Regular City Council Meeting 3-3-2021 a

I
Lisa
hannah's
owning
official,
I'm
back
so
again.
We
are
looking
for
council
direction
on
how
you
want
us
to
incorporate
this
in
either
the
event
manual
in
the
event
application
process,
if
we
need
to
take
it,
take
a
like
a
market-based
approach,
where
the
rental
fee
structure
will
help,
maybe
not
eliminate
but
limit
the
number,
because
if
you're
charging
somebody
to
use
the
street,
they
may
not
be
asking
every
weekend
to
use
the
stream.
I
B
Guys
well,
first
of
all,
I
think
a
fee
schedule
that
incorporates
all
these
different
events
is
appropriate
and
it
should
be
in
place
because
that
will
that'll
regulate
it
by
itself.
If
the,
if
they
have
to
be
reasonable
fees,
but
not
everybody
will
think
well,
can
I
do
it
every
week
with
the
fee
schedule.
C
A
A
A
Now,
with
the
department
of
revenue,
if
a
an
event
wants
to,
I
think
it's
alcohol
they
want
to
have
alcohol,
they
have,
they
get
a
non-profit
to
go,
apply
for
the
the
the
alcohol
permit,
and
so
it's
it's
that
kind
of
thing,
and
I
don't
want
to
see
us
put
some
something
in
place
that
would
encourage
businesses
to
partner
with
non-profits.
So
the
non-profit
is
then
doing
all
the
work
in.
I
We
actually
excuse
me,
we
do
have
something
it
is
in
our
event
manual
when
it
is
a
joint
joint
event,
for
that
is
a
for-profit
and
not-for-profit
joint
event
into
any
rental
fees.
Right
now,
in
the
parks
go
by
the
for-profit
rate,
unless
they
are
a
501c3,
they
don't
get
the
well
a
hundred
dollars
a
day
in
the
in
the
park,
if
they're
a
501,
36
or
c6
or
something
they
will
get
a
non-profit
rate,
we
have
the
non-profit,
for-profit
and
then
the
501c3.
A
J
F
F
What
what
harbor
social
tried
to
do
was
very
disruptive
to
some
of
our
businesses,
and
I
think
we've
got
to
take
a
stronger
stance
against
that
sort
of
thing.
We've
got
to
be
more
proactively
protective
of
our
existing
businesses,
and
I
know
that
you
know
we
do
not
want
to
discourage
in
any
way
bans
and
events
and
keeping
our
downtown
thriving,
but
we
cannot
do
it
on
the
backs
of
the
little
guys.
G
I
would
agree
with
that.
I
think.
First
of
all,
I
don't
want
to
be
having
these
discussions
once
a
month
every
single
month,
because
somebody's
coming
in
for
a
permit
to
close
the
street.
I
think
this
is
ridiculous
and
it's
a
waste
of
our
time.
It's
a
waste
of
staff's
time
and
we've
already
made
our
statement
about
what
we
felt
about
it
and
you
know
we're
gonna.
We're
gonna
continue
to
have
this
happen
until
we
set
a
policy
from
and
put
it
in
place
and
enforce
it.
G
We're
not
gonna
stop
this,
so,
yes,
I
do
think
we
should
put
a
rental
fee
for
closing
the
street
in
place.
I
think
we
should
put
a
security
deposit
fee
in
place
for
closing
the
streets
and
if,
if
the
street
is
replaced
back
to
the
original
condition
at
the
end
of
the
event,
they
get
their
security
deposit
back.
I
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
We've
already.
I
received
a
backhanded
threat
about
the
last
permit
request
that
they
would
come
back
and
ask
for
a
non
non-profit
permit
to
close
the
street.
D
G
I
don't
appreciate
a
threat,
I
think
that's
inappropriate,
it's
unprofessional
and
it
it
borders
on
whether
it's
even
unethical
and
I
would
not
support
an
event
permit
for
that
location.
Just
because
of
that,
because
you
don't
threaten
the
city
council
that,
if
you're
not
going
to
approve
it
for
the
for-profit
business,
that
you're
going
to
come
back
and
have
it
be
a
not-for-profit
event.
That's
not
okay,
and
I
agree
with
debbie
about
you-
know,
closing
the
the
streets
for
to
the
disruption
of
other
businesses.
G
I
think
that's
wrong,
and
you
know,
even
in
the
event
of
the
sullivan
street
craft,
fair,
all
the
other
businesses
on
that
street
can
continue
doing
their
business
and
in
fact
they
thrive
when
the
the
street
fair
is
going
on.
So
you
know,
and
the
same
with
the
block
party
for
that
matter,
all
those
businesses
are
open.
So
I
do
think
I
do
think
we
need
to
set
a
policy
about
what
we're
going
to
charge
for
a
street
closure.
I
think
we
need
to
set
a
limit
on
the
number
of
times
per
year.
G
H
And
I
think
that's
you
know,
hence
the
issue
when
you
say
how
many
times
they
can
do
it,
how
do
you
define
they,
and
you
know,
one
of
the
things
that
have
been
kicked
around
is
who's
the
principal
beneficiary
of
the
closure.
Is
it
the
general
public
or
is
the
general
public
that
can
access
a
private
entity
right?
So
there
has
to
be
some
fine
line
there
of
definition.
G
Well,
and
just
to
some
extent,
the
the
farmer's
market
is
grandfathered,
because
they've
been
doing
that
for
how
many
years
and
sullivan
street
craft
fair
the
same
and
the
block
party
beyond
that
I'd.
You
know,
I
think
any
street
closure
the
business
should
apply
for
a
permit
and
and
pay
a
deposit.
A
street
closure
policy.
G
D
H
F
B
B
D
G
B
D
B
I
Businesses
most
likely
not
but
like
the
the
puna
gorda
block
parties,
not
for
profit,
the
punta
gorda
chamber,
with
the
sullivan
street
arts
and
craft
shares,
not
our
show
is
not
for
profit.
So
we
we
revamped
what
we
had
before
we
put
the
category
one
non-profit.
We
were
looking
at
five
hundred
dollars
a
day.
Category
two
for
for-profit
is
750
a
day.
I
Those
are
again
we'll
we'll
have
to
bring
back
a
resolution
for
you
to
adopt
any
fees,
a
cleaning
damage
deposit
of
one
thousand
dollars,
and
that
would
be
for
anybody
profit
or
not
for
profit.
Any
maintenance,
a
traffic
fee
we're
going
to
do
actual
cost,
we're
not
going
to
put
any
type
of
estimate,
that's
going
to
be
an
actual
cost
that
is
invoiced
by
our
public
works
department
and
that
it
would
be
due
two
weeks
prior
to
the
event
doing
payable
again
all
city
services,
such
as
police
fire,
those
are
invoiced.
I
Those
are
already
in
place
in
our
event
manual,
just
the
street
rental.
We
can
change
the
street
rental
fees,
how
you
see
fit,
raise
it
lower
it
again.
If
it's
a
joint
for
profit,
slash
not
for
profit,
we
go
by
the
for
profit
rate.
We
have
that
in
our
manual
right
now,
and
we
can
include
that
now
previously,
when
we
had
it
in
place.
I
At
that
time
the
farmer's
market
was
exempted,
but
now
the
farmer's
market
pays
an
annual
rental
fee
and
they
do
their
own
maintenance
of
traffic.
What
staff
would
had
put
out
there
was
that
all
of
those
be
exempted
from
street
rental
fees.
However,
if
if
needed,
maintenance
of
traffic
and
any
city
staff
services,
of
course,
would
be
paid
by
those
entities,
the
sullivan
street
arts
and
craft
fair,
they
do
pay
for
police
police
services
because
they
direct
traffic.
I
A
I
It's
a
it's
an
annual
permit.
We
we
usually
do
the
chamber,
we
let
them
put
in
their
four
event,
permits
at
one
time
and
send
it
through
drc.
It's
it's
very
simple.
They
work
with
police
fire
with
what
they
need.
They
work
with
public
works
for
their
maintenance
traffic
needs
that
one
has
been
going
on
so
long.
I
F
I
A
F
A
G
I
think
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
covid
and
people
are
were
thinking
at
one
point:
they
weren't
going
to
have
the
event
because
of
covid,
and
now
that
things
are
starting
to
open
up
a
little
bit
more
and
people
are
being
vaccinated.
There's
a
lot
more
people
coming
forward
at
the
11th
hour
and
saying:
oh
guess
what
and
you
know
mariners
just
did
this
my
boat
club,
they
just
announced
last
week
that
they
want
to
have
the
annual
regatta,
which
is
the
first
week
of
april.
I
And
that
is,
that
is
a
good
point.
That
is
a
good
point.
They
did
when
we
canceled
all
the
events
last
year.
Their
annual
event
is
usually
in
march,
so
that
was
cancelled,
so
they
had
one
in
december.
They
wanted
to
see
how
that
went,
kind
of
do
their
tallies
and
everything.
So
then
they
were
like
okay,
we're
going
to
have
it
again
in
march.
So
would
you.
I
F
F
J
If
they're
dependent
on
a
band
or
something
confirming
I
I
don't
want
us
to
tie
ourselves,
we
just
make
ourselves
so
we're
not
so
event
friendly.
That's
one
thing
that
we
live
on
and
I
I
think
there
are.
There
are
situations
where
final
confirmation
may
be
within
that
window,
say
45
days
or
so,
where
you
may
not
know,
and
I
mean
that's
just
part
of
the
reality
of
planning
events.
Is
you
may
not
have
a
solidly
planned
event
60
days
out.
J
That's
but
I
mean,
but
if
you
really
plan
events,
you
may
not
actually
file
until
you
know
you
have
your
event
ready.
I
just
don't
want
us
to
tighten
that's
reality
like
I
have
an
event
right
now,
playing
for
may
and
one
for
july,
we're
going
to
postpone
july.
We're
going
to
keep
to.
May
it
really
is
flexible
depends
on
availability.
This
is
this
is
this
is
reality
is
that
things
have
to
be?
I
think
I
mean
I
think
we
should
have
our
strong.
J
G
I
Yeah,
do
you
want
to
assess
a
late
application
fee
if,
if
they're
30
days
or
less
60
days,
you
have
a
50
application
fee?
If
you
turn
it
in
30
days
before
the
event,
it's
a
75
application
fee
because
we
do
have
to
rush
it
through
I'm.
Just
we
can
make
that
part
of
our
resolution
with
our
fee
structure
that
comes
back.
F
I
D
H
D
I
A
I
I
F
I
Well,
okay,
so
they
cause
some
disruption,
but
all
those
businesses
were
still
accessible.
You
could
access
those
businesses
off
of
red
onto
solomon
street.
They
did
not
close
the
ingress
egress
for
the
landsberg
bennett
building.
They
didn't
close
the
alleyway
between
their
business
and
the
women's
club
and
the
women's
club
was
still
accessible.
I
It
may
have
caused
somebody
to
have
to
do
a
detour,
but
they
were
they
were
not
not
accessible.
So
I
understand,
while
the
noise
may
have
been
a
disruption
or
somebody
might
have
had
to
do
a
detour,
we
do
the
same
with
the
block
party,
sullivan
street
arts
and
craft
fair.
It's
not
oh
there's
nothing
except
the
sun
loft
center
parking
garage
is
the
only
thing
that
is
open.
I
F
F
I
think
our
women's
club
is
one
of
the
true
gems
in
this
city
and
she's,
not
in
very
good
shape
right
now,
and
it
would
not
take
a
lot
for
her
to
burn
to
the
ground,
and
I
am
really
worried
that
a
fire
contingency
trying
to
get
in
there
to
put
out
a
fire
would
be
severely
hampered
by
sullivan
street.
Being
that
closed,
I
mean
you
know,
sullivan
street
market.
You
can
still
drive.
If
you
had
to,
you,
could
still
get
an
ambulance
through
there.
F
You
could
not
with
a
band
set
up
in
the
middle
of
this.
This
you
couldn't
put
a
fire
truck
through
there
and
I
guess
I'm
thinking
worst
case
scenario
of
one
of
our
treasures
of
our
city.
I
think
we're
putting
it
at
a
tremendous
risk
and
honestly
they
would
have
to
back
up
the
fire
truck
to
get
it
out
of
there,
because
there's
no
way
you
could
get
a
fire
truck
through
that
alley.
A
A
Saying
well,
and
we
could
even
make
it
a
part
of
our
requirement
that,
even
though
you
know-
and
I
respect
jen
mullen
our
fire
marshal
she's
does
a
fabulous
job,
even
though
the
drc
may
say
you
know
yes,
but
that
day
what
happens
is
people
do
go
park?
Is
I
think
what
debbie
is
saying
so
we
could.
We
could
state
that
there
can
all
that.
A
G
H
A
F
A
I
F
I
F
I
I
G
A
I
guess
I
would
like
to
then
see
what
does
it
cost?
What
what
does
this
cause
staff
in
the
way
of
of
any
kind
of
cost
to
the
city?
To
do
that,
so
that
it
may
be
a
minimal
cost
to
the
business
when
it's
an
alley
versus
a
city
street
that
people
actually
go
down
all
the
time,
and
not
not
that
I
haven't
driven
down
that
alley.
D
D
H
G
G
G
B
I
F
I
E
G
G
I
F
I
Even
if
they
are
yes,
so
if,
if
that
business
is
adjacent
to
that
right
away,
that
they're
cl
they're
requesting
to
close,
even
if
they're
doing
it
in
concert
with
a
non-profit,
it
goes
toward
that
business
right.
So
it
would
be
charged
toward
that
event
would
be
charged
toward
that
business
and
it
would
be
at
the
for-profit
rate.
A
D
I
A
G
E
G
I
think
we
want
to
really
discourage
street
closures
as
much
as
possible.
It's
the
same
thing
with
the
harbor
walk
by
the
way
when
we
have
a
lashley
park
event,
I
mean
we,
we
had
a.
We
had
a
very
strict
policy
for
the
longest
time
that
we
wouldn't
allow
the
closure
of
the
harbor
walk
while
an
event
was
going
on
in
lashley
park,
and
then
we
started
getting
all
these
requests
and
every
event
that
was
going.
There
said,
oh
well,
we
have
to
have
the
sidewalk
closed.
G
Well,
we
then
revised
our
statements
to
say
when
we
have
an
event
that
has
a
band
and
security
and
all
kinds
of
other
things
they
have
to
fence
the
area
in
then
we
may
consider
allowing
them
to
close
the
harbor
walk,
but
they
have
to
come
up
with
an
alternative
path
for
people
to
take
that
won't
be
able
to
use
the
harbor
walk
during
that
event.
So
you
know
there
are
rules
that
we
have
to
kind
of
be
be
consistent
about,
and
I
think
that's
this
is
one
of
them.
H
C
A
A
They
did
resume
it
in
2020,
but
it
actually
started.
It
may
have
been
the
end
of
2014
when
they
actually
started,
because
I
remember
when
I
had
pneumonia
going
out,
my
husband
had
to
go
out
and
sit
outside
on
our
pool
deck
and
watch
across
the
canal
where
there
were
vacant
lots
and
I
could
watch
them
actually
replacing
the
poles.
So
I.
C
C
The
then
city
engineer
mark
gearing
myself
we
had
written,
I
believe
john
lebeau
also
we'd
written
letters
and
communicated
with
fpnl
and
today,
where
we're
at
is
fpnl
puts
in
the
new
poll
and
then
they
notify
comcast
and
the
phone
company.
Well,
I
must
speak
in
generality
of
punta
corals,
because
I
think
this
is
mostly
where
the
problem
is
that
we're
discussing
today,
most
of
the
phone
is
underground
in
comcast.
C
So
he
gave
me
a
number
of
they
have
completed
119
polls
that
comcast
has
they
call
them
abandoned
polls
of
123
that
they're,
aware
of
so
comcast,
has
taken
most
of
their
hardware
off
of
the
whole
polls.
That
they're,
aware
of
and
again
I'm
talking
about
the
ponder
isles
area
in
general
for
this
discussion,
so
comcast
has
notified
fpl
of
these
polls
being
abandoned
and
I
did
a
quick
count.
The
other
day
I
didn't
it
wasn't
precise,
but
it
was
over
100
poles
that
were
abandoned,
that
that,
in
my
opinion,
could
be
removed.
C
C
Yes,
there
are
some
there.
There
are
some
fp
and
those
poles
the
difference
of
the
119
to
the
123..
I
do
know
during
my
tour
I
did
see
there
were
still
some
transformers
on
some
poles
with
jumper
wires.
If
you
will
over
to
the
to
the
new
poles,
but
the
majority,
the
vast
majority
are
abandoned
and
and
could
be
pulled.
C
G
Thank
you,
and
I
know
you
went
on
a
tour
with
the
utility
folks
a
few
months
back
and
went
all
around
the
city
and
made
a
list
of
all
the
locations
that
needed
to
be
fixed.
So
to
speak,
and-
and
I
have
I
I
know-
I
speak
at
least
for
myself-
I
have
had
no
less
than
75
or
80
emails
phone
calls,
in-person
discussions
with
people
that
are
just
livid
over
the
fact
that
all
these
polls
are
still
sitting
out
there.
Properties
have
not
been
returned
to
their
original
condition.
G
My
property
is
one
of
them
by
the
way
it
took
me
well
over
a
year
to
have
them
come
out
and
take
the
redundant
poll
out
and
first
of
all,
we
had.
It
took
forever
to
get
comcast
to
even
answer
a
phone
call
and
then,
when
comcast
finally
did
come,
they
moved
the
wires
to
the
new
poll,
and
then
all
these
wires
were
hanging
in
the
breeze
which
still
is
occurring.
G
They
chopped
down
a
bunch
of
trees
that
they
thought
were
going
to
be
in
their
way.
They
wanted
to
take
one
of
my
trees
down,
which
was
18
feet
into
my
yard
off
the
street,
and
my
husband
refused
to
let
them
take
the
tree
down.
So
what
did
they
do?
They
came
and
they
shaved
it
straight
up
and
down
and
they
destroyed
the
front
half
of
the
tree.
I'm
surprised
the
tree
actually
lived,
but
they
did
that
all
over
the
place
and
they
left
tree
stumps
all
over.
G
The
place
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
properties
that
have
tree
stumps.
Not
only
do
we
have
now
hanging
wires,
we've
got
duplicate
poles
and
some
of
which
are
leaning,
it's
a
very
dangerous
and
very
unsightly
mess
and
I'm
very
upset
with
the
way
that
they
have
not
followed
through
and
short
of
making
a
threat
to
them.
I
don't
know
what
else
we
can
do,
but
maybe
try
to
send
a
letter
on
behalf
of
everybody
from
the
council
and
the
city
of
punta
gorda
and
and
getting
a
little
more
assertive
about
asking
them
to
get.
G
A
I
got
a
response
from
them,
so
I
think
it
would
be
advisable
that
we
have
this
problem.
I
know
from
experience
when
they
did
do
start.
The
hardening
project
in
burnt
store
isles
that
we
experienced
the
same
situation
that
the
duplicate
polls
sat
there
for
months
and
residents
emailed
me
and
commented.
When
are
they
going
to
remove
this?
It
took
forever
for
the
comcast
to
transfer
the
the
service
and
again
I
don't
think
they
ever
totally
finished
it.
A
G
Well,
in
the
beginning,
they
didn't
even
call
comcast
to
tell
comcast
they
had
to
come
and
move
their
wires.
I
was
in
a
meeting
about
the
burnt
store
underground
wiring
and
they
had
already
started
the
project
in
in
the
bird
section
in
pgi
and
comcast
knew
nothing
about
the
hardening
projects.
They
had
absolutely
no
knowledge
that
they
had
to
come
through
and
move
their
wires
and
they
were
like.
Oh,
we
do.
Nobody
told
us
that
so
there's
been
a
total
lack
of
communication.
G
A
A
The
situation
because,
when
they
transfer
the
the
wires
from
the
comcast
to
the
new
pole,
as
you
described,
they're,
not
actually
finishing
the
job
of
of,
and
that
is
compounded
by
the
fact
that
when
residents
themselves
want
service,
they're,
not
finishing
the
job,
so
we
have
tons
of
these
hanging
poles
or
hanging
wires
cables
all
over
the
place
and
in
bsi
as
you're
aware
that
there's
been
a
volunteer.
That's
kind
of
documented
all
of
this
and
we're
have
we're
still
having
problems
getting
that
resolved.
So.
G
G
Okay,
so
that
we'll
write
a
letter
to
the
utility
companies
on
behalf
of
the
city
council
and
the
city
of
punta
gorda
residents,
and
ask
for
more
immediate
action
to
be
taken
to
follow
through
and
get
this
project
done
in
the
places
that
have
already
been
hardened
and-
and
maybe,
if
that
doesn't
get
any
extra
activity
happening,
then
we
write
to
the
utilities.
Commission.
I
give
these
guys
one
more
shot
because
I've
I'm
kind
of
blue
in
the
face
talking
about
it
with
people,
and
I
really
I
have.
G
H
G
Am
very
happy
to
see
it
done
in
this
format.
Now
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
all
the
years
I've
been
on
council.
This
is
an
easily
trackable
monitorable
way
of
going
about
getting
things
done
every
year
and
it's
not
just
oh
we're
going
to
upgrade
our
computer
system.
It's
you
know
it's.
This
is
more
defined
and
it
gives
you
trackable
goals
that
you
can
attain,
and
it
will
help
us
a
lot
when
it
comes
to
the
time
of
the
year
when
we
have
to
do
an
annual
review.
G
I
think
this
is
something
that
will
help
all
of
us
and-
and
I've
also
asked
karen
if
she
would
produce
the
action
register
for
the
clerk's
office
like
we're
getting
from
other
parts
of
the
city
and
from
the
city
attorney,
because
I
think
that
will
help
us
on
an
ongoing
basis
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
what's
going
on
internally
in
the
department.
So
I
I'm
very
happy
with
what
I
see
okay.
So
anybody
have
any
other
comments.
B
G
K
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
I
appreciate
the
input
that
I
received
from
each
of
you
and
which
resulted
in
this
list,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
helpful
for
us
to
not
only
to
prioritize
our
projects
but
to
get
them
accomplished
in
the
time
frame,
and
I
think
we
have
a
challenging
year
ahead
with
the
with
the
move
and
everything
else.
So
this
thank
you.
Okay.
Moving
on
to
boards
and
committees,
then,
under
vacancies
board
of
zoning
appeals,
we
have
two
vacancies
for
alternates.
The
burn
store
aisles
canal
advisory
committee.
K
We
have
one
unexpired
term,
the
building
board.
We
have
one
vacancy
for
an
alternate
historic
preservation,
advisory
board.
We
now
have
another
regular
seat
and
two
alternates
on
that
board:
utility
advisory
board.
We
have
one
unexpired
term,
general
employees,
pension
board,
an
unexpired
term,
firefighters,
pension
board,
one
two
year:
term
donation
review
committee.
We
have
a
vacancy
for
a
representative
of
a
local
nonprofit
concerned
with
the
history
of
pentagorda.
K
G
G
Okay,
under
policy
and
legislation.
I
don't
have
a
whole
lot
to
talk
about
this
week.
The
legislature
went
into
session
on
tuesday
this
week
and
so
we're
looking
forward
to
hearing
some
good
things.
Hopefully
we'll
not
not
have
a
lot
of
bad
things
happen
in
this
legislative
session,
but
stay
tuned
there's
more
to
come.
I
think
the
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
we're
looking
at
is
the
the
short-term
rentals
that
that
forever
plagues
all
of
us.
So
that's
going
to
be
a
very
big
item
on
their
agenda
this
year.
D
G
J
Yes,
one
one
quick
thing:
this
is
one
of
the
things
that's
come
up
during
session
this
year.
There
are
two
legislators
in
orlando
that
want
to
make
the
imagination
emancipation
day
holiday
of
texas,
the
date
for
florida,
and
so
all
the
cities
are
actually
just
writing
letters
of
support
to
support
this.
The
senate
not
going
forward
with
this
in
florida
may
20th
is
the
day
of
emancipation.
This
is
when
it
was
done
in
texas,
there's
a
holiday
called
juneteenth,
which
is
texas,
only
it's
not
even
a
national
holiday,
because
they're.
J
I
just
wanted
us
to
be
able
to
just
write
a
letter
of
support
of
being
historically
correct
and
in
regard
to
pinea
gorda
from
the
very
beginning,
from
the
first
decade
of
the
1900s
we
actually
used
to
have
parades
here
for
that
day.
So
it's
just
to
be
consistent
with
the
history
he's
just
asking
for
that.
A
So
jahan
I
went
to
the
tourist
development
council
meeting
on
the
12th
and
was
not
a
very
long
meeting,
but
it
was
giving
us
reports
that
the
tourism
in
charlotte
county
is
doing
well
relatively
speaking,
compared
to
what's
around
us.
We
kind
of
seem
to
be
this
island,
and
so
we
are
blessed
that
people
are
coming
here
because
they
feel
safe.
It's
we're
not
a
metropolitan
city.
A
Things
are
outside,
so
people
are
are
coming
here
and
to
charlotte
county,
and
so
our
we're.
We
are
really
doing
well
and
does
an
example,
the
pickleplex
in
the
month
of
january
and
beginning
of
february.
So
it
was
really
just
in
a
short
period
of
time
created
over
two
million
dollars
in
economic
impact
for
charlotte
county
just
for
the
two
tournaments
that
they
had.
A
So
it
was
significant
and
that
that
actually
was
they
were
the
ones
who
actually
generated
all
of
the
tourist
development
council's
economic
impact
for
the
months
of
january
and
february.
So
but
that
was
really
what
was
discussed
and
they
did
discuss
short-term
rental
and
and
it's
it's
conflicting
for
jahan.
And
I
because
the
there
are
a
number
of
people
on
the
tourist
development
council
who
are
really.
A
Short-Term
rental
people,
and
so
they
they
like
the
more
short-term
rentals
the
better
because
they
that's
what
they
do.
And
so
I
had
to
say
that
it's
and
they
wanted
to
have
the
tourist
development
council
provide
support
legislatively-
and
I
said
well,
it's
a
problem
for
johanna
because
we're
on
the
other
side
of
that
coin.
So
we
had
to
and
we
had
st-
and
we
said
why.
So
we
did
not
support
it.
So,
but
it
was
a
good
meeting
so
good.
F
Thank
you
debbie.
Well,
I
didn't
go
to
the
pentagon
or
public
housing
meeting,
because
the
attorney
general
of
the
state
was
in
town
to
congratulate
our
police
department,
and
I
opted
to
go
to
that
and
I
think
my
one
takeaway
from
it
was
that
she
was
surprised
that
there
was
anybody
there
from
city
council.
So
I
wonder
I
wonder
what
the
rest
of
the
cities
are
doing
when
she
shows
up,
but
it
was.
