I
will

motion
to
open

for
consideration
of
tentative
fiscal
year,
2023
millage
rate
and
operating
and
capital

roll
call
vote.
G
F
G
Mr
rohrer,
this
is
the
first
public
hearing
statement.
This
is
the
first
public
hearing
statement
for
the
city
of
tampa
2023
budget.
The
proposed
rate
is
6.2076
mills
which
is
9.60
more
than
the
rollback
millage
rate
of
5.6641
mills.
Property
tax
funds
are
used
to
support
the
general
fund
operating
budget
community
redevelopment
agencies,
funds
of
the
city.
G
F
F
F
And
here
again
is
our
recommended
budget
1.866
billion
dollars
an
increase
of
about
3.5
percent
compared
to
the
current
year,
and
you
see
here
our
breakout
of
the
major
funds
again
I'll
point
out
that
the
bedrock
of
our
presentation,
our
recommendation,
our
discussions
and
our
negotiations
were
five
primary
things.
The
housing
needs
which
we
discussed
and
I'm
sure,
we'll
discuss
again.
F
You'll
recall
that
over
the
last
20
years,
we've
pretty
much
kept
pace
with
inflation,
with
our
negotiated
across-the-board
increases
that
came
to
a
sudden
change
this
year,
which
we'll
talk
about
number
four.
We
continue
to
emphasize
supporting
our
fund
balance
and
number
five
pursuing
our
capital
improvement
program
and
debt
program
to
do
those
major
and
expensive
projects
that
we
need.
F
I
will
note
that
the
increase
you
see
here,
3.5
is
despite
the
challenges
that
we've
continued
to
face
again,
we're
at
a
40-year
high
inflationary
figure
nationwide.
It's
a
little
over
eight
percent
in
the
tampa
metropolitan
statistical
area.
It's
over
11
percent.
We
haven't
I've,
never
seen
that
in
my
career,
very
few
have
seen
it
in
their
career.
The
price
increases
which
we
continue
to
experience
and
we'll
talk
more
about
that
and
a
very,
very
volatile
economic
environment.
F
F
There
are
additional
community
redevelopment
area
contributions,
which
we've
talked
about
and
I'll
highlight
again:
additional
police
fire
and
rescue
equipment,
higher
fuel
costs
they're
going
down,
but
they're
still
high
and
we'll
see
how
long
they.
Last
on
this
decline,
the
opec
plus
agencies
just
voted
to
curb
their
production,
because
they're
they're,
displeased
with
crude
oil
prices
decreasing
so
we'll
see
what
kind
of
effect
that
has
nationwide
well
and
worldwide
additional
funding
for
vehicles,
another
30
million
dollars
for
vehicles
across
the
spectrum.
F
And
well
before
I
move
on,
of
course
you
can
see
here,
as
we
pointed
out
before,
between
the
general
fund
and
the
enterprise
fund.
That's
three
quarters
in
fact
it's
over
three
quarters
of
our
total
budget,
so
we
break
those
down
down
here,
as
we
typically
do
on
the
left.
You
got
the
general
fund,
pardon
me
with
tampa
police
and
tampa
fire
rescue
parks
and
recreation.
The
tampa
convention
center
neighborhood
and
community
affairs
and
government
support
operations
on
the
right,
the
enterprise
funds.
Again,
these
are
those
agencies
that
have
to
operate
like
a
business.
F
F
Two
important
drivers
of
our
property
tax
revenues.
You
see
here
of
the
total
property
taxes
of
just
under
300
million
over
42
million
of
that
will
go
to
the
community
redevelopment
agencies
and
you
see,
if
you
look
to
the
left,
the
remaining
amount
of
property
tax
revenue
is
woefully
insufficient
to
cover
our
fire
and
police
expenses.
F
F
Again,
here's
the
breakdown
of
the
employee
classifications
and
the
note
excuse
me:
the
negotiated
increases
they're
receiving
pba,
the
iaff
and
the
atu
at
nine
and
a
half
percent
of
the
non-collective
bargaining
employees.
The
appointed
unclassifieds
are
nine
and
a
half.
Also
professionals
and
supervisors
are
at
nine,
and
a
half
percent
managers
are
at
six
percent
elected
officials
at
three
percent
and
the
directors,
deputy
directors
and
excuse
me,
deputy
administrators
and
administrators.
F
Turning
our
attention
once
again
to
the
general
fund
balance
as
we've
discussed
many
many
times
and
we'll
discuss
again,
a
very
important
metric
of
our
financial
health,
our
ability
to
handle
future
economic
risk
again.
This
is
a
very,
very
volatile
economic
environment
and
thus
a
critical
benchmark
for
the
rating
agencies.
F
You
see,
as
we've
pointed
out
before
our
reversion
to
our
what
I
would
describe
as
recently
typical
24
23,
very,
very
good.
It's
a
very,
very
nice,
steady
plan
and
well
above
our
policy
of
20.
As
I
like
to
tell
everyone,
our
policy
of
20
is
a
floor,
not
a
ceiling,
and
we
are
well
in
excess
of
that,
and
these
percentages
have
come
to
be
expected
by
the
credit
rating
agencies.
F
I
would
re
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
once
again
thank
council
for
their
support,
as,
as
you
all
know,
from
discussions
with
me,
this
is
very,
very
important
from
our
perspective
and
hopefully
in
the
context
of
that
very,
very
important
from
your
perspective.
So
we
appreciate
your
continued
support
of
keeping
these
levels
high.
F
Moving
on
to
housing
again,
one
of
our
primary
pillars
for
negotiating
and
discussing
discussing
and
recommending
the
budget
this
year,
you
see
the
series,
the
city's
history
of
housing
related
funding,
approximately
350
million
dollars
over
21
years
for
housing,
related
funding
from
federal
state.
Of
course,
the
american
rescue
plan
act,
the
community
redevelopment
agencies
and,
relatively
recently,
the
general
fund.
F
I
understand
that
again
there
may
be
potential
for
even
more
funding
from
the
community
redevelopment
agencies
based
on
the
additional
funding
they're
getting
from
the
property
property
tax
increases,
but
I
think
very
impressive
history.
You
see
following
the
great
recession,
two
years
of
spiked
funding
for
housing,
related
activity
and
then
a
very
large
spike
following
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
F
Moving
to
our
capital
improvement
program
again,
just
under
two
billion
dollars
of
five
year
five-year
projects
and
consistent
with
our
current
year
plan,
which
was
also
approximately
two
two
billion
dollars.
F
F
I'll
highlight
some
of
the
major
projects
here:
first
up
the
comprehensive
infrastructure
for
tampa's
neighborhoods,
you
see
that
in
east
tampa
and
forest
hills
in
mcfarland
park
and
virginia
park,
the
pipes
program
again,
the
water
treatment
plant,
the
wastewater
treatment,
plant
mains
and
distribution
line,
improvements,
collection
projects
and
waste
water.
A
great
deal
of
funding
up
to
now-
and
we
anticipate
a
great
deal
of
funding
going
forward
for
the
next
couple
of
years.
A
reminder
that
the
pipes
program
is
a
twenty
year.
Nearly
three
billion
dollar
plan.
F
So
you
will
continue
to
see
significant
projects
and
significant
funding
associated
with
that
program
and
the
parks
and
recreation.
Of
course,
the
east
tampa
recreational
complex
gandy
park,
south
and
aj
pollonis
park
improvements,
improvements
in
the
sulphur
springs
area,
wayne
c
pappy,
hyde,
park
improvements
and,
of
course,
the
ada
improvements.
We
have
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
every
year
program
for
ada
improvements
throughout
the
parks
and
recreation
system.
F
The
solid
waste
program
which
we've
recently
discussed
the
headquarters
and
fleet
relocation
from
spruce
street
the
waste
to
energy
facility
plant
again
that
we've
recently
discussed
in
mobility,
the
build
grant
the
west
riverwalk
the
tampa
multi-modal
network
and
safety
improvements
and
stormwater
projects.
We've
had
a
great
deal
of
success,
not
only
in
the
funding
for
storm
water
projects,
but
in
the
results
of
that
funding.
F
More
work
is
needed
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
In
a
moment,
logistics
and
asset
management,
public
safety,
training
facilities
are
in
the
five-year
capital
improvement
program,
as
is
tpd
impound
facility
and
offices,
fleet
maintenance,
decentralization
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
that,
and
the
efficiencies
that
can
be
gained
from
that
also
in
the
fleet
maintenance
division.
You
see
the
city-wide
electric
vehicle
charging
infrastructure,
the
wave
of
the
future,
and
we
need
to
plan
for
that
and
you'll
see
that
in
this
program,.
F
Following
on
the
heels
of
our
capital
improvement
program,
because
they
are
so
closely
linked,
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars,
our
anticipated
debt
program,
of
course,
each
debt
issuance
is
a
serious
decision.
Of
course,
you've
got
to
weigh
the
costs.
Now
the
anticipated
cost
increases.
You
know
the
intergenerational
equity
who
pays
for
it
do?
Does
the
current
generation
pay
for
it?
Does
the
next
generation
pay
for
it?
F
Does
a
combination
of
the
generations
pay
for
it
and
pardon
me
we're
doing
significant
and
important
things
as
we've
talked
about
and
that
takes
significant
money?
F
Speaking
of
taking
significant
money,
one
of
the
ways
for
it
to
take
a
little
bit
less
significant
money
is
to
have
very,
very
high
credit
ratings
and,
as
we've
discussed
before,
and
I'm
sure
we'll
discuss
again,
that's
what
we
have.
It's
always
worth
a
reminder.
I
think,
because
they
do
go
hand
in
hand
with
how
much
projects
are
going
to
cost
it.
Also,
as
we
discussed,
reinforces
tampa's
reinforces
tampa's
reputation
as
a
fiscally
sound
and
conservative
organization.
F
I
will
once
again
also
remind
council
and
the
viewers
that,
unlike
so
many
other
areas
of
local
government,
our
program
is
reviewed
by
an
independent
third
party
by
three
independent
third
parties.
In
most
cases,
standard
poor's
moody's
and
fitch
we've
talked
about
how
they
come
in.
They
they
take
an
unbiased
view.
They
look
at
where
we've
come.
What
our
and
what
our
plans
are
for
the
future,
and
you
see
it
ref,
you
see
them
referenced
here,
the
top
again,
the
issuer
credit
rating.
F
F
And
once
again,
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
thank
council
for
your
support.
We've
taken
as
we've
discussed,
big
bold
steps
both
in
the
projects
and
debt
issuance
areas,
and
you
see
the
credit
rated
credit
rating
agencies
have
taken
notice.
They've
taken
positive
notice
with
14
upgrades
since
2011.
F
Moving
into
our
debt
plan,
our
capital
improvement
program
includes
general
government
issuances
for
the
projects
you
see
here
again.
The
east
tampa
recreational
complex
fire
station
number,
24,
public
safety,
training
facilities,
tampa
fire
rescue
maintenance
and
supply
shop,
howard
avenue,
tampa
police
department
offices
and
the
fleet
maintenance
decentralization.
F
Issuances
now
is
probably
a
good
time
to
remind
council
that
any
debt
service
we
issue
has
to
come
to
you
and
it
will
be
accompanied,
as
it
always
is,
with
our
business
cases,
with
our
backup
documentation
and
with
a
great
deal
of
information,
because
it
is
a
serious
decision.
F
Water
and
wastewater
again
the
pipes
program
very,
very
large
for
20
years.
We
don't
know
you
see
at
the
top
there
fiscal
year,
23
or
fiscal
year
24,
depending
on
when
we
anticipate
we'll
need
the
funding
it'll
be
in
this
forthcoming
fiscal
year
or
maybe
in
fiscal
year
24.
But
it
is
coming
and
it
is
significant.
F
The
solid
waste
debt
issuance
that
we
have
discussed
again
there's
a
lot
to
do.
We've
talked
about
the
potential
for
rate
study
to
coincide
with
this
debt
service.
Again
we'll
be
coming
to
you
next
month,
with
your
workshop
to
offer
our
business
case
the
justification
and
a
great
deal
of
funding
information.
F
And
the
stormwater
debt
issuance
again
very,
very
successful-
I
think
I
think
just
about
everybody
would
say
that,
but
more
needs
to
be
done.
Approximately
61
million,
the
continuation
of
the
comprehensive
infrastructure
for
tampa's
neighborhoods,
the
lower
peninsula
southeast
region.
Among
the
other
projects
that
you
see
here.
F
And
our
principal
debt
service
now
that
you've
seen
where
we
anticipate
going
and
what
we'll
ask
for
your
approval
in
the
future.
This
is
where
we're
at
right
now,
just
a
little
refresher
green
line
shows
the
principal
outstanding
debt
for
water
and
wastewater.
Those
are
the
only
enterprise
agencies.
We
have
debt
service
for
right
now,
and
the
blue
line
shows
the
general
government
debt
that
includes
any
number
of
items:
the
existing
storm
water
debt,
the
community
investment
taxes,
the
aquarium
with
florida
aquarium.
Excuse
me
our
convention,
center
mobility
and
facilities,
improvements.
F
F
And
the
next
second
budget
hearing
council
is
september
20th
and,
as
always,
we
general
genuinely
appreciate
your
support.
Your
continued
questions,
your
continued
comments
and
that
we
can
answer
any
questions.
You
have.
D
F
H
So
the
first
question
I'll
throw
out
you
talked
about
in
the
in
the
budget
summary
you
talked
about
how
we
had
arpa
funds.
Last
year.
We
don't
have
our
funds,
so
they.
F
The
total
budget
increases
a
little
less
than
3.5
or
a
little
more
than
3.5.
So.
H
F
H
Were
there
any
other
significant
budget
changes
from
last
year
this
year?
Oh.
F
We
paid
off
I'll,
draw
your
attention,
for
instance,
to
debt
service;
that's
nearly
a
30
reduction.
For
instance,
from
the
current
fiscal
year
we
paid
off
a
number
of
bank
notes
and
refunded
some
existing
debt
for
savings.
H
So
you
talk
about
the
cra
money
here
and
then
in
the
summary,
in
the
mayor's
letter
it
talks
about
something
I
forgot
the
word
and
I
closed
it
already,
but
the
like
our
obligation
to
pay
cra.
Yes,
I've
been
advocating
for
putting
a
cap
on
the
downtown
and
channel
district
cras.
How
come
you
all
haven't
come
out
and
considering
the
way
this
this
chart
looks
it's
really
obvious
that
we
need
to
move
money
out
of
the
cra
and
half
of
that
is
downtown
in
the
channel
district.
H
How
come
you
all
haven't
advised
us
to
or
asked
us
to
put
a
cap
on
those
too.
Wouldn't
that
be
a
great
source
of
you
know.
The
police
department
needs
a
lot
more
resource.
Fire
department
needs
a
lot
more
resource.
We
could
just
pull
it
out
of
take
that
20
million
a
year
and
put
it
into
public
service
or
parks
or
something
pull.
F
H
That
it
yeah
it
is
a
cra
and
I've
been
pushing
for
it
to
be
separate.
But
since
it's
on
the
same
chart
together
it
it
makes
it
look
like
it's
pretty
obvious
that
we
need
to
move
money.
Can
you
go
the
next
slide?
Please?
Yes,
sir,.
H
And
I,
and
and
this
context
of
the
of
the
increases-
and
I
said
this
before
when
we
talked
about
it-
it
doesn't
give
the
historical
context
of
the
the
suffering
through
the
great
recession
and
everything
and
I'm
sure
any
of
these
groups
could
stand
up
and
show
us
the
the
longer
term
timeline.
But
if
you
look
at
9.5
percent
in
a
given
year,
if
you
compare
it
to
inflation,
it's
the
same,
but
if
you
compare
it
to
to
the
small
increases
or
lack
of
increases
for
many
many
years,
it's
it's.
H
It's
really
partially
catching
up,
and
so
I
somehow
wish
we
could
explain
that
to
the
public,
because
I
don't
think
anybody
would
be
against
these
kind
of
increases.
But
on
the
surface
they
just
they
look
large,
I'm
very
in
favor
of
them,
but
on
the
surface
they
look
large.
But
if
you
look
at
the
context,
they're
not
even
catching
up
with
where
we
should
have
been,
if
we've
been
able
to
keep
up
with
it,
can
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
Please.
F
Understood
before
we
do
that,
if
you
don't
mind,
perhaps
we
can
create
a
slide
that
shows
you
that
historical
context.
H
Yeah,
just
I
mean
if
we
went
back
to
before
the
great
recession
so
like
2005
and
and
just
look
at
the
percentage
increases
or
or
something
like
that,
just
to
show
the
timeline
of
what
how
it
went
up,
because
I
think
there
were
several
years
where
it
didn't
really
go
up
at
all
and
and
didn't
keep
up
with
inflation.
Okay,.
H
H
so,
and
I
think
the
floor
is
like
20.,
so
remember
going
into
the
great
recession
before
we
knew
there
was
a
great
recession.
I
was
pushing
to
increase
this
balance
because
the
last
administration
rated
it
and
now
we
may
be
going
to
a
recession.
H
All
signs
are
that
we're
going
into
recession,
but
now
our
percentage
is
lower
than
it's
been
since,
since
we've
been
in
office,
aren't
you
worried
about
a
rainy
day
fund
because
you've
in
theory,
you've
only
got
three
percent
there,
and
you
also
said
that
the
the
the
bonding
agencies
or
the
rating
agencies
are
counting
on
us
to
have
more
than
20
so
where's
our
rainy
day
fund.
F
This
is
already
dave
fund
and,
if
I
can,
if
I
can
speaking
to
your
point
about
context
of
course,
as
as
we've
explained
before,
the
amount
goes
up,
but
the
percentage
typically
stays
the
same
or
can
go
down
because
it's
ratioed
to
the
entirety
of
the
general
fund
budget.
So
you've
got
a
little
over
120
million
dollars
and
yet
it's
23
percent.
Whereas
back
in
2017,
90
million
dollars
got
you
23
and.
H
Isn't
it
isn't
it
true
that-
and
I
don't
remember
the
exact
year,
but
when
pamela
oreo
left
in
the
great
recession
around
2009
2010,
she
had
saved
about
150
million.
I
believe
so.
I
think
it
was
about
30,
odd
percent,
so
so
that
that
150
million
would
have
been
off
this
chart.
That's
how
much
it
was
and
the
next
administration
brought
it
down.
H
I
think
the
lowest
was
at
80
million
or
slightly
below
during
the
boom
in
the
economy,
which
I
think
was
reckless,
but
anyway
the
the.
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
the
larger
context
of
this
and
then
and
knowing
that
this
is
our
rainy
day
fund
and
we've
only
maybe
got
three
percent
wiggle
room.
I
can't
add
that
fast.
How
much
is
three
percent
three
percent
three.
F
Million
it's
about
above
20.
H
F
About
23
is
about
14
million
dollars
more
than
20.
How
much
is
just
the
3.
H
3
part
about
14
million,
14
million,
so
if
we,
if
we
needed
the
14
14
million
and
a
1.9
billion
dollar
budget
is
nothing
for
a
rainy
day
fund
right,
we
can't
we
can't
dip
past
20,
because
then
our
rates
would
go
up.
The
rating
agencies
would
would
change
the
ratings
of
us
correct.
They.
F
Would
look
at
it
with
a
jaundiced
eye
with
but
I'll
caveat
that
and
the
and
the
global
pandemic
was
a
perfect
example.
You
had
many
many
agencies
dipping
into
their
rainy
day
funds.
Again
we
were
very
fortunate.
It
didn't
hit
us
as
bad
as
we
thought
it
would.
H
If
we're
going
to
recession,
we
see,
if
anybody's,
watching
their
housing
price
on
zillow
sees
it.
It
was
going
up
up
now
it's
going
down
down
down,
and
so
whether
that's
right
or
not,
we
don't
know,
but
there's
lots
of
calls
that
we're
heading
into
recession.
You
never
know
until
after
it's
already
started
if
we
hit
a
recession
and
there's
there's
problems
in
the
economy
and
that
that's
when
the
community
needs
more
services
instead
of
less
we've
only
got
14
million
before
our
before.
H
F
H
F
F
So
I
can't
definitively
say
to
you
that
our
ratings
will
go
down
if
it's
less
than
20
percent
and
there's
a
a
new,
a
great
depression,
similar
to
the
1930s
for
instance.
So
our
rainy
day
fund
is
that
125
million.
But
don't
you.
H
H
H
There's
a
lot
I
could
say
about
this
next
slide.
Please
next
slide.
So
one
of
my
questions
is
next
slide
again
between
these
slides
is
there?
Okay,
you
see
the
pipes
budget,
you
see
the
the
stormwater
budget,
so
a
question
for
the
for
the
public
to
understand.
Is
there
anything
in
this
budget
for
pure?
Is
there
anything
toilet,
tap
pure
there's
nothing
in
this
budget,
1.9
billion
dollars?
Nothing!
That's
going
to
pay
for
pure
no.
F
H
And
then
the
can
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
next
well
on
the
on
the
parks
project.
Yes
in
this
in
the
summary
also
mayor,
talks
about
how
we're
we're
working
on
a
city-wide
parks
plan,
but
that
started
like
three
years
ago
and
this
council
passed
three
and
a
half
years
ago,
a
request
to
have
a
citywide
bicycle
plan
at
citywide
sidewalk
plan
that
was
rolled
into
the
mobility
plan.
But
to
my
knowledge,
the
mobility
plan's
not
done
either.
H
H
H
It
seems
like
we're
planning
forever
and-
and
I
think
what
people
want
to
know
is
when
are
their
parks
going
to
get
fixed
and
improved,
and
also
I
should
make
this
statement.
It
was
this
council
on
the
cra
board
that
pushed
for
fairbanks
community
center
to
be
renovated.
The
last
administration
had
refused
175
000
to
renovate
it.
We
asked
for
it
to
be
rebuilt,
and
I
was
thinking
ballpark
three
to
five
million.
It
came
out
like
18
million
or
14.
H
I
forgot
the
number
some
huge
amount,
but
there's
previous
administration
spent
32
million
on
julian
lane
park
that
was
a
park,
and
then
we
spent
32
million.
Now
it's
a
park
and
and
part
of
that
was
12
million
dollars
on
a
boathouse
people
around
the
city
are
concerned
that
all
their
parks
are
falling
apart
and
there's
also
concern
you
know
the
other
day
flooding
since
jeans,
up
there,
henderson
and
dale
mabry
was
flooded.
H
E
A
council
of
if
I
could
just
respond
on
a
couple
items-
gene
duncan
infrastructure
mobility
on
the
storm
water
project.
There
is
a
final
piece
that
the
department
of
transportation
has
in
their
work
program
that
will
allow
all
that
water
on
dale
mayweather
to
get
into
the
beautiful
trunk
line
that
we
just
built
that
goes
into
the
bay.
We're
really
excited
about
that.
We
actually
have
an
update
meeting
with
them
tomorrow
afternoon,
with
secretary
gwen
and
we'll
get
the
latest
schedule
on
when
that
work
is
going
to
occur.
E
E
We
are
planning
to
go
out
with
one
last
round
of
public
meetings
in
anticipation
of
the
referendum
coming
along
in
november,
so
we
can
refresh
inputs
and
refresh
the
topic
with
folks,
hopefully
get
some
interest
out
there
of
people's
desires
for
transportation
funding,
and
so
once
that's
complete,
we'll
look
and
see
if
we
can
get
the
penny
and,
depending
on
that
decision,
we'll
move
forward
one
way
or
another
to
try
to
find
ways
to
continue
to
build
our
system
out
to
what
it
needs
to
be.
H
Thank
you.
I
can,
I
see
oc
either,
but
I
can
go
on.
We
can
talk
about
these
76
afterwards,
but
could
you
go
to
the
debt
program
slide?
Yes,.
K
H
H
So
what's
the
what's
the
highest
that
the
city's
debt
has
ever
been,
it
doesn't
go
back
in
history
to
show
us
what
is
the
highest?
Has
the
debt
in
the
city
ever
been
higher
than
this
is
right
now?
This
only
shows
it
going
down,
but
you're
proposing
maybe
adding
other
other
debt
in
the
future.
So
the
number
is
going
to
pop
back
up
again
right.
H
F
H
You
also
mentioned
the
the
waste
water,
the
waste
rate.
Last
week
we
talked
about
the
the
the
waste
energy
plan
and
the
waste
system,
and
you
you
said
that
there
might
be
a
a
rate
increase
and
I
asked
when
and
how
much
and
you
didn't
know
did
you
find
the
answer
to
that
in
the
last
week
we
just
mentioned.
I
know.
H
And
then
do
you
know
the
the
percentage
that
the
the
the
money
that's
come
in
from
ad
valorem?
Do
you
know
what
the
percentage
increase
of
the
dollar
amount
is?
I.
F
H
About
40
44
million
dollars,
I
believe-
and
what's
the
percentage
difference
from
last
year.
F
I
do
not
I've
got
it
in
here,
so
if
I'll
sort,
I
can
circle
back
at
this
meeting
if
you'd
like
or
I
can
email
you
yeah.
H
I
think
it's
important
for
the
public
to
know,
because
you
know
we
have
some
people
that
are
just
moving
to
tampa
and
we're
getting
the
same.
Calls
that
bob
enriquez
and
others
are
getting
that.
You
know.
Why
is
my
tax?
Where
are
my
taxes,
property
taxes
going
up
four
times?
And
that's
because
somebody
before
had
homestead
exemption
for
30
40
years
and
they
were
paying
a
small
amount
and
then
somebody
new
buys
it
and
it
goes
up
and
they
should
have
been
warned
about
it,
but
they
didn't
know.
H
But
there
are
people
who
have
commercial
property
and
properties
that
aren't
under
the
three
percent
rule
and
and
they're
experiencing
higher
increases,
and
so
they,
as
we
know,
people
are
being
kicked
out
of
rental
apartments
and
other
places,
and
it's
important
to
know
how
much
more
has
come
in
in
ad
alarm
taxes
and
how
much
more
has
come
in
from
the
enterprise
revenues
too.
We
raised
water
rates
and
now
you're
talking
about
raising
waste
rates.
H
M
M
I
don't
know
which
page
of
the
budget-
this
is
still
haven't,
quite
figured
that
out,
but
the
actual
to
date,
expense
for
this
purifying
usable
resources
for
the
environment,
which
is
pure,
yes,
and
the
description
is
providing
up
to
50.
M
M
Thank
you,
millions
of
gallons
a
day
for
sustainable
supply
to
the
hillsborough
river
reservoir
for
lower
hillsborough
river
minimum
flows
and
drought
proofing
the
drinking
water
supply.
It
says
the
actual
to
date
spent
is
about
425
000,
but
the
budget
is
2.2
million.
What,
where,
where
is
that
other
money?
Is
it
just
sitting
in
an
account?
Yes,.
F
F
We
could
not
and
and
that
no
that's
and
that's
because
they're
based
on
water
revenue
and
water
revenues
have
to
be
spent
on
water
purposes.
F
F
M
Would
that
would
be
something
that
would
be
wonderful.
Thank
you
because
that's
we
at
least
I
have,
and
I
I
think
my
colleagues
have
gotten
tons
of
emails
about
unfunding,
pure,
so
any
way
we
can
do
to
if
it's,
if
it's
possible,
to
move
it
to
another
water
project.
I
think
everyone
will
be
really
happy
with
that.
We.
N
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation,
sir.
Just
a
couple
of
questions
because
you
did
have
a
slide
on
it
on
housing,
but
it
was
confusing.
How
much
are
we
dedicating
towards
housing
between
federal
funding
and
general
fund
every?
What
is
the
total
amount?
That's
going
towards
housing
in
this
budget.
K
Perfect,
so
we
have
good
evening
council,
nicole
travis
administrative
development
and
economic
opportunity.
We
have
26.4
million
dollars
allocated
from
federal
state
and
general
fund
revenue.
That
does
not
include
any
of
the
money.
That's
already
allocated
for
housing
programs
within
your
cra
and
on
thursday
I'll
talk
to
you
about
reallocating
some
unappropriate
or
unspent
funds
from
the
current
fiscal
year
and
doing
that
in
october.
So
this
26.4
million
dollars
only
includes
federal
state
and
general
fund
dollars.
N
O
N
To
clarify
that,
because
the
slide
was
was
unclear
a
couple
of
other
things
I
saw
in
this
budget
that
there's
a
a
slide
for
villa
brothers
park,
which
I
know
in
last
year's
budget.
We
were
able
to
get
all
the
funding.
For
that.
I
see.
N
Total
budgeted
to
date
is
2
million
dollars,
but
the
park
is
not
finished
and
it's
not
near
completion
and
I
work
with
the
neighborhoods
every
few
days
we're
talking
not
every
day
regarding
the
status
of
that
and
the
reason
I
say
that
is
because
there
are
other
projects
that
I've
asked
for
and
that
you've
you
know,
graciously
put
in
this
budget.
The
improvements
to
wayne
pappy
the
veterans
memorial
park
in
carver
city
lincoln
gardens.
N
But
I
want
to
know
when
you
know
we're
gonna
be
looking
at
approving
a
new
budget,
yet
we're
not
in
completion
of
a
project
from
the
last
budget.
Do
you
I
know
oc
is
here
whomever,
but
what
is
the
status
of
vila
brothers
veterans
day
is
coming
up?
I
know
that
they've
been
in
contact
with
family
members.
We've
done
public
meetings,
but
I'd
like
to
know
what
what
is
the
hold
up
there?
N
P
Good
morning,
council
good
evening
councils
here
win
administrative
neighborhood
and
community
affairs,
councilman
mattis
galco
the
status
of
villa
brothers.
Is
that
we're
in
the
process
of
getting
the
infrastructure
part
of
the
of
the
project
done
after
that's
done,
we
will
be
starting
the
actual
parks
improvement.
P
We
anticipate
to
have
the
project
done
by
the
first
quarter
of
next
year,
so
within
the
next
several.
L
N
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
next
question,
sir,
is
I
know
that
we
do
allocate
funding
in
each
budget
for
different
services
outside
like
tbae
and
other?
Yes,
sir,
what
about
the
naacp?
Do
you
happen
to
know
what
the
city
contributes
to
the
naacp.
N
J
Thank
you
very
much,
sir,
and
and
just
for
clarification.
May
we
or
just
general
questions
at
this
time.
This
is
general.
I
I
would
think
okay.
Thank
you
very
much
and
a
lot
excuse
me
a
lot
of
good
questions
and
whatnot
and
and
and
whatnot
a
couple
of
quick
issues
here.
There
was
a
reference
there
to
fire
station
24.
J
and
I'm
going
to
be
making
a
motion
for
the
administration
to
graciously
meet
with
local
754
to
get
some
definition
on
what
that's
going
to
be
between
first
and
second
reading.
If
you
would
please
my
vision
that
I've
said
before
for
each
budget,
because
I
think
we're
really
and
no
fault
of
of
this
administration,
I
want
to
be
clear
of
this
city
council,
but
we're
running
behind.
I
think
on
some
public
safety
issues.
J
When
you
take
a
look
at
our
growth,
I
think
we've
grown
between
2010
to
2020,
about
16
percent
were
about
400,
000
or
so
folks
in
the
city
of
tampa,
give
or
take,
and
that's
why
I
pushed
for
a
couple
of
years
ago,
the
public
safety
master
plan
to
look
at
all
of
the
city
at
camp
across
for
police
and
fire
see
where
our
needs
are,
and
then
talk
about
a
fiscal
bridge
on
on
how
to
get
there
for
for
public
safety
for
police
and
fire.
J
Luckily,
we've
been
able
to
get
arpa
money
over
the
last
few
years,
which
has
helped
us
a
great
deal.
We
just
saw
the
opening
of
tampa
fire
station
25,
which
in
significant
part,
was
because
of
arpa
money.
So
that's
wonderful,
but
I'd
like
to
know,
and
again
you
don't
have
to
answer
it
now,
because
you
may
not
know
asked
fire
station
24.
What
that's?
What
that's
going
to
be?
Is
that
going
to
be
north
tampa?
Is
it
going
to
be
to
address
the
challenges
in
k-bar
ranch,
etc?
J
Another
thing
I'd
like
to
see
is
because
again,
my
vision
that
I'd
like
to
see
is
to
have
construction
money
for
a
fire
station
each
year,
combined
with
design
money
for
the
next
year.
Kind
of
like
we
did
last
year,
which
is
we
took
a
look
at
north
and
new
tampa
for
24
we
funded
25
came
about
was
much
easier
because
it
was
a
refurbished
fire
station,
so
we
kind
of
you
know
were
able
to
expedite
that,
and
obviously,
given
the
crisis,
the
13
that
came
forward.
J
But
I'd
really
like
to
see
that
from
what
I
see
and
again,
I
I
defer
to
our
wonderful
chief
trip,
who
does
such
a
great
job
on
this
issue.
It
would
appear
that
channel
side
may
very
well
be
next
on
that
on
that
list,
potentially
for
the
the
design,
money,
etc,
so
I'll
be
making
that
motion
whenever
the
appropriate
time
comes
a
couple
of
other
key
programs
that
I
think
were
in
the
budget.
That
again,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
for
the
sake
of
transparency,
the
public
etc.
J
I
talked
to
chief
bennett
about
this.
Is
this
program
this
city
of
tampa
budget
includes
funds
for
a
victims
of
crime
program
to
assist
victims
of
crime
with
gap
funding,
if
somebody
has
a
loved
one
who
is
a
victim
of
homicide
or
if
somebody
is
a
victim
of
sexual
battery,
etc,
etc.
This
budget
will
fund
at
a
certain
level
gaap
funding.
Is
our
friend,
jay
johnson,
from
rise
up
for
p,
says
if
your
son
or
daughter
is
taken
away
from
you,
you
still
got
to
pay
the
rent.
J
So
I
know
that's
in
there
we
can
get
into
specifics
later,
but
later
on,
I'll,
be
making
the
motion,
if
I
may,
with
regards
to
my
vision
for
fire
as
well
as
taking
a
look
at
more
specificity
before
first
and
second
reading,
just
so
that
the
public
can
know
what
that
million
dollars
exactly
is
going
to
go
to
that's
it
at
this
time.
I
think
thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
very
much
dennis.
Thank
you,
sir
councilman.
D
C
Miss
travis:
I
want
to
talk
about
housing.
Yes,
sir.
C
The
the
the
breakdown
I'm
not
clearing
the
breakdown.
We
talk
about
general
fund
because
people
keep
saying
how
much
money
general
fund,
but
then
you
look
at
this
this
big
pattern
of
these
federal
dollars,
so
I
think
people
want
to
get
a
clear
understanding
of
how
it
will
be
utilized
in
this
budget
because
it's
not
really
clearing
them.
That's
where
we're
having
people
in
the
press
talking
about
general
fund
money,
more
general
fund
money
for
housing.
So
if
we
can
get
an
explanation
on
the
actual
general
fund
breakdown.
C
F
F
K
Evening,
council,
so
the
breakdown
for
the
four
million
dollars
that
is
general
fund
for
fiscal
year
23
is
1
million
for
the
owner
occupied
rehab,
1
million
for
down
payment
assistance,
1
million
for
homeless
and
1
million.
For
what
did
I
miss?
Oh
our
map?
Sorry,
that's
the
rental
move-in
assistance
program!
So
this
this
current
fiscal
year
you
allocated
5
million
for
our
map,
any
unused
funds
that
were
not
expended
in
this
fiscal
year,
we're
going
to
roll
over
and
add
it
to
that
1
million
dollar
allocation
for
the
rental
and
moving
assistance
program.
C
It's
not
a
lot
and
but.
K
Also,
but
remember
that's
in
addition
to
to
the
fun
so
I'm
gonna
put
this.
K
So
the
rental
assistance
you
see,
I
told
you
one
million
dollars
for
rental
assistance
from
general
fund,
but
you
have
rental
assistance.
We
have
a
total
of
6.9
million
dollars
for
rental
assistance,
home
ownership,
which
is
also
your
down
payment
assistance,
1
million
from
general
fund,
in
addition
to
federal
funds
that
give
us
a
total
of
3.3
million
dollars
in
that
bucket.
So
these
are
the
categories
except
for
the
public
services
portion
that
a
million
dollars
for
each
one
of
those
from
general
fund
will
be
going
into
each
one
of
those
buckets.
C
I'm
just
fearful,
you
know
november
will
be
approaching
and
we
know
what
that
means
for
november
approach,
a
lot
of
people
be
put
out
and
that's
what
I'm
scared
of
to
make
sure
we
have
a
certain
amount
of
money
to
be
able
to
help
some
of
these
people,
and
again
I
talked
about.
We
need
to
talk
to
some
of
these
empty
folks
who
have
empty
beds
around
the
city.
Yes,.
K
C
It
needs
to
be
a
conversation,
you
know,
I
know
we
get
the
nimby
theory
all
the
time,
but
vacancies
are
up
and
people
need
to
be
in
them.
I
know
a
lot
more
private,
but
we've
got
to
find
a
way
to
see
how
we
can
utilize
our
dollars
to
get
folks
in
the
housing
and.
K
To
your
point,
you
made
a
point.
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
the
last
council
meeting
where
we
talked
about.
There
are
some
property
owners
that
are
doing
good,
that
are
keeping
their
rent
at
a
reasonable
level,
and
there
are
others
that
are
just
continuously
increasing
the
rents,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
doing
is
doing
a
campaign
pretty
much
celebrating
those
property
owners
and
landlords
that
are
that
are
being
good
stewards
and
understanding.
The
crisis
that
we're
in
and
you
know,.
C
We'll
have
another
conversation
offline
before
the
second
here
I
just
got.
I
don't
want
to
believe
in
other
people
want
to
talk,
but
I
thank
you
for
that.
I
want
to
get
to
the
east
tampa
project,
mr
hill,
how
how
are
we
going
to
break
that
up?
How
what's
the
time
frame,
because
I
get
calls
every
day
people
are
excited
in
each
tampa
about
that?
What
I
call
the
epic
mega
epic
center:
how
how?
How
is
that
coming?
F
C
That's
what
I'm
looking
for,
I'm
looking
because
you're
saying
here,
I'm
looking
at
we're
saying
a
complex,
so
I'm
looking
at
who's
the
j
who,
who
is
the
rfp,
been
put
out
for
the
whole
layout
of
the
whole
complex
to
know
how
those
phases
will
be
done.
That's
what
the
public
wants
to
know.
Are
we
starting
to
tear
everything
down,
so
people
can
start
to
see
development
going
on?
So
that's
what
I'm
more
interested
in?
How
is
it
going
to
be
implemented
for
the
phases
to
get
the
part
done
at
a
completion
time.
P
Councilman
gills,
if
I
may,
I
would
like
to
come
back
with
you
with
you
with
the
complete
process
of
how
that
will
be
faced
and
what
you
can
expect
going
forward.
Since
I
don't
have
that
information
in
front
of
that.
C
That's
very
because
the
public
wants
to
know
that,
because
you
know
they're
hungry
and
I
don't
want
to
say
we're
going
to
put
this
one
little
bill
in
here
and
wait
a
couple
years.
No,
I
want
to
see
the
plan
of
if
what
we're
tearing
down
how
it's
going
to
be
implemented,
so
the
wow
factor
comes
not
just
throwing
one
building
here
and
waiting
and
waiting.
I
don't
want
to
see
that
I
want
to
see
we
we
talk
about
bombs.
We
do
bonds
for
everything
else.
C
P
C
And
again,
community
outreach.
It
don't
take
six
months
to
do
a
community
outreach.
I'm
gonna
be
honest
with
you,
so
I
don't
wanna
see
a
plan
because
we
know
the
needs
what
we
want
in
that
community
already.
So
I
don't
wanna
come
it's
gonna,
be
time
it's
gonna.
Take
them
a
year
to
do
a
community
outreach.
That's
that's
not
acceptable.
It
don't
take
that
long
to
do
it.
For
me.
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear
on
the
record.
C
You
know
when
I
hear
about
community
outreach,
I
mean
we
know
who
the
major
players
are
in
those
communities
that
we
need
to
get
to
to
be
able
to
get
things
moving.
I
just
don't
want
to
wait
in
those
six
months
to
a
year.
We're
still
waiting
on
community
outreach.
That'll
be
unacceptable
to
me.
A
Hi
good
evening,
janelle
mcgregor,
director
of
community
engagement,
just
to
kind
of
expand
on
the
community
engagement
for
the
east,
tampa
recreational
center
at
fair
oaks.
The
outreach
isn't
going
to
be
six
months.
It's
not
going
to
be
12
months.
It's
going
to
be
project
throughout
the
whole
duration
of
the
project,
because
this
is
a.
A
C
You
we
have
five
communities
that
I
know
that
affect
that
particular
part.
So
that's
what
I'm
saying
it
shouldn't
take
a
long
time
dealing
with
grand
park,
holland,
fines,
even
the
north
side
of
the
street,
of
all
the
woolly
people
within
terrace
folks,
you're,
the
other
other
side,
with
your
eboard
hikes
and
eboard
growth
groups,
because
they
also
have
a
park
with
that
borderline
so
and
you're
southeast
seminole
heights.
Folks.
So
there's
only
about
five
or
six.
We
gotta
really
reach
to
really
know
what
we
need
to
put
in
there
and
I've
always.
C
C
I
get
a
lot
of
calls
from
folks
talking
about
that
fund
and
I,
I
guess
people
are
trying
to
say
what
is
the
cap
on
the
phone,
mr
bennett?
How?
How
is
that?
How
are
we
really
saying
who's
getting
what
money
and
how
they're
getting
that
money,
because
you,
you
have
a
pool
of
money.
C
You
know
somebody
wants
250
000,
somebody
wants
75
naacp
says
they
get
more
money
from
the
county.
You
know
the
the
major
programs
and
players
versus
some
of
the
smaller
groups.
You
know-
and
I
really
want
to
try
to
help
this
time
around
with
this
bucket
of
money,
some
of
those
smaller
groups
who
really
want
to
do
good
work,
but
make
sure
that
there's
sustainable
programs
and
they're
gonna
and
they're
doing
the
work
but
giving
them
an
opportunity.
F
C
Sure
we
we
we,
we
look
at
those
very
close,
this
time
versus
those
who've
been
getting
it,
but
we
haven't
been
getting
a
bang
for
a
buck
or
we
give
money
to
somebody.
I
want
to
be
clear:
if
we're
giving
somebody
some
substantial
amount
of
money,
they
need
to
be
a
good
partner
with
the
city
and
help
the
city
to
do
what
we
need
to
do,
not
to
just
give
money
to
say.
Okay,
you
have
a
program.
You've
been
doing
this
for
so
many
years.
C
No,
but
they
say
how
can
we
be
able
to
fuse
what
we
do
with
what
they
do
to
help
us?
You
know
with.
I
look
this
production
here,
some
of
these
folks
that
are
asking
for
money.
They
need
to
be
good
partners
to
be
able
to
help
us.
You
know
with
broadcasting
and
do
some
things
like
that.
I
just
firm
believe
that
don't
mind
giving
money,
but
I
believe
that
you
have
to
be
able
to
give
back
as
well.
F
Understood
would
you
like
an
overview
now?
Would
you
like
to
talk
about
okay?
This
is
what
we
call
our
social
action
and
arts
fund.
In
the
current
year
fiscal
year,
22
there
was
a
million
dollars
as
of
right
now
about
90
percent
of
that
has
been
spent
in
the
last
few
years.
When
mayor
castro
came
on,
we
started
doing
exactly,
as
you
said,
attaching
return
on
investment
requirements
to
this
funding,
both
to
those
organizations
that
have
received
funding
in
the
past
and
those
organizations
that
want
to
receive
funding.
We
have
funded
some
new
organizations.
F
We
have
also
seen
that
some
organizations
that
want
money,
for
whatever
reason,
don't
want
to
comply
with
the
return
on
investment
information.
What
are
the
metrics?
What
is
the
city
going
to
get
for
this
funding?
Some
have
some
have
not
so
it
was
a
million
dollars.
In
the
current
year
we've
allocated
or
we've
recommended
council
appropriate
1.3
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year
23,
so
another
300
000
not
only
for
those
incumbent
agencies,
if
you
will,
if
they
continue
to
explain,
what's
in
it,
for
the
city,
but
also
new
agencies.
M
I
forgot
to
do
my
list.
Sorry,
I
was
so
focused
on
pure
sidewalks.
I
see
that
we
have
4.1
million
dollars
for
street
resurfacing
and
then
there's
several
peppered
in
for
different
sidewalks.
M
E
M
Yes-
and
I
saw
several-
I
just
I
yes
didn't-
couldn't
do
the
adding
that
quickly,
but
I
but
my
my
quick
addition
is
it's
not
close
to
4.1
million
and
I
would
love
to
get
it
similar
to
the
street
resurfacing.
I
feel
like
adding
sidewalks
and
resurfacing.
Our
streets
are
are
equally
important,
sidewalks,
if
not
more
so
so,.
E
We
would
love
to
add
more
as
well
currently
in
this
particular
budget.
As
far
as
a
line
item
goes,
we
have
about
a
half
a
million
dollars
for
our
maintenance
program,
where
a
lot
of
that
is
grinding
down
to
eliminate
those
deflections
and
tripping
hazards,
and
then
we
have
only
650
000
for
new
construction.
E
However,
every
single-
I
shouldn't,
say
every
single
majority
of
our
roadway
projects,
whether
they're
complete
streets
or
safety
projects,
whatever
opportunity
we
have
in
any
of
those
projects
to
include
sidewalks
as
well.
That
is
a
top
priority,
so
I
don't
have
an
exact
mileage
number
for
you,
and
maybe
we
can
try
to
calculate
that.
We
have
many
miles
of
sidewalks
that
will
be
going
in
through
those
other
projects,
but
as
far
as
line
items,
the
numbers
are
not
very
impressive.
Here
I
have
to
agree
with
those
line
out
of
numbers.
E
M
And
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that
and
if
there
is
a
way
that
you
could
just
give
a
ballpark
about
what
we
think
we're
getting
from
other
areas,
because
I
think
that's
also
valuable
for
citizens
to
see
that
we
are-
and
I
have
seen
in
a
lot
of
the
projects
we
are.
I
did
see
the
flora
brassica
complete
street,
for
example,
which
I
know
will
include
sidewalks.
E
D
H
If
I,
if
I
remember
correctly
2019
when
we
started
the
total
budget
of
the
city,
was
about
900
million
and
the
sidewalk
budget
was
about
600
000
and
now
we're
at
1.9
billion
and
it's
600
000..
I
understand
we
have
enterprise
budgets
and
other
things,
but
is:
is
there
not
a
is,
does
the
administration
not
prioritize
sidewalks
or
are
we
just?
Is
there
just
a
hail
mary
to
the
to
the
offer
transportation
I
mean
considering
the
buzz.
I
hear:
that's
not
going
to
pass
again
and
so
or
it'll
get
caught
up
in
litigation.
H
So
if
we
keep
waiting
on
it,
we're
never
going
to
have
sidewalks.
Is
there
some
other
funding
source
or
something
else
that
we
can
do
to
try
to
make
this
a
priority?
We've
said
as
city
council
that's
a
priority,
but
considering
if
the
budget
really
hasn't
changed,
when
the
when
the
total
city
budgets
more
than
doubled,
it
doesn't
seem
like
administration
takes
sidewalks
as
a
priority.
E
E
We
can
do
some
with
multimodal
fees,
there's
a
some
nuances
with
that
that
we
have
to
follow
those
are
from
our
developers
who
get
those
contributions.
Obviously
we're
constantly
going
after
grants.
So
those
have
been
our
traditional
fund
sources.
E
We
generally
do
and
excuse
me
cit
as
well
historically,
but
we
generally
do
not
fund
sidewalks
with
the
general
fund
revenues,
that's
not
to
say
that's
not
allowed
or
an
option.
That's
just
not
been
sort
of
the
past
history
of
funding,
support
for
sidewalks.
H
H
E
E
So
but
yes,
I
would
just
say
in
the
scheme
of
the
needs,
I
don't
know
that
we
want
to
put
5
million
just
on
sidewalks,
not
that
they're
not
important,
but
another
big
complaint
we
have
from
the
public.
Is
the
street
resurfacing
and
that's
woefully
underfunded
as
well.
So
we
wouldn't.
We
would
never
turn
down
additional
money
as
long
as
it
didn't
negatively
impact
something
else
into
general
fund
money.
So.
G
Councilman
miranda,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
You
mentioned
two
things:
gas
tax
and
cit
both
will
be
negative.
Cit
you
got
one
more
by
then
that's
the
year,
23
24,
25
and
26.
Then
it
ends
period.
Yes,
unless
the
taxpayers
pay
another
tax
for
another
additional
half
cent
or
whatever.
F
G
The
gas
tax,
as
you
well
know,
trying
to
save
the
environment,
which
we
all
need
to
save
and
do
something
more
with
solar
and
other
benefits
to
make
the
earth
a
little
cleaner.
What
it
is
now
is
that
your
revenues
against
tax
are
also
going
to
go
down
significantly
when
all
these
manufacturers
of
big
companies
that
manufacture
the
automobiles
get
rolling
and
now
they're
a
little
slow
behind
because
of
different
things.
Like
the
you
know,
things
that
come
in
from
china
that
they
don't
have
or
whatever,
yes,
sir.
G
G
D
You
see
anything
else,
mr
thank
you
for
your
report.
I'm
just
going
to
say
a
few
things
very
quickly:
the
majority
of
people
I
talk
to
the
basics.
They
want
to
feel
safe
in
their
home.
They
want
to
have
fire
and
police,
they
want
their
solid
waste,
taken
away
liquid
waste
taken
away.
They
want
fresh,
clean
drinking
water
and
what
good
roads,
well-lit
roads.
D
D
C
Chairman
one
person-
please
please
you
don't
mind
chief
tripp,
did
you
come
to
the
podium
since
we
were
talking
about?
You
know
public
safety
and
fire.
You
know
I've
been.
I
was
first
year
advocate
about
the
fire
department
making
sure
we
had
the
necessary
needs,
a
person
who's
been
in
public
safety.
C
C
I've
talked
about
looking
at
when
these
new
buildings
are
going
up,
trying
to
find
a
partnership
to
where
we
can
maybe
get
rescue
car
cars
in
there,
because
that's
the
bulk
of
our
calls.
I
believe-
and
I
hear
a
lot
about
fire.
I
support
fire
tremendously
and
I
know
the
needs
they
have,
but
I
know
we
got
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
money
and
making
sure
we
also
have
the
personnel
to
feel
it.
So
I
just
want,
if
you
could
just
say
how
you
look
going
forward,
how
you?
C
How
are
you
going
to
manage
that
reference,
a
big
fire
station
versus
maybe
a
small
rescue
car
or
some
of
the
newer
places?
I've
been,
have
a
combined
small
engine
with
a
rescue
in
it.
You
know
to
save
the
city
money
and
also
give
good
quality
service
to
the
citizens.
I
think
that's
the
point.
I
hear
the
people
of
mumbling
government
back,
but
we
have
to
explain
to
people
what
we're
talking
about
so
you're
the
perfect
person
to
explain
to
the
public
in
this
council.
Your
vision,
if
you
would.
Q
We
do
have
some
concerns
and
when
it
comes
to
being
fire
stations
when
we
say
fire
stations,
it's
it's
not
so
much.
We
need
fire
stations.
90
000
calls.
Last
year,
80
000
was
medical
calls,
we
need
more
transport
units,
and
that
was
the
whole
purpose
of
opening
up
station
25..
So
station
25
we
have
two
additional
units
and
since
they
have
been
in
there
in
the
last
month,
it
has
shows
a
decrease
in
calls
to
station
13,
which
was
one
of
the
areas
that
we
wanted
to
help
out.
Q
So
once
again,
it's
going
to
take
time
and
as
far
as
me
reviewing
this
data
now
the
other
concern
which
council
member
vera
has
that's
up
in
new
tampa,
which
is
a
k-bar
ranch.
So
of
course
I've
been
running
some
data
on
I'm
just
saying
a
box
number.
So
I
have
like
you
say
you
have
to
explain
to
the
community,
so
we
talk
about
box
numbers.
We
we
have
a
distinguished
area
destination.
Q
Where
calls
come
in
so
k,
bar
ranch
is
known
as
262-63,
so
I
ran
numbers
for
a
whole
year
came
up
with
91
calls
for
a
whole
year
that
averaged
out
to
like
five
calls
a
month.
So
when
we
talk
about
call
volume,
the
volume
is
not
there,
but
the
response
time
is
there.
So
what
I'm
looking
at
now
is
to
see
how
we
can
put,
when
I
say,
a
response
unit
which
would
be
a
als
unit
that
would
be
placed
up
in
the
area
to
decrease
the
response.
Time
now.
Q
Do
I
need
to
put
a
10
million
dollar
fire
station
there
now
to
be
honest
with
you?
No,
because
it's
not
going
to
serve
the
purpose,
but
we
do
need
to
have
some
sort
of
response
unit
there.
So
I
am
working
with
administration
here
to
put
a
unit
up.
There
put
a
facility
up
there
to
decrease
that
time
and,
as
time
goes
because
north
tampa
is
growing
and
we
definitely
need
to
be
prepared
for
the
future.
Are
we
going
to
need
a
station
up
there
here
soon?
I
mean
not
soon,
but
in
the
future.
Q
Yes,
we
will,
because
north
temp
is
definitely
growing.
So
when
we
talk
about
downtown
tampa
same
thing,
we
are
running
calls
now
we
know
the
city
of
tampa
downtown
is
congested.
So
what
I'm
looking
to
do
is
to
add
some
additional
units
to
the
current
station
and
then
continue
with
the
partnership
which
I
have
been
and
talk
with
spp
for
to
see
what
buildings
are
going
up
to
see
if
they
can
assist
us
once
again,
we
need
transport
units.
Q
So
from
I,
when
I
say
the
10
calls
that
we
do
run,
that's
include
could
be
false
alarms.
You
know
traffic
accident
fire
calls
the
combination
of
it.
We're
not
neglected
them,
but
I
think
we
need
to
serve
the
community
with
the
majority
of
what
their
need
us
and
that
comes
with
the
transport
units.
So
with
that
being
said,
one
of
my
goal
is
to
continue
with
our
data,
because
we
had
to
make
a
lot
of
different
adjustments
when
it
comes
to
staffing,
how
we
staff
our
units,
how
we
staff
our
personnel.
Q
So
as
I'm
making
those
adjustments,
I'm
beginning
to
see
that
we
have
the
infrastructure
of
some
stations
already
that
don't
have
a
transport
unit.
You
know
so
I'm
working
with
administration
as
well
to
try
to
get
those
transport
units
in
those
stations
which
is
going
to
help
out
with
the
call
volume
when
it
comes
to
medical
calls.
C
Q
Q
H
Please
go
right
ahead.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
That
was
a
great
I've
only
really
heard
you
speak
once
before
on
your
plan,
and
you
were
new.
That
was
a
fantastic
summary
of
your
strategy
and
I
just
want
to
compliment
you
on
that
look
forward
to
hearing
more.
Thank
you.
D
Chief
tripp,
thank
you
very
much
to
my
point.
We
can
have
all
the
units
we
want.
We
can
have
all
the
fire
stations
we
want,
but
if
we
don't
have
the
staffing
to
operate
those
sort
of
things,
my
point
was
the
staffing
is
needed
and
I'm
hoping
that
we're
more
going
to
get
more
staffing
through
attrition
through
a
retirement.
D
Are
we
keeping
the
same
level?
Are
we
expanding
more?
The
city
is
growing.
We
need
more
staffing
and
fire.
We
need
more
staffing
and
police
inspections.
We
also
need
more
staffing
and
permitting
and
code
enforcement.
If
we're
going
to
have
our
basic
necessities
meet
the
demands,
we
need
more
staffing.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
Q
Can
I
just
say
one
thing?
Yes,
so
when
you
talk
about
staffing,
we're
in
the
current
process,
we
just
hired
15
new
firefighters
today,
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
interviewing
as
well
and
we
will
have
another
group
that
will
be
coming
on.
D
Q
D
D
Thank
you,
councilman
goode.
We
are
now.
D
R
Hey,
mr
chairman,
my
name
is
robert
pete
edwards.
I've
tried
to
nail
this
down
to
three
and
a
half
minutes.
I
hope
I
can
get
it
under
there.
What
I
want
to
talk
about
is
the
parks
and
rec
budget
folks,
I've
been
monitoring,
parks
and
recreations,
and
only
mr
miranda
probably
have
more
knowledge
of
it
than
I
do
in
this
whole
place
today,
since
they
put
copeland
park
and
then
they
had
to
work
out
something
to
get
the
original
riverfront
part
throughout
these
whole
years,
and
particularly
the
last
19
years,
I've
looked
at
the
budget.
R
The
promises,
the
change
of
designs,
the
n
equal
in
the
funding,
and
all
of
that
we
need
to
do
anot
a
different
approach.
When
the
officer
came
up
and
showed
about
the
capital
improvements
this
year
once
again,
roulette
park
is
left
out.
If
you
all
remember
when
highland
pi
holland
lopez
park
was
transferred
to
to
holland,
whatever
that
part
was
our
lopez
park,
we
asked
for
additions
at
rolex
park.
It's
a
blue
collar
neighborhood,
it's
well
diverse,
but
we
can't
get
any
help.
R
When
I
look
at
the
budget
for
the
last
19
years,
there
have
been
false
hopes,
false
promises,
unequal
spending
even
on
lipstick,
on
a
pig
approach
and
I'm
talking
about
the
whole
tampa
area,
whether
you
go
up
to
forest
hill,
which
is
an
oral
area,
whether
you
go
to
temple
crest
when
you
go
to
lincoln
garden,
so
we
have
to
come
to
a
conclusion
that
this
amount
up
to
68
million
is
not
enough.
Why
is
it
not
enough?
Because
they
changed
things
so
much?
R
They
could
have
gotten
designs
from
other
parks
and
all
that
make
it
different.
I'm
asking
the
council
today,
because
the
people
white,
black
and
all
think
the
council
is
more
into
funding
a
ballpark,
a
new
baseball
team
than
what
we
need
with
parks
and
rec.
We
got
kids
all
over
the
place.
We've
never
had
a
concrete,
a
complete
work
through
with
schools,
private
industry,
anybody
else
to
get
all
of
the
fields
like
cascadia
like
north
tampa.
Why
can't
they
be
diverse
fields
like
the
high
schools
are
getting
all
over
the
place?
R
I
think
what
we
really
need
to
do
to
get
the
honesty
back.
In
that
part,
because
it's
been
discombobulated
for
a
long
time,
I
mean
a
long
time.
We
need
to
come
up
with
a
bonding
issue,
because
by
the
time
the
mayor
is
out
of
office
in
2027
we
went
on.
If
you
look
at
it
and
look
at
the
previous
projection,
we
will
only
complete
30
percent
of
what
we
need
to
complete.
R
R
R
Please
take
care,
I
appreciate
it,
but
we
got
to
do
something
and
just
tell
the
people
if
you're
not
interested
in
the
bond
issue,
cut
it
to
the
cut
it
dry
right
now
and
say:
hey,
we
don't
want
to
do
it,
but
I'm
telling
it's
an
embarrassment
when
we
got
to
leave
the
city
because
and
charlie
knows
he
knows
ray
park,
lincoln
garden
a
whole
bit-
it's
embarrassing.
I
just
want
to
lay
it
out
there.
That's
it!
Thank
you.
A
Good
evening
council,
my
name
is
stephanie
poynter.
I
have
a
couple
things
that
I
want
to
talk
about
number
one,
I'm
only
a
page
556
out
of
the
1004
pages,
because
I
have
spent
half
my
life
reading
the
city
council
agenda.
Last
week
we
had
four
16.5
million
dollars
requested
in
the
first
eight
items
and
it
took
me
a
long
time
to
get
through
them.
A
I
really
appreciate
councilwoman
hertac
asking
for
that
one
pager,
so
that
we
can
look
at
those
and
decide
whether
we
want
to
get
a
little
deeper,
but
I
I
do
have
5.5
million
dollars
for
y'all
out
of
this
budget,
because
last
week,
when
we
had
the
budget
meeting
two
weeks
ago,
I
asked
mr
perry.
Why
are
we
giving
5.5
million
dollars
of
arpa
money
to
solid
waste
and
he
said
to
control
our
waste
bill?
Well,
here's
my
question
for
you:
they
came
to
us
last
week.
A
They
came
to
city
council
last
week
and
asked
for
220
million
dollars
for
a
new
incineration
plan.
You
guys
do
the
math.
I
think
that
5.5
needs
to
come
out
of
the
that
fund
and
come
back
to
housing.
Sorry,
that's
how
I
feel
I
would
like
for
you
also
to
note.
A
I
want
to
oh
that
400
000,
that
you
asked
about
miss
hurto
that
was
paid
to
a
consultant,
but
they
didn't
like
what
the
consultant
told
them.
So
the
consultant's
getting
fired
and
they're
gonna
ask
for
more
money.
Please
do
not
let
them
put
this
pure
crap
off
sidewalks.
Miss
philly,
told
us
last
thursday
that
there's
a
whole
lot
more
builders
building
sidewalks.
A
So
that's
a
good
thing,
we're
actually
getting
more
sidewalks,
because
you
guys
close
that
loophole
all
neighborhoods
when
they
get
a
good
neighbor
notice
need
to
respond
and
make
sure
that
the
builders
are
building
side
halls.
Ask
for
it
to
be
in
those
plans
and
then
pipes
project.
A
Let's
take
that
pure
money
and
put
it
in
the
pipes
projects.
We
do
not
want
to
be
like
jackson
mississippi
it's
time
to
get
on
it.
And
last
but
not
least,
let's
talk
about
y'all's
money.
Can
I
get
that
elmo
on?
Please.
A
A
I
want
the
folks
who
sit
out
here
who
are
here
on
their
own
time
in
their
own
dime,
to
be
able
to
run
and
still
pay
their
mortgage,
so
that
budget
increase
for
city
council
has
nothing
to
do
with
y'all.
It
has
to
do
with
the
future
of
our
city.
Thank
you.
Very
much.
Y'all
have
a
good
day
for
the
second
time
today,.
S
This
is
not
tampa
florida.
We
do
need
more
police
officers.
We
need
one
police
officer
for
every
white
person
in
the
city
period.
The
people
that
run
this
city
of
tampa
aren't
here.
The
people
that
run
the
city
of
tampa
aren't
in
government.
The
people
that
run
the
city
of
tampa
are
somewhere
in
the
corporate
office
watching
their
profit
sheets
and
investments
they
have
in
the
city
and
how
those
investments
can
grow.
Based
on
social
stability,
capitalists
run
the
city
of
tampa.
Private
investors
run
the
city
of
tampa.
S
S
For
naacp
and
juneteenth
and
stupidness
555
million
dollars
out
there
for
black
people,
and
they
talk
about
ignorance,
the
city
council,
people
that
sit
here
have
very
little
to
do
with
the
city,
budget
or
city
planning
they're.
Just
here
as
figureheads
to
maintain
social
stability
and
status
quo.
They're
here
to
maintain
order
for
imperialism
and
capitalism,
all
cities
internationally
and
are
automatic
cities
run
themselves,
states
run
themselves,
countries
run
themselves
and
when
they
can't
run
themselves
with
installed
elected
officials,
capitalism
replaces
them
with
other
puppets
and
talking
heads.
Poland
is
the
perfect
example.
S
Ukraine
is
another
good
example:
examples
all
throughout
south
america,
africa,
asia
and
other
places
and
poland.
The
imperialist
bosses,
took
the
head
of
a
trade
union
and
made
him
the
head
of
a
country
that
was
turning
anti-socialist
in
ukraine.
Capitalism
took
a
comedian
and
made
him
the
talking
head
for
imperialism.
S
City,
county
state
and
national
leaders
are
basic
clowns
that
come
packaged
in
a
range
of
wrappings.
This
city,
council,
or
the
mayor
of
tampa
have
nothing
to
do
with
this
budget.
One
billion
dollars
in
black
people
to
26
of
the
population.
We
should
be
getting
about.
555
million
dollars
out
of
the
deal
one
billion
dollars
in
people
that
are
facing
a
housing
crisis
only
get
five
million
dollars.
Meanwhile,
the
police
department
18
pay
increase
that
they
didn't
even
ask
for
the
people
have
to
organize
in
a
different
manner.
S
S
Good
evening
my
name
is
kela
mccaskill.
I'm
not
sure
if
today
is
when
you
have
to
vote
on
this
budget.
But
what
I
know
is
that
technically
you
all
control
the
budget
city
council
does.
So
I'm
asking
I'm
gonna
start
out
saying
I'm
asking
that
you
don't
adopt
it.
If
you're
honest
you,
hadn't
read
those
1100
pages
or
a
thousand
plus
pages
either
not
as
intended.
You
would
if
it
was
your
money.
So
as
a
you
know,
taxpayer
as
a
citizen
as
as
a
constituent
here,
I
just
believe
that
the
answer
should
be
no.
S
You
raised
some
very
important
questions,
some
critical
questions
on
that
budget
and
they
weren't
prepared
to
answer
them.
We've
been
through
a
lot
as
citizens
we've
been
through
covet
monkey,
pox
inflation,
housing
crisis.
We
had
a
mayor
that
you
know
oops
their
way
out
of
a
hannah
project
over
100
million
dollars.
Then
they
came
and
attacked
our
most
active
city,
council
members
and
hadn't
apologized.
Yet
they
you
know
so
much
has
happened.
Just
went
on
an
all-out
witch
hunt
under
you
know,
department
of
justice
investigation.
All
that.
S
Can
you
see
why
we
don't
really
trust
the
information
that
came
before
us
as
a
budget?
I
don't
trust
those
numbers,
because
if
you
oops
your
way
out
of
a
100
million
dollar
hannah
project,
you'll
oops
your
way
into
a
budget
to
get
what
you
want
to
fit.
Who
you
want?
I
mean
on
some
projects,
you
know
the
the
crew's
family
benefit
twice
the
brother,
the
son,
whoever,
but
I
don't
trust,
we
don't
trust
the
administration.
So
I'm
asking
you
to
take
some
time
to
review
that
budget
and
make
sure
you're
comfortable
with
the
allocations.
S
The
way
it's
allocated
make
them
come
back
answer
those
specific
questions
you
had
you
know
for
housing.
I
just
don't
see
the
urgency
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
crisis
but
administration
coming
up
to
city
council.
We
need
you
to
come
after
that.
Housing
crisis,
like
you
came
after
those
city,
council
members,
add
in
programs
or
whatever
the
need
to
help
meet
the
needs
of
the
people.
I
want
to
see
more
more
time
go,
but
I
want
you
to
delay.
I
want
you
to
say
no,
don't
say
yes
to
that
budget.
S
Make
them
come
back,
get
those
questions
answered
and
spend
the
time
to
to
take
a
look
at
it
and
make
sure
we
don't
want
pure.
We
we'll
look
like
mississippi
soon.
Pipes
is
the
major
concern
we
already
have
ample
supply
of
water
for
many
many
years
to
come.
Data
has
proven
that
we
don't
need
peer,
I'm
not
sure
who's
going
to
get
paid
or
who's
going
to
benefit
from
peer
review
it
or
accept
it,
but
we
don't
need
that
so
take
that
money
reallocate
it,
but
really
take
some
time.
S
You
all
take
the
time
you
control
the
wallet
you
take
some
time
and
make
sure
that
this
budget
represents
you
and
what
you
will
vote
for.
You've
taken
the
time
and
budgeted
as
if
it's
your
own
dollars
be
very
responsible
with
those
dollars
so
say
no
and
when
you're
comfortable,
then
let
them
come
back
and
present
a
budget.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
S
Good
evening
connie
burton
you
say,
trust
and
verify
trust
nothing.
Here
I
like
to
make
this
point
of
history
that
in
1963,
dr
king
said
that
the
negro
lived
on
a
on
a
lonely
island
that
was
full
of
poverty
in
the
midst
of
an
ocean
of
prosperity.
S
I
could
say
59
years
from
that
speech,
not
the
negroes,
but
people
that
live
within
east
tampa
in
the
city
of
tampa
find
themselves
living
within
a
poverty
community
that
has
been
identified
as
blighted
with
small
movements.
I
think
it's
shameful
that
the
only
thing
that
has
been
offered
on
that
budget
is
fair.
S
Oats,
fair
oats
is
something
that
if
this
was
your
once
in
a
lifetime
budget,
but
for
the
last
10
or
15
years,
more
we've
been
talking
about
fair
oats
moving
in
increments,
when
it
was
time
always
to
pull
the
trigger
for
fair
oats,
it
got
bumped
off,
and
what
did
we
have?
We
had
mercenaries
for
the
city
that
would
always
come
to
the
podium
and
tell
us
it
was
coming
nothing.
It's
the
same
old
script
that
it's
being
rehearsed
again
who's
benefiting.
So
this
city
has
a
lot
of
money.
S
A
lot
of
projects
and
we're
hearing
about
apprenticeship,
programs
and
we're
hoping
that
it
does
happen,
but
you
have
diversity,
minority
departments
right
now
that
can
ensure
that
african
people
are
employable.
It's
not
happening.
How
do
you
hold
up
and
allow
a
hannah
street
project
to
move
forward?
And
you
just
put
a
sheet
of
paper
over
it
and
say
it's
okay?
S
S
S
We
need
to
have
stabilization
inside
of
our
community.
Everybody
deserve
to
have
a
decent
house,
we're
not
talking
about
what
they
got
on
bay
shore,
your
creative
and
thought,
modular,
tiny,
home
container,
home
10
pan
home.
We
need
to
have
some
sense
of
stability
in
our
community
that
can
provide
dignity.
We
have
too
many
families,
that's
living
in
cars,
while
you
all
don't
have
to
suffer
like
that.
S
D
T
T
We
are
a
video
production
facility
that
trains,
individuals
and
non-profits
in
everything
video
from
television
to
the
internet.
I
am
speaking
to
you
tonight
to
ask
for
your
help.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
the
city
council
was
able
to
get
us
back
in
the
budget
for
108
thousand
dollars
a
year,
and
that
has
been
tremendously
helpful
very
much
appreciated
as
it
helped
us
keep
our
head
above
water.
However,
the
past
few
months
have
been
quite
challenging
in
more
than
one
way
and
we
are
finding
that
we
are
in
desperate
need
of
more
funding.
T
Third,
and
on
a
more
positive
note,
the
need
for
our
services
has
increased
as
the
video
production
industry
is
growing
exponentially
fast
in
the
tampa
bay
area
and
residents
and
organizations
are
seeking
our
training
to
help
fill
jobs.
As
you
all
may
know,
we
have
a
new
large
commercial
video
production
studio
here
in
tampa
known
as
the
view
they
are
one
of
only
three
led
volume:
video
production
studios.
T
I'm
sorry
only
three
of
really
production
studios
in
the
world
and
they
are
growing
fast
and
have
made
a
huge
impact
in
the
video
industry
and
tampa,
and
they
are
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
why
jobs
are
opening
up.
What
does
that
mean
for
us?
Well,
the
community
needs
us
to
help
fill
these
positions
and
the
best
way
to
fill
these
positions
are
with
our
own
citizens,
so
they
don't
need
to
outsource.
T
In
other
words,
we
are
vital
to
the
workforce
community
in
tampa,
because
nowhere
else
can
residents
go
to
get
free
training
from
a
real
television
and
video
production
facility.
That
is
already
collaborating
with
the
view
and
many
other
production
facilities
and
is
in
the
center
of
the
fastest
growing
of
a
fast-growing
tech
hub
in
tampa
bay.
Furthermore,
we
have
partnered
with
career
source,
tampa
bay,
where
we
refer
our
students
to
get
the
extra
help
that
they
need
to
develop
their
careers.
T
We
take
our
students
from
a
to
z.
We
are
it
and
we
are
needed,
and
why
do
we
need
more
funding?
We
need
more
funding
to
be
able
to
train
more
residents,
hire
more
instructors,
buy
newer
equipment
to
train
them
sufficiently
and
we
need
more
funding
to
offset
the
cost
of
having
to
pay
rent
and
utilities
which
we
did
not
have
to
pay
before.
T
A
Hi,
my
name
is
dora
taylor
and
I'm
director
of
operations
for
tampa
bay
community
network.
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
speak
for
our
nonprofit.
Here
are
some
statistics
that
you
might
find
of
value?
53
percent
of
our
student
students
reside
in
the
city
of
tampa.
59
of
our
students
are
minorities.
42
percent
of
our
students
are
women.
10
of
our
students
are
veterans.
We
have
had
346
classes
since
january
and
had
426
student
training
so
far
this
year
and
that
number
continues
to
grow.
We
would
love
for
you.
A
Q
My
name
is
lauren
santana
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
tampa
bay
community
network,
I
would
like
to
share
my
little
story:
real
quick
with
you
guys
as
I
I
am
one
of
the
students
of
the
school.
I
have
five
more
classes
for
my
graduation
and
I'm
very
happy,
I'm
here
also
as
a
citizen
and
as
a
business
owner
in
latina,
I'm
representing
our
community,
if
you
guys,
can
help
this
non-profit.
That
is
helping
a
lot
of
people.
Q
Q
My
grandmother
loves
her
company
in
2017
and
I
end
up
leaving
at
metropolitan
ministries
with
my
son,
no
family,
I'm
sorry,
no
family
in
the
city
of
tampa,
not
knowing
anybody,
but
thank
god-
and
you
know,
thanks
to
this
non-profit,
I
was
living
there
for
eight
months
and
I
was
able
to
get
back
on
track
now.
I
became
a
real
estate
agent
and
I'm
also
a
business
owner,
and
I
also
come
from
a
journalistic
family.
Q
So
I
found
the
local
tv
station
here
in
tampa
and
they
provide
me
with
the
classes
and
now
I'm
able
not
only
to
run
my
own
tv
production
company,
but
now
I
need
more
people
that
I
can
hire.
So
they
can
help
me
with
this
new
project
that
I
have
for
the
city
of
tampa,
because
I
am
promoting
a
lot
of
tourists
and
I'm
working
with
a
lot
of
different
restaurants
here
in
tampa,
and
we
need
to.
Q
I
need
actually
to
hire
people
that
can
help
me
with
the
video
production
with
the
cameras
that
know
how
to
do
all
of
this.
So
if
you
guys
can
help
them
as
much
as
you
can,
you
guys
will
be
making
a
difference,
giving
people
the
opportunity
to
go
to
school
when
they
don't
have.
You
know
idea
what
to
do
or
any
money
to
pay
for
it.
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
hope
you
guys
have
a
beautiful
night.
Thank
you.
I
Hello,
noah
myers
tempe
community
action
committee.
I
just
want
to
start
this
off
by
saying
in
declaring
that
history
belongs
to
the
people
today,
whether
you
know
it
or
not.
It's
a
historic
moment.
I
Speaking
to
the
budget,
whether
or
not
you
should
accept
it
or
decline
it
or
increase
housing,
the
housing
budget
and
the
choice
is
in
obvious.
You
should
be
increasing
the
housing
budget,
100
million
sounds
nice,
but
that's
obviously
not
enough.
We
need
rent
stabilization.
We
need
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
the
landlords
are
not
able
to
effectively
take
people
out
of
their
homes
and
cause
them
the
great
grief
of
homelessness.
The
great
blight
of
this
country
I
mean
we
go
other
places
around
the
world.
I
I
I
don't
like
that,
and
I
don't
think
anybody
does
I.
I
have
to
say
that
we
need
to
move
to
a
future
where
these
people
are
not
causing
mass
harm.
We
need
to
move
to
a
city
that
is
better
than
what
it
is
now
and
you
guys
have
the
opportunity
to
stop
that
trajectory
and
to
create
a
better
community
where
people
feel
loved
and
secure
in
their
houses.
I
mean
I
don't
understand
who
doesn't
want
to
live
in
that
world.
A
A
And
like
doing
he
he's
in
our
face,
y'all
have
already
funded
racist
housing
programs.
Y'all
got
in
the
city,
got
in
trouble
for
funding
that
bs
crime-free
housing
program
which
targeted
90
black
families
and
that
was
carried
out
by
the
police.
Who
do
you
think
was
evicting
people,
the
police
telling
the
landlords
they're
not
on
our
side.
We
need
actual
non-racist.
A
A
Okay,
so
y'all
need
to
stop
this
racist
nonsense.
You
all
need
to
stop
letting
racist
police
on
this
task
force.
Get
an
18
increase,
that's
not
what
we
want.
We
want
secure
housing.
We
want
safe
housing.
We
want
people
like
dominic
mulkey
to
not
be
murdered
because
of
food
insecurity.
Guess
what
causes
food
insecurity,
housing,
insecurity?
A
R
Hello
good
afternoon
say
it
back:
please
all
right
guess
not
cool
hi.
My
name
is
david
jones,
I'm
a
member
of
tvcac
just
talking
a
bit
about
the
budget,
particularly
the
housing
part
of
it.
At
this
meeting,
y'all
said
that
the
housing
budget,
just
housing,
is
getting
5.5
million
from
the
general
funds,
and
you
know
we
are
seeing
that
that's
not
enough.
R
We
saw
this
earlier
this
year
when
y'all
added
what
four
million
dollars
to
the
rmap
program
and
then
that
program
had
to
go
back
on
pause
after
a
week
because
of
the
shared
volume
of
people
applying
for
it,
which
means
that
you
know
clearly
that
four
point
of
that
four
million
dollars
isn't
enough.
So
that's
you
know,
there's
a
clear
problem
there
and
there
was
talks
earlier
this
meeting
about
the
money
that
the
city
has
been
saving
every
year.
R
That
rainy
day
fund,
I
think,
is
what
you
called
it.
You
know
what
last
month,
y'all
declared
a
housing
state
of
emergency
since
that
emergency
there
hasn't
been
any
action
to
improve
said
emergency
after
just
that
next
meeting,
y'all
five
of
y'all
voted
against
the
rent
control
thing.
So
it's
like,
why
call
it
an
emergency
and
then
not
act
on
that
emergency?
Why
call
it
an
emergency
and
why
not
fix
it?
You
know
when
I
see
a
fire,
I
put
it
out.
R
So,
like
you
know
whether
it
be
from
like
the
general
fund
pulling
that
money
out
of
that
rainy
day
fund,
because
you
know
the
writing's
on
the
wall
that
bubble's
going
to
collapse
and
there's
going
to
continue
being
more
and
more
people
put
out
on
the
streets.
You
know
more
money
has
to
go
into
that
housing
project,
and
you
know
this
was
seen
more
so
just
by
the
way
that
the
money
was
split
from
the
funds
in
the
general
fund.
R
Where
we
see,
I
believe
she
said,
a
million
dollars
going
to
fixing
the
homeless
homelessness
issue,
which
you
know
if
you
walk
outside
right
here,
downtown
right
outside
of
city
council.
You
can
see
it
everywhere
until
y'all
move
those
people
out
of
here
when
the
city
has
the
events
super
bowls
hockey
games.
R
All
that
other
nonsense,
we're
seeing
that
with
the
rmap
program,
which
a
million
dollars
is
getting
aid
up
like
like
just
like
that,
we're
seeing
that
with
these
programs
with
the
down
payment
assistance,
where
the
vast
majority
of
folks
cannot
qualify
for
that
primarily
working
class,
black
and
brown
folks
and
we're
also
at
the
same
time,
what
we're
seeing
housing
being
getting
absolutely
low
funds
like
y'all,
were
talking
about
we're
cool
we're
not
seeing
the
yeah.
R
Excuse
me
we're
not
seeing
water
filtration
systems
are
being
funded
as
well
as
they
need
to
be
we're
not
seeing
sidewalks
in
a
lot
of
working-class,
black
and
brown
neighborhoods
we're
seeing
potholes
pop
up
all
over
the
size,
potholes
big
as
me,
and
that's
a
problem,
but
at
the
same
time
we're
seeing
200
million
dollars
go
to
the
police
with
them
getting
an
18
raise
this
last
year.
R
You
know
money
always
seems
to
pop
up
for
the
cops,
especially
when
they're,
especially
when
they're
not
doing
what
they
need
to
be
doing,
and
you
know
that's
a
problem
like
truly
who
is
to
be
served.
Thank
you.
R
R
My
name's
bill
amen,
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
tampa
bay
community
action
committee.
I'll
keep
my
comments
short,
but
I
just
want
to
say
the
housing
crisis
should
be
the
council's
number
one
concern
everyone
I
talked
to
who
rents
is
being
affected.
By
this
I
mean
literally,
everyone
that
I
talk
to
who
rents
is
seeing
historic.
Rent
increases
right,
ridiculous
increases
in
rent
across
the
board.
People
are
being
threatened
with
eviction
which
will
upend
their
lives.
R
Their
livelihoods
they'll
be
put
out
on
the
streets
because
they
can't
afford
rent
landlords
are
price.
Gouging
residents
slum
lords
are
making
off
like
bandits,
while
poor
and
working
people
are
struggling
to
stay
in
their
homes.
Now,
why
is
this
not
a
concern?
Why
are
we
only
seeing
six
million
dollars
to
the
budget
for
housing?
It's
because
these
people
are
working.
People
they're,
not
rich,
they're,
not
powerful
right.
R
You
count
on
them
when
it
comes
to
to
their
votes,
but
as
far
as
funding
and
everything,
it's
not
a
concern
to
you
right,
but
again
I'll
keep.
It
short
like
connie
burton-
and
everyone
else
has
said
so
far.
The
six
million
dollars
is
simply
not
enough,
and
I
think
we
need
to
see
more
money.
That's
actually
going
to
affordable
housing
to
help
people
you
know,
maintain
their
their
livelihoods
and
not
be
put
out
on
the
streets.
Thank
you.
O
Hi,
my
name
is
simon
rowe,
I'm
sure
you
know
where,
where
I'm
from
what
a
surprise
also
here
to
talk
about
funding
for
housing
here
in
the
city
of
tampa.
O
If
you
look
at
that
chart,
it
can
help
an
estimated
5,
000
households
total
the
average
household
is
about
two
and
a
half
people.
Even
if
you
round
that
up
to
three
that's
what
we
even
assumed
that
would
help
15
000
people,
which
is
generous,
it
might
not
even
be
able
to
if
we
stretch
that
funding
that
could
only
help
not
even
five
percent
of
the
amount
of
people
here
in
tampa,
but
so
many
of
us
are
rent
burdened.
O
I
technically
am
rent
burden
because
I
spend
about
30
percent
of
my
income
on
rent
and
I'm
one
of
the
lucky
ones,
I'm
very
lucky
to
pay
400
a
month,
even
with
my
rent
increase.
It's
not
great
here
in
the
city
of
tampa.
More
and
more
people
are
going
to
be
affected
by
this
and
we're
just
not
seeing
anything.
O
I'm
sick
of
coming
to
these
meetings
for
almost
a
year
seen
so
many
people
affected
by
this
be
ignored,
proposed
solutions
like
a
tenant
advocacy
office
that
was
voted
down,
sick
of
seeing
suggestions
for
more
money
and
being
laughed
at
I'm
sick
of
seeing
I'm
still
thinking
about
like
in
february
when,
like
a
homeless
teenager
came
up
and
like
was
saying,
I
want
to
be
treated
like
a
person,
and
I
forget
who
it
was
said.
We
do
see
you
as
a
person,
but
where
is
the
action?
O
You
can't
just
say
words
and
not
like
put
the
action
behind
it
like
people
are
struggling,
the
struggle
is
going
to
continue
this
year,
even
without
the.
Even
if
we
don't
get
a
recession,
it's
just
going
to
get
worse
and
it's
frustrating.
I
get.
Why
people
don't
come
to
these
city
council
meetings,
it's
scary,
to
go
into
a
room
full
of
like
city,
people
and
police,
and
you
know
talk
about
like
you
know
the
problems
of
poverty.
O
O
O
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
taylor
cook
I
am
also
here
to
talk
about.
The
housing
budget
seems
pretty
unpopular
to
me.
Hopefully,
y'all
are
taking
that
into
consideration.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
kind
of
a
couple
things
one
with
the
housing
budget.
Like
everyone
else
has
said,
5
million
is
kind
of
a
slap
in
the
face
when
everybody's
rent
is
going
up.
When
I
see
more
and
more
people
homeless
every
day,
I
give
money
to
a
new
person
every
single
day
on
the
corner,
because
they
can't
afford
to
live.
O
What
do
what
are
we
giving
200
million
more
to
the
police
for?
Are
we
giving
it
to
allow
them
to
police
people
and
stop
black
people
on
their
bikes
like
they
did
in
the
past?
Are
we
giving
it
so
they
can
stop
them
for
playing
their
music
too
loud
or
maybe
we're
giving
it
so
they
can
hit
and
run
a
year.
Fifteen-Year-Old
kids,
like
an
hcso
officer,
did
a
few
years
ago
to
josiah
pinner
or
what
about
dominique
moki
like
mentioned
earlier?
O
O
I
Hello,
joseph
nahala
tbcac
we
at
tbcac
have
proposed
the
people's
budget
that
you
know
we
we
submitted
to
you
all
and
haven't
heard
back
yet,
but
it
allocates
more
money
for
housing
than
the
current
city
budget
does
total.
With
you
know,
state
federal
funds
included
that's
ridiculous
and
between
the
pitiful
amount
for
things
like
water
and
sidewalks
and
mobility
and
housing.
I
We
can
only
conclude
that
this
budget,
that
the
city's
submitted
is
an
anti-people's
budget,
as
stated
before,
200
million
dollars
for
cops
is
an
insult
right
when
tpd
has
been
found
when
tpd
has
been
guilty
of
so
many
crimes
like
the
murder
of
dominique
monkey,
like
the
murder
of
jonas
joseph
shot
out
125
times,
that's
deranged
all
right,
federal
investigations-
I
don't
know
where
you
all
come
from,
but
where
I'm
from
those
kinds
of
things
don't
warrant
a
raise
right,
those
things
weren't
punishment
in
a
campaign
to
beg
landlords
not
to
raise
their
rents.
I
I
mean
come
on.
Where
do
you
get
these
ideas
from
I?
I
really
want
to
know.
I
can't
fathom
it,
but
you
know
it
really
should
be
no
surprise.
That's
the
result
of
your
refusal
to
pass
any
kind
of
rent
control.
So
really
we
can't
be
shocked
and
and
to
be
clear,
you
know
the
additional
money
for
housing
is
a
stop
gap
right.
It's
not
really.
The
solution
because
ultimately,
all
it
is
is,
is
a
subsidy
for
landlords
which
they
can
apparently
refuse
right,
and
that
helps
nobody.
I
So,
ultimately,
the
solution
is
rent
control,
social
housing,
public
housing
right.
So
you
know
if
for
no
other
reason,
then
your
own
self-interest
right
do
something
do
more
than
what
you
have
talked
about
doing
tonight.
I
guess,
if
you
value
your
your
positions,
thank
you.
S
This
will
be
short
and
sweet.
I
got
a
lot
of
personal
things
going
on
and
I,
but
I
felt
the
need
to
come
and
talk
to
you
guys
about
the
budget.
I
think
five
million
dollars.
S
On
that,
I
think
that
more
money
should
be
because
the.
K
K
As
mr
carlson
indicated,
a
recession
is
coming,
we
have
to.

A
A
A
A
A
A
P
A
D
A
D
L
Thank
you,
john
bennett,
chief
of
staff.
If
I
can
be
supported
by
miss
travis
and
mr
rogerio,
I
want
to
put
something
from
listening
to
public
comment
on
the
floor
for
council's
consideration.
As
we
move
from
this
hearing
to
the
next
hearing.
It's
just
a
suggestion
and
we
are
in
a
housing
crisis.
L
This
has
come
up
before
just
tonight,
so
it's
a
lot
of
contemplation.
I've
talked
to
mr
rogero
about
it.
I've
talked
to
mr
rajira
about
it.
I
talked
to
miss
travis
and
miss
feely
about
it
and
listening
to
public
comment,
and
especially
the
feedback
from
ms
poynter
is
that
we
know
that
there's
5.5
million
dollars
in
arpa
sitting
in
solid
waste.
L
If
the
monies
that
have
been
allocated
for
housing
in
the
broad
scope
can
be
freed
up
from
the
efficiencies
in
the
rate
study.
The
question
I
posed
to
miss
travis
and
mr
ruggiero,
mr
ruggiero,
mr
washington,
is:
do
you
think
you
can
include
in
the
rate
study
a
methodology
that
would
absorb
that
money?
L
That's
earmarked
to
recover
the
rates
without
a
rate
increase
by
doing
a
business
efficiency
process
within
the
rate
study,
and
if
so,
we
could
put
a
pin
in
that
saying
that
anything
that
can
be
recovered
from
that
rate
study
would
go
to
housing
by
the
midterm
of
the
fiscal
year.
So
that's
kind
of
what
is
being
put
out.
Both
mr
ruggiero
miss
travis,
miss
feely
thought
that
that
was
viable.
I
also
talked
to
mr
rogero
so
again
just
putting
a
concept
out
there
in
the
first
hearing.
N
K
That's
correct,
so
you
have
10.2
million
dollars
of
new
ad
valorem
revenue
to
be
allocated,
and
so
on
thursday,
when
I
make
the
budget
presentation
in
front
of
council,
I'm
asking
you
to.
We
have
not
met
with
all
the
cacs
and
I
think
it's
a
disservice
to
the
your
volunteer
board
to
just
arbitrarily
just
assign
money
to
a
program
that
they
haven't
had
a
chance
to
discuss.
K
Mr
elise
drumgo
is
not
here
this
evening,
because
there
were
three
cra
meetings
this
evening
and
he
went
to
all
three
to
discuss
your
requests
of
affordable
housing
programs
that
30
percent
motion
that
was
made.
I
think
it
was
in
2020
or
2021
set
that
intent
and
to
reprogram
that
money.
So
I'm
asking
you
to
adopt
the
budget
as
presented
by
the
cac
on
september
20th
and
in
november.
K
I
will
come
back
to
you
once
we've
closed
out
the
current
fiscal
year
with
the
allocations
as
you've
requested
to
go
towards
funding
right
now,
there's
only
2.2
million
dollars.
That's
allocated
in
three
of
the
cra
three
of
the
hcre
districts.
N
So
we
have
the
opportunity
to
add
another
10
million
up
to
10
million
and
up
to
5.5
million
or,
as
you've
already
explained,
what
can
be
recovered
from
that,
and
this
is
something
that
you're
proposing
now
so
there's
a
potential
of
15
million
dollars
could
be,
10
could
be,
12
could
be,
nine
could
be
yes,
but
within
that
scope,
on
top
of
what
we've
discussed?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
H
Mr
bennett,
I
made
that
motion
cra
board,
which
is
also
city
council
three
years
ago
or
so
decided
to
put
30
percent
of
the
cra
money
in
affordable
housing.
H
I've
had
people
that
sit
on
the
cac's
call
me
this
week
and
say
this
is
the
first
time
they've
ever
heard
of
it
and
nicole
staff
person
has
been
going
around
to
these
meetings,
but
the
this,
although
the
cra,
is
a
separate
board.
We
outsource
the
staff
to
the
city
and
the
staff
that
the
city
assigned
us
never
told
anybody
about
it
apparently
and
also
never
allocated
the
money
and
never
spent
it.
H
L
You
housing,
councilman
carlson.
I
I
can't
speak
to
the
history
of
the
cra
budget
as
it
was
presented
and
adopted
for
over
those
three
years.
I'm
sure
that,
as
part
of
the
sierra
budget
going
forward,
we
could
look
at
a
historical
analysis
of
how
much
was
put
either
into
housing
or
preventing
homelessness
or
land
acquisition
or
anything
else.
But
I
think
the
time
for
those
is
when
that
cra
budget
is
proposed
is
to
make
the
argument
that
we
want
this
to.
L
L
F
H
So
it
was
108
million,
plus
71
million
interest,
and
I
don't
you
guys,
never
told
me
how
much
o
m
I
guessed-
40
million,
so
it's
probably
over
30
years,
220
million
plus
for
a
building,
and
I
said
why
can't
we
just
rent
from
floor
land
mall
or
something
like
that
and
use
the
rest
for
affordable
housing
or
some
other
purpose?
And
and
you
all,
I
asked
you
all
to
do
a
rent
study,
rent
comparison
study
and
you
all
didn't
do
it.
H
You
we
nev
you,
the
public
and
the
city
council,
never
heard
how
much
it
would
have
been
a
rent
instead
of
to
pay
for
this
really
expensive
building
when
the
building
across
the
street
tampa
city
center.
It's
a
lot
bigger
sold
for
about
the
same
amount
during
the
time
that
you
all
were
planning
this.
This
building
on
hannah
avenue
by
the
way
didn't
go
out
for
bid
despite
the
legal
department
helping
with
with
justification
for
it.
But
my
question
is:
that's
general
fund
money
we
220
million
dollars
over
30
years.
H
We
could
have
spent
that
on
affordable
housing,
but
it
the
point
that
I'm
making
mr
bennett
is
that
administration
doesn't
put
affordable
housing
as
a
as
as
a
priority.
H
What
you're
talking
about
is
jumping
through
a
lot
of
hoops
looking
at
rates
and
things
like
that,
but
really
a
few
minutes
ago,
we're
talking
about
cra
money,
that'll
be
two
or
two
and
a
half
times
what
the
what
the
administration's
putting
in
and
what
you
want
to
do
is
look
at
crumbs
when,
when
we've
been
hearing
for
more
than
three
years
that
affordable
housing
is
a
problem,
the
last
administration.
By
the
way.
H
Not
listening
to
the
budgets
that
we're
requesting
that
you
heard
the
public
tonight,
they
wouldn't
even
spend
the
staff
that
you
all
signed
wouldn't
spend
the
money
of
the
cra
budget
that
we
allocated
and
now
and
then
you
spend
220
million
dollars
plus
on
a
building,
that's
way
too
expensive
and
then
justified
and
fought
us
and
you're.
By
the
way
you
define
resiliency
very
broadly
but
you're,
a
resiliency
officer,
which
is
a
great
idea
to
hire.
H
Somebody
has
spent
most
of
his
time
in
the
last
six
months,
working
on
toilet
to
tap,
and
I
mean
what
I
won't
say
the
initials,
but
the
public
is
saying
all
people
in
the
public
are
saying
you
know
for
resiliency
we're
worried
about
flooding
in
south
tampa,
but
if
defining
it
the
way
you
all
do
we're
also
worried
about
people
being
homeless,
and
our
resiliency
officer
is
trying
to
justify
up
to
six
billion
dollar
project
that
nobody
in
the
public
wants.
H
And
now
you
guys
sent
us
an
email
today
we're
going
to
delay
it
again
until
february,
because
guess
what
the
election
is
in
march,
and
so
you
want
to
delay
it
until
after
that,
when
is
the
administration
going
to
take
affordable
housing
as
a
priority,
we've
been
asking,
we've
been
making
motions
over
and
over
again,
and
nobody
in
the
mayor's
office
is
doing
anything
about
it.
You're
asking
us
to
sit
back
and
wait
till
some
calculation
is
made
until
we
can
do
something
when
it.
When
are
you
all
going
to
step
up
and
do
something.
L
Can
I
respond
sure?
First,
I
recall
the
council
asked
us
not
to
rent
anymore.
That
was
one
of
the
things
that
was
asked
of
us
a
long
time
ago.
Again,
I'm
not
the
hannah
project
expert,
but
it's
my
understanding
that
we're
rolling
up
a
lot
of
other
facilities
that
we're
renting
that
are
going
to
phase
out
to
give
a
community
project
and
again
I'll.
L
Let
mr
rogerio
and
of
course,
the
community
engagement
team,
talk
more
about
that
if
necessary,
but
we
do
have
an
roi
slide
on
hannah
and,
of
course,
we're
trying
to
meet
those
demands.
Well
before
the
inflation
hit
us
as
well
as
the
housing
crisis.
I
don't
look
at
five
and
a
half
million
dollar
opportunity
as
crumbs.
L
H
Possible,
the
mayor
has
political
advisors
who
can
work
on
political
solutions
and
policy
analysis.
The
mayor
has
communication
department
that
can
work
on
rallying
the
public
and
to
bring
money
and
resources
to
solve
these
problems.
The
mayor
has
a
legal
department
that
can
work
on
lots
of
solutions
and
instead
of
working
on
affordable
housing,
the
administration
spent
the
last
eight
months
to
a
year
attacking
city
council
members,
and
now
we've
got
proof
of
it
that
that
the
mayor's
staff
texts
and
communicated
with
each
other
about
how
to
conspire
to
attack
city
council.
H
L
H
L
Asked
me
a
question:
I'd
like
to
respond
for
last
three
years
council,
we
have
worked
collaboratively
to
move
this
city
forward.
Everything
is
not
going
to
be
agreed
on
at
all
times
my
door
and
my
phone
has
been
on
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week
to
look
at
anything.
That's
been
asked
of
me
and
make
sure
that
it's
moving
in
the
right
direction,
and
I
think
everybody
would
agree
with
that.
So
it's
the
same
thing
going
forward.
L
D
G
Miranda,
let
me
let
me
say
this
years
back,
I'm
one
who
helped
start
the
clinics
in
tampa,
but
I
voted
against
my
own
suggestion
at
the
end.
Why?
Because
they
were
renting
two
buildings
at
7,
500,
each
or
15
000
a
month
times.
12
months
is
what
180
000
correct
times.
20
years,
which
has
been
20
years,
is
3.6
million.
That's
what
I'm
saying
you'll
never
get
that
back.
I
I'm
not
debating
anybody.
I'm
just
saying
that's
what
I
did.
The
problem
is.
H
Thank
you.
They
never
even
answered
the
question.
We
asked
the
question.
I
asked
the
question:
what's
it,
how
much
is
the
rent?
My
point
to
the
to
the
chief
of
staff
and
everyone
is:
let's
use
the
city
resources
instead
of
tagging
city
council.
We've
got
written
proof
of
it
by
the
way
we've
got
press
conferences
that
were
held.
It's
not
that
it
didn't
happen.
H
Let's
spend
city
resources,
let's
start
a
new
era
that
the
mayor
needs
to
call
an
end
to
the
attacks,
tell
her
staff
to
stop
her,
that
she's
going
to
fire
them
and
she
needs
to
apologize
the
public
and
city
council,
and
then
we
need
to
move
forward.
Getting
staff
focused
on
solving
these
problems.
Staff
should
not
be
sitting
around
texting
each
other
about
how
to
attack
city
council
members.
It's
ridiculous!
Look
at
what
the
public
says.
L
C
L
Yeah
great
question:
councilman
goods,
what
we're
suggesting
with
the
team
again,
the
housing,
solid
waste,
the
cfo
and
myself-
is
that
continue
with
the
recommended
budget,
with
the
5.5
million
in
arpa
in
the
solid
waste,
because
it
was
a
direct
enterprise
offset
to
make
sure
that
rates
didn't
increase.
Since
then,
there's
been
new
information,
that's
been
brought
to
council
about
the
business
unit
at
the
waste
energy
and
we
do
agree
with
the
efficiency
and
effectiveness
of
the
business
process
and
going
forward.
C
L
C
Well,
I
I
I
hear
mr
carlson
I'm
not
going
to
get
on
the
the
attack
stuff.
I've
already
said
my
piece
last
week
on
that,
so
I'm
not
going
to
get
I'm
going
to
hop
over
a
real
issue.
For
me,
and
everyone
knows
I
speak
truth
to
power
and
the
issue
we
have
right
now
is
housing.
C
That
should
be
our
primary
concern.
We,
you
know,
we
have
to
pay
our
employees
well
to
keep
good
people,
but
we
have
to
look
at
areas
that
we
can
cut
the
fat
to
deal
with
the
housing
situation.
I'm
just
going
to
put
out
there.
This
body
refuses
to
look
at
rent
stabilization,
as
one
means
it
probably
would
help
it's
not.
It
wouldn't
hurt
the
economy.
Okay,
what
nobody
says
one
year
of
trying
to
look
at
a
five
percent
would
not
have
hurt
no
economy
period.
I
don't
care.
C
I
know
I've
talked
to
other
people
that
that
ain't
no
one,
but
we
we
we
were
reluctant
to
do
it.
That's
why
the
public's
angry,
but
I
will
I
would
challenge
any
of
staff
here
to
go
by
walmart
tonight,
go
by
to
walmart's
and
see
how
many
families
are
in
the
walmart
parking
lots,
go
by
walmart
and
see
how
many
wall,
oh
at
the
wawa
or
walmart
in
those
parking,
lots
and
see
those
you'll
see
calvin
y'all
wasn't
going
to
talk.
C
C
So
for
me
the
focal
point
is:
where
can
we
find
money
for
housing?
I
know
it's
a
you
know
a
challenge,
but
we've
got
to
find
a
little
bit
more
money
for
housing
and
mr
miranda
said
it
best.
We
may
have
to
start
getting
into
the
housing
industry
in
the
budget.
The
general
fund.
It
may
need
to
be
a
spot
just
for
housing
for
the
future
going
forward
through.
Here,
I'm
probably
going
to
make
a
motion
about
this.
C
How
we
can
do
that
with
legal,
because
I
think
you
got
police,
you
got
fire,
you
got
you
even
get
public
service,
you
got
recreation
parks
and
rec.
There
needs
to
be
a
spot
in
that
pie.
Now
for
housing
going
forward.
That's
a
critical
challenge.
We
have
I'm
just
going
to
be
honest
with
you,
you
know,
and
and
and
again
looking
at
the
scale
of
how
our
city
is
going,
we're
a
bigger
place.
Now
we're
not
a
small
place.
Things
are
rising,
costs
are
increasing,
but
housing
has
have
to
be
a
part
of
the
pie.
C
Now,
because
I
don't
care
what
anybody
says,
employees
have
gotten
a
little
bit
of
a
little
bit
of
money,
but
I
guarantee
some
will
still
be
affected
in
november,
our
own
employees,
our
own
employees,
so
I'm
just
telling
staff
right
now,
you're
going
to
take
a
harder
fee.
We're
talking
about
a
if
win
or
howard
is
5.5
million.
You
have
that's
a
suggestion,
but
the
public
is
not
looking
for
a
suggestion,
they're
looking
to
say
that
got
done
to
add
on
to
the
pie
to
help
people.
C
M
I
have
a
question
for
miss
travis.
We
had
a
conversation
about
this
earlier.
I
believe
last
week,
the
days
just
run
together
about
how
much
is
left
over
in
the
rmap
fund.
Right
now.
K
That's
correct:
okay,
councilman
heartache
based
on
the
number
of
applications
that
we've
moved
through
based
on
the
award
because
we
pay
the
landlord
directly
on
a
monthly
basis.
We've
expended
1.2
million
dollars,
and
so
we
have
3.8
million
dollars
there
about
with
our
that
will
be
rolled
over
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
M
But
so
so
what
I
did
is
I
just
looked
at
the
general
fund,
which
is
approximately
550
million
dollars,
so
this
total
housing
fund
that
initially
came
on
this
worksheet
was
4.8
of
that
550
million
dollars,
which
we
all
agree
is
just
not
enough.
So
that's
why
you
came
forward
with
the
cra
plan,
which,
right
now,
you
said,
is
about
3.3
possible
million
that
we
could.
That
is
that
that's.
K
Yeah
so
right
now
the
cacs
have
allocated
about
2.2
million
dollars
and
on
thursday
there's
another
million
dollars
that
will
be
added
to
that
allocation
for.
M
Housing
and
then
so,
the
three
and
a
half
million
leftover,
plus
the
three
and
a
half
3.3
from
the
cra
plus
the
5.5
possible
from
solid
waste.
Oh,
I
don't
have
the
total,
but
either
way
we
went
from
4.8
to
before
the
solid
waste
inc
increase
would
be
6.4
and
now
we're
at
a
total
of
seven
percent
of
that
budget,
and
I
want
to
challenge
staff
to
make
that
10
percent.
M
I
I
don't
care
where
we
get
it
from
and-
and
this
is
why,
when
I
go
to
the
water-
and
I
find
that
1.1
million-
I
know
it's
allocated,
but
could
we
take
it?
Could
we
allocate
it
towards
something
else
in
water
so
that
we
can
free
up
water
money
that
could
possibly
come
back
to
the
general
fund?
What
else
can
we
do
folks
are
saying
they
don't
want,
pure,
that's
totally
fine.
M
We
can
come
back
to
pure,
just
like
we
say
we're
coming
back
to
this
solid
waste
money
if
if
they
don't
need
it,
if
we,
if
we
need
to
pull
it
out
another
time,
but
we
have
got
to
find.
M
M
It
needs
to
be
one
of
our
line
items,
because,
even
if
this
crisis
is
gone
or
when
this
crisis
abates
to
some
degree,
it's
the
rent's
still
not
going
to
go
down,
I
mean
and
right
now
we're
just
paying
landlords,
and
I
totally
understand
that's
a
stop
gap
measure
and
that's
what
we
have
to
do
right
now.
Totally
understand
not
asking
us
to
to.
You
know,
move
the
mountain
right
now,
but
we
have
to
see
the
mountain
moving.
M
We
have
to
see
the
ability
to
move
that
mountain
in
the
future
and
whether
that
means
putting
more
money
toward
I
mean
I
I
don't
know
government-funded
housing
again
like
what
what
do
we
do?
How
do
we
allow
our
citizens
to
live
here
safely
in
indignity,
because
your
story
about
the
walmart
just
reminded
me
of
when
I
was
a
title
and
elementary
school
teacher
and
we
had
showers
in
our
schools?
We
had.
We
had
washing
machines
because
our
kids
would
come
to
school
and
they
would.
M
We
would
keep
an
extra
set
of
clothes.
It
was
just
it's
so
hard,
it's
heartbreaking
and
we're
all
helping
where
we
can,
but
this
is
what
we
can
do.
We
need
to
find
this
extra
money
and
I
really
appreciate
chief
bennett
finding
this
5.5
million
from
solid
waste.
I'm
sorry
miss
poyner,
finding
it
and
chief
bennett
agreed
that
this
is
a
great
way
to
add
more
money
if
we
could
just
find
5.5
million
dollars
more
from
somewhere
else,
we're
at
10,
which
I
think
is.
I
understand
that
the
the
general
budget
isn't.
M
D
K
Thank
you
good
evening
again,
council
councilwoman
heartache.
I
I
believe
that
we
will
meet
that
10
percent.
Once
we
do
the
allocations
with
the
cra
budget
right
now,
the
3.2
million
dollars
is
just
based
on
what
the
cac's
allocated
west
tampa
had
their
cac
meeting
since
the
budget
workshop,
and
they
out
they
proactively
allocated
an
extra
million
dollars.
That's
on
your
agenda.
This
thursday,
elise,
is
texting
me
real
time
from
drew
park's
meeting.
K
K
Yes,
he
is,
and
so
I
believe
that
we
will
hit
that
10.
Once
we've
made
the
adjustments
with
our
cra
allocations.
I
just
if
I
may
make
a
couple
points:
councilman
carl
carlson.
You
talked
about
the
motion
that
you
made
in
october
of
2020
and
I
actually
worked
with
morris
and
got
the
exact
motion
so
that
I
understood
the
intent.
K
I
asked
also
asked
michelle
van
loan
to
provide
me
any
presentation
or
correspondence
that
she's
communicated
to
the
cra
board
and
she
provided
me
a
presentation
that
was
made
to
the
cra
board
and
action
was
not
taken,
so
I'm
just
going
to
push
back
a
little
bit
on
you
as
a
cra
board.
The
executive
director
or
the
director
of
the
cra
board
is
your
employee.
If
your
employee
is
not
performing,
you
need
to
do
a
performance
evaluation
and
hold
that
employee
accountable.
K
So
I'm
just
going
to
push
back
and
tell
you
that
if
I,
if
you're
not
an
employee,
is
not
performing
and
have
not
done
what
you've
asked
them
to
do,
the
onus
is
on
you
as
a
cra
board.
To
do
that.
Your
direction
was
very
clear
to
me.
I
have
a
lease
going
out
talking
to
the
crm
meetings.
We
have
communicated
that
there's
no
question.
When
I
read
the
met.
K
K
The
other
thing
is
like
we're
trying
not
to
recreate
the
wheel,
we're
trying
to
work,
smarter
and
not
harder
right,
and
so
some
cras
east
tampa
has
some
excellent
cra
programs
that
can
be
replicated
in
other
districts
and
so
we're
working
hard
on
doing
that
and
creating
efficiencies.
And
then
my
last
point
to
council:
I'm
excuse
the
councilman
bennett,
I'm
sorry
to
the
chief
of
staff
recommendation
on
the
5.5,
the
26.4
million
dollars,
plus
the
new
cra
money.
K
I
I
can
tell
you
that
today,
even
if
you
found
another
10.5
million
dollars,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
put
out
that
kind
of
money
before
your
mid-year
review
when
the
cfo
comes
back
to
you
mid-year,
so
you
taking
that
opportunity
to
do
the
rate
study,
see
what
efficiencies
I
won't
be
able
to
staff
up
that
quickly
and
have
the
money
out
that
quickly.
So
I
think
that
that's
a
very
methodical
approach
and
that
allows
us
to
staff
up
for
the
money
that
is
allocated
up
until
this
point.
H
You
you
talked
about
the
presentation
that
was
made
to
us
and
if
you
go
back
and
look
at
multiple
meetings,
we
reminded
staff-
and
I
won't
go
back
in
and
revisit
history,
but
we
reminded
staff
multiple
times
to
do
something.
The
good
news
is
that
for
us
and
the
public
is
that
you're
here
and
your
team
is
here
and
you've
only
been
on
a
short
amount
of
time
and
you're
do
making
a
lot
of
progress
in
a
short
period
of
time.
H
So
I
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
know
you're
in
earnest
trying
to
solve
these
problems.
The
one
thing
I
would
ask
is
that
cra
is
a
separate
organization
and
maybe
by
budget
we're
required
to
put
it
in,
but
that
shouldn't
count
toward
the
city's
10
or
whatever
it's
a.
It
is
a
separate
item
and
it's
easy
to
maybe
pull
cra
money.
H
It's
harder
to
use
the
sitting
money
and
find
other
solutions,
and
the
city
is
doing
a
better
job
than
three
years
ago
when
it
wasn't
a
priority,
but
but
we
have
so
much
catching
up
to
do.
We
need
to
spend
more
time
on
affordable
housing.
In
less
time
or
no
time
on
pure
and
less
time,
you
know
with
the
with
the
dirty
politics
that
I
talked
about
a
few
minutes
ago,
so
I'm
hopeful
that
that
more
people
will
take
the
attitude
that
you
have
and
that
we'll
get
this
solved
more
quickly.
Thank
you.
C
C
So
I
can
appreciate
my
boss.
They
can
tell
me
no,
that
that
doesn't
work
not
to
make
something,
but
that
doesn't
work.
That's
why
the
community
is
respecting
you
so
much
because
you're
telling
them
the
truth
of
what
they
really
want
to
hear
when
they
it's
not
right.
You
just
tell
them
you
don't
give
them.
C
C
You
told
me
you'd,
say
you're
going
to
do
something,
you
do
it,
you
don't
give
fluff!
You
know.
You
say
why
not
meet
with
the
mayor,
mr
bennett,
and
I'm
just
going
to
tell
them
the
honest
truth
about
us
and
that
and
you
come
back
and
you
give
it
to
us.
We
move
and
that's
all
the
citizens
in
this
council
could
ask
for
not
to
play
politics
just
do
what
needs
to
be
done.
C
You
know
you
come
in
with
your
people
hit
the
ground
running.
We
got
things
moving
any
cras
before
and
I'm
not
criticizing
people
before,
because
they
again
to
me
they
to
me
when
things
somewhere
that
move
like
that
they're
afraid
of
their
boss.
Okay,
nobody
says
they're
afraid
of
their
boss
or
they
have
an
agenda
to
wear.
They
want
to
make
sure
that
another
part
of
society
moving
because
they
feel
that
might
might
be
better
moved,
but
you
you're
working
a
balanced
approach
on
it
all.
I
can
appreciate
that.
C
C
I
I
think,
that's
what
we
need
to
look
at
where,
on
this
side,
can
we
get
close
to
get
matched
with
the
cra
to
get
us
to
the
goal
line?
It
ain't
gonna,
be
perfect.
It
ain't
gonna
be
a
bunch,
but
it
may
be
gonna
be
a
three-point
play,
but
people
are
looking
for
seven,
but
I
think
since
you're
here
now
and
mr
hero
and
I
saw
chief
ben
shake
his
head,
I
think
going
forward.
C
I
know
mr
morris
or
mr
mr
massey
goes
back
or
whatever,
but
look
at
how
we're
going
to
be
if
that
could
be
put
into
emotion
or
whatever
how
it
can
be
done,
but
I
think
the
housing
portion
of
the
pie
has
to
be
incorporated.
L
Just
a
little
closing
remark
to
everything.
That's
been
said
for
the
last
few
minutes.
We
are
grateful
for
miss
travis
and
her
team.
You
know
we
think
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction.
L
We
think
that
all
of
the
energy
needs
to
go
to
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
tonight,
but
the
one
thing
that
I
can
tell
you
after
the
last
20
years
that
I've
seen
in
local
government
in
this
city
is
that
we
continue
to
adopt
new
levels
of
service
that
we
have
never
been
asked
to
do
before
and
to
councilman
good's
point
of
view.
Council
miranda's
point
of
view,
and
generally
all
of
your
point
of
view
is
as
we
move
into
these
new
levels
of
service.
L
The
public
needs
to
understand
that
this
is
the
way
our
city
needs
to
operate,
whether
it's
public
safety,
housing
parks
and
rec.
So
whatever
the
experience
and
expectation
gap
is
that
we
want
to
close,
we
have
to
work
together
20
years
ago.
We
got
hit
with
about
four
storms
in
one
year
and
we
realized
that
we
needed
to
create
a
new
level
of
service
for
emergency
management
before
that,
because
I've
been
here
since
1984,
we
just
relied
on
whatever
the
county
told
us
to
do
from
emergency
management.
L
L
Whatever
the
infrastructure
issue
is
or
the
housing
issue,
we
are
changing
the
level
of
service
based
on
the
demand
and
the
crisis
that
we're
in,
and
I
just
hope
that
we
can
grow
together
and
get
it
done
in
the
in
the
manner
that
we're
talking
about-
and
I
have
all
the
faith
in
the
world
between
miss
travis's
office
and
all
the
other
departments
that
have
made
certain
efficiency
sacrifices
to
feed.
That
emergency
are
going
to
continue
to
work
on
that
process
with
council
support.
L
So,
just
a
philosophical
journey
from
what
I've
seen
over
the
last
20
years,
how
the
city
has
been
asked
to
increase
levels
of
service,
whether
it's
in
the
social
sector,
the
public
safety
sector,
any
other
sector
that
has
come
to
our
attention,
and
this
one
is
the
most
present
right
now.
So
thank
you.
M
I
have
a
question
for
miss
duncan
because,
as
I
look
for
where
to
find
money,
I
I
dove
into
the
pure
thing
and
found
a
few
more
in
the
capital
improvement
project
realm,
and
I
know
that
we
probably
can't
move
money.
But
I'm
going
to
ask
anyway
the
sustainable
water
supply
that
is.
M
It
says
project
provides
for
alternative
water
supplies
to
drought,
proofing,
existing
supplies
and
provides
sustainable
water
source
for
decades
to
come,
evaluation,
study,
design
and
construction.
E
Yeah,
I'm
going
to
ask
brad
to
weigh
in
a
little
bit
on
those
on
that
particular
item
on.
I'm
not
sure
if
we
can
answer
the
funding
side
in
this
moment,
but
if
we
can't
we'll
certainly
circle
back
on
that.
M
A
You're
talking
about
the
the
monies
that
were
earmarked
in
previous
years
and
there's
eight
million
spent
out
of
11..
If
I
can
get
that
right.
Yes,.
L
A
All
the
planning
work
and
also
some
source
control
work,
if
you
remember
previous
briefings
on
that
and
the
work
on
the
alternative
study
plus
the
national
research
water
institute,
work
that
was
done
so
all
of
those
things,
source
control
just
to
remind
everybody-
was
to
go
back
into
the
wastewater
system
and
determine
where
the
high
strength
waste
was
coming
from.
A
So
you
could
get
it
at
the
source
so
that
money
I
would
have
to
defer
to
mr
rogerio
if
it's,
if
it's
still
available,
but
we
we
did
not
spend
all
of
that
money.
You
are
correct.
M
And
so
I
guess
what
I'm
doing
is
when
I'm,
when
I'm
digging
through
this
I'm
finding,
like
that's
2.7
million
and
in
the
water
sustainability
program,
we
have
320
000,
and
it's
not
that
I
mean
there
are
other
things
too,
where
they've
we've
allocated
money,
we've
spent
some
money
and
then
there's
no
allocation,
there's
no
budget
for
the
next
five
years.
So
what
do
we
do
with
all
that
money?
That's
just
sitting
there
and
and
how
do
we
access
that.
F
Yes,
ma'am
and
I'll
use
the
pure
project
as
an
example,
I've
got
more
information,
since
you
surfaced
that
I
was
2.2
million-ish
for
in
previously
appropriated
and
council-approved
funding,
as
you
saw
from
the
capital
improvement
sheet,
400
000
or
so
has
been
spent.
We
have
1.1
million
dollars,
that's
been
encumbered
or
obligated
to
outside,
I
believe
outside
vendors.
So
what
that
leaves
a
balance
of
that
can
be
used
for
other
water.
Related
projects
is
700
000.
you
get
2.2
less
the
400
000
actual
less
the
1.1
that's
been
obligated,
leaves
you
about
700
000..
M
M
I
I
appreciate
it
because
the
other
thing
then,
if
we
can
reallocate,
I
think
all
of
us
would
but
we
are
well.
I
don't
well,
I'm
I'm
the
daughter
and
the
granddaughter
of
an
accountant,
but
I'm
not
an
accountant
myself.
So
I
I
don't.
I
don't
know
where
to
look
in
a
thousand
page
budget
to
find
these.
M
N
C
M
M
F
F
One
of
the
reasons
we
don't
come
to
council
and
say
if
the
project
isn't
closed
out.
Yet
one
of
the
reasons
we
don't
come
to
council
and
say
you
have
extra
money
here
is
because
the
presumption
is
council
approved
the
project
and
they
will
want
to
see
that
project
completed.
If
that's
not
the
case,
then
again
bring
it
to
our
attention
and
we
can-
and
we
can
see
what's
obligated,
for
instance,
it
isn't
actually
spent
it's
a
great
idea.
F
M
That's
fair,
but
even
if
we
have,
even
if
we
do
want
to
finish
a
project,
sometimes
by
some
sort
of
extra
wonderfulness,
we
don't
use
all
that
money.
F
D
H
Mentioning
that
hannah
avenue
project
we
were,
we
asked
a
lot
of
tough
questions.
We
didn't
get
enough
answers
and
we
were
hesitant
to
approve
it.
We
did
and
then
two
weeks
later
we
found
out
from
the
public
that
it
didn't
hit
mbe
guidelines,
and
it
also,
I
think,
did
not
hit
the
apprenticeship
program
guidelines
and
it
wasn't
put
out
for
bid
other
than
a
ccna
exception.
H
The
legal
department
found
from
2015.,
and
so
then
we
tried
to
withdraw
it,
but
initially
it
was
based
on
the
data
we
had
the
time
we
didn't
have
full
information,
we
approved
it
and
then
the
legal
department
said
you
can't
you
can't
withdraw
it,
because
not
only
are
we
going
to
get
sued
but
you'll
personally
be
liable,
we're
not
going
to
protect
you
and
so
the
the
question
is
it
originally.
It
was
two
buildings
for
100
million.
Then
it
became
one
building
for
108
million.
H
F
It
it
will
depend
on
what
the
scope
of
the
project
is
and
when
it
is
decided
that
that
project
is
complete
again.
There's
debt
service
and
debt
issuance
wrapped
up
in
that.
So
if
there's
money
left
over,
for
instance,
we'll
have
to
see
how
that
corresponds
to
the
debt
issuance
that
we've
made
and
whether
and
of
course
I
wouldn't
know
this-
whether
it
has
met
the
definition
of
that
project
being.
H
The
the
other
thing
is
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting.
One
of
the
first
questions
I
asked
you
was:
is
there
anything
in
this
budget
for
pure
and
if
I
remember
correctly,
the
answer
was
no
and
then
it
turns
out.
There
are
some
things
in
there,
so
I
they're
under
different,
but.
F
H
F
H
But
but
I
think
several
million
dollars
has
been
spent
in
the
last
three
years
now,
and
one
thing
is
when,
when
you
all
first
came
to
us
with
it,
it
was
350
million
and
then,
when
I
proposed
taken
out
of
the
budget,
you
all
said
well
just
take
300
out.
So
to
me
there
was
also
50
million
slush
funds
there
and
just
to
get
the
votes.
I
made
the
motion
anyway
for
300
instead
of
350,
but
anyway.
A
Brad
bear
deputy
administrator
infrastructure
just
for
clarification.
Maybe
I
didn't
hear
the
question
correctly,
but
the
two
point,
or
almost
2.2
million
that
was
earmarked
in
previous
budget
years
for
pure,
was
actually
a
placeholder
for
the
30
design.
H
H
A
H
And
the
last
thing
two
two
other
quick
things:
the
water
department
briefed
us
on,
maybe
three
or
four
water
buildings.
One
of
them,
I
think,
is
six
million,
for
that
includes
like
room
for
five
people
plus
a
water
museum.
H
My
recommendation
of
them
was
go
rent,
space
and
and
and
use
the
rest
of
money
on
something
else,
but
the
the
question
is:
if,
if
I
remember
correctly
correct
me
from
wrong
as
royal
said
that
the
the
hannah
avenue
project
is
being
used
with
or
being
paid
with,
general
fund
money,
why
didn't
we
put
water
department
people
in
there?
I
know
that
people
have
to
work
on
site
have
to
work
on
site,
but
I
think
it's
only
like
a
5-10
minute
drive
from
the
water
treatment
facility.
H
Why
wouldn't
we
have
put
water
department,
people
in
hannah
avenue
and
then
then
we
could
have
used
enterprise
fund
money
to
offset
the
general
fund
money.
I
mean
if
general
fund
money
is
the
most
scarce,
then
why
wouldn't
we
have
put
some
enterprise
offices
in
there,
so
we
can
offset
some
of
that
money.
E
Gene
duncan
infrastructure
mobility,
yes,
the
hannah
building
was
scoped
and
identified
for
all
of
those
rental
spaces
that
we
have
scattered
throughout
the
city,
some
of
which
are
coming
up
with
lease
expirations
or
other
other
situations,
such
as
folks
getting
kicked
at
11th
street
due
to
the
department
of
transportation
project.
E
So
the
goal
and
the
interest
was
have
the
water
staff
that
is
currently
in
reddit
space
or
other
modular
units
be
on
the
site
with
the
plant,
because
we
get
a
lot
better
efficiency
communication
and
those
type
of
things
so
the
hand
building
was
up
planned
to
have
the
water
engineers
and
technicians
in
that
structure.
H
C
Councilman
it's
getting
late,
you
bring
it
to
a
close.
Obviously
there
are
ways
that
we
can
find
some
extra
dollars.
C
C
C
I
don't
know
what
the
answer
is
tonight
or
what
it
comes
out
of
the
board,
but
I
think
you
need
to
look
at
all
your
projects
on
that
side
of
the
aisle
see
if
we
can
take
those
dollars
if
we
can
close
out
some
things
and
bring
it
back
to
this
board
before
the
20th,
so
the
public
can
feel
easy,
we're
doing
something
it's
their
money
too.
They
have
a
right
to
scream
and
yell
at
us.
I
tell
people,
I
don't
care
about
being
elected.
C
C
Hey
they
don't
know,
they
know,
they'll
see
this
weight
coming
down
the
sides.
So
I
care
nothing
about
that
that
re-election,
I
care
nothing
about
the
political
side.
I
just
care
about
doing.
What's
right
for
the
people,
people
say
they're
suffering,
it's
my
job
to
make
sure
they
eat
some
of
their
pain
from
suffering.
C
B
C
F
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
and
thank
you,
mr
massey
chair.
If
I
can
expand
just
just
a
little
bit
on
it,
absolutely
yes,
of
course,
mr
massey
is
quite
correct.
We
have
both
legal
and
debt
covenant
restrictions
associated
with
using
an
enterprise
fund
for
non-uh
non-enterprise
fund.
However,
you
know
we
do
we
being
the
general
fund
does
get
funding
in
a
more
roundabout
way
from
the
enterprise
funds,
via
the
cost
allocation
plan.
F
I
think
it
is
a
third
party
nationally
renowned
third
party
vendor
and
it's
quite
an
extensive
study
to
defend
what
we
can
get
from
those
enterprise
funds,
because
we
don't
in
my
checkered
past
before
I
came
to
the
city
of
tampa,
I
might
have
pushed
the
envelope
a
little
too
much,
for
instance
in
taking
enterprise
funding
for
the
general
fund.
So
there
are
very
strict
guidelines
we
have
to
follow,
so
we
do
get
some
reimbursement
if
you
will
from
the
enterprise
funds
further
to
that
hannah
avenue.
F
For
instance,
will
start
we
anticipate
in
fiscal
year
24
giving
some
cost
allocation
funding
to
the
general
fund
from
from
fund
sources
such
as
the
construction
services
center,
for
instance,
not
in
fiscal
year
23,
but
as
it
comes
online,
we
will
absorb
them
into
the
cost
allocation
plan.
But
further
to
your
point,
mr
news,
I
do
appreciate
a
financial
challenge,
so
we
we
will
go
back
and
look
through
every
every
avenue.
Councilwoman.
M
M
F
M
Probably
any
other
type
of
report
that
that
does
detail
that
would
be
would
be
really
interesting.
Anything
that
details
the
money,
that's
being
spent,
that's
being
sent
around
any
way
that
we
can
find
I'm.
I
I'm
happy
to
read.
F
Yes,
ma'am
and,
of
course,
again
kind
of
oh
I'm
sorry.
F
Just
want
to
make
sure
yes,
we
will,
we
will
send
a
copy
to
each
and-
and
you
know,
cut
further
to
councilman
carlson's
point.
That
is
that
that
is
how
sensitive
the
general
fund
is.
We
want
to
get
ever
literally
every
cent
that
the
general
fund
is
entitled
to
and
that's
one
of
the
mechanisms
we
use.
J
Thank
you
very
much,
and
and
it's
something
that
chief
bennett
said
that
I
think
is
really
true,
which
is
that
the
the
city
is
expanding
its
footprint,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
reimagining
its
role
and
and
it's
something
I
think
that
that
challenges
a
lot
of
people.
I
remember
on
this
council,
I
a
lot
of
the
the
new
members
councilman
dingfelder,
who
obviously
not
with
us
right
now:
councilman
carlson,
councilman
goodzl.
J
A
lot
of
the
people
on
the
council
were
talking
very
aggressively
about
housing
and
and
pushing
that,
and
I
and
I
think
it's
it's
it's
a
obviously
a
good
thing.
You
know
I've
always
come
from
the
perspective
that
we
shouldn't
defer
so
liberally
to
the
county.
On
on
on
some
of
these
social
welfare
issues,
you
know
the
county
has
a
great
indigent
health
care
program.
I'd
love
for
the
city
to
have
something
like
that.
Call
me
a
big
government,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
a
bleeding
heart.
J
I
I'd
love
to
see
something
like
that.
I
think
down
the
line,
but
but
certainly
this
is
something
that's
very
proper.
I
did
want
to
make
a
motion,
if
I
may,
with
regards
to
the
fire
issue
for
tampa
city
council,
to
request
that
the
administration
meet
with
tampa
firefighters,
local
754,
to
determine
the
use
of
the
million
dollars
that
were
budgeted
for
district
7,
coupled
with
looking
at
again.
Let's,
let's
take
a
look
at
this,
I
I
think
it's
important
to
fund
potentially
a
new
fire
station
every
year,
plus
design.
J
So
look
at
design
for
the
next
fire
station
and
we
got
a
couple
weeks
to
do
that
and
and
that's
it
and
my
office
can
can
work
on
that.
N
A
J
D
N
First,
I
just
want
to
you
know,
thank
councilmember
goodes
and
her
attack
for
your
strength
and
your
leadership.
I
agree
with
everything
you
said
on
the
housing
very
impressive
and-
and
your
comments
I
think,
are
very
well
appreciated,
because
you're
fighting
for
what's
right
and
and
I'm
happy
to
support
you
always
because
again,
I
agree
with
everything
you
said.
Secondly,
I
did
ask
you,
mr
o'hara,
earlier
about
the
naacp.
N
F
It
the
answer
is:
it
depends,
for
instance,
with
this
new
system.
We
would
ask
for
an
itemization
of
the
funding
they
provided
me
back
up.
They
provide
a
justification
if
you
will
of
of
what
the
city
gets
for
that
7200
exactly
anything
above
that,
we
would
ask
them
for
additional
justification.
What
will
the
city
get
or
our
return
on
investment,
whether
it's
10,
000,
20,
30,
etc?
So.
N
If
I
were
to
make
a
motion,
let's
say
at
100
000,
I'm
just
putting
that
number
out
there.
They,
for
example,
have
mentor
mentorship
programs.
They
have
scholarship
programs,
they
have,
they
can
come
back
and
say
this
is
where
the
money
went.
It's
not
that
they're
going
to
salary
increases
and
a
fancy
new
car
for
the
executive,
and
none
of
that
it's
going
directly
to
help
the
youth
the
community,
whoever
is
in
need,
whatever
they
wish
to
do
with
that
money.
N
That
benefits
somebody
in
whatever
the
capacity
is,
and
I
know
again,
mentorship
programs
helping.
You
know,
guide
youth
to
that
are
high
school
students.
Anything
I
mean
there's
a
wide
variety,
but
you
know
if
I
were
to
make
a
motion
for
let's
say
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
You
know
cap
it
at
that,
allocate
that
but
require
them
per
the
system
that
you
talked
about.
They
come
back
and
say
this
is
what
you're
getting
for
this
90-something
plus
thousand
dollar
income.
This
is
where
we
put
the
money
towards
here.
Are
the
receipts
you.
L
B
L
L
This
very
simple
process.
If
you
will
it's
called
the
logic
model,
you
basically
say
these
are
the
resources
you
have.
These
are
the
outputs
that
you
deliver.
These
are
the
outcomes
you
hope
to
get,
and
then
you
report
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
you
get
your
funds
in
a
quarterly
manner
and
then
what
happens
is
mr
rogero's
office?
Much
like
grant
accountability
goes
through
those
quarterly
deliverables
and
makes
sure
they
align
with
providing
opportunity
to
the
city
within
a
strategic
plan
strategic
realm.
When
the
naacp
had
asked
for
an
increase
of
funding.
L
A
year
ago,
I
had
asked
miss
wind
to
send
out
brent
mckenzie
our
workforce
development
director
to
meet
with
the
naacp
on
site
and
work
through
their
workforce
model,
which
is
a
lot
of
things
you
just
spoke
to
and
then
bring
back
it
a
supportive
recommendation.
I
use
that
story
because,
quite
often,
when
we
get
a
non-profit
request,
we
will
ask
one
of
our
subject
matter:
experts
to
go
out
and
work
with
that
non-profit
and
find
out
how
to
right-size
the
program.
L
The
second
thing
that's
going
to
happen
this
year,
working
with
mr
rohero's
office,
is
that
when
these
requests
come
in
again,
it's
it's
a
unique
pie
within
a
pie
of
the
entire
budget.
So
when,
when
a
immediate
outlet
is
asking
for
a
hundred
thousand,
that's
getting
close
to
ten
percent
of
that
entire
pot.
So
we
look
at
things
in
these
sub-programming
areas.
Are
they
going
to
salaries?
Are
they
going
to
programming
or
they
go
into
workforce
development,
for
our
youth
and
et
cetera
and
all
those
things?
L
So
what
we
plan
to
do
is
as
these
come
in,
we
want
to
bring
them
back
to
council
and
say
here's.
The
percentage
of
this
pie
that
this
group
is
asking
for
here
is
the
way
that
they've
asked
to
program
it,
and
then
council
can
make
recommendations
around
that.
So
what
we're
asking
council
is
to
send
the
nonprofits
to
the
process,
and
then
we
will
come
back
and
bring
it
to
council
on
the
back
end
of
that,
due
diligence
so
to
earmark
a
dollar
amount.
L
We
don't
have
any
idea
how
many
requests
we're
going
to
get.
In
addition,
we've
had
some
new
ones
come
in
from
our
offline
conversations
in
the
in
the
nonprofit
community
so
and
then
there's
also
the
ones
that
have
been
somewhat
dependent
over
time
on
these
and
we
have
to
have
those
discussions.
So
I
think
not
to
put
words
in
mr
o'hara.
That's
why
it
depends
to
to
put
a
dollar
amount,
is
a
bit
of
a
challenge
until
we
go
through
that
process.
F
C
C
And
they're
asking
for
a
lot
of
money
and
I
don't
think
we
can
obtain
it
with
just
one
with
a
million
we've
got
so
many
folks
that
are
asking
for
for
dollars.
I
don't
know
what
the
county
gives
them,
what
the
county
gives
them
any
money.
I
would
imagine
the
county
does
give
me
money.
Would
you
know
what
the
county
gives
them?
I
do.
F
C
C
I
don't
know
if
temple
terrace
or
plant
city
gives
them
anything,
because
it's
a
community
that
for
for
all
hillsborough
county
I
would
assume,
but
I
know
they
do
do
a
lot
of
good
work
with
like
the
naacp.
So
if
we
can
look
at
some
kind
of
increase
for
those
two,
I
would
be
supportive
of
both
to
kind
of
get
an
increase
with
them.
I
know
we
can't
get
to
that
300
for
them,
but
I
always
say
something
is
better
than
nothing
to
work
with.
C
I
don't
know
if
we
can
match
the
100,
because
I
know
that
a
lot
of
folks
at
the
bottom
are
trying
to
be
a
part
of
the
process
now,
and
we
want
to
give
everybody
the
opportunity
to
get
a
piece
of
the
pot
I
mean
I
can
get
all
of
it,
but
at
least
get
a
piece
of
brine,
those
ones
who
have
been
doing
longer,
standing
work
because
we
got
to
keep
them
moving,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
small
programs.
You
know
this
is
what
I
hate.
C
C
It
brings
on
begging,
I
used
to
hate
that
I
would
allow
any
of
my
programs
to
do
any
of
that,
and
we
I
make
them,
try
to
find
another
applying
for
grants
talking
to
corporations
talking
to
small
businesses
to
get
the
money
versus
the
dangers
of
getting
out
there
getting
hit
by
cars,
because
you're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
these
small
programs
that
may
come
down
and
ask
because
they
know
it's
a
program,
and
I
want
to
see
some
of
those
folks
get
an
opportunity
understood.
C
So,
if
you
look
at
those
two
people
naacp
and
the.
H
I
just
make
a
comment
real
fast
to
my
colleagues.
You
know
I
showed
a
copy
of
the
charter
the
other
day.
This
is
our
budget
right.
The
mayor's
office
presents
it
and
if
you
read
the
charter,
several
on
the
chart
review
commission,
if
you
read
the
charter
literally,
we
should
be
a
lot
more
involved
in
this
budget
than
we
are.
But
it's
our
budget
we
can
go
in,
we
can
add
whatever
we
want.
The
only
thing
is:
it's:
either
either
we're
gonna.
H
If
there's
a
finite
amount
of
money,
we
can
either
reduce
something
else,
or
we
can
ask
the
administration
do
it,
and
so
I
don't
think
we
should
go
begging
to
the
administration
to
put
something
in
they
put
all
their
goodies
and
pet
projects
and
220
million
office
buildings
in
here.
Instead,
we
should
tell
them
what
we
want
and
I
I
think
for
both
of
those
that
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
too
little
and
they
shouldn't
be.
They
should
they
should
be
held
accountable
for
sure.
H
H
What
they're
doing
is
they're,
taking
our
500,
000
or
550
000
and
they're,
using
that
to
let
an
insider
group
that
pays
30
000
each
to
to
attract
companies
that
are
already
coming
and
what
they
do
is
they
offer
them
subsidies
so
they're,
offering
back
office,
jobs
or
or
jobs
that
are
coming
here
anyway,
subsidies
from
the
county
and
city
and
state
to
to
subsidize
these
jobs.
Instead,
what
we
need
to
be
doing
is
working
on
our
numbers.
It's
really
offensive
in
the
in
the
summary
of
the
budget.
H
H
We
need
to
be
honest
and
address
those
issues,
because
we
can
make
the
numbers
move
up
on
them,
but
the
only
way
we're
going
to
do
it
is
by
addressing
the
housing
issue
and
the
first
step
is
helping
people
find
a
place
to
live
or
stay.
The
next
thing
is
helping
them
buy
a
home,
but
then
the
other
thing
is
we
instead
of
workforce
development,
which
is
talked
about
in
this
in
this
budget
also,
we
need
to
go
beyond
that
and
talk
about
helping
people
build
their
own
businesses.
H
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
want
to
be
entrepreneurs
in
east
tampa
and
and
the
edc
is
not
helping
them
start.
Businesses.
Workforce
program
is
not
helping
to
start
a
business.
Workforce
program
is
necessary,
but
it's
only
helping
people
get
and
get
new
jobs
or
get
to
get
slightly
better
jobs.
There
are
really
smart
people
that
could
start
their
own
businesses
and
that
builds
intergenerational
wealth
in
places
like
east
ham.
H
But
we
need
to
stop
thinking
about
east
tampa
as
a
place
to
subsidize
in
a
place,
that's
rich
in
culture
and
history,
and
that
has
smart
people
that
want
to
be
successful
and
what
the
naacp
has
is
not
just
a
workforce
program,
but
they
have
a
program
that
helps
entrepreneurs.
They
help
people
start
their
own
businesses
and
build
their
own
businesses
and
make
their
own
businesses
successful,
and
that's
really
what
we
need
to
do
and
we
need
to
put
metrics
around
it.
But
let's.
H
If,
if
I
had
a
choice,
I
would
just
cut
150
000
out
of
the
edc
budget
and
give
it
to
that,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
effective
for
in
moving
the
numbers
of
our
community.
Instead
of
looking
at
the
cherry
picking
the
numbers
that
we
think
look
good
and
ignoring
the
numbers
that
are
bad.
You
know:
we've
talked
about
the
disparity
rate
between
men
and
women
in
in
saint
peter's,
three
thousand
dollars
a
year
and
tampa's
nine
thousand
dollars
a
year.
H
The
disparity
between
blacks
and
whites
and
saint
peter's,
fifteen
thousand
dollars
a
year
and
tampa
is
twenty
one
thousand
average
homeownership
rate
statewide
is
sixty-five
percent
saint
peter's,
fifty-eight
percent,
tampa's
48
and
african-americans
like
38..
It's
crazy
how
bad
our
numbers
are,
and,
as
the
former
dean
of
the
college
of
business
at
usf
said,
we
our
strategy,
can't
be
to
say
thank
god
for
miami
that
miami's
last.
We
need
to
be.
H
We
need
to
strive
to
be
first
and
we
the
only
way
we
do
it
is
to
bring
everybody
up
and
and
spending
550
000
to
subsidize.
Big
businesses
is
not
working.
It
hasn't
worked,
it's
not
working
and
there's
a
lot
of
other
programs
that
aren't
working
building.
220
million
dollar
buildings.
There's
money
out
there
to
spend
on
what
matters
150
000
toward
a
an
entrepreneurship
program
at
the
naacp,
will
most
likely
be
incredibly
successful
and
give
us
many
times
the
return.
If
we
measure
correctly.
Thank
you.
M
M
A
M
And
I
have
another
question
for
you:
these
enterprise
funds,
these
these
water
wastewater,
all
of
those
they
are
expected
to
run
as
a
business,
and
they
are
expected
to
be
profitable.
Yes,
what
do
we
do
with
that?
Profit.
F
We
it's
a
very
good
question.
We
do
a
couple
of
different
things
fund
balance
again.
You
know.
The
general
fund
has
a
fund
balance
the
rainy
day
fund
for
economic
uncertainty,
etc,
as
do
the
enterprise
funds,
if
they
have
debt
service
obligations
and
they
have
a
reserve
and
other
funding
set
aside
to
meet
those
debt
service
covenants
and
also
because
they're
a
business,
they
are
compelled
to
reinvest
in
themselves
for
infrastructure
things
like
that.
M
But
we're
also
you
know,
funding
the
pipes,
project
and
other
things
through
through
debt.
Yes,
is
there
any
way
we
can
take
any
of
this
any
any
of
the
the
funds
that
we
are
making,
because
those
are
funds
that
we
can
easily
move
to
a
general
budget
because
they
don't
necessarily
belong.
M
I'm
sorry
just
the
the
general
fund,
if
we
could
take
the
the
this
is
why
I'm
not
an
accountant
if
we
can
take
what
we
made
the
extra?
What's
the
word
I'm
looking
for,
if
we
can
thank
you
if
we
can
take
the
surplus
or
what
we've
made
on
time.
M
On
top
of
you
know
paying
the
bills
for
the
enterprise
funds,
and
we
have
this
extra
money
and
it
can
go
to
the
to
the
general
fund
and
we
can
fund
things
that
the
those
departments
need
through
other
means
is
that
something
we
can
do.
F
We
cannot
and
and
but
I
I
appreciate
the
question-
I
appreciate
the
out
of
the
box
thinking
because,
ideally,
the
surplus
is
categorized
for
either
existing
or
future
expenditures.
Based
on
the
plan
that
business
is
anticipated
to
run
in
perpetuity,
the
water
department
is
always
going
to
exist,
the
wastewater
department,
etc.
N
N
You
know
huge
and
touch
a
lot
of
people.
That
would
certainly
benefit
from
that
and
I'd
like
that
between
now
and
the
second
reading
of
the
budget.
It's
not
a
lot
of
money,
it's
what
92,
000
and
change,
but
it's
money
that
will
come
back
to
us
multiplied
x,
amount
of
times
because
of
the
good
work
that
they
do.
D
H
Real
fast,
I
went
to
brooklyn
on
an
arts
tour
a
couple
years
ago,
three
four
years
ago,
and
they
spend
six
billion
dollars
a
year
on
a
similar
six
million
dollars
a
year
on
a
similar
program
and
the
way
they
look
at
it
is
it's
an
incubator
for
creating
new
jobs.
The
jobs
of
the
president
and
the
future
are
all
related
to
this.
So
again,
this
is
about
economic
development.
It's
not
about
subsidizing,
a
non-profit,
it's
about!
You
know
every
kid
wants
to
be
a
youtube
star
or
they
want
to
start
some
of
there's.
H
There's
unlimited
channels
down
unlimited
amounts
of
content,
and
these
places
are
the
ones
that
are
training
people
for
the
few
jobs
of
the
future,
and
it's
not
just
workforce
development
teaching.
Somebody
how
to
use
word.
It's
about
really
training
people
to
build
value
and
and
creativity
in
the
community.
M
Can
I
piggyback
councilwoman,
so
I
just
pulled
up
man,
I'm
glad
I
brought
this
laptop
up
today.
I
just
brought
up
the
you.
You
were
talking
about
the
development
and
economic
opportunity.
It
says
here
that
the
tampa
hillsboro
economic
development
contribution
is
538
thousand
dollars.
M
C
I
know
right
now,
they're
they.
I
guess
they've
heard
mr
carlson's,
where
I
know
they're.
Looking
at
a
lot
of
things
over
in
the
east
side
of
town,
they've
heard
you
so
they're
working
hard
now
they're
trying
to
get
some
grants
going
they're
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
things,
because
mr
carlos
has
made
it
known
that
he
wants
them
to
do
a
little
more
foot
on
the
gas.
With
that.
H
K
It's
a
two:
it's
a
two-year
agreement
and
I
think
we're
one
year
into
that
agreement,
so
it'll
be
coming
due
the
next
fiscal
year,
okay,
but
to
councilman
good's
point.
We
have
been
working
with
the
edc.
I
have
shared
some
of
the
conversations
that
we've
had
councilman
carlson
in
doing
economic
development.
Specific,
clean,
clean
manufacturing
east
tampa
looking
at
the
success
or
of
businesses
that
are
in
the
district.
How
do
we?
How
do
we
double
down
on
that?
How
do
we
invest
more
in
the
district,
and
so
I
actually
had
a
call
with
them.
K
F
I'm
I'm
sorry
kel
if
I
may
council
member
goods,
if
you,
if
you
choose
not
to
make
a
motion
or
or
do
choose
to,
I'm
not
sure
I
I
quite
got
the
dollar
amount
that
you
were
looking
for.
I.
C
C
D
H
Can
I
just
mention
one
thing
about
it:
councilman
cross.
What
just
one
more
thing
about
that
the
tbcn
you've
heard
me
say
this
word
tvcn
and
tba
were
both
in
the
budget
five
six
years
ago
and
and
buckhorn
got
mad
at
mario
nunez
and
he
cut
both
of
their
budgets,
and
so
it
was
a
vindictive
thing
that
they
should
have
been
funded
throughout,
and
we
wouldn't
have
been
in
this
problem.
We
could
have
our
economy
could
have
done
a
lot
better.
Had
we
not
defunded
them,
but
it's
one
of
those.
H
C
I
think
councilman.
D
D
D
Councilwoman
hertek,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
zeal
on
affordable
housing.
You've
laid
down
the
gauntlet
and
I'm
sure
our
staff
is
going
to
find
the
funding
I'm
with
you
100
percent.
On
that
dba,
I
will
make
the
motion
that
I
would
like
that
to
be
200
000,
also
not
not
right
at
the
second,
I'm
not
finished
with
my
statement.
Okay
chief,
you
and
I
have
had
the
discussion
please
just
let
me
have
this
little
one.
Okay,
I'm
also
asking
there
are
more
and
more
and
more
people
moving
to
tampa.
D
I
make
a
motion
of
the
tbae
tampa
bay,
arts
and
entertainment
there,
but
their
monies
from
city
of
tampa
be
raised
to
200
000.
N
D
D
D
D
J
Sure-
and
thank
you,
mr
chair,
no,
it
came
to
me
I
didn't
think
about
this
before
in
november
we
have
the
cra
coming
for
support
for
marti,
masayo
social
club,
and
we
don't
know
what
those
needs
are
gonna
be.
There
could
be
some
that
have
to
come
from
the
the
city
of
tampa
as
opposed
to
cra
and
things
cra
can't
do
I
don't
anticipate
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
significant
amount
of
money,
but
you
never
know
so.
J
Pursuant
to
that,
if
I
may,
mr
chair,
I
wanted
to
make
a
motion
for
that
fund
to
potentially
potentially
assist
martine.
I
say:
well,
no,
it's
not
going
to
be
exhausted
by
that
time,
but
that
we
come
back
with
a
report
on
that
in
the
first
week
of
december,
because
we
have
a
cra
and
hi.
N
K
K
B
I
J
M
I
understand
that
this
is
how
this
is
always
done,
but
I
don't
feel
comfortable
voting
on
a
budget
right
now.
Do
you
I
mean
I
don't
feel
like
we've
done
any
I
mean
I
feel,
like
we've
come
up
with
a
million
questions
and
maybe
on
the
20th,
have
answers
to
those
questions,
but
1.9
billion
dollars
is
a
lot
just
to
say
well
by
second
reading.
We'll
have
it
done?
Is
that
really
how
we
do
this.
H
Look
at
last
week,
240
million
or
whatever
it
was.
You
know
the
we
have
we
have
short
briefings
and
then
we
have
a
couple
discussions
where
we
talk
about
it
publicly
and
then
we're
expected
to
vote
on
these
things.
And
that's
because
you
know
the
the
former
city
attorneys
came
and
yelled
as
the
strong
mayor
former
government
on
and
it
city
council
has
100
control
of
the
budget
and
we
need
to
exercise
that
control,
and
I
can
just
tell
you
all
before
we
vote.
H
I
don't
have
the
answers
to
my
questions
tonight,
which
I
think
are
basic
questions
and
the
same
as
last
week
when
I
asked
about
the
240
million,
there
are
too
many
big
projects
that
that
are
going
on
that
have
are
like
slush
funds
and
all
this
other
stuff
there's
no
way
I'm
going
to
vote
for
it.
I
have
voted
in
the
past
to
be
a
team
player
and-
and
I
still
got
attacked
by
mayor's
staff
and
I'm
not
I'm
not
going
to
vote
on
something
I
don't
believe
in
anymore.
H
There
are
a
lot
of
changes
we
need
to
make
to
this
budget
and
and
and
unless
administration
is
going
to
get
they're
not
going
to
get
my
vote.
Thank
you,
mr.
C
B
C
B
C
B
They
have
had
a
meeting,
they
elected,
not
to
make
any
formal
recommendations.
B
This
year,
they've
had
some
issues
with
organization.
They
I
think
they
have
elected
to
meet
each
each
member
with
the
member
that
appointed
them
to
give
their
input
on
the
budget,
but
they
have
decided
not
to
give
any
formal
recommendations
at
this
time.
That
is
what
I
understand.
C
I
just
I
just
put
that
out
today,
but
I'm
gonna
tell
you.
I
know
a
few
may
step
away
from
that
board.
They
feel
it's
a
useless
board.
They
feel
they
don't
have
the
input
or
get
the
information
they
need
to
make
rational
decisions
to
bring
to
this
council.
They
bring
recommendations.
They
feel
the
council
does
not
listen
to
their
recommendations.
C
That
board
was
put
in
place
for
them
to
give
their
perspective
of
the
budget,
and
they
feel
that
they
don't
get
the
cooperation
that
they
fully
need
to
get
answers
to
give
this
council
folks
they
haven't,
had
a
decent
quorum
meeting.
So
I
can
understand
why
they
can't
come
give
us
a
recommendation,
and
I
said
it
when
I
was
the
chairman,
the
council
members.
C
I
I
need
to
start
appointing
people
to
boards,
not
because
they're
friends
not
because
just
want
to
be
on
the
board
but
appoint
people
who
know
the
subject
matter
and
who
are
going
to
who
are
going
to
be
entrusted
to
bring
the
answers
they
need
and
again
that
board
is
an
important
board
and
I
hear
all
the
time
that
certain
people
are
on
that
board.
They're
not
engaged,
they
don't
show
up,
and
that
needs
to
be
evaluated.
B
And
you,
you
made
a
motion
council
made
a
motion
for
us
to
come
back
in
october
with
some
other
changes
to
the
structure
of
the
committee.
Yes,
we
are
going
to
have
a
committee
meeting.
I
believe
this
friday
to
talk
about
how
they're
going
to
function.
They're,
they're
tentatively,
setting
up
to
have
monthly
meetings.
Now
we
need
to
set
it
up
in
a
way
that
is
workable
with
revenue
and
finance
in
the
city
department's
coordinating.
It
has
to
be
a
collaborative
process
really
to
work
so.
C
B
If
I
could
just
say
a
couple
of
things,
we
run
on
a
fiscal
year,
and
so
we
do
have
to
have
a
budget
in
place
by
october
1st,
and
we
also
have
to
have
our
public
hearings
at
certain
designated
times.
Councilman
carlson
is
correct.
This
is
your
budget.
At
this
point
in
time
you
can
propose
changes
to
the
budget,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
by
by
october
1,
hopefully
by
september
20th,
we
will
have
a
budget
adopted
for
the
upcoming
year
that
we
really
need
to
have
that
in
place
by
florida
law.
N
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
now
my
seventh
year
and,
however
many
budgets,
obviously
since
coming
on
board
in
2015,
but
come
october
first
october.
N
So
there's
no
surprises
and
we
can,
you
know,
allocate
the
money
and
whatnot.
I
know
we
make
last
minute
changes
and
have
the
discussion
today,
but
it's
a
year-long
process.
It's
not
just
for
me.
It's
not
just
the
the
public
hearings,
it's
throughout
the
year,
proposing
ideas
and
that's
just
how
I
am
and
when
the
budget
comes,
then
I
am
I'm
most
prepared.
Thank
you.
M
I
I
just
think
that,
maybe
next
year,
if
we
could
do
a
budget
workshop
like
a
month
before
the
budget
comes
out
and
look
at
the
old
budget
and
see
like
where
we
want
to
move
some
money,
I
I
I
just
this
is
really-
and
I
understand
that
it's
a
year-long
thing,
but
it's
it's
to
me.
It's
the
public.
M
M
Obviously
this
year
is
what
it
is,
but
I
I
agree
with
you:
we
we
have
got
to
improve
the
citizens
advisory
committee,
but
put
some
teeth
back
into
that,
so
they
can
come,
and
I
mean
my
my
appointee.
She
is,
she
is
good.
She
just
gave
us
5.5
million
dollars
back.
So
I
I
I
challenge
you
all
to
find
somebody
who
will
read
a
budget.
The
way
stephanie
pointer
will.
Oh
there
you
go
so
the
two
of
them
together.
Are
we.
M
M
J
Yeah
you
know
I
I
would
and-
and
I
and
I
appreciate
like
councilman
carlson-
was
talking
about
some
issues
that
he
has
and
concerns.
I
I
respect
that
110
percent
there's
always
the
time
for
principle.
On
things
and
again
I
I
I
respect
that,
etc.
But
I
think
the
the
larger
issue
is
our
approving
a
budget
this
evening.
There's
too
many
important
issues
that
that
make
this
city
run.
J
If
we
continue
this
and
we
put
a
risk
on
the
certain
time,
cutoffs
look,
I
I'm
a
I'm
a
in
my
private
practice,
private
world,
I'm
a
civil
litigator
and
whenever
a
case
comes
out,
I
get
a
case
management
order,
sometimes
a
trial
order,
and
it
says
90
days
before
the
trial.
You
got
to
disclose
expert
witnesses
60
days
before
you
got
to
do
this,
you
got
to
do
it
well
we're
dealing
with
with
with
cutoffs
here,
etc,
with
real
binding
consequences
of
the
people
of
tampa.
J
So
again,
if
certain
members
wish
to
you
know,
vote
a
certain
way
for
for
principle
that
they
want
to
state.
I
can
respect
that.
That's
fine,
but
you
know
my
vote.
In
spite
of
any
you
know,
other
concerns,
etc,
requests
coming,
etc.
You
know
would
be
to
pass
this
forward
and
get
the
get
this
moving.
We
have
a
couple
of
weeks
until
second
reading
and
and
we
can
address
some
issues
in
between
again,
I
respect
what
other
folks
are
saying,
etc,
but
I
think
the
larger
picture
should
be
on
moving
it
forward.
C
M
I
agree
with
that
100
I,
but
I'm
also
going
to
make
a
motion
that
in
subsequent
years
we
have
a
meeting
before
the
budget
is
announced
to
to
get
the
people's
perspective
and
again
to
get
ours
in
a
public
forum.
I
know
you
come
to
us
individually
and
I
think
that's
great,
but
this
is
the
only
place
that
we
can
talk
to
one
another.
M
H
I
said
the
councilman
carlson
recognized,
I
said
almost
the
exact
same
thing
three
years
ago,
and
the
result
was
that
we
had
like
five
different
sessions
where
we
were
presented,
how
the
departments
work,
because
because
city
council
doesn't
understand
any
of
that-
and
we
don't
understand
the
budget.
So
nobody
goes
through
all
the
detail
with
us
and-
and
I
feel
like
I've,
been
treated
like
a
child
and
that's
and
that
it's
it's
offensive
because
you
know
the
public
wants
us
to
to
vote
and
act
a
certain
way,
and
I
agree
with
you.
H
We
should
have
several
discussions,
but
what
typically
happens
is
that-
and
I
said
this
a
couple
months
ago,
what
typically
happens
is
that
an
administration
will
say:
okay,
we
need
to
talk
to
council
and
then
they
ask
everybody
about
their
pet
project
and
I
never
give
a
pet
project
because
I'm
not
going
to
negotiate
something
like
that.
I
want
them
to
negotiate
the
overall
budget
and
overall
strategy
and
it's
it's.
It's
really
bad
and
offensive
that
there's
so
much
waste
in
this
budget.
H
H
If
we
approve
this,
what's
going
to
happen,
is
that
there's
going
to
be
a
press
conference
and
the
communication
department's
going
to
put
up
this
big
deal,
the
mayor's
new
t3
housing
program
and
how,
on
their
own,
the
administration
came
up
with
this
great
idea
to
spend
20
million
dollars
on
housing,
and
then
we
they've
been
planning
it
since
way
before
they'll
say
this
specifically,
we've
been
planning
this
since
way
before
the
public
meeting,
because
nothing
the
public
said
tonight
matter
nothing.
The
city
council
said
mattered.
H
We
were
already
planning
to
do
this,
just
like
they
did
on
fair
oaks
community
center.
When
we
we
had
a
cra
meeting
there
with
a
hundred
people
and
the
mayor
sent
a
video
saying,
I
want
to
renovate
it
and
everybody
laughed
and
we
got
angry
and
said:
that's
not
what
we
wanted.
Why
didn't
they
listen
to
us
first
and
th,
and
this
is
what
will
happen.
It'll
turn
into
a
press
conference
and
which
is
why
I
want.
H
I
want
city
council
to
be
respected
by
the
administration,
and
I
and
the
only
way
we
can
do
it
is
by
exercising
our
power
and
every
time
we
try,
we
get
attacked
and
they
need
to
stop
that.
The
mayor
needs
to
come
before
us
and
apologize
to
the
public
for
using
city
resources,
to
attack
city
council
and
apologize
to
us
and
tell
everybody
to
stop
it
so
that
we
can
move
forward
with
the
city.
Thank
you.
M
I'll
resend
the
motion
for
now,
but
I
I
definitely
want
to
I
want
to
come
back
with
something
because
I
feel
1.9
billion
dollars
is
just
a
lot
of
money
for
something
where
I
there's
a
lot
of
these
pieces
that
I've
read
through
as
much
as
I
can.
But
I
don't
there's
still
a
lot.
I
I
feel
like
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
for
1.9
billion
dollars,
and
that
makes
me
incredibly
uncomfortable.
C
Miss
travis,
we
can
look
at
how
we
can
come
back
with
some
more
knowledge
of
we
allocate
her.
That
way,
we
can
say
we
we
listen
to
the
public.
I
mean
it
won't
be
a
great
amount
this
year
because
we're
in
the
ninth
hour,
but
at
least
we
can
say
we
did
something
and
moving
forward.
We
can
put
that
piece
of
the
pie
for
the
future.
To
say
this
is
a
place
for
housing.
C
I
mean
we
hate
to
put
you
in
a
difficult
spot,
but
we're
in
a
difficult
spot
too.
It's
tough
times
right
now,
and
for
me
everybody
knows
man,
I
listen
to
the
people,
I
don't
listen
to
politics.
I
listen
to
the
people
and
the
people
have
told
me.
My
constituents
and
the
people
that
were
here
for
the
city
have
told
me.
D
Anyone
else
chief
bennett,
the
last
time.
The
last
time
the
citizens
budget
advisory
met
was
may
4th.
D
May
4th,
but
I
don't
think
I
think
miss
lisa
edwards
councilman
maniscalco's
aide
said
there
was
no
quorum.
F
D
My
point
is
this
is
the
first
time
since
I
was
sitting
out
in
that
audience
since
I've
been
doing
things
with
the
city
council
and
with
the
various
boards
committees
and
commissions.
Excuse
me
that
we've
never
had
a
report
from
the
budget
advisory,
and
it
just
seems
to
me
that
there
was
so
something
went
excused
somewhere.
D
I
think
that
the
next
board,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
there
is
meetings
and
set
up
some
sort
of
guidelines
that
those
meetings
are
attended.
Okay,.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you,
council
for
the
feedback,
just
a
two-sided
comment
to
everything
we've
heard
tonight.
We
appreciate
everybody's
feedback,
of
course,
the
last
two
budget,
iterations
that
we
did
were
under
covered
conditions
and
we
did
it
virtually.
If
you
remember,
and
I-
and
I
would
also
state
that
the
last
three
budgets
that
we've
worked
on
together.
L
I
did
it.
I
know
staff
did
it.
They
took
copious
notes
on
the
list
that
everybody's
asked
for
in
the
past
three
plus
hours,
and
what
I
would
ask
for
is
to
move
forward
together
outside
of.
Finally,
the
first
time
we're
all
in
the
same
room
together,
is
to
try
and
move
this
forward
and
allow
us
to
bring
back
between
tonight
and
the
20th
all
the
things
that
have
been
discussed
by
the
public.
All
the
things
that
you've
brought
to
us.
L
So
what
I'm
asking
is
that
you've
made
a
very
eloquent
and
very
focused
punch
list
to
bring
back
between
one
and
two.
I
would
ask
that
you
put
faith
on
staff
to
do
that
and
I
can
guarantee,
based
on
my
knowledge,
there'll,
be
no
press
conference.
There'll
be
nothing
until
we
work
together
on
the
budget
and
the
second
hearing.
H
Mr
bennett,
what
what
about
if,
along
the
lines
of
what
council
member
hertek,
was
saying,
we
have
a
meeting
on
the
15th
next
thursday,
a
regular
meeting.
What
if
we
it
looks
like
we
have
a
long
agenda,
but
what,
if
we
just
added
an
update,
an
interim
update
so
that
we're
not
if,
if,
if,
if
we're
going
to
have
to
make
it
a
final
decision
on
the
20th,
is
it
possible
to
get
a
midway
update?
H
B
L
Would
it
be
fair
to
say
that
staff
could
give
you
an
update
on
the
work
that
they've
been
able
to
do
between
today
and
the
15th
and
then
still
close
any
gaps
between
the
15th
and
the
20th,
because
I
saw
I
saw
some
workload
body
language
out
there.
That
knows
they
have
to
go
in
and
do
some
additional
work
and
and
again
between
the
midpoint,
which
is
kind
of
this,
is
what's
happened
for
six
months.
L
This
is
what
we
predict
going
forward
and
then
you
know
the
individual
calls
the
public
workshops,
so
you
can
talk
together
and
again.
Under
this
scenario,
I
don't
think
you
know,
I
know
all
of
you
said
it
in
a
different
way.
We've
never
faced
anything
like
this.
In
this
city,
changing
levels
of
service
under
inflation,
you
know
trying
to
retain
employees
trying
to
recruit
in
an
interesting
work
environment.
There's
a
lot
of
dynamics
going
on,
and
I
do
think
the
only
way
we
are
going
to
get
this
done.
L
Is
we
all
lean
in
and
figure
out
where
we
can
go
in
those
cushions
and
pockets
and
everything
else
and
figure
out
how
to
do
that
list
that
you've?
Given
us?
I
think
we
can
do
a
good
amount
of
it
between
the
15th
and
come
back
with
a
report
and
say
this
is
where
we
are
and
then
close
the
gap
between
there
and
the
22nd.
L
B
M
Do
you
want
to
make
the
motion?
I
will
make
the
motion
to
come
back
for
staff
to
come
back
with
a
report
during
staff
report
time
on
the
15th,
so
I
guess
that
would
be
nine
o'clock-ish
9
30-ish
whatever
stuff-
I
don't
know
if
I
have
to
do
time
for
that,
but.
G
D
B
B
D
C
D
We
have
a
motion
closed
by
councilman
vieira
seconded
by
councilman
mata
scalco
roll
call
vote.
D
A
G
Let
me
read

military
move
to
tentatively
adopt
the
proposed

which
is

more
than
the

of
5.6641

for

tax
funds,
which
are
used
to
support
the

operating

city
of
tampa.
M
M
D
G
Thank
you.
I
am
number
12
reading
of
the
ordinance
for
first
reading.
An
order
is
adopting
the
budget
of
the
city
of
tampa

beginning
october,
1,
2022
and

providing
for
the

as
provided
by
law,
of
attacks
on
all
taxable
properties
in
the
city
of
tampa
and
fixing
the
military
with
said
city,
making
appropriation
accordance
with
the
provisions
of
said
budget
authorizing
and
directing
the
mayor
and
city
clerk
as
the
proper
authorities
of
the
city
of
tampa
to
certify
the
property
appraiser
of
hillsborough
county
florida.
G
D
M
Now
I'll
say
it
it's
not
as
much
fun,
but
I
really
hate
not
knowing
how
things
go
and
then
I
just
make
a
fool
of
myself,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
will
I'm
I'm
going
to
support
this
tonight,
because
I
know
how
it
needs
to
move
forward.
I
I
I
would
love
a
better
system
for
this
in
the
future
and
if
I
don't
get
my
10
percent,
you
will
not
have
my
support
on
the
20th.
C
A
H
D
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
your
flexibility
tonight
and
for
managing
a
difficult
conversation.
N
N
M
I
have
to
say
I
don't
know
about
you
all,
but
I
had
fun
tonight
because
I
really
like
to
talk
to
you
and
I
don't
ever
get
a
chance
to
talk
to
you.
So
even
and
I
do
thank
chair
because
I
talk
out
of
turn
and
you
just
gotta
just
gotta
slap
me
on
my
hand.
M
I
just
want
to
say
I
I
do.
I
really
appreciate
this
discussion
and
I
think
discussions
like
this
is
what
makes
this
body
so
interesting,
and
you
know
it's
it's
it's
where
we
actually
get
to
to
debate
with
one
another
and
to
really
find
out
ways
to
move
the
city
forward,
and
I
really
want
to
thank
the
public
for
coming
out
tonight
for
starting
the
discussion.
