A

tampa
bay

beautiful,
downtown
oldsmar.

ultima

seidel,

segments

wednesday
following
an
old,
smart
city
council
meeting
for
the
community
good

mayor

A
Wonderful

Regarding
anything
we
discussed
today,
coffee
with
the
mayor
was
developed
by
you
to
keep
our
residents,
businesses
and
community
partners
informed
on
highlights
from
last
night's
council
meeting.
So
were
there
any
interesting
comments
during
citizens
open
forum.
B
B
A
B
Did
pass
and
it's
its
final
reading
so
it'll
take
effect.
I
actually
signed
it
last
night
after
the
meeting
and
so
to
explain
that
a
little
bit
I
know
we've
talked
about
it
before,
but
it's
really
important
fema,
as
most
people
know,
comes
out
with
new
flood
plain
areas:
new
flood
zones
every
year
and
they
update
it
not
every
year.
Excuse
me
every
so
many
years
and
they've
just
gone
through
that
process
and,
as
you
know,
we're
a
coastal
community.
A
Got
it
so
the
I
know
the
city
attorney
presented
a
new
resolution
to
amend
resolution
96-26
to
allow
for
two
ex-officio
team
members
to
serve
on
the
veterans,
advisory
board
and
ordinance
and
charter
review
committees
and
any
future
committees
as
deemed
by
city
council.
So
why
is
this
important
for
teen
residents
to
serve
on
these
boards
and
committees?
Well,.
B
We
see
it
almost
as
a
feeder
right,
I
mean
an
opportunity
to
get
teenagers
involved
in
their
local
government,
but
also
in
their
community.
It's
been
a
real
success
on
the
leisure
services
board
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
success
on
these
committees
as
well.
It's
funny
because
we
actually
have
one
of
our
teen
volunteers
who
serves
on
multiple
committees,
so
it
it's
an
opportunity
to
expand
that
and
we'll
think
we
think
it's
going
to
be
real
positive
sounds.
A
Good
well,
I
know.
Over
the
past
few
months,
juvenile
bicycle
activity
has
been
reported
on
old,
smart
streets
over
concerns
of
reckless
operation,
lack
of
helmets
and
required
bicycle
lights
at
night.
I
know,
teens
have
been
seen
recklessly
operating
their
vehicles
by
traveling
in
the
wrong
lane,
directly
in
front
of
motor
vehicles
and
other
infractions.
B
B
We
we've
run
into
this
issue
and
it's
apparently
a
national
issue
going
on
because
of
videos
on
tick
tock
and
which,
by
the
way,
is
not
grandfather,
clock,
tick,
tock.
For
those
of
you
who
are
older,
they
were
teasing
me
last
night.
I
think
andrew
commence.
Councilmember
knapp
asked
me
if
I
knew
what
it
meant,
but
so
it's
it's
where
kids,
they
pop
a
wheelie
and
they
ride
quite
a
bit
and
they
do
this
chicken
on
to
oncoming
traffic,
and
so
it's
been
kind
of
a
grow.
B
It's
been
a
growing
issue
here
and
so
we've
we've
looked
at
a
couple
of
different
ways
to
address
it,
and
the
deputies
came
back
with
some
research
that
they
did
on
what
some
other
cities
have
done,
ordinance-wise,
and
so
we
discussed
it
and
here's
the
outcome
they're
going
to
come
back
with
an
ordinance
that
essentially
is
going
to
do
this.
It's
going
to
give
our
deputies
another
option
other
than
writing
a
citation
to
the
teenager.
B
To
the
kid
on
the
bike
right
because
here's,
the
problem,
we
love
having
kids
out
riding
their
bikes,
sure
yeah
I
mean
we
don't
want
to
kill
that.
I
mean
that's,
you
know,
that's
what
you'd
like
him
to
be,
but
the
deputies
essentially
have
a
couple
options:
they
can
write
a
ticket
for
a
civil
citation
which
is
essentially
just
a
fine,
but
still,
I
think,
like
it
starts
at
115
dollars
somewhere
around
there,
but
they
also.
B
B
Yeah,
and
so
it's
a
higher
ticket
but
more
troubling,
is
that
it
follows
them.
It
actually
gets
follows
the
the
kid
in
terms
of
you
know
getting
in
trouble,
and
so
we
don't
want
that.
You
know
we
that
seems
pretty
extreme
sure,
and
so
this
other
option
that
we're
discussing
and
mind
you.
The
ordinance
hasn't
come
back,
we
just
discussed
it
last
night
and
but
essentially
what
it
would
do
is
it
would
give
the
deputy
deputy
another
option
which
would
be
to
confiscate
the
kid's
bike.
Oh
my
goodness
and
say:
listen.
B
B
Look
wait.
What
do
you
mean
you're
going
to
take
my
bike,
and
so
that's
the
essence
of
it,
so
the
deputy
would
have
the
ability
to
confiscate
the
bike
and
the
parent
would
have
to
come.
We've
had
an
issue
once
or
twice
as
I
understand
it
second
hand
that
you
know
when
the
parent
was
contacted.
The
parent
was
wasn't
convinced
that
it
was
their
kid
who
was
doing
it
right
because,
there's
you
know
multiple
kids,
there
sure,
and
so
this
is
an
alternative
to
writing
a
citation.
B
B
B
It
would
come
back
to
the
council
and
would
go
through
the
normal
ordinance
process
where
there's
two
readings
of
it.
We
take
public
comment
and
I
would
encourage
any
parents
who
have
concerns
about
this
when,
when
it's
posted
come
on
out
by
the
way
you
know
you
could
sign
up
for
those
notifications
on
our
website
so
that
you
can
always
be
in
the
loop
whenever
an
agenda
posts
or
something
along
that
line,
you
get
an
automatic
email.
It's
it's
really.
It's
it's
easy
to
stay,
engaged
and
see.
B
B
A
B
The
agreement
was
approved
and
it's
it's
something
that
all
cities
here
in
pinellas
county
who
have
used
the
pinellas
county
building
department
services
for
plan
review
are
being
impacted
by
so
as
those
who
have
gone
through
the
process.
Before
know
that
we
have
a
inspector,
a
review
person
really
here
on
site.
They
come
a
few
days
a
week
from
pinellas
county,
and
they
you
bring
your
plans
and
that's
part
of
the
process.
We
do
the
intake.
B
There
are
certain
things
that
we
handle
as
a
city
and
then
the
county
will
review
the
plans,
along
with
the
inspection
part
out
in
the
field,
and
so
what
pinellas
county
has
decided
to
do
because
they're
providing
that
service
to
multiple
cities,
they've
made
the
decision
that
they're
bringing
it
all
back
in
house.
Oh.
A
B
B
Our
city
manager
was
bright
to
negotiate
us
getting
a
later
start,
so
we're
hearing
what
bugs
they
have
with
the
process.
Smart,
smart,
our
good
neighbors
and
safety
harvard
are
out
there
already
and
they're
they're
they're,
paying
new,
paving
new
paths,
but
so
we're
we're
gonna
be
working
through
that
process.
It's
probably
going
to
be
a
little
bit
bumpy
out
of
the
gates.
I
would
assume,
but
you
know
we're
committed
to
make
it
work
smoothly,
and
so
that
effect
that
did
pass.
B
A
A
A
B
Well,
some
of
you
might
remember
an
item
that
was
on
the
agenda.
That
was
a
lot
of
interest
to
folks
was
our
ordinance
review
committee
had
originally
made
a
proposal
that
we
increased
the
compensation
for
council
members
and
the
mayor
I'll
kind
of
go
through
the
process
on
it,
real
quick.
They
made
that
recommendation.
B
Originally,
the
council
made
a
decision
on
a
consensus.
Based
is
not
to
take
any
action
on
that
recommendation,
however,
later,
which
is
it's
appropriate
if
somebody
wishes
to
it
was,
you
know,
moved
to
reconsidered
and
brought
back
up.
We
kind
of
went
to
that
debate
a
meeting
ago
whether
or
not
it
was
something
we
wanted
to
pursue.
B
I
think
the
council
felt
like
the
recommendation,
was
a
pretty
substantial
jump
and
what
was
being
proposed.
So
there
was
a
couple
alternatives
that
were
proposed
both
failed.
We
had
some
discussion
and
at
the
last
meeting
we
talked
about
making
it
a
referendum
and
saying
because
there's
a
concern
about
the
perception
of
voting
on
increasing
your
own
pay
yeah,
and
just
so
you
know,
you
know
had
it
passed,
which
it
did
not
if
the
current
council
by
our
charter
they're
not
able
to
participate
in
that
pay
increase.
B
However,
they
are,
if
they're,
if
they
run
and
get
reelected
in
the
future
or
that
kind
of
thing,
and
because
it's
that's
occurred
in
the
past,
because
essentially
they're
considered
a
new
council
at
that
point
right,
but
the
council
right
now
that
was
voting
on
it.
They
wouldn't
participate
in
it
per
se.
So
anyhow
was
put
back
on
the
agenda.
Councilmember
ghana
put
on
the
agenda
discuss
as
a
possible
referendum.
B
B
You
know
I
don't
expect
that's
likely
to
happen,
but
it
was
a
good,
healthy
discussion
and
you
know
the
concern
being
whether
or
not
there's
been
any
changes
in
that
compensation
over
the
last
15
years,
which
there
hasn't
been,
but
that's
pretty
common
for
local
government
that
it
their
elected
officials
are
just
you
know,
it's
not.
It's
not
considered
a
job.
You
do
for
compensation,
so
the
council's
outcome
on
that
last
night
was
that
we
took
no
action.
Okay,
essentially
it
dives
there
got
it.
B
I
do
have
a
couple
other
things
before
we
get
talking
to
our
guests.
I
just
wanted
to
mention,
of
course.
Sadly,
it's
hurricane
season.
Yes,
it
is
that's
unfortunate,
so
I'd
encourage
everybody
to
if
you
haven't
already
get
hooked
up
with
alert
pinellas
right,
so
you
can
go
and
google
that
it's
the
hurricane
alerts
and
all
kinds
of
alerts,
it's
good
information.
It
goes
right
to
your
phone
and
so
what
we
encourage
our
citizens
to
do
that,
it's
been
very
effective
for
us
in
the
past.
We
want
to
make
sure
everyone's
got
that
information
and.
B
B
B
B
B
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
being
a
partner
of
provision.
This
is
our
sixth
year
teaming
up
along
with
the
upper
tampa
bay,
regional
chamber
of
commerce,
where
we'll
do
a
month,
long
drive,
collecting
brand
new
socks,
brand
new
underwear,
toiletries
canned
goods,
non-perishable
food
items,
walmart
gift
cards.
C
We
have
21
different
locations
throughout
the
oldsmar
footprint
businesses,
where
you
can
drop
off
your
items,
and
it's
really
neat,
because
not
only
do
we
get
the
community
together
the
business
together,
and
I
just
believe
that
everyone
always
wants
to
help.
They
just
don't
know
how
to
do
so.
So
this
gives
them
a
little
nudge
in
a
in
a.
B
Yeah,
I
mean
it's
a
great
way.
All
of
our
citizens
seem
to
respond
and
I'll
tell
you
for
oldsmar
cares
who's,
the
better
factor.
Of
course
they
place
such
a
critical
role
here
for
us
in
oldsmar,
and
goodness
knows,
we
learned
it
much
greater
than
ever
this
past
year
with
the
pandemic,
and
this
is
by
far
one
of
their
biggest
events
that
supplies
them,
and
so
it's
really
really
important
to
participate
and
so
to
go,
find
those
locations
where's
the
place
best
place
to
go.
It
would.
C
B
B
C
Yes
well,
first
of
all,
this
is
a
month-long
drive
which
go
started
yesterday
and
it
goes
until
june
26th
and
that's
when
the
actual
pop
drop
at
oldsmar
cares
is,
is
saturday
june
26th,
the
saturday
before
that
is
june.
19Th
we'll
have
the
chamber
pop
drop
truck
located
right
in
front
of
the
walmart
from
10
a.m
until
3
p.m.
