F
Good
morning,
good
morning,
Nicole
Travis
administrative
development,
Economic
Opportunity
and
interim
CRA
director,
you
have
received
some
several
memos
of
items
to
continue.
We
can
run
through
those
now,
if
you
would
like
and
soon
let's
see,
item
number
seven
staff
is
asking
for
a
continuance
to
the
February
9
2023
meeting
question.
C
Okay,
I
have
a
motion
from
board
member
Maniscalco
in
a
second
from
board
member
Carlson
board
member
Goods.
G
Item
number
seven,
thank
you,
I
think
miss
me
and
myself,
drumko
and
Mr
McRae
did
have
a
discussion
about
the
focal
point
where
we
need
to
go
with
this
I
think
that
was
we're
all
kind
of
got
on
the
same
page
that
we
were
off
the
page
a
little
bit
but
I
think
now
we're
back
on
the
page
or
how
we
need
to
move
this
particular
program
and
what
I'm
looking
for
and
what
the
community
is.
Looking
for.
G
Reference
to
jobs
dealing
with
this
issue
here,
so
I
look
forward
to
that
report
and
I
guess
from
the
recruiting
department
with
the
folks.
You
talked
about
so
looking
forward
to
hearing
that.
H
C
B
Right,
oh
actually,
yes,.
C
So
we
already
made
the
motion
so
all
in
favor
all.
F
C
G
Let
me
you
know
we
had
a
situation
with
Silver
Oaks
again
about
30
people
with
a
situation
over
there.
It
could
be
in
a
couple
of
weeks-
and
you
know,
leases
are
ending
at
the
end
of
20
centers
a
month.
So
I
know
this
won't
help
right
now,
but
going
forward.
Let's
make
sure
that
it's
probably
that
we
have
looking
for
housing.
Let's
keep
critical.
F
Yes,
sir,
we
continue
to
use
all
the
different
tools
that
we
have
in
our
toolkit
towards
our
housing
affordability,
crisis,
and
this
one
was
a
heavy
lift
and
Mr
drumko
is
working
with
our
real
estate
team
to
map
and
also
work
through
the
Community
Land
Trust
bylaws,
and
the
details
related
to
that.
So
thank.
G
You
as
it
relates
to
real
estate
department
I,
don't
want
to
mention
it
now,
so
we
need
to
have
a
conversation
on
offline
about
that
department.
I
got
some
calls
about
some
concerns
about
the
department
and-
and
we
can
talk
about
that
offline
as
it
relates
to
certifications.
Okay,.
F
F
You
item
number
nine.
There
was
a
request
for
me
to
report
on
recommendations
on
structuring
and
budgeting
of
the
staff
in
the
office.
I
am
requesting
a
continuance
until
February
9th
to
have
this
discussion
with
the
board.
C
Okay
motion
by
board
member
Maniscalco
seconded
by
board
member
Miranda
board
member
Goods.
G
G
There,
but
we
do
have
our
two
stars,
who
are
working
hard
every
day
to
deal
with
our
CR
issues
and
our
city
issues
I,
want
to
make
sure
it's
like
I
was
had
to
hear
some
stuff
on
the
other
day
in
reference
to
a
CRA.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
structure
and
I
think
all
the
cras
are
all
structured
all
right.
What
I'm.
I
G
G
I
also
see
that
with
all
of
our
cras
and
our
management
team
as
well,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
we've
been
putting
it
off,
but
I
know
you've
been
working
very
hard,
but
we
need
to
get
a
structure
in
place
because
I
think
we're
off
a
little
bit
too.
Well.
Some
are
doing
this.
Some
do
that.
We
can't
do
this
again.
G
I
I,
just
don't
think
that
I
want
to
say
that
Miss,
hertech
and
myself
went
to
a
CRA
conference
and
when
I,
when
I
sit
back
and
I,
see
some
of
the
things
structurally,
that
others
are
doing.
I
think
that
I
don't
know
if
another
training
has
to
be
gathered,
I,
don't
know,
but
I
think
there's
even
been
a
training
even
with
the
development
Community
as
well
of
actually
what
the
CRA
responsibility
is.
G
G
Or
what
the
state
says
You
must
do
with
those
dollars.
I
think
that's
a
I
I
I
Gap
that
we
found
out
against
things
that
I
don't
believe.
We
should
be
doing
that.
We've
been
doing
and
I
know
that
you
and
Mr
are
looking
at
fixing
those
because
we're
not
in
believing
to
be
in
compliance.
There's
some
of
the
things
we're
doing.
I
don't
want
to
see
artists
jeopardize
because
we've
been
doing
some
a
long
time
and
no
one's
really
questioned.
G
I
know
we
have
legal,
but
when
we
hear
these
things
from
other
places,
they're
doing
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
structurally
sound
and
that
all
of
our
CRA
managers
and
other
employees
know
exactly.
We
can
do
what
we
can't
I
know
you
have
the
expertise,
Mr
drunk
because
you've
done
it
and
you've
you've
made
it
work
in
other
places.
I'm
not
saying
we
haven't
done
a
good
job
here,
but
I
think
when
I
go
to
conferences
and
I
see
other
people
getting
awards
for
a
lot
of
different
things.
G
Tampa
should
be
getting
a
lot
of
those
words
every
time
those
conferences
come
about.
We
should
be
getting
Awards,
but
we
haven't
and
that
bothers
me
to
go
there.
I
know
we
are
a
big
mother,
Metropolitan
City
and
we
have
eight
cras
that
shouldn't
be
so
when
you
bring
this
report
back
I'm
looking
to
see
what
will
be
the
new
structure
to
propose
this
Council
to
get
us
on
the
right
track,.
F
So
if
I
may
respond,
Madam
chair
the
the
structure
that
we're
talking
about
well
this.
What
this
motion
was
talking
about-
or
this
report
rather
was
about
the
Staffing-
that's
needed
when
we
add
housing
dollars.
We
need
to
add
staff
for
that
and
for
the
programs
and
the
initiatives
that
you're
asking
your
CRA
managers
to
implement
your
woefully
understaffed
for
the
type
of
projects
we
have.
F
We
do
need
to
have
a
conversation,
not
just
from
the
budgeting
and
Staffing
up
to
to
implement
the
program,
but
we
need
to
talk
about
the
governance,
and
this
has
come
up
multiple
times.
I
know
that
attorney
Massey
and
Michelle
Van
loan
when
she
was
your
director,
has
brought
up
made
several
presentations
on
the
governance
of
your
cacs
and
how
that
structure
works
and
how
you
can
gain
efficiencies
with
doing
that,
and
that's
not
included
in
this
motion.
F
G
To
do
to
Containers
work
with
that
I'll
be
happy
to
make
it
at
this
point,
but
I
I
I
know
that
there's
some
challenges
in
me
having
the
most
cras
and
hearing
from
most
a
lot
of
people
and
I,
don't
want
you
know
again:
I.
G
Done
it
Mr
Trump
has
done
it.
I
don't
want
politics
to
get
into
play.
I
want
you
to
be
able
to
come
and
give
a
presentation
of
what
you
believe
will
get
us
where
we
need
to
be
at
and
not
let
politics
or
what
some
outside
sources
inside
source
field
I
want
you
as
the
Director.
That's
what
I'm
as
director
to
come
back
and
say
this
is
what
I
believe
needs
to
happen
to
make
us
move
period.
G
F
Been
done
because
it's
been
presented
to
you
before
and
I
would
be
happy
to
bring
that
back
to
you,
okay,.
G
I
think
we
can
amend
the
motion.
Okay,
we
can
amend
the
mission
to
include
those
areas
in
reference
to
bringing
that
back
on
the
night.
That's
not
enough
time.
I'll
probably
get
extension,
but
you
know
what
I'm
looking
for
again,
not
letting
politics
get
into
way.
I,
don't
care
about
father
I
care
about
you,
bringing
me
the
facts.
Rather
people
like
it
or
not.
G
What
are
the
facts
and
that
way
we
can
deal
with
the
fact
that
we
can
deal
with
the
rest
if
politics
is
in
a
way,
but
I
want
you
to
bring
the
facts
back.
C
I
I
just
want
to
make
one
comment,
part
of
what
Boardman
just
mentioned
was
briefing
or
or
giving
or
some
kind
of
orientation
to
the
CAC
members
and
to
spelling
163
and
the
parameters.
Remember
three
years
three
and
a
half
years
ago
we
also
said
we
wanted
a
strategic
plan
here.
I
think
there
should
be
besides
163.
I
There
should
be
some
guard
rails
for
what
what
the
board
recommends
also,
but
more
importantly,
I
hope
that
they're
in
the
briefing
packet
that
we
explain
to
people
what
the
opportunity
cost
is
for
the
rest
of
the
city
in
the
cras.
I
You
know
when
we
started
there
was
some
feeling
among
some
of
the
CAC
members,
that
this
is
their
money
to
spend
their
way
and
it's
actually
the
whole
City's
money
and
we're
giving
up
Paving
roads
and
fixing
parks
and
other
parts
of
the
city
for
this.
So
the
the
purpose
of
that
is
is
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
good
custodians
of
the
money
and
we're
understanding
that
the
whole
city
is
sacrificing
help
solve
the
issues
that
are
described
in
163
and
I.
F
Yeah
we
we
do
and
you
have
Jeff
Burton
who's,
the
president
of
the
fra
and
has
conducted
many
of
those
trainings
before
we've
asked
Jeff
to
do
Refreshers
with
internally
with
staff
and
to
do
it
with
cacs
I
think
we
have
one
coming
up
with
the
East
Tampa
CAC,
but
it's
not
just
about
following
one
chapter
163
in
this
in
the
state
statute
to
the
letter
of
the
law.
It's
also
aligning
policies
and
programs
that
you
have
in
all
the
different
cras
like.
F
So
it's
not
just
163,
but
it's
alignment
and
consistency
with
all
your
programs,
and
so
we've
been
working
with
attorney
Massey
on
policy
alignment,
as
well
as
your
spending,
your
Grant
requests
and
being
able
to
align
that
it'll
help
alleviate
some
of
the
items
that
you
have
on
your
agendas
moving
forward
once
we
once
we
do
that,
but
it's
a
heavy
lift
and
we're
working
towards
that.
Thank
you.
F
The
next
two
items
items
10
and
11:
they
go
with
each
other.
We've
had
some
scheduling
issues
and
so
we're
requesting
that
items.
10
and
11
be
continued
to
January
12th,
where
the
eboard
CRA
pass
chair,
Chris.
What's
up
Chris
W,
let's
say
Chris
W.
B
C
H
C
C
Now
we
are
moving
on
to
public
comment.
The
public
is
welcome
to
comment
on
any
item
for
up
to
three
minutes.
Do
we
have
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
if
you
would
stand
up
now
and
form
a
line
to
my
left,
your
right.
J
Good
morning,
Connie
Burton
I,
don't
know
how
you
ever
planned
on
dealing
with
real
disparities
in
this
community,
as
it
related
to
the
resolution
that
you
passed
in
2020
with
this
constant
kicking
issues
down
the
road
item.
789
looked
at
the
agenda,
thought
that's
what
we
was
going
to
discuss,
but
no
not
this
morning.
J
But
what
I'm
concerned
about
is
how
parts
of
this
community
that
can
have
things
that
will
provide
Economic
Opportunity
for
their
neighborhoods,
but
yet,
instead,
when
it
comes
to
East
Tampa,
it
is
not
happening
for
over
five
years
we've
been
asking
for
just
the
basic
East
Tampa
CRA
funding
be
utilized
to
do
housing
repair
in
East
Tampa
for
over
five
years
has
not
happened
with
all
the
legal
staff
and
all
the
experts
in
this
city
five
years.
The
residents
still
have
not
gotten
to
that
point.
J
We've
also
mentioned
how
we
see
in
certain
communities
that
it
can
have
accessory
dwelling
units.
If
you
go
on
Central
Avenue
right
there
right
in
front
of
Hillsboro
High
School,
the
last
three
brand
new
houses
that
they
built.
It
was
all
with
additional
housing
units.
J
In
the
back
unit,
a
house
number
50,
15,
13
and
11.,
but
down
the
whole
block
40
from
starting
at
4803
to
5015
all
has
accessory
dwelling
units
and
when
we
say
the
possibility
of
having
that
in
East
Tampa,
because
we
cannot
buy
the
houses
that
is
over
350
000,
even
with
a
down
payment
assistance.
J
J
She
identified
me
and
another
woman
that
would
do
the
project
for
four
years.
It
has
not
happened.
It's
not
going
to
happen
because
it
is
a
terrible
disdain
in
our
community
to
live
our
communities
and
why
developers
have
been
able
to
come
into
East
Tampa
in
broad
daylight
and
build
lot
split,
Lots
do
whatever
they
want
to
in
our
community.
Our
community
is
still
waiting,
I
want
to
leave
this
document
and
I'm
planning
on
passing
it
throughout
the
city.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
I'm
sure.
Yes,.
G
Miss
Burton
is
right
on
several
fronts
and
I
am
too
disturbed
about
the
rehab
program
as
well.
That's
been
kicked
down
the
road
a
long,
long
time
and
I
know
you're
working,
but
what
I
find
in
my
research
and
hopefully
that
I'm
sure
you
are
coming
up
with
that
plan.
The
problem
you
have
is
not
having
contractors
what
I
believe
able
enough
contracts
which
I
believe
you
have
some
but
I
think
what
has
happened
is
that
the
city
has
a
program.
East
Tampa
was
a
program
and
we
go
into
capital.
G
G
I
taught
dying
heart
extensively
about
that
in
some
other
of
our
non-profits
about
that
and
again
I
think
that
is
a
problem
that
we
have
to
look
at
how
these
reimbursements
are
done,
because
people
are
saying
that
it
takes.
You
got
to
put
up
money,
but
yet
it
takes
so
long
so
long
to
get
their
money
back
to
continue.
Another
project:
well,
that's
a
roadblock.
G
So
that's
why
I
always
like
to
explain,
be
transparent
and
tell
people
when
I
go
and
I
do
when
things
are
not
moving.
I
go
to
find
out
why
they're
not
moving,
and
we
cannot
be
afraid
to
tell
the
public
why
things
aren't
moving.
You
have
a
lot
of
the
folks
in
these
in
this
industry
that
feel
that
it
takes
too
long
to
get
their
money
back
to
start
another
project.
G
So
hopefully
we
can
come
up
with
that
I
know.
We've
got
a
couple
of
meetings
with
people
that
might
be
able
to
help
us
down
the
road
with
that
soon,
and
maybe
you
may
have
some
other
ideas,
but
we
need
to
let
it
probably
know
we
are
working,
but
there
are
a
few
challenges.
There's
some
challenges.
F
So
if
I
may,
the
first
thing
with
the
owner
occupied
rehab,
East
Tampa
CAC,
wanted
to
do
a
third
party
administrator,
and
so
we
did
work
on
that
RFP
as
promised
and
put
out
the
RFP.
We
had
two
respondents
and
one
was
deemed
unresponsive
because
they
didn't
provide
all
the
information,
the
second
company
that
was
supposed
to
administer
it.
They
were
charging
a
million
dollars
off
the
top
to
administer
the
program
and
was
still
not
administering
it
as
described
in
how
the
CAC
wanted
the
program
to
be
implemented.
F
So
we
thought
that
it
was
best
instead
of
paying
them
a
million
dollars
and
still
not
executing
the
pro
the
program
correctly
to
not
make
that
award
and
to
try
to
to
do
it
again
through
housing.
Now
that
I
can
work
with
my
housing
team,
I
know
that
you
that
it
has
been
tried
before
or
I,
don't
know
if
it
even
had
been
attempted
before.
F
But
there
is
the
perception
that
in
housing,
like
the
bureaucracy,
is
there
with
programs,
the
funding
is
separately
and
if
there's
low
barriers
to
funding,
which
is
the
reason
we
try
to
use
CRA
funds
is
that
they're
less
restrictive
than
Federal
funding?
If
we
can
get
staffed
up
in
housing,
I'm,
confident
that
we
can
try
to
implement
those
programs,
the
owner
occupied
rehab
programs
faster
to
your
point
about
the
list
of
contractors.
F
The
access
to
or
being
able
to
pay
for
bonds.
That's
required
in
the
procurement
process
is
something
that
we
spoke
about
the
other
day
and
trying
to
find
ways
to
allow
minority.
Well,
let
me
not
say
minority
to
find
businesses
that
have
problems
paying
for
the
bond,
primarily
those
are
small
and
minority
businesses.
I
know
that
the
budget
and
revenue
and
finance
office
have
been
piloting,
working
and
turning
around
checks
faster
and
they're
working
on
a
system
to
do
that.
F
But
I'm
going
to
tell
you
that
when
you
look
at
facade
grants
and
issuing
checks
are
paying
invoices
to
small
businesses.
Our
staff
is
at
fault
for
some
of
that
I
take
it
on
the
chin
when,
when
it's
our
responsibility
as
well,
not
turning
in
the
invoices
in
time
to
meet
the
check
issuance
dates.
These
are
small
businesses
and
we're
affecting
their
livelihood
as
well,
so
we're
working
on
internal
processes
so
that
our
staff
turn
around
and
submit,
enforces
and
checks
to
help
our
small
businesses.
F
But
we're
also
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
support
small
and
minority
businesses,
particularly
contractors,
so
that
we
can
do
the
owner
occupied
rehab.
We
tried
the
third
party,
we
would
have
paid
a
million
dollars
and
they
still
were
not
implementing
the
program.
So
Mr
jumbo
set
up
send
me
to
have
more
information
on
it
than.
K
And
if
I
may
speak
to
that
Deputy
Administrator
at
least
drum
go,
you
know
it's
from
from
that
process
of
Miss
Burton
and
for
the
board.
K
It
goes
back
to
the
CAC
and
back
through
those
subcommittees
for
that
discussion
to
occur
to
decide
what
direction
they
like
to
take
going
forward.
So
while
we
work
parallel
to
that
to
work
with
our
housing
team
to
find
Solutions
in
into
draft
a
structure
and
bring
that
back
to
you,
the
the
staff
is
also
boots
on
the
ground,
working
with
the
CAC
and
the
subcommittees
to
try
to
solve
the
problem
as
well
and
to
take
that
feedback
and
come
back
with
another
proposal
to
go
through
and
procure
those
Services.
Once
again.
G
With
that
capital
I
mean
they
can
be
able
to
dig
into
some
of
these
other
these
contracts
we
have
in
the
city,
I've
said
that
from
day
one
you
know
and
I'm
glad
that,
finally
we're
we
have
a
staff
now
who's
hearing
us
who's
hearing
what
we're
talking
about,
and
you
can
tell
the
experience
level
of
YouTube.
You
know
what
is
it
because
the
small
business
is
what
really
keeps
the
city
driving
and
moving
I?
G
Don't
care
what
anybody
says
and
we
got
to
make
sure
we
have
that
in
our
communities
to
make
us
strive,
especially
on
the
east
side
of
town,
so
I'm,
just
looking
to
to
get
this
moving.
Rehab
has
been
a
number
one
goal
for
me
from
day
one
with
housing.
Yes,
we've
passed
it
but
passing
it
is
no
longer
good
enough.
We've
got
to
implement.
G
We
have
things
sitting
on
the
shelf
for
years
that
have
never
been
implemented.
That
makes
no
sense
to
me
whether
it
be
staff.
So
now
we
know
his
staff
Ms
Travis
you've
already
said
it
you're
trying
to
beat
that
housing,
because
you
can
have
all
the
problems
you
want,
but
you
have
nobody
to
implement
the
programs,
what
goodness
it
does?
No
good
and
now
people
are
frustrated.
They're,
angry,
they're
mad.
G
You
know
they're
not
just
doing
that
for
a
reason
to
do
it
because
I
want
to
say
we're
not
doing
our
job,
but
we're
not
doing
our
job.
So
yeah
they're
going
to
come
here
and
complain
to
us
be
upset
and
stay
up
get
upset,
but
the
bottom
line
is
we
have
to
be
a
more
Progressive
City
to
say
what
do
you
need
you're
telling
us
what
we
need?
G
This
board
has
to
be
able
to
say:
okay,
give
you
what
the
tools
you
need
to
get
it
done
to
get
it
done,
and
that
means
shifting
people
around
to
be
more
efficient
to
have
a
department
that
is
more
efficient
to
where
you've
got
every
CRA.
That
has
every
project
on
the
board
and
you
have
certain
people
to
teach
this
design
to
work
those
projects
to
get
things
moving,
so
be
it,
but
we
got
to
be
able
to
go
start
moving
some
of
this
stuff,
some
of
the
other
crates
or
more
Vans.
G
It
needs
to
have
his
line,
but
I
contend.
If
you
have
all
your
programs
from
all
your
cras
and
you
have
specific
staff
working
on
specific
goals,
I
mean
I,
think
things
will
move
not
just
having
a
project
on
a
shelf.
Does
it
smell
good,
but
I?
Thank
you
for
your
work.
I
mean
I,
know
you
have
the
experience
and
you
you've
been
you've,
been
kind
of
moving
that
ball
so,
but
I
hope
that
answers
some
of
your
questions.
You
know
me
I
like
to
tell
the
people
what
the
real
deal
is.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
L
B
L
L
It
talks
about
how
white
people
treat
us,
how
they
have
been
treating
us
for
the
last
622
years
internationally,
not
just
right
here
in
this
city.
This
city
is
a
microcosm
of
how
we're
treated
all
over
the
world.
It's
a
worldwide
plan,
because
if
you
look
at
it,
I
know
from
the
70s
what
Hyde
Park
looked
like
and
when
I
say
the
70s
I
don't
mean
79,
I
mean
71..
L
L
This
city
council,
don't
do
anything
for
African
people
absolutely
positively.
Nothing.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
what's
happening,
is
it's
a
big
gentrification
program?
It's
an
international
gentrification
program,
it's
an
extermination
program
to
push
all
African
people
and
all
people
of
color
off
the
face
of
this
Earth
off
the
face
of
this
Earth
and
it's
a
very
aggressive
program
and
what
this
city
is
doing.
We
are
26
of
the
population
and
we
don't
enjoy
26
percent
of
anything
good
in
this
city,
absolutely
positively.
L
Housing
got
the
bag
for
housing
and
we
see
how
white
people
live
and
white
people
living
good,
but
they
pushing
us
out
of
this
city.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
when
you
talk
about
what's
done
for
African
people
in
this
city
and
white
people,
don't
know
the
names
of
gay
proper
miles,
don't
know
and
understand
the
name
of
what
a
brown
have
done.
L
That's
a
reflection
of
how
white
people
treat
us
in
disrespect
us
that's
a
reflection
of
how
white
people
treat
us
and
disrespect
us
not
just
here
internationally
and
now
that
we're
moving
up
and
needing
a
new
police
chief.
We
experience
the
disparities
in
law
enforcement.
We
need
an
African
police
chief
that
meets
the
qualifications,
not
just
anybody.
M
Three
years
ago,
councilman
dinkfelder
accused
our
water
department
of
writing
legislation
to
spend
money
for
our
city,
and,
oh,
my
goodness,
he
wasn't
too
far
from
on
point
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
councilman
dingfelder
nominated
me
to
the
budget
committee,
and
he
asked
the
budget
committee.
All
of
you
asked
the
budget
committee
to
watch
what
happens
with
the
funds
that
belong
to
the
citizens
of
this
city.
M
So
we
paid
the
citizens
of
this
city
paid
lobbyists
to
go
to
Tallahassee
to
ask
them
to
pass
legislation
that
was
going
to
cost
our
city
two
four
six
billion
dollars.
Are
you
freaking
kidding
me
who
makes
money
from
this
I
have
asked
you
repeatedly.
You
have
an
Ethics
Commission
in
this
city
by
God.
It's
time
for
you
to
use
it
it's
time
to
investigate
who
is
telling
our
city
staff.
M
That
means
everybody
in
here
pays
these
taxes
into
the
City,
and
those
people
were
paid
to
go
to
Tallahassee
and
Lobby
for
legislation
that
was
going
to
cost
our
city
billions
of
dollars.
Are
you
freaking
kidding
me
who's
going
to
investigate,
see
the
the
city
council?
Has
the
right
to
investigate,
grow
a
spine,
bring
it
with
you
when
you
meet
next
Thursday,
because
this
people
have
stolen
money
out
of
our
pockets.
They've
stolen
money
for
housing,
they've
stole
the
stolen
money
for
transportation.
How
much
time
has
this
Council
wasted
on
the
crap?
M
That's
been
brought
in
front
of
us.
I.
Am
absolutely
appalled
I'd
like
to
also
point
out
to
you
that
in
my
very
first
budget
meeting,
the
people
who
are
the
lobbyists
for
this
city
came
in
and
said
they
did.
That
and
I
was
like.
Oh
my
gosh.
This
is
amazing.
This
is
so
cool.
These
people
go
to
Tallahassee
and
work
for
us
to
have
the
right
rules
for
our
state,
hey
you
and
you,
those
two
people
who
I
will
not
name,
because
it's
not
appropriate.
I
said:
why
aren't
you
working
with
the
neighborhoods?
M
M
G
You
know
and
I'll
probably
say
this
next
Thursday,
but
that's
why
Mr
Johnson
left
on
our
budget
Financial
because
he
felt
he
couldn't
get
the
answers
and
we
have
a
charter
who
talks
about
the
budget
and
finance
committee.
I.
Just
think
that
I
love
the
volunteers,
but
they
really
can't
do
their
job.
You
know
and-
and
thank
you
Mr
Carlson,
for
telling
me
about
that
editorial
yesterday,
I
read
that
editorial
late
last
night
with
the
Tampa
Bay
Times
I,
don't
see
anywhere
in
our
Charter.
It
talks
about
a
strong
form
of
Arrow
government.
G
It
says
two
branches
of
government.
They
talked
about
the
US
versus
them,
but
the
charter
says
the
two
branch
of
government
and
we're
the
legislative
body
of
the
city.
It's
our
duty
to
make
sure
that
rules
are
being
followed
so
again
and
I'm
glad
you.
You
look
like
how
things
transpired
these
last
two
three
years
and
now
you
have
people
who've,
sat
on
the
charter.
G
I
can't
I
always
say
experience
is
best
teacher
and
then,
when
you
go
to
read
and
see
certain
things,
that's
why
we
ask
for
certain
legislation
to
be
changed
because
not
take
away
anybody's
power.
It's
making
sure
that
the
governments
of
the
city
is
provided
for
everybody.
So
again,
Mr
I,
I
I
saw
that
this
morning
too,
and
again
again,
we
have
citizens
now
who
are
reading
this
stuff
too
and
asking
for
for
answers.
But
again,
thank
you
for
coming
down
this
morning.
N
Hello
good
morning,
I'm
Katie,
Gower
I
am
a
member
of
the
channel
District,
CAC
and
I'm
here
representing
that
board,
and
we
are,
we
are
our
I,
am
here
to
talk
about
item
number
three,
the
board,
the
channel
District
CAC.
We
recommend
a
further
study
of
the
housing
in
the
channel
District
so
that
we
can
have
more
information
to
make
a
better
decision
on
the
use
of
surplus
funds
for
housing
programs.
C
O
Good
morning,
Andy
Joe
scaglione
I've
been
involved
in
the
Channel
Side
since
1983
38
years,
30
yeah
38
years
ago,
was
involved.
We
created
the
base
back
in
2003,
grew
up
in
West,
Tampa
and
I
care
very
much
about
the
city.
As
you
all
know,
in
2020
there
was
a
a
motion
made
actually
and-
and
it
said
that
all
CR
30
of
all
CRA
funds
should
be
it's
at
affordable
housing,
not
all
cra's,
are
alike,
some
have
more
needs.
O
They
all
have
different
situations,
hell
and
Channelside
right
now,
lands
going
for
over
10
million
dollars
an
acre.
We
could
have
bought
land
a
lot
I've
advocated
for
all
these
years
for
us
to
buy
dirt,
because
if
you
own
the
dirt,
you
can
do
things
if
you
don't
own
the
dirt.
It's
very
hard
to
make
things
happen,
so
I
think
we
need.
We
have
a
lot
of
talent.
O
Now,
okay,
people
have
been
brought
on,
let's
be
strategic
about
this,
and
and
and
and
let's
let's
look
at
ways
to
encourage
attainable
housing,
okay,
but
just
putting
a
30
blanket
we're
that
this
motion
was
made
in
2010
with
one
city
council
member's
loan
no
longer
here,
three
years
later,
A
lot
has
changed
so
and
again
we
got
some
good
talent
here
and,
and
let's
make
let's
make
the
most
of
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
Thank
you.
Anyone
else
wish
to
speak
today.
Do
you
do
please?
Oh
okay,
so
we
have
someone
anyone
online
this
morning.
D
P
Have
three
minutes
to
speak?
Yes
good
morning?
Hope
everybody's
doing
well,
I
want
to
start
off.
First
by
giving
a
shout
out
to
the
person.
That's
heading
the
West
Tampa
he's
doing
an
awesome
job.
He
understands
cra.
P
Definitely
we
really
happy
to
have
him
on
board
in
order
to
guide
us,
as
we
begin
to
look
at
changes
in
the
community.
I
also
want
to
talk
about
the
next
initiative
that
we
have
coming
up,
which
is
West
Tampa
welfare
initiative.
We
talked
about
this
we're
now
accepting
application
application
and
essentially
what
it
does
is
to
create
a
Black
Wall
Street
in
West
Hampton,
as
you
might
know,
might
not
know
three
plus
only
three
percent
of
African-Americans
own
their
business
in
West
Tampa.
P
P
This
this
initiative
is
all
about
making
changes
now

folks
that
want
to
start
a
business

West
Tampa.

Thank

much

C
F
Good
morning
again,
item
number
one
is
for
a
report
on
the
regarding
compensation
for
at
least
I'm
going
to
myself.
I
am
not
going
to
comment
on.
E
This
Chief
Bennett
was
going
to
be
here
this
morning
to
respond
to
that
motion,
but
he
is
unable
to
attend
because
he's
ill
today.
He
did
call
me
this
morning
and
did
I
think
and
maybe
also
chair
her
attack
and
he
is
working
to
effectuate
the
CRA
board's
Motion.
E
In
this
regard,
he
would
ask
I
think
the
CRA
board
to
pass
a
motion
approving
the
allocation
of
CRA
funds
to
provide
a
supplement
to
the
salaries
of
interim
CRA,
director
Travis
and
interim
CRA
deputy
director
drumco
for
those
services
for
their
services
in
those
capacities
beginning
retroactively
on
the
date
that
they
took
on
those
positions
after
miss
van
loan
resigned
and
continuing
until
a
new
CRA
director's
appointed.
So.
G
G
Mean
I
know:
we've
missed
some
CRVs,
but
this
is
this
is
long
overdue.
People
are
working,
they
should
be
compensating
and
they've
been
working
for
a
while
I,
don't
know
what
the
percentage
perceived
what
they're
looking
at.
If
there
is
a
percentage,
that's
not
really
what
I'm
looking
at
I'm
looking
at
you
have
a
director
who
who
stepped
away-
and
you
have
two
interviews
who
are
working
hard
in
that
position
and
my
understanding
when
I
look
at
the
laws
and
rules.
G
This
board
is
the
actual
board
to
set
their
pay,
my
understanding
or
or
be
able
to
vote
on
what
they
should
be
getting,
what
they
should
not
get,
and
if
our
Romans
massive
tell
me
but
the
way
I
read
the
rule,
this
board
is
the
governing
body,
not
the
general
fund
money,
not
the
chief
of
staff,
but
this
board
sets
the
tone
for
the
dollars
and
cents
for
any
staff
am
I
right
or
wrong.
Sir,
you.
E
E
Is
that
both
Miss,
Travis
and
Mr
drumgo
are
employees
of
the
city
and
are
also
paid
out
the
general
fund
for
their
services
as
well
and
so
they're,
subject
to
the
Personnel
policies
of
the
city
of
Tampa,
and
so
there's
an
exception
of
the
Personnel
policy
that
does
allow
the
chief
of
staff
to
then
provide
additional
funding
for
the
additional
extra
services,
and
so
that's
what
he's
operating
under,
but
with
the
use
of
CRA
funds.
I,
don't
know
the
percentage
he's
proposing
or
how
much
exactly
that
is.
G
My
representation,
sir,
is
that
there
is
a
salary
outline
for
the
CRA
director
in
the
time
that
Crayton
left
that
salary,
whatever
that
those
dollars
and
cents
have
been,
should
be
split
between
the
two
because
they're
doing
the
work.
So
I
don't
look
at
a
percentage,
I
look
at
from
the
time
they
took
over
to
now.
That
number
should
be
split
in
half
and
it
should
be
compensated
for
that
and
not
be
able
to
talk
about
a
percentage
down.
The
road
I.
E
G
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
talking
about
his
City
policy
percentage
because
actually
it's
kind
of
like
we're
kind
of
employing
them
right
now
to
work
for
us.
So
to
me,
that's
our
money
and
that's
our
money.
I
prefer.
If
that's
the
case
where
Mr
Journal
came
a
little
bit
afterwards,
then
we
can
balance
it
out,
but
I
think
they
should
be
compensated.
The
dollars
that
was
that
was
left
over.
Thank
you,
sir.
E
G
I
Yeah
Morris,
I
I
think
the
the
other
complicated
factor
is
that
we
we
choose.
The
CRA
board
has
chosen
to
Outsource
all
the
staff
to
to
the
city,
so
there's
an
outsourced
agreement
and
other
cities
may
have
their
own
staff.
That
report
directly,
but
we
have
an
outsourced
agreement
and
so
anyway,
you're
saying
cheap
Bennett
is
going
to
come
back
with
a
proposed
number
or
is.
E
E
Okay,
so
that
is
so,
and
he
can
come
back
I
believe
next
month
to
provide
you
an
exact
report
of
what
that
amount
is
okay,.
C
Motion
made
by
board
member
good
seconded
by
board
member
Miranda
any
more
discussion.
Okay,
all
in
favor
all
right.
Any
opposed
I.
Q
G
Let's
have
a
motion
to
reflect
the
next
CRA
meeting
and.
H
C
You
so
we
have
a
motion
made
by
board
member
goods
and
seconded
by
board
member
Miranda
all
in
favor
aye
any
opposed.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
C
If
staff
could
pull
up
the
presentation,
oh
we
have
it
on
our
screen.
We're
gonna
wait
for
it
to.
R
Okay,
so
I
was
asked
to
come
back
and
and
do
a
presentation
on
preserving
black
history
within
the
city
of
Tampa
and
doing
my
research
I
discovered
that
I
guess.
First,
we
need
to
talk
about
how
we.
R
Okay,
so
about
East
Tampa,
of
course,
we
all
know
I
just
pulled
some
things
from
Wikipedia
from
the
internet,
but
just
to
give
you
an
idea.
What
happens
when
you
look
in
to
East
Tampa,
you
see
East
Tampa
boundaries
are
what
this
says:
Hillsborough
Avenue
to
the
North
15th
Street,
to
the
West
I-4
to
the
South
40th
Street
to
the
east.
We
know
this
is
not
correct
for
the
history.
It
says
the
area
has
been
the
location
of
several
riots.
R
I
would
say
that
information
is
also
Incorrect,
and
then
you
can
see
also
where
it
has
total
crime
60
for
two
percent.
The
rating
is
an
F
violent
crime,
189
property
crime
37.
This
is
all
what
you
get
when
you
Google
East
Tampa.
R
So
East
Tampa
livability
num
ranked
number
59
in
Tampa
number
556
in
Florida,
East
Tampa
livability
63.
R
Transportation.
As
you
can
see,
some
of
the
information's
not
available
like
on
the
average
one-way
commute
workers
who
carpool
workers
who
bicycle
East,
Tampa
1.7.
We
know
that's,
probably
not
as
accurate,
but
again.
This
is
what
happens
when
you
Google
crime
again
for
East
Tampa,
a
lot
of
it
not
showing.
Yet
this
is
the
same
site
that
also
had
that
the
numbers
were
significantly
high
and
that
we
had
an
F
rating.
But
you
can
see
when
you
look
into
the
individual
numbers
they're,
not
here,
East,
Tampa
income
statistics.
R
R
R
So
going
into
step
one
preserving
black
cemeteries
to
me,
the
reason
preserving
black
cemeteries
is
so
important
is
because
it's
a
part
of
black
history
and
this
understanding
again
how
we
ended
up
where
we
are
within
the
city.
R
So,
as
you
can
see,
U.S
senator
Sharad
Brown,
as
well
as
Mitt
Romney,
introduced
the
African-American
burial
grounds,
preservation
act
in
2019
and
their
the
whole
idea
is
to
work
to
preserve
this,
which
is
history,
which
is
dignity
for
people
in
death.
R
You'll
also
see
that
there's
a
growing
movement
to
say
black
cemeteries
across
the
country.
For
example,
you
have
Greenwood
Cemetery,
which
is
in
the
St
Louis
area
and
they're,
trying
to
locate
Graves,
and
they
have
a
very
much
historic
individuals
buried
there,
Harriet
Scott,
as
well
as
Dred
Scott,
who
are
of
course
Dred
Scott,
is
the
individual
from
Scott
versus
Sanford.
R
Jim
Crow
allowed
black
cemeteries
to
go
unkempt
and
City
dollars
flowed
to
White
cemeteries.
There's
a
lot
more
to
be
said
about
how
whites
were
just
allowed
to
dislocate
black
folks
and
trample
all
over
black
cemeteries,
and
this
is
coming
from
Cami
Fletcher,
an
associate
professor
at
Albright
College.
R
So
again
and
here's
a
quote
from
Antoinette
Jackson
from
USF.
There
really
were
no
legal
protections
for
black
folks
in
their
property,
so
cemeteries
were
one
of
those
things
that
were
unprotected,
that's
the
underpinning
of
why
lands
were
where
cemeteries
sat
were
deemed
to
be
vulnerable
and
then
so.
For
those
who
don't
understand
how
a
cemetery
can
go
lost.
Typically,
it's
it
could
be
stolen,
it
can
be
forgotten
and
typically
the
land
is
used
into
and
for
development.
R
So
this
is
a
sample
of
a
picture
of
the
Zion
Cemetery,
which
we
recently
discovered,
which
is
under
robo's
Park.
So
this
is
just
a
picture,
giving
you
an
example
of.
What's
what
we
have
here
in
Tampa,
then
you
have
the
Ridgewood
Cemetery,
which
is
which
has
recently
been
located
under
King,
High,
School,
I,
won't
say
under
the
high
school,
but
on
the
property
of
it
and
the
land
was
sold
to
developers
and
that's
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today.
R
This
is
a
map
from
the
late
1800s,
showing
the
Italian
Club
cemetery
and
the
colored
people
Cemetery,
which
is
the
College
Hill
Cemetery.
So
if
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see,
but
in
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
that
part
is
the
colored
people
Cemetery,
which
is
now
the
parking
lot
for
the
Italian
Club
Cemetery.
So
you
can
see
that
that
was
always
designated
as
such
and
that's
where
we
are
and
that's
where
the
I
I
came
before
you
previously.
Oh
I'll
go
back
because
I
I
see
board
member
Maniscalco
looking
at
it.
S
R
So
this
is
an
aerial
overview
of
the
cemetery
as
well
and
I've
come
before
you
already
requesting
an
ordinance
to
treat
the
areas
known
to
be
cemeteries
as
such.
That
would
prevent
parking,
storing
items
holding
events
over
known
Graves
and
everything
that
we
have
shows
that
that
is
actually
a
cemetery,
and
there
is
a
marker
now
there
for
the
cemetery,
but
again
it's
still
the
parking
lot.
R
So
so
a
lot
of
this
information
came
from
the
black
Cemetery
Network,
which
was
established
by
one
of
the
board
members
of
the
task
force,
Antoinette
Jackson,
who
is
a
professor
and
chair
of
the
University
of
South
Florida
Department
of
anthropology,
so
Florida's
focus
on
black
cemeteries,
including
the
establishment
of
the
task
force,
shows
their
strength
in
numbers
and
that
working
together
from
the
community
level
up
is
a
strategic
Advantage.
So
we're
making
strides
but
of
course,
there's
plenty
room
to
do
more.
This
is
also
more
information
from
the
task
force.
R
So,
what's
the
solution,
these
Solutions
came
directly
from
the
task
force.
Tampa
City,
Council
CRA
board
can
adopt
a
city-wide
policy
by
way
of
an
ordinance
supporting
reasonable
non-invasive
searches
of
unrecorded,
abandoned,
forgotten,
lost,
neglected
or
stolen
African-American
cemeteries
and
burial
sites.
R
Such
cemeteries
establish
a
city-wide
priority
for
the
placement
of
State
historical
markers
for
erased,
forgotten,
lost,
abandoned
and
stolen
African-American
cemeteries,
designate
all
found
the
locations
of
an
erased,
forgotten
loss,
abandoned
or
stolen
African-American
burial
ground
as
a
cemetery
and
prevent
parking
over.
The
cemetery
prohibits
storing
items
over
the
cemetery,
preventing
events
from
being
held
over
the
cemetery
and
any
other
event
or
activity
that
would
not
be
allowed
in
any
operable
Cemetery
within
the
city
of
Tampa.
Today,.
R
We
can
remove
the
negative
data
from
the
internet
again.
This
is
a
well.
This
shows
a
Google
search
of
downtown
Tampa.
So
when
you
Google
downtown
Tampa,
only
good
things
pop
up
visit,
Tampa
Bay
pops
up,
but
it
doesn't
pop
up
for
East
Tampa.
We
need
the
city
to
control
the
narrative
for
East
Tampa,
as
it
does
for
downtown,
just
as
I
showed
in
the
screenshot.
You
can
see
even
when
it
says
people
also
ask:
does
Tampa
have
a
nice
downtown?
Can
you
walk
around
downtown
Tampa?
R
What
is
downtown
Tampa
called
is
Tampa
nightlife
City
all
non-negative
things.
So
this
is
what
appears
when
you
do
the
same
search
for
East,
Tampa,
2010
census
data
appears,
which
I'm
not
certain.
Why
we
would
not
be
trying
to
update
that
also
is
East
Tampa,
a
good
neighborhood,
which
part
of
Tampa
is
the
safest.
What
part
of
Tampa
is
best
to
live
in,
so
it
already
kind
of
gives
that
connotation
that
this
is
not
a
good
place
to
go.
This
is
not
a
good
place
to
visit
East
Tampa.
R
R
So
this
is
again
showing
planners
of
the
interstate
history
highway
system,
which
began
to
take
shape
after
the
federal
aid,
Highway
Act
of
1956
routed
some
highways
directly
and
sometimes
purposefully
through
black
and
brown
communities.
In
some
instances,
the
government
took
homes
by
imminent
domain,
so
the
highways
were
being
built
just
as
courts
around
the
country,
Were
Striking
down
traditional
tools
of
racial
segregation
so
again
showing
how
we
kind
of
got
to
where
we
are.
As
we
know,
most
of
the
boundaries
for
East
Tampa
are
predicated
on
the
highways
we
have
I-4.
R
Here
is
an
intersection
showing
22nd,
Street
and
right
past
I-4
from
leaving
Ebor
taking
the
exit
ramp
and
there's
a
clear
difference
between
the
two
sides
of
I4,
so
the
I4
side,
that's
an
Ebor
has
a
different
look,
has
a
different
feel
and
then
on
the
very
same
other
side
of
I-4
on
the
East
Tampa
I,
don't
want
to
just
say
the
East
Tampa,
because
Ybor
city
is
in
East
Tampa,
but
on
the
other
side
of
it,
where
you
start
to
see
slum,
you
start
to
see
grass
not
being
cut.
R
You
see,
homeless
individuals,
you
see
garbage.
You
see
a
lot
right,
just
cool
the
other
side
of
the
block,
so
we
know
for
a
fact
that
this
is
actually
you
know
the
interstates
coming
in
and
what
it
did
also
I
want
to
highlight
next
door.
So
the
city
of
Tampa
plans
to
disseminate
info
to
the
various
neighborhood
associations
using
the
next
dirt
app.
Then
the
city
should
probably
police
the
app,
and
this
I
did
a
screenshot
just
to
show
kind
of
where
people
are
when
it
comes
to
the
next
door.
R
For
those
of
you,
who've
used
it,
you
know
next
door
can
be
a
very,
very
racially
charged
site,
which
is
why
a
lot
of
people
don't
use
it
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
next
door
website
is
not
safe,
useful
nor
Pleasant.
That's
from
one
site,
you
have
others
that
says
it
works,
and
then
you
have
another
one
that
says,
unfortunately,
there's
a
lot
of
ugliness
and
meanness
that
gets
by
way
too,
offering
often
from
Neighbors.
But
this
is
the
site
that
we
choose
to
disseminate
information
for
individuals
within
the
city.
R
So
the
solutions
what
we
could
do
here,
we
can
invite
people
to
East
Tampa.
We
can
expand
Landscaping
media
medians
beautification
beyond
the
interstates,
create
inviting
signs,
statues
and
murals
to
invite
people
beyond
the
barriers
create
friendly
gateways
include
places
in
East
Tampa
for
visit
Tampa
Bay
visit
Tampa
Bay
should
not
just
be
for
downtown.
It
should
be
for
all
of
Tampa,
which
means
it
doesn't
matter
what
part
of
Tampa
you
Google
it
visit.
Tampa
Bay
should
appear
publicly
state
that
Ybor
city
is
a
part
of
East
Tampa.
R
R
We
need
equity
in
East,
Tampa
dollars
and
projects
that
have
been
invested
in
East
Tampa
have
not
been
Equitable
and
I
just
put
this
here.
So
if
anyone
is
questioning
the
difference
between
equality
and
Equity,
so
we
deserve
access
to
the
same
opportunities.
So
you
doing
the
exact
same
thing
in
all.
The
different
areas
of
the
city
might
not
work
the
same
when
you
take
into
account
the
historic
disadvantages
that
East
Tampa
has
has
some
come
to
succumbed
to
over
the
years.
R
For
example,
homes
built
in
other
parts
of
the
city
were
larger,
with
amenities
that
buyers
look
for
in
forever
homes,
I'm
not
saying
every
home
should
have
been
because,
of
course,
we
want
affordable
homes.
We
want
homes
that
residents
can
also
many
residents
can
afford,
but
to
say
that
you're
not
going
to
build
the
same
type
of
home
in
East
Tampa
says
that
you're
saying
no
one
in
East
Tampa
can
afford
this
or
have
the
desire
for
or
no
one
in
East
Tampa
deserves
it.
R
R
So
what
are
some
of
the
solutions?
Increase,
sidewalks
and
Curves
in
East
Tampa
pave
our
roads
without
leveraging
CRA
dollars
help
us
get
a
grocery
store,
make
Tico
trim
the
tree
trims.
The
tree
limbs
out
of
power
lines
package,
our
properties
and
Shop
it
to
investors,
like
other
parts
of
the
city,
include
East
Tampa
and
the
city
budget.
Each
year
until
East
Tampa
catches
up
increased
public
art
in
East,
Tampa
beautify,
our
Parks
rec,
centers
and
playgrounds
light
up,
East
Tampa
light
the
corner
of
West,
Shore,
Boulevard
and
Gandy.
R
If
you
have
not
traveled
there
at
night,
it
almost
looks
like
daytime
it
that
one
intersection
we
could
use
that
at
plenty
of
our
intersections
within
East
Tampa,
invest
dollars
in
improving
the
homeless
situation
in
East
Tampa
that
was
kind
of
pushed
into
our
community
to
save
surrounding
communities.
Also
increased
efforts
from
solid
waste
and
code
enforcement
to
clean
up
the
area.
R
So
step
four
correct
housing
concerns
in
East
Tampa.
This
part
I
will
do
a
lot
of
reading,
but
I
think
it's
very
important
that
this
is
read
into
the
record.
So
this
is
from
Richard
rothstein's
book,
the
color
of
law,
a
forgotten
history
of
how
our
government
segregated
America.
So
we
can
get
a
better
understanding
of
where
we
are
when
it
comes
to
housing
and
why
we
are
so.
We
work
to
end
racial
segregation
in
all
areas
of
this
country
except
residential
segregation.
R
We
argue
that
this
happens
just
by
chance
and
that
it
was
not
an
act
done
by
the
government,
and
thus
we
have
no
obligation
to
do
anything
about
it.
But
we
know
this
is
false,
because
de
facto
residential
segregation
is
a
myth,
it
happened
by
policy
and
the
only
way
to
end
it
is
by
policy
so
to
Scholars
and
social
critics.
The
racial
segregation
of
our
neighborhoods
has
long
been
viewed
as
a
manifestation
of
a
scrupulous
real
estate
agents,
unethical
mortgage
lenders
and
exclusionary
covenants
working
outside
the
law.
R
This
is
what's
commonly
commonly
known
as
de
facto
segregation
practices
that
were
the
outcomes
of
private
activity,
not
law
or
explicit
public
policy.
Yet
as
Rothstein
breaks
down
in
case
after
case,
private
activity
could
not
have
imposed
segregation
without
explicit
government
policies.
Does
your
segregation
designed
to
ensure
the
separation
of
African
Americans
from
whites,
a
former
Colony
columnist
for
the
New
York
Times,
and
a
research
associate
of
the
economic
policy
Institute
as
well
as
a
fellow
at
the
Thurgood
Marshall
Institute
of
the
NAACP
legal
defense
fund.
R
Rothstein
has
spent
years
documenting
the
evidence
that
government
not
merely
ignored
discriminatory
practices
in
the
residential
sphere
but
promoted
them.
The
impact
has
been
devastating
for
generations
of
African
Americans
who
were
denied
the
right
to
live
where
they
wanted
to
live
and
raise
school
and
raise
and
school
their
children
where
they
could
flourish
most
successfully.
R
While
the
Fair
Housing
Act
of
1968
provided
modest
enforcement
to
prevent
future
discrimination,
it
did
nothing
to
reverse
or
undo
a
Century's
worth
of
State
sanctioned
violations
of
the
Bill
of
Rights,
particularly
the
13th
Amendment,
which
banned
treating
former
slaves
as
second-class
Citizens.
So
the
structural
conditions
established
by
the
20th
Century
Century
federal
policy,
endured
to
this
day
the
color
of
law,
offers
an
original
insightful
explanation
of
how
government
policy
in
the
U.S
intentionally
promoted
and
enforce
residential
racial
segregation.
R
The
central
premise
of
his
argument,
which
falls
for
fundamental
re-examination
of
American
constitutional
law,
is
that
the
Supreme
Court
has
failed
for
decades
to
understand
the
extent
to
which
residential
racial
segregation
in
our
nation
is
not
the
result
of
private
Decisions
by
private
individuals,
but
is
the
direct
product
of
unconstitutional
government
action.
The
implications
of
his
analysis
are
revolutionary,
so
racial
segregation
does
not
just
happen.
It's
made
written
with
a
spatial
imagination,
this
exacting
and
exagent
book
traces.
R
How
public
policies
across
a
wide
spectrum
include
discriminatory
zoning
taxation
subsidies
and
explicit
redlining
have
shaped
the
racial
fracturing
of
America
at
once.
Analytical
and
passionate
the
color
of
law
discloses
why
segregation
has
persisted
even
deepened
in
the
most
post-civil
Rights
era,
and
thoughtfully
proposes
how
remedies
might
be
pursued,
and
so
these
are
more
reviews
on
it,
but
I
want
to
get
into
an
interview
with
Rothstein,
so
it
takes
many
people
by
surprise.
This
whole
story
has
been
forgotten.
It
used
to
be
well
known.
There
was
nothing
hidden
about
it.
R
The
federal
government
pursued
two
important
policies
in
the
mid
20th
century
that
segregated
metropolitan
areas.
One
was
the
first
civilian
public
housing
program
which
frequently
demolished
integrated
neighborhoods
in
order
to
create
segregated
public
housing.
The
second
program
that
the
federal
government
pursued
was
to
subsidize
the
development
of
suburbs,
on
a
condition
that
they
be
only
sold
to
white
families
and
that
the
homes
in
those
suburbs
had
Deeds
that
prohibited
resale
to
African
Americans.
These
two
policies
work
together
to
segregate
metropolitan
areas
in
ways
that
they
otherwise
would
never
have
been
segregated.
R
What
the
federal
government
debt
the
FHA
is
guaranteed
bank
lows
for
construction
and
development
to
Levittown,
on
condition
that
no
homes
be
sold
to
African
Americans
and
that
every
home
have
a
clause
and
its
deed
prohibiting
resale
to
African
Americans
we're
not
talking
about
the
Deep
South
at
all,
we're
talking
about
the
north,
the
West,
the
Midwest
and,
of
course
we
know
it
did
happen
in
the
South
as
well.
The
Great
American
novelist,
Wallace
stegner
got
a
job
right
after
World
War
II
at
Stanford
University,
there
was
an
enormous
civilian
housing
shortage.
R
He
joined
and
helped
to
lead
a
Cooperative
of
400
families
who
bought
a
large
tract
outside
Stanford
University,
where
they
wanted
to
build
single-family
homes.
The
FHA
refused
to
ensure
those
homes
were
feet.
Homes
refused
to
ensure
those
homes
refused
to
provide
the
capital
for
construction,
because
the
400
member
Cooperative
had
three
African-American
members.
The
Cooperative
tried
to
resist
the
fha's
demand
promising
the
FHA
that
the
number
of
African
Americans
and
the
co-op
wouldn't
exceed
the
percentage
of
African
Americans
in
California
as
a
whole.
R
So
in
this
interview
with
Shapiro
and
Rothstein,
he
explains
your
book
also
explains
one
way
in
which
black
neighborhoods
became
unzirable.
You
describe
zoning
laws
in
which
black
parts
of
town
were
officially
zoned
for
industrial
plants,
waste
disposed
disposal
other
things
that
we
would
consider
a
blight,
and
meanwhile
those
businesses
were
explicitly
kept
out
of
white
neighborhoods
in
the
same
cities.
We
all
know
that
McKay
Bay
is
right
at
the
end
of
East
Tampa.
R
We
also
know
that
in
East
Tampa
and
in
the
Eastern,
ebore
Area,
very
Industrial,
so
yes
they're
examples
in
St,
Louis
and
Los
Angeles
neighborhoods
that
once
once
they
had
African-American
residents
were
rezoned
to
permit
industrial
and
toxic
uses.
Those
rezonings
turned
those
neighborhoods
into
slums.
White
families
outside
those
neighborhoods
looked
upon.
The
neighborhoods
saw
slums
and
concluded
that
African
Americans
were
slum
dwellers
and
if
they
moved
into
their
neighborhoods
into
the
white
neighborhoods,
they
would
bring
those
conditions
with
them
Shapiro.
R
So,
as
you
lay
out
this
history,
these
segregationists
discriminatory
and
harmful
structures
were
built
over
the
first
half
of
the
20th
century
and
then
Congress
passes
the
fair
housing
act
in
1968,
which
says
many
of
those
practices
were
illegal
unconstitutional
and
they
stopped
for
the
most
part,
the
worst
ones.
Why
doesn't
that
solve
the
problem?
Rothstein
says
well,
because
all
the
Fair
Housing
Act
could
do
was
prohibit
future
discrimination.
But
by
the
time
the
Fair
Housing
Act
was
passed.
The
patterns
of
segregation
had
been
firmly
established.
R
Simply
passing
a
fair
housing
act
did
not
enable
African
Americans,
who
were
previously
living
in
urban
areas
to
relocate
to
the
suburbs
from
which
they've
been
excluded.
I
gave
the
example
earlier
of
Levittown
in
1947-48
when
those
homes
were
built
with
a
racially
restrictive
policy,
so
those
homes
sold
for
about
eight
thousand
dollars
a
piece
or
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
more
or
less.
In
today's
currency,
African
Americans
working
class
families
could
have
bought
those
homes.
R
Today,
though,
those
homes
sell
for
300
to
400,
000,
they're,
no
longer
affordable
to
working
class
families
in
the
ensuing
two
generations.
The
white
families
who
moved
into
those
homes
gained
that
200
300
000
in
equity,
appreciation,
African
Americans
living
in
rented
Apartments
prohibited
from
moving
to
the
suburbs
gained.
None
of
that
appreciation.
The
result
is
that
today,
Nationwide
African-American
incomes
on
average
are
about
60
percent
of
white
incomes,
but
African-American
wealth
is
about
five
to
seven
percent
of
white
wealth.
R
That
enormous
difference
is
almost
entirely
attributable
attributable
to
unconstitutional
Federal
housing
policy
practice
in
the
mid
20th
century.
So
how
do
we
correct
this?
In
my
opinion,
it's
first
understanding
it
and
acknowledging
it
being
intentional
and
putting
dollars
behind
the
campaign
promises
that
we
hear.
R
So
some
cities
create
free,
walking
tours
to
Showcase
African-American
communities.
I
gave
some
examples:
Salem's
black
Heritage,
you
have
another
in
Grand
Rapids,
you
have
another
DC,
but
our
African-American
communities
have
been
demolished
and
destroyed.
So
our
tour
would
only
be
able
to
point
out
what
used
to
be
here
instead
of
what's
actually
here.
R
We
could,
however,
put
together
a
tour
of
the
African
Americans
who
helped
to
shape
the
city,
like
some
don't
know
about
Ann
Lowe,
a
black
designer
and
granddaughter
of
slaves
who
make
gowns
for
socialites
in
Tampa
and
designed
Jacqueline
Kennedy's,
iconic
wedding
dress,
and
she
was
she
resided
in
Tampa
for
many
years
and
located
in
place
an
appropriate
marker,
George
Middleton's
grave.
We
have
some
important
people
that
we
could
highlight
within
the
city
and
we
can
also
tell
the
story
of
dolbyville
what
happened
to
a
Beyond,
a
simple
marker
within
the
city.
R
So
these
are
just
examples
of
Tours
that
we
could
potentially
put
together.
So
there's
so
much
more.
The
city
of
Tampa
can
do
to
preserve
black
history
and
help
tell
the
story
of
the
African
and
black
Americans
who
helped
to
shape
the
city.
So,
of
course,
it
all
depends
on
when
we
get
started,
but
again
I
just
wanted
to
make
certain
that
from
here.
We
knew
why,
because
I
think
when
it
comes
to
black
history
in
the
city,
we
understand
a
lot
of
it,
but
I.
S
That
was
so
impressive.
I
was
going
to
ask
if
you're
the
one
that
put
this
together,
then
I
see
on
the
last
slide
that
that
you
did
put
this
together
and
I'm
gonna
I.
Have
it
printed
out
and
I'm
gonna
keep
this
as
reference,
because
you've
gone
so
in
depth,
everything
from
cemeteries
to
neighborhoods
to
what
happened
with
the
law?
How
you
know
you
mentioned
Levittown,
you
mentioned
so
many
things
that
are
so
significant
and
and
help
explain
why
we
are
where
we're
at
so
East
Tampa
in
general.
S
You
mentioned
something
like
you
know.
They
should
say
that
Ybor
city
is
part
of
East,
Tampa
and
I.
Think
it
is.
It
resides
within
those
boundaries.
But
what
is
the
key
word
that
makes
something
attractive
or
Sparks
interest?
It's
historic!
So
I'll
give
you
an
example.
My
half
my
family
lives
in
Sicily
right.
My
dad
is
the
one
child
that
came
here.
His
two
sisters
lived
there.
My
aunt
bought
an
apartment
in
a
Palazzo
like
a
castle.
S
S
She
bought
it
because
she
liked
it
and
because
it
was
cheap,
I
think
she
may
have
paid
thirty
thousand
dollars
at
the
time
and
nobody
had
any
interest
in
it.
Since
then,
it's
Chic
historic
I,
don't
know
what
it's
worth
today,
but
it
it's
become,
like
you
know,
like
we
say
historic,
Hyde,
Park,
Hyde
Park
wasn't
like
this
50
40
years
ago,
areas
in
town
that
people
didn't
pay
attention
to,
because
they
were
old.
S
That
neighborhood,
where
my
aunt
bought
that
apartment,
it's
on
a
four
I,
don't
even
a
million
dollars
for
an
apartment
now
and
she
paid
nothing
because
it
was
decrepit
and
old
and
falling
apart
and
whatever.
But
somebody
came
in
other
other
people
came
in
and
said:
look
at
the
beauty
of
this
historic,
whatever
it
was
and
they
revitalized
it.
S
We
see
what
what
historic
preservation
does
when
people
pay
attention
to
it.
I
saw
a
picture
yesterday
from
August
1962
of
Ybor
City,
showing
the
beginnings
of
the
construction
of
the
interstate
and
how
they
were
just
barreling
through
Ybor
City,
and
you
see
how
I-4,
as
you
mentioned
on
one
side
is
it
looks
one
way
and
on
the
other
side,
North
and
South,
it's
completely
different,
but
then
again
with
Ybor
City
people
came
together
whenever
it
was
40
50
years
ago,
and
they
said
you
know
historic,
it
was
the
Latin
quarter.
S
They
advertised
it
a
certain
way,
then
in
the
90s
and
2000
with
Greco
they
had
Centro
evil.
They
had
you
know
Property
Owners
coming
in
and
they
they
restored.
The
Italian
Club,
which
you
couldn't
even
go
to
the
second
and
third
floor
of
the
Italian
Club
years
ago,
because
it
was
it
was
unsafe.
But
now
look
at
the
Italian
look
at
the
Cuban
Club,
the
central
Studio
on
and
on
and
on
people
said
we
have
to
preserve
this
history
so
and
there's
so
much
information
that
you
put
out
there
and
I
want
to.
S
You
know
get
straight
to
the
point
here
when
my
family
bought
their
first
house
in
Tampa.
They
lived
in
Robles
Park
when
they
first
came
from
Cuba,
they
rented
a
house
and
they
bought
on
48th
Street
in
East
Tampa
in
1965.,
and
my
grandmother
told
me
that
the
neighborhood
was
the
Cubans
and
the
Italians
and
the
immigrants
that
were
coming.
You
know
those
first
wave
of
human
immigrants
that
came
in
the
60s
and
that's
how
it
was,
but
little
by
little
those
people
moved
out
of
the
community.
S
S
You
saw
Hillsboro
Avenue,
going
from
very
vibrant
to
how
the
commercial
vibrancy
went
to
Dale
Mabry.
You
know
Dale
Mabry,
to
me
from
what
I
know
and
understand.
Hillsboro
was
what
Dale
Mabry
is
today.
In
many
ways
you
have
Irwin
Tech
used
to
be
the
Sears
like
a
like
a
major
Sears.
You
had
so
many
businesses.
S
My
mother
tells
me
of
you
know
when
we
go
down
Hillsborough
or
Martin
Luther
King
used
to
be
Buffalo.
She
would
say
this
doctor
this
insurance
agency.
Your
grandparents
would
go
here.
We
would
shop
there
on
and
on,
but
so
much
left
the
community
and
went
to
other
parts
as
Tampa
grew,
but
we
forgot
that
area
and
hit
you
know.
East
Tampa
is
is,
is
beautiful
because
of
that
history,
when
you
were
showing
housing,
oh
it's
starter
homes,
but
what
about
the
really
nice
homes?
There's
a
house
on
Martin
Luther,
King
close
to
40th
Street.
S
That
was
built
I
think
in
1962,
which
I
think
is
one
of
the
best
examples
of
mid-century
modern
designs.
If
you
look
at
the
home,
it's
very
I'll
show
it
to
you
one
day,
but
that
was
a
it's
a
nice
house
now.
I
can
only
imagine
what
it
was
then,
but
it
seemed
like
people
started
moving
out
of
the
community
and
things
started
to
change
in
the
interstate
and
people
started
going
out
into
the
suburbs
and
Carrollwood
was
built
and
people
were
going
to
Brandon
and
people
were
going.
B
S
S
We
have
a
a
short
history
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
world
as
the
United
States
Tampa,
as
the
city
1887
or
you
can
go
back
a
little
bit
further,
is
such
a
short
amount
of
time
compared
to
the
ancient
Romans
and
the
Greeks
and
the
Egyptians,
but
look
how
they
preserve
their
history
that
it's
thousands
of
years
old.
You
do
an
excavation
in
Italy
and
you
might
find
a
mosaic
tile
floor
that
was
from
2000
years
ago,
ancient
Roman
times
and
how
they
preserve
it
here.
S
If
a
building
is
50
years
old,
they
demolish
it,
they
redo
communities,
they
push
people
out
of
communities
and
they
forget
the
story.
The
rest
of
the
world
likes
to
tell
that
story.
You
look
at
go
to
the
Vatican
Saint
Peter's
Basilica.
They
have
the
alleged
remains
of
Saint
Peter,
a
disciple
of
Jesus
Christ
from
2000
years
ago.
We
know
where
his
tomb
is,
but
you
can't
find
Middleton's
grave
here
in
Tampa.
You
don't
you
know
so
many
cemeteries
that
were
paved
over
here.
S
That
might
be
a
hundred
years
old,
maybe
67
years
old,
but
they
pave
over
that.
The
point
that
I'm
making
is
there
have
been,
and
people
want
to
admit
it.
You
talk
to
people
from
back
in
the
day
and
nobody
says
that
they
were
racist,
but
they
were
the
undertones
were
there
they
pushed
out
certain
communities,
they
demolished
certain
communities.
We
had
an
area
dolbyville
Okay
some
remains,
but
what
about
the
scrub?
What
about
Central
Park
area?
What
about
Central
Avenue?
What
it's
gone?
There's
Perry,
Harvey,
Park
and
maybe
two
or
three
structures.
S
We
don't
do
a
good
job,
preserving
our
history
unless
it's
very
specific
look
at
Hyde,
Park,
historic,
Hyde,
Park
and
they
are
so
organized
and
so
protective
of
the
architecture
in
the
homes
Ybor
City,
even
with
urban
renewal,
with
so
much
demolition
as
I
was
riding
through
board
City
last
night
off
7th
Avenue
on
the
north
side
of
7th
Avenue.
You
know
when
you
go
up
to
eighth
and
what
it's
all
parking
lots.
S
S
We
have
to
do
that
with
these
Tampa
I
think
it's
with
the
historic
preservation,
the
historic.
The
rebranding
of
this
is
a
special
Community.
It's
the
largest
CRA.
So
we
can't
say
all
the
funding.
Isn't
there
that
we,
you
know
the
funding
can
be
there
to
make
improvements.
Why
do
you
say
that
Western
Gandhi
has
lit
up
so
brightly,
but
you
go
down
Martin
Luther
King
from
you
know
from
the
river
all
the
way
to
Pepin
and
it's
dark.
It's
not
well
lit.
You
have
unkept
sidewalks
the
quality
of
the
roads.
Why?
S
You
know
it's
not
about
equality.
It's
about
Equity,
the
rest
of
the
city
flourishes.
Yet
we
have
a
certain
part
of
town
that
we're
just
not
branding
correctly.
I
know
that
East
Tampa
has
a
new
logo.
You
know
we
are
East
Tampa,
it's
colorful
whatever,
but
we
need
to
do
more
and
I
think
we
do
that
by
tapping
into
the
historic
preservation.
Historic
preservation.
History
attracts
people.
People
want
to
know.
S
You
know
and
honed
with
this
because
I
just
keep
going
on
and
on,
but
we
have
so
many
new
people
that
move
to
Tampa
on
a
daily
basis
and
they
see
wow.
Look
at
Armature,
Works
wow,
look
at
the
Riverwalk
wow.
Look
at
Water
Street
look
at
this,
but
do
they
know
what
it
used
to
be
like
what
was
there
before
Armature
Works
was
abandoned
10
years
ago,
and
now
it
look
how
it
is.
The
Riverwalk
was
not
as
expansive
as
it
isn't.
You
know
like
it
like
it
is
today.
Look
at
it
now.
S
The
people
that
come
to
Tampa
now
know
the
know
the
temp
of
today,
but
do
they
know
the
story
of
yesterday
and
we
have
to
share
that
Beyond
Gasparilla
and
Ybor
City,
and
you
know
Cigar,
City
and
whatnot,
there's
so
much
more
to
tell
so
I'll
end
with
this.
Once
we
Rebrand
the
importance
of
all
of
our
neighborhoods
and
East
Tampa
is
you
know
you
can
start,
let's
say
just
to
make
it
easy
for
from
the
interstate
going
east
to
the
Pepin
building
right
by
the
cemeteries
and
stuff?
Look
at
all
that
history.
S
Look
at
all
those
neighborhoods,
you
drive
through
there
and
it's
a
lot
of
older
homes,
historic
homes,
older
building,
historic
buildings,
but
we're
just
not
telling
the
story,
and
when
we
tell
the
story
it
doesn't
get
into
you're
going
to
gentrify.
It
doesn't
gentrify,
it
lifts
a
community
up
because
people
will
start
paying
more
attention
going.
This
is
this
is
untouched.
This
is,
you
know,
look
at
this
area
before
Water
Street,
Jeff,
vinnick
and
other
people
had
the
the
foresight
to
say
they're
they're,
giving
stuff
away
here.
S
You
know,
look
it's
right
for
for,
for
the
for
the
Renaissance,
I,
don't
say
Redevelopment,
but
look
what
they've
built.
Why
can't
we
build
that
in
East
Tampa?
We
have
people
building
apartments
all
over
the
city.
Why
can't
we
focus
that
on
East
Tampa
I'm,
not
pushing
anybody
out
I'm
talking
about
give
East
Tampa
the
strong
middle
class
that
other
parts
of
the
community
have
the
equity
to
say,
hey.
We
have
the
restaurants
and
the
businesses
and
the
self-employed
individuals
and
something
that
we
can
all
be
proud
of.
So
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
S
This
was
wonderful,
there's
so
much
that
we
can
do
I.
Just
don't
feel
like
anybody
has
really
ever
focused
on
East
Tampa
I
mean
there's
good
council
members
that
do,
but
we
need
somebody
at
the
top.
We
need
people
that
say
look
at
the
opportunity
that
we
have
here
and
and
really
grasp
that
and
move
forward
with
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
I
think
you
did
a
fantastic
job
and
you
I
think
you
took
an
hour-long
presentation,
squeeze
it
into
half
hour.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that,
but
we
I
would
love
to
hear
the
long
version
at
some
point
too.
I
Stuff
and
on
lots
of
different
levels,
like
my
colleague,
said
to
the
with
your
marketing
hat
on,
you
brought
up
some
nuances
of
the
brand
that
that
I
hadn't
seen
even
though
I'm
a
marketing
person
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
get
out
that
narrative
and
and
work
on
the
the
modern
content
and
there's
some
historic
content.
I
That's
out
there,
but
some
Modern
content,
I
work
on
the
SEO
stuff
for
the
for
East
Tampa,
like
my
colleague,
said,
there's
a
new
logo,
but
if
somebody
Googles
East
Tampa-
and
they
come
up
with
things
that
aren't
impressive.
That
years
ago,
I
tried
to
sponsor
at
art,
photography
exhibition
to
look
at
the
architecture
and
style
of
East
Tampa.
So
the
idea
being
to
present
it
as
an
architectural
architecturally,
interesting
Community,
not
not
what
some
people
think
it
is.
So
it's
the
kind
of
same
concept
and
that
ended
up
falling
apart.
I
But
at
some
point,
if
you
want
I'm
happy
to
sponsor
a
lunch
or
coffee
with
whoever
wants
to
talk
about
The
Branding
of
East,
Tampa
and
and
and
you
facilitate
or
you
and
I
facilitate,
because
I
think
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
do
that,
and
what
I
always
say
is
that
we
need
to
not
look
at
East
Tampa
as
a
place
with
cheap
land
for
gentrification.
We
need
to
look
at
as
a
community,
that's
rich
in
history
and
culture
that
we
need
to
help
promote
and
and
and
help
evolve.
I
G
Well,
you
know
Mrs
Maniscalco
said
it.
You
know
from
day
one
I
said
we
have
to
have
a
wow
like
I
said
it
from
day
one
until
you
could
break
a
while
to
each
community
that
Community
is
dead,
it's
no
wild.
When
we
got
this,
we
finally
got
the
complex
coming
ain't
built
trip.
We
got
that
coming,
but
we
need
a
entertainment.
G
While
you
look
at
each
corner
of
the
city
in
the
other
districts-
and
you
know,
District
Five
is
has
many
facets,
but
the
bulk
of
five
is
the
middle
core
of
the
East
I
mean
they
don't
really
consider
the
rest
of
his
five.
It's
in
five.
When
you
have
downtown
Channel
Side,
we
got
tampons,
which
again
I
grew
up
as
a
boy
over
on
Park
Avenue,
so
I
know
how
that
area
was
white.
It
was
nothing
in
that
sexy
right.
There
were
Armature
kids,
but
now
look
what's
happened.
G
Someone
had
a
vision,
Mr
and
Mr.
Miranda
is
going
to
talk
about
something
we
just
talked
about.
I'll
give
him
that
opportunity.
I
won't
take
that
Thunder
from
him.
You.
Q
G
G
When
you
control
it,
you
can
develop
how
you
want
it.
So
what
you
say,
that's
why
I
always
say
he
stamp
has
to
start
buying
a
lot
of
money
start
buying
making
those
tracks
to
where
you
can
bring
that
wow
and
then
leverage
some
of
that
money
with
some
of
these
other
outside
organization
that
has
money
to
level
the
capital
to
bring
that
wireless
developers
to
bring
that
wow.
That's
how
that
has
to
work,
and
we
can
have
that
thing.
You
talk
about
Equity
I,
always
talk
about
that
too.
G
I
said
that
quality
all
day
long
but
am
I,
can
I
stand
where
you
standing.
You
understand
what
you're
standing
too
so
I
think
I
think
we
got
two.
What
I
call
strong
generals
that
understand
me
because
they've
been
on
a
place
and
they've
done
it
so,
and
they
have
the
passion
and
the
experience
because
see
once
you
live
through
something
you
understand
it
better
if
I
never
lived
through.
Something
I
want
to
think
about
what
you
tell
me.
G
G
It
was
so
interesting
empowering
to
hear
his
story
if
you
ever
get
a
chance.
Maybe
he'll
tell
you
that
story,
Miss
Gilly,
because
he
you
understand,
that's
why
him
and
her
get
it.
They
lived
it.
So
that's
why
they
get
it.
When
I
heard
this
story,
I
could
do
it
just
sit
there
and
you
shut
my
head,
like
you
know,
understanding.
G
Q
Thank
you
very
much
Madam
chair,
thank
you.
Miss
grudley,
for
your
final
presentation
and
and
as
I
was
listening
to
something
I
was
all
of
it.
I
was
listening
to
How.
Do
you
accomplish
what
you
want
to
do
and
every
day
the
price
of
something
goes
higher,
because
the
Tampa
has
been
recognized
and
people
want
to
come
to
Tampa
it
used
to
be
many
years
ago
when
I
was
first
got
elected,
I
could
cross
Florida
Avenue
at
any
given
hour,
never
got
hit
by
a
car.
Q
In
fact,
we
used
to
roll
up
the
sidewalks
at
five
o'clock,
bring
them
back
out
at
nine
o'clock
in
the
morning.
You
can't
do
that
now
because
of
the
recognition
that
the
city
has
gotten
throughout
National
media
and
you
have
to
have
the
land
and
now
land
and
I'm,
not
an
expert
in
real
estate,
but
I
would
imagine.
Q
Land
costs
now
is
40
or
50
or
60
percent
of
a
package
to
build
something,
and
what
is
it
that
you
a
lot
of
people
where
I'm
at
in
West
Tampa,
they
call
I'm
sure
Mr
manscow
has
some
of
these
they'll
say?
Why
are
you
letting
these
people
build
this
big
house
here?
I
can't
tell
somebody
what
house
to
build
or
how
to
build
them,
but
they
wanted
the
way
it
was
I.
Don't
know
how
to
do
that.
I'm
sure
that
in
East
Tampa
a
lot
of
people
wanted
the
way
it
is.
Q
But
nice
and
modern
a
lot
of
people
want
a
new
home,
bigger
house.
So
there's
a
there's,
a
teetering
there
that
we
have
to
find
out.
Why
and
how
they
want
it
built
that's
number
one,
but
number
one
really
is
to
purchase
the
land.
If
you
don't
have
land,
the
cost
of
a
house
is
very,
very
high
and
it's
going
to
be
higher.
Q
That's
my
assessment,
maybe
I'm
wrong,
but
I
don't
think
I
am
when,
when
you
have
a
house
you
have
two
houses,
then
then
you
have
three
houses
and
it
multiplies
and
it
catches
on.
But
really
you
can't
build
one
here
and
one
there
and
one
here
and
one
there
goes.
Nobody
sees
it.
They
only
see
one
house.
If
you
do
it
together,
you
do
one
block.
Q
They
see
that
when
they're
dead
all
upon
the
Deleon,
they
did
a
marvelous
job
in
changing
it
to
look
beautiful
compared
to
what
it
was
popular
and
all
those
things
that
were
there
are
mindset
in
people's
minds.
But
in
order
to
accomplish
those
things,
it
comes
back
to
one
thing
again:
you've
got
to
have
the
land
and
if
we
don't
have
the
land,
all
the
dreams
that
you
have
all
the
dreams
that
we
have
doing.
Something
is
very,
very
difficult.
Q
Q
That's
a
lot
of
money.
It
wasn't
like
that
20
years
ago,
but
20
years
ago
we
also
didn't
know
it
was
going
to
happen
like
it
happened.
So
you
have
you're
chasing
yourself
in
a
way.
Not
you
us,
so
you
have
to
be
proactive
in
thinking
that
it's
going
to
happen,
because
if
you
don't
think
that
way,
it
is
never
going
to
happen.
Q
You
have
to
be
positive
and
you
have
to
buy
the
land
and
you
have
to
start
doing
what
you
need
to
improve
the
housing
market
for
the
people
who
really
need
it
and
let's
face
it,
we
get
blamed
for
a
lot
of
things,
but
I'm
also
not
responsible
for
the
price
of
gas,
the
price
of
meat,
the
price
of
eggs,
but
I'm
responsible
for
a
lot
of
other
things.
I
wish
I
could
solve
them
all
all
of
us
wish.
Q
We
could
sell
them
all
somehow
we
can't,
but
we
can
buy
land
and
put
it
in
the
land
bank
to
need
what
you
need
and
by
the
way,
what
you're
talking
about
on
the
development
that
happened
just
north
of
the
city
in
the
city
limits
that
beautiful
area.
Now
that
has
got
more
I
went
by
there
last
night,
you
couldn't
find
a
parking
spot.
If
you
had
a
bicycle,
you
couldn't
put
it
between
cars.
That
was
how
packed
it
was.
That
area
is
just
unbelievable.
Q
T
T
What
can
CRA
How
can
the
city
of
Tampa?
How
can
we
change
Google's
perception
or
their
dissemination
of
falsehoods
of
East
Tampa?
We
all
know
the
great
restaurants
in
East
Tampa.
We
know
all
the
great
stores
in
East
Tampa.
We
know
the
good
things
in
Tampa.
How
can
you
are
as
a
marketer?
How
could
the
perception
the
false
Narrative
of
East
Tampa
be
changed
so
that
we
can
attract
the
developers
so
that
we
can
attract
the
grocery
stores?
T
R
Get
with
the
marketing
consultant
marketing,
Guru
I
mean
they.
They
know
how
to
go
in
with
seos
and
and
update.
Information.
Wikipedia
is
something
that
you
can
take
ownership
of
and
update
that
information.
Because
years
ago
there
was,
there
was
negative
information
about
downtown
on
Google.
If
you
Googled
it,
it's
like
downtown
Tampa
sucks.
R
There's
nothing
here,
blah
blah
blah,
so
you
actually
be
intentional
and
you
go
in
through,
like
I
said
marketing
companies
seos
and
you
start
to
you-
you
put
more
positive
information
than
the
negative
and
soon
the
negative
flows
out,
and
so
it
leaves
just
positive
information
when
you
Google,
but
it's
you
being
intentional
and
saying:
hey
we're
not
going
to
keep
this
bad
information
up
about
our
city,
we're
going
to
work
to
make
certain
it's
removed.
So.
T
Our
first
step
should
be
is,
is,
is
stopping
all
the
false
dissemination
of
the
excuse
me
all
the
dissemination
of
these
falsehoods
and
say
no
look.
Look.
We
have
a
wonderful
section
of
town
here
and
oh
by
the
way
investors
you
want
to
come
in
to
this
this
part
of
town.
Look
at
the
rich
history.
We
have
look
at
all
the
wonderful
things
we
have
here
in
East,
Tampa
Now's,
the
Time
for
you
to
come
absolutely.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
and.
U
And
thinking,
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
Dennis
Italy
I,
appreciate
that
you
know.
I
I've
always
thought
that
we
should
actually
I,
don't
know
if
we
I
don't
believe
we
do,
for
the
City
of
Tampa
government
have
a
retained.
A
historian,
I'd
love
to
see
like
our
friend,
Fred
Hearns,
maybe
be.
The
official
retained
historian
for
the
City
of
Tampa
I.
Think
I'll
probably
bring
that
up
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
Why?
Why
not
right
I?
Think
that's
something!
That's
very
important.
U
You
know
with
with
too
many
of
our
figures
here
in
the
city
of
Tampa
who
are
African-American.
We
don't
remember
them
the
way
that
we
should
I.
Remember.
U
Just
recently,
we
had
the
100th
birthday
of
of
Robert
Saunders,
a
real
hero
of
Tampa
who
took
over
the
NAACP
after
the
murder
of
Harry
T
and
Harriet
Moore
in
1951,
and
he
was
a
Tampa
guy
and
he
lived
here
and
there's
you
know
not
I
know
the
I
I
worked
with
commissioner
Myers
in
doing
something
with
a
library
there,
but
there
wasn't
that
kind
of
a
celebration
that
we
should
have
for
such
a
Tampa
hero
as
that,
when
it
comes
to
history,
I
want
to
talk
about
not
only
figures
who
have
been
for
too
long,
and
you
mentioned
some,
which
is
wonderful,
but
also
you
know
the
the
history
of
how
we
got
here.
U
You
talked
about
some
things
like
that,
including
the
violence.
I
mean
I'd,
urge
people
to
go
to
newspapers.com
or
read
the
book
by
Dr
Robert
Ingles,
on
on
the
lynching
history
in
in
the
city
of
Tampa
and
read
what
that
there
was
a
term
in
Tampa
won't
get
into
it,
but
it
used
to
be
called
the
houstonized
and
check
what
that
is
there
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
people
don't
know
about
that.
They
really
really
should
know
about.
U
I
was
recently
in
with
my
wife
in
Beaufort
South
Carolina
in
Charleston,
South
Carolina,
and
you
talk
about
Charleston.
To
me
to
me
is
the
kind
of
city
that
hasn't
really
reckoned
with
its
history
at
all
at
all,
during
during
and
before
the
Civil
War
I
think
that
city
was
about.
U
I
may
be
misquoting
here
about
75
percent
slave
right
and
and
you
you
don't
see,
the
kind
of
discussion
at
least
I
feel
when
I
was
there
in
in
Charleston
in
terms
of
public
monuments,
memorials
Etc
et
cetera
that
you
should
have.
We
need
to
do
a
much
better
job
of
that
in
Tampa.
U
That's
why
I
was
proud
to
work
with
representative
Fentress
Driscoll
on
the
Equal
justice
initiative,
lynching
marker
to
talk
about
some
of
that,
and
it's
it's
obviously
very,
very
difficult
incentive
to
talk
about,
but
but
it's
something
that
we
need
to
have
as
a
city,
heck
I
mean
look
the
the
the
the
lynching
that
we
talked
about
in
the
marker
of
this
gentleman,
Robert
Johnson
in
January
of
1934.
part
of
it.
U
U
Think
of
talking
of
that,
but
I
really
appreciate
all
your
work
and
whatnot
remember
working
with
you
seven
years
ago
with
the
the
Tampa's
band,
Bar
Association
and
George
Edgecombe
on
some
things,
including
with
your
wonderful
father,
Mr
Johnny
Goodley.
So
we
appreciate
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
Member
Carlson,
so
you're
gonna
have
the
last
word
just
to
what
board
member
Viera
just
said.
If
we
work
with
head
Fred
Hearns,
which
I
think
is
a
good
idea,
could
we
please
do
it
through
the
History
Center
they're
already
partnering
with
us
on
the
Jackson
house
and
their
repository
a
lot
of
African-American
history
and
I
know.
B
I
Commissioner
is
looking
to
set
up
a
separate
African-American
history
Center,
but
if
we,
if
we
can
Outsource
to
a
group
that
has
large
resources
supporting
Mr
Hearns,
then
I
think
we
could
get
some
great
results.
Thank
you.
C
I
I
appreciate
your
wonderful
presentation
and
my
colleagues
comments,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
something
that
you
mentioned,
that
we
haven't
talked
about
yet
and
not
the
policy
pretty
much,
that's
our
job.
So
when
we're
looking
to
change
policy
when
we're
doing
anything,
it
is
incumbent
upon
us
to
not
say
hey,
we,
you
can't
just
pitch
in
a
hole
and
look
at
it.
Every
time
we
make
policy
in
the
city,
we
need
to
think
about
that.
There
needs
to
be
the
remembrance.
C
We
need
to
think
of
how
equitable
is
this
for
everyone.
It's
every
community
and
I,
really
love
that
you
brought
that
up,
because
that's
just
something
that
we
have
to
do
constantly.
We
can't
just
say
we
need
to
focus
on
one
bill.
It's
every
single
policy
that
comes
in
front
of
the
city
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
reminder
this
morning
and
making
it
so
intent
and
clear.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
presentation
really
appreciate
it
and
I'm
that
that
is
what's
going
to
stay
with
me.

To
think
about
equality,
of
course,
board
member
Goods.
G
A
F
F
Let
us
do
our
job,
we
know
what
we're
doing.
We've
done.
It
we've
done
it
before
you
change
the
narrative.
I
started
to
write
articles,
updating
your
website,
writing
blogs
and,
having
you
know,
they
kind
of
investment
that
Ms
Goodley
was
talking
about.
That's
needed
that
that
this
investment
happened,
but
the
investment
that's
happening.
It
doesn't
happen
overnight.
We
have
a
marketing
person,
Miss,
B
parks
and
the
cacs
are
interfering
and
want
to
hire
it
outside
their
own
marketing
person.
F
G
It
on
that
note
on
that
note:
Miss
Travis,
you're,
right
you're,
the
guru
but
I'm
going
to
say
one
thing
since
you
brought
up
about
that
position
that
each
Tampa
pays
for,
because
that
young
lady
is
not
doing
all
of
CRA
work,
she's
doing
City,
work
and
I
know
she
is
she's
not
doing
all
the
ca.
East
Tampa
work,
she's
doing
City
work,
I.
G
G
Dirt
number
three
I,
don't
know
who
that
person
is
number
number
three
that
person
in
East
Tampa.
You
know
to
do
her
job.
She
can't
because
the
city
jumps
in
the
city
wants
to
take
over
and
take
credit,
and
then
it's
it's
not
it's
not
a
a
equal
balance
there,
because
that
person
is
hired
by
East
Tampa
to
do
CRA,
EVS
Tampa.
That
person
should
have
sole
control
of
the
communication,
the
marketing
and
all
that
and
the
press
releases,
not
the
administration's
person
and
I
know.
G
That's
not
happening
so
I
think
that
needs
to
be
corrected,
and
that
needs
to
be
correct
because
those
are
their
dollars
and
they
should
not
have
to
be
a
person
doing
work
for
the
city
when
they're
paid
to
do
CRA
work
for
your
staff.
F
I,
don't
disagree
that
there's
a
mix
of
messaging
and
there
needs
to
be
some
intentional
Direction
on
we've-
talked
about
that
in
the
past
of
the
cra's
investment
and
being
able
to
to
Market
that
and
so
that
the
taxpayers
know
how
their
dollars
are
working
for
them,
and
so
we've
talked
about
that
instead
of
having
I.
F
Don't
want
this
to
be
like
a
marketing
conversation
I'm,
just
saying
like
we
do,
we
hear
you
we
understand
and
you
have
to
give
it
time
to
work,
but
also
not
interfere
in
Direction,
that's
being
had
in
some
of
the
the
Staffing
and
restructuring
that
we
talked
about
is
part
to
to
kind
of
handle.
Exactly
what
you're
talking
about
Ms
Goodley
is
right,
like
those
when
you
put
that
information
in
the
search
engines
and
that
stuff
comes
up,
you
start
putting
it,
you
have
to,
you,
can
buy
it
and
you
could.
F
But
you
can
also
do
authentic
blogging
and
intentional
work
to
change
the
messaging
and
the
narrative.
It
has
to
be
done
and
we
can
do
it
and
we
need
to
get
the
right
people
in
place
and
the
right
strategy
and
make
sure
that
the
communication
of
the
CRA
is
not
overshadowed
by
the
communication
of
other
City
efforts.
Councilman
cross.
I
We
could
talk
about
this
more
offline,
but
you
know
one
of
the
things
I
do
in
my
other
job,
is
community
branding
and
have
been
locally
I've
been
very
involved
in
the
St
Pete
brand
over
the
last
30
years,
starting
with
the
building
the
Arts
brand
in
the
90s
and
then
more
recently,
building
the
tech
brand
and
Innovation
brand
and
an
example.
What
we
this
is
kind
of
pre-internet,
but
in
the
in
the
90s.
I
What
we
did
was
the
city
had
limited
city
of
St,
Pete
had
limited
resources
and
we
created
Created
template
messages,
logo
thing
and
then
we
gave
it
to
the
20
different
arts
groups
that
were
there
and
then
we
we
provided
micro
grants
to
help
them
promote
it,
and
so
what
we
understood
then-
and
it's
especially
too
true
now
with
SEO-
is
that
the
the
brand
is
is,
is
accelerated
and
Amplified
by
all
the
community
groups
and
so
I
think,
if
especially
in
the
area
of
SEO,
whatever
resource
the
city
and
the
CRA,
have
it's
not
going
to
be
enough
to
to
do
this
by
ourselves
right?
K
If
I
may
and
I
and
I
don't
want
to
take
up
more
time,
I
know
administrator
Travis
is
about
to
jump
into
the
next
topic.
But
you
know
the
chairwoman
wrapped
up
and
she
talked
about
policy
and
I.
Think
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
if
I
didn't
share
some
some
policy
issues
with
you
that
I
witnessed
at
the
the
last
East
Tampa
CAC
meeting.
K
You
know
because
you're
you
have
a
partnership
that
that
this
board
is
engaged
in
to
provide
down
payment
assistance,
and
you
heard
Mr
Daniels
in
his
public
comment
mentioned
that
Warrick
Dunn
has
done
a
lot
for
this
city.
Well,
this
board
and
the
administration
partnered
with
Mr
Dunn
to
provide
housing
in
East
Tampa,
and
we
did
that
through
our
down
payment
assistance
program
with
the
housing
division
as
well.
K
So
you
know
your
CAC
elected
not
to
vote
and
go
forward
with
an
opportunity
to
add
more
funding
to
your
housing
program,
and
so
now
we
have
to
put
that
on
hold.
So
when
you
talk
about
alignment
of
policy
and
that
Equity
piece
I
think
that
you,
you
all
have
to
know
what's
happening
at
your
CAC
level,
that
is
impacting
us
here
and
now
you
know
we
can't
go
forward
with
that
program.
K
We
have
to
put
it
on
hold
until
we
can
come
back
before
you
after
we
go
back
and
try
to
present
this
again
to
the
CAC,
so
we'll
take
another
stab
at
it
and
the
same
thing
on
the
real
estate
Acquisitions.
Many
of
you
have
said.
We
have
said
that
we
need
to
go
and
acquire
property,
but
I
sat
and
I
watched
your
CR.
K
Your
CRA
manager
in
East
Tampa
have
to
answer
a
plethora
of
questions
about
an
acquisition
that
was
on
the
table
at
the
time
right
and
that
was
directly
counter
to
what
this
board
has
asked
for.
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there
to
say
that
you
know
part
of
what
we
attempt
to
do
is
to
align
what
you
say
here
back
with
your
cacs,
and
it
doesn't
often
translate
Yes.
G
G
I
think
you
got
to
reinstitute
those
these
Tampa
has
the
partnership.
You
got
the
CEC,
you
got
all
these
committees,
you
got
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on.
You
got
another
group
that
says
this
and
that
this
no
streamline
of
policies
when
and
what
ticks
me
off
when
this
sport
not
go
by
the
actual
recommendation
when
this
board
go
says,
go
do
something
they
don't
know.
Why
we're
going
back
to
a
CDC.
The
board
has
already
set
the
tone
in
the
room.
G
So
if
we
said
we
want
to
buy
that
property,
you've
already
talked
to
the
CEC
whatever.
But
if
this
borders
make
the
final
decision
to
go,
do
whatever
I
don't
know
why
we're
going
back
to
the
CAC?
We've
already
told
you
what
to
do,
but
we
go
back
and
keep
going
round
and
round.
We
don't
get
nothing
done.
G
We
already
said
we
want
housing
to
be
a
priority.
We
already
said
that
by
land
we
were
already
told
your
managers
to
buy
land,
so
that
should
be
the
managers
telling
us.
He
say
the
board,
which
is
the
policy
maker,
will
take
your
ideas,
but
the
board
said
we're
buying
land
and
that's
what
I'm
seeing
I'm
seeing
these
boards
are.
Just
you
know
whatever
they
want
to
do,
which
I
don't
have
a
problem.
We
need
Community
input.
I
want
from
the
input,
but
after
this
body
here
says,
go,
do
your
job.
G
What
we
want
I,
don't
know
why
we
keep
going
back
asking
permission
again.
We've
already
told
you
what
we
want
it
done
when
you
already
had
meetings
at
the
means,
the
meanings
to
do
something
like
yesterday,
you
didn't
have
a
lack
of
corn.
You
needed
to
get
that
done
because
the
market
is
risen,
so
you
need
more
money
to
help
people
with
the
assistance
to
get
into
the
housing.
People
can't
afford
it,
but
the
problem
is
they
are.
G
It
is
high,
but
if
I
give
you
more
money
to
meet
your
pay,
it
brings
your
mortgage
down
again
to
where
I'm,
giving
you
more
dollars
and
cents
we're
trying
to
get
people
into
housing.
No
difference
I
say:
look
at
all
these
dilapidated
buildings
and
churches.
We
should
be
buying
that
stuff.
We
should
have
bought
Funland.
We
should
be
buying
this
stuff
to
be
able
to
get
people
in
there.
So
that's
my
point
right
now
and
I
hope
you
come
back
with
that
structure
that
we
can
convey
to
the
cacs.
We
want
your
ideas.
G
The
input
is
great.
We
take
those
all
into
account,
but
when
the
final
decision
comes
to
this
board,
you
go
and
execute
period.
You
go
execute
and
that's
why
East
Tampa
has
failed.
There's
been
no
execution
if
I
call
a
plate
and
I'm
the
head.
Man
and
I
call
the
plate
and
the
quarterback
don't
execute.
Where
is
he
at
Mr
Miranda
where's,
the
where's
that
ball
player?
If
I
tend
to
do
something
and
I've,
given
the
order?
You
know
where
he's
at
I
don't
know
if
I'm,
not
the
quarterback.
G
So
I'm
just
I'm
just
saying
when
you
come
back,
it
needs
to
be
some
structure,
so
the
CD
sees
to
know
their
role.
They
know
this
sport
is
the
policy
maker.
You
bring
it
back
to
them.
They
talk
about
disgusting,
but
once
you
bring
it
back
in
this
board,
it
makes
a
final
decision.
We
go
execute
and
that's
all
I
got
to
say
on
that
and
that's
why
each
table
is
behind
because
there's
no
execution.
F
You
requested
that
staff
of
here
and
provide
a
report
regarding
reallocations
of
unused
and
unappropriated
surplus
for
housing
programs
and
in
fact
you
get
the
PowerPoint
presentation
for
item
number
three.
Please
thank
you
and
so
board
members.
If
I
I'd
like
to
jog
your
memory
on
how
we
got
here
in
2020,
there
was
a
motion
made
by
councilman
Carlson
that
the
CEO,
the
cras
look
towards
a
30
or
more
allocation
in
the
different
CRA
district
for
funds
towards
to
be
used
towards
affordable
housing
or
Workforce
housing.
F
That
motion
was
passed
unanimously
with
the
7-0
vote
and
then
subsequent
to
me
becoming
your
interim
CRA
director
I've
heard
in
multiple
meetings,
not
just
CRA
meetings,
that
this
request
was
made
of
staff
and
we
have
not
implemented
or
executed
on
that
in
August
18th
of
2022.
There
was
a
motion
made
by
councilman,
sitro
and
seconded
by
councilman
goods
for
staff
to
bring
this
presentation
back
to
you.
Looking
at
reappropriating
reallocations
and
using
unappropriated
Surplus
in
that
vote
was
unanimous,
with
the
60
councilman,
Viera
being
absent,
and
then,
let's
fast
forward,
you've
had
numerous
conversations.
F
Since
the
beginning
of
this
year,
since
I
became
the
administrator
about
from
citizens,
and
we've
had
numerous
public
comments
about
what
are
we
doing
for
housing?
Affordability
when
it
came
to
when
it
came
to
your
budget
meetings
that
conversation
continued,
and
you
continue
to
hear
from
the
public,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
on
discussion
on
the
funding
that
was
allocated
for
housing
programs
and
a
desire
to
increase
those
allocations.
F
What
I
presented
to
you
during
the
budget
Workshop
was
that
there
was
a
26.4
million
dollar
fundings
with
multiple
sources,
whether
it
be
General
funds,
state
and
federal
Grant
programs.
When
you
were
acting
as
a
body
as
the
city
council,
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
of
wanting
additional
funding
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
shared
with
you
is
that
as
a
body,
you
control
about
57
million
dollars
of
your
CRA
funding
and
that
Mr
drumgo
was
going
to
execute
on
the
Motions
that
were
made.
F
When
you
asked
us
to
look
at
the
30
allocation
in
each
one
of
the
cras.
Elise
went
to
each
one
of
the
CRA
meetings
and
conveyed
your
direction
and
intention
to
those
cacs
and
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
each
one
of
the
budgets
with
you
in
a
few
minutes
and
just
a
second
slide
on
continuation
of
conversations
of
spending
or
allocating
money
towards
affordable
housing.
You
mentioned
it
again
in
your
CRA
budget
meeting
on
September
20th
and
then
on
September
20th.
F
At
your
City
Council
budget
meeting,
you
discussed
the
intent
to
add
CRA
funding
in
addition
to
the
26.4
million
dollars
of
state
and
general
fund
money
that
you
had
in
other
buckets
and
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
each
one
of
the
CRA
districts
with
you
to
show
you
what
that
30
allocation
is
you
should
note
that
staff
worked
with
our
revenue
and
finance
office
to
create
a
bucket?
That's
called
the
affordable
housing
initiatives
fund.
We
did
not
have
that
fund
before.
So.
F
If
we
were
to
run
a
a
report
on
how
much
money
was
spent
on
affordable
housing
initiatives
in
our
CRA
budget,
it
was
not
cataloged
specifically,
so
you
might
have
programs
under
different
buckets.
So
now
we
have
an
affordable
housing
initiative
code
in
our
budgeting
system,
that
any
program
or
money
that
we
spend
would
go
into
this
code
and
you
can
easily
pull
reports
to
see
how
those
programs
fall
into
that
bucket
in
your
downtown
CRA.
F
They
formally
voted
to
reallocate
funds
from
their
neighborhood
infrastructure
to
affordable
housing
fund.
So
the
red
highlight
is
showing
you
where
that
the
line
item
that
that
money
came
from
and
that
30
percent
and
that's
30
percent
of
the
new
increment
in
that
line
item
that
goes
to
affordable
housing
initiatives
so
in
downtown.
What
we're
proposing,
based
on
your
direction
that
you've
provided
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear.
F
This
is
the
direction
that
the
CRA
board
has
provided
for
staff,
and
this
is
not
Nicole
Travis,
at
least
Jungle
of
the
administration's
request
to
move
this
forward.
So
there
you
have
6.9
million
dollars
in
downtown
and
before
I.
Go
to
the
next
slide
is
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
with
the
30
allocation
or
that
aspiration
allocation.
It
doesn't
always
have
to
buy
land.
F
You
can
partner
with
developers
to
offset
the
cost
of
infrastructure
costs,
impact
fee
costs
and
the
higher
in
the
proper,
where
property
costs
more
to
get
affordable
units
as
a
part
of
new
development
projects.
So
it's
not,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
all
acquisition.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
all
down
payment
assistance.
It
could
be
any
kind
of
program
that
supports
housing,
affordability
in
these
districts,
the
next
crew.
I
I,
remember
Carlson:
how
do
you
say
one
thing
reminded,
especially
for
downtown
the
reason
why
this
is
important
is
because
if
you
look
at
163,
it
really
has
four
things
that
you
can,
that
you
can
Define
it
more
broadly,
but
it
has
four
things
that
you
can
spend
money
on
slum
blight
disease
and
affordable
housing.
I
Yes,
and
there's
really
no
slim
and
blight
in
downtown
we're
just
past
covet,
hopefully,
and
so,
there's
no
disease,
so
that
a
primary
justification
to
keep
the
downtown
One
open
would
be
spending
money
on
affordable
housing
because
that's
specifically
defined
in
the
in
the
law.
A
lot
of
things,
as
my
colleague
said,
a
lot
of
things
that
the
Sierra
money
has
been
spent
on
is
kind
of
borderline
because
it
didn't
really
in
the
past,
didn't
really
deal
with
slim
and
blight.
F
F
They
recommended
supporting
attainable
housing
by
researching
how
to
best,
spend
Channel
District
CRA
increment
Revenue,
but
because
the
board
voted
and
directed
us
to
look
at
that
30
percent.
What
I'm
showing
you
here
is,
if
you
were
to
adopt
this
budget,
what
that
30
percent
would
look
like,
and
so
in
the
red
that
three
million
dollars
came
from
the
line,
item
capital
and
Improvement
projects
that
has
20
21
million
dollars,
and
that
would
be
three
million
dollars
in
the
affordable
housing
initiatives.
F
G
F
I'm
telling
you
is
that
the
board
did
not
formally
make
a
recommendation
percent
I,
so
you
talked
about
earlier
the
role
of
cascra
board
and
executive
I
report
to
you.
You
made
a
motion,
and
so
these
are
recommendations
based
on
the
motion.
Well
not
recommended.
This
is
a
response
to
the
Motions
that
you
made,
and
so
you
can
choose
to
adopt
all
of
the
CRA
boards
with
the
30
allocation
that
you
just
that
you
talked
about
or
do
it
differently
for
each
one
of
the
districts.
F
We've
we've
had
at
least
I
would
say
at
least
three
different
conversations
with
different
development
projects
in
Channelside.
That
talked
about
know
that
we're
trying
to
do
housing,
affordability
and
talked
about
different
ways
that
we
can
help
their
performer.
If
they're
subsidizing
those
units,
we
have
to
make
them
well,
we
don't
have
to
make
them
whole,
but
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
help
make
them
whole
so
that
the
development
is
successful.
F
You
want
the
developers
to
be
successful
right
and
so,
whether
that's
helping
them
with
impact
fees,
whether
that's
helping
them
at
a
cost
per
unit,
there's
different
ways
to
do
that,
and
these
funds
could
be
done.
So
your
CAC
can
pretty
much
write
programs
or
figure
out,
what's
best
to
use
the
funding
for
to
support
the
affordable
housing
initiatives.
So
again,
this
is
me
responding
to
your
request
as
a
board
and
showing
you
what
that
30
would
look
like
and
where
we
took
that
money
from
to
achieve
the
request
of
this
board.
That's.
F
Next,
you
have
the
Tampa
Heights
Riverfront
CRA,
the
Tampa
Heights.
There
was
no
formal
vote.
This
is
one
of
your
smaller
districts,
but
they
after
taking
out
the
CDD
obligations
we
have
affordable
housing
initiatives
would
be
that
30
would
be
at
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars.
F
In
your
Central
Park
CRA
again
no
formal
vote.
This
is
one
of
your
smaller
CRA
districts,
the
30
percent
in
Central
Park.
You
would
put
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
that
affordable
housing
initiative.
The
Central
Park
cre
has
also
had
the
Johnson
home
historic
preservation
project
listed
as
capital
Improvement,
but
it
was
done
done
in
concert
with
the
housing
authority
and
will
result
in
an
affordable
housing
project.
So
those
adjustments
would
be
done
so
to
show
that
this
that
project
falls
under
your
affordable
housing
initiative.
F
In
Ybor
City
one
CRA
District,
if
we
took
the
money
from,
we
took
the
money
from
different
spaces
from
your
landscape,
signage,
streetscape
repairs
and
also
the
district
promotions
to
have
a
affordable
housing
initiative
line.
Item
of
945
000,
the
eboard
CAC
elected,
to
set
aside
funding
to
hire
a
consultant
to
show
to
best
show
how
to
spend
the
money
and
they
voted
to
set
aside
five
percent,
not
the
30
percent.
What
I'm
showing
you
on
this
is
how
to
attain
the
thirty
percent.
F
In
in
Ybor,
City
District
and
two
there's
a
million
dollars
left
in
the
district
Landscaping,
but
that's
where
we
took
some
of
this
money.
We
also
took
money
I,
think
from
50
000
from
the
infrastructure
Grant
ten
thousand
from
targeted
business
and
in
incentives
to
get
426
thousand
dollars
towards
our
affordable
housing
initiatives.
The
two
line
items
are
not
shown
in
on
the
screen
just
because
of
the
detailing
of
the
budget.
F
We
had
to
break
this
down,
so
it
could
fit
on
one
page,
but
across
both
Ebor
City
one
and
two
you
would
have
1.3
million
dollars
to
put
towards
affordable
housing
initiatives.
Should
you
move
forward
with
this.
F
In
East
Tampa
CRA,
this
CRA
had
there
they
had
already
had
money
towards
affordable
housing
initiatives,
they're
also
carrying
forward
750
000
in
owner
occupied
rehab.
A
million
dollars
in
a
line
item
called
alternative
housing
options.
This
is
where
you
can
start
to
explore
stuff
like
the
adus
and
different
type
of
options.
The
CAC
did
vote
to
move
1.4
million
dollars
from
The
Continuous
improvements
to
the
housing,
affordable,
housing
options,
and
so
the
set
aside
for
East
Tampa
CRA
on
the
affordable
housing
initiatives
is
9.2
would
be
9.2
million
dollars.
F
Drew
Park,
you
have
6.8
million
dollars
remaining
in
the
neighborhood
infrastructure
improvements
line
item
and
that
30
set
aside
would
be
one
million
dollars
for
your
affordable
housing
initiative.
F
They
also
have
550
000
that
would
carry
forward
from
fiscal
year
2022
to
this
current
fiscal
year.
So
a
part
of
the
recommendation.
Well,
the
part
of
the
vote
that
you
need
to
take
with
your
with
doing
this
is
reallocating.
Those
unused
funds
with
West
Tampa
West
Tampa
was
another
one
that
already
had
money
towards
housing
initiatives
is
so
the
CAC
voted
to
move
a
million
dollars
from
neighborhood
infrastructure
to
down
payment
assistance.
F
That
million
dollar
move
that
they
voted
on,
got
them
to
the
30
set
aside,
that
this
board
directed
them,
and
then
there
was
some
conversation
in
I,
think
councilman
Carlson.
F
You
had
asked
about
interest
earned
on
the
CRA
money
and
the
different
and
the
different
tip
funds,
and
so
what
you
see
on
your
screen
is
the
requested
adjustments
for
the
30
that
you've
asked
for
with
each
one
of
the
districts
to
achieve
the
housing,
affordable,
housing
initiatives
and
then
at
the
bottom,
or
excuse
me
on
the
right
column,
unallocated
interest
earnings
from
each
one
of
those
Tif
districts.
So
that's
money
that
we've
gained
on
money.
F
That's
in
our
accounts
that
need
to
be
or
could
be
programmed
and
allocated,
and
that's
2.2
million
dollars
across
all
Acra
districts.
So,
should
you
move
forward
with
implementing
your
intentions
of
the
30
percent,
plus
that
2.2
of
allocating
the
interest
earned
on
the
different
tips?
You
would
be
putting
20
million
dollars
towards
affordable
housing
initiatives
from
the
CRA.
C
Yes,
board
member
Carlson
do.
I
You
know
we
most
most
government
agencies
put
unused
money
into
something
like
a
fund
balance
or
a
reserve
fund,
or
something
like
that,
and
we
discovered
during
covet
that
that
the
cras
were
storing
money
in
the
interest
account
and
so
I
made
a
motion.
We
approve
to
make
sure
that
swept
into
some
kind
of
Reserve
balance
every
year.
Do
you
know
if
that's
been
happening,
or
is
it
all
still
accumulating
in
the
interest
account
and
and
if
there's
a
fund
balance
in
a
separate
account?
F
I
What
I
mean
is
that
the
interest
account
was
used
as
storage
from
year
to
year,
yeah,
instead
of
just
instead
of
just
being
interested,
it
was.
It
was
like
a
savings
account
that
should
have
been
put
into
into
some
kind
of
Reserve
fight.
It
should
be
we
in
fact,
we
we
passed
a
motion
to
make
sure
it's
swept
every
year
from
the
interest
account
into
a
reserve
account.
So
do
you
know
if
that's
been
happening?
I
F
I
F
The
money
that
we're
caring
for
that's
a
part
of
this-
it
has
it's
in
it's
in
totality,
so
this
is
all
of
it,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
you'll
see
moving
forward
I'm
still
here,
if
you
still
want
me,
is
that
when
you
do
your
budgeting,
you
should
not
be
looking
only
at
the
tax,
increment
Finance
or
the
tax
increment
funding
new
tip.
You
should
be
looking
at
any
interest
or
any
lease
payments
or
any
income.
F
It
should
be
shown
as
income,
so
the
interest
earning
should
be
presented
as
income
and
will
be
presented
as
income
moving
forward,
and
then
you
get
to
decide
how
you
want
to
appropriate
the
interest
off
of
those
funds.
If.
I
You
just
could
you
just
check
because
we
passed
this
a
couple
years
ago,
just
like
the
housing
thing?
Maybe
it
was
never
done,
but
we
did
pass
a
motion
to
make
sure
that
that
money
in
the
interest
account
is
swept
into
some
other
account.
So
it's
obvious
to
us
and
the
public
that
it's
that
it's
a
money
that's
being
carried
for
year
to
year
and
it's
not
just
kind
of
hidden
in
an
interest
account.
That
was
a
very
unusual
accounting
from
my
point.
C
F
So
you're,
looking
at
10
million
dollars
of
new
increment
financing,
this
is
money
that's
being
rolled
over.
This
includes
money
that
has
been
unspent
in
fiscal
year
at
22
that
can
be
carried
forward.
So,
yes,
the
to
our
to
the
best
of
our
ability
when
we
were
doing
the
budgeting
going
through
our
budget
meetings.
The
only
thing
that
we
could
calculate
is
what
the
30
would
be
off
of
new
increment.
F
F
Would
achieve
that
you,
let's
see
you
got
46.
I,
believe
without
me
doing
the
math
here
I
believe
that
if
you
were
to
adopt
this
budget
in
addition
to
yes,
I
think
that
you
would
have
achieved
what
you
were
trying
to
achieve
at
the
budget
meeting
where
you
were
asking
for
a
certain
dollar
amount
in
ten
percent.
Ten.
C
Percent,
this
would
be
over
that,
but
yes,
so
I
was
I
was
looking
for
10
of
General
funds,
and
you
know
it
was
hard
to
do,
but
this
with
the
CRA
dollars
would
really
top
that
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
finding
this
and
for
the
work
you've
done,
because
this
is
almost
double
that
it's
it's
seeing.
The
numbers
is
is
really
astonishing
and
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
board,
member
Carlson.
I
Yes,
sir,
you
take
another
bite
here.
You
know
the
most
we've
got
some
of
the
leaders
of
the
of
the
affordable
housing
groups
in
the
audience
today,
and
we
hear
this
drum
beat
at
all
the
City
Council
meetings
that
we
need
to
do
more
I,
the
last
I
looked.
This
was
more
than
the
than
the
county
past
a
few
years
ago.
I
It
maybe
their
numbers
have
gone
up,
but
the
idea
here
is
that
we're
we
as
a
CRA
board
have
been
working
really
hard
and
and
the
cacs
I
think,
from
their
point
of
view,
are
making
a
huge
Sacrifice
by
switching
money
that
they
thought
they
could
spend
on
other
things
toward
this,
and
so,
as
a
community
we're
coming
together
to
try
to
do
something
positive,
two
two
things
I'd
ask
going
for:
maybe
you
have
more
slides,
but
one
if
we
could
be
again
setting
guard
rails
or
being
prescriptive
about
what
the
options
are.
I
We
say
we
had
two
or
three
options
for
for
the
cacs
to
recommend
on
how
to
use
that
money
in
their
District.
As
Mr
scaglione
said,
every
District's
not
the
same.
There's
not
land
I've
talked
to,
for
example,
consultantberg,
who
has
some
ideas
on
how
how
we
could
put
affordable
housing
within
some
of
the
new
buildings
that
are
being
built,
and
so
there
are
ideas
like
that,
and
there
are
areas
that
have
de
Nova
land
that
we
can
develop.
So
we
need
to.
I
We
need
to
put
some
options
in
about
how
we
can
be
creative
at
it.
We
know
that
just
like
Ms
Goodley
presented
There
Was
Fear,
going
back
in
the
in
the
70s
and
60s
that
that
that
bringing
poor
people
or
black
people
into
your
community
would
mean
creating
slum
implied,
and
we
know
that's
not
true,
but
also
bringing
affordable.
Housing
scares
people
too,
but
we
know
from
from
studying
the
things
like
Miss
Goodley
brought
up
this
morning,
is
that
we
don't
want
to
create
concentrations
of
poverty
like
we're
created
in
the
60s.
I
We
don't
want
big
buildings
or
big
complexes
with
a
thousand
people
who
are
unsubsidized
housing.
We
want
to
disperse
it
and
so
that
we
can
create
multi-layers
of
of
economy
and
and
Society
within
communities,
and
so
any
way
we
can
be
creative
about
that.
And
the
last
thing
is
that,
as
we've
said
before,
sometimes
when
the
city
makes
announcements,
they
combine
the
CRA
money
with
the
city's
money
on
affordable
housing.
I
I
They
want
to
know
that
money
like
this
is
being
spent
wisely
to
solve
important
problems,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
brand
whatever
we
do
as
CRA,
that
CRA
is
doing
a
good
job
and
it's
worth
the
investment
it's
worth
having
to
deal
with
whatever
issues
we're
not
paying
for
in
other
areas.
So
as
those
areas
are
subsidizing
what's
going
on
in
these
areas,
report.
G
G
G
G
He
said
this
and
he's
been
sitting
on
that
channel
sideboard
for
a
while,
and
he
got
upset
because
of
the
things
and
wish
he
would
have
stayed.
You
know
because
he
I
mean
he's
whiz
at
these
things.
I
see,
Mr
scaglion
is
out
there
too.
He
has
ideas
too,
to
put
together
some
stuff.
He
says
he
has
a
wealth
of
knowledge
as
well.
G
G
I'm
gonna
be
honest
with
you:
I
don't
want
to
get
parked
down
to
doing
a
giving
somebody
a
million
dollars
and
blowing
a
million
dollars
or
somebody
come
into
a
study
and
there's
something
hangs
on
the
shelf
and
you
do
nothing
so
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
be
advocate
of
of
tons
of
studies.
That's
just
a
way
of
not
doing
anything
to
me.
In
my
opinion.
G
Just
then
things
drag
out.
Yes,
we
have
a
housing
crisis.
It
seems
like
things.
Some
things
are
starting
to
come
a
little
bit
we're
nowhere
near
out
of
it
we're
nowhere
near
nowhere
they're
out
of
it.
G
You
know
if
it
feels
like
I
got
an
apartment
complex,
but
almost
30
people
are
going
to
get
evicted
in
a
week
or
two
right,
I
mean
so
and
again
it's
not
about
poor,
but
I
always
feel
that
you
know
if
I
look,
good
I
feel
good
if
I
feel
good
I
do
good,
that's
what
any
color
of
race
of
people
when
you
mix
people
together.
If
I
see
this
guy
here
driving
a
Ferrari
and
I'm
driving
a
hooptie
I
want
to
know
what
that
guy
does
he's.
My
neighbor
I
don't
know
what
that
guy.
G
You
know
who
he
is
I
wonder
what
that
guy
does
that?
Maybe
there's
an
opportunity
with
this
guy,
but
I
can
introduce
myself,
hey
man.
What
do
you
do?
Hey,
I
like
that
car
you
get
that
car.
You
know
now
my
mind
experience
and
he
said
well.
Yeah
I
do
this
this
and
that
you
know
well
I
do
this
this
night.
It
is
an
opportunity
and
that's
what
communities
do
to
bring
people
together.
G
It
builds
people
up
if
I
live
in
trash.
All
like
that's
all
I
know
and
I
got
I
got
everybody
around
me.
Who's
living
the
trash
and
nobody
has
an
idea
how
to
get
us
out
of
the
trash
we
continue
to
live
in
trash,
but
if
I
get
a
chance
to
get
out
I'm
not
coming
back,
that's
what
happens
in
a
lot
of
communities.
I
get
out,
but
I
never
come
back.
G
G
It's
reality
and
I
know
some
cacs
may
be
a
little
upset,
but
a
good
conscience
when
I
say
that
type
of
money
and
you
find
unused
money
and
I
got
people
screaming
and
yelling
about
housing.
I
just
wouldn't
be
a
good
counselor.
If
I
wouldn't
say,
we've
got
to
take
care
of
the
people
who
are
struggling.
You
know
and
find
again
with
those
cdc's
initiatives
to
spend
this
unused.
Money
is
unused
untapped
money,
I'm,
not
saying
the
30
will
last
forever.
It
may
only
last
a
year
or
two.
You
can
come
back
and
revamp
this.
G
No,
but
to
Mr
Carlson
point
and
again,
whoever
you
know
who
whoever.
However,
this
council
is
going
I
think
it
should
be
some
type
of
you
want
to
say
Manny,
but
rule
that
at
least
go
to
one
CRA
conference
to
learn
about
cras
to
learn
about
the
rules.
Mr
Carlson
is
right.
When
you
look
at
the
rules,
we
ain't
been
doing
no
housing
per
se.
Only
maybe
a
couple
cras
they've
been
breaking
the
rules,
I
hate
to
say
that,
but
we've
been
breaking
the
rules.
Okay,.
G
We
haven't
done
we
what
what
what
what
I
think
full
potential
there
you
go.
You
always
give
me
those
great
words:
Miss
Travis,
but
again
we
now
I
see
we
have
to
exercise
our
full
potential
with
unused
money.
I.
Thank
you
for
what
you've
done
again
and
again,
I'm
being
supportive,
this
I'm
sorry
to
say,
but
I've
got
to
deal
with
the
housing
situation.
T
S
You
know:
I
was
listening
to
people
like
Mr
scaglione
who's
been
invested
in,
for
example,
the
channel
district
for
almost
40
years.
You
know
we
have
all
this
money,
20
million
dollars.
Do
we
have
a
plan
on
how
it's
going
to
be
application,
applied?
S
How
you
know
a
comment
was
made
earlier
that
we
should
have
you
know
we
should
have
looked
at
buying
land
years
ago.
Now
it's
what
10
million
dollars
an
acre
in
this
part
of
town
and
whatnot.
You
know
what
what
do
we
do
with
20
million
dollars?
How
do
we
begin
to?
Is
it
for
down
payment
assistance
for
rental
assistance?
Are
we
going
to
be
buying
real
estate
and
building
x
amount
of
units
or
what
happens
now
sure
so.
F
Each
one
of
your
cre
districts
have
a
would
have
a
different
amount
of
money
in
affordable
housing
initiatives
and
so
I
wouldn't
suggest
buying
land
in
Channel
Side
at
10
million
dollars.
An
acre
I
would
suggest
using
that
money
to
help
developers
that
will
include
affordable
housing
units
in
their
new
development,
helping
them
with
their
impact
fees
or
some
infrastructure
costs.
That's
still
so.
In
exchange
for
that
you're
getting
affordable
housing
in
Ebor,
you
have
second
floors
that
are
vacant.
You
can
use
money
to
help.
F
You
know
with
some
of
the
code
requirements,
that's
needed
to
activate
the
second
floor
of
a
building
in
East
Tampa.
You
have
down
payment
assistance.
At
least
stromgow
just
told
you
about
the
CAC
disrupting
Quorum,
not
to
move
forward
down
payment
assistance.
F
Some
of
this
stuff,
I'm
gonna,
bring
back
to
you
and
because
the
CAC
won't
act
on
some
of
this,
but
just
understand
that
when
Mr
drum
girl
went
to
the
cacs,
he
did
share
like
a
an
a
la
carte
list
of
programs
that
were
already
in
place,
but
any
CAC
is
not
limited
to
just
what's
on
that
list.
If
there's
something
unique
in
that,
CAC
would
like
to
do
something
differently.
That's
not
on
that
list.
The
activation
of
the
second
floor
is
not
on
that
list.
F
S
What
happens
to
let's
say
Ybor
City
I
see
here
a
million
and
a
half
dollars,
roughly
1.4
million,
and
they
don't
use
it
all.
Can
that
money
then
whatever's
on
spent?
Can
it
be
left
in
that
CRA
to
be
used
for
other
things
or
once
we
vote
to
dedicate
20
million
dollars
broken
down
through
all
these
different
cras?
Is
that
a
forever?
No.
F
It
would
be
my
recommendation
that
if
you
were
to
move
forward
with
this
budget
today
that
when
it
comes
time
to
do
budget
for
2024,
that
you
don't
immediately
get
rid
of
that
money,
because
some
deals
may
still
be
in
progress,
you
haven't
fully
had
a
chance
to
work
them,
but
at
any
point
you
can
reallocate
those
funds.
For
instance,
if
there
was
a
project
in
eboard
that
you
wanted
to
to
incentivize,
and
you
didn't
have
enough
money
in
the
other
fund,
but
you
needed
to
take
a
couple
hundred
thousand
from
this
one.
F
This
body
can
make
a
decision
to
do
that.
Should
you
be
presented
with
a
unique
challenge
like
that,
too,
you
still
reserve
the
right
to
reallocate
funds
at
a
later
time
as
you
deem
fit.
It
would
be
my
record,
my
professional
recommendation,
that
when
you
allocate
money
for
new
initiatives
like
this,
you
have
to
staff
up.
There's
an
administrative
you're
talking
about
20
million
dollars,
additional
funding
to
put
towards
how
you
need
more
people
to
administer.
F
You
know
money
that
kind
of
money
and
that
kind
of
programming.
So
all
of
this
is
doing
not
just
there's
not
a
silver
bullet
in
solving
our
affordable
housing
or
housing
crisis.
We
have
to
attack
it
from
all
different
angles.
So.
S
S
If
we,
you
know,
we
vote
to
approve
it
today
and
then
three
months
from
now
something
comes
up
in
Ybor
City
or
something
comes
up
in
Drew
park.
For
example,
we
say:
look,
we
need
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
for
this.
We
need
what
we
can
vote
to
say,
transfer
that
money.
Yes,.
F
F
S
Give
me
some
a
vote
today
would
not
mean
I'm
sorry
for
asking
all
these
questions.
That's
it
the
money's
been
through
the
money
that
way,
and
now
you
know
we
got
to
wait
years
to
to
recoup.
We
have
to
wait
till
whenever
we
can
always.
We
always
have
access
to
it
per
what
we
vote
on
what
is
requested.
What
situation
may
right,
you
know,
come
up,
yes,
okay!
Thank
you.
Q
You
very
much
I.
What
we
have
here
is
a
factual
number
correct.
Yes,
however,
the
unknown
is
the
cost
of
doing
business,
what
you're
going
to
spend
it
for
and
how
you're
going
to
spend
it.
The
difference
between
those
two
is
the
unspended
Monies.
So
that's
where
we're
at
yes,
so
that's
clear!
That's
it
simple!.
G
I
think
that's
crucial
that
you
have
a
housing
person
or
somebody
a
couple
people
designated
to
dealing
with
that
so
again,
I
for
me,
I,
look
at
money
has
just
been
seen
there
unused
and
if
it's
unused
we
should
be
spending
that
money
on
the
taxpayers,
especially
right
now
with
our
housing
situation
and
there's
no
way
where
I
could
not
wouldn't
support
this.
Knowing
that
I
have
money
that
I've
never
used
and
we
should
be
using
right
now,
I
I,
just
I
would
have
a
serious
problem.
Q
Q
Member
Miranda,
the
problem
is
and
I
said,
Mr
Goods
press
the
start
of
that.
This
money
is
not
accumulated
in
one
day.
These
ones
spend
it
fun
for
a
year.
That
does
the
sums
equal
the
same,
but
they're,
not
some,
don't
equal
the
sum
in
one
day
incident
with
365
years.
So
therefore
you
don't
know
what
funds
you're
going
to
have
expanded
when
you're
into
the
third
day
or
the
fourth
day
or
the
100th
day.
Until
you
come
to
the
closing
of
the
books
and
you
find
out
what
you
have
left.
Yes,.
F
That's
great:
it's
it's
an
accumulation
of
over
time
and
Madam
chair
may
I
put
Mr
Massey
on
the
spot
for
a
second,
please
absolutely
so,
just
so.
For
the.
H
F
And
for
anyone
that
understands
our
Redevelopment
plan,
we're
talking
about
a
housing,
affordability
and
we're
talking
about
consistency
with
your
Redevelopment
plan,
and
there
is
a
conversation
that
unless
it's
in
your
Redevelopment
plan,
you
can't
do
it
generally.
That's
right.
But
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing,
we've
had
the
opinion
that
and
if
I'm
asking
Mr
Massey
to
speak
to
that
that
if,
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing,
because
it's
listed
in
the
state
statute
as
an
allowable
use,
that
you
can
spend
money
on
affordable
housing
without
it
being
in
the
CRA
plan.
Q
C
G
V
F
G
Mr
Mr
Massey
do
we
need
to
go
in
the
midnet
and
reference
to
the
housing
and
for
a
plan
or.
E
We
have
a
number
of
plans
that
are
very
outdated
and
some
of
them
predate
a
lot
the
the
requirements
in
the
statute
dealing
with
affordable
housing.
Several
of
those
plans
are
being
updated
as
I
as
we
speak
so
at
hopefully
that
will
no
longer
be
an
issue
that
they
are
not
addressed
specifically
in
the
plans.
Yeah.
C
C
I'd
like
to
amend
that
to
include-
maybe
maybe
some
of
this
these
numbers,
so
that
folks
could
really
understand.
F
Thank
you.
We
have
a
few
items
that
staff
is
going
to
speak
to
I,
see
we're
coming
up
in
11
49,
so.
B
F
H
W
Good
morning,
Courtney
or
Ybor
City
urban
development
manager
and
in
a
response
to
a
motion
made
to
help
support
the
Marty
maseo
club,
we
did
meet
with
Sharon
Gomez,
who
is
the
director
of
the
social
club
individually
and
then
also
again
with
councilman
Vieira
present
and
asked
if
there
are
any
assistance
that
we
could
provide
with
any
issues
that
are
deteriorating,
the
building,
for
instance,
and
so
what
I'm
hoping
we
can
do
is
the
micro
grant
that
is
on
the
agenda
today
that
we're
asking
for
adoption
of
is
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
so
that
would
be
one
form
of
assistance
that
we
could
work
through
with
her
on
they.
W
We
already
do
have
the
facade
grant
that
she's
eligible
to
apply
for
there's
County
grants
that
she
can
apply
for
and
then
also
with
this
micro
Grant.
If
you
were
to
prove
and
reallocate
the
funding
that
we
need
to
to
put
into
that
line
item,
then
she
can
apply
for
that
Grant
very
soon,
soon,
so
I've
been
meet,
Jesus
and
I
have
met
with
the
County
division.
U
Thank
you
very
much.
Madame
chair
and
I
appreciate
all
your
hard
work.
You
know
the
the
thing
that
distinguishes
Marty
myself
from
all
the
Social
Clubs
is
that
Martina
Marseille
was
born
out
of,
and
we
all
agree
on
that.
A
terrible,
Injustice
then
then,
compounded
on
in
1965
with
urban
renewal
and
what
happened
then,
and
just
you
know,
ongoing
structural
discrimination
again
and
again
and
again
towards
its
members.
U
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
this
is,
and
this
is
why
I
brought
this
up
so
that
this
is
a
real
priority
for
our
CRA
and
and
I.
If
whether
we
do
a
grant
or
whether
we
look
at
existing
buckets,
I'm
fine,
so
long
as
they
wind
up
getting
the
money
that
they're
going
to
need,
I
think
that
times
are
going
to
become
rougher
for
them
in
the
coming
months
and
years
Etc
and
with
some
issues
happening
there
and
and
and
we
certainly
need
to
look
to
support
them.
U
So
I
really
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
you've
done
in
this
regard.
I'll
probably
motion
just
so
that
I
don't
forget
about
it.
To
maybe
have
this
come
back
in
six
or
nine
months
or
whatever
I
know
we,
we
talked
with
Sharon
about
a
number
of
things
that
were
needed
over
there
and
and
we've
worked
with
our
wonderful
attorney,
Mr
Massey
to
make
sure
that
they
fit
into
what
we
can
do
under
cras,
so
we'll
we'll
have
that
come
back
but
I'll,
but
I
appreciate
your
hard
work.
Thank
you.
U
Just
motioned
the:
what
are
we
in
we're
in
December?
How
far
does
the
calendar
go
out?
That
I
can
motion
on.
S
U
April
wow,
okay,
that
makes
sense
so
I'll
just
have
this
come
back
in
April
and
I'll
push
it
after
that
when
I
see
it,
I'll
probably
give
it
a
few
months
because
we're
going
to
need
more
time,
but
just
so
that
I'm
reminded
about
it.
So
if
I
may
all
have
this
motion
to
come
back
to
us
in
the
April
2023
meeting.
C
K
All
right
up
next
on
the
agenda,
we'll
handle
item
number
six
Jeff
Burton
is
here
to
speak
to
the
Tampa
Union
Station
request.
X
Good
morning
for
another
five
minutes,
the
Tampa
Union
Station
is
moving
forward.
It
has
gone
under
a
design,
build
process
which
is
one
of
the
fastest
processes.
You
can
run
through
government
to
have
something
improved
like
that,
the
the
contract
management
and
then
Department
put
forward
the
process.
We
had
a
number
of
vendors
apply
for
that
the
ranking
was
chosen,
the
the
consultant
was
negotiated
with
and
now
is
in
the
process
of
design.
This
is
to
be
incorporated
into
the
money
that
the
downtown
CRA
has
committed
to
the
main
structure.
X
Just
so
you
know,
as
soon
as
the
design
is
finished
and
can
and
is
ready
to
go
to
permitting
and
then
construction.
We
will
be
moving
forward
with
a
very
large
4x8
cra
sign
out
front
of
the
facility
and
also
a
groundbreaking
which
will
lead
to
a
ribbon
cutting
which
B
is
working
on
right
now.
We
have,
she
and
I
have
been
working
on
that
together
to
just
to
time
it
so
that
the
groundbreaking
isn't
way
too
far
in
advance
of
the
construction
itself.
That
would
be
a
little
silly.
Also.
X
We
have
committed
in
our
budget
this
year.
Another
750
thousand
dollars
for
artwork
for
the
same
project,
which
Robin
and
and
public
art
and
public
art.
Sorry
Robin
is
working
on
right
now
to
to
Begin
work
on
that,
so
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
have
those
two
working
at
the
same
time
and
and
all
the
improvements
at
one
time,
because
we
will
need
a
foundation
for
the
public
art
and
it
would
be
nice
to
have
the
contractor
do
that.
So
that's
where
we
are,
it
is
moving
forward.
X
It
has
been
moving
forward
at
a
pretty
brisk
pace
for
the
City
of
Tampa
and
look
forward
to
having
the
contractor
get
to
work
on
that
building.
A
S
And
very
very
important
building
that
and
I'm
glad
to
the
Friends
of
Tampa
Union,
Station
and
people
that
cared
about
this
building.
I
was
there
a
couple
weeks
ago,
as
were
other
council
members,
councilman
Miranda
was
was
there
with
me
for
the
baggage
building
that
was
restored
and
it's
beautiful
and
I
talked
to
so
many
wonderful
people
that
either
work
for
CSX
or
their
one
one
woman's
father-in-law.
S
Well,
a
gentleman's
father
used
to
work
there
years
ago,
post,
World,
War
II,
and
it's
one
of
those
significant
Tampa
structures
that
has
to
be
preserved
because
you
think
about
it.
Councilmember
Carlson
brought
this
up.
You
know
troops
leaving
there
during
World
War
II,
even
World
War
one
I
mean
that
building
is
I
believe
from
1912.
So
it's
seen
its
fair
share.
People
that
came
here
when,
during
the
times
of
segregation,
those
that
went
right
to
the
Jackson
house
and
others
went
to
the
the
I
think
it
was
a
Union
Station
Hotel.
S
That's
that's
demolished
as
of
recently
within
15
20
years
ago,
but
it's
such
an
important
structure
because
we
have
we
have
very
few
buildings
that
showcase
that
type
of
architecture.
It
predates
a
lot
of
the
social
clubs
that
we
have
in
Ybor
City.
It
predates
a
lot
of
the
department
store
building,
some
that
you
know
like
the
crest
building
right
down
the
street
from
here.
S
So
as
as
someone
who
loves
history
and
and
architecture
that
is
it's
like
going
back
in
time,
I've
taken
people
there
that
didn't
even
know
it
existed
and
they
walk
in,
and
you
know,
you'll
hear
everything
from
this
is
like
a
movie
set.
This
is
like
going
back
in
time.
S
This
is
you
know
you
couldn't
rebuild
it
if
you
wanted
to
today,
because
it
would
probably
be
cost
prohibitive,
but
again,
thank
you
and
and
thank
you
to
the
council
members
specifically
councilmember
Carlson,
that's
cared
about
this
building
and
you
know
has
brought
this
up
for
conversation
because
it's
so
important.
Thank
you.
X
This
the
CRA
plan
that
that
regulates
this
it.
Actually
it
is
one
of
the
it
is
the
oldest
plan.
It
is
you'll,
be
voting
today
to
to
update
it.
X
It
does
actually
speak
to
the
Tampa
Union
Station
and
it
talks
about
historic
preservation
of
buildings
on
the
national
register,
which
this
building
is,
and
it
is
also
in
the
central
business
district
which,
for
the
two
factors
that
had
to
occur
for
us
to
be
able
to
spend
the
money,
that's
pretty
hard
to
find
in
a
plan
that
old,
but
it's
there,
and
so
we
felt
comfortable
moving
that
money
and
we
even
included
those
references
in
your
documentation.
So
you
could
feel
supported,
knowing
that
you
could
vote
for
that.
X
Also
Tampa
Union
Station
is
becoming
the
epicenter
of
your
four
CRA
and
even
e-board
cra
centrification
right
there
between
all
the
way
from
Tampa,
Heights,
Central,
Park
and
downtown
and
channel
the
city
has
a
program,
the
mobility
it
called
Five
Points
and
that
building
is
at
the
center
of
all
of
this,
and
everything
seems
to
be
moving
right
to
that
point.
So
the
last
thing
I'll
say
to
it
is:
it
was
used
last
Thursday
or
Friday
by
usf's
School
of
Architecture
and
Community
design.
X
They
actually
did
a
study
of
the
North
Franklin
area
with
Trent
green
Professor
Green
and
his
students
and
they're
sending
us
all
of
their
ideas,
and
these
are
all
20-somethings
master's
degree,
students
in
architecture,
and
they
come
up
with
some
really
interesting
ideas
that
I
would
never
think
of
so
so
it
is
all
seems
to
be
centering
right.
Around
Tampa
Union
Station
board.
I
Yeah,
it's
if
you
when,
if
you
envision
what
it's
going
to
look
like
in
10
years,
it's
the
kind
of
front
door
to
Daryl,
Shaw's
property,
it's
the
front
door
to
Encore,
it's
the
back
door
to
Andy's
property
and
channel
District.
I
What
what's
the
status
of
our
ability
to
to
put
on
RP
for
the
co-work
space
and
and
coffee
shop?
I
know
the
city
would
officially
do
that,
but
but
we're
part
of
the
design
is
to
set
it
up
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I!
Wonder
how
far
away
are
we
from
being
able
to
do.
X
That
I
would
tell
you
we're
not
that
we're
not
there
yet
because
we
need
to
let
the
the
designers
design,
but
at
the
same
time
I
would
say
we're
probably
six
months
away
or
so
to
be
able
to
feel
comfortable
with
what
they're
doing.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
overstep
our
designers
and
and
then
that
way
we
know
the
space.
X
We
know
the
square
footage
and
also
any
of
the
amenities
that
are
in
the
building
that
can
be
used,
you're
going
to
need
to
have
those
for
an
RFP,
so
that
will
be
coming
soon
and
we
can
have
it
ready
to
go
prior
to
the
construction
of
the.
I
Building
yeah
I'm
sure
all
of
you
have
been
in
the
building,
but
if
you
haven't
been
in
the
back
areas,
lately
Chief
of
Staff
set
up
a
meeting
with
like
10
of
the
city
staff
a
few
months
ago,
and
and
we
walked
them
through
and
showed
them
the.
If
you
look
at
the
Amtrak
wall,
they
I
think
they
really
only
need
a
small
part
now,
because
so
many
things
are
electronic.
I
If
you
open
up
the
other
two
thirds
of
that
wall
and
open
up
the
upstairs
and
and
part
of
the
back
area,
there's
going
to
be
a
tremendous
amount
of
space
available,
plus
the
area
on
the
right
which
could
be
a
coffee
shop
and
the
upstairs
boardroom
last
thing
is
I.
I
would
like
to
if
I
could
make
a
motion
just
to
bring
this
item
back
on
the
meeting
on
March
9th.
C
Second,
I
have
a
motion
to
to
move
by
board
member
Carlson
seconded
by
board
member
Maniscalco
all
in
favor.
B
C
Opposed
okay
board
member
Miranda.
Q
I
E
B
F
X
Good
morning
again
for
the
nope
afternoon,
now
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
four
downtown
cras.
X
There
we
go
in
the
downtown
you're
going
to
vote
in
a
few
minutes
on
the
new
cacra
plan.
This
is
187
thousand
dollar
plan.
We
had
budgeted
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
This
was
in
the
downtown.
This
was
priority
number
one
from
day.
One
was
to
get
this
plan
going.
It
needs
to
be
updated
very
much
it
does.
It
was
written
prior
to
a
lot
of
the
amendments
to
163
and
needs
to
be
brought
up
to
speed,
so
we're
ready
to
start
working
on
that.
The
work
order
is
on
today's
agenda.
X
Housing,
community,
policing,
Innovation
and
other
allowable
Redevelopment
opportunities
will
be
discussed.
Kid
Mason,
Park
and
Herman
Massey
Park
permits
are
there.
Rfps
are
out
we're
expected
to
do
a
budget
reprogram
to
address
any
overages
because
of
Market
inflation
and
supply
line,
discontinuation
and
labor.
We
didn't
want
to
bring
that
to
you
as
a
lump
sum.
We
wanted
to
have
it
as
a
set
number
and
the
only
way
to
do
that
was
with
the
RFP.
X
X
We
also
have
paper
Union
Station,
which
we've
already
talked
about.
The
CAC
discussed,
recommend
recommendation
for
Franklin
Street
streetscape,
we're
meeting
with
legal
staff
and
other
departments
other
City
departments
to
talk
about
that.
That's
a
long-term
project
and
again
they
recommend
that
almost
seven
million
dollars
for
housing,
Channel
District.
I
Yes,
board:
member
Carlson
sorry
I
want
to
I
want
to
ask
you
an
update
on
the
on
the
Tampa,
theater
and
I'll.
Preface
this
by
saying
when
Morris
told
me,
I
can
finally
mention
at
a
meeting
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
we
put
Tampa
theater
in
the
budget
and
because
of
some
underlying
issues
there,
which
we
can
talk
about
in
the
City
Council
meetings.
We
had
to
wait
for
a
year
or
so
to
be
able
to
talk
about
it.
I
But
at
the
time
we
put
in
the
budget
to
to
completely
restore
Tampa
theater
and
for
anybody
watching
I
think
Tampa.
Theater
is
one
of
the
most
beloved
historic
buildings
in
our
area.
It's
a
place
where
people
went
to
watch
movies,
but
they
have
a
lot
of
different
kinds
of
events
there
in
the
in
the
80s,
someone
went
through
with
a
water
hose
and
sprayed
the
plaster.
That's
there
to
clean
dust
off
it,
and
so
they've
had
a
really
difficult
time.
Restoring
it.
I
They
a
few
years
ago,
went
through
and
changed
this
seats,
the
projector
and
also
the
entrance
way,
and
it
took
months
to
restore
meticulously
restore
the
paint
and
everything
and
restore
the
plaster.
But
the
main
part
of
the
theater
has
never
really
been
restored,
other
than
basic
cleaning,
and
so
we've
got
the
money
in
the
budget
from
a
year
and
a
half
ago
and
and
I
don't
know.
I
If
you
have
a
report
today,
but
I'd
like
to
bring
back
on
January
12th
a
an
update
on
what's
happening
with
the
Tampa
Theater
investment,
when
we
can
start
it,
okay
can
I
make
that
motion.
Yes,.
I
Q
X
Okay,
so
Channel
District,
we
continue
to
meet
with
Parks
and
Recreation
about
Washington
Street
park
with
Dick's
Heights
consultant.
We
are
also
in
the
process
of
working
with
Akins
I'm.
Sorry
for
the
for
the
tea
he's
a
city
horticulturist
about
enhanced
public
Landscaping.
X
We
recommend
the
approval
of
gmp4,
which
is
the
pro
the
the
pro
the
programs
for
the
the
streets.
That's
Cumberland,
Avenue
between
Meridian,
Avenue
and
Channelside.
X
That
will
be
coming
before
this
area
board
in
the
near
future.
They're
ready
to
begin
work
on
that
and
probably
buy
the
spring
or
end
of
spring
of
next
year,
we're
also
looking
at
housing
strategies.
You
heard
the
recommendation,
the
CRA
plan.
There
is
pretty
clear
about
housing.
X
It
is
in
the
new
plan
that
you
just
approved,
so
they
will
begin
working
on
the
strategies
they
wish
to
use
in
that
district,
and
we
are
currently
mapping
the
area
for
enhanced
pressure,
cleaning
and
that's
being
done
under
a
city,
contract,
Central,
Park
and
Tampa
Heights.
The
smaller
series
of
the
four
Central
Park
is
working
on
a
comprehensive
Grant
strategy,
which
is
based
on
looking
at
the
CRA
plan.
X
Determining
what
the
plan
will
allow
then
determining
the
policy
by
which
we're
able
to
do
it,
including
who
was
eligible
for
the
the
program,
how
much
money,
how
we
go
about
validating
the
work
using
current
city
policies
versus
a
more
elaborate
scheme
that
takes
longer.
This
is
a
project
that
will
align
with
the
statute
the
CRA
plan
and
also
use
people
like
these
City
of
Tampa
building
officials
numbers
to
determine
how
much
money
we
can
put
into
a
project.
These
policies
will
be
brought
before
the
board.
X
They
have
to
go
through
legal
first
I
have
some
questions
for
the
attorney.
We
would
like
to
streamline
them
to
give
the
CAC
the
ability
to
make
approvals
on
them
to
move
them
faster
to
get
the
money
out
into
the
community
quicker.
This
would
include
commercial
Redevelopment,
which
is
a
form
of
a
facade.
Grant
fits
in
that,
but
the
other
one
doesn't
do
it
that
way,
but
it
would
include
facade
grants.
It
would
also
also
include
residential
rehabilitation
in
the
areas
that
actually
could
use
it
and
again
this
would
move
money
in
a
legitimate
way.
X
According
to
the
plan,
and
according
to
the
statute,
using
valued
numbers
from
the
city,
professionals
that
are
that
are
on
staff
and
move
it
in
a
fast
efficient
way.
So
this
would
include
roof
overs
on
houses
or
impact
Windows.
They
would
also
be
grants
and
they
would
be
matching
grants.
Some
Sierra
areas
like
Central
Park,
says
that
we
should
encourage
minority
businesses
and
homeowners,
so
we
would
actually
have
a
upper
percentage
versus
regular
for
that
area.
X
So
we're
really
trying
to
match
the
plans
up
with
what
we
can
do
and
again
that
will
come
to
the
board
after
it
goes
through
legal,
because
I
do
have
some
questions
again:
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
historic
preservation.
X
That's
with
Tampa
Housing
Authority
125
for
a
roundabout
in
the
Tampa
Heights
that
is
moving
forward
in
public
art
and
culture
and
then
also
they
voted
for
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
housing
and
we're
actually
talking,
and
it
is
allowed
in
the
plan
on
the
Hillsborough
River,
where
we
have
a
lot
of
outfalls
from
storm
water
up
near
the
Armature
Works
of
putting
together
a
a
sea
wall
that
matches
up
with
the
city
sea
wall
that
is
actually
an
urban
reef
and
with
the
oysters
and
other
types
of
Critters
will
actually
filter
the
water
as
the
water
comes
through
and
is
actually
allowed
in
the
CRA
plan,
which
I'll
be
giving
that
to
the
attorney
also.
X
C
T
X
I
will
bring
the
people
from
Sarasota
The
Reef
ball
Foundation.
If
that's
who
we
use,
we
are
working
with
Tampa,
Harbor
group
and,
and
they
actually
have
a
mock-up,
and
they
can
tell
you
all
about
it.
X
V
V
So
there
has
been
a
lot
of
community
input
as
far
as
the
CAC
and
them
taking
it
back
to
the
neighborhood
associations,
And
discussing
it
with
them,
then
bringing
it
back
to
our
subcommittees
as
well
as
walking
the
parks
with
the
community.
Whoever
wanted
to
show
up
it
was
during
the
height
of
the
pandemic,
so
it
was
a
little
difficult
to
get
individuals
out
there,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
participation.
V
These
started
back
in
February
of
2021,
so
it's
almost
been
two
years
since
we
went,
we've
been
working
on
these
they've
gone
through
CCNA
process,
so
a
design
build
firm
has
been
chosen
for
both
of
these
parks.
Of
course,
these
agreements,
the
work
Agreements,
are
going
to
come
before
you
in
January,
so
you
can
approve
them
to
move
forward
to
city
council,
for
formal
approval
and
for
approval
for
notice
to
proceed.
There
is
a
later
item
today
for
reprogramming
of
additional
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
assassinas
Park,
but
we'll
get
to
that
a
little
bit
later.
V
300
000
and
prices
of
homes
in
West
Tampa
are
way
above
that,
so
we'll
tweak
that
and
bring
it
back
to
you
once
it's
a
little
bit
ready
public
art.
We
are
working
with
our
art
subcommittee
for
electrical
box
wraps,
which
will
work
well
with
one
of
our
grant
programs
that
we
have.
That
will
come
to
you
for
approval
once
it's
ready
any
questions
on
this
slide.
V
This
slide
is
a
little
old,
but
we
did
complete
a
lot
of
Alleyway,
cleanups
and
later
agenda
item.
We
do
have
reprogramming
of
additional
funds,
so
we
can
go
out
there
and
clean
alleys
again
in
coordination
with
the
city's
sweep
team
and
also
community
cleanup,
so
it'll
be
a
big,
huge
Cleanup
in
West
Tampa,
all
going
on
at
the
same
time
sweep
community
cleanup
plus
alleys.
V
Then
another
item
before
you
later
on
is
for
an
alley.
Pilot
project,
Stephen
Benson,
will
come
and
he'll
come
and
kind
of
talk
about
that.
Once
that
item
comes
up,
that's
it
for
oops,
also
Freedom
Park,
the
redner
property
on
Main,
Street
and
Albany.
That's
been
declared
a
Brownfield
already
so
now
we're
working
with
the
county
and
with
the
solid
away's
team
to
do
a
Brownfield
Rehabilitation
agreement.
V
For
that,
so
we
can
go
after
voluntary
tax,
cleanup
credits
and
it'll
be
under
construction,
probably
in
early
2023,
to
remove
the
top
two
feet
of
dirt
and
replace
it
with
new
dirt.
So
we're
going
to
plan
a
community
meeting
with
the
business
owners
and
residents
just
to
discuss
the
project,
any
disruption
and
points
of
contact
foreign,
any
questions.
V
As
far
as
Drew
Park,
we
have
very
exciting
news
that
we
did
complete
two
Community
meetings
for
the
new
neighborhood
park
on
Hubert
and
also
the
Tampa
Bay
linear
Park,
to
activate
that
more
so,
it
was
held
at
HCC
both
of
the
meetings
with
Mr
Tony
muck
who's.
Here
in
the
audience,
as
well,
very,
very
interesting,
very
productive
meetings.
Mr
citro
actually
showed
up
to
one
of
them,
so
I
hope
he
enjoyed
himself.
V
We
also
had
a
community
survey
that
was
heavily
used
as
it
was
a
digital
one
on
the
website
and
sent
out
and
social
media,
so
we're
hoping
to
have
Concepts
put
together
by
placemakers,
Design,
Studios
and
Tony
Mark
and
the
city's
Parks
and
Recreations.
They
are
the
project
managers.
We
are
the
funders,
so
they're
making
sure
to
keep
us
updated
as
much
as
possible
same
thing
with
CAC
and
the
community.
V
Any
questions
yeah
same
thing
with
Lois
and
Grady
that
project
that
we
have
going
on
with
una
landscape
architecture.
That
project
is
already
underway,
she's
out
there
doing
an
audit
she's
working
with
our
city,
divisions
and
Parks
and
Rec
and
staff.
As
far
as
CRA
staff,
to
kind
of
bring
us
recommendations
how
to
improve
Lois
and
Grady
and
once
she's
complete
with
that
working
very
closely
with
CAC
by
the
way
and
the
community
we'll
bring
that
back
to
you
at
a
later
date.
Y
Good
morning,
Cedric
good
afternoon,
Cedric
McRae
he's
Tampa
CRA
manager,
since
we
haven't
had
a
meeting
in
a
couple
of
months.
I
just
wanted
to
formally
introduce
the
new
and
or
returning
CAC
members
for
East
Tampa
that
are
listed
there
and
Fair
terms
will
be
expiring
in
September
of
2024..
Y
Y
The
next
thing
is
the
Kaboom
playground
build,
and
there
were
some
pictures
that
were
in
the
presentation
there
for
some
of
the
CRA
board
members
that
were
attendants
and
there
was
an
expenditure
of
85
hundred
dollars
from
the
East
Tampa
CAC
or
partnership,
as
it
relates
to
funding
for
the
build
out
of
the
Kaboom
building.
That's
my
understanding
that
everything
went
well.
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
the
fra
conference.
Y
Subcommittees
continue
to
meet
actively
monthly
and
bi-monthly
and
trying
to
move
some
of
the
conversations
and
programs
along.
We
have
had
a
lot
of
discussion
as
it
relates
to
the
update
for
the
East
Tampa
community
redevelopment
plan,
and
now
that
we've
landed
the
plan
on
the
sap.
Y
You
know
the
CAC
has
made
it
clear
that
they
want
to
go
in
that
direction
and
have
had
a
recent
conversation
in
our
last
meeting
on
Tuesday,
and
there
were
some
recommendations
that
were
made.
We
will
take
those
into
consideration
and
then
present
them
back
to
the
members
of
the
CAC
next
month
at
their
January
10th
meeting
I
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
the
comments
that
have
been
made
as
it
relates
to
the
social
media
and
community
events.
Y
We
have
been
promoting
things
weekly
on
normally
on
Thursdays
or
Fridays,
as
it
relates
to
programming,
not
just
as
it
relates
to
CRA
but
I'm,
now
receiving
emails
from
other
entities
and
as
long
as
the
c-stamp
was
specific,
I'm
normally
pushing
it
out
and
Miss
Parks
has
also
been
updating
our
Instagram
Facebook,
and
what
have
you
and
the
the
other
social
media
programs
you
stay
at?
The
tree
lighting
would
like
to
lift
that
up
and
thank
councilman
Goods
as
well
as
Miss,
Denise,
mate
James
and
their
efforts
to
pull
those
programs
together.
Y
There
was
a
program
at
Young,
Middle,
Magnet
School.
That
then
dovetailed
into
the
illumination
event
across
the
street
and
I
also
would
like
to
thank
major
DeFelice
and
his
his
team
for
providing
law
enforcement
to
deal
with
the
traffic
calming
on
MLK
and
saw
that
at
its
potential
liability
and
I
just
want
to
say
publicly.
Thank
you
to
them
for
their
assistance
and
also
miss
Regina,
McBride
Smith
of
Parks
and
Recreation
and
accommodating
everything
that
were
was
going
on
that
particular
Friday,
and
there
were
a
lot
of
moving
parts.
Y
Y
All
those
slots
have
been
have
been
filled
and
as
of
October,
the
number
of
jobs
completed
was
seven,
but
now
we
are
up
to
12
and
we're
also
having
conversations
with
procurement
as
a
way
that
we
can
streamline
the
process
and
put
in
a
few
more
checks
and
balances
and
been
working
with
Miss
Katrina
house
and
Mr
drumko,
as
it
relates
to
that
and
I'm
sure
there'll
be
more
to
come
on
that.
Y
Another
thing
I
would
like
to
mention
is
that
we
we
will
have
Miss
Lisa
Mifflin
with
the
U.S
treasury.
I
did
have
conversations
with
her
at
the
fra
conference
and
invited
her
to
come
in
to
speak
to
our
CAC
in
East
Tampa
partnership,
as
it
relates
to
financing
for
certain
projects
and
she's
done
some
good
things
with
Lake,
Wales
and
I
also
believe.
Y
In
our
conversation,
she
shared
that
she's
attended
the
West
Tampa
CAC
meeting
as
well,
so
just
wanted
to
highlight
those
things
and
I
will
gladly
take
any
questions
that
you
all
may
have.
Y
G
Correct
all
right,
so
we
we
need.
We
need
more
tree
cutters
or,
what's
what's
how
long
before
we
can
get.
G
I
mean
but
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
sorry,
my
mind
is
on
trees
got
caused
by
trees,
okay,.
G
Roofers,
okay,
so
I
know
and
I'm
glad
we
talked
about
the
procurement
to
get
some
people
certified
to
get
in
there.
So
that's
that's
coming
along
right.
Y
Not
a
problem
yes,
and
this,
especially
after
inclement
weather
we
had
in
September
and
again
in
October.
We've
definitely
seen
the
influx
in
in
the
number
of
applications.
W
Proceeding
there
you'll
see
the
uniforms
of
our
new
yes
team
that
started
on
November
the
1st.
They
have
a
very
bright
colored
shirts
that
are
recognizable
in
the
community.
There's
a
picture
of
the
truck,
that's
wrapped,
so
so
they're
very
professional,
looking
very
identifiable
and
we've
been
receiving
mini
Kudos
from
the
community
on
how
well
they've
gotten
up
to
speed
in
such
a
quick,
quick
amount
of
time.
So
we're
very
happy
and
they're
doing
a
phenomenal
job.
W
The
we
fortunately
were
able
to
complete
the
7th
Avenue
streetscape
project,
and
that
came
with
the
new
monument
at
the
East
End
to
signify
that
you've
entered
into
the
CRA
area
on
the
Eastern
side
at
26th
Street,
so
that
received
a
lot
of
great
press
coverage.
So
thanks
to
all
who
were
able
to
attend
and
we're
proud
to
check
that
one
now
off
of
our
list,
the
7th
Avenue
breaking
cost
visibility
study
also
is
underway.
W
We've
had
one
presentation
given
to
us
by
the
consultant
and
we'll
have
a
final
presentation
given
to
us
on
January
24th
at
3
pm
at
the
Ybor
CRA
office,
which
is
at
2015
East,
7th
Avenue
and
the
7th
Avenue
Archway
light
project
also
underway.
It
started
at
1300
Block,
it's
on
the
1400
block,
and
now
it's
going
to
be
on
the
1500
Block
as
of
next
week.
W
and
then
just
in
the
interest
of
time.
For
this
last
page,
I'll
just
mention
that
we
are
officially
in
event
season
which
is
really
a
good
economic
driver
for
Ybor
City
and
we've
had
several
events
already
and
then
the
relia
quest
bowl
that
we
always
look
forward
to
every
year.
That's
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
visitors
from
Illinois
and
Mississippi
State
visiting
the
area
so
we'll
be
ready
and
prepared
for
for
all
that
and
all
the
money
that
they
bring
to
the
gray
area
of
Tampa.
W
F
Thank
you
board.
Just
real,
quick
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Elise,
to
run
through
the
required
approvals.
Section
I
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
really
welcome
three
new
CRA
staff
members.
We
have
Miss
Andrea,
Ross
Haven
who's
with
us
in
the
audience
Andrea
was
in
the
city.
Was
a
former
city.
Employee
went
to
the
county.
We
took
her
back
from
the
county
and
she's
working
in
the
west
Hanford
Drew
Park
area.
As
a
one
of
our
Economic
Development
Specialists
Melissa
Martinez.
G
G
We
can
do
the
hiring,
but
actually
get
the
internal
structure.
What
we
need
to
do
to
get
these
programs
pushed
out
that
when
a
person
comes
in,
if
we
have
a
few
tweaks
a
little
bit,
but
we
know
we've
had
some
experts
per
se,
along
with
the
staff
we
have
with
their
fish
expertise
as
well
and
we're
we're
moving

just
want

the

for
where

are
right
now
and
some
adjustments
that
we
saw
to
improve
upon
that
contract
moving
forward,
be
sure
to
bring
that

to
you

speak
to
you
about
it
before

B
C
Thank

Okay,
any

board
member
Goods
I.
G
Thought
I
had
my
emotions
here:
okay,
well,
nevertheless,
Mr
drumago,
you,
you
recall,
I,
was
kind
of
frustrated
the
other
day
at
the
CAC
meeting
and
I
want
to
make
some
motions,
as
it
relates
to
that
it
could
be
all
one
motion
I
like
for
the
CRA.
G
The
creativity
directly
to
get
with
the
housing
department
and
growth
management
to
talk
with
the
CDC
in
reference
to
the
Adu
process,
recommendations.
I
know
we
still.
This
board
has
not
finished,
but
they
need
to
know
what
they're
talking
about
because
confusion
and
also
that
the
housing
department
also
be
able
to
go
there
and
talk
to
them
about
the
dollars
that
are
allocated
to
housing
and
those
programs,
because
I
think
some
have
a
little
bit
of
confusion
of
how
they're
supposed
to
operate,
and
you
can
just
bring
that
report
back.
G
I
would
say:
I'll,
say
February
and
give
you
time
to
get
there
exactly.
You
want
March
all
right
for
you,
I'll,
say
March,
because
normally
I'll
give
you
march.
First
Dayton
March
motion.
