A

And welcome big crowd. I, don't know if the citizens Academy or LJ has a bigger.

A

Thank you. Our first item tonight is the citizens open forum. We only have a couple of rules that you keep it to no more than five minutes. You state your name and address clearly for the record and if you're speaking towards item 10, that is a public hearing, and we ask that you wait until such time as we call for the public hearing. Having said that, anybody on this side of the room, gator.

B

Steve Gator black 2010 Hudson Gordon, told tomorrow I'm here for two reasons: tonight no more challenges. First of all, I would like to thank the council for the check we got first going. We will purchase something in honor of him and secondly, at the last council meeting we talked about trees and I was asked if I knew a poem about trees. Well, I didn't know, that's the time that I did know one when I was in high school I had to learn this poem and being a little bit advanced.

B

Today's I forgot all about it, but this is a poem by alfred joyce kilmer.

B

It was published in 1913 in the poetry in poetry, a magazine of verse, chalmers, faith and love of nature was evident in his poem he volunteered to serve in world war ii and was killed in the line of duty. This is a poem called trees.

B

I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree, a tree whose hungry mouth is pressed against the sweeter slowing breasts a tree that looks at God all day and lifts early yards to pray, a tree that may in summer wear a nest of Robins and her hair appositives bosoms snowy Lane, who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree. Thank you.

A

Right call for the next citizens open forum, I. Think it's been probably two years about two years where we did the poet laureate didn't quite go the direction it would did for a couple of reasons, he's moved away and some other items. If it would be the pleasure of the council I'd, entertain a motion to have Gator black, be our poet laureate. He's.

C

A

Smarr second, second, so moved in a second all, those in favor, yeah, I.

D

Just want you to know that I have actually started my homework that you gave us.

B

A

Have to get my words again, anybody else on this side of the room, lecture, dress, council, anybody from this side of the room like to address the council awesome, seeing no one will close the citizens open forum, a couple of recaps and some upcoming events on the mayor's minute recap: the annual Veterans Day ceremony at Veterans, Memorial Park. Reading the newly inscribed names on Veterans wall. It was probably one of the more well attended ceremonies. We've had out there.

A

It continues to get better and better a lot of us left there and went over to the organic community garden, open house that was on November 11th at Bicentennial, Park, congratulations to the community garden on a successful event, great seeing the new programs offered each year. If you get a chance to go over there, it's a it's. Quite quite nice, celebrity server afternoon this past Saturday at Jack Willy's annual goals for a cause, fundraiser thanks to everyone who came out Eric and myself and Al, and some others were out there.

A

This is a charity that goals for a cause is a charity and in itself, but what they do and our holiday sharing fund was the beneficiary. Last year they select a charity, they raised the money for it and then they turned that money over to another charity. In this, this year's beneficiary is the one voice foundation at Jack, Willie's alone, I. Think last year Deb we raised about twenty-five twenty-six hundred dollars. This year we raised five thousand dollars and that will be added to the money that they raise from the hot key event and I.

A

Think last year the holiday sharing fund got about twenty thousand I think it was so it's a great event. They have a senior hockey tournament over at the ice rink and it's a great thing. You'll see it I think on they didn't do it today. Did they was today Charlie Belcher when's, he, oh okay, they try the Belcher talk about it. So another event that we had was the thanks: Thanksgiving bounty distribution that was going on today at Oldsmar cares.

A

I saw the line driving down there all day, long so helping those that can't help and provide Thanksgiving for their families, also at lunch, al and I, and in my vice mayor, stopped by, as did some residents Gator was there with his lovely wife lunch with the mayor at McDonald's. They requested it a couple of months ago, and so we did that they want to really be more involved, we're going to try and set one up with the Sheriff's Department in the near future.

A

So look for that upcoming events, Thanksgiving holiday reminder that all city offices, facilities and libraries will be closed. Thursday the 23rd through Sunday, the 26 for Thanksgiving normal business hours, will resume on Monday the 27th, the santa claus mailbox beginning on november 27th through December 18th.

Christmas wonderland is also that Friday December 1st 6 to 9 o'clock re olds park, snow sled, rides pictures with Santa holiday movie, Masuda answers dance, recital and caroling it's free to attend.

It's that's another one. That's pretty well attended right across the street, so come out and join us.

A

It's kind of a real community event, so that wraps up the mayor's minute and we have nothing in the CRA, a consent. Docket. We have a couple of items: I'll read those approve the payments to legal council item to authorize the city manager to advertise request for Proposal to zero one.

E

Very excited tonight and we have another.

E

Congratulations.

E

I've got a little speech. This is sue and her husband, Pat her date of hire was the vember 10th of 1992, so she's been a library assistant for the city for 25 years now she works at the reference desk. She started in the children's department, the employees in the older library, among our many unsung heroes that come to work every day. They're, usually quiet, he's a very strong example that okay, that's why I can never work in the library very unassuming they go about their business and then.

F

C

E

Need something you don't know how to get it until you find sue. Did you ask for help and how to find something? Then you watch this transformation. They come alive by the time. You're done answering your question. They have five different things for you to look at and that's if it's a slow day, CIM personal experiences, the son of a lifetime, public librarian I'm embarrassed at how much more they know about how to research a subject that I do embarrassed. Yes, but, more importantly, impressed today's library is more relevant than ever.

E

In case you were ever thinking the library employees don't have enough to do think again. 25 years who's been involved in the customer service business with a committed, I, torts process, improvement every single year and remember she was with the city before the building even stood. She was hired by Nancy Milliken. She worked Barrett Weber. She now works for our sewer Lee. Her many duties include to name a few she's reference desk customer service in person on the phone online.

E

She assists patrons at the library, computers and databases and I'm taking a side note there I promise you go to the library and look at the databases. You will not believe the information you have access to it's. It's absolutely incredible, I, just kind of learned about it last year, but it's absolutely phenomenal part of the readers advisory. She assists patrons and trains employees on books, availability and online sources. She provides an updates to how do I service, which our frequently asked questions about library, cards and services.

E

She assists patrons with Library Catalog research for summer school reading, lists parents think no dad. She provides a service on library tips like how to find large print books. How to renew library items how to find business books, how to find books, audio books in the library and online. She prepares displays like business careers in education and the score program: Service Corps of retired executives, holiday themes like folklore, cookbooks and crafts. Cookbook displays supporting the Florida cuisine program with chef Warren cater soon.

E

She works on providing publicity for programs like crafty, sundaes, sorry, Saturday's, gym cyber safety, spore workshop Rockstar Cafe Pet Supplies for fines, beginners ukulele workshop, overcoming clutter works out for my wife, cooking demonstrations.

G

E

Food drive and holidays at Hogwarts, which I think is a Harry Potter thing. My grandkids are helping me here with other coop libraries. She maintains information for inclusion on library, flyers and distributes them. The vice mayor maintains a relationship with goodwill and seeks out other community organizations for leftover resources, which includes processing incoming book donations and withdrawn items online book selling and shipments preparing additives, the a mini book sale. Does that happened it don't over everybody go check, sorry I missed it.

E

Other things ensue is or has been involved in she's been a member of the city sustainability team she's been on the EAC, which is the employee Action Committee. She was nominated for the Bronston Shrek and wast award in March of 2012 for helping to raise revenue for the city, love hearing that through her work with the Friends of the ills of our library, she was our city's corporate community representative for the Pinellas County Schools volunteer program from 1993 to 1998. At one time, sue was involved with the city's communications and marketing division.

E

After it first started, I read 25 evaluations that our personnel file, all every single one of them every category was rated either a or E, which means exceeds acceptable standards or above acceptable standards.

E

My observation about our most valuable employees and I see this a number of times, and you read: supervisors say on evaluations. You love to see this to my favorites that were on almost every one of Sue's shows concern for the efficient running of the department and another favorite of mine requires little or no supervision.

E

Absolutely you want all your employees to be like that. Sue's evaluations sounded like a broken record on those two statements. What a wonderful tribute to a great employee! There were five comment cards in her file, all complimentary about her helpfulness and ability to assist citizens and finding what they were looking for. She received the perfect attendance award in 2009-10.

E

What affect people to recognize both did sue is not just her longevity of 25 years, which is impressive all on its own, but in the dedication she has maintained in both to both the library and the community. Most people are capable of coming to work each day, but very few make the sincere commitment to making their community a better place as soon as epitomize that attitude in her work at her career from quarter-century. Please join me in congratulating a twenty-five year milestone and thank her first service to this great.

E

Would you like to say something don't say something I.

H

I

I've been here for 25 years and I just.

H

Like it like, I enjoy helping people, it.

E

Shows, thank you so much. Thank you.

J

One of the reasons we have an award-winning I.

K

Congratulations.

E

Second, one is.

E

For some guy named Adam sure.

E

This will be tough and not for why you think so. No man there's your 15 years. Service award I, give this to Audrey, but she's, not here.

E

Okay, Adams getting his 15 year service award, he's an IT administrator he's our information technology administrator. His date of hire was November 25th year 2002 I was anticipating. Maybe the family was coming. His wife is Audrey's son, Jacob and daughter, share, Shana and elder, who comes to your as I. Remember, Jeremiah and I. Don't know the rest of your kids name, so you could have to tell me we're here to celebrate a large milestone with another one of our many talented employees. Adam sure I was on the committee that hired Adam.

E

Sorry, everybody and I must admit the disservice. Award is difficult. For me, Adam was my teammate for eight years and worked for me for another seven. The hard part is that that it's gonna be difficult to find something nice to say about him or his skills. The hard part is that after I do he will run around for the next five years, telling everyone that I said nice things about in case you didn't already know Adam from any contact you may have had with him, especially citizens Academy. He is not shy in fact.

E

I'm asking the city clerk to put the citizens up in for a five-minute clock on him when I turn over the mic, because he will be ready to do a routine for you. If we love it and I promise, you that's true. Okay seriously, Adam is the division supervisor for what is unquestionably one of the most important functions of our organization. We have 11 buildings over 30 servers and multiple locations. We own our own underground fiber network. We do TV production and recording.

E

We have to maintain a wide area network with maximum efficiency and minimal downtime. Last year we better do our previous record with less than 1% downtime, which is remarkable. Adam gets calls at home, mostly from me on the road wherever he is, that is graded, resolving issues as they arise. His staff is also great at making him look good. We had full four full-time employees in IT and we have zero turnover division during his tenure with the city, Perry Nelson County, something we think is very valuable and he gets credit for that.

E

Sorry I know you're gonna miss this I see employees that sometimes referred to as geeks, but I'm here to tell you that we have no leaks. We have really bright guys to cover the city flawlessly, maintaining over 100 PC workstations, 30 servers, plus Network functioning and security, miles of underground fiber, the city's internet connection, the city's television production recording facility, which is pretty much right. There firewalls several ERP systems and pretty much anything in the city connected to or having to do with a computer during his 15-year tenure.

E

The city has upgraded all of the underground long rounds of fiber. So it's the city did the Microsoft Office 365 throughout replaced pcs and five different occasions averaging one time. Every three years change the internet providers successfully increasing internet speed to 100 Meg's in the process, I deployed hundreds of software hardware, products for operating divisions, totally managed all telecommunications devices like cell phones, smart phones and iPads for the organization he has assisted with upgrades to citywide software like the handheld meters.

E

She is responsible for connectivity and maintenance of all citywide copiers and Printers he's upgraded projectors in the Tico room and ft fire department training rooms in his spare time, adam has been the appointed leader by his colleagues for the city supervisors and our leadership development program, known as oles on two different occasions in the past, he's responsible for the administration of the IT capital budget, which represents large outlays of taxpayer money, as you can imagine, and requires significant planning, purchasing, vendor relationship skills, and he has to put up with me.

E

We try to focus on the many skills that each of our Award winners possess, so you can see how necessary they are in the roles that make them such a productive. Make. This excuse me such a productive and functional family at Adams case is a couple of very important things and to a degree he may not receive enough credit for why they make him invaluable. First and foremost,.

L

E

His personality during his early years, his good-natured playfulness, was oftentimes mistaken for being difficult. He is a smartass slowly. Over the next few years, people started realizing that he is actually very helpful and will do anything to help you as long as you're willing to listen to a joke or two along the way. The other two things are his greatest strengths. First, his ability to think on his feet. You think enough, as ability to resolve issues as they arrive as exceptional as they arise.

E

He thinks, logically, he has great minds around him, especially Sue's husband, and seems to always be able to resolve any issues that come about. More importantly, he resolves them quickly. The other is his flexibility. He has no problem in trying anything. We ask him to do or ask him to do differently. His willingness to accept any challenge has served the organization very well. We do owe him a debt of gratitude for his performance. In this regard.

E

On a personal note, I have seen over and over again what a great father and husband he is to his family. I want my city family to have people at it like that. Sometimes we have to be flexible in order to accommodate that strength, but in the end, it's worth it high productivity division with zero turnover.

E

Please join me in congratulating Adams 15-year, a diversity of service to the city of alzheimer in the spirit community also get ready, because as soon as I give him, the mic he's likely to do this treat the specificity at the improv. Five minutes only make sure it's good stuff. Remember it's a family show.

G

I would I'd like to get a copy of that cuz. My reviews coming up and I want to make sure Cindy can cover all of that I've been working for 15 years five years ago, I stood here and said, I couldn't believe I started. I was 30 years old and five years ago I said I've spent 25% of my life here, working for the city of Baltimore, and now it's a third of my life and I have to say this city has been very good to me. So thank you for that.

G

I'd, like to few people I'd like to thank I like Dino she's, not here, but I, will thank Marnie burns, cuz she's, the one who initially hired me and, despite all trying to convince her otherwise I'm sure I want to thank al he's. You know he was a good department and I think they didn't ask me, but I think a good choice for city manager, I'm not just saying that cuz he gave me a check and I want to thank Cindy nano who's, hey prop humor.

G

He throw me on I think Cindy, nano she's, the director of admin services, she's been a great boss for six weeks, so I want to give her. Thank you. I also want to thank the guys who work for me. Al did mention. I have three people who just won't leave and they've been with me for two of them have been here since I started, and one of them I hired now I think my curly bill, Dennis and Ivan Johnson I would not be standing here. If they didn't make me look better than I was so.

G

Thank you. I also want to thank citizens Academy being here how my citizens Academy people. Thank you very much, and that's it. Thanks to the council as well guys I'm glad you didn't eliminate, IT or outsource us or anything, and how do you like these monitors?

G

J

Forgot to mention that the fiber optics that they're talking about miles of it, it wasn't stolen by the city employees, with his help.

A

Our citizens Academy remembers the video that he did. That was absolutely hysterical. That was hysterical, I thought I thought. Maybe we were gonna, see it tonight and I, don't know if council notices, but we do have two big huge new monitors for our audience that are in there and and wait till you see the workshop room. It's going to be even better for our residents that come to the meeting so pretty awesome next job, Adam, don't mark that tape.

E

E

I have the honor of awarding the council-manager award of recognition and the award this month is going to LJ, Tucker and Tucker Enterprise Services.

E

C

E

Want to tell you that this is called the council matters reward, but I think for this particular time only I'd like to call this the save the day award and let me tell you why first a little history about the award. Mr. bean will interrupt this. An idea for the council comments that a May 7 1991 council meeting for the minutes, the objective of the war. The reason for the award is to give a certificate of appreciation for something that somebody had done for the city or their neighborhood. That's for the basics to it.

E

It's been a long-standing history for us for all those years and how appropriate then, to give this month's award to LJ Tucker and Tucker Enterprise Services LJ as a business, as you know, well talk around price services. Let me tell you a little bit about LJ and his family business Chuck Pagano price Services is a family operated tree service and property maintenance. Company LJ Tucker, started Tucker and provide services in 2002. He gained his first customers. Don't listen to this.

E

He gained his first customers by riding his bike through the streets of Oldsmar and offering his tree trimming services door-to-door, and that is the truth through hard work and determination. Lj, along with his wife Adele, have grown this cut on Wisconsin's, giving as building this company from working out of the back of his car to operating out of a two acre facility over on Scarlett current and previous clients include the Florida Department of Transportation Enterprise Reynolds, multiple government agencies, cities and municipalities, as well as repeat residential clients with its newly acquired property at Oldsmar.

E

Lj is excited about the Tucker enterprise services. He will continue to provide quality tree care and property maintenance services to oldsmar and the surrounding communities. Okay, now that's a little bit about him in the business, but here's how we got here a few months ago.

G

E

You to visualize the chamber in the city do what we call. We mean business, which is which are local visits in the City and surrounding area. To accomplish two things we find out as much as we can about the businesses we have here and, secondly, to let the business community know how seriously we take our business by trying to find ways to help them, as jerry Peruzzi puts it. We're looking for the good, the bad and the ugly, the mayor and I usually attempt that wasn't meant to be a joke on the good bed as.

C

Does Jerry.

E

And the current chamber president, who, on this day, was Mark Layton I get the name right, sir, yes, I did on the last name of the president of the chamber, I apologize anyway on this date. Several months back, one of our site visits was LJ in his new facility on 303 Scarlett Boulevard. His five employees new office digs fencing around the property. Beautiful landscaping in the front I'll take walked us through the yard. He told us about it how his business is grown, where it started and what his biggest challenges are.

E

We left head to the visit very impressed with this young man, mostly by his determination and work ethic, and what is generally considered to be a difficult business. One of the great things about we mean businesses and the things you learn about your community and many times in places that you didn't think would be all that interesting. For me, I was impressed by what I saw, especially in hearing LJ described what he is built from what he had to start with.

E

As you've heard talk about carbonyl living Wow fast forward to emergency operations, September 10th or thereabouts, hurricane Irma is bearing down on the west coast of Florida, as if for a parting gift for Bruce's career and trust. Me Bruce was not too happy about it. The mayor and I are looking or looking at each other. After hearing weather reports say, the hurricane is account category 4 and the eyewall is now protected to go right through oldsmar, and while we were all counting our blessings because the eyewall moved about 50 miles to the east.

E

By the time it got here, we still had a debris cleanup row storm that has affected more flirty incident.

I

E

Event, history Bruce is telling us over and over again before the storm during the storm. Immediately after the storm get a claw truck, get a clog truck, get a cloth shop, call Pinellas, Emergency, Operations, no clog truck call the insurance company disaster recovery team, no Quattro call the insurance company, no quad truck call State, Emergency, Management law truck no truck.

E

Hey wait. A second remember.

L

We recently visited L take Tucker. We.

E

Mean business: maybe he has a blood truck, as you can imagine. We call LT who is in high demand because he has to clot rocks and he pretty much can command his price well-deserved for everything he has done to make this business grow. But LJ agrees to put aside some of his other business to help us get the debris cleared. Citywide our debris management, firm, didn't show up. Our debris.

E

Monitors didn't show up our Public Works employers are busting their tail doing a fantastic job of attempting to pick up debris, one house at a time, but we were overwhelmed by the sheer volume, the lack of equipment to handle the task, as LJ will tell you, thought trucks can cost over $100,000 each. So LJ saves the day for the city eight weeks after the storm that all those County homes are still picking up debris that we're done in two but most impressively.

E

If you watched how hard his crew worked, you would never use anyone else in any property management or tremor mobile services. You will ever need. Lj is another example of what makes this city great. He has family dedicated themselves to a business that performs a vital service. Yet when the city calls he makes time it gives us his greatest effort, he empties the tank. I hope you all get serious consideration. Lj Tucker enterprises, the next time you need property management or treat trimming or removal services. You won't regret it.

E

This award is to show our appreciation for LJ, Adele and family. We can't thank you enough for your dedication to this city and for your work ethic. We know that you've been recognized for your work with children, but we will never forget what you've done for us. Making us all look smart.

M

For Poland and you to help us get back to normal.

E

Grateful appreciation to you and your family for another job well done. The citizens of all smart deserve to know who made the biggest difference of all in our ability to get the streets clean back to normal right. There.

F

Well, first, like I like to say I'm honored. Thank you very much council city manager, mayor.

F

This is my family. As you can see, Jeremiah Michael.

F

Operation Adel and without my wife, my backbone, the things that we're able to do wouldn't happen because we get the easy part we get to go and do the physical labor. But a lot of stuff is paperwork in business and well without the right paperwork. You can't get in certain doors and we're very grateful again, starting at the backseat of the car. Hey I got to tell the story. I was riding my bike one day and I seen this house on the corner of short Boulevard, and is it chestnut and.

B

I knocked on the door.

F

And I said yeah. My hope you said I, like my name, is LJ Tucker I like to trim your trees because I got a tree. Guy I said no problem, I love a week later, I'm riding and the tree still went trim so I'm knocked on the door again. What do you want? Someone to train your trees, Do You, Know Who I am I said no, but I'm still like the cream cheese I'm, the mayor of Oldsmar I'm, Jerry bean I, said nice to meet you. There I still want to trim your trees.

F

Bastin I riding my bike, giving the steve-o's bar and guess who trees are not trimmed I'm, not gonna. Do again he's like it's. You again, trees that trim I'm gonna continue to knock on his door. He will give me a price I'm, tired of your knocking on my door.

F

Yes, we became friends over the years and again, thank you. I'm very grateful just to be have the opportunity to help out in the city and try to stay economical as possible.

F

My biggest goal when I first started, was due to do at least 10 jobs a week at $20, a piece I'll be able to pay all my bills and I was good to go, and so you know, I played the numbers game and it wasn't I really activated my faith to believe that I can grow and be bigger and be able to hit a rifle shot. That I learned from my godfather I, like that my grandmother she's innate at the building she's here my mom.

F

She was on the way she couldn't make it my concrete guide, Dave. My friend Don he's here again I'm just grateful to be able to provide a tree service or property server. You got Pat Lanford she's, a friend in the customer as well.

F

It's you know, I learned a long time ago. It's not about money. It's about building the relationship and the allies. I have customers just been using me for about 15 16 years now and there's like Tucker's gonna, try my trades and they thank you. You know, and so we try to stay economical as possible and do a good job, because that's the most important thing to us is to do a good job. Thank you.

A

Congratulations: LJ and all your employees and your family, you guys are a class act. So thank you for bringing your family with you. Our next item is item number eight pre, our presentation from the North Pinellas Arts Alliance and former councilmember Linda Norris.

N

Hi I'm Sam arts coordinator, okay, so I'm here on behalf of the North panelist Cultural Alliance, and we have our winning design for the trail. Art Sam's gonna tell y'all a little bit about how we came. You know suck some committee and all that good stuff I have a copy of it for everybody. So.

O

Why don't I go ahead and tell you how we chose this? We form to collect selection committee with citizen representation, as well as NPC a representation, and we should not only lead ahead of leisure services.

O

First time we met and voted on the three top designs, and then we met again with a point system to decide which design would win. Some of those items on the points is similar like overall design experience resume things like that and that's how we chose this design and it's also it takes off the boxes on what we were looking for for the trail, art.

N

Okay, so the original design that the original the original design that Nicole put in was the this butterfly and it we had to go back to her because our primer coat is black. So we were afraid, obviously, that this butterfly would not show up. So she switched it from they're, both native butterflies.

N

So it was really nice that she did that the first one was the zebra long wing, and then, when we asked her to change it, she changed it to the pipevine Swallowtail butterfly and it is a Florida native species and resident of Pinellas County. So it fits and we liked about her design. What we liked is, we could tell that we also got copies of what each of the artists have done publicly.

N

So these are bonafide artists, all the artists that we chose, especially the ones that were in the top three they've all done: large public art projects so and and her resume. If anybody's interested is amazing, it's three pages long and it's amazing and she's done a lot of work.

N

We like the artistry involved in this one and the vibrant colors, and she also pointed out that she is going to outline all of the fauna and all of the you know, designs and everything in between the butterflies with white. So it's really gonna pop off of the blacktop. So what we're? What we are looking for today is you guys is approval to.

N

Let us go ahead with this project and it's gonna be paid for through the funds that we have with the north, kennels Cultural Alliance, and it's our first project that we're doing for each city, and we are the second city to get one Safety Harbor already got theirs, but this one below safety harbors are way. Ours is way better.

N

So anything else, no.

A

N

The area that we told them that we wanted them to work is about 750 square feet, so it's gonna be quite large. It might not encompass the entire 750 square feet, but as long as it's prominent, we had one we had. We had such great designs, one of them that almost one was animals and plants, but coming into the grass and then being finished on the other side of the grass.

N

But we were afraid that you needed to be bird's-eye view to really be able to appreciate it, because you'd walk up and see part of things and then not really know that it ended. On the other side, some people were to the tea. As far as the outline that we that we gave them in the in the scope of work, Nicole was a little bit outside the box. She kind of did her own. She didn't really fill the space, but it was such a beautiful design in it. It won by when we scored it it.

N

It won by a good 20 points, didn't it so it was definitely the favorite of the three finalists. We got a lot of submissions, but.

D

N

As you all say, it's okay, we're gonna, start right away. Not tonight, no.

A

Holiday yeah I need a motion to accept motion in a second all, those in favor.

K

N

Gonna be right when you walk in yeah.

K

It's gonna look awesome.

N

Yeah- and it's probably more than likely gonna, be to where it's like that, instead of like yeah, it's gonna be.

O

That Y section, but when you first go in like that, so.

A

It Forks it off kinda.

O

A

N

And she's also gonna. We asked her to punch up the color of the flowers as well, so because we wanted to really pop so, and she was very, she was very accommodating for everything. You know everything that we had asked her so awesome and if y'all are interested I can give you her previous work in her resume. Would you like me to give it to an in case? Anybody and I only have a copy of one of her previous works, but she's got a lot once you read her resume.

N

You're gonna owe, and the selection committee consisted of, of course, Sam being the Arts coordinator, Felicia Donnelly, our Park and Rec director, and she did a lot to help us on the system that other cities use in order to come up with their choices like the scoring and everything else. So she really taught us a lot and then Sudha.

N

She was from Leisure Services, Ken, Hannon who's, also north Pinellas, Cultural, Alliance and Chris Hannon, who we all know is a fantastic artist, so we wanted to make sure that each of those you know, departments or everybody was represented to where not one person made the decision. It was a definite group decision, so awesome yeah. It was awesome.

N

And you know: I'm gonna be out there. I'm gonna be out there helping her. You know that thank.

A

You to the Alliance to.

D

Some credit here we're excited to do because I think this is the second time that there's been artwork in front of the council and it actually passed unanimous.

N

Jerry will say: 15 or 20 years, yeah.

J

N

J

1990 1996, it's.

N

Exciting we have some other ideas too I.

A

Think moving forward we're gonna, probably see some more art first videos mark so hopefully.

K

A

Be great so thank.

N

You, the last of us, that's for sure, okay,.

A

Thank you. Next item is the recognition of the 2017 graduates of the Janice Miller citizens Academy, and this is going to be a team effort. I believe.

A

And it's gonna introduce them, but I'll give you a little bit of a background on this. This is our 10th year, I feel so cheated because I did the second year and you guys do way more cool things than we ever did. We just got to go. Look at the fire truck. That's a fire truck I'm like that's a police car yeah, but they get to actually interact with it and and things like that, we never had helicopters landing at our citizens academy or anything like that.

A

But it's all the brainchild of Janis Miller and it was originally called just the old, smarter citizens Academy and before she passed away. It was the that current council that I asked if it was the pleasure of the council to name at the Janis Miller citizens March citizens Academy, because it was kind of her baby and she really took a lot of pride in that she takes a lot of pride in the city of Oldsmar and I.

A

Think the citizens Academy have in the past and the one today will agree that you've really learned a lot about the city and the things that happen within the city, all the different departments and really it's ultimately, if you're a ultimart taxpayer. But it applies to whether you're in the county or another city that that it really shows where your tax dollars go and and I'm not speaking out of school.

A

But I think that the department's really take pride when they come to get nine classes and each department tries to outdo the other department and- and it's it's great and they brag adam- has about a 45-minute presentation that he could probably show you about about his. It has to do with Star Trek. So that was that was pretty neat, but they really do and it and they don't feel like they're being burdened by staying extra or working late to present, that to you, they're really proud of their department.

A

So with that I'll turn it over to Anne and she's, going to introduce our citizens Academy recipients. Oh sorry, mr. beaver, Lynne, I think.

J

I think they have to talk I, think you're, going to find it even bigger in the future. I think I'll have some plans for it to make it even bigger in the future. Okay.

A

I mean I think you know and we continue to find I think different ways to showcase our our departments and everything. So.

P

Well, I know that Kathy and I learned a lot. We go citizens Academy every year, I want it real quickly, Kathy her baton round of applause, because she coordinates the whole.

P

C

P

Trisha Pokeno come on up, oh and then, when you come out, please stay up because they'll take a group picture.

A

Before you guys disperse does.

I

Anybody want to say anything about the citizens, Academy.

A

I think somebody does I.

H

Just want to say that I am very impressed by this I've moved to altamar four years ago and I love it here and I am very impressed because there are some very intelligent, capable people running this city and I feel good. Excuse me and I feel very proud to be part of it, and we learned something every single week. We learned something new and it was a great experience. I really appreciate it.

L

Yeah, okay, I'm Jeff hunt and I'd like to say that one thing about the Citizen Academy that really impressed us was getting to know the city. Employees, the ones that were in our class, were so much fun so informative, especially Leisure Services.

L

My wife and I are very active in the kayaking and outdoors and everything and we're gonna get involved in some of the other leaders. Services too, and give her all kinds of ideas.

H

In trouble, yes, we have fun.

L

Thank you very much.

N

After serving on the City Council, I kind of did it backwards, who I served on the City Council and then I did the citizens Academy, but I can tell you, even after being on the City Council for six years, I learned a lot in this class and each department really did try to outdo the other and everybody it was just. It was funny, it was informative. Kathy and Anne worked their tails off I mean they were there before we got there and they were there and also.

N

We actually have to thank the citizens of old Tamar, because we were also fed each time and so taxpayer dollars fed us each time which was awesome, free food, so yeah anybody that hasn't done this Academy, it's highly recommended. It is so much fun. So that's it.

A

Definitely a big thank you to the restaurants who really work with us on being able to we used to go after them and try and get them to donate, but that's a pretty big test as to donate a lot of food. So they give us a great deal and it's a lot of our restaurants that we have and I'm sure we're putting letters together to send to him and thank him and and again thanks to Kathy and and Ann. To do this and I know the last one was a little bit of a barn burner.

A

Wasn't that right before your garage, sale, I, think, and so she was stressing out to say the least. So thanks for having any interest in the city of Oldsmar.

D

Now that you're all graduates, there's a lot of committees and there's always council seats that come up for election. So.

A

Where are we next item? City Attorney, okay,.

Q

Item number 10 on your agenda is the second final reading and public hearing of ordinance. 20 17-17 I'll read that by title only ordinance, 2017 217, an ordinance of the city of Oldsmar Florida, exercising the option provided by section 3, a 1.98 6, / n 11 B 1 Florida Statutes to ban medical marijuana treatment center, dispensing facilities from being located within the boundaries of the city of olds, more adding section, 5.1 point 15 to article 5 of the land development code or the Code of Ordinances of the city of olds.

Q

More banning medical marijuana treatment center, dispensing facilities from being located within the boundaries of the city of rolls more providing for conflicts, severability and effective date. That was the second final reading of ordinance. 20 1717. This.

A

Is a public hearing? Anybody from the public wish to address this item? You almost got to address it wavin to somebody like that, seeing nobody I'll close the citizens of the public hearing portion of it for discussion purposes, I need a motion. Second motion in a second discussion on this item and I just want to say this: it's typical I get blasted, sometimes on Facebook, for some of the things that that happen, and you know, I definitely defended the city stance on this and I.

A

Think it's correct me if I'm wrong, but the stance basically well. Some of the comments were you know you need to be more progressive. You need to think of the people that need them. It's a lot of the dialogue that we kind of had up here and you know I quickly responded by telling them. You know that we can. We can undo this, but we can't enact it if we don't.

A

If we don't pass something now, we can't stick there genie back in the bottle, and so this does allow us to control it right now until we can either change our pharmaceutical regulations or ordinances or you know, do something different, but that we can't undo it. But the amount of places that we could potentially have in Oldsmar with the current situation, isn't good, so I I feel and still do that it's a good thing for the city of Oldsmar and the residents so that we actually control how it happens and what happens.

D

You know we looked at there's some residential areas where you could potentially end up with dispensary.

C

D

Other thing, of course, was the proximity of existing dispensaries. It's already great that we.

J

Don't have apologize for it, I'm.

A

Not apologizing I, just oh yeah, yeah I,.

C

A

Behind it, and just to that point Eric, you know we remember what we went through with the Oldsmar cares building and that particular building and piece of Robert II could have just as easily been a pharmacy and a dispensary. So by the way that the map is currently laid out. So the.

K

Residents are right there well, even at the work session, when we discussed it those dispensaries to deliveries so someone they can get it. They.

A

Can get it and it's not that they're not that far it's the.

J

Majority of the people that voted for was not voting for the pharmacies. No, they were just voting for marijuana. We.

A

Talked about it, what was it like? 70, something higher? We were higher than the county, every benlate higher percentage, but I think that was.

D

More that approved it yeah. So it's not.

R

Meditation was the fact that you might limit yourself on potential future tax revenue as it moves forward. The.

A

R

I

I think you know we.

R

Want to have some regulation on where they go and those kinds of things yeah.

A

Sometimes it's not always best to be first, so let some of these other cities kind of work out that the bug so I do have a motion in a second. If there's no other discussion hearing, none call the roll. Please.

P

P

C

P

Is 2017 there's 17, adding section five point: one point: fifteen to article 5 of the land development code of the Code of Ordinances banning medical marijuana treatment center, dispensing facilities from being located within the boundaries of the city of Baltimore is passed and after those five votes for it and 0 against it,.

Q

That's it for now. Thank you.

A

E

Manager, like a bear item, 11, is approved major amendment to an approved site plan for first watch, which is a restaurant within the Bay Harbor place development. This is a request for a major amendment to an approved site plan to construct a 3,500 square foot restaurant within the Bay Harbor place development. The background is in your packet for the attached staff report. Staff recommends approval, because this is a quasi-judicial proceeding. I'm asking the city attorney to handle this item from here. So.

Q

Anyone that wants to speak on this issue- if you could please stand up, raise your right hand and be sworn under oath right, looks like you're. The only one you swear, the testimony you're about to give is going to be the truth. The whole truth, nothing, but the truth. Yes, okay, if you could make your presentation on behalf of the the city, please for.

S

You Daphne planning the redevelopment director. This is a major site plan. Then the city manager said the properties located in Bay Harbor place.

R

J

R

Just got a word in he's already: slippin slippin.

D

S

Okay, the bear replacements actually the last.

S

Redevelopment originally, it was slated for a bank, a 3,500 square-foot bank, and now the applicant is proposing to construct a 3,500 square-foot restaurant.

S

You can see there it's located on the east end of the development.

S

And there's just a picture of the property's bacon like thank you guys for parking right now.

S

And restaurants are permitted juices in the c2 district. This will be a restaurant, only a breakfast lunch though it will not be much function dinner, so the hours of operation will be I, think seven to like two or three. So the parking should accommodate that.

S

A

We're gonna take back Adams award or me I.

S

Know: okay: there was an elevation, it's located along the temporal corridors and it's consistent with you 15 development and it meets all the architectural requirements of the chamber over border.

S

Okay, there was some concern about parking when the development was initially approved. In 2004 there was 269 pregnancy, not all of them were constructed and the applicant now proposes to add 14 additional parking spaces, so there'll be a net gain of about 278 parking spaces for the project. The applicant is also submitted a parking study that shows that the knocking is adequate through the site. So staffs recommendation is approval of the major amendment and a to an approved site plan to construct a square foot.

S

Last time and I'd like to enter the staff report into the record and.

A

Q

Nobody else alone. There was no one else that was sworn in I, don't know. If the applicant is even here yeah anybody.

A

Here, okay, did you want it? Did you want to speak? If you do, we just got to swear you in okay.

Q

Presentation from the applicant, then we need to open it out to the public for anybody.

A

In favor of this, that would like to speak on it. Well, they didn't.

Q

If they stood up anybody.

A

For this, anybody against it, okay, seeing no one will close the public portion of this item and for discussion purposes, can I get a motion got a motion second motion and a second discussion. Anybody I'm.

R

Very excited about this. It's always great to have more brunch and breakfast options and personally there's a first watch that open near detect, Data headquarters and Clearwater, and it's very popular.

R

We eat there for lunch and breakfast all the time and I'm really impressed with how they've changed their menu recently, there's a ton of healthy and organic options and juices and salads, and so they've come a long way and really happy to see that they're interested in the city. My.

J

Beautiful wife and I have eaten the first washing powder. We go across the countryside many times, but one thing and there won't be any traffic at night parking. It yeah.

D

Okay, so I was because of the fact that they closed at 2:30, because I looked online just to see what time it.

C

Was okay? It's not gonna have.

D

Any any impact I don't think on the parking. That's.

R

Over there now you just lunch I.

D

You know, even when it's busy at night over there you'll find the space just mean. You're gonna walk a little bit and.

K

Log first watch I'm, so gonna.

A

Be first watch second watch Third Watch.

K

Opening up today, I.

C

A

This is my only concern and I've eaten it first watch and I think the restaurant itself and your recent your comments about the menu is great.

A

My biggest concern is and has always been, obviously I live in Bay, Arbor and I was involved in that process before I even came on, council I mean in fact changed our guidelines for parking as a result of Bay Arbor, because you've got Tijuana flats, you've got rumba, you've got salt, rock you've got hot tuna wooden ladle, and now this that under are being parked under the previous guidelines, which is just retail as opposed to the increase to, and that is what has caused the problem in Bay, Arbor, I, guess I guess maybe I do have a question of staff and you know I know I, don't know how many we're losing out of the grass space to replace the footprint, but there's clearly probably more than the 14 spaces of people that Park there and I.

A

Think that we've talked and I talked with al is that although those 14 spaces get taken, it's more out of convenience because there are spots in the back, my biggest question is that, although we all just said that we love first watch, there's no guarantee that that's going to be there for the duration. What would happen if something else came in as a restaurant, and is you know breakfast lunch and dinner and bar and everything else? What would what would happen then?.

S

Visit Monday Wednesday Friday to see if there was any excess parking and Monday and Wednesday. There was over 20 spaces and then Friday over 50 additional parking at one time of.

A

Day no okay and I guess then I know there did I know that the landlord at one point had looked at there's a stormwater pond in the back that you could it's kind of a vault without a top on it, but she could retrofit that and put some parking on it, but I think the cost was very prohibitive from doing it. What's the what's the resolution, if it becomes a problem and who determines if it's a problem.

S

I mean that will be their decision. We can do something similar to what we do with Park Avenue Plaza. We encourage them to provide valet parking and there's many restaurants that have valet parking, and you know I think that the other businesses in there will strongly objected. They can't give their customers in this and.

A

Which leads to my next point and I: don't know if we've revisited this because I believe there's some new ownership in there, but Astra properties at one time was being talked to about any evening. Providing some kind of an agreement for additional parking. I indicated that I'm a resident of Bay Arbor, which is right behind there, as is al and initially when Bay Arbor, was going in there. We were very concerned about the traffic coming out onto our street.

A

Now that we've got those pork chops out there, but the bigger concern and I don't know if the signs are still there or all the signs was we didn't want to happen. What happens in a lot of cases? Is they can't find a spot, so they parked on our entrance Road into our neighborhood, causing you know, traffic concerns and parking problems and Psyche distances, and all of that? So if we.

R

Could have yeah.

A

Why can we check and make sure that the nope I know they went overboard the first time? But the objection was it's: it's difficult already to get out of there and now we're adding even more traffic to come out into somewhat now.

D

Because I've never had a problem leaving.

A

There, honestly, it's do you come out on my street jobs, yeah.

D

Going back yeah, it.

A

Can be at rush hour, you know if you really the worst time is when you're leaving when people are getting out of work and everybody's coming out of there, and- and you know, we just had a huge four car pileup coming out of there, because they've put those pork chops in there the day the d-o-t put them in there, and so now you either got it well now, they're doing it.

A

There, they're cutting through Bay Arbor and the plaza cutting across and making u-turns and I, don't think people we were talking before with the deputy that I, don't think people a realize how fast cars travel and B they don't know what kind of aratus they need to make a u-turn, and so they start making a u-turn and don't realize it they need to, if not all three lanes, and so the volume of u-turns, because of this is a lot bigger so that it's it's really become. A I was talking to Al earlier.

A

The difference before they put those pork chops in was that you could either come out a Beata, Plaza or Bay Arbor, where I live and we can pull into the median, and you could take the first Lane. You know because you could go left or you know, whichever direction you're going now you if you're gonna, make a u-turn, you need two or three lanes. Even if you go up to the traffic light, but a lot of people aren't going up to the traffic. Like the deputy said tonight, II got somebody he was.

A

Was he going it turned into? The second lane? Is that what it was the guy that made that u-turn that she pulled over because he cut somebody off because he thought they were in the no saint? But it's the.

M

A

M

And then you work your way over to the.

K

Third Lane immediately so.

M

They make a u-turn right back ups, were you trying to go to your neighborhood as well as from over on.

A

The street a multi-camera.

M

A

M

Thing people want to get all the way over make a u-turn to go by and.

A

That's really not the discussion item tonight, but it definitely an increase of traffic is definitely something that you know we got to be conscious of in the fact that you know there's a greatest first watch is they. You know there may be something else that wanted to go in there. So.

J

This doesn't address here, you're they're concerned about what's happening with there were itself and and and with this new unit is going to there, but this, but the city manager, I, was talking to him about that youtr as of today and yesterday.

A

Ot took the no u-turn signs down so.

J

A

We have them, but so, at any rate, it's kind of taking a situation that was bad and made it bad in a different way. But my concern is really over the volume of traffic there and- and you know, as long as the landlord is prepared address it when it becomes an issue for it's not something. So it's not Marie, it's not something that we would be involved in other than maybe the resolution if they needed to create some additional parking or valet or be.

S

A question for the city attorney, but we could have a condition on the approval of the site plan that, in the event, there is a parking issue that you know they'll be responsible for curing it, similar to the development agreement that we had for Woodland, Square and so may be. An option would be the Astra product. She knows some kind of.

G

S

Agreement with Astra products, valet parking or whatever you're.

A

Saying that they, who would be today, would be the property management.

S

Yeah management or the property owner yeah.

A

Q

Well, they're not part of this application, so they.

A

Q

Applicant is 3687, tampa road crossings LLC. Are they the owners I.

S

Q

So what I'm saying is that if these are not the owners that you couldn't be placing conditions upon the owner, okay, is that 3687 tampa road crossings LLC. Just then the owner of this parking lot area the entire parcel? Okay. So if they're the applicant, then yes, you could put a condition on it. Yeah.

C

A

Council think of that I just you.

R

Know yeah I mean obviously, if there's a parking issue, you want them to address it, so they.

A

Would want to address it, I would think I, don't know you.

D

Know it meets all the requirements. I was surprised that it was something that required a vote actually, but.

A

Because it's a substantial change, major modification ratification got.

D

But I'm not a big fan of putting on extra restrictions that I don't know that we really needed I mean.

K

You're plasma a lot during the day, I do with dry cleaners. You want flats, whatever and I, don't think, there's a parking issue around noontime I kind of agree with the Eric saying. Oh.

A

And my point was: is that if that's not what's there 10 years from now, you know yeah.

R

J

A

Mean it may not.

J

So, ten years from now.

A

Bringing it up for discussion not, and it's nothing to do with me, living back there. I just I, know that.

D

There's two different issues: we were talking about or other moments an issue with traffic right. It's irrelevant to the work, no.

A

I agree I just and.

D

I, you know, I just haven't seen there being a real big parking problem in there and.

A

I mentioned it earlier that they're parking on what will be this site plan, because it's it's a shorter walk than walking from about.

D

The market was probably gonna, drive out him. If you suddenly can't get parking and you want to go there. Yeah I gotta go there. Yeah.

L

Go somewhere else.

R

Take your car there.

A

R

A

Barbour and golf cart up there.

K

Want to say one thing mayor about the traffic I've lived at Eastlake Oaks. My house backs up to the road on Tampa Road, it's the first time since I lived there since 97. There have been two major accidents where the traffic was backed up all the way to curlew. That's the first time, I've seen that yeah and I talked to the fire department about it. They said it was because someone did a u-turn. There was an accident yeah.

A

That was last week or something, but it's.

R

A different subject.

A

Okay, my conditions are no conditions on I'm. Fine I just wanted to have the dialogue about the new parking. If it's not a problem, then it will.

R

Never have to be addressed.

R

A

Made a motion in a second.

Q

A

For the site plan yeah.

Q

So my suggestion is do by roll call vote, because it is a quasi-judicial hearing so that if there are any dissenters, then we make those that I mean.

A

I, don't want to do I, don't want somebody to vote no, just because of the variance or the condition. So if their overall I mean I like the overall thing.

A

P

Is this for the.

A

With the condition it would have to fail with that as it stands to add the condition. Okay.

P

Council member said: oh yes,.

A

P

A

P

Mickey, yes, yes, major amendment, an approved site plan, first watch within the bay a replaced development is approved with five votes for and 0 against, I'm.

A

Just glad we had a dialogue because yeah it'll take care of itself. It's amazing.

E

Number 12 approved the 2018 Union cyclists, international or UCI BMX World Cup agreement for the provision of the BMX Supercross World Cup in Oldsmar for September, 15th and 16th year 2018. This is a request for council approval for an agreement between the city and the Union cyclists international to stage host organised and promote the seventh and eighth stages of the BMX World Cup in 2018. If approved, this would be the only stages being held sorry, these would be the only stages being held in the United States for that year.

E

The financial requirements are presented on the cover memo on your packet, as well as the details of both anticipated revenue and expenses to host the event. I've asked our loser services director Felicia Donnelly, to make herself available to answer any questions posed by council staff recommends approval. Thank.

A

You need a motion for discussion. Second target motion, a second discussion, my.

R

Discussion would be that I wouldn't approve it. I was reviewing it and I was asking Al, but it doesn't. Uci has no financial skin in the game at all. We there at the entire cost of it, yeah.

D

I think $125,000 price tag and that's assuming that our director is able to have the time and raise the 80,000 in sponsorship fees. I, love doing these events, but I like the events that are pretty much break even or even if we make a little bit of money. It doesn't have to be big moneymakers for us, but putting out 25 to potentially over $200,000 all.

J

You have to have faith in what we're doing and I think. That's it very important to have that event, because it is very famous event or it will be, and it's the same thing with the BMX track. We okayed.

D

That it's not the same as to be an extra.

J

Well, it brings in the same kind of reputation, I.

R

Just think when you look at the other races and even the other agreements, we're going to vote on the expense is 1/10 of that price and I also feel like, like I, said, there's no skin in the game from UCI they're, not putting in any you know anything financially. We have to cover the entire cost. It just doesn't seem like a real agreement or partnership. If there's.

D

Also, some other issues as I understood it with the actual agreement itself in terms of the venue and the defendant, there's any litigation, the indemnification, it's all one-sided I mean it's the kind of thing that it's not the wise thing to do. I, don't think, because it has that kind of exposure, and you know those things really happen. Do.

C

We know where this was held last year. Was this held last year in a different City or.

R

I'm just curious.

C

R

Maybe have already hosted this. It.

T

Was held last year in Sarasota, and so but the race was a different format. They only had elite riders and this one we're hoping to combine it with. It would be combined with an amateur racing element as well and.

A

Can we address the potential of sponsorship to offset some of the cost and I guess is that true that they don't have any financial skin in the game? I guess that's true.

E

C

Like I mean but I see.

E

It looks like that's true, but you know more about it than I. Do that's.

T

Correct they are sending, they will send down staff, they have. They asked us to provide 110 room nights for their staffing to come, and then they take care of the timing on-site, so they have in kind service donation. So they have some investment into that.

T

A

Curious, the rooms we do who.

R

Pays for this very many rooms, yeah.

A

R

Reason I'm just curious was the reason why they didn't choose to go with Sarasota again this year or Sarasota didn't have the option to I'm just wondering if there was like another like what, if Sarasota hosted it last year, if it was so acclaimed, why wouldn't they have wanted to Rios three host it yeah if it was I'm.

T

Not sure who all submitted bid, so you submit a letter of interest and you submit a letter of interest to the UCI and then they responded favorably but I'm, not privy to how many other if they received any other I. Just don't know the answer to that and.

A

This is kind of a question that I don't know that we know the answer to. Maybe you do being on the TDC I know at some point: we're going to apply for TDC funds, I assume that this would play a component into making the clouds for getting funding for our entire Sports Complex. Just this would be one component of it and, having said that and I hear what Jerry's saying, but I also hear and see that the financial component I mean I think when we put that facility in several years ago.

A

The thought was is that you know we would have the Gatornationals and we would continue to grow and hold world. You know we threw the term out there, world events, but I, don't know who that at the time when we were discussing it- and we even knew really what that meant from a financial and commitment standpoint. So it's.

J

Just something that it can be a big success for the city of Baltimore. It can, and also it can be, a problem. It's just something that did.

A

A pretty heavy waiter, do you think on the TDC I mean I'm, not on the TDC, so I mean I, think I think it definitely I know. Tamp International is very interested in it and helping sponsor I think they've either up the Gator, Nationals or they've got the sponsorship for that. But anything in writing, though correct from any of these. We.

T

Don't have anything in writing and in response to your TDC application for the old Sauer Sports Complex, that the room night creation from the collective three events on site is being projected out for that. So it's a part of the application for the ikan like impact, because TDC is interested in creating room night visitation. So that's that is a factor in that application. Certainly Felicia.

J

Your opinion, your thoughts, yes, your thoughts, because you're gonna be a big part of this, so you tell me and I suppose they'll want to know also what do you think about it? Put yourself out on the line I? Don't we put you.

J

Because we had great confidence in you, if you think this is a good thing for the city, I'm gonna support it. If you think we can get sponsorships I'm going to support this.

J

A

Before you answer that I guess to that question, if it's okay, councilmember Berlin, we haven't done this I, don't think. Even when you came on board, we had an idea of the you know what was involved with this kind of an event. We've been always used to doing, with USA, BMX and and all that do we have any field for Sarasota, councilmember, McGee's question and what they, if they, if they had it to do over again, would they do it?

A

I know, you said it's a kind of a horse of a different color, but I don't.

T

Think Sarasota would do it over again in the format that it was executed. So, having said that, this event is a new format, so you see I realized that it had challenges with the Sarasota event.

T

Specifically, that's the one that I heard feedback from and so in it, and it really had to do with you know, 200 to 250, elite riders and then the cost of the event production and then creating economic impact, so 200 to 250 elite riders, while the room nights will be longer than Gatornationals was the ROI, therefore, to support a continuing event.

T

So when, when we've had conversations, we have told them that we would not enter an agreement or be interested at any rate until unless we had the the ability to have a local event at the same time, so through support of USA BMX, although I don't have a contract. Yet the SSA, which is the next item for you all, would run a concurrent event at the same time as the elite, so that you see I established a schedule to where that could work. So because of that, we are the first one to do that.

T

We're also limited to Florida because of the way the BMX sanctioning bodies are we're the only state with a state association. So the Sunshine State Association is only in Florida, so the only tracks that they would consider even consider is poly Sarasota and us.

T

So the Sarasota was last year, and so the the event is a completely different event than it was from Sarasota, which is great because it offsets our costs and it creates the increased revenue from a bunch of different sides right from parking from concessions, because you have more people on-site, but then it also creates the heads and bed set that you would need to to even consider something like this and.

A

This is televised, although not necessarily live at it, but it ultimately will be televised.

A

T

So you see I there by reading their organization guide, so they'll bring in their own broadcast charts. It's UCI is, is the head sanctioning body of all things, cyclists, so UCI does a very famous race called the Tour de France? So that's part of the same organization, so their media reach from the international spectrum is a very wide net. Today.

J

We bring a lot of publicity to the city, it was more. We.

A

Wouldn't get the revenue from the TV advertisements, but we would get the exposure from.

T

We would definitely from my understanding is that we would get the international exposure from a media side through the partnership with UCI. We.

J

Would bring a lot of money into the city and.

T

We would bring what a.

J

Lot of money into the city not to the city coffers, but into the city, restaurants, yes,.

T

So the the economic impact part of that equation is so the economic impact roughly for USA BMX for Gatornationals brought in 2600 room nights last year, though these days. So it's about the same amount of people, but the stays are longer because elite riders don't fly to the United States to race at state for three nights, those elite riders will see them stay for a longer period of time. Now my personal experience with that is through the Ironman, so the city of Clearwater hosted Ironman well.

T

Elite athletes came down for one race for three weeks: I, don't know how long they'll stay, but they'll stay for a longer period of time than a national event. There's.

R

No guarantee, though, that they'll stay in the hotels here in Oldsmar. There's.

T

No guarantee of that, at all I mean we have the we have limited limited service hotels. So if somebody wanted a full-service hotel, the closest one is either safety, harbor, spa and us Brook there's you know they could say at the beach I can't I can't we do encourage by rebates so part of that you guys in the budget there's like a travel rebate item and so the way that works is that the revenue you get a rebate back from the hotels directly, so we would be.

T

We would be pushing the BMX community to our five hotels at discounted rates and then rebate it back to us. That's that's the way, all these major sports. Definitely we.

D

Travel, the traveler rebate on the projections, it's $1,000 right, yeah,.

T

D

Not meaningful compared to no.

T

D

Where do you how I realized you haven't spent time actually going out work on this part of the project because it has to go through here first, but on the 80,000 that you have projected and sponsorships?

D

Have you had any initial discussions that would lead you to feel confident, but that's an obtainable number I feel.

T

That 75,000 of that is very competent, I'm. Confident in that so visit, st. Pete Clearwater has said that they want to invest fifty thousand it's a verbal agreement and then I had a conversation with another sponsor who I think is gonna, be at that 25 level. I felt conserved, that's a conservative number and the sponsorships, although you can't just because you have to right out the gate, doesn't mean that you're gonna get a ton more of the bigger dollar I.

D

Mean I would assume that there's a reason why you put the estimate is it's gonna cost about a hundred twenty-five thousand I.

K

Mean you feel you can get some more sponsors I feel.

T

That we can get some more but again the the it's harder to estimate the bigger sponsors. So you know that the easy ones, the lowest sponsorship level that I would even entertain on something like this is twenty five hundred, and so you know, I suspect that we'll get local community support for those numbers, but when it comes to cutting a check for $50,000 those are fewer and far between, especially for a first year event.

C

R

Guess my biggest problem is I'm not having any skin in the game. I mean I, don't feel like it's fair that we're paying for their site visit their lodging their per diem for their employees to come here. I would feel a lot more comfortable and you can save thirty thousand dollars of the cost. If we weren't funding, they.

D

Actually, as I understand that there is a requirement that people gets to point people attend training visit in Switzerland as part of the bid package and so I don't know. I I'd be interested in some of Tom's Ott's as it relates to the agreement, because I mean there's reliability there, that we don't have this same kind of liabilities, not the same kind of expense, with some of the other events that we host, and so we should know the difference.

D

Q

My two cents worth I was not happy with this agreement from the beginning: I'm not happy with it. Now there is extreme amount of exposure to the city. I've talked to Felicia a couple of times. We've had numerous emails back and forth about my concern about this agreement. I'm concerned about both skin in the game was the biggest thing page after page after page of notes as to are we aware how much this is.

Q

Gonna cost us I'm very concerned about the fact that, in the indemnification provisions that, if there is any accident, anybody gets hurt, we're going to be responsible for it, whether they were negligent or not, the UCI can be negligent and we're still responsible for their negligence. The only thing that they're responsible for under this Agreement is gross and willful misconduct. It has to be way over the top. Are they they're responsible, so I'm very concerned about those liabilities?

Q

Besides no skin in the game, I'm very concerned about the the enforceability of the agreement. If we have to you know, challenge them on some other obligations. Whatever obligations they have, they don't comply. We have to go to Switzerland and we have to deal with this in Switzerland and obviously you know we'd have to hire a lawyer in Switzerland.

Q

In addition to that, it wouldn't be in a court of law, it's in a court of arbitration which is even more expensive because you're having to pay for either a one or a three arbitrator Court to make a decision and most the time their findings are not binding, and so then we'd have to follow it up with a court action after that in Switzerland and I.

Q

Don't know the law of Switzerland, but I can tell you that it's not going to be like it is here in Florida and so I'm very concerned about that provision, the governing law and the arbitration provision and.

D

In comparison to the agreements that we have like the and we're putting on the Gatornationals night day, it's night and day different and see I think well, first up I, don't I, don't I, don't think we should start getting in the habit of writing this big of a check for something. That's not gonna. Have it's not gonna like it's not like some kind of capital improvements gonna be left behind right.

D

You know, when you look at the things on here, you know we're paying to put on their event and we're hosting it, but we're paying for all of it and I. Don't think we're in a position to start spending that kind of money when there's not something that's gonna be left behind out about other than goodwill. I mean number one number two I think.

D

Sometimes there are stuff that you really want to do that you're willing to take some risk on, but I would say this I could never support this because of the exposure that we are accepting for the city, I, don't I, don't think that's the right thing to do. Why don't? We just call the well.

R

Can I withdraw my motion? Why.

J

Don't we just vote on it then, and quit.

R

J

A

J

Have the right they have the right that we can talk about it all night long, let's just vote on it. You all know the next name.

A

I'll run the meeting if.

J

That's okay, I said it'd be nice. If we did that I.

A

Know well, I think, there's some definite concerns in it and maybe a couple of questions. I guess. My question is of a lor, Felicia or Tom in this negotiations. Two questions is: is this pretty standard for UCI in their agreements, whether it's the Tour de France or the the deal that they did in Sarasota? Is this pretty standard contracts for them and then the second question is since they're not going back to Sarasota? Is there any leverage that we have to get them to change some of these things or is it you.

B

A

We take it or we don't. You know this could throw what I assume this would throw a wrench and event seven and eight of this world championship. Thank you. If they can't get us to come to the table, is that I'm not putting words in my mouth, but I have.

T

Never coordinated events with them directly before I will tell you that I did forward Tom's comments to them and then what I got was their best. They said this is our responses. This is what we're willing to do, and so you know whether we can go back to them and say you know we're not going to approve it unless you change it. I just don't know the answer. Let.

J

Me ask you: let's bring it, maybe even further to the forefront. If this be the case, why even bring it to council.

A

J

Doesn't have to come to council, okay,.

A

I would disagree with well, maybe they can't do it without us. Well,.

J

They can't do it with us either. So if, if tom has that kind of doubts about it and that's been presented to the city of the city manager into yourself, well,.

A

J

Wait a minute I'm.

A

Not kidding I wanted to.

J

Move on, if it's that much concern that they that the city is gonna be liable for everything, I would just as soon have never come before. Council. Well,.

A

And I, don't think and I think it does only because collectively as a body because, essentially laws, we can't really have the dialogue that we're having today about all these items and hear everybody's opinions. Ok, let me ask you this, then, how.

J

Do you think about it? You know, you know, were the five people up there, but but other people are involved in a deeper than we are before we before it came to here before.

A

He answers that. Can I ask what my other question, which was so for the only game in town for them. I guess. My question is from a time sensitivity standpoint. So what if we don't approve it tonight, let's just say, and it goes back to the drawing boards. What's our what's our window of opportunity that you know if it came back that the first meeting in January with some changes that I mean has the horse left the barn or maybe.

T

E

T

Can't I can't really.

E

Answer day to the seminar I would say: the horse has left the barn, because that session is the beginning of December, which would be before our next meeting and, as Felicia said, she did approach them about concerns that Tom had. There was some limited movement on the agreement, but they did basically draw a line in the sand and said this is what we're willing to do. Obviously, staff recommended approval, but we were absolutely understand that there are plenty of issues of concern here.

E

I would say we would have brought if we weren't going to entertain it. Our overall goal was to try and have as many events that the track as we can. This is one of them. This is the big international body to have it in because of the expense we didn't. We wanted to be transparent. We could look at it like. This is an expense over twenty five thousand dollars. So from a purchasing standpoint, be something that you come in front of you anyway. So I don't disagree with mr. B's point about.

E

We didn't have to bring it to you, but our the overall theme for us when we built the track was to try and come up with as many events as we can.

A

E

That point I would think we.

A

Would hear the opposite argument if we didn't do it move forward and the council had no input on.

R

Tom can I withdraw my motion I made so that we could discuss this so I can make a new motion, or do we need to vote on this.

Q

You can withdraw your motion or you can vote it down whichever your pleasure is, but my suggestion is the sense it's a motion to approve. That would be the appropriate way to do it.

Q

A

The motion- just at least this is my intent when we do this is the motion to approve is for discussion purposes only. It doesn't necessarily indicate how anybody's good.

R

Okay, I wanted to make sure you know if I need to make a new motion vote on it, I'm ready, I'm.

J

All for having other the events here, but after you know, after our discussion here it it's obvious to me that I don't want to put us in a position where we're we'll be sued out of Switzerland.

A

Are there other events, not necessarily UCI World Cup events? I assume there are other events that that ultimately, we could continue to work towards to get here. I mean we're adding that the other one that's on here and there.

T

Aren't so so UCI.

A

T

Able to use their strict contractual requirements because they're in so a sanctioning perspective, the only so the USA BMX is our United States sanctioning and so there's now 330 tracks in the United States and there's six Supercross tracks in North America. So while we can request and I've already informally requested another national event, that's unlikely because there's only they only have a handful of them about one a month and so and then the SSA is the other event for us here in Florida, but I, don't really know the long-term sustainability of that organization.

T

Because of the way that BMX was there used to be two sanctioning bodies. They collapsed into one and SSA is kind of on the side. They're, the only state Florida's, the only state that has an SSA, so I, don't know if that'll be around for a long time. It.

A

T

R

Ssa event: it's not dependent on this UCI event. I mean you mentioned that it was gonna help bring additional riders at the same.

A

Time I mean it will still.

R

Continue with or without the EC I agree, where.

A

T

Think don't know that for an SSA event in September we have one on the agenda for January Oh God when we have a contract for SSA may not have the interest. If we don't have the UCI event. Okay, so there they.

A

May have morning, maybe they may.

T

Have more I really don't know because it was kind of a deal to get it came together, but you know UCI. This was this: is the pathway to host a world championship? Uci wants you to host international than this scale before you can be eligible for a world championship? That's what they have said right now. Houston has hosting one and they've never hosted anything before, but they're building a new.

R

Truck, we didn't have a formal agreement yet either for the SSA portion, No.

A

Okay, so it's no.

R

Loss as of right now, because there's nothing even.

A

More potential to get there yes,.

R

A

They wanted to do it all right. This is and I'm ready to move on, but the so this is a this is a qualifier I assume the verbage of a championship is ten fold. This and cost-wise I would think I don't know. Do we have an idea of how much real world event is? Yes,.

T

Okay, so I know I can tell you what Rock Hill paid because I talked to them right. So the event cost about I think they said 1.8 million to put it on and they they projected a 30 million dollar economic impact.

R

A

What about ROI for their? How much was it, how much of it was I.

T

Don't know what their revenue was, because when I was talking to them was during the world championships, I only knew what the expense side was there I, don't know what the with the revenue offset at that point was it.

R

Was something we were gonna do we would certainly announce the TDC?

R

A

Sure, but you know I mean.

R

Have some skin in the game yeah.

A

Oh yeah I mean that's. That is definitely a frustration. Is that there's virtually no.

R

Game, they have no liability and they have no financial and.

A

R

All I'm really.

A

Doing their financial interest is they're, the ones that make the money on it right right, that's, okay, anything else! You want to add for the good of the cause. I'm, not sure this was going the way with everybody to hope, but I tend to agree. I mean I. I wouldn't be opposed to paying some money. If some of the exposures weren't there and there was some skin in the game, you know- and this was a relationship you know well.

D

The timing of everything's difficult because if Gaby was to have removed her motion, I would have made a motion to table yeah.

B

D

At least be able to go back to look it's a deal breaker the language in here we just can't get over. It also might create an opportunity to find a little bit more about sponsors and that kind of stuff, but I recognize it's time-sensitive. At this point in the you.

R

Can't host it if they don't attend the event in early December in Switzerland.

E

That's my interpretation but I. Think that's fair to say you know one thing to Tom's point: I, don't think the agreements gonna get significantly better, no matter what we do. We.

B

E

That exchange with them and they gave us their best and final.

D

Yeah but I don't think that I would be surprised if they're not surprised when they found out if it failed. So perhaps maybe it should fail and if they say why it's not just the money, it's the liability- and you know you know, maybe maybe Sarasota is, for you know, Pro risk not as adverse I. Don't know the.

J

Money doesn't bother me because you know I said when we built thing to be am extract. We had to put up the whole damn myth: a million bucks I'm all for it and look what has happened to us sure.

A

I mean it I think it's the sum of all these pieces that really the liability. If.

R

Something terrible happened that weekend and we were responsible, we're not a.

J

Liability, scary and.

R

A lot of bad things could happen at it. Money's.

J

Not expecting for me Spain the money, it's nothing.

A

I can justify I can justify the expense yeah.

J

There was some other absolutement there, but the liabilities kind of shape everything.

D

A

I mean I, I mean I. Think if there's some other things were answered, I mean you know they get all the revenue from the TV we get whatever we generate and sponsors. You know, I mean if there was any kind of a relationship. This is a completely one-sided. You know relationship, you know expecting us about a big dowry for it. So I.

J

Really don't want to have the city pay out a lot of money to have Tom go to Switzerland right.

Q

Yeah I wouldn't be going over there well.

A

I mean I assume that the training that's going on is going for all, not just the segment. Seven and eight that are here, I assume it's I, don't have many segments. There are. How many times did they do this I think.

T

There's eight but there's I, think there's they divide those by the number of venues, so I think there's four venues and eight races: okay,.

A

So maybe there's three venues and some of them got a double up or some time where the other I mean it. They even in the States, obviously not good.

T

Yeah, they only do one in the United States if they do on the United States.

J

Well again, for my part, I don't mind spending the money, because I think it I think the city of Baltimore will benefit from it.

A

I get it that you know you kind of have to host one of these qualifiers to get the World Cup, but I'd also like to know what Rock Hill, ultimately, what their takeaway was from it. Because I know it was a big expense and you know, and then, when is Houston's Houston.

T

L

T

Twenty as Houston and Houston did not have to follow their traditional method, which is hosting a World Cup before you host the world's but they're building a brand-new standalone track, similar to what Rock Hill has so, which the sites the site is a cycling site. It's a little different than ours, so they've committed to them for then, but again, I, don't know if they've signed contracts yet or any of that either.

C

A

Yeah I mean I just want to make sure that everybody got a chance to ask their questions. I think they're all important questions that you know Felicia and Tom and Alan heard you know what what our thoughts are and I still.

J

Haven't heard Felicia's uh recognized.

A

I want to put her on the spot.

T

Counsel, it gives me my direction.

D

If this fails, are you gonna be disappointed? The sales are you gonna, be disappointed as.

T

They counsel it gives me my director.

D

Really try again so.

T

I'm not falling for that. The.

K

First thing: when I met without the first thing I was concerned about was the expense and then Tom seeing the liability is just you.

A

Know liabilities, the bigger I mean the expense. Sometimes you got to spend some money to get yourself in the queue for the bigger thing and because I as I mentioned, it gets us in the queue for the TDC money. For you know the month, you know for that. I'm on the TDC I, don't mind defending the fact that we didn't do it. It wasn't because of necessarily financial. It was because of the exposure.

J

We built the track yeah a little more built the track. We took the chance yeah.

A

Discussion I'd like to do this by roll call just so we have the clarity and.

J

Maybe by that you can tell us that we love to have them if they won't sue us.

D

I think as well I think in the future, perhaps when we know that we're planning for an event like this, at least as it relates to the economics. You know, maybe there's a longer term strategy of lining up sponsors way beforehand and so forth. I mean where it's not suddenly. You know as big of a gap in the future, but the liability will always probably be an issue quite frankly, and.

K

The other thing it's a time-sensitive issue, maybe if you brought up the council, maybe sooner.

K

A

Assume, maybe they'll have one next year to you, know: I, don't know how.

T

A

We know how often they do these I don't know. If we know the answer today and.

T

I can't predict well.

A

They obviously won't happen, or they.

T

Want to entertain a bid from us yeah.

D

I would imagine up to this. The probably aren't gonna be super excited about it.

A

Yeah I mean well, I mean okay, so be it! Oh, you know. That's.

G

About the liability either yeah.

A

So if you make something, that's you can appeal that you can swallow so at any rate, so I'm ready to vote no other discussion, color roll, please House,.

P

Members sat down dad.

K

P

K

P

Remember Berland.

J

Sorrowfully no.

P

No motion to approve the 2018 Union Cycliste Internationale BMX rope agreement fails with service for Americans relieve.

A

Some of those thoughts I mean you know at the end of the day, we're responsible to the taxpayers and you know, and our citizens from above the financial and a liability standpoint and.

T

They make counteroffer right.

A

T

Come I may call them tomorrow and they may be like. Oh no, we'll do what you want. I mean.

D

That's that's really a buy opinion. The hopes yeah yeah.

T

H

D

It's good for us to walk away from Mary and.

A

Maybe to Tom's point you know they are, you know they want us to come over there. They don't. You know, maybe that's just the way they do things over there. You know.

E

Thirteen prove the Sunshine State Association Florida Cup Series race, weekend agreement for the provision of a Florida Cup, Series qualifier and a florist a championship race. This is a request for council approval for an agreement between the city, the Sunshine State BMX Association SSA, to host the Florida Cup qualifier on a Florida State Championship race on January 12th through the 14th 2018.

E

The financial requirements are summarized on the cover memo in your packets and I've again asked our loser services director Felicia's down only to make herself available to answer any questions from Council staff recommends approval.

A

Can you kind of- maybe recap I think we may know, but just for the record, that this Florida cup series is something that's kind of new, it's kind of evolved that used to be a forget what it used to be. What did it used to be called? Wasn't it didn't have kind of another name BL? Is that what it was so.

T

I, don't know the name of the Duomo.

E

T

The series that Florida cup series know.

E

T

Cindy, what it was a Florida Cup series called before it was the Florida Cup Series I.

A

Didn't really have a formal formal name. Did it.

O

M

T

So this one is sanctioned by USA BMX for a state championship race and it's kind, and so it's sanctioned by them, but the logistics are handled by the SSA instead of USA BMX coming down to do it. Ssa is coming over there in Oklahoma, which is five West Palm Beach. So.

J

If we get sued, we don't have to go to Switzerland, no.

T

And actually we changed the venue from them. They wanted the venue to be down in Palm Beach and they were fine with changing the venue to right here in Pinellas County. Mr.

D

Mayor, would you like a motion? Yep I can make a motion to approve a second.

Q

A

Is just for discussion any questions of Felicia on this particular item.

Q

E

A

Amongst ourselves and Tom, if you want to go ahead and try them in first yeah.

Q

Well, I had some thoughts on this one too, with Felicia, and you know it talks about the track being responsible for certain things, even though the city and the BMX Association are the only partners in this in this agreement, so I had made suggestions to change the word tracked, a city throughout the agreement that has not been had. That has not been done. This is the original version that I think that I saw. So, even though there are some suggestive changes, the changes had not been made.

Q

So, for example, if the agreement is between Sunshine State DMX Association in the city of oldsmar, it says the event will be held at the track and then it goes on, and it specifically says the track is going to be responsible with this and tracks gonna be responsible that. But there is no such thing and has.

A

Q

Be an entity there.

A

Is no yeah the track yeah I.

T

I'm sorry, there's some confusion, there's a new agreement that they sent that they've changed those items, that's not what's in the packet, the city on them, I had them change that specifically, okay,.

Q

So we need to make sure that the council is approving.

Q

You know the correct agreement. The one that's attached to the memo is not mine.

K

Says track this.

R

Says City, but up at the top it says: where is the event that was the agreement.

Q

Passed down so.

Q

Make sure that the correct agreement is actually being signed. You just look at this real, quick.

Q

Correct one that the city clerk has just passed down: I just you're, happy with them. So yes, so with the substitution of the track, City issue that's been resolved, then we can vote on this one. Yes, yes, sir I just want to make sure that you're voting on this one I want to pass it down. So everybody else can see it. Another copy.

A

Everybody looks at it and people that motion and second, are they coming I'm good.

K

A

You comfortable with your motion in your second I, am.

A

That's how you earn your keep.

L

J

Remember what were you first, when this came out of this council and I said? Thank you and I told you if I say something wrong: yeah, correct jump in.

A

A second on this any other discussion or questions of staff, all those in favor.

A

E

Next I am 14 and my apologize, my positive for 13 its I, not sure what I did to get the wrong that cream in there, but I apologize number 14 approved the USA BMX National Championship Series event, agreement with the American bicycle Association to host the USA BMX Gatornationals on February 23rd through the 25th 2018. This is a request for council approval for an agreement between the city and the American bicycle Association to host the USA BMX Gatornationals in February 2018, as previously mentioned.

E

This will be the fourth time that the city has hosted this event and all of the previous events have been very successful. The financial requirements have been summarized on the cover memo in your packets and once again as Felicia Donnelly, our leisure services director to be available twenty answer. Any questions from Council staff recommends approval, I.

A

Need any additional input? How do we end? Do they have an idea? I never learn offseason. So you don't get typically as many international riders, we still got a fair amount. Last year, I, don't know how many countries were represented, but we seemed like we had I. Think.

T

We had 19 countries represented and that, and so it was like 19 different countries and 749 riders. Okay,.

A

I know we're down because there are over a thousand one time, so, if nothing additional to add I will entertain a motion so move. Second, second, any discussion from the council on this down the delectably in any discussion, all those in favor. Nothing. Thank you.

E

Thank you. Thank you. Mary 15 adapters loose in 2017 19 the final year and budget revision for fiscal year 2016-17. This is a request for council approval resolution. 2017-19 referred to as our year-end budget provisions for the recently completed fiscal year. Each year the city executes three budget revisions for council approval to appropriate reserve revenues to cover unanticipated expenses that may have occurred during the fiscal year this year.

E

The only funds that require adjustment of the general fund in the solid waste fund has both funds were affected by unexpected expenses associated with Hurricane Wilma I will read the resolution by title only and then I would be available to answer any questions from Council staff recommends approval resolution, 2017 19, a resolution of the City Council of the city of oldsmar Florida, revising the budget for the fiscal year, beginning October, 1st 2016 and ending 7th September 30th 2017 authorizing the city manager and the director of administrative services to revise the existing budget mayor.

E

That concludes the reading of resolution. 2017 maintain thank.

A

You I need a motion for discussion. Second,.

A

All those in favor yeah, nothing anything else. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

P

Congratulate officially council member McKeon council member Seidel for qualifying thank.

A

You I like how you qualified, and then you told the citizens to Patti. You can run now that I'm not.

A

I'm kidding city council, we have one item on there, consider the City Clerk's annual compensation. If somebody wants to pull this, that's right.

B

A

Have an approved we don't have anything to approve yet so I'd like to ask a.

J

Question sure has any how many of the council has conferred with an on this person. Okay, that's one! That's good! You mean your review.

D

J

A

Connect, if I could real, quick and I think correct me if I'm wrong, she received a favorable recommendation, which is the requirement of the red solution that she gets at a minimum. The staff, the city which was 3% it's up to the council to do something other than that about above can't go below, but above last year she did get a 5%, and that was because she completed the certification.

A

I think we would all agree that the clerk's office has, especially in the communications and marketing component of it, has done what the City Council asked them to do, which was market, the city and it's kind of its kind of morphed into something really big. That's taken a tremendous amount of Ann's time and staffs time, and things like that and she's been able to manage that, as well as the normal clerk duties. When.

J

I would quest, for course, now okay I mean.

A

If any other discussion or thoughts, what.

D

So because I don't remember off the top of my head. What what? What was the increase in compensation for other.

A

3.3% was the yeah three percent, and so and last year we did the five four and, with the certification that she got so.

J

Don't take the city charter officials separate, we.

A

Do but they still have to follow the resolution that they have. We can't say you get nothing because at a minimum, if they get favorable, they get the minimum I.

J

Still would suggest four percent, this will you're making.

I

A

J

Making the motion- okay, okay, motion,.

A

In a second any of the discussion.

I

A

That's great job, don't say it so loud that gets on the minutes and everything listen and back they're taping it she's marking tapes over there and all those in favor. Nothing.

A

You do a great job by the way, even with.

B

A

Additional load Tom.

J

Now this is coming up later. I know that oh the see and I'm to blame, because I was the mayor and all this kind of crap Tom. We never gave him an increase and I don't know, did some time. You finally had the aspirin.

A

Couple years ago, so.

J

When does your compensation come up? Well,.

Q

When the budget process is discussed, if I think that there is a need to increase it, I come to the city manager's office with a suggestion and then I.

J

Just want to make sure we don't forget you again, I.

Q

Appreciate that but no I'll jump in.

A

That's all we have under City Council, so we'll move to council comments and I'll start with councilmember Seidel, since he qualified Thank.

D

You, mr. mayor, just a couple of comments, I think the Veterans Day event was really nice. I really thought your comments. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into it and a lot of our citizens commented on that I do think. We probably need to make sure our speaker knows the time requirements and Venom well. I mean I. Think her message didn't get across. You know like it was just kind of an awkward way that kind of unfolded. I felt bad for her.

R

D

Anyhow, I thought it was a great event thanks to all the citizens who came out and supported this year's fundraiser with the goals of her cause raised a lot of money, as mayor talked about earlier, I'm very excited to get elected back back. Well, that's not really elected, but you know.

A

D

You want to say it I know: it's not really the way to.

D

It was a three-person race last time so I'll take this pass, but I do want to thank all the citizens and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and be safe. That's it mr. mayor.

A

Thank you we'll go to our other qualifier yeah counts. Remember: McGee, Thank,.

R

You mayor I am also grateful to have qualified and unopposed that's always a nice blessing, but greatly appreciate everyone that helped me get petition sign, especially you Eric, who helped me get a lot of petitions signed and some of your friends awesome, awesome, Dan and Doug, and everybody so I really appreciate the help. I wouldn't ask Kathy: how was your yard sale how'd? It turn out was I successful. Did you raise a lot of money? It.

A

Kristin's closet he's going away he's going to eat every so many miles. I want.

K

To see one thing that what Eric said about the Veterans Day I think all of us work really well as a team I mean Jerry, Gabby everyone, but Doug. Your speech was great Eric. You did great thanking me all the city employees was I. Think we really work well together. It was a great event and the last thing I'm happy Thanksgiving, everybody I, don't know. If you guys saw my granddaughter I was here.

A

You comes from Ivy Berlin, just.

J

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody and in.

J

The library, I guess they'd ever seen quite a bit of money from the name of rock.

J

And then in the name of Sean- and you know, the library means a lot to me.

J

Because whenever, whenever the library was built down there, everybody was mad at me, everybody was mad at me. Cuz I didn't want the library built next to the city hall and I finally got to other votes, and we built the library down there and Burke came up to me sometime later and she said you were right and we were wrong.

J

You would never have that library where it is sitting next to City, Hall, award-winning library, yeah. Yes,.

J

Everything you've done, I know what the last budget meeting would be. I requested five thousand dollars more for you, because you've never asked for anything in all the years. They have never asked for an increase on anything, so I told Bruce. We need to put five and I faster. Do you want any more? She said. Five thousand dollars would be great.

C

J

Other things, thank you, I did wish everybody a Thanksgiving didn't I the only one other thing I know: everybody's gonna say this belongs to do T and it does belong to do T, but coming out of the other village. There is not a walkway there, a sidewalk and it's very dangerous. It's extremely dangerous and I would even say that if do T will give us the permission. To extend that I mean it's dangerous.

J

Coming out onto the road extent, extend that sidewalk and also Ann came up with the great idea of putting a whatever they have there. That tells you how many minutes you got to cross this road go on account.

P

Timer pedestrian contents of a surprise. That's.

J

Being kind of no and I think that's important there someday yo, someday y'all will be the age that I am and they are down there, and- and that means a lot because if you walk on that, where you can't walk on it, you have to walk in the middle of the road going into another village, and just thank you all. Thank.

A

You I don't have much congratulations to Eric and Gabi.

J

A

And I say this: with sincere honesty: I know you were prepared to run against. Whoever might have run against you and I had the utmost confidence that your two guys would do great so, but it is nice to not have to run so, but I know you were prepared to do it. We don't enter them. Thinking that you're gonna be not contended, so congratulations have a great Thanksgiving and hopefully get to spend it with your family and eat too much. Turkey and watch football fall. Asleep repeat:.

R

A

Then have sandwiches the next day, yeah, so I think.

G

C

A

The next day are the best part, I think so, and if there's nothing else, city manager, you anything and Kearney clerk Cassie. Nobody.
