So
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
ask
everyone
to
ensure
that
your
telephones
are
silenced
and
will
proceed
by
having
all
the
board
members
and
ex-official
members
introduce
themselves
in
the
following
order.
Caitlin.

Good

morphopoulos,

we'll
begin
with
item
two
to
see
I'd
like
to
see,
if
there's
any
citizens
to
be
heard
regarding
items
not
on
the
agenda
before
we
allow
them.
Anyone

F
A
No
thank
you.
Okay,
so
we'll
go
on
to
item
number
three.

of
the
september

2020

Is
there
anyone

Okay,

A
H
A
H
A
A
Ray
okay
so
ray
seconds
it
now
is
there
any
discussion
on
this
item
doesn't
appear
to
be
all
in
favor
aye.
D
A
Any
opposed
it
is
unanimous
now
we're
moving
on
to
item
4.3,
an
update
on
the
homeless
in
our
downtown,
and
that
we
have
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
gabe,
pera
and
sergeant
sergio
fidelis
to
give
us
a
presentation,
welcome
to
the
downtown
development
board
and
we're
looking
forward
to
your
comments.
I
I
I'm
gonna
give
you
just
a
little
brief
overview
of
the
homeless
initiative
before
sergeant
fidelis
give
you
the
really
really
meat
and
potatoes
of
the
update
going
back
in
time,
let's
say
the
real
2012
we
have
close
to
380
homeless
in
the
downtown
corridor
and
the
beach
after
we
established
created
the
homeless
initiative.
I
A
lot
of
things
were
implemented
and
right
now
we
have
somewhere
between
80
90
homeless
in
downtown,
and
the
number
has
grown
up
a
little
because
of
the
pandemic.
That
is
one
of
the
effects
that
we
have
and
there
are
some
homeless
that
are
coming
into
this
area
and
the
one
of
the
more
important
things
to
take
into
consideration
is
that
the
city
was
approved.
Council
approved,
250
000,
to
provide
services
and
to
address
the
homelessness
in
the
city
of
clearwater.
I
We
do
not
provide
direct
services,
but
those
that
funding
goes
to
five
continuum
of
care
providers
that
are
very
important.
They
receive
homeless.
They
really
and
do
a
great
job.
For
instance,
a
safe
harbor
has
428
homeless.
Those
are
428
people
that
are
not
roaming,
the
streets
or
you
know
being
more
visible
and
they
are
receiving
help
to
break
out
the
cycle
of
homelessness.
I
One
of
the
important
things
that
we
have
with
safe
harbor
is
the
jail
diversion
program
for
those
who
are
not
familiar
with
it.
It
is,
let's
say
a
homeless
individual
is
picked
up
in
the
city.
I
Any
transgression
that
requires
you
know
to
be
taken
to
the
jail
or
you
know,
any
type
of
punishment.
At
that
time,
the
homeless
person
will
be
given
an
option.
I
You
go
to
jail
now
or
we
will
take
you
to
safe
harbor,
which
is
a
quasi
shelter
when
they
will
receive
the
first
like
a
triage,
to
find
out
what
are
the
reason
of
this
person's
homelessness
and
to
direct
it
to
case
managers.
It
doesn't
mean
that
the
transgression
is
forgiven.
I
I
If
you
would
like
to
know
about
the
homeless
initiative,
the
pandemic
has
affected
us
in
many
ways,
like
everybody
else,
and
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
had
was
toilets
and
showers,
because
the
places
were
closed
where
they
used
to
go
and
use
the
restroom
and
the
places
when
they
used
to
go
like
the
soup
kitchen
to
do
the
laundry
and
to
take
a
shower,
it
was
close
to
so
the
city
hired
a
shower
service.
This
is
a
truck
that
goes
twice
a
month
to
a
place.
I
Actually,
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
have
the
collaboration
of
the
refuge
church
on
606
alden
street,
and
this
is
where
this
truck
comes
and
they
are
able
to
have
a
one
load
of
laundry
and
to
take
a
shower.
We
also
placed
an
additional
portable
toilet
in
coachman
park,
and
the
community
kitchen
at
the
soup
kitchen
is
in
vince
de
paul.
We
also
have
one
portable
toilet
at
the
vacant
lot
next
to
the
police
department,
so
we
have
that
and
we're
going
to
extend
the
services
until
december
31st.
I
This
is
where
we
have
the
approval
for,
let's
see
where
we'll
be
at
at
that
particular
time.
So,
regarding
the
downtown
sergio
fidelis
is
the
authority
and
has
all
the
information
on
this
particular
issue
and
do
you
have
any
questions
before
the
spotlight
goes
to
sergio
fidelis.
I
Now
we
have
that
breakdown,
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me.
We
have
the
monthly
count.
If
you
would
like,
we
will
be
able
to
provide
that
that
is
actually
data
collected
by
sergeant
fidelis
and
his
downtown
bike
team.
They
have
that
breakdown
exactly
where
this
new
influx
of
homeless
are.
We
can
get
that
information
to
you.
A
I
G
Parra
you
mentioned
about
the
breaking
the
homeless
cycle.
Can
you
give
me
a
little
bit
of
some
color
on
that.
I
I
Find
out
what
is
the
reason
that
this
person
is
homeless?
What
is
the
need
that
this
person
have,
it
could
be
mental?
It
could
be
detox
could
be
just
financial.
It
could
be
so
many
things
that
then
they
will
be
able
to
guide
this
person
through
the
process.
Again,
the
goal
is
to
break
the
cycle.
It
will
be
if
his
detox,
they
will
send
them
to
one
of
the
agencies
that
provide
the
service.
If
his
mental
health,
they
will
be
referring
them
to
direction
for
living
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
I
D
A
D
A
Pass
the
torch
over
to
clearwater
police.
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
sergeant
sergio
fidelis
colorado
police
department,
it's
a
pleasure
being
with
everyone
today,
so
I'm
excited
about
what
is
going
to
happen
in
your
future
and
I'm
going
to
let
you
know
what
we've
been
doing
during
covet
even
before
that,
since
the
last
meeting
that
I
attended
right
now
to
answer
a
question
there
earlier,
we
have
an
average
about
85
homeless
persons.
J
Currently
in
clearwater
that
we
count
monthly
at
times
it
has
gone
all
the
way
up
to
110
due
to
the
time
of
of
of
the
year.
You
know
winter
people
come
down
more
from
the
north,
but
it's
about
that's
about
the
average
number
I
would
say
about.
80
percent
of
that
number
is
closer
to
the
downtown
to
near
highland
and
cleveland
area.
It
kind
of
goes
back
and
forth
at
times
they'll
spread
over
to
the
eastern
part
of
clearwater
in
a
golf
to
bed
corridor.
J
What
my
team-
and
I
do
is
we
work
together
with
other
departments
with
business
owners
downtown
on
a
daily
basis.
I
especially
now
that
cleveland
area
is
closed.
The
400-500
block
of
cleveland
is
closed.
I
try
to
make
contact
with
business
owners
there.
We,
my
team
and
I
come
early
in
the
morning
at
least
five
to
six
days
a
week,
and
we
will
check
businesses
for
people
sleeping
behind
businesses.
We
we
continue
to
do
that.
J
I
we
will
always
do
that
because
I
don't
want-
and
I
know
this
happens
and
we
do
the
best
we
can
to
make
it
make
sure
it
doesn't
happen
where
some
business
owner
comes
to
work
and
there
is
a
homeless
person
sleeping
on
their
property
or
their
items
there.
My
team
and
I
try
to
come
in
as
early
as
possible
to
try
to
eliminate
that
that
issue.
Is
it
perfect?
No,
because
sometimes
they'll
move
around
there's
some
properties
that
people
won't
give
up.
So
we
do
the
trespass
affidavit
program
with
that
business.
J
We
I
we
give
it
the
business
that
business
qualifies
in
the
trespass
half
a
day
program.
We
get
that
program
going
for
them
and
assist
the
pers,
the
business
and
trespassing
people,
the
cleveland
area,
the
area
that's
closed
right
now,
the
4,
400
and
500
block
area
working
continuously
with
the
business
owners
there
to
make
sure
those
restaurants
are
successful.
Those
businesses
are
successful.
Where
you
don't
have
a
homeless
person,
you
know
bothering
the
guests
or
doing
things
you're
not
supposed
to
do
there
in
the
area.
J
I
feel
like
we've
had
success
in
that
again:
nothing's
perfect
we're
we're
always
communicating
with
the
business
owners
downtown
to
make
that
make
that
better
and
in
the
evening
time,
in
the
daytime,
we
we
definitely
are
very,
very
try
to
be
as
president
as
possible.
I
want
to
also
talk
about.
Does
anybody
have
a
question
about
that?
The
downtown
area
that's
closed
there
or
the
numbers.
J
Okay,
thank
you.
What
I
can
say
now
is
we're
we're
we
transport,
we
transport
a
total
of
246
people
to
safe
harbor
in
this
fiscal
year
from
last
october.
First
until
this
moment,
and
obviously
if
we
have
82
people
that
are
the
average
82
people
that
are
in
their
homeless
in
our
area,
any
transport
46
there
shouldn't
be
any
right.
J
But
what
happens
is
that
we
try
to
identify
new
people
that
come
here
and
try
to
get
them
services
right
away
the
longer
you
start
staying
homeless,
the
longer
you
will
stay,
so
we
try
to
identify
new
people
and
try
to
get
them
to
services
like
that,
and
you
know
sometimes
a
homeless
person
will
come
back,
but
most
of
the
time
they'll
they'll
stay
in
the
shelters
if
they
haven't
been
homeless
very
long.
J
So
my
team
and
I
are
still
committed
to
do
that
and
I'm
very
happy
with
that
process,
and
it's
not
just
my
team
patrol
officers
also
to
do
as
city-wide.
So
that
is
something
that
you
know
we're
very
happy.
In
fact,
city-wide
it's
been
a
171
from
patrol
and
75
from
just
my
team.
It's
a
team
of
five,
so
we
continue
to
be
motivated.
We
identify
people
that
are
new
to
the
area
specifically
and
try
to
get
them
services.
J
We
work
with
karen
maine
from
directions
of
mental
health,
to
try
to
get
families
that
are
homeless,
try
to
get
them
quickly
into
a
hotel
or
a
different
shelter
that
has
also
been
successful
even
during
covid.
To
be
honest
with
you,
we've
been
able
to
communicate
with
that
organization
very
well
and
get
people
that
recently
homeless
or
families
and
get
them
to
move
on
to
not
be
so.
I'm
I'm
happy
with
that
process.
Also.
J
What
we're
doing
and
what
we're
committed
to
is
to
make
sure
that
the
businesses
downtown
are
very
successful
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
on
the
presence
that
we're
doing
communicating
with
the
business
owners
downtown
the
trespass
affidavit
program,
but
we
also
we're
doing,
is
working
with
other
city
employees
that
from
cleaning
things
up,
we
try
to
communicate
with
them
quickly.
They
communicate
to
us.
If
something
is
needed,
we
definitely
respond
as
quickly
as
we
can
to
that
need
chief
slaughter.
H
J
Amanda
thompson
are
interested
in
the
program
that
I
that
I've
developed
to
try
to
identify,
because
what
happens
is
not.
Everyone
wants
to
go
to
a
shelter,
okay,
there's
some
homeless
that
are
chronic,
homeless
and
someone's
been
homeless
several
years,
and
they
do
not
want
to
go
to
a
shelter.
Now,
that's
that
program
is
still
very
successful
as
far
as
taking
people
safe
harbor,
as
I
mentioned
246
with
for
this
year,
but
I
feel
like
we
have
the
opportunity
now
and
I
think
this
is
going
to
benefit
the
downtown
area.
J
Is
we
have
a
program
that
was
recently
approved
by
by
city
council
and
we're
going
to
have
a
person
interview
people
in
the
street,
so
they
will
be
working
with
my
team
and
we
will
identify
people
and
actually
interview
them
on
industry,
see
why
they're
homeless,
just
like
the
shelter
does,
but
the
problem
is
that
the
people
that
I'm
focusing
on
have
no
interest
in
going
to
any
shelter,
they've,
probably
been
before
or
heard
it's
enough
for
them,
or
there
are
too
many
rules.
J
So
we
want
to
do
is
why
I
want
to
identify
on
the
street
what
kind
of
services
we
can
provide
that
person?
What
what
will
they
do
in
order
to
go
to
a
shelter
one
day
or
to
get
substance,
abuse
issue
or
mental
health
assistance,
or
even
try
out
a
system
and
working
with
churches
and
non-profits
to
maybe
go
back
to
another
state
state
where
they're
from
where
they
have
family?
So
I
think
that
you
know
from
obviously
before
from
380
down
to
about
85.
J
I
you
know
the
objective
is
to
reduce
that
number
and
try
to
get
people
assistance
and
reduce
the
number
of
homeless
people,
because,
obviously
the
mission
is
to
have
no
one
be
homeless.
Obviously,
so
we
want
to
be
ahead
and
we
want
to
change
the
dynamic
a
little
bit
and
instead
of
having
a
broad
approach
and
trying
to
have
everyone
kind
of
go
into
the
same
kind
of
program,
every
everybody's,
an
individual.
H
J
I'm
I'm
very
happy
that
amanda
thompson
and
the
chief
have
supported
this,
and
obviously
city
council
authorizes
it.
So
I
think
it's
really
gonna
be
something
that's
gonna
be
beneficial.
E
Thank
you
for
that
last
answer
that
that
actually
answers
much
of
what
I
was
concerned
about.
E
I
was
wondering
if
the
city
had
any
type
of
relationship
with
these
chronic
homeless
folks
out
there,
if
you
knew
my
name,
if
you
knew
their
story,
so
thanks
for
reminding
me
that
you're
you're
doing
those
interviews
now
on
the
street
for
those
folks
who
are
chronically
homeless,
is
there
any
sense
that
if
we
provided
them
a
home,
not
you
know
the
relative
safety
of
a
shelter
where
there
seems
to
be
lots
of
problems,
but
if
they
were
provided
a
home,
would
they
accept
it
or
do
they
want
to
be
on
the
street.
J
Well,
sir,
thank
you
for
the
question
d.
So
I've
been
I've
been
in
this
position
for
two
years
and
I
have
had.
I
have
officers
that
are
you
know,
they're
compassionate.
I
teach
them
to
be
respectful
to
the
homeless
person
and
understand
that
that
could
happen
to
anyone.
So
once
they
come
to
my
team,
that's
how
I
train
them,
you
will,
you
will
be
respectful.
J
Obviously
we
are
authorities.
So
sometimes
you
know
the
conversation
changes
a
little
bit,
but
but
most
contacts
are
we
want
to
provide
them
shelter
we
catch
them
drinking.
If
we
catch
them
behind
a
business.
We
still
offer
that.
That
is
something
that
I
it
is.
It
is
a
non-negotiable
thing.
I
would
train
my
officers
that
way.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
is
now,
since
I've
been
doing
this
for
two
years,
I
speak
to
them.
I
get
to
report
them.
J
I
know
I
know
where
they're
from
I
know
a
lot
of
things
about
them,
but
I
feel
like
this
program
that
we're
trying
to
get
right
now
is
an
actual
civilian.
It
wouldn't
be
an
officer
because
you
know
at
times
we've
arrested
them
at
times.
You
know
you
know
things
have
happened
where
you
know
the
trust
as
far
as
to
go,
that
far
as
to
open
up
your
entire
life
about.
Why
am
I
homeless,
and
how
can
I
help?
J
What
we
want
to
do
is
get
a
civilian
to
get
that
a
better
rapport
with
them
and
also
follow
up.
J
So
if
we
get
you
into
a
mental
health
program
once
you
that
that
citizen
that
the
civilian
is
going
to
know
when
you're
coming
out,
try
to
already
be
proactive
in
the
next
process
of
where
you're
going
to
go
and
therefore,
if
you
can
address
start
addressing
the
the
main
reasons
why
you
became
homeless,
then
okay
from
there
with
the
chances,
are
going
to
be
reduced
that
you're
going
to
want
to
continue
to
be
homeless.
If
you've
addressed.
J
You
know
the
main
problems
now
and
if
you
have
a
person
following
up
and
assisting
that
person,
you
know
and
trying
to
go
to
the
next
level
and
then
try
to
get.
But
I
think
I
really
believe
that
if
we
do
have
places
that
would
accept
the
person
like
that
after
they've
been
through
a
program
where
they've,
actually,
you
know,
made
some
some
effort
into
trying
to
get
there
and
then
the
goal
is
to
get
them
into
that
one
place
and
show
them
like
look.
J
If
you
go
through
this
program,
then
you
can
potentially
get
this
place.
I
think
it
would
be
a
benefit,
but
I
wouldn't
I
don't
think
in
all
the
conversations
I've
had
is.
If
we
just
say
here
we're
going
to
give
you
a
home,
I
believe
that
they're
still
going
to
come
out
they're
still
going
to
have
problems
and
they
might
even
bring
you
know
more
people
in
that
area
and
cause
problems
for
that
program.
J
But
I
feel
like
people
need
to
there's
tribute
levels
to
what
what
that
individual
is
willing
to
do,
how
much
work
are
they
willing
to
do
in
order
to
get
to
a
program
like
that
where
they
get
a
home?
So
from
my
experience,
that's
what
I
believe,
but
I'm
always
open-minded
to
any
suggestions.
Of
course.
Thank
you.
Yes,
sir.
A
Anyone
else
amanda,
you
had
something
to
say.
K
I
I
just
wanted
the
sergeant
before
we
leave
the
conversation
just
to
touch
on
from
a
business
owner
perspective,
what
their
rights
are
right,
so
what
homeless
persons
can
and
cannot
do,
because
I
think
sometimes
it
can
be
confusing
for
the
average
person
right
well.
Why
can't
the
police
get
involved
at
this
time,
but
they
can
at
another
time
so
just
just
briefly
covering
what
the
rights
are.
J
Okay,
so
as
a
owner
of
a
business
or
even
owner
of
a
residence,
you
and
you
have
the
right
to
refuse
anybody
to
come
in
if
you're,
a
business
owner
downtown.
You
have
someone
that's
coming
in
and
and
not
utilizing
the
services,
the
business
not
purchasing
anything
and
that
business
owner
has
the
right
to
ask
them
to
leave
okay,
if
they're
causing
a
disturbance,
they
have
the
right
to
ask
them
to
leave.
If
the
person
doesn't
leave,
you
can
call
the
cleveland
police
department
and
we
can
get
them.
J
We
can
trespass
them
when
the
business
is
open.
The
owner
and
the
manager
or
whoever's
represented
that
business
can
tell
anyone
to
leave
as
long
as
not
discriminating
against.
J
Race,
their
gender
things
like
that,
so
they
have
the
right
to
refuse
service
and,
if
they're,
causing
an
issue
for
them
or
disturbance.
When
the
business
is
closed
and
if
they
are
part
of
this
trespass
affidavit
program,
then
it
gives
the
authority
of
the
clover
police
department.
J
If
they
see
somebody
sleeping
on
the
property
or
or
just
loitering
on
their
property,
then
we
can
act
as
the
agent
at
that
time,
but
a
business
owner
definitely
has
a
lot
of
authority
and
power
to
refuse,
have
anyone
there
and
trespass
anyone
they
anyone
they
like.
A
L
I
have
two
questions
regarding
the
homeless
people
at
the
7-eleven
gas
station:
okay,
southeast
avenue
and
court
street.
They
have
benches
at
the
back
of
the
gas
station
in
the
in
which
the
homeless
people
are
always
sitting.
Does
the
gas
station
encourage
them
to
sit
on
these
benches?
Is
it
legal
for
them
to
congregate
at
the
back
of
the
seven
eleven
gas
station,
because
this
is
a
private
property.
J
Yes,
so
the
7-eleven
I've
spoken
to
the
manager
there,
I
guess,
is
a
new
management
right
now.
Obviously
it's
corporate
owned,
so
they
don't
have
the
authority
to
remove
the
benches.
When
you
know
I
do
make
contact
with
them.
When
I
do
make
contact
with
them,
I
ask
them:
do
you
want
people
in
the
back?
Trespass
sometimes
they'll
call
us,
but
they
have
the
power
to
trespass.
We
don't.
J
I
can't
walk
out
to
anyone
on
that
bench
and
tell
and
order
them
to
leave
because
they're
on
private
property
and
if
the
business
is
allowing
them
to
do
that,
then
I
really
can't
tell
them
to
leave,
but
I
have
spoken
to
them
and
they
are
going
to
contact
corporate
to
see
if
they
can
have
the
benches
removed
and
also
I
go
there
every
single
day
that
I'm
working
and
I
speak
to
them,
and
I
say
you
know:
do
you
do
you
want
anyone
trespass
today
and
sometimes
they
will
and
sometimes
they
they
won't,
there's
certain
ones
that
they
have
their
customers.
J
Also,
you
know,
but
they
do
congregate
there
and
I
I
notice
I've
noticed
a
lot
of
people
go
in
there
more,
so
I'm
actually
been
working
on
trying
to
contact
corporate
see
what
they'd
like
to
do
and
kind
of
paint
the
picture
a
little
better
since
the
management
changed.
I'm
not
sure.
If
they're
aware
of
how
serious
the
problem
is
getting
so
yeah
that
business
is
the
only
people
to
have
the
power
to
actually
tell
people
to
leave
at
the
moment
lawfully.
L
L
So
do
you
think
that
once
the
station
square
park
opens
again,
I
guess
it
is
temporarily
closed
because
of
the
covet
closure,
there's
a
chance
that
all
these
homeless
people
will
come
from
the
711
gas
station,
the
psta
and
I
think
the
feeding
parking
lot
opposite,
the
clearwater
police
department.
Do
you
think
all
of
them
would
again
come
to
the
station
square
park.
Like
you
know
like
six
months
ago
before
which
started?
Do
you
think
this
is
a
temporary
shift
in
them
to
these
areas
and
they
will
again
come
back
to
stations.
Therefore,.
J
Well,
to
be
honest
with
you,
I
worked
with
amanda
on
this
and
we
we
have
cameras
in
that
location
now,
so
I'm
sure
there
will
be
some
that
will
come
back,
there's
some
that
have
been
in
that
park
for
a
very
long
time.
I
would
not.
I
do
not
think
all
of
the
people
that
are
in
every
location
you
mentioned
will
come
back.
I
do
not
think
that,
and
I
also
think
that
the
cameras
will
definitely
deter
the
criminal
homeless
to
go
there.
J
They
don't
do
any
narcotics,
don't
do
anything
really
illegal,
so
they
will
hang
out
there
and
it's
usually,
I
would
say,
there's
three
that
are
always
there
and
then
some
come
and
go,
but
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
reduced
number
just
because
the
cameras
are
there
and
so
the
ones
that
commit
crimes
are
not
going
to
want
to
go
somewhere
where
we
can
see
what
they're
doing,
and
we
can
make
physical
arrests
on
somebody
just
by
what
we
can
see
on
the
camera
from
a
different
location.
So
I'm
encouraged
about
that.
J
I
think
that
was
a
a
really
good
decision
by
amanda
and
chief
slaughter
to
to
do
that
and
the
city
implemented.
So
I
no,
I
think
the
park
is
going
to
be
okay.
I
do
I
will
say
there
will
be
some,
but
not
not
all
the
people
will
congregate
there.
I
do
nothing.
L
And
from
your
opinion,
do
you
think
if
there's
any
city
ordinance
that
is
passed
from
letting
these
homeless
people
bring
like
their
whole
baggage,
like
they're
carrying
all
their?
You
know
their
food,
their
clothes
and
everything,
and
I
think
some
cities
in
united
states.
They
have
ordinances
where
a
person
cannot
bring
their
whole
baggage
into
the
park.
Do
you
think
that
kind
of
an
ordinance
will
help
you
better,
protect
the
park
or
you
think
only
programs
trying
to
move
them
to
the
safe
house
or
move
them
to
another
program?
L
J
Yes-
and
this
is
why
you
know
it's
so
important-
that
the
cra
and
the
poor
performers
go
in
the
direction
of
trying
to
assist
them,
so
they
won't
be
homeless
more.
J
You
know
addition
to
all
the
programs
that
are
currently
out
there
just
a
different
approach
as
far
as
the
ordinances-
that's
something
that
I
I
cannot
make,
but
I
also
think
that
it's
kind
of
difficult
to
do
at
the
moment,
but
that's
why
we're
trying
this
this
new
approach
here
in
the
near
future,
like
I
said
we
communicate
well
with
them
and
we
try
to
you
know
if
I
walk
up
to
a
gentleman
and
he
has
four
bags,
you
know
I
definitely
talk
to
him
and
my
officers
do
too
and
we
try
to
discourage
that
and
we
have
enough
respect
for
most
of
the
time
we'll
get
compliance.
M
M
H
H
M
Is
an
ongoing
one?
It
is
never
easy.
There
are
some
hardcore
homeless
that
we
have
great
programs
through
hep
and
vanilla's
hope
and
others,
but
some
of
them
are
never
going
to
avail
themselves
of
those
services
and
we
do
have
limitations
on
what
we
can
do
and
I
would
love
to
eliminate
the
homeless
first
of
all
to
help
them
and,
secondly,
to
rid
the
problem.
M
M
I
don't
want
to
put
frivolous
ordinances
into
place
that
we
don't
have
the
manpower
to
actually
follow
through
on
so
one
of
the
things
with
all
the
businesses
that
all
of
you
know,
I
encourage
them
to
go
ahead
and
call
the
police
if
there
is
activity
that
is
unacceptable
and
we
probably
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
informing
people
of
what
that
is,
because
there
are
some
things
we
just
can't
react
to,
because
they
are
not
they're,
not
criminal,
they
don't
break
our
ordinances,
but
we
understand
it's
an
ongoing
problem.
M
We
try
to
balance
the
level
of
services
that
we
provide
so
that
it's
not
enticing
to
come
to
downtown
clearwater,
but
also
that
we're
being
humane,
and
it
is
a
difficult
balancing
act,
but
we,
this
will
continue
to
be
an
issue
that
we're
going
to
keep
an
eye
on,
and
I
know
that
it
negatively
impacts
our
businesses
and
our
citizens.
M
The
best
defense
is
getting
downtown
moving
in
the
right
direction,
because
when
you
do
that
the
homeless
tend
to
move
away
because
they
don't
want
to
be
around
a
lot
bunch
of
activity,
you
know
and
vibrancy.
They
pretty
much
want
to
be
left
alone,
and
you
know,
as
downtown
becomes
revitalized,
probably
the
homeless
pro
problem
is
going
to
get
minimized.
A
Sergeant
fidelis,
my
my
interest
in
asking
you
and
mr
power
to
come
and
speak
to
us
today
was
I've
had
some
reports
from
business
owners
in
the
in
the
district,
and
I
I'm
extremely
heartened
by
the
statistics
on
what's
been
done
over
and
accomplished
over
the
years
to
reduce
the
number
of
people
that
fell
into
homelessness,
that,
through
our
programs
through
the
cities
and
the
county
programs,
have
recovered
their.
You
know:
they've
resolved
the
homeless
situation,
and
they
are,
you
know
situated
now.
A
I'm
my
attention
is
not
so
much
on
all
the
successes
we've
had,
but
on
the
on
the
ones
that
we,
where
we
haven't,
succeeded
the
hardcore
homeless.
That
really
doesn't
want
anybody's
help
or
or
interference,
and
that
are
committing.
I
don't
know
that
I
don't
know
if
you
call
them
crimes
or
just
nuisances
like
the
public,
defecation
or
public
urination
or
leaving
their
their
trash
or
sleeping
in
doorways
the
people
that
absolutely
just
are
uncooperative
and
just
unwilling
to
reform
or
to
follow
your
instructions.
What
is
our
stance
on
those?
Can
they
be
removed.
J
Well,
if
someone
defecates
or
urinates
in
public,
obviously
they
can
be
arrested.
So
it's
you
know
and
also
panhandling,
sometimes
aggressive
pain,
aggressive
panhandling
can
definitely
be
arrested.
So
the
thing
is:
is
that
although
my
officers
and
I
try
to
be
very
present-
there-
sometimes
we're
not
mainly
on
the
cleveland
street
corridor,
we're
kind
of
you
know:
court
street
chestnut,
sometimes
we're
in
drew
most
of
the
time,
are
by
the
library
and
at
times
we
go
to
the
east
gateway
area
also
and
work
there.
J
So
you
know
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
just
I
see
this
action
and
I
take
action
because
I
see
enough
because
a
business
owner
sees
it
so
what
I
will
say
is
communication
and
working
together.
So
I,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
you
know
I
work
very
well
with
other
city
employees
and
other
city
departments
to
address
issues,
but
the
the
business
owners
downtown.
If
you
see
something
like
that,
you
know
that's
information
that
we
need
to
know.
J
J
You
know
the
race
of
the
person
what
they're
wearing
you
know
their
height
if
they've
left
what
direction
they're
going,
those
things
are
very
important
to
us,
because
we
can
we,
we
might
know
just
by
that
description.
Sometimes
you
know
who
they
are
and
try
to
address
those
problems.
So
the
more
communication
that
have
occurred.
J
You
know
immediate
communication
with
the
non-emergency
number
for
the
club
police
department,
727
56242,
the
more
the
quicker
that
communication,
the
better
results,
and
if
we're
getting
calls
on
this
and
we're
able
to
react
and
deter
this,
then
they
will
start
going
somewhere
else.
You
know,
hopefully
not
continue
to
do
that
in
that
area.
Now
you
know
from
you
know,
and
obviously
the
trespassing
like
I
mentioned
before.
J
If
you
sir
call
and
your
someone
does
something
in
your
business
right
and
we
get
there
across
the
street
or
you
know
just
maybe
half
a
block
away.
We
can
trespass
that
person.
If
that
person
is
trespassed,
then
they
won't
be
able
to
come
back
for
for
a
year
on
that
property
if
they
do
they'll
be
arrested.
For
me,
that
has
been
something
that
has
worked
very
well
but
again
communicate
with
the
cluewater
police
department.
Any
illegal
activity
harassing
your
customers
for
for
money.
J
Specifically,
I've
had
that
recently
and
a
lot
of
business
owners
were
calling
me.
You
know
basically
24
hours
a
day
if
it's
something
like
that,
and
I
try
to
address
it
right
away
and
they'll
call
non-emergency
number
also
and
also
come
out,
so
they
can.
Obviously
there
are
priorities.
You
know
if
there's
a
domestic,
what
violence
dolphins
are
going
to
go
there
first,
but
we
will
definitely
respond
quickly.
J
We
can
you
have
a
really
dedicated
team
in
the
downtown
area
that
if
you
call
sometimes
we're
half
a
block
away,
we
might
be
dealing
with
something
at
the
bus,
stop
and
something's
happening
in
cleveland
and
osceola
and
we're
a
half
a
block.
We
can
get
there
in
seconds
or
in
minutes,
so
I
I
feel
that
communication
is
definitely
key
to
winning
that
battle.
C
Good,
thank
you.
First,
thanks
for
all
the
effort
that
what
you're
doing
my
business
has
been
here
15
years,
I've
seen
a
tremendous
change
in
this
problem.
Myself
from
you
know
the
lollapalooza
that
used
to
occur
in
our
back
parking
lot
to
what
we
have
today
is
it's
a
major
change
for
the
better.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
also
kind
of
in
alignment
with
what
the
mayor
was
saying
as
far
as
activity.
C
I
guess
my
question
is
this:
I
see
the
same
thing
when
there's
down
at
the
beach.
I
don't
see
the
density
of
homelessness.
As
we
see
you
know
it
comes
and
goes
here
and
waves
is.
There
are
the
rules
that
you
apply
or
the
procedures
you
apply.
I
assume,
but
I'm
just
going
to
ask
you.
I
assume
they're
standard
all
the
way
across
the
city
from
beach
to
downtown
to
countryside.
Is
that
correct.
J
It
all
the
rules
are
the
same.
Yes,
city-wide
the
count.
The
ordinances
to
you
know
the
criminal
statutes.
C
J
Yeah,
so
there's
more,
there
are
more
parks
here
too,
so
that
contributes
to
some
of
it.
You
know
what
what
I
would
say
is
that
the
beach
they
did
they
do
have
their
issues
there
too,
and
sometimes
they'll
migrate
over
there.
They'll
hang
out
a
few
hours
and
they'll
come
back,
so
they
they
move
back
and
forth.
But
so
you
know
to
be
honest
with
you.
I
know
for
a
fact
that
you
know
85
homeless
people
are
not
in
the
downtown
area.
J
We
would
see
a
lot
more,
you
know,
so
they
kind
of
spread
out.
They
kind
of
go
east
side,
east
of
that
area,
to
the
gulf
to
bay
corridor
at
times
too,
in
other
parks.
So
my
officers,
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
they're
doing,
but
you
know
we
understand
it's
very
challenging
and
that
at
times
you
know
we
will
try
to
respond
as
quickly
as
we
can
to
certain
situations.
J
But
you
know
we
want
to
work
as
a
team
with
with
the
owners
and
the
citizens
to
try
to
make
this
problem
better
and
then
hopefully,
this
program
will
get
some
of
them
to
permanently
be.
You
know
go
into
a
home
and
be
less
people,
obviously
in
a
downtown
area
that
are
doing
that
so,
but
you
know
take
I
I
would
say
just
you
know
you
have
the
power
in
your
business.
You
know
you
we
want.
You
know
each
business
here
to
be
successful.
J
So
in
order
for
that
to
happen,
if,
if
a
person
that
is,
you
know
panhandling
or
doing
something
somewhere,
and
they
know
that
that
business
is
always
going
to
call
the
police,
because
you
know
they
don't
want
that
activity
anymore,
they
will
that
individual
specifically
will
not
come
back.
If
they
see
that
they're
constantly
in
police
contact,
they
won't
come
back
to
that
specific
business
and
if
we
can
continue
to
work
together,
I
believe
that
it's
going
to
be
beneficial
to
that
business,
in
other
words,
around.
A
Yeah
sergeant
fidelis,
I
I'm
just
curious.
I
I
don't
think
that
out
of
the
85
people
that
they
each
equally
contribute
to
the
the
problems
that
occur,
the
nuisances
that
occur
downtown.
A
I
think
it's
some
small
fraction
of
them
that
are
repeat
offenders
over
and
over
and
over
again
do
you
have
a
feel
for
what
percentage
of
that
85
is
the
hardcore
problem?
That's
the
that
are
the
repeat
offenders
and
what
can
be
done
to
you
know
to
have
more
more
significant
or
more
permanent
consequences.
J
Sure,
between
seven
and
ten
percent
of
the
ones
that
are
downtown,
I
believe,
are
engaging
in
before
we
had
a
pretty
significant
spice
issue.
So
you
know
two
years
ago,
when
I
first
got
here,
my
objective
was
to
reduce
the
the
amount
of
spice
that
was
in
the
area,
and
we
have
been
successful
with
that
which
has
reduced
the
panhandling,
which
was
I
mean.
It
was
a
lot
more
significant
before
so.
J
By
doing
that,
the
people
that
you
know
wanted
to
get
a
dollar
to
from
somebody
you
know
or
five
dollars
to
buy
spice
and
there's
less
spice.
They
have
to
go,
they
have
to
go
to
largo.
Now
they
have
to
go
to.
You
know
dunedin,
to
get
you
know
these
drugs
and
they're
not
going
to
walk
around
with
them,
so
they
usually
do
the
drugs
there.
J
So
the
number
of
I
believe
I
believe
that
right
there
reduced
a
significant
amount
of
panhandling,
but
some
of
them
still,
you
know,
want
alcohol
or
they
still
they'll,
they'll
panhandle
on
for
harrison
and
chesna
or
missouri
and
court
street.
You
know
to
even
get
spice
somewhere
else.
You
know
what
I
mean,
so
what
what
I
believe
is
that
by
addressing
so
we
actually
have
different
tactics
that
we
use
with
that
seven
to
ten
percent
and
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
J
We
were
extremely
successful
from
july
of
last
year
to
about
when
covet
hit.
Okay
people
were
going
to
jail,
and
it
was
it
was
it
was.
It
was
a
better
visibility
on
the
downtown
and
the
eastern
part
of
the
court
over
there,
but
the
challenges
is
that
during
code,
when
covert
occurred,
the
jail
released,
a
lot
of
people
that
we
put
into
jail.
J
They
released
them
due
to
you,
know,
distance
and
then
for
a
while
they
weren't
accepting
anyone
that
committed
anything
but
a
felony.
So
my
team
continue
to
you
know,
hold
people
accountable
and
even
though
we
couldn't
make
a
physical
arrest,
we
gave
them
a
notice
to
appear
or
we
encourage
them
to
go
to
shelter,
and
you
know
it
was
extremely
challenging,
and
I
don't
know
if
maybe
because
people
weren't
really
the
businesses
weren't
really
active,
they
still
there
were
there
weren't
a
lot
of
issues
just
because
of
those
tactics
that
we
utilized.
J
It
was
either
getting
into
a
shelter
hold
you
accountable
for
whatever
you're
doing,
even
though
they
weren't
going
to
jail.
We
would
still-
and
sometimes,
if
we
give
them
notice
to
appear,
we
can
actually
send
them
to
say
arbor,
even
if
they
don't
want
to
go
or
not,
because
they're
technically
they're
detained.
J
So
we
definitely
hold
people
accountable,
even
during
the
time
where
they
wouldn't
accept
them
for
anything
other
than
a
felony.
So
that
really
limited
us
and
but
again
the
reporter
we've
developed
and
the
respect
that
my
team
has
in
in
that
community.
You
know
really
helped
along
with
working
with
other
departments,.
A
Okay,
I'm
very
pleased
with
the
update
we've
heard
today,
and
a
lot
of
progress
has
been
made.
I
remember
when
you
first
came
and
spoke
to
us
a
couple
years
ago
and
spice
was
a
major
issue
and
it
I
agree
that
it
does
seem
to
have
dissipated
a
lot.
It's
hardly
mentioned
anymore.
A
A
Okay,
we're
on
item
4.4,
we're
looking
at
adopting
the
august
2020
financial
statement
for
filing,
and
can
you
give
us
an
overview
please.
N
Sure
so,
for
your
funds.
For
august,
you
spent
ten
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty-five
dollars
and
sixty-four
cents
that
went
to
holiday
lighting
storage,
jolly
trolley
agreements,
operating
expenditures,
public
meeting
notices,
your
monthly
cra
admin
fee
and
then
11.39
went
to
tax
collector
commissions.
At
the
end
of
august.
Your
ending
balance
was
one
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
six
hundred
and
twenty
two
dollars
and
six
hundred
and
sixty
two
dollars
and
fifteen
cents.
O
A
A
A
Very
good,
and
do
we
have
a
second
okay
caitlin
has
seconded
it?
Is
there
any
board
discussion?
Okay,
all
in
favor
of
adopting
this
say,
aye
aye,
okay!
Is
there
anyone
opposed?
I
can't
see
everyone.
Okay,
it
looks
unanimous.
Thank
you.
Okay,
now
we're
at
item
4.5
a
funding
request
from
the
dcma
howard.
Would
you
take
that
up
for
us.
F
The
dcma
is
assisting
business
owners
on
the
400
and
500
blocks
of
cleveland
street
weekly
on
thursday,
friday,
saturday
and
sunday
nights
by
providing
live
music
during
the
continued
closure
of
cleveland
street
through
january
14th
of
2021
they're
requesting
a
thousand
dollars
per
week
for
the
next
15
weeks
to
pay
for
musicians
for
a
total
of
fifteen
thousand.
The
total
projected
project
cost.
This
is
per.
The
dsma
is
approximately
twenty
three
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
with
the
merchants
to
pay
the
difference.
F
F
In
addition
to,
if
the
grant
request
is
approved,
as
we
have
new
leadership
with
the
dsm
and
the
dcma
and
the
ddbs
continue
to
further
their
relationship,
the
dcma
will
also
complete
a
grant
agreement
that
outlines
the
grant
requests
proposed
activities,
timeline,
budget
reporting
requirements
and
the
other
pertinent
information,
and
with
that
I
have
carolyn
bradham
she's
the
co-president
of
dcma
to
be
able
to
talk
to
the
board
for
any
questions
that
you
all
may
have.
With
that.
I'd
like
to
thank
carol.
P
How
are
you
I'm
here
again
pleading
our
cause?
We've
had
such
a
great
success
this
summer.
I
have
to
thank
you
very
much
for
working
with
us
to
get
us
through
this
last
three
to
four
months.
It's
been
an
adventure,
we've
had
many
things
to
overcome
the
last
week
and
a
half
of
rain
have
not
been
that
pleasant,
but
we
have
fantastic
feedback
continuing
to
come
from
the
patrons
that
come
to
our
restaurants,
down
to
the
street
closure.
People
are
excited
about
that.
P
The
city
voucher
program
was
fantastic
for
us
this
summer
as
well.
We
just
concluded
that-
and
I
can't
thank
you
all
from
the
city
council
and
also
from
the
ddb
for
your
support
of
the
businesses.
Many
of
us
probably
would
not
be
open
or
would
not
have
opened
reopened
yet.
So
thank
you
for
that.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
what
our
intentions
are
for,
this
grant
request,
I'm
open
for
any
answers.
A
Carolyn
howard
just
said
that
there
was
new
leadership
at
the
dcma.
Can
you
give
us
a
little
briefing
on
what
what's
changed?
What's
new.
P
Well,
lina
has
become
our
government
liaison.
She
has
some
other
projects
that
she's
working
on
and
so
scott
from
clear
sky,
the
general
manager
over
there,
scott
susa
and
myself
have
become
the
co-presidents.
It
was
rather
difficult
for
one
of
us
to
take
on
that
post
all
by
itself,
because
it
is
rather
daunting.
P
Lena
did
a
fantastic
job
and
I
don't
know
that
one
person
could
actually
fill
her
shoes,
but
between
the
two
of
us
and
because
we're
in
the
restaurant
business,
we
have
to
kind
of
coordinate
and
juggle
our
time
a
little
bit.
So
we
we
were
willing
to
do
a
co-presidency
and
work
together
on
it
and
so
far
it's
working
out
very
well.
G
P
We
have
them
in
one
location,
on
each
block
central
to
the
block
in
usually
right,
near
or
or
in
that
little
area
where
they
have
the
planters
and
the
artwork.
It's
a
nice
place
to
set
up
so
we're
right
around
that
area.
That
gives
the
music
a
chance
to
kind
of
drift
down
the
block
on
both
air
on
both
ends,
and
it
also
gives
us
a
chance
to
protect
them
from
the
elements
if
it
starts
raining
or
if
it's
really
hot
outside.
P
We
have
a
tent
that
we
put
up
for
them
so
that
they
can
put
their
equipment
underneath.
Keep
it
protected,
give
themselves
a
little
respite
from
the
sun
when
it's
really
hot
out
there,
but
we
found
that
that's
been
the
best
for
us
and
it
kind
of
keeps
everything
centrally
located
and
also
just
to
keep
them
out
of
the
traffic
of
the
patrons
that
are
coming
to
the
restaurant
and
eating
out
on
the
street.
P
A
E
Hey
you
think
I've
learned
by
now,
so
it
wasn't
so
much
a
question
as
as
just
a
statement
that
I'm
always
in
favor
of
musicians
being
paid
any
artist.
I
think
they're
they're
worth
their
weight.
There
so
sounds
like
a
good
plan
to
be.
A
Very
good,
okay:
are
there
any
oh
caitlyn.
B
Could
you
give
a
little
more
explanation
in
terms
of
the
I
think
a
little
over
6
000
of
it
is
for
deuce
and
who
that
gets
p2
and
how
that
works.
P
Yes,
the
dcma
is
a
membership
organization
and
we
members
pay
250
every
year
to
participate,
and
then
we
use
those
funds
to
promote.
Usually
through
we've
done
television
with
the
morning
blend
shows
to
promote
upcoming
events
that
we've
had
at
the
with
the
city.
P
We
use
it
to
do
newspaper
ads,
we
are
in
the
creative
loafing
paper
every
three
months
we've
got
an
ad
coming
up.
We
advertise
with
jolly
trolley
we
advertise
with
the
ferry
other
different
publications.
We've
worked
with,
we've
done
some
radio
ads,
so
we
take
our
membership
money
and
that's
what
we
try
to
use
to
promote
the
downtown
businesses,
the
different
things
that
are
going
on
within
the
city
and
how
especially
when
we're
tied
in
with
it.
P
So
with
with
the
pandemic,
we
just
haven't
really
been
able
to
ask
our
members
to
add
it
at
another
expense
to
what
they're
already
trying
to
deal
with.
So,
on
the
other
hand,
we
really
need
to
start
be
able
to
continue
promoting
the
different
things
that
we're
doing
and
we'd
like
to
just
you
know,
get
that
going
again.
We've
had
some
very
good
attention
from
the
media.
We
have
tampa
bay.
P
Newspapers
recently
did
a
very
lovely
article
on
the
downtown
district
and
the
merchants
downtown
and
the
the
things
that
are
happening
with
the
music
and
the
street
closure
and
all
that
stuff,
so
we're
trying
to
get
as
much
publicity
as
we
can
and
not
have
to
pay
for
ads.
Obviously,
but
that's
also
on
our
books,
we've
gotta
we've
got
somebody
that
we've
talked
to
to
potentially
help
get
us.
Those
press
releases
placed
around
the
bay
area
to
get
us
some
more
attention
and
to
bring
more
people
downtown.
G
I
wholeheartedly
propose
a
motion
to
approve
the
dsma's
request
for
music
and
membership
fees.
A
F
Yes,
the
cra
is
in
year
three
of
completing
the
holiday
extravaganza
events
with
the
board
of
support
and
we're
planning
on
the
next
stages
for
developing
holiday
extravaganza.
F
For
the
2020
year,
the
purpose
of
this
item
is
to
gr
is
to
request
approval
for
a
marketing
assistant
grant
for
the
cra.
The
cra
will
provide
a
variety
of
activities
to
enjoy
various
events
in
the
month
of
november
and
december
for
visitors,
residents
and
families
and
employees
within
the
downtown
district
projects
for
holiday.
Extravaganza
include
a
series
of
holiday
movies,
window,
decorations
winter
decorations
for
businesses,
holiday
lighting
and
creative
place.
A
A
A
Okay,
the
I
think
the
the
total
amount
that
being
spent
by
the
cra
by
the
on
this
project
is
60,
000
and
10
of
it
is
being
asked
from
the
ddb
yes,
so
I
imagine
the
cra
is
providing
the
other
50..
A
Okay,
are
there
any
citizen
comments
on
this
howard.
F
I
believe
mr
councilmember
had
a
question.
A
E
Ahead,
I
was
just
wondering
if
any
of
this
money
or
of
the
ca
cra's
money
goes
toward
the
winter
wonderland.
K
Yeah,
the
winter
wonderland
is
completely
privately
funded.
Okay,
we
set
up
a
calendar,
so
any
activity
by
any
entity
in
downtown
gets
publicized
as
part
of
the
holiday
events,
but
the
only
things
that
the
cra
and
the
ddb
fund
are
activities
that
you'll
you'll
see
our
name
on.
A
No
okay,
okay,
I'd
like
to
request
a
motion
regarding
this
funding:
request
for
the
holiday
extravaganza,
keenan.
A
Very
good:
do
we
have
a
second
okay?
I
think
I
see
ray's
hand
up
first
so
ray
seconded
it,
and
is
there
any
board
discussion
on
this
point?
A
B
Hello,
I
don't
have
much
of
an
update
since
our
meeting
last
week.
I
will
just
note
that
the
game
plan
is
to
have
a
schedule
before
the
next
meeting,
so
I
can
report
to
everyone
what
that
schedule
looks
like
as
well
as,
if
you
have
anyone
who'd
be
interested
in
participating
or
even
just
providing
ideas.
B
Please
have
them
reach
out
to
me.
Welcome
any
and
all
ideas
and
participation
thanks.
A
Very
good,
so
I
am
talking
it
up
to
people
caitlyn
and
maybe
somebody
will
contact
you
great.
Okay.
Let's
go
on
to
item
5.2,
cra
updates
amanda.
Would
you
take
that
first.
L
N
So
just
a
an
update
we
sent
out
474
ballots
were
mailed
out
monday
morning.
They
were
nice-sized
boxes,
picked
up
and
mailed
out,
and
I
actually
have
already
heard
from
one
resident
who
said
that
they've
already
received
their
ballot
and
mailed
it
in
so
we're
doing
good.
But
just
as
a
reminder,
those
ballots
went
out
monday.
They
are
due
back
to
the
supervisor
of
elections
office
by
tuesday
october
13th
at
2
pm
festus.
N
A
Excellent,
thank
you.
Anne
and
I
received
my
ballot
yesterday.
A
The
mail
does
go
through
okay
and
howard.
Did
you
have
something
to
contribute
to
the
cra
update.
H
A
B
Thank
you
again
continue
to
be
happy
to
receive
any
input
from
others,
and
also
just
like
to
echo
the
prior
things
of
sergeant
or
to
sergeant
fidelis,
as
well
as
his
team,
and
all
the
wonderful
work
that
they're
doing.
C
C
These
electric
bicycles
almost
once
per
week,
I
am
nearly
run
over
by
a
30
mile,
an
hour
bicycle
and
I'm
assuming
the
laws
are
such
they're
supposed
to
be
in
the
street,
not
on
the
sidewalk.
But
anyway.
I
wonder
if
the
mayor
could
steer
me
in
the
right
direction.
After
who
I
should
contact
at
the
city
to
address
this.
M
It
is
a
police
issue
so
that
non-emergency
number
of
five
six
two
forty
two
forty
two
and
then
you
press
zero.
That's
going
to
get
you
to
someone
if
there's
a
way
that
you
can
identify.
M
C
O
Oh
yes,
I
just
like
to
echo
sergeant
fidelis
comment
and
when
I
moved
to
clearwater
10
years
ago
it
was
really
bad
and
I
know
I've
noticed
a
difference.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
him
over
to
girls
and
updating
that.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
A
Meeting,
yes,
I
had,
I
had
heard
from
business
owners
in
the
in
the
district,
and
so
I
raised
the
issue
and
and
the
cra
was
helpful
in
arranging
it
for
us.
G
That
is
great.
I
did
years
of
charity
work
in
california.
He
actually
was
is
correct.
There's
a
small
percentage
that
are
repeat
offenders
and
actually
they
enjoy
living
outdoors
and
that's
how
they
do
it
and
no
matter
what
you
do.
G
They
will
not
go
away
and
those
are
the
ones
that
actually,
if
we
have
some
sort
of
a
planning
to
basically
discourage
that,
then
we'll
see
more
and
more
less
and
less
of
that,
because
it
just
as
long
as
it
gets
encouraged
that
or
it's
basically
finding
ways
to
get
around
that
they
will.
G
I
was
shocked
being
in
la
several
months
ago,
like
it's
been
gosh,
because
this
cove
has
been
a
while,
but
many
sets
several
months
ago
when
I
was
in
la,
I
was
surprised
to
see
how
much
that
being
very
soft
on
it,
how
much
it
had
thrived
that
just
people
living
on
the
streets
defecating.
G
It
was
just
surprising
and
when
you
have
these
repeaters
and
others
see
that
they'll
just
follow.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
inviting
them.
This
is
actually
a
great
idea.
I
was
very
happy
to
see
that.
D
M
M
But
you
know
one
of
the
points
I
made
was
you
know
we
don't
have
the
museums
necessarily
and
we
don't
have
the
professional
sports
teams,
but
I
think
clearwater
really
is
known
for
performing
arts
through
coachman
park,
the
capitol
theater
roof
eckerd
hall
and
I
think
that's
something
we
shouldn't
shy
away
from.
I
think
it's
something
that
we
need
to
continue
to
highlight
and
kind
of
make
that
our
calling
card
along
with
other
things
as
well,
but
I
also
appreciate
you
talking
about
the
homeless
issue.
M
If
you
go
out
to
some
of
the
western
states,
if
you
go
to
seattle,
san
francisco,
you
can
see
what
a
slippery.
M
E
And
I
I
have
nothing
so
good
night
to.
A
Very
good,
so
my
final
comment
is:
I
was
very
pleased
with
the
report
from
mr
pera
and
sergeant
fidelis.
The
the
main
takeaway
from
the
that
presentation
is
that
it's
it's
extremely
frustrating
for
the
police,
because
they're
limited
in
what
they
can
do.
They
can't
just
wave
a
magic
wand
and
have
it
go
away,
it's
a
it's
a
difficult
thing,
but
they
they
are
willing
to
do
what
it
takes
to
respond
to
business
owners
and
property
owners
downtown.
So
I
would
encourage
anyone.
A
That's
that
experiences
the
problem
or
observes
the
problem
to
call
the
non-emergency
line
and
let
the
police
know
about
the
issue
so
that
something
can
be
done
about
it.
Then
the
most
of
the
homeless
are
not
a
real
source
of
problems,
but
some
small
faction
of
them
repeatedly
cause
problems
over
and
over
again
without
really
caring
about
the
consequences.
