Yes,
sir,
it's
my
pleasure
and
my
honor
this
morning
to
welcome
erica
allen,
who
is
a
co-pastor
of
horizons.
Church
tampa
erica,
exudes
a
contagious
enthusiasm
and
fervent
passion
for
the
church
in
every
aspect
of
her
ministry.
F
She
serves
as
a
co-pastor
with
her
husband
chris
at
horizons
church
and
is
one
of
the
youngest
churches
in
the
florida
annual
conference
of
the
united
methodist
church.
Through
her
ministry
erica
aspires
to
impact
communities
and
transform
people
in
the
name
of
christ
in
every
place
she
serves.
If
we
could,
please
stand
and
pastor
erica,
take
it
away
good
morning.
Thank.
B
Of
noise
and
chaos
happening
in
the
world
and
in
his
life
and
in
his
city,
and
he
goes
out
to
hear
the
voice
of
god.
He
wants
to
hear
his
purpose
from
god
and,
as
things
are
crazy
and
wild,
there's
a
fire
and
an
earthquake
and
a
wind,
and
he
doesn't
hear
god's
voice,
whispering
god's
purpose
to
him
in
all
of
that
loud
noise.
He
hears
it
when
he's
still
and
quiet.
So
I
wanted
us
to
start
this
morning's
council
meeting
with
a
moment
of
quiet
and
silent
reflection
before
we
pray.
B
B
B
We
acknowledge
right
now
the
gift
of
mcdeal
air
force
base
to
this
city
of
tampa
and
right
now
we
pray
for
every
person
stationed
there.
Every
family
of
those
service,
men
and
women
protect
them,
give
them
courage
and
give
them
joy
in
their
work.
Thank
you,
god,
for
the
gift
that
macdill
air
force
base
is
to
our
city
god.
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
each
leader
in
the
seats
in
front
of
me
and
those
who
showed
up
to
support
our
city
behind
me.
B
B
B
B
Give
strength
to
the
people
of
this
city,
who
are
weary,
give
those
of
us
in
this
room
who
have
hope
and
light
the
courage
to
share
it
with
the
desperate
and
hurting
may.
Those
who
are
lonely
find
true
and
meaningful
community,
and
may
we
all
be
empowered
by
you
to
shine
light
and
ignite
change
throughout
this
city.
Amen.
F
E
In
light
of
what
is
french
by
the
last
four
days
that
I
can't
talk
about,
because
I
have
retained
counsel
and
again,
everyone
has
their
day
and
and
their
day
to
be
vindicated,
I'm
waiting
for
that
day
and
that
day,
what
will
happen,
but
in
light
of
making
sure
that
we
move
forward
and
making
sure
this
council
is
a
leader
can't
be
in
turmoil
and
try
to
leave.
E
E
At
this
time
I
like
to
put
a
motion
on
the
floor
that
I
stepped
down.
As
the
chairman
of
the
city
council
and
mr
maniscalco
be
the
elected
chair
of
the
council.
I
will
not
be
resigning,
but
I
will
step
down
as
the
chair
at
this
time
and
again
we
will
deal
with
all
the
things
that
come
along
with
what
we
have
to
do,
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
supporters.
E
E
I
can't
get
up
the
fight,
but
again
the
motions
on
the
floor.
I
missed
my
scalp
by
mr,
but
I
made
the
motion.
Mr
iran
has
seconded
roll
call
please.
Yes,
all
right,
I
did
pass
together.
We
have
a.
A
I
C
I
Thank
you,
sir.
I
I
just
wanted
to
let
everyone
know
that
this
week
I've
been
at
home
with
my
son.
Who's
had
covet
all
week
and
I
don't
yet
have
coveted
I've
tested
negatives
so
far,
but
because
I
was
exposed
to
him,
I
didn't
think
it
was
safe
or
prudent
to
be
in
the
room
today
with
my
colleagues
and
the
public,
I
didn't
want
to
put
other
people
at
risk,
so
thank
you
to
everyone
for
allowing
me
to
participate
remotely
also
because
of
this.
I
I
also
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
events
of
this
week.
Although
the
legal
department
has
advised
us
to
not
say
very
much,
I
did
want
to
say
that
the
comments
described
in
the
report
are
obviously
not
acceptable.
Also,
I
feel
terrible
for
the
claimant
and
the
claimant's
family,
who
have
not
only
had
to
endure
the
incidents
described,
but
now
also
the
intense
media
coverage.
I
would
ask
the
media
to
understand
that
these
are
real
people
who
we
know
and
they're
being
impacted
by
a
loss
of
privacy.
I
J
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
martin
shelby
city
council
attorney

trial
in
favor
hi
any
opponent?
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
all
right.
This
is
a
special
call
meeting
this
today
we
were
not
supposed
to
have
a
meeting,
but
we
moved
staff
reports
from
a
previous
meeting
to
today,
because
there's
likely
a
lot
of
discussion
on
some
big
items.
Is
there
any
cleanup
on
the
agenda?
I
know
10
and
11.
J
F
J
The
other
request
that
I
have
counsel
is
that
on
your
agenda,
there
is
no
not.
F
Very
much
council
member
vieira
to
add
information
reports
in
your
business.
Do
we
have
a
second
second,
second
council
member
miranda,
all
in
favor
aye.
J
C
Number
five,
which
I
had
asked
about:
the
discussion
of
senate
bill
620,
which
would
have
put
even
more
preemptions
on
local
governments
on
how
they
can
write
ordinances
and
the
consequences
to
those
ordinances
by
businesses.
C
I
have
talked
with
miss
kate
wells
in
our
legal
department
and
that
bill
was
amended
so
many
times
that
we
both
come
to
the
conclusion
that
it
will
not
affect
the
city
of
tampa
adversely,
in
my
opinion.
So
if
we
can,
if
no
other
council
member
has
any
objections,
I'm
satisfied
with
the
report
any.
M
F
Right
we
will
go
to
public
comment.
We
have
three
minutes
for
speaker.
You
have
the
agenda
or
may
have
seen
the
agenda.
Yes,
yes,
ma'am.
C
F
Have
a
motion
from
council
member
citroen,
second
council
member
miranda,
all
in
favor
aye
all
right,
any
opposed,
that's
it!
Okay!
We
will
now
go
to
public
comment.
Three
minutes
per
speaker.
If
you
were
to
approach
the
lectern,
please
state
your
name.
You
will
have
three
minutes
and
that's
any
item
on
the
agenda.
N
H
My
name
is
kela
mccaskill,
president
lifelong
native
of
tampa,
thank
you
for
the
privilege
of
participating
in
public
comments
today
to
the
greatest
leader.
That's
ever
represented
district
3
in
my
40-plus
years
of
existing
in
this
area.
I
want
to
say
to
you,
councilman
gools.
I
owe
you
an
apology
for
not
coming
to
you
sooner
regarding
the
failed
tasks
that
were
missed
with
your
former
aide.
H
I
believed
in
the
fabricated
stories
about
them
being
out
for
multiple
reasons,
learned
that
it
wasn't
true
and
I
didn't
report
it
because
I
was
convinced
that
they
really
had
some
situations.
The
woman
promised
me
she
was
trying
to
get
a
life
together.
She
told
me:
don't
report
I'm
trying
to
go
to
school,
I'm
trying
to
get
my
life
in
order
ma'am.
Can
you
help
me
I'm
not
able
to
do
this
role?
I
didn't
report
it
because
I
believed
in
those
fabricated
stories.
Sir.
H
I'm
sorry
because
I
believed
in
those
stories
the
woman
would
beg
me,
as
I
mentioned,
not
to
report,
and
I
did
that
and
I'm
sorry
that
now
you
hiring
a
recommendation
from
friends
your
face
with
such
hostility
from
people
that
that
have
no
idea
of
the
things
that
you've
done
in
the
community.
I'm
sorry
I
didn't
report
it
sooner.
She
was
fearful
of
losing
her
job
and
out
of
desperation,
she
went
and
fouled
a
suit
based
on
a
hostile
work,
environment,
things
that
should
not
even
come
up
and
it's
now
been
twisted
into
sexual
harassment.
H
Whatever
else
it
is,
but
I
want
to
say
to
you
as
one
of
the
many
women
that
support
you.
I
want
to
ask
you
that
now,
as
of
your
your
leadership
and
what
you've
done
in
east
tampa-
and
I
want
you
to
look
at
me
because
I'm
talking
to
the
leader
I'm
talking
to
you-
you,
the
leader
in
district
3,
because
of
that
now
we
have
a
owner
occupied
potentially
a
non-owner
occupied
rehab
program
that
will
help
the
residents
in
east
tampa.
H
You
restored
pride
and
dignity
of
ownership
for
these
seniors
that
felt
at
a
loss
because
they
could
not
do
certain
things
in
their
home.
You
led
that
charge.
You
led
the
charge
discussing
this
housing
crisis,
the
state
of
emergency,
we're
in
right.
Now
you
led
that
charge
because
of
you.
People
will
have
their
homes
cleaned
up
because
of
you.
Things
have
changed
in
this
district.
Various
collaborative
efforts
have
come
forward
as
a
result
of
what
could
be
because
of
you.
We
have
a
pre-development
program
that
could
be
developed
and
potentially
contribute
to
tax
dollars.
H
J
J
This
matter
appears
from
what
I
hear
to
be
likely
a
subject
of
litigation.
With
regards
to
the
merits
of
what
you
hear,
counsel
just,
please
know
that
confidential
confidentiality
still
attaches
to
our
obligation
as
a
city,
and
I
would
ask
you
to
be
mindful
and
I'd
like
the
public
to
know
that
if
council
does
not
respond,
it
is
because
of
advice
of
counsel
and
the
status
of
this
matter,
and
I'd
ask
that
you
be
mindful
of
that.
J
When
you
make
your
comments,
certainly,
and
and
if
you
hear
no
response,
please
direct
your
comments
to
the
board
generally,
rather
than
a
specific
council
member.
That's
also
requesting
the
rules.
I
appreciate
that
for
your
assistance
and
cooperation.
Thank
you.
J
O
If
I
may,
and
I'd
ask
that's
why
I
stepped
out
with
mr
shelby
outside,
because
I
asked
them
to
make
that
point,
because
I
knew
there
were
going
to
be
strong
opinions
on
them
with
which
we
may
agree
or
disagree,
and
I
didn't
want
anyone
to
think
that
our
failure
to
say
anything
was
was
statement
anyway.
So,
thank
you,
mr
shelby.
Thank
you.
H
Harrison
thank
you
board
for
letting
me
speak
today.
I'm
a
former
tampa
council
candidate
in
the
2016
race.
My
statement
today
is
orlando.
Goods
must
step
down.
He
is
sowing
seeds
of
chaos
within
the
community.
H
His
sexist,
bigoted,
misogynistic
and
homophobic
comments
show
that
he
does
not
support
a
large
portion
of
the
community
and
we
cannot
allow
this
to
stand.
His
immediate
resignation
is
needed,
so
we
can
all
move
forward
with
supporting
the
community
and
put
an
end
to
the
cloud
of
controversy.
He
has
hung
over
this
city
council.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
G
I
don't
really
know
the
specifics
about
it,
but
I
know
it's
the
same
pattern.
That's
been
going
on
since
buckhorn
and
the
same
pattern
going
on
right
now.
You
was
only
mr
charlie,
and
you
was
on
the
city
council
and
your
right.
There
was
on
it
the
same
pattern.
I
think
mr
gould
should
stay
because
he
brings
accountability
to
y'all
four
right
there,
five!
Well,
you
know
how
you
say
it,
but
it's
like
it's
no
safety.
G
I
think
it's
safety
with
him
right
here
in
the
city
council
getting
y'all
in
order
to
have
y'all
accountable
for
y'all
mess-ups.
I
could
say
a
lot
about
myself
and
what
y'all
did
to
me,
how
I
dropped
the
ball
with
everything,
my
civil
rights
and
all
that
all
y'all
should
be
locked
up.
How
y'all
did
the
police
department
it's
on
y'all?
You
got
a
legislative
board
council,
whatever
how
you
want
to
say
it.
I
think
mr
gould
should
stay.
G
I
really
do
it's
all
about.
Second
chances.
Right!
Isn't
that
right
safety?
Commissioner?
It's
all
about
second
chances
right,
so
you
gotta
inform
all
this
right
here.
I
I
bet
you
did
and
the
chief
of
staff
behind
me.
You
know
he
dropped
the
ball
many
times
too
with
me,
but
I
don't,
I
don't
think
yeah.
I
just
need
to
leave
all
this
right
here
alone
with
mr
ghouls,
because
there's
pressure
this
this
more
issues
in
the
city
is
going
on.
G
Then
this
right
here
yeah
I'm
making
it
about
one
person
and
stuff
like
that,
but
it's
more
pressing
issues
in
the
city
we're
going
on
housing
crisis,
everything's,
going
on
the
police
department
yo,
all
my
officer
got
locked
up
for
my
retired
officer,
got
locked
up
for
child
porn
on
your
watch,
mr
safety,
and
you
too,
mr
chief,
I
mean
y'all
been
dropping
the
ball.
It's
a
pattern
and
I
think
mr
gould
should
stay
and
he
should
not
resign.
G
You
know
if
he
is.
He
resigned.
That
means
that
what
y'all
trying
to
wash
everything
over
again
cover
it
up.
You
know
we
retired
I'm
tired
of
everything
getting
covered
up.
You
know,
I
think,
he's
today,
you
know
and
that's
that's
so
accountability
for
y'all,
especially
for
you,
mr
chief
of
staff.
I
mean
right
back
here
too,
and
you
right
there
and
you
charlie
you've,
been
here
for
a
minute.
Charlie
you've
been
hearing
some
buckhorn
and
I
don't
think
you've
been
doing
nothing
charlie.
G
I
got
I
got
19
18.,
please,
you
two
have
turned
you've
been
here
and
you've
been
reading
the
charter.
The
way
you
want
to
read
the
chart
city
charter,
where
you
want
to
read
it,
but
not
for
the
people,
you
you
don't.
You
know,
I
think
mr
gould
should
stay,
and
I
think
this
is
a
witch
hunt.
H
H
If
you
go
against
the
mayor,
that
things
would
be
bad
for
you,
that
was,
you
would
call
getting
ahead
of
a
report
that
was
independently
done.
The
can
get
this
community
riled
up
to
come
out
when
he
knew
that
this
report
was
coming
forth.
This
report
was
being
led
and
taken
care
of
before
we
even
knew
we
needed
a
chief
of
police
way
back
this
young
lady,
that
I
know
personally
that
I
counseled
and
spoke
to
this
young
lady
who
didn't
want
anything
to
be
done,
but
she's
not
the
only
victim.
H
There
are
other
victims
throughout
this
investigation.
I
want
to
thank
the
african-american
attorney
that
led
the
findings
of
18
out
of
19
charges.
Now
it
goes
further
than
that.
We
have
to
look
back
at
his
service
record
as
a
policeman.
Three
domestic
violent
charges.
Three,
then
you
had
the
incident
where
a
mother,
he
did
not
tell
a
mother
about
her
child
was
going
to
run
away,
but
on
the
very
next
day
when
she
did
run
away,
and
he
found
some
articles
of
hers.
H
And
then
this
council,
you
all
need
to
have
the
courage,
there's
a
code
of
actors,
the
city
have
that
has
he
has
violated.
He
has
violated
that
code
and
of
course
there
are
some
women,
because
african-american
women
have
been
treated
so
badly
ever
since
the
days
of
slavery.
They
answer
sometime
to
the
name
of
bees
and
ages,
who
feel
that
this
is
okay
because
they
are
used
to
this
kind
of
abuse.
H
Second
chances.
He
has
gotten
many
chances
over
and
over
and
over
and
then
once
again-
and
I
remember
sitting
in
the
same
chamber
when
he
spoke
and
cried
with
the
words
that
he
said
concerning
the
jewish
community.
So
how
many
chances
do
you
give
someone
who
continued
to
violate
the
trust
of
the?
Thank
you
very
much.
P
Mint
is
not
one
thing
about
white
america:
they
have
the
best
way
to
characterize
the
african
man,
the
african
woman
and
the
african
child
in
a
way,
that's
inhumane,
offensive,
derogatory,
condescending
and
most
of
all,
beast-like
or
more
related
to
a
wild
animal
with
no
ethics,
no
morals,
no
standards,
no
emotions
and
no
intellect
the
wild
negro
three-fifths
of
a
human
being.
That
cannot
be
trusted
with
responsibility
or
character.
P
The
black
person
who
sat
in
this
seat
before
orlando
goose
was
accused
of
sexual
misconduct.
The
black
man
who
sat
in
that
seat
before
him
was
accused
of
character,
misappropriation
and
bad
judgment,
and
the
black
man
who
sat
in
that
same
seat.
The
first
african
ever
sat
in
this
city,
council
chambers,
mr
perry
harvey,
was
also
accused
of
being
ethically
morally
and
responsible
for
certain
things.
P
P
P
Everyone
wanted
to
give
a
white
lady
a
second
chance,
not
that
white
woman
is
the
city
of
tampa
police
chief,
even
some
of
the
same
white
racers,
that
smiles
in
the
black
man's
face
and
hang
around
the
black
people
in
the
black
community
as
buzzards
the
same
ones
just
two
weeks
ago
who
wanted
to
give
the
white
woman
a
second
chance.
People
have
to
use
my
formula
in
the
workplace
on
my
first
day
of
the
job.
P
K
F
H
Yes,
good
morning,
connie
burton
here
we
are-
and
I'm
glad
I'm
here
this
morning,
because
what
I
want
to
address
is
what,
as
when
you
was
the
chair,
councilman
and
the
board
approved
of
how
we
was
going
to
deal
and
address
the
issues
through
your
resolution
of
how
african
and
african
community
has
been
so
dispossessed.
H
We
can
have
a
sense
of
hope
by
moving
east
temple
forward,
I'm
also
in
opposition
with
the
hannah
street
project,
because
we
cannot
have
a
two-folded
system
where
african
people
are
being
asked
to
address
issues
and
to
compete
for
the
ability
to
have
economic
means
inside
of
our
community,
and
we
have
backdoor
policies
where
the
rfp
is
not
brought
forward.
I'm
asking
you
to
have
courage
this
morning
to
have
courage
to
say:
let's
redo,
that
process
and
give
everybody
the
ability
to
move
forward
in
terms
of
distractions
that
we
see
from
the
national
standpoint.
H
We
have
the
january
6
commission
that
is
necessary,
but
yet
we
can't
move
forward
with
voting
rights
act.
We
can't
deal
with
the
criminal
justice
act.
We
have
issues
raging
inside
of
these
communities,
but
yet
again
the
issues
of
african
people
cannot
be
addressed.
I
am
asking
you
to
look
at
your
resolution
that
you
signed
in
2020
and
move
from
that
standpoint
that
every
time
you
see
the
agenda
coming
forward
that
will
address
this
city
becoming
better.
P
Robbie
soon
listen
man,
cell
phones,
text
messages,
human
resource
investigation,
design,
build
water
supply,
reclaimed,
water,
police,
appointment
and
ain't;
no
roads
getting
fixed
ain't;
no
potholes
ain't,
no
affordable
housing;
now
you're
getting
real
close
to
the
fbi
coming
into
this
city.
I'm
just
going
to
tell
you
straight
up
now:
perry
harley,
kevin
white,
orlando,
google's
all
black
men
accuse
the
son.
P
Thanks
for
stepping
down
chair
ex-chair,
mr
goose,
that
saved
a
lot
of
headache
this
morning.
It's
two
sides
of
every
story
and
that
report
is
not
the
complete
report.
That's
only
60
pages
of
report.
That's
longer
than
that.
So
let's
not
jump
to
conclusion
until
we
have
all
of
the
report
and
I'm
concerned
of
how
it
got
released
without
being
a
full
complete
legal
document,
not
partial
public
record
releases.
P
Now
I'm
gonna
be
quiet
and
talk
about
how
hannah
avenue
with
the
last
156..
I
don't
look
at
it.
I
don't
talk
about
it
and
I
came
down
here
and
raised
hell
about
it.
Being
the
design
bill
expert,
I'm
gonna
go
along
with
what
legal's
proposing
we
don't
need
to
throw
the
baby
out
in
the
bath
water.
P
We
need
to
go
forward
with
what
we're
doing
with
the
minority
business
they've
got
people
there
you're
getting
the
aria
you're
getting
the
owners,
rep
you're,
getting
all
that
together,
they're
breaking
it
down.
You
know
the
community
is
listening
and
we're
getting
forward.
We
got
enough
confusion
going
on
100
million.
Let's
make
sure
100
million
get
distributed
equitably.
P
That's
the
key!
Now
the
fix
mayor's
executive
order
at
least
start
with
96-17
right,
mr
massey.
We
need
to
look
at
that
design
bill
local
procedure,
tweak
it
fix
it
I'll
provide
input.
I
did
the
same
thing
for
hillsborough
county
design,
bill
people
don't
even
know
it.
The
person
is
calling
me
up
and
say
I
need
your
expertise
when
you
work
with
us
for
eight
and
ten
hours
sitting
over
there
free
getting
it
straight
now
and
they
went
and
then
procured
the
design
build
one
of
the
largest
design
bills
at
the
county,
so
city
attorney.
P
I
provide
my
expertise
to
help
you
because
I
know
we
got
plenty
designed
bills
in
my
last
28
seconds.
Mr
maniscalco,
congratulations.
I
just
hope
to
see
who
gonna
be
the
pro
temp
chef.
I
didn't
see
your
photo
on
that
yeah.
There's
got
to
be
somebody
to
replace
that,
so
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
willing
to
work
with
the
city,
but
the
city
needs
to
work
with
us
people
out
here
that
know
this
stuff
and
get
a
good
design
bill
mass
executive
order.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
F
Sir,
please
say
your
name
before
you
speak.
P
Good
morning,
mr
new
chair
and
council
members,
we
didn't
come
here
initially
to
speak
about
mr
goose
or
mr
dingfelder,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
on
matters
that
we
brought
before.
P
Is
my
name
I'm
representing
the
temple
organization
of
black
affairs?
Yes,
sir,
thank
you.
I've
got
two
of
my
members
from
the
71
brexit
group
in
toba
here,
so
we
didn't
come
to
talk
about
that.
But
I'll
say
that
on
matters
we
brought
before
this
council
we've
been
contacted
by
several
members,
including
mr
goose,
about
things
that
are
important
to
black,
the
black
community.
We
stand
with
the
folks
who
spoke
about
issues
special
interests
that
is
important
to
the
black
community.
P
We
don't
tolerate
disrespecting
black
people
and
we
don't
tolerate
any
disregard
for
black
business
owners.
So
we
came
to
talk
about,
and
so
we
appreciate
mr
goose
and
everybody
on
the
council
who
supported
us.
Every
time
we
came
representing
the
issues
that
we
represent
for
the
black
community,
including
mr
dean
felder,
when
he
did
that
now
on
hannah
avenue
on
january
11th,
we
heard
about
this
issue
from
one
of
the
blacks,
some
several
black
contractors.
P
So
we
did
our
research
fact
and
data
research
and
found
out
as
much
as
we
could
from
all
the
key
stakeholders
from
city
staff,
dpr
black
contractors
and
leaders
in
the
community,
and
we
formulated
what
we
thought
was
a
a
negotiation
point
with
dpr
to
have
them
to
consider
relinquishing
some
of
their
self-performing
work
and
relinquishing
some
of
their
cm
work
which
they
agreed
to
do,
and
we
thought
that
was
a
positive
thing.
Now.
P
They
we
don't
know
where
they
are
on
contract
closure
with
black
owned
companies,
but
we
know
they're
in
conversation
with
a
lot
of
black
owned
companies.
To
do
that.
So
that's
a
positive
thing.
We
talked
with
the
city
attorney
about
having
the
city
have
owners
owners
rep,
which
should
have
been
done
before
they
signed
the
contract
in
the
first
place,
but
it's
being
retroed,
but
it's
a
limited
scope.
P
It's
dealing
with
the
mbe
or
ebo
component
and
apprenticeship
program
when
in
fact
it
should
be
a
complete
oversight
of
108
million
dollars
being
spent
that
city
staff
will
be
stretched
to
make
sure
they
get
done
properly.
So
I
think
staff
is
looking
at
that
and
talking
with
the
mayor
and
talking
with
all
of
the
people
that
are
involved
with
this
process
from
the
internal
auditor,
the
the
the
mbe
manager,
we
talk
with
chief
of
staff,
we
talk
with
all
of
the
people
involved.
P
P
P
Orlando
goose
is
a
former
policeman
and
at
the
end
of
this
whole
process,
you
guys
are
using
the
age-old
book
of
how
to
get
rid
of
a
black
man
once
to
get
in
power.
The
same
old
process
happened.
This
incident
didn't
happen
last
week.
This
incident
happened
a
year
year
and
a
half
ago
or
even
longer,
but
a
couple
weeks
ago
it
came
to
a
vote
on
the
new
chief
of
police.
P
P
That
being
said,
he
did
not
physically
strike
an
officer
on
duty
doing
their
duty,
and
I
was
following
just
a
foreign,
but
somehow
it
was
never
considered
to
be
a
felony
and
that
person
is
now
chief
of
police.
So
I
know
you
guys
are
into
second
chances,
because
I
heard
every
one
of
you
explain
to
us
what
white
privilege
is
because
all
those
incidents
you
did
could
have
been
game
changers
for
you
and
your
family.
P
So
so
I'm
saying
right
now,
orlando
ghouls,
I
mean
he
stepped
down
from
being
chairman,
that's
a
good
thing,
but
I
don't
think
he
did
anything
to
be
crucified
here
this
morning,
for
and
and
and
the
fact
that
politics
is
a
blood
sport.
You
guys
knew
a
year
year
and
a
half
ago.
This
thing
has
been
ongoing
but
like
like
the
good
kind
people,
you
are
you
right,
you
waited
to
the
right
moment
to
leak
this
to
the
to
the
public,
so
it
could
be
a
big
deal.
H
My
name
is
robin
lockett
good
morning
council.
I
come
forward.
I
come
before
you
this
morning
as
robin
lockett,
a
concerned
and
disappointed
citizen
of
the
city
of
tampa.
I
chose
not
to
talk
behind
your
back,
but
come
on
and
face
come
to
confront
you
face-to-face
with
my
concerns.
H
The
background
to
this
is,
I
read
the
report,
the
entire
report,
the
accusations,
the
investigations,
the
investigators
excuse
me
summation
councilman,
goose
side
and
the
witnesses.
What
the
witnesses
said.
Where
is
all
of
the
report?
H
I
received
many,
so
many
phone
calls
from
the
community
with
wanting
to
know
what
my
thoughts
were
and
the
individuals
that
called
provided
me
with
theirs.
The
consistent
question
based
on
the
information
was,
you
know:
where's
the
sexual
harassment
right,
there's
a
narrative
that
was
created
initially
by
the
news
and
by
city
council
by
city
of
tampa.
They
called
it
sexual
harassment.
H
H
19
is
when
the
complaint
was
made,
and
I
know
how
it
is
for
someone
to
complain
about
when
you
start
holding
your
employee
accountable.
If
that's
what
happened,
I
know
how
it
is
when
you
start
holding
that
person
accountable
and
then
they
want
to
because
they're
in
fear
of
their
job,
because
they're
not
doing
the
best
or
they
have
issues
with
their
job,
and
I'm
not
here
to
badger
a
black
woman,
because
I'm
black.
H
So
I'm
not
here
to
do
that,
but
I
do
believe
in
the
proper
due
process
and
what's
fair
and
right.
So
when
someone
is
there's
situations
wherein
a
person
is
not
doing
the
best
or
don't
know,
don't
have
the
tools
to
do
the
best
they're
in
fear.
Right
that
I
don't
know
what
that
situation
is.
I
know
how
I
felt,
because
when
I
started
holding
my
employee
accountable,
then
they
want
to
claim
all
the
hostile
work
environment.
All
these
other
things
right.
H
You
know
if
it
was
219,
councilman
goose.
You
were
elected
in
what
218.
H
Oh
218.,
so
again
a
year
in
the
job
supervising
somebody
somebody's,
a
friend,
where's,
the
due
process,
where's,
the
coaching
where's,
the
the
conversation
between
the
two.
If
this
is
true
to
to
you
know,
it
could
have
been
just
one
remark
allegedly,
but
where
does
the
help
from
the
city
come
in
before
you
know?
H
G
Please
stay
here:
your
name
is
clay
dings.
I
live
3708
each
north
bay-
I'm
not
here
to
be
the
judge
in
the
jury.
Let
the
courts
handle
that,
but
I'm
here
for
this
right
here,
I'm
very
I
pay
taxes
for
two
houses
and
can't
sleep
in
either
one
of
them
because
of
the
live
music.
G
I've
been
complaining
about
and
then
y'all
turn
around
and
help
most
of
the
evo
city
area,
certain
neighborhoods
and
leave
us
out,
and
you
let
the
the
lobbies
come
here
and
the
lawyers
you
know
and
try
to
get
y'all
to
do
what
they
want
to
do
to
help
their
pocketbook
y'all
need
to
deal
with
this
live
music.
I
told
y'all
the
last
time
I
was
here.
G
You
need
to
get
norris
free
florida
here,
judy
ellis
who
specializes
in
noise
and
get
the
engineers
here
to
solve
this
problem,
because
we're
going
backwards
and
folks
backwards
and
forth
y'all
going
back
and
forth
with
this
noah's
problem
that
base
travel,
that
thump
boom
boom
boom
boom
and
it
gets
on
people's
nerves.
They
get
a
certain
age.
Like
me,
when
young
people
get
my
age
40
years
from
now,
they'll
say
he
was
right
and
I'd
be
dead.
G
They'd
say
that
guy
was
right,
but
this
noise
is
terrible
and
y'all
forgot
about
east
tampa,
like
you
do
with
everything
else
we
left
out
in
the
dark.
We
pay
taxes
like
david's
island,
but
this
noise
thing
y'all
y'all
got
together
and
did
it's
no
good
y'all
gonna
be
back
at
the
table.
Again,
it's
not
affected.
G
It's
not
going
to
work
and,
while
y'all
going
back
and
forth
with
the
noise
on
y'all
need
to
get
julie
ellis
from
saint
pete,
norris
free
florida
and
get
the
engineers
here
have
a
workshop
and
start
all
back
over
again
to
solve
this
problem,
because
I
know
some
of
y'all
don't
care
cause
y'all
sleeping
at
night
had
one
commissioner
city
council
called
me
and
say:
I'm
gonna
help
you
with
this
problem.
We
a
long
time
ago,
not
one
say
we're
gonna
get
with
the
mirror
and
we're
gonna
try
to
solve
this
problem.
G
E
J
Chairman
just
a
reminder,
because
I
see
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
present
and
and
just
to
know
that
there
is
no
additional
opportunity
for
public
comment.
These
are
not
workshops,
so
if
there
is
anybody
else
who
wanted
to
speak
now
would
have
been
the
time
just
to
let
people
know.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you
very
much.
Do
we
have
registered
speakers
three,
all
right,
we'll
start
with
the
first
one:
go
ahead,
who's
the
first
speaker.
N
G
Much
my
name
is
michael
randolph
and
I'm
with
the
west
temple
cdc
two
things
I
want
to
talk
about
today.
The
first
is
a
meeting.
That's
coming
up
on
april
the
26th,
it's
a
virtual
meeting.
It's
a
national
discussion
on
what
works
it's
going
to
be
talking
about
public
health,
public
safety
and
economic
development
and
the
connection
between
the
team.
The
focus
is
affordable,
housing,
job
creation,
public
safety,
economic
development
and
mental
health.
G
As
part
of
the
strategy.
The
last
day
we
had
12
states
to
repair
this
upcoming.
We
had
20
different
states
that
are
registered
hope.
Someone
from
the
city
council
does
attend
their
nation
because
they
talk
about
what
works
and
you're
going
to
hear
from
people
from
around
the
country.
That's
doing
amazing
things.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
is
this:
an
update
on
the
upcoming
roam
streak
projects,
the
west
ham,
the
cdc
part
of
that
is
to
provide
a
business
component
consisting
of
home-based
class
e-commerce.
G
What
we
plan
to
do
is
to
bring
about
120
new
jobs
for
residents
in
the
west,
tampa
area
and
out
of
those
hundred
choice
jobs
over
the
next
five
years.
200
new
jobs
will
be
created
as
a
result
of
those
people
that
create
those
jobs.
Again,
this
is
about
putting
residents
in
a
position
where
they
can
start
their
own
business.
We
call
it
west
tampa
back
wall
street,
I'm
so
saddened
by
the
issues
that's
going
on
counseling
congress.
G
A
lot
of
things
goes
on
lights,
your
ups
and
your
damn,
but
you
must
shine
because
this
teeth
should
pass.
I'm
going
to
take
your
sides,
but
sir,
this
tube
must
pass
stand
tall
because
you
represent
more
than
one
incident
and
I'm
not
getting
the
holes
in
the
hoop,
but
you
did
a
great
job
and
you're
doing
a
great
job
stand
tall.
Thank
you.
H
H
H
Today,
let
the
record
reflect
that
jackson,
heights
neighborhood
association
and
crime
watch
along
with
belmont
heights
college
hill
association.
President,
you
fully
support
and
stand
beside
our
city
councilman,
orlando
goodes,
councilman
deuce.
You
stay
strong,
we
elected
you
into
office,
stay
strong,
sir!
H
D
Thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
gene
strommeyer,
I'm
going
to
run
through
the
agenda,
the
agenda,
the
items
that
y'all
are
going
to
speak
about
just
think
about
these
words
item
number
one.
Regarding
consultants,
I
had
said
at
the
last
meeting
that
you
know
having
a
consultant
in
infiltrate.
D
D
If
you
go
against
the
the
powers
that
be
then
watch
out,
I
know
four
of
you
are
safe.
The
parking
issue,
the
parking
issue
again,
just
race
race,
race,
race.
I
park
downtown
all
the
time
in
my
business
and
there's
just
no
place
to
park
because
nobody
can
afford
it
and
then
the
tickets
start
piling
up
local
business
protection.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea.
Number
five
on
the
agenda
number
seven
and
eight
has
to
do
with
south
of
gandhi.
You
all
know
how
we
feel
down
here
and
east
tampa.
D
Y'all,
just
so
you
know,
gentrification
doesn't
just
happen
there.
It's
happened
here.
Our
children
cannot
get
a
place
to
live
in
our
community
where
they
grew
up.
Just
you
know
it's
just
not.
It
doesn't
happen
down
in
east
tampa
only
it
happens
everywhere
and
especially
here,
because
we
are
working
people
down
here
with
a
nine
to
five
number.
Nine.
Second
chance
bands,
the
box,
that's
so
stupid,
come
on
y'all
seriously.
Let's
just
really
this
this.
This
city
has
gotten
more
racist.
D
If
you
keep
talking
about
racism,
y'all
keep
bringing
it
up
and
and
bringing
the
fact
that
goots
is
being
railroaded
for
his
for
his
speaking
on
behalf
of
neighborhoods
is
a
race
card.
That
is
shameful.
So
whoever
says
that
y'all
need
to
just
stop
and
that,
oh,
that
claimant
now
works
for
the
mayor.
Isn't
it
a
that's
what
I
understand.
That
was
what
I
was
told.
I
haven't
verified
independently,
but
now
she
works
for
the
mayor
and
then
all
of
a
sudden,
this
thing
broke
leaked
again.
D
We've
got
a
problem
with
leakage
over
there.
I
think
we
need
to
plug
that
hole.
And
lastly,
I
do
pray
for
this
city
every
day.
I
pray
in
the
name
of
jesus
that
this
city
is
protected
and
every
day
at
eight
o'clock
p.m.
For
the
last
four
years,
I've
prayed
for
this
city,
the
county,
the
hills,
the
state
of
florida
and,
of
course,
all
the
people
that
are
in
power,
so
y'all
have
a
great
day.
K
Yes,
sir,
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
opening
comments.
John
bennett,
chief
of
staff,
you
know
before
the
the
stakeholder
staff
gets
involved.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
on
behalf
of
the
administration.
I
didn't
really
plan
to
speak
on
the
item,
but
and
I'm
going
to
mention
the
names
because
they're
in
the
agenda.
Normally,
I
wouldn't
focus
on
any
key
individuals,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
mr
robinson
and
mr
ransom
and
toba
for
their
involvement
in
making
the
city
a
better
place.
K
K
While
we
did
a
national
search
to
find
the
best
opportunity
to
move
the
city
forward
in
a
lot
of
these
spaces-
and
so
progression
is
part
of
the
journey
and
again
all
input
is
always
welcome.
We
really
appreciate
the
feedback,
but
we
also
know
that
you
know,
as
mr
robinson
said,
we
have
to
move
forward.
Mr
ransom
takes
on
the
same
approach
with
his
team.
I've
been
to
their
breakfast
meetings.
I've
talked
with
them
so
again,
just
for
the
record.
F
R
Good
morning,
council
morris
massey
deputy
city
attorney
for
the
record.
As
you
are
aware,
we
submitted
a
memorandum
earlier
this
month
to
address
items
10-11
per
council's
request.
I'm
here
this
morning,
joined
by
adrie
kalina,
who
is
the
director
of
logistics
and
assets
management.
We
also
have
available
online
other
directors.
R
In
fact,
sal
rigerio
is
behind
me,
but
also
gene
duncan
and
brad
baird,
to
the
extent
that
you
need
their
expertise
on
some
of
the
questions
that
have
been
raised
so
we're
here
this
morning
to
talk
about
hannah
avenue
and
per
council's
request.
We
have
reviewed
the
materials
and
information
and
questions
that
were
raised
by
mr
robinson,
ms
neff,
mr
ransom,
mr
king
and
others,
and
to
us.
The
questions
seem
to
follow
in
kind
of
three
categories.
One
is
the
process
for
the
approval
of
the
contract
is
one
set
of
questions.
R
Then
there's
another
set
of
questions
about
community
engagement,
the
outreach
to
east
hampton
in
particular,
but
also
efforts
being
made
by
the
city
and
by
our
the
selected
dpr.
The
selected
design
build
firm
to
implement
a
very
aggressive
35
percent,
combined
women
to
minority
business
enterprise
and
small
local
business
enterprise
goal.
That's
part
of
this
contract,
so
that-
and
so
ms
kalina
is
here-
and
representatives
from
dpr
are
here
to
address
that
element.
R
Then
there
has
been
some
questions
raised
about
the
application
of
the
city's
newly
enacted
apprenticeship,
ordinance
and
how
that
relates
to
this
project
so
and
we'll
try
to
cover
that
as
well.
So
those
seem
to
be
the
three
basic
areas.
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
outline
to
council
how
we're
going
to
address
that
this
morning,
first
relative
to
the
process
and
legal
requirements.
R
As
council
is
aware,
the
hannah
avenue
project
is
being
constructed
as
a
design
built
under
a
design
build
contract,
which
means
that
it's
subject
to
section
287.055
florida
statutes,
which
is
commonly
referred
to
as
the
consultant's
competitive
negotiation
act
or
ccna,
and
the
city
of
tampa
is
my
friend
mr
robinson
mentioned,
who
has
adopted
local
rules
to
implement
the
ccna
statute,
our
rules
date
to
1996
and
they
tracked
the
statute
very
closely.
R
R
First
of
all,
the
both
the
stats
and
rules
require
that
a
request
for
qualification
or
request
for
proposal
has
to
be
published
advertised
for
the
project.
It
has
to
include
a
design
criteria
package
that
has
general
parameters
for
the
project.
R
R
R
So
that
was
part
of
the
2015
scope
and
in
fact
one
of
the
first
items
that
dpr
was
required
to
do
under
the
2015
contract
was
to
evaluate
the
buildings
on
site
to
determine
whether
renovation
was
the
was
a
viable
option
and
the
cost
and
the
price
that
was
quoted
in
2015
was
really
based
on
the
renovation
option,
whether
that
was
that
was
a
viable
option
when
they
got
in
and
looked
at
the
buildings,
it
was
determined
that
renovation
really
was
not
a
viable
option
for
those
buildings,
and
so
there
were
not
sufficient
sums
on
hand
at
that
time,
so
they
didn't
have
funding
on
hand
to
proceed
with
the
other
option.
R
That
was
part
of
the
2015
pr
rfq
and
the
2015
design
build
contract.
So
the
contract
was
put
on
hold,
it
was
not
terminated.
We
never
severed
our
contractual
relationship
with
dpr.
It
was
just
put
on
hold
when
sufficient
funds
were
identified
in
2020
to
proceed
with
the
the
demolition
and
new
construction
option.
R
R
We've
looked
at
this
issue,
both
at
the
time
that
it
was
done
when
we
proceeded
back
in
2021,
and
then
we
revisit
the
issue
again.
Based
on
the
comments
that
you
received
in
the
questions
that
we've
heard
here
and
looked
at
the
case
law
and
the
authorities
cited,
you
know
one
of
the
things
you
find
when
you
look
at
the
the
authorities
in
case
law
and
ccna
is
it's
very
fact
specific
and
the
facts
in
these
cases
really
don't
apply
to
the
hannah
avenue
situation.
R
You
had
some
of
the
cases
that
cited
deal
with
a
municipality
that
asked
for
architectural
services
without
going
through
ccna.
Well,
architectural
services
were
part
of
our
package.
Some
of
the
authorities
deal
with
continuing
contracts.
This
is
not
a
continuing
contract.
Some
of
them
deal
with
phased
contracts.
This
is
not
a
phase
contract.
R
The
labor
and
material
costs
are
skyrocketing,
so
that's
that
led
to
a
huge
increase
in
cost
for
the
project,
but
it's
our
legal
opinion
that
we've
complied
with
the
ccna
process
and
the
that
the
product
there's
no
basis
for
the
project
to
not
move
forward,
there's
really
no
basis
to
rescind
the
project
legally
and,
quite
frankly,
much
like
some
of
the
other
comments
made
this
morning.
We
believe
discussion
about
rescission
is
likely
to
result
in
litigation.
Would
warn
the
council
not
to
proceed
there,
so
I'm
available
for
questions.
R
Ms
kalina,
real,
quick
and
miss
colin
will
follow
me
with
the
dpr
folks
to
talk
about
the
ebo
efforts
that
have
been
undertaken
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
selecting,
as
has
been
mentioned,
at
owner's
rep,
to
help
us
to
make
sure
that
dpr
does
comply
with
those
aggressive,
wnbe
slbe
percentages
and
that
they
do
comply
with
the
city's
apprenticeship
coordinates.
E
R
Yes,
sir,
we
we
have
typically
not
engaged
and
underrepresented
on
our
project.
We've
primarily
relied
on
our
contract
administration
staff
to
oversee
it.
But
given
this
project
the
sensitivity
of
this
project,
we
have
gone
out
for
an
rf,
what's
called
an
rfa
and
we're
in
the
process
of
selecting
an
owner's
rep,
specifically
to
ensure
that
dpr
does
comply
with
the
ebo
requirements
that
are
in
the
contract,
the
35
goal
for
wnbe
slbe.
R
I
think
it's
20
wnb
15
slbe.
I
think
you're
going
to
hear
from
dpr
and
from
adrie
and
and
sal.
We
think
we're
going
to
probably
exceed
those
percentage
totals
hopefully,
but
that
there
that,
and
also
because
we
are
now
implementing
the
apprenticeship
ordinance
for
the
first
time
and
it's
a
different
kind
of
setting
here,
because
we
started
under
ccna
way
back
when
part
of
the
owner's
reps
obligations
or
duties
will
be
to
ensure
that
dpr
complies
with
our
newly
enacted
apprenticeship
ordinance.
E
E
That's
my
biggest
concern
when
we're
listening
to
all
of
the
sources
in
the
community
talking
about
making
sure
everyone
has
that
and
the
biggest
thing
I
don't
know
what
the
cost
of
this
person,
but
I've
heard
the
cost
may
be
kind
of
low
that
you're,
maybe
asking
for
this
person
to
oversee
this
project,
and
I'm
not
expert
on
that.
But
I'm
here
that
number
may
be
a
little
bit
low
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
the
best
people.
E
You
know
at
a
good
price,
make
sure
we
got
somebody
who
can
really
do
the
project
and
be
accountable
for
every
step
along
the
way
to
be
showing
council
and
the
public.
Yes,
sir,
the
numbers
cost
analysis
and
so
forth.
So
it's
it's
all
above
board.
No
one
can
say
it's
not
happening
over
there.
That's
my
biggest
concern.
K
F
You
and
before
I
go
to
councilman
citro.
My
two
biggest
concerns
with
this
are
because
it's
a
lot
of
money.
It's
over
100
million
dollars
invested
in
the
east.
Tampa
community
is,
as
I
see
the
unions,
the
union
reps
in
the
back.
We
have
the
ordinance
in
place,
and
I've
said
time
and
time
and
again
you
know
apprenticeship
programs
how
important
they
are.
My
brother-in-law
went
right
out
of
high
school
into
construction.
He
earns
a
great
living
college,
isn't
for
everybody.
F
We
talk
about
job
creation
and
whatnot
is
what
we
can
do
as
council
members
we're
not
job
creators,
but
in
situations
like
this,
I
think
apprenticeship
programs
are
so
important
because
you're
going
out
into
the
local
community
you're
lifting
people
up
offering
them
a
path
to
a
good
future
with
a
good
income.
You
know
a
good
shot
at
the
american
dream.
That's
so
important!
I
see
mr
ransom
here.
He
had.
You
know
concerns
regarding
you
know,
contracts
and
again.
F
As
enough
money
to
go
around
for
a
lot
of
people
and
if
we
can
employ
hire,
use
subcontract
with
as
many
local
firms
as
possible
minority
women
owned
whatever
it
is
to
lift
up
our
community
to
reinvest
into
our
community,
because
when
you
have
local
hands,
building
a
local
project,
there's
a
certain
sense
of
pride,
whoever
it
is
their
father,
their
mother.
F
Whatever
to
say,
I
built
that
you
know
we
worked
on
that,
and
so
that's
what's
important
to
me
is
investing
and
making
sure
that
everyone
has
is:
has
access
to
equity
and
everyone
has
a
fair
shot.
Again,
it's
a
lot
of
money
and
it's
money
that
needs
to
be
invested
as
much
as
we
can
into
the
community.
Councilman
cedric.
F
C
Chair
and
then
with
the
with
the
with
the
leadership
of
councilman
vieira
and
our
council,
we
did
bring
an
ordinance
for
apprenticeship
programs
and
I
was
concerned.
Are
we
going
to
have
a
a
report
on
that,
along
with
everything
else
and
of
those
apprenticeships?
Are
we
also
asking
for
the
same
amount
of
women,
black,
owned,
african-american
and
and
asian
and
latinos,
to
be
able
to
work
in
this
mentorship
program?
Is
that
a
pre-wix
at
also.
R
R
You
know
the
apprenticeship
at
both
the
prime
level
and
at
the
subcontracting
level
that
we
do
look
at
the
project
overall
to
meet
the
percentage
goals
and
that-
and
I
think
mozellman
can
probably
address
how
we
would
apply
that
better
than
I
could.
But
we
are
going
to
apply
the
ordinance
to
this
project
and
that's
one
of
the
chief
reasons.
We
are
getting
owners
rep
to
help
us
with
that.
R
I
believe
that
again,
adrien
and
dpr
are
here
to
talk
to
you
all
about
their
efforts
with
the
women
in
minority
business
enterprises
and
reaching
out
and
reaching
those
goals
and
small
local
business
enterprises.
I
I
think
they've
done
extraordinary.
R
We've
had,
I
think
they've
had.
I
can't
I
can't
count
on
one
hand
or
both
hands
how
many
workshops,
community
engagement
meetings,
that
sort
of
thing
that
they've
held
at
reagan
park
in
these
tampa,
trying
to
reach
out
to
the
community
and
get
those
types
of
businesses,
especially
based
out
of
east,
tampa
involved
in
this
in
this
project.
So
but
I
I'm
going
to
let
them
report
on
their
efforts
and
where
they
are
with
all
of
that
and.
R
F
Much
councilman
yesterday
thank.
O
You,
mr
chairman,
I
I
appreciate
all
the
work
done
on
this
issue.
You
know,
I
think
the
overall
narrative
that
we're
talking
about
here
is
putting
values
in
the
contracting
process
and
and
whatnot
when
we
worked
on
the
apprenticeship
ordinance-
and
I
see
a
lot
of
our
friends
here-
jim
kevin
and
others
who
worked
really
really
hard
on
getting
that
passed.
It's
about
making
sure
that,
when
the
city
of
tampa
has
a
contracting
process
that
we
can
implement
some
of
our
values.
O
In
that
you
know,
equity,
equal
access
is
a
value
making
sure
that
the
next
generation
has
the
requisite
tools
that
they
need
to
advance
and
and
work
really
really
hard
to
fight
to
get
into
the
middle
class.
That's
a
value!
That's
a
value!
We're
going
to
be
talking
about
soon
in
city
council
in
about
a
month
encouraging
putting
incentives
for
contractors
to
hire
returning
citizens
and
to
ban
the
box
so
that
people
can
get
a
second
chance.
O
That's
a
value
that
we're
going
to
be
promoting
through
the
contracting
process,
but
the
apprenticeship
issue
is
obviously
very,
very
important.
We,
I
think,
had
that
before
council,
maybe
for
about
four
or
five
months,
and
then
before
I
introduced
it.
We
worked
with
some
of
the
good
folks
in
this
room
for
about
a
year.
O
So
what
I
would
suggest
is-
and
I
can
make
a
motion,
mr
chairman,
that
your
pleasure
on
this
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
report
a
given
amount
of
time,
I'm
looking
at
the
calendar,
which
is
a
little
bit
odd
right
now,
but
looking
at
the
calendar
at
the
next
available
time
that
we
can,
after
requisite
time
and
proper
time
given
for
the
parties
to
discuss
this.
Just
to
make
sure
that
the
ordinances
that
applies
to
apprenticeships
is
being
followed.
O
I
I
trust
that
it
will
be
etc,
but
we
just
want
to
make
sure
because,
as
as
has
been
said,
this
is
a
big
project
and
it's
a
big
chance
to
to
highlight
that
and
we
want
all
of
the
stakeholders
to
be
at
the
table
and
and
what
not?
I
know
that
a
lot
of
the
wimby
access
issues,
the
administration,
I
believe,
has
been
working
with
toba
from
what
I
hear
there
is
some
a
positive
movement
in
that
regard,
and
that's
that's
wonderful
to
hear
so
you
know.
Hopefully
we
can.
O
You
know,
bring
this
to
a
successful
conclusion.
I
have
faith
that
we
will,
but
but
I'll
be
making
a
motion
in
that
regard.
If
I
may,
but
again,
the
the
requisite
issue
is
promoting
values
in
the
contracting
process
and
that's
what
we're
doing.
Thank.
O
I
motion
for
the
administration
to
work
with
community
stakeholders,
including
contractors
unions,
state
approved
apprenticeship
programs,
to
make
sure
that
the
apprenticeship
ordinance
is
complied
with
to
the
fullest
extent
of
the
law
and
that
staff
will
return
for
an
update
in
blank
days.
I
got
to
look
at
the
calendar.
What.
O
Or
may
19th,
let's
do
probably
may
5th-
maybe
that's
30.,
let's
do
is,
may
19th
may
5th
what
I
mean
because
you
guys
are
going
to
it's
like
35
days
away.
O
O
And
and
there
you
go
so
we
would
request
that
and
I'll
be
meeting
with
the
stakeholders
in
the
meanwhile
to
see
how
things
are
going
perfect.
F
Staff
report
second
from
councilman
miranda
and
councilman
citra.
Yes,
sir.
O
C
C
Very
much
thank
you.
E
F
F
F
I
Okay
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
say
first
the
the
companies
that
got
the
contracts
as
far
as
I
can
tell
are
great
companies
very
well,
respected
and
and
and
so
most
likely
they
were
great
choices
of
companies.
I
The
the
the
situation
is,
that
is
that
we're
here
to
represent
the
public
and
we
city
council
members,
are
the
front
line
to
get
praise
and
criticism,
but
mostly
criticism
from
the
public,
and
so
we
approved
the
contract
a
few
months
ago
expecting
that
certain
things
were
included
in
it
like
the
apprenticeship
program
nbe-
and
I
don't
know
about
the
others,
but
I
expected
that
it
had
gone
out
for
an
rfp
and
if
it
clearly
stated
that
then
we
missed
it,
but
the
public
found
it
and
came
back
and
started
asking
us
questions
about
it,
and
so
with
no
disrespect
to
the
companies
that
got
the
contract.
I
The
public
just
wants
to
know
more
about
how
the
contract
was
done
and
there
are
in
particular
concerns
that
it
didn't
go
out
for
an
rfp.
I
just
have
a
few
questions
morris.
If
I
could
one
is,
could
you
just
explain
to
the
public?
There
was
a
seven
page
document
that
explained
this,
but
could
you
just
explain
to
the
public
why
we're
not
allowed
to
talk
about
canceling
the
contract,
usually
there's
a
an
exit
clause,
our
cancellation
clause
and
contracts,
and
so
we've
been
asked
and
why?
I
R
R
We
have
a
contractor
that
has
designed
the
project
in
accordance
with
the
contract
and
is
it
performing
the
contract
in
accordance
with
its
terms,
so
we
don't
think
there's
any
legal
basis,
that's
first
and
foremost,
but
even
if
we,
even
if
there
was
a
cancellation
provision
in
the
contract,
there's
likely
to
be
litigation
over
what
cost
would
be
payable
to
that
contractor
as
a
result
of
cancellation
and
whether
and
and
and
there
could
be
a
dispute
about
our
exercise
of
that
clause,
and
so
we
believe
that
that
any
discussion
about
rescinding
the
contract
was
likely
to
lead
to
litigation,
which
we
don't
think
is
appropriate
for
discussion
without
our
consent.
I
And
then
thank
you
and
then,
as
as
I
understand
from
a
little
bit
of
research,
there's
there's
certain
in
the
ccna
process,
there's
a
certain
maximum
increase
that
the
state
allows
for
a
contract.
So
this
one
went
from
around
6
million
to
108
million.
Isn't
there
isn't
there
a
requirement
to
go
back
to
an
rfp
if
there's
a
certain
amount,
percentage
increase
or
a
dollar
increase
to
a
contract
like
this,
not.
R
In
the
design
build
situation,
I
think
you're
talking
about
either
the
phase
with
a
continuing
contract.
There
is
a
limitation
there,
but
not
in
the
design,
build
scenario
and
there's
no.
I.
I
Think
in
that
case
it
was
two
am
I
correct?
It
was
two
million
until
the
last
legislative
session.
It
went
up
to
four
million.
So
the
question
is
this:
went
up
by
102
million?
Why
wouldn't
we
have
taken
it
out
for
an
rp
there's
no
requirement.
R
Again,
I
think
that
that
statutory
section
deals
with
a
specific
type
of
contract.
The
ccna
process
deals
with
different
types
of
contracts.
It
deals
with.
You
know
a
what's
called
a
continuing
contract,
which
we
do
a
number
of
for
a
certain
level
of
services,
usually
smaller
jobs.
It
also
deals
with
phased
contracts,
and
I
believe
that
provision
deals
with
phase
contracts.
This
is
not
a
phased
contract,
it's
a
design
built
and
so
that.
I
R
I
Did
he
not
have
any
any
rules
about
a
percentage
increase
that
a
contract
can
be
added
on
to?
No?
No
sir,.
I
And
you-
and
I
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
yesterday,
but
I
I
would
suggest
that
we
that
we
asked
the
legal
department
to
come
back
to
us
with
some
suggestions
on
on
putting
some
parameters
around
that.
I'm
sure
city
council
has
the
right
to
accept
her
for
deny
and
an
add-on,
but
it
just
seems
like
that's
a
huge
increase
and
then
also
there
was
a
large
amount
of
time.
It
seemed
when
nothing
was
happening.
Is
there
no
city,
rule
or
state
law?
R
I
And
my
understanding
in
that
in
the
ccna
process,
there's
also
a
requirement
for
at
certain
points
for
public
meetings
that
would
require
minutes
and
that
they
have
to
be
advertised,
and
there
would
be
public
comment.
Do
we
have
all
of
that?
Is
that
all
in
the
record.
R
In
2015
is
part
of
the
review
process
of
the
review
of
the
the
the
design
build
firms
that
submit
proposals.
Yes,
there
is
a
that's
open
to
the
public
and
there
are
minutes
and
then.
I
R
I
For
the
add-ons
where
there
were
public
meetings
to
review
the
add-on
contracts,
no,
sir,
that
that's
not
required
not
required,
so
there
were
no
other
other
than
the
original
contract.
There's
no
other
public
meetings
that
are
it.
I
And
then,
and
then
the
big
question
everybody
wants
to
ask
is
okay,
if
it's
legally
allowed,
wouldn't
it
make
sense
that
the
city
would
put
this
out
for
bid
if
we
saved.
I
said
this
before
we
say
five
million
dollars
that
would
double
our
our
pothole
budget
for
the
year
or
we
we
saved
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
would
double
our
sidewalk
budget
for
the
year
it
doesn't.
It
makes
sense
to
put
out
for
rfp
and
and
and
who
made
the
decision.
I
R
I
I
mean
I
can't
tell
you
an
individual's
name.
Obviously
this
came
out
of
looking
at
the
project
after
we
were
identified
a
funding
source
to
to
go
through
the
scenario
of
demolishing
and
building
a
new
project
there.
It
can't
you
know,
but
if
there's
a
specific
person
I
don't
know
the
name
of
that
specific
person,
but
that
there
was
a
recommendation
of
the
administration
that
we
do.
That.
I
R
I
mean
the
question
would
be
asked
and
it
would
be
looked
at
and
it
was
like
that
by
contract
administration
to
determine
if
it's
legally
permissible
and
whether
the
contract
was
still
in
effect
and
we
then
contracted
admin
also
believed
it
was
legally
permissible
right
to
the
scope
of
the
contract.
So.
I
I
know
you're
the
attorney
sorry,
but
my
question
is
more
like
a
business
question.
You
know
businesses
would
put
this
out
for
bid
because
you
would
want
to
try
to
get
the
best
price
and
you
got
great
companies
working
on
it,
but
because
we
didn't
get
competitive
bids,
we
don't
know
what
the
price
would
have
been.
So
so
somebody
somebody
made
the
decision
not
to
get
competitive
bids.
Is
there
no
process
in
the
city
that
that
that
provides
some
guidelines
and-
and
you
know
who
who
would
make
that
kind
of
decision.
F
K
K
K
K
Timing
was
an
element,
so
I
would
use
the
term
the
administration
brought
this
together
collectively
and
made
the
best
decision
we
could
at
the
time-
and
as
I
mentioned
in
the
beginning
of
this
agenda
item,
we
do
appreciate
all
the
feedback
from
the
community
and
we
look
forward
to
future
project
improvement
going
forward
and
all
the
points
that
have
been
reflected
for
the
last
over
a
year.
Actually.
I
And
and
and
cheap
in
it,
I
talked
to
morris
a
little
bit
about
this
yesterday,
but
either
when
I'm
finished
speaking
or
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
to
have.
Maybe
you
and
boris
come
back
and
just
give
us
some
some
suggestions
on
ordinances.
That
would
put
some
some
parameters
around
this,
that
the
public
is
just
asking.
Why,
regardless
of
the
quality
of
the
firms,
why
would
why
would
we
go
from
a
6
million
contract,
180
million
contract
without
an
rfp?
So
I
understand.
K
I
And
but
the
big
question
in
addition
to
legality
and
all
that
is
just
that,
no
business
would
go
from
a
six
million
dollar
contract
to
108
without
putting
it
out
for
bid,
and
so
just
because
you
want
to
get
the
same
price
and
we're
in
this
case
we're
using
taxpayer
money
and
we
get
complaints
every
day
about
how
high
taxes
are
and
if
we
could
save
money
by
putting
it
out
for
bid.
I
It
seems
like
we
would
do
that,
and
so
I
would
just
like
to
figure
out
how
we
can
how
we
can
put
some
guidelines
around
this
in
the
future
so
that
it
doesn't
happen.
The
last
thing
is
that
you
know
I
asked
a
lot
of
questions
when
we
heard
this
a
few
months
ago,
and
I
thought
they
were
softball
questions,
but
I
didn't
really
get
answers
to
them.
I
Almost
every
question
I
asked
the
answer:
was
it's
good
for
east
tampa
which
a
lot
of
people
in
east
ham,
but
don't
necessarily
think
it's
good
and
they
didn't
ask
for
this.
But
the
biggest
question
that
I
had
asked-
and
I
talked
to
cfo
the
day
before-
is
how
much,
how
much
would
we
otherwise
pay
for
rent
we're
consolidating
several
different
places
of
rent?
I
Originally,
we
were
going
to
sell
buildings
and
use
that
to
offset
some
of
the
costs,
but
but
ultimately
like
if
you,
if
you,
if
you're
a
first
time
home
buyer,
you
have
to
compare
the
rent
not
just
to
taking
the
capital
cost
and
dividing
by
30
years.
You
have
to
compare
it
to
the
capital
costs
plus
the
interest,
the
insurance,
the
taxes
plus
an
o
m
expense,
and
all
of
that
you
compare
to
the
rent
and
so
I'd
ask
the
question
on
the
cfo
the
day
before.
I
Could
you
show
that
to
us
and
when
I
asked
the
question
in
the
meeting
the
next
day,
he
said
they
decided
not
to
do
that,
and
it
just
seems
prudent
to
me
if
we're,
if
we're
justifying
expense
of
the
public.
You
know
I'd
ask
the
question:
how
much
is
the
interest
on
this
for
30
years
and
if
I
remember
correctly,
was
71
million,
and
so
we,
if
you
take
108
million
plus
71,
not
including
land
costs,
that's
about
180
million.
I
I
don't
know
how
much
o
m
is
for
30
years,
but
let's
just
stay
on
the
low
side.
20
million,
then
we're
really.
It's
not
a
108
million
project
anymore.
It's
a
200
million
dollar
project
and
if
you
divide
all
that
out
plus
the
opportunity
cost,
it's
a
it's
a
huge
amount
of
money,
and
I
wonder
you
know
it.
It
would
be
nice
in
the
future
if
we
had
an
analysis
of
rent
equivalency
and
if
we're
going
to
be
paying
more
to
build
an
iconic
building.
I
That's
beautifully
designed,
that's
one
thing,
but
but
it
wasn't
clearly
demonstrated
the
public
why
they
should
pay
so
much,
and
the
other
thing
which
I
mentioned
to
you
before
is
this
process
started
in
2015,
if
I
remember
correctly,
in
2019,
the
building
across
the
street
tampa
city
center
sold
for
110
million
and
so
in
this
process.
While
we're
investigating
this
this,
this
building
that
will
hold,
I
think,
500
people
in
east
tampa.
I
We
could
have
bought
a
building
across
the
street
where
we
would
have
made
money
renting
most
of
the
space
and
we
could
have
put
our
500
mil
500
people
in
there.
We
would
have
supported
downtown
and
we
would
have
had
people
across
the
street.
So
I
I
just
you
know.
Government
and
business
are
different,
but
it
seems
to
me
there
are
certain
common
sense,
fiscal
things
that
we
have
to
look
at
to
make
sure
we're
spending
the
the
taxpayer
money
wisely.
K
And
I
and
we
appreciate
that
feedback,
and
I
think
it
would
be
opportunistic
for
us
to
talk
about
it,
both
in
a
a
design,
build
ccna
space,
as
well
as
the
the
voice
of
the
economics
and
also
as
juxtaposed
against
the
time
that
we're
up
against
all
those
decisions
are
part
of
the
process.
So
I
appreciate
that
feedback.
Thank
you.
Real,
quick.
I
Yeah
absolutely
good
just
point
out
the
talk
again.
I
would
just
like
to
say
thanks
also
to
the
the
companies
involved
for
stepping
up
and
meeting
with
the
community
on
the
nbe2
and
also
the
apprenticeship
issue.
I
know
there
were
lots
and
lots
of
meetings
since
we
discussed
that
last
night.
I
appreciate
the
efforts
they
made
and
the
changes
they
made.
Thank.
K
R
R
Real
quickly
for
the
record
that
the
design
build
process
that
we
followed
is
allowed
by
state
law
and
the
way
that
process
works
is
the
competitive
selection
process
occurs
at
the
front
end
when
you
select
the
design
build
firm,
so
that
was
done
when
we
went
through
the
selection
process
and
selected
dpr
as
the
design
build
firm.
The
construction
cost
that
portion
of
it
is
part
of
the
overall
package.
R
I
And
could
I
if
I
could
ask
the
following
if
it
so,
if
they
have
major?
Let's
say
they
have
10
million
dollars
in
steel
that
they
have
to
buy?
I
don't
know
the
real
thing,
but
let's
say
10
million
dollars
of
steal.
R
You
may
have
to
get
someone
from
contract
administration
to
give
you
that
level
of
detail,
but
I
do
believe
that
as
part
of
the
when
we,
when
they
evaluate
and
when
we
negotiate
the
gmp
contract,
there
is
part
of
that
package
and
part
of
that
process
is
evaluating.
R
F
Thank
you
very
much.
Yes,
sir.
E
And
I
should
have
picked
you
back
up,
mr
vera.
I
guess
me
for
john
and
sal
what
I
hear
a
lot
of
the
time.
You
know
we
don't
have
the
people
to
do
the
job
and
we
always
come
up
with
some
low
numbers,
or
we
say
that
we
couldn't
find
people.
E
E
E
So
I'm
hoping
we
can
find
a
process
with
that,
or
sometimes
they
may
have
some.
We
have
to
create
some
kind
of
bond
situation
to
help
these
smaller
guys
and
a
lot
of
times.
That
is
the
prod
the
problem.
The
problem
is
we
we
we're
looking
at
the
bigger
scope
of
a
big
guy,
but
it's
always
a
little
guy
that
gets
hurt.
It
can't
eat.
So
I'm
hoping
with
this
huge
project
or
this
rf
aq.
E
You
got
going
out
that
we
could
have
some
type
of
small
pilot
or
something
to
see
how
we
can
get
those
mom-and-pop
guys
at
the
very
bottom
to
be
able
to
work
too,
because
that
seems
to
be
the
problem.
I
hear
all
the
time
and
that's
why
you
talk
about
the
mirrors,
build
the
bridges
program.
You
don't
have
a
multiple
people
signing
up
and
the
numbers
I
see
is
because
those
people
they're
scared
of
the
process.
They
don't
know
you
have
to
do
this
this
and
that
because
they
never
had
to
do
that
before
versus.
E
I
got
a
large
contract
and
he
knows
well,
we
gotta
go,
we
gotta
have
this
is
that
they
don't
know
those
things.
So
if
they
it's
like,
if
I
know
I
met
mr
miranda,
he
speaks
spanish,
I
just
mean.
Well,
I
don't
know
he
talked
about.
He
might
be
trying
to
tell
me
something,
but
I
really
don't
know
the
process,
because
I
was
afraid
of
the
paperwork
and
sometimes
when
you
look
at
minority
communities,
who've
never
been
a
part
of
the
process,
they
get
afraid
of
the
process.
E
K
And
again,
john
bennett,
chief
of
staff.
Thank
you
councilman
goodes.
For
that
two
comments,
one.
We
have
been
hearing
that
matter
of
fact.
If
you
recall
just
recently
in
front
of
council,
there
was
discussion
about
the
builders
risk
insurance
and
we
went
back.
We
huddled
up
and
now
there's
going
to
be
an
rfi
going
out
to
see
if
we
can
work
with
some
of
those
smaller
community
opportunities.
K
K
He
sent
his
team
out
of
the
scope
of
work
that
they
usually
do
to
go
out
and
follow
up
on
those
ebo
credentials
and
knock
on
those
doors
and
help
people
through
the
process.
So
we
want
to
get
it
from
both
ends.
We
want
to
help
by
bringing
back
and
coming
back,
and
I
know
janelle
mcgregor,
as
the
director
of
community
engagement
is
working
on
that.
But,
mr
chairman,
if
I
could
you
know,
miss
adrie
colina
has
a
lot
to
offer
she's
been
standing
patiently.
O
Just
really
quick,
if
I
may
just
I-
I
wanted
to
say
that
with
regards
to
my
motion
that
I
made
it's,
I
think
it's
inferred
there,
but
it
obviously
applies
to
all
subcontractors
as
well,
and
also
I'd
like
to
inquire
at
that
time
on
whether
or
not
there's
any
anticipated
waivers
that'll
be
given.
I
don't
think
there
would
be
in
this,
but
just
something
just
for
staff
guidance
on
the
motion
doesn't
require
a
response,
but
just
for
staff
guidance
on
the
motion
understand.
O
G
O
The
a
contractor
can
request
waivers
based
upon
good
faith
efforts
of
the
apprenticeships,
so
just
inquiring
in
that
regard.
I
don't
anticipate
that
occurring,
but
you
never
know.
K
N
You
chief
good
morning,
adriana
colina,
as
many
of
you
know
me:
adrie
colina,
director
of
logistics
and
asset
management,
for
the
city
of
tampa,
I'm
here
today,
because
I
believe
in
the
city
center
at
hannah
avenue
as
leaders.
Our
decisions
must
be
made
on
what's
best
for
the
community.
We
must
be
selfless
and
we
always
have
to
think
of
what's
best
for
the
community,
not
what
we
want,
what
might
be
best
for
one
particular
group
or
another,
but
best
overall,
and
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that
this
project
is
good
for
the
community.
N
Overall,
it's
good
for
the
neighbors,
it's
good
for
the
economy,
it's
good
for
the
many
job
opportunities
that
it
will
provide
for
the
black
businesses,
hispanic
businesses,
women
owned
for
many,
and
it's
good
for
the
city,
employees,
who
will
finally
have
a
place
that
they
can
call
home,
not
rented
space
but
a
place
that
will
be
theirs.
It's
going
to
be
a
source
of
pride
in
the
east
tampa
community,
and
this
is
a
positive
project.
N
You
may
recall
my
first
week
in
this
position.
We
came
before
you
last
year
in
march.
Actually,
we
came
before
you
three
times
last
year
march,
4th
march
18th
and
november
4th,
and
on
march
4th
and
on
march
18th,
we
came
before
you
requesting
an
amendment
to
a
2015
contract
that
was
in
existence.
It
had
never
been
terminated
and
that
contract,
as
mr
massey
pointed
out,
called
for
either
the
renovation,
partial
or
total
demolition
of
a
structure
at
2515
east
hanna
and
it
called
for
the
design
build
of
a
new
one.
N
That
is
what
it
called
for.
When
we
came
before
you
in
march
4
in
march
the
two
times
we
came
to
amend
that
contract
and
we
spelled
out
what
those
amendments
were
and
what
that
would
look
like,
and
the
amendments
were
two
things.
We
were
increasing
the
number
of
departments
that
were
moving
to
that
building.
When
we
first
looked
at
it
in
2015,
we
were
moving
three
departments.
When
we
came
back
before
you
last
year,
it
was
seven
that
number
has
not
changed
now.
N
N
The
contract
came
before
you
in
2015
and
it
was
at
a
1
million
in
change
and
remember
that
was
a
demolition
design
build
six
years
later.
Of
course,
that
number
is
going
to
be
higher.
It
is
six
years
later
and
we
asked
you
for
that
increase
to
6.3
million,
because
that
is
what
would
it
was
going
to
cost
at
that
time
to
demolish
the
structure
and
provide
a
design
build
for
a
structure
to
house
seven
departments.
N
N
I
wanted
to
tell
you
that
we
when
we
came
to
you
on
each
occasion
we
presented
a
lot
of
information
and
I
was
part
of
those
presentations
and
at
the
close
of
each
one.
We
said-
and
we
are
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
so
it's
troubling-
that
there
was
questions
unanswered,
because
we
were
here
and
we
were
here
all
along
and
we
are
here
today
and
we
will
answer
your
questions-
that
I
promise
you
we
promised
you
we
would
be
engaged
in
the
community
and
we
have
been.
N
I
personally
have
walked
that
community.
I
will
tell
you
that
community
is
very
diverse.
My
mother-in-law
cuban
lives
there.
I
can
tell
you
that
neighborhood
is
proud.
I
have
talked
with
them.
I
have
met
with
them.
I've
met
with
the
businesses
one
on
one.
We
met
with
grace
point
tampa
general,
so
many
I
am
so
excited
to
be
a
neighbor
in
that
community.
It
is
an
active
community
who
is
excited
about
this
project.
N
I
wanted.
I
want
you
to
know
that
as
a
hispanic
female
department
head
ebo
to
me
is
personal,
it's
not
just
a
number
another
incorrect
information
that
I
heard
through
public
comment
was
there's
a
26
epo
goal
heard
that
last
few
months
wrong,
we
have
a
35
percent,
unprecedented
35
percent
ebo
goal.
That
number
is
not
just
a
number
as
a
hispanic
female
department
head.
My
journey
hasn't
been
easy.
I
know
what
it's
like
to
be
a
minority
and
I
can
promise
you.
N
I
also
want
to
tell
you
that
since
2021,
I
have
worked
very
closely
with
the
dpr
design
build
team
and
they
too
are
committed
to
diversity.
They
are
here
today
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
what
we've
done.
All
the
meetings
that
have
been
held.
I
was
at
the
meeting
at
rogers
park
and
it
was
so
very
well
attended.
I
saw
councilman
goodes
there.
I
saw
jose
robinson,
like
he
called
himself
earlier
today.
N
Chloe
coney
was
there
yvette
lewis
was
there,
it
was
very
well
attended,
it
was
transparent,
we
put
everything
out
there
and
I'm
gonna.
I'm
gonna
call
you
out
for
a
minute,
mr
robinson,
because
he's
always
good
about
bringing
things
that
are
an
issue
to
the
forefront,
he's
good
about
bringing
problems,
he's
good
about
making
recommendations,
but
that
day
he
stood
up
and
he
said
I
applaud
you.
I've
never
seen
an
outreach
like
this
on
a
city
project,
and
I
thank
you
because
that
tells
me
you're
fair.
N
It
tells
me
you
don't
just
complain,
but
that
you
also
recognize
the
right
and
I
thank
you.
I
want
to
also
say
that
last
week
we
met
with
mr
ransom
and
members
of
the
toba
organization,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
as
well.
I
can
tell
you
on
that
day.
They
recognize
the
many
positive
steps
that
have
been
taken
and
while
there
may
have
been
some
incorrect
statements
over
the
last
few
months,
we
listened.
We
listened
because
that
told
us,
yes,
we've
been
doing
outreach,
but,
yes,
we
need
to
step
up
our
game.
N
We
need
to
get
out
there
a
little
more
and
we
have
done
that
and
I
am
going
to
turn
it
over
now
to
brian
yarborough,
who
is
the
project
executive
for
dpr?
But
I
want
you
to
know.
We
do
have
this
rfa
in
place
that
we
have
someone
that
is
going
to
be
the
owner's
rep.
N
That's
going
to
make
sure
we're
meeting
those
evo
goals,
we're
meeting
the
apprenticeship
program,
goals
and
part
of
that
dpr
team
includes
mr
thomas
huggins
and
you're
going
to
hear
from
mr
huggins,
who
is
with
ariel
business
group,
and
he
is
no
stranger
to
east
tampa
for
the
past
40
years
he
has
gone
to
church
there.
His
son
went
to
school
there.
He
is
a
former
past
chair
of
the
hcc
board
of
trustees.
He's
a
former
toba
member
chair
of
the
urban
league.
N
E
Yeah,
I
noticed
mr
vieira
said
good
faith
and
I
said
mr
ran
some
run
to
mr
bennett.
You
know
you
know
this
way,
mr
pierre,
the
word
good
faith
is
a
bad
word.
Sometimes
when
it's
used
in
minorities,
I'm
gonna
be
candid
with
you,
because
it
gives
leeway
for
people
to
get
around
with
a
loophole,
saying
good
faith.
E
E
We
when
he
said
he
jumped
up-
and
I
knew
his
mind
because
I've
always
said
that
too,
when
I
look
at
some
of
these
contracts
good
faith,
so
I
want
to
make
we
clear
that
we
kind
of
clear
that
up
a
little
bit
to
make
sure
we
do
what
we
say,
we're
going
to
do
and
kind
of
not
hear
so
much
on
good
faith.
Okay,.
O
And
I
want
to
clarify
it
when
I
said
good
faith
that
was
a
statutory
term
from
the
apprenticeship
ordinance
had
no
bearing
or
relevancy
whatsoever
to
the
wimby
issues
that
specifically
to
the
apprenticeship
issue,
so
just
in
response
to
councilman
goode's
point
that,
specifically
to
the
apprenticeship
issues,
nothing
to
do
with
the
wimby
issues
very
narrowly
tailored.
So
just
just
for
the
record.
Thank
you.
I
I
just
missed
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
to
follow
up
on
one
thing.
You
said
about
the
questions
not
being
answered,
they
were
answered,
but
there
weren't
sufficient
answers.
I
can
give
you
a
couple
examples.
I
had
I
heat
up
the
cfo
the
day
before
to
say:
what's
the
rental
equivalency
and
for
some
reason
somebody
decided
not
to
give
us
that
that
seems
like
a
basic
question,
so
the
question
was
answered.
I
The
answer
was,
we
did
decided
not
to
do
that
and
what
I'd
rather
see
is
a
is
a
an
answer
to
show
what
it
would
otherwise
cost.
So
we
can
look
at
apples
and
apples
and-
and
then
another
question
I
had
was
why.
Why
is
this
building
so
expensive?
And
I
said
you
know
some
constituents
would
would
like
us
to
rent
space
at
florida
and
mall
or
somewhere
like
that.
They
would
like
us
to
get
the
cheapest
space
possible.
I
So
what's
the
reason
why
we
would
do
this,
and
the
only
answer
I
got
was
that
it's
good
for
east
tampa,
which
I
thought
was
a
very
weak
answer.
It's
a
fluffy
answer,
not
a
not
a
operations
or
business
or
administration
answer,
and
since
we're
stewards
of
the
public
trusts
and
dollars.
I
think
we
should
just
be
prepared
to
answer
and
I
actually
had
to
fill
in.
D
I
Set
to
suggest
well,
don't
you
think
that
it's
better
to
bring
all
these
departments
together
it?
Wouldn't
that
be
a
reason,
but
but
but
then
the
answer
was
yes,
but
it's
also
good
for
east
tampa.
But
I
think,
if
we're
going
to
make
a
decision-
and
it
sounds
like
a
lot
of
thought-
was
put
into
it-
we
should
be
prepared
not
just
for
city
council
but
for
the
public
to
explain
why
if
we
could
rent
space
at
somewhere
like
florida
mall,
why
would
we
spend
so
much
on
a
building
like
this?
I
And
I
I
think
you
all
have
answers,
but
in
that
meeting
anyway,
I
didn't
get
the
answer
so
and
the
public
didn't
get
the
answers,
so
you
all
don't
have
to
answer
them
now,
but
I
think
we
have
to
think
about
the
larger.
The
larger
aspects
of
this
is
a
big
project
and,
and
people
just
want
to
know
how
we
justify
spending
so
much
money.
Thank
you.
N
Yes,
sir,
mr
carlson-
and
I
wasn't
in
that
meeting,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
the
contract
that
we
are
in
right
now,
with
wedu
for
the
space
just
on
north
boulevard,
we're
paying
125
000
a
year
and
remember
that
was
a
90
contract.
Rent
right
now
is
astronomical.
I
I
don't
even
know
what
that
number
would
look
like.
N
We
haven't
looked
at
that
because,
honestly,
our
choice
a
would
not
be
to
simply
give
away
taxpayer
dollars
on
rent,
but
to
investing
in
something
that
one
day
we
can
call
our
own
and
then.
I
The
other
way
of
looking
at
is
sorry
we're
taking
away
bonding
capacity
too,
and
so
I
think
it's
just
a
basic
question
like
we
we
can.
We
can.
We
can
throw
up
numbers
like
I
threw
up
the
number.
We
could
have
bought
tampa
city
center
right
during
this
process
and
we
could
have
made
a
profit
on
it.
But,
like
the
mayor
said
to
me,
that's
past
tense,
so
I
just
think
as
we're
looking
forward.
We
ought
to
look
at
this
from
a
from
a
financial
and
a
business
management
standpoint.
I
You
know,
chief
of
staff
is
really
good
about
looking
at
the
holistic
view
of
everything,
but
we
didn't
explain
that
to
the
public
when
we
discussed
it
last
time,
and
so
I
think
as
we're
looking
at
big
projects
like
this
in
the
future,
we
should
we
should
think
about
it,
not
just
from
a
legal
perspective
or
a
contractual
perspective,
but
if
there's
a
vision
for
doing
something,
we
should
have
the
details
that
should
go
behind
it.
Thank
you.
N
Yes,
sir,
and
then
on
the
city
center
example
that
you
gave,
I
know
the
hannah
avenue
site
we
owned.
We
did
not
have
to
buy
that,
but
a
big
part
of
the
site
selection
was
something
that
would
be
convenient
for
our
customers
and
city
center
and
parking
downtown
is
an
issue.
So
that's
something
that's
been
really
important
to
us
is
to
have
a
place
that
they
could
go
to
where
parking
would
not
be
an
issue
that
it
would
be
convenient
for
them.
M
M
Our
team
is
wholly
committed
to
the
unprecedented
goals
that
have
been
set
for
the
hannah
avenue
project.
I
think
we
mentioned
that
35
percent
combined
goal
20
of
the
underutilized
windy
businesses
or
black
business
enterprises
specifically
and
then
15
of
the
small
and
local
business
enterprises
and
we're
excited
to
kind
of
raise
the
bar
and
set
the
new
standard
for
projects
with
the
city
of
tampa.
M
And
since
we
were
last
in
front
of
council
back
in
november,
our
team
has
taken
several
steps
to
kind
of
reinforce
our
commitment
and
our
approach
to
achieve
the
minority
goals
set
by
evo
for
the
project
we've
either
hosted
or
attended.
Seven
outreach
sessions
related
to
the
project
and
supplier
diversity
goals
in
the
east
tampa
community.
The
most
recent
one
was
held
on
february
16th,
as
adrien
mentioned
at
the
reagan
park.
M
Rec
center
phenomenal
turnout
from
the
community
provided
a
great
opportunity
for
transparent
conversation
about
the
design,
build
process
where
we
were
in
the
project
itself
and
the
opportunities
that
lied
ahead.
M
Thomas
and
his
firm
are
tampa
based
diversity,
consultant
and
they're,
providing
us
local
boots
on
the
ground.
Support
for
our
hannah
avenue
project
team
thomas
is
helping
communicate
our
plan
to
the
community
he's
monitoring,
progress
for
certified
bbe
and
slbe
firms
working
on
the
project,
he's
making
sure
to
administer
accountability,
measures
for
all
stakeholders,
as
it
relates
to
the
achievement
of
the
diversity
and
workforce
goals
and
he's
partnering
relationships.
M
S
Thank
you
brian
good
morning,
council
again,
my
name
is
thomas
huggins
and,
as
brian
mentioned,
I'm
with
aerial
business
group,
I
want
to
start
off
by
saying
our
company
has
been
around
in
tampa
for
well.
Over
26
years,
we've
worked
on
a
number
of
projects
throughout
this
community
construction
project
and
have
an
extensive
amount
of
experience
working
with
larger
construction
projects.
S
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
work
with
dpr,
but
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
just
highlight
as
an
african-american
owned
business
here
in
tampa.
This
project
is
personal.
This
is
not
just
an
opportunity
to
do.
Where
is
personal
is
to
be
able
to
have
an
opportunity
to
impact
the
community
locally,
as
ms
kalina
mentioned
for
the
past
28
years,
or
so,
I
attended
church
a
block
away
from
this
location.
S
After
meeting
with
dpr
and
the
community
stakeholders
meeting
with
patrice
gilmore
the
national
diversity
manager
for
this
project
and
lauren
hickman,
we
decided
to
become
a
part
of
the
team
we
made.
The
decision
to
become
part
of
the
team
because
of
the
diversity
initiative
that
they
brought
forth
and
the
aggressiveness
that
they
were
looking
at,
trying
to
ensure
that
the
community
as
a
whole
was
going
to
be
involved
in
the
process
for
over
the
last
month
and
a
half
since
we've
been
involved
in
the
process.
S
S
S
How
do
we
take
this
project
and
how
do
we
embrace
the
communities
in
the
area?
How
do
we
bring
in
catering
companies
that,
as
brian
mentioned
spending
a
thousand
dollars
to
a
construction
company
on
108
million
dollars
may
not
mean
a
lot
to
the
construction
company,
but
it
means
a
lot
to
that
catering
company?
That's
in
the
neighborhood
working
with
the
printing
company.
S
We
spend
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
three
thousand
dollars
with
the
printing
company.
That
means
a
lot
in
the
neighborhood
in
the
community.
So
to
your
point,
councilman
ghouls
we're
looking
at
all
opportunities,
not
just
the
traditional
construction
opportunities,
but
the
catering
opportunities
we
may
have
a
dinner
or
a
luncheon
or
community
event
at
the
trailer.
Why
can't
we
go
to
the
community?
Why
can't
we
go
to
the
restaurants
in
the
neighborhood
to
be
able
to
buy
those
services?
S
And
so
that's
the
kind
of
focus,
that's
the
uniqueness
in
terms
of
the
opportunities
that
we're
looking
at
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
community
as
a
whole
is
input.
We
got
the
input
from
the
community
and
we're
continuing
to
work
with
the
community
as
a
whole,
continuing
to
work
with
the
community
stakeholders
and
being
able
to
address
that
as
we
as
one
of
the
things
that
has
not
been
mentioned.
No
one
of
the
other
individuals
that's
involved
on
the
project
is
logistics,
event,
organizers.
There
are
many
events
and
community
activities
that
will
take
place.
S
The
team
has
hired
a
black
female
to
be
able
to
work
with
them
on
logistically
organizing
events.
So
I
will
say
this
that
since
we've
been
involved
early
march,
I
mean
early
february
that
there
has
been
an
aggressive
opportunity
to
meet
to
exceed
the
goals
that
have
been
established
by
evo
and
to
address
the
concerns
that
the
community
stakeholders
and
you
as
council
members,
have
brought
before
dpr
and
we're
committed
to
working
with
that
working
with
dpr
and
ensuring
that
those
opportunities
get
to
the
community.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
sir,
and
you
know
your
reputation
speaks
for
itself,
you're
a
respected
member
of
the
community,
as
you
have
said,
and
everyone
before
you,
you
know
the
area
you're
you're
invested
deeply
in
that
community
and
you
mention
quite
a
few
things:
it's
not
just
a
construction,
it's
about
everything
else,
catering,
printing,
whatever
local
services
that
can
be
utilized
because
a
rising
tide
lifts
all
boats,
and
this
project
is
big
enough.
That
there's
enough
for
everybody,
and
we
need
to
invest
as
much
as
we
can
in
that
community
in
the
tampa
community.
F
The
surrounding
areas
to
show
that
again,
there's
equity,
there's
an
open
door
for
everybody.
Again,
my
you
know.
I
appreciate
all
the
information.
My
biggest
concerns
are,
I
respect.
Mr
robinson,
I
respect
mr
ransom
and
the
gentleman
from
toba.
The
union
representatives
that
are
here
are
they
satisfied.
They've
dug
deep
into
this.
We've
talked
about
the
legalities
of
the
contract,
but
I
know
mr
robinson
has
has
studied
this
in
and
out
he's
been
very
vocal.
He
brought
this
forward.
F
You
know
with
others
to
make
sure
that
it's
it's
right,
that
we
do
right
by
the
people
of
this
community
and
that
there's
you
know
no
stern,
no
stone
left
unturned
again
because
of
the
magnitude
and
the
questions
that
have
been
asked
I'll.
Stop
there,
council
members,
you
have
any
response
or
yes,
sir.
L
Sir,
have
you
ever
done
any
look
in
the
future?
What
if
the
project
is
so
successful
like
it's
planned
and
what
if's
gonna
happen
to
the
neighborhood
and
how
many
new
business
has
the
opportunity
to
start?
Because
now
you
have
an
energy,
that's
creating
opportunities.
Have
you
ever
looked
at
something
like
that
around
the
neighborhood.
Q
L
K
Chief
of
staff,
I'd
like
to
augment
the
response
just
this
week:
councilman
miranda
and
I'll
credit
fran
tate
for
starting
this
in
east
tampa
we
had
lunch
nicole
travis
and
I
introduced
nicole
travis
to
allison
hewitt,
and
we
started
talking
about
getting
businesses
involved
early,
so
everything's
running
concurrent
with
the
construction
project.
So
that's
the
space
for
nicole
travis,
miss
sociowin
is
all
over
the
ebo
progression
and
everything
else.
K
L
You
have
to
have
businesses
to
have
opportunities
without
that
you
have
a
big
building.
Just
I
think
it's
going
to
add
a
lot
more
to
the
opportunity
to
help
everyone
in
the
area
to
have
the
opportunity
that
everybody
in
the
city
of
tampa
has.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
C
This
council
had
asked
in
prior
meetings
that
there
be
amenities
for
the
community
meeting
halls
for
for
neighborhood
associations
that
there
be
meeting
halls
for
for
any
other
organization
scout
troops,
whatever
that
this
building
should
not
just
be
this
monolithic
building,
where
people
are
afraid
of
have
a
coffee
shop,
something
there
not
only
for
the
employees
but
for
the
community.
I
have
walking
spaces
green
spaces.
C
C
K
I'd
have
to
defer
to
staff-
I
I
don't
know
if
deputy
administrator
jira
has
that
number,
but
I
will
put
one
comment
and
if
we
don't
have
the
number
right
now,
we
will
get
it
to
you
and
to
the
public.
But
I
will
say
the
one
word:
that's
not
being
used
very
often,
which
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
is
risk.
K
So
a
lot
of
our
facilities
are
in
evacuation
areas
and,
on
top
of
everything,
we're
doing
we're
looking
to
go
through
what
we
went
through
with
covid,
with
the
continuity
of
operations
and
continuity
of
government
for
council
to
be
able
to
convene
somewhere
out
of
a
a
risk
zone.
So
risk
isn't
just
you
can't
put
a
price
on
that.
If
you
go
back
to
katrina,
you
go
back
to
anything
else.
You
can't
put
a
price
on
the
ability
to
run
government
inside
of
a
space
that
is
resilient
and
sustainable
to
the
community,
but
I'll
check.
J
It's
already
a
deputy
administrator
on
a
couple
of
the
properties
that
we
do
want
to
sell
in
the
future.
We
have
an
old
appraisal
on
on
one
of
them
and
the
other
property
on
spruce
street,
we're
still
in
the
process
of
moving.
You
know
we're
going
to
move
everybody
out
when
new
construction
starts
we'll
get
that
appraised.
So
I
don't
have
a
number
exactly
you
know
on
on
the
properties
right
now,.
C
One
last
thing
to
share
to
mr
bennett's
point:
thank
you
for
listening
to
us
when
kobe
came,
that
was
a
request
of
mine
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
facility
that
we
can
go
to
in
case
of
emergency.
So
I
thank
you
on
that.
Thank
you.
J
Let
me
let
me
just
make
one
point
too,
that
on
this
design,
to
kind
of
talk
about
what
mr
miranda
was
talking
about,
we
strategically
put
facilities
and
fleet
a
component
of
fleet
into
this
and
there's
there
is
going
to
be
a
workforce
development
in
this
in
this
building
a
cooking
school
and
other
things.
But
we
want
to
tap
in
to
the
local
area
from
mechanics
and
construction
within
the
city.
So
that's
our
goal.
J
J
F
Thank
you,
sir.
Dennis
rajo,
chief
financial.
F
Going
to
preface
mr
rogerio's
responses,
but
he
covered
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilman
carlson.
I
saw
your
hand
sir.
I
Yeah,
I
I
just
wanted
to
thank
chief
bennett
and
and
miss
kalina
for
giving
the
answers
of
risk
management.
The
ability
to
outside
of
this
form
the
parking
thing.
Those
are
the
kinds
of
answers
that
that
are
very
helpful
to
take
back
to
the
public.
So
thank
you
all,
and
any
more
of
that
you
can
give.
It
would
be
great
to
have
a
sheet
for
all
the
reasons
and
justification
for
this.
I
The
other
thing
I
would
say,
is
we
all
known,
mr
huggins
for
a
long
time
and
he
is
very
well
respected.
The
community
has
been
involved
in
these
issues
for
a
long
time,
and
I
mentioned
the
quality
of
the
companies.
I
also
know
brian
yarborough,
through
the
chamber
and
other
things,
and
his
colleague,
deborah,
bauman
and
and
and
everybody
knows,
saul
fleshman
and
his
family.
I
I
mean
the
thing
I
want
to
tell
the
public
is
that,
despite
all
the
questions
that
we
asked
before,
we've
got
a
great
team
here
and
they're
they're,
apparently
not
just
talented
at
what
they
do,
but
they're
very
deeply
involved
in
the
community
and
leadership
roles
in
the
community.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
for
all
that
as
well.
Thank
you.
F
Q
Good
morning,
chairman
council
brad
baird
deputy
administrator
of
infrastructure
to
address
item
one.
This
item
is
for
additional
work
order,
agreements
for
professional,
architectural
and
engineering
services
on
as
needed
basis
for
a
two-year
period.
Q
Q
We
have
three
asian
business
enterprises
or
abe
four
black
business
enterprises
or
bbes,
eight
hispanic
business
enterprises
or
what
we
call
hpes
and
twelve
women
women
owned
business
enterprises
and
then
23
small
local
business
enterprises.
Q
So
in
total,
with
wmbe
slbe
or
both
some
of
them
have
both
of
certificates.
We
have
34
firms
that
fall
in
that
category
out
of
the
116
firms,
with
the
remainder
being
82
majority
firms,
and
then
I'd
also
like
to
give
a
breakdown
of
well
of
wnbe
versus
non-wmbe
for
fy21.
Q
First
of
the
just
a
raw
number
of
work
orders
we
issued
65
total
in
fy
21
four
quarters
and
of
those
27
were
wmde
firms
and
38
were
non-wmb.
Q
That
amounts
to
41
over
41
percent
of
the
work,
orders,
wmpd
and
58,
or
over
58
non-wmd,
and
then
for
the
dollar
amount.
We
issued
a
total
of
four
million
eight
hundred
and
fifty
one
million
dollars
or
yeah
four
million
eight
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
this
evening
and
of
that
total.
Q
We
issue
one
million
six
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
to
wmde
firms
and
3.2
million
non-wmbe
firms,
so
that
would
be
33
or
roughly
one-third
went
to
the
dollar
amounts
went
to
wmpe
and
two-thirds
went
to
non-wmb's,
and
so.
L
Q
All
really
good
news
very
high
participation.
It's
increased
over
the
years,
especially
in
the
last
two
years
that
this
city
council
has
focus
on
that.
Q
So
the
approval
of
these
consulting
firms
is
standard
process
that
we
go
through
approximately
every
six
months
and
it
provides
opportunities
to
interested
professional,
architectural
and
engineering
firms
qualified
to
do
work
for
the
city
of
tampa.
Q
The
last
approval
of
a
group
of
consultants
was
approved
in
august
of
2021,
so
that's
about
six
months,
and
that
was
for
160
firms,
so
we'll
have
a
total
of
276
firms.
Should
city
council
approve
this
today,
every
municipality
and
county
have
a
similar
process
to
establish
qualified
consultant
talent.
I
Yeah,
mr
baird,
one
of
the
concerns
we
hear
in
the
community
is,
is
the
the
no
bid
contracts
or
single
bid
contracts,
and
we
just
talked
about
one
a
minute
ago.
The
the
concern
the
public
has
is
that
when
these
firms
are
shortlisted,
then
then
the
decision
after
that
is
arbitrary
about
how
companies
are
picked
and
what
how
much
they're
given
did
I
hear
you
correctly
that
these
have
a
maximum
of
two
hundred
thousand
budget?
And
I
don't
know
morris
is
still
there,
but
is
there?
I
Is
there
some
loophole
where,
where
that
can
just
be
increased,
or
it
is,
is
the
maximum
two
hundred
thousand
without
coming
to
council
for
a
specific
contract.
Q
Q
As
I
said,
and
it's
in
place
for
two
years,
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
state
law
was
just
recently
changed
for
these
types
of
contracts,
where
you
issue
work
orders
through
the
ccna
selection,
the
state
has
approved
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
limit,
but
city
policy
and
based
on
actually
your
approval.
Q
We
have
limited
that
to
200
000,
but
any
time
the
work
order
is
over
a
hundred
thousand.
It
has
to
go
back
to
city
council
for
approval.
That's
great
thank.
I
You,
the
other
thing,
the
other
thing
is,
is
we've
heard
feedback
at
least
I've
heard
feedback
from
vendors
who
say
they
get
on
a
list
and
there's
10
companies
in
a
certain
category,
but
only
one
or
two
of
the
companies
gets
called.
Is
there?
Is
there
a
system
where
I
know
some
municipalities
will
rotate
through?
So
if,
if,
if
the
companies
are
already
pre-selected,
then
as
projects
come
up,
they
just
get
them
in
order
so
that
everybody
has
a
chance
or
or
is
it
just
arbitrary
to
whoever
the
project
manager
is.
Q
Yes,
that
is
a
actually
also
a
requirement
of
state
statute
that
you
encourage
spreading
out
the
work,
and
that
is
in
our
executive
order
that
we
put
in
place
that
morris
went
through
earlier
to
spread
that
work
out.
So
what
we
do
is
called
a
pick
3
process,
where
the
project
manager
selects
three
firms
to
have
discussions
with,
and
then
one
firm
is
selected
by
the
user
department
and
that
engineering
group,
and
so
if
other
firms
have
been
used.
Q
You
said
in
a
category
and
that's
exactly
how
they're
selected.
So
if
there's
10
firms
in
a
category
and
other
departments
have
already
used
three
of
those
firms,
then
we
would
look
to
you
know
another.
Three
firms
spread
that
work
out.
Q
That's
the
goal
it
that
doesn't
happen.
100
of
the
time
I'm
going
to
be
100
transparent
on
that.
But
that's
our
goal
is
to
try
to
you
know
rotate
for
all
the
firms,
but,
as
you
can
imagine,
if
we
have
276
firms
on
the
list
and
in
the
last
fiscal
year
we
only
issued
65
work
orders,
sometimes
you're
waiting
years
before
you
can
get
a
work
order.
I
Yeah,
I
would
just
ask-
and
this
is
on
behalf
of
people
who
complained
over
the
years
any
way
there
is
to
provide
fairness
and
equity
within
the
sets
of
companies.
They've
gone
through
the
process,
as
mr
goose
described
before
they're
filling
in
all
the
paperwork
and
qualifying,
but
then
they
they
just
want
to
be
treated
fairly
and
part
of
that
might
be
communicating
with
them
about
how
the
selection
process
goes.
I
But
but
if
there's
a
list
where
you're
rotating
through
the
list-
and
that
and
you
explain
that
to
them
clearly,
then
then
it
would
hopefully
they
would
understand
that
it's
equitable
and
it's
not.
If
it's
not
exactly
done
that
way.
I
would
just
ask
without
emotion
anything
you
all
can
do
to
to
spread
it
out
to
provide
you
know.
Equity
throughout
the
community
would
be
great.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
E
I
don't
think
one
one
one
company
should
have
12
contracts
but
again
learning
myself,
myself
learning
the
process,
so
I
think
that's
something
we
need
to
look
at
and
our
policies
make.
Even
though
you
have
this
long
list
make
sure.
Eventually
everybody
gets
a
chance
to
make
a
dollar.
I
think
every
that's
a
fair
way
of
doing
to
make
sure
someone
gets
a
chance,
because
I
don't
want
to
keep
flying.
Somebody
says
I've
never
got
a
chance.
I've
been
on
the
list
for
five
six
years,
but
I've
never
got
an
opportunity.
E
Q
Thank
you
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilman.
If
I
could
get
you
know,
feedback
from
you
or
specifics
on
on
which
contractor
were
talked
about
our
consultant.
That
would
be
helpful.
I
do
want
to
add
one
thing.
There
is
a
reason.
Sometimes
a
a
consultant
will
get
more
than
one
work.
Order
on
a
project
is
because
oftentimes,
they
are
the
engineer
of
record
and
you
wouldn't
want
to
change
the
engineer
of
record
on
that
contract.
L
F
L
H
A
F
Q
I
do
number
two
is
an
agreement
in
the
amount
of
four
million
dollars
between
the
city
of
tampa
and
western
construction
corps.
The
four
million
is
for
assessment
and
design
associated
with
the
valve
and
hydrant
replacement
or
rehabilitation
over
a
five-year
period.
Q
So
we
have,
you
know,
planned
accordingly
and
pick
the
areas
that
are
the
worst
of
the
worst
for
ballots
and
hydrants.
The
wnbe
and
slve
participation
in
this
space.
The
design
and
assessment
phase
is
expected
to
be
about
40
percent
for
two
firms
and
they're,
both
women-owned
small
business
enterprises,
name
of
the
firms
are
metzger
and
willard
and
valerian
root.
There
is,
however,
there
is
no
bbe
participation
in
this
phase.
However,
we
have
significant
bbe
participation
is
anticipated
in
the
construction
phase
for
material
supply,
maintenance
of
traffic,
concrete
work
and
then
workforce
development.
Q
So
this
work
is
becoming
urgent,
as
we
have
valves
and
hydrants
that
need
to
be
rehabilitated
or
replaced
in
the
in
those
five
areas.
We
will
be
starting
with
the
airport
area-
that's
our
pro
pro
most
problematic
area
with
the
worst
condition,
especially
the
valves,
and
we
are
asking
for
your
approval
of
this
item.
C
Q
F
A
C
I
L
If
I
made
this
my
aid
me
two
things
that
was
sent
to
us
last
night,
one
at
9,
10
p.m.
You
know
and
10
37
for
item
to
be
added
on
to
item
number
16.,
and
I
don't
know
if
your
age
gave
you
that
I.
L
One
adding
dates
to
the
I'll
make
you
a
copy,
then
I
have
some
copies
made.
Thank
you.
F
A
A
Good
morning,
council,
barbara
tripp
temp
fire
rescue
fire
chief
today,
I'm
here
to
discuss,
item
number
three
and
pretty
much
it's
an
update
from
an
item
that
was
discussed
or
recommended
by
council
from
last
year.
So
just
let
you
all
know,
I've
been
working
real
hard
trying
to
get
this
information
for
you
all,
so
just
going
to
give
you
an
update
on
what
we've
obtained
so
far
so
pretty
much.
The
mission
of
temp
fire
rescue
is
to
protect
the
community
for
providing
response
for
all
requests.
A
A
So
one
of
the
demands
were
to
assist
north
tampa
and
basically
because
of
the
call
volume
of
station
13..
So
after
going
back
to
the
station
and
reviewing
and
seeing
what
exactly
the
need
up
there,
we
had
one
engine
that
was
working
and
running
tons
and
tons
of
calls
by
itself
and
of
course,
we
had
other
resources
coming
into
the
area
to
assist.
A
So
we
made
some
changes.
We
actually
removed
the
truck
company,
which
that's
1.2
million
vehicle
that
should
not
be
running
a
lot
of
the
basic
life
support
calls.
So
we
incorporate
another
advanced
life
support
unit
to
station
13,
which
we
begin
to
levelize
the
call
for
service
in
the
area.
So,
as
far
as
the
unit,
our
utilization,
it
was
decreased
among
each
individual
as
far
as
the
call
volume.
A
A
The
compression
of
other
vehicles
being
strained
next
slide,
so
just
to
give
you
an
update,
since
last
year
we
have
hired
a
total
of
67
firefighters
staff
did
give
us
30
additional
ftes,
as
well
as
the
safer
grant,
which
we
accumulated
27
more
positions.
So
we
hired
a
total
of
67.
We
was
given
for
the
fiscal
year
22
of
57
positions,
some
of
the
things
we've
been
doing
to
go
on
and
try
to
seek
additional
firefighters,
we've
reached
out
to
a
lot
of
the
different
schools
within
the
area.
A
So
one
of
the
biggest
concern
we
had
was
an
outdated
computer,
aided
system
which
of
course,
does
the
dispatch
and
a
lot
of
information.
We
wasn't
able
to
retrieve
from
that
system
because
how
outdated
it
was.
So
we
have
the
new
system,
that's
been
implemented,
we've
been
working
with
tni
and
this
company
mobile
tech
we're
going
through
some
testing
phase
now
so
we're
hoping
that
everything
will
be
up
and
running
by
late
summer.
This
year
we
talked
about
a
comprehensive
plan
which
we
did
seek
outside
the
third
party
to
come
in.
A
We
just
received
those
reports
and
we
are
reviewing
what
resources
they
are
recommend
recommending
for
the
city
of
tampa
to
help
with
the
compression
of
overworking
staff,
so
that
is
in
progress
as
of
now
and
basically
I'm
continuing
to
have
regular
meetings
with
all
departments,
including
real
estate.
As
far
as
looking
for
additional
you
know,
property
that's
needed
for
temp
fire
rescue,
so
that
will
come
based
on
the
recommendations
from
that
outside
report
that
we
have
next
slide.
A
So
just
to
give
you
an
update,
we
talked
about
outdated
equipment.
We
have
a
lot
of
apparatuses
or
engines,
that's
outdated!
That's
like
over
20
years
old.
Currently
we
have
ordered
three
als
engines.
We
have
ordered
a
total
of
15
rescue
units
transport
units
and
we
have
ordered
two
additional
heavy-duty
rescue
vehicles.
A
We
will
be
placing
one
that's
15
years
old
downtown
and
we
will
incorporate
a
new
one
up
in
the
north
tampa
area
to
assist
with
any
type
of
serious
calls
that
come
up.
There
need
some
heavy
extrication.
We
also
in
the
process
of
ordering
an
additional
ladder
company
as
well
so
over
the
last
year.
These
are
the
updated
equipment
that
we
have
obtained
thanks
slide.
A
We're
trying
to
locate
our
fire
fleet
department
right
now,
right
now,
they're
off
for
spruce
street
and
basically
pretty
much
have
outgrown
that.
So
I'm
still
working
with
real
estate
and
trying
to
locate
some
property
we've
had
our
fingers
crossed
on
a
couple
of
properties
in
the
course
through
whatever
the
case
may
be,
of
course,
was
nolan
void
that
we
could
not
build
on
that
property.
A
So
to
talk
about
our
training
facility
and,
like
I
say
this
is
just
an
update
from
previous
the
very
first
powerpoint
that
was
given
our
training
facility,
we're
looking
to
begin
that
build
up
for
the
burn
building
which
will
be
the
summer
june.
1St
is
when
this
will
start,
so
we
should
be
operating
out
of
the
burn
building
by
the
end
of
the
summer.
We
are
still
in
negotiation
or
talking
with
a
facility
as
well
for
upgrading
the
police
and
fire
academy.
That's
out
there
next
slide
so
station
25.
A
Of
course,
we
was
hoping
that
it
was
going
to
be
up
and
running
by
the
first
of
the
year,
but
unfortunately,
due
to
the
age
of
the
station
and
outdated
system.
Of
course,
we
was
in
violation
of
some
codes,
so
basically
we
had
to
come
up
to
par
with
the
coast
in
order
for
the
the
crews
to
actually
live
out
of
the
stations,
and
one
of
them
was
to
implement
a
sprinkler
system.
A
The
building
did
not
have
a
sprinkler
system
when
law
enforcement
was
in
there
before
they
didn't
stay
overnight,
but
now
that
we're
bike
in
there,
of
course,
they
told
us
that
we
have
to
upgrade
them,
so
we've
been
upgrading.
Of
course
we
have
to
come
by
for
some
additional
fundings
and
we're
looking
to
have
that
done,
hopefully
within
the
next
I'm
going
to
say
a
couple
of
months,
because
the
permit
has
been
submitted
and
we're
looking
to
get
that
sprinkler
system
in
and
once
again
as
for
station
24.
O
Thank
you
and
I
appreciate
all
your
hard
work
chief
on
all
this
stuff
and
all
the
different
things
that
you've
gone
through.
You
know
it's
a
really
important
issue
and
all
obviously
relegate
this
to
fire.
Police
is
a
is
a
separate
issue,
but
you
know
fire
is
one
of
the
most
important
issues
that
we
have
with
our
growing
city
on
so
many
areas
you,
you
talked
a
lot
about
new
and
north
tampa,
obviously
very
important
issue.
O
I
know
new
tampa
in
the
last
analysis
that
I
saw
33647
has
four
the
six
fire
stations
with
the
longest
response
times
in
the
city
of
tampa.
The
challenges
with
station
13,
which
services
north
tampa
are
obviously
very,
very
well
known,
and
some
of
the
steps
that
you're
taking
and
thanks
to
your
leadership
and
hard
work
are
going
to
really
really
remedy
a
lot
of
that,
and
so
we're
very
very
excited
for
that.
O
You
know
we
we,
the
the
reason
that
I
had
pushed
for
a
public
safety
master
plan
is
because
of
the
long-term
challenges
that
we
have
throughout
all
of
our
city.
It's
not
just
new
or
north
tampa.
Obviously,
west
hampton
we
hear
a
lot
about
workforce
housing,
who's
going
to
respond
to
those
medical
and
fire
needs
in
west
tampa
west
shore.
A
lot
of
challenges
there,
south
of
gandy,
continues
to
grow.
We
continue
to
see
challenges,
obviously
in
east
tampa.
O
I
know
that
station
25
is
going
to
be
dealing
with
the
sulphur
springs
in
north
tampa
area
and
and
whatnot
we've
been
able
to
get
some
good
welcome
relief
through
arpa
money
on
so
many
levels.
O
That
has,
you
know,
been
a
real
godsend
for
our
city
and
that's
that's
a
wonderful
thing,
but
we
really
need
to
look
at
long-term
funding
sources
for
police
and
fire
I'll
speak
about
or
I'll
speak
about
police
after
chief
o'connor
comes
up,
but
you
know,
as
the
basic
idea
is
that
as
we
build
more
and
more
within
our
city
and
we
continue
to
see
housing
in
different
areas,
etc.
We
need
to
have
confirming
and
corresponding
infrastructure
investments
in
there.
O
I
saw
an
interesting
picture
that
I
think
it
was
a
firefighter
put
up,
which
is
comparing
downtown
tampa
about
10
11
12
years
ago
to
downtown
tampa
today,
and
you
see
the
vast
residential
expansion
that
there's
been,
but
they
continue
to
have
the
one
fire
station
there,
and
I
know
that
y'all
are
working
in
that
regard
so
for
for
the
folks
in
k-bar
range.
So
right
now,
station
24,
which
is
presently
dedicated
prospectively
to
k-bar
ranch,
that's
under
study
correct.
O
A
Was
going
to
be
in
north
tampa,
I
didn't
know
exactly
what
error
is
going
to
be.
We
was
going
to
base
it
off
the
analysis
that
was
given
to
us
and
the
recommendations,
and
I
understand
what
you
mean
as
far
as
k-bar
ranges
versus
response
time.
A
It's
not
the
call
volume
it's
more
or
less
the
response
time,
and
one
of
the
concerns
that
I
had
is
it's
pretty
much
like
one
way
in
and
one
way
out,
so
we
was
talking
with
the
county
as
well
to
look
at
other
areas
that
we
can
come
into
kbar
and
we
were
talking
about
more
of
an
asset
road
off
of
morris
bridge.
Yes,
to
help.
O
Yes,
man
and
and
if
that
could
be
done
as
opposed
to
a
whole
new
station,
that
would
save
us
a
lot
of
money
and
that's
a
wonderful
thing.
You
know.
One
thing
that
we
talked
about
is
perspective:
perspectively,
maybe
having
a
medical,
only
a
response
building
there.
That
would
be
great
if,
if
it
can
be
done
obviously
through
morris
bridge
road,
you
know
if,
if
stations,
what
is
it
21
or
22
get
a
call?
O
They
gotta
right
now
go
down
cross
freak
go
through
that
kenan
mansfield
connector,
which
is
solely
for
first
responders,
but
pedestrians
and
bicyclists,
and
then
go
into
that
area.
So,
obviously
that's
a
a
very
big
challenge,
and-
and
yes
call
volume-
is,
thankfully
not
an
issue
out
there
in
utamp.
I
believe
that
each
station
gets
about
1800
2
000
calls
a
year
compared
to
what
I
saw
for
13
and
11
get
about
eight
nine
ten
thousand
calls
a
year.
So
it's
it's
more
of
access.
O
C
You
very
much
chief
thank
you
for
all
your
work.
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
inviting
me
to
the
graduations
of
the
recruits.
The
last
one,
the
2022
second
graduation
was
wonderful.
It's
great
to
see
our
younger
crews
coming
out
and
their
badges
being
pinned
on
them
by
either
their
father,
their
mother,
who
may
have
been
a
firefighter
or
their
grandparents.
It
may
have
been
a
firefighter.
C
I
agree
with
the
councilman
veron
a
lot
of
things,
especially
a
new
fire
station,
is
needed
downtown.
Without
a
doubt.
You
would
mention
the
training
station
training
facility
on
34th
street,
and
the
renovation
of
that
are
we
going
to
have
enough
room
on
that
area?
Are
we
going
to
be
needing?
A
C
Excellent
excellent,
if
anybody
wants
to
see
what
our
our
our
recruits
do
go
take
some
trash
out
to
the
facility
out
there
at
the
at
the
dump
facility
out
there
just
just
watch
what
they
go
through.
It's
amazing
the
station
nine,
the
expansion
on
that.
How
how
are
you
looking
forward
to
that
and
and
our
fleet
maintenance?
C
A
They
need
to
move
because
they're,
actually
it's
compacted
there,
they
don't
have
room
to
do
a
lot
of
testing
in
which
that's
what
I've
been
working
with
real
estate
and
we
actually
been
looking
at
different
property.
We
came
close
twice,
you
know
and
because
of
a
lot
of
the
real
estate
with
the
epa
with
the
grounds
and
all
of
that,
of
course,
it
was
a
no-go,
but
I'm
still
working
with
real
estate
to
try
to
find
a
location
for
them.
A
Will
need
more
staff
if
you're
going
to
split
it
up?
I
think
if
we
have
one
localized,
you
know
fleet
area
that
can
do
all
the
maintenance
for
the
vehicles
and
maybe
have
like
a
substation.
You
know
that
in
case
of
you
know,
because
the
distance
you
know
depends
on
where
we
put
the
initial
fleet
facility.
C
L
You,
mr
chairman,
chief,
when
you
made
the
presentation,
listed
the
items
that
you
come
that
you,
why
not
purchase
for
the
next
couple
of
years?
I
assume,
however,
looking
at
the
cit
tax
the
year
2023
is
very
important
because
that's
the
last
bite.
Excuse
me:
that's
the
last
bite
you
have
of
that
tax
right,
so
that'll.
Ask
you
to
2026.,
then,
after
that
there
is
no
more
cit
tax.
L
L
It's
going
to
be
very
interesting
to
see
the
replacement
money
and
I
certainly
don't
want
to
see
that
money
tied
into
other
stadiums.
In
other
words,
you
built
the
stadium,
you
get
more
tax.
If
we
hadn't
built
any
stadium,
you
had
all
the
tax
you
needed
to
pass
the
first
one
back
in
february
of
96,
but
they
didn't
because
there
was
no
advertising
from
no
one
because
they
had
a
secret
agenda
and
that
agenda
was
the
stadiums
you
sell
it
to.
The
people
is
something
great
and
that's
what
you
get
so
you
were
short
changed.
L
K
K
I
know
that
between
director
adrie
colina,
who
was
just
here
and
deputy
administrator
sal,
rigerio
and
whit
remmer
are
working
on
a
fleet
replacement
plan
that
also
includes
the
transfer
to
either
hybrid
and
or
electric
vehicles,
and
I
know
mr
rogero
is
looking
every
day
him
and
I
meet
somewhere
in
the
middle
of
the
eighth
floor
and
talk
about
those
economic
conditions
that
are
forthcoming
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
10-year
plan
for
that
rolling
stock
to
support
both
both
the
police,
chief
and
fire
chief
with
their
public
safety,
rolling
stock.
L
And
I
appreciate
that
your
meeting,
because
it's
something
that
you
have
to
do
not
only
a
10
year
plan,
but
the
electric
vehicles
certainly
take
less
maintenance.
You
don't
have
to
change
the
oil.
The
filter
spark
plug
transmission
things
of
that
nature.
However,
you
do
have
other
challenges
of
the
batteries
and
so
forth,
but
I'm
sure
you'll
work
that
out
when
the
time
comes.
Thank
you
again
for
what
you've
done
in
the
past.
L
A
I've
been
looking
at
both
I've
been
looking
downtown
channel
side.
I've
been
looking
right
on
the
outskirts
of
downtown
just
trying
to
find
you
know.
Where
can
we
put
some
additional
resources
and
a
lot
of
that's
going
to
come
from
once
again,
like
I
say
the
recommendation,
so
I'm
going
to
look
at
the
recommendation
because
it's
a
it's
a
difference
when
we
we
run
90
000
calls
last
year,
70
000
of
them
was
medical
calls
you
know.
So
the
question
is:
what
do
you
really
need?
A
E
Hope
we
look
at
the
samples
having
so
much
growth
and
development
with
the
building.
Maybe
we
look
at
other
cities
how
they're
putting
those
buildings
are
going
up?
We
put
stations,
or
maybe
just
a
small
rescue
hub
underneath
those
buildings-
I
guess
that's
less
cost-effective,
because
if
we
can
partner
with
someone
who's
building
a
building
that
factor
all
in
so
my
next
question
will
go
into
you
know,
equipment.
E
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
high-rise
buildings
now
and
we
got
the
port
there
you
know
is:
is
that
in
the
future
plan
to
make
sure
we
have
the
right
proper
apparatuses
to
be
able
to
take
care
of?
We
do
have
a
major
incident
in
industry.
A
Well,
currently,
I
can
just
tell
you,
I
can't
predict
the
future,
I
don't
know
what
the
future
holds,
but
what
we
have
now
at
station
downtown
the
tiller
that
we
have
have
access.
We
have
additional.
We
have
six
aerials
or
truck
companies.
That's
in
the
area.
We
have
a
heavy
rescue
which
would
get
ready
to
implement
another
heavy
rescue
to
assist
with
any
of
that.
A
We
have
a
boat.
We
have
a.
We
just
received
a
grant
for
the
port
security
grant
for
both,
so
we're
going
to
upgrade
the
marine
division
as
well.
So
I'm
looking
at
the
big
picture
and
I
think
we're
prepared.
E
The
reason
I
said
because
if
you've
got
a
fire
down
here
in
the
fire
down
here,
you
know
you
know
the
vent
trucks
got
to
go
one
place,
you
know
so
make
sure
we
have
the
right
equipment
to
get
the
job
done.
But
if
you
say
we
we're
up
to
par
with
the
type
of
apparatus
we
need
for
fire
and
I'll.
Take
that
to
work.
I
Please,
chief
a
few
a
few
quick
questions.
One
is,
and
I
forgot
the
name
of
it-
that
I
call
them
paramedic
vehicles,
the
little
vans
that
are
just
used
for
health
response,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
use
the
big
ladder,
trucks,
the
the
fire
fighters
who
I've
spoken
with,
say
that
they
wish
they
had
more
of
those.
It
would
be
more
efficient
to
be
able
to
run
those
any
any
word
on
getting
those
in
more.
I
Yeah,
I
don't
know
the
exact
name
of
them,
the
small
vans
that
they
could
just
use
from
medical
response
like
in
south
camp.
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
responses
for
opioid
use.
You
don't
need
a
big
ladder
truck
to
respond
to
that,
and
sometimes
it's
not
easy
to
access.
But
if
you
had
a
smaller
amulet
style
van
where
you
could
respawn
quicker
quickly,
but
you
could
use
that
instead
of
the
big
ladder
truck.
So
is
there
any
plan
to
add
more
of
those
vehicles?
Yes,.
A
The
plan-
yes,
I'm
gonna,
tell
you
yes,
the
plan
is
to
add
more
transport
units,
as
well
as
what
we
call
squad
cars,
so
we
can
have
like
a
first
response.
That's
there,
you
know
initial
response.
The
same
thing
that
city
council
bear
was
talking
about
like
up
on
the
north
end
in
new
tampa,
so
it
is
in
the
talks
it's
in
the
works.
A
I
That'd
be
great,
thank
you
and
a
few
months
ago
I
spent
some
time
with
the
station
near
me,
which
is
a
marine
unit
on
interbay
and
and
so
when
they,
when
they
have
to
respond,
they
could
respond
to
fires
or
medical
response
right
in
their
area,
or
they
have
to
drive
all
the
way
to
west
shore
yacht
club
and
then
take
a
boat
out
from
there.
A
So
I'm
looking
at
the
big
picture
when
it
comes
to
the
marine
division
you're
referring
to
station
19,
which
we
have
two
stations
well,
actually,
three
stations
that
are
considered
marine
and
just
trying
to
see
where
we
can
locate
the
boats,
of
course,
having
what
they
call
a
slip
or
having
a
place
to
store.
The
boat
has
been
one
of
the
issues
and,
of
course,
I
am
looking
into
that
as
well.
I
Great,
thank
you
and
then,
as
south
tampa
is
growing
and
in
particular
the
thousands
of
units
that
were
approved
a
long
time
ago
for
south
of
gandhi.
It
seems
that
there's
concern
about
coverage
there.
If
you
fix
the
marine
unit
situation,
that
might
that
might
fix
a
lot
of
the
coverage.
But
how
does
the?
How
does
the
south
timber
coverage
look
to
you?
Do
you
think
it's
adequate
are?
We
are
we
maybe
falling
behind
like
north
campus.
I
I
If
you
give
us
specific
updates
citywide,
but
also
for
our
districts,
where
I
think
all
are
in
favor
of
helping
for
the
population
stay,
there's
we
don't
all
see,
fires
all
the
time,
but
people
don't
realize
that
they're
also
responding
heart
attacks
and
other
things
happen
all
the
time.
Another
thing
some
of
the
older
buildings
have
have
issues
with
compartmentalizing
from
the
the
vehicle
area
in
the
and
the
housing
area.
Is
there?
Is
there
a
plan
to
to
fix
some
of
the
old
buildings.
I
Like
if
vehicles
are
running
and
and
some
firefighters
were
sleeping,
if
the
doors
aren't
shut
completely,
then
the
fumes
could
go
into
the
living
area.
Is
there
a
way?
Is
there
some
plan
to
address
some
of
those
safety
issues
in
the
older
fire
stations?
I'm.
A
All
about
safety-
and
this
is
first
I'm
hearing
about
it-
usually
the
director
okay,
perfect,
thank.
I
I
Last
last
question
is
firefighters.
Tell
me
that
one
of
the
worst
fighter
fires
they
ever
had
to
respond
to
was
the
one
15
or
20
years
ago,
on
22nd
and
and
I-4
that
big
apartment
complex
because
it
it
was
made
of
wood
and
it
just
kept
burning
and
burning.
I
It
was
burning
hot,
but
a
lot
of
the
new
condos
and
apartment
complexes
in
south
tampa,
specifically
south
of
ghandi,
are
made
out
of
the
same
materials
and
although
the
firefighters
are
are
given
walk-throughs
during
construction
and
after
some
of
those
buildings
might
burn
really
fast.
Is
there
have
you
had
a
chance
to
look
at
our
building
codes
and
is
there
anything
that
we
should
do
legislatively
to
provide
more
safety
for
the
public
or
or
are
we
up
to
the
state's
national
standards
and
we're
fine.
A
I
can
tell
you
currently:
fire
marshall
reid,
actually
him
and
his
staff
is
up
on
a
lot
of
the
codes
and
a
lot
of
the
new
constructions
now
have
to
abide
by
certain
code
standards
that
wasn't
in
place.
You
know
even
five
years
ago,
so
a
lot
of
the
new
buildings
that
you
know
that
have
come
up
and
even
when
they
do
any
kind
of
remodeling
to
it
or
any
additions,
they
have
certain
codes
guidelines
that
they
have
to
go
by
now.
A
If
I
had
a
particular
building
name
or
I
can
look
into
it,
but
a
lot
of
them
are
getting
upgrades
when
it
comes
to
fire
alarm
safety.
So
with
all
the
measures
that
they're
making
sure,
especially
life
safety,
when
someone
is
living
in
a
station
overnight,
I
mean
I'm
sorry
living
in
a
apartment
complex
overnight
that
they
have
to
have
sprinkler
system.
They
have
to
have
certain.
You
know,
audible
fire
systems
that
they
have
to
abide
by.
C
Talking
about
the
marine
on
davis
islands,
you
and
I
have
been
talking
about
it
for
about
a
year-
there's
just
one
thing
holding
us
up.
Excuse
me
holding
my
ideas
and
thought
up.
I'd
like
to
talk
with
you
about
that
afterwards,
yes,
sir,
I've
been
working
with
with
port,
been
working
with
the
airport
been
working.
So
if
I
can
call
you
later,
please
thank
you.
Yes,.
F
G
F
T
Morning,
council,
mary
o'connor
police
chief
city
of
tampa
excited
to
be
here
in
front
of
you
today.
If
I,
if
I
can
get
my
slides
up
there,
we
go
next
well.
What
I
decided
to
do
here
was
if
we
could
back
up
just
one
slide
for
a
second
was
give
you
a
bit
of
a
snapshot
of
the
annual
report
from
2021
and
then
talk
about
some
recent
initiatives
as
part
of
the
whole
public
safety
master
plan.
T
Next
slide
please.
So
this
is
the
mission
of
the
tampa
police
department.
Obviously
it's
very
simple:
it's
reducing
crime,
enhancing
the
quality
of
life
through
a
cooperative
partnership
with
all
citizens,
and
then
our
core
values,
transparency,
respect
understanding,
safety
and
teamwork,
and
I
think
those
terms
speak
for
themselves
next
slide.
T
So
now
we
just
have
a
brief
breakdown
of
the
officer
to
citizen
ratio.
The
population
estimate
our
authorized
strength
right
now.
We
are
down
about
55
positions.
So
really
we
are
currently
at
about
a
hundred
and
930
full-time
officers,
the
citizen
to
officer
ratio,
2.5
per
1000,
and
the
fbi
nationwide
statistic
is
2.4
per
1000.
T
Our
self-initiated
is
down
14.4
percent
in
2021.
A
lot
of
that
is
due
to
our
new
data
integrity
unit,
looking
at
some
of
the
self-initiated
activity.
That
really
should
not
have
been
included
in
that
because
it's
really
like
non-essential
activity.
If
that
makes
sense,
our
response
time
still
looks
great
our
goal
for
priority
one:
eight
minutes
our
average
4.7
12
minutes
for
priority
two,
our
response,
eight
minutes
and
then
priority.
Three.
Our
goal
is
60
minutes
and
we're
responding
in
10
minutes
next
slide,
please
status
of
our
fleet.
T
T
This
is
a
snapshot
of
our
violent
crime.
At
the
top,
the
percent
change
murders
were
up
in
2021,
as
we
can
see.
17.1
percent
we
had
48
total
year.
We
currently
are
sitting
at
16
murders
year
to
date
in
2022.
T
The
rest
of
the
crime
rate
is
in
front
of
you.
As
you
can
see,
we
are
up
in
all
areas
with
the
exception
of
robbery
slightly
down
and
our
burglaries
are
slightly
down
at
6.5
percent
as
well,
and
I
have
a
lot
of
initiatives
that
I
can
speak
of
in
a
few
minutes
as
far
as
how
getting
a
handle
on
this
violent
crime
next
slide,
please.
This
is
a
new
unit
at
tampa
pd
our
behavioral
health
unit.
It
was
long
overdue
to
be
implemented.
T
T
It's
been
fully
operational
since
november
of
last
year.
The
high
utilizers
that
we're
managing
are
people
that
were
baker,
acted
and
we're
currently
managing
them.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
a
lot
of
mental
health
related
calls
just
january
to
march
23rd.
We
had
222
of
them,
so
these
three
officers
and
three
field
clinicians
until
we
can
hire
that.
T
T
T
So,
if
I
can
answer
any
questions,
I
think
focusing
on
this
last
slide
is
probably
the
best,
because
this
is
like,
futuristic
and
looking
forward.
O
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair.
No,
and
thank
you
for
your
comprehensive
report.
Today,
chief
o'connor,
it's
a
pleasure
to
see
you
here
today.
Ma'am,
you
know
I
I
I
really
like
the
the
different
points
that
you're
making,
because
it
really
talks
about
the
the
comprehensive
approach
to
smart
21st
century
policing,
right
that
I
know
you're
going
to
champion
as
police
chief.
It
really
harkens
back
to
you,
know,
dialogue
and
discussions
that
we
had
over
the
last
few
years
on
the
police
budget.
O
Yes,
you
know
there
were
different
voices
politically
locally
and
nationally
and
nationally
on
funding
of
police
budgets.
There
were
some
folks
who
who
went
with
the
whole
defund
the
police
idea
and
whatnot
my
position
on
that
from
day.
One
was
always
the
same.
I
wouldn't
support
it.
O
Nor
would
I
flirt
with
it
and
is
that
if
you
want
to
improve
policing,
then
you're
probably
going
to
have
to
spend
more
on
policing,
because
a
lot
of
the
improvements
that
that
council
has
done
in
many
other
cities
have
done
throughout
the
united
states.
Take
more
money
things
like
implicit
bias,
training,
right
body
cameras
which
I
I
believe
and
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
do
we
have
universal
body
cameras
now,
with
our
officers.
O
What
I
thought:
that's
not
cheap
right.
No,
absolutely
not!
So
a
lot
of
these
issues,
the
the
mental
health
unit.
I
was
able
to
meet
one
of
your
mental
health
professionals
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
at
a
homeless
outreach
effort
and
very
impressed
with
them,
and
that's
certainly
not
cheap.
O
So
you
know
my
position
has
always
been
that
if
you
want
to
continue
to
do
what
a
police
department
should
do,
which
is
to
get
engage
in
the
community,
engage
in
community
policing,
fight
crime,
support,
victims
of
crime,
engage
all
of
the
community
and
truly
be
inclusive.
It's
gonna
take
more
money,
and-
and
so
we're
we're
clearly
seeing
that.
I
know
that
in
a
couple
of
weeks
we're
gonna
be
talking
in
a
workshop
on
victims
of
crime.
O
Yesterday
I
had
the
pleasure
of
of
going
out
with
some
folks
from
rise
up
from
peace,
jay
johnson,
patricia
brown.
Another
gentleman
emmanuel
rivera,
who,
seven
months
ago,
lost
his
son
in
a
murder.
Very,
very
tragic
god
bless
him.
They
were
jay
and
patricia
were
speaking
well
of
a
meeting
they
recently
had
with
you.
So
that's
a
very
important
issue
there,
but
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
work
as
it
applies
to
the
public
safety
master
plan.
O
You
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
have
a
police
department
that
reflects
the
community
that
is
responsive
to
calls
for
for
crises
in
our
lives
and
crimes
that
is
part
of
the
community,
etc
and
again
as
communities
build
as
communities
expand,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
police
are
part
of
those
communities
responsive
to
those
communities
etc,
and
so
I
thank
you
for
your
work
in
that
regard.
Thank
you.
Ma'am
thank.
L
You,
my
chief
as
you
well
know,
a
lot
of
people
are
moving
into
this
area.
Yes,
and-
and
the
first
thing
they
look
at
is
what
type
of
crime
break
does
the
area
have
education,
wise
and
things
of
that
nature?
Acceptance
to
things
of
the
arts,
except
into
things
of
everything
that
people
want,
and
when
you
do
policing,
you
want
to
be
positive.
L
L
If
you
don't
take
care
of
the
little
crime
because
they
get
involved
in
that,
oh
I'm,
I
can
do
this
and
I
and
what
happens?
Little
kids
see
that
and
they
want
to
follow
who
whoever
they
see
this
doing
well
and
who's
got
a
bankroll.
Sometimes
a
criminal
has
a
back
row
and
that
becomes
the
kids.
Oh,
you
look,
he's
got
money.
He's
got
a
new
bike.
He's
got
a
new
car.
What
do
I
have
nothing
so
not
that
they
want
to
be
a
criminal
but
they'll,
see
and
subconsciously.
They
say.
L
Oh,
this
is
the
easy
way
there
is
no
easy
way
and
what
you
and
your
police
department
are
doing
today,
it's
outstanding
and
what
you're
going
to
come
complete
in
this
city
to
go
back.
How
we
were
is
what
we
need
and
we
need
strong
police
focused
police
general
police
all
at
once,
so
the
policeman
really
has
to
be
a
psychiatrist
in
a
way.
Yes,.
T
L
T
Wear
many
hats,
but
engaging
our
youth
is
one
of
my
is
one
of
my
definite
priorities.
I
I
know
that
you
know
that's
where
we
have
to
begin.
I
to
councilman
vieira's
point
about
jay
and
patricia.
I
have
partnered
with
a
lot
of
neighborhood
organizations.
T
L
P
L
Where
you
see
that
they're
human
beings
and
they're,
not
in
any
way
being
disrespectful,
the
kids
love
that
yes
and
they
love
all
that
stuff
and
one
day
I'll,
tell
you
a
story
about
myself
from
the
police
department
when
I
went
to
school
and
they
threw
me
out
because
I
didn't
know
english
and
I
still
don't
know
english
by
the
way.
But
it's
it's
a
it's
a
wonderful
thing
that
a
police
officer
did
for
me
and
how
privately
I'll,
let
you
know
what
it
was.
Okay,.
T
L
C
To
that,
thank
you
chief.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this.
This
information
that
you
presented
to
us
today,
a
couple
of
things.
There
are
still
dead
areas
for
radio,
especially
in
south,
tampa
that
I've
heard
concerns
about,
and
I'm
hoping
we
can
get
that
fixed.
Also,
looking
we're
still
driving
16
year
old
crown,
vics.
C
H
T
Well,
obviously,
the
budgeting,
you
know
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way,
and
I
know
that's
one
of
the
biggest
complaints
that
I've
heard
since
I
got
here
is
the
cars
are
really
old,
and
you
know
it
takes
a
toll
on
the
officer
when
their
vehicles
are
breaking
down
and
they're
at
fleet
maintenance
all
the
time
you
know
I
need
to
talk
to
the
assistant
chiefs
and,
and
obviously
chief
bennett
and
you
know,
come
up
with
a
plan
to
you
know
to
make
sure
that
this
you
know
this.
T
This
doesn't
continue
on
this
path,
which
is
where
the
hybrid
vehicle
testing
comes
in.
There
are
currently
some
hybrid
vehicles
deployed,
and
you
know
it
would
be
interesting
to
know
like
what
the
long-term
effects
are
of
the
hybrid
vehicles.
C
Okay-
and
I
I
thank
you
for
that
answer
but
doctor
there
was
a
point
we
were
talking
about
it's
time
to
stop
repairing
our
pipes,
I'm
repairing
our
pipes
and
replace
them
and
pipes
came
through
now,
it's
time
to
stop
preparing
our
police
vehicles
and
get
new
ones
so
you'll
be
hearing
from
me
during
budget.
T
T
There
one
one
slide
back,
please
there
we
go.
F
Health,
mental
wellness,
mental
health
which
appears
on
the
next
slide
community
orientated
policing.
F
F
Again,
someone
that
you
go
to
for
help
someone
that
you
feel
safe
with
you
know
we
have
the
stickers
in
this
building.
We
have
the
stickers
at
the
police
department
a
safe
place,
and
I
want
you
know,
ideally
in
my
mind
that
that
is
for
everyone.
Everyone
in
the
city
that
the
police
officer
is
positive.
F
The
police
officer
is
that
safe
individual,
where
anybody
can
approach
so
implementing
these
programs
and
having
these
units
and
these
officers,
and
you
have
a
phd
coordinator,
somebody
that
is
specialized
supervised
by
a
corporal
someone
that
has
risen
through
the
ranks
of
the
police
department.
That
understands
and
knows
how
to
work
with
the
officers.
And
then
you
have
here
the
four
field:
clinicians
the
cl
the
case,
workers,
people
working
with
grace,
point
and
other
organizations,
and
then
now
we
have,
we
only
had
one,
I
think
it
was
officer.
Mcdonald
was
his
name.
F
Now
we
have
two:
we
need
more.
What
happens
is
in
climates
like
ours,
you
know
it
snows
up
north,
it's
cold,
a
lot
of
people
will
come
down
to
warmer
climates
and
we
will
see
the
homeless
population
increase
and
it's
important
that
we
have,
and
I
think
we
should
have
more
officers,
because
it's
a
big
city
to
work
directly
with
these
individuals
that
are
on
the
streets
that
may
need
a
hand
up
that
may
need
help
and
to
get
into
the
resources
that
they
need.
F
So
we
can
get
them
off
the
streets
and
and
help
them,
but
you
know
we're
doing.
I
think
this
is
a
good
start
in
future
budgets
in
the
future.
We
should
build
upon
this,
but
again
that
the
police
officer
is
always
a
positive
image
in
everyone's
mind:
councilman
carlson,
do
you
have
anything.
I
Yes,
sir
chief
congrats
again
and
welcome
upward,
looks
like
you've
been
busy
the
hope
you
get
some
rest
soon.
Thank
you
as
I,
as
I
recall
in
the
last
three
years
that
this
council
has
been
in
place.
We've
approved
all
the
budget
requests
for
the
police,
including
an
increase
in
the
face
of
when
there
were
people
asking
to
defund
the
police.
We
increase
the
budget
or
prove
that
mayors
are
cool
to
increase
the
budget.
I
We
got
a
lot
of
flack
for
that,
but,
despite
that,
as
you
showed
just
now,
the
the
violent
crime
rate
went
up,
and
I
know
that
chief
of
staff
and
the
mayor
are
not
happy
with
that,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
you're
here,
because
violent
crime
rate
is
one
of
the
primary
measures
that
people
use
the
companies
use
for
economic
development
when
they're
looking
to
invest
in
cities
or
people
used
to
move
these
cities,
and
we
see
the
news
it's
real
stories
of
real
people
being
killed,
but
then
the
balance
is
a
couple
years
ago,
in
addition
to
the
george
floyd
other
situations
we
we
saw,
you
know
thousands
of
protesters
who
also
protested.
I
The
policies
of
the
last
administration
that,
because
they
were
race-based
and
and
people
in
east,
tampa
felt
they
were
oppressive.
How
do
we,
how
do
we
find
the
balance
and
in
solutions
to
reduce
the
violent
crime
rate
without
without
affecting
people's
civil
rights
and
making
sure
that
we
have
a
positive
relationship
with
the
community.
T
T
That
is
where,
back
to
back
to
your
point
of
the
crime
reduction
over
the
years.
That
is
how
we
got
the
crime
reduction.
Is
we
identified
the
offenders
that
were
committing
the
crimes
and
those
are
the
people
that
we
went
after
and
not
anyone
else?
If
that
answers.
I
Anything
that's
relating
to
the
budget.
Some
folks
have
pushed
out
misinformation
that
that
that
we
or
some
of
us
have
not
supported
the
police.
We've
actually
supported
everything
that
has
been
put
before
us,
but
as
you
as
you
get
ready
to
go
through
the
next
budget
cycle,
I'm
sure
chief
of
staff
will
brief
us,
but
please
brief
us
and
and
maybe
come
with
pba
and
talk
about.
You
know
how
we
can
improve,
improve
the
lives
of
police
officers,
because
they've
been
under
a
lot
of
stress
for
many
reasons.
Yes,.
I
We
can
help
them
improve
their
relationship
with
the
community
because,
as
you
talked
about
it's
very
needed
and
then
one
last
thing
from
from
a
south
tampa
point
of
view,
we
I
didn't
see
geographic,
dispersion
and
violent
crime.
I
My
sense
is
that
there's
maybe
less
of
it
in
south
tampa,
but
there
are
lots
of
issues
that
south
tampa
is
addressing
and
as
some
of
their
car
thefts,
break-ins
porch
pirates
speeding
through
neighborhoods,
loud
music
through
neighborhoods
people,
parking
things
they
shouldn't
be
parking
and
those
in
comparison
to
violent
crime
as
you're
trying
to
disperse
a
limited
number
of
officers
who
are
overworked
already
may
seem
less
important.
But
it's
really
important
to
our
constituents.
I
So
just
ask
that
that
azure,
as
you
and
and
chief
of
staff
and
others
are
looking
at
the
budget,
look
get
a
big
vision
for
it
and
and
we
need
not
just
reduce
the
violent
crime
rate.
But
we
need
to
look
at
the
average
quality
of
life
and
the
citizens
who
are
frustrated
about
some
of
the
day-to-day
things
that
happen
in
their
neighborhoods
as
well.
Please.
T
Yes,
sir,
even
even
some
of
them,
the
minor
crimes
are
there
they're,
still
a
part
of
our
overall
crime
rate,
so
we
do
need
to
address
porch
pirates
thefts
everything
that
you're
you're
talking
about,
because
it's
even
though
you're
right,
the
violent
crime
is
not
zeroed
in
on
south
tampa.
There
are
other
issues
down
there
that
we
are
well
aware
of
unlocked
v.
You
know
vehicle
burglaries,
thefts,
those
types
of
things,
so
we're
going
to
continue
to
focus
on
those
areas.
I
Yeah
and
just
a
reminder
to
folks
be
sure
to
lock
your
cars
and
a
lot
of
people
I
accidentally
because
my
kids
were
getting.
I
accidentally
left
the
car
unlocked
one
day
and
somebody
stole
things,
and
it
was
my
fault
because
I
didn't
lock
it
and
also
I
was
taught
by
chief
holloway
that
sometimes
cars
have
these
plastic
ballet
keys
inside
them
and
and
your
car
can
get
stolen
because
you
have
either
that
key
or
some
other
key
hidden
inside
it.
I
If
you
leave
it
unlocked
so
just
remind
everybody,
don't
leave
keys
in
your
car
and
please
lock
them.
Thank
you.
Thank.
