All
right,
tampa
city
council
back
in
session
roll
call,
please
carlson.
B
We
have
a
physical
forum.
Thank
you,
man,
mr
shelby.
Can
you
give
some
direction
for
today's
session,
so
the
public
will
know
how
we're
going
to
proceed.
E
Okay,
well,
first
of
all,
mr
chairman,
martin
shelby
city
council
attorney
on
behalf
of
the
chair.
I
hear
a
lot
of
noise
on
the
second
floor.
Could
we
ask
people
who
are
in
the
building
whether
you're
on
the
first
floor
or
you're?
On
the
second
floor
out
of
courtesy
to
the
people
who
are
in
the
building
with
you
and
want
to
hear
this
meeting
and
out
of
courtesy
to
the
people
who
are
speaking
with
city
council?
I
ask
if
the
public
can
remain
quiet.
E
There
are
signs
on
the
second
floor
asking
for
quiet
pleas
if
there
is
overflow
on
the
first
floor,
please
also
be
mindful,
if
you
are
in
any
public
areas,
to
keep
your
voice
down
as
much
as
possible,
so
the
public
is
able
to
watch,
listen
and
view
this
meeting
from
both
the
second
floor
and
the
first
floor,
as
well
as
those
people
who
are
watching
at
home
because
the
noise
does
spill
over
into
city
council's
chambers.
That's
number
one
number
two,
mr
chairman.
E
My
understanding
is
that
there
are
a
substantial
number
of
people
here.
One
person
I've
been
informed
by
the
clerk
who
was
registered
but
wasn't
on
this
morning,
actually
is
on
virtually
by
phone.
When
public
comments
should
come,
what
is
council's
pleasure
and
what
is
the
chair's
direction
with
regard
to
how
we're
going
to
proceed
with
the
presentations?
This.
B
Afternoon,
I'd
like
to
proceed
with
staff's
presentation,
first,
that
we
will
give
it
the
public
and
those
downstairs
a
chance
to
weigh
in
on
what
staff
is
trying
to
get
across
to
this
council
for
the
decision
that
we
may
need
to
make
today
on
something.
I
don't
know
what
that
may
be
after
that,
we'll
let
the
public
then
chime
in
and
then
of
course,
council
members
will
have
their
chance
an
opportunity
to
challenge
any
more
questions,
as
it
relates
to
the
public's
concerns.
Thank.
B
All
right
staff
general,
as
you
know,
I
I
put
this
item
on
the
agenda
to
be
discussed
a
while
ago,
because
what
this
one
councilman
deems
as
a
crisis
in
this
county
in
our
city
and
across
the
country
there
is
a
crisis.
There's
no
doubt
about
that.
When
I
go
to
the
mcdonald's
and
burger
kings
in
the
morning,
and
I
see
mothers
taking
their
kids
washing
them
up
in
the
mcdonald's
bathrooms
and
I'm
getting
calls
from
some
level
people
at
mcdonald's
saying
that
you
know
this
is
true.
B
B
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
concerning
the
memo
that
was
sent
out
to
me,
but
I
think
that's
something
we
can
do
so
with
that
further
to
do
I'll
turn
it
over
to
staff
to
tell
us
and
give
us
a
presentation.
F
F
I
also
did
a
nationwide
search
to
see
if
there
were
any
other
ordinances
enacted
around
the
same
time
based
on
the
same
circumstances,
and
I
found
a
statewide
ordinance
that
was
enacted
in
oregon,
and
I've
also
provided
that
information
to
you
all
of
those
ordinances
limit
increases
to
three
pers.
I'm
sorry.
E
E
F
You
want
me
to
start
over
so
that
everyone,
rebecca
johns
legal
department,
we
were
asked
to
look
into
rent
control
ordinances
in
santa
ana,
california
and
saint
paul
minnesota.
F
I
have
pulled
those
ordinances
and
provided
them
to
you
in
the
memo
that
I
provided
to
council,
the
details
of
those
ordinances
are
in
there.
The
ordinances
are
attached.
I
also
looked
nationwide
to
see
if
any
other
ordinances
were
enacted.
Around
the
same
time,
those
ordinances
were
enacted,
the
end
of
2019,
I
mean
end
of
2021.
I'm
sorry.
The
state
of
oregon
had
in
2019
enacted
a
statewide
rent
control
ordinance
between
the
three
ordinances.
The
limitations
range
from
a
flat
three
percent
increase
to
seven
percent
over
the
cpi.
F
F
F
I
think
by
now
everybody
is
kind
of
familiar
with
those
requirements,
but
I
will
still
go
through
and
summarize
in
order
to
adopt
the
ordinance.
The
ordinance
must
contain
a
finding
that
there
is
a
housing
emergency
so
grave
as
to
constitute
a
serious
menace
to
the
general
public,
and
the
ordinance
is
necessary
and
proper
to
eliminate
the
housing
emergency.
F
The
ordinance
must
expire
in
one
year.
The
ordinance
must
be
approved
by
a
referendum
of
the
voters
of
the
city
of
tampa.
This
statute
was
enacted
in
1977
and
nothing
has
occurred
since
the
statute
was
enacted.
No
jurisdiction
in
florida
has
enacted
a
rent
control
ordinance,
so
we
have
no
guidance
as
to
how
those
requirements
would
be
interpreted
by
a
court.
F
F
F
I'm
almost
done,
we've
also
summarized
the
potential
challenges
that
the
city
could
be
potential
claims
that
the
city
could
face
if
they
enacted
this
ordinance.
It
is
up
to
the
city.
It
is
their
burden
of
proof
to
prove
that
the
city
adopted
this
ordinance
in
accordance
with
every
element
of
that
statute.
F
We
have
abby
and
chaon
and
nicole
travis
here
to
talk
about
the
programs
that
the
city
is
doing.
We
have
a
new
program
being
launched
on
march
1st.
That
does
provide
rental
assistance,
so
they
are
here
that's
out
of
my
wheelhouse,
but
they
are
here
to
talk
about
those
programs.
B
G
Since
no
since
no
other
city
has
implemented
this
since
the
70s,
it
wouldn't
be
fair
to
say
that
that
this
was
put
in
place
to
try
to
stop
cities
from
putting
I
mean,
if
we
did
not
have
a
state
law
preempting
this
we
might
have
a
multi-year,
we
might
be
able
to
consider
a
multi-year
rent
cap
or
rent
control
or
whatever,
but
because
of
the
state
law
we
can't.
We
can't
do
any
of
that
right.
I
mean
it's
one
year
and.
F
G
And
that
would
make
that
would
that
would
depend
on
the
timing
of
when
the
election
was
and
whether
it's
a
special
election
and
other
things
like
that,
and
also
is
there
any?
Is
there
any
basic
economics
if,
if
somebody
is
going
to,
if
somebody's
going
to
raise
their
rents,
10
or
20
percent
a
year
or
some
people
are
have
had
more
between
now
and
november,
nothing
is
to
stop
a
landlord
from
doubling
that
right.
G
But
if
we,
if
we
put
this
on
the
ballot,
even
if
it's
approved
in
november
between
now
and
november,
landlords
could
do
whatever
they
want.
So
if
they
think
that
this
is
coming,
they'll,
just
double
their
increase
and
then
it'll
put
more
people
on
the
street,
hurt
more
people
and
then,
after
it's
over
12
months
later
we're
going
to
have
more
people
on
the
street,
because
they're
going
to
raise
the
rates
by
double,
maybe
again,
and
so
it
seems
to
me
that
it
just
exacerbates
the
problem.
G
F
Is
correct,
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
there
is
a
bill
right
now
working
its
way
through
the
legislature
to
remove
that
one-year
limitation
that
has
been
attempted
a
few
times
before
and
it
has
failed
in
the
legislature.
So
I
don't
know
whether
it
will
pass
this
time,
but
that
would
get
rid
of
the
one
year.
G
Several
my
colleagues
have
talked
about
preemptions
in
the
past
and
we're
very
frustrated
when
people
say
why
are
trees
torn
down
and
we
say
the
state
has
stopped
us.
Why
is
it
that
you
guys
can't
pass
a
multi-year
rent
cap
because
the
state's
stopping
us,
even
if
we
put
this
on
the
ballot,
there's
no
there's?
No,
nothing
that
we
can
do
to
prohibit
rates
from
being
increased
before
and
after
and
this
could
be
a
disaster
for
people
who
can
barely
afford
to
pay
rent
right
now,
as
I
see
it,.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair,
and
it's
interesting.
You
know.
I
do
think
that
in
effect,
there
is
some
reason
there
that
the
that
establish
state
law.
H
It
may
not
be
a
formal
preemption,
but
it
is
an
effective
preemption
towards
doing
anything
that
is
effective
when,
when
I
read
about
this
one
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty
dollar
in
effect
cap
that
that
it
wouldn't,
even
if
we
were
to
move
forward
with
something
that,
let's
take
aside,
all
the
legal
entanglements
that
that's
just
set
that
aside,
if
we
were
to
only
deal
with
rents
below
one
thousand
one
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty
the
the
the
applicability
and
effectiveness
of
it
at
best
at
best,
would
be
very,
very
limited
from
what
I
understand.
H
I
think
further
research
needs
to
be
done
in
this,
but
I
think
I
think
what
what
is
obvious
here
is,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
we
are
in
effect
preempted
or
whatever
word.
You
want
to
use
that,
and
we
all
all
seven
of
us
agree
on
something
that
is
very
open
and
obvious,
which
is
that
there
is
a
lot
of
pain
out
there.
H
There
is
amazing,
historic,
brutal
pain
that
is
out
there
with
people
getting
imagine,
you're
earning
10,
11,
12,
13,
14
15
an
hour
right,
25
30
000
a
year
and
your
rank
gets
increased
your
rank,
it's
increased
10
12
of
your
gross
pre-tax
income,
that's
out
of
control,
and
this
is
for
housing,
we're
not
talking
about
the
cost
of
a
luxury.
This
is
for
basic
housing.
H
So
so
I
I
think
it's
important
that
we
we
see
what
we
can
do
and
and
what
not
and
that
we
do
it
in
a
robust
way.
I
know
last
week,
councilman
dingfelder
who's,
not
here
today,
move
forward
with
some
potential
motions
addressing
some
issues.
I
think
the
way
I
look
at
the
housing
crisis
is,
we
need
to
have
what
I
call
the
the
emergency
care
right,
that
a
patient
goes
to
the
hospital
and
says
I
need
that
triage
care
right
here
right
now.
H
We
got
to
look
at
that
and
things
that
we
can
do
right
here
right
now
that
are
going
to
be
effective
and
a
lot
of
council
members
have
been
very
strong
on
those
immediate
triage
type
issues,
and
then
we
need
to
look
at
long
term
with
regards
to
planning
so
that
we
encourage
planning
developments
that
support,
affordable
housing
throughout
our
city,
so
they're,
both
things
that
we
have
to
do,
but
I
want
to.
I
want
to
be
able
to
focus
on
the
things
that
we're
able
to
do.
H
We
live
in
florida
right,
which
is,
which
is
what
I
would
for,
like
he's
better
term
a
conservative
state
and-
and
there
are
entanglements
that
have
been
put
on
us
by
the
legislature
for
a
very
very
long
time
with
things
like
this,
we
are
going
to
analyze
those
entanglements
and
we
have
to
get
through
to
to.
You
know,
pass
something
that
would
be
effective,
but
but
I
want
to
focus
on
the
things
that
we
can
do,
because
there
is
a
lot
that
we
can
do
to
to
address
this
brutal
crisis.
H
Now
you
know
it's
going
on
through
all
all
of
our
country
with
regards
to
property
rate
increases,
but
it's
particularly
acute
and
unique
to
florida
and
it's
especially
unique
and
acute
to
the
tampa
bay
area.
As
we
know,
with
rent
prices
and
and
property
prices
going
up,
25
26
over
the
last
year,
that's
a
brutal
hit
to
everyday
working
families
who
have
dealt
with
you
know
two
years
of
covid
who
are
dealing
with
general
inflation
at
seven
percent,
continued
skyrocketing
health
care
costs.
H
Right
now
we
may
see
working
families
lose
the
earned
income
tax
credit,
the
expand,
the
refundable
tax,
credit
expansion
and
so
and
protections
under
medicaid.
I
think
there's
10
to
15
million
families
nationally
to
use
it.
So
this
is
in
the
middle
of
a
storm,
so
we're
trying
to
see
what
we
can
do,
but
I
think
we
all
recognize
that
it
is
a
brutal
crisis.
So
thank
you.
I
I
Okay,
car
insurance
rates
are
very
expensive
in
tampa
because
of
fraud
because
of
other
things,
because
whatever
car
insurance
gas
is
expensive,
food
is
expensive.
Inflation
is
affecting
everything
and
housing.
The
most
important
thing
right
next
to
food
and
good
health
is
out
of
control.
I've
looked
at
different
numbers
since
the
beginning
of
2021.
I
To
now,
where
housing
costs
have
increased
25
to
30
percent
depends
what
you
read:
I've
read
24
over
31,
but
one
of
the
fastest
rise
in
the
in
the
entire
country,
and,
yes,
we
call
ourselves
tampa
bay
and
we
have
a
lot
of
good
things
going
for
us,
but
for
the
basic
core
fundamentals,
which
again
is
housing
housing,
the
people
in
this
community
people
that
have
either
lived
here,
their
entire
lives
that
are
struggling
to
afford
to
live
in
the
city
or
people
that
are
moving
here
and
they
are
barely
able
to
make
rent
or
so
much
of
their
paycheck
is
going
to
rent.
I
I
can
understand
a
landlord
raising
the
rent,
maybe
three
to
five
percent
a
year.
I
know
that,
there's
no
cap,
everything
that
you've
mentioned
already.
You
know
1977
and
nothing
has
this
and
the
books
and
the
state
and
the
preemption
and
everything.
But
you
have
the
greedy
some
greedy
property
owners.
I
mean
one
lady
came
earlier
and
her
rent
went
up.
I
think
500
a
month
where
wages
are
not
going
up
to
match
that
I
can
talk
about
minimum
wage.
I
I
can
talk
about
since
1970,
because
I've
studied
that
far
back
the
cost
of
living
in
the
last
52
years
has
not
matched
rate
increases
in
in
wages.
You
know
the
middle
minimum
wage
should
be
I've
calculated
different
numbers,
but
it's
nowhere.
I
What
it
is
now
is
nowhere
near
where
it
should
be.
While
everything
has
gotten
more
expensive,
people
are
still
getting
paid
too
little.
I
know
landlords
and
property
owners.
That
say
I
have
great
tenants.
Why
would
I
want
to
raise
their
rents
and
hurt
them
and
others
that
say
they
sign
the
lease
they
sign?
The
contract
and
they'll
raise
the
500
600
a
month
and
they
don't
care
and
others
that
say:
okay
they'll
stay
within
a
five
percent
margin.
You
know
that's
their
personal
choice.
I
You
know,
I
share
different
values:
I'm
not
a
landlord,
I'm
not
a
property
owner,
but
if
I
were
in
that
position
and
I
owned
properties
outright
and
I
was
able
to
keep
things
affordable,
I
would
instead
of
going
by
how
the
market
dictates.
I
understand
the
demand
is
there,
but
at
the
same
time
people
have
mentioned
robles
park.
People
have
mentioned
other
public
housing
projects
that
are
being
demolished
and
people
are
being
displaced
because
we
have
a
housing
shortage.
I
Where
are
we
going
to
put
these
people,
people
that
will
be
homeless
if
not
they're,
very
close
to
becoming
homeless?
Because,
again,
you
know
what
they
earn
on
top
of
how
expensive
living
is
in
general,
here
they're
getting
burdened
by
just
having
a
place,
you
know
roof
over
their
heads,
people
that
have
roommates
and
they're
sharing
bedrooms
and
whatever
it
is
to
keep
costs
down.
You
know
I
mean
how
can
we?
I
How
can
we
say
that
you
know
things
are
great
in
tampa,
which
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
good
things
going
for
us,
but
at
the
same
time,
the
basic,
the
foundation
housing,
keeping
people
in
our
community
off
the
streets.
I
mean
again.
If
this
is
not
an
emergency,
then
I
don't
know
what
is
I
mean?
We
have
people
on
the
verge
of
homelessness.
We've
heard
just
a
handful
of
stories
and
we'll
be
hearing
more.
I
have
people
in
my
family
that
rent
and
I
worry
about
them.
I
I
rent
and
again
you
know
I
mean
the
landlord
can
do
whatever
councilman
carlson
mentioned.
You
know
if
we
do
something
and
we
put
it
in
a
special
election
or
on
the
next
ballot
at
the
next
election.
In
the
meantime,
there
are
people
that
they
can
raise
the
rents
as
they
please
without
a
cap
to
say:
well,
we
raise
it
now
we
protect
ourselves
and
the
demand
is
so
high.
Somebody
is
willing
to
pay
for
it.
I
I
Just
for
the
sake
of
raising
the
rents,
I
would
ask
them
to
to
have
a
heart
to
be
more
compassionate
and
because
I
mean
there's
so
many
situations
and
so
many
stories
and
again
so
many
people
on
the
verge
of
homelessness
and
it's
such
a
such
an
important
discussion
and
topic
that
it
can't
be
ignored
and
I'm
running
out
of
time.
Thank
you.
K
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
First
of
all,
tampa
is
not
unique
in
any
of
these
circumstances.
This
is
a
countrywide
phenom.
That's
happening.
Tampa
is
more
in
the
spotlight
because
of
the
cost
of
the
influx
of
individuals
who
have
come
in
and
moved
in
and
buy
something
that
for
us
was
unimaginable,
but
when
they
sold
something
for
twice
the
price
and
they
bought
something
here
for
half
the
price.
I
thought
they
had
a
fantastic
opportunity
and
I'm
talking
about
something:
that's
worth:
30
million
somewhere,
it's
worth
11
million
here.
J
So
when
they
sell
a
house
somewhere
for
a
million
and
a
half
they
buy
one
for
half
a
million.
There
was
a
250
000
that
causes
the
monopoly
to
go
up
everything
around
it
goes
up
not
too
many
years
ago.
You
could
buy
a
lot,
not
in
all
the
districts
of
city
of
tampa,
but
certainly
where
I
live,
for
about
25
000,
that
same
lot
today,
depending
on
where
you're
at
in
that
same
district
that
I
live
in,
is
between
150
to
200
000.
J
So
it
ain't
not
only
the
building.
It
is
the
amount
of
dirt
that's
available
for
you
to
have
a
building
and
if
you're
in
the
market-
and
you
you
realize,
what's
going
on
you,
you
have
people
calling
all
the
time.
Look
if
you
want
to
sell
your
own
house
and
when
you
get
to
be
my
age,
they
think
you're
going
to
die
so
that
everybody
wants
to
come
on
and
we're
going
to
see.
If
you
want
to
buy
out
right
now,
I
must
get
five
or
six
quotes
from
on
my
own.
J
E
J
Going
to
tell
you
just
like
it
is,
I
got
stopped
by
a
lady
the
other
day
and
I'm.
This
is
a
true
story
and
I
I
don't
want
to
tell
you
who
she
is
at
walmart
and
she
said.
Are
you,
mr
miranda?
I
said
no,
I'm
charlie
miranda.
Mr
miranda
was
my
father
and
we
started
talking.
She
said
I
need
some
help.
I
said
what
is
your
help?
J
She
said,
I
made
a
mistake
and
I
got
a
reverse
mortgage
and
that's
another
problem.
We
have
in
society
because
what
that
does
is
not
only
capture,
I
think
the
interest
rate
I
know
from
12
to
18
percent
or
something
like
that,
and
then
they
keep
adding
every
month
by
the
time
you
get
to
the
point
you're
paying.
If
you
get
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
loan
by
the
time
you
pass
away,
that's
the
house
is
worth
300.
J
you
pass
away,
150,
not
only
have
they
get
all
the
loan,
they
make,
the
other
150..
So
what
it
is
is
just
a
hardship
and
families
have
got
to
talk
to
family
members.
I
think
that's
one
of
the
problems
we
have
when
you
have
a
problem,
discuss
it.
First
of
all,
with
your
family
see
if
anybody
wants
to
come
in
and
help
that's
number
one
I've
been
there.
I
know
the
next
thing
is
when
appropriate,
rents
and
three
percent
increase
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that.
J
The
cost
of
living
that
80
percent
of
the
cost
of
living
is
what
they're
talking
about.
What
I
read
there
I
assume,
and
then
whichever
is
the
lore
of
the
two
either
the
three
percent
or
eight
percent
of
the
cost
of
living,
is
what
they're
talking
about
a
rent
increase.
However,
that
has
to
come
with
a
lot
of
other
things
involved.
J
The
pricing
now
just
a
repair
roof
on
a
two
by
four
shingles
went
up
like
20
30
40
feet,
you
can
buy
a
2x4
when
I
was
building
them
for
2.99
now,
they're,
almost
ten
dollars,
one
or
two
by
four
eight
foot
long
times
have
changed.
That
doesn't
mean
that
people
do
need.
They
need
more
help
now
than
ever
before,
but
is
it
legal
for
us
to
do
this?
J
I
don't
mind
taking
my
neck
out
and
doing
something,
but
I
got
to
have
some
something
to
do
the
legality
of
the
right
to
do
it.
I
I
whether
listen
we're
in
a
different
world
today
and
the
people
need
more
help
than
ever
before,
and
I
just
come
up
at
the
elevator,
and
I
saw
full
the
second
floor
is
full
of
people
that
have
problems
and
that's
what
they're
here,
for
they
want
to
hear
how
and
how
which
way
we
can
help,
and
I'm
wanting
to
hear
what
everyone
has
to
say.
J
So
we
can
come
to
a
united
consensus
of
what's
going
to
happen.
Most
contracts
on
individuals
that
have
housing
or
apartments
have
a
two
to
three
percent
increase,
but
the
problem
is:
they
have
a
house
that
they
can
sell
today
or
an
apartment
building
they
can
sell
today
for
the
upswing
they
don't
need,
they
can
sell
it
today
and
cash
out
and
retire,
but
that's
not
the
answer
either,
because
the
next
guy
who
buys
it
or
the
person
who
buys
through
a
company
who
buys
it
it's
going
to
double
the
rent
there's.
J
B
B
B
B
We
can't
be
cowards
this
council,
no
matter
what
nobody
else.
Does
this
council
can't
be
cowards?
You
hear
me
say
it
all
the
time
if
mr
dean
fell,
I
was
here
he
says
you
know,
people
sue
us
all
the
time.
Why
are
we
so
afraid
of
a
lawsuit?
I
get
that
the
city
doesn't
want
to
be
liable
for
things,
but
it's
the
people's
money.
B
B
B
B
B
And
it
saddens
me,
I
that
I
had
a
magic
wand
to
make
it
go
away
right,
quick,
mr
brandon,
because
you
see
the
multitude
of
people
that
are
getting
non-renewals
of
their
apartment
complexes.
Not
only
news.
People
have
been
good
renters,
but
greed
kicks
in
mr
miranda.
Money
money,
money
talk
sometimes.
B
B
What
I
hate
to
keep
hearing
is
when
developers
I
I
had
a-
I
had
a
ride-along
several
developers.
Yesterday
they
beg
councilman.
Can
you
go
and
just
show
us?
The
city
show
us
your
ear
area
and
I
go
out
and
they
look
at
all
underdeveloped
property,
mr
randall
city,
or
torn
down
places
that
are
just
sitting.
B
B
These
are
the
things
that
should
be
affordable
housing,
because
if
it's
city
owned
it
should
all
be
affordable.
It's
city
owned,
we
should
be
building.
We
should
be
the
builders
in
developers
to
build,
giving
those
incentives.
I
keep
hearing
all
the
time
from
major
developers
in
the
city
council.
Everyone
blames
us,
it's
not
our
fault.
What
it
is
your
fault?
No,
it's
not
our
fault.
The
city
doesn't
have
a
plan.
B
When
we
come
to
them,
we
have
to
kind
of
figure
out,
they
don't
have
a
study
plan,
so
we
come
and
we
know
what
to
do.
That's
what
I
they
tell
me
something
different.
So
I
don't
know
who
to
believe
we'll.
We
love
the
doing
center.
We
love
it.
We
can.
We
can
take
this
back,
we'll
do
this
switch.
It
bought
a
fridge
and
trade,
but
there's
no
plan.
They
say
the
city
has
no
plan.
B
B
B
B
People
are
hungry,
I'm
hungry.
We
know
what
we
have
to
do.
Let
the
voters
decide
they've
got
to
wait.
They
understand
that
we
can't
do
anything
right
now.
It
takes
four
or
five
more
months.
We
can't
do
anything,
we're
tired,
but
they
can't
say
this
counselor
didn't
do
anything
to
try
to
stop
the
bleeding.
B
B
B
B
G
Yeah-
and
I
didn't
get
this
sorry
to
go
after
you,
but
I
didn't
make
much
of
a
statement
earlier
it
if
you
look
at
where
we
are.
Why
are
we
here,
because
the
last
administration
tore
down
2
000,
affordable
homes
instead
of
building
new
ones
and
had
no
plans
to
replace
them?
They
implemented
a
program
that
people
call
the
white
washing
of
tampa
to
try
to
kick
people
out
of
the
city.
G
The
other
reason
it's
happening
is
that
we
have
an
unprecedented
number
of
people
moving
from
other
states,
especially
states
where
their
rent
is
high
and
and
they
and
the
the
home
prices
are
high.
It's
happening
all
over
the
state
of
florida
and
we
could
talk
about
why
that's
happening,
but
housing
prices
across
the
state
are
skyrocketing
and
we
unfortunately
we're
not
a
country.
We
can't
block
our
borders.
G
We
can't
tell
people
not
to
move
here
and
pay
high
prices
for
that,
but
as
as
those
things
are
happening,
we
do
have
to
have
solutions,
and
I
want
all
the
people
on
the
second
floor
and
everywhere
else
know.
This
city
council
has
been
working
really
hard
for
three
years.
It's
not
like
we've
been
sitting
back
doing
nothing.
G
This
is
something
that
we
heard
loud
and
clear,
and
many
of
us
have
been
working
on
for
20
30
years
individually
to
try
to
solve
these
problems
and
it's
about
building
communities,
helping
alleviate
poverty,
helping
people,
transition
entrepreneurship
and
one
of
the
things
I've
been
pushing
for
is
equitable
economic
development,
which
we
still
don't
have.
You
know,
as
I
said
over
and
over
again,
the
edc
is
about
letting
30
people
in
who
pay
30
000
and
are
friends
with
each
other.
G
We've
got
to
have
equitable
economic
development
where
everybody
is
included,
and
we
don't
have
that
yet,
but
we've
implemented
it
when
we
started
three
years
ago
and
we've
got
to
dig
out
of
it
and
in
the
meantime
we
had
covet,
and
now
we
have
this,
this
vast
influx
of
people,
but
I
want
everybody
to
know
we
all
every
one
of
us
is
committed
to
this,
where,
if
you
look
at
our
numbers,
go
to
tampa
scorecard.com,
our
are
our
rates
of
disparity
between
men
and
women
and
blacks
and
whites
and
others
is
horrible.
G
Our
poverty
rates
are
horrible.
The
fact
that
the
middle
class
shrank
in
most
the
10
last
10
years
is
horrible.
This
is
holding
tampa
back
from
developing.
We
cannot
and
it's
inhumane.
We
have
to
change
this,
but
what
we
also
have
to
do
is
not
do
what's
politically
expedient
and
vote
on
a
proposal.
That's
going
to
hurt
poor
people.
We
cannot
do
that.
It's
our
it's
our
requirement.
You
know
in
in
in
health
care,
I
think
they
say.
First
do
no
harm.
G
We
cannot
allow
that
to
happen.
We
need
a
policy,
that's
actually
going
to
work,
to
alleviate
the
problem.
We
don't
need
a
headline
with
a
title
of
something
that
we
think
is
going
to
work
or
the
people
are
going
to
work.
One
of
the
one
of
the
policies
that
people
recommend
is
give
six-month
notice
before
raising
your
rent,
that
we
put
more
money
into
affordable
housing
change.
The
zoning
change
the
parking
there
are
all
kinds
of
great
sleep:
bring
the
bring
the
private
sector
in
change
the
way
the
tampa
housing
authority
works.
G
There
are
all
kinds
of
possibilities
of
things
that
we
can
do,
but
we
need
the
real
solutions
on
the
table
that
are
actually
going
to
make
a
difference.
If
we
pass
this-
and
this
is
in
place
for
one
year-
it's
going
to
harm
so
many
people
and
put
so
many
on
the
streets,
it's
going
to
be
terrible.
It's
going
to
exacerbate
the
problem.
Who
cares
about
the
lawsuits?
G
That's
that's
even
worse,
but
the
political
hit
today
is
that
a
whole
bunch
of
people
want
us
to
pass
this,
and
we
know
that
this
is
going
to
hurt
the
public.
So
why
would
we
ever
pass
something
that's
going
to
hurt
people
who
are
already
hurting
out
there.
We
know
there's
a
problem.
We
we're
committed
to
solving
this
problem,
but
it
takes
a
very
complicated
series
of
solutions,
not
one
simple,
quick
hit
that
that
looks
good
on
paper
and
will
get
us
a
headline.
Thank
you,
sir.
H
And
thank
you
very
much
and
I
appreciate
everybody's
comments.
I
I
think
everybody
has
been
very
thoughtful,
etc.
You
know
my
my
big
thing
is:
is
that
if
we
and
I'm
not-
you
know
philosophically
opposed
to
the
idea
of
let's
say
you
know
intervening
in
in
the
market
on
issues
involving
whether
it's
rents
or
wages,
we
have
a
minimum
wage,
for
example,
in
1938
when
that
was
passed.
That
was
quite
radical.
H
Wasn't
it
to
say
you
can't
pay
somebody
less
than
x,
y
and
z,
but
my
big
concern
with
this
is
that
if
we
go
forward,
councilman
carlson
talked
about
some
detrimental
issues.
That
may
happen,
but
also,
which
is
what
are
going
to
be
the
benefits
of
it.
And
are
we
stating
that
in
a
proposal
like
this
there's
more
benefit
than
there
actually
is
what
I'm
hearing
from
people
is.
They
want
us
to
invest
more
in
affordable
housing.
H
They
want
us
to
give
more
protections,
and
if
we're
talking
about
something
that
has
to
be
renewed
every
single
year,
that
is
very
limited
in
scope
to
to
rents.
I
believe
it
is
over
about
1100
or
under
1100.
You
know
we're
gonna
be
potentially
again.
This
is
something
that
we
have
to
apply.
Scrutiny
to.
We
are
potentially
making
promises
that
are
not
gonna,
be
consistent
with
what
the
payoff
on
the
best
day
is,
and
and
that's
something
that
we
have
to
apply
scrutiny
to,
I'm
not
afraid
of
of
going
out
there
and
saying
hey.
H
Look
here
I
stand.
This
is
where
I
am
I've
taken
votes
in
tampa
city
council
before
heck.
Just
a
couple
weeks
ago,
I
brought
back
the
tenant's
bill
of
rights
before
we
had
an
issue
on
the
cra
with
with
the
downtown
sierra
is
only
no
vote
on
it,
I'm
not
afraid
to
say,
hey
look
I
respectfully
disagree.
This
is
where
I'm
going
on
it,
but
on
the
other
hand,
we
shouldn't
necessarily
jump
to
something
right
that
is
going
to
have
a
very,
very
minimal
payoff
on
the
best
day
possible.
H
So
I
I
think
we
have
to
apply
a
great
deal
of
scrutiny
to
this,
as
well
as
look
at
robust
solutions
on
affordable
housing,
investments
and
other
safeguards
that
we
can
take
as
a
city
council.
So
again,
there's
been
a
lot
of
good
things
that
have
been
said
and
it
gives
us
a
lot
to
to
thoughtfully
digest,
in
my
opinion.
Thank
you,
sir.
I
You
know
I
appreciate
councilman
carlson's
comments
on
on
the
second
round,
you
know
and
why
he
would
not
support
something
I
can
understand.
I
can
understand
that
legal
costs
can
climb
through
the
roof
in
a
lawsuit
whatever
it
is.
Perhaps
I
know
that
this
will
be
discussed
in
a
little
bit
what
the
city
is
doing.
Beginning
march
1st
in
regards
to
rental
assistance,
deposit
assistance,
I
believe
or
you'll
go
into
further
details.
I
I
believe
it's
a
million
dollars
in
that
fund.
Perhaps
we
invest
more
in
that
fund
to
directly
help
people,
because
we
could
be
spending
another
million
dollars
in
legal
costs.
You
know
defending
a
lawsuit,
I
don't
know
I
mean
I
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
it
gets
into
the
six
seven
figures
easily,
so
I'll
again
wait
to
hear
what
council,
mr
chairman,
has
said,
he
would
propose
something
I'll
wait
to
hear
the
discussion
from
the
others
in
the
room
before
making
any
decision.
But
you
know
I've
shared
my
thoughts.
I
Councilman
miranda
has
shared
his
thoughts
and
very
eloquently.
You
know.
Tampa
is
not
a
unique
situation.
This
is
happening
all
across
the
country,
but
we're
here
as
tampa
city
council
we're
here.
You
know
in
our
role
of
of
leadership,
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
help.
So
I'm
just
going
to
again
wait
to
to
hear
all
the
discussions.
I
J
K
J
Money
in
the
cra
you
say
there
was
monies
and
other
things:
can
the
city
go
out
and
build
something
like
quasi
tampa
housing
authority
built
what
they
can
build
and
and
fund
something
that's
going
to
bring
500
800
a
thousand
available
units,
I'm
not
going
to
say
three
acres
is
going
to
support
that,
but
is
it
possible?
I
don't
know
I
don't.
No
one's
ever
asked
the
legal
department.
J
I
guess,
if
that's
possible
or
not,
so
those
are
the
things
that
could
be
just
out
of
the
of
the
conversation
we
had
here
that
I
imagine
that
might
be
available
if
it
can
be
done,
but
that
takes
over
a
year
and
a
half
by
the
time
you
get
all
the
hoops
done
and
the
building
up
and
running.
So
these
are
the
things
and
and
right
now
it's
needed
now.
J
B
Think
those
land
trusts
and
things
like
that-
I
know
the
cra
could
get
a
non-profit.
They
could
see
he's
working
on
being
being
a
non-profit
and
probably
can
do
some
things
in
that
manner.
We'll
let
housing
talk
to
that
in
a
few
minutes.
If
anyone
has
any
more
questions
for
legal,
mrs
edwards
is
coming
to
me.
They
have
a
situation
downstairs
and
they
need
five
minutes
real
quickly.
Mr
miranda,
so
any
more
questions
for
legal
before
we
get
into
the
housing
before
we
get
into
the
public
comment,
all
right,
miss
johnson!
B
E
E
E
L
L
B
M
M
We
have
our
rmap
program
which
stands
for
road
map,
and
it's
really
just
looking
at
rental
and
move-in
assistance
program,
looking
at
where
we
were
last
year
and
where
we
are
now,
we
certainly
were
a
lot
further.
Behind
last
year,
we've
looked
at
different
programs
to
help
to
address
the
need
that
we
have.
M
If
there's
anybody
who
maybe
has
come
and
said
they
can't
afford
that
rent
increase
help
us
to
get
to
those
individuals,
and
so
we
can
fill
that
gap
and
so
a
family's
not
given
30
days
to
move
because
they're
unable
to
then
afford
that
rent
increase
other
things
that
we've
looked
at
is
while
we
are
having
the
additional
cares
fund
in
we've
looked
at.
How
do
we
ask
the
federal
government
for
waivers
and
how
do
we
increase
what
we
incentivize
landlords
with,
and
so
we
looked
at
some
of
the
programs.
M
We've
put
some
funds
set
aside
to
incentivize
landlords
by
paying
maybe
five
times
the
deposit,
instead
of
just
the
first
and
last
month's
rent,
realizing
that
a
five
times
deposit
sometimes
is
a
lot
better
than
them
increasing
the
rent,
and
so
we've
really
been
doing
a
landlord
push
reaching
out
to
landlords
figuring
out
what
it
is
that
the
landlord
needs
to
keep
that
rent
at
an
affordable
rate.
And
so
we
continue
to
tweak
our
programs.
M
We
continue
to
look
and
strategize,
as
we
have
those
programs
going
through
that
program
for
our
map
is
set
to
launch.
On
march
1st,
we
have
not
had
general
funds
and
in
the
past
to
do
that,
so
we've
not
had
the
unrestricted
dollars
to
really
be
able
to
expand
those
programs,
and
so
we'll
be
looking.
A
family
could
potentially
get
up
to
seven
thousand
dollars.
B
My
only
question
is
that
the
way
things
are
happening
now,
it's
just
not
poor
people
that
might
need
assistance.
You
have
people
here.
I
have
tv
reporters
who've
been
crying
to
me
about
their
situation
as
well.
So
if
you're
saying
you're
as
pro,
I
want
to
make
sure
there's
a
program.
That's
going
to
be
able
to
fit
everybody,
and
we
know
we
always
have
that
marginalized
community
at
the
bottom.
But
everyone
is
complaining
about
the
rents
and
then
what
it
sounds
like
to
me.
It's
a
still
a
temporary
fix.
M
Right
and
that's
part
of
why
we
continue
to
strategize
and
look.
We
continue
to
have
public
input
meetings
to
listen
to
what
the
public
needs
to
listen
to
the
landlords
and
really
strategize
on
how
to
keep
this
affordability
issue
as
controlled
as
possible.
We
realize
that
it
is
sensitive
and
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
make
all
the
moves
at
the
same
time,
but
we
continue
to
address
what
we
have
in
front
of
us.
B
That's
my
only
concern
is
that
we'll
we
may
be
able
to
help
two
to
three
months,
but
after
that
diminishes
where
we
at
now,
because
money
may
be
exhausted.
Now,
when
we're
trying
to
that
money
could
all
be
exhausted,
so
still
we're
still
back
into
a
phase
of
moving
forward.
How
do
we
help
with
the
rent
increases
city
wide?
So
that's
my
only
concern,
but
I'm
glad
we're
looking
ahead
of
the
program,
but
I
don't
think
in
the
long
haul.
It's
really
going
to
help
the
need
that
the
people
are
talking
about
them.
M
And
just
for
clarification,
the
program
will
help
to
up
to
12
months.
So
we
don't
want
it
correct.
We
don't
want
someone
to
have
to
move
if
they
heard
that
they
have
a
rent
increase,
and
so,
if
someone's
going
to
move
in
or
they
already
live
in
somewhere
and
that
rent
increased
by
two
or
three
hundred
dollars,
we
want
to
be
able
to
assist
for
that
full
12
months,
so
that
they're
not
having
to
think
about
where
they're
going
to
go
three
months
down
the
line.
B
G
Yeah,
just
three
quick
things:
one
one
for
the
public,
in
addition
to
all
the
affordable
housing,
workforce,
housing,
equitable
economic
development,
other
policies,
we've
been
working
on
the
last
three
years.
This
council
also
worked
closely
with
the
interim
police
chief
butch
delgado
a
few
months
ago
to
get
rid
of
renting,
while
black,
which
was
just
a
horrific
program
that
that
I
think
everybody
agrees,
was
a
bad
idea
and
thanks
to
everyone
who
helped
us
get
rid
of
that.
But
I
should
mention
to
the
for
the
public.
G
Chaon
is
new
in
this
position.
How
long
have
you
been
there.
G
But
anyway
it's
it
she's.
Sorry
time
flies
faster
than
I
remember,
but
but
she's
she's
relatively
new
in
this
position
and
and
she
was
put
there
with
the
purpose
of
expanding
the
apartment
and
and
looking
at
all
the
different
possibilities
for
affordable
housing
and
and
could
you
just
I
don't
know
if
somebody
else
is
going
to
go
through
this.
But
if
not,
could
you
just
take
30
seconds
or
a
minute
and
just
tell
us,
you
know
how
you
change
the
staff,
how
you've
added
new
programs
how
you've
been
looking
for
grants.
G
M
We
are
for
the
rental
assistance
program,
I'll
start
with
that.
We
are
one
to
do
a
press
release.
Just
so
people
know
where
to
apply.
It
will
be
an
online
application
because
it's
on
restricted
dollars.
One
of
the
things
that
we
really
wanted
to
be
sensitive
about
is
not
having
the
same
barriers
that
federal
and
state
funds
would
include,
and
so
we're
going
to
reduce
those
barriers
for
any
family
who
wants
to
apply
and
we
have
really
restructured
restructured.
M
We
also
have
looked
at
our
public
service
team
that
really
is
going
to
look
at
the
different
services
to
help
people,
whether
it's
a
housing
specialist
to
help
them
find
affordable,
housing
throughout
the
city.
And
then
we
have
our
construction
team
that
we're
looking
at
unoccupied
rehab,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
preserving
units
that
are
also
affordable.
M
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
really
grateful
for
is
the
4
million
of
general
fund
dollars
that
we
have
been
able
to
receive
to
expand
the
programs.
Our
federal
and
state
programs
really
have
restricted
us
to
80
or
below.
We
realize
that
that
difference
sometimes
isn't
it's
not
a
whole
lot.
So
some
of
the
programs
that
we
have
now
a
single
individual
making
72
thousand
dollars
now
qualifies
for
our
program,
whereas
before
if
they
made
above
35
38
000,
they
they
would
not
qualify
for
our
program.
M
So
we've
continued
to
look
we're
looking,
always
looking
for
different
ways
to
structure.
As
far
as
new
construction
we've
done,
our
info
phase
2
gearing
up
for
our
info
phase
3
program
where
we'll
put
some
additional
single
family,
affordable
units,
and
so
we
we're
looking
at
all
the
different
tools
in
our
toolbox
right
now
to
expand,
affordable
housing.
B
All
right,
the
mr
elvis
has
said
that
I
guess
I
don't
know
if
something's
wrong
with
the
monitors
there,
but
they
want
us
to
speak
much
much
louder,
so
the
public
can
hear
a
lot
of
people
there.
So
let
me
share.
They
hear
everything
we're
talking
about.
Okay,.
H
Can
we
find
what
the
average
rent
is
in
in
the
city
of
tampa.
M
H
Okay,
great,
I
I'd
love
to
see
that
because
it
would
appear
that,
for
I
won't
repeat,
but
I'd
love
to
see
that
I'm.
B
J
Keep
in
mind
that
those
numbers
will
be
skewed
because,
as
we
have
heard
our
statesman
over
here
talking
about
how
many
renter
rental
properties
there
are,
let's
just
say
in
west
tampa
they're-
not
able
to
do
that.
So
you
may
have
somebody
paying
1500
and
then
in
a
accessory
structure.
Somebody
else
is
paying
800.
B
P
This
ship
good
afternoon,
council,
nicole
travis
administrator
for
development
and
economic
opportunity.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you
here
and
see
you
in
person
and
not
on
camera.
Just
a
quick
couple
notes
you
heard
from
kaon
talking
about
the
unrestricted
funds
and
how
important
that
is,
and
when
councilman
carlson
is
talking
about.
You
know,
people
that
are
still
have
decent
jobs,
but
are
still
struggling
to
pay
their
rent
and
news.
P
Reporters
that
are
you're
talking
to
those
unrestricted
funds
really
allows
us
to
help
that
population
and
where
we
could
use
our
federal
funding
for
the
more
vulnerable
or
80
and
below
so
just
understand
how
important
that
is
when
you
go
through
your
budgeting
process
of
how
important
that
is
to
expand
that
help.
The
other
thing
is,
I
don't
want
you
to.
P
I
think
you
should
acknowledge
some
of
the
things
that
you
do
have
in
control,
in
your
control
and
within
your
purview
that
does
affect
affordable
housing.
This
morning
you
heard
from
ms
feely
about
parking
requirements
and
some
other
changes.
All
those
things
have
effect,
just
like
councilman
carlson,
said
a
minute
ago
have
an
effect
on
affordable
housing.
We
are
using
all
of
our
city
assets
as
fast
as
we
can,
and
you
talk
about
capacity
and
how
fast
we
can
turn
things
out
using
the
assets
that
we
have
to
put
rfps
out.
P
Councilman
miranda
asked
if
the
city
can
be
a
landlord
and
I'll.
I
will
offer
to
you
that
it's
not
city
government's
place
to
really
be
a
landlord,
and
it's
too
much
but
to
the
extent
possible,
we
do
put
out
rfps,
and
then
we
put
deed
restrictions
on
that
property
to
make
sure
that
the
the
units
that
go
on
those
properties
remain
at
affordable
rents.
So
rome
yard
is
something
they'll
be
coming
to
you
soon
that
property
we
don't
just
convey
the
property.
P
We
put
deed
restrictions
on
the
property
through
long-term
leases
that
maintains,
that
has
to
keep
the
affordable
housing
unit.
So
that's
in
a
sense
how
we
are
participating
in
that
development
landlord
building.
We
could
build
affordable
housing
units,
but
we
will
do
it
at
a
great
subsidy
and
it's
going
to
cost
you
more
I'll.
Tell
you
just
from
past
experience
when
the
city
is
a
developer
on
any
project.
Usually
the
projects
increase
about
35
percent
just
because
they
know
that
they're
going
to
government.
P
It's
really
having
a
lot
of
different
housing
options,
and
so
staff
will
continue
to
bring
those
things
back
to
you
as
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
when
we
have
those
workshops
with
you
we'll
continue
moving
in,
and
I
think
you
should
give
yourselves
credit
for
making
those
incremental
changes
to
the
code
when
possible
to
help
with
the
accessibility
of
units
and
housing
choices.
Thank
you.
P
G
Just
for
the
public
sake,
I
want
to
say
that
miss
travis
is
just
on
board
a
couple
weeks
and
she
had
worked
in
tampa,
but
it
has
been
in
lakeland
and
worked
on
redevelopment
lakeland.
Obviously,
she
has
a
lot
of
great
ideas
for
affordable
housing,
but
but
we're
all
we're
going
to
work
with
her
also
on
equitable
economic
development.
G
In
this
community-
and
I
should
mention
another
thing-
home
ownership
rate,
65
percent
statewide,
home
ownership
rate,
saint
peter's,
58
tampa-
is
48
and
african-american
home
ownership
is
about
38
in
the
city
of
tampa.
It's
it's
despicable
that
our
numbers
are
so
bad,
but
we've
got
a
great
team.
That's
come
on
board
and
thanks
to
mayor
chief
of
staff
and
everyone,
and
for
council
putting
the
pressure
on
everybody
we're
working
toward
this,
and
we
really
need
the
community
to
partner
with
us.
G
The
community
has
great
ideas,
some
of
them,
you
all
in
the
community
study
ideas
that
we
might
not
see
and
bring
them
to
us.
Not
everyone
is
going
to
work,
but
we
want
to
look
at
all
of
them
because
we
want
to
put
the
best
ideas
to
work.
Thank
you.
B
Well,
I
think
that
this
council
did
a
great
thing,
because
I
kept
saying
that
we
had
to
have
non-subsidized
money.
This
calendar,
the
great
thing
that
we
pushed
that
issue
on
last
budget
make
sure
we
have
money
that
can
help
that
percentile,
which
is
being
left
out
a
lot.
So
we
get
to
put
that
to
use
I've.
You
know
looked
at
miss
travis
river,
they
talked
to
people
and
she
did
a
wonderful
job
over
in
lakeland
kind
of
spearheading.
Getting
that
thing
moving
over
there,
especially
with
our
over
there.
B
So
I'm
just
hoping
that
we
can
get
to
moving,
get
the
train
moving
real
fast
put
the
coal
on.
We
can
to
get
it
moving,
but
I
I
think
I've
had
some
several
conversations
with
her
and
some
of
the
things
we've
been
talking
about
she's
on
on
board
with
that
and
she
thinks
it
needs
to
be
done
and
changed.
So
I'm
happy
that
she
has
that
mindset
it's
good
to
have.
Somebody
can
work
with
you.
Thank
you
versus
against
you
all
right.
So
no
other!
No
other
comments
will
yes,
ma'am
clerk.
D
Q
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
misha,
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
central
florida,
jobs
with
justice
with
justice,
we're
a
coalition
of
worker-led
and
community-based
organizations
that
advocates
for
the
rights
of
working
people
in
the
entirety
of
central
florida,
including
the
city
of
tampa.
I
am
here
today
to
speak
on
rent
stabilization
throughout
the
region.
We
are
seeing
the
effects
of
climate
gentrification
for
those
unfamiliar.
That
is
the
term
for
when
the
impacts
of
climate
change
like
rising
sea
levels,
coastal
flooding
and
more
powerful
hurricanes
increase
real
estate
value
in
previously
undervalued,
but
resilient
areas.
Q
This
can
be
seen
clearly
in
east
tampa
and
in
the
area
of
progress
village,
where
residents
suffer
from
continuous
flooding
and
lack
the
resources
needed
to
move
from
the
area.
We
also
have
the
issue
of
uncontrolled
rent
increases,
which
are
most
enacted
by
large
investment
companies
like
puritan
place,
llc,
which
is
the
top
filer
of
evictions
in
the
entirety
of
the
tampa
bay
region.
Q
This
is
something
that
council
hasn't
mentioned
yet,
but
it
is
a
real
issue
for
the
region.
Huge
corporations
that
are
not
based
here
and
do
not
have
a
tie
to
our
community
are
buying
up
properties
to
rent
for
very
high
profits.
This
raises
the
overall
amounts
of
rentals
throughout
the
region.
Their
ability
to
put
their
own
profit
over
the
livelihood
of
families
that
have
lived
in
our
beautiful
city
for
generations
needs
to
be
considered
here.
People
should
come
first.
Q
Q
It
is
also
starting
to
affect
professionals
like
our
teachers,
nursing
home
workers,
law
enforcement
officers
and
many
others,
professionals
and
working
people
that
our
city
desperately
needs.
Thank
you
all
for
taking
a
needed
first
step
with
the
tenant
bill
of
rights
ordinance
last
week,
and
thank
you
for
hearing
the
community
members
here
today.
Q
Rent
stabilization
will
not
solve
all
of
the
issues
facing
tenants
today.
This
is
a
very
complex
issue
to
address.
It
is,
however,
another
much
needed
step
in
the
right
direction.
Please
do
not
wait
for
a
perfect
plan
to
take
action
for
the
people.
Please
continue
to
discuss
and
make
steps
in
the
right
direction.
Q
Subsidizing
rents
that
aren't
affordable
is
a
great
resource
for
some,
but
it
is
not
sustainable
unless
the
rates
are
not
continuing
to
jump
by
hundreds
of
dollars
whenever
the
landlord
or
corporation
decides
that
they
can
get
more
from
those
already
struggling
central
florida.
Jobs
with
justice
cares
deeply
about
the
livelihoods
and
welfare
of
working
people,
as
the
tampa
bay
times
has
reported.
The
region
is
currently
in
a
dire
crisis
and
we
are
on
track
to
become
more
rent
and
burden
than
los
angeles,
as
council
has
already
named.
B
B
A
A
A
Lord
is
king
defended
the
fatherless,
the
oppression,
the
oppressed
people
of
this
land.
No
one
is
faithful.
Everyone
lies
to
their
navel
flattering
lips
and
lies
harvard's
inceptions
in
their
heart,
silenced,
all
flattering
lips
of
the
sex
of
thy
self
deception.
Who
is
lord
over
us?
The
poor,
plundereth
love
justice.
Uprightness
will
see
his
face.
A
A
A
Rent
freeze,
warrior,
take
moriatorium
for
10
years
housing
disaster
now
for
the
count
of
hillsboro
and
surrounding
counties.
The
state
of
florida
and
the
u.s
shall
follow
two
february,
the
24th
we
are
covered
for
rent
stabilization
now,
hence,
force
began
to
begin
a
housing
disaster
emergency.
Thank.
A
To
be
true,
housing
justice
give.
B
O
O
I
am
hoping
that
this,
our
city
council,
will
take
heat
and
pass
on
the
message
that
I
will
let
our
voters
be
with
the
rest
of
the
stabilization.
D
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
in
a
public
comments
or
participate.
I
should
say
we
all
know
the
issue
at
hand.
We
also
know
it's
urgency.
We
recently
saw
in
st
petersburg
where
you
know
the
attorney.
Let
them
know
the
state
laws.
Preempting,
rent
control
makes
it
incredibly
difficult
to
implement
and
defend
and
it
could
cost
the
city
millions.
D
I
want
to
compel
each
of
you,
as
elected
officials,
to
hear
us
but
also
respond
as
leaders
today,
because
I
believe
we've
already
heard
some
of
what
legal
has
to
say
about
the
matter
and
it
would
sound
somewhat
the
same
in
saint
pete.
They
said
it
could
cost
millions
of
dollars.
Can
I
tell
you
it's
going
to
cost
millions?
If
we
do
nothing
anyway,
doing
nothing
will
cost
us
millions
of
dollars,
but
blood
is
on
our
hands.
Doing
nothing
will
cost
us
regardless.
D
You
know,
city
attorneys,
they
do
a
good
job
with
pointing
out
costs
and
the
burden
of
proof,
and
all
of
that
we
live.
We
see
it.
We've
heard
all
florida
weigh
in
on
this
crisis.
We've
all
heard
the
same
cry.
This
is
a
state
of
emergency
count.
These
calls
doing
nothing,
gentlemen
will
cause
multiple
thousands
of
working
people
working
people
to
live
in
their
cars,
they'll
be
living
in
parks,
they'll,
be
living
in
hotels,
they'll,
be
leaving
illegally
in
they'll,
be
living
in
places
and
they're
working.
That's
unacceptable.
D
To
most
of
us
doing,
nothing
is
going
to
increase
health
hazards
in
our
city,
it'll
increase
crime
levels,
it'll
increase
domestic
violence;
it
will
decrease.
However,
the
number
of
voters
we
don't
care
who's
in
office
when
we're
living
in
a
park.
We
really
don't
care
who's
in
office
when
we're
in
our
cars
voting
didn't
help
us
get
out
of
this
situation,
so
we
can't
afford
that
expense
as
a
city.
D
So
I'm
going
to
leave
you
with
a
question:
do
you
want
to
spend
millions
of
dollars
defending
us,
or
do
you
want
to
spend
millions
of
dollars
on
homelessness
and
the
increase
of
crime
and
the
increase
of
the
issues
with
mental
affect
mental
illness,
because
we've
been
denied
our
human
right,
which
is
housing?
We
want
rent
stabilization
and
we
want
it
now.
Thank
you.
D
So
again
that's
kela
mccaskill
with
the
center
for
economic
development,
and
I
have
a
group
where
we
teach
children
in
the
city
at
lena
bean
academy.
I
thank
them
for
participating
today,
but
this
group
they've
learned
much
about
housing,
education.
They
learn
about
real
estate.
We
teach
them
some
of
the
fundamentals
of
development
and
they're
very
familiar
with
what's
taking
place
and
we're
saying
that,
regardless
of
what
we
hear
from
legal
and
regardless
of
what
they
say,
the
limitations
are
we're
asking
you
to
respond.
D
Knowing
it's
our
request
that
you
put
the
stakeholders,
the
voters,
those
those
of
us,
the
constituents.
That's
impacted
by
this
crisis,
give
us
the
chance
to
fight.
You
may
not
have
any
jurisdiction
or
you
can't
do
anything
about
what's
taking
place,
but
I
do
believe
that
you
can
help
us
join
in
with
us
and
help
us
get.
This
thing
declared
an
emergency.
We
want
to
freeze
rents
for
the
next
12
to
24
months,
which
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
stabilize
where
it
is
now
and
prevent
unrealistic.
D
D
A
Good
afternoon
city
councilman,
I
think
all
of
you
know
chloe
coney,
the
woman
that
wear
many
hats
and
I
have
over
30
years
experience.
I've
seen
every
situation
that
our
community
needs
safe
and
affordable
housing,
but
today
is
the
worst.
We
are
in
a
housing
crisis.
You
know
we're
receiving
calls
residents
being
evicted
every
day.
Local
residents
can't
buy
houses
because
corporations
are
buying
the
homes.
A
A
450
million
dollar
housing
trust
fund
and
they
started
out
with
a
campaign
housing
for
all.
His
coalition
has
80
non-profits,
60
mission-driven
private
sector
members,
working
together
with
their
city
government,
and
we
need
a
coalition
like
this
in
tampa
campaign
housing
for
all.
We
will
start
with
rent
stabilization,
which
you're
hearing
now
we
need
now,
but
we
need
to
look
at
all
housing
solutions
like
he
told
us
last
week
about
the
tax
credits
with
apartments
after
40
years.
They
come
available
to
sell
well
in
dc.
A
A
The
working
people
with
moderate
income
would
not
be
able
to
live
in
the
city
of
tampa.
Your
answer
to
this
housing
crisis
will
tell
us
we
need
political
will
to
housing.
For
all.
I
want
to
say
to
you
thank
you
for
listening
to
us
today
and
again.
We
want
to
work
with
you
to
get
housing
for
all
and
we
need
to
start
with
rent
stabilization
so
again
thank
y'all
from
this
senior
season
practitioner
of
doing
housing
and
economic
development.
So
thank
you.
L
Now,
as
many
of
you
may
know,
hillsborough
county
continues
to
lead
the
state
with
the
most
perpetually
lowest
performing
schools,
many
of
which
are
right
here
in
the
city
of
tampa.
Now
we
can
all
agree
that
there
are
many
different
reasons
for
these
schools
being
lower
performing,
but
there's
one
reason
that
we
cannot
ignore
and
that's
housing
and
the
mobility
of
families.
L
You
see
families
are
moving
from
house
to
house
apartment
to
apartment,
couch
to
couch
many
times
throughout
the
school
year,
creating
a
great
disruption
in
our
children's
educations
process,
and
so
we
have
to
address
it.
This
is
going
to
be
the
failure
of
our
city,
and
so
I
do
understand.
Actually
let
me
give
you
an
example.
James
elementary
in
east
tampa
is
our
lowest
performing
school
in
hillsborough
county.
L
L
I
want
you
to
pull
out
your
maps.
I
want
you
to
draw
a
three
to
five
mile
radius
around
every
low
performing
school
in
the
city
then
draw
another
circle
around
all
the
high
pockets
of
poverty,
low-income
marginalized
communities,
where
those
circles
may
overlap,
draw
a
big
red
circle,
and
you
should
call
these
areas
your
stabilization
zones.
These
are
areas
where
we
need
to
stabilize
our
communities.
L
L
We
need
to
build
upon
a
strong
and
better
city
of
tampa
every
child,
no
matter
the
race,
ethnicity,
affluence
deserve
access
to
equitable
and
strong
education
here
in
the
city
of
tampa,
and
this
is
a
call
for
urgency
on
their
behalf,
no
matter
what
you
do
just
do
something
our
future
really
depends
on
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
Good
afternoon
city
council
good
afternoon,
ernest
coney,
with
the
cdc
at
tampa
here
to
just
sound
the
alarm
again,
if
you
think
about
where
we're
at
the
term
tampanian
is
now
an
endangered
species,
we're
in
a
crisis
the
days
of
having
young
folks
come
back
to
tampa
because
they
can
afford
rent
or
afford
a
home
and
build
their
families.
Here
are
long
gone
unless
we
do
something
we
have
to
do
something.
E
The
days
of
having
our
young
professionals
go
to
usf
university
of
south
florida
and
start
their
lives
here
are
over
because
tampanians
are
an
endangered
species.
We
have
to
do
something.
We
know
we
have
to
do
something.
I
do
not
envy
you
sitting
there
on
the
on
the
dice.
We
have
to
do
something.
We
know
that
doing
nothing
has
has
led
us
to
a
point
where
we've
had
50
increases
in
rent
as
well
as
ownership
cost.
So
we
know
the
cost
of
doing.
Nothing
has
cost
us
something,
but
we
also
want
to
be
solutions
oriented.
E
We
know
that
rent
stabilization
is
just
one
component.
We
talked
about.
We
brought
steve
glady
down
to
tampa
to
talk
about
what
they've
done
in
washington
d.c
as
solution-oriented
possibilities,
possibilities
where
renters,
who
are
owning
renters,
who
are
renting
complexes,
now,
have
the
ability
to
buy
that
property
as
an
option
instead
of
selling
it
to
a
private
investor,
to
raise
those
rents
and
keep
and
continue
to
increase
those
rents,
and
this
is
not
a
poverty
issue.
This
is
a
working
issue.
This
is
a
anybody
who
lives
in
the
city
of
tampa.
E
B
L
L
As
a
full-time
teacher,
I
could
not
afford
the
rent
here,
so
I
made
the
choice
to
leave
education
and
I'm
now
working
three
jobs.
None
of
them
are
minimum
wage
and
I
can
barely
afford
rent
while
living
with
someone
else,
and
I
don't
understand
how
some
of
the
council
members
can
sit
up
there
and
say
that
it's
a
an
issue
where
you
first
need
to
speak
to
your
family
because,
first
of
all
not
everybody
has
a
family
that
they
can
count
on.
L
L
L
O
O
So
if
inexpensive
and
affordable
don't
apply
to
me,
and
apparently
everybody
that
came
before
me,
we
need
to
either
find
another
definition
for
it
affordable
or
we
need
to
find
out
who
affordable
is
for
because,
right
now
the
word
affordable
don't
apply
to
me.
I
was
a
child
in
1977.,
so
here
I
am
in
22.
O
Am
I
begging
for
housing,
or
is
it
a
basic
need?
So
somebody
up
in
the
city
council,
the
government,
someone
need
to
figure
it
out
to
help
me
out
understand
who
affordable
housing
is
for?
Is
it
for
the
everyday
person,
the
young
lady
that
just
spoke?
She
said
she
got
three
jobs,
three
jobs
and
she's
a
teacher.
We
already
know
teachers
don't
make
no
money,
we
gotta
help
our
everyday
people
sleeping
in
the
car
is
not
housing.
Sleeping
on
the
street
is
not
housing.
O
Sleeping
on
somebody's
sofa
is
not
housing,
we
need
housing
for
self,
everybody
needs
housing,
it's
a
basic
need,
a
basic
need
for
housing,
so
1977
is
over
and
done
with.
2022
is
now,
and
we
need
to
get
it
taken
care
of
now
people,
let's
get
this
ring
stabilization
together,
and
this
audience
ordinance
need
to
be
dealt
with
as
soon
as
possible.
Thank
you
very
much
and
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
day.
O
Good
afternoon
council,
my
name
is
bishop
michelle
b
patty,
I
am
a
home
owner,
but
I
come
to
speak
because
this
crisis
affect
us
all
not
doing
anything
is
the
coward's
way
out.
Councilman,
listen,
the
landlords
are
raising
the
rents
now,
so
it
doesn't
matter
whether
you
don't
do
anything
or
you
wait
to
do
it.
The
rents
are
being
raised.
Now
we
have
sent
troops,
troops
are
going
over
to
a
foreign
land
to
fight
for
democracy
for
other
people.
These
same
troops
will
come
back
here
and
not
have
a
place
to
live.
That
is
unacceptable.
O
We
need
to
understand
that
the
crisis
that
we're
facing
now
is
not
going
to
go
away,
because
this
council
simply
does
nothing.
We
also
need
to
understand
that
we
have
a
legal
department
that
is
being
subsidized
by
the
citizens
of
tampa
and
that
legal
department
need
to
go
to
work
and
find
some
ways
to
come
up
with
ordinance
and
different
things.
That
will
stop
what
is
happening
here.
We
are
a
first-class
city
and
we
need
to
begin
to
act
that
way.
This
is
not
about
race,
it's
not
about
religion.
This
is
about
basis.
O
Human
rights
on
last
week,
I
was
here
to
speak
on
the
tenants
bill
of
rights
now
it's
time
to
put
some
teeth
in
what
has
been
already
transpired.
So
I
don't
want
to
hear
any
more
about
what
they
may
do,
because
what
they
may
do,
they
are
doing
it,
they
are
raising
the
rent
and
the
rent
is
out
the
roof.
People
cannot
afford
a
place
to
stay
you're
talking
about
veterans
who
are
being
put
out
on
the
streets,
seniors
that
are
being
put
out
on
the
street
children
that
is
being
put
out
on
the
street.
O
So
where
is
your
compassion?
That's
what
we're
asking
for
that!
You
stand
up
and
we're
going
to
let
the
chips
fall
where
they
make,
because
I'm
pretty
thankful
that
I
know
my
city
well
enough,
the
one
that
I
was
born
in
that
we
would
stand
up
and
fight
anything
that
is
going
to
hinder
folks
from
having
a
decent
place
to
live.
So
no
more
excuses.
Let's
go
to
work
counsel!
I
have
faith
in
knowing
that
you
can
do
it
and
those
of
you
that
are
in
legal
legal.
O
C
C
The
plain
language
of
the
statute
includes
the
defined
date
of
january
1
1977
and
applies
the
necessary
calculation
of
a
luxury
rental
amount
to
leases
or
rent
list
existing
on
that
date.
The
statute
does
not
require
any
further
calculations
or
the
inclusion
of
newly
constructed
units
into
that
definition.
C
Therefore,
only
those
units
that
were
in
operation
on
the
date
in
1977
would
be
applicable
under
the
governing
statute.
The
burden
should
be
on
the
landlord
should
lie
with
the
landlord
to
act
as
an
impediment,
and
that
should
not
be
an
impediment
actually
to
moving
forward
with
rent
stabilization,
so
the
landlord
should
be
the
party
to
have
to
come
forward
to
claim
that
exemption
that
shouldn't
stop
the
council
from
moving
forward
with
rent
stabilization.
C
Secondly,
the
current
bills
in
the
florida
legislature
that
were
referenced,
hb,
569
and
senate
bill
620
should
not
be
a
barrier
either.
The
current
draft
of
the
bill
states,
a
county
or
municipality,
is
not
liable
for
business
damages
caused
by
an
ordinance
or
charter
provision
that
is
expressly
authorized
by
state
law.
As
the
city
attorney's
memo
points
out,
rent
stabilization
efforts
are
expressly
authorized
under
florida
statute
166.043,
so
that
does
not
prevent
the
council
from
moving
forward.
C
What
that
means
is
the
council
can
actually
put
into
the
language
of
the
ordinance
that
base
rent
will
be
defined
as
the
amount
of
rent
based
on
the
day
that
the
commission
institutes
the
housing
crisis
emergency,
so
they
can't
just
unilaterally
raise
rents
between
now
and
november,
knowing
that
it's
coming
later,
because
you
can
actually
write
into
the
ordinance
back
dating
rent
to
a
specific
period
to
where
you
deem
to
be
acceptable
for
the
upcoming
ordinance,
so
that
can
address
some
of
those
concerns.
C
In
addition,
if
you
couple
that
with
extended
rent
notice
periods,
these
things
can
act
as
barriers
against
bad
actors,
such
as
landlords
engaging
in
unscrupulous
practices.
Although
we
agree-
and
everyone
agrees,
that
affordable
housing
is
the
goal,
that
is
a
long-term
solution
that
does
not
address
the
problems
of
the
people
who
are
here
today.
C
C
C
Hello,
my
name
is
crystal
robles
and
I
am
born
and
raised
here
in
tampa
bay,
and
we
are
here
because
we
believe
every
community
deserves
justice
on
every
block.
Progress
is
necessary,
but
at
what
cost?
In
the
past
three
years,
the
affordability
affordability
in
tampa
has
reached
a
breaking
point
and
that's
why
we
are
here
today.
Statistics
show
that
tampa
is
now
24
higher
than
prior
to
covet
and
the
rates
are
increasing.
C
C
Now
for
many
people,
for
many
reasons,
people
have
moved
to
tampa
bay
and
we
don't
mind
sharing
our
beautiful
breathtaking
views
and
warm
weather.
The
unfortunate
side
of
that
is,
our
city
is
losing
his
charm,
like
the
demolition
of
the
historic
church
on
hillsboro,
with
the
steeple
that
you
can
see
as
you
come
down,
275
letting
you
know
that
you
are
in
the
heart
of
tampa
or
even
the
remodel
of
the
convention
center.
That
was
designed
after
the
riverboat,
queen
it's
the
character
and
the
charm
of
the
city
and
the
history
that's
being
erased
tampa.
C
I
feel
right
now
is
in
a
very
messy
game
of
monopoly
and
we
are
being
ripped
apart,
torn
down
and
sold
to
the
highest
bidder.
Now
that
you
know
the
problem,
these
natives
of
tampa
and
the
people
who
have
called
tampa
home
for
many
years
demand
a
stop
to
this
egregious
rise
in
rent
people
are
being
forced
out
to
make
way
for
those
changes
with
very
few
options
for
themselves
as
well.
Most
people
living
in
tampa
are
workers
of
the
hospitality
industry.
C
J
C
Record
and
evidence
of
online
rental
companies
purposely
driving
up
the
home
cost
here
in
tampa,
which
they
were
found
guilty
of
in
court.
Actions
like
this,
amongst
other
reasons,
including
the
24
rental
increase,
is
why
we
are
experiencing
a
rental
crisis.
Forced
evictions
overpriced,
overpriced
rental
options
and
low
living
wages.
Wages
were
the
wick
rising
homelessness
was
the
fuse
and
boom
now
we're
in
the
middle
of
this
homeless.
C
D
Good
afternoon
city,
councilmen
and
members
and
community,
my
name
is
denise
pate
and
I'm
a
realtor
with
exp
realty,
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
middle
class
and
who
are
quickly
becoming
the
working
poor.
They
are
being
put
in
positions
that
force
them
to
pay
60
to
70
percent
of
their
income,
which
leaves
little
money
for
necessities.
D
I'm
not
sure
what
the
solution
is,
but
collectively
we
must
come
up
with
something
that
will
alleviate
homelessness
or
the
threat
of
homelessness.
I
get
calls
from
people
daily
looking
for
rental
properties
between
a
thousand
and
twelve
hundred
dollars
a
month
which
actually
no
longer
really
exists
anywhere
anywhere
in
the
city.
There's
very
few
rentals
in
that
price
range.
We
force
people
out
of
public
housing
with
nowhere
to
go.
These
people
are
now
living
in
hotels
and
cars
and
piled
up
in
with
family
members.
D
D
K
K
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
pastor
tom
jones
and
I'm
the
president
of
community
united
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
crisis
that
we
have
here
in
tampa
concerning
our
rent,
I'm
here
because
of
the
fact
that
we
as
leaders
in
the
community,
we
know
that
our
members
of
this
community
need
a
safe
place
to
live
and
as
as
a
leader,
we
are
doing
our
very
best
to
provide
that.
But
I
want
to
share.
K
They
they
have
a
great
income
because
they
retired
from
death
to
airlines,
so
they
have
a
pension
and
we
decided
to
help
them
to
find
an
apartment,
not
knowing
how
difficult
that
was
going
to
be.
Now.
When
you
go
to
find
an
apartment
in
a
safe
environment
there
you
have
to
have
three
times
the
amount
of
monthly
income
that
your
rent
is.
Most
individuals
know
that
the
cost
of
living
went
up
very
high,
but
the
wages
did
not
go
up
with
that.
K
So
I'm
asking
the
city
council
today
to
please
do
your
very
best
to
come
up
with
a
solution
where
we
can
not
only
provide
a
safe
environment
and
a
safe
place
for
individuals
to
live,
but
also
that
we
can
come
up
with
some
resolution
to
individuals
not
having
to
have
three
times
the
salary
that
their
rent
is
because
most
individuals
do
not
make
three
times
what
the
rent
is,
because
it
has
went
so
high.
K
L
Hi,
my
name
is
carla
correa,
I'm
a
tenant
union
organizer
here
in
the
tampa
bay
area,
and
I
see
the
suffering
going
on
here
firsthand
because
of
this
housing
crisis.
Tampa
city
council,
it's
time
to
lead
the
housing
struggle
in
florida
and
be
the
first
city
to
pass
a
housing
state
of
emergency
and
let
the
people
of
tampa
vote
on
rent
control.
As
most
of
you
know,
I
hope
rents
are
being
raised
30
on
average
here
in
tampa,
and
it's
not
sustainable
for
working
people.
L
It's
time
for
the
city
council
to
stand
up
for
the
working
people
of
tampa
and
protect
them
from
the
ruthless
rent,
gouging
we're
seeing
not
only
in
our
community
but
in
all
working-class
communities
throughout
florida.
These
astronomical
rent
increases
are
displacing
us
from
our
communities
and
ruining
our
lives,
and
you
all
the
tampa
city
council.
You
have
the
authority
to
intervene
in
this
crisis
and
make
sure
that
the
people
of
tampa
who
make
the
city
run
can
actually
stay
in
their
homes.
Housing
is
a
human
right
and
no
one
should
receive
a
rent
increases.
L
A
rent
increase,
that's
going
to
make
them
decide
if
they're
going
to
pay
their
rent
or
buy
food.
This
week
the
wages
aren't
keeping
up
with
these
rent
increases,
so
it's
time
to
rein
in
the
greed
of
landlords.
If
the
city
council
can't
even
pass
a
basic
declaration
of
emergency
in
response
to
people
losing
their
homes,
it
truly
shows
their
character.
Human
lives
are
more
important
than
the
profit
of
landlords.
Rent
control
is
a
band-aid
that
will
help
the
the
bleeding
of
the
working
class
who
are
struggling
and
bill.
L
B
B
And
just
for
the
record,
if
you
spoke
this
morning
on
rent
stabilization
this
morning,
you're
not
allowed
to
speak
again.
We
have
to
give
everybody
a
chance
to
speak
next.
Speaker.
B
B
B
R
Good
afternoon,
gentlemen,
my
name
is
etulia
gonzalez
militieri,
with
gsp
florida.
First
off
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
deliberate
deliberating,
the
issuing
their
faith,
but
we
need
action
and
acknowledgement
isn't
action
enough.
R
As
you
know,
the
city
is
in
a
housing
crisis
and
it's
up
to
you
to
use
your
executive
authority,
but
I'm
also
going
to
use
this
platform
to
call
out
the
mayor
because
she's
the
one
with
the
real
executive
authority
to
declare
a
housing
state
of
emergency
and
as
far
as
I
know,
it's
time
for
the
city
of
tampa
to
start
exercising
our
municipal
sovereignty,
gentlemen,
now's
the
time
to
be
bold.
Now
is
it's
time
to
be
courageous
and
I'm,
I'm
speaking
from
the
perspective
of
a
son.
R
You
see
a
pitcher,
a
retired
woman,
single
woman
who
cannot
afford
rent
because
her
pension
is
900
in
the
city
of
tampa
and
then
I'm
also
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself,
because
my
rent
went
up
from
600
to
800
to
a
thousand
dollars
within
the
span
of
a
year
see
this
is
an
emergency
without
a
doubt,
but
we
require
action.
All
these
people
wearing
red
shirts
they'll
stand
behind.
You
they're
looking
for
champions
and
as
far
as
I
can
tell
you
were
elected
to
do
that.
R
R
So,
gentlemen,
please
I'm
I'm
asking
you
to
consider
passing
this
seriously
today
and
and
it
we're
not
talking
about
a
a
ballot
measure
or
a
ballot
initiative.
We
need
action
now
we
need
action.
Now,
gentlemen,
like
I
I've
seen
it
I'm
I'm
feeling
it.
The
people
in
my
family
are
are
feeling
it
and
there
are
hundreds,
maybe
thousands
of
people
throughout
the
city
dealing
with
it
right
now.
R
Thank
you.
I
didn't
prepare
anything.
That's
all
I
got
for
now
and
my
call
to
action
to
everybody.
Sorry,
I'm
not
sending
my
time
yet
my
call
to
action
to
everybody
in
the
building
outside
the
building
in
the
lobby.
Call
the
mayor
ask
her
to
declare
a
housing
state
of
emergency
and
keep
calling
her
over
and
over
and
over
and
over,
because
we
need
the
pressure.
We
need
to
apply
pressure
now
and
then
we
need
to
take
this
to
the
state
legislature
because
it
doesn't
end
here
tampa.
Q
Q
Q
My
personal
scenario
was
that
my
rent
tripled
from
2019
to
2021
it
is
nearly
impossible
to
make
in
a
fortune
100
position
with
20
years
of
experience
and
eight
florida
licenses
to
make
enough
money
to
meet
the
requirement
of
triple
the
rent
and
to
be
able
to
afford
to
raise
my
children
as
a
single
person
in
tampa.
Q
Q
My
great
uncle
was
fireman
in
ebor
and
we
would
I
understand.
Family
is
important
and
I
do
come
from
a
long
line
of
people
from
here.
I
am
a
single
person
in
my
family.
I
do
not
have
other
family
members
to
reach
out
to.
I
am
the
only
provider
for
my
family,
so
it's
not
as
if
I
could
reach
out
to
a
sibling
or
a
parent
or
an
aunt,
or
an
uncle,
and
just
a
resident
here
of
tampa
trying
to
contribute
and
make
you
the
community
better.
Q
I
want
to
say
that
the
more
seasoned
representatives
who
have
spoken
here,
I
am
so
excited
about
some
of
the
things
that
they
said.
I
really
hope
you
could
go
back
and
you
know
think
about
what
they're
saying
and
consider
the
proposals
for
dc.
I
hadn't
been
aware
of
any
of
that.
My
profession
is
in
insurance.
Q
Q
B
L
I
am
a
tampa
resident
and
I
believe
that
every
community
deserves
justice
on
every
block.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
before
you
and
share
my
story
of
hoping
to
become
a
first-time
homeowner.
I've
gone
from
homelessness
to
being
in
my
apartment.
Now
for
13
years,
I
remember
walking
down
the
street
when
I
was
pregnant
with
my
son
and
saying
to
myself,
I
want
to
live
there
one
day
when
my
apartments
were
being
built.
L
L
L
While
it
was
refreshing
to
hear
the
city
council,
you
board
members
state
that
you
realize
and
understand
that
there
is
a
housing
crisis.
It
was
discouraging
to
see
that
you
kind
of
gave
up
before
the
fight
even
started,
stating
that
there's
nothing
that
you
can
do.
I
challenge
this
board
today
to
not
leave
here
without
a
real
and
true
solution
to
this
crisis.
L
A
earnest
action
plan
to
make
it
possible
for
people
like
me
to
realize
the
american
dream
become
homeowners,
make
it
possible
for
people
who
are
where
I
started
to
put
a
roof
over
their
head
and
do
something
to
stabilize
rent
and
attack
the
housing
market
crisis
and
ensure
that
there
is
justice
on
every
block.
Thank
you.
A
Hello
good
afternoon,
hello,
my
name
is
gayle
rogers,
I'm
with
the
fight
for
15,
and
I
have-
and
I
am
an
impact
person,
and
by
that
I
mean
at
my
age
now
being
62
and
need
a
place
to
stay
that
I
can't
afford
to
afford
to
pay
the
rent.
A
A
I
myself
as
a
senior,
is
dealing
with
dealing
with
the
same
problems
like
everyone
else.
I
goes
to
places
try
to
apply,
but
by
me
don't
have
enough
income,
I
don't
be
eligible
for
rent,
and
that
is
not
right.
It's
other
people,
that's
going
through
the
same
thing
that
I
am
going
through
with
is
suffering
right
today
I
was
a
part
of
amendment
2
to
be
paid
to
be
passed
and
with
that
being
said,
going
up
year
after
year,
we
need
15
right
now
to
afford
the
cost
of
living
and
another
thing.
A
This
is
something
I
would
like
to
say
to
the
council.
I
believe
that
the
community
deserves
justice
on
every
block
which
includes
housing.
I'm
calling
to
ask
my
counsel
to
acknowledge
the
housing
state
of
emergency
and
allow
voters
to
pass
a
rent
stabilization
measure
to
ensure
there's
justice
on
every
block.
A
S
S
The
one
thing
that
she
said
to
me
was
that
she
just
wants
a
place
of
her
own.
We
already
heard
from
the
children
that
came
forward.
I
was
so
grateful
to
hear
from
them,
but
speaking
as
a
teacher,
I
know
what
it's
like
for
children
who
are
displaced
by
this
housing
crisis,
where
it
affects
their
education
and
it
affects
their
well-being.
S
S
So
I
am
asking
the
same
thing
that
everyone
else
is
asking.
Please
declare
this
as
a
state
of
emergency.
Please
implement
rent
stabilization
programs.
We
have
a
numerous
issues
that
have
been
brought
forward,
but
we
haven't
had
numerous
solutions
that
are
being
discussed.
S
S
K
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
james
felton,
I'm
I
am
a
temporary
resident,
I
believe
in
every
community,
just
on
every
block
have
have
seen
how
rent
goes
up
every
year,
and
so
is
mine.
My
rent
was
going
up
every
year,
I'm
on
ssd,
but
as
one
of
the
workers
of
the
office
came
up
to
me
and
asked
for
the
keys
on
january,
the
4th
and
asked
me
to
turn
in
the
keys.
K
So
that
way
I
had
one
hour
to
get
everything
out
of
there
out
of
one
bedroom
apartment
and
it
was
long
so
I
couldn't
be
able
to
do
to
do
so.
So
what
I
have
done
is
take
what
I
had
put
in
the
patio
and
then
they
had
to
close
it
up
with
after
that
hour
and
then
put
a
new
padlock
on
it.
So
that
way
I
couldn't
get
back
on,
but
to
see
how
I
was
homeless
that
night
walking
down
bush.
K
I
had
one
o'clock
in
the
morning
going
down
bush
boulevard
going
to
ihop
didn't
have
nowhere
to
go
until
I
received
a
call.
One
of
my
friends
said
well
come
where
I'm
at
to
a
hotel.
I
had
one
small
bag
and,
after
that
small
bag
of
that
night,
I
didn't
have
no
way
to
get
there.
So
lady
of
the
work
of
the
ihop
had
asked
me:
do
you
have
any
money?
I'll
put
you
on
uber
just
give
me
eight
dollars.
K
K
I
didn't
have
anything
to
to
have
to
go
with
me.
I
had
to
get
a
4x5
storage,
but
I'm
paying
right
now,
50,
and
that
was
too
much
for
me
to
to
do
so
by
losing
everything
and
right
now,
nothing
that
I
have
that
same
storage
that
I
have
with
that
small
bag
and
a
few
things
that
I
had
some
of
my
friends
went
by
and
got
for
me.
My
lights
went
up
to
five
over
five
hundred
dollars
and
how's.
K
On
my
back
right
now,
one
of
my
family
members
had
to
let
me
wear
wear
this
thing,
because
I
am
right
now
the
member
of
the
floor
horizon-
and
I
thank
god
for
the
people
that
are
reached
out
and
touched
me
and
asked
me
do
I
need
anything
but
right
now,
please,
god
y'all
just
do
something
that
no
one
would
leave
something
like
that
behind
of
some
value
that
I
had
left
when
I
was
growing
up
used
to
be
married,
but
it's
just
that
I
lost
everything.
So
please
help
us
of
this.
K
O
So
my
income
is
a
little
lower
and
it's
not
going
to
be
enough
to
pay
my
rent
after
next
year
because
electric
bill
phone

I
have
to
have
a
phone
bill,
because
I
have
a
little
sickness
problem
and
then
I'm
by
myself
and
I'm
gonna
be
afraid
really
afraid
next
year,
because
I
would
not
have
nowhere
to
stay,
I
would
be
out
on
the
streets.
I
need
help

I'm
all
by
myself
and
if
they
could

homes.
O

percent

Please

So

They
need
to
stop
going
up
on
this
rent,
especially
for
us
floridians
who
don't
been
here
for
years.
O
All
day
like
I
can
see
people
moving
down
here
and
they
go
up
on
their
rent,
but
the
floridians
who've
been
here
all
day
life.
It's
so
sad.
We're
gonna
be
out
the
door
homeless
and
I
can't
deal
with
it
and
I
don't
want
to
lose
my
mind
next
year,
because
I
don't

T
Q
My
name's
ali,
I'm
sure,
you're
aware
that
I'm
another
working-class
citizen
here
in
the
city
wondering
where
I
will
be
when
my
lease
is
up
in
april,
as
I
work
here
in
downtown
and
my
rent
is
increasing
from
1400
to
nearly
1700,
with
even
one
bedrooms
and
studios
residing
around
that
price.
Q
Yes,
we're
in
a
state
of
emergency.
Rent
prices
are
out
of
control
and
the
reform
is
not
only
possible
but
actively
being
withheld
from
the
people.
But
if
the
sole
issue
is
not
swaying
enough
to
you
all,
then
you
must
understand
that
rent
reform
when
the
prices
are
finally
in
remission
is
all-encompassing
to
address
rent
control
is
to
eradicate
houselessness
and
to
reduce
crime
rates.
It
is
to
provide
rehabilitation,
countering
the
hard
drug
epidemic
to
address
our
judicial
system
and
the
way
it
perpetuates.
Q
Q
To
start
here,
demanding
change
for
those
who
are
being
pushed
out
of
their
homes
or
losing
their
livelihood
to
the
roof
over
their
head
to
even
discuss
one's
price
to
live.
We
are
discussing
every
single
way
and
that
human
life
is
viewed
as
a
commodity
when
it
is
a
birthright
when
the
basic
act
of
no
longer
barely
surviving
but
living
is
essential
and
non-negotiable
council.
Q
B
T
We
keep
hearing
that
tampa
bay
is
one
of
the
fastest
growing
economies
in
florida,
and
it's
said
to
be
one
of
the
best
economies
in
the
united
states.
Right
now,
it's
on
the
come
up.
It's
the
place
to
be
right
now
tampa
ended
2021
with
one
of
the
hottest
housing
markets
in
the
in
the
entire
country,
people
celebrated
as
we
hosted
and
won
the
super
bowl.
We
got
recognition
from
the
nation
for
our
very
own,

selling
tampa
where
million
dollar
homes
were
being
sold.
T
What
is
often
hidden
underneath
these
headlines
of
a
growing
city
are
the
voices
of
the
people
who
have
been
abandoned
and
left
behind.
Black
and
brown
communities
who
lived
in
areas
like
seminole
heights
in
downtown
tamba
have
been
bought
out
of
their
homes
and
had
their
neighborhoods
gentrified

hyde

once
a
bustling
black
community
and
is
now
filled
with
condos
apartments
and
businesses,
leaving
individuals
who
once
lived
there,
unable
to
even
recognize
the
place
they
once
called
home.
T
It
is
clear
that
low
income
and
black
and
brown
people
families
are
not
included
in
politicians
and
corporations,
vision
of
a
new
growing
tampa.
If
life
is
not
going
to
get
better
for
the
people
in
the
city,
who
is
it
getting
better
for
the
people
of
tampa,
don't
want
more
luxurious
condos
for
out-of-state
billionaires
to
move
into.
We
want
safe
of
affordable
housing
and
affordable
health
care.
That's
what
a
growing
tampa
looks
like
to
us.
A
city
which
is
growing
does
not
neglect
the
very
people
who
have
built
it.
S
I'm
going
to
cut
out
a
lot
of
my
speech,
because
the
truth
is
that
you
already
know
there's
a
state
of
emergency.
It's
been
stated
very
eloquently
by
some
of
our
guests
today
and
also
by
some
of
you
council
members,
but
I
want
to
focus
on
this
one
point:
elected
representatives.
You
are
the
city
leaders
and
it
is
your
responsibility
to
ease
the
burdens
of
the
people.
S
There
is
a
housing
emergency
and
the
people
are
asking
for
crisis
intervention
and
even
in
this
crisis,
different
blocks
are
disparately
impacted.
I
moved
here
from
panama
city
after
hurricane
michael
and
when
we
experienced
hurricane
michael
everybody
suffered
just
like
here.
Everyone
is
suffering
from
the
housing
crisis,
but
people
suffer
differently.
Different
blocks
suffer
differently,
and
so
the
impetus
is
on
you
to
make
a
difference
and
to
find
those
solutions.
S
I
asked
a
few
community
members
to
come
out
here
today
and
there
was
interest
and
some
of
them
wanted
to
come,
but
the
reason
they
couldn't
be
here
today
is
because
they
could
not
afford
to
miss
work,
because
if
they
missed
work,
they
couldn't
meet
their
rent.
Some
people
are
already
facing
evictions,
and
these
are
people
within
the
community
at
large,
including
within
the
muslim
community.
S
S
We
need
you
to
let
the
people's
voices
be
heard
on
the
ballot,
allow
voters
to
pass
a
rent,
stabilization
measure
and
protect
the
people
and
on
the
subject
of
preemptions
there
is
this
concern
that
there's
you
know.
I've
heard
this
concern
that
there's
nothing
that
you
can
do
to
control
what
happens
before
or
after,
but
your
job
is
to
find
the
solutions,
not
solutions
that
look
good
on
paper,
but
comprehensive
solutions.
That
is
your
job,
and
so
we're
asking
you
to.
S
Please
invest
the
time
to
make
sure
that
there
is
justice
on
every
block
and
finally
find
solutions
as
if
it
was
you
that
was
facing
eviction
or
that
it
as
if
it
was
your
family
that
was
facing
eviction,
because,
just
like
your
family
is
your
responsibility
as
city
council
members.
So
are
your
constituents.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
Council
members,
thank
you
so
much.
My
name
is
william
kilgore.
I'm
a
tenant
organizer,
I'm
with
the
st
petersburg
tenants
union
across
the
bay
and
also
the
tampa
tenants
union
here
in
tampa.
You
know
so
I
have
an
opportunity
to.
You
know
talk
to
tenants,
you
know
all
over
the
bay
area
and
here
in
tampa-
and
you
know
what
I
hear
from
folks
every
tenant
I
talk
to
just
about
says
they
support
rent
control.
I
don't
think
I've
met
a
single
tenant
who
says?
No,
I
don't
want
rent
control.
N
I
don't
think
that's
a
good
idea
and
just
about
every
landlord
I've
met
or
talked
to
or
developer
business
person.
They
say,
no,
that's
a
horrible
idea!
No
way.
You
know
the
class
distinction's
clear.
You
know
and
you
look
at
that,
there's
a
lot
more
tenants
than
there
are
landlords
and
the
idea
even
mom
and
pop
landlord
that
whole
idea.
I
don't
even
like
to
use
that
term.
Individual
investors
is
what
I
like
to
call
them,
because
you
look
at
these
landlords.
Most
landlords
are
corporate
landlords
and
that's
the
whole
thing.
N
It's
these
corporations
gouging
people.
You
know
you
look
at
when
you
know:
there's
an
emergency,
there's,
there's
a
storm
or
something
like
that,
and
you've
got
shopkeepers
jacking
up
the
rent
on
you
know
gasoline
or
water
or
whatever
it
is.
We
call
it
price
gouging
and
it's
illegal
and
same
thing's
happening
with
the
rents.
So
if
that
was
happening,
you
know,
and
there
there
was
an
emergency
and
the
shop
keepers
gouging
the
water
we
say.
Well,
we
need
to
no.
N
We
need
to
incentivize
them
to
lower
the
price
of
that
water
or
you
know.
Well,
we
need
to
just
you
know
kind
of
you
know
figure
out
how
to
how
to
make
this
work
for
them.
You
know,
negotiate
with
them.
No,
you
say
no,
you
can't
do
that.
Absolutely
not
that's
something!
People
need.
We
need
water,
we
need
housing,
you
know,
and
so
I
think
that
it
is.
You
know
it's
something
that
we
we
need
rent
control.
N
We
need
to
be
taking
on
the
profiteers,
the
developers,
the
landlords,
it's
not
not
an
equal
playing
field
and
it's
just
important.
You
know
that
we
are
putting
people,
we
are
putting
poor
people.
First,
people
from
the
bottom
up,
I'm
a
renter,
I'm
a
lifelong
renter.
I
have
a
high
school
education,
I'm
I'm
born
and
raised
here
in
the
bay
area.
My
family,
both
sides
are,
are
from
here
my
mother's
last
name's
cimino.
My
great
great
grandparents
were
immigrants
from
sicily
who
came
over
here
to
tampa
to
work
in
the
cigar
factories.
N
I
love
this
area,
but
I
hate
what
I'm
seeing
and
I
and
I
hate
that
this
is
happening.
You
know,
so
I
implore
you.
I
urge
you
take
this
action
set
the
example
for
the
rest
of
the
state
and
and
let
the
dominoes
fall.
Let's
start
reining
in
the
profiteers.
Thank
you
so
much.
O
Hello,
my
name
is
robin
lockett,
I'm
the
regional
director
of
florida,
rising
city
council.
If
you
haven't
noticed
p,
the
people
have
come
down
and
they've
spoken.
We
even
wrote
wore
our
red
shirts
to
show
solidarity.
O
O
So
I
heard
a
lot
of
councilmen
saying
that
they're,
not
afraid
they're,
you
know
just
they're,
you
know
they're
not
afraid,
so,
if
you're
not
afraid
just
sit
in
it,
take
the
time
to
understand
it,
don't
look
at
it
as
with
being
afraid
of
or
being
cautious
of
preemption,
and
all
of
that
other
stuff
really
look
at
this
situation
as
an
opportunity
to
listen
to
the
community
and
figure
out
a
way
to
do
it.
Other
places
have
done
it.
O
That's
why
when
councilman
or
chairman
ghouls
suggested
this,
you
know
he
provided
provided
examples.
So
it's
it's.
Research
is
finding
another
city
that
has
our
environment
or
our
our
environment.
To
really
make
this
work.
You
may
not
be
able
to
do
everything,
but
you
can
do
something
so
again
the
community
came
out.
We
will
be
building
making
people
aware,
because
people
really
don't
understand
what
their
rights
are.
O
That's
the
problem
or
understand
where
they
can
go,
that's
the
problem,
so
we
are
going
to
be
building
around
this
we're
going
to
keep
pushing
it.
So
I
hope
the
conversations
you
have
next
is:
what
can
we
do
and
and
let's,
let's
really
push
our
sleeves
up
to
really
have
this
done?
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
again,
we
believe
that
every
community
deserves
justice
on
every
block.
Thank
you.
E
I
have
been
going
around
asking
for
any
kind
of
help
I
can
get
for
four
years,
since
lord
has
placed
this
idea
of
a
concept
in
my
brain.
I
have
constructed
this
designed
it
engineered
it
and
built
it
right
now.
It
is.
It
is
sanding
in
my
front
yard.
Right
now
I
have
talked
to
everybody
from
the
mayor
of
tampa
clearwater
st
petersburg.
E
Can
I
have
some
help
bringing
this
technology
to
the
industry,
that's
so
desperately
needed.
This
is
a
perfect
storm
now
and
to
me
it's
a
simple
economics
supply
and
demand.
We
don't
have
enough
houses,
so
therefore,
the
few
that
we
do
have
people
can
charge
this
astronomical
price
for
it.
It
only
makes
sense
because
we
are
over.
E
We
are
over
5
million
homes
behind
in
this
nation.
Right
now-
and
there
is
no
way
we
can-
there
is
no
way
we
can
catch
up
with
the
amount
of
homes
that
we
need
with
this
archaic
way
that
we're
building
houses,
we
have
been
building
houses.
This
way
for
ten
thousand
years,
stick
by
stick
by
stick
block
by
block
by
block.
There
are
better
ways
of
building
things
that
we
have
automation,
manufacturing
on
everything
else
in
the
plant
on
the
planet,
but
yet
we're
still
building
houses.
The
way
we
have
done
the
building
the
pyramids.
E
This
is
ridiculous.
Let's
embrace
this
new
way
of
technology,
so
we
can
get
these
houses
built,
so
we
can
put
people
in
homes
it's
as
simple,
as
that.
I
do
not
want
to
be
told
by
my
government
that
just
spent
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
put
some
tents
up
some
temporary
tents
to
to
house
the
homeless
people
back
when
the
pandemic
first
came
in.
We
can
do
better
than
this.
I
do
not
need
that
much
help
or
that
much
money
to
finish
building
the
machine
that
I
know
works.
E
E
J
J
L
E
Forgive
me
for
interrupting,
but
I
just
want
to
remind
you
that
staff
is
in
the
vestibule
we're.
C
B
Going
to
come
in
for
give
a
continuous
date
for
that.
S
F
Hi
rebecca
johnson
department-
I
just
wanted
to
make
you
aware
of
a
deadline
in
the
event
that
you
do
decide
to
go
forward.
If
you
want
this
to
go
to
the
november
ballot,
then
the
adopted
city
ordinance
will
need
to
be
to
the
supervisor
of
elections
by
august
15th
and
since
again,
legal
strongly
recommends.
F
If
you
go
forward
with
this,
that
there
be
some
type
of
backup
showing
the
level
of
emergency
required
that
we
are
recommending
some
type
of
study,
which
I
don't
believe
the
housing
department
is
equipped
to
do
so
that
may
require
hiring
an
outside
entity.
To
do
that,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
you
aware
of
those
time
frames.
I.
B
F
F
B
So
basically,
the
way
I
hear
you
and
when
I
hear
her
we
just
don't
know
to
know
so
it's
like
anything.
B
G
I
don't
know
if
we're
going
to
go
around
or
not,
but
if
I
could
just
make
a
quick
statement
in
regard
to
this
rent
stabilization
proposal,
as
I
stated
before,
I'm
absolutely
opposed
to
it
and
the
state
has
preempted
us
on
this.
That
is
a
fact,
and
they
did
it
back
in
the
70s.
There
are
all
kinds
of
hurdles
to
doing
this:
it's
not
rent
control,
I've
lived
in
places
that
had
rent
control
and
usually
it's
for
10
or
20
or
30
years.
G
That
way,
you
have
a
long
ramp
for
landlords
not
to
be
able
to
retaliate.
Before
and
after
the
policy.
A
12-month
policy
is
nothing.
It
is
going
to
cause
extreme
hurt
and
pain
in
our
community,
and
it
is.
It
is
politically
expedient
to
vote
for
something
that
sounds
like
a
good
idea,
but
is
a
terrible
idea.
I'm
not
going
to
be
responsible
for
putting
more
people
on
the
streets
up
to
up
to
october
and
then,
after
whenever
this
is
done.
This
is
the
wrong
policy.
We
there
are
lots
of
other
policies
and
we've
been.
G
If
this
passes,
I
think
it
will
be
an
enormous
mistake
and
it
will
hurt
the
people
that
we're
purportedly
trying
to
help
and-
and
I
I
can't
have
that
on
my
conscience-
to
to
hurt
more
people.
There
absolutely
is
a
crisis,
there's
a
problem
in
the
community.
We
need
to
solve
it,
but
we
need
to
solve
it
with
other
solutions.
G
I
would
just
encourage
us:
we've
had
several
forums
and
workshops
on
affordable
housing,
and
I
think
most
of
people
here
today
have
not
been
to
those
forums
if
it's
necessary
for
us
to
put
together
a
different
forum,
we
can
do
that
in
the
meantime,
people
can
email
us.
They
can
call
us
give
us
all
your
ideas.
You
all
are
doing
lots
of
research
on
what
we
can
do
in
the
community.
But
let's
not
please
pass
something
that
looks
like
a
good
idea,
but
it's
going
to
cause
pain
and
suffering
with
thousands
more
people.
Thank
you.
H
H
You
know
we're
we're
told
that
with
inflation,
the
the
requisite
cut
off
would
be
1150
and,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
see,
which
is
how
many
households
would
be
positively
affected
by
it,
because
one
of
the
things
you
know
when,
when
first
off
to
everybody
who's,
who
came
here
and
spoke,
I
think
all
all
six
of
us
obviously
and
councilman
dingfelder,
if
he's
watching,
I
know,
would
state
as
well.
H
Thank
you
very
much
for
for
showing
your
heart
today,
because
I
think
that's
very,
very
important,
and
a
lot
of
folks
spoke
from
the
heart,
but
one
of
the
big
things
that
I
want
to
make
sure
is
is
to
tell
people
that,
if
we're
going
to
pass
something
and
say
that
this
is
going
to,
you
know
be,
you
know,
have
a
really
big
positive
effect
on
the
crisis
that
you're
speaking
on
the
heart
from
and
yet
it
it's
not.
And
yet
it
may
not.
H
If
interpreted
a
certain
way,
let
me
inquire,
if
I
may,
with
ms
feely,
if
I
may
ask
if,
if
you
know
how
many
households
would,
if
interpreted
under
1150,
more
or
less
around,
that
range
in
in
the
city
of
tampa,
do
you
know
how
many
rental
households
would
would
be
excluded
from
this
ordinance?
L
I
I
don't
know
for
sure,
based
on
the
numbers
that
were
most
recent,
there
are
60
roughly
a
little
over
68
000
households
that
are
renters
and
when
they
do
the
breakdown
of
the
rents,
seven
percent
of
those
households
are
less
than
a
thousand
dollars.
How
do
we
know
that
this
is
on
rent
cafe,
that's
the
data
that
is
available
to
pull
right
now.
L
It
shows
that
68
000
and
I
I
can
pull
that
up
and
and
share
my
screen
or
however,
you'd
like
to
do
that,
but
it
gives
the
breakdown
of
where
we
are
with
rents
and
and
those
units.
S
L
H
And
if
I
may,
that
that's
part
of
the
challenge,
which
is
one
of
the
things
that's
known
as
the
fact
that
there's
unknowns-
and
I
I
know
that's
the
way
the
the
city
attorneys,
I
believe
in
saint
petersburg-
have
gone
at
least
from
the
report.
That's
from
where
the
city
of
tampa
is
in
other
words,
if
you're
telling
me
that,
on
a
good
day,
let's
say
again
that
that
we
passed
this.
H
Let's
say
it
passes:
voters,
let's
say
that
that
15
bill
doesn't
pass
tallahassee
which
to
me
is
irrelevant
by
the
way
until
it
passes.
I
really
don't
care
when,
when
we
were
passing
the
the
state-certified
apprenticeship
law,
we
had
the
threat
of
preemption
hanging
over
us
and
to
me
that
was
a
very
limited
relevancy.
Practically
it
could,
but
in
terms
of
passing
it,
if
tallahassee
is
going
to
do
something,
you
know
on
any
particular
topic
they
could.
So
I
don't
think.
That's
really
for
me
the
big
issue.
H
That's
for
me
the
dispositive
issue
here
that
that
you
know
that
again
we're
saying
that
we're
putting
forth
something
that
one
out
of
10
is
the
10,
and
maybe
it's
one
out
of
two.
That's
one
of
the
things
that
bothers
me
a
lot
I
I
may
come
back
if
I
may
so
I'll
cut
my
time
and
and
go
from
there.
But
thank
you.
E
E
In
order
for
us
to
even
consider
moving
forward
with
this,
we
would
have
to
undertake
some
serious
studies.
We'd
have
to
have
evidence
to
move
forward
with
this.
I'm
just
telling
you
we're
this.
This
will
get
litigated
and
we'll
end
up
spending
all
the
money
that
you
would
like
to
spend,
helping
these
people
on
lawyers,
and
so.
E
We
have
to,
I
think
we
probably
need
to
hire
an
economist
and
come
forward
with
it
there.
One
of
the
one
of
the
major
issues
when
you
look
at
this
issue
is,
you
know,
does
rent
control
really
work
in
the
long
run?
I
mean
it
does
help
the
immediate
problem,
but
what
it
does
is
it
discourages
or
descends
and
decentralizes
additional
multi-family
development,
which
is
what
you
really.
E
E
B
Is
a
solution,
so
I
I
can.
I
can
agree
with
that:
hiring
the
proper
people
to
do
the
proper
job,
because
we
need
the
right
numbers
and
so
forth
and
so
on.
So
the
folks
don't
think.
Well,
we
just
sit
up
here
for
almost
hours
and
hours
and
we're
just
going
to
say:
oh,
we
we're
not
going
to
do
nothing.
So
that's
the
problem.
I
don't
want
to
leave
here
doing
now.
If
you
came
down
because
you
directly
come
down
and
give
us
more
explanations,
because
ms
johnson
give
what
we
needed.
J
I
agree
with
you,
mr
chairman.
I
agree
with
everything.
In
fact,
I
agree
with
mr
carlson
there's
one
thing.
I
always
tell
myself
when
I'm
doing
something:
what,
if
what
does
that?
What
if
means
what,
if
it
doesn't
work,
what,
if
you
do
something,
and
instead
of
helping
you're
hurting
the
same
once
you're
trying
to
help,
then
what?
If?
J
J
They
need
hospitalization,
they
need
medication,
they
need
food
assistance,
they
need
it
all
and
great
civilization
is
not
the
only
thing,
that's
keeping
them
back.
So
that's
my
take
on
it.
Not
all
of
them
are
that
way.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
but
what,
if
it
doesn't
work,
are
we
really
helping
the
situation?
J
What,
if
we
don't?
We
hire
someone
to
do
that
to
give
us
the
what,
if
out
of
the
equation,
so
we
can
find
out
at
least
for
presentation,
whether
it's
victorious
or
not,
is
up
to
someone
else.
If
we
can
do
this
as
a
city,
no
city,
no
city,
council,
member
among
b7,
one
or
anyone
that
I've
ever
worked
with
would
want
to
put
anyone
out
of
their
home.
That's
a
given
and
I've
learned
that
some
time
back
and
I
believe
me
some
years
back,
I
was
in
the
same
situation
some
of
those
people.
J
I
I
I
I
can
vote
for
support
a
motion
for
an
ordinance
whatever
and
do
what,
because
we
have
a
deadline
to
meet
with
the
supervisor
of
election
by
august
for
the
november
election
and
then
should
the
people
pass
it
I
mean
we're
talking
a
year
away
almost,
but
what
can
we
do
right
now,
a
million
dollars
in
assistance
that
will
be
available
not
today
but
march
1st?
I
P
I
A
year,
okay,
council
members
get
paid
what
fifty
one
fifty
two
thousand,
so
it's
more
than
what
we
make
will
be
eligible
for
assistance.
So
someone
that's
rent
one
up
fifty
dollars
a
month
or
five
hundred
dollars
a
month
is
eligible
for
assistance
for
12
month
period.
That's
immediate
health!
Now
I
don't
want
to
throw
the
city
and
I
don't
care
attorneys.
You
know
everybody
can
sue.
Anybody
has
a
right
to
sue,
but
is
it
worth
spending
the
money
and
the
manpower
to
fight
a
lawsuit
that
we're
already
talking
about?
Well,
what?
If
or
what?
I
If,
when
we
have
immediate
assistance?
Now
we
have
something
that
I
don't
know
if
saint
pete
has
it,
I
don't
know
what
other
municipality
municipalities
have,
but
we
have
a
million
dollars
now
with
the
budget
coming
up.
Maybe
we
can
ask
for
more
with
the
cras.
I
know
I
asked
this
question
and
I'm
sorry
I
forgot
the
answer.
The
cras
east
tampa
being
the
biggest
there's
money
sitting
there
and
I
know
money
can
be
used
for
affordable
housing.
I
Can
we
legally
use
some
of
that
money
for
some
of
this
assistant
in
east
tampa
parts
of
downtown?
We
have
a
west
tampa
cra
as
well.
Can
we
use
some
of
that
money?
We
can
explore
that
as
a
cra
board.
We
can
expand
on
not
just
a
million
dollars
in
the
general
fund
that
we
have
here
as
a
city
council,
but
what
we
can
do
as
a
cra.
Maybe
that's
the
legally
prudent
way
to
move
forward.
Our
legal
department
is
already
overburdened.
I
I
Absolutely
I
mean
if
we
have
family
members,
if
we
have
people
downstairs
they
can
they
can
get
help
right
away
because
the
money
is
already
available
and
I
think
that's
the
correct
way
to
move
forward
and
as
we
look
at
this
budget
coming
up,
we
can
see
about
allocating
more
to
that
fund
and
again
looking
at
the
cras
and
whatnot.
But
that's
action
that
we
can
safely
take
today
that
will
help
people
immediately.
Thank
you.
B
I'm
smiling
because
you
know
we
keep
saying
you
keep
saying
the
word
eligibility.
I
don't
know
what
the
eligibility
is
going
to
be
because
see
what
I
don't
want
to
hear.
I've
been
calling
I've
been
calling
I
can't
get
through
anybody
or
they
say
I'm
not
eligible
see.
That's
what
I
don't
want
to
hear
because
that's
going
to
happen.
B
Brown,
that's
going
to
happen
right,
so
everybody's
going
be
able
to
be
able
to
benefit.
Let
me
finish,
we'll
be
the
benefit.
So
for
me
I
don't
we
can
spend
the
money
she
already
dollars
but
see.
When
I
hear
spending
we
need
spending,
we
don't
even
talk
about
criteria
all
and
all
this
big
criteria
you
gotta
do
all
this
and
that
to
shut
people
out
because
that's
what's
gonna
happen,
the
door
gonna
get
shut
and
we're
gonna
be
back
here
to
square
one.
B
So
I
have
a
problem:
let's
start
spending
the
money,
but
we
better
have
a
criteria.
So
people
can
say
I
can
get
the
cash
and
the
number
two.
We
still
need
a
housing
study
in
this
city.
It
still
needs
to
be
done
and
see
what
the
real,
what
the
housing
do
we
have
in
this
city?
What
else
do
we
really
need
in
this
city
and
and
down
the
road?
B
We
may
still
need
to
come
back
to
this
thing
as
far
as
a
rent
stabilization
or
how
do
we
proceed
so
that
still
needs
to
be
done,
so
we
can
kick.
This
can
right
now
today
to
say
make
sure
that
march
1st
they
start
pushing
dishing
out
money,
but
what's
the
eligibility
and
number
two,
we
still
need
a
housing
study
to
deal
with
the
rent
crisis.
E
We
are
reacting
to
the
symptoms
and
we're
not
finding
the
cure.
Is
it
the
government's
position
to
find
work
for
people?
No,
it's
not,
but
we
can
use.
J
Our
our
powers
for
incentives
to
bring
better
paying
jobs
to
the
city,
people
earn
more
money
they're
going
to
afford
better
housing,
what's
to
say,
give
a
person
a
fish
again
or
show
them
how
to
catch
fish
or
show
them
how
to
catch
fish.
Yes,
sir
again
I
cannot
say
this
enough
citizens
of
tampa.
It's
not
our
hands
that
are
bound
call
your
state
legislatures,
call
your
state
senators
call
you
state
representatives,
they're
binding
your
hands.
B
G
I
know
we're
running
out
of
time.
Can
I
just
try
a
couple
quick
motions
and
see
if
they
stick.
I
I
M
I
I
mean
if
they've
already
provided
proof
of
income,
and
you
know
proof
that
they
have
a
job
and
what
and
they're
already
approved
to
live
in
that
apartment,
and
this
is
to
renew
their
lease.
That
should
I
mean
that's
more
than
enough
yeah,
you
verify
it,
but
if
they
have
it
on
the,
like,
the
the
speakers
previously
showed
today,
this
was
what
was
shown
to
me.
This
is
what
I
was
paying.
I
This
is
what
I
have
to
pay
now,
that
should
be
enough,
and
and
if
they
live
within
the
city
level,
right
they
have
to
live
within
the
city.
I
mean
there's
no
reason
to
deny
that
person
again
a
million
dollars.
You
know,
maybe
enough,
may
not
be
enough.
So
we
want
to
revisit
that.
If
we
see
that
it's
it
has
to
be
used,
I
mean
we're
we're
making
the
effort
and
if
that's
what
it
means
to
be
eligible.
Like
anything,
that's
very
simple.
P
B
P
H
Was
just
gonna
if
I
may
do
something
quickly,
something
you
said
you
want
to
help
those
the
most
with
the
least
starting
with
the
lease
yeah,
exactly
which
is
again.
I
want
people
to
understand
that
under
this
under
proposed
rent
stabilization,
whatever
it
may
be,
you
know
with
the
with
the
city
numbers
that
we've
been
presented,
etc.
H
This
would,
if
we
pass
through
every
single
hurdle,
that's
out
there
maybe
effect
seven
eight,
if
again,
with
the
information
that
we're
given
all
these
stipulations,
all
this
preface
etc
percent
of
applicable
renters
within
the
city
of
tampa,
such
as
small,
because
the
way
this
is
being
presented
is
as
if
this
is
a
significant
panacea,
and
it
apparently
is
not,
but
just
that's
it.
Thank
you.
B
I
mean
I
know
what
in
my
mind,
I
I
I
I've
been
around
a
long
time.
I
know
how
this
is
going
to
play
out,
but
again
I'm
listening
to
councilmembers
talk
and
we
talking
a
good
game,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
going
back
to
square
one.
That's
just
my
opinion.
What
I've
seen
and
I
just
know
that
we
we
ain't,
gonna,
really
put
a
dent.
Nothing.
We're
gonna,
put
a
band-aid
on
something
right
now,
but
we
still
gonna
have
an
issue.
P
Councilman
good,
you
mentioned
that
that
housing
study
and
so
there's
a
couple
of
things
if
we
were
to
move
forward
with
the
rent
stabilization,
that's
a
little
different
of
a
study
that
would
require
an
economist
and
a
consultant
to
come
in
and
do
that
and
I
want
to
temper
expectations.
Should
you
move
forward
with
that
that
the
people
that
we
heard
from
today
the
most
vulnerable
people
that
need
the
help
they
want
it
right
now?
They
need
that
help
right
now
and
moving
forward
with
rent
stabilization
is
not
an
immediate.
P
It's
not
an
immediate
fix,
and
I
want
to
temper
expectations
that
I'm
not
even
sure
that
we
could
get
a
study
back
by
that
deadline
that
you
have
for
you
to
act
on
it
through
two
two
votes,
two
council
meetings
to
be
able
to
get
it
to
the
supervisor
of
elections.
So
I
just
want
to
temper
those
expectations,
and
so
the
money
that
you
have
is
what
we're
going
to
do
right
now.
P
But
you
also
need
a
housing
needs
assessment
and
we've
talked
about
that
a
little
bit
and
that
talks
about
housing
choices
and
housing
options
in
the
community.
Not
just
affordable,
low
income,
housing,
and
so
we
are
requesting.
I
will.
It
is
my
intent
to
request
for
the
funding
for
that
in
the
upcoming
fiscal
year
to
go
ahead
and
do
a
housing
needs
assessment.
That
housing
needs
assessment
also
takes
time,
but
it
allows
us
to
strategically
plan
once
we
have
that
information
combined
with
our
comp
plan.
P
You
heard
some
that's
kicking
off
and
going
on
today
that
allow
us
to
layer
the
studies
that
we
have
and
figure
out.
Where
do
we
strategically
move
on
housing
choices
and
options?
So
the
housing
needs
assessment
is
something
that
I
plan
we're
going
to
move
forward
with
and
providing
whatever
direction.
You
provide
us
with
on
the
rent
stabilization
piece.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
if
you
do
that
those
are
two
separate
studies,
but
it
won't
happen
tomorrow
and
we
will
move
forward.
P
P
B
I
still
believe
in
that
even
you're
going
to
do
the
housing
assessment.
I
still
believe
we
need
an
economic
study,
because
this
is
not
changing
right
now.
It
could
be
a
year
out,
but
what
about
the
following
year?
We
we
still
need
the
study
to
say
how
do
we
help?
How
do
we
stop
or
how
do
we
craft
something?
So
we
can
help
our
constituents.
That's
my
concern.
G
Can
I
can
I
comment
on
that
and
make
these
movies?
I
agree
with
you.
You
know
it
created
the
tampa
scorecard,
because
we
have
to
look
at
tampa's
numbers
and
we
need
some
kind
of
economic
study
that
we
can
track
year
to
year
to
see.
If
we're
having
an
impact
too,
I
mean
with
all
the
money,
we're
spending
all
the
things
we're
doing.
We
need.
G
We
know
that
there's
at
least
a
50
000
unit
shortage
of
affordable
housing
and
we
can
count
the
numbers
we're
building
against
that,
but
we've
got
to
figure
out
economically
how
what
the
impact
is
for
each
of
these
I'd
just
like
to
ask
a
quick
legal
question.
One
of
the
ideas
that
came
out
today
and
yesterday
was
a
six-month
notice
to
landlords
morris.
Do
you
know
if
there's
any
prohibition
against
anybody?
F
B
Well,
that's
fair,
like
that.
Mr
carlson
moves
second
by
mr
maniscalco
vieira,
all
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
aye,
aye,
aye
opposed
monster
grant
and.
G
I
think
that's
just
a
small
example
where
we
would
like
to
listen
to
the
public's
ideas.
The
public
has
very
specific
ideas,
that's
something
that
could
go
into
effect
way
before
the
vote.
If,
if
we
proved
it
second
morris
or
or
any
attorney
is,
is
there
a
is
there
any
legal
meaning
of
the
term
housing
crisis.
G
So
I
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
that
tampa
city
council
declare
a
how
a
quote-unquote
housing
crisis
in
the
city
of
tampa
and
asked
the
city
and
cra
staff
to
meet
with
the
community
and
report
back
to
council
on
may
20.
On
the
may
26th
workshop
with
ideas,
we
can
implement
immediately
to
solve
the
housing
problem.
B
G
And
the
idea
there
is
that
the
reason
why
it's
may
26
is
because
our
schedule's
full-
and
we
can't
do
it
before
then,
and
but
what
I,
what
I
encourage
everybody
to
do
is
everybody
in
the
community.
There
are
obviously
a
lot
of
very
talented
people
have
done
research
on
these
issues.
Please
contact
us
contact
the
city
with
your
specific
ideas.
We
just
passed
one
of
them
the
six
month
notice
that
we're
going
to
bring
back
for
first
reading,
we're
listening
to
your
ideas.
G
G
E
B
If
your
office
is
getting
ready
to
do
it
needs
assessment,
I
I
like
to
I
like
that,
piggyback
on
with
the
stabilization
study
of
the
economic
person,
I
think
that
needs
to
be
hand
in
hand
with
that
that
way,
reaching
and
reaching
down
the
road
we're
gonna,
do
it.
Let's
do
it
all
in
one
shot.
Let's
get
it
all
done
in
one
shot.
I
don't.
G
One
one
of
the
things
we
did
and
we
can
I'm
happy
to
help
you
talk
to
usf
or
whatever,
but
we
need
some
kind
of
index
that
tracks
rental
rates
and
I
don't
know
how
how
an
economist
would
do
that.
But
we
also
need
to
track
it
at
different
tiers,
if
possible,
sure
not
just
an
average,
because
an
average
doesn't
capture.
You
know
different
bands
of
it.
So
let's
meet
with
them
and
figure
out.
P
And
then
we
once
we
tracking
the
rental
rates,
you
can
check
by
license
type
for
a
single
family
duplex,
but
you
also
have
multi-family
that's
regulated
by
the
state.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
little
different,
but
we
need
we'll.
Have
someone
come
in
and
help
aggregate
that
to
show
a
baseline
so
that
we
can
measure
them.
P
P
I'm
sorry,
don't
we
opera
month
we
do,
but
I
am
not
sure
I'm
not
prepared
to
answer
the
question
right
now.
If
that
can
come
from
arpa
funding,
I
know
that
internally
there's
work.
We
can
do
to
prepare
in
writing
the
rfp
and
everything
that
you've
talked
about
today.
There's
work
we
can
do
so
we're
not
just
waiting
for.
We.
B
P
G
Scopes-
and
we
also
have
cra-
I
don't
know
if
morris-
would
allow
us
to
spend
any
of
the
cra
money,
but
that
might
move
it
faster
if
we
don't
have
another
bucket.
I'd
rather
use
the
city
bucket,
but
if
we
have
to-
and
the
other
thing
is
that
usf
might
do
this
for
free
or
for
a
low
amount
and
if,
if
we
can
do
it
intergovernmental
great,
otherwise,
let's
do
an
rp.
But
I
think
this
is
like
a
20
000
project,
not
a
200
project.
G
B
I
won't
make
the
motion
today,
but
I'll
I'll,
give
you
a
couple
weeks
to
come
back
to
me
and
tell
me
what
the
plan
is
and
then
we'll
go
from
there,
because
then
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion
make
sure
it
gets
done
quicker
sooner
than
later
versus
october.
We
need
to
get
that
done
way
before
october.
Miss
travis.
P
P
One
million
that's
unrestricted
allocated
for
that,
so
there's
there's
more
money
that
helps
that
it's
layered
money,
so
the
unrestricted
health,
more
people
that
are
that
the
federally
funded
programs
can
federally
funded
dollars,
cannot
cover.
But,
starting
on
march
1st,
we
have
that
we
have
that
program
in
place
for
that
one
million
dollars,
which
is
helping
the
people
that
we
can't
help.
P
J
J
And
I
apologize
because
this
is
a
question
that
I
should
not
ask,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
and
you're
mine,
oh
boy,
a
million
dollars
seems
like
a
lot
of
money,
but
it's
not,
but
when
you
have
x
amount
of
people
going
for
the
million.
How
many
homeowners
are
you
think
you're
gonna
have
because
that's
for
one
year
right.
M
M
So,
based
on
the
million
dollars
and
just
what
the
average
rent
prices
are,
we
estimate
to
help
about
50
to
75
people
with
the
one
million
dollars,
that's
betw.
That
goes
up
to
the
140..
I
just
will
say,
though
we
do
have
other
programs
that
assist
with
the
same
and
we're
creating
lower
barriers
and
asking
that
would.
P
The
problems
that
you,
the
problems
that
was
discussed
today,
what
we've
heard
from
the
public
today
we're
talking
we're
talking
millions
and
millions
of
dollars,
and
so,
if
you
were
to
ask
me
to
give
you
a
dollar
amount
to
solve
it,
I'll
I'll
tell
you.
I
need
all
of
it,
but
we
can't
do
that
with
government.
We're
restricted.
P
P
P
B
I'm
going
to
say
this
to
the
citizens
as
a
chairman,
you
know
we
we
try
our
best
to
do
what's
right.
At
least
I
know
all
of
us
do,
but
sometimes
our
hands
do
get
tied
and
really
I
want.
I
don't
like
my
hands
being
tied,
but
we've
made
some
motions
today.
We've
got
some
commitments
from
the
staff
because
I
know
the
rent
stable.
This
rent
issue
is
not
going
away
anytime
soon,
so
we
have
to
move
on
there.
B
There
are
a
lot
of
issues
with
the
state
legislature,
but
those
are
the
folks
you
all
need
to
be
talking
to
and
banging
on
their
door
because
they're,
the
ones
that
put
these
laws
and
enact
these
laws,
and
we
only
can
do
so
much,
but
my
commitment
we're
going
to
keep
pushing
them
up
and
do
the
best
we
can
to
try
to
reallocate
dollars
if
we
have
to,
because
we
understand,
there's
a
situation
and
it's
going
to
get
worse
before
it
gets
better.
So
I
just
want
the
citizens
to
know
this.
B
This
council
is
committed
to
making
sure
that
we
do
the
right
things
for
our
constituents
and
for
tamper.
As
a
whole,
but
we
do
know
there
is
a
crisis
emergency
crisis
here,
there's
no
doubt
about
that.
I've
said
it
on
record
before
I
think
most
councilmembers
have
said
that
we
do
have
an
emergency
crisis
all
right.
We
thank
staff
and
I
think
I
think
mr
cotton
is
going
to
come
in
with
where
to
continue.
It.
