If

and
remain

for
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
E
Thank
you
city
council,
for
the
opportunity
to
come
back
again
today.
The
last
time
I
was
here,
you
guys
invited
me
back
so
I
must
not
have
done
too
bad
peace,
Giver
of
Hope,
sustainer
of
life,
source
of
health
and
healing
Wellspring
of
wisdom,
wisdom
and
author
and
finish
of
our
faith.
We
pause
in
this
moment
to
acknowledge
our
need
for
you.
E
E
Holy
Spirit,
we
ask
you
to
fill
our
city
leaders
with
wisdom
with
understanding
with
discernment,
with
knowledge
grant
them
favor
increase
their
faith,
prepare
to
prepare
them
to
receive
and
pursue
your
will
for
this
city,
draw
them
to
you
and
cause
them
to
know
and
fulfill
your
purpose
for
their
lives
individually
and
for
our
lives
collectively,
as
they
consider
the
decisions
on
budget
today.
Thank
you
that
every
decision
maker
will
remember
that
the
money
is
not
theirs
personally
and
that
a
heart
of
selflessness
and
accountability
and
discipline
will
guide
them.
E
Let
every
dollar
consider
a
real
dilemmas.
Every
number
remember
names
and
every
cent
remember
that
there
are
stories
connected
to
them.
Please
place
people
in
their
past
that
will
provide
scriptural
and
sound
and
godly
counsel,
for
without
your
counsel,
all
of
our
plans
will
go
awry
deal
with
our
leaders
about
keeping
their
hearts
and
motives.
Pure.
Ask
you
God,
we
ask
you
to
make
their
hearts
pliable
and
willing
and
obedient
to
your
word
into
your
way,
calls
each
of
their
lives
glorify
your
name
Lord.
Forgive
us
for
not
praying
for
our
leaders
consistently.
E
Forgive
us
God,
as
we
have
often
LED
selfishly
in
our
motives
and
movements
and
limited
even
our
interactions
with
them.
Forgive
us
God
of
having
calloused
Hearts
when
you've
called
us
to
cause
us
and
to
commitments
that
will
cause
people
to
change
for
the
better
I
pray.
Today
that
our
leaders
lives
will
be
deeper
and
more
rooted
in
a
healthy
Foundation
than
they
that
it
might
be
shallow,
and
not
shallow
and
tossed
by
Winds
of
misguided
ambition.
Father
I
pray
today
that
we
will
always
prioritize
people
over
politics
today.
E
E
May
you
also
always
give
them
greater
knowledge
and
greater
power
so
that
they
can
live,
skillfully,
I,
pray
and
conclude
this
Lord,
that
you
will
bless
them
and
keep
them
that
you
will
make
your
face
to
shine
on
them
and
be
gracious
to
them,
that
you
will
turn
your
face
towards
them
and
give
them
peace
in
Jesus.
Name
amen.
A
C
G
H
C
All
right
we're
going
to
go
quickly
through
the
approval
of
the
agenda.
Just
a
couple
of
items,
there's
a
substitute
substitute
resolution
for
item
number
11
and
we'll
see
we'll
take
that
up
when
we
get
there.
We
have
a
memo
from
councilwoman
hertek
polling
item
number
14..
We're
going
to
hear
that
during
staff
reports
it
will
be
the
first
I,
don't
believe.
There's
an
Administration
update,
so
it'll
be
heard.
First
under
staff
reports
can
I
get
a
motion
to
pull
that
item
session.
D
C
Councilwoman,
council
member
all
in
favor
all
right
any
opposed
all
right.
Let's
go
to
the
staff
reports.
Real
quick,
again
item
number
14
will
go
first
for
item
number
24.
We
have
a
written
report
from
the
chief
of
police.
Would
do
you
like
someone
present.
C
I'm
fine
with
a
written
report.
Okay,
so
we'll
have
that
item
number
25.
This
is
regarding
tpd
using
helicopters.
I
myself
would
like
them
here.
It's
a
big
issue,
but
I
also
have
a
request
that
item
number
25
number
30.
C
be
heard
right.
You
know
together
right
after
each
other,
because
it
is
a
tpd
item.
So
we'll
do
that
item
number
26.
Would
we
like
some?
Yes.
H

B
C
Member
Carlson,
all
in
favor
aye,
we
will
take
a
five-minute
recess
after
the
mayor
presents
the
budget
so
that
CT
TV
can
reset
before
we
start
the
regular
agenda
and
we
will
be
breaking
at
noon
for
lunch
if
we
need
to
because
it
is
a
short
agenda,
may
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
in
the
addendum
councilman
Miranda
Simon
councilman
Clinton,
all
in
favor
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
all
right
item
number
one!
Please
state
your
name.
You
have
three
minutes.
H
J
Right
good
thing:
I
took
that
speed
talking
class
good
morning,
chairman
Maniscalco,
Council
Community.
It
is
my
honor
to
stand
before
you
this
morning
and
present
the
city
of
Tampa's
2024
budget
for
your
consideration
as
you've
heard
in
individual
briefings.
We
have
painstakenly
built
a
budget
that
addresses
the
needs
of
our
community
and
the
most
efficient,
effective
and
Equitable
ways
possible.
We
will
continue
to
be
excellent
stewards
of
the
public
dollars
our
CFO
Dennis
rahiro
will
take
you
through
our
2024
budget
proposal
in
detail,
but
I'd
like
to
provide
you
with
a
brief
overview.
J
This
2024
City
of
Tampa
budget
is
a
turning
point
that
opens
the
door
into
Tampa's
future,
a
budget
in
which
we
as
a
community
take
responsibility
for
addressing
the
greatest
challenges
that
our
city
is
facing.
It's
a
budget
that
makes
the
critical
investments
in
infrastructure
that
our
residents
are
demanding
Investments
That
ensure
that
our
growing
city
remains
safe,
provides
needed.
Housing
paves,
are
crumbling
streets
and
builds
sidewalks,
while
also
investing
in
the
quality
of
life
that
makes
the
city
so
special.
J
This
budget
Is
our
commitment
to
listening
to
our
residents
to
get
things
done
and
that,
after
all,
is
why
we
are
all
here.
The
time
to
invest
in
our
future
is
now-
and
here
is
why
damp
is
one
of
the
nation's
fastest
growing
cities.
It's
on
the
map
as
a
great
place
to
live,
work
play
and
visit.
Wagers
wages
are
increasing
by
a
rate.
That's
beating
inflation.
Household
incomes
are
up
15.7
percent,
since
2017
adjusted
for
inflation,
home
values
are
appreciating,
and
families
are
reinvesting
in
their
neighborhoods.
J
We're
seeing
new
businesses
open
every
day
and
at
2.5
percent
Tampa's
unemployment
rate
is
the
third
lowest
in
the
nation,
but
over
50
000
new
residents
in
the
past
decade,
and
tens
of
thousands
of
new
jobs
means
higher
demand
for
services
and
more
wear
and
tear
on
our
infrastructure
and
with
an
expected
150
000
new
residents
and
250
000
new
jobs
in
the
next
22
years.
Protecting
our
quality
of
life
requires
better
infrastructure
and
smarter
growth.
J
Four
consecutive
years
of
community
value
surveys
shows
that
residents
from
all
demographic
groups
across
our
city
have
high
levels
of
trust
in
city
government.
They
believe
that
the
city
has
done
our
job
well,
over
the
past
four
years,
we've
done
everything
that
we
could
with
the
resources
we
had
to
address
the
issues
that
we
hear
about
from
our
neighborhoods
and
residents.
J
We
continuously
analyze
how
best
to
maintain
the
most
effective
and
efficient
Workforce,
because
we've
spent
our
resources
so
responsibly.
We've
maintained,
top-tier
credit
ratings
that
save
our
taxpayers,
millions
of
dollars
annually,
and
we
focused
on
bringing
in
external
funding
by
making
grants
a
priority.
We've
brought
in
over
139
million
in
competitive
state
and
federal
dollars,
including
35
million
that
we
were
awarded
for
stormwater
projects.
Two
weeks
ago,
we've
completed
comprehensive
Master
plans
to
ensure
that
every
dollar
is
being
spent
in
the
most
impactful
way.
These
plans
are
more
than
documents.
J
They
are
road
maps
for
building
a
Tampa
over
the
next
30
Years
that
is
sustainable,
resilient
and
Equitable,
building
a
Tampa
that
has
the
infrastructure
to
meet
our
needs,
but
also
the
ability
to
maintain
it.
We've
completed
the
moves,
master
plan,
Vision
zero
plan,
Parks
and
Recreation
master
plan,
Tampa
Fire,
Rescue,
Public,
Safety
master
plan
and
the
climate
and
Equity
master
plan,
development
of
a
city-wide
housing
needs
assessment
and
an
update
to
our
comprehensive
plan
are
currently
underway.
J
J
Having
plans
ready
for
implementation
has
been
a
big
Advantage
when
applying
for
Federal
grant
grants
and
has
helped
us
bring
in
a
great
deal
of
funding
and
we've
demonstrated
through
pipes,
storm
water
improvements
and
many
other
projects
that
we
manage
large-scale
infrastructure
projects
at
every
step
of
the
way,
from
issuing
bonds
to
Contracting
the
projects
to
building
and
completing
them
on
time
and
on
budget.
Frankly,
we've
done
everything
we
can
with
what
we
have,
but
the
public
is
demanding.
J
We
do
better
with
potholes
housing
and
other
necessary
services,
and
that's
just
the
beginning,
because
we
must
also
think
about
future
residents
and
how
our
investments
in
transportation
and
Parks
Public
Safety
will
impact.
How
and
where
people
live
and
work
and,
most
importantly,
their
quality
of
life.
So
let's
talk
about
what's
in
the
proposed
budget
and
what's
in
it
for
Tampa
residents,
the
proposed
budget
includes
45
million
in
new
investments
in
transportation,
Public,
Safety
parts
and
housing.
J
We
can
leverage
these
dollars
in
several
ways
to
fund
projects
across
the
city.
As
we
talk
about
the
budget,
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
city
council
for
being
strong
advocates
for
our
city
in
these
key
areas
to
fund
these
critical
projects
and
services,
a
millage
increase
of
1.0
will
be
necessary.
J
We've
raised
the
millage
rate
once
in
30
years,
and
this
is
an
entirely
different
city
than
it
was
three
decades
ago.
This
will
cost
the
average
Tampa
household
19.29
a
month
twice
in
two
years,
Tampa
voters
sent
a
clear
message
that
they
want
to
invest
in
transportation,
infrastructure
and
they're
willing
to
pay
for
it.
They
want
sidewalks,
they
want
safety,
they
want
options,
they
want
shorter,
commutes,
less
congestion
and
smoother
traffic
flow
and,
above
all,
they
want
us
to
fix
their
roads.
J
Last
year,
82
percent
of
District
4
precincts
in
South
Tampa
voted
to
raise
their
own
taxes
to
pay
for
transportation
improvements.
92
percent
of
District,
5
and
86
percent
of
district
6
and
7
precincts
did
the
same.
That's
almost
87
percent
of
Precinct
city-wide.
There
could
be
no
clear
message
from
voters
that
the
time
to
act
is
now.
This
is
something
that
we
hear
about
all
the
time
from
the
public,
but
also
for
members
of
City
Council
councilman
Carlson.
J
We
heard
you
when
you
said
that
we
need
to
focus
on
repaving
and
that
we
can't
wait
for
a
surtax
to
get
it
done.
Councilman
Clendenin.
We
heard
you
when
you
said
that
the
one
thing
you
hear
about
more
than
anything
else
from
your
constituents
is
that
we
need
to
fix
our
roads
and
councilwoman
hertak.
You've
been
a
vocal
advocate
of
doing
what
we
can
to
support
Transit
and
our
bus
system
and
I
agree
that
we
can
do
more.
J
With
our
moves
plan,
we've
listened
to
Residents
in
neighborhoods
across
Tampa
and
identified
over
two
billion
dollars
in
long-term
needs
that
accomplish
the
goals
over
30
years.
These
are
needs
they're
not
wants.
This
budget
starts
to
address
these
needs
by
making
historic
investments
in
transportation
to
safely
connect
people
to
job
schools
and
businesses.
Tampa
residents
don't
want
to
hear
about
why
we
can't
afford
to
fix
our
often
failing
streets.
They
want
us
to
take
responsibility
now
and
get
to
work,
and
this
is
exactly
what
this
budget
does
to
go
into
further
detail
about.
K
Thank
you
mayor,
good
morning,
city
council,
pleasure
to
be
here
this
morning.
Council
we've
heard
from
each
and
every
one
of
you
regarding
your
constituent
needs
and
requests
to
address
Transportation
issues.
Our
residents
contact
us
directly
every
single
day.
Every
day
we
find
new
ways
to
do
more.
K
With
less
we
have
updated
our
strategic
prioritization
approach
where
the
moves
plan
that
included
many
public
engagement
meetings
to
listen
to
our
neighborhood
residents,
we
have
leveraged
the
nine
million
dollars
in
gas
tax
dollars,
which
is
our
only
dedicated
fund
source
to
secure
what
we
affectionately
refer
to
as
other
people's
money.
Opm.
K
K
We
have
realigned
existing
staff
and
resources,
create
the
quick
build
program
and
the
fix
it
FAST
program.
The
quick
build
approach
has
allowed
us
to
use
in-house
forces
to
implement
small
but
impactful
safety
projects.
This
is
fix.
It
FAST
program
has
successfully
improved
our
response
times
to
address
the
most
pressing
repair
needs
on
our
roadways.
K
We
can
all
agree
that
the
state
of
our
transportation
system
is
dire.
Over
40
percent
of
our
roadways
are
in
poor
condition.
If
you
listen
to
our
constituents,
they
would
probably
say:
100
are
in
poor
condition.
This
means
that
many
of
them
need
to
be
rebuilt
rather
than
just
repaved.
That
cost
is
dramatically
higher
than
just
repaving.
K
We
have
over
1300
miles
of
sidewalk
gaps
that
are
needed
to
connect
schools,
parks
and
neighborhoods
throughout
the
entire
city.
The
Tampa
Bay
Region
is
regularly
identified
as
one
of
the
most
dangerous
areas
for
pedestrian
and
bicycle
safety.
Safety
and
congestion
needs
exist.
Citywide
traffic
signals
are
one
of
our
assets
that
allow
us
to
better
manage
congestion
and
improve
safety.
K
Over
half
of
our
600
traffic
signals
are
past
their
useful
life
and
need
to
be
replaced,
and
currently
it's
about
a
million
dollars
per
intersection,
with
the
cost
that

I
think
we

all
agree
that
every
Tampa
resident
has
the
right
to
feel
safe
in
their
own

and

regardless
of
where
they
live.
This
is
something
that
I've
been
committed
to
throughout
my
career
and
I've
heard
the
same
from
each
of
the

members
Public

a
prerequisite
to

our
quality

J
Tampa,
as
you
know,
is
one
of
the
safest
cities
our
size
in
the
nation,
and
that
is
not
by
happenstance.
It
comes
through
hard
work,
dedication
and
collaboration
with
our
community
as
we
grow
into
the
future.
We
will
continue
to
prevent
crime
through
Partnerships,
responsible,
technological
advances
and
programs,
but
our
rapidly
growing
city
will
also
need
more
officers.

choosing
the

Our

indicates
a
strong
sense
of
personal
safety,
and
the
overwhelming
majority
of
our
community
is
satisfied
with
police
presence
and
the
response
in
their
neighborhoods.
This
does
not
mean
our
work
is
complete,
as
we
still
have
areas
to
address.
However,
we
are
on
the
right
track
and
we
are
making
a
difference.
L
We
have
just
under
a
thousand
officers
and
just
over
400
000
citizens,
and
clearly
we
cannot
do
this
alone.
We
are
so
fortunate
to
have
such
an
Engaged
Community.
Here
in
Tampa,
we
Face
falling
below
the
national
average
in
law
enforcement
standards.
If
we
fail
to
keep
up
with
Tampa's
growth,
the
national
average
is
2.4
officers
for
1
000
citizens.
L
L
The
evolution
of
our
assignments
is
increasing
things
like
the
real-time
crime,
Center,
our
Behavioral,
Health,
Unit
or
homeless
Outreach.
The
large
number
of
great
special
events
that
we
have
in
the
city
and
the
evolving
technology
and
training
that
our
officers
are
faced
with
we
excel
in
preventing
crime,
but
this
is
labor
intensive
to
continue
providing
the
highest
level
of
service
to
our
community.
We
must
address
the
gaps
and
the
number
of
officers,
the
modernization
of
our
fleet
vehicles
and
the
community
engagement

M
L
Our
staff,
allowing
them
to
be
more
efficient
and
effective
Council,
just
as
you
all
suggested
and
strongly
supported,
we
must
grow
our
Police
Department
in
concert
with
the
growth
of
the
city.
We
are
proposing
adding
30
additional
sworn
officers.
This
would
bring
the
sworn
officer
levels
from
984
to
1014.,
thus
improving
our
officer
citizen
ratio
in
keeping
us
above
the
national
average.
L
These
additional
officers
will
be
assigned
to
our
front
lines
in
Patrol
and
fill
our
current
gaps
in
training
and
long-term
military
leave
over
three
years.
This
increase
in
Staffing
would
cost
over
nine
million
dollars
through
a
Department
of
Justice
Grant.
We
could
save
the
city
nearly
four
million
dollars
after
the
three
years.
This
increase
in
Staffing
would
cost
us
an
additional
3.4
million
dollars
before
the
adjusted
salaries.
L
L
Adding
a
second
class
would
increase
our
police
recruit
budget
by
just
over
half
a
million
dollars
for
tuitions
and
salaries.
We
are
in
the
process
of
updating
our
police
vehicle
Fleet.
We
are
going
towards
a
90
rotation,
but
to
accomplish
this,
we
are
requesting
a
next
year's
budget,
an
additional
three
and
a
half
million
above
our
budgeted
allotment,
the
impact
of
not
having
this
funding
results
in
fewer
cars
being
purchased,
which
means
keeping
older
cars
in
our
Fleet
that
require
additional
maintenance
and
repair
costs.
L
This
would
not
only
provide
increased
opportunities
for
Community
engagement,
but
would
provide
technology
at
their
fingertips
as
opposed
to
going
back
to
their
card.
Other
top
projects
would
include
increased
digital
evidence,
storage
and
more
advanced
mapping
systems,
so
in
summary,
I'm
requesting
an
investment
in
our
cops,
our
cars
and
our
community.

When

only
around

When

later
becoming

many

J
Tampa's
booming
population
is
putting
a
strain
on
our
Park
system
and
staff.
Since
2009
35
of
our
Park
staff
were
laid
off
in
2009
during
the
Great
Recession
Tampa
has
grown
by
over
50
000

during
that
time,
creating
additional
maintenance
needs
and
programming
backlogs
for
after-school

and
other

When
we
talk
about

your
fight
to
make
our

Please
we
Face
the
growing
need
within
our
Parklands
and
we're
not
within
our
neighborhoods,
with
the
growing
backlog,
with
long
wait
lists,
as
the
mayor
has
mentioned,
and
with
the
reduction
of
the
park
staff
that
35
percent
reduction
in
the
park
staff
that
equates
to
245
employees
that
we
have
not
recovered
as
Tampa
continues
to
grow
and
the
population
continues
to
grow.
That
will
continue
to
put
more
strain
and
impact
on
our
existing
Park
system.
P
P
P
P
Councilman
Vieira,
we
heard
you
about
the
lack
of
Park
and
park
amenities,
amenities
in
your
District.
So
with
the
k-bar
ranch,
we
will
look
at
putting
multi-purpose
Fields
play
areas,
neighborhood
connections
and
parking,
the
Tampa
Palms
Park,
the
five
acre
Park.
We
will
look
at
putting
trails
and
amenities
the
New
Tampa
Nature
Park,
we'll
look
at
including
a
nature
center,
expanding
the
trail
system
and
restrooms.
P
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
many
needs
that
have
been
identified
by
the
master
plan
in
terms
of
programming.
The
mayor
mentioned
the
waitlist
for
Jim
and
dance
well,
even
with
the
previous
millage.
We
still
have
a
wait
list,
so
at
the
Wayne
Pappy
wait
a
facility.
We
have
a
wait
list
of
approximately
1200
people,
as
well
as
in
the
New
Tampa,
so
both
facilities
have
wait.
Lists
of
2400
collected
so
1200
at
each
location.
P
P
So
this
additional
funding
will
allow
us
to
think
creatively
about
how
we
can
expand
our
services
throughout
our
Recreation
system
and
to
hire
additional
staff
to
tend
to
the
gym
and
dance,
and
it's
not
only
gym
and
dance.
We
see
the
same
thing
in
our
after-school
programming
as
well:
maintenance
on
average
Parks
and
Recreation
since
approximately
2500
work,
orders,
2500
work,
orders
to
facility
management,
and
this
is
mostly
due
to
the
Deferred
maintenance
of
our
facilities.
P
P
All
of
our
17
swimming
pools
and
splash
pad
amenities
are
needing
some
level
of
repair
in
one
or
more
of
the
following
areas.
We
have
needs
for
surface
repair,
filtration
and
pump
systems,
heaters
and
blankets,
controllers,
UV
and
decks
every
last
one
of
them.
The
master
plan
has
identified
approximately
24
million
dollars
in
existing
pool
repair
and
maintenance
needs.
P
We
spoke
about
accessibility
in
councilman
Vieira.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
drum
beat
for
and
your
passion
for
leading
this
effort,
but
our
successful
part
should
be
every
part
not
just
highlighted
in
just
one
Park,
so
we
will
provide
Ada's
accessibility
within
all
192
parks
and
we
will
upgrade
our
swimming
pools
with
ADEA
lifts
ramps
and
waiting
access.
P
We
will
continue
to
work
with
our
sustainability
and
resiliency
officer
to
explore
opportunities
for
solar
installations
as
we're
renovating
buildings,
as
well
as
developing
a
canopy

program
for
tree
planting.
Both
of
these

One
of
the
greatest
challenges
facing
Tampa
is
ensuring

There
is

we've
also

a
significant
update

which
will
help

future.
Q
The
city
of
Tampa
is
expected
to
see
approximately
a
20
percent
increase
in

by
2030..
That's
an
additional

thousand
thirty
two
thousand
households
in
the
next
seven
years
to
accommodate
that
growth.
Without
displacing

The

needs
to
build
a
solid

with

to
meet
the

of

We're
talking
about

Q
Q
The
funding
would
also
allow
us
to
provide
an

of

for
the
only
true
way
to
ensure
long-term

Land,
Trust
I
just
mentioned

perhaps
I
should
be
a
little
more
direct.
We
will
see
significant
increase
in
our
homeless
population
unless
a
bold
and
sustainable
investment
is
made
in
fair

Q
The
proposed
millage
will
yield
nine
million
dollars
annually
that
can
be
leveraged
to
134
million
dollars
over
a
five-year
period.
This
increase
is
a
mission
oriented
investment
that
will
invest
in
and
alongside
local
housing
developers
to
create
and
preserve,
affordable
housing
options
for
residents
of
the
city
of
Tampa.
Q
The
infusion
of
cash
is
important
because,
as
you
all
know,
Development
and
Construction
takes
years.
Developers
need
certainty
when
affordable
housing
developers
can
depend
on
funding
in
out
years.
It
increases
their
likelihood
that
they
will
pool
private
and
philanthropic
funds
to
leverage
with
local
funds,
reducing
the
city's
contribution
on
a
per
unit
basis.
Q
They
cannot
plan

in
out

based
off
of

You
have

several
times
with

about
property
available
or

for
affordable

but
they're
outside

This
millage
increase
will
give
us
the
capital
needed
to
buy

outside

Council
I.
Thank
you
for
your
supporting
our
protected
populations
and
most
vulnerable
citizens
with
their
housing
needs
and
mayor
turn
it
back
to
you.
J
Thank
you.
Nicole
Council,
just
like
you
I,
hear
often
from
our
residents
about
the
conditions
of
our
streets,
about
how
children
and
seniors
throughout
Tampa
should
have
equal
access
to
Parks
and
Recreation
services
about
how,
where
you
live
in
Tampa
shouldn't,
determine
how
fast
First

get
to
you
in
an
emergency
and
about
how
families
are
worried
that
they're
being
priced
out
as
housing
costs
rise.
J
To
be
clear,
this
budget
is
not
going
to
address
all
of
our
gaps
or
our
growth
challenges,
but
without
additional
funding,
the
city
of
Tampa
will
struggle
to
move
forward
on
addressing
any
of
these
core
Services
outlined
today
or
in
our
Master
plans.
Without
additional
funding,
service
levels
will
remain
as
they
are,
while
demand
and
deferred
maintenance
increases.
J
B
N
N
Ahead,
thank
you
chair
good
morning,
Council
Dennis,
rojero,
Chief,
Financial
Officer,
and
thank
you
also
for
having
me
here
today,
following
on
the
mayor
and
her
administrators
for
the
recommended
fiscal
year,
24
recommended
or
the
recommended
fiscal
year,
24
budget
you
see
on
screen.
The
agenda
will
Begin
by
talking
and
expanding
on
that
one
mill
recommended
increase,
we'll
move
into
our
operating
and
capital
budgets,
as
we
always
do,
and
again,
as
we
always
do
an
overview
of
our
five-year
Capital
Improvement
and
debt
programs.
N
So
moving
into
an
expansion
of
that
one
mil
increase,
let
me
set
that
aside,
if
I
may
for
just
a
moment
and
give
you
an
idea
of
where
we're
at
right
now.
The
city
is
very
fortunate
in
many
respects.
Some
of
the
last
comments
the
Mayors
made
identified
some
of
our
strengths.
Economic
diversity,
which
is
what
you
want,
is
similar
to
an
investment.
N
You
want
to
hedge,
your
risks
in
this
area
in
this
area
in
this
area
and
we're
very
fortunate
that
we
can
do
that
with
all
of
our
various
revenues
you
see
on
screen
here,
a
taxable
value
increase
of
nearly
12
percent
I'll.
Take
that
every
single
year.
That's
that's
fantastic.
I,
remember
when
it
was
in
the
low
single
digits
once
that's
taken
into
account,
you
see
the
revenue
increase
of
just
about
35
million
dollars.
N
Once
the
community
redevelopment
agency
gets
their
portion
of
nearly
nine
million
dollars,
we
net
in
the
general
fund
a
little
over
26
million
dollars.
That's
very
very
good
and
I'm
not
going
to
say
it's
not,
but
the
bad
news
is
somewhat
twofold
and
you
see
here,
the
continuing
levels
of
service
will
leave
us
with
very
little
remaining
when
we're
talking
in
the
back
as
we
develop
this
budget
over
months
and
months
and
months,
the
continuing
levels
of
service
and
you've
probably
heard
us
refer
to
it.
N
As
such,
we
call
it
the
target
budget,
the
continuing
budget,
the
status
quo,
but
you
see
here
in
spite
of
the
revenue,
increases
outside
of
that
additional
Mill.
We
can
pretty
much
just
keep
up
with
what
we're
doing
now.
No
service
expansions-
and
you
see
The
Usual
Suspects
we've
talked
about
them
before
pay
benefits
and
pension
increases.
N
So
to
counter
that
these
pay
benefits
and
pension
increases
to
keep
up
with
inflation.
Those
are
going
to
continue
to
cost
us
in
fiscal
year,
24.
candidly
in
fiscal
year,
25
26
in
perpetuity.
They
are
recurring
expenses
inflationary
increases
to
deliver
Services.
You
see
that
we've
talked
about
it
before
you've
recently
seen
a
significant
financial
resolutions
that
come
before
you
doing
regular
Council
meetings
to
account
for
these
cost
increases,
including,
of
course,
property
and
liability
insurance
increases
I,
think
we're
part
of
the
big
Club.
N
N
So
we've
asked
for
a
one
mil
increase
and
The
Usual
Suspects.
Again,
we've
referred
to
them
as
the
four
Ps,
the
five
PS
pads
or
housing
Paving
or
Transportation,
Public,
Safety,
Parks
and
Recreation.
We
don't
have
a
p
for
vehicles,
but
it
it
goes
with
the
five
PS
and
I'll
get
into
a
little
more
detail
on
each
one
of
these.
N
Oops
there
we
go,
but
before
I
tell
you
what
that
one
mill
is
going
to
get
us,
please
let
me
go
into
a
little
bit
of
History
expand
on
a
little
bit
of
history
that
the
mayor
touched
upon.
This
is
from
1982
to
our
potential
and
recommended
millage
in
fiscal
year
of
2024..
You
hear
a
great
deal
of
talk.
I've
said
it
myself
many
times
when
we
increase
the
millage
in
2018
to
6.2076.
That
was
the
first
millage
increase
we'd
had
in
almost
30
years,
and
that's
true,
but
that's
only
part
of
the
story.
N
The
other
part
of
the
story
you
see
in
red
up
there
we
had
reduced
our
millage
twice
within
that
30-year
period
and
an
additional
homestead
exemption
of
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
was
tacked
on
at
each
and
every
one
of
those
spots
in
red
that
adversely
affected.
Of
course,
our
ability
to
bring
in
Revenue,
but
it
didn't
just
adversely
affect
our
ability
to
bring
in
revenue
and
potential
Revenue
in
that
year.
N
N
N
We've
got
a
lot
going
on.
We
do
a
great
many
things.
They've
got
a
lot
going
on.
They
do
a
great
many
things,
but
I
think
you'll,
agree
and
I
would
submit
to
you.
It
does
show
a
very
conservative,
millage
history
on
the
part
of
the
city
of
Tampa,
where
the
lowest
in
each
of
those
years
going
back
to
2017.
N
N
That's
significant
funding,
and
what
does
this
mean
for
our
portfolios
for
the
administrators
and
their
agencies?
That
came
up
to
speak
to
you?
Well
I'll.
Go
into
that
a
little
bit
right
now,
you
see
in
black
in
the
initial
year
gets
us
about
18
million
dollars
in
transportation
and
18
million
dollars
is
not
an
insignificant
amount
of
funding.
N
What
we've
provided
for
you
here
is
a
five-year
picture
to
correspond
with
our
Capital
Improvement
program
of
what
will
happen
if
we
continue
the
apportionment
more
or
less
each
year
for
the
next
five
years.
This
is
what
they'll
get
again,
not
insignificant,
but
and
transportation
I
think
is
an
excellent
example
not
going
to
move
the
needle.
The
numbers
were
so
big
that
Gene
shared
with
you
I've
already
forgotten
them,
because
we
can't
accommodate
that
need.
N
But
what
we
will
share
with
you
is
the
potential
and
you'll
you've
heard
this
word
before.
You're
going
to
hear
me
mention
it
again
leveraging
that
money
leveraging
that
millage
increase
similar
to
the
pipes
program
that
we've
implemented
and
and
I
would
suggest
to
you
and
I
think
it's
generally
considered
very,
very
successful.
N
Because
you
see
the
145
million
on
screen
are
grants
that
we
have
very
very
high
confidence
that
we're
going
to
get.
But
we
need
that
Grant
match
to
get
them.
You've
heard
Ms
Travis
talk
about
lost
opportunities
with
land
acquisition,
for
instance,
because
we
don't
have
the
revenue
available.
You
will
continue
to
hear
in
some
instances,
especially
especially
in
transportation,
about
missed
opportunities
in
federal
and
state
funding
for
transportation,
because
we
don't
have
a
dedicated
Revenue
Source.
Our
dedicated
revenue
revenue
source
is
basically
the
fuel
tax
for
transportation
and
it's
woefully
inadequate.
N
N
What
does
this
mean
for
Public
Safety,
again
a
little
under
10
million
dollars
in
the
fiscal
year?
We're
talking
about
fiscal
year
24
in
Black,
a
five-year
program
across
the
board?
You
see
there,
including
financing
and
cash
or
paygo,
and
again
these
are
one
of
the
Departments
woefully
behind
on
their
vehicle
replacement,
their
police
sedans.
N
So
what
can
we
do?
I
offer
you
an
example
here
again
over
a
five-year
period,
including
cash,
but
bonding
of
over
of
almost
124
million
dollars.
In
this
particular
scenario:
fire
station
infrastructure
and
fire
and
police
vehicles.
I
know
we've
got
weeks
of
discussion
ahead
of
us
and
if
and
as
priorities
change
again,
fire
and
police
vehicles
includes
any
number
of
police
sedans
fire
engines,
ambulances,
those
are
very,
very
expensive
assets.
We've
talked
again
and
again
at
other
meetings
about
the
needs
of
our
fire
station
infrastructure.
N
So
in
this
example
again
a
little
over
123
million
dollars
for
Public
Safety
purposes,
again,
I
I
think
that's
going
to
move
the
needle.
What
does
this
mean
for
parks
and
recreation?
You
see
here
in
the
current
year,
a
little
over
nine
or
the
Year.
We're
talking
about.
Excuse
me
a
little
over
nine
million
dollars
and
continuing
across
the
board
with
little
variation
insignificant
funding.
This
is
of
I'll
remind
you.
N
What
does
this
mean
for
housing?
A
little
over
10
million
dollars
in
additional
funding
for
housing?
You
heard
Ms
Travis
speak
to
this
a
little
bit,
but
you
also
heard
her
say
and
and
share
with
you,
the
not
only
the
needs
now,
but
the
extensive
needs
that
we're
going
to
need
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
We
are
anticipated
to
stay
a
fantastic
City
that
everybody
wants
to
come
to
and
that's
great.
B
N
Sir
and
I'm,
sorry,
if
I
didn't
make
that
clear,
all
of
these
are
additional
funding
scenarios.
N
N
So
it's
going
to
cost
money,
of
course,
and
what
we
have
for
you
over.
The
next
couple
of
slides
are
average
examples
of
homeowner
impact
associated
with
this
one
mil
increase,
we'll
start
right
here
you
see
the
averaged
assessed
value
in
the
city.
Citywide
is
just
a
little
just
a
little
over
two
hundred
eighty
one
thousand
dollars
once
the
homeowner
takes
advantage
of
again
those
two
Homestead
exemptions
of
fifty
thousand
dollars.
Their
taxable
value
is
a
little
over
231
000,
that's
the
value
of
their
property
from
there.
N
N
And
we'll
go
District
district.
Excuse
me
by
District
in
District
Four,
you
see
the
average
assessed
value
of
just
under
482
thousand
dollars
again.
Take
it
to
the
right
less
the
homestead
exemption
and
to
the
far
right,
you'll
see.
The
proposed
monthly
impact
is
one
cent
under
thirty
six
dollars.
So,
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
36
dollars.
N
N
That
concludes
my
portion
right
now
of
the
additional
millage
impact.
The
mayor
asked
that
we
expand
upon
that
over
and
above
the
presentation
that
she
and
the
administrators
made
now,
as
we
typically
do,
we'll
zoom
out
much
much
wider
to
the
budget
in
its
entirety.
N
And
here
it
is
1.9
a
little
over
1.9
billion
dollars.
This
is
just
over
a
three
percent
increase
from
the
current
year
fiscal
year
23.
and
at
the
risk
of
belaboring
some
things.
We've
already
talked
about
why
the
increase
primarily
service
cost
increases
associated
with
inflation,
whether
it's
higher
sell,
Sal
salaries.
Excuse
me,
healthier
health
care
costs,
pension
costs,
deferred
maintenance
and,
of
course,
the
increasing
contribution
to
the
community
redefeller
redevelopment
agencies.
N
The
Enterprise
fund
agencies
that
again,
we
always
talk
about
I,
will
remind
Council
and
the
viewing
public
that
these
are
the
agencies
that
are
anticipated
and
expected
to
run
like
a
business.
They
are
expected
to
make
a
profit
every
year
and
reinvest
those
profits
into
their
Enterprise.
Thus,
the
name
and
not
nearly
as
many
as
agencies.
As
you
see
on
the
left,
you
got
the
Wastewater
water
Solid
Waste
by
far
the
largest,
and
then
you
see,
the
parking
department
is
also
a
business,
as
are
the
golf
courses.
N
And
here
we
show
two
important
drivers
of
our
property
tax
revenue.
The
first,
of
course
on
the
right
is
just
a
little
under
388
million
dollars
in
anticipated
property
taxes
next
year,
with
nearly
60
million
dollars
of
that
going
to
the
community
redevelopment
agencies
and
on
the
left,
as
is
typical
and
as
as
I,
don't
I,
don't
anticipate
will
ever
change.
N
I
am
happy
to
share
this
next
file
as
or
this
next
slide,
as
I
have
been
for
the
last
few
years.
Our
general
fund
balance,
history
and
I
would
be
remiss
so
I'm
not
going
to
be
remiss.
Thank
you
Council
for
your
continuing
support
of
these
figures.
It
really
is
difficult
for
me
to
express
just
how
important
these
numbers
are.
N
As
always,
the
amount
increases
as
the
budget
increases
because,
as
the
budget
increases
in
order
to
maintain
that
ratio,
the
amount
of
money
we
have
to
set
aside
for
our
fund
balance
also
increases
I'll
remind
Council
and
the
viewing
public
that
our
policy
is
20.
You
see
that
in
red
I
should
really
put
that
in
green
I
suppose
and
that
that
continuing
increment
above
our
policy
is
great
news,
but
I
do
want
to
caution
against
thinking.
That's
money,
that's
free
to
spend
and
here's
why
our
policy
is
20.
N
We
consistently
come
in
above
that
and
that's
great,
but
as
the
market
looks
at
us
as
credit
rating
agencies,
look
at
us
honestly,
they
don't
pay
much
attention
to
our
policy.
They
pay
attention
to
our
history
and
our
history
for
lack
of
a
better
expression.
We
have
really
identified
a
sweet
spot
there
as
the
23
to
24
percent
outside
of
20
and
21,
which
were
the
pandemic
era.
Where
we
received
a
great
deal
of
federal
and
state
funding.
N
We've
got
a
well-planned
and
integrated
process
within
the
city.
It's
only
occurred
within
the
past
couple
of
years
and
I
think
you
see
the
results
of
that.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
nearly
140
million
awarded,
and
not
only
is
it
well
integrated,
well
thought
out,
but
it's
very
ambitious
by
the
time
this
fiscal
year
is
out.
We
will
have
applied
for
230
million
dollars
and
it's
paying
off
and,
of
course,
the
caveat
is
and
I
as
I
always
like
to
remind
everybody
we're
going
to
apply
for
230
million
dollars.
N
And
into
the
capital
Improvement
program
again
a
five-year
program,
we
have
fiscal
year,
24
the
Year
we're
talking
about
now,
and
the
entirety
of
the
five
years
summed
on
the
far
right,
just
a
little
under
1.7
billion
dollars.
As
you
look
through
the
capital
Improvement
program,
you
will
see
it's
very
consistent
with
our
current
capital.
Improvement
program
potential
funding
scenarios-
I
shared
with
you
earlier-
are
not
in
this.
It
takes
our
Capital
Improvement
program
right
now
and
continues
to
implement
the
plan.
N
N
N
Clickers
there
we
are,
and
through
to
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
the
solid
waste
and
environmental
program
management
department,
there's
a
mouthful
the
waste
energy
facility
at
the
very
bottom.
Again,
we've
talked
about
that.
We'll
talk
about
it
again,
the
East
Tampa
recreational
complex
at
the
top,
the
first
bullet
there
again
more
discussion
coming
with
that
and
I
will
share
with
you
in
the
depth
section
some
of
our
planned
debt
issuances
associated
with
these
projects.
N
N
And
moving
into
I
I
won't
read
from
the
slide,
but
moving
into
the
major
fiscal
year
24
and
on
projects
within
each
district.
Pardon
me,
you
see
the
maps
to
the
right,
you'll
find
these
interact,
interactive
maps
in
the
open,
gov
program
online
and
there's
both
a
link
at
the
end
of
this
program.
Any
link
provided
on
the
city's
main
webpage.
N
N
These
occur
in
all
the
districts
because
this
is
where
water
Wastewater
storm
water
and
Mobility
come
together
to
do
a
large
project
within
the
neighborhood,
coordinated
and
relatively
at
the
same
time.
So
Department
a
doesn't
come
in
tear
up
the
road
and
make
it
good
and
then
Department
B
A
year
later
comes
in
and
tears
up
the
road
for
something
else.
As
you
all
are
probably
aware,
we
have
experienced
that
in
the
past,
so
you'll
see
these
on
each
slide,
with
the
particular
neighborhood
being
affected.
N
Excuse
me
more
of
the
same
and
again
more
fire
station
work
and
oh
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
mention
the
Sulfur
Springs
parks,
improvements
and
wellswood
church
also
and
in
District
Seven
again,
the
neighborhood
infrastructure
projects,
fire
station
number
13
and
the
Forest
Hills
storm
water
pumping
station.
These
are
just
the
major
projects.
N
N
But
before
I
do
that
again,
you've
seen
this
many
times
before
you
saw
it
recently
in
the
mayor's
presentation,
but
I
would
like
to
point
out.
It
varies
a
little
bit
from
last
year's
and
I
have
the
privilege
of
sharing
with
you
that
we
have
been
upgraded
once
again,
and
you
see
that
double
A1
in
green
and
underlined
in
January
Moody's
upgraded
our
non-advalorem
revenue
bonds
to
the
second
highest.
You
can
attain
congratulations.
That
is
due
to
your
efforts,
the
mayor's
efforts,
our
efforts
and
when
I
say
our
it's
city-wide.
N
N
You
see
at
the
top
there,
as
I've
pointed
out
before
the
issuer
credit
rating.
This
is
basically
our
personal
credit
score.
Our
FICO
score
on
the
far
right.
You
see
s
p,
standard
and
Poor's
has
given
us
the
highest
rating
possible
and
that's
AAA,
Fitch
and
Moody's.
The
other
two
have
given
us
the
second
highest
possible,
so
we
are
in
very,
very
good
shape,
and
these
ratings,
as
I've
said
before,
go
hand
in
hand
with
all
these
big
projects.
N
N
Conservative
I
do
always
like
to
remind
Council
and
the
viewing
public
that,
unlike
probably
most
other
City
organizations,
we
are
scrutinized
six
ways
to
Sunday,
whether
it's
by
outside
independent
CPAs,
whether
it's
by
these
three
credit
rating
agencies
that
you
see
and
they're
all
frequently
reviewed
and
rated,
do
they
do
what
they
call
due
diligence.
They'll
come
in,
they
come
in
every
year.
N
We
gave
you
this
rating,
it
is
great,
is
it
still
worthy
of
being
great
and
so
far
they
are
foreign
as
I
brag
on
these
and
congratulate
you,
I
like
to
say
both
out
in
the
public
and
to
city
council.
My
opinion,
the
public
and
Council
and
the
mayor
should
expect
nothing
less
than
these
fantastic
ratings.
The
city
does
a
very,
very
good
job,
so
congratulations.
N
And
our
principal
outstanding
debt,
you
can
see
our
debt
is
on
a
decline
in
the
years.
That's
a
very
good
profile,
last
payment
right
now
in
fiscal
year,
57..
As
always,
the
blue
line
is
our
governmental
debt,
which
is
separate,
and
apart
from
our
Enterprise
debt,
those
Enterprise
agencies,
water,
Wastewater
Etc-
they
truly
are
run
like
their
own
business
and
their
debt
is
their
own.
We
do
not
have
an
obligation
for
that.
N
Should
city
council
decide
to
issue
additional
debt
and
we'll
we
will
bring
you
those
opportunities
over
the
next
six
months
to
a
year,
then
we
will
change
this
debt
profile.
This
is
the
debt
profile
right
now,
but
we
like
this
profile.
We
always
try
to
plan
for
this
profile
and
I,
have
I,
have
no
impression
that
whatever
we
decide
to
do,
our
general
profile
will
not
change
in
terms
of
its
trend.
N
And
is,
and
as
in
the
previous
slide,
green
bars
are
the
Enterprise
funds
and
the
blue
are
governmental.
You
can
see
again
that
our
last
Debt
Service
payment
right
now
is
in
2057.
nice,
smooth,
decreasing
payments.
I
always
like
to
brag
no
surprises
for
any
forthcoming
councils
for
any
forthcoming
mayors.
N
So
that's
where
we
are
right
now
again,
as
we
always
do
we'll
share
with
you,
where
we
think
we're
going.
This
is
the
general
government
debt
issuance.
This
will
in
all
likelihood
end
in
a
non-advolarum
bond
issuance,
as
we
just
discussed
about
170
million
dollars
is
what
we
plan
for
these
projects.
You
see
right
here.
They
closely
mimic
the
projects
that
we
shared
with
you
that
our
plan
was
last
year
when
I
give
this
presentation
with
the
additions
of
the
three
last
bullets
on
the
right,
Parks
master
plan
projects.
N
N
Solid
Waste
again
a
significant
issuance.
We've
talked
about
this
before
any
number
of
projects
under
that
debt
issuance
umbrella,
the
waste
to
energy
program
or
the
waste
to
energy
facility
program
we've
talked
about.
We
have
recently
found
the
property
adjacent
to
the
solid
waste
location
at
34th
Street,
what
they
call
the
Cemex
property.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
purchase
that
property
across
the
street
for
four
million
dollars.
N
The
extensive
relocation
of
the
solid
waste
headquarters
again
from
Spruce
Street
out
to
the
main
facility
that
we've
talked
about
in
the
past,
freeing
up
that
land
for
any
number
of
purposes
and
then
Brownfield
remediation
again.
The
reimbursement
resolution
is
ready
for
most
of
the
projects,
in
fact,
I
think
the
only
one
it's
not
is
that
recent
opportune
opportunity
with
the
Cemex
property.
N
N
As
you,
as
you
know,
we've
outsourced
that
rate
study
to
an
organization
that
specializes
in
this
type
of
thing,
and
it's
it's
really
the
first
piece
of
that
puddle
puzzle,
because
that
will
Define
as
the
name
implies
what
is
feasible
to
do
in
the
feasibility
report.
What
can
we
do
with
these
rates?
What
can
we
do
with
these
rates,
and
what
do
we
anticipate?
The
political
and
public
appetite
will
be
for
those
rate
increases,
so
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
things
going
on
behind
the
scenes
associated
with
solid
waste
and
their
anticipated.
That.
N
And
finally,
storm
water,
another
big
success
story,
I
feel
I
feel
sorry
for
stormwater,
sometimes
because
when
we
initially
embarked
on
this
program
it
was
big
and
then
the
pipes
program
came
in
and
now
it
pales
in
comparison,
but
it
has
been
very
successful
right
from
the
get-go.
So
my
compliments
to
that
team
and
we
still
have
about
36
million
dollars
more
to
go.
We
have
the
reimbursement
resolutions
adopted
already
by
Council
and
we
anticipate
again
later
on
this
year,
coming
before
you
for
those
projects.
N
N
Excuse
the
user
error
on
show
its
user
error
there.
We
are
as
I
wrapped
up
as
I
wrap
up
the
presentation.
I
will
share
with
you
again
that
this
budget
is
once
again
presented
on
open
with
opengov
on
the
internet.
We
continuously
upgrade
this
platform.
We
just
upgraded
upgraded
it
excuse
me,
we
are
very
impressed
with
it
and
hopefully
more
and
more
people
will
be
impressed
with
it.
As
time
goes
by.
N
You
see
the
significant
user
enhancements
that
we've
implemented
navigation
is
much
easier,
accessibility,
transparency
we
have
also,
as
Council
motion
and
I,
believe,
a
priority
for
councilwoman
her
attack.
We
also
have
the
PDF
copy
we'll
make
available
on
the
city
website,
with
the
exception
and
I
apologize
for
that
of
the
Capital
Improvements
program
right
now.
The
CIP
is
just
too
extensive
to
lend
itself
to
Printing
and
PDF,
but
we'll
continue
to
work
on
that
and
I
am
the
first
to
admit.
It
took
me
quite
some
time
to
acclimate
from
the
hard
copy
book.
N
I
did
a
I
did
a
budget
book
for
20
years,
but
I
was
compelled
to
acclimate,
so
I
did
so.
Hopefully,
you
all
find
the
the
transition
less
less
traumatized
missing,
but
it's
it's
a
it's
a
fantastic
product.
It
allows
us
to
continue
to
improve
our
performance
metrics,
not
only
not
only
when
it
comes
to
the
finances,
but
across
the
city.
N
I
will
remind
Council,
of
course,
and
the
viewing
public
we
are
a
major
American
city,
49th,
50th
largest,
the
budget
is
complex.
It's
very
large,
it's
very
complex.
N
We
appreciate
your
patience
as
you
navigate
through
it,
whether
it's
on
the
Internet
or
in
book
format,
and
that's
why
we're
here?
Please
let
us
help
you.
We
offer
training
on
the
open,
gov
platform
and
I've
said
it
before
I'll,
say
it
again:
you're
our
customers.
Let
us
know
how
we
can
help
guide
you
through
this.
Admittedly
large
and
complex
budget.
N
Can
you
put
that
back
on?
Please
go
here.
We
go
I'm,
sorry
there
you
are
yeah
you're,
very
welcome
and,
as
I
close
this
presentation
again.
Thank
you
for
your
patience.
I
know
some
of
this
is
riveting,
but
it's
all
very,
very
interesting
to
us.
I
will
remind
you,
know:
I'm
I'm,
very
positive,
I'm
I'm
positive
by
Nature,
but
as
I've
also
shared
with
you
that
the
city
of
Tampa
I
think
has
every
reason
to
be
positive.
We
we
are
in
a
position
that
is
the
Envy
of
so
many
other
localities
from
a
financial
perspective.
N
You
know,
as
we've
discussed,
we've
briefed
all
of
you
either
this
week
or
last
week
from
a
service
delivery
perspective
and
I
would
submit
to
you
from
a
customer
expectation
from
a
taxpayer
expectation
perspective.
We
are
not
meeting
our
our
delivery,
metrics
we've
all
heard
about
it,
Transportation,
etc,
etc,
but
I
remain
very
positive,
but
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
share
with
you
and
I'm
sure
you
already
know.
We
continue
to
be
in
a
very
challenging
Financial
environment
I
forget
which
rating
agency
it
was,
but
they
just
the
second
one.
N
N
Yes,
we
do.
Yes,
we
do
so.
You
know
whether
it's
inflation,
global
national,
local
Etc.
We
are
on
Solid
Ground
and
we're
very
fortunate.
In
my
opinion,
we
as
we've
as
we've
discussed.
We
want
to
take
that
next
step.
We
want
to
move
the
needle,
but
regardless
how
it
turns
out
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
a
couple
of
weeks,
I,
truly
appreciate,
y'all's
efforts
and
willingness
to
listen.
You
all
have
a
big
burden
and
a
big
privilege
I
think
we
all
do
so.
N
C
M
I
have
a
whole
bunch
of
clarifying
questions,
but
I
I
want
to
ask
one
in
particular
and
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
coming
here
in
person
and
doing
this
Mr
O'hara
on
page
page
four,
it
says:
11.7
percent
increase
every
way.
I
divided
I
get
16
or
17
percent.
M
If
you,
if
you
go,
if
you
use
the
rollback
rate,
what
is
the
rollback
rate
this
year?
Do
we
know
I.
M
I
think
last
year
was
like
5.9.
So
if
it's,
if
it's
something
like
that,
then
it's
closer
to
17.
But
if
you
just
take
one
divided
by
6.2,
you
get
somewhere
around
16.
But
if
you
take,
if
you
take
7.1
divided
by
7.2,
you
still
get
13
or
14
yeah.
N
You're
absolutely
right,
sir.
The
increase
in
the
millage
from
the
6.2
ish
to
the
7.2
ish
is
about
16.
The
11.7
percent
was
our
increase
in
taxable
value.
How
much
our
property,
our
taxable
property
in
the
city,
appreciated
between
last
fiscal
year
and
this
fiscal
year,
and
that
that
increment
or
that
Delta
is
what
drives
the
additional
funding
in
the
absence
of
a
millage
increase.
So.
M
M
Can
I
can
we
do
that
now?
Can
I
just
hit
with
with
two
other
quick
clarifying
questions?
Page
eight
I
have
a
whole
bunch
of
questions,
but
I'll
just
try
to
keep
it
short
and
ask
them
later.
As
I
read,
this
Miami
is
up
around
7.2,
so
when
we,
when
we
increase,
if
we
increase
to
7.2,
then
we'll
be
among
the
highest
of
our
peers
right.
N
M
We're
much
lower
now,
but
we're
going
to
be
on
par,
and
that
means
we'll
be
ahead
of
Orlando
and
Saint
Pete,
yes,
sir
correct
and
then
on
on
the
debt
Pages
41
and
42
I
really
would
like
to
see
the
slides
going
back
to
2010.
M
M
Also
in
the
solid
waste
area,
you
talked
about
a
line
of
credit.
We
that's
the
first
I
had
heard
of
that,
but
you
and
I
had
talked
about
the
fund
balance
going
down
because
the
deficit
this
year
I
think
we
need
to
talk
about
that
at
some
point
as
well
also
I
always
say
the
F.
Thank
you
all.
Thank
you
to
the
mayor
and
you
for
focusing
on
fund
balance.
I
think
we
ought
to
go
back
to
2010
on
that
also,
so
that
we
can
see
the
comparison.
M
The
good
thing
is
that
I
think
that's
page
27.
we
are
under
pamayorio's
Administration,
it
was
the
fund.
Balance
was
about
150
million,
and
it
looks
like
this
year
we'll
be
back
to
2010.
Isn't
that
correct,
it'll.
M
So
she
saved
that
much
in
by
2010,
that's
after
the
Great
Recession
ended
in
2009
and
so
now,
13
years
later,
we'll
almost
be
back
to
what
she
saved
during
that
time.
So
again,
congratulations
to
everybody
and
thank
you
for
that.
N
And
I'm,
sorry,
just
to
clarify
sir,
so
we'll
take
we'll
offer
you
a
fun
balance
chart
to
from
2010
to
fiscal
year.
24.
yeah,
I,
think
I.
Think
yeah.
M
If
you
net
out
the
increase,
the
11.7
increase
in
in
tax
rates
we're
only
getting
about
26
million
for
this
new
tax.
If
I,
if
my
numbers
are
correct,
because
eight
an
additional
8.6
is
going
in
the
cras
and
we're
stuck
because
the
public
in
the
cre
districts
doesn't
want
us
to
spend
on
infrastructure,
the
city
would
have
spent,
but
at
the
same
time,
then
we
can't
spend
it
in
the
rest
of
the
city
and
that
8.6
million
could
be
very
valuable
in
the
in
the
general
fund.
N
It
and
again
full
transparency
I,
want
to
make
sure
I'm
clarifying
between
two
particular
increases.
In
Revenue
we
have
the
increase
in
Revenue
associated
with
the
increase
in
taxable
value.
That's
about
26
million.
The
community
redevelopment
agency
will
get
about
eight
or
nine
million
from
that
yeah.
M
Just
to
clarify
on
page
nine
you're
you're,
including
the
that
53
million,
includes
the
11
increase
in
taxable
value
right,
so
the
net
of
that
it's
on
another
page
I
think.
But
the
net
of
that
is
only
like.
M
N
Again,
yes,
if,
if
I
can
clarify,
we
can
provide
a
slide
that
identifies
both
when
we're
talking
about
Millers
we're
talking.
Two
primary
Revenue
increases
the
increase
associated
with
the
taxable
value,
that's
the
26
million
and
then,
as
you
said,
councilman
on
slide
number
nine.
This
46
million
is
over
and
above
that
this
is
this.
Is
revenue
confined
solely
to
that
one
mill
and.
M
Then,
when
you,
when
you
map
out
all
these
extra
expenditures
by
the
way,
thank
you
to
the
administration
for
listening
to
City
council's
priorities,
which
we
got
from
the
committee
that
those
that
priority
list
is
exactly
what
we
city
council
has
been
asking
for
for
years.
So
they
were
spot
on
on
that.
But
as
you
as
you
look
at
the
expenditures
on
all
these
things,
that
that
we
in
the
community
want
does
all
do
all
these
numbers,
though,
include
that
that
11
increase
in
taxable
value
or
is
it
just?
N
Includes
just
the
45
million
and
and
if
I
can,
if
I
can
back
up
briefly
and
again,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
feedback,
especially
if
we're
going
to
have
a
workshop
that
we
that
way,
we
can
be
prepared
to
clarify
some
of
these
issues,
but
you've
got
the
26
million
dollars
associated
with
the
taxable
value
and
the
CRA
gets
eight
of
that.
And
then
you
see
on
page
nine,
you
have
the
46
million
associated
with
the
one
mill
and
the
CRA
gets
eight
of
that
they
we
anticipate,
they
would
receive
an
additional
16
million
scenario.
N
Yes,
so
I
want
to
make
that
clear,
because
by
coincidence
they
both
end
up
being
very,
very
similar.
F
Thank
you.
Yes,
one
I
also
want
to
applaud
the
mayor
for
coming
today
and
presenting
and
presenting
a
proposed
budget
that
is
very
reflective
of
one.
F
F
These
things
seem
so
overwhelming
that
you
know
it's
like:
there's
no
fix
to
it,
but
you
know
somebody's
got
to
do
the
non-sexy
things,
and
some
of
this
stuff
is
not
sexy,
and
it's
not
some
things
that
some
of
this
deferred
maintenance
is
not
something
that
you
can
put
on
a
campaign
flyer
and
run
for
re-election
on
just
like
the
Bold
project
that
the
performer
Council
and
the
mayor
did
with
pipes.
You
know
again
not
a
sexy
thing,
but
a
need
for
the
city
and
the
need
for
the
community.
F
It's
something
that
I
think
we're
doing
very
well
for
the
for
not
just
the
current
residents
of
the
city,
but
the
people
that
are
going
to
be
coming
here
and
my
kids
and
my
grandkids
so
I
applaud.
I
applaud
the
city
for
coming
forward
with
all
of
these
maintenance
items.
I
think
that
people,
the
people
who
live
in
the
city
of
Tampa
have
to
really
understand
that
one
of
our
fire
stations
are
in
dire
need
of
Rehabilitation
that
they
are,
they
are
crumbling
in
in
areas
I
mean
I.
F
Think
people
would
be
shocked
to
see
some
of
the
conditions.
As
the
Deferred
maintenance
in
these
fire
stations,
I
think
people
would
be
shocked
to
find
out
that,
because
of
you
know
various
things
that
have
happened
with
the
Great
Recession
and
forth,
that
our
police
officers
driving
in
cars-
that
are,
you
know,
we'd
normally
replace
them
every
seven
years,
but
we're
now
we're
they're,
14
years
old
and
I.
Don't
I,
don't
know
how
many
people
hold
on
to
cars
for
14
years
old
in
normal
driving
conditions,
but
I
guarantee.
F
They
probably
don't
think
that
our
police
officers
are
doing
that
and
then
the
cost
of
Maintenance,
because
we're
doing
things
like
that
fire
trucks,
I
I,
think
the
chief
did
a
good
job
of
talking
about
what
our
problems
with
the
acquiring
fire
trucks
and
making
sure
that
we
have
those
in
emergency
services.
F
I
really
want
to
I
didn't
hear,
but
I
want
to
make
sure,
as
we
bring
it
to
the
budget
to
the
workshop
AVL
and
c
and
CAD
for
the
fire
truck
Department
to
make
sure
that
that
is
something
that
we
are
funding
and
that
we're
bringing
that
forward.
I.
Think
it's
really
important
too.
For
for
our
First
Responders
and
to
our
citizens
that
we
that
technology
is
available
to
our
fire
department,
I
understand
also
the
police
chief
I
am
so
happy
to
hear
about
his
his
full
support.
F
It's
one
of
the
first
meetings
I
had
with
him
was
on
the
Police.
Athletic
lead,
I,
think
that
is
a
really
important
thing
for
the
city
to
be
doing
it's
it's
it's
it's
a
hand
up
and
it's
it's
an
ability
to
to
reach
out
to
the
community
and
provide
something
for
the
Youth
and
I
applaud
him
for
taking
leadership
in
that
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
supporting
that
type
of
initiative.
So
thank
you
so
much
192
Parks,
we
own
a
lot
of
property
and
we
have
not
been
maintaining
that
property.
F
You
know
so
you
know
we
I
think
people
when
they
see
some
of
the
bells
and
whistles
of
some
of
the
new
infrastructure
they've
built.
They
don't
realize
one
how
it
got
built
and
what
what
money
it
got
built
from.
So
they
you
know
it's.
It's
not.
You
know
like
Julian,
B
Lane
is
an
example.
You
know
a
lot
of
that
came
from
that
BP
Oil
money,
it
wasn't,
it
didn't
come
from
us.
It
was
other
people's
money
right,
but
there's
a
lot
of
parks
in
our
neighborhoods
that
nobody's
touched
in
years.
F
There's
broken
picnic,
tables,
there's
or
there's
no
picnic
tables
at
all,
there's
no
benches
at
all.
There's
no
there's!
No
nothing!
But
you
know
these
are
Little
Gems
that
we
can
bring
communities
together
if
we
improve
them.
So
I
think
that
it's
something
that
we
as
a
community
I
think
our
citizens
expect
us
to
be
able
to
do
that.
And
you
know
if
you
own
property
in
your
own
personal
life.
You
know
you
have
to
maintain
what
you
currently
have
and
we
are
woefully
behind.
F
Thank
you
all
for,
and
all
of
the
staff
for
bringing
this
forward
and
I
think
we
have
some
room
to
talk
about
how
we
shift
stuff
streetcar,
how
we
shift
funding
in
in
this
in
this
scenario,
but
you
know
I,
think
that
can
be
done
in
workshop
and
as
we
as
we
push
forward
through
this.
As
we
make
sure
these
projects
move
forward,
I,
look
forward
to
implementing
I,
look
forward
to
working
with
Council
to
get
a
good
to
get
a
good
budget
forward
and
and
really
do
well
for
the
citizens
of
Tampa.
D
And
I
won't
I
have
I,
took
a
lot
of
notes
and
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
all
of
them,
but
I
I
do
have
some
initial
Impressions
and
I
explained
those
to
the
administration
still
still
have
those
very
very
strongly
a
question.
Mr
rohero
I
wanted
to
make
sure
if
I
recall
from
this
tax
increase.
20
goes
to
Public.
Safety
am.
A
D
Okay,
yeah
so
20,
21,
Etc,
yes,
so
I
mean
I,
think
it's
incumbent
in
all
of
us,
as
council
members
and
as
representatives
of
the
community,
to
speak
to
the
community
and
the
different
issues
that
are
here
like
I
said
yesterday.
Not
everything
is
black
and
white.
There's
a
lot
of
gray
in
this
budget
obviously
has
a
lot
of
gray
there's
a
lot
of
good
things,
but
there's
always
offsets.
Nothing
is
free.
D
One
of
the
things
that
I
looked
up
during
this
budget
presentation
is
millage
rates
in
other
cities.
Take
a
look
at
a
lot
of
South
Florida
municipalities,
they're
in
that
seven
level,
and
it's
councilman
Carlson,
pointed
out
we'll
be
reaching
up
to
that
level.
D
We
have
to
be
very
judicious
inflation
right
now,
with
7.3
percent
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Area
double
more
than
double
what
the
national
rate
is
so
again,
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
good
talk
with
the
public
on
that
great
I've
said
many
many
times
before
in
the
past,
I
support
a
millage
upward
rate
adjustment
for
Public
Safety
I
do
I
think
that's
very,
very
important
from
what
I
see
in
this
budget
budget
there's
a
lot
of
upgrades
to
facilities,
particularly
with
Tampa
Fire,
30,
new
police
officers.
D
That's
wonderful,
I,
don't
see
in
year,
one
anything
for
a
new
station,
particularly
for
downtown
Tampa,
something
that
I
think
Council
has
spoken
about
many
many
times.
That's
part
of
what
we
talk
about
in
having
a
public
safety
master
plan.
So
again,
there
is
a
lot
to
work
out
there.
There
is
a
lot
to
work
out
there.
I
do
support
an
upward
millage
adjustment,
particularly
for
Public
Safety
I've,
come
out
before
for
transportation
in
2016,
2018
2022.
D
So
that's
not
a
reasonable
dialogue
to
have,
but
I
think
we
have
a
lot
to
talk
about,
especially
with
the
public
on
these
new
obligations
that
we're
going
to
be
taking
on
again
a
lot
of
blood.
There's
not
a
lot
of
black
and
white
things
in
life,
particularly
in
politics.
There's
a
lot
of
gray
here
so
I
think
that
we
have
to
talk
about
that,
but
again
that
level
of
21
on
Public,
Safety
I,
think
is
something
that
this
Council
should
certainly
look
at
that,
particularly
given
our
very
acute
police
and
fire
needs.
D
I
think
that's
something!
That's
very
important!
I
think
the
public
supports
paying
a
reasonable
amount
more
for
Public,
Safety
they've
talked
about
it
more
for
transportation
and
other
issues,
I've
spoken
more
about
parks
and
additional
Revenue,
in
my
belief
that
we
shouldn't
be
asking
for
additional
revenue
for
parks.
That
being
said,
I'm
one
of
seven
and
there's
compromise
in
here,
and
that's
how
good
legislation
and
good
budgets
get
done,
but
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
very
vigorous
discussion
on
that
and
so
I'll
shut
up
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
R
Councilman,
thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you.
Well,
if
he's
one
of
seven
I'm,
two
of
seven
but
anyway,
what
I'm
saying
is
this
when,
when
you
look
at
the
future-
and
you
look
at
what
you're
doing
try
to
accomplish,
there's
some
things
that
come
to
mind,
the
future
is
that
somewhere
along
the
line
yourself
or
chief
of
staff
or
the
mayor
with
a
council
going.
A
R
Have
to
figure
out
where
you're
going
to
get
the
monies,
when
you
don't
have
any
gas
tax
decreasing,
because
the
electric
cars
are
going
to
come
in
what?
What
is
the
other
governments
doing
to
get
make
sure
that
the
electric
cars
pay
their
fair
share
of
using
the
roads
and
giving
part
of
that
money
to
the
city
and
number
one
number,
two,
the
CIT
tax,
the
last
bite
is
2026,
but
we
have
that'll
figure
now
to
that
at
the
end
of
2026
there
is,
there
was
Zero
coming
in.
R
So
that's
another
thing
that
you
use
for
money
for
infrastructure
when
you
come
around
and
you
look
at
sustainability.
This
city
has
the
the
area
where
you
can
really
turn
things
around.
If
you
get
some
money
from
not
only
the
FED
but
other
monies
to
make
sure
that
every
every
drop
of
water
that
we
have
in
the
canals
are
a
sustainable
for
the
future,
including
those
that
you
have
in
the
reservoir
that
holds
1.2
billion
gallons
of
water.
R
By
putting
solar
on
top
of
those
areas
and
the
canals
you
solve,
two
problems:
first,
a
decrease
of
10
percent
of
loss
of
water
to
evaporation;
and,
secondly,
you
gain
the
sustainability
for
the
future
of
the
world
and
I
heard
me
right
when
I
say
the
world:
it's
not
about
Tampa,
it's
been
the
hottest
July
in
the
world,
not
only
in
Tampa.
It's
been
the
warmest
in.
R
Only
in
Key
West
with
a
water
degree,
there
was
100
degrees.
We
must
prepare
for
tomorrow,
because
today's
thinking
is
not
going
to
make
success
in
the
future.
That's
number
two
and
number
three
I
agree
with
everything
the
council
members
have
said
and
if
I
read
this
right,
the
property
tax
collectors,
387
versus
the
police
and
fire
expenses
of
357.,
that's
the
first
time
I've
seen
the
property
tax
collection
of
the
city
be
greater.
R
Then
the
expenses
of
the
fire
and
police
department
combined
I
believe
last
year
it
was
20
some
million
dollars.
The
other
way
around.
We
are
making
some
Headway
to
make
sure
that
the
public
is
protected.
People
don't
come
here
because
they're
like
you
or
me,
or
anyone
else
here
they
come
for
Education.
You
have
that.
Yes,
we
do.
They
come
for
security
from
a
great
Police
Department.
Yes,
we
do.
They
come
for
safety
when
you're
in
a
home,
and
you
call
that
9-1-1
and
the
fire
department
shows
up
that.
Sick
person
feels
100
better.
R
Just
looking
at
the
people
coming
in
to
take
care
of
that
person,
so
they've
made
under
Army
of
800.
Some
thousand
calls
or
88
000
calls
if
I
recall,
and
those
are
the
things
that
we
offer
as
service
everything
costs
more.
What
I'd
like
to
see
from
2010,
as
it
was
mentioned
before,
what
was
the
cost
of
something
in
2010
doing
business
with
the
city?
What
is
it
today?
So
if
the
public
can
get
a
real
fine
idea
of
what
it
costs
to
run
a
government?
Yes,
price
of
eggs,
have
gone
up.
R
R
When
I
read
this
87
to
57
I
said
my
God.
This
is
the
first
time
and
ever
if
it's
factor
I
assume
it
is
that
the
property
taxes
are
more
than
it
costs
to
run
the
police
and
fire.
But
thank
you
very
much
and
we'll
make
a
decision
here,
I'd
like
to
have
it
when
it
finished,
I'd
like
to
make
a
a
request
for
a
special
call
meeting
on
August
the
15th
at
501.
C
I
C
H
Just
just
for
clarification,
councilman
Miranda,
that
is
a
special
call.
Workshop,
is.
C
C
I
Yes,
start
by
looking
at
the
Mill
College
rate
comparison
when
we
talked
about
Tampa
and
Orlando
and
Saint
Pete
and
Miami
Miami
does
have
the
highest,
and
this
would
bring
us
toward
Miami.
The
one
thing
we
aren't
considering
is
that
most
of
those
other
Counties
have
a
transportation
tax
that
we.
I
Penny
for
Pinellas
they're
able
to
fund
their
transportation
needs
and
we
simply
aren't,
and
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
create
we,
the
county
is
not
going
to
do
it.
So
when
we
consider
it
yes,
we
have.
We
are
going
to
have
a
millage
increase
close
to
those,
but
those
folks
are
going
to
have
taxes
above
that
they
are
paying
toward
transportation,
that
we
simply
aren't.
I
Unfortunately,
that
also
enables
visitors
to
pay
that
tax,
but
again
that
that's
out
of
our
hands
we
just
so
the
public
knows
we
aren't
allowed
to
make
those
those
increases.
Those
have
to
go
through
the
county,
so
we
aren't
allowed
to
create
attacks
for
ourselves
for
transportation.
So
this
is
our
tax
for
ourselves
for
transportation
to
go
further.
Looking
at
Transportation,
certainly
during
that
Workshop
I
do
want
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
we're.
I
Looking
at
putting
39
of
this
Mill
increase
into
Transportation,
which
would
be
Paving
and
street
car
expansion,
possibly
and
I
would
love
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
I
Public
Safety,
I
think's
been
covered
for
now.
Obviously,
Parks
and
Rec
wouldn't
want
to
hear
more
on,
but
the
one
thing
that
nobody's
talked
about
that
of
course
I
want
to
bring
up,
is
housing
and
20
for
housing.
What
I
would
like
for
that
department
for
Miss
Travis
and
her
Department
to
bring
back?
We
had
that
really
beautiful
graphic
and
I.
Don't
have
it
in
my
budgets
this
time
showing
the
different
buckets
that
money
would
go
into
so
I
think
the
public
would
like
to
see.
I
What's
the
total
amount
we
could
put
toward
housing
and
the
really
important
thing
that
she
hit
on
that
I
want
to
talk
about.
Even
more
is
the
fact
that
if
we
have
a
dedicated
funding
source
like
this,
we
really
can
go
after
that
those
dollars.
She
told
me
recently
in
the
last
couple
of
days
that
there
were
two
motels
that
we
could
have
bought.
We
just
didn't
have
the
money
yeah
I
mean
that
is
that's
immediate
housing,
then
those
are
large
Parcels
that
we
could
turn
into
multi-family
housing.
I
Missed
opportunities
and
so
like
when
you
talk
about
that
semx
plan
that
I
was
immediately
interested
because
one
of
the
things
the
public
keeps
talking
to
me
about
is
that
waste
an
energy
facility,
it's
great,
that
we're
renovating
it.
But
what
happens
when
we
have
more
people
as
we
expand,
because
we're
going
to
be
at
capacity?
How
do
we
expand
that
capacity
and
I
have
to
tell
the
public
we
just
don't
have
any
more
there's
not
in
any
space
that
semx
plant
could
help
with
the
possibility
of
space
further
down
the
road.
I
So
the
ability?
Not
only
do
we
have
this
great
buffer,
that
that
we've
talked
about
we're
going
to
have
150
million
that
we
just
have
sitting
in
the
bank
that
help
us.
You
know,
borrow
money,
but
we
we
need
the
money
for
those
missed
opportunities,
because
that's
the
one
thing
that
the
city
of
Tampa
we
are
hemmed
in.
We
have
nowhere
to
grow,
we
have
water
or
we
have
the
county
we
and
we're
not
annexing.
So
where
do
we
go
once
our
land
is
gone?
I
It's
gone
so
anything
we
can
do
to
to
buy
land
or
to
reutilize
the
land
we
have
is
so
critical.
So
that
is
my
favorite
part
of
this
budget.
I
The
ability
to
look
forward
and
I
do
again
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
her
Administration
for
coming
and
presenting
such
a
bold
vision
for
the
city.
I
I
greatly
appreciate
it.
I
think.
The
presentation
today
was
very
clear.
There's
a
lot
of
questions
and
I
can
hear
it
already,
obviously
from
just
us
so
I
know,
the
public
will
have
that
as
well
and
I
want
to
thank
you,
Mr
rohero,
for
putting
for
working
hard
to
get
that
PDF
available
of
the
general
fund
money,
which
is
about
60.
H
I
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that,
because
that's
the
area
of
the
budget
that
is
really
malleable
for
us,
that's
where
we
can
move
money
around
the
best
other,
the
other
other
money
is
pretty
much
spoken
for
so
in
a
1.9
billion
dollar
budget.
It's
really
640
million
that
we
really
get
to
look
at
and
so
for
that
to
be
available
for
the
public
so
that
they
can
see
where
all
that
goes
in
a
PDF
form.
I
will
warn
people
it's
about
350
pages
I.
Think
you
told
me.
N
I
So
it's
still
probably
something
you
want
to
view
on
the
computer,
but
I
just
really
do
appreciate
that
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
whenever
we
can
put
this
workshop
together.
I
would
absolutely
ask
my
colleagues,
though,
to
to
make
that
a
night
meeting
so
that
more
people
could
attend
and
thank
you.
G
Yes,
okay,
chief
Herrero,
thank
you
so
much
to
the
mayor
and
to
all
of
the
staff
that
worked
so
hard
to
present
this
to
us
today.
This
is
my
first
budget
hearing.
I
actually
was
really
excited
about
it.
These
numbers
are
just
huge
and
I
know
that
we're
thinking
about
the
future
as
we
ask
for
this
millage
increase.
One
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
and
hear
is
the
mid-level
projects.
G
I
know
that
you
listed
the
primary
ones,
but
I
feel
like
there's
a
lot
of
dollars
still
involved
in
mid-level
projects.
So
I
would
like
to
know
those
in
more
detail
and
also
even
to
break
out
as
I
had
in
the
discussion
with
you.
All
at
staff
was
the
anything
that
is
supporting
our
youth
outside
of
parks,
regular
parks
and
rec,
but
our
pal
program,
our
East
Tampa
summer
program,
as
well
as
summer,
employment
programs.
G
We
have
an
opportunity
once
once
those
numbers
are
presented,
as
I
said
to
you
to
involve
public
and
private
Partnerships
to
support
our
youth.
We
have
to
start
thinking
Beyond
just
what
the
city
is
responsible
for.
There
are
plenty
of
organizations
and
corporations
who
do
very
well
in
this
city
that
we
can
ask
them.
Other
people's
money
should
also
be
incorporated
into
some
of
the
decisions
that
we
make
so
that
the
city
doesn't
have
to
have
the
burden,
but
yet
we're
still
thinking
about
the
future
Generations,
so
great
job
on
the
presentation.
G
D
C
You
man
and
I'll,
wrap
up
before
we
take
this
five
minute
recess.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
mayor
coming
out.
Councilman
Miranda
brought
up
a
couple
of
things
that
I
wanted
to
mention,
and
one
of
them
is
the
CIT
runs
out
right
around
the
corner.
Yes,.
H
C
And
with
the
last
two
sales
tax
proposal
increases
that
have
been
shot
down,
essentially,
what
confidence
do
we
have?
What
guarantee
do
we
have,
although
so
the
CIT
in
stadiums
and
other
a
stadium
and
other
things?
What
if
that
doesn't
get
renewed?
What
if
we
don't
have
an
that
funding
source
come
2026?
Our
city
is
growing,
our
city
is
changing.
We
talked
about
deferred
maintenance.
We
talked
about
the
quality
of
our
roads,
most
importantly
housing.
That
is
not
going
to
get
better.
C
We
need
to
continue
the
investment,
that's
something
that
we
heard
loud
and
clear.
That
was
probably
the
biggest.
If
not
the
biggest
topic
through
the
campaign
over
the
last
several
years
is
housing.
We
need
to
continue
the
investment
there.
We
talked
about
the
quality
of
our
roads.
That's
one
of
the
biggest
complaints
I
get
is
the
quality
of
our
roads.
We
need
to
address
that
and
again
without
these
dedicated
funding
sources,
that's
councilwoman.
Hurtech
mentioned
other
Counties.
Have
those
dedicated
sir
penny
for
Pinellas,
you
know
or
our
neighbor,
they
have
it.
C
C
So,
having
said
that,
we're
going
to
take
a
five
minute
recess.
Please
check
your
calendars.
When
we
get
back,
we
can
decide
on
a
date
for
this
Workshop
we'll
take
this
into
further
discussion,
so
we're
in
recess
for
five
minutes
and
we're
going
to
start
back
up
with
public
comment.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
