Our
families
lead
us
to
be
strong
to
be
wise
and,
to
always
always
be
humble,
help
us
also
to
reflect
positively
on
the
amazing
men
and
women
serving
currently
or
serving
previously
in
our
military,
as
we
think
and
reflect
ahead
of
Veterans
Day
this
coming
Monday.
It
is
through
their
efforts
that
we
are
able
to
live
peacefully
in
this
great
nation
in
Jesus
name.
We
pray
and
lift
your
Holy
Name
Amen.

I
proposed
moving
that
one
to
March
5th.
The
reason
that
I
that
I
said
in
my
memo
was
that
originally
we
wanted
the
head
of
Economic
Development
a
report
since
then
the
head
of
economic
developed,
and
so
the
idea
is
to
wait
until
the
head
of
Economic
Development
is
on
board
and
has
time
to
analyze
the
situation
and
has
a
look
at
that
in
the
context
of
a
larger
plan.
Okay,.
A
C
A
You
for
that
I
know
that
our
friends
from
Donatello
or
requesting
to
go
first
and
I
have
no
problem
with
that.
We'll
have
that
and
then
additionally,
we
have
missed
the
wonderful
hair
and
clay
here.
I
was
requesting
that
she
go
with
world
friends
with
Tampa
Bay
water
beforehand.
We
need
a
motion
for
that.
That's.
C
F
Its
chairman,
honorable
chairman
I'm
members,
in
City
Council,
you
know
for
many
years,
I've
had
the
honor
and
the
opportunity
to
serve
this
community.
For
many
years
we
have
given
hundreds,
or
maybe
thousands
of
accommodations
and
I
can
say
this
standing
here
before
you
today.
When
this
came
about
its
I
would
say.
This
is
in
the
top
five
of
any
combination
that
I've
had
the
honor
of
presenting
and-
and
this
is
because
it
started
not
by
us
asking
them.
F
It
was
them
asking
then
mayor
Friedman
that
they
wanted
to
do
something
for
the
community
and
for
the
past
30
years
the
Donatello
family
from
the
famous
restaurant
Italian
restaurant,
have
you
haven't
been
there?
You
had
a
good
meal,
they
started
this
with
the
blessings
of
Mayor
Friedman
and
he
just
called
me
also
Bobby
Bowden
was
there
from
day
one
and
Bobby
couldn't
make
it
today,
but
he
told
me
to
do
the
best
I
can
without
him
and
so
I'll
try.
F
This
family
has
done
an
outstanding
thing
for
30
years
and
every
Thanksgiving
day
they
have
a
dinner
at
the
restaurant
and
I
like
to
present.
First
of
all,
his
son,
Gino
and
lovely
wife,
Alexander
young
and
I've
known
Kitty
I,
just
saw
Kitty,
shook
her
hand,
I
hadn't,
seen
Kitty
sense
of
Skylanders,
and
the
Skylanders
was
one
of
the
best
groups
that
always
played
on
Saturday
and
very
close
to
what
it
was.
F
G
F
Apologize
to
you
getting
had
the
dark
glassy
be
like
me:
hey
hey
there,
you
go
I,
didn't
say.
For
that
reason:
I
said
that
you
know
we
look
alike,
but
what
I'm
trying
to
say
is
no.
Ever
thirty
thousand
people
have
been
served
by
this
family
on
Thanksgiving,
the
last
thirty
years
about
a
thousand
a
year,
and-
and
that
leaves
a
warm
heart
my
mind,
because
most
of
these
kids
that
come
there
and
their
families
that
come
in
from
foster
foster
children
and
their
families
that
are
helping
them
out.
F
Sometimes
they
are
forgotten
along
with
them,
but
some
of
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
come
in
and
many
other
organizations,
and
it's
just
an
unbelievable
thing.
What
they
do
not
only
do
they
serve
a
first-class
meal
for
Thanksgiving
Day,
but
the
oath
of
gifts,
every
child
that
comes
in
there
gets
a
gift
on
the
way
out
and
we
didn't
ask
for
it.
They
came
to
see
mayor
Friedman,
your
father,
Guido's
it
and
no
relation
you
really
a
Guido.
You
related
will
I.
F
Just
want
to
make
sure
I
didn't
I
didn't
miss
out
on
that,
but
what
your
father
started
in
your
family,
along
with
your
lovely
mother,
Alexandra,
it's
an
amazing
thing
and
I'm
proud
to
be
here
today
and
read
part
of
this
combination.
The
Tampa
City
Council
is
honored
to
recognize
the
Nutella
Italian
restaurant
for
the
generosity,
terrible
Thanksgiving
dinners
every
year,
the
family
of
the
community,
the
contribution
of
Tazio
family
speaks
volumes
of
the
value
and
the
commitment
to
the
residence.
F
What
you
do
sometimes
are
people
that
we
forget
about
in
essence,
and
life
real
life,
and
what
you
do
is
give
somebody
hope.
Somebody
and
admiration
somebody
a
step
up
instead
of
a
pushdown,
and
for
that
you
have
to
be
gratified
by
all
of
us.
Your
family
has
done
an
outstanding
work
and
for
many
years
and
Victor
he's
their
barber.
He
used
to
be
my
barber,
but
with
a
head
like
this,
he
went
out
of
business
and
but
Victor's
been
helping
them
along
with
bobby
bowden
and
marvin
night.
F
They
show
up
with
a
bunch
of
individuals
in
the
community
who
name
one
a
mo,
miss
em.
All
they
show
up
to
help
when
you
serve
a
thousand
people,
you
need
help
and
if
you
haven't
been
to
the
restaurant,
try
it
you'll
go
back
on
behalf
of
Tampa
City
Council's,
my
honor,
to
represent
thee
the
ELSA
family.
This
combination
for
what
your
father
started
along
with
your
mother
and
she
was,
by
his
side
all
the
way,
and
we
really
appreciate
very
much
and
we
really
appreciate
it.
E
E
Like
mr.
Miranda
said,
my
father
started
this
event
along
with
Miss
Freedman,
because
he
wanted
to
give
something
back
to
the
city
and
to
the
people
that
were
most
needy.
They
really
created
the
event
and
it's
the
people
that
are
here
with
me.
I've,
been
instrumental
over
the
years
and
continuing
it
primarily
for
my
stepmother
Alessandra
of
30-plus
years,
she's
really
been
the
driving
force
in
growing
it,
making
it
become
the
event
that
it
has.
E
Mosquitia
Majeed
have
donated
their
time
to
claim
you
plate
on
Thanksgiving
Day
for
all
of
the
visitors
that
come
to
the
restaurant
for
over
24
20
years
now
and
Victor
has
been
a
volunteer
with
us
for
many
years.
Also
and
again,
like
mr.
Miranda,
said
to
feed
a
thousand
people.
In
one
day
we
have
50
60,
70
volunteers
that
show
up
every
year
without
us,
calling
them
or
asking
them
repeatedly
different
people
from
different
event.
E
Organizations
from
high
school
kids
to
all
different
types
of
people
again
from
this
from
this
all
around
the
city
of
Tampa.
They
come
in
and
help
us
make
the
event
without
them.
We'd
still
be
serving
Thanksgiving
Day
dinner
by
the
time
next
Thanksgiving
king.
So
yes
thank
you
again,
primarily
to
city
of
Tampa
and
Tampa
City
Council.
Thank
you
for
having
us
and
thank
you
for
this
recognition
and.
F
Let
me
say
from
experience:
if
you
want
to
listen
to
a
good
combo
and
sometimes
there's
a
tree
over
there,
Monday
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays,
it's
a
lounge
as
you
go
into
the
left
kitty
and
a
tall
Z
is
fantastic.
I,
remember
her.
When
we
were
all
teenagers,
she
still
looks
young
I,
don't
know
what
happened
to
me.
A
H
Miranda,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
to
our
attention.
Donatello's
family,
and
we
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
and
the
community
that
you
do
for
this
event.
On
a
personal
note,
there's
been
a
big
thrill
for
me
to
be
on
City
Council
over
the
years,
but
a
bigger
thrill
was
the
opportunity
to
sit
at
the
City,
Miss,
Kitty's,
piano
and
sing
and
sing
with
her,
because
she
is
a
she.
H
A
B
I
try
to
go
almost
every
year,
at
least
for
the
last
10
years
to
the
Thanksgiving
Day
that
you
do
and
it's
insane
with
the
amount
of
people
that
you
give
gifts
to
the
kids
coming
through
celebrities
coming
through
everybody,
getting
a
meal
there
and
treated
with
respect
that
they
can
sit
down
and
enjoy
it.
My
father
doesn't
miss
it.
I
mean
he's
there
regularly.
Your
father
was
a
wonderful
person
and,
of
course,
I
appreciate
anybody
named
Guido,
because
it's.
D
B
It's
not
common,
but
he
was
always
welcoming
than
everybody,
and
it
was
always
a
treat.
It's
always
a
treat
to
go
to
donto
because
you
don't
know
who
you're
gonna
bump
into
I've
met
Robin
Williams
they're.
My
father's
met
countless
celebrities,
sports
figures.
It's
like
when
I
used
to
go
to
Ma
Leo's
on
Bill,
Maher
you'd
always
see
somebody
famous,
but
you
can't
be
Donatello
I
mean
there's.
Restaurants
come
and
go.
B
I
A
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
it's
a
real
pleasure
to
be
here
today
and
to
give
a
tampa
city
council
commendation
to
our
good
friends
with
safe
and
sound
Hillsborough
I,
see
here
our
our
good
friends,
our
state
attorney
mr.
Andrew
Warren
on
this
Julie
Howe
and
wonderful
Maria
Moreno
was
such
a
great
public
defender.
It's
a
real
pleasure.
A
If
y'all
want
to
come
up
here,
y'all
may
you
know
it's
funny
when
I
was
looking
over
a
perspective,
remarks
for
this
I
kept
on
thinking
about
the
term
that
has
been
so
maligned
in
the
last
10
years,
community
organizer
and
we
all
know
in
what
context
that's
been
maligned,
but
I
always
think
whenever
folks
talk
about
the
idea
of
organizing
the
community
that
that's
a
good
thing
that
when
you
take
a
look
at
people
who
need
help
the
hungry,
the
poor,
the
abandoned
those
who
are
at
risk
etc,
and
you
give
them
help,
you
give
them
intervention,
that's
a
good
thing.
A
Well,
that's
exactly
what
safe
and
sound
Hillsborough,
along
with
its
wonderful
community
partners
who
are
here,
has
been
doing
since
2013,
and
they
do
just
a
real
real
marvelous
job
in
that
regard.
I
know
that
there
recently,
you
were
here
when
councilman
Goodes
brought
up
for
discussion
and
re-entry
ordinance,
and
that
really
goes
to
the
heart
of
what
safe
and
sound
Hillsborough.
A
Does
a
lot
of
people
talk
about
the
idea
of
being
tough
on
crime
and,
and
there
are
certainly
times
when
you
have
to
do
that,
but
you've
also
got
to
be
tough
on
the
causes
of
crime,
that
sort
of
isolation,
the
the
family,
discord,
family
disruption,
etc.
The
basic
things
that
safe
and
sound
Hillsborough
get
down
to
the
core
of,
and
that's
something
that
we
certainly
are
looking
forward
to
honoring,
not
just
here
today,
but
continuing
to
honor
as
community
partners
of
with
safe
and
sound
hos
board.
A
J
Morning,
council
members-
certainly,
you
know
we're
honored
to
be
here
to
receive
this
commendation
and
also
that
just
once
again
talk
about
the
efforts
of
safe
and
sound
Hillsborough
to
reduce
and
prevent
violence
in
our
community.
As
our
vision
statement
says,
we
work
together
to
promote
strong
families,
safe
schools
and
healthy
neighborhoods.
We
can't
do
this
work
without
the
strong
support
of
all
of
you
here.
The
city
of
Tampa
is
one
of
our
is
one
of
our
strongest
partners
in
our,
and
it
just
speaks
to
the
magnitude
of
our
work.
J
C
J
K
Well,
good
morning,
everyone-
and
thank
you
all
very
much
for
having
us
here
today
and
and
chair
Viera.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
commendation,
I.
Just
on
behalf
the
Leadership
Council
want
to
say
that
you
know
our
efforts
really
have
started
to
focus
tremendously
on
mental
health
well-being
in
our
community
and
I
am
hopeful
that
you
will
appreciate
your
role
in
that
particular
mission
statement
that
we
have,
because
we
recently
went
out
even
to
as
far
out
as
Y,
mama
and
I
can
tell
you
everywhere.
We've
been
over
the
last
year.
K
The
number
one
concern
that
this
community
has
is
the
prevention
of
violence
and,
even
more
importantly,
the
mental
health
well-being
of
its
citizens
in
this
community,
and
they
clearly
look
to
us
as
elected
officials
and
as
community
partners,
to
help
them
in
that
particular
quest.
So
on
behalf
of
the
Leadership
Council
I,
thank
you
for
your
very
strong
support.
I,
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
I
want
to
introduce
for
just
a
moment.
K
L
Good
morning,
just
to
echo
the
comments
of
our
public
defender
and
Freddy
Barton,
safe
and
sound
Hillsboro
has
done
so
much
to
embrace
the
philosophy
that
we
can
reduce
crime
and
make
our
neighborhood
safer
by
preventing
crime,
trying
to
steer
kids
away
from
the
downward
spiral
of
the
system.
But
I
tell
you
as
much
as
we
look
at
systemic
change
within
the
criminal
justice
system.
Safe
and
sound
Hills
Road
is
so
much
on
a
person-by-person
level.
L
It
makes
a
difference
in
those
kids
and
you
can
see
in
their
faces
to
know
that
there
are
people
in
this
community
who
care
about
them
who
are
working
towards
making
them
safer,
healthier,
stronger
and
keeping
them
on
a
path
to
being
a
productive
citizen,
and
until
you
actually
come
to
one
of
those
events
and
I
urge
people
to
come
watch
what's
safe
and
sound
does
on
an
event
by
event
basis.
It's
hard
to
appreciate
the
impact
that
Freddy
and
his
team
has
every
day
on
at-risk
kids
in
our
community.
B
M
Does
always
bring,
we
have
a
great
program
and
you
have
great
leadership
that
are
in
those
programs.
Yeah
I
just
want
to
say
Frey.
Thank
you
for
coming
a
couple
weeks
ago.
You
know
how
interested
I
am
in
our
communities
and
our
young
people
in
young
adults
who
had
passing
discretions,
who
were
not
getting
opportunities
and
I
was
thankful
that
you
were
able
to
come
and
speak
because
you're
dealing
with
that
every
day.
M
You
understand
that
and
I'm
glad
that
this
council
on
that
day
understood
that
and
also
had
some
suggestions
to
bring
back
to
our
legal.
So
we
can
get
something
moving
in
the
city
of
Tim,
so
we
can
be
there.
The
forefathers
of
getting
something
great
in
the
city
Timbers
relates
to
reentry
miss
holt.
Mr.
warren,
I
you're
doing
a
fabulous
job.
M
I
did
go
to
your
your
a
big
Council
meeting
and
I
think
when
I
ate
in
your
office
is
working
with
a
date
for
you
to
come
before
council
to
tell
us
all
the
other,
wonderful
programs
that
you
have
working
on
in
our
county
and
we're
looking
forward
to
doing
that.
So
I
think
you
give
what
work
you're
doing
it.
Thank
You
Freddie.
H
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
echo
councilman
Goods
comments.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
Miss
wholeness
Marino
for
many
many
years
and
mr.
Warren
for
a
couple
of
years
now
and
this
community
is
so
lucky.
You
know.
Criminal
justice
is
one
of
the
most
challenging
difficult
things
facing
our
community
and
it
affects
everybody
in
numerous
ways,
whether
or
not
your
victim
or
family,
or
what
have
you
but
we're
so
lucky
to
have
leaders
like
mr.
H
Warren
and
in
this
hole
at
the
head
of
at
the
head
of
their
respective
teams,
because
they're
working
so
closely
together
on
these
tough
issues
and
that's
the
only
way
we
can
make
progress
and
I
think
we're
already
standing
out
in
the
state
of
Florida
and
probably
nationally.
Because
of
that,
and
we
thank
you.

We
have
this
presentation-
or
this
commendation
morning
for
the
flavor
of
West
Tampa,
sangria
and
cigars,
presented
by
the
West
Tampa
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
be
held
this
Sunday,
but
what
is
it
12:00
to
3:00
11:00
to
4:00,
so
those
walking
and
folks
in
the
audience?
It's
a
great
event:
Tampa
City
Council
honors,
a
flavor
was
Tampa
sangria
and
cigars,
presented
by
the
West
Campus
cream
of
commerce.
B
This
is
West
Tampa
signature
event
that
brings
together
the
West
Tampa
community,
its
businesses
and
organizations
that
share
all
that
West
Tampa
has
to
offer,
with
attendees
from
throughout
the
greater
Tampa
Bay
area
and
beyond.
The
event,
brings
new
visitors
to
West
Tampa,
highlighting
the
community's
historic
roots
and
enhancing
West
Campus
image
as
a
great
place
to
live
work
and
play
the
portion.
B
The
proceeds
will
be
donated
to
the
judeo-christian
health
clinic,
which
has
served
our
community
for
over
40
years,
and
their
great
work
provides
low
and
moderate
income
individuals
with
critically
needed
medical
and
dental
care.
Tipp
City
Council
recognizes
your
compassion,
enterprising
endeavors
and
your
selfless
efforts
for
this
most
worthwhile
event
at
Julia,
Lane,
Park
correct.
It
is
with
great
pleasure
that
the
Tampa
City
Council
presents
you
with
this
commendation
on
the
seventh
day
of
November
2019.
E
Thank
You
widow
and
distinguished
City
Council
members,
we
on
behalf
of
the
West
amp
of
chamber
of
commerce.
We
truly
appreciate
the
Stampede
City
Council
commendation
just
a
bit
again
about
about
the
event.
It's
a
tribute
to
the
history
and
heritage
of
West
Ham
/,
which
is
rich
talking
about
culture
and
history,
as
well
as
the
West
camp
of
today.
So
it's
all
inclusive
of
everything
of
West
Tampa,
which
is
a
great
community
here
in
Tampa.
E
One
of
the
primary
reasons
we
as
a
Chamber
put
this
event
on
is
to
help
support
the
local
West,
Campus,
Chamber
nonprofit
organization
or
in
Westham
for
community
nonprofit
organization,
the
judeo-christian
health
clinic.
So
with
that
being
said,
lights
reduce
Kelli,
Bell
she's,
our
executive
director
of
the
judeo-christian
health
clinic
and
she'll,
give
you
a
few
words
about
the
clinic
again
hope
to
see
you
this
coming
Sunday
one
last
thing
before
I
forget:
if
Ike,
if
I
don't
do
this,
this
is
for
each
of
the
City
Council
members.
E
L
E
P
I
F
Apologies
to
all
of
you
at
the
event
and
to
all
from
what's
happened
off
from
City
Tampa,
but
I
will
be
unable
to
attend
the
state
of
Florida.
Sending
me
on
a
mission
to
a
place
called
Oxford
Florida
I
usually
go
to
Oxford
another
place
called
Gretna.
Anybody
know
where
the
rest
well.
I
may
never
come
back,
then.
F
L
C
Going
to
be
even
more
huge
being
at
the
Julian
B
Lane
Park
this
year,
I
will
be
there
Sunday
at
and
councilman
Miranda
I
am
I'm,
sorry
that
you
won't
be
there
because
I
understand
that
they're
going
to
be
having
the
dominoes
tournament
with
handicap
with
handicap.
So
you
might
have
a
chance
to
win
this
year.
F
F
A
It's
on
it's
on
anyone
else.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Next,
we
move
on
to
our
next
item.
I
would
invite
my
good
friend,
Miss,
Karen
and
clay
to
come
on
up.
If
you
would
Karen
I
mean
if
you
have
anybody
with
you
who
may
come
up,
I
think
most
of
us
I,
think
all
of
us
here
on
Tampa,
City,
Council,
know
Karen
clay
very
well.
A
K
You
so
much
good
morning
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today,
I'm
here
representing
the
democratic
disability
caucus
of
Florida,
as
well
as
our
Hillsborough
County
chapter,
but
first
and
foremost
I
am
a
mom
and
a
caregiver
I'd
like
to
start
off
with
just
one
quick
comment:
mr.
Dean
Felder,
this
is
regarding
any
straw
bans.
The
disability
caucus
opposes
any
all-out
bans
and
we
request
provision
upon
request.
K
More
importantly,
I'm
here
to
oppose
the
Medicaid
redesign.
It's
it's
not
a
Medicaid
redesign
at
all.
That's
a
very
disingenuous
term.
This
is
an
attack
on
Florida's,
most
vulnerable
citizens,
for
the
majority
of
Floridians.
Medicaid
is
a
lifeline.
It's
there
to
protect
in
case
of
an
economic
downturn,
a
natural
disaster
like
we
saw
in
the
Panhandle
this
past
year
and
for
individuals
with
disabilities.
A
Medicaid
Waiver
is
a
life.
It
enables
individuals
to
stay
in
their
homes
and
communities
leading
meaningful
productive
lives,
many
employ,
but
with
the
help
of
personal
care,
assistants,
job
coaches,
etc.
K
Medicaid
waivers
are
cost
effective.
They
cost
less
than
institutional
care
and
individuals
wouldn't
even
qualify
for
this
medicaid
waiver
unless
it
costs
less
than
institutional
care.
The
estimate
to
reopen
the
institutions
in
the
state
of
Florida
would
cost
approximately
3.4
billion
dollars
annually,
so
we're
actually
asking
the
state
actually
having
to
fight
with
the
state
to
save
money.
The
disability
community
knew
nothing
about
this
redesign.
It
came
about
as
an
amendment
during
conference,
yet
APD
and
akka
had
been
meeting
for
months
prior
to
this
amendment.
K
Now
everything
is
on
the
fast
track
and
we
were
never
invited
except
to
one
public
meeting
in
July
and
at
that
point
people
were
asked
to
make
comments
and
they
submitted
them.
An
APD
and
akka
tried
to
keep
that
out
of
the
public
realm.
The
population
that
we're
talking
about
is
the
most
vulnerable
of
the
vulnerable,
comprising
only
0.15
percent
of
our
total
population.
Here
in
Florida,
that's
thirty-four
thousand
five
hundred
individuals
that
are
receiving
services.
K
There
are
another
approximately
22,000
people
on
a
waiting
list
and
they're
not
waiting
just
for
weeks
or
months
or
years
but
decades
we
currently
ranked
50th
in
the
nation.
That's
what
I
passed
out
to
all
of
you
in
funding
and
advocates
the
APD
and
national
experts
have
tried
to
explain.
The
only
way
to
achieve
budget
predictability
is
to
build
in
an
will
increase,
and
yet
every
year
they
continue
to
balance
the
budget
on
the
backs
of
Florida's
most
vulnerable
citizens.
K
We
can
do
better.
My
only
question
to
you
is
Florida,
more
fiscally
bankrupt
or
morally
bankrupt,
so
I'm
asking
you
today
to
oppose
any
cuts
to
this
Medicaid
if
they
call
it
the
I
budget
or
home
and
community-based
service
waiver
and
I'm.
Also
asking
that
this
council
will
sign
on
to
an
organizational
letter
that
we've
prepared
for
the
governor
and
all
of
the
leadership
of
the
legislature,
so
that
they
know
that
the
citizens,
not
only
of
the
state
of
Florida,
are
opposed
to
any
cuts
to
this
waiver,
but
also
organizations
across
the
country.
A
Thank
you,
Karen
I
know
some
council
members
will
want
to
chime
in
I'll,
be
making
a
motion
on
that
at
the
end.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
I
know
this
cause
is
very
personal
to
us,
with
your
wonderful
son,
Mike
and
my
oldest
brother,
want
whose
development
say
disabled.
It's
something
that
I
I
saw.
A
A
We
know
where
that
money's
coming
from
and
I
always
say,
I've
said
this
a
million
times
and
I'll
say
here
that
whenever
it
comes
to
the
state
of
Florida,
we
have
the
population
from
California,
but
we
got
the
legislature
from
Mississippi
whenever
it
comes
to
issues
like
this,
and
it
makes
me
angry
and
make
us
all
angry
and
that's
what
we
should
demand
change.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Anyone
come
across
I.
D
A
M
General
thinking
free
leadership
on
this
issue,
as
always,
you
were
a
champion
of
those
with
disabilities
and
I've,
know
miss
clay,
a
while
I
know
her
fight
and
she's
always
been
a
fighter
on
these
issues.
Sometimes
you
have
to
experience
things
to
really
stand
them.
You
know,
I
have
sick
family
disabilities.
My
father,
you
know
so
I
understand
that
when
you
are
another
caregiver
people
understand
the
emotional
and
mental
strain
when
you
are
a
caregiver
of
a
child
or
adult.
M
A
K
K
A
D
D
There,
the
purpose
of
this
is
to
do
short
presentations
on
the
regional
context.
You
all
know
that
I
am
a
regionalists
I,
try
to
make
sure
that
we
coordinate
region-wide
on
issues
and
that
were
sensitive
of
regional
issues,
and
so,
since
we
had
conversations
on
water
a
couple
months
ago,
this
was
as
soon
as
when
you
get
on
the
schedule,
but
just
to
have
them
present
what
the
regional
perspective
is
on
water.
O
O
In
case
you
aren't
familiar
with
us,
we're
one
of
five
water
management
districts
in
the
state
of
Florida.
We
are
created
by
statute,
we
represent
16
counties,
all
are
part
of
16
counties
and
we're
one
of
the
big
three.
So
there
are
five,
but
there
are
three
quite
large
ones,
us
st.
John's
and
then
the
South
Florida
Water,
Management
District.
O
We
have
a
four
areas
of
responsibilities
shown
here:
water
supply,
water
quality,
natural
systems
and
flood
protection
and
as
part
of
our
water
supply
function.
One
of
the
big
things
that
we
do
is
regional
water
supply
planning.
So
this
requirement
of
us
is
defined
by
statute
every
five
years
we
do
have
to
develop
a
regional
water
supply
plan
that
looks
at
demands,
environmental
constraints,
strategies
to
meet
the
demands,
and
our
latest
update
is
actually
due
next
year.
It's
being
prepared
right
now.
O
So
this
is
a
bit
of
a
sneak
peek
at
what
we're
going
to
be
seeing
in
our
regional
water
supply
plan
update
for
demands.
This
graphic
is
just
for
the
public
supply
sector.
Only
we
do
develop
demand
projections
for
many
other
sectors,
including
agriculture,
industrial,
mining
and
so
forth,
but
this
is
just
for
public
supply
to
supply
through
utilities,
and
this
is
also
organized
by
region.
O
But
we
do
have
some
good
news.
This
graphic
kind
of
shows
the
success
we've
had
to
date.
So
this
this
graph,
those
blue
bars
our
groundwater
use.
The
Green
Line
is
population
growth
and
the
orange
line
is
total
water
use.
So
that
includes
other
supply
sources,
alternative
water
supply,
surface
water
and
so
forth.
You
can
see
that,
despite
the
fact
that
population
has
really
increased,
we
have
been
keeping
up
with
that
through
a
demand
reductions
and
that's
been
made
possible
by
conservation
efforts.
The
development
of
alternative
water
supply
and
also.
O
So
in
the
past
Tampa
Bay
water,
we
have
invested
315
million
dollars
and
the
sister
regional
water
supplies
authority
down
south
the
Peace
River
Manasota
regional
water
supply
Authority,
we've
invested
136
million
dollars
to
date
and
over
the
last
eight
years
on
average,
our
annual
cooperative
funding
initiative
budgeting
has
been
51
million
dollars
per
year.
We
expect
that,
in
order
to
meet
this
large
demand
projection
coming
over
the
next
20
years.
O
So
we
do
have
a
board
workshop,
scheduled
for
December
10th
at
our
Brooksville
office
at
9
a.m.
where
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
all
of
the
alternative
water.
Why
initiatives
that
are
being
implemented
across
our
region?
We're
going
to
be
doing
some
financial
projections
for
our
board
talking
about
our
financial
engine
and
what
they
can
expect
over
time.
So
that's
going
to
be
a
really
good
discussion
on
these
issues.
O
I'll
come
back
to
that.
So
this
is
a
slide
just
to
show
some
advantages
of
regionalism
that
we've
seen
in
terms
of
water
supply
development.
Another
one
that's
not
shown
here
is
integration
of
a
diverse
supply
sources
in
an
area
really
gives
the
ability
to
rotate
those
supplies
to
deal
with
climatic
changes,
environmental
changes
and
also
emergency
conditions.
So
we
get
a
economy
of
scale
cost-effectiveness.
O
So
I
mentioned
before
we
have
four
areas
of
responsibility.
Another
that
I
mentioned
is
flood
protection.
We've
had
some
really
significant
and
very
impactful
projects
with
the
city
of
Tampa
that
some
of
them
are
ongoing.
Over
the
last
five
years,
we've
had
11
projects
with
the
city,
totaling
33
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
district
funding.
Four
of
those
are
ongoing.
They're
shown
there
as
our
flood
protection
projects
really
significant
dollar
values
on
these
projects,
but
also
really
significant
positive
impact
on
the
citizens
of
Tampa.
O
So
in
fiscal
year,
21
applications
just
came
in
in
early
October.
Those
are
being
reviewed.
Now
we
do
have
three
requests
for
the
ongoing
projects.
To
finish,
those
and
also
a
new
project
is
being
proposed
by
the
city
of
Tampa,
an
additional
flood
protection
project.
Our
board
really
does
enjoy
on
funding
these
projects
because
they
really
do
make
a
significant
impact
to
the
citizens,
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
being
such
a
great
partner
to
us.
Thank.
N
N
N
In
just
a
brief
history
of
where
we
were,
we
started
back
in
1998,
the
sixth
member
of
governments.
After
two
years
of
negotiations,
we
were
created
in
1998
to
be
a
true
regional
system.
The
member
governments
included
the
counties
of
Hillsborough
Pasco
and
Pinellas,
along
with
the
cities
of
New
Port
Richey,
st.
Petersburg
in
the
city
of
Tampa.
N
N
And
you
can
see
this
slide
depicts
what
Tampa
Bay
water
is
today
back
in
1998,
we
were
an
idea.
We
were
giving
this
charge
to
build
a
true
regional
system.
Well,
that's
what
we
have
today
and
it
served
us
well.
Over
the
last
20
years
we
started
off.
We
were
100%
ground
water,
and
now
we
have
three
water
sources,
surface,
water
and
desalinated
seawater,
and
those
are
the
reasons
that
we
are
very
have
a
very
robust
system,
because
that
helps
us
along
there.
N
Our
reservoir
that
holds
fifteen
and
a
half
billion
gallons
of
water
to
get
through
the
dry
times
the
this
system
has
been
tested
throughout
the
years.
Most
recently
in
2017
we
went
to
a
record
dry
period
and
we
provided
all
the
water
needed
by
all
six
member
governments
and
that
didn't
have
any
problem.
N
N
All
right,
thank
you.
So
just
that's
just
shows
our
distribution.
We
continue
to
plan
for
the
region's
needs
for
through
our
long-term
national
water
plan.
It's
updated
every
five
years
and
we
the
board,
just
approve
that
update
in
December
of
18,
the
desalination
expansion
service,
water
expansion
and
additional
ground
water.
D
N
And
individually,
these
are
the
three
projects
that
we
plan
to
continue
to
vet
over
the
next
couple
of
years
to
make
sure
we're
picking
the
most
reliable,
cost-effective
and
sustainable
project
and
individually.
Each
of
these
projects
have
the
potential
for
being
expanded
to
provide
it,
provide
additional
water
in
the
future.
N
As
part
of
our
master
water
plan,
we
are
looking
at
regional
demand
management
as
well.
It's
not
just
about
building
these
supplies.
We
look
at
several
things.
One
of
those
is
demand
management.
What
can
we
do
through
conservation
to
save
the
resources
of
Florida
and
realize
this
through
conservation
measures?
We
have
a
new
program
working
with
each
member
government.
They
want
to
participate
to
be
able
to
help
fund
your
conservation
projects,
we
hope
to
save
over
11
million
gallons
between
now
and
2030.
N
We
also
are
looking
at
the
existing
system,
see
what
we
can
do
to
maximize
what
we
already
have.
You
need
bottlenecks
or,
for
example,
if
we
can
upgrade
our
filters
that
our
surface
water
treatment
plant,
then
we
can
get
more
capacity,
you're
spending
very
little
money.
Just
I
wanted
to
touch
a
little
bit
on
on
water
quality,
our
water
quality.
We
certainly
meet
all
the
state
and
federal
requirements.
We
also
have
requirements
under
what
we
call
Exhibit
D.
These
are
parameters
that
were
provided
by
approved
by
the
member
of
governments.
N
We
do
meet
those
and
we
monitor
those
and
report
to
the
board
and
the
member
governments.
We
are
going
through
a
process
to
look
at
our
water
quality
to
see
if
we
can
make
good
water
clock
to
even
better
so
we're
going
through
that
evaluation.
You
can
see
right
now
we're
the
early
stages
of
that
we're
concluding
this.
The
first
round
of
the
study
and
we'll
be
moving
forward,
working
and
continuing
to
work
with
all
the
member
governments
and
then
make
a
recommendation.
N
F
F
F
One
item
and
that's
when
you
advertise
and
I've
always
said:
why
do
you
have
to
spend
money
when
you
only
have
six
customers,
not
six
hundred
thousand
six
in
your
spa,
because
I'm
smiling
when
you
go
get
gas
at
the
gas
station?
Ask
yourself
this
question:
do
you
say
hi
I
got
dad
but
I
wonder
where
the
oil
came
from,
make
the
gas
you
do
raise
your
hand.
F
Why
do
we
have
to
do
that?
Where
you
got
to
spend
and
I
got
this
the
other
day
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Times,
which
is
very
nicely
done,
but
you
only
have
six
customers?
Why
do
you
have
to
advertise
yourself?
If
I
only
had
six
boats
or
get
you
think,
I'd
spend
fifty
sixty
seventy
thousand
dollars
get
elected?
Absolutely
not
so
what
I'm
trying
to
tell
you
is
yes
that
money
and
put
it
to
somebody
who
may
need
a
water
credit?
F
It
doesn't
have
the
money
just
like
Donatello
did
and
try
to
help
the
people
who
really
need
it,
and
all
of
us
forget-
and
some
of
us
remember-
that's
one
of
the
things
that
just
it's
under
my
skin
that
we're
spending
money
on
advertising.
Well,
we
don't
need
to
that's
my
opinion
and
and
by
the
way,
there's
been
opinion
of
one
not
of
the
other.
F
Eight
members,
I,
recall,
I'm,
humble
be
very
upfront,
so
I
look
at
those
things
and
then
the
good
people
from
Swift
my
brought
up
reclaim
water
I,
don't
want
to
get
into
a
debate
where
both
of
you
but
I'd
like
to
see
both
of
you
meet
with
the
city
of
Tampa.
It's
getting
to
the
point
that
I'm
seeing
what
came
about
when
we
saw
up
is
starting
to
come
around
again
when
it
was.
D
F
Swift
nuts,
not
Tampa
Bay
water,
when
it
was
West
Coast.
That
was
when
the
wars
were
all
between
governments
and
millions
and
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
were
thrown
away
of
public
funds.
Fighting
each
other
governments
fighting
another
governments
and
I-
certainly
don't
want
to
get
to
that
era,
but
there
is
a
possibility
that
that's
going
to
come
up,
whether
it's
by
government
or
by
people
who
do
that
I
have
a
problem
personally,
when
I
pay,
a
tax
and
I
cannot
get
that
direct
line,
whether
I
get
a
refund
or
not.
Doesn't
matter
that
I.
F
Who
is
never
elected
body
who
has
never
served
an
elected
body
to
get
their
permission
and
they
have
to
okay
it
to
send
it
up
the
Swift,
but
I
really
believe
in
taxation
and
representation
grow
one
in
hand
and
also
the
things
that
bother
me
as
an
individual.
That's
why
I
vote
consistently
against
that
I'm,
not
saying
I'm,
right,
I'm,
saying
that's
how
I
feel
I
guarantee
you
fast
the
public
behind
you
raise
your
hand,
then.
F
Even
even
they
didn't
even
know
that
and
I'm
not
saying
there's
anything
wrong,
but
I
gotta
compete
I'm,
meeting
the
city
of
Tampa.
We
have
to
compete
for
the
same
dollars
as
anyone
else.
We
have
to
compete
against
you're
in
a
t-shirt,
a
great
energy.
That's
a
big
water,
but
I
have
to
get
the
approval,
Tampa
Bay
water,
to
submit
to
Swift
mud
to
get
something
back,
if
not
better,
even
look
at
it.
That's
the
way,
I
think
the
system
works
and
I'm
just
blending
it
out
betting.
F
F
H
H
I
was
over
in
the
county
attorney's
office
at
that
time,
and
that's
not
the
way
government
should
operate
and
fighting
fighting
with
each
other
is
not
the
way
I
just
want
to
make
it
abundantly
clear
before
I
say
what
I
say
that
I
haven't
taken
a
position
on
the
on
the
reuse
issue
that
that's
been
going
on.
I
haven't
taken
a
formal,
a
formal
position
and
taking
one
today,
but
as
long
as
you're
here
and
Swift
mud
is
here
and
mr.
Baird
is
here,
I
do
I
do
have
I,
it
does
strike
me.
H
Curiously,
on
the
one
hand
the
district
says
we
need
to
do
two
to
identify
more
water
sources.
Nice
lady's
nodding
her
head
and
that's
obvious.
We
have
growth.
We
have
to
identify
the
water
sources
of
whether
or
not
that's
conservation
as
a
source.
It's
a
legitimate
source.
It's
worked
pretty
well
for
a
couple
years
or
or
other
means.
H
The
district
has
a
rule
that
says
that
if
we're
going
to
be
part
of
a
member
organization
like
we
are-
and
we
want
an
alternative
order,
supply
contribution
from
the
district,
we
need
to
get
sort
of
permission,
or
at
least
a
majority
of
votes
from
from
Tampa
Bay,
water
and
I
understand
this
past
year,
we've
had
a
little
trouble
with
that
as
Charlie
says,
I
won't
go
into
detail
about
it.
When
I
ask
you
to
mr.
Baird
and
his
team
over
many
many
years,
I
think
Brad
says
probably
25
years.
H
His
entire
career
with
the
city
have
always
looked
at
this
reuse
plan
to
ship
water
from
the
treatment
plant
back
up
to
the
reservoir
inject
it
what-have-you
and
reuse
it
in
that
way,
but
and
again
I'm
not
taking
sides
on
this.
Mr.
Karlson
I
just
want
to
flesh
it
out
a
little
bit
and
in
public,
but
we
hit
a
stumbling
point.
Mr.
Baird
hit
a
stumbling
point.
Mr.
Miranda
hit
a
stumbling
point
when
they
brought
that
to
your
group
of
six
government,
six
members
who
apparently
have
objections
to
it.
H
I'm
having
trouble
conceptually
with
that
not
on
the
legal
side.
I
can
handle
all
the
legal
arguments
all
day
long
but
I
don't
think
public
really
wants
to
get
wants.
Us
wants
us
to
get
into
those
legal
battles
again,
but
but
just
conceptually
I'm
having
trouble
with
why
any
member
governments
would
have
trouble
with
another
man
government
trying
to
find
a
future
water
use
like
that.
H
Understand
all
that,
but
but
I
guess
I
need
a
little
more
explanation
in
terms
of
the
justification
of
other
member
governments
and
I'm,
not
talking
about
legal
documents.
I
I'm,
a
lawyer
I,
can
handle
that.
But
I
don't
think
the
public
wants
that
that
to
be
the
decision
maker
I'm.
Talking
about
the
rationale,
the
justification
for
a
sister
member
government
across
the
bay
or
various
member
governments
in
your
organization
that
could
oppose
the
opportunity
for
I.
Don't
know
how
many
20
30
MGD
have
reused
and
whereas
there's
a
lot
of
reuse
going
on
all
over.
B
H
F
N
Yes,
sir
I
think
all
those
things
are
part
of
the
discussion,
and
you
know
back
a
few
years
ago.
Well,
we
we
were
asked
to
look
at
our
master
water
plan.
To
include
look,
can
we
include
reclaimed
as
part
of
a
master
water
plan
and
so
through
our
member
government
working
group
with
all
member
government
staff?
N
Well,
that's
precisely
what
we're
doing
looking
with
the
the
sharp
project
is
still
one
of
the
three
projects
that
was
ranked,
and
we
are
currently
vetting
that,
along
with
the
other
two
projects
to
see
where
that
takes
us,
but
there
certainly
some
promise
there
and
it
looks
like
it.
Contentiously
be
a
good
project.
We
still
have
to
finalize
some
agreements
with
Hillsborough
County,
but
that's
part
of
the
process
we
have
moving
forward.
So
we
are
looking.
We
looked
at
both
of
those
we're
continuing
to
look
at
sharp.
A
Me
in
if
I'm
a
councilman,
Dean
filter,
we
have
a
tenant
cloth
to
break
for
staff
report,
so
we
have
an
abundant
amount
of
staff
reports.
Simon
asked
this
to
end
in
about
two
or
three
minutes.
If
you
all
could
or
if
you
want
to
take
it
up
after
staff
reports,
that's
fine,
but
let's
at
least
intervene
right
now
and
if
you
want
to,
if
you
want
to
well.
H
I'll,
just
close
by
saying
I
know:
we've
pulled
out
of
that
temporarily,
but
I
think
it
was
more
or
less
out
of
frustration
than
anything
else
and
we
don't.
Hopefully
you
know
we
don't
want
to
litigate
it
or
anything
like
that,
but
I
just
hope.
It
and
I'm
saying
this
to
all
the
member
governments,
including
our
own,
that
I
hope
we
can
perhaps
hire
mediator
and
come
to
some
resolution
because
we
obviously
aren't
doing
very
well
so
far
and
now
I
appreciate
mr.
H
Carlson's
effort,
actually
that,
from
this
counsels
perspective
to
table
this
for
a
while
because
it
looked
like
we
were
sort
of
dashing,
you
know
dashing
into
it
and
and
running
our
head
into
the
wall
on
on
the
issue
and
including
count
from
counsels
perspective.
So
so
I
do
appreciate
Bill
you
doing
that.
So
we
have
a
little
time
to
breathe,
but
this
issue
will
come
back
probably
next
year
and
I
just
think
we
need
to
do
a
better
job.
But
thank
you,
sir.
If.
N
N
M
M
So
mr.
Miranda
tells
me
we're
seeing
this
kind
of
money.
You're
companies
for
this
kind
of
money
in
everything,
I'm
gonna,
who
we
advertise
to
do
well,
I
mean
that
just
makes
me
wonder
who
knows
about
what
you
do
who
knows
about?
Is
there
a
board
as
Kamala
all
these
entities
with
I
West
with
you
guys
me?
It's
like
everyone's
a
free-for-all
with
what
we're
doing
so
I'm
just
curious.
How
how
does
it?
How
does
it
operate?
Yes,.
N
D
A
statement
in
a
quick
question
for
MS
rice,
if
I
could
with
a
quick
answer,
but
the
we
can
discuss
this
as
as
the
as
the
tap
issue
comes
up
again.
My
intention
today
was
not
to
open
back
up
tap
but,
as
he
mentioned,
tap
was
part
of
the
alternatives
for
the
master
water
plan
for
future
sources
and
the
city
of
Tampa
pulled
out
and
wanted
to
do
it
themselves.
The
intent,
the
intent
of
the
region
was
that
new
sources
would
be
managed
by
the
regional
supplier
in
Tampa.
D
Bay
water
can
own
the
project
we
wouldn't
have
to
take
on
the
debt
and
they
can.
They
can
manage
it
and
run
it.
It
could
be
a
similar
project,
but
the
city
of
Tampa
wouldn't
have
to
take
that
on
and
it
would
stay
within
the
spirit
of
regional
cooperation
instead
of
Tampa
doing
itself.
My
question
to
you
is
missus:
could
you
just
describe
you
know
a
few
seconds?
Why
it's
important
to
take
a
regional
perspective
and,
and
and
just
describe
you
know,
we
do
have
a
30-year
plan
for
water,
so
we
don't
have
any
urgent.
O
As
a
priority,
since
our
funding
initiative
program
was
started
back
in
the
eighties,
so
this
has
been
a
really
big
focus
for
us.
Some
significant
benefits
are
with
planning,
so
you
have
the
entire
state
of
Florida,
and
then
you
have
five
water
management
districts
so
that
the
legislature
is
not
telling
our
region
how
to
spend
that
money.
You
bring
it
down
to
a
local
level,
and
then
these
regional
water
supply
authorities
bring
it
down
one
more
step
without
the
regional
water
supply
authorities,
each
of
those
11
well
fields,
that's
under
one
cooperative,
one
I.
O
Last
a
few
word
because
we
got
into
one
absolutely
thank
you
me
every
single
one
of
the
supplies
under
Tampa
Bay
water,
it's
a
very
diverse
set
of
supplies-
would
be
individually
permitted
by
individual
entities.
This
is
it
gives
the
ability
for
this
body
of
six
member
of
governments
to
get
together
and
have
much
more
control
and
not
have
the
water
management
district
dictating.
So
it's
it's
putting
the
authority
and
the
decision-making
at
the
right
level,
and
it
helps
with
the
planning
effort.
Thank.
A
You
ma'am
anything
else
to
close
councilman.
Okay.
Thank
you
guys
very
much.
Thank
you!
Everybody!
Okay,
next
move,
I
know:
Councilman
Carlson
pulled
this
item.
I
see
some
folks
from
police,
Tampa,
Police,
Department
I'd
like
to
have
them
come
up.
First,
if
you
guys
could
I
know
you
all
are
very,
very
busy
and
for
staff
reports,
I
we're
limiting
staff
reports
to
five
minutes
each
and
we
have
a
lot
of
staff
reports
and
I.
A
Think
everybody
wanted
staff
to
appear
for
this
and
I'm
gonna
I
have
no
problem
with
staff
reports
for
just
reports
with
staff
appear
and
we're
gonna
have
to
start
to
having
a
more
restrained,
I
guess,
maybe
five
six
per
council
session
so
because
today
we
got
a
whole
lot,
but
let's,
if
you
could
just
calendar
each
please
for
five
minutes,
I
appreciate
it
councilman.
If
you
want
to
ask
your
questions,
sir.
L
Okay
sure
so
we're
basically
using
our
unmanned
aircraft
systems
as
a
way
to
supplement
our
helicopters
under
the
auspices
of
the
freedom
from
unwanted
surveillance
act,
which
is
for
two
statute:
nine
34.50.
Now
that
statute
actually
prohibits
us
from
using
drones
for
evidence,
gathering
or
surveillance
or
really
any
kind
of
gathering
of
information.
Unless
certain
criteria
are
met
such
as
we
have
a
search
warrant,
we
have
a
suspect
who
is
fleeing
actively.
We
have
a
missing
person,
we're
looking
for
or
forensic
ly
mapping
a
traffic
crash
scene
or
something
like
that.
L
D
Of
the
piece
of
feedback
I
got
in
and
I,
don't
know
anything
about
the
subject.
So
I
appreciate
your
education
on
it,
but
some
folks
said
that
there's
an
exception
for
potential
terrorist
targets
and
I
think
the
the
Arab
or
Muslim
community
and
some
other
communities,
maybe
a
worried
about
surveillance
under
the
auspices
of
that

that
is
that
accurate

So

thanks
I
was
talking
to
the
chief
yesterday
about
about
this
item,
not
only
from
a
security
perspective
or
privacy
perspective,
but
also
from
a
monetary
perspective.
As
a
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
I
said,
though,
that's
one
expensive
drone,
and
then
he
didn't.
He
informed
me
or
reminding
me
said
it
might
be,
for
drones.
L
L
L
H
That
be
it
I
guess.
My
point
is
this:
could
it
be
in
a
form
of
a
summary?
Obviously
we
don't
need
or
want
to
see
the
details
about
the
address
your
you
know.
You
might
be
doing
it
or
something
like
that,
but
just
in
general
form,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
staying
on
top
of
the
statute
I
wouldn't
see
any
reason
why
not?
Okay
I'll
make
a
motion
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
along
those
lines.
Thank
you.
A
M
Guess
my
question
is
that
will
the
public
before
we
learn
access?
Will
the
public
be
aware
that
we're
going
to
be
utilizing
these
type
of
drones?
It
calls
whoa
I
see
something
in
the
air,
so
are
there
would
be
any
PSAs
or
any
type
of
communication
to
the
public
that
this
is
going
to
be
happening
within
city
Tim
I?
Would.
L
M
A
Anyone
else,
thank
you,
sir.
We
really
appreciate
you
all
aren't
here
for
any
other
items:
correct
I'm,
not
okay!
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
We
really
appreciate
your
Thank
You
Man.
Thank
you
guys.
Okay,
next,
we
move
onward
to
our
and
to
let
the
public
know
the
four
staff
reports
we
usually
break
at
10
a.m.
more
or
less
my
home
in
Oh,
10
a.m.
for
staff
reports,
and
that
will
then
push
back
the
perspective
time
for
public
comment.
A
Usually
we
can
begin
public
comment
at
around
9:30,
five
or
9:40,
so
we
can
get
most
of
it
done
by
the
time
of
staff
reports,
but
unfortunately,
today
with
our
agenda,
we
can't
do
that,
so
my
apologies,
but
public
comment
will
be
forthcoming
in
that
regard.
Okay.
Next,
we
move
to
item
number
96
for
Angus
gospel
and
Bal
de
marrón
Lopez
pool,
and
each
of
these
will
be
five

A
M
Q
Morning,
Paul
dial,
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation
I've,
been
asked
to
come
before
you
to
discuss
the
future
plans
at
drangus,
gospel
and
Baldomero
lopez
pool
in
the
city
of
tampa.
We
have
provided
a
report
to
you
several
months
ago
was
provided
to
you
and
just
a
brief
history
of
that.
It
does
provide
a
history
of
both
of
the
swimming
pools
that
were
there
they've
both
been
closed
for
for
many
years,
as
well
as
describing
the
deficiencies
at
each
of
the
pools
at
those
locations.
Q
We
have
also
provided
some
national
standards
showing
the
standards
for
the
amount
of
pools
for
population
across
the
country
and
by
the
National
Recreation
Parks
Association.
The
standard
looked
at
is
one
pool
for
every
36,000
people.
Tampa
is
about
one
for
every
32,000
people,
so
we're
a
bit
ahead
of
the
national
standard,
and
it
shows
those
standards
in
Florida
and
with
populations
of
cities
of
250,000
to
500,000
and
in
that
the
250
to
500
thousand.
It's
about
64
thousand
people
for
pools,
so
we're
well
ahead
of
those
numbers.
Q
We
also
provided
some
numbers
related
to
attendance
and
the
12
pool
locations
or
the
proximity
of
those
pools
to
the
community.
I
did
want
to
say
that,
since
we
talked
about
this
before
there
was
dollars
put
into
the
budget
for
a
study
related
to
the
two
pools.
This
has
evolved
over
the
time
over
the
last
few
months
and
with
the
mayor
approving
the
funding
for
the
comprehensive
Park,
Parks
and
Recreation
master
plan.
Q
Part
of
that
process
will
be
that
these
pools
will
be
included
and
developing
the
scope
so
that
this
is
part
of
the
plan
that
we're
not
doing
it
separately.
It
really
needs
to
be
combined
together
and
married
because
it's
all
one
park
system,
one
group
of
facilities,
so
that
is
part
of
the
master
plan
process
that
is
going
to
be
going
on
next
year.
We're
working
on
consultant,
hopefully
coming
in
early
and
in
2020
being
selected.
If
you've
noted,
we
had
the
master
plan
meetings
that
have
actually
started.
Q
H
F
H
There
and
still
functional-
and
the
only
reason,
I
point
it
out,
is
when
I
picture.
In
my
mind
what
that
pool
looks
like
I
think
it
was
in
the
same
family
of
generation
of
pools
as
the
das
and
in
the
Albemarle
a
pool,
because
you
know
I
visualize,
that
it's
above-ground
kind
of
I
mean
not
above
ground,
but
it's
it's
rate.
You
know
it's
higher.
It
has
a
lot
of
the
attributes
that
we
criticize
these
two
pools.
H
I
know
it's
water
under
the
bridge,
I
think
one
of
the
deficiencies
now
with
those
two
pools,
as
they're
filled
with
dirt.
That
didn't
get
mentioned
in
your
list
of
deficiencies,
but
anyway,
I
think
some
mistakes
were
made
in
the
past.
I
think
we
need
to
move
forward
with
the
master
plan.
I
hope
that
will
include
recreational
pools
for
these
communities
in
some
sense.
So
thank
you.
Q
Has
that
will
be
part
of
the
process
that
will
be
part
of
what
we'll
be
looking
at
within
the
study
of
the
cost
related
to
the
two
sites
and
again
that
will
be
and
into
the
scope
for
the
consultant,
but
no
cost
at
this
time,
because
we
also
don't
have
the
scope
of
the
project.
So
you
need
the
scope
to
do
exactly
what
you're
looking
at
for
what
facilities
are
needed
by
the
community
before
that
cost?
Is
it's
charming.
A
Q
D
A
K
You
chair
good
morning,
City
Council,
Jeanne,
Duncan
transportation
in
stillwater,
Services
Department.
You
would
ask
for
some
information
regarding
our
Rick
streets
and
I
submitted
a
report
which
you
should
have
in
your
packet
there.
The
question
had
to
do
with
our
pipes,
projects
that
are
coming
along,
which
will
be,
of
course
tearing
up
many
of
our
streets
in
order
to
put
in
new
water
or
wastewater
lines,
potentially
some
stormwater
components
as
well.
So
we
will
continue
to
follow
our
city
code
and
our
protocol
of
protecting
our
vitrified
brick
streets
in
our
historic
areas.
K
Any
streets
that
are
asphalt,
brick
or
asphalt
it
over.
Those
will
not
be
restored
to
any
sort
of
brick
condition
and
and
will
continue
to
process,
as
we
have
been
I
just
do
want
to
say
that,
with
the
pipes
of
projects
coming
out,
none
of
those
project
areas
will
be
within
our
historic
district
area
for
at
least
a
couple
of
years.
K
So
there
certainly
is
some
time
to
continue
to
look
at
brick
versus
asphalt
and
if
there's
any
you
know
adjustments,
we
would
want
to
make
there's
time
to
do
that.
But
for
now
we're
going
to
continue
on
the
same
code
and
protocols
we
have
as
we
undertake
those
types
of
projects
in
the
city
of
Tampa.
Thank.
D
Just
this
is
an
issue,
of
course,
a
big
concern
in
my
district,
especially
in
the
High
Park
area
and
they're
very
concerned
about
not
losing
the
bricks
and
so
I'll
follow
up
with
you
later
I
think
we
probably
have
to
bring
this
up
in
another
way,
but
I'd
I'd
like
to
see
any
proposals
you
might
have
on
ordinances
that
we
can
put
in
to
protect
the
bricks.
But
one
question
I
was
asked:
is
that
some
other
cities
have
a
piece
of
equipment
that
can
extract
the
the
asphalt
from
bricks.
D
K
Do
don't
have
that
equipment?
We
are
aware
of
it
and
it
is
expensive.
We
also
have
a
really
good
brick
contractor
who
his
experience
is
demonstrating
that
a
lot
of
times,
if
some
of
these
bricks
can
be
extracted
and
stored,
that
within
a
certain
period
of
time
that
asphalt
cracks
and
falls
off,
naturally
from
the
bricks,
and
so
we
are
really
interested
in
exploring
what
are
some
other
things.
We
could
do
to
restore
the
bricks
that
we
do
have
and
we
utilize
them.
D
K
K
H
H
K
That
could
be
the
case.
The
problem
we
have
seen
in
exploring
the
realization
of
those
bricks
is
it's
very
difficult
to
extract
them
out
with
the
machines
that
we
have
to
use
without
destroying
some
certain
percentage
of
those
bricks.
So
it's
a
difficult
process
to
it
would
be
very
labor-intensive
to
extract
them
out
without
damaging
them
in
the
process,
with
current
practices
that
we
use
so
are
the
the
protocol
has
been
if
it's
asphalted
over
and
those
bricks
have
settled
and
they're
way
down
in
the
base
of
the
road.
H
And
I'm
not
suggesting
the
restoration
I
can
see
where
that
would
be
very
expensive
to
scrape
off
or
chemically
dissolve
that
asphalt
from
the
top
of
the
brick.
But
but
that's
why
it
leads
to
my
question
of
just
flipping
it
over
and
using
using
the
other
side,
the
Brad
Brad
and
his
team
I.
Guess
they
left,
but
you
know
they're
gonna
be
digging
up
the
entire
street.
H
D
H
K
K
H
Mm-Hmm,
so
so
for
future
reference,
I
think
that's
important.
So
we
know
okay,
it
might
be
an
additional
investment,
but,
as
you
know-
and
you
advocate
brick
streets
or
a
traffic
calming
yes,
which
is
which
is
really
kind
of
nice,
so
we
don't
have
to
put
in
speed
bumps
and
have
constant
complaints.
My
street
is
a
brick
street.
It's
always
been
a
brick
Street.
H
It's
got
a
park
at
the
end
of
it,
but
people
tend
to
drive
a
lot
slower
because
they
don't
want
to
rattle
their
car
to
death
on
the
brick
street,
which
is
fine
with
me.
The
only
other
thing
I
want
to
say
mr.
chairman
I,
appreciated
time
constraint
is
in
regard
to
this
notion
that
this
isn't
just
a
historic
district
issue.
There
is
streets
all
over
town
that
got
paved
over,
that
lost
their
brick
streets
in
Palma,
Ceia
and
and
I'm
sure,
Seminole,
Heights
and
other
places
that
are
not
strictly
designated
historic
districts.
A
C
H
C
H
B
R
City
had
the
option
to
outright
ban
them,
but
once
a
city
or
county
decided
not
to
ban
them,
as
the
city
of
Tampa
did
back
in
2017
again,
the
only
locational
requirement
was
the
500
feet,
distance
from
a
school
which,
in
the
case
of
dispensaries,
the
city
can
waive
pursuant
to
a
special
use
permit
process.
The
statute
also
expressly
states
that
you
can't
have
any
limitations
on
their
location,
that's
more
stringent
than
what
would
be
allowed
for
a
pharmacy.
R
R
C
C
C
You
can't
come
to
tell
us
where
or
where
we
cannot
put
these
grow
houses
and
dispensaries.
I
personally
would
not
like
to
see
them
in
in
neighborhoods.
People
have
the
right.
Excuse
me:
if
recreational
marijuana
passes,
they
will
have
the
right
to
smoke.
Marijuana,
that's
not
for
me
to
say,
but
where
these
grow
houses
and
where
these
dispensaries
are
located.
Yes,
I
can
have
a
voice
in
that.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
Tallahassee
is
tying
your
hands,
not
ours.
We're
unable
to
listen
to
you.
B
M
Your
sickens
me,
it
sickens
me
that
we
have
no
power
to
stop
this
type
of
facility
from
being
in
neighborhoods,
especially
neighborhoods
that
are
already
under
stress.
It
really
angers
me
and
I.
Don't
know
what
other
people
were.
Cities
are
doing,
but
apparently
doing
some
because
they're
not
allowing
it
now.
I
know
the
city
might
said
we
don't
want
to
get
into
a
litigation
situation,
but
I
printed
those
other
cities.
They
don't
care
about
that
process.
They
don't
care
about
a
litigation
process
because
obviously
no
one
to
start
to
litigate
against
him.
M
I,
don't
like
to
be
a
person
who
runs
from
a
situation
and
I.
Don't
want
our
legal
department
to
feel
that
if
we
do
not
do
nothing
or
if
we
do
something
we're
gonna
get
sued,
we
get
sued
every
day
and
city.
Does
it,
but
I'm
really
disheartened
that
we
can't
even
put
an
ordinance
in
place
to
say
it
needs
to
be
on
an
Oakland
highway?
M
We
can't
put
orders
in
there
as
it
says
it
needs
to
be
away
from
residential
people.
People
can
small
matter,
I.
Don't
care
about
that!
My
thing
is
putting
something
like
that
community
and
if
we
can't
do
it,
I
think
I'm
probably
gonna
make
a
motion
the
end.
We
get
some
kind
of
resolution
to
send
to
Tallahassee
and
hope
the
council
will
support
me
on
that,
because
I
just
think
it's
wrong
that
that
mrs.
M
B
E
B
E
Approximately
a
year
ago,
the
benches
were
removed,
and
but
I'm
here
to
talk
about
what
what's
what's
going
to
happen
with
the
park.
Now,
what
we're
looking
at
it's
a
positive
I
think
that
we're
tampered
developing
into
a
world-class
City.
This
is
going
to
be
like
a
world-class
amenities.
Long
as
along
with
some
other
things,
you
know
in
the
future.
E
The
goal
right
now
through
the
mayor
is
to
renovate
and
activate
all
the
parks
in
the
city,
but
the
goal
here
is
to
make
the
park
a
key
downtown
economic
asset
and
become
and
become
known
as
downtown
Tampa's,
Town
Square.
So
what
we're
looking
at
right
now-
and
it's
still
in
the
early
stages
of
development-
is
that
we're
going
to
allow
the
Downtown
Partnership
to
put
a
cafe
in
in
The
Gaslight
Park
along
with
seating,
and
try
to
regenerate
that
that
area.
So
like
I,
say,
the
talks
are
still
ongoing.
E
E
A
D
I
think
we
have
it's
I've,
got
flooded
with
emails
and
calls
since
mr.
Ferriero
story
he
came
in
and
I
think
we
have
several
people
who
want
to
speak
on
this
in
public
comment.
But
the
problem
with
this
now
is
that
the
last
mayor
politicized
this
Park
and
he
through
his
actions.
He
showed
that
he
didn't
like
homeless
people
and
he
didn't
care
about
poor
people
and
now
because
this
Park
is
politicized,
whatever
good
ideas
might
come
out.
D
The
problem
is
that
the
community
sees
it
as
a
symbol
of
his
disdain
toward
homeless
people,
and
so
somehow
we
have
to
resolve
that
issue
and
and
then
maybe
come
back
to
discussing
what
could
be
done
with
this
particular
part.
But
we've
got
to
address,
you
know,
sensitivity
and
compassion
for
homeless
people
and
poor
people
in
the
city,
as
I
presented
a
couple
weeks
ago.
D
The
number
one
issue
we're
facing
is
the
high
poverty
rate
in
our
city,
which
didn't
get
any
better
and
I
think
even
got
worse
in
the
last
eight
years,
and
we've
got
a
we've
got
to
really
focus
on
this
and
and
the
pictures
look
beautiful,
I've
been
in
some
of
the
parks
you're
talking
about
and
I
see
that
in
those
parks
like
Bryant,
Park
and
others,
there's
public
access
and
there's
not
just
seating
for
for
cafe
owners,
but
somehow
we've
got
to
address
this
issue
because
the
community
is
very
upset
about
it.
Thank
you.
B
During
one
of
the
college
championship
games
that
were
feeding,
some
groups
were
feeding
individuals
in
the
park
and
they
were
arrested
and
a
video
went
viral.
We
were
getting
emails
from
I,
don't
know,
answer
damn
hall
and
parts
of
Europe
that
we're
criticizing
us
for
the
arrest
of
these
individuals
that
were
feeding
those
in
need
and
I
remember
having
to
amend
the
ordinance
where
you
can
have
so
many
number
of
individuals
in
a
part
without
having
to
pull
the
permit
and
whatnot,
and
my
quote
in
the
paper
was
in
The
Times.
B
We
need
more
love
and
compassion,
and
the
response
to
that
was
later
on
a
year
ago,
removing
the
the
benches
from
the
park
for
renovation
and
then
they
couldn't
be
renovated.
I,
don't
understand,
you
know:
I
I
can't
go
to
church
on
Sunday
and
call
myself
a
Christian
and
and
allow
this.
This
nonsense
to
go
on.
B
You
know
we're
human
beings.
We
need
to
treat
each
other
like
human
beings
and
we
don't
see
that
I'm
not
blaming
you
and
not
blaming
one
in
particular,
but
we
need
to
do
better
as
a
society.
What
I
heard
the
other
day
was?
We
forget
that
we
are
brothers
and
sisters
in
love
not
in
Christ
and
love.
Just
in
that-
and
you
know
so,
many
of
us
are
one
step
away
from
homelessness,
House
lessness
losing
our
job.
B
You
know
not
being
able
to
make
that
rent
whatever
it
is,
and
we
just
need
to
treat
each
other
better
as
human
beings
and
something
as
simple
as
sitting
in
the
shade,
because
it's
hot
it's
hot,
even
in
the
shade,
it's
hot
you
know,
I've
met
so
many
individuals
that,
like
Scouts
like
Park
all
throughout
and
you
ask
them,
how
did
you
get
here?
What
is
your
story?
B
What
happened
and
the
stories
that
you
hear
they
break
your
heart
and
then,
when
it
happens
to
somebody
that
you
know
and
I
learned
a
lot
through
the
Great
Recession,
because
we
were,
we
were
seeing
people
losing
their
jobs
losing
their
homes.
So
many
bad
things
and
people
are
finally
ten
years
later
getting
back
on
their
feet.
You
know
going
back
to
it.
We
need
to
do
better
as
people
and
as
a
society
and
treat
one
another
with
better
respect
and
when
I
saw
the
benches
being
pulled
up
and
replaced
with
flowerpots
I
go.
B
This
is
a
park.
What,
if
I
want
to
go
there
have
a
which,
on
my
lunch,
break
or
whatever
it
is
and
enjoy
the
part
you
know,
but
then
there's
people
that
they
have
nowhere
to
go
and
all
they
do
is
get
shuffled
around
and
that's
it,
and
you
know
we
forget,
we
forget
what
it
means
to
be
a
you
know:
a
decent,
decent
person
when
we
treat
you
know
people
in
this
manner.
That's
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
Know
sometimes
we
sugarcoat
things
instead
of
just
telling
the
truth
about
how
things
really
are.
You
know
my
friend
Sal
we've
worked
together
before
he
knows
about
homeless
people.
He
had
sometimes
had
to
put
people
out
of
apartment,
so
they
become
homeless
right
there
because
they
can't
pay
their
rent.
M
So
again,
it
goes
back
to
experience
understanding
how
people
feel
you
know
a
part
confessed
me
I've
been
talking
about
Park
since
I've
been
here.
Mr.
Miranda
brought
it
up
clear
as
day
parks
are
the
livelihood
of
communities
and
people,
that's
where
they
go
just
to
think
and
meditate,
sometimes
to
be
healthy
to
get
healthy.
We
have
a
homeless
situation.
M
You
know,
I'm
fortunate
I,
gentlemen
came
to
see
me
last
week
who
has
an
idea
about
a
homeless
situation,
how
we
can
help
those
mothers
who
don't
have
a
place
and
they
got
the
children
in
the
car
all
night
long
an
officer
comes
up,
so
you
got
to
move
along
gotta
move
along.
You
can't
be
here
or
a
older
gentleman
who's
homeless.
In
a
car
somewhere
in
the
city
you
got
to
move
along
with.
This
gentleman
came
up
with
a
good
concept,
but
I'm,
probably
gonna,
have
him
come
and
share
what
I
call
it.
M
My
colleagues
here
and
a
couple
of
weeks,
so
the
community
and
the
people
can
see
this
idea
where
you
have
mothers
who
all
night
long
with
these
kids
and
they
go
to
McDonald's,
to
bathe
them
and
get
them
ready
for
school
in
the
morning.
So
I've
seen
that
I've
seen
its
heart,
I
just
heart-wrenching,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
if
we're
talking
about
a
concept
for
this
park
and
I
get
missed,
mr.
chairman
was
able
to
get
that
$4,000.
Just
to
get
this
conversation
going.
M
Where
is
it
gonna
come
from
he's
come
from
the
general
fund
to
fix
this
park?
Is
it
coming
from
the
CRA
dollars
to
fix
this
part?
Does
it
come
from
public
dollars
to
fix?
It?
Is
the
Downtown
Partnership
we'll
have
control
of
this
Parker
would
still
be
operated
under
the
city
temple
and
not
by
the
partnership,
because
I
got
several
calls
on
on
that
saying.
M
What
will
the
partnership
be
control
of
this
because
they
feel
the
partisan
controlled
and
we
we
may
again
have
a
a
disdain
for
homeless
people
or
poor
people
being
in
that
Park?
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
we
look
at
all
those
aspects
that
anybody
can
go
that
Park
to
get
some
of
you
they're
homeless
or
not.
They
may
look
terrible,
but
if
they
got
money
to
pay
something
get
some
you
don't
want,
make
sure
you,
no
one's
turned
away
or
forced
not
to
be
in
the
park.
M
H
You,
mr.
chairman
I
love
the
passion
of
my
fellow
councilmen,
all
three
of
you
in
regard
to
this
issue.
I
think
I
agree
with
you
completely,
especially
mr.
Maniscalco,
in
regard
to
the
judeo-christian
values
that
we
all
assert
on
the
weekends
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
asserted
on
the
weekdays
as
well.
H
Couple
of
things
number
one
is
I
think
we
you
know
if,
if
we're
worried
about
people
sleeping
on
the
benches,
obviously
I
think
in
this
city
and
many
other
cities
we've,
there
are
benches
with
that,
have
barriers
or
little
humps
to
keep
people
from
sleeping
on
the
benches
and
yet
still
allow
the
benches
to
be
functional
for
sitting.
So
if
that
was
the
problem
before
then
I
think
we
should
return
the
benches
to
the
park,
but
make
sure
that
they're,
you
know
they're
not
for
sleeping.
A
H
H
H
H
Park,
thank
you,
a
massive
part
where
you
have
a
next-door
neighbor
who
wants
to
do
a
restaurant
to
activate
the
park
that
would
help
with
the
homeless
situation.
It's
the
exact
same
situation,
and
yet
she
doesn't
seem
to
be
getting
a
whole
lot
of
traction
or
cooperation
with
the
city
and
I.
Don't
see
a
whole
lot
of
difference
between
what
she
wants
to
do
and
what
the
Downtown
Partnership
and
in
the
parks
department
is
looking
at.
E
R
Just
wanted
to
respond,
there
was
a
meeting
the
other
night
with
the
downtown
citizens
advisory
committee
with
the
people
who
want
to
develop
a
cafe
at
Herman,
Massey
Park,
and
there
have
been
ongoing
discussions
and
the
administration
has
met
with
them
as
well.
So
it's
not
accurate
to
say
that
the
city
is
in
any
way
rejecting
it
or
trying
to
stymie
it.
The
city
is
in
fact
working
with
them
now
and
we
will
be
coming
back
to
you
with
a
report
at
your
CRA
meeting
on
that
Park.
The
Herman
Massey
Park
on
December
14th
I.
H
F
A
A
Commercial
is
just
something
that
I'm
very
suspicious
of
even
on
the
level
like
this
I
am
there's
a
lot
to
be
looked
at
in
this
there's
a
lot
of
different
discussions
and
dialogues
to
be
had,
but
if
we're
talking
religious,
you
can
call
me
a
doubting
Thomas
right
now.
So
let's
put
it
that
way.
So
there
you
go.
Thank
you
very
much,
sir.
We
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Okay,
we're
almost
finished
with
this.
We
are
at
number
104
with
Miss
Curt
and
a
105,
and
then
oh.
A
G
G
Was
the
citizen
had
come
down
and
had
complaints
about
it,
demolitions
to
which
they
had
no
notice
of
and
and
that
there
were
also
reports
that
there
were
dust
and
debris
and
that
there
were
probably
code
violations
going
on
with
that
demolition.
I
believe
councilman
boots
also
testified
that
he
was
out
there
and
verified
that
and
had
some
issues
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
bring
that
into
enforcement.
There
was
an
initial
report
and
the
follow
up
from
that
report
was
a
request
to
create
an
ordinance
notifying
citizens
of
the
demolition.
H
Appreciate
your
new
research
I,
don't
question
it
at
all.
It
was
very
thorough.
The
my
question,
though,
is
right
now,
obviously
you
have
to.
If
you
were
going
to
demolish
anything,
you
have
to
go
down
and
pull
a
city
permit
I,
don't
know
if
that's
pursuant
to
state
statute
or
pursuant
to
city
code
or
both
but
I,
guess
on
a
very
simplified
basis
that
we
extrapolated
that
process,
which
I
know
already
exists.
H
You
have
to
go,
get
a
permit
and
we
said,
and
by
the
way
you
would
need
to
post
that
on
the
front
of
the
property
as
as
sort
of
a
friendly
little
amendment
or
addition
to
the
current
requirement,
I
wonder
if
that
would
trigger
the
statute
that
you
referenced,
sir,
the
building
code,
you
know
and
obviously
that
other
process
sounds
very
complicated
and
cumbersome
in
terms
of
an
interlocal
agreements
and
everything
else.
Councilman.
G
F
H
G
M
Thank
you,
Miss
Kirk,
for
your
your
work.
I
always
say,
don't
say
what
we
can
do,
look
at
what
we
can
do
and
if
something
that
we
can
do,
I
want
to
go
forward
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
put
something,
because
it
was
a
concern
that
wasn't.
The
only
house
I
witnessed
I
was
in
a
couple
houses
being
done.
That
way
and
I
just
think.
The
public
needs
to
be
aware
that
something's
going
on,
especially
you,
have
childcare
centers
around
these
facilities,
and
this
does
the
kids
are
out
playing.
M
Kids
have
asthma,
have
all
kind
of
allergies
in
this
stitch
from
some
of
these
homes,
a
lot
of
our
old
abandoned.
Now
let
paint
bit
houses
a
lot
of
them.
Have
the
II
do
a
lot
of
drug
paraphernalia
that
it's
all
underneath
the
house
and
inside
the
place
and
feces
and
everything
so
I
just
think
we
need
to
see
what
we
can
do.
I
hate
to
put
a
lot
of
work
on
you,
but
you
know
I,
it's
something
that
the
community
came
and
asked
me
and
I
don't
want
to
be
a
person
to
say.
G
One
of
the
things
that
I
was
looking
for
it
because
I
don't
like
coming
to
you
all
and
in
saying
that
there
isn't
something
that
you
can
do
is
I
would
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
work
with
staff
and
to
provide
all
of
your
office's
with
the
contact
information.
It's
something
like
this
does
come
because
I
do
understand
that
there
was
some
confusion
about
who
to
contact
in
those
situations
and
I'll.
Take
that
upon
myself
personally
to
provide
that
to
y'all's
office.
Thank.
M
A
H
A
H
H
T
Every
year
we
do
an
annual
action
plan
for
HUD
that
is
required
as
part
of
our
consolidated
plan.
So
there's
a
consolidated
plan
that
covers
five
years
every
year
you
do
an
annual
action
plan
and
that
is
for
our
allocation.
So
as
part
of
the
action
plan
process,
it
actually
starts
in
March.
We
have
a
number
of
public
hearings.
We
have
a
first
public
hearing
to
let
people
know
we're
gonna
start
the
process.
We
have
technical
assistance
workshops
to
let
nonprofits
know
how
they
can
go
about
applying
for
the
funds.
T
Once
we
get
all
of
those
submissions
and
we
do
a
recommendation
to
the
mayor.
We
then
pull
together
the
action
plan
that
outlines
how
the
money
will
be
spent
that
is
presented
to
the
City
Council
in
a
public
hearing
that
happened
in
on
May
23rd.
It
opens
a
30-day
comment
period
that
closed
on
June
23rd
and
then,
after
the
comment
period
we
submit
to
HUD.
There
is
a
lag
between
when
the
action
plan
is
done
and
when
the
agreements
come
out.
T
So
for
some
of
the
activities
there
is
an
actually
a
three-year
agreement,
but
we
didn't
receive
our
notice
from
HUD
until
October
23rd
and
that's
when
we
know
that
the
monies
are
available.
We
get
our
grant
agreements
and
then
we
can
move
forward
with
the
agreements
with
the
agencies
for
the
funds
that
were
allocated
in
the
annual
action
plan.
So
this
actually
happened
was
approved.
Back
in
July
went
to
HUD
August.
T
H
Think
you
mean
yes,
just
as
a
follow
must
be
clear
thanks
for
bringing
that
the
reason
I
asked
to
pull.
This
is
not
because
I'm
opposed
to
it.
Actually
the
contrary
I'm
tremendously
in
favor
of
it
I
wanted
to
bring
this
up,
because
many
folks
in
the
community
often
ask
us,
you
know
what
are
you
doing?
H
You
know
what
are
you
doing
for
for
less
advantaged
parts
of
the
town
and
less
advantage
of
people
disadvantaged
people
in
our
community
and
I
think
this
is
an
important
one,
that
sort
of
slips
by
without
a
whole
lot
of
notice
on
the
consent
agenda,
not
your
fault,
but
this
in
this
case
it's
three
million
dollars.
I
think,
is
the
total
CDBG
Community
Development
Block.
My
contribution
from
Chile
I
decided
that
on
their
letter
on
that
letter,
you
had.
H
T
H
T
Housing
counseling
to
help
people
with
stabilizing
their
housing
needs,
whether
that's
rental
or
homeownership.
We
had
sorry
special
needs
assistance,
so
we
do
work
with
Lighthouse
for
the
Blind.
We
have
a
number
of
programs
for
homeless
individuals,
people
with
HIV
and
AIDS.
There
is
a
large
variety
of
funding
and
that's
why
we
had,
because
people
are
not
coming
out
to
the
public
hearings
and
not
aware
that's
why
we
had
the
community
resource
fair
on
the
26th,
where
we
brought
all
of
those
agencies
into
one
space.
T
M
M
M
The
country
I
see
people
who
have
these
new
ideas
of
having
handyman
trailers
where
the
outside
contract
and
how
people
go
down
communities
and
actually
fix
on
fix
roofs,
do
painting
and
I,
don't
know
it
would
be
certain
guidelines,
maybe
have
our
own
Guilin
versus
any
federal
guidelines,
but
looking
at
putting
more
money
into
rehabbing
these
blighted
communities,
people
don't
have
money.
You
have
an
older
person
who
can't
can't
get
a
loan.
I
can't
fix
their
place
up
because
they're
on
a
fixed
income.
M
That's
why
I
like
to
see
someone
that
money
be
going
to
heavily
to
look
at
rehab
and
also.
Why
have
you
here?
A
great
job
which
you
people
did
for
us
and
it's
council,
so
I
also
like
to
have
a
report.
The
pros
and
cons
on
the
event.
So
council
can
know
the
future
and
some
of
the
other
council
we
want
to
put
on
those
housing
seminars.
T
And
councilmen,
just
to
make
you
aware,
we
do
put
quite
a
bit
of
money
into
owner-occupied
rehab,
two
million
dollars
is
actually
going
in
this
year.
We
did
two
million
dollars.
Last
year
we
didn't
use
all
of
the
funding
and
I'm
happy
to
take
more,
but
I
need
a
resource
as
to
where
to
get
it
from,
as
well
as
the
community
to
come
out
and
utilize.
The
program
that
is
available.
M
T
I
will
accept
that
from
our
office
we
were
understaffed
for
quite
a
long
time.
We
have
recently
been
staffed
up,
thank
you
to
the
council
and
to
the
administration,
for
that,
and
all
of
those
rehabs
are
starting
to
move
we're
hoping
to
have
them
all
completed
the
majority
completed
by
December
and
all
of
them
completed
by
March
that
are
in
the
hopper
right
now.
Thank.
A
You
okay!
Thank
you
very
much!
Ma'am
and
now
before
we
move
to
our
last
item,
93
94
95.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
on
those
because
those
are
under
staff
reports
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
because
I
think
we
have
staff
here,
waiting,
93,
94
95.
Let
me
know
please,
because
I
would
like
to
move
to
public
comment
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure.
H
A
L
Good
morning,
council
mark
will
fall
to
the
part
in
solid
waste
environmental
program
management.
So
before
you
today,
you
have.
I
have
informed
mccabe
a
transfer
station
current
transfer
station
that
we
have
that
mccabe
a
is
undersized
I
think
when
I
initially
started
doing
research
on
this
project
realized,
it
was
dedicated
and
I
believe
1983
and
was
mayor
Martinez
and
our
population
was
probably
around
250,000
since
then.
Obviously,
Tampa
has
expanded
quite
exponentially
and
we're
approaching
500,000.
So
now
we
have
a
transfer
station
and
he's
undersized
to
serve
our
population.
L
A
H
Fellowship
Thank
You
mr.
wolf,
thanks
for
the
good
work
that
you
and
your
your
folks
do
with
solid
waste
every
every
day
of
the
week,
as
somebody
who
uses
the
the
transfer
station
and
the
city
dump
out
there
with
that.
With
my
truck
periodically
I
appreciate
the
fact
we're
we're
doing
a
new
one
and
we
need
it
badly.
H
So
so
I'm
I
was
glad
to
see
this
I
to
items
on
the
agenda.
What
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
do
this
week
that
I
usually
do
is
call
Greg
Hart
and
ask
him
about
minority
vendors
opportunities
on
this.
This
is
a
big
one.
That's
35
million
dollars,
for
you
know,
item
94
and
the
other
one
I
think
was
like
9
million
dollars,
but
specifically
in
regard
to
us
doing
a
GMP
guaranteed
maximum
price
agreement
with
I.
Don't
know
if
I
can
pronounce
it
cut,
Galactus
cocka
locky
contracting.
H
L
H
L
H
L
H
J
Sir,
not
at
this
moment
to
pull
the
file
on
the
record
space
again:
Gregory
Hart
city
of
Tampa,
equal
business
opportunity
manager
this
morning,
I'm
here
to
bring
you
greetings
on
behalf
of
miss
BJ,
Weimer,
the
NFL
event
executive
and
miss
Lou,
Kendriya
Robinson,
our
local
director
of
business
connect
and
community
outreach
for
our
NFL
host
committee.
In
addition,
there
was
a
press
conference
held
Monday,
the
4th
at
Raymond
James
Stadium
to
kick-off
the
Super
Bowl
55
supplier
diversity
program,
and
it
is
titled
business
connect,
formerly
known
as
emerging
business
program.
J
J
J
M
Presentation
that
they
come
before
this
council,
so
this
council
can
know
who
these
people
are
and
understand
what's
going
on.
That
was
the
reason
for
that.
So
we'll
go
with
the
presentation
today,
but
I
do
want
them
to
come
before
this
council
too.
So
this
callous
can
know
who
these
people
are.
What
they're
representing
in
and
get
from
me
with
the
program
of
the
bowl
sure.
J
Thing
and
I'll
communicate
that
as
well
and
about
how
long
is
your
presentation
60
seconds
a
minute?
Oh
really
brief.
Okay,
again
about
business
connect
just
quickly,
it's
to
connect
local
diverse
businesses,
to
contract
opportunities
for
Superbowl
55.
All
contracts
related
to
business
connect
our
special
event
production
contracts
to
prepare
local,
diverse
businesses
for
contracts
by
having
them
participate
in
a
series
of
business
development
workshops.
These
workshops
range
from
preparing
a
high
quality
capability
statement,
understanding
the
RFP
process
and
leveraging
the
business
connect
experience
to
grow
in
our
local
market.
J
J
With
that
business
connect
will
select
a
maximum
of
three
hundred
businesses
to
produce
to
participate
in
the
business
connect
program.
The
business
connect
does
not
guarantee
contracts,
regardless
of
where
their
businesses
awarded
the
contract
or
not.
They
will
be
guaranteed
full
access
to
the
business
connect
benefits,
including
business
development
programming
and
networking
opportunities.
That
being
said,
on
Tuesday
of
November,
the
12th
we're
going
to
be
kicking
off
along
with
our
NFL
partners
at
the
Jewish
Community
Center.
An
event
workshop
and
introduction-
and
that's
is
what
you
are
looking
at
now
on
the
on
the
overhead.
J
A
Thank
you.
Any
questions
come
counsel.
Thank
you
very
much,
sir.
We,
okay
and
now
we
have.
The
next
item
is
the
the
EDC
contract
56
and
and
take
that
after
public
comment,
cuz
I
think
that's
gonna
take
a
little
bit
longer
and
so
now
we're
gonna
move
forward
to
public
comments.
So
if
you're
here
to
publicly
comment
an
item,
any
item
on
the
agenda
or
otherwise,
please
come
forward
three
minutes
a
person
and
again
I
apologize
to
everybody
for
the
delay.
A
I
I
Like
people
in
god,
we
trust
and
love.
Oh,
we
paradise
Missionary
Baptist
Church
and
cooperation,
pastor,
Frank,
Williams
senior
and
family
1112
East
Scott
Street.
He
that
believeth
on
the
son
has
everlasting
life
and
he
that
believeth,
not
in
the
son,
shall
not
see
life,
but
the
wrath
of
God
shall
abide
on
him.
God
is
angry
with
the
wicked
at
the
book
of
Romans,
8:28
and
35
to
39.
You
know
we
are.
I
We
have
a
lot
of
hatred
going
on
in
the
United
States
of
America
and
it
seem
like
you
all
hate
black
folks
because
of
what
they
stand
for
and
I
had
talked
with
leprechauns
number
for
you
to
called
me,
but
you
never
returned
my
call
but
I
like
for
you
and
your
counselors,
the
lawyer,
your
counsel,
to
come
down
to
my
my
church
there
and
I
want
to
show
you
all
some
evidence
of
how
to
mistreatment
our
church
can
y'all.
Do
that
by
me.
Okay
call
me
give
me
two.
M
I
Okay:
okay,
please
also
I
wanna
make
the
dedication
to
this
City
Council
here,
I'll
put
it
here,
so
everybody
fears.
That's
the
way.
Y'all
seem
to
run
this
organization,
so
you
need
to
change
the
name,
the
founder
of
the
Ku
Klux
Klan,
because
that's
the
way
y'all
seen
you're
running
you
don't
seem
to
respect
people's
with
color
and
you
got
to
understand.
We
were
created
by
God
Almighty,
all.
M
I
Nobody
is
no
better
than
nobody
else
because
of
the
color,
your
skin.
You
look
at
yourself
and
think
you're
superior,
no
you're,
not
superior.
You
only
superior
when
you
got
Jesus
Christ
in
your
life
and
I
think
talk
to
Jesus,
Christ
and
y'all
think
he's
proper,
practically
trying
to
eliminate
public
can't
comment
because
the
idea
they
want
to
hear
what
all
the
white
folks
got
to
say
and
don't
want
to
hear
nothing
and
black
folks
out
to
say,
but
we
gonna
get
busy.
Q
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
the
benches
in
Gaslight
Park
and
the
cafe
in
your
name,
if
I
may,
sir
Austin
Willis.
Thank
you,
sir.
First
of
all,
just
the
whole
proposal
of
putting
a
cafe
in
the
park
because,
like
we
need
to
attract
more
people
to
it
or
to
that
area,
or
we
need
to
put,
we
need
to
develop
the
area
like
what
does
that
mean
like?
Q
It
seems
to
me
that
what
the
chamber
of
commerce
or
the
business
government
cooperation
whatever
what
they
mean
by
development
and
like
improving
the
area
just
means
extracting
more
money
out
of
it
like
before
we
take
the
benches
out,
lots
of
people
were
already
enjoying
the
park
like
a
lot
of
people,
would
congregate
and
hang
out
in
the
park.
Just
maybe
not
like
the
same
kind
of
people
as
mayor
caster
with,
like
you
know,
maybe
just
not
the
right
kind
of
people,
but
people
were
already
enjoying
the
park
we
don't
need
to.
Q
We
don't
need
to
sell
stuff
in
like
charge
for
entry
at
the
park
for
people
to
enjoy
it.
People
will
already
enjoy,
if
you
just
put
the
benches
back
and
I
also
just
wanted
to
state
the
obvious
that
taking
the
benches
out
and
for
five
or
six
months
now,
I
think
because
they
can't
be
repaired.
Well,
I
said,
on
those
benches,
like
five
days
before
they
were
taken
out,
they
were
fine.
The
benches
are
totally
fine.
I
said
in
those
benches
every
week
once
a
week
or
twice
a
week,
nothing
wrong
with
the
benches.
Q
It
is
very
suspicious
that
they
were
removed
when
the
major
sporting
event
was
in
town
and
I
heard
lots
of
houses.
People
tell
me
that
they
had
been
told
by
police
not
to
be
in
gaslight
Park
that
weekend
the
same
weekend
that
the
benches
were
removed.
You
know
it's
clear:
it's
just
plain
as
day
that
it's
to
discourage
people
from
congregating
in
the
park
undesirable
people
and
yeah.
Why
does
it
take
six
months
to
fix
a
bench
all
right?
It's
not
like
it's,
not
an
internal
combustion
engine
or
a
spaceship
or
anything.
Q
It's
a
piece
of
metal
that
you
put
your
ass
on
and
I
know
the
park
student
rec
department
have
benches
if
they
don't
have
extra
benches
like
what.
If
what
what
are
they
doing?
This
is
a
parks
department.
They
have
benches
okay,
it's
ridiculous,
it's
just
a
lie,
but
they
don't
have
that
they
can't
put
the
benches
back.
That's
a
straight-up
lie.
That's
all.
L
Good
morning
my
name
is
Mike
cutter
and
I'm.
Also
here
on
that
issue,
it
looked
to
me
like
at
least
four,
if
not
five
of
you
already
recognized
what
a
bad
idea,
this
concession
is
I'm
not
going
to
spend
too
much
time
on
it
except
to
comment,
but
in
the
paper
it
was
reported
and
take
it
for
what
it
is
that
the
proposal
may
or
may
not
include
a
payment
to
the
city
for
the
space.
That's
astounding,
that's
a
stand,
but
the
reality
is
we
don't
need
more
places
to
eat
downtown.
L
There's
plenty
of
places
to
eat.
Downtown
I
have
a
lot
of
ideas
about
what
you
could
do
to
that
Park
to
make
it
more
amenable,
but
I'm,
not
an
expert
in
park
design.
You
have
a
staff
for
that.
So
let's
take
a
minute
to
talk
about
the
homelessness
problem
you
have
here.
What
are
we
doing
about
it?
It's
unclear
to
me
that
we're
doing
anything
about
it.
I
understand
it's
not
just
a
city
problem.
It's
also
a
county
problem
in
a
state
problem.
L
We
live
in
a
state
that
has
a
Sadowski
fund,
which
has
been
rated
to
the
tune
of
two
billion
dollars
for
affordable
housing,
okay
by
our
state
legislature,
who
somebody
up
there
today,
characterized
is
more
like
a
Mississippi,
State
Legislature
totally
agree.
It
may
be
worse
than
that,
but
this
city
has,
according
to
my
research
and
I,
don't
pretend
to
be
a
government
finance
expert,
approximately
thirteen
sources
of
finance
potential,
including
bonding
there
are
things
you
can
do
to
work
on,
developing,
not
just
affordable
housing,
but
housing
for
people
who
just
don't
cut
it.
L
Sometimes
in
this
society,
for
whatever
reason,
terrible
terrible
health
addiction,
mental
challenges,
those
people
need
to
be
helped
helped
also-
and
you
have
22
City
Attorney's
here
by
my
count-
maybe
one
or
two
off
put
one
of
them
on
this
put
one
of
them
on
this.
Let
them
do
some
work.
Tell
you
how
financing
opportunities
you
have
to
fix
health
fix.
This
problem
have
a
joint
meeting
with
Hillsborough
County
talk
to
them
about
how
to
this
county?
L
Why
it's
not
going
to
happen
at
the
state
legislature
levels,
not
my
lifetime
from
what
I
can
say,
but
it
really
needs
to
be.
Something
is
fixed
and
I
heard
some
people
up
here
earlier
speaking
about
a
project
that
actually
sounded
pretty
interesting
with
a
safe
and
sound
Hillsboro
project
and
they
talked
about.
L
I
Good
morning,
Geraldine
Rodgers
Tunes.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
express
my
concerns
about
placing
roundabouts
on
34th
Street
in
East
Tampa
at
the
significant
research
I
discovered
that
roundabouts
have
become
a
national
trend
in
lieu
of
traffic
signals
and
they
have
favorable
reviews
for
reducing
serious
traffic
accidents.
The
city
of
Tampa
website
identifies
25
roundabouts
in
Tampa.
However,
the
roundabouts
are
a
relatively
newer
design
in
Tampa
and
a
major
change
from
traditional
driving
methods.
Public
education
should
accompany
the
implementation
of
roundabouts.
I
I
commend
mayor
caster
for
being
receptive
to
the
concerns
of
our
communities.
Mayor
caster
responded
to
a
citizen's
question
regarding
the
plan
roundabouts
for
34th
Street,
while
appearing
on
WTOP
radio
station
about
two
weeks
after
her
appearance
on
the
show,
a
public
demonstration
was
conducted
at
40th,
Street
and
Yukon
Avenue
to
give
instructions
on
how
to
maneuver
through
roundabouts
and
the
appropriate
traffic
signals.
Excuse
me
and
the
appropriate
traffic
signs
were
eventually
installed
still
I
have
concerns
about
safety
of
the
children
in
each
temple.
I
When
it
comes
to
adding
newly
proposed
roundabouts
on
34th
Street
in
all
of
my
research,
I
didn't
find
any
roundabouts
located.
In
close
proximity
to
an
elementary
schools,
our
two
elementary
schools
did
the
city
of
Tampa
Transportation
Department
consult
with
Hillsborough
County
School
District
are
the
city's
Parks
and
Recreation
Department?
Are
we
any
our
work?
Any
public
hearings
in
help.
Excuse
me
I
work.
Any
public
hearings
held
in
East
Tampa
to
obtain
the
community's
perspective
pertaining
to
roundabouts
being
on
34th
Street.
I
Two
of
the
proposed
changes
to
34th
Street
are
in
residential
areas,
with
elementary
schools
and
parts.
Potter
elementary
school
has
start
program:
East
Tampa,
Khadem,
II
charter,
school,
fair
works,
part
in
the
NFL,
yet
Center
are
all
in
close
proximity
to
the
proposed
roundabout
sites
and
the
NFL
yet
center
will
be
directly
makes
to
one
meaning
within
a
few
hundred
feet
from
proposed.
Roundabouts
is
also
alarming
that
the
roundabouts
proposed
for
34th,
Street
and
Columbus
Drive
is
directly
next
to
Christ.
United
Methodist
Church
I
may
have
to
skip
some
of
that.
I
A
I
Children
understand
traffic
lights,
red
means,
stop
and
green
means
go.
Will
new
pedestrian,
crosswalk
stimulus
and
stoplights
be
installed?
If
so,
is
it
feasible
to
have
roundabouts
where
traffic
lights
will
still
be
required?
Please
reconsider
the
installation
of
roundabouts
on
34th
Street.
For
the
aforementioned
reasons,
I
pray,
sound
decisions
will
be
made
to
ensure
the
safety
of
all
parties
commuting
on
34th
Street.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
We
appreciate.
S
Good
morning
my
name
is
Cara
ransom
I'm
here
this
morning
to
talk
about
several
issues.
I
see
listed
on
your
agenda
today,
I'm
one
of
them
I
had
a
really
great
question.
It's
somewhere
in
this
agenda,
where
you
stated
that
there
would
be
a
quick
claim
deed
for
properties.
What
was
valued
at
$1,000.
The
other
was
stated.
Excuse
me
for
two
hundred
and
forty-five
dollars.
So
I
would
like
to
know
how
to
get
my
name
on
the
list.
So
the
city
of
Tampa
can
quit
claim
some
property.
S
Real
property
is
what
is
stated
here
and
I.
Don't
know
if
I
have
this
correct,
but
I
did
read
it.
How
I
get
my
name
on
the
list
for
those
properties?
The
next
issue
I
wanted
to
discuss,
was
also
other
an
item
that
was
listed
on
your
agenda
today,
and
that
was
from
the
lovely
report
we
got
from
mr.
Gregory
Hart,
and
this
was
regarding
the
proposal
for
the
super
bowl
55
coming
here
in
the
city
of
Tampa.
S
You
know
a
few
years
ago
we
did
have
another
Super,
Bowl
and
I
do
know
of
numerous
construction
companies
that
participated
in
the
shenanigans
that
went
on
that
year.
They
paraded
us
up
and
down.
We
signed
all
types
of
attendance
sheets.
We
went
to
workshop
after
workshop
and
did
not
get
anything
the
key
to
it.
S
All
is
called
unbundling
if
they
don't
set
aside
work
and
small,
smaller
bundles,
so
that
some
of
the
smaller
companies
here
that
exist
in
the
city
of
Tampa,
then
we
won't
be
able
to
participate
in
those
projects,
and
one
of
the
criteria
of
stipulations
was
that
you
had
to
work
and
if
you
had
to
work,
you
had
to
be
able
to
conduct
stadium
work.
You
had
to
participate
in
work
at
a
stadium
prior
to
its
Super
Bowl.
S
Well,
if
you
didn't
get
working
the
last
Super
Bowl,
when
did
you
get
work
at
the
stadium,
and
so
that
gave
us
the
opportunity
to
automatically
not
be
successful.
The
same
thing
happens
when
you
have
the
gentleman
here.
The
new
work
that's
being
done
over
at
the
arm
for
waste
management.
If
you
unbundle
the
project,
you
can
get
more
participation.
What
happens
is
and
is
across
every
government.
We
have
cracks
in
our
systems,
whether
it's
the
homeless
problem,
whether
it's
the
benches
downtown
and
companies
that
people
human
beings
are
falling
through
the
cracks.
S
We
got
to
figure
out
what
the
crack
is
and
how
to
fix
it.
You
got
these
programs,
as
I
heard
you
say,
mister
goals
about
rehabbing,
more
homes,
problem
in
my
community.
We
don't
own
the
home,
cuz,
mom
and
them
didn't
have
a
will.
They
didn't
have
a
will.
So
the
house
doesn't
belong
to
anybody,
but
somebody
usually
the
matriarch
lives
in
that
house
and
because
her
name
is
not
on
anything,
she
couldn't
qualify.
If
you
bore
the
money
down
and
poured
it
on
her
simple
fix,
22
City
Attorney's.
S
E
The
ban
against
light
Bart
and
I
attend
a
church,
Hyde
Park,
a
Methodist
Church
that,
throughout
the
course
of
the
year,
provides
some
between
8,000
and
10,000
breakfast
meals
to
house
neighbors
in
our
city
and
through
this
experience,
as
well
as
to
the
Bible
stay
that
follows
I,
hear
some
pretty
challenging
questions.
Things
like
welcome.
You
folks
go
to
church
on
Sunday
morning
to
worship,
a
Savior
who
was
functionally
homeless
and
the
rest
of
the
week.
E
You
forget
about
him
or
you
know,
for
a
for
worshiping
homeless
Savior,
you
don't
have
any
place
for
them
to
sleep
at
night
and
the
city
made
a
promise
it
was.
It
was
published
in
the
newspaper.
I
know
not
everything
is
published.
Newspapers
are
so
accurate,
but
there's
published
in
the
newspaper
earlier
this
year,
where
the
city
spokesperson
promised
to
put
those
benches
back.
They
promised
the
city
spokesperson
who's.
Still.
The
state
spokesperson
today
is
now
saying
something
completely
different.
E
There's
now
saying:
well,
we
know
there
was
that
promise,
but
now
we
won't
have
a
cafe
and
I
got
here
really
good
about
an
hour.
I
walked
around
and
I
I
saw
all
kinds
of
cafes,
many
of
which
have
outdoor
spaces,
so
you'd
be
competing
with
existing
businesses.
By
doing
that,
I
also
talked
to
some
folks
who
don't
have
homes
and
asked
them
what
they
thought,
and
you
know
what
they're
pretty
much
used
to
having
promises
broken.
E
This
is
a
promise
that
you
guys
made
as
the
city
the
city
made
this
promise
to
put
these
benches
back.
This
is
a
moral
obligation.
Our
initial
speaker
today,
who
give
the
invocation
called
us
to
heed
the
Holy
Spirit
and
in
the
words
of
Scripture,
we
are
told
to
love
God
above
all
else
and
love
our
neighbors
as
ourselves.
These
are
our
neighbors,
whether
they
dress
up
in
suits
and
ties
and
have
a
car
and
a
home
or
not.
These
are
our
neighbors
hungry
commitments
to
your
neighbors.
E
Doesn't
matter
what
your
Judeo
Christian
Muslim
or
non-religious
group
like
Food,
Not
Bombs.
He
helps
folks
out.
This
is
an
American
promise
we've
made
to
our
neighbors,
please
honor
that
and
don't
allow
this
cafe
to
go
in
there
taking
away
where
the
Q
public
space
is
we're
focusing
hands.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
C
My
name
is
Jimmy
Dunston
and
I
am
going
to
talk
about
the
benches
in
gaslight
Park
as
well.
First
I
wanted
to
ask
for
your
understanding
for
the
strong
emotions
that
this
subject
invokes.
Many
of
us
have
become
close
friends
with
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
downtown
Tampa.
We
shared
meals.
Together
we
tend
people's
wounds
just
recently
in
the
past
month,
three
of
our
friends
on
the
streets
have
died.
C
So
it's
something
that
touches
us
very
deeply
and
closely
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
any
amenities
that
are
in
the
park,
you
know
for
all
everybody,
including
people
experiencing
homelessness-
that
you
know
the
cafe
or
whatever
other
additions
to
the
park
are
not
done
that
expense
of
further
marginalizing
and
forcing
people
out
people
who
have
already
been
marginalized
and
pushed
pushed
to
the
edges
already
more
than
you
know
their
fair
share,
and
it's
not
just
the
benches.
It's
trash
cans.
C
C
So
we
really
encourage
you
to
you,
know,
put
the
needs
of
people
experiencing
homelessness
at
the
forethought
of
you
know
your
policy,
and
if
you
can,
you
know
liaison
with
the
mayor's
office
in
the
city
to
get
a
bit,
get
the
benches
and
trash
cans
back.
That
would
be
great
and
it
would
be
much
appreciated.
Thank
You.
S
Connie
Burton
I
would
just
say:
first,
do
not
allow
this
council
to
be
set
up,
that
we
have
a
queen,
the
Lord,
and
you
think
we're
your
subjects.
It's
not
gonna
work
that
way.
We
want
to
have
mutual
respect
for
you
and
we
do
want
you
to
have
a
mutual
respect
of
our
time
number
one.
There
are
several
things
on
the
agenda.
I
want
to
talk
about
the
marijuana
dispensary,
some
of
you
who
was
not
here
in
2017,
but
some
were,
and
as
a
result
of
a
non
caring
community.
Now
we
have
the
dispensary.
S
We
got
internet,
cafes
and
I'm
sure
more
to
come.
You
know
why,
because
that
is
the
dumping
hub
for
things
that
will
not
show
up
on
face.
Shore
I
want
to
see
how
many
dispensaries
come
out
of
there
and
I
would
hope
that
some
of
you
would
have
enough
courage
to
say
that
the
community
that
has
suffered
the
brunt
of
so
many
arrests
for
marijuana
that,
even
if
it's
not
within
your
lane,
you
speak
out
to
see
how
we
can
expunge
some
of
those
charges.
S
The
way
we
see
so
many
throughout
the
country,
I
doing
don't
have
Florida
in
Tampa,
be
the
last
of
the
last
other
thing.
On
the
agenda
item
number
54
number
55
as
to
how
lots
become
affordable
for
two
hundred
and
forty
five
dollars,
eight
thousand
dollars
when
in
our
community,
when
we
in
each
temple
we
are
trying
to
get
lots,
then
we
see
to
see
our
a
the
tons
in
control
of
the
lots.
Then
the
Lots
do
then,
is
raffle
off
to
high
bidders.
S
The
community
still
do
not
have
a
say
and
what
we
want
to
see
happen
to
our
community.
You
know
that
we're
gonna
keep
on
drumming
that
down
too,
as
well
as
all
of
the
money
that's
coming
through
this
community.
I
could
tell
you
straight
up
just
like
mr.
Hart
and
the
other
one
could
not
talk
about
what
Bernard
e-participation
gonna,
be
it's
probably
at
zero.
S
Zero
0.1%
they're
too
embarrassed
to
say
that,
because
most
people
in
the
African
community,
where
the
economy
and
jobs
may
be
at
the
national
pace
in
our
community,
it
is
about
50
percent
of
unemployment.
In
terms
of
entrepreneurship,
the
tradition
in
our
community
has
been
to
go
to
school,
so
you
can
get
a
good
job
not
to
go
to
school,
to
become
an
entrepreneur.
So
when
all
of
this
money
is
flying
around
in
this
city,
a
million
dollars
with
Kimmons
how
many
collisions
with
smith,
swift
mud.
S
That's
the
question
how
many
job
opportunities
are
being
afforded?
The
least
fortunate
in
our
community
and
the
issue
of
homelessness
is
something
that
this
council
that
all
of
you
all
of
well
groomed
this
morning,
probably
didn't
have
to
do
what
I
took
our
probably
didn't,
have
to
go
to
McDonough
and
brush
your
teeth,
but
it
is
happening
in
our
community
and
I
would
hope.
Some
of
you
would
have
enough
courage,
before
your
next
election
cycle,
to
say
that
you're
gonna
take
on
this
issue
of
eradicating
homelessness
in
our
community
one
community
at
a
time.
Thank.
S
Good
morning,
council
Bishop
Michelle
B
Patti
Thank
You
Connie
for
leading
right
into
what
I
needed
to
say.
First
of
all,
the
council
need
to
understand
you
work
for
the
voters,
the
voters
you
we
voted.
You
in.
We
can
vote
you
out
saying
that
next,
the
staff
work
for
youth,
so
you
all
should
revisit
when
you
allow
the
calm
of
public
comments
to
come
for
to
you,
I
want
to
thank
those
of
you
that
thought
it
not
robbery
to
think
about
the
homeless.
Oh,
we
need
to
be
proactive.
S
Your
own
workers,
your
own
staff,
cannot
go
to
this
Park
and
have
a
bag
lunch
because
there's
no
word
is
see
city.
So,
if
you're
having
people
a
cafe,
the
cafe
is
gonna
be
for
paying
customers
only.
Also
the
zoning
for
the
marijuana
distributed
councilman
I
liked
I'm
glad
you
pointed
out
that
you
are
attorneys,
because
there
should
be
some
loophole
where
you
can
take
the
city
back
from
this
state.
This
is
our
city.
We
need
to
look
and
find
the
loopholes
as
to
what
we
can
do.
20:21
the
super
bowl.
S
It
has
already
been
established
blight.
Folks,
black
folks
will
not
get
any
work
done
because
you
already
have
a
stipulation
they
have
to
have
a
brick
and
mortar
okay,
many
people
work
from
their
home.
They
don't
have
these
shops
not
saying
they're,
not
licensed,
not
saying
they
cannot
do
the
job,
they
can
do
the
job,
but
we
need
to
have
the
opportunity,
so
the
bar
has
already
been
set
high,
where
we
would
be
left
out
again
and
Tampa
would
be
saying.
S
Oh
we
reached
out
to
you
all
know
you
didn't
it's
smoke
and
mirrors:
it's
not
giving
people
an
opportunity
to
be
it
or
to
have
some
work
with
this
Super
Bowl
as
a
tax
payer.
We
need
to
be
involved
and
we
need
to
have
a
part
of
the
pie.
The
young
lady
spoke
about
the
mayor.
Coming
on
the
talk
show,
if
the
name
to
show
us
what's
really
happening,
I'm
one
of
the
hosts
along
with
king
cobra
and
Jay
Johnson.
S
Not
only
did
she
come
on
his
show,
but
that's
how
we
ended
up
on
40th
Street,
because
the
citizens
spoke
out
about
the
roundabout.
We
want
to
thank
councilman
goos
for
coming
out,
but
what
took
place
when
you
work
with
your
citizens,
when
you
listen
at
your
citizen,
then
changes
can
come
about
because
there
are
some
things
that
has
gotten
implement
it
because
we
came
together
on
that
a
project.
So
you
need
to
stop
leaving
out
the
voices
of
the
people
and
start
listening,
because
we
do
have
common
sense
and
back
to
the
benches.
S
My
face
is
on
quite
a
few
in
this
town.
It
does
not
take
months
to
get
a
bit
a
replace
because
reminds
something
happened
to
it.
I
make
a
phone
call
within
days.
Those
are
put
back.
So
let's
stop
the
smoking
mirrors
that
stop
trying
to
on
people
intelligence
and
let
it
be
known
that
the
city
of
Tampa,
we
will
not
be
the
laughingstock
and
the
only
reason
we
don't
want
the
there
because
of
the
Super
Bowl
is
coming
and
you
don't
want
people
see
that
we're
home
this.
N
C
C
N
C
C
My
property,
it
says
that
an
attempt
to
expeditiously
resolve
this
matter.
The
staff
is
conducting
an
engineering
review
of
the
property.
Has
anybody
seen
an
engineering
engineering
review
properly
signed
by
a
PE
whose
license
is
on
the
line?
I
haven't
even
been
contacted?
Is
anybody
wanting
to
a
staff
member
coming
to
look
at
my
property?
You
don't
need
a
cessna
skywalker
flagging
flying
over
with
lidar
to
show.
A
P
My
name
is
Susan
Morgan
and
I
am
here
today
from
grace
points.
I
would
just
like
to
share
Florida
ranks,
third
in
the
nation,
for
drug
overdoses
and
death
due
to
death
thereof,
and
we
have,
on
average
1,100
people
come
to
a
month,
come
to
grace
point
that's
in
a
mental
health
or
substance
abuse
crisis
and
about
80
to
90
percent
of
those
test
positive
for
marijuana.
Additionally,
we
have
1,500
people
a
week.
Come
to
our
outpatient
service
is
right
there
on
our
campus
to
receive
outpatient
services
for
substance,
abuse
and
I.
P
But
as
councilman
coots
mentioned
that,
perhaps
it
might
be
an
opportunity
for
the
council
to
write
a
letter
to
the
League
of
Cities
into
the
Florida
Legislature
I'm,
not
sure
how
all
of
that
works,
but
additionally,
tala
had
the
way
the
regulations
are
written.
It
does
allow
some
regulation
and
the
land
use,
so
it
might
be
a
way
that
we
can
look
at
even
if
we
can't
do
anything
about
the
current
situation
going
forward.
P
I
try
to
print
a
map
of
the
other
commercial
general
site
that
are
within
the
city
and,
unfortunately,
I
wasn't
savvy
enough
to
print
it
in
such
a
way
to
make
it
user-friendly
here
for
this
presentation,
but
there
does
lead
that
there
could
be
other
situations
similar
to
ours
that
could
occur
in
the
future.
So
I
thought.
Maybe
we
could
consider
looking
at
the
land-use
matrix
and
I
understand.
That's
not
a
quick
process.
P
It's
a
little
bit
lengthy,
the
overlay
districts,
but
then
also
in
the
current
ordinance
that
may
be
better
defining
where
the
processing
and
distribution
sites
for
medical
marijuana
are
located.
Currently,
it's
in
commercial,
general
and
I'm
not
going
to
take
time
to
read
the
definition,
but
it's
supposed
to
be
compatible
with
surrounding
uses
and
residential
districts
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
under
commercial
general
processing
and
distribution
centers
such
as
the
one
next
door
to
us
at
plans
to
be
a
statewide
distribution
center.
P
I
just
don't.
That
is
something
that
we
could
put
into
our
land
use
and
I
know
that
the
city
will
probably
say
on
their
research
that
we
have
to
regulate
them
the
same
as
pharmacies.
But
most
pharmacies
are
not
growing
their
medication,
they're
not
distributing
their
medication,
so
I,
don't
think
it
would
impede
that.
So,
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
have
the
work
so.
M
P
R
Under
our
code,
we're
only
allowing
the
processing
and
cultivation
and
the
industrial
general
and
high
industrial
heavy
industrial
zoning
districts,
the
dispensaries
again
by
state
law.
We
can't
have
any
restrictions
more
restrictive
than
we
would
have
for
a
pharmacy,
so
they
are
allowed
in
commercial,
so
many
districts
so.
P
The
way,
though,
is
owned
in
the
property
next
door
to
us,
there's
owned
as
a
medical
marijuana
treatment
center,
which
allows
them
to
grow
process,
distribute
and
as
a
dispensary.
It
is
something
that
we
could
consider
in
our
land
use
matrix
in
that
definition
is
again
I'm.
Just
thinking
outside
the
box
here
is
not
being
able
to
co-locate
a
processing
facility
into
this
Spencer
and
I'm,
not
saying
even
that
the
marijuana
industry
folks
want
to
do
that,
but
if
you're
zone
to
do
that
unless
fast
forward,
five
years
from
now,
we
can't.
O
Good
morning,
Alan,
Snelling
and
I'm,
a
parent
have
a
daughter
in
recovery
and
also
I'm,
with
the
Hillsborough
County
anti-drug
Alliance
in
Tampa
alcohol
coalition
and
I'm.
Here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
the
staff
report
on
the
medical,
marijuana
and
I've
done
my
own
research,
and
there
are
things
that
can
be
done
now.
I'm
not
saying
the
city
will
want
to
move
forward
with
any
of
them,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
clear
that
we
can
do
something
in
fact
to
other
cities.
O
The
the
other
two
cities
within
Hillsborough
County
are
doing
something
and
they
both
have
banned
medical
marijuana
dispensaries.
So
that
is
very
clear
under
state
statute.
That
cities
can
do
that.
So
you
may
be
thinking
well,
we
already
have
medical
marijuana,
so
we
can't
do
that
anymore.
Well,
then,
you
can
look
at
this.
I
gave
you
copies
of
four
different
bands,
and
one
of
them
is
Lake
Worth
in
Lake.
Worth
is
a
really
nice
city
over
on
the
East
Coast.
They
had
two
dispensaries
and
they,
the
City
Council
decided.
O
O
So
they
decided
they're
going
to
be
working
with
at
the
state
level
to
try
to
change
that,
but
in
the
meantime,
they're
banning
so
something
that
could
be
done
if
it
was
the
will
of
the
City
Council
is
to
grandfather
in
the
I
believe,
there's
eight
or
nine
dispensaries
already
within
the
city
and
then
say
no
new
dispensaries,
in
other
words,
banning
the
new
dispensaries
and
I
gave
you
a
copy
of
that
to
see
so
one
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
mention
is
that
there's
a
new
crisis
and
it's
called
the
vape
lung
injury
crisis
and
in
Florida,
as
of
this
week,
there's
been
87
cases
in
one
death,
and
this
is
caused
by
vaping
marijuana.
O
That's
the
most
common
cause
and
some
of
its
black-market,
but
some
of
it
comes
from
dispensaries.
So
it's
just
something
to
keep
in
mind:
do
we
want
to
keep
having
inviting
more
and
more
of
these
dispensaries
into
our
city
or
is
aid
enough
and,
in
my
opinion,
I
think
it
isn't
up
until
this?
The
state
gives
us
more
leeway
to
zone
because
another
situation
can
happen.
Like
I
said
they
can
go
right
next
to
any
neighborhood.
They
can
go
within
10
feet
of
a
neighborhood.
O
For
that
matter
they
could
go
anywhere
farmers,
so
you
can
go
right
now,
so
the
only
way
to
control
them
is
to
ban
them.
A
couple
of
other
cities
have
done
something
where
they
are
they're:
putting
pharmacies
all
new
pharmacies
and
all
new
dispensaries.
In
the
same
zoning
and
they're
saying
moving
forward,
we
will
have
zoning
for
the
new
pharmacies
and
new
dispensaries.
O
That's
the
only
other
thing
that
can
be
done
at
this
point
by
the
way
we're
hands
are
tied,
so
just
want
to
appreciate
everything
that
you
all
have
done
and
showed
interest
in
the
community,
but
I
don't
like
to
give
up
and
I'm
not
going
to
give
up
and
I'm
hoping
that
the
city
will
do
something,
maybe
for
it.
Thank
you.
M
R
The
state
did
allow
cities
and
counties
to
if
they
chose
to
ban
dispensaries
outright
and,
as
I
talked
about
in
my
memo,
because
I
went
back
and
read
the
transcripts
in
2017.
This
council
had
a
very
heated
discussion
debate
as
to
whether
to
do
that
and
the
thought
was
that,
based
on
my
read
of
the
transcripts
I
wasn't
here,
the
council
was
very
sensitive
to
the
needs
of
certain
people
to
use
medical
marijuana
for
some
very
tragic
illnesses
and
decided
not
to
ban
dispensaries
to
allow
them
once
the
city
decides
to
allow
them.
R
T
R
In
response
to
one
of
the
comments,
there
are
in
fact
several
dispensaries
and,
for
example,
the
South
Tampa
area.
Most
of
them
tend
to
be
in
very
nondescript
strip
shopping
centers.
You
wouldn't
even
know
you're
driving
past
them
as
you
drive
past.
So
just
just
so
people
are
aware:
the
dispensaries
there
are
in
fact
a
number
of
dispensaries
in
South
Tampa,
but.
R
We
we
had
talked
about
that
back
in
September.
We
have
a
concern
about
trying
to
put
that
horse
back
in
the
barn.
At
this
point,
there
would
be
a
lot
of
legal
ramifications,
rendering
the
existing
facilities
non-conforming.
We
have
people
with
investment-backed
expectations
who
have
bought
property
or
planning
to
open
dispensaries,
have
not
done
so.
R
If
we
suddenly,
after
the
fact
try
to
do
a
ban,
we
think
we
would
be
faced
with
significant
legal
exposure
and
that's
why
we
recommended,
but
the
council
not
do
that
and
again
it
wouldn't,
for
example,
and
with
the
facility
in
East
Tampa,
which
is
already
approved.
It
also
is
at
cultivating
and
processing
facility
which
we
cannot
ban.
But
again,
we
strongly
recommend
that
the
council
not
go
back
and
try
to
ban
them
now,
after
two
years
of
them
being
allowed
in
the
city
of
Tampa.
Thank.
C
I,
what
100
my
neighborhood,
Seminole
Heights,
is
not
concerned
about
the
dispensaries,
we're
very
concerned
about
the
production
facility
going
on
on
the
edge
of
our
neighborhood
and
the
impact
it
will
have
on
the
quality
of
life
for
us
who
will
be
smelling
it
having
the
dust
etc.
So
that's
a
very
major
concern.
I
did
listen
to
the
testimony
at
legal
and
they
said
you
can't
do
anything
about
it,
which
is
very
frustrating.
C
Anybody
wants
go
to
Tallahassee
with
me
and
fight
the
factory
for
taking
away
all
our
rights
I'll
be
more
than
willing
to
go.
The
other
thing
is
I
want
to
talk
about
the
angus
gospel.
I
listen
to
mr.
beard
say
that
a
pool
covers
a
lot
of
things.
A
little
kiddie
pool
a
splash
pool
or
visible.
We
don't
want
a
splash
pool,
we
got
splash
pools.
We
got
a
man
at
getting
this
apart.
We
want
a
pool
where
you
can
get
in
and
swim.
C
You
can
teach
kids
to
swim
for
the
swim
team
across
the
street.
It
doesn't
have
to
drive,
have
kids
drive,
kids
all
the
way
across
Tampa
to
do
their
practices
because
there's
no
pool
in
their
own
neighborhood.
We
want
a
real
swimming
pool,
not
a
splash
pad
or
a
little
wading
pool
for
the
two-year-olds.
This
adults
want
to
do
water
aerobics,
they
want
to
swim
laps
and
we
would
like
a
pool
that
would
do
that.
C
So
you'll
have
a
screaming
and
yelling
if
you're
talking
about
a
pool,
that
is
only
for
little
kids
that
can
barely
walk.
The
other
thing
is
on
the
bricks:
I
live
in
the
street,
where
all
the
bricks
were
covered
in
asphalt
now
over
time.
Some
of
the
bricks
have
died,
so
we
have
just
a
puddle
of
asphalt
there,
but
in
front
of
my
house
where
the
oak
trees
have
kind
of
torn
up
the
street
a
little
bit.
We
have
real
bricks
under
there.
I
would
love
to
see
him
come
back
from
what
I
heard
today.
C
That's
never
going
to
happen.
I
find
that
very
frustrating.
We
have
a
major
speed
issue
on
our
Road.
They
come
off
Nebraska
and
they
go
90
miles
an
hour
to
get
wherever
they're
going
or
they
come
racing
up
literally
drag
racing
up
to
Nebraska
and
wonder
why
we're
upset
with
this
feeding
I
would
like
to
see
some
way.
We
could
get
at
least
some
improvement
bricks
or
some
other
thank.
A
C
A
H
B
A
A
A
A
H
A
D
D
D
D
A
O
A
C
A
E
A
H
H
Young
lady
in
the
audience
spoke
very
articulately
and
she
said
why
are
we
giving
away
property
for
$245
I
just
hope?
I
pulled
the
backup
on
that
and
specifically
wanted
to
respond,
because
it
was
a
good
question.
So
this
is
a
tiny
little
piece
of
a
it's
a
it's
a
strip
of
tiny
strip
of
land
350
square
feet.
What
they
call
an
economic
remainder
that
somehow
or
another,
probably
through
eminent
domain
or
whatever
ended
up
continuing
to
be
in
our
possession.
350
square
feet
is
35
by
10.
H
It's
not
buildable
or
anything
else,
so
that
I
just
wanted
to
explain
that,
and
you
know
in
a
second
I'll
move
that
I
asked
staff
to
look
at
number
55,
because
that's
$8,000
item
for
property
located
a
814,
East,
Palm,
Avenue
and
I
was
just
they
said
there
was
a
backup
on
the
exhibit
that
I
couldn't
the
exhibit.
So
what
did
you
find.
K
K
H
L
Poor
City
Attorney's
Office
I
actually
worked
the
deed
documentation
with
this
transaction.
The
city
policy
of
disposition
is
to
offer
on
economic
remainders
to
adjacent
landowners,
and
they
can
come
up
with
a
price.
The
minimum
amount
is
usually
the
appraised
value
at
the
appraisers
office.
In
this
instance,
we
have
substantially
more
than
the
property
it's
appraised
for,
and
the
city
benefits,
because
now
the
land
that
is
owned
by
the
same
owner
is
now
going
to
be
taxed
at
a
higher
ad
valorem
rate.
That's
gonna
bring
revenues.
That's
going
to
make
it
I.
B
H
What
you're
saying,
but
on
the
flip
side,
is
I.
Think
if
we
put
this
sum
on
our
on
the
open
market
and
perhaps
listed
for
auction
I
think
we
could
get
more
than
$8,000,
it's
unbuildable,
I,
know,
I
know
it's
unbuildable
and
I
said
that
earlier
it's
unbuildable
in
its
current
zoning
form,
but
5050,
you
know
what
was
it
50
by
50
by
40,
okay
I
was
thinking
of
50
by
90,
okay,
fifty
by
forty
never
mind
all
right,
I'm
with
you,
I
was
thinking
a
fifty
by
ninety.
H
A
Thank
you,
sir.
We
have
a
motion
by
Councilman
Dan
Felder,
a
second
by
Councilman
escapo,
all
in
favor
any
opposed.
Okay,
we
move
to
item
number
56
and
they
also
have
a
motion
for
an
extra
30
minutes.
Both
30
motion
by
Councilman
is
Calculus
economic,
councilman
citro,
all
in
favor
any
opposed
mr.
Roger,
oh
you're,
a
long
wait
is
over
sir.
L
Good
afternoon,
council
Venice
for
her
into
the
chief
financial
officer.
Of
course,
this
is
an
agreement
before
you
for
two
years,
with
the
EDC
five
hundred
and
thirty
eight
thousand
dollars
in
the
current
fiscal
year
and
pending
funding
appropriation
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
one,
five
hundred
and
thirty
eight
thousand
dollars
in
that
year.
We're
able
to
answer
any
questions
we
have
representatives
from
the
EDC
and
I
believe
other
organizations
also
thank.
D
I
I
pulled
this
just
because
obviously
I
want
to
vote
against
it.
A
few
quick
points
I
want
to
just
want
to
read
into
the
record
number
one.
The
contract
has
a
30-day
out,
even
though
it's
a
two-year
contract,
there's
a
30-day
out
and
there's
also
a
24-hour
out
for
non-performance.
So,
even
though
it's
a
two-year
contract,
we
saw
it
flexibility
to
come
back
and
ideally
renegotiate
terms
or
or
or
change
the
funding
structure
completely
number
two,
as
you
all
have
seen
from
the
public
speakers,
and
also
from
the
numbers
I
present
and
others.
D
The
biggest
issue
we're
facing
at
Tampa
right
now
is
our
high
poverty
rate.
We
have
the
second
highest
poverty
rate
of
any
major
city
in
Florida.
We
also
have
an
affordable
housing
crisis.
We
have
a
a
terrible
problem
with
affordable
housing
and
we
need
to
focus
all
the
city
resources
we
can
on
those
two
issues
and
so,
in
whatever
lens
we
look
at
the
EDC
width.
I
think
we
have
to
add
that
to
the
criteria
that
we
look
at,
and
we
also
have
to
compare
it
to
what
could
we
do
with
that
money?
D
It
five
hundred
and
thirty
eight
thousand
it
compared
to
some
of
the
other
budgets
we
spend
is
not
that
much
money,
but
it
could
give
a
hundred
five
thousand
or
what
is
it
more
than
one
hundred
five
thousand
dollar
grants
to
small
businesses,
small
minority-owned
businesses?
It
could
give
help
us
pay
or
subsidize
10
or
more
affordable
homes,
and
so
we
need
to
look
at
those
other
issues
and
put
it
through
that
lens
number.
D
There
were
other
organizations
that
changed
their
name
as
well,
but
we're
finding
this
organization
and,
as
was
said
in
the
paper
a
couple
days
ago,
the
people
of
Tampa
don't
want
controversy,
they
don't
want
conflict
and
what
this
did
is
it
by
changing
this
name
without
regard
to
our
partners
in
the
region
it
caused
conflict.
I've
been
flooded
with
calls.
You
saw
that
Mayor
Christman
was
concerned.
D
Commissioner
long
wrote
an
op-ed,
the
head
of
the
Pinellas
EDC
wrote
a
letter
to
the
editor
Pasco
commissioners
have
reached
out
they're
very,
very
upset
about
this.
We
represent
the
people
of
Tampa
when
we
find
something
they
are
representing.
The
people
of
Tampa.
Also
the
people
at
Tampa
don't
want
us
to
have
conflict
in
the
region.
They
want
us
to
have
peace,
I
recommend
that
we
charged
them
with
promoting
regionalism,
not
just
a
name
but
in
actual
cooperation,
and
ideally
they
would
still
change
their
name
back.
D
I
think
this
is
going
to
end
up
being
like
the
USF
Merrill
Lynch
logo,
that
in
a
year
or
so
with
the
regular
drumbeat
I
think
it
will
eventually
change
I
think
they
ought
to
apologize
to
Mayor,
cries
Minh
and
the
partners
in
the
region
for
how
they,
in
effect,
snubbed
them
number.
Four
transparency.
Transparency
is
critically
important.
If
an
organization
is
going
to
take
public
dollars
at
the
very
minimum,
I
think
we
ought
to
ask
them
to
list
their
board
members
on
their
website.
D
D
D
There
are
lots
of
big
numbers,
they've
been
report
in
the
media.
They
looked
at
the
numbers,
the
city
city
council,
in
turn,
looked
at
it
and
in
one
hour
a
USF
student
looked
at
the
numbers
and
found
a
seven
million
dollar
error.
In
one
hour
asking
one
question:
the
staff
confirmed
that
it
was
an
error.
So
the
question
is
how
do
if
they're,
making
errors
in
the
reports
to
the
city
and
reports
to
the
City
Council?
And
that's
just
one
question
that
we
asked:
how
do
we
know
that
the
rest
of
the
numbers
are
accurate?
D
We
need
to
have
accountability.
We
need
to
have
staff
look
at
it.
Apparently,
staff
has
another
set
of
information
that
that
I
was
not
originally
given,
but
in
the
reports,
the
basic
reports
to
city
to
the
city
and
city
council.
The
numbers
were
wrong,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
accountability.
The
last
thing
is:
inclusiveness.
I
could
give
you
lots
of
examples
of
this
from
Betty,
castor
and
others
fighting
the
University
Club
for
inclusiveness
to
1987.
D
The
Supreme
Court
said
that
Rotary
clubs
had
to
include
women,
and
they
said
it
was
an
unfair
Vantage
for
men
because
they
were
not
getting
access
to
inside
information.
That
was
that
was
gathered
because
the
men
and
Rotary
clubs
were
able
to
communicate
with
each
other
the
same
thing
in
an
organization
like
this.
This
is
an
old
model
from
the
80s
that
you
pay.
Public
pays
for
a
private
organization
that
has
confidential
information,
that's
paid
for
by
the
public,
and
it's
shared
among
people
who
pay,
and
so
what
I
would?
D
What
I
would
suggest
if
they
want
to
be
a
private
organization?
That's
fine,
but
if
they're
going
to
get
public
dollars
from
the
city
and
county,
they
need
to
be
inclusive.
Inclusiveness
is
very
important
and
they
we
need
to
ask
them
to
have
events
and
programming
that
includes
small
businesses.
Small
businesses
cannot
afford
to
pay
ten
or
twenty
or
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
participate
in
their
in
their
activities,
and
so
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way
to
you
know.
D
We
heard
the
public
line
up
here
today
and
say:
minority-owned
businesses
and
small
businesses
should
have
access
in
lots
of
ways.
Deals
are
being
cut
behind
closed
doors
and
we're
paying
for
it.
That's
not
fair
to
the
small
businesses
we're
trying
to
help
so
with
that
I
will
be
quiet.
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
Jim
I
guess
I
haven't
just
a
few
questions
and
I
see
the
EC's
here
so
I
know
mr.
cross
has
a
lot
of
caution,
but
I
myself,
I,
like
the
chairman
of
or
they
can
refer
to
mr.
Craig
wishing
to
come
up
and
tell
me
about
the
EDC.
You
tell
this
board
so
we're
gonna
understand
where
the
funny
comes
from
who's.
The
boss
of
the
whole
organization
give
you
a
little
knowledge
about
the
decision.
M
J
Morning,
good
morning,
chairman
honorable
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
Craig.
Richard
president
CEO
of
the
EDC
with
me
today
is
our
vice
chairman,
Jim
Weiss
who's,
the
market
president
of
Fifth
Third
and
Dave
Ebert,
who
is
senior
vice
president
of
SPP
and
who's.
Also
representing
James,
knows
our
the
president
of
SVP,
who
is
our
secretary
treasurer
of
the
organization.
The
organization
is
a
501
C,
6,
non-profit
organization.
J
We
have
about
a
four
million
dollar
budget,
approximately
five
hundred
and
eight
thousand
of
that
comes
from
a
contract
with
the
City
Council
and
the
city
of
Tampa
and
the
other
450,000
us
with
the
Hillsborough
County.
So
of
the
four
million
dollar
budget.
Approximately
we
match
one
dollar
from
the
city,
with
six
dollars
of
private
funding
for
economic
development.
In
regards
to
the
organization
and
its
governance,
the
the
the
chair
this
year
is
Murray
Chandi,
C
Everett.
She
is
the
managing
director
of
DTCC.
J
She
regrets
that
she
couldn't
be
here
today,
I,
believe
she
sent
a
letter
to
council
to
that
effect
and
then
our
our
general
counsel
is
David
Weinstein,
with
Greenberg
Traurig
and,
and
we
have
a
board
of
directors
that
is
primarily
governed
by
members
and
investors
of
the
organization.
And
then
three
years
ago
we
actually
worked
to
revise
our
board
of
our
governance
structure
so
that
it
would
allow
ten
new
at-large
positions
that
could
be
nominated
from
any
position.
So
it's
a
honor
to
be
with
you.
J
There's
one
caveat
to
that:
we
have
a
program:
that's
called
global
Tampa
Bay,
it's
our
international
trade
program
and
on
that
program
we
receive
funding
from
JPMorgan
Chase
to
implement
a
trade
export
program
and
a
foreign
direct
investment
program.
Pinellas
and
Pasco
partners
with
us
on
that
program.
They've
agreed
to
provide
funding
for
their
expenses
to
carry
out
that
piece
of
the
program.
H
Yes,
sir,
thanks
for
joining
us
today,
just
just
a
couple
of
things.
I
share
some
of
mr.
Carlson's
concerns,
especially
on
this
mosaic
item,
which
sort
of
surprises
me.
The
$500,000
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
what
our
contribution
or
what
jerk
contribution
was
in
terms
of
time
and
effort.
But
I
guess
what
is
that
some
sort
of
investment
from
mosaic
I
don't
know
dan
Plante
would
be
rolling
over
in
her
grave.
H
If
she
knew
that
we
were,
you
know,
trying
to
help
mosaic
and,
as
the
article
indicated
in
the
paper,
it
doesn't
look
like.
The
environmental
community
is
still
happy
with
mosaic
and
that's
after
fighting
them
for
30
or
40
years.
So
anyway,
I
don't
want
to
get
lost
in
the
weeds
on
that
one,
but
that
one
that
one
jumped
out
at
me.
Mr.
Carlson
I
appreciate
you
bringing
that
to
our
attention.
H
However,
one
of
the
things
I
think
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
be
team
players,
especially
with
the
county
and
with
the
business
community,
and
if
I
thought
that
our
$500,000
was
it
and
you
were
just
sort
of
an
outside
arm
of
of
the
city
of
Tampa,
then
I
guess
I
would
question
that
too
and
say
why?
Don't
we
just
bring
you
in
house,
but
that's
not
the
case.
H
If
you
get
five
hundred
thousand
from
the
city
of
Tampa,
you
get
five
hundred
thousand
four
Mills
per
County
give
or
take,
and
then
you
get
another.
Would
you
say
about
three
million
dollars
from
your
private
investors?
So
I
think
it's
important
as
the
government
entity
that
we,
at
least
for
now
continue
that
relationship
in
the
spirit
of
cooperation
and
teamwork.
H
Now,
with
that
said,
we
are
sort
of
revamping
and
revising
our
own
internal
economic
development
program
with
the
new
hire
that
will
happen
over
the
next
I
hope,
maybe
six
months
or
so
so
we
will
work
with
that
person.
He
or
she
to
make
sure
that
that's
consistent
with
you
know
with
the
mayor's
ideas,
with
counsels,
ideas
and
with
the
new
Edy's
ideas.
So
with
all
that,
mr.
Carson
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
to
our
attention
right
now.
H
I,
don't
really
see
an
alternative
to
continuing
to
be
like
I,
say
a
team
player
with
this
with
this
organization.
If
we
just
yank
the
carpet
right
now,
we
don't
have
a
plan.
We
don't
have
a
person.
We
don't
really
have
an
alternative
over
this
next
year.
Mr.
Dennis,
did
you
indicate
that
this?
This
item
would
come
back
next
year
or
the
year
after.
L
E
D
The
the
I
don't
know
if
you
were
here
yet
this
morning,
but
there
was
another
issue
related
the
EDC
on
the
agenda
this
morning
and
that
was
to
talk
about
the
ROI
and
relationship
to
the
city
and
I
asked
for
it
to
be
postponed
till
I
think
March
six.
But
the
idea,
then,
is
that
but
we'll
have,
as
you
said,
an
economic
development
director
who
by
then
hopefully
will
have
a
plan,
and
we
can
see
what
the
context
of
this
would
be
within
that
plan
and
also
what
their
return
on
investment
is.
F
And
I
appreciate
everything
I've
heard
on
both
sides.
You
know
you
go
out
and
this
started:
I
am
NOT
elected
for
Tampa
Bay.
There
is
no
such
thing
as
a
governing
body
or
anything
Tampa
Bay,
the
body
of
water.
You
don't
hear
San,
Francisco,
Bay
or
Miami
Bank,
but
now
Tampa
Bay
is
the
new
catch
word
for
everything:
Tampa
Bay,
Bucs,
Tampa,
Bay
Buccaneers.
What's
called,
however,
you
see
I've
seen
advertising
on
the
street
Buccaneer
plumbing
service
or
whatever
it
was
longer
than
you
bay,
buccaneers
than
general
right.
I
guess.
E
F
Tampa
Bay
is
a
body
of
water,
then
your
Tampa
Bay
water.
What's
more
confusing
the
Tampa
Bay
water
in
the
city
of
Tampa
water,
you,
sir,
come
January
you'll
receive
a
lot
of
complaints
in
your
area
of
water.
Let
me
tell
you
I'll
tell
you
today
that
in
January
you
will
be
getting
calls
from
your
constituents
and
North
Tampa
anywhere
north,
where
that
water
is
gonna,
be
going.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
do
I
like
it?
Maybe
not.
It's
got
the
word
Tampa.
In
fact,
that's
the
legal
department.
F
Can
we
all
met
from
anybody
using
the
word
Tampa.
It
told
me
absolutely
no
way
before
this
happened.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
you
can't
say
the
city
of
Tampa,
but
you
can
say
Tampa
Bay
water,
you
can
say
tampa
bay,
buccaneers,
because
anything
you
want.
So
it's
a
situation
that
from
what
I've
read
the
thousands
of
jobs
have
been
created
and
not
all
jobs
or
high-paying
jobs.
F
When
you
built
the
plan
or
you
build
something
that
comes
in,
where
we're
doing
the
management,
whoever
doing
the
contracting,
whoever
doing
the
building
of
it,
ain't
gonna,
be
somebody
from
Harvard,
nobody,
Construction
Companies,
a
Harvard
guy
or
the
Harvard
girl
or
whatever
it
is.
If
you're
gonna
build
a
technical
school
for
nursing,
they
also
not
gonna
clean
the
building
guarantee
you
that
that's
what
I'm.
Looking
at
that
there's
a
range
and
I
don't
know
where
the
population
comes
from
and
what
the
salaries
are,
but
I
would
imagine,
is
from
top
to
bottom
payroll.
F
It's
just
not
one.
If
everybody's
would
be
a
standard
payroll,
just
what
would
be
there
would
be
out
American
because
everybody
here
gets
paid
on
what
they
produce
not
like
a
communist
country.
Buddy
gets
$25
a
month,
no
matter
who
you
are
so
what
I'm
saying
is
that
I'm
not
opposed
to
Tampa
whatever
you
want
to
call
yourself?
I
may
not
like
it
and
I'll
say
that
publicly.
But
when
I
give
a
speech,
I,
never
somebody
said
temp.
No,
no,
no,
no,
no
I'm
not
to
have
a
anything
I'm,
the
city
of
Tampa.
F
F
You're
gonna
have
Bradbury
I
call
them.
Is
it
possible
if
anything
is
possible,
but
it's
getting
hard
to
represent
a
city?
That's
growing
so
quickly
and
everybody
wants
to
use
the
name
Tampa
for
some.
In
fact,
you
can
go
to
Brookfield
is
in
Brooksville
Fernando
Brookfield
Tampa
hilburn
Andale,
something
here
nectar,
National
Airport
is
in
Brooksville.
You
don't
have
to
believe
me,
go
look
at
it
right
there
on
US
19.
F
T
A
It
is
anyone
else
just
for
before
we
vote
on
this.
For
my
own
I
know,
we've
obviously
spoken
about
this
before
you
know.
I
respectfully
disagree
whenever
it
comes
to
the
name,
change,
I,
don't
think,
that's
something
that
I
personally
support,
which
is
why
I
voted
for
councilman
Carlson's
motion
over
there
on
the
letter,
but
as
I've
made
clear
since
that
time.
That
was
the
preface
to
a
larger
book
that
has
developed
since
then,
and
I
and
I
are
respectfully
don't
see
eye
to
eye
on
that
issue.
A
I
think
that
the
name
change,
though,
does
send
the
wrong
message.
I
think
it
sends
the
wrong
message,
but
also
if
the
city
of
Tampa
were
to
take
the
draconian
step
of
not
funding
the
EDC.
That
would
also
send
a
wrong
message
and
a
much
more
powerfully
negative
message
than
a
mere
name
change
III.
So
that's
why
I
respectfully
cannot
support
III,
appreciate
councilman
Carlson's
passion
on
this
issue,
but
I
cannot
support
it
so
and
in
councilman
Carlson.
Obviously,
you
will
not
be
moving
in
one.
F
More
time
say,
you
know
and
I
know,
got
two
bites
at
the
Apple.
My
take
the
whole
apples.
It
used
to
be
Tampa
stadium.
Why
they
used
to
be
the
fact.
I
could
talk
to
you
about
stated
for
two
months
without
taking
a
breath,
but
I'm
just
going
to
cut
it.
Real
short,
170
billion
was
a
cause.
They
don't
care
about
the
interest
across
the
city
of
Tampa
250,000
every
time.
There's
a
game.
There's!
F
No
one
saying
stop
that
the
first
2
million
you
make
off
the
stadium
and
not
football
event,
goes
forward
for
the
owner.
Me,
god
bless
and
after
that,
it's
50/50
the
parking
goes
to
them.
The
revenues
go
to
them.
Everything
goes
to
their.
You
pay
a
little
architecture.
Yes,
sir
stadium,
don't
pay
taxes.
F
There's
more
and
more
than
I
can
tell
you
I
don't
have
time
to
change
the
name.
Here's
the
end
either
supporting
it.
In
fact,
after
they
built
it
the
next
year
they
found
out
whoa.
We
go
5
million
dollars
in
that
little
tax
because
of
the
city,
property
wasn't
in
the
county.
Yet
we
had
to
make
a
motion
to
give
the
county
the
land,
so
there
could
be
zero
tax.
What
a
country!
So
that's
what
it's
all
about?
It's
about
money!
It
ain't
about
anything
else!
It's
all
about!
Taking
you
talking
about
housing!
F
You
talk
about
anything
else.
You
know
how
many
houses
I
could
have
built.
I
could
have
had
the
same
solved,
say
Cobo
a
chokehold
completed
furnished
and
everything,
but
that's
not
the
way.
It
goes.
I
understand
that
and
I'm
not
anti
thing.
Anybody
can
stay
here.
Anybody's
welcome
I,
do
not
vote
for
stadiums,
I,
don't
care
who
you
are.
A
That's
I
am
thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
Obviously,
councilman
Carlson
will
not
be
moving
this
councilman
Scout
code
you're,
the
vice-chair.
Do
you
feel
comfortable
doing
that?
Sir?
Do
we
have
a
second
target?
Ok,
we
have
a
motion
by
Councilman,
Maniscalco
I,
believe
the
second
meant
first
by
councilman
Miranda,
all
in
favor
any
opposed.
A
Thank
you,
ma'am.
Okay,
we're
almost
finished
here
up
until
12:30.
Let
me
mr.
Shelby
indicated
to
me
that
some
staff
was
waiting
for
items.
93,
94
and
95.
B
H
H
Responded
he
looked
up
in
the
file,
responded
and
I'm
pleased
to
report.
They
have
a
goal
of
WME
a
goal
of
30%
yeah,
and
he
said
that
this
projected
this
particular
vendor
is
very
good
about
that
sort
of
thing
and
and
I'm
and
I'm
sure
that
we
will
hold
them
to
that
goal
when
he
told
me
verbally
mark
wilden's
and
I've
trust
him
and-
and
so
I
will
hold
him
to
that
goal
and
get
a
report
as
the
project
proceeds.
I
thought
that
was
great
great
news
and
I'll
be
glad
to
support
those
three
items.
