Description
City of Tarpon Springs Board of Commissioners Regular Session February 2, 2016
A
B
C
D
Emily
father,
we
know
of
your
greatness.
We
see
it
in
nature.
We
see
it
in
the
universe,
father.
We
also
see
it
see
your
hand
on
people,
people
that
you
use
to
fulfill
your
purpose
and
to
make
the
lives
of
others
better.
We
thank
you
for
that
help.
This
group
tonight
this
community,
these
leaders
to
help
others
encourage
others
and
be
examples
to
others
Lord.
In
doing
that,
we
know
you
will
make
all
of
our
lives
better.
D
F
F
This
is
not
the
wild
wild
west.
We
don't
need
people
walking
around
with
guns,
like
I'm
sure,
as
Bob
Galliera
has
spoken
out
in
the
chief
and
some
of
the
police
unions,
if
they
would
speak
out,
it's
a
nightmare
for
them
to
come
to
a
scene,
who's,
the
good
guy
who's,
the
bad
guy-
and
you
know
something
the
people
that
are
advocating
this.
F
E
F
F
F
Know
you
guys
were
put
in
a
position.
No
one
wants
to
say
they're
not
for
the
hospital
and
we've
had
many
issues
with
the
hospital
and
stuff
over
the
years,
but
in
the
parking
lot
of
Helen
Ellis,
there's
flags
for
them.
Supporting
the
lightening
they've
got
billboards
all
over
in
this
stadium
same
thing,
with
the
Rays
same
thing,
with
the
Bucs,
you
see
their
ads
on
TV
they're,
even
self-funding,
a
emergency
room
clinic
down
in
Palm
Harbor.
Did
they
go
to
the
county
and
ask
for
money
for
that?
F
No,
they
come
to
Tarpon
and
they
give
us
the
scare
tactic.
Oh
you
know
we
got
poor
facilities,
we
got
a.
We
got
to
do
this.
We
need
your
help
and
yet,
in
the
meantime,
candidates
speak
about
reducing
reserves,
spending
money
on
senior
and
youth
programs.
This
money
has
to
come
from
somewhere
and
that
money
that
the
hospital
pays
for
their
lease
goes
into
general
funds
can't
have
it
both
ways.
F
E
B
Whereas
two
on
one
serves
as
a
support
system
for
emergency
management
to
help
disseminate
critical
information,
assist
people
through
disasters,
they
provide
a
long-term
connection
to
relief
and
recovery.
Now,
therefore,
I
debut
Archer,
by
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
me
as
mayor
of
City
interest
rates,
Florida
DUI
proclaim,
there
were
11
2000,
16:00
às
next,
two
two
one
one
day
and.
B
G
First
of
all,
again,
my
name
is
Vicki
Thompson
I'm,
the
executive
director
with
two
and
one
Tampa
Bay,
cares,
and
on
behalf
of
our
board,
our
Advisory
Council.
We
have
George
Stephanie's
one
of
our
members,
our
staff,
our
volunteers.
We
want
to
really
thank
mayor
Archie,
as
well
as
all
the
commissioners
and
the
entire
city
of
tarpon
you're,
actually
joining
together
with
about
230
communities
across
the
United.
States
really
recognize
this
stage
to
really
get
the
word
out
to
people
who
need
help
and
don't
know
where
to
turn.
G
Maybe
they're
struggling
with
life
challenges,
financial
struggles,
having
trouble
making
ends
meet
paying
the
rent
electric.
You
can
certainly
call
to
a-1,
and
we
can
help
direct
you
to
resources.
I
wanted
to
just
share
one
brief
program.
We
are
really
trying
to
get
the
word
out
for
adults
without
minor
children.
We
have
partnered
a
pilot
program
with
the
county
to
provide
financial
assistance
for
overdue
rent
eviction,
folks
facing
eviction
and
overdue
utilities,
electric
and
water
that
are
shut
off
to
help
them
out.
G
So
certainly,
there's
some
eligibility
criteria
for
that,
but
those
who
are
really
struggling,
if
you
could
help
us
get
the
word
out
to
our
vulnerable
lot.
We
get
a
lot
of
calls
from
seniors
who
they
can
stay
in
their
home.
So
if
you
could
help
us
with
that
on
this
national
to
one
day
and
of
course,
I
always
ask
people
to
help
celebrate.
If
you
could
tell
somebody
about
two
and
one
who
doesn't
know
about
it,.
G
H
Name
is
Jorge
Stefan,
I'm
retired
from
the
Pinellas
County
Sheriff's
Office
and
was
on
the
board
for
many
years
of
2-1-1
and
not
on
the
advisory
board.
So
as
a
former
law
force,
master
of
course,
contact
with
citizens
of
this
county
and
certainly
tarpon
springs.
This
is
a
wonderful
service.
We
appreciate
the
support,
and
certainly
the
REC
this
evening,
so
essentially
Niki
set
it
on
and
provided
you
an
overview
of
the
service.
But
thank
you
again.
We
appreciate
what
you
all
do
and
the
recognition
tonight.
Thank
you
and.
B
Next
we
have
another
proclamation,
American,
Heart
Month,
and
this
proclamation
reads:
whereas
maintaining
a
strong
heart
is
key
to
a
long,
healthy
life.
The
number
one
killer
of
American
men
and
women
called
cardiovascular
disease
is
responsible
for
one
out
of
every
four
deaths
in
the
United
States,
whereas
doing
American
Heart
Month.
B
We
renew
our
fight
both
as
a
nation
and
in
each
of
our
lives,
is
just
a
devastating
epidemic
of
heart
disease
and
whereas
working
with
the
health
care
provider
can
help
prevent
or
treat
conditions
that
can
lead
to
heart
disease,
whereas
Congress
designated
that
worry,
as
American
Heart
Month
in
1963
to
highlight
the
importance
of
ongoing
fight
against
cardiovascular
disease.
Now,
therefore,
I
David
or
Archie,
by
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
me
as
mayor
City,
Harvest
Rangers,
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
February
2016
is
American.
B
E
B
We
must
acknowledge
and
pay
tribute
to
the
generation
of
our
citizens,
who
struggle
with
adversity,
risk
their
lives
for
justice,
for
the
fight
that
at
times
seem
impossible
to
win
and
persevered
and
continue
to
fight
for
the
quality
and
American
dream.
Whereas
we
see
african-americans
engaged
throughout
our
society
as
friends,
neighbors
scholars,
teachers,
businesspeople,
community
leaders
and
contributors
to
our
quality
of
life
where,
as
Black
History
Month
occurs,
all
of
us
to
come
together,
reflect
on
our
collective
past
and
reveal
its
impact
on
present
conditions.
B
B
B
I
A
Hope
so
because
one
of
the
major
thing
they're,
an
assistance
with,
is
the
mirrors
project
so
with
the
mirrors
project
back
on
and
all
of
the
ink
receipts
with
the
county
of
stuff.
This
is
for
mr.
Dave
Healy
and
we
brought
them
on
board
with
the
mirrors
things,
so,
hopefully
we're
not
using
a
service
that
probably
means
that
the
mirrors
projects
get
stalled
for
the
how
many
times,
but
we
look
like
we're
going
forward.
So
we
wanted
to
keep
in
mind
to
be
ready
and
to
assist
us
with
the
process.
A
I
I
A
That's
the
major
thing:
if
we
had
our
plane
to
have
to
get
involved
into
the
mirrors
project,
we
won't
have
time
for
all
those.
That's
why,
especially
with
expertise-
and
we
know
we
brought
them
in
before-
to
lead
that
project,
so
that
frees
them
up
to
be
able
to
do
those
other
things,
if
mirrors,
hopefully,
for
the
last
time
moves
forward,
and
we
work
on
the
next
year
to
get
that
through
incomplete.
E
F
Peter
lacus
Thank
You
Ryan-
that
was
some
of
the
thoughts
I
had
earlier
about.
If
we're
gonna
spend
that
much
money,
I
know
when
we
had,
you
know,
hit
the
skids
in
oh
nine
and
ten.
We
were
cutting
back
and
we
had
some
staff
leave
and
things
weren't
as
busy,
and
my
question
is
that
1,400
total
permits
in
that
time
frame
were
1,400
more
than
the
same
time
frame
last
year.
That
was
kind
of
confusing.
It
wasn't
sure
about
that.
But
I
understand
the
logic
in
doing
this
and
David
Healy
is
very
highly
respected.
F
So
what
I
would
suggest
to
the
board
is
use
them
for
these
particular
projects
only
and
maybe
bring
someone
in
temporarily
part-time
to
work
on
other
city
issues
with
the
objective
when
these
projects
are
done
and
you
can
phase
the
consultants
out
you'll
have
someone
somewhat
prepared
to
maybe
step
in
as
a
full-time
person
for
that
70
something
thousand
a
year,
and
then
you'll
have
someone
you've
trained
and
brought
in
and
familiar
with
our
codes
and
the
way
things
need
to
be
done
here.
So
when
budget
season
comes,
you
may
want
to
look
back
there.
F
May
be
presently
an
unfunded
position
in
the
planning
department,
I'm,
not
sure
cuz
I
know
in
the
past,
we've
had
positions
that
we
froze
but
didn't
fill.
So
there
may
already
be
an
assistant,
planner
or
plan
or
two
or
one
I'm,
not
sure
the
categories,
but
just
something
to
look
at
and
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
ray.

Resolution

resolution:
the
Board
of
Commissioners
of
the
city
of
Tarpon,
Springs
Florida,
authorizing
changes
in
the
finance
department
organization,
including
revised
job
descriptions,
pay
grades
and
creation
of
new
job
titles
and
providing
for
an
effective
date
here.
Robert's
resolution

by
type
moment.
J
We
had
three
employees
retire
in
the
past
year,
I
I,
don't
remember
the
last
time
we've
had
so
many
retired
I
guess
the
same
one,
one
of
the
things
that
now
I'm
one
I'm,
the
oldest
person
in
there
right
now.
So
over
the
past
year,
we've
been
really
waiting,
the
positions,
their
job
descriptions,
the
overall
structure
of
the
finance
department.
With
the
retirements
we
thought
it
was
a
good
time
to
look
at
these
positions,
their
duties,
job
descriptions
and
the
structure
of
the
finance
department.
J
J
The
proposed
the
finance
structure
provides
that
the
one
I
proposed
has
a
more
later'd
structure
within
the
departments
with
the
grades.
This
structure
is
also
one
that
will
cover
the
department
I
believe
for
years
to
come.
You
know
pass
my
retirement
probably,
but
this
reorganization
also
has
a
net
savings
of
seven
hundred
and
sixty
nine
dollars.
A
major
changes
to
the
reorganization
is
the
accounting
managers.
Formerly
senior
staff
accountant
payroll
coordinator
is
formerly
payroll.
Specialist
accounting
coordinator
is
formerly
accounting.
Specialist
counting
specialist
is
formerly
accounting.
Payroll
specialists
in
the
accounting
technician
is
formerly
accounting,
Clark.
J
This
is
a
flowchart
of
the
structure
of
the
finance
department.
On
the
bottom,
you
see
the
current
financial
structure
and
on
the
top,
is
a
proposed
finance
structure
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
accounting
technicians
are
now
grade:
12,
counting
specialists,
great
14,
the
County
coordinator
and
payroll
coordinator
grades
15,
and
now
we
have
the
accounting
manager
at
grade
21,
the
assistant
finance,
director,
very
25,
and
then
over
to
the
side.
We
have
the
finance
budget
analysts
at
grade
17
and
then
the
finance
director
at
grade
28.
J
This
next
slide
shows
the
funding
for
the
position
based
on
the
finance
structure
and
on
the
left
is
the
finance
structure
as
it
currently
is,
and
on
the
right
is
with
these
changes
in
the
reorg
as
a
proposed
finance
structure.
There's
what
what's
in
this
reorganization
here
and
on
the
far
right,
isn't
that
increased
decrease
of
all
these
changes
in
the
reorganization
and
then
down
on
the
bottom
right
is
the
net
savings
of
769
dollars?
That's
all
I
have
for
now
I'm
open
for
any
questions.
I.
B
Really
don't
have
any
questions
I'll
just
say
that
you
know
I.
Thank
you
for
having
the
vision
to
look
at
reorganization
doing
that
time,
change
any
way
to
help
that
department
operate
better.
It's
been
one
open,
they
always
hate
to
say
it.
I
just
use
this
one,
all
our
stronger
departments
and
that's
what
it's
helped
us
to
be
to
be
fiscally
all
viable
doing
times
where
other
cities
were
struggling
and
I
know
that
was
the
president
directed
to
your
help
and
leadership
and
all
the
others
that
was
there
so
I.
J
J
M
M
J
M
J
I
really
I,
don't
like
going
over
the
midpoint
when
I'm
hiring
somebody
new
it
yeah.
That's
part
of
the
reason
to
go
with
the
Accounting
Manager
position.
Formerly
was
a
senior
staff
accountant.
Every
time
the
last
two
people
we
tried
to
fill
that
we
hired
it
at
the
maximum
of
the
of
that
sour
and
it
just
I,
don't
think
that's
a
good
thing
to
do
for
the
city
or
that
person
in
that
position.
J
That's
why
we
thought
that
we
needed
a
raise
that
grade,
maybe
attract
more
people
to
apply
to
that
position
and
come
in
and
plus
we're
asking
them
and
do
a
few
more
duties
too.
So
that
position
really
will
be
the
backup
for
the
assistant,
finance
director
and
really
know,
probably
hopefully,
that
I
know
the
assistant
finance
director
and
be
able
to
fill
in
for
that.
For
us.

this
item
is
a
renewal
of
a
meter
reading
agreement
with
Harbor
watch
that
we
had
approved
back
in
2011
and
it's
a
five-year
agreement,
so
we're
coming
up
on
that
deadline
this
month.
So
it's
something
we
went
back
with
Harbor
watch
and
with
any
type
of
homeowners
association.
It's
a
volunteer
type
of
organization,
so
there
was
some
new
people
there
and
I
was
pleased
to
see
that
they
weren't

challenge
the
original

A
This
is
something
we've
been
working
on
a
long
time,
probably
since
the
last
project
and
a
lot
of
people
weren't
happy
with
just
being
able
put
the
crepe
myrtles
on
an
alternate
19,
so
maybe
been
from
that
or
longer.
But
the
good
news
is:
we've
been
having
some
good
cooperation
with
F
T
of
T.
They
knew
the
importance
with
all
the
beautification
x'.
You
can
see
in
the
town
what
we've
done
landscaping
wise.
We
saw
what
happened
on
us
19
a
project
we've
been
working
a
long
time,
this
one's
simply
a
win-win.
A
First
of
all,
they're
gonna
give
us
just
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
do
the
new
landscaping,
and
we
agree
after
that
to
maintain
it.
You
can
see
in
the
agreement
we've
got
a
submitted
plan.
We've
already
submitted
them
some
concepts
for
tentative
approval.
Before
they
gave
this
to
us,
we
will
be
bringing
back
the
final
plan,
we're
gonna
submit
to
them.
The
Commission
will
be
showing
you
some.
You
know
what
our
proposes
for
you
look
at
make
some
adjustments,
although
realizing
the
adjustments
has
to
be
approved
by
them.
A
So
after
we
approved
this
tonight,
we'll
put
our
final
product
together,
we'll
bring
it
to
the
board.
The
commissioner
we'll
get
final
approval
on
that
from
you,
then
we'll
submit
it
to
them,
get
the
okay
and
then
again
we'll
be
installing
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
worth
of
landscaping
that
that
they
will
pay
for,
and
we
will
take
over
and
maintain
it
from
that
time.
B
B
M
You
yeah
August
and
support
the
project.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
when
you
bring
it
back
to
the
Commission
there's
adequate
time,
if
the
Commission
does
have
any
comments
and
I
understand
that
the
plan
is
restricted
to
approval.
So
I
get
that.
But
let's
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
going
to
be
enough
time
that
there
were.
M
A
M
A
C
A
You'll
be
in
the
final
decision-making
process
of
seeing
what
we
have
and
then
because
we've
got
a
range.
We
pretty
much
know
what
they'll
proven
or
they'll
not
prove
so
we'll
kind
of
have
that
there
for
you,
here's
what
it
looks
like,
but
here's
the
other
kind
of
things
that
they
would
already
suggests
they
would
approve
here
are
the
things
we're
not
going
to
get
so.
There's
no
sense,
even
asking
around
we'll.
A
To
you,
and
as
we've
done
with
the
other
project,
you
made
some
changes
of
types
of
trees.
Types
of
lands
you'll
have
the
full
opportunity
to
make
that
and
do
that
before.
We
still
be
your
product
that
you
submit
to
there
would
time
to
make
those
changes
and
request
those
things
from
the
list
that
they
kind
of
gave
us
the
tentative
okay
that
they'll
go
for.
M
M
J
From
what
I
understand
there
was
this
going
to
be
I
think
expensed
either
out
of
the
non-departmental
in
the
general
fund
it
just
based
on
the
money
was
going
to
be
reimbursed.
It
was
I
think
when
you're
getting
into
the
tree
bank,
you
have
to
make
some
certain
qualifications
to
get
the
money
out
of
the
tree.
Bay.
M
K
L
O
O
Home
Rule
is
the
power
of
a
local
municipality
to
set
up
its
own
system
of
governing
and
local
ordinances
without
being
governed
by
the
stage
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
and
that's
what
I
think
we're
dealing
with
in
this
situation
and
that's
why
I
asked
that
this
resolution
be
placed
on
the
agenda
and
I
hope
everybody
would
be
willing
to
support
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Yeah
man,
I
guess
I
just
want
to
thank
vice
mayor
for
bringing
this
for
them.
As
he
said,
it's
irrelevance.
What
the
issue
is
a
home
rule
is
very
important
and
a
time
we
can
preserve
our
our
options
and
make
our
laws
with
state
laws
and
capture
the
most
influence
over
what's
around
us.
It's
very
important
and
I
would
like
this.
B
F
E
F
There's
some
logic
to
that,
but
don't
restrict
us
from
further
restricting
or
protecting
our
resources,
and
we
do
have
an
investment
in
this
50
million
dollars.
And
let
me
tell
you
why
it's
a
bigger
investment,
because
if
they
do
fracking
and
it
messes
up
the
water
plant,
where
we
can't
use
it,
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
is
held
liable
for
the
bonds
to
pay
that
we'll
be
paying
for
that
plant
for
years
and
not
getting
a
drop
of
water.
K
B
L
You
mr.
mayor
commissioners,
you've
seen
my
memorandum
dated
January
27,
the
firm's
present
agreement
expired
on
January,
26
or
January.
19Th.
Excuse
me
that
that
agreement
was
a
little
bit
foggy
as
to
its
expiration
date,
but
given
the
three-year
escalation
and
fees
on
the
hourly
portion
of
it,
I
think
it's
better
perceived
as
three
years
I
very
much
like
to
continue
on
a
city
attorney
and
so
I
proposed
the
contract.
That's
before
you,
the
only
thing
that
really
changes
is
the
is
the
hourly
rates
we
did.
L
We
do
rate
studies
periodically
in
the
firm
and
as
I've
written
in
my
memo.
Our
last
one
was
in
late
2014
about
15
months
ago,
and
and
we've
known
this
for
a
long
time,
hourly
rates
are,
are
simply
low.
Part
of
that
has
to
do
with
the
fact
that
John
Hubbard
was
good
at
so
so
so
many
things.
However,
the
business
of
the
law
practice
was
not
among
his
top
priorities.
L
All
time
so
I
found
it
in
the
cities
where
John
was
was
practicing,
our
rates
were
historically
low,
and
so
we
we've
tried
to
over
period
a
long
period
of
years,
sort
of
get
those
to
not
set
the
market
but
to
be
competitive
within
the
market.
So
I
am
proposing,
as
we
did
in
our
last
agreement
under
Jim
iacovone,
an
escalator
from
145
presently
to
165
and
2018
on
our
early
work
happen
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
I.
B
B
F
Sorry
to
cheers
out,
but
as
a
discussion
I
would
think.
You'd
want
to
have
a
little
more
facts
to
discuss
other
than
mr.
DiNozzo
request
for
a
raise
one.
He
mentions
a
survey
well
provide
that
survey,
or
maybe
we
have
some
data
in
contacting
other
cities
and
municipalities
that
are
non
trust.
They
know
to
see
what
comparable
firms
charge
and,
as
mr.
Deano
mentioned,
you're
with
this
firm
through
historical
perspective,
mr.
Hubbard
originally
came
and
then
passed
it
on
to
mr.
iacovone
and
now
we're
mr.
F
to
know
and
Trask
and
I
don't
deny
that
they
don't
do
valuable
services.
That's
not
the
point
here.
What
I
would
say
at
this
point
is
that
maybe
it's
time
for
the
city
to
put
out
an
RFP,
or
at
least
at
this
point,
if
you're
discussing
and
looking
for
facts
to
see
what
other
firms
are
available
or
other
groups
that
would
provide
similar
services
at
comparable
or
competitive
costs,
you're
trying
to
save
money,
that's
part
of
our
process.
F
You
have
a
very
good
staff,
Jay
and
everybody.
They
know
how
to
do
all
this,
and
maybe
it's
time
to
start
looking
at
this.
It
was
about
five
years
ago,
at
one
point,
we
were
looking
as
to
whether
even
to
maintain
an
outside
firm
versus
hiring
our
own
attorney
in
if
one
of
the
things
I
would
have
wanted
to
see
or
would
like
to
see
before
it
came
to
vote,
is
in
these
last
three
years.
What
have
we
paid
him
other
than
the
72,000?
F
B
C
B
Say
that,
from
my
perspective
or
just
looking
at
this
and
we're
looking
at
a
$10
increase,
it's
for
hourly
all
right
to
me
doesn't
justify
seeing
let's
go
out
for
an
hour
of
heat.
Let's
look
for
another
attorney,
just
because
they're
out
there,
one
thing
I
like
is
that
you
know
I,
don't
think
that,
because
of
the
advice
of
our
attorney,
we
know
extraordinary
lawsuits,
those
type
of
things
I
look
at
the
history
of
the
relationship
that
we've
had
not
with
our
harbors
but
with
Jim.
B
Looking
at
what's
presented
to
us
from
that
perspective,
you
know,
I,
just
don't
believe
that
you
just
go
out
to
RFP,
just
because
you
save
$2,
especially
two
dollars
that
might
cost
you
a
lot
of
dollars
and
if
you're
gonna
have
anything
to
me.
If
I'm
sitting
up
here
off
anybody
else
here,
I
think
you
want
to
have
an
attorney
that
you
can
trust.
You
believe
that
it's
going
to
give
you
this
best
possible
advice,
do
the
best
that
you
can
as
far
as
moving
ahead
and
that's
the
way
I've
looked
at
it
win
either.
B
Mr.
Hubbell
was
here
or
any
of
the
other
attorneys
that
has
represented
him
and
even
predate
mr.
Harbor,
that
you
need
to
have
an
attorney
that
you
can
trust,
not
one.
That's
the
cheapest
that
you
can
find
I
think
that
when
the
Commission
went
through
that
exercise
of
seeing
whether
we
should
do
it
in-house
another
way
to
do
it,
that's
what
basically
came
back
is
that
you
won't.
You
want
good
advice,
so
that's
my
perspective.
I
just
say
that,
because
we
haven't
said
a
lot
about.
O
Bring
any
numbers
with
me,
and-
and
maybe
it
would
have
been
nice
if
it
was
in
the
backup,
but
during
my
time
on
this
board,
I
paid
very
close
attention
to
the
money
that
we
spent
on
with
our
city
attorney
and
former
Commissioner
Galactus
did
bring
up
that.
We
had
looked
at
possibly
changing
things
up
from
the
attorneys
standpoint
five
years
ago.
One
of
the
things
that
did
come
out
of
that.
That
exercise
was
that
and
I
believe
it
was
mr.
O
yak
bone
is
at
the
time
we
really
more
clearly
and
definitively
spelled
out
what
was
covered
by
the
retainer
and
what
was
not
covered
by
the
retainer
and
again
I.
Don't
have
the
numbers
with
me
today,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
the
amount
of
money
that
we
were
spending
through
the
city
attorney
was
reduced
dramatically
and
I
mean
dramatically
I
think
we
really
have
a
very
fair
system
now,
with
with
our
with
our
current
agreement
that
we
have
in
place
and
that's
why
I
didn't
have
any
any
problems
with
with
this
agenda
item.
O
C
We
don't
have
those
kind
of
assets
and
I
think
we're
much
better
spent
retain
at
least
from
what
I
can
tell
one
of
the
best
legal
firms
in
the
in
the
bay
area.
So
we
have
access
to
the
entire
firms,
resources
and
not
just
one
attorney
that
we
have
one
staff
with
having
that's
my
perspective
when
I'm,
when
I'm,
when
I'm
looking
at
improving
this
thing.
Thank.
B
B
It
was
I
just
like
to
tell
everybody
you
know
the
mayor's
fitness
challenge
is
ongoing.
I
know,
y'all
can
see
this
tremendous
change
in
my
physique,
but
I
think
you
know
it's
still
not
too
late
to
get
involved
and
we're
having
a
lot
of
fun.
Sometimes
some
of
the
things
that
they
haven't
us
do
with
me.
Do
I'm,
not
they're
appreciative
of,
but
hopefully
the
work
to
my
good
or
the
other
thing
is
just
just
a
point
of
excitement.
B
Life
or
for
me
is
that
we've
had
a
chance
to
connect
with
some
of
the
previous
Super
Bowl
winners.
You
know:
Super
Bowl,
the
Sunday
and
they've
been
giving
out
these
gold
balls
to
form
of
Super
Bowl
participants,
and
we've
been
fortunate
that
three
former
tarpon
High
students
have
going
to
the
Super
Bowl
and
one
so
on
Thursday
at
6
o'clock.
We've
gotten
in
contact
with
two
of
them
I
know
is
gonna.
Be
that
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
third
ones
there
to
present
the
gold
ball
in
the
tarp
and
hi.
B
You
know
I'm
especially
proud,
being
a
former
sponger
to
know
that
we
got
three
individuals
that
actually
not
only
went
to
the
NFL.
Both
wonder
the
Super
Bowl,
so
Thursday
at-6
out
at
the
high
school
should
be
a
fun
of
fear.
You
know
for
us
as
a
city
and
not
our
school
too.
So
with
that
we'll
adjourn
at.
