proposed
operational
budget
of
fiscal
year
2324

August
8th.
It
is
6
p.m
and
I'm
calling
this
meeting
the
order.
Our
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
our
invocation
and
our
pledge
allegiance
will
be
led
by
our
city

Felicia
Donnelly,

rise.
B
Good

the
bonds

community
Phyllis,
with
your
grace
as
we
make
decisions
that
might
affect
the
residents
of
the
city
of
Oldsmar
continue
to
remind
us
what
we
have
to
do
here
today.
B
A
C
I
just
found
out
how
to
shorten
my
my
speech:
hi
pseudogantas,
cologne,
402,
Arlington,
Avenue,
East,
Oldsmar,
Florida
I'm,
the
director
of
the
city
of
oldsmar's,
opal,
theater
program
and
Miss
suit,
as
dancers.
So
I'd
just
like
to
remind
everybody
that
masuda's
dancers
recital
for
our
summer,
showcase,
which
is
called
Jazz
hot
summer,
is
coming
up
on
August
19th
down
at
Ariel's
Park
and
also
our
24
students
in
Opel.
C
Theater
are
excitedly
practicing
on
Peter
Pan
Jr,
which
will
be
coming
up
on
October
14th
down
at
Ari
olds,
Park,
and
that
helps
shorten
my
three
minutes.
My
four
minutes
down
to
three.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
we
hope
the
community
and
you
all
will
come

H
J
I
I
D
A
K
Street
address
for
downstairs,
7716,
brettonwood,
Drive
and
I
gotta.
Tell
you
for
this
year.
For
the
first
time,
we've
got
this
application
that
we
filled
out
for
our
request.
I
got
to
tell
you
I,
think
that's
really
great,
because
it
helps
get
everything
codified
on
paper
and
makes
it
real
clear.
We're
doing
the
same
thing
that
we
have
been
doing
for
the
last
16
years.
K
A
A
I
A
B
We
are
thrilled
to
present
to
you
the
proposed
budget
for
the
fiscal
year
23-24.
throughout
this
presentation,
we'll
focus
on
the
budget's
highlights
and
provide
a
detailed
explanation
of
the
city's
Financial
plans.
I
must
commend
the
department,
heads
and
the
diligent
efforts
of
our
administrative
Services
team
who
work
tirelessly
to
bring
this
comprehensive
proposal
to
fruition,
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
introduce
to
introduce
our
team
so
Jennifer
Campbell.
B
So
if
you
guys
could
say,
give
a
wave
John,
dauphiney,
Amy,
Ratliff,
Garrett,
zeliff,
chief
schwabi
Daniel,
Simpson
chip,
Potts
Michelle,
Kutch,
Tatiana,
Childress,
Chris
city
clerk,
Kristen,
Garcia,
Kathy,
Horvath
and
I
want
to
do
a
shout
out
also
to
and
express
my
gratitude
to
Barbara
Schulte,
who
put
together
the
actual
physical
document
and
to
Jordan
Lance
who
worked
tirelessly
and
for
a
long
time
on
actual
the
presentation.
So
so
thank
you
and
we're
so
proud
to
present
this
proposed
annual
budget.
B
And
if
you
have
any
questions
along
the
way,
please
don't
hesitate
to
ask
as
we
go
so
this
year.
Every
year
we
pick
a
theme.
So
this
year
we
developed
a
theme
for
the
new
fiscal
year
budget
and
then
with
a
vibrant
new
city
logo
being
recently
adopted
by
you
all.
It
only
made
sense
to
carry
out
the
theme
of
fun
and
creativity
by
showcasing
over
400
pieces
of
art
created
by
children
at
Oldsmar
Elementary
in
Forest,
Lakes
Elementary
Schools.
So
we
hope
you
enjoy
the
the
actual
graphic
presentation
of
the
document.
A
B
Okay,
so
let's,
let's
start
talking
about
the
budget
process,
the
budget
process
includes
four
broad
faces:
preparation,
city,
council
review,
adoption,
implementation
and
evaluation.
It's
really
a
year-long
process,
the
Departments
begin
working
on
their
budgets
around
January
1st
each
year
and
they
submit
their
capital
and
their
operating
budget
requests
for
evaluation.
We
have
a
series
of
budget
meetings
that
are
held
in
the
spring.
During
this
time,
staff
is
busy
preparing
various
estimates
and
projections
based
on
multiple
steps
of
assumptions.
B
Oversimplified
a
balanced
budget
is
presented
to
the
council.
In
mid-july.
The
council
adopts
the
proposed
millage
rate
kicking
off
the
trim
process.
This
brings
us
today
the
Council
budget
work
session.
Any
changes
resulting
from
this
meeting
will
be
incorporated
into
the
budget
submitted
for
the
first
budget
hearing
to
be
held
on
September
5th
prior
to
the
second
budget
hearing
the
budget
ad
is
published
in
the
newspaper.
B
Yes,
the
newspaper
three
to
five
days
prior
to
the
second
budget
hearing
to
be
held
on
September
the
20th.
If
all
goes
as
planned,
the
fiscal
year
24
budget
will
be
adopted
as
of
10
1
2023.,
as
the
budget
is
year
round.
This
October
we
begin
for
fy25
this
year.
The
process
will
begin
with
a
community
visioning
session
to
help
Council
update
this
current
vision
and
Mission
and
set
upcoming
priorities
for
the
next
couple
years.
B
This
is
tentatively
scheduled
for
October
4th.
This
will
be
followed
by
a
council
work
session.
We
have
procured
the
assistance
of
a
consultant
strategic
government
resources
for
this
effort,
so
you'll
find
some
significant
budget
presentation
changes.
So
the
first
one
is
that
we've
included
the
current
strategic
plan.
B
B
B
Inflationary
concerns
all
over
the
place,
competitive
Workforce
to
maintain
one,
that's
important
and
then
so
an
uncertain
economy
that
really
just
equated
to
a
fiscally
conservative
approach
to
the
budget
to
really
ensure
the
city's
Financial
solvency
into
the
next
few
years
and
the
future
so
inflation.
How
did
it
hit
the
city
well,
the
same
way
that
it
hit
people
at
home
just
exponentially
right?
We
purchased
more
goods
and
services,
so
Vehicles
fuel
General
supplies.
Our
property
insurance
is
estimated
to
increase
by
80
percent
design
and
construction
services,
labor
contractual
Services
all
across
the
board.
B
Maintaining
a
competitive,
Workforce,
extremely
important
in
today's
environment,
so
the
compensation
classification
and
benefit
study
was
completed
in
2023.
You
all
voted
for
the
new
pay
plan.
Just
recently,
we
put
in
a
lot
of
those
in
effect
for
July
1st,
but
it
doesn't
stop
there.
This
year,
budget
includes
a
four
percent
cost
of
living
adjustment
and
up
to
two
percent
Merit
increases
across
the
staff
that
doesn't
include
collective
bargaining
units
such
as
will
fire.
The
city
increased
its
contribution
toward
dependent
medical
insurance
to
be
competitive
with
our
peers
and
also
to
be
competitive.
B
So
just
a
your
strategic
goals,
there's
seven
strategic
goals.
They
were
adopted
in
2013
and
they're
set
to
expire.
So
that
is
why
strategy
strategic
government
resources
is
coming
in
to
facilitate
that
to
update
these.
So
the
first
one
is
economic
development,
infrastructure,
public
relations,
quality
of
place,
sustainability,
transportation
and
Workforce
Development.
B
So
on
May
17
2022,
you
all
adopted
city
council
priorities
for
last
year
and
this
year
right
priorities
often
take
multiple
years.
So
the
first
priority
is
to
build
the
downtown
corridor,
enhance
roadway
safety,
including
safe
routes
to
schools,
execute
Oldsmar,
Sports,
Complex
improvements,
expand
Community
engagement,
maintain
existing
infrastructure
renovate
and
upgrade
Harbor
Palms
infrastructure
and
update
the
comprehensive
plan.
We
have
made
progress
in
each
of
these,
but
there's
still
work
to
do.
B
Also,
every
good
budget
has
a
basis
of
a
of
a
of
good
policies
that
have
been
adopted,
so
certain
policies
have
been
established
to
help
ensure
that
we're
a
good
Steward
of
public
assets,
and
these
include
but
they're
not
limited
too.
This
is
just
a
capture
of
the
major
ones:
maintenance
of
infrastructure
and
Equipment.
Also
a
council
priority.
B
B
That
really
is
that
I
can't
create
new
or
higher
additional
positions
that
haven't
been
approved
by
Council
right.
That's
a
separation
of
Duties
between
a
council
and
a
city
manager
periodic
review
rate
schedules.
As
you
all
know,
we've
been
updating
our
rate
schedule,
so
we
recently
updated
the
planning
fees.
We
recently
updated
water
sewer
rates,
we're
going
to
continue
updating
our
rates
as
appropriate
and
to
to
maintain
the
cost
of
the
system.
B
So
we're
going
to
talk
later
on
about
a
storm
water
rate
increase
and
we're
looking
at
our
impact
fees,
which
haven't
been
increased
in
a
long
time.
Other
administrative
policies,
including
accounting
policies,
investment
policies,
debt
management
policies,
so
the
city's
done
a
very
diligent
job
in
making
sure
that
our
financial
policies
are
in
place
so
that
we
can
provide
good
stewards
of
the
tax
money
and
other
funding
so
before
I
turn.
It
over
I
also
wanted
to
thank
Cindy.
No,
the
director
of
administrative
Services.
B
M
F
M
Before
I
get
started
and
I
will
get
rolling
here
in
a
minute,
just
a
quick
note
that
our
accounting
administrator,
Amy,
Ratliff
and
I
are
going
to
be
attempting
to
fill
the
shoes
of
Cindy
Nino,
your
director
of
administrative
Services,
who
isn't
able
to
be
here
tonight.
As
Felicia
mentioned,
and
as
you
know,
that's
a
high
bar.
L
M
M
M
That
is
a
decrease
of
13
million
seven
hundred
thirty
three
thousand
four
hundred
and
fifty
five
dollars
from
last
year's
revised
budget.
I'm
not
going
to
do
this
for
every
number.
I
promise,
I
won't
read
them
all
out
loud
once
again,
you'll
see
the
millage
rate
has
not
changed.
That
is
the
16th
year
in
a
row.
It
will
be
4.05
mils
and
in
fact
the
millage
rate
has
not
changed
and
has
not
increased
in
34
years,
and
if
we
do
a
little
rounding
because
I
am
the
finance
guy.
L
M
The
city's
taxable
property
values
are
anticipated
to
increase
8.82
percent
Which
is
less
than
expected
and
kind
of
amongst
the
lowest
in
the
county
for
the
property
appraiser.
It
is
important
to
note
that
this
number
includes
a
reduction
in
the
tangible
personal
property
which
is
partially
the
result
of
a
reduction
in
utilization
of
office
space,
as
we've
seen,
everybody
go
to
remote
work
and
thus
the
reduction,
a
reduction
in
the
value
of
business
equipment,
so
real
property
values,
increase
10.84
percent
and
tangible
personal
property
or
TPP
decreased
2.55
percent.
M
So
that
gets
you
to
your
8.82
percent
and
to
me
anyway.
This
really
illustrates
the
impact
and
the
important
value
of
the
city's
diverse
business
Community,
because
that,
obviously
those
businesses
have
an
impact
on
our
taxable
value
here
and
finally,
as
a
big
part
of
our
fiscally
conservative
approach
to
the
city's
budget.
This
year
we
have
budgeted
new
new
debt
underlying
because
I
really
like
that
bullet
point.
M
Looking
at
the
pie
chart
on
your
left
expenditures
by
fund,
you
see
that
as
a
percentage
of
city-wide
budget
general
fund
makes
up,
36
percent
water
sewer
fund
makes
up
35
percent
Solid,
Waste
fund,
six
percent,
storm
water,
four
percent,
Capital
Improvement,
13,
CRA,
5
and
other
funds.
One
percent
interesting
to
me
about
this
chart
is,
if
you
look,
the
water
sewer
fund,
stormwater
fund
and
solid
waste
fund
combined,
which
collectively
represent
the
city's
Enterprise
or
business
type
funds,
represent
45
percent
of
the
total
cities
budget.
M
And
if
you
move
over
to
the
pie
chart
on
the
right,
you
can
see
that
30
percent
of
the
budget
is
allocated
to
personal
services
or
to
in
the
cost
of
employees.
26
is
allocated
to
operating
costs,
32
percent
to
Capital
outlay,
which
are
items
that
cost
more
than
two
thousand
dollars
and
have
a
useful
life
of
longer
than
one
year.
M
The
creation
of
a
new
Public
Works
administrator
position
in
the
public
works
department,
with
50
of
the
cost
of
that
position
allocated
to
the
general
fund
and
50
allocated
to
the
stormwater
Utility
Fund,
the
elimination
of
the
fleet
supervisor
position
in
general
fund,
the
downgrade
of
two
maintenance
operator
positions
in
the
Parks
and
Recreations
department
to
facilities
attendance.
One
of
those
is
in
the
Parks
Division
and
one
is
in
the
osc
OR
Oldsmar
Sports
Complex
division.
M
We
also
have
the
elimination
of
one
part-time
receptionist
position
in
the
administrative
Services
Department
and
the
effective
transfer
of
that
position
to
a
part-time
customer
service
clerk
in
the
water
sewer
fund,
the
utility
billing
division.
Specifically,
it
will
also
be
splitting
the
director
of
planning
and
Redevelopment
salary
and
benefits
to
be
50
in
the
general
fund,
not
by
cutting
poor
Tatiana
in
half,
but
by
allocating
the
other
50
of
her
personal
services
to
the
CRA
as
an
allowable
expense
of
CRA
funds.
M
So
here's
the
Citywide
Personnel
summary
and
we
can
see
if
you
look
at
the
chart,
there
is
no
increase
in
authorized
positions
for
fiscal
24..
Again
part
of
that
conservative
approach
to
budgeting
for
this
year
due
to
the
uncertainty
in
the
macroeconomic
environment,
General
funds
FTE
count
is
being
reduced
by
1.5
employees
for
fiscal
24..
The
CRA
is
increased
by
0.5.
M
M
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
Douglas
Road
widening
project
was
budgeted
in
fiscal
year,
23,
so
the
current
fiscal
year,
and
it
is
not
included
in
the
proposed
budget
document
that
you
all
reviewed
in
that
we're
looking
at
tonight.
We
have
learned
that,
due
to
unanticipated
delays,
we're
going
to
need
to
re-budget
that
project
in
fiscal
24.,
so
you'll
see
that
adjustment
submitted
as
part
of
the
changes
between
the
proposed
budget.
M
Okay,
so
debt
as
discussed,
we're,
not
budgeting
any
new
debt
in
fiscal
24
and
the
city
has
two
current
debt
issues
which
you
can
see
here.
The
first
is
for
the
harbor
Palms
infrastructure
improvements
project,
and
it
contains
both
governmental
for
the
streets
and
sidewalks
and
Enterprise
for
stormwater
portion
of
the
project
debt.
It
has
a
favorable
interest
rate
of
1.93
percent
and
it
matures
in
2033.
M
In
addition
to
these
two
debt
issues,
you'll
see
a
page
in
the
budget
document
dedicated
to
the
Veterans
Memorial
Park
debt.
Since
the
last
installment
on
that
debt
was
paid
off
in
October
of
2022,
no
money
is
presented
in
fiscal
24,
and
this
page
is
presented
just
for
historical
reporting
purposes.
M
Looking
at
the
right
column,
here
we
can
see
total
budgeted.
Debt
Service
for
fiscal
24
is
just
over
a
million
dollars
and
as
anyone
who's
shopping
for
a
house
or
a
car
knows,
this
increase
in
interest
rates
has
had
a
dramatic
impact
on
the
cost
of
financing,
so
especially
in
the
current
macro
economic
environment.
With
these
increased
rates,
the
city
is
benefiting
from
our
predilection
towards
saving
for
future
capital
projects,
rather
than
debt
funding
whenever
possible.
M
All
right
so
before
we
take
a
deeper
dive
into
the
numbers,
I'd
like
to
explain
the
different
types
of
funds
presented
in
the
budget
and
just
quickly
review
their
purpose.
Broadly,
we
have
two
types
of
funds:
they're,
the
governmental
funds
and
the
proprietary
funds.
Proprietary
funds
are
also
called
Enterprise
or
business
type
activities.
M
The
general
fund
is
generally
supported
by
tax
revenues,
intergovernmental
revenues
and
user
fees
such
as
those
for
Parks
and
Recreation
classes.
This
fund
provides
for
what
can
be
considered.
Traditional
government
services,
such
as
executive
management,
Human,
Resources,
Public,
Safety
Etc
and
the
budget
for
general
fund
for
fiscal
24
is
18
million.
Seventy
one
thousand
fifty
five
dollars,
which
is
an
increase
of
436
000
or
2.5
percent
from
fiscal
23..
M
M
Three
of
these
funds
exist
primarily
to
collect
these
impact
fees
and
to
record
the
approved
disbursement
of
resources
for
those
Capital
expansion
projects.
The
fourth
that
you
see
through
the
CRA
fund,
the
community
redevelopment
agency
fund,
also
is
a
governmental,
special
Revenue
fund
and
it
exists
to
record
the
revenues
and
expenditures
related
to
the
community
redevelopment
area.
M
And
then
we
have
some
governmental,
Debt,
Service
funds
or
Sinking
funds.
These
funds
are
created
to
accumulate
the
resources
needed
to
service
governmental
debt.
These
requirements
are
also
often
in
the
issuing
documents
of
the
debt
and
spelled
out
in
our
debt
Covenants.
Currently
we
have
one
active
Debt
Service
fund
for
the
governmental
portion
of
the
harbor
Palms
infrastructure,
Improvement
project
and
one
inactive
Debt
Service
fund
for
the
Veterans
Memorial
Park
project,
which,
as
we've
talked
about,
was
paid
off
in
October.
M
M
Large
capital
projects
are
budgeted
in
this
fund
to
help
limit
the
fluctuations
of
the
budget
in
the
general
fund
and
remove
the
Distortion
of
year-over-year
comparisons
that
would
exist
if
these
large
capital
projects
were
budgeted
in
the
general
fund.
It
would
make
it
really
hard
to
tell
what
the
budget
in
general
fund
looked
like
if
it
was
moving
up
and
down
with
the
pace
of
these
large
projects
every
year.
The
projects
in
this
fund
have
specific
and
frequently
complex
funding
mechanisms
involving
multiple
grants,
penny
for
Pinellas
and
sometimes
debt.
M
Oh,
what
a
great
segue
to
Enterprise
funds.
Finally,
we
have
the
city's
proprietary
business
type
and
Enterprise
funds.
These
funds
are
self-supporting
and
operated
in
the
same
manner
as
a
business
and
are
supported
primarily
by
user
fees.
The
city
has
four
of
them
and
are
all
funded
by
revenues
received
from
your
utility
bill,
namely
the
water
sewer
operating
fund,
the
water
sewer
impact
fund,
the
stormwater
Utility
Fund
and
the
solid
waste
fund.
I
like
to
note
here
that
these
funds
are
not
supported
by
tax
revenues.
M
All
right,
so
the
next
few
slides
will
provide
a
city-wide
overview
of
all
funds
for
the
fiscal
24
budget.
As
we
discussed
earlier,
we're
presenting
a
balanced
budget
of
50
million
dollars
for
fiscal
24
with
the
Enterprise
funds
representing
45
percent
of
the
budget
and
the
governmental
funds
representing
the
remaining
55
percent.
M
M
So
make
sure
I'm
on
the
right
slide
here,
yep.
Looking
at
this
information.
Historically,
we
can
see
Personnel
Services
are
up
8.1
percent
due
to
the
six
percent
pay
increases,
the
results
of
the
classification
compensation
study
and
the
increase
to
dependent
medical
insurance.
Citywide
operating
expenditures
are
also
up
about
4.6
percent,
and
that
represents
a
concerted
effort
by
staff
to
hold
down
costs
as
much
as
possible.
In
light
of
these
inflationary
pressures,
Capital
costs
are
down.
45.6
percent.
M
reserves
are
up,
65
percent
city-wide,
and
much
of
that
deviation
is
cyclical
and
based
on
our
saving
for
future
capital
projects,
in
particular.
We're
going
to
be
saving
penny
for
Pinellas
proceeds
in
accordance
with
the
city's
intent
to
avoid
debt
whenever
possible
and
again
you'll
see
the
overall
Citywide
budget
is
down.
Yes,
it's
17.4
percent.
M
L
M
M
Intergovernmental
revenue
is
down
28
due
to
the
time
of
Grants
and
capital
projects,
and
that
will
increase
again
with
the
Douglas
rebudgeting.
Charges
for
services
are
up
1.9
percent
and
that's
revenues
from
your
utility
bills,
from
your
Recreation
program
fees
and
fees
that
relate
to
some
planning
services.
M
Fire
excuse
me.
Fines
and
forfeiture
revenue
is
expected
to
remain
flat.
Miscellaneous
revenues
expected
to
increase
62.8
percent.
This
category
includes
investment
earnings,
administrative
costs,
allocations
from
Enterprise
funds
for
governmental
services,
like
human
resources
that
are
paid
for
out
of
the
general
fund.
M
Transfers
are
down
32.5
due
to
the
suspension
of
the
public
safety
impact
fund
transfer
and
a
property
Reserve
or
use
of
Prior
year.
Funds
is
down
due
to
a
significant
number
of
Po
carryovers
in
the
prior
year
in
the
capital
Improvement
fund
and
the
water
sewer
operating
fund,
including
for
those
projects
like
Harbor,
Palms,
Baltimore,
Trail,
phase
six
and
the
re-aeration
system.
Improvements
at
the
wrf.
M
Okay,
so
on
the
next
couple,
slides
we'll
run
through
some
of
the
more
significant
sources
in
each
of
those
General
Revenue
categories,
kind
of
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
as
to
exactly
what's
rolled
up
in
that
in
each
category,
and
so
we've
got
ad
valorem
local
option,
insurance
premium,
utility
communication
and
local
business
tax
receipts
all
rolling
up
into
that
taxes.
Category
that
you
all
saw
on
the
previous
slides
within
ad
valorem.
We
have
real
property
and
TPP,
as
we
talked
about
earlier
and
within
local
option
taxes.
M
M
D
N
O
M
M
M
and
this
expenditure
summary
chart
you
can
see
here-
we've
got
personal
services
represent
58
of
the
fund
operating
represents
32
percent
of
the
fund
expenditures,
Capital
outlays
such
as
vehicles
and
Equipment.
This
doesn't
include
very
large
projects,
but
the
equipment
needed
to
operate
General
government
activities
is
four
percent
transfers.
Two
percent
and
contingency
reserve
four
percent,
or
just
over
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars.
M
Transfers
are
down
due
to
the
suspension
of
the
public
safety
impact
fund
transfer
and
there's
that
three
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
going
out
to
the
harbor
Palms
Debt
Service
fund
reserves
are
up
six
hundred
and
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
from
the
fiscal
23
revised
budget
and
again
this
is
an
intentional
approach
by
staff
to
budget
conservatively
and
prepare
for
continuing
cost
escalations
should
they
arise
next
year.
These
funds
may
be
utilized
during
the
fiscal
year
pending
Council
authorization.
M
Okay,
so
the
other
side,
the
revenue
side
for
general
fund.
We
see
taxes
represent
55
percent
of
revenues,
permits
and
fees;
nine
percent,
intergovernmental
Revenue,
15
percent
charges
for
services,
two
percent
miscellaneous
Revenue,
seven
percent,
appropriate
reserves,
11
and
fines
and
forfeitures.
One
percent.
M
Shown
here
we
can
see,
taxes
are
projected
to
be
up
it's
about
636
000
in
general
fund
or
6.8
percent.
Most
of
this
comes
from
the
growth
in
ad
valorem
taxes
and
that's
about
five
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
dollars
of
that
increase,
and
some
of
that
is
from
the
utility
taxes.
Like
we
talked
about
earlier
communication.
Services
taxes
are
anticipated
to
remain
flat
permits
and
fees
are
up.
Two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
fiscal
24,
representing
an
increase
in
those
Tico
franchise
fees.
M
Intergovernmental
revenue
is
down
133,
000
or
five
percent,
as
anticipated
increases
in
state
shared
revenues
and
half
cent
sales
tax
are
going
to
be
offset
a
little
bit
by
a
decrease
in
arpa
revenues
that
we
used
to
cover
one-time
equipment
purchases
in
Prior
years.
So
we
won't
have
those
in
fiscal
24
going
forward
in
general
fund
and
finally,
miscellaneous
revenue
is
projected
to
increase
and
includes
those
administrative
cost
allocations
from
the
three
Enterprise
funds
to
cover
the
personnel
and
other
administrative
costs
incurred
by
the
general
fund
on
their
behalf.
M
M
Okay,
I'm
excited
to
say
we're
through
the
overview
section
of
the
presentation,
so
our
plan
now
is
to
start
going
into
a
detailed
review
of
each
division's
budget,
starting
with
the
general
fund
and
progressing
through
the
city's
fund
structure.
So
without
further
ado,
I'd
like
to
turn
things
over
to
your
esteems
Charter
official
and
city
clerk,
Kristen
Garcia,
to
kick
us
off
with
the
city
council
division
thanks
guys.
Q
The

more
about
how

highlights
continued,
so
here's
the

that

well.
The

then
we
get
into
the

training
budget
and

for
a
council.
That's
12,
000
total.
Q
Q
Q
And
then,
with
that
we'll
we
will
start
with
the
presentations
and
we'll
go
in
alphabetical
order:
okay,
Catholic
Charities,
Diocese
of
St,
Petersburg
Pinellas,
hope
we
marked
this
application
as
not
completed
as
the
tax
returns
were
not
the
most
recent
tax
returns
that
we
requested.
The
request
is
for
3
500..
They
were
awarded
2
500
last
year
and
there
is
a
representative
here
to
speak.
P
Hello,
my
name
is
Joe
pandolfino
I'm,
the
director
of
Pinellas
hope
with
Catholic,
Charities
and
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
inviting
us
and
the
support
you've
given
us
in
the
past,
and
just
the
fact
that
you
don't
turn
a
blind
eye
to
the
problem
of
homelessness
in
our
County
at
any.
Given
time.
There's
about
26
000,
homeless
people
in
the
state
of
Florida
and
Pinellas
County
has
about
a
tenth
of
them
right
here
and
they're,
spread
out
throughout
the
whole
County.
P
There
was
encampments
tent
cities,
people
all
over
in
the
downtown
area,
and
they
thought
it
was
a
good
idea
to
slash
the
tents
and
get
rid
of
that
problem.
Well,
it
just
created
another
problem,
obviously,
and
it
displaced
a
whole
bunch
of
people
Catholic
Charities
stepped
in,
and
they
started
a
pilot
project
to
just
temporarily
house
these
people
in
tents,
and
it
was
over
in
the
Clearwater
area
that
was
15
years
ago.
So
our
pilot
project
is
still
going
on
right.
P
Now
we
serve
about
over
a
thousand
people
a
year
homeless,
individuals
in
our
shelter,
and
we
have
a
pretty
good
track
record.
We
we
house
successfully
about
50
percent
of
the
people
that
come
through
our
doors,
which
might
not
seem
like
a
lot,
but
I'll
tell
you
that
takes
a
lot
of
work
to
house
that
many
people
in
this
environment,
as
you
know,
rents
have
increased,
housing
has
exploded
and
it's
getting
harder
and
harder
to
House
people.
The
medium
housing
costs
right
now
is
four
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars.
P
Rents
have
gone
up
and
the
amount
of
rental
units
have
gone
down
and
our
county
is
not
getting
any
bigger.
As
in
space,
it's
getting
more
crowded.
We
are.
We
serve
people
of
all
walks
of
life
that
come
here
and
it
really
only
takes
a
perfect
storm
for
anybody
to
end
up
homeless.
What
we're
seeing
now
more
and
more
of
is
elderly
people
that
come
through
our
doors,
I
took
in
17
new
people
today,
and
probably
almost
half
of
them
are
over
60
years
old.
P
I
have
several
people
in
their
80s
I
have
people
in
their
70s
and
it's
just
becoming
harder
and
harder
to
tell
you
the
truth.
We
get
people
who
are
on
a
fixed
income,
making
914
dollars
a
month
and
then
we're
tasked
with
trying
to
find
a
place
for
them
to
go
if
they
have
one
eviction
on
their
record
that
just
confounds
the
problem.
P
P
P
P
I
I
P
Upcoming
year,
yeah
and
that's
true,
I
mean
we're
located
in
the
heart
of
Pinellas,
County
and
Oldsmar
is
over
here
a
little
bit,
so
our
services
are
over
there.
So
we
don't
directly
get
people
automatically
right
for
moldsmar
that's
identified,
but
people
gravitate
over
there
yeah
and
having
our
services
over
there
actually
keep
some
homeless
people
from
coming
over
here,
too
I
think
so
interesting
yeah
I
mean
they
go
where
the
services
are
and
we
have
and
and
that's
where
our
service
is.
P
G
I
If
you
had
to
kind
of
summarize
what
Municipal
purpose
does
your
organization
serve
that
the
phrase
Municipal
purpose
is
really
important
to
me?
That's
the
lawyer
in
me
the
fact
finder
you
know
trying
to
really
boil
it
down,
because
we
have
a
requests
in
an
amount
that
is
double
what
we
have
to
hand
out.
I
P
City
of
Oldsmar
it
takes
a
village.
That's
all
I
can
say
is
that
we
are
part
of
this
solution
here
and
if
we
continue
to
turn
a
blind
eye
to
it,
we
have
we
have
to
work
together,
and
it's
true
that
we
don't
get
a
lot
of
direct
referrals.
Oh
I'm,
an
Olds
Mark
and
I
get
in,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
are
from
this
area.
But
what
we
do
is
when
we
have
people
that
come
into
our
shelter.
We
ask
them
well,
where
did
you
spend
last
night?
P
Q
F
A
J
You
good,
how
are
you
thank
you
for
coming
out?
Absolutely
thank
you
for
having
us.
Thank
you
Council.
My
name
is
Brooke
Bennett
and
I.
Am
the
development
manager
for
cfy
and
we're
thrilled
to
be
here
and
thrilled
to
be
starting
to
expand
within
the
city
of
Oldsmar?
First
I
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
on
cfy.
We
were
established
in
1972..
J
We
are
set
up
very
luckily
that
we
have
an
endowment
so
that
our
Administration
costs
are
covered
so
that
every
dollar
donated
to
cfy
does
support
a
child.
We've
been
recognized
as
a
top
non-profit,
just
actually
new
to
us.
Yesterday,
Terry
Navigator
came
forward
and
gave
us
four
stars
which
is
their
highest
honor,
we're
recognized
by
great
nonprofits
for
two
years
in
a
row
as
a
top
charity
and
guidestar
has
given
us
their
highest
honor
as
Platinum
transparency.
J
To
bring
us
to
the
point
of
why
we're
here
and
why
we've
submitted
our
grant
to
the
city
of
Oldsmar
is
the
expansion
that
we
have.
So
since
22,
we
have
given
nearly
thirteen
thousand
dollars
to
North
Pinellas
youth
football
program
in
athletic
athletic
reimbursement
and
also
equipment
grants
we're
working
with
Parks
and
Rec
to
kind
of
figure
out
under
our
pillar,
where
the
need
is
for
the
city
of
Oldsmar
and
that's
where
our
request
comes
in
for
the
7
500.
J
Oldsmar,
Little,
League,
Oldsmar
soccer,
and
we
do
facilitate
those
programs
county-wide.
So
to
give
you
an
idea
in
2022,
we
served
about
25
programs
within
Pinellas
County
in
a
range
of
about
450
000,
we're
only
halfway
through
2023
right
now
and
we're
on
track
to
fund
about
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That's
ten
thousand
children
and,
of
course,
our
mission
and
if
we've
talked
about
inflation,
is
that
no
child
should
go
without
playing
Youth
Sports,
no
matter
what
their
financial
barriers
they
have
within
their
families.
J
S
Just
the
same
question
that
council
member
Gannon
had
for
the
previous
applicant,
so
the
number
is
275
as
it
was
projected
last
year
and
then
that's
projected
this
year
to
be
600.
correct.
So
the
request
we
didn't
receive
one
last
year,
but
we
still
there
was
a
service
provided
to
I'm
guessing
the
amount
of
kids
correct.
J
So
we
did
provide
in
2022
two
different
grants
to
North
Pinellas,
which
has
a
practice
here
in
the
city
of
Oldsmar
and
we've
just
expanded
outside
of
the
city
of
Clearwater,
so
we're
really
trying
to
Branch
out
and
get
into
these
communities
and
get
into
these
cities
before
we
really
start
asking
for
the
need
for
us
to
do
more.
So
we
wanted
to
establish
ourselves
kind
of
let
you
guys
know
what
we
are
doing
and
what
we
are
here
to
do
and
how
we
are
going
to
serve
the
youth
within
your
city.
O
Dunbar,
the
executive
director
of
cfy.
So
what
what
the
request
that
you
have
before?
You
is
because,
as
Brooke
has
said,
we
have
branched
out
and
we
are
actively
looking
to
support
youth
Athletics
here
in
Oldsmar.
We
are
estimating
that
next
year
that
giving
will
be
about
in
the
20
to
25
000
range.
We
make
sure
that
every
child
can
play
a
sport.
We
make
sure
that
all
the
kids
have
safe
equipment.
We
think
that
those
are
are
Paramount
pillars.
As
Brooke
mentioned,
we
have
pillars.
O
O
Over
the
last
two
years,
we
have
committed
a
half
a
million
dollars
to
education
of
73
kids,
either
working
with
Pinellas
Education
Foundation
or
through
our
or
through
our
grant
program.
So,
as
Brooke
mentioned,
one
of
the
reasons
we
go
by
cfy
is
it's
not
clear
water
any
longer.
It's
the
whole
County.
G
Q
L
V
Thank
you
good
evening.
Everyone.
My
name
is
Devin
Frank
I'm,
the
education
program
coordinator
with
keep
Pinellas
beautiful,
your
local
keep
America
beautiful
affiliate.
I
am
very
honored
to
have
been
invited
here
today
to
tell
you
about
our
city
membership
program.
The
city
of
Oldsmar
has
been
a
proud
member
of
this
program
in
the
past
and
we
hope
you
will
opt
to
continue
enrolling
in
this
program.
As
you
know,
kpb
has
been
an
integral
part
of
the
Pinellas
County
Community
for
over
30
years
through
our
education,
engagement
and
empowerment
efforts.
V
Our
vision
is
to
create
a
culture
of
environmentally
responsible
citizens
within
and
throughout
Pinellas
County.
In
just
Oldsmar
alone.
Over
the
last
two
years,
we've
engaged
over
120
volunteers
at
50
events,
removing
480
pounds
of
litter,
saving
the
city's
taxpayers,
an
estimated
10
160
dollars
to
help
support
the
growth
of
our
programming.
We
created
our
kpb
annual
City
membership
program
so
for
750
donation.
Your
city
will
be
recognized
as
a
city
partner
of
kpb
on
our
website
and
on
our
2024
volunteer
t-shirts.
V
You'll
also
receive
special
recognition
on
our
weekly
email,
newsletters
annual
report
and
our
annual
luncheon.
A
member
window
decal
will
also
be
provided
to
be
displayed
at
your
city
office,
so
the
main
purpose
of
becoming
a
kpb
city
member
is
that
it
helps
kpb
to
be
here
for
your
city.
I've
brought
many
copies
of
last
year's
kpb
annual
report,
which,
along
with
containing
great
information
about
our
programs
and
events,
also
has
our
contact
information.
V
So,
additionally,
we
have
a
letter
hotline,
one
of
the
many
services
that
we
provide
when
a
resident
spots,
a
large
illegal
dumping
of
litter.
They
can
call
our
hotline
and
will
come
to
dispose
of
it
properly.
So
you're
welcome
to
share
our
hotline
with
everyone
in
your
city
that
is
727-210
gone,
okay,
someone's
curious
and
finally,
we'd
love
for
the
city
of
Oldsmar
to
take
part
in
our
two
major
events.
V
Each
year,
the
Great
American
Cleanup
in
the
spring
and
the
international
Coastal
Cleanup
in
the
fall
we'd
love
for
Oldsmar
to
host
the
site
or
sites
for
cleanups.
During
both
events,
we
need
your
help
to
keep
Oldsmar
beautiful.
So
if
you
would
like
to
have
a
city
of
Oldsmar
lead,
cleanup
or
similar
environmental
programming
at
any
time
throughout
the
year,
all
you
need
to
do
is
reach
out
we're
more
than
happy
to
get
that
set
up
with
you.
V
So
our
organization
relies
on
volunteers
and
dedicated
network
of
Partners
to
accomplish
all
that
we
do
in
Pinellas
County.
We
are
committed
to
our
community
and
are
proud
to
say
that
to
date,
17
of
the
24
municipalities
in
the
county
have
joined
our
cause.
So
we
hope
you
guys
will
consider
supporting
our
mission
to
keep
Pinellas
beautiful
in
2024..
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
consideration
and
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions.
Wonderful.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
I
V
Instances
of
volunteerism,
so
it
could
have
been
the
same
individuals
showing
up
at
the
same
events,
which
there
are
some
that
do
come
to
events
regularly,
but
we
always
do
have
it's
one
of
the
questions
we
love
asking
at.
Our
events
is
whose
first
time
is
this
doing
a
beach
cleanup
or
you
know
whatever
it
is,
and
there's
always
people
who
raise
their
hands
and
it's
an
eye-opening
experience
for
sure
for
them.
So.
I
S
V
S
I
think
it's
more
of
the
question
I
think
we're
going
to
have
it.
Probably
that's
a
static
question
throughout
the
night
is
yeah.
If
the
150
volunteers
and
there
was
a
direct
Municipal
purpose
because
they
were
cleaning
the
streets
or
something,
but
we
don't
have
that
specific
information
in
order
to
base
any
determination
off
of
Greg.
V
Q
X
D
W
So
I'm
unretired,
and
so
here
I
am
many
waves.
Neighborhood
Family
Center
has
been
serving
struggling
families
in
Oldsmar
for
as
long
as
I
was
at
at
the
center.
For
more
than
15
years,
we
have
a
long
history
of
partnership
with
the
city
of
Oldsmar,
we've
partnered
with
the
school
system
we
partner
with
the
chamber
we
partner
with
Oldsmar,
cares
this
most
recent
partnership
with
the
chamber.
We
have
a
family
support
person
that
is
coming
and
staying
two
two
times
a
week
to
help
residents
who
are
applying
for
financial
assistance
for
utility
support.
W
There
are
a
lot
of
people
out
there
hurting
just
so.
You
know
our
food
pantry
is
weekly.
I
know
that
Osmar
cases
gives
out
our
name
because
they
do
month,
but
we
do
weekly.
We
serve
over
two
thousand
Osmar
residents
this
year.
So
far
so
for
years,
we've
been
been
here
to
try
and
help
the
residents
that
that
have
needs.
I
will
end
with
just
one
story,
and
that
was
recently.
We
tried
to
stay
local.
When
we
get
a
service,
we
had
our
tablecloths,
they
need
to
be
wandered.
W
We
took
them
to
the
Oldsmar
place
and
the
woman
comes
out
and
looks
at
the
truck
and
says:
are
they
up
on
Martin,
Luther,
King
I?
Think
yeah?
Are
you
with
them
yeah
you
guys.
She
almost
started
crying
because
several
years
ago,
when
she
was
down
and
out
Maddie
Williams
was
there
to
help
her
and
her
kids
get
through
a
tough
time,
and
that's
all
I
can
tell
you
that's
what
we
do.
That's
what
we've
done.
W
She's,
not
the
only
one
I've
heard
it
a
lot
from
a
lot
of
like
people
all
over
the
four
zip
codes
that
we
serve.
The
funding
we
get
from
Oldsmar
stays
to
help
Oldsmar
residents.
That's
how
we
do
it.
Safety
Harbor
mining
says
help
Safety
Harbor
residents,
that
is,
we
have
separate
line
items
for
each
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
anybody
might
have.
Thank.
G
R
G
W
F
R
W
L
I
1994
and
then
this
year
projected
to
be
2500
and
you
kind
of
explained,
the
division
between
Safety,
Harbor
and
Oldsmar
in
the
I
guess
I
mean
you're,
not
looking
at
what
I'm
looking
at,
but
in
the
application.
The
line
above
explains
the
number
of
total
individuals
served
by
the
organization.
It
appears
that
Oldsmar
makes
a
possibly
a
larger
percentage
of
that
now
than
Safety
Harbor.
Is
that
correct.
W
I
W
I
A
Y
Y
W
Q
H
I'm
very
happy
to
be
here.
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Susan
McIntyre
I
serve
as
the
development
director
at
neighborly
senior
care.
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
apply
again.
You
folks
have
been
supporting
neighborly
and
its
services
to
seniors
from
many
many
many
years
faithfully
and
we
have
served
in
what
we've
submitted
to
you,
62
our.
H
H
So
it's
our
volunteers
that
are
addressing
that
and
that
way
neighborly
can
respond
as
well.
If
it's
not
an
immediate
emergency,
we
can
just
report
and
then
have
the
family
notified.
So
for
a
lot
of
people
whose
families
are
in
other
parts
of
the
country.
This
is
a
very
valuable
service
in
allowing
people
to
remain
safely
at
home.
H
H
We
have
a
waiting
list
of
1249
people
waiting
for
services
in
Pinellas,
County
20
of
those
are
in
Oldsmar,
a
senior
who
receives
daily,
delivered
meals,
experiences
the
greatest
improvements
in
health
and
quality
of
life
compared
to
a
senior
who
receives
Frozen,
weekly,
delivered
meals
or
no
meals
at
all.
We
know
that
human
touch
is
making
a
difference.
Not
only
does
research
show
it,
but
we
do
annual
surveys.
In
addition,
if,
if
you
know
anything
about
seniors,
they
don't
hold
back
if
they
have
any
criticism
at
all,
but.
H
It
was
very
bold.
You
have
generously
been
giving
us
five
thousand
dollars
for
many
years.
What
we
do
is
we've
got
to
raise
the
10
match
for
what
services
cost
and
so
at
the
in
calendar
year,
2022
10
percent,
the
10
percent
match-
would
be
a
108
552..
So
we
are
asking
for
ten
percent
of
that.
As
our
match
and
I
know,
it's
bold.
It's
very
hard
to
sit
here
with
people
who
do
work
like
I,
do
and
say:
oh,
but
but
my
my
clients
are
really
really
desperate.
H
L
Q
Q
X
X
Oldsmar
cares
is
we
serve
four
zip
codes,
but
the
majority
of
the
people
that
we
serve
are
in
Oldsmar,
probably
85
percent.
We
provide
food
and
clothing
to
all
four
zip
codes.
We
provide
financial
assistance
to
Oldsmar
residents
only
that
is
utility
assistance,
rent
assistance
up
to
two
hundred
dollars
a
year.
You
just
have
to
be
an
Oldsmar
resident
and
come
in
with
your
utility
or
rent
and
we
get
it
paid
for
you.
X
Then
we
have
another
program
which
is
called
Patchwork
Grant,
which
is
for
above
the.
If
someone
needs
more
than
two
hundred
dollars.
You
know
this
year,
particularly
we've
had
a
lot
of
people
that
have
had
water
leaks
that
have
had
enormous
bills
that
could
not
afford
it,
so
that
would
be
fall
into
our
Patchwork
Grant
category,
which
is
up
like
120
percent.
This
year
we
serve
a
ton
of
seniors
on
fixed
incomes
that
you
know
they.
They
just
don't
have
a
choice.
X
Our
donations
were
down
15
percent
this
last
fiscal
year,
and
we
have
people
coming
in
that
a
few
years
ago
were
donating
to
us
our
food
for
kids
program,
the
last
school
year.
We
provided
every
week
food
for
seven
meals
for
the
kids
to
take
home
at
Forest,
Lakes
and
allsmar
Elementary,
that
was
up
to
48
children
this
school
year,
I'm
sure
that
will
increase
so
there's
just
a
big
need
right
now.
Our
food
cost
we're
up
129
from
last
year
so
that
that's
all
I
have
any.
I
X
Oh
and
the
other
thing
that
I
also
wanted
to
mention
is
that
we
did
provide
food
as
Janet
mentioned
since
covid
twice
a
month,
but
starting
this
month
we
are
scaling
back
to
once
a
month
for
households,
but
we
still
do
provide
we're
open
six
days
a
week
and
any
homeless
can
come
in
all
six
days
and
get
sandwiches
fruit
something
to
drink.
So
that
is,
unfortunately,
we
have
a
lot
of
homeless
people
here
in
in
Oldsmar.

Q
C
Suit

Arlington,
Avenue,
East
Oldsmar,
director
of
the
opal
theater
program,
and
the
student
answers
program
with
the
city
of
Oldsmar
I
have
brought
a
report
that
I
would
like,
if
it's
appropriate,
to
pass
out
that
I've
asked
my
Board
member
Miss
Daphne,
who
is
also
our
chamber,
rep
liaison
and
a
new
board
member
joining
us
this
past.
This
sheet
that
we're
passing
out
is
a
projected
budget
for
this
upcoming
performance.
I
want
to
start
off
by
saying
a
big.
Thank
you.
Forgive
me
with
my
glasses.
C
I
am
semi-blind
in
one
eye,
so
I'm
going
to
do
my
best
here.
I
want
to
start
with
a
big
thank
you
to
council
staff
and
the
community
for
their
continued
support
of
our
opal
theater
program
through
our
unique
partnership,
and
as
many
of
you
know,
that
unique
partnership
is
a
subcontracted
program
that
I
am
the
director
of
that.
C
The
Oldsmar
Friends
of
the
Arts
are
the
producers
of
the
performances
and
we
have
been
proud
to
take
on
that
role
as
the
official
producers
for
the
opal
theater
performances,
in
conjunction
with
the
city
sponsorship
and
the
subcontracted
theater
program,
we're
honored
to
be
a
part
of
this
special
relationship
with
the
city
that
benefits
our
students
and
the
community.
The
sponsorship
funds
received
by
the
city
of
Oldsmar
have
been
greatly
appreciated
by
our
program,
our
students
and
our
families
and,
as
many
know,
obviously,
as
our
student
race
increases,
our
budget
needs
grow
as
well.
C
For
example,
we've
had
15
students
in
the
past.
This
show
we
have
24
students
and
we
have
hopes
in
the
future
to
include
up
to
40
students
within
our
performances.
I
have
supplied
you
a
brief
budget
for
our
upcoming
performance,
to
give
you
a
better
overview
of
our
program
and
how
the
funds
are
used.
Peter
Pan,
Junior
costs
are
estimated
at
9
500,
with
income
of
approximately
7
800,
and
that
includes
the
half
of
the
six
thousand
dollars
or
three
thousand
dollars
that
the
city
sponsors
us
to
help
produce.
C
These
shows
I
wanted
to
also
point
out
and
keep
in
mind
that
this
is
a
subcontracted
program
that
sometimes
get
overlooked,
that
the
income
for
the
city
of
Oldsmar
brings
in
an
estimated
3
700
alone
in
just
the
Oldsmar
or
the
opal
theater
program.
That
goes
to
the
city
of
Oldsmar
and
quite
a
bit
more,
if
you
add
in
masuda's
dancers,
to
the
program.
C
So
some
of
this
money
routes
back
around,
which
I
think
is
really
great
and
helps
cover
cost
for
space,
and
things
like
that
as
well,
and
our
unique
partnership
we'd
like
to
reiterate
that
our
current
sponsorship
fund
amounts,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
past,
only
helps
to
sustain
one
current
program.
It
does
not
allow
any
room
for
growth.
One
of
our
many
goals
with
the
current
opal
theater
program
is
to
purchase
18
months
of
scripts
in
advance
or
three
shows
that
costs
us
approximately
thirty
two
hundred
dollars
right
off
the
top.
C
C
Well,
I
did
do
some
actually
I
did
some
notes
that
I
would
like
to
share.
I
did
a
number
over
the
shows,
performances,
students,
audiences
for
Miss
suit,
as
dancers
opal
theater
and
the
Community
Chorus
that
performs
once
a
year
we
touch
over
3
000
lives
throughout
all
of
our
programs.
That's
you
know,
families
in
attendance
that
students
that
actually
participate
in
the
program
Etc,
so
we
and
that's
each
year
and
it
grows.
As
you
guys
know,
we've
had
some
shows
that
have
had
650
guests
at
them.
We
averaged
three
to
four
hundred
guests.
C
The
students
in
the
opal
program
right
now
are
24.
The
dance
program
is
25.
We
can
hold
up
to
40
in
both
programs
and,
of
course,
as
the
programs
grow,
so
do
the
expenses
and,
as
you
can
see
like
rental
of
microphones
and
things
like
that,
as
we
put
more
students
in
we
get
quite
a
bit
more
increases.
C
A
C
Q
F
Z
We
also
unique
in
the
sense
that
our
mission
is
clearly
tied
to
lessening
the
burden
of
government.
So
what
we
look
at
first
are
Council
priorities,
an
attempt
to
align
ourselves
with
that.
In
line
with
that,
we
have.
As
you
also
know,
our
funding
primarily
has
come
from
our
good
relationship
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
These,
the
millions
of
dollars
returned
to
small
business
through
the
employee
retention
credit
program,
even
though
the
IRS
pays
unbearably
slow
that
money
as
it
trickles
in
all
of
that's.
Coming
back
into
the
city
of
Oldsmar.
Z
In
the
original
request,
we
had
been
optimistic
about
the
paint
the
pavement
program
and
supporting
that
that
program
has
been
slow
to
develop
everything
that
I
discuss
or
the
funding
request
here
is
what
we
would
like
you
to
match.
From
a
challenge
perspective,
we
will
show
up
with
the
money
and
the
the
money
we're
looking
for
a
match
here.
Z
In
light
of
the
conservative
nature
of
where
we
are
with
everything
else,
there
are
other
programs
specifically
related
to
the
council's
priorities:
around
expanding
Community
engagement
and
safe
routes
to
school,
in
an
effort
to
support
your
good
work
there
with
fdot
and
bring
that
we
have
three
three
programs
really
underneath
that
we're
supporting
and
funding.
So
the
walking
School
Bus
program,
the
Eliza's
mileage
club
and
we
consider
paint
the
pavement
to
be
a
a
stepping
stone
toward
the
safe
routes
to
school,
since
we're
tying
the
hope
to
tie
together
the
messaging
there.
Z
Along
with
this,
in
addition
to
that,
in
the
Computing
engagement
side,
we
have
a
neighborhood
Council
forming
we
had
50
people
or
so
at
the
tico
Hall.
Last
week
we
are
excited
about
the
potential
and
what
approach
the
city
about
helping
with
assert
program.
We
have
something
called
hurricane
buddies.
We
want
to
be
in
line
with
what
the
city
is
doing
or
would
like
to
do
with
regard
to
safety.
Z
Z
AA
Good
evening
my
name
is
Melvin
Jackson
I
am
our
Newark
District
station
Commander.
Let's
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
on
Pinellas
Safe
Harbor
Safe
Harbor
opened
in
January
of
2011
as
a
jail
diversion
emergency
shelter.
The
shelter
was
specifically
created
to
Aid
the
criminally
Justice
involved
homeless
within
the
county.
As
of
right
now,
Pinellas
Safe
Harbor
is
the
only
shelter
within
the
county
that
is
open,
24
hours
a
day
365
days
a
year,
and
this
gives
law
enforcement
a
opportunity
to
every
day
have
somewhere
to
take
these
homeless.
Folks.
AA
On
average
we
see
about
300
residents
daily.
We
have
a
total
capacity
of
up
to
470
residents
per
day
annually,
we're
looking
at
about
a
thousand
homeless
individuals
who
get
out
of
jail
and
go
to
Safe
Harbor
because
they
have
nowhere
else
to
go
on
average
over
5
000
Unique
Individuals
use
shelter
at
the
heart
at
the
Safe
Harbor,
which
accounts
for
about
12
000
intakes
annually
of
these
about
600
individuals
are
veterans
and
another
600
folks
are
chronically
homeless.
AA
The
average
age
group
we're
looking
at
is
between
31
and
62
years
old,
and
anyone
over
the
age
of
18
is
eligible
for
this.
So
the
facility
itself,
we
offer
phones,
Wi-Fi,
washers,
dryers,
ironing
station
microwaves,
televisions,
you
name
it.
Additionally,
each
resident
has
a
locker
where
they
can
store
their
own
personal
residence
or
their
own
items.
The
annual
cost
for
us
to
operate
the
shelter
is
about
2.2
million
dollars,
the
sheriff
budgets
for
this
expenditure
yearly,
but
several
cities
donate
to
help
us
offset
the
cost,
and
we
really
appreciate
it.
AA
AA
L
L
Q
F
A
Q
Q
K
K
And
there
was
no
funding
report
really
I
thought.
The
whole
thing
had
been
completed
properly:
Gerald
Jacobs,
immediate
past
president
of
the
Upper
Tampa
Bay
chamber,
Education
Foundation,
and
our
request
is
for
two
thousand
dollars
and
we
give
that
money.
100
percent
of
all
the
money
that
we
bring
in
goes
back
out.
K
We
don't
have
any
paid
people
that
work
for
us,
we're
all
100
volunteers,
the
money
that
we're
requesting
is
going
to
go
to
Forest,
Lake,
Elementary
and
Oldsmar
Elementary,
and
to
really
see
the
impact
of
what
we
do
for
these
schools.
I'd
like
to
invite
all
of
you
or
one
of
you
to
go
with
us
for
the
presentation
you'll
be
able
to
see
the
difference
that
we
make
for
these
schools.
It's
amazing,
you
think
that
well
they
get
funded,
they
get
they've
got
a
budget
and
everything
else.
K
There
is
an
unbelievable
amount
of
things
that
are
not
included
in
their
budget
that
they
have
to
pay
for
one
way
or
another
or
do
without
sometimes
they
do
special
projects
for
the
kids
that
are
not
funded.
Sometimes
they
do
special
projects
for
the
faculty.
That's
not
funded.
I
know.
During
the
the
worst
part
of
the
coven
years,
morale
boosting
for
faculty
members
was
was
a
big
deal
because
it
was
really
difficult
for
them
to
keep
a
stiff
upper
lip
and
and
keep
everything
going.
K
But
the
the
difference
that
we're
able
to
make
is
this:
every
dollar
that
comes
into
the
school
from
that
the
Pinellas
County
School
Board,
is
allocated
for
specific
purposes
right
down
to
thumbtacks
the
money
that
we
give
them
is
Gratis.
We
don't
expect
them
to
tell
us
necessarily
what
we
do
with
it.
We
don't
care
what
they
do
with
it
as
long
as
they
do
something
responsible
with
it.
K
We're
going
to
accept
that
they're,
responsible
adults,
and
let
it
go
with
that,
and
if
you'd
really
like
to
see
what
this
is
about
and
the
difference
it
makes
to
them,
I
invite
you
to
join
us.
When
we
do
the
presentation,
that's
pretty
amazing,
it
really
is
it's
all
about
the
kids.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Any.
I
P
Q
N
Doug
Bevis
vice
president
of
the
holiday
sharing
fund,
101
State
Street
West
I,
also
want
to
thank
the
city
for
going
back
to
Parks
and
Rec.
That
was
a
very
nice
thing.
The
show
would
have
never
lasted
seven
years
if
it
was
called
Leisure
Services,
so
I
do
want
to
just
clarify
something
that
holiday
sharing
fund
is
its
own
non-profit.
It's
really
not
the
Upper
Tampa
Bay
chamber
holiday,
sharing
fund.
It
is
strictly
the
holiday
sharing
fund.
We
use
the
chambers
address
because
we
don't
have
a
physical
location.
N
We
provided
last
year
we
budgeted
three
thousand
dollars
was
our
request,
and
that
was
based
on
roughly
an
estimated
30
bikes
at
a
hundred
dollars,
a
piece
we
wound
up,
buying,
35
bikes
and
now
the
bikes
are
about
125
dollars
a
piece
and
then
it
had
helmets
and
things
like
that.
But
we
kept
the
requests.
The
same
I
don't
want
it
to
be
confused
with
holiday
sharing
or
with
kids
Pedal
Power.
That
is
a
completely
different
component.
It
falls
under
the
holiday
sharing
fund,
but
we
wanted
to
do
something
for
kids.
N
Throughout
the
year
it's
amazing
I
went
today.
We
gave
four
bikes
to
four
young,
ladies,
that
have
never
had
a
bike,
much
less
a
new
one,
so
it
that's
completely
different.
All
the
money
that
we
are
requesting
for
Holiday,
sharing
fun
stays
right
here
in
the
city
of
Oldsmar,
it's
vetted
through
the
Pinellas
County
Sheriff's
department,
and
it's
collaborated
with
the
Safety
Harbor,
so
that
we
may
make
sure
that
we're
not
double
dipping.
N
We
do
the
best
that
we
can
to
make
sure
that
they
weren't
in
the
program
the
year
previous
and
have
a
bike
before.
So
these
are
all
kids
that
are
right
here
from
our
Oldsmar
area.
Unfortunately,
we
you
know
we
do
that.
We
had
to
cut
it
back
just
because
bikes
got
so
expensive.
We
were
funding
a
lot
of
other
bikes
in
the
area
as
well,
but
we
just
couldn't
sustain
that.
So
that's
all
it
is
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
the
holiday
sharing
fund
request
is
strictly
for
Oldsmar,
kids
and
bikes.
I
Was
actually
going
to
be
one
of
my
questions
because
I
see
sometimes
on,
like
social
media
I,
see
posts
of
people
getting
homes
via
Habitat
for
Humanity
working
for
excuse
me
working
for
homes
for
Habitat
for
Humanity
and
then
sometimes
there's
a
bike
for
the
kids
and
then
it's
shared
by
different.
You
know
members
I'm,
like
okay,
wait.
This
application
is
for
the
purchase
of
bikes
that
stay
in.
J
N
A
Q
AB
Due
to
the
increase
in
expenses
for
events
and
400
percent
increase
in
liability
insurance,
it
is
getting
harder
and
harder
for
us
to
to
support
the
City
events
like
old,
smart
days.
Second
Friday
and
celebrate
Oldsmar,
so
we're
asking
the
city
to
help
us
offset
those
costs
for
the
insurance
and
the
increasing
expenses,
the
Sheriff's
Department
and
every
you
know
every
everything
else,
tents,
beer,
everything
is
increased
increased.
A
I
I
I
I
One
okay,
so
I've
been
kicking
around
this
question.
I'll
ask
you
about
the
other
things
too,
but
between
Oldsmar
days
so
so
celebrate
Oldsmar.
You
know
it
started
out
as
okay
we're
not
going
to
have
Fourth
of
July
fireworks,
so
we
move
it
to
September.
So
then
it
kept
getting
rained
out.
So
then
we
kind
of
moved
it
closer
to
end
of
September
and
then
we
kind
of
were
getting
close
to
October,
and
then
we
have
Oktoberfest
right
on
the
back
of
that
and
I've
I've
previously
remarked
in
the
past.
I
I
AB
I
AB
I
AB
AB
Mean
it
serves
the
community,
it
brings
people
together,
it
brings
the
businesses
together.
Second
Friday
borrow
a
lot
of
businesses,
business
people
together.
You
know
that
you
know
we
have.
We
have
food
vendors
vendors.
Also,
my
days
Oktoberfest,
you
know
they
were
celebrated,
it
brings
brings
the
community
together.
I
A
R
I'm
just
curious
as
far
as
the
the
you
know,
our
the
general
form
is
it's
labeled,
as
charitable
donation
requests
and
then
near
the
bottom.
With
the
question
that
says,
if
yes,
which
was
for
prior
question
of,
have
you
requested
funds
from
the
city
before
which
I
don't
know?
If
that's
just
an
error
in
the
way
I
printed
out,
because
it's
marked
yes
and
no,
but
then
it
says
the
answer
was
not
a
donation
see
a
BAP
agreement?
Can
you
explain
the.
AB
AB
I
A
You
I
got
just
a
couple:
questions
celebrate
Oldsmar.
Let's
start
with
that,
one
that
used
to
be
one
day
Saturday
with
fireworks.
I
noticed
fireworks,
aren't
on
here,
so
that's
usually
around
17
to
20.
000.50
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
all
right,
so
it
turned
into
a
three-day
event
which,
instead
of
a
one,
so
that's
one
thing
and
then
Oldsmar
days
is
very
important.
It's
been
around
for
so
long
with
the
Oldsmobile
Club
is
very
involved
with
that.
He
owns
a
real
parade.
A
I
just
want
to
say
one
thing:
I'm
very
appreciative
that
you've
taken
this
over,
because
these
to
me
are
two
very
important
events
for
our
City
Community
and
I'm,
very
thankful
that
the
chamber
honestly
I
was
not
really
too
kind
about
it
when
you
first
took
it
over,
but
you
guys
have
done
an
excellent
job.
You've
done
a
wonderful
job
of
taking
it
over
and
I
support
both
of
these
programs
I've
attended.
Quite
a
few
of
the
second
Fridays
I,
don't
know
what
what
your
plans
are
with
that.
Are
you
going
to
continue
that
or.
Y
You
know
I,
look
at
this
and
I'd
love
to
see
a
comparison
year
over
year
and
see
what
it
was
last
year
versus
this
year,
but
we're
also
missing.
You
know:
there's
Revenue
that
you're
collecting
on
the
other
side
and
you're
collecting
the
booth,
rentals
you're,
collecting
the
beer,
food,
the
beer
and
the
other
revenues
there.
Have
you
seen
that
increase
over
the
years
or.
AB
Y
U
AC
AC
L
G
AC
I
AC
AC
That's
up
to
the
chamber
to
manage
I
mean
we
manage
that.
We've
managed
that
for
years
yeah
you
know
the
challenge
has
just
been
financially,
you
know
doing.
Events
is
very
weather
dependent
and
then
also
the
major
increase
of
costs
for
Sheriff's
major
increase
in
costs
of
liability
insurance.
You
know
we
want
to
provide
these
recreational
facilities
for
the
residents
of
Oldsmar.
P
AC
Not
just
ultimate
talking
about
you
know
the
economic
impact
from
from
the
event
side,
bringing
people
like
yourself
who
attended
those
events
years
ago
I
was
like
well
yeah,
it's
a
cool
place.
I
want
to
go
live
there.
You
know,
there's
there's
that
that
dollar
effect
that
we
can't
really
track.
So
you
know
we
would
hate
to
see
these
events
go
away,
but
as
as
a
board
of
directors
who
are
fiscally
responsible,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
these
events
at
least
break
even
and
they're,
not
losing
money.
So
I.
AC
Every
organization
on
here
is
fantastic
and
right,
hopefully
gets
some
funding
from
tonight.
I
know
that
you
guys
have
a
really
tricky
job
to
decide.
You
know
how
this
all
works
along
with
balancing
a
50
million
dollar
budget.
You
know
that's
a
it's
a
small
portion
of
that
and
we're
taking
up
a
lot
of
the
time,
but
it's
important
that
we
work
through
the
reasons
why
we're
all
here
so
kudos
to
everybody
up
there.
AC
There's
been
some
discussion
to
to
reduce
the
number
of
days
of
celebrate
Ultima
to
help
control
the
cost,
but
still
have
the
event
and
then,
obviously,
in
regards
to
Second
Friday,
we
had
started
second
Friday
in
the
hopes
of
continuing
the
momentum
for
downtown
and
and
grow
in
downtown,
obviously
a
slight
change
of
Direction.
You
know
with
that
and
the
current
status
of
the
economy-
and
you
know
unsure
of
developments
you
know.
Second
Friday
is
obviously
something
that
is.
F
I
AC
A
A
As
you
all
know,
we
only
budgeted
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
for
this
line
item.
This
certainly
will
be
a
tough
decision
for
the
entire
city
council.
Up
here,
I
understand
the
city.
Clerk
may
have
some
options.
Would
you
like
to
come
up
and
share
those
with
us
for
the
council,
so
we
can
decide
where
to
move
next.
Q
Yes,
last
year,
I
understand
that
the
council
allocated
amounts
to
each
request,
one
at
a
time
in
no
particular
order.
Due
to
the
large
amount
of
requests
received
this
year.
Another
approach
may
be
to
prioritize
the
funding
request
and
then
allocate
desired
funding.
You
could
prioritize
the
funding
request
by
assigning
a
value
from
one
to
five,
five
being
the
highest
priority
to
each
request.
Q
Q
A
R
A
S
S
But
just
in
general
I
mean
if
we,
if
we
raised
it,
say-
and
this
is
for
everybody,
but
it's
just
an
idea
that
I
had
where
we
were
at
75
000,
but
we
had
so
many
applications
and
for
worthy
causes,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
difficult.
Regardless
could
we
have
a
little
bit
more
breathing
room
but
I,
don't
know
where
that
money
would
come
from
in
other
parts
of
the
budget,
but
whatever
recommendation
Felicia
may
have
regarding
that.
B
You
know,
ultimately,
the
council
makes
that
decision.
Having
said
that,
you
know
it's
very
important
for
us
to
have
a
balanced
budget,
so
any
of
that
wiggle
room
I
would
suggest
if
you
wanted
to
add
a
little
more.
That's
probably
okay,
but
I
wouldn't
add
too
much
more
because
it
only
has
to
come.
The
only
place
that
I
have
that
it
could
come
from
right
now
is
is
really
our
contingency
fund,
which
is
really
there
for
for
for
for
our
own
unknowns.
S
I
mean,
in
my
opinion,
my
in
my
own
head.
My
cap
was
ninety
thousand
dollars,
so
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
increase
not
that
we
have
to
get
to
the
90.,
but
that
we
couldn't
go.
We
couldn't
go
over
the
90.,
but
that
was
just
me
thinking
about
it
in
my
head,
where
it's
hey
I
want
to
help
everybody
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
in
total.
That's
just
the
fact
of
the
matter,
but
do
we
have
the
wherewithal
to
facilitate
a
little
bit
more
money.
Y
I
I
I
Y
A
I
I
On
my
own
and
now
everything
is
upside
down
and
changed,
so
I
I
would
be
in
favor
of
doing
the
the
weighted
approach
and
then,
if
we
have
additional
organizations
that
we
want
to
consider
going
beyond
the
75
000
like
last
year,
we
went
up
to
77
500,
because
we
I
think
we
threw
in
the
the
cellular
budget
and
a
couple
other
things
to
to
find
the
additional
funding
without
taking
it
from
contingency.
Then
I
think
that
would
make
the
most
sense
to
me
right.
A
Kristin
I
I,
actually
like
the
the
idea
of
the
the
five
or
the
one
where
we
like
best
and
I
do
actually
like
councilmember
graber's
suggestion,
because
the
presentations
that
we
had
today
were
very
impressive.
There's
a
need
out
there,
so
I
do
believe
we
could
maybe
do
a
little
of
increase,
but
not
a
lot
of
increase
but
I
kind
of
agree
with
councilmember
Graber.
A
On
that
doing,
some
type
of
increase
and
I
would
like
to
do
the
spreadsheet,
where
you
have
the
rate
of
five
to
one,
because
as
councilmember
Gannon
said
in
a
lot
of
her
questions
were,
are
you
an
Oldsmar?
Are
the
funds
going
into
Oldsmar
and
I?
Think
that's
really
important,
where
we
stand
today
with
our
economy
with
our
city,
employees,
with
our
fire
department
and
where
we're
headed
in
the
future,
and
especially
Marco
just
said
with
the
chamber
the
insurance
rates?
That's
a
that's
a
huge
problem,
not
only
here
but
in
Pinellas
County.
R
I
just
made
me
do
a
little
exercise,
real
quick,
so
for
those
that
submit
an
application
that
got
an
Inc
that
are
requesting
an
increase
and
receive
funding
in
a
prior
year.
Could
you
put
your
hands
up
real,
quick
for
an
increase
yeah,
yes,
move
forward,
just
those
that
asked
for
an
increase
all
right
for
those
that
have
their
hands
up,
keep
them
up
if
we
were
to
not
make
any
sort
of
increase
or
adjustment
leave
your
hands
up
if
it
would
be
extremely
painful
for
your
operation,.
S
A
R
I
I
R
L
A
R
F
R
S
S
S
If
it's
only
a
potential
of
two
there's,
a
thousand
bucks
right
and
so
do
we
try
to
do
that
to
say:
okay,
we'll
go
a
little
bit
north
of
the
75.,
we'll
try
to
pull
it
from
different
places
and
therefore
we
can
perhaps
get
more
money
to
people
or
do
we
try
to
keep
it.
But
then
we
still
have
to
have
a
discussion
about
the
special
events,
foreign.
Q
R
F
F
F
R
F
I
F
R
AD
F
F
A
Priority
schedule
all
right,
so
then
Clearwater
youth
I
gave
them
a
four
keep
Pinellas
beautiful
I
gave
them
a
one.
Maddie
Williams
I
gave
them
a
three
neighborhood
care
meal
on
Wheels
I
gave
them
a
four
Oldsmar
cares.
I
gave
them
a
five
Oldsmar
Friends
of
the
Arts
I
gave
them
a
four
Oldsmar

I
gave
them

Maddie

too.
I
Catholic

for
you:

keep
Nails

Maddie

four
Tampa
Bay

Special
events
support
five.
Q
S
Us
yeah
we'd
need
to
punch
in
the
numbers
the
way
that
I
had
suggested
and,
of
course,
always
up
for
discussion
put
in
the
numbers
from
last
year
in
this
year's
column
and
then
see
if
we
can
move
up
or
down
or
around,
but
completely
up
to
the
pleasure
of
the
council.
But
that
was
when
I
was
suggesting.
I
R
If
we
could,
we
had
a
discussion
last
week
as
it
relates
to
special
event,
request
and
the
concept
of
potentially
considering
that
for
being
budgeted
elsewhere.
If
it
is
the
desire
of
the
council,
as
well
as
with
staff,
to
have
value
as
clearly
we've
ranked
it
or
average
weight
ranked
it
relatively
High,
is
there
any
opportunity
to
move
that
elsewhere?
I
know
it's
still.
B
So
so
this
time
each
is
a
charitable
donations
that
you
approve
will
come
forward
with
a
contract,
so
it
will
have
a
an
agreement
for
services
or
an
agreement
as
to
what
the
expenditure
of
fund
is
for
your
allocated
money.
So
it
has
the
same
net
effect.
So
so
you
know
whether
or
not
it's
placed
in
another
budget
is
still
going
to
have
the
same
same
effect,
so
it
it.
You
know
it
doesn't
really
matter.
Okay,
very.
X
R
B
I
I'm
not
sure
what
the
the
easiest
way
is.
However,
you
all
want
to
proceed,
but
you
may
may
want
to
start
plugging
in
numbers
and
then
seeing
the
spreadsheet
will
work
to
where
you
will
see.
You'll
see
the
kind
of
the
net
effect
of
that.
So,
as
you
start
spending
money,
it'll
start
taking
it
off
the
bottom.
So
you
you
know
how
much
is
left
of
the
allocation
and
that
is
at
75
grand.
B
I
R
AF
R
I
I
mean
I
went
through
this
at
home
and
I,
you
know
reduced
or
increased
amounts.
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
what
what
you
guys
did
so,
for
example,
because
to
me
keep
Pinellas
beautiful
while
an
incredible
organization
with
a
laudable
purpose.
I
I
moved
that
to
zero,
because
I
wanted
to
allocate
that
money
elsewhere,
I
I,
don't
you
know
this
is
incredibly
difficult,
but
this
is
the
reality
of
of
what
we
have
Oldsmar
cares.
I
wanted
to
meet
a
slight
increase.
I
Y
Y
Over
a
week,
I
didn't
even
thought
of
that
price.
What
we're
doing
up
here
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
virtual
learning
and
things
like
that
and
I'm,
not
discounting
being
in
person
at
events
where
we
can
highlight
our
city
and
have
a
representation
there
I'm
not
discounting
that,
but
these
are
hard
times
for
a
lot
of
people.
We
have
an
opportunity
here
and
and
I
I
would
like
to
see
if
we
could
raise
this
budget
a
little
bit
more
by
offsetting
something
else.
S
I
S
S
I
go
to
them,
but
they
reimburse
me
remember.
Well,
that's
right!
Yeah!
So
I
can
still
go
on
if
you're
on
that
you're
on
the
yeah
I'm
on
that
board,
that's
I
mean,
but
in
terms
of
the
city
paying
for
it,
I
haven't
asked
for
that.
I've
never
made
that
ask
I
go
to
those
events
on
my
own
Diamond.
They
pay
me
back.
Okay,.
Y
A
R
I
Y
Y
Q
I
Y
We
could
pause
for
one
moment
going
back
to
the
travel
look
if
we
take
a
moratorium
for
one
year
next
year,
we're
going
to
be
in
the
same
situation,
doing
the
same
exact
exercise
again,
probably
not
gonna,
be
an
appetite
for
giving
up
travel
again
right,
I'm,
just
I
want
to
throw
that
out
there
not
only
to
us,
but
also
you
know
we're
taking
sacrifices
up
here.
To
make
sure
charitable
needs
are
met.
Yeah
I
want
to
make
sure
that's
understood.
So
next
year
we're
not
going
back
and
going.
Y
L
S
S
S
Y
L
S
AC
I
I
S
R
I
I
I'm
in
my
allocation,
because
I
was
focused
on
the
municipal
purpose,
I
had
put
keep
Pinellas
beautiful
at
zero
I
had
reduced
Catholic
Charities
to
500.
I
had
put
Clearwater
for
youth
down
to
a
thousand
just
because
you
know
kind
of
focusing
and
making
that
radius
of
expenditure
very,
very
small
around
the
city,
because
that's
all
we
have
to
give
it's
not.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
merits
of
these
organizations.
It
just
doesn't.

Worst
case
scenario:
there's
some
late,
October
hurricane:
you
guys
our
contingency
is
what
keeps
a
city
providing
Services,
correct
and
I
I
love
that
that
we
have
this
small
bit
of
money
to
to
provide
to
local
organizations
and
that's
a
fantastic
and
laudable
cause.
But
our
our
purpose
is
to
make
sure
that
our
city
can
provide
services,
the
most
basic
services
to
our
residents.
All.
A
G
A
I
S
B
AE
If
it'll
help
you
out
with
this
on
the
offense
side,
once
you
take
us
down
to
15.,
I
can
find
support
from
other
local
businesses
that
we're
involved
in
as
well
to
cover
another
five
for
that,
and
we
still
keep
the
free
admission
and
everything
else
with
that.
So
that
helps
bring
you
down
a
more
manageable
number.
We're
willing
to
do
that.
L
A
A
C
L
F
B
Garrett
so
city
manager,
department,
the
city
manager,
ensures
the
effective
delivery
of
Municipal
services
and
programs,
while
supporting
the
council's
vision
mission
of
strategic
priorities.
It's
important
to
note
that
this
budget
also
contains
the
human
resources
elements
foreign,
so
you're,
going
to
see
this
throughout
the
presentation,
but
you'll
see
that
the
city
managers
department-
and
these
are
the
goals
for
the
upcoming
year-
support
the
following
strategic
goals
for
the
council.
So
one
of
the
goals
was
quality
of
place.
B
So
you
know
it's
I
ensure
the
fair
and
Equitable
administration
of
laws,
ordinances
and
policies,
in
accordance
with
State
guidelines,
provide
leadership
in
evaluating
services
and
an
alternate
Delivery
Systems
prepare
to
administer
the
budget.
Capital
programs,
service,
Incident
Commander
for
Emergency,
Operations,
coordinate
with
intergovernmental
and
private
interests
and
Implement
strategic
plans
and
incorporate
technology
and
Innovation
I.
B
Think
it's
important
to
pause
just
for
a
moment
about
the
Emergency
Operations,
because
Emergency
Operations
is
a
very
large
investment
of
City
time,
but
you're
not
going
to
see
it
in
the
budget
because
it
actually
doesn't
have
any
budgeted
expenses
for
it.
So
we
spend
a
a
large
amount
of
them.
Our
time
making
sure
that
we're
trained
and
ready
to
act
in
times
of
emergency,
so
I
think
that's
important
to
point
out
public
relations.
B
AG
Hi
good
evening
Council
and
mayor
Michelle,
Koch,
Human,
Resources,
Director,
okay,
so
Human
Resources.
We
manage
the
employee
benefits,
compensation,
training,
records,
recruitment,
Employee,
Engagement
programs,
Wellness
programs,
and
we
support
employee
relations
and
here's.

our
Mobley
Bayou
Beach
cleanup,
which
occurred
in
July.
That
was
the
sustainability
team.
Put
that
on.
AG
Goals
and
objectives,
so
this
is
where
I'm
going
to
spend
a
little
bit
more
time
today.
This
particular
slide,
as
mentioned
earlier.
Our
most
valuable
asset
here
at
the
city
is
our
employees,
so
in
HR
we
invest
in
the
overall
employee
experience.
We
offer
tools
and
support
to
which
in
return
will
help
our
Workforce
Thrive,
both
professionally
and
personally.
AG
AG
I'm
going
to
highlight
a
lot
of
the
events
and
activities
and
different
trainings
that
we've
put
on
in
the
past
12
months,
a
lot
of
them,
which
we'll
continue
to
do
next
fiscal
year
as
well,
so
for
employee
professional
development.
We
just
concluded
a
leadership
training
series.
It
was
eight
classes
in
all
and
it
was
to
help
train
the
up-and-coming
Oldsmar
leaders,
so
that
went
from
April
through
July
and
topics
included
emotional
intelligence,
holding
crucial
conversations,
personal
accountability,
time
management.
AG
It
was
so
well
received,
and
there
were
so
many
employees
that
wanted
to
take
it
and
didn't
get
an
opportunity
to
that.
We
are
going
to
hold
another
session
starting
in
the
winter.
We
also
actually
coming
out
of
that.
We
received
some
feedback
that
a
lot
of
the
field
staff
is
in
need
of
some
basic
computer
training
courses.
So
we're
trying
to
put
together
something
for
next
year
just
to
get
some
basics
in
place
like
the
Microsoft
Office
Suite
stuff.
You
know
word
excel
things
like
that.
They
don't
have
that
opportunity.
AG
You
know
they're
out
in
the
field
all
day
and
they're
not
sitting
at
a
computer,
so
that
will
give
them
the
necessary
skills
to
help
career
advancement
for
employee
well-being.
We
take
a
whole
health
approach.
We
address
it
from
many
angles,
so
the
the
first
one
is
our
employee
assistance
program
which
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
people
have
EAP
at
their
organizations.
We
offer
free
and
confidential
counseling
services
to
assist
with
personal
difficulties
or
life
challenges.
AG
AG
Didn't
care
our
local
BayCare,
also
partners
with
us
with
us.
They
give
us
live
monthly,
webinars
from
Physicians
on
different
topics
such
as
gut
health,
colon
cancer.
Oh
my
aching
back
and
other
medical
topics
from
physicians
in
the
local
community,
both
of
these
vendors
record
their
webinars,
so
that
our
employees
can
watch
them
back
at
a
later
time
or
they
can
always
visit
them.
If
the
topic
becomes
pertinent,
we
also
support
I'm.
Sorry,
we
do
Financial
Wellness
we're
in
the
middle
of
an
in-person
Financial
Wellness
series
for
the
employees.
AG
AG
We
bring
preventative
screenings
because
I
believe
preventative
screening,
save
lives.
I
think
everybody
feels
that
way.
The
earlier
we
know
or
can
detect
the
better
the
chances
are
so
the
wellness
screenings
are
covered
by
Cigna
at
100,
with
zero
patient
responsibility,
but
to
make
the
access
to
the
care
more
convenient.
We
bring
several
of
the
screenings
on
site.
AG
AG
We
partner
with
BayCare
to
do
an
annual
mammogram
day
for
our
employees
and
the
spouses
that
are
on
the
health
plan
and
the
employees
are
entitled
to
one
hour
of
work
time
to
go,
get
their
mammogram
done
down
at
the
hospital
and
then
come
back
to
work.
We
do
on-site
flu
and
shingle
shots
from
May
to
July
this
past
May
to
July.
AG
We
just
partnered
with
Tampa
General
Hospital
on
a
cola
guard
promotion
where
the
employees
just
signed
up
and
had
the
at-home
test
sent
to
them,
and
then
they
were
followed
up
by
a
physician,
that's
associated
with
the
hospital
if
needed.
This
fall
we're
adding
on-site
annual
physicals
with
the
annual
blood
work
panel.
So
there's
a
mobile
bus
now
offered
by
Tampa
General
and
they'll
bring
their
mobile
bus
here
right
here
in
the
State
Street
Center
parking
lot
to
do
the
on-site
physicals.
AG
We
offer
nutrition
education
where
employees
can
meet
one-on-one
with
a
registered
dietitian
fun.
Wellness
challenges
throughout
the
year
to
get
employees
to
participate
in
a
little
competitiveness.
A
wellness,
Bingo,
walking
challenges,
things
like
that
and
acknowledge
and
celebrate
employees.
Milestone
anniversaries
for
their
years
of
service,
beginning
at
five
years
and
employees
have
the
opportunity
to
recognize
and
celebrate
each
other
for
going
above
and
beyond,
with
different
Awards,
such
as
cheers
for
peers,
Homer,
Brunson,
Ward,
schrecking,
gost
and
the
city
manager
impact
award.
AG
We
have
several
opportunities
where
the
employees
can
contribute
to
the
community
and
help
their
co-workers
in
need.
One
of
them
is
called
the
turkey
strut.
You
may
have
heard
about
it,
so
we
combine
it.
An
employee
Wellness
walk
about
the
week
before
Thanksgiving,
where
they
walk
in
the
neighborhood,
but
at
the
same
time
they
bring
a
donation
item
for
Oldsmar
cares.
The
second
is
called
the
angel
tree
where
employees
nominate
a
co-worker
who
could
use
assistance
during
the
holiday
season
with
gifts
for
their
children.
AG
The
program
is
completely
Anonymous
and
HR
coordinates
the
participation
directly
with
the
employee.
With
the
nominated
employee,
we
create
ornament
tags
that
simply
identify
the
child's
age
and
the
gift
that
the
child
wants,
and
we
put
them
on
the
tree
in
the
lobby
of
city
hall
for
other
employees
to
come
and
take
an
ornament
and
then
drop
it
anonymously
to
HR.
Last
year
we
had
six
employees
participate
and
nine
children
benefited
from
the
program.
AG
AG
We
have
volunteer
policy
where
the
cities
are
allowed
to
use
an
hour
a
week
to
volunteer
in
the
local
community,
and
many
of
our
employees
use
this
time
for
the
lunchpal
program,
where
they
go
during
their
lunch
hour
and
and
Mentor
the
students
at
Forest,
Lakes
and
Oldsmar
Elementary.
So
that's
under
Workforce
Development
public.
AG
The
purpose
is
to
create
a
positive,
safe,
diverse
and
productive
work
environment
by
ensuring
that
hiring
is
conducted
fairly
and
equitably
and
that
City
policies
and
procedures
are
adhered
to.
We
will
continue
to
provide
guidance
to
departments
for
employee
and
Community
safety.
Some
of
the
bubbles
you
see
up
there.
The
quotes
are
taken
directly
from
the
employee
survey
that
the
city
manager's
office
did
last
year.
AG
Sustainability,
so
implementation
of
an
electronic
applicant
tracking
system
so
that
we
can
eliminate
our
paper-based
applications
and
onboarding
procedures
we're
in
the
process
of
implementing
that
now.
So
it's
it's
coming
down
the
home
stretch,
I'm
pretty
excited
about
that
and
the
second
bullet
there
is
to
continue
to
improve
at
the
digital
storage
of
personnel
files
by
eliminating
the
paper-based
filing
system
and
so
up.
There
I
provided
just
a
picture
of
the
HR
magazine
that
came
out
this
summer.
It's

nice,
good
job,
yeah
and
then
just
to
wrap
it
up
some
fun
pictures
from
our
employee
Wellness,
fair,
this
past
May,
where
we
had
all
kinds
of
vendors
on
site
and
on-site
screenings,
and
you
can
see.
We
also
had
the
hula
hooping
program
that
the
rec
center
offers
come
out
and
you
can
see
the
the
skills
that
some
of
our
employees
have
there.

B
AF
The
following
slides
include
goals
and
objectives,
Council
goals
and
objectives
and
how
our
department
addresses
them.
So
under
Economic
Development
we
try
to
boost
their
local
economy
by
promoting
commercial
and
Industrial
Redevelopment
and
expansion
retain
and
attract.
Businesses
continue
to
collaborate
with

Target

and
Industrial

with
Upper
Tampa
Bay
chamber
for
business
assistance
program
under
infrastructure.
We
encourage
plan
growth
and
infrastructure
upgrades
while
protecting
natural
resources
under
public
relations.
AF
We
coordinate,
efficient
development
review,
Services,
promote
Community
engagement
and
Outreach,
recommend
policies,
Implement
procedures
to
address
change
in
needs
and
encourage
economic
growth
within
the
city
under
transportation.
We
emphasize
safety
for
pedestrians,
bicyclists
and
individuals
with
disabilities.
In
the
Redevelopment
strategy
we
ensure
adequate
traffic
flow
parking,
design
and
access
management
for
new
projects
and
Redevelopment.
We
ensure
and
promote
multimodal
design
for
new
projects
under
Workforce
Development.
We
ensure
appropriate
departmental
staff
training
to
maintain
a
high
level
of
expertise
under
quality
of
place.
AF
We
increase
effort
to
uphold
Community
standards,
also
known
as
code
enforcement,
including
enforcing
signage
regulations
throughout
the
city
and
enforcing
the
Tampa
Road
Corridor
design
plan
standards
under
sustainability.
We
improve
resiliency
by
enforcing
FEMA's
higher
regulatory
standards.
It
implements
additional
activities
to
increase
Community
rating
system
ranking
some
of
the
main
highlights
under
the
general
fund
include
the
20.8.2
decrease.
AF
The
decrease
is
mainly
due
to
the
remaining
fees
to
the
county
for
building
plans
and
review
and
inspection
services
due
to
the
cost
neutrality
under
the
new
and
local
agreement
that
took
place
in
2021,
so
we
still
have
a
few
outstanding
permits
for
which
will
schedule
those
inspections
internally.
But
the
majority
of
the
new
inspections
and
building
plans
are
issued
through
Pinellas
County
directly
and
they
collect
the
fees
and
charge
the
contractor
directly.
Those
building
fees-
and
we
do
not
have
any
fees
that
we
paid
to
the
county
anymore.
So
we
have
the
cost
neutrality.
AF
AH
AH
AH
Another
quality
of
place
respond
to
emergency
incidents
within
seven
minutes,
30
seconds,
90
percent
of
the
time.
This
is
a
Pinellas
County

goal
that
we've
adopted
and
includes
responses
for
Mutual,
Aid
Partners,
so
Safety
Harbor,
palmarities
Lake.
They
respond
when
we're
not
available
inspect.
All
fire
hydrants
annually
perform
annual
fire
inspections
for
33
percent
of
commercial
and
Industrial
businesses.
AH
AH
And
then
just
a
quick
overview
of
some
cost
statistics,
we
do
measure
data
on
a
calendar
year
rather
than
the
fiscal
year
for
consistency
with
Pinellas
County
EMS,
and
it
helps
us
identify
Trends
more
clearly.
You
can
see
our
crews
responded
to
approximately
2200
incidents
in
2022,
it's
a
lot
of
twos
and
as
of
June
30th,
we're
on
track
for
a
similar
count
this
year
and
then
that
below
table
there.
AH
And
then
just
some
quick
budget
highlights
City
expects
to
receive
approximately
588
000
from
Pinellas
County
EMS
Authority,
that's
part
of
our
ALS
first
responder
agreement.
You
guys
approved
that
an
amendment
to
that
coming
up
we'll
approve
that
sorry.
We
also
have
budgeted
for
physical
and
mental
well-being
evaluations
just
over
sixteen
thousand
dollars.
AH
AH
U
Excited
I'm
excited
to
still
be
here:
Daniel
Simpson,
director
of
Public
Works,
first
Technical
Services,
the
technical
services
division
manages
our
city
projects,
infrastructure
and
Engineering.
They
oversee
the
capital
Improvement
program
and
provide
construction
expertise
to
various
departments
and
citizens.
U
You'll
see
in
a
lot
of
in
our
department,
we've
really
tried
to
emphasize
increasing
our
engagement
and
so
I've
had
all
of
our
supervisors
are
expected
to
increase
their
engagement.
This
year,
additionally,
will
coordinate
with
various
departments
to
promote
multimodal
Transportation,
manage
construction
projects
while
maintaining
Grant
compliance,
oversee
completion
of
construction
documents
and
bidding
and
manage
Paving
contracts
and
monitor
and
inspect
existing
roadway
facilities,
maintain
competency
by
training,
Personnel
updating
procedures
and
promoting
cross-discipline
education
and
licensure
so
for
the
general
fund.
U
Generally,
tech
services
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
money
in
their
in
their
division,
because
they're
managing
all
these
projects
and
instruction.
So
the
capital
projects
that
are
in
will
be
in
design
for
at
least
a
portion
of
the
next
fiscal
year
are
the
Douglas
Road
Project
State
Street,
ditch
St
Petersburg
Drive
streetscape,
and
the
roundabout
at
Bayview
and
Saint
Pete
drive.
We
expect
in
construction,
Harbor
Palms
phase
two
and
three
for
a
small
portion
of
next
fiscal
year,
the
wrf
Control
building
and
the
Douglas
Road
Project.
U
U
Next
is
our
streets
division,
the
streets
division
ensures
safe
and
efficient
travel
by
maintaining
City
roads,
sidewalks
and
Rides
Away.
They
remove
debris,
repair,
utility
cuts
and
maintain
traffic
control
signs.
They
also
prepare
banners
and
signs
for
City
events
and
provide
maintenance
and
traffic
for
special
events
and
repairs.
U
We
want
to
oversee
sidewalk
and
curb
replacement,
maintain
street
signs,
inspect
sidewalks
regularly
and
add
Ada
accessible
facilities
within
budget
limitations,
improve
procedures,
train
staff
and
promote
cross-discinal
disciplinary
education
for
skilled
workers.
We're
finding
that
our
best
way
to
have
a
great
resilient
staff
is
to
have
to
develop
the
employees
we
have
so
we're
really
focusing
on
our
department
on
trying
to
train
our
employees.
U
Some
highlights
in
the
streets
fund
on
the
right.
We
have
the
resurfacing
list,
that's
expected
for
next
fiscal
year,
which
is
Pine,
Avenue,
Arlington,
Avenue,
Buckingham,
Avenue,
Oakwood,
Boulevard
and
graybark
drive
most.
Those
are
portions
of
those
streets,
375
thousand
dollars
or
support
in
this
in
this
fund
is
for
electricity.
This
is
where
our
street
lights
are
paid
for,
and
that's
a
large
increase
over
the
last
few
years.
U
U
We've
decreased
Engineering,
Services
to
zero
dollars.
Twenty
thousand
dollars
for
traffic
markings
and
uniform
costs
have
increased
due
to
inflation
and
we're
attempting
to
raise
the
standard
you'll
see
on
the
capitol
outlay.
Nineteen
thousand
for
the
message
board,
that
is,
a
dynamic
Message
Board
we
have
for
events
or
for
roadway
closers.
B
I
will
thank
you
Daniel,
so
Susan
Hurley
couldn't
be
with
us
tonight.
So
the
general
fund,
the
service
program,
the
public
library,
offers
a
diverse
range
of
materials
and
resources,
including
books,
magazines,
audio
books,
digital
media
and
programming
events
to
promote
intellectual
growth,
cultural
awareness
and
lifelong
learning
with
opportunities
for
all
ages.
The
library
really
aims
to
be
a
hub
of
knowledge
and
entertainment,
engaging
and
inspiring
its
patrons.
B
So
some
of
the
goals
that
it
supports
is
the
infrastructure.
You
know
the
building
is
aging,
so
we're
going
to
continue
to
to
maintain
it
and
the
quality
of
place
to
expand
the
services
and
programs
offered
to
library
patrons
and
collaborate
with
other
departments.
Regarding
programming,
we've
really
seen
that
grown
over
the
last
couple
years
of
the
different
kinds
of
programs
that
are
offered
in
the
library
I
think
this
next
slide
is.
B
It
was
surprising
to
me
so
I'm
going
to
tell
you
all
why
it
was
surprising
to
me,
but
55
percent
of
our
circulation
is
still
print,
so
you
know
you
can
see
where
that's
divided
up.
16
is
actually
DVDs,
and
so
12
is
ebooks
and
magazines.
The
digital
newspaper,
if
you
all,
haven't
seen
that
it's
a
variety
of
newspapers,
online,
available
and
e-audio
books,
so
you
know
I
was
surprised
at
how
much
of
the
marketplace
is
still
put
materials.
B
And
so
some
of
the
highlights
of
the
fund
is
shared
funding,
Pinellas,
Public,
Library
Cooperative
is
expected
to
continue
and
they
fund
us
at
about
235
thousand
dollars
for
next
year
and
then
they've
also
added
the
Glazer
Children's
Museum
and
the
collection
on
Palmetto
for
the
museum
pass
program.
Now
those
those
are
active
programs.
Now
these
two
new
ones,
the
collection
on
Palmetto,
is
a
Automobile,
Museum
and
I
understand
they
have
Oldsmobiles.
Is
that.

Let's
kick
that
thing
out:
let's
kick
it
off
a
little
bit
here,
so
we've
got
the
the
perks,
the
Park
Service
program,
so
our
parks
department
maintains
and
beautifies
11
of
parks,
medians
and
City
properties
such
as
City
Hall,
Library
fire
station
right-of-ways,
and
they
also
perform
other
special
projects.
These
maintenance
levels
that
we
have
vary
from
season
to
season,
of
course,
because
of
the
weather
and
that
affects
our
growth
rates.

talked
about
that
earlier
at

we
want,
we
look
to
continue
to
conduct
regular

to
maintain
awareness
of
our
amenities
and
our
structures
and
to
make
those
repairs
as
needed
in

to
public
relations.
We
are
going
to
collaborate
with
the
Leisure

Advisory
Board
this
year
to
conduct
a

that'll
help
us
get

are

they're
actually
doing

go

When
it
comes
to

we
look
to
maintain

and
we'll
continue
to
continue
to
conduct
two
annual
playground
inspections.
We
do
one
in
January
and
we
do
one
in
July
from
a
sustainability
standpoint
to
meet
this
goal,
we're
going
to
continue
to
identify

we'll

disjointed

had
so
many
different

broken

we
want

When
possible.
AI
M
All
right,
moving
on
to
general
fund
contingency
reserve,
so
the
name
of
the
account
kind
of
says
it
all.
These
are
reserves
set
aside
as
contingency
for
unforeseen
emergencies,
unanticipated
items
or
unknown
expenditures
such
as
the
cost
escalations
we've
all
seen
this
year,
but
we
don't
know
what
they're
going
to
be
12
months
from
now
and
as
council
member
Gannon
alluded
to
earlier.
This
would
also
include
be
the
place
where
the
city
would
pull
funding
from
for
a
disaster
or
hurricane
response
should
that
be
needed.
M
The
contingency
reserve
and
general
fund,
as
you
can
see
here,
increased
635
thousand
dollars
to
703
770
for
fiscal
24..
It
is
important
to
note
that,
as
we
begin,
the
current
as
we
began
the
current
fiscal
year,
so
fiscal
23
we've
had
an
original
budget
of
586
505
in
contingency,
so
that
increase
isn't
quite
as
dramatic
when
you
look
at
it.
That
way.
Council
then
approved
use
of
a
part
of
these
a
part
of
these
contingency
funds
during
the
year
to
fund
the
comprehensive
Plan
update,
firefighter
Union
contract
negotiations
and
other
unanticipated
expenses.
M
I
So,
for
example,
the
library
roof
we've
estimated
it
at
180
000
right,
let's
say
construction
costs
have
escalated,
labor
costs
have
escalated.
We
go
to
implement
that
project
this
year,
because
that's
the
plan
right.
Let's
say
it
comes
back
at
200.
Instead
of
180,
it
comes
back
at
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars.
It
comes
out
of
this
right.
Absolutely.
M
I
Amy
and
I
will
talk-
maybe
tomorrow
tomorrow
on
the
next
the
tomorrow
after
tomorrow,
but
that's
really
interesting
and
kind
of
slightly
terrifying
to
me
that
for
fiscal
year,
2223
we're
down
to
68
000
yeah,
because
if
there
was
let's
say
I,
don't
know
an
early
year,
hurricane
or
tropical
storm.
Yes,.
M
W
M
M
I
think
this
kind
of
sheds
light
on
our
efforts
to
kind
of
deal
with
that
uncertainty
and
be
a
little
bit
more
prepared
in
the
future.
So
should
some
of
those
macroeconomic
conditions
improve,
and
should
we
not
have
some
of
those
big
cost
escalations
that
we're
afraid
we
might
it's
not
like
that
money
disappears,
so
any
of
that
unneeded
contingency
reserve
gets
returned
to
general
fund,
as
ought
to
sign,
fund
balance
and
available
for
future
years
so
and
then,
as
part
of
the
charitable
donation
allocation
process.
M
This
evening,
Council
allocated
an
additional
9
500
over
the
original
budget
request
of
75
000..
So
in
addition
to
reducing
your
travel
expenses
by
six
thousand
you'll
see
this
contingency
reserve
amount.
Now
is
going
to
be
decreased
by
about
thirty
five
hundred
dollars
well
by
thirty
five
hundred
dollars.
M
Okay,
so
now
we'll
review
the
city's
other
governmental
funds,
so
we've
gotten
past
the
big
one,
the
general
fund
we're
on
page
134
of
the
budget
book
and
we'll
start
with
the
public
safety
impact
fund.
So
this
fund
is
restricted
for
Capital
expenditures
for
fire
related
Capital
Equipment
and
improvements
impact
fee
revenue
for
this
year's
estimated
at
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
Although
these
fees
are
highly
dependent
on
new
development
during
any
one
fiscal
year,
so
they're
very
hard
to
to
estimate,
as
mentioned,
the
transfer
from
general
fund
was
suspended
for
fiscal
24.
P
M
183
000
in
fiscal
23.,
so
using
current
reserves
of
85
000
excuse
me
appropriate
reserves
of
eighty
five
thousand
dollars
and
and
the
revenue
anticipated
for
20
fiscal
24..
We've
got
a
hundred
and
thirty
five
thousand
dollars

replacement
of

and
the

M

Okay,
so
looking
at
the
revenue
side
for
the
CRA
fund,
we
can
see.
We've
got
four
hundred
thousand
dollars,
budgeted
for
the
city's
portion
of
the
tax,
increment
financing
and
four
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
from
the
counties
portion
and
we'll
be
using
about
1.3
million
dollars
of
appropriate
reserves,
primarily
to
fund
the
cra's
portion
of
the
St
Petersburg
Drive
streetscape
and
drainage
improvements,
project.
M
And
looking
at
the
expenditure
side,
we
can
see
the
vast
majority,
as
I
mentioned
is
going
to
be.
The
cra's
budget
for
24
is
going
to
go
to
capital
outlay
for
that
St,
Pete
Drive
project,
three
percent
of
the
remaining
of
the
budget
will
be
going
to
on
the
director's
salary,
and
eight
percent
will
be
going
to
operating
expenditures.
AF
Oh
Community
Development
agency
fund,
so
under
the
service
program
it
includes
the
continuous
effort.
We
include
continuous
effort
to
pursue
Redevelopment
of
the
city
hall
site.
We
work
on
streetscape
improvements
in
the
CRA.
We
continue
with
the
downtown
Mobility
study
in
coordination
with
forward
Pinellas,
we'll
also
continue
with
safe
routes
to
school
program.
Also,
we
try
to
continue
the
support
of
talent,
Center
code
and
Architectural
design
guidelines
within
the
CRA
and
promote
both
residential
and
business
incentive
programs
within
the
community
redevelopment
District.

Moving
on
to
page
144
in
your
budget
book,
you'll
see
the
harbor
Palms
infrastructure
improvements,
Debt
Service
fund
I'm,
not
going
to
say
that
again,
which
is
used
to
service
the
governmental
portion
of
the
debt
for
streets
and
sidewalks,
restoration
for
phases.
One
and
two
over
the
harbor
Palms
infrastructure
project.
Debt
Service
is
funded
by
transfer
from
general
fund
and
is
secured
not
by
taxes
but
by
Covenant
to
budget
and
appropriate.
M
M
Revenues
include
as
listed
on
the
side,
local
option,
fuel
taxes
which
Fund
in
part
Street
resurfacing
and
sidewalk
improvements
pending
for
Pinellas
funds,
which
are
allocated
to
various
projects,
as
approved
by
council's
Penny
project
allocation
plan,
State
Appropriations,
a
million
dollars
for
the
roundabout
on
St
Pete
drive
and
fiscal
24
and
federal
grants
this
year,
including
one
million
dollars
for
St
Pete
drive
as
well
as
interest
for
Investments
and
again
I'll,
say
it
again.
No
new
debt,
physicals.
M
U
U
This
is
generally
due
to
our
delays
and
our
design
from
our
consultant,
but
the
funding
sources
are
there's
a
3
500.35
3.5
million
dollars
from
state
Florida
grants,
190
000
from
penny
for
Pinellas
and
2.89
million
that
are
from
the
stormwater
Improvement
fund,
but
we're
using
arpa
money
to
pay
for
that.
So
that's
6.58
million
dollars.
L
T
Now
we're
going
to
talk
talk
about
the
the
city's
proprietary
funds
or
Enterprise
funds.
These
include
the
water
and
sewer
operating
fund,
the
water
and
sewer
impact
fund,
the
stormwater
Utility
Fund
and
the
solid
waste
fund.
As
Garrett
noted
earlier,
These
funds
operate
like
business
and
rely
primarily
on
user
fees
to
support
their
operations.
T
First
up,
we
will
take
a
look
at
the
water
and
sewer
fund,
which
is
the
largest
of
the
Enterprise
funds.
This
fund
includes
several
divisions,
including
Finance
utilities,
maintenance,
distribution
and
collection,
Water
Reclamation,
the
RO
facility
and
Environmental
Management.
The
revenue
detail,
we're
looking
at
the
detail,
is
on
page
153
of
your
budget
document.
This
Revenue
chart
clearly
shows
that
the
primary
source
of
Revenue
is
the
user
fees
or
the
charges
for
services
coming
in
at
51
percent,
we
have
intergovernmental
Revenue
at
24,
appropriated
Reserve
at
22
percent
and
miscellaneous
Revenue
at
three
percent.
T
This
is
the
same
information
in
table
format.
We
have
4.25
in
intergovernmental
Revenue,
which
includes
2.1
million
in
arpa
funds
as
well
as
2.1
5
million,
and
the
resilient
Florida
Grant
charges
for
services
is
roughly
9
million.
It
is
important
to
note
here
that
there
is
a
5.5
percent
increase
to
the
water
and
sewer
rates,
which
was
approved
for
fiscal
year
24
as
year,
2
of
a
five-year
rate
schedule
increase.
T
The
rate
schedules
are
structured
to
encourage
water
conservation.
Historically,
this
does
not
result
in
a
corresponding
Revenue
increase
due
to
the
lowered
consumption.
We
are
observing
that
in
the
current
fiscal
year,
therefore,
we
have
only
budgeted
for
about
a
1.3
percent
increase
in
that
overall
Revenue
miscellaneous
revenue
of
458
000
reflects
an
increase
in
projected
investment
earnings,
and
we
have
3.9
million
in
appropriated
Reserve
to
fund
capital
projects
for
a
total
of
17
million
677
960
dollars.
T
T
Y
T
This
is
Page
155
of
your
budget
document,
so
the
finance
division
of
the
administrative
Services
administers,
supervises
and
coordinates
and
controls
the
city's
Financial
activity
and
functions.
It
is
divided
into
four
broad
sections,
including
accounting
procurement,
utility,
billing
and
management
and
budget.
T
The
finance
goals
and
objectives
are
to
manage
finances,
efficiently,
increase
electronic
transactions,
automate
vendor
processes,
improve
contract
management
and
update
risk
management
procedures.
We
look
to
further
improve
the
fixed
asset
auditing
process,
incorporating
GIS
information
as
appropriate,
and
we
strive
to
continue
to
receive
the
gfoa
certificate
for
excellence
in
financial
reporting
and
the
gfoa
distinguished
budget
presentation
award.
T
Some
of
the
finance
division
highlights
include
the
addition
of
a
part-time
customer
service
clerk
in
Utility
Billing.
An
increase
in
computer
support
services,
expense,
which
include
allocated
costs
for
the
annual
Erp
system
maintenance,
including
any
recurring
fees
associated
with
a
new
Erp
system
and
capital
expense,
highlights
include
the
first
phase
of
the
Erp
system.
Implementation,
which
is
expected
at
the
end
of
next
year
and
I
will
hand
it
back
over
to
Daniel
for
the
public
works
portion
of
the
fund.
U
Utility
maintenance,
the
utility
maintenance
division,
provides
mechanical
and
electrical
maintenance
for
the
city's
utilities,
including
lift
stations,
water
treatment
plants
and
Supply
Wells.
They
also
support
other
divisions
and
emergency
situations
with
and
with
electromechanical
expertise
for
projects
and
I.
Believe
that's
a
picture
of
one
of
our
beautiful
Wells.
U
The
goals
and
objectives
for
utility
maintenance
are
to
use
software
and
tools
to
locate
and
maintain
City
assets.
Manage
the
guller
lift
station,
Rehabilitation,

wrf
construction

the
public
details
regarding
how

continue
to

respond
to
resident
requests.
Regarding
customer
questions
regarding
Utility
Services,
complete
annual
preventative
maintenance,
inspection
and
infrastructure
improvements,
as
planned
in
the
CIP
to
ensure
city
services,
are
available.
U
Some
of
the
highlights
for
this
operating
budget.
We
have
26
735
dollars
for
standby
pay.
This
is
a
recommendation
from
the
the
pay
study,
the
twenty
seven
thousand
dollars
for
Lift
Station
electricity,
forty
four
thousand
dollars
for
maintenance
of
pump
stations.
This
has
increased
from
previous
years
because
we're
including
fencing
whenever
we
update
the
the
pump
system
so
we're
going
through
and
replacing
fencing
as
we
do
that,
because.
U
U
We
have
eighteen
thousand
dollars
in
this
fund
for
fuel
costs.
Forty
nine
thousand
dollars
are
budgeted
for
meters,
we've
had
large
increases
in
all
of
our
fittings,
hydrants
and
backflows.
Anything
that's
made
out
of
metal
is
a
lot
more
expensive
than
it
has
been
in
years
previous
on
our
Capital
outlay.
Many
of
these
items
you've
already
seen,
but
some
of
the
ones
that
were
between
2000
and
25
000
on
the
gnss
handheld
receiver,
that
is
the
global
navigation
satellite
system.
U
U
It's
important
that
we
know
where
it
is
so
that
whenever
someone's
digging
we
locate
and
I'll
go
to
the
next.
Another
thing
that
we
have
is
the
pipe
locator
for
eleven
thousand
dollars.
That
is
the
device
that
tells
you
where
it
is
under
the
ground.
So
if
we
don't
have
those
GPS
points,
that's
where
we're
going
and
determining
where
that
pipe
is
I'm
using
ground
penetrating
radar.
U
We
also
have
a
plate.
Compactor,
that's
used
to
compact
soil,
underneath
before
we
put
in
a
pipe,
because
if
you
don't
have
a
compact
soil,
it'll
settle
and
cause
leaks,
and,
finally,
the
trench
box
for
ten
thousand
dollars.
This
is
a
device.
That's
used
to
have
safe
excavations
when
they're
over
four
feet
or
five
feet
so
that
the
wall,
the
walls,
don't
collapse.
In
on
you,
we
have
a
trench
box,
but
we
need
a
smaller
one
for
tighter
spaces.
U
U
Uniform
costs
have
increased
due
to
inflation
and
attempting
to
raise
standard
77
200
are
is
budgeted
in
computer
software.
We're
changing
vendors
in
our
GIS
based
asset
management
work
order
system.
The
current
system
does
not
meet
the
requirements
of
State
mandates,
so
we're
mandated
to
have
in
the
last
few
years
a
GIS
based
asset
management
software
which
we
have
purchased,
but
the
one
we
have
does
not
meet
the
law,
so
we're
changing
vendors.
U
Next
is
the
Water
Reclamation
facility,
the
division
provides
Advanced
wastewater
treatment
for
all
Wastewater
entering
the
Water
Reclamation
facility
produce
high
quality
reclaimed
water
for
the
approximate
1900
reclaimed.
Water
customers
manage
reclaimed
water,
aquifer
storage
well
and
they
meet
or
exceed
the
environmental
regulatory
requirements
of
the
appropriate
state
and
federal
agencies.
U
The
division
will
upgrade
infrastructure
with
projects
budgeted
in
the
capital
Improvement
plan,
including
the
Water
Reclamation
facility,
Control,
building,
aeration
upgrades
the
wrf
master
plan,
filter
expansion,
security
upgrades
and
coordination
of
the
master
plan
project
in
the
CIP
next
maintain
city
services,
with
annual
maintenance
and
improvements,
update
emergency
management
procedures,
optimize
operations
to
control
costs
and
maintain
water
quality
support,
Control,
building
and
filter
expansion
projects.
Minimize
discharge
of
the
Tampa
Bay,
we're
always
trying
to
get
less
water
into
Tampa.
U
U
U
The
Water
Reclamation
facility,
Control
building,
was
re-budgeted
for
fiscal
year
2324
the
project
the
estimate
came
in
much
higher
than
we
were
expecting,
so
2.1
million
dollars
is
being
paid
for
through
arpa
funds.
We
have
a
2.15
million
dollar
State
Grant
and
the
water
and
sewer
operating
fund
is
budgeted
to
spend
2.3
million
in
funding.
Although
we
are
trying
to
get
more
money
from
the
state
to
cover
the
that
that
expense.
U
Division
will
maintain,
upgrade
and
preserve
infrastructure
through
projects
in
the
capital
Improvement
plan,
including
membrane
replacement,
scada
improvements
and
asset
management.
Software
security
efforts
will
continue
to
modernize
and
the
most
recent
master
plan
will
guide
maintenance
and
infrastructure
projects,
so
we're
wrapping
up
our
master
plan
for
that
project.
The
water
supply
plan
next
educate
the
public
on
Utility
Services,
through
campaigns
and
social
media,
provide
annual
consumer
confidence
report
and
respond
to
resident
inquiries
efficiently
and
effectively.
U
So
it's
the
same
justification
we
302
160
is
budgeted
for
electricity,
255
000
in
chemicals
and
both
of
those
have
gone
up
substantially.
In
the
last
few
years,
Engineering
Services,
we
have
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars,
budgeted
to
support
that
support
for
our
scada
system,
which
is
the
computer
system
that
runs
the
plan.
U
U
Goals
and
objectives
are
to
train
staff
on
new
asset
management
software
and
provide
technical
support
for
Public
Works
divisions,
track
progress
of
meter
upgrade
project
ensures
state
and
federal
compliance
with
fuel
chemical
storage
sites
and
Industrial
customers
assistant,
procuring
grants
for
future
capital
projects,
develop
educational
campaigns,
coordinate
with
public
Communications
for
social
media
engagement,
support.
The
annual
consumer
conference
report
rapidly
respond
to
environmental
concerns
and
provide
community
outreach
and
education
for
sustainable
programs.
U
Some
of
the
highlights
we
have
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
budgeted
for
Engineering
Services.
This
includes
budget
for
a
local
limits
assessment.
We
have
to
do
every
20
every
five
years,
which
was
over
25
years,
but
it's
every
five
years.
So
that's
why
there's
an
increase
there
lab
analysis,
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
fifty
dollars.
This
includes
money
for
our
beach
sampling
that
we've
been
doing,
and
five
thousand
for
promotional
activities.
T
T
The
debt
service
accounts
for
the
principal
and
interest
for
debt
related
to
the
water
and
sewer
system
improvements.
This
debt
is
related
to
the
construction
of
the
RO
plant.
It
was
refinanced
in
2021
and
it
it
retires.
In
2032,
for
fiscal
year
2324
we
have
a
budgeted
Debt
Service
of
474
605
dollars.
T
The
city
has
a
reserve
in
the
water
and
sewer
fund
to
provide
for
future
renewal
and
replacement
of
capital
assets
and
infrastructure
for
fiscal
year.
23
24
500
000
has
been
budgeted
to
this
Reserve
account.
We've
also
talked
a
lot
tonight
about
the
importance
of
having
a
contingency
reserve,
starting
in
2324,
a
new
contingency
reserve.
Account
will
be
established
in
the
water
and
sewer
fund,
specifically
for
unanticipated
expenses
and
cost
escalations
that
may
arise
throughout
the
year.
Just
over
a
hundred
and
eighty
two
thousand
has
been
budgeted
in
this
new
account.
T
The
revenue
received
by
this
fund
is
highly
dependent
on
new
development
during
the
year
and
any
savings
needed
for
assistance
with
projects
related
to
system
expansion
would
typically
be
transferred
to
the
water
and
sewer
fund.
As
you
can
see,
there's
no
expense
or
transfers
anticipated
for
fiscal
year
2324.
All
the
revenue
we
receive
and
this
impact
fund
will
be
saved
for
future
projects.
The
total
proposed
budget
is
ninety
four
thousand.
T
T
We
skipped
to

book
and
we
can
review
quickly

We
will
continue
to

U
Some
budget
highlights
there's
a
rate

scheduled
in

year
24.
it's
two

there.

F
U
Daniel,
okay,
the
next
one
is

This
is
a
guard
to
go
over

or
break

our
machine,
really
the
hydraulic
grapple
claw.
This
is
a
device
that
goes
on
our
what's
it
called
I'm.

Let's
get
steer
and
that
will
help
us
to
pick
up
branches
in
the
street
and
move
them
quickly,
especially
in
a
hurricane.
Next
is
the
landscape
trailer.
This
is
a
we.
We
have
our
Mower
and
our
weed
eaters.
We
want
to
load
up
a
trailer
and
have
it
ready
to
deploy
to
make
our
operation
more
efficient.

On
this
breakout,
we
can
see
an
increase
expected
for
insurance
at
50
percent,
as
well
as
an
increase
in
the
expense
allocation
again,
3.2
million
dollars
and
the
service
program
for
the
solid
waste
division
provides
collection,
removal
and
disposal
of
all
residential,
commercial
and
Municipal
garbage
and
trash.
It
coordinates
the
single
stream
recycling
program
for
the
city
and
all
its
residents.
The
highlights
include
include
that
this
is
the
third
year
of
a
five-year
contract
and
again
there
are
no
rate
changes
planned
for
fiscal
year.

wonderful,.

AF
B
Program
together
for
the
council,
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
the
careful
consideration
of
the
of
the
budget.
You
know
this
is
this
is
hard
work
and
so
I
I.
Thank
you
guys
for
for
for
investing
all
the
time
that
you
have
and
studying
all
these
issues
and
challenges.
So
if
you
all
don't
have
any
questions,
I
have
some
final
wrap-up
things
any.
A
B
So
you
know
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
present,
and
then
we
have
next
steps
so
I.
The
next
steps
are
we're
going
to
revise
the
budget
based
on
your
changes
and
we're
going
to
re-budget
Douglas
Road
right.
So
we're
going
to
do
that
and
then
September
5th.
We
have
two
public
hearings.
We
have
one
for
the
military
to
establish
4.05
and
then
we
have
one
to
establish
the
24
tentative
budget
and
then
there's
also
an
item
to
raise
the
stormwater
fees.
B
I
We
made
it
this
far.
I
know
it
was
the
last
topic
but
for
solid
waste
if
we're
on
the
third
year
of
a
five-year
contract.
If
that
goes
out
to
bid
again,
perhaps
we
should
look
at
a
rate
increase,
just
a
thought.
You
know
the
only
reason
I
bring
it
up
is
because
there's
a
there's
a
trend
right,
so
we
have
done
you
guys.
This
is
this
is
an
amazing
amazing
document
setting
up
a
contingency
in
water,
sewer,
brilliant,
whoever,
like?
I
Thank
you
brilliant
everything
from
the
name
changes
the
Personnel
shifts
to
plan
for
the
future,
the
documents
obviously
graphically
beautiful
as
well
then
always
presented
with
such
passion
and
pride.
You
know
the
fact
that
we're
all
here,
it's
almost
11
o'clock
and
you
guys
are
all
laughing
with
each
other
and
just
so
proud.
It's.
I
It
fills
my
fills
my
cup
as
my
little
guy
would
say
so.
This
trend,
though
we
were
looking
at
all
of
our
fees
for
services,
we're
looking
at
all
of
our
rates,
we've
adjusted
them.
We
are
adjusting
them
to
where
we're
statutorily
allowed
to
and
debts
still
expensive
and
our
fees
from
you
know,
services
and
other
governmental
transfers
aren't
going
up
anymore.
I
But
at
some
point
we
have
to
confirm
we
have
to
confront
this
right,
so
you
know
and
I
think
we're
only
please
God
no,
but
we're
only
like
one
disaster
away
from
from
confronting
it
right.
So
I
think
this
is
fantastic.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
dedication,
I
I
appreciated
everybody's
subjective
comments
about
their
Department
as
well.
It's
just
so
much
passion
and
pride.
I
love
it.
Thank
you
guys.
Vice.
A
R
Y
A
Just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Garrett,
you
know
taking
over
for
Cindy.
While
she
couldn't
be
here,
you
guys
all
did
a
great
job
Chief
you
hanging
out
with
us
tonight,
I
can't
believe
it
that's
good
for
you,
but
in
in
the
chamber.
Thank
you
for
hanging
out
with
us,
and
we
appreciate
that
I
think
the
council
all
appreciates
that
you're
here
and
again:
City
staff
and
Felicia.
Thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
I've
got
an
early
meeting,
I'm
tired
anyone
else,
tired
all
right
anything
else
for
the
record.
