Of the continuances prior to getting to public comment. Okay, do you want to do that.

A

After the commendations, well, let's, let's do it now I mean we're on it so um because.

A

If I can, I'm sorry to interrupt, forgive me because I'm aware of the memorandum from councilman vieira.

A

Asking to be able to take the commendations early, but it's council's pleasure.

B

um Yes, sir, mr chair, all I've requested is that we do commendations prior to the.

B

28 hours of public comment we have today, that's it. Thank you. Thank you very much.

C

All right do we have a motion to continue item number 59., so number 59 again is.

C

The um the public hearing that was continued from february 11th that can't be taken up until 10 30.

A

You can stop what you're doing at 10 30. okay to address that item, but that is a a time certain.

A

That you can't take it up real earlier than that. Okay, okay, uh can we get a motion to continue.

C

Item number 73, president councilman goodes. uh To what date do you would you, like, sir yeah.

D

They're on spring break: that's in from the problems. We don't have all right. You want.

C

uh June 3rd uh may 6th, you know, you know it may make a suggestion yeah to coordinate with.

A

The superintendent and when you get the date, then you could bring it back to council and.

D

That's what we're doing under the shelby so we're waiting on it, so you could just so you.

A

Could just um uh either remove it from the agenda or receive and file it? However, you want to do it.

A

Or set a date, but this way you at least you'll you'll know that you'll have a date to bring.

A

Back the council all right, so we have a motion from councilman goods to continue this to a a.

C

Later day, to be determined, second councilman see troll in favor all right, all right, all right.

C

That is that, is it all right, councilman? Yes, I'm sorry! um When did you want to take up the issue of.

A

Item number, and you can, let me sir, see if I have this correct.

A

Any other continuances for any other staff reports. Are there any continuances. Any requests.

C

Councilman goose, I do have a request. Item number 74.. uh Yes, sir. I know we do have a lot of folks.

D

Who reference a public comment? But I'm concerned that this is a big issue here and we don't have.

D

Seven seven council members here today, okay- uh and I think it's important to make sure especially one.

D

Of the council members who did the effect district and uh not to hear his comment to understand where.

D

He might route, he might be looking to go or any of the information he might have.

D

uh So I would ask that we maybe continue this all right. I tend to agree.

D

With councilman goose, the most important excuse me chair, if I can, with your permission.

E

uh This concerns uh councilman carlson's, most important district, uh and I feel that the.

E

Councilman should be here, it's just my opinion, all right, councilman vera did you have anything, sir.

B

Yes, sir, you know, I I think, whenever it comes to that issue, um it's well taken for uh councilman.

B

Carlson to be here, I guess obviously the maker of the motion, who is the okay councilman ding felder.

B

Yeah I mean I, I was prepared to uh speak on this proposal. The administration's counter proposal and.

B

Talk about some uh sentiments that I'd expressed yesterday to the uh neighborhood etc. I won't I.

B

Won't go into them now because I think that would be going down a rabbit hole in the beginning of.

B

Tampa city council- maybe we can get into it later, but if if this gets moved one or two weeks, I think.

B

That's fine councilman, dingfield you're, the maker of the motion, anything sir item 74 regarding the.

C

The nine months duration, 10 percent mixed use, requirement.

C

Moratorium any objection to continuing this. Well, I'm a little bit torn. I think, on the one hand,.

F

This issue is sort of direct, has definitely dragged on since the fall.

F

I think, since we first started talking about in october and november.

F

So I think it's unfortunate to wait two weeks, but I appreciate the maker of the motion.

F

We should always try and respect our district councilman, and this is clearly a very strong.

F

Issue in mr carlson's district, so we should, I guess, give him the courtesy of uh of a vote.

F

And and not only a vote but listening to the discussion, the full discussion and participating.

F

uh What do you suggest in two weeks from now that'll be fine, mr dean father, uh you know and.

D

Again, with the numerous phone calls and meetings I had yesterday with a bunch of uh attorneys and the.

D

Community, it seems like I I several times: I'm not blaming staff at all, so I'm gonna take the wrong.

D

Way several times during the discussion, I've asked that somehow you have the neighborhood the person.

D

Of the city and our our economic development person somehow have a meeting with both those.

D

Groups to come to some type of compromise, it may not need to come to what we're trying to propose.

D

But my understanding from both sides that is yet to happen with all sides coming to one uh one.

D

Meeting so everybody can hash out those concerns, and again some of these concerns are small when.

D

I hear it and when I've heard from the attorneys and those developers who they represent yesterday,.

D

They were pretty much saying that you know we would like to have a chance to meet with everybody.

D

Together and come up with something uh to to deal with, you know the the overflow of the apartments.

D

The community says about single family and retail: a boardwalk river walk down there.

D

And so they're looking to want to work together, uh but but I guess we haven't got to that far.

D

And what I'm hearing the direction from this council was strictly only to come back with.

D

A moratorium issue of how to do the issue, but never nevertheless, wasn't really uh a community.

D

Type thing, and I can't say that's true, can't say I only can say what those two sides have said.

D

I haven't had staff there because it was like yesterday after I got all those zoom calls so.

D

And again, that's why I wanted to the liaison for that district to be able to ask those questions so.

C

Yes, mr chairman, and make sure your microphone is on. I don't see the red light. I hope it's on.

F

Yeah it is, it is okay um not to get into the to the substances and the merits, as lewis indicated.

F

uh If we're going to continue, it's not appropriate, I will say mr goods in response to that. The issue.

F

Of trying to find middle ground so as the maker of the motion um I've been trying to to sort of.

F

Mediate this I've actually got I'm a professional mediator by training many years ago, but.

F

Tried to try to uh mediate this and I met with the development community, the attorney the attorneys.

F

In the development community, I've met numerous times with the neighborhood folks. I've been.

F

Responding to a hundred hundreds of emails, as I'm sure you guys have and meeting with staff on at.

F

Least three or four occasions- and I think we have- I think, we've modified this to the middle ground.

F

It it started out as something quite different. The the neighborhood wanted an absolute moratorium.

F

No, don't give us your applications, we're not going to accept your applications. That's that's where.

F

The neighborhood was staff was in a different place. The attorneys in the development community.

F

Were in a different place- and I think I think we've sort of reached the middle ground, but anyway.

F

We can discuss that two weeks. Is that your motion, you want april 1st or april 15., I think I'd prefer.

F

Two weeks, let's just get it over with all right april, 1st the councilman yesterday and thank you.

B

Sir, you know what I would suggest is because I I think it's important for the we. We should.

B

Continue this that? No? No, no doubt that's fine, I think it's a courtesy to councilman carlson.

B

However, when the when the time for the agenda comes up, I would like to have a short discussion.

B

On where we all stand on this so far, so that the neighborhoods and all the different stakeholders.

B

Can see um you know what we're thinking and and and what other uh concerns have got to be there.

B

Without a vote being taken just my thoughts, you want to hold that hold the continuance and.

B

Well, no, I mean, I think we should continue it, but just set aside that time, informally.

B

For uh just a couple minutes just to for us to say our thoughts on it.

B

I think that'd be good. Okay, that's later in today's meeting. uh Yes, sir, I.

G

Just mean the record: while we do not oppose a continuance, staff is fully prepared to move.

G

Forward with this item today and just one one item that I wanted to correct for the record is as well.

G

You indicated that there was the administration's camera proposal, um the resolution that has been.

H

Filed for city council for your consideration is at the direction of council. That is not a counter.

G

Proposal by the administration, so this this motion, the entire discussion, has been directed by council.

I

And all documents we've been prepared have been responsive to council motions. Thank you second.

B

Second misspeak in two weeks. Thank you. Okay. We have a motion councilman good, for continuance,.

C

Until april, uh first under staff reports and a second from councilman vieira correct just a.

C

Question on the motion, so somebody mentioned about the tape recorded, I think councilman.

F

Goose mentioned about the tape recorded calls that we've been advised have been coming in.

F

uh Madam clerk, what what you know um for the voicemails, the yeah, the voicemails, so mr chair.

F

um Mr shelby, so what happens to those? uh Have they been separated out? um So some some are related to.

F

This this item and some are related to other items. What's the status of that before we vote on, if we.

A

Could ask ms lucas uh the deputy clerk to be able to tell council and the public how many.

A

Recorded messages are there, have they been sorted out and how many specifically for item number 74.

H

Yes, sir celine lucas, deputy city clerk, there are a total of 95 voicemail messages, 91 pertaining to.

H

Item number 74 and they have been sorted out. So if you proceed and continue, I can distribute those 91.

H

Voicemails to all council members, if you choose to do that in addition, we'll have the four additional.

H

Recordings to be played after live and virtual, so we'll I'll be able to listen to all the voicemails.

H

Correct, I could place it on a thumb, drive and give it to each council member.

C

Okay, as long as they don't you know, can you send us so, can you send us an email, file or or.

F

How does that work? Is it too big you could do? Perhaps perhaps it could be done by electronically.

A

If we can work with tni through, like a um a secure delivery system or a dropbox kind of thing,.

F

Some sort of cloud thing: yeah, yes, I'll work with tni to get that taken care of.

F

And so now it's our responsibility, mr shelby, to to listen to those individually instead of.

F

Here, your alternative council is very clear per your rules. um It would, it would be council's.

A

Decision to not hear the recorded today and had take the opportunity of the continuance to.

A

Be able to hear them individually outside of the public hearing. Excuse me, the public meeting today.

A

However, if you do go forward or if you had gone forward or intended to have to go forward, um then.

A

Because of the fact that this might actually be final, action, you'd be taken, you'd be required to.

A

Hear the 91 emails of voicemails recorded voicemails um during the hearing today so.

A

uh A continuance would actually give you the opportunity to be able to do this um offline.

A

And not at today's hearing, so that would be our own individual responsibility. Yes,.

F

Okay, thank you, mr thank you very much. All right do those voicemails need to be received and filed.

A

If you wish to do so, some move wait: let's do the continuance and then the receive and file.

C

We have a motion from councilman goods vieira had the second, yes, sir, all right, uh all in favor.

C

To continue this time to april, first senator staff report say aye all right any opposed and.

B

Chair, I appreciate it uh louisville at tampa city council here today we're here for a tampa city.

B

Council commendation uh to the wonderful men and women of the jewish war veterans of america for.

B

Their 125th anniversary- this was a motion, uh mr chair, that was made a year ago, and then we.

B

Learned on something called kovid, so we wanted to invite again our dear friends with the jewish war.

B

Veterans of america uh 373 here for this uh honor, and we have with us here, uh larry jasper, who is.

B

The commander of post 373 bruce sure who is the senior vice commander, steve falkowitz, who is the.

B

Adjutant of post 373, jim marines sergeant-at-arms george g jasper, the chaplain jack rudowski, who's.

B

The post commander mo batino, who is the patron and the following individuals, sir, are attending.

B

Remotely lou michaels the department commander, marilyn mckay, a member, dr charles sand, and.

B

And there you go so we're here, sir, for the 125th anniversary of the jewish war veterans of america.

B

It's a longtime tradition, as many of us know, in the united states of america, for for groups of.

B

Americans, who sometimes are not given their proper respect or deference from their fellow americans.

B

To have what's called an aspirational level of patriotism where they serve their country in a.

B

Time when many of their countrymen and women don't really recognize their humanity, we saw.

B

That with the 54th regiment of massachusetts during the civil war, african americans, who.

B

Served for the union during the the civil war. We saw that with a 442nd regiment, japanese americans.

B

Who uh served with a regiment at a time when many of their family members were at home?.

B

A a way and when folks wouldn't really recognize their americanism, I believe the most decorated.

B

Regiment in united states history- and we certainly see that with the jewish war veterans of america,.

B

And jewish american veterans throughout our country's history, the mission of the jewish.

B

War veterans of america for 125 years has been very simple to support patriotism, love of country.

B

Among its members and among all americans to fight all forms of prejudice, bigotry and attacks upon.

B

Human dignity here in the united states and to support the many many jewish veterans who serve.

B

In the united states military and to support and honor the history of the many jewish americans who.

B

Have served our country with great valor and great honor and courage throughout our country's history.

B

We know that in world war ii, uh mr chair over half a million jewish americans.

B

Fought in the war against fascism, the access powers and and nazism, we know that in the korean.

B

War, 150 000 jewish americans served in the korean war and 30 000, american or 30 000 jewish americans.

B

uh Would serve in the vietnam war and onward to today it's a tradition that continues not only of.

B

Service, but of the jewish war veterans of america having the backs of these jewish americans who.

B

Continue to serve us with pride and distinction, the united states military and advocate for those.

B

Best historic, jewish values of fighting for justice, the dignity of the person, tolerance.

B

And respect for all, we know that through so so many I I could get into you know stories of of of.

B

Members, people like boris stern among many others uh who have been members of of 373 here in tampa.

B

And- and I remember when I had the great pleasure maybe three years ago or two years ago, speaking.

B

To the national convention here in tampa of the jewish war veterans of america- and I remember when.

B

I mentioned the name tibor reuben. Every person in there went get gave me an amen, and I want to tell.

B

That, if folks out there watching don't know who tibor reuben is check him up medal of honor.

B

Recipient given by uh president george bush, the second for his uh service in korea, so it is my.

B

Great pleasure, sir, to give this tampa city council commendation to our dear friends at the jewish war.

B

Veterans of america for 125 years of standing, strong for our great country and for service to.

B

Our country in service to the best aspirational american values. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.

G

On behalf of the jewish war veterans of the united states of america and post 373 in.

G

Tampa and the state of florida, I would like to thank the council for recognizing our service.

G

D

Assist veterans and that's what we do and just as a side note since 9 11 61 jewish americans have.

E

Young man, all of his life, I gave him his first haircut and, as you can see,.

E

It was his last haircut, this young man.

E

Has achieved what very few scouts do.

E

This eagle scout wasn't given to him as an honor. It wasn't given to him as a privilege.

E

It was given to him for hard work and dedication being an eagle scout. Teaches young scouts.

E

Leadership and the ability to work together as a team.

E

I have seen this young man grow up. I've seen him do well in academics, he's also a musician.

E

But this is going to look great on his life time portfolio.

E

I'm proud of you, my friend.

E

Well done, thank you on behalf of tampa city council. We all want to offer our recognition.

E

Become part of a great tradition of leadership, service and duty you're joining the ranks of.

E

Other great eagle scouts from florida, such as charles edward bennett, u.s congress's.

E

Longest-Serving member from jacksonville carl lanford, former mayor of orlando.

E

And u.s senator and former governor rick scott, just to name a few you're in good company brother.

C

uh Sure to uh trevor wilson, uh congratulations on your achievement through your hard work and.

C

Everything that you've done to earn this just remember one thing you can do anything you want.

C

Anything you put your mind to and if anybody tells you that the sky is the limit.

C

You tell them that neil armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, was also an eagle scout. So don't.

C

Let that stop you there again. Congratulations anybody else! Councilman vieira councilman.

B

A

Helped me uh push through and um get the rank of eagle scout. It's um it's a big deal and it's.

A

It's really hard to do on your own, and I really couldn't have done it without them. They really.

A

Pushed me to do better and to work harder every single day, and I really appreciate them for that.

C

Very good, thank you. Congratulations.

C

All right that settles commendations, we go to public comment, we're going to.

Mr chairman, I'm sorry before we do that now that the councilman sitro was rejoined, could we just.

J

Ask the clerk to take the role and confirm again as a physical quorum for the record vieira goose.

H

Here, carlson dean, felder citroen here miranda.

H

Hey man, it's galco here we have a physical coin. Thank you. Thank you very much carol, gordon.

K

Just make sure you introduce yourself hi.

C

Yes, ma'am, please state your name for the record. We know who you are, but you know for the record.

K

That's right, I'm carol gordon, I'm, the president of seminole heights, east neighborhood association,.

K

Thank you all for allowing us this time to speak on behalf of our neighbors. We are speaking about.

K

A proposed project by the city of tampa, which will be coming into our neighborhood and located.

K

On hannah avenue for those who- and we are excited about that- we love the idea that the city of tampa.

K

Has looked at our area that they feel like it is a good place to be. We've worked hard for the.

K

Last few years to be recognized as a neighborhood association and be recognized as a neighborhood.

K

A part of tampa because we have been ignored for many years, especially for anything positive.

K

Coming into our neighborhood, so we are excited, of course, coming into the neighborhood and bringing.

K

500 plus employees and all these different departments are going to affect our neighborhood.

K

We only have two cross streets between our boundaries and they go east and west.

K

There's no other north and south 22nd and 30th hillsborough, sly, hannah and.

K

um Henry so when they're on hannah, there's going to be a lot of a lot of traffic, we've.

K

Got to figure out a way to work with the city to to calm some of that traffic to.

K

Make sure that everybody is um happy with it, it could mean having a food court in in the.

K

Building having uh food trucks come in, something that would keep the people there so that they're.

K

Not out during the day, going back and forth to lunch and creating more problems and more traffic.

K

We have some streets that are in need of repair. We've got we kind of been let go for a long time.

K

So, by having the city come with us, we feel like we'd have to. We can revitalize our neighborhood.

K

Revitalize our streets, this would really be an asset for us. In addition, we have a property, many.

K

Of you may have known that we were here with a large group of people asking you to not change the.

K

Variance for a property, that's on a neighborhood, an empty lot, and what we've been thinking about is.

K

Having that to become like a nature park, so maybe when we're bringing all these other vehicles and.

K

Vehicle emissions that what we need to do is look at the trees that are around our neighborhood. We.

K

Have very limited green space, so we could utilize that location. The city could perhaps purchase that.

K

Location make it a nature park, there's a building next door to it. That's vacant. Maybe we can have.

K

That as a visitor center, that would enhance our neighborhood, keep it green for the city of tampa's.

K

Tampa tree city, usa, perhaps it'd be incorporated into the bike path. The trail that's going through.

K

That those bicyclists could come in and stop at the at the nature park use the facilities.

K

Get to have some respite and then be on their trail again. It would work with the comprehensive.

K

Plan of the city of tampa, while we're developing buildings and putting them into areas, let's also.

K

Add to the nature part of it add to the greenery, so we feel like that. This can be a really good.

K

Thing for all of us in the neighborhood and for the city of tampa. I think everybody will then know.

K

Where seminole heights east is, if everybody knows that the city of tampa is located there, basically.

K

So I thank you so much. I feel good about it. We didn't bring the big group today.

K

uh We haven't had time and we want to work with the city during the planning.

K

We want to make sure we're a part of it so that when they want to do something there.

K

We know what they want to do. This is kind of fast for us, but we're here today and we have others.

K

On to speak as well, thank you very much. Thank you all right, mr keyports. Are you going to be speaking.

C

As well or miss arnold, uh we're gonna sit, wait well we're gonna, sanitize the after each speaker.

C

When we ask that it's one person in this kiosk at a time and just just for everybody's safety,.

A

And mr chairman, while we're doing that, can I take this opportunity just to refresh council's.

A

Collect um recollection and bring to the public's attention um council's rules regarding public.

A

Or noise, or displaying signs or graphics in a manner disruptive to the proceedings. Thank you.

C

Thank you very much. Yes, ma'am go ahead. Please state your name. You have three minutes.

L

Hi good morning, my name is susan. Morgan, arnold, and I am here from grace point as well as seminal.

L

Heist: east neighborhood association and I'm speaking today on agenda item 61 and 62.

L

I would just like to state on behalf of gracepoint that our support in favor of.

L

The city and exploring the option of moving some of the city services into a neighborhood into our.

L

Neighborhood and we have full confidence that the city will work with not just grace point, but also.

L

The neighborhood association and our neighbors, so that we can really do something that can make the.

L

Whole city stand out and will represent our neighborhood well and perhaps even.

L

Enhance the services that we can offer city citizens at this time. We would also just like.

L

To remind the council, as many of you can remember, gracepoint has invested over 50 million dollars in.

L

Recent years enhancing our campus within seminole heights, so we're excited that the city would like.

L

To continue investing into this area, so thank you very much and we appreciate the opportunity to.

L

Further explore how we can make the city of tampa better. Thank you very much.

C

All right, we'll sanitize the lecture and we'll have the next speaker.

C

Yes, sir, please state your name go ahead good morning, council.

M

My name is tim keyports, I'm the president of the old seminole heights, neighborhood association,.

M

As well as the president of the heights urban core chamber, and as both carol and.

M

Soon commented we are very excited about the opportunity to relocate portions of the resources.

M

That tampa has both with the police, department, downtown and other city services out into the.

M

Seminole heights east area old, seminole heights abuts this location, both on the.

M

West to the east and the north, so I reached out to a number of the residents in my area.

M

As well as residents who live directly on hannah or immediately off hannah and the number one thing.

M

That was brought up repeatedly. Is the traffic very very concerned that there needs to be an extensive.

M

And engaged traffic study to be completed and my recommendation regarding agenda item 62.

M

Is not to approve the full 6.2 million dollars but to break a portion of that out and conduct the.

M

Traffic study to make sure that this is a truly a viable opportunity for the city to move forward on.

M

Prior to executing the full study and the requirement for the 6.2 million, I believe.

M

A traffic study uh through gene duncan's department could be done at a much lower cost.

M

And as carol was pointing out, that is the primary concern, so specifically mona robinson living in.

M

The 1200 block of hannah is requesting a hannah and 12th street four-way stop right now, when you.

M

Go eastbound from nebraska out to the site. There is no traffic calming or stops between hannah.

M

And 15th street and, as you can imagine, nebraska is roughly eighth street if that still existed.

M

Traffic moves very quickly all the way to 15th, which is a long-standing four-way, stop.

M

There's a relatively new four-way stop at 19th street, demonstrating the need for increased.

M

Traffic control on hannah that was installed when the new walmart was put in at roughly 19th.

M

And hillsborough so again full engagement with the population that lives in the area.

M

On the traffic as our primary ask and request, as far as the facility itself, if approved, and we.

M

Move forward as a city on that, the recommendation are to include some community rooms available in.

M

The evening for neighborhood associations to use different groups that might have a need for space.

M

For meeting space, a number of the libraries have successfully been renovated to facilitate meeting.

M

Space, a coffee shop on site would be an excellent ad, something like the portico downtown. That would.

M

Provide some additional employment, as well as keep the 500 plus employees from not making multiple.

M

Trips, a day to run out carol, mentioned a on-site quick bite restaurant. If something like that was.

M

Viable, we would recommend a local restaurant from the seminole heights area be selected.

M

In a public private partnership, we think that that would make a really good nod to the local chambers.

M

Desires to continue to improve our area moving the headquarters of tpt directly into seminole heights.

M

Is a positive and a negative, we definitely need to be very careful when we talk to the citizens about.

M

The importance of having the increased police presence, but not to make it appear that this is.

M

Something that is adding additional eyes on the residents, and we know that. That's not the case.

M

But it's the engagement with the public that is critical to make sure that that happens properly.

M

A couple other items we would suggest: there's the csx rail line.

M

Long long term should the city choose to move forward with actual transit on rail.

M

Certainly, having a city center right next to and abutting a rail line that the city may someday own.

M

Would be a tremendous opportunity to really kick start rail and a transit stop to allow.

M

The employees to get there without having to drive on sly, hannah, hillsborough and those other streets.

M

That were mentioned earlier. I'd also like to point out that 22nd street, when you go north from.

M

The site up to sly, it's sort of dead ends and you have both an elementary school and a middle school.

M

Sly, middle and foster elementary right on those corners, and that is a serious concern.

M

As we all know, everybody's in a rush to get to work from work out to lunch back coffee, doctor's.

M

Appointments etc. So another recommendation was an on-site wellness center as an alternative to that.

M

High expense, there's no reason not to partner with tampa general clinic, which is immediately to the.

M

East and again, a public-private partnership with them for all of the city employees to have those.

M

Wellness appointments without having to travel out of the immediate area. Thank you very much, sir.

C

Thank you very much for your time, all right, we'll sanitize the electron and we'll have the next.

C

D

C

All right go ahead, please state your name. My name is stephanie poynter and I'm the vice president.

J

Of the gandy civic association, which has taken a vote to allow us to represent them, sean brown is.

J

Next, anyway, um I sent up a packet. I hope everybody has one, especially my favorite city, councilman and.

J

Why am I here standing here today? We know that you guys have postponed our our agenda item.

J

But because we want to stop the invasion of the of sog by the monster apartment, buildings.

J

Without any consideration for the surrounding community from the beginning, we have expressed.

J

Concern for the lack of infrastructure, the poor road conditions, packed schools, concerns.

J

For hurricane national emergency industrial accident evacuations, and that we are the only.

J

Road to the economic engine that is mcdill air force base, 22 000 people work at that facility.

J

We do do we know how to fix it honestly. No, we don't why? Because we stand here before.

J

You as novices in any of the things that make those changes, we don't have money, we don't have.

J

Expertise in land use, legal or city planning, we with the red shirts and the big mouths are.

J

Showcased by developers, as ignorant few that who have an issue when no one else does, I would think.

J

The submissions from for this meeting today would show you differently. We think we know what we want.

J

But no one seems to agree on how to get it for us. Stop over building sog with monster apartments.

J

We have 13 items on our list. I have supplied that list to you some suggested by growth and.

J

Development, others we picked up along the way, but today we'd like to we'd like to concentrate.

J

On the big ideas we want to make the changes in the comprehensive plan and the land use to fix it.

J

One eliminate far two ten percent mixed use when is presented as mixed use density in the chha.

J

Modeled after the unincorporated hillsborough county's plan, I gave you a copy of that as well.

J

Anything over 20 units expand the notification to 1000 feet plus with with standing. Please.

J

Bring back the site plans being delivered to our neighborhood associations? How do we get there? Well.

J

Staff first recommended moratorium on october, the 22nd. Then they took it back on december.

J

The 3rd councilman dingfelder pushed ahead with it anyway. I agree with this, but city staff has.

J

Had two to three months to work on things during that time, what did they get done? They took away.

J

Our site plans in neighborhood notifications. That's what happened so we're not at zero.

J

We're at negative one: now we stand here with a non-moratorium moratorium that we don't even like.

J

But when we ask staff to share ideas on an alternative, we got crickets. What do we want.

J

Stop over building sog with mo monster apartments. I am sure there is a solution to our problem.

J

But no one has offered anything better than a non-moratorium moratorium. Thank you very much.

C

All right, we'll sanitize the lecture and we'll have the next speaker.

C

All right next speaker, please state your name more councilman. My name is sean brown. The.

N

President of the guinea, civic association, as stephanie mentioned, we did get the new members to.

N

Prove us to be here today and speak on behalf of the association as well as just ourselves.

N

As concerned citizens, uh that being said, um look, obviously you guys got 91 voicemail messages on.

N

The subject number 74, which is our postponed until april 1st, but still want to talk to you about.

N

The issues and present um you know why this is not new. None of these issues are new.

N

um And one of the reasons why our infrastructure is a concern is because, back in to january 26,.

N

Hopefully, you can see this, I'm not sure, hang on january 26, 2007 tyndale oliver did a gandy area.

N

Transportation study um you know as commissioned by the city and this study, you know right here.

N

Showed how the issues currently that we're talking about now are nothing new. The problem is that it's.

N

Been 14 years since the study's been done, and the thing is, nothing has been done to improve this.

N

One of the things that says right here on this page city tampa schedule improvements in the area.

N

But they're inadequate to accommodate the planned traffic growth. It talks about this. The four.

N

Things right here have not been done in 14 years, yet even in 14 years ago it says it still wasn't.

N

Going to be enough for the increase in development, in addition, it says you know the city must agree.

N

Upon for substantial and costly improvements, and at the same token, you know talks more about.

N

You know the character to make the plan effective character, need you know, intensity, location,.

N

All that stuff needs to be actually put in and committed, especially supporting transportation.

N

System current comp plan- really it doesn't have that it doesn't talk about that. In addition,.

N

This report also talks about um you know the roadway networks and the impact and how it will.

N

You know affect the safety and quality of life. I can tell you that, right now, from intersections.

N

Down there like pearl and manhattan, the amount of accidents that occur there then another thing too.

N

This one right here, the the roadways at the time uh down there in 2007. It shows delmarva and west.

N

Shore, both at almost 100 capacity 14 years ago, all this new development has been approved in the 14.

N

Years yet nothing has been done to improve either one of those roads and manhattan has substantially.

N

Increased and this one right here talks about the impacts and how manhattan avenue is going to have.

N

Increased growth, especially here from 12 000 to 30 000 right there, so none of that has been done.

N

And so the thing is, the resolution specifies right here how the roadways, your transportation service.

N

Right here, that's part of that's the reason why your resolution right here is tying into that.

N

um That's going to be before you and spoken on april 1st, so the city's known about this.

N

14 years that study has been there, nothing's been done to improve anything down there at all.

N

Yet all the development's been allowed uh to occur, and so that is creating a huge problem.

N

Look at this point, you know it's kind of like a kicking. The can't just being kicked down the road.

N

But I gotta say: if someone if it went to your doctor and the doctor said you have cancer, you.

N

Know I just could kick the treatment down the road say. Oh wait, five ten years and just you.

N

Know I'll come back and deal with it later odds are you're not going to be alive, then to even.

N

You know worry about the treatment. Thank you very much. Thank you guys appreciate it. Yes, sir.

C

All right, we'll sanitize the lecture and we'll take the next speaker.

C

Yes, ma'am, please state your name good morning. My name is miss althea nguyen and I am with.

O

The northeast neighborhood civic association- I am here to talk about the hannah project.

O

I'm coming to our community, and I first want to say thank you for allowing me this opportunity.

O

um Miss moray holmes asked me to come and she asked me if I was related to miss oseawin.

O

I'm sure you know her, I'm not not that we are aware of we're not related, but who knows.

O

Because I found out, we do have family members that live in the same area of north florida.

O

So anyway, thank you for um giving me this opportunity to represent my community.

O

And I want you to know that I'm we're really excited to know of this development. It's a.

O

Major development- and I will tell you that as I've done some research about the project.

O

The one area that really um touched me is in the area of workforce development and training.

O

That would lead our neighbors to career paths, many of the citizens. They don't know how to navigate.

O

To the resources to help them have opportunities to have a key to open doors, and they may not.

O

Want to go to college, not everyone has that opportunity to go to college, but to get a skill.

O

Quickly, a training within months less than a year, that is the quickest way to allow people.

O

To be able to take care of their families and to be contributing citizens, and we need this in east.

O

Tampa that building has been vacant for many many many years and just imagine I'm I'm envisioning.

O

The beauty that could come from this development so we're very interested in partnering and being.

O

At the table to have to hear of the development and to offer ideas, we want to be involved, and so.

O

We say thumbs up, so thank you for the opportunity and thank you for wanting to come to east tampa.

O

Mr carr is also going to speak from river grove, neighborhood association.

N

Good afternoon, good morning, everyone, my name- is kevin carr, neighborhood association of river.

N

Grove I've met mr good before so great to see you again, marie holmes asked me to come down.

N

Again- and I appreciate the opportunity I, like my colleague here friend I live in the area, I do.

N

Feel that the growth and opportunity that is coming is a great one. I do want to voice.

N

That I do want research and opportunities to be looked at for everyone. I do think it's a.

N

Great area and it's about time for growth and development to happen to this quadrant of the.

N

City, I moved there on purpose because moving from new york five years ago, I wanted to be in an area.

N

That was diverse and I thought it was close to the city, but also to the airport. I own two businesses.

N

So I come in and out of the city quite a bit, but my interest is making sure that the dei concerns.

N

Diversity, equity, inclusion in terms of the vendors and projects and business opportunities go to.

N

People who qualify, of course, but also are diverse in building opportunities for everyone in terms.

N

Of construction in terms of ongoing job training, as fran mentioned, as well as future opportunities.

N

Where future growth is, I want to stay connected to the project all the way through. I do want to.

N

Make sure there are also environmental studies in terms of how much impact the area will have.

N

Also with the development also some of the areas in terms of the construction and the quality of.

N

The construction to really beautify the area also to make sure that the stuff that's put into the.

N

Community in terms of the building is the kind of materials that will last and be sustainable. Allow.

N

For the people to come and have a safe environment to work in, I'm very concerned about that as well.

N

As just overall the transportation and flow coming in the area, I do see it as a concern, but I do see.

N

It as a benefit, I just would like to make sure that the research is done and for the city, workers.

N

Who are coming into area? Maybe there's some development that will also come to help grow.

N

The area and bring it back to the level of what we see around all of the hillsborough county area.

N

There's a lot of growth, there's a lot of people wanting to come to this area. I see our area as.

N

A great area, so I would like to make sure we're on par with everyone else, so our area won't get.

N

Missed- and I don't see it getting missed with a project like this- bringing over a thousand people.

N

To the area, but I do want all the other things to be considered, so our area continues to keep pace.

N

With the future growth of the city, so I'm here for you, I'd like to be involved. I want to continue I'd.

N

Like to see potential to compete for some of the business opportunities as a business owner.

N

For this area, so I can help my city, my wife is born raised here, grew up here and we're here.

N

Because she wanted to come back of all places in america here in tampa, so I want to see this area.

N

Grow and growth opportunities to young people for jobs, as fran mentioned, is a key part of it.

N

And I want the area to be an area where everyone would love to come and visit, not just west tampa.

N

Or south tampa east tampa really needs a shine for our area as well. So thank you for the opportunity.

N

Look forward to working with you. Thank you very much. Excuse me althea. My colleague that's right.

N

Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you all right. We all sanitize the lecture we'll get the next.

C

C

Andy scaglioni and marvin knight it's a double hitter. Oh lord, dangerous duo. There.

G

Well good morning, first up andy joe scaglioni.

G

I've specialized in commercial real estate for 35 years in the city of tampa, I'm here to support the.

G

Relocation of the police station from downtown to east tampa one of the major principle in.

G

Commercial real estate is highest and best shoes, clearly the highest and best use of this building.

G

Is not a police station in its current condition, it was built in 1962, which makes it 59 years ago.

G

I'm sure mr miranda councilman miranda knows I remember going there with my nun. No, when it.

G

Was called a marine bank and that's the reason it was pain. It's actually blue because of marine bank.

G

Not because of the police station scott was called in non-curable functional obsolescence,.

G

And in real estate that means that a building needs to it's it's through with this useful life.

G

It will improve going to a new location, the efficiency ratio, the utilization ratio and also.

G

Conservation and energy and electric, in addition to that, the tax base will increase and that will.

G

Be a reoccurring income for the city of tampa. Now, I'd like to speak and and mr marvin knight.

G

Expand on it, the benefits of this being like a 500 employee, corporate relocation to east tampa.

G

We have never had that in east tampa and I'm really excited about that. The construction jobs.

G

It will create the employees they're going to have to they're going to have looking for places to eat.

G

You're going to have employees that want to live in the area close by, in addition to that, you're.

G

Going to have businesses that do business with the city that want to be close by which we call that a.

G

Compounding multiplier so um again I applaud the mayor, um her staff, deputy administrator.

G

Sargano for his pr, their proactiveness, the due diligence they've done on this and the execution.

G

Of making this happen, um thank you very much on this great project. Thank you very much, sir.

C

Next speaker, please say your name greetings, marvin knight, I I reside in the area. I live in the area.

O

Family business in the area uh I work in the area. In fact, I've uh passed down hannah every.

O

Day going to tampa electric and been there over 35 years, I feel that it's a great opportunity.

O

For this city to come together, not only hire some people do some things with infrastructure.

O

And so I I see great things happening, I I support the. I strongly support uh to.

O

Move to east tampa and take advantage of it, and thank you all for all. You do, and I hope it.

O

Make it happen so we can do things.

O

Better in us east temple and iran, including uh seminole height. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir.

C

That's right. Thank you very much, sir. All right, we'll sanitize the.

C

Electron and we'll have the next speaker please.

C

Yes, ma'am, please state your name. My name is callie denno.

P

I'm the president of the port tampa civic association. I represent my neighbors and.

P

The people who live in our small neighborhood experiencing tremendous growth I field phone.

P

Calls emails, social media messages and neighbors stopping me on the sidewalk to ask me how this can.

P

Happen tell me about their new flooding issues after living here for 30 plus years, without it.

P

The power outages, the overflowing schools, the traffic questions about what we're going to do.

P

In the event of a hurricane, like michael in a last-minute evacuation, you all experience very.

P

Similar situations, I come here to be one voice for many to save you all the time from hearing.

P

From every person in port tampa experiencing a problem due to the influx of development.

P

But then I heard the development community claimed the people who come to speak before you.

P

Are the only ones who actually feel this way? So we requested our neighbors express to you all.

P

And tamira caster how they feel so many people called in that we heard the city had to shut the.

P

Voicemail system down, who needs to hear those voicemails in order for someone to actually act.

P

City council requests developers speak to the neighborhood leaders. Some of them check that box.

P

They hold meetings and praise their buildings built of plywood. They show their beautiful facades.

P

And make sure we know the dollar amount they'll spend on impact fees.

P

The dollar amount not the percentage of the bottom line when it's all said and done.

P

Because that wouldn't be nearly as impressive, we have those meetings and it goes the same way. Every.

P

Time they act supportive. They tell us about the boxes that the city makes them check and how they.

P

Will check said boxes, we repeat the same message respectfully there are too many cars driving to.

P

Leave this peninsula daily, there are too many buildings made of mostly plywood going up.

P

Apartments are going up amidst single family homes going up in areas with one or two roads.

P

Feeding into the very few main arteries leaving the peninsula four to be exact, we understand they.

P

Have successfully built many apartments in other areas of the country or even florida, experiencing.

P

Gentrification, but were those buildings located on a small peninsula with one way out in a coastal.

P

High hazard area, each business or developer is going to move forward with their plan because one.

P

Decreasing the density decreases their profit, their business, not a philanthropy.

P

Two, they don't have to thanks to city policy. They will build them, they will initially fill.

P

Them and then they will sell them. They'll leave us with aging apartment buildings, bringing down.

P

The value of our area that everyone claims they're supporting so well right now add vested homeowners.

P

To the area single family homes, town homes, condos commercial, we are lacking in commercial. Everyone.

P

Tells me the density has to come first, but at this point where's the commercial going to go.

P

In the last few weeks, I've been in several meetings and copied on several emails in.

P

Which people who are employed to strategically plan for this city have sent the volunteers.

P

Speaking on behalf of the citizens of these neighborhoods and circles,.

P

It was a joke and it was a waste of everyone's time. Will this interim development control.

P

Ordinance solve our problem, not without the help and support of mayor caster and her staff.

P

Is there a strategy or plan for the area south of gandhi? Are there any plans to evaluate how.

P

The development is affecting the area and, if we're going to sustain initiatives, put into place 10 to.

P

15 years ago, we need a strategy that will last longer than a four-year term. This is not where.

P

That plan will be made, but I'm hoping the need. This is where the need for one will be heard.

P

Thank you. Thank you very much all right, we'll sanitize electron and go to the next speaker.

C

All right next speaker.

C

Yes, ma'am, please state your name for the record hi, I'm linda raymond, with.

L

The tampa downtown partnership president and ceo good morning councilman. Thank you.

L

For having us here today, I've met with most of you individually, but wanted to formally.

L

Come and present to you today on some plans that you'll see taking place in the next few.

L

Weeks that likes gaslight park and on the monitor, I hope you can see that we have a sketch of what's.

L

Going to be actually be happening there. Let me see if I can get that centered a little bit more.

L

There we go okay, so um we have a 90-day pilot program. That's going in so you will see that.

L

There's a kiosk off to the left-hand side of the screen, and that is an informational, kiosk.

L

Over this 90 days, we are going to put a portable temporary concession food concession. There.

L

And in the first 45 days we will have uh breakfast and lunch served and it's going.

L

To be a grab-and-go component and then the second 45 days, you will have a lunch and dinner component.

L

We're going to be gaining feedback over that 90-day period. You'll also see a stage off to the.

L

Right-Hand side, so we hope to do some programming in the park with some entertainment in the.

L

Evenings and during lunch hours and the concession is in the middle part of that graphic again, it's.

L

A grab and go we're working with metmen and some other organizations to do that. Grab-And-Go.

L

And you also see about 15 or 20 sets of tables and chairs there that are movable, so people can.

L

Come have their lunch, they can bring their lunch, they can get the grab and go from the concession.

L

Or just come out and listen to music or whatever that program.

L

Is going to be in the park, we want people to come out and enjoy the park you're going to see.

L

Enhanced lighting you're also going to um just see some beautification efforts going on as well.

L

At the end of that 90-day project pilot program, what we hope to do is put a more.

L

Permanent installation in, but we will be getting that feedback over that 90 days.

L

And really be listening to community input on what they would like to see within that park. So I just.

L

Wanted to present to you today, I thank you very much for your time. Thank you very much. Thank you.

C

We'll sanitize the lightroom we'll get the next speaker.

C

I believe there's seven more in person, then we'll go to the virtual, but.

C

We're gonna stop at 10 30 briefly to take up that continuance for.

C

That we had mentioned earlier for base center, so all right.

C

Go ahead, sir. Please state your name. Yes, sir hi, my name is david konowitz, I'm representing.

G

Local 915 ibw electrical workers item number 48 about the requirements for apprentices on.

G

City construction contracts and um I myself just finished the apprenticeship program. Sir, that's an.

C

Item set for a public hearing is that correct, councilman vieira? I believe it was your item.

C

48 just a moment, so we just have to double check is that it's non-quasi-judicial um or there you go.

C

Is he okay to speak now on this, or do we have to open that public hearing? Second reading, probably.

F

Openly here yeah may we open it now just to wait, let's, let's just clarify with uh marty.

B

If I recall last time they spoke during public comment, this is for item 48.

A

Public hearing on a legislative matter is that correct.

A

um It does not have if somebody chooses to take this time to do it now. You certainly can consider.

A

It it doesn't have to be done during that's what I thought. Okay go ahead, sir. We're sorry.

C

We just had to clarify with the legal department. I appreciate that. Thank you. All right go ahead.

G

But I just wanted to speak on behalf of 9 15 and let you guys know how much the.

G

Apprenticeship does for our our local and the local community and was done for me changed my.

G

Life and everyone else in my class's life for the better, and this ordinance would in fact help our.

G

Apprenticeship uh get our hours quicker when it's a three and a half calendar year, apprenticeship.

G

And we have to mainta attain eight thousand hours in that three and a half years, which we no one can.

G

Really do you know, um but having more work on the books can get us through our apprenticeship faster.

G

Get more guys out working and it's it can only be good things and also at the end of this year,.

G

Our collective bargaining agreement eliminates our low scale, which is small works and most of.

G

That city work, so at the end of this year, more city work uh means our uh low scale goes up even.

G

More so more work and and our our local usually sets a prevailing wage in the area. So when our.

G

Wage goes up even the non-union workers, their wages increase as well too. Typically,.

G

So more work for us is better for everyone. So thank you. Thank you very much, sir. All right.

C

C

Yes, ma'am: go ahead, go ahead, my name is caroline bennett. I am a lifelong resident of south tampa.

Q

The city has completely mystified me. Gene duncan stood in front of tampa city council.

Q

And said this is where growth is beneficial to the city, not here randy goers, told city council.

Q

That it is a great concern that this area has the highest growth intensity.

Q

So why doesn't the city staff consider that, as part of the rezoning process.

Q

Carol post told city council: this is where we want residents and employees to be guided.

Q

This is where we want transit, oriented and infill development, and these are the strategic expansion.

Q

Areas, why does city staff rule consistent on rezonings that do not accomplish the city's.

Q

Development goals, the development and economic economic opportunity.

Q

Department, the transportation department, the development and growth management department.

Q

And the city planning department all agree where growth and urbanization should occur.

Q

Why isn't the city staff directed to take the city's own goals into consideration.

Q

It's like the city has a split personality. We are starting to believe that the mayor's office does.

Q

Not want to limit apartments in south tampa and steer growth away from the chha, which is required.

Q

By state law, tampa's motto seems to become all. Growth is good growth, even if it's not sustainable.

Q

Even if it's not resilient, even if it conflicts with state law, land speculators buy property that.

Q

Is not zoned for apartments and then scream and yell that they are entitled to build whatever will.

Q

Make them the most money, even courts, even though courts have ruled that it has never been the law.

Q

That a landowner is always entitled to the highest and best use of his land.

Q

They threaten the city, even though courts maintain that a zoning classification is.

Q

Assumed to is presumed to be valid. The comp plan states south tampa is unsuitable for high density.

Q

Because it has environmental qualities that would be compromised by increased urbanization.

Q

Limited access to transportation facilities, which would be resource inefficient, to improve.

Q

Limited opportunities to create more community facilities, open spaces or services to meet.

Q

Increased demand and because it is unstable and flood prone, we are not thrilled with the interim.

Q

Ordinance that does so little it is not a moratorium and is not an acceptable permanent.

Q

Solution, it would not have affected most of the rezonings that city council has denied.

Q

It does very little to give the city sustainable resilient, healthy growth.

Q

But item 74 is better than nothing, so please approve it. I have no idea why develop developers.

Q

Would object to this temporary ordinance since it has such little impact? I want all of the.

Q

Voicemails for item 74 played on april 1st, please the city council website says voicemails will be.

Q

Played and the citizens left those messages in good faith. There were questions about the will.

Q

Of the people, so let's hear the answers. Thank you. Thank you very much all right next speaker, please.

Q

Good morning I'm phil compton speaking today regarding item number 66.. We all.

Q

Know that legislation is moving forward now in tallahassee that would get in the way of the.

Q

Efforts of the mayor and council to move tampa to the clean energy future we all deserve and.

Q

Need we all know that, while it's good that the governor is allocating a billion dollars of the.

Q

State's share of the american recovery act to improve florida's resilience to sea level rise.

Q

We cannot hope to build sea walls high enough to protect where we stand today.

Q

South of gandy and other places where many of us live and work today in tampa. If we fail to.

Q

Do our part to end our use of fossil fuels and our waste of energy that results from leaky windows in.

Q

So many homes we all know that this pending legislation is particularly sb, 1128 and hb. 919.

Q

Would prohibit the city from taking any action towards any gold energy, including the mayor's.

Q

Own goal of 2045., we all know we must act and act as soon as possible here in tampa to protect our.

Q

Community, we all know, at least I hope we all know- that a major problem is the high energy burden.

Q

That our lowest income families have faced for years, a burden that has resulted in many.

Q

Losing power, as unemployment deprived families already hard-pressed to make ends meet of the.

Q

Funds that they need to keep their lights on, we all should know that the lower your income, the.

Q

Higher your power bill, we all know that our public service commission doesn't require utilities to do.

Q

Nearly enough to help people lower their bill by making their homes more energy efficient,.

Q

We all know the city is considering selling the police headquarters and investing the.

Q

Proceeds into reinvigorating east tampa so, while tallahassee is considering preemption.

Q

That would make it uh affect our ability to pass a resolution on clean energy and now is not the.

Q

Time to pass any such resolution, how about we work with the mayor's office with her advisory council.

Q

On sustainability and resilience that I'm a member of to identify how we can ramp up weatherization.

Q

In low-income, neighborhoods in east tampa, sulphur springs and other areas where we have our highest.

Q

Energy burdens using some of the proceeds from the sale of the police headquarters, saving energy.

Q

Saves money for those who need it the most. It also reduces our carbon emissions and reduces demand.

Q

For the coal and gas that is the source of most of our electricity, the first thing anyone should do.

Q

To move to clean energy is to stop wasting energy. Meanwhile, please write and call our legislative.

Q

Delegation and ask them to oppose sp, 1128 and hb 919 before your ability to do anything on.

Q

Energy is lost, representative, jackie toledo, for example, chairs a committee that has yet to hear hb.

Q

919. she needs to hear from you all today. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir next speaker.

C

C

Yes, sir, go ahead, please state your name yep. uh My name is julio gonzalez militieri, I'm representing.

N

The tampa bay disaster resilience initiative um picture this right. The city's power grid stops.

N

Functioning emergency services in our hospitals come to a halt, ac units and refrigerators.

N

Throughout the city, stop working and this results in thousands of people from receiving the medical.

N

Care that they need that they desperately need in the form of medications such as insulin.

N

It doesn't stop there outside it's five to nine feet of sea level rise.

N

And people that you may know are sitting on rooftops.

N

Unfortunately, many of the elderly and the youth in the city succumb to this disaster.

N

And first responders would be coming to rescue people on rooftops and inflatable boats.

N

No amount of sea walls will avert this disaster, and these are the effects of climate change. This.

N

Is inevitable, this is just a small taste of what will happen if we don't move aggressively on.

N

Climate policy I was raised in one of the city's front line communities and it's these.

N

Communities that will suffer the most from these disasters. I hear that some of you may be worried.

N

That the city of tampa is in tallahassee's crosshairs. Well, I say we give them something.

N

To talk about, let's move on to policy today, I'm urging this body and the mayor's office to move.

N

Boldly and bravely on climate policy, yes table the ready for 100 resolution, that's fine! What we need.

N

Is substantive policies so that we can avert the looming climate crisis? These are moves that.

N

Are supported by the biden administration and I know that the mayor committed to a 2045 deadline.

N

For city-wide adoption of renewable energy, but you have access to the scientists and the resources.

N

That says that the deadline has changed, the science has changed. We have only nine years.

N

To meet those goals before that hypothetical scenario that I just gave, you becomes inevitable.

N

Becomes a reality, so we have to move on it now. um You also have the research from the sustainability.

N

Board that will confirm the timetable that I just gave you if we don't move on this.

N

I, like I, I don't know, what's going to happen, this is a future that I have to live with in.

N

Your children and your grandchildren will have to live with, let's create green jobs for our.

N

Frontline communities, while we work on averting this disaster. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir.

C

All right next speaker.

C

Yes, sir, go ahead, please state your name hi good morning, council. My name is russell khan.

R

I'm here as an individual today, not under any uh any organization or authority at this point.

R

um I had some preparedness remarks, but I'm I'm pretty um disappointed by all of the recent.

R

um Events that have happened regarding item 66, the clean energy resolution.

R

There was a commitment by this council, everybody said we're going to be in support of moving on a.

R

Bold climate policy then a lot. A lot of things happen which we're all aware of behind the.

R

Scenes at the end of the day, tallahassee is going to potentially pass a resolute, a pass.

R

Legislation that limits how much you can do um and we need to.

R

As disappointing as it is figure out what that's going to look like.

R

And and and work to do what we can in those frame in that framework. That is not an excuse.

R

For tabling it, it is not an excuse for not acting timely last year when we originally brought this.

R

Up there was work done good faith, work to try and move uh that resolution to get it in a.

R

Perfect place and it's very disappointing that we were not given that opportunity in that time,.

R

To get a good bill, we were never, there was never an intention of banning gas stations or propane.

R

Refuel stations, propane tanks- that was never the intention of what we were doing and that story.

R

Has gotten propagated to tallahassee on sb, 1128 and sb 856, and and even our own democrats here.

R

Locally have been parroting some of those lines, and so it's extremely disappointing that there's.

R

So much misinformation, um but the reality is, is whether it's a resolution. That's non-binding today.

R

Whether it's after session, whether it's down the road, whenever um the reality is, we need to start.

R

Making bold action on climate one way or the other, we need to start appropriating financial resources.

R

We need to start uh planning for sustainability goals and we need to start moving and 20. 45 is not.

R

Fast enough, I understand that was the promise and if the last two percent happens in 2045.

R

Okay, then 2045 is good enough, but we need to have seventy percent by twenty thirty. Eighty percent.

R

Community wide, you know um citywide, so so you can. You can still do a lot of this internal work.

R

Just start doing the work. Okay, I understand the reality of what we're looking at.

R

But I'm begging you please take it seriously and start doing the actual work that needs to.

R

Get done to protect the lifeblood of the city of tampa. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir.

C

All right next speaker, yes, sir, go ahead morning, mantisna.

O

Hey um good morning, uh uhuru means freedom in swahili and we say hey. Can you hold my time? Please.

C

If we could, please keep the room uh quiet as the gentleman speaks.

O

Uhuru means freedom in swahili and we, as african people, should always be thinking about our freedom.

O

Every single day, no matter what we're doing, even if we're in the bedroom, if we're at the bar, if.

O

We're at the club, if we're at the broadway bar, if we had whiskey north, we should be thinking about.

O

Our freedom at all times and this morning I was thinking about my freedom and that's why I came.

O

Down here to think about my freedom and first and getting down here, a stupid white lady approached.

O

Me trying to invent, interfere with my freedom and then after the official tampa police department.

O

Tried to have me arrested, yes, try to have me arrested, called to have me arrested, trying to.

O

Circumvent my ability to articulate, in reference to my freedom. Why is that? Because I've got to sign.

O

And have my second wife with me mannequin daniel, you understand actually call to have me arrested.

O

And I say: hey show me what I'm violating or I don't have to show you nothing and you know.

O

What this racist, this racist, white man! This is how they offend african people, this racist.

O

White man tell me: oh, that can be used that can be used as a weapon. That's why we're that's, how they.

O

Put charges on african people and orlando ghouls, you need to call him up. Yes, you need to call.

O

Him up and find out and he need to get written up and he need to get terminated. How did you assault.

O

African people- that's so stereotypical and it's so hateful and it's so mean- and it's so degrading.

O

And it affects african people, it affects the way we think the way we live and the way we aspire.

O

A racist white man working for the tampa police department telling me I've got a mannequin with.

O

A sign on it, oh that can be used as a weapon. That's why we're keeping you and after he was.

O

Told it's no problem with him having that in here. He calls to have me arrested and caused to have.

O

Another meeting, a secret meeting with someone else telling them something else: it's racism.

O

It's racism plain and simple, and no matter I didn't come down here to talk about that and I.

O

Didn't come down here to get off track, but that's what we black people have to end up doing each and.

O

Every day of our mf in lives, that's what we have to be doing. We can get out of our automobile just.

O

Going to the park and get stopped and harassed and arrested and intimidated and our vehicles.

O

Repossessed by the city and all this other impounded by the city, it's racism, and this.

O

Foolishness they talking about putting the police station a pig station in east tampa.

O

And they got some ignorant negroes coming down here. Oh yeah, that's good for development, ain't.

O

Nothing ever did for black people is good for development. They try to tell us jackie robinson.

O

Was good for baseball? No jackie robinson, wasn't nothing but a negro clown that was used plain and.

O

Simple and look go and inspect his life when he tried to change his life around when he understood.

O

He was involved in breaking up negro baseball. We had our own baseball. Thank you very much, sir.

C

Okay, next speaker, please.

C

Yes, sir, go ahead, please state your name hi. My name is craig fox. I'm resident of east tampa.

R

And thank you for the opportunity to speak today, I'm speaking on the issue of relocating some city.

R

Services to the hana property and have a couple concerns with that one thing I want to make sure.

R

That the city focuses on is prioritizing the most vulnerable residents of the black community of.

R

East tampa, which are in close proximity to where that new centers think about being relocated to.

R

While you know, while some some black folks in the um eastern side of tampa communities, are.

R

Homeowners, uh the majority are not so may you know you know so having um at an institution like this.

R

uh Relocated there, yes, some, you know some black folks will benefit from it and thankfully I'm a.

R

Black homeowner, but I'm more concerned with some of the more vulnerable residents which have their.

R

Rent increase um not just their home, values increase and there are some very affordable.

R

Apartments within close proximity to the new uh to the new location of the center is going to be.

R

Relocated to and those folks living there will not be able to afford home rents already one thing to.

R

Note is that the black average black household income household income was only 45 000 in 2019.

R

And since then, it certainly dropped since the kova 19 pandemic has has kicked off. uh Relocation is.

R

Not creating new jobs, uh we're moving 500 jobs that are already employed by people.

R

So it's not necessarily creating new jobs and the fact that we're relocating you know we have.

R

Existing workforce development is no guarantee of new jobs, so no not to that department, but.

R

It's no guarantee that low-income people within these communities are actually going to be more.

R

Employed once the city moves there, the city center moves there. In addition, I'm definitely opposed.

R

To relocating the tpd headquarters, um it's very concerning that the city's uh is now, as you know,.

R

According to the last city, council meeting is now a renewed focus, that's sliding towards returning.

R

To the drug war, policies is very concerning um and tpd had an increase in force um in 2019. That's.

R

And before they even 2020 protests even kicked off and that still hasn't been addressed. So unless the.

R

City is planning on hiring low-income individuals, vulnerable returning citizens. um You know in the.

R

Plans which are not really in the plans because against 500 jobs are already existing. um This.

R

This is really just how gentrification works, so it may benefit some the few black people, but we.

R

Need to be thinking about the majority and also the most vulnerable. Thank you. Thank you very much.

C

Sir, I believe that's the last in person uh speaker before we continue. If we get a motion to open item.

C

Number 59, which is a uh all right, we're emotion from councilman um favor hi. All right uh can we.

C

G

uh About our appreciation for you advancing the apprenticeship ordinance, um the florida gulf coast.

G

Building trades represents uh over 750 registered apprentices in the area. We appreciate your.

G

Attention to addressing the shortage of skilled workers, helping to revitalize the local workforce.

G

And helping folks on a pathway to a career through um you know, registered apprenticeship and training.

G

That, um quite frankly, had folks, you know, maintain their position in the middle class. um We sincerely.

G

Appreciate the leadership from councilman revere, the rest of council, the administration, the mayor.

G

um You know and are grateful for the inclusion of horizontal construction into the ordinance and.

G

Just on behalf of the signatory contractors that we work with, I can tell you, there's a.

G

Lot of optimism and willingness to target and compete on projects in the tampa area.

G

Because of these standards, so I just don't want to take up a whole lot of time. I want to say.

G

Thank you for your leadership and helping to advance this. We are certainly available.

G

To remain involved and help out in any way throughout the implementation process,.

G

And you know appreciate the leadership from the city to take this important step. So thank you.

G

Next speaker, we have jim joneco, please don't meet yourself. You have three three minutes to speak on.

G

This hi good morning, good morning, council and good morning, chair maniscalco, uh my name is jim.

G

Janetko, I'm the treasurer of the florida gulf coast, building and construction trade council.

G

In addition to the 750 plus apprentices that we represent, we also represent thousands of.

G

Hard-Working journeymen operators journey level operators and their families right here in and.

G

Around tampa so just want to be a very quick and thank you for all of your hard work, especially.

G

Councilman louis vieira for putting together this landmark ordinance for.

G

The people of the city of tampa it truly is an investment into our local residents. I'm proud.

G

To have worked with you the whole way, I'm genuinely proud to be part of this moment.

G

Thank you to each of you. Thank you for your leadership and thank you again. Councilman.

G

Vieira for all that you have done for the people of tampa. Thank you so much.

S

Hi, can you hear me.

H

Yes, we can hear you.

S

Okay um hi, my name is chelsea. I live off of hannah close to central and hannah intersection, so.

S

I wanted to make my voice heard regarding the um proposed move of the tampo police department.

S

So, like I said, I live close to central and hannah, which is kind of like a halfway point along hannah.

S

It's also often where I ride my bike and a few weeks ago I was riding my bike with some friends.

S

And I couldn't help but notice, as we headed over on hannah across 15th, that the street lights.

S

Are limited, dim, broken or non-existent? The roads are crumbling and need of repair. Unsurprisingly,.

S

This is a predominantly black neighborhood across 15th street and it's very obvious.

S

That it lacks a lot of attention and investment from the local government. They look, they lack.

S

Basic infrastructure for their um basic safety- to be quite honest, um surprisingly, the other half of.

S

Piano where the quote historic homes are streets are wide for kids to play. Neighbors walk their.

S

Dogs, it's well lit at all hours, and you can tell there's a lot more investment that goes into that.

S

Area, um you could say it's going as coincidental matter of city planning, but considering what.

S

I've noticed across the pattern of funding for all of tampa um I'd, say it's actually a racist.

S

And negligent choice of the tampa government um and it hurts predominantly the predominantly.

S

Black and latinx communities in tampa, most of which are families who've, been long part of.

S

Tampa and who have quite frankly, made it what it is, um the funding investment in tampa is not equal.

S

And there are a dozen other ways that uh we could be funded and invest into our city and into our.

S

Communities in ways that matter um like some of the efforts and training of education that were.

S

Mentioned earlier, um the very last thing we need is a heavier police presence in our neighborhood.

S

Just last month I was trying to find a police officer who was one of like eight to ten, that.

S

Were arresting a minor, I was worried about the safety and supervision of the child and the.

S

Police refused to answer my questions telling me they didn't owe me anything and telling me to mind.

S

My business and they even attempted to physically intimidate me, but I have to be honest, that is my.

S

Business, it is my community, it's my neighborhood and they are my neighbors um and I know for a.

S

Fact that they cannot and will not be there to serve or protect our community and they have no.

S

Interest in doing so, um I know that they continue to stalk harass and terrorize the black neighbors.

S

That I live here um and I've seen it said that the project will create jobs for construction.

S

And for people who work there, like um someone mentioned earlier, it's very very unlikely that.

S

Those jobs will actually go to the community members and whether they're construction.

C

You still have 30 seconds.

C

Did we lose the caller okay, all right and then the next person.

S

Next, speaker is sharon. Graham, if you can hear me, please don't meet yourself. You have three.

G

Minutes to speak, sharon graham go ahead if you would unmute yourself hi. Thank you, um madam.

T

Clerk, mr chair and good morning, councilman my name is sharon graham and I'm a business owner.

T

Of eight years in tampa, who chooses to live here and facilitate jobs and build a team serving our.

T

Community, because of its beauty and potential, I am here to urge your strong support of our transition.

T

To a clean energy future by 2030., please do continue with this goal. Tampa must transition.

T

From fossil fuels, by focusing on energy efficiency upgrades that are inexpensive, quick and feasible.

T

A transition to clean renewable energy will allow the city to invest in good high-paying jobs within.

T

The community from installation to energy upgrades to city infrastructure, which is much needed.

T

Converting the fleet to electric will reduce smog and respiratory distress for our communities. The.

T

Majority of whom are people of color, we must shift the energy burden off of our residents.

T

With the fewest resources, by alleviating the situations that cause their homes to use more.

T

Energy, which are a lack of energy efficiency and the need for weatherization upgrades.

T

We must also make our city more walkable and bikeable and work with tico and heart to increase.

T

Access to charging for electric vehicles and clean energy and electric public transportation.

T

167 cities, 12 counties in eight states- that's over 100 million americans.

T

Now live in a community that is already formally committed and working towards a goal.

T

Of 100 percent renewable energy for both municipal operations and their entire community tampa should.

T

Join these leading municipalities, counties and states who are already working towards moving.

T

To a 100 percent clean energy future. Thank you very much. Thank you very much next speaker. Please.

Next speaker, we have is brooke aaron. If you can hear me, please admit yourself, you have three.

S

Minutes to speak well good morning, council members, it's always a pleasure to come and speak with you.

S

My name is brooke eric senior organizer for food and water watch florida, I'm speaking on behalf of.

S

Our over 2500 tampa members I'm coming here today, um actually to echo the sentiments of several.

S

Different items that are on the agenda today, because we're really at a place where all of these.

S

Overlap, um it really comes down to investing in our community and that's something that you as our.

S

Council members, I know, um really have the intent to do and we're in a position where we can do that.

S

You've been hearing many speak out about this project to me tampa where people are struggling.

S

Jobs are being lost, homes are in disrepair, people's power are being turned off um and there's.

S

A whole million dollar project slated to um just continue the same problematic behavior to over.

S

Police, the residents of this community and fail to invest in actually building the community up.

S

A hundred million dollars can do a lot. A hundred million dollars can help to weatherize these homes.

S

A hundred million dollars can help to invest in green jobs, creating many many more than 500 jobs.

S

In this neighborhood and jobs for the residents, um it goes along hands with the apprenticeship.

S

Program, we give you training of trades, um we can invest in the infrastructure, so these.

S

Homes aren't sitting in standing water. These are things that u.s city council can take real steps.

S

To do you invest in our community and, at the same time, the acting to avoid climate disaster.

S

uh We know we haven't reforms, we know that there is flooding and sea level risks that are coming.

S

To our city and already are here, we know that we have nearly nine billion dollars worth of property.

S

Value that will be lost in the next 25 years. If we don't act on on climate change, this impacts our.

S

Entire community, but you can then start investing now and this stuff that's happening in tallahassee.

S

It is an atrocity, it is a direct affront from the oil and gas industry. That's happening in 13 other.

S

States around the country and they are using us as a scapegoat and they're going to try to push back.

S

And that is why we need to push back harder. I know that every single member on this council.

S

Is committed to clean energy, and so let's kill these bad preemption bills. Council.

S

Needs to reach out to our legislators, especially tampa representative toledo, who chairs the next.

S

Committee in the house and can stop these bills. He already didn't schedule them things this week.

S

And she can stop them next week. Please. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, nick.

S

Next speaker, we have is angel d'angelo, please don't meet yourself. We have three minutes to speak.

C

Go ahead good morning, deangelo good morning, this is angel d'angelo born and raised in tampa florida.

T

Off of central avenue, which used to be the historic scrubs, a once vibrant black community.

T

That was gentrified and destroyed. That's exactly what's going to happen in east tampa. If this.

T

Project is approved, which I I'm pretty confident it will be approved because we know how it goes.

T

But I am here to speak on the record in my opposition for that 100 million dollar project.

T

No money should be spent on that, while we have 19 of the city at or below the poverty line. Most of.

T

Which reside in east tampa, not because of anything anybody in east tampa has done. That is wrong.

T

But because of systemic injustices, racism, white supremacy, patriarchy, all those good things.

T

You all hate us talking about. um I would have been there in person today, but I'm not feeling well.

T

So I elected not to um it's, not that I don't care. I do support the apprenticeship program.

T

Being approved and I support us going towards clean energy, it's a good move.

T

Those are moves that make sense, but this 100 million dollar investment, 100 million.

T

Dollars could bail out how many struggling businesses, especially black businesses, in tampa.

T

That had to close their doors because of covid 100 million dollars could house at least.

T

Could pay the mortgages and or rent of at least 8 000 residents in.

T

Tampa, instead, you want to do this project. That's just going to lead to gentrification and destroy.

T

What is left of the beauty and intent of east tampa and seminole heights.

T

I understand a lot of the neighborhood association. People are excited about it, they're worried about traffic. What a great concern traffic we know what tpt is about tpd is about.

T

Aside from that, if seminole heights wants to feel safer, they need to build more mcdonald's.

T

And not tpd, and I say that because we know who solved the seminal heights killing was.

T

The black woman manager at mcdonald's, not chief dugan, not tpd, it does not keep the public safe.

T

And you're going to keep hearing about it until you do something drastically drastically different.

T

Because this just is not working, 13 of the city of tampa live without health care, insurance.

T

Can't see a doctor that includes mental health. You approve package stores in east tampa.

T

When you know that it causes blight and what our council members refer to as systemic slumming.

T

Why I know why I know the answers. Y'all know what you're doing you all said.

T

After you all voted yes on that package story, y'all named the violence it caused.

T

But you still voted yes with your whole heart. What do we have to do to convince you.

C

Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. Next speaker, we have is steve michelini. If.

S

You can hear me, please don't mute yourself. We have three minutes to speak. Mr mickelini.

C

Mr mickelini, if you're on, please don't mute yourself. You have three minutes, sir.

C

Yes, go ahead, we can hear you don't mute yourself, I'll, mute yourself. Please.

C

Can you hear me now, yes go ahead, you have three minutes, sir. Okay, I'm calling regarding.

G

This proposed change in the uh the parking ordinance for downtown and metered parking.

G

um The the legal descriptions regarding item three, which is the it says, whiting street,.

G

South kennedy, north and ashley west nebraska east- those are those are wrong. um It should be kennedy.

G

Are whiting on the south? The north boundary should be cass or tyler, not not kennedy, because.

G

You've eliminated all of the areas that you were trying to take into consideration for no.

G

No fees on sunday and I wanted to bring another issue to your attention that it allows for.

G

Metered parking at the beaches, the parks and the recreation areas uh seven days a week and that.

G

Just a general note that to me you know who who goes to the parks. You know not just the.

G

Wealthy people, but the poor people, do you really want to put meters at the recreation centers.

G

um But anyway, the the description on number three and the ordinance is wrong. It just.

G

I mean I, I don't know exactly where they got that from, but although they said they copied it from.

G

The old ordinance, but it shouldn't be kennedy on the north um and the other issue was that.

G

I mean I, I just think they need to fix it, so I would urge you not to adopt this to go back and.

G

And fix those descriptions uh before you, you consider this as first reading, we also reached.

G

Out to the downtown partnership, and uh previously it was, we were told that the downtown partnership.

G

Was behind this and they said that they had made a mistake and and not reaching out to the other.

G

Operations that occurred on sunday and they apologized, and they still they were no longer.

G

Opposed to to the parking uh to charging they were, they were supporting no fee parking on sundays.

G

Until 2 p.m, the other. The other item is that in that ordinance it says 1 p.m and not 2 p.m.

G

So those issues don't follow the motions that were made by council.

G

Thank you, councilman miranda. Yes, sir. Thank you chairman. I asked mr michelin.

E

Was speaking, I looked at mine on page two and what I read were the exceptions sundays from.

E

8 a.m to 2 p.m, for all meter parking located on areas bounded by excluding kennedy, boulevard.

E

To the south, by including scott street, to the north, by including ashley to the.

E

West and by including nebraska to the east, doesn't that cover what we had what we said.

G

Yes, sir, that does but the copy that I have says kennedy to this to the north.

E

To the south, I don't know what the other council member says.

E

So that's why I went to look at it page. On page number, two of the uh item number four.

G

Well, I'm looking at what they said uh yesterday. No I'm not I'm not disputing.

E

Mr michelini, I'm just saying what I have in mind on item number: four. If it says.

G

Can it if it says south I mean and scott on the north, that's fine and that that.

E

That's what mine says, I don't know what the other council member says, mine, says: kennedy.

G

Mr chairman, yes ma'am, this is gina graham's city attorney. I think gene duncan would like to explain.

C

All right miss what does duncan go ahead. Thank you chair. uh Yes, just to clarify they're, actually.

G

uh As as the chair indicated earlier, this morning, we were going to combine items number.

G

Four and number 69. yes, so we're discussing that a few ordinances for consideration.

G

uh One is the original or I'll call it. The original ordinance from.

G

Last year I apologized have to date right in front of me, um but it was repealed. A few months ago.

G

uh And that ordinance has come back a couple times before council with the latest version.

G

uh Being the the boundaries that mr miranda just described, so that's the newer ordinance that.

G

The staff is proposing the original ordinance that was repealed some months ago was also put back on.

G

For consideration under item 69, and so that's where the confusion is there's two ordinances.

G

That are being considered for discussion um this afternoon when we get to the.

G

That part of the agenda all right hope that cleaves it up a little bit. Yes, we'll talk about.

C

It then we're still in the yes councilman goode gene. Just a side note. He may mention about meters.

D

At recreational centers so make it note, because I want to ask about that- I must have missed that.

C

Meters at recreational centers could we take that up under six.

C

Yeah, we'll we'll bring it up this afternoon, but meters at recreational centers is another.

C

uh Point there that we'll discuss all right anything else, uh councilman miranda.

E

Thank you not at this time all right. Thank you very much, mr micolini. Also just for clarity for.

C

The record we uh continued item number 59, but we did not set a time. The time will be for 10 30 on.

C

April 1st, just for the mr chairman is mr mechanic still on the line. Do you know if he's still there.

C

No, but I mean it's the same as today: 10 30 and 10 30 10 30.. um If we could just have that motion to.

A

Amend that to to to ensure that the time is noted at 10 30 a.m. All right motion from councilman.

C

Goode secretary councilman seizure, this is to clarify item. 59 will be for april 1st at 10 30 a.m.

C

All in favor aye any opposed. Thank you. uh Do we have anybody else register for public comment.

C

All right go ahead. Yes, the next speaker is priscilla apartheid. If you can hear me, please.

S

Don't meet yourself, we have three minutes to speak. Thank you hi. My name is priscilla.

S

Partow and I live in the saag community, I have a few questions for city council. One.

S

The state passed the peril of food act in 2015., the language from that law was added to the comp.

S

Plan but exactly what changes were made and how the city evaluates rezoning applications.

S

Two, when is the city going to start doing the annual review of the effect of new.

S

Development on the evacuation times that is required by cm 1.2.3 and the comp plan.

S

Three, how many people can live in south tampa and be safely evacuated in an emergency.

S

4., I have heard many builders say their rezoning should be approved because the.

S

City needs, affordable housing. How many of them have built, affordable, housing in south tampa.

S

Similar to the schroener, which has an income based rent additionally, how much of that rent.

S

How much is rent for their apartments? I yield the rest of my time, so you can answer these questions.

C

We're going to be bringing up this discussion in two weeks, but public comment is just for general.

C

General public comment we'll have the discussion in two weeks, any other council members wish to.

C

Chime in or we wait to the discussion that was continued, all right, we're going to wait until.

C

The discussion comes up that it's been continued, but we have your questions and then we can discuss.

C

Everything then thank you, and since you do have the list of uh my questions, I just.

S

Would expect that they'd be answered in writing as soon as possible or at that meeting? Thank you.

S

Thank you very much. Who is the next speaker? The last registered speaker is gene schroemeier. If.

H

You can hear me, please tell me yourself, you have three minutes to speak. Gene stromer go ahead.

I

um Hello, I'm just calling about um I'm jeanne strommeyer with interbay south of gandhi,.

I

Neighborhood association, I'm sure, you've gotten um the messages from the people that live down here.

I

Regarding item number 74. on and I know it's been postponed, but we do need some sort of resolution.

I

On this matter, um the proposed language- it's it's supposed to be a moratorium there. I saw a memo.

I

In the in the um sire that said, the resolution, if it's approved the planning commission staff.

I

Will be directed to not accept applications to amend the comprehensive plan and the city will not.

I

Accept applications for re-zoning that fall within either of the two.

I

uh The two described categories, which is the multi-family the far and the ten percent.

I

And it shows in here notwithstanding that this is a memo dated march 11th, um and it just shows that.

I

They they that they're, the applications will be prohibited. That was not the intention that we ever.

I

Understood so we understood that the applications will still move forward on both of those matters.

I

We also understood um that when they do move forward that they will be under the.

I

Pending ordinance solution, which means they, they will still go forward and they will go forward.

I

According to the um in on moratorium moratorium um also, I request that all.

I

Of the messages that were left by our neighbors, they left a message for you guys to listen to.

I

um We heard last last session. There was at least 35 messages that were listened to by east tampa.

I

And we request the same courtesy and we would like those to be listened to.

I

In public as they were promised, um I know we're going to readdress this matter next.

I

Time on april 1st, thank you for your time and you all have a great day. Thank you very much. That's.

C

The last registered speaker, but before we go to public, I'm sorry recorded messages. um We had a.

C

Sandy sanchez from the armory gardens association was not able to leave a voicemail because the.

C

System had overloaded and she emailed me- and this is also on behalf of mrs martha villa.

C

Again, they were not able to leave a voicemail because the system was overloaded, so I'm going.

C

To read it quickly- um and this is about villa brothers park, so it's a completely separate issue.

C

From everything else- and these are the words of sandy sanchez- we would like the ada footprint at.

C

The villa brothers park to improve, we have one parking place poorly located the parking place.

C

Is on cast the entry next to the one handicapped parking place is not wide enough for a wheelchair.

C

If they could utilize this entry, they would then have to cross a very active basketball court.

C

Instead, once they're out of their car, they have to turn north on the armenia.

C

On armenia to arrive at the ada entrance, which is another 40 to 50 feet from the parking space.

C

Once they get to the entrance, they can go to the playground, a short sidewalk and that's it.

C

The last major items left to complete in the villa village park are a walking trail and a.

C

Dog park, we would like city council to encourage parks and rec to make the villa brothers more.

C

Accommodating for the disabled, improved parking with more handicapped parking and easier access.

C

Make sure the walking trail is large enough to accommodate wheelchairs and make the dog park.

C

Ada compliant, these are the 388 compliant dog parts, according to parks and rec website.

C

All three are downtown two across from each other in the river they're located.

C

In a desolate area under the salmon expressway behind the train station, a very large new park.

C

Just very isolated I've taken my dogs twice, but since no one else was there when I left the villa.

C

Brothers park is a patriotic park dedicated to the veterans, all veterans and proving this park to.

C

Accommodate all veterans in the community would be in line with the villa family's vision, improving.

C

The 88 conditions would appear to be a logical conclusion again sandy sanchez and I believe the.

C

Same words were coming from mrs martha villa, so I want to read that into the record, because they.

C

Were unable to access the uh the voicemail system? So, having said that, we'll go to the voicemails.

T

Hi, my name is bernice and I live in west tampa. I'm calling because I'm really concerned about.

T

The voting for over six million dollars for a demolition process to start an over.

T

A hundred million dollar project for a city center in east tampa.

T

Which will unfortunately move tampa's police headquarters right into the black community, while.

T

This might generate a 500 jobs. Unfortunately, it's not enough, and we have too many people who are.

T

Struggling to pay, rent um and businesses that are struggling right now, then um we need we need to.

T

Invest that money into the community and I'd also like to speak out in favor of um ready for 100.

T

I believe that tampa should, as soon as possible, move to 100 clean energy. Thank you so much.

T

Good day, my name is david, sinclair, 84, 34, pebble circle tampa florida.

T

I am the president of the council, 7259 of the league of united latin american citizens. I am.

T

Speaking today to the issue of whether the tampa city council will stay the course and support.

T

A resolution to lead this great city toward a 100, clean and renewable energy future by 2030.

T

In the midst of our multiple personal trials, in dealing with the current.

T

State legislature, struggles with those various bills dealing with.

T

Preemption of local decision making efforts, I do witness that many citizens in our florida cities.

T

Are in fear of what I would call a potential power grab by the state on the issue of home rule.

T

On energy related legislation and this gathering today by members of the tampa city council,.

T

A moment to capitulate to fear and trepidation that your previously courageous pronouncements.

T

That tampa must move toward a new and clean renewable energy horizon.

T

Will they have been in vain if preemption bills become law? Do you relish a legacy.

T

Which would say that you were ready to backtrack today in your verbal commitments under threats.

T

That preemption bills would silence your courage, stay firm and do not backtrack.

T

Tampa and the state of florida need your spine just ponder again on the health impacts.

T

To tampenians of supporting a resolution to lead us to a 100, clean and renewable energy future.

T

By 2030., why am I so passionate? It is because it is the right thing to do morally. Thank you.

G

Good morning my name is dr dominic castellano. I live at 5805 mariner. I'm calling to just express.

G

My concern for the current development that is taking place, uh particularly in the south, tampa.

G

Area along the west shore corridor personally and speaking of other neighbors, we we're developing.

G

Too fast west shores already overcrowded, uh particularly on the south side, development.

G

And on a north side aspect, the developments that are being proposed in my area, where I live are not.

G

Taking consideration the 1500 unit project, that's already planned for the western mall redevelopment.

G

Involving sears, in addition, the georgetown project in the mid portion of west shore has not even.

G

Been fully realized, in addition, the other problems with what are being proposed, particularly my area.

G

Is that, as a citizen and my neighbors, my community are not being involved in regards to the fact of.

G

Not being made aware of these developments, as well as the magnitude that it's going to have.

G

Not only from a transportation and congestion standpoint, but also from.

G

The standpoint of just disrupting the the entire community, I would also like to say that.

G

We are not against development, but I think it should be in cooperation with the property owners.

G

As well as the current residents, another concern is loss of green space with planned developments.

G

That are actively in preparation in the hoover mariner area and lastly, I just want to express.

G

That the increased density is also going to affect zoning from a public school standpoint.

G

I thank you for taking time for listening to my concerns, feel free to contact me at 813-774-0565.

G

I really believe we're at a critical juncture in helping tampa grow, but we need to do it in a way.

G

That is going to benefit everyone, not at the expense of those already present have a good day.

T

My name is sebastian ballister. I am a east a tampa resident. I live in 1906, east, idaho, wild avenue.

G

33610 and I'm calling in regards to the city's proposal of moving the tampa police department to.

G

East tampa for the cool cost of 100 million dollars. uh I don't understand, after everything.

G

That we have seen this past year, why? Why you guys would think that this is a good idea.

G

uh We wanted to refund the community uh and you guys decided that putting 100 million dollars.

G

Into the police department would be a better idea than giving it to the community or doing.

G

Anything for the community. The idea is that you will provide jobs for the city.

G

In our neighborhood, but all we see is more opportunity to overpolice an area that is.

G

Already over police and underfunded, so we are encouraging you to reject this proposal.

G

And do and keep the police department where it is uh and repair the building for the lower cost.

G

Of 35 million dollars and maybe give the rest of the 100 million to the community.

G

uh That sounds like a better idea. Thank you. So much for your time. Thank you.

H

Chair. That concludes the public comment portion of the agenda. Thank you very much. We're going.

F

From reduction in maintenance and all the moving parts involved in a gas engine and plus, of course,.

Doc is on the uh on the line or no that's not going gonna be for you, but who's on uh probably.

C

Legal department or andrea, okay, miss salmon.

C

J

We do have a substitute.

B

Were you able to hear me yeah guess name, we do have a substitute ordinance.

B

In the incentive section at point six point: five: two: fifteen p: um where we talk about.

Q

We have originally written to include the word. A release of one percent entertainment brought their.

T

Advisements to this kind of term of art, the proper term.

J

We change that word. Otherwise this is the identical ordinance that we already had. First reading on.

C

Any questions or comments, councilman vera- yes, sir! um No, I just wanted to just very briefly um go.

B

Over this, if I may for three minutes um go ahead, sir, if if I may, mr sure, thank you very much, I you.

B

Know I think that there's a lot of things um that are in order for this ordinance we've been working.

B

On this now for uh about 14 months or so, and um you know a lot of people coming together to have.

B

A lot of different discussions and dialogue and making this a collaborative ordinance, um you know.

B

In what I think is a very diverse uh coalition and partnership uh to support this ordinance, obviously,.

B

Our friends in labor, some of whom spoke here today that includes iron welders, pipefitters engineers.

B

uh Etcetera elect electrical workers, etc, etc. uh Coming together to support this a lot of folks in.

B

The religious community, uh reverend russell meyer with the florida council of churches um and then a.

B

Lot of um activist groups that are, you know, really really uh wanting to see uh some some results that.

B

We can measure, I know, we've gotten support from you, know great figures in the community like.

B

Donna davis, walter smith, among many many other people. You know we uh we here in tampa city.

B

Council meet with a lot of groups, and I always tell people this is an ordinance that really.

B

Moves us forward whenever it comes to dignity and and justice. You know we worked a lot with abc on.

B

This ordinance, I know it's very clear: they opposed this ordinance. um I I was disappointed that in the.

B

End we couldn't get something that we all agree on or could all um you know come together on in one.

B

Way or another, at least with some hesitation, I I respect that disagreement. 110 percent.

B

um And and whatnot, but I think it was important that everybody was was uh brought in as part of.

B

A dialogue on this because we wanted to be collaborative, uh you know I uh I heard a lot.

B

Of the complaints on the way, some of these uh ordinances have been passed in other places and.

B

I listened and I think we were able to make some effective change, not just through the.

B

Collaborative process by listening to people, but also by implementing changes, things like.

B

Like like andrew talked about making sure that if a contractor meets that 12 percent threshold.

B

Then giving them some of their uh retainage back. uh I think it is a fifth of the retainage that.

B

We hold so that the city has some skin in the game, so to speak, making sure that we have a very.

B

Good good faith exemption section and included in that the size of the business so that, if you're a.

B

Small business you get extra deference whenever it comes to uh good faith, accommodations because.

B

Our small businesses have got to be accommodated, and that's certainly something that this does.

B

Distinguishing between vertical and horizontal construction, so that we don't bite off more.

B

Than we can chew and getting a timeline in there so that the city does this right.

B

Etcetera, etcetera, many other points of distinction. I think from how other areas have done this and.

B

And I especially want to thank the administration, um andrea zellman. Thank you so much for your hard.

B

Work and your professionalism, we spent a lot of time on this together, uh brad baird who's.

B

Here brad, thank you. So much uh for all your hard work and your professionalism is professionalism.

B

As well as well as to the administration and mayor castor, you know this is something that.

B

You know before uh I as a bishop before I go through with it, we've got to make sure that.

B

The pope's willing to work with us on this, so to speak, and, uh and so I thank mayor caster for her.

B

Leadership and for her support of this ordinance and her support of training and apprenticeships.

B

Here in the city of tampa, because I think that as I've talked about before this is something.

B

That really goes to an idea that we really need to promote in this city. We always hear about the city.

B

Of tampa attracting the best and the brightest, and every time I've always heard that I always.

B

Think to myself again and again, they're talking about somebody from notre dame or for emery.

B

Or or from brown or whatever it may be, what about the person who wants to be a welder who wants to.

B

Do electrical work, who wants to do pipe fitting, who wants to have a pathway to the middle class.

B

They are also our best and our brightest, and that's what this does. This is a really you.

B

Know big idea: we talk a lot about big ideas and seeing what local government can do to.

B

Promote dignity and justice and opportunity for people and a pathway to the middle class. And this.

B

Ordinance really really does that. I also want to salute the county as well. Hillsborough county.

B

I know that some county commissioners there have taken this up county. Commissioner, pat.

B

Kemp, as well as county commissioner gwen myers I'll, be making a motion to have.

B

City of tampa work with hillsboro county on gwen myers's ace uh program uh for apprenticeships. As.

B

Well, we got to have all hands on deck and we have to take a look at all ideas that are out there.

B

The obvious elephant in the room is is what's happening in tallahassee and you know, what's going.

B

To happen in tallahassee is going to happen in tallahassee, and um I I think it's a shame that I.

B

Talk to a lot of people about this ordinance, a lot of people are interested in it and I'll tell you.

B

What I talked to republicans about this ordinance, I talked to democrats about this ordinance. I talk.

B

To independents about this ordinance and a lot of people support it, it's not something that I think.

B

Is is partisan or acute in an ideological sense? This is something that's collaborative and it's.

B

Something that people can get behind the skilled trades and and dealing with our aging workforce.

B

Providing more opportunity to our young people here, providing dignity and respect to communities.

B

That have been left behind important and young folks who have been left behind for.

B

Too long, that's what this ordinance does and that's something that our republican friends.

B

Our democratic friends, our independent friends, can get behind and that's what this is so again.

B

Thank you. Everybody who's been such a big part of this and and to our friends who maybe couldn't.

B

Support it in the end, you know we, we have common ground on certain issues and we have a.

B

Respectful disagreement and uh and I respect that disagreement, 110 percent, but it was a pleasure to.

B

Go through the collaborative process with everyone. Thank you, mr chair. Thank you very much. Councilman.

C

Goods- uh mr very you, you beat me to the punch on it, but you know my heart was always able to.

D

Apprenticeship programs on the campaign trail, uh I always talk about it in east tampa. We we have to.

D

When we do work with government money, we have to make sure those people that are under the trees.

D

Who don't have opportunity? Who sometimes had a misfortune in life, get an opportunity with.

D

These dollars, you know, I went to a vocational high school and I still have that certification.

D

So I always tell people the school system failed. Us, it failed us. We preached college for so long.

D

College isn't for everybody. You know my father had an eighth grade. Education.

D

Learned to be a truck driver drove every day, so we've got to get our school system. We you talk.

D

About republicans and with charter schools and the school system, you know and and it just behooves.

D

Me of how would you want to stop something, that's going to benefit and help all people.

D

Especially those people at the very bottom, because people sometimes may not have a total mindset.

D

But I know a lot of people are good with their hands and when they're working their mind, clicks.

D

Be the best mechanic you can ever see, you know be your best welder. You ever see we're.

D

Building a lot of stuff bridges and all kinds of things it takes welders to do a lot of that work.

D

Concrete pulling that mud, I know I did that when I came home from college one summer that wasn't for.

D

Me, but it's for a lot of people get out there and sling that mud know how to sling it. So I'm.

D

Glad we have a program in place. My prayer is that the constituents call tallahassee make sure these.

D

People understand that we have to have jobs for people at the lower levels to be able to survive.

D

See if you can have a couple dollars in your pocket, you can survive. You don't have crime.

D

You don't have people living pillow to post, you don't have a bunch of homeless people and.

D

Everybody, you know the different characters. Rich is about being homeless, because a lot of times.

D

I, when I was in that police car I drive by and I see mothers in those parking lots with those kids.

D

And going to mcdonald's to give them a bath, go to a school in the morning.

D

Guys go in the shower because they can't afford you know the rent, sometimes or out.

D

Of a job down that look, so I understand that the importance of having something like this.

D

I say the same thing when I see ra when we start to develop and buy in rehab.

D

Those cras- this is where this can come into a major play.

D

To get those folks to working, and now I always tell how my nephew became a painter painting.

D

My mother's house, and now he paints houses every weekend now because he learned a skill.

D

So again, mr beer, I thank you for your leadership on this and, of course, I was not here that week, but.

D

Again, I called in to mr shelby. Let me know that I did support this and I fully supported today.

D

Thank you, sir. Thank you very much council member central council member dan feldman. Thank you very.

C

Much mr chair, uh my colleagues, uh councilman goods and councilman dinkfelder were at a safer streets.

E

Where we had the ability to sit down and speak.

E

With the youth of east tampa and one of the things that they had mentioned was.

E

Give me a career, give me a path to a career, not a job, and I don't mean to.

E

Offend my friends at the casper corporation or the es family, but mcdonald's isn't a job.

E

These kids were saying: I want a career that will help me afford a house help me to send. Maybe one.

E

Of my children to college in the future councilman vera, I am glad that you have blazed a path.

E

For children, young adults to be able to take the course of getting a career.

E

A profession where one day they can use the money that they have collected from this.

E

To go into college or start their own businesses, so they can have helping hands for other children.

E

In their in their neighborhoods, I am glad I could support you. Congratulations, councilman vieira.

C

Councilman dingfielder. Thank you, mr chairman, um mr vieira. Thanks for uh shepherding this and leading.

F

This um this charge, as I was driving in this morning- I don't know if you all caught it.

F

Just before nine o'clock on wusf radio, they had a whole 10 minute discussion about preemption in.

F

Tallahassee and uh I'm going to pull up that pull up the transcript and ask mr shelby to.

F

To circulate it if appropriate, but but one of the things that struck me is- and this was the.

F

Conclusion of of the reporter, and a couple of folks who were talking is that preemption.

F

That we're suffering from on these issues is all about money and uh and when the nation talks about.

F

Washington dc and draining the swamp. I would argue that that swamp is now in tallahassee, because that.

F

Money goes flushing into tallahassee, most, you know millions and millions of people all across the.

F

State have no idea what their legislators do when they go up there and right now, they're doing wrong.

F

These preemption bills are just downright wrong. Tallahassee complains, when washington tells.

F

State government: what to do they turn around and tell local government how to handle our affairs.

F

So I think I think everybody needs to just stay in their own lane and and and the folks of of.

F

The city of tampa have told us over and over that we need, as councilman goods just said. We.

F

Need workforce development we need that type of training, apprentice, training and trades.

F

Plumbers and carpenters, and that sort of thing and those are good jobs. You know 20.

F

25 30 an hour jobs that, as councilman citroe, said, create real careers.

F

So I would just urge our legislators and I would urge the people who are listening.

F

To urge our legislators to go to tallahassee and and use their common sense and their common.

F

Sense says that this is a good bill locally and they should leave it alone. Thank you, mr.

C

Thank you very much and again, thank you, council, member of the year for all your work in this and.

C

Bringing this forward and see councilman sitra, I see you're the second on this and you know we.

C

Appreciate you opening the discussion and bringing this very, very important topic. You know out here.

C

In the open, because when we run for office, people ask us: what are you gonna do about jobs.

C

And we're not job creators we're a zoning board in many ways. You know we look at alcoholic beverage.

C

Permits and whatnot, you see how the agendas are, but when it comes to something like this.

C

We're not creating jobs, we're creating opportunity, we're we're. Building that pathway, we're paving.

C

That road to opportunity to what is essentially the american dream and I've said it time and time.

G

And again, college is not for everybody. Look at my brother-in-law. He has a high school diploma.

C

And he went into construction work, he married my sister and I will tell you this. They work very.

C

Hard both of them, because my sister also just has a high school diploma, but they have a great life.

C

Okay, they have a great life with two beautiful daughters living a happy life.

C

With home ownership and having a car and being able to every so often go on a little vacation.

C

But they work hard and the reason I'm saying this is college is not for everybody, but when you earn.

C

A earn and learn a skill such as a welder, a laborer, a plumber pipe fit or whatever it is.

C

It's a skill that no one can take away from you, you can live in tampa, you can live in.

C

California, you can go wherever you want, but that skill goes with you, meaning you always.

C

Have that opportunity for work as long as that work is there. So when we talk to young.

C

People when we talk to our youth- and I remember councilman sitra when he was campaigning in 2019.

C

One of his topics was workforce development, but I believe he's talked about youth development, youth.

C

Development and when we go to, I think it's our duty when we go to high schools, where we talk to.

C

Young people, whether it's the mayor's youth corps, whether it's the great american teaching and they.

C

Don't know or may not know what they want to do when they're older beyond high school beyond their.

C

Education, we can say, look, there's opportunities here, talk to one of these folks in the trades.

C

And in the unions and they'll teach you a skill that, when you're in your 20s or even before, that.

C

While you're learning you're being paid and you're earning money and then you'll see them at 24, 25 26.

C

Buying their first house buying a car being able to save money, earning benefits, health insurance.

C

Looking towards retirement one day, they won't have to be working forever. They can retire at a.

C

At a reasonable age and go from there and that's all part of the american dream and.

C

Us as city council, although people see us as well we're a zoning board, we're this and of that we're.

C

Not councilman vieira proposed this councilman citro ii that we supported this because I see.

C

A unanimous vote here, because we care about the future, we care about our youth, but we care about.

C

uh Showing folks that there is a path to the american dream, and this does that and when.

C

Tallahassee tries to step on our toes and we talk about preemption, something that councilman teacher.

C

Talks about home rule and preemption shame on them. You know we're trying to take care of our.

C

Community, the communities that we represent, the communities that we're here all the time.

C

We're close in the people that that are in our district that allow us this opportunity to serve.

C

We're there, and by doing this, we're showing them that we do care and we care about the future of.

C

This community so I'll stop there uh do. We have anybody here for public comment on item number 48.

H

Chair, we have the three that are registered to speak, but they spoke during public comments.

C

Okay, so that's out of the way counselors we need to close. We have motion collection for councilman.

C

Seatrou, do we have a second second councilman goods, all in favor, all right, councilman vieira.

C

Sir uh sure, thank you very much, mr chair and again uh this is uh 14 or 15 months of hard work and and.

B

Negotiation and meeting with people- and this goes to the idea of again respect for people where they.

B

Are respect for people's dreams, respect for the idea of the dignity of work and how that dignity.

B

Ought to result in some, you know just uh level of being able to live in in our in our society.

B

And again- and I also want to stress on the on the preemption issue, what I always tell people what's.

B

Ironic about it is that this ordinance is so reasonable. This ordinance was done. The right way.

B

You know we we, I wish that we could go and meet with the folks who are pushing this and and tell.

B

Them the story and how tampa did it, which is that we met with all stakeholders. We we incorporated.

B

Ideas into our ordinance we're not biting off more than we can chew, we're doing it. The right.

B

Way, tampa's doing it, smart we're promoting justice, opportunity and dignity for people.

B

Or respecting business, respecting of enterprise, respecting growth, that's the way we're doing it so.

B
