It
is
in
Tampa,
City
Council
honor
to
present
officer
Stanley
merchant,
with
commendation
on
the
24th
day
of
October
2019.
A
Let
me
get
by
saying
wow,
that's
a
extremely
humbling!
Thank
you.
So
much
for
allowing
me
to
be
here,
I
think
the
staffer.
Allow
me
to
walk
up
here
and
choose
me.
I
appreciate
it.thank
of
everybody
in
this
room
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
humbling,
because
if
you've
been
anytime,
the
templates
Department,
you
realize
a
lot
of
talent
here,
as
we
see
as
one
of
our
lushness
alumni
citizen
counsel.
So
it's
very
humming
that
I'm
sitting
in
the
scene
today
thinking
my
major
my
sergeant
corporal
sorry
to
see
you
go
by
Hendrix.
A
A
B
Stand
you
know
I'm
always
excited
to
see
officers
get
the
officer
in
line,
but
I'm
obvious.
Just
be
blunt,
it
is
ecstatic
when
I
see
one
of
my
own
get
that
award
I
know
it
feels
to
get
that
award.
No
one
knows
how
it
truly
feels,
but
one
of
us
to
get
that
award
it's
it's
a
feeling
that
it's
unforgettable
for
the
service
and
work
you're
doing
and
for
all
the
officers.
B
B
E
E
E
When
you
look
at
the
parade
itself,
the
Gasparilla
than
others,
the
work
that
the
police
department
does,
along
with
other
department
like
solid
waste
along
with
others,
it's
amazing
because
two
hours
after
the
parade
you
never
use,
it
was
a
parade
and
the
arrests
have
certainly
bent
down
because
the
ways
you
individuals
in
the
police,
department,
men
and
women
and
have
done
it-
creates
the
obvious
that
you
want
to
go,
have
fun.
You
don't
want
to
create
any
injuries,
and
thank
you
all,
especially
yourself
for
being
police
officer.
Thank
you.
K
K
It
over
well
god
bless.
I
was
going
to
say
no
because
I
mean
you.
You
know
better
than
most
of
us
up
here,
except
of
course
councilman
Goods,
that
when
you're
a
first
responder
police
officer,
your
families
are
the
ones
that
takes
the
hits
because
they
see
you
leave
for
work
every
day
and
they
know
the
risks
that
you
take
every
day
and
they
pray
for
you
every
day,
but
they
they're
the
ones
who
are
there
for
you.
So
I
think
that's
important.
Well,.
K
L
A
L
L
L
K
K
B
K
Thank
you,
sir
may
I
have
a
motion
to
remove
that
I
assume
we
have
a
motion
by
Councilman
Goodes,
a
second
by
Councilman
Miranda,
all
in
favor
any
opposed.
Okay
and
the
next
we're
gonna.
Ask
chief.
Do
gonna
come
up
here?
If
you
would
sir
and
Councilman
Carlson,
you
also
wanted
to
move
up
item
number
16
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
two
commendations
here:
councilman
who's,
your
individual
westerly
bro.
I
I
The
mission
of
the
Tampa
Police
Department
is
to
reduce
crime,
improve
the
quality
of
life
through
community
partnerships,
and
that's
just
a
quick
summary
of
it,
and
so
you
know
we're
very
sensitive
at
the
police
department
about
bike,
stop
issues,
and
things
like
that,
and
so
I
want
to
point
out
that
we
have
yet
to
receive
any
complaints
about
the
bike,
soft
issues
and
so
tells
me
that
there
isn't
any.
But
yesterday
I
spoke
with
a
vet
Lois.
I
And
you
have
some
of
this
in
your
package
is
when
you
look
at
bike
stops
we
had
over
between
our
productivity
and
calls
for
service.
We
had
six
hundred
and
sixty
four
thousand
calls
last
year
or
documented
contacts
with
the
citizens.
Now
just
think
how
many
millions
of
undocumented
contacts
where
you
give
people,
you
know
directions
or
you
come
in
contact
with
somebody
to
restaurant
everything,
but
of
our
documented
contact.
I
Bicycle
stops
are
less
than
half
a
percent
of
what
we
do
just
to
bring
some
context
about.
Bike
stops
because
I
think
that's
been
misconstrued
over
the
years
that
we're
just
out
there
stopping
everybody
in
anybody,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
some
some
highlights
to
give
some
perspective
to
bicycle
stops
and
what
we
do
at
the
Tampa
Police
Department.
I
When
you
look
at
Tampa's
crime
rate
compared
to
other
cities,
we're
20
percent
lower
than
the
statewide
average
or
51%
lower
than
for
cities
that
average
above
250,000
in
population.
When
you
look
at
our
arrest
rate,
our
adult
arrest
index
has
dropped
by
38%
in
the
last
decade
compared
to
a
statewide
average
of
27%.
I
Our
juvenile
arrest
index
has
dropped
by
68
percent
in
the
last
decade
compared
to
the
statewide
average
of
54
percent,
the
clearance
rate,
how
many
cases
were
making
arrests
and
then
we're
clearing
them,
we're
having
at
38
percent
thirty
eight
point:
seven
percent
better
than
the
average
other
cities
out
there,
so
I
think
it's
very
important.
To
give
some
perspective
on
how
successful
we
have
been
in
reducing
crime.
I
So
we
look
at
the
bike.
Stop
data
we
conducted
1000,
less
bike
stops
over
the
last
12
months
than
we
didn't.
Then
we
did
last
in
the
year
before
it's
a
twenty
eight
percent.
Twenty
four
point:
eight
percent
decrease
our
citations
are
down
forty
percent
compared
to
the
last
twelve
months.
Let's
talk
about
the
demographics
because
I
think
that's,
what's
you
know?
I
That's
the
elephant
of
the
room
or
whatever
we
want
to
say
whatever
the
saint
is:
let's
look
at
the
demographics,
so
we've
done
a
thousand
less
bike
stops
while
resting
and
citing
fewer
blacks
and
more
right
white
I
can't
answer
that.
I,
don't
know
why
we're
citing
less
black
people
and
citing
more
white
people,
but
that's
just
the
numbers-
are
what
they
are.
When
you
look
at
our
arrests
and
citations.
When
you
look
at
citations,
we
are
down
52%
and
we
are
up
50%,
we're
down
52%
for
black
people,
we're
up
50%
for
white
people.
I
When
you
look
at
bike
lights,
because
that
is
the
big
issue.
Most
of
these
stops
are
done
at
night
because
that's
when
the
majority
of
the
crime
is
taken
care
of
taking
place,
and
so
we
have
people
who
do
not
have
bike
lights
and
that's
most
of
the
reasons
why
they're
being
stopped,
but
we
need
to
help
fix
that.
So
it's
about
changing
behavior
and
it's
about
educating
people.
I
So
what
we
did
is
we
are
working
with
FDOT
and
the
on
bikes
group
and
we
are
issuing
bicycle
lights
to
people
who
do
not
have
them,
and
so
you
know
we
have
given
out
64%
increase.
We
gave
out
over
300
bicycle
lights
in
a
last
year.
So
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
issue
that
type
of
stuff
and
it's
about
education
and
prevention.
But
it's
also.
I
The
the
main
issue
is
about
reducing
crime,
and
so
you
have,
if
in
your
packet
on
in
the
back,
you
have
some
metadata
there,
where
there's
a
large
number
of
information.
If
you
know
as
far
as
numbers
and
arrests
I
can
go
on
more
but
I
guess
now
they
I'm
to
the
point
where
what
type
of
questions
do
you
have
thank.
E
C
The
big
issue
you
know
originally
was
sort
of
pretext.
You
know
that
stopping
for
for
the
lights
was
really
just
a
pretext
and
that
sort
of
thing
I
think
we're
past
that
that
was
several
years
ago
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
these
numbers
have
dropped
and
kind
of
balanced
out.
But
I
wonder
two
things
number
one.
What
other
issue?
C
What
other
reasons
probable
cause
are?
What
happy
would
the
officers
have
for
stopping
somebody
other
than
the
the
lack
of
lights?
Unless
it's
you
know,
hot
pursuit
or
something
like
that,
but
I
mean.
Is
there
any
other
sort
of
standard
reason
number
one
and
number
two
is.
It
looks
like
we're
only
handing
out
lights
to
through
about
ten
percent
of
the
folks,
almost
actually
exactly
ten
percent
of
the
folks
that
we're
stopping.
So
what
can
we?
C
I
You
know
we're
at
the
mercy
of
who
gives
us
the
lights.
You
know
we
don't
really
have
the
budget
to
buy
them,
and
so
that's
why
we
rely
on
there's
a
group
called
on
bikes,
I'm
sure
all
of
you
are
familiar
with
them.
They
give
us
lights,
our
bike
squad
does
bicycle
rodeos
with
kids
or
we
give
out
helmets
and
bike
lights
for
them,
fix
them,
repair
their
bikes
and
we've
gotten
FDOT
grants
so
event.
You
know
really
what
we
need
is
that
grant
money
and
that
support
to
get
more
lights
and
more
bikes.
I
You
know
sidewalks,
don't
count,
there
has
to
be
a
traffic
infraction
and
obviously
has
to
be
a
legal
traffic
infraction
so,
if
they're,
not
weaving
in
and
out
of
streets,
and
they
don't
have
them
if
it's
really
what
it
comes
down
to
is
when
you're
on
a
road
and
you're
weaving
in
on
traffic
going
against
traffic,
you
don't
have
a
bike
light
at
night.
That's
that's
the
other
thing.
I
think
people
need
to
realize
that
you
need
a
bike
light
at
night,
but
other
than
that,
that's
you
know
really
the
main
traffic
violations.
I
C
And
and
finally,
it
looks
like
you're
doing
this
annually
now
the
this
report,
you.
I
C
I
mean
I
think
it's
a
good
report
and
a
good
for
the
community
to
hear
so
in
case.
There's
some
perception
that
this
is.
You
know
out
of
control
that
that
you
have
it
under
control,
so
I,
don't
think
it's
a
it's
a
bad
thing,
but
the
other
thing
I've
always
been
curious
about
is
a
breakdown
geographically
and
just
in
term
and
I.
Didn't
I
didn't
know
if
it's
on
there
or
not,
but
just
in
terms
of
I,
don't
know
how
you
guys
like
to
do
it.
C
I
I
I'll
refrain
from
commenting
on
that
one.
So
if
you
look
at
the
green
dots
on
the
the
map
there,
that
is-
and
this
is
for
you
know
from
September
October
of
last
year
to
September
30th
of
this
year.
If
you
look
at
the
green
dots,
those
are
bicycle
stops.
If
you
look
where
the
red
blocks
are,
those
are
grids,
those
are
have
43
or
more
big
five
offenses,
which
we
consider
an
aggravated
assault,
any
type
of
gun,
violence,
auto
burglary,
auto
theft,
robbery
and
home
burglaries.
I
So
you
can
see
the
generate
and
then,
if
it's
a
yellow
grid,
it
has
32
or
more
Big,
Five
offenses
and
those
are
the
main
five
crimes
and
we
try
to
focus
on.
So
when
you
look
at
where
a
lot
of
these
stops
are
taking
place,
it's
a
lot,
that's
where
most
of
the
criminals
are
using
bicycles
to
commit
crimes.
I
can
even
give
you
a
couple
examples
if
you
like
on
some
of
the
bike
stops
and
some
of
the
arrests
that
we've
made.
C
I
It's
it's
about
crime
reduction
and
that's
what
the
way
I've
looked
at
it.
You
know
this
started
five
years
ago
and
three
Chiefs
ago,
I,
look
at
it
as
a
crime
reduction
tool.
I,
don't
get
complaints
from
anyone
about
how
we're
doing
our
bike
stops
anymore.
So
you
know
it.
You
know
we
had
back
in
March
16th
at
1:00
a.m.
at
Florida
in
Paris.
We
stopped
somebody
for
who
had
no
light
on
her
bike
and
he
had
a
warrant
for
sexual
battery
and
kidnapping
out
of
Ohio.
I
Is
that
the
type
of
personally
one
on
our
streets
I
can
show
you
a
chart
that
will
match
the
times
of
the
bike
stops
and
time,
and
it
will
show
you
also
the
times
of
violent
crimes
and
that's
really
what
this
is
all
about,
but
they
have
to
be
legal
stops.
That
is
the
big
thing
is.
It
has
to
be
a
legal
stop
for
us
to
stop
and
talk
to
somebody.
You
know
we
had
at
4
8,
2
a.m.
I
and
Sulphur
Springs,
two
subjects
on
a
bike
observed
with
a
handgun,
and
we
made
the
arrest
9
p.m.
33:15,
North
Nebraska,
subject:
shooting
at
each
other
fled
on
bikes.
An
arrest
was
made,
two
handguns
have
recovered.
We've
had
an
occasion.
We
had
two
kids
on
a
bicycle.
One
was
riding
on
the
handlebars.
They
approached
another
kid
who
was
on
a
bicycle:
they
shot,
robbed
them
and
killed
him
for
his
bicycle.
I
think
some
of
those
things
are
being
lost
in
the
narrative
of
of
how
we're
doing
policing.
K
B
Bing
for
that
I
see
some
of
your
points
and
a
person
who
made
bike
stops
and
other
colleague,
Siamese
gentleman
off
with
artists,
audience
I
think
it's
all
about
philosophy
and
I
think
the
philosophy
is
kind
of
changed
now.
The
way
we
do
bike
stops,
how
we
handle
business
at
the
police
department,
because
at
one
point
we
were
doing
business
one
way
and
now
we
get
new
cheese.
We
do
business
another
way.
I
Well,
I
think
what
it
is
I
think
the
department
has
a
ball
evolved,
and
you
know
if
you
recall,
when
I
took
over
I
said
I
wasn't
here
to
reinvent
tpd:
we've
had
some
very
strong
chiefs
of
police
and
we
have
a
very
good
relationship,
but
our
relationship
with
community
involves
it's
an
ongoing
process
and
so
yeah,
it
part
of
its
philosophy.
I.
Think
we're
much
more
aware
of
how
we
police
I
think
it's
a
nationwide
trend.
I
You
know
you
look
at
the
protests
have
happened
over
the
years
and
just
recently
we
haven't
had
many
protests
nationally
on
police
I,
think
police
departments
are
getting
better
and
how
they
police
I.
Think
the
fact
that
we
have
a
a
City,
Council
who's
engaged
I'm
engaged
our
mayor's
engaged
I
mean
our
mayor
won
what
she
gets
73%
of
the
vote.
If
they
were
unhappy
with
TPD
I,
don't
think
she
would
have
been
elected
well.
B
You
know
Gillman,
you
know
I
was
away
last
week
and
you
look
at
different
places,
police.
You
know
the
first
thing,
I
noticed
with
some
other
colleagues
when
we
got
off
the
bus.
We
looked
at
the
officers
the
Chicago
placed
upon,
which
is
a
huge
Police,
Department
huge
and
you
look.
The
first
thing
I
can
see.
Is
the
dress,
attire
and
I?
Look
at
our
dress
attire,
the
presence
that
we
have
versus
oh
I,
just
looked
at
the
Chicago
PD
and
I
was
like
hey.
B
Those
uniforms
are
sooo
Indian,
dirty
and
in
it
just
just
a
presence
that
you
have
to
give
and
I.
Just
think
that
we
do
some
things
good.
Sometimes
we
don't,
but
for
what
it's
worth.
I
think
that
you
know
policing
is
is
an
ongoing
method
and
things
do
change.
It
I'm
glad
that
we
are
now
looking
at
when
things
are
why
we
try
to
make
those
changes
so
I'm
happy
with
that.
This
time.
M
I
I
My
concern
is
that
the
police
officers
are
going
to
start
feeling
like
they
don't
have
the
support
of
counsel
and
at
some
point,
I
have
to
stand
up
for
them
and
say
we're
doing
a
phenomenal
job
and
we
can
keep
beating
this
horse
or
this
drum
but
and
I
will
come
back.
If
that's
your
request,
but
I
wonder
if
this
is
not
starting
to
tire
out.
C
We
could
look
at
it
two
ways.
Chief
I
often
encourage
staff
to
come
up
here
and
give
reports.
So
we
can
talk
about
the
great
things
that
are
happening
in
our
city,
and
so
you
know
the
flipside
of
what
you
just
said.
Is
you
just
gave
a
report
that
says
things
are
improving.
Things
have
improved.
You
know
greatly
over
the
last
five
years,
that's
important
to
report
to
the
community.
I'm.
Sorry,
I,
don't
I,
don't
feel
like
anybody's
beating
you
up
on
this
issue
and.
E
C
C
Here
but
anyway,
I
hear
what
you're
saying
you
know,
and
you
know
we
don't
want.
We
don't
want
any
animosity.
We
you
know
week
after
week,
I
think
we
try
and
show
TBD
and
and
TFR
and
all
of
our
employees
how
much
we
appreciate
them.
We
appreciate
you,
we
appreciate
them,
it's
our
job,
to
ask
questions
and
in
our
job
to
be
the
voice
of
the
community,
and
you
know.
Sometimes
we
do
hear
these
things.
So
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
look
at
them,
but
anyway,
thank
you
for
what
you
do
know.
I
And
I
I
appreciate
that,
but
it's
not
about
me
it's
about
the
men
and
women
like
any
praise
that
the
Tampa
Police
Department
gets
that
people
give
to
me.
I
didn't
do
it,
I
don't
deserve
it.
It's
the
men
and
women
out
there
on
the
street
or
putting
their
lives
on
the
line
that
deserve
the
credit,
and
that
is
my
concern.
Of
course.
Anyone.
E
K
Thank
you,
sir,
and
just
from
my
own
part,
I
mean
III,
think
you
know,
chief,
how
I
feel
about
our
men
and
women
in
uniform
and
I
and
I.
Tell
you
that
if
anybody
up
here
and
nobody
and
nobody
has
but
was
ever
to
be
disrespectful,
I
know
that
that
you
know
I
would
I
would
certainly
speak
out
in
that
regard
and
I
think
before
I
speak,
I'll
ensure
that
our
police
officer
here
would
also
speak
out
as
well.
So
that's
just
my
sentiments
in
that
regard.
110
percent,
but
thank
you,
sir
okay.
Thank
you.
K
K
B
B
That's
the
Northside
of
40th
Street
and
Hillsborough
Avenue,
and
he's
also
taking
on
extra
tasks
by
also
helping
with
the
live
oak
square,
Community
Association,
which
is
also
to
the
west
a
little
bit
between
about
five,
thirty,
fourth
and
north
of
Hillsboro,
but
he
also
was
tablet
kind
of
helping
another
community
group
on
the
south
side
of
Hillsborough
Avenue
by
Williams
Park.
So
mr.
Barnum
in
his
in
his
retirement,
some
of
these
health
conditions
he's
still
out
there
fighting
for
our
communities.
Then
we
have
the
lovely
couple
of
mr.
Robinson
and
mrs.
B
Robinson
children
in
Robinson,
normal
Robinson
and
they're
phenomenal
in
our
self-restraint.
They've
been
up
there.
You
know
the
the
issues
we
have
with
self
or
Springs
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you,
both
all
three
of
you,
get
your
Justin
because
you've
been
working
hard
on
the
trail,
a
long,
a
long
time
devil,
City
Council
we
give
these
accommodations,
but
I
felt
in
my
office.
I
had
to
do
a
little
something
different
and
when
we've
come
up
with,
we
call
our
commendation.
B
There's
a
file
I
created
champions
award,
because
that's
what
you
are
your
champions
of
the
community
you're
fighting
day
in
and
day
out,
you're
serving
the
people
and
when
people
talk
about
leaders
and
certainty,
I
always
tell
people.
No,
those
are
not
my
leaders.
My
leaders
are
those
Community
Association
presidents
who
are
out
there
every
day,
working
doing
the
small
things
to
try
to
make
the
difference
in
our
small
children's
lives,
our
young
adults
and
sometimes
a
lot
of
our
seniors
as
well.
B
B
Mr.
Barney
you've
been
a
song
out
there
for
me
and
I
can't
deny
that

You

and
a

work
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
Tampa.
Mr.
Boylan,

Thank

your
service
to
our
community.
After
that
selfish
Springs,
we
got
some
things
coming
up
that
way.
I
got
some
things.
I
want
to
do
up
there.
I
know
you've
got
that
railroad.
We're
gonna,
try
to
get
that
done.
B
We
don't
want
to
leave
any
part
of
Tampa
left
behind
in
order
to
make
tempura
great
city,
all
parts
of
Tampa
have
to
be
worked
on,
and
it
just
so
happened
that
we
are
working
in
the
East
Tampa
community
and
we
thankful
to
councilman
goos
for
all
that
he's
shown
us
down
three
years,
not
just
as
he's
been
a
council
member,
but
he's
been
working
with
us
for
many
years.
So
we
appreciate
him.
We
appreciate
you
guys,
and
we
just
think
everybody,
this
wonderful
working
to
make
Tampa
Bay.
N
I'm
gonna
say
ditto
I
want
to
thank
City
Council
thank
councilman
groups.
We
want
to
thank
the
police
department
that
has
worked
out
so
much
in
Sulphur
Springs,
because
you
know
at
one
point:
we
had
serious
problem
up
there,
but
we
applaud
the
police
department
and
all
the
citizens
who
are
working
with
us
to
make
this
a
better
place.
We
want
to
thank
all
the
community
leaders
that
are
working
to
make
samples
a
better
place
for
everyone.
Thank
you.
C
Mr.
Barnum,
you
you
and
I,
don't
know
each
other,
but
I've
heard
about
you
and
if
gute
says
you're
good
man,
Robinson's
I've
watched
for
many
years
and
and
by
strange
coincidence,
I
happen
to
be
up
there
yesterday
at
the
at
the
Museum
and
Miss
Norma
showed
me
showed
me
around
and
I
was
at
next
door
at
the
stepping
stones
and
they're
doing
fantastic
things
there
and
and
as
I
Drive
around
Sulphur
Springs
I
can
see
the
improvements
and
you
guys
have
been
a
big
part
of
it.
K
D
E
Want
to
say
thank
you
all
three
of
you.
You
know
it's
very
easy
to
say,
I'm
leaving
this
place,
because
it's
not
the
right
place
to
be
in
years
ago.
It
started
that
way.
Wouldn't
everybody
want
to
build
duplexes
and
duplex,
that
became
vacant
and
overgrown,
and
it
became
not
the
way
that
life
should
be
led,
but
because
of
the
three
of
you,
you
stayed
and
you
nurtured,
and
you
taught
and
you
helped.
K
That's
a
great
organization,
I
visit
I,
remember
talking
to
councilman
hoots
about
that
during
the
during
the
campaign.
In
fact,
he's
always
been
a
big
supporter
and
the
museum
out
there
I
love
to
go
out
there.
That's
a
nice
effort
that
shows
history
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
about,
and
I
know
that
you
all
have
done
some
really
nice
exhibits.
I
remember
there
was
one
not
too
long
ago
on
I
believe
it
was
that
area
during
their
reconstruction
and
afterwards
and
just
really
neat
stuff,
so
I.
Thank
you
all
for
all
your
work.
B
K
And
in
councilman
Carlson
I
know
you
want
to
move
16
up
and
I,
there's
no
problem
with
that.
The
presentation
itself
just
so
that
we
have
a
time
frame
about
how
long
roughly
will
that
take
more
or
less
it
should
take
10
minutes,
ok,
great
and
and
before
I
want
to
make
sure
with
I
see
we
have
Sal
here,
for
where
is
that
item
7
and
10?
K
M
Thank
you
all
for
indulging
me
to
present
today.
I
need
to
state
my
name
bill,
Carlson,
Tampa,
City,
Council,
member
district
4
because
of
sunshine
laws.
I'm
not
allowed
to
present
to
my
colleagues
outside
of
this
forum,
so
I
wanted
to
just
see.
If
you
could
indulge
me
for
a
few
minutes.
I've
got
here
today
my
legislative
aide,
Jason
Marlowe,
who
has
two
masters
degrees
and
has
been
helping
me
put
together.
This
presentation
I
also
have
dr.
moas
limonium,
who
is
the
the
Dean
of
the
USF
luma
College
of
Business?
M
So
the
what
we
did
is
we
looked
at.
We
looked
at
trying
to
create
a
scorecard
for
Tampa.
How
do
we
measure
our
success?
How
do
we
figure
out
whether
we're
doing
well
or
not,
and
so
the
first
thing
to
ask
is,
is
why
would
we
measure
the
reason
to
measure
is
because
what
measures
what
you
measure
gets
done,
and
so,
if
we
measure
things
that
we
highlight
them,
then
hopefully
that
will
get
done
in
the
future.
M
These
are
what
I
call
vanity
rankings.
There
are
lots
of
vanity
vanity
rankings
about
Tampa
in
other
cities.
The
reason
why
I
call
them
vanity
rankings
is
because
they're
done
by
publications
websites
that
want
to
get
publicity
for
themselves,
so
they
say:
here's
the
top
10
list
for
whatever
city
and
then
hopefully
the
cities
and
people
in
those
cities
will
post
them
all
over
the
place
and
it
will
send
links
and
hits
to
those
websites
and
they're
fun
to
use
and
they're
important
if
we're
trying
to
build
a
brand
for
Tampa.
M
So
we
all
want
to
be
Tampa
boosters.
We
all
want
to
say
positive
things
about
Tampa
and
it's
great
to
post.
Those,
but
if
we're
looking
it's
respectively
at
what
we
really
need
to
address,
we
wouldn't
look
at
those
as
much.
The
other
thing
is
that
the
way
they're
put
together,
sometimes
it's
not
very
scientific
and
also
they're,
looking
at
the
MSA,
the
entire
region,
not
just
the
city
of
Tampa,
so
we
looked
at
by
the
way.
M
I
also
worked
with
Alex
who's,
the
the
city
council
intern,
who
is
in
the
USF
economics
program,
and
so
he
helped
us
with
this
as
well.
Although
he's
not
able
to
be
here
today,
what
we
did
is
we
looked
at
the
best
cities
in
the
world
that
and
how
they
measure
themselves.
You
all
may
know
I
spent
five
years
in
Singapore
a
year
at
the
MBA
program,
studying
Singapore's
model
than
four
years
in
part,
consulting
the
government
of
Singapore,
and
we
can't
copy
the
Singapore
model.
M
But
in
1984
Singapore
said
they
wanted
to
have
the
same
per
capita
income
as
Switzerland
by
the
year
2000,
and
they
not
only
hit
that
but
about
three
years
ago
they
hit
the
highest
per
capita
income
in
the
world
and
they
continue
to
do
well
on
lots
of
different
measures.
But
the
thing
is,
we
need
to
look
at
the
measures
and
figure
out
how
we
how
we
should
be
successful.
There
are
hundreds
of
key
metrics.
We
should
use,
we
could
use,
but
what
we
did
is
we
talked
not
only
to
dr.
M
Lyman
at
USF,
but
we
also
talked
to
Bieber
at
University
of
Florida.
We
talked
to
the
economist
at
the
Florida
Chamber
Foundation
others,
and
we
studied
how
other
cities
measure
themselves
and
you
could
create
a
very
complicated
model
with
hundreds
of
measures,
but
what
we,
what
we
did
with
Moses
advice,
was
just
pick
seven
and
say:
seven
is
an
easy
number
for
people
to
remember
their
basic
measures,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
are
input
into
that.
M
So
I'll
hit
them
one
at
a
time
and
we
compare
the
numbers
to
Florida
cities,
the
major
vortices
and
also
to
benchmarked
cities,
and
so
I'll
go
through
this
and
there's
a
summary
page
at
the
beginning
of
each
one,
but
in
terms
of
per
capita
income.
If
you
look
at
the
top
of
the
chart,
the
yellow
line
is
Fort
Lauderdale
and
it's
important
to
kind
of
look
at
the
shape
of
the
lines.
You
don't
have
to
necessarily
look
at
the
numbers.
M
You
all
can
study
those
later
Tampa
is
a
distant
second
at
Fort
Lauderdale,
but
we're
above
the
other
peer
cities
in
Florida.
Miami
is
way
at
the
bottom
and
that's
a
trend
that
you'll
kind
of
see
throughout
here.
So,
in
terms
of
per
capita
income,
we
do
very
well
some
of
these
numbers.
We
do
well
in
some
way,
don't
do
well,
but
the
idea
is
to
look
at
where
we
are
today,
because
if
we
don't
do
well,
that's
an
opportunity
for
the
future.
M
This
is
as
we
dig
down
into
the
numbers,
and
we
can
dig
down
into
any
of
them
and
with
USF's
help
we
can
do
predictive
analytics.
But
one
of
the
reasons
why
Tampa
does
really
well
in
per
capita
income
is
that
we
have
a
higher
percentage
of
wealthy
people,
especially
millionaires.
So
Tampa
has
7.3
percent
of
people
who
make
more
than
$200,000
a
year
where
the
state
of
Florida
averages,
4.8
and
st.
pete
is
4.5
just
to
give
an
example.
M
Fort
lauderdale
also
has
a
very
high
number
of
millionaires
in
terms
of
the
benchmark
cities,
though,
when
we
picked
Atlanta,
Austin
and
Charlotte,
because
Tampa
Chamber
just
got
back
from
Charlotte
benchmarking.
We
often
compare
ourselves
to
those
cities
as
pure
cities
and
later
you'll
see
a
comparison
to
all
cities,
but
it's
just
an
interesting
comparison
to
look
at
them.
You
see
a
change
though
Tampa
now
compared
to
those
peer
cities
is
way
at
the
bottom
and
Atlanta's
at
the
top.
Then
Austin
then
Charlotte,
so
for
setting
a
per
capita
income
goal,
for
example.
M
C
M
Yes,
sorry
if
I
didn't
say
that
one
of
the
differences
also,
then
the
vanity
rankings
is
that
we're
only
looking
at
the
city
of
Tampa
and
by
the
way,
the
data
that
we
used
is
census
data.
So
anybody
can
look
it
up,
it's
available
readily
online
and
we
we,
the
Great
Recession,
officially
ended
in
2009,
and
so
we
figured
2008-2009
we're
an
anomaly.
So
we
picked
2010
through
2017.
There
is
2018
data,
but
it's
estimated
data
and
we
wanted
to
use
data
that
the
alesis
census.
Department
was
very
confident
in
thank.
K
M
M
Tampa's
is
nine
thousand,
and
so
as
we're
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
improve
our
economy
and
policy
solutions,
you
know
understanding.
Some
of
the
numbers
behind
the
numbers
is
important.
Oh,
better
ranking
of
income
is
to
look
at
median
household
income
because
per-capita
gets
drawn
off
by
the
millionaire's
in
our
community
and
if
you
look
at
this
chart,
Tampa
is
third
from
the
bottom
kind
of
consistently
for
a
lot
another
top.
Then
the
state
of
Florida
Jacksonville
st.
Pete,
it's
interesting
when
we
look
at
MSA
data.
M
One
of
the
reasons
why
Tampa
does
well
is
because
we
have
st.
Pete
in
our
MSA
and
a
lot
of
times
we
think
of
st.
Pete
as
kind
of
a
little
brother,
but
for
the
MSA.
The
regional
data,
st.
Pete
helps
us
some
areas.
We
do
better
than
them,
but
a
lot
of
areas
they
do
better
than
we
do
and
we're
lucky
that
Miami
is
so
low
because
they're,
the
kind
of
the
laggard
in
numbers
like.
M
There
are
all
different
kinds
of
ways
you
can
slice
and
dice,
but
it's
interesting
to
look
at
that
and
we
represent
the
city
of
Tampa.
So
that's
why
we
looked
at
the
city
of
Tampa.
Only
then
we
looked
at
median
household
income
compared
to
our
benchmark
cities,
and
you
see
that
Austin
is
way
ahead
in
Charlotte,
the
United
States,
average
Atlanta
and
and
even
the
state
of
Florida.
So
if
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
it's
not
so
important,
where
we
been,
it's
just
try
to
figure
out.
M
G
M
Important
thing
to
look
at
here
is
kind
of
the
shape
of
the
curves.
Our
middle
class
has
been
growing,
but
the
rate
of
growth
in
st.
Pete
and
to
certain
say
the
state
of
Florida,
is
higher
than
ours
and
the
trend
nationally.
In
many
areas,
the
middle
class
has
been
shrinking
and
depending
on,
where
you
start,
and
in
the
measurement
ours
could
have
shrunk
as
well.
M
But
but
if
you
look
at
it
holistically,
the
middle-class
is
staying
kind
of
stagnant,
it's
a
small
rate
of
growth,
and
so
it's
something
that
we
want
to
look
at
another
important
factor
that
is
talked
about
by
a
lot
of
people
sitting
here.
This
podium
is
poverty,
and
if
you
look
at
the
chart,
Tampa
has
the
second
highest
poverty
rate
of
major
cities
in
in
Florida,
again
we're
lucky
that
Miami
is
a
laggard
here,
but
compared
to
look
at
st.
Peter's
way
on
the
bottom.
St.
M
pete
has
aggressively
addressed
their
poverty
issue
over
the
last
few
years
and
even
among
the
other
cities
there.
This
is
pulling
out
the
number
of
people
who
are
who
are
below
the
poverty
line
and
then
compared
to
just
that
last
year's
numbers
compared
to
other
major
cities.
Again,
ours
is
pretty
high
except
from
compared
to
Miami,
then
looking
at
the
unemployment
rate
and
there's
some
recent
data
as
I
said,
but
but
it's
not
completely
updated.
If
you
look
at
our
our
unemployment
rate,
it's
very
low.
M
It's
below
when
I
studied
economics
below
6%
is,
is
below
the
natural
rate
of
unemployment,
and
you
shouldn't
really
go
too
far
below
that,
but
look
at
st.
Pete's,
it's
it's
just
above
4%.
Now
all
of
these
are
lower,
but
the
the
important
thing
to
do
is
compare
Tampa
to
the
other
major
cities
and
in
terms
of
unemployment
rate
ELISA.
As
of
2017,
our
unemployment
rate
was
higher
again
it's
not
about
looking
back
it's
about
figuring
out
what
our
goals
might
be
for
the
future
homeownership
rate,
which
many
people
have
spoken
about
here.
M
The
mayor's
got
a
task
force.
We
are
looking
at
homeownership
rate,
all
the
way
on
the
right,
you'll
see
Singapore
and
again
we
can't
copy
the
Singapore
model.
We
shouldn't,
but
there's
a
almost
92
percent,
it's
a
it's
an
outlier,
but
it's
an
important
part
of
their
economy.
That
people
can
that
people
own
their
own
homes,
st.
Pete's,
is
about
58
percent.
The
state
of
Florida
is
65,
Tampa's
is
is
48
and
we
had
a
group
here.
A
few
months
ago
that
presented
and
said
the
African
American
rate
is
42
percent,
so
we
we.
M
This
is
an
area
that
we
can
easily
address.
The
Tampa
Chamber
has
a
task
force
focus
on
homeownership.
We
have
the
CRA
s.
We
also
have
the
tools
within
the
city
to
address
it
again.
The
fact
that
we're
at
50
48
percent
doesn't
look
particularly
good,
but
it
gives
us
a
long
way
to
grow
if
we
set
a
higher
goal
for
the
future.
M
M
They
used
data
analytics
to
analyze,
how
to
reduce
crime
rate
and
they're,
using
the
same
tools
to
look
at
some
of
these
other
issues,
alongside
whatever
we
do,
but
they
aggressively
reduced
a
crime
rate
which
is,
which
is
why
it's
so
low.
If
we
take
those
same
kind
of
analytical
tools
and
focus
on
some
of
the
other
issues
and
work
together,
we
should
be
able
to
address
them
as
well:
educational
attainment.
We
are
higher
than
other
cities
in
Florida,
but
we're
way
below
our
benchmark
cities
that
we
compare
against.
M
So
just
in
MO
as
gay
was.
This
quote
the
Amazons
of
the
world
go
beyond
their
rankings
and
the
rhetoric.
They
look
at
the
facts
and
they
know
the
facts
better
than
we
do
so
when
big
companies
are
looking
at
Tampa
or
even
small
businesses
or
looking
to
relocate
here,
they'll,
listen
to
the
vanity
rankings
that
we
give
them.
But,
more
importantly,
they
have
access
to
the
same
census,
data
that
we
do
and
they
look
at
their
real
numbers
and
decide
whether
this
is
a
good
place
for
them
or
not.
M
And
so,
by
looking
at
the
the
numbers,
we
can
make
a
big
difference
in
trying
to
move
these
along
also
the
sample
chamber
when
we
were
in
Charlotte
a
week
or
two
ago
we
met
with
a
person
in
charge
of
a
foundation
who
had
done
an
investigation
of
poverty.
Ten
years
ago
they
said
we
looked
at
the
issue.
We
aggressively
addressed
it
and
if
you
look
at
the
numbers,
Charlotte
has
really
done
better
than
us.
M
On
that
some
conclusions,
my
recommendation
is
that
the
policy
and
economic
development
efforts
need
to
focus
on
reducing
poverty,
because
if
you
look
at
the
broad
spectrum
of
the
numbers,
that's
our
it's
our
biggest
issue.
Also,
we
need
to
grow
the
middle
class
at
a
higher
rate
and
the
other
thing
that
I
would
recommend
and
I
hope
would
be.
An
outcome
of
this
eventually
is
that
we
would
have
a
scorecard
that
we
can
use
to
measure
where
we
are
and
where
we
want
to
go
and
set
some
goals.
M
The
next
step
would
be
to
define
a
scorecard
and
goals
get
community
input
on
it.
Work
with
maybe
USF
to
do
predictive
analytics
on
what
the
policy
applications
might
be
to
change
it
and
then
create
a
plan,
and
we've
got
two
hats
on
with
CRA
and
City
Council
that
we
can
address
that
one
last
tool.
This
is
the
seven
metrics
on
the
left.
As
of
2017.
M
The
next
column
is
Tampa's
number,
and
then
we
pulled
the
best
city
in
Florida,
and
then
we
pulled
the
best
city
in
the
United
States
different
than
our
benchmark
cities,
and
so
then,
in
the
right
column,
there's
a
2030
goal
and
what
I
would
ask
you
all
to
do
is
maybe
we
could
schedule
a
month
or
two
from
now
to
come
back
and
look
at.
Do
you
think
these
are
the
right
seven
measures?
We
can
always
add
other
measures
underneath
them,
but
do
you
think
if
we
had
a
simple
scorecard
with
fewer
than
ten
things?
M
Are
these
the
right
measures
and
then
what
would
our?
What
should
our
goal
be
for
the
future
and
I
set
up
a
just
basic
website,
Tampa
scorecard
comm,
which
has
this
whole
presentation
on
it?
If
you
all
want
to
look
at
it
more
there's
also
a
survey
monkey
survey
that
has
that
chart
that
I
just
showed.
So
anybody
watching
this
on
TV.
If
you
have
any
recommendations
that
you
want
to
give
just
fill
in
the
blanks
on
those
and
tell
us
whether
you
think
these
are
the
right
measures
or
not.
K
E
Again,
thank
you
for
the
report
is
very
nice.
I
look
at
things
a
little
differently,
I'm
not
trying
to
be
different,
but
I
look
at
things
and
from
what
I
read
in
the
past
that
Tampa
was
the
fastest
growing
city
east
of
the
Mississippi
River
I,
don't
know
if
that's
correct
or
not
I
think
was
only
second
to
west
of
the
Mississippi
River,
which
was
Phoenix
and
I
looked
at
numbers
only
as
a
number
that
doesn't
mean
because
that
number
that
we
talked
about
in
life
doesn't
understand
where
we
all
come
from.
E
So
when
you
look
at
Tampa,
why
is
Fort
Lauderdale
and
st.
beat
others
better
than
we
are
as
far
as
income
I
would
have
to
say
because
there
next
to
the
water,
they
might
have
a
benefit
there
in
the
beginning
of
life,
but
they
also
have
the
highest
suicide
rate.
Far
remember
my
courses
in
criminology
water,
creats
suicide.
Whatever
reason
I
don't
know
why
I
look
back
and
look
at
the
people
that
I
went
to
school
with
and
when
I
went
to
school,
I
never
went
to
high
school
I
went
to
Jefferson
what.
E
G
E
Against
the
only
two
other
high
schools,
Hillsborough
and
plantain,
they
had
Center
tracks
from
track.
We
didn't
have
a
track.
Yes,
we
had
a
run
track.
Where
do
you
have
a
baseball
diamond
on
campus
yeah?
We
had
to
compete
in
baseball
a
football
field
full
of
Santa
bursts
yeah.
We
had
to
compete
in
football.
The
basketball
court
that
we
had
was
open
field
until
1954
when,
finally,
they
built
one.
E
So
we
were
the
minorities
that
were
left
out,
but
we
really
were
not
left
out
when
you
look
at
that
clash
from
the
50s
on
to
the
60s,
I,
guess
and
I
venture
to
say
they
produce
more
renowned,
individual
and
I'm,
not
taught
it
by
myself.
I
was
a
complete
disaster.
I
admit
it
from
the
first
goal,
but
we
had
guys
like
dr.
Dennis,
propellor,
renowned,
heart
surgeon.
We
had
lawyers,
renowned
lawyers,
we
had
anything
you
wanted
to
say
in
anything,
you
want
and
I
go
back
and
I
trace
it
to
one
thing:
parenting.
E
They
told
us
what
to
do
and
how
to
do
it
and
when
I
go
back
and
I
realize
that
about
the
middle
class.
What
do
we
have
in
Tampa
in
the
40s
and
50s
12,000
cigar
workers?
What
wage
were
the
earning
minimum?
They
do
work
in
an
air-conditioned
places.
No,
they
don't
work
in
faces
that
were
harsh.
Yes
did
they
ever
complained
nope.
E
They
wanted
to
do
one
thing:
success
for
the
family,
not
for
themselves.
There
were
gold,
they
knew
there
will
be
sacrifice
that
it
was
for
their
families
and
I'll
go
back
and
a
continued
look
at
life,
white,
Miami,
prosperous
or
quick
and
Fort
Lauderdale
again
the
immigrants
this
time
with
some
capital
because
they
came
from
other
parts
of
the
world,
mainly
South,
America,
Colombia
and
Venezuela.
They
had
el
dedo
el
dinero.
We
didn't
have
that.
Why?
Because
they
were
close
to
the
water,
why?
Because
it
was
already
immigrants
there
from
spanish-speaking.
E
Yet
at
that
time
in
life
in
the
40s
and
50
Tampa
had
more
Cubans
than
any
place
in
Florida.
We
don't
have
that
now.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
we're
becoming
what
everybody
already
is,
but
we're
not
lagging
behind.
It's
where
you
started
and
where
that
sit
room
is
now
is
where
you
you
can
put
pinpoint
where
you
at
in
life.
E
So
those
numbers
are
correct:
I'm
not
doubting
the
numbers,
but
you
have
to
go
back
and
tell
me
what
happened
when
you
stirred
the
parenting
era
before
you
and
how
you
got
where
you're
at
today.
So,
although
they're
behind
I
think
Tampa
Sun,
damn
well
and
everything
they're
done,
I've,
never
compared
the
city
with
another
city,
never
and
I.
Never
compare
myself
with
my
anybody
else.
E
I
am
what
I
am
I,
don't
belong
in
anybody's
league
I
do
what
I
think
is
right,
but
I,
maybe
I'm
different,
but
I,
don't
think
I
am
difference,
I
think
I'm
different
because
I
say
I'm
different,
not
because
I
want
to
be
different.
So
when
I
look
at
life,
the
attaining
of
a
person's
ability
to
succeed
is
not
what
you
do
yourself
is
how
you're
nurtured
and
brought
up
when
I
was
brought
up
like
most
of
us
at
Jefferson.
Not
only
do
we
have
the
parents,
we
had
the
whole
family.
E
Now
Lopes
and
Tony
LaRussa
may
be
the
only
baseball
park
in
the
country's
got
to
Hall
of
Famers,
but
I'm
not
talking
about
sports
Ernie's
porch
is
part
of
it,
but
it's
also
a
detriment
because
it
takes
away
from
you
wanting
to
learn.
You
think
you're
gonna
make
it
to
the
big
leagues
and
you're,
not
gonna.
Do
that
one
in
two
hundred
thousand
we'll
make
it
but
again
I
want
to
thank
you
for
it.
I
understand
what
you're
saying,
but
you
have
to
go
back
to
that
era.
E
When
I
was
in
school,
I
didn't
know
English
for
two
years
they
told
me
not
to
come
back
the
first
year.
They
should
jump
out
the
window
go
home
because
I
don't
know
what
the
hell
they
were
talking
about
and
like
me,
there
was
half
the
class
that
way,
but
we
wanted
to
get
out
from
where
we
were
not
to
better
ourselves
because
their
parents
nurtured
us
to
be
a
good
citizen.
That's
all
it
was
about.
It
was
about
money.
We
look
at
things
in
life.
Everything
is
about
money.
E
The
income
I
understand
that
part,
but
you
better
look
at
the
people
you're
creating
in
life
and
what
they're
doing
it's,
not
all
about
money.
It's
about
your
life,
there's
a
beginning
and
there's
an
end
to
everything,
nothing
less
forever.
Now
one
thing:
that's
forever,
no
matter
what
species
you
are,
what
building?
You
are
what
nothing
lasts
forever.
When
you
look
at
sports,
there's
a
high
esteem,
always
win
the
series.
E
C
You
mr.
Carlson
excellent
job,
excellent
presentation
learned
a
lot
of
stuff,
so
the
first
thing
I
always
do
is
perhaps
my
my
research
background,
but
is
to
say
what's
the
source
of
this,
and
so
on
your
notes.
It
says:
source,
American,
Community,
Survey,
I,
said
what
the
heck's,
the
American
Community
Survey
and
I'm
very
impressed
to
see
the
American
Community
Survey
is
the
federal
government.
This
is
this
all
came
out
of
census,
data
from
the
annual
census
and
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
I
think
it's
a
very
objective
source
of
of
information.
C
In
contrast,
you
call
them,
would
you
call
them
vanity,
the
vanity
studies
or
whatever
I,
always
love
chuckle
at
those?
You
know
what
I
mean,
because
it's
kind
of
like
what
is
this?
What's
the
source
of
that,
but
we're
the
best
city
for
a
suntan
or
something
I,
don't
know
you
know
it's
just
kind
of
but
anyway,
so
so
I
do
always
Chuck
with
us
and
take
them
with
a
grain
of
salt,
excellent
presentation,
good
source,
it's
kind
of
cruel
that
you
made
Jason
do
this
as
he
was
preparing
for
his
wedding.
C
To
Jason
and
his
wife
and
their
wedding
the
other
day,
but
in
all
seriousness,
I
think
this.
The
best
thing
I
out
of
this
and
Charlie
I
agree
with
many
of
your
comments
is
that
we
have
a
benchmark
and
and
I
think
that
it's
really
a
excellent
that
you've
identified
these
two.
So
we
know
you
know
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
I
just
I
just
came
back
to
Council
five.
C
You
know
May
first,
we
all
got
sworn
in.
So
this
is
our
starting
point.
Like
you
say
we
can't
it
doesn't
do
any
good
for
us
to
look
backwards
and
see
the
mistakes
we
made
and
you
know
like
we
were
talking
about
the
chief.
You
know
that
a
minute
ago
you
know
looking
backwards,
doesn't
doesn't
do
us
any
good.
C
We
need
to
look
forward
so,
but
in
order
to
look
forward,
you
need
to
know
where
you're,
starting
at
and
I
see
this
as
this
is
our
starting
point,
I
think
it's
excellent
that
you've
done
this
benchmark.
I
would
hope
that
every
year
you
come,
you
know,
come
back
stand
in
front
of
that
podium
and
remind
us
where,
where
we
are
and
where
and
where
we
came
from
in
regard
to
those
benchmarks,
because
today
you
know
today
is
the
starting
point
in
that
regard.
C
You
know
you
build
your
wealth
by
by
owning
a
home
in
in
many
cases
and
that's
how
the
middle
class
in
this
country
had
had
grown
over
decades
and,
unfortunately,
I
think
as
a
nation
I
think
we've
taken
a
little
tumble,
but
as
a
community
I
think
we
can
improve
that
tremendously
and
I.
Think
council
and
the
mayor
have
been
focusing
on
that
in
a
very
healthy
way
for
the
last
three
four
months,
and
we
do
continue
to
do
that
for
the
next
three
and
a
half
years,
one
slide
I
didn't
see
up.
There.
C
I
thought
the
the
gender
slide
was
interesting.
I
wouldn't
have
necessarily
guessed.
You
know,
guess
that
I
I
know
we
still
have
a
gender
disparity.
I
wouldn't
have
thought
that
different
cities
might
very
much
and
an
I
agree
with
Charlie.
Also
I,
don't
really
get
focused
on
we're
better
than
Orlando,
and
this
and
st.
Pete's
better
than
us
on
that
I
mean
I,
know
out
of
town
companies.
Look
at
that,
but
really
when
I
look
at
the
numbers
and
the
difference
between
us
and
Saint
Pete.
It's
not
that
big!
C
It's
you
know
1%
here
or
2%
there.
You
know
so
I
think
in
many
ways
I
celebrate
their
successes
because
we
are,
you
know
people
get
mad
at
me
for
saying
it,
though
we
are
Tampa
Bay
in
many
ways,
and
outside
companies
will
look
at
the
bay
area
and
and
and
and
yes,
I,
agree
with
you.
We
can't
fix
the
whole
bay
area
because
we
are
400,000
people
in
the
city
of
Tampa
City
Council,
but
so
we
need
to
focus
on
what
we
can
fix
ourselves,
but
at
the
same
time
I
celebrate
Clearwater
st.
C
Pete
I
celebrate
all
of
them.
If
they're
doing
a
little
better
than
us
in
some
categories
great
can
we
learn
from
them?
Yes,
and
we
should
we
should
go
up.
We
should
have
one
of
those
tours
when
we
go
over
and
look
at
what
they're
done.
They
can
come
over
here
and
look
at
what
we're
doing,
but
in
regard
to
gender
I
thought
one
of
the
slides
we
were
missing
was
and
I
think
it's
probably
obvious
was
was
race,
was
racial,
was
racial
disparity
and
and
I'm.
C
C
Oh,
the
other
thing
I
was
gonna
say
was
that
in
regard
to
race,
I
think
one
of
the
things
counsel
Kant
has
been
doing
and
continue
to
do
is
w
MBE,
because
when
we
talk
about
a
three
billion
dollar
pypes
program,
okay,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
that
that
a
good
portion
of
that
money
is
spread
throughout
the
entire
community
across
all
gender
and
racial
lines.
Thank
you.
K
L
You
very
much
Thank
You
councilmember
Carlson
for
bringing
this
forward
all
your
work
on
this
and
to
your
legislative,
aide,
Jason,
who
worked
tirelessly
on
this,
the
guys
here
at
6:30
in
the
morning
and
the
sun's
not
even
up
and
he's
already
the
lights
on
in
your
office.
So
looking
here
at
this
slide,
vanity
rankings
and
Millennials
are
mentioned
twice
and
since
I'm
the
lone
millennial
on
this
board
and
have
been
for
over
four
and
a
half
years.
L
No
I
want
to
tell
you
a
couple
of
stories:
I
graduated
from
USF
in
December
of
2007,
and
all
the
friends
that
I
made
were
from
out
of
state
Ohio,
Pennsylvania,
New,
York
and
New
Jersey,
and
not
a
single
one
stayed
after
graduation.
They
either
graduated
with
me
in
December
of
oh
seven
or
in
the
spring
of
2008,
and
everybody
left
and
the
one
I
laughed
most
about.
They
went
back
home.
One
of
them
went
to
Brooksville
and
so
to
this
day,
I
go.
How
did
we
lose
somebody
to
Brooksville.
L
So,
whatever
anyways
now
he
lives
in
Vero
Beach,
everybody
looked
and
they
said
the
same
thing
I
go.
Why
are
we?
Why
are
you
leaving
after
moving
down
here
and
spending
four
or
five
years
of
your
life
and
the
Sunshine?
You
came
for
the
weather
or
you
came
for
scholarships
or
whatever
it
is.
They
said
because
Tampa
doesn't
have
what
we
need.
They
don't
have
the
jobs
that
we're
looking
for
so
we're
going
back
home.
L
So
my
one
friend
Brett,
the
guy
that
went
to
Brooksville
who's,
the
one
that
I
regularly
keep
in
contact
with,
will
visit
Tampa
about
once
a
year
or
so
and
when
he
came
back
after
leaving,
he
left
in
2008
and
he
came
back
to
visit
and
20:16
I
said.
Well,
let
me
let
me
show
you
what
I
do
you
know
I
got
elected
in
15
I
said
you
know,
I
work
in
City,
Hall,
here's
the
streetcar,
here's
curtis
dickson
park,
everything
that
was
existing
at
the
time.
L
So
I
gave
him
a
tour
and
he
says
I'm
sorry
that
I
left,
because
I
want
to
I
would
I
would
move
back
here
and
bring
my
kids
and
walk.
My
dog
and
whatnot
and
I've
told
this
story
before
up
here,
but
the
fact
that
he
said
then
I
can
convince.
You
know
one
person
to
come
back
and
say:
look
how
much
we've
changed
in
these
last
several
years.
I!
Think
I.
L
Can
you
know
we
can
sell
that
message
to
other
people
so
fast
forward
to
2019
and
looking
at
our
population
growth
I
believe
it's
like
55
to
58
thousand
new
people
have
come
to
this
area.
Growing
up
I
lived
near
Tampa,
Bay
Mall
and
we
would
go
to
Tampa
Bay
Mall,
which
is
no
longer
than,
and
you
would
see
somebody
you
knew
some
old
man
sitting
in
the
food
court
with
nothing
to
do
that.
You
knew,
or
you
see,
friends.
L
Now
you
go
to
international
mall
and
you
don't
recognize
anybody.
It's
all
new
people
you
going
on
the
Riverwalk
and
you
hear
different
languages.
You
go
to
our
mature
works
on
a
Friday
night
and
there's
2,000
people
and
I
as
an
elected
official
thinking.
Oh
you're
gonna
get
stopped
everywhere,
like
you
would
at
the
grocery
store.
I
can
go
freely
as
a
ghost,
and
nobody
recognizes
me
and
I
don't
recognize
anybody,
because
there's
all
new
people
and
when
you
talk
to
them,
you
ask
them.
How
long
have
you
been
here?
L
Oh
I
moved
down
here
in
2016,
I
moved
down
here
in
2018
I've
lived
here.
Six
months,
I
live
across
the
street
at
the
apartments.
Whatever
having
a
conversation
with
my
mother
yesterday,
who's
been
here
since
1962,
she
says:
Tampa
is
really
on
the
map.
There
was
a
marketing
campaign
in
the
early
80s
saying
Tampa,
the
next
great
American
city,
mayor
Buckhorn,
brought
it
up
many
many
times,
but
there
was
a
period
there
where
it
was
stagnant.
There
was
growth,
but
not
like
it
is
now.
L
People
are
flocking
here,
especially
young
people,
they're
relocating
for
jobs,
they're
relocating
here
because
of
the
neighborhoods,
for
whatever
reasons
but
they're
coming
to
Tampa
we're
not
losing
them
to
Charlotte
we're
not
losing
them
to
Miami,
although
Miami
has
its
growth
but
as
I
travel.
The
state
because
I
like
to
take
these
road
trips
and
see
other
cities
and
I
like
to
travel
in
general,
when
I
can
Tampa
offers
the
perfect
I
had
the
opportunity
to
go
out
of
state
for
college
and
I.
L
Didn't
I,
remember
taking
the
LSAT
with
my
friend
again
Brett,
and
we
had
plans
to
go
to
Michigan
after
we
graduated
USF.
He
even
went
up
there
and
he
said
I
found
the
perfect
apartment.
I
know
where
we're
gonna
do
this
and
that
everything
was
organized
and
ready
to
go
and
I.
Remember
the
conversation
that
I
had
with
my
mother
in
Ybor
City,
because
I
thought
she
was
going
to
kill
me
I
said
I,
don't
want
to
go.
A
L
Law
school
for
several
reasons,
and
one
of
them
was
I'm
scared
that
if
I
leave
I
won't
come
back
here
and
I
love
Tampa.
That
much-
and
this
is
back
in
2008
or
so
mm
and
I'm
glad
I
didn't
leave.
I
I
started
at
a
University
of
Tampa,
because
I
wanted
to
stay
here
and
I
had
to
drop
out
up
for
a
year.
Cuz
I
couldn't
afford
it.
I
went
to
HCC,
I
went
to
USF
I,
kept
it
local,
but
even
in
those
times
when
people
were
leaving
I
made
it
a
point
to
stay
here.
L
I
said:
Tampa
offers
the
perfect
balance
last
time.
I
was
in
Miami
was
three
and
a
half
years
ago,
I
remember
driving
into
downtown
one
Monday
morning
and
having
a
panic
attack
going.
This
is
crazy.
Look
at
the
traffic
here,
you
know,
I,
don't
even
recognize
this
downtown,
because
I
hadn't
been
down
there.
Since
I
was
a
kid
ago.
Everything
is
demolished.
Everything
is
new.
Where
do
I
park,
blah
blah
blah?
You
come
down
to
Tampa
and
it's
so
much
easier.
I
mean
it's
a
perfect
balance
of
the
neighborhood's,
the
history.
L
What's
new
the
growth,
everything
it's
it's
just
what
I
need
I,
don't
think
I
would
ever
live
anywhere
else
unless
I'd
retire
somewhere.
But
in
your
presentation,
you've
shown
the
the
good
and
the
bad
where
we
need
to
make
improvements,
and
that's
fine
I
mean
we
need
to
do
these
kinds
of
studies
they
can't
just
be.
You
know
everything
seen
through
rose-colored
glasses,
as
has
been
in
the
in
the
last
several
years.
You
know
everything
is
great.
Everything
is
being
built.
L
L
L
Look
at
the
construction
all
around
this
area,
so
I'm
glad
I'm
glad
to
be
here
to
witness
this
Renaissance
that
I
think
where
we're
living,
at
least
in
my
lifetime
and
in
my
mother's
lifetime,
who's
been
here
over
50
years,
but
we
have
you
know
we
have
to
to
look
at
where
there
are
areas
that
need
improvement
and
we
need
to
focus
on
that.
We
talk
about
affordable
housing.
You
know,
that's
huge,
you
know,
Tampa
really
is
not
affordable.
We
have
a
lack
thereof.
We
talk
about
gender
inequality.
We
talk
about
racial
inequality.
L
You
know
we
had
the
police
chief
here.
There
are
improvements
with
the
police
department
he's
given
us
the
report
from
that
came
up
in
2015
when
I
first
got
elected,
I,
remember
the
comment.
I
made
it's
it's
2015,
but
it
feels
like
1965
whatever
when
that
story
came
out,
but
things
are
getting
better,
but
there
are
areas
that
we
need
to
focus
on.
You
brought
this
up
and
this
is
a
great
place
to
begin
with
and
as
councilmember
dick
Felder's
said,
you
know,
this
is
a
new
time.
L
D
B
G
D
D
Tampa
is
not
the
city
that
it
was
when
I
moved
here
in
1974.
The
great
strives
that
we
have
achieved
some
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
one
thing,
I'd
like
to
see
thrown
into
the
matrix
the
next
time
you
may
present
this
and
I
hope
you
do
present
it
again,
his
retirement,
what's
our
retirement
community
as
opposed
to
port,
st.
Lucie
or
Fort
Lauderdale
or
st.
Petersburg,
in
my
opinion,
that
stabilizes
their
economy
a
little
bit
more
but
I.
D
B
Thinkers
chair,
councilman,
costing
a
great
job
of
the
presentation
you
and
your
staff
I
wish.
We
would
have
had
a
little
bit
of
your
matrix
talking
about
equality
and
making
sure
that
the
level
of
service
for
everyone
is
the
same.
As
you
know,
that's
not
the
case
here.
We
still
have
a
lot
of
challenges
and
it's
what
I
call
roadblocks
you've
probably
said
it
many
a
times
and
in
different
areas
we
have
of
our
communities.
B
We
have
roadblocks
and
that's
why
I'm
so
eager
to
quit
motions
and
to
try
to
take
down
those
barriers
and
those
roadblocks,
especially
we
talk
about
hiring
practices,
housing
practices
a
lot
of
times.
You
know
what
our
own
workforce
here
we've
got.
Some
practices
that
I
think
she
he
looked
at
some
people
are
even
now
young
people
not
getting
hired
by
the
city.
It
should
be
a
some
type
of
caveat
to
get
them
into
the
workforce.
B
I
took
a
class
many
meetings
when
I
was
in
the
mastery
and
the
professor
always
talked
about
you
can
have
a
job
and
you
can
make
some
good
money
at
a
job.
But
what
are
the
benefits
benefits?
A
key
to
a
job
I
can
go,
make
some
money
and
be
a
welder,
but
the
where
my
benefits
where's
my
retirement.
How
does
that
play
into
a
fact?
A
lot
of
people
in
the
city
want
to
be
city
workers,
because
their
benefits
come
all
those
packages.
B
These
simple
roadblocks
that
we
have
to
look
at
so
I'm,
hoping
in
the
future.
When
you
come
up
with
your
study
that
we
include
some
of
these
other
types
of
matrix,
so
we
can
kind
of
get
some
countermeasures
to
stop
something's
bad
practice
that
I've
been
living
in
for
years
and
I
can
tell
you
as
a
new
counselor.
These
are
things
I'm
going
to
be
look
at
and
find
food
to
change,
some
of
those
bad
behaviors
that
we've
been
doing
for
but
again
I.
Thank
you
for
your
work.
K
Okay
and
just
to
put
in
my
thoughts
again
a
great
job
by
Councilman
to
uring
office,
as
well
as
to
my
constituent,
Dean
Linnaean.
Thank
you,
sir,
for
for
your
work.
I
bring
a
lot
obviously
to
this.
You
know
when,
when
I
was
seeing
this
councilman
I
thought
I'm,
always
a
big
history,
guy
and
I
thought
about
on
a
national
level
in
the
early
1960s,
when
you.
F
K
K
Everybody
grew
together
in
part
not
just
from
the
post-war
boom,
but
we
had
something
called
labor
unions
about
35
percent
of
the
private
sector
was
and
labor
unions.
We
were
supported
by
then
new
programs.
Things
like
something
called
the
minimum
wage,
an
end
to
child
labor.
In
the
1930s
Seoul
secured
expansion
of
Social
Security,
disability
1960s,
we
saw
things
like
Medicare,
Medicaid,
etc,
etc
that
helped
the
middle
class
and
helped
people
who
were
desperately
trying
to
get
into
the
middle
class.
K
Then,
in
1970s,
due
to
a
number
of
issues,
the
economy,
the
bottom,
the
economy
fell
out
for
so
many
American
workers.
We
obviously
experienced
that
here
we
see
that
here
in
Tampa,
you
look
at
different
areas
like
sulfur
screen,
Springs
parts
of
East
Tampa
parts
of
terraced
park,
often
Nebraska,
etc,
where
childhood
poverty
is
about
double
what
we
have
throughout
the
city
of
Tampa
over
at
that
50
60,
65
%.
You
know
the
issue
is
of
what
are
we
gonna
do
about
it?
K
Train
I
want
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
encourage
apprenticeships
here
in
the
city
of
Tampa.
That's
something
that
other
cities
have
put
their
mark
on
and
I
and
I
am
taking
a
look
at
that
issue.
This
also
requires
us
to
also
work
with
other
local
governments
and
something
that
we
all
agree
on.
We
all
agree,
for
example,
that
education
is
the
pathway
to
the
middle
class.
We
got
to
work
with
our
friends
in
the
school
board
and
making
sure
that
we
can
do
whatever
we
can
in
our
individual
positions
to
improve
education,
etc.
K
M
Can
you
still
quick,
wrap
up
or,
of
course,
just
to
think
USF
and
Jason
Alex?
You
guys
have
to
this
pro
bono
and
they
have
lots
of
data
analytics
they've,
helped
the
team,
a
partnership
to
crunch
numbers
and
slice
and
dice
the
numbers
and
all
different
kinds
of
ways.
What
we
tried
to
do
is
keep
this
basic
thing
simple,
but
that
we
are,
they
can
go
through
and
slice
it
up
any
way.
M
We
want
to
quick
analogies
to
end
with
you
all
many
people
know
I'm
a
Star
Wars
fan
Disney
just
opened
up
galaxy's
edge
and
they
they're
getting
lots
of
hype.
Lots
of
publicity
about
opening
this
new
Star
Wars
area
they've
got
a
new
Star
Wars
movie,
coming
up.
Ultimately,
in
a
year
from
now
or
two
years
from
now,
the
shareholders
are
going
to
look
back
and
say
how
did
that
change?
The
number
of
people
who
went
to
Disney?
M
How
did
it
change
our
revenues,
how
to
change
our
profits,
how
to
change
our
hotel,
States
and
so
the
same
thing
here.
The
public
capital
markets
are
really
an
in
place
where
you
can
get
information
in
the
in
the
public
sector
in
the
in
the
government
sector.
It's
hard
to
figure
out
what
measures
you
should
use.
There
are
measures
that
look
make
us
look
really
good
measures
that
make
us
look
really
bad.
If
we
have
an
objective
set
of
measures,
it
will
help
guide
us
in
the
future.
M
K
K
F
F
We
operate
in
oversight
if
you
will
of
every
usdot
grantee,
who
has
a
DBE
or
MBE
program,
including
the
city
of
Tampa,
so
I'm
also,
the
president
of
the
Sun
Coast
minority
contractor
Alliance,
a
statewide
group
of
one
dozen
African
American
construction
contractors
that
espouses
political
advocacy,
governmental
relations
and
training
and,
of
course,
from
time
to
time,
but
not
today,
I
represent
the
American
Legion
veteran
small
business,
Task
Force
in
Washington
DC.
So
as
far
as
the
wimba
program
is
concerned,
well,
you
all
have
a
report.
F
F
F
I
don't
mean,
like
the
outreach
events
that
you
have
with
all
the
small
businesses
I
mean
specific
to
the
african-american
group,
and
that
can
draw
people
out,
including
including
utilizing
the
pypes
program
to
Advent
methods
such
as
the
HUD
section,
three
involving
the
citizens.
Several
comments
have
been
made
just
this
morning
about
increase
in
the
middle
class.
F
If
the
city
is
going
to
spend
three
billion
dollars
and
as
300
million
dollars
were
for
work
advertised
today
on
the
street
as
we
speak,
somehow
this
dollars
should
be
captured
and
you
know
somehow
applied
to
the
citizens
in
the
community
if
it
works
on
hood,
if
it
works
on
housing.
It'll
work
on
this
is
something
the
city
has
the
authority
to
do
and
I
think
that
improving
the
analytics
collecting
the
data
of
success
or
failure
is
very
important
because
we
don't
know
where
we're
going.
F
F
Plenty
of
them
are
dead
or
gone
now,
but
we
have
to
replenish.
People
went
out
of
business
with
the
recession.
Will
that
happen
everywhere,
including
here
we
got
to
bring
them
back
at
my
tape,
extreme
type
outreach
training,
some
of
the
grants
that
are
going
to
nonprofits
could
go
to
African
American
contractor
trade
groups
for
licensing.
We
don't
have
enough
licensees,
so
I'm
not
going
to
stay
here
all
day.
I
appreciate
the
heads-up
to
come
in
and
talk
about
the
topic
and
I'll
be.
You
know
pleased
to
provide
any
information
that
anybody
would
like.
N
Good
morning
Connie
Burton
there
was
an
African
artist
group
that
taught
debate
that
recorded
a
song
and
it
was
called
smiling
faces,
sometime,
pretend
and
sometimes
throughout
those
faces.
We
can't
see
the
evil
that
lurks
within
I.
Think
I
appreciate
your
metrics
report
this
morning,
because
we
got
to
have
a
starting
point.
Some
people
have
been
around
in
this
city
council
and
when
came
back
glad
to
see
you,
but
if
you
look
around
some
of
the
conditions
still
remain
the
same
and
we
got
to
get
serious
about
it.
N
So
as
a
homework
assignment
for
me,
I'm
gonna
be
going
to
that
website
and
I'm
gonna
be
sending
out
suggestions
and
from
the
community.
So
we
can
help
push
this
ball
alone
and
what
was
so
kind
of
wrenching.
For
me
to
look
at
is
when
we
look
at
the
crime
statistics
and
how
low
Temple
was
and
then
I
look
inside
of
the
community
and
see
all
of
the
social
services
that
I
needed.
You
know
why,
because
so
many
people
are
incarcerated,
we
back
to
square
one.
N
People
are
incarcerated
so
now
grandmothers
and
mothers
and
aunties
got
grazed
these
children
and
the
place
of
reunion
for
a
lot
of
African
people.
Unfortunately,
it's
at
the
courthouse
because
we
see
people
coming
and
going
every
day
we
talk
about
the
wealth
gap.
We
talk
about
housing,
we
talk
about
watching
inside
of
East
Tampa
homes
being
built
at
250,000
dollars
and
people
feel
comfortable
with.
That
is
the
new
trend.
N
N
We
need
that
discussion
and
again,
as
we
tell
the
mayor
and
the
transition
team
and
to
you
all
that
was
elected
just
recently,
the
clock
is
ticking
I'm,
hoping
that
the
voters
are
smarter
than
we
were
four
years
ago,
and
we
don't
continue
this
cycle
of
letting
people
make
veiled
promises
to
us
without
delivery.
Thank
you.
G
Good
morning
my
name
is
Dalton.
Lassiter
I
am
the
political
organizer
on
behalf
of
organized
Florida,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
couple
of
my
members
who
are
unable
to
come
this
morning.
They
have
a
situation,
a
living
situation,
being
ex-felons
they're
having
very
much
difficulty
finding
housing
and
what
they
wanted
to
convey
to
you
today
is
that
they
need
some
help.
They've
committed
these
crimes
over
ten
years
ago,
and
as
people
when
we're
trying
to
reintegrate
in
society
things
we
need.
G
Some
of
the--
need
some
assistance,
it's
very
difficult
when
you
completed
your
sentence,
you're
back
out
in
society,
but
you
can't
find
a
place
to
live.
You
can't
find
a
safe
place
to
live
it's
difficult
enough
as
well
to
find
jobs.
So,
ultimately,
there
have
been
giving
a
life
sentence
when
the
judge
only
gave
them
a
certain
amount
of
time.
So
what
I'm
going
to
convey
to
you
today
is
that
we
need
programs
that
help
these
people
weep.
They
need
assistance,
I
myself
in
my
ex-felon,
and
it
was
very
difficult
for
me
to
find
housing.
G
I
thank
God
that
I
had
a
support
system
through
family
and
friends,
where
I
was
able
to
seek
some
help
in
those
arenas
and
I
found
a
job
with
an
organization
who
didn't
look
at
my
background.
He
looked
at
me
today
and
saw
that
I
could
do
the
job
right.
So
I'm
thankful
for
that.
But
I'm
saying
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
don't
have
that
type
of
assistance.
They
don't
have
family
to
help
them.
They
don't
have
friends.
They
don't
have
a
support
system
for
when
they're
trying
to
reintegrate
themselves
into
society.
G
These
two
women,
I'm
speaking
of
on
behalf
of
organized
fraud,
commit
a
crime
10
years
ago.
They
shouldn't
still
be
dealing
with
this
type
of
situation,
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
to
you
guys
attention
you
guys
are
our
City
Council
and
I
would
like,
for
you
guys
to
try
to
put
some
programs
in
the
place
that
can
assist
people
like
that.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
sir
and
sir.
If,
if
you
want
I
mean
I'm
sure
you
can
get
in
touch
with
my
aide
or
somebody's
aid,
and
we
can
try
to
see
if
these
two
women
we
can
help
them
find
some
house
saying
if
you
want
a
Brandon
if
you're
watching
this
get
in
touch
with
Ellen.
If
you
don't
mind,
thank.
M
K
A
Name
is
Alison
gate
and
I've
only
been
in
Tampa
a
short
time
and
traveling
a
lot,
but
I
am
very
concerned
I'm,
very
amazed
at
how
much
of
a
renaissance
there
is
happening
and
I'm
concerned
about
the
environment
and
that
there
was
no
discussion
of
that
and
that
Tampa
right
now
still
has
a
lot
of
green
spaces
but
they're
disappearing.
So
I
believe
that
should
be
an
important
point
mentioned.
Whenever
we
talk
about
trying
to
preserve
this
area
and
what's
good
about
it.
So
that's
all
I.

to
non
loaded
vehicles
and
enforcement
acts
aspects
related
to
any
particular
code
changes
by
non
motive
vehicles.
It
is
my
understanding
that
in
particular
that
there
has
been
a
concern
about
boat,
trailer
and
other
pleasure
craft
trailers
parking
on
residential
streets.
So
I
want
to
talk
to
you
first
about
what
we
currently
have
in
place.
You.
M
H
M
H
I
want
to
start
with
what
you
currently
have
in
your
books.
That's
a
starting
place,
which
is
you
have
a
definition
of
non
Motor
Vehicles,
which
is
basically
any
vehicle.
That's
not
motorized
any
vehicle,
it's
basically
anything
that's
transporting
a
person
or
property
upon
public
street.
You
currently
have
a
regulation
that
non
emotive
vehicles
are
prohibited
from
parking
in
parking
meters
on.
H
So
let
me
start
with
saying
we
do
not
believe
that
you're
a
preempted
from
regulating
in
this
area,
so
you
would
any
regulations
that
you
have
or
that
you
want
to
amend,
would
be
under
your
Home
Rule
Authority.
So
as
long
as
you
have
a
rational
basis
to
do
it
and
it
supports
the
public
health
safety
and
welfare
you
can
regulate
in
this
area,.
H
There
are
a
couple
ways
in
looking
at
what
other
jurisdictions
do
in
regarding
this
area
and
some
prohibit
boat,
trailer
or
pleasure
craft
trailers
completely
on
residential
streets
or
in
all
areas
of
the
city
from
parking
on
the
streets.
But
what
you
see
more
commonly
is
that
there
is
a
prohibition
for
overnight
parking,
so
that
allows
for
people
to
bring
their
boats
to
the
residences
load
and
unload
during
the
day,
but
prohibits
them
from
being
there
overnight.
Both
of
those
would
be
within
the
realm
of
possibility
of
what
you
could
look
at
doing.
H
You
asked
us
also
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
enforcement
of
it
and
I.
Currently
tpd
enforces
in
this
in
areas
of
the
city
that
aren't
related
to
the
parking
garages
and
in
metered
spaces,
and
that's
how
this
particular
regulation,
if
you
choose
to
go
forward,
would
be
enforced,
would
be
something
need
to
be
looked
at
a
little
bit
further.
Currently,
under
your
code,
this
type
of
regulation
would
be
subject
to
a
parking
citation
which
is
a
$29
citation.
If
you
don't
pay
it
there's
a
process
to
challenge
it.
H
We
can
go
into
more
details
with
that
if
you're
interested,
it
also
does
under
your
code,
currently
allow
for
impoundment
of
these
vehicles
or
immobilization
I
do
want
to
put
forward
that.
That
is
not
an
easy
process.
If
you're
trying
to
tow
a
boat,
it
would
not
be
most
likely
from
a
practical
standpoint,
the
first
line
of
attack
for
any
violations.
H
The
boat
some
fall
over,
we
could
potentially
have
liability,
so
I
wouldn't
want
anyone
to
think
that
if
you
did
pass
a
regulation,
all
those
boats
would
be
immediately
impounded,
that's
more
of
a
practical
consideration,
but
it
is
an
option
on
the
table
and
I
would
recommend
that
you
keep
it
as
such.
An
option.
H
H
Is
an
option
under
your
code?
Currently,
the
immobilization
is
typically
some
sort
of
boot
and
whether
or
not
that's
gonna
work
better
on
a
boat,
it
certainly
is
most
likely
easier
because
you
can
get
to
the
wheels.
But
you
know
it's
going
to
be
more
of
a
practical
consideration
that
we
could
look
more
into
and
have
more
information.
Now
when
we
come
back.
E
Just
for
point
of
clarity,
sometime
back
in
history
boats
were
not
allowed
to
be
parked
on
your
property.
Then
we
changed
the
law,
not
the
law
of
the
aspect
of
it
that
you
can
mark
it
as
long
as
it
was
behind
the
front
of
your
house
not
in
front
of
the
house,
but
beside
of
your
side,
vanity,
where
it
wasn't
visible
directly
from
the
eye,
you
had
to
look
for
it.
E
Enforcement,
its
courtesan
has
so
many
things
to
do
which
one
of
them
is
boats
and
and
I.
Remember
one
endeavors
on
it,
particularly
across
from
fire
station.
That
was
a
pain
for
everyone
and
it,
but
not
only
that
one
there's
thousands
of
boats
now
that
are
in
the
driveway
in
front
of
house
is
that
legal
or
not.
H
E
E
On
the
street,
in
fact,
out
of
all
once,
I
never
got
in
it,
it
was
stolen,
but
it
is
what
it
is
and
there's
so
many
of
the
things
that
court
enforcement-
and
you
know,
I,
look
at
something
with
a
wider
spectrum,
wider
lenses.
When,
when
we
go
back
and
talk
about
corner
forces
for
last
30
years,
it
was
to
help
and
do
a
good
job
and
they
try.
It
was
a
talk
to
the
Neighborhood
Association.
They
certainly
done
that.
It
was
peer
to
peer.
They
certainly
done
that
it
was
daily
reports.
E
They
certainly
done
that
it
was
follow-ups.
They
certainly
done
that,
but
the
problem
keeps
multiplying
and
the
reason
it
multiplies
is
economic
situation.
In
only
certain
areas
of
the
city,
the
preponderance
of
things
happen
in
early
certain
neighborhood,
not
because
they
want
to
because
that's
the
way
it
is
and
and
I
look
at
court
enforcement
and
the
way
it
was
then
some
mayor's
in
the
past
I'm,
not
gonna,
say
who
said
I
want
everybody
to
be
the
eyes.
I
want
everybody
who
drives
a
vehicle
to
report,
something
that
they
see
the
court
enforcement.
E
You
wouldn't
have
24
officer,
you
would
have
500
officers
really
that
are
not
court
enforcement
officers,
doing
the
sightseeing
and
writing
code
and
code
enforcement.
However,
I
look
at
things
differently.
I
really
believe
every
police
officer
before
they're
sworn
in
has
got
to
spend
one
month
where
the
court
enforcement
officer
riding
around
so
that
they
understand
what
the
court
enforcement
officers
have
to
do.
It's
a
very
difficult
job,
I
see
them
all
the
time.
E
It
only
happens
in
certain
neighborhoods
and
some
others
very,
my
new.
You
don't
see
them
as
readily,
but
when
you
see
that
they're
not
paying
Advil
or
taxes
like
they
should
the
landing
zone
for
it
like
it
is,
the
federal
government's
are
collecting
their
taxes
on
income
because
they
don't
report
it,
and
it's
a
it's
a
shame
that
for
years
we
haven't
done
anything,
but
on
the
other,
flip
side
of
the
coin,
I
say
the
other
side.
They
say
we
solve
that
problem.
Now.
What
do
we
do?
E
The
people
that
live
in
those
houses
where
they
live,
that
we're
caught
in
a
vise
we're
trying
to
help
people
to
have
better
housing
yeah?
We
have
this
situation
and
we
take
them
out.
Where
do
they
live?
Where
do
they
go?
It's
not
an
easy,
easy
fix,
so
we're
gonna
take
a
convention
of
people
not
not
four
or
five
to
try
to
solve
this
problem
and
it
won't
be
solved
for
years
to
come.
We
passed
my
turn.
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
K
M
K

C
C
It's
maybe
there's
a
department
out
there
that
could
give
us
a
little
more
information.
I
was
thinking
code
enforcement
has
a
lot
of
eyes.
Ppd
and
code
enforcement
have
probably
the
most
eyes
and
ears
on
the
street,
and
maybe
we
could
get
some
additional
information
from
them
in
terms
of
how
big
a
problem
and
issue
this
is
I
mean
I.
Don't
doubt
that
you've
received
some
complaints,
I,
don't
know
how
to
quantify
that.
But
anyway,
that's
that's.
My
only
concern
I.
A
K
L
M
M
H
Current
legal
apartment,
the
short
answer:
that
is
no,
because
you
don't
regulate
just
because
somebody
cares
about
it.
You
have
to
have
a
public
safety
or
a
public
welfare
issue
related
to
it.
So
if
there
was
something
unique
to
Hyde,
Park
and
say
the
streets
were
more
narrow,
you
could
say
you
can't
do
it
on
streets
of
a
certain
width
or
something
like
that,
but
you
can't
just
do
it
by
geographical
area.
It
has
to
have
a
basis
that
would
apply
logically
to
wherever
those
those
criteria
would
be.
K
D
Very
quickly,
my
years
has
Magistrate
on
code
enforcement.
There
was
a
certain
term
brought
into
compliance,
and
once
these
boats
that
are
known
as
a
problem,
they
move
them
go
out.
Fishing
code
enforcement
officer
comes
out.
The
property's
been
brought
back
into
compliance.
Well,
then,
that
boat
goes
in
parks
again
at
the
end
of
the
day,
in
my
opinion,
councilman
Carlson,
you
have
a
great
idea
with
looking
at
two
overnight
regulation
parking
there
Thank
You
mr.
chair.
Thank
you.
I
Warning
counsel,
Tony,
multi,
special
event,
superintendent
walking
on
item
today.
That's
a
rescheduled
event
for
a
special
event:
Street
closure,
it's
for
the
Making
Strides
Breast,
Cancer
Walk.
That's
was
scheduled
for
last
Saturday
but
has
been
delayed
till
November
third,
due
to
inclement
weather
this.
I
K
E
You
chairman
ma
I,
speak
of
this
one
side,
I
appreciate
what
you're
done
and
I
know.
This
is
only
for
half
a
day
or
something
like
that
in
that's
it
for
well
cost.
However,
when
you
look
at
your
computer,
enclosures
of
streets,
you're
gonna
find
over
4,000
streets
are
closed
in
the
city
of
Tampa
on
any
given
year
for
reasons
for
a
water
breaks
or
whatever
caused
by
this
for
the
purpose
of
well-being
of
the
citizens.
K
H
But
item
ten
was
a
request
to
appear
and
talk
about
some
potential
code
changes
regarding
the
uses
of
gas
leaf
blowers,
the
dumping
of
lawn
debris
in
stormwater
drains
and
culverts,
and
the
consequences
that
result
from
this
dumping
of
debris.
So,
in
speaking
with
the
maker
of
the
motion,
councilman
Carlson's
office,
I
heard
I
was
my
understanding
that
there
are
a
couple
issues
with
the
leaf
blowers.
One
is
the
noise
one
is
the
debris
getting
blown
into
the
storm
water
and
another
one?
H
H
Full
disclosure-
this
was
taken
from
a
PowerPoint
that
was
created
by
the
city
of
Naples
about
a
year
ago,
but
I
thought
it
had
some
pretty
interesting
information
in
it.
Just
for
a
preliminary
points
of
discussion
where
it
talks
about
noise
regulation.
So
at
the
top
you
have
a
jet
plane
over
2,000
feet
in
a
rock
band.
A
gas
lawnmower
at
3
feet
is
a
hundred
in
long
leaf
blowers.
Both
electric
and
gas
are
somewhere
between
the
65
and
the
85.
H
Heavy
traffic
is
about
60,
something
just
by
way
of
comparisons,
I
think
from
a
practical
standpoint,
if
you've
ever
been
near
a
leaf,
blower
they're
very
loud
I
mean
there's,
there's
no
question
about
that
kind
of
thing,
and
the
various
leaf
blowers
have
different
decibel
levels.
There
are
some
that
are
on
the
market
now
that
have
silencers
they're
a
lot
more
expensive,
but
there
are
some
options
out
there.
H
So,
as
you
may
or
may
not
be
aware,
the
city
of
Tampa
has
its
own
noise
regulations
and
we
expressly
exempt
out
sound
which
results
from
the
reasonable
maintenance,
a
property
located
in
the
city
of
Tampa,
including,
but
not
limited
to
lawnmowers.
Chippers,
clippers,
blowers
tools,
power
tools
and
tractors,
so
you
have
no
noise
regulations
on
any
of
these
things.
Under
your
current
city
code
anytime,
you
change
your
noise
regulations.
H
You're
typically
going
to
have
me
explain
that
you
have
to
have
a
predicate,
even
if
the
noise
itself,
such
as
a
launch,
if
err
doesn't
implicate
free
speech,
the
noise
regulations
as
a
whole
do,
and
they
can
have
an
implication
on
that.
However,
I
think
it's
pretty
clear
that
you
could
establish
a
predicate
that
these
are
all
very
loud
and
you
could
look
at
some
potential
regulations.
H
One
of
them
would
be
to
ban
them
another
one,
which
is
what
you
see
more
commonly,
is
as
opposed
to
exempting
them
out
is
to
limit
the
hours
of
operation.
You
currently
have
hours
of
hours
of
operation,
but
you
certainly
have
our
limitations
on
construction
noise
and
you
could
do
something
similar
and
you've
already
established
that
you
know
those
are
reasonable
sorts
of
regulations.
So
that's
one
thing:
that's
the
who
could
consider
is
some
limitation
on
the
hours.
H
So
when
this
was
written,
there
were
some
questions
about
enforcement.
You
know
code
enforcement
going
up
to
individual,
it's
typically
code
enforcement
goes
up
to
homes
and
you
psyche
the
property
owner.
But
that's
not
what
this
sort
of
situation
is?
It's
not
necessarily
the
recognized
like
the
homeowner
you're
gonna
cite
the
individual.
That's
doing
that.
So
because
of
that,
this
was
expressly
written
so
that
the
individual
can
be
cited
and
have
a
$75
I
believe
it
is
fine
and
a
business.
H
That's
cited
is
a
$450
fine
and
if
there's
an
individual
who's
working
for
a
business
under
this
code,
a
written
notice,
if
you
find
that
the
individual
is
violating
it,
a
written
notice
is
sent
to
the
business
the
long
company
and
after
that,
if
you
see
that
individual
doing
it
again,
the
business
can
be
held
joint
and
severally
liable.
So
then
you
can
cite
the
business
because
they
now
have
known.
H
They
now
know
that
this
is
a
problem
and
that
somebody
in
their
their
employee
was
violating
it,
and
so
we
feel
that
we
can
hold
them
liable
for
not
enforcing
that.
That's
currently
what
you
have
on
your
book,
so
it
has
been
recognized
it's
a
problem.
It
was
addressed
by
a
code
a
few
years
ago.
It
was
updated
most
recently
in
2017,
2015
I
apologize
and
that's
that's.
The
enforcement
that
was
done
on
it.
H
H
There
are
some
cities
that
have
banned
the
gas
blowers
both
for
the
noise
and
for
the
emissions.
There
are
other
things
that
cause
emissions,
as
you
all
know,
no
gas,
lawnmowers
and
as
well
as
other
lawn
equipment,
also
cause
missions.
The
only
city
in
the
City
of
Florida
that
has
had
a
complete
ban
on
gas
blowers
is
the
city
of
Palm
Beach,
which
is
not
very
comparable
to
the
city
of
Tampa,
because,
as
the
last
census,
it
has
a
population
under
10,000
and
I.
H
Believe
it's
in
the
top
30
wealthiest
countries
I
mean
cities
in
America.
So
it's
not
necessarily
a
comparable
regulation.
I
say
that,
because
in
my
examination
I
just
want
to
let
you
know,
although
legally
I
think
you
can
regulate
in
this
area,
you
probably
are
going
to
want
to
take
some
time.
Take
some
public
input
if
you
do
choose
to
go
forward
with
some
sort
of
ban,
because
they've
been
very
controversial,
there's
an
expense
added
to
people
in
it.
H
Obviously,
replacing
this
sort
of
equipment
is
more
expensive
or
more
proportionately
expensive
for
people
of
lower
incomes,
so
these
have
tend
to
be
very
controversial
and
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
as
you're
going
forward
that
you're
probably
going
to
want
to
take
some
time
to
get
some
public
comment
on
this
one.
We
do
have
mr.
G
Rio
here
to
talk
about
enforcement
of
the
current
regulation
as
it
has
existed
and
provide
you
some
background
on
that.
A
Morning,
Costas
salvage
area,
I,
don't
have
much
to
report
because
we
don't
get
many
calls
on
this
type
of
violation.
Over
the
last
year,
we've
probably
had
four
incidences.
Where
we
were,
we
either
observed
somebody,
and
we
have
to
observe
to
actually
make
the
case
where
we
observed
a
violation
occurring
to
were
a
three
were
grass
being
blown
into
the
drain
and
it
was
citation
issued
for
that
and
the
fourth
one
was
a
code
officer
was
checking
out
a
plaza
and
observed
a
restaurant
employee
pouring
oil
into
the
drain.
Any
any
cited
him
for
that.
A
K
M
It
just
to
start
the
the
other
issue
that
wasn't
brought
up
is
the
as
the
pollution
issue,
so
gas
blowers
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
evidence
on
how
much
they
pollute
the
air.
Besides,
the
the
noise
part
of
it
I
would
be
open
to
some
restrictions
on
the
times
you
can
use
them.
Ideally,
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
figure
out
if
we
could
switch
to
maybe
over
a
year
to
ask
people
to
phase
out
to
electric
blowers.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mister.
This
is
the
first
time
I've
heard
that
anyone
got
fined
for
I
think
there's
a
violation
of
the
chapter
27.
If
I
recall,
that's
what
my
aide
told
me
some
years
or
so
ago,
but
that's
been
in
the
books.
You
know
putting
things
in
to
enter
the
sewer
for
many
years.
However,
I
compared
to
him
what
we
had
a
water
crisis,
what
that
department
did
they
had
a
contract
for
water
police?
E
We
hired
people
to
drive
around
and
catch
people
who
had
the
sprinklers
on,
not
that
we
did
it
with
intent.
We
did
it
because
there
was
no
water
and,
like
that,
just
like
the
case
like
there
was
no
water.
This
is
a
case
of
we
got
to
clean
up
somebody's
mess
that
we're
paying
for
not
them.
That's
the
problem
that
we
have
and
if
anybody
goes
in
toward
the
tertiary
treatment
plant
you'd
be
surprised
what
they
find
in
there.
It's
amazing.
E
So
what
I'm
saying
is
in
order
to
solve
these
problems?
You
just
can't
get
on
complain
basis.
You
must
have
feet
or
drivers
on
the
street
looking
for
them.
I
myself
can
show
you
five
every
day,
that's
happening
because
they
do
it
on
a
daily
basis.
One
time
mama
was
driving
down.
Henderson,
Boulevard
and
Swann
and
I
saw
a
truck.
I
did
not
know
attached
to
one
of
our
piles
that
we
have
there,
where
you
open
up
the
bow
for
fire
and
all
that
big
hole.
E
And
it
was
about
7:30
in
the
morning
I'm
watching
this
guy
just
take
water
filling
up
his
tank,
so
I
called
the
chief
that
handled
that
department
and
he
says:
well,
you
gotta
find
out
because
some
have
that
right,
but
there's
contractors
that
were
paying
to
do
water,
they're
the
palms
and
trees,
whatever
they
got.
In
this
case
it
was
not
just
about
a
month
ago
right
in
the
corner
of
my
house,
I'm
coming
out
of
my
house
and
I
see
a
truck
dumping.
Something
into
a
sewer
line.
E
I
took
pictures
of
I
gave
it
to
that
same
department
head,
and
that
was
taken
care
of
immediately.
So
it's
you
got
to
have
feet
on
the
ground.
Complaints
by
phone
or
not
gonna
sell
the
problem.
You
must
have.
If
you
really
want
to
do
something
you
gotta
have
somebody
call
you.
The
police
department
can
call
somebody's
got
a
call,
but
the
police
department
is
burden
on
crime,
but
this
is
a
crime
to
because
it's
taken
to
public
necessity.
Out
of
somebody
who's,
not
dumping
and
forcing
the
crew
sherry
treatment
plant
to
solve
a
problem.
E
That's
not
theirs!
It's
created
by
whoever
that
subcontractor
or
contractor
or
homeowner
is,
and
that's
what's
going
on
all
over
the
city,
not
in
West
have
fun
not
in
East
have
fun
all
over
in
South,
Tampa
everywhere
in
New,
Tampa
everywhere
it's
going
on
today
as
we
speak,
the
problem
will
not
be
solved
unless
you
have
boots
on
the
ground.
Thank
you
just
look.
You
have
water
meters,
we
didn't
have
water
meter,
readers,
you
never
get
a
water
bill
and
that's
what's
going
on.
E
K
C
I
was
there's
a
lot
of
good
issues
that
this
Kirk
brought
up
and
Sal.
Thanks
for
your
report
Mike.
My
first
question,
which
you
already
answered,
was
as
there
much
enforcement
activity
going
on
are
complaints
and
that
sort
of
thing
it
sounds
to
me
like,
but
in
the
last
couple
of
years
just
a
handful
I
just
wanted
to
speak
in
our
own
household
I
was
a
little
skeptical,
my
wife
I
guess
she
bought
it
present.
C
C
You
know
us
taking
a
big
step
forward
and
mandating
you
know,
mandating
electric
equipment
in
terms
of
you
know
this
sort
of
thing
just
because
not
only
from
the
commercial
side,
but
a
lot
of
people.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
have
I
mean.
Maybe
we
could
created
some
sort
of
incentives
or
or
something
a
little,
a
little
a
little
more
tame
than
then
actually
mandating
or
eliminating
gas
gas
equipment.
I
don't
know.
Can
it
concerns
me
a
little
bit
from
the
financial
side
of
things.
L
Looking
at
the
EPA
and
the
Clean
Water
Act
I
saw
that
some
studies
suggest
that
80%
of
trash
that
goes
into
our
system
and
waterways
is
from
land
I,
don't
know
if
that's
just
leaf
blowers
or
people
just
throwing
an
empty
bottle
out
the
window,
and
it
ends
up
in
our
in
our
system.
But
I
know
we're
talking
about
leaf
blowers.
But
I.
L
All
sorts
of
stuff
I
don't
know
if
it
was
Councilwoman
caffeine
that
mentioned
it
up
on
the
dais,
but
I
know,
there's
you
know,
methods
of
you
know,
leaf
blowers
or
blowing
things
in
TOR
and
to
our
strong
rates.
For
example,
when
people
were
throwing
trash
but
different
methods
like
just
a
a
mesh
grille
or
something
that's
removable
and
put
into
the
drain
that
keeps
a
lot
of
this
junk
anything
from
leaves
to
trash
and
general
out
of
our
system.
I,
don't
know
if
other
cities
do
it.
L
A
C
L
It
seems
like
a
like
a
fix
because
of
all
the
junk
that
got
into
our
system.
You
know
over
decades,
and
we
saw
that
when
we
didn't
clean
it
for
decades.
You
know
until
we
had
that
assessment
a
couple
years
ago,
but
that
should
be
an
easy
enough
way
where
you
know
the
grille
is
detachable,
so
if
they
have
to
pull
out
weeds
and
other
things
that
grow
through
there,
that's
it
I
mean
I.
L
Think
that
would
we're
not
talking
about
the
noise
of
the
of
the
leaf
blower,
but
at
least
what
is
being
blown
into
the
and
knocked
into
the
system
should
be
a
cheap
enough.
I
mean
I,
would
say,
go
to
Home
Depot
and
buy
the
mesh
and
put
it
there.
But
it's
I
mean
it's
it's
as
simple
as
that,
so
anyways
I
think
we
should.
We
should
look
at
that.
I,
don't
know
you
know.
The
EPA
website
offers
different
solutions
from
New
York
to
Los
Angeles
of
what
they
do.
L
B
Well,
you
know
in
a
lot
of
areas
a
lot
of
communities.
You
know
gas
is
a
big
thing
and
we
talk
about
jobs
and
he
would
be
hard-pressed
it's
talking
about
putting
a
mandate
for
electric
because
were
you
gonna
get
the
electric
from
if
you're
a
contractor
or
a
small
business
owner
where's
the
electric
gonna
come
from?
B
Are
you
gonna
pump
in
to
cut
the
grass
more
now
I
I
do
get
frustrated,
I
see
the
blowers
that
sometimes
hit
might
hit
my
car
too,
but
for
to
put
a
ban
on
gas
and
go
to
electric
I.
Think
that's
gonna
hurt
a
lot
of
small
businesses
a
lot
of
people
in
general.
That's
why
I
could
I
couldn't
really
support
that,
but
I
can
look
at
maybe
doing
something
far
as
the
blower
gets
mesh
sort
of
drains
issue,
but
the
force
just
going
Street
electric,
that's
gonna,
be
hard-pressed
for
me.
I
can.
A
A
Still
makes
a
power
pack
where
they
have
different
attachments
like
a
blower,
a
line
trimmer,
and
so
the
initial
cost
of
that
equipment
is
like
$1500
to
set
it
up.
You
know
this
is
commercial
stuff
I'm
talking
about
so
you
take
I'll,
give
you
a
snapshot
of
neighborhood
enhancement.
We
would
need
32
of
those,
and
the
initial
cost
would
probably
be
of
just
right
around
$48,000
and
then
the
life
depending
on
use
the
battery
packs
camp.
You
know
they
can
be
recharged,
but
then
they
lose
it
within
two
years.
A
So
you
have
a
recurrent
course
of
$25,000
every
couple
of
years.
But
when
you
look
at
practicality
for
what
my
enhancement
people
do,
they
deal
with
a
lot
of
overgrown,
Lots,
overgrown
alleys
and
the
manufacturer
of
this,
and
is
a
local
distributor
of
this
product.
They
advised
us
that
they
would
not
recommend
for
the
job
that
we
do
to
go
to
electric
go
to
go
to
these
Power
Packs,
because
they're
not
geared
up
for
that
dig
they're
geared
up
for
properties
that
are
well
manicured.
A
M
It
it
sounds
like
maybe
there's
not
consensus
to
Swit
to
mandate
switching
to
electric
I,
don't
know
how
you
all
feel
about
hours
of
operation,
but
the
big
issue
to
me
here
is
is
dumping
all
this
waste
in
the
street
in
councilman
Randa.
You
know
brought
up
some
other
points
about
how
much
how
much
the
city
has
to
treat
and
take
the
spin
to
take
this
out
when
we
get
to
the
motion.
M
K
C
I
think
the
ours
is
definitely
if
we
don't.
If
we
don't
include
hours,
we
should
we
limit
hours,
Rebecca
I
believe
for
construction.
I
can't
remember
exactly
how
the
code
reads,
but
it,
but
it
seems
to
be
the
same
concept
and
it's
kind
of
funny
since
sometimes
on
a
Saturday
morning.
I
want
to
jump
out
of
bed
and
and
start
real
early.
My
wife
says
no,
that's
too
early
for
that
leaflet.
C
H
Just
wanted
to
say
that
you
do
you
have
hours
on
construction
activity
which
is
7
am
to
6:00
p.m.
Monday
through
Friday
8
a.m.
to
6
p.m.
on
Saturday
and
10
a.m.
to
6
p.m.
and
Sunday
in
the
Curt,
and
also
your
current
regulation.
21-9
protection
of
public
drainage
systems,
which
we
are
already
talking
about
already,
does
prohibit
it
from
the
streets
that
included
expressly
in
the
public
drink
drainage
system.
Excuse
me
I
apologize.
It
says
the
public
drainage
system
includes,
but
it's
not
limited
to
Street,
so
it
is
included
in
that.
H
K
J
Morning,
counsel,
Katherine
Coyle,
planning,
design
and
coordination
item
number
11
I'll
go
briefly
through
the
the
items
number
1
requests
receiver
report
on
overall
effectiveness.
This
is
related
to
the
dutrey
code
that
went
into
effect
June
1st
2019,
the
this
is
related
to
requesting
for
the
workshop
for
the
first
six
months
since
the
code
was
effective,
we're
actually
only
at
about
four
and
a
half
months
right
now.
The
the
programming
changes
is
to
give
you
a
quick
update.
The
programming
changes
in
our
Excel,
a
permitting
system,
have
been
made.
J
The
five
new
trust
fund
tree
trust
fund
accounts
were
created,
so
the
dollars
are
being
collected
as
of
June
1st
and
being
placed
in
the
five
separate
accounts,
as
opposed
to
the
one
original
city
account
the
tree
removal
zone,
reviews
for
tree
removal
zone
eligible
Lots,
or
that
has
been
added
into
the
building
permit
record
process,
and
so
that
data,
those
reviews
are
being
done.
The
data
is
being
captured.
J
There
are
still
two
pending
programming
related
items
for
our
Excel,
a
permitting
system
that
are
in
the
queue
right
now
with
our
Greymon
contractor
configuration
the
launch
of
the
tree
mitigation.
Planting
permit
that's
being
configured
to
release,
that's
the
one
that
actually,
you
pulled
the
permit
to
plant
off-site
on
someone
else's
property
or
within
the
planning
district,
and
then
the
configuration
and
launch
of
the
reporting
for
the
trz
data-
that's
collected.
J
Let's
see
for
variance
review
board
counts
as
of
the
effective
date
of
the
new
ordinance
that
hit
August,
20,
19,
September
and
October
hearings
for
VRB
all
the
applications
that
were
processed
to
the
variance
Review
Board
that
I'm
gonna
mention
were
for
grant
tree
removal
and
the
August
hearing
there
was
one
denied
and
one
approved
neither
were
appealed.
The
City
Council
September
2019.
There
were
no
variance
applications
submitted
to
remove
grand
trees
and
then
in
October
there
were
two
approved
to
remove
green
trees,
and
we
are
now
past
the
appeal
period
timeframe.
J
J
The
question
was
whether
or
not
we
could
have
some
type
of
affidavit
process
put
in
the
code
actually
was
adopted
with
it
included,
specifically
in
27
to
84
2.3
that
the
applicant
can
file
an
affidavit,
guaranteeing
that
all
pruning
works
will
be
in
accordance
with
ANSI
standards.
Those
are
the
accepted,
are
Bora.
Cultural
are
Bora
culture,
industry
standards,
the
our
breasts
that
go
through
the
training
will
be
able
to
do
that.
To
date,
we've
only
had
two
pruning
permits
that
have
come
through
for
specimen
trees.
B
Famous
general,
several
questions:
what
I
want
to
know
about
is
the
tree
Trust
Fund,
when
I
go
through
certain
communities
that
call
for
assistance
from
the
city.
It's
always
we
don't
have
any
type
of
service
to
assist.
So
I
want
to
know
what
services
do.
We
have
that's
just
some
of
our
elderly
seniors
who
call
my
office
all
the
time
that
the
trees
are
coming
on
their
house
and
they
can't
afford
to
have
their
trees
cut,
but
I
know
we
have
a
tree
trust
fund.
B
H
Prepared
today,
to
give
a
full
discussion
on
the
distribution
of
the
tree
mitigation
fund,
but
I
did
understand
that
the
question
that
was
previously
brought
forward
was:
can
the
tree
trust
fund
money
go
to
help
people
who
are
in
need
of
help
with
the
tree
services
and,
unfortunately,
because
I
know
cutting
down
trees
can
be
prohibitively
expensive?
The
tree
trust
fund
money
can't
be
used
for
those
purposes,
because
that.
H
That's
actually
a
that's
a
constitutional
due
process
right.
We
cannot
take
money
from
people
to
mitigate
for
something
and
use
it
for
different
purpose.
So
that's
actually
not
something
that
counsel
could
change,
and
my
comments
are
limited
to
the
tree,
Trust
Fund
in
particular,
but
when
we
collect
money
for
a
particular
purpose,
we
can't
spend
it
for
other
purposes.
Otherwise,
we'd
have
to
give
the
money
back.
B
B
I
think
we
need
to
come
up
with
something.
Gentlemen.
That's
a
big
issue.
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
tree
lovers
and
I
respect
that,
but
you
know
in
certain
communities,
if
you
drive
through
you,
have
limbs
that
are
hanging
over
in
the
streets
that
even
our
own
workers
are
not
cutting,
maybe
because
we
don't
have
enough
staff
to
cut
the
trees.
It
is
a
problem
and
when
I
have
senior
citizens
and
folks
that
just
can't
afford
and
then
all
of
a
sudden.
B
Now
we
have
a
storm
or
the
winds
come
and
these
things
fall
in
their
houses
are
falling
their
backyards
and
they
sit
there.
And
then
we
got
Cody
go
get
them
fine,
because
we
don't
have
money
to
help
them
or
there's
not
a
service
to
help
them.
I'm
I'm
lost
for
words
for
that,
so
I
I
think
we're
gonna
have
stab
looking
at
something.
I
have
something
established
to
help
citizens
in
our
community
with
these
issues,
because
it
is
a
true
issue
in
other
parts
of
the
city,
it
is
a
big
issue.
B
You
drive
down
on
Sanchez
Street
down
on
19
that
you
see
limbs
just
hanging
in
the
roadway
hanging
in
the
roadway
for
years
you
driving
itself
or
Springs.
It's
ridiculous,
it's
so
dark!
You
wonder
why
so
gloomy
over
there.
It's
so
dark,
there's,
no
sunlight
even
coming
into
the
place.
I
mean
simple
issues
that
we
need
to
address
and
find
a
way
to
help
people
help
communities
and
I.
B
C
C
So
I
don't
think
that's
an
opportunity,
however.
I
think
in
the
in
the
CRA
is
especially
we
might
have
some
flexibility,
for
example,
we're
providing
up
to
$15,000
for
people
to
make
quote
home
improvements,
okay,
if
they
got
a
bad
roof
or
a
bad
plumbing,
or
that
sort
of
thing
we
just
we
just
you
know
implemented
that
program
for
up
to
30
families
to
do
that,
I
think
we
probably
could
have
the
ability
to
expand
that
program.
C
If
somebody
has
a
tree
issue,
especially
if
it's
potentially
a
risk
or
danger
to
their
home
number
one
so
I
think
we
could
do
that
with
with
our
CRA
money
and
the
CRA
program
we
all
we'd
have
to
do
is
just
tweak
up
that
program
to
include
those
types
of
situations.
That's
just
my
opinion.
Obviously,.
B
C
B
C
That's
not
the
even
if
that,
even
if
the
the
base
of
the
tree
is
on
private
property,
when
that
branch
extends
out
over
the
out
over
the
street,
especially
if
it's
low
enough
to
we'll
be
hitting
trucks
or
whatever,
then
that
is
a
city,
responsibility
and
I
think
we
should
it's
a
matter
of
fact.
I
called
one
in
yesterday,
because
it
was
blocking
the
view
right
there
at
the
corner,
Cyprus
and
in
Armenia
was
blocking
the
view
of
the
of
the
of
the
traffic
light.
C
As
I
approached
the
traffic
light,
the
tree
was
hanging
so
low
I
couldn't
see
the
traffic
light.
I
knew
it
was
there
because
I
Drive
there,
often
but
I'm
thinking
to
myself
wow
somebody
could
get
t-boned
if
they
didn't
see
that
traffic
so
anyway,
so
I
think
we.
You
know,
we
all
need
to
be
vigilant
and
make
sure
that
that
department.
B
B
C
C
Obviously
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
time
today
because
we
have
so
many
items
on
they
workshop
agenda,
but
a
couple
of
things
number
one
I,
don't
know
if
you
mentioned
this,
but
but
but
I
I
acquired
a
view
of
in
the
last
couple
of
days
to
identify
how
many
grand
trees
are
protected,
trees
that
that
have
been
impacted
and
lost
in
my
opinion,
lost
or
taken
out
as
a
result
of
this
tree
ordinance.
Did
you
did
you
give
us
that,
as
part
of
your
report,
no.
J
That
is
part
of
the
reporting
I
mentioned,
there's
a
reporting
requirement
in
the
code
for
trz
trees
specifically,
and
that's
the
report
that
is
pending
programming
into
Excel
a'right
now
to
capture
because
we're
inputting
the
data
we
actually
built
it
in
there
to
actually
capture
the
data
in
the
in
the
system
and
now
we're
waiting
for
the
report
to
be
fully
configured.
So
we
can
pull
it
out,
but
it
is
specific
to
trz
trees.
Do.
J
C
I
know
I
know
a
couple
of
things
at
some
point:
I
think
that
this
council
needs
a
thorough
education
on
the
Nutri
code
in
terms
of
how
it
works.
That
became
very
obvious
to
us
about
a
week
and
two
weeks
ago,
when
we
had
a
couple
of
tree
cases
and
all
of
a
sudden
we're
all
sort
of
flying
by
the
seat
of
our
pants.
In
terms
of
saying,
is
this
rezoning
covered
by
the
by
the
trz
and
is
it
not
and
I
didn't?
C
J
H
We
had
also
requested
just
a
few
additional
minutes
as
part
of
this
workshop,
to
give
a
brief
explanation
about
the
tree
removal
zone,
otherwise
known
as
the
trz,
because
you're
starting
to
hear
some
cases,
not
a
thorough,
complete
tree
code
from
start
to
finish,
which
is
what
councilman
ding
Felder
was
requested.
But
when
you're
done
with
questions,
I
do
have
a
short
presentation.
Just.
E
H
You
come
on
Miranda,
not
about
what
I'm
about
to
talk
about
that
deals
with
the
state
law
and
I
know
that
everyone
would
like
to
talk
about
that
state
law
and
probably
have
a
lot
of
questions,
but
we'd
rather
introduce
we'd,
rather
speak
to
you
about
that
individually.
Rather
than
talk
about
it
today,
because
that
is
our
standard
course
when
we
have
pending
litigation.
G
M
Is
a
quick
question?
My
colleague
mentioned
the
the
tree
trust
fund.
The
a
lot
of
the
tree
activists
have
been
asked
about
the
status
of
the
I
think
there
was
an
audit
done
on
the
tree
trust
fund,
because
there
was
an
allegation
that
a
lot
of
it
was
swept
and
used
for
other
purposes.
Is
that
done?
What
did
I
miss
the
result
of
that
or
what's
the.
J
For
reference,
the
Planning
and
Development
Department,
we
assessed
the
fees
and
collect
them
through
the
building
permit
process.
The
parks
department
is
actually
allocated
the
money
to
spend
it,
so
any
auditing
and
reporting
would
come
from
them
on
how
it's
spent
we
do.
The
reporting
on
what's
collected
do.
E
Also,
I
think
that
periodically
is
supposed
to
report
to
us
the
finding
of
facts,
how
many,
how
much
money
was
collected
and
where
the
trees
were
planted
out
of
that
fund
I
believe
there
was
every
three
months
or
every
six
months,
I
forget
what
it
was.
I
found,
the
guy
who
brought
it
up
and
I
forgot,
because
I
knew
it
come.
J
D
Counsel,
if
you
could
turn
your
head
over
this
way
in
case
I'd,
because
I
don't
want
to
mention
the
lawsuit,
but
I
do
want
to
recognize
that
there's
some
people
out
in
the
audience,
because
Chelsea
Johnson
Miss
been
miss
Duncan,
miss
Kristen,
Morra,
TPPA
and
and
countless
other
people's
who
spent
so
much
time
on
this
tree
ordinance.
I.
Thank
you
very.
Very
much
is
the
most
legal
binding
and
most
environmentally
binding
tree
ordinance
in
the
country.
D
In
my
opinion,
however,
if
I
may
say,
Home
Rule
that
the
state
has
has
superseded
us
and
a
lot
of
things
and
there
may
be
a
lawsuit
against
us
now
and
if
people
are
concerned
about
our
tree,
canopy
I
suggest
you
call
your
state
representatives
and
your
state
legislators
state
senators
and
tell
them
we
need
Home.
Rule
specifically
on
this
point
was
I
able
to
say
that.
D
C
All
right
so
I
want
to
I
want
to
dance
a
similar
tightrope,
because
I
think
it's
extremely
important
is
Beck.
You
hiding
back
there.
I
just
have
one
quick
question:
it's
not
related
to
any
particular
property.
It's
related
to
the
city
at
large.
It's
not
related
to
any
particular
lawsuit
or
any
particular
property,
but
you
and
I
were
chatting
about
this
yesterday,
but
I
think
you
have
at
least
anecdotally
an
approximation
of
how
many
trees
that
that
this
community,
this
city
has
grant
resor
large
protected
trees.
C
H
We
don't,
and
we
understand
again,
that
this
is
of
utmost
importance
to
this
council
into
all
local
governments.
It's
a
it's
a
very
big
issue,
but
well
this
lawsuit
is
still
pending
and
where
it
is
in
this
particular
time.
We'd
really
rather
not
have
any
comments
on
it,
because
I
can't
tell
you
whether
they'll
help
us
in
this
litigation
and
certainly
we're
not
trying
to
hide
the
information
I
think
it
should
be
available,
but
I'm
just
not
in
position
right
now
to
to
do
that.
Thank.
K
H
You,
council
can
Rebecca
Curt
assistant
city
attorney
I'm
here,
to
give
you
a
very
narrow
focus
of
the
changes
to
your
tree
code,
and
that
is
about
the
Grand
tree
removal
for
construction
activities.
So
these
are
non
hazardous,
non
dangerous,
grand
trees
that
are
being
removed
for
construction
activity
and
I'm,
going
to
do
a
very
high-level
high-level
review
of
this
and
explain
to
you
what
your
role
is
and
you're
certainly
going
to
be
seeing
a
lot
of
these.
Since
it's
when
you
look
like
four
months
ago,
you're
already
starting
to
see
these.
H
So
you
start
with
somebody
who
has
a
non-hazardous,
grin
tree
that
they
want
to
remove
it.
And
the
first
question
is:
is
a
lot
eligible
to
be
considered
for
a
tree
removal
zone?
So
the
first
question
is:
what
is
the
tree
removal
zone,
but
I'm
actually
going
to
get
into
that
in
a
second
and
I'm,
going
to
talk
to
you
about
what
Lots
are
eligible
for
consideration
on
that.
H
So
it
is
any
lot
that
is
65
feet
or
less
and
width
130
feet
or
less
in
depth
and
6,500
square
feet
and
lot
area
or
less,
and
it
has
to
be
all
three
of
those
if
you
are
larger
than
that
in
any
of
those
characteristics.
You
are
not
considered
eligible
lot
for
tree
removal
done
purposes
and
I
also
want
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
not
just
residential
lots.
It
was
a
policy
determination
nation
made,
but
it
was
all
small
lots.
The
same
policy
issues
applied
whether
it
was
commercial
or
residential.
H
There
is
one
nuance
that
it
is
not
Lots
that
are
within
the
Parkland
of
States
are
really
districts,
because
those
are
covered
by
a
state
law,
a
very
particular
area
in
the
city.
So
what
is
a
tree
removal
zone?
The
tree
removal
zone,
as
you
start
with
a
lot?
This
is
an
example
of
the
largest
lot,
so
it's
sixty
five
hundred
thirty
feet
and
you
start
with
the
setback
and
whatever
the
setbacks
are
for
that
particular
zoning
district.
H
And
then
you
go
five
feet
in
on
the
front
side,
side
street
in
corner
yards
and
ten
feet
in
in
the
rear
yards
and
any
tree
that
is
is
within
the
tree.
Remote
removal
zone.
Are
you
maximum
at
the
tree
at
the
tree?
Removal
zone
is,
is
located
within.
It
can't
come
out
administrative
Lee,
and
that
is
measured
a
DBH.
H
Is
it's
a
measurement
of
what
the
majority
of
it?
That
has
to
be
so
it's
a
trunk
return.
Yes,
I'm,
sorry
majority
of
the
trunk
it
has
a
better
than,
and
that
are
the
ones
that
can
come
out.
Administrative
Lee,
so
I
know
that
there
has
been
some
questions
to
you
about
that
I
also,
you
will
not
see
trees
that
are
eligible
for
the
tree.
Removal
done
because
those
can
come
out
of
administrative
Lee.
H
However,
if
you
have
a
healthy
tree
and
either
the
lot
is
intelligible
or
the
tree
is
not
within
the
tree
removal
zone,
they
will
come
to
you.
In
addition,
when
I
choose
within
the
tree
removal
zone,
there's
one
other
nuance
to
that.
If
you
are
building
a
particularly
small
structure
and
that
structure
can
be
placed
on
the
property
and
saved
that
15
feet
of
the
trunk
of
the
tree,
then
you
also
cannot
administratively
take
out
the
tree.
So
those
would
also
come
to
you.
H
Your
code
provides
a
list
of
consideration
factors
for
you
to
consider
when
you
are
actually
analyzing
these.
You
will
hear
them
either
through
a
review
hearing,
because
they
went
to
a
variance
and
that
variance
was
appealed
or
you
will
be
hearing
them
through
your
plan
development
issues,
the
major
things
that
you
will
be
looking
at
do
the
consideration
factors
is:
can
the
tree
be
saved
and
is
it
reasonable
to
take
those
methods
to
save
the
trees?
H
So
some
things
you
have
to
consider
is:
are
there
alternative
methods
of
construction
and
what
is
the
cost
of
construction?
What
is
the
health
of
the
tree
and
I
think
when
you're
hearing
all
that,
it
will
also
be
made
clear
to
you
that
you're
gonna
have
to
have
some
expert
testimony
on
that,
so
Natural
Resources
will
be
appearing
at
your
council
meetings,
and
you
hear
these
to
provide
you
from
expert
testimony.
H
So
you
can
understand
what
the
effect
of
moving
the
tree
will
have
on
the
crown
canopy,
the
overall
health
of
the
tree,
I'm
heating,
that
at
a
very
high
level,
because
you
will
be
provided
all
of
this
information
at
the
individual
hearings.
It's
gonna
be
very
fact-specific.
I
will
be
there
if
there
any
questions,
staff
will
be
there.
Are
there
any
factual
questions
and
we'll
work
through
that
at
this
time?
H
C
Thank
you,
Miss
Curt,
one
of
the
questions
I
had
is
in
regard
to
this.
Is
these
consideration
factors
and.
C
H
Right,
so
another
change
in
the
tree
code
is
that
an
allowance
was
made
in
changes
to
setbacks.
That
can
be
made
administrative
Lea
to
save
a
tree
so,
for
example,
up
to
25%
reduction
for
front
and
corner
yards
up
to
1/4,
foot,
reduction
for
side
yard,
40%,
reduction
for
rear
yard
and
10%
increase
for
building
height.
This
can
be
done
without
a
design
exception
and
without
coming
to
Council
and
without
going
to
the
BRB
in
order
to
save
a
specimen
trading.
In
other
words,
this
is
as
a
right
under
your
code
there's
an
additional
allowance.
H
It's
made
for
up
to
25%
for
side
yards.
That's
a
design
exception
to
what
that
means
to
you.
Is
it
as
an
administrative
decision
that
notice
is
provided
so
there's
an
opportunity
to
review
it,
particularly
with
side
yard.
You
have
a
lot
of
interaction
with
your
neighbor,
and
so
those
were
pulled
out
and
put
in
a
notice
public
hearing
process,
but
the
rest
of
those
are
allowed
as
of
right.
So.
C
My
question,
I
guess,
is
in
regard
to
the
interpretation
of
this
this
page.
This
provision
is:
is
this
something
that
staff
can
mandate
to
the
Builder
to
the
to
the
property
owner
to
the
developer?
In
other
words,
in
other
words
the
developer?
In
other
words,
can
the
developers
say
I,
don't
want
to
move
I,
don't
want
to
move
the
house
I
don't
want
to
be
closer
to
the
street.
I,
don't
want
to
be
closer
to
the
side.
I
don't
want
to
be
closer
to
the
rear.
C
This
tree
is
in
the
t,
RZ
area
and
therefore
I
want
to
take
it
out
or
in
the
alternative.
Can
staff
utilize
this
page
and
say
we
believe
you
can
save
the
tree
by
move
it
by
sliding
this
house
or
building
up
closer
to
the
street
and
that's
an
appropriate
thing
to
do
in
order
to
save
this
hundred-year-old
grand
tree.
These.
H
C
C
Okay,
and
maybe
if
we
slid
that
box
at
the
development
box,
if
staff
had
the
ability
to
slide
that
development
box
up
sideways
or
down
to
save
the
tree,
then
everybody's
purpose
is
served.
We've
saved
the
tree,
but
at
the
same
time
we've
saved
the
developer's
property
rights,
the
owners,
property
owners,
property
rights
by
allowing
them
to
build
that
same
home
just
slightly
elsewhere
on
the
lot.
C
H
You
certainly,
these
are
policy
issues
and
the
policy
issue
that
was
determined
is
that
there
needed
to
be
some
area
where
there
was
some
level
of
certainty.
That
was
the
policy
decision
of
the
prior
council
after
much
discussion.
Certainly
it
is
a
policy
decision
that
can
be
considered
and
I
did
neglect.
You
mentioned
that
everything
good
in
my
presentation.
All
these
handouts
was
created
by
kristin
mora,
who
we're
all
privileged
enough
to
work
with,
and
anything
that
you
did
not
like
I
would
take
responsibility
for.
K
Thank
you
very
much.
We
appreciate
that.
Okay,
next
we're
gonna
move
to
public
comment
on
item
number
11
and
I
understand
that
mr.
Freddie
Barton
is
here
who
was
going
to
comment
I
believe
on
number
12:15.
Excuse
me:
okay!
15!
Excuse
me.
If,
if
you
wish
to
come
forward,
sir,
you
may
mr.
Barton
and
anyone
else
who's
coming.
How
many
folks
are
here
to
comment
on
item
number
11?
If
you
could
raise
your
hands,
I
guess:
okay,
come
forward.
A
Hi
I'm
Mary,
Lou
Bailey
again
I
was
one
of
the
citizens
that
was
intimately
involved
in
the
street
code
for
multiple
years.
Actually,
one
of
the
things
that
I
don't
see
coming
to
fruition
bill
asked
about.
It
was
the
reporting
and
I
understand.
We
have
different
departments
in
the
city,
and
one
department
might
do
one
thing
and
another
like
they
collect
the
money
and
somebody
else
funds
the
money.
But
we
can't
let
that
stand
in
the
way
of
having
good,
solid
facts
and
transparency
about
what's
coming
in
money-wise.
A
Morning,
Steve
mcleaney
I
was
part
of
the
component
that
was
working
with
the
TB
ba
and
Chelsey
Johnson.
We
met
week
after
week
and
hammered
out
issues
at
her
home
also
here
in
Council
Chambers
and
at
city
city
staff
offices,
and
this
code
has
barely
taken
effect
and
to
start
making
changes
or
proposing
changes
before
it
even
is,
is
really
in
the
system.
I
think
is,
is
going
in
the
wrong
direction
and
we
just
need
to
give
it
time
to
work.
A
You
know
when
we
walked
away
from
the
podium
when
the
City
Council
adopted
this
code,
the
homeowners
and
the
neighborhood
associations
weren't
a
hundred
percent
happy
the
builders
and
the
development
community
weren't
a
hundred
percent
happy.
But
we
went
away
and
said
we
we
worked
at
it.
We
did
the
best
we
could
do
and
we
came
up
with
a
plan
that
we
thought
would
work
and
we
need
to
give
him
a
time
for
that
plan
to
work.
One
of
the
prerequisites
for
that
was
in
six
months.
A
It
was
going
to
be
revisited
to
see
what
what
had
happened
and
as
Kathy
coral
has
already
pointed
out.
Some
of
the
elements
haven't
even
been
integrated
in
the
system.
Yet
and
I
don't
fault
the
staff
for
that.
It's
just
as
a
very
large,
complex
problem
and
I
think
we
need
to
give
the
code
time
to
work.
A
So
as
far
as
making
changes,
I
would
say:
don't
don't
make
any
changes
now,
because
then
you,
council
chambers,
are
going
to
be
filled
again
and
we're
gonna
spend
another
two
years,
which
is
what
we
spent
last
time
two
years
working
on
developing
this
code
and
we
respect
that
there.
There
are
some
issues
that
may
come
up,
but
we
need
to
give
it
time
to
really
get
integrated
in
the
system
figure
out
how
we're
gonna
deal
with
it.
It's
not
perfect,
but
it
seems
to
be
working
so
far.
I,
don't
think.
A
C
C
Line
Steve
is
once
they're
gone,
they're
gone
and
I'm,
not
saying
the
ordinance
you
know
has
pros
and
cons
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
I'm
not
saying
I'm,
looking
to
change
anything
now
or
councils,
we're
gonna
change.
You
know
I'm
saying
that
within
a
few
months,
I
think
we
should
revisit
it.
When
we
have
some
numbers,
I
asked
Cathy
for
some
numbers.
She
said
she
doesn't
have
numbers
yet.
I
asked
Cathy
Beck
for
some
numbers
about
the
stack
state
statute
was
we
were
told
we
can't
have
those
that
discussion
today.
C
I
know,
there's
some
numbers
out
there
about
trees
that
have
been
removed
under
both
of
these
programs,
but
but
we're
not
we're
not
at
liberty
to
go
there
today.
But
my
point
is
they're,
not
just
numbers.
Some
of
these
are
very
very
large
trees
that
we're
losing
I'm
saying
we
should
always
take
every
opportunity
to
save
these
trees
and
to
protect
property
rights
in
a
balanced
form.
So
that's
my
point.
I
thank.
A
A
That
hasn't
happened
and
it's
managed
the
system
as
it
was
supposed
to
manage
it,
and
you
haven't,
had
people
come
in
and
say
absolutely
throw
the
baby
out
with
the
bathwater
so
anyway,
respectfully
requested.
We
don't
we
look
at
it
the
examine
it
if
there's
some
adjustments,
fine,
otherwise
just
leave
it
alone.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
O
An
engineer
and
a
lawyer
and
I
worked
many
many
hours
with
Ricky
Potter.
We
got
certified
arborist
and
we
went
through
dozens,
if
not
hundreds
of
scenarios,
because
our
goal
was
to
shrink
the
tree
removal
zone
down
until
any
tree.
That's
in
that
zone
and
you're
building
a
house,
it's
a
sure
thing
for
removal.
We
didn't
want
it
there
to
be
any
doubt
that
that
tree
could
not
be
saved
and
keep
the
property
owners
with
his
rights.
So
that's
why
the
tree
moves
on
it's,
not
the
buildable
area,
it's
much
smaller!
O
In
fact,
I
always
say:
I
defy
you
to
save
a
tree.
That's
in
that
zone
and
you're
building
a
house
that
fills
that
buildable
area.
It's
it
simply
is
not
reasonable.
It's
patently
unreasonable!
So
that's
where
the
tree
remove
his
own
came
from,
but
I
appreciate
you
guys
getting
educated
and
getting
smart
on
this
and
answering
the
hard
questions,
because
I,
don't
think
I
need
to
tell
you
if
a
tree
can
be
saved
I'm
here
to
try
to
save
it,
but
those
trees
in
the
tree
removal
zone
are
the
trees
that
can't
be
saved.
O
Even
the
most
ardent
tree
lovers
agreed
with
the
tree
removal
zone,
the
builders
we
all
agreed
so,
but
that's
it.
What
this
council
needs
to
do
is
you
have
to
be
fair
and
you
have
to
be
equitable.
As
you
apply
this
tree
code,
you
not
only
have
to
follow
the
city
code,
you
have
to
follow
state
law
and
ensure
that
no
property
owner
is
unduly
burdened
out
of
proportion
to
the
public
benefit.
So
that's
above
the
city
code.
You
have
to
do
that
or
our
code
will
be
thrown
out.
O
You
can't
make
arbitrary
and
capricious
decisions.
You
must
ask
the
right
questions,
get
the
briefings
from
Natural
Resources
from
the
staff
and
and
rely
on
their
expertise.
It
doesn't
matter
if
the
trees
in
the
Northeast,
Terrace,
community
or
Sulphur
Springs
or
the
tree
is
on
Davis
Islands
and
you've
got
the
die,
cut
recommit
e,
defending
it.
O
You
should
treat
each
citizen
fairly
regardless
of
where
they
live,
because
if
a
tree
needs
to
come
out
for
that
property
owner,
it
doesn't
matter
if
he's
in
the
poorest
neighborhood
or
in
in
stay
silent,
you've
got
to
be
equitable
and
ensure
that
substantial
justice
is
done
and
I.
Think
if
you
do
that,
then
our
tree
code
will
stand
up
to
scrutiny
even
in
higher
courts.
You
know
it's
and
planting
more
trees,
plant
more
trees.
That's
our
only
defense
right
now
against
11:59.
O
P
P
A
couple
things
one
a
councilman,
ting
Felder
and
others
that
are
new
to
the
council,
I
and
other
volunteers
met
over
hundreds
of
hours
with
the
building
community
to
come
up
with
what
we
felt
balanced,
keeping
our
canopy
and
property
rights,
and
that
came
about
from
many
many
hours
of
discussion.
Some
of
your
very
vocal
trio
advocates
from
the
Davis
island
tree
committee
came
and
spoke
in
support
of
it.
The
Builder
spoke
in
support
of
it.
P
Miss
Duncan
and
I,
along
with
some
other
volunteers,
have
gone
to
Jyothi
Laura,
one
of
the
original
writers
of
the
tree
code.
He
approved
our
idea
and
our
plan.
We
actually
at
one
point
had
empty
Keurig
boxes
that
we
were
taking
to
the
council
members
and
the
prior
ones,
and
other
volunteers
and
people
that
were
interested
to
demonstrate
how
the
tree
removal
zone
worked.
The
purpose
of
the
tree
removal
zone
is
to
incentivize
keeping
trees.
It
allows
for
builders
to
have
a
streamlined
process
to
move
a
tree
around
I'm.
P
P
It's
dealing
with
money,
but
that
was
why
I
was
here
today
was
to
ask
how
we
can
move
money
from
the
tree
trust
fund
into
the
tremendous
program
I
personally
applied
for
crape
myrtle
trees
to
help
mitigate
the
effects
of
HIV
11:59
and
it's
a
ten
month
waiting
period
for
crape
myrtles
due
to
a
lack
of
funding.
So
I
would
like
your
help
to
see
if
we
can
get
the
Parks
Department
and
the
tremendous
program,
some
additional
funding
may
I
have
30
more
seconds.
Okay,.
K
P
I
I
don't
know
how
to
do
that
I've,
but
I'm,
hoping
that
you
all
can
help
us
with
that.
The
city
of
Tampa
already
has
a
program
in
place
to
help
with
tree
mitigation
in
the
new
tree
code.
This
was
a
another
initiative
that
we
brought
forward
was,
and
it's
exciting
mitigation
trees
can
be
planted
on
private
property.
Trees
on
private
property
tend
to
be
well
cared.
Thank.
G
Good
afternoon
councilmembers
Freddy
Barton
executive
director
statements
on
Hillsborough
and
I
appreciate
you
letting
me
speak
a
head
of
the
workshop
discussion
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
re-entry
ordinance
and,
as
most
of
you
know,
Safety's
on
Hillsborough
we're
focusing
on
violence
prevention,
we're
trying
to
get
ahead
of
violence,
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
youth
in
our
communities
feel
safe.
Our
community
feels
connected
and
resources
are
made
available.
We
started
our
efforts
in
four
key
target
areas.
G
We
started
in
East,
Tampa
University
area
of
Plant
City
in
South,
County,
four
separate
communities
in
all
of
Hillsborough
County,
very
unique
in
their
own
right.
However,
one
thing
came
up
as
a
primary
concern,
and
that
was
we
need
jobs
in
our
area.
When
we
looked
further
down
into
the
data
it
was,
we
need
jobs
for
those
who
were
chronically
unemployed,
underemployed
and
those
who
had
barriers
to
employment,
including
ex-offenders
councilman
Carlson.
Thank
you
for
that
report.
One
of
the
things
that
came
out
from
that
report
is
we
see
that
we
have.
G
G
Unemployment
rate
is
at
six
point
four
percent,
however,
in
the
population
of
formerly
incarcerated
individuals,
the
unemployment
rate
for
those
who
have
been
recently
released
over
a
three-year
period
within
the
three-year
period
is
at
forty
six
point
four
percent,
so
we
have
to
do
locally
a
lot
of
work
in
order
to
make
sure
that
people
with
barriers
to
employment,
including
those
ex-offenders
or
returning
citizens,
have
opportunities
for
family
sustaining
employment.
Education
is
the
great
equalizer
for
economic,
empowerment
and
family.
G
G
The
city
of
Tampa
did
its
due
diligence
a
couple
years
ago,
thanks
to
efforts
by
hope
and
are
there
advocacy
groups
and
individuals
to
get
ban
the
box,
and
there
was
a
discussion
as
to
how
do
we
expand
that
effort
to
individuals
and
organizations
that
want
to
do
business
with
the
city
of
Tampa
I?
Ask
that
you
look
at
that
and
look
at
having
some
more
workshops
involving
the
community.
We
had
several
members
of
the
community
that
were
here
earlier
but
had
to
leave
when
we
look
at
the
data.
G
If
we
do
not
aggressively
address
reentry
than
we
will
see,
violence
in
our
community
increase,
we
will
see
criminal
behavior
and
we
will
see
our
recidivism
rates
increase
that
will
have
a
long-term
negative
effect
on
the
per
capita
base.
Here
we
are
in
the
city
of
Tampa
in
Hillsborough
County,
so
I
just
wanted
to
really
have
that
discussion
be
able
to
speak.
My
comments
and
I'd
love
to
be
a
part
of
the
discussion
and
certainly
weigh
in
on
the
report.
I.
B
It
could
be
anyone.
We
have
a
misfortune,
one
night
and
have
a
conviction
and
they
held
what
I
call
putting
the
foot
on
the
neck
forever
and
that's
why?
Hopefully,
this
afternoon,
we'll
get
a
lot
of
more
information
from
staff
to
how
we
can
implement
something.
So
we
can
take
the
foot
off
people's
necks
as
it
relates
to
housing
and
jobs.
Thank.
