A
A
A
A
B
Are
we
speaking
from
here?
Yes,
okay,
this
is
my
first
time
here
good
afternoon.
You
all
I
just
wanted
to
well.
First
of
all,
Muhammad
Abdul
Rahim
I'm
at
1028,
North,
Madison,
Avenue,
Clearwater,
Florida
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
go
on
record
being
that.
B
This
is
something
that
just
coming
up
before
us
and
when
I
say
us
I'm
talking
about
representing
the
north
Greenwood
CRA
that
a
land
developer
has
actually
purchased
some
property
that
has
the
potential
of
impeding
Wetland
areas,
a
preserve
that
is
within
the
CRA
boundaries
and
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
of
letting
you
know
that
we
are
totally
against
that,
because
The
Preserve
on
Stevenson
Creek
is
the
only
natural
Preserve,
that's
actually
left
within
Clearwater,
and
hopefully
we
can
use
that
preserve
to
actually
enhance
our
area
and
I
would
hope
that
you
would
take
that
under
consideration
or
future
and
development.
D
C
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
First
off
I'd
like
to
start
off
that
on
the
October.
C
On
October
15th
at
Crest,
Lake
Park
there's
going
to
be
a
Hispanic
celebration.
They
were
not
invited
to
the
Mercado
and
some
other
stuff.
So
there's
going
to
be
a
vibration
at
the
crest
Lake
Park
I
just
want
to.
Let
you
guys
know
about
that.
So
I,
don't
know
what
url's
plan
is
I,
think
you
guys
are
going
to
have
an
up
opening
on
the
15th
at
the
Mercado,
but
it's
not
going
to
be
I
mean
the
Hispanic
people
weren't
invited
to
that.
C
What
I'm
here
to
talk
about
how
do
I
get
this
better?
Is
a
property
on
Stevenson's
Creek
that,
according
to
the
anyway,
according
to
the
north
Greenwood
I'll
play
this.
This
is
the
property
right
here
all
right.
It
is
a
part
of
The
Preserve
that
he
was
just
talking
about
and
in
the
north
Greenwood
plan.
You
guys
have
it
slated
as
what
is
it?
What
do
you
guys
call
it?
You
can
develop
it
I'll
get
on
to
that.
C
But
if
you
can
see
it's
basically
part
of
the
creek
all
right,
you
go
back
there.
It's
all
part
of
the
creek
and
it's
suitable
for
development.
That's
what
that's?
What
the
planning
people
said.
This
is
suitable
for
development
all
right.
So
here
it
is
in
the
North
Greenwood
plan
on
page
what
pages,
but
it's
showing
it
as
a
vacant,
land,
okay
and
then
the
next
one.
Here
it
is
it's
showing
a
suitable
for
development.
C
Okay,
who
said
The
Preserve
was
suitable
for
development
who
presented
this
and
here's
another
one
where
you're
talking
about
vacant
properties
and
infill.
Okay,
it's
not
a
vacant
property.
It's
a
preserve!
All
right,
don't
touch
it
all
right
there
in
the
long
range,
20,
20,
20
or
2045
comprehensive
plan.
C
That's
the
only
thing
it
makes
sense
all
right,
so
somebody
in
planning
put
this
through
to
the
north
Greenwood
to
to
develop
they're
preserved
that
whoever
did
that
should
be
fired.
All
right
that
is
terrible.
I
went
out
the
other
yesterday
and
picked
up
two
50
gallon
bags
of
trash,
and
here's
here
I
mean
this
is
what
it
looks
like
just
so
you
guys
know
before
it
gets
in
the
trash
bag.
C
A
Can
anyone
address.
E
A
F
All
right
anyway,
I
know
that
it
is
September,
but
this
presentation
is
about
an
event
that
we
did
this
year.
We
know
that
Juneteenth
is
now
a
Federal
holiday
and
the
Clearwater
Urban
Leadership
Coalition
was
honored
to
spearhead
this
year's
four-day
event
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
Clearwater,
and
then
we
dare
not
let
it
go.
I
noticed
that
it
was
a
fabulous
four
day
event
and
that
one
that
I'm
not
sure
how
we're
going
to
top
it
next
year,
but
it
was
a
great
event
and
I
wanted
to
share
some
information
about
that.
F
Worry
about
it.
That's
okay,
no
worries,
no
worries,
I'll,
just
wing
it
anyways
so
day.
One
first
of
all,
let
me
go
back
just
a
little
bit
just
to
make
sure
everybody
understands.
Juneteenth
is
a
commemoration
of
the
emancipation
of
the
enslaved
people
in
the
U.S.
So
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
educate
people
about
Juneteenth
and
why
it
is
important
for
us
to
celebrate
that
I
hope.
There's
nobody
in
this
room
to
think
slavery
was
a
good
thing.
So
that's
why
we
all
should
want
to
celebrate
it
right.
F
Okay,
so
what
we
did
day
one
we
did
what
was
called
painting
with
a
purpose
and
we
had
folk
registered
to
participate
in
the
event.
I
will
tell
you.
Unfortunately,
we
had
to
cut
off
the
registrations
because
we
maxed
out,
and
so
many
people
wanted
to
participate.
It
was
a
wonderful
event.
I
did
have
some
photos.
I
will
refer
you
to
where
you
can
see
the
photos
later.
It
was
a
well-attended,
very
diverse
group
age-wise,
our
oldest
painting
was
90
years
old
and
our
youngest
was
probably
about
seven
years
old.
F
It
was
an
amazing
event
and
we
had
food.
We
had
social
interaction
ethnicities
across
the
board.
It
was
amazing
and,
and
folk
want
to
do
it
now
every
month.
So
anyway,
on
day,
two
of
the
four
day
event
we
had
movie
night.
Unfortunately
it
did
rain
on
that
evening,
so
we
had
to
kind
of
pivot
and
we
ended
up
going
inside
of
the
Aquatic
Center,
where
we
had
the
Buffalo
Soldiers
and
we
had
the
movie
that
we
showed
was
42,
which
was
the
story
about
Jackie
Robinson
and
so
again.
F
That
too
was
great
and
thank
you
councilman
bunker
for
attending
that
and
councilwoman
Beckman
for
attending
the
painting
with
a
purpose
also,
and
anybody
else
that
I
overlooked
I'm.
Sorry,
if
I
missed,
you
was
not
intentional
on
that
Saturday.
That
Saturday
was
our
fashion,
show
our
business
expo
and
fashion
show
and
dance,
and
let
me
tell
you:
we
had
a
lot
of
fashion
with
flair.
We
had
our
Clearwater's
finest
I
think
we
we
were
able
to
I
have
not
only
our
city
manager,
Miss,
Jennifer,
Poirier,
our
city,
councilwoman,
I'm.
F
Sorry,
I
can
never
get
your
last
name
right:
Lena
T!
How
about
that
and
and
some
others
who
also
participated
in
the
fashion
show-
and
it
was
a
wonderful
evening
as
we
were
expressing
our
fashion,
our
expression
of
fashion
through
our
cultural
expression
of
fashion,
and
then
we
also
have
a
business
expo.
F
So
we
were
able
to
Showcase
a
number
of
businesses
that
came
and
set
up
and
shared
their
their
products
and
services
that
they
had
and
so
and
then,
of
course,
we
ended
it
with
it
with
a
wonderful
of
a
fun
dance
and
then,
on
day,
four,
we
had
a
the
gospel
experience,
which
happened
to
be
one
of
my
favorite
and
and
we
call
it
experience
for
a
reason,
because
it
was
just
that
and
it
was
the
Gospel
that
got
us
through
for
those
of
us
who
have
who
are
our
history
and
our
Legacy,
the
gospel
experiences.
F
What
what
gets
us
through
and
so
I
really
wish
more
of
you
could
have
attended
that
event.
But
we
thank
the
city
of
Clearwater.
Again,
our
goal
was
to
educate
and
to
celebrate
on
Juneteenth
and
I
think
we
did
just
that,
and
we
appreciate
the
partnership
with
the
city
of
Clearwater
and
look
forward
to
next
year.
That's
it
and
I'll
get
the
pictures
I'll
send.
A
You
very
much
Mr
great
presentation,
and
we
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
Okay
4.2
provide
an
update
on
the
Mercado
Construction.
H
No
I
haven't
had
to
wear
that
in
a
while,
which
is
new
and
different,
but
I'm
Kat,
Corcoran
I'm,
a
senior
landscape
architect
with
the
public
works,
Engineering,
Group
I'm,
the
project
manager
for
the
Cleveland
Street
streetscape
phase
3
project,
which,
if
you've
driven
through
you,
can
see
that
we
are
making
tremendous
progress.
We
are
down
to
our
final
Landscaping
in
that
area.
We
have
our
final
pavement
installed
and
by
the
end
of
the
month,
we
should
be
down
to
just
a
couple
of
punch
list
items
and
contractual
wrap
up,
and
things
like
that.
H
So
we're
very
pleased
to
provide
that
update
and
then
the
portion
that
we
call
the
Mercado
is
what
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
about
today.
Last
month,
while
I
was
actually
out
of
state,
we
received
a
revised
cost
estimate
for
the
Mercado,
based
on
the
design
changes
that
were
approved
by
the
trustees
and
the
community
about
this
time.
Last
year,
the
redesign
effort
and
the
ensuing
price
changes
that
the
contractor
is
entitled
to
rebid
for
a
scope.
Change
as
significant
as
we
approved
came
in
quite
a
bit
higher
than
we
were
expecting
in
I.
H
Think
April
I
kicked
back
the
original
price
estimate
saying
you
know,
that's
not
within
the
budget
that
we
had
approved
and
then
the
cost
estimate
that
came
in
in
August
was
even
higher
than
that,
and
the
change
is
significant
enough.
That
I
would
like
to
go
back
out
to
bid
in
the
engineering
department
and
the
CRA
director
and
Michael
are
on
board
with
this.
I
can't
guarantee
right
now
that
the
pricing
that
we're
getting
is
competitive
because
it
hasn't
been
competitively
bid.
H
We
regret
the
delay
as
a
result
of
this,
but
right
now
we
believe
the
only
way
that
we
can
move
forward
with
confidence
is
to
competitively
bid
the
project
to
ensure
that
we're
getting
the
most
cost
effective
approach
available.
I
have
some
photos
of
the
the
approved
design
if
you'd
like
to
be
reminded
of
what
we're
doing
so.
H
I
do
need
to
ask
you
to
use
your
imagination
very
slightly,
because
they're
in
two
separate
photos.
The
shade
structure
that
the
community
chose
is
what
I'm
calling
the
pinwheel.
So
it's
exactly
what
it
sounds
like.
It
goes
to
a
center
point
and
radiates
out.
These
are
not
the
final
colors,
but
they
are
within
the
final
color
palette.
I'm,
sorry
they're,
not
within
the
final
color
palette,
but
we'll
be
leaning
more
towards
the
the
green
end
of
things.
Now.
H
This
next
view
is
from
roughly
the
same
angle,
so
just
picture
what
I'm
about
to
show
you
underneath
this
one,
the
community
chose
to
add
a
Turf
section.
Underneath
the
original
design
was
purely
hardscaped
Plaza
area.
They
chose
to
add
this
Turf
space
underneath
that
shade
structure
because
they
wanted
the
space
to
be
more
green.
We
did
do
as
much
value
engineering
as
we
could
to
get
all
these
prices
under
control.
H
But
of
course
we
know
that
what's
happened
between
2021
when
the
space
was
originally
bid
and
now
is
a
very
different
story
and,
like
I
said,
when
we
make
significant
scope
changes,
the
contractor
is
entitled
to
adjust
their
pricing
to
current
value.
So
with
that
there
are
a
couple
of
items
that
I
would
like
to
retain
from
the
original
contract.
One
item
that
we
were
successful
in
value
engineering
was
the
shade
structure
itself,
so
that
contract
right
now,
USA
shade,
is
technically
a
subcontractor
of
Gibson
register.
That's
the
contractor
for
the
overall
streetscape
and
mercado.
H
They
are
amenable
to
transferring
that
contract
directly
to
the
city.
We've
already
had
about
ninety
thousand
dollars
of
sunk
costs
into
that
line
item
and
that
will
fit
into
the
approved
budget
that
was
cleared
by
the
trustees
back
in
2021,
and
there
will
be
even
a
little
bit
of
cost
savings
handling
that
as
what
we
call
an
odor
direct
purchase
item
rather
than
putting
it
as
a
sub.
H
Under
whichever
contractor,
we
take
on
board
that
ninety
thousand
dollars
of
sunk
costs
goes
to
their
final
engineering,
a
deposit,
that's
required
for
the
piece
itself,
and
then
we
also
did
receive
some
anchoring
bolts
that
will
hold
and
will
be
utilized
for
the
the
final
installation.
So
for
that
reason,
I
believe
it's
impractical
to
re-bid
it
and
because
I'm
comfortable
with
that
price
out
of
all
of
them,
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
that
doesn't
also
escalate
when
we
go
back
out
to
bid.
H
Furthermore,
right
now
the
Mercado
space
is
just
kind
of
open
land.
We
have
our
silt
fencing
in
place,
but
not
much
else.
There
are
a
couple
of
things
that
I
would
like
to
install
before
Gibbs
and
register
leaves,
and
we
go
back
out
to
bid,
and
that
includes
conduit
to
support
Duke,
Energy's
lighting.
So
right
now
we
have
Lighting
on
the
other
sides
of
Cleveland
and
Gulf
to
Bay,
but
I
feel
like
that
corner
will
be
significantly
safer
if
we
can
go
ahead
and
install
Duke,
Energy's
permanent
lighting.
H
So
that's
something
that
we
won't
have
to
pay
for
again
when
this
is
rebid
and
then
finally
to
install
sod
over
the
surface
of
that
landscape,
so
that
we
don't
have
any
storm
water
effects.
Any
washout
issues,
while
we're
waiting
and
I
do
anticipate
having
this
publicly
posted
for
bidding
within
the
first
week
of
October
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have.
H
Go
back
up
yeah,
so
I've
had
some
discussions
with
our
procurement
manager.
Lori
Vogel
and
Owen
Kohler
in
our
legal
department
and
I
would
like
to
avoid
unless
I'm
specifically
told
by
the
legal
department
too
I
want
a
competitive,
Bid
And.
If
I
announce
the
number
that
came
in,
then
everybody
would
just
undercut
that
by
a
few
thousand.
So
I
would
just
like
you
to
trust
me
that
it
was
significant
enough
that
I
would
come
here
and
do
this.
J
So
what
is
going
to
happen
in
October?
Are
you
going
to
have
some
of
this
prepared
like
without
the
roof
on
it?
You
said
something
about
putting
sod
down,
but.
H
Yeah,
let's
see,
oh,
you
can
see
my
finger
great,
so
I'm
going
to
trace
kind
of
the
exterior
property
line.
It
goes
like
along
the
sidewalk
that
already
exists.
So
all
of
these
planter
beds
that
you
see
are
within
the
Mercado
project
and
then
all
this
Hardscape
and
all
this
Turf,
all
this
Landscaping.
So
right
now
the
sidewalk
that
is
there
will
remain,
and
everything
between
it
will
be
sodded,
with
the
exception
of
the
areas
where
we
put
the
permanent
light
posts
in.
H
Be
an
open,
Turf
area.
If
people
want
to
sit
there,
certainly
wouldn't
stop
them,
but
it'll
just
be
like
a
line
of
the
the
lights
which
I
said
are
going
to
be
in
their
permanent
location
and
sod.
H
Yeah
so,
like
I
said,
I'd
like
to
get
it
posted
the
first
week
of
October
and
then
it
because
of
the
value
we
have
to
post
it
for
30
days
and
then
it's
our
normal
procurement
process
from
there
and
so
we'll
bring
it
back
to
the
earliest
available
trustee
meeting
after
we
get
our
pricing.
K
So
we're
going
so
we're
going
out
for
the
avocado.
Yes,
so
all
those
raised
beds
the
circle
beds,
that's
not
included
so
that
it
will
be
it'll,
be
part
of
the
bid
part
of
the
bid
all
right.
So
the
only
thing
that
people
are
going
to
see
in
October
is
this
kind
of
looks
sort
of
like
a
heart-shaped
thing.
The
great
will
that
be
cut
out
like
a.
H
H
Like
I
said,
we
pushed
back
on
that
and
tried
to
Value
engineer
that
and
weren't
successful.
So
all
you'll
see
is
it's
kind
of
I,
don't
know
if
it's
showing
it's
a
slightly
darker
gray
here
you
see
that
that's
already
installed.
That
will
remain
everything
else
inside.
That
line
will
just
be
those
permanent
lighting,
fixtures
and
sod.
H
And
we're
not
really
losing
anything
I'm,
just
I'm
recommending
that
we
go
back
out
to
bid
because
of
the
cost
jump.
It
was
the
redesign
effort
that
entitled
the
contractor
to
rebid
it.
What's.
H
No,
it
was
the
sod
and
the
the
redesign
of
the
shade
piece
itself.
H
Structure,
yeah
and
the
sod
that's
it
well,
I
mean
those
I
could
go
into
the
more
technical
detail
of,
like
the
ripple
effect
on
construction
that
these
things
had.
But
this
represents
a
scope
change
large
enough
where
they
were
entitled
to
give
us
updated
pricing.
Okay
and.
H
Yeah
so,
like
I
mentioned,
they're
amenable
to
transferring
their
contract
from
being
currently
under
Gibbs
and
register
to
directly
working
with
the
city.
K
H
K
Okay,
so
I
don't
see
anything
there.
That
looks
like
I.
Remember
you
know.
A
few
years
ago
we
had
kind
of
a
wall
like
a
half
wall
that
people
talked
about
putting
art
on
I,
don't
see
that
depicted
anywhere.
So
you
know
what
we're
going
up
to
bid
for
is.
Is
it
simply
those
Planters
and
installing
the
shade
structure.
H
So
it's
the
Planters,
and
these
haven't
changed
significantly.
We
didn't
have
a
contiguous
wall,
we've
always
had
I
call
them
Bubbles
and
the
public
art
Amber
she's,
going
out
to
bid
for
putting
tile
mosaics
around
the
base
of
each
one,
which
I
think
will
be
very
beautiful,
so
that
hasn't
really
changed
the
the
location
of
them
and
whether
they're,
combined
with
others
that
did
have
to
shift
as
a
result
of
the
shade
piece
that
we
chose.
H
You
know
like
everything,
has
to
physically
fit
in
the
space
it'll
be
hardscaping,
it's
all
the
landscaping
and
the
irrigation
required
to
support
it,
bringing
infill
for
these
Planters.
We
are
providing
an
electrical
junction
box
at
one
end
so
that
you
can
come
and
plug
and
play
like
an
inflatable
movie
screen
or
something
like
that
and
then
yeah
the
turf
area
that
required
a
massive
change
to
the
irrigation
program,
of
course,
and
yeah.
This,
the
changes
to
to
the
other
side
were
insignificant,
but
we
did
adjust
a
ramp
a
little
bit
and
things
like.
H
Correct
I
have
not
received
direction
to
pursue
artificial
turf
at
the
time
all
of
this
design
was
happening.
We
had
not
yet
passed
the
ordinance
allowing
it
in
public
spaces.
I
think
that
would
further
increase
that
line
item
cost.
Of
course
it
would
cut
down
your
irrigation,
but
The
Upfront
investment
on
artificial
surface
significantly
more.
L
G
Good
afternoon
trustees,
Ann
Lopez
interim
CRA
director
this
item
before
you
is
the
annual
interlocal
agreement
between
the
community
redevelopment
agency
and
the
City
of
Clearwater.
The
CRA
agrees
to
provide
Tiff
funding
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
982
526
dollars
for
this
contract
year.
This
includes
nine
hundred
forty
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and
twenty
four
dollars
for
Staffing
and
roughly
35
000
for
City
internal
fees.
This
cost
has
increased
over
the
current
year
that
we're
in
and
that's
due
to
the
increase
of
CRA
staff
currently
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
Hi
Kathy
Flaherty
yeah,
oh
sorry,
Kathy,
Flaherty,
yeah
I
really
have
no
problem
with
you,
guys
coordinating
pain,
the
CRA
staff,
but
the
problem
is
the
CRA
staff
doesn't
work
for
the
people
that
live
in
the
CRA
Community.
They
tend
to
work
for
the
people
that
manage
the
downtown
area.
C
So
I
don't
know
if
we
need
that
many
CRA
staff,
because
they
don't
really
do
anything
that
I've
seen
I
mean
my
Mercado
I
mean
that
that's
been
going
on
for
years
now,
I
mean
not
once
have
they
gone
out
and
outreached
the
Hispanic
Community
we
could
get
a
Hispanic
speaking
person
and
the
CRA
that
would
be
a
that
would
be
a
bonus.
We
don't
have
one,
we
don't
have
anybody.
Do
you
speak
Spanish
and
okay?
Well,
that
you
haven't
engaged
this
Spanish
community
in
my
neighborhood.
C
L
Approve
an
in
or
local
agreement
between
the
Clearwater
Community
Development
agency
and
the
City
of
Clearwater
provides
CRA
funding
and
fiscal
year.
2023
2024
in
an
amount
of
257
642.91
to
underwrite
the
cost
of
additional
community
policing
Services
by
the
Clearwater
Police
Department
in
the
downtown
cra
to
address
quality
of
life
issues,
drug
dealing
and
homelessness
and
authorized
appropriate
officials
to
execute
same.
G
Again,
Ann
Lopez
interim
CRA
director
first
I
would
like
to
mention
that
this
morning
we
did
find
there
was
an
error
in
the
calculations
for
the
salary
for
the
police
department.
So
we
have
provided
to
each
of
you
a
redlined
interlocal
agreement
as
well
as
changes
to
the
Staffing
costs
for
the
two
police
officers.
G
As
part
of
this
interlocal
agreement
between
the
Clearwater
Police
Department
and
the
CRA
Quality
of
Life
issues,
drug
dealing
homelessness,
they
all
negatively
a
pack,
the
downtown
Redevelopment
plan,
the
com,
additional
community
policing
resources
are
needed
to
effectively
address
these
issues.
Above
and
beyond
the
level
that's
provided
by
routine
Road,
Patrol
functions
and
allowable
funding.
Source
of
these
of
this
active
item
is
to
use
CRA
funds.
Florida
statute
allows
for
the
use
of
these
funds
for
community
policing
initiatives
in
the
CRA
areas.
G
The
CRA
in
the
Clearwater
Police
Department
have
reached
an
agreement
on
a
proposed
scope
of
service
and
terms
delineated
in
this
interlocal
agreement.
Included
in
the
proposed
scope
is
the
delineation
of
specific,
specific,
measurable
crime
reduction
targets
by
which
to
monitor
the
success
of
the
initiative
and
the
price
change
for
the
staffing
for
the
two
officers
is
249
746.46
and
with
that,
I
would
like
to
introduce
major
Burnside
who'd,
be
able
to
provide
an
update
and
answer
any
questions
from
the
Clearwater
Police
Department.
N
Good
afternoon
major
Nate
Burnside
from
the
police
department.
This
item
before
you
is
a
renewal
of
the
annual
agreement
that
has
been
placed
between
the
police
department
and
CR
since
2018
I'm,
sorry
2008..
The
agreement
provides
funding
for
two
fully
equipped
uniform
police
officers
with
the
primary
responsibility
of
providing
enhanced
law
enforcement
services
within
the
CRA
boundaries
by
working
in
partnership
with
CRA
staff,
business
owners
residents
and
co-enforcement
to
reduce
crime
enhance
quality
of
life.
N
These
two
officers
will
be
will
work
directly
with
the
police
department's
downtown
bike
team,
which
will
be
used
as
a
force
multiplier
to
suppress
crime
exhibit.
A
of
this
agreement
has
been
amended
based
on
projected
employee
costs.
The
budget
and
finance
office
has
provided
a
total
amount
of
249
746.46.
N
The
object
or
I'm
sorry,
the
objectives
are
contained
within
the
agreement,
have
been
updated.
Based
on
the
previous
reports,
an
area
to
highlight
is
that
the
PD
will
be
coordinating
with
Crea
staff
to
host
a
minimum
of
six
community
outreach
meetings
in
the
CRA
boundaries
with
residents
and
business
owners.
N
K
N
Well,
the
first
is
obviously
providing
those
monthly
stats
stats
if
they
happen
by
monthly,
but
it's
another
way
for
us
to
engage
the
residents
one-on-one.
Sometimes
you
rely
just
on
that
tip
information
coming
in
and
when
that
tip
information
comes
in
and
gets
processed
through
the
police
department,
sometimes
we're
a
day
or
two
behind
and
to
be
honest
with
you
I,
don't
think
business
owners
or
residents
are
taking
advantage
of
those
tips
on
tip
lines.
So
it's
for
us
to
have
face-to-face
encounters
with
them
and
get
more
of
that
direct.
N
K
O
You
I
have
a
quick
request.
These
yearly
and
monthly
reports
that
includes
activities
and
statistical
information
can
that
be
directly
sent
to
the
CRA
trustees.
Thank
you.
A
Any
other
questions
or
comments,
so
the
price
went
down
by
about
eight
thousand
dollars.
Those
are
the
kind
of
mistakes
we
like.
Anyone
can
probably
want
to
speak
to
this.
You
have
to
come
up.
P
Everyone,
my
name,
is
Gina
Ramos
I
am
the
President
of
the
Clearwater
Hispanic
Farmers
Market,
hello.
My
question
is
that
for
for
the
police
department,
this
allocated
budget
I
understand
six
events
per
year,
so
would
I
mean
that
the
non-profit
organizations
will
not
have
be
billed
for
the
policing
Department
because
it's
already
covered
they
have
already
been
paid.
Can
you
clarify
it
a
little
bit
about
that
place?
So
thank
you.
G
I
can
answer
that
one
for
you,
so
the
six
events
that
Miss
Ramos
is
talking
about
is
the
community
engagement,
so
those
would
not
be
event
specific,
like
the
Hispanic
Farmers
Market.
Those
are
more
engagements
that
the
CRA
staff
and
the
Clearwater
Police
Department
would
go
out
and
do
throughout
the
entire
cra.
C
Kathy
Flaherty
all
right.
The
police
I
usually
am
really
supportive
of
the
police
out
there
during
the
CRA
this
year,
I'm
not
so
happy
part
of
it
is
because
of
the
streetscape,
and
we've
had
no
street
lights
on
Gulf
to
Bay
for
almost
two
years.
Okay,
it
is
dark
that
street
has
been
closed
for
two
years.
You
try
to
run
a
business
with
your
street
clothes
for
two
years.
You
try
to
be
safe
with
a
street
clothes
for
two
years.
Okay,
it
doesn't
work
the
neighbor
who
has
a
real
estate
business.
C
Her
place
was
broken
into
a
couple
days
ago,
all
right.
They
stole
her
laptop
and
her
hard
drive
and
her
and
her
computer.
So
somebody
has
all
the
real
estate
information
from
that
business.
That's
her
whole
life,
okay
and
that
street
is
dark.
Okay
and
I.
Don't
think
that
would
have
happened
if
we
had
a
street
light.
I
also
haven't
seen.
I've
asked
I,
have
begged
for
more
police
up
there
to
look
to
drive
around
I,
haven't
seen
anybody
up
there,
all
right,
okay,
I,
don't
know
where
you
guys
been
I
mean
I.
C
We
we
get
up.
My
shop
opens
at
six
o'clock
in
the
morning.
That's
when
everything
happens
up
there,
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
in
my
neighborhood
that
goes
on
early
in
the
morning,
I
mean
but
I
never
see
any
police
I
see
John's
driving
around
we're
lower
on
the
prostitution,
because
you
close
the
hooker
hotel
all
right
and
we're
lower
on
the
drugs,
because
you
guys
finally
crossed
the
crack
house
up
there,
but
we
are
not
lower
but
we're
still
getting
broken
into,
and
it's
not
the
people
that
live
in
the
community.
C
C
He
took
a
giant
TV
like
he
couldn't
even
carry
you
put
it
under
his
arm
and
took
off
with
it
down
the
skate
down
the
street
on
his
skateboard
at
four
o'clock
in
the
morning,
but
it
was
dark
because
there's
no
street
lights,
so
I'm
asking
you
guys
to
please
get
the
police
up
there
and
keep
us
safe.
I
mean
you
guys,
don't
care
if
we
have
lights
or
not
at
least
give
us
some
police.
We
pay
for.
K
Well,
can
can
we
have
some
information
about
when
lights
will
be
operational
and
any
additional
patrolling
in
the
area.
G
Florida
State
Statute,
163
387
requires
that
all
taxing
authorities,
which
includes
the
Downtown
Development
board,
make
an
annual
appropriation
in
an
amount
equal
to
its
increment
increase
in
ad
valorem
Revenue
within
a
CRA
area.
The
ddb's
increment
payment
is
363,
000
and
12.
According
to
Pinellas
County
Property
Appraiser's
office,
the
CRA
and
ddb
can
enter
into
an
agreement
in
which
the
ddb
agrees
to
perform
certain
responsibilities
and
functions,
including
funding
projects
and
programs
consistent
with
the
downtown
Redevelopment
plan.
G
The
intent
of
this
agreement
is
for
the
ddb
and
the
CRA
to
work
collaboratively
on
projects
and
programs
that
further
downtown
goals
and
objectives.
The
management
of
the
ddb
by
the
CRA
staff
enables
the
CRA
and
the
ddb
to
utilize
public
dollars
more
efficiently.
The
ddb
shall
pay
the
CRA
84
357
dollars
for
services
agreed
to
in
this
interlocal,
and
the
Downtown
Development
board
approved
this
interlocal
agreement
at
their
August
2nd
meeting
this
year,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Any.
C
Okay,
are
you
ready
all
right?
This
is
I'm
going
to
play
a
video.
This
is
last
year's
ddb
approval
meeting
of
this
they
have
to
they
have
to
approve
their
side
of
this
contract.
Basically,
what
it
is
is
the
CRA
gets
money
through
property
taxes,
okay,
the
Downtown
Development
people.
C
If
they
pay
property
taxes,
they're
going
to
pay
the
CRA
I
pay
property
taxes,
I
pay
the
CRA,
okay
they're,
not
special
They,
operated
separately
from
the
CRA
for
a
long
time,
and
then
there
was
an
ordinance
that
came
in
that
wiped
the
ddb,
basically,
their
powers
out.
They
used
to
be
part
of
the
development
part
of
the
of
the
city.
Basically,
the
CRA
took
that
over
that
was
in
1993
in
1999.
They
did
this.
They
did
this
agreement,
so
the
CIA,
the
ddb,
could
basically
have
more
get
some
money.
Get
their
money
back.
C
C
They
laughed
they
laughed
after
they
got
paid,
they
know
it's
a
joke,
they
don't
get,
they
get
so
much
money
and
then
they
also
get
power
to
the
they
get
power
for
the
the
city
they
get
con.
They
get
it's
ridiculous.
Nothing
gets
done.
Okay,
this
is
their
you
wanna.
This
is
their
they're
supposed
to
give
advice
to
the
to
the
CRA
staff,
all
right.
C
They've
laughed
in
your
face:
Mark
bunker
like
three
times
all
right:
they
don't
do
anything.
They
don't
do
anything
for
the
for
the
CRA.
It's
a
waste
of
money.
All
right
and
Lena
was
on
it
and
you
were
on
it.
You
shouldn't
be
voting
for
this
contract.
That's
a
that's
a
I,
don't
know
what
you
called
I
mean
you.
You
help
make
you
help.
They
don't
want
to
do
black
mitigation.
They
want
to
do
development,
they've
gone
and
they've
helped
change
permit
codes.
Why
do
you
think
these
buildings
are
going
up
everywhere?
C
I
mean
you
got
Michael
Delk
in
charge
of
the
CRA
and
in
charge
of
planning
all
right,
they're,
all
cohesives,
all
right!
We
get
nothing
done,
but
the
downtown
gets
all
this
building
and
stuff
all
right.
I've
sent
you
I've
sent
you
so
many
videos
of
horrible
things
that
this
board
has
done
all
right
and
laughed
and
you
guys
still
vote
for
them.
It's
a
contract
all
right.
They
existed
10
years
before
they
were
contracted,
then
the
only
reason
they
contract
is
because
the
state
wiped
out
their
their
privileges.
G
The
purpose
of
this
item
is
to
adopt
the
fiscal
year
2023-2024
community
redevelopment
agency
budget,
the
CRA
has
aligned
its
proposed
project
expenditures
to
facilitate
future
Redevelopment
of
downtown
through
the
implementation
of
the
downtown
plan.
Some
major
highlights
of
this
proposed
budget
is
the
tax
increment
revenue
of
6
million.
G
Operating
expenditures
have
increased
by
just
over
35
000
from
the
current
year
and
that's
to
account
for
the
additional
staff
transfers
out
our
the
interlocal
with
the
city
of
Clearwater
and
the
downtown
of
develop
or
the
Clearwater
Police
Department,
which
are
found
as
part
of
the
general
fund
and
community
policing.
Those
lines
total
one
million
two
hundred
and
forty
thousand
one
sixty
nine.
The
remaining
City
Tiff
revenues
have
been
allocated
to
community
engagement,
Economic,
Development
transportation
and
housing.
G
K
Thank
you
so
just
to
be
clear.
This
six-year
budget
is
for
the
downtown
or
the
downtown
cra.
This
is
correct.
Okay
and
then
your
last
item
that
you
read
about
the
county,
Tiff
funds
of
2
581
329
are
restricted
to
Capital
Improvement
projects,
housing
and
land
acquisition.
Can
you
let
me
know
you
know
what
so
we
have
250
000
going
to
Economic
Development
I.
Imagine
what
their
intent
is.
But
can
you
clarify
what
they're
going
to
use
that
money.
G
For
so
our
intent
to
use
that
under
Economic
Development
are
for
facade
Improvement
Grants.
Those
are
some
items
that
we
can
use
County
money
for.
We
can
also
use
it
for
if
there
needs
to
be
any
sort
of
environmental
work
for
land
acquisition.
K
Okay,
so
I
don't
understand
how
I
thought
that
the
250
000
allocated
to
Economic,
Development
I,
didn't
think
it
would
be
for
facade
work.
I
mean
I
thought
it
would
be
for
land
acquisition,
but
that
can
be
used
for
environmental
remediation
as
well.
G
So
the
economic
development,
Transportation
housing-
those
are
the
titles
of
the
project,
funds
about
2018
the
county,
provided
an
outline
or
a
guide
for
cras
in
the
county
that
showed
us
what
how
we
could
spend
our
money
and
so
in
2018
we
kind
of
revised
what
our
project
funds
look
like
to
allocate
based
on
those
descriptions.
So
it
was
Economic
Development,
Transportation,
infrastructure,
housing,
community,
policing,
Community
engagement,
so
that's
from
2018
was
how
we
revised
our
project
codes.
It
took
us
from
about
25
to
about
10
project
codes,
so.
K
G
J
K
K
R
K
M
G
So
I
just
have
a
few
updates
for
the
director's
report.
We
have
a
total
of
25
North
Greenwood
Community
grants.
I
did
have
in
my
notes
that
21
of
those
have
been
signed,
although
I
did
get
additional
three
more
so
I
have
just
one
that
is
outstanding.
That
we've
not
received
signature
on.
We
have
five.
We
have
15
who
have
gone
out
for
payment
as
of
last
week
and
there's
more
in
the
queue
for
this
week.
G
I've
been
in
contact
with
all
of
the
applicants
through
the
approval
process
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
be
part
of
the
orientation
that
the
Clearwater
Urban
League
Coalition
is
party
providing
as
part
of
their
their
grant,
that
they
received
for
the
north
Greenwood.
G
We
do
have
some
upcoming
new
businesses,
so
in
the
1100
Cleveland
Street,
there's
lazario's,
Italian,
Kitchen
and
red
bar.
That's
currently
open
they're
doing
a
soft
opening
right
now
and
Sierra
staff
will
be
meeting
with
him
this
week
to
talk
about
how
we
can
help
them
moving
forward
and
there's
also
looks
to
be
a
Flawless
Beauty
Loft
on
the
other
side
of
that
location,
we've
reached
out
to
them.
G
We
do
have
a
couple
locations
in
the
Gateway
that
staff
has
been
working
on
to
help
provide
them
with
some
business
renovation
grants
Nash
Keys,
which
is
in
our
500
block.
They
are
currently
in
their
temporary
location,
which
is
the
old
flamboyant
restaurant
and
that's
currently,
where
they're
holding
their
Nash
Keys
they're,
doing
themed
nights
and
once
they
receive
their
certificate
certificate
of
occupancy,
they
will
move
into
their
permanent
location
and
then
they'll
begin
Renovations
on
the
Prelude
Sports
Bar.
G
We
do
know
that
530
Pub
has
closed
and
the
other
one
that
I
noticed
just
by
on
my
way
in
was
waxing
Willy's
Car
Wash,
which
is
right
on
the
corner.
We
noticed
that
one
had
closed
as
well,
so
we
haven't
been
able
to
reach
out
to
them,
but
I
have
directed
staff
to
reach
out
and
see
if
they
can
find
out.
G
We
did
do
a
downtown
Clearwater
survey
and
we
asked
just
five
really
quick
questions,
which
is
what
type
of
business
would
you
like
to
see
in
downtown
and
I
will
provide
the
trustees
with
all
of
the
information
from
that
survey.
But
some
of
the
top
responses
were
restaurants,
bars
and
ice
cream,
and
then,
when
we
asked
specifics,
the
Top
Choice
was
Trader
Joe's.
G
We
also
asked
them
what
type
of
activities
they'd
like
to
see
in
downtown.
It
was
markets,
art
farmers,
markets
and
your
home
zip
code.
So
the
majority
that
we
received
was
from
Clearwater
Safety,
Harbor
and
Largo,
and
of
that
survey
there's
again
a
total
of
302
submissions,
just
a
little
over
31
of
them
stated
that
they
visit
downtown.
G
More
than
once
a
week,
CRA
staff
has
been
working
with
the
marketing
manager
for
Ruth
Ecker
Hall
to
coordinate
with
the
local
merchants
in
downtown,
and
one
of
the
things
that
they're
hoping
to
be
able
to
partner
is
hosting
After
parties
for
concert
nights,
helping
to
promote
concerts,
doing
themed
nights.
G
K
Can
you
comment
on
Outreach
to
East
Gateway
neighbors
residents,
businesses
for
engagement
on
the
Mercado
that
we
do
call
it
the
Mercado,
not
Mercado,
Festival
core
or
anything
like
that,
and
that
there
is
you
know.
I
know
your
staff
works
hard,
but
can
you
comment
on
your
process
of
Outreach
to
the
community
and
engagement
and
bringing
diverse
people
to
the
table?
Sure.
G
So
one
of
the
things
that
was
an
initiative
prior
to
my
sitting
in
this
role
was,
we
did
have
a
survey
that
had
gone
out
to
the
business
owners
and
the
community
members
series
staff
had
done
that
they
had
gone
out
to
speak
with
them
specifically
regarding
the
Mercado,
and
this
was
before
we
knew
of
any
delays
in
construction.
It
was
do
you
know
about
it?
What
would
you
like
to
see
so
those
were
conversations
that
staff
did
have
one-on-one
going
out
into
the
community.
G
The
other
thing
that
I
have
asked
is
that
they're
just
weekly
out
there
going
to
just
touch
base,
you
know,
show
them
who
you
are
and
to
reintroduce
yourself.
If
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
to
help.
You
know
provide
that
information
and
know
that,
even
if
we
are
not
the
resource
we
will
find,
we
will
help
you
to
find
an
answer.
So
that's
one
thing
that
I
am
asking
staff
to
do
not
only
in
the
Gateway
but
in
downtown
as
well.
M
Can
you
can
you
tell
us
what
the
folks
who
surveyed
said
they'd
like
to
see
in
the
Mercado
and
how
it
would
be
used.
G
P
Dina
Ramos,
president
of
the
Clearwater
Hispanic
Farmers,
Market,
hello,
again,
I
just
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention.
You
know
the
gap
between
the
Hispanic
community
and
city
of
Clearwater.
P
We
are
definitely
working
to
change
that
and
and
that's
why
one
of
the
meetings
that
we
have
with
Anne
just
about
a
week
ago,
we
brought
in
about
eight
different
organizations,
Hispanic
organizations,
and
so
it
is
extremely
important-
is
that
that
we
build
a
relationship
with
the
city.
We
want
to
be
part
of
what
happens
in
our
community.
P
After
all,
you
know
we
are
the
biggest
I
mean
already
and
in
the
state
in
the
nation,
but
I
would
just
want
to
stress
the
importance
about
working
with
the
Hispanic
community
and
not
for
the
Hispanic
Community
we're
more
than
willing,
and
so
in
regards
to
the
Mercado
Plaza,
for
example.
We
are
definitely
interested
in
that
particular
location
because
it
actually
happens
to
be
in
the
middle
of
the
biggest
Hispanic
Community
concentration,
and
so
we
take
it
very
personal.
You
know
that
is
in
our
backyard.
P
You
know
it's
among
you
know
the
Hispanic
businesses,
and
so
we
would
like
to
be
part
of
the
grand
opening
and
not
only
to
be
part
of
the
grand
opening
at
the
Mercado
Plaza,
but
also
to
have
monthly,
if
not
weekly,
events
that
will
bring
families
with
children.
Our
Focus,
the
Clearwater
Hispanic
Farmers
Market,
focuses
on
families
with
children,
which
is
why
we
constantly
for
the
last
four
years.
P
We
always
bring
children,
families
with
children,
educational
workshops
and
resources
that
connect
people
with
it,
and
so
this
is
something
that
we
are
very
much
striving
to
change
and
I
know
that
Clearwater
is
doing.
You
guys
are
doing
a
whole
lot
of
changes
and
I
commend
you
for
that.
Thank
you,
Anne
and
thank
you,
everybody
all
of
you
and
so
little
by
little
I
believe
we
can
do
this.
P
We
can
change,
and
so
people
are
the
greatest
resources
of
a
government
and
the
government
actually
works
for
people
and
so
I'm
here
to
represent
all
of
these
organizations.
You
know
lulac
unimix,
you
know
a
whole
lot
of
other
organizations
that
are
willing.
Not
many
of
them
are
willing
to
come
to
the
table
because
certain
red
tapes
and
bureaucracies
around
but
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that
that
we
are
that
I
believe
that
that
can
change.
P
We
want
that
to
change
and
and
I
believe
that
we
can
do
it,
and-
and
so
we
want
to
be
part
of
the
decisions
that
the
city
government
makes
for
the
Hispanic
community,
that
we
want
to
be
involved
in
it,
and
so
just
like
the
previous
lady
mentioned
a
little
bit
ago,
we
would
love
to
have
a
volunteer
seat
if
that
is
any
way
possible
when
CRA
or
when
the
city.
You
know
people
that
come
out
of
the
community
and
sit
with
you
before.
P
M
Sir
yeah,
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
the
mayor
and
I
and
council
member
tesheta
went
to
the
sister
cities.
Signing
ceremony
and
I
was
overwhelmed
by
the
the
response
there.
How
many
people
showed
up
for
this
and
what
a
great
time
we
had
music
food.
It
was
a
a
real
celebration
and
we
do
need
to
do
a
much
better
job
of
reaching
out
and
interacting
with
the
Hispanic
Community.
Thank.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
One
thing,
since
you
brought
that
up
that,
following
that
meeting,
I
was
approached
by
a
gentleman
and
his
wife
that
had
50
young
people
playing
basketball
and
they
were
complaining.
They
had
a
hard
time
getting
courts.
I
gave
them
the
name
of
the
executive
director
Clearwater
for
youth,
who
runs
programs
in
the
north,
Greenwood
Center
in
other
areas,
and
they
said
please
call,
and
they
never
called
from
what
I'm
hearing
is
sometimes
that
there's
a
lack
of
trust
and
I.
A
Think
that
has
to
be
bridged,
because
those
young
boys
and
girls
that
want
to
play
basketball
should
have
that
access
and
I
try
to
tee
it
up
for
them
and
they
never
followed
through.
So,
if
you
know
them,
please
tell
them
to
follow
through
we'd
like
to
see
them
get
involved
and
have
a
place
where
they
can
play
their
basketball
games.
So
all
right,
yes,
ma'am.
O
I
actually
have
several
meetings
coming
up
with
several
Community
leaders
within
the
Hispanic
Community,
where
we're
going
to
be
targeting
the
actual
young
adults
who
have
a
lot
of
influence
over
the
parents,
because
they'll
be
the
mediators
between
the
government
and
their
parents.
And
hopefully
we
can
get
some
more
engagement.
That
way,
because,
besides
the
language
barrier,
there's
also
a
trust
issue,
and
so
we're
actually
going
to
do
some
brainstorming
in
the
next
two
weeks
on
how
to
engage
the
community
in
creative
ways.
O
And
one
of
them
is
to
engage
the
actual
children,
the
young
adults,
the
teenagers
and
use
them
as
as
a
way
to
bridge
that
Gap.
So
we're
working
on
it.
S
S
S
S
S
S
S
S
S
A
A
T
Hi
Dan
Slaughter
assistant
city
manager,
I,
should
recall
back
in
January
this
year.
The
staff
updated
Council
that
we
were
going
to
suspend
our
for
our
Urban
Forest
Management
program
to
just
reevaluate
our
policies
and
many
of
the
issues
that
we
encountered
at
that
time
appeared
to
be
centered
around
communication
with
the
public.
We
looked
at
our
strategic
plan
for
our
primary
guidance,
of
course,
looking
at
environmental
stewardship.
T
We
conducted
internal
discussions,
we
benchmarked
other
government
entities,
we
spoke
with
citizens
and
also
the
environmental
board
environmental
Advisory
Board,
and
you
have
a
document
attached
to
this
agenda
item
that
provides
a
high
level
policy
for
the
council
to
consider
for
review
and
feedback.
Some
of
the
items
in
the
policy.
The
city
staff,
specifically
Public
Works,
would
restart
conducting
regular
reoccurring.
Inventories
of
our
trees
broken
into
the
five
Zone
rating
trees
once
a
year.
T
There
are
about
20
000
trees,
and
this
was
a
pretty
I
thought
well
thought
out,
process
by
our
Parks
and
Recs
Department.
The
city
would
remove
trees,
rated
that
were
zero,
which
is
dead
in
decaying,
and
we
basically
followed
the
rating
system,
which
was
in
a
which
was
already
enumerated
or
described
in
our
development
code.
There
is
a
notification
process
moving
forward
that
will
require
multiple
overlapping
methods
to
contact
our
residents.
T
The
residents
or
tenants
of
an
address
would
be
notified
by
personal
contact
door,
hangers
or
phone
contact,
and
no
work
would
commence
until
at
least
48
hours.
After
all,
three
methods
have
been
attempted
until
one
is
successful.
In
addition,
there
is
also
if
there
is
a
an
active
in
neighborhood
association
within
that
particular
community.
That
notification
would
also
be
shared
with
that
neighborhood
association
as
well
through
our
neighborhoods
team.
T
The
resident
attendance
will
be
permitted
to
maintain
trees
that
are
in
the
right
of
way
in
front
of
the
residences,
much
like
they
maintain
grass
and
which
is
an
activity,
that's
allowable
in
some
of
our
neighboring
jurisdictions,
like
St
Pete.
As
long
as
those
activities
were
in
compliance
and
consistent
with
our
current
code
for
permits
for
removals
and
and
such,
and
that
would
obviously
be
activities
that
would
happen
at
their
own
risk.
T
The
city
state
staff
will
remove
trees
on
private
property
only
in
emergencies
and
in
circumstances.
When
the
tree
is
in
both
the
right-of-way
and
on
private
property,
the
staff
will
be
required
to
obtain
agreement
with
the
property
owner
or
Elevate
that
to
the
public
works
director,
so
they
can
work
through
any
of
those
nuances
to
make
sure
we're
all.
On
the
same
page,
the
city
will
begin
to
treat
replacement
program
which
we
did
not
necessarily
have.
T
We
had
one,
but
not
necessarily
I,
think
as
robust
as
we'd
like
to
make
it
moving
forward
and
which
we
will
seek
to
a
goal
to
plant
five
trees
for
every
four
that
we
remove.
These
tree
placements
will
occur,
hopefully
in
the
same
area
of
the
removal,
and
if
that
is
not
feasible,
then
we
would
do
it
in
the
same
neighborhood
or
at
the
last
resort
within
the
same
zone
of
the
tree.
T
The
tree
species
that
would
be
offered
for
replacement
will
have
very
specific
criteria
for
planting
promoting
the
philosophy
of
right
tree
right
place
and
education
initiatives
will
also
focus
on
the
proper
tree
placement.
The
proper
Tree
Care
and
also
helping
residents
understand
how
they
can
locate
their
right-of-way
property
lines
to
properly
place.
T
A
tree
staff
is
also
going
to
develop
a
program
where
a
neighborhood
association
can
enter
into
a
pact
agreement
with
the
city
to
act
as
stewards
for
the
trees
in
their
neighborhood
or
adopt
a
tree
program
and
provide
for
those
neighborhood
associations
to
earn
a
form
of
recognition
as
the
steward
of
community
trees.
We
will
certainly
come
up
with
a
very
colorful
name,
but
as
I
worked
in
collaboration
with
staff,
they
were
very
clear
that
my
skills
in
that
regard
were
very
weak.
T
T
If
we
can
do
that
within
the
budgetary
constraints
we
have,
and
if
we
can,
we
will
certainly
use
that
as
a
starting
point
for
our
tree
planning
program
and
other
feedback
included
how
we
were
going
to
address
invasive
trees,
certainly
invasive
trees
that
are
in
the
right-of-way
and
and
our
code
is
very
specific
on
which
invasive
trees
can
already
be
removed.
Without
permit.
We
would
handle
those
trees
and
but
I
think
from
the
feedback
from
the
environmental
boards.
T
They'd
like
to
see
something
a
little
bit
further
I
think
we
want
to
learn
to
walk
before
we
run
I'd
like
to
probably
address
that,
probably
in
the
next
budget
cycle
and
kind
of
evaluate
what
the
impact
would
be.
I
think
they'd
like
to
see
us
do
some
form
of
a
grant
or
outreach
program
for
residents
that
may
have
invasive
trees
in
their
home
on
their
own
private
property
and
help
address
those
as
as
well
as
within
some
other
areas
throughout
the
city.
So
we're
going
to
certainly
be
working
on
that.
E
T
More
than
happy
to
ask
for
any
feedback
or
comments
or
answer
any
questions,
I
want
to
say
thanks
to
Chuck
Lane,
who
was
the
interim
Public
Works
director.
He
did
a
lot
of
work
on
this
this
this
this
particular
project
so
did
Matt,
Anderson
who's,
certainly
a
resident
expert.
We
have
on
staff
with
parks
and
recs
and
Samantha
moulay,
who
was
helping
me
with
the
neighborhood's
engagement
and
there's
been
other
conversations
we've
had
with
members
of
the
community.
A
couple
are
here
today
as
well.
A
O
So
when
I
reviewed
this,
this
document
I
really
feel
that
you
covered
some
of
the
major
concerns
that
the
community
has
expressed
to
us
right.
O
The
way
you
inform
everyone
protecting
private
property
having
a
very
positive
impact
towards
the
future
I'm,
actually
quite
pleased
and
I,
think
that
this,
like
you
said,
walk
before
running
I,
think
you're
actually
walking
briskly,
because
you
are
hitting
all
the
major
concerns
that
were
at
least
expressed
to
me.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
then
I
have
one
quick
question.
If
you
can
kind
of,
let
me
know
clarify
what
makes
Clear
Water
eligible
to
be
described
as
a
tree.
City
USA,
Loosely,
Loosely,.
T
The
requirements
and
maybe
Matt
Anderson,
might
actually
come
up
and
have
to
speak
of
this,
but
I
believe
you
have
to
have
an
inventory.
You
have
to
do
an
annual
tree
giveaway
and
you
have
to
kind
of
have
some
certain.
You
know
codified
responsibilities
with
trees,
I,
don't
know,
Madam
am
I
missing
any.
T
A
T
I
believe
we
put
a
updated
the
website
to
indicate
that
we
were
suspended,
but
you
can
access
the
the
map
or
the
informal
information
on
the
GIS
maps.
They're
available
I
looked
at
them,
so
they
were
available.
I,
don't
know
if
they're
forward
facing,
though
right
now
are
public
facing
yeah.
J
J
C
M
I
think
the
changes
are
are
great,
but
you
said
no
action
is
going
to
be
taken
on
an
individual
tree
until
one
of
those
three
methods
of
contacting
the
homeowner
or
HOA
would
would
happen.
T
No
I
will
do
all
three
of
those,
and
then
it
won't
happen
prior
to
48
hours,
so
we'll
have
to
have
a
time
frame
in
which
we
don't
get
any
response.
We
move
forward,
but
but
we'll
do
all
three
of
those
efforts
and
then
there'll
be
a
minimum
weight
of
48
hours
until
we
get
a
response
and
then
we'll
move
forward.
Potentially
it
I'm
not
optimistic
that
the
moment
we
put
it
there
you're
going
to
have
it
immediately.
Two.
T
T
100
understand:
that's
why
the
phone
conversation
was
very
critical,
that
you
know
we.
We
still
have
to
do
business
too.
At
the
same
time,
so
we
got
to
balance
all
that
now.
Hopefully,
when
we
engage
with
like
a
neighborhood
association
that
maybe
even
the
neighborhood
station
Nation
tells
us
hey
just
so,
you
know
that
person's
on
vacation-
and
maybe
they
have
another
Avenue
to
contact
and
that
we
don't.
But
that's
the
reason
we
added
the
phone
numbers
if
I
was
just
a
door
hanger
thanks.
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
explaining
the
new
tree
policy
I
appreciate
that
you
reached
out
to
Residents
and
the
EAB
for
some
feedback
as
well.
I
have
a
question
that
kind
of
follows:
council
member
bunkers
about
the
attempts
to
contact.
So
it
says
the
notification
process
will
will
require
staff
to
one
says:
make
personal
contact
with
a
representative
of
the
adjoining
property
owner
and
then
to
place
a
door
hanger
and
three
attempt
to
contact
a
representative
of
the
adjoining
property
by
phone.
So
this
is
for
this
is
for
public
property
right.
K
Okay
and
then,
when
you
talk
about,
you
mentioned
how
you
mentioned
in
dealing
with
invasive
trees
or
species,
but
if
they're,
large
and
healthy
and
providing
shade
do
we
are
we
going
to
move
forward
with
removing
those
if
they're
classified
as
invasive,
if
they're
large,
healthy
and
providing
shade?
So
you.
T
Now
there's
certainly
ones
that
are
invasive,
that
the
State
of
Florida
has
claimed,
and
you
know
those
are
not
the
ones
I
necessarily
would
would
put
into
that
same
category,
so
the
ones
that
are
numerating
code
I
think
we
want
to
take
that's
going
to
be
your
Brazilian
peppers
and
some
of
these
ones
that
are
are
really
problematic.
T
But
no
I,
don't
believe
we'll
look
at
the
inventory,
maybe
next
year
and
see
what
we
have
in
the
actual
right-of-way
that
are
that
are
of
concern,
and
certainly
you
can
evaluate
that
moving
forward.
Okay,.
K
And
then
I
I
appreciate
this
phrase
here
that
says
the
city
of
Clearwater
Clearwater
will
address
low-hanging
branches
and
limbs
that
create
an
unsafe
condition
or
interfere
with
vehicle
travel
on
roadways
or
pedestrian
travel
on
sidewalks.
So
does
that
mean
if
someone's
Shrubbery
blocks
a
car's
view
to
turn
out
onto
the
road?
Is
the
city
going
to
come
and
trim
that
Shrubbery
private
property,
or
is
it
only
that's.
T
Probably
a
different
code
environment
when
I'm
talking
about
it's
like
low
hanging
branches
that
would
interfere
with
like
school
buses,
trucks,
cars
block,
sidewalks
from
being
able
to
pass,
and
we
would
certainly
be
within
our
our
authority
to
go
ahead
and
cut
and
trim
those
branches
for
safe
movement.
If
you're
talking
about
site
triangles,
that
may
be
something
that's
a
little
more
efficient
covered
by
code.
T
Well,
I
think
the
the
desire
to
try
to
go
ahead
and
constitute
our
planning
program
and
using
that
retroactively
to
replace
what
we
removed
in
our
right-of-way
I,
think
that
is
about
where
we
are
I
mean
I.
Think
we've
pretty
much
publicly
apologized
to
the
point
that
we're
certainly
you
know,
remorseful
I
know
some
of
the
residents
have
worked
with
risk
management
to
correct
some
of
their
some
of
those
Grievances
and
I
think
we're
moving
together
in
a
you
know,
a
positive
spirit
right
now,
so
I
don't
think
we're
losing
that
momentum.
K
It
really
isn't
that
difficult.
Not
only
does
the
over
trimming
harm,
the
tree
eventually
kills
them.
It
fills
up
with
landfill
with
unnecessary
green
fronds
and
takes
much
longer
to
decompose
than
the
brown
ones.
Reality
is.
None
of
it
should
ever
be
trimmed
because
the
dead
fronds
become
home
for
the
Florida
bat,
which
eats
mosquitoes
and
other
small
bugs,
but
I
get
why
people
don't
want
to
see
brown
fronds
and
but
anyway,
I
mean
it's
just
kind
of
so.
T
I
I
would
say
that
you
know
we're
fortunate
to
have
some
people
who
are
very
knowledgeable
in
this
space
that
are
arborists
I,
think
there
are
some
palm
trees.
Where
is
probably
very
prudent,
for
you
to
pump
for,
for
you
to
trim
them,
I
think
there's
other
ones
that
are
not
many
of
the
sable
palms
we
have
on
the
beach.
T
Those
do
those
do
not
get
trimmed,
despite
some
people
wanting
them
trimmed
for
aesthetic
reasons,
but
there
are
other
times
when
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
trim
the
Palms
to
even
to
manage
the
fruit
dropping
off
and
how
that
rotting
can
create
a
walking
Hazard,
let
alone
you
know,
odor
and
all
that
all
damage
to
the
sidewalk,
so
I
think
we're
in
a
comfortable
balance.
T
M
During
our
CRA
meeting
this
afternoon,
Kathy
Flaherty
and
Muhammad
both
got
up
to
talk
about
the
potential
development
of
Martial
wetlands
in
the
north
Greenwood
CRA
over
the
weekend,
I
read
all
of
Kathy's
emails
and
watched
the
videos
and
saw
the
photos,
and
it
is
rather
disturbing.
Do
we
have
any
information
at
all
about
what
is
happening
there?
If
anything,.
T
I
There
we
go
not
familiar
with
any
development
proposal
out
there.
There's
some
property,
that's
got
some
Upland
to
it.
That's
also
got
wetlands
and
jurisdictional
areas
that
are
Zone
commercial,
I.
Think
one
piece
of
property
is
near
a
fire
station
that
we
have
out
there.
We
look
for
a
while
with
the
Jolly
Trolley,
maybe
relocating
there.
I
That's
been
abandoned
a
long
time
ago,
so
I'll
look
into
more
whatever
specific
property
that
she
was
referring
to,
but
I
don't
know
that
anything
is
imminent
out
there,
and
certainly
the
jurisdictional
properties
that
you
have
seen
in
photos
would
not
be
able
to
be
permitted
and
Disturbed.
So
we
just
need
to
find
out
what
is
raising
the
concern
and
what
the
provide
some
response
to
that
I've
not
done
that
yet,
but
not
aware.
Gina.
J
M
You
and
I
knew
this
was
a
little
off
the
tree
trimming
program,
but
I
thought
it
would
be
a
good
chance
to
talk
about
the
urban
forest
in
in
this
case
as
well.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
I
know,
there's
there
will
be
a
lot
of
people
upset
if
there
is
this
perception
that
goes
into
action
on
disturbing
some
of
this
wetlands.
T
L
A
G
L
D
Afternoon,
mayor
and
Council
Thursday
is
our
rescheduled
first
public
hearing
required
by
the
state
of
Florida
the
trim
process
to
approve
the
operating
and
capital
Improvement
budget.
This
item
approves
this
first
item
approves
the
ordinance
to
adopt
a
millage
rate
of
5.8850
Mills
for
the
upcoming
year.
This
is
the
same
rate
as
levied
in
the
current
year
and
as
part
of
the
public
process
on
Thursday
night
I'll
have
a
presentation
to
go
through.
It
is
available
today
if
you'd
like
to
hear
it
today
as
well.
Otherwise
we
could
just
wait
until
Thursday.
L
D
D
D
Thursday
is
the
annual
public
hearing
to
approve
the
penny
for
for
Pinellas
project
list
for
fiscal
year.
2324
through
2930
city
ordinance
requires
us
to
hold
a
public
hearing
prior
to
the
annual
adoption
of
the
capital
Improvement
budget
to
discuss
the
use
of
penny
for
Pinellas
tax
and
at
any
time
there
is
a
proposed
change
to
the
plan
of
greater
than
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
proposed
fiscal
year,
23
24
Capital
Improvement
budget.
D
There
is
one
change
that
meets
this
criteria:
the
fire
engines
and
ladder
truck
replacement.
Project
funding
for
this
project
is
being
increased
by
a
total
of
one
million
843
990.
This
represents
cost
increases
for
Planned
fire
engines
throughout
the
remaining
years
of
the
plan
that
increase
total
is
443
990
dollars.
We
are
also
adding
a
ladder
truck
budgeted
at
an
estimated
1.4
million
dollars
planned
for
replacement
in
29.30,
so
that
those
two
things
is
what
total
the
increase
of
one
million
843
990
dollars
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
This
is
the
third
quarter
and
final
budget
review
for
the
fiscal
year
20
to
23
budget.
This
report
reflects
nine
months
of
activity
October
through
June
and
also
includes
all
Council
action
to
date
in
the
general
fund,
revenues
and
expenditures
are
increased
by
16
million
five
hundred
seventeen
thousand
two
hundred
and
ninety
two
dollars.
This
includes
an
allocation
of
240
000
for
the
of
general
fund
reserves
previously
approved
by
Council
for
the
city
hall
demolition
project
Council.
Earlier
this
year
in
June,
you
approved
a
new
city
hall
concept.
D
Other
general
fund
amendments
at
third
quarter
include
an
increase
which
totals
eight
hundred
thirteen
thousand
forty
three
dollars
to
police
and
fire
supplemental
pension.
This
will
bring
the
budget
in
line
with
actual
revenues
and
expenditures
planned
for
the
year,
an
increase
of
100
000
in
the
city
manager's
office
budget,
and
this
is
to
fund
Severance
payouts.
D
An
increase
of
twenty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
and
nine
dollars
in
Economic
and
Development
and
housing
for
administrative
costs
related
to
Grant
Administration.
This
is
offset
by
revenues
recognizing
a
transfer
of
Interest
earnings
from
arpa
revenue,
recovery
funds,
an
increase
of
two
hundred
nine
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
for
retirement
payouts
in
the
fire
department
and
an
increase
of
one
hundred
twenty
seven
thousand
one
hundred
ninety
dollars
in
the
non-departmental
cost
Center
for
Land
Development
costs,
and
this
is
offset
by
revenues
transferred
from
the
special
program
fund
at
third
quarter.
D
We
take
an
opportunity
to
analyze
and
adjust
revenues
in
line
with
anticipated
revenues
for
the
year
after
adjusting
for
expenditure,
increases.
Just
noted.
This
results
in
a
net
revenue
surplus
of
five
million,
seven
hundred
fifty
four
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighty
four
dollars
for
the
Year.
This
reduces
the
planned
use
of
reserves
for
the
quarter
and
results
in
an
estimated
net
total
use
of
reserves
of
10
million
two
hundred
seventy
five
thousand
three
hundred
and
six
dollars
of
fund
reserves
for
the
year
adjusted
for
all
items
in
this
report.
D
General
fund
revenues

I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
any.
K
Thank
you,
Kayleen
I
just
had
a
question
I
think
way.
Early
at
the
beginning,
you
mentioned
the
arpa
interest
funds
using
about
twenty
five
thousand
for
administrative.
Is
that
the
first
time
we've
pulled
from
arpa
interest?
Yes,
and
what's
the
balance
of
arpa
Interest
about
I
mean
I?
Don't
have
that,
but
I'll
I
can
get
that
too.
Okay,
I
thought
we
had
like
almost
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
there
yeah.
L
A
U
Okay,
just
a
little
bit
of
background
on
our
medical
plan,
we
are
self-insured
and
pay
administrative
fees
to
Cigna
to
administer
our
plan.
Then
we
pay
medical
and
Pharmacy
claims
as
they
occur.
We
have
had
a
five
percent
increase
in
claims
per
employee
per
month
for
the
past
six
plan
years
Pharmacy
is
Pharmacy.
Is
the
primary
cost
driver
with
an
increase
of
23.7
percent
from
2022
to
2023
year?
U
Our
current
cost
drivers
are
cancer,
heart
disease
and
musculoskeletal
conditions.
Musculoskeletal
conditions
are
those
related
to
bones
joints
and
connective
tissue.
The
costs
associated
with
these
conditions
drive
an
increase
in
utilization
of
Advanced
Imaging
ER
visits,
Chiropractic
visits
and
surgeries,
diabetes
and
inflammatory
diseases
are
the
highest
pharmaceutical
spend
some
common
inflammatory
diseases
are
rheumatoid
arthritis,
Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's
disease
and
Asthma.
These
conditions
have
high
costs
associated
with
the
specialty
drugs
used
to
treat
them,
causing
our
Pharmacy
spend
to
increase
higher
than
our
medical
claims.
U
U
This
leads
me
to
what
we're
doing
to
positively
positively
impact
our
employee
Wellness.
We
have
two
main
initiatives
that
we
promote
and
encourage
our
employees
to
participate
in.
They
are
motivate
me
and
omada.
Our
goal
is
to
have
100
participation
in
our
Wellness
programs,
and
we
have
a
very
engaged
well-being
coordinator
to
assist
with
promoting
our
initiatives
in
the
field.
We
also
recognize
the
investment
in
employee
Mental,
Health
Resources.
U
We
are
in
our
fourth
year
of
the
motivate
me
program,
the
program,
incentivizes
healthy
medical
lifestyle
choices
and
is
available
to
employees
and
retirees
participating
on
our
medical
plan.
Participants
can
earn
up
to
two
hundred
dollars
in
incentives
by
participating
in
Wellness
screenings
such
as
physicals
mammograms
and
colonoscopies.
Participants
can
also
earn
incentives
by
completing
a
health
assessment
and
participation
in
preventative
care
visits
in
2022,
the
employees
redeemed
over
72
thousand
dollars
in
incentives
and
year-to-date
employees
have
redeemed
over
thirty
four
thousand
incentive
dollars.
U
U
We
are
also
scoring
above
the
market
Norman
medication
adherence
these
Trends
have
remained
consistent
over
the
past
two
years.
Adherence
compliance
is
imperative
to
long-term
Health
with
chronic
conditions,
depression
and
mental
health
issues
are
also
on
the
rise,
but
we
are
also
showing
an
increase
over
the
norm,
with
compliance
and
in
adherence
in
those
areas
as
well.
U
We
initially
initiated
the
omada
program
in
2022
and
it
focuses
on
assisting
employees
that
are
at
risk
for
type
2,
diabetes
or
heart
disease.
Once
the
employee
applies
and
is
approved
for
the
program,
they
receive
a
digital
skill,
a
health
coach
that
communicates
via
the
app
and
the
employees
assigned
a
support
group
employees
can
interact
with
the
group
and
the
health
coach
and
can
earn
a
hundred
dollars
in
incentives
by
completing
16
lessons
in
a
20-week
period.
U
These
lessons
consist
of
different
topics
to
include
how
to
navigate
Cravings
with
using
mindfulness
basic
nutrition,
better
sleep
and
overcoming
overeating.
This
targeted
program
helps
employees,
stop
disease
progression,
as
chronic
conditions
are
costly
to
insurance
plans
and
as
an
update
to
this
slide,
as
of
today,
we
have
171
employees
enrolled
year-to-date.
In
our
program,
there
was
a
large
increase
with
our
August
campaign.
U
The
current
calendar
year
budget
for
renewal
is
27.1
million.
This
figure
includes
budgeted
funds,
payroll
deductions
of
employees
and
retiree
contributions
for
the
2023
plan
year
there
was
a
13.1
percent
increase.
The
city
absorbed
more
of
the
increase
than
expected
in
order
to
avoid
employees
with
dependent
coverage
feeling
the
full
13.1
percent.
U
The
2024
Plan
Renewal
calls
for
a
4.8
percent
increase
to
account
for
increased
Pharmacy
costs
and
inflationary
impacts.
The
benefits
committee
unanimously
recommended
an
8.3
percent
increase
for
employees
with
dependent
coverage.
The
8.3
increase
represents
a
70.75.5
percent
and
69
contribution
scenario
for
employees
with
plus
one
and
employee
plus
family
coverage
to
make
progress
toward
the
historical
contribution
schedule
without
giving
employees
with
dependents.
The
full
impact
of
moving
back
in
one
year
as
the
full
impact
would
have
been.
11.3
percent
increase.
U
U
Our
employees
really
enjoy
the
convenience
and
accessibility
of
the
employee
health
center
and
we
continue
to
have
high
satisfaction
ratings
from
our
employees.
This
High
satisfaction
rate
will
increase
if
the
employees
recommend
the
health
center
to
each
other
to
use
our
year-to-date
visits
are
up
in
comparison
to
last
year's
Trend.
Our
employees
are
engaged
with
the
clinic
and
with
over
70
percent
of
employees,
utilizing
the
clinic
over
a
rolling
12-month
period.
U
We
have
a
97
quality
composite
rate,
which
means
that
our
Clinic
staff
is
following
up
on
all
quality
measures
during
visits
which
include
blood
pressure
and
blood
pressure,
control,
tobacco
screening
and
follow-up,
depression,
screening
and
follow-up
and
A1C
follow-up.
We
strive
to
have
all
appointments
filled
each
day
and
our
providers
are
spending
70
percent
of
their
time
on
average,
with
patients.
Each
day
we
have
a
two
to
one
return
on
investment
and
the
annual
savings
are
realized
through
Network
replacement,
lab
replacement
and
brand
drug
avoidance
in
December
of
2022.
U
U
jet
Dental
Works
with
orange
dental
insurance

and
offers
pop-up
dental
services
to
different
locations
around
the
city
to
include
cleanings
fillings,
scalings
and
route
planning.
They
also
offer
tooth
whitening
at
a
discounted
rate.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
our
employees,
as
82
percent
of
clients
that
jet
Dental
sees
have
not
been
to
a
dentist
in
over
two
years.
50
of
Americans
have
gum
disease,
and
these
individuals
are
three
times
more
likely
to
have
a
stroke
and
two
terms
two
times
more
likely
to
have
a
heart
attack.
U
Dental
Care
also
helps
to
reduce
claims
and
improve
employee
health.
Also
in
2023,
we
partnered
with
on-spot
dermatology
on
spot
is
a
full-service
mobile,
Dermatology
practice
that
participates
in
Cigna
Network
on

Dermatology
offers

Skin

liquid
nitrogen
treatments,
Mohs

and
more
employees
can
participate
in
skin
screenings
to
earn
up
to
75
dollars
toward
their
motivate
me
incentive.
U
We
also
continue
to
partner
with
Bay
care
and
offered
mammogram
screaming
screenings
in
May
and
More
in
September
and
November,
and
we
are
also
exploring
options
to
utilize
the
space
at
the
health
center
by
researching
the
possibility
of
having
a
behavioralist
on
site
for
employees
and
also
allowing
employees
to
use
the
open
space
at
the
clinic
for
virtual
physical
therapy
in
April,
the
city
solicited
proposals
from
vendors
to
run
the
employee
health
center.
As
a
matter
of
due
diligence,
we
received
nine
competitive
proposals.
K
I
just
wanted
to
say:
well
thank
you
for
that
information.
I
go
to
the
Health
Center
I
have
zero
complaints
like
it
a
lot
but
I
appreciate
you
reducing
the
cost
even
by
one
percent
for
our
families.
Our
our
employees
with
families
are
another
I
think
that's
important
and
then
the
other
thing
I
asked
was.
K
Do
you
know
why,
of
course,
you
said
more
people
are
signed
or
taking
advantage
of
the
incentives.
Do
they
kind
of
all
fall
in
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year?
You
see
more
people,
yes,.
U
Our
Armada
program
for
the
year
at
the
cutoff
date
is
October
31st.
So
there's
there's
a
big
push,
usually
at
the
end
of
the
year,
because
everybody
wants
to
make
sure
they.
K
M
The
health
center
is
fantastic
and
I.
Don't
understand
why
any
employee
of
the
city
wouldn't
go
there,
because
it's
it's
so
different
from
the
impersonal
appointments
that
you
have
with
your
you
know,
a
clinic
and
because
of
our
health
center
I've
lost
70
pounds
this
year.
It's
amazing
so
and
they've
been.
You
know,
they've
gone
overboard
to
to
help
me
out,
including
driving
me
to
the
ER
one
time
the
doctor
said
no
I'm,
not
letting
you
go,
get
my
car
I'm
taking
you
there.
M
So
you
know
they're
they're,
absolutely
wonderful!
Thank
you.
U
This
is
a
request
to
a
proven
agreement
with
over
North
direct
for
on-site
medical
and
prescription
services
for
the
period
of
October,
1st
2023
through
September
30th
2026,
for
the
amount
not
to
exceed
5
million.
Pursuant
to
the
request
for
proposal,
22-23
on
April
7th,
the
city
issued
RFP
22-23
for
on-site
medical
and
prescription
Services,
we
received
nine
proposals
and
the
committee,
which
was
which
was
comprised
of
City
staff
from
police
fire
and
rescue
and
Human
Resources,
ranked
the
proposals
with
evernorth
ranking
the
highest
evernorth.
U
Our
current
provider
proposed
maintaining
the
current
Staffing
and
services
for
the
city.
The
alternative
proposals
that
were
received
proposed
reduced
Staffing.
For
example.
Only
one
nurse
practitioner
instead
of
a
doctor,
failed
to
provide
costs
beyond
the
first
year
or
did
not
include
the
same
Services.
The
clinic
already
offered
taking
these
items
into
consideration
ever
North
was
selected
by
the
committee
as
the
top
to
ranked
proposer.
U
That
being
said,
ever
North
direct
will
continue
to
operate
the
employee
health
center
and
provide
provide
on-site,
medical
and
prescription
drug
services
to
include
Primary,
Care
health
risk
assessments,
examinations
and
screenings,
pre-employment,
physicals
disease
management,
vaccines
and
pharmaceutical.
Dispensing
the
employee
health
center
also
promotes
Wellness
management
by
assisting
patients
gain
incentive
dollars
through
screenings
and
claims
management.
S
Mayor
council,
Eric,
candy,
Police
Department,
so
we've
been
using
the
Tritech
software
since
2007.
It
integrates
our
dispatch
and
computer
systems,
so
we
have
mapping
and
the
software
speaks
with
our
records
management
system.
This
agreement
is
a
five
percent
increase
over
last
year
and
it's
for
the
maintenance
of
the
software
and
any
troubleshooting
bug
fixes
and
things
of
that
nature
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
N
Good
afternoon,
major
neighbor
inside
from
the
police
department.
Excuse
me:
this
item
is
a
communion
item
that
was
brought
before
you
during
the
community
redevelopment
agency
meeting.
This
program
has
been
in
place
since
2008
and
the
agreement
will
be
provided
to
police
officers
through
the
tax
increment
financing
funds.
The
total
amount
of
the
agreement
is
for
249
746.46,
the
Egypt.
The
objectives
are
contained
within
the
agreement
and
have
been
updated
based
on
previous
year's
reports.
S
Mayor
council,
this
is
an
agreement
with
Tampa
Bay
Psychological
Services
we've
been
using
it
for
a
couple
years.
What's
been
noted
and
regularly
cited
over
the
last
few
years
is
that
the
suicide
rates
among
law
enforcement
are
significantly
higher
than
the
general
population,
not
to
mention
issues
with
PTSD.
Amongst
other
things,
we've
had
a
good
working
relationship
with
Tampa
Bay
psychology,
and
we
want
to
continue
that
agreement.
S
There's
an
increase
here,
because
what
we've
done
is
asked
for
a
couple
add-ons
to
the
existing
agreement,
as
well
as
extend
the
opportunity
for
individuals
to
seek
additional
treatment.
What
we've
recognized
that,
sometimes
certain
issues,
three
visits
are
not
sufficient
to
adequately
address
those
issues.
So
that's
part
of
the
cost
increase
associated
with
this
agreement.
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
M
Four
years
ago,
I
went
through
Clearwater,
Citizens,
Academy
and
then
Chief
Slaughter
told
us
all
about
this
program
here
for
mental
health
and
I
was
impressed
that
the
department
was
putting
so
much
thought
and
Care
into
that
I'm,
a
guy
and
as
a
guy
I
tend
to
say,
I'm,
okay,
I,
don't
I,
don't
need
any
help
and
that's
even
Amplified
within
the
military
and
police
forces,
so
so
I'm
glad
that
the
the
services
there
and
how
do
you
do?
S
So,
as
you
mentioned,
there's
there's
a
bit
of
a
stigma
and
law
enforcement
culture
about
seeking
help
for
items
of
this
nature-
and
you
know
the
peer
support
group
was
just
another
add-on
to
help
navigate
people
in
the
right
direction.
Sometimes
it's
just
someone
to
talk
to
after
a
traumatic
incident
and
others
it's
much
more
serious
and
they
need
assistance.

As
a
reminder,
the
current
delivery
time
on
these
units
is
approximately
two
and
a
half
years.
In
the
previous
council
meeting,
you
approved
our
agreement
with
Pinellas
County,
which
stipulated
the
current
reimbursement
was
three
hundred
thousand,
but
as
mentioned
since
there's
a
two
and
a
half
year
lag
time.
The
reimbursement
will
catch
up
to
the
cost
as
we
move
forward.
Additionally,
because
of
the
times
we're
in,
we
have
the
ability
at
any
point
to
opt
out
of
this.
If
the
cost
estimates
exceed
the
budgeted
expenditure.
V
This
item
before
you
as
well,
just
as
a
you
know,
full
trans
transparency
is
that
this
is
a
2223
item
that
we
worked
throughout
the
year
since
October
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
to
try
and
work
through
the
various
issues
that
everybody's
working
through
this
at
we
as
we
go
through
with
the
Auto
Workers
and
that
type
of
material.
A
L
R
Thank
you
caught
our
brother
trim,
Planning
and
Development.
So
this
is
voluntary.
Annexation
petition
involves
a
parcel
of
property,
totaling
0.212,
Acres,
it's
and
occupied
by
a
recently
constructed
detached
dwelling.
The
development
Review
Committee
is
proposing
that
the
0.68
Acres
of
Downing
Street
right-of-way,
not
currently
within
City
Limits,
also
be
annexed.
R
Annexation
was
requested
so
that
the
property
could
connect
to
the
city's
Sewer
Service
during
construction
and
all
applicable
impact
assessment
fees
have
been
paid
in
full
and
the
property
is
currently
receiving.
Water
and
sanitary
sewer
service
from
the
city
and
solid
waste
service
will
be
provided
upon.
Annexation.
A
W
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council
Rich
Gardner,
director
of
Public
Utilities
Murphy
pipeline
contractors.
The
item
before
you
is
a
purchase
order
with
Murphy
pipeline
contractors
for
the
trenchless
repair
and
replacement
of
water
and
sewer
Mains
using
pipe
bursting
the
pipe
bursting
technique.
This
method
significantly
reduces
the
amount
of
above
ground
open
trenching,
thereby
reducing
the
impact
of
main
replacement
on
the
residents.
W
I'm
not
used
to
having
diagrams
just
very
simply
the
contractor
pulls
a
cable
that's
attached
to
a
bursting
unit.
The
bursting
unit
has
a
cutter
that
cuts
the
existing
pipe
into
pieces,
and
then
they
pull
attached
to
that
cutter.
They
pull
a
new
pipe
in
behind
it,
so
they
don't
have
to
open
up
the
whole
Road
they'll
have
to
open
up
areas
where
they
introduce
the
pipe
and
where
they
pull
the
cable
and
then
each
building
service
line.
But
it's
much
less
impactful
on
the
residents.
W
W
K
So
this
looks
great,
so
we,
this
is
a
large
dollar
amount,
three
million
dollars,
and
so
I
was
just
wondering
if
there's
a
way,
you
know
I
I
applaud
that
we're
doing
dashboards
for
each
of
our
different
departments,
but
is
there
a
way
to
do
a
web
page
or
some
kind
of
communication
to
our
residents
about
where
these
water
main
improvements
are
happening?
So
where
does
your
three
million
dollars
go?
This
is
where
it
goes.
K
W
K
W
So
this
one
be
used
to
prepare
to
repair
brakes,
it
would
be
used
to
replace
the
whole
water
main
or
the
whole
sewer
main.
So
when
we
did
our
water
distribution
master
plan,
these
lines
were
identified
as
being
near
the
end
of
their
useful
life,
and
so
so
we're
going
to
replace
the
whole
main
we're
not
just
going
to
repair
a
break.
Okay.
K
W
It's
going
to
be
done
in
we're
going
to
do
it
in
in
feet.
Not
each
is
okay
again
we're
going
to
try
this
in
Island
Estates,
so
I,
don't
know
the
exact
footage,
but
it's
the
you
know
the
main
branch
there
in
Island
Estates
we're
going
to
try
and
the
the
price
is
about
the
same
as
if
we
opened
a
trench.
So
we're
not
saving
money,
we're
saving
impact
on
our
residents,
I'm
sure
they'll
save
some
money,
yeah.
W
We've
pulled
it's
it's
a
little
bit
similar,
but
we
didn't
break
the
pipe.
We
just
pulled
a
new
pipe.
We
drilled
a
new
hole
and
pulled
a
new
pipe
through
the
new
wall
and
abandoned
the
old
pipe
okay
in
place.
K
X
X
It
was
about
32
million
dollars,
I'm
going
to
go
through
a
similar
presentation,
as
I
did
last
year
and
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
accomplishments
that
we
did
with
that
32
million
dollars
over
the
course
of
the
year
and
I'm
going
to
request
some
budgets
for
this
coming
fiscal
year.
24.
X
X
We
then
collect
Wastewater
and
it
can
convey
it
back
to
one
of
three
wastewater
treatment
plants
from
there.
We
then
produce
reclaimed
water
and
distribute
that
to
our
customers,
and
so
today,
I
just
want
to
highlight.
What's
in
bold,
that's
all
we're
talking
about
all
this
money.
It
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money.
It
is
a
lot
of
money.
That's
just
we're
talking
about
was
the
sewer
collection
system,
nothing
else.
X
So
the
sewer
collection
system-
what's
involved
with
that,
will
hear
you
on
your
screen,
there's
a
lot
to
it.
There's
over
8
000
manholes
I
mean
you
can
read
it:
78
lift
stations
and
40
40
miles
of
Force
main,
so
there's
there's
a
lot
of
piping
out
there,
and
so
the
next
kind
of
idea
is
well.
Where
do
we
start?
How
do
we
know
what
to
do?
Where
do
we
need
to
work
on?
When
do
we
want
to
work
on
the
answer?
Isn't
Wait
Until,
It
Breaks?
X
Obviously,
that's
not
that's
not
the
preferred
preferred
option,
and
so
we
set
out
to
do
a
a
Wastewater
collection
system,
master
plan.
Mr
Gardner
just
meant
a
water
master
plan
that
was
a
different
project
for
the
portable
water
system.
This
was
just
for
the
collection
system,
and
so
what
this
is
this
looked
into.
We
worked
at
our
planning
department
or
Planning
Development
Department,
and
this
looked
at
growth
projections
over
the
years
and
this
looked
at
risk
of
the
various
types
of
failures.
Well,
what
does
that
mean
that
essentially
boils
down
to
the
likelihood
of
failure?
X
X
So
out
of
this,
one
master
plan
came
there's
two
types
of
projects
that
we
work
on.
We
work
on
those
that
increase
capacity
for
various
reasons:
population
growth,
as
I
just
mentioned,
the
majority
of
our
work.
As
you
see
highlighted
in
blue
there
that's
renewal
and
replacement.
That's
just
replacing.
What's
there
we're
an
old
city,
we've
got
a
lot
of
old
pipes
in
various
conditions.
Underground
I
want
to
highlight.
That
is
some
of
our
pipe.
That
was
a
force
made
up
in
Countryside
from
maybe
a
year
year
and
a
half
or
so
ago.
X
Not
all
of
our
pipe
looks
like
that.
Not
all
looks
like
that,
but
there
is
some,
and
so
the
idea
is
to
get
out
there
and
replace
that
pipe
before
it
breaks.
So
you
can
see
some
of
the
big
numbers
here.
You
know
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
we're
talking
about,
and
so
now
we
have
a
road
map.
Now
we
know
all
this
stuff
we've
got
to
do.
X
How
are
we
going
to
get
all
that
done
given
resources,
so
we
kind
of
thought
outside
the
box
at
the
time
we
came
up
with
a
program
is
how
we'll
referring
to
it
and
again.
This
is
just
for
the
collection
system.
We
also
have
one
for
our
water
system
and
we
have
one
forthcoming
for
some
of
our
other
systems.
X
So
again,
this
is
just
renewal
and
replacement.
You
can
see
the
gravity
Mains,
the
manholes.
We
were
just
talking
about
how
many
of
them
there
are
there's
a
bunch
of
details
on
the
bottom.
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
the
large
numbers
there's
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
money
to
be
to
be
spent,
not
money
to
be
spent,
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
needs
to
be
accomplished
which
will
require
a
lot
of
investment
on
our
behalf.
So
this
is
the
program
that
we
came
up
with.
X
It
begins
with
a
consultant
who
sits
at
the
top
there
up
at
the
Pinnacle.
There
is
the
item
number
and
the
date
of
approval
that
Council
approved
in
case.
You
want
to
go
back
and
look
at
some
of
the
information,
and
that
was
basically
we
needed
someone
to
help
us
oversee
all
this
work
that
we're
about
to
talk
about
it'd
be
great.
If
we
could
do
it
internally,
the
reality
is
we're
not
built
for
that.
X
Nor
do
I
believe
we
should
be
built
for
that,
because
this
is
this
is
sort
of
a
supplement
or
capacity,
and
so
you
can
see
on
the
right
side
there
there's
some
of
the
program
components
that
this
sort
of
engineering
consultant
helps
us
with.
You
can
see
on
the
left
side
is
the
meat
of
it
and
that's
where
the
majority
of
the
funding
is,
and
that's
what
we're
here
to
talk
about
today.
Just
this
section
right
here.
These
are
just
contractors.
X
This
is
showing
the
32
million
that
was
approved
last
year,
and
so
now
we're
going
to
work
through
a
little
bit
about
each
one
of
those
groups.
We
kind
of
look
at
those
as
different
sort
of
sections.
If
you
will,
they
could
be,
they
were
bid
separately
with
separate
line
items.
It
was
an
open
public
bid.
One
or
two
contractors
may
have
won
multiple
multiple
groups.
However,
they
could
elect
to
just
bid
one
particular
group
if
that
was
their
specialty.
X
Okay.
So
here
we
go
so
group
a
sanitary
sewer,
trenchless
reconstruction.
This
is
different
than
what
Mr
Gardner
was
talking
about
bursting
the
pipe.
This
is
actually
putting
in
a
sleeve
inside
of
an
existing
pipe.
We
have
to
clean
it
and
make
sure
it's
compatible
for
it,
and
then
you
can
see
that
nice
nice
little
cartoon
there
of
you're,
essentially
putting
in
a
pipe
within
a
within
a
pipe.
It's
very.
It
works
very
well,
it's
less
intrusive,
but
in
a
little
bit
there
you're
you're
narrowing
the
diameter
of
that
pipe.
Just
that
little
bit.
X
So
last
year
we
had
a
10
million
dollar
budget.
We
only
use
about
22.5
million.
We
haven't
did
as
much
as
we
wanted
to
the
contractor's
capacity
wasn't
quite
up
to
where
we
expected
it
to
be,
and
so
for
this
year
you
know,
while
we
work
with
a
contractor
to
get
them
all,
public
utilities
works
with
the
contractor
to
get
them
to
increase
their
capacity.
We've
just
saw
the
reality.
We
don't
think
we're
going
to
need
10
million
this
year.
X
So
we're
going
to
reduce
that
down
to
a
5
million
dollar
request
up
next
is
sewer,
cleaning
and
televising.
You
can
see
there
is
a
a
clogged
pipe
on
the
left
and
then
it's
not
clogged
anymore.
On
the
right
and
it's
it's
pretty
simple.
You
go
in
there
with
pressure
washer
if
you
will
and
they're
cleaning
it
out,
and
then
they
do
a
video
of
afterwards
to
make
sure
that
it's
that
it's
clean
and
it's
and
it's
well.
M
X
It's
clean.
This
also
helps
us
identify
defects,
so
they'll
go
through
and
they'll
scan
the
seams
and
it's
pretty
cool.
They
actually
have
a
robot
that
goes
in
there
and
it'll
turn
into
a
360
degree
spin
on
each
seam,
it'll,
look
for
water
intrusion,
it'll,
look
for
discoloration!
Those
are
signs
of
some,
sometimes
water
getting
into
the
system
and
that's
how
we
sort
of
develop
some
work
requests
to
repair
the
pipe.
Maybe
it's
a
sleeve
it.
Maybe
it's
to
install
a
new
one.
They
all
they're
all
case
specific
depending
on
location
things
of
that
nature.
X
Group
C
is
our
big
one.
Oops
I'm.
Sorry
I
didn't
finish
here.
Let
me
back
up
Group
B,
so
yeah
we
had
a
budget
of
3
million
last
year.
We
didn't
do
as
much
as
we
wanted
to
again
again
with
a
contractor,
but
this
year
we're
pretty
confident
that
we
can
at
least
bump
them
up
to
2
million
and
that's
the
request
for
this
year.
X
Group
C.
This
is
our
big
one.
The
emergency
non-emergency
repairs.
It
is
just
what
it
says:
we
have
emergencies,
we
need
support.
We
do
have
people
that
can
get
out
there
and
fix
it,
but
not
written
out
everything.
There's
certain
locations,
depths
types
of
pipes
that
were
just
we
rely
on
a
contractor
that
has
a
lot
of
experience.
Doing
that
again,
that's
the
same
picture,
but
again
well,
not
all
of
our
pipes
look
like
that,
but
but
some
of
them
they
do
and
so
last
year's
budget.
X
We
asked
for
15
million
dollars,
we've
utilized
13
of
it
already,
there's
still
some
work
in
progress
that
we
have
out
there.
You
can
see,
there's
done
about
130,
there's
probably
more
to
that
to
date,
since
we,
since
we
put
this
presentation
together,
we've
got
multiple
Crews
engaged.
We've
been
we've
been
happy
with
the
way
it's
progressing,
and
so
this
year,
we'd
like
to
request
the
same
15
million
dollars.
X
I'm
up
next
is
group
d,
clean
outs
and
Sewer
laterals
that
is
essentially
from
the
Sewer
Lateral
is
from
where
it
connects
to
the
main
pipe
that's
out
in
the
the
road
typically
to
where
it
enters
the
the
right-of-way,
where
it's
usually
where
the
clean
out
goes
and
then
from
the
clean
out
to
the
house.
Is
where
the
homeowner
they
own
that
portion,
and
so
this
particular
section
is,
is
specifically
from
the
main
in
the
street
to
the
to
the
clean
out
right
around
the
property
line.
X
Last
year
we
asked
for
a
budget
of
a
million
dollars.
We
haven't
done
that
much.
We
were
talking
with
a
contractor.
We
had.
We
tried
out
a
slightly
different
method
that
was
utilized.
We've
had
a
lot
of
success
for
it
and
we
actually
want
to
increase
that
budget
significantly.
We
have
a
lot
of
confidence
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
accomplish
this
work,
but,
as
you
can
see,
we're
asking
for
six
million
dollars
for
that
budget.
X
One
thing
I
want
to
point
out:
is
it
it
does
help
us
reduce?
What
you'll
hear
us
talking
about
is
the
infiltration
and
inflow.
That's
when
you
have
either
storm
water
that
gets
in
from
a
clean
out.
Maybe
there's
an
open,
clean
out,
and
it's
draining
someone's
yard.
Well,
it's
not
supposed
to
be
doing
that
and
also
there's
cracks
in
the
pipe
that'll.
Let
groundwater
in
that's
the
infiltration.
X
Okay
in
group
E.
This
is
manhole
Coatings,
a
man
holds
deteriorate
over
time.
We
have
a
lot
of
Old
Brick
ones,
the
mortar
seams
they
deteriorate.
Water
starts
seeping
in
which
we
don't
want,
not
to
mention
they'll,
slowly,
start
to
let
soil
Ravel
in
and
eventually
you're
going
to
have
to
replace
the
manhole,
and
you
maybe
have
to
close
down
the
street,
which
is
the
case
that
happened
outside
on
Myrtle
and
Cleveland.
You
might
see
the
fresh
Paving
job,
that's
out
there,
and
so
this
they
go
in
there
and
they
line
it.
X
X
X
As
you
can
see,
we
we
introduced
smoke
on
one
man
Hall.
We
we
may
select,
we
isolate
the
area,
we
make
sure
we're
handing
door
hangers
well
for
all
these
sections,
that
I've
been
talking
about
the
contractor,
saying
door
handle
hangers
before
they
go
to
the
work.
They
also
have
a
city
of
Clearwater
sign
that
they're
supposed
to
put
up.
Sometimes
they
forget
to.
We
have
to
remind
them
to
just
so
people
walking
around
nearby.
They
understand
it's.
It's
clear,
water,
it's
a
clear
water
project,
but
this
helps
us
identify
ini.
X
It's
a
lot
cheaper
than
we
expected.
We
get
a
lot
more
done
than
we
expected.
We
had
a
budget
of
a
million
dollars.
It
looks
like
we've
only
utilized
180
000.
Well,
they
got
a
lot
of
work
done
a
lot.
They
moved
a
lot
faster
than
we
anticipated.
In
fact,
we
have
to
make
some
changes
to
how
we
inspect
that
work,
just
to
make
sure
we
can
keep
up
with
them,
but
they've
done
miles
and
miles
of
it.
X
It's
been
great,
and
so
this
year
we're
going
to
reduce
the
the
budget,
but
we
still
want
to
ask
for
750
thousand
dollars,
and
so
in
summary
here
you
know
the
the
this
contract
that
we're
asking
you
to
authorize
today
is
for
an
additional
year.
We'll
come
back
and
do
the
same
thing
next
year
talk
about
what
we've
accomplished.
X
It
is
for
six
different
contracts
each
year,
as
is
underlined,
I
will
ask
you
to
approve
the
following
year
and
this
I
want
to
pay
attention
to
that
footnote,
where
it's
not
to
exceed
we're,
not
allowed
to
go
over
budget
and
any
unused.
Fines
will
revert
back
to
the
sanitary
sewer
budget.
X
K
Thanks,
okay,
so
thank
you.
Jeremy,
so
I
had
a
a
couple
of
questions.
K
Yep
and
so
yeah
10
million
dollars
was
the
budget
that
you
got
last
year
for
this
out
of
the
32
million
you
put
10
million
dollars
to
group
a
and,
and
you
said,
and
we
only
and
you
only
spent
2.5
million.
But
this
year,
you're
asking
for
an
additional
5
million
or.
X
K
X
Not
bump
up
the
request
bump
up
the
amount
of
work
and
so
right
below
you
authorizes
3
million
last
year
right,
the
contractor
wasn't
producing
as
much
as
we
wanted.
They
only
got
about
one
million
done
right,
but
we've
been
working
with
them.
We
feel
like
we
can
get
some
more
out
of
them,
so
we're
going
to
ask
for
2
million
instead
of
the
3
million
okay
yeah.
But
again
all
these
budgets
reset
each
year.
Okay.
So,
instead
of
asking.
K
K
So
for
Group
D,
which
is
clean
outs
and
Sewer
laterals
that
connects
to
the
main
pipe
to
this
to
the
property
line.
How
do
you
know
where
you're
going
to
start?
You
know
in
the
city
for
those
those.
X
We
just
got
done
with
a
pilot
test,
it's
a
it's
kind
of
a
unique
it's
relative
to
the
conditions
and
the
locations
and
whether
there's
you
know
trees
in
the
way
that
we
don't
want
to
have
to
interfere
with
and
things
up
to
that
nature.
But
we
do
have
that's
one
of
that.
That
program
consultant
sitting
on
top
they're
the
ones
helping
us
review
that
master
plan
that
I
spoke
about.
In
addition
to
Fielding,
you
know
feedback
from
staff
and
they
help
us.
X
They
actually
help
us
get
the
work
requests
so
there's
a
whole
process
to
this.
So
we
have
a
work
request.
Forum
that
gets
authorized
by
public
utilities.
Directors
would
then
get
a
cost
estimate
from
the
contract
or
to
the
work.
The
directors
then
have
to
authorize
that
contract.
That
estimate
I'm.
Sorry,
if
you
will,
they
then
go
out
and
do
the
work
and
we
have
the
consultant
overseeing
all
the
work
so
that
way,
they're
taking
pictures
filling
out
daily
inspection
reports
and
then
reporting
that
back
to
us
when
we
make
payment
to
the
contractor.
K
And
then
group
group
E,
the
manhole
covering
seems
pretty
good
I
mean
it
seems
fine
the
smoke
and
die
testing,
though
I
had
a
question
about
that,
because
I
know
that
you
did
some
smoke
and
die
testing
recently
on
North
Beach
after
Adalia
and
is
in
the
smoke.
The
smoke
testing
smoke
and
die.
Testing
doesn't
look
like
it's
very.
It's
not
very
much
money.
K
X
So
you
can
see
there
there
they
were,
they
moved
really
fast.
We
had
71
miles
done,
we're
looking
to
have
that
be
almost
200
over
200
miles
by
the
time
we're
done
with
this
fiscal
year,
and
so
we
I
think
we
have
a
goal
of
trying
to
get
through
the
city
faster
than
we
normally
would.
So
we
can
get
in
front
of
it,
identify
all
the
defect
areas,
and
then
we
want
to
put
this
into
a
more
routine
schedule
where
they're
just
doing
smaller
areas
every
year.
K
X
You
know
the
very
next
day
another
pipe
could
have
broke,
that
we
didn't
catch
it
with
that
smoke
and
die
test,
and
so
that's
why
we
want
to
do
it.
Maybe
when
we
want
to
have
these
folks
going
every
oh,
you
know
all
we
want
to
have
them
working
year
round,
but
it's
just
a
matter
of
how
much
we
want.
We
want
to
get
the
a
lot
accomplished
in
the
very
first
year,
so
we
can
figure
out
where
the
bad
areas
are
and
then
we
want
to
make
it
more
of
a
routine
maintenance
activity.
X
X
Think,
that's
fair
to
say:
I
mean
I,
don't
know
if
I
could
assign
a
time
limit
as
to
when
it
would
happen,
but
it
is
fair
to
say
that
we
now
know
of
what's
out
there
and
we're
now
producing
or
at
least
developing
a
plan
of
attack.
That
makes
the
most
sense
using
all
of
these
different
tools
that
we
have
in
addition
to
the
one
Mr
Gardner
just
talked
about
pipe
bursting,
which
one
makes
the
most
sense,
and
sometimes
it's
not
always
financially.

A
Y
Here
we
go
just
briefly
so
mayor
I
have
been
appointed
to
join
the
Florida
League
of
cities,
finance
and
Taxation
committee,
and
so
we
already
had
our
first
meeting
in
Orlando
excited
to
work
with
them.
There's
a
lot
of
big
topics
that
affect
city
of
Clearwater,
as
well
as
other
topics
that
affect
other
cities
on
this
year's
legislative
agenda,
everything
ranging
from
ad
valorem
exemptions
to
the
use
of
TDC
funds,
the
use
of
penny
for
Pinellas
money.
These
are
Big
topics,
so
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
to
discuss
in
the
weeks
ahead.
A
Thank
you.
Congratulations
on
being
appointed
okay,
Council
discussion,
discussion
items
council
member
to
Shara
has
Clearwater
housing,
Alliance
meetings
on
the
agenda.
O
Yes,
I
have
met
with
several
members
from
the
Clearwater
housing
Alliance
on
several
occasions
and
the
last
time
we
met
it
was
quite
a
robust
conversation
and
they
the
result
of
that
meeting,
generated
54
questions
and
nine
discussion,
discussion,
items
and
I'm
going
to
pass
them
on
to
my
fellow
council
members,
and
so
this
is
quite
labor.
O
K
O
I've
been
exploring
the
possibility
of
having
repurposed
containers
within
the
CRA
footprint
and
I
reached
a
point
where
anything
further
is
going
to
be
labor
intensive.
Regarding
the
staffing
needs,
you
know
just
to
kind
of
mention
a
couple
of
things
looking
into
the
regulatory
issues:
barriers,
the
processes
exploring
business
models,
so
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
be
needing
more
than
eight
hours
of
Staff
engagement
to
work.
This
work,
these
barriers
and
and
issues
out
before
we
proceed
and
so
I'm
going
to
need
Council
support
in
re
in
directing
the
staff.
K
Yes,
I
wanted
to.
You
know:
I'm
I'm.
K
Excited
about
the
possibilities
of
how
we're
going
to
activate
the
sound
or
take
advantage
of
our
10
days
that
we
have
contractually
to
utilize
the
stage
at
the
sound
and
that
facility
in
our
Premier
Park,
and
so
we
have
10
days
in
addition
to
July
4th
and
5th.
So
we
have
it
for
the
Fourth
of
July
and
I.
Think
it's
really
important
to
understand
that
you
know
the
contract
requires
us
to
ask
for
those
dates.
It's
hard
to
turn
to
you
too
I'm.
K
Not
you
know
to
reserve
those
dates
a
year
in
advance,
and
so
when
we
had
our
wonderful
grand
opening
at
the
end
of
June,
and
then
we
took
advantage
of,
we
had
our
fourth
fourth
and
fifth
of
July,
and
we
had
Cheap
Trick
and
some
other
events
that
took
a
couple
more
days.
K
and
and
so
I
would
like
us
to
have
a
discussion
about
what
we
envisioned
for
those
dates
and
I
really
want
to
emphasize
the
need
for
reaching
out
to
the
community
to
get
feedback
on
how
they
Envision,
using
that
stage
or
under
the
amphitheater.
Whether
or
not
we
turn
on
lights
and
have
big
sound
systems
or
pay
entertainers
or
you
know,
artists
to
come
and
engage
on.
K
The
stage
is,
you
know,
is
part
of
the
feedback
from
residents
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
do
this
sooner
rather
than
later,
because
you
know
if
we
follow
the
contract
exactly
as
written.
We
don't
have
our
dates
in
for
next
year
until
the
beginning
of
October
or
whatever,
and
so
I
know
that
Ruth
Eckerd
Hall
is
going
to
be
a
good
partner
and
they
don't
have
every
single
date
booked,
but
I
think
we
need
to
get
on
the
ball
and
get
resident
input
about
what
they'd
like
to
see
there.
K
You
know
whether
we
have
surveys
or
a
couple
of
community
meetings,
or
you
know,
Sam
reaches
out
with
the
neighborhoods
division
to
different
neighborhoods
throughout
the
the
city
for
some
feedback,
but
I.
Don't
think
it
should
be
just
left
up
to
the
five
of
us
to
make
decisions
on
what
those
uses
look
like.
A
K
K
Yeah
I
think
we
should
come
up
with
a
plan,
I
think
and
if
we're
going
to
think
about
even
you
know
graduations
you
know.
Maybe
we
have
a
day
for
a
graduation
of
maybe
Dunedin
High,
School
and
Clearwater
High
School
want
to
have
a
graduation
down
there.
I
think
we
need
to
reach
out
to
you
know
the
Pinellas,
County,
Schools
and
I
know
that
we've
got
you
know.
This
was
provided
as
far
as
different
types
of
events
or
festivals.
K
A
Z
Mayor
good
afternoon,
council
members,
art
cater
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation
I
think
you're,
referring
to
the
white
paper,
the
city
manager
sent
to
you
on
Friday,
basically
I'd
like
to
just
go
over
it
real
quickly
with
you.
The
first
part
of
that
white
paper
basically
deals
with
the
contractual
obligations
that
this
city
and
Ruth
Eckerd
Hall
have
in
terms
of
those
10
days.
Z
The
second
part
of
that
white
paper
dealt
with
the
events
that
we
have
held
in
2023,
as
well
as
some
that
we
have
already
scheduled
to
forthcoming
I
think
we
have
five
events.
We
still
have
opening
for
five
events
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
2024
with
the
events
that
we
have
there.
We
would.
We
have
added
a
Hispanic
day,
so
there's
four
events
that
are
open
for
2024..
Z
The
third
part
of
the
white
paper
base
basically
dealt
with
staff
recommendations
moving
forward
as
to
how
we
can
fill
those
days
to
the
very
best
for
the
community,
and
we
broke
that
down.
Basically
the
event
organizers
that
might
want
to
use
the
one
of
those
10
days.
They
can
apply
for
that
and
follow
the
city's
co-sponsorship
policies
that
we
already
have
in
place.
Z
The
another
thing
that
should
be
pointed
out
is
that
any
event
that's
less
than
150
people
can
utilize
the
the
area
they
just
have
to
get
a
pavilion
and
a
Park
permit
to
do
that,
and
then,
based
on
the
costs
that
we've
looked
at
of
the
events
so
far
that
we've
held
there,
we
are
recommending
that
we
basically
focus
on
the
low-cost
neighborhood
events
moving
forward.
The
priorities
would
be
these
first.
It
would
be
any
contract
that
the
council
approved.
That
would
obviously
come
first.
Z
An
example
of
that
is
the
Publix
Rock
and
Roll
Marathon
that
was
approved
by
the
council.
That
would
be
number
one.
The
second
one
would
be
any
low-cost,
City
events
that
we
thought
things
like
graduations
neighborhood
days.
Those
types
of
things
would
be
second
to
be
put
on
by
staff,
and
then
the
third
category
would
be
any
event
that
perhaps
someone
applied
for
or
they
tried
to
use
the
venue
they
wanted
to
apply
for
that
and
those
again
would
be
reviewed
every
year
and
we
would
make
a
recommendation
back
to
the
council.
Z
Lastly,
there
that
we
put
in
there,
there
were
some
questions
that
we
thought
you
might
have.
One
was
price
points:
do
you
want
them
all
free?
Do
you
want
people
to
pay
and
those
types
of
things
and
our
thought
was
to
make
them
as
as
free
as
we
could,
but
also
we
have
to
cover
the
cost
anytime.
We
use
the
venue,
as
you
saw
in
the
white
paper,
we
do
need
to
reimburse
Ruth
Eckerd
Hall
for
their
cost
of
utilizing
the
venue.
The
only
thing
that's
really
waived.
There
is
the
rental
fee
in
that
process.
Z
Z
The
parents
or
something
like
that,
but
in
any
event,
there
is
a
list
that
we
gave
you
and
then
the
budget
allocation
for
the
events
that
would
be
done
and
we
always
do
once
a
year
when
we
present
to
you
the
co-sponsorships,
and
we
would
present
it
at
that
time
as
well
as
any
budgeting
that
perhaps
the
city
would
need
if
the
city
is
putting
on
some
of
these
free
events
that
we
have
and
then
the
final
kind
of
question
that
we
have
is
that
and
to
recognize
that
those
events
we
gave
you
are
you,
okay
with
us,
holding
them
in
the
green
rather
than
in
the
venue?
Z
In
other
words,
all
those
events
we
gave
you
can
all
be
handled
in
the
park
itself.
They
don't
have
to
be
held
in
the
venue.
The
reality
of
the
venue
is
just
by
Nature
design.
It's
a
theater
and
you
all
have
all
been
to
the
concerts
there
and
it's
slope
flooring.
So
it
doesn't
lend
itself
well
to
a
lot
of
events
and
the
primary
areas.
Z
When
you
have
seats
you
for
a
graduation
or
theater
or
concert
those
types
of
things,
for
instance-
and
you
can
gather
on
the
green
when
the
chairs
are
out-
and
those
are
nice
times-
you
can
just
sit
down,
you
can
watch
a
movie
and
that
type
of
thing,
so
the
they're
limited
to
really
what
you
can
do.
The
other
thing
is,
is
it
it
takes
four
thousand
to
fill
up
that
Arena.
So
that's
a
for
a
neighborhood
event.
Z
We
hope
we
can
get
four
or
five
10,
but
it
would
have
to
be
very
selective
in
doing
that.
So
anyways,
that's
what
I
presented
in
the
white
paper
or
Joelle.
They
were
very
helpful
and
instrumental
in
putting
that
together.
So
but
I
can
answer
any
questions
from
there,
but
that's
a
process
that
we
are
recommending
as
staff.
Z
That
is
correct
and
I.
Think
Chris
can
help
me
on,
but
is
around
30.
Actually,
the
total
cost
was
much
more
than
that
because,
basically
that's
less
any
of
the
the
concert,
the
people
that
we
paid
the
entertainers
and
also
for
food
and
beverage,
so
I
think
it's
it's
around.
Thirty
thousand.
K
AA
The
vast
majority
of
the
Chris
Cook
Parks
and
Recreation,
the
vast
majority
of
the
cost,
was
in
audio
visual
and
especially
one
thing
that
we're
realizing
now
that
we
hadn't
historically
is
the
the
union
labor,
that's
part
of
the
venue
being
a
union
venue.
It
just
has
raised
the
cost
of
a
lot
of
the
labor
associated
with
running
the
audio
visual
there.
AA
So
again,
that's
that's
where
the
type
of
events
really
come
in.
If
it's
a
large
concert,
it's
going
to
need
a
lot
of
audio
visual,
we're
going
to
need
a
lot
of
Staff
which
is
going
to
raise
costs.
If
it's
a
lot
more,
the
community
type
events
we
can,
you
know,
keep
costs
low
and
be
able
to
do
events
without
charging
admission.
One,
a
couple
of
notes
from
your
initial
question
that
I'll
bring
up,
and
then
the
mayor
had
mentioned
about.
AA
Graduations
we've
been
talking
to
Pinellas
County
for
about
three
four
years
now
about
potential
of
moving
over
here
for
this
first
year,
they're,
looking
at
just
Clearwater,
High
School
moving
over
and
then
based
on
how
that
goes
in
the
first
year.
There
could
be
you
know,
more
schools
that
that
join
in
I
can
tell
you.
AA
Countryside
is
also
very
interested
in
coming,
but
that
hasn't
been
worked
out
just
yet,
but
we
are
looking
at
adding
one
additional
date
for
2024
for
high
school
graduations,
and
then
your
comment
about
the
collecting
data,
so
public
Communications
and
Samantha
as
well.
In
neighborhoods,
we
did
neighborhood
meetings
before
the
grand
opening
collected
a
lot
of
data
there,
and
also
we
did
surveying
during
the
grand
opening
week
where
we
have
collected
a
lot
of
data
that
has
has
gone
into
that
white
paper.
K
If
Clearwater
High
School
is
looking
at
it
for
this
year's
their
graduating
class
this
year
and
you're,
looking
at
maybe
adding
one
another
date
for
a
high
school
graduation
this
year,
wouldn't
you
keep
it
on
the
same
date
and
it's
just
a
morning
graduation
and
an
afternoon
not
another
day
of
our
10
days.
AA
Yeah
exactly
when
we
met
with
the
principal
Countryside
and
Clearwater
last
week
and
they're
looking
at
that
a
morning
and
an
evening
to
utilize
the
same
day
and.
K
Okay,
I,
just
you
know,
I
I,
just
think
I
would
emphasize
again
the
real
importance
to
have
residents
feel
like
they
have
input
and
what
the
our
public
dates
are
for
that
for
that
venue.
J
I
was
just
gonna
mention
the
same
thing
about
if
we're
having
graduations
it
would
be
in
the
same
weekend
or
same
day,
kind
of
thing,
because
I
think
we
talked
about
that.
Well,
at
least
a
couple
of
years
ago,
when
we
were
talking
about
events,
how
we
would
mitigate
cost
and
keep
it
you
know
together.
So
that's
all
you
answered
it.
O
My
vision
would
be
that
we
would
offer
the
staff
and
and
all
those
who
want
the
the
the
venue
as
much
flexibility
as
possible
and
I'll
give
you
some
examples
if
we're
having
a
holiday
event
and
it's
a
nutcracker,
then
that
I
would
think
would
be
on
the
stage.
But
if
we're
having
a
Junior
Olympics,
we
would
need
space.
We
wouldn't
need
you
know
for
safety.
We
want
open
space,
not
have
anything
where
the
children
can
get
hurt.
O
We
have
to
consider
time
of
year
time
of
day,
so
I
would
like
to
have
as
much
of
flexibility
for
the
staff
to
really
make
each
event
specific
so
that
it
becomes
successful
instead
of
a
cookie
cutter,
cookie
cutter
kind
of
a
deal,
so
those
are
my
two
cents
and
regarding
citizen
engagement,
I
think
that's
something
that
I've
also
very
concerned
about,
and
that's
why
I
was
always
I
have
brought
up
on
several
occasions
having
a
subcommittee
or
sub
section
of
the
parks
and
rec
just
to
have
a
formalized
voice
from
the
citizens
regarding
what
happens
in
Coachman
Park.
K
Well,
that
I
I
agree,
but
Parks
and
Rec
board
isn't
super
robust
right
now.
So
maybe
you
know
maybe
a
subcommittee
of
the
CNC
or
something
like
that
where
they
have
a
lot
more
engagement
from
throughout,
but
I
think
that's
that's
worth
consideration.
Z
O
I
actually
received
it.
It
was
a
little
bit
daunting
for
me
because
now
you're
asking
a
private
group
to
form
a
non-profit
and
then
it's
pretty
much
I
think
the
priority
would
be
to
be
fundraising
and
that's
not
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
community.
It's
not
fundraising
that
they're
interested
in
it's
actually
having
a
voice
and
a
say
on
how
it's
programmed
so
I'm,
not
quite,
although
I
really
love
the
idea,
I
just
think
it's
a
uphill
battle
to
get.
Z
Well,
this
is
not
the
initial.
The
initial
start
of
the
friends
group
would
be
similar
to
what
has
happened
at
moccasin
Lake
Park
people
that
are
interested
in
the
programming
people
that
are
interested
in
the
park
itself
and
to
see
what's
going
on.
We
did
mention
in
that
white
paper
that
eventually,
if
they
wanted
to
move
toward
that,
that
would
certainly
be
something
they
could,
but
we
were
going
to
use
our
volunteer
coordinator,
basically
to
start
that
group
be
with
that
group
meet
with
that
group.
Z
K
Q
Yes,
ma'am,
if
I
may
so
this
is
a
topic
that
I
don't
I'm,
not
quite
clear
yet
on
the
direction
in
terms
what
the
council
wants
us
to
do,
as
it
relates
to
the
types
of
events.
I,
don't
know
if
you
were
satisfied
with
staff
provided
and
it's
okay
for
us
to
move
forward
with
that,
you
know,
and
then
you
know,
the
other
outstanding
things
are
I
know
that
there
was
a
mention
by
councilmember
Beckman
to
have
some
engagement.
Q
Is
there
a
direction
from
the
council
about
something
that
they
want
us
to
do
prior
to
doing
anything
else
with
this
and
then
lastly,
council
member
tashada,
you
know
in
terms
of
mentioning
the
the
subcommittee,
so
if
I
could
you
know
we
could
put
those
things?
You
know
on
another
agenda
to
get
direction,
but
it's
certainly
something
that
we
need
further
Direction
on,
because
I
I
did
not
hear
that
today.
Y
A
A
J
I
agree:
I
think
that
what's
been
discussed
is
good.
It's
a
good
start
here
with
the
five
things
and
if
we
have
graduations
to
add
to
it,
I
think
that's
something.
We've
always
talked
about
and
I
think
a
committee
getting
started
on
that
I
mean
we
talked
about
that
since
the
Inception
of
Coachman
Park
that
we
wanted
to
have
some
kind
of
committee.
That
would
run
functions
not
only
in
the
amphitheater
but
throughout
the
park,
whether
they
be
graduation
weddings
at
you
know
in
over
in
the
lake
area,
so
I
think
getting
started
on.
K
A
Think
that's
what's
really
important,
I
think
it's
like
any
committee.
You
get
people
to
volunteer
and
then
they
pick
the
chairperson
when
they
sit
there
and
go
through
the
qualifications.
I
mean
that's
how
normal
committees
are
done
here.
I,
don't
want
it
to
be
just
one
group
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
and
not
picking
on
CNC
but
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
CNC.
Okay,
I
mean
it
needs
to
be
a
variety
of
people.
K
So
we
solicit
for
a
committee,
we
don't
have
a
set
number
of
like
12
or
15.
We
have
solicit
for
interested
individuals
who
want
to
shape
input
and
feedback
on
what
they
Envision
activation
of
Coachman
Park,
both
the
green
as
well
as
the
the
venue
under
the
amphitheater
and
do
we
have
a
timeline
like
we
want
respondents
by
the
end
of
December?
Is
that
enough
or
the
end
of
November?
K
And
anyone
can
you
know
I,
wouldn't
think
it's
an
application?
You
we're
not
going
to
turn
people
away,
who
have
an
interest
in
participating,
yeah.
A
K
K
L
I
would
like
clarification.
Is
this
a
committee
like
an
ad
hoc
committee
that
is
short,
specific
and
time
frame
or
are
you
speaking
of
an
Advisory
Board,
because
there's
two
different
things
and
I
think
if
you
already
have
an
Advisory
Board,
that's
established,
and
that
would
be
the
parks
and
rec
board,
and
this
would
be
a
perfect
example
and
perfect
opportunity
for
Council
to
actually
provide
them
direction.
To
actually
do
something.
O
So
I
agree
I,
agree
like
instead
of
Reinventing
the
wheel,
let's
use
the
one,
even
though
it
might
not
be
as
effective
as
we
want
to.
We
can
tweak
that
perhaps
ask
them
to
meet
more
often
add
members
and
make
sure
that
the
ones
that
we
appoint
or
select
are
people
that
we
know
will
be
engaged.
I
already
have
two
in
in
mind
that
I've
continuously
brought
this
up
to
me
and
I.
I
am
fully
confident
that
they
will
be
involved
and
and
will
meet
up
and
instead
of
creating
a
new
committee.
O
K
Maybe
the
parks
and
rec
can
be
the
point
committee
to
receive
feedback
and
collate
it
in
some
way
or
quantify
it
in
some
way,
and
people
can
show
up
at
those
meetings,
but
aren't
those
meetings
like
at
six
o'clock
on
a
what
you
know
it's
and
they're
only
every
other
month.
Aren't
they
if
that
or
a
quarter
once
a
quarter.
L
AB
L
O
O
K
K
AB
I
Yeah
dog
on
it,
it's
usually
listen.
Thank
you
new
paradigm
with
the
park
and
the
venue,
so
we've
really
got
two
things:
I
mean
it's.
We've
got
10
days
allocated
by
the
contract
management
agreement.
I
If
you
will-
and
you
know,
I
really
think
that
you
know
that
we
ought
to
kind
of
look
at
that,
maybe
as
organically
kind
of
re
rethinking
how
we
manage
the
park
that,
on
the
larger
venue
thing
I
mean
we
kind
of
worked
into
that
over
the
last
60
years,
with
a
a
venue
concert
series
that
you
know
that
was
kind
of
anticipated.
Now
it's
a
little
different
Paradigm.
I
We
have
10
days
allocated
the
management
agreement
with
the
park,
but
we
also
have
the
balance
of
the
park,
which
is
ours
to
you,
know
to
activate
365
days
a
year
without
regard
to
whatever
limitation
we
have
with
the
the
agreement
side.
So
I
think
two
things
I
I
would
like
to
say.
One
is
I
think
both
sides
may
be
kind
of
organically
developed
over
the
next
year
or
two
as
we
get
used
to
get
to
know
our
new
park,
but
I
think
on
the
10
event
days.
I
If
I
were
to
ask
Council
what
are
your
priorities
for
the
10
event
days?
I
know,
one
of
them
is
going
to
be
obviously
the
Fourth
of
July
right.
You
want
to
protect
something
for
the
Fourth
of
July,
there's
a
two-month
holiday
season
between
Thanksgiving
and
and
the
New
Year's.
Maybe
the
council
would
want
to
say
Lee
we'd
like
to
do
a
couple
of
major
public
events
and
invite
the
public
in
there.
Maybe
one
is
an
orchestra
concert.
Maybe
one
is
you
know
theater
or
you
know
maybe
Juneteenth.
I
We
want
to
have
a
special
event.
We
want
to
hold
that
out
for
Juneteenth
celebration,
I
think
if
those
were
some
ideas
that
over
the
next
few
weeks,
council
could
kind
of
think
about-
and
you
know
what
are
those
10
priority
days
that
we
can
settle
on
I
think
you
know,
given
that
they're
we
have
to
get
those
commitments
up
to
a
year
out
pursuant
to
the
management
agreement,
those
and
there's
only
10
of
them
that
really
doesn't
lend
itself
to
a
committee.
I
You
know
meeting
on
a
regular
basis
and
doing
that
and
we
will
quickly
run
out
of
things
to
do,
but
it
would
be
very
important
to
know
what
the
council
priority
is
for
those
10
days
and
then
we
can
staffwise
kind
of
put
the
meat
on
the
bones.
If
you
will,
the
other
part
is
the
general
activation
of
the
park,
and
that's
the
the
you
know:
the
markets,
the
festivals,
the
things
that
can
go
on
without
regard
to
our
partnership
with
Ruth
Heckard
Hall.
I
That
I
think
may
be
a
a
lot
more
important
to
us
than
we
may
think.
Right
now
we
put
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
the
venue.
I
think
the
activation
of
the
park,
the
balance
of
the
park
may
even
end
up
being
actually
a
bigger,
more
important
to
us
than
we
realize
and
on
that
count.
I
I
think
you
know
regular
input
from
our
community
and
our
citizens
would
really
be
valuable
to
us
there
and
maybe
more
productive
than
focusing
on
the
10-day
event
thing
so
I'm
the
10
days
need
to
reflect
your
priorities
and
Community
priorities.
Certainly
I'm
not
saying
suggesting
otherwise,
but
the
the
real
chance
for
public
involvement
may
be
on
the
park
activation
side
rather
than
the
venue
so
I'm
just
offering
that
For
What
It's,
Worth,
Art
I,
don't
know
if.
Z
I
certainly
agree
with
that:
I
think
that
the
VIN
you
ought
to
be
used
for
activities
that
suit
them
well
in
the
venue.
I
really
do,
and
the
graduation
is
one
we've
already
mentioned
and
other
things
that
we
can
do.
There
may
be
an
opportunity
for
us
at
some
point
in
time
to
do
a
to
partner
with
Ruth
Eckard
Hall
on
a
special
concert,
or
something
like
that.
That
might
be
one
of
the
days.
I
would
like
to
suggest
just
we've.
Z
Given
you
a
white
paper,
basically
on
our
proposal
as
far
as
putting
something
together
putting
those
10
days
together,
we've
already
gotten
input
from
the
public
we've
gotten
surveys,
we
have
those
that
we
can
do
some
more.
We
can
also
at
the
next
Parks
and
Recreation
board
meeting,
have
a
public
meeting
and
get
input
tell
them
what
were
you
know
the
community?
Z
What
we're
trying
to
gather,
but
you,
ultimately
you
know,
someone
has
to,
as
you
mentioned,
be
a
point
person
to
be
able
to
move
forward
with
this
and
again,
the
friends
of
Coachman
doesn't
have
to
be
a
fundraiser,
but
friends.
Coachmen
can
surely
help
us
give
ideas
for
what
they'd
like
to
see
in
the
park.
So
those
are
two
proposals
that
we've
placed
before
you
and
about
all
I
have
to
say.
J
You
know
I
I,
think
we
have
a
good
start
on
this
with
the
five
events
that
for
2024,
but
I
I
just
wanted
to
bring
this
up.
We've
actually
got
12
days
if
you're,
counting
Fourth
of
July
and
the
fifth
that's
outside
the
10
days.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
publicly,
so
people
know
that
we
actually
have.
You
know
we
already
considered
that
so
I
I
think
it's
a
good
plan
to
get
this
started
in
a
committee
and
start
getting
some
recommendations.
K
So
is
the
plan
to
make
this
a
task
for
the
parks
and
rec
Advisory
Board
to
solicit
public
engagement
and
feedback
about
what
they'd
like
to
see
for
big
events
under
the
sound
in
the
sound
venue?
Not
the
green
I,
City,
co-sponsored
events:
okay,
because
I'll
be
clear:
I,
don't
want
I
mean
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
it's
appropriate
to
have
little
events.
You
know
the
dog
show,
or
you
know
something
small
on
on
that
big
stage.
I
think
it's
a
better
field
to
have
those
kinds
of
things
on
the
green,
but
I
I.
K
Don't
want
to
be
presumptuous
in
that
the
public
hasn't
spent
time
envisioning
what
their
organization
or
group
or
neighborhood
or
what
they
would
like
to
see
the
city
partner
with
to
have
on
that
sound
for
our
days
and
yes,
they
would
be
nearly
free.
If
so,
that's
part
of
the
questions
would
those
be
free
events,
I
would
hope
so
or
nearly
free
event
depends.
K
K
A
K
I
Don't
I
don't
think
it
has
to
be
that
urgent,
even
over
the
next
several
weeks,
okay,
this
fall,
yeah
I,
think
you
know,
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
really
kind
of
organically
the
neighborhood
call
it.
The
Clearwater
neighborhoods
is
a
you
know.
Coalition
really,
a
lot
of
input
could
come
productive
income
from
the
the
neighborhood
Coalition
rather
than
Parks
Board.
What
do
our
neighborhoods?
What
would
they
like
to
see
us
do
to
host
them
in
our
grand
Waterfront
Park
that'd,
be
a
beautiful
place
to
get
ideas
so.
K
Like
the
end
of
November,
is
that
enough
time
art
to
if,
if
the
parks
and
rec
could
hold
like
two
meetings
by
the
end
of
November
Communications,
could
push
out
a
bunch
of
information
like
come
to
the
parks
and
rec
Advisory
board
meeting?
Let
your
voices
be
known
or
write
them
right,
or
something
like
that
or
you
could
do
a
poll
or
something
by
the
end
of
November.
Is
that
good.
Z
Z
M
I
I'm,
you
know
it's
hard
to
know
in
advance
for
a
year
what
what
you
want
to
have.
It
is
easier
to
wrap
it
around
the
holidays,
Fourth
of
July
yeah,
New,
Year's,
Eve,
there's,
probably
Ruth
Eckert-
probably
wants
to
have
a
big
act
in
there
to
make
money
on
on
a
date
like
that.
So
finding
those
specific
things
that
we
know
in
advance,
you
know
I
I,
think
it's
good
to
have
the
the
board.
M
Look
at
that
I'm
more
interested
in
activating
the
park,
as
you
talked
about
before
Mr
talked
about
like
live
theater
in
the
park,
I'd
love
to
see,
but
you
can't
do
that
on
one
night
on
the
amphitheater
stage
you
need.
You
need
to
run
that
for
a
while
and
so
theater
in
another
place
in
the
park.
I
think
would
be
great
and
a
film
series
on
an
inflatable
screen,
I
think
there's
tons
of
things
we
can
do.
Q
May
I
ask
just
one
more
question
so,
while
we're
waiting
till
November
for
the
you
know
to
get
the
ideas
and
feedback
is
the
intention
or
the
will
of
the
council,
that
we
will
pause
any
type
of
programming
in
the
park
until
we've
met
with
this
committee?
Or
is
it
okay
for
them
to
continue
to
work
forward
in
terms
of
programming
that
they
haven't?
You
know
that
might
be
going
on
right
now.
Q
K
Okay,
can
I
ask
a
question
like
who
makes
those
decisions
about?
You
know
the
ones
that
are
already.
Is
it?
Is
it
just?
You
know,
art.
Are
you
the
one
who
makes
the
decisions
about
sea
booths
Festival
day
one
day,
two
Rock
and
rolls
next
year,
all
that
stuff
and
that
the
Martin
Luther
King
Jr
parade
and
all
that
will
be
be
down
there?
That.
Z
AA
AA
Yeah
those
those
that
list,
just
specifically
for
the
okay
for
the
stage
yeah,
all
the
other
activities.
You
know
we
have
a
staff
that
that's
working
to
put
things
on.
We
get
outside
event,
producers
giving
us
applications.
We
have
the
co-sponsored
program
that
you
guys
approved
last
year,
so
we
starting
next
weekend
I
think
we
have
14
straight
active
weekends
in
downtown
and
in
Coachman
Park
movie
series
has
started,
as
you
mentioned,
vice
mayor
and
so
yeah
we
are.
AA
We
are
looking
at
having
quite
quite
a
bit
of
programming
but
strategically
to
where
we're
we're
investing
to
to
have
them,
go
out
and
and
not
more
volume,
but
with
higher
numbers
like
putting
things
out
that
we
think
are
going
to
bring
a
lot
of
people
out
rather
than
just
a
lot
of
activity
that
might
draw
a
little
little
people
and
so,
but
we're
trying
all
all
sorts
of
things.
There's
there's
it's
going
to
be
really
exciting.
I.
AA
K
For
a
future
meeting,
I'd
like
to
at
a
you
know
at
our
next
meeting,
I'd
like
to
have
maybe
our
City
attorney,
David
Margolis
give
an
overview
of
the
charter,
Review
Committee
and
its
function
and
purpose
and
timeline
and
kind
of
the
protocol
that
we
use
with
the
charter,
Review
Committee
and
their
recommendations.
K
I
mean
I,
certainly
was
taken
aback
at
you
know
what
happened
at
a
previous
work
session
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
how
that's
supposed
to
work
and
and
whether
or
not
we
want
to
take
another
look
at
some
things.
So
I
think
that's
really
important
to
get
an
understanding
of
their
purpose,
their
their
timeline
and
and
the
respectful
adherence
to
that
that
process.
