A
Welcome
to
coffee
with
the
mayor,
I'm
deb
vitrelli,
we
are
broadcasting
live
from
the
top
of
tampa
bay
in
beautiful,
downtown
oldsmar.
With
our
host
oldsmar
mayor
eric
seidel.
These
segments
are
featured
each
wednesday
following
an
old,
smart
city
council
meeting
for
the
community
good
morning,
mayor
good.
A
You
a
little
tired,
that's
an
understatement
right.
So
before
we
begin,
we
encourage
our
viewing
audience
to
submit
any
questions
they
may
have
during
this
segment
by
commenting
on
our
facebook
live
feed,
and
you
can
always
email
mayor
seidel
at
e
seidel
at
milesmart.com.
Regarding
anything,
we
discuss
copy
with
the
mayors
to
keep
our
community
informed
on
highlights
from
last
night's
city
council
meeting.
So,
let's
start
with
citizens
open
forum.
A
B
A
B
Course,
but
that's
okay!
I
have
now
the
record
for
the
two
longest
meetings.
So
anyhow
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute
yeah.
There
were
some
folks
who
got
up
and
uh
spoke
last
night
under
the
citizens
open
forum.
Masuda
was
there
and
she
was
thanking
the
public
for
the
support
uh
for
the
christmas
wonderland
uh
when
our
singers
were
up
there,
uh
the
masood
of
dancers,
I
should
say,
and
then
also
promoting
a
little
mermaid
coming
up
in
april.
B
Okay,
more
informational,
follow
about
that
dallas
rose
was
there
talking
about
once
again
talking
about
the
uh
uh
airplane
traffic
uh
going
into
uh
the
saint
pete
airport,
and
so
for
those
uh
who
want
to
get
involved
in
that?
I
think
that's
really
his
message
he's
trying
to
rally
the
folks
to
help
support
when
he
goes
to
their
advisory
board
meeting
and
so
certainly
reach
out
to
him.
B
You
can
get
the
information
by
going
to
the
meeting
online
and
and
getting
his
information.
uh
Jarrett
buchmann
last
night
formally
announced
that
he's
running
for
seat
two,
oh
cool,
which
he
recently
qualified
for,
and
so
he
made
a
nice
announcement
and
then
of
course,
uh
doug
beavis
got
up
and
said:
hey
I'm
running
for
c2
as
well.
A
B
A
B
A
B
Sure
it's
it's
uh
run
by
the
florida
league
of
cities.
uh
It's
a
program,
it's
their
university,
that
they
run
to
help
educate,
newer
council
members,
and
then
they
have
advanced
programs
as
well.
It's
kind
of
the
fundamentals
I
think
most
of
us
have
attended
it.
Who've
been
on
council,
it's
good
experience,
but
it's
a
weekend
session,
and
so
he
went.
I
believe
he
went
in
april.
So
he
got
a
certificate
and
I
presented
it
to
him
last
night.
B
It
was
presented
to
carla,
uh
braithwaite,
oh,
and
so
that
is
our
city,
manager's,
uh
wife,
okay,
and
and
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
last
night
was
the
city
manager's
last
formal
meeting
as
city
manager
and
I'll
mention
that
in
a
minute
but
and
so
um
carla
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
uh
tremendous
supporter,
she
is
certainly
someone
who
has
made
it
possible.
I
think,
for
al
to
stay
focused
yeah.
A
B
B
A
B
They
did
they
both
passed
4-1
and,
like
I
said
it
was
a
long
meeting.
We
had
um
almost
60
people
come
out
and
speak
on
the
subject:
pretty
well
split
uh
a
couple
more
in
favor,
but
they
were.
It
was
pretty
well
split.
It
was
a
good
turnout
uh
and
I
think
I
would
encourage
people
to
go
watch
it
because
it's
always
difficult
to
try
to
summarize
other
people's
feelings,
sure,
but
I'll
take
a
shot
at
it.
B
First
off
what
this
does
there's
a
little
bit,
I
won't
say
confusion,
but
it's
a
it's
a
difficult
subject
to
tackle,
because
it's
not
something
we're
all
accustomed
to.
uh
We
didn't
change
the
density
first
off
if
this
goes
all
the
way
through
the
process
which
it
has
other
steps
to
go
through,
it
doesn't
change
the
uh
density
card
launch.
B
B
If
somebody,
if
the
council
approved
it,
it
requires
a
development
agreement,
they
could
have
two
hundred
and
seventeen
thousand
square
feet
of
office,
space,
150
apartments
and
a
five-story
parking
garage,
okay,
and
they
could
actually
go
all
the
way
up
to
six
stores.
It's
already
zoned.
For
that,
that's
not
what
this
is
about,
but
in
that
situation
we
would
say
to
them.
uh
Look
we
want
we'd
rather
have
more
people
there
than
offices,
uh
not
that
there's
anything
wrong
with
doctor's
office
right.
B
Because
we
have
some
good
ones
here,
but
we
would
rather
have
more
people
to
help
support
the
retail
on
the
bottom,
and
so
that's
what
this
does?
It's
an
incentive.
It's
an
added
tool,
but
even
if
it
passes
it's
still
30
units,
they
have
to
meet
certain
qualifications
to
get
and
that's
why
it's
called
an
incentive
or
a
bonus,
and
so
uh
it
passed
in
the
discussion.
B
B
uh
We
got
a
little
feedback
going
there
all
right,
so
uh
so
they're
worried
about
the
traffic,
the
impact
uh
quality
of
life
and
that's
you
know
a
legit
concern
um
and
I
think
that
was
kind
of
the
overwhelming
a
theme.
Once
again,
I
encourage
people
to
go,
go
watch
it.
I'm!
I'm
kind
of
you
know
summarizing
quickly
and
those
in
favor
of
of
it
were
saying.
Listen,
let's
move
it
forward.
B
B
And
they
just
didn't:
have
the
people
there
to
really
support
it?
Try
putting
18
new
businesses
in
and
there's
a
concern.
Can
we
support
it?
Does
it
not
make
sense
to
have
the
density
there
so
that
people
living
there
can
help
support
it?
In
addition
to
that,
you
then
find
yourself
in
a
position
to
negotiate
with
a
developer,
to
be
able
to
leverage
them
to
pay
for
what
is
expected
to
be
20,
25
million
dollars
in
infrastructure
costs,
including
parking
garage,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
the
in
favor
of
it
um
position
yeah.
B
If
somebody
else
is
taking
the
risk,
then
you
can
tax
it
for
the
benefit
of
the
people.
So
I
like
I
said
I
always
try
to
encourage
people
to
go.
Look
at
it
and-
and
you
know,
look
at
the
not
just
the
comments.
I
think
you
see
the
comments
and
you'll
get
a
general
theme,
pretty
quick,
but
go
listen
to
the
council
comments
towards
the
end,
uh
because
they
also
give
their
summary
pass
4-1
with
saraki
voting
against
it.
uh
But,
like
I
said,
go
listen
to
the
comments.
B
B
Then
it
goes
to
their
board
of
directors.
Then
it's
going
to
ultimately
get
on
the
schedule
for
the
board
of
county
commissioners.
uh
Then
it
eventually
comes
back
to
us.
It
also
has
to
go
to
the
state.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
before
we
see
it
again
it
just
it's
a
matter
of
calendars
and
holidays.
B
A
B
B
Was
a
good
meeting
and
I
I'll
tell
you,
I
really
appreciate
all
the
folks
who
came
out
almost
everybody.
There
was
a
couple
people
who
you
know
pulled
the
whole
we'll
vote
you
out
office
stuff,
which
you
know
if
you
want
people
who
respond.
Just
to
that,
I
would
say
then
you're
going
to
be
sadly
disappointed
in
them
when
they
have
to
make
decisions
uh
when
you're
not
around,
and
so,
uh
but
that
was
what
we
got.
We
got.
You
know
a
couple
people,
but
the
people
were
really
respectful
for
that
many
people.
A
B
A
B
B
You
know
people
forget
this,
but
I'm
the
only
one
on
record
to
say
I
will
not
support
it
in
its
current
layout
yeah
and
uh
so
I'm
anxious
to
see
what
the
final
layout
looks
like,
because
I'm
on
record
for
that
yeah
and
I'm
the
only
one
who's
on
record
to
say.
I
don't
support
it
yet,
but
um
it
does
have
the
elements
so
so
stay
tuned,
there's
more
to
come.
But
once
again
thank
you
for
everyone
who
came
out.
I.
A
B
A
A
B
A
B
And
she
continues
to
do
and
so
the
ballot
is
set.
So
it's
going
to
be
council
member
soraki
myself
uh
running
for
mayor
okay
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
uh
doug
beavis
and
jared
buckman
runner
for
c2,
okay,
and
so
uh
we're
set
to
go
and
off
and
running
and
we'll
be
voting
before
you
know
it
yeah.
I
know
time
flies
time.
B
B
Felicia
donald,
oh
so
our
assistant
city
manager,
uh
as
most
know,
is
becoming
our
new
city
manager,
and
so
it's
exciting
she's,
going
to
do
terrific
job
she's,
been
part
of
the
city
for
five
years
now
been
in
a
leadership
role
as
the
assistant
city
manager.
Certainly
uh
everybody
who's
worked
with
her.
B
The
feedback
is
the
same,
very
positive,
she's,
smart,
quick
and
I
expect
to
see
that
she'll
bring
a
little
extra
pep
yeah
into
the
into
the
city
hall
uh
into
city
hall
and
then,
at
the
same
time
time
I'm
gonna
make
this
comment
and
shift
into
al
a
little
bit,
because
this
was
really
al's.
Last
year.
A
B
B
B
A
B
Appropriate
if
you've
worked
with
al,
you
know
he's
kind
of
a.
I
told
the
story
and
I
we
got
a
little
time.
So
I
I
told
the
story
of
when
we
first
met
uh
and
we
first
started
meeting.
I
wasn't
a
I
wasn't.
I
was
a
council
member
at
the
time
and
he
was
what
he
was
still
new
and
he
was
kind
of
watching
his
p's
and
q's
a
little
bit
with
me,
and
I
looked
at
him.
B
I
said:
listen
now,
if
you're
a
wallflower
with
me,
I
will
never
respect
you,
I'm
just
telling
you
and
he
was
never
a
wallflower.
I
regretted
saying
that
that
was
like
a
dork
like
with
a
waving
the
cape
in
front
of
you
and
you
know,
and
so
so
that
you
know,
but
that's
what
you
need
in
that
role,
somebody
who's
going
to
give
it
to
you
straight
he's
done
a
terrific
job.
A
B
A
B
B
Shuck
and
save,
and
so
the
purpose
of
making
these
vertical
oyster
gardens
it's
a
lot
like
stringing
popcorn
during
christmas,
you
make
them,
you
hang
them
under
a
dock,
you
put
them
about
a
tide
level
and
they
attract
oysters
that
become
like
a
natural
reef
for
oysters
and
a
healthy
oyster
filters
about
50
gallons
of
water
a
day.
So
the
goal
is
to
get
these
uh
under
all
of
our
docks
in
oldsmar
and
we
also
partnered
with
safety
harbor.
B
So
we've
issued
kind
of
a
mayor's
challenge
with
uh
mayor
joe
myself
and
so
we're
having
fun
with
it.
But
it's
going
to
be
this
saturday
at
9
00
a.m.
Out
by
the
uh
peer
structure,
uh
the
the
shelter
rather
by
the
pier
yep
ariel's
park
so
come
out
there
at
nine
o'clock.
You
don't
have
to
own
a
dock.
We
need
people
to
help
string
these
and
people
to
monitor
them,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
a
really
a
fun
project.
B
A
B
B
Mic
but
it
starts
at
uh
bicentennial
park,
got
it,
and
so
it's
a
fun
event.
You
get
to
fix
up
your
golf
cart
and-
and
I
frankly
haven't
had
time
to
do
ours.
Yet
so
I'm
telling
to
myself
when
you
they're,
like
oh,
you
just
threw
that
together,
no
maybe
a
little
bit,
but
then
we
also
have
skating
at
boltsmar.
Oh
fine,
at
the
rink
out
there
it's
out
there
at
the
sports
complex
december
18th.
B
B
And
and
then
some
another
event:
that's
not
a
city
event
per
se,
but
it's
going
to
be
at
veterans
park
at
4,
00
pm
on
sunday
and
it
runs
about
an
hour.
It
starts
there
and
then
it
will
go
over
to
ariel's
park
and
it
is
uh
run
by
veterans
and
it's
the
candlelight
ceremony,
honoring
gold,
star
families.
Oh.
A
B
B
A
B
B
It
yet
but
yeah
the
governor
coming
here,
along
with
the
speaker
of
the
house
and
everybody
else
who
was
here.
We
had
representative
koster
here
and
representative
uh
chris
that
vala
and
then
uh
sprouse
was
here
as
well,
the
speaker
of
the
house,
and
so
we
had
a
little
drama
trying
to
get
it
because
that
fog
yesterday
uh
he
couldn't
land
the
plane
yeah.
B
So
it
was
going
to
be
at
nine
o'clock
and
then
at
least
they
had
done
the
press
release.
So
we
could
promote
it,
the
best
we
could
in
social
media
and
uh
but
it
ended
up
taking
place
at
noon.
Yeah
and
the
governor
came
in
and
he
was
he
was
bragging
about
the
city
of
oldsmar
and
the
work
that's
being
done
here
in
the
area
of
sustainability
and
he
talked
about
a
few
other
items.
But
I
would
encourage
you
to
go.
Look
at
the
news
on
the
item.
I'm
not
sure
do
we.
B
B
On
the
post-
yes,
very
good
yeah,
so
it
was
really
a
proud
moment.
Our
citizens
impromptu
showed
up
yeah.
You
know
those
who
kind
of
saw
the
post
and
were
local
and
could
make
it
over.
There
were
not
who
weren't
at
work
or
tied
up,
um
but
it
was
nice.
You
know
our
our
community
continues
to
be
recognized
for
doing
outstanding
things
and
uh
got
to
take
the
hats
off
to
uh
our
sustainability
coordinator,
ashley
painter
and
the
job
that
she's
doing,
but
the
city
as
a
whole.
So
uh
so
it
was
exciting.
A
B
You
for
liz
all
right,
um
so
the
city
invested
in
a
sustainability
plan,
and
you
know
I'm
going
to
use
the
definition
in
this
particular
case.
How
do
we
protect
the
city
and
our
citizens
for
the
changing
tide
levels
and
what
is
now
expected
to
be
a
higher
risk
for
flooding?
And
that's
really
the
main
focus
on
this
there's
other
parts
of
our
sustainability
plan.
But
this
really
relates
to
that,
and
so,
as
a
city,
you
look
at
it
and
you
look
where
our
water
plant
our
sewage
plants
located.
A
B
B
How
do
we
maintain
that
uh
critical
infrastructure
and
protect
it
and
one
of
the
ways
you
know
we
we've
come
up
with
an
you
know,
a
list
of
assets
that
we
think
we
need
to
invest
in
over
time
and
one
of
the
big
ones
is.
We
have
a
control
room
out
there
that
is
in
need
of
being
updated
to
begin
with,
but
we're
we're
going
to
rebuild
it
and
we're
building
it
up
yeah,
you
know
so
we're
elevating
it
and
it's
like
a
four
million
dollar
project
somewhere
right
now.
B
A
Yeah
and
then
one
other
comment
from
sean
swagger
uh
I
enjoyed
the
live
broadcast.
It
was
up
until
1am
or
whatever
time
it
was
lol
great
meeting,
and
I
commend
everyone
and
all
the
citizens
who
spoke
on
such
an
important
topic.
Regarding
density
as
mr
buse
and
vice
mayor
knapp
mentioned,
the
small
town
comment
was
made
many
times
by
the
residents
on
both
sides.
A
In
my
opinion,
the
definition
of
small
town
is
not
necessarily
the
size
of
the
building
in
buildings
in
the
city,
but
yet
the
people
who
make
up
the
city
most
residents
would
do
anything
to
help
one
another
in
oldsmar
and
that's
what
makes
it
a
small
town
looking
forward
to
the
progress
human
council
have
been
working
tirelessly
on
developing
downtown
oldsmar.
Well,.
B
A
B
Got
those
babies
and
all
I
understand,
uh
yeah,
you
know,
and
I
couldn't
agree
with
the
morning.
It
was
a
good
point
that
vice
mayor
made,
you
know
what
defines
a
small
town
really,
and
it
was
kind
of
interesting
because-
and
I
said
this
to
amber
later
when
I
got
home
and
pretty
much
everyone's
comment
or
things
that
you
maybe
have
heard
before
or
you've
thought
of.
Why
you're
going
through
your
own
due
diligence,
and
I
think
the
vice
mayor
really
made
a
good
point.
B
What
defines
a
small
town
you
know
when
you
hear
about
the
uh
proposal,
that's
coming,
because
we
don't
have
the
finite
details,
it's
fair
to
speculate.
Oh,
it
might
mean
this.
It
might
mean
that
right
yeah,
but
I
asked
a
question
that
how
many
new
residents
do
they
expect
to
live
have
living
there.
A
B
It's
around
400
right,
and
so
I
I
don't
throw
that
number
out,
because
I
want
to
see
the
final
sure.
So
you
know
don't
hold
me
to
that,
but
that
that's
a
good
question
to
ask.
You
know
we
grew
about
like
500
people
last
year
yeah,
you
know
I
mean
it's
happening
everywhere,
it's
going
to
happen
and
and
I'm
not
getting
back
into
that
whole
discussion,
but
the
bigger
point
is
we
still
help
each
other
ginger
made
a
really
good
point.
She
said
you
guys
are
my
friends.
B
B
All
right:
well,
we
went
a
little
bit
long,
but
guess
what
I'm
out
of
coffee?
Oh
me,
too.
Okay,
it's
gatorade
this
morning,
okay,
but
listen!
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
tuning
in
and
once
again
thank
everyone
who
came
out
last
night.
I
think
it's
really
important
and
uh
listen
have
a
great
day
and
happy
holidays.
