Thank
you
so
much
Denise
Anderson,
Economic,
Development
and
housing.
This
is
really
kind
of
a
cleanup
of
the
current
agreement
that
we
have
as
an
amendment
to
the
agreement.
It
effectively
clears
up
some
language
in
the
agreement,
as
it
relates
to
arpa
the
the
sub
or
the
the
contract
with
Canal's
Community
Foundation.
As
you
know,
it
includes
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
which
were
receded
as
revenue
recovery.
E
The
organization
is
actually
managing
our
actual
Arco
dollars
for
on
on
other
contracts,
and
so
their
auditor
suggested
that
we
amend
the
language
to
clarify
for
a
future
audit.
Additionally,
we
amended
some
terms,
as
you
may
recall,
we
discussed
in
December
having
the
contractor
be
able
to
pull
administrative
funds
up
to
10
percent
of
real
and
actual
funds.
E
This
really
just
allows
them
to
draw
down
contracts
at
the
time
that
they
execute
agreements
and
then
they
can
submit
for
administrative
funds
as
they
pay
on
those
contracts
for
the
where
with
their
sub
grantees,
so
so
cleanup
gives
them
a
little
bit
more
cash
flow.
Otherwise,
some
pretty
basic
stuff
in
here
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Any.
F
Good
morning
Brian
Langdale
executive
director
for
Clearwater
gas
system,
this
agreement
is
with
Pinellas
County.
It
allows
us
to
go
on
to
their
property,
which
is
adjacent
to
our
gas,
complex
property
at
400
Myrtle,
and
we
can
do
monetary
well,
samplings
and
installations,
as
we
need
to
do
that.
This
is
associated
with
our
former
manufacturer
gas
plant
site
where
we
have
the
coltar
contamination
in
the
ground.
So
this
is
just
a
renewal
to
allow
us
to
have
access
to
their
facilities.
Any.
G
Good
morning,
mayor
council,
members,
arcade
or
Parks
and
Recreation,
the
item
before
you
now
is
for
the
replacement
and
relocation
of
some
playground
equipment
at
Ross
and
Horton
complex.
G
Basically,
the
playground
is
up
for
replacement
needs
to
be
replaced,
and
so
normally
we
would
replace
it
in
the
same
location.
However,
if
you've
been
to
this
site,
you've
noticed
that
the
playground
is
very
close
to
the
road,
and
we
have
some
programs
that
are
actually
in
the
Ross
Norton
Center,
where
jwb
funds
and
they
have
requested
that
the
playground
be
closer
to
the
center.
So
the
children
will
have
to
go
across
parking,
lots
and
other
things.
So
we
are
relocating
the
playground
actually
to
the
west
of
the
center
in
the
back.
G
It
will
still
be
open
to
the
public
during
the
day
and
be
available.
They'll
also
be
available
for
all
of
our
programming.
The
city
Economic
Development
housing
department
has
allocated
185,
000
Grant
of
cdvg
funds
for
this
project
and,
in
addition,
the
reason
why
the
the
cost
is
very
high
for
a
playground
replacement
is
that
we're
now
doing
our
first
support
in
place
playground.
What
that
is,
is
a
rubberized
surface
rather
than
having
to
use
the
church
and
mulch
fiber
that
we've
used
in
the
past.
This
type
of
surface
is
very
resilient.
G
It's
sustainable
it's
easier
to
clean.
It
gives
you
a
surface
that
allows
the
children
to
have
a
fall
surface.
That
will
be
there
and
you
can
depend
on
it
rather
than,
as
you
know,
mulch
gets
moved
around
and
then
you
only
have
a
very
small
forward:
surface
and
you're,
not
in
compliance
with
playground,
safety
regulations,
together
with
the
cdbg
funding.
H
G
Only
place
we
have,
that
would
be,
and
it's
a
different
product,
but
it
is
that
BayCare
ballpark
there.
I
G
H
G
It's
over
near
the
with
a
tiki
bar
is
over
that.
H
Corner,
okay
and
then
all
right,
so
I
was
also
wondering
about
how
how
will
it
hold
up
in
the
sun,
because
I
know
that
playground
is
to
the
west
and
I'm.
Wondering
and
I
understand
that
you
can
choose
the
color
of
the
surface
so
number
one?
How
would
it
hold
up
in
the
Sun
and
number
two?
Are
you
gonna
choose
a
color,
that's
a
little
lighter,
so
it
doesn't
absorb
the
heat
as.
G
Much
but
I
think
the
color
was
blue,
but
we're
also
pretty
near
shade
structures.
I
know
that's
a
big
issue
on
all
of
our
playgrounds.
We
have
26
of
them.
I
get
requests
all
the
time
for
shade
structures.
We
are
putting
a
shade
structure
over
partially
over
with
this
player.
H
It
looked
like
two
shade
structures:
is
it
only
one
there's
only
one,
only
one:
okay,
all
right
and
then
and
then
I
had
a
question
about.
H
Let's
see,
okay,
so
it
talks
about
the
product
and
I
was
wondering
you
know
and
again
I,
don't
know
how
far
you
are
along
in
the
in
the
planning.
But
can
you
incorporate
into
that
chord
structure?
It
looked
the
poured
surface
like
Hopscotch
or
Foursquare,
or
anything
like
that
that
the
kids
can
use.
That's
already.
You
know
it's
looks
like
you
can
do
a
design
on
it.
It
probably
costs
a
little
bit
more,
but.
G
A
G
Your
idea
is
exactly
what
we're
going
to
do:
we're
actually
going
to
move
it
into
another
area
in
the
park,
but
certainly
could
be
right
there
on
there.
One
of
the
issues
with
playgrounds
is
you
have
to
have
enough
room
for
fall
surfaces,
and
so
you
can't
put
things
you
know
to
the
surface.
So
when,
if
there's
room,
we
can
certainly
look
at
that
and.
H
Are
you
incorporating
or
are
you
well,
are
you
incorporating
any
cutouts
at
all
for
trees
so
that
we
can
maybe
get
some
shade
on
that
playground?
Aside
from
the
awning.
G
No,
we
will
have
trees,
not
in
the
playground,
but
on
the
perimeter
of
the
playground,
we'll
be
there.
Our
reasoning
for
that
and
we've
seen
this
everywhere
we
go
once
you
have
trees
in
with
shade,
which
is
nice.
When
you
have
to
replace
that
playground,
you
cannot
replace
it
in
the
same
place.
Otherwise
you
can
kill
the
trees,
because
you
do
so
much
damage
to
the
root
structure.
G
Absolutely
we
did
that
several
months
ago,
not
only
with
the
kids,
but
we
all
did
it
with
all
the
staff
members
too.
We
allowed
them
to
select
really
the
playground,
something
that
they
might
like
and
want
those
types
of
fantastic.
We
also
went
to
the
homeowners
association
they're
very
well
aware
of
this
and
they're
excited
about
it.
Great.
H
G
K
Don't
we
have
a
similar
type
of
surface
in
the
new
Coachman
playground?
G
K
I
gotta
say
when
I
was
looking
through
the
list
of
of
things
we're
buying
for
the
playground.
I
saw
wobble
pod
Lolly
ladder,
swiggle
knots,
I'm
very
glad
you,
you
included
some
photos
of
what
these
things
are.
Okay,
very.
A
Yeah
just
a
comment
that
price
shocked
me
actually
and
I
started
looking
at
the
specifications
moving,
it
I
understand
added
the
price
to
it
and
then
the
base
that
you're
putting
down
the
rubberized
base
I
like
that
better
I,
took
a
tour
Friday
of
the
park
and
and
saw
the
rubberized
base.
They
had
there
very
nice,
it's
almost
like
a
you,
can
almost
jump
up
and
down
on
the
spring
up
in
the
air
I
mean
it's
got
a
lot
of
play
to
it.
A
The
the
one
document
that
says,
Ross
Norton,
gives
a
list
of
the
different
things
that
are
going
in.
A
And
we're
piggybacking
on
really
the
to
buy
those
that
equipment
we're
pigging
back
on
a
on
a
another
contract,
I
guess
for
Clay
County.
Yes,
we
are
I
kind
of
went
through
that
a
little
bit
but
kind
of
lost,
because
I
didn't
see
how
it
exactly
I,
guess
all
the
rest
of
it.
The
boilerplate
stuff
is
in
there
but
the
actual
stuff
that
we
are
buying
a
gate,
the
name
of
the
manufacturers,
but
that
might
be
different.
What
they're
than
what
they're
buying
is
that
correct?
That's.
A
G
A
G
Yes,
we
probably
would
not
have
done
that.
Had
we
not
have
the
185
000
in
the
grand
to
be
quite
honest
with
you,
however,
we
need
to
start
somewhere
and
we
started
downtown
with
this
I
mean
we've
really
said.
You
know
serious
about
sustainability
and
those
other
things
you
will
see.
Another
item
come
before
you
about
mulch
how
much
money
we
spend
every
year
on
mulch
for
our
26
playgrounds.
G
Rk
are
Parks
and
Recreation
the
agenda
item.
This
is
generally
before
you
today
is
to
consider
the
ranking
of
firms
for
possible
negotiation
with
the
Philadelphia
Phillies
on
February,
the
28th
23
request
for
proposal
for
professional
service
negotiation
with
MLB
teams
was
released
on
March
30th
23.
The
city
received
four
proposals
which
were
evaluated
by
a
valuation
committee.
G
Three
of
the
firms
were
asked
to
come
back
and
to
answer
some
additional
questions,
and
after
that
a
ranking
with
a
committee
are
as
follows:
ccca
a
icon,
HR
and
a
advisors
and
Ray
Robinson
staff
is
requesting
the
approval
of
these
rankings
in
order
to
be
able
to
negotiate
with
CAA
icon
to
provide
professional
negotiation
services
from
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Okay,.
H
I
get
art,
okay,
so
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
this
kind
of
came
up
when
we
were
doing
our
venue
manager
about
what
and
I
asked
whether
or
not
people
contacted
references
did
you
contact
did
so
you
and
Michael
Delk
and
Jay
Ravens
were
the
Review
Committee
correct.
Did
you
guys
contact
any
of
the
references
that
were
listed
from
our
from
the
respondents.
H
G
H
The
other
problem
I
had
with
some
of
the
references
well
number
one.
They
listed
Mr
hallios
as
a
reference
that
he
doesn't
work
here
anymore,
but
they
did
indicate
that
he
was
former,
but
what
I
wanted
or
what
I'm
thinking
of
is
and,
and
certainly
icon
has
you
know
a
ton
of
National
experience
of
really
high
level
of
Sports
Affiliated
venues
and
things
like
that,
but
do
they
have
one
which
is
a
spring
training
venue,
a
spring
training
location
that
also
has
a
beach
or
other
amenities
that
draw
people
to
the
area?
G
H
And
then
the
cost
here
will
be
between
like
105
and
200.
000
looks
like
from
page
25
of
the
contract.
It
starts
at
105
for
three
months.
Yes
and
then,
if
we
add
on
other
fillings,
I
mean
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
a
proposal
and
certainly
icon
seems,
like
you
know,
an
incredibly
reputable
and
capable.
H
Company
to
do
this,
I
just
I,
just
question
our
process
and
whether
or
not
we
can
do
better
with
giving
points
for
an
applicant
that
simply
lists
references
to
me.
It's
like
your
job
application.
Your
list,
references,
it's
like
okay,
I
can
make
up
names,
but
having
a
conversation
is,
is
pretty
important.
I
think.
H
L
I,
if
I
made
councilman,
we've
not
started
negotiating
with
anybody
yet
right.
So
once
we
get
your
authority
to
enter
into
negotiations
with
these
groups
and
we
get
further
along
in
that
we
may
narrow
the
selection,
then
we'll
do
some
additional
due
diligence
on
those
individual
firms,
but
I
mean
clearly
they.
They
provided
a
lot
of
background
of
broad
diversity
of
experience
and,
to
some
extent,
all
three
firms
did
so
the
process
is
really
at
the
Forefront,
not
at
the
at
the
end.
Yet
well.
L
M
Good
morning,
Dad
started
with
the
police
department.
This
item,
for
you
is
to
conduct
a
to
hire
a
noise
consultant
to
help
us
identify
and
evaluate
and
construct
some
of
the
mitigation
strategies,
but
the
respect
to
the
sound
operating
in
The
Coachman
Park.
We
released
RFP
1323
in
early
December
and
reviewed
all
of
the
respondents
on
February
1st.
There
were
four
respondents.
The
categories
of
how
we
evaluated
it
were.
30
percent
was
for
experience
of
the
firm
and
the
staff
and
30
was
for
project
methodology.
25
was
for
references
and
15
was
for
cost.
M
The
three
companies
that
submitted
proposals
were
receiving
rolling,
will
work
and
Associates
and
Dudek
and
resource
systems.
Group
The,
the
Review
Committee
has
recommended
and
selected
or
selected
and
recommended
sieben.
They
are
one
of
the
pretty
much
industry
experts
in
this
particular
field
through
the
evaluation.
Many
of
the
things
that
that
was
interesting
or
items
that
we
we
liked
in
their
proposal
was
they
had
an.
M
With
the
architectural
design,
which
we
believe
will
be
a
component
of
what
we
have
to
deal
with,
certainly
their
methodology
was
very
strong
in
making
sure
that
they
identified
the
stakeholders
that
were
impacted
and
tried
to
find
that
unique
balance
between
the
park,
the
public
businesses
and
all
components
they
have
their
project
methodologies
broken
up
into
basically
six
phases.
The
first
one
would
involve
just
a
kickoff
site
visit
and
kind
of
working
towards
a
review
of
the
literary
documents
phase
two
would
get
into
the
stakeholder
meetings
can
prepare
for
the
soundscape
study.
M
That
is,
you
know,
using
acoustic
devices
to
measure
sound
and
understand
its
full
Behavior.
M
Then
it
would
move
into
reviewing
those
that
data
and
the
acoustical
con
conflicts,
but
also
reviewing
the
gis
data
and
understanding
what
the
particular
buildings
are
in
the
particular
area,
how
they're
constructed
and
how
they
will
react
to
sound
and
from
there
we'll
get
reviews
on
our
ordinances
and
policies
and
potential
codes
on
how
we
can
best
create
a
symbiotic
relationship
along
with
measurement
tools,
so
that
we
can
kind
of
have
a
system
in
place
that
we
can
have
a
continual
monitoring
so
that
we're
not
are
very
proactive
in
trying
to
stay
within
compliance
of
the
policies
that
we
end
up.
M
Establishing
they
make
recommendations
for
sound
proofing
as
well
and
acoustical
improvements
that
can
be
either
utilized
in
new
construction
or
potentially
retrofit
as
well,
and
then
work
towards
a
final
report.
The
whole
process
is
supposed
to
take
26
weeks,
and
so
we
hope
to
have
it
done
by
December.
We
did
start
this
process
early
and
initially
released
this
as
an
informal
RFP
with
a
50
000
budget.
So
it
could
be
done
at
the
city
managers
Authority
and
once
we
got
two
proposals,
one
from
Steven
and
one
for
from
the
Roland
company.
M
So
we
have
recommended
Stephen
and
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Preemptively,
maybe
jump
and
answer
the
one.
We
did
not
contact
the
references
other
than
casually
talk
to
people
have
used
this
company
before
they've
been
used
by
Dunedin.
They
have
been
used
by
stantec
in
the
initial
design
of
the
amphitheater
as
well,
for
not
for
the
exterior
environment
but
for
the
interior
environment.
So
they
are
a
group
that
has
experience
with
Coachman,
Park
already
and
imagine
Clearwater
and
some
of
their
data.
M
We
would
like
to
Leverage
leverage
to
have
a
front
side
too,
but
this
process
also
will
allow
them
to
analyze
data
in
the
real
world
environment.
Once
the
parts
open
they'll
be
able
to
monitor
some
concerts
and
see
how
that
reflective
impacts,
Island
Estates,
the
library,
Water's
Edge
and
some
of
the
surrounding
properties-
okay,
we're
gonna,
have
to
answer
your
questions.
M
Sir,
so
to
study
referred
to
I
reviewed
it
as
well,
and
the
much
of
the
data
in
there
is
from
speculation,
because
the
amphitheater
was
not
built
yeah
and
the
sound
system
was
not
established,
and-
and
so
so,
this
is
actually
you're
kind
of
building
on
that
original
building
block.
A
lot
of
that
study
was
even
more
designed
for
the
user
experience
for
the
person
sitting
in
the
seat
to
make
sure
that
the
sound
acoustically
favorable
for
concerts.
M
A
Thing
I
noticed
when
I
did
take
the
tour
Friday
I
was
looking
up
at
the
roof
from
the
inside
and
and
I
did
ask
I
said:
why
is
the
main
part
of
the
roof
like
thicker
than
the
other
little
wings
on
the
side,
and
they
said
because
there's
an
extra
layer
of
sound
dampening
material
there,
which
I
thought
well,
that's
good
I
mean
I
was
just
blown
away
that
it
seemed
like
everything
they
did
in
that
Park.
They
had
two
to
three
people.
A
M
Yes,
absolutely
the
you
know,
the
the
impact
of
sound
on
the
public
is
the
factors
that
you
just
described,
but
also
by
the
level
of
programming
too
right.
So
the
frequency
is
a
factor
right
right,
and
so
that's
all
of
this
and
one
of
the
interesting
things
about
this
particular
company
is.
Is
they
really
do
a
good
balance
of
trying
to
they'll?
M
Tell
you
we're
trying
to
you
know
maximize
the
use
of
your
part,
but
also
minimize
the
impact
on
the
public
and
find
that
sweet
spot
balance
not
just
sit
there
and
say
this
sound
levels
where
you
want
to
be
it's,
it's
a
pretty
comprehensive.
M
Well,
now,
full
disclosure-
they
are
the
most
expensive
but
out
of
the
four
but
get
what
you
pay
for
it's
important
to
get
it
right,
so
I
believe
so.
B
A
B
K
B
J
I
just
started
with
city
of
Clearwater.
This
is
my
second
week
I'll
be
working
as
a
lead
engineering,
specialist
for
traffic
control,
division
I'm,
accompanied
by
my
manager,
Mr
Omar,
and
we
are
going
to
present
about
the
purchase
order
for
the
online
system,
approve
your
purchase
order
to
economize

Section.
H
J
So
this
this
school
Proverbs
74
locations
which
are
not
connected.
H
H
B
C
So
we're
starting
incrementally
small
here
with
these
grants.
I
have
three
before
you
today.
This
is
the
first
of
them
and
golf
cart
is
a
bit
of
a
misnomer,
we're
replacing
a
37
year
old
troop
golf
cart
with
a
electric
car
forward,
four-seater
forward
facing
and
the
benefit
to,
that
is
to
move
passengers
around
move
our
teams
around
for
inspections
and
it's
a
lot
less
impactful
than
driving
a
vehicle
around
the
facility
driving
over
the
grass
replacing
a
37
year
old
model
is
long
overdue.
C
This
is
an
80
percent,
funded
Grant
from
fdot.
The
price
of
the
card
is
17,
000
fdot
is
contributing
13
600
and
our
reserves
are
providing
thirty
four
hundred
dollar
match
that
will
be
reimbursed
by
fly.
Usa.
H
Super
excited
to
hear
it's:
electric
Mr
Gandy,
that's
great!
It's
just
for
use
for
this
city
employees
right
not.
C
The
USA
yes,
so
so
we
provide
that
cart
at
the
facility.
We
always
have
1986
when
the
original
one
went
out
there
and
it
it.
We
both
use
that
to
a
facility
take
a
look
at
do
our
Audits
and
it's
just
less
impactful,
so
it's
helpful
and
then
they
can
use
it
to
transport
clients
from
aircraft
and
things
like
that.
The
the
the
requirement
of
the
grant,
though
it
must
stay
there,
can't
leave.
The
air
park,
has
to
be
used
for
that
purpose
to
facilitate
those
operations
right.
C
As
I
said,
we're
moving
up
the
ladder
incrementally
on
these
grants,
just
a
little
history
on
the
grants.
While
we
were
negotiating
with
fly
USA,
we
really
we
sat
on
some
of
these,
not
knowing
what
things
would
what
things
would
look
like,
ultimately
in
terms
of
the
agreement,
so
as
soon
as
we
got
confirmation
that
we're
moving
ahead
with
that
lease
agreement,
we
start
pursuing
these
grants
relatively
quickly.
This
is
a
big
one.
I
have
a
disclaimer
with
this
grant.
C
This
is
for
the
design
of
the
new
terminal
building
in
your
package
in
the
granite
agreements.
There's
an
image
of
a
terminal
I've
already
had
to
field
some
questions
related
to
that
image.
The
grant
requirement
requires
us
to
import
an
image
of
a
terminal,
so
we
found
general
aviation
terminal
equip
it.
Hopefully
it
wasn't
copyrighted
and
put
it
in
the
grant.
C
So
so,
ultimately,
that's
where
the
image
came
from.
That
is
unlikely
to
be
what
our
again.
This
is
an
80
percent
Grant
funded
by
fdot.
The
total
project
cost
is
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
they're,
giving
us
two
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
for
this
project
and
we
are
providing
a
match
of
60
000
with
fly
USA
reimbursing
us
for
that
match.
B
C
And
finally,
we
have
another
joint
participation
agreement,
Grant
that
involves
the
melon
overlay
simply,
but
we
participate
in
a
pavement
management
plan
with
fdot
and
they
come
out
and
inspect
airports
all
the
participants
and
I
think
there's
probably
90
to
100
of
them
throughout
the
State
of
Florida.
They
participate
in
the
program
they
come
and
evaluate
all
the
pavement
and
the
conditions
and
make
recommendations
on
maintenance
replacement
and
things
of
that
nature.
This
was
a
capital
project
we
knew
this
was
coming
down.
C
The
line
we've
we've
passed
on
it
over
a
few
years
and,
like
I,
told
you
early
on
in
my
tenure,
safety
is
critical
and
it's
really
important
that
we
stay
on
top
of
those
kind
of
issues
out
there,
and-
and
this
is
designed
to
address
that
in
those
areas
that
the
pavement
management
plan
has
identified
as
problematic.
So
again,
this
is
an
80
Grant.
The
estimated
project
cost
is
2
million,
fdot
is
contributing,
1.6
million
and
reserves
are
providing
a
400
000
match.
C
This
is
a
significant
project.
It
will
involve
a
lot
of
the
taxi
waves
that
deteriorated
and
I.
Think
it's
just
a
critical
issue
to.
C
I
told
you,
you
know,
the
margins
have
always
been
tight
out
there,
we're
not
from
these
fdot
grants
throughout
the
years
it
it's
really
the
difficult
model
to
sustain.
This
is
all
on
the
city
and
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
and
we've
needed
to
do
it
for
a
long
time.
It
does
eat
into
our
Reserve
significantly,
but
that's
the
cost
of
running
a
general
aviation
reliever
airport
that
we
have
out
there
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
Yes,.
C
It's
it's
I
think
we
have
700
000
square
feet
of
of
taxiways
runways
and
things
of
that
nature
by
their
by
their
estimates,
and
they
evaluate
every
component
of
it
and
they
shave
those
areas
needing
attention
in
different
color
Shades.
The
runways
are
in
good
shape
now,
so
we
don't
need
to
address
those,
and
this
is
all
the
apron
or
tarmac
areas
and
taxiways,
loose
gravel
depressions
things
like
that,
and
some
of
it's
a
million
overlay
where
they
actually,
actually,
you
know,
attack
the
surface
and
and
then
replace
it.
A
So,
can
you
tell
me
again
just
to
clarify
it?
What
size,
airplane
or
aircraft
can
use
an
asphalt,
Runway
versus
a
concrete
Runway?
Well.
C
I
won't
draw
the
distinction
between
the
two
and
but
out
there.
We're
looking
at
about
12
500
pounds
is,
is
roughly
the
size
of
aircraft
twin
engines,
King
airs
single
engine,
Pilatus
turbo
props
things
of
that
nature
to
eight
nine
Place
aircraft.
Generally
speaking,.
O
Good
morning
my
name
is
Jeremy
Brown
I'm,
the
engineering
manager
for
public
utilities.
This
item
is
for
reclaimed
water
improvements
at
various
locations
throughout
the
city.
The
work
includes,
but
it's
not
limited
to
looping
Mains,
which
is
basically
tying
different
areas
together,
replacing
broken
Valves
and
installing
replacing
service
lines
after
looping
the
dead
end
Mains
we'll
also
construct
new
service
lines.
Many
residents
along
those
areas
will
soon
have
access
to
reclaimed
water.
With
that
I
thought.
I'd
put
the
picture
up
so
Folks
at
home
can
see
these
areas.
O
That's
area
G
we're
replacing
all
the
service
lines
up
there,
so
the
existing
ones
are
made
of
this
rigid
material.
It's
a
it's.
A
kitech
brand
is
what
I'm
told
and
it's
easily
tracks
and
breaks
and
they're
more
difficult
to
repair,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
replacing
all
those
with
more
of
the
polyethylene.
That's
more
flexible.
O
Well,
our
goal
is
to
minimize
disruptions,
we're
we're
going
to
be
working
on
the
contractor
to
try
to
work,
maybe
from
north
to
south,
making
sure
that
we're
we're
making
public
aware
of
it,
making
sure
everybody's
access
to
their
to
their.
You
know
facilities
or
their
their
but
yeah.
Our
goal
is
to
minimize
disruptions.
O
H
That's
fine,
I
mean
I.
Just
are
you
going
to
be
digging
up
streets?
Are
they
you
know?
Are
you
going
to
have
streets
that
are
closed
and
what's
the
time
frame
I
mean
just?
You
were
so
good
about
preparing
the
people
on
Stampede
about
that
you
know
work
you
did
out
there.
Are
you
giving?
Are
you
working
with
the
residents
out
there
to
let
them
know
what's
going
on
and
what's
the
time
frame.
O
We
haven't
at
this
time
we
certainly
can
we're
definitely
going
to
be
notifying
them
with
door,
hangers
and
whatnot
and,
as
I
said,
we're
going
to
be
working
with
our
contractor
this
contractor.
Actually
they
are
also
contract
with
us
for
our
Wastewater
collection
system
program.
They
do
all
of
our
police
water
repair
it
not
all,
but
the
majority
of
what
we
saw
repairs
we've
had
a
lot
of
success
with
them.
They've
had
very
few
disruptions.
O
O
Yeah,
it's
just
the
service
line.
It's
the
part
that
goes
from
the
main:
that's
either
in
the
road
or
adjacent
to
the
road.
To
your
your
meter,
okay,
yeah
now
I
mean
there
will
be
a
situation
where
maybe
the
lines
on
one
side
of
the
road
and
someone
on
the
other
side
of
the
road.
You
see
a
third
line
in
place,
yeah,
so
they're
going
to
be
going
across
the
road
yeah.
O
But
what's
important,
though,
is
we've
been
working
with
our
storm
water
with
Public
Works
division,
they've
been
holding
off
repaving
this
area
for
us
to
go
and
do
this
project,
and
so
at
the
end,
I
think
I
was
told
somewhere,
late,
2023
or
possibly
early
2024
is
when
they're
going
to
go
in
after
us
and
resurface.
The
entire
area.
O
O
A
A
O
P
Partner
director
of
Public
Utilities
that
that's
the
Mandalay
Point
area
right
yeah
and
we're
replacing
the
water
lines,
TLC
is
doing
that
under
one
of
our
other
contracts
and
we're
working
with
the
community.
The
community
wants
the
they're
unseptic.
Now
they
want
to
convert
the
sewer
and
so
they'll
have
to
lay
a
line
and
we're
trying
to
work
with
them
to
pave
it
once
so.
We're
not
Paving
it
multiple
times.
A
You're
on
septic
North,
yes,
Mandalay.
Q
They're
yeah.
Q
F
Q
O
Yeah
exactly
so
that's
the
same
company
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
They
have
I
think
it's
around
a
15..
We
have
a
32
million
dollar
contract
with
contractors.
15
million
of
that
goes
to
Roland.
So
as
we
speak
today,
they
have
two
or
three
crews
working
throughout
our
city
at
any
given
point
in
time,
and
so
we
actually
called
them
and
asked
about
that.
They
said
they're
perfectly
comfortable
because
they're
going
to
add
this
work
to
their
existing
workload
and
they're,
going
to
be
able
to
shuffle
troops
back
and
forth
as
necessary.
Q
P
Morning,
mayor
council,
Rich
Garner,
director
of
Public
Utilities,
but
Adam
before
you
today,
is
the
award
of
a
purchase
order
for
order
and
corrosion
control
chemicals
used
in
the
wastewater
treatment
process
to
Avoca
water
Technologies.
We
use
ferrous
sulfate
brand
name
autophos
and
hydrogen
peroxide
in
a
two-step
process
to
remove
hydrogen
sulfide
from
the
Wastewater
hydrogen
sulfide
causes
a
rotten
egg
odor
and
contributes
to
corrosion
of
pipes
and
structures
for
piggybacking
off
a
Lee
County
contract
with
a
vocal
in
the
amount
of
225
000
dollars
for
the
period
of
May
22.
P
2023
through
May
13
2024..
With
the
option
of
one
year.
We
know
I'm
asking
for
you
to
authorize
the
purchase
order
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
P
Morning,
Rich
Gardner.
The
item
before
you
today
is
for
a
purchase
order
to
apply
drilling
engineering
for
the
evaluation,
maintenance
and
mechanical
Integrity
testing
of
our
groundwater,
Source
Wells
for
the
water
treatment
plants
where
we
currently
have
44
Source
water
wells
for
the
city's
three
water
training
plants.
This
contract
will
help
us
maintain
those
Wells
apply.
Drilling
was
the
lowest
of
four
bidders
for
this
project.
The
purchase
order
will
be
for
941
437.
P
H
H
P
P
H
P
Not
they're
not
environmental
hazards.
If,
if
we
had
a
well
and
we're
closing
it,
we
abandon
it
properly
through
the
process
defined
by
dep
okay.
P
P
It
doesn't
we're
we're
in
the
process
of
Designing,
more
and
Wells.
Currently
water
plant
two
ro2
does
not
have
enough
Source
Wells
to
be
fully
operational,
so
we're
working
on
trying
to
increase
the
number
of
Wells
is.
P
We'll
we'll
always
purchase
order
from
the
county,
hopefully
they're,
not
listening,
but
it
not
only
does
it
give
us
a
supply,
but
in
in
cases
of
emergency,
if
we
have
to
shut
a
plant
down,
we
have
that
resource
available,
but
we're
trying
to
reduce
the
amount
that
we
purchase
as
much
as
possible.
P
B
P
You
would
have
been
on
a
county
water
system
if
you're
getting
a
bill
from
the
county
right.
We
have
five
County
interconnects
where
automatically.
If,
if
the
water
we're
producing
decreases
automatically
that
increases
for
our
customers,
okay,.
B
N
Assistant
director
of
solid
rice
today,
we
are
looking
to
authorize
the
increase
of

B
R
Hi
good
morning,
mayor
and
Consul
I
did
want
to
provide
an
update,
although
these
updates,
as
we
demonstrated
at
our
last
meeting,
are
available
online
on
our
new
Recycling
website.
R
R
So
just
as
a
reminder
as
we
continue
to
move
through
as
to
how
we
process
our
recycling,
we're
going
to
continue
to
see
these
numbers
fluctuate
and
we
will
have
a
more
definitive
response
in
terms
of
what
we're
going
to
do
as
a
result
of
the
contamination
rate
and
where
those
contaminated
items
are
coming
from
so
additional
education
to
follow
as
we
go
through
this.
But
we
will
continue
to
see
it
rise
and
fall
as
we're
working
through
refining
our
process
and
making
sure
that
we
are
doing
this
in
the
absolute
best
manner.
R
As
we
discussed
previously,
we
were
diverting
some
of
the
recycling
that
we
knew
was,
and
we
have
stopped
that
there's
nothing
wrong
with
either
process.
We
even
reached
out
to
other
communities
to
see
how
they
handle
their
Recycling
and
it's
done
both
ways.
So
these
are
both
accepted
practices,
but
what
we
decided
on,
while
we
are
going
through
a
negotiation
for
a
vendor,
to
process
our
recycling,
that
we
were
going
to
send
everything
and
not
divert
it.
R
So
that's
why
you
see
a
change
in
that
also,
as
I
have
previously
discussed
with
each
of
you
individually,
we
were
notified
that
the
city
of
Safety,
Harbor
and
this
town
of
Bellaire
are
no
longer
utilizing
us
to
process
their
recyclables.
We
continue
to
maintain
a
very
positive,
healthy
relationship
with
both
of
those
entities.
So
it's
just
a
matter
of
that.
They
have
found
alternatives.
R
We
are
working
with
them
to
hear
what
their
alternatives
are
can
help
in
terms
of
coming
up
with
what
is
next
for
us,
and
the
last
update
that
I
have
as
it
relates
to
recycling,
is
that
we
continue
to
be
in
negotiations.
We
have
two
vendors
that
responded
to
our
request
to
negotiate
to
be
a
vendor
for
that,
and
we
do
continue
to
expect
to
have
a
report
with
our
consultant
coming
up
in
June
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Actually
I
apologize,
I
think
it's
July,
not
June.
R
And
then
I
have
one
other
item.
I
know
that
there's
been
some
questions
and
interest
from
the
public
as
it
relates
to
the
Old
City
Hall
site.
R
We
have
talked
about
this
in
terms
of
what
has
been
found
out
there
and
I
asked
our
city
engineer
to
provide
just
a
very
brief
update
in
terms
of
what's
going
on.
There.
I
Good
morning
city
engineer,
the
demo
is
progressing
they've,
wrapped
up
the
interior
demo
they've
started
demoing
the
exterior.
While
they
were
starting
that
process.
It
was
discovered
that
there
is
some
concrete
cladding
on
the
exterior
of
the
building
that
was
actually
over
the
standard,
concrete
block
and
in
between
that
there's
an
air
gap,
and
there
was
a
waterproofing
material
come
to
find
out.
The
waterproofing
material
contains
Asbestos,
and
that
was
not
discovered
during
the
traditional
pre-demolation
asbestos
survey.
I
That
was
done
so
in
the
next
few
weeks,
I'll
be
bringing
a
change
order
forward
for
you
on
that.
It's
costing
about
an
additional
175
000
to
the
project
and
adding
some
time
so
we're
looking
at
an
August
completion.
A
People
I
think
from
Water's
Edge
that
were
questioning
why
the
demolition
took
so
long
and
I
hadn't
talked
to
him
so
I
kind
of
requested
that
we
talk
about
this
on.
You
know
on
the
air,
so
they
could
maybe
refer
to
it.
You
know
whenever
you're,
finding
asbestos
or
especially
asbestos,
are
LED.
You
know
everything
stops
and
they
got
to
come
in
and
test,
and
then
they
got
to
come
in
and
take
that
out
using
a
whole
different
process
than
the
other
demolition
I
mean
they
bring
people
with
spacesuits.
A
I
B
Q
Mary
good
morning,
just
briefly
thank
you
for
everyone's
patience
with
me,
as
I
cover
from
shoulder
surgery.
I
appreciate
everyone's
support.
For
that
one
thing:
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
get
back
on
track
as
I'm.
Getting
back
to
the
swing
of
things
here
is
the
adjustment
to
council
meeting
times
before
I
went
out
for
surgery.
Q
We
talked
about
potentially
changing
the
work
session
meeting
times
to
move
to
an
afternoon,
and
so
now
that
I'm
back
I
want
to
confirm
that
that's
still
a
council's
desire,
if
so,
I'll
go
ahead
and
put
that
on
the
next
agenda,
which
would
be
June
5th,
and
so,
if
Council
prefers
on
the
June
5th
work
session,
agenda,
I'll
bring
forth
a
resolution
to
change
our
next
work
session
meeting
times
and
so,
instead
of
meeting
at
9
00
a.m.
Q
If
I
recall
correctly,
it
would
be
a
1pm
meeting
time
for
work
sessions,
but
I
wanted
to
confirm
that
that's
council's
desire
still
and
if
so
with
the
intention
be
for
the
CRA
meetings,
which
are
once
a
month
to
take
place
in
the
one
hour
before,
for
example,
does
council
want
to
have
the
CRA
meetings
at
noon?
Instead
of
you
know
the
usual
8
A.M
meet
time
for
cra.
B
H
Q
Would
I
would
certainly
I
would
I
would
prefer
that
baby
noticed
as
a
separate
start
time.
They
could
be
a
relatively
close
proximity,
but
because
they
are
two
different
entities,
my
I
would
agree
with
the
clarify.
My
preference
would
be
for
two
separate
meeting
times.
You
know
we
all
understand
that.
Sometimes
the
CRM
meetings
are
very
quick.
Sometimes
they
they
go
longer
and
that's
that's
okay,
but
I
would
just
my
suggestion
would
be
whatever
time
you'd
like
to
start
whatever.
That
is,
let's
start
from
there.
Q
So
in
other
words,
if
you
want
to
start
at
one
o'clock
or
something
then
I
would
say,
let's
start
the
CRA
meetings
at
one
o'clock
and
then
have
perhaps
work
sessions
noticed
for
1
30,
for
example,
that
runs
over
is
not
an
issue.
That's.
B
Q
I
have
a
point
that
that
should
not
be
necessary,
because
there's
only
one
Agency
on
the
park
and
I
have
discussed
this.
So
the
way
that
we're
envisioning,
it
will
simply
still
be
one
CRA
meeting
but
it'll
be
just
like
you
see
different
departments
and
so
just
imagine
different
departments
on
a
single
agenda.
Well,.
H
I
think,
with
that
in
mind,
I
would
I
would
suggest
on
the
the
one
time
a
month
where
we
have
overlap
a
CRA
meeting
in
conjunction
with
the
work
session
that
we
give
that
CRA
a
full
hour,
especially
because
Jay's
gonna
have
two
now
to
talk
about
rather
than
a
half
hour.
So
from
one
to
two
would
be
a
CRA
and
council
meeting
work
session
would
start
at
two
when
we
have
them
combined
I,
don't.
Q
Know,
if
that's
what
the
council
would
like
to
do,
we
certainly
can.
The
only
caution,
I
would
add.
Is
that
if
we
do
it
that
way,
let's
say
that
there's
a
relatively
quick
meeting
for
the
CRA,
so
we
convene
at
one
o'clock
and
let's
say,
there's
just
not
a
whole
lot
to
discuss
at
that
particular
meeting.
We
might
be
done
by
1
30
at
the
latest
and
you're
going
to
have
some
time,
because
we
won't
be
able
to
start
the
next
meeting
early.
B
In
concurrence,
okay,
all
right!
Thank
you
anything
else.
Yes,
sir,
hey
council,
member
Beckman,
how
long
will
your
presentations
take?
Do
you
think
a.
H
H
H
H
H
H
B
B
B
B
H
Thank
you.
Well,
I
did
not
choose
that
title
for
the
agenda
item,
although
I
appreciate
it
solving
homelessness,
so
I
sit
on
the
Continuum
of
Care
board,
which
is
a
county-wide
board
that
is
directed
by
heart.
H
The
COC
Continuum
of
Care
we've
decided,
as
I've,
moved
into
the
chair
position
this
year
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
so
I
I
was
on
the
consumer
of
care
for
my
first
two
years
of
or
yeah
two
years
and
well
actually
in
the
first
three
years
in
this
last
year,
now
I'm
moving
into
the
chair
position,
which
was
formerly
Sean,
King
who's,
the
legislative
representative
with
Habitat
for
Humanity.
H
When
we
had
our
meeting
in
early
January,
Kevin
Marone
is
the
CEO
of
bully
centers
and
he
suggested
that
you
know
the
Continuum
of
Care
people.
Don't
really
know
what
that
means.
Obviously
it's
a
Continuum
of
Care
that
you
provide
along
you
meet
people
where
they're
at,
but
he
suggested
we
put
solving
homelessness
in
front
of
it
and
I.
We
all
thought
that
that
was
a
good
idea.
H
So,
as
chair
now
in
the
documents
that
we
prepare
and
send
out,
we
include
solving
homelessness,
Continuum
of
Care,
obviously
we're
not
going
to
solve
it,
but
it's
Our
obligation
to
work
to
reduce
it,
and
you
should
know
that
in
Pinellas
County
the
Continuum
of
Care
has
adopted
a
housing
first
strategy,
which
means
that
we
don't
provide
funding
for
anyone
that
has
stipulations
on
giving
housing
to
people
as
in
you
need
to
be
sober
or
clean
or
whatever.
H
Before
you
get
housing,
it's
housing
first
and
then
you
can
work
on
what
other
challenges
you
may
have.
So
if
you
hear
something
called
housing
first,
that's
what
it
means
all
right.
So
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
update,
because
I
meet
multiple
times.
A
month
related
to
the
Continuum
of
Care,
their
mission
is
to
coordinate
with
Community
Partners
systems
and
resources
to
prevent,
divert
and
end
homelessness
in
pintless
County
and
the
Continuum
of
Care.
The
solving
homelessness
Continuum
of
Care
board
is
made
up
from
a
variety
of
leaders
throughout
our
our
County.
H
So
we
have
representatives
from
the
juvenile
welfare
board.
Multiple
cities
I'm
the
representative
from
Clearwater
Pinellas,
County,
Housing,
Authority,
Pinellas,
County,
school
board,
Pinellas,
County,
Commissioners,
homeless,
empowerment,
the
Pinellas
Community,
Foundation,
Doug
and
Cooley
is
on
our
executive
board,
who
worked
with
us
with
Capri
Mobile
Home
Park,
St,
Petersburg,
City,
Council,
Casa
city
of
Largo,
perk
Habitat
for
Humanity
directions
for
Living
PSTA
is
another
one,
a
big
one,
and
so
anyone
that
touches
homelessness
in
the
in
the
county
has
a
position
on
this
consume
of
care
board.
H
So
one
statistic
that
remains
stubbornly
consistent.
It's
the
easy
one
for
me
to
remember
is
generally.
We
have
140
families
that
are
living
in
their
cars
or
in
places
not
deemed
habitable
any
single
night
140
and
those
are
the
ones
that
we
know
about
because
they've
reached
out
for
some
type
of
services.
There
are
many
many
families
that
don't
reach
out
because
they're
afraid
of
losing
their
children,
so
you
can
remember
that
number
there
about
140
families
throughout
our
County
that
may
be
sleeping
in
cars
or
sleeping
on
floors,
all
right.
H
Here's
some
other
troubling
statistics
that
we
got
from
our
2022
data,
and-
and
this
is
really
important
to
understand.
So
these
continuous
continuums
of
care,
solving
homelessness,
continuums
of
care
are
throughout
the
nation.
You
can
imagine
that
the
ones
in
New
York,
City,
Seattle,
Portland,
Los
Angeles,
have.
H
Ginormous
problems:
we
are
not
in
that
classified
category
of
a
Continuum
of
Care,
so
we
are
in
other,
largely
Urban.
There
are
two
other
levels
of
Continuum
of
Care
that
deal
with
populations
far
greater
than
ours,
but
for
our
population
we
aren't
classified
as
other
largely
Urban,
and
our
2022
data
that
we
reviewed
in
March
at
our
COC
is
Pinellas.
County
is
first
in
the
nation,
with
a
number
of
veterans
experiencing
homelessness
at
310..
H
So
those
are
significant,
we're
in
the
top
five
nationally
for
our
size,
population
coc
for
those
four
first
in
the
nation,
with
number
of
veterans
experiencing
homelessness,
which
is
really
kind
of
surprising,
because
that's
the
venue
that
we
have
a
lot
of
resources,
for
there
are
a
lot
of
resources
available
for
veterans.
It's
just
working
with
them
and
matching
them.
H
So
clearly
we
have
a
problem
when
we
look
at
these
statistics,
this
data
and
the
need
to
partner
with
our
lead
organizations
in
the
county.
We
need
to
keep
in
mind
this
information
as
we
make
our
budgetary
decisions
this
year
and
you
know,
as
residents
continue
to
come
forward
to
advocate
for
more
options
and
for
Solutions.
We
need
to
support
them
and
I
know
that
we
had
the
Pinellas
County
Housing
compact,
which
we
signed.
H
Was
it
last
May
maybe
a
year
ago,
and
then
we
had
the
first
summit
on
housing
and
every
single
person
there
agreed
from
London
mayrocks.
You
went
to
London,
commissioner
Janet
long
went
to
London.
You
know
there
was
information
that
from
London
to
Clearwater
everywhere
in
the
nation.
It
is
a
housing
crisis
and
it
is
a
prior
it.
You
know
people
have
expressed
that
it's
a
priority.
So
again,
what
I'm
doing
is
communicating
to
you
about
the
most
vulnerable
and
the
ones
that
are
literally
homeless,
not
facing
eviction
but
literally
homeless.
H
So
the
solving
homelessness
Continuum
of
Care
in
Pinellas
County
met
in
conjunction
with
the
homeless
leadership.
Alliance
and
we've
set
our
priorities
for
funding
for
23
and
24.,
certainly
it's
homeless
prevention.
Every
piece
of
data
suggests
that
if
we
can
prevent
people
from
entering
the
system
of
homelessness,
we
save
money
once
they're,
evicted
and
their
belongings
are
on
the
curb
and
they're
in
shelter.
It
costs
us
way
more
money,
it's
more
traumatic
for
the
family
and
it
takes
longer
for
them
to
get
housed.
We
really
need
to
put
our
dollars
into
prevention.
H
We
also
need
to
focus
on
rapid
rehousing
with
a
focus
on
housing,
navigation
and
that's
where
I
think
we
should
think
about
allocating
some
of
our
general
funds
for
the
HLA
homeless,
leadership
Alliance
to
hire
a
housing
Navigator
or
a
landlord
liaison
just
for
Clearwater
residents
to
help
them
match
them
with
landlords
or
to
help
keep
them
in
their
homes,
and
so
that's
something
we
can
discuss
once
we
have
budgetary
decisions.
H
Permanent
Supportive
Housing
is
our
third
one.
Our
third
goal
and
permanent
Supportive
Housing
is
a
long-term
rental
or
leasing
assistance
and
Supportive
Services
wraparound
services
for
households
with
at
least
one
member,
a
child
or
adult
with
a
disability
that
in
achieving
housing
stability.
So
this
is
like
section
eight.
We
have
a
three
year,
wait
for
permanent
Supportive
Housing
in
this
County
three
years.
H
It's
unacceptable!
So
it's
one
of
our
priorities:
The
Joint
goals
of
funders
were
considered
a
funder.
Cities
are
funders,
the
state's
funder
counties,
the
jwb.
Those
are
funders
and
the
funders
get
together
with
the
providers
and
the
providers
are
Saint.
Vincent,
De,
Paul
directions
for
a
living,
Pinellas
hope
all
that
safety
Safe
Harbor
they
got
together
and
they
have
their
priorities
and
the
priorities
that
they
decide.
You
know
we
have
those
Services.
H
These
are
the
priority
populations,
families
and
show
with
children
in
infants
through
five
years
old
are
the
our
number
one
elderly
over
62,
which
you
should
understand,
is
the
fastest
growing
demographic,
that's
entering
homelessness,
elderly,
exponentially,
increasing
and
then
the
chronic
homeless
living
on
the
street
as
defined
by
Hud,
and
most
often
they
have
a
dual
diagnosis
of
mental
health
and
substance
abuse,
along
with
it's
like
a
no-brainer
that
they
all
experience,
trauma
which
is,
you
know,
takes
Special
Care,
unaccompanied
youth,
aging
out
of
foster
care
are
also
priority
population
as
well
as
vets,
and
we
have
as
the
solving
homelessness
Continuum
of
Care
and
overall
goal
of
reducing
homelessness
by
25
by
2025..
H
So
this
is
serious
work.
It's
serious
work
every
single
month.
So
what
can
clear
water
do?
How
can
we
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is?
If
we
agree
that
these
are
unacceptable
statistics,
we
hear
from
our
residents
that
they
are
struggling
I
think
we
need
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is.
With
respect
to
our
housing
crisis,
our
rental
crisis,
other
municipalities
are
stepping
up
and
I
think
that
we
should
too
and
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
a
couple
of
things.
So
this
is.
H
This
is
a
new
flyer
that
I
worked
with
Lieutenant
H
is
the
lieutenant
who
Sheriff
works
with
the
sheriff's
department
and
he's
in
charge
of
Safe
Harbor,
and
he
and
I
and
Monica
ilsnick
who's.
The
CEO
of
of
HLA
worked
on
this
handout.
That
kind
of
just
describes
the
face
of
homelessness
and
how
variety,
how
varied
it
is,
as
well
as
the
people
that
come
to
the
HLA
for
help.
H
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
is
this
is
HUD,
is
requiring
and
giving
points
for
having
people
with
limited
experience
as
part
of
our
committees
and
organization,
and
so
we
are
actively
reaching
out
to
people
who
have
experienced
homelessness.
First
of
all
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table.
It's
not
about
without
you
to
really
encourage
them
to
attend
our
meetings.
We
pay
for
them
to
get
there.
We
give
them
a
stipend
if
they
attend.
H
You
know
we
have
an
Outreach
meeting
that
we're
we're
hosting
the
other
thing.
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
and
I
did
share
this
with
you,
I
think
I
shared
it
via
email
and
just
said.
H
You
know
we
can't
comment
because
it
may
be
something
related
to
something
we
vote
on,
but
you
know
when
I
was
first
elected
I
learned
when
Bill
Horn
was
here
that
we
allocated
about
250
000
from
General
funds
for
like
over
the
last
decade,
for
some
social
services
in
our
community
and
you've
got
them
listed
right
here.
Apparently
this
year
we
have
a
an
increase
of
fifty
thousand
dollars.
H
But
when
we
look
at
other
municipalities,
you
can
look
at
you
know:
Saint
Pete,
which
again
it's
a
larger
City,
allocates
over
two
million
dollars
from
their
General
funds
for
social
supports
throughout
the
county.
They
have
a
seven
hundred
thousand
dollar
social
action
funding
program.
Largo
this
year
has
a
social
action
funding
program
that
they're
sending
out
a
notice
of
funding
availability
to
their
Partners.
H
We
don't
so
again,
I
think
we
need
to
understand
where
we're
at
what
the
need
is
and
what
we
can,
what
we
can
do,
how
we
can
be
leaders
in
the
community
to
help
those
who
are
most
vulnerable.
H
So
you
know
there's
that
and
I
just
have
two
others.
This
is
and
I
think
I.
Think
too
I
there's
a
link
on
when
I
communicated
to
you
to
the
Saint
Pete's
social
action,
funding,
announcement
and
application.
H
Again,
their
priorities
will
be
given
to
agencies
that
provide
services
for
and
again
it's
what
I
articulated
to
you
that
were
the
county-wide
priorities.
I
have
not
read
Largo's
notice
of
funding
availability,
but
it
is
live
so
I'll
probably
go
there
this
weekend
and
check
out
what
they're
doing
again.
It's
just
to
give
you
an
overview
this.
These
types
of
things
aren't
on
our
city
agendas,
but
these
types
of
things
I'm
required.
H
You
know,
city
of
Clearwater
is
required
to
be
on
that
COC,
and
so
my
job
is
to
bring
this
information
back
to
you.
So
we
we
can't
all
attend
that
meeting
and
then
you
might
have
seen
these
things
around.
H
They
hopefully
they're
in
our
libraries
or
our
rec
centers.
But
this
is
the
Pinellas
County
homeless,
resource
guide.
They
update
it
every
now
and
then
this
is
for
immediate
housing
or
shelter
needs,
there's
a
little
green
one
that
has
more
about
job
training,
job
opportunities,
but
you'll.
Look
that
we
are,
you
know
we're
kind
of
resource
Rich,
but
we
have
a
hard
time,
sometimes
matching
people
to
the
resources.
H
You
know
certainly,
substance,
abuse,
treatment,
AAA
meetings
and
all
that
those
things
are
are
are
usually
easily
accessed
and
people
can
get
help
that
they
need
there,
but
often
the
housing
resources.
H
It's
you
know
it's
like
a
two-hour
wait
on
a
211
call,
and
you
know
I've
asked
for
2-1-1
to
present,
and
hopefully
they
will
sometime
soon
but
2-1-1
out
of
the
top
10
zip
codes
that
they
get
their
calls.
Four
of
the
top
ten
are
from
Clearwater.
So
this
isn't
just
a
you
know.
This
is
a
not
necessarily
in
my
neighborhood,
but
it
is
in
our
neighborhood,
but
but
a
lot
of
these
resources
when
you
call
number
one
either
you're
put
on
hold
or
you're
put
on
a
wait
list.
H
H
So
again
just
wanted
that
update
of
not
a
whole
lot
of
good
news,
but
it's
the
reality
of
the
situation
and
we
do
have
resources
and
the
county
has
resources
and
I
met
with
the
county
about
the
lane
discussion
where's
your
lane.
That's
not
our
lane.
A
lot
of
our
taxes
go
to
the
county.
Well,
the
county.
Does
you
know,
step
up
and
do
a
lot,
but
the
fact
is
when
we
have
numbers
of
a
40
140
people
in
cars
three-year
weights,
all
that
stuff.
H
A
So
Saturday
I
did
a
tour
of
hope.
Villages.
Oh
yeah
and
I
was
looking
in
this
little
thing
here.
They're
not
even
mentioned
under
under
meals,
but
the
one
thing
that
they
do
is
they.
They
do
give
a
lot
of
food
to
families
in
need
to
seniors
and
daily.
You
could
drive
up
if
you're
registered
with
them.
They'll
give
you
it's
not
warm
food,
but
it's
a
sack
of
food
groceries,
yeah,
groceries
for
homeless,
so
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
people
and
it
says
here:
I've
got
some
information.
A
I
was
going
to
bring
because
I
knew
you
were
going
to
talk
about
this
I'm
going
to
pass
this
over
to
you
with
Melinda's
card.
If
you
haven't
talked
to
her
yet
she's
the
new
director,
it
really
is
nice
to
do
a
tour
of
what
they've
got
and
they
also
have
they
talk
about
placing
people
in
housing
or
homes.
H
I
volunteered
at
Hope
Villages
at
their
food
bank
there,
yep
and
and
met
with
with
them
we
have
360
eats,
which
is
Cameron
mcleish
who
hands
out
free,
gourmet
meals.
His
mother
is
a
a
chef
and
they're
in
the
north,
Greenwood
Community
and
they're.
Also
in
a
retirement
community
in
Clearwater
they
gather
food
from
groceries
and
other
food
distribution
produce
and
repurpose
it
and
use
it
and
feed.
A
H
Well,
I
mean
we
can
do
a
percentage,
I
mean
if
we've
got.
You
know
if,
if
that's
Saint
Pete
pulling
out
over
two
million
dollars
from
their
General
funds,
you
know
I
did
this
for
I,
don't
know
two
years
ago,
when
I
brought
this
up
about
asking
for
more
funding,
I'd
ask
for
five
hundred
thousand
a
doubling
of
our
general
funds
and
nobody
voted
for
that.
But
I
had
the
percentages
of
you
know
what
percentage
of
your
general
funds
are
we
giving
versus
you
know?
B
H
Over
to
drugs,
yes,
ma'am
all
right,
opioids,
all
right,
so
I
also
sit
on
another
important
board,
and
this
is
the
opioid
abatement
funding.
Advisory,
Board
and
I
have
handouts
for
you
for
this
too.
H
So
last
year,
I
volunteered
to
be
and
was
appointed,
to
serve
on
the
Pinellas
County
opioid
abatement
board.
This
is
a
five-member
board
and
it
is
made
up
of
the
chair
of
the
board.
Is
the
Saint
Petersburg
Fire
Rescue
Team
Ian
Womack
Vice
chair
is
Dr
Yuli
Cho,
the
director
of
the
Department
of
Health
for
Pinellas
County,
Pinellas
Park,
mayor
Sandra
Bradberry
is
on
the
board
as
well
as
Pinellas
County,
Commissioner,
Kathleen,
Peters
and
myself.
H
So
in
2018,
the
State
of
Florida
sued
11
manufacturers
of
opioids
Distributors
and
pharmacies
like
CVS,
Walgreens
and
Walmart
in
a
Pasco
County
Circuit
Court
about
100,
County
city,
school
boards
and
public
hospitals,
then
filed
similar
litigation
and
a
settlement
was
reached
with
the
state
or
through
the
state
and
Mr
margols.
You
gotta.
You
can
correct
me
if
I'm,
if
I
worded
that
wrong,
but
it
does
come
down
through
the
state.
Q
H
Documents
show
that
Florida
settlement
totals
about
3.2
billion
dollars,
payments
will
be
spread
over
18
years,
and
the
state
will
also
receive
84
million
dollars
worth
of
naloxone,
which
will
be
used
to
treat
opioid
overdoses,
and
it's
now
offered
free
through
the
Department
of
Health
Pinellas
County
over
the
next
10
years.
So
if
you
want
to
get
some
naloxone
just
to
carry
with
you,
you
can
go
into
our
Public
Health
departments
and
request
it
and
get
it
for
free
I'm
going
to
do
that.
Just
to
have
it.
H
Thankfully
I've
never
seen
a
person
in
some
kind
of
an
overdose
crisis,
but
we
certainly
have
thousands
in
our
area
Okay
as
part
of
the
settlement
100
Walmart
Pharmacies
will
stock
naloxone
and
qualified
law
enforcement
agencies
and
First
Responders
can
show
their
ID
and
obtain
up
to
two
up
to
five
two
packs
for
their
official
use
and
that
actually
a
state
attorney
general
Ashley
Moody
was
here
in
Clearwater
last
week
to
formally
announce
that
program
started
with
Chief
Slaughter.
H
So
the
state
recently
received
its
first
installment
of
205
205.7
million
dollars
for
opioid
Abuse
Prevention
and
treatment
programs,
Pinellas
County
officials
and
their
Municipal
Partners,
which
include
Saint,
Pete,
Pinellas,
Park
and
Clearwater.
That's
why
we're
on
the
board
will
receive
13.45
million
in
the
initial
allotment.
We've
actually
got
it.
We
have
an
inter-local
agreement
to
disperse
the
settlement
and
we
work
with
the
county-wide
opioid
task
force
to
identify
the
most
pressing
Community
needs.
H
H
H
And
you
know
you're
sitting
there
with
over
12
million
dollars
and
and
we've
got
these
stats,
so
we
can't,
you
know,
sit
around
not
make
taking
action.
So
what
I
wanted
to
do
was
just
highlight
these
things:
I'm
not
going
to
read
all
you
know
all
this
to
you,
but
you
can
keep
it,
but
I
I
have
a
couple
that
I'll
just
highlight
in
Florida
7983
drug
overdose
deaths
occurred
in
the
12-month
period
ending
in
January
2022..
H
There
are
opioids
in
these
other
drugs
morphine
oxycodone
and
then
the
Fentanyl,
let
alone
people
are
becoming
addicted
dying,
causing
trauma
to
their
their
selves,
their
families,
all
that
the
economic
impact
in
Tampa,
Bay,
opioid
overdose
deaths,
cost
25.8
billion
dollars
in
economic
output,
14.5
or
sorry
14.2
billion
dollars
in
the
total
estimated
fatality
cost.
H
There's
the
next
page
talks
about
9-1-1
transports
of
suspected
overdose
and
chief
Womack.
You
know,
and
others
have
told
stories
about
going
to
the
same
resident
multiple
times
a
day.
I
mean
it's
I'm,
sure,
you've
seen
documentaries
or
heard
you
know
about
the
repetitive
nature
of
it.
H
So
this
Pinellas
County
opioid
task
force,
which
we've
got
all
of
these.
Look
at
all
these
logos
of
all
these
experts
who
work
with
people
with
addiction,
so
they're,
a
collaboration
of
Community
Partners,
responding
to
the
sharp
increase
of
opioid,
related
substance,
use
in
deaths
in
Pinellas
County,
and
their
purpose
is
to
guide
community
members
and
resources
in
an
effort
to
confront
the
opioid
epidemic
and
I
I
and
those
four
others
sit
on
that
opioid
abatement,
not
the
task
force,
the
opioid
abatement.
H
What's
my
funding
Advisory
Board
just
to
advise
on
how
that
these
guys
are
going
to
tell
us
the
best
ways
to
spend
that
money,
and
then
we
will
make
a
recommendation
as
this
board,
because
we
have
you
know
legal
standing
and
then
the
the
County
Commissioners
vote
on.
We
don't
make
the
final
decision.
H
H
This
is
this
is
what
is
it
you
go
to
the
methadone
you
go
and
get
methadone
to
help
ease
the
symptoms
and
there's
some
you
know,
there's
some
discussion
about
medicated
medication,
assisted
treatment
and
other
related
treatments,
support
for
pregnant
and
postpartum
women,
expanding
treatment
for
neonatal
expansion
of
warm
handoff
programs
and
Recovery
Services
I'll,
just
say
for
the
warm
handoff
programs
and
Recovery
Services,
because
we
ended
up
making
that
a
priority
last
week
and
that's
so
people
don't
fall
between
the
cracks
like
if
EMS
picks
them
up
and
takes
them
to
the
emergency
room.
H
It's
like:
where
do
they
go
next,
and
so
somebody
is
there
to
kind
of
hold
their
hand
or
guide
them
through.
So
we
don't,
let
people
fall
through
the
cracks
and
we
need
funding.
We
need
programs
that
really
stay
with
a
person
throughout.
That's
what
that
warm
hand
off
means,
and
then
you
know,
prevention,
programs
and
things
like
that,
all
right
and
then
the
high
priority
Community
need
capacity
building.
H
We
have
over
12
million
dollars
and
we're
going
to
be
getting
Millions
more
for
the
next
18
years.
We
need
to
staff.
You
know
these
organizations
need
to
have
staff
in
order
to
get
these
Services
out
and
then
you
know
continue
support
education
and
development.
Training
expand
first
responder
training.
H
You
know
you
can
I,
don't
need
to
read
that,
but
you
can
read
through
those
things,
so
this
was
part
of
a
presentation
that
was
given
to
us
a
few
weeks
ago,
but
last
week
we
were
tasked
with.
What's
what
are?
What
are
our
priorities
going
to
be
here?
H
So
we've
got
money
in
a
bank
account
and
what
are
we
going
to
do
and
what
we
decided
last
week
was
that
no
one
in
this
task
force-
that's
advising
us,
has
a
full
county-wide
perspective
of
you
know:
what's
out
there
and
who's
doing
what,
where
the
gaps
might
be.
So
as
we
develop
a
strategic
plan
for
18
years,
we
allocated
some
funding
to
to
have
a
study
done
to
really
let
us
know
where
the
gaps
are,
and
so
that's
coming
and
we'll
send
out
an
RFP.
For
that.
H
However,
people
were
adamant
that
we
are
not
waiting
to
start
to
spend
money
now,
because
people
are
dying
every
single
day
and
so
we're
not
waiting
for
the
study
to
go
out
before
we
start
spending.
So
we're
looking
to
have
to
send
out-
and
this
will
be
after
our
next
meeting,
where
they're
going
to
finalize
Grant
language
as
well
as
a
rubric
but
we're
looking,
because
we
have
12
well
after
the
study
which
may
cost
up
to
three
million
dollars.
But
we
don't
want
to
advertise
that
at
all.
H
Hopefully,
it's
less,
but
once
the
the
millions
are
out
for
the
study.
We
want
to
have
kind
of
a
million
dollar
threshold
for
an
organization
to
apply
for
a
grant
and
give
bonus
points
for
those
larger
organizations
that
partner
with
smaller
ones,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
smaller
organizations
we
have
will
Atkinson,
who
runs
recovering
sober
house
is
right
here
in
Clearwater,
really
small
scale
who
could
not
apply
for
a
million
dollar
Grant.
He
couldn't
meet
a
million
dollar
threshold,
but
he
could
certainly
partner
and
be
part
of
a
bonus
program.
H
So
we're
looking
to
prioritize
that
so
that
we
can
get
the
money
out
quickly,
we're
looking
to
Pro
prioritize,
neonatal
programs,
treatment
and
Recovery
support
services
so
that
people
who
are
on
their
way
to
recovery
can
maintain
that
sobriety
as
they
go
through
and
then
the
warm
handoff
and
recovery
programs
wrap
around
services.
That
I
mentioned
kind
of
the
information
and
the
consensus
that
we
had
last
week-
and
this
was
from
medical
input-
is
that
treating
opioid
use
is
a
chronic
medical
condition.
H
H
So
we'll
be
approving
a
contract
with
a
firm
to
give
us
an
overview
of
the
county
and
the
prevention
treatment,
recovery
ecosystem
and
an
understanding
of
any
potential
gaps,
we'll
be
approving
Grant
application
language
in
a
room
rubric
and
then
we'll
serve
on
the
five
of
us
and
there
may
be
more
we'll
serve
on
a
rank
and
review
for
distribution
of
that
first
Toronto
forming
all
the
data.
It
will
all
be
data
driven
and
we'll
have
public
facing
dashboards
and
transparent
accounting
of
funds
and
outcomes.
H
Oh
I
know
I
know
so
we
have
I
think
he's
the
assistant
of
Pinellas
County
attorney,
who
sits
on
this
board
with
who's
on
the
task
force
and
advises
us
obviously,
and
we
have
memorandum
of
understanding
and
all
that
interlocal
agreements,
but
they
were
hoping
that
Fridays
ago
we'd
have
an
understanding
of
what
the
next
17
years
are
going
to
look
like,
because
before
you
start
really
sending
out
a
whole
bunch
of
money
and
building
capacity,
you
kind
of
want
an
understanding
of
what
the
following
years
are
going
to
look
like
and
it
didn't.
H
It
wasn't
out
that
previous
Friday
and
when
we
had
this
meeting
I,
don't
I
can't
remember.
If
the
meeting
was
on
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday,
they
were
hoping
it
would
come
out.
Last
Friday
and
I
asked
him.
I
said
as
soon
as
you
get
that
information
can
you
send
it
and
apparently
they
didn't
get
it
Friday,
so
we're
hoping
to
get
it
anytime
now,
because
you
really
want
an
understanding
how
it's
going
to
be
paced,
you
know
Mr
Margolis,
do
you
have
any
understanding
of
I
mean?
Q
Have
not
just
just
one
comment,
though,
on
the
disposition
of
the
funds
and
the
authority
of
to
our
inner
local
agreement.
The
recommendations
of
the
task
force
you
sit
on
are
somewhat
binding.
I
mean
they
are
in
fact
required
to
be
adopted
by
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
unless
the
board
votes
by
super
majority
to
overturn
it.
And
so,
although
it's,
although
the
county,
yes,
does
have
the
ultimate
authority
over
it,
it
would
require
actually
a
super
majority
to
overturn
a
task,
Force's
findings
and
so
on.
H
So
I
think
that's
the
only
handout
I
have
for
that.
B
Any
any
questions,
questions
comments,
so
I
would
encourage
everyone.
If
you
haven't
seen
the
docudrama
called
dope,
sick,
I,
think
it's
all
in
Hulu,
it's
Michael
Keaton,
it's
a
DOT,
the
docu
drama,
with
some
some
very
accurate
information,
great
great
mini
series
to
watch
because
it
really
gets
into
difficult
the
situation
is
it
was
a
doctor,
West
Virginia
who
was
treating
patients.
He
got,
he
got
a
remarkable
story
and
it
just
shows
the
Purdue
Pharma
the
whole
bit
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
watch
that
to
see
if
this
is
a
really
severe
and
serious.
B
H
Well,
for
future
meetings
is
that
right.
Well,
I
wanted
to
mention
to
you.
We
have
that
Suncoast
League
of
cities,
legislative
award
dinner
is
Saturday.
If
you
can
make
it
it's
at
Feather
Sound,
you
do
need
to
register,
and
then
I
was
just
thinking.
You
know.
I
I
mentioned
the
waiting
of
references
on
big
contracts.
H
It
just
I
think
maybe
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
conversation
to
just
have
with
Jennifer
one-on-one,
but
I
thought,
maybe
a
discussion
or
presentation
from
procurement
about
the
request
for
references
on
large
contracts
and
then
the
waiting
of
them,
and
if
you
know
my
gut
tells
me
if
we're.
If,
if
it's
part
of
procurement
we're
requiring
it
but
we're
not
requiring
follow-up,
we
should
wait
it
at
like
five
percent
or
something
less,
and
you
know
I
just
I
want
a
better
understanding
of
that.
H
Q
Yeah
I
agree:
I
mean
if,
if
we're
going
to
say
that
references
are
an
important
part
of
a
calculation,
then
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
we
do
our
do
our
due
diligence.
So
it's
reasonable.
B
B
It
was
great,
so
thank
you
to
the
fire
department
for
facilitating
that
and
it
was
we're
out
there
and
we've
got
a
new
firefighter
and
training
to
my
right
with
the
vice
mayor,
we
have
a
real
serious
situation,
they're
going
to
suit
him
up,
I
heard
so
he
put
he
put
the
gear
on.
So
it
was
a
great
event.
So
we
appreciate
that
all
right,
good
meeting
look
forward
to
seeing
everyone
on
Thursday
evening.
We
are
now
adjourned.
