A
D
E
A
F
Good
morning,
City
Council
how's
everyone
doing
this
morning.
My
name
is
grant
Malek
I
am
a
chairman
of
the
Y
CDC
I've,
been
with
this
stellar
organization.
Now,
since
2015
and
just
been
an
absolute
privilege
to
be
on
this
board
and
serve
the
community,
the
CAC
first
I
want
to
congratulate
each
and
every
one
of
you
on
your
well-run
campaign.
Since
when
use
our
new
city
council
members,
we
really
do
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
once
again,
congratulations
regarding
Ybor
City.
F
What's
going
on
in
Ybor,
go
ahead
and
cut
it
right
to
the
chase.
Get
right
to
the
chase.
Eber
is
truly
going
through
a
renaissance.
It
is
absolutely
amazing
to
see
what
is
going
on
what
is
happening
in
Ybor,
and
it's
just
since
I've
been
there
since
2006.
It
is
literally
a
night
and
day.
You
know
that
said.
We
do
still
have
some
work
to
go.
F
There's
a
little
things
there,
but
to
say
that
Ybor,
just
kind
of
right
there
right
at
the
precipice
of
even
more
greatness
I'd,
say
that
we're
close
and
we're
right
there
with
that
said,
I'd
like
to
go
over
some
key
topics
and
accomplishments
that
we
did
in
order
for
you
to
understand
or
easily
understand
from
a
flow
standpoint,
I've
broken
it
down
by
Planning
and
Development
Public,
Safety
transportation,
infrastructure,
other
key
activities
outside
engagements
and
invents
with
that
said,
let's
begin
planning
and
development.
The
Ybor
City
vision
plan.
F
2020
process
has
been
well
underway
since
March
with
several
community
meetings
accomplished,
the
hp's
team,
led
by
me
moralo,
will
compete,
will
complete
the
five-year
community
action
plan
by
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
on
May
15th.
We
want
to
personally
invite
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
come
to
the
children's
board
from
5:30
to
7:30
to
go
ahead
and
you
can
get
a
glimpse
as
to
where
we
feel
the
community
is
going
in
our
vision
plan.
F
F
Masonite
international
announced
the
expansion
of
their
business
in
Ybor
City
and
broke
ground
on
the
second
building.
At
the
end
of
last
year,
may
abib
or
LLC
the
owner
of
the
historic
Seidenberg
cigar
factory
that
is
now
home
to
transferwise,
completed
their
Westside
facade,
grant
improvements,
including
the
repair
of
the
damaged
cupola
from
the
2001
Camden
apartment,
a
more
fire,
hopefully
we'll,
never
have
to
see
one
of
those
again.
F
The
Ybor
hotel,
I
think
this
is
just
amazing,
so
the
Ybor
Hotel
is
under
construction
at
15th
and
7th,
and
the
project
is
set
to
be
complete
during
the
first
quarter
of
2020.
Can
you
believe
that
that
Tampa
is
gonna
have
a
four-star
hotel
and
spending
you
right
here
in
Ybor
City
that
isn't
a
testament
to
the
growth
and
everything
that
we
have
come
through?
And
it's
due
to
your
support
that
we're
able
to
say
ybor
city
now
has
a
four
star
hotel.
It's
going
to
be
incredible.
It's
gonna
be
fantastic.
F
Approximately
ten
companies
have
been
meeting
with
staff
with
Courtney
Brenda
and
chlorine
about
potential
locations
in
Ybor
City.
This
is
all
positive
economic
development,
news
and
efforts,
and
so
far
from
my
understanding,
the
engagements
with
these
ten
variety
of
companies
has
been
very
well.
They
want
to
make
their
home
right
here.
F
Rideshare
signs
if
you've
seen
more
intelligent
on
sixteenth
on
a
various
of
the
strides
side,
streets,
ride,
share,
science
have
been
installed
and
really
the
whole
methodology
about
this
was
that
pedestrians,
when
they're
ready
to
go
home,
they
know
where
to
go
to
pick
up
their
uber.
We
think
that
will
reduce
traffic
and
we
think
it
will
promote
a
more
positive,
safer
environment
for
our
residents
out
of
community
concerns.
F
Staff
is
working
with
the
Transportation
Department
on
multi
way,
stop
studies
at
North,
20th
and
East
4th
and
East
5th,
and
ease
5th
Avenue
at
17th
Street
that
little
pocket
area
in
Ybor
City,
a
lot
of
new
homes
are
actually
being
built.
A
lot
of
single-family
homes
are
being
built,
and
so
we
feel
there's
going
to
be
a
need
for
stop
signs
there.
F
But
if
you
look
at
the
bigger
overall
theme
is
that
as
I've
quickly
told
meƶ
Courtney,
it's
at
the
minute
that
young
families
want
to
move
to,
he
bore
young
bombs
want
to
roll
their
strollers
down
7th
Avenue.
That's
how
you
know:
we've
hit
the
promised
land,
and
so
we
feel
by
putting
in
these
stop
signs.
It'll
help
these
single-family
homes
and
again
allow
the
diversity
of
Ybor
to
flourish.
F
We
hate
we
appreciated
homeless
officer,
randy
whitney
for
those
of
you
don't
know.
Randy
Whitney
is
besides
an
incredible
human
being.
She
was
our
homeless
liaison
officer
and-
and
she
was
just
incredible-
she
recently
moved
on
with
ntpd
doing
other
work.
It's
absolutely
huge
loss
for
us,
but
her
replacement
officer
hailey,
has
been
doing
an
incredible
job
and
we
aren't
very
excited
to
be
working
with
her
as
well.
F
Why
CDC,
staff,
business
and
land
owners
are
working
closely
with
TPD
to
respond
to
district
district
complaints
of
weekly
pop-up
parties
on
the
eastern
side
of
the
district.
We've
been
having
some
issues
there
and
we
feel
that
working
with
TPD
we're
finally
getting
some
traction
as
to
how
to
stop
these
pop-up
parties
from
happening.
F
F
F
It
is
just
amazing
to
see
these
streetcars
are
fill
constantly
on
the
weekends
and
it's
I
think
it's
a
really
good,
where
we're
headed
at
with
multimodal
transportation
within
the
city
of
Tampa
staff,
coordinated
with
FDOT
for
electric
message
is
on
the
boards
on
the
interstate
to
alert
and
remind
drivers.
There
shall
be
no
truck
traffic
on
21st
and
22nd
recently
about
a
month
ago,
a
fuel
huge
fuel
gallon
truck
rolled
over
and
hit
one
of
Richard
GaN
smarts
properties.
F
Thank
God
did
not
combust,
but
you
know
a
few
years
ago
when
we
set
up
the
21st
22nd
Street
corridor.
You
know
we
made
it
mandatory
that
no
truck
shall
be
allowed
and
that's
a
perfect
incident.
Why,
as
a
no
truck
should
she'll
be
on
21st
22nd,
they
can
take
the
bypass
from
I-4
over
the
Lee
Roy
Selmon
and
again
it's
something
we
want
to
continue
to
be
vigilant.
F
Infrastructure,
the
7th
Avenue
Gateway
Arch
by
the
new
CHEO
Parkway
and
the
Palm
Avenue
monument
repairs
and
regrouting
were
recently
completed.
District
tree,
great
cleaning,
painting
and
replacements
are
complete.
Staff
continues
to
work
with
many
departments
on
district-wide
management,
which
includes
operational
service,
demands,
infrastructure
projects,
special
events,
coordination
and
customer
service
issues,
and
if
I
could
just
go
off
and
say
something
the
ladies:
we
have
in
our
office
Brenda,
Courtney
and
crane.
They
really
made
my
job
incredibly
easy
and
they
they're
really
the
unsung
kingo's
and
unsung
heroes
and
keeping
us
working
and
running
efficiently.
F
F
The
Centennial
Park
sound
system
is
operating
12
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
playing
music
appropriate
for
Ebers
environment
in
coordination
with
the
arts
department,
a
sound
project
depicting
sounds
of
Ybor
and
the
late
1800s
and
early
1900s
will
transmit
daily
through
the
new
system
for
the
next
few
months.
I
implore
you
come
out
in
the
middle
of
the
day
and
come
walk
and
listen
to
it.
It's
actually.
F
It's
just
really
incredible
that
we
now
have
a
music
in
the
park
in
Centennial
Park,
outside
engagement
staff,
provided
an
eboard
development
update
to
visit,
Tampa,
Bay
and
hotel
booking
agents
to
assist
with
their
recruiting
efforts.
We
feel
that
as
possible,
because
you
know
what
a
lot
of
these
agents
is.
They
don't
even
consider
Ybor
by
giving
them
on
a
radar
and
map.
We
feel
this
is
going
to
be
a
positive
or
an
economic
development
in
lieu
of
a
new
hotel
coming
and
the
Renaissance
of
Ybor
that
is
occurring.
F
Why
CBC
kicked
off
a
spring
photo
contest
in
an
effort
to
build
on
its
image,
library
that
promotes
Ybor
inspires
the
arts.
It's
just
a
really
neat
project.
I
think
what
makes
it
so
neat
is.
If
you
recall
a
year
ago,
someone
in
the
city
of
Tampa
found
pictures
from
over
a
hundred
years
ago.
F
We
had
out
of
the
few
events
that
we
hosted.
We
had
nearly
over
115,000
people
attend
these
events
now
think
about
that.
That
is
a
massive
number.
Some
of
these
events
include
the
crew
of
Santiago
night
parade
James
II
rooster
parade
which,
if
you've
never
been
it's
actually
a
lot
of
fun.
Rough
Riders,
st.
Patrick's
Day
parade
Tampa,
Pride
Parade,
which
I
spoke
to
Carrie
West,
he's
saying
now
that
we
are
the
second
or
third
largest
Pride
Festival
in
the
United
States
in
the
state
of
Florida,
which
is
pretty
incredible.
F
Cuban
Science
Festival
had
over
5,000
attendees
Festa
italiana
weekend
had
over
15,000
attendees
Founders
Day
a
custom
car
show
I
believe
over
200
cars
were
set
up
a
shop
on
seventh
Avenue.
It
was
actually
it's
a
pretty
neat
to
see
all
his
old
custom
cars
lined
off.
It
was
a
great
event.
People
just
walk
down
the
streets
looked
at
cars
and
it
was
really
neat.
F
F
F
One
recently,
you
guys
vote
to
approve
the
recent
historic
preservation,
property
tax
exemption
applications
relative
to
restoration,
renovation
or
rehabilitation
of
properties
located
at
915,
North
aviĆ³n
de
repĆŗblica
de
Cuba
in
1902
north
a
beyond
pĆŗblica
de
cuba,
like
we
cannot
tell
you
how
much
that
has
meant
to
us
and
helping
us
with
that,
because,
right
now
those
properties
were
not
in
good
shape,
and
now
we
feel
we're.
Gonna
have
two
new
beautiful
properties
and
once
again,
City
Council.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
helping
us
with
that.
F
Finally,
in
closing
that,
in
summary,
that
is
my
report,
this
will
be
the
last
time
that
I
will
be
presenting
to
you,
as
my
time
will
be
rolling
off
here
pretty
shortly,
but
I
would
like
to
say.
One
thing
is
somebody
recently
asked
me
like
you
know,
what's
the
toughest
part
of
this
job,
I
was
like
well
in
general,
it's
actually
pretty
easy,
but
what
I
will
say
is
man
missing
that
guy
Josie,
trill
I,
don't
know
how
we're
ever
going
to
be
able
to
fill
that
void?
G
Just
a
few
comments:
first
on
the
four
star
hotel:
that's
going
in
I'm
glad
to
see
that,
because
it
fills
in
the
gaps
along
7th,
Avenue
buildings
were
demolished,
some
burned.
You
know
to
fire
and
whatnot,
especially
on
the
opposite
side.
History
like
the
blue,
ribbon
and
right
next
for
the
7-eleven.
Those
properties
have
been
vacant
since
and
what's
exciting,
and
what
I
like
most
about
where
that
hotel
is
going,
is
you
have
a
legitimate
transit?
G
Stop
right
there,
the
streetcar
stops
right
behind
it
and
with
all
the
growth
you
call
it
the
evil
Renaissance,
but
the
Renaissance
is
going
through
all
into
downtown
Water
Street
everything
you're
gonna
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
traffic.
You
know,
especially
with
the
free
fares
or
the
suspended
fares
for
the
next
few
years.
Ridership
is
up,
I
mean
I,
take
the
streetcar
as
much
as
I
can
from
widening
station
to
Ybor,
and
the
streetcar
is
usually
packed.
You
know,
for
the
most
part,
it's
packed
to
max
capacity
now.
G
F
G
F
A
H
I
F
We're
having
the
7-eleven
we've
written
them
letters
before
asking
them
to.
Please
not
allow
vagrants
to
sit
in
front
of
your
store
and
collect
change
and
go
in
and
buy
cigarettes
and
bla
bla
bla
bla
we're
having
difficulties
there
with
that,
because
they
don't
seem
to
be
getting
the
message.
It's
almost
I
believe
that
they
want
the
vagrants
there
because
they
are
coming
in
to
buy
cigarettes
and
so
forth.
We
have
that
in
discussions
at
our
board
meetings
that
we
would
like
to
start
taking
a
stronger
action
against
this,
but
keep
in
mind.
F
We
did
discover
from
legal
I
believe
that
it's
and
due
to
a
ruling
from
a
federal
court,
there's
only
so
much
that
we
can
do
so
now.
We're
looking
at
the
thing.
That's
trying
to
get
the
property
owner
on
board.
Saying
hey
need
to
tell
your
management
that
these
people
we
would
prefer
that
these
people
are
not
allowed
to
loiter,
because
it's
right
there
in
front
of
Centro
it's
right
where
a
lot
of
families
10:00
it's
right.
Where
a
lot
of
visitors
attend
and
it's
it
hurts
us
so.
I
F
Looks
like
an
eyesore
and
again,
if
you're
out
trying
to
have
the
lunch.
You
know
if
you're,
your
wife
and
your
child,
and
you
know
if
somebody
come
up
and
you're
panhandling.
You
know
that's
something.
You
really
is
that.
Does
that
make
that
lunch
experience
so
much.
You
know
nicer
that
you
just
wanna
know:
oh
I'm
gonna
go
do
that
again
tomorrow,
here
I'll
even
bring
50
cents.
You
know
it's!
That's
the
point
that
I'm
getting
at
I
take.
I
F
F
F
So
this
is
a
as
a
joke
until
you
know.
One
thing
that
drives
me
crazy
is
that
if
there's
a
problem
and
I
think
it
could
be
a
serious
problem
as
I
want
to
take
care
of
it
right,
then
in
there
right
now,
for
over
a
year
we
worked
with
TPD
on
this
pop-up
parties.
What
was
going
on
is
basically
around
2:00
a.m.
you
know,
everyone
would
receive
attacks,
saying
oh,
hey,
go
to
this
location
and
7th
Avenue
I.
F
Think
one
of
them
was
called
the
Broadway
bar
I
might
have
been
one
of
the
area's
come
to
this
location
and
and
everyone
just
come,
it's
a
pop-up
party.
There
was
one
night
we
had
300
vehicles
out
there,
I
went
and
personally
walked
at
my
own,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
underage
drinking.
There
was
a
lot
of
drug
use
going
on
and
it
just
shouldn't
be
taking
place,
nor
should
it
be
happening.
F
Finally,
starting
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago,
we
started
getting
traction
from
TPD
I'm,
strongly
enforcing
it
and
how
we
did
that
was.
Is
we
went
to
the
property
owners
and
reminded
them
that
if
it
happens
on
your
premises,
you're
liable,
and
so
that
kind
of
woke
a
few
people
up
and
the
pop-up
parties
seem
to
be
decreasing.
I
I
But
actually,
all
of
our
development
heavily
heavily
stopped
the
22nd,
so
hopefully
in
the
future,
that
we
can
go,
maybe
a
little
pasta
and
we
can
help
those
folks
pass
that
become
better
better
than
their
business
practices.
Give
them
maybe
help
some
help
with
some
grants
or
some
facade
to
help
that
that
that
eastern
portion,
sometimes
when
we
send
the
helping
hand,
the
people
they
tend
to
do
better
things
to
tend
to
happen.
Everybody
gets
a
piece
of
the
pie,
so
we
have
to
look
at
that
aspect.
I
I
said
it
just
say:
we're
gonna,
stronghold,
the
police,
tender
cuz,
every
pop-up,
now
I,
don't
agree
with
underage
drinking
I,
don't
believe
with
any
type
of
violence,
but
sometimes
we
have
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution,
not
just
say:
there's
a
problem
so
hopefully
that
the
hwachun
can
help
with
help
with
that
that
situation
in
a
more
proactive
spec.
What
about
economic
impact
with
it
sure
also
tell
me
about
the
trucks
I'm
new,
so
tell
me
about
the
trucks
are
on
21st
22nd
21st
goes
south
and
22nd
goes
north.
F
When
the
flyover
on
the
crossover
occurred,
Lee
Roy
Selmon,
you
have
connected
I
for
Italy,
where
Salman,
which
eventually
would
put
you
down
on
a
demo.
It
was
agreed
that,
since
we
closed
lanes
down
from
three
to
two
that
that
route
would
no
longer
be
a
thoroughfare
for
trucks,
the
FDOT
agreed
the
city
agreed
so
essentially
was
once
that
flyover
was
built
and
I
think
over
110
million
dollars
was
spent.
Just
for
this
flyover
just
to
remove
trucks,
the
rule
is
that
no
trucks
can
go
down
there.
F
The
reason
why
is
it
was
being
so
heavily
used,
it
was
buildings
were
being
crashed
into
and
again
we
almost
had
a
very
serious
incident
where
a
gas
tanker
rolled
over
and
almost
blew
up
one
of
Richard's
properties.
So
that's
the
whole
point
as
to
get
the
trucks
off
of
a
you
know.
Ybor
is
the
most
pedestrian
friendly
area
within
all
of
the
city
of
tampa.
C
F
I
F
I
I
hope
so
I
mean
he
was
a
thriving
place.
It's
a
good
economic
engine
down
there
and
I
know
a
lot
of
minority
businesses
are
been
inquiring,
but
I
know
it's
kind
of
high
down
there
with
the
rent.
So
I
don't
know.
If
some
programs
we
can
have
the
help
some
of
those
minority
entrepreneurs
get
down
in
Ybor,
so
I'm
hoping
the
future.
We
can
do
this
sure
the.
F
I,
don't
think
it's
changed,
so
I
think
it's
that
our
ancestors,
really
they
laid
they
put
the
fabric
of
Ybor
and
essentially
put
it
all
in
us
to
where
we
all
work
together.
One
example
is
that
you
know
if
one
of
the
tag
lines
or
restaurants,
if
they're
being
you
know
overwhelmed
and
they
need
pictures
or
chairs
or
something
and
their
next-door
competitor
has
no
business
that
next
or
competitor
will.
Will
they
be
like
hey
I
need
some
more
chairs
and
pitchers.
Let
me
help
you
out,
and
it's
stuff
like
that.
E
J
From
Carl
Carlson's,
just
a
quick
comment:
I'm
so
bullish
on
Ybor
that
I'm
moving
my
company
there
from
downtown
we're
waiting
on
permits,
but
as
soon
as
everything's
done,
we're
gonna
be
moving
there.
We're
moving
to
seventh
Avenue,
which,
five
years
ago,
professional
services,
firms
I
think
wouldn't
have
really
considered
doing,
but
I
think
it's
it's
converting
to
really
the
the
third
business
district
of
Tampa,
and
it
also
is
becoming
emerging
as
the
creative
and
innovation
district
of
Tampa.
J
You
look
at
the
thousands
of
IT
jobs
that
are
there
the
hundreds
at
least
of
creative
jobs.
You
know,
starting
with
Dee
Ann
Roberts
as
an
early
innovator.
Ten
fifteen
years
ago,
lots
of
people
are
moving
there
and
we
saw
the
Renaissance
of
Ybor
in
the
90s
and
then
the
converging
to
a
bar
district
and
the
bar
scene
and
entertainment
scene
is
great.
But
we
have.
This
is
emerging
vitality,
that's
very
similar
to
downtown
st.
J
Pete,
and
it
is
based
on
the
fabric
that
you
talked
about
and
it's
drawing
creative
workers
and
creative
people
to
live
there
and
I
look
forward
to
partnering
with
you,
with
my
community
hat
on
my
business
hat
on,
to
make
Ybor
City
even
more
dynamic
and
to
define
the
next
brand
and
evolution
of
in
the
future.
Excellent.
A
Other
questions
grant.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
wonderful
report.
Councilman
I
strongly
recommend
that
you
visit
the
Y
CDC
board
meetings.
Their
meetings
are
on
the
4th
Tuesday
of
every
month.
It
is
at
4
o'clock.
It's
very
informative
and
I.
Had
the
pleasure
of
working
six
years
with
the
Y
CDC
and
I
see
the
great
things
that
have
been
done
in
Ybor
City
and
then
right
after
that,
you
can
go
to
the
West
Tampa
CRA
CDC
meeting
grant.
Would
you
please
recognize
the
woman?
That's
behind
you.
F
F
K
Good
morning,
Bob
Merton
economic
development,
CRA
C
first
I
got
a
couple
things
I
like
to
talk
about,
one
of
which
is
the
House
bill,
number
nine,
which
is
a
provisions
requiring
changes
and
adjustments
to
CR
ace.
There
have
been
several
attempts
over
the
years
to
make
significant
changes
to
how
CRS
operate
and,
and
thankfully,
we've
already
proactively
taken
many
of
the
steps
that
the
the
state
has
looked
for.
Series
must
submit
an
annual
budget
to
the
county.
Within
ten
days
we
submit
our
budgets.
K
Amendments
to
budgets
month
must
also
be
submitted,
eliminates
the
requirement
the
budgeted
funds
to
be
spent
with
three
years.
This
is
something
we've
always
kept
our
eye
on
to
make
sure
that
the
money
is
used
effectively
requires
all
CRA
sunset
on
the
early
of
the
termination
date
or
September
thirtieth.
Twenty
thirty
nine
termination
date
may
be
extended
by
a
simple
majority
vote
of
the
county
or
city
that
created
the
CRA
permits
the
governing
body,
which
adopts
the
ordinance
providing
for
the
funding
of
the
trust
fund.
K
They
reduced
the
contribution
of
each
taxing
authority
below
ninety
five
percent,
but
not
below
fifty
percent.
We
have
agreements
with
the
county
depending
on
which
CRA
we're
talking
about
which
actually
does
that
beginning
March,
1st
2020
and
annually
thereafter,
each
CRA
must
file
with
the
city
or
county
that
created
listed
performance
data
and
your
report
requirements
annual
audit,
which
the
author
must
specifically
opine
that
all
expenditures
meet
the
budgeting,
reporting
and
legal
requirements
of
the
statute.
K
We
already
have
an
annual
audit
of
our
spending,
so
we're
already
complying
with
that
total
number
of
projects
started
completed
and
estimated
cost
we
actually
list
our
projects,
total
amount
expended
on
affordable
housing
do
is
spend
money
on
affordable
housing.
We
do
not
document
that
not
report,
and
we
will
do
that.
Moving
forward
assessment
of
whether
CRA
has
achieved
the
goals
of
its
community
redevelopment
plan,
as
mr.
K
Torito
will
tell
you,
the
divining
or
the
the
controlling
document
is
each
of
the
CRA
districts,
their
strategic
action
plan,
and
when
you
ask
the
legal
department,
can
this
be
done
or
can
that
be
done?
The
answer
is
always
the
same.
What
is
the
plan
saying-
and
you
can
see
right
now-
that
several
of
the
CRA
s
are
actually
updating
their
plans,
because
this
time
goes
on?
They
have
achieved
a
lot
of
milestones.
K
The
total
expenditures
which
is
contained
in
all
of
our
reports
original
assessed
property
values
on
the
creation
date
Matteson
or
reports
total
assessed
property
values.
As
of
January
1st
of
the
reporting
years,
we
give
an
update
on
an
annual
basis
based
on
the
property
appraisers
report
by
January
20th
2010,
you
arey
first
2020.
Each
share
a
must,
on
its
digital
website,
a
map
of
all
boundaries
in
total
acreage.
It's
something!
K
We've
done
since
the
beginning
post
annual
report
to
the
website
again,
something
that
we
comply
with
file
an
annual
report
with
the
county
in
the
state
we
sent
it
to
all
of
our
taxing
jurisdictions,
annual
provisions
that
we
already
do
provides
a
series
of
expend
funds.
Only
pursuant
to
an
annual
budget
adopted
by
the
CRA
board,
a
process
that
we
follow:
ethics,
training
for
CA
or
CRA
board.
As
City
Council
members.
You
are
already
received
ethics
training,
and
so
you
have
received
that
CRA
must
use
the
procurement
processes
of
the
city.
K
It's
something
that
we've
always
followed,
provisions
that
we
do
not
affect
us
termination
of
CRA
s
have
been
inactive
for
six
years.
We
do
not
have
any.
In
of
series
series
terminated
with
debt
may
continue
to
collect
revenue
to
pay
from
the
remainder
of
the
debt.
We
do
not
have
any
that
have
been
terminated
with
existing
debt,
so
the
the
legislature
has
been
concerned
with
the
activities,
a
lot
of
CRA
s
based
on
shortfalls
or
lack
of
transparency,
and
it's
something
that
our
organization
has
always
followed
with
the
direction
of
our
CRA
board.
A
G
I
hear
no,
no,
as
from
everything
that
you
said
you
know
from
the
legislature,
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
criticism,
because
other
municipalities
and
whatnot
may
have
issues,
but
we
run
everything
as
it
should
I
mean
everything
is
to
the
book.
I
think
you
know
it's
it's.
The
city
of
Tampa
is
an
example
for
the
rest
of
the
state
of
how
a
CRA
should
be
managed
and
run
I.
Think.
K
The
fact
that
we
do
not
have
to
make
any
changes
based
on
changes
syrup
suggested
by
the
Florida,
Legislature
or
mandated
by
the
legislature,
I
think,
speaks
to
that.
The
fact
that
we
already
had
these
checks
and
balances
in
place
so
I'm
very
comfortable
with
the
fact
that
we
do
run
a
transparent
operation
and
the
taxpayer
going
online
can
automatically
follow
exactly
what
goes
on
exactly.
K
Talk
about
ok,
I'll,
wait
again,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
some
of
the
programs
that
we
do.
We
have
some
new
council
members
or
actually
a
council
member.
That
is
not
exactly
new
but
has
had
a
hiatus.
One
of
the
things
I
like
to
talk
about
is
our
something
that's
very
visible
and
popular.
Our
CRA
commercial
facade
grant
program.
K
K
As
I
mentioned,
that's
the
total
numbers
as
of
April
2019
is
an
example
in
Ybor
City,
a
before
picture
after
picture.
Obviously
a
very
dramatic
seventh
Avenue
is
is
one
of
the
corridors.
That's
important.
It's
highly
visible,
it's
a
retail
corridor,
and
so
that's
an
example
of
how
that
leveraged
money
works.
A
K
K
Have
to
match
at
least
what
we
do,
but
if
you
saw
that
number
it's
actually,
the
leverage
is
more
like
four
to
one.
So
we
not
only
use
public
funds
for
this
that
were
generated
in
that
marketplace,
but
the
folks
that
are
doing
it
are
then
required
to
match
it
with
at
least
a
one-to-one.
But
in
many
cases
it's
two
and
three
and
four
to
one.
Thank.
J
Recently
was
given
a
walking
tour
of
West
AMPA
with
a
with
some
preservationist,
and
they
had
a
concern
that
they
they
spoke
highly
of
this
program,
but
had
a
concern
that
some
of
the
developers
either
didn't
know
about
it
or
it
wasn't
promoted
enough
to
them,
and
maybe
we
can
talk
about
this
offline
and
then
the
other
thing
is
that
they
felt
like
in
the
historic
areas
that
that
some
of
the
developers
weren't
being
held
accountable
to
restore
the
facades
back
to
their
original
conditions,
just
just
a
pass.
No,
no!
J
K
Well,
it's
interesting
comment
because
today
you'll
see
a
grant
on
Main
Street
and
the
the
very
purpose
of
it
is
to
restore
the
facade
of
a
historic
building
back
to
store
standards,
bringing
windows
back
and
awnings
of
a
building
of
repointing
brick
that
removes
stucco
from
it
again.
It's
a
brand
new
program
in
that
district.
It
started
last
month
and
we
have
the
first
one
was
awarded
last
month
and
the
second
one
will
be
this
month
on
both
of
them
on
Main,
Street,
I.
Think.
J
E
Dick
felt,
thank
you
McDonough,
thank
you
for,
for
all
you
and
your
staff
do
the
you
mentioned:
affordable
housing,
I'm
just
curious,
and
we
perhaps
come
back
another
day
with
a
more
comprehensive
report.
E
I,
don't
really
associate
this,
our
sparse
us
and,
as
the
CRA
you
know
with
a
whole
lot
of
affordable
housing
activities.
I
know
the
city
has
affordable
housing
component
and
we're
gonna
be
we're
all
gonna
be
dealing
with
that
in
the
near
future.
But
how
about
the
CRA
s,
any
particular
projects
jump
out.
Metro.
K
E
Many
units
is
about.
K
Similar
to
that
with
the
hundred
thousand
dollar
match
and
I'm
quite
sure
that
we'll
be
asked
the
same
in
West
Tampa
as
well
as
West
River
boo.
So
long
as
you
might
be
aware
that
there
are
actually
five
buildings
right
now
that
the
city
has
provided
match
money
through
our
housing
department
and
that
approximately
five
hundred
thousand
plus
I
think
three
million
dollars,
solidified
121
million
dollars
in
financing
for
the
five
buildings
in
the
West
River
Project.
There.
E
K
There
are
several
right
now
working
on
plans
with
that
single
family
lots
in
lists,
AMPA
single
family
lots
in
East,
Tampa
I
can
trying
to
develop
them
too,
with
a
price
point
that
makes
sense
for
the
entire
market.
One
of
the
challenges
right
now:
affordable
housing
that
title
there
there's
federal
money
for
that.
But
for
that
place
between
the
people
who
have
a
lot
of
money
and
the
people
who
don't
that's
the
difficult
one
to
match
up
with
you
know
we
did
that
with
a
Nehemiah
project
in
sulfur
springs.
K
Construction
costs
are
going
up
810
percent
a
year.
It's
a
difficult
deal
to
try
to
match
the
normal
household,
that's
at
115
or
120
125
percent
of
our
area,
average
income
for
them
to
be
able
to
afford,
and
so
that's
I
think
that's
a
place
that
we
can
work
on
meeting
that
that
that
we
have
downpayment
assistance
which
we
can
match
with
the
with
the
city.
E
I
and
I
think
we
should,
you
know,
be
establishing
specific
goals.
I
mentioned
that
at
our
meeting
last
week,
in
terms
of
you
know,
housing
units
that
the
the
CRA
can
you
know
take
take
pride
in
and
say
you
know,
our
goal
is
250
units
and
in
any
particular
CIA
or
something
like
that
and
and
especially
e-stamp.
I
You
mr.
Dingwell
aforementioned
East
temple,
which
I
know
very
very
well,
you
know
my
problem
is
that
the
city
has
a
lot
of
property
vacant
lots,
Bandon
houses
all
over
the
place
and
I,
don't
understand
why
we
don't
have
a
task
force
from
your
department.
Looking
at
what
properties
this
city
does
have
available
and
finding
not
the
big
guys
with
the
little
guys
could
start
building
up.
We've
got
a
lot
of
buildings
that
dilapidated
that
we
need
to
find
small
developers.
I
Give
some
incentives
to
to
get
some
units
in
some
of
those
old
buildings.
I,
don't
understand
how
we
were
not
moving.
Moving
like
that,
like
a
small
turtle
I
stood
over
here
and
that
really
bothers
me
from
year
to
year
to
year
to
year,
we
should
have
a
task
force
being
a
symbol
out
of
your
department,
focused
on
that
finding
every
property
within
the
real
estate
division,
working
with
them
and
also
every
building,
because
there
are
huge
buildings
in
each
temple
on
the
city,
they're
not
being
utilized
just
seeing
they
just
falling
apart.
I
So
I'm
looking
for
some
exciting
things
and
I
know
this
board
on
the
campaign
trail.
They
all
have
heard
about
housing,
so
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
an
issue
with
getting
support
from
this
council
about
housing.
So
we
need
to
form
a
task
force
from
your
department
and
and
with
that
to
really
develop
a
plan
and
I
concur.
Mr.
Dean
field
we've
got
to
have
a
plan
to
us.
We
to
me.
We
don't
have
one
right
now.
A
M
Okay,
councilmembers,
first
of
all,
congratulations
and
thank
you
for
allowing
present
to
you
today.
This
president,
we've
been
coming
to
this
to
this
board
for
quite
a
long
time
making
presentations
and,
and
unfortunately,
some
of
the
new
members
may
or
may
not
be
familiar
with
all
the
things
I'm
going
to
present.
But
if
there
are
some
things
that
I
don't
cover
or
things
that
you
do
want
us
to
come
back
and
present
provide
some
more
background.
This
is
a
culmination
of
a
tremendous
amount
of
work.
M
That's
been
going
on,
I
would
say
over
the
last
three
years,
but
that's
that
doesn't
tell
the
whole
story.
This
has
been
going
on
since
1991
this
process.
So
if
there's
information
that
I'm
not
presenting
today
or
that
you
would
like
more
information
on,
we
would
be
happy
to
to
provide
that
to
you.
So
first,
let
me
address
the
22nd
22nd
21st
Street
project.
M
Mr.
Melek
was
correct
when
he
said
that
when
we
did
construct
the
extension
on
the
cross,
the
Selman
connector
at
that
time,
the
agreement
with
the
city
of
Tampa
was
we
would
turn
over
22nd
and
21st
those
those
were
Department
roads
at
the
time.
We
did
turn
them
over,
because
the
city
wanted
to
restrict
truck
traffic
along
those
those
corridors.
M
M
What
are
we
doing
to
improve
transportation
in
the
region?
And
what
we
wanted
to
do
is
get
away
from
a
a
road,
centric
philosophy
and
and
very
engaged
the
public
on
what
it
is
it
that
they,
what
is
it
that
they
truly
wanted
to
see
and
if
we
were
going
to
make
an
investment
in
transportation,
the
Tampa
Bay
region?
What
was
that
investment
going
to
look
like,
so
we
embarked
on
this
Tampa
Bay
next
idea
to
create
a
better
dialogue.
M
We
were
to
illustrate
some
of
the
cop
I
got
a
slide
here
that
goes
over
that,
but
we
were
in.
We
went
from
Pasco
County
Pinellas
South
Hillsborough.
We
were.
We
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
urban
core
areas,
hearing
from
folks
as
to
what
it
is
that
that
they
wanted
to
see
in
the
transportation
conversations,
but
it's
part
of
Tampa
Bay.
M
Next
to
the
other
projects,
we've
been
working
to
reduce-
and
these
are
the
for
the
problems
we're
trying
to
solve
we're
trying
to
resolve,
resolve
traffic
congestion,
we're
trying
to
improve
safety,
we're
trying
to
improve
the
operations
of
the
system,
and
then
the
big
key
part
of
this
is
also
providing
more
choice.
Because
that's
what
we
heard
loud
and
clear!
So
how
did
we
do
this?
M
A
tremendous
amount
of
public
involvement
since
2017
the
CRA
alone,
we've
made
over
26
presentations
to
either
this
to
the
City
Council,
or
do
the
individual
CRA
s
themselves,
we've
been
out
in
the
community
having
conversations
and
hearing
from
from
folks?
What
is
it
that
they
wanted
to
see
and-
and
this
map
illustrates
again
back
to
just
just
as
a
reminder
what
Kappa
Bay
next
is
about.
M
If
you
can
see
on
the
on
the
map,
the
the
red
orange
sections,
they're
marked
four
and
five
and
then
six
and
seven
that
was
part
of
the
original
TV
acts
conversation
after
that
working
with
federal
highway.
We
kind
of
broke
this
project
with
that
was
that
that
project
was
kind
of
broken
out
into
where
we
were
originally
doing
a
reinforced
ins
into
a
new
study
on
the
segments
on
the
segment
seven
portion.
What
we,
what
we
went
back
with
working
with
federal
highway,
was
that
we
would
re-evaluate
the
original
Tampa
interstate
study.
M
So
the
91
study
was
the
premise
behind
the
tvx
conversation,
the
TV
necks
out
of
that
generated
a
supplemental
environmental
impact
statement,
which
is
the
the
highest
level
environmental
review.
You
can
do
on
a
project
and
what
that
did
was
allowed
us
to
go
back
and
reevaluate
everything,
basically
you're,
starting
over
you're,
taking
the
the
foundation
of
the
original
plan
and
you're
you're
you're,
reassessing
and
really
looking
at
every
decision.
That
was
made
back
in
91
as
to
how
it
relates
today.
But
we
don't.
M
We
don't
want
to
forget
that
we're
a
region-
and
we
do
have
other
other
parts
of
the
interstate
that
are
involved.
We
we
had
the
segment
eight
section,
which
was
on
I-4,
going
out
to
Pasco
County.
We
had
the
hard
Franklin
Bridge
that
was
underway,
the
Gateway
project,
which
is
in
Pinellas
County,
connecting
the
Bayside
bridge
to
the
airport,
to
us,
19
and
I-275
segment,
two
which,
which
stretches
down
into
Pinellas
County,
downtown
st.
M
Pete
area
and
then
section
nine
and
10,
which
is
I-75
roughly
going
from
Bruce
B
downs,
all
the
way
down
to
moccasin
Walla,
which
the
south
of
Hillsborough
County.
So
these
were
the
these.
This
was
the
the
conversation
about
TB,
necks
and
I
could
also
illustrate
all
the
arterioles
and
connectors
that
went
in
between,
because
all
that
was
in
the
conversation
we
made
the
decision
to
eliminate
Express
lanes
off
7:00
at
7:00
that
piece
from
downtown
two
beers
Avenue.
M
M
So
let's
start
with
the
Howard
Franklin
Bridge
we're
currently
an
active
procurement
for
a
design-build
project
and
we
plan
to
award
that
project
sometime
in
late
2019
construction
to
begin
in
2020.
We
anticipate
the
construction
to
complete
somewhere
around
2024.
Work
will
include
the
construction
of
a
new
southbound
bridge.
M
Completing
will
complete
rehab
completing
we
say
this
again
will
construct
a
new
southbound
bridge
and
then
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
shift
traffic,
so
the
southbound
bridge
will
become
the
northbound
bridge
and
then
once
the
traffic
is
shifted
on
to
the
new
bridge,
we'll
deconstruct
the
old
bridge,
the
reconstruction.
The
final
design
will
provide
for
general
purpose
lanes
and
two
Express
lanes
in
each
direction
and
will
include
a
bike
in
pedestrian
connectivity
across
that
bridge
and
where
that
will
connect
on
the
hillsborough
side.
M
M
I
M
They'll
be
bifurcated
by
a
wall,
they
won't
yeah.
It
won't
be
like
a
strike.
It'll
be
bifurcated,
there'll,
be
a
wall
there,
we're
looking
at
constructing
some
like
a
barrier
fence
as
well
to
keep
obstructions
from
flying
into
the
area,
so
they'll
be
they'll,
be
removed
from
the
from
the
from
the
main
line
traffic
along
that
corridor.
Thank
you,
sir.
M
We
have
do
not
have
a
date
determined
for
construction
start.
Currently,
we're
proceeding
on
track
two
to
be
prepared
by
2023
to
receive
funding
to
start
construction,
but
we're
in
we're
just
hoping
that
that
that
will
happen
so
reconstruct
a
new
interchange
obviously
will
alleviate
the
bottlenecks,
one
of
the
restrictions
of
the
Hart
Franklin
bridge.
Well,
the
main
restriction
is
coming
off
that
bridge
going
into
to
receiving
lanes.
Well,
this
will
free
up
that
bottleneck
and
allow
that
traffic
to
flee
free
flow
through
that
through
the
interchange,
so
it
so.
M
It
adds
three
general
purpose
lanes
and
two
Express
lanes
in
each
direction.
It
will
provide
a
direct
express
lane
connectivity
into
the
Tampa
Bay
International
Airport.
There
will
be
a
dedicated
ramp
from
Kennedy
Boulevard
to
the
Tampa
International
Airport,
and
it
connects
to
the
veterans
expressway
via
State
Road
60
Express
lanes
provides
for
new
connections
under
I-275,
a
trio
Occident
and
Trask,
so
we'll
probably
will
reconnect
those
streets
and
then
real
connects
to
southbound
I-275
just
to
gillis
trait
what
rio
is
going
to
look
like
a
little
bit.
So
this
is.
J
See
you'll
have
to
go
back.
Could
you
go
back
to
slice?
Please?
What
one
more
sorry,
sorry,
one
more
and
one
more
this
one!
Okay!
This
is
my
layman's
view
of
it.
I
go
back
and
forth
to
st.
Pete
a
lot
and
that
you
know
the
people
in
st.
Pete
are
frustrated
because
they
can't
get
into
Tampa
and
it
didn't
hip
its
commerce.
But
one
of
the
things
that
I
observed
is
that
you
see
this
kink
when
you're
cut.
So
when
you
first
come
across
the
West
Shore
exchange,
then
there's
a
kink
there.
J
M
So
you
know,
one
of
the
challenges
with
with
with
this
system
is
a
lot
of
the
what
we
were
referring
to
the
v12,
it's
kind
of
like
weaving
movements
right
there's,
a
lot
of
interchanges,
there's
there's
a
there,
it's
60
at
lowest
at
del
Mabry,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
movement.
That's
occurring
a
lot
of
turbulence,
that's
happening,
so
we
are
looking
at
removing
that
turbulence,
getting
that
getting
the
traffic
that
wants
to
get
off
getting
it
separated
from
the
mainline
traffic,
and
that
will
help
free
flow
of
that
traffic
through
that
interchange.
M
M
So
I
was
here,
okay,
so,
as
I
said,
a
and
B
reconstruct
the
interchange
and
provide
Express
Lane
connectivity.
So
again,
as
part
of
the
conversation
we
were
looking
at,
how
do
we
reduce
the
footprint
of
the
interchange?
How
do
we
minimize
impacts
to
communities
and
the
runaway
impacts,
and
that's
what
C
and
D
was
intended
to
do?
It
was
looking
at
how
do
we?
M
How
can
we
improve
the
functionality
of
the
interchange
but
and
but
also
provide
some
congestion
relief
in
the
forms
of
express
lane
connectivity,
so
C
and
D
was
an
attempt
to
do
that.
C
basically
takes
Express
lanes
and
runs
in
south
of
the
interchange
and
option.
D
takes
Express
lanes
and
runs
in
north
of
the
energy
and
we're
evaluating
both
of
them
all
four
of
those
options.
M
As
part
of
our
study
again,
there's
a
lot
of
detail
that
background
that
we've
been
providing
to
this
committee
and
if
there's
information
specific
that
you
would
like
us
to
come
back
and
talk
to,
we
definitely
can
or
we
can
meet
one-on-one
as
well.
So,
let's
talk
about
I-275
because
that's
a
study
that
we've
just
we've
done
a
public
hearing
on
here
recently
I
275
from
roughly
north
of
beers,
all
the
way
down
to
just
north
of
MLK
segment.
Seven.
M
This
segment
was
originally
looked
at
in
that
under
the
tbx
conversation
as
one
of
our
express
lane
corridors,
we
were
looking
at
providing
one
lane
in
each
express
lane
in
each
direction
and
then
we've
since
gone
back
and
eliminate
eliminated
the
need
for
the
Express
lanes,
but
we're
still
looking
at
adding
additional
capacity
through
there.
So
there's
actually
two
projects
associated
with
this.
As
you
see
on
here
and
I'll,
explain
those
to
you
you'll
see
on
the
left
side
of
the
screen,
the
transition
limit
project
and
then
the
section
7
project.
M
So
the
transition
project
will
complete
operational
improvements
to
provide
a
transition
to
existing
conditions
on
the
corridor.
Improvements
include
providing
on
silvery
lanes,
northbound
at
floor
abrasca
Avenue
to
Martin
Luther,
King,
jr.,
Boulevard
and
southbound
for
Martin
Luther,
King,
jr.
Boulevard
to
the
flyover
ramp
at
I-4
know.
Right
away
is
going
to
be
required
in
sound
vault.
M
Sound
walls
will
be
installed
where
feasible,
section
7,
which
is
the
project
to
the
to
the
right,
will
provide
additional
capacity
along
the
corridor
to
provide
for
general
purpose
lanes
in
each
direction
and
a
15
foot
wide
inside
median
that
will
that
can
accommodate
transit
in
the
future.
All
the
proposed
improvements
for
the
main
line,
I
275,
will
take
place
with,
and
they
say
existing
right
away
and
at
the
bierce
interchange
there
will
be
a
need
for
some
some
right
away
for
pons,
but
it'll
be
minimal.
M
So
let
me
kind
of
show
you
what
the
transition
piece
of
that
looks
like
a
little
bit,
because
that's
them
in
this.
This
may
or
may
confuse
you
even
more.
So
this
is
the
piece
roughly
from
north
of
dr.
Martin
Luther
King
Boulevard
into
the
interchange,
so
we're
looking
at
providing
some
additional
capacities
you
see
on
the
inside,
so
you'll
actually
have
an
additional
lane.
What
we
need
to
do
is
try
to
separate
out
the
traffic.
That's
heading
southbound
up
to
eastbound
I-40
at
providing
an
additional
lane
on
the
off-ramp.
M
Now
it's
a
single
lane
and
you
know
if
you
notice
well,
if
you've
driven
that
area.
You
know
the
traffic
stacks
up
on
275
and
a
lot
of
it
is
either
people
trying
to
get
on
that
ramp
or
people
trying
to
jump
the
queue
and
try
to
jump
ahead
of
those
people
that
have
been
waiting
to
get
on
that
ramp.
So
what
we
want
to
try
to
do
is
remove
that.
Remove
that
that
that
queueing,
as
well
as
provide
some
additional
storage
for
people
that
are
getting
on
to
the
to
the
eastbound
southbound
eastbound
ramp.
M
This
illustrates
kind
of
a
one
ramp,
a
one
lane
on
the
e
on
the
the
rap
flyover,
then
merging
back
into
the
the
single
lane.
But
what
we're
looking
at
now
is
providing
actually
two
and
two
through
lanes
on
that
ramp.
That
will
connect
on
the
either
connect
on
two
fourteen
15
below
or
and
merging
on,
and
also
merging
onto
I-4
we're.
M
Looking
of
doing,
we
think
we
can
do
that
within
existing
right
away
and
we're
evaluating
the
engineering
of
that
right
now
that
little
piece
that
bulb
out
that
you
see
heading
into
downtown
Tampa,
it
really
doesn't
do
it
justice
very
well,
because
that's
actually
a
long,
extended
piece
that
allows
people
that
it
provides
connectivity
that
are
people
that
are
heading
into
downtown.
That.
M
Okay,
Dork
Alton,
yeah,
yes
and
then
they'll
merge
they'll,
merge
into
the
two
lanes
that
are
there
in
there
now
and
then
I
think
it
widens
back
up
once
you
once
you
once
you
get
past
the
turn
and
then
we'll
also
provide
some
additional
right
now.
If
you
come
off
floor,
abrasca
you've
got
a
merge
into
the
traffic.
Well,
a
lot
of
that
floor,
abrasca
traffic,
believe
it
or
not
goes
from
one
exit
to
the
other
exit.
M
What
this
does
is
it
provides
we're
going
to
provide
a
continuous
auxiliary
lane
so
that
once
you're
in
that
lane,
you
have
to
leave
it
if
you're
going
to
down
memory
and
it'll
also
provides
some
additional
opportunity
for
people
that
want
to
weave
into
that
lane
to
go
to
dr.
Martin
Luther
King
Boulevard.
They
could
then
transition
in
that
lane
a
lot
sooner
so.
M
Laura
Pratt,
though
closure
with
floor
abrasca
is
more
tied
to
the
downtown
interchange
reconstruction.
So
we
won't
be
looking
at
any
floor.
Abrasca
closure
until
after
and
the
secretary
is
going
to
come
up
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
department
priorities
and
how
the
downtown
interchange
plays
into
this
conversation,
but
but
yeah
councilman.
We
will
not
be
closing
for
abrasca
until
after
after
the
downtown
interchange
decision
is
made
and
we've
got
a
plan
for
reconstructing
downtown
management.
Well,.
I
Just
make
sure
that
you
you,
the
community
is
engaged
in
it,
because
you
know
someone
are
very,
very
upset
about
that
economic
impact
to
that
community
and
I
harp
on
us
all
time
when,
when
that
that
bridge
on
40th
Street
was
built,
it
cut
off
the
lifeline
to
40th
Street.
So
I
want
us
to
be
mindful
that
we
don't
want
to
cut
off
another
engine
like
we
did
before
absolutely.
M
M
That
will
be
further
study
than
a
design
phase,
but
we
have
committed-
and
we've
we've
said
publicly-
that
we
are
committed
to
constructing
sound
walls
as
soon
as
possible,
and
then
we
will
coordinate
with
the
affected
property
owners
in
the
community
to
determine
what
type
of
treatments,
how
they're
look,
what
a
static
split
collar
and
as
the
project
moves
into
the
design
phase
landscape
opportunity.
This
question
comes
up
quite
a
bit.
The
department
is
committed
to
providing
on
a
landscaping.
M
We
will
work
hand-in-hand
with
the
community
to
determine
not
just
where
to
put
the
landscaping,
but
what
type
of
landscaping
and
and
so
that
that
will
definitely
be
part
of
the
conversation
as
we
move
forward
so
transitioning
out
of
the
SC
is
into
other
TV.
Next
conversations
just
want
to
remind
the
council
that
you
know:
DLT
has
been
a
committed
partner
into
transit.
We've
recognized
that
that
a
road
solution
is
not
going
to
you
know
it's
not
going
to
work,
build
our
way
out
of
congestion.
M
We've
got
to
find
alternative
ways
of
getting
people
around
whether
it's
transit,
whether
it's
traffic
demand
management,
whatever
it
is
integrated
technology
into
our
system.
You
know
we're
committed
to
looking
at
all
all
opportunities
to
improve
how
people
get
around
in
our
region,
and-
and
this
is
just
to
illustrate
not
just
the
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
region,
but
the
things
that
Department
is
is
a
partner
in
with
either
the
city
the
county
to
advance
Trant
the
transit
conversation.
M
You
know
the
again
illustrating
you
know
how
important
some
of
these
connectivities
are:
we're
a
funding
partner
with
the
extension
of
the
streetcar
study.
We
want
to
see
that
happen
and
we
were
committed
to
working
with
the
city
to
make
that
happen.
We're
also
working
up
in
the
university
area
to
look
at
a
route
study
along
there.
We're
partnering
with
the
innovation
place
folks,
as
well
as
the
city
and
the
county,
because
it
is
a
university
area
kind
of
has
crosses
both
boundaries.
How
do
we
improve
connectivity
and
those
areas?
M
And
then
again,
how
do
we
connect
connect?
Those
two
major
areas,
whether
it's
a
long
Florida
Avenue
Nebraska,
whether
we
use
the
Tampa
Bay
Regional
Plan,
the
T
Barda
study
along
275
that
corridor
wherever
that
transit
that
transit
connectivity?
That
makes
sense
that
the
city,
the
county,
the
whoever's
going
to
run
the
transit
operations?
Whatever
decisions
made,
we
stand
ready
to
be
a
strong
partner
in
making
that
happen.
M
We're
also
committed
to
workforce
development.
This
is
something
that
the
department
has
undertaken,
and
this
is
something
we're
very
proud
of,
and
so
we
like
to
talk
about
it
and
just
to
illustrate
just
how
committed
we
are.
We
piloted
a
program
in
the
Gateway
project
area.
We
partnered
with
st.
Pete
works,
the
Pinellas
ex-offenders
Rehabilitation,
Coalition,
perk,
we've
partnered
with
st.
Pete,
Housing,
Authority
career
source
and
the
CDC
of
Tampa
to
bring
folks
that
otherwise
have
don't
have
job
opportunities
and
I
know
I'm,
not
saying
anything.
M
You
don't
know,
but
in
there
are
pockets
of
our
community,
particularly
he's
Tampa
West
half
of
the
university
area
that
don't
share
the
3.2
percent
or
4
percent
unemployment
that
the
rest
of
us
share
it's
more
like
40
percent,
so
we're
working
with
those
communities
to
provide
job
opportunities,
we're
working
with
federal
highway,
we're
working
with
with
agencies
that
provide
these
services
to
try
to
find
ways
to
bring
people
into
the
workforce,
we're
actually
in
in
the
gateway
area.
We've
we've
brought
over
20
folks
into
the
program
they're
currently
working
on
the
Gateway
project.
M
We
trained
them.
We've
we've
provided
them
work
boots
equipment,
transportation
where
needed,
and
it's
really
working
out
because
all
but
one
of
those
folks
that
entered
the
program,
all
of
them
are
still
in
the
program
and
working
on
the
project.
So
I
was
a
lot
of
information,
I'll
be
happy
to
take
questions
and
then
I'll
I'd,
like
secretary
Gwynn,
to
cut
off
just
a
few
words
bounce.
B
Me
beer
and
thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation.
You
know.
I
I
really
appreciate
your
final
part
there
on
the
economic
impact
that
these
kind
of
projects
have.
You
know,
though,
it's
not
created
as
such
a
lot
of
these
or
WPA
Works
Progress
Administration
type
efforts,
in
effect
that
really
put
communities
back
to
work
with
starting
wages
that
are
double
our
minimum
wage
from
the
state
level,
more
than
double,
and
that's
actually,
no,
it's
less
than
double
my
math
resolve,
but
roughly
double
and
that's
a
very
good
thing.
B
You
know
you'd
very
briefly
mentioned
I-75
in
potential
Express
lanes
there,
as
we've
discussed
before
I,
would
continue
to
ask
that
you
keep
me
updated
on
those
I
knows
it
I
put
together
a
community
meeting
with
new
tampon
that
maybe
six
seven
months
ago,
but
we'll
just
every
every
to
coat
the
police
every
breath
you
take
on
that
issue.
Please
let
me
know
because
that's
an
important
issue
to
the
community.
B
Obviously,
you
know
yesterday
at
the
MPO
council
Maniscalco
and
I
we
voted
on
having
a
study
done
of
the
boulevard
makeover
on
275,
something
that
could
really
really
be
a
game
changer
potentially,
and
it's
something
that
I
was
pleased
with,
because
it's
a
it's
an
idea
that
has
captured
the
imagination
of
a
lot
people
here
in
the
community
and
it's
it's
a
big
idea.
It
really
really
is
it's
a
big
idea,
like
arguably
tvx,
was
a
big
idea
that
this
is
really
potentially
a
game-changer
and
we,
as
a
community
should
not
be
scared
to.
B
You
know,
engage
in
a
discussion
of
big
ideas,
no
matter
how
intimidating
or
large
they
may
be.
This
is
something
that
I
think
would
cost
between
three
to
nine
billion
dollars
and
potentially
have
some
offset
in
revenue
enhancements
with
I
think
it
is
35
acres
of
land
made
available
for
additional
revenue
to
local
communities,
but
it's
I
think
it's
good
that
we're
doing
a
study
on
that.
So
we
can
see
exactly
where
that
could
take
us
as
a
community
I.
Think
many
of
us
are
maybe
agnostic
on
it
and
we're
gonna.
B
B
Mass
transit
system
here
in
our
in
our
community
and
I,
was
really
pleased
to
see
Hart,
taking
a
look
at
a
study
for
I,
believe
it
as
BRT
that's
going
to
be
connecting
USF
with
downtown
campus,
something
that
is
a
real
step
forward
for
this
community,
something
that
will
do
what
mass
transit
is
supposed
to
do
to
have
a
concurrent
investment
in
the
area
and
I.
Think
that
when
you
look
at
the
routes
that
that
would
take
and
the
effects
that
that
would
have
on
communities,
including
a
USF,
that's
a
real
step
forward.
B
So
you
know
for
all
of
us
who
were
just
elected
or
re-elected
to
this
body,
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
very,
very
exciting,
exciting
time
for
transportation,
we're
looking
at
having
a
transit
connector.
Finally,
between
Tampa
and
Orlando
we're
looking
at
up
to
300
million
dollars,
an
aft
funding,
potentially
for
our
for
our
area,
BRT
many
different
discussions
that
we're
looking
at
so
I
think.
B
E
F
E
Just
frankly,
when
I
sat
on
the
NPO,
previously
I've
never
been
a
big
fan
of
Express
Lanes
or
you
know
the
paid
lexus
lanes
that
people
call
them
and
that
sort
of
thing
can
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
expand
that
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
what
the
department's
thought
process
is
on
that?
What
the
what
the
you
know,
the
benefit
is
what
the
community's
reaction
has
been
to
that,
etc.
Okay,.
M
Basically,
you
would
get
on
that
system
somewhere
and
the
Brandon
area,
and
you
would
take
it
all
the
way
to
West
Shore
I
think
there
was
an
opportunity
at
the
connector
that
you
would
get
off
to
go
to
downtown,
but
it
was
it
was
non
told,
but
it
was
a
long
distance,
so
what's
evolved
over
the
the
years
as
a
conversation
about
connectivity,
people
in
East
Anna,
but
we're
saying
well
what
about
us?
We're
not
you
know
it
doesn't
that
doesn't
benefit
us.
The
city
of
Tampa
was
wanting
more.
M
They
wanted
to
spread
it
out
a
little
bit.
They
didn't
want
all
the
traffic
coming
in
off.
So
we
looked
at
opportunities
to
spread
the
express
lane
connect.
So
we
so,
as
we
started
to
add
more
connections
along
that
it
really
started
to
tell
us
illustrate
to
us
that
this
was
no
longer
an
express
lane.
We
were
building
another
capacity
lane
and
at
the
time
there
was
a
the
department
had
a
had,
a
policy
that
all
new
Express
lanes
on
the
on
the
interstate
would
be
evaluated
for
four
toll
lanes
or
toll
connectivity.
M
So
we
did
in
nineteen
or
2015.
We
completed
a
an
express
lane
study
for
the
Tampa
Bay
region,
which
which
showed
us
that,
in
order
to
provide
that
that
congestion
free
capacity
that
you
would
be
adding
to
the
energy
you
had
to
toll
it.
So
that's
where
this
conversation
about
tbx
started
to
really
heat
up.
So
that's
when
we
introduced
the
toll
lanes,
we
started
having
the
conversation
again
about
the
connectivity
of
the
downtown,
so
it
was
primarily
looking
at
east-west
connectivity,
but
then
we
all
started.
Look
we
also
start
looking
at.
M
You
know
in
the
plan
the
whole
time,
if
you,
if
you
could
vision
the
275
piece
from
downtown
to
the
University
area,
that
inside
shoulder
that's
always
been
there.
It
was
always
slated
for
some
future
transportation
use,
and
so
the
idea
was
we
would
put
Express
lanes
through
that
in
2015.
As
part
of
that
study
that
we
would
put
Express
lanes
on
that
corridor
and
managed
Express
lanes
so
they'd
be
variable
tolled,
so
that
conversation
started
to
heat
up.
M
So
this
was
a
conversation
around
2015-2016
that
we
were
bringing
out
to
the
public,
but
then
also
also
adding
to
that
the
reconstruction
of
the
interchange
in
the
downtown
area,
so
I
would
be
kind
to
say.
The
reception
was
less
than
warm.
It
was,
you
know.
Obviously,
people
were
concerned.
You
know
I,
think
the
bigger
concern
was
about
the
impacts
to
the
community,
but
but
also
what
does
this
mean?
For
you
know.
Are
these
truly,
you
know
for
the
rich?
M
Are
they
truly
gonna
be
lanes
that
only
certain
people
can
use
and,
and
what
is
what
is
a
variable
told?
Lane
really
means
so
those
conversations
were
really
starting
to
heat
up
and
before
we
even
got
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
get
out
there
and
and
try
to
talk
about
this
stuff
or,
as
we
were,
the
department
decided
to
take
a
step
back,
and
this
was
at
the
same
time
the
hired
Franklin
Bridge.
M
If
you
recall
that
conversation
we're
where
we
were
taking
one
of
the
auxiliary
lanes,
that
was
out
on
the
hearth
rankling
bridge,
and
we
were
going
to
convert
that
to
an
express
lane.
Well
that
also
created
a
lot
of
concern
in
the
community
because
they
felt
like
we
were
misleading
them,
that
we
were
taking
away
a
lane
that
they
considered
free
and
converting
it,
which
we
said
we
wouldn't
do
in
converting
it
to
express
lane.
M
So
the
secretary
at
the
time
secretary,
Bach's,
hold
said:
let's
slow
down,
let's
stop,
let's
reevaluate
what
it
is
we
want
to
do
and-
and
that
was
the
whole
reset
conversation
that
generated
so
so
we
started
talking.
I
mean
we
and
we
started
going
around
to
the
community
and
and
getting
engaged
with
folks
and
that's
what
generated
the
the
TV
next
conversation
and
I
would
say
that
you
know
adding
art
from
from
the
perspective
of
the
department
and
how
we
look
at
how
we
look
at
adding
capacity
up
capacity.
I
mean,
as
I
said
before.
M
We
can't
build
our
way
out
of
this
there's
you
know,
there's
just
there's
more
traffic
than
we
could
you.
We
could
ever
hope
to
design,
for
we
would
be
building
20
lane
interstates
if
we
thought
that
was
the
solution,
but
you've
got
to
provide
some
congestion
relief.
You
got
to
provide
some
capacity
that,
in
capacity
it's
got
to
be
managed
in
a
way
that
in
perpetuity
or
at
least
for
a
period
of
time,
you
can
manage
that
congestion.
M
You
can
provide
some
up
some
some
form
of
transportation
where
people
can
get
to
A,
to
B
and
and
within
a
within
a
predictable
time.
So
that's
the
idea
behind
managed
lanes.
I
mean
this
is
not
a.
This
is
not
a
Tampa
Department
transportation
thing.
This
was
so.
This
is
where
we
are
today
councilman
and
with
the
conversation.
This
is
part
of
the
study
that
we're
looking
at
and-
and
this
has
been-
you
know
it's
it's
it's
evolving.
It's
still
ongoing
we're
still
evaluating
non
tolls.
That's
still
a
part
of
the
the
evaluation.
M
E
E
E
Previously,
yes,
we
charge
up
this
and
or
out
the
Selman,
and
you
know
up
through
the
veterans
and
that
sort
of
thing,
but
those
were
built
in
that
fashion,
but
I
think
our
community
is
always
expected
to
be
able
to
get
on
the
interstate
for
free
without
without
fee
I'd
like
to
see
it
continue
that
way.
Better
Thank.

L
J
Of
meetings
of
the
neighborhoods
and
their
concern
is
ripping
through
historic
buildings,
historic
neighborhoods
and
I
know
that's
a
long
discussion
and
we've
had
a
little
bit
before,
but
would
love
to
know.
You
know
what
the
feedback
is
from
the
neighborhoods
and
which
ones
have
the
least
impact,
also
the
in
response
to
grassroots,
at
least
from
my
perception
of
the
response
to
grassroots
you
all
were
generous
of
years
ago
in
and
contributing
some
money
to
what
became
the
name
change
several
times,
but
the
premium
transit
study
well.
M
J
You
know
at
least
the
new
folks
here,
who
elected,
are
great
examples
of
how
the
grassroots
now
runs.
Everything
not
some
of
the
traditional
organizations,
and
although
many
of
us
are
part
of
those
organizations,
the
grassroots
really
drive
everything
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
in
touch
with
the
grassroots
and
and
the
only
way
really
a
new
public
organization
can
do.
That
is
through
public
engagement
along
those
lines.
There's
a
big
cry
for
some
kind
of
rail
and
and
there's
also
cries
on
the
other
side
for
not
for
rail.
J
M
We've
said
all
along
and
as
a
little
stratum
we
will
be
a
partner,
but
there
has
to
be
a
the
first
thing
that
the
the
first
challenge
in
that
is
CSX
first
CSX
to
be
serious
about
a
conversation.
They
have
to
know
that
there's
real
money
involved
in
this
right.
It
can't
just
be
a
conversation
about
we
might
get
some
money
or
we
might
use
the
tax
for
this.
The
way
they
have
to
know
that
that
there's
that
somebody
is
serious
for
them
to
seriously
engage
in
that
conversation.
M
If,
if
and
we've
also
talked
to
Milla
straighted
and
we've
presented
this-
and
we
can
come
back
to
this
to
this
board
and
present
it
again
is
for
us
to
for
for
us
to
be
we're
going
to
be
the
biggest
funding
partner
outside
of
the
federal
government.
You
know,
VOT
is
committed,
and
we've
said
that
you
know
you
know.
We've
committed.
M
25
percent
of
the
funding
federal
government
normally
contributes
about
50
percent
of
the
funding,
but
then
there's
the
25
percent
that
has
to
come
from
someone
else
right
in
the
city,
the
county,
another
agency
and
then
there's
the
operation
and
maintenance
that
it
would
have
to
go
along
with
that.
So
there
has
to
be
a
strong
funding
partner
on
the
on
that
25
percent,
plus
all
the
the
other
costs,
but
we
will
be
there
as
we
are
with
the
right
now.
A
good
sample
is
the
Central
Avenue
BRT,
that's
going
on
in
Pinellas
County.
M
We
we
are
we're
we're
lock
stock
with
with
PSTA
to
make
that
happen
and
we're
just
like
with
the
t-bar
to
study
we're
a
lock.
Stop
that
you
know
with
them.
To
make
that
happen,
we've
got
to
find
other
solutions.
Councilman
I,
don't
think,
as
I
can
tell
astray.
At
that
point
enough,
we've
got
to
find
other
ways
to
get
people
moving
around
this
area
and.
J
M
Question
for
me
personally,
I
think
they're,
pretty
serious
I
mean
there
I
think
Richard
Branson
has
made
it
very
clear
that
he
wants
to
come
to
Tampa.
Maybe
when
the
secretary
comes
up
I'll,
let
him
give
the
department's
position,
not
I.
Think
it's
a
great
thing.
We
are
trying
to
work
with
them.
We
are.
M
G
You
very
much,
as
I
said
before,
I've
always
been
fascinated
with
the
interstate
and
the
history
of
the
interstate,
the
Eisenhower
interstate
system,
and
how
it
came
to
play
after
it
to
fruition
after
World
War
2
in
the
1950s
and
whatnot
and
studying
it.
I
know
that
when
it
first
was
laid
out,
you
know
it
was
on
the
front
page
of
the
Tampa
Tribune.
For
example.
I
pulled
up
the
that
issue,
and
this
is
you
know
this
is
what
our
plans
are.
G
We're
gonna
come
through
the
neighborhoods
and
it's
going
to
go
through
a
bore,
City
and
West
Ham,
Po
and
whatnot,
and
it's
grown
since
then,
but
the
boulevard
study
is
is
fascinating.
Councilman
Vieira
mentioned
yesterday
at
the
Amita,
but
yesterday
at
the
MPL
meeting,
moving
forward
to
look
at
that.
So
you
know
historically,
over
the
last
60
years,
neighborhoods
have
been
divided.
G
You
had
urban
renewal,
Ybor
City
was
split
in
two
african-american
communities
were
completely
demolished,
I
mean
look
at
Central,
Avenue,
nothing
exists
there,
but
it's
coming
back
full
circle,
because
should
this
Boulevard
project
ever
come
to
fruition?
I
know
the
discussion.
You
know
the
thought
process
is
beginning
now.
It'll
help
reconnect
neighborhoods
neighborhoods
that
have
this
highway
going
through.
All
this
concrete
can
now
be
reconnected.
G
You
have
properties
that
are
not
on
the
tax
rolls
now
that
will
then
in
the
future,
be
on
the
tax
rolls
and
I'm
and
I'm
glad
that
that's
happening,
because
it
gives
some
hope,
especially
to
communities
that
have
been
essentially
decimated
because
the
highway
system-
and
you
know,
although
it's
taken
60
years
now,
we're
having
that
discussion
that
possibly
we
can
reconnect
and
reinvigorate
that
I've,
never
liked.
You
know
on
that
and
then
I've
never
liked.
G
You
know
the
express
toll
lanes,
I've,
consistently
voted
against
the
tvx
and
any
kind
of
express
lanes,
because
on
my
district
is
laid
out,
the
interstate
goes
right
through
and
and
my
job
is
to
stand
up
for
and
protect
the
communities
that
I
represent
and
the
people
and
I
know
you've
had
the
public
discussions
and
you're
you've
been
wonderful,
you
and
the
secretary
and
mr.
Roscoe
and
mr.
Benson
very
responsive
I,
hear
that
from
people
all
the
time.
We
need
something
you
answer:
the
public
needs
something
I
see,
you
know
responses,
but
moving
forward.
G
G
I
know:
we've
looked
at
expanding
the
streetcar
system,
we're
talking
about
CSX,
we're
talking
about
bright
line,
because
people
want
different
options
and
not
everybody
can
afford
a
car
because
it's
the
vehicle,
the
payments,
the
maintenance,
the
insurance,
the
gasoline,
everything
but
I
think
we're
moving
in
a
in
a
positive
direction.
I
know
you
come
here.
Every
quarter
to
update
us
and
you
do
come
to
the
MPO
and
and
I
want
to
ask
you:
do
you
feel
it
necessary
to
come
every
months?
G
M
I
think
we're
gonna
have
a
workshop
and
I
hope.
Many
of
you
could
attend
the
workshop
in
here.
For
yourself,
you
know
what
what
people
are
saying.
I
think
would
be
all
right.
It
might
be
valuable.
It
may
be
after
the
summer.
We
come
back
and
present
some
of
the
results
and
findings,
but
then,
after
that,
it's
going
to
be
a
period
of
time
before
we're
submitting
the
draft
document.
B
Favored
that
continued
quarterly-
you
know,
transportation
I,
think,
is
the
pressing
issue
for
all
of
us
here
in
all
of
our
districts
and
in
this
city.
You
know
we
talk
about
the
issue
of
public
engagement.
For
me,
there
was
no
greater
a
public
engagement
than
the
vote
that
happened
in
November
of
2018
with
all
for
transportation,
when
almost
three
and
five
residents
in
Hillsborough
County
who
voted
on
it
said,
raise
my
taxes,
because
that's
how
frustrated
I
am
with
the
transportation
situation.
That
was
a
mandate
I.
Think
for
for
all
of
us.
Why?
A
I
You,
mr.
chairman,
when
I
first
met
you,
it
was
a
pleasure
and
we
always
talk
about
that.
25
percent
twenty-five
percent,
but
I
get
confused
when
I
see
this
magnet
terms
of
money
for
interstate,
but
yet
we
have
all
this
railroads
I,
don't
understand
how
how
we
don't
switch
gears
to
look
at
our
railroad
track
with
all
this
money
we're
spinning
here,
but
yet
we
talk
about
this
twenty
five
percent-
it's
rather
confusing
to
me,
so
III
need
to
kind
of
get
a
focal
point
or
why
is
that?
I
Because
if
we're
saying
we
have
all
these
tracks
that
are
run
through
all
kind
of
low-income
communities
downtown
north,
then
why
are
we
not
focused
with
all
this
money
we're
talking
my
building
on
an
interstate
focus
on
a
railroad
system
that
that's
already
laid
down
or
in
negotiating
with
success?
Can
you
say
well
they
want
to
make
sure
you've
got
money.
Well,
obviously,
do
too
has
money
somewhere
because
we're
putting
a
lot
of
money
into
an
interstate,
so
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
changing
gears.
I
I
know
the
secretary
is
gonna
come
forward,
but
I
need
to
understand
a
new
director
because
to
me,
I
old
ball
coach
told
me,
which
I'm
one
to
says
it's
usually
staff
of
failure.
It
could
to
me
with.
We
continue
to
fail
because
we're
rehashing
the
same
thing.
We
have
to
have
a
new
track
and
I'm
looking
for
a
new
track.
Whatever
you've
got
to
say,
we
need
to
be
focused
on
these
rail
systems
because
we
have
them
now
versus
the
interstate.
I
Because
that's
Maniscalco
said
people
can't
afford
cars
now,
one
paycheck
away
and
everything
goes
bad
brakes
go
down.
I
gotta
get
to
work,
I
gotta
catch,
a
bus,
I
gotta
catch
a
ride.
Nobody
wants
to
give
me
a
ride.
I
gotta
pay
somebody
for
gas,
so
we
have
to
look
at
the
people
versus
the
big
dollar
of
people
who
want
to
bill
and
look
at
what
the
people
really
want.
What
they're
asking
for?
A
Mr.
Mackenna,
you
get
me
now
all
right
after
the
80
or
so
meetings
that
I've
been
at
I've
developed
a
relationship
not
only
with
with
mr.
Guin
mr.
Benson
and
all
the
other
wonderful
people
to
work
for
FDOT
FDOT,
Florida
Department
of
Transportation
our
needs
in
Tampa,
our
multi-level
state
county
city,
but
we
have
over
100,000,
plus
people
coming
into
our
downtown
downtown
core
each
and
every
day,
and
the
people
that
it's
affecting
most
are
the
citizens
of
Tampa
pollution.
A
Noise,
air
pollution,
traffic
I
think
that
if
we
get
those
people
or
start
thinking
about
those
people
are
so
parse
centric
coming
from
Polk
Pasco,
Hernando,
manatee
and
Pinellas
County,
each
and
every
day
to
come
to
work
in
Tampa.
If
we
give
them
an
option,
now,
I'm
not
sure
of
your
right
of
ways
that
you
still
have,
but
if
we
can
have
some
sort
of
rail
rapid
bus
that
has
dedicated
private
ways,
which
is
more
than
one
person
one
car.
If
we
can
start
thinking
in
that
direction,
I
would
be
much
happier
and
I'm
sure.
A
A
lot
of
the
citizens
of
Tampa
would
be
a
lot
happier.
So
hopefully
I
can
put
a
bug
in
your
ear
and
the
next
time
we
see
each
other.
You
can
give
us
some
sort
of
new
developments,
but
I'm
sure
there
are
dedicated
right
of
ways
that
you
still
own
excuse
me
not
you
FDOT
Stallone's,
along
75
to
75
Lee
Roy
Selmon
across
town.
They
can
be
used
for
some
sort
of
mass
public
transportation.
If.
M
L
M
M
So
I
have
a
concern
about
transit
about
you,
know
the
cost
and
stuff,
but
there's
a
huge
benefit.
When
you
think
about
how
transit
could
be
accommodated
within
those
variable
told
systems,
you
can
conceivably
go
from
if
you
had
a
system
as
we're
as
that
map
Illustrated,
you
can
conceivably
go
from
the
border
of
Hillsboro
County
to
downtown
st.
Pete
on
a
verbal
toll
system
and
and
and
probably
get
there
faster
than
you
would
get.
M
M
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
why
people
take
a
car,
but
if
you're
giving,
if
you
can
get
give
them
an
advantage,
if
you
can
show
them,
why
there's
a
huge
advantage
for
them
to
to
use
a
transit
system?
To
me,
that's
a
that's!
That's
that's
a
huge
part
of
this
and
I
don't
want
that
to
be
discounted,
regardless
of
what
you
feel
about
manage
lanes
or
that
system.
There
are
a
huge
benefits
to
providing
that
type
of
non
managed
system
for
transit.
Now.
M
A
M
H
H
Hopefully,
will
give
you
a
little
bit
better
view
of
where
we're
heading
in
in
the
near
term,
with
some
of
our
initiatives
first,
as
far
as
the
SE
is
think,
most
of
you
know
the
SCIF
which
we're
having
a
workshop
coming
up
was
the
culmination
of
the
we
want
to
call
the
death
of
tbx.
It
was
we've
got
to
take
a
fresh
look
at
this.
We
cannot
do
anything
at
West,
Shore,
downtown,
an
interchange
or
anywhere
in
between
without
the
resolution
of
this
s,
EIS,
which
has
to
be
approved
by
the
federal
highway
administration.
H
The
downtown
interchange
in
the
West
Shore
interchange
are
very
different
in
a
lot
of
ways.
One
probably
the
biggest
thing
right
now
is
is
there's
a
lot
of
support
to
build
the
West
Shore
interchange
to
build
the
improvements
over
on
the
west
side
of
the
river.
There's,
not
a
lot
of
support
right
now
to
do
the
improvements,
similar
type
of
improvements
in
the
downtown
interchange,
and
we
understand
that
we
also
know
that
bright
line
very
well
is
gonna,
probably
come
in
somewhere
in
the
downtown
interchange
area.
H
Well,
we
don't
know
really
what
it
might.
The
right
solution
might
be
right
now
and
we
don't
really
need
to
make
the
decision
right
now.
Unfortunately,
when
you
deal
with
sometimes
federal
agencies,
they
have
a
lot
of
policies.
They
have
a
lot
of
regulations
and
it's
very
tough,
sometimes
to
what
I
consider
to
be
a
common-sense
decision
to
get
to
be
made
at
that
level,
and
so
so
far
they've
been
holding
us
to
make
the
decision
on
both
interchanges.
At
the
same
time,
what
I
can
commit
to
you?
H
That
is,
if
we're
not
able
to
get
federal
highway
administration,
to
allow
us
to
separate
the
two.
We
have
no
intention
right
now
to
do
a
major
interchange
improvement
at
the
Downtown
interchange.
We've
heard
the
public
we've
heard
the
concerns
we
understand.
What's
going
on
with
transit,
with
with
bright
line
with
other
things
that
may
impact
this
interchange
in
our
decision,
and
we
don't
feel
right
now
we're
ready
to
make
it.
But
if
we
do
have
to
make
a
decision
I
can
it's
not
on
our
radar
to
implement
that
decision?
H
We
want
to
move
on
down
or
on
the
West,
Road
interchange
and
not
the
downtown
interchange.
What
we
do
want
to
do
on
the
downtown
interchange,
though,
is
we
want
to
address
the
safety
concern
that
is
there
today,
there's
about
1,500
crashes
a
year
1,500
a
year
in
the
downtown
interchange.
A
lot
of
them
are
in
that
portion
just
north
of
the
interchange.
H
A
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
the
the
really
hard
time
it
takes
to
get
to
the
I-4
exit
with
that
one
lane
and
the
people
coming
in
from
Martin
Luther
King
Boulevard
from
all
that
area.
It
just
is
very
congested.
If
you
drive
that
night
drove
it
for
many
years
from
bears
all
the
way
down
to
West
Shore,
you
find
that
from
about
Fletcher
down
to
Hillsborough
is
very
congested
and
then
once
you
get
past
Hillsborough,
if
you
want
to
go
to
I-4,
is
still
congested.
H
But
if
you
want
to
go
past
that
and
keep
going
through
downtown,
it's
not
so
bad.
We
need
to
take
the
improvements
and
wider
than
that
portion
of
the
interstate
past
Hillsborough
and
make
that
second
lane
to
go
to
I-4,
also
in
the
northbound
direction.
We
need
to
provide
two
lanes
from
I-4
to
go.
Northbound
and
be
able
to
flush
that
traffic
out,
which
will
allow
traffic
from
275
coming
from
the
West
Shore
area
as
well
through
the
downtown
interchange
to
be
able
to
move
quicker.
All
of
that
can
be
done.
H
H
By
putting
in
the
second
lane
to
go
through
there,
we
would
be
able
to
reduce
a
lot
of
the
crashes.
Is
there
hoping
that
the
segment
7
project
will
be
allowed
to
go
forward?
We
have
money
in
the
work
program.
Some
of
you
may
know
strategic
intermodal
system.
If
you've
heard
of
the
strategic
intermodal
system,
50
percent
of
the
state
dollars
go
to
the
strategic
intermodal
system.
We
compete
with
all
other
regions
of
Florida.
It's
not
given
it
to
us
by
formulas.
H
Some
of
our
funding
that
we
get
from
the
federal
government
and
from
the
state
is
by
population
our
percentage
of
the
population
in
the
state.
That's
how
much
we
get
strategic
intermodal
system
funding.
Is
it
like
that?
It's
given
to
where
the
need
is
the
most
worse
most
needed,
and,
quite
honestly,
how
well
we
do
and
selling
that
we
want
that
money
and
what
we
want
it
for
if
we
do
not
go
forward
with
segment
7,
which
has
been
suggested
to
the
NPO
as
one
possibility.
H
We
need
a
a
tip
amendment
in
next
month's
hearing
that
money
to
go
back
tallahassee,
and
I
know
that
there's
other
regions
of
the
state
that
have
already
asked
for
first
dibs
on
it.
If
it
goes
away,
we
won't
get
it
back.
It
also
would
hurt
our
chances
to
get
more
money
for
West
Shore
if
we
send
more
money
back
to
Tallahassee,
so
I'm
saying
the
downtown
interchange
is
not
our
top
priority
as
far
as
managed
lanes,
I
get
both
sides
of
the
argument.
H
H
There's
a
lot
of
different
things,
but
the
biggest
thing
in
my
mind
is
you
go
down
there
and
you
find
and
look
at
their
Express
Plus
system,
the
Express
bus
system,
that's
running
in
the
manage
lanes
and
the
money
that
we
collect
is
not
because
we
want
to
collect
money.
It's
not
a
revenue
generating
thing.
In
fact,
a
lot
of
that
money
is
pumped
back
into
the
Express
bus
operations.
H
It's
there
to
manage
how
much
traffic
is
in
and
out
just
like.
If
you
want
to
fly
someplace
and
you
want
to
fly
a
day
for
Thanksgiving,
it
costs
you
more
and
if
you
want
to
fly
on
Thanksgiving,
it's
to
manage
the
demand
and
the
supply,
and
by
managing
that
that
demand
and
supply
you
can.
You
can
maintain
sa
a
45
to
50
mile
an
hour
speed
through
there
as
we
get
I
saw
the
MPO
meeting
six
six
hundred
thousand
more
people
in
the
next
25
years.
H
Some
of
them
are
going
to
want
to
drive,
is
I'm
going
to
want
to
drive
on
the
interstates,
and
those
roads
are
going
to
get
much
more
congested
than
they
are
today.
If
we
just
make
them
regular
lanes
doesn't
cost
anything.
You're
gonna
get
two
more
lanes
that
are
going
to
great,
like
the
rest
of
them.
I
talked
to
folks
at
these
public
meetings
that
have
had
to
leave
downtown
Tampa
because
they
can't
afford
to
live
there
anymore.
H
They've
had
to
move
to
outer
places,
abreu
view
to
two
different
places
and
they
look
for
transit
opportunities.
These
types
of
corridors
will
give
you
a
transit
opportunity
that
gives
you
a
reliable
travel
time.
If
you
are
just
running
in
the
regular
lanes,
you
won't
have
that
reliable
travel
time.
So
I
encourage
you
not
to
just
throw
managed
lanes
out
as
Lexus
lanes.
I
do
believe
they're
much
more
than
that.
They're,
not
right
for
everywhere,
but
I
think
they
do
have
applications.
H
H
What
we
think,
though,
is,
is
that
we
can't
look
at
the
boulevard
without
looking
at
what
do
we
replace
that
with
not
just
a
Boulevard
which
would
have
a
lot
less
capacity
than
what's
on
the
interstate,
but
where
is
all
that
traffic
going
to
go
and
the
reason
I
say
that
is
because
federal
highway
administration
is
going
to
make
the
final
decision
and
they're
gonna
base
it
on.
How
is
this
regional
traffic
that
they're
looking
at
gonna
be
handled?
How
is
the
freight
movement?
How
is
the
emergency
evacuation?
H
So
we
got
a
look
at
where
else
we
make
improvements,
and
if
we
can
figure
that
portion
of
it
out,
do
you
wide
and
Dale,
Mabry
and
other
roads
in
order
to
provide
capacity
there,
then
maybe
the
viability
of
the
bullbar
becomes
much
higher
on
rail.
There
are
a
couple
of
constraints:
I'll
just
make
sure
you're
aware
of
on
our
ability
to
participate
on
rail
projects.
We
can
participate
in
rail
projects
as
long
as
we
follow
the
federal
process.
H
H
If
we
follow
the
federal
process,
we
can
go
after
federal
funds
for
50
percent,
twenty
five
for
state
and
then
the
local
twenty
five
in
the
past,
we
haven't
looked
at
rail
primarily
because
that
25
percent
local
wasn't
there,
and
if
you
didn't
have
that
25
percent
local,
you
were
not
going
to
enter
the
federal
process
now
that
we
have
the
25
percent.
Hopefully
that
can
be
contributed
from
the
locals
that
we
can
match
to
like.
We
are
on
on
several
other
projects.
H
Right
now
we
can
entertain
the
federal
process,
so
we're
not
opposed
at
all.
We
won't
be
the
lead
that
would
be
a
Hillsborough
County,
a
city
of
Tampa,
a
t-bar
test,
somebody
who
would
take
the
lead
on
that,
but
we
would
certainly
be
a
willing
partner
if
there's
a
viable
project
to
go
forward
with.
We
caution
you
about
talking
to
CSX
in
just
talking
to
them.
H
In
theory,
there
are
business
people,
their
business
model
is
to
get
as
much
most
as
they
can
for
their
assets,
and
so
they'll
talk
to
you
a
lot,
but
when
you
get
to
where
you
really
have
the
opportunity
to
tell
them
exactly
what
you
want
to
do,
that's
when
you
can
start
to
make
some
progress
on
what
is
it
that
they're
going
to
want?
I
can
tell
you
they're
they're
not
going
to
be
inexpensive.
It's
not
like
they're
willing
to
just
give
us
their
lines.
They
want
us
to
upgrade
their
lines.
H
H
If
you
say
we
just
want
to
know
what
you
can
do
it
don't
paint
a
nice
rosy
picture
for
you
quite
honestly
and
then,
when
you
come
back
looking
for
the
details,
oh
you
know.
The
prices
just
went
up
quite
a
bit
so,
but
we
I
do
want
you
to
know
that
we
want
to
be
a
partner
to
you.
We
are
listening
to
the
community.
H
We've
made
a
lot
of
changes
based
on
input,
we've
gotten
from
the
community
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with,
especially
with
the
new
members
and
I've,
really
encouraged
an
opportunity,
I'll
reach
out
to
try
to
get
a
one-on-one
meeting
with
each
of
you
to
answer
any
individual
questions.
You
have
councilman.
J
H
Know
what
I
think
everybody
that
I've
talked
to
has
had
a
different
opinion.
It's
very
hard
to
guess,
because
we
think
connected
vehicles
will
be
very
very
will
make
impacts
much
quicker.
Well,
we'll
start
seeing
things
where
vehicles
are
communicating
with
one
another
and
the
roadside,
but
not
necessarily
autonomously
that'll
have
a
lot
of
benefits
full
autonomy.
It's
so
hard
to
say
it
probably
isn't
going
to
be
in
the
next
ten
to
fifteen
years,
but
then
again,
things
can
in
technology
advances
sometimes
or
just
they
something
happens
and
they
move
forward.
Sorry,
yes,
one.
J
Other
question:
we
can
talk
about
this
more
offline,
but
you
talked
about
intermodal
I'm
on
several
statewide
boards
and
if
I
remember
the
numbers
correctly,
they
an
engineer
or
someone
said
that
a
truck
a
fully
loaded
truck
carrying
Freight
has
the
same
impact
as
15,000
cars
on
the
highway.
Anyway,
it
has
a
much
bigger
impact
than
a
car
yeah.
H
J
Have
our
port
has
started
to
turn
around
and
last
year
too,
and
is
drastically
increasing
the
number
of
containers,
but
we
still
have
a
large
number
coming
from
Miami
Fort
Lauderdale,
maybe
even
Jacksonville
at
Port
Canaveral
I
just
wanted
to
put
out
there
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
partner
with
your
intermodal
people
and
the
port
to
try
to
move
more
of
that
Freight
by
sea
to
Tampa
and
then
have
it
exit
here.
I
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
that
and
be
supportive
of
it.
That's.
H
E
You
mr.
chairman
Thank
You
mr.
secretary
I,
appreciate
all
of
your
presentation
today
in
regard
to
the
the
interchange
I
did
in
deferring
that
I
think
that
that's
probably
pretty
a
popular
notion,
at
least
in
terms
and
I
agree.
Why
sure
he's
not
controversial?
Everybody
knows
it
needs
to
get
you
get
done
when
I'm
coming
back
from
st.
E
That
it'd
be
good
to
defer
that
my
question
is
this:
when
you're
coming
when
you're
coming
south
on
275-
and
you
mentioned
I-
think
your
cohort
mentioned
coming
into
two
lanes
to
go
to
I-4
instead
of
the
single
lane
and
also
to
have
some
stacking
ability,
can
we
do
move
forward
with
that
without
without
it
being
part
of
the
whole
downtown
interchange?
Yes,.
A
Thank
you
so
much
any
other
questions.
Mr.
McKinney
can
I
ask
a
question
of
you.
There
is
a
sign
designating
Ybor
City
as
a
historic
area
on
the
I-4
yep,
a
friend
of
mine,
mr.
Robinson,
who
is
with
me
zra
CDC
in
West
half,
has
been
asking
how
a
designation
sign
for
historic,
West
Tampa
can
be
procured.
Would
you
mind
looking
into
that.
M
Chloe
Coney
who's
here
with
us
she's
actually
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
them
about
that,
and
they
were
specific
enough
referred
him
to
the
specific
folks
that
do
that
and
it
has
to
meet
just
for
your
information.
It
has
to
meet
certain
requirements
on
a
state
level,
but
obviously
we
can
look
into
that
and
I've
relayed
that
to
mr.
Robinson,
but
we'll
we'll
have
that
conversation.
You.
A
N
It's
all
about
white
people,
nothing
more,
nothing
less!
It's
all
about
local
manifesto
destiny,
connected
to
national
manifesto
destiny,
connected
to
white
nationalism
in
white
power,
nothing
more!
Nothing!
Less!
Everything
you
hear
in
this
hall
have
nothing
to
do
with
26%
of
the
black
population
of
the
city
of
Tampa.
N
It's
all
about
opportunity
for
white
people
and
everybody
else.
That's
how
that
works,
but
Martin
Luther,
King,
Marcus
Garvey,
a
philip
Randolph
Fannie,
Lou,
Hamer,
Malcolm,
X
or
Molly
yes,
Attila
Kwame,
Nkrumah,
Thomas,
Sankara,
Maurice,
Bishop
spoken
the
interests
of
African
people
internationally
nationally
and
locally,
and
always
try
to
follow
in
their
footsteps
and
represent
right
here
locally
in
Tampa.
N
Now
early
this
morning
you
had
some
gentlemen
that
connected
to
this
lady
here
and
apparently
he
seems
to
be
a
gauge
of
them
and
he
came
and
he
bashed
African
people
in
the
worst
way
in
the
worst
way.
And
what
I
like
to
do
is
stand
in
defense
of
my
people
and
the
hatred
you
hear
spewing
from
white
folks
mouth
in
reference
to
African
people.
N
He
came
and
spoke
in
a
way
to
set
black
people
up
hanging
at
the
Broadway
bar
to
get
hurt,
injured
man
killed
destroyed
by
the
police
department
and
any
other
authority
that
they
seemed
fit
to
do
whatsoever.
They
want
to
do
with
us
talking
about
some
garbage
about
some
popular
parties.
It's
grown
folks,
hang
it
with
Broadway
bar
I,
hang
at
the
Broadway
bar,
and
you
know
why
I
hang
at
the
Broadway
bar.
N
You
know,
while
we
think
in
Ybor
City,
because
every
other
bar
in
our
communities,
the
police,
have
kicked
us
out
of
every
place.
That's
indigenous
to
us.
They
have
ran
us
out.
Regen
trophic
ation
with
the
same
type
of
gay
people,
that's
moving
through
Seminole
hikes
and
taking
over
hi
park
in
West,
Tampa
and
other
areas
flexing
their
white
muscle,
nothing
more,
nothing
less.
N
N
D
D
20
years
later,
the
return
of
Councilman
Dean
Phil.
We
still
talk
about
the
same
thing:
social
justice,
but
I'm
with
a
new
label
this
morning,
because
we
got
a
good
president
over
at
the
n-double-a-cp
and
she
has
appointed
me
to
be
the
housing
chair
for
the
n-double-a-cp
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
respect
that
label
of
that
organization
or
not,
but
for
a
hundred
years
it's
been
making
a
demand
for
social
justice,
five
people
all
throughout
this
city.
You
come
downtown
around
six
o'clock,
whether
you
want
to
admit
it
or
not.
D
D
If
you
go
past,
when
it
first,
do
you
start
seeing
a
rien,
some
black
people
again
all
at
each
time?
It's
been
like
a
shell
game
of
things
that
we
can't
do
with
our
CRA,
but
when
I
heard
at
gentlemen
this
morning
talk
about
all
the
glorious,
wonderful
things
that
they
are
doing:
ere
CRA
money
and
then
the
inter
self
matching
funds.
But
when
we're
at
our
meeting
we
were
talking
about
roundabouts
roundabouts
roundabouts
can't
do
nothing.
D
I
would
like
to
see
it
shut
down
before
we
go
another
15
years,
but
I
don't
believe
we
will,
because
one
thing
we
are
able
to
do
now
under
grassroot
leadership
is
organizing
our
community.
We
got
too
many
families
inside
of
each
temple.
That
is
making
a
demand
for
I.
Don't
know
how
I
can
express
it
can't
say:
portable
housing,
no
more
housing
that
matches
income
and
wages
connected
to
Walmart
checkers.
D
That's
why
people
are
working.
We
need
a
housing
program,
so
people
can
have
dignity,
that's
what
we
want
and
that's
what
we
gonna
get,
because
we
organizing
ourselves
for
2021
what
is
2021
it's
when
we're
gonna.
Have
that
wonderful,
Super
Bowl!
Here
and
we
are
hoping
that
we
can
attract
wonderful
people,
they
believe
in
social
justice
and
when
they
get
away
from
our
listener.
D
Barrage
of
how
wonderful
temp
is
making
itself
the
new
South
Africa,
that's
what
you
becoming
when
people
can't
afford
to
live
in
neighborhoods
that
they
wants
to
lived
in,
that's
what
you're
becoming
we're
now.
All
curse
is
now
being
turned
over
to
the
University
of
tape
and
all
of
Noah
Boulevard
it's
gone
because
we
can't
afford
to
live
there.
Thank
you
can't
be
proud
of
that.
Thank
You.
D
Mr.
chairman
Ron
Weaver
401
East
Jackson
Street.
For
the
last
hour,
we've
spent
some
very
important
time,
looking
at
an
opportunity
or
three
that
have
arisen
for
this
community
and
Shakespeare
once
said
that
there
comes
a
tide
in
the
affairs
of
men
which
taken
at
the
flood
leads
on
to
fortune,
but
if
mists
lead
only
to
misery
and
despair.
I
275
north
of
downtown
is
misery
and
despair,
and
over
the
next
decade
is
going
to
be
two
hundred
and
fifty
percent
of
capacity.
D
In
a
way
that
does
look
out
in
the
future
for
the
potentiality
of
a
Boulevard,
but
not
at
the
expense
of
lost
money
or
fixing,
what
is
a
1500
crash
problem
with
I
275
downtown
here
interchange?
We
need
to
fix
the
immediate
problems
with
the
300
million
dollars.
We
need
to
add
one
lane
north
and
one
lane
additional
south
make
the
corrections
we
talked
about
with
respect
to
the
interchanges
of
I-275
and
I-4,
and
if
a
Boulevard
could
ever
earn
its
keep,
it
needs
to
look
at
for
hard
questions
first
number
one.
D
Unless
that
study
provides
that
the
cannabinews
could
be
connected
in
viola
vard,
but
there
would
have
to
be
adequate
provision
without
damaging
Florida
Avenue,
damaging
Nebraska,
Avenue
I
for
and
I
75
with
respect
to
connect
in
these
neighborhoods.
Yes,
a
commendable
objective,
but
not
interfere
with
the
need
to
get
I
to
75
and
its
role
in
commerce
and
126
million
visitors
per
year
to
Florida,
many
of
whom
used
the
I-275
connection.
Thank
you.
This
becoming
mr.
C
I
stayed
I've
been
here
for,
like
20
years,
I
came
from
Jamaica
and
listening
to
what
y'all
been
saying
about
supporting
housing
and
things
like
that.
I
stayed
in
a
hotel
with
me
and
my
two
children
and
I
pay
$70
at
night,
which
is
like
$1,300
a
month
and
I'm,
a
single
mother
with
three
children
which
I
do
take
heartlines
reputation.
I
have
to
pay
four
dollars
a
piece
with
my
children
and
for
me,
and
with
the
40,000
there's
no
affordable
housing
out
there
either
stay
across
Fletcher
I'm
Fletcher
15th.
C
We're
used
to
be
a
four.
Do
we
see
like
480
a
month
for
one-bedroom?
Now
it's
700
$800
and
there's
no,
where
possible,
where
you're
you're
able
to
afford
a
housing
and
pay
for
me
to
go
to
work
and
pay
for
my
kids
to
go
to
school
and
for
our
reputation.
So
what
I'm
saying
as
a
mother
is
no
place
out
there
for
me
and
my
children
to
actually
be
settled
down
to
find
a
place
for
us
to
stay
for
our
good
environment?
For
me,
much
isn't.
There's
no
tool.
I
took
things
like
that.
C
So
as
a
mother
speaking
out
as
a
restless
to
the
most
hunger
that
job
I
really
need
to
do
something
about
it,
because
I'm
struggling
like
literally
I
want
y'all
to
hear
me
as
a
mother,
I'm
struggling
here,
and
society
is
not
doing
no
better.
For
me
on
my
children
and
I,
some
mother
I
have
a
daughter
and
I
don't
want
to
leave.
Knowing
that
my
daughter
and
my
son's
gonna
be
out
here,
struggling.
C
They
come
20
years
later
next
time
and
have
longer
to
come
up
here,
knowing
that
my
kids
gonna
be
coming
up
here
again
struggling
in
society,
so
I
want
you
to
really
listen
to
me.
Hear
me
as
a
mother
to
know
that
trying
to
do
something
about
society,
for
housing
by
she's
rotation,
a
lot
of
things
because
I'm
struggling
and
it's
not
good
as
a
mother
to
know
I'm
going
through
this
and
everybody
else
out.
There
is
getting
out
there
comfortably.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
C
I
G
I
And
I'm
commit
I.
Think
I
just
got
important
to
the
Housing
Committee
I'm
committed
to
try
to
fight
that
battle.
I
want
people
to
understand
that,
because
I
I
lived
that
so
I
understand
your
situation,
especially
with
children,
because
I
worked
in
schools
and
I
understand
what
happens
in
our
communities.
They
take
the
school
and
I
I'm
committed.
I.
Think
this
board
is
committed
and
we're
gonna
do
something
about
it.
We're
gonna
try
our
best
to
make
sure
we
make
the
best
thing
we
can
for
our
generation
to
come.
C
I,
don't
want
a
next
generation
to
go
through
what
I'm
going
through
now
and
that'll,
be
so
tragic
to
know
that
we
as
a
mother,
we
push
our
best
for
our
children
again
to
have
so
much
good
life.
But
then,
when
we're
getting
gone
they
still
going
through
the
struggle.
We
don't
want
that
for
our
children
and
I'm
I
know
that
for
a
fact
uncle
Jamaica
born
and
raised
in
Jamaica
and
I
know
my
parents
did
not
want
me
to
go
through
I'm
going
through
now.
C
L
L
City
Council
was
kind
enough
to
appoint
me
to
the
independent
Oversight
Committee
in
January
I
believe
it
was
that's
the
committee
that
is
to
be
reviewing
expenditures
under
the
new
tax
referendum,
all
of
which
is
to
say,
you'll,
be
hearing
a
lot
from
me
on
issues
having
to
do
with
transportation
over
the
coming
months
and
years
for
better
or
worse.
For
the
last
four
years,
I've
been
coming
to
this
group,
either
a
CRA
or
City
Council
in
opposition
to
tbx.
It's
now
called
Tampa
Bay.
L
L
Here
today,
in
an
effort
to
try
now,
since
we
have
alignment
of
parties
with
public
comment
after
the
the
F
dot
presentation
to
try
to
rebut
in
three
minutes
what
they
took
an
hour
or
more,
to
say,
obviously
it's
impossible
to
do
as
I
was
standing
there
trying
to
triage.
My
notes,
I
think
that
the
best
to
do
is
just
to
address
a
couple
of
points,
some
of
which
actually
were
raised
by
members
of
the
council.
First
of
all,
having
to
do
with
the
downtown
interchange
alternatives.
L
There
are
four
of
them
that
are
civically,
being
looked
at
in
a
clue,
including
or
not,
including
in
addition
to
a
no
build
option.
It
is
the
sentiment
of
the
community
that
I
represent
that
the
no
build
option
is
the
direction
we
want
to
go
of
the
four
other
alternatives
that
are
being
considered.
All
of
them
involve
destruction
of
one
one
type
or
another
at
one
level
or
another
of
historic
downtown
communities.
None
of
that
is
acceptable
as
a
price
to
pay
for
additional
cars,
congestion
and
pollution.
L
There's
a
lot
more
I
could
say
about
that.
But
time
doesn't
permit.
Also,
with
regards
to
section
7,
that's
the
section
north
of
the
downtown
interchange
that
runs
through
Seminole
Heights
I
find
it
absolutely
amazing
that
we
could
sit
here
for
an
hour
to
an
hour
and
a
half
and
not
one
representative
of
Florida
Department
of
Transportation.
So
much
as
mentioned
the
fact
that
there
was
a
public
hearing
on
this
PDD
at
Seminole
Heights
about
six
weeks
ago.
L
Some
of
you
were
there,
standing-room-only
public
comment
taken,
and
it
clearly
was
the
sentiment
of
that
community
that
that
project,
as
envisioned
by
F
dot,
should
not
go
forward
and
that
a
no
build
alternative
would
be
a
preference
and
several
people
voiced
preference
for
the
boulevard.
Again.
I
don't
have
time.
I
could
talk
to
you
for
an
hour
and
I'm
sure
we'll
have
chances
to
talk
in
the
future.
A
E
Mr.
chairman
I'm
number
I'm
number
five,
which
I'll
be
glad
to
move
in
a
second
I
just
had
a
question
for
mr.
McDonough
I'm,
familiar
with
the
that
Main
Street
area.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
my
wife
and
I
and
our
partners
have
a
property
about
four
blocks:
further
west,
but
when
I
googled
up
this,
this
particular
property
and
I'm
familiar
with
it,
it's
the
it's
on
the
facade.
E
It
said
it's
now,
a
metro,
I
think
a
metro,
metro,
pcs,
yeah,
there's
sort
of
a
before
and
after
and
it
looks
it
appears
to
me
in
watching
that
building
that
they've
already
done
the
work
on
the
facade
I
mean
they've
done
great
improvements.
They've
done,
they
pointed
the
the
bricks
and
the
whole
thing.
What's
our
policy
on
work?
That's
already
been.
K
Known
that
this
is
not
for
work
already
done,
this
is
still
work
to
be
done
and
actually
the
owners
here.
If
you
would
like
to
speak
with
him,
but
if
you
notice
that
up
in
the
second
floor,
those
are
the
none
traditional
windows,
it's
restoration
of
the
original
windows
and
some
other
stucco
work
as
well,
but
the
owner
spirits,
you'd
like
to
question
okay,
that's.
K
K
E
K
A
E
And
not
to
not
to
dwell
on
it,
but
I
will
a
little
bit
longer
out
on
the
campaign
trail.
The
discussion
came
up
as
related
in
the
big
picture
of
CRA
s
that
we
we
hire.
We
are
the
CRA.
We
all
know
that
the
we
hire
the
city
and
the
city
staff
to
be
our
managers,
I'd
probably
like
to
get
some
detail
in
terms
of
what
that.
What
that
costs
us
on
an
annual
basis
and
I,
also
wonder
historically,
has
it
any
ads?
E
E
That's
done
all
over
the
nation,
necessarily
that
the
other
CRA
s
automatically
hire
their
own
city
or
is
it
something
we
should
explore
in
terms
of
putting
out
an
RFP
to
the
community,
perhaps
to
some
nonprofits,
maybe
on
an
exploratory
basis
of
you
know,
let's
pick
one
CRA,
for
example
East
Tampa
or
something
like
that
and
say
you
know,
put
out
an
RFP
if
the
city
wants
to
compete
in
that
RFP.
Fine.
If
nonprofits
want
to
compete
in
that
RFP
to
be
the
manager
of
that
particular
CRA,
and
we
something
we
could
explore.
E
I
know
it's
not
business
as
usual,
but
it's
something
that
did
come
out
on
on
the
campaign.
Trail
and
I.
Think
it's
it's
something
that,
as
like
I
say,
we
are
the
CRA
and
we
have
a
very
big,
huge
fiduciary
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
that
it's
done
in
the
best
possible
way
and
in
the
most
inclusive
possible
way-
and
maybe
it's
more
inclusive
to
let
the
community
itself
be
involved
in
managing
it
as
opposed
to
the
city,
doing
it
on
a
top-down
basis.
So
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out.
J
Know
if
you'd
like
to
turn
that
in
motion
I
would
second
it
it's.
It
I
think
it's
good
to
hold
any
organization
accountable,
and
there
have
been
some
concerns
that
were
that
folks
in
the
community,
about
the
costs
that
the
city
charges
the
CRA
s,
and
it
would
be
interesting
to
put
it
out
to
an
RFP
to
see
you
know
what
would
come
back
to
see
if
the
city
is
competitive.
Any.
A
Having
worked
with
a
a
CRA
and
knowing
the
flack
that
we're
getting
from
the
state
of
Florida,
especially
on
local
rule,
we
are
excuse
me,
the
CRA
s,
and
this
board
have
been
the
most
hard-working
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
transparent
and
aboveboard
and
again
we
are
having
a
situation
with
the
state
of
Florida
that
wants
to
take
away
local
rules
concerning
CRA
s.
Having
said
that,
council,
will
you
briefed
us
on
your
opinion
on
that.
O
A
O
It
was
done
back
then.
If
you
remember
the
south,
we
don't
sorry
for
the
record.
If
you're
moving
back,
then
we
only
had
one
CR
area.
As
you
know,
there's
only
one
C
already,
that's
you
and
there
are
many
areas
of
the
CRA
back
then
the
only
we
had
only
one
we
had
was
downtown.
There's
not
a
lot
to
do,
because
all
the
money
was
was
put
there
for
the
Convention
Center.
As
you
added
more
decision
had
to
be
made.
Does
it
make
sense
to
continue
with
the
operation
that
you
haven't?
O
Have
the
city
continued
to
provide
you
with
those
services
and
it
was
found
that
that
was
the
most
cost
efficient
way
of
doing
them,
because
you
do
share
the
people
that
are
working
here,
many
of
them,
including
mr.
McDonough,
it's
paid
from
the
city
as
well
as
the
CRA
a
minute
even
getting
any
CRA
funding.
Other
managers
is
a
share
that
comes
out
every
year.
You
get
the
figures,
it
tells
you
exactly
how
much?
What
are
you
going
to
each
see
our
area?
How
much
is
coming
from
the
city?
O
How
much
is
coming
from
the
CRA,
which
is
for
administration
that
has
all
been
established?
This
is
your
decision
or
how
you
want
to
operate
it.
You
do
have
to
keep
the
city
attorney.
Unfortunately,
for
your
benefit,
if
you
want
to
change
it,
so
that's
the
way
it
was
created.
If
you
want
to
bring
somebody
else
in
to
serve
you,
that's
in
your
authority
to
do
that,
but
it
has
bound
found
to
be
the
most
cost
efficient
to
do
it.
O
The
way
we
are
doing
because
you're
sharing
the
costs
under
the
statute
that
just
came
up,
he
stopped
the
fall,
the
city
procedures.
So
if
you
had
some
money
the
outside
managing
it,
they
still
have
to
follow
the
same
procedures
and
use
the
city
purchasing
department,
all
the
other
departments.
So
there
is
a
sharing
going
on
right
now,
but
who's
really
done
for
cost
saving
and
efficiency.
What
it
was
established.
It
was
a
lot
easier.
There
was
nothing
for
you
to
do,
but
the
morning
is
already
being
allocated.
There's.
O
E
O
O
O
E
And
in
terms
of
exploring
the
cost-effectiveness
I,
don't
know
that
any
council
slash
CRA
has
really
explored.
You
know
in
a
deep
deep
way
the
cost
efficiencies
of
using
listen.
Like
mr.
Carlson
said
it's
it's
important
when
you're
managing
especially
millions
of
millions
of
dollars
that
we
dig
into
these
things
and
make
sure
we're
doing
the
best
possible
job.
We
don't
know
it
in
the
abstract
if
I'll
make
the
motion
just
to
move
it
forward
and
and
see
where
it
goes
so,
nothing
overnight.
A
E

The
city
may
not
even
want
to
respond
because
CRS
are
CR
Asian,
it
might
look,
certainly
enhance
the
quickness
of
doing
something,
but
it
does
have
a
shortfall
of
the
general
fund
of
the
city.
It
certainly
takes
away
people
that
do
live
in
an
area
where
there
are
no
CRA
senescence
contribute
more
than
what
they
get
back
because,
indirectly
they
find
something
the
CRA
that
they
get
even
zero
back
for.
So
therefore,
there's
another
way
to
look
at
the
CRA
and
I'm,
not
an
expert
on
CIA's
I.
J
J
If
you
know
where
it
really
is,
councilman
Miranda
said
we're
taking
money
that
could
be
used
citywide
and
using
it
a
specific
area,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
showing
the
taxpayers
that
we're
using
their
money
in
the
best
possible
way
and
that
it's
in
that
particular
area,
and
that
would
be
part
of
potentially
part
of
that.
Just
let.
A
Me
clear
it
for
what
I
said
it
in
a
few
words:
ers
are
great:
it
enhances
an
area
quicker
than
what
normally
would
happen.
That's
the
main
thing
of
it,
but
it
also
has
a
short
fault
that
in
other
areas
you
participate.
That
doesn't
mean
that
the
area
is
not
going
to
get
enhanced.
It
just
would
take
maybe
longer
to
get
in
the
nest
and
the
CRA
through
the
development
process
of
it
and
the
way
we
that
certain
cap,
the
money
face
in
that
certain
district
certainly
enhances
it
quicker.
A
O
One
thing:
that's
Truman:
how
to
get
to
rock
you
do
realize
that
you're
not
only
using
City
money,
you
need
everybody.
So
if
you
have
a
Polish,
an
area,
you've
lost
basically
half
of
the
amount
of
money
you
have
to
develop.
That
area.
That's
one
of
the
big
reasons
where
you
have
to
see
our
race
because
nominee
do
you
share
the
county
shares
and
in
some
cases
the
Port
Authority
tears
you
there.
J
O
Into
a
contract
with
the
city,
you
get
a
chance
to
look
at
less
I'm,
not
trying
to
cut
you
off
when
trying
to
give
you
some
background.
Some
of
you
who
knew
some
been
here
a
long
time,
but
every
year
a
contract
is
submitted
to
you
and
in
that
contract
expels
out
how
much
each
of
the
areas
is
contributing
to
that.
That's
a
chance
for
you
to
look
at
it
as
well.
Never
a
decision
you
come
to
you
get
any
of
the
information
you
want.
They
will
provide
you.
The
city
will
provide
you
this.
A
A
K
You
could
choose
to
do
it
earlier.
If
you
look
at
the
strategic
action
plan
and
you
felt
that
most
of
the
goals
in
the
strategic
action
plan
have
been
met,
then
you
in
the
city
in
the
county,
you
could
decide,
say:
okay.
We
feel
that
this
is
now
mature
that
the
blight
that
existed
previously,
it's
no
longer
around,
probably
the
best
example
of
that
would
be
the
channel
district.
When
the
CRA
was
founded.
K
It
was
very
much
an
industrial
district
that
was
undergoing
change
and
virtually
most
of
the
goals
in
that
strategic
action
plan
had
been
reached.
There
is
the
construction
of
a
third
Park
which
has
already
been
contracted
for
and
there's
also
some
roadwork
and
sidewalk
work,
which
has
also
been
constructed.
It's
probably
about
a
24
month
process
council
had
approved
about
thirteen
million
dollars
in
expenditures,
but
to
the
end
of
that
period,
virtually
all
of
the
work
that
was
originally
envisioned
in
the
strategic
action
plan.
O
A
A
I
For
me,
I
see
where
mister
thing
fellas
going.
We
have
several
different
CRS
and
when
I
sit
back
and
I
look
at
all
these
CRA
s,
one
is
never
really
thrived.
So
my
question
is
well.
Accountability.
Are
a
lot
more
resources
going
to
channel
or
downtown
ytc,
or
is
the
east
help
CRA?
Not
getting
all
the
resources
like
everyone
is
that's
my
question
to
find
out
the
accountability.
No,
because
if
we've
had
a
CRA
that
long
in
the
east
and
to
me
we
have
not
really
arrived,
but
everyone
else
is
right.
Maybe
the
money
base.
I
O
Mr.
deal
of
money
has
to
be
spent
in
the
areas
collected,
so
I
collected
as
much
downtown.
You
could
not
imagine
realize,
or
the
recession
hit
a
stamp
who
went
almost
below
zero.
They
had
nothing
coming
in,
so
they
couldn't
spend
the
need
the
funding
whatever
they
had
they
could
spend.
But,
as
you
know,
you
cannot
spend
money
from
one
area
in
the
other,
so
one
is
not
drawing
it
through
your
point:
I
get
it
if
there
are
literacy
all
right
there,
that
money
goes
to
the
general
fund
and
that
money
can
be
used
anywhere.
I
Know
about
that
point,
my
thing
is
when
I
say
resources
or
accountability,
resources
are
say,
stab
more
focused
or
being
told
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
development
done,
making
sure
that
we're
getting
people
involved
in
that
see.
Alright,
that's
my
point
of
the
matter,
because
things
just
don't
happen
unless
we
make
it
happen
so
I
my
things,
accountability
are.
Are
we
having
all
of
our
sea
staff
if
I
found
mayor
of
I'm
a
councilman
and
I
got
a
CRA
and
it's
just
any
thrive,
but
I
want
to
know
well
who's.
I
A
E
Me
just
clarify
my
motion,
so
it
doesn't
get
confused
and
then
and
then,
if
folks
want
to
add
on
to
that
motion
as
Miss
Miranda
indicated
I'm
fine
with
that,
because
we
should.
We
should
be
discussing
all
this,
but
my
motion
was
strictly
related
to
management
without
casting
any
aspersions
on
the
city
or
the
city
managers,
who
you
know
Bob
and
I
go
way
back
and
and
I
think
he's
a
great
guy
and
a
hard
worker,
but
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
mean
anything's,
perfect
I
want
us
to
have
that
discussion.
E
Perhaps
a
workshop
format
might
be
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
better.
That's
up
to
mr.
chairman.
However,
you
want
to
proceed
procedurally,
but
but
I
you
know,
I
threw
it
out
there
miss
Miranda.
Mr.
Karlson
brought
up
some
good
good
ideas
and
questions
about.
Perhaps
the
viability
and
longevity
and
sunsetting
possible
these
of
some
of
these
areas,
and
thank
you
Sal
for
for
enhancing
that
discussion.
E
A
E
E
A
I
I
E
A
B
Sir,
if
I
may
mr.
chair
I
move
the
CRA
members
write
a
letter
of
support
for
the
Urban
Land
Institute
Tampa
Bay
as
they
apply
to
the
Urban
Land
Institute,
building
healthy
places,
initiative
grant.
This
is
a
grant
from
the
Robert.
Just
to
give
you
also
a
brief
background.
This
is
a
grant
from
the
Robert
Wood
Johnson
Foundation
that
will
provide
help
and
assistance
to
identify
policies
and
recommendations
on
areas
like
parking
regulations
owning
an
affordable
house
in
an
if
chosen.
Tampa
would
be
one
of
four
cities
to
take
part
in
this.
