Mr
chairman,
this
is
the
first
reading
public
hearing
for
the
city
of
tampa
physical
year
2022
budget.
The
proposed
military
rate
is
6.2076
mills
which
is
4.56
more
than
the
rollback
millage
rate
of
5.9367
mills.
Property
tax
funds
are
used
to
support
the
general
fund
operating
budget
of
the
city.
F
A
J
A
G
G
G
And
here
is
the
fiscal
year
22
recommended
budget
1.8
billion
an
increase
of
31
compared
to
the
current
year
and
as
we've
discussed
council,
that
increase
is
primarily
associated
with
some
primary
items:
expansion
of
our
wastewater
water
and
solid
waste
capital
improvement
programs,
especially
that
pipes
program,
the
american
rescue
plan
or
arpa
funding
transportation
grants,
especially
that
25
million
build
grant
storm
water
and
facilities
projects
negotiated
labor
contracts
and
additional
staffing
for
fire
services,
planning
and
construction
contract
administration
we've.
Also.
We
also
have
increased
funding
for
parks
and
recreation.
G
G
G
It
includes
public
safety
parks
and
recreation,
economic
development
and
support
operations
and
on
the
right,
the
enterprise
funds
at
just
under
or
just
over
735
million
dollars.
And,
of
course,
you
see
there.
The
water,
waste,
water
and
solid
waste
departments
making
up
the
primary
funding
for
that
overall
enterprise
fund
again,
the
enterprise
funds
are
those
self-supporting
departments
that
are
anticipated
to
run
like
a
business.
G
Next
slide,
please-
and
here
we
show
the
impact
of
the
transfer
to
the
community
redevelopment
agencies
or
the
cras
on
property
tax
revenues,
and
we
show
how
the
costs
of
the
police
and
fire
by
themselves
are
well
over
half
of
the
general
fund
and
far
more
as
you
can
see,
than
we
receive
in
property
tax
revenue
next
slide.
Please
earning
our
attention
to
the
general
fund
balance
history,
as
we've
discussed
on
many
occasions.
This
is
a
very
important
metric
of
our
financial
health.
G
Our
ability
to
handle
future
economic
risk
and
thus
a
critical
benchmark
for
rating
agencies
council,
will
recall.
Last
year
we
restructured
debt
and
deferred
some
expenditures
to
bolster
the
percentage
of
general
fund,
and
you
see
that
here
fiscal
year,
20
and
fiscal
year,
21
were
unusually
high
percentages
compared
to
the
history
fiscal
year.
22
sees
us
back
to
a
more
historical
percentage,
as
you
can
see
here
at
24.
G
And
a
summary
of
our
capital
improvement
program,
2.2
billion
dollars
over
a
five-year
period.
You
can
see
an
incredible
amount
of
emphasis
on
the
wastewater,
water
and
facilities
management
areas.
You'll
also
see
the
neighborhood
foundations
program
in
the
infrastructure
and
mobility
administration
line
of
14
million
dollars.
That
includes
the
east,
tampa
forest
hills,
mcfarland
park
and
virginia
park
areas
next
slide.
Please,
council,
just
a
quick
refresh
on
the
significant
funding
we've
allocated
in
the
recommended
budget
next
year
for
vehicle
programs.
G
G
I
went
through
our
debt
program
now
you
can
see
for
2021
the
debt
issuances
that
you
have
authorized
and
that
we
anticipate
putting
before
you
in
the
very
near
future,
of
course,
under
the
authorization.
The
convention
center
at
over
32
million
dollars,
storm
water
at
nearly
35
million
dollars,
and
the
line
of
credit
extension
recently
approved
for
25
million
coming
forward.
We'll
do
the
next
contingent
of
the
water
and
wastewater
program
and
a
general
fund
bond.
G
G
G
G
G
This
is
our
principal
outstanding
debt
service.
You
see
it
as
anticipated
at
the
end
of
this
year.
The
green
line
shows
the
outstanding
debt
for
the
water
and
wastewater
departments.
Those
are
the
only
enterprise
departments.
We
have
outstanding
debt
service
at
this
time.
The
blue
line
is
our
government
outstanding
debt
and
that's
associated
with
storm
water,
community
investment
taxes,
the
aquarium
parking,
the
convention
center
mobility
and
facilities
improvements.
A
Thank
you,
sir.
It's
now
we're
here
update
from
the
citizens
budget
advisory
committee.
Miss
us,
I
think
after
we
I
think
after
we
questions
are
asked
after
the
budget
advisor
district
was
the
default.
It's
all
scripted,
sorry
about
that.
With
mrs
pointer
citizen
advisory
committee
report.
A
A
B
K
Good
evening,
gentlemen,
my
name
is
stephanie
poynter.
I
am
here
representing
the
citizen
budget
committee.
Our
chairman,
mr
johnson,
is
traveling
this
afternoon.
We
wanted
to
share
some
information
with
you
before
you
make
any
more
decisions.
This
evening.
This
morning
our
committee
met
with
the
revenue
and
finance
department
representative.
K
K
Detailed
information
was
shared
with
the
committee
to
give
transparency
to
the
funding
in
question.
However,
we
will
we
will
be
working
closely
with
administration
to
ensure
that
other
services
and
charges
is
properly
outlined
in
the
budget,
with
an
actual
breakdown
for
each
item
going
forward
for
the
next
budget
and
beyond.
We
request
a
re-presentation.
K
A
Thank
you
for
your
service
to
the
committee.
I
know
it's.
A
very
important
committee
and
they've
been
doing
an
outstanding
job,
getting
answers
for
the
public
and
also
working
with
the
administration
to
make
us
more
efficient
and
better
and
mr
hiro's
been
doing
an
outstanding
job
throughout
the
years,
making
sure
that
we're
financially
responsible
and
we're
spending
people's
moneys
correctly.
So
we
thank
you
for
that.
We'll
get
into
questions
for
council
members
I'll
go
one
at
a
time,
I'll
start
out
with
mr
vieira.
I
know
mr
van
gaal
has
some
questions.
A
M
M
Dennis
thanks
for
your
presentation,
I
just
had
a
specific
question.
I
think
it
was
your
last
slide
with
the
with
the
two
different
lines
for
principal
debt
service.
M
I
don't
know
if
we
can
put
that
slide
back
up.
Whoever
is
controlling
that.
M
There
you
go
so
in
regard
to
the
governmental,
the
blue
line,
starting
out
this
year,
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
400
and
go
and
going
down.
Does
that
include
the
the
anticipated
bond
that
you
just
spoke
to
on
the
slide
before
that
spoke
to
hannah
et
cetera,
et
cetera?
Please
fire
hannah,
though
you
know
that
that
bomb.
M
M
Okay,
so
so
as
long
as
you
mentioned
it,
I
mean
how
how
large,
how
large
do
we
anticipate
that
that
bond
is
going
to
be
just
so,
we
have
a
better
sense
of
what
that
blue
line
is
really
going
to
be,
and
how
long
a
term
would
we
would.
We
expect
that
the
debt
service
will
be
with
us.
G
Yes,
sir
preliminarily,
we
think
the
water
and
wastewater
the
second
component
of
that
pipes.
Debt
will
be
a
190
million
dollars
and
the
general
government
bond
issue
again.
This
is
preliminary.
We
think
about
150
million
dollars.
M
Okay
and
and
how
long
on
the
on
the
governmental
side,
how
long
a
period
a
term.
M
All
right
and
then
and
then
finally,
you
and
I
have
been
talking
offline,
a
little
bit
about
the
other
enterprise
fund,
which
is
solid
waste,
and
so
that
that
that,
on
a
revised
chart,
that
would
also
change
the
green
line
as
well
correct,
correct,
okay,
all
right,
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all
news.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
I
had
a
quick
question.
I
wanted
just
to
say
some
just
observations.
Mr
rajero,
for
the
you
mentioned
fire
station
24
just
for
the
for
the
public's
information.
Where
is
that
going
to
be
at.
G
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
that
we
know
yet
is,
does
anybody
have
a
location.
J
Yeah,
jonathan
and
chief
of
staff,
it's
my
understanding,
councilman
vera,
that
fire
station
24
was
being
examined
for
the
new
tampa
area
based
on
growth,
but
we
are
still
awaiting
the
final
consultant
data
beyond
our
own
in-house
data,
of
where
the
highest
level
of
service
needs
are
so
24
may
actually
be
down
south
of
fowler,
pending
of
finding
an
exact
location
in
new
tampa
based
on
property
and
other
opportunities,
but
either
way
24
originally
was
scoped
out
for
new
tampa
and
we're
not
backing
off
that
analysis
of
design.
L
And-
and
thank
you
for
that,
and
does
that
include
as
well
an
analysis
of-
and
we
can
talk
about
this
a
couple
weeks
in
our
k-bar
ranch
discussion,
but
of
potentially
having
a
cut
through
through
morris
bridge
road
into
k
bar
ranch.
Does
that
include
that
as
well.
J
It
does
the
preliminary
preliminary
number
is
27
positions
and-
and
that's
where
the
station
24
discussion
comes
in
because
as
of
now,
there
is
a
sort
of
a
number
usage
of
24
that
is
augmenting.
The
heavy
call
load
in
the
north
end
and
that's
not
to
be
confused
with
the
need
of
a
physical
station,
possibly
in
the
new
tampa
area.
J
So
no,
we
don't
want
the
public
to
be
confused
by
the
numbers,
it's
all
about
service
delivery,
and
so
it
does
include
making
sure
that
we
have
approximately
just
shy
of
20
new
units
in
the
north
end
and
then
additional
units
downtown.
Where
we're
starting
to
see
the
heaviness
call
those
for
medical
response.
L
Great,
thank
you,
sir,
and
I
I
think
that's
really
important
to
note,
because
you
know
we've
been
advocating
for
additional
funding
for
tampa
fire
rescue
in
these
areas
where
you
have
such
acute
deficits,
and
I
and
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
and
correct
me
from
wrong
folks
that
we
could
have
in
this
new
budget
up
to
two
additional
fire
stations,
which
is
a
new
tampa
north
tampa,
then
we're
making
plans
for
something
additional
in
downtown,
so
in
other
words,
this
budget
lays
the
foundation
for
once
in
a
lifetime
investments
in
in
public
safety
and
and
what-
and
I
think
that's
just
so
very
critical
one
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention,
because
I
I
always
like
to
give
credit
where
credit
to
do.
L
I
was
looking
at
this
80
to
about
80
million
dollars
in
federal
funds
into
the
american
relief
program
that
we
got.
That's
it
just
just
for
the
public
knowledge,
that's
80
million
dollars
that
the
city
of
tampa
is
getting
from
this
federal
program.
The
past
relief
act
that
we
saw
previously,
which
was
remarkable
and
great.
The
cares
act
had
a
lot
of
restrictions
on
what
local
governments
and
municipalities
could
do.
L
And
I
wanted
just
to
give
a
public
shout
out
to
our
congresswoman
kathy
caster,
who
did
so
much
to
fight
for
these
funds.
Because
again,
these
funds
were
put
forth
in
such
a
way
that
it
gives
the
city
of
tampa
a
great
deal
of
liberality
and
we
are
using
it
for
a
lot
of
these
things,
because
without
these
funds
we
would
be
having
a
radically
radically
different
conversation.
So
I
always
like
to
also
give
credit
where
credit's
due.
But
you
know
when
I
take
a
look
at
this
budget.
L
Mr
chairman,
I
I
see
a
budget
that
is
good
for
all
parts
of
our
city,
it's
one
that
is
done
through
collaboration.
I
know
that
we've
all
met
with
the
mayor
on
things
that
we
want
in
there
the
mayor
has,
and
mr
o'hara,
mr
bennett
have
just
been
so
collaborative
in
terms
of
working
with
city
council.
On
that
there's
a
lot
of
different
things
in
this
budget
outstanding.
It's
an
affordable,
housing
budget.
L
L
If
you
talk
to
folks
in
public
safety,
especially
tampa
fire
their
their
their,
you
know
their
jaws
are
what
dropped
to
the
ground
so
to
speak
when
they
saw
this
budget
because
it
makes
such
robust
improvements
within
tampa
fire
rescue
and
parks.
You
see
improvements
in
east
tampa
new
tampa
in
north
tampa.
I
hope
that
our
good
friend,
guido
maniscalco,
can
can
get
his
his
a
wonderful
wishes
there
for
our
good
friends
at
vela
brothers.
L
So
this
is
a
very
good
budget
and
and
what
not,
as
far
as
I
see
it,
but
just
wanted
to
make
those
comments.
Thank
you,
sir.
C
Thank
you
very
much
and
councilman
vieira
really
said
said
it
all,
but
just
just
a
couple
of
things
he
mentioned
road
resurfacing
and
that's
one
of
the
biggest
complaints
we
get
is.
When
are
we
going
to
pave
certain
roads
throughout
the
city
of
tampa?
As
I
mentioned
in
a
previous
meeting,
I've
reached
out
to
county
commissioners,
they
have
earmarked
35
million
dollars
from
their
funds
to
go
towards
rotary,
paving
and
improvements.
C
As
we
know
so,
many
county
roads
go
through
the
city
city
of
tampa
and
ice.
I
have
started
to
see
at
least
on
one
road,
the
orange
barricades
going
up,
which
tells
me
that
road
improvements
are.
C
J
And
again,
john
bennett,
chief
of
staff,
I
do
want
to
say,
council,
maniscalco
and
all
the
councilmen
who
have
supported
this,
not
only
historic
park,
but
the
symbolic
nature
of
this
park
and
what
it
does
for
our
community.
I've
had
multiple
on
the
ground
visits
with
some
of
the
neighborhood
leadership,
including
sandy
sanchez.
J
I've
looked
at
the
improvement.
Blueprints
I'll
see
a
win.
I
won't
speak
for
her
and
shereesha
hills,
our
director
over
parks
and
recreation.
Everybody
is
very
interested
in
leaning
forward
and
supporting
this,
and
it's
not
rhetoric.
We.
We
know
that
we're
going
to
find
the
availability
to
do
those
improvements
to
that
park
for
all
the
reasons
that
we
know,
but
I
also
want
to
remind
all
of
us
that
you
know
a
couple
years
ago
we
set
out
to
do
a
master
plan.
J
But
in
between
that
master
plan,
we
know
there's
some
real
requests
out
there,
and
we
also
know
that
the
city
working
with
council
and
the
community
had
some
significant
ious
that
also
sit
between
current
state
and
the
master
plan
and
all
of
those
are
being
filled
into
the
best
ability
that
we
can,
with
both
traditional
finance
and
funding
opportunities,
as
well
as
some
of
those
out
of
the
box
and
I'm
very
confident,
as
mr
harrow
mentioned,
and
you
councilman
ministalco.
J
After
talking
to
the
mayor
that
these
things
will
be
be
fulfilled
awaiting
the
final
master
plan
and
all
of
those
recommendations
that
come
forth
through
the
community
channels.
C
Thank
you
very
much
now
vela
brothers.
They
did
the
design
several
years
ago
at
about
2
million
dollars
and
I
believe,
we've
allocated
since
then
350
to
400
000
dollars
in
park
improvements.
We've
done
the
restrooms
we've
moved
the
monuments,
we've
done
some
playground,
sunshade
stuff,
but
there's
still
about
1.6
million
dollars
left
over
to
complete
the
park.
What
I
had
mentioned
previously
was
that
time
is
of
the
essence.
C
This
park
was
dedicated
in
2005,
16
years
have
passed
and
five
of
the
villa
brothers,
all
seven
were
present
at
the
time
of
groundbreaking
and
dedication,
but
five
of
the
seven
villa
brothers
have
passed
away.
I've
met
with
one
of
the
remaining
villa
brothers.
Most
recently
I
I
speak
regularly
with
mrs
miss.
G
C
C
Again,
five
of
the
seven
villa
brothers
have
passed
and
since
the
park's
dedication
in
2005,
the
city
has
had
its
up
and
downs
with
the
you
know,
with
the
financial
crisis
from
years
ago
and
whatnot.
But
having
said
that,
since
then,
we've
done
kurdistan
waterfront
park
it's
been
completed.
C
We
did
julian
b
lane
park
at
35,
36
million
dollars
plus
and
villa
brothers,
with
everything
that
has
gone
on
around
it
with
the
jewish
community
center,
which
the
city
partners,
with
with
everything
in
that
neighborhood
villa
brothers
park,
has
only
received
just
a
portion.
You
know
less
than
25
percent
of
the
total
funds
and
seeing
that
we
have
the
american
relief
american
recovery
funds
that
are
very
liberal
in
what
we
can
spend
the
money
on.
C
C
C
There's
also
another
park
henry
and
ola
park
in
seminole
heights,
which
has
a
trailer
as
a
community
center,
and
I
believe
it's
the
only
park
in
the
city
of
tampa
one
of
the
only
ones
where
there's
a
trailer,
and
we
don't
own
that
trailer.
I
believe
we
pay
rent
on
that
trailer
and
we've
been
paying
rent,
for.
C
I
want
to
say
almost
20
years
on
that
that
neighborhood
has
changed
significantly
in
the
last
20
years.
In
the
last
10
years,
we
have
a
lot
of
families.
We
have
a
lot
of
children,
I'd
like
us
to
see
about
allocating
funds
for
henry
nola
park
for
improvements
for
a
dog
park
for
a
community
center,
whatever
it
is,
but
that
neighborhood
deserves
it.
All
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
tampa
deserve
equity
across
the
board
and
parks
are
so
significant.
C
The
the
investment
will
give
us
endless
returns
to
quality
of
life,
so
I'll
stop
there.
Thank
you.
J
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
counseling,
maniscalco's
requests
and
that
we
are
working
on
those
and
we
we
are
committed
to
making
sure
that
staff
understands
the
exigency
that
he
represented.
N
N
We've
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
writing
wrongs
from
before,
and
I
think
if
promises
are
made
by
the
city,
even
if
it
was
under
previous
administration,
we
need
to
follow
through
with
them,
and
it's
not
fair
or
right
to
have
a
press
conference
to
promise
the
community
that
were
that
the
city
was
going
to
do
something
and
then
not
follow
through,
especially
when
you're
dealing
with
veterans,
war,
heroes
and
the
family
of
veterans
and
war
heroes.
N
Second,
just
just
to
clarify
mr
o'hara
for
the
public,
I'm
looking
at
the
kind
of
p
l's
of
each
of
the
departments
and
the
water
department,
it
said
2019
had
a
loss
of
23
000
and
then
a
and
then
a
gain
of
180
million
2020
and
then
projected
loss
in
2021
of
137
million
and
then
a
a
237
000
gain
in
2022..
N
Are
we
predicting
because
of
the
the
new
taxes?
Are
we
predicting
that
or
new
fees?
Are
we
predicting
that
the
that
that's
going
to
staple
out
at
this
point,
or
are
there
just
big
chunks
of
expenses
that
are
coming
periodically.
G
N
N
G
N
You,
if
you,
if
you
bond
out
a
billion
dollars
and
it
would
you,
would
you
amortize
that
cost
over
over
the
life
of
the
bond
or
would
you
you
charge
it
back
in
the
year
that
the
actual
expenses
made.
G
N
N
I
don't
know
if
that's
reflected
here,
maybe
it's
farther
out
than
2022,
but
we're
showing
losses
around
27
million,
26
million,
20,
20
and
2021,
and
then
30,
almost
39
million
20
20
projected
2021
and
then
31
32
million
in
2022
is
that
is
that
including
the
the
big
enterprise
customer
service
system
or
not.
G
N
And
is
there
any
way
it
just
that's
not
off,
none
of
that
is
offset
very
much
by
fees
or
exp
income.
Is
there?
Is
there
some
revenue
model?
That's
offsetting
that
or
no
is
there
something?
No
sir.
N
I
wanted
to
thank
you
all
for
listening
to
all
of
us
and
all
of
our
requests.
One
of
the
things
that
I've
requested
now
three
times
in
a
row
is
to
is
to
carefully
monitor
the
general
fund,
balance
and
increase
it.
You
know
if
the
if
the
bonding
agencies
to
keep
our
aaa
bond
rating
requires
to
have
a
certain
percentage,
then
that
means
that
anything
from
that
level
below
is
not
a
rainy
day
fund.
N
Only
anything
above
that
is
a
rainy
day
fund
and
I
know,
there's
a
certain
trade-off
because
we
can't
hold
too
much
cash
but
knowing
the
uncertainties
in
the
market.
I
would
always
appreciate
that
we
would
try
to
be
fiscally
prudent
and
put
as
much
as
possible
away
to
preserve
that.
So
thank
you
all
for
focusing
on
that,
an
area
that
that
I
did
not
ask
this
year,
but
but
maybe
next
year
is
the
arts,
arts
and
culture.
The
budget
is
very
small
when
we
all
started.
I
know
this
is
an
area.
N
The
mayor
is
very
interested
in
and
other
than
hitting
covet.
I
think
she
would
have
invested
heavily
in
it,
but
I
hope
that
we
can
get
back
as
the
economy
starts,
to
recover
to
invest
more
heavily
in
the
arts,
and
then
I
also
looked
at
the
infographics
that
are
that
are
in
each
department
that
go
with
that
and
that
I'm
sure
chief
bennett
worked
on.
But
one
of
them
shows
the
distribution
of
the
arts.
Investment
throughout
the
city
and
almost
all
of
it
is
downtown
like
98
or
99.
N
And
so
you
know
we
have
requests
for
the
arts
everywhere
from
east
tampa
west
tampa,
north
and
south
and,
for
example,
lots
of
people
south
of
gandhi,
want
the
arts
in
their
community
too.
So
that's
something
for
next
year,
but
just
to
just
to
be
mindful
the
last
thing,
and
I
could
ask
a
lot
of
questions
on
the
budget
in
general.
But
the
last
thing
is
in
the
intro,
which
is
a
letter
from
the
mayor,
and
I
guess
I
could
make
a
motion
for
us
to
request.
N
The
mayor
would
edit
the
letter,
but
maybe
I
could
just
tell
you
that
you
all.
This
is
an
idea
in
the
in
the
letter.
I
think
the
letter
is
very
good
and
the
letter
represents,
if
you
look
at
all
the
headings
that
are
in
the
letter:
workforce,
housing,
affordability,
infrastructure,
mobility.
You
know
our
constituents
want
parks
fixed,
they
want
roads
resurfaced,
they
want
potholes,
fixed
sustainability,
resilience.
N
I
think
city,
council
and
the
mayor
are
are
on
the
same
page
and
all
these
things
the
same
things
that
are
the
mayor's
priorities
are
also
council's
priorities
that
we're
hearing
from
the
community.
The
the
one
thing
that
I
saw
in
this
summary
that
that
looks
different,
though,
is
if
you
look
just
above
strengthening
community
centric
services.
N
It
says
the
paragraph
bus
says,
while
providing
funding
for
all
central
government
services,
we've
also
been
able
to
to
include
funds
to
start
addressing
several
key
requests
from
community
and
city
council
and
number
one.
There
is
the
hannah
avenue
facility
and
I'm
not
aware
that
that
request
came
from
the
community,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
it
did
not
come
from
city
council
and
also
number
four
is
anyway
of
the
things
there.
N
The
way
it's
written,
it
looks
like
city
council
is
only
interested
in
those
four
things
and-
and
I
think
we're
interested
in
all
of
them,
so
just
a
request
to
whoever
wrote
that
if
we
could
just
move
that
phrase
to
the
top,
that
would
be
clear
to
the
community
and
share
that
we're
all.
On
the
same
page.
J
Chairman
councilman
carlson,
I
just
want
a
point
that
is
not
visible
yet,
but
something
that
marley
wilkstoff
has
works
on.
Very
well
is
our
citizens
value
survey,
our
citizen
sentiment
survey
and
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
she
added
a
sentiment
element
of
arts
and
cultural,
so
that
will
get
a
citywide
feedback
for
us
going
into
future
investments
in
decision
support.
So
I
just
want
to
let
you
know.
That's
been
added
to
that
survey
list.
N
Yeah
and
and
what
I
would
encourage
us
to
do
is
in
in
surveys.
We
need
to
think
not
about
the
arts
as
an
amenity,
but
we
need
to
think
of
it
as
an
industry,
and
so
every
edc
in
the
world
has
five
or
six
cluster
industry
clusters
they
focus
on
in
st
petersburg.
N
One
of
the
five
is
the
arts,
and
that's
because
it's
a
real,
thriving
industry
and
if
we
look
at
it
as
as
an
amenity
compared
to
other
amenities
and
prioritizing
that's
one
thing,
but
we
have
the
real
possibility
to
build
an
enormous
industry
here
that
will
bring
money
into
our
economy,
and
so
I
hope
we'll
look
at
it
that
way
as
well.
Thank
you.
O
Citro,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
would
like
to
thank
councilman
vieira
for
his
efforts
for
a
new
fire
station
and
asking
that
that
that
fire
station
be
placed
in
this
budget.
O
O
People
are
complaining
to
me
that
they
can't
get
their
things
in
fast
enough
and
get
answers
from
construction
services
permitting
getting
cos
for
their
properties
for
their
businesses
so
that
they
can
enter
into
the
tax
revenues
here,
for
this
city
is
taking
a
long
time,
not
any
faults
are
theirs,
but
understandably
they
do
not
have
the
staffing
for
it,
fire
we're
going
to
be
having
two
new,
hopefully
having
two
new
stations,
but
we
have
this
the
this,
this
separation
between
firefighters
and
the
upper
command,
and
nobody
in
there
filling
that
we
need
more
staffing
again,
I'm
hoping
that
this
budget
is
going
to
allow
us
to
hire
more
employees
for
the
city
of
tampa.
O
O
J
J
J
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
miss
post,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
I
hear
daily
about
the
improvements
that
are
going
on
there
to
serve
the
demand
that
is
going
through
the
the
growth
management
side
of
the
city.
So
I
think
everything
you're
asking
for
you
will
see
unpack
itself
throughout
the
budget
process.
M
Rickmaster,
thank
you,
chairman
goodes,
so,
in
regard
to
villa
brother's
heart,
mr
maniscaco
appreciate
you
reminding
us
about
that,
as
well
as
the
the
family
members.
M
I
have
a
look.
I
have
a
little
bit
of
problem
with
these
generalities
that
we've
heard
much
better
and
mr
o'hara,
with
all
due
respect.
I
think
council
spoke
pretty
loud
and
clear
at
our
our
own
budget
workshop
a
few
weeks
ago
on
this
issue.
M
I
can't
remember
if
that
exact
number
was
was
tossed
out.
I
think
what
mr
mr
mandascalco
is
indicating
affirmatively
that
it
was.
I
think.
M
The
I
think
it's
a
fairly
reasonable
compromise
to
to
split
that
baby
at
800
800
000
per
year.
So
we
can
get
this
thing
done
and,
and
it
is
embarrassing
because
the
last
time
I
was
on
council,
mr
miranda
was
there
as
well.
M
You
know
back
in
the
in
the
2000s
was
when
we
we
started
this
conversation
with
with
the
via
brothers
family
and
with
that
and
more
and
of
equal
importance
with
that
community
and
what
we've
seen
in
that
community
of
west
tampa,
especially
as
you
slide
over
toward
the
university
of
tampa,
is
massive
apartment
complexes
and
and
yes,
there's
a
nice
park
over
there
on
the
river
that
mayor,
buckhorn
and
and
council
and
the
city
built.
M
M
I
think
what
are
we
meeting
two
weeks
from
now
for
the
final
semester,
28th
on
on
that
800
000
request
that,
frankly,
as
I
recall,
was
pretty
unanimous
from
this
council
in
years
past.
We,
you
know,
we
we
got
into
emotions
and
and
that
sort
of
thing,
and
it
got
a
little
with
a
little
bit
more
animosity
with
the
administration.
I
don't
think
anybody
has
any
great
desire
for
that,
but
things
got
done
and
we
saw
that
needle
move.
M
So
I'm
not
necessarily
I'll
leave
it
up.
Mr
maniscalco,
but
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
make
a
motion
tonight,
but
I
I
think
I
think
you're,
hearing
loud
and
clear
from
from
council
that
that's
extremely
important
and
we
need
to
figure
it
out
a.
M
That
that
was
on
my
list
as
well
as
mr
maniscalco
mentioned,
it
was
henry
and
ola
and-
and
I
met
with
ms
hill
out
there
and
her
staff
and
I
kind
of
got
a
little
pat
on
the
back
and
said
yeah
they're,
gonna,
they're
gonna
make
sure
some
things
happen
this
year.
M
But
again
I
haven't
really
heard
much
in
the
way
of
specifics,
but
that
one,
I
think
the
needs
are,
are
significantly
less
in
terms
of
the
dollar
amount
as
compared
to
the
plans
that
have
been
made
for
villa
brothers
bar
that's
my
two
cents
in
regard
to
the
vehicle
program,
mr
bennett,
on
a
little
bit
of
a
lighter
note,
the
do
we
have
any
opportunity
for
electric
vehicles,
I
mean,
obviously,
when
we're
buying
big
giant
trucks
and
fire
trucks
and
that
sort
of
thing
they're,
not
gonna,
be
solar,
powered
or
electric
powered,
or
what
have
you,
but
but
in
regard
to
our
our
day-to-day
vehicular
needs.
M
What?
What
does
that
look
like
in
terms
of
electrifying
our
fleet
and
getting
away
from
from
gas
vehicles.
J
Yeah,
thank
you.
Councilman
dean,
feller,
that's
a
great
question,
as
you
know
that
we
did
some
ad
hoc
adjustments
during
the
procurement
process
to
convert
some
of
our
traditional
fuel
vehicles
to
evs
electric
vehicles,
and
I
know
that
there
are
certain
departments
and
divisions
that
are
fully
committing
to
those.
J
P
Yes
searching,
can
you
hear
me
yeah,
that's
actually.
P
And
we're
having
a
little
technical
difficulty
here
for
a
second
okay.
So
last
year
we
purchased
as
an
intro.
We
purchased
six
electric
vehicles
which
were
the
nissan
leaf
and
we
mainly
issued
them
to
the
water
department
and
construction
services
for
the
supervisors
just
to
try
them
out,
and
we
got
some
good
results
out
of
that.
P
So
this
year
we
purchased
another
11,
and
six
of
them
are
actually
on
the
road
right
now,
with
code
enforcement,
three
in
risk
management
and
two
in
contract
admin,
so
we're
gonna
these
these
nissan
leafs
are,
are
really
putting
up
to
the
test.
We're
going
to
add
more
we're,
we're
bringing
you
know,
we're
talking
to
the
police
department
fire
and
we're
going
to
introduce
a
lot
more
of
these
evs
into
our
system.
P
You
know
bigger
trucks
coming
online
that
we're
monitoring
as
far
as
like
solid
waste
and
but
but
they're,
not
out
on
the
street
yet
and
when
they
are
we're
going
to
investigate
the
possible
uses
of
that.
So
to
answer
your
question:
councilman
yeah
we're
very
in
tune
with
the
evs.
P
M
I
guess,
as
far
as
solid
waste
is
concerned,
sal
have
we
converted
some
of
that
fleet.
What
I
know
we
have
these
gas.
You
know
natural
gas
tanks,
so
we
converted
some
of
the
fleet
to
a
natural
gas
instead
of
diesel.
P
Yes,
sir,
the
we
have
approximately
90
plus
vehicles
that
run
on
cng
gas
and
each
year
when
we,
when
we
do
our
you
know
vehicle
orders,
we
kind
of
split
it.
So
we
are
trying
to
get
a
good
mix
in
there
of
cng
and
diesel
and
then,
when
we
can,
I
know
there's
some
evs
coming
online
for
solid
waste
vehicles.
P
In
fact,
we
did
a
virtual
tour
of
a
company,
that's
producing
them,
but
they
haven't
hit
the
street
yet
and
we're
going
to
investigate
that
when
they
do.
A
F
First
of
all,
when
we
talk
about
replacement
of
automobiles
and
equipment
and
tractors
and
fire
engines
and
haulers
and
solid
waste
materials,
pick
up
how
many
vehicles
do
we
have
you
can't
buy
them
all
at
one
time
and
by
the
way
the
environment
of
the
electrical
movement
is
going
to
move
so
fast
that
whether
we
want
to
or
don't
want
to,
but
then
not
only
this
government,
all
the
government
by
2030,
I
would
say
that
most
governments
are
going
to
have
to
have
electric
vehicles
50
to
100
percent
of
the
vehicles
will
be
powered
by
electricity
because
you're
not
going
to
find
too
many
cars
that
are
coming
out
with
electric.
F
F
It's
a
battery
that
makes
the
electric
engine
go
obsolete
and
the
battery
system
is
now
changing
so
rapidly
that
every
time
you
see
a
battery
comes
out
to
solid
waste.
There's
another
solid
battery,
there's
another
one,
that's
better
than
the
solid
battery.
That's
coming
out
next
and
that'll
power,
a
car,
four
or
500
miles
instead
of
300..
F
So
but
I
always
say,
don't
ask
what
somebody
you
want
them
to
do.
That's
what
you're
doing
yourself
no
offense
made
to
anyone!
Just
think
about
it.
What
do
you
drive?
What's
in
your
house,
what
you
do
it's
the
same
thing
as
the
government?
We
are
no
better
than
the
government.
We
are
a
reflection
of
who
we
are
so
I'm
asking
all
the
council
members
to
do
the
same
thing,
you're
asking
for
that's
number
one
number
two.
F
Regarding
villa
brothers,
I've
had
a
commitment
from
the
administration
not
yesterday,
but
for
some
time
that
vita
brothers
are
going
to
get
one
or
the
other
this
year
and
the
other
one
possibly
next
year,
and
that
was
I
talked
to
someone
in
the
villa
brothers
organization,
which
was
mrs
sanchez,
and
we
made
no
commitments,
but
I
think
what
they
like
to
have.
First
is
the
walk
around
around
the
park
and
then
the
dog
park
next
year,
because
that
way,
if
you
have
a
dog
park,
what
are
you
going
to
do?
Just
stay
watch
the
dog.
F
Now,
if
you
have
a
dog
without
the
dog
park,
first,
you
have
the
complete
circle
around.
You
can
walk
the
dog
and
still
have
your
exercise
and
see
the
young
kids
playing
and
enjoying
themselves.
So
I
believe
that's
what
the
administration
is
going
to
do.
I
can't
speak
for
them,
but
I
think
the
first
part
is
going
to
be
the
walk
away,
mr
weedle
minnesota
and
you're
right,
you're,
absolutely
right.
F
F
The
rest
was
difficult
because
now
we're
faced
with
the
opposite,
we
had
a
if
you
have
five
pounds
of
meat
and
all
of
a
sudden
you've
got
10
kids
coming
to
the
house
that
fine
final
meeting
will
last
like
it
was.
If
you
were
living
alone,
that's
what
we
have
now
in
reality.
When
you
look
at
it,
we
have
a
growth
in
the
city
that
spurred
so
quickly
that
even
the
analyst
was
wrong,
the
water
going
to
south
hillsborough
county.
F
I
thought
that
would
never
happen.
Be
honest
with
you
beating
new
york
meeting
california
beating
texas,
beating
all
of
them,
the
city
of
tampa
was
rated
number
one.
I
read
that
saw
that
on
tv,
so
these
are
the
things
that
are
amazing
to
me,
but
solid
waste
needs
a
little
help
with
all
the
traffic
and
all
the
narrow
streets
in
south
tampa.
I
believe
they
only
have
one
small
vehicle
that
can
service
that
area
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
not
a
little.
F
No
matter
what
we
do
you
fail,
no
matter
if
you're
on
a
restaurant
or
the
most
luxurious
hotel
in
the
world,
you
got
to
have
a
foundation
of
employees
that
keep
you
going
and
I
don't
think
there's
any
city
run
better
than
this
one
and
no
city
has
better
employees
than
this
one,
and
I
stick
by
that.
So
I
understand
that
we
have
some
things,
but
remember:
I'm
gonna
give
you
two
words
to
fear
in
the
future.
F
O
A
A
A
I
tried
to
get
on
the
last
day
and
get
a
walkthrough,
and
I
had
difficulties
as
well
with
a
lot
of
things
that
we
have
going
on
when
it's
this
time.
People
need
to
be
able
to
hit
the
button
and
be
able
to
go
to
click
whatever
to
get
where
they
need
to
go
to
get
the
information
they
need,
and
people
find
it
is
very
difficult
to
read
the
budget
on
the
website.
A
We
may
not
can
get
it
done
before
the
28th,
but
I'm
hoping
in
the
future
that
we
really
work
on
getting
the
website
for
the
budget
that
anybody
can
get
on
their
small
kick
and
get
on
there.
Look
at
the
the
word
budget,
2025
click
on
the
budget
and
go
to
it
and
be
able
to
find
whatever
whatever
to
get
their
answers.
That's
the
chief
complaint,
I'm
getting
in
reference
to
our
budget
process.
A
A
A
A
A
A
So
I
really
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
the
bulk,
so
the
community
can
know
where
we
going
with
housing
and
how
much
money
will
be
allocated
for
housing
in
a
non-subsidized
aspect.
So
people
can
be
able
to
get
what
they
need.
We
can
help
them
because
that
seems
to
be
the
big
cry
right
now,
housing.
A
So
if
the
chief
or
whoever's
on
the
line
from
housing
can
talk
to
us
about
the
total
money,
that's
going
to
be
allocated
in
a
non-subsidized
way
to
be
able
to
bring
programs,
that's
going
to
help
everybody
and
not
have
certain
strings
attached
or
certain
criteria
that
people
can't
be
able
to
get
help.
So
if
I
could
just
hear
that
because
I
know
I've
got
so
many
calls
on
that
reference
to
housing.
J
Thank
you,
chairman,
john
and
chief
of
staff.
I
think
the
best
way
to
go
about
your
your
question,
which
is
a
good
one,
and
clearly
one
of
the
mayor's
highest
priorities
is
housing
as
well
is
we'll
let
our
our
cfo
dennis
royero
talk
about
it
in
a
quantitative
budget
way
and
then
we'll
turn
it
over
to
carol
post
and
her
portfolio
to
talk
about
the
programmatic
side
of
the
fy
22
budget.
G
Thank
you
chief.
Yes,
mr
chair,
in
fiscal
year
22,
and
I
believe
it
was
part
of
our
budget
presentation.
We
have
as
as
we've
discussed,
16
million
american
rescue
plan
act
funding
for
the
housing
department.
We
also
have
an
anticipated
18
million
dollars
in
anticipated
grants
for
the
housing
department
in
fiscal
year
22..
We
also
have
an
amount
that
is
unspent
in
the
current
year
that
will
carry
forward
for
expenditure
in
the
next
fiscal
year,
so
nearly
35
million
dollars
in
housing
between
arpa
and
the
anticipated
grants
next
year
for
more
detail.
K
K
Terrific
thank
you.
I
appreciate
your
comments
about
housing.
I
think
I've
had
conversations
with
each
of
you
and
certainly
with
you,
chair
goods,
about
the
needs
that
are
there
and
our
desire
to
drive
a
very
aggressive
agenda
forward
to
support
and
begin
to
fill
those
needs,
and
we
have
those
on
many
fronts.
K
I
am
joined
this
afternoon
by
abby
philly,
our
director
of
development
and
growth
management,
who
can
add
some
detail
about
some
of
our
programming.
I
did
want
to
echo
what
dennis
rojero
mentioned,
though
from
a
budget
perspective
is
that
we
have.
We
now
have
the
benefit
of
multiple
sources.
Thank
you
of
multiple
fund
sources
that
we
have
not
otherwise
had
at
our
disposal,
so
certainly
the
grant
funds
that
were
referenced
that
bring
us
to
about
a
19
million
dollar
total
and,
as
we
all
know,
those
carry
a
fair
amount
of
restrictions.
K
They
do
serve
a
wide
range
of
needs
and
we
are
we're
very
grateful
to
have
that
balance.
But
the
doors
have
been
open
to
us
in
a
more
liberal
way
through
the
use
of
both
cares,
funds
of
which
we
have
approximately
14
million
dollars,
left
to
be
spent
throughout
this
fiscal
year
and
then
into
a
few
fiscal
years
moving
forward
and
now
with
the
introduction
of
the
arpa
funds
that
further
grow
that
balance
and
have
even
less
restrictions.
K
I
do
want
to
notice
that
these
are
not
completely
unrestricted
funds.
They
do
have
criteria.
There
are
certain
eligibility
criteria
and
there
are
expenditure
deadlines
that
that
come.
There
are
some
strings
attached
if
you
will,
but
they
are
far
less
restrictive
than
the
funds
we
typically
are
exposed
to,
and
for
that
reason
we
are
very
excited
to
be
able
to
open
a
number
of
doors
to
new
programming,
as
well
as
expand
existing
programming
to
individuals
who
would
not
otherwise
qualify
for
many
of
the
federal
funds
that
we
already
receive.
A
Details,
I
want
to
say
this
carol.
I
I
respect
what
you're
saying,
but
I
went
to
the
floor
of
league
of
cities
and
I
listened
to
the
presentation
for
those
who
are
giving
those
funds
and
they're
not
many
restrictions
on
this
phone.
That's
why
you
see
a
lot
of
cities
right
now
are
putting
the
vast
majority
of
their
opera
money
into
housing,
because
there
are
no
restrictions
right
now,
as
it
relates
to
that.
A
So
I
just
want
to
make
the
we
let
the
public
know
that
hey
we
have
these
dollars
and
we
need
to
make
sure
because
it's
an
unsubsidized
way
to
get
them
out
to
the
people.
So
I
just
want
to
make
make
sure
we're
clear
on
that
that,
yes,
there
might
be
some
small
small
restrictions,
but
there
are
not
many
as
it
relates
to
housing.
K
So
we're
able
to,
as
we've
set
out
for
the
use
of
the
16
million,
probably
largely
half
of
it,
may
go
toward
activating
municipal
assets
in
a
way
that
put
them
that
so
that
they
can
become
active
housing
stock.
K
I
don't
know
if
you
all
have
specific
questions
again.
I
have
abby
here
with
me,
if
you'd
like
to
for
us
to
elaborate
on
some
of
the
programming
and
planning
that
we
are
anticipating
for
the
arpa
funds.
We'd
be
happy
to
do
that
or
if
you
have
specific
questions,
we
are
ready,
willing
and
able
for
a.
A
Discussion,
I
think
for
me
with
abby,
I
think,
is
making
sure
that
we
have
a
robust,
rehab
program
that
we
don't.
We
don't
have
to
worry
about
restricted
funds
to
do
this
and
that
I
think
that
is
key.
We
have
housing
stock
in
a
lot
of
the
areas
like
you
said,
we
need
to
put
our
money
to
get
and
acquire
that
housing
stock
to
put
people
in
those
houses
or
as
far
as
developments
in
these
old
buildings,
to
make
apartments
out
of
them
for
affordable
housing
these
from
these
marginalized
communities.
A
I
think
those
dollars
can
be
really
utilized
and
partnered
with
other
developers
to
be
able
to
have
a
robust
housing
program
within
some
of
these
communities.
So
that's
what
I'm
hoping
that
money
is
really
geared
to
really
do
not
just
say
new
housing,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
rehab
and
building
communities
that
are
already
existing
any
other
councilmembers
have
questions
regarding
the
housing
atmosphere.
Do
you
want
to
say
anything.
Q
Good
evening,
chair
chairman
good's
city
council,
I
did
just
want
to
remind
you
that
we
did
come
before
you
just
at
the
end
of
july
on
the
action
plan
that
had
funds
and
the
end
of
this
month
we're
bringing
back
those
agreements
for
the
distribution
of
those
funds,
as
we
outlined
in
that
program.
The
other
item
that,
as
carol
just
mentioned
we
are
looking
at,
will
be
to
expand
the
owner
occupied
rehabilitation,
the
down
payment
assistance
program
and
the.
Q
No,
the
third
one,
it's
escaping
me
right
now
with
unrestricted
funds.
So,
as
you
we've
discussed
in
previous,
we
do
have
those
restrictions
right
now
up
to
the
80
percent.
A
Thank
you
so
much
anyone
else
on
this
topic
all
right.
I
don't
have
any
more
questions.
Mr
rojero,
what's
up
next,
sir.
G
A
All
right
old
public
comment
is
now
open
for
the
operating
and
capital
budgets.
Madam
deputy
clerk,
we
have
the
second
floor.
A
A
D
I
believe
we
should
be
using
this
money
for
items
that
benefit
the
citizens
of
tampa
in
regards
to
covid,
as
you
can
see
from
the
article
entitled
5g
technology
and
induction
of
coronavirus
and
skin
cells.
5G
millimeter
waves
are
able
to
be
absorbed
by
skin
cells,
transferred
to
other
cells
and
generate
covet
cells.
D
Shanghai
is
a
stone
known
for
its
absorption
of
98
of
electromagnetic
radiation
emitted
by
electronic
devices,
and
other
machinery,
such
as
the
cell
towers,
that
surround
us
in
our
everyday
lives.
The
chemical
makeup
of
the
stone
contains
a
molecular
structure
that
is
unique
to
the
geology
of
earth.
D
D
such
room.
Now
such
rooms
are
common
in
rehab,
centers
and
hospitals
all
over
the
world.
According
to
scientists,
shungite
rooms
accelerate
the
process
of
recovery
of
serious
diseases
by
generating
the
immune
system
to
combat
disease.
Faster
studies
have
shown
that
up
to
15
minutes
spent
in
a
shungite
room,
improves
blood
circulation,
normalizes
pressure
and
improves
metabolism
due
to
its
antiseptic
properties.
It
also
helps
bronchitis,
asthma
and
respiratory
illnesses.
D
D
Therefore,
in
summary,
I
ask
I
ask
you:
are
we
going
to
spend
a
donation
by
the
federal
government
with
its
purpose
being
to
help
americans
recover
from
covet
for
something
other
than
recovery?
From
covet,
shungite
paint
is
simply
shungite
powder,
mixed
with
paint
shungite
powder
costs.
Roughly
forty
four
dollars
for
a
two
pound.
D
Okay,
the
mixture
to
create
shungite
paint
is
one
tablespoon
powder
to
one
gallon
of
paint,
depending
on
the
type
of
paint
the
city
of
tampa
decides
to
use
and
the
amount
of
rooms
the
city
paints.
The
allocation
of
funds
for
the
cost
of
this
project
would
be
mainly
the
amount
it
would
take
to
pay
the
painters.
D
A
H
Thank
you,
hello.
Everyone.
My
name
is
angel
d'angelo,
born
and
raised
in
tampa
florida.
I
want
to
echo
council,
member
boobs
and
events
about
housing.
This
is
a
crisis
that
we
can
avoid
all
of
it's
avoidable,
but
that's
beside
the
point.
We
need
to
prioritize
making
sure
people,
not
just
homeowners
but
renters,
are
project
protected.
We
could
do
a
renter's
bailout
with
some
of
this
money
and
make
sure
people
get
caught
up
to
avoid
this
houseless
crisis.
H
H
You
know
you
have
to
be
up
to
five
years
old
and
be
at
100
of
the
poverty
line
or
below
that's
just
not
sufficient
enough
for
most
of
people
in
tampa.
H
We
need
to
look
at
a
jobs
program
that
looks
at
people
with
felonies
people
with
disabilities,
trans
gay,
queer,
black
brown,
indigenous
people,
immigrants
getting
them
employed
gainful
employment.
We
need
to
look
at
all
these
different
options
for
our
community.
This
money
needs
to
go
directly
to
us
instead
of
giving
tpd
any
more
money
they
just
I
mean
we've
been
investing
in
tpd
forever
and
we
haven't
gotten
any
safer
or
better
things
have
only
gotten
really
worse
and
the
community
relationships
haven't
gotten
that
much
better
from
last
year.
H
B
I
Can
you
hear
me
back?
We
can
hear
you
okay,
so
this
is
louise
thompson,
executive,
director
of
tampa
bay,
community
network
and
a
tampa
bay
area
resident
for
more
than
40
years.
I'm
wanting
to
thank
you.
First
of
all,
I
think
it
was
tremendous
that
you
got
us
back
in
the
budget.
Speak
up,
tampa
bay,
tampa
bay,
community
network,
that
you
got
us
back
in
the
budget
after
a
three-year
hiatus
after
the
previous
administration
defunded
us,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I
I'm
thanking
you,
but
at
the
same
time
asking
you
for
more
and
the
reason
is
we
were
funded
again,
but
at
a
very
low
rate
we
had
been
originally
funded
by
the
city
of
tampa
for
540
000.
I
It
got
dwindling
down
to
the
fact
that
we
were
at
207
000
prior
to
being
defunded,
and
we
really
need
the
money
because
we
have
equipment
that
needs
to
be
replaced
and
and
and
new
equipment
that
needs
to
be
purchased.
In
software
we
have
a
great
mission:
we're
training,
individuals,
we're
doing
workforce
training
and
non-profits
in
video
production
which,
as
you
probably
all
know,
is
the
place
to
be
these
days,
because
everything
has
to
be
on
video
today.
I
We
get
a
lot
of
inexperienced
hands
on
using
our
equipment,
which
is
costly
to
maintain
repair
and
replace
and
right
now,
that's
where
we
are
needing
to
replace
them.
So
I
ask
you
to
at
least
if
you
could
put
us
in
the
budget
for
300
000.
That
would
be
great
if
you
can't,
if
you
could
take
us
back
to
our
prior
to
the
defunding
level,
207
360.
I
B
Q
Yes,
hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
ma'am,
okay,
wonderful,
all
right,
good
evening
hope
you
are
all
doing
well,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today.
My
name
is
antonia
mccutchen
and
I
am
the
programming
manager
at
the
upper
bay
community
network,
and
the
reason
I
am
speaking
today
is
to
request
that
the
council
considers
increasing
our
funding
for
the
next
fiscal
year,
2022.
Q
first
off,
I
did
want
to
let
you
know
just
how
grateful
we
all
are
that
we
are
once
again
in
the
city
budget
for
the
amount
of
108
000
very
grateful.
This
amount
was
rolled
over
from
last
year
when
we
were
voted
back
into
the
budget
with
the
help
of
the
city
council
and
on
behalf
of
everyone
at
tbc.
On
weekend,
we
can't
thank
you
enough,
however,
as
grateful
as
we
are.
Unfortunately,
it
is
still
not
enough.
I
wish
it
were.
Q
We've
had
many
losses
throughout
the
three
years
after
mayor
buckhorn
chose
to
cut
us
out
of
the
budget.
We
suffered
loss
after
loss,
including
not
being
able
to
purchase
new
equipment
or
even
fix
the
broken
equipment
we
currently
have.
We've
had
to
lay
off
staff
and
had
to
cut
out
many
of
our
wonderful
programs.
Q
So
we
ask
you,
the
city
council,
to
please
consider
getting
us
back
to
at
least
what
we
were
receiving
right
before
mayor
buckhorn
cut
us
out
of
the
budget
in
2018,
and
that
was
the
amount
of
207
000
the
city
of
tampa
residents
and
businesses
need
us.
Video
is
more
important
than
ever,
especially
in
the
age
of
the
internet,
and
we
are
not
just
a
tv
stationery,
but
we
are
everything
video
in
studio
and
online.
We
are
a
very
big
part
of
the
workforce
and
also
in
the
nonprofit
sector.
Q
B
R
R
R
I
need
help
I'm
about
to
lose
my
home
today
and
I
have
three
kids,
I'm
a
single
parent.
Now,
since
my
husband
passed
from
covid,
I
used
to
work
at
northwestern
before
this
covet
virus
came
around.
Please
please.
I
just
need
to
provide
my
landlord
with
something
anything
I
can't
lose
my
home.
I
just
lost
my
husband
and
have
no
other
family.
Please.
R
The
solutions
have
already
been
implemented
and
studied
for
you
and
they
cost
less
money
and
lives.
Just
ask
the
institute
for
the
development
of
human
arts,
which
provides
training
and
resources
for
shifting
policy
and
practice
in
mental
health
care
and
gathers
experts
from
all
over
the
country
who
share
strategies
and
successes
around
eliminating
law
enforcement
from
crisis
care.
Let's
learn
from
mental
health.
First
oakland,
a
mobile
crisis
response
unit
that
provides
assistance
and
resources
and
puts
callers
needs
first.
R
That
program
is
based
on
a
culture
of
solidarity,
compassion
and
relying
on
supporting
community-led
mutual
aid
that
already
exists,
especially
in
communities
of
color
as
a
result
of
police
brutality
and
harassment.
We,
the
people,
have
been
working
hard
to
completely
end
poverty
and
injustice,
so
please
join
us
and
defund
the
police
and
refund
the
community.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
S
All
right
good
evening,
everybody,
my
name,
is
harrison
melendy.
S
I
am
a
tampa
bay
resident
and
the
main
message
that
I
just
want
to
get
across
personally,
just
as
it
relates
to
this
budget
is
the
issue
of
housing,
and
I
think
that
it's
very
good
that
this
is
being
echoed,
and
I
hope
that
it
continues
on
after
this
hearing.
S
I
also
want
to
point
out
a
very
recent
report
by
the
tampa
bay
times
that
found
that
it
takes
up
to
three
minimum
wage
jobs
to
make
rent
and
that
the
average
or
working-class
low-wage
worker
in
tampa
bay
may
spend
more
than
30
percent
of
their
income
on
rent,
and
this
is
definitely
a
budget
issue.
This
is
in
the
same
metro
area
where
roads
and
sidewalks
are
in
need
of
construction,
and
the
environmental
disasters
nationwide
keep
climbing
as
a
reflection
of
the
city
of
tampa.
S
So
we
do
need
a
resilient
tampa
as
mayor
castro
says,
but
we
also
need
a
brazilian
tampa
that
compels
people
to
consider
our
community
voice
as
well.
Many
grassroots
organizations
in
this
area,
academic
view
such
as
psl,
tampa
bay,
dream
defenders
and
so
on,
have
been
pushing
for
a
revamp
on
affordable
housing,
a
reexamination
on
police
budget,
especially
to
include
mental
health
crisis
services
and
a
call
to
action
on
how
we
can
set
the
standard
for
environmental
responsibility.
S
B
H
Thank
you
good
evening,
everybody.
I
I'd
like
to
discuss
relief
funds
and
I
haven't
been
able
to
review
the
budget,
see
where
funds
are
going,
but
my
public
comments
really
going
to
be
about
tampa
general
hospital.
H
If
there's
any
funds
going
to
tgh
or
to
tgh
doctors,
to
consult
on
anything
for
the
city,
there's
a
dire
situation
going
on
right
now
at
tampa
general
hospital
that
I
don't
think
anybody
is
aware
of,
and
I
have
firsthand
knowledge
of
it.
They're
intubating
everyone
that
goes
into
tampa
general
hospital
right
now
as
a
first
line
of
action
they're
using
high
fatality
treatment
protocols,
and
I
think
that
the
city
council
really
needs
to
do
an
investigation.
It
might
be
outside
the
purview
of
this
hearing.
H
It's
it's
a
dire
situation:
they're
intubating
people
illegally,
I'm
gonna,
send
I'm
gonna,
follow
up
with
this
and
send
city
council
members
some
information
about
what's
going
on
over
there,
but
essentially,
when
you
call
9-1-1
and
you
go
to
that
hospital
you're
going
into
a
bad
situation,
you're
not
just
going
in
to
get
treatment,
you're
going
into
a
very
bad
situation,
and
I
want
to
make
everybody
aware
as
soon
as
possible.
You
know
I'm
just
finding
this
out
from
the
weekend
and
thursday
and
friday,
things
that
I
found
out
I've
experienced
firsthand.
H
M
A
point
of
order,
and
while
we
respect
the
first
amendment
rights
of
everybody
who
calls
in
I'm
going
to
rebut
that
last
comment,
I
think
it's
an
extremely
dangerous
comment
to
be
spreading
to
the
community
that
they
shouldn't
go
to
tampa
general
hospital
to
the
contrary.
Camp
general
hospital
is
is,
if
not
the
most
finest
hospital
in
this
community,
it's
one
of
the
top
one
or
two
hospitals
in
this
community.
M
I
used
to
serve
on
the
board
of
tampa
general
hospital
years
ago
and
there's
no
finer
place.
The
doctors
and
staff
are
dedicated
to
saving
lives
and-
and
if
I
was
sick
with
covet
or
anything
else,
significant
and
I
needed
to
go
to
hospital,
I
would
go
to
tampa
general
hospital.
This
is
not
an
advertisement
for
tgh,
but
I
think
that
they
were.
That
was
a
very
dangerous
comment
from
from
that.
Individual
and
people
listen
to
ridiculous
comments,
and-
and
you
know
for
some
reason,
they
don't
do
their
own
research.
M
So
anyway,
I
feel
very
passionate
about
them.
Mr
chairman,
I
rarely
chime
in
and
respond
to
people's
comments,
but
that
one,
I
think,
was
extremely
dangerous.
You
know
with
all
due
respect
to
to
the
gentleman
he
can
have
his
own
opinions
and
that's
all
fine.
This
is
my
opinion
as
well.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
P
F
Heart
to
diabetes,
to
kidney,
to
rank
one
of
the
top
10,
maybe
in
the
whole
area,
number
top
10
in
florida
for
sure
in
hospitalization
and
the
amount
of
volume
that
they
do,
the
doctors
and
nurses
when
I'm
sick
and
I'm
not
here,
advertising
for
temple,
general
or
any
other
hospital.
We
got
great
hospitals
here.
F
The
temper
general
is
where
I
go
and
when
I
had
kovic
that's
where
I
went,
I
didn't
stay
overnight,
but
I
was
treated
there
and
released
not
once
but
twice,
and
I
can
only
say
that
I
was
treated
with
the
utmost
respect,
not
any
different
than
anyone
else
that
I
noticed.
I
went
through
the
emergency
room
like
anyone
else
does
and
they
for
anyone,
not
because
I'm
elected
a
fish.
F
C
A
Well,
I
can
say
I
I've
had
experience
at
temple
general
hospital
as
a
police
officer,
getting
people
there
getting
shot,
really
beating
all
kinds
of
situations,
and
that
me
having
cover,
I
was
a
patient
there
for
several
days.
A
I
don't
know
what
the
caller's
intent
was
or
what
knowledge
he
has.
But
I
can
tell
you
that
those
folks
over
there
they
work
hard
over
there-
and
I
know
cover-
is
a
tough
time
but
most
people
that
go
to
the
hospital
with
covet
they're,
pretty
sick.
I'm
just
going
to
tell
you
right
now
when
you
got
to
go
to
the
hospital
with
covet
you're,
pretty
sick,
and
I
guess
they're
trying
to
do
what
they
have
to
do.
Whatever
the
procedures
are.
A
B
A
Thank
you
we'll
go
into
our
last
second
round
of
questions
and
comments.
Mr
reynolds,
do
you
have
anything,
sir.
F
O
I'd
like
to
thank
councilman
miranda
for
his
comment
about
our
employees.
If
it
wasn't
for
our
employees,
this
the
city
would
not
operate
properly.
Thank
you
to
everybody
who
is
on
our
staff.
Thank
you
to
our
tampa
family.
Mr.
A
C
Thank
you
very
much
real,
quick
in
regards
to
vila
brothers
park.
C
I
heard
things
along
the
line
of
you
know
we're
leaning
towards
we're
working
on
we're
in
that
direction,
we're
looking
to
but
really
no
guarantee,
and
what
I'd
like
to
see
between
now
and
the
second
reading
of
this
budget
is
a
a
guarantee
from
the
administration
as
to
what
they're
going
to
do
what
the
timeline
is
going
to
be
for
villa
brothers
park,
whether
they
bond
it
out.
However,
they
get
the
funding
for
it,
but
I
want
to
see
this
get
done.
C
Has
been
asking
for
it,
this
neighborhood
in
those
16
years
has
grown
significantly
and
a
lot
of
other
parts
of
the
city
received
even
more
in
regards
to
parks.
I
remember
when
we
supported
julian
b
lane
park
at
36
million
dollars.
The
mayor
wanted
it
open
by
mother's
day
my
mother's
day
weekend,
and
it
was
open
by
mother's
day
weekend.
So
when
someone
wants
to
get
something
done,
it
gets
done.
C
I
I
would
hope
that
the
administration
feels
the
same
way
and
that
they
come
back
at
the
second
reading
with
you
know
what
the
plan
is.
I
can't
have
you
know
we're
looking
at
it
we're
working
on
it.
Then,
next
year
and
the
year
after
we
have
the
same
discussion,
I
need
it
finished.
Time
is
of
the
essence.
Thank
you.
C
A
C
Would
be
a
motion
that
the
administration
come
back,
that
would
be
chief
of
staff,
john
bennett
and
our
chief
financial
officer
upon
second
reading,
which
I
believe
is
what
the
28th
of
this
month
and
let
us
know
how
we
will
be
funding
this
park
again.
I
want
to
see
it
completed.
I
want
a
plan
in
place
whether
it's
part
of
a
bonding
process,
whether
they
find
the
money
from
a
certain
area
of
the
budget.
C
L
And-
and
let
me
also
add
to
that,
if
I
may
maybe
a
friendly
meme-
I
don't
know-
but
you
know
maybe
councilman
menescalco
wants
to
do
a
separate
motion
where
we
go
ahead
and
calendar,
because
I
I
believe
that
this
administration
is
going
to
get
this
done.
I
I
fundamentally
believe
that
I
believe
that,
because
they're
saying
it's
going
to
get
done
and
I
believe
it
because
of
the
values
that
vela
brothers
park
represents,
this
is
a
park
that
is
a
patriotic
park
that
supports
the
men
and
women
who
serve
in
the
military.
L
L
However,
I
would
maybe
ask
councilman
maniscalco
if
he
wishes
too
concurrent
with
his
motion,
also
maybe
schedule
from
now
or
what
september
maybe
may
of
next
year
to
have
a
report
set
up
to
report
on
the
status
of
villa
brothers
park.
So
you
can
go,
hey,
listen,
it's
been
seven
months
or
we
have
trust
but
verify.
L
I
don't
think,
there's
anything
wrong
with
that
and
then
to
work
with
the
administration
on
finding
the
money
where's
it
going
to
come
from
the
reserves
whatever
it
may
be.
You
know,
but
just
the
thought
in
that
regard.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
I
liked
councilman
vieira's
idea.
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
if,
if
mr
manuka
would
accept
it
to
add
at
a
report
at
some
point,
I
said
this
before,
but
in
a
way
it
it
breaks
my
heart
every
time,
martha
villa
and
her
family
have
to
beg
us
for
this
money
that
the
city
promised
under
the
last
administration.
It's
it's
really
sad.
N
As
you
all
talked
about
this.
This
park
is
not
just
a
neighborhood
park,
but
it
it
represents
war,
heroes
and
you
know,
veterans
and
and
widows
and
family
members,
and
we
can't
treat
them
like
that.
We
have
to
fix
this
wrong
and
I
I
think
we
have
to
insist
on
putting
this
in
the
budget
that
800
000
has
to
that.
800
000
has
to
be
in
this
year's
budget
and
next
year's
budget.
We
need
to
get
this
done.
We
had
a
presentation
by
the
the
budget
advisory
committee
last
week.
N
They
said
there
might
be
40
million
dollars
in
slush
funds.
I
was
hearing
today
it
might
be
15
or
20
million,
but
there's
money
there.
We
just
need
to
make
sure
we
explicitly
say
it
and
the
the
reason
to
do
it
and
the
reason
to
be
explicit
and
have
these
meetings
is
so
that
the
villa
family
doesn't
have
to
pick
for
this
anymore
and
it,
and-
and
it's
not
that
that
that
it's
something
that
that
they
just
want
it's
something
that
they
were
promised
and
we
need
to.
N
A
C
Yeah,
and
that
is
for
the
administration,
meaning
chief
of
staff,
john
bennett,
who's
on
the
call
today
and
our
cfo
to
tell
me
how
they
fund
it.
I
need
a
guarantee
I
want
to
know.
You
know
I
mean
we
can
make
promises
all
day,
but
I
want
to
see
it
done
and
then
I'll
make
a
separate
motion
that
we
get
a
report
april,
7th
2022
on
the
status
of
construction
work,
updates.
Anything
that's
going
on
in
the
park.
C
C
The
motion
is
that
at
second
reading,
at
our
second
budget
public
hearing,
that
our
cfo
and
our
chief
of
staff
come
back
with
how
villa
brothers
will
be
funded
for
that
1.6
million,
meaning
how
we
will
complete
it.
I
would
like
a
guarantee.
I
would
like
a
commitment,
not
you
know
we're
looking
at
it
we're
heading
in
that
direction.
I
need
more
than
that,
so
we
can
put
this
to
bed
and
move
forward,
and
that
would
be
my
mush.
A
Madam
clerk,
did
you
get
all
that?
What
should
we
put
on
the
floor?
Miss
mascara
second,
with
mr
dingfeld,
all
in
favor
all.
C
C
O
O
C
E
In
keeping
consistent
with
this
hearing,
why
don't
we
do
that
right.
E
N
E
C
A
L
Thank
you,
sir,
and
I
would
just
again
and
by
the
way
but
poor
for
the
public
councilman
scott
goes
stick
poor
guy,
so
so
god
bless
him
for
doing
that,
while
he's
sick.
But
one
thing
I
would
urge
everyone
who's
in
favor
of
this
as
well,
is
to
try
to
find
ways
within
the
budget
to
make
this
happen
again,
I
brought
up
the
top
of
my
head
reserves.
Whatever.
D
L
But
just
an
idea
in
that
regard.
Thank
you,
sir.
A
A
G
F
Sir,
thank
you
chairman.
I
move
to
tentatively
adopt
a
proposed
military
rate
of
6.2076
mills,
which
is
4.56
percent
more
than
the
rollback
military
rate
of
5.9367
mill
for
property
tax
fund,
which
are
used
to
support
the
general
fund
operating
budget
of
the
city
of
tampa.
Second,.
C
B
A
F
O
L
And
I
appreciate
it
people's
indulgence
just
one
second,
I
wanted
to
make
a
request,
and
I
know
everyone's
going
to
support
this
110
and
be
happy
about
it.
Well,
not
happy
on
the
circumstances.
Our
good
friend
joe
greco
is
leaving
he's
not
leaving
tampa
fire.
He
is
leaving
the
presidency
of
tampa
firefighter
754
and
he
wanted
to
come
if
the
chair
permits
for
five
minutes
on
the
23rd
september,
23rd
to
speak
before
city
council,
just
on
his
thoughts
of
being
the
outgoing
union
president.
A
E
We
do
have
information
reports
of
new
business
by
council
members.
Madam
clerk,
is
that
something
you
would
consider
for
this
budget
hearing.
A
Mr
vera
has
made
a
motion,
I
think
mrs
was
second
and
madonna.
Did
you
get.
A
M
If
you're
doing
new
business,
I
was
directed
by
the
illustrious
symphysar
to
make
a
motion,
and
so
on
october
21st.
The
invocation
will
be
given
by
a
fantastic
lady,
sherry,
silk
who's,
the
longtime
president
of
the
humane
society
tampa
bay
and
and
she
likes
to
give
us
periodically
an
update
on
humane
society
and
and
the
good
work
that
they
do
for
the
for
the
little
animals.
M
So
they're
asking
for
five
minutes
following
her
invocation
or
whenever
mr
chair
would
accommodate.
At
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
on
october,
21st,
2nd.
E
E
21St,
what
policing
presentation?
No?
Actually,
the
commendation
is
for
the
house
of
hope,
providing
support
and
then
we
have
the
hands
of
hope,
sickle
cell
awareness
foundation,
and
then
we
have
a
commendation
for
the
usa,
women's
softball
silver
medalist
in
honor
of
the
coaching
team
ron,
ken
erickson,
and
then
you
have
the
f
dot
presentation
for
the
update
to
city
council
on
projects
within
the
city.
Okay,.
M
Quick,
mr
daniel
follows
you
right,
so
two
things
number
one
she
is
coming
for.
The
invocation
I
just
thought
it'd
be
convenient
and
number
two
is.
I
so
rarely
request
any
of
council's
time
during
any
of
these
types
of
ceremonial
stuff,
and
I
think
that
this
is
really
important.
Stuff,
steve.
A
A
All
right
promotion,
close
the
first
public
hearing.
A
All
right,
mr
moran,
has
moved.
It
was
the
second
by
mr
vera.
No
all
the
favorites
hi
all
right,
mr
you're
recognized.
E
And
just
before
you
adjourn,
mr
chairman,
just
a
motion
to
receive
and
file.
Please
don't.
A
You
gotta
get
the
first
motion
flip
right.
First
right,
mr
madam
chair,
all
right,
it
was
mr
miranda,
mr
mr
vieira,
in
favor.
