A
And
we
started
with
too
many
buses
and
through
the
years
it
grew,
and
today
we
operate
70
vehicles
and
we
have
locations
in
Largo,
Orlando
and
Miami
charter
bus
schedule,
bus
services,
as
well
as
contract
Transportation
like
employee
shuttles
and
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
I
got
involved
locally.
Here
volunteering.
My
time
on
on
the
pointy
boards
in
about
2010,
the
local
Coordinating
Board
for
the
transportation
disadvantage,
was
the
first
one
and
I
still
volunteer
in
that
board.
Today
and
I
was
on
the
penelison
coast,
Transit
30
board
from
2012
to
2018.
A
and
I'm
now
back
on
the
PSTA
board.
But
now,
as
a
as
an
elected
elected
official,
so
kind
of
some
of
the
of
the
of
the
trends
that
are
occurring
in
in
transit
is
pre-pandemic.
A
Transit
ridership
was
trans
was
trending
down
and
it's
probably
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
reasons.
For
that
I
mean
economy
during
that
time
was
pretty
good.
Gas
prices
were,
you
know,
were
down,
and
you
know
that
allows
people
to
make
to
make
different
choices
on
on
their
Mobility
Mobility
options
and
then
pre-pandemic
or
post
pandemic.
Rather,
it's
been
very,
very
slow
to
come
to
come
back,
which
kind
of
causes
to
wonder
you
know
kind
of
really
what
is
sort
of
the
of
the
future
of
Transit.
A
You
know
long
term,
I
I,
don't
have
a
brilliant
answer
to
that
question
necessarily,
but
I
can
just
sort
of
give
you
my
you
know
my
thoughts
on
that
is
that
you
know
you
know.
Transit
ridership
was
has
been
declining
and
if
you
look
at
psta's
statistics
they
reached
in
the
last
15
years,
they
reached
their
peak
ridership
in
2015,
which
is
about
14.5
million
trips
a
year,
not
14
5
million
passengers,
but
one
trip,
so
that's
called
an
unlinked
passenger
trip.
So
every
time
you
bought
on
a
bus,
that's
considered.
A
A
Why
is
that
you
know
it's
it's
you
know
people
are
going
to
choose
Transportation
options
based
on
two
things:
whatever
is
going
to
be
safest
and
whatever
is
going
to
be
the
fastest
and
also
since
that
time
frame
we
had
this
really
disruptive
thing
called
Uber
and
Lyft,
which
you
know
decimated
the
you
know
the
the
taxi
industry
and
it
was
also
been
a
disrupter
in
the
transit
world
as
well.
A
I
know
several
people,
a
few
people
live
in
my
neighborhood
and
and
some
some
family
that
lives
out
in
Phoenix
that
either
don't
have
a
car
at
all
in
the
household
or
have
a
car
but
choose
to
Uber
lent
most
of
the
time,
because
it's
not
unaffordable
for
most
people
and
it's
very
easy
and
and
quick
to
get
around
where
you
know.
A
A
A
best
line,
and-
and
rarely
does
it
does
it
change
it-
has
a
orange
origination
point
and
a
destination
point,
and
you
know,
regardless
of
what
the
traffic
is.
You
know
passenger
capacity,
it
it's
static
and
it
really
doesn't
change
that
much
versus
these
other
platforms
are
extremely
Dynamic
and
they're,
constantly
constantly
changing,
based
on
passenger
domain
and
I.
Think
Transit
has
to
move
to
that
sort
of
a
model.
A
If
they're
going
to
be
successful,
long
term
and
PSTA,
we
had
a
board
Workshop
today,
where
we
we
talked
about
this,
but
and
we're
going
to
have
some
committee
meetings
to
try
to
drill
down
on
that
further
to
see
how
can
Transit
become
more
flexible
in
that
way,
I'll
give
you
a
inner
city,
bus
example
that
that
probably
everybody
could
relate
to
everybody
knows
what
Greyhound
is
right.
Yeah
for
decades,
Greyhound
was
the
Legacy
bus
system
in
the
United
States,
and
they
own
everything
they
owned,
the
buses
being
on
the
terminals
they
own
stations.
A
They
they
own
the
maintenance
facilities.
They
maintain
the
buses,
they
hired
the
drivers
they
did,
they
did
everything.
A
Well,
that
was
a
lot
of
capital
for
them
to
carry
well
through
the
years
that
started
to
really
catch
up
with
them
and
they
were
struggling
to.
You
know
to
remain
competitive
and
profitable,
so
they
went
through
a
number,
a
number
of
bankruptcies
and
and
ownership
changes,
and
it
seemed
like
every
time
a
new
owner,
a
new
company
would
buy
them.
They
would
go.
Oh
my
God.
What
do
we
get
ourselves
into?
How
do
we?
A
How
do
we
offload
this
thing
and
and
Greyhound
was-
was
also
very
heavily
subsidized
by
the
government
as
federal
government
as
as
Transit
is
in
the
bus
industry,
we
called,
we
often
refer
to
Greyhound
as
the
biggest
average
farmers
in
the
best
industry,
because
they
were,
they
were
just
so
heavily
subsidized
and
that's
no
in
no
way
disrespectful
to
the
to
the
Dairy
Farmers.
A
But
and
then
something
happened
about
15
or
20
years
ago.
Every
model
came
in
called
Megabus.
You,
some
of
you
had
heard
about
it
and
they
were
they
showed
up.
It
was
a
European
company,
they
showed
up
with
brand
new
double
decker
buses
and
that's
all
I
owned
was
the
buses.
They
didn't
know
the
terminals,
they
didn't
own,
the
stations
they
did
curbside
pickups,
and
then
they
contracted
all
of
their
other
services
out,
and
then
they
started
to
just
eat.
Greyhound's,
lunch,
okay
and
then
Greyhound
tried
to
reinvent
itself
a
few
different
times.
A
A
So
they
were
the
Uber
and
Lyft
disruptor
of
the
inner
city
bus
industry,
so
that
they
brought
that
model
over
here
to
the
United
States
about
five
five
years
ago
and
started
operating
and
then
and
then
what
they
would
do
is
just
contract
with
private
providers
to
provide
the
services
and
they
would
they
would
establish
the
route
they
would
do
all
the
marketing.
They
would
have
all
the
fair
structure
and
then
just
hire
companies
to
to
you
know,
operate
them,
operate
the
routes
well,
very
quickly.
A
They
ran
Megabus,
pretty
much
out
of
the
country,
ended
up
buying
the
carcass
of
what
was
left
over
a
gram,
so
I
think
it's
that
sort
of
Technology
and
artificial
intelligence.
That
Transit
really
needs
to
kind
of
be
looking
at
going
forward
to
kind
of
remain
relevant
in
the
future.
That's
kind
of
my
my
sort
of
thought
on
that
and
I
know:
I've
talked
to
Keenan
a
few
times
here
about.
A
A
Whatever
you
know,
whatever
geographic
area,
you
want
to
block
off
and
say:
okay,
you
go
to
a
company
like
transloc
or
via,
and
you
can
say
we
want
service
anywhere
within
this
Zone
and
it's
a
mobile
app
make
a
fair
structure
that
that
you
want,
and
somebody
can
call
out
the
mo
lab
and
it's
almost
like
an
Uber
or
Lyft,
but
in
this
Zone
in
the
artificial
intelligence,
we'll
just
tell
them.
Well,
oh
there's
another
person
to
pick
up
over
here
and
it
will
just
take.
A
It
will
just
manage
all
of
all
of
that,
for
you,
you
just
say:
I
want
service
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
vehicle
available
every
five
minutes.
If
somebody
calls
their
ten
minutes,
you
pick
whatever
you
want,
and
then
they
design
the
system
for
you
drop
in
a
certain
number
of
vehicles
and
then
they
just
kind
of
manage
it
just
sort
of
just
sort
of
Hands-On.
So
this
is
kind
of
some
of
the
trends
that
you
see
coming.
You
know
coming
forward
here
and
so.
A
At
what
your,
what
your
options
are
for
the
for
this
downtown
area
here
yeah
there
are
definitely
some
some
neat
things
out
there
to
consider
and
I
think
the
future
is
going
to
be.
A
You
can't
do
it
because
you
had
these
entrenched
taxicab
companies
where
it
was
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
buy
a
taxi
Medallion
in
New
York
City.
If
you
want
right,
yeah
well,
they
came
in
and
they
just
said
well
forget
all
that
right.
That's
not
the
way
it's
going
to
be
anymore.
So
now
you
have
this
complete
new
regulatory
structure
that
allows
all
the
share
right
things
and
it's
changed
completely
changed
mobility
and
that's
going
to
happen
again
in
in
the
not
to
the
not
too
distant
future.
So.
D
I
brought
I
asked
them
to
come
down
because
I
was
thinking
with
the
new
with
relating
to
the
ddb
and
our
little
tiny
piece
of
clear
water,
but
we
have
this
ginormous
Park
opening
with
the
10
000
seed
Auditorium,
and
they
want
to
do
100,
200
300
events
a
year
in
your
opinion
with
all
of
that,
and
then
an
older
bus
station
right,
downtown
right
and
you
even
talked
about.
Potentially
you
know
having
aerial
drones
so
with
with
The
Coachman
Park
and
the
the
terminal
about.
D
A
I
I
personally
think
that
they
will
the
I
think
that
you're
going
to
see
two
worlds
sort
of
collide
here.
The
the
transit
world
is
so
heavily
subsidized
by
the
by
the
federal
government
and
whenever
there's
a
downturn
in
the
economy,
you
see
the
federal
government
throw
huge
amounts
of
money
at
three
things:
the
post
office
and
track
in
transit.
Okay
and
the
the
the
the
challenges
I
see
it
on
the
on
the
federal
funding
side
is
they
will
give
you
Capital
dollars?
A
They
don't
give
you
operating
balance,
so
it
kind
of
it
encourages
big
Capital
spending
projects
and
once
they're
and
once
they're
built
you're
sort
of
forced
to
operate
them
almost
almost
into
into
eternity,
sometimes
they're
good,
sometimes
they're,
not
so
good.
But
if
you
look
at
a
lot
of
the
Legacy
rail
systems,
for
instance
around
around
the
country,
many
of
those
things
have
Decades
of
deferred
maintenance
on
them.
A
They
can
always
find
money
to
open
up
a
new
rail
line,
but
to
rehab
the
old
ones
is
is,
is,
is
another
thing
and-
and
you
know
rail
ridership.
You
know
rail
works
well
in
a
couple
of
cities,
but
that's
really
about
it.
So
I
I
do
think
it's
really
going
to
dramatically
change
mobility
in
in
the
future.
So
you
know
where
is
where
does
Transit
fit
into
all
that
stuff?
A
That's
part
of
one
of
the
things
that
PSA
we're
trying
to
figure
out
going
forward,
and
one
of
the
concerns
that
you
know
that
I
have
is
that
you
see
the
trends
since
since
2009
is
that
you
know
stopping
levels
are
up,
dates
are
up,
vehicle
comes
up,
but
ridership
has
been,
has
been
downward
Trend.
And
how
do
you?
How
do
you
reverse
that?
You
know?
A
B
A
E
The
yes
I'm,
not
sure
how
what
I'm
going
to
bring
up
relays
to
your
expertise
or
I'm,
trying
to
get
some
some
more
information
about
Drew,
Street
and
the
plants,
because,
as
a
local
I,
try
to
avoid
that
street,
because
it's
very
slow
and
I've
noticed
there's
a
small
percentage.
You
can
score
that
their
people
are
going
too
fast,
which
is
traffic
management.
E
From
my
understanding
is
mobility
and
traffic
moving,
rather
than
making
traffic
to
stop
hey,
we
could
put
bumps
on
along
the
road,
and
people
have
to
slow
down
and
take
twice
as
three
times
as
long
to
get
from
one
end
or
people
coming
to
the
big
event.
Ten
thousand,
you
get
an
average
of
two
people
in
the
car
you're.
Looking
five
thousand
cars
coming
and
there's
only
two
ways:
Cleveland
is
killed
because
there's
no
way
you
can
go
through
that
that
way
didn't
tie
into
this.
It's
a
different
group
different
plans.
A
You
haven't
seen
it
so
there's
a
plan
for
George
Strait.
Have
you
seen
that
presentation
at
all
is.
D
Think
if
I
may
I
think
you're
going
to
address
this
later
today,
right,
okay,
so
but.
A
So
we
get
a
presentation
on
this
at
our
at
our
last
meeting
and
we
gave
fdot
a
lot
of
feedback
on
on
those
plans.
So
the
Drew
Street
is
a
challenging
thing
because
there's
three
jurisdictions
involved
in
it
you've
got
at
the
end
closest
to
US,
19,
you've
got
the
state
and
then
in
the
middle
you've
got
the
county,
and
then
you
get
to
downtown
it's
the
city
and
there's
so
and
there's
various
pots
of
money
that
that
are
feeding
into
this.
A
So
the
I
will
not
remember
all
the
design
features
here
without
having
without
having
a
presentation
for
me,
but
it's
basically
from
downtown
out.
It
was
I
think
it
was
too
late
with
a
bike
lane
and
then
once
it
got
into
the
center
part
of
the
bike,
lane
shifted
around
a
little
bit
and
then
it
was.
It
was
full
Lanes.
A
You
know
beyond
that
up
to
up
to
us
19.,
so
the
concerns
we
gave
the
bill
gave
from
a
DOT
a
lot
of
feedback
relative
to
to
the
bank
lanes,
and
then
there
was
questions
about
when
the
traffic
study
was
done.
A
If
you
know
it
was
done
in
2021,
I
think
when
there
really
wasn't
there
was
that
really
a
full
recovery
from
covid,
so
where
the
traffic,
you
know
the
traffic
studies,
how
accurate
are
they
and
I
heard
that
just
the
other
day
that
Senator
Hooper
put
something
in
a
budget
to
stop
that
project
until
more
traffic
studies
could
get
done?
So
it's
something's.
A
I,
don't
really
know
exactly
what
or
what
at
this
point,
because
there's
you've
got
some
competing
interests
there
saying
well,
we
need
to
do
more
traffic
studies
and
then
you've
got
some.
You
know,
you've
got
others
saying
anything.
We
do
is
better
than
what
it
is
now,
because
it's
so
dangerous
for
for
cyclists
and
pedestrians
and
others
as
well.
So
that's
kind
of
where,
where
that's
at
you
know,
I
can't
give
you
a
date
certain
or
exactly
what
the
final
design
is
going
to
look
like
people.
A
About
it,
yeah
it's,
it's
definitely,
everybody
knows
the
problem
and
something
is
going
to
happen.
H
Back
to
the
ridership,
what
do
you
do,
or
what
do
you
have
planned
to
encourage
people
to
take
the
public
transportation?
Is
there
some
sort
of
plan
to
do
that.
A
Actually,
so
we
have
we're
looking
at
doing
something
for
veterans,
we're
disabled
veterans
could
ride
for
free,
okay,
which
I
think
what
that'll
do
for
ridership
to
Indiana,
don't
really
know,
but
I
think
it's,
but
I
think
it's
certainly
I
think
it's
certainly
a
nice,
a
nice
Outreach
to
the
veteran
community
and
certainly
a
benefit
for
them,
for
a
big
sacrifice
for
us
and
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
what's
called
Community
Bus
study,
which
we
do
typically
about
every
five
years,
and
we
talked
about
that
at
the
work
session
today
because
in
my
mind
this
is
prob
could
potentially
be
one
of
the
most
important
studies
that
we
do
in
the
history
of
PSTA,
because
between
2015
until
now,
there
were
six
million
trips
that
didn't
get
taken
on
psgn.
A
We
lost
that
many
trips
between
15
and
2022,
okay
where'd
they
go.
Why
aren't
they?
What
did
they
did
they
buy
cars?
Are
they
Uber
and
lifting
or
share
a
ride?
Is
it
ebike?
What
is
it?
Why
are
they
not
if
we
don't,
in
my
opinion,
if
we
don't
have
the
answers
to
that
question,
then
how
do
we
just
and
scale
adjust
and
scale
the
services
going
forward?
A
So
to
me,
that's
really
really
critical
and
that
will
hopefully
give
us
some
of
the
answers
to
those
questions
is,
is
how
do
you
do
I
I
personally,
think
it's
just
in
my
opinion,
like
I,
was
saying
earlier
that
it
has
to
become
more
of
a
dynamic
system
than
just
simply
a
static
system.
I'll
give
you
an
example
of
what
of
what
flexbox
does
is
we
operate
last
reflex
bus
from
Orlando
to
Miami?
G
A
This
we
have
this
bus
line
from
point
A
to
point
B
that
you
know
if
we're
only
picking
up
so
many
people
here.
Well,
what
if
we
move
the
stop
here,
you
know,
and
how
do
we
do
that
in
kind
of
real
time
and
and
communicate
that
to
the
to
the
to
the
driving
problem,
so
I
think
that
that's
sort
of
the
the
bottle
that
we
need
to
be
working
towards
I
want
to.
D
Thank
you
for
coming,
I
I
think
we
could
ask
you
questions
for
another
hour,
but
unless
anyone
has
another
but
I
think
it
was
very
informative.
Thank
you
and
you're
right
down
the
street
right.
If
somebody
wants
to
come
visit,
you
yeah
I'm
right
down
right
over
here.
So
tell
me
County,
Courthouse
thanks.
D
I
This
will
show
up
on
your
screens
there
we
go
perfect
thanks
for
having
me
back,
it's
nice
to
see
you
all
again.
It
was
hard
to
believe
it
was
two
months
ago
already
that
we
were
talking
about
kind
of
what
the
what
the
overview,
what
the
the
picture
of
of
the
grand
opening
of
the
park
would
look
like,
and
so
today,
we're
here
to
provide
you
with
just
some
of
how
that's
been
colored
in
obviously
been
a
lot
of
different
people
working
on
it.
I
So
we
appreciate
the
cooperation
with
with
Dr
Matthew
staff
and
all
the
CRA
staff,
and
really
all
of
the
entire
Parks
and
Rec
Department
marine
and
Aviation
I
could
go
on
and
on
it's
been
you
get
something
of
this
magnitude
with
Coachman
Park
and
it's
the
entire
City's
involved
with
making
this
grand
opening
a
success.
So
I
just
get
the
opportunity.
J
B
I
The
last
time
I
was
here,
we
went
over
again
the
overview
on
how
we
took
the
concept
of
Imagine
or
I'm.
Sorry
of
Clearwater
celebrates
America
for
the
Fourth
of
July,
and
then
we
we
put
that
over
the
course
of
of
seven
straight
days
for
a
grand
opening
and
so
I'll
just
walk
you
through
some
of
the
different
things
we're
doing
each
day.
This
map
that
you
see
in
front
of
you.
So
this
is
our
first
iteration
that
just
shows
all
of
the
different
types
of
activities
that
could
happen
down
at
Coachman.
I
I
Really
gives
the
community
a
chance
to
see
all
the
different
types
of
activities
that
can
happen
down
in
there
throughout
throughout
the
rest
of
the
year.
I
So
as
I
walk
through
you'll
see
some
of
the
the
things
on
the
map
will
be
in
certain
spots
on
some
days
and
and
others
will
be
in
different
locations.
We
are
working
currently
right
now
on
having
individual
daily
maps
that
will
just
help
us
as
we
plan
and
prepare
so
the
Wednesday.
The
28th
is
the
the
official
grand
opening
we're
going
to
do
a
ribbon,
cutting
at
5
p.m.
I
I,
don't
have
the
hours
down,
but
there's
people
in
our
office
that
have
it
down
to
the
hour,
so
yeah
that's
very
exciting.
So
we
have
the
grand
opening
at
5
PM.
There
will
be
music
going
on
down
there,
there'll
be
just
a
lot
of
different
activities
and
we
really
want
to
introduce
people
to
the
the
areas
of
the
park
that
will
be
open
and
available
for
the
public.
I
All
the
time
we're
thinking
of
doing
some,
some
t-shirt
giveaways
for
the
first
kids
that
go
onto
the
playground
and-
and
you
know
just
just
a
bunch
of
different
types
of
activities
on
that
first
day
and
then
there'll-
be
a
free
community
concert
within
the
Sound
area.
So
on
that
on
that
there's
or
I'm.
Sorry
on
that
the
28th,
which
would
be
the
Wednesday
and
Thursday
the
29th,
there
will
be
free
community
concerts
within
the
sounds
of
those
two
nights.
I
But
then,
as
we
we
celebrate,
we
move
from
a
little
bit
or
celebrating
Coachman
Park
in
the
grand
opening
into
celebrating
culture
and
diverse
diversity,
on
that
Thursday
I
think
you
guys
have
the
The
Rundown
in
front
of
you,
but
we're
trying
to
get
you
know:
multi
cultural,
musical
acts
and
working
with
different
groups
that
are
going
to
create
just
a
really
great
environment
down
there.
I
As
we
celebrate
you
know,
the
the
culture
and
diversity
that
the
city
of
Clearwater
is
known
for
Friday
would
be
the
first
night
for
ticketed
concerts
within
the
sound,
but,
as
you
can
see,
we
still
have
a
lot
of
free
community
programs
that
will
be
going
on
not
limited
to
the
partnership.
We're
working
with
the
YMCA
on
to
have
Community
exercise
and
fitness
classes
down
in
the
park
so
being
on.
I
The
waterfront
really
just
offers
a
really
unique
place
to
be
able
to
to
be
outside
and
join
the
you
know
the
beautiful
Park
that
we
have
and
participate
with
others
in
Wellness
Wellness
programs
we'll
have
Market
vendors
there
throughout
the
day,
I'm
really
old,
Friday,
Saturday
Sunday.
It
says
a
beer
garden,
it's
actually
going
to
be
a
better.
You
can't
quite
see
it
on
the
map,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
beer
Pier.
I
So
the
old
Pier
that
sticks
out
there
we're
going
to
create
that
into
a
little
craft
beer
area
where
people
can
have
a
nice
time
enjoying
the
Waterfront
or
adults
can
at
least
out
on
the
beer
Pier
with
food
trucks.
One
of
the
unique
things
we're
doing
as
well
is
Parks
and
Recreation
we're
trying
to
tie
in
our
entire
department.
So
we
have
summer
camp
that'll
be
going
on
at
that
time.
So
we're
going
to
bus
over
summer,
campers
from
the
local
rec
centers
and
we
have
a
guy's
name-
is
Corey
Thornton.
I
He
does
some
uplifting
and
motivation
musical
things
so
we'll
be
able
to
have
kids
kind
of
go
out
there
enjoy
the
park
while
doing
something.
That's
really
beneficial
for
them
in
the
community
and
then,
with
that
Friday
being
known
as
Clearwater
celebrates
music.
There's
free
community
concerts
in
Milan
or
the
green
I
have
to
get
rid
of
the
lawn
from
my
vocabulary.
Yeah.
B
I
The
green
area
there
will
be
free
community
concerts
going
on
really
all
throughout
the
day
until
we
get
to
that
point
where
it
transitions
into
the
ticketed
concerts
within
the
sound
Saturday
very
similar
to
Friday,
because
obviously
are
going
to
be
a
more
heavily
trafficked
days.
I
I
We'll
have
a
5k
going
on
that
morning,
so
a
ton
of
the
towers
organization
has
been
doing
races
in
our
community
for
a
long
time,
they've
moved
up
their
annual
November
race
to
be
on
the
4th
of
July,
and
so
it's
nice
to
have
a
built-in
audience
that
will
be
there
for
that,
as
well
as
all
the
other
people
that
want
to
run
in
the
first
ever
you
know
new
Coachman,
Park,
5K
and
then
again
that
that
evening,
we'll
we'll
conclude
with
a
musical
concert
within
the
sound
Sunday
has
a
chance
to
celebrate
our
Clearwater's
Hispanic
culture.
I
I
know
you
guys
were
talked
earlier
about
the
Cinco
de
Mayo
or
the
I'm
not
saying
that
wrong.
I
I
Mayo,
thank
you
so
we'll
be
working
with
with
them
on
helping
us
with
the
grand
opening
as
well,
bringing
in
salsa
dancing
and
really
just
celebrating
the
culture
in
a
multitude
of
ways.
There's
local
folklore
groups,
there's
Regional
salsa
bands,
so
it'll
be
a
really
fun
night.
Celebrating
that.
I
Was
celebrating
Wellness
with
Community
Wellness
walks
doing
some
volunteerism
and
volunteer
cleanups
in
the
park
on
that
day
having
the
blood
bust
down
there,
just
just
things
that
we
think
can
can
get
people
focused
on
on
Wellness
on
that
Monday
and
then
the
big
one
on
Tuesday,
which
would
be
the
Fourth
of
July,
which
is
always
generating
a
large
volume
of
people
coming
in
through
downtown
to
watch
the
fireworks.
I
B
I
One
of
the
things
that's
right
on
the
heels
of
the
transportation.
Talk
that
you
guys
had.
We
will
be
offering
a
circulator
system
going
through
that
weekend,
so
we're
in
the
process
of
finishing
an
RFP
with
it
for
transportation
that
will
help
connect
all
the
different
parking
locations
throughout
the
downtown
that
are
parking,
division,
we'll
have
stops
and
locations
to
pick
Le
up
and
drop
them
off
right
at
the
front
door.
I
So
part
of
the
like
a
regular,
everyday
or
weekend
kind
of
a
thing,
but
we'll
be
able
to
get
some
real
good
data
to
see
what
the
ridership
is
like
how
popular
it
is,
how
used
it
is,
but
we
want
to
take
away
any
barriers
that
people
would
have
to
say
why
they
wouldn't
want
to
come
down
to
the
park
on
the
grand
opening
I
have
to
park
too
far
away
or
anything
like
that
really
want
to
just
take
away
barriers
and
offer
people
opportunity
to
get
down
there
and
see
it.
D
D
The
old
building
on
The
Old,
City
Hall,
will
that
be
the
demolition
be
completed
by
then
or
I've.
I
Learned
over
the
years
to
know
that
I
know
and
to
say,
I,
don't
know
and
I
don't
know,
I
I
will
say
I
hope
so
I
know
every
day.
I
see,
there's
more
and
more
of
it
coming
down,
but
I'm
I
don't
know
the
answer.
I
We're
one
for
one
so
far
at
doing
that
at
events,
so
we
we
will
do
our
best
to
make
sure
no
sprinklers
come
out.
Yeah.
I
Yeah,
fortunately,
on
on
evenings
and
weekends,
when
some
of
the
parking
garages
are
emptied
out,
it
gives
us
a
lot
more
parking
within
a
few
blocks
that
than
people
think
so
we're
going
to
focus
those
stops
on
where
the
largest
amount
of
cars
will
will
be
able
to
park.
So
I
don't
have
the
breakdown
today.
That
says
how
many
spots
you
know
in
each
location
but
I
but
I,
think
it's
somewhere
around
2500.
I
3700
so
and
I
know
it's
an
easy
number
to
say
two
cars
per,
but
the
the
actual
mud
truck
that
we
use
is
is
much
higher
than
two.
It's
usually
around
like
three
to
three
and
a
half
so
that
just
that
helps
you
kind
of
realize
how
many,
how
many
spots
you'll
need
and
we've
we've
done,
the
Fourth
of
July
with
10
20
000
people
in
the
past,
oh
yeah,
yeah,
and
that's
for
sure
people
figure
out.
You
know
when
they
want
to
be
somewhere.
They
they'll
get
there.
D
M
M
B
M
An
unpaid
balance
of
two
hundred
thirty
one
thousand
382.56
in
your
marketing
category.
You
still
have
sixty
four
thousand
dollars
remaining.
That
has
been
unallocated.
So
if
you
get
any
more
marketing
requests
that
come
forward,
that's
kind
of
your
lump
that
you
might
have
left
to
work
with
for
your
business
assistance
category.
M
To
date,
when
I
created
this
item,
you
had
not
allocated
any
money
for
business
assistance
grants,
but
you
did
have
other
items
within
that
category,
so
there
was
around
twenty
thousand
that
was
spent
and
a
little
over
75
000
that
has
been
unspent
and
there
is
still
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
remaining
of
unallocated
annual
business
assistance.
Category
policy
and
project
work
same
thing.
There
was
nothing
allocated.
We
don't
really
have
anything
projected
to
come
out
of
there
and
you
haven't
spent
any
money.
M
B
M
M
That
includes
what
has
not
that
includes
how
much
money
you
have
left
over
unallocated
and
allocated.
So
in
your
marketing
category,
for
example,
you
guys
have
given
take
one
that's
on
here,
the
ukulele
Festival
that
they
just
had
their
event
in
April.
You
have
allocated
so
far
A
little
over
ten
thousand
dollars,
that's
incorporated
as
unpaid,
because
when
it
created
this
item,
it's
still
unpaid.
Well,
I
can't
tell
you
between
when
I
created
this
and
now
it
has
been
made.
D
D
Okay,
thank
you.
Come
on
up.
H
For
business
assistance,
which
council
do
I
go
to
about
small
business
assistance,.
M
M
L
Okay,
great
thank
you
and
can
I
get
a
motion
promotional
to
approve
the
registration
detail.
D
D
All
in
favor
aye,
it's
unanimous
man,
okay,
looks
like
we
have
a
new
thing
here:
presentations
regarding
completed
projects
and
special
events.
Actually
we
did
this
last
month.
The
time
limit
is
five
minutes
for
presentation
and
it
will
be
enforced.
There'll
be
a
big
red
light
and
water
falling
on
your
head
questions
from
Members
follow
each
presentation
so
as
not
to
reduce
we'll
ask
questions
afterwards.
K
N
H
Hello
I
did
bring
things.
H
So
the
event
was
pause
on
Parade
it.
It
had
over
a
little
over
400
people
wow
and
over
100
dogs,
100
and
140
ish
dogs
in
the
parade.
H
The
purpose
of
it
for
me
was
to
bring
together
the
community
and
give
them
just
a
fun
holiday
event.
Animals
are
such
a
huge
part
of
our
lives
and
noticing
that
there
really
weren't
many
animal
events
is
a
big
reason
why
I
wanted
to
do
it
all
of
the
money
from
it
went
to
the
rescue
groups
that
were
attending
and
we
had
10
of
them.
H
We
had
a
costume
parade,
we
had
vendors,
so
you
could
do
your
Christmas
shopping,
your
holiday
shopping.
We
had
local
businesses
doing
free,
hot
chocolate,
Carolyn's
kitchen.
H
It
supported
small
business
too,
and
also
artists,
the
acrobats,
the
DJs
everyone
that
I
had
hired
to
be
in
the
event
the
stilt
Walkers.
So.
H
That
was
the
event
and
it
got
it
got
really
great
reviews
online.
H
My
Advertiser
reached
almost
20
000
people
and
I
just
was
filled
up
with
thank
yous
and
what
a
great
addition
they
thought
it
was
and
I
hope
it
happens
again
next
year.
So
there's
that
so
yeah
that
was,
that
was
paused
on
parade
and
it
was.
It
was
successful
as
as
far
as
I've
seen
so.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
do
the
event
for
you.
D
H
H
H
You
had
yes
well,
they
want
this
event
to
do
next
year.
That
was
that
was
a
big
thing
too,
and
they
they
asked
me
if
I
was
putting
together
any
more
dog
events
and
I
do
have
some
more
ideas
like
Barking,
Lot
sales
and
just
just
different
things
that,
especially
with
the
summer
coming,
it
would
be
nice
I
think
to
have
maybe
every
three
months
we
could
have
something
in
downtown,
where
it's
like
a
dogs
night
out
to
again
support
the
local
businesses.
H
We
can
have
vendors,
maybe
do
an
ales
and
Tails
is
another.
One.
I
had
an
idea
for
doing
a
microbrew
competition
and
it's
all
the
proceeds
that
we
get
for
the
donations
to
be
in
the
competition
and
to
judge
it
go
to
the
local
rescues,
but
and
that's
what
I
want
to
support
is
the
local
risk
are
the
local
rescues
and
our
community
of
veterinarians
and
animal
stores.
H
So
yes,
that
I
am
coming
to
you
with
with
new
ideas
so
trying
to
get
through
this
construction.
And
then,
after
that,
you'll
have
my
full
attention.
H
F
H
O
H
D
B
H
Hey,
oh
and
here,
I,
wanted
to
show
you
also,
as
you
can
see
on
the
bottom,
there's
also
your
advertising,
but
you're
on
here
as
well.
I
wanted
to
show
you
the
sign
that
I
did
for
the
street
and
parking
lots
thanks.
K
All
right
many
teas
I'm
back
again,
Vicki
Shire
CR
manager.
This
agenda
item
is
to
do
a
report
out
for
the
party
pirates
on
the
Rocks
Pirate
Invasion
that
was
held
on
January
28
2023
on
the
400
500
and
600
block
of
Cleveland
Street.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
introduce
the
owner
of
Timeless
entertainment,
Jake,
pastorino
and
Becky
Anaya
to
provide
the
report
out,
we.
C
See
that
again,
okay,
so
we
were
asked
to
co-sponsor
this
event
with
Stacy
Myers
from
party
pirates
on
the
Rocks
who
couldn't
make
it
tonight.
She
is
the
non-profit
who
did
it
a
couple
years
ago
on
just
the
400
400
block.
We
extended
it.
Three
three
blocks,
you
guys
know
all
the
details
of
that
great
family
event.
I
think
that
was
the
biggest
take
out
takeaway
that
we
got
from
it
was
that
you
know
we're
in
our
40s.
C
We
have
kids,
all
our
friends
have
kids
and
again
we're
not
going
over
to
Tampa
to
deal
with
with
our
kids
at
Gasparilla.
So
this
provided
an
alternative
to.
You
saw
to
dress
up
as
pirates
to
to
enjoy
the
the
Gasparilla,
be
a
pirate
for
the
day
theme,
while
still
having
tons
of
things
to
do
for
kids
and
families,
and
you
know
you
could
enjoy
the
restaurants
we
had.
C
We
had
a
local
Brewery,
we
had
vendors,
we
had
multiple
bands,
you
know
it's
hard
to
it's
hard
to
pinpoint
a
number
of
people
that
actually
were
there,
but
I.
Think
at
a
you
know.
At
a
certain
point
we
had
about
2500
on
the
streets,
you
know
again,
we
didn't
have
anybody,
you
know
pinpointing
and
counting,
but
but
it
was
pretty
full.
Our
parade
we
had
about
250
volunteer,
Pirates
marched
from.
C
C
Let
me
give
you
some
of
the
some
of
the
details
here,
so
we
think
you
know
for
us.
The
feedback
we
got
was
a
positive
experience
right.
That
was
what
we
wanted
to
create.
We
wanted
to
get
people
down
here
and
have
a
fun
experience
in
downtown,
get
remove
some
of
the
stigma
of
Scaredy
downtown,
which
it's
not
scary.
C
It's
just
people
haven't
been
here
in
a
while
and
let's
get
down
there,
we
have
great
local
businesses,
we
have
vendors
that
are,
you
know,
providing
you
know
their
services
and
things
like
that,
and
so
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
we've
discussed
a
lot
of
and
part
of
our
business
on
a
daily
weekly
monthly
basis
in
Clearwater
is
consistency,
and
so
you
know
people
want
to
know
that
this
is
going
to
happen
again
right
is
they
want
to
know
that
everybody
knows
January?
Last.
C
This
area
you've
known
it
for
years,
that's
what
happens,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
put
our
own
little
footprint
here
on
this
side
to
say:
okay,
cool.
We
also
have
an
alternative
in
this
area.
You
don't
have
to
cross
the
bridge.
You
can
bring
your
kids.
You
can
still
have
a
good
time
down
here
and
that's
you
know.
C
That's
one
of
the
things
that's
most
important
for
us
is
that
consistency
and
and
then
being
there
each
year
and
providing
that
same
type
of
service
each
year-
and
you
know,
we've
had
many
discussions,
saying
probably
you
know
within
three
or
four
years.
If
we're
able
to
do
it,
it
could
probably
probably
be
self-sustaining
by
that
point.
C
You
know
with
with
sponsorships
and
things
like
that,
I
just
it's
hard
to
you
know
it's
hard
to
go
to
the
proper
sponsors.
After
doing
it
once
and
saying.
Well,
we
only
have
a
tiny
little
sample
sample
size
of
what
we
could.
You
know
we
have
here
when
you
know,
year
after
year,
three
or
four
years
now,
it's
a
lot
easier
to
come
in
and
get
some
sponsorship
money
to
to
be
able
to
fund
it
on
its
own
few
little
things
that
you
know
for
us
just
a
little
a
little
extra.
C
You
know
communication.
Obviously
this
is
our
first
time
so
dealing
with
some
of
the
CRA
stuff
and
all
of
the
different
departments
was,
was
challenging
right
as
easy
as
these
people
make
it,
it
still
has
its
its
things
to
get
across,
but
you
know
for
the
most
part.
C
You
know
we
didn't
have
any
issues
with
parking.
We
didn't
have
any
issues
with
overcrow,
you
know
it.
Wasn't
it
wasn't
overcrowded
it?
Wasn't
it
wasn't
empty
it
was
it
just
kind
of
it
just
kind
of
it
fit.
You
know
we
had
two
great
bands
tons
of
kids,
a
lot
a
lot
of
people
and
on
the
follow-up
asking
you
know
for
more
asking
for
more
of
you
know
this.
C
You
know
marketing
wise.
We
hit
well
over
10
000
people
over
social
media.
We
did
an
eddm
campaign
if
you
guys
are
familiar
with
that.
It's
an
everyday
direct
mailer
and
we
chose
specific
neighborhoods
to
drop
our
little
flyers
in
which
we
think
really
made
an
impact.
You
know
for
for
guests
things
like
that
a
lot
of
time
here,
but
thank
you,
I
think,
that's
about
it.
If
you
guys,
you
guys
have
any
questions
for
me.
Overall,
it
was
pretty
good,
pretty
good
event.
D
C
Yeah
yeah
yeah
I'm
we're
talking
to
his
agent,
it's
tough
to
get
to
him
directly,
but
you
know
one
other
thing
is
you
know
now
with
the
with
the
new
park.
That
brings
a
whole
other
element
of
bringing
ships
in,
maybe
you
know
involving
the
mayor
and
the
Pirates
taking
the
taking
over
the
city.
You
know
something
like
that.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
big
plans
for
the
future
and
it's
kind
of
endless
with
this.
C
Events,
100
100,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity.
I
just
think
there
it
needs
there
hasn't
been
a
ton
of
great
quality.
You
know
events
if
you
I,
don't
mean
quality
in,
like
there's
tons
of
small
events
that
that
do
really
well,
but
the
big
stuff
is
Tampa
and
Saint,
Pete
and
I
think
I
mean
nobody
has
this.
You
know
this
is
beautiful
and
there's
an
opportunity
here
for
a
lot
of
different
types
of
things.
C
C
D
Perfect,
thank
you.
Thank
you
and
one
more
4.7
Vicky
the
girl
gang
women's
Market,
vanilla,
Scrolls.
K
Q
Q
Hello,
everyone,
thank
you
so
much
first
I
just
want
to
start
off
by
saying
thank
you.
I
have
written
everything
out
because
I
am
not
a
public
speaker,
but
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
guys
for
giving
us
a
home
for
giving
the
women's
Market
a
home
and
for
Vicki
for
bringing
us
with
her
from
the
sea
dog
cantina.
Q
Also,
your
generosity
and
beliefness
has
been
everything
it's
been
so
impactful
for
the
women
in
our
community
Through
the
investment
of
paid
promotion
on
Instagram
as
well
as
in-person
door-to-door
advertisement.
We
saw
our
attendees
grow
from
300
at
Hollow
Queen
to
750
at
the
March
5th
women's
Market.
Q
We
had
some
great
press
prior
to
the
the
event,
including
an
interview
with
Anne
Kelly
on
105.5
the
dove.
We
also
have
the
privilege
of
being
interviewed
by
Sean
Daly
of
ABC
Action
News,
which
aired
on
February
27th.
We
had
a
couple
of
lives.
O
R
Q
G
B
R
Q
Was
pretty
cool
that
was
amazing?
They
actually
would.
Q
Q
To
also
highlight
some
of
the
small
businesses
we
intentionally
don't
have
food
trucks
to
drive
businesses
to
drive
business
to
the
restaurants
on
Cleveland
Street.
So
these
are
the
images
that
I
took
I'm,
a
professional
photographer
of
the
event.
All
of
these
images,
as
well
as
promotional
photography
that
we
did
prior
to
the
market
as
well
as
photography
of
hollow
Queen,
has
been
given
to
Wiki.
They
are
yours.
Do
with
them
as
you
wish.
Oh
my
question.
We
had.
Q
There
was
just
a
wide
variety
of
so
many
different
people.
We
got
great
traffic
from
the
Pinellas
Trail.
Q
All
of
our
vendors
are
so
they
were
so
extremely
happy
to
be
a
part
of
this
America.
We
had
funders
come
from
Pasco
from
Sarasota
just
to
join
us.
We
had
one
vendor
that
brought
all
of
her
stuff
with
her
in
hopes
that
she,
we
would
just
find
a
space
for
her,
which
we
did
because
we
admire
anybody
that
wants
to
drive
all
that
way
and
take
a
risk
on
being
a
part
of
our
of
our
little
crew,
our
oh
the
graphics.
Q
Q
Our
main
form
of
paid
advertisement
was
Instagram,
so
we
reached
almost
20
000
people.
This
is
only
a
portion
of
what
we
invested.
I
believe
that
this
says:
where
is
it
119.99
15
days?
Prior
to
that?
We
invested
300,
and
we
did
not
take
a
screenshot
of
that
before
we
reboosted,
but
that
was
okay.
It
was
totally
worth
it
and
it's
definitely
something
that
I
feel
like
is
is
a
is
a
worthy
investment.
Q
We
so
we
had
actually
spoken
to
some
of
my
attendees
that
had
returned
from
Clearwater
from
traveling
abroad
and
the
awe
in
their
faces.
If
I
could
have
gotten
that
on
film
to
see
them
come
back
to
Clearwater
after
decades
and
see
what's
happening,
it
was
pretty
inspiring,
there's,
definitely
a
buzz
within
our
community.
That
is
all
about
Clear
Water.
We
are
very,
very
grateful
to
Blair
Valentine
with
the
market
Marie.
Q
D
Q
On
that,
thank
you
guys,
you're
amazing,
thank
you.
I
can
close.
We
Jewel
was
actually
kind
enough
to
invite
us
to
the
celebration
of
Music
Festival
on
June
30th.
We
have
spaces
for
25
vendors.
They
were
gone
within
24
hours.
Q
L
D
All
right
next
up
is
request
for
funding.
We
have
two
requests
tonight:
time
limit
five
minutes
with
the
little
red
light
and
we'll
hold
our
questions
till
after
the
presentation.
First
up
4.8
is
Emily's.
Restaurant
per
sign
from
the
business
assistance
funding,
request,
Lopez,
good.
M
Evening
again
and
Lopez
crac
senior
CRA
manager-
that's
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
tongue.
Twister
I'll
get
there.
This
item
that
I
have
before
you
is
a
request
for
approval
of
a
business
assistance
grant
to
fund
the
fabrication
and
installation
of
the
signage
for
Emily's
restaurant
located
at
101
South
Garden
Avenue.
This
request
aligns
with
the
ddb's
2325
work
plan
goal,
which
is
to
retain
current
businesses
and
attract
new
ones.
Staff
is
recommending
funding
this
grant
in
the
amount
of
ten
thousand
dollars
and
I
have
the
owner
of
Emily's
Anthony
alizakis.
U
B
V
U
H
K
D
U
Will
increase
it
quite
a
bit
because
people,
even
at
the
bus
station,
don't
see
a
small
sign
in
and
then
we
have
I've
been
coming
here
for
eight
years
at
the
bus
station,
but
never
saw
you
right,
wow
yeah
same
probably
for
Fort
Harrison
as
they
drive
by
okay.
Well,
a
lot
of
them
when
they
come
off
the
buses.
U
D
M
As
part
of
your
policy,
you
don't
have
a
50
50
for
business
assistance.
The.
E
Correct
I
do
actually
I
do
have
a
question.
E
Then
they're
15
years,
I'm
just
curious.
Is
there
a
reason
you
never
allocated
funds
to
improve
the
signage.
U
A
couple
of
times,
but
to
code,
which
were
maybe
that
big
I
didn't
go
any
bigger
because
matter
of
fact,
I
got
written
up
two
months
ago
on
a
smaller
sign
that
I
had
out
there.
So
I
had
to
take
that
down
on
the
right
side
of
the
building
the
window
signs.
Yes,
you
know!
So
that's
why
I'm
coming
to
you
guys,
and
hopefully
we
can
work
something
out.
H
Q
E
Sorry
I
do
have
a
suggestion,
do
show
up
at
city
council
meeting
and
communicate
yes,
because
passing
ordinances
that
affect
expansion
of
business,
the
visibility
of
the
business,
especially
in
a
city
that
is
basically,
is
not
all
that
Jazzy.
P
E
Saying
is
that
the
city
council
owners
can
hear
it,
but
passing
too
many
ordinances
it
just
hampers
businesses
I
mean
of
course,
downtown.
Clearwater
is
not
Las
Vegas
with
all
the
lights,
but
those
lights
do
say
something
that
invite
people
come
they're
supposed
to
be
dark
and
not
allow
light
in
the
sign.
It's
just.
U
F
So
I
have
breakfast
at
Tony's
Place
every
Saturday
for
the
last
four
years
right,
so
I'm,
myself
and
others
have
been
assisting
and
I
understand
about
the
all.
The
ordinances
I
actually
had
to
pretty
much
push
back
on
one
of
the
ordinances
that
are
really
severely
affected.
Small
businesses,
which
is
the
delighted
ribbon
lights,
that
small
businesses
usually
use
because
it's
very
cost
effective
and
in
a
way
to
light
up
your
business
and
so
I
understand
that
plight.
F
I
am
the
only
small
business
owner
on
the
on
the
dice,
but
it
is
a
fight
that
I'm
willing
to
take
on
and
Tony
and
I
always
talk
about
it
and
I
will
be
helping
him
as
well.
But
it's
it's
not
an
easy
thing
to
do.
We're
talking
about
bureaucracy,
we're
talking
about
a
lot
of
ordinance
with
a
lot
of
opinions,
but
it's
a
it's
something
I'm
willing
to
take
on.
W
E
So
is
there
against
the
code
for
for
input
at
a
sandwich
like
those
signs,
Sandwich
Board
signs
on
the
sidewalk.
U
The
gentleman
brought
me
a
permit
for
the
city-
it's
25,
I,
didn't
know
it
25,
so
I'm
working
on
that
right
now
to
put
that
in

just
took
that
sign
down
the
other
day
because
they
told
me

was
illegal

multiple

K
This

aligns
with
the

Thanks

is
available
in
the
marketing
category,
the
gdbs
for
the
ddb's
2023
budget.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
introduce
Sherman
sorry
strawman
from
offices
of
directing
services
to
answer
any
questions.
X
I
just
want
to
say,
too
that
we
are
a
bit
honored
to
work
alongside
CRA,
to
help
bring
some
and
bring
a
lot
of
this.
X
This
lemon
culture
series
to
life
they've
been
very
instrumental
in
helping
and,
and
you
know,
being
being
a
part
of
just
planning
these
great
events,
so
we
just
hope
you
know
that
we
can
continue
to
move
forward
with
these
events.
We
think
that
you
know
for
the
downtown
area.
You
know
once
again
create
a
lot
of
traffic,
but
also
just
bring
a
lot
of
positivity
to
the
downtown
area.
So
with
that,
so
once
again,
if
you
guys
have
any
questions,
questions.
E
Are
you
talking
about
no,
the
for
the
living
culture?
Oh
okay?
Okay,
this
ties
into
the
murals
correct,
yeah,.
X
We're
we're
going
to
start
off
we're
looking
at
this
month,
coming
up
with
our
the
rest
of
the
event
of
Casey
dynamicity
event.
That's
coming
up
in
in
May,
so
we'd
like
to
once
again
continue
to
have
some
of
these
events
regularly,
as
we
continue
to
kind
of
partner
with
other
partners
within
the
city
to
try
to
bring
these
events
to
life.
X
This
event,
there's
you
know
we're
we're
focusing
on
the
ddv.
My
office
has
provided
some
funding
with
our
our
all
your
event
that
we're
Limited
in
the
scope
of
funding
that
we
have
so
you
know
we
are
kind
of
reaching
out
to
see
how
we
can
so
we're.
Basically,
this.
X
D
For
Anne
on
the
finances
based
on
what
we
just
approved
the
last
few
months
for
various
organizations,
so
just
so
we're
kind
of
all
on
the
same
page,
I
think
it's
great,
but
if
we
approve
this,
ask
we're
doing
that
from
an
organization
outside
the
city
actually
to
the
city.
Is
it
going
to
fall
in?
Maybe
this
is
more
at
least,
let's
just
fall
into
those
the
policy
we
just
created,
I.
M
N
Event
and
but
if
the
preference
to
people
who
have
had.
B
N
L
An
organized
like
because
here
you're
asking
ten
thousand
and
five
hundred
dollars
for
but
I,
don't
understand
it.
Maybe
there's
no
describing
questions.
K
Doing
some
of
the
behind
the
scenes
too,
so
for
the
assets
for
the
marketing
piece
of
it,
because
we're
actually
marking
certain
communities
in
the
LGBT
community
reaching
out
to
those
communities
as
well,
so
that
we're
making
sure
that
we're
reaching
out
to
everybody
in
that
community
and
then
also
we're
asking
for
the
city
fees,
which
is
the
police
which
the
type
of
events
we're
having.
We
don't
know
what
or
how
many
police
officers
will
need
to
be
engaged.
K
I
said
yoga
and
then
June
29th,
which
is
the
night
cap,
which
is
actually
the
Pro
Shop,
which
is
one
of
the
longest
and
oldest
standing
clubs
in
Clearwater.
So
we
really
wanted
to
help
make
sure
that
we're
supporting
local
mergers
and
businesses,
but
also
supporting
the
pride
month
and
supporting
the
LGBT
community
as
well
too,
and
then
just
about
to
live
in
the
series.
It
is
a
series,
so
it's
it's
four
different
series
that
we
are
celebrating,
but
this
is
the
one
that
we
were
asking
to
help
four.
K
B
D
K
Lots
of
performances,
food
craft
vendors,
spoken,
word,
dance,
performances
and
all
free
for
everybody
in
the
community
to
come
in
and
enjoy
yeah
funded.
X
By
you
yeah,
so
it's
it's
a
it's
a
partnership.
Once
again,
it's
been
tremendous.
We
have
typically
had
a
diversity
Day
event,
which
we
kind
of
it's
kind
of
been
more
of
an
employee
event.
So
you
know,
with
this
partnership,
we're
able
to
incorporate
more
to
comp
Community
as
well
as
continue
to
offer
things
for
our
employees
as
well.
So
it's
kind
of
been
a
staple
event
for
my
office,
but
now
we're
able
to
do
it
more
on
the
grander
states.
H
K
So,
what's
great,
too,
is
for
some
of
these
other
events.
We
do
have
a
group
of
people
in
LGBT
community.
That's
going
to
help
support
these
events
too.
A
trevin's,
Team
they're,
a
great
group
of
people
that
are
helping
us
promote
these
events,
so
that
we
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
a
really
really
well
turned
out
in
all
communities
in
Pinellas
County.
So
with
the
Globe
party
with
we're
excited
about,
is
there
going
to
be
a
DJ?
There's
gonna
be
dancing,
there's
gonna,
be
music.
K
There's
me:
food
glow
in
the
dark
photo
booth,
so
just
a
great
way
for
everybody
to
come
together
and
celebrate
Pride
yoga
is
this
year
before
everybody
they
start
to
unwind
with
meditation
and
then
they're
also
doing
like
a
silent
disco
with
a
DJ
that
has
a
huge
family
named
DJ
has
I
believe
it
is.
K
Don't
quote
me
on
that,
but
I
believe
it's
DJ
Taz
and
then
for
the
June
29th
night
cap
it'll
be
a
fun
music
dancing
and
just
lots
of
Celebration,
so
lots
of
celebrating
and
bringing
everyone
together
for
these
events.
D
Any
other
questions.
Thank
you
guys.
I
appreciate
it
citizen
comments.
None
motion
can
I
get
a
motion.
M
S
one
of
these
days,
since
everyone
knows

am
so,
we
have
obviously
the
last
meeting.
We
informed
everyone
that
Caitlin
Jambo

She
was
no
longer
eligible
to

on
the
board,
so
we
do
have
a
vacancy
open.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
before.
You
start
sorry,

to
cut
you

but
are
you
planning
to
talk
about
the
other
vacancies
that
will
be
coming
too
I?
Will

M
M
I
do
have
five
candidates

I've
provided
you
bios

and
with
all
the

I
have
spoken

explained
to
them
that

tonight

serve
a
term
through
December

when
I
will
begin
your
election
process.
That
I
will
reach
back
out
to
all
of
the
applicants
to
see.
If
they're
interested
in
running
that
we
will
have
two
technically,
we
will
have
three
seats.
M
There
will
be
two
seats
available,
plus
continuation
to
fill
this
seat
for
the
next
three
years.
So
with
that
I
will,
what
I
have
asked
is
I
will
read
a
bio
and
then
I
will
ask
the
applicant

come
forward
just
for
a
couple
of
minutes
to
enter
them,
introduce
themselves
to
you
and
just
explain
to
you
why
they
would
like
to
serve
on
the
hometown
development
board.

I
do
believe

is
very
important.
It's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
did
join

I
do
acknowledge
that
it's
an
honor
to

it
is

Now,
when
we
have
kids
and
we
want
an
event
for
our
families-
I-
that
was
great-
that's
right,
I
fit
right
into
that
demographic
and
so
family,
friendly
events
and
anything
that
makes
clear
water.

helped
bring
people
downtown

past
and
obviously
for
me,
the
development

important
as

could
just
give
it

about
it.

in
her
community
and
with
that
I
would
like
to
introduce
Jennifer
Frazier.
M
Y
At
this
point
that
that
is
relevant
to
this
position,
I
think
that
I'm
an
asset
in
both
the
education
realm,
as
well
as
the
experience
and
I
just
truly
do
love
to
give
back.
I
think
that
it's
important
that,
when
we
work
together
as
a
community,
we're
stronger
together
as
a
community
and
I
think
that
teamwork
is
probably
one
of
my
things
that
I
strive
for
most
in
everything
that
I
do,
whether
it's
business,
whether
it's
among
committees
and
things
like
that
I
think
it's
important
to
have
a
strong
hold
together.
Y
I
do
love
to
volunteer
and
I
do
have
a
lot
of
board
experience
that
I
can
bring
to
the
table
and
I
also
actually
really
like
to
listen
to
opinions
and
evaluate
them
before
I
make
my
own
opinion
and
I
think
that's
important
when
you
deal
with
the
community
that
you're
working
in
they
need
to
know
that
they
can
trust
you
but
you're
going
to
actually
hear
the
words
that
they're
saying
to
you
that
they're,
valued
and
so
I
think
that
I
bring
that
to
the
table.
Y
Bible
also
I'm
a
great
party
planner,
I
love
to
do
events
and
so
I
bring
that
experience
and
knowing
what
it
takes
to
actually
build
a
great
from
small
to
large,
and
so
with
that
I'm.
Just
very
thankful
to
be
here
to
be,
you
know,
just
thought
of
normally
or
originally
from
Kentucky
moved
here
in
September,
because
I'm
shivering,
because
I
realized
that
I
hated
the
cold
so
much,
and
so
it
was
time
to
get
to
Florida.
Y
Our
kids
were
grown
and
I
set
out
to
do
good
here,
wherever
I
landed,
and
so
that's
why
I
want
to
give
back
in
this
room.
So
thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity.
Thank
you.

internalist
and
they
have
four
children
combined.
B
M
And
his
family
moved
to
Florida
after
20
years,
they
selected
Clearwater,
specifically
because
of
the
promise
it
holds
for
the
future.
Currently
he
is
working
at
Bayfront
Health
hospital,
but
is
not
renewing
his
contract
and
is
considering
and
being
considered
for
a
neuro-hospitalities
position
at
Morton
Plant
Hospital,
as
it
represents
something
personally
and
very
near
and
dear
to
him
the
responsibility
and
honor
of
contributing
to
the
community
in
which
he
lives.
M
It
is
in
the
spirit
that
Sean
is
grateful
for
your
consideration
as
a
Downtown
Development
board
candidate,
and
he
feels
that
Clearwater
is
the
best
city
in
the
world
and
there's
no
place
he
would
rather
live.
He
and
his
wife
walked
their
dog
Coda
around
town
and
see
potential,
see
the
potential
just
waiting
to
be
fulfilled.
V
I
figured
if
I
wrote
like
a
three
minute
piece
of
Biotech
I
was
like
am
I
here.
V
Welcome,
thank
you
for
considering
me
I'm
very
thrilled
I'm,
a
very
thrilled
and
interested
citizen
really
of
clear
water,
though
new
we
came
here
a
year
ago,
and
we've
done
just
about
everything
that
you
can
do
in
terms
of
enjoying
what
Clearwater
in
the
region
offers
I
tried
to.
You
know
everywhere:
I
go
home
doctor,
you
know,
and
so
I
I
like
it
when
I'm,
not
necessarily.
You
know
in
a
place
like
this,
and
so
I
heard
my
title.
Neural
Hospitality
I
like
that.
V
You
know
again
I'm
from
Florida
originally
Tallahassee
my
dad
coached
at
Florida,
a
m,
a
couple
national
championships
here
and
as
I
wrote,
the
Florida
a
m
University
I
enjoyed
it
I
think
the
first
time
when
I
lived
in
Florida
I,
probably
didn't
choose
it
for
myself
and
then
looking
for
training
I
ended
up
in
the
Northeast
there's
a
lot
of
Medical
Training
all
concentrated
there
and
when
I
got
more
than
medical
training.
I
met
a
girl
and
you
know
we
started
putting
roots
and
things
I
didn't
know.
V
It
was
going
to
take
like
20
years
actually,
but
my
kids
got
to
the
age
where
they
started
to
go
to
school
and
I
started,
pushing
them
back
to
Florida.
We
pushed
our
oldest
to
go
to
USF.
She
applied
to
a
whole
bunch
of
medical
schools
and
guess
where
she
ended
up
USF
and
so
I
thought
hey
great.
This
is
wonderful,
and
so
that
was
our
first
sort
of
reintroduction
and
then
we
pushed
a
couple
of
others
down.
V
My
son
went
to
Florida
in
it
and
then
we
had
another
daughter
who
went
to
art
school
and
now
they've
all
gone
back
to
New
Jersey.
So
we
as
soon
as
we
got
the
opportunity
to
get
you
know,
I'm
gonna,
say
I
have
to
not
stay
out
of
New
Jersey,
but
you
know
back
to
Florida
we
did,
and
that
was
last
year
and
we,
my
wife,
said
you
know
you
can
pick
the
place.
We
go
as
long
as
I
picked
the
house
and
everywhere
we
went
for
vacations.
V
It
was
all
places
like
Clearwater
and
I
thought.
You
know
I
don't
want
to
just
be
like
enjoying
Paradise,
which
is
two
weeks
out
of
a
year.
You
know,
so,
let's
make
it
a
lifestyle.
So
that's
how
we
ended
up
here
and
I'm
just
thrilled
about
it.
I
mean
I.
Just
can't
even
really
tell
you
and
I
I
have
to
tell
you
this
part,
because
it
is
I,
said
I'm
happy
about
being
considered
for
the
Downtown
Development
board.
V
When
we
look
for
where
we
want
to
live
my
life
church,
the
places
she
selected
someplace
down
downtown
in
Tampa,
first
another
condo
and
on
Water
Street,
and
then
she
also
selected
this
in
water's
edge,
and
we
saw
this
one
second
and
then
you
know
once
we
got
here,
it
wasn't
just
you
know
the
condo,
the
beach
and
the
water
and
all
that
and
I
thought.
Okay.
This
is
it
periods.
You
know
we
put
an
offer
in
that
got
accepted.
V
Okay,
so
anyway,
you
know
I'll
I'll,
wrap
it
up
by
saying
quickly
that
I
came
back
and
then
I
did
a
face.
Time
show
for
downtown
and
she
was
like
oh
wow,
what's
going
on
so
I
have
and
we
have
a
vested
interest
in
seeing
downtown
fulfill
everything
that
it
can
be
in
all
of
clear
water,
so
I'm,
very
a
thrilled
to
be
considered.
Thank
you
so
much.
M
Right,
your
next
applicant
is
Ryan.
Zulik
Ryan
would
first
like
to
thank
you
all
for
this
opportunity.
Although
he
is
not
here
this
evening
and
when
I
did
make
the
call
to
all
the
applicants,
it
was
on
Monday
and
he
was
actually
already
out
of
town,
but
I
do
have
a
video
for
you
once
I
read
his
bio
Ryan
has
always
had
a
passion
and
love
for
construction
and
development
projects.
M
M
M
He
hit
it
off
with
the
owner
where
he
became
the
owner's
rep
and
the
owner
took
him
under
his
wing
teaching
Ryan
everything
he
knew
about
the
business
Ryan's
company
solely
ran
the
division.
Where
he
oversaw
new
construction
projects,
building
Acquisitions
refinances
and
even
the
nitty-gritty
tasks,
such
as
Property
Management
Leasing
and
the
list
goes
on
the
two
years.
He
spent
as
an
owner's
rep
gave
him
incredible
foresight
into
wanted.
What
he
wanted
to
do
with
the
rest
of
his
life,
which
was
construction
and
development.
M
Being
a
part
of
the
Downtown
Development
board
would
mean
a
lot
to
him
as
he
cares
about
his
local
community
and
would
like
to
have
a
voice
on
the
board
to
implement,
to
implement
positive
changes
to
the
downtown
area.
Ryan
has
put
his
Blood
Sweat
and
Tears
into
his
projects
at
5,
20,
5,
22
and
soon
512,
Cleveland,
Street
and
as
and,
if
selected,
we'll
put
the
same
effort
into
being
a
part
of
the
Downtown
Development
board.
S
S
Two
years
ago,
I
worked
for
I
was
the
owner's
rep
for
proud
living
where
I
worked
hand
in
hand
with
the
owner,
everything
from
changing
light
bulbs,
hot
tub
filters,
General,
Brands
maintenance,
the
building,
Acquisitions
inspections
and
I
worked
on
development
plans
for
new
communities,
notably
a
316
unit
complex,
so
I
have
a
pretty
diverse
background
and
I.
Think
that
my
background,
the
Downtown
Development
board
I'm
looking
to
serve
my
community
in
any
way
that
I
can
I
love
getting
back.
S
M
D
Y
B
D
M
Okay,
the
board
has
selected
by
a
majority
vote:
Jennifer
Frazier
wow.
Congratulations.
M
Correct,
yes,
there
will
be
three
open
seats.
I
will
touch
base
with
all
of
the
applicants,
all
seven
that
I
have
spoken
to
to
see
if
they
are
interested
in
in
running
in
your
general
election
or
the
for
this
year.
Thank.
D
You
everybody
for
coming
out
and
and
waiting
two
hours
into
the
meeting.
We
appreciate
your
submitting
the
applications
and
your
concerned
for
the
town
and
hope
to
see
you
in
the
next
run.
Okay,
next
up
is
CRA
updates,
5.2
Eric
digital
advertising
pilot
program.
This
ought
to
be
good.
Z
Hello,
Eric,
CRA
manager,
the
ddb
digital
advertising
pilot
grant
program
is
currently
live
and
we
are
accepting
applications
through
this
Friday
movement.
To
apply
again
is
this
Friday.
So
far
we
have
received
seven
applicants
who
have
submitted
a
complete
application
and
we
have
another
applicant
that
is
in
the
process
a
filling
out
an
application.
We
will
be
reviewing
all
of
those
applications
after
the
deadline
to
determine
eligibility
and
then
award
funding.
Z
000.7
applicants
that
we
have
received
so
far
have
requested
the
maximum
amount
of
funding
of
twenty
five
hundred
dollars.
D
I
got
confirmation
today
from
the
chamber
that
they're
going
to
pump
it
out
tomorrow
on
their
newsletter
line.
Hopefully
we'll
get
more
Plains
Friday,
but
we
do
have
the
privilege
or
right
to
extend
it.
Is
that
correct.
D
Good
postcard
thanks
Eric
Dr
Matthews
CRA
updates.
T
Say
Matthew
CRA,
director
good
evening
I
have
one
main
update
and
you've
pretty
much
heard
and
seen
that
tonight
we've
restructured
the
CRA
to
better
accommodate
downtown
the
park.
That's
coming
the
Mercado
space
and
also
the
upcoming
North
Greenwood,
CRA
and
Lopez.
Previously
cre
specialist
is
now
the
senior
manager
of
the
CRA
and
Eric
and
Vicki
are
CRA.
Managers
Eric
is
covering
now
urban
planning,
as
well
as
information
and
Vicki.
Is
our
programs
manager
moving
forward?
T
We
are
hiring
to
expand
below
the
manager,
level,
add
Specialists
and
coordinators,
and
so
we'll
be
filling
out.
As
you'll
see.
We
have
a
couple
of
positions
posted
right
now,
but
just
wanted
to
update
you
on
that.
So
you'll
be
seeing
new
staff
people
in
the
months
hopefully
soon
to
come
and
we'll
be
training
one
specific
person
in
the
role
of
the
ddb
person
so.
D
We're
you
know
how
many
people
you're
looking
for
to
fill
out
the
whole.
T
F
F
He
is
a
former
mayor
before
so
he
slipped
right
in
very
seamlessly,
so
that
was
good.
We
appointed
Jennifer
pohier
as
a
city
manager.
Negotiations
have
been
complete.
So
now
it's
all
formalized
shoot
so
she's
she's
doing
quite
well
great
addition
to
the
team,
dance,
Lottery,
Chief,
dance
Slaughter
will
no
longer
be
Chief
as
of
next
month
and
he
will
be
the
city
assistant
manager.
F
The
area
from
Myrtle
to
Osceola
will
be
two
lanes.
One
going
east
one
going
west
with
two
very
nice
large
bicycle
paths,
east
of
Myrtle,
then
it
will
be
one
East,
one
West,
with
a
middle
turning
lane.
There
are
concrete
dividers
along
the
way.
Now,
there's
two
schools
of
thought:
there
are
those
who
believe
that
the
project-
that's
that's
being
discussed,
is
the
best
option
and
under
those
who
do
not
both
sides
agree
that
Drew
is
not
safe
city
of
Clearwater,
voted
3-1
or
the
project
and
wrote
a
letter
of
the
poor.
F
So
as
of
last
week,
we
saw
some
some
testing
going
on,
so
that's
still
up
in
the
air
and
it's
evolving
every
minute,
Senator
Hooper
is
working
on
or
has
accomplished
I'm,
not
quite
sure,
I
haven't
confirmed
yet
the
he
will
ensure
or
he's
trying
to
ensure
that
the
funding
will
not
be
lost.
The
project
is
postponed
to
do
further
testing.
So
that's
quite
important.
F
We
don't
want
to
lose
those
funds
if
it
goes
forward,
and
so
that's
basically
what
I
can
add
to
the
commissioner's
report
and
also
I've,
been
approached
by
several
Merchants
as
well
as
residents
who
are
panicking
and
concerned
about
the
400
and
the
500
block
of
Cleveland
to
be
reopened.
They
were
telling
me
that
they
were.
They
were
under
the
perception
that
the
city
council
was
discussing
reopening
it
and
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
saying
that
is
not
correct.
F
There
has
been
no
discussions
of
that
and
that's
it
I
wish
you
all
a
nice
evening.
Thank
you.
L
I
have
a
question
as
a
private
citizen,
mainly
because
I
live
on
the
drill,
Aryan,
Road
and
so
on,
and
it's
absolutely
true.
It's
very
dangerous,
because
when
I
walk
my
dogs,
it's
like
oh
my
God
tonight
or
not,
but
because
the
Downtowner
has
exactly
the
huge
Park.
If
we
reduce
Drew
Street
Tattoo,
basically
one
Eastern,
one
West
how
all
the
cars
goes
down,
because
I
mean
one
lane
right
now
we're
already
having
a
ginormous
traffic
with
two
lanes.
I,
don't
know
if
I
can.
F
I
could
say
is,
that
is
what
one
school
of
thought
agrees
with
you,
that
it
is
again
a
third
funnel
into
downtown
right.
We
funneled
Cleveland,
Street
and
four
hairs,
so
there
are
those
who
feel
and
they
agree
with
you,
and
that
is
a
concern
and
and
then
there's
those
that
feel
that
that
narrowing
this
narrowing
into
two
lanes
is
of
most
importance.
So
the
disagreement
there
and
now
it's
gone
up
to
the
state.
F
The
action
if
it
goes
forward,
the
actual
building,
will
not
be
this
year.
The
actual
you
know,
but
the
process
has
begun
so.
D
F
D
I'm
just
going
to
read
it
if
I
may
ddb
All-Star
award.
D
I
could
list
off
15
right
off
the
top
of
my
head,
so
the
idea
came
from
that.
I
was
thinking
well,
what
a
better
place!
We
have
a
camera
we're
going
to
have
a
website
soon
we
could
give
out
Awards
or
not.
If
there's
nobody
and
then
put
that
as
part
of
what
we're
doing
so.
This
is
the
qualifications
procedures
and
then
Elise
is
going
to.
Let
me
know
if
I've
done
this
right
after
I
read
this
no
have
to
come
back
next
month.
D
It
to
the
camera
and
then
we'll
move
it
forward
from
here,
so
Downtown
Development
board
All-Star
Awards,
which
the
name
can
change
too
I
just
like
All-Stars,
because
I
played
Little
League
recognition
provided
by
the
ddb
to
recipients
that
have
or
are
actively
engaged
within
area
businesses,
events,
projects,
organizations
and
not
for
profits.
D
The
awards
are
to
recognize
positive

contributive
good
works
that
have
occurred
within
the
ddb
boundaries
that
are
in
alignment
within
supporting
ddb
purposes
and
policies.
The
awards
will
initially
be
paper
certificates.
Hence
the
ream
of
paper
allocated
from
the
ddb
administrative
cost,
but
can
grow
into
more
elaborate,
plaques
trophies
Etc.
If
and
when
the
ddb
allocates
funding
for
such
expanded,
Awards
nominations
will
be
submitted
by
a
third
party.
Anyone.
Basically,
the
person
can't
nominate
themselves
right.
The
third
party
recognizing
such
good
works.
D
The
nomination
application
must
include
name,
main
contact,
address
phone
email,
applicable
dates,
type
of
good
work
and
a
short
write-up
of
what
was
done
and
why
someone
should
be
recognized.
Ddb
administrative
staff
will
hand
Lopez
will
verify
the
nominations
and
ensure
recognized
party
is
in
compliance
with
any
ddb
policies
and
procedures
along
with
federal
or
state
anti-discrimination.
D
Also
before
the
awards
are
provided
ddb,
administrative
staff
will
obtain
a
release
form
signature
from
the
needed
parties
to
ensure
no
disagreements
occur
with
any
recognition
that
we
might
put
forth
with
with
the
certificates.
Recipients
will
have
the
choice,
but
will
not
be
required
to
receive
the
awards
in

at
upcoming
ddb
meetings.

a
feel
for
whether
