Personnel,

As

through
this
Council
agenda
today
in
support
of
community
sustainability
and
resiliency
with
the
right
level
of
service
at
every
doorstep,
let
us
focus
on
the
best
for
the
most
starting
with
the
least
of
these.
In
your
name,
we
pray,
amen.
E
B
You
very
much
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adopt
the
minutes
from
our
January

and
our

on
January

and
the

Let
the

F
Showing
yes
good
morning,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
city
council,
Martin
Shelby
city
council
attorney
very
briefly,
I'd
like
Council,
to
make
a
motion
to
waive
the
rules
to
allow
the
continued
use
of
CMT.
The
the
instructions
are

slash
City,
Council.
B
We
have
a

Miranda.
Was
it
man
of
Scott?
Well,
I'm,
sorry,
all
in
favor
say
aye.
Is
there
any
opposed?
Let
the
record
reflect
that
the
motion
has
passed
all
right.
Let's
go
through
the
approval
of
the
agenda
with
the
addendums.
First
tell
us
about
that.
B
C
F
C
G
B
G
Thank
you
also,
there's
been
a
significant
amount
of
discussion
and
questions
regarding
the
development
agreements
related
to
items
58
through
71.
I've
explained
it
to
you
guys
through
your
briefing
but
I,
think
for
the
public.
They
need
to
understand
why
we're
making
this
recommendation
so
I
respectfully
request
that
we
could
pull
those
off
and
perhaps
have
the
that
discussion
with
item
number
14
when
we're
talking
about
housing
and.
B
H
G
G
E
B
Motion
made
by
councilman
good
seconded
by
councilman
murder,
and
is
there
any
discussion
all
in
favor,
say
aye
any
opposition,
but
the
record
reflect
the
motion
has
passed.
B
B
We
will
have
a
brief
administrative
update
in
a
second
or
two
agenda.
Item
number
four:
that
is
a
resolution
agenda.
Item
number
five
is
also
a
resolution
agenda
item
number
six
councilman
Maniscalco.
B
Thank
you
very
much
chat
item
number:
seven:
councilman
Carlson.
Okay,
again,
you
have
agenda
item
number,
eight
councilman
Carlson!
Thank
you!
Councilman
good
job
agenda.
Item
number,
nine,
yes
and
I.
Believe,
however,
that
is
going
to
be
asking
for
a
continuance.
G
Yes,
sir,
there's
a
a
request
for
continuance
that
was
submitted
by
Parks
and
Rec
director
sharesha
Hills
to
April
6.
I
G
And
so
Deputy
City
Attorney
Morris
Massey
has
been
working
on
an
overall
policy
I'll.
Let
him
speak
to
that.
We
think
it's
our
recommendation
that
we
get
through
that
policy
first
before
we
make
this
right.
J
There's
a
motion
pending
for
us
to
come
back
on
the
16th
was
an
ordinance
codifying
the
honorary
naming
process.
We
originally
had
an
executive
order,
we're
trying
to
turn
that
into
ordinance
so
that
city,
council
and
the
mayor
both
have
equal,
say
in
honorary
naming
proposals.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
make
sure
that
we
get
the
ordinance
in
place
and
follow
that
process.
That's
that's
the
reason
for
the
the
requests.
B
K
M
K
To
sharesha-
and
we
said
we
she's
not
here
right-
can
I
continue
that
to.
B
I
He
was
talking
about
making
sure
when
the
the
plan
comes
back,
I
think
the
plan
to
do
to
come
back
after
a
couple
of
community
engagement
events
and
then
they'll
come
back
with
the
overall
Brandon
Council
for
any
I,
had
more
ideas
or
deletions
to
the
overall
strategic
plan
and.
C
I
think
too,
to
again
John
Banner
Chief
staff
to
augment
councilman
Goods
points.
It
should
align
very
well
with
your
next
Capital
Improvement
update,
which
is
the
precursor
to
the
next
budget.
So
all
those
things
should
come
together.
Well,
yeah.
B
B
N
If
I
could
have
Mr
bday,
although
he
did
transmit
a
written
report,
the
neighborhood
is
very,
very
concerned
about
this,
and
I
would
like
him
to
just
briefly
discuss
it.
B
B
Okay,
agenda
item
number
14
I
believe,
yes,
that
is
Council
want
her
tax.
Yes,
okay,
Council
excuse
me
agenda
item
number
15,
which
is
councilman
Maniscalco,
yes,
16.,
which
is
councilman
Vieira.
Who
is
not
here?
He
will
be
joining
us
shortly.
Miss
Travis
I
think
that
he
wanted
to
continue
this
I'm,
not
sure
he's
not
here
right
now.
Well,.
C
B
Motion
made
by
councilman
manuscript
was
seconded
by
councilman
Miranda.
All
in
favor
is
there
any
objection.
Motion
passes
agenda
item
number
18.
B
O
Yes,
yeah:
it's
a
sidewalk
discussion.
I've
already
talked
to
Mr
bday
about
this,
so
wherever
it
might
fit
in
best.
Q
B
Objection
at
the
record
reflect
promotion,
passes
Mr,
Shelby
I
believe
you
wanted
to
also
discuss
the
resolution
to
new
business.
Yes,.
F
This
is
on
the
addendum
Mr
chairman.
Thank
you.
Martin
Shelby
city
council
attorney
I've,
gotten
some
good
feedback
on
that
matter.
There
are
some
things
that
do
need
clarification
and
councilman
Vieira
did
make
the
good
suggestion
to
talk
to
each
council
member
individually.
There
are
certain
decision
points
it's
going
to
be,
there's
going
to
be
more
coming
back
on
March,
2nd.
F
That
was
council's
Direction
at
the
at
the
workshop.
So
I'd
like
this
to
be
continued
to
that
and
I'll
bring
it
back
as
a
full
package
and
be
able
to
meet
with
each
council
member
and
please
which.
F
B
B
K
Thank
you
so
much
for
to
my
colleagues
for
allowing
us
to
have
the
orchestra
spend
a
few
minutes
just
giving
us
an
update,
we're
lucky
to
have
such
a
high
quality
Orchestra
in
this
area.
They
have
very
strong
attendance
and
they
go
between
Tampa
and
Saint,
Pete
and
I
think
we're
proud
to
have
them
in
Tampa
and
want
them
to
engage
more
so
they're
going
to
give
us
an
update.
Thank
you
great.
R
Thank
you.
I
am
Mark
Cantrell
a
president
and
CEO
of
The,
Florida,
Orchestra
and
I
really
appreciate
you
guys
letting
me
come
in
here
briefly
to
just
give
you
an
update
on
what
we're
doing
in
this
great
Community.
I
will
just
say:
great
communities
have
great
leadership
and
with
the
vibrancy
and
the
growth
and
the
excitement
that
is
in
Tampa
Bay.
That
is
a
reflection
on
the
work
that
you
do
so
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
in
the
Arts
world.
R
Thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
and
making
the
setting
the
table
for
us
to
have
a
very
vibrant
Arts
here,
so
your
Florida
Orchestra
has
been
in
business
for
55
years.
We
have
been
in
Tampa
a
very
long
time.
We
employ
72.
Full-Time
musicians,
who
are
fully
professional
I,
would
liken
the
quality
of
what
they
do
to
being
very
similar
to
what
we
have
with
our
major
league
sports
teams.
These
are
people
who
are
at
the
very
top
of
their
game.
When
you
hear
them
in
concert,
you
have
to
agree
with
them.
R
R
We
are
led
by
an
internationally
acclaimed
music
director,
Michael
Francis,
who
was
an
absolute
rock
star
and
soon
to
be
quite
possibly
the
next
Leonard
Bernstein
in
the
entire
music
worlds,
who
are
very
fortunate
to
have
him
here
and
he
lives
here
in
the
Tampa
area
from
Lutz,
we
play
more
than
100
concerts
per
season.
R
R
R
We
do
a
very
wide
variety
of
offerings
when
you
think
of
a
symphony
orchestra,
we
usually
think
of
Brahms
Bach
Beethoven,
but
we're
much
more
than
that.
We
play
from
September
to
May
over
36
week,
36
week
season,
we
will
play
Masterworks,
which
we
all
know
our
Pops
concerts,
which
we
also
know,
but
we
also
play
rock
concerts.
We
also
do
live
film
scores.
We
have
something
for
literally
everyone
and
we
are
always
exploring
new
options.
We
also
step
out
of
the
concert
hall.
R
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
were
there
recently,
but
it
was
my
first
Bucks
game
that
I
got
to
go
to
a
Monday
night
football
game
back
in
December,
where
your
brass
section
from
your
Florida
Orchestra
played
at
the
halftime
show,
was
a
a
quite
an
experience
to
play
for
80
000
screaming
people
I
assure
you
musicians
absolutely
loved
it.
We
also
have
formed
a
new
partnership
here
in
Tampa
that
we're
very
excited
about
with
the
stress,
Center
and
Opera
Tampa.
R
We
are
now
the
orchestra
for
Opera
Tampa,
We
Believe,
firmly
in
the
future
of
the
Opera
here,
and
we
think
that
that
is
a
partnership
and
a
collaboration
that
will
deliver
great
great
things
in
the
future
as
this
community
grows.
R
We
also,
as
you
know,
do
many
Parks
concert.
You
know,
particularly
at
Julian
B
Lane,
which
we
are
very
happy
with
the
facility
there.
It
has
a
wonderful
park,
it
does
a
great
place
to
bring
music
free
to
the
people
of
the
community
and
an
outdoor
in
a
setting.
That
is,
is
just
wonderful
and
we
have
our
next
concert.
There
will
be
on
Mother's
day,
we'll
have
a
nice
tribute
to
all
the
mothers
out.
There
be
wonderful
concert.
R
We
also
play
at
River
Tower
Park,
unfortunately,
this
year,
that
concert
got
postponed
due
to
about
six
inches
of
water
standing
on
the
ground
there
and
the
city
recommended
that
we
not
try
and
play
a
concert
in
a
flood
which
we
heartily
agreed
with
so
34
out
of
our
36
weeks
that
we
are
here,
we
are
at
the
stress,
Center
and
the
stress
Center
is
our
was
our
first
venue
that
we
ever
had
as
a
Florida
Orchestra
from
1968,
and
it
is
our
largest
venue
and
we
are
very
happy
with
the
partnership
we
have
with
him.
R
So,
but
we'd
also
do
a
lot
more
than
just
concerts
in
in
building
the
community
on
our
journey
that
we're
trying
to
take
us
all
on.
We,
we
have
many
other
Partnerships,
for
instance,
in
the
summertime
we
partner
with
Patel
Conservatory,
offering
an
intensive
program
with
TFO
musicians
for
the
summertime
youth
in
the
area.
We're
very
happy
that's
a
new
partnership
that
we
just
developed
and
it
seems
to
be
bearing
fruit
already.
We
also
have
a
partnership
with
Hillsborough
Community
College,
in
which
we
have
Outreach
programs
going
through
them.
R
We
have
a
program
TFO
strings
for
kids
teaching
violin
in
the
rec
centers
over
here
in
Hillsborough
County,
and
these
are
for
at
youth
rest.
These
are
free
and
if
you
ever
have
a
chance,
we'll
send
out
information
to
you
if
you'd
like,
if
you
ever
have
a
chance
to
go,
see
the
impact
that
these
kids
have.
There
is
nothing
like
watching
a
10
year
old
or
an
11
year
old
for
the
first
time
playing
a
concert
with
the
violin,
the
passion
that
they
have.
R
It
reminds
us
of
why
we
do
what
we
do
and,
of
course
we
have
our
youth
concerts
that
reach
more
than
10
000
students
that
we
do
at
the
Straz
Center
and
for
a
lot
of
them.
This
is
their
first
time
and
hopefully
not
last
time
to
experience
an
orchestra
to
experience
the
thrill
of
being
in
a
hall
of
2
000,
other
people
screaming
and
being
excited
for
the
music
that
they've
been
hearing
and
learning
about
in
their
classrooms.
R
Of
course,
we
have
the
long
time,
Yankees
Steinbrenner
Foundation
partnership,
that
we
do,
which
we
absolutely
love,
and
we
had
to
take
a
pause
on
that
for
safety
reasons
for
covet.
But
this
year
it
came
back
and
it
was
just
an
absolutely
smashing
success.
R
And
then
we
do
the
master
classes
up
at
USF,
where
we
have
Michael
Francis
goes
in
and
works
with
their
Orchestra
and
works
with
her
conductors
to
help
further
the
next
generation
of
not
only
musicians
but
music
lovers
and
and
help
to
build
them
to
be
more
civically
minded
about
what
you
know
the
place
of
an
orchestra
in
a
community
and
then
with
the
Tampa
Metro
Youth
Orchestra,
one
of
our
great
youth
assets.
We
have.
R
People
are
moving
here
in
in
droves,
and
a
lot
of
those
people
are
coming
from
places
that
have
great
art
and
they
and
and
great
cities
demand
great
art,
and
the
demand
that
we
are
starting
to
see
here
now
is
nothing
short
of
spectacular,
and
we
are
here
to
help
partner
with
everybody
to
make
this
a
greater
place.
We
are
a
cultural
Beacon
of
Excellence
that
moves
Tampa
forward
and
puts
us
on
the
map
as
a
cultural
destination.
R
I
would
like
to
invite
all
of
you
to
come
as
my
guest
to
any
of
the
concert
offerings
that
we
have
see
what
we
do.
I
think
you
will
be
very
surprised
at
the
quality
of
your
Orchestra.
We
have
many
guest
conductors
from
all
over
the
the
world
come
here,
and
we
hear
the
same
thing
all
the
time
they
are
shocked
at
how
good
this
Orchestra
has
become.
R
We
are
committed
to
the
future
of
this
city.
We
are
committed
to
making
sure
that
Tampa
Bay
becomes
one
of
the
great
cities
in
our
nation,
and
arts
is
just
one
part
of
it,
but
we
appreciate
all
of
your
support
for
everything
that
the
city
of
Tampa
has
done
for
the
Florida
Orchestra.
This
is
your
Florida
Orchestra.
This
is
We
Exist
because
of
the
work
that
you
guys
do
in
helping
us
Build
a
Better
Community.
B
K
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
to
give
us
update
today
and
if
for
anybody
who's
watching,
the
orchestra
is
not
just
something:
that's
nice
to
have
it's
essential
for
economic
development.
In
our
area
years
ago,
in
the
strata
Center
was
built
and
Orchestra
was
created,
it
was
looked
at
as
a
box
that
you
had
to
check.
K
Just
like
you
need
a
football
team,
you
need
a
strat
Center,
you
know
Orchestra,
you
need
a
museum,
but
it's
completely
evolved
since
then,
and
we
see
Industries
and
jobs
being
created
out
of
this.
The
programming
that
the
strata
Center
does
to
train
kids,
the
programming
that
the
orchestra
does
we've
seen,
kids
go
on
to
Broadway
and
other
places
around
the
world.
They
create
businesses.
Here
you
know
every
kid
wants
to
be
a
YouTube
Star.
Now.
A
K
Learn
how
to
do
that
there
and
they
they
monetize
the
ideas,
but
even,
as
importantly,
I've
interviewed
a
lot
of
cios
and
CEOs
of
tech
companies
and
they
all
say
their
very
best.
Programmers
they're,
smartest
best
and
brightest
thought
leaders
in
their
tech.
Companies
are
musicians
and
they
code
and
they
work
in
the
day
because
that's
how
they
make
money,
but
their
true
love
is
music
and
and
so,
if
we
want
to
have
a
thriving
Tech
scene,
we
need
to
have
that
and
I'll
just
add
one
other
personal
note.
K
If
I'm
correct
Mark
you
play
the
trombone,
is
it
yeah
yeah
and
back
around
98.99
I
was
in
Boston
I,
went
to
see
the
Boston
Symphony
Orchestra
and
John
Williams,
who
is
the
great
composer
of
all
the
Star
Wars
music
Indiana
Jones
Jaws,
just
about
every
big
movie
you
can
think
of
and
and
Mark
was
playing
in
the
audience.
K
It
was
The
Phantom
Menace,
the
launch
of
The
Phantom,
Menace,
music
and
John
Williams
was
a
conductor
but
but
Mark
actually
got
to
play
and
perform
with
John
Williams,
which
I
I
look
forward
to
hearing
more
more
stories
about.
Also
one
shout
out
in
the
back:
Susanna
Weymouth
who's
with
him
is
a
strong
Arts
leader
was
the
head
of
the
regional
Arts
Association
they're
very
lucky
to
have
her
her.
K
If
you
don't
know
her
husband,
Yan
is
a
great
architect
to
design
the
Dali
Museum,
the
James
Museum,
but
he
also
was
the
guy
who
worked
with
imp
on
building
the
pyramids
at
the
Louvre
and
and
they
both
have
and
she
used
to
work
with
Henry
Kissinger.
They
have
fantastic
stories
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
your
contribution
in
the
community
right.
N
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I've
I've
enjoyed
the
Florida
Orchestra
for
probably.
P
N
20
years
in
college,
I
would
attend
the
Masterworks
concerts.
It
was
Stefan,
sanderlin
I
believe
was
there
at
the
time
it
was
always
enjoyable,
a
lot
of
good
memories,
Pops
in
the
park
or
at
the
Straz
Center.
You
mentioned
Leonard
Bernstein
and
reminded
me
of
some
of
my
favorite
music.
Do
you
have
anything
coming
up
where
it's
West
Side
Story
Sound
of
Music
MGM
musicals,
that
kind
of
stuff
yeah.
R
We
have
in
our
program
we
have
some
pops
concerts
coming
up
very
interesting
pops
concerts.
I.
Think
people
will
like
we
started
with
a
nod
to
the
Oscars
and
we're
going
to
end
with
a
nod
to
Broadway.
I
may
have
that
backwards.
You'll
have
to
pardon
me
if
you're
asking
me
for
program
questions
right
now,
we're
finalizing
next
season.
Okay,
so
they
get
in
enter
mixed
over
each
other,
but
we
also
have
a
Star
Wars
versus
Harry
Potter
coming
up.
Okay,
we
have
it.
R
It
is,
and
that
is
going
to
be
a
fantastic
concert.
We
have
a
we.
We
try
with
our
POPS
Program,
coming
to
reach
a
wide
variety,
for
instance
this
weekend
we're
doing
the
music
of
Abbey
Road.
So
we
go
from
everything
from
Billy,
Joel
and
Led
Zeppelin,
all
the
way
to
your
for
pops
to
Rogers
and
Hammerstein,
and
all
this
but
yeah.
That
is
an
important
part
of
what
we
do
to
make
sure
we
can
reach
an
inner.
That's
the
intersect
and
interact
part
of
what
we
do.
P
Glenn
going
way
back
when
I
was
a
little
teenager
before
teenage
age
at
the
boys
club.
It
was
not
the
boys
and
girls
club
named
then,
and
it
is
what
it
is.
The
past
history
is
past
history,
but
I,
remember
being
about
eight
or
ten
years
old,
and
they
took
us
to
play
a
little
concert
just
a
little
group
of
about
10
of
us,
and
it
was
the
only
TV
station
in
the
area.
It
was
channel
38
in
St
Petersburg,
and
that
was
the
one
that
was
most
famous
for
Rags
the
tiger.
P
That
was
an
article
that
they
wrote
and
it
was
a
story
about
a
beautiful
thing
and
we
did
that
at
the
boys
club
and
we
learned
a
lot
from
music
and
I
can
tell
you
even
through
High
School.
Although
I
was
not
a
good
player.
I
just
got
in
to
make
a
great,
so
I
can
look
good
when
I
have
my
my
going
for
apply
for
somewhere
else,
but
there
were
some
individuals
in
that
group
that
I
can
mention
right
now,
like
Jack
Maniscalco
became
a
spine
and
brain
surgeon.
P
Betty
Minnesota
became
a
heart
doctor
and
the
most
famous
of
all
of
them
is
Dennis
propello,
who
was
a
world-renowned
heart?
Surgeon
I
think
even
did
a
heart
transplant
way
way
back
when
it
was
not
popular,
but
all
those
music
players,
especially
trombone
section
I,
remember,
Richard
Perris
was
a
trump
bonus
and
we
had
a
great
group,
and
that
was
I
was
not
in
the
group.
P
Then
I
was
doing
other
things,
but
that
was
the
first
time
that
Jefferson
ever
received
the
Covenant
Award
of
I
think
a
class
when
they
went
to
competition
in
the
state
and
most
of
those
individuals
that
played
the
music,
like
we
said
earlier,
became
something
that
everybody
looked
to
Aspire
to
be
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
music.
Settles
you
down,
no
matter
what
kind
of
music
it
is
and
I
love
them
all.
But
thank
you
for
what
you
do
and
don't
ask
me
to
play
with
you,
because.
R
Thank
you.
It's
funny
that
you
say
that,
because
people
don't
understand
what
we
do
in
music
really
and
the
power
of
what
it
is
and
having
lived
in
this
world,
my
entire
life
I
also
was
an
airline
pilot
before
I
became
a
CEO,
so
I've
I've
had
an
interesting
career,
but
from
day
one
when
we
walk
into
a
practice
room
like
your,
the
colleagues
that
you
just
mentioned
were
problem
solvers.
How
do
we
play
this?
How
do
we
do
this?
R
We
fail
practice
room
so
that
we
can
see
succeed
on
stage,
but
is
that
learning
to
be
problem?
Solvers
on
the
spot
is
one
of
the
powers
that
has
not
talked
about
about
music
and
to
talk
about.
You
know
when
we're
talking
about
I.T
Judy
Faulkner
up
in
Madison
Wisconsin,
who
owns
epic
medical
software
systems.
Her
number
one
recruit
is
at
colleges,
you
know
art
colleges
or
you
know
music
schools,
because
she
said
they
can
think
creatively.
O
Just
want
to
Echo
folks
thanks
as
a
former
Elementary
School
teacher
music
was
a
giant
part
of
our
day
and
we
really
I
really
worked
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
used
music
and
all
in
many
different
things.
We
did,
and
so
I'm
really
happy
to
hear
how
you
are
still
trying
to
reach
Every
Generation.
O
B
S
Good
morning,
I'm,
chairman
Cedro
and
council
members,
I'm
LaShawn,
Dock
and
I-
am
a
member
of
the
city
of
Tampa
black
history
committee's
executive
board.
I
have
with
me
today
I'm
Shirley,
Fox,
Knowles
and
Frank
Crum.
They
are
also
members
of
the
executive
board,
but
I'm
here
today,
speaking
for
our
president
Mrs
Katrina
house,
who
could
not
be
here
today
but
I
do
want
to
thank
you.
We
certainly
appreciate
you
allowing
us
to
come
before
you
this
morning
to
announce
our
upcoming
celebration.
So
this
is
our
35th
annual
celebration.
S
This
celebration
will
be
held
on
Monday
February
13th
at
11
A.M.
The
celebration
will
be
held
at
the
Tampa
Convention
Center.
This
is
in
Ballroom
C.
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
this
is
our
35th
Anniversary.
We're
excited
to
announce
our
keynote
speaker
would
be
Dr
Tanja,
Williams,
Dr
Williams
is
president
of
Saint
Petersburg
College,
and
she
will
be
our
keynote
speaker
speaking
on
our
theme
of
then,
and
now,
a
remarkable
Journey
education
and
scholarship.
S
B
B
B
B
T
Good
morning,
council
members,
my
name
is
Cheryl
Schroeder
I'm,
with
the
West
Central
Florida
labor
Council.
We
represent
union
members
and
their
families
in
the
Tampa
Bay
area.
I'm
here
to
speak
on
item
number
13,
that's
on
the
agenda
for
today,
and
it
would
be
a
report
regarding
the
latest
city
project,
the
city
center.
That
would
be
the
first
project
under
the
recently
passed
apprenticeship
ordinance,
and
this
apprenticeship
ordinance
is
a
first
and
foremost
concern
to
us.
The
ordinance
was
passed
as
a
pathway,
a
generator
of
career-oriented
jobs
in
the
Tampa
Bay
area.
T
It
was
City
dollars
being
used
to
develop
City
it
residents
in
a
career
path.
We
are
very
anxious
to
see
what
the
report
comes
out
if
it
is
less
than
what
we
had
hoped
for,
because
we
have
been
very
frustrated
by
a
lack
of
information
regarding
this
project,
but
regardless
moving
forward.
I
really
hope
that
the
city
council
will
audit
these
projects
more
carefully
to
make
sure
that
they
align
with
the
ordinance
that
you
passed
and
felt
was
important
enough
to
provide
opportunities
for
our
youth,
men
and
women
here
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Area.
B
Yes,
last
time
that
I
saw
a
bunch
of
the
union
members
I
made
it
my
promise
and
I
believe
there's
some
member
union
members
here.
B
T
Councilman
Citra,
we
are
aware
of
that.
We
also
noticed
that
Mr
Maniscalco
was
the
excuse
me.
Mr
Miranda
was
actually
the
second
on
that
motion,
but
I
do
know
in
conversations
with
the
various
leaders
on
this
Council
that
everybody
has
had
a
concern
regarding
this
and
I
really
appreciate
your
attention
to
this.
You
know
moving
forward
that
we
really
firm
up
this
process
to
ensure
that
this
ordinance
is
enacted
and
implemented
in
an
appropriate
way.
Sure
we
are
all
waiting.
B
I
Schroeder
has
listed
10
points.
I
know,
Miss
Kalina
will
speak
on
that
item
at
that
time.
I'd
probably
make
a
motion
to
have
this
inner
and
they
can
respond
to
the
Union's
questions.
B
K
U
Good
morning,
honey
Burton
as
we
discuss
African
History
Month
moving
forward
I
I,
just
would
like
to
say
that
the
reflection
of
what
I
see
happening
in
this
city
every
day
get
rise
to
what
Dr
King
described
in
one
of
his
last
speeches
as
the
other
America,
and
what
I
see
constantly
is
the
other
Tampa.
U
U
That's
two
days
ago,
young
man
27
years
old
dead
in
the
middle
of
the
afternoon
too
many
young
people
growing
up
being
with
without
their
fathers
too
many
young
men
is
going
to
prison
all
of
these
programs,
and
yet
the
outcome
is
almost
the
same
from
the
time
that
Dr
King
gave.
That
speaks
to
what
we're
looking
at
right.
Now,
two
weeks,
I
mean
a
month
ago.
U
You
talked
about
your
wonderful,
not
Apprentice
program,
but
I
made
a
request
to
see
how
well
is
African
people
doing
with
the
contracts
Dallas
one
was
given
almost
like
14
million
dollars.
The
other
company
was
given
Dallas
one
and
JB
construction,
and
just
looking
at
the
paper,
African
Americans
won
450
000,
who
could
he
hire
most
of
the
African
contractors?
That
was
only
she
lived
in
Saint
Petersburg
are
out
of
place.
U
Things
are
not
improving
for
our
community
here.
When
we
talk
about
housing
Equity
we
look
at
even
our
CRA
is
looking
at
raising
how
they
would
give
down
payment
assistance
for
housing.
That's
costing
upward
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
it
does
seem,
like
all
systems,
are,
go
leaving
a
whole
group
of
people
behind.
U
U
You
should
want
to
do
better
in
this
climate,
when
we've
just
asked
for
simple
things
of
a
citizen
review
board,
don't
think
Tampa
is
removed
from
Memphis
Tennessee,
because
I
remember
when
that
young
man,
Dominique
Market,
was
killed
right
there
on
50th
Street,
although
it
was
ruled
just
the
Bible,
he
had
over
100
bullets
in
his
body.
This
is
the
Tampa
that
I
know
I
don't
come
asking
for
myself,
but
the
quality
of
life
for
black
people
must
improve
in
this
community.
Thank
you.
V
Manchester
is
not
Tampa,
Florida
I
want
to
say,
huru
huru
means
freedom
and
Swahili.
We
say
we
as
African.
People
should
always
be
thinking
about
our
freedom,
because
we
see
every
day
they
show
us
every
day
how
to
keep
us
intimidated.
When
you
see
the
police
beating,
Africans,
shooting
Africans,
killing
Africans
hitting
us
with
cars,
tasing
us
doing
all
kind
of
inhumane
things
to
us.
V
I
hate
to
say
that
ain't
even
no
big
deal,
all
you
have
to
do
is
stay,
prayed
up
and
hope
you're,
not
the
one.
That's
all
black
parents
have
to
do
hope.
Our
kids
come
home,
safe
hope
they
don't
get
shot
like
an
animal
in
the
street
and
not
necessarily
by
thugs
or
gangsters
by
the
real
thugs
or
gangsters
which
is
the
police.
V
But
that's
not
a
big
deal.
Trayvon
Martin
is
not
a
big
deal.
Rodney
King's,
not
a
big
deal
when
Malcolm
X
caught
on
to
the
fact
that
we're
saying
when
Malcolm
X
got
a
little
bit
of
sense
and
started
understanding,
African
internationalism
and
started
saying
people
like
Martin,
Luther,
King
and
Elijah
Muhammad,
and
all
that
nonsense.
They
were
feeding
African
people
wasn't
nothing
but
a
bunch
of
coons
when
they
caught
on
to
it
themselves
that
white
people
got
us
on
the
wrong
track.
V
Then
the
white
folks
had
to
kill
them.
But
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
the
stuff
that
white
folks
got
us
on
that
Benjamin
Crump
and
that
police
murder
that
ain't
no
big
deal
White
America
in
this
white
world.
That's
11
of
this
population
is
responsible.
White
businesses
and
white
governments
is
responsible
for
a
hundred
thousand
deaths
a
day
a
day,
black
deaths
a
day
from
all
kinds
of
reasons,
and
they
got
the
black
buffoons
around
here.
V
Talking
about
speed,
bumps
and
parks
and
four-way
stop
signs
and
Black
History
Month
in
Martin,
Luther,
King,
parades
and
Juneteenth.
It's
ignorant.
We
got
to
talk
about
reparations
and
we
have
to
talk
about
what
these
white
folks
owe
us.
We
got
to
talk
about
fighting
the
police
for
real
for
real
for
real
the
same
way.
White
folks
want
their
second
amendment
rights.
That's
the
same
way.
We
want
our
second
amendments
rights
to
fight
back
the
people,
that's
murdering
us
every
day.
We
want
our
rights
for
that.
V
We
need
our
reparations,
623
trillion
dollars
owed
to
us.
We
need
the
reparations
that
this
city,
always
this
garbage
videos,
that's
Rising!
When
you
look
around
everything,
look
good
for
white
folks
and
it
looked
garbage
in
our
community
white
folks,
ain't
that
smart
but
y'all
just
think
we're
that
dumb
we're
not
that
dumb
we
have
to
we
African
people
have
to
get
them
under
important
issues
that
affect
affect
our
lives
and
our
children's
lives.
V
H
Good
morning
my
name
is
Captain
Frank
Williams,
located
at
1112,
East,
Scott,
Street
and
I
come
in
that
brother
and
sister
came
up
and
spoke
before.
I
did
because
they
ain't
doing
nothing
but
telling
the
truth
and
the
truth
need
to
be
heard.
When
y'all
sit
up
there
and
look
at
us
that
we
stupid
y'all
need
to
take
a
hint,
we
be
the
people
and
the
reason
we're
trying
to
do.
What's
right,
I
was
looking
at
TV
the
other
night.
H
It
was
a
shame
that
I
had
to
look
at
it,
Memphis
Tennessee
order
where
they
did
that
poor
fella
boy,
it's
ridiculous,
but
then
only
doing
him
like
that
you're
doing
me
and
everybody
out
there
color,
we
treating
us
all
work
in
the
worst
way.
We
can.
You
know
it's
United,
States
ain't,
what
it's
supposed
to
be
and
I'm
just
let
you
know
I'm
gonna,
believe
in
Jesus,
Christ
I
trusted
in
God
almighty,
but
y'all.
Trying
to
take
everything
away
from
me
is
perverse.
H
H
Everything
y'all
hear
me
saying
is
in
violation
when
they
come
down
to
people
of
color,
but
I
have
to
let
y'all
know
something.
As
long
as
we
got
life
in
our
body,
we're
gonna
keep
coming
here.
You
are
not
going
to
discourage
you
you're,
going
to
speak
the
truth
to
you
whether
you
want
to
hear
it
or
not,
Atlanta
good.
W
H
That
woman,
that
you
all
got
up
there
with
y'all
calling
Mia
she
ain't
doing
nothing
for
us
and
she
get
left
turn
down
for
father,
but
we
got
to
care
about
ourselves.
I
know!
People
don't
want
to
hear
me.
Talk
like
this,
but
I
got
to
speak
the
truth,
because
you
got
people
coming
at
me
and
I'm
about
my
church
start
taking
the
church
want
to
want
to
give
it
to
the
Puerto
Rican
people,
Puerto
Ricans
people
think
they're
white,
but
they
don't
realize
they're.
H
Just
like
I
am
in
the
same
truth
that
I
want,
regardless
of
what
they
think
about
themselves.
But
we
got
to
understand.
Give
people
that
call
yourself,
politicians,
star,
treating
black,
looks
like
you're
supposed
to
be
treated.
That's
all
we
had.
We
ain't
nothing,
but
soon
of
the
United
States
of
America.
Stop
ringing
that
damn
thing
I
heard
it
the
first
time.
X
X
Somehow
my
heart
didn't
feel
quite
so
heavy
anymore
and
I
realized
the
truth.
In
his
words,
which
brings
me
today
summoning
that
strength
and
fairness,
fierceness
to
fight
for
something
I
believe
in
something
I
know,
counsel
can
make
right
as
I'm
sure
most.
If
not
all
of
you
have
heard
by
now,
Memorial
Park
Cemetery,
the
over
100
year
old,
designated
black
Cemetery,
that
boasts
a
veterans.
Monument
was
recently
slow,
sold
at
a
blind
bid
auction
for
eighteen
thousand
dollars.
X
X
This
is
also
the
same
Cemetery
where
Press
Conference
was
held
days
before
Martin
Luther
King
Jr
day
and
I
quote:
protecting
forgotten,
abandoned
or
vulnerable
cemeteries
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
Mayor,
Jane,
Castro,
Castro,
January,
Castor,
January,

2022.
At
that
same
press
conference
mayor
Castor
quotes
Martin
Luther,
King
Jr.
X
X
This
seems
to
be
the
way
of
the
city,
though,
because
recently
not
even
the
real
boundaries
for
dolbyville
remain
intact.
As
such,
the
city
and
one
fell
stroke,
Changed,
History
black
history,
and
that
council
is
how
history
black
history
is
erased
and
or
forgotten.
Let
me
add
that
saying
there
is
no
funding
is
not
an
option.
We're
spending
billions
to
make
Tampa
a
better
place,
I
know,
and
you
know,
if
there's
a
will,
there's
a
way.
I
implore,
you
I
beg
you
find
the
way
find
that
way:
save
Memorial,
Park
Cemetery.
B
I
Fresh
legal
I
did
not
make
a
statement
about
the
cemetery.
The
other
day,
once
I
found
out
the
process.
I
do
have
a
meeting
scheduled
with
Mr,
Massey
and
Travis
has
released
in
the
cemetery,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
say
my
notes
publicly.
Now
the
new
property
owner
of
the
cemetery
should
know.
I
Several
calls
on
this
and
I'm
sure
they
did
a
legal
team
and
academic
development
director
will
get
on
this.
To
get
me
some
answers
and
deal
with
this
accordingly.
Thank
you,
chair

M
Ray
Reed
1421
Hilton,
Place
old
Seminole,
Heights
Tampa
Florida,
some
of
you
I've,
met
before
Mr
Maniscalco
I
apologize.
We
never
did
get
together
that
Cemetery
at
30th
and
sly,
but
I
want
to
tell
you
that
in
my
research
and
I've
spent
seven
years
going
through
death
certificates,
City
burial
permits
through
newspapers.com.
M
M
The
cemetery
was
originally
called.
Brickyard
became
known
as
Robles,
because
Sly
was
Robles
Avenue
until
the
slides
in
1903
the
corner
of.
What's
now
Sly
in
Nebraska,
where
the
gas
station
is
built,
their
country
home,
the
history
of
Tampa
may
not
agree
with
some
of
the
comments
here
entirely
that
have
been
made,
but
the
history
of
Tampa
has
been
candy
coated
and
is
so
much
Ridiculousness.
The
only
thing
I
can
rely
into
is
in
the
movie.
M
The
Producers
Springtime
for
Hitler
portraying
World
War
II
was
a
bunch
of
Busby
Berkeley,
dancing,
girls
and
whatever
that's
what
we've
done
with
Tampa
History,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
the
Cuban
population,
the
early
immigrants
who
built
the
cigar
factories.
They
were
treated
no
differently
than
the
black
population
and
when
you
read
some
of
the
things
in
the
newspapers
that
actually
went
on
and
then
you
watch
what's
portrayed
in
the
History
Center
I,
wouldn't
if
I
was
up
there,
I'd
make
a
motion
that
the
History
Center
be
renamed
story.
M
One
of
the
projects
I've
been
involved
with
is
going
through
and
for
every
sketchy
or
a
race
Cemetery
recording
the
number
of
death
certificates
through
1939
Hillsborough
County
only
started
filing
them
in
July
of
1913.
So,
prior
to
that
time,
some
Tampa
burial
permits.
But
since
you
had
West
Tampa,
you
had
Gary,
you
had
the
federal
district.
Their
information
is
gone.
W
Hello,
my
name
is
Holly
Reed
I
live
at
2059,
Ronald
Circle
in
Seffner.
For
a
long
time,
it's
been
known
that
Memorial,
Park
Cemetery,
holds
a
large
number
of
unmarked
burials.
Last
summer,
I
took
I,
undertook
a
big
project
trying
to
count
the
number
of
burials
in
Memorial
Park,
using
publicly
available
documents,
and
my
estimate
for
the
number
of
burials
there
is
around
twenty
thousand.
The
number
of
marked
barrels
listed
on
findagrave.com
is
5776..
W
That
means
there
are
approximately
fourteen
thousand
unmarked
burials
in
Memorial
Park
for
the
first
part
of
the
count,
I
use
Florida,
State
death
certificates
on
familysearch.org
and
created
a
spreadsheet,
counting
5148
barrels
from
1920
to
1939..
There
may
be
a
few
unmarked
burials
who
were
moved
from
other
cemeteries
or
who
died
outside
of
Hillsborough
County
and
then
were
brought
back
for
the
second
part
of
the
count.
I
created
a
spreadsheet
listing
the
Memorial
Park
obituaries
in
the
Florida
bulletin,
Sentinel
newspaper,
going
from
November
of
1958
to
the
end
of
2004..
W
The
total
number
from
that
is
9678..
The
number
is
likely
somewhat
low
because
not
everyone
received
an
obituary,
as
well
as
those
who
were
buried
there
after
2004.,
because
there
are
no
documents
that
are
currently
publicly
available
to
count.
The
burials
from
1940
to
1958
I
can
only
estimate
estimate
by
placing
the
number
of
burials
from
that
time
to
be
around
five
thousand.
All
in
all,
this
comes
to
about
20,
000
burials.
The
city
of
this
is
the
city
of
Tampa's
chance
to
do
right
by
its
historic
black
cemeteries,
and
it
shouldn't
be
missed.
A
B
Y
Good
morning
my
name
is
Sarah
Taylor
I'm,
the
marketing
and
PR
manager
with
gmf
Steel
Group,
we're
based
in
Lakeland
Florida,
we're
a
structural
steel,
fabrication
and
erection
company,
but
we
do
work
all
over
the
southeast,
including
primarily
Tampa.
Some
of
the
projects
we've
had
the
wonderful
opportunity
to
work
on
includes
the
Hanna
City
Avenue
project,
Tampa
Convention,
Center,
JW
Marriott.
Y
Your
excuse
me
University
of
Tampa
Tampa,
General
Hospital,
just
to
name
a
few,
but
what
makes
GMS
so
special
is
that
we're
not
just
building
skylines
we're
building
careers,
and
these
two
gentlemen
are
representations
of
that.
One
of
the
most
rewarding
Parts
about
my
job
is
that
I
get
to
oversee
Talent
acquisition
and
I
get
to
recruit
for
our
apprenticeship
program.
Our
apprenticeship
program
is
nccer,
recognized,
see,
NCC
nccce
are
accredited,
it's
recognized
by
the
Florida
state
of
Florida
Department
of
Education.
Y
These
two
gentlemen
are
apprentices
at
gmf
and
the
our
program
is
three
years
long.
It
includes
full
training.
Our
our
apprentices
are
full-time
employees.
They
receive
full
benefits,
PTO
perks
and
all
that.
But
why
I'm
here
today
is
to
for
them
to
share
the
impact
that
our
apprenticeship
program
has
had
on
their
lives,
and
several
weeks
ago
we
had
the
wonderful
opportunity
to
host
a
career
fair
at
gmf,
where
we
had
vendors
from
all
over
the
nation,
but
primarily
students
from
the
Tampa
Bay
Region.
Y
Some
of
the
schools
represented
are
represented,
included,
Ridge,
technical
Roosevelt,
Fort,
Meade
and
Kathleen
and
Bartow.
So
these
students
got
to
come
to
gmf
to
meet
with
these
vendors,
have
hands-on
experience
and
see
what
it
looks
like
to
have
a
career
in
construction,
because
it's
our
job
to
teach
them
structural,
steel,
iron
working,
it's
their
job
to
show
up
with
100
effort,
because
what
we
look
for
in
our
apprentices
is
not
how
many
years
of
experience
they
have
on
their
resume.
It's
who
they
are
as
a
person.
Y
They
come
straight
out
of
school,
most
of
them.
So
we
look
for
things
like
competitiveness
and
energy
and
work
ethic
and
attitude
and
humility.
Those
are
the
things
that
we
look
for,
because
it's
not
just
our
job
to
grow
them
as
a
professional.
It's
our
job
to
grow
them
as
a
person
and
make
a
positive
impact
on
their
life
and
I'm
really
excited
for
Tommy
and
Trey
to
share
how
the
apprenticeship
program
has
impacted
their
life.
Z
Hello,
I'm,
Tommy,
Ashwood
and
I'm,
an
apprentice
for
the
gmf
program.
I
started
out
like
going
to
job
to
job.
I
was
looking
for
a
career
and
I
landed
on
gmf,
the
apprenticeship
group
and
ever
since
then,
I
I've
been
growing
mentally
physically
I've
been
meeting
some
of
the
smartest
people
cool
classmates
every
day,
just
learning
growing,
working
in
Tampa,
Convention
Center
to
Hanna
City
app,
and
it's
been
a
really
good
impact
on
my
life.
E
Good
morning
my
name
is
Trey
Wellington
I'm,
an
apprenticeship
for
gmf
still
group.
They
gave
me
the
opportunity
to
join
their
company
and
apprenticeship
program
from
HCC
they.
Let
me
continue
my
career
and
letting
me
grow
and
grow.
I
got
opportunities
to
learn
in
class
and
on
the
job.
The
meeting,
new
people,
different
environments
and
I'm
just
really
excited
to
see
where
I
keep
growing
and
where
gmf
grows.
E
Y
I
just
wanted
to
provide
Real
World
experience
to
you
to
show
that
these
programs
work
our
program
works
and
we're
excited
to
look
at
this
year.
Doubling
our
numbers.
We
are
growing
exponentially
and
it's
really
exciting
to
get
students
who
didn't
really
know
what
they
wanted
to
do
after
school.
Didn't
think
college
was
a
right
fit
for
them,
but
they
wanted
to
work
with
their
hands
like
the
idea
of
building
things
and
being
in
construction,
and
we
get
to
provide
that
they
get
to
be
in
the
classroom.
Y
They
get
to
be
in
the
field
and
it's
much
different
than
any
any
other
program
that
they
could
be
a
part
of,
and
so
I'm
thankful
that
we
had
the
opportunity
today
to
share
with
you
the
positive
impact
that
we
get
to
have
and
put
our
putting
our
fingerprints
all
over
Tampa
on
some
of
these
amazing
projects
and
really
leave
a
legacy
and
an
impact
on
the
Tampa
Bay
Region.
Thank
you.
Councilman.
N
Well,
thank
you
for
being
here
all
three
of
you.
You
know
apprenticeship,
programs
are
so
important
and
I'm
so
supportive
because
for
the
path
to
strong
middle
class
or
Patsy,
American,
dream
and
I
would
say
that
to
anybody,
that's
young!
That
is
looking
for
what
to
do
with
their
future
in
a
career
path.
So
I'm
glad
that
you
know
you're
you're,
you're
on
the
path
to
the
American
dream,
you're
getting
paid
and
you're
earning
benefits,
while
you're
working
and
learning,
and
no
one
can
take
that
skill
away
from
you.
B
Excuse
me:
I,
have
a
I
have
a
question
for
you
all,
please
and
the
shark.
If
you
could,
please
take
your
information
and
give
it
to
all
of
us
all
the
councilman.
Please
come
back
up
to
the
podium,
your
apprenticeship
program
and
I
know.
There's
some
people
behind
you
that
are
asked
going
to
ask
this
question
today.
AA
Good
morning
my
name
is
Ashanti
Tucker
I
work
for
DPR
Construction
on
the
Hannah
on
the
Hannah
project.
I'm
an
apprenticeship
program
before
I
came
I
knew
nothing
about
construction.
I
had
little
knowledge.
Now
that
I
got
in
the
program.
I
know
everything.
I
know
more
I'm,
getting
to
know
more
building
pouring
concrete,
seeing
how
everything
gets
laid
out.
They
teaching
me
how
to
drive
the
vehicles
go
to
class
Monday,
Wednesdays
and
I'm.
Just
want
to
stay.
Try
to
grow,
get
more
knowledge,
build
it's
a
good
company.
They
take
care
of
you,
no
problems.
N
N
Do
you
live
here
in
the
city
of
Tampa
in
the
community?
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
because
what
hurts.
O
O
I
You
know
every
time
I
see
young
people
that
don't
know
their
way,
some
that
are
coming
out
of
the
prison
system
and
have
monitors
they're
sitting
at
home
and
then
that's
how
they
get
in
trouble.
They
get
bored
still
so
I
always
try
to
send
them
over
to
some
of
the
programs
that
are
in
each
chapter
and
the
CDC
has
some
electrical
programs
welding.
You
know
I
know
we
harp
on
the
state
certification
and
that's
great.
I
We
got
to
have
that,
but
I
want
people
to
who
are
not
having
an
opportunity
to
get
them
in
the
door,
get
them
into
some
seats
and
start
to
get
them
certified,
while
they're
working
making
money.
So
for
me,
it's
not
all
about
the
state.
It's
about
me.
Getting
people
off
the
street
I
got
to
get
them
in
the
doors
to
get
them
certified
to
be
a
state
person
and
I
know
that
in
communities
I
see
signs
that
will
hire
and
I
said
this
to
the
program
Hannah.
I
B
B
Every
program
that
is
taking
the
initiative
to
backfill
all
these
crafts
people
that
we're
so
needy,
especially
here
in
Tampa
Bay
thank.
A
P
I
understand
that
you
can't
see
me,
you
can't
have
original
Vision
all
the
time,
but
thank
you
again
for
what
you
do.
You
know
no
matter
if
you're
concrete
commander
of
your
bricklayer,
no
matter
if
you're
electrician,
no
matter,
if
you're
a
plumber,
no
matter
if
you're
a
roofer,
no
matter
what
you
do,
those
are
jobs.
That
necessity
makes
it
go
forward.
P
So
my
advice
to
you
and
all
the
apprenticeship
individuals
learn
your
trade
because
you
always
be
in
need,
no
matter
if
it's
with
this
company
or
another
company
or
on
your
own
there's
individuals
that
make
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
just
in
starting
Windows,
but
they
do
an
excellent
job
and,
like
yourself,
concrete,
is
very,
very
important
when
you
pour
a
driveway
of
a
big
house,
let's
say
it's
30
by
40
or
50.
you're,
looking
at
60
anywhere
from
eight
to
twelve
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
so
there's
money
to
be
made.
P

I
AB
Good
morning
Council
thank
you
for
having
given
me
this
opportunity
to
come
and
speak.
My
name
is
Haley
Franklin
I'm,
an
account
manager
at
prolink,
Staffing
I
was
actually
an
elected
official
in
Carrollton
Kentucky,
so
I
know
how
important
it
is
just
to
get
out
and
meet
your
local
city.
AB
Officials
and
I
know
how
important
it
is
for

sure
on
a
personal

here
to
just
present
on
my
company
I'm
brand
new
with
Pro
Link
Staffing
we're
at
West,
Kennedy,
Boulevard
and
I
know
how
important
the
workforce
is
in
a
city
like
this
of
this
magnitude.
So
we
help
staff
in
it.
Healthcare
business,
finance
and
skilled
trades.
So
I
love
to
see
the
skilled
trades
people

folks
employed
and
we
help
kind
of
Polish
them

and
make
sure
that

the
career
that

some
cards
with
this
sweet
lady
up
here
in
the
front.
So
thank
you
guys
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
B
AC
AC
Unfortunately,
you
become
the
sounding
board
for
a
lot
of
people,
yelling
and
I
hope
you
have
a
drama-free
less
contentious
session.
Today
there
are
a
lot
of
trees
on
Memorial,
Park,
Cemetery
and
I
can
guarantee
you
that
I
will
be
standing
at
this
podium
fighting
for
trees
that
a
developer
wants
to
put
when
a
developer
wants
to
put
up
a
project
on
Memorial
Park
Cemetery.
AC
AC
When
is
this
going
to
stop?
When
is
it
going
to
stop?
When
is
every
piece
of
clear
land
going
to
be
deemed
as
buildable
for
the
City
of
Tampa?
It
makes
zero
sense.
There
are
cities
all
across
America,
looking
for
green
space
and
trying
to
make
green
space
available
for
the
people
that
live
there.
It's
the
reason
people
move
to
certain
places.
Do
you
think
the
park
in
the
middle
of
the
city
of
Tampa
is
our
Green
Space?
AC
Is
that
it
we
just
clear-cut
a
hundred
trees
at
Circle,
C
Ranch?
You
guys
voted
for
it
because
you
rezoned
it
one
is
rezoning
going
to
stop.
There's
a
plan
for
this
city
to
like
figure
out.
You
know
where
we're
going
to
hold
it
back
and
where
we're
going
to
build
it
up.
What's
going
to
get
high,
what's
going
to
stay
low,
you
can't
drive
down
MacDill
anymore
and
see
the
sun.
AC
Sometimes
Sunrise
comes
about
10
o'clock
for
some
of
the
people
in
South
Tampa,
because
some
of
the
condos
that
are
going
up,
we
have
got
to
slow
down
guys.
You
are
us,
you
are
us,
you
are
the
people
who
are
the
voice
of
the
people
in
each
one
of
your
constituents
and
if
you
truly
sat
down
with
your
constituents,
which
I
have
no
doubt
you
do,
you
would
find
out
that
they
are
not
for
the
builders
to
come
in
and
build.
They
want
Green
Space.
AC
AC
Those
are
750
800,
000,
Condominiums
you're,
not
you're,
not
crazy,
I
I
know
each
one
of
you
you're,
each
incredibly
intelligent
people
and
I
respect
each
one
of
you.
We
have
got
to
figure
out
a
way
we
are
going
to
need
micro,
Parks.
We
need
to
stop
rezoning.
We
have
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
money
available
for
green
spaces.
That's
on
you!
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Shelby.
Q
Hello,
my
name
is
Simon
Rowe
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
agenda
items.
Six
and
seven
I'll
start
by
speaking
on
seven
about
the
Rapport
on
bicyclists
I
know
we
talk
about.
You
know
what
is
now
called
biking
all
black
here
in
Tampa,
because
that
is
what
has
led
to
the
crb's
creation,
but
there
is
still
racial
disparity
in
pulling
over
people
on
bicycles
here
in
this
city,
and
this
is
a
major
large-scale
problem
for
residents
in
Tampa.
Q
This
you
know
racial
disparity
in
pulling
people
over
is
a
civil
rights
violation,
not
on
an
individual
level,
but
could
potentially
affect
hundreds
of
people
year
after
year
and
I
even
remember.
In
a
crb
meeting
last
year,
former
Chief
O'connor,
saying,
like
the
program
had
ended,
but
at
that
time
about
60
percent
of
the
people
pulled
over
on
bicycles.
At
that
point,
in
the
year
were
black.
That
is
still
a
large
racial
disparity
for
a
city,
that's
25
black,
and
that
should
not
be
acceptable.
Q
Q
While
black
and
that
needs
to
be
addressed
and
to
move
on
to
agenda
item
six
I
am
interested
in
learning
more
about
what
is
going
on
with
this
case,
but
I
hope,
I,
myself,
I
hope,
like
many
of
you,
will
be
taking
what
the
Tampa
Police
Department
reports
with
a
grain
of
salt
thinking
back
to
Jonas
Joseph
in
2020,
the
initial
tpd
reports
on
the
killing
of
Jonas
Joseph
were
inaccurate,
saying
that
he
fired
back
at
the
police,
even
though
that
isn't
clear.
They
say
he
was
shot
62
times.
Q
Q
Looking
at
The,
Tyree
Medical's
case
up
in
Memphis.
We
can't
just
bury
things
like
this
and
the
fact
that
police
departments
are
able
to
portray
dead
people
as
felons
as
criminals
is
racist.
We
should
treat
these
dead
peoples
with
respect
and
Humanity,
but
it
is
because
of
the
racism
of
the
police
departments
that
these
dead
people
are
treated
as
criminals,
and
we
should
challenge
these
narratives
if
we
want
Justice
for
those
individuals
and
for
the
black
community
here
in
Tampa,
because
they
deserve
better
than
to
be
treated
as
criminals
and
deserving
of
death.
AD
I
have
at
least
12
members
in
Memorial
family
members
that
are
buried
in
that
Cemetery.
My
grandfather
was
in
World
War
II
he's
buried
that
with
a
plot.
My
brother
is
also
a
veteran.
My
mother
is
buried
there
and
when
I
read
this
article
I
was
Disturbed
and
I
said
how
dare
our
city,
council
or
the
city
of
Tampa
allow
flipper
to
come
in
and
by
the
cemetery.
He
let
you
know
he
has
no
respect
for
the
dead,
certainly
no
respect
for
our
city,
but
we
allowed
this
to
happen
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
it.
AD
AD
We
have
a
lot
of
people
in
East,
Tampa,
that's
interested
and
want
the
community
to
be
the
best
it
can
be.
Although
we've
been
characterized
as
being
angry
mad
confused,
we
don't
know
what
we
want.
Yes,
we
do.
We
know
what
we
need,
but
the
citizens
know
what
they
won't
think
we
need
as
a
community.
We
should
have
been
engaged
in
that
process
when
you
all
knew
it
was
in
foreclosure,
like
Woodland
Cemetery
had
the
opportunity,
their
Community
to
get
engaged.
We
didn't
have
the
opportunity.
AD
We
talked
about
it
at
the
cr8
meeting
about
buying
another
Roth
iron
fence
and
all
of
that
thing.
But
if
this
was
going
on
I'm
concerned,
because
the
community
was
never
tone,
it's
a
like
of
communication
and
we
want
to
solve
problems.
But
how
can
we,
when
we're
not
engaged
in
the
process?
The
community
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
East
Tampa
that
want
to
work
with
the
city
of
Tampa
to
make
our
community
the
best.
It
can
be.
AD
I
know
there's
a
few
people
that
come
down
here
that
are
disgruntled,
but
please
do
not
stigmatize
us
with
that,
because
we're
not
all
that
way.
I
live
in
East
Tampa,
I
own
a
home
in
East,
Tampa
and
I.
Have
no
intention
of
moving
and
I
want
my
community
to
be
the
best
it
can
be.
It
is
changing.
We
all
know
that,
but
let's
be
fair
and
treaties
Tampa
like
you're,
treating
all
the
other
neighborhoods
keep
us
abreast
of.
What's
going
on,
let
us
get
engaged
in
the
process.
AD
AD
N
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here.
I
I
understand
how
important
this
is.
The
I
don't
know
what
the
number
is.
I
heard.
Twenty
thousand
I
heard
fifty
two
hundred
there's
a
lot
of
important
people,
your
family
members,
a
lot
of
people
in
this
community
that
are
buried
there.
I,
don't
know
who
the
winning
bidder
is.
N
The
city
was
outbid
because
it
was
they
put
a
number
in
somebody
outbid
it
and
we
don't
know
what
it
is
until
the
final
outcome,
but
and
I'm
trying
to
be
very
careful
because
I
know
there
was
litigation
involved.
There
was
a
lot
of
be
careful
what
you
say,
but
we
have
to
make
this
right.
You
know
I,
don't
know
who
the
winning
bidder
is
house
flipper.
You
know
blank
I,
don't
know
who
the
person
is,
but
this
is
a
historic
Cemetery
with
thousands
of
important
individuals.
N
We
have
to
make
it
right,
I
mean
what
benefit
is
it
to
you
know.
I
know
a
gentleman
came
up
earlier,
you
know,
does
every
piece
of
land
have
to
be
developed?
You
know
it's
greed,
it's
money
and
I'm,
not
calling
out
anybody
or
say
anything
negative,
but
there
is
no
way
that
we
can
allow
this
to
be
anything
but
a
cemetery,
and
it
has
to
be
protected.
N
N
B
B
K
I
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
this
city
council,
for
a
couple
years
has
has
demanded
that
that
Cemetery
be
protected
and
we
don't.
We
have
also
said
that
we
don't
want
another
Zion
to
happen
again.
K
The
first
I
knew
about
this
was
when
I
read
in
the
newspaper.
Also,
nobody
told
me
nobody.
Nobody
in
this
Council
was
involved
in
the
process
to
my
knowledge
and
I.
Think
recently
we
passed
a
special
zoning
code
or
something
to
protect
cemeteries.
K
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
it
says
in
this
case,
but
in
this,
but
somehow
the
administration
went
through
a
process
that
ended
with
this
result,
and
part
of
City
council's
purpose
is
to
provide
oversight
for
mistakes
that
an
Administration
makes
so
I'm
going
to
be
looking
into
this,
among
other
things,
and
and
to
try
to
make
sure
this
doesn't
happen
again.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
Good
morning,
Council
Nicole
Travis,
administrative
development
and
Economic
Opportunity
and
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
and
I
hope
that
the
developer
or
the
Now
new
property
owner
is
listening
to
the
comments
and
the
desires
of
the
community
to
protect
this
African-American
Cemetery.
We
hold
it
in
high
regard.
This
was
a
lien,
a
code
enforcement
action
process
that
happened
that
goes
into
a
blind
bid.
I
would
advise
you
to
please
limit
the
comments
on
this.
We
are
in
discussions
and
I'm
asking
you
please
to
respectfully
limit
your
conversations
on
this
right
now.
Please.
AE
I
was
going
to
say,
I've
been
working
on
this
for
a
while,
and
that's
why
I
haven't
just
for
the
record
for
the
public.
That's
why
I
haven't
number
number
public
comment,
but
also
I,
haven't
said
anything
because
of
that
that
issue
I've
been
working
on
this
for
a
very
long
time.
I
feel
very,
very
passionate
about
it,
but
I'm
just
going
to
refrain
from
making
remarks
because
of
any
legal
issues,
but
trust
me
ma'am,
all
I'm
going
to
tell
you
is
I
got
your
back
and
we
all
have
your
back.
AE
I
I
just
wanted
Miss
Travis
to
come
up
because
I
wanted
to
kind
of
limit.
The
conversation
to
your
their
staff
is
they've
got
the
message
already
loud
and
clear,
so
we
just
need
to
hold
back
and
let
them
do
what
they
need
to
do
now.
I've
had
my
conversations
with
them
and
they're
going
to
do
what
they
need
to
do.
O
Thank
you.
We
absolutely
when
we
can
I
understand
this
as
an
illegal
position
right
now,
but
when
we
can
we're
gonna
have
to
talk
about
this
and
how
we
got
here.
AD
May
I
just
say
one
thing
before
I
walk
away:
this
is
Black
History,
Month
and
I.
Don't
want
to
think
that
the
city
of
Tampa
is
erasing
black
history,
but
I
attended
doverville
Elementary
in
High
Park
on
Dakota,
Street
and
I
go
over
there
from
time
to
time
to
see
the
little
placard
on
the
road,
because
it's
forgotten
so
I
was
compelled
to
come
here
this
morning
to
talk
about
the
cemetery,
because
I
lived
some
black
history
being
erased
in
the
city
of
Tampa.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
G
Something
you'd
like
to
add
no
I'm
going
to
let
my
colleague
here
administrator,
win,
who
talked
to
you.
Thank
you.
AF
In
addition
to
that,
Memorial
Cemetery
was
one
of
those
cemeteries
that,
if
you
recall
the
previous
owner
was
I,
think
the
previous
Zone
I
don't
know
his
name
but
died.
And
then
the
property
went
into
the
hands
of
family
members
and
it
was
in
disrepair
what
we
have
committed
to
do,
even
though
the
city
did
not
own.
That
cemetery
is
that
we
continued
or
we
over.
We
took
the
over
the
maintenance
and
continued
with
the
maintenance
of
that
Cemetery,
so
I
just
wanted
to.
AF
Let
you
know
that
we
are
committed
to
making
sure
that
the
what
is
done
right
by
the
the
people
who
are
interred
there
was
done
right
by
the
community
and
doing
the
right
thing,
because
it
is
the
right
thing
to
do
so.
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
you
to
let
you
know
that,
even
though
we
did
not
own
the
cemetery,
we
did
expand
our
internal
resources
to
make
sure
that
the
maintenance
was
done
on
on
the
property.
AF
AG
Good
morning,
Council
Steve,
mcelaney
I'm
here
on
item
number
16
and
I
am
the
co-chair
of
the
Tampa
Bay
Builders
Association
governmental,
Affairs
committee
and
first
let
me
indicate
that
we're
not
here
talking
about
the
city
staff
and
anything
that
the
city,
staff
or
Administration
has
done
improperly
we're
here,
because
the
Acela
program
has
caused
a
great
deal
of
concern
among
everyone
who
uses
that
it
is
the
lifeblood
of
the
city
system
and
we've
been
talking
with
City
staff
and
we've
also
met
with
the
Acela
representative
regarding
these
issues.
AG
Acella
was
the
best
system
that
was
available
at
the
time
and
it
probably
Still
Remains
the
best
system
available
within
our
our
region.
The
problem
is,
it
hasn't
kept
up
with
the
times
the
Builders
Association
was
an
early
Advocate
and
Tampa
was
probably
the
beta
of
all
of
the
Acela
systems
throughout
the
region.
AG

I,
don't
I,
don't
think
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
have
access
to
Cella
regarding
permitting
licensing
or
filing
for
an
application
of
any
kind,
but
if
you
put
in
one
name
and
one
address-
and
you
get
20
addresses
that
come
up
and
they're
they're
co-mingled
with
things
that
have
nothing
to
do
with
your
project,
it's
confusing
when
inspectors
can't
put
in
inspections
that
are
necessary
to
complete
projects,
and
they
have
to
do
it
manually.
That's
a
problem.
AG
B
AG
The
issue
is
we're
spending
a
lot
of
money.
It's
paid
for
by
the
users
and
a
seller
needs
to
commit
the
resources
to
fix
it.
I'll
be
here
when
the
staff
makes
their
presentation
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
However,
the
system
is
patched,
it's
not
fixed
and
we
need
that
their
commitment
to
get
that
repaired
as
soon
as
possible
as
it
goes
on,
even
even
residents
can't
properly
access
the
system
to
understand.
What's
going
on.
Thank
you.
Thank.

AH
Hi
good
morning,
Council
Jim
janeco,
with
the
international
Union
of
operating
engineers,
I'm
also
the
treasurer
of
the
Florida
Gulf
Coast
Building
and
construction
trades
Council,
the
construction
unions
representing
all
the
different
trades
and
crafts
resident
of
the
city
of
Tampa
as
well
33629.
You
heard
from
three
apprentices
today.
Two
of
those
were
worked
for
gmf
and
councilman
Goods
I,
believe
you
directed
them
to
provide
their
contact
information
so
that
you
can
conduct
a
follow-up.
I
noticed
that
they
did
give
their
contact
information
to
the
city.
AH
So
what
can
be
helpful
for
you,
as
you
make
a
true
Apples
to
Apples
comparison,
is
to
recognize
that
those
workers
for
gmf
those
apprentices
for
gmf
perform
the
identical
work
to
apprentices
with
the
Iron
Workers
Local,
397.,
okay,
so
and
I'll
have
the
Ironworkers
Local
397
provide
to
you
their
wage
scale
and
benefit
package,
so
that
you
can
make
a
true
Apples
to
Apples
comparison
between
workers
who
are
performing
the
same
work,
because
it
was
stated
by
the
representative
from
gmf
that
those
workers
receive
full
benefits
that
that
was
a
statement
that
was
made,
but
there's
a
difference
between
benefits
being
offered
and
benefits
being
provided.
AH
So
as
you
conduct
your
follow-up,
it
will
be
important
to
see
if
those
workers,
for
instance,
if
health
insurance
is
a
benefit
that
they
are
offered
and
if
their
health
care
premiums
are
deducted
from
their
paycheck
or
if
there
are
full
benefits
provided
paid
for
by
the
company.
That'll.
Be
one
and
it'll
be
also
important
to
note
if
those
two
gmf
apprentices
earn
the
same
hourly
wage
or
if
they
are
merit-based
and
if
they
are
paid
in
individual
wage
different
than
each
other.
AH
For
performing
the
same
work
that
will
be
important
to
note
you'll
be
able
to
make
a
true
apples,
apples
comparison
between
the
wage
and
benefit
scale
between
those
gmf
workers
and
the
union.
The
Iron
Workers
Local
397
apprentices,
so
that
you
can
see
whose
wages
and
whose
benefit
package
is
better,
but
I
think
we
already
know
the
answer
to
that.
Thanks
very
much.
B
O
Just
wanted
to
protect
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
my
aide
Kelly
sharp
first
sitting
here
and
taking
notes
and
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
really
appreciate
it,
and
so
thank
you.
L
B
L
Proceed
good
morning:
everyone,
my
name,
is
Angel
D'angelo,
born
and
raised
in
Seminole
Heights,
and
we're
talking
a
lot
about
the
raising
of
history
and
that's
incredibly
important
in
this
political
climate
with
what
governor
desantes
is
doing
with
black
history,
with
gay,
queer
and
trans
history
and
any
history
he
doesn't
like
also
known
as
the
truth.
I
grew
up
on
Central
Avenue
in
Seminole,
Heights
and
I
didn't
find
out
until
I
was
an
adult
that
that
used
to
be
a
bustling
black
community,
known
as
describe
before
I-275,
was
created
and
destroyed
that
area.
L
A
L
We
need
to
protect
these
cemeteries
and
we
need
to
do
way
more
than
that.
We
need
to
make
sure
we're
doing
more
than
proclamations
for
black
history
month
or
any
other
heritage
month
and
actually
doing
things
that
impact
lives
in
East
and
West
Tampa
and
throughout
the
city.
On
top
of
that,
the
crb
conversation
is
ridiculous.
L
Why
on
Earth
would
they
be
afraid
of
an
independent
attorney?
The
police
are
always
saying:
if
you
have
nothing
to
hide,
then
you
have
nothing
to
worry
about.
Then.
Why
are
they?
What
do
they
have
to
hide?
What
is
the
police
Union
in
mayor
cast
are
so
afraid
of.
We
know
the
answer.
We
have
seen
article
after
article
after
article
of
corruption,
how
many
more
corrupt
acts
have
to
happen?
How
many
people
have
to
be
killed
or
wrongfully
arrested?
L
You
still
don't
have
Justice
for
Jason
Westcott
Arthur
Greene's
family
had
to
fight
through
hell
to
do
through
the
courts.
When
mayor
Castro
was
the
chief
people
are
being
killed,
Dominique
Mulkey
needed
food,
not
bullets.
This
is
just
it's
ridiculous
and
y'all
cried
in
boohoo
during
the
2020
protest
is
going
to
happen
again.
If
we
keep
doing
the
same
thing
over
and
over
so
an
independent
attorney
is
a
small
small
ass.
It's
not
radical.
It's
not
serious
reform.
L
If
you
can't
do
that
much
then
I
guarantee
you
you're
going
to
have
more
and
more
and
more
problems
in
this
city
with
PPD,
stop
being
afraid
of
tpd,
stop
being
afraid
of
the
mirror.
She
doesn't
care
about
any
of
you.
She
cares
about
her
political
career.
Your
legacy
needs
to
be
about
the
people,
because
this
mayor
she's
going
to
win
this
election.
L
Unfortunately
she's
going
to
be
the
mayor
for
another
four
years
and
then
she's
going
to
go
away
and
probably
go,
maybe
try
to
be
Governor
or
whatever
that
whatever
she
wants
to
do,
don't
be
afraid
of
her,
because
you
need
to
be
afraid
of
us.
The
people
and
also
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
developers
always
get
extra
time
in
their
public
comments,
but
oftentimes
people
in
the
community,
especially
when
it's
issues
that
y'all
don't
like
like
when
it's
about
the
police.
B
C
I'd
be
happy
to
John
Bennett
Chief
of
Staff
good
morning,
Council
good
morning
public.
So,
as
everybody
understands
our
day,
parade
known
as
Pirate
Fest
hop
in
last
Friday
evening
into
Saturday
and
into
Saturday
evening,
I.
Think
it's
worth
recognizing
that
for
a
couple
seconds
that
it's
been
part
of
Campus
history
since
1904,
so
next
year
would
actually
be
the
120th
celebration
of
of
that
event.
C
So
in
that
regard,
you
know
thanking
the
leadership
involved
with
the
crew.
Event
Fest
has
been
supporting
that
event
for
the
city
and
with
the
public-private
partnership
for
30
years.
C
C
You
know,
I
had
I'd
commanded
that
event
for
many
years
in
the
early
2000s
after
9
11.,
and
there's
a
lot
of
simultaneous
things
going
on
getting
the
roads
open
for
the
Emily
events
for
Straz.
All
those
things
are
important,
so
there's
a
lot
of
choreographing
that
goes
on
city-wide
around
this
large
event.
C
And
then
the
balance
of
those
30
agencies
at
the
local
state
and
federal
level
have
been
our
partners
in
Homeland,
Security
and
defense
since
9
11,
and
they
all
come
here
within
the
region
to
support
Public
Safety
on
the
land
and
the
water
for
this
operational
period.
So
I
appreciate
the
request
for
us
to
give
a
a
quick
after
action.
C
You
know
I
I,
the
community
engagement
and
the
the
text
messaging
between
the
the
city
and
the
public
was
made
available,
so
hopefully
we
can
learn
from
feedback
from
the
community
and
the
Departments
and
do
it
better
for
the
120th
celebration
next
year.
Thank
you.
K
To
make
the
last
comment:
Mr
Bennett,
I,
wanna
I,
just
want
to
ask
you
something
separate.
K
Over
the
last
few
months,
we've
had
many
discussions
with
the
water
department
about
the
pure
project
and
to
my
understanding,
the
pure
project,
as
as
stated
by
the
water
department,
is,
is
dead
or
not
moving
forward
a
couple
weeks
ago
we
had
an
item
that
still
had
the
pure
name
on
it,
but
the
department
assured
us
that
pure
is
not
going
forward.
K
But
three
days
ago
the
mayor
had
a
video
created,
a
video
that
talked
about
the
pure
project,
defended
the
pure
project
and
advocated
for
for
the
pure
project
and
I
know
it's
not
necessarily
your
department,
but
could
you
please
just
explain
to
us
and
the
pub
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
confused
calls
from
people
who
thought
pure
was
dead,
that
there
would
be
some
other
kind
of
process
going
forward
that
would
analyze
objectively
the
Alternatives,
but
with
the
mayor's
video,
it's
it's
causing
a
lot
of
confusion
concern
the
community.
Thank
you.
C
I
think
it
would
be
best
handled
by
the
department,
but
based
on
what
I
know,
I
think
what
we
have
discussed
in
the
chambers
and,
of
course
working
with
staff,
is
and
what
has
been
conveyed
from
what
I
have
watched
from
the
Departments
as
pure
as
a
project
is
not
moving
forward.
But
the
elements
that
support
water
reuse
are
continuing
to
be
explored
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
have
a
sustainable
water
supply,
a
sustainable
environment
at
the
best
cost
at
the
highest
quality.
K
B
But,
as
you
stated
most
importantly,
our
brothers
and
sisters
in
solid
waste,
the
work
they
did
in
a
matter
of
five
six
hours,
cleaning
up
all
the
trash
and
debris
along
Bay,
Shore
and
downtown,
and
opening
up
our
roads
to
me
that
that
is.
That
is
a
a
one
of
the
seven
wonders
of
the
world
that
they
can
get
it
done
that
quickly.
So
I
thank
Solid
Waste,
but
I
thank
all
of
Tampa's
family,
all
the
Departments
that
have
worked
to
make
our
parade
the
third
largest
parade
in
the
country.
B
C
And
and
chairman
just
just
because
I
know,
some
of
them
are
here
and
represented
when
I
was
looking
at
some
of
the
the
data
behind
the
work
Parks
and
Rec,
and
the
mobility
team,
as
well
as
Solid
Waste,
probably
carried
these.
This
50
tons
of
of
leftover
Solid
Waste
together.
So
it
really
is
a
combined
team
sport
in
in
parks
and
rec
and
solid
waste
and
Mobility.
The
sweepers
were
out
there
doing
miles
and
miles
of
street
sweeping.
So
it
is
a
great
effort.
So
thank
you
for
recognizing
everyone.
G
Good
morning
again,
Nicole
Travis
administrative
development
and
Economic
Opportunity.
What
I
have
before
you
this
morning
is
the
resolution
supporting
the
First
Amendment
to
a
contracts
of
sale
of
purchase
of
property
from
the
Tampa
Port
The
Authority.
This
was
the
decision
to
purchase.
This
property
was
made
at
the
CRA
as
your
as
a
CRA
entity
as
a
board,
and
then
it
was
codified
as
a
city
council.
What
I'm
asking
for
today
is
an
extension
to
that
contract
for
180
days,
I'm
going
to
put
an
image
up
on
the
L
mode.
G
As
well,
there's
an
adjacent
property
owner
the
person-
that's
purchasing,
the
adjacent
property
is
interested
in
doing
a
small
portion
of
land
swap
with
us.
It
would
allow
the
adjacent
property
owner
to
square
off
their
piece
of
property
for
us
to
square
up.
Our
piece
of
property
in
red
is
a
property
that
we're
the
blue
is
we
haven't
closed
on
the
property
yet,
but
the
blue
is
what's
in
this
contract
sale
and
we're
trying
to
swap
that
for
the
red,
we
would
ultimately
end
up
with
more
square
footage
at
no
additional
cost.
G
This
is
a
low
risk
decision
just
to
extend
the
contract.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
the
CAC
did
vote
for
us
to
close
without
doing
this
land
swap.
But
if
we
were
to
do
that
and
wanted
to
do
the
land
swap
later,
we
would
have
to
go
through
an
RFP
process.
As
you
all
know,
any
disposition
of
property
within
the
CRA
district
is
required
to
go
through
an
off
RFP
process.
G
O
Thank
you,
I
haven't.
Could
you
leave
that.
H
O
Sure
can
you
point
out
the
property
that
is
under
contract.
J
I
believe
that
the
property
under
contract
basically
extends
down
here,
and
so,
but
there
I
think
with
the
trade-off.
Is
we
there's
a
tail
of
the
property
that
goes?
That's
really
unusable
that
goes
up
between
the
buildings
they're
looking
to
get
that
tail,
while
giving
us
property
on
the
side,
potentially
that
which
would
increase
and
square
off
the
piece.
That's
okay.
Thank.
I
I,
don't
I
don't
have
a
problem.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
CAC
is
informed.
I
Of
why
the
the
holdup
is,
and
so
they
understand
the
parameters
of
which
you're
trying
to
obtain
and
and
you
don't
want
to
get
into
a
legal
situation,
so
they
they
know
versus.
Why
is
it
being
done
now
so
they'll
understand
why
you're
doing
what
you're
doing
sure.
B
B
AI
Good
morning,
city
council,
Kelly,
Austin,
Director
of
Human
Resources
and
talent,
development
and
I'm,
a
company
today
by
our
benefits
manager,
Tony,
Hagler
and
I'm,
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
the
memo
that
was
submitted
for
number
four.
That
was
an
RFP
that
was
done
for
our
Wellness
Center,
with
care
ATC
being
the
awarded
participant,
and
we
respectfully
ask
for
your
approval
on
that
contract.
It's
a
three-year
contract
with
two
one-year
renewals.
P
AI
AI
Sure,
thank
you.
That's
a
great
question.
So
we
have
two
wellness
centers.
Presently
we
have
one
on
Himes
Avenue,
which
is
our
larger
of
the
two,
and
we
have
one
currently
in
Brandon.
Those
wellness
centers
are
available
to
All
City
of
Tampa
employees.
They
are
also
used
by
qualified
dependents
and
even
though
the
unions
are
on
the
health
care
trust,
they
also
have
access
to
the
wellness
centers.
There
are
a
multitude
of
drugs
that
are
available
at
no
cost
if
they're
prescribed
through
the
wellness
centers
and
the
visits
are
of
no
charge.
AI
There's
no
co-pay.
If
you
use
the
wellness
centers,
so
we
have
seen
a
return
of
about
two
dollars
and
20
cents
to
every
dollar
spent
as
an
investment
on
these
wellness,
centers
they've
been
in
Inception
since
2011,
and
it
those
people
that
don't
typically
go
to
the
doctor
doctor
tend
to
use
these
wellness
centers
because
of
the
convenience
and
the
no
cost
so.
O
AI
That's
correct:
there
will
be
a
satellite
office
at
the
Hannah
location.
Currently
it's
earmarked
to
have
one
physician
and
two
medical
assistants.
So
it's
not
going
to
be
a
big
large
full-blown,
but
it
will
be
a
you
know:
a
substantial
piece
of
office
space
that
will
be
able
to
be
used
primarily
by
the
employees
that
work
at
that
location,
Cosmic.
K
AI
Think
sure
yeah
absolutely
so
I
was
not
on
the
committee.
My
manager
was
on
the
committee,
along
with
other
members
from
the
city
staff.
There
were
eight
proposers
that
submitted
to
be
considered
for
a
wellness
center
contract
with
the
city
care.
Atc
did
score
the
highest,
and
the
committee
did
recommend
that
we
award
the
contract
to
them
and
I
concur
with
that.
There
were
no
protests,
there
were
no
questions
about
the
RFP
sure
miss.
B
Austin,
thank
you
very
much,
councilwoman
hurtech
for
bringing
up
the
wellness
center
at
the
new
Hannah
Street
project,
we're
going
to
have
five
departments
there
with
over
500
people.
When
this
concept
came
to
us.
That
was
the
first
request:
I
made
devil,
Wellness
Center.
Why
should
we
have
all
those
employees
in
one
place
just
for
them
to
go
to
a
doctor's
visit
or
if
they
have
a
runny
nose
or
something?
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
councilwoman
for
bringing
that
up.
Absolutely
okay.
We
have
a
resolution
right,
I'm,
sorry,
councilman,.
B
D
Y
B
AJ
And
Cindy
good
morning,
Council
we're
going
to
make
chairman
Council
Larry
Washington,
director
of
solid
waste
environment
program
management.
It's
my
full
face.
I
submitted
a
memo
in
regards
to
the
approval
for
a
purchase
of
eight
CNG,
Sidewinder
side,
side,
loader
Vehicles.
So
that's
our
residential
routes
and
the
total
is
3.8
million
dollars
and
then
what
was
submitted
earlier
two
weeks
prior
I
want
to
see.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
the
memo
or
questions
about
the
the
process
or
the
vehicles
themselves,.
P
Miranda,
thank
you
chairman
again.
This
is
something
that's
very
well
needed
for
the
citizens
of
the
city.
You
have
natural
gas,
compression
engines
and
better
for
the
air
quality
we
have,
along
with
the
automatic,
loaders
and
so
forth
and
so
on,
and
that
way
the
people
from
Mr
Simon's
unit
they
want
to
without
them
City
of
Tampa
wouldn't
run.
P
This
is
a
reason
why
we're
buying
these
things
to
make
sure
that
the
public
gets
the
best
service
possible
and,
as
you
see,
the
unit
price
is
almost
half
a
million
dollars
a
unit,
so
it's
very
costly
to
run
every
Department
in
the
city
and
the
garbage
rated
commensurate
with
that,
but
we're
fine.
The
garbage
rate
I
think,
is
about
30
some
dollars
a
month
and
they
pick
it
up
twice
a
week.
So
you
can't
get
a
marker
better
than
that
anywhere.
Thank
you
very
much
for
doing
what
you
do
and
we
appreciate
the
Public's.
P
Sometimes
it
gets
a
little
upset
when
gas
brother
comes
around
or
something
in
an
hour
late.
Picking
up
your
garbage,
but
we
love
you
guys
all
of
you
and
thank
you
for
what
you
do
for
the
community
and
the
community
really
like
what
you
do.
Thank.

AK
Good
morning,
Council
I'm
Ruth
K,
with
the
Tampa
Police
Department
on
the
major
at
District
One
I'm,
here
to
talk
on
agenda
items
six
and
seven,
so
I'll
start
with
six.
First.
AK
This
agenda
item
is
specifically
asked
in
the
Tampa
Police
Department
to
discuss
the
concerns
about
crime
along
Main
Street,
specifically
the
section
from
Armenia
to
Rome.
This
portion
is
part
of
the
West
Tampa
CRA
District.
AK
As
we
all
know,
December
4th
2022
there
was
a
shooting
at
1914,
West,
Main
Street,
a
female
was
at
a
local
business,
and
a
small
group
of
people
were
involved
in
a
dispute
which
resulted
in
a
shooting
this
small
group
of
individuals
that
were
there,
they
were
patronizing
a
business,
a
sidewalk
cafe,
and
they
were
there
just
for
that
to
consume
food
and
drink.
When
this
incident
happened.
AK
This
investigation
is
still
open,
so
I'm
not
able
to
go
further
detail
in
the
investigation,
but
there's
more
forthcoming.
So
I
expect
you
to
hear
more
about
that
in
the
near
future.
Main
Street
is
the
heart
of
West
Tampa,
the
city
and
the
CRA
are
actively
supporting
the
community
and
its
revitalization
and
the
increase
in
businesses.
Restaurants,
event,
venues
and
affordable
housing
in
the
area.
The
Tampa
Police
Department
is
active
in
the
West
Tampa
CRA
advisory
committee.
I've
sat
there
at
meetings
with
several
Council
that
are
here
today.
AK
We
attend
all
of
those
monthly
meetings
and
we
recently
accepted
an
invitation
to
participate
in
the
cras
public
safety
subcommittee.
We
will
be
sitting
on
that
for
the
entire
year
2021,
the
Tampa
Police
Department
only
received
eight
calls
for
service
in
this
specific
area
related
to
shots,
fired
I
went
through
each
of
those
eight
calls
to
explain
what
happened
to
each
of
them
of
a
of
those.
Eight
two
were
actually
fireworks.
Officers
responded
to
four
calls
where
they
were
were
there
reports
of
shots
fired,
but
they
searched
the
area.
AK
They
didn't
find
any
damage
and
they
didn't
find
any
bullet
casings.
There
was
one
call
that
resulted
in
property
damage
to
a
home.
There
were
no
injuries
and
there
was
one
call
on
February
5th
2021,
where
property
damage
was
sustained
to
two
businesses,
and
one
person
was
shot
in
the
leg
fast
forward
to
2022.
We
had
six
calls
for
service,
so
our
calls
were
already
going
down.
Two
calls
were
actually
fireworks
one
where
the
officers
responded.
AK
They
did
not
see
anything
and
there
were
no
casings
found,
and
there
was
one
call
where
a
citizen
heard
gunshots
and
we
got
multiple
calls
from
more
citizens
saying
there
were
gunshots.
The
officers
diligently
searched
the
area
and
they
did
not
find
anything.
There
was
still
one
call
where
a
citizen
observed
someone
actually
discharged
a
firearm.
When
the
officers
arrived,
they
did
not
locate
that
individual
and
then
we
have
the
one
case
that
we
just
talked
about
on
December
4th
that
resulted
in
the
homicide
of
the
young
lady.
AK
Fortunately,
since
December
4th,
we
have
not
received
any
calls
for
service
related
to
shots
fired
along
the
Main
Street
Corridor
we've
had
none
this
year.
The
bottom
line
is
that
one
shooting
is
one
too
many
anytime.
There's
a
reporter
shots
fired
the
officers
respond
in
a
priority
mode.
What
are
we
doing
as
an
agency
to
combat
crime
along
the
Main
Street
area?
AK
The
city
is
committed
to
improving
natural
surveillance
around
the
businesses
and
public
property
to
deter
any
criminal
activity.
Examples
are
the
LED
lighting,
that's
going
along
Main
Street.
This
is
a
project.
That's
been
going
on
for
several
years,
we're
cleaning
up
the
debris
and
the
overgrowth
in
the
Alleyways
along
Main
Street.
We
all
have
a
duty
to
care
for
the
properties
within
the
city
and
we've
partnered
with
the
other
City
entities
such
as
neighborhood
enhancement,
Team,
Code,
Enforcement
and
Mobility.
AK
The
police
department
has
partnered
with
parks
and
recs
also
for
the
parks
and,
as
you
know,
the
CRA
added
surveillance
cameras
to
the
major
intersections
along
Main
Street,
a
tool
that
can
be
used
by
law
enforcement
when
needed.
All
these
measures
have
helped
to
assist
the
Tampa
Police
Department
in
preventing
crime
and
solving
crimes
when
they
occur.
AK
I'm
very
excited
to
report
that
this
week
in
our
new
deployment
starts
and
how
will
that
affect
the
main
street
in
the
West
Tampa
area.
Previously
the
three,
the
three
the
majors
and
the
Chiefs
we
go
together
and
we
do
strategy
and
we
say
what
happened
last
year.
What
can
we
do
better
next
year?
So
this
deployment
a
happy
report
that
district
one
is
getting
an
additional
Squad
to
help
us
in
the
West
Tampa
area.
Right
now
we
have
a
planes
closed,
Squad
that
primarily
Works
Tuesday
through
Friday.
AK
They
can't
adjust
hours
when
needed,
but
we're
going
to
have
two
plain
clothes
squads
that
work
the
day
shift.
That
will
be
there
seven
days
a
week
and
they
will
be
targeting
this
area.
You
may
not
always
see
the
officers,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
they're
not
there,
because
some
of
them
are
playing
close
officers,
they're
going
to
see
the
crime
before
that
happens,
that's
what
we
want
them
to
do.
We
want
them
to
sit
back.
AK
We
want
them
to
do
surveillance
themselves,
in
addition
to
the
tools
that
I
just
talked
about
and
help
solve
the
crime
in
the
area,
but
we
always
encourage
citizens.
Anybody
to
report
criminal
Behavior.
We
have
a
bunch
of
new
ways
that
are
reaching
out
to
this
younger
generation.
We
have
tip
for
one
tip
4-1-1,
where
people
can
actually
text
the
crime
to
us,
because
we
know
some
people
don't
want
to
call
us
on
the
phone
and
they
want
to
rename
remain
anonymous.
So
we
just
encourage
anybody
seeing
anything
in
the
West
Tampa
area.
AK
N
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
in-depth
report.
I
know
that,
on
that
specific
case,
we
can't
discuss
it
because
it's
open
and
active.
However,
I
am
meeting
with
the
community
this
week.
It's
a
one
o'clock
meeting,
I,
don't
know
if
tpd
will
be
there.
They
just
contacted
me
directly.
N
You
know
you
said
it.
One
shooting
is
one
too
many,
and
so
many
people
are
working
together
from
all
walks
of
life
to
revitalize
that
area.
That
used
to
be
you
know:
Historic,
downtown,
West,
Tampa,
a
vibrant
commercial
Corridor
and
we're
we're
making
progress
now
seen
as
part
freedom
of
speech
Park
little
by
little.
However,.
N
I'm
happy
that
you,
you
mentioned
that
a
new
Squad
will
be
assigned
to
cover
that
area.
People
have
asked
me
time
and
time
again
we
never
see
a
police
car.
We
never
see
a
police
car,
but
you
stated
that
you
have
plain
clothes
officers
that
are
working
there,
that
they
may
not
see.
The
uniform
doesn't
mean
that
police
doesn't
have
a
presence,
I
mean
there's
just
I
I,
never
understood
the
the
gun,
violence
in
the
shootings.
Why
people
resort?
To
that
I
mean
this.
Isn't
prohibition,
this
isn't
the
wild
west?
N
Is
it
shooting
people
in
the
streets
why
people
automatically
go
to
the
gun?
You
know
I
mean
what
do
they
prove
with
that
they
destroyed
their
life
in
somebody
else's
life,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
it's
hurting
the
community
as
a
whole.
There
are
a
lot
of
business
owners
in
that
area,
some
longer
than
others
that
have
invested
a
lot
of
money,
not
for
profitability,
but
because
they
believe
in
that
neighborhood
they
could
go
anywhere
else.
N
I
know
a
lot
of
them,
they're
very
wealthy
and
they
could
take
their
business
elsewhere,
but
they
believe
in
West
Tampa.
However,
without
Partnerships
like
we're
talking
about
with
TBT
and
the
changes
that
you're
making
and
improving
that
area,
you
know
we're
always
going
to
be
in
the
same
position.
What
happened
with
the
recent
murder
was
horrible.
You
know
from
what
I've
seen
in
the
news
and
what
against
an
open
case,
we
can't
discuss
it.
N
Nobody
deserves
that
lives
are
ruined
for
whatever
the
reason
was,
but
talking
to
business
owners,
especially
on
Main,
Street
I,
know
one
shut
down
their
their
the
public
part
of
their
business,
their
tasting
room
or
their
their
retail
side
because
of
shootings
a
neighboring
business.
How
many
times
has
he
contacted
me
with
photos
of
bullet
holes
in
the
windows?
And
this
is
over
several
years,
but
these
individuals
are
frustrated
again.
N
They
can
pack
up
and
leave
and
go
somewhere
else,
these
business
owners,
but
they
don't
because
they
believe
in
West
Tampa
and
we
have
to
work
better
together
and
I
know:
you're
you're,
you're,
working,
hard,
I,
know
you're
there
and
and
I
appreciate
this
report,
but
I
hope
that
we
can
put
an
end
to
this.
You
know
these
unnecessary
shootings
just
finally
we're
not
going
to
attract
more
people
coming
there.
N
It's
so
busy
people
come
off
the
interstate,
that's
the
first
thing
they
see
is
Main
Street
and
Howard,
and
then
you
go
Main
Street
in
Albany,
and
you
see
all
the
growth
Armature
Works.
On
the
other
side,
you
see
Julian
Lane
Park,
you
see
all
the
new
housing
down
Main
street
closure
to
Boulevard,
but
it's
got
to
keep
trickling
down
this
way.
You
know
a
rising
tide
lifts
all
boats,
but
we
have
to
be
Equitable,
so
we
we
get
rid
of
this
nonsense
and
this
this
violence.
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilman.
B
I
I
The
other
part
through
the
to
the
West
you
know,
went
to
the
east.
We
have
to
fix
the
places
up
and
those
folks
won't
come
having
the
police.
There
is
good.
We
didn't
know
about
the
camera
system,
not
working
which
I
don't
know
why
we
didn't
know
about
that,
because
the
CRA
purchased
them.
So
we
should
have
known
that
those
cameras
were
down
if
there's
an
internet
process.
That's
that's
wrong.
The
CRA
has
money
to
fix
those
things
so
that
to
me
it
was
no
excuse
for
it
not
to
be
working.
I
AK
The
cameras
are
currently
working.
There
is
one
camera
that
needs
to
be
replaced
well
or
at
least
fixed.
It
was
damaged
there
was,
it
was
mounted
on
a
electrical
pole
that
was
removed
and
a
new
pole
was
put
into
place
and
the
vendor
actually
took
the
camera
with
them.
AK
Unbeknownst
to
us,
and
now
the
camera
is
back,
but
unfortunately
we
all
know
that,
since
covid
electrical
parts
are
very
hard
to
get
a
hold
of,
so
we're
waiting
for
the
parts
to
fix
that
camera,
but
other
than
that
all
of
the
cameras
along
the
Main
Street
Corridor
are
working.
That
doesn't
mean
that
occasionally
there
might
be
a
hiccup
because
most
of
them
do
run
on
cellular
service.
And
if
you
know
yourself
you,
you
won't
get
all
four
bars
on
your
cell
phone.
AK
I
I
think
now
that
we
have
programs
that
are
coming
I
always
talk
about
the
implementation
now
so
I
think
now,
with
Miss
Travis
and
her
team
who
will
start
implementing
some
of
these
processes,
especially
when
you
talk
about
getting
those
properties
bought.
I
Looking
at
real
development
in
those
communities,
we
can
eradicate
a
lot
of
those
issues
that
are
occurring:
those
bad
people,
they're,
gonna,
they're,
gonna,
move
away,
they're
not
going
to
stay
where
things
are
nice
and
popular
because
they
know
that's.
Those
owners
are
going
to
speak
up
they're
going
to
talk
out
they're
going
to
be
pounding.
The
payments
say
this
is
our
business
here.
We're
not
going
to
tolerate
this,
so
I
think
once
we
are
able
to
get
some
more
get
those
dollars
spent
in
the
West
Tampa
on
that
Corridor
I.
I
Believe
we'll
we'll
solve
a
lot
of
problems.
Sometimes
you
have
things
that
just
happen.
Things
do
happen,
it's
reality
and
you
can't
control
Crimes
of
Passion.
You
can't
control
things.
Attackers.
The
police
could
be
there
and
go
down
the
street
to
another
call
right,
quick
and
somebody.
Someone
asks
a
fool.
Things
do
happen,
so
we
have
to
be
mindful
of
that,
but
I'm
glad
that
we're
having
these
conversations
I'm
glad
now
we're
going
to
make
a
few
changes
to
make
things
better
and
I.
I
Think
with
the
police
department
working
with
the
Public
Safety
Committee
with
the
CRA
and
Miss
Travis,
and
her
team
I
think
we'll
try
to
kind
of
move
the
needle
a
little
bit.
But
thank
you
for
your
work.
AE
Chair
and
and
thank
you,
madam
for
this
report,
and
for
all
the
hard
work
that
you
do
you
know
I
wanted
to
bring
up
two
things.
First,
what
we
were
talking
about
earlier
with
the
the
apprenticeships,
which
is
when
I
look
at
crime
and
communities,
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
to
fight
crime.
AE
One
of
them
is
to
give
people
hope
and
equip
people
with
the
skills
that
they
need
in
life
to
show
them
that
there's
a
better
life
than
some
of
the
bad
things
you
find
on
the
streets
like
I,
always
say
with
this
apprenticeship
program.
AE
For
example,
you
take
a
young
person
graduating
from
maybe
King,
maybe
Jefferson
Middleton,
where
one
of
our
high
schools,
whatever
High
School
it
may
be,
and
you
show
them
that
there
is
a
real
future
out
there
and
you
give
people
hope
you're
going
to
be
dealing
with
things
like
preventing
crime,
and
that's
very
important.
There's
also
another
issue
to
this.
That
councilmaniscalco
had
brought
up
as
well,
which
is
the
businesses
and
the
effect
that
crime
has
on
a
city's
livability
and
and
and
how
a
number
of
cities
I
don't
believe.
AE
Tampa
did
this
and
and
when
and
by
the
way,
when
I
say
this
I'm
not
talking
about
anyone
on
Tampa,
City,
Council
I,
know
we're
in
election
season.
This
is
of
anything
of
that
nature,
but
a
lot
of
cities.
Well
I'll,
say
this.
I
went
with
my
son
about
six
months
ago
we
went
to
Portland
Portland
Oregon
in
a
beautiful
state.
Oregon
is
such
a
beautiful
amazing,
State,
God's
country,
and
so
many
parts
out
there.
AE
But
you
take
a
look
at
what's
happened
in
Portland
recently
when
I
was
there
in
September
or
October,
they
had
had
about
800
shootings
at
that
time.
In
2022,
Portland
would
go
on
to
have
well
over
a
thousand
I
think
about
1200
shootings
about
100
homicides
within
Portland,
because
that's
one
city
where
they
attacked
their
police
and
they
disowned
their
police
and
guess
what
happens
and
I
know.
AE
Obviously
you
do
this
I'm,
not
I'm
preaching
to
the
choir
here,
I
know
and
and
when
you
do,
that
you
attack
businesses,
you
attack
livability,
you
attack
families,
because
people
in
all
of
our
major
American
cities
want
us
to
support
law
enforcement
and
support
our
police
and
to
give
our
police
the
tools
and
the
equipment
they
need
to
succeed.
That's
something
that
I
think
is
such
an
important
lesson
that
we've
seen
from
many
cities,
Minneapolis
Portland
et
cetera,
Etc.
We
were
by
the
way
in
Oregon
to
visit
the
last
Blockbuster
on
Earth.
AE
You
can't
make
that
up
and
we
had
a
great
time
and
it's
a
beautiful,
beautiful
state,
but
we
actually
stayed
in
Portland
and
whatnot.
So
again,
when
you
take
a
look
at
this
issue
of
crime
and
the
reaction
that
of
some
cities
had
Tampa
I
submit
did
not,
and
no
one
than
this
Council
I'm
saying
by
inference
or
directly
did
because
it's
election
time,
you
know
that
reaction
to
police
undermines
Public
Safety
and
undermines
families.
AE
It
undermines
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
communities
who
have
to
live
in
that
and
it
undermines
the
business
and
the
quality
of
life
and
thank
God.
We
haven't
got
gone
to
that
extreme
in
Tampa
and
we
never
ever
should
and
I
think
that
that
all
parts
of
our
city,
whether
East
Tampa
North,
Tampa,
West,
Tampa,
South,
Tampa,
support
that
idea
and
and
I
know
our
city
council
does
and
our
mayor
does
etc,
and
we
should
continue
to
fight
to
affirm
that
idea.
Thank
you,
ma'am.
Thank
you.
Mr,
chair
councilman,.
P
You
see
the
cops
you
run
away.
I
think
everything
is
fine,
but
when
they're
Undercover
you
have
no
spotters
that
can
spot
them.
They
can't
call
in
years
back.
There
was
no
cell
phones.
Now
you
can
communicate
with
yourself,
like
you
had
your
own
entity,
your
own,
your
way
of
doing
business
illegally.
P
When
you
look
at
that
area,
you're
talking
about
it's
really
turned
the
corner.
Without,
for
the
better
I
mean
when
you
look
at
the
businesses
right
across
the
street
on
Howard
and
Main
on
the
northwest
corner,
there's
a
new
building
really
that
the
individual
redone
spent
I,
don't
know
how
many
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars,
because
there's
two
businesses
there
now
and
when
you
look
at
the
southeast
corner
of
Howard
and
Main,
the
old
Bank
building.
P
If
you
want
to
have
a
good
taco,
go
there
because
they're
made
in
front
of
you
and
that
they're
very
delicious
I've
been
there
and
if
you
go
just
north
on
on
Howard
about
a
block
block
and
a
half
on
the
right
hand,
side.
There's
a
new
Cuban
I
said
Cuban
Foods
I
almost
say
exactly
what
the
sign
says
and
it
even
tells
you,
the
price
I
haven't
been
in
it
yet,
but
I'm
going
to
try
it.
P
So
the
business
is
changing,
the
atmosphere
is
changing
and
when
you
see
more
and
more
units
of
individuals
moving
back
in
on
the
east
side
of
Main
Street,
all
the
way
to
North
Boulevard
you're
going
to
see
a
complete
change,
because
people
bring
those
individuals
that
are
not
doing
for
the
right
things
in
life
like
shooting
a
gun
or
something
they'll
go
somewhere
else,
because
it's
spotted
too
easily
their
chances
of
sketching
is
a
hundred
percent
better
than
when
it's
vacant
land
I'm
concerned
a
little
bit
about
the
block,
just
east
of
of
Howard
and
and
Maine.
P
K
A
couple
things
one
thank
you
for
all
your
help
in
South
Tampa
in
particular,
you
and
your
colleagues
always
respond
very
quickly
to
us
and
to
my
to
my
legislative
and
I,
also
I
want
to
just
address
councilmember
vieira's
comments.
Real
fast.
This
city
council
has
supported
I,
think
every
Pro.
It
has
supported
every
proposal.
The
Administration
has
put
forward
to
support
the
police,
even
when
many
of
our
friends
and
colleagues
in
the
community
were
asking
us
to
cut
the
budget
of
the
police.
K
We
need
better
policies
and
better
leadership
to
reduce
these
crime
rates,
and
the
the
people
throughout
the
city
are
not
happy
with
it
and
and
in
particular
in
South,
Tampa
they're,
not
happy
with
it,
and
one
of
the
basic
things
is
there
aren't
enough
police
officers
as
much
as
the
as
major
and
her
staff
work
hard.
They
need
help
there.
K
The
hard-working
men
and
women
the
police
are
stressed
out
compared
to
tomorrow
is
time
we're
down
about
200
police
officers,
and
so
we
need
to
seriously
look
at
that
and
other
policies
to
support
their
efforts
to
reduce
crime.
I
want
to
set
up
number
seven.
If
you
want
to
make
a
final
comment
on
number
six
and
then
I
would
just
like
to
set
at
number
seven
before
she
gets
into
that.
B
C
Just
I
want
to
thank
John
benichie's
staff.
I
want
to
thank
the
major
for
a
report
in
the
comments
and
the
feedback.
They're
always
helpful.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
about
a
decade
ago
and
this
challenges
all
of
us
and
I
I
had
asked
Chief,
burkhaw
interim
Chief
berkata.
To
consider
this
with
the
new
deployment
to
get
more
Community
engagement
involved
is
when
I
was
the
majors
rank.
I
rode
a
bicycle
around
my
neighborhood
almost
every
day
with
the
kids
going
to
school
talk
to
people
at
the
fence
lines.
C
When
we
have
concentrated
transformation
going
on
I'm
hoping
we
can
see
more
bike
officers
out
there
get
get
down
and
engage
with
the
community
and
and
just
going
back
to
Gasparilla.
Almost
every
agency
brought
a
bike
squad
over
here
and
rode
the
backside
of
the
community
to
see
things
and
get
rid
of
the
barriers
and
have
that
engagement
and
I
can
tell
you
when
we
did
that
a
decade
ago,
and
this
deployment
is
going
to
mimic
coming
back
to
those
kind
of
levels
of
community
engagement,
shot.
C
Spotter
was
just
in
its
infancy
stage
and
I
had
no
data
city-wide.
That
would
support
using
shot
spotter.
It
was
not
concentrated
enough
and
so
I
think
we
can
actually
put
these
deployment
schemes
together,
working
with
the
community
support
from
Council
support
on
the
resources
as
the
city
grows,
but
we
have
to
get
that
interface,
stronger
and
I
know
they're
working
really
hard
on
that
deployment,
as
she
mentioned,
the
Strategic
change,
so
I
just
want
to
kind
of
go
back
in
history
and
talk
about
that.
Thank
you.
I
I
talked
about
Community
engagement
last
night
at
the
meeting
at
the
Allen
Temple
heavily
I,
think
that
is
important.
That
officers
are
engaged
with
the
people
knowing
the
people,
but
people
are
talking
about
the
lack
of
police
presence
throughout
the
city.
If
we
are
down
the
city
is
growing
Leaps
and
Bounds
people
are
coming
here
every
day.
That
means
more
people.
It
means
you
need
possibly
more
cops
in
the
street
to
be
able
to
see
and
observe,
and
do
we
need
to
do
so.
I
I
think,
eventually
we're
going
to
need
to
have
a
report
of
actually
how
many
officers
sworn
officers
as
far
as
Street
on
patrol
how
many
you
have
in
your
DLS
units,
how
many
you
have
actually
in
your
your
latent
investigation,
so
people
can
see
the
breakdown
of
what
you
have
and
if
there
is
a
short
foot,
I
hear
command,
say
I
said
we're
down,
maybe
20
officers,
but
here
officers
on
the
streets.
They
were
down
way
more
officers
than
that.
So
we
need
this.
I
Council
needs
to
have
a
factual
data
if
you're
down
so
be
it
you're
down.
If
it's
200
it's
200,
we
need
to
know
that
the
police
know
that
that
way,
if
you
say
when
budget
time
comes,
I
need
money
for
police,
you
don't
have
community
and
citizens
saying
defund
the
police,
you
don't
need
police,
but
I
have
people
in
East
Tampa
who
say
damn
it
we're
tired
of
shootings.
Every
day
we
don't
see
police
presence,
because
if
you
got
a
squad,
that's
working
on
homicide,
work
or
something.
I
No,
you
ain't
got
no
police
because
there's
nobody
there
I
mean
I,
know
how
it
works.
So
if
we
are
down
a
multitude
of
officers,
let's
just
figure
out
what
that
number
is
because
the
city
is
growing.
People
are
coming
here
every
day,
so
I
think
it's
going
to
come
a
time
that
we
need
to
get
a
report
from
you
and
the
chief
of
actually
what's
the
real
number.
If
the
number
is
100,
so
be
it
it's
a
hundred,
but
we
need
to
know
what
the
real
number
is.
C
C
You
know
30
well,
eight
years
ago,
plus
30
years
every
month
they
do
a
Personnel
review
report
of
of
the
demographics
of
the
agency
and
the
vacancy
rate
and
I've
never
seen
a
200
number
that
I've
experienced.
So
if
somebody
has
that
methodology
they're
getting
200
I'm
happy
to
sit
down,
but
that's
not
what's
important,
I
think
what
I'm
here
and
the
public
are
hearing
is:
what
do
we
need
to
go
forward
and
I?
Think
that's
a
good
understanding.
The
national
average
is
about
2.5
per
thousand.
C
We
were
at
3.2
per
thousand
back
in
the
early
2003
era,
but
through
efficiency
and
Technology.
The
cause
of
service
last
year
have
gone
down
about
49
of
the
calls
for
service
and
the
police
are
from
the
community
about
51
percent
of
those.
The
larger
number
are
Community
engagement
from
the
police
doing
proactive
work,
so
the
calls
have
gone
down
over
the
last
couple
years,
including
now
coming
out
of
Cova.
They
still
trajectory
trajectory
lower
than
what
they
were
before.
So
we
have
to
look
at
the
growth
make
sure.
C
Obviously
the
crime
there's
a
lot
of
ingredients
that
go
into
deployment
and
I
think
once
they
hit
this
optimized
deployment,
which
just
went
through
shift
bid.
We
can
come
back
with
a
report
about
the
gap
of
what
we
need
going
forward
and
making
sure
that
every
neighborhood
has
what
they
need
to
to
be
successful.
I
C
C
O
I'm
glad
you
brought
up
this
conversation
because
I
know
that
we're
going
through
a
shift,
change
or
a
shift
bid
and
folks
are
going
to
be
moving
to
different
departments,
and
that
is
what
I've
heard
from
the
community
that
they're
concerned
that
they're
going
to
lose
their
officer
and
that
they
have
new
people
coming
in.
So
I
just
wanted
to
you
to
take
this
time.
O
If
you
could
just
talk
to
the
public
and
share
what
are
what
are
the
processes
when,
when
a
new
officer
joins
a
different
Squad,
a
different
neighborhood?
How
does
that?
How
do
how
do?
How
does
the
department
encourage
those
folks
to
get
to
know
the
new
space?
Do
they
do
they
Shadow
an
officer
who
was
already
there
for
a
little
while
to
to
get
to
know
people
that
they
can
talk
to
and
frequent
like?
What
does
that
look
like.
C
It's
an
excellent
question
about
Community
engagement,
so
so
in
the
in
the
collective
bargaining
agreement,
officers
based
on
tenure
seniority
are
allowed
to
shift
bid
one
time
a
year.
You
know
we
have
approached
the
union
and
have
discussed
the
idea
of
working
together
to
have
what
would
be
called
a
dynamic
shift
bid
instead
of
a
once
a
year
shift
bid,
meaning
as
a
position
opens.
If
you're
first
on
the
list,
then
you
can,
it
would
be
less
challenging
to
do
it
almost
all
the
time,
as
opposed
to
a
big
move.
C
But
this
is
what
the
unit
has
asked
for
and
so
far
we
haven't
been
successful
in
in
converting
that
thought
process.
However,
the
two
important
parts
of
what
you
asked
is
what
happens
in
shiftbit
and
how
do
we
reacclimate
to
the
community
when
those
officers
move
around
or
get
removed
to
somewhere
else?
So
that's
their
choice.
I
will
tell
you
that
the
numbers
traditionally
when
I
had
it
were
very
low,
because
most
people
become
part
of
that
community
and
they
don't
want
to
leave
they.
They
know
all
of
the
community
members.
C
They
know
the
schools,
they
know
the
businesses
and
they
really
don't
want
to
go
and
a
lot
of
it
is
done
and
councilman
Goods
May
support.
This
thought,
based
on
the
leadership
of
that
Squad.
They
will
follow
that
leader
and
a
lot
of
times
those
leaders
I
had
senior
people
that
didn't
want
to
get
off
midnights
they.
They
stayed
on
midnights
for
30
years
and
and
those
officers
followed
that
leader
and
but
the
second
time
for
those
that
do
move.
C
One
thing
that
I
started
in
2009,
which
I
think
still
goes
on
today,
is
any
Community
member
can
hold
a
porch
roll
call
where
those
squads
can
have
roll
call
on
their
front
porch,
and
we
started
it
in
Seminole
Heights
and
at
blossomed
around
the
city.
But
the
challenge
is
to
get
the
neighborhood
association
leaders,
the
neighborhood
watch
leaders
to
ask
for
those
Portugal
calls
and
you
get
introduced
to
the
squad
and
you
get
to
understand
on
both
Cycles
who
your
officers
are,
and
you
get
cell
phone
numbers
and
those
kind
of
things
really
blossomed.
O
Following
that,
which
is
very
true,
I
think
it's
it's
critical
to
do
when
a
new
office
Wayne's
an
area
I
know
that
crime
crime
watches
are
divided
into
grids.
They
don't
necessarily
correspond
to
neighborhoods
per
se.
They
try,
but
they
don't
always
one.
One
of
the
concerns
that
the
community
has
voiced
about
that
program
is
that
they
are
not.
They
do
not
know
who
their
surrounding
representatives
are.
That
makes
any
sense.
So
if
you're
in
Grid
I
believe
58
is
one
in
Seminole
Heights,
we
worked
in
all
the
time.
O
O
I
would
really
love
to
explore
with
you
offline
how
we
can
Empower
more
Community
activists
in
that
role
to
partner
with
one
another
to
provide
better
eyes
and
ears
for
officers
in
general,
and
just
just
the
safety
between
communities
and
right
now,
again
speaking
from
experience
as
a
neighborhood
leader
that
can
be
siled
at
times
and
neighborhood
leaders
find
it
very
frustrating
that
they
can't
talk
to
their
counterparts
and
that's
something.
P
B
P
Thank
you,
and
to
both
major
and
to
you
chief
I,
think
the
Public's
got
to
know
how
long
it
takes
to
produce
an
officer
you
say
bring
them
in,
but
I
think
at
the
end
of
the
day,
when
they
go
through
everything,
you've
got
to
spend
what
four
or
five
months
riding
in
a
car
with
another
officer
to
learn
all
the
processes
and
things
that
you
see
or
don't
see,
and
what
you
hear.
It's
not
just
hiring
somebody
and
saying
here's,
your
badge
go!
Do
it
even
though
you
graduated
and
so
forth,
and
so
on.
C
C
There
there
is
some
requests
from
our
partner
agencies
to
help
because
they're
challenged
with
getting
recruiting
and
some
of
the
salaries
that
Council
has
supported
against
inflation
for
our
Public
Safety
officers
goes
a
long
way,
so
it's
it's
very
attractive
to
work
here.
It's
been
that
way
since
I've
been
here
in
84,
but
I
will
say
going
back
to
your
original
question
is
when
an
officer
hits
the
street,
they
go
through
a
field
training
program
which
is
five
phases,
and
you
have
your
initial
phase.
C
Second,
third,
fourth,
and
then
fifth
phase
is
the
balance
of
your
probation,
so
just
to
make
it
simple,
an
officer
to
truly
be
on
their
own
and
off
probation
takes
a
year,
but
about
half
of
that
they're
in
that
last
phase,
where
they
really
are
working
as
an
independent
resource
on
their
final
squad
or
his
or
her
final
Squad.
So
I
always
like
to
say
a
year.
C
That's
why
we
created
the
overhire
program,
so
we
can
overlap
and
reduce
the
attrition
rate
between
the
planned
departures
that
councilman
Goods
talked
about
in
the
drop,
as
well
as
making
sure
we
keep
that
five
percent
which
in
a
thousand
person
department
or
just
under
that,
would
be
50
or
less
not.
To
mention
a
lot
of
things
that
they'll
get
spoken
of
very
often
is
the
size
of
our
Reserve
Force.
C
So
we
have
a
lot
of
retired
officers
that
stay
on
as
a
volunteer
resource
term
officer,
and
they
have
to
donate
so
many
hours
a
month
as
part
of
that
volunteer
program
and
that's
offset
by
working
special
events
and
working
in
some
of
the
extra
Duty
jobs.
So
when
I
had
it,
there
was
over
over
a
hundred
I,
don't
know
what
the
numbers
are
today,
but
the
councilman
Goods
point
I
think
we
can
come
back
and
give
all
of
that
right
after
this
deployment
settles
coming
up.
B
B
When
you
have
a
shift,
let's
just
say,
there's
three
officers:
one
is
sick.
One's
out
on
training
and
another
has
family
leave.
That
means
you
got
to
pull
from
other
areas
of
the
city
back
when
we
were
talking
about
budget.
My
request
was
for
more
Staffing,
more
Staffing
code
enforcement
permitting
inspection,
fire
and
police
I
still
feel
that
we
need
more
police
officers.
We
need
more
presence
out
there,
and
some
of
those
police
officers
need
to
be
on
bicycles.
Some
of
them
need
to
get
out
of
their
cars
and
walk
the
street.
B
But,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
the
police
officers
can't
do
it
themselves
and
I
know
it's
an
old,
overused
expression.
But
if
you
see
something
say
something,
we
need
your
help
as
Citizens
to
help
our
police
force
to
help
keep
your
neighborhood
safe.
Thank
you,
major
councilman
Carlson.
You
want
to
go
into
agenda
item
number
seven.
K
Yeah,
just
to
set
up
number
seven
real
fast.
There
were
some
public
comments
this
morning
about
biking
while
black,
and
this
is
not
that
this
is
not
about
people-
innocent
people
riding
a
bicycle
on
the
street.
This
was
a
specific
question,
a
specific
issue
that
happened
in
in
South
Tampa,
at
least
I.
K
Don't
know
if
it
happened
in
other
areas,
but
there
was
a
group
of
you're
going
to
tell
us
I
think
there
was
a
group
about
15
people
who
would
surround
cars
in
bicycles
and
and
and
the
feedback
we
saw
online
and
verbally
was
that
they
were
they
felt
like
they
were
threatened
and
terrorized,
and
so
there
were
many
people
from
neighborhoods
and
individuals
who
reached
out
to
help
and
your
team
stepped
in
and
I
think
you
have
some
positive
news
too
and
I'll.
Let
you
go.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
AK
Thank
you
Council,
yes,
I'm
here
on
the
second
agenda
item
to
discuss
council's
concerns
and
the
citizens
concerns
about
bicyclists
that
are
writing
and
causing
dangerous
situations.
There
was
one
particular
date
in
early
December,
where
it
help
happened
in
South,
Tampa,
closer
to
the
Davis
Island
area.
So
first
I
would
like
to
say
that
when
officers
come
into
contact
with
any
large
group
of
cyclists,
like
the
one
that
we're
discussing
the
best
way
to
combat
the
bad
cycling,
behavior
is
always
to
educate
the
writers.
AK
It's
so
important
for
us
to
first
come
in
contact
with
that
group
and
speak
to
them.
We
always
want
to
do
Education
First,
rather
than
immediately
impose
enforcement.
I
first
heard
of
the
cyclist
situation
in
early
December,
as
I
just
said,
and
when
I
heard
about
it,
I
immediately
got
with
my
shift
commanders
because
there
was
another
day
of
concern
upcoming
the
following
Sunday,
where
this
group
was
reported
to
going
to
assemble
again.
So
we
wanted
to
be
out
in
front
of
that.
AK
We
put
together
a
little
operation
plan
for
the
officers
we
monitored
the
area.
We
also
monitored
the
traffic
cameras
that
were
available
to
us
through
the
real-time
crime
Center
and
they
didn't
come.
So
we
did
not
hear
about
this
group
or
any
more
formation
of
this
group
coming
until
the
children's
Gasparilla
Parade.
Again
we
addressed
it
by
putting
together
mini
operations
plan
this
one
was
led
by
Lieutenant
Bridgeman
in
District
3..
He
actually
did
come
in
contact
with
the
group.
There
were
13
writers.
AK
I
also
saw
the
group,
there
were
13
writers,
they
did
not
go
to
the
Children's
Parade,
they
stayed
away
from
there
and
they
ended
up
going
north
towards
District
Two,
the
Busch
Gardens
area,
and
they
rode
their
bikes
and
he
did
speak
to
them.
They
were
respectful
of
him.
He
reminded
them
of
the
roadways,
so
he
said
you
know
it's
very
dangerous.
When
you
do
your
Willies
on
your
bicycle,
please
don't
do
that.
Some
were
younger.
Some
were
older.
It
was
a
mixed
group.
AK
AK
There
was
five
in
particular
and
they
actually
were
walking
their
bike
through
the
intersection
and
they
stopped
to
talk
to
me.
One
kid
told
me
he
was
from
Boston.
He
was
joking
around
that
and
we
looked
at
their
bikes.
They
all
had
the
proper
bike
equipment
on
them.
I
just
reminded
them
to
be
safe,
because
the
Habit
is
to
just
go
straight
into
trafficking
and
counter
flow
traffic
and
reminded
them.
AK
They
can't
do
that
and
they
walked
over
to
the
new
Water
Street
district
and
they
were
pushing
their
bikes,
so
they
were
very
respectful
and
comparing
the
concerns
here
in
Tampa
with
other
cities,
I
found
that
another
way
that
those
other
jurisdictions
are
combating
bad
cycling,
behaviors
by
improving
their
infrastructure.
Tampa's
already
doing
this,
we
just
saw
the
big
renovation
that
went
on
Cass
Street
from
the
downtown
area
to
the
University
of
Tampa.
We
have
it
right
here
in
front
of
City
Hall
along
Jackson
Street,
so
we're
encouraging
more
cycling.
AK
So
we
will
see
more
cyclists
in
our
areas
of
all
ages.
Different
types
of
groups
coming
and
they
do
sometimes
ride
in
bigger
groups
than
we
want
them
to,
but
we
are
reminding
cyclists,
do
not
ride
more
than
two
tandem
because
it's
not
safe,
and
we
also
have
measures
that
we
want
the
drivers
to
know.
We
there's
distracting
Behavior
by
the
cyclists.
AK
We
don't
want
them
to
focus
on
the
distracting
Behavior,
even
if
you're
in
a
car
or,
if
you're
on
your
bike
and
you
come
to
an
intersection
at
the
same
time
yield
the
right
away
to
the
other
person.
If
it
looks
like
it's
going
to
interfere
with
your
skills
and
that's
a
recommendation
from
some
of
the
other
communities
just
wave
those
cyclists
through,
let
them
go
by
you
and
you,
as
a
cyclist
group,
can
do
the
same
thing.
Wipe
the
drivers
through.
If
there's
only
one
car
sit
there.
AK
Please
have
your
group
wait,
let
the
the
car
go
through
and
let
them
go.
Please
be
mindful
of
pedestrians.
Also,
the
officers
are
equipped
to
help
the
cyclists
I
did
bring
a
variety
of
bike
lights
that
I'll
share
with
Council.
Afterwards,
these
bike
lights.
We
give
them
out.
We
partner
with
the
Department
of
Transportation.
We
have
different
kinds
because
there's
all
different
sides
of
bikes
and
some
of
the
lights
are
smaller
bigger,
but
they
illuminate
the
same,
and
that
will
help
our
cyclists.
AK
However,
we
still
know
there's
concerns
and
situations
where
Citizens
need
assistance
immediately
and
in
these
situations
we
would
tell
them.
Please
call
us
we
on
the
situation
that
we
began
talking
about.
We
were
not
called
the
citizens
got
exasperated
because
they
used
a
community
Forum
on
social
media
and
it
just
snowballed
into
everybody
was
just
this
happened.
This
happened,
this
happened
and
we
had
not
received
the
calls.
So
if
you
call
us
the
officers
will
respond,
they
need
to
get
out
there
immediately.
AK
We
want
the
citizens,
whether
they're
on
the
bike
or
they're
in
the
car,
to
get
the
assistance
they
need.
Please
you
know
cyclists
and
motorists.
They
need
to
act
in
predictable
ways.
You
need
to
know
which
each
one
of
them
are
doing.
You
can't
just
go
around
a
car.
You
know
to
catch
up
with
your
buddy,
so
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
when
we
come
into
contact
with
the
cyclists
education
and
if
we
have
to,
then
we
will
do
the
enforcement
in
we.
AK
We
will
also,
unfortunately,
you
know
the
same
for
drivers
as
we
have
to
the
vehicles.
So
this
past
weekend,
actually
the
weekend
before
the
children's
gas
brilla
parade,
we
did
do
a
bicycle
Rodeo.
We
do
a
lot
of
those
in
the
community.
We
gave
up
over
200
bicycle
helmets
and
bicycle
lights,
so
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
encourage
good
behavior.
Sometimes
we
have
to
start
it
with
the
younger
generation,
because
the
current
generation
might
already
have
those
bad
behaviors
and
we
don't
want
to
have
to
start
enforcement
if
we
can
rely
on
education.
AK
AK
We
have
some
of
these
and
they
recharge,
and
we
also
have
you
can
put
around
your
chest
so
important
that
you
are
well
illuminated.
The
reflective
things
that
you
need
to
ride,
advice.
N
Thank
you
very
much
another
area,
and
this
was
brought
up
by
our
mutual
friend
Jennifer.
The
Riverwalk
and
and
I've
witnessed
this
myself
and
I've
received
several
complaints.
N
They
call
them
biker
games,
but
it's
young
people
on
bicycles,
people
walk
on
the
Riverwalk
and
there's
nights
Friday
night
Sunday
nights
we're
so
busy
and
they're
popping
wheelies
just
cutting
through,
and
you
know
folks
saying:
they're
terrorizing
us
because
they're
coming
right
up
to
us,
you
know
we're
not
we
don't
know
if
we're
gonna
get
hit
with
the
front
tire
of
the
bike
and
all
this
and
that
but
I
think,
most
recently
within
the
last
two
weeks,
one
of
the
individuals
that
has
constantly
complained
because
he
lives
here
downtown
said
that
police
were
out
there
monitoring
the
area.
N
Finally,
I
don't
know
if
you
had
anything
to
do
with
that
as
well,
but
that
that
situation
is
getting
getting
resolved
but
yeah
it's
not
15,
it
would
be
like
30
40
bites
and
they
were
coming
through.
You
know
popping
wheelies
doing
tricks,
but
you
know:
there's
people
pushing
strollers
and
older
folks
and
someone's
going
to
get
hurt
and
people
have
gotten
they've.
N
Come
very
close
to
getting
hurt,
but
but
again
tpd
as
of
two
weeks
ago,
they
were
out
there
patrolling
and
I
think
talking
to
folks
and
I
haven't
heard
anything
since
so,
if
you
had
anything
to
do
with
that,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
it.
So
it's
been
a
positive
response
from
the
the
folks
from
there.
So
thank
you.
Councilman.
K
AK
AK
There
was
a
separate
initiative,
but
that
has
been
several
years
almost
a
decade
now,
but
we
are
doing
education
I
mean
certainly
we
weren't
targeting
parking
biking
while
black,
while
we
were
at
the
bicycle
Rodeo.
So
these
are
the
lights
that
we're
giving
out
to
the
young
kids,
but
we
have
continued
this
program.
It's
not
just
because
of
that.
It's
always
anything
to
do
with
cycling.
We
just
need
them
to
have
the
correct
equipment,
the
helmets
and.
K
And
just
to
this
specific
issue
that
was
on
this
agenda
item,
there
was
a
specific
group
where
people
felt
threatened
because
of
the
wheelies
or
the
way
they
were
not
just
wheelies,
but
apparently
they
were
doing
other
things
to
to
make
people
feel
threatened.
Do
you
feel
just
for
public
purpose?
You
feel
like
that
issue
is
resolved.
Now
you
all
have
had
a
conversation
with
them.
You
didn't
have
to
arrest
anybody.
You
didn't
have
to
find
anybody,
but
you
had
conversations
and
now
we've.
AK
Had
we
have
been
going
out
and
actively
patrolling
the
areas
in
question
to
try
to
come
in
contact
with
the
bicycle?
Guru
groups-
they're
not
always
the
same
people,
but
we
just
have
to
put
the
word
out
and
encourage
good
cycling
etiquette
and
that's
what
all
the
officers
in
all
three
districts,
because
the
the
Riverwalk
actually
isn't
in
my
district
is
in
District
three
Mr
Major
D
Felice
is
committed
to
the
same
education
program
and
coming
in
contact
with
the
cyclists
and
we've.
AK
K
Yeah
and
for
anybody
watching,
I
think
once
or
twice
a
year,
we're
still
getting
updates
on
the
biking,
while
black
numbers
which
were
coming
down,
but
we're
still
looking
to
make
sure
there
aren't
disparities
throughout
the
city.
The
other
thing
it
it's
somewhat
tangent,
but
almost
every
time
I
drive
down
to
Dale
Mabry.
K
As
an
example,
I
see
someone
cutting
across
the
road,
not
at
a
light
and
instead
of
I
think
when
cars
are
on
roads
like
that
they're
supposed
to
act
like
a
car,
but
instead
they
just
jut
across
and
I
almost
see
people
get
hit
almost
every
day.
What?
How
can
we
try
to
resolve
those
issues
to
help
people
not
take
risks
like
that?
So.
AK
One
of
the
things
Tampa
has
committed
and
we
have
the
vision.
Zero
program
that's
been
implemented
for
a
few
years
now
to
increasing
our
lighted
crosswalks,
most
notably,
it
was
the
Bayshore
area.
It
was
Hillsboro
Avenue,
so
we're
we're
committed
to
that.
So,
if
you
have
an
area
concerning
you're,
seeing
repetitive
Behavior,
please
let
us
know
we
can
go
out
there
and
do
enforcement
activities
start
with
education.
If
we
need
to
then
we'll
cite
them.
K
I
see
it
Dale
Mabry
a
lot.
The
other
thing
I
see
is
people
going
through
a
red
light
like
when
those
when
the,
when
the
cars
are
stopped
and
they'll
go
diagonal
across
the
red
light
across
all
the
incoming
traffic
and
and
everyone
just
diagonal
it
that
happens
like
once
a
week
also
and
I
I,
don't
know
that
maybe
it's
a
separate
conversation
for
another
day,
but
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
figure
out
how
to
reach
some
of
those
folks
and
and
encourage
them
not
to
break
the
traffic
laws.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
O
I
just
wanted
to
have
Mr
bday.
He
had
his
camera
on
because
he's
got
some
really
exciting
news
about
Vision,
zero
I.
Think
that's
the
reason
he
popped
on.
AL
AL
We
will
be
able
to
deploy
more
bicycle
infrastructure
as
far
as
bicycle
behavior
and
as
far
as
accommodation
of
bicyclists.
Some
of
the
challenges
that
we
see
and
I
say
this
is
a
bicyclist.
Myself
is
a
lack
of
infrastructure,
and
so
it's
not
just
on
the
bicyclists.
Always
it's
an
awareness
in
education
on
everyone's
part,
but
we
are
working
towards
getting
more
and
more
bicycle
infrastructure
and
more
crosswalks
and
more
opportunities
to
improve
safety.
On
our
roadways,
beginning
with
our
underserved
Community
ZIP
codes.
A
B
O
You
for
that,
and
then
my
question
or
my
comment
is
actually
probably
directed
to
both
of
you
at
this
point,
and
you
mentioned
several
times:
educating
both
bicyclists
and
drivers
and
I
think
that
we
need
now
that
we
are
developing
more
of
a
bike
culture
and
we're
finding
people
using
bikes
to
get
around.
It
might
be
a
good
time
to
work
together
to
create
some
programs
to
remind
people
how
to
ride
a
bike
safely.
O
One
new
thing
is
the
ear
pods
that
have
popped
up,
that
I
see
people
in
bikes
wearing
all
the
time
wildly
dangerous,
but
also
the
cars
just
not
not
yielding
not
giving
way
to
bicyclists.
So
I
think,
there's
absolutely
area
that
we
could
work
on
education
to
both
both
areas
or
both
the
bicyclists
and
car
ride.
Car
drivers,
so
I
would
really
love
to
to
talk
about
that
in
the
future.
O
Seeing
what
we
could
do
through
tpd's
communication
department
and
the
City
of
Tampa's
overall,
to
really
focus
on
how
we
encourage
both
sets
to
get
along.
B
Any
of
the
comments
does
a
Vic.
Don't
don't
leave
I
want
I
want
to
pay
you
some
kudas,
it
does.
A
3
000
hunk
of
three
thousand
pound
hunk
of
metal
have
more
rights
on
the
road
than
a
bicyclist.
Now,
no
not
at
all,
but
we
all.
We
all
need
to
learn
the
rules
of
the
road
Vic
again
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
Mobility
staff
for
the
quick
build
cast
Street
project.
B
Thank
you.
There,
I
I
was
there
with
with
some
of
your
people.
It
is
amazing
what
this
city
is
doing
for
vision,
zero
and
and
bicyclists.
B
We
are
now
getting
more
and
more
bike
paths,
but
to
your
point
about
the
infrastructure.
Until
we
have
those
infrastructures
and
until
people
feel
safe,
riding
their
bikes
on
the
street
with
a
barrier
between
them
and
the
automobiles
bicyclists
are
still
going
to
ride
on
the
sidewalks.
B
This
subject
that
was
brought
up
is
about
use
and
we
were
all
young
at
one
time
with
our
testosterone
going
crazy,
the
mail
and
we
all
wanted
a
pop
wheelies
look.
What
I
can
do
see
what
I
can
do
watch
what
I
can
do,
but
there
are
people
in
all
areas
of
town,
Davis,
Island,
Ybor,
City,
downtown,
where
they
are
feeling
a
little
threatened
by
these.
These
actions
and
I
don't
feel
safe,
driving
because
God
forbid
one
of
them
Falls
in
front
of
my
car.
B
B
AF
You
asked
us
to
report
back
about
the
ad
hoc
committee
for
the
World
War
II
veterans
that
will
be
part
of
the
veterans
advisory.
Council
I
submitted
a
memo
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
any.
I
Committee
sharesha
couldn't
answer
yesterday:
how
are
you
going
to
make
up
that
committee?
Will
it
be
council
members
a
few
from
the
mayor?
How
would
that
that
ad
hoc
be
made
up,
because
I
I
have
a
good
veteran
that
Mr
Melvin
Collins,
who
does
all
the
memorial
and
Veteran
Day
programs?
What
I
call
over
at
the
Rest
Haven
civility
on
the
east
side
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
folks,
like
that
who
who
really
know
to
know
you
know
part
of
that
committee?
So
what
will
be
the
makeup
of.
AF
It
yes,
sir,
thank
you,
councilman
Goose
for
that
question,
and
maybe
I
wasn't
clear
when
I
was
presented
before
the
makeup
of
the
committee
will
come
from
members
that
you
will
submit
to
me
that
you
who
are
interested
or
you're
interested
in
serving
on
the
advisory
Council
now
part
of
that
at
carve
out
of
the
subcommittee
or
ad
hoc
Committee
of
the
advisory
Council
will
be
those
individuals
who
are
interested
in
the
World
War
II
history,
making
sure
we
keep
their
stories
alive
so
that
component
of
it.
N
K
Thank
you
for
following
up
with
this
and
putting
this
together
for
anybody
who's
watching
this
for
a
first
time
before
Tampa
Airport,
the
soldiers
had
to
go
in
and
out
of
Tampa
Union
Station,
so
we
want
to
honor
them
and
and
tell
their
stories.
My
request
is
that
we
get
Gary
mormino
involved,
he's
the
one
that
originally
told
me
about
this
he's
interviewed
over
the
years.
K
Many
World
War
II
veterans,
who
went
through
the
champion
station,
and
he
also
has
has
researched
the
archives
of
including
people
who
didn't
return
so
I
think
he
would
be
a
great
resource
there.
Thank
you.
AE
I
thank
councilman
Carlson
for
his
work
over
here
at
Union,
Station
I.
Think
that's
a
wonderful
project,
Etc
and
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
and
I
was
a
little
bit
confused
yesterday
on
this.
So
I
had
done
a
motion
for
some
time
ago,
a
veterans
Advisory
board
for
the
mayor,
unlike
what
not,
unlike
what
we
have
with
the
African-American
advisory
aboard
Hispanic
Advisory
Board,
is
that
what
this
is
resisting
some
is
this
narrowly
tailored
to
the
WW2
Memorial?
It's.
AE
AF
It
has
morphed,
so,
yes,
you
want
to
create
an
advisory
Council
like
we
have
the
other
advisory
Council.
So
that
is
correct,
but
a
sub
component
of
this
instead
of
having
an
ad
hoc,
that's
doing
similar
work,
a
sub-component
of
the
veterans
advisory
Council
will
be
those
individuals
who
are
specifically
interested
in
the
World,
War
II
portion
or
in
any
other
area
of
interest
for
veterans.
If
we
have
a
group
or
when
we
have
the
group,
if
they're
interested
in
the
carve
out
from
The
Advisory
Council.
A
AK
AF
So
it's
all
inclusive,
but
this
after
I
report
it
the
first
time
the
request
was
to
come
back
to
see
what
are
those
things
that
we
could
do
or
put
in
place
to
have
a
group
specifically
interested
in
ensuring
that
we
preserve
the
history
and
the
stories
of
the
World,
War,
II,
vet.
Sure,
okay,.
AE
Yeah
and
I
know
in
in
the
larger
issue.
I
think
is
coming
back
to
us.
I,
don't
know
when,
but
I
think
it's
coming
back
to
us,
maybe
in
a
month
or
two
and
whatnot
yeah.
AE
So
that's
great
I
mean
again
what
what
I
kind
of
Envision
with
this
is
not
unlike
the
the
marriage,
disability
Alliance
things
like
that,
so
that
they
can
help
lead
veteran
Endeavors,
patriotic
Endeavors
within
the
city
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
Ceremonies
and
days
that
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
think
about
like
Purple
Heart
Day
how
to
properly
honor
memorial
day
I,
for
example,
I
would
love
to
see
a
committee
that
that
helps
talk
to
local
businesses
in
the
city
of
Tampa,
saying
damn
it
don't
do.
AE
AE
So
so,
that's
great
so
I
know
the
the
larger
ones
coming
back,
but
I'm
glad
they're,
focusing
on
this
because
again
I
I
I
I
thank
the
councilman
for
his
work
on
this,
because
I
think
this
is
a
magnificent
thing
for
Union
Station
and
the
the
whole
restoration
of
Union,
Station,
Etc
I
think
is
a
is
a
great
thing
and
as
and
as
a
on
the
larger
issue,
you
know
it's
so
close
to
the
George
Edgecombe
courthouse
and
it
can
really
be
a
great
place
where
attorneys
in
between
their
many
hearings,
if
they're
doing
them
live
and
not
by
zoom
and
I
I
hate,
Zoom,
Court
hearings,
but
if
they're
doing
them
live
that
they
can
go
and
hang
out
at
the
Union,
Station
or
whatever
then
come
back
and
you
know
do
court.
N
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
and
thank
you
to
councilman
Carlson
for
bringing
this
up
I.
Don't
have
to
say
it
because
we
know
it.
But
you
know
this
is
the
greatest
Generation
that
we're
talking
about
and
they're
called
that
for
a
reason
and
sadly,
I
wish.
We
would
have
done
this
sooner
because
all
the
World
War
II
vets,
except
one,
have
passed
away
and,
and
they
would
have
loved
to
have
been
part
of
this
and
the
stories
that
they
tell
one
of
them
was
at
Drew
field.
N
Others
shipped
out
through
Union
Station,
ended
up
in
the
Pacific
on
and
on
and
on,
but
I'm
glad
that
we
are.
We
brought
this
up
I'm
glad
councilman
Carlson
brought
this
up
because
you
think
about
how
old
are
the
youngest
World
War
II
veterans
born
in
1927
1928?
The
war
was
over
by
45,
but
then
you
had
individuals.
There
was
a
gentleman
that
passed
away
in
the
last
year,
who
was
in
Germany
in
1946,
so
when
you
had
like
Berlin
airlift
and
stuff-
and
he
had
a
great
story
to
tell-
and
unfortunately
he
passed
away.
N
A
N
War
veterans
and
the
younger
guys
were
the
Vietnam
guys
now
the
Vietnam
Vets
they're
getting
up
there
and
I'm
glad
that
as
I've
gotten
older
I've
learned
to
appreciate
them
more
and
listened
to
their
stories,
because
once
once
you
lose
them,
you
lose
them.
Councilmember,
Viera
and
I
were
lucky
enough
twice
to
meet
Woody
Williams,
who
passed
away
in
the
last
year
out
of
West
Virginia,
and
he
was
the
last
Medal
of
Honor
recipient
from
World
War
II
for
his
actions
on
Iwo
Jima.
N
B
I
I
AF
Councilman
Goods,
so
last
week
we
were
before
you
and
we
reported
the
when
sharisha
Hills
and
I
director
Hills
and
I
reported
on
the
projects.
One
of
the
projects
that
we
reported
on
was
establishing
veterans
memorials
and
each
councilman
District
Council
District.
So
yes,
that's
part
of
it
too.
When
I
said
it
morphed,
we
have
different
angles
that
we're
we're
looking
at
to
make
sure
that
we
look
at
Tampa,
Union
Station.
We
make
sure
we're
looking
at
those
World,
War
II
veterans,
ensuring
that
the
stories
are
not
lost
so
yeah.
It's
it's
all
inclusives.
P
P
The
train
operation
at
the
Union
Station
has
been
brought
up
two
or
three
times
and
again.
I
want
to
go
back
in
history
and
thank
the
Greco
Administration
for
the
90s
doing
complete
renovation
of
it.
What
you
see
there
now
is
what
was
done,
and
that
was
a
95
96
97
error.
So
you're
looking
about
you
know
35
years
ago,
and
these
are
the
things
that
we
forget
when
you
have
a
building
and
it's
there
and
it's
just
there
and
nobody
maintains
it
the
way.
It
should
be.
P
AF
AF
I,
yes,
so
my
final
ask
of
you
is,
if
you
have
any
names
of
anyone,
please
send
them
to
me.
So
I
can
make
sure
that
everyone's
represented
on
the
advisory
Council.
AE
I
mean
the
the
one
and
I
know.
We
all
know
him
and
Colonel
DJ
Reyes
is
the
head
Mentor
in
the
veterans,
treatment,
Court
I
mean
I
can
get
you
his
information
and
and
whatnot.
He
serves
with
a
lot
of
good
veterans
there,
including
by
the
way
Keith
pointer
who's.
Stephanie
poynter's
husband,
is
also
a
mentor
there.
He
was
a
lieutenant
colonel
and
I
mean
that's
and
get
and
two
things
if
I
made,
which
is
number
one
councilman
Goods,
brings
up
something
very
important,
which
is
to
make
and
obvious.
AE
Everyone
knows
this
to
get
the
all
over
the
city,
all
different
backgrounds,
Etc
et
cetera,
just
a
good
guy
to
start
with
I
call
him
the
Hawaiian,
Captain,
America
and
I
think
he'd
be
a
good
guy
to
start
with.
AE
A
B
Sir,
all
right,
we
are
at
that
time
where
we'll
be
taking
lunch.
However,
when
we
come
back
at
1
30,
we
are
going
to
hear
agenda
item
number
95..
That
is
a
130.
Well,
it
just
will
take
a
few
seconds
and
I
believe
that
is
going
to
be
withdrawn,
but
we
just
have
to
hear
from
the
public
comment
until
then.
We
are
adjourned
to
1
30.
