the
Western
end
of
Pier,
Street
I'm,
happy
to
respond
to
any
questions
or
I
could
go
into
a
little
further
detail
about
the
project.
If
you'd
like
any.
AF
Yeah
yeah
exactly
right
by
the
retaining
volcano,
yeah
yeah,
okay,
putting
a
bigger
one
in
there,
yeah
yeah
or
where
did
our?
We
saw
our
collection
master
plan.
You
may
recall
us
talking
about
over
the
last
couple
years
and
that
recommended
to
be
upsized
that
lift
station,
and
so
that's
what
we're
doing.
B
AF
B
AF
B
E
E
Appoint
Dina
Stanley
to
the
Marine
Advisory
board,
with
a
term
to
expire,
July
31st,
2027.,
Ms
Stanley
had
was
serving
an
unexpired
term
and
she
is
willing
to
be
reappointed
for
a
full
term.
E
Appoint
an
individual
to
the
parks,
recreation
board
with
a
term
to
expire,
July,
2027
Miss
huddle
had
served
two
complete
terms.
Unfortunately,
she
was
not
willing
to
reappoint,
but
luckily
we
had
other
individuals
who
were
interested.
So
in
your
applicants
you
have
applications
for
Angelica,
Lonesome
and
Patricia
Donaldson
for
your
consideration.
G
I
have
not
been
able
to
open
Patricia
Dalton's
submission.
B
Okay,
it
was
it
was
blank,
but
I
did
note
that
Angelica
Lonesome
has
a
child
she's
also
spoken
before
the
council,
as
part
of
her
I.
Think
a
Capstone
project
about
parks
near
her
part
of
the
community,
which
is
out
east
of
19
a
little
bit
and
she's
studying
public
policy
and
and
did
kind
of
a
project
on
parks
in
our
community,
which
I
thought
was
lend
itself
to
to
serving
on
this
board.
Pretty
well.
E
This
Council
Watson's
I'm
able
to
see
the
application,
but
if,
since
individuals
were
not
able
to
see
Ms
Dalton's
application,
we
wanted
to
continue
that
discussion
until
Thursday.

Attorney.
Thank
you.
Mayor
14.1
is
our
outside
Council
to
represent
us
in
the
bread
and
Roses
Vehicle
Safety
Zone,
lawsuit,
I,
know
I've,
discuss
that
one-on-one
with
council
members
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Any
questions
not
too
many
in
public.
Hopefully.
K
Thank
you
next
item.
14.2
is
a
recognition
of
the
communication
workers
of
America
CWA
as
the
bargaining
agent
for
a
lot
of
positions.
Cwa
has
been
the
union
here
for
a
long
time
in
Clearwater.
However,
the
last
time
that
we
went
through
a
formal
recognition
process
was
1975.
a.
K
Have
changed
since
then
different
titles,
some
things
added
some
things
deleted,
and
this
was
just
a
process
that
we
did
together
with
CWA
to
make
sure
that
the
correct
positions
are
in
the
unit
and
correct
positions
are:
are
deleted
from
the
unit
pretty
much.
K
14.3
is
to
increase
the
mayor
and
Council
member's
salaries.
I
know
this
is
something
that's
been
discussed
at
land
thumb
both
here,
as
well
as
the
charter
review
pursue
into
our
city
Charter.
This
could
take
place
by
ordinance
if
passed
by
Council.
It
will
be
effective
after
the
next
election
questions.
K
A
Questions:
okay,
thank
you.
City
manager,
report.
Q
Good
afternoon
so
I
wanted
to
provide
an
update
is
how
the
recycling
negotiations
are
going
and,
as
you
recall,
we
started
negotiations
in
terms
of
doing
RFQ
and
back
in
March,
the
beginning
of
March
and
so
I'm
happy
to
report
that
as
of
this
week,
we
do
have
a
verbal
tentative
agreement
with
a
with
one
of
the
firms
that
did
respond
to
that,
and
so
now
we're
in
the
process
of
developing
a
contract
with
them.
It'll
go
through.
You
know
both
sets
of
attorneys,
and
then
we
will
bring
that
forward.
Q
So
we're
anticipating
that
that
will
come
at
the
August,
14th
and
17th
meeting.
So
as
long
as
it's
able
to
develop
the
contract
and
not
get
through
both
teams
of
legals
that
that's
when
we
will
bring
that
forward,
we
do
you
know,
even
though
we're
in
negotiations
We
are
continuing
to
recycle
and
are
doing
so
I
think
we're
up
to
almost
4
000
tons
of
recycling
for
the
year.
Q
So
far,
so
we
are
absolutely
Recycling
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
remind
Council,
like
that
when
we
started
discussing
the
negotiations
and
going
into
an
agreement
for
recycling
the
direction
at
that
time
was
for
us
to
bring
back
the
conversation
about
refunds
and
or
credits
with
that
contract.
So
we
are
staying
that
course.
Q
Certainly
the
the
credit
conversation
has
not
been
forgotten.
It's
just
been
that
that
was
what
the
direction
was,
and
so
we
will
anticipate
that
we
are
doing
both
whenever
we
are
ready
to
bring
forward
that
contract
which
we're
anticipating
to
be
at
that
August
meeting.
Q
We
did
as
we're
continuing
to
learn
about
Recycling
and
how
different
vendors
process
things
differently.
We
did
take
down
our
contamination
rate
from
the
website
and
that's
just
because
we
need
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
how
that
vendor
processes
and
what
they
qualify
as
contamination
rate
in
order
for
us
to
be
comfortable
in
terms
of
you
know
putting
that
out
there
that
those
are
our
numbers.
So
as
we
continue
to
work
through
with
the
vendors
and
get
an
agreement,
we'll
get
that
understanding
and
put
those
rates
back
up
there.
Q
Okay,
the
only
other
thing
I
want
to
say
and
I
know
Council
wants
to
do
this
as
well,
is
just
provide
recognition
to
the
teams
that
played
a
part
in
opening
up
Coachman
and
what
a
success
that
was
and
recognizing
it
was
hot.
It
was
really
hot
and
just
had
so
many
compliments
in
terms
of
the
staff
and
how
they
they
handled
that
and
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
them
that
participated
pretty
much
every
department,
so
just
wanted
to
express
appreciation
as
I
wish.
I
know
you
all
do
too.
Q
D
I
went
there
three
times
a
day
and
took
showers
in
between
and
all
the
staff
were
there
all
day
long
with
a
smile
on
their
face
and
I
I
think
they
went
above
and
beyond.
It
was
almost
superhuman
how
they
worked.
It
was
incredible
to
watch
and
I
want
to
give
props
to
whoever
did
the
logo
of
for
the
free
t-shirts
incredible
branding,
easily
recognizable,
beautiful
artwork,
so
kudos
to
whoever
that
artist
is
and
whoever
chose
that
artist.
A
I,
unfortunately,
wasn't
here
for
a
lot
of
it.
I
was
here
for
the
opening
I
think
I
did
about
150
interviews
that
weekend
I'm
glad
we
talked
about
connecting
the
Waterfront
with
the
ferry
and
did
it
for
10
years.
I
think
I
said
that
about
500
times
that
week
heard
nothing
but
great
things.
We
got
a
great
Lottery.
Yesterday,
I
did
from
a
gentleman
in
Tampa
that
brought
his
family
over
the
Tampa
restaurant.
A
I
sent
it
out
I
appreciate
that
everyone
sends
that
out
and
congratulates
everyone,
everyone
that
wasn't
about
stuff,
okay,
City
attorney
verbal
reports,
nothing
right
now,
so
I
have
something
for
you.
We
talked
about
this
and
we
got
a
letter
email
this
morning,
which
was
very
timely
about
civility.
A
Citizens
can
often
discuss
items,
especially
as
items
items
not
on
the
agenda.
I've
been
talking
to
the
City
attorney
about
that
and
the
city
manager
a
little
bit
primarily
the
attorney.
He
brought
it
to
my
attention
a
couple
weeks
ago
when
I
was
here
because
she's
not
telling
me
that,
but
basically
will
you
take
it
from
here
and
discuss
what
we've
discussed
and
how
you
think
this
should
go.
If
we
decide
to
decide
sure
I.
K
Think
Clearwater
deals
with
the
challenges
of
a
lot
of
cities
deal
with
when
it
comes
to
running
our
public
meetings,
which
is
the
fact
that
the
primary
purpose
of
the
meeting
is
to
hold
the
meeting
the
primary
purpose
of
the
meeting.
It's
not
a
town
hall
per
se.
The
purpose
is
for
the
council
to
get
through
the
agenda
to
discuss
items
that
are
on
the
agenda
and
to
hear
from
the
public
on
items
that
are
related
to
the
agenda.
K
There
is
no
inherent
constitutional
right
or
statutory
right
to
Florida
for
citizens
to
be
commenting
on
things,
not
on
the
agenda
and
it's
okay
to
allow
that
I
mean
it's
good
to
encourage
robust
discussion,
but
it's
not
a
constitutional
issue.
The
reason
it's
not
a
constitutional
issue
is
because
the
whole
purpose
the
meeting
is
to
have
the
meeting
it's
not
to
discuss
things
that
aren't
on
the
agenda.
It's
so
the
council
can
actually
hear
from
people
for
items
that
are
on
the
agenda
and
the
more
time
we
spend
on
things
that
aren't
on
the
agenda.
K
It
takes
time
away
from
Council,
actually
talking
about
the
agenda
and
hearing
from
citizens
who
are
talking
about
the
agenda.
So
the
whole
point
is
to
focus
on
the
agenda
to
the
extent
that
citizens
to
be
heard
are
allowed
for
things
not
on
the
agenda,
which
again
is
perfectly
commendable,
because
it
does
encourage
robust
discussion.
It
does
provide
an
alternative
avenue
for
people
to
be
heard
either,
who
may
not
email
or
may
not
want.
K
It
may
not
feel
like
they're
heard
by
email,
Etc,
don't
want
to
pick
up
the
phone
or
just
want
to
address
the
council,
as
a
body
I.
Think
it's
commendable
to
allow
that.
However,
it
is
reasonable
for
Clear
Water
to
consider
some
decorum
rules
associated
with
that,
particularly
again
for
items
not
on
the
agenda
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
I
would
certainly
feel
comfortable
from
a
constitutional
standpoint
if
the
council
wanted
to
adopt
a
decorum
rule.
K
For
example,
I
have
seen
local
government
entities
in
Florida
adopt
a
rule
for
again
citizens
to
be
hurt
not
on
the
agenda
to
only
address
their
comments
to
the
chair,
which
in
this
case
would
be
the
mayor
to
refrain
from
personal
attacks,
and
things
of
the
like
again
is
not
on
the
agenda
for
items
on
the
agenda.
I
would
not
be
as
comfortable
at
that,
but
since
the
purpose
of
the
meeting
is
to
discuss
the
agenda,
it's
in
a
different
category,
this
issue
has
been
litigated
rather
extensively
in
various
local
governments
in
Florida.
K
So
if
the
council
would
like
to
implement
a
decorum
rule,
I
do
think
we
have
to
assume
that
someone
will
probably
put
us
a
litigation
with
this,
but
I
am
comfortable
with
it.
I
don't
have
a
problem
defending
it.
I
think
that
it
has
been
successfully
defended
in
other
communities.
For
example
the
Brevard
County
School
Board
had
to
litigate
this
issue.
Other
school
districts
have
had
to
litigated,
so
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
it.
K
If
that's
the
direction,
the
council
would
like
to
go
so
that
we
can
spend
less
time
on
some
of
the
distractions
and
more
time
actually
hearing
from
citizens
on
the
agenda
and
actually
having
more
robust
discussion
among
council
members
for
the
agenda.
But
that's
it.
That's
a
discussion
for
Council
to
consider
does
not
have
to
be
a
decision
today
or
this
minute,
but
just
something
for
the
Cal
Council
to
consider
and
if
I
get
that
direction,
then
I
will
draft
a
resolution
to
amend
the
council
rules
in
Africa.
G
I
have
been
very
fond
of
the
Open
Access
to
come
and
talk
about
anything
if
we're
worried
about
similar
language.
Some
of
the
personal
attacks
I
can
understand
now.
I've
had
my
fair
share
of
them
over
the
years
and
they
were
right
off
me,
but
I
can
I
can
see
where
you
know.
We've
got
one
or
two
people
who
are
targeting
folks
on
the
on
the
console.
So.
I
But
but
I
I
really
feel
that
I
I've
seen
you
know
some
of
the
other
people
that
have
been
here
that
want
to
get
up
and
say
legitimate
things
and
don't
do
it
after
some
of
the
yeah
people
get
up
that
attack,
you
know
and
and
use
anyway,
I
say
bad
language.
You
know
they're,
they
get
a
little
shy
about
coming
up
and
like
okay,
I'm,
not
gonna,
follow
that
guy,
so
I,
don't
know
how
you
would
do
that
necessarily
I.
I
Think
we,
if
you
could
bring
something
back,
we
can
maybe
discuss
it
as
to
what
how
far
we
want
to
go
on
it.
I
I
do
think
it's
a
good
time
for
people
that
have
any
issue
to
come
up
and
talk
to
us
about
it
as
long
as
it
it's
not
an
attack,
or
you
know
something
that
is
legitimate,
so
I'd
like
to
see
maybe
see
what
you
have
in
mind
and
then
discuss
it
at
that
point.
D
Personal
and
it
is
hard
to
be
on
the
receiving
end
and
I
think
we
are
sending
a
message
that
Anything
Goes,
if
we're
going
to
have
you
know
if
you
want
robust
conversations,
we
want
to
hear
from
our
citizens
I
think
we
have
to
give
them
a
safe
environment
as
well,
and
if
we
encourage
the
environment
where
it's
combative
and
uncomfortable
I
think
we're
infringing
on
other
people
who
would
like
to
communicate
so
I,
just
I'm,
not
quite
clear
what
that
looks
like
at
this
point.
I
would
like
to
think
about
it.
A
How
do
you
put
up
with
that
we're
supposed
to
be
there
to
talk
about
business
or
talk
about
problems,
but
not
personal
attacks
not
to
be
called
Ames
juvenile
names
just
stupid
stuff
it?
You
know
people
are
noticing
and
it's
that
they
don't
like
it.
So
I
think
we
need
to
do
something
and
something
within
reason:
I'm
not
trying
to
stop
public
comments.
Probably
welcome
and
encouraged
legitimate
item
and
Robert
is
the
publicon.
K
Sounds
like
I'm
hearing,
certainly
from
a
third
majority
Council
that
there's
a
at
least
enough
interest
to
bring
forward
an
item
and
then
council
could
always
adjust
the
language.
But
if
it's
council's
pleasure,
I
can
draft
a
resolution
just
to
bring
it
to
your
attention
and
the
council
can
discuss
and
refine
it
as.
A
I
I
know
we
we
kind
of
brought
it
up
last
meeting
and
you
know
bill
was
here
an
awful
long
time
and
I
thought
he,
for
the
most
part
did
an
exceptional
job
as
city
manager
and
I
I.
Don't
have
an
issue
at
all
about
naming
the
new
city
hall,
William
horn
in
honor
of
him
I
think
we
even
gosh
I'm
thinking
three
or
so
years
ago,
Jim
Smith
I
think
we
had
one
of
the
Ruth
Ecker
Things
We
Said
that
we'd
like
him
to
make
a
bust
of
of
Bill.
I
You
know
and-
and
that
would
be
a
perfect
thing
to
put
in
the
city
hall.
You
know
as
you
walk
in.
So
that's
just
my
my
opinion.
K
The
way
I
was
procedurally
I
would
just
picture
this
coming
the
next
time
that
the
yeah
the
next
time
the
city
hall
project
actually
comes
before
you
to
have
proven
as
part
of
that,
okay
that'll
be
my
recommendation
procedure.
D
So
coaching
park
has
proven,
thank
goodness
to
be
the
Catalyst
that
we
much
needed,
but
I
really
want
to
forge
ahead.
So
the
thought.
Well,
some
people
came
up
to
me
during
that
week
of
opening
and
brought
it
up
and
I
kind
of
refer
to
the
Sip
and
stroll
events
that
we
had
downtown,
which
were
very
successful
and
how
100
block.
D
However,
I
really
would
like
to
have
input
from
the
police
department,
Parks
and
Rec,
and
any
other
staff
in
how
that's
going
to
look
like
whether
it's
just
restricting
it
to
two
days
a
week,
Friday
and
Saturday
or
just
on
concerts
only
I
do
want
to
limit
any
negative
consequences
to
it.
However,
I
think
we
can
successfully
do
it
with
the
right
I
guess
the
right
plan
I
mean
some
of
the
things
that
I've
been
kind
of
throwing
around.
D
Is
that
designated
container
so
that
you
know
it's
not
just
somebody
bringing
up
a
cooler
of
of
beers
and
just
going
up
and
down
the
streets
randomly
but
I
would
like
the
input
of
the
police
department
and
any
other
staff
can
see
what
you
guys
would
think
about
how
to
implement
a
Wet
Zone.
X
All
right,
well,
Billy,
Ford
Melissa,
is
about
internal
chief
police,
Mike
Wallach.
X
Started
working
on
this,
we
kind
of
came
up
with
the
idea
of
propel,
giving
you
guys
three
different
options,
and
then
we
can
kind
of
go
from
there.
This
is
kind
of
new
toss.
Both
we've
been
doing
some
research
for
some
time,
but
to
go
into
it
to
hit
the
room.
The
option
one
would
be
just
keep
the
existing
model
that
we
have
right
now,
which
I
guess
it's
not
gonna
pop
up
there,
which
would
include
Dr,
12
events
per
that.
X
The
first
issue
is
that
downtown
businesses
could
not
use
the
specialty
cup
that
was
passed
around
designate
as
in
the
upcoming
option.
The
second
issue
is
that,
basically,
it's
a
full
range
for
consumption,
meaning
that
anybody
could
go
to
the
local
7-Eleven
grab
a
six
pack
and
move
into
four
or
five
other
block
and
consume
it
within
the
400
500
block
of
person
that
hangs
out
down
there.
The
third
issue
is
that
it's
not
a
benefit
to
downtown
businesses
and
instead
of
just
reading
the
whole
thing,
basically
ABT.
X
Essentially
issues
permits
to
businesses
allowing
them
on-premise
consumption,
so
they
could
be.
They
could
be
subject
to
fines
if
they
were
allowed
to
take
it
off
the
premise:
those
are
the
basics
for
number
two
option:
number
three
optional
three
would
be
similar
to
the
Tampa
Riverwalk
Specialty
Center,
the
Tampa
St
Petersburg
Edge
district
and
the
St
Petersburg
Municipal
Pier.
X
As
are
covered
in
our
Florida
statute,
561.20
section
2B,
it
allow
for
specialty
Zone
to
be
designated
for
fallen
or
certain
requirements.
That's
a
couple
I'm
passing
around
to
you
guys
right
now.
That's
the
actual
room
that
we've
got
from
Tampa
River
Grove,
some
of
the
Specialty
Center
requirements.
X
It
has
to
have
at
least
fifty
thousand
square
feet
of
leasable
area
into
restaurants,
entertainment
facilities
and
specialty
shops
and
located
adjacent
to
a
navigable
water
body
by
a
vendor
in
a
specialty
center
may
be
consumed
within
a
specialty
center,
but
may
not
be
removed
from
such
premises.
This
is
where
specialty
cups
will
come
into
play.
So
during
a
recent
conversation,
Melissa
and
I
talked
to
academic
senior
Economic
Development
coordinator
Phil
Kirkpatrick.
X
Some
of
the
pros
and
cons
to
option
number
three
pros:
downtown
businesses
could
benefit
because
they're
able
they're
the
ones
that
are
able
to
solve
alcoholic
beverages
using
the
designated
cup
that
we
showed
you.
If
their
businesses
are
open,
s
aren't
allowed
to
are
not
authorized
to
consume
alcohol
beverage
in
the
designated
area.
The
hours
can
be
regulated
to
be
consistent
with
park
hours
or
different.
X
X
X
X
X
X
St
Petersburg,
pure
District
I
think.
Obviously
you
can
tell
that
it's
served
by
water
who
knows
that
alcohol
is
permitted
if
it's
in
the
pure
approved
cut,
which
will
be
provided
by
the
restaurants
and
cafes
within
the
peer
District.
It's
not
permissible.
It
is
not
permissible
for
alcohol
to
be
brought
into
the
peer
for
personal
consumption.
Again,
no
more
than
a
16
ounce
cup.
It's
the
pier,
is
opened
30
minutes
before
sunrise
and
the
property
closes
at
11
PM.
X
The
restaurant
Pier
Tiki
remains
open
until
midnight
Sunday
through
Thursday
and
2
A.M
on
Fridays
and
Saturdays
that
in
order
to
regulated
with
a
cup
and
that's
the
conclusion
of
what
I
have
to
explain,
it's
it's
a
different
process
for
each
one.
You
know
you
have
the
option,
one
where
you
can
continue
to
do.
It
will
be
current.
Do
option
two
is
to
take
away
the
405
block
from
the
awareness
which
anybody
can
bring
alcohol
in
or
the
third
one
is
creating
a
area
such
as
Petersburg
in
Tampa.
X
I
did
talk
to
the
Tampa
Chief
prior
to
coming
here,
and
he
said
these
were
heavily
regulated.
There
is,
you
know,
a
police
presence
there
I
know
some
people
have
been.
There
hasn't
been
that
many
problems,
but
anything
when
you
bring
alcohol
to
a
certain
area.
It
does
create
some
potential
activity
for
police
response.
I
So
I'm
a
little
familiar
with
having
events
on
Cleveland
Street
and
how
many
police
you
have
to
have
in
an
area
you
know
to,
especially
when
you
have
alcohol,
but
this
this
is
a
pretty
good
sized
area.
It'd
be,
would
it
be
the
500,
then
Crossing,
Fort
Harrison
into
the
400
and
then
down
into
the
park.
So
what
do
you
think
would
be
your
estimate
of
extra
police
during
those
times
for
that
size
of
an
area
I.
X
AG
AG
But
I
think
as
long
as
you're
kind
of
there's
a
criteria
that
you're
equally
applying
to
what
you're
choosing
to
open
it
for
I.
Think
that
you
could
do
that.
I
Did
any
of
these
other
districts
start
off
with
a
I
guess,
try
it
for
six
months
and
see
how
it
goes
or
did
they
go
right
into
it?.
AG
I'm
not
aware
of
them
doing
it
as
a
child,
just
because
of
the
ordinance
issue,
I'm
sure
that
they
did
some
sort
of
pilot
program
that
they
were
willing
to
repeal
the
ordinance,
if
necessary,
which
is
what
we
could
do
as
well,
but
I'm
not
aware
of
them
doing.
You
know
like
a
temporary
ordinance,
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
of
an
operation
that
we
could
do.
I
A
K
X
A
I
X
D
So
some
of
the
feedback
that
I
got
was
let's
say
you
want
I,
have
a
drink
at
Clear
Sky,
but
you
really
want
just
a
regular
burger
at
5
30..
They
have
to
like
sip
it
fast
and
which
was
over
a
year.
We
we
was
very
controlled,
but
it
promoted
movement
up
and
down
the
street,
and
it's
like
you
know,
I
know
I,
know,
there's
a
Fear
Factor,
so
am
I.
That's
why
I
really
wanted
this
to
have
to
off
input
and
willing
to
consider
limitation.
D
You
know
tools
put
in
place
to
minimize
the
risk,
however,
we're
not
Reinventing
the
wheel.
This
is
happening
everywhere
else
and
we
need
to
be
competitive,
and
this
is
something
that
would
help
because,
as
many
people
have
already
said,
you
know
going
to
these
Arenas
is
expensive
to
have
a
drink,
then
maybe
they
would
come
an
hour
and
a
half
earlier
and
have
their
first
or
second
drink
here
and
then
go
to
the
concert
again.
I
know
that
there's
a
you
know,
discomfort
level.
A
Well,
if
we
can
limit
to
something
like
that,
then
I'd
be
in
favor
of
it.
I'm,
really
not
in
favor
of
this
point
of
a
lot
of
people
take
alcohol
into
the
park
at
night
at
night.
Don't
think
of
what
we
just.
AG
Places
like
we've
even
looked
into
as
far
as
Duval
Street
in
Key
West,
to
whether
they
do
Orlando
has
Church
Street
that's
popular
particular
times
and
speaking
of
on
person,
officers
who
enforce
in
those
areas,
they've
basically
said
they're.
You
know
they
kind
of
turn
a
blind
eye.
There's
no
formalized
policy.
They
haven't
been
able
to
come
up
with
anything
similar.
AG
So
this
is
all
I've
seen
legally.
Unless
we
chose
to
do
something
like.
D
Superstore,
basically,
the
whole
purpose
was
to
have
people
flowing
down
two
streets
and
actually
going
into
the
restaurants,
so
they
paid
ten
dollars.
They
got
a
predetermined
glass
for
that
month
and
people
kept
the
class
because
it
was
a
nice
one,
and
then
you
would
go
from
business
to
business
and
taste
two
to
three
ounces
of
alcohol
with
their
appetizer
and
it
forced
people
to
go
down
both
two
blocks.
D
I
never
could
make
the
past
four
fourth
place,
because
I'm,
a
lightweight
after
four
I,
had
to
stop,
but
I
didn't
see
any
behavior.
That
alarmed
me.
What
about
option?
One?
Is
there
any
way
we
can
go
from
12
events
and
actually
match
that
number
to
how
many
concerts
there
were
they're
going
to
be.
That's.
AG
An
ADT
regulation
and
that's
actually
what
slip
and
straw
was
using.
They
used
that
special
event
ordinance
to
ER
that
we
currently
have,
and
it's
in
conjunction
with
ABT,
to
allow
them
to
do
those
particular
events
on
specialty
days.
AG
That's
what
ABT
allows,
and
so
we
could
do
it
on
those
12
days,
but
I
don't
know,
I
assume
we're.
Hopefully,
gonna
have
more
than
12
concerts.
B
It
does
not
allow
you
to
regulate
where
the
alcohol
comes
from,
but
can't
those
businesses
who
have
the
seats
out
on
Cleveland
Street
say
you
can't
bring
outside
alcohol
into
my
establishment
parameter.
So
you
can't
sit
on
my
chairs
if
you're
bringing
in
your
own
that.
X
A
X
B
A
I
think
it
could
be
control
if
we
could
control
it.
We
could
suit
both
entities,
but
I,
don't
think
I
hear
a
clear
way
of
doing
that
and
having
it
as
many
as
many
have
it
the
34..
Can
we
continue
kind
of
looking
at
this
and
bring
it
back
and
let's,
let's
talk
about
it,
I'd
like
to
hear
your
point
of
view
with
your
experience
of
what
you
think.
A
T
My
view
is
whatever
Miss
poyers
I,
don't
think
I
would
have
anything
that
would
be
a
prize
all
the
anxiety
that
you
talk
about.
I
have
that
I've
been
in
the
seat
where
I've
been
held
accountable
for
the
family-friendly
atmosphere
and
not
wanting
the
things
that
dilute
the
family
friendly
atmosphere
when
you
and
I.
F
T
B
B
D
A
E
B
Yeah,
oh
I
do
on
my
on
the
agenda.
Yes,
yes,
okay,
so
say
the
best
for
last
I
know
everybody's
and
it's
serious
and
neat
stuff,
but
I
I.
What
I
did
was
I
I
made
an
Abridged
version
of
our
point
in
time
count.
B
So
each
January,
nationally
communities
that
receive
money
from
hug
go
out
and
do
a
point
in
time
counts,
called
a
pay
count
of
who's
homeless
on
that
particular
date,
and
it
affects
the
amount
of
funding
that
we
get
and
so
each
year
we
have
a
report
on
our
point
in
time
count-
and
this
is
the
2023
report
and
the
homeless
leadership
a
lot
so
I'm
going
to
share
the
Continuum
of
Care,
which
is
throughout
the
county
and
we
contract
with
homeless
leadership,
Alliance
HLA,
that's
a
lead
agency
that
serves
our
homeless
populations
and
works
to
prevent
and
divert
homelessness,
and
so
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
this
but
I'm
going
to
again
on
the
front
page
I,
don't
know
YouTube
check
out
at
www.pinelishomeless.org
pit
data.
B
You
can
read
the
entire
report,
which
has
graphs
and
charts,
and
it
has
the
references
that
are
cited
in
here.
As
well
so
I
didn't
include
all
that
just
wanted
to
really
simplify,
and
so
we
count
people
that
are
sheltered,
that
are
in
shelters
or
hotels
or
transitional
housing,
Emergency
Shelters,
safe
havens,
and
then
we
also
count
unsheltered
people
and
those
are
volunteers
that
go
out.
A
number
of
our
police
officers
go
out.
B
I
and
I
go
out
every
year,
and-
and
you
actually
count
people
who
have
a
tablet
and
it
can
give
you
the
GPS
coordinates
if
you
can
fill
it
out
digitally
some
people
want
to
fill
out
a
survey
on
paper,
but
our
shelter
account
was
1498.
People
were
sheltered,
you
can
tell
where
they
were.
We
have
all
sorts
of
demographic
data
on
their
age
on
their
race,
all
that
stuff,
gender
and-
and
so
you
can
see
those
data
points
that
unsheltered
people.
B
So
these
are
the
people
that
are
actually
out
there
under
a
bush
or
in
an
encampment
646
people
were
identified
as
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness.
We
asked
them
a
series
of
questions
and
again
they
can
choose
to
answer
or
not.
They
can
stop
the
survey
at
any
time,
but
no
surprise
the
top
five
self-reported
reasons
for
housing
that
was
lost
included.
You
know
they
lost
a
job
or
financial
problems,
that's
kind
of
like
duh,
family
issues,
mental
or
medical
disability
issues,
eviction
to
jail
or
prison.
B
We
have
data
on
report,
self-reported
drug
abuse
or
mental
health
problems,
chronic
disabilities
all
that
stuff,
and
then
we
also
take
into
account
the
jail
count
as
well
as
Pinellas
County
school
account.
This
Pinellas
County
school
count
is
shocking
and
the
number
is
3768.
now
that
is
not
on
one
day
in
January.
That's
what
the
school
reports
to
us
for
that
calendar
year,
how
many
students
they
are
aware
of
that
are
not
living
in
their
own
housing,
so
they
may
be
in
hotels.
They
may
be.
B
You
know
doubling
up
with
family
members
or
friends,
or
they
may
in
fact
be
homeless,
but
that's
a
that's
a
jarring
number.
Our
Jail
number
is
675.
People
and
I
did
not
include
this
in
your
Abridged
version,
because
when
we
had
our
report
on
the
pit,
when
we
had
the
presentation
of
this
whole
report,
not
last
Friday
but
the
Friday
before
there
was
some
question
from
Lieutenant
haish,
who
is
our
representative
from
the
sheriff's
department,
run
Safe
Harbor
and
he
wanted
some
language
in
included
and
it
was.
B
We
have
the
675
people
that
are
in
jail,
who
have
self-identified
as
unhoused
or
lacking
permanent
housing,
which
is
really
what
everyone
else
does,
but
that
I
didn't
take
it
because
we
hadn't
it
hadn't
been
approved
when
I
prepared
this
over
the
weekend.
For
you,
but
anyway,
the
bottom
line
is
what
you
need.
B
The
takeaway
that
you
need
to
have
I
think
that's
important
is
that
we
have
over
5
000
people
in
our
County
that
are
faces
that
are
homeless,
that
are
in
homes
that
are
not
meant
to
be
their
homes,
either
shelters
or
double
them
up
or
in
in
homeless.
Show
diversion
programs
there's
some
information
here
from
this
introduction
that
was
prepared
by
this
by
T
Freeman
Gerhart,
who
is
the
PHD
candidate
at
Flora
USF,
who
prepared
this
Forks
there's
information
here
about
methods
and
data
collection.
B
Again,
you
know
the
data
is
only
as
good
as
the
reporting,
and
there
are
some
limitations
with
that.
So
the
discussion,
I
would
I
would
ask
you
to
take
a
look
at
the
discussion
here.
It's
important
to
look
at
the
demographic
information
together,
because
what
it
does
is
it
informs
us
on
what
type
of
programs
to
offer
and
who
to
Target
the
populations
that
aren't
being
served
as
well,
and
then
the
limitations
are
here
as
well.
B
The
most
important
part
again,
you
know
after
we're
dealt
the
blow
of
over
5000
people
that
are
facing
this
significant
problem,
which
isn't
a
surprise
to
us.
Right
is
the
recommendations
of
this
report,
and
this
is
where
I
think
we
need
to
think
about
these
recommendations,
as
we
partner
with
agencies
in
the
community
with
the
county
who
gets
a
third
of
our
tax
dollars
as
well
as
as
we
look
at
our
budget
allocations
and
so
vote
for.
B
Zero
is
the
philosophy
that
we
have
enough
housing
that
will
match
the
people
facing
homelessness
or
eviction
or
something
or
medical
crisis
and
they've
lost
their
home.
We
have
enough
housing
to
transition
them
into
that
they
can
afford.
That's
called
vote
for
zero,
so
there's
no
backup
do
we
have
that?
No
does.
B
Anytime,
soon,
probably
not,
but
it's
a
stated
goal:
it's
it's!
What
our
intentions
are.
So
that's
recommendation.
One
and
one
of
the
parts
in
here
that
I
think
is
particularly
important
when
we
consider
Clearwater
is
that
we
have
like
80
or
so
chronic
homeless,
that
that
really
circulate
around
our
community.
B
A
lot
of
times
in
the
downtown
area,
and
one
of
the
recommendations
is
here-
is
to
establish
formal
data
sharing
agreements
between
all
providers
within
the
COC,
including
those
that
aren't
part
of
the
COC,
such
as
Healthcare
entities
that
serve
Pinellas
County
residents
to
share
detailed
person-specific
information
that
will
track
these
chronic
homeless
to
help
them.
Now
we
have
to
have
them
sign
off
that
we
can
share
their
information
and
really
tailor
programs
and
projects
that
will
speak
to
their
individual
needs,
whether
it's
mental
health
substance
abuse,
disability.
Things
like
that.
B
So
that's
interesting,
there's
another
recommendation
that
we
use
a
plain,
clothed
approach
by
law
enforcement
when
we
do
conduct
the
unsheltered
pit
count
and
that's
feedback
from
people
with
lived
experience,
they
feel
a
lot
more
comfortable
being
approached
by
someone
in
plain
clothes,
rather
than
a
uniform
number.
B
Three
is
design
and
advocacy
community
outreach
and
communication
strategic
plan
with
measurable
outcomes
to
address
the
stigma
towards
stable
housing
initiatives
and
people
experiencing
homelessness,
and
apparently
there
were
a
number
of
years
ago
where
Kathleen
Peters,
who
I
serve
with
on
the
opioid
abatement
board,
had
said
there
was
a
real
push
for
Education
about.
This
is
the
face
of
homelessness,
to
destigmatize
it
and
so
I
think
we,
you
know,
they're
looking
at
doing
that
and
putting
a
face
on.
Actually
you
know
a
lot
of
our
people
that
face
homelessness
are
actually
employed.
B
They
have
families,
children
and
children
who
age
out
of
foster
care
are
particularly
vulnerable,
so
campaign
to
really
paint
a
fuller
picture
of
what
is
that
recommendation
number
four
is
being
pro
to
be
proactive,
creative
and
collaborative
when
identifying
and
applying
for
different
grants
or
opportunities
and
thinking
outside
the
box.
That's
just
encouraging
new
ways
to
think
about
how
they're
going
to
make
progress
recommendation
five.
We
are
actually
starting
this.
It
started.
It's
been
real
positive.
B
So
far,
this
is
to
solicit
needs
from
those
with
lived
experience
and
non-clinical
Community
stakeholders
who
frequently
encounter
individuals
experiencing
homelessness.
The
COC
and
the
HLA
is
forming
a
lived
experience.
Committee
we've
had
two
meetings
so
far.
The
one
on
June,
13th
or
15th
was
I.
Think
I
reported
to
you
all
standing
room
only
at
Largo,
Public,
Largo,
Central
Library
and
a
number
of
people
that
again
standing
remotely
of
people
who
lived
experience.
The
last
one
we
had
was
last
Friday
and
it
was
in
Saint,
Pete
and
fewer
people
attended.
B
There
were
about
20
of
us
in
that
meeting
and
they're
going
to
have
another
one
in
Clearwater,
I.
Think
it's
in
August,
so
I
would
expect
that
Clearwater
one
to
be
pretty
well
attended,
but
we've
started
to
do
that
and
that's
a
good
thing
kind
of
that
philosophy,
not
about
you
without
you
at
the
table
and
at
the
point
in
time
count
survey
methodology
to
match
the
community
needs
again.
This
is
feedback
from
both
the
people
who
do
the
survey
as
well
as
people
who
are
homeless,
with
lived
experience.
B
Recommendation
seven
is
to
establish
user-friendly
interface
to
publicize
de-identified
data,
so
individuals
providers
can
access
and
expand
upon
findings.
That's
to
take,
you
know,
take
away
any
identifying
features
of
of
the
data
to.
Let
us
all
know
the
full

of

eight

to

B
This
figures
right
into
our
funding
for
Safe
Harbor,
and
what
are
we
getting
for
that?
What
are
the
outcomes
and
are
we
really
making
a
dent
when
the
average
stay
is
about
three
days?
The

is
not
adequate,
so

is

Recommendation.
Nine
is
to
increase
Family
Outreach
Services
in
shelters
to
address
non-homeless
related
parenting
issues
when
people
are
in
hotels
or
shelters
and
they
have
children.
This
is
an
ideal
opportunity
to
really
work
with
them
about
parenting,
skills
about
tutoring
and
and
giving
full
services
to
their
children
when
they're
there.

B
I'm

I
have
a

Today.
It
starts
at

o'clock
at

but
you
know
usually
they're
delayed,
so
I'm
hoping
I
can
get
there,
but
my
the
one

that
I've
had
that
I've
been
representing
had
12

so
I'm
just
going
to
say
that

So
you
know
I
plan
to
share
this
with
the
big
c
I
serve
on
that
Big
C.
Now.
So
I
can
share
that
with
those
smaller
communities,
but
it's
important,
you
know
the
point
in
time.
Count
is
a
huge
undertaking.
We
have
valuable
useful
data,
it
does
have
some
limitations,
but
we
need
to
act
on
it.
B
If
we're
going
to
use
resources
to
participate
in
this,
we
need
to
review
the
data.
Take
it
seriously
and
do
something
with
it
besides,
you
know,
put
it
on
a
shelf
and
wait
till
next
year's
data.
