C
E
Evening,
Anita
Protus
901
bayshore
drive
a
few
weeks
ago.
There
was
an
article
in
the
newspaper
about
community
south
of
us
who
went
after
BP
funds.
Here
are
some
of
the
questions
I
have
for
my
city
government.
Why
did
we
not
file
for
BP
funding?
We
are
a
sponging
fishing,
shrimping
community,
plus
a
waterfront
tourist
destination.
We
also
have
two
beautiful
beaches
on
the
Gulf.
Was
it
I'd
like
to
know?
E
Was
the
issue
brought
before
the
commission
and
was
there
a
vote
taken
by
the
board
to
do
not
pursue
the
funding
which
was
available
or
was
a
consensus
taken
never
before
the
board?
If
this
was
the
way
it
was
decided
it's
wrong?
The
issue
should
have
been
on
agenda
item
where
a
discussion
could
have
been
at
a
commission
meeting
and
citizens
could
have
had
an
input.
What
was
the
analysis
to
not
pursue
funding
and
whose
analysis
was
it?
We
well
qualified
being
mirror
a
few.
E
Many
few
years
ago,
I
still
have
friends
down
in
the
counties
and
communities
south
of
us
safety,
harbor,
Dunedin
Clearwater,
the
beaches.
Further
down
got
funding,
not
tarpon
springs.
I
have
talked
to
many
individuals,
and
some
of
the
comments
have
been.
Why
didn't
tarpon
go
after
money?
They
would
have
gotten
a
lot
had
we
gone
after
funding,
we
would
have
received
quite
a
bit
of
money.
E
I
have
heard
from
some
attorneys
who
had
worked
on
the
BP
funding
and
we
would
have
at
least
had
the
money
to
do
the
dredging,
I
believe
of
the
end
quote.
We
would
have
won
big
in
tarpon
springs.
I
know
there
are
businesses
here
in
town
that
went
after
funding
on
their
own
and
they
received
quite
a
bit
of
money
and
good
for
them.
E
I
am
disheartened
that
we
didn't
go
after
this
money
which
could
have
easily
been
ours
when
they
even
came
to
doctors,
offices
and
lawyers
offices
in
floor
saying
come
after
BP
funding
because
you
are
on
the
water
and
it's
available.
That's
a
fact,
and
you
can't
dispute
it.
We
lost
out
big
time
also
for
the
fourth
time
and
again,
no
answer.
I've
come
before
this
board
about
election
codes.
I
believe,
as
was
in
the
newspaper
safety,
harbor,
Clearwater,
osmar,
say,
p
plus
smaller
community
south
of
us
down
on
the
beaches,
have
worked
with
a
mr.
E
bill,
I
believe
his
name
to
our
attorneys
mr.
bryanston
from
Jacksonville.
Yes,
it
makes
the
fee,
but
he
works
with
communities
of
all
different
sizes
to
have
good
election
rules
and
regulations
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
this
I
don't
ever
want
to
see.
Tarpon
springs,
trashed
and
I,
say
trashed
with
campaign
signs,
as
we
did
with
the
last
election
at
Christmastime
and
epiphany
I.
Don't
want
to
see
our
community
trashed
with
other
outside
elections
at
the
same
time
coming
and
putting
signs
everywhere
on
fences
on
buildings,
and
they
would
have
to
be
taken
down.
E
The
rules
and
regulations
for
a
better
election
would
also
help
our
clerks
off
office.
Excuse
me,
and
all
of
those
who
are
running
for
election
I
spoke
to
mr.
Trask
and
I'm
speaking
to
our
attorney.
Also
tonight
it
can
be
done,
and
this
gentleman
out
of
Jacksonville
is
an
expert
in
this,
according
to
some
attorneys,
and
he
could
do
a
lot
of
good
service
of
Tarpon
Springs
to
help
us,
so
we
never
again
go
through
what
we
went
the
last
time,
I'm
asking
the
city
to
at
least
look
into
it.
E
We
need
to
do
something
with
our
election
codes
and
rules
and
regulations
so
that
we
can
keep
our
community
in
order
and
run
a
very
professional
fine
campaign
at
election
time.
These
are
the
two
issues
are
bring
before
you.
I
will
not
come
back
with
the
codes.
This
is
the
fourth
time.
If
you
want
to
ignore
it,
you
can,
but
it
will
fall
back
on
you
and
bite
you
in
the
back
in
coming
elections.
I
can
guarantee
that
and
for
the
BP
money
it
was
a
great
just.
E
F
C
G
F
This
election
season
was
interesting
for
many
aspects
and
as
many
people
I
was
kind
of
shocked
by
the
outcome,
but
not
surprised
not
surprised.
If
you
look
at
the
map
of
the
US
and
see
who
took
which
states
there's
a
huge
amount
of
America
that
does
feel
left
out
and
to
me
so
much
of
that
is
corporatization
corporatization
and
were
past
the
point
of
not
being
global
because
we
all
depend
on
each
other
in
this
world.
But
I
just
want
to
say
at
this
point
that
we
do
have
a
great
country.
F
We
allow
people
to
speak
their
mind,
yet
we
accept
what
the
vote
of
the
populace
has
brought
us.
This
is
second
time
in
my
lifetime
and
then
probably
for
many
of
you
that
a
president
has
been
elected
by
an
electoral
college
and
not
by
the
popular
vote
gore
and
now
Hilary,
so
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
that
issue.
But
the
point
is:
is
our
system
is
set
up?
We
follow
that
process
and
we
all
need
to
work
for
the
common
good
of
America.
F
Let
things
happen
and
then,
when
an
issue
comes
up
that
you
specifically
have
whether
it's
planned
parenthood,
whether
it's
the
Clean
Water
Act
and
letting
the
Dakota
pipeline
go
through
whether
it's
loosening
up
regulations
for
fracking.
Whatever
your
issue,
maybe
immigration,
health
insurance.
If
that's
your
issue,
then
put
your
focus
on
that.
F
But
I
would
have
to
say
that
I'm
proud
that
we
do
have
a
country
that
we
will
move
forward
and
I
think
with
most
of
us
in
the
real
world
being
somewhat
reasonable.
We
can
find
ways
to
bridge
our
gaps
and
work
together
and
I,
just
have
to
say
god,
Bless,
America
and
I'm
glad
I
live
here.
Thank
you
Thank.
C
H
H
In
fact,
we
had
a
major
story
from
one
of
those
forbes
magazine
or
some
major
mags
in
New
York,
talking
about
the
integrity
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
for
not
going
after
the
money
they
weren't
do
big
articles
locally,
you'll,
see
articles
when
you,
google,
about
some
of
these
lawyers
who
are
making
thirty
and
forty
and
fifty
percent,
whatever
they're,
making
off
cities
and
putting
together
their
numbers
you'll
see
they
criticize
this
I'm.
All
that's
been
well
documented
and
then
about
a
year
year
and
a
half
ago.
H
H
H
I
can
answer
that
too,
because
the
city
in
attorney
and
I
have
been
discussion
about
our
sign,
ordinance
and
all
the
different
things
and
I
do
have
money
set
aside
the
possibly
we've
been
talking
about
them.
The
progress
maybe
can
update
stuff
of
getting
that
attorney
from
Jacksonville.
It's
in
the
process
of
trying
to
get
him
get
a
price
from
him,
and
not
a
look
at
that.
But
we
got
a
lot
of
elements
of
our
sign
coding
stuff
to
look
at
and
he
is
you're
right.

the

that,

The

is

C
J
Thank
You
mayor
commissioners,
Karen
lemons,
economic
development
manager
and
I'm
pleased
to
introduce
the
economic
impact
study
that
was
prepared
by
PMG
associates
and
phil
and
kathy
egan
over
here
tonight.
As
you
know,
we
commissioned
this
study
in
order
to
assess
the
overall
economic
impact
of
the
marine,
commerce
and
tourism
industries,
as
we
have
been
working
on
the
ankle,
River
dredge
project
and
knowing
that
we
needed
to
have
some
hard
data,
as
we
were
going
out
to
secure
funding
for
the
project
from
the
county
and
state
levels.
So
the
the
study
was
was
commissioned.
J
It
assesses
both
the
marine
Commerce
and
the
tourism
areas,
so,
in
addition
to
being
able
to
use
this
information
for
the
dredge
project,
we're
also
contains
a
lot
of
useful
data
that
we
can
use
for
our
overall
economic
development
efforts.
Things
like
our
north
and
cold
river
planning
area
attracting
new
businesses,
especially
in
the
marine
commerce
area,
and
obviously
our
hotel
attraction
efforts.
We
finally
have
some
tourism
data
that
is
specific
to
the
city
and
not
just
Pinellas
County.
J
So
to
that
end,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
marine
Commerce
Committee,
this
report
was
presented
to
them
at
their
meeting
earlier
this
month.
I
see
Joan
here
and
chairman
Kline
Harris
is
here
they
were
very
thoughtful
in
looking
at
the
study.
I
also
want
to
thank
all
the
businesses
in
the
city
that
participated
either
online,
written
surveys,
telephone
surveys
and
face-to-face
interviews.
We
have
a
very
good
response
rate
from
our
businesses
and,
as
obviously
it
benefits
them,
but
I
want
to
thank
all
the
businesses
that
participated
in
the
study
as
well.
K
The
study,
the
purpose
of
it
I
think,
as
Karen
had
mentioned,
was
to
measure
the
economic
impact
of
the
marine,
commerce
and
tourism
industries
and
obviously
the
reason
their
combined
in
his
study
is
there
so
intertwined
in
this
particular
community.
But
if
you
see
through
the
report,
we
provided
numbers
for
them
individually
because
there
are
competing
interests
there.
So
we
didn't
want
to
mix
them.
So
we
made
sure
that
we
completed
something
that
that
was
able
to
generate
it
for
everyone.
K
K
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
were
able
to
collect
them
the
information
for
how
they
operated
their
individual
business,
and
we
guarantee
their
anonymity
in
this
because
we're
not
here
publishing
the
the
financial
records
of
any
of
your
business,
but
they
were
all
done
in
aggregate
as
you
can
see
in
the
report.
So
what
we
did
is
several
different
ways.
We
contacted
all
of
the
businesses
within
that
marine
commerce
tourism-related
type
of
activity
in
a
community.
We
also
wanted
to
make
sure
we
talked
to
directly
to
toris,
because
that
was
a
big
expenditure.
K
We
met.
People
on
the
streets
ask
them
about
their
purpose,
their
motivations
for
being
in
town,
what
they
were
doing
here,
what
was
in
here
and
how
much
importantly,
they
were
spending,
and
we
looked
through
those
particular
analysis
to
make
sure
we
were
able
to
break
down
everything
into
all
its
finest
details.
K
We
actually
were
able
to
contact
initially
over
160
businesses
directly
covering
the
full
gamut
from
food,
restaurants,
retail
the
marine
industries
and
including
the
hotel
motel
in
commercial
real
estate,
because
they're
all
involved
in
this
particular
analysis.
We
contact
them
directly,
followed
it
up
for
those
that
didn't
respond
immediately.
We
did
have
some
other
sources,
but
we
made
sure
that
we
covered
everything
as
best
as
we
could-
and
you
see
this
map
here,
just
gives
you
the
idea
where
the
concentration
of
those
businesses
are
in
the
city.
K
The
surveys.
Again,
there
was
the
business
survey
which
was
directly
related
to
each
of
those
individual
operators
of
those
160
enterprises.
There
was
one
at
hotels
people
in
the
morning
and
breakfast
talking
to
them
of
why?
They're
there
at
the
hotels,
the
generalist
tourister
survey,
we
met
people
what's
called
a
direct
intercept
on
the
streets
there
at
the
docks
and
also
the
weekend
we
did.
It
was
the
first
Friday,
so
we
didn't
meet
some
people
in
the
downtown
area
and
then
we
supplemented
by
outside
sources.
Hoover's
is
one
that
has
gives
commercial
data
for
businesses.
K
Now
for
the
marine
commerce
industries
themselves,
what
we
measure
is
called
throughput
throughput
is
basically
the
activity
of
any
kind
of
enterprise
what
they
spend
with
their
employees,
what
they
buy
with
services,
their
supplies
all
those
particular
points
and
for
the
marine
enterprise,
which
includes
things
like
the
boat
building,
the
supplies,
the
commercial
fisherman,
the
processing
all
of
those
activities.
The
direct
annual
throughput
is
46
million
dollars
a
year.
K
Then
there's
the
food
processing,
which
is
the
fish
themselves
through
their
brought
in
sent
out
others
types
of
things.
That's
another
twelve
point:
eight
million
dollars
annually
for
those
activities,
but
that's
not
all
of
the
numbers.
You
hear
a
lot
economists
we
like
to
use
words
that
never
buddy,
no
one
else
will
will
use
and
one
is
called
the
multiplier
and
the
multiplier
measures
the
full
effect
of
any
business
activity.
K
Just
for
example,
if
you
go
to
a
store
and
you
pay
your
bill,
you
go
to
a
grocery
store,
they
pay
their
employees,
those
employees
go
out,
they
pay
their
suppliers,
they
go
out
and
buy
additional
things.
So
what
you
do
is
you
look
at
that
measurement
throughout
and
that's
what
the
multiplier
effect
is.
So
when
you
take
that
total
with
a
fifty
eight
point,
eight
million
and
add
a
multiplier,
it
comes
out
to
98.6
million
dollars
a
year
just
from
the
marine
Commerce.
K
And
we
look
at
tourism,
there
are
basically
two
types
of
tourists
overnight:
visitors
and
day
visitors,
pretty
simple
one
will
stay
in
your
hotel
is
overnight.
You
have
a
lot
of
day
visitors
here,
people
come
in
for
the
festivals,
but
there
it's
nice
if
they
could
stay
overnight,
but
they
come
in.
They
go
to
the
restaurants,
they
buy
things
here
and
they
contribute
to
your
particular
economic
endeavors,
and
so
I'd
includes
the
hotels
and
motels
that's
bed
and
breakfast
as
well.
It's
not
just
the
larger
ones.
It's
anyone
that
it
gives
your
accommodations
overnight.
K
There's
retail
spending!
You
spend
a
lot
of
money,
I've
SAT
there
and
watched
a
lot
of
the
cash
registers
ago
over
on
at
the
docks
restaurants,
sometimes
nine
o'clock
at
night
there's
people
waiting
outside
to
get
into
the
restaurants.
That's
the
activity
that
we're
talking
about.
If
we
look
at
the
total
throughput
of.
K
K
K
Now
the
good
thing
is
they
hire
people
I
mean
that's
the
reason
you
want
to
promote
businesses,
they
hire
the
people
that
live
here
and
we
gain.
We
looked
at
the
numbers
in
terms
of
the
generation
of
employment,
of
direct
and
indirect,
from
marine
commerce
and
tourism
industries,
and
that's
total
of
over
2,400
people
who
live
and
work
in
tarpon
springs,
and
the
important
part
is
we'll
talk
about
later.
That's
over
twenty
one
percent
of
your
total
workforce,
which
means
that's
how
important
and
integral
they
are
to
your
community.
K
Now,
normally,
we
don't
look
at
future
development
and
the
reason
is
it's
speculative
and
we
did
not
put
numbers
on
these
two
items-
large
boat
repair
in
a
hotel,
but
it
would
be
wrong
to
ignore
them.
There
were
at
least
three
of
the
people
that
we
talked
to.
Who
said
that
if
the
river
was
dredged
and
they
could
get
larger
boats
in
here,
they
would
put
in
a
lift
and
do
large
boat
repair,
we'll
all
three
of
them
come
to
fruition
hard
to
say,
but
one
of
them
would
be
good
and
I
think
they
are.
K
Those
people
are
well
enough
financed
that
they
could
bring
that
project
to
bear
the
other
in
terms
of
putting
together
the
old
Riverfront,
whoever
you
like
to
a
hotel,
that's
a
distinct
possibility.
But
again
that
is
more
speculative
because
you
have
more
work
to
do
and
you
don't
have
it's
not
as
easy
to
cover.
K
One
of
the
other
things
we
looked
at
was
the
quality
of
life.
That
was
something
that
was
requested
in
the
RFP,
and
we
looked
at
the
number
of
festivals,
the
arts
events
and
there's
a
tremendous
support
for
the
Arts
in
this
community.
One
of
the
days
when
we
were
here
in
town
I
struck
up
a
conversation
with
somebody
at
breakfast
and
they
were
in
town
to
attend
their
granddaughters
dance.
Recital
the
granddaughter
didn't
live
in
this
community.
K
They
came
in
from
the
other
side
of
Florida,
but
they
came
from
cincinnati
to
tarpon
springs
for
a
dance
recital
that's
as
wide
as
your
expansion
goes
and
I.
Think
that's
something
that
you
not
probably
want
to
play
on
that
there
is
more
of
that,
so
it
would
be
nice
to
have
them
come
in
for
the
dance
recital.
K
But
maybe
stay
a
couple
of
days
for
two
one
of
the
things
we
looked
as
obstacles
is:
are
there
real
obstacles
to
continuation
or
expansion
of
the
marine
Commerce,
and
we
looked
at
those
issues
that
really
are
important
and
one
is
transportation.
You
all
know
because
you
tried
to
drive
on
on
US
19.
There
are
some
times
a
day.
K
It's
a
little
tough
okay,
we've
also
looked
at
alternative
19
and
those
difficulties,
but
we
were
able
to
go
and
get
collect
the
data
from
the
NPO
The
Bachelor,
Product,
Planning
Organization,
and
there
are
improvements
being
planned
and
I
would
recommend
that
they
try
to
synchronize
the
lights.
That
would
be
something
I
think
would
be
very
helpful,
but
certainly
there
are
things
in
works:
improve
the
transportation.
There
is
competition
apalachicola,
but
further
down
in
from
Tampa
and
st.
Pete
area,
but
you've
got
a
very
well-established
marine
commerce
industry
here.
K
The
other
thing
that
we
work
look
at
in
an
economic
view
is
the
workforce.
Do
you
have
enough
people
to
do
the
jobs
that
you
need
to
do?
The
answer
is
yes
and
the
other
point
is
you
need
to
train
some
people?
Yes,
you
have
right
down.
The
street.
You've
got
a
training
facility
vocational
training,
so
you
can
gain
bring
in
the
employment
that
you
need
in
terms
of
where
you
sit
with
Pinellas
County
Pinellas
County
has
this
over
6
million
overnight
visitors
a
year.
K
It's
about
200,000
here
in
tarpon
springs,
which
is
about
three
percent,
but
that's
because
you
don't
have
any
more
hotel,
motel
rooms,
so
that's
a
disadvantage
there.
But
when
you
look
at
the
day
visitors,
it's
eleven
percent
of
the
day
visitors
who
come
to
Pinellas
County
come
to
tarpon
springs.
These
are
the
numbers
that
that
generate
it
and
just
for
some
possible
lobbying
purposes
in
the
future.
The
bed
tax
generated
in
tarpon
springs
is
over
four
hundred
fifty
three
thousand
dollars
a
year.
K
The
value
in
of
the
fish
landed
in
tarpon
springs
is
fifty-six
percent
of
the
total
value
in
Pinellas
County.
So
what
happens
is
this
is
a
major
place
in
terms
of
bringing
in
that
particular
enterprise
into
the
county
and
into
the
state
and
our
conclusion
annual
impact
direct
and
indirect
252
million
dollars
a
year
24
hundred
jobs,
which
is
twenty
one
percent
of
the
total
work
force
city?
That's
all
I
have
for
you
present
any
questions,
I'll
be
glad
to
help
well.
C
C
You,
some
of
the
numbers
that
you
are
you
provide
us
is
I
was
expecting
that
it's
going
to
be
favorable,
but
not
the
favorable
be
honest
with
you,
but
as
you
indicated
that
the
the
waterfront
industry
and
tourism
is
the
largest
contributor
that
we
have
in
tarpor
spring
in
regards
to
our
local
economy,
you
also
said
that
the
total
impact
is
252
million
dollars
which
provides
them
with
close
to
two
and
a
half
thousand
jobs.
That's
that's
huge.
C
The
fishing
industry
provides
252
million
dollars.
Fifty
six
percent
of
all
the
fish
comes
from
Tarpon
Springs.
Now
that's
will
be
a
contributor
there
as
well,
but
you
also
point
out
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
have,
that
we
need
to
have
a
hotel
near
the
water,
because
you
mentioned
that
the
overnight
visitors-
or
it's
only
three
point
three
percent
of
the
Pinellas
County.
So
that's
something
that
we
must
have
work
on
and
bring
a
hotel
to
the
near
the
water.
C
The
other
challenge
that
you
pointed
out
was
the
road
improvements
and
transportation.
I
believe
that
we,
as
you
know,
we
have
three
business
communities
here
in
Tarpon,
Springs,
the
US
19
the
downtown
and
the
springs
ducks.
We
need
to
find
a
way
to
connect
those.
We
must
find
a
way
to
transport
visitors
from
one
location
to
another.
C
That's
going
to
help
us
with
the
parking
situation
as
well,
where
people
can
park
it
down
at
the
docks
and
it
can
come
to
downtown
and
do
their
shopping
or
vice
versa,
and
so
I
think
that's
going
to
be
and
I
appreciate
you
your
comments
and
that
yeah
y'all
mention
about
the
train
that
workforce
not
too
far
from
here.
We
have
the
trainee,
the
avocational
school
donna
largo
as
well.
We
have
the
st.
Petersburg
College,
also
we'll
be
talking
with
I've,
been
talking
with
the
Provos
of
st.
C
C
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
for
all
that
information
and
there's
no
brainer
that
dragging
the
ankle
river.
That's
going
to
help
us
to
you
to
bring
large
boats
here
to
tarpon
springs
to
do
the
repairs
that,
right
now
they
can
do
after
talking
to
you,
one
of
the
builders
boat
builders
down
yeah
the
river.
He
was
still
me.
Is
this
chris
right
now
that
I'm
refusing
work,
because
I
cannot
bring
those
boats
here
to
tarpon
springs
to
get
it
repaired.
No.
G
C
L
You
I
don't
have
any
questions,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
this.
This
study.
This
is
well
so
much
long
needed,
and
this
is
will
help
not
only
our
Commerce
Committee,
but
it
will
help
Karen
lemons
because
we
have
been
wanting
to
put
put
a
hotel
somewhere
down
in
Sponge
Docks
area
or
somewhere
close
on
the
water
are
somewhere
in
town
closer
off
of
19,
and
we
never
really
had
any
two
numbers
to
present
to
any
hotel
chains
or
anybody
interested
in
coming
in
to
you
know.
This
is
what
we
have.
L
This
is
our
daily
traffic,
so
I
hope
that
this
this
helps
miss
Lemmons,
maybe
attract
some
hotel
chains.
Coming
in
this
is
I
mean
I.
I
was
thrilled
to
see
the
numbers
and
and
yeah
we
have
a
working
waterfront
and
we
do
bring
a
lot
of
you
know.
We
have
was
rusty
bellies
with
all
our
fresh
seafood
comes
in
from
there
and
some
of
the
other
places
online
on
the
River.
L
So
is
so
important
that
this
really
goes
hand
in
hand
with
our
next
presentation
weather
for
the
dredging
of
the
river,
because
the
this
really
helps
I
think
and
I'm
glad
that
you
all
got
to
look
at
the
study
and
because
this
goes
hand
in
hand
with
the
next
presentation
but
I'm
just
so
thrilled
to
to
see
like
I
said
we
we
needed
this.
This
is
much
needed,
so
I
appreciate
your
work
on
this.
L
M
Thank
you.
Yes,
this
is
long
overdue
data
I
mean
we
just
speculating
about
what
we
think
it
is,
and
this
is
exactly
what
we
need
or
various
aspects,
including
the
dredge
project
and
from
its
limits
as
well.
You
know,
as
was
mentioned,
I
mean
I
see.
Our
biggest
thing
here
is
lost
revenue
in
bed.
Tax
now
mark
I
simply
get
more
beds.
We
receive
that
bed
tax
directly
write
the
city
does
okay,
so
that's
a
huge
lost
revenue.
Did
you
did
I
get
that
number
wrong?
M
Right
and
I
think
that
you
know
that's
a
you
know:
I,
don't
why's.
It
was
that
high
with
how
small
I'm
not
I'm,
not
of
beds,
we
have
so
obviously
any
increase
in
hotels
which
would
generate
other
revenue.
We
will
get
more
in
the
am
I'm
in
bed
tax
and
also
when
I
think
you
said
we
count
for
what
was
it.
Three
percent
was
the
three
percent
of
overnight
visitors
and
nfl's.
Three.
M
So
I
thank
you
for
that
and
then,
in
fact,
that
you
pointed
out
that
huge
lost
lost
revenue
gap
for
us,
but
the
fact
that
we
do
a
you
know:
250
million
dollars
a
year
as
as
far
as
tourism
dollars
that
that's
a
staggering
number
it
that's
hard
than
I
thought
it
was
that'll,
be
that'll,
be
a
very
good
tool
for
us
to
use
for
the
dress
project
and
and
future
ones
become.
So.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Mr.
Fehn,
thank
you
I'm
just
just
to
echo
some
of
the
some
of
the
comments.
First
of
all,
I
appreciate
your
your
presentation
tonight.
The
numbers
are
obviously
outstanding
and
we're
all
extremely
pleased
with
that,
but
I'm
also
appreciative
of
the
extent
of
your
research,
in
terms
of
you
know,
talking
to
people
off
the
street,
and
you
know
talking
to
the
person
at
breakfast
and
just
the
you
know
the
real
nitty-gritty
of
your
research
I'm.
So
I
can
appreciate
you
doing
that.
I
You
know
for
years
as
I've
been
trying
to
sell
real
estate
in
Tarpon,
Springs
I've
told
people
that
800
thousand
to
a
million
tourists
here
you
know,
come
through
town
and
come
through
the
sponge
docks
and
I
thought.
That
number
was
true,
I
mean
that's
what
I
was
told.
It
was
so
you
know,
million
won
good,
even
better
so
I
mean
you
know,
I'm
thankful.
For
that
that
you
know
the
information
I
was
giving
was
pretty
true,
but
even
though
we've
gone
up
a
hundred
thousand.
I
So
so
that's
a
you
know
a
number
for
me
that
was
eye-opening.
You
know:
Commissioner
Slattery
said
that
she
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
intangible
benefit
that
this
report
gives
to
miss
lemons
and
other
people
as
they
try
and
you
know,
help
develop
a
redevelop
or
sell
property
in
tarpon
springs.
So
you
know
this.
This
report
was
done.
I
You
know
with
the
idea
of
the
River
dredge,
which
is
you
know
why
we
did
it
and
why
it
was
paid
for
and
where
we
got
the
funding
from,
and
everything
like
that,
which
is
great,
but
the
intangible
benefit
of
having
this
report
for
karen's
purposes,
and
just
you
know
your
average
real
estate
brokers
purposes
or
just
for
the
public's
information.
You
know
that
that
benefit
is
huge.
I
Tina
I
really
see
that
as
as
value
as
well
Commissioner
Panthers
point
about
the
the
overnight
a
bed
tax
I
mean
you
know
just
I
mean
everybody
has
said
for
years
and
years
we
need
a
hotel
and
you
know
you
got
to
build
it
in
OH,
calm
and
blah
blah
blah,
which
is
all
true,
but
I
mean
to
look
at
the
actual
numbers
that
you've
presented
tonight,
which
is
you
know.
We
get
eleven
percent
of
the
tourism
in
terms
of
day
visits
in
Pinellas
County,
but
we
only
get
three
point.
I
Three
percent
of
the
night
visits,
so
you
know
from
a
from
a
revenue
generating
standpoint,
I
mean
if
we
can
just
get
that
hotel,
even
if
you
could
convert
you
know
an
extra
two
percent
of
that
eleven
percent.
You
know
and
you
get
to
five
percent
you're
talking.
You
know
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
in
tax
revenue.
So
so
we
got
it.
You
know
that
huge.
You
know
it
all
come
I
mean
rome
wasn't
built
at
night,
but
you
know
for
the
most
part.
Those
are.
I
L
N
K
N
C
F
F
Now
we
need
to
clarify
something
here:
bed
tax
goes
to
the
county.
They
use
that
for
visit
visit
Pinellas.
They
use
it
for
some
stadium
fundings.
They
use
it
for
some
other
projects
that
the
County
Commission
degrees
on,
but
I,
don't
remember
in
our
budgets
ever
seeing
a
line-item
saying
we
got
money
from
the
county
from
the
bed
tax.
F
So
what
I
would
like
is
a
clarification
to
see
exactly
if
we
do
receive
money
from
the
county
from
the
bed
tax
and
if
that's
the
case,
what
the
percentage
is
because
I
think
it
would
be
a
lot
different
than
the
453
700,000
that
you're
being
referred
to.
So
we
need
to
clarify
what's
generated
and
what
we
received
are
two
different
things.
Now
we've
been
talking
about
hotels
for
years,
that's
not
the
issue.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
because
I'm
more
concerned
about
the
marine,
Commerce
transportation
roadway
improvements
a
lot
of
these
potential.
F
If
you
look
at
the
map-
I
guess
the
third
page
or
page
whatever
it
shows
most
of
these
vacant.
Industrial
and
marine
parcels
are
on
the
north
side
of
the
river.
We
know
that,
but
the
logistics
of
getting
them
supplies
workforce
to
there
is
going
to
be
an
issue.
We
need
to
have
some
kind
of
working
with
with
our
MP
01
we
put
in
live
oak.
F
I
can
see
trucks
and
trailers
coming
down
live
oak
to
come
up
to
end
khlo,
but
that
bridge
at
alterna,
19,
behind
old
Abbas's
either
needs
to
be
expanded
or
that
intersection
redone.
If
you're
going
to
have
large
trailer
trucks
or
commercial
vehicles
coming
in
otherwise
you're
going
to
have
to
come
in
off
of
what
by
Brittany
park
and
come
up
down
old
dixie
highway
through
the
neighborhoods
and
they're
going
to
fuss
if
they
have
big
tractor
trailers.
F
So
that's
something
that
really
I
think
needs
to
be
focused
on
as
a
commission
to
look
at
how
we
can
work
with
the
county
and
our
people,
because
that's
going
to
be
a
very
significant
logistic
aspect
attracting
those
type
of
businesses
because
yeah
the
river
dredging
is
coming
and
we
could
definitely
use
some
more
marine
things
and
then
also
I,
don't
know
when
you
talk
about
training
and
you
reference
to
school
down
the
street.
Were
you
referring
to
pee
Teck
or
you
know
what?
Where
would
people
get
training
for
those
types
of
jobs?
O
O
I'll
start
by
saying,
we've
come
a
long
way
since
we
started
this,
and
the
marine
Commerce
Committee
first
met
in
March
of
this
year
pleased
to
say
that
the
projects
moving
right
along
I'll
summarize
some
of
the
items.
The
bullet
points
that
are
in
your
backup
and
if
there's
any
questions
on
the
details,
we
can
certainly
get
to
those
at
the
end.
So
this
update
starts
with
a
new
examination
survey
that
the
Army
Corps
provided
us
just
back
in
September.
O
If
you
recall,
we
started
with
a
survey
of
the
ankle
River
channel
that
was
incomplete
and
it
was
two
years
old.
Now
we've
got
one
that
goes
all
the
way
out
to
full
extent
of
the
channel
and
it's
a
brand
new
update.
So
that's
a
great
thing
that
wasn't
originally
scheduled
till
2017
by
the
Army
Corps,
but
they
were
able
to
accelerate
that
I.
Think,
thanks
in
large
part
to
the
public
interest
that
this
project
has.
So
that's
a
good
thing.
O
Along
with
that
survey,
the
Army
Corps
recomputed
the
amount
of
material
that
we
would
need
to
dredge
out
of
the
channel
and
with
a
configuration
that
they're
recommending,
we
were
able
to
take
the
number
that
they
presented
and
apply
that
to
as
a
criteria
to
compare
to
the
sites
that
we'd
recognize
that
we'd
identified
for
the
Spoils
narrowing
it
down
to
three.
That
could
hold
the
quantity
of
material
that
we
would
need
those
three
the
owners
of
those
three
sites.
O
Those
three
sites
are
not
for
sale,
but
the
owners
of
all
three
of
those
sites
have
entertained
and
negotiated
with
us.
Some
leasing,
pricing
and
all
three
in
some
form
or
another
have
either
suspended
or
offered
to
rearrange
some
of
the
development
plans
that
they're
looking
at
in
the
future
to
accommodate
our
project.
So
we
have
some
some
good
options
available
to
us
there
at
this
time.
O
Tonight,
we're
not
ready
to
make
a
recommendation
on
a
site
because
we're
still
waiting
for
some
more
information.
One
of
the
pieces
of
information
on
waiting
on
is
a
preference
of
the
Army
Corps
I
presented
those
three
sites
to
the
Army
Corps.
All
the
technical
information
involved
with
those
sites
would
like
to
get
their
feedback
on
on
a
site
if
they
have
one
I
think
it
was
imprudent
to
to
at
least
get
the
feedback
on
that
we
don't
have
that
information
just
yet.
O
The
other
opportunity
I'm
looking
at
is
involves
cost
sharing.
There
are
two
pieces
of
the
cost
component
for
the
spoil
sites.
One
is
the
lease.
The
other
is
the
cost
of
developing
that
site
or
that
will
call
it
the
construction
of
the
site
in
the
last
dredge.
We
paid
for
all
that,
but
I
feel
like
that.
O
The
cost
to
develop
that
site
should
be
included
as
a
construction
component
of
the
dredge
and
I
felt
like
it
was
worth
a
shot
to
ask
the
Army
Corps
to
take
another
look
at
that
and
see
if
they
can
include
that
for
federal
funding.
That
component
represents
anywhere
from
fifty
to
eighty
percent
of
the
cost
of
the
site,
so
I
thought
it
was
worth
a
shot.
They
are
currently
entertaining
that
request.
O
So
that
is
the
the
snapshot
update.
As
I
said,
the
we're
waiting
on
that
response
from
the
Army
Corps.
Our
next
step
will
be
to
take
the
information
that
you
just
saw
an
attic
economic
impact
study
package
it
with
with
the
numbers
that
were
able
to
finally
recommend
here
and
prepare
an
information
package
care
and
I
will
work
on
that
to
share
with
Senator
Jack
Latvala,
who
is
continuing
to
support
our
project
as
we
look
for
state
funding
for
the
the
spoil
site,
property
I'll.
Leave
it
at
that.
C
Thank
you
for
the
update.
Mr.
the
curse
also
like
to
thank
all
the
employees
that
have
been
involved
with
this
project.
They
do
an
excellent
job
and
all
the
MCC
advisory
board
members
they're
working,
so
hardly
some
of
you
are
here
today.
Thank
you
for
your
work
in
your
interest.
To
get
that
going.
I
am
very
glad
that
the
the
parametric
survey
has
been
completed
in
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
now
they're
thinking
about
you
know,
dragon
11
feet
instead
of
10
once,
but
it
makes
a
big
difference.
It's.
O
C
C
M
O
M
O
Didn't
present
this
to
the
marine
commerce
committee
and
we
just
discuss
in
detail,
you
got
the
the
quick
summary
here,
but
we
did
talk
about
the
relocation
of
that
channel
and
for
the
benefit
of
those
listening,
there's
a
section
of
the
channel
that
would
require
extensive
dredging
and
rather
than
looking
at
that
cost.
The
army
course
decided
to
simply
relocate
channel
away
from
and
kloke
so
that
they
wouldn't
have
to
dredge
it
pretty
simple
solution,
and
that
saves
a
significant
amount
of
costs
related
to
the
dredge.
But
yes,
that
has
been
presented
and
discussed
was.
O
Part
of
what
spurred
the
the
desire
to
move
forward
with
the
project
and
get
that
survey
done
was
that
boat
tour.
When
we
had
the
Army
Corps
there,
we
had
the
Coast
Guard
there
we
had
Pinellas
County
they're,
really
showing
that
it
was
important
for
the
Army
Corps
to
see
that
we
were
also
united
behind
getting
this
project
going
and
now
we
see
what
the
economic
impact
is
to
doing
this
and
keeping
this
river
functional
yeah.
It's
helped
yeah.
M
I
I
think
that
study
will
be
not
the
nail
on
the
coffin,
that's
a
bad
analogy,
but
will
be
the
maybe
the
final
thing
that
will
help
really
put
to
the
top
of
their
agenda.
As
far
as-
and
it's
just
for
my
for
my
education,
the
is,
is
it
three
different
sites
we're
looking
out
for
the
these
for
the
Spoils
site
at.
M
M
M
M
I
Back,
thank
you.
I
want
to
give
thanks
to
all
the
marine
commerce
committee
members
for
your
basically
volunteerism
on
this
particular
subject
and,
of
course,
to
bob
robertson
for
his
expertise.
I
really
don't
think
we
could
have
a
better
project
manager
on
on
this
particular
job.
So,
thanks
to
you,
Bob
thanks
for
the
committee
members,
just
a
couple
things
I
understand
why,
while
we're
waiting
on
now
to
select
the
soil
site
and
I
can
always
appreciate,
you
know
having
more
money
or
more
funding.
You
know
by
somebody
else
versus
us.
I
I
I
As
far
as
let
me
just
weigh
in
on
my
thoughts
as
far
as
buying
versus
leasing
a
site
and,
first
and
foremost,
you
know
you
can't
buy
something.
If
it's
not,
you
know
for
sale
necessarily
know
so.
I
can
appreciate
that,
but
I
will
say
that
you
know
in
dealing
with
city
assets
and
city
property
and
whether
or
not
it's
better
to
lease
her
own.
In
this
particular
case,
it
would
have
to
be
a
site
that
was
so
far
out
of
the
growth
pattern
in
terms
of
development.
I
For
me
to
really
support
the
city
buying
it
because,
as
we
know,
when
the
city
owns
a
piece
of
property,
we
don't
collect
any
ad
valorem
taxes
or
we
don't.
You
know,
there's
that
job
or
that
site
can't
be
redeveloped
or
you
know
marine
commerce,
or
it
can't
be
redeveloped
from
a
residential
standpoint.
So
I
really
feel
like
you
know.
If,
if
this,
if
there
was
a
site
that
was
you
know
further
out
of
that
development
corridor,
a
growth
pattern,
then
it
would
be
more
viable
and
I
would
be
more
interested.
I
Of
course
it
have
to
be
for
sale
and
buying
it,
but
because
of
where
you
know,
the
growth
is
headed
in
terms
of
redevelopment
or
future
development
within
our
city,
I,
don't
see
it
as
a
huge
benefit
to
us
to
own
a
site.
You
know,
especially
if
it's
just
a
dredge
site,
because
after
we
get
done
with
this
dredge,
you
know.
Hopefully
this
dredge
will
last
us
another.
You
know
10
15,
however
many
years
in
which
case
that
site
will
be
relatively
underutilized
and
off
the
tax
records
for,
however
long
we
own
it.
I
So
I
can
appreciate
that.
However,
you
know
we
have
more
waterfront
than
anybody
in
pinellas
county
in
terms
of
a
town,
and
we
also
have
ad
valorem
taxes
based
on
you
know
that
waterfront,
so
it's
important
that
we
take
care
of
all
of
our
waterfront,
not
just
the
marine.
You
know
the
the
main
river
channel
rightly.
O
I
I
said
I
want
to
muddy
the
water,
because
this
is
first
and
foremost,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
look
at
that
as
we
do
all
of
our
other
projects
slated
for
the
future,
because
there
are
areas
of
town
that
need
to
be
dredged
in
the
bayous
or
you
know,
on
little
tributaries
off
the
main
river
I
mean
a
perfect
example.
Is
you
know
where
we're
duckworth?
This
right?
I
Are
you
know
one
of
our
big
drape
boat
builders,
I
mean
they're
little
finger
of
a
channel
is
not
the
main
river
channel
and
that's
where
some
of
the
biggest
boats
in
the
river
going
to
get
you
know
worked
on
or
built
or
whatever
the
case
may
be
so
I
mean
you
know.
That
is
extremely
important
for
us
to
look
at
so
I.
Don't
know
if
there's
any
way
to
potentially
piggyback.
I
You
know
with
this
contractor
who's,
going
to
be
performing
this
work
in
the
future
or
what
but
just
know
that
to
me,
it's
important
to
you
know,
really
look
at
and
try
and
plan
for
and
I
can
always
appreciate.
You
know
mobilizing
one
time
versus
two,
so
those
are
my
comments
thanks
to
everyone
involved.
Thank.
L
O
Certainly
does,
and
it
can
it
plays
into
a
couple
of
things,
one
being
the
the
cost
of
the
piping
of
them
getting
the
material
to
the
site
to
the
property.
So
you
may
have
more
costs
up
front
related
to
that,
but
you
may
have
a
site
that
doesn't
need
to
be
have
as
much
clearing
or
the
elevations
are
better
and
more
favorable.
O
So
you
don't
have
to
berm
it
up
so
high
to
couldn't
retain
this
material
and
all
that
was
factored
into
the
cost
that
you
see
there,
the
piping
it
actually
is
considered
a
part
of
the
construction
cost
of
that
action.
I
apologize,
that's
a
statement,
that's
not
part
of
the
site
development
there,
but
you
know
all
those
things
get
factored
in
and.
O
L
O
My
understanding
I've
not
been
on
a
barge
when
they're
doing
dredging
but
I.
Imagine
that
there's
a
way
to
keep
that
under
current
operation.
If
there's
not,
there
may
have
to
look
at
working
with
the
Coast
Guard
for
possible
temporary
dredging,
or
some
of
that
affect
I'm
right.
It
could
get
complicated
and
just
like
any
kind
of
construction
job
it
like
when
you
build
a
new
road,
I'm
sure
there's
going
to
be
some
difficulties.
Yeah.
L
O
And
to
answer
your
and
the
Vice
mayor's
question,
you
know
those
smaller
type
projects
we
wouldn't
necessarily
have
to
have
a
permanent
spoil
site
to
do
projects
like
that
you
can
design
systems.
There
are
companies
that
can
do
incident
in
place
treatment
where
they
let
the
material
settle
capture
the
materials
without
having
to
have
a
site
to
do
it,
especially
for
smaller
jobs.
I
would
say
the
best
approach
would
be
to
approach
those
jobs
as
individual
separate
job
just
like
we
would
do
any
other
capital
project
and.
H
L
What's
on
the
record,
thank
you
and
I
do
thank
you,
Mark
and
and
Tom,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
the
Commerce
Committee
marine
Commerce
Committee
and
everybody
that's
involved
in
this
project.
There's
people
that
are
involved
that
are
not
sitting
on
the
committee,
but
are
working
hard
to
help
them
as
well
and
guide
everybody
and
I
want
to
thank
and
they're
all
volunteers.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
your
time
and
and
Bobby
did
an
excellent
job.
Thank.
C
L
P
Good
evening,
Athena
and
SAR
Julia's,
634,
east
orange
and
I
also
want
to
thank
Bob
for
his
very
thorough
presentation
and
work.
We
had
a
lot
of
questions
for
him
during
his
initial
presentation,
so
I'll
spare
you
all
all
that
I
have
just
one
comment
and
that
regards
a
permanent
spoil
side
and
I
am
sensitive
to
what
vice
mayor,
tarp
Annie
was
speaking
about,
but
also
the
need
for
continual
dredging
of
all
the
water
raised,
as
you
say,
not
just
the
federal
channel
but
the
bayous,
the
inlets
mr.
P
duck
horse
area,
and
so
on
so
I
understand
it's.
It
is
the
way
our
Charter
is
written.
There
is
a
long
process
and
public
input
referendum
before
the
city
can
purchase
any
piece
of
property
and
I
understand
also
that
it
it
may
lie
fallow
for
lack
of
a
better
word
until
the
next
stretch,
but
we
just
saw
the
numbers.
This
river
is
critically
important
to
our
economy
and
I
understand
the
need
for
speed
and
for
this
project
it's
important
to
move
forward.
P
It
is
a
safety
issue
out
there
and
we
don't
have
the
time
per
se
to
set
up
a
referendum
and
so
forth
for
voters
to
approve
or
not
approve
so
I
get
that.
But
I
want
us
to
thank
long-term
vision.
The
next
50
years
of
the
city
and
so
on,
as
property
gets
developed,
which
we
hope
it
will
hotels
or
other
opportunities
more
available
land
is
going
to
be
bought
up
and
and
unavailable
for
a
spoiled
side.
Perhaps
technology
will
catch
up
Bob.
Can
you
know
better
answer
that
than
me?
P
Maybe
we
won't
need
so
much
open
land
in
the
future.
I
don't
know,
but
I
want
us
to
be
mindful
of
that,
possibly
an
effort.
You
know
on
going
to
to
look
at
acquiring
a
piece
of
property
that
would
be
suitable,
so
we
can
guarantee
in
perpetuity
the
opal
remains
open.
You
know
for
it
long
before
our
lifetimes.
So
that's
my
only
comment.
Thank.
Q
Q
H
C
Consent
agenda
item
number
for
satisfaction
and
release
of
liens
and
number
five
is
at
20
feet.
Number
six
movie,
pull
anything
else
that
you
like
to
pull.
No
okay.
Are
there
any
public
comments
on
those
two
items
here?
None
any
Commission
comment:
I
won't
entertain
a
motion
for
the
two
items,
move
approval,
yeah
roll
call,
please.
Mr.
C
H
This
item
is
for
our
school
resource
contract.
We
do
every
year
the
reason
I
needed
to
pull
it.
Is
the
police
had
two
items
coming
tonight.
The
one
had
to
be
pulled
from
the
agenda.
Unfortunately,
the
wrong
one
got
pulled
from
the
agenda,
but
this
item
is
simply
to
renew
the
SRO
agreement
and
we
do.
We
are
getting
more
money,
we're
going
from
135
nine
41
to
139
Oh
68,
so
we
will
be
getting
I,
don't
know
that
a
percentage
Bob
or
three
percent,
or
something
like
that
means
stuff.
H
So
this
is
the
standard
contract
standard
language.
It's
been
reviewed
by
the
attorney.
It's
the
same
language
we've
had.
Obviously
we
do
our
schools
in
killeen
the
elementary
school,
so
this
is
the
reimbursement
that
they
send
back
to
us
for
those
services,
though
so
it's
forward
for
you
to
to
approve
and
get
the
money
from
the
school
system.
Thank.
C
C
C
R
Evening
time
function,
public
works
director.
This
is
a
front
of.
You
is
a
list
of
prioritized
streets
that
we
do
for
a
biannual
resurfacing
or
repaving
program.
It's
based
on
a
technical
criteria
which
includes
driveability,
potholes,
utility
repairs
and
we
put
in
a
Pretoria
but
prior
to
our
eyes
list.
This
list
here
will
show
you
a
number
of
different
things.
The
first
six
streets
are
based
on
the
biannual
list.
We
put
their
up
every
year.
The
last
three
are
additional
prob,
paving
programs
we
want.
R
We
intend
to
do
including
tarpon
avenue,
intersection
boys
and
girls,
club
basketball
court
and
the
richard
irving
park.
The
reason
why
they're
there
on
this
list
here
is
because
of
economy
of
scale.
We
attempted
to
do
those
last
year,
but
because
you're
small
projects,
they
cost
quite
a
bit
more
money
to
do
so.
We
decided
to
put
them
apart
of
this,
to
make
it
part
of
yeah
the
lower
the
cost
of
doing
those
projects.
R
There
are
one
of
the
big
project
here
at
part
of
the
paving
is
part
of
the
MLK
Boulevard
that
street
there
as
we
about
200
feet,
west
of
the
intersection
of
Pinellas
Avenue,
there's
been
a
depression
there
for
quite
a
while.
We
did
hired
engineering
firm
this
year
to
look
at
it
and
make
some
recommendations
on
repairs,
those
repairs
prior
to
or
be
done
prior
to
the
resurfacing,
and
we
were
able
to
do
those
repairs
in
the
house.
H
Just
to
make
a
note
on
that,
if
anybody,
if
you
remember
the
Board's
decision
to
enter
in
the
agreement
with
the
church
on
Gulph
Road
for
the
basketball
court,
if
any
of
you
drive
by
those
all
the
time,
you
see
the
tremendous
use
of
those
course
that
we
did.
This
is
a
slim.
Everybody
remembers
the
old
boys
and
girls
club
there
hadn't
that's
their.
So
this
is
a
similar
type
of
thing
and,
as
we
can
see,
the
use
is
there
because
some
nights-
there's
20
25,
kids,
an
acorn
Gulph
Road.
H
So
this
is
another
case
for
a
simple
small,
paving
project
that
we
can
do
that.
Also,
if
anybody
you've
seen
and
coming
up
soon,
I
hope
to
have
a
presentation.
The
picture
is
we're
getting
closer
to
complete
Richard
Irwin
Parkway,
just
a
little
bit
of
changes
are
coming
they're,
not
that
is
going
to
be
a
beautiful
park
on
the
lake
and
we're
just
doing
some
adjustments
in
the
parking
lot
and
that's
the
final
piece
of
it.
While
we
were
contracted
to
do
this
other
work,
that's
why
that's
added
in
there
so
yeah.
R
H
C
G
R
R
Q
C
H
H
R
R
H
R
And
this
is
not
that
many
street
side
over
the
last
few
years,
we've
done
as
many
as
12
or
13
streets
and
they
had
to
mobilize
on
every
street
in
this
case
here
since
Riverside
is
so
long
that'll
be
one
mobilization
just
on
that
street
alone.
That
should
go
pretty
quick,
so
probably
a
few
weeks
probably
do
the
whole
project
well,
thank
you.
C
Mr.
lacor
is
a
two
streets
coming
to
the
city
hall,
the
pine
street
and
ring
avenue
that
also.
We
need
to
include
that
on
a
list,
because
that's
all
the
traffic
coming
to
the
city
hall,
also,
the
traffic
go
to
the
elementary
school,
a
lot
of
school
buses
going
through
there
and,
of
course
City
Hall,
is
the
center
of
our
city.
When
you
do
that,
when
your
sidewalk
plus
that's.
R
Yeah
the
bottom
two
are
just
in
case
of
extension,
depending
what
the
bids
come
in
the
prices.
I've
been
talked
to
a
couple
different
contractors.
Prices
are
all
over
the
place
right
now,
because
the
price
of
oil
so
I'm,
hoping
that
to
stretch
some
of
this,
that's
why
the
extra
streets
are
down
there,
I
mean.
I
R
I
R
R
I
R
G
H
We're
working
we've
kind
of
got
the
one
for
the
main
stretch,
but
the
rest
of
we're
working
on
now.
The
stretch
I'm
outside
the
Athens
part
we're
working
on
what
we
can
get
in
and
working
on,
maybe
getting
some
right
away.
We
have
very
little
right
away
in
the
sidewalk,
so
we're
still
working
on
that.
It
will
bring
those
to
you
before
that
before
it
comes
about
I
knew
that
was
part
of
the
yeah.
H
E
R
E
E
R
R
E
That's
good
to
know
because
it
is
very
dangerous:
I
have
to
drive
very
slow,
but
it
can
damage
your
car
and
just
something
for
you
to
think
about.
It
won't
happen
in
my
lifetime,
maybe
50
years
down
the
road.
There
was
a
plan
in
the
city
in
the
90s
too,
but
a
pipe
from
the
bayou
area
across
from
the
old
trakis
packing
house
to
the
Bayou
with
greats
in
the
road.
So
it
could
flush
back
and
forth
and
keep
that
by
you
that
part
of
the
Bayou
alive
and
clean
back
and
forth.
I
E
It's
Roosevelt
and
to
go
all
the
way
to
around
the
buy
you
something
to
think
about.
It
was
an
environmental,
a
purpose
that
we
had
thought
about
it.
I,
don't
know
if
the
city
still
has
those
plans
or
not,
but
it
was
pretty
good
and
then
I
got
out
of
office
and
others
left
and
it
never
was
worked
on.
But
they
had
told
us.
E
The
flushing
action
between
the
Bayou
would
help
the
bayou
and
would
help
that
little
Bayou
area
behind
the
church
there
and
in
front
of
where
Jacques
packing
house
is,
it
was
dying
and
it
was
it
wasn't
healthy
and
they
said
that
would
be
a
very
healthy
project,
environmentally
for
the
city
to
look
at
it's
just
something
that
we
had
done
long
ago.
If
you
could
find
it
be
worth
looking
at
10
15
years
down
the
road.
Thank.
C
C
C
H
H
But
what
I
want
to
do
is
take
of
the
portion,
the
monthly
portion
of
that
budgeted
money
that
we
have
for
the
position
and
and
give
that
to
the
Historical
Society
for
a
couple
months,
so
they
can
get
their
own
person
to
man
it
while
we
developed
that
plan
and
get
it
back
to
the
it's
about.
When
you
take
the
position
and
divide,
it
is
about
a
thousand
dollars
a
month.
So
what
we
do
we
would
give
the
first
thousand.
H
They
would
give
us
the
reimbursement
for
their
manpower
they
use
for
that,
and
then
we
renew
that
for
another
month.
I
want
to
do
that
for
a
few
months,
some
tweaking
to
get
set.
What
we
want
to
bring
back
to
you
and
how
we
want
to
handle
that
position.
So
so
I
just
want
to
bring
that
to
you
tonight
to
allow
me
to
do
that
and
get
them
the
check
this
week
to
start
and
keep
a
man
during
the
holidays.
Thank.

T
Evening
mayor
commissioners,
Ron
hearing
finance
director
budget
resolution,
2016
38
is
the
final
budget
resolution
for
the
previous
year,
we're
just
closing
out
fiscal
year
2016
and
what
we
have
is
just
some
final
items
that
were
not
budgeted
for
before
and
we're
just
bringing
them
before
you
just
to
put
the
budget
in
form.
They
include
the
City
Attorney's
Department
fire
department,
building
development,
treebank
arts,
historical
resources,
department,
Heritage
Center
and
an
NEA
grant.
And
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
answer
any.
T
C
H
T
Usually
sometime,
we
usually
their
salaries
of
regular
salaries.
What
we
would
be
able
to
cover
this,
but
what
we
found
this
year,
we
had
seven
fire
employees
that
were
terminated
and
between
that
and
the
vacation
sell
back
money
which
both
of
them
are
not
budgeted.
That
came
to
like
about
a
hundred
eighty
thousand
dollar,
so
I
think
there
was
two
or
three
employees.
It
also
went
to
the
drop
program
when
they
go
into
the
drop
you,
the
vacation
and
sick
money
is
paid
off.
T
H
That's
that
there
was
a
lot
of
times
when
people
are
off.
You
do
overtime,
you're,
not
paying
the
one
salary,
so
it
really
offsets
each
other.
That's
why
I
didn't
offset.
But
again,
as
I
said
during
budget
time,
we
are
looking
at
that
in
january.
I
believe
january
early
februari,
the
fire
grant
that
I
told
you
opens
up.
The
process
opens
up
again.
I
know
Commissioner
bantha
brought
that
forward
and
and
to
go
I
believe
we're.
H
For
three
or
four
firefighters
with
that
with
that
grant,
obviously
that'll
give
us
two
or
three
years
where
most
of
its
paid
for
by
by
them
and
then
will
assimilate
it.
If
that
doesn't
go,
though,
we
are
going
to
be
working
on
a
plan
to
add
fire
people,
but
obviously
we
want
to
see
what
our
opportunity
is
for
that
grant,
so
we'll
be
applying
for
that
and
again
late
January
February
for
the
next
cycle,
and
hopefully
that
is
one
of
the
methods
we're
going
to
to
get
some
more
coverage
in
there.
I
T
I
T
I
T
I
I
H
M
I
I
just
I
think
this
is
one
example
how
we
do
need
a
fun
more
more
more
positions
in
the
fire
department
and
on
rely
to
hear
that
we're
looking
into
multiple
positions
for
that
grant.
I
thought
I
thought,
maybe
just
one
or
two
so
the
most
we
can
get
in
that
would
that
would
that
that
would
be
a
great
because
I
think
they
are
they
over
time.
M
C
T
Resolution
2016
39
is
a
first
budget
resolution
for
the
new
year
fiscal
year
2017
and
is
one
we
do
every
year
about
this
time.
But
what
it's
mostly
bringing
over
is
balances
from
the
previous
2016
that
have
not
they
were
budgeted
for,
but
they
have
not
been
spent.
So
like
the
first
one,
4.6
million,
that's
encumbrances
or
purchase
orders
out
there.
T
I
As
an
example
for
the
public,
just
because
not
to
insult
intelligence,
but
you
know
one
could
one
could
take
that
encumbrance
carry
over
and
sale
where
we
over
budgeted
by
five
million
bucks,
but
an
example
would
be
like
a
slated
project
in
that
fiscal
year
that
for
one
reason
or
another,
got
delayed.
For
example,
the
ring
Avenue
parking
lot
project
whatever,
and
then
it
gets
carried
over
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
Some
of
that
money
comes
from
that.
You
know
for
minor
change
that.
T
G
C
C
C
C
G
C
C
I
A
C
L
A
C
S
C
B
You
mayor,
don't
let
you
know
that
on
November
23rd,
our
honor
guard
has
been
selected
by
the
Tampa
Bay
Lightning
to
be
the
color
guard
during
the
national
anthem.
So
that's
big.
They
look
really
good
and
we've
come
a
long
way
and
we
continue
to
improve
the
unit.
I,
don't
know
if
I
know
people
there,
but
their
new
uniforms
were
presented
at
the
Veterans
Day
event,
and
now
they
do
really
well.
So
they
do
a
really
good
job
representing
us
and
I'm.
Definitely
proud
of
him.
S
S
We
hired
him
anyway
and
kidding
he's
studied
for
the
bar
with
us
and
passed
it
in
September
was
sworn
in
and
he
is
going
to
be
assisting
as
all
of
our
attorneys
do
in
the
representation
of
the
city
and
our
other
municipal
clients,
and
so
you
may
see
him
either
sitting
here
with
you
or
that
one
of
the
other
board
meetings
are
in
a
meeting.
So
he's
been
a
great
addition
to
our
to
our
staff
when
I
wanted
you
to
put
a
face
with
a
name
Thank.
S
H
I
said
earlier,
the
news
about
Sunset
Beach.
Obviously
it
was
a
bucket
list
item
that
I
didn't
know
if
I
was
completed
in
time
again
it
was
four
and
a
half
or
five
years
very
shortly
that
we've
been
trying
to
get
that
in
the
fight
that
we've
had
and
that's
you
know,
we've
talked
a
lot
about
dredging
a
lot
but
again
two
examples.
H
H
Project
and
I
was
beginning
to
wonder
if
I'd
see
it
in
my
time
and
city
manager,
but
again
that
will
be
going
out
to
bid
and
and
as
soon
as
possible
will
be
getting
that
done
to
dredge
there
as
we
dread.
You
will
also
come
back
to
you
looking
to
some
other
improvements
on
Sunset
Beach,
a
little
clearer
try
to
make
some
clearers
changes
for
the
boat
trailers
to
do
to
allow
some
of
that
stuff.
H
A
I
You
a
couple
things
mr.
city
manager,
the
emails
that
we've
seen
about
the
communication
with
the
resident
Army
Corps
regarding
the
wiccan
by
you
project.
As
you
know,
that's
something
that
I'm
very
sensitive
to
and
I
know
that
and
I'm
not
asking
you
for
an
update
tonight,
but
I
know
that
you
said
that
it
was
going
to
be
some
communication
with
staff
in
the
Army
Corps
in
response
to
that
email.
Yes,.
G
I
So,
probably
not
our
December
fifth
meeting,
because
I
think
that
we're
going
to
be
you
know
discussing
other
things
of
you
know
pertinent
value,
but
I'd
like
to
know.
What's
going
on
that
prior
to
that
email
from
the
concerned,
citizen,
you
and
I
have
had
conversations
about
that.
So
I
mean
I
do
feel
like
there
is
a
need
to
try
and
rectify
that
a
little
bit
so
I
just
want
to
know.
What's
going
on
yeah.
G
I
I
We
used
to
have
murals
all
over
town
right,
they
were
that
were
Austin
people
enjoy
it
and
they
displayed
all
kinds
of
you
know,
stored
value
and
things
like
that
and
the
public
art
committee.
You
know
now
has
funding
for
more
public
art
than
they
evidently
can
come
up
with
the
do.
So
it
would
be
a
recommendation
of
mine
for
them
to
look
at
that
that
practice
ball
as
a
mural
spot.
You
know
it's
frustrating
to
me
to
impose
I.
I
You
know
I
support
public
art,
but
it's
frustrating
to
me
to
impose
regulations
and
add
a
development
costs.
Do
you
know
new
development,
for
the
public
art
committee
to
you
know,
create
public
art
around
town
and
have
money
sitting
in
the
bank
and
not
do
anything
with
it.
So
I'm
frustrated
by
that
so
now
that
they
have
money
in
the
account
I'd
like
to
do
some
public
art
around
town
and
I,
think
that
walls
good
fun
all
right.
Thank
you.
L
You
and
you
know,
I
want
to
just
say
something
about
the
public
art
as
well.
I
know:
we've
been
hearing
about
the
bike,
racks
I
still
haven't
seen
anything
and
you're
correct.
They
do
have
money
in
their
account,
and
you
know:
public
art
is
very
important
to
any
community,
so
I
would
love
to
start
seeing
some
public
art
around
town.
If
we
can
talk
to
them.
Thank
you.
I
lost
my
train
of
thought.
I'm.
Sorry
I
do
want
to
wish
everybody
a
very
happy
and
healthy
thanksgiving.
L
We
won't
be
backing
up
here
until
I.
Think
the
beginning
of
december
should
so
enjoy
your
turkey
day,
and
I
did
attend
a
really
really
awesome
function.
This
weekend
it
was
a
fundraiser
for
Kathleen
Monahan,
dr.
Monaghan
foundation.
It
was
the
mermaid
masquerade,
it
was
unbelievable.
Tell
you.
We
have
some
great
staff
that
works
for
this
for
the
city
and
they
did
a
great
job.
Putting
this
fundraiser
together,
though
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
it,
and
the
mayor
was
with
it
was
there
as
well,
and
it
was.
L
M
M
The
citizens
got
me
for
Joan
to
come
back
and
take
pictures
star
photographer,
that's
free,
of
course
right
so
third
mark,
as
I
mentioned
to
you
be4
the
meeting-
you
don't
you
don't
have
to
answer
now,
but
it's
far
as
the
intersection
of
saffron
and
tarpon
Avenue.
There's
there's
any
way
we
can
accomplish
the
safety
goal
without
having
what
I
think
are
those
unsightly
signs
out
there
and
and
causing
basically
a
four-way.
Stop,
that's
not
a
four-way.
Stop
somehow
some
alternative
would
it
were
agree.
M
I
know
we've
had
some
instance
that
people
get
get
it
get
it
getting
hit.
Obviously,
safety
is
before
aesthetics,
but
there
has
to
be
a
balance
and
there's
going
to
be
more
accidents.
People
stopping
me
even
myself.
I
just
used
stop
and
you
stop
so
I
mean
is
if
I'm
doing
it.
I
know
many
many
many
others
are
so
if
you
can
come
back
with
us,
maybe
at
the
next
meeting
or
some
time
with
something
that
we
can
do
that
meets
that
safety
goal.
C
Thank
you.
I
got
several
things
friday
november
18
we
have
the
holiday
products,
give
away
from
9
30
to
11
a.m.
at
the
citizens
academy
for
progress
which
is
located
on
the
40
401
east
martin
luther
king,
and
it's
sponsored
by
central
ave
LA
and
represent
the
fish
bras
and
farm
share.
I.
Think
it's
a
very
good
program
for
people
to
gale.
C
Sorry,
November
19,
the
tarpon
springs.
Sister
city
program
has
a
fundraiser
and
I'm
sure
you
have
that
desk
yep
this
fundraiser
it's
from
11
to
four
p.m.
at
the
creek
park.
We
call
it
the
the
sponges
blending
well
that
event
actually
has
two
different
purposes:
one
is
to
exhibit
our
culture
in
our
heritage
and
the
second
is
to
raise
funds
for
scholarships.
So
this
is
a
good
cause.
We're
going
to
have
the
colorful
Adele
mothers,
competition,
which
is
a
great
place,
also
they're
going
to
prepare
cover
ma,
which
is
the
other
spongers.
C
The
way
they
were
preparing
me
to
go
out,
Spungen,
so
I
think
it's
going
to
be
educational.
At
the
same
time,
it's
going
to
be
a
good
cause
that
we
can
raise
some
funds
for
scholarships.
So
I
invite
all
of
you
to
come.
I
think
it's
you're
gonna
have
a
good
time
which
going
to
be
music,
they're,
very,
very
economical.
It's
only
twelve
dollars
in
the
reason
is
so
economical,
so
everybody
can
afford
a
calm,
I
think
it's
going
to
be
great.
We
also
have
on
November
26.
C
We
got
the
white
wine
walk
from
mar
4
p.m.
29
p.m.
on
tarpon
avenue
november
26.
In
november
207
we
got
the
thanksgiving
arts
and
crafts
show.
It
starts
from
ten
a.m.
to
5p
mo
tarpon
ave
again

Second,
we
have
the
Pinellas
County
delegation
meeting
and
it's
right
here
in
the
city
hall
from
9am
to

p.m.

a
great
event

Second,

have
the
illuminated
boat
parade.
It
starts
at
eight-thirty
p.m.
on

you
at
the
spring
body.
I
think
this
is
an
excellent
event.
Now
you
see
all
the
boats
with
the
lights
on
I.
Think
it's
great
so
I

everybody
