B
And
before
we
start
this,
this
conversation
Rob.
If
you
don't
mind,
counsel,
if
you
will
indulge
me
on
this,
I
feel
like
compelling
that
if
there
is
any
members
of
this
board
that
are
having
sidebar
communications
with
anybody
who
is
presenting
anything
to
this
board,
if
they
would
be
kind
enough
to
come
back
to
this
board
after
the
sidebar
reveal
the
sum
and
substance
of
the
discussion,
because
there
may
be
information
within
that
discussion.
B
B
A
B
C
Souther
illegal
legal
departments,
what
I
did
is
there's
a
new
resolution
that
includes
both
the
city
to
see
all
three:
the
city,
the
CRA
and
the
group
that
with
whom
were
doing
the
contract
I
made
that
change
on
both
the
resolution
and
on
the
agreement
and
mr.
dick
fella
I
did
make
one
of
the
changes
that
you
recommend
that
I
think
it
was
you
that
the
they're
going
to
be
able
to
allow
to
assign
this
to
one
other
person.
C
They
have
one
other
entity
they
may
want
to
assign
the
agreement
to,
but
it's
one
and
only
one
so
we've
made
that
change
in
there
as
well.
So
those
were
the
changes
that
were
made.
The
major
one
was
basically
adding
the
city
to
the
agreement.
If
you're
disposed
to
approve
this
today,
it
will
come
back
to
you
as
City
Council
on
the
19th
and
I.
Ask
your
indulgence
that
I
will
have
been
sent
down
to
you
separately,
because
it
obviously
didn't
make
the
deadline
for
the
19th
hearing
and
that's
where
we
are.
D
F
G
H
B
D
D
If
it
gives
you
any
comfort,
I
understand
we're
gonna
go
forward
now
to
discuss
the
question
of
whether
the
agency
wants
to
continue
to
use
the
city
as
its
service
provider.
The
service
agreement
has
a
30
day
notice
of
cancellation
period,
so
our
suggestion
is
whatever
you
may
ultimately
decide
after
you
have
your
discussion
in
order
to
keep
things
moving
forward.
D
You
know
for
the
near
future.
We
recommend
that
you
approve
the
services
agreement,
understanding
that
if
you
do
decide
to
ultimately
no
longer
use
the
city
as
your
service
provider,
you
can
change
it
on
30
days,
cancellation,
but
I.
Think
part
of
the
discussion
will
help
make
clear
that
it's
it's
not
it
wouldn't
it
would
not
be
a
quick
change
that
could
happen
overnight.
D
Should
you
decide
to
go
the
private-sector
route,
so
we
are
requesting
that
for
now
you
go
ahead
and
approve
the
services
agreement
with
the
understanding
again
that
it
can
be
cancelled
and
one
thing
as
I
was
rereading
it
again.
One
of
the
questions
that
came
up
earlier
had
to
do
with
RFPs,
and
if
you
look
at
article
1
section
6
of
this
agreement,
my
apologize
I
didn't
catch.
This
sooner,
it
reads
for
agreements
related
to
projects
that
are
or
are
likely
to
be
funded
in
majority
by
TIF
revenues.
D
The
Department
of
urban
development
will
circulate
the
draft
scope
of
services
to
all
CRA
board
members
for
their
input
at
the
time
that
the
draft
scope
is
provided
to
CRA
advisory
committee
members
for
comment
so
I
think
that
may
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
were
discussed
earlier.
So
again
we
we're
I'm
not
advocating
which
direction
you
want
to
go
on
the
larger
question
of
private
versus
public,
but
I
do
we
do
think
that
for
now
in
order
to
keep
the
engine
moving
and
to
keep
the
budget
that
you
just
approved
able
to
be
implemented?
C
B
J
When
we
put
this
item
on
the
agenda,
I
think
item
number
5
or
10
a
couple
months
ago.
I
suggested
just
give
extending
for
30
days.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
a
possibility,
but
my
hopefully
we're
gonna
discuss
the
contract
at
the
end
of
this
other
discussion,
because
I
think
it
informs.
It
I
think
that
the
two
areas
that
I
have
the
most
concerned
about
are
number
one.
The
the
services
under
article
1,
as
we
I've
I've,
said
a
lot
that
we
need
to
focus
on
economic
development.
J
J
It
probably
should
describe
services,
but
maybe
it
should
say
as
an
addendum
with
the
intent
to
implement
the
strategic
plan
of
the
CRA
board
and
then
the
other
thing
is
the
the
biggest
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
say
my
biggest
issue
with
everything:
I:
don't
want
to
undo
the
whole
infrastructure.
That's
that's
here
and-
and
we
were
two
hats
so
I
certainly
don't
want
to
take
1.7
or
1.3
million
away
from
the
city,
because
we
also
wear
that
hat.
J
But
we
went
through
a
long
discussion
with
the
prior
attorney
about
jurisdiction
or
management
of
the
CRA
s
and
I
believe
strongly
that
the
CRA
should
have
its
own
employee
as
the
executive
director
and
and
right
now.
The
city
is
in
the
process
of
trying
to
hire
a
new
person
for
economic
development,
but
I
think
somewhere
in
this.
In
this
document.
J
First
of
all,
we
should
have
some
influence
over
who
we
work
with
and
how
and
some
some
guidelines
for
performance
and
not
that
I've
heard
complaints
is
just
that
if
we're
responsible,
we
need
to
also
have
that
response.
We
need
to
have
the
ability
to
deal
with
that,
just
like
any
service
agreement.
You
know,
if
you
have
a
service
agreeing
with
a
copy
machine
it
breaks
down.
J
You
expect
to
have
a
conversation
about
fixing
it
it,
but
on
the
on
the
executive,
instead
of
paying
for
half
of
an
executive
I
wish,
which
we
share
and
as
a
city,
employee,
I
wish
under
law,
we're
allowed
to
hire
our
own
employees,
I'd
like
to
hire
our
own
CEO
or
executive
director
and
then
and
then
the
the
contract
with
the
city
would
then
report
to
that
executive
director.
The
executive
director
will
report
to
us
that
way.
The
Kleins
of
communication
are
clear
and
we
have
our
own
dedicated
person.
J
If,
if
we
ask
lots
of
question
that
looks
like
it's
a
power
struggle
with
the
mayor
or
you
know
with
the
administration,
if
it
was
clear
that
we
had
a
person
just
like
we
do
with
the
city
council
attorney,
if
we
have
our
own
person
who
reports
to
us,
we
can
easily
coordinate
it
with
them,
and
then
they
would
be
the
point
person
to
coordinate
with
city
staff.
So
we
don't
have
to
take
up
as
much
city
staff
time
that
way
they
can
brief
us
and.
I
Those
are
great
comments.
You
know
one
thing
that
I
know
in
the
state
of
flux
that
we're
going
out
to
hire.
Obviously
someone
to
replace
the
economic
development
administrator,
which
is
going
to
have
a
lot
of
functions
underneath
a
lot
of
them
obviously
tied
to
this,
and
you
know
in
that
journey,
we
want
to
look
to
make
sure
we
cover
everything.
So
I
guess
part
of
my
feedback
would
be
I
heard
a
lot
of
process
opportunity
today.
I
You
know
from
from
our
side
the
management
side,
the
exchange
of
the
budgets
itemised
Mr,
O'hara
and
I
have
had
sidebars
about
what
we
can
see
to
do
to
approve
some
of
that
information
flow.
Is
it
a
reasonable
step
to
take
a
few
meeting
journeys
to
see
how
much
we
elevate
that
and
then
still
keep
that
consideration
in
mind
as
we
vet
through
the
growth
of
this
lane
under
the
city
administration,
you're
wanting.
J
J
Option
which
we
had
kind
of
discussed
preliminary
ly
in
our
earlier
discussions
is
we
could
we
could
take
this
whole
1.7
million
dollars
and
hire
own
staff
and
in
and/or
outsource
it
to
somebody
else
rather
than
the
city,
but
in
since
we
wear
two
hats.
We
shouldn't
do
that
because
it
takes
a
million
1/2
dollars
away
from
the
city,
but
to
hire
a
person
would
be
probably
somewhere
between
100
and
200
thousand
dollars,
and
so
with
that
to
have
a
dedicated
person.
J
I
think
the
issues
in
the
CRA
s
are
different
than
the
rest
of
the
city.
If
we,
you
know,
the
conflict
in
the
last
few
years
was
development
of
downtown
versus
everywhere
else,
or
working
on
real
estate
development
versus
everything
else
and
I
assume
the
mayor's
gonna
hire
a
fantastic
person.
I
think
all
the
hires
so
far
have
been
great,
but
no
matter
how
great
that
person
is
there's
a
whole
city
that
we
need
to
focus
on
it's
outside
the
CRA
s,
and
we
need
to
just
really
narrowly
focus
on
the
CRA.
J
We
need
somebody
who
takes
the
direction
that
we've
got
to
come
up
with
and
work
with
staff
and
the
outside
resources.
You
know
one
of
the
directives
of
the
legislation
and
other
things
about
CRA
s
is
that
they
have
to
focus
on
on
affordable
housing,
I
think
only
as
we
asked
them
last
time.
Only
a
couple
of
them
do
and
so
they're
going
to
have
to
this
person
is
going
to
have
to
coordinate
with
MS
McCleary
in
in
housing,
and
so
there's
all
these
opportunities,
which
really
I
think
is
a
full-time
person.
J
Maybe
it's
more
than
one
staff,
but
instead
of
trying
to
take
a
big
chunk
of
money
away
from
the
city,
if
we,
if
we
just
took
a
hundred
grand
or
two
hundred
grand
or
figured
out,
if
that
can
maybe
we
pay
the
1.7
and
then
figure
if
we
can
get
150
grand
from
another
source
but
hire
two
people
and
then
ideally
they'll
be
collegial
and
work
together.
But
they
have
two
different
purposes.
E
The
way
I
see
it
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
me
being
a
person
was
actually
been
a
city
employee.
You
still
have
a
boss,
mr.
Carlson
say
I'm,
never
in
number
for
taking
the
CRA
to
an
outside
management.
Company
I
think
they'll
be
bad,
I,
think
we'll
lose
money
in
the
end
he's
trying
to
suck
money
out
of
us.
So
I'm,
not
an
agreement
of
that,
but
I
am
in
favor
of
having
our
own
person
just
like.
E
If
you
have
an
economic
development
person
for
the
city,
that
person
has
a
lot
of
responsibility,
they're
working
all
over
the
city
versus
just
concentrating
on
a
CRA
and
that
way,
if
you
do
have
our
own
economic
person
for
our
CRA,
there's
accountability,
more
accountability,
performance
evaluation
of
the
managers
performance
evaluation
of
that
person
that
we
choose
to
hire
then
make
sure
that
the
vision
is
carried
out
across
the
board.
I,
don't
think,
there's
anything
in
the
service
agreement
that
talks
about
any
performance,
evaluations
at
all
and
I.
Think
that's
not
a
good
sign.
E
Everyone
has
to
be
accountable,
I'm,
accountable
to
the
voters
and
I.
Just
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
implementing
some
policies
within
the
service
agreement
that
talks
about
that
I'm
for
hiring
and
I'm
a
person
that
will
be
over
our
managers
and
be
able
to
coordinate
with
city
staff
and
have
perform
evaluations.
H
H
This
meet
personally
I
may
be
wrong,
but
when
you
go
sitting
as
a
CR,
a
member
of
the
city
and
you
go
to
a
CRA
meeting,
whether
you
say
one
word
or
not,
that
may
or
may
not
change
the
balance
of
whoever's
gonna
vote
and
whichever
way
they
go
to
vote
because
an
elected
officials
there
I
stay
away
from
that,
I
never
have
been,
and
you
can
find
me
wrong.
I
don't
ever
require
going
to
one
of
them
and
I.
H
Do
it
with
a
reason
with
intent,
I
stay
away,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
do
the
same
thing
with
developers.
I
don't
know
she
develops
into
off
to
see
what
plans
they
got
I
stay
away
because
they're
gonna
appear
before
me,
and
but
the
CRA
is
very
special.
It's
to
help
the
neighborhood's
as
better
and
he's
saying
that
I
will
never
vote
for
another
CRA
to
be
formed
because
last
year
loan
goes
ahead
of
25
million
dollars
of
the
budget.
H
And
what
happens
is
this
when
we
talk
about
what
happened
in
the
past?
And
why
is
something
going
to
one
place?
Let
me
put
it
back,
so
everyone
can
understand
if
the
solid
waste
department
gonna
do
a
clean
up,
do
they
do
one
house
here
and
one
house
there,
one
house
here
when
I
was
able
to
do
one
in
neighborhood
at
one
time,
so
people
could
see
the
difference,
see
a
change
when
you're
going
to
built
the
subdivision
and
you
got
500
acres.
You
put
one
in
500
acres
over
there
and
the
other
one.
H
At
every
point.
You
don't
see,
nobody
know
you
put
them
there.
People
go
see
change
when
you
go
develop
a
neighborhood.
Do
you
build
one
house
in
one
block
we
built
ten
of
the
problem
is
today
most
of
us
don't
even
know
who
your
neighbors
are
because
a
way
of
life,
the
inventions
that
are
great
for
society,
but
people
can't
communicate
anymore.
H
When
you
look
in
the
morning
who's
riding
a
bus,
you
see
other
kids
texting
each
other
and
right
next
to
each
other.
We
live
in
a
great
world,
however.
I
just
feel
that
once
you
start
taking
parts
of
what's
been
working,
and
it
has
worked
that
I
know
of
this
CRE
in
Tampa
has
never
had
any
great
problems
from
any
other
government,
including
the
state
and
federal
level.
However,
look
at
other
areas
in
this
state
and
there
is
a
difference,
not
all
of
them,
but
some
had
some
problems.
I
just
feel
that
whoever
the.
H
We
still
have
the
right
to
say:
you
know
what
and
ain't
working
find
another
one
he
or
she
when
you
start
taking
apart
one
little
screw
out
of
an
engine
that
engine
is
not
going
to
travel
very
far
when
you
have
an
individual.
That's
on
this
hard
by
the
CRA
Board
and
the
managers
hired
innocent
by
the
city,
and
it's
not
1.7
million
coming
at
a
city
budget,
its
1.7
million
coming
to
see
are
a
budget
that
would
affect
somebody
else's
life.
The
city
may
not
be
funding
all
of
it,
but
there's
a
lava
des.
H
That's
done
that
you
don't
even
see
that's
not
for
free
and
when
we
start
messing
around
with
that
and
it
will
be
1.7
it
maybe
2.7
that
you
gonna
take
out
of
CRA
and
what
are
you
going
to
do?
Then?
The
1.7
is
about
a
50/50
match,
I,
maybe
3.4
mathematically.
So
what
I'm
saying
is?
Beware
what
you
do
for
change.
If
that
change
may
come
back
to
say
you
know
what
I
air
it
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
making
an
error.
H
K
The
matter
is
just
about
hiring
our
own
executive
director.
If
that's,
what
we
call
it
that
person
would
be
I
would
consider
them.
You
know
fair
and
impartial,
not
beholden,
to
anyone
else
outside
of
the
information
that
that
person
would
give
the
CRA
you
know.
Up
until
now,
we've
had
the
Economic
Development
Director,
that's
you
know
paid
in
50/50,
but
that
person
is
very
close
to
the
mayor.
I
remember
as
I
was
chairman
for
the
last
unit.
Usually
people
would
tell
me
you
don't
realize
the
power
that
you've
had
you
have
your
own
attorney.
K
You
have
your
own
staff,
you
don't
have
to
answer
to
the
other
side
and
we
didn't
abuse
that
power
of
the
CRA
board,
but
moving
forward.
If
this
is
well
we're
talking
about
one
position,
we're
not
talking
about
changing
the
entire
staff,
but
someone
that
oversees
the
managers
I
think
it
would
be
a
more
efficient
process
because
we
go
to
one
person
that
gives
us
the
information
and
that's
it.
You
know.
That's
already
done
the
communicating.
Just
like
the
chief
of
staff.
I
mean
you
oversee
all
the
other
departments,
but
should
I
have
a
question.
K
A
L
Councilman
Carlson
talked
about
with
having
potentially
an
employee
dedicated
solo.
Yes,
I'm,
certainly
open
that
idea.
I
think
that's
you.
Obviously
things
would
have
to
be
fleshed
out
more
specifics,
etc,
etc,
but
I
I
I,
don't
think
that's
an
unreasonable
request,
given
some
of
the
concerns
that
have
arisen.
I
think
that
it
can
alleviate
some
of
the
concerns
of
CRA
members
etc
and
and
bring
more
openness
and
positivity
into
the
CRA
s.
L
These
are
types
of
things
that
can
be
addressed
with
the
tools
in
the
system
that
we
presently
have
a
radical.
In
my
opinion,
radical
departure
from
what
we
have
right
now
is
something
that
is
not
warranted.
We
have
not
exhausted
all
the
remedies
that
we
have
in
our
hands.
This
this
employee
may
be
one
of
those
remedies,
and
so
that's
certainly
something
that
I'm
open
to
looking
at.
But
you
know
we
we
have
very
good
I.
Believe
CR
is
here
in
the
city
of
Tampa.
L
A
lot
of
the
stuff
that
you
hear
coming
out
of
Tallahassee
is
not
or
should
not
be
directed
here
at
the
city
of
Tampa
I.
Think
by
taking
radical
departures,
we
send
the
wrong
message
to
Tallahassee
to
those
folks
who
do
not
respect
local
rule,
which
is
that
we
are
deviating
from
the
system
that
works
and
that
can
be
improved,
but
within
the
confines
of
the
system,
as
we
know,
it
I
think
that
maybe
hiring
an
additional
employee
solely
dedicated
to
the
CRA
works
within
that
system.
G
You,
mr.
chairman
Thank
You
mr.
Bennett
a
couple
things:
it's
it's
funny
bill
as
I
was
going
through
this
last
night,
I
wrote,
I,
wrote
myself
a
note
and
I
said
dedicated
CRA
manager,
question
mark
I,
hadn't,
taken
it
to
the
level
that
you
suggested.
Although
I'm
hearing
some
good
things
about
it
and
I
think
we
would,
if
we
did,
that
and
I'm
not
opposed
to
it.
G
I
think
it's
kind
of
neat
idea,
but
if
we
did
it
I
think
we'd
have
to
get
agreement
from
the
city
as
our
the
city,
as
our
contractor
modify
the
service
agreement
slightly
to
be
abundantly
clear
that
if
that
person
is
going
to
be
in
that
position
answering
directly
to
us,
there's
a
chain
of
command
can
concern.
I
have
those
six
or
eight
folks
out
there
right
now
answer
to
you
and
the
mayor,
but
if
we
all
sudden
inject
this
new
person
who
answers
to
us,
we're
gonna
have
to
figure
that
out.
Perhaps
in
writing.
G
G
Yeah,
okay,
let
me
run
through
a
couple
of
things.
Mr.
Vieira,
in
regard
to
the
bigger
item,
that's
that's
on
item
three
and
item
ten
and
I
brought
that
up,
probably
at
the
first
seer
I
mean
I
I
had
I
had
I
had
a
chat
with
a
senior
manager
in
the
city
recently,
who
has
done
great
things
in
that
particular
in
that
person's
department
and
that
senior
manager
said
you
know.
Sometimes
in
these
bureaucracies
you
just
have
to
shake
things
up
a
little
bit
to
get
some
positive
movement.
G
Mr.
Bennett
might
might
be
familiar
with
with
the
person
I'm
talking
about,
but
but
the
bottom
line
is
is
at
the
end
of
the
day.
That's
that's
why
I
made
the
motion?
That's
why
I
put
this
on
the
agenda
is
to
remind
ourselves
to
remind
the
city
to
remind
the
community
as
bill
said
that
the
buck
stops
here
if
something
screws
up
in
the
CRA.
Okay,
that
gentleman
to
get
typing
against
the
wall
over
there
is
going
to
be
asking
us
about
it,
and
therefore
we
do
need
to
take
more
responsibility
and.
F
G
What
we're
doing
so,
I
think
it's
a
good
discussion.
I'm
not
advocating
today.
I
think
that
this
is
a
new
administration
I,
like
the
the
tone
that
we've
been
hearing
in
all
sorts
of
directions
from
this
administration.
I
think
we
can
modify
and
tweak
and
refine,
and
that's
what
that's
where
we
are
today,
but
I
liked
your
suggestion,
bill
I,
think
a
dedicated,
CRA
manager,
kind
of
similar
mark
Martin
Shelby,
who
you
know
who
answers
to
us
is
a
is
a
is
a
good
idea,
just
some
other
little
little
issues.
I
mentioned
earlier.
G
G
You
know
something
nominal
like
fifty
thousand
dollars
as
an
administrative
budget
for
those
types
of
issues-
audits,
sour
anybody,
who's
been
around
a
long
time
on
this
I
I,
don't
recall
seeing
any
audits
in
terms
of
the
the
individual
series
or
the
or
the
CRA
as
a
whole.
There's
a
city,
audit
staff,
audit
audit,
this
group
or
it
and
then
the
next
question
to
the
to
us,
is:
should
we
have
any
kind.
C
Sounds
for
the
legal
department
there
is.
A
financial
audit
is
done
every
year
for
the
city.
You
are
included
as
a
separate
item,
but
it's
an
independent
audit,
that's
included
with
the
actual
audit
document,
but
it
is
separate.
That's
the
financial,
that's
the
financial
audit.
As
far
as
a
performance.
G
C
G
Well,
I
mean
I
always
find
this
meant,
for
you
performance
audits,
very
valuable
department
by
Department,
because
they
always
do
fine.
You
know,
usually
they
don't
find
anything
huge,
but
sometimes
they
find
some
little
things
and
they
work
with
the
department
to
fix
those
and
I
think
that
would
be
healthy
for
us
to
figure
out
how
to
do
that
in
the
final
comment
I
have
and
bill.
This
relates
a
little
bit
to
where
you
were
headed
this.
G
The
individual
districts
come
up
with
their
own
strategic
plan,
but
this
body
realize
you
know
talking
about
things
like
affordable
housing
and
economic
development
and
those
big
picture
things
this
body
needs
to.
We
need
to
go
into
a
retreat
with
a
facilitator
and
come
up
with
our
own
strategic
plan
is
what
is
the
strategic
plan
for
the
CRA
of
Tampa
as
a
whole?
And
that's
that's
my,
but
obviously,
if
we
have
somebody
on
board,
they
can
help
facilitate
that
process.
Councilman.
G
F
J
In
several
short
comments,
what
councilman
Miranda
said
about
influence
or
intervention
in
the
in
the
in
the
individual
series
came
up
in
that
grand
jury
report
that
I
sent
you
all
to.
So
it
can't
look
like
you
know,
we're
trying
to
use
as
little
fiefdom
zatt
our
districts
or
anything
like
that.
So
we
we
do
need
to
be
mindful
that.
J
That's
again,
why,
if
we
have
a
full-time
person
that
we
could
work
on
that
just
a
couple
ideas
about
about
the
habit
of
having
a
full-time,
CRA
executive
director
I
would
call
it
because
we
want
to
senior
pretty
senior
level
person
I
think
number
one.
It's
you
kind
of
alluded
to
this
kazman
doing
probably
it's
a
two-way
street.
So
if,
if
the,
if
the
mayor
and
chief
of
staff
and
the
and
the
staff
of
the
CRA,
don't
like
the
person,
they're
gonna
give
us
feedback
and
say
well
we're
gonna
pull
out
the
contract.
J
The
other
thing
did
you
hear
that
part
mr.
Bennett
said
there's
a
two-way
street.
The
other
thing
is
that
maybe,
if
we
get
down
to
doing
this,
we
could
propose
formally
or
informally
that
chief
of
staff
in
the
mayor
would
have
at
least
a
courtesy
in
an
interview
with
the
person
to
make
sure
they.
The
person
is
compatible
because
there
there's
not
a
direct
reporting
structure,
but
the
person
has
to
be
able
to
get
along.
It's
like
our
legislative
aides
and
Marty.
You
know
Marty
has
to
be
able
to
get
along
with
the
city
attorney.
J
Our
legislative
aides
have
to
be
able
to
get
along
with
the
other
staff
and
to
that
point
three
of
us
were
on
the
Charter
Review
Commission
and
our
attorney
was
on
the.
So
four
of
us
were
on
the
Charter
Review
Commission,
and
one
of
the
things
we
did
maybe
miss
can
can
tell
me
exactly
what
we
did,
but
one
of
the
things
we
did
is
we
expanded
the
ability
of
City
Council
to
hire
its
own
staff.
J
You
know,
part
of
the
discussion
was
that
we
said
well
in
the
future,
as
the
city
grows,
maybe
maybe
maybe
we'll
need
more
than
than
just
the
staff
we
have
now
and
I.
Wonder
within
so
that
the
options
are
we
as
the
CRA,
the
prior
tourney
told
us
that
we
could
just
hire
our
own
staff
person,
but
we
don't
have
HR
and
all
of
that,
so
we
could
also
a
second
option.
J
We
could
do
a
deal
like
you
do
with
Marty,
where
he's
a
I
think
he's
an
independent
contractor,
but
we
hire
him
and
he
acts
like
a
staff
person.
But
a
third
option
might
be
that
there's
a
separate
contract
between
CRA
and
City
Council,
where
the
CRA
pays,
the
City
Council
fund
for
staff
and
and
then
the
person
is
an
employee
just
like
our
legislative
aides,
but
is
funded
through
the
City
Council
staff.
J
So
just
another
another
thought,
and
then
there,
when
we
talk
about
strategic
planning,
others
things,
maybe
we
can
make
motions
regarding
all
of
that,
but
any
shall
we
make
a
motion
about
about
hiring.
It
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
that
we
investigate
hiring
an
executive
director
that
that
reports
directly
to
us
and
I,
don't
know
who
we
would
ask
to
do
that.
But
what
the
structure
is.
J
I
I
I
think
you
know
what
I
was
trying
to
do
is
distill
all
the
conversation
down
to
one
word,
as
I
always
do,
and
it
all
comes
back
to
what
problem
are
we
trying
to
solve
and
that's
accountability,
and
we
try
and
do
that
through
the
three
e's
that
I
always
talk
about:
efficiency,
effectiveness
and
equity.
We
want
to
make
sure
each
CRA
gets
with
their
best
needs
and
best
outcomes.
I
We
want
to
make
sure
we
do
it
as
efficiently
as
possible,
which
has
been
said
over
and
over
again
to
get
the
best
value
for
our
dollar.
We
also
know
there's
a
lot
of
in-kind
services,
as
councilman
Miranda
mentioned
that
go
on
line
item
until
you
see
those
line
items
in
a
different
model,
so
there's
the
efficiency
part
and,
ultimately,
the
effectiveness
is
to
get
the
job
done
in
that
level
of
accountability.
We're
talking
about
I
think
this
is
a
good
move.
I
I
really
do
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
to
keep
the
wheels
of
government
moving
for
all
the
reasons
we
know
based
on
the
budget
you
approved.
This
is
no
small
system.
This
CRA
model
it's
a
big
city.
It's
a
big
CRA.
We
have
that.
You
know
obviously
all
the
different
CRA
s
I
know
we
have
a
dedicated
managerial
staff
that
wants
to
prove
their
level
of
accountability
back
to
the
CRA
board.
Working
with
you,
I
see
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
growth
and
to
keep
using
that
word.
I
E
Told
people
when
he
come
to
me
about
John
bill
I
said
well,
you
know,
John
has
his
ways,
but
what
they
I
can't
say
he
tried
to
find
solutions
to
the
problems.
There's
a
side
bar.
Nobody
came
up
to
me
and
told
me
about
one
of
our
parks
that
I
have
on
the
south
end
of
town
and
told
me
that
the
memorandum
that
I
received
from
the
community
he's
still
assembled
all
the
staff
and
refers
to
those
issues,
and
he
has
questions
of
why
these
things
have
not
been
done
over
the
years.
E
Why
standing
water
and
some
type
of
a
breeze
haven't
been
built
over
the
water?
We
have
standing
water,
so
I
I'm
a
problem
because
you
doing
things
there's
got
to
be
done.
People
want
accountability
for
the
services
in.
If
we're
in
charge
of
a
city,
people
paying
taxes,
you
know
and
those
who
don't
pay
taxes
they
live
here.
They
deserve
to
still
have
a
place
to
be
enjoyed.
So
I
applaud
you
up
first
and
you,
sir
glad
we're
working
together
again.
He's
amazing
thank.
I
J
The
staff
or
someone
to
give
us
a
recommendation
on
how
we
can
go
through
some
kind
of
strategic
planning
process
to
make
sure
that
we're
giving
guidance
to
the
CRA
s,
to
follow
the
the
law
and
and
the
boundaries
are
directives
that
we
think.
Otherwise,
what
happens
they
they
keep
coming
up
to
us.
You
know
we
and
we
have
long
discussions.
A
B
I
would
first
like
to
say
this,
then,
having
been
a
member
of
a
group
of
people
that
had
to
see
Ras
first
under
the
leadership
of
mr.
Fitz
Pardo,
the
ambassador,
the
mayor
of
Ybor
City,
then
with
miss
Courtney
or
I,
learned
a
lot
about
CRS
I've
seen
the
way
they
structured
listening
listening
to
the
citizens
of
those
CRS.
First
then
having
them
go
to
then
having
those
ideas
go
to
committee
and
then
approval
by
the
boards
after
they
got.
The
approval
by
the
board
said
then
came
to
this
board
for
final.
B
Where
the
buck
stopped
and
I
am
glad
that
I
had
those
eight
years
to
see
how
CRA
is
work
and
the
great
things
that
could
be
done,
especially
in
Ybor
City,
not
only
business,
entertainment,
residential,
but
the
great
things
that
CR
is,
can
do
and
I'm
glad
I
have
those
eight
years
of
service
I
still
go
back
to
see
re
board
meetings
only
to
hear
public
discussion
once
a
motion
is
made
and
miss
Courtney
or
will
attest
to
this
I
stand
up
and
say
I'm
out
of
here.
I
will
talk
to
you
later.
B
G
Business
new
business,
Thank
You
mr.
chairman,
as
I,
alluded
to
earlier
I,
received
an
email
from
the
Cuban
Club
and
its
Chairman
Patrick
Montague.
You
know:
they've
been
working,
Patrick's
been
working
really
hard
with
his
team
to
do
millions
of
dollars
of
improvements
to
the
Cuban
club
and
I
know
to
tell
you
guys
about
the
great
history
of
that
building,
but
he
feels
a
little
constrained
in
terms
of
the
current
facade
program.
G
Apparently
it
even
went
worse
for
him
because
now
apparently
our
rule
three
point
three
point
three
says
that
you
can
only
come
back
for
$50,000.
Once
every
24
months,
I
wrote
back
to
Patrick
and
I
said
what
kind
of
money
do
you
need
for
your
facade
program
and
he
said
he
hasn't
priced
out
exactly,
but
it's
probably
in
the
neighborhood
of
$400,000.
So
with
that
at
that
basis
it
would
take
him
16
years
of
$50,000
every
other
year.
You
know
to
hit
that
level.

In
the
call,
the
retention
pond
capital
B's
temple
they're
all
over
the
place.
There
is
one
in
particular
that
the
community
has
been
talking
about
for
a
long
time.
I
know
mr.
stick
whether
to
die
on
the
heart.
We
get
a
conversation,
the
other
night,
I
drove
us
to
one
particular
area
and
I'm.
Looking
to
get
information
in
reference
to
this
particular
area,
I'm
gonna
put
a
motion
on
the
floor.
It
hasn't
for
about
nine
different
points
in
the
motion.
I
won't
read
them
all,
but
I
will
give
the
motion.
As
to
reference
to.
