Afternoon,
council,
Dennis
woo,
hero
interim
chief
financial
officer,
thank
you
for
having
me
here
today.
You
have
heard
the
mayor
say
a
few
things
about
this
budget
that
you've
been
presented,
that
it's
not
a
WoW
budget
and
doesn't
have
a
whole
lot
of
dazzling
things
in
it,
and
that's
certainly
true
you
heard
her
say
it
addresses,
deferred
maintenance
services
and
continues
to
shore
up
our
financial
condition.
You
may
recall
that
one
of
her
strategic
objectives
is
ensuring
our
financial
stability
and
this
budget
does
those
things.
E
You've
also
heard
the
mayor
say
there
are
wonderful,
wonderful
things
happening
in
this
city
and,
of
course,
they're
all
I've
seen
it
you've
seen
it
we're
experiencing
it
right
now.
We
anticipate
that
wonderful
things
are
going
to
continue
to
happen
in
the
city,
but
you've
also
heard
the
mayor
say
that
we're
not
out
of
the
woods
yet
and
we're
not
setting
aside
the
tumult
occurring
in
the
markets
in
the
economy
and
what
time
it
is
and
who's
done
a
report.
E
We
anticipate
continuing
major
challenges
ahead
of
us
as
we
go
through
the
next
couple
of
his
school
years.
You've
heard
some
of
them.
The
debt
service
payments
associated
with
bonds
that
are
over
20
years
old,
we
continuing
increase
in
health
insurance
costs
actions
taken
in
the
past
and
in
the
present
that
will
continue
to
have
a
recurring
impact
on
our
finances.
So
I
say
all
this:
to
sum:
the
budget
a
little
bit
of
a
mixed
bag,
it's
got
some
really
good
stuff
in
it.
E
B
E
B
G
You
mr.
chairman
John
Bennett,
chief
of
staff's
idiot
Tampa
great
question
great
timing.
We
just
received
notification
to
convene
as
our
executive
policy
group
at
the
county
at
a
time
certain
this
afternoon
to
start
making
decisions.
I
just
councilman
Goods
question
earlier
I
talked
to
the
fire
chief
he's
preparing
some
documentation
and
memorandums
to
council
to
make
sure
that
you're
well
informed
of
what
your
next
moves
are
and
how
you
can
better
help
us
communicate
with
the
public.
G
H
G
I
I'll
totally
go
Department
I
will
be
bringing
to
you
tonight
at
the
beginning
of
your
meeting,
a
resolution
dealing
with
the
possibility
of
us
not
being
able
to
hold
our
public
hearing
on
the
third.
What
we're
looking
at
right
now
is
basically
saying
that
if
we
can't
have
the
meeting
on
the
third
because
of
the
storm,
assuming
we
get
hit,
that
there
will
be,
the
meeting
will
be
moved
to
the
ninth.
I
But
that
also
means
you've
got
to
move
the
second
hearing,
because
there's
time
in
between
time
for
advertising,
which
will
probably
be
the
ninth
and
the
23rd,
what
I'm
gonna
try
to
do
is
draft
it
in
such
a
way.
That
gives
you
that
as
an
option
not
as
a
requirement,
because
if
the
storm
doesn't
hit
we're
going
to
continue
as
is,
but
once
this
is
finished,
I'll
run
upstairs
get
the
resolution
prepared
and
bring
it
back
to
you.
That's
at
tonight's
meeting
is
to
keep
you
in
the
loop
on
what
we
are
doing.
J
I
B
You
very
much,
sir
okay.
Usually
we
take
public
comments
after
we're
finished,
but
given
the
late
hour
that
we've
gone
into
as
a
courtesy
to
the
good
folks
who
wish
to
speak,
we
will
take
public
comment
before
so.
If
you
wish
to
speak
on
this
item,
please
stand
up
a
line
up
against
over
there
to
my
left
and
let's
begin
I.
I
I
I
Big
breath,

I
gotta
go
I'm

Thank
You
council
members
for
listening
to
us
this
morning
and
allowing
us
to
speak
on
what
too
many
of
us
here
and
those
of
us
that
were
here
earlier.
Those
that
can't
be
with
us
today
see
is
a
very
important
issue:
the
viability
of
Tampa,
Bay,
Arts
and
Education
Network
t
BAE
is
a
non
profit.
Award-Winning
production
house
that
for
over
25
years,
has
received
full
support
from
the
city
of
Tampa.
I
Inexplicably
two
years
ago
we
were
dropped
completely
from
the
city's
budget,
while
others
received
modest
diminished
contribution.
T
BAE
stipend
was
reduced
to
zero
I.
Am
the
creator
producer
host
of
the
telly
award-winning
Tampa
native,
show
the
broadcast
loyal
to
the
preservation
of
temp
was
amazing
history.
Most
of
you
have
appeared
with
me
on
that
telecast
and
privately,
all
of
you
have
expressed
gratitude
for
the
work
we
do
in
the
community
and
the
appreciation
to
our
dedication
to
tasks.
T
BAE
is
a
tremendous
asset
to
the
city
of
Tampa
and
her
residents.
Why
is
that?
I
Not
embraced,
why
are
they
not
embraced
for
the
incomparable
work
that
they
do?
No
one
is
producing
the
programming
the
TBA
does,
and
it
does
it
doesn't.
With
a
staff
of
three
three
of
the
hardest-working
employees.
I
know.
We
also
give
talented
students
you've
heard
from
today
from
USF,
HCC
and
UT
the
opportunity
to
grow
their
career
experience
with
internships.
We
are
here
today
to
show
strong
allegiance
for
the
restoration
of
funding
support
from
the
city.
We
all
love
and
hold
dear.
I
Just
listen
to
the
titles
of
some
of
the
award-winning
shows
art
off
the
wall
evening
tide
talks,
filmmakers,
spotlight,
innovators
in
science,
jolt
TV
steam
ahead
and
the
Tampa
native,
show
and
veterans
strong.
Imagine
if
you
will
the
city
of
Tampa
living
up
to
its
promise
to
promote
the
arts,
as
we
heard
along
the
campaign
trail
nothing
more
important
to
the
constituents
of
this
fair
city
than
promises
kept.
After
all,
the
a
in
TBA
e
stands
for
arts
with
so
much
growth
in
the
immediate
future
of
our
city.
I
We
feel
there's
a
great
opportunity
at
hand
to
share
that
good
news,
there's
so
much
work
to
do
there.
We
go,
and
no
one
is
positioned
better
to
do
that
than
t
BAE
YouTube
clips
alone.
Just
aren't
enough
to
tell
the
story
older
thumb.
Manuals
are
still
sitting
in
front
of
their
TVs,
enjoying
what
they
know
and
feel
comfortable
with.
I
Allow
me
to
close
by
once
again
saying
thank
you
for
your
hard
work
for
as
the
city
faces
challenges,
as
we
continue
to
morph
into
something
that
old,
timey
thumb,
peniel's,
really
just
don't
recognize
and
with
a
hurricane
bearing
down
upon
our
state,
there's
much
to
be
concerned
with.
Please
don't
leave
TBA
out
of
t
BAE
out
of
your
budget
plans
tomorrow.
We
thank
you
for
your
consideration.
I
lost
15
seconds
because
I
I.
I
My
subsequent
thought
to
all
of
this
was-
and
it
came
to
me
in
the
last
session,
while
we
were
talking
about
just
before
we
broke
for
lunch
in
this
time
of
emergency
and
awareness,
and
all
of
the
things
that
we're
going
through
here
is
a
community
t.
Bae
is
another
platform,
another
megaphone,
if
you
will
to
disseminate
information,
I
think
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
have
a
seat
at
the
table,
along
with
CT
TV
and
along
with
all
the
other
news
organizations
to
help
get
the
word
out
for
people
to
be
safe.
A
I
appreciate
all
of
your
time
I'm
a
recent
intern
with
Tampa
Bay
arson,
Education
Network.
It
has
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
them.
I've
met
some
people
who
are
extremely
dedicated
and
pleasure,
and
the
pleasure
to
be
with
just
like
I
said
as
a
staff
of
three
people,
and
they
are
highly
dedicated
and
very
attentive
to
the
network
and
the
internship
program
that
they
have
there
I
was
fortunate
to
meet
them
while
working
at
the
venue
that
the
Gasparilla
Gasparilla
International,
Film
Festival,
was
held
at
and
I
just
expressed.
K
Good
evening
I'm
Jessica
Sturgis
505
East
Jackson
Street
in
2009,
Tampa
educational,
cable
consortium,
better
known
back
then,
as
the
education
channel
accepted
me
as
an
intern
for
their
prominent
film
festival,
the
independence
Film
Festival.
My
job
was
to
screen
films
ranging
from
a
length
of
30
minutes
shorts
to
long
format,
documentaries
that
sometimes
accept
extended
to
3
hours
in
2013
I
was
hired.
That's
what
now
known
as
the
Tampa
Bay
Arts
and
Education
Network.
K
My
main
goal
was
to
boost
our
awareness
on
social
media
and
in
the
community,
and
I
also
got
the
opportunity
to
lead
the
internship
program.
Today.
Not
only
is
the
internship
program
thriving
with
most
recent
eight
students
from
uth
CC
and
USF
completing
over
950
hours
during
our
summer
program,
but
our
goals
of
producing
content
that
promotes
arts,
cultural
and
education
programming
is
overwhelming.
People
from
the
community
constantly
reach
out
to
us
to
either
create
a
five-minute
impact
film,
such
as
the
sidewalk
stompers
or
pitch
us
an
idea
for
a
new
one.
K
Our
series
that
focuses
on
african-american
history,
those
who
approach
us,
never
ask
us
to
create
a
90
second
piece,
because
that
is
just
not
a
realistic
amount
of
time
to
tell
their
stories
the
people
that
these
people
are
not
the
only
ones
who
believe
longer
format.
Programming
is
important.
Hbo
just
finished
a
successful
eight
seasons
of
Game
of
Thrones,
which
each
episode
was
one
hour
long
and
they
estimated
a
revenue
of
3.1
billion
dollars
or
how
about
AMC
The
Walking
Dead.
K
They
are
in
their
tenth
season,
each
episode
being
an
hour
long
and
who
knows
how
much
they've
received
in
revenue.
These
networks
don't
put
these
episodes
on
YouTube.
They
have
their
own
streaming
service,
just
like
us,
a
TV
ie.
Why?
Because
social
media
is
ever-changing
and
can't
be
controlled.
I
just
recently
deleted
YouTube
off
of
my
daughter's
iPad,
because
people
were
doing
the
Momo
suicide
challenge.
So
how
does
this
pertain
to
the
city
of
Tampa
or
its
government
body?
K
If
long
form
a
being
program
is
not
important,
then
why
are
the
Tampa
Tiger
Bay
club
forms
an
at
least
an
hour
long
or
why
are
the
presidential
debates?
At
least
two
hours
long,
why?
Because
you
can't
tell
your
story
in
just
90
seconds
and
I
respectfully:
ask
you
to
restore
a
Tampa
educational,
cable
consortium
or
TV
AES
funding,
so
that
we
may
continue
to
continue
telling
stories
that
are
important
to
your
constituents.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
Good
afternoon,
chairman
Vieira
and
honorable
city
council
members,
my
name
is
Glenda
Maidan
I'm,
the
director
of
programming
and
production
at
Tampa,
Bay,
Arts
and
Education
Network,
formerly
known
as
the
Tampa
educational
cable
consortium.
When
I
was
a
junior
in
high
school
at
lato,
high
school
I
had
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
mayor's
summer.
L
Job
program
I
was
assigned
a
receptionist
job
at
USF,
and
this
was
my
first
exposure
into
the
professional
world
and
it
gave
me
the
desire
to
be
professional
and
it
was
instrumental
in
creating
by
shaping
my
career
when
I
was
in
my
flash-forward
26
years
later,
and
this
summer
here
at
T,
BAE
I
got
the
chance
to
pay
it
forward.
I
was
able
to
hire
a
high
school
student
for
the
summer.
His
name
is
Dylan
la
la
Sarika
from
Blake
high
school.
L
He
wanted
to
be
here
today,
but
he's
in
school,
so
I'm
happy
to
say
he
had
a
great
first
experience
and
I
was
able
to
give
give
him
first
glimpse
of
the
professional
world
of
video
production
here
in
Tampa.
This
is
the
type
of
organization.
Qap
represents
we're
here,
not
just
as
the
cable
channel,
that
is
a
line
on
a
line
item
on
a
spreadsheet.
We've
been
keeping
up
with
technology
at
the
time,
so
we've
also
evolved
our
services
into
a
free
streaming
service
watch,
t
BAE
net.
L
Many
of
you
have
had
the
chance
to
come
to
our
studio
and
if
you
haven't,
please
do
it's
a
small
operation,
but
we,
but
you
can
plainly
see
that
we
utilize
every
resource
given
to
produce
meaningful
work
for
the
community,
whether
it's
preserving
the
story
of
a
local
musician
documenting
an
environmental
lecture
at
the
aquarium
or
helping
to
amplify
the
work
of
a
local
artist
to
wire
off
audience.
We
put
our
skills
talent
heart
into
every
project.
L
We
only
have
three
full-time
employees
well
than
shoulding
ring
this
vicious
cycle
of
wondering
if
we
have
to
close
our
doors
every
six
months
since
I've
been
working
there
since
2007,
because
arts
and
education
are
always
the
first
things
to
get
cut
out
of
budgets,
but
if
we
continue
to,
but
we
continue
to
do
this
work
because
we
love
this
community,
we
love
mentoring,
the
future.
We
love
being
able
to
help
the
other
local
nonprofits.
Here
we
can.
B
M
Gregory
Scott
Maiden
I
am
the
executive
director
CEO
president
caught,
which
will
also
engineer
at
the
Tampa
Bay
Arts
and
Education
Network
across
the
street.
Most
of
you
guys
know
me
I
appreciate
the
time
each
of
you
shared
with
me
to
talk
to
me
in
recent
times.
You've
all
are
well
aware
of
our
situation.
I
think
you're
all
well
aware
of
what
P
eg
channel
is
and
what
this
has
meant
to
the
community
for
over
30
years.
M
I
know
you're
all
so
most
of
you
are
been
connected
to
one,
or
at
least
one
or
maybe
more
of
our
programs
over
the
last
few
years,
even
mr.
Miranda,
so
I
don't
feel
the
need
to
go
into
a
lot
of
depth
about
really
who
we
are
I
think
you
guys
know
who
we
are
and
I
think
you
guys
know
what
we
do
so
before
you
I
have
two
handouts
here,
one
of
which
I'm
gonna
try
to
get
to,
but
I'm
gonna
concentrate
primarily
on
this
funding
allocation.
M
Here
we
are
requesting
to
be
put
back
in
to
the
nonprofit
funding
assistance
that
we've
received
basically
for
about
30
years.
We
need
that
money
to
buy
to
pay
for
some
new
employees
as
you've
heard,
we've
had
three
people
full-time
staff,
and
we
have
maybe
three
times
that
many
interns
alone
we
have
constantly
hearing
from
members
of
our
community
about
that.
M
The
stories
that
they
would
like
us
to
tell,
and
so
we
have
a
long
list
of
projects
that
we
would
like
to
develop
and
work
on,
and
that's
where
we
need
some
help
for
doing
that,
I
mean
maybe
a
full-time
in
a
part-time
editor
and
somebody
that
helped
me
shoot.
You
guys
I'm
sure
I've
seen
me
out
in
the
field:
I'm
the
CEO
but
I'm,
the
guy
carrying
the
camera
and
the
tripod
and
setting
all
that
up.
M
So
we
won't
all
wear
a
lot
of
hats
and
we're
looking
for
a
couple
of
people
that
can
kind
of
step
up
and
help
for
that.
We've
also
had
to
put
off
upgrading
some
of
our
equipment
over
the
last
couple
years
due
to
the
budget
cutbacks.
This
is
putting
us
into
kind
of
a
precarious
position.
We
take
very
good
care
of
our
equipment
and
we
really
leverage
our
technology.
M
As
far
as
we
can,
but
the
fact
is
that
computers
and
servers
they
do
have
a
finite
life
span
on
that
and
we're
approaching
the
end
on
the
all
those
things
right
now
so
without
being
able
to
replace
those
in
the
future
or
any
one
of
those
could
be
a
catastrophic
danger
to
us
at
the
moment.
So
if
we
were
able
to
get
this
I
mentioned
some
of
the
programming
that
we
would
like
to
do
in
the
in
the
future.
We've
heard
very
strongly
from
the
african-american
community
that
their
their
history
has
not
been
represented.
M
Well,
I
had
a
meeting
yesterday
with
Lois
from
the
NAACP
and
we've
agreed
to
partner
with
her
in
order
to
develop,
maybe
a
five-part
studio
series
on
african-american
history,
as
well
as
covering
the
n-double-a-cp
existence
here
in
Hillsborough
County.
We
also
want
to
continue
on
with
a
couple
of
our
arts
programs
art
perspective.
We
want
to
get
back
out
into
the
field
more
and
we
can
highlight
more
of
the
installations
and
art
projects
that
are
outside
of
our
studio.
M
We
have
a
very
successful
studio,
art
show,
but
that
does
require
artists
and
people
from
the
art
community
to
come
into
our
studio
and
that's
a
little
bit
hard
to
show
what
they
actually
do.
So
we
want
to
get
back
out
in
the
community
to
do
that.
Another
program
that
we
do
with
that
is
still
maker,
spotlight.
I
know.
A
couple
of
people
have
mentioned
that
today
and
from
filmmaker
and
spotlight.
This
is
another
one:
we've
won
award
for
so.
D
Last
two
years,
you've
been
zero.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
you
provided
just
for
the
record
I
think
at
least
one
document
today
that
speaks
to
how
you
would
utilize
that
$100,000
for
various
programming.
So,
and
can
you
go
through
a
little
bit
of
programming
at
the
bottom
there,
the
what
you've
highlighted
that
african-american.
M
M
So
we're
looking
for
success
stories
of
entrepreneurs
who
have
been
able
to
take
their
skill,
set
that
they
learned
in
the
military
and
then
apply
those
two
to
civilian
life
successfully
and
then
there's
also.
A
large
portion
of
that
show
that
talks
about
highlights
benefits
that's
available
for
these
veterans
throughout
the
county
and
things
that
that
may
have
gone
off
the
radar
for
some
of
them
and
figure
out
how
they
can
take
take
advantage
of
those
kinds
of
things
and
then
the
other
two
are
really
are
really
honing
in
on
you
know.
M
We
have
a
long
track
record
of
producing
programs
about
local
history.
We
have
several
tell
the
awards.
Characters
of
eboard,
Deborah
native
show
these
of
all
won
national
recognition
for
our
attention.
For
that,
but
we've
recently
been
brought
to
the
attention
that
you
know
we
were
overlooking
a
certain
population
of
the
African
Americans.
D
Thank
You
Scott,
it's
very
comprehensive.
It
appears
to
me
without
any
offense
to
you
and
your
hard-working
gang
that
you
guys
operate
on
a
shoestring
but
but
I'm
wondering
where
do
you?
You
haven't
had
any
city
money
for
two
years?
How
are
you
staying
on
the
air
how
you
stay
alive?
Where
do
you
get
your
money
from
that's.
M
Correct
okay,
so
you
know
flashback.
Pg
channels
essentially
are
operated
by
funds
that
received
from
taxes
at
the
city
and
the
county
levies
on
the
cable
companies
for
doing
business.
So
in
the
last
over
the
last
ten
years,
though,
for
whatever
reason,
this
I
was
engineer
this
time-
I'm
not
privy
to
this,
we
that
those
funds
stop
flowing
through
to
the
education
channel
and
the
end
the
public
access
channel.
So
they
stayed
at
the
sit
at
the
city,
television
and
the
county
television
channel,
but
they
didn't
come
to
us.
M
So
at
that
point
in
time,
10
years
ago,
we
had
to
really
go
back
to
our
our
members
and
the
people
who
were
supporting
us
and
to
look
for
other
other
ways
to
find
those
finances
and,
of
course,
number
one
of
those
was
at
the
time,
our
largest
benefactor.
Our
are
just
partner
at
the
time,
is
the
Hillsborough
County
school
system,
so
we
had
to
start
charging
them
up
and
for
20
years
they
received
everything
that
the
city
Tampa
basically
is
doing
with
with
you
guys.
M
They
see
that
for
free
it
was
subsidized
by
those
tax
dollars
that
came
from
that
from
your
cable
bill.
So
after
10
years
we
had
to
go
back
to
them
and
tell
them
that
they're
gonna
have
to
start
paying,
then
so
that's
the
last
10
years,
they've
been
they've,
been
ponying
up
and
paying
for
their
broadcast
services,
and
basically,
after
the
last
two
years
when
this
happened
to
make
things
a
little
bit
easier
to
try
to
really
answer
this
question
and
talk
about
monetizing
the
channels
and
figuring
out
how
we
were
gonna
finance
them.
M
We
decided
it
would
be
fair
to
the
school
district
to
create
and
white-label
their
own
channel
for
them.
So
we
created
Hillsboro,
school's
television.
We
moved
everything
that
they
do
over
to
that
Channel
and
gave
them
free
reign
over
that
we
managed
it.
It
runs
on
all
of
our
systems,
it's
broadcast
in
16
by
9,
as
well
as
our
Channel,
and
we
also
have
a
streaming
component
that
goes
along
with
them.
To
also
clever
covers
all
the
closed
captioning.
M
So
that
part
that
one
half
of
our
of
our
network,
if
you
will
that
one
channel
is
its
paid
for
in
part
by
it,
almost
didn't
been
pulled
by
them.
It's
the
second
one
that
TV
AE,
that
we
do
the
programming
for
the
city
for
that
is
receiving
0
funds
right
now
we
are
getting
money
from
the
state
of
Florida.
They
helped
us
develop
our
streaming
service
years
ago.
M
They
saw
that
that
was
of
interest
to
them
and
they
thought
it
was
a
great
way
to
promote
Florida
to
people
outside
of
the
outside
of
the
community.
So
they
started
giving
us
some
we've
been
working
off
an
operational
grant
for
that.
It's
not
it's
not
very
much
and
like
for
last
year.
It
varies.
It
comes
from
a
pot
that
is
is
hit
a
lot
and,
of
course,
we
had
a
lot
of
unfortunate
things
happening
of
school
shootings
that
really
affected
that
over
the
last
year.
H
Mean
that's
a
that's
a
big
hit
to
go
from
that
kind
of
money
to
nothing
sure
your
time
like
that.
That
was
unfortunate.
Still
here
and
that's
good.
You
know
it's
good
to
do
it
do
some
ways
to
keep
you
moving.
I
know
what
I
want
overdid
at
or
your
place.
You
talked
about
the
Hillsborough
County
school
system.
You
kind
of
told
me
how
our
system
here
is
kind
of
outdated.
Yes,.
H
Behind
the
times
and
that
I
really
kind
of
struck
my
eye
that
we're
a
city
of
this
size
and
we're
behind
time
when
our
marketing
and
getting
information
out
to
the
public
that
was
concerning-
and
you
kind
of
touched
on
a
little
bit
about
the
school
system
and
so
forth.
So
that
was
a
big
peak
of
my
interest.
H
M
M
Your
camera,
your
television,
looks
great
in
here.
It
does
not
look
that
way
to
our
audience.
Viewing
at
home,
though,
and
and
I've
said,
I
know
at
least
five
or
six
of
you
guys
over
here.
What
you're
doing
is
you're,
taking
sixteen
by
nine
programming,
feed
and
you're,
trying
to
display
it
on
a
standard
definition
channel
now
standard
definition
channels
are
square,
so
they
have
bars
on
the
side
and
they're.
M
Taking
this
sixteen
by
nine
signal
and
compressing
it
into
a
square
and
sending
it
out
to
the
viewers
television
at
home
when
they
turn
their
TV
on
on
either
spectrum
or
frontier
FiOS,
and
they
watch
your
meetings.
You
guys
are
getting
a
big
diet.
You're
gay,
you
know
getting
squeezed
out,
everything
is
distorted
and
in
our
view
we
have
learned
this
from
the
school
district
from
working
with
them.
M
Your
brain
and
your
eye
and
your
ear
are
constantly
a
battle
with
each
other
and
what
your
eyes
see,
overpowers,
what
your
ears
and
what
you
may
read
and
what
you
smell,
your
your
eyes
have
the
authority
when
it
comes
to
what
your
brain
is
sensing
as
reality.
So
the
first
thing
that
they
see
before
they
hear
a
single
word
remains.
M
It's
distorted
so
I
think
that's
what
we're
talking
about.
We
figured
out
a
way
to
take
that
sixteen
by
nine
signal
compress
it
send
it
out
to
everybody
and
then
pop
it
back
out
without
our
viewers
having
to
to
do
anything
with
their
remote
controls,
it's
automatic
and
willing
to
share
that
for
years
that
nobody
has
expressed
interest,
except
for
you
so
far.
Thank.
J
Two
years
ago,
when
he
had
your
funding
cut
to
zero,
and
it
was
the
only
budget-
I
voted
against
so
far,
and
you
know
getting
to
know
you
guys
and
T
BAE
and
the
technology
that
you
use
and
touring
your
facility
which
I
have
before
it
is
so
impressive,
because
we
have
to
think
about
the
importance
of
education
and
the
content
that
we're
putting
out
to
our
young
folks
and
what
they're,
seeing
you
know.
U2
was
mentioned.
I
use
YouTube
because
there's
a
lot
of
great
documentaries
on
it.
J
I
use
Netflix
because
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
on
it.
I
don't
have
cable,
I
use
these
internet
streaming
services,
but
with
you
and
TBA
you
have
the
app
and
on
that
app
which
anybody
can
download,
which
is
free
to
anyone.
Look
at
the
content
that
you're
putting
on
there
I
know
you
had
astronaut
story,
Musgrave,
one
of
the
most
intelligent
people,
I've
ever
I've
ever
met.
You
have
the.
J
Which
is
strictly
geared
toward
Tampa
history,
you're
talking
about
the
n-double-a-cp,
show
or
program
the
african-american
heritage
in
Tampa
Bay,
which
is
so
important.
I
know
that
there's
a
documentary
on
Central
Avenue
that
floats
around
PBS
and
whatnot
and
it's
a
little
little
showcase
on
the
in
American
community.
You
want
to
expand
upon
that
because
there's
so
much
more
history
that
needs
to
be
told,
but
to
go
from
a
hundred
and
eight
thousand
dollars
in
funding
to
zero
and
then
having
to
survive
two
years
after
that
is
not
fair.
J
Considering
the
quality
of
information
that
you're
putting
out
there
and
the
importance
the
great
importance
of
the
education
of
what
people
are
watching
and
you're,
showcasing
or
Sydney
I
mean
it's
considerate
advertising
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
I
mean
the
message
that
you're
putting
out
there.
It
just
puts
us
in
a
great
and
a
great
light
on
top
of
everything
else
that
we
do
so
looking
at
a
budget.
That's
a
billion
dollars,
plus,
what's
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
you
know
on
something
that
is
vital.
You
know
we
always
talked
about.
J
Teachers
are
not
paid
enough,
they're,
always
looking
at
cuts
and
funding
and
education.
This
is
education.
You
know
this
is
a
worthy
investment.
You
know,
parks
are
worthy
investment,
road
repaving
worthy
investments.
But
don't
forget
you
know
what
we're
teaching
you
know
the
younger
generations
and
the
future
and
the
people
in
our
city-
and
you
have
something
that
is
so
professional
and
so
organized
and
so
top-quality
I.
Look
at
TV
a
if
I
didn't
know
it
I
would
think
it
would
be
something
national.
J
Not
just
you
know
something
local,
because
the
quality
is
so
good
and
and
the
effort
that
you
and
everybody
else
puts
into
it.
You
know
you,
you
truly
put
your
heart
and
soul
into
it,
and
this
is
you
know
the
money
is
worthy.
The
investment
is
is
is
worth
it.
You
know
beyond
anything
that
I
can
say
so.
You'll
always
have
my
support.
You
know,
council
members
here
councilmen.
C
You
mr.
chair
Glenda,
there's
a
reason
why
I
really
like
you
you're,
both
a
falcon
and
and
a
bowl?
Thank
you
television.
As
we
know
it
has
changed,
it's
not
the
same.
More
and
more
people
I
count
to
Menace
calculus,
ed
and
myself
have
cut
the
cable
we're
streaming
we're
streaming
everything
your
your
network
gives
us
the
opportunity
for
a
bunch
of
different
reasons.
Number
one
is
choice:
not
that
are
not
that
are
streaming
here
is
bad,
but
you
give
us
a
choice.
C
You
give
us
a
choice:
city
of
Tampa,
the
communities
and
surrounding
areas
the
people
within
the
city
of
Tampa.
You
give
us
history,
you
give
us
communications
with
Tiger,
Bay
and
other
things
and
other
of
your
all
of
your
other
programming.
I
support.
You
guys
I'd
like
to
really
see
this
go
through
and
I
congratulate
you
on
the
work
you've
done
just
so
far.
Councilman.
B
N
Thanks
for
coming
today,
I've
never
seen
such
a
big
group
show
up
for
what
is
a
relatively
small
amount
of
money.
So
thank
you,
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
the
politics
of
why
you
all
are
cut,
because
we
it's
a
whole
new
day
in
the
city
and
we're
trying
to
all
look
forward,
but
we
talked
about
the
educational
benefit
of
what
you
do.
N
The
information
aspect
of
what
you
do,
there's
a
cultural
aspect,
because
we
need
local
programming
of
all
kinds-
and
you
know
I'm
proud
to
watch,
shows
that
are
about
local
culture
and
local
history
and
all
these
other
things,
but,
more
importantly,
I
hope.
Everybody
watching
everybody
listening
will
understand.
This
is
really
about
economic
development.
You
all
have
heard
me
talk
about
the
difference
between
real
estate
development,
economic
development
Florida,
since
the
20s
has
gone
through
ten-year
boom
and
bust
cycles,
because
we
focus
on
real
estate
development.
N
The
as
I
talked
to
Sonya
little
about
before
she
left
there's
a
perverse
and
senate
tax
incentive
for
cities
and
counties
to
focus
on
real
estate
Velma,
because
that's
how
we
get
paid
we
have
to.
We
have
to
move
off
real
estate
development,
I'm
story
a
couple
days
ago
about
the
what's
happened
in
economic
development
over
the
last
few
years
in
Tampa.
It's
all
real
estate
about
you,
look
at
what
the
EDC
puts
out
its
back
office,
jobs
and
real
estate
development.
Look
at
the
look
at
the
accomplishments
of
this,
the
CRA
s.
N
It's
all
real
estate
development.
We've
got
to
change
now
because
of
some
change
of
the
city.
We've
got
to
change
in
and
please
God
get
it.
Somebody
who
understands
economic
development,
not
just
real
estate
development
I,
went
with
a
group
of
st.
Peter
arts
leaders
to
Brooklyn
Harlem
a
couple
years
ago.
We
went
to
a
similar
organization
in
Brooklyn,
and
this
is
just
a
borough
of
New
York.
They
spent
the
city
spent
six
million
dollars
a
year
and
why
it's
not
about
getting
access
to
information?
N
They
understand
that
this
is
economic
development
and
I'll
take
another
few
seconds.
The
accenture
alone
has
64,000
software
robots.
They
are
they
and
other
companies
that
are
creating
software
robots
are
doing
the
white-collar
jobs.
What
and
the
Industrial
Revolution
did
two
blue-collar
jobs
a
hundred
years
ago,
most
of
the
white-collar
jobs
that
are
priced
process-oriented
gonna
get
wiped
out,
we're
spending
tax
money
to
subsidize,
recruiting
back
office
jobs
to
Tampa
that
are
going
to
be
wiped
out
in
the
next
few
years
by
software
robots.
N
Students
are
learning
ideas
and
they're,
creating
businesses
out
of
it
they're
creating
programming,
that's
then
being
launched
nationally
and
in
other
places
in
and
$100,000,
for.
An
innovative
economic
development
solution
is
nothing
compared
to
the
money
that
we
waste,
recruiting
jobs
that
are
gonna,
be
wiped
out
by
software
robots.
So
please
somebody
find
us
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
so
we.
F
M
E
M
Two
channels,
but
we
did
that
second
channel
just
didn't,
go
out
full
County,
so
we
didn't
do
a
lot
with
it.
When,
when
frontier
came
in
here,
they
both
went
full
county
and
then,
when
I
took
over
I
said
we
need
to
utilize
this
child.
We
have
to,
let's
do
something
different
with
it.
So
we
split
that,
apart
that
that
was
created
for
the
school
district.
They
put
us
out
to
RFP
a
national.
We
had
to
compete
nationally
against
national
and
million
dollar.
Conscious
of
time
just.
M
F
B
You
and
I
know
councilman
ding,
Felder
I
think
wants
to
speak
out
for
everyone's
finished.
I'll
put
my
piece
in
this
I
I
I
want
to
caution,
folks,
which
is
that
I
I'm
strongly
in
support
of
this
programming.
I've
watched
it.
My
mothers
watched
it
great
programs
on
Jose,
Marti
and
other
great
people.
I
think
this
is
a
great
thing,
but
we
are
dealing
now
with
many
of
us
making
budget
requests
to
the
administration.
I
know
I've
made
I'll,
be
frank.
B
There
are
issues
that
I'm
asking
for
elastic
for,
for
my
district
and
for
other
things,
I've
talked
about
more
money
for
code
enforcement
that
I
don't
see
there.
I
want
funds
to
have
a
good
down
payment
on
my
autism,
Park
on
or
autism
Park
that
we
have
in
my
district
in
New
Tampa
different
kind
of
parks,
improvements
that
we've
talked
about
throughout
the
city
of
Tampa
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
parks
and
recreation
facilities
and
playgrounds
are
accessible
to
children
with
developmental
disabilities
and
physical
disabilities.
B
Things
that
I
care
about
I
think
that
when
we
talk
about
$100,000,
you
know
something
that
cost
for,
for
example,
the
study
on
the
much
desired
by
pools
in
Seminole
Heights.
That's
a
lot
of
money
and
I
want
to
be
careful
in
terms
of
how
can
I
put
it
being
a
responsible
individual
as
I
subjectively
see
it,
which
is
when
I
go
to
the
administration
and
say
look
there
are
things
in
the
budget
that
are
priorities
for
me
that
are
priorities
from
my
district
I,
don't
see
them
there
and
then
I
go
by
the
way.
B
Let's
also
give
$100,000
to
this
television.
It's
a
great
thing.
I
strongly
support
it,
but
I
think
a
more
reasonable
allotment
would
be
warranted
as
a
request
with
credibility
from
Council.
That's
just
my
opinion.
Again,
I
strongly
support
what
y'all
are
doing
and
I
and
I
do
hope
that
there
is
some
City
support
for
it,
but
I
think
that
a
full
on
request
from
City
Council
would
undermine
some
of
the
requests
that
we've
made.
Some
of
the
requests
that
I've
made
very
aggressively
privately
to
the
administration.
D
D
We
just
got
a
letter
from
a
memo
from
the
mayor
an
hour
ago
indicating
some
modifications
to
her
original
proposed
budget,
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
study,
to
develop
a
master
plan
for
the
park
system
to
see
what
our
needs
are.
I,
don't
know
if
that,
if
that
is
in
part
in
the
response
to
your
request
about
the
accessibility
park,
I
was
actually
gonna,
bring
up
the
accessibility
park
a
little
later
in
our
discussion.
She
also
mentions
almost
$400,000
in
regard
to
in
response
I
think
to
councilman
Goodes.
J
H
D
D
But
the
relevant
part
is
the
top
right
hand,
corner
and
I
provided
a
copy
to
the
clerk
to
so
it's
part
of
the
record.
It
says
council
is
authorized
to
make
such
changes
in
set
budget
as
it
deems
necessary
for
the
proper.
An
economical
operation
of
the
municipal
government
and
the
budget
has
adopted
by
the
council
shall
then
be
shall
be
presented
to
the
mayor
for
approval,
as
provided
for
as
provided
for
all
the
ordinances
of
the
City
Council,
and
then
it
does
speak
to
veto
authority
etc,
which
I'm
pretty
confident
we
shouldn't.
D
But
my
point
is
this:
is
we
heard
this
a
lot
during
the
campaign?
Is
that
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
authority.
We
have
Zoning
Authority
and
we
have
budget
Authority
and
our
budget
Authority
comes
from
that
one
paragraph
that
one
line
that
were
authorized
to
make
such
changes
as
synthetic
as
we
deem
necessary
improper
in
this
case
I
think
two
things
number
one
they
were
in
the
budget.
They
were
in
the
budget
to
$109,000
there's,
never
been
any
good
rationale
and
that
I've
ever
heard
about
about
why
they
got
cut.
D
We
were
coming
out
of
the
recession
and
then
they
got
cut
but
I
want
to
I,
don't
want
to
dredge
up
ancient
history.
They
got
cut
they've
been
out
for
two
years.
There's
no
good
reason
for
it.
I
think
they
provided
a
very
persuasive
argument
to
go
back
into
the
budget
and
with
that
and
without
going
in
any
more
details,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
this
council
respectfully
request
that
the
mayor
consider
agreeing
with
us
I
don't
want
to
force
this.
D
We
don't
need
to
force
anything
today,
but
maybe
a
vote
will
indicate
health
council
feels
about
this
organization
and
this
hundred
thousand
dollars,
but
anyway,
so
respectfully
request
that
the
mayor
agree
with
us
and
an
ad
t
BAE
back
into
the
budget,
to
the
tune
of
$100,000
to
do
the
things
that
they
mentioned
in
the
handout,
including
a
new
african-american
heritage
program,
a
new
n-double-a-cp
program,
continuing
their
art
for
perspectives,
program,
continuing
filmmaker
spotlight,
adding
a
new
Veteran's,
strong
program
and
all
the
other
programs
that
they
do
during
the
year.
So
that's
that's
my
motion.
D
F
Not
here
to
say,
yea
or
nay,
I
have
to
look
at
the
whole
necessary.
We
talked
about
affordable
housing,
we
talked
of
which
is
nothing
is
affordable
anymore.
We
talked
about
building
housing
for
those
that
need,
there
really
need
a
place
to
say,
there's
the
American
Dream
and
yet
whether
it's
a
hundred
thousand
or
two
hundred
thousand
or
twenty
thousand
or
rent
here
or
rent
that
we
should
be
paying.
We
don't
have
it.
We
talk
about
building
stadiums
in
the
hell
of
the
houses.
So
what
is
it
we
doing?
What
is
it
we
want?
F
You
want
to
do
one,
but
you
want
to
do
of
all
those
pieces.
I
don't
know
so.
My
vote
is
that
I
like
to
vote
for
it,
but
I'm
not
going
to
vote
for
it
because
I
don't
know
all
the
ramification
yet
of
everything's
gonna
come
down
the
pike
by
either
the
third
or
the
night,
so
I
have
to
be
prepared
for
what's
coming
and
if
I
make
a
motion
now
I'll
vote
for
the
motion,
then
my
word
is
better
than
anything.
I
said
if
I
said
yes,
I'm
gonna
vote.
F
N
N
C
B
Anyone
else,
okay,
before
we
vote,
you
know
my
concern:
I
Iike,
what
councilman
Miranda
said,
which
is
there's
a
matter
of
our
of
our
word
and
our
credibility
and
I
should
say
my
word,
my
credibility,
which
is
I've
gone
to
the
administration,
with
certain
issues
that
are
not
yet
a
hundred
and
percent
resolved
and
there's
a
I
think
whenever
you
rate
a
council
district
representative,
there
is
a
priority
list.
This
is
on
my
list.
This
is
something
that
I
support,
but
I.
B
Think
by
having
this
motion
for
one
hundred
percent,
this
would
be
for
one
hundred
percent
funding
correct
this
six
figures
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Okay,
there
you
go
yeah,
that's
certainly
something
that
I
support
in
spirit
but
I
think
to
back
it
up
with
my
word,
I
think
would
actually
betray
some
of
my
other
budget
priorities
of
a
half
for
my
district.
B
I
Legal
department:
this
is
not
the
proper
forum
for
changing
budgets.
That's
when
you're
going
to
have
your
budget
hearing,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
you
saying
you'd
like
that
to
be
looked
at.
You
not
have
to
be
considered,
but
voting
on
something
like
that.
Now
this
is
not
the
budget
hearing
all
the
public
is
in
here
and
that
that
they
should
be
here
for
that.
So
when
you
have
your
public
hearing,
all
I'm
saying
is
I'm
suggesting
a
modification
to
the
resolution.
I
D
C
Had
mr.
chair
with
you,
sir
permission
I
asked
councilman
ding
folder.
If
this
was
a
friendly
suggestion
to
the
mayor
and
after
I've
heard
our
city
attorney
I
tend
to
agree
with
him.
This
may
not
be
the
place
to
do
it.
I
am
in
favor
of
asking
the
mayor
to
adjust
the
budget
so
that
there
is
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
t
BAE
I
I'm,
having
second
thoughts.
But
again
you
asked
me
and
I
and
I'm
repeating
what
I
said:
councilman
ding
father.
Is
this
a
a
friendly
suggestion
to
the
merits.
D
That's
it
that's
not
binding.
It's
not
binding,
it's
not
anything
except
a
friendly
suggestion
to
the
mayor
to
add
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
t
BAE,
who
used
to
get
a
hundred
and
nine
thousand
and
with
inflation
they'd,
probably
be
up
to
125
by
now,
but
they're
their
reduced
budget
from
where
there
were
two
years
ago
to
one
hundred
thousand
dollars,
it's
nothing
more
than
today
than
a
friendly
suggestion
and
and
I
think
it's
important
to
send
that
friendly
suggestion.
D
So
that
way
she
can
have
a
week
with
working
with
these
fine
folks
to
look
at
it
and
find
out
where
it
will
come
from
look
they're
still
modifying
the
budget.
They
just
sent
over
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
changes.
So
it's
not
like
we're.
You
know,
inventing
the
wheel
here,
they're
already
doing
this.
So
with
that.
D
N
A
N
If
we
vote
on
this
I'm
gonna
vote
for
it
and
I
haven't
asked
the
mayor
for
anything
other
than
to
put
money
in
the
general
fund
reserves
which
were
burned
through
in
the
last
few
years,
but
but
again
it's
with
with
all
respect,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
priorities
out
there.
But
I
I
happen
to
believe
in
this
too.
A
J
Know
I'm
easygoing
guy
and
in
my
list
of
requests
to
the
mayor
you
know
I
want
to
I
want
to
get
some
pools
fixed
in
my
district
and
in
that
there's
$100,000
for
the
for
a
study,
there's
a
little
bit
of
money
for
Villa
brothers
Park,
which
is
also
in
my
district
and
that's
it
and
pave
a
couple
of
roads
build
a
couple
of
sidewalks,
but
we
have
to
wait
for
all
for
transportation
and
all
that
stuff.
That's
it
I
mean
it
wasn't
a
I'm
not
asking
for
a
lot.
You
know.
J
So,
what's
an
extra
100
grand
split
amongst
if
we
have
four
votes
here,
25
thousand
each
council
member,
you
know
we're
not
asking
for
millions
of
dollars
we're
not
asking
for
you
know
anything
ridiculous.
I
remember
when
I
coded
was
one
of
the
votes
for
30,
something
million
dollar
kurta
six
and
four
they
found
the
money
for
it.
You
know
we
had
to
do
some
improvements
afterwards,
I
think
another
million
dollars.
We
supported
that
as
well.
J
H
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
you
know
and
we
all
want
to
get
behind
worthy
causes,
and
this
is
a
worthy
cause,
but
I'm
hungry,
my
districts,
hungry
and
I've
read
the
mayor's
proposal
and
I'm
humbled
by
some
of
the
suggestions,
but
I
think
there's
still
room
for
a
little
more
conversation,
because
we're
hungry
I
could
support
something
for
TVA,
but
maybe
not
108,
but
I
could
really
support
something.
A
starting
point,
but
I
have
to
be
honest
with
everyone.
H
District
five
is
hungry
and
I'm
still
looking
for
the
things
I'm
asking
for
so
I
could
be
in
support,
but
maybe
and
asks
to
the
administration
in
reference
to
something-
maybe
not
all,
but
to
something.
But
I
have
to
tell
you
that
district
5
is
hungry
and
I'm
really
not
backing
off
my
hunger,
because
I'm
hungry.
F
B
If
I
may
comment
on
that
and
again
my
this
is
a
very,
very
worthy
endeavor,
but
if
I
vote
for
something
like
this,
that's
funny,
if
I
vote
for
something
like
this
I
got
to
go
back
to
my
friends
in
Forest,
Hills
I
got
to
go
back
to
my
friends
in
Bush
Boulevard,
who
were
just
here
this
morning
and
tell
them
that
listen,
that
additional
code
enforcement,
forcement
officer
that
you
wanted
I,
potentially
in
theory,
asked
for
that
money
to
go
somewhere
else.
I
gotta
be
I,
got
to
be
true
to
myself.
B
I
got
to
be
true
to
my
district
into
the
needs
of
the
city.
In
that
regard,
again,
I
will
look
at
the
screen.
Norcaster
I'd
love
to
see
some
more
money
for
this
endeavor,
but
to
put
that
high
of
a
dollar
amount
on,
it
is
something
without
taking
care
of
first
my
district
needs
that
would
lose
my
credibility
in
terms
of
what
I've
asserted
to
the
administration
and
and
for
me
it
would
probably
be
you
know
easier
to
vote
yes,
but
I
got
to
be.
You
know,
true
to
what
I
think
is
right.
Anyone
else.
N
B
D
D
D
Yesterday
she
included
an
item
in
terms
of
the
$15
minimum
wage,
which
I
was
very
happy
with,
but
I
don't
necessarily
claim
that
as
my
victory,
because
that's
a
victory
for
everybody,
including
the
mayor
and
especially
those
people
who
needed
it,
but
I
think
if
we,
if
we
just
if
we
start
doing
that,
we
not
only
we
not
only
heard
the
process.
We
heard
this
body.
D
In
my
opinion,
this
group
came
forward.
15
of
them
came
forward
spent
the
whole
day
here
to
tell
us
why
they
did
a
good
job
and
virtually
every
single
one
of
you
agreed
with
them
and
said
as
an
organization
they've
been
doing
great
things,
they've
been
doing
great
things
for
30
years.
Okay,
over
the
years,
they've
been
cut,
they've
been
cut
not
just
by
the
city,
but
they've
been
cut
by
the
county,
they've
been
cut
by
the
state.
You
know
they
keep
getting
cut,
and
yet
they
keep
hanging
in
there
right.
D
So
why?
Why?
Wouldn't
we
just
give
them
a
vote
of
confidence
today?
I,
don't
I,
really
I'm
at
a
loss
and
mr.
Carlson
I
hear
you
politically.
It
probably
be
wise
for
me
to
withdraw
that
motion
and
just
let
them
hang
out
there,
but
I'm,
not
gonna.
Let
them
hang
out
there.
I'm,
not
I,
think
that
that
I'm
calling
this
motion
to
say
that
this
is
not
an
outrageous
request.
D
We
can't
compare
it
to
the
millions
of
dollars
that
are
needed
for
affordable
housing
and
everything
else,
because
if
we
did
that
we
wouldn't
fund
anything
okay,
but
as
mr.
Carlson
laid
out
very
nicely.
This
is
not
just
about
immediate
thing,
this
is
about
economic
development,
okay,
and
we
spend
millions
of
dollars
with
our
good
friend,
Santiago
Kurata,
on
economic
development
and
in
the
chamber,
folks,
etc.
B
I
want
to
respond
that
if
I
may
I'm
a
district
represent
district
7,
you
know
I've
never
been
parochial.
All
I've
done
is
been
sent
here
to
fight
for
the
people
of
my
district
and
also
to
take
a
citywide
approach
when
it
came
to
supporting
before
I
was
elected
when
I
ran
for
office,
the
storm
water
attacks
that
was
done
in
2016
I
caught
hell
for
that
in
my
campaign.
B
But
I
said
yes
to
that
when
it
came
to
demagogue
in
downtown
development,
I
said
no
to
demagogue
in
downtown
development
and
I
said
yes
to
supporting
downtown
development
and
I
still
supported
110
percent
and
the
budget.
We
voted
on
in
2017
I
voted
eight
months
after
being
elected
by
65
votes
to
raise
taxes
on
my
constituents
on
everybody.
Why?
B
So
that
we
could
take
a
citywide
approach
on
parks
in
Villa,
Park
and
Williams
Park
New
Tampa
rec
center,
all
over
our
city,
one
of
the
things
that
I
objected
to
was
not
something
that's
unique
to
my
district,
but
it's
unique
to
every
single
family
in
the
city.
Raising
a
child
with
special
needs,
inaccessible
parks,
whether
they
be
in
East,
Tampa,
South,
Tampa,
West,
AMPA
or
north
and
New
Tampa.
That's
a
citywide
approach.
Iii
think
we
all
here
take
a
citywide
approach.
I
know
I,
do
we
are
one
city
we're
all
companions
or
ten
taneous?
B
However,
you
may
pronounce
it
and-
and
that's
certainly
our
heritage.
However,
that
being
said,
when
there
are
issues
in
my
district
acute
needs,
we
just
sat
through
an
hour-long
more
than
that
workshop
on
the
needs
of
Busch
Boulevard,
you
had
folks
come
down
from
Busch
Boulevard.
That
community
talked
about
their
needs,
not
their
once,
not
their
once
basic
needs
things
like
code
enforcement,
things
like
transportation,
improvements,
crime
issues
etc.
B
G
John
Bennett
chief
of
staff
I
just
want
to
offer
a
comment
and
maybe
that'll
help
facilitate
where
we're
heading
three
things
point
one
is
that
we've
heard
the
data,
and
that
requires
leadership
after
that
and
I
think
I
heard
mr.
Carlson
say
we're
in
a
point
of
creativity
and
innovation
and
that's
what
happens
when
we
have
the
data
and
we
we
get
into
healthy
discussions
about
moving
our
community
forward.
I've
listened
to
the
passion
of
the
program,
I
heard
it
from
the
administration.
G
I
take
those
things
extremely
seriously,
so
duly
noted
on
hearing
what
the
issue
is,
we're
still
in
a
process
has
been
said
by
Councilman
Miranda.
That
process
still
has
time.
We
still
have
the
opportunity
to
discuss,
but
the
third
thing
I
want
to
say
is
about
the
creativity
innovation.
Yesterday,
I
met
with
the
pepid
Academy
for
those
of
you
that
know
about
the
Pepin
Academy.
They
have
18
to
22
year
olds
that
are
in
the
number
of
about
51
that
are
looking
for
opportunities
to
thrive
in
the
workplace.
G
It's
it's
a
very
passionate
opportunity
for
the
city
to
support
those.
The
reason
I'm
bringing
this
up
is
that
there
I
have
had
opportunities
in
the
last
10
to
15
years
of
government
service
to
find
in-kind
and
other
creative
ways
to
support
programs
that
are
not
always
directly
funded.
That
way
and
I
think.
The
key
here
is
to
look
at
what
we're
trying
to
do
realize
the
benefit
of
what's
in
the
community
and
figure
out
how
to
get
there
together
and
I.
G
Think
that's
been
duly
noted
on
my
legal
pad,
so
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
from
the
administrative
side,
I've
heard
it
I
understand.
Creativity
and
innovation
is
important,
and
this
won't
be
the
only
discussion
over
the
only
line
item
that
we're
gonna
have.
But
I
just
want
to
share
that
philosophically
about
how
we're
thinking
all.
B
D
B
K
B
H
In
Thank
You
counsel,
let
me
see
was
it
yes,
sir,
she
was
to
have
you
know,
I
know
you
a
long
time
and
you
have
problem-solver
and
you
like
to
make
compromises
and
I
think
that
was
a
hell
of
a
job
coming
up
full
horse
and
doing
what
you
just
did.
You
saw
the
passion
of
the
council,
even
though
we
have
some
desires
and
you
saw
the
need
other
people,
so
you
won't
say
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and.
B
N
You
just
talk
about
I
mentioned
the
the
general
fund,
balance
and
I
think
it's
combined
with
like
a
Parks
and
Rec
fine,
but
but
my
concern,
which
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about,
is
and
I
just
want
to.
Have
you
talk
about
it
please
publicly
here
the
reason
why
I
didn't
ask
the
mayor
for
anything
is
because
we
had
you
can
correct
my
numbers,
but
when
Pam
Iorio
hand
it
off,
we
had
about
150
or
so
million,
and
the
general
fund
balance
and
that's
kind
of
the
way
I
look
at
it.
N
The
rainy
day
fund
in
case
we
go
into
a
recession
and
I.
Think
it's
when
Mayor
caster
took
over
was
about
80
million
plus
or
minus,
and
my
concern
is
that
if
we
go
into
a
recession
which
could
be
we
could,
we
won't
know
for
a
few
months,
because
the
numbers
look
backwards.
If
we
go
into
a
recession,
we've
already
we've
already
cut
services
to
the
bone,
as
folks
here
say.
N
So
if
we
go
into
a
recession
in
two
or
three
years
where
we
we
may
have
to
cut
services,
even
more
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
general
fund
balance,
that's
high
enough
that
we
don't
have
to
cut
services
more
during
recession
and,
as
you
know,
the
staff
and
in
your
new
department
has
done
a
great
job,
building
up
the
the
other
reserves
so
that
we
have
high
triple-a
bond
ratings
and
others
which
keep
our
interest
rates
low.
So
we
can't
touch
any
of
that,
even
though
we
have
monies
money
in
reserves.
N
E
E
Quite
all
right,
but
let
me
give
you
a
broad-based
history,
primarily
you're
correct
when
mayor
I
or
you
left
and
as
we
plan
for
and
reacted
to,
the
Great
Recession.
We
had
a
very,
very
large
general
fund
balance.
We
had
very
good
fund
balances
and
some
of
our
other
funds,
not
so
good
in,
for
example,
solid
waste.
E
Now
you
mentioned
some
some
very,
very
good
credit
ratings
that
we
have
in
water,
wastewater,
etc,
etc.
We
have,
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
put
solid
waste
back
on
a
very,
very
firm
footing
and
they've
got
a
very
good
fund
balance.
Water
has
a
very
good
fund.
Balance
wastewater
has
a
very
good
fund
balance
from
our
perspective,
even
though
it
has
declined
the
fund
balance
in
the
general
fund
right
now
and
the
fund
balance
that's
contained
within
the
budget
presented
to
you
is
also
very,
very
good.
E
E
Almost
six
million
dollars
is
being
put
into
the
general
fund
balance
to
maintain
and
here's
the
point
that
I'd
really
like
to
stress
to
maintain
that
23
percent,
because
as
your
budget
grows
and
we've
no
reason
to
think
it
will
not
continue
growing.
You
have
to
put
more
and
more
money
into
your
fund
balance
because
it's
a
percentage
of
your
expenses
so
I
think
your
point
is
well-taken.
E
Not
only
do
you
have
to
plan
for
potential
economic
challenges
but
as
our
budget
grows,
we're
going
to
have
to
continue
to
plan
to
put
more
and
more
funding
into
that
general
fund
balance
and
reserves.
Our
savings
account
if
you
will
and
of
course,
if
it's
in
your
savings
account
it's
not
in
your
checking
account.
You
can't
spend
it
so
it's
approximately
six
million
dollars
in
20
and
I
anticipate.
It
will
require
more.
B
N
Last
follow-up,
it
in,
if
you
all,
are
doing
this
but
I-
think
it's
generally
understood
in
business
and
in
government
that
during
the
boom
times
during
the
positive
economic
times,
you
save
money
so
that
you
can
spend
it
during
the
down
times
correct
and
besides
having
the
the
coverage
ratio,
it
sounds
like
that's.
The
general
philosophy
you're
following
right.
E
It
is
the
general
philosophy-
and
you
heard
me
reference
just
a
little
bit
of
a
nuance
here.
You
heard
me
reference
on
policy
of
20%,
which
is
a
very
good
policy,
we're
in
very
good
shape.
According
to
our
policy,
as
you
heard
me
state,
but
we've
gotten
into
a
posture.
Now,
we've
been
very,
very
successful
at
continuing
to
maintain
and
grow
that
fund
balance.
So
we've
gotten
into
a
posture
that
the
rating
agencies-
they
don't
consider
our
policy
any
longer.
They
consider
what
we've
been
able
to
maintain.
E
So
we've
got
a
good
policy,
but
if
we
we
think
if
we
drop
below
that
23%
and
maybe
even
if
we
don't
increase
it,
the
rating
agencies
are
going
to
looked
at.
Look
at
us
a
little
bit
of
a
sideways
glance
based
on
our
success
of
the
past.
It's
a
good
story
to
tell,
but
it
requires
more
and
more
leaves
sources.
F
I
F
When
that's
over,
you
tell
me
where
the
money's
going
to
come
in
for
fire
engines,
police
cars,
all
types
of
equipment
that
we
buy
for
that
money
and
I.
Think
that
if
I
remember
the
budget
and
just
looking
at
this
is
again
I
looked
at
a
few
days
ago,
it
was
like
37
million
in
2020
or
20
21
I
forget
what
year
it
was
that
we
had
put
in
there
for
expenditures
of
those
two
kind
so
whoever's
here,
if
I'm,
here
being
a
wheelchair.
F
F
B
E
H
E
H
H
Will
we
not?
We
will
so
I
mean
I
respect
what
mr.
Moran
is
in,
because
you
don't
come
a
time,
but
I
look
at
right
now.
If
we
have
it
to
spin
right
now,
we
need
to
do
two
things.
We
need
to
do
right
now
to
get
on
that
path
and
I.
Just
look
at
that
number
23
percent
and
I
hear
about
my
figures
were
a
little
bit
higher
than
106
and
I'll
go
back
and
look
again
in
this
book.
H
E
I'm
sorry
I
just
expand
on
that,
a
little
bit
further
to
what
you
were
saying:
councilman
Carlson.
We
went
from
a
high
of
a
hundred
and
forty
almost
one
hundred
and
forty
three
million
in
2010,
so
we
have
spent
that
down
to
a
low
2014
of
86,
almost
87
million
we
have.
We
have
taken
some
hits
in
our
reserve
again
still
well
above
policy
I.
Just
also
like
to
add
it's
great,
it's
great
to
have
wonderful
credit
ratings.
It's
not
just
bragging
rights.
E
Of
course
it
it
manifests
itself
itself
in
the
strength
of
our
financial
condition,
indicating
the
mayor
and
councils
political
will
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
sound
financial
condition
now
and
going
forward
and
of
course,
as
you've
heard,
it
helps
us
save
a
great
deal
of
money
men
and
that
if
when
we
get
that
when
we
anticipate
getting
more
debt
service
in
the
future,
so
that,
if
they're
great
to
have
but
there's
a
significant
savings
and
positive
aspects
we
experienced
from
having
those
rating
those
positive
ratings.
Thank
you.
D
B
J
Just
a
random
thought,
as
councilman
Brandon
mentioned,
that
the
CIT
runs
out
in
eight
years
or
whatever
it
is.
Why
wouldn't
the
public
renew
it
and
I'll?
Tell
you
why
I
say
there?
Why
I
asked
that
question?
Nobody
thought
all
for
transportation
was
good,
not
nobody.
You
wouldn't
thank
all
for
transportation,
would
past
and
the
school
tax.
At
the
same
time,
the
school
tax
sunsets
within
10
years
so
basic,
which
is
a
half
cent
CIT,
is
half
cent.
J
Would
it
not
make
sense
for
the
public
to
renew
CIT
at
what
it
is,
so
we
I
mean
we
can't
speculate
on
that.
We
had
to
prepare
that
nothing
happens
and
folks
decide
to
just
keep
their
sales
tax
at
half
a
cent
less.
But
it
would
be
fiscally
prudent
for
folks
to
vote
and
support
to
renew
a
CIT
considering
everything
that
defines
a
man
and
then
we
have
a
30-year
chart
that
we
can
look
at
it
of
everything
that
it
has
funded,
but
just
my
random
thoughts.
N
The
trade-off
here
on
the
reserves
is
that,
although
we
could
spend
a
lot
of
the
money
now,
my
fear
is
that
if,
if
everybody
says
we're
already
cut
as
far
as
we
can
cut,
if
we
don't
have
enough
in
a
couple
years,
when
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
recession,
we're
gonna
get
hammered
by
constituents.
Imagine,
however
bad
you
think
our
service
level
is
now
I.
Think
it's
pretty
good
but
better
than
I
expected
from
the
outside.
But,
however
bad
you
think
it
is
now
it's
gonna
be
a
lot
worse
during
the
recession.
N
N
I,
don't
want
to
get
yelled
at
by
constituents
because
we
can't
fill
basic
potholes
and
things
so
I
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
Sonia
she's
gone,
but
in
the
end,
the
team
and
the
mayor,
that's
a
higher
number
than
I
even
expected,
and
so
I'm
I'm
happy
that
you
all
saved
that
much
and
for
my
constituents
who
are
watching
in
two
or
three
years,
if
we're
in
a
recession,
if
we're
able
to
maintain
some
of
the
services,
then
you'll
know
why
I
push
for
it.
Anyone.
B
Else
on
reserves,
just
a
brief
remark:
you
know
in
looking
at
this
letter
I
think
this
is
a
very
good
step
in
the
right
direction.
So
I
wanted
a
salute.
Y'all
for
this
I
really
appreciate
that
110
percent.
You
know
I
echo
the
remarks
on
concerns
in
the
reserves.
I
I,
you
know
I
brought
up
the
2017
fiscal
year,
2018
budget.
B
B
Weaver
said
that
in
2017
and
that's
why
I
voted
for
that
I
think
we're
we're
seeing
the
the
positive
benefits
of
that
we're,
seeing
the
positive
benefits
of
that,
which
is
why,
in
this
budget,
you
know
we
can
continue
to
balance
out
that
fiscal
responsibility.
The
idea
that
we've
got
to
set
money
aside,
because
folks
talking
about
we're
not
out
of
the
woods
yet
well
we're
gonna,
be
back
in
the
woods.
B
Probably
in
year
two
years,
we're
gonna
get
a
recession,
that's
just
the
way
that
it
is,
and
we've
got
to
be
prepared
for
that,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
have
to
forego
our
long-standing
debts
and
obligations
to
our
neighborhoods
I.
Think
that
we
can
balance
out
both
you
know
by
seeing
this.
This
is
a
good
step
in
that
direction.
B
E
You,
sir,
could
I
just
again,
of
course,
offer
just
a
little
bit
more.
Yes,
you
know,
despite
going
from
143
million
dollars
in
reserves
down
to
in
the
high
80s,
we
have
replenished
it
further
to
an
extent
for
the
councilman
Carlson's
common.
But
those
are
the
types
of
actions
you
mentioned.
Increasing
the
millage,
that's
included.
Those
are
the
types
of
actions
that
the
credit
rating
agencies
pay
attention
to.
The
you
drew
it
down.
We
got
it,
you're
replenishing
it
and
you've
got
the
political
will
to
get
additional
revenue
from
from
someplace.
E
Those
are
very,
very
positive
and
that's
what
that's?
What
has
helped
us
increase
our
credit
ratings,
despite
dipping
heavily
into
the
reserves,
you
know
the
rating
agencies
will
read
what
is
printed
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Times.
They
may
watch
that
they
may
be
watching
out
or
they
may
watch
it
later.
They
take
into
account
all
of
this
data,
not
just
the
numbers,
but
also
the
discussion
and
the
dialogue
and
the
action.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
B
D
D
Don't
know
how
many
we
have
left
I,
don't
know
if
it's
been
the
pattern
of
the
city
to
continue
to
do
hybrids
and
that
sort
of
thing,
but
I
did
notice
in
the
budget
book
that
at
least
as
far
as
I
could
see.
We
are
purchasing
five
sedans
quote
unquote,
one
for
HR
2
for
the
technology
department
and
two
for
solid
waste.
So
I
picture
little,
you
know
little
inexpensive,
you
know
two-door
or
four-door
sedans
relatively
inexpensive.
D
They
should
a
budget
price
here
of
anywhere
from
25
to
30
thousand
dollars,
depending
on
which
department
with
that
said,
I
would
love
at
least
a
commitment
before
we
get
to
the
budget
hearings
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
in
writing,
doesn't
have
to
be
part
of
the
budget
book
to
say
that
why
why
don't
we?
Why
don't
we
switch
into
an
electric
fleet?
You
know-
and
this
is
a
good
opportunity.
I
know
we
can't
switch
our
three
or
four
hundred
cars
that
we
have,
but
this
is
the
first
five.
So
why
not?
D
Why
not
the
first
five?
Why
don't
we
go
electric
I?
Looked
it
up
online,
a
little
while
I
got
to
see
what
a
volt
costs
and
of
not
that
we
have
to
get
a
Chevy
Volt,
but
just
for
an
example
that
seems
to
be
a
comparable
car
and
it
appears
to
be
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
thirty
to
thirty,
two
to
thirty
thousand
thirty,
three
thousand
dollars.
You
have
one
Charlie.
You
have
the
bolt.
F
D
You
know
starting
to
switch
over
to
electric
vehicles
and
it
is
the
way
of
the
future
I
know
we
have
to
figure
out
where
we
charge
them
and
that
sort
of
thing,
but
there
are
options
there
are
options,
that's
number
one,
and
as
long
as
I
have
two
floor
to
other
things.
Mr.
chairman,
one
of
our
good
friends,
Viva
Viva
Chabad
I,
talked
to
her
yesterday
she's
my
appointee
to
the
budget
advisory
and
vibha
and
she's
great
she's
got
great
ideas
and
I
said
vivo.
What
what
do
you
want
in
the
budget
cuz?
D
B
D
B
Talking
about
the
the
the
so
called
autism
Park
for
New
Tampa
that
that's
we're
in
in
2017
as
part
of
that
budget,
we
secured
about
ninety
thousand
dollars
for
the
design
and
development
of
that
park
right.
There
are
some
challenges
right
now
with
regards
to
the
area
in
terms
where
it
will
be
placed
within
New
Tampa
and
we're
in
discussions
with
the
administration
on
that.
But
that
is
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
pushing
for,
which
is
what
this
was.
D
D
Finally,
my
last
item
is
wmb
e
on
the
on
the
minority
and
women-owned
business,
and
that
sort
of
thing
I
think
we
need
in
mr.
Bennett
and
I
talked
about
this
yesterday
with
Dennis
I
think
we
need
more
personnel
that
Department
got
cut,
I,
think
it
pretty
much
got
cut
in
half
during
the
recession.
We're
not
in
the
recession
anymore,
we're
out
of
the
recession
and
I
think
that
we
can
talk
all
we
want
about
WME,
but
if
we're
really
gonna
make
some
more
some
strides
I
think
we
need
more
personnel.
E
Sorry,
sir,
you
would
say
all
three
of
those
items
and,
of
course,
the
sustainability
and
the
hybrid
vehicles,
the
chief
of
staff,
just
handed
me,
some
some
current
information
regarding
progress
that
the
city
has
made
and
I
can
get
you
more
information
as
to
what
those
types
of
sedans
are
that
we
anticipate
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty,
you
probably
know.
As
you
all
probably
know,
one
of
our
major
concentration
areas
has
been
compressed
national
natural
gas
for
our
solid
waste
fleet.
E
H
Gentlemen,
several
phone
calls
about
a
couple
of
my
items
that
were
publicized
but
I
guess:
I
got
a
lot
of
tremendous
calls
that
a
lot
of
them
were
asking.
Why
didn't
I
ad
about
housing?
That's
a
concern.
H
We
talked
about,
the
baby
was
cut,
but
the
housing
department
was
cut
too,
and
when
you
look
at
it,
we
have
a
housing
crisis
within
the
city
temple
and
there
were
worked
over
there.
Those
those
little
ladies
are
over
there
working,
but
they
don't
have
enough
people
to
feel
the
calls
the
concerns
to
be
out
there,
helping
people
to
get
some
of
the
programs
that
are
good,
that
we
have
that
people
just
don't
know
about,
because
we
have
all
the
programs.
H
Look
for
so
I
think
for
me.
We
have
to
look
at
where
I
crisis
points
are
within
the
city
and
we
know
housing
is
a
crisis
right
now.
If
we
don't
have
people
asked
on
the
phone
to
help
people
who
are
in
need,
then
what
good
are
we
we're?
Not
getting
information
out
there
and
a
marketing
strategy
way
or
not
there
in
the
community,
I
mean
I'm.
Gonna,
be
honest
with
you.
We
know
what
the
housing
crisis
locations
are,
but
we
have
a
building
this
way.
I
don't
live
it.
H
If
I
don't
have
a
car
I'm,
barely
making
out
how
do
I
get
way
out
there?
You
got
to
bring
some
services
a
little
bit
closer.
We
got
to
find
some
bacon
bills
that
we
own
or
something
another
little
portion
that
we
can
bring
some
of
our
services
closer
to
the
people
who
are
most
vulnerable
and
needed.
B
G
If
I
made
you
a
quick,
comic
and
John
Bennett
chief
of
staff
council,
my
goods
I
appreciate
that
feedback
for
two
reasons,
one,
as
probably
all
of
you
know,
the
mayor
just
kicked
off
that
affordable
housing,
advisory
team
and
the
first
thing
that
typically
does
is
try
to
identify
the
city's
level
of
service
and
the
Delta
between
what's
needed
and
what
we
should
be
able
to
supply
to
the
community.
Some
of
that
coincides
with
the
fact
that
she's
committed
to
bringing
government
closer
to
the
community
and
lemon
Street.
G
You
know
I
heard
you
on
the
on
that
side.
I.
She
was
on
the
phone
with
Vanessa
yesterday
over
over
things
on
that
side
of
the
city,
so
bringing
government
closer
having
the
affordable
housing
advisory
team
defining
level
service
defining
the
gaps
is
exactly
where
we're
trying
to
head
in
that.
So
I
think
we're
on
the
right
trajectory,
but
we
need
deliverables,
as
you
mentioned,.
H
Pardon
me,
I
did
receive
a
memorandum
from
the
mayor
and
I
am
I
too
knew
and
respected
to
mr.
Benz
was
coming
board
and
was
trying
to
be
some
mediators
to
some
of
these
items
at
all
council
talking
about.
We
can
really
appreciate
that
when
I
still
look
at
the
the
EMS
I
still
look
at
we're,
seeing
a
peak
service
and
I'm
still
trying
to
understand
that.
Well,
we
already
have
two
units
doing
peak
service,
so
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
why
we
said
an
additional
rescue
car.
H
When
we've
already
got
rescue
car
to
the
city,
I
mean
we
got
a
big
old
bay
that
were
warehouse
for
our
fire
rescue
equipment.
Warehouse
there's
a
place
that
that
we
talked
about
that
D
constant
that
could
be
housed
there
and
that
Bay
at
16
can
be
opened
up
in
one
of
those
cars
are
not
being
utilized,
we'll
still
be
saving
money
and
put
one
of
those
cars
they
don't
have
to
be
at
ten
I
can
make
a
compromise.
H
You
can
go
to
16
right
so
and
we
have
set
up
some
1212
have
a
full
24
hour
running
car
service
versus
you
know:
I
want
to
save
the
city
money
I'm,
not
harping
they're,
trying
to
spin
spin
spin,
but
I
still
think
you
know.
I
can
I'm
appreciative
to
the
try
to
cover
the
compromise,
but
there
still
is
a
better
way
and
I
just
see
a
better
way,
as
we
still
have
a
24
hour
car.
G
An
excellent
point
in
consultation
with
the
fire
chief
and
the
revenue
and
finance
staff.
We
started
with
a
balanced
budget
view
on
this,
and
what
we
did
is
when
we
are
whiteboarding
this.
Just
as
of
yesterday,
which
led
to
the
memo,
we
saw
opportunities
that
within
a
balanced
budget
to
not,
you
know,
obviously
we're
in
general
fund
and
we're
in
other
funds
for
the
rescue
car.
This
is
the
way
to
stay
within
the
balanced
budget
and
supply
that
level
of
service
that
we
talked
about
the
peak.
G
As
you
know,
in
the
fire
service
there's
really
two
dynamics.
One
is
time
on
scene,
which
is
a
level
of
service
and
response,
and
then
there's
volume,
and
when
the
fire
chief
looked
at
the
the
time
on
scene,
as
well
as
the
volume
in
that
space
they
felt
like
this
was
the
model
that
we
could
do,
which
is
already
encumbered
because,
of
course,
peak
services
or
peak
dynamics
is
based
on
kind
of
an
overtime
model,
overlaid
overlaid
against,
whatever
the
demand
might
be
in
the
field.
G
There
is
an
overtime
budget
to
work
with
already
that's
why
we
didn't
really
have
to
adjust
the
budget
to
make
this
happen.
The
Capitol
item
of
the
vehicle
is
a
fund
which
allows
us
to
that
vehicle
in
the
field
within
its
turnout
time
from
production.
So
we
felt
like
the
compromise
within
the
balance
budget,
was
the
the
most
viable
option
to
get
started
on
what
the
vision
was
to
serve
the
East
Tampa
residence.
Well,.
H
Iii
appreciate
that,
but
you
know
I
still
feel
that
we
can
get
there
still.
Are
you
joking
it
there
yeah
my
last
thing:
I'll
I
do
like
the
idea
is
I
know.
Mr.
chairman,
the
Chairman
is
also
fighting
for
Parks
and
Recreation.
We
need
things
all
over
the
city,
so
I
can
see
where
we're
going
with
that
for
sure,
but
it
still
is
not
addressing.
The
district.
H
Five
needs
its
addressing
the
need
throughout
the
whole
city,
but
right
now
he's
not
addressing
a
district
five
name,
so
we
still
need
to
have
conversations
irreverence
to
district
5.
We
talked
about
some
options:
I'm
comfortable
too,
from
CRA
versus
general
know:
I'm,
comparable
with
that
I.
The
CRA
chairperson
summer
of
people
I
did
contact
me.
They
would
love
for
the
general
fund
to
fund
at
all,
but
they
are
comparable
to
working
hand
in
hand.
So
I
think
these
were
still
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction.
H
N
Couple
of
points
based
on
what
my
colleagues
have
said,
number
one
councilmember
Goods,
you
talked
about
affordable
housing,
don't
forget,
remember
the
documentation
at
the
last
CRA
meeting,
affordable
housing
by
law
should
be
at
a
major
part
of
the
CRA
efforts
and
as
we're
going
through
the
strategic
plans
with
them.
I
think
we'll
talk
about
this
in
the
CRA
means,
but
I
think
we
need
to
give
them
the
guideline
and
expectation
they're
going
to
spend
a
major
part
of
their
efforts
on
affordable
housing
and
we
can
partner
with
the
city
on
that.
N
N
The
other
thing
I
was
thinking
about
what
councilmember
dink
Felder
was
talking
about
before
about,
and
we
were
talking
about
the
earlier
item
and
the
vote,
my
understanding
or
recollection
is
that
in
the
spring
sometime
there's
an
early
meeting
where
the
mayor
will
have
us
have
a
conversation
about
the
budget.
I,
don't
remember:
if
my
memory
is
right
or
not,
is
there
some
conversation
about
the
budget
early
in
the
year?
Yes,.
E
Sir
typically
will
come
before
you
give
you
an
update,
a
mid-year
review,
as
we
call
it
as
a
matter
of
fact.
You
know
just
for
educational
purposes
to
the
viewing
public.
You
know,
we've
got
a
balanced
budget
for
you
for
fiscal
year
20
and,
of
course,
fiscal
year,
19
isn't
even
over
yet.
So
we
will
bring
you
a
mid-year
review.
Talking
about
how
the
budget
that
you
you
will
approve
is
doing
and
how
we
did
in
the
year.
N
N
Goodies
and
count
before
and
they
get
to
get
the
budget
approved
and
she
cut
me
off.
I
think
I
talked
about
the
try.
She
cut
me
off
and
said:
that's
not
who
I
am
and
that's
not
what
I
want
to
do.
I
want
to
work
with
everybody.
I
want
to
get
things
done
and
I
think
in
the
in
the
era
of
era
of
collegiality,
which
I
think
she's
trying
to
promote
and
we're
trying
to
promote
I.
N
Think
in
that
in
that
update,
what
I
would
suggest
is
we
we
not
only
get
an
update
from
you
all,
but
maybe
somebody
can
facilitate
a
conversation
among
us
to
talk
about
the
systemic
issues
that
we
think
are
priorities.
We
all
have
individual
priorities,
maybe
for
our
districts,
but
maybe
there's
systemic
issues
like
housing
or
other
things
that
we
could
talk
about
at
that
time
next
year
to
lead
into
it.
Follow
on
that.
The
the
other
thing
is
that
councilor
dink
feller
was
talking
about
electric
cars.
N
We
have
a
new
sustainability
person
coming
on
board
and
I
think
we
talked
about
a
workshop,
but
same
thing.
If
the
mayor
and
and
chief
of
staff
would
allow,
we
can
have
that
person,
maybe
facilitate
it,
got
the
discussion
with
us
together,
because
we
hardly
ever
get
a
chance
to
talk
together
and
hear
what
each
other
thinks
and
and
talk
about
what
are
our
priorities
for
sustainability
and
the
same
thing
for
the
new
head
of
Economic
Development.
N
To
me,
that's
the
most
important
position
in
the
city,
and
we
really
should
give
some
some
input
and
guidance
because
we're
listening
in
constituents
all
the
time.
Ultimately,
they
report
to
achieve
a
staff
and
the
mayor
not
to
us,
but
once
a
year,
or
at
least
as
their
onboarding.
If
we
can
give
some
collective
thoughts,
it
will
help
help
lead
to
the
collegiality
that
we
all.
C
Carlson
and
Councilman
Dinko
there's
something
that
pass
has
been
talked
about.
While
we
have
the
money
here,
making
Tampa
green
city,
electric
cars
are
great:
they're,
fantastic,
with
70%
of
natural
gas
coming
from
fracking
I,
wonder
what
fracking
hole,
we're
gonna
get
that
fracking
gas
for
the
natural
gas
part
solid
waste,
but
that's
a
different
discussion.
Joe.
Were
you
cussing?
No.
J
C
Point
being,
even
though
we
have
franchise
agreements
with
certain
utilities,
solar
panels
on
top
of
every
governmental
building
will
help
pay
for
our
electricity,
which,
in
the
long
run,
will
help
save
us
money
which,
in
the
long
run,
will
help
pay
to
charge
the
electric
vehicles
that
we
so
desperately
want.
You're
here,
if
we
can
start
the
discussion
now,
yes,
councilman
Carlson
is
correct.
We
need
to
put
money
away.
Councilman
goods
made
the
point
that
we
have
extra
money.
If
we
could
start
the
conversation
now
about
Tampa
becoming
a
green
city.
C
B
Sir,
any
word:
okay
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
to
build
on
councilman
Dean
Felder's
comment
on
the
autism
Park.
Thank
you
for
that
sir
I
know
obviously
you're
a
big
supporter
I'm
sure
we
all
are
you're,
obviously
a
person
of
great
compassion.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A
hundred
and
ten
percent,
as
it
applies
to
that
the
autism
Park
I,
had
obviously
made
my
position
known
on
that
and
I
certainly
would
like
to
see
this
budget
take
some
steps
in
that
direction.
This
is
certainly
something
I
have
to
you
further
this
correspondence.
B
B
We
saw
that
the
last
administration
was
the
autism
friendly
Tampa
initiative
and
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
really
goes
forward,
especially
in
a
part
of
the
city
where
there
are
so
many
families,
families
raising
children
with
special
needs,
a
part
of
the
city,
that's
growing
I
mean
New
Tampa,
three,
three,
six
four
seven
had
about
8,000
folks
in
1990,
about
25,000
folks
in
2000,
and
it's
about
50-60
thousand
and
last
year
we
just
approved
another
eight
hundred
homes
over
in
k-bar
ranch.
It
is
growing
like
always
joke.
New
Tampa
is
a
size.
B
F
B
B
N
Any
opposed
yes,
sir
one
of
the
things
I've
been
pushing,
which
could
be
done
with
all
for
transportation,
but
all
for
transportation
is
being
delayed
by
a
long
time
is
working
on
the
design,
the
planning
for
neighborhood
commercial
districts
and
knowing,
after
we've
gone
through
this
long
to
budget
discussion,
we
don't
really
have
extra
money
inside
the
city.
I
went
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
they
do
have
some
grant
money
that
they
allocate
once
a
year.
N
What
I
would
propose
is
that
we
engage
them
in
a
conversation
about
allocating
ten
or
twenty
thousand
dollars
for
for
each
district,
and
maybe
maybe
two
for
District
five,
because
there's
Seminole
Heights
and
Tampa
Heights,
plus
East
Tampa
there,
and
so
I
talked
to
them
about
maybe
getting
50
to
$100,000
to
service
as
grants
to
do
master
planning.
Hi
Park
has
just
done
gone
through
a
plan
that
cost
$20,000
but
they're.
There
comprehensive
plans
on
how
people
can
walk
and
shop
at
other
things
in
the
area.
N
Else
yeah,
the
last
thing
I
talked
about
Terrence,
a
BIA
who,
from
the
Florida
center
of
USF
who's,
been
working
with
public
Public,
Works
and
Parks
and
Recreation
I.
Don't
know
if
we
have
time
on
on
October
24th
the
one
that
I
proposed
I
added
on
to
October
24th
right.
Is
that
right?
No,
the
one
that
the
one
where
I'm
going
to
present
the
economic
data,
that's
on
October
24th
did
I
make
that
clear.
I.
N
Okay
and
then,
and
then
I'd
like
Terrence
a
BIA
to
come
back.
Maybe
and
if
we
hold
a
workshop
in
in
November
but
they've
got
she
can
either.
She
can
brief
us
each
individually,
but
I
think
it
would
be
worth
us
having
a
conversation
about
that
study.
It's
comprehensive.
It
shows
what
what
will
happen
to
South
Tampa
and
the
rest
of
Tampa
with
sea
level
rise,
and
so
it
really
affects
the
way
we
plan
a
budget.
A
A
C
J
Congratulate
deputy
chief
O'connor,
who
I
believe
is
retiring
today
or
this
week.
Thank
you
for
his
service.
You
may
know
his
wife,
Mary
O'connor,
who
retired
a
couple
years
ago,
was
I,
believe
deputy
chief
as
well
at
a
time.
So
that's
that
and
also
I
know
that
we
have
this
hurricane
coming
our
way,
but
Saturday
August
31st
at
6
p.m.
there's
a
place
in
West
Hampton
called
Mickey's
subs
little
sandwich
shop
locally
owned.
They
are
at
4411,
North
Armenia,
just
north
of
Martin
Luther
King.
We're
gonna
do
like
a
little
ribbon
cutting.
H
You,
mr.
chairman,
we
talked
about
code
enforcement
extensive
this
morning
and
I
took
up
that
option.
You
gave
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
that
gentleman.
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
for
lugar
department
and
total
fools
to
attend
a
workshop
on
January
30
2020,
discuss
options
for
the
fees
and
fines
collected
as
a
result
of
code
violations
be
removed
from
the
general
fund
and
deposited
to
a
separate
trust
account.
Taking
with
you
laughter
returning
it
to
the
individuals
that
do
not
have
a
funds
to
bring
their
property
into
compliance.
C
B
B
F
H
J
B
Then
I
also
I
know
Bob
McDonnell
has
retired
I
wanted
to
thank
mr.
McDonagh
for
his
service
at
the
city.
I
know,
we've
talked
about
his
forthcoming
replacement
and
Councilman.
Carlson
spoke
very
well
on
that
and
I
and
I
appreciate
that.
Also
one
encourage
the
administration
to
have
a
diverse
hire,
certainly
somebody
that
reflects
the
diversity
of
the
city
and
our
in
our
pluralism.
I
think
that's
something
that's
very,
very
important
for
this
position.
Yes,
sir
yeah.
D
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
that
because
just
to
clarify
somebody
said
well,
I
know
that
that
position
person
works
for
the
mayor,
but
we
all
know
that
that
person
traditionally
has
also
worked
for
the
CRA.
So
in
some
ways
mr.
Joe
seat
Row,
is
our
chair
of
our
CRA
I.
Would
love
for
the
administration
to
include
Joe
if
he
wants
to
do
it
yeah
as
part
of
that
search.
B
A
D
C
You
councilman
deep-felt
for
it
for
that
and
and
yes,
I
agree
with
all
the
thoughts
and
opinions
here.
I
think
it
would
be
wise
that
any
appointees
or
people
that
are
considering
are
being
considered
for
that
come
actually
before
the
CRA
as
it
is
higher
T,
so
that
if
there
is
any
personal
questions
that
anybody
wants
to
ask
and
that
we
as
a
CRA
board
and
have
full
consensus
on
that.
So
yes,
I,
agree,
Council
I
believe.
