Good

Madam

We
received
the

in

that
there

all

get
out
for
so
you're,
going

and
trying

meet
that
deadline.
We're
recommending
continuing
certain
items
to
the
March

things
that
are
not
time
sensitive,
and
so,
if
we
want
to
go
through
the
agenda,
I'll
make
some
recommendations
to
help.
You
achieve
your
goal
in
getting
out
a
little
earlier
today,
I'm
sure.
H
F
On
with
that,
we're
supposed
I
just
spoke
to
the
clerk's
office.
There
should
be
a
standard
permission
on
here
about
adopting
the
minutes
for
the
prior
meeting.
It
did
not
make
it

We

J
B
Motion
made

Good
seconded
by
board
member
Miranda
all
in

Any

okay
motion

It
is
now
time
for
public
comment.
The
public
is
welcome
to
come
on
on
any
item
for
up
to
three
minutes.
Welcome
we
have
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
this
morning.
J
Good
morning,
Connie
Burton
I'm
here
this
morning
as
a
member
of
the
NAACP,
our
ongoing
issues
around.
How
do
we
deal
with
the
systemic
issues
that
has
been
identified
in
terms
of
the
unavailable
attainability
of
housing
for
poor
working-class
people?
I,
don't
know
if
it
would
be
reported
today,
but
in
the
last
CRA
East
Tampa
CRA
meeting
it
was
approved
that
we
would
extend
up
to
five
extend
housing
assistance
for
homes
up
to
a
half
a
million
dollars.
J
So
we
are
talking
about
a
community
that
is
completely
working.
Class
is
welcoming
to
all
that
want
to
come
to
East
Tampa,
but
when
we
are
talking
about
the
slow
pace
of
rehab
Redevelopment,
for
that
Community,
I
would
say
that
this
Council
should
give
caution
to
developers
that
it's
building
at
that
rate
and
if
people
want
to
purchase
it
at
rate
fine
with
the
community,
but
the
East
Tampa
CRA
money
should
not
be
utilized
to
in
any
form
of
assistance.
J
Also
in
2018,
we
had
discussed
up
under
different
council
members
the
the
possibility
of
doing
container
homes-
it's
sour
some,
but
we
have
to
come
up
with
creative
ideas
that
would
allow
people
in
East
Tampa
and
not
be
pushed
further
out
of
our
community.
Now
we
are
finding
more
and
more
people
that
once
lived
in
East
Tampa,
because
we
don't
have
due
places.
We
don't
have
quad
plexus.
J
We
don't
have
any
of
those
things
that
can
keep
our
communities
whole
and
so
why
it
is
driven
by
the
Administration
requested
how
ways
a
redlining
has
been
transferred
now
in
terms
of
those
who
have
resources
and
those
that
do
not
have
resources.
And
then
what
can
this
council
do
to
ensure
that
our
community
is
aware
of
aware
programs
that
will
provide
opportunities
for
all.
Thank
you.
J
D
H
Madam
chair,
yes,
Mr
board,
member
because
Travis
you
gonna,
give
a
report
about
the
cuc
and
that
those
dollar
amount
that
was
approved
today,
and
you
know,
and
also
also
you
know.
We
talked
about
and
I
have
an
issue
city-wide
and
I.
Don't
know
if
if
this
Council
will
have
to
this
board
will
need
the
second
motion
to
send
to
our
city
council,
but
again
I
hear
time
and
time
again,
even
at
Community
meetings
at
the
base,
we're
going
about
communication
within
the
city.
H
I
know
we
try
to
do
the
best.
We
can,
but
I
think
that
the
county
does
an
excellent
job,
because
the
county
puts
those
like
I,
can't,
say
those
Billboards
out
there
on
the
side
of
the
road.
The
people
can
see
and
know
about
programming
and
if
we
need
to
change
an
ordinance
because
I
don't
understand
how
the
county
can
come
in
here
and
they
can
put
those
big
old
signs
to
communicate
about
their
programs,
zoning
and
things
like
that,
but
yeah
we
still
don't
do
that.
So
I'll
probably
make
a
motion.
That's
okay!
H
I'll!
Just
do
it
at
night
council
meeting,
because
we
need
to
start
if
there's
a
zoning
change.
If
you
change,
we
need
to
change
it,
because
that's
what
the
public,
where
everyone's
hearing
that,
when
we
go
to
all
these
meetings
right
now,
they're
saying
that
it
says
communication
is
very
bad
as
we
relate
to
programming
and
our
programs,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we
move
forward.
If
this
council
is
here
or
another
counselor
that
we
have
the
right
things
for
the
community
to
know.
K
Good
morning,
CRA
board
Deputy
Administrator
Elise
drumgo.
Also
your
interim
deputy
director
for
the
CRA
and
so
I'll
speak
to
a
couple
of
things.
Just
the
comments
that
were
just
made
that
that
was
actually
not
driven
by
the
administration.
It
was
driven
by
the
CAC
itself.
There
is
a
housing
subcommittee
that
you
know
they
took
that
up
amongst
themselves
and
they
brought
that
forward
to
the
CAC
to
increase
that
that
amount
up
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
K
But
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
as
well
relative
to
increasing
the
down
payment
assistance
itself
and
they
opted
not
to
increase
that
amount,
because
there
are
funds
that
are
that
can
be
layered
with
other
sources
to
achieve
to
get
people
into
their
homes,
so
I'll,
just
I'll
I'll,
leave
that
there
for
you
to
digest,
but
relative
to
the
marketing
you'll
receive
an
update
this
morning
on
branding
and
marketing,
and
then
you
know,
I
think
that
you'll
be
pleased
with
our
progress
to
Dayton
and
also
how
we
intend
to
attack
the
marketing
of
our
programs
as
a
CRA.
L
Mentor's
night
I
want
to
say
who
wrote
Guru
means
freedom
in
Swahili
and
we
say
we
as
African.
People
should
always
be
thinking
about
our
freedom
and
the
things
that
they
do
to
keep
us
away
from
freedom
and
self-determination,
because
it's
been
623
years
since
we've
been
living
under
these
oppressive
conditions.
The
conditions
are
really
oppressive
and
what
they
have
been
doing
for
623
years
has
evolving
the
methodology
evolving
the
techniques
of
how
they
carry
out
the
same
and
basic
systems
of
Oppression
and
regression
and
keep
attacking
African
people,
and
they
keep
us
confused.
L
L
Most
African
people
are
scared
of
white
people.
Most
grown
adult
African
people
are
scared
of
little
white
children,
I'm,
saying
literally
scared,
afraid
because
they're
afraid,
if
we
say
the
wrong
thing
to
them,
if
we
bump
up
against
them
wrong
or
something
anything
can
happen
that
we
can
get
literally
lynched.
L
Yes,
literally
lynched
literally
incarcerated,
literally
charges
brought
against
us
and
all
this
other
craziness.
And
so
that's
why
you
don't
see
an
influx
of
African
people
down
here.
Although
the
city
most
African
people
are
living
like
in
the
third
world
country,
you
can
go
through
the
African
Community
and
see
it
we're
living
in
abject
poverty
and
all
information
is
there
and
we
can't
make
it
just
incumbent
upon,
say
our
elected
official
or
who
y'all
appoint
for
that
District
or
a
certain
organizations.
L
No,
you
white
people
have
to
be
responsible,
we're
26
percent
of
this
population,
and
we
want
to
be
treated
as
26
percent
of
this
population.
We
want
26
percent
of
this
budget.
We
want
26.
We
don't
want
this
affirmative
action,
nonsense
where
we're
getting.
You
know
when
you're
caught
in
the
nonsense,
when
they're
doing
139
million
dollar
project
and
it
don't
go
through
anybody
and
then
you're
caught
in
the
in
the
midst
of
it.
Then
you
give
a
contract
here
and
a
contract
there.
L
No,
if
it's
100,
100
million
dollar
contract,
we
want
26
million
dollars
of
it
and
once
again,
I
want
to
reiterate
what
we
do
with
it
is
what
we
do
with
it.
If
we
spend
bear
or
weave
or
whatsoever,
we
do
with
it,
but
we're
deserving
of
26
of
the
the
budget
and
that's
what
we
have
to
hold
this
white
city
council
accountable
for
can't
keep
getting
off
the
hook
at
one
time.
Black
people
couldn't
even
come
down
here
and
speak
unless
they
talk
about
nonsense
and
it's
still
the
same
way:
speed
bumps
roundabouts.
L
M
M
40
acres,
four
city
blocks
of
the
remains
of
black
Americans
are
now
the
property,
the
property
of
a
land
Speculator
who
was
allowed
to
purchase
their
plots.
When
the
money-saving
scheme
of
a
city
bureaucrat
went
awry
when
this
city
tried
to
pull
a
fast
one
and
get
this
property
on
the
cheap
instead
of
Simply
outright
purchasing
it
and
honoring
the
dead
with
a
historic
designation,
more
the
Memorial
Park
Cemetery
purchase
has
to
be
one
of
the
most
despicable
acts
of
unbridled
greed.
M
N
N
Yesterday,
myself
and
a
vested
party
who
will
also
be
speaking
today,
spoke
with
the
new
ownership
of
Memorial
Park
Cemetery
about
their
newly
acquired
historical
black
Cemetery.
They
were
very
accommodating
easy
to
talk
to
provided
details
to
help
make
sense
of
this
and
are
very
much
interested
in
selling
back
the
cemetery
to
the
city
of
Tampa.
They
explained
the
cemetery
did
go
to
a
blind
auction
blind
bid
auction
via
the
courts
as
a
Judicial
sale.
The
sale
occur
on
January
6
2023..
N
There
is
a
lengthy
timeline,
but
in
short,
it
started
December
of
2020
and
finally,
the
cemetery
sold
to
the
highest
bidder
on
January
6
2023.
So,
two
years
two
years
this
sale
has
been
in
the
works.
City
never
had
any
intentions
in
doing
the
right
thing.
As
mayor
Castro
said
she
would.
We
all
know
that
she
only
caters
to
what's
important
to
her
and
with
her
own
Unholy
obsession
with
fireworks,
ribbon,
cutting
and
parades.
Let's
not
forget
parades,
so
she
never
did
the
right
thing.
N
She
let
the
people
of
the
community
down
she
let
every
single
body
in
that
Cemetery
Mart
and
on
Mark.
She
let
them
down.
She
quoted
Martin
Luther
King
himself,
a
couple
of
days
before
MLK
Day,
while
standing
in
Memorial
Park
Cemetery.
The
time
is
right
to
do
what
is
right.
The
time
is
right
to
do.
What
is
right.
I'd
also
like
to
mention
that
after
a
bit
is
one
there's
something
called
a
Redemption
period
in
which
one
has
10
days
to
reclaim
the
property.
N
A
N
In
my
opinion,
if
I
were
able
to
say
how
much
she
should
pay,
I
would
say:
two
hundred
thousand
two
hundred
thousand
is
a
number
she
can
easily
remember.
So
when
is
this
going
to
stop?
This
is
the
third
Cemetery
I've
fought
for
since
2018.,
more
T
cologne
in
2018
Woodlawn,
which
thank
you
last
year.
You
guys
saved
it
for
us
and
now
we're
doing
this.
They
are
willing
to
meet
with
councilman
Goods.
They
don't
want
to
meet
with
the
mayor.
O
O
My
name
is
Hallie
Reed.
The
total
number
I
in
there
is
likely
close
to
twenty
thousand,
with
fifteen
thousand
of
them
being
unmarked.
This
includes
a
number
of
barrels
that
were
moved
from
Zion
Cemetery
College
Park
Cemetery
in
Roblox
Pond
Cemetery.
Before
they
were
erased.
These
people
are
not
unimportant.
O
They
include
Civic
leaders
such
as
Cyrus
T,
green
and
George,
W,
Middleton
and
pop
in
popular
figures
such
as
the
professional
baseball
player,
Humberto
Arenas,
whose
Cuban
nationality
allowed
him
to
play
minor
league
baseball
and
the
recording
artist
zulay
makasso,
who
recorded
with
Aretha
Franklin,
as
well
as
the
business
owners
and
professionals
that
became
the
backbone
of
Tampa's
middle
class.
Black
community,
the
oldest
person
buried
at
Memorial,
died
in
1919
with
his
age,
given
as
a
hundred
and
six
meaning
his
birth
year
would
have
been
in
1813..
O
Memorial
Park
was
dedicated
in
1920
to
be
a
dignified
final
resting
place
for
Tampa's
black
veterans,
and
today
it
is
home
to
the
only
Memorial
in
Tampa
dedicated,
specifically
to
Black
veterans.
Today
there
are
830
veterans
buried
there
serving
from
the
colored
regiments
of
the
Civil
War
to
those
who
died
serving
their
country
in
Vietnam.
More
than
anything,
the
people
buried
at
Memorial
are
the
unacknowledged
workers
who
literally
built
Tampa.
They
were
cigar
makers,
Farmers,
Dock,
Workers
and
laborers
the
laundresses
and
housekeepers
who
served
the
people
whose
names
went
down
in
history.
O
B
P
Good
morning,
Eileen
Henderson
914,
West,
fribley
Street
Tampa
I,
want
you
to
know.
I
was
prepared
to
speak
today
and
share
some
information
with
all
of
you,
based
on
a
conversation
I
had
yesterday
with
my
cohort
with
the
new
ownership
of
Memorial,
Park
Cemetery,
and
basically,
what
I
was
going
to
outline
was
the
timeline
of
events.
Up
to
the
day,
the
city
of
Tampa
lost
its
100
year
old,
designated
historical
black
Cemetery,
but
truth
is
I
can't
seem
to
find
the
light.
P
Again,
all
of
this
within
a
two-year
time
span
all
the
while
making
public
statements
about
how
they
were
making
strides
with
our
cemeteries
specifically
are
black
cemeteries,
heck.
They
even
created
a
task
force,
a
task
force
that
was
supposed
to
help
secure
a
non-profit
to
take
over
Memorial
Park
Cemetery,
not
a
four
property
property,
flipper
I
am
bewildered
and
the
multitude
of
emotions
is
overwhelming,
but
mostly
I
am
in
pain.
P
I
have
been
told
I'm
entirely
too
emotional,
that
in
politics
it
is
the
facts
that
must
decide
and
oh
how
I
beg
to
differ,
because
you
see
counsel
I
would
venture
to
Guess
that
every
single
one
of
you
became
involved
politically
because
of
a
passion
and
a
dedication
to
do
the
right
thing,
letting
Memorial,
Park
Cemetery
go
to
the
highest
bidder
was
not
the
right
thing.
There
were
ample
opportunities
to
make
things
right
and
once
again,
Tampa
has
fallen
to
another
new
low
in
the
words
of
Nelson
Mandela.
B
Thank
you
board
member
Goods
I.
Q
Thank
you,
norene
Copeland,
Miller
and
I'm.
Here
this
morning,
too,
I
was
going
to
ask
for
a
update
and
I
just
want
to
say
to
my
brother
and
sisters.
Thank
you
for
the
update.
I've
got
an
update
from
them.
What
was
going
on
with
Memorial
Park
Cemetery
I
was
at
peace
for
a
while,
because
I
was
holding
up
my
grandfathers
in
that
Cemetery,
a
World
War
II
veteran,
my
brother's
in
there
a
veteran
and
I
have
about
12
members
in
there.
But
what's
most
of
all
is
my
mother?
Q
Is
there
and
I
was
really
at
peace
knowing
35
years
ago
that
we
beared
her
in
that
Cemetery
with
a
headstone,
and
all
of
that
that
day
was
my
body
was
empty.
The
feeling
that
I
feel
that
day
was
the
most
emptiest
feeling
I
ever
felt
in
my
life,
but
to
have
to
revisit
this
I
cannot
even
say
how
disgusting
it
is
that
the
city
of
Tampa
have
allowed
this
to
happen.
I,
don't
blame
one
person,
I
blame
the
city
of
Tampa
from
the
leadership
on
down.
This
should
have
never
happened.
Q
It
would
have
never
happened
in
any
other
community.
Not
only
that
we
always
saying
CRA
in
East
Tampa
this
and
East
Tampa
people
don't
know
what
they
want.
Yes,
we
do,
we
just
are
not
allowed
to
say
it
or
we
said
we're
painted
a
different
way
when
we
come
down
here
that
we
are
angry
and
all
that
we
are
mistreated
and
it
then
just
started
happening.
I
was
born
here
raised
in
South
Tampa
live
in
East
Tampa
by
choice.
Q
My
heart
I'm
hurting
this
morning
emotionally
since
last
week,
my
body
has
been
just
going
through
some
things,
because
I'm
right
now
continue
every
day
and
night
I'm
thinking
about
my
mother,
although
you
all
are
working
on
it
and
you
got
it
taken
care
of.
We
know
how
that
works
in
East
Tampa
two
years
from
today,
we'll
still
be
working
on
it.
I
am
right
now
saying
to
you.
This
is
time
sensitive
with
the
cemetery
do
what's
right
and
Viera
councilman.
Q
Q
You
all
Let
It
Go
to
foreclosure
in
2015,
when
Mr
Robinson
tried
to
give
the
cemetery
to
the
city
of
Tampa
when
Ed
Johnson
was
the
manager
of
CRA,
the
city
didn't
want
it,
we're
not
in
a
cemetery
building
business
but
you're
able
to
put
liens
on
it,
go
to
foreclosure
and
let
a
bidder
come
in
and
flip
a
cemetery.
My
mother's
soul
is
not
at
rest.
Q
My
grandfather,
my
grandmothers,
my
12
family
members,
probably
more
than
that
in
that
Cemetery
they
are
not
resting
now,
so
that
means
I'm
not
resting,
and
that
mean
I
come
down
here.
Every
Thursday
I
will
because
I'm
going
to
advocate
for
this
cemetery
and
I
thank
God
for
my
brother
for
coming
down,
feeling
a
passion
but
I
have
people
buried
and
I'm.
I
am
appealing
to
you
all
to
do
the
right
thing.
Q
I
thank
my
counselman
for
what
he's
doing,
but
we
need
all
of
you
to
do
something
from
the
top
to
the
bottom,
from
the
mirror
make
this
right
make
it
right
now
this
is
time
sensitive.
We
cannot
allow
it
to
draw
out
for
another
two
or
three
years
talking
because
we're
working
on
it
not
acceptable.
Thank
you.
H
Death
ingredients
comes
in
many
different
ways
to
different
people.
Everyone
agrees
differently,
Ms
Copeland
did
call
me
matter
of
fact,
and
we
had
a
conversation
on.
It
was
last
Saturday
night
she
broke
down,
I
felt
so
bad
I
didn't
know
what
to
do
and
she
said
couch
I
got
to
go
out
before
I
turn
to
another
person,
so
I
knew
what
that
meant.
Being
a
black
man.
H
H
You
know
we've
been
going
to
these
debates
and
the
citizens
have
been
saying
the
same
thing.
There's
a
lack
of
communication
with
Administration
Council.
You've
heard
that
time
and
time
again
you
heard
it
just
yesterday.
My
colleagues
were
there
and
there
is
a
breakdown
that
we
don't
know
what's
going
on
until
it
happens,
and
then
it's
oh,
let's
people
come
to
us
to
try
to
fix
things
when
we
we
don't
know
but
I
would
say
to
you.
I've
had
a
conversation.
H
H
Every
time
she
told
me
she's
going
to
do
something,
she's
done
it
so
I'm,
hoping
that
her
or
whoever
is
the
legal
person
working
on
the
cemetery
issue,
resolve
it.
I
won't
I
I
for
for
our
concerts.
I
can't
meet
with
that
owner
for
any
type
of
negotiation.
Thing
like
that.
I
can't
do
that,
but
I
promise
once
they
get
done
in
a
process.
H
I
will
meet
with
the
owner,
but
I
can't
do
it
right
now
because
they're
doing
what
they
need
to
do
to
to
get
this
resolved
and
I'm
just
going
to
tell
them
now
by
whatever
means
necessary,
I
want
it
resolved
and
I
think
Ms
Travis
is
going
to
get
it
resolved
and
I.
Think
Mr
Massey
is
involved
with
that.
A
little
bit
too
and
I
can
assure
the
public.
H
Thief
I
haven't
really
heard
the
bull
home,
but
the
administration
knows
they
don't
want
to
hear
the
bullhorn,
so
I
think
they're
going
to
go
ahead
and
do
what
they
need
to
do
so
I'm
going
to
leave
it
at
that,
because
I
don't
want
to
get
into
any
type
of
negotiating
situation
so
and
let
them
have
to
do
a
business.
Thank
you.
C
So
I
was
going
to
suggest
if
the
owner
wants
to
meet
with
council
member
Goods,
but
he
can't
and
the
administration
or
whomever
or
Miss
Travis
I
know
that
you'll
you'll
resolve
this.
A
couple
of
questions
number
one
I
heard
the
number
thirty
thousand
then
I
heard
two
hundred
thousand
I,
don't
know
what
the
number
is
and
we
don't
have
to
publicly
discuss
it,
but
we
have
to
fix
this
and
and
make
it
right.
Another
thing
that
came
up
was
because
the
Italian
Club
cemetery
is
in
the
news
again.
C
C
Don't
know
I,
don't
know
because
there's
a
question
coming
up
of
you
know:
what's
in
the
parking
lot
area
there,
so
that's
that's
something
that
I
didn't
know.
You
know.
If
you
look
at
other
Summit,
it
would
say
the
city
is
not
in
the
cemetery
business,
the
cemeteries
that
like
where
I'm
going
to
be
buried
they're
under
you
know,
corporations
have
bought
these
places
and
there's
Perpetual
care
funds
here,
because
this
is
a
unique
situation
or
semi-unique
situation.
C
We
don't
have
a
corporation
overseeing
this,
but
when
we
say
that
the
city's,
not
in
the
cemetery
business,
you
know
we
have
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department,
you
know,
should
we
acquire
the
cemetery
put
it
under
that
division,
then
we
take
care
of
it
from
there.
We
maintain
a
lot
of
other
parks
and
green
spaces.
Yes,
why
not?
A
cemetery.
G
Nicole
Travis
administrative
development
and
Economic
Opportunity
cemeteries
are
considered
passive
parks,
and
so,
if
we
were
to
acquire
this
Cemetery
or
any
other
Cemetery,
it
would
be
housed
in
the
Parks
and
Rec
Division
and
cared
for
maintained
and
treated
as
a
passive
Park
like
any
other.
So
that's
not
any
reason
for
us
not
to
engage
or
take
the
part.
G
We
don't
negotiate
real
estate
deals
in
public
as
just
bad
business.
To
do
that,
I
assure
you
I've,
given
you
all
my
word
that
we
are
working
on
this
I
find
it
ironic
that
the
owner,
the
new
owner,
has
spoken
to
some
of
our
citizens
and
have
yet
to
return
our
phone
call
about
what
it
would
take
for
the
property
they
have
yet
to
return.
H
Robinson
in
that,
in
the
whole
situation
back
before
Mr
Robinson
passed
away
because
he
wanted
to
give
it
up.
When
you
talk
about
cemeteries,
there
are
new
laws
that
came
out
because
of
a
couple
of
one
situation
in
Tampa,
another
place
where
uncapped
cemeteries.
When
we
had
a
situation
Memorial
Park
many
many
years
ago,
somebody
just
have
to
be
in
a
trust
and
there's
a
vast
amount
of
money
that
has
me
put.
Whoever
owns
a
cemetery
and
you're
right.
H
The
bigger
corporations
do
that
some
of
your
small
loans,
don't
and
that's
why
you
see
them
just
close
down
and
just
people
walk
away
from
them,
but
to
own
a
cemetery
and
whoever's
owners
to
own
one.
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
money
for
them
to
keep
that
secretary,
because
there
are
new
laws
in
place
to
keep
a
cemetery
and
I
can
tell
you
because
myself,
some
other
Funeral
Home
directors
around
here,
who
tried
to
talk
to
Mr
Robinson
about
that.
But
the
laws
changed.
That's
why
no
one
has
ever
bought
that
cemetery
and.
G
Which
is
why
the
non-profits
that
we
had
that
the
city
tried
to
get
to
take
the
memorial
cemetery
refused
to
take
on
the
memorial.
There
was
a
concerted
effort
to
try
to
get
the
non-profits
to
take
the
cemetery
and,
if
I
made
before
I'll
just
for
Miss
Noreen
I
under
when
she
said
my
mom
is
there
like
that
resonates
right
and
they
cannot
build
on
the
cemetery.
They
cannot
do
anything
with
the
cemetery
and
if
a
blade
of
grass
is
not,
it
is
true,
they
cannot
build
on
the
cemetery.
G
G
And
so
that
is
not
going
to
happen
and
we
are
going
to
every
letter
of
the
law
that
it
will
take
to
enforce
that
for
that
new
property
owner
to
maintain
and
protect
and
give
the
respect
that
is
deserved
to
the
memorial
cemetery.
We
will
make
sure
that
we
adhere
to
that
one
last
thing
before
any
of
the
comments
that
were
made
before
you
assume
any
of
those
things
are
facts.
N
F
This
is
public
comment
and
she's
responding
to
questions
from
from
the
board.
I
I
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
the
public
this
Council
a
few
months
ago,
pass
some
new
rules
to
protect
cemeteries,
so
they
can't
be
developed.
That
was
what
Ms
Travis
was
just
talking
about,
but
knowing
about
Zion
and
the
other
cemeteries,
we
put
those
you
know,
seven
of
us
put
those
in
place
with
the
help
of
staff
to
protect
the
the
cemetery,
probably
because
we
don't
want
anyone
to
develop
on
top
of
cemeteries.
Again.
I
Second
board
member
Goods
talked
about
the
lack
of
communication,
and
the
the
only
communication
I
had
gotten
was
that
this
was
that
the
city
was
going
to
take
this
over
and
there
was
a
process
to
take
it
over.
The
first
I
learned
that
the
city
failed
to
get.
It
was
when
I
read
in
the
paper,
probably
along
with
the
rest
of
you
and
so
I
was
equally
disappointed.
B
Yes,
but
I
have
currently
have
a
motion
by
board
member
Carlson
seconded
by
board
member
Maniscalco.
Any
further
discussion
board
member
Vieira.
E
E
This
issue
in
in
terms
of
cleanups
I
know
this
May
of
2023
is
going
to
be
the
100th
anniversary
of
the
Red
Cross
memorial
marker
there
and
I
was
working
with
the
gentleman
Ellsworth
Williams
on
doing
a
hundred
year
ceremony
out
there
and
whatnot
and
and
I'm
glad
to
support
this
motion.
I
I,
the
CRA,
had
been
looking
into
the
feasibility
of
taking
over
and
maintaining
and
improving
the
cemetery
and
and
that
continued
to
be
pushed
down
because
of
this
issue.
E
I
guess
this
takes
it
a
step
further,
which
was
ultimately
I,
think
the
intent
I'm
glad
to
support
it.
But
my
big
thing
is
and
I
just
speak
on
behalf
of
myself,
which
is
when
again
I'll
I'll
defer
to
miss
Travis
with
regards
to
public
comments
on
this
from
from
people
in
the
city
and
potentially
inadvertently
inadvertently,
because,
obviously
we
all
want
this
thing
to
go
well
to
maybe
inadvertently
make
the
process
worse.
E
C
R
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
chair,
I
cannot
speak
for
all
seven
of
us,
however,
somewhere
I
know
that
all
seven
of
us
want
to
make
this
right,
and
hopefully
with
Miss
Travis's
help
and
our
legal
department.
This
will
be
made
right,
but
I
know
right
now
that
the
owner
is
watching
this
and
watching
this
discussion
and
each
time
we
speak,
the
price
goes
up
and
up
and
up
and
up.
We
want
to
make
this
right.
Let
us
have
our
discussions
with
Miss
Travis
and
the
legal
department
individually.
S
S
You
very
much
I've
heard
a
lot
of
good
things,
a
lot
of
conversation
regarding
objective,
how
to
reach
the
goal
of.
However,
I
go
back
to
what
Mr
Goode
says
and
Mr.
S
A
S
So
that
means
that
that
owner
is
also
under
an
enormous
obligation
to
not
only
those
that
are
buried
there,
but
to
society
and
to
himself
then
I
go
back
to
what
Mr
citro
said
and
if
you
combine
those
two
I
think
the
ultimate
result
is
going
to
be
that
it'll
come
it's
going
to
happen
and
the
more
we
talk
the
worse
it
gets,
because
we
have
nothing
to
do
with
negotiations.
That's
up
to
miss
Travis
and
the
administration.
H
Know
I
hear
the
motion
on
the
floor,
but
my
thing
is
that
this
the
CRA
was
not
a
party
to
this.
The
city
was
so
I
have
a
problem
of
cre
dollars
to
handle
the
situation,
we
got
other
issues
in
our
CRA.
It
was
a
city
issue
and
she
stayed
with
Ms
Travis
in
the
city
and
cre
dollars
be
used
in
the
appropriate
matter
and
appropriate
place,
and
the
city
deals
with
our
whatever
funds
we
have
out
of
City
money,
I.
I
Just
for
the
Public's
purpose
is
CRA
is,
is
is
represented
by
the
city
council
sitting
as
a
CRA
board,
but
we're
a
separate
legal
entity.
We
Outsource
staff
to
the
city,
so
it
happens
that
Ms
Travis
is
the
interim
head
of
the
CRA
and
she's
the
person
in
charge
of
real
estate
and
economic
development
at
the
city.
I
Has
separate
buckets
of
money
and
we
also
have,
even
though
we
Outsource
to
the
city
I,
think
we
have
a
quicker
decision-making
process
than
the
city
and
the
reason
why
I
made
my
motion
is
that
the
the
city
went
through
their
process.
Someone
said
it
took
two
years:
I
think
the
CRA
can
move
a
lot
faster
and
make
decisions
quickly,
quicker
and
and
there's
funding.
I
B
Okay,
so
I
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
and
a
second
any
more
discussion.
Okay,
it
sounds
like
we're.
Gonna
need
a
roll
call
boot
for
this.
S
A
D
H
B
I,
if,
if
someone
would
indulge
me
and
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
January
minutes,
do
Ling
would
appreciate
that
no
no,
we
did
not
have
it.
Okay,
I.
B
No
worries
we,
we
all,
we
all
make
mistakes,
that's
what
makes
us
human
right
so
board.
Member
motion
made
by
board
member
Miranda
skalco
seconded
by
board
member
Goods
all
in
favor
any
opposed
okay
motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
are
going
to
move
on
to
required
approvals.
Mr.
K
Hi
good
morning,
CRA
board
once
again
Elise
drumko
for
the
record,
so
we're
looking
at
the
Ebor
CAC
application
for
approval
for
appointment
of
Meredith
Berwick
to
the
historic
East
Ybor
and
Gary
neighborhood
association,
C
for
Ybor
cra
and
for
you
tonight.
Don't.
B
Okay,
I
have
a
motion
by
board
member
Miranda
seconded
by
board
member
Goods
all
in
favor
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
passes
all.
K
J
K
H
How
close
to
the
album
is
the
drum
goal?
That's
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
are
aware
where
that
is,
it's
been
a
nightclub
for
many
many
years
it
caused
problems
in
the
areas
of
the
community,
so
I
think
the
neighbors
over
in
East
Tampa,
especially
that
bad
side
will
be
very
thrilled
and
probably
will
clear
a
lot
of
other
messes
on
the
side.
So
how
close
are
they
do
you
know
so.
K
The
the
owners
of
that
property
are
working
through
their
financing,
they're
looking
at
an
SBA
loan
and
it's
taking
a
little
bit
more
time.
They
are
serial
entrepreneurs
that
own
some
other
businesses,
so
we're
just
trying
to
trying
to
be
patient
as
they
move
through
that
process.
But
this
this
agreement,
hopefully,
will
get
them
closer
and
provide
some
leverage
for
them
to
be
able
to
get
that
funding
approved.
H
F
So
that
the
the
board
is
aware,
Our
obligation
to
fund
this,
our
portion
of
it
is
the
last
funds
in
basically,
they
need
to
get
the
balance
to
match
it
in
order
for
our
funding
to
move
forward,
and
our
funding
is
also
contingent
upon
them.
Paul
the
service
of
alcohol
from
that
premise
and
giving
up
any
liquor
of
licenses
both
of
that
site.
So.
B
Which
I
think
is
one
of
the
big
parts
of
it
as
board.
Member
Goods
mentioned
to
really
make
it
a
community
space.
So
I
have
a
motion
by
board
member
Miranda
and
seconded
by
board
member
citro
any
further
discussion.
Okay,
all
in
favor
all
right.
Any
opposed.
Okay
motion
passes
all.
K
Right,
the
next
item
up
for
your
approval.
You
actually
heard
this
item
back
in
May
of
last
year.
This
is
a
resolution
and
Grant
agreement
for
the
skill
center,
also
in
East
Tampa
at
5107,
North,
22nd
Street
again,
this
half
a
million
dollars
is
just
a
portion
of
the
overall
23
million
dollar
contribution
and
economic
impact
for
this
project,
and
so
we're
bringing
that
this
to
you
for,
for
you.
R
K
Right
and
then
the
last
item
up
for
approval
is
a
facade
grant
for
2208
East
Second
Avenue,
it's
an
Ebor
Bungalow,
and
this
is
a
retail
use
in
the
eboard
CRA.
This
facade
Grand
is
a
nod
to
exceed
twenty
six
thousand
forty
eight
dollars.
This
grant
agreement.
Excuse
me
it's
this
grant.
Agreement
is
just
a
small
portion
of
the
overall
contribution.
Approximately
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
private
investment
will
go
into
this
project
as
well.
We
have
this
before
you
today,
so
moved.
B
A
K
K
So
pardon
me
I
think
we're
still
up.
So.
The
next
item
is
a
report
on
CRA
funding
for
Parks.
So
back
in
August
of
last
year,
you
all
asked
us
to
bring
back
a
plan
to
to
bring
the
CRA
Parks
into
ADA
compliance
and
then
also
to
evaluate
the
inclusive
Play
Elements.
But
we
brought
that
the
overall
summary
totaling,
approximately
three
thousand
dollars
back
to
you
all,
and
so
you,
you
sent
us
back
and
said.
T
All
right
good
morning,
Teresa
Hills,
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation,
wait
for
this
PowerPoint
to
come
up.
T
All
right
so
as
depth
administrator
drongo
mentioned
in
August
of
2022
staff,
reported
the
projected
cost
to
improve
Park
accessibility
within
our
cras,
so
that
we
are
compliant
in
certain
parks
with
Ada
guidelines.
The
board
further
requests
a
proposed
implementation,
so
I'm
going
to
take
you
through
this
implementation.
This
first
slide
here
is
if
we
were
not
to
receive
any
funds
by
the
CRA,
if
Parks
and
Rec
alone
were
to
utilize
the
money
that
we
receive
each
year
to
address
these
parks
in
the
CRA
area,
it
would
take
us
to
2041..
T
So
one
I
want
to
say
we
are
in
our
exterior.
We
are
in
ADA
compliance
by
the
state,
but
we're
not
always
accessible
so
a
lot
of
times.
People
think
you
put
a
piece
of
equipment
that
makes
it
accessible.
That
does
not.
How
do
you
get
to
that
piece
of
equipment?
Where
do
you
park?
Where
do
you
walk
to
get
there?
So
look
this
plan
will
look
at
all
of
that.
T
T
Working
with
Deputy
Administrator
drumgo,
we
did
come
up
with
the
plan
within
Parks
and
Rec
utilizing
CRA
funds.
So
if
you
see
it
here,
this
plan
would
cut
it
down:
Five-Year
Plan,
I'm,
sorry,
not
five
year,
twelve
year
plan,
but
really
getting
us
there
and
cutting
that
time
down
by
six
years.
This
plan
also
includes
inclusive
equipment.
So
it's
not
just
the
accessibility,
it's
also
adding
inclusive
equipment
for
all
abilities
at
these
areas.
T
As
you
can
see
this-
and
we
noted
here-
this
is
not
account
for
inflation,
but
this
is
projected
cost
today,
how
long
it
would
take
us
and
how
much
it
would
cost
here's
our
breakdown
here
by
each
cra
accounting
taken
each
year,
we've
accessed
every
single
park.
There
looked
at
that
and
broken
that
down
each
year
by
the
number
of
funds
that
we
can
put
in
there
and
then
what
those
parks
would
actually
get
with
the
funds.
T
Basically,
our
recommendation
is
to
you
is
if
we
can
invest
3.3
million
into
this.
This
takes
into
account
for
the
plan.
Allow
for
compliance
within
five
years
reduces
our
plan,
it
parks
and
record
to
do
it
alone
by
six
six
years
and
again,
it
adds
19
inclusive
play
equipment
pieces
in
these
parks,
so
for
us,
staff
recommends
the
approve
of
the
parks
Project
funding,
as
it
is
presented
to
you
today,.
E
Thank
you
very
much,
and,
and
thank
you
for
that
sharesha.
We
really
appreciate
all
your
hard
work
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
this
includes
playground
equipment
because
I
I
heard
a
lot
about
ADL
accessibility
and
that's
obviously
pivotal,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
playground
equipment
is
there
I
think
that's
very,
very
important.
You
know.
I
I
see
some
of
the
areas
cited
here
in
the
report:
East
Tampa,
West,
Tampa,
West
Tampa.
Of
course
the
area
has
the
the
the
park
there.
That
was
started
some
years
ago.
E
Initially
privately.
Now
the
city's
helping
East
Tampa
is
going
to
be
getting
the
large
recreational
investment
that
councilman
Goods
has
been
working
on
for
a
while
with
the
mayor.
You
know
down
I'd
love
to
see
it
looks
like
we
can
hammer
out
downtown
in
Ybor
City
deficits
as
I
call
them
relatively
easier,
especially
Ebor
City,
and
especially
as
those
areas
don't
have
or
will
not
have
in
the
near
future.
E
An
all-inclusive
playground,
East
Tampa
from
what
I
hear
is
going
to
be
getting
one
through
that
initiative.
I
just
talked
about
West
Tampa
already
appears
to
already
have
one.
So
those
two
areas,
I
think,
would
would
probably
be
the
most
needed.
You
know
and
I
do
believe.
This
is
something
number
one
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we're
doing
this
in
the
CRA.
I
moved
it
through
the
CRA,
because
councilman
Carlson
mentioned
something
that
was
important
for
Memorial
Cemetery,
which
is
when
we
do
this.
E
We
have,
it
can
be
done
in
an
arguably
quicker
way
through
the
CRA
and
I
think
this
is
something
where
speed
is
is
is
important
because
we,
this
should
be
done.
This
should
have
been
done
before
any
of
us
got
on
Council.
E
In
other
words,
it's
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
it's
the
right
thing
to
do,
because
if
you
have
somebody
in
your
family
or
a
loved
one
who
has
an
intellectual
disability
or
Autism
or
a
physical
disability,
all
too
often
they're
precluded
from
being
in
our
parks,
and
we
have
a
wonderful
facility
in
West
Tampa.
We
just
had
the
New
Tampa
all
abilities
Park,
which
you
guys
work
so
hard
on
and
again
I.
Thank
you
all
for
it
yesterday
and
I'll.
Thank
you
all
again
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
For
that.
E
But
we
got
to
make
sure
that
all
parts
of
our
city
have
recreational
activity,
cities
that
are
available
for
people
with
intellectual
disabilities,
autism,
Etc
et
cetera,
I.
Think
that's
something
that's
very
very
important,
and
this
is
something
that's
unique
to
the
CRA,
because
it'll
bring
more
people
to
these
areas
right,
it'll,
promote
the
areas
and
it'll
benefit
the
communities
and
get
people
out
and
promote
more
economic
activity,
I
believe
within
the
community.
So
this
is
something
great,
obviously
supported,
110
and
I.
E
Really,
thank
you
guys
for
all
of
your
hard
work
on
this
again
from
the
the
the
prior
administration's
autism,
the
autism,
friendly
Tampa,
to
the
all
abilities
park.
Now
to
this,
where
God
willing
going
to
be
making
great
strides
in
an
area
where
people
are
looking
to
us
who
need
help
to
make
those
strides.
So
thank
you.
Yes,
sir.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
so
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second
but
board
member
Goods.
H
The
master
plan,
the
parks
master
plan-
you
got
a
master
plan,
that's
coming
to
us
sometime
next
month
or
so
right,
so
we're
talking
about
taking
CRA
money.
I
want
to
know
what
the
master
plan
is
for
the
city
as
a
whole.
We
talk
about
these,
this
accessibilities
of
a
Parks
and
Rec,
because
if
you
remember
it,
we
can
do
this,
but
remember
the
guidelines
still
say:
certain
issues
have
to
be
taken
care
by
the
City
versus
CRA
funding.
T
I
mean
I'll
take
particularly
so
the
master
plan
as
a
whole.
Yes,
we'll
look
at
the
whole
park.
These
accessibilities
are
fixes
that
would
need
to
happen
anyways
and
would
build
into
the
master
plan,
so
the
breakdown
of
these
Parks,
some
of
them
may
be
simple
as
parking
spaces,
accessible
ramps,
one
place
one
piece
of
play:
equipment
where
the
master
plan
will
holistically
look
at
your
Park
and
say
at
this
part.
You
need
to
do
this
this
and
this
at
this
entire
park.
T
These
are
going
to
address
strictly
the
accessibility
portions
and
they
will
fit
right
into
the
master
plan,
so
really
we'll
be
knocking
out
some
of
these
ahead
of
time.
Instead
of
waiting
on
the
master
plan,
that
is
a
15
to
20
year
plan.
That's
out
so
again,
shortening
that
timeline
and
addressing
these
needs
that
are
needed
immediately.
H
And
I'm
just
saying
that,
because
if
you're
saying
we're
going
to
put
CRM
money
there,
people
are
saying
well,
why
are
we
waiting
so
long?
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
going
to
be
putting
dollars
in
there.
We
don't
need
to
be
waiting
on
when
the
city
is
going
to
put
their
dollars
in
to
fix
a
playground.
If
we
go
if
we
gonna
fix
something
say
this
is
my
money
here:
I
want
that
fixed
now,
I,
don't
want
to
wait
till
the
city
said.
Well,
we
gonna
do
that
five
years
down
the
road.
H
H
T
Go
ahead,
it's
a
plan,
that's
what
it's
gonna
say:
it's
a
plan,
and
so
you
see
every
year
what
will
be
addressed
and
then
you'll
have
those
perks
laid
out
so
first
year,
West
Tampa,
which
I
can
kind
of
dive
into
that.
A
little
bit
is
a
part
of
the
we're
working
with
the
CRA
and
the
Ray
Park,
so
that
plane
is
already
going
its
place,
so
that'll
fall
into
anyways,
which
we're
already
using
CRA
dollars,
which
is
approved
before
so
you'll
see
that
start
to
fold
in
there.
T
Some
of
these
things
are
already
in
the
works
which
are
there.
Some
of
them
are
larger
fixes,
but
some
of
them
are
really
just
truly
smaller,
accessible
things
to
get
to
that
Park
and
be
able
to
enjoy
that
facility.
A
A
B
E
E
I,
don't
think
I
was
here
during
that,
like
I
said,
I
was
outside,
but
I
I
just
want
to
say
how
much
I
and
I
know
we
all
appreciate
Nicole
Travis,
her
Integrity,
her
sincerity,
her
passion,
her
hard
work
that
she
brings
here
for
the
CRA
in
the
city,
she's
a
good
lady
I
was
somebody
called
me
on
something
this
morning
we
were
actually
talking
about
her
and
and
about
you
and
what
an
amazing
you,
you
know
my
sentiment
so
I
just
wanted
you
to
let
you
know
that
that
I
appreciate
your
sincerity,
your
passion
and
all
issues,
including
Memorial
Cemetery,
where
you're
you're
you
come
forth
as
a
professional,
a
person
with
great
sincerity.
I
Also,
I
appreciate
your
accessibility
and
your
Brilliance
on
issues
and
also
honestly
Integrity
and
just
for
the
public
to
know
she's
still
doing
three
or
four
jobs,
and
this
is
one
of
them.
It's
like
three
or
four
full-time
jobs.
So
thank
you
for
stepping
up.
B
Indeed,
they
they
speak,
the
truth
and
I
think
I
think
they
speak
for
all
of
us
and
how
much
we
appreciate
your
accessibility
for
us
and
and
your
Truth
I
think
that
is
one
of
my
favorite
things
about
you
is
that
you
don't
sugarcoat,
which
is
what
we
all
need.
You
just
want
to
get
things
done.
So
speaking
of
speaking.
G
Of
all
right,
Madam,
chair,
I'm
board
I
have
a
presentation
for
you.
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
We've
talked
about
it
a
little
bit
over
time
since
we
went
through
the
recruitment
of
the
CRA
director
I'm,
presenting
to
you
a
restructuring
and
Staffing
and
efficiency
recommendations
for
the
CRA.
As
an
agency
I'm
going
to
walk
through
several
steps
with
you,
I
do
have
a
slideshow.
O
G
All
right
perfect,
so
with
this
restructuring,
I,
don't
know
how
to
get
it
down
here.
So
of
all
your
nine
different,
it's
eight
districts,
Ebor
one
and
two
makes
it
nine.
You
have
over
8,
300
acres
in
your
city
for
dedicated
to
Redevelopment.
Work
of
the
largest
of
them
is
the
East
Tampa
CRA
District,
which
is
a
district
that
has
the
greatest
need,
but
that
district
is
over
4.
800,
acres
and
you'll
see
the
different
sizes
of
budgets
that
we
talk
about.
G
But
when
we
talk
about
needs,
we
look
at
how
the
CRA
as
a
department
is
structured
and
for
as
long
as
I
can
tell
the
CRA,
as
an
agency
has
been
pretty
much
segmented
in
geographical
areas.
You
have
a
CRA
manager
for
each
one
of
the
districts,
and
but
it's
also
made
it
very
hard
for
us
to
collaborate.
They
work
in
silos
as
and
not
really
being
able
to
take
advantage
of
their
each
other's
strengths
and
experiences
for
the
overall
Department.
G
We
have
a
total
of
15
full-time
employees.
At
one
point,
it
was
up
to
21
full-time
employees,
I'm,
not
sure
where
we've
lost
them
along
the
way.
But
they're
in
three
different
offices
as
well.
So
just
something
to
consider
when
you
talk
about
CRA
managers
for
each
district
and
then
also
in
three
different
physical
offices.
G
One
of
the
things
that
I've
spoken
to
you
about
is
the
number
of
meetings
that
the
CRA
managers
and
the
staff
support
for
the,
including
the
cacs
I,
want
you
to
take
a
look
at
the
CAC
meetings,
plus
the
subcommittee
meetings.
When
you
have
CAC
meetings,
those
are
publicly
noticed
and
minutes
have
to
be
taken,
so
does
the
subcommittees
and
so
look
at
each
one
of
the
districts
in
the
C,
the
CAC
meetings
and
subcommittee
meetings
we're
talking
about
over
287
meetings
annually.
G
G
There's
a
lot
of
opportunity
lost
of
the
opportunity
cost
when
it
comes
to
the
capital.
We
have
goals
that
we
have
similar
goals,
but
the
programs
are
being
administered
differently
in
the
different
districts.
The
one
thing
that
developers
want
anyone,
that's
investing
into
the
districts,
they
want
certainty.
We
can't
provide
certainty
because
we're
operating
programs
different
in
each
one
of
the
districts,
programmatic,
efficacy.
G
We
don't
know,
what's
working
and
what's
not
working,
we're,
not
we're
not
able
to
measure
our
success
and
change
policies
because
they're
not
all
the
same
again.
We
have
a
common.
We
know
that
we
have
a
common
goal.
We
know
that
we
want
these
just
areas
that
are
of
disinvestment
to
be
heavily
invested
on,
and
we
want
to
raise
that
tide.
G
But
right
now
we
can't
figure
out
which
programs
are
working
which
ones
aren't
working
because
of
the
geographical
silos,
the
lack
of
collaboration
and
the
not
consistent
policies
and
then
with
when
it
comes
to
the
public
trust
I.
Think
that,
just
over
time,
when
things
are
not
getting
done,
we
start
to
erode
The
public's
trust,
because
they're,
not
things,
are
not
moving
fast
enough
and
we're
honestly
trying
but
I
think
if
we
can
align
policies
and
be
consistent
in
that
shared
common
goal
across
all
districts.
G
In
my
opinion,
is
not
acceptable.
We
need
to
get
the
money
out
and
do
the
work
of
what
the
state
statute
date
takes,
that
we
should
do
so.
I
just
have
some
general
observations
to
set
us
on
this
new
trajectory.
If
you
will,
this
is
not
me
trying
to
slow
you
down.
This
is
not
me
trying
to
force
a
will.
It's
just
observation
on
why
things
are
not
moving
and
just
having
a
serious
and
hard
conversation
about
the
Strategic
direction
from
the
CRA
board.
G
It's
been
mentioned
several
times
to
have
a
retreat
of
some
kind.
With
this
board
and
I'll
tell
you
that
oftentimes,
the
Motions
that
you
make
as
a
CRA
board
are
not
necessarily
consistent
with
the
Motions
that
are
being
made
at
the
CAC
level.
They
often
are
in
conflict
or
not
at
the
same
Pace
that
you
want
programs
and
projects
moved
out.
G
We
would
benefit
from
that
consistent
policy
and
governance,
reorganizing
the
department,
so
that
we're
using
people
to
the
in
the
right
putting
people
in
the
right
places,
increasing
staff
capacity,
relocation
of
all
staff,
Under,
One
Roof,
and
support
the
staff
support
of
CRA
meetings,
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
each
one
of
these
recommendations.
I
hope
that
you
would
consider
them
and
if
you
can
make
a
motion
to
give
us
some
direction
on
how
we
should
move
forward
at
the
end
of
the
day.
G
The
way
that
we're
operating
right
now
really
is
not
in
the
best
interest
of
the
agency,
so
recommendation
number
one
is
for
that
strategic
Direction
I
am
recommending
that,
if
you
must,
if
you
can't
come
up
with
another
day,
cancel
one
of
your
regular
CRA
meetings
and
use
that
meeting
for
a
day,
Retreat,
that's
facilitated
by
an
outside
facilitator.
I
put
two
dates
up
there
for
us
to
do
that:
board
retreat
and
at
that
Retreat
I
think
we
can
discuss
policy
and
governance
in
I'll
get
to
that
on
the
next
slide.
U
G
G
All
right,
so
this
is
the
recommendation
for
that
strategic,
Direction,
Retreat
and
then
recommendation
number
two
from
a
consistent
policy
government
governance
to
put
a
moratorium
on
creating
any
new
programs.
We
have
a
lot
of
programs
that
are
in
each
one
of
the
CRA
districts.
We
need
to
take
the
time
to
align
them
to
make
sure
that
they're
consistent,
some
programs
could
be
used
in
other
CRA
districts,
but
they're
not
quite
the
same.
G
So
we
need
the
time
if
we
could
just
put
a
moratorium
on
creating
new
programs
for
a
while
until
we
can
align
those
policies,
Grant
and
program
policy,
alignment
for
the
CRA
districts,
and
also
CAC
governance
and
bylaws
alignment
for
all
districts.
When
I
showed
you
the
slide
before
with
the
table
you'll
see
that
the
East
Tampa
partnership
is
a
meeting
that
our
staff
also
services.
That
meeting,
in
addition
to
subcommittees
Ebor
and
East
Tampa,
are
elected
positions
for
the
CAC,
as
opposed
to
the
others.
G
The
third
is
reorganizing
the
department
as
a
whole,
looking
at
instead
of
having
them
geographically
segmented
out
as
one
for
eboard
one
for
Channelside
we
separate
will
not
separate,
but
we
have
different
areas
which
is
dedicated
to
policy
and
planning.
Community
engagement,
fiscal
operations
and
asset
management.
Also
program.
Excuse
me
not
program,
project
management
and
then
Housing
Development.
So
these
are
the
general
categories
that
the
CRA
and
it's
it's
true
in
all
of
the
districts.
You
just
have
one
or
two
people
working
on
them
and
they
have
different
levels
of
expertise.
G
If
you
will,
as
a
CRA
board,
making
that
decision
to
allocate
30
percent
of
housing
funds
for
your
housing,
affordability
being
able
to
staff
up
in
that
position,
my
recommendation
is
to
add
eight
positions,
not
all
at
the
same
time,
because
we
need
to
get
the
right
people
in
the
right
role.
I
anticipate
that
we
can
add
three
in
fiscal
year
23
just
because
with
the
budget
that
you've
already
approved
and
then
five
going
for
it
in
fiscal
year,
24.
G
Sorry
animation
on
my
slide,
let's
see
in
addition
to
the
reorganization,
I,
don't
we're
not
recommending
to
hire
these
people
all
at
once.
We
do
believe
that
there
needs
to
be
capacity
added.
We
can
add
capacity
using
a
consultant
that
can
help
us
with
project
and
operational
Services.
If
I
could
just
pause
for
a
second
to
say
that
if
once
we're
moving
forward
with
this
change,
you
can't
do
it
all
at
once.
You
can't
just
stop
serving
the
CRA
districts.
G
We
have
to
continue
serving
the
districts,
continue,
the
programs
that
we
already
have,
and
we
believe
that
we
can
add
that
capacity
and
do
this
balancing
act
with
hiring
a
consultant
to
help
us
with
data
management,
program
management
and
project
and
operational
Services,
as
we
staff
up
and
train
and
get
the
right
staff
in
the
right
place.
This
is
not
a
long-term
ask,
but
something
in
that
transition
period
and
then,
ultimately,
the
consultant
we
can
have
them
help
us
with
the
ultimate
recruitment
of
your
CRA
director.
G
And
then,
lastly,
the
last
recommendation
is
to
co-locate
the
CRA
staff
terminate
existing
lease
agreements,
operational
purchases
and
to
move
forward
with
operational
purchases
for
co-location.
That
means
cubicle
Furniture.
If
we
put
them
all
in
one
staff,
we
might
need
to
purchase
cubicle
furniture
and
that
kind
of
stuff,
and
when
we
co-locate
the
staff
into
one
location,
we
have
the
benefit
of
a
culture
of
collaboration
being
able
to
it's,
like
you
say,
water,
cooler,
talker,
being
able
to
what
problems.
Are
you
working
on?
How
can
I
help
step
in
right?
Now?
G
G
So
this
is
the
one
where
I'm,
showing
the
same
office,
support
staff
that
we
have.
We
have
a
position
for
marketing,
but
this
is
breaking
down
that,
instead
of
being
geographical,
location
is
broken
down
by
policy
and
programs.
Project
management,
Community
engagement
and
the
community
engagement
piece
is
really
like
what
you
have
now
with
your
CRA
managers,
which
are
Liaisons
to
the
CAC.
These
are
the
people
that
are
going
out
in
the
community
and
hearing
what
the
needs
are
and
working
with
our
cacs
fiscal
and
operations.
G
Management
is
what
I
mentioned
with
Staffing
up
to
be
able
to
strategically
do
strategic,
Acquisitions
and
then
the
housing
development
team.
Is
this
the
one
you
were
talking
about?
Councilman
Goods?
Yes,
yes,
if.
B
I
We're
just
talking
about
each
one
at
a
time.
Yes,
yeah
I
made
a
motion
for
this
almost
four
years
ago
and
I
think
it
was
unanimously
supported
and
then
I
think
we
brought
it
up
again.
A
year
later,
I
think
we
need
to
do
this.
It's
a
good
idea
to
hold
it
after
the
new
board
is
seated
just
in
case
anything
changes,
but
I
think
it's
absolutely
necessary
to
do
this.
We've
got
to
be
on
the
same
page.
I
An
example
is
that
most
of
the
cacs
did
not
come
back
asking
us
about
affordable
housing,
but
we
know
looking
Citywide
that
it's
a
huge
crisis
and
then
we
need
to
put
money,
and
then
we
all
agreed
to
do
that,
and
so
we
needed.
We
need
to
think
strategically
and
it's
a
good
idea
to
provide
some
parameters
within
what
the
law
allows.
I
think
sometimes
way
in
the
past.
They
might
have
like
stretched
it
a
little
bit,
and
so
we
stay
within
solving
some
in
blight
housing,
affordability
and
and
disease.
H
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
because
I
know
when
I
went
to
the
Azure
CRA
conference.
You
learn
things
you
don't
know
and
I
think
is
critical,
that
board
members
go
or
we
go
to
that
conference.
So
you
can
really
understand
what
the
parameters
are.
Cras
are
about.
So
I'm
really
happy
with
this
right
here,
because
I
think
that's
that's
really
necessary.
B
My
recommendation
danger
would
be
for
June
8th
because
May
16th,
we
already
have
some
items
on
the
agenda.
You
May.
B
B
B
G
I
Yeah,
but
it
just
experience
on
the
charter
review,
commission
and
then
and
then
with
city
council.
We
need
to
get
a
a
facilitator
who
can
take
control
and
manage
and
and
we
need
the
rules
set
in
advance
and
if
it's
a
Content
expert,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
facilitate
and
maybe
layer
in
objective
content,
not
try
to
steer
yeah.
Absolutely
we've
seen
that
kind
of
thing
in
the
past.
Thank
you.
G
Recommendation
number
two
is
to
really
get
us
in
line
with
the
consistent
policy
on
governance
would
like
to
have
a
moratorium
on
creating
any
new
programs.
We
have
an
abundance
of
programs
that
are
in
place
now
that
are
not
being
utilized
the
way
or
marketed
in
in
an
effort
collect
in
a
collective
effort,
and
so
if
we
could
just
pause
on
creating
any
new
programs
right
now
until
after
we
have
our
Retreat,
we
realign
our
policies.
C
Think
that's
a
good
idea
and
let
me
tell
you
why
we
have
a
lot
on
our
plate
and
the
CRA
is
is
doing
a
lot
and
we
have
to
focus
on
the
the
obstacles
we're
trying
to
overcome
now,
instead
of
keep
piling
on
because
we're
going
to
lose
our
focus
and
stretch
ourselves
even
thinner,
you
know
one
of
the
most
recent
things
we
did
was
allocate
the
20
million
dollars
in
unspent
dollars
for
housing.
C
We
have
to
focus
on
that
focus
on
other
programs
that
that
we're
already
working
on
catch
up
and
then,
after
that
Retreat.
When
we
can
have
this
discussion
with
the
facilitator,
we
can.
We
can
revisit
new
things
and
see
where
we're
at
so
I
think
that's
a
good
idea.
I
I
agree
with
this
too,
and
as
part
of
the
retreat
we
should.
Maybe
we
could
have
content
experts
for
different
hours,
like
Morris,
could
be
a
Content
expert
on
the
law
that,
if
he'll,
if
he's
willing
to
do
it,
but
he
seems
to
be
an
expert
on
it.
Maybe
there's
a
Content
expert
on
programming
that
we
could
bring
from
fpr
or
whatever
it's
called
that
can
talk
about
other
kind
of
innovative
programs
and
then
I
think
what
there
are
other
programs
that
we
might
I
think
we
should
really
look
at
all.
I
The
existing
programs,
like
I,
made
a
motion
a
couple
years
ago
to
just
limit
facade
grants
to
Historic
preservation
that
failed,
but
I
think
we
ought
to
look
at
it
again
because
we
need
to.
We
need
to
figure
out
where's
the
best
use
of
money
and,
most
importantly,
I
think
we
need
to
tie
the
programs
to
outcomes
instead
of
output.
So
an
output
is
that
the
facade
is
is
changed.
The
outcome
would
be
that
the
the
median
household
income
in
that
neighborhood
went
up
right.
I
So
we've
it's
not
that
we
have
direct
influence
over
it,
but
we
need
to
be
tracking
that
and
USF
offered
three
years
ago.
Nobody,
you
know
in
the
administration,
took
us
up
on
it,
but
the
administration
I
mean
the
USF
offered
to
give
their
for
free,
their
data
analytics
people
to
help
us
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do
to
move
the
needle
on
the
numbers
and
I.
I
Don't
know
if
everybody
knows,
but
the
the
latest
data
shows
that
and
in
just
one
data
point
in
2019,
the
disparity
in
in
Saint
Pete
between
blacks
and
whites
was
fifteen
thousand
and
in
Tampa
it
was
21
000..
Now
it's
thirty
five
thousand,
so
the
numbers
have
gotten
worse,
and
so,
while
during
the
time
that
we
have
a
hundred
million
dollars
in
the
bank,
the
the
problem,
the
disparity
problem
has
gotten
worse
and
the
income
levels
are
not
rising
at
the
rates
of
the
successful
cities,
and
so
we've
got
to
quickly
change
these.
I
But
we
can't
be
it's
like
a
company
that
says:
oh,
let's
launch
a
new
product.
If
you
don't
pay
attention
to
profit
or
or
shareholder
value,
then
then
it
doesn't
matter
whether
the
Prof,
whether
you
think
the
product
was
successful
or
not.
We
need
to
stay
focused
on
community
outcomes,
to
move
the
needle
in
these
communities
to
make
them
more
successful
and
it
can't
be
just
the
increase
in
avalorum
taxes.
We've
got
to
look
at
it
in
economically,
not
just
with
real
estate
thinking.
B
B
Because
I
think
a
lot
of
people
are
are
frustrated
that
we
aren't
going
as
fast,
and
while
this
will
help
with
the
restructuring
to
speed
things
up,
it's
not
for
a
time
we
are
going
to
have
to
just
hit
a
little
bit
of
a
pause
on
creation,
but
that
so
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
give
some
type
of
expectation.
I
mean
again,
it
wouldn't
necessarily
be
you
know
hard
and
fast,
but
we
expect
to
be
able
to
take
new
programs
up
in
August
or
September
or
not
that
I
mean
so.
B
G
I
I
would
recommend
maybe
pausing
any
new
programs,
at
least
until
September,
just
because
you
have
your
retreat
in
June,
where,
in
the
meantime,
we're
going
to
try
to
align
these
the
policies
and
the
programs
that
we
have
now,
and
let
me
just
make
sure
that
I'm
clear
this
is
just
a
moratorium
on
creating
any
new
programs.
Existing
programs
we're
still
still
going
to
service
them.
If
we
have
an
applicant
we're
still
taking
them
in
and
we're
going
to
to
move
those
programs.
G
Those
Grant
applicant
applications
along
this,
so
I
would
recommend
for
right
now,
maybe
in
September
or
July
I
might
have
a
different
recommendation
for
you,
but
at
least
for
right
now,
I
would
say
to
just
pause
on
creating
any
new
programs
until
September,
so
that
we
can
get
with
the
policy
alignment
with
existing
programs,
have
the
retreat
in
June
and
see
if
there's
any
additional
direction
that
you
have
given
us
based
on
the
Grant
and
program
policy
alignments.
What.
B
Yeah,
yes,
yes,
board.
Member.
H
G
G
What
are
the,
what
are
the
outcomes
and
not
necessarily
just
the
outputs
are?
Is
it
doing
the
work
that
we
wanted
to
do,
and
so
I
believe
that
when
we
do
this
policy
assessment
alignment
with
the
grant
programs,
we
probably
are
going
to
come
to
you
with
some
recommendations
to
Sunset
some
programs
or
to
make
modifications
to
programs
that
are
not
necessarily
hitting
the
Target
or,
for
instance,
the
facade
Improvement
Grant.
Is
it
doing
what
we
intend
for
it
to
do?
G
H
I
agree
with
the
facade,
because
I
think
you
know
with
some
that's
just
right.
Looking
at
looking
at
some
areas,
people
may
have
that
Capital
who
can
batch
and
do
certain
things,
whereas
other
people
don't
and
the
key
is
to
get
them
Capital
to
be
able
to
do
the
program
to
do
what
needs
to
be
done.
Upload
the
community
or
the
businesses,
whatever
you
know
so,
I
think
that's
something
we
can
look
at
because
I
know
a
lot
of
people.
H
G
H
B
Oh
I
was
just
going
to
agree
and
say
that
I
think
by
doing
this
and
realigning
making
sure
our
programs
match
throughout
that
it's
just
easier
to
discuss
to
to
implement
so
I
I
100
agree.
So.
G
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
feedback
on
moratorium
on
creating
new
programs
until
the
beginning
of
the
next
fiscal
year
grant
program
policy
alignment
seems
that
there
is
consensus
on
that.
If
you
can
just
give
me
two
minutes
on
giving
me
some
discussion
on
the
CAC
governance
and
bylaws,
we've
brought
that
to
you
several
times.
I,
don't
expect
you
to
make
a
decision
on
that.
If
you
could
just
give
us
a
little
guidance,
we
can
bring
something
back
to
you
in
the
retreat.
This
has
come
up
numerous
times.
Your
previous
director
has
brought
recommendations
to
you.
H
We're
aligning
new
policy
and
guidelines
for
the
CRA,
then
those
cras
should
have
the
same
governing
policies
because
it
runs
consistent
and
you
don't
have
an
unbalanced
scale.
I
think
that's
what
we
had
now.
You
know
you
look
at
evil.
You
look
at
East
Tampa,
just
along
with
that
group
The,
the
scale
is
unbalanced
because
you
know
sometimes
you
have
an
even
meaning
here
with
the
the
partnership.
You've
got
the
partnership.
H
G
So,
are
you
suggesting
that
the
same
governance
that
that
the
same
governance
that
dictates
the
ca,
the
other
two
cacs
be
consistent
for
East,
Tampa
and
Ybor,
because
those
are
the
two
outliers
really
yeah?
Is
that
is
there
consensus
on
that
yeah,
yeah,
okay
and
I'm
I'll
we'll
bring
We'll
shape
stuff
and
bring
it
to
you
along
the
way?
I'm,
not
asking
you
to
make
a
decision
right
now,
hard
and
fast
on
that,
just
to
give
us
a
little
Direction
on
how
we
bring
and
we
may
bring
once
we
start
working
on
it.
G
B
And
I
I
would
just
also
like
to
mention
that,
with
this
goes
to
communication
and
I
know
that
we
saw
on
the
flow
chart
a
one
focus
on
communication
and
I.
Think
that
is
an
area
where
we're
hearing
from
a
lot
of
community
that
they
don't
know
these
things
are
going
on.
So
if
we
have
some
consistent
governance
and
bylaws
so
that
that
we
can
share
things
just
across
the
CRA
from
from
our
social
media
accounts
from
posting
I,
think
that
will
save
a
lot
of
time
and
make
it
more
consistent.
G
Yes
and
so
you'll
hear
from
Felix
a
little
bit
later,
one
of
the
things
from
her
presentation
we're
trying
to
have
one
of
the
things
I
heard
you
guys
loud
and
clear
is
that
people
need
to
know
that
their
CRA
dollars
are
at
work.
The
CRA
needs
to
be
marketed
as
a
partner
on
projects
that,
whether
it's
a
CRA
LED
project
or
whether
the
CR
is
supplementing
with
funds
that
this
people
need
to
know
that
the
CRA
is
participating
in
that.
G
So
some
of
our
presentation
that
you'll
see
this
afternoon
is
to
get
that
consistent
message
or
just
a
logo
and
start
to
build
our
marketing
strategy
around
that,
but
and
how
we
support
the
districts
as
well.
So
would.
R
This
I
have
talked
about
this.
If
people
don't
visually
see
where
their
dollars
are
going
to,
they
don't
know
about
it.
Miss
Travis,
a
big
sign
in
front
of
every
project
at
CRA
dollars,
are
being
spent
on.
This
is
your
c-a-r-a-c-r-a
dollars
at
work
if
they
don't
see
it
they're
not
going
to
know
about
it.
Thank
you,
madam.
I
Yeah
I
just
I
just
want
to
say-
and
this
is
not
a
comment
about
you-
I
object
to
anyone,
saying
that
the
CRA
board
has
not
made
decisions
in
the
last
few
years.
I
We've
made
decisions
over
and
over
and
over
again
very
specific
decisions,
and
if
any
staff
member
need
us
to
make
a
decision,
we
we
make
it
with
a
quick
vote,
and
so,
if
we've
taken
the
initiative
with
many
many
things
that
didn't
get
done
and
if
staff
wanted
us
to
make
a
decision
on
something,
they
could
have
just
asked
us
to
make
a
vote.
Just
like
you
are
right
now
and
so
I,
don't
there's
there's
been
no
lack
of
decisiveness
on
this
board.
We've
moved
really
quickly.
A
B
B
What
so
we
need
a
motion
for
What,
specifically
so.
B
G
S
G
F
B
R
B
I
have
a
motion
from
board
member
Goods
to
accept
the
recommendation
for
number
two
seconded
by
board
member
sitro
all
in
favor
aye.
Any
opposed
okay
motion
passes.
Thank.
G
You
the
next
slide
that
I
have
is
just
recommendation
number
three.
This
is
I.
This
is
a
recommendation
on
generally
how
to
structure
the
department
I'm
open
to
feedback.
If
you
have
any
feedback
on
how
to
restructure
instead
of
doing
geographical
location,
specific
areas,
we
do
it
more
along
the
line
with
what
we
need
to
happen
as
a
function
in
the
department.
Remember
Carlson,.
I
A
I
G
I
Then
the
second
thing
is
that,
depending
on
where
you
all
end
up,
there's
a
lot
of
close
proximity
to
several
of
the
districts,
but
at
least
if
you're
in
downtown,
then
Ebor
and
East
Tampa
are
far
away
and
there's
been
some
criticism
in
the
last
few
years
about
the
overhead
and
Ebor
even
from
the
owners
of
the
building
that
were
releasing
they're
like.
Why
are
you
guys
wasting
so
much
money?
I
So
if,
if
there
was
a,
my
recommendation
would
be
to
rent
a
smaller
space
for
for
the
community
engagement
person
just
so
there
would
be
a
physical
presence,
at
least
in
eboard
I.
Don't
know
how
anybody
feels
about
East
Tampa,
but
maybe
that
person
could
be
there
part-time
or
something
just
to
have
some
office
hours
there
for
people
who
are
there.
I
I
talked
I
had
previously
spoken
to
the
chamber
and
they're
pretty
squeezed,
but
maybe
we
could
lease
a
table
from
them
or
something
there's
also
co-work
space
like
industrious
and
others
there,
but
it
is
if,
instead
of
renting
a
huge
space,
if
we
could
rent
a
very
small
space
with
office
hours,
I
think
that
would
that
would
mean
a
lot
to
those
communities.
If.
G
The
recommendation
number
four:
we
talk
about
the
co-location
before
I
make
any
decisions
on
that
I'd
like
to
bring
you
some
options
to
that,
and
we
could
certainly
talk
about
office
hours
in
the
location
so
before
I
do
anything
I'm
going
to
bring
it
back
to
you
with
some
recommendations
board.
G
H
H
A
I
Yeah
but
there's
a
difference
if
they're
all
co-located
in
downtown,
for
example,
or
at
Hannah,
but.
B
Anybody
else,
okay,
then
I,
just
want
to
say
that
I
think
this
is
an
excellent
way.
We
have
a
lot
of
really
great
staff
right
now
that
have
expertise
and
we
are
siled
them
so
they're,
not
sharing
that
expertise
with
all
the
cras
and
so
I
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
way,
I
think
again,
it
will
take
a
little
time
and
that
we
need
to
be
very
clear.
B
We
need
to
have
a
presentation
once
this
passes,
that
we
can
share
with
all
the
cacs
so
that
they
are
reassured
that
they
will
not
that
that
things
are
not
going
to
change,
but
actually
get
better.
I
mean
they're
going
to
change
for
the
better
and
that
they're
going
to
be
receiving
more
support
with
with
with
more
subject
matter
experts.
So
that's
my
only
case
yeah,
so
I
have
a
motion
from
board
member
Goods
seconded
by
board
member
Carlson
any
further
discussion.
Okay,
all
in
favor
any
opposed
okay
motion
passes.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you
if
we
go
to
recommendation
3B,
this
is
for
us
to
supplement,
while
we're
making
some
of
these
changes
to
put
out
an
RFP
for
a
consultant
to
provide
project
and
operational
Services
program
management,
and
it
won't
be
limited
to
just
this.
But
during
this
transition
and
reorganization
there
are
consultant
firms
that
specialize
in
CRA
work.
So
it's
not
like
we're
going
out
to
not
wouldn't
use
somebody.
That's
subject
matter
experts,
but
this
would
help
us
to
continue
serving
the
districts
while
we're
in
this
transitional
period
and
getting
everything
aligned.
H
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
recruitment,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
before
we
hire
this
person
is
that
you've
got
the
base
set
because
you're,
you
know
what
I'm
saying
I
don't
want
to
just
like
coming
I
want
to
make
sure
you
have
the
base
set,
so
they
can
just
come
in
and
just
keep
the
base
moving
versus
come
in
and
make
a
bunch
of
changes.
I
want
the
base
set
and.
I
It's
I
don't
know
who
the
consulting
firms
are,
but
what
I
would
like
the
reason
why
I
don't
go
to
the
fpr,
whatever
it's
called
FRS.
G
I
I
They
both
left,
but
if
we
went
to
Corp
corporate
relations
and
or
research
and
Innovation
and
or
the
business
school
and
I'm
happy
to
help
you
do
that.
But
I.
If
we
have
any
money,
we
could
Outsource
it
to
them
and
and
have
them
look
at
it.
But
we'd
have
access
to
their
data.
Analytics
people
and
they've
offered
to
help
us
for
free
and
then
the
most
important
thing
is
they.
I
They
have
Predictive
Analytics
and
you
know:
they've
helped
build
billions
of
dollars
of
wealth
with
companies
like
connectwise
in
our
community,
through
their
data
analytics
and
I.
Think
that
we
could
LeapFrog
by
by
really
looking
down
deep
into
the
numbers
and
understanding
which
programs
have
the
propensity
to
to
really
change
the
community
and
change
the
numbers,
so
that
so
that
we
will
be
by
data
not
by
claim
we
will
be
by
data
at
one
of
the
best
cities
in
the
world.
So.
B
K
That
that
is
accurate
and
you
know
to
councilman
Carlson's
point
I
think
that
we
we
are
looking
to
get
Innovative
and
we've
talked
to
USF,
about
engaging
in
some
of
our
Redevelopment
plans
and
with
the
Redevelopment
plan
updates.
I
think
that
we
can
also
talk
about
recommendations
and
and
the
analytics
piece
to
help
drive
us
a
little
bit
better
but
but
you're
you're
correct
on
that.
Okay,
yeah.
H
Well,
I
was
going
to
say
that
you
know
Mr
Carlson,
you
know,
he's
he's
been
all
over.
The
world
he's
seen
all
kinds
of
things
you
know
and
wish
I
could
have
been
all
over
the
world.
You
know,
but
it's
glad
you
have
somebody
who's
seen
things
in
other
places.
You
can
have
that
kind
of
thought
pattern,
so
I
mean
I
would
suggest
that
you
know
we
we
look
at
maybe
adding
those
expert
people
outside
the
box
people.
G
No,
not
at
all
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
that
we
would
add
them
specifically
to
to
the
ones
to
help
us
to
keep
the
ship
going
right.
Right,
yeah,
but
I
think
I
know
exactly
what
he's.
H
G
A
I
Don't
know
if
I
said
this
in
this
forum,
but
I've
said
it
other.
Please
I
think
that
10
years
from
now,
Ybor
city
is
going
to
be
the
best
case
study
in
the
entire
world
for
Innovation
and
creativity,
and
not
because
of
the
buildings
that
are
being
built.
The
buildings
will
be
impressive,
but
with
all
the
innovator,
defense
contractors,
their
I.T
companies,
all
kinds
of
really
creative
companies
and
the
community
that's
being
built.
The
software
and
the
hardware
is
going
to
be
the
best
case
study
in
the
entire
world.
I
Everybody
who
touches
it
we've
all
touched
it
a
little
bit
already,
but
everybody
who
touches
it
can
end
up
being
consultant
to
go
to
other
countries
to
talk
about
it
and
East
Tampa
that
we've
been
looking
at
it
differently.
Most
cities
look
at
areas
like
that,
as
as
opportunities
to
tear
things
down
and
gentrify
and
build
real
estate.
I
We've
been
looking
at
it
really
differently
about
being
respectful
to
the
history
and
culture
and
and
helping
build
a
sense
of
community,
and
that
also
will
be
a
case
study,
at
least
throughout
the
country
and
and
I
think,
if
we're
really
Innovative
and
really
focused
on
the
numbers,
when
you
want
to
use
it
as
a
case
study,
you've
got
to
go
back
to
the
economic
numbers
and
show
how
you
move
the
needle,
because
the
the
outputs
don't
matter
it,
doesn't
matter
how
many
facades
you
fixed
or
how
many
roads
you
fix.
I
G
B
G
Pass
this,
thank
you
and
then
the
last
one
is
work.
Councilman
Carlson
was
talking
about
the
co-location
of
CRA
staff,
and
so
what
I'm
asking
you
for
this
is
to
you
know.
If
we
were
to
co-locate
everyone,
we
need
to
terminate
existing
leases
I'm
not
going
to
cut
it
off
today,
but
we
need
to
start
preparing
if
that's
the
direction
that
you'd
like
to
go
any
I'm
asking
for
your
approval
for
any
needs
that
we
have
with
co-location
whether
it's
cubicles
Furniture.
Anything
like
that.
B
E
G
G
Facilities
I
have
some
ideas,
I'd,
probably
like
to
talk
to
you
guys
about
that.
If
we
were
to
co-locate
the
CRA
staff,
there's
a
possibility
of
building
out
a
room
for
us
to
have
our
CAC
meetings
in
a
similar
location.
So
this
is
just
giving
me
direction
that
you
are
okay
with
moving
in
that
direction.
Any
recommendation
for
additional
leases
or
I
have
to
bring
that
back
to
you
with
a
location
requirement.
E
E
Yeah
yeah
I,
probably
I,
mean
my
opinion.
If
it's
going
to
change
so
that
this
would
change
their
locations
of
their
meetings.
A
G
R
B
R
You
board
member.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Playing.
Devil's
advocate
the
first
word
in
CRA
is
community
yeah
and
I
I'm
going
to
tend
to
agree
with
councilman
Carlson
that
even
if
we're
going
to
close
down
some
of
these
areas,
you
still
need
satellites,
so
the
community
can
go
to
these
offices.
S
R
Not
talking
staff
I'm,
just
talking
volunteers
and
if
you
have
a
centralized
location,
are
these
volunteers
going
to
be
compensated
for
time
travel
gas
parking,
especially
if
it
may
happen
to
be
downtown,
we
have
we.
We
have
a
new
building
being
built
on
Hannah
Street,
which
has
supposedly
going
to
have
a
huge
area.
Meeting
meeting
area.
Excuse
me
that
might
be
convenient,
but
again
the
community
should
have
at
least
a
small
office
Front
to
go
to
within
their
own
Community,
to
ask
how
things
can
be
done.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
Yeah
I
would
I
would
vote
for
this.
With
the
caveat
that
we
should
have
at
least
one
rep
located
with
office
hours
in
Ebor
and
maybe
in
East
Tampa
and
then
a
question
is:
would
you
just
put
them
in
Hannah,
Hannah
or
yeah?
Okay,
so
I
would.
I
Would
just
throw
out
an
idea,
then
this
kind
of
combines
two
ideas,
but
you
know
I
pushed
the
idea.
A
few
years
ago
of
neighborhood
commercial
districts
and
the
planners
I
talked
to
say
there
could
be
130
of
them
throughout
the
city
and
I've
driven
around
with
folks
in
East
Tampa.
There
could
be
three
or
four
there
and
what
that's
doing
is
providing
a
little
bit
of
commercial
on
a
corner,
so
that
then,
and
maybe
some
density
of
housing.
I
I
What
I
think
is
we
need.
We
need
something
that
is
like
a
coffee
shop
with
the
incubator
space
next
to
it,
and
what
I've
seen
in
Boston
and
some
other
cities
is
that
similar
organizations
will
will
buy
a
buy
or
build
a
building.
Like
let's
say
we
built
a
coffee
shop
space
downstairs
that
we
could
lease
to
monetize
it,
and
then
we
and
then
we
have
two
or
three
stories
above
there
could
be
affordable
housing
on
one
level.
I
There
could
be
our
offices
and
and
if
we
built
in
the
right
way,
we
could
lease
it
so
that
we
don't
have
any
operating
expenses
and
we
make
money
on
the
leases.
But,
more
importantly,
we
provide
space
for
maybe
affordable
housing
and
or
office
space
and
then
and
then
place
for
entrepreneurs
and
Community
leaders
to
meet
just
an
idea.
Thank.
I
H
H
But
she's
saying
she
needs
those
managers
in
a
location
that
be
able
to
do
their
job.
You
can
bring
that
Community
engagement
still
to
the
community
and
maybe
a
part-time
person
or
whatever,
whatever
to
be
able
to
maybe
take
on
a
couple
of
areas
or
whatever
and
bring
that
information
back
but
yeah.
But
the
the
just
go
leasing
a
bunch
of
places.
Again
that's
what
she's
trying
to
get
out
of
releasing
all
these
different
places,
but
Mr
Carlson,
you're
right
a
coffee
shop,
somebody
that
we
can
build
something
that
office
birth,
staffers
could
go.
There.
H
I
mean
I'm,
fair
enough
to
do
right.
There's
no
place
in
the
east
side
of
town
to
go.
Have
a
meeting
have
a
cup
of
coffee
or
yeah.
They
have
a
meeting
or
such
and
such
but
I
think
staff
needs
to
be
all
together
collaborating
and
you
could
probably
get
some
part-time
or
do
some
some
of
this
other
community
engagement
to
meet
when
people
need
to
meet
or
go
to
a
certain
location.
R
You
very
much
thank
you
for
articulating
my
point
so
well,
councilman
Coots!
The
idea
is
yes
to
narrow
down
the
expenses
that
we're
paying,
but
I
still
feel
that
there
needs
to
be
someone
within
the
community
or
the
community
who
expresses
interest,
is
safe
for
a
facade
Grant
or
want
to
give
their
opinion
about
a
park
or
need
to
be
able
to
go
there
because
remember
we're
still
dealing
with
slum
and
blight.
B
I
would
I
know
that
you're
looking
for
possible
purchase
space
for
co-location,
so
I
might
suggest
somewhere
in
the
Ebor,
slash
East,
Tampa
area,
for
that
a
for
for
cost
I
mean
absolutely
a
centralized
location,
but
downtown
is
wildly
expensive.
Now
that
may
not
be
the
best
use
of
our
CRA
resources,
so
I
would
I
would
encourage
that
I
also
would
have
no
problem
with.
Even
you
know,
we
wouldn't
even
necessarily
have
to
rent
space
somewhere.
B
We
could
even
I
mean
we
could
even
do
something
like
a
like
a
bus.
I,
don't
know
if
anybody
remembers
the
bookmobile
from.
A
M
B
But
just
something
something
like
that
where
they
can,
where
you
can
be
in
a
different
space
in
different
times,
just
to
have
a
community
outreach
person,
but
I,
don't
think
Outreach
needs
to
necessarily
have
office
space,
because
office
space
is
very
expensive
or
full-time
office
space
rather
so,
but
I
believe
right
now
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
from
council
member
Goods
seconded
by
council
member
Miranda
for
approval
of
recommendation
number
four
Mr
drumko.
K
Whoa
Madam,
chair
I,
think
you
were
moving
it
along,
but
I
just
I
really
didn't
want
to
get
into
the
Weeds
on
it.
I
think
part
of
the
challenge
now,
even
today,
is
that
you
know
our
staff.
They
don't
they're
they're
mobile
right.
They
have
cars
that
have
feet.
They
should
be
walking
the
community
and
engaging
with
the
with
their
constituents
as
well.
K
So
a
lot
of
this
is
go,
sell
the
grant
programs
door-to-door
and
engage
with
the
constituents
and
in
the
community,
so
I
don't
think
we're
trying
to
take
the
community
out,
even
if
they're
centrally
located
those
bodies
can
still
physically
get
up
and
walk
away
from
a
desk
to
get
out
in
the
community
and
do
that
work.
So
it
does
not.
You
know,
change
the
intent
of
what
you
would
like
to
do
going
forward.
It's.
B
A
very
good
point:
okay,
I,
have
anyone
else:
okay,
I,
have
a
motion
on
I'm,
sorry
board.
Member
Carlson.
I
Yeah
I'll
vote
for
it,
but
just
and
maybe
there's
not
the
votes
for
in
a
minute,
but
I
would
just
ask
the
staff
to
look
at
having
some
kind
of
office
hours
renting
a
desk
from
the
chamber
in
Ybor
city
is
not
that
big
a
deal
if
they
have
it,
but
I
I
would
ask
that
there
would
be
some
place
that
that
people
people
know
that
they
could
meet
someone.
So
I
would
just
ask
you
to
look
at
that.
Thank
you.
G
B
I
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
all
in
favor
any
opposed.
Okay
motion,
nay,
okay,
I'm,
sorry,
so
it's
a
six
to
one
vote.
I
I
just
want
to
ask
kind
of
a
crazy
question
that
we
asked
I
asked
four
years
ago
that
this
the
CRA
outsources
staff
from
the
city,
IT
outsources
services
to
the
city
and
the
stated
benefits
of
that
are
that
we
get
access
to
Legal,
Services
and
and
and
purchasing
servers.
And
things
like
that.
But
the
question
is:
would
it
make
sense
for,
as
you
restructure
it,
to
take
some
of
the
employees,
especially
new
ones,
and
put
them
in
a
in
an
employee
leasing
situation
or
something
like
that?
I
An
employee
leasing
situation
I'm
not
asking
you
to
answer
that
today,
but
just
to
think
about
the
efficiencies
that
would
people
rather
work
for
the
city
or
the
CRA.
Would
they
do
they?
Would
they
like
the
city
benefits
or
whether
they
have
rather
have
more
flexible
benefits?
I,
don't
know
the
answer
to
it:
I'm
just
asking
the
question:
I
assume
that
some
cras
have
completely
separate
staff
that
report
directly
to
them.
G
H
I
believe
he's
I
believe
he's
asking
that
question,
because
if
you
look
in
actuality,
all
of
your
actual
staff
of
the
CRA
belong
to
the
city
and
the
answer
to
the
administration.
They
don't
answer
to
this
board.
Only
the
director
answers
to
the
board
and
that's
why
I
think
it's
been
a
conflict
a
little
bit
as
well,
because
you
know
I've
got
a
boss,
but
yeah
I
gotta
ask
him
what
administration
says
versus
no.
This
is
a
CRA
body
board,
so
I
think
that's.
Why
he's
asking
that
question?
G
G
K
Final
item
for
you
today
is
your
update
on
marketing
and
Communications.
We
have
our
marketing
and
Communications
coordinator
B
parks
with
us
today
and
I'll.
Just
say
that
you
know
this.
Is
it's
not
an
easy
job
to
take
on
or
to
jump
into,
I
think
that
the
communities,
because
of
what
you've
heard
about
the
silos,
have
varying
understandings
and
objectives
as
to
how
they
would
like
to
go
about
seeing
their
Community,
their
particular
cras,
represented
and
I.
K
U
P
U
Up
all
righty
good
morning,
Madam
chair
board
members.
Thank
you
for
having
me
here
today.
I
am
excited.
This
has
been
a
long
way
coming
and
I
am
proud
that
I
took
on
the
task
to
work
and
create
a
logo
to
represent
Tampa
community
redevelopment
agency
next
slide,
please
so
about
us.
Each
member
up
here
understands
the
community.
They
know
what
they
bring
to
that
Community,
along
with
what
that
Community
represents.
U
We
are
the
Tampa
community
redevelopment
agency.
We
pride
ourselves
with
working
closely
with
residents,
local
businesses,
Community
stakeholders
and
the
private
sector
to
be
a
leader
in
redeveloping
and
sustaining
all
communities
within
our
CRA
boundaries.
That's
that's
who
we
are
each
member
up.
There
has
had
these
conversations.
I've
listened
to
the
community,
and
this
is
who
Tampa
community
redevelopment
agency
is
next
side
please.
U
So
this
is
our
color
palette
for
our
logo.
I
did
a
lot
of
research
on
this
I
started
here
in
March,
and
we
are
now
here
in
February
and
now
we're
moving
forward
to
having
our
Tampa
logo.
This
kind
of
represents
some
colors
within
the
city
of
Tampa.
Just
looking
at
some
logos
out
there
with
different
organizations
within
our
boundaries
and
also
just
coming
up
with
a
palette
that
represents
us
next
slide,
please
this
is
our
typeface.
I
did
double
check
and
make
sure
that
this
is
ADA
Compliant.
U
So
once
all
the
Flyers
project
signs
I
hear
you
loud
and
clear.
Those
project
signs
are
going
out
and
that's
why
I'm
happy
that
we're
here
today
to
move
that
forward?
Our
I've
been
working
on
this
for
a
long
time,
so
this
is
ADA
Compliant
and
this
will
roll
into
you
know
any
marketing
materials
that
come
out
of
the
CRA.
U
Next,
please
so
the
process
it
has
been
a
process
when
I
first
started
here
in
March
I
took
on
the
task
to
just
design
a
couple
of
logos
pass
that
around
staff
we
communicated
amongst
each
other
staff
gave
great
feedback
about
those
logos.
Then
we
continue
to
say:
okay,
let's
look
at
other
avenues.
We
expose
explored
those
Avenues
at
that
time
with
an
outside.
You
know,
logo,
design,
company
that
came
up
with
a
couple
of
those
designs.
Then
we
brought
that
back
in-house
and
decided.
Okay,
listen!
U
Let's
go
ahead
and
have
these
conversations
which
each
of
the
board
members
thank
you
for
the
majority
of
you
that
responded
to
me
hounding
you
guys
your
age
to
to
sit
down
and
please,
let's
look
at
this
logo
and
make
sure
we
we
have
this
done
so
after
all
of
that
we
took
those
designs,
flushed
them
out
again,
amongst
you,
guys
came
back
with
some
great
feedback
and
then
we're
moving
forward
with
what
I'm
presenting
today.
So
that's
how
that
process
went
next
slide
please.
U
This
is
our
brand.
This
is
our
logo.
Tampa
CRA
is
our
primary
logo
me
personally
I
like
the
colors.
It
represents
as
well.
Our
social
media
logo
is
stackable.
I
went
to
actually
give
thanks
to
Jeremy
Rex
and
his
team
from
the
city
Side.
He
has
been
great
working
with
me
to
come
up
with
this
design,
along
with
getting
the
feedback
from
the
board
members
and
the
staff
to
make
sure
we're
clearly
represented.
So
that
is
what
we
did
here
next
slide,
please
so
the
different
logo
uses
in
the
community.
U
So
the
project
signs
that
are
in
development
right
now
will
have
our
Tampa
CRA
logo
underneath
will
be
strengthening
communities
because
that's
what
we
do.
We
are.
We
work
with
the
private
sector
with
the
public
sector
with
our
stakeholders,
our
businesses
and
we
strengthen
those
communities.
So
I
just
thought
that
was
a
perfect
logo
to
use
for
those
signs.
U
Again,
all
marketing
materials
come
in
black
and
white,
so
there
go
a
sample
of
that
along
with
our
news
release
and
our
press
releases
that
go
out.
If
anyone
attended
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
in
East
Tampa,
we
had
our
first
press
release
and
it
was
great
we
got
to
highlight
one
of
the
programs
within
the
East
Tampa
CRA
and
tomorrow
we
get
to
celebrate
another
recipient
of
one
of
our
programs
in
West
Tampa.
So
we
upon
you,
know
conversation
here.
We
will
use
this
headline
for
that
next
slide.
U
Please
pretty
much!
That's
our
logo,
my
logo,
presentation,
any
questions
about
the
logo
before
I
go
into
marketing
outline.
C
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
I
very
much
like
the
font.
It
gives
it
an.
G
C
And
it
pops
and
it's
not
something
that
won't
be
eye-catching-
that
people
just
look
over
they're
gonna
go!
What's
that
you
know
I've
never
seen
that
before,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
inviting
it's
it's
positive!
It's
a
lot!
It's
everything
that
the
CRA
should
be.
U
H
U
H
I
mean
that
that's
great,
you
have
a
I
thought
you,
you
also
would
have
some
type
of
logo
seal
that
you
have.
It
would
have
the
different
cras
under
that
under
in
that
seal
or
something
I
mean
I.
Just
think
when
you,
when
you
put
something
out
there,
you
know
you,
you
have
to
I
think
when
you
look
at
putting
on
a
big
board
yeah,
you
could
have
the
Tampa.
H
K
Up
Sir,
let
me
let
me
support
on
this,
and,
and
you
know
it's
still
we're
still
the
city
of
Tampa,
right
and
and
the
the
CRA
is
still
a
dependent
special.
You
know
District.
So
just
just
keep
that
in
mind,
so
we
are
while
promoting
what
the
CRA
represents
individually,
we're
also
still
reminding
that
still
City
of
Tampa
right.
So
we're
not
getting
too
far
away
from
that
by
creating
a
separate
seal.
R
Thank
you
very
much,
I
I
like
it,
whereas
each
individual
CAC
is
its
own
body
and
we
are
the
CRA.
Is
there
going
to
be
a
separate
type
of
logo
or
a
logo
name
underneath
each
for
each
individual
CRA?
So
this
this
Tampa
CRA
strengthen
Community
boom
is
underneath
of
it
going
to
be
okay.
K
And
I
don't
want
to
take
over
her
presentation,
but
that's
part
of
how
I
let
in
to
to
get
some
direction
from
you
today
to
figure
out
if
you
want
to
allow
those
additional
logos
to
stand
alone,
because
as
a
body
as
the
CRA
is,
is
a
representation
as
a
Tampa
CRA.
Your
cacs
continue
to
attempt
to
promote
or
separate
themselves
in
that
way,
and
so
I
think
that
if
we
want
to
have
a
strong
brand,
you
know
Coca-Cola
does
not
have
separate
logos
for
different
products.
K
R
And
if
I
may
Madam
chair,
please
and
thank
you
before
Mr
Massey
chimes
in
to
your
point:
you've
got
code
classic
you
got
Coke
Zero.
You
got
it's
still
all
under
the
brand.
My
point
is
that
campus
CRA
someone
sees
that.
Okay,
that's
the
city
of
Tampa,
but
if
someone
sees
Tampa
CRA
straight
to
the
community
and
then
the
individual
cras
have
something
underneath
then
that
person
in
that
Community
is
going
to
go.
Okay,
I'm
part
of
it.
Thank
you,
madam.
F
S
B
You
board
member
Miranda.
S
No
I,
you
know
I,
look
at
it
real
quickly
and
and
what
what
I
like
about
it
is
that
the
colors
are
not
offensive.
They
they
blend
in
with
a
welcoming
thing,
it's
not
like
my
old
political
signs
of
somebody's
political
signs
that
are
red
and
black
as
you
look
at
it.
You
want
attention
for
that.
For
that
moment,
I'm
telling
you
how
I
feel
and
then,
when
you
see
this,
it's
coming,
it's
it
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
wanting
to
I.
S
A
I
This
is
one
of
those
things
that
I
do
for
a
living,
so
I
have
a
hard
time
looking
at
it
without
thinking
of
the
bigger
processes,
but
one
thing
I
would
add
in
is
that
is
that
a
design
should
be
based
on
criteria,
and
especially
if
you
show
this
presentation
to
anybody
else,
there
needs
to
be
a
slide
that
talks
about
the
attributes
so
and
when
you
interviewed
us
there
I'm
sure
you
picked
up
certain
attributes
like
council,
member
or
sorry
board,
member
Miranda
mentioned
friendly
or
pleasing.
I
You
might
add
connection
to
history,
culture,
Innovation
and
it's
it
even
though
it's
alluding
to
the
past,
it
also
is,
is
kind
of
modern
in
its
look
and
feel
it
also
I.
Think
one
of
the
criteria
was
that
it
has
to
have
some
similarity
to
the
city,
even
though
it's
it
doesn't
use
the
seal,
and
so
you
use
the
same
colors
that
the
city
uses
so
that
if
people
see
them
together,
they
can
see
they're
in
the
same
family.
I
I
would
just
recommend
that
we
I
think
you
did
that
intuitively
and
the
design
team
did
intuitively,
but
I
think
it's
worth
mentioning
those
the
criteria
that
we're
training
and
not
just
for
logo,
but
for
the
brief
of
all
the
other
marketing
stuff,
we're
going
to
do
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
we've
had
a
lot
of
criticism
of
the
CRA
over
the
past
four
years,
partly
coming
from
us
partly
coming
from
the
community,
and
we
need
to
show
where
we're
going
for
the
future.
I
What
is
what
is
our
strategic
goal
for
communication
and
that
should
be
embedded
in
in
the
design,
but
also
connect
to
the
other
marketing
stuff?
The
second
thing
for
the
public
is
that
you
know
why
are
we
doing
this?
The
CRA
legally
is
a
separate
entity.
It
has
a
separate
bucket
of
money
53
or
whatever
a
million
dollars
a
year.
Here
we
have
a
responsibility
sitting
as
a
CRA
board
to
spend
that
money
wisely.
I
There's
been
a
lot
of
concern
from
different
communities
that
that
that
money
hasn't
been
spent
or
hasn't
been
spent
as
wisely
in
the
past
as
they
wanted,
and
so
we've
tried
to
really
focus
on
spending
the
money
wisely
and
with
Ms
Travis's
whole
recommendations.
You
see
that
we're
we're
aggressively
trying
to
make
sure
that
that
we
focus
on
getting
results
for
the
future,
and
so
the
idea
of
the
logo
is
is
not
so
we
can
promote
ourselves.
I
It's
so
that
the
public
can
see
that
we're
spending
the
money
because,
for
example,
we're
renovating
Tampa
Union
Station.
If
it
doesn't
say
CRA,
nobody
knows
who's
paying
for
it
and
and
if
the
community
drives
by
a
facade
and
sees
the
CRA
logo,
they
know
who
paid
for
it.
That
way,
they
can
feel
comfortable
that
their
money
is
being
spent
wisely
and
they
can
see
physically
somebody
mentioned
pictures.
Was
it
councilman
Miranda?
If
they
see
the
picture
they'll
know
the
CRA
is
spending
the
money.
So
that's.
Why
we're
doing
this?
I
And
because
you
didn't
house,
it
probably
didn't
cost
very
much
either.
The
next
thing
is
that,
yes,
the
city
has
a
symbol,
but
the
city
also
has
a
logo,
which
is
a
logo
type
that
script
and
that
stands
by
itself.
I
guess
sometimes
it
stands
with
the
symbol,
but
that's
the
logo
of
the
city.
I,
really
love
that
logo
I,
don't
know
who
designed
it
or
when.
But
it's
beautiful.
I
The
idea
here
is
that
we
have
what's
called
a
logo
type
I
think
it's
not
necessary
to
create
a
symbol
not
because
the
city
has
the
seal,
but
because,
typically
you
create
a
symbol
when
you're
trying
to
build
other
subunits
of
a
company,
and
you
need
to
have
a
symbol
like
you
might
use
the
the
same
typeface
and
colors
with
the
symbol
but
different
names,
and
so
the
symbol
helps
tie
it
in
visually
to
show
that
they're
all
part
of
the
same
organization.
I
But
we
don't
have
that
and
it's
a
whole
other
process
to
come
with
the
symbols
which
can
be
complicated
and
it's
hard
to
trademark
them.
I
think
we
should
trademark
this
too
by
the
way,
and
then
not
the
name,
but
the
the
look
and
then
you'd
be
surprised
with
who
tries
to
steal
trademarks.
This.
The
next
thing
is
that,
can
you
go
back
a
couple
slides
to
typeface
here's,
what
I
recommend
I
written
a
bunch
of
manuals
on
identity?
I
Usually
companies
have
a
secondary
typeface
and
the
secondary
typeface
is
the
one
that's
used
in
presentations
like
this.
What
I
would
recommend
is
if
this
is
the
typeface
that
you
use
for
the
for
the
logo.
Type
I
would
leave
that
aside.
I
First
of
all,
because
you
don't
want
people
to
go,
recreate
it
on
their
computers,
you
want
them
to
use
the
original
art
that
you
have,
but
second,
and
ideally
you
you
would
have
changed
the
kerning
or
whatever
to
make
sure
that
it
all
fits
together,
and
so
you
don't
want
somebody
to
mess
that
up.
The
second
thing,
though,
is
that
it'll
help
it
to
be
more
readable,
so
I
would
I
would
ask
Jeremy
or
somebody
try
to
find
a
compatible
secondary
typeface,
ADA
Compliant,
but
that
would
change
the
B
situation
too.
I
If
we
had
that
and
then
the
last
thing
is
what
I
think
board
member
citro
and
others
mentioned,
is
we
need
to
figure
out
the
sub
Brands
I?
Don't
think
that
I
don't
think
that
we
should
have
separate
logos.
I
know,
East
Tampa
already
has
its
logo,
we
shouldn't
have
separate
logos,
but
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
identify
it.
So
underneath
instead
of
the
tagline
you
might
put
Ybor
City
District
or
the.
U
I
U
Just
to
comment
really
quickly
on
what
you
said
for
member
Carlson,
we
do
have
alternative
fonts
and
we
also
have
that
in
in
design
our
logo
with
each
district
easthamp
has
its
own
logo.
Ybor
city
has
its
own
logo,
but
that
is
what
we
were
trying
to
do,
while
we
brand
us
uniformly
so.
I
I
In
a
way
is
a
is
a
mini
Graphics
manual,
so
what
I
would
do
is
I'd
have
a
next
page
out
to
this.
That
said,
secondary
typeface,
I
I
would
just
call
that
one
instead
of
primary
I
would
call
it
like
logo
type
type
phase,
or
something
like
that.
A
I
We're
not
asking
people
to
use
that,
and,
and
and
and
descriptions
of
things
like
Tampa
CR
Brand
guidelines
that
would
not
be
in
that
typeface.
It
would
be
in
the
secondary
typeface
and
then
and
then
click
down
a
couple
just
after
this
I
would
either
before
or
after
this
slide.
I
would
show
that
all
the
different
districts
with
that
type
to
show
how
it
will
be
used,
because
that
way,
some
marketing
person
in
the
future
can
see
how
we
use
it
and
they'll
see
what
the
what
the
standard
guidelines
are.
Thank
you
thank.
U
B
Could
you
go
back
a
few
slides
to
the
original
where
it
shows
the
social
there
you
go.
You
know
something
that
we
could
do.
I
mean
it
might
make
it
too
busy,
but
just
to
surround
the
social
media
logo
with
the
individual
cras,
okay
in
Black
same
typeface,
but
small
I.
C
C
B
Mean
just
it
wouldn't
really
be
readable
more
as
just
putting
them
making
sure
we
we
talk
about
them,
but
no
I
think
I
think
board
member
Carlson
hit
on
hit
on
many
many
different
things
that
are
that
are
necessary,
but
it's
beautiful.
The
colors
are
beautiful.
Thank.
U
B
And
as
as
others
have
said,
it
evokes
history,
yet
it's
fresh
and
new,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
you
and
and
I
know
all
the
people
who
helped
you
because
I
know
you've
been
working
on
this
for
a
long
time
and
just
congratulations.
Thank.
R
B
B
And
then
we
actually
have
a
a
motion
about
that.
Anyone
any
any
business.
R
Yes,
fine
babe,
please,
first
of
all
toward
that
motion,
the
West
Tampa
community
redevelopment
area
will
be
holding
a
celebration
for
Mr,
Barda,
G,
I,
hope,
I'm,
saying
that
correctly
he
is
a
local
artist
and
a
lifelong
resident
of
Tampa
and
they're
going
to
be
doing
a
residential,
exterior,
Improvement,
Grant
recipient
celebration.
No
tomorrow
February
10,
2023
10
a.m
and
the
location
is
2116.
West,
Cass
Street,
it's
right
here
in
Tampa,
Florida.
R
Now,
if,
if
I
may,
Madam,
chair
and
I,
will
try
not
to
take
five
minutes,
but
I
I
need
to
make
this
statement
with
the
failing
of
all
for
transportation
to
pass
and
what
Tallahassee
is
planning
on
doing
with
the
funds
that
has
been
received
and
trying
to
return
them.
R
R
If
you
remember
a
couple
months
ago,
I
made
a
motion
and
it
was
seconded
by
councilman
Carlson
that
the
CRA
board,
the
CRS
staff,
explore
the
prior
plans
to
extend
Tampa
streetcar
to
Palm
Avenue,
using
CRA
funds
from
Ebor
Channelside
downtown
at
Tampa
Heights
CRA
districts.
R
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
lady
and
gentleman
of
the
board,
there's
already
been
plans
made
by
the
downtown
partnership
and
thank
you,
miss
Karen
crest,
for
parking
minimums
within
that
areas
of
Tampa,
Street,
Palm
and
Florida
Avenue,
affordable
housing.
R
After
having
conversations
with
Miss
Beth
Alden
of
top
Transportation
Planning
organization,
TPM
TPO
excuse
me
dyslexia
at
its
finest
Mr
Vic
bday
our
mobility
department
and
Miss
LaGrange
from
heart
to
see.
If
we
can
afford
CRA
funds
in
the
tune
of
16
million
dollars
toward
premium
Transit
Urban
circulator,
that
will
run
in
dedicated
Lanes
between
Fort
Brook
garage
and
the
Tampa
Heights
using
the
same
roads.
That
I
had
asked
for
the
extension
of
the
streetcar
Tampa
Florida
Palm
Avenue
they
are
Urban.
R
Circulator
will
provide
seamless
connectivity
between
Tampa,
Heights
and
Downtown
Car
core
excuse
me,
the
Channelside
district
and
Ybor
City.
In
conjunction
with
the
existing
Tico
Street
line,
the
circular
circulator
will
enable
aggressive
off-parking
facilities,
especially
the
housing
that
is
being
built
with
the
parking
minimums
lowered
in
the
four
neighborhoods.
R
Given
the
current
streetcar
ridership
of
over
1
million
per
year,
which
is
second
in
the
nation,
the
equality
of
the
circulator
will
connect
under
deserved
community
community
separated
by
I-275
and
I'm,
asking
this
board
to
please.
Second,
my
motion
for
the
CRA
staff
to
come
back
and
to
discuss
funding
that
would
help
in
this
circulator
and
will
help
people
that
need
Transportation
within
the
downtown
core.
B
I
Yeah
I
think
it's
a
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
start
with
I
think
you're
talking
about
wield
some
kind
of
like
bus
wheel
service,
because
the
test,
the
the
argument
against
rail
is
that
you
build
something
hoping
that
people
ride
it
and
then
they
don't
always
ride
it.
But
if
you
start
with
something
that's
flexible
first,
then
you
prove
you
can
prove
the
case.
If
people
are
willing
to
ride
it,
then
you
build
up
the
ridership
and
then
and
then
you
can
make
a
case
for
something
else
later
on.
F
R
Cra
staff
could
come
back
and
say:
hey,
we
will,
we
will
lower
it
by
doing
existing
things.
Apparently,
heart
does
not
want
to
get
the
designated
areas
doesn't
want
to
spend
the
funding
and
that's
more
or
less
what
this
will
be
for
the
designated
Lane
going
up
the
the
streets
that
we
have
Tampa
palm
and
Florida
Avenue
and.
F
We'll
certainly
come
back
and
look
at
I
mean
we
have
to
look
at
the
existing
plans.
The
plans
are
being
updated
now,
so
this
may
be
important
to
incorporate
in
an
update
to
the
downtown
plan.
Typically,
what
CRA
dollars
should
be
spent
on
are
more
Capital
type
of
items,
they're
not
operating
type
of
items.
So
we'll
have
to
look
at
that
as
well,
but
we'll
be
glad
to
look.
R
At
this-
and
that's
that
was
that
that
was
the
idea
that
I
had
spoken
about
previously.
This
all
has
to
go
through
the
plans.
The
Strategic
action
plans,
these
various
cras,
but
to
councilman
Carlson's
Point.
Yes,
that's
the
greatest
idea
is
that
we
come
up
with
this.
This
ridership
prove
that
it's
being
necessary
is
being
needed
and
then
come
back
and
talk
about
access
to
the
streetcar.
S
I'm,
not
an
expert
in
transportation,
but
I
can
tell
you
one
thing:
I
was
here
with
the
city:
had
their
own
buses,
City
Tampa
Transit
they
had
the
on
Cleveland
Street
was
the
bus
depot
where
they
take
the
buses
in
the
night,
get
their
cars
the
doors
and
go
home.
It
was
also
the
maintenance
shed
there
and
everything
else.
D
S
I,
never
forget
the
words
after
that.
He
said
you're
going
to
have
to
pay
the
bus
to
go
from
here
to
Wimauma
to
drop
one
passenger
off
and
they
did
and
then
it
stayed
on
and
what
happened
and
again
I'm,
not
an
expert
on
Transit
Transit
depends
on
something
coming
at
a
certain
hour
at
a
certain
time
on
a
daily
basis.
S
Often
the
word
often
is
the
one
that
I
look
at
so
when
I
look
at
often
and
then
another
thing
and
I'm
going
to
relate
this
to
the
restaurant
business,
no
matter
how
good
the
food
takes.
If
you
go
to
a
restaurant
once
or
twice,
and
it's
a
300C
restaurants
there's
only
20
or
30
people
eating
you
do
not
go
back.
S
A
busted
that
we
run
in
the
city
of
Tampa
are
not
full
they're,
half
full
and
the
people
that
are
on
the
outside.
Looking
at
the
buses
say,
why
should
I
spend
my
money
on
buses
because
they
don't
mind
is
running
them,
which
is
not
the
truth,
the
facts,
but
if
they
had
more
smaller
buses,
20
25
passengers,
not
the
big
monsters
that
they
have.
S
H
H
H
But
for
me,
this
type
of
money-
and
this
is
Miranda's
right-
we
need
to
be
in
the
housing
business
I'm.
Sorry
that
kind
of
made
me
be
in
the
housing
business.
We
need
to
find
land,
we
need
to
build
and
we
control
some
housing
versus
Tha.
You
know
10
miles.
Authority
do
a
great
job.
We
need
to
be
in
the
housing
business
because
people
are
depending
on
the
city
say
what
is
the
city
doing
if
we
have
to
have
us,
have
somebody
manage
it
or
whatever?
H
But
to
me
those
kind
of
dollars
need
to
be
somehow
working
with
some
developers.
Building
some
housing
units
to
put
people
in
housing
somewhere,
but
I
I
was
supported
today,
just
to
see
what
it
would
be
like,
but
I
don't
know
in
the
future.
But
my
my
focus
right
now.
That's
all
I
hear
the
number
one
topic:
if
you're
going
to
these
debates,
who
are
showing
up
people
and
care
about
they
talk
about
Transit,
but
that's
like
number
two
or
two
and
a
half
number
three
on
the
list.
Right
now.
I
I
I
think
my
colleague
threw
out
a
number,
but
we
have
no
idea
what
it's
going
to
cost
probably
will
be
a
lot
less
than
that.
The
other
thing
is
that
for
all
the
people
who
are
upset
about
potholes,
especially
in
South
Tampa
because
of
the
CRA
money,
we
can't
transfer
it
to
South
Tampa
to
do
that.
The
other
thing,
though,
is
that
we've
seen
ridership
on
the
on
the
streetcar
increased
dramatically.
I
I,
don't
know
the
numbers
like
my
colleagues
here,
but
in
the
past
we
we
funded
these
other
services
in
downtown,
which
I
was
not
in
favor
of.
If
we're.
If
we're
trying
to
see
if,
like
proof
of
concept
is,
is
expanding,
the
streetcar,
feasible
or
not.
This
is
a
much
better
option
than
spending
the
money
to
go
ahead
and
build
something
that's
really
expensive
when
when,
instead,
we
can
test
it
with
with
wheeled
vehicles,
and
it
won't
be
the
same
ridership
as
As
A
Streetcar
might
be
eventually,
but
at
least
we
can
test
it.
I
The
last
thing
is
that
transportation
is
always
acts
as
a
public.
Transportation
is
necessary
for
Transit
oriented
development
and
density,
which
enables
us
to
build,
affordable
housing,
and
so
they
go
together
and
as
as
this
goes
up,
and
we
make
a
commitment
to
a
route,
at
least
with
wheeled
Vehicles,
then
it
will
give
the
investment
Community
some
comfort,
that
that
this
might
stay
and
if
that
happens,
they'll
build
density
along
it,
which
should
include
affordable
housing,
and
that
will
add
to
the
tax
rolls
of
the
city
to
help
pay
for
this
and
other
things.
I
R
R
We
can
remember
I
championed
a
10
million
dollar
purchase
of
the
old
army
navy
store
designated
for
affordable
housing.
This
will
run
right
by
it.
So
I'm
saying
what
what
I'm
saying
is
that
put
this
in
place?
Mr
councilman
Carlson
is
saying
density
come
affordable
housing.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Okay,.
B
And
I'm
just
gonna
say
that
board
member
Carlson
hit
him.
What
I
was
going
to
say
is
that
Transit
and
affordable
housing
go
together,
because
if
we're
building
more
housing,
we're
going
to
have
more
cars
and
people
are
going
to
complain
about
traffic
and
the
only
way
to
alleviate
that
will
be
to
have
some
type
of
transportation.
And
it's
hard
to
see
now.
B
But
it's
coming
so
I
have
a
motion
by
board
member
citro,
second,
by
board
member
Carlson
to
just
ask
staff
to
come
back
and
talk
about
it,
so
March
9th,
all
in
favor
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,.
R
S
C
This
might
be
before
many
many
of
our
time
here,
but
Bert
Bacharach
passed
away.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
City
business,
but
one
of
the
great
songwriters
of
the
20th
century.
C
You
don't
know
what
songs
I'm
coming
through
I'm
coming
back
to
this
yeah,
nothing
just
okay,.
A
C
R
I
I'm
not
going
to
make
a
motion,
but
I
just
want
to
alert
all
of
you,
and
we
can
talk
about
this
tonight
if
you
want,
but
there's
a
another
push
pull
out.
That
is
incredibly
disparaging
of
City
Council
in
general,
it
asked
some
specific
names
about
specific
people,
but
it's
it's
really
disappointing.
Whoever
is
doing
it
that
it's
that
they
they
so
easily
despaired
city,
council
and
I,
encourage
all
of
you
look
at
it.
I
If
you
haven't
seen
it
or
don't
see
it
I'm
happy
to
read
some
of
them
tonight,
but
I
think
we
ought
to.
We
ought
to
try
to
play
fair
in
this
community
and
talk
about
issues
instead
of
instead
of
personal
attacks,
like
that.
Thank
you.
