E
E
E
This
is
the
final
year
of
our
contract
with
terry
becker,
so
I
also
want
to
thank
our
auditors
for
their
advice
and
assistance.
They've
guided
us
through
implementation
of
several
new
accounting
standards,
as
well
as
changes
to
accounting
practices
when
we
converted
to
our
new
financial
management
software
two
years
ago,
their
attention
to
detail
has
improved
our
comprehensive
annual
financial
report
each
year
with
that
I'll
turn
this
over
to
john
gilberto
and
lauren
strobe
from
cherry
becker.
F
Thank
you
very
much,
I
hope
you're
all
doing
well
this
morning
and,
as
you
just
heard
monica
said,
we
have
been
your
auditor
for
the
last
five
years,
and
this
is
the
last
presentation
you
will
see
from
us
this
year,
as
you
change
auditors
for
the
next
couple
of
years,
and
hopefully
you'll
see
that
in
another
five
years
we
truly
want
to
thank
you
for
the
ability
for
the
opportunity
to
work
with
you
last
five
years.
F
We
came
array
at
the
end
of
this
five
years,
knowing
more
working
with
your
staff,
they've
done
an
excellent
job
and
are
very
highly
competent
and
we
very
much
enjoyed
working
with
them.
So
with
that
we're
going
to
go
into
our
presentation,
this
is
a
summary
of
the
timing,
the
results
and
the
nature
of
what
happened
during
the
audit
process
and
the
results
of
our
audit.
F
We
did
have
a
very
thorough
meeting
with
the
audit
committee,
so
we
thank
the
audit
committee
for
that,
their
time
and
service
and
letting
us
go
through
a
very
detailed
approach
of
our
audit.
So
this
is
kind
of
a
high
level
summary.
We
have
completed
our
audit
and
issued
our
reports
dated
march
26
2020
for
your
fiscal
year
ending
september
30th
2019.
F
That
report
covers
all
of
your
funds.
We
audit
each
fund,
so
our
opinion
covers
each
individual
fund
that
you
have
and
the
footnotes
we're
required
to
follow
a
couple
different
audit
standards,
the
first
one
being
the
gas
which
is
the
generally
accepted
auditing
standards
and
then
another
gas,
the
governmental
auditing
standards.
And
then
we
have
to
follow
the
uniform
grant
from
the
federal
government
for
federal
grants
and
chapter
10
550
rules
of
the
honor
general
for
several
different
things:
an
examination
of
local
investment
policies
and
also
for
your
state
grants.
F
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
lord
now
to
go
through
the
results
and
what
our
opinions
mean
and
what
our
ending
opinions
said.
Next
page,
please.
C
Good
morning,
so
the
summary
of
the
liberal
revolts,
with
everything
that
john
mentioned
all
the
standards
that
we
follow.
These
are
the
various
reports
that
we
issue
on
your
kafir.
So
the
first
one
is
the
audit
opinion
or
the
opinion
that
essentially
says
that
your
financial
statements
are
free
from
all
material
misstatement.
C
We
issued
an
unmodified
opinion,
which
is
the
highest
level
of
assurance
that
we,
as
your
external
auditors,
can
provide
to
you
it's
a
clean
opinion
and
it
used
to
be
called
an
unqualified
opinion.
We
also
issued
our
report
on
internal
control
over
financial
reporting
and
on
compliance.
That's
for
government
auditing
standards.
That
was
a
no
comment
letter
had
we
found
a
significant
deficiency
or
a
material
weakness.
It
would
have
been
disclosed
in
that
particular
letter.
C
We
also
issued
a
report
on
compliance
for
each
major
program
and
on
internal
control
over
compliance,
that
is,
for
the
uniform
grant
guidance
for
your
federal
grants
and
for
the
chapter
10.550
for
your
state
grants
there.
We
issued
an
unmodified
opinion
as
well
again,
that
is
the
highest
level
of
assurance
and
that's
a
clean
opinion.
C
The
auditor
general
of
the
state
of
florida
requires
us
to
issue
a
management
letter.
We
issued
a
no
comment
letter
had
there
been
something
that
we
needed
to
comment
on.
That
would
mean
that
there
was
an
issue
with
what
the
auditor
general
was
saying
that
the
city
needed
to
comply
with,
and
so
that
was
a
no
comment
or
again
a
clean
opinion.
C
John
mentioned
that
we
have
an
investment
exam
for
that.
We
issued
the
report
on
compliance
with
local
investment
policies
again
an
unmodified
or
clean
opinion,
there's
always
a
schedule
of
findings
and
question
costs,
which
some
people
find
a
little
odd,
especially
when
you
don't
have
any
findings
or
question
costs.
But
in
that
letter
we
did
disclose
that
there
were
not
other
reports,
not
included
in
the
cafe.
C
We
could
switch
to
the
very
last
slide
real
quick
if
you
are
ever
curious
as
to
what
management
has
chosen
or
any
accounting
policies
that
they
have
that
end
up
going
into
the
numbers
of
your
kafir.
All
of
those
can
be
found
in
note
1
to
the
financial
statements
we
found
everything
to
be
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
united
states
of
america
and
consistent
with
industry
practices
and
standards.
C
This
year
you
did
adopt
two
new
gatsbys
one
was
for
continuing
debt
obligations
and
the
others
was
for
disclosures
related
to
that.
All
that
these
standards
did
was
increase
disclosure
in
the
financial
statement
footnotes.
They
did
not
change
the
face
financials
or
result
in
a
restatement
as
you've
seen
in
the
last
couple
years,
like
with
pension
and
opec.
C
In
the
next
couple
of
years.
Coming
down
the
pipeline,
you
have
gatsby
84,
related
fiduciary
activities
and
87
related
to
leases,
management's,
very
active
and
looking
through
this,
and
I
know
it
for
leases.
They've
already
gone
through
quite
a
few
things,
but
those
are
some
big
changes
that
you'll
see
in
the
next
couple
years
in
your
financial
statements
in
the
previous
year
significant
or
unusual
transactions
or
presentations.
C
C
But
again
we
issued
clean
opinions
and
did
not
have
any
issues
and
on
the
very
last
slide,
if
you
have
any
questions,
we
are
pleased
to
take
them
now
and
if
not
here
is
our
contact
information,
if
you
think
of
anything
in
the
future
that
you
need
to
ask
us.
C
But
I
would
like
to
thank
management
because
they've
just
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
everything
that
we've
ever
asked
them
for
they've
been
able
to
provide
so
again
great,
auto
all
the
way
around,
and
we
we'd
love
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
Thank
you
lauren.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
congratulate
the
staff
on
a
it
really
is
an
incredibly
clean
audit
for
as
large
an
organization
as
the
city
of
clearwater
is,
and
also
for
getting
the
certificate
of
achievement
and
financial
reporting.
That
is
also
a
great
honor
to
the
city
in
the
way
that
they
do
business,
and
I
want
to
thank
cherry
beckert
howland
because
they
do
have
a
great
reputation.
I
know
the
staff
is
sorry
to
see
them
go,
but
as
policy
we
change
auditors,
we
did
go
through.
A
I
am
on
that
audit
committee,
so
we
did
go
through
an
rfp
and
have
picked
someone
which
that
will
be
disclosed
soon,
but
I
want
to
thank
john
and
lauren
for
all
their
hard
work
and
we
hope
to
see
them
down
the
road
with
that.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
council.
A
A
A
A
G
Good,
okay,
good,
okay!
Well,
I
think
the
first
question
I
had
was
why:
why
were
we
switching
out
this
auditing
firm?
But
but
I
guess,
if
it's
policy
to
switch
it
out
every
other
contract
or
something
every
five
years.
H
A
A
G
Okay
and
then
I
just
had
a
question
on
the
on
the
page
that
says,
I
think
it
was
the
second
slide
where
we're
talking
about
the
highest
level
of
her
the
opinions
about
no
comment,
and
that
meant
clean,
but
I'm
I'm
wondering
was
there,
is
there
an
option
to
put
the
wording
that
meant
on
unmodified
instead
of
no
comment
I
mean:
did
they
find
anything
at
all
or
just
nothing
significant?
F
Yeah
I'll
be
happy
to
lord
I'll
start
on
the
ones
that
have
the
internal
control.
We
do
not
opine
on
internal
control,
no
auditor
does
so
it
won't
be,
and
there
will
never
be
an
unmodified
report
or
a
modified
report
for
a
an
internal
control
type
report.
The
comments
would
be
anything
that
is
a
material
weakness
or
a
significant
deficiency,
which
is
where
your
controls
are
not
working
to
catch
an
air,
material
error
or
fraud
in
a
timely
manner.
During
the
normal
course
of
business.
F
We
did
not
note
any
of
those
during
our
audit
in
our
audit
process.
So
that's
why
it's
a
no
comment
report,
anything
below
that
level,
which
would
be
a
controlled
efficiency
which
would
be
a
deficiency
internal
controls
that
may
not
be
as
material
as
a
significant
efficiency
or
material
weakness
would
go
into
the
management
letter.
We
didn't
notify
that
we
didn't
notice
anything
this
year
that
we
had
every
report
management
letter
that
we
needed
to
go
to
you.
F
That
would
go
to
the
state
of
florida
in
the
past
every
once
in
a
while,
there
has
been
one
or
two
that
you'll
see.
I
think
two
years
ago
there
was
one,
I'm
sorry,
a
weakness
in
on
the
financial
statements
or
on
the
single
audit,
but
this
year
there
was
no
comments
that
we
noted
that
we
had
addressed
to
you
and
that's
why
we
use
the
word
no
comment
instead
of
unmodified,
because
we're
not
a
pining
on
internal
controls.
F
I
A
The
questions
or
comments
well,
john
warren
again,
thank
you
very
much.
We
appreciate
all
that
you've
done
for
us
and
we're
still
going
to
be
talking
about
that.
So.
B
K
K
One
of
the
primary
programs
they
created
to
distribute
these
funds
is
the
pinellas
cares
financial
assistance
program
for
residents
when
they
started
the
program
county
staff,
estimated
spending
upwards
of
30
million
dollars
on
rent
mortgage
and
utility
assistance
to
households
having
lost
income
due
to
the
pandemic.
This
program
is
available
to
qualifying
clearwater
residents.
K
When
the
county
started
the
program,
they
established
a
maximum
household
income
level
as
a
qualifying
criteria.
The
city's
economic
development
housing
department
stood
up
a
much
smaller
program
designed
to
complement
the
county's
program.
We
set
guidelines
that
would
allow
us
to
serve
a
small
number
of
households
whose
income
exceeded
the
county's
threshold
up
to
an
income
level
that
our
funding
source
allowed
the
county
later
eliminated
the
maximum
income
criteria.
K
So
we
put
our
program
on
pause
as
to
not
compete
with
a
program
that
was
already
serving
clearwater
residents
and
was
fully
funded.
So
now
the
playing
field
has
changed.
You're.
All
aware
that
governor
ron
desantis
line
item
vetoed
the
statewide
formula,
distribution
for
state
housing,
initiative,
partnership
program
funding
intended
for
local
governments
in
an
effort
to
somewhat
offset
that
action.
The
florida
housing
finance
corporation
is
distributing
75
million
dollars
of
federal
care's
money
through
the
ship
distribution
network
to
help
address
coven
19
impacts.
It's
called
the
coronis
coronavirus
relief
fund.
K
K
We
will
use
10
percent
of
the
funding
on
administrative
activities
and
the
remainder
of
the
funding
will
be
used
to
address
covid
19
impacts
with
the
following
activities:
rent
assistance
payments,
including
background
deposits
and
utilities,
payments,
mortgage
payments
and,
of
course,
utilities
payments,
assistance
to
homeowners
to
pay
insurance,
deductibles
housing,
re-entry
assistance
such
as
security
deposits,
temporary
storage
of
household
furnishings,
utility
deposits,
foreclosure
or
eviction
prevention,
which
we
already
provide
to
one
of
our
programs
and
homeowner
counseling,
which
we
already
provide
qualifying.
K
K
Our
recent
experience
indicates
that
the
more
typical
request
is
in
the
two
to
three
thousand
dollar
range,
so
our
best
estimate
is
that
we'll
be
able
to
serve
somewhere
around
135
residents,
we'll
we
will
process
applications
on
a
first-come,
first-served
basis
until
the
funds
are
completed
so
before
we
set
up
our
program,
so
a
clearwater
resident
would
be
eligible
for
the
county's
program
four
hours,
but
not
both.
K
Now
there
are
clearwater
residents
that
will
be
eligible
for
both
programs,
we've
coordinated
with
county
staff,
so
that
we
have
a
way
to
check
their
database
of
people
served
so
we're
not
paying
the
same
rent
payment,
for
example
as
they
they
are
paying
or
plan
to
pay
or
have
paid
we
have
to.
We
have
to
be
careful
of
duplication
of
benefits,
so
we'll
begin
taking
applications
on
august
13th.
K
On
friday
this
week
we
will
post
information
on
the
affordable
housing
webpage
at
myclearwater.com
rmu
assistance
beginning
on
august
13th
that
same
website
will
contain
a
link
to
submit
an
application
on
a
web-based
system.
We
encourage
those
needing
assistance
to
to
apply
I'll,
take
questions.
Please.
K
I
I
think
so
it's
it's
a
program
we
should
be
able
to
manage.
Ten
percent
is
really
pretty
typical
for
for
the
programs
that
we
manage
and
the
funds
that
we
manage.
So
I
think
that's,
I
think,
we're
in
pretty
good
shape
with
that
and.
A
K
K
The
state
has
given
us
a
form
that
we
will
have
an
applicant
fill
out
and
under
this
program,
that
form
should
be
adequate
to
cover
us
to
ensure
that
we're
not
duplicating
benefits,
we're
actually
going
above
the
requirements
that
are
given
to
us
by
checking
with
the
county,
to
make
sure
that
someone,
where
funding
isn't
on
their
database
of
people,
that
they've
served.

that.
Work
having
them
do
that
work
prevents
us
from
causing
any
type
of
delays
with
with
scheduling
conflicts.
A
For
mr
langell
vice
mayor.
M
Yeah,
I
find
it
unusual
that
you
have
an
estimated
cost
of
10,
350
and
74
cents.
I
mean.
Is
that
a
not
to
exceed
number
is
that
a
contract
amount,
because
it
seems,
like
you
just
say,
around
10
000
estimated
costs.
L
Well,
it's
the
engineering
estimate
that
the
that
the
contractor
provides
us.
It's
a
it's
a
lump
sum
amount,
so
we
pay
that
amount
and
there's
no
true
ups
or
anything
like
that
after
the
contract
is
over
the
project.
L
M
L
N
Yeah,
I'm
just
kind
of
wondering
you
know
in
in
the
overall
picture.
Ten
thousand
dollars
is
a
fairly
small
number.
My
question
is:
why
does
why
is
this
required
to
come
to
us?
Why?
I
know
the
city
manager
has
the
ability
to
approve
things
under
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
most
instances
a
lot
of
businesses?
N
L
Yeah
the
the
agreement,
it's
a
standard,
dot
utility
or
highway
agreement,
but
it
does
have
a
divinification
language
in
it.
That's
on
page
three,
and
so
that's
just
standard
language.
Nothing
unique
in
this
particular
situation,
but
legal
reviews
that
at
any
time
that
there's
any
type
of
language
like
that
in
there,
where
there's
whole
harmless
language
to
dot.
We
have
to
take
it
to
you
for
approval,
regardless
of
the
dollar
amount.

A

B
Approved
first
amendment
to
the
capital

funding
agreement
between
the
city
and
pinellas
county
tourist
development
council
to
extend
the
terms
of
the
agreement
to
allow
for
reimbursement

D
Good
morning,
mayor
council
members
on
october,
2nd
2017,
the
city
was
awarded
a
grant
from
the
tdc
for
1.9
million
for
renovations
to
the
countryside
sports
complex,
some
of
the
council
members
may
be
aware
and
were
present
at
the
dedication
of
the
building.
That
was
actually
this
year
in
early
march,
for
the
the
building
was
consisted
of
a
new
press
box.
Restrooms
concession
stand
and
it
was
very
well
received.
D
We've
not
been
able
to
use
a
whole
lot
of
it
yet
because
we're
not
through
with
phase
two
which
the
construction
is
underway
now,
which
is
the
removal
of
the
old
buildings
and
the
expansion
of
the
north
eastern
field,
as
well
as
some
drainage
improvements
and
the
final
lighting
improvements
to
the
stadium
field.
The
purpose
of
this
amendment
is
to
allow
the
city
to
request
reimbursement
of
the
grant
funds
in
fiscal
year
20
and
then
21,
rather
than
in
fiscal
year
18
and
19.
A
All
right,
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
partnership
with
the
tdc.
This
is
an
example
of
how
some
of
the
bed
tax
dollars
that
are
paid
by
our
tourists,
come
back
to
the
cities
and
help
our
residents
with
improved
facilities
and
also
helps
with
sports
tourism.
But
it
is
a
great
partnership,
they're
going
to
be
a
little
stretched
for
the
next
year,
because
that
bed
tax
isn't
coming
in
at
the
same
rate,
but
we
do
appreciate
them
and
you
so
consent.
D
Staff
recommends
that
this
management
agreement
with
the
sailing
center
association,
which
is
a
501
c
3
organization
organization,
to
manage
the
sailing
center,
the
city
and
the
sailing
center
association
have
been
in
a
relationship
actually
since
2002
when
they
had
an
agreement
with
the
city
to
basically
take
over
the
sailing
center.
D
The
sailing
center
provides
local
residents
with
sailing
opportunities,
classes,
boat,
rentals
and,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
like
is
they
have
a
special
needs
program
that
they
offer
for
specialties,
children
to
go
and
adults
to
learn
how
to
sail
just
a
historical
perspective.
The
city
parks
and
recreation
department
actually
constructed
the
sailing
center
in
1991.
D
and
the
city
operated
it
for
the
mariner
division
basically
was
turned
over
to
them
and
they
operated
it
for
the
next
10
years,
with
two
full-time
equivalent
employees.
That
was
it
and
basically
what
happened
was
in
2002.
The
sailing
center
association
came
along
and
said.
You
know
we
really
would
like
to
partner
with
you
and
operate
the
settling
center.
D
We
believe
we
can
add
the
programming
and
things
that
are
necessary
to
really
make
it
a
first-class
facility,
and
so
in
2002
they
began
the
operations
there
and,
as
you
can
see
from
the
attacker
or
the
some
of
the
attachments
that
you
might
have,
they
have
a
budget
now
over
half
a
million
dollars
and
half
a
million
dollars
of
revenue
they're
taking
in
when
we
gave
it
up.
The
budget
was
not
even
quite
200
000.
D
The
city
will
be
responsible
for
the
maintenance
of
the
cip
repairs.
Those
are
the
large
items
that
we
would
repair
the
buildings
and
the
structures,
and
then
the
sailing
center
is
responsible
for
all
the
day-to-day
maintenance
and
all
the
day-to-day
programming.
The
city
will
receive
a
rent
of
four
hundred,
fifty
nine
dollars
and
thirty
three
cents
or
what
I
like
to
say
is
seventeen
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
per
year.
With
that
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
G
I
just
I
had
a
question
about
some
of
the
language
in
the
document
and
you
you
kind
of
used
it
here.
When
you
you
said
it's
has
services
for
local
residents.
You
mean
all
residents
of
the
city.
Correct,
have
access
to
that.
D
I
apologize
yes,
it
is
all
it
is
loca,
it's
all
residents.
Actually
many
of
the
sailing
center
communities
are
not
on
tampa
st
p
and
again,
the
city
of
clearwater
and
also
visitors,
clearwater,
there's
an
awful
lot
of
people
that
come
and
here
for
sailing
tournaments
and
also
people
that
actually
come
to
the
hotels
on
the
beach
and
like
to
come
out
and
sail
so
you're.
You
are
correct.
I
apologize
okay.
G
No,
I
just
wanted
to
make
it
make,
make
sure
that
was
clear
and
then
do
our
clearwater
residents
get
a
discount
when
they
rent
those
little
sailing
boats
and
things
there.
You.
A
M
Mayor
yeah,
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment.
You
know
it's
a
world-class
sailing
center.
We've
got
a
lot
of
champions
that
come
out
of
that.
If,
if
people
don't
really
realize
how
big
this
program
is,
I'm
a
boater
and
when
I
go
out
on
the
weekends-
and
I
see
the
amount
of
sailboats
of
kids
are
grouped
together
and
come
out
of
there.
It's
I'm
really
proud
of
that
that
we
have
that
with
the
city
of
clearwater.
M
A
Other
questions
or
comments
yeah
to
your
to
your
statement.
Vice
mayor,
paige
and
zach
rayley,
both
were
olympians
that
came
out
of
that
facility
and
congressman
young
back
in
the
day.
Helped
us
get
that
money
for
the
accessibility
program,
and
I
think
it's
also
worth
pointing
out
that
you
know
this
is
a
city
facility
but
they're
getting
donations
every
year
in
excess
of
fifty
thousand
dollars.
And
you
know
the
clearwater
yacht
club's
been
a
wonderful
partner
in
helping
with
the
sailing
center.
B
Credify
and
confirm
a
memorandum
of
agreement
between
bob
terry
as
sheriff
of
pinellas
county
florida,
city
of
saint
petersburg
department,
police
department,
the
city
of
clearwater
police
department
and
the
city
of
pinellas
park
police
department
to
create
a
use
of
deadly
force,
investigative
task
force
and
authorize.
The
appropriate
officials
to
execute
saying
chief
slaughter.
O
Daniel
slaughter
with
the
police
department
good
morning,
council
and
mayor,
I
like
to
discuss
the
item
this
morning,
which
is
an
effort
to
increase
transparency
and
ensure
some
impartial
investigations
during
deadly
force
incidents.
The
police
department
is
requesting
the
council
ratify
and
confirm
a
random
agreement
between
the
police
department,
pinellas
county
sheriff's
department,
st
petersburg
police
department
and
the
penal
spark
police
department.
O
This
would
create
the
pinellas
county
use
of
deadly
force
investigative
task
force
under
this
agreement,
the
clearwater
police
department
and
all
the
other
party
agencies
would
supply
experienced
homicide
investigators
to
the
task
force
based
on
where
an
incident
of
deadly
force
is
used
by
a
police
officer
based
on
on
that
location.
The
lead
agency
and
the
officers
that
are
not
involved
with
the
eight
are
not
affiliated
with
the
agency
involvement.
Deadly
force
would
be
responsible
for
investigating
the
incident.
O
For
example,
if
a
pinellas
county
sheriff's
deputy
were
to
use
deadly
force
north
of
pulmerton
road,
the
clearwater
police
department
would
be
the
lead
agency
and
would
comprise
an
investigative
team
from
the
clearwater
police
department,
the
saint
petersburg
police
department
and
the
pinellas
park
police
department.
O
This
is
for
the
criminal
investigation,
there's
still
a
separate
and
bifurcated
investigations
that
are
done
by
the
office
of
the
state
attorney
and
in
the
individual
departments.
Do
their
administrative
investigation
as
well,
but
be
more
than
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
O
So
currently,
the
office
of
state
attorney
does
their
independent
investigation
and
currently
right
now
the
individual
agencies
were
doing
the
criminal
investigations
of
their
own
employees.
I
don't
have
any.
You
know
belief
that
you
know
that
I
or
any
of
the
leaders
in
pinellas
county
would
would
shirk
their
responsibility
and
we
believe
we
were
still
doing
very
complete
and
thorough
investigations
and
holding
people
accountable
when
necessary.
O
However,
we
just
don't
believe
that
that,
in
today's
day
and
age
provides
the
level
of
trans
transparency
and
impartiality
that
the
public
requests,
so
so
in
the
past,
we
would
if
a
clearwater
officer
had
used
deadly
force,
the
clearwater
criminal
investigations
division
would
do
a
criminal
investigation
on
that
particular
officer
and
that
this
new
one
will
essentially
just
create
a
new
level
of
impartiality
and
move
that,
outside
of
the
umbrella
of
my
leadership
of
the
police
department,.
A
G
Yeah,
I
have
a
few
about
this
number
one.
You
know
who
initiated
it
and
why.
O
Yeah
the
the
sheriff
had
contacted
me.
You
know
post
george
floyd
incident.
I
think,
as
I
previously
test
previously
testified
to
the
council
before
I
think,
every
responsible
leader
when
an
incident
like
that
happens,
kind
of
looks
internally
for
things
that
that
we
could,
you
know,
improve.
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
your
law
enforcement
agencies
are
pretty
progressive
in
pinellas
county
is
because
we're
always
making
these
incremental
changes
based
on
our
environment,
evolving,
and
so
the
sheriff
had
contacted
me.
O
We
had
had
a
conversation
me
him
and
chief
holloway,
we
kind
of
drafted
a
an
mou
together,
collaboratively
and
then
brought
in
the
other
chiefs
and
and
discussed
it
with
them
in
the
entire
county.
All
of
the
pinellas
county
agencies
are
supportive
of
this.
O
There
are
two
agencies
that
are
using
fdle
as
opposed
to
this
agreement,
but
I
guess
the
sheriff's,
the
one
that
dialed
the
first
number.
If
that's
your
question,.
O
O
So
to
me,
this
system
that
we
have
is
is
is
more
effective
because
I'm
not
making
that
decision.
So
not
only
are
these
teams,
investigators
that
are
recused
that
don't
have
affiliation
with
the
involved
officer,
the
the
leadership
of
the
investigation
is
the
one
that's
going
to
make
any
type
of
determination.
So
therefore
it
has
a
in
my
mind
a
higher
level
of
impartiality.
H
G
G
Okay,
and
so
I
have
a
question
I
I
did
read
it
carefully
and
have
a
number
of
questions,
so
the
composition.
So
if
we're
doing
this
to
be
proactive
and
to
be
transparent
and
accountable,
I
I
have
a
little
bit
concern
of
the
composition
of
the
task
force,
which
is
essentially,
you
know,
detectives
from
pinellas
county
sheriff's
office,
saint
pete,
police
department
in
clearwater
department
and
one
detective
from
pinellas
park,
and
so
it's
oversight
by
peers
and-
and
I
just
we
don't-
have
anyone
who's
not
affiliated
with
the
police
department.
O
I'm
not
sure
what
the
question
was.
I
guess
my
response
to
the
statement
would
be
many
of
the
investigators
for
the
department
along
florida
department,
law
enforcement
are
retired,
clearwater
are
retired,
tampa
police
officers,
so
there
is
a
community
in
law
enforcement.
That's
going
to
exist,
no
matter
what
so
I
don't
know
any.
I
think
I
think
the
the
value
I
see
to
this
is
that
it's
not
internally
controlled
by
the
the
agency
head
and
the
investigators
that
are
doing
the
investigation
are
not
affiliated
with
the
department.
I
don't
know.
O
If
there's
any
system,
I
can
provide
you
that
would
completely
100
percent
re-cue
or
or
remove
any
type
of
affiliation.
We
have
some.
You
know
task
force
agreements
with
the
florida
department
of
law
enforcement.
We
work
with
the
florida
department
of
law
enforcement.
We
have
task
force
with
the
fbi.
I
work
with.
We
work
with
the
fbi,
so
all
those
relationships,
all
those
relationships-
exist
in
the
law
enforcement
community.
So
I'm
not
sure
that
there's
going
to
be
able
to
provide
any
type
of
you
know
complete
absolving
any
type
of
relationship.
O
Unless
we
fly
people
in
from
out
of
state
on
on
some,
you
know
some
other
agency
that
we're
not
having
any
direct
contact
with
which,
from
a
time
perspective,
it
wouldn't
be
practical
either.
So
I
hopefully
you
know,
explain
that,
but
I
don't
think
I
could
any
provide
any
higher
level
of
impartiality.
G
I
think
if
we
had
some
third-party,
you
know
professionals
that
aren't
working
in
law
enforcement.
You
know,
I
don't
know
if
that
would
be.
You
know
people
from
the
you
know,
american
civil
liberties
union,
if
you
had
defense
attorneys,
if
you
had,
I
I
don't
know,
I
mean
I'd-
have
to
do
some
research
to
find
out
what
different
oversight
task
force
might
be
composed
of.
G
But
to
me
it's
just
it's
kind
of
a
you
know:
it's
it's
a
form
of
internal
self-monitoring
when
you
have
police
law
enforcement
officials
overseeing
other
law
enforcement
officials-
and
I
I
get
that
they're
not
in
this
from.
G
O
H
O
Would
not
have
the
ability
to
arrest
an
officer
the
any
of
these
independent
third
parties
would
not.
So
it
has
to
be
somebody
that
has
jurisdictional
authority
to
make
an
arrest,
and
in
this
particular
county
that's
either
any
of
the
pinellas
county
law
enforcement
agencies
through
mutual
aid
can
make
an
arrest
on
a
felony.
The
pinellas
county
sheriff's
department
has
overlapping
jurisdiction
in
clearwater,
so
they
can
make
an
arrest.
O
The
state
attorney
can
bring
charges
the
statewide
prosecutor
or
the
fdle,
and
even
the
fbi
would
be
more
in
civil
rights
violations,
not
necessarily
in
in
the
charge
of
say
you
know,
murder,
so
so
it
has
to
be
someone
with
that
authority
to
make
an
arrest,
and
I
think
what
we
provided.
You
is
probably
the
most
impartial
system
that
takes
into
account.
Somebody
has
to
be
able
to
do
the
job.
O
We
wouldn't
inject
a
third
party
group
like
that
to
a
regular
criminal
investigation,
so
we
wouldn't
do
it
on
an
officer.
So
you
know
we
wouldn't
do
that
on
on
any
other
criminal
case,
so
it
would
be.
It
is
our.
We
are
sworn
and
held
responsible
to
be
impartial,
and
I
think
you
know
the
the
investigation
itself
is
very
transparent
and
would
be
open
for
any
of
those
parties
to
review
and
critique
and
and
as
we
know
in
this
business,
they
do
okay.
H
I
think
chief
slaughter
said
it
all,
but
this
is
a
criminal
investigation,
not
a
citizen's
oversight,
which
is
something
completely
different.
So
I
think
that,
as
the
chief
said,
this
is
a
criminal
investigation
and
we
would
not
include
civilians
in
that
process.
G
Well,
and
and
there
I
do
have
some
other
questions
related
to
that
confidentiality-
I
guess,
and
so
if
we've
got
you've
got
minimum
numbers
for
members,
so
if
it
can,
but
you
can
have
additional
members
that
make
up
this
task
force,
so
one
of
my
questions
would
be
who
makes
the
final
decision
on
the
content
and
findings
and
recommendation
of
the
task
force.
G
Is
it
a
vote
of
the
majority
of
the
task
force
members
or
is
it
the
supervising
agency,
because
it
seems
like
it's,
the
head
of
the
supervising
agency
that
ultimately
makes
all
these
decisions?
The
task
force
can
recommend,
but
it's
really
one
person,
whoever
that
head
of
the
supervising
agency
is
that's
making
final
decisions
right.
O
O
I
would
in
a
case
of
a
magnet
of
this
magnitude
involving
an
officer-involved
shooting
it
would.
It
would
be
a
collaborative
with
the
leadership
in
the
investigative
team
with
the
chief
or
the
sheriff,
whoever
is
leading
the
investigation,
the
lead,
eight,
the
lead
detectives,
and
then
you
break
out
these
things
in
organizational
components
where
you
have
a
detective,
that's
responsible
for
the
crime
scene
and
they
all
would
protect,
participate
in
conversation
to
determine
whether
or
not
you
get
to
the
quantity
of
evidence.
It's
not
a
conversation
about.
O
Do
we
want
to
or
not
to
want
to
charge
people?
It's
it's
a
conversation
about
what
evidence
do
we
have
and
does
it
support
a
charge?
And
I
think
the
other
component
that
you're
missing
here
is
that
there
is
a
separate
entity,
the
office
of
the
state
attorney
bernie
mccabe's
office,
that
has
his
own
team
of
investigators.
He
does
his
own
interviews,
he
does
his
own
evaluation
of
the
evidence
and
it's
almost
a
secondary
check
and
balance
in
itself
on
that
decision-making
process.
O
O
It's
going
to
be
public
records,
so
any
any
legitimate
leader
is
not
going
to.
You
know
be
able
to
stand
before
you
very
long.
If
he's
making
arbitrary
decisions,
contrary
to
the
evidence.
G
O
So
well
in
in
these
types
of
investigation,
the
state
attorney
could
bring
charges
independently
on
their
own.
The
task
force
on
the
investigation
side
would
have
the
authority
as
well
to
bring
charges
on
their
own.
Also,
the
cost
of
the
investigative
expenses
based
on
this
agreement
are,
we
basically
all
incur
our
individual
owned
expenses.
O
The,
but
then
the
inverse
is
if
we
have
an
officer-involved
shooting
with
a
clear
water,
detector
or
clearwater
officer
in
the
past.
That
would
be
a
significant
amount
of
overtime
expense
for
us
before
that
we
would
not
have
to
incur
in
this
particular
time
because
we
would
be
recused
from
it.
So
we
don't
have
in
this
community
or
this
county.
O
A
significant
number
of
officer-involved
shootings
clearwaters
are
about
two
every
three
years,
so
it's
less
than
one
a
year
by
by
just
statistics,
so,
unfortunately,
the
exposure,
I
believe
the
cost
is
low.
G
Okay
and
and
just
to
be
clear,
the
sole
decision
to
investigate
rest
with
one
person,
the
agency
head
right.
So
it
says
the
agency
head
of
the
supervising
agency
or
their
command
staff
designee
will
respond
to
the
task
force,
the
sole
decision,
whether
an
incident
meets
the
criteria
to
activate
the
task
force
and
have
it
conduct
an
investigation
rest
with
the
agency
head
or
designee
of
the
employing
agency.
G
G
Okay,
can
you
explain
there's
a
statement
about
the
supervising
agency
duties
that
they're
responsible
for
sending
its
detectives
and
supervisory
personnel
to
the
scene
of
the
crime
upon
notification
that
this
task
force
is
going
to
be
activated?
O
Both
I
mean
generally
when
you
investigate
a
major
crime.
You
do
start
at
the
crime
scene
and
you
would
meet
your
team
of
detectives.
There
you'd
get
a
briefing
on
what
the
facts
are
at
the
known
particular
time
and
assignments
would
be
made
from
there
after
the
briefing
whether
it
would
be
to
work
the
crime
scene,
whether
it
was
to
deal
with
the
individual
witnesses,
conduct
a
canvas,
take
the
suspect
or
officer
involved
and
deal
with
that
interview.
G
But,
but
not
like,
if
we're
looking
at
the
george
floyd
incident,
they
wouldn't
you
know
so.
We've
got
this
horrific
incident
that
happened
and
then
somebody
notifies
the
task
force
lead
a
lead
person
that
says:
hey,
there's
been
this
incident.
You
know
downtown
here
where
there
seems
to
be.
You
know
there
was
a
murder
or
a
death,
and-
and
we
need
to
have
an
investigation
I
mean.
Can
you
walk
me
through
like
how
this
task
force
would
work
in
something
like
that,
like
like
the
george
floyd
incident,.
O
Well,
I,
the
only
thing
that's
different
is
the
impartiality
component
that
we
are
injecting
with
this
group
other
than
that
it's
a
murder,
death
investigation,
it's
no
different
than
any
other
death
investigation.
We
do
and
we
would
start
at
the
crime
scene
generally.
There
are
certain
circumstances
where
that
may
not
always
happen.
O
The
decedent's
body
is
transferred
to
the
hospital
and
you
send
detectives
to
the
hospital
instead
they're
all
a
little
bit
unique
based
on
the
circumstances,
but
in
a
in
an
officer-involved
incidence
and
likelihood
it's
going
to
be.
You
know
a
deadly
force
involving
probably
a
firearm
or
some
kind
of
physical
confrontation.
O
There's
generally
going
to
be
a
scene
that
you
would
meet
with
your
detectives.
It
doesn't
mean
that
the
lead
agency
could
say
you
know
what
we're
going
to
have
a
briefing
at
the
clearwater
main
station,
where
the
officer
involved
is
because
the
body's
down
here
and
there's
no
scene
or
something
that
there's
many
many
circumstances
that
could
occur.
O
O
Obviously
identifying
the
officers
involved,
not
just
leave
the
officers,
the
the
four
that
were,
you
know
named
very,
very
prominently,
but
the
any
other
officers
that
came
to
the
scene
afterwards,
what
they
heard
what
they
saw,
there's
just
just
a
million
things
to
do,
and
you
would
you
know.
The
first
goal,
of
course,
is
to
secure
that
scene
in
itself
and
start
aligning
up
the
forensics
processing.
That
would
need
to
be
done.
The
forensic
needs
are
going
to
be
different,
based
on
whatever,
whatever
the
circumstances
are
with
the
case.
G
O
They
would
they
would
end
up.
You
know
you
would
they
would
secure
the
my
officers
if
it
hadn't
been
clear
water,
the
our
officers
are
going
to
have
to
just
from
a
logistics
standpoint.
They
are
going
to
have
to
be
the
ones
that
secure
the
scene,
but
there
will
be
a
detective
there
out
from
outside
the
agency
that
will
work
with
forensic
processing.
That
is
not
clearwater
employees
as
well,
and
they
will
maintain
the
integrity
of
the
scene
so
yeah
I
I
I
don't
know
what
what
more
I
could
answer
on
that.
I'm.
G
O
The
investigation
is
no
different
than
any
other
criminal
investigation.
We're
getting,
I
think,
lost
that
this
is
an
officer
involved.
It's
a
murder,
death
investigation.
It
doesn't
matter
that
they're
an
officer
it
doesn't
matter
if
it's
assistant,
all
of
the
public
records
laws,
exist
the
same
for
the
officer
as
they
do
for
a
citizen.
It's
it's
no
different.
G
Okay,
okay,
I
I
guess
that's
that's
it.
I
just
yeah.
I
I
think
it's
great
to
be
proactive.
I
think
it's
clear
to.
I
think
it's
important
to
be
clear
about
the
costs
involved.
But
for
me
I
you
know.
One
of
the
concerns
is
the
oversight
that
that
I
I
worry
about,
oversight
that
doesn't
have
more
impartial
third
party
involved,
but.
O
M
Steve
slaughter,
I
just
want
to
say,
listen,
I
I
think
it's
great
that
you
are
proactive
on
this
and
we
have
a
great
area.
We've
got
great
sheriff's
department
and
for
this
particular
thing,
which
I
think
was
different
than
what
we
had
discussed
before,
I'm
glad
that
everybody
got
together
and
put
this
together
without
having
a
you
know,
an
outcry
that
we
need
to
do
it.
I
think
it's
a
great
way
that
we.
I
I
understand
council
of
women
council
member
beckman's
concerns.
Those
were
things
that
should
have
been
part
of
the
citizens
overview
oversight
committee,
which
we
already
discussed,
but
they
are
are
concerns
that
I
think
the
general
public
has.
I
understand
what
this
this
union
is
between
the
different
police
departments
and
the
sheriff's
office,
and
I
think
it's
a
very,
very
good,
proactive
move
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
you
folks
went.
A
N
Hamilton,
I
guess
I'm
obligated
to
weigh
in
no,
I
think,
the
I
think
the
agreement
here
to
have
the
the
various
agencies
involved.
It
does
give
an
independent
look
to
it.
It
gives
an
outside
look.
You
know,
yeah,
there's
a
thing
when
you
go
to
court,
your
your
judge,
if
you
have
a
jury
trial,
it's
a
jury
of
your
peers
yeah,
but
this
is
a
police
investigation.
N
Investigations
are
private,
the
information
is
private
until
the
investigation
is
totally
complete
and
I
think
you
want
professionals
in
the
in
the
in
that
area
of
expertise
are
the
parties
you
want
involved
in
it
once
the
investigation
is
over,
then
it
you
know
anybody
can
dissect
it
and
do
whatever
they
want
to
it.
But
I
think
you
need
law
enforcement
to
handle
this.
The
area,
the
specific
area
that
this
task
force
is,
is
charged
to
do.
J
A
Well,
I
think
it's
a
good,
proactive
step.
I
see
that
you
know
you
do
have
independent
departments
that
are
doing
the
investigation.
I
am
not
a
conspiratorialist,
so
I
don't
believe
that
there
is
any.
You
know
agreement
between
our
different
police
forces
to
go
lightly
on
an
investigation.
I
think
they're
going
to
do
their
duty
and
do
it
in
a
way,
that's
very
honorable,
complete
and
something
that
the
citizens
of
all
of
pinellas
county
can
be
assured.
A
That's
going
to
be
correct
and
if,
for
some
reason
it
isn't,
as
has
already
been
said
several
times,
you
have
the
state's
attorney.
That
is
also
looking
into
the
entire
process,
so
I'm
comfortable
with
this,
but
I
don't
know
that
I'm
hearing
consensus
council
member
beckman
do
you
support
this
or
not.
G
I
think
I
you
know.
Procedurally,
I
don't
know
if
we
could
well,
I
guess,
even
if
we
consent
to
this,
the
public
can
still
weigh
in
on
thursday,
correct.
A
Somebody
can
always
come
and
ask
for
an
item
to
be
taken
off
of
consent
right
the
next
item,
even
if
we
have
consensus,
I
am
asking
not
to
put
on
consent,
because
I
want
to
leave
it
open.
As
far
as
I'm
concerned,
I
support
6.1,
but
absolutely
if
you
want
to
keep
it
off
consent.
That
certainly,
is
your
prerogative.
B
I
understand
the
concerns
expressed
by
council
member
beckman,
but
you
know
an
underlying
aspect
of
this
is
trust,
and
I
have
I
have
seen
our
law
enforcement
leadership
time
and
time
again
reinforce
the
fact
that
they
are
professional
and
that
they
can
be
trusted
to
follow
the
law.
So
when
they're
making
assessments,
that
is,
that
is
the
context
of
how
they
go
about
administrating
law
enforcement
in
their
agencies
and
this
county.
B
B
Over
the
shoulder,
because
we
kind
of
made
it-
maybe
not
really
believe
that
we
can
trust,
because
that
third
party
isn't
there-
I,
I
think
it
does
kind
of
create
a
level
of
concern,
at
least
on
my
part,
regarding
you
know
how
our
law
enforcement
community
can.
Who
has
the
expertise
who,
who
can
do
their
work,
with
the
understanding
that
that
there
is
least
a
basic
level
of
trust
that
exists
among
among
their
their
elected
officials.
So
I
just
have
to
say
that
I
and
I
understand
the
time
to
live
in.
B
I
understand
the
questioning
I
understand
what's
happening
in
some
of
the
communities
across
the
country.
You
know
that
that
have
that
have
had
struggles.
I
don't
think
that's
necessarily
an
issue
with
us
here
at
pinellas,
county
or
and
more
particularly
the
city
of
clearwater,
we've
been
very
transparent
and-
and
I
think
we're
all
committed
to
that.
G
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
have
I
for
the
record.
I
have
trust
in
our
police.
I
have
had
zero
confrontations
or
evidence
or
interactions
with
the
police.
That
would
cause
me
to
question
their
ethics
or
their
behavior.
None,
and
I
have
heard
virtually
no
reports
of
anything
that
I
zero
reports
of
anything
that
I
think
rises
to
any
level
of
serious
concern,
but
that's
just
me
that
it
has
not
affected
me.
I
haven't
been
here
that
long.
I
you
know
I
I
am
not.
I
don't
live
in
multiple.
G
You
know
I
haven't
lived
in
multiple
neighborhoods
in
our
city,
and
so
I'm
just
approaching
this
as
a
you
know,
as
a
third
person
as
a
third
party
outside
of
this
task
force,
and
just
saying
you
know
how,
in
in
the
vein
of
transparency
and
accountability,
is
you
know,
is
there
a
a
voice?
That's
not
so
intimately
involved
as
part
of
the
review
process.
That's
all
you
know.
I've
been
part,
I'm
I'm
a
teacher.
I've
been
part
of
I'm
part
of
the
teachers
union.
G
I
know
about
a
grievance
committee
and
you've
got
that
self-policing
and
there
is
that
aspect
of
you
know
you
you
account
for
each
other
and
and
sometimes
if
there's
anyway,
I'm
not
going
to
berate
it.
But
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
that
I
I
do
have
confidence
in
our
our
police
force,
but
I
also
believe
in
some
policies
with
just
a
little
bit
of
you
know
some
objective
eyes
outside
eyes.
That's
all.
A
So
to
me,
this
is
an
improvement,
something
that
is
substantial,
that
the
citizens
need
to
be
aware
of,
and
I
do
appreciate
chief
the
fact
that
you
all
proactively
did
this
so
otherwise
we'd
just
all
be
going
along
our
merry
way
and
not
questioning
anything
so
we're
having
this
discussion
so
member
beckman.
Do
you
want
this
to
stay
off
consent.
B
In
accordance
with
florida
code
of
ordinance
instruction,
2.5641
b.
Other
government
entities
did
increase
the
number
of
full-time
equivalents
within
the
police
department
by
one
position
and
upgrade
one
officer
position
to
police
sergeant
and
authorize
the
appropriate
officials
to
execute,
say:
deputy
chief
candy.
O
B
O
Thank
you
so,
early
in
early
in
2019,
we,
the
police
department,
did
a
request
for
proposal
number
2918
for
digital
evidence
management
system
based
on
the
proposals
the
in
about
that
were
evaluated.
The
axon
enterprise
company
was
selected
as
their
preferred
vendor
and
the
award
was
confirmed
by
city
council
in
february
of
2019
and
that
agreement
provided
digital
evidence
management
solution,
but
also
supplied
a
common
platform
for
many
of
our
digital
mediums.
O
O
In
april
of
2019,
the
council
allowed
the
police
department
to
incorporate
the
interview,
room
cameras
and
the
dui
cameras,
and
even
some
mobile
video
and
cruisers,
with
dax
on
as
well
to
to
further
kind
of
promote
that
singular
platform.
O
On
july,
20
or
july,
16
of
this
year,
city
council
requested
us
to
develop
a
proposal
for
a
body-worn
camera
program
for
discussion
purposes
and
through
that
discussion,
or
through
that
proposal,
the
police
department
recommends
the
the
product
of
axon,
be
the
the
body
camera
program
which
also
seamlessly
integrates
with
the
digital
evidence
management
system.
O
The
agreement
frontier
includes
200
axon
body,
3
cameras,
25,
docking,
bays,
the
storage
and
the
licensing
for
the
software
and
training
to
fulfill
the
council
directive,
the
camera
or
the
hardware
and
the
purchasing
prices
were
established
through
the
national
purchasing
partners,
contract,
a
national
resource
for
public
entities
for
similar
public
solicitations
and
which
the
city
of
clearwater
is
a
participating
member.
This
is
kind
of
a
five-year
agreement
that
involves
incorporating
previous
digital
evidence,
management
agreements
and
kind
of
putting
them
all
into
a
singular
package
it.
O
So
it
includes
not
only
the
cost
of
the
body
cameras,
but
the
the
cost
of
the
support
as
well.
The
cost
of
the
initial
year
of
the
body
worn
camera
program
is
566
957,
with
an
annual
reoccurring
cost.
In
years,
two,
through
five
of
approximately
four
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
six
hundred
and
thirteen
dollars,
the
police
department
simultaneously
requested
her
to
add
a
a
senior
police
records
clerk
fte
and
to
upgrade
a
police
officer
position
to
a
police
sergeant
position
to
manage
the
body
camera
program.
O
This
has
an
expense
of
nine
hundred
68
dollars,
which
the
total,
therefore
not
including
the
the
cost
of
uniform
modifications,
would
be
five
hundred.
Ninety
thousand
four
hundred
sixty
three
dollars
the
funding
mechanisms
for
these,
as
previously
discussed
at
the
special
project
or
special
budget
workshop,
includes
175
000
from
the
special
program
of
federal
forfeiture
fund.
O
It
also
uses
a
blend
of
general
fund
and
general
fund
reserves
for
the
remainder
415
157,
and
some
of
the
funding
was
already
in
our
program.
So
when
I
the
reason
I
lay
all
that
out
there
is,
we
already
had
some
digital
management
contracts
that
has,
since
kind
of
they'll,
be
upgraded
to
facilitate
this
program.
So
therefore,
some
of
the
funding
is
already
in
our
operational
budget
and
so
you'll
see
a
little
bit
of
an
offset
in
that
cost
there.
So
I'm
more
than
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions.
O
M
I'm
sorry
no
problem
under
the
the
list
of
you.
Have
the
list
amount
you
got
a
discount
of
almost
700
000.
Is
that
because
we,
I
know
that
you
applied
before
for
this,
we
got
a
discount
that
probably
would
go
up
in
later
months.
O
O
About
how
david,
maybe
david,
come
up
and
discuss
this,
I
believe
this
is
just
from
consolidating
all
the
other
contracts
together
and
then,
of
course,
by
kind
of
having
this
singular
vendor
relationship
and
platform.
I
believe
they
gave
us
price
adjustments
so.
O
Yeah,
so
by
having
the
the
taser
platform,
the
the
digital
edit
management
system,
the
the
cameras,
the
the
interview
room,
videos,
those
are
kind
of
package
discounts.
Okay,
so
the
way
we
jokingly
refer
to
it,
it's
like
buying
your
cable
bill
and
getting
the
bundle.
M
O
A
I
think
this
is
a
big
decision.
Obviously,
we've
talked
about
it
at
length
at
the
last
council
meeting
and
also
at
the
special
budget
workshop,
but
I
would
just
soon
sorry
to
bring
you
back
in
chief
on
thursday,
but
I
just
soon
leave
this
one
off
consent.
Everyone
all
right
with
that.
Q
Good
morning,
mayor
council
members,
my
name
is:
sarah
kessler
lead
environmental
specialist
in
the
engineering
department.
Let
me
just
give
you
a
quick
recap
of
the
coopersplay
project,
since
several
of
you
were
not
here
when
it
began,
the
city
completed
the
master
plan
in
2017
with
the
goal
of
improving
water
quality,
wildlife,
utilization
and
recreation
opportunities.
In
the
coopers
point
area,
the
master
plan
came
up
with
several
great
options
and
a
circulation
study
was
completed
to
determine
more
specifics.
Q
This
supplemental
work
order
covers
additional
survey,
work
needed
for
design
and
permitting
the
actual
project
includes
dredging
of
cooper's
bayou
improve
a
few
specific
mosquito
ditches
on
cooper's
point,
including
the
one
under
patel
boulevard,
creating
an
additional
cut
in
the
peninsula
at
the
narrowest
point
and
creating
a
cut
in
the
courtney
campbell
causeway,
similar
to
the
one
on
the
eastern
side,
near
ben
t,
davis
beach.
All
these
improvements,
all
these
will
improve
water
quality
and
circulation
and
help
with
habitat
utilization
as
well.
Q
The
project
also
includes
hiking
trails,
boardwalks
observation
platforms,
towers
and
improvements
to
the
canoe
and
kayak
launch
at
cooper's
bayou
park.
Again,
this
supplemental
work
order
is
just
for
some
additional
survey
work
to
help
with
permitting
do
you
have
any
questions.
J
N
The
the
cut
you
say
we're
going
to
make
a
cut
at
the
north
at
the
most
narrow
point
in
in
cooper's
bayou
and
then
another
redo
on
courtney,
campbell's,
similar
to
what
they
did
over
by
ben
t
davis.
Does
that
that
portion
of
it
is
a
dot
project?
Is
it
not
or.
Q
We
have
talked
to
dot
and
they
are
comfortable
with
us
managing
the
construction
project
on
state
road
60..
We
have
not
talked
about
the
specifics
and
have
an
interagency
agreement
yet
like
we
have
not
worked
on
that
part
of
it,
and
it
will
be
a
very
extensive
agreement.
I
have
no
doubt,
but
we
they
were
comfortable
with
us
doing
construction
at
this
point
in
time.
I
Q
So
they're
they're
not
actually
named
after
the
mosquito
insect
they're
named
after
the
mosquito
fish,
and
so
they
were
dug
in
the
40s
50s
60s
in
mangrove
areas.
And
if
you
look
at
an
area
of
a
mangrove
you'll,
see
kind
of
grid,
a
grid
area
and
those
are
where
those
mosquito
ditches
are,
and
it
was
to
help
those
mosquito
fish
get
back
into
the
mangroves
and
control
some
of
the
other
insect
populations,
control
mosquitoes
as
well,
but
to
be
able
to
get
mosquito
fish
in
those
in
those
areas.
A
M
I'm
sorry
well
I
just
I
had
a
comment.
Yes,
I
was
on
the
courtney
campbell
board
when
they
did
the
other
one
further
east
by
ben
t,
and
that
that
really
clears
up
the
stagnant
water.
On
the
other
side,
it
really
did
a
great
job
of
cleaning
it
up.
So
we
look
forward
to
seeing
it
doing
the
same
thing
here,
because
I
know
it's
been
an
issue
for
a
long
time.
M
Water
quality
was
so
much
better.
Well,
all
you
need
is
a
shovel,
because
if
I
could
dig
a
little
shovel
trench
in
that
30
feet
that
connects
the
beach
to
the
bay,
I
think
nature
would
take
care
of
itself
and
open
it
back
up.
A
B
Approve
a
deep
modification
for
a
certain
real
property
located
at
41
devon
drive
legally
described
as
lot
one.
That's
the
west
110
feet
thereof:
block
b,
columbia,
subdivision
extending
the
time
period
to
commence
vertical
construction
until
august
26,
2021
and
authorize
the
appropriate
officials
to
execute
sites.
R
To
present
good
morning,
robert
burzak
real
estate
service
coordinator,
the
property
of
41
devon
drive,
was
sold
from
the
city
to
decades
c,
captain
for
425
for
425
120
on
january
23,
2017.,
a
stipulation
on
the
special
warranty
deed
grant,
the
city
a
right
to
repurchase
the
property.
If
vertical
construction,
the
parking
garage
was
not
commenced.
A
S
B
Q
Good
morning
again,
sarah
kessler,
in
the
engineering
department
in
may,
you
approve
the
county-wide
local
mitigation
strategy
or
lms.
The
multi-jurisdictional
program
for
public
information
or
ppi
is
the
promotion
and
marketing
requirements.
In
the
crs
program.
The
ppi
is
included
in
appendix
h
of
the
lms,
but
to
receive
the
crs
credit.
The
council
must
formally
acknowledge
that
the
ppi
is
part
of
the
lms
document.
I've
attached
a
memorandum
that
clarifies
the
required
acknowledgement.
Q
K
B
Q
Lots
of
acronyms
this
morning
we
have.
This
is
a
five
agreement
with
pinellas
county
for
surface
water
quality
monitoring
water
quality
monitoring
is
a
requirement
for
the
city's
stormwater
permit.
Pinellas
county
does
most
of
the
water
quality
monitoring
throughout
the
county,
and
we
pay
a
portion
of
the
program
cost
based
on
the
percentage
of
acreage
that
the
city
has
within
the
county
annually.
Q
The
county
provides
a
water
quality
assessment
to
me,
and
then
I
provide
the
specific
assessment
related
to
water
quality
in
the
city's
jurisdiction
in
our
annual
ms4
report
and
happy
to
take
any
questions.
N
Looking
at
the
you
know
how
much
we
pay
and
how
much
each
individual
city
pays
into
this
program.
I
don't
see
the
city
of
saint
petersburg,
I
see
saint
pete
beach,
I
don't
see
the
city
of
saint
petersburg
do.
A
Q
Those
statistics
aren't
necessarily
in
this
one
in
this
report.
You
can
see
how,
over
time
water
quality
has
improved,
but
it
isn't
specifically
measured
in
the
summer
months
like
they
don't
set
it
up
to
specifically
look
at
what
improvements
there
are
summer
after
summer,
it's
overall
how
the
watershed
is
improving
overall,
and
so
we
do
see
improvement
in
our
watershed,
with
the
limitation
of
fertilizers
and
all
the
other
things
that
we
do
street
sweeping
and
all
of
those
other
things,
and
we
definitely
see
an
improvement
since
the
fertilizer
has
gone
into
effect.
Q
I
S
Good
morning,
david
porter
public
utilities
director
I'm
here
this
morning
to
ask
you
to
authorize
the
purchase
order
with
john
mader
enterprises
doing
business
as
mater
electric
motors
to
allow
us
to
purchase
repair
replacement
and
supply
of
utility
plant
equipment
services.
From
that
firm.
S
This
firm
has
been
doing
work
with
us
in
the
past
and
they've
done
a
good
job.
They
assist
us
with
things
such
as
pumps,
booster
pumps,
different
facilities,
our
equipment
within
our
facilities
both
on
the
water
and
the
wastewater
side.
So
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
glad
to
answer
them.
Questions.
N
The
the
number
again
the
number
on
this
seems
kind
of
small,
because
I
know
some
of
those
pumps
and
some
of
those
motors.
If
they
go
out,
you
know
they're,
not
you
know
these
aren't
two
thousand
dollar
motors,
so
it
seems
like
these
are
relatively
small
numbers
for
if
we
have
a
real
motor
problem,
but
but
this
is
historically,
this
is
the
number
that
is
sufficient
to
cover
what
we
need
to
cover.
S
That
this
this,
this
firm
does
work
for
us
on
equipment
that
is
fairly
generic
in
nature.
There's
other
equipment
that
there
are
specified
vendors
that
are
the
only
authorized
service
facilities
to
do
certain
pumps
motors.
In
addition
to
these
screens,
you
know
all
kinds
of
equipment,
so
we
have
a
number
of
these
agreements
with
different
organizations
depending
upon
whether
they're
an
authorized
service
facility
and
therefore
the
only
company
that
can
do
the
work
or
there's
a
generic
company
that
can
do
the
work.
S
M
B
J
Morning,
tom
white,
you
building
maintenance,
superintendent
invitation
to
bid
3420,
was
issued
on
april
29
2020
for
mechanical
electrical
and
forming
services
to
be
provided
on
an
as
need
basis
throughout
the
city.
19
bids
were
received
on
june,
2nd
of
which
16
were
responsive
and
responsible
for
the
bid.
Specifications
bidders
demonstrate
a
minimum
five
years
experience
performing
their
respective
trade
and
commercial
industrial
environment
and
submitted
proposed
hourly
rates
for
their
services.
J
The
valuation
resulted
in
a
wage
determination
offered
to
and
accepted
by
the
following
contractors
for
mechanical.
We
have
air
mechanical,
all
florida,
conserve
kenyan
partners,
page
mechanical
carrier
control
and
tampa
bay
train
for
electrical
contractors.
We
have
ampro
bates
bada,
conserve
piper
and
tamco
for
plumbing.
A
I
mean
this
is
a
big
contract.
I
just
had
a
question
about
overtime
because
obviously
these
folks
are
going
to
get
overtime,
but
you
always
hear
about
certain
companies
that
do
not
charge
overtime
even
on
off
hours
is
with
a
contract.
This
big
is
that
something
we
could
have
negotiated
into
it.
J
Yes,
we've
we've
submitted
the
award
recommendation
with
the
various
rates
and
there
are
hourly
rates,
emergency
rates
and
standard
rates
that
are
on
that.
But
typically
we
try
to
do
everything
with
with
a
standard
rate.
A
So
I
know
you
can't
give
me
a
number
but
give
me
the
amount
of
overtime
I
get
how
many
times
it's
over
time.
J
Typically,
we
don't
use
the
the
contract,
the
contractors
in
overtime
whatsoever.
It's.
A
City
match
council
member
beckman,
you're,
muted,.
G
A
G
G
G
Is
this
is
this
the
is
this
the
mobile
home
park
is
that,
yes,
it
is
right.
Southern
comfort
park,
correct
yeah,
and
so
I
had
questions
about
we're
going
from
land
use,
residential
urban
residential
office,
retail
recreation,
open
space
and
preservation,
us-19
corridor
or
no
right.
It
stopped
it
at
preservation,
two
corridor
and
preservation.
P
Sure,
gina
clayton,
planning
and
development,
this
parcel
was
in
pinellas
county
and
upon
annexation
we
needed
to
assign
the
appropriate
land
use
designations
consistent
with
our
comprehensive
plan.
We
went
through
a
major
rezoning
several
years
ago
and
rezoned
the
entire
quarter
along
us
19
to
our
u.s
19
corridor.
So
this
is
just
making
this
property
upon
annexation
consistent
with
our
land
use
plan.
Okay,.
G
P
P
Well,
the
developer
has
not
submitted
any
plans
at
this
point,
so
I
don't
know
what
the
intentions
are.
How
many
acres
is
it?
It's
26.
P
B
P
I
think
most
of
the
mobile
homes
may
have
been
removed
from
the
site,
but
I
haven't
been
by
it
in
a
while,
but
I
know
that
the
residents
have
moved
out.
Okay,.
G
I
I
do
on
the
10.4.
A
G
Okay,
so
I
have
notes
on
so
there
were
multiple
documents,
so
I'm
just
gonna
find
out
where
my
notes
are
well.
First
of
all,
miss
clayton-
and
I
talked
friday
briefly,
but
I
was
we
were
both
moving
around
or
I
was
moving
around,
but
what
what
flexibility
are
are
developers
or
potential
developers?
Looking
for
what
kinds
of
things
have
come
before
you
that
that
warrants
this
flexibility.
P
Gina
clayton
planning
and
development
department
yeah,
typically,
we've
had
some
issues
with
landscaping
needs
and
also
storm
water
needs.
We've
had
instances
where
someone
actually
based
on
the
configuration
of
the
land
needed
to
actually
have
a
smaller
setback
than
what
the
code
requires,
and
this
amendment
recognizes
these.
These
are
all
generated
by
things
that
staff
believes
are
important
to
help
us
better
administer
the
us19
code.
G
G
Okay,
so
on
one
of
the
there's,
a
section
3-1401
it's
on
page
2.,
it
says
the
proposed
amendment
establishes
city,
engineer:
approval
of
parking
demand,
study
methodology
prior
to
commencement
of
such
a
study
being
used
to
support
a
request
for
flexibility.
G
P
That,
if
someone
believes
that
there
are
compelling
reasons
why
they
should
not
provide
all
the
code
required
parking
that
they
do
a
study
to
demonstrate
to
us
that
there
is
sufficient
reason
for
reducing
the
required
parking,
and
we
would
like
to
have
the
city
engineer
involved
in
the
scoping
meeting.
Typically,
what
happens
is
we
need
in
advance?
We
agree
upon
the
methodology
that
they're
going
to
use
to
to
demonstrate
why
they
don't
need
to
cut.
You
know,
have
the
full
amount
of
parking
that's
required.
G
Okay,
okay
and
then
right,
underneath
that
there's
section
three
where
it
says
the
proposed
amendment
clarifies
which
temporary
uses
would
be
permitted
within
the
u.s
19
district,
primarily
those
which
are
allowed
in
the
commercial
district,
as
well
as
those
which
apply
to
residential
uses
such
as
blocker
neighborhood
parties
or
garage
sales.
G
And
then
there
was,
you
know
something
I
read.
You
know
at
one
of
the
other
descriptors
about
like
circus
things
and
outdoor
events.
That
was
kind
of
were
those
like
promotional
things
that
retail
would
have
along
there
that
you
want
flexibility
with.
P
What
happened
is
when
we
developed
the
new
and
we
implemented
the
us-19
zoning
district.
We
did
not
amend
the
temporary
use
section
to
reflect
this
new
district,
so
things
that
could
occur
along
u.s
19
previously
were
not
recognized
in
that
amendment.
So
this
is
really
a
cleanup.
For
example,
clearwater
countryside
mall
usually
has
an
outdoor
amusement
event
that
they
bring
in
when
we
amended
us
19
district.
We
left
that
out
so
now
we're
just
trying
to
go
back
and
make
those
things
available
again
to
businesses
and
residential
properties
prior
to
the
rezoning.
P
Yes,
we
would
like
to
have
the
terminologies
very
similar
because
it's
the
same
type
of
you
know
form-based
code,
so
we
want
to
to
eliminate
problems
with
staff
having
to
remember
it,
one
way
in
one
district
and
one
in
another
district,
okay,.
G
And
then
the
one
thing
that
I
was
concerned
about
too
was
the
ability
to
limit
the
reductions.
Well,
it
limits
the
size
of
reductions
to
walkways
to
20
percent
and
requires
a
comprehensive
landscape
program
application
to
reduce
any
required
landscape
area.
So
I
mean
it
is
important
to
maintain
as
much
pedestrian
space
as
possible.
Right
I
mean
they
can
only
reduce
it
by
20
percent
right.
It's
a
pretty
small
amount.
Is
that
what
people
really
developers
are
they
wanting
to
reduce
that
kind
of
pedestrian,
walkway
and
landscaping.
P
Sometimes,
we've
had
a
difficulty
in
accommodating
development
redevelopment
on
the
parcels
and
we
need
to
have
some
sort
of
flexibility
to
help
them
make
a
project
occur.
We've
had
instances
where
they
just
physically
didn't
have
space
to
include.
You
know
the
width,
and
so
this
gives
us
the
option
to
work
with
them.
In
those
cases.
G
Okay
and
then
I
just
had
one
more
thing
on
on
well,
I
have
I
guess,
on
page
five,
I
find
it
interesting
that
you
know
what
you're
articulating.
G
We
begin
to
articulate
criteria
for
text
amendments
and
we're
you're,
citing
the
comprehensive
plan,
the
goals,
policies,
objectives
of
the
comprehensive
plan,
and
one
of
them
that
jumps
out
is
objective,
a
.5.5
and
it
says,
promote
high
quality
design
standards
that
support
clearwater's
image
and
contribute
to
its
identity,
which
is
fantastic.
But
I
think-
and
this
is
where
you
know,
when
I'm
going
to
propose
something
for
future
discussions-
it's
like
what
is
clearwater's
image
and
its
identity,
and
you
know
how.
How
are
we
articulating
that?
P
Well,
I
think
some
key
things
are
quality
landscaping.
Architectural
design
would
be
two
things
that
come
to
mind
when
I
think
about
high
quality
design
standards.
G
8.6.1.6,
this
is
what
what
I
think
is
is
telling
as
well
says
land
use.
Decisions
in
clearwater
shall
support
the
expansion
of
economic
opportunity,
creation
of
jobs
and
training
opportunities,
as
well
as
the
maintenance
of
existing
industries
through
establishment
of
enterprise
zones,
activity,
centers
and
redevelopment
areas,
and
by
coordination
with
the
chamber
of
commerce,
tourist
development,
council
and
other
economic
development
organizations
and
agencies.
G
That's
fantastic,
but
I
would
say:
where
is
the
articulation
of
protection
of
the
environment
and
sustainability?
And
and
that's
you
know,
hopefully
where
our
our
city
can
can
head
and
start
to
consider
those
things?
So
I
yeah
and
that's
all
I
have.
Thank
you
very
much
for
answering
my
questions.
That's.
A
Clayton,
don't
don't
leave
yet.
Can
you
just
explain
a
little
bit
for
everybody?
You
know
our
code
and
the
fact
that
it
is
performance-based
the
fact
that
we
really
are
in
a
city
that
is
redevelopment.
We
don't
have
any
green
field.
That
is
correct
areas.
So
can
you
just
talk
about
how
that
differs
from
an
area
that
is
greenfield
and
how
our
how
our
code
is
performance
based.
P
Well,
I
would
say
that
our
code
was
put
in
place
to
recognize
that
we
are
in
a
redevelopment
mode
because
we're
mostly
built
out,
as
you
said,
I
think,
we're
about
97
96
built
out,
and
so
when
the
code
was
adopted
in
1999,
it
included
flexibility
to
recognize
the
difficulty
of
redeveloping
existing
sites
and
making
them
fit
in
based
on
the
limited
amount
of
land
that's
available.
P
So
a
lot
of
our
flexibility
is
design
based
and
flexibility
is
allowed.
For
example,
you
can
maybe
have
a
reduced
setback.
If
you
do
a
higher
quality
of
landscaping,
design
or
the
architectural
character
of
your
project
is,
is
better
than
say
just
any
other
type
of
development.
So
it's
really
about
trying
to
maximize
redevelopment
opportunities,
but
also
getting
some
sort
of
benefit
in
the
process.
P
Redevelopment,
as
you
know,
is
very
challenging.
Land
costs
are
high
in
an
area
like
clearwater
and
we're
competing
with
areas
where
there's
a
lot
of
greenfield
where
development
is
much
I'll
say
it's
just
cheaper
because
you
don't
have
to
acquire
land
and
you
don't
have
to
demolish
buildings
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
P
So
our
code
was
put
in
place
to
really
facilitate
that
and
I
think
you've
seen
that
we
do
have
a
little
difference
with
the
downtown
district
and
the
u.s
19
district
they're,
moving
more
into
a
form
based
type
code,
where
it's
very
prescriptive,
but
what
we're
finding
as
because
we're
still
in
a
redevelopment
area.
Sometimes
you
need
some
flexibility,
and
so
that's
what
this
ordinance
is.
Bringing
forward
to
you
today
to
recognize
the
need
for
limited
flexibility
with
the
form
base
code.
A
Thank
you
any
other
second
reading
questions.
I
T
Designate
a
council
member
to
serve
as
a
city's
official
voting
delegate
at
the
floor
league
of
cities,
annual
conference
august
14,
2020,
council
members,
the
florida
league
of
cities,
annual
conference
will
be
held
over
the
zoom
platform
and
they
are
requesting
each
municipality
to
designate
a
voting
delegate.
T
T
I
will
provide
council
copy
of
the
resolutions
I'll
get
that
from
the
city
manager.
I
provided
those
resolutions
back,
but
really
it's
a
resolution
to
honor
the
retirement
of
mike
siddig
there's.
Also
a
resolution
to
thank
the
current
president
of
the
mayor
of
bay,
harbor
islands
there's
also
a
resolution
supporting
federal
dollars
to
municipalities
regarding
povid
related
expenses,
so
at
least
up
to
this
point,
those
are
the
only
resolutions
that
I've
been
submitted
that
I'm
aware
of.
A
A
I've
got
it
here
all
right
thanks,
mr
horn.
Anyone
interested
in
doing
that
on
behalf
of
the
city.
I
G
A
T
A
Yes,
that's
fine,
okay
item
13.1,
mrs
aiken,
did
you
have
anything
to
add
13.1
psta
update
vice
mayor.
M
M
Just
a
few
things,
I
thought
it
would
be
interesting
to
to
bring
this
forward
on
one
of
the
boards.
I'm
on
the
psta.
The
league
of
american
bicycles,
recognized
psta
as
a
bronze
level,
bicycle-friendly
business
award
being
the
first
public
transportation
service
in
the
state
to
receive
this
award
was
a
great
honor
and
we'll
continue
to
research
ways.
We'd
be
more
beneficial
to
our
viking
community.
M
Approving
the
first
brt
rapid
transit
bus,
rapid
transit
leg,
and
that
goes
from
downtown
saint
pete
to
saint
pete
beach,
and
that
is
gonna
get
underway
real
soon.
We're
really
excited
about
that.
We
got
grants
from
the
federal
government,
also
the
city
of
saint
pete,
and
this
is
really
the
first
leg
of
a
41.
It's
a
10.3
mile
route.
M
That's
going
give
some
relief
to
st
pete
beach
for
employees.
M
The
ideas
get
bus
quickly
to
and
from
downtown
to
the
beach,
which
I
think
it'll
help
a
lot
of
our
service
industry
personnel
get
on
the
beach
and
other
people
back
and
forth,
but
it's
the
first
leg
of
a
40
41
mile
brt
plan
to
go
all
the
way
up
to
wesley
chapel,
and
so
we're
really
excited
about
that.
The
name.
The
name
of
the
the
bus
will
be
the
sunrunner
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
art
incorporated
into
the
logo
and
also
into
the
stops
all
the
way
out.
M
M
Center
they're,
going
to
move
from
the
you
know
downtown
on
the
500
block
over
the
original
plan
that
they
have
cons.
Conceptual
plans
for
is
to
move
on
the
corner
of
myrtle
and
60.,
but
until
we
discuss
it,
we'll
have
to
see
where
city
hall
is
going
and
then
at
that
point,
we'll
kind
of
discuss
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
with
psta
as
far
as
a
definite
site
for
them.
M
The
other
one
our
mpo
is
ford
pinellas
and
we
had
ford
pinellas
is
a
unified
mpo
ppc,
which
is
the
metropolitan
planning
organization
which
has
to
do
with
transit,
and
the
also
come
in
pinellas
county
is
combined
with
the
ppc,
which
is
pinellas
planning
council,
which
really
has
to
do
with
land.
So
what
we've
done?
M
It
was
a
good
thing
to
combine
this
because
now,
since
we
are
a
community,
that's
a
rebuilding
itself,
we
can
definitely
find
where
it's
good
to
plan
for
transit,
as
well
as
plan
where
our
buildings
should
be
so
it
it
goes
hand
in
hand
and
whit.
Blanton
is
the
the
head
of
that.
He's
done
a
really
good
job
with
getting
everybody
on
track
with
that
one
of
the
things
that's
going
to
affect
clearwater
with
ford
pinellas
is
the
plan
of
our
complete
streets.
M
Projects
which
is
fort
harrison
and
drew
street
and
drew
street
is
underway.
We've
got
the
d.o.t
designing
the
engineering
for
that
project
because
it
we
have
three
different
in
the
length
of
drew
street.
All
the
way
to
19
from
downtown
you've
got
the
city
owning
part
of
it.
You've
got
the
state
owning
part
of
it,
the
county
owning
part
of
it.
So
d.o.t
is
we
figure,
probably
by
the
beginning
of
the
year.
They'll,
have
that
complete
it'll
come
back
to
us.
M
A
M
They
should
be
and
it
creates
a
real
hazard.
So
anyway,
that's
begun
and
I
hope
to
to
be
talking
more
about
it
toward
the
end
of
the
year
when
we
get
the
plan
back
from.
M
The
d.o.t,
so
that's
the
two
updates
on
the
two
boards
that
I'm
on
and
does
anybody
have
any
questions
we
try
to
get
the
information.
I
know
that
brad
sends
the
psta
updates
to
all
the
council
members.
So
you
you
can
see
what's
going
on
and
it's
nice,
but
if
you
have
any
questions
about
either
the
mpo
or
psta.
A
M
No,
they
did
the
conceptual
plan,
they
got
funding
for
the
project
and
they
can
they.
I
think
it
was
a
year
year
and
a
half
ago
they
gave
the
planning
department
a
conceptual
idea
for
a
now
we're
doing
it's
more
than
a
bus
station.
It's
an
intermodal
center
and
we
that's
what
we
want.
M
We
want
a
a
something
that
will
benefit
not
only
the
bus,
but
you
know
what's
going
to
happen
in
the
future,
with
transit,
and
so
the
problem
was
is
now,
we've
changed
the
downtown
development
plan
and
our
staff
has
to
make
sure
that
whatever
goes
on
that
site,
that's
in
the
downtown
plan.
M
You
know
fits
in
that
box
and
so
without
really
knowing
because
the
as
you
know,
we're
talking
about
city
hall,
being
one
of
the
sites
for
city
hall.
Is
that
corner
lot?
So
we're
not
really
sure
where
it's
going
to
go
until
we
we
vote
and
make
a
decision
on
where
city
hall
is
going
to
go,
but
the
funding
for
the
for
the
actual
construction
once
our
staff
gets
with
psta
and
they
figure
out
after,
and
it
probably
won't
happen
until
after
we
figure
out
exactly
what
lot
it's
going
to
go
on.
Where.
M
Put
it
I
still
hold,
as
you
know,
mayor,
I
owned
one
of
the
key
parcels
in
that
block
and
I
sold
that
to
the
city.
I
guess
it
was
about
10
years
ago,
before
green
light
at
your
request
or
the
city's
request.
M
So
I'm
really
my
heart
is
make
sure
that
we
do
put
a
intermodal
center
there.
I
mean
I
sold
it
with
that
in
mind,
so
I
kind
of
have
a
little
bit
of
a
stake
in
this
interest
here
myself.
So
I'd
love
to
see
that
not
only
for
our
bus
transit
system
now,
but
I'm
looking
ahead
when
we
have
bus
going
to
tampa
and
we
can,
when
people
fly
in
to
tampa
international,
that
we
have,
they
don't
have
to
take
a
taxi
to
clearwater.
M
I
mean
we're
part
of
the
transportation
system
that
comes
to
clearwater
and
and
that
site
on
60
is
a
great
site
for
that,
because
on
the
way
to
the
beach-
and
you
know,
we
could
do
some
great
things
park
and
rides
and
all
kinds
of
things
with
that.
So
as
we
develop
downtown,
I
see
that
part
of
our
future,
but
we
will
have
a
chance
to
talk
about
that
at
future
meetings.
M
M
Just
up
from
they
seem
to
be
coming
in
and
more
people
are
mooring.
Their
boats
now
clearwater
before
I
think
back
in
2009
and
before
we
used
to
have
some
ordinances
that
we
could
put
on
boating
in
the
community
and
around
2011
the
federal
government.
We
had
so
many
requests
on
different
navigable
navigable
water
requests
from
different
states.
They
finally
just
said:
look
we're
going
to
leave
this
to
each
state.
Each
state
is
going
to
be
the
trustee
of
their
waterways.
Well,
as
you
know,
florida,
that's
what
we
do.
M
I
mean
we're
a
boating
state.
We
have
more
coastline
than
any
other
state.
So
basically,
the
legislative
florida
legislature
took
over
all
navigable
waters
in
florida
and
said
municipalities
you're
out
of
it.
The
only
time
you
can
make
a
a
an
ordinance
for
mooring
or
anchoring
or
any
boating
is,
if
you
own
the
land
under
the
water.
M
So
we
have
some
municipalities
around
us.
Madeira,
beach,
I
think,
owns
an
alcove
with
and
they
can
put
different
ordinances.
M
Pretty
much
the
rest
of
florida
is
left
to
open
navigation.
Now,
listen,
I'm
a
I'm
a
boater
myself!
I
love
boating
and
and
if
I'm
going
to
advocate,
I
want
to
have
something:
that's
beneficial
for
both
the
boaters,
because
I
understand
florida.
If
you
open
it
to
boaters,
you
don't
want
to
have
them,
because
I
mean
you
hardly
know
when
you're
driving
from
one
municipality
to
another
around
here,
because
everything's
so
dense.
M
M
So
I'm
kind
of
in
the
first
stages
of
trying
to
get
tallahassee
to
do
something:
that's
beneficial
for
private
property
owners
without
taking
voters,
rights
away,
and
I'm
talking
to
I've
already
talked
to
chris
lavalo.
I've
met
with
him.
I've
talked
with
nick
desigly
about
maybe
sponsoring
a
bill.
This
year.
When
I
was
in
tallahassee
in
january,
there
was
a
bill
in
a
committee
that
never
made
it
out
trying
to
deal
with
this.
M
So
I'm
I'm
trying
to
get
as
many
people
around
our
area.
I've
been
talking
with
brian
from
the
county,
which
he's
got
a
group
of
people
in
and
all
the
municipalities
in
the
county
that
have
concerns
and
see
if
we
put
something
fair
and
equitable
for
both
sides
of
this
issue,
because
it's
a
very
I
didn't
realize
it
when
I
got
into
it.
M
But
it
was
a
very
contentious
issue
and
it
clearwater
actually
had
a
hand
in
getting
the
state
to
change
the
ordinance
back
in
2009
there
was
a
lawsuit
in
clearwater
and
that's
on
the
books.
I
didn't
realize
that
that
I
guess
the
person
that
moored
past
the
72
hours
won
the
suit
and
they
got.
I
guess
tallahassee
kind
of
changed
their
laws
after
that,
but
I
think
there's
can
be
something
that
is
beneficial
to
both
and
I'll.
Keep
you
up
to
date.
M
It's
going
to
be
something
that's
probably
going
to
not
it's
probably
going
to
take
another
six
seven
months,
but
we
we've
started
the
ball
rolling
and
I'll.
Keep
you
up
to
date
with
well.
A
At
a
minimum,
we
should
have
a
resolution
that
on
the
books
for
the
legislative
session,
I
think
we
can
also
work
with
our
other
municipalities
I'll,
be
happy
to
try
to
carry
some
water
with
the
mayor's
council
throughout
the
county.
It
is
a
problem.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
those
boats
are
being
pumped
out
properly
and
not
dumping
sewage
into
the
bag.
M
Yeah,
there's
a
there's,
a
load
of
things,
I'd
like
to
see
that
I
mean
when,
if
you,
if
you
have
a
boat
and
you
dock
it
at
the
dock,
at
the
marina
downtown
you're
required
to
have
insurance,
because
if
you
damage
the
docks,
somehow
who's
going
to
pay
for
that.
So
I'm
thinking.
If
we
need
to
have
insurance,
we
need
to
have
some
kind
of
standard.
M
If
you're
going
to
moor
for
anchorage
that
you
know,
if
you
have
a
52-foot
boat,
you
needed
this
size
anchor
because
we
don't
want
to
be
scraping
up
the
seagrass
back
and
forth.
As
these
things
move
around
there's
a
lot
of
issues
that
I
think
we
can
look
at
without
being
too
restrictive
on
boats.
I
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
people
that
come
in
that
actually
live
aboard,
they're
cruising
through
and
want.
M
You
know
to
stay
for
a
week
in
clearwater,
but
the
people
that
are
moored
out
there
that
we
don't
know
if
they're
pumping
out
I
mean
clearwater
actually
has
a
pumping
vessel
for
free
that
they'll
run
around
and
pump
out.
You
know
people's
boats
for
free
and
but
we
don't
see
a
lot
of
activity
around
the
boats
out
in
front
of
our
place.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
being
done,
but
that's
a
concern.
T
Council
members,
this
would
be
a
perfect
item
for
our
legislative
agenda
as
we
begin
to
prepare
for
the
next
legislative
session.
So
in
lieu
of
a
resolution
I
think
we
should
start
working
on
that
vice
mayor,
if
you're
available,
I
would
love
to
set
up
a
call
with
our
lobbyist
and
if
pam
is
available
as
well,
so
we
can
start
that
if
you're
looking
more
at
a
state
legislative
bill,
also
that'll
give
me
some
background,
so
I
can
help
you
present
the
item
for
the
four
league
of
cities.
N
I
think
there's
a
couple
things
number
one
is,
I
think
the
potential
is
there
for
this
problem
to
get
even
greater
just
because,
with
the
pandemic,
a
lot
of
people
had
a
lot
of
spare
time.
You
know
free
time
on
their
hands
that
they
hadn't,
anticipated
and
boat
sales
and
boating
has
become
much
more
prevalent
in
our
area.
N
I
take
this
gentleman
at
his
word,
but
you
know
we
have
got
to
be
able
the
legislator
or
somebody
we
have
got
to
be
able
to
have
control
of
our
waterways
to
make
sure
these
boats
are
maintained,
properly,
discharging
their
waste
properly
and
and
whatnot
right
now
we
our
hands
are
tied
and
we
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
had
about
a
whole
lot
of
options,
but
we've
got
to
hammer
common
sense
into
tallahassee
and
say
this
is
out
of
control
and
we've
got
to
get.
M
I've
got
a
question
for
pam
pam.
I
one
of
my
papers
I
got
was
ordinance
9383-20.
I
don't
think
it's
been
signed
yet
because
we
haven't
been
brought
to
council.
It
is
a
ordinance
of
the
city
clearwater
relating
to
the
regulation
of
derelict
vessels,
and
I
know
we
had
a
an
ordinance
before
this
one
looks
like
it's
been
modified,
but
I'd
like
to
bring
that
if
that
needs
to
be
discussed
the
council,
let's
go
ahead
and
and
put
that
on
an
agenda
and
bring
that
forward.
H
That
is
on
the
agenda,
but
not
for
this
meeting.
I
believe
it's
for
the
second
meeting
in
august.
M
A
A
Okay,
13.3,
I
mean
we
are
due
for
a
break,
but
this
is
really
the
last
last
item.
So
can
everybody
hang
in
there?
A
We've
had
several
issues
recently
that
you
know
citizens
have
wanted
to
meet
all
five
of
us
on
and
I'd
like
to
just
discuss
real
quickly
how
we
want
to
deal
with
this.
First
of
all,
I
am
not
trying
to
limit
citizens
contact
with
council
members.
What
I
do
want
to
limit
is
confusion
from
a
bunch
of
different
answers
coming
from
different
people
and
maybe
different
promises.
A
So
we
had,
you
know
the
drainage
issue
up
off
of
drew
and
highland,
and
now
we've
got
the
crest
lake
park
and
the
dog
park
issue,
which
we
have
a
constituent
that
wants
to
meet
with
everybody,
and
I
just
want
to
make
certain
that
there's
some
coordination
and
communication
which
we
cannot
have
together
because
of
sunshine.
A
M
F
M
I
think
everybody
should
feel
comfortable
that
they
can
meet
with
who
they
feel
can
bring
something
forward
for
them,
but
I
don't
know
if
they
need
to
talk
to
every
council
member.
I
don't
think
that,
because
sometimes
it's
easier
for
one
council
member
to
relay
information
back
and
then,
if
another
council
member
gets
it
explained
to
him
in
a
way
and
then
he
might
say
something
else.
I
I
agree
with
you.
I
think
it's.
It
would
be
better
to
have
a
point
person,
maybe
through
the
city
manager
that
can
answer
questions.
M
We
could
maybe
respond
what
our
concerns
would
be
and
then
have
staff
which
ultimately
they're
going
to
be
the
ones
that
are
going
to
probably
take
care
of
whatever
it
is
that
they're
complaining
about.
So
I'd
like
to
see
what
mr
horn
thinks
of
that.
B
Thanks
vice
mayor
there,
there
are
two
things
that
surface
as
a
result
of
this
process.
First
is
items
that
are
policy
in
nature.
What
I
always
try
to
do
is
to
get
you
all
involved
in
a
discussion
to
address
the
policy
issue,
because
sometimes
people
who
disagree
with
administrative
decisions
really
are
questioning
the
policy
upon
which
the
the
administrative
decision
is
based,
and
it's
usually
you
know
in
our
code
and
that
sort
of
thing.
B
So
so
that's
the
first
thing,
so
I
I
think
we
have
a
good
way
of
pushing
that
in
front
of
you
and
working
with
whoever
is
complaining
to
at
least
frame
that
you
know
so
that
you
all
as
a
collective
body,
can
get
your
hands
on.
The
other
issue
is
something
that
is
occurring.
I
I
I
can't
say
it's
more
frequently,
but
it
certainly
seems
it
feels
that
way.
B
It's
when
our
citizens
simply
disagree
with
an
administrative
decision
that
is
based
on
our
code
and
and
they
don't
accept
the
answers,
and
then
they
take
it
to
you
all
and
that's
where
you
know
you
may
get
everyone.
Everybody
gets
a
bite
at
the
apple
because
the
individual
wants
to
meet
with
all
of
you
and
if
it's
in
writing-
and
it
comes
to
all
of
you,
then
the
mayor,
based
on
your
on
your
your
council
policy-
responds
on
behalf
of
the
council,
so
we
we
have
a
way
of
kind
of
addressing
this.
B
If
it
comes
to
you
in
written
form,
what
we
don't
quite
have
nailed
down
is
what
the
mayor
was
talking
about
is
when
people
schedule
a
meeting
with
you
now,
how
do
we
facilitate
that?
Do
you
still
want
the
mayor
to
respond,
even
though
you
all
have
had
a
meeting
with
that
particular
group?
I
don't
think
the
council
policy
really
kind
of
addresses
that
dynamic
you
could
amend
the
policy
to
again.
B
You
know,
require
the
same
sort
of
reaction,
even
though
you
have
a
meeting
with
the
mayor,
and
obviously
the
mayor
has
a
meeting
that
the
mayor
can
still
respond
on
behalf
of
the
council
and
of
course
you
all
are
made
aware
of
what
that
response
is
so
vice
mayor,
that's
kind
of
how
I
see
it.
I
think
things
that
are
written
or
I
think
we
have
a
policy
process,
that
kind
of
addresses
that
things
are
that
are
occur
because
of
the
individual
meetings.
You
know
it's
not
quite
as
nailed
down
now.
B
M
M
I
mean
everybody
goes
through
you
you're
the
and
you
would
know
if
there's
a
consensus
or
not
so
I
I
don't,
I
don't
know
it,
we
we
need
to
be
able
to
be
accessible
to
people
without
I
mean
it's
hard
with
the
sunshine
law
to
to
do
that
without
responding
and
saying
something,
that's
going
to
conflict
with
somebody
else
so
and
then
I
understand
that
the
can.
B
I'll
just
use
that
as
an
example,
I
know
she
met
with
all
of
you,
but
but
because
we
were
involved
with
all
of
the
principal
property
owners,
then
we
could
then
go
ahead
and
wait
until
that
meeting
process
with
you
all.
It
finished
then
come
to
you
at
a
councilwork
session
and
lay
out
what
the
solution
was
and
so
then
you
could
then
react
to
it.
I
think
that
kind
of
worked
out,
but
but
some
of
the
other.
S
B
Are
are
not
as
simple
we've
got
an
issue.
You
know
right
now
involved
in
crest
state
park
in
the
dog
park.
You
know
my
intention
is
for
us
to
complete
the
project
and
and
and
not
not
be
interfered
with
until
until
that's
done,
but
you
all
have
received
meetings
with
one
individual
and,
and
I
think
that
person
has
an
expectation
that
somehow
there's
going
to
be
a
council
discussion
of
the
dog
park
renovation
and
that's
not
my
intent.
B
You
know
you
know
at
all
so,
but
I
don't
know
if
some
of
you
feel
differently
about
that.
But
but
I
mean
so
mayor,
I
you
know,
I
don't
know
whether
I've
complicated
what
you're
trying
to
accomplish,
but
that's
at
least
that's
my.
A
A
It
would
be
good
to
have
a
discussion
not
only
for
the
council,
but
also
for
the
public
to
better
explain
what
our
roles
and
responsibilities
are
within
the
city,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
times.
People
are
confused
that
we
have
a
council
manager,
form
of
government.
A
I
get
emails
often
times,
and
you
all
see
all
of
them,
but
people
believe
that
we
have
a
strong
form
of
government
where
first
of
all,
I
am
administrating
on
a
daily
basis
and
secondly,
that
I
can
make
unilateral
decisions-
and
we
all
know
that
that
isn't
true
and
so
to
me.
That
is
a
part
of
tempering
and
clarifying
what
the
expectations
of
citizens
should
be,
because
I
want
to
meet
expectations
or
I
want
to
exceed
their
expectations.
A
T
A
They
don't
understand
sometimes
what
the
process
is.
It
makes
it
a
lot
more
difficult,
and
so
what
I'm
trying
to
do
is
eliminate
some
of
the
ways
that
we're
probably
going
to
get
crosswise
ways
with
people,
because,
if
they're
coming
to
all
five
folks,
we
may
just
have
even
slight
deviations
in
what
we
think
ought
to
go
on
with
the
project.
A
And
you
know,
as
mr
horn
said
in
an
email
you
know,
do
we
want
to
try
to
design
certain
things
by
committee?
I've
found
that
that
option
does
work
very
well,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
get
feedback
from
everybody
as
to
what
they're,
comfortable
with
and
ways
that
we
can
make
this
a
more
effective
and
efficient
process.
H
Mayor,
I
believe
that
miss
call
has
established
in
a
coming
meeting
a
discussion
of
the
council
policies.
I'm
not
sure
when
that
is.
I
believe
it
may
be
the
next
meeting,
and
this
is
something
that
is
addressed
in
that
policy
and
probably
needs
some
expansion.
H
H
There
are
some
other
issues
that
I
think
we
need
to
address
and
and
outlining
those
rules
a
little
more
cool.
Clearly,
I
think,
is
important
and
I
think,
defining
the
roles
you
raise
an
excellent
issue.
I
think
that
would
be
important
to
also
address
in
the
rules
what
happens
or
how
we
can
assist
you.
For
example,
one
of
your
the
meetings
or
discussions
that
you've
been
having
address
things.
H
So
I
think
when
we
have
that
rules
discussion,
that's
definitely
some
things.
We
need
to
clarify.
A
And
maybe
that's
the
appropriate
time
to
expand
this
conversation,
but
I
wanted
to
put
on
the
table
now.
So
at
least
everybody
be
thinking
about
it,
I'll
leave
it
up
to
all
of
you
as
to
when
you
want
to
have
that
discussion,
but
that
probably
would
be
the
appropriate
time
any
other
input
from
anyone.
G
Obviously
I
like
to
interact
with
the
public
as
much
as
possible,
but
I
worry
about
when
an
individual
meets
with
each
one
of
us
individually
what's
being
communicated,
and
you
know
I
try
to
listen,
you
know
I
listen
and
take
notes
and
and
try
to
understand,
and
then
I
go
back
to
staff
for
clarification
and
usually
say
you
know
we'll.
G
Let
me
check
with
the
city
attorney
or
or
whatever,
and
and
try
to
understand,
more
and
put
a
professional
opinion
back
on
staff,
because
it's
not
I'm
not
a
professional
in
those
different
areas,
but
I
think
I
don't
know
if
this
is
in
alignment
with
sunshine
laws
but,
for
example,
the
crest
lake
park
gentleman
and
his
concerns,
and
I
met
with
him
out
at
crest
lake
park
and
then
followed
up
with
an
email
that
articulated
you
know
what
I
understood
his
complaint
to
be
what
we
saw
together
and
what
action
I
was
going
to
take
and
you
know,
suggested
and
not
like
I
was
going
to
take
any
action.
G
I
can
sympathize
with
them,
but
I
I
advised
you
know,
since
all
the
work
was
done,
let's
wait
and
see
how
it
works
out
before
we
presume
that
it's
going
to
be
awful
or
not
what
he
expects,
and
so
you
all
were
privy
to
that,
and
I
I
you
know
if,
if
we're
having
individual
meetings
with
people-
and
there
was
another
woman
out
for
the
assisted
living
out
by
mcmullen
booth,
you
know
perhaps
if
we
follow
up
with
a
short
email
that
then
gets
circulated
as
in
this
is
a
summary
of
my
our
meeting
and
and
what
we
said
is
that.
H
You
cannot
interchange
with
each
other
or
have
discussions
with
each
other,
even
if
it's
by
email.
Now,
what
you
did,
which
is
just
a
synopsis
of
your
conversation
with
the
person
you
met
with,
is
not
a
problem.
H
A
So
out
for
the
alf,
for
instance,
I
had
been
there
the
day
prior
to
you,
I'm
sure
they
told
you
that,
and
I
generated
a
whole
list
of
questions
that
they've
given
me
from
their
packet
to
give
to
staff
and
staff
is
still
working
on
a
response
to
that
which,
but
what
what
I
saw
and
this
isn't
this
isn't
the
only
example.
A
We
have
other
examples
over
the
last
couple
months
with
different
council
members,
who've
been
approached
by
different
people,
but
there
is
a
different
person
that
is
contacting
you,
councilmember
beckman
and
then
there's
a
different
one.
That's
been
contacting
me
and
what
I'm
just
concerned
with
is
just
that.
You
know
we
have
a
unified
message
from
the
city
that
at.
A
When
the
the
staff
has
really
completely
analyzed
the
situation
that
we
can
give
them
back
a
unified
response
and
again
so
their
expectations
are
realistic
as
to
how
the
process
is
going
to
unfold.
A
So-
and
I
think
you
know-
I
think
the
rest
of
us
are
meeting
with
the
gentlemen
from
press
lake
park
this
week.
So
council,
member
hamilton.
N
I
think
again
using
crest
lake
as
an
example.
As
we
went
through
that
process
for
the
the
crest
lake
re
redesign,
there
was
a
series
of
multiple
public
meetings
and
the
public
were
able
to
give
their
input
and
everything
else,
and
I
think
we
all
know
miss
siskin
joanna.
N
She
was
highly
involved
in
it
and
I
I
was
actually
having
a
conversation
with
her
the
other
day
about
the
gentleman
were
meeting
with
now
and
her
her
response
was
well.
Where
was
he
when
we
were
having
all
these
meetings
to
design
co,
design,
crest
lake,
because
she's
very
happy
with
the
way
crest
lake
is
coming
together
and
the
design
of
it
and
everything
else,
and
she
had
no
idea
who
this
guy
was
so
there's
always
going
to
be.
N
You
know
people
who
are
going
to
not
like
something
or
whatever,
but
I
think
what
it
really
cuts
down
to
and
is.
We
are
the
policy
makers,
we
establish
policy,
we
approve
projects
and
things
of
that,
but
once
we
vote
on
it
it
falls
into
mr
horn's
lap
and
our
very
professional
city
staff
handle
it
from
that
point
on.
So
you
know,
I'm
not
sure
we're
the
ones
that
need
to
be.
You
know
talking
to
citizens
about
redesigning
or
redoing
minor
modifications
to
something
we've
already
approved.
N
I
I
think,
then
it
falls
into
the
administration
into
an
administrative
vein
and
that's
not
our
job.
Our
job
is
not
administrative,
so
I
I
just
you
know
I
understand
where
people
are
going
and
and
where
the
you
know
where
the
you
know,
our
names
are
out
there
and,
and
they
want
to
talk
to
us-
and
I
don't
have
a
problem
talking
to
people,
but
sometimes
people's
expectations,
of
just
by
having
a
conversation
with
us.
They
think
that
it's
gonna
they're
gonna
get
what
they
want.
Just
by
talking
to
us.
A
A
You
know
some
that
come
all
the
way
to
the
council,
some
that
do
not
that
particular
project
does
not
rise
to
the
city
council
and
tried
to
temper
expectations.
A
I
I
understand
the
importance
of
unified
voice
and-
and
I
agree
with
you
on
that
situation
in
the
case
of
becca
k,
she
came
to
me
and
I
went
out
and
met
with
her
and
took
it
along
a
video
camera
shot.
Some
video
got
some
information
from
her
and
then
put
it
on
a
private
link
on
youtube
to
share
with
the
city,
and
I
use
the
process
that
I've
I've
used
all
along,
which
is
somebody
approaches
me
with
a
problem.
I
turn
to
mr
horn
and
ask
which
department
would
handle
this.
C
I
And
as
as
far
as
I
think
that
works
well,
I
mean
almost
everything
that
I've
turned
over.
Mr
horn
has
been
addressed
in
one
way
or
or
another.
When
I
see
a
citizen
scheduled
to
meet
with
all
of
us,
I
assume
that's
something
that
the
city
wanted
to
happen.
I
Same
way,
that
when
I
see
like
we,
the
assistant
living
center
or
or
there's
a
businessman
who
wants
to
do
something
with
the
beaches
and
exercise
equipment.
I
I
I
don't
want
to
talk
to
people,
but
I
I
think
the
city
has
to
look
at
what
type
of
setup
we
want
to
use.
A
Well,
at
least
we've
had
this
opportunity
to
discuss
it
and
put
some
context
to
it
and,
as
we
talk
about
the
council
policies
in
our
next
meeting,
if.
A
Could
just
put
their
thinking
cap
on
and
we
can
discuss
it
further
at
that
time.
Okay,
anything
else
from
any
of
the
council
members,
council,
member
beckman
and
then
the
vice
mayor.
G
Okay,
so
are
we
on
item
14
new
business
items
not
on
the
agenda?
Correct?
Okay,
so
I
would
you
know
I.
I
know
that
we've
had
some
marathon
meetings
and
we
don't
don't
want
to
duplicate
those
marathon
meetings
necessarily,
but
I
would
like
to
think
of
some
ways
that
we
can
creatively
get
to
know
each
other
better
because
with
covid
you
know
it's.
G
So
I
I
would
ask
that
you
could
think
about
what,
if
we
put
on
our
work
session
agendas-
and
maybe
it's
just
one
a
month
or
something
like
a
20-minute
allocation
of
time
to
talk
about
our
personal
philosophies
related
to
different
things,
whether
it's
you
know
what
what
are
our
personal
philosophies
related
to
citizen,
engagement
and
kind
of
like
the
discussion
we
just
had
or
we
could.
How
are
we
going
to
approach
strategic
planning
and
those
priorities?
G
I'm
really
I'm
really
interested
in
what
your
feelings
are
about.
A
community
identity,
a
sense
of
what
is
clear
water.
What
is
our
community
identity?
It's
referenced
in
our
codes,
it's
referenced
in
the
uli
report
and
this
need
to
to
develop
some
kind
of
cohesive
unity
throughout
our
really
diverse
city
and
and
I'd
I'd
love
to
know
what
your
you
know.
G
The
thoughts
are
on
that
as
we
move
forward
in
making
some
decisions
or
giving
guidance
about
the
development
of
of
imagine,
clearwater
coachman
park
and
and
and
so
anyway,
that's
just
a
suggestion-
you
can
think
about
it
and
see
if
it
might
be
something
you're
open
to
or
other
ways
that
we
can
have
just
some
candid
get
to
know
you
conversation,
but
it
relates
to
how
we
approach
decision
making
and
priorities
in
our
city.
A
Well,
I
will
tell
you
it's
it's
a
shame,
the
way
code
that
has
changed
a
new
council
and
really
getting
to
know
one
another
a
little
bit
better.
Normally
we
at
least
eat
together
before
council
meetings
with
miss
aiken
in
our
presence,
we're
not
talking
about
anything
having
to
do
with
business,
but
we
are
talking
about
families
background.
A
You
know
because
we
ran
in
different
seats,
but
we
ran
together.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
I
promised
was
going
back
and
revisiting
the
strategic
plan
for
the
city
and
that
kind
of
starts
with
some
meetings
between
the
city
council.
That
does
exactly
what
you're
asking
for
the
problem.
Is
it's
really
going
to
be
difficult
to
go
out
and
take
the
next
step
of
talking
to
citizens
in
mass
and
finding
out
what
they
think
and
what
they
desire
for?
A
You
know
looking
at
charts
or
looking
at
visuals
and
everything
else
really
getting
people's
opinions
on
things,
and
so
I
think
maybe
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
decide
is:
do
we
want
to
hold
off
on
that
so
that
we
have
a
better
process
or
do
we
want
to
start
to
go
forward
and
maybe
not
have
as
good
a
result,
but
at
least
have
some
of
the
conversations.
A
I
would
be
happy
to
have
a
secret
work
session
that
just
gives
us
an
opportunity
in
the
sunshine.
I
would
rather
have
a
separate
council
member
beckman
than
during
a
normal
work
session
or
a
council
meeting
and
literally
start
to
flesh
out
some
major
areas
and
give
one
another's
philosophy
on
those
areas
I
mean.
I
know
the
environment,
for
instance,
is
very
important
to
you.
I
think
it
is
important
to
all
of
us
at
different
levels.
A
I
think
if
we
could
pick
maybe
five
to
seven
different
broad
categories
of
topics
that
we
could
discuss
and
have
a
special
counsel
meeting,
rather
than
starting
the
vision,
visioning
and
strategic
planning
process.
This
would
at
least
give
us
a
baseline
for
better
understanding
one
another
and
where
you
know
our
philosophies
are.
G
What
what
I
think
might
work
with
that
too,
and
maybe
this
is
coming
from
my
background,
as
a
teacher
is,
if
we
can,
you
know
if
we
find
an
article
or
or
a
you
know,
a
a
template
that
we
think
represents.
You
know
something
good.
We
can
share
that
ahead
of
time
so
that
we're
coming
to
the
table
with
at
least
some
foundation
of
of
examples
or
or
talking
something
to
start
the
conversation
that
we've
all
had
you
know
experience.
G
A
A
Would
often
bring
things
back
from
the
u.s
conference
of
mayors
that
we
would
discuss,
maybe
a
program
that
somebody
else
is
doing
and
how
it
worked
well
and
then
also
some
of
the
pitfalls,
but
I
think
we
could
start
with
a
meeting
that
maybe
talked
about.
A
You
know
some
primary
subjects.
I
mean
one
of
the
things
that
I've
asked.
Mr
horn
and
I
want
to
put
on
the
agenda.
Is
I
still
want
to
talk
about
some
of
our
planning
and
zoning
issues,
specifically
where
two
zones
meet?
I.
I
continue
to
believe
that
is
one
of
the
areas
that
we
have
had
issues.
C
A
You
talk
about
this
alf
backing
up
to
a
residential
area.
I
think
those
have
been
where
the
conflicts
have
been
and
we
did
address
that
on
north
beach
as
we
kind
of
reduced
intensity
and
density
as
we
worked
towards
the
acacia
circle
back
in
the
day,
but
I
think
it's
worthy
of
the
discussion,
because
when
it's
a
zoning
area,
that's
in
the
middle
of
a
white
zoning
area,
we
tend
not
to
have
issues.
G
There's
some
other
topics
yeah.
I
when
you
talk
about
the
strategic
plan
and
do
we
want
to
put
it
off
because
we
can't
get
enough
community
input.
I
think
that's
a
valid
concern,
but
I
mean
I
think
you
know
revisiting
that
strategic
plan
and
improving
it
is
critical
and
I
you
know
I
I
don't
want
to
put
it
off
for
too
long.
I
am
aware
that
largo
has
sent
out
some
kind.
G
I
think
they're
in
the
beginning
stages
of
revisiting
their
strategic
plan
and
they
have
sent
out
digital
surveys
to
residents
and-
and
you
know-
and
I
don't
know
what
our
response
rate
has
been
on
some
of
those
kinds
of
things,
but
I
I
just
you
know
if
we're
not
going
to
be
meeting
until
there's
a
vaccine
I
and
it
gets
distributed
and
administered
and
all
that
stuff-
I
I
don't
you
know,
I
don't
think
we
should
put
this
off
until
the
middle
of
next
year
or
something
like
that.
I
don't
know.
A
M
Yeah
I
wanted
to
talk
about
when
we
will
be
discussing
the
lining
with
the
we're
lining
clearwater
with
the
new
county
wide
development
code.
I
know
that
came
they
changed
that
the
end
of
last
year.
I
thought
we
were
going
to
act
on
it
after
the
first
of
the
year.
I
understand
that
it's
in
staff
is
looking
at
it
now,
but
I
don't
really
know
where
we
are
with
it.
I
think
it's
something
that
we
need
to
be
discussing
because
it
does.
M
And
you
know,
staff
has
told
me
well,
we
don't
really
need
to
to
do
that
because
right
now
we
can.
If
somebody
asks
us
we
can.
We
can
make
something
work,
but
you
know
a
lot
of
times
when
a
developer
is
looking
at
a
project,
they
aren't
going
to
call
the
city
they're
just
going
to
look
at
the
code
and
see
what's
what
will
be
allowed
and
what.
O
M
So
I'd
like
to
have
that
brought
up
where
we
can
discuss
it
and
get
an
update
on
that
and
see
if
we
can
move
forward.
A
M
I
I
Just
going
back
to
council
member
beckman's
suggestions
that
we
get
to
know
each
other
better,
I
don't
know
if
this
is
table
two
because
of
covet
19,
but
I
know
there
had
been
talk
about
a
retreat
for
all
of
us,
not
traveling,
to
tahiti,
but
getting
a
a
room,
a
boardroom
or
something
in
town
here,
so
we
can
just
gather
it
and
and
get
to
know
one
another.
So
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there.
It
sounds
like
a
good
idea.
A
I
think
that's
the
discussion
more
or
less
on
philosophy,
and
I
think
we
can
agenda
that.
What
I
want
to
kind
of
do
is
narrow
it
down
to
some
specific
topics.
A
You
know
maybe
five
to
seven
different
topics
that
are
kind
of
overarching
themes
that
we
can
talk
about.
I
mean
I
think
that
would
include
development
business,
how
we
interact
with
other
agencies,
what
we
believe
the
responsibility
of
the
city
is
versus
our
partners,
because
we
often
partner
with
other
organizations
to
accomplish
a
task.
The
city
believes
is
important.
A
We
used
to
say
we
don't
have
to
do
it
all.
We
just
have
to
make
sure
it
gets
done,
which
means
that
sometimes
we
can
partner
with
somebody
else
who
has
better
expertise
in
a
specific
area,
but
we
can
help
facilitate
or
support
you
know.
So
I
would
think
environmental
issues
would
be
something
that
we
could
talk
about
social
issues.
So
you
know
there's
five
or
seven.
