We

blessings
that
you
have
bestowed
upon

Lord.
We

we
can
do
nothing

show
them
how
to
strategize
and
to
come
together
for
the
benefit
of
our
city
and
as
they
work
together.
Let
us
all
work
together
to
build
up
our
city,
not
to
tear
it
down
and
father.
We
ask
you
for
guidance
this
morning.
We
ask
you
for
peace.
We
ask
you
for
your
joy
this

and
father
there's
anybody
on
the
sound
of
my
voice.
D
That
is
having
some
issues
in
the
body
we
ask
for
healing.
Today
we
ask
for
lord,
we
ask
for
peace
today,
father.
We
know
that
we
have
went
through
a
lot
through
the
covet,
but
we
are
still
trusting
you
and
we
know
that
all
things
are
working
to
the
good
may
not
look
like

it's
my

to
you
corporal

and
as
you
all
know,
that
violent
crime
has
ticked
up
a
little
bit
across
the
nation.
Corporal
steve
hogan
has
actually
made
it
a
point
to
go
out
and
make
a
significant
impact
in
reducing
violent
crime
in
our
community.
G
G

Through

reported
stolen

florida
on

corporal
hogan
conducted
a
traffic
stop
in
the

apartments
there.
He
observed
a
driver
that
was
acting
suspicious
and
through
his
investigation
he
was
able
to
recover
a
firearm
in
that
case
as
well
on
march

he
saw
several
vehicles
that
were
parked
suspiciously

Please

corporal
before

you
get
a
chance
to

anything
council
members.
Would
anybody
like
to
say
anything
to
corporal.
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
corporal,
just
thank
you
for
your
service
to
our
city
and
to
our
community,
our
first
responders,
that
includes
our
police
officers
and
our
firefighters.
Our
emergency
personnel
really
represent
the
bestness,
I'm
so
glad
that
your
wife
is
here.
P
I
know
that
she's
so
proud
of
you
for
the
work
that
you
do
she's,
I'm
sure
she
sees
you
go
every
day
to
work
and,
and
she
sends
you
off
to
a
job
that
is
very,
very
dangerous.
It's
a
very,
very
dangerous
job,
it's,
but
it's
a
very,
very
critical
job
and
my
hope
and
my
prayer
corporal,
is
that
we
not
just
here
in
the
city
of
tampa
but
just
everywhere
can
show
our
appreciation
to
men
and
women
like
you
and
your
families,
for
what
you
all
do
every
day.
Q
We
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
work
you
and
each
every
member
of
the
tampa
police
department
does
day
in
and
day
out,
365
days
a
year
for
the
career
that
you
have
is
a
very
difficult
one
and
we
honor
you
and
your
family
for
the
sacrifices
that
everyone
makes
to
make
tampa
the
city
that
it
is
without
a
city
that
has
a
level
of
stability
and
reduction
in
crime
to
some
degree.
It's
a
city,
that's
not
growing
at
all.
No
one
wants
to
move
to
a
city,
that's
divided!
M
I
I
just
want
to
also
echo
the
all
the
other
great
things
that
everyone
said.
Thank
you
so
much
to
you
and
your
family
for
your
sacrifice
and
commitment
to
our
community,
I'm
unfortunately
old
enough
to
remember
a
time
when,
when
we
in
the
community
didn't
feel
as
safe
and
we're
we're
all
very
thankful
for
all
that,
you
and
your
colleagues
do
to
to
help
keep
us
safe
and
just
want
to
say
you
know.
M
We
all
think
about
you
all
and
pray
for
you
that
you
all
stay
safe
and
come
back
to
your
families.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
R
R
You
know
why
you
received
the
officer
of
the
month
and
you
know
parts
are
in
my
district
and
you
know
areas
that
we
get
calls
for.
You
know
of
increases
in
crime
and
whatnot,
and
I
appreciate
that
you
answer
to
those
calls
and
and
respond
to
the
needs
and
and
requests
of
the
community,
and

you

You,

I

you
are
the

an
excellent

What

officer
I've
been
where
you've
been
before.
So
I
know
your

thoughts
are
going
through
your
mind
right
now.
What

I?
You
know
I
got
this
accolade.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
job
you've
done.
The
city's
citizens
of
tampa
really
appreciate
the
work
you

do
if
you'd
like
to
say
anything,
sir.
I
Yes,
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
for
your
recognition
today.
Thank
you
to
the
community
as
well
for
the
recognition
it's
very
humbling,
but
that
said,
this
is
not
my
work
alone.
I
could
not
have
done
this
without
first,
my
wife
danielle.
I
She
takes
care
of
our
our
four-year-old
and
our
two-year-old
and
without
her
support
and
her
steadfast,
you
know
devotion
to
our
family
and
our
kids.
I
couldn't
go
out
there
every
day
and
do
what
I
do
and
be
able
to
perform
the
way
that
I
do,
but
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
men
and
women
that
I
work
with
on
my
squad.
I
Everything
that
you've
read
today
or
on
that
paper
or
was
said,
I
didn't,
do
a
loan.
I
worked
with
the
great
men
and
women
of
tampa
police
department
and
unfortunately,
they
couldn't
be
here
today
and
they're
not
getting
the
recognition
that
they
deserve
as
well.
I
wanted
to
recognize
them
street
anti-crime
squad
131
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
my
supervision,
sergeant,
manny,
sabina
and
the
major
here
major
d
feliz.
He
was
just
here
I'd
like
to
thank
them,
for
you
know
putting
the
truck.
I
Once
again,
thank
you
to
my
family,
those
I
work
with
in
the
community
for
coming
out
and
and
saying
kind
words
and
and
doing
you
know
far
too
much
for
me.
I
appreciate
it.

and
rescue
road
technician
and
vehicle
and
machinery
rescue
technician.
D
D
D
Most
recently,
he
and
his
entire
crew
used
their
personal
time
to
complete
a
training
program
over
the
course
of
two
weeks
to
become
vehicle
and
machinery
rescue
technician,
enhancing
the
proficiency
at
which
firefighter
operates
during
technical
review
incidents
truck
21b
is
where
captain
robert
thomas
is.
He
is
currently
the
only
truck
company
in
the
city
of
tampa
where
every
member
holds
this
certification.
D
This
is
a
testament
to
captain
leadership
and
passion.
Although
he
had
an
entire
career
dedicated
to
improving
our
organization,
it
is
due
to
the
countless
hours
he
says
volunteered
to
develop
truck
company
operations,
training
for
his
ability
to
mentor
and
empower
his
fellow
firefighters
and
his
passion
for
helping
others
in
our
community.
C
City
council,
we
are
going
to
praise
this
firefighter
for
all
the
great
work
that
he
has
done
by
giving
him.
This
combination
tampa
city
council,
your
peers,
your
superiors
commend
you
for
the
dedication
to
service
commitment

beyond

call
of
duty.
You

been
selected
for
this
distinction.
As

Good
morning,
city,
council,
dustin
portillo,
with
casper's
company
mcdonald's
and
on
behalf
of
our
4
000
employees.
Here
in
tampa
and
jacksonville.
You
know
we
hear
about
firefighters,
rescuing
cats
from
trees
or
we
read
those
in
books
and
people
stuck
in
their
bathtubs.
But
we
don't
see
the
real
work
that
you
all
do.
So
it's
really
great
every
single
quarter
to
get
that
little
bio
about
what
you
do
and
how
significant
of
a
role
you
play
within
the
fire
industry
and
so
well.
I
I
Good
morning,
good
morning,
on
behalf
of
the
tampa
bay
buccaneers,
captain
and
myself,
because
I've
been
in
the
department
and
been
part
of
your
family
for
the
last
35
years,
thank
you
for
the
sacrifice
that
you
have
done
throughout
the
years
to
prove
yourself,
obviously
worthy.
I
am
leaving
you
my
business
card
because
we
couldn't
get
all
your
accolade
put
in
that
ball
fast
enough,
okay,
but
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
we're
actually
sending
you
a
honorary
ball,
okay
from
all
of
our
team,
so
congratulations.
I
N
Good
morning,
council,
we
have
a
name
with
tampa
theater
captain
on
behalf
of
tampa
theatre-
I'm
honored
to
be
here
today
to
give
you
the
gift
of
a
membership.
So
you
can
come
and
visit
us
on
franklin.
I
I
We're
going
to
provide
you
with
a
gift
certificate,
so
you
can
go
enjoy
yourself
over
there.
On
behalf
of
the
chicho's
restaurant
group,
we're
providing
you
with
the
gift
certificates
enjoy
breakfast
lunch
or
dinner,
and
the
yummy
house,
china,
bistro
and
I
know
oren
said
he
wanted
to
go
with
you
for
lunch
or
dinner.
So
when
you
know
about
that,
one
and.
C
Guys,
thomas
and
as
before,
the
strat
center
was
not
able
to
be
here.
You've
got
tickets
to
one
of
their
lovely
shows,
whether
it
be
the
jabe,
the
masani
or
another
theater
that
they
have.
They
got
seven
there,
but
they
wanted
me
to
let
you
know.
Okay,
now
it's
time
for
council
to
talk
to
you
come
on
up
here,
council,
please
any
questions.
I'm.
P
Thank
you
just
thank
you
for
your
years
of
service,
sir,
for
tampa
fire
rescue.
You
know
you,
you
just
heard
a
lot
of
you
know
good
words
from
a
lot
of
people
that
support
our
first
responders,
including
our
firefighters
and,
and
I
think
again
that
reflects
the
views
of
of
I
think
99
of
people
in
in
our
community
supporting
our
first
responders.
That
includes
our
police
officers,
our
firefighters
and
our
emergency
workers,
and
that
includes
you.
So
thank
you
for
your
service,
sir.
God
bless
you're.
Welcome.
Thank
you.
M
Just
to
echo
everything
everyone
else
said,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
service
and
for
helping
to
keep
us
safe.
Thank
you.
B
B
Well
again,
public
safety
is
is
number
one
in
the
city
without
the
firefighters.
I
understand
again,
I'm
so
grateful
when
they
would
help
my
dad.
So
I
understand
the
need
and
what
they
do.
So
we
just
say
thank
you
for
the
service,
and
I
know
chief
trump
has
got
a
handle
on
the
fire
department,
now
she's
doing
an
excellent
job.
So
again,
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
I
Okay
well
good
morning,
I'd
like
to
start
out
by
thanking
city
council
for
allotting
this
time
during
this
during
your
meeting.
C
Council,
if
I
may
take
one
moment,
mr
chair,
please,
if
I
may,
as
the
chairman
of
public
safety,
I
need
to
take
this
moment
and
make
a
statement.
Our
budget
is
coming
up.
Our
budget
review
is
coming
up
and
even
though
the
city
has
been
hit
hard
by
the
pandemic,
we
need
to
look
deeply
into
new
fire
stations
for
tampa
firefighters,
not
only
downtown
where
there
is
3
000
new
people
coming
in
to
this
city
with
water
works
also
north
tampa.
I
know
that
councilman
vieira
has
a
love
for
a
fire
station
new
tampa.
C
It
is
of
my
opinion
that
we
can
no
longer
do
with
what
we
have.
We
need
some
new
fire
stations
and
I
hope
we
take
a
long,
hard
look
at
our
budget
and
find
ways,
if
not
tomorrow,
within
the
next
few
years,
to
add
a
few
new
fire
stations
to
our
cities.
Again,
this
is
meant
to
offend
no
one,
but
this
is
reality.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
the
city
of
tampa
is
growing
rapidly
and
the
firefighters
not
only
need
the
brick
and
mortar
that
they
deserve,
but
the
equipment
they
deserve,
and
I
thank
you
for
everybody.
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair
chairman
goodes.
I
appreciate
that
sir,
it's
my
great
honor
to
give
a
tampa
city
council
commendation
today
to
a
gentleman
who
is
unfortunately
leaving
us,
mr
crew,
if
you
could
come
up
here
for
a
minute,
jim
crew,
I've
had
the
great
pleasure
of
knowing
jim
for
about
14
years
or
so
now
I
got
to
meet
jim
when
I
served
on
the
civil
service
review
board
and
I
immediately
took
a
liking
to
jim
he's,
a
nice
guy
as
I'll
talk
about,
but
first
some
background
on
jim.
P
P
Jim
served
in
three
different
branches
of
the
military,
including
the
army,
national
guard,
navy
and
air
force
reserve
for
23
years,
and
jim
comes
like
so
many
of
our
veterans
do
from
a
military
family.
His
son
has
served
in
the
navy
reserve.
He
has
two
brothers
who
served
including
one,
I
believe
who
was
in
vietnam
and
his
late
father
was
in
the
u.s
army
air
corps
and
always
loved,
seeing
if
you
all
ever
go
past
jim's
office,
you
see
a
beautiful
picture
of
his
father
and
he
looks
just
like
his
dad.
P
He
completed
his
master
of
divinity
degree
from
liberty
university
in
2014,
and
he
presently
serves
talk
about
first
responders
with
our
friends
at
pasco
fire
rescue
as
a
volunteer
chaplain
and
with
the
tampa
bay
regional
critical
incident
team.
He
has
been
married
to
his
wife,
maria
crew.
That's
a
wonderful
name!
That's
my
mother's
name,
maria
for
32
years,
and
he
has
a
son
and
a
daughter-in-law.
Now
you
know
the
jim
on
a
personal
level.
His
his
achievements
in
in
supporting
first
responders
and
in
uniform
and
for
the
city
of
tampa
are
great
but
jim.
P
On
a
personal
level.
Jim
is
a
gentleman.
He
is
a
kind
of
person.
I
couldn't
imagine
this
guy
ever
being
rude
to
anybody
at
all,
but
he's
also
a
gentle
man
that
is
he's
a
gentle
person.
Jim
is
a
very
very
gentle
person.
He
has
a
gentle
voice
and
I
really
really
do
believe
a
gentle
soul.
Jim
is
very,
very
humble,
jim's.
A
very,
very
humble
person
and
jim
is
a
patriot
who
really
really
loves
his
country
a
lot
and
has
family
service
that
recognizes
that.
P
But
the
real
core
of
jim,
I
think,
comes
from
his
religious
faith.
Jim
has
always
been
known
since
I
first
knew
him
and
he
always
has
been
known,
and
you
will
be
known,
probably
to
the
day
he
dies
as
a
very
dedicated
christian
who
lives
his
life
by
the
teachings
and
the
values
and
the
faith
of
jesus
christ.
That
is
what
really
really
matters
to
jim
and-
and
I
think,
that's
something
that
really
just
informs
the
kind
of
person
that
he
is
and
the
service
that
he
gives
to
our
city
and
to
our
country.
P
So
I
wanted
to
present
the
city
council
commendation
to
jim,
but
beforehand
afar,
and
we
have
our
clerk's
office
here.
If
ms
watch
knows,
if
you'd
like
to
come
up
here
and
speak
man
purely
you
may
go
for
it.
D
Good
morning,
council
shirley
fox,
no
city
clerk,
we're
really
going
to
miss
jim
jim
is
a
professional.
D
He
is
kind
and
hard-working
always
willing
to
help,
and
we
appreciate
that
we
appreciate
it
so
so
very
much
he's
helped
us
out
with
our
of
course
public
records
and
he
handles
the
multi-departmental
public
records
requests
and
the
other
departments
throughout
the
city
he's
just
been
wonderful
and
again
we
appreciate
him
and
always
willing
to
help
out
in
any
way
the
training
whatever
so
he's
a
inspiration
and
again
we're
going
to
miss
him.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
What
up
family?
Yes,
we
have
our
archives
and
records
division
here,
also
with
jennifer
and
allison,
of
course,
suleen
carencia
and
brittany.
So
we
have
a
few
others
too,
but
they're
here
right
now
we
have
a
wonderful,
wonderful,
wonderful
staff,
including
jim.
Thank
you
very.
P
Much
and
and
before
we
have
mr
cruz
speak,
you
know
it's
funny.
We
haven't
done
these
in
a
while.
The
city
council
speak
mr
chair
before
mr
crew.
P
P
I
Thank
you
all
very
much.
I
already
had
a
big
head
now,
it's
going
to
be
a
pumpkin.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
the
kind
words.
Thank
you
for
all
of
your
kindnesses
over
the
years.
It's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
all
of
you
and
now
that
I've
done
43
years
of
government
service
with
the
army,
navy,
air
force
and
city
of
tampa
it's
time
for
me
to
decide
what
I
really
want
to
do
when
I
grow
up.
I
So
that's
why
I'm
retiring
and
moving
on
to
whatever
the
lord
has
next,
but
it's
been
a
great
pleasure
to
work
with
all
of
you
and
thank
you
thank
you
for
all
that
you
do
for
the
city.
I
wouldn't
want
any
one
of
your
jobs.
I
Q
I'm
sorry
I
was,
I
was
looking
at
jim's
speech
and
I
I
thought
he'd
be
a
great
politician.
Q
He
might
be
leaving
us
to
run
for
office
somewhere
else.
I
think,
but
I've
known
him
for
most
of
his
career.
Now
I
got
him.
I
got
to
motivate
he's
coming
back
to
the
mic.
I
Yeah,
you
had
the
true
heroes
here
before
me,
the
first
responders,
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
continue
to
serve
them
in
my
retirement
as
a
volunteer
chaplain
with
fire
rescue
and
law
enforcement.
That's
my
my
dream
and
my
my
goal.
Q
All
of
the
city,
employees
are
heroes
and
the
way
they
work
and
the
way
that
they
do
things
to
help
everyone
else
in
the
city,
and
I
mean
that
sincerely,
no
matter
if
you
were
a
badge
or
you're
the
firefighter
or
you
a
delivery
person
or
you
work
in
records
or
you're
working
everywhere
else
and
record.
Keeping
is
one
thing
that
so
diligently
and
it's
so
much
needed,
because
when
you
want
a
record,
you
got
to
find
it
immediately.
Somebody
doesn't
plan
three
months
ahead.
Q
Hey
I'm
going
to
look
for
this
record
because
I
need
it.
They
asked
for
it
today
and
it's
got
to
be
delivered
quickly.
So
all
of
you
in
that
department,
thank
you
for
what
you
do,
and
jim
I've
known
you
for
most
of
your
career.
You've
been
a
one
of
the
star
wars,
you're
very
general,
individual
and
very
respectful
for
everyone,
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you've
done
for
all
your
career,
both
militarily
and
the
city
of
tampa.
Thank
you
and
best
of
luck
to
you
and
your
family.
B
I'm
going
to
go
down
to
limits,
because
that's
what
mr
sitro's
light
on
thank.
C
You,
mr
chair,
jim
I've,
been
with
the
city
in
one
form
or
another
for
16
years,
starting
with
the
civil
service
board,
going
on
the
variance
review
going
on
to
code
enforcement,
and
I
say
this
a
lot
and
I
mean
it:
everybody
who
works
for
the
city
of
tampa
is
family
and
you've
always
been
a
great
family.
Member
you've
always
helped
me
whenever
I
needed
something.
C
M
To
when
I
saw
the
announcement
the
other
day
that
you're
retiring,
I
was
really
sad.
You're
you're
great
to
work
with
you've
you've
helped
all
of
us
so
much
over
the
over
the
at
least
a
short
time.
I've
been
here
that
I've
seen
all
the
great
things
that
you've
done.
We
need
more
people
in
the
world
with
your
heart,
compassion
and
dedication,
and
I
really
look
forward
to
seeing
what
you're
going
to
do
next.
I
know
you'll
do
great
things
in
the
community
and
great
things
in
the
world.
M
R
Mascalco,
you
recognized
very
much.
You
know
great
appreciation
for
for
all
your
work,
you're,
a
very,
very
nice
man
and
very
humble
councilman
vera
said
it
all
you're,
a
gentle
soul,
and
I
think
when
people
meet
you
and
when
they
see
you,
they
know
that
you
know
that
that
you're
just
one
of
those
nice
guys-
and
we
appreciate
that.
But
we
also
have
to
remember
that
city
council
cannot
function
without
the
clerk's
office,
your
entire
team,
the
entire
family.
R
We
really
are
in
this
together
and
all
the
work
that
you
put
in
all
the
work
that
everyone
in
that
office
puts
in
to
allow
all
of
us
to
function
and
succeed
each
and
every
day.
So
I
wish
you
the
best
of
luck
and,
as
you
said,
whatever
the
lord
has
next
for
you.
I
hope
it's
may
you
live
to
be
a
hundred
years
old,
healthy
and
happy
and
and.
R
G
Thank
you
good
morning,
jim.
I
was
very
sad
to
see
that
memo
that
you
were
leaving,
but
I
understand
completely.
You've
served
our
country,
you've
served
our
community,
and
now
it
sounds
like
you're
gonna
go
off
and
serve
serve
the
lord
in
in
your
own
unique
ways,
and
we
appreciate
your
service.
So
much
and
you've
been
we've
been
fortunate
to
have
you
and
you've
been
fortunate
to
serve
with
these.

people,
especially
these
fine
ladies
shirley
and
suling,
and
and
sandy
and
the
rest
of
the
crew
for
so
many
years,
and
and
it's
a
great
it's
a
great
team
that
shirley
has
put
together
and
and
you'll
you'll
be
leaving
a
big
gap
there,
but
but
we
wish
you
well.
Thank
you,
jim.
B
Well,
you
know
mr
crew,
I
mean
from
the
moment
I
met
you,
humble
ready
to
work
ready
to
do
whatever
it
has
to
be
done,
especially
at
night
council.
B
I
remember
you
were
training
michelle
when
she
first
came
aboard,
that's
as
family,
it
showed,
you
know,
make
sure
she
had
it
and
by
golly
she's
got
it
now.
You
know
she's
on
her
own,
and
we
have
to
thank
you
for
that,
because
you
were
the
trainer
who
helped
her
out
on
that.
B
You
know,
like
mr
miranda
said,
everybody
in
this
city
is
family,
but
you
know
we
have
a
special
house
here
and
I
always
talk
about
protect
the
house
and
you
protected
this
house
alone
and
shirley
and
the
rest
and
that's
why
we
try
to
protect
you
guys,
because
we
know
you
protect
us
so
again
best
wishes
on
your
future.
Endeavors
and
again,
I
know
how
it
is.
When
you
say,
you're
retired
go
do
what
you
do
best
help
go,
have
fun,
god
bless
you.
I
I
just
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
thank
all
these
folks.
I've
worked
with
especially
shirley
best
boss
to
work
for
for
the
last
15
years.
I
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
boss
and,
as
I've
said
many
times,
I'm
the
only
thorn
on
the
bush,
but
I
just
wanted
to
thank
them.
I
would
be
remiss
also
if
I
didn't
thank
my
lovely
wife
who
couldn't
be
here
today,
but
she'll
be
here
tomorrow
when
we
go
and
see
the
mayor
thank
maria
for
32
years,
the
best
years
of
my
life.
B
B
D
F
F
B
B
P
Yes,
sir,
mr
chair,
thank
you
very
much.
It's
my
great
pleasure
here
today
to
be
with
some
wonderful,
wonderful
people
miss
kelly,
but,
and
you
know
what
before
we
begin
actually,
mr
chair,
we
had
a
a
two-minute
video
on
memorial
day.
I
would
like
to
ask
that
our
our
friends
begin
that
and
then
they
are.
S
The
difference
between
armed
forces,
day
veterans,

and
memorial
day,
wikipedia
says
armed
forces
day
is
celebrated
on
the
third
saturday
in
may
to
honor
americans,
who
are
currently
serving
in
the
five

branches

is
an
official
u.s
public
holiday
observed
annually
on
november
11th
that

that
is
persons
who
have
served
in
the
united
states
armed
forces
memorial
day,
is
a
federal
holiday
in
the
united
states.
For
remembering
the
people
who
died
while
serving
and
the
country's
armed
forces.
S
S
K
S
P
Thank
you
very
much
for
that,
and
we
have
some
very
special
guests
with
us
here
today.
We
have
who's
going
to
be
speaking,
miss
kelly
kowal,
who
is
a
local
gold,
star,
mother
and
just
a
great
american
who
operates
my
warriors
place
in
ruskin
to
help
veterans,
police
officers,
firefighters,
first
responders
and
their
families
suffering
from
ptsd.
P
We
also
have
with
us
here
today
annette
and
michael
kirk,
gold
star
parents
of
the
late
army,
private
first
class,
paul
o
kazupi,
the
the
second
who
was
killed
in
action
in
operation
enduring
freedom
they're
here
today
to
speak
about
memorial
day,
which
is
I
always
like
to
do
this
every
year
to
have
some
gold
star
parents
with
us
on
memorial
day
memorial
day
as
miss
colwall
will
speak
about
is
a
very,
very
somber
day.
It's
a
somber
day
to
these
families,
and
so
it
should
be
a
somber
day
to
all
of
us.
S
First,
I'd
like
to
thank
louis
vieira
for
inviting
us
here
today.
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
allowing
me
to
say
a
few
words.
As
lewis
said,
my
name
is
kelly
kowal
and
I
am
the
proud
gold
star
mother
of
specialist
corey
kowal
who
was
killed
on
a
combat
mission
in
afghanistan
on
september
20
2009.
S
While
it
has
been
over
11
years
since
my
son's
death,
it
doesn't
mean
that
I
don't
think
of
him
or
that
he
is
no
longer
in
my
life,
I'm
still
so
very
proud
of
him
for
being
able
and
willing
to
put
on
the
uniform
and
go
fight
for
our
freedoms.
We
have
as
americans,
and
I'm
also
so
very
grateful
that
there
is
one
day
one
special
day
that
is
dedicated
to
honor,
all
those
who
put
on
a
military
uniform
and
died
while
actively
serving
in
the
military
that
is
memorial
day.
S
Our
fallen
heroes
deserve
this
one
day
to
be
remembered.
It
is
also
hurtful
to
the
families
of
the
fallen
to
have
it
turned
into
veterans
day.
I
implore
everyone,
please
remember
the
differences
of
the
three
holidays
to
make
sure
that
those
who
died
while
serving
our
country
and
the
families
of
the
fallen,
have
this
one
special
day
and
don't
let
anyone
deserve
it
from
us.
Thank
you.
N
I
just
want
to
say
real
quick
that
every
memorial
day
at
3
p.m.
It's
just
a
moment.
R
P
And
I
just
wanted
to
thank
these
families
for
coming
here
today.
I
would
encourage
everyone
who's
watching
over
the
memorial
day
weekend.
I
know
there's
many
events
on
sunday.
I
believe,
there's
an
event
at
our
wonderful
veterans.
Hillsborough
county
park
on
monday,
which
is
memorial
day,
there's
an
event
at
post,
five,
american
legion
and
thereafter
another
event
near
the
riverwalk.
I
believe,
but
just
to
honor.
P
The
true
meaning
of
memorial
day
memorial
day
started
in
may
first
1865
in
charleston
south
carolina
when
a
group
of
of
african
americans
wanted
to
honor
about
257
american
soldiers
who
had
been
killed
in
action,
union
soldiers
who
had
been
killed
in
action
and
did
a
a
parade
and
then
decorated
their
new
graves,
and
it
was
called
decoration
day,
would
eventually
become
memorial
day,
but
the
meaning
for
us
today
is
very,
very
somber,
and
we
should
remember
that
every
single
day
thank
you.
R
Thank
you
very
much.
We
have
to
remember
that
that
each
and
every
day
is
memorial
day
and,
as
has
been
was
just
said,
you
know
we
may
not
know
them
they
that
have
sacrificed
for
us.
They
may
not
have
known
us,
but
they
gave
all
to
this
country
and
we
are
free
because
of
them
and
there's
a
saying
that
says:
we
die
twice
once
when
we
take
our
last
breath
and
another
time
when
someone
says
our
name
for
the
last
time.
R
So
when
we
remember
these
fallen
soldiers,
these
fallen
heroes
and
we
say
their
names,
we
keep
them
alive.
We
keep
their
spirits
alive,
knowing
that
they
did
not
die
in
vain.
That
their
sacrifice
is
what
keeps
america
free
our
country,
great
everything
that
have
give
they
have
given
to
us
because
they
gave
all
so
memorial
day,
is
a
is
a
somber
day.
It's
an
important
day
and
it
shouldn't
be.
R
M
I
I
have
three
sons,
and
so
these
these
stories
are
very
emotional.
For
me,
I
can't
imagine
the
things
that
you
and
your
families
went
through,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
sorry
to
tear
up
like
that.
M
I
just
want
to
thank
all
the
families
like
you
who
have
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice
for
our
country
and
our
world,
and
we'll
tell
you
that
my
three
sons
and
I
will
definitely
remember
your
children
and
the
children
of
the
others
out
there
and
we'll
be
thinking
about
you
all
on
monday
and
as
mr
matas
galco
said,
we'll.
Thank
you
every
day.
C
I
want
to
thank
you
and
all
the
gold
star
families
for
the
sacrifices
that
you've
given
for
the
burdens
that
you've
had
to
bear,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
the
brave
men
and
women
who
have
given
their
lives
for
my
freedoms,
for
my
abilities
to
be
able
to
say
the
things
I
want
vote
the
way
I
want
and
do
some
of
the
things
the
way
I
want.
I
thank
them
for
my
freedoms
and
I
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
think.
G
Q
Q
We
have
some
enormous
problems
in
this
country
that
we
haven't
caused
ourselves
and
from
outside
of
this
country,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
being
done
to
this
country
to
undermine
the
freedom
that
you
and
I
have,
and
we
have
it
only
because
someone
gave
their
life
so
that
you
and
I
can
have
an
expression
of
what
the
future
lies
for
our
children
and
without
that
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you.
Miss
vera.
You
mentioned
about
several
services.
On
monday,
I
will
be
attending
a
service
at
west
haven,
cemetery,
memorial
park,
cemetery
on
43rd
and
hannah.
B
Mr
melvin
collins
is
the
commander
of
the
post
and
his
nephew
michael
collins.
I
shared
with
him
at
the
police
department
and
I
was
honored
that
he
would
call
to
ask.
Would
I
be
a
guest
speaker
at
the
event
so
again,
if
those
folks
could
get
out
this
weekend
and
put
a
flag,
I
know
the
first
time
I
became
a
public
official.
I
went
out
there
and
put
flags
on
all
the
service
men's
graves
and
just
reading
the
stones
of
the
years.
B
P
B
B
B
All
right,
mr
shelby,
we'll
go
to
public
comment.
I
believe
we
have
a
few
how
many
we
have
downstairs.
B
E
History
has
told
us
that
the
struggle
for
african
people
in
this
country
is
an
ongoing
process.
One
year
after
george
floyd,
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
one
year
after
the
pandemic,
that
I
thought
softened
some
of
the
hearts
in
this
country.
This
dealing
with
some
of
the
disparities
that
exist,
but
we
see
still
see
existing
disparities
that
exist
in
our
community
in
terms
of
being
described
as
almost
a
humanitarian
crisis,
the
failure
of
so
many
schools
in
our
community
of
substandard
housing,
the
issues
of
just
being
a
food
desert.
E
I
come
this
morning
to
bring
to
your
attention
again
that
even
when
we
are
at
the
table
as
family-
and
I
hear
that
throwed
around
a
lot
this
morning
as
well-
that
the
families
in
east
tampa
have
not
been
able
to
benefit
from
cra
funds.
We
started
in
october
with
11
million
dollars
on
the
table.
Only
to
see
about
2
million
dollars
have
been
extracted,
many
of
it
for
services
that
was
already
allocated,
and
this
board
has
only
been
able
to
utilize
thousand
dollars
and
that's
one
upcoming
leadership
training
academy.
E
While
we
continue
to
talk
about
repairs
that
need
to
be
do
done
in
our
community,
while
we
watch
houses
in
our
community,
that's
selling
well
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
E
While
we
talk
about
having
a
down
payment
assistant,
a
program,
many
of
those
homes
that
are
being
built,
even
rehab
houses,
people
can't
utilize
that
assistance
fund,
and
so
it's
good,
seeing
all
seven
of
you
here
today,
because
the
community
has
been
making
these
starch
demands
only
to
be
pacified
by
staff
of
five
at
our
meeting
that
tell
us
that
it's
a
process,
and
so
eight
months
until
this
process,
the
families
of
east
tampa,
is
waiting
for
tangible
results,
and
I
want
to
thank
those
volunteers
in
our
community
that,
to
the
best,
their
ability
that
is
not
urban
planners
that
are
not
getting
paid.
E
A
dime
is
making
the
ultimate
sacrifice
to
see
how
we
can
continue
to
push
the
ball:
11
million
dollars,
only
2
million
dollars
being
spent,
and
only
50
000
of
that
has
been
toward
a
guaranteed
leadership
training
when
we
can
utilize
so
many
resources
to
uplift
our
community
toward
entrepreneurship
and
take
care
of
some
real
systemic
things
that
has
been
identified
over
and
over
again.
So.
D
Manchester
is
not
tampa
florida,
I
want
to
say
I
said
it
before.
I
said
again,
I'm
going
to
keep
saying
it
a
garbage
city
council.
I
don't
care
who
it
is
or
what
form
they
come
in.
They
don't
do
anything.
They
don't
do
anything
for
african
people.
Never
did
anything
for
african
people
we're
26
percent
of
this
population.
D
We
don't
enjoy
26
percent
of
the
goodness
these
these
fools
here
talking
about
memorial
day
and
what
it
means
and
what
it
means
in
the
context
of
people
going
in
war
and
being
aggressive
to
other
people
in
other
countries
and
talking
about
for
their
freedom
and
we're
right
here,
and
we
ain't
got
no
damn
freedom.
We
ain't
got
no
freedom.
We
ain't
got
no
rights.
We
ain't
got
no
civil
rights.
We
ain't
got
no
human
rights.
We
ain't
got
no
rights.
We
ain't
got
nothing
absolutely
positively,
nothing.
What
we
need.
D
What
we
african
people
need
is.
We
need
to
restart
this
memorial
day,
so
it
was
honorable
that
the
person
did
recognize
that
memorial
day
was
started
by
african
people,
but
we
need
to
restart
this
memorial
day
for
all
the
african
women
and
all
the
african
men,
all
the
african
mothers,
all
the
african
fathers.
That's
locked
up
in
these
stinking
prisons,
all
over
this
united
states
of
america.
That's
supposed
to
have
all
this
freedom,
it
ain't!
D
No
freedom
for
african
people,
we've
been
trying
to
get
freedom,
we've
been
begging
for
freedom,
we've
been
praying
for
freedom,
we've
been
trying
to
integrate
for
freedom,
we've
been
doing
different
things
to
get
some
freedom
to
get
a
semblance
of
freedom,
but
ain't,
no
freedom
for
african
people.
What
we
need
is,
we
need
our
reparations
and
we
need
a
nuclear
weapon.
D
We
need
our
reparations,
621
trillion
dollars
of
it
and
we
need
a
nuclear
weapon
that
black
nuclear
weapon
would
get
us.
The
respect
that
we
need
that
black
nuclear
weapon
would
keep
what
just
what
happened
in
palestine.
What
happened
in
palestine?
It
won't
happen
to
us.
You
understand.
It's
been
happening
to
us
for
621
years
all
over
this
world,
but
that
black
nuclear
weapon
in
our
hands
amongst
our
people
would
let
people
know
that
it's
time
for
us
to
be
respected,
it's
time
for
us
to
be
respected.
We
can't
keep
on
at
this
pace.
D
You
can't
live
your
life
from
zero
to
whatsoever
from
zero
to
death
and
never
see
any
semblance,
any
semblance
of
dignity,
any
semblance
of
dignity.
It's
always
one
thing
to
another
one
crisis
to
another:
you
understand.
If
it's
not
george
floyd,
it's
somebody
else.
It's
somebody
else.
It's
mr
green
dying
down
there
by
robles
park.
It's
other
things.
It's
always
going
on.
It's
ongoing
and
it's
ongoing.
D
It's
jonah's
being
shot
60,
something
time
by
that
same
garbage,
police
department,
y'all
had
sitting
up
in
the
other
day
or
it's
a
young
lady
dying,
because
the
paramedics
that
garbage
paramedics
won't
take
it
to
the
hospital
and
them
garbage
foods
got
their
jobs
back.
No
man,
we
need
reparations
and
we
need
a
nuclear
weapon.
E
Hi,
yes,
my
name
is
tiffany.
However,
I
go
by
cakes
making
moves
on
social
media
I'm
new
to
this.
However,
I
am
a
black
woman.
I
am
here
for
the
black
community.
E
I
just
met
miss
connie
and,
however,
I
say
that
I
stand
by
what
it
is
that
she
stands
for.
I
will
educate
myself
on
what
it
is
that
I
don't
know
in
order
to
help
our
black
community,
but
my
position
and
my
take
on
all
of
this
is,
if
we're
a
community,
it's
not
about
color
and
it's
not
about
race.
It's
about
unity,
no
matter
the
color
in
or
the
race.
E
E
If
that's
what
it
calls
for
my
take
on
it
is
we
have
a
lot
of
entrepreneurs
like
myself,
I
have
my
own
production
company
called
melanin
productions
and
we
have
a
lot
of
entrepreneurs.
I
have
six
entrepreneurs
from
the
age
of
15,
13,
9,
7,
4
and
2.,
and
we
have
to
put
that
in
our
children,
because
this
system
of
teaching
our
children
is
not
correct,
because
the
school
system
does
not
teach
us
about
credit.
The
school
system
does
not
teach
us
about
buying
property.
E
The
school
system
does
not
teach
us
about
a
lot
of
things
that
the
white
people
are
ahead
of
us.
Now,
when
I
say
white
people,
I
say
that
only
in
the
form
of
our
black
community
feel
like
the
white
people
have
so
much
power,
but
they
don't.
We
have
equal
power,
it's
all
about
knowledge,
okay,
and
when
we
have
knowledge,
can
nobody
take
anything
physically
away
from
us?
E
Without
your
permission,
and
that's
where
I
stand
now,
my
question
to
you
all
is:
what
do
we
need
to
do,
because
we
are
willing
to
do
what
needs
to
be
done?
I
don't
want
to
come
here
and
make
demands.
I
want
to
come
here
and
put
in
action
action,
so
all
I'm
asking
is
now:
where
do
I
go
from
here
to
start
the
process
of
working
together
for
the
community
and
that's
all
I
ask.
B
I
Two
yes,
sir
morning
chair,
this
is
celine
lucas,
deputy
city
clerk.
I
first
want
to
announce
that.
E
A
A
And
then
hi,
I'm
gene
strommeier
that
memorial
video
was
awesome.
It
brought
tears
to
my
eyes
and
I
would
ask
a
city
council
or
somebody
to
make
it
on
the
tampo
website
or
city
council
so
and
make
it
shareable.
It's
just
really
good,
and
I
would
like
to
share
that
on
my
social
media.
A
Let's
see
I
am
here
today
on
a
few
issues.
First,
I
sent
everybody
a
weekly
review
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there
was
one
item
that
I
spoke
about:
eight
and
nine
that
it
seems
may
have
come
across
as
some
maybe
prejudicial
or
maybe
offensive.
I
don't
know,
and
that
was
not
my
intention.
I
want
everybody
to
know.
I
have
like
no
prejudice
at
all.
I'm
married
23
years
ago
I
married
a
black
man.
A
So
frankly,
I
have
no
issues
that
was
before
it
was
in
vogue
and
I
loved
all
people,
so
I
just
want
everybody
to
be
created
and
to
be
treated
equally.
My
issue
yesterday,
I'm
calling
about
item
number,
let's
see
jesus,
I.
A
The
10-11
limiting
city
council
power-
I'm
not
quite
sure,
I
understand
that-
and
I
would
like
it
just-
doesn't
make
sense
that
you
know
government
people
don't
really
relinquish
power,
so
I'm
not
really
sure
what
that's
about.
I
would
like
some
more
information
on
that.
I
sent
a
email
on
that
to
everybody.
Also,
I'm
speaking
against
and
just
you
know.
I
know
this
is
workshop,
but
the
items
five
and
six
the
toilets
attack,
no
matter
how,
whatever
you
call
it
is,
I
think
it's
unnecessary,
expensive
and
pretty
disgusting.
A
Q
A
Of
water,
we
have
a
robust
rainy
season
most
of
the
time,
and
we
sometimes
have
46
days
of
just
straight
rain,
and
you
know
I
think
that
would
that
usually
makes
up
for
when
we
do
have
some
dry
seasons
like
we're
having
right
now,
there's
no
rain
at
all,
not
in
sight.
A
So
I
just
feel
that
to
take
into
account
that
and
yes
yeah
a
lot
of
people
that
they're
saying
a
lot
of
people
that
are
coming
here
are
gonna
leave
once
the
hurricane
season
starts,
they're,
not
familiar
with
the
hurricane
seasons.
I
had
a
friend
move
here
a
couple
years
ago
and
the
mosquitoes
alone
just
sent
her
back
to
nevada.
So
a
lot
of
people
go
back
or
they
call
them
half
packs,
we'll
see
how
that
goes
anyway.
I
think
that's
it.
B
F
B
B
B
D
D
D
S
C
N
B
N
B
N
this
the
subject
matter,
of
course,
when
you
have
a
bill,
should
only
be
of
one
subject
matter
and
this
bill
subject
matter
is
reclaimed
water.
However,
there
are
three
primary
areas
that
this
bill
covers,
and
one
is
the
reduction
in
elimination
of
discharge
of
effluent,
reclaimed
water
or
reuse
water
to
surface
waters.
N
The
bill
at
this
time
has
not
been
presented
to
the
governor,
at
least
not
as
my
last
check
of
the
internet
and
checking
with
some
of
the
folks,
and
it
would
become
effective
upon
becoming
law.
So,
under
the
constitution,
a
bill
becomes
effective
if
it's
presented
to
the
governor
during
the
course
of
the
legislative
session,
and
he
has
seven
days
to
act
on
it.
If
the
session
is
completed
or
if
there's
a
more
than
a
30
day
adjournment,
he
has
15
days
to
act
on
it.
N
N
N
N
We
have
to
identify
the
and
I'm
going
to
say
when
we
is
because
this
is
effective
and
applicable
to
the
city
of
tampa.
There
may
be
other
pieces
of
the
legislation
that
are
not
necessarily
applicable
to
the
city,
but
this
section
certainly
is
so.
The
plan
must
include
the
average
gallons
that
will
be
eliminated
from
the
surface
water
discharge,
the
date
of
such
elimination,
the
average
gallons
per
day
of
the
discharge
that
may
continue
if
it
falls
within
one
of
the
exceptions
here
under
the
legislation.
N
If
the
wet
weather
discharge
is
pursuant
to
an
fdep
permit
and
if
the
discharge
is
into
a
storm
water
system
and
used
for
irrigation
or
if
it's
reused,
90
percent
of
the
annual
average
flow
or
if
the
discharge
provides
direct,
ecological
or
public
water
supply
benefits
that
is
rehydrating
wetlands
or
mfl
recovery
or
prevention
strategy,
so
the
all
of
those
items
must
be
included
in
the
plan.
As
far
as
what
we
submit
to
dep
the
plan
must
include.
N
N
The
dep
must
take
action
on
the
plan
approve
or
deny
within
nine
months
after
the
receipt
of
the
plan.
The
dep
may
not
extend
the
time
for
the
receipt
of
the
plan,
nor
the
implementation
of
the
plan
and
the
dep's
decision
does
not
constitute
agency
action.
Therefore,
it's
not
challengeable
under
an
administrative
proceeding
under
chapter
120.
N
So
if
we're
I'm
going
to
take
hypotheticals
if
we
have
a
100
percent
annual
average
mgd
discharge,
if
we
reuse
90
of
that,
then
we
have
the
ability
of
of
including
that
in
our
plan
and
that
will
allow
us
to
not
necessarily
complete
the
the
plan
by
within
a
certain
date.
So
that's
one
of
the
items
that,
if
you
use
your
discharge,
if
you
reuse
90
of
your
discharge,
that's
a
benefit
to
use.
One
of
the
exemptions.
Q
N
N
Okay,
the
department
shall
approve
a
plan
that
includes
all
of
so.
This
is
one
of
the
things
that,
if
that's
included
in
the
plan
that
the
department
will
approve,
so
the
department
shall
approve
a
plan
that
includes
all
the
information
required
under
the
subsection
as
meeting
the
requirements
of
the
subsection
above,
if
one
or
more
of
the
following
conditions
are
met.
N
So
one
of
those
conditions
is
that
if
the
utility
operates,
a
domestic
wastewater
treatment
facilities,
water,
reuse
systems
that
reuses
a
minimum
of
90
percent
of
a
facility's
annual
average
flow,
as
determined
by
the
department
using
monitoring
data
for
the
prior
five
consecutive
years
for
reuse
purposes
authorized
by
the
department.
It
shall
approve
the
plan.
N
M
What
what
is
counted
under
that
so
one
of
the
proposals
that
that
is
going
to
be
discussed
later
is
treating
it
all
the
way
to
drinking
water
quality
standards.
So
if
so
two-part
question
is
the
partially
treated
water
we're
putting
in
that
that
counts
under
this,
and
if
we
treated
it,
excuse
me
if
we
treated
it
completely
drinking
water
standards
and
dumped
it
in
the
bay.
Do
we
still
have
to
file
this
report
because
of
the
source
of
it?
Is
it
the
source
of
it
or
how
well
it's
treated
at
the
other
end.
N
It's
actually
because
it's
not
reused,
so
it's
determined
it's
predetermined
that
because
it's
reclaimed
water,
it's
advanced,
treated,
reclaimed,
water,
that's
going
into
the
bay
it's
not
being
used
for
a
beneficial
purpose,
it's
just
being
discharged
into
a
surface
water.
Then
we
have
to
have
a
plan.
N
So
if
we,
if,
for
instance-
and
I
know
I'm
jumping
ahead-
but
for
instance,
if
we
find
a
project
that
incorporates
the
use
of
all
or
a
portion
of
that
reclaimed-
water,
which
is
what
we
would
have
to
put
in
our
plans
to
be
submitted
to
dep,
then
we
would
be
in
compliance
with
a
statute.
That's
newly
created
under
this
legislation,
but.
M
One
last
following:
if
you
know
one
of
the
possibilities
is
that
we
could
talk
to
tampa
bay
estuary,
and
they
could
say
that
the
flow
of
this
water
is
beneficial
to
the
estuary
and
and
life
in
the
bay.
Is
that
an
acceptable
form?
Are
they
discounting
that
completely
and
say
we
have
to
use
it
for
some
other
purpose.
N
N
Q
C
Miss
mclean
just
just
for
the
people
that
are
watching
in
the
audience
who
are
saying
what
what
are
they
talking
about?
What
do
we
do
with
our
water,
this,
this
type
of
water
with
our
reclaimed,
water
people
are
saying:
oh,
they
just
dump
it
into
the
bay.
But
can
you
can
you
just
explain
what
we
normally
do
with
this
type
of
water.
N
N
We
do
provide
reclaimed
water
for
some
industries
over
in
the
port
area
and
we
do
provide
reclaimed
water
to
the
aviation
authority
for
the
airport
property
and
I'm
sure
there
are
other
properties
as
well.
So
we
we
do
have
reclaimed
water
use
for
industrial
and
irrigation
use.
However,
we
we
don't
use
all
of
it,
and
so
the
remainder
of
that
wastewater,
that's
treated.
An
advanced
treatment
is
discharged
into
a
into
hillsborough
bay.
C
So
we
we
can
argue,
we
meaning
the
city
could
argue
that
this
reclaimed,
water,
that
we
have
been
filtering
back
into
the
bay,
is
better
than
any
type
of
storm
water,
just
water
running
off
the
lands
of
for
your
fertilizer,
free
of
of
oils
and
all
type
of
other
minerals
that
may
go
into
the
bay,
and
we
could
also
argue
that
our
bay
is
probably
the
cleanest.
C
It's
been
in
the
last
40
years
because
of
this,
and
we
can
also
argue
that
there
are
people
that
don't
live
in
the
city
of
tampa
who
probably
live
in
other
cities
around
the
florida,
I'm
getting
to
a
point,
they're
dictating
what
the
city
of
tampa
is
doing.
So
we
can
argue
that
this
is
violating
home
rule
I'll
stop
there,
and
all
you
have
to
do
is
just
yeah
nod
yes
or
no.
N
I'll
just
move
on
to
the
next
section.
Thank.
C
You,
okay,
I
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
mean
to
get
you
in
the
crosshairs
of
my
my
home
rule,
but
just.
N
B
Q
Q
Sister
just
said
it's
my
knowledge,
my
understanding
from
what
I've
I've
gathered
that
the
the
bay
now
is
just
as
clean
as
it
was
in
the
50s
and
that
the
amount
of
acreage
is
equal
to
sums
equal
to
or
greater
than
because
of
the
water
we
put
in
there,
and
I
believe
that
was
said
here
years
ago
and
I'm
not
certain
as
far
as
the
actual
numbers,
but
from
what
I
remember
the
city
of
tampa
has
done
an
outstanding.
This
is
an
advanced
tertiary
treatment
plant,
not
just
a
treatment
plant.
Q
This
is
something
that
the
city
of
tampa
has
that
few
others
in
this
area
has-
and
I
hope
I'm
correct.
That's
what
has
my
understanding
that
this
advanced
t-shirt
treatment
plan
happened
way
back
in
dick
reckless
first
administration,
when
there
was
a
200
million
dollar
grant
given
to
this
city
and
another
city
across
the
bay,
and
I'm
not
going
to
name
it
and
they
chose
to
go
into
a
distribution
system
which
is
fine.
Q
Mayor
greco
chose
to
expand
the
plant
by
30
million
gallons
or
35
million
gallons
capacity,
and
that's
why
we
have
the
capabilities
of
increasing
the
amount
of
reek
of
let's
face
it
of
number
two
water
and
number
one
water
and
all
dirty
waters
that
go
through.
That
comes
out
at
the
other
end
of
that
howard.
Current
tertiary
treatment
plant
as
pristine
as
you
can
drop
a
dime
from
18
feet
down
and
watch
a
dime
go
all
the
way
down.
Q
Q
But
the
city
of
tampa
sits
on
a
vast
amount
of
about
55
to
60
million
gallons
a
day
of
reclaimed
water
that
it's
using
now
to
stabilize
the
bay
and
has
done
that
for
many
many
years
and
all
the
mayors
have
done
that
continue.
That
process
and
it's
a
credit
to
every
mayor
that
served
the
city
of
tampa
that
they
had
the
foresight
and
the
vision
to
do
that.
And
I
want
to
thank
all
the
mayors
and
all
the
citizens
for
doing
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
Yeah
just
real
fast.
Thank
you,
sir
one.
Anybody
watching
this
who
doesn't
want
to
drink
poopy
water,
please
call
the
governor
and
anybody
who
wants
to
protect
home
rule
and
allow
city
councils
to
listen
to
the
local
population.
Please
call
the
governor
and
ask
him
to
veto
this,
but
but
the
second
thing
and
we
can
get
into
the
weeds
more
later,
but
it
sounded
like
at
the
beginning.
There
was
an
environmental
exemption
and
I
know
later
we're
going
to
talk
about
minimum
flows
in
the
river
and
also
saltwater
intrusion.
M
But
do
you
think,
hypothetically
that
an
argument
could
be
made
that,
based
on
what
ms
miranda
just
said,
that
that
this
cleaned
water
being
put
into
the
bay
has
helped
rejuvenate
the
bay
and
and
and
my
other
colleagues
said
that
the
bay
is
better
than
it's
been
in
40
years
I
mean.
Could
we
not
make
the
argument
that
it's
already
an
environmental
benefit
and
not
have
to
spend
a
billion
dollars.
N
And
I
think
that
the
upgrade
of
I
know
that
the
upgrade
of
the
howard
f
current
plant
was
the
beginning
of
the
recovery
of
tampa
bay,
and
we
have.
We
did
achieve
the
acres
of
seagrasses
that
were
there
in
the
bay
as
of
1950
up
until
a
couple
of
years
ago,
the
past
couple
of
years,
and
I'm
sure
that
everybody
has
seen
the
press
releases.
N
We've
we've
lost
some
acreage
in
very
specific
locations,
and
we've
got
there's
an
awesome
organization
that
the
city
has
always
been
a
participant
in
called
the
nitrogen
management
consortium,
which
is
a
part
of
the
tampa
bay
estuary
program.
We
just
met
yesterday
to
talk
about
that
specific,
among
other
things,
about
the
the
status
of
the
sea
grasses
and
what
could
be
occurring
that
could
be
affecting
them
to
that.
N
We
were
seeing
the
loss
so
and
it's
not
in
the
locations,
necessarily
of
truthfully
of
of
where
current
is
obviously
and
they'll
be
more
discussion
as
far
as
what
that
discharge
does
or
does
not
provide
to
the
bay
as
we
move
along.
But
the
the
focus
of
the
bill
is
essentially
not
just
our
discharge,
but
other
discharges
which
may
or
may
not
come
be
of
the
level
of
the
quality
of
water,
that's
being
discharged
into
the
bay.
N
It's
the
mere
fact
that
it's
being
discharged
and
not
used
in
the
beneficial
manner
that
the
legislature
has
identified
thinking
that
it
should
be
used,
whether
it's
reclaimed
water
for
irrigation,
whether
it's
reclaimed,
water
for
indirect
or
direct
potable
reuse,
whether
it's
for
environmental
restoration
for
wetland
enhancement
or
restoration,
whether
it's
to
meet
a
recovery
or
prevention
strategy
for
a
minimum
floor
levels.
All
those
uses
have
been
identified
as
being
beneficial
to
use
the
discharge
that
is
not
now
otherwise
being
used
in
that
manner.
N
So
that's
the
focus
of
what
the
bill
does
is
take
your
discharge,
whoever
you
are,
and
to
whatever
level
you're,
treating
it
and
use
it
in
a
manner.
That's
beneficial,
and
here
are
some
ideas
on
how
you
could
use
it,
and
so
then,
I'm
putting
this
in
plain
english
now.
So
then,
if
you
have,
this
then
submit
a
plan
to
the
dep
by
number.
N
So
that's
the
that's
the
core
of
the
first
section
which
everybody
is
focused
on
and
is
the
one
that
that
has
drawn
the
most
attention
as
far
as
getting
having
local
governments
implement
these
types
of
projects.
N
We
can
always
go
back
and
ask
if
you'd
like
if
something
comes
to
you
and
we
can
go
into
the
more
detail,
but
the
second
section
actually
is,
interestingly
enough
is
focused
on
potable
reuse.
So
potable
reuse
has
been
identified
in
the
legislation
that
can
be
used
as
a
source
of
water
to
assist
meeting
future
water
demands.
N
Interestingly
enough,
though,
this
is
just
where
I
look
at
the
details,
so
the
mou
must
be
entered
into
by
december
31st
of
23,
but
a
local
government
has
to
provide
a
plan
to
dep
by
november
of
this
year.
So
if
we
had
a
project
that
incorporated
potable
reuse
and
we
wanted
to
avail
ourselves
of
the
expedited
permitting
that
might
be
be
allowed
under
this
mou,
that
might
not
be
in
existence
for
another
two
years.
N
N
N
In
order
to
qualify,
the
developer
or
homeowner
must
certify
that
the
to
the
applicable
government
agency
that
they're
part
of
their
application
for
the
developer,
approval
or
amendment
is
25
of
a
single
family.
Residence
is
a
part
of
the
development
that
each
will
have
its
own
gray
water
system.
It's
not
a
gray
water
system
that
goes
from
house
to
house.
It's
not
like
a
reclaimed
water
system.
Each
residence
would
have
its
own
gray
water
system
for
its
own
use.
N
N
M
Just
one
thing-
and
maybe
this
is
a
question
for
ian
and
marley
instead
of
you,
but
I
apologize
if
it
is,
but
I've
heard
from
lots
of
lobbyists
around
tallahassee.
That
senate
president
pushed
this
through,
wouldn't
allow
questions
in
committee
and
as
often
as
the
case,
we've
seen
some
examples
this
year
once
somebody
a
leader
pushes
something
through
it's
very
possible
that
in
the
next
year
the
year
after
that
would
be
withdrawn.
M
N
Well,
that
would
be
really
speculative
on.
On
my,
I
can
tell
you
that,
in
the
course
of
my
career
and
in
the
participation
in
the
legislative
process,
if
you
have
a
speaker
or
a
president
that
has
put
the
weight
of
his
office
behind
a
bill
and
has
it
passed,
I
wouldn't
want
to
speculate
that
it
would
be
repealed.
M
If
we
think
it's
going
to
be
withdrawn
a
year
or
two
from
now,
then
then
maybe
we
could
do
the
basic
we
need
to
comply,
but
this
is
a
you
know
over
a
20-year
period,
this
is
like
a
billion
dollar
investment
for
our
taxpayers,
ratepayers
and
and
if
it's
we've
seen
over
and
over
again
policies
in
tallahassee,
they
pass
and
then
next
administration,
undoes
them,
and
so
the
people
who
jump
first
with
the
big
expenditures
sometimes
get
cheated
out
of
it.
M
N
You
know
that
you
wouldn't
want
to
ignore
hoping
speculatively
that
something
would
happen
to
affect
the
legislation
in
later
years.
For
instance,
we
have
this
plan,
you
know,
albeit
a
plan,
it's
still
going
to
take
resources
to
put
the
plan
together
and
make
the
identification.
Luckily,
we've
been
working
on
things
that
potentially
could
incorporate
our
reclaimed
water,
so
we're
probably
in
a
better
place
for
submitting
a
plan
than
a
lot
of
other
local
governments,
but
you
wouldn't
want
to.
I
would
never
advise
that
we
wait
to
see
if
anything
would
happen
in
tallahassee.
I
H
Good
morning,
city
council,
I
appreciate
your
time
this
morning
to
talk
further
about
reclaimed,
water,
reuse
topics
and
you've
heard
some
introductory
information
from
jan
on
that
regarding
the
legislation
we're
here
this
morning
with
a
number
of
outside
consultants
who
we
will
introduce
as
we
go
forward,
we
also
have
a
couple
of
folks
from
different
states.
H
I'm
gene
duncan
administrator
of
infrastructure
mobility
and
just
want
to
give
a
very
quick
recap
on
what
kind
of
got
us
to
this
point
in
terms
of
having
this
workshop
today
and
then
I'll
hand
off
to
others
to
go
into
some
of
the
details
that
we
have
to
share
with
you
this
morning,
we
did
provide
two
separate,
very
free,
powerpoint
presentations
of
your
convenience
for
each
of
the
portions
of
the
workshop
today
that
encompassed
the
expert
panel
that
we
had
giving
an
outside
look
at
some
of
our
data,
as
well
as
the
alternative
analysis
information
that
we've
been
working
on
as
well,
so
very
quickly,
just
to
kind
of
go
back
starting
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
of
preceding
that,
we
submitted
an
application
spokesman
for
cooperative
funding
for
a
porteries
project
that
we
are
now
calling
pure,
and
we
came
to
you
in
january
to
give
some
details
about
that
concept,
and
we
also
at
that
time,
if
you
recall,
requested
a
very
large
amount
of
funding.
H
Ten
million
dollars
for
the
planning
and
design
of
this
project
and
through
substitute
discussions
with
spook
mud
as
well
as
guiding
some
from
your
body.
We
realized
we
didn't
need
to
take
that
big
of
a
bite
of
the
apple
right
off
the
bat
with
that
request,
and
so
we
scaled
back
our
request
to
650
000,
and
that
february
we
came
back
with
that:
revised
funding
allocation
request
and
again
through
conversations
with
all
of
you
on
the
city
council,
we
agreed
that
it
was
true
for
us
to
do
a
more
detailed
alternative.
H
And
as
well
as
having
a
an
independent
body,
look
at
some
of
the
data
that
we
had
already
produced
that
would
be
utilized
to
develop
our
concepts
even
further.
So
we
appreciate
your
input
on
those
topics,
and
so,
since
february
we
have
been
working
on
the
alternative
analysis.
H
We've
worked
to
put
together
the
independent
advice
panel.
H
We're
also
also
excuse
me
working
on
public
engagement
to
get
some
feedback
from
the
public
on
this
topic
fun
to
share
with
you
next
month,
and
we
continue
to
work
with
swift
mud
on
cooperative
funding
for
a
thirty
percent
for
the
thirty
percent
design,
and
also
for
permitting
activities,
those
being
developing
information
that
we
would
need
to
ensure
that
our
project
is
and
fully
understanding
what
the
requirements
would
be
to
permit
this
type
of
project.
H
So
again,
we
appreciate
the
input
you've
given
us
on
putting
together
an
independent
panel.
That
panel
is
the
national
water
research
institute
nwri,
as
we
affectionately
call
them,
and
we
appreciate
all
the
time
they
have
spent
to
review
the
information
that
we've
shared
with
them
and
to
give
us
some
feedback
on
our
technical
documents.
H
We
also
reached
out
to
local
environmental
stakeholders
and
again
we
appreciate
the
input
we
received
from
many
of
you
on
who
those
individuals
should
be
who
those
agents
you
should
be
so
we're
working
with
the
sierra
club,
friends
of
the
river
and
legal
women
voters,
and
that's
been
our
group
to
be
identified
as
our
local
environmental
stakeholders
who
we
have
been
appreciative
of
carrier
input
and
working
with
them.
H
So
we
requested
input
from
them
and
received
questions
based
on
the
information
we've
been
able
to
share
thus
far
with
those
folks,
as
well
as
our
independent
advisory
panel
members
and
we've
had
a
number
of
meetings
with
both
groups
coordinate
the
information
that
we
were
seeking
from
them.
We
also
conducted
a
half
day
workshop
with
the
independent
advisory
panel
of
experts,
which
was
very
productive.
H
We've
also
been
working
with
our
consultants
to
evaluate
a
full
set
of
alternative
options
for
a
water
reuse
project
we've
had
several
meetings
and
end
up
selecting
a
couple,
different
consultants
who
brad
will
introduce
to
you
shortly
and
shared
with
them.
The
problem
that
we
were
trying
to
solve
with
this
project
to
get
their
thoughts
and
input
on
what
types
of
alternatives
should
be
considered
going
forward.
H
All
this
time,
we've
kept
our
environmental
stakeholders,
surprised
for
project
or
progress,
excuse
me
and
have
regular
meetings
with
that
group
to
keep
them
informed
and
to
continue
to
hear
their
input
and
suggestions.
H
H
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
ask
brad
to
give
you
a
little
more
detail
of
what
we're
presenting
today,
introduce
you
to
some
of
the
experts
we
have
here
in
the
room
with
us,
as
well
as
on
the
phone,
and
I
look
forward
to
discussing
these
details
further
as
we
get
through
the
two
brief
presentations
we
have
for
you
today,
fred.
T
Thank
you
jane
good
morning,
city
council,
brad,
baird,
deputy
administrator
of
infrastructure,
the
order
of
the
presentations
today,
the
first
presentation
will
be
from
nwri
and
the
independent
advisory
panel.
That
was
selected
and
the
second
presentation
will
be
the
alternatives.
Analysis.
T
Actually,
the
draft
results
of
that
alternatives,
analysis
and
then,
as
gene
just
said,
we'll
provide
an
up
update
on
the
public
outreach
efforts
will
be
on
city
council
workshop
for
june
24th
and
then,
finally,
after
you
hear
the
nwri
presentation,
you
may
want
to
consider
hearing
an
update
on
the
nwri
final
results
at
the
june
workshop.
T
T
This
this
work
is
not
not
the
end
and
that's
something
the
environmental
stakeholders
be
bringing
up
it's
the
beginning
of
more
work
to
develop,
plan
design
and
build
the
pure
project
whatever
it
is
up
here,
so
is
to
make
sure
first
that
the
scientific
word
performed
today
is
sound
and
then.
Secondly,
the
iap's
role
is
not
to
improve,
approve
or
disapprove
any
project,
but
to
make
recommendations
on
how
to
improve
it,
to
ensure
public
and
environmental,
health
and
safety.

He

and

authority,
and
he
is
joining
us
today
to
talk
about
the
nw,
ri
independent
advisory
panel
process,
and
then
we
will
also
introduce
the
chairman
of
the
independent
advisory
panel.
Glenn
dagger
and
flynn
would
come
up
on
the
screen
as
well.
T
O
We
look
forward
to
being
there
with
you
in
person
soon
and
wish
we
could
have
been
there
today,
but
video
will
have
to
do
so.
Let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
nwri
underground
was
founded
in
1991
by
forward-thinking
citizens.
Here
in
southern
california,
we
are
a
c
3,
non-profit,
that's
based
in
fountain
valley,
which
is
a
city
in
central
orange
county,
we're
governed
by
a
six-member
board
of
directors,
which
is
comprised
of
both
elected
and
appointed
officials
who
serve
agencies
across
the
los
angeles
and
orange
county
groundwater
basin.
O
Our
founders
possessed
a
shared
vision
for
an
institute
without
walls,
an
intentionally
diverse
community
of
thought,
leaders
friendly
to
innovators
and
focused
on
improving
water
resources,
science,
technology
and
policy
to
create
new,
healthy
sources
of
water
to
support
rapidly
growing
regions
like
tampa
today,
30
years
later,
the
sun
never
sets
on
end
of
eyes
work
around
the
globe.
In
fact,
in
addition
to
this
great
work
we're
doing
in
florida,
we

O
L
Thank
you
kevin
just
make
sure
that
my
voice
is
coming
through
with
the
system
here,
your
father,
okay,
great,
so
I
will
say
first
of
all
for
the
panel
that
we
all
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
of
service.
Looking
at
this.
L
Looking
at
this
very
interesting
and
innovative
approach
to
to
managing
quite
a
complex
set
of
water
supply
and
environmental
issues
as
kevin
articulated
mr
baird
beforehand,
our
role
is
to
to
look
at
what
is
being
proposed
here
and
and
provide
our
our
expertise,
our
knowledge
and
our
analysis,
in
terms
of
particularly
where
it's
at,
but
in,
but
more
more
so
the
things
that
can
be
done
to
further
improve
it.
L
It's
obvious
that
I
think
it's
been
articulated
that,
while
there's
been
significant,
work
done
some
components,
it's
still
in
a
formative
stage,
so
I
think
for
the
panel,
we're
really
very
appreciative
to
be
involved
at
this
point
in
time
to
to
to
lend
some
assistance
to
the
city,
as
it
looks
to
take
this
concept
and
and
further
develop
it.
So
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,.
L
The
next
slide
lists
our
our
brief.
What
we're
being
asked
to
do,
which
is
to
review
and
assess
the
scientific,
technical
and
policy
validity
of
the
tampa
pure
project,
evaluate
the
tampa
pure
product
water
quality
for
its
suitability
as
a
resource
for
the
lower
hillsborough
river
minimum
flows
and
the
hillsborough
river
reservoir
augmentation
then
review
and
assess
the
scientific
and
technical
validity
of
the
siwot
groundwater
model,
which
is
the
mathematical
model,
that's
being
used
to
evaluate
the
recharge
and
recovery
of
the
water
up
adjacent
to
the
hillsborough
river
and
hillsborough
river
reservoir.
L
The
way
we
are
specifically
do
doing
this,
the
city
of
tampa
working
with
nwri,
has
crafted
this
into
four
specific
questions.
L
So
what
you
will
see
from
us
in
the
report
will
be
an
introduction
and
and
recommendations,
probably
a
bit
of
a
summary
and
then
recommendations
and
then,
following
that
four
specific
sections
specifically
addressing
each
of
these
four
questions
with
a
response
with
the
narrative
and
then
the
recommendations
that
come
from
that.
L
So
that's
that's
the
process
that
that
we're
following
in
terms
of
progress,
as
was
indicated,
the
the
first
meeting
of
the
panel
with
staff
was
may
the
13th.
L
We
were
given
some
material
before
that
about
a
week
before
that,
so
where
the
where
the
panel
is
at
is
just
in
the
detailed
phase
of
our
analysis
and
beginning
by
the
individual
panel
members
to
assemble
their
comments
and
analysis
which
we'll
be
putting
into
a
into
the
draft
report
this
next
week.
L
We
will
have
that
assembled
and
then,
as
a
panel
we'll
be
collaboratively.
Looking
this
to
move
towards
our
consensus
report,
this
is
a
consensus
report,
so
it
it
will.
What
we
will
provide
to
you
is
the
consensus
of
the
group.
If
there
are
differing
opinions,
we'll
indicate
that,
but
the
intent
is
to
come
to
a
a
consensus
as
much
as
possible
in
terms
of
responding
to
these
questions,
we'll
provide
that
to
staff
for
any
clarifications
and
then
issue
a
final
report.
I
think
there's
another
slide.
L
So,
and
this
just
summarizes
what
I've
given
you
as
an
overview
here,
so
at
the
present
time,
we
are
gathering
comments
and
an
analysis
from
the
panel
drafting
that
into
report
and
the
going
through
the
process
of
reaching
consensus
clarifying
with
the
city
that
we
have
understood
the
situation
and
then
issuing
a
final
report
by
the
end
of
june.
L
We
are
not
going
to
respond
to
those
specifically,
but
that
will
inform
our
analysis
to
to
see
that
we
have
responded
to
those,
at
least
in
in
content
and
in
spirit,
in
the
the
context
of
our
overall
report
and
again,
you
will
have
that
by
the
end
of
june.
L
So
that's
where
we're
at
again,
I
think
from
the
panel's
perspective
in
in
our
internal
discussions,
we're
quite
pleased
to
be
at
this
stage
of
the
project
at
a
point
where
we,
where
our
experience
tells
us
that
we,
we
can
often
times
be
quite
helpful
in
terms
of
that
outside
view
of
very
experienced
people
to
offer
offer
suggestions
in
terms
of
the
things
that
can
be
done
to
at
this
point,
further
clarify
and
and
identify
the
strongest
project
to
the
city
of
tampa
for
your
consideration.
L
So
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
respond
to
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
Thank
you.
B
That
geiger,
I
believe
mr
dingfellow-
will
be
first
we'll
be
recognized.
We'll
go,
mr
carlos.
I
think
mr
randy
here's
your
hand
up,
sir
okay,
we'll
go
over
mr
dingfield,
mr
carlson
and
mr
vera
will
be
last.
Thank.
G
You,
mr
chairman,
thank
you,
dr
dagger.
Is
it
dagger.
G
You
go
drop
the
a
okay,
dr
dyger,
one
of
the
concerns
I've
had
all
along
on
this.
This
project,
or
this
proposed
project,
is
the
the
impact
or
potential
impact
on
on
our
unique
karst
geology
and
and
and
I'm
sure
that
staff
shares
that
concern.
I
know
there
have
been
many
studies
over
the
years.
G
I
did
not
see
that
in
your
list
of
the
three,
the
three
main
subjects
that
you
were,
that
that
were
on
your
list
and
mr
hardy
feel
free
to
to
chime
in
as
as
well
and
or
mr
baird,
but
if
it's
not,
if
it's
not
on
the
list,
I'd
like
to
see
it
added
to
the
list,
brad
and
and
gene,
so
somebody
help
me
out.
Is
it
on
the
list
and
if
not,
would
it
be
a
big
deal
to
add
it
to
the
list?
G
L
The
the
simple
answer
is
that
it
is
there.
It
is
part
and
parcel
the
the
key
words
are
the
early.
Some
of
the
key
words
are
the
evaluation
of
the
see
what
model,
but
this
this.
This
is
a
mathematical
model
for
for
that,
for
that
aquifer
system
and
the
portion
of
it
that
would
be
influenced
by
the
the
recharge
in
recovery,
so
obviously
to
review
the
model.
We
need
to
review
those
and
and
are
reviewing
the
the
impacts.
L
So,
although
the
words
are
not
specifically
there,
it
is
absolutely
a
portion
of
it
as
well
as
as
well
as
physical
chemical
changes
that
would
occur
because
that
that's
part
and
parcel
to
the
to
the
analysis
as
well
as
the
water
coming
out
any
you
know.
Biological
chemical
physical
reactions
affect
the
quality
of
the
water
coming
out,
which
then
affects
its
its
its
impacts
on
the
on
the
river
and
the
reservoir.
G
Okay,
I'm
obviously
not
not
overly
well
versed
in
in
what
the
sea
watt
model
is,
but
but
I
I
appreciate
your
answer
and
I
will
look
very
very
closely
at
the
at
the
preliminary
and
final
reports
to
to
make
sure
that
the
my
questions
and
the
community's
questions
are
answered
and-
and
I
am
very
concerned
about
the
not
only
the
physical
dynamics
of
the
karst
geology,
but
also
the
chemical.
You
know
anti-chemical
impacts
as
well.
So
thank
you.
T
Councilman,
I
could
add
that
two
of
the
members
on
the
panel.
G
M
It's
called
yes,
sir.
Thank
you,
dr
deuger.
Thank
you
for
doing
this.
Thank
you
for
working
on
this
committee.
I
listened
to
almost
all
the
committee
meeting
the
other
day.
It
was
what
was
it
like
three
or
four
hours,
and
I
was,
I
just
want
to
tell
the
water
staff
city
water
style.
I
was
very
impressed
with
the
people
on
the
committee
and
and
to
your
organization.
Also
I
should
say
thank
you.
It
was
a
diverse
group
of
people.
M
I
had
a
lot
of
confidence
in
the
people
that
were
around
the
table.
They
asked
very
tough
questions.
M
One
person
asked
a
question
about
arsenic,
for
example,
they
were
talking
about
the
karst
environment
because
you
have
different
specialists,
they
all
had
different
perspectives
on
on
looking
at
this,
and
so
I
think
that
that
this
committee,
reviewing
this
with
the
committee,
is
a
great
idea.
It
is
at
least
from
the
first
meeting.
I
listened
to
providing
objectivity.
M
I
talked
to
some
folks
in
the
in
the
community
who
also
listened
to
it
and
they
had
a
degree
of
confidence
with
the
committee.
That's
listening
to
this
and
I
look
forward
to
the
report.
My
concerns
about
it.
If
I
could
just
list
three
concerns
and
then
maybe
dr
dyger
somebody
could
respond
one
of
dr
dyer.
One
of
the
questions
that
I
had
going
back
months
ago
is
is
pure
a
process
or
a
project.
M
I
don't
know
if
you
heard
the
presentation
earlier,
but
if
we
do
this,
it
will
be
in
part
because
the
state
is
forcing
us
to
do
it,
and
so,
if
the,
if,
if
the
state
has
identified
a
problem
that
we
have
to
match,
then
we
need
to
look
at
the
alternatives.
You
know
basic
scientific
method.
We
learned
in
elementary
school.
If
you
have
a
problem,
you
look
at
the
different
options.
M
You
figure
out,
what's
safest
for
the
environment,
for
humans,
what's
the
most
economical
and
then
you
and
then
you
from
those
choices
you
listen
to
the
community
and
then
you
pick
a
choice.
If
pure
is
a
process,
then
we
will
present
multiple
alternatives
and
we'll
get
feedback
from
an
independent
panel
like
yours,
on
the
alternatives.
What
I
heard
the
other
day
is
that
it
sounded
like
pure,
was
more
like
a
project.
M
It
is
a
specific
project
that
was
being
presented,
you're
asking
to
get
feedback
on
a
specific
project,
not
the
alternatives,
and
so
I
wonder
my
first
question
would
be
and
I'll
just
rattle
off
the
other
two
real
fast.
It
is
in
your
process.
Are
you
going
to
be
looking
at
the
alternatives
analysis,
or
are
you
just
looking
at
pure
as
a
process
project
number
two.
It
seemed
like.
M
Do
you
think
that
there
may
be
continued
confusion
among
the
panel
about
looking
at
tap
versus
pure
and
then
the
the
last
thing
that
that
really
concerned
me
is-
and
this
gets
back
to
the
alternatives-
analysis,
our
our
regional
water
regulator,
swift
mud
is,
is
giving
us
less
money
and
is
essentially
demanding
that
we
partner
with
our
regional
water
supply
authority,
tampa
bay,
water
and
in
the
whole
three
hours
or
so
that
I
listened
to
the
presentation.
The
other
day.
M
I'd
never
heard
the
committee
briefed
on
the
fact
that
we
actually
have
a
wholesale
water
supplier.
So,
if
we're
looking
at,
for
example,
reducing
saltwater
intrusion
and
sulfur
springs,
why
wouldn't
we
just
buy
the
11
or
12
mgd
from
our
wholesale
water
supplier
so
that
we
don't
have
to
pump
that
at
all?
Why
do
we
need
to
pump
this
other
way?
M
L
Mr
beer,
I'll
start
in
terms
of
the
and
kind
of
work
backwards,
a
little
bit
where
this
is
a
a
project
or
a
process.
I
think
the
the
city
staff
will
need
to
respond
to
that,
but,
in
terms
of
the
information
we've
been
provided,
whether
it
was
in
the
in
the
in
the
workshop
discussed
in
the
workshop
or
the
information
provided.
L
First
of
all,
we
yes,
we
are.
We
were
provided
with
and
clearly
understand
that
there
is
a
that
tampa
bay.
Water
does
exist
and
in
some
of
the
information
provided
there
were
alternatives,
broader
sets
of
alternatives
evaluated
including
purchase
of
water
from
from
tampa
bay
from
tampa
bay
water.
So,
in
terms
of
the
your
your
last
question
we
are,
we
are
aware
of
the
you
know.
L
Of
the
that
that
option
exists
and
that
alternatives
have
you
know
have
in
the
past
been
been
evaluated
with
regard
to
tap
versus
pure
the,
I
think
the
discussion
there,
certainly
any
technical
work,
that's
been
done,
you
know
no
matter
under
what
banner
any
technical
work
that's
relevant
is
is
relevant,
so
the
that
I
think
the
comment
really
was
clarify
clarifying
in
us
making
sure
that
we
clearly
understood
what
the
pure,
what
the
pure
project
is,
so
that
the
I
think
we
generally
understand
that
there
that
this
tap
project
was
itself
being
evaluated
in
the
past,
but
we
wanted
to
make.
L
We
wanted
to
separate
out
and
clearly
understand
what
the
pure
project
entails.
What
is
being
what
is
what
is
being
proposed
and
then
any
relevant
technical
information,
no
matter
where
it's
no
matter
where
it's
you
know
where
it's
produced.
If
it's
relevant,
then
it
doesn't
matter
under
what
banner
we're
looking
at
the
technical
content
of
the
information.
L
So
so
I
think
the
discussion
you
heard
was
just
kind
of
sorting
out
to
make
sure
that
we
understand,
because
some
of
the
documents
that
that
we
were
provided
with
have
very
relevant
technical
information.
But
you
know
had
the
word
tap
there
rather
than
pure.
So
we
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
clearly
understood
what
is
being
proposed
for
the
for
the
the
pure
project.
B
L
That's
that's
where
I
was
ready
to
go
was
to
then
go
back
and
ask
staff
to
at
least
have
to
to
comment
in
terms
of
how
this
fits
into
the
overall
pictures.
M
K
I
think
I
can
do
a
relatively
decent
job
of
addressing
that.
What
the
charges
for
the
national
water
research
institute,
independent
advisory
panel
is
just
to
evaluate
the
technical
information
that
we
have
put
together
today.
K
K
Things
like
the
source
walk
are
the
source,
control,
monitoring
and
protection
that
we're
going
to
do
the
enhanced
surfboard
control
and
monitoring
that
can
be
used
and
should
be
used
for
any
alternative.
We
have
that
involves
water
leaks
if
we
have
any
alternative
that
has
anything
to
do
with
recharge
and
recovery,
whether
it's
all
the
water,
some
of
the
water,
definitely
all
the
work
that
they're
reviewing
is
relevant
and
that
comes
with
multiple
alternatives
that
we've
looked
at
and
that
the
independent
group
was
looking
at
as
well.
K
K
You
need
to
do
any
more
work
on
this
area
and
they're
also
looking
at
that
one
alternative
as
a
whole,
but
certainly
doing
an
analysis
and
looking
at
the
other
alternatives
needs
to
be
done
as
well,
and
that's
why
we
have
the
separate
group
we're
gonna
hear
from
to
address
the
multiple
alternatives
process
versus
project.
It
is
a
project
right
now.
It
has
multiple
alternatives,
we're
trying
to
nail
it
again.
P
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair
and
dr
dyger.
I
I
wanted
to
thank
you,
sir,
for
your
presentation.
You've
been
very
professional,
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that,
sir,
and
for
everybody
who's
here
you
know
it's
it's
important
for
us
to
have
experts
as
as
an
attorney
in
civil
litigation
and
a
trial
attorney.
P
You
know
you
always
look
to
have
the
best
experts
for
for
the
jury
and
and-
and
I
appreciate
you
and
others
expertise-
and
you
know
we
hear
a
lot
about
dialogue
and
talking
with
different
groups
and
organizations.
P
The
sierra
league,
obviously
very
very
important
councilman
dingfelder
brings
up,
I
think,
some
very,
very
good
environmental
issues,
something
that
I
was
discussing
with
the
staff
yesterday
is
the
involvement
of
city
staff
talking
with
our
friends,
because
I
I
we
hear
a
lot
from
our
friends
at
tampa
bay,
water
on
the
pure
project
or
other
or
regional
ideas
and
solutions,
and
maybe
this
is
something
that
jan
or
someone
from
city
staff
could
answer.
But
is
there
any
sort
of
a
dialogue
occurring
with
our
friends
over
at
tampa
bay,
water
at
all.
N
I'll
take
it
jan
mclean,
for
the
record,
the
office
of
the
city
attorney
at
this
point
in
time
we
are
not
engaging
in
a
dialogue
with
the
staff
of
tampa
bay
water.
They
have
their
said
that
they
are
where
they're
available.
If
we
want
to
give
them
a
call
and
have
individual
discussions,
but
they
actually
were
waiting
for
the
city
to
identify
an
alternative
and
that
way
they
could
focus
the
dialogue
on
that
alternative.
N
If
I
think
that
that
would
be
the
most
correct
characterization
of
where
we
stand
with
the
staff
of
tampa
bay,
water,
we're
kind
of
they're
kind
of
waiting
for
us
to
make
the
decision
on
what
we're
doing
going
forward.
So
I
guess
we've
lost
the
room.
P
So
they're
they're
waiting
for
us
to
have
a
resolution
of
this
issue,
which
I
think
may
very
well
take
a
long
time
and
and
whatnot
and
just
not.
I
P
Just
make
that
inquiry,
I
think
it's
something
that
would
be
useful
and
whatnot
and
I
don't
see
the
need
to
you
know
have
it
predicated
on
a
resolution
from
tampa
city
council
when
you
know
that
dialogue
could
be
part
of
our
resolution
prospectively,
but
just.
N
And
I
think
that
you
might
hear
once
you
hear
the
presentation
on
the
alternatives.
Analysis
you'll
be
able
to
see
the
the
depth
and
breadth
of
the
alternatives
that
are
being
put
forward
that
actually
don't
include
tampa
bay
water
so
because,
like
for
instance,
I'm
just
going
to
throw
one
out
there,
I'm
waiting
for
the
room
to
open
up.
N
If
we
do
if
there
was
a
consideration
of
expanding
our
reclaimed
water
system
for
irrigation,
that
wouldn't
incorporate
any
kind
of
consideration
by
the
tampa
bay
water
authority,
because
that's
not
tripping
anything,
that's
in
the
inner
local
agreement,
so
you
know
I
could
could
see
maybe
their
position,
but
there
are
all
other
alternatives
that
we
could
at
least
generally
discuss.
M
Joseph
I
could
respond
to
that
real
fast
there.
I
think
I
think
what
ms
mclean
said
is
is
absolutely
accurate.
I
I
heard
that
there
was
a
misconception
because
of
a
comment
that
chuck
harden
the
interim
executive
director
or
general
manager
of
campaign
water
had
made
with
to
his
board
where
he
said
that
they
want
to,
and
we've
got
a
colleague
on
the
board
here,
but
where
he
said
that
he
wanted
to
wait
and
hear
what
the
what
city
staff
came
back
with.
M
I
called
him
to
clarify
that,
and
he
said
what
ms
mclean
just
said,
which
is
they're
available.
Anytime
city
staff
wants
to
talk
they're,
not
in
a
position
to
evaluate
any
specific
proposals,
but
if
the
city
wants
to
talk
about
collaborating,
they
can-
and
I
also
talked
to
chuck
webber,
who
has
had
conversations
ongoing
conversations.
I
know
ms
duncan
and
others
have
as
well,
so
I
appreciate
that
staff
has
been
having
those
conversations.
I
hope
they
continue
it.
M
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
alternative
analysis
if
it
ends
up
that
we
don't
need
to
partner
with
them
great,
but
if
there
is
a
regional
solution,
I
think
that's
what
our
regional
partners
would
appreciate,
and
it
also
would
be
much
at
least
from
what
I
know
would
be
more
prudent
physically.
Thank
you.
J
H
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
it
is
our
full
intention
to
when
we
get
to
the
appropriate
point
of
further
conversation
to
discuss
with
temporary
staff
and
board
of
what
potential
partnerships
would
benefit
the
region
and
benefit
tampa
in
terms
of
this
particular
project.
So
we
are
interested
in
in
looking
into
that
further
to
get
that
point
in
the
process.
B
Brad,
how
much
more
do
you
have
on
your
on
item
six.
B
T
Yeah,
I
call
it
your
system
here.
Thank
you.
I
I
will
introduce
the
alternative
analysis
team
in
a
minute
here,
but
provide
a
few
background
items
to
to
add
to
what
gene
said
earlier
in
their
introduction,
the
team
of
uterna
and
applied
sciences
was
selected
based
on
specific
criteria
and
detailed
discussions
with
14
farmers
and
the
selected
firm
needed
to
have
a
significant
knowledge
of
reclaimed.
Water
planning,
hydro,
geological
modeling
cost
benefit
analysis
florida
permitting
requirements
in.
T
Knowledge,
and-
and-
and
this
is
next
thing
I'm
going
to
say-
is
it-
would
make
what
made
it
a
little
difficult.
The
selected,
firm
or
team
had
to
agree
to
not
be
eligible
to
submit
to
be
part
of
a
design,
build
team
that
would
design
and
build
the
selected
project,
so
that
was
councilman
carlson.
T
I
think
that
was
a
request
from
you
and
we
wanted
to
honor
that
the
selection
process
resulted
in
a
a
selection
of
uterine
and
applied
scientists
and
they're
both
slves
and
with
that
preface
I'll,
introduce
the
leaders
to
make
the
presentation.
First
we
have
across
from
me
is
susie
folsom.
T
He
was
the
owner
of
the
eternal
consulting
and
was
previously
a
senior
project
manager
with
tampa
bay,
water
and
then
to
her
right.
We
have
mark
hammond,
who
is
a
professional
engineer
with
applied
sciences
and
was
previously
the
assistant
executive
director
with
the
southwest
florida,
water
management,
district
and
so
mark
will
be
leading
off
with
the
presentation.
So
we
can
have
marketing
communications,
pull
up
on
the
alternative
analysis,
presentation
and.
Q
K
And
good
morning,
mr
chair
and
council
members
again,
my
name
is
mark
hamma
professional
engineer
at
flag
sciences
in
a
few
minutes,
I'll
be
turning
it
over
to
a
presentation
over
sushi,
folsom
professional,
and
this
we'll
be
presenting
the
work
we've
done
on.
K
Analysis
next
slide
we've
evaluated
alternatives.
They
could
meet
these
three
key
challenges
that
are
facing
the
city
and
we've
evaluated
the
alternatives
that
would
help
solve
these
three
problems
that
the
city
is
facing:
one:
the
elimination
of
reclaimed,
water
discharge
from
the
howard,
current
advanced
weight
for
adrenal
plant
in
hillsborough
bay,
two
compliance
with
the
lower
hillsborough
river
middle
flows
and
level,
and
three
sustainability
of
the
hillsborough
river
reservoir
as
a
water
source
for
the
david
l,
pippen
water
treatment
facility
during
drought
periods.
K
Again,
what
that
means
is
allow
the
city
to
be
able
to
withdraw
the
water
from
the
river
that
they're
currently
permitted
for
that
they
want
to
use
from
that
next
slide
as
background
the
city
of
tampa's
primary
source
of
water
is
from
the
hillcore
river.
K
Since
the
mid-1980s,
the
city
has
been
able
to
augment
the
reservoir
with
water
from
the
tampa
bypass
canal.
As
you
know,
this
was
constructed
for
flood
control
purposes,
but
it's
also
used
as
water
supply,
and
so
when
flows
in
the
hillsborough
river
are
not
sufficient
to
maintain
the
reservoir
level
and
meet
the
demands
of
the
city
they're
able
to
augment
the
reservoir
level
with
water
from
the
bypass
can
out
and
since
about
2000.
The
city
has
also
utilized
an
aquifer,
storage
and
recovery
system.
K
In
addition,
the
city
has
the
howard
at
turn:
advanced
wastewater,
cable
facility
located
in
down
south
there
and
and
last
year
they
traded
about
56
million
gallons
per
day
and
reused
that
for
beneficial
purposes
about
14
million
gallons
per
day,
the
arrest
was
discharged
into
hillsborough
bay
next
slide.
Please
again,
we
we
evaluated
just
the
total
of
16
different
alternatives,
including
the
primary
alternative
components
and
sub
sub
components
that
were
able
to
either
individually
or
in
combination
with
each
other,
but
it
could
solve
those
three
problems
that
the
city
is
hasing.
K
Another
alternative
we
looked
at
was
taking
reclaimed
water,
treating
it
to
drinking
water
standards
and
using
it
for
potable
drinking
water
right
into
our
drinking
water
system
and
lastly,
on
the
briefing
water
option
to
use
is
expanding
or
exist.
The
city's
existing
reclaimed
water
system,
your
star
program,
either
in
areas
of
the
city
or
city-wide,
and
we
also
looked
at
alternatives
that
would
look
more
strategically
at
just
expanding
it
through
large
users.
K
These
reclaimed
water
alternatives
that
we
looked
at
also
had
some
sub
alternatives
that
looked
at
a
new
wastewater
treatment
plant,
see
if
there
were
benefits
by
constructing
a
new
wastewater
treatment
facility
that
may
provide
some
cost
benefits
on
that,
because
other
entities
have
identified
the
city's
source
of
reclaimed.
Water
is
the
potential
source
out
there.
We
also
look
to
see.
Is
there
an
alternative
out
there
that
might
be
configured
to
allow
the
city
to
sell
reclaimed
water
and
help
meet
those
three
objectives
of
the
city
conservation?
K
K
We
also
looked
at
a
default
injection.
This
is
simply
a
disposal
mechanism.
You
have
to
remove
the
discharge,
the
surface
water.
Could
you
inject
it
any
reclaimed
water
into
the
ground?
Its
whole
purpose
would
be
an
alternate
disposal
mechanism
for
the
reclaimed
water.
J
J
J
J
J
J
This
supply
would
be
pumped
through
a
new
pipeline
and
a
series
of
to
a
series
of
injection
wells
that
recharged,
the
alcohol
for
a
depth
of
800
feet
during
the
dry
season.
Water
would
be
punched
from
separate
recovery
wells
that
are
about
300
feet
deep
and
that
water
would
be
pumped
to
the
hillsborough
river
reservoir
downstream
of
the
city's
water
treatment
plant
intake,
the
quantity
of
water
recovered
would
be
less
than
the
recharged
quantity,
therefore,
leaving
highly
treated
water
in
the
aquifer
to
act
as
a
saltwater
intrusion
barrier.
B
Six
more
slides,
we
get
a
little
time,
maybe
15
more
minutes,
12
15,
gentlemen,
be
fun,
yeah,
all
right,
yeah,
we'll
break
it.
12!
15.
gentlemen,
if
not
soon
once
she
finishes
her
presentation,
you
may
continue.
J
J
J
14
of
the
scoring
evaluates
the
implementation
feasibility,
specifically
property
acquisition,
difficulty
permitting.
J
J
Next
slide,
these
are
the
scoring
results
for
the
four
combinations.
All
four
combinations
meet:
the
maximum
55
points
for
discharge
reduction
and
meeting
the
minimum
pillsbury
river
flow.
The
top
ranked
combination
is
alternative,
three,
which
is
the
pure
project
with
86
points.
Second,
ranked
combination
is
alternative
form,
direct
quotable
reuse
with
82
points
and
combinations.
One
and
two
are
tied
for
third
place
with
81
points.
J
J
J
J
J
J
Both
combination,
two
and
three-
would
require
additional
treatment
with
pumping
and
piping
infrastructure
to
route
supply
north
towards
the
hill
closer
abandoned.
The
nwri
group
will
continue
to
evaluate
technical
feasibility
of
combination
3
the
pure
concept
combination,
2,
does
have
a
lower
cost.
However,
it
does
rely
on
two
things
that
might
be
risky.
K
J
M
Thank
you
all,
thanks
to
the
engineering
firm
for
doing
this
and
for
agreeing
to
the
to
not
work
on
the
project
afterwards.
I
think
that
was
is
really
important.
Thank
you
to
brad
and
staff
for
insisting
on
that.
The
community
wants
objectivity
on
this.
Thank
you
all
for
following
through
with
our
request
to
do
this
analysis
is
the
first
that
I've
seen
this
it
as
of
this
morning
anyway,
I
hadn't
seen
it
on
the
on
the
on
sire.
M
M
I
I
know
what
my
gut
response
is,
but
I
want
to
look
at
it
and
what
we
asked
for
is
a
fair
analysis,
and
so
I
want
to
go
through
that.
One
thing
on
the
purple
pipes,
project
or
pr
prospect
is
that
we
should
look
at
an
alternative
modeling,
where
we
say
that
if
somebody
has
access
to
purple
pipes
that
we
would
pay
for
the
hookup
and
then
if
we
did
that
they
would
be
required
to
use
that
first
for
their
yards
as
a
conservation
method.
M
I
think
most
people
in
florida
understand
that
we
have
a
shortage
of
potable
water
and
if,
given
the
choice,
people
would
rather
put
the
water
on
their
lawns
than
drink
it,
and
that
would
change
the
modeling.
So
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
a
willing
buyer.
We
just
have
to
put
it
in
the
in
the
in
the
ground,
but
that
leads
to
the
next
part,
which
is,
I
know,
there's
public
involvement
coming
up
when
we
did
the
rate
increase
a
couple
years
ago,
I
went
to,
I
think
three
of
the
four
public
meetings.
M
I
don't
know
what
the
schedule
is,
but
I
hope
that
we
have
a
lot
more
than
four
meetings
and
I
hope
that
there's
extensive
outreach
to
the
community-
this
is
one
of
the
you
saw
the
numbers.
It's
one
of
the
biggest
decisions
we're
going
to
make.
The
numbers
are
even
higher
than
I
expected,
and
so
it's
it's
bigger
than
the
whole
pipes
project
just
for
the
alternative
three.
M
So
we
need
to
really
make
sure
that
the
public
understands
at
the
end
of
the
public
engagement
on
the
rate
increase
many
people
when
they
got
their
first
bill
complained
to
us
because
they
said
they
had
no
idea
that
the
rates
were
going
to
go
up.
Even
though
we
had
public
hearings
on
it
and
we
had
public
meetings.
So
it
asked
the
department.
M
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
hear
what
the
public
says
firsthand
and
how
the
public
responds
to
this
other
than
just
getting
the
emails
and
calls
we
need
to
have
a
representative
sample
of
what
the
public
thinks
not
just
the
people
who
are
really
happy
or
really
angry
with
it.
Thanks
to
everybody
for
putting
this
together,.
T
No,
that's
that's
all
we
have.
T
H
T
H
Brad-
and
I
just
wanted
to
add
council
chair
that
it
is
already
on
your
agenda
for
us
to
come
back
at
the
end
of
june
for
another
workshop
to
discuss
public
engagement
that
has
been
underway
and
we
completely
agree
with
councilman
paulson.
We
do
want
to
engage
the
public
as
much
as
possible
to
make
sure
that
we
are
offering
some
education,
but
also
hearing
concerns
that
they
have
you
know
for
their
perspective.
H
I
would
like
to
ask
if
we
could
include,
in
that
same
workshop,
the
results
that
our
consultants
reference
with
the
panel's
work
and
with
the
alternative
analysis
report
and
that'll,
give
you
a
month
to
digest
which
we've
shared
this
morning.
We
can
have
any
questions
answered
in
the
interim
until
the
next
workshop
comes
along
with
the
end
of
june
and
hopefully
at
that
point.
H
You'll
feel
more
comfortable
with
the
details
of
this
rather
complex
undertaking
and
have
a
chance
to
ask
questions
before
the
next
workshop,
so
that
you're
feeling
ready
to
discuss
any
anything
that
you
would
like
to
add
more
information
on.
So
if
we
could
plan
to
bring
that
information
back
as
well
as,
along
with
the
public
engagement
information,
we
can
plan
on
that
for
our
next
workshop
in
june.
F
I
looked
at
and
you
have
the
calendar
in
front
of
you
and
ms
duncan
did
make
reference
to
the
workshop
on.
I
believe
this
and
to
be
more
specific,
this.
L
F
About
the
community
conversations
and
the
public
survey
related
to
the
pure
project
specifically,
or
is
it?
How
would
you
phrase
that,
because
what
I'm
concerned
about,
mr
chairman,
for
the
benefit
of
both
council
and
the
public,
if
you
look
at
the
11
30
item
on
the
24th
of
june,
it
doesn't
make
specific
reference
to
what
project
or
what
department
and
you
might
want
to
amend
your
calendar
by
motion
to
the
clerk
to
be
able
to
notice
the
public
as
well
that
this
is
coming
in
whatever
form
you
wish
to
communicate
it.
B
So
I
think
you're
right
on
that
notion.
What's
the
best
way
that
we
should
proceed
with
that
sure.
F
Maybe
to
right
now
it
reads
just
so:
you
know
the
administration
to
appear
and
provide
an
update
on
public
communication
comma,
which
includes
the
findings
from
the
four
community
conversations
and
the
public
survey.
Maybe
staff
could
or
ms
mclean
could
actually
make
a
suggestion
to
counsel
as
to
how
it
should
read
on
the
calendar
just
for
public
notice
purposes
and
clarity.
Frankly,
maybe
reference
the
department,
maybe
reference,
the
projects
that
are
contemplated.
N
Yes,
jim
mclean
from
the
office
of
city
attorney.
Maybe
I
would
definitely
suggest
that
we
would
include
their
proposed.
N
Proposed
projects
inc
incorporating
the
use
of
the
city's
reclaim
water
and
consideration
further
consideration
of
the
alternatives,
analysis
and
the
reports
there
too,
so
that
you
have
a
better
notice
of
what
your
we
were,
trying
to
make
sure
that
that's
what
the
item
was
on
that
date.
That's
all
that
we
can
identify
that
one
is
so
if,
if
that's
a
amenable
to
the
council,
I
think
that
that
would
give
the
public
and
the
council
a
better
identification
of
what
you're
coming
back
here
to
hear.
Mr.
Q
You,
mr
chairman,
and
more
important,
mrs
marquini,
is
that
by
that
time
you
and
the
rest
of
us
should
know
what
tallahassee
has
decided
through
their
channels
that
they're
going
through
regarding
what
we
have
to
do
in
a
timetable
by
november
1st
and
all
the
way
out,
so
that
the
public
understands
why.
All
this
is
very
important.
F
It
could
be
by
unanimous
consent
based
on
ms
mclean's
representations.
Is
the
clerk
need
any
additional
information?
Is
it
would
you
like
to
have
the
something
in
writing
to
be
able
to
assist.
E
B
Emotion
on
the
floor,
some
moved
second
motion
to
mr
miranda,
all
in
favor
all
right,
the
prove
by
your
name's
consent.
