hundred
thirty,
two
thousand
six
hundred
fifty
seven

A
A
A
H
Let
us
pray
dear
Heavenly
Father.
We
come
to
you
this
evening,
recognizing
that
many
of
our
friends,
family
members
and
neighbors
are
still
very
much
in
need
due
to
the
impact
of
Hurricane
Emma
upon
their
lives
and
yet,
at
the
same
time,
we
are
grateful
to
have
been
spared
the
full
impact
of
this
storm.
H
We
meet
tonight
to
address
many
of
the
pressing
needs
facing
Tarpon
Springs
and
ask
that
you
guide
and
direct
us
throughout
the
evenings
agenda.
Thank
you
for
being
faithful
to
us,
even
though,
at
times
we
perhaps
fall
short
of
being
totally
faithful
to
you,
grant
us
wisdom
and
insightfulness
tonight
and
in
the
days
ahead,
we
ask
the
name
of
the
Father
and
of
the
Son
and
of
the
Holy
Spirit
amen.
I
Good
evening
he
relaxes
five
one
for
Ashland
Avenue.
It's
good
to
see
that
everybody's
here,
and
hopefully
all
of
you
survives
well.
What
I
would
like
to
first
say
is
chief
coaching
and
chief
young
and
to
all
the
first
responders
and
our
law
enforcement
officers
for
all
the
hard
work
and
sleepless
nights
and
tireless
efforts.
I
They
have
had
to
go
through
over
this
last
week
and
a
half
we've
all
been
through
this
I
know:
I've
been
dealing
with
this
for
two
weeks
between
preparing
and
then
unprepared
and
continuing
to
prepare,
but
I
do
want
to
bring
forward
an
issue
that
I
feel
is
concerning
to
the
residents
of
Tarpon.
At
least
it
is
to
me
a
while
back.
I
I
So
it
made
me
curious
when
my
mom
had
an
episode
on
Tuesday
that
they
had
to
take
her
down
to
palms
of
Pasadena
in
Gulfport
on
a
Tuesday
afternoon
at
5
o'clock
that
was
day
and
a
half
after
the
storm.
I,
not
sure
I
haven't
talked
to
anybody,
but
I
understand
their
power
came
back
Monday
night,
because,
where
my
mom
lives
in
Green
Dolphin,
the
residents
saw.
That
said,
they
saw
the
lights
go
up.
I
I
Yet
our
hospital
on
high
ground
with
promises
to
be
here
for
us
in
cases
of
emergency,
wasn't
so
I,
don't
know
all
the
details
on
that
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
stuff,
but
it
concerns
me
when
they
come
to
us
and
ask
for
assistance
from
us,
but
when
we're
needing
them
in
the
emergencies
that
they
say.
That's
why
they're
there
for
that
they're!
Not!
J
Mister
brought
up
just
now
and
the
fact
that
the
hospital
is
part
of
our
emergency
plan
here,
and
it
was
a
shock
to
me
as
well
that
that
they
closed
I,
don't
know
why
I
don't
run
hospitals
know
why
they
can't
I
can't
stay
open,
but
it
was
told
to
us
many
times.
It's
a
cat
freak
that
you
know:
Cat,
Cat,
Cat
or
a
building,
so
I
know
I've
already
talked
to
mark
about
it.
J
He
feels
the
same
way,
so
I
think
we're
gonna
be
looking
into
the
future
as
to
get
get
clarification
as
to
why
they
closed
and
get
get
better
on
knowledge
of
other
processes
there,
because
I
think
it's
Boosh
without
without
we
maintain
health
care
here,
especially
when
you
know
I
think
you.
It
was
a
surprise
to
us
all
one
that
when
they
when
they,
when
they
closed
so
quickly,
so
there'll
be
discussions
for
that
I'm
living
for
think.
A
J
K
Elizabeth
Posner
1259,
Wendy
bass
show
in
Tarpon
Springs
I
was
wondering.
When
are
we
going
to
get
all
the
branches
and
the
debris
from
the
storm
picked
up?
It
is
really
a
danger
on
our
little
road.
We've
got
tons
of
debris,
and-
and
all
we
need
is
a
good
wind
and
it's
going
to
be
blocking
our
road
again.
So
I
know
that
Tarpon
Springs
gave
it
to
FEMA.
Is
that
correct?
We're.
K
K
K
And
I
know
this
is
probably
not
on
the
agenda,
but
our
children
from
our
neighborhood
are
still
having
to
across
the
street
to
wait
for
their
school
bus
on
a
blind
curve
and
the
and
I've
gone
to
the
county,
because
it's
a
County,
Road
I've
asked
for
lighting,
because
in
in
the
winter
they
get
picked
up
at
six
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
it's
dark,
and
this
is
a
tragedy
waiting
to
happen.
I
don't
know
where
else
to
go
at
this
point
they
they've
been
bouncing
me
back
and
forth,
and
I
can't
even
get
lighting.
K
A
F
A
G
A
Good.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
presentation.
Hurricane
urban
discussion,
mayor
ala,
whose's,
well
a
place
aside,
ammonia
agenda,
you
have
a
discussion
and
we
formed
the
residents
on
the
hurricane
recovery
efforts.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
our
God
and
saying
it
goes
for
protecting
the
people
of
Tarpon,
Springs
and
I
hope.
Your
families,
you
or
your
families
are
doing
well
in
the
aftermath
of
the
hurricane
hurricane
Herman
has
been.
A
It
was
a
challenging
time
for
all
of
us
for
the
residents
for
the
businesses
for
the
whole
community,
but
I
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
congratulate
our
city,
employers
for
doing
an
excellent
job,
preparing
the
city
for
the
hurricane
and
continue
doing
an
exceptional
job
with
the
restoration
efforts
and
I
am
very,
very
happy
to
say
that
we
had
no
casualties
and
no
injuries.
Yes,
we
had
some
structural
damages.
Trees
went
down,
but
all
that
can
be
fixed
and
I'm
very
happy
for
that.
A
A
A
I
know
that
we
had
many
wires
on
the
street
the
trees
who
couldn't
abandon
picked
up,
because
why
is
one
of
the
top
of
it
and
it
wasn't
safe
for
our
employees
to
pick
them
up,
but
now
I
believe
all
that
has
been
removed
and
everything
all
the
services
are
being
restored.
Many
places,
of
course
the
repairs
were
done
temporarily.
They
have
to
go
back
and
it
redo
it
permanently.
A
A
A
Also,
staff
are
available
to
provide
recommendations
and
please
be
careful.
What
contract
is
the
yahar
make
sure
they're
legitimate
contractors,
and
to
my
fellow
commissioners,
this
storm
has
been
a
real
test
for
us.
We
need
to
review
our
processes
to
see
where
we
need
to
improve
to
go
forward.
We
have
some
things
that
we
need
to
approve
on
as
I
discussed
with
mr.
liquors,
and
we
both
agreed
that
we
need
a
better
cooperation
with
Duke
Energy.
They
need
to
be
part
of
our
armed
emergency
control.
A
Team
October,
18th
I
have
a
meeting
with
the
president
of
Duke
Energy
and
that's
one
of
the
items
that
we're
going
to
be
discussing
number
to
you.
After
the
storm
agencies
such
as
the
United
United
Way,
the
Red
Cross
Salvation
Army,
there
should
be
more
involved.
They
need
to
identify
those
citizens
with
the
special
needs
people
they
need
to
have
refrigeration
for
their
medicine
or
ice.
You
should
be
delivered
to
them.
A
A
A
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
am
very
proud
to
say
that
our
our
foresight
proved
correct
that
we
must
balance
the
budget
without
a
saving
without
a
using
the
savings
in
order
to
balance
the
budget.
Now,
savings
can
be
used
for
our
recovery
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
doing
that
I'm
sure
mr.
Lucas
would
tell
us
how
expensive
it
is.
This
restoration
process,
FEMA
officials
announced
that
residents
can
receive
assistance
from
the
federal
government.
A
Before
I
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Lucas,
again,
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
our
employees
on
all
levels
for
their
outstanding
job
and
I'm
sure
I'm
speaking
for
everyone
around
permission
to
the
city
manager
to
our
directors
appreciate
your
leadership.
You
guys
did
a
fantastic
job.
Thank
you
special
thanks
to
the
governor
Scott
for
his
leadership
and
guidance
near
the
hurricane.
He
stayed
in
touch
with
us
before,
during
and
after
the
hurricane
through
conference
calls.
A
A
Thank
you
to
congressman
Casas
Billy
raucous
to
the
County
Commission
Dave
Eggers.
But
there
are
ongoing
support
to
the
city,
but
specially
especially
I
like
to
thank
our
residents
for
their
understanding
their
cooperation.
They
are
the
greatest
thank
you
and
now
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Lee
Curtis.
To
give
us
an
update
on
the
restoration
effort.
L
L
Our
website
is
up
to
date
is
updated,
sometimes
three
times
a
day,
almost
any
question:
we
encourage
you
we're
getting
a
lot
of
questions,
but
a
lot
of
times
the
questions
they're
taking
away
people
from
working.
Almost
anything
you
can
think
of
is
on
the
website.
It's
updated
three
times
a
day
as
far
as
closings
openings
and
we've
tried
to
keep
that
along
the
way.
L
But
that's
one
of
the
things
we
plan
for
I
think
the
biggest
thing
in
the
storm
is
is
we're
planning.
We
were
ready.
We
had
a
lot
of
new
people
brand
new
chief
in
the
in
the
room
with
his
crew,
but
these
are
people
that
may
be
new
to
their
positions,
but
they're,
not
new
to
new
to
this
process
really
I've
been
through
a
lot
of
rodeos
with
this
with
emergency
management.
I,
remember
2004.
When
I
was
doing
the
emergency
management
four
times
in
a
month,
so
I've
been
through
a
lot
of
these.
L
A
lot
of
people
has
really
been
since
2004
since
we've
done
this,
but
we
never
stopped
from
2004.
We
never
got
complacent.
This
commission
gave
us
the
equipment
we
needed.
It
gave
us
a
state-of-the-art
emergency
management
room.
We
prepare
we
trained.
In
fact,
in
a
recent
training
with
other
cities,
a
lot
of
the
cities
kind
of
left
out
of
the
training
early,
we
stayed
the
whole
day
and
trained
we've
been
through
it.
We've
been
through
a
time
we
thought
a
direct
hit
was
coming
to
us
and
2004
four
hours
away.
L
That
was
a
scary
feeling
and
those
of
us
who
around
including
chief
young
chief
coaching,
that's
why
we're
ready,
because
we
remember
that
day
if
we
were
gonna
get
that
we
needed
to
be
ready
for
what
was
happening
right
now.
Of
course,
the
main
concern
is
debris
recovery
that
that
is
the
biggest
effort
that
you're
gonna
see
on
the
streets.
L
There's
a
reason
that
we
go
out
for
a
contract
for
a
company.
We
go
out
to
bid
for
a
company.
The
company
that
we
have
is
called
Crowder
golf
to
bid
for
if
this
ever
happens,
that
they've
devote
their
services
strictly
to
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs,
a
lot
of
places
in
the
county
of
consolidated
and
gone
in
with
the
county,
and
you
know
gone
in
with
them
to
get
it.
L
It's
always
been
Tarpons
feeling,
maybe
around
thirty
nine
years,
we
don't
like
to
depend
on
other
people
controlling
things
we
like
to
be
able
to
control
things
for
our
city.
That's
why
we
have
one
group
that
was
bid
that
is
capable
of
whatever
disaster
hits
us
that
they're
exclusively
ours.
They
work
for
us
they're,
not
told
by
a
county
or
anywhere
else.
You
got
to
go
here
and
there
we
have
complete
control
and
we
can.
We
can
have
them
out
there
for
our
citizens.
L
We
just
recently
renewed
the
bid
and
I
believe
it
was
June
for
this
company.
It
was
the
same
company
we
had
for
the
last
five
years,
a
five
year
contract.
We
don't
pay
them
for
the
five
years,
they're
sitting,
it's
not
a
contract,
were
they
on
contingency.
We
don't
pay
them.
Unless
this
comes
up,
not
only
is
this
good
to
have,
but
the
company
that
we
hired
also
have
specialists
to
do
the
FEMA
paperwork.
L
Obviously
the
initial
estimate
says
that
it
could
be
up
to
1.5
million
dollars
of
debris,
removal
that
would
be
the
expense
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs,
and
most
of
it
is
FEMA
reimbursable.
If
you
do
the
paperwork
right,
so
we
not
only
have
the
company
who
knows
about
debris,
not
only
picking
it
up
but
dealing
with
I
think
right
now
the
count
is
200
trees
that
we
have
to
bring
down
and
cut.
L
I
know
there's
about
another
200
trees,
that
we
have
to
secure
branches,
cut
branches
and
make
sure
they're
safe
and
we've
got
some
city
facilities
where
we
need
to
do
some
clearing.
So
this
is
not
just
going
around
picking
up
the
limbs
on
the
side
of
the
road
you
will
probably
see
it
will
probably
be
seven
to
ten
days
before
you
see.
A
substantial
amount
of
the
debris
started
be
picked
up.
That's
how
much
stuff
is
out
there.
We
probably
first
city
our
size,
have
the
most.
L
We
got
14
trucks
from
this
company
dedicated
to
us,
I,
don't
think
I've
heard
of
anywhere
else.
That
has
that
many.
But
obviously,
if
you
see
it,
it's
a
it's,
not
a
fast
process
and
Commission.
You
can
expect
from
the
last
time,
because
where
are
we,
we
haven't
seen
them.
Well,
you
know:
there's
some
local
areas
which
the
streets
are
so
bad:
the
smaller
streets
that
you'd
think
they
would
do
the
main
routes
first,
but
a
lot
of
the
main
routes.
The
stuff
is
on
the
side
of
the
road,
not
obstruction.
L
There
are
some
residential
streets,
worse,
a
danger
and
safety.
So
safety
comes
first,
so
you
may
not
see
him
right
away,
but
it's
gonna
be
seven
to
ten
days
before
you
see
some
substantial
difference
and
we
believe
this
crews
gonna
be
here
at
least
60
days
before
the
process
is,
is
finished
because
of
the
volume
we've
had
to
close
the
yard
waste
facility.
That
is
because
they
need
the
entire
yard
waste
facility
for
the
amount
of
debris
out
there.
L
Citizens
did
have
a
low
leeway
of
three
days
to
bring
their
yard
waste
there,
but
the
size
of
the
operation.
We
just
have
no
choice
and
we
have
to
measure
we
have
to
weigh
and
the
amount
of
debris
is
gonna
defer
someone
you
get
the
questions.
Why
is
the
yard
waste
this
club
because
there's
no
place
for
to
bring
anything
else,
then
we
need.
L
L
Imagine
if
we've
been
like
the
horrid
pictures,
you
see
a
Cibrian
April's.
You
know
you'd
be
talking
about
three
four
five
million,
but
this
reminds
people
of
why
and
sanitation
in
in
your
city
budget,
why?
You
have
a
large
amount
of
money
just
sitting
there
just
to
see
what
operations
be
going,
so
the
work
will
be
you'll,
be
seeing
the
work
they'll
be
out
there.
Picking
up
again
it
may
be.
You
know
you
may
not
see
them
for
a
week
in
your
neighborhood
picking
up
things
but
will
be
out.
L
There
will
get
it
cleared
as
fast
as
possible.
Again,
we've
got
probably
per
capita
more
trucks
out
there,
they're
working
than
any
place
at
least
I've,
seen
or
heard
of
before,
so
we'll
be
working
hard
to
do
it,
but
again,
don't
SPECT
in
two
or
three
days.
You'll
see
a
lot
of
debris.
Up
is
just
not
gonna
happen
didn't
happen
in
the
previous
storms.
L
You're,
not
gonna,
see
it
around
the
county,
but
they're
gonna
be
working
hard
and
that's
what
we're
expecting
right
now,
the
only
road
main
road,
closings
Riverside
and
thanking
us
about
one
o'clock
today,
Riverside
opened
up
that
was
an
area
hit
hard
I
can
tell
you
we
had.
We
had
some
places
hit
hard,
looking
like
war
zones
with
just
some
of
the
reasons
why
some
of
the
places
didn't
have
the
power
up.
L
Not
only
did
you
see
the
lines
in
the
street,
but
poles
around
it
were
snapped
that
you
didn't
see
so
some
of
the
people
who
spent
three
or
four
days
it
was
just
impossible
to
get
the
power
up
in
well.
I
haven't
been
the
you
know,
biggest
fan
of
Duke
Energy
being
out
there
constantly
on
this
city.
You
know
on
my
patrols
every
two
or
three
hours
for
the
duration.
You
know
trucks
from
Wisconsin
trucks
from
Canada
those
those
people
were
working
day
and
night.
L
Some
of
I
know
one
crew
left
at
12:00
midnight
only
because
by
by
the
labor
laws
and
by
the
ability
of
they
had
to
sleep
because
they
wanted
to
finish
some
people's
homes,
but
they
had
to
be
ordered
to
leave,
because
you
know
you
just
got
it.
You
have
to
have
safety
with
those
lines
and
stuff,
so
everybody
you
saw
there
working
feverishly
and
then,
when
they
didn't
meet
the
a
deadline
of
Friday
at
midnight
when
I
rode
the
streets
first
thing
Saturday
morning
they
were
on
the
spot.
L
So
by
Saturday
morning
I
think
there
was
only
4%
of
Tarpon
that
was
left
without
power.
So
meeting
your
deadline
by
4%
was
good
and
I
can
tell
you
the
area
I
knew
the
areas
where
it
wasn't
power,
because
my
house
was
one
of
them.
I
knew
the
tangled
mess
that
they
had
to
try
to
do
and
try
to
get
to
to
get
to
it.
But
you
know
obviously
I
don't
have
any
influence
of
the
storm.
Since
I
was
one
of
the
last
four
percent
to
get
power
up.
L
L
Now,
on
the
tough
part,
the
paperwork
all
the
documentation,
not
only
for
you
residents
who
had
your
home
damaged,
but
again,
so
we
as
a
city
get
your
tax
payers
money
back
eventually
for
what
was
done
and
that
will
replace
the
reserve
that
we've
had
to
use
so
again,
there'll
be
updates
on
the
website.
You
know
probably
three
times
a
day
until
we're
finished.
If
we
get
some
information
of
specific
areas,
we're
gonna
be
picking
up
and
we'll
try
to
get
that
out.
L
We
hate
to
do
it
because
sometimes
it's
changed
and
we
tell
neighborhood
we're
gonna,
be
there
Wednesday
and
then
something
comes
up.
We
got
to
give
them
somewhere
else.
We
get
a
lot
of
phone
calls
and
screaming
you
said:
you're
a
be
there
when's.
This
that's
like
we'll
try
to
tell
some
general
areas
as
they
get
out
there,
try
to
keep
you
informed
and
and
work
hard
to
get
it
all
restored
and
and
back
to
order.
A
L
That
was
one
amazing
when
we
tell
later
again,
I
didn't
have
a
lot
of
department
heads
here
to
tell
the
stories
and
stuff
it's
gonna
have
to
be
several
weeks
or
so
because
they're
out
there
hard
working
and
since
last
Sunday
morning,
they've
been
working,
but
because
of
the
power
issues
we
were,
we
survived
with
the
water
plant.
We
were
very
close
to
having
to
exercise
another
great
decision
of
this
commission
to
keep
the
ability
of
Pinellas
County's
water
come
on.
L
We
warned
that
within
24
hours
we
didn't
get
power
restored,
we
may
have
to
bring
in
Pinellas
County
water.
We
didn't
eliminate
that
possibility.
We
had
our
own
plant,
but
there's
one
case
where
a
case
where
Duke
knew
the
severity
and
they
got
us
up
in
plenty
of
time
for
the
water
situation,
the
sewer
in
the
lift
stations.
At
time
we
had
up
to
50
lift
stations
that
was
out.
We
don't
have
50
generators
or
50.
L
We
had
the
third
day
of
the
storm
after
a
lot
of
people
had
been
out
there
for
two
straight
days
on
double
shifts.
We
had
to
put
it
on
percent
of
the
group
home
and
have
an
emergency
crew
out
there
for
midnight
to
go
around
from
midnight,
the
6
a.m.
to
pump
the
lift
stations
manually,
so
we
wouldn't
have
overflowing
again.
These
are
people
been
working
two
days
16-hour
days
and
hard.
They
went
and
rested
and
kept
at
home
very
minimal.
We
did
not
have
a
spills
result
of
the
outages.
L
L
We
were
pumping
them
before
they
could
get
there
and
stuff.
So
it
wasn't
even
I
know
a
rumor
went
around.
Could
we
started
getting
call
a
room
or
somebody
we've
misinformation
spreading
that
there's
gonna
be
super
overflowing
in
the
street
throughout
then,
and
they
were
never
even
close,
because
we
had
a
plan
of
somebody
regularly
going
and
and
pumping
it
down
so
that
they
didn't
reach
a
spill,
but
those
crews
to
keep
that
water
going
so
we'd
have
to
shut
it
off
and
keep.
L
L
We
can
tell
you
some
more
of
those
stories
and
stuff
that
went
on,
but
you
know
you
couldn't
be
more
prouder
of
our
worker,
our
workers
out
there
again
from
the
emergency
management
people
who
are
ready
than
the
people
out
there,
keeping
water,
sewer
and
and
those
running
have
a
little
bit
of
amenities
with
no
electricity.
Thank.
A
J
Yes,
I
support
everything
that
the
mayor
has
proposed
and
said
I
along
with
him.
We
got
spend
two
days
in
the
EOC
and
witnessed
firsthand
how
well
prepared
that
the
this
the
city
was
in
the
beginning
when
the
track
was
not
looking
very
good
for
us,
it
was
sobering,
but
I
felt
a
confidence
when
I
was
down
there
in
the
room
and
seeing
all
the
department
has
ready
to
go.
J
Yeah
I
think
we
are
the
most
prepared
independent
city
in
Tampa,
Bay,
I
I
would
put
already
you've
seen
operations
up
against
anybody
and
I
think
that
I
would.
That
was
especially
true
morale.
We
had
those
conference
calls
in
the
morning
in
the
evening
with
the
county
not
to
make
fun
of
anybody,
but
it
was
very
evident
that
there
was
some
agencies
if
you
will
that
were
not
as
prepared
as
we
were
so
I.
J
Think
that's
I
think
it's
a
I
think
it's
time
slightly
like
like
this,
even
with
what
Mark
said
about,
but
we
have
our
own
contractor
before
the,
but
it's
pretty
the
debris
where
you
see
the
difference,
but
a
full-service
city
and
being
reliant
upon
the
county.
To
me
it
to
me
is
it's
it's
it's
night
and
day
and
and
I
think
it
helps
you
see
where
you
where
your
tax
dollar
dollars
are
going
and
that's
why
we
have
eight.
We
have
eight
eight
million
million
dollars
in
their
reserve
button.
J
We
got
hit
barely
by
it
by
a
category
one.
A
little
regular
wasn't
gonna
spend
one
way
like
when
one
went
five
at
least
million
dollars.
Imagine
if
it
was
a
two
or
three
or
four.
So
that's
what
well
that's
what
we
have,
though
those
those
funds
there
again
I
want
to.
Thank
all
of
our
department,
heads
and
I
know
marks
gonna
come
back
at
an
appropriate
time
for
needs
that
we
have
as
a
city,
I'm
sure,
generators,
but
the
lift
stations
and
whatnot
and
that's
an
appropriate
use
of
reserve
funds.
J
That's
why
they're
there
and
I
just
I
just
couldn't
be
more
more
more
more
more
more
proud
after
for
two
days
watching
the
EOC,
what
the
department
heads
were
doing,
how
they
were
responding,
I'm
very
impressed.
As
far
as
the
power
goes,
you
know,
of
all
my
family's
homes
and
buildings,
half
dot,
we're
sort
of
quickly
half
were
little
later
on.
J
It
didn't
make
a
rhyme
or
reason
how
you
know
I'm
still
impressed,
even
though
there's
lots
of
room
for
foreigner
or
implement
with
Duke
that
we
had
a
category
one
hurricane
in
less
than
a
week
we
have,
we
have,
we
have
full
full
full
full
power
restored.
So
I
was
impressed
with
that.
I
honestly
thought
it
was
gonna,
be
much
much
much
longer
so,
but
I'm
interested
to
see
moving
forward
with
the
mayor's
meeting
with
the
president
of
Duke
in
October
and
how
we
can
better
incorporate
them
into
our
EOC.
J
So
we
have
some
more
influence
over
special
needs
areas
in
the
city
that
could
possibly
be
the
restored
sooner
and
obviously,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
hospital,
because
I
consider
that
crucial
as
as
part
of
our
plan
but
III
again,
thank
everybody.
I
want
to
thank
mark
I,
know
I,
don't
think
he
slept
much
in
the
past
two
weeks
and
I
I
had
every
confidence
in
the
world,
even
if
the
worst
track
happened,
but
thank
God.
It
didn't
that
we
would.
J
M
You
you
know,
we
are
very
lucky:
we've
paired
very
well
in
this
community
and
I,
just
I
get
so
upset
when
I
see
postings
on
Facebook
and
people
complaining
about
this
no
power.
Now
that
you
know
what
we're
lucky
and
we're
blessed
that
we
were,
we
were
really
spared,
but
when
it
comes
to
our
safety,
I'll
tell
you.
We
are
in
good
hands
chief
young
chief,
coaching
and,
of
course,
our
city
manager.
They
did
an
outstanding
job,
keeping
us
updated
throughout
the
entire
storm,
keeping
the
Commission
updated
it
was,
it
was
amazing
and
I
went.
M
You
know.
I
went
over
to
the
to
emergency
center
and
I
was
so
impressed
with.
How
were
they
had
everything
set
up
and
you
know
they
just
jumped
in
and
our
department
heads
jumped
in.
We
had
even
that
some
of
the
ladies
Manning,
the
phones,
the
phone
lines
are
ringing
like
crazy
and
they
were
Manning.
The
phones
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
M
The
morning
after
the
storm,
I
of
course
got
soon
as
I
can
get
the
board's
off
my
front
door.
I
went
out
to
the
streets
to
see
what
was
going
on
and
in
my
in
my
neighborhood
alone,
there
was
already
it
was
7
8
o'clock.
In
the
morning
there
was
already
crews
out
there,
city
crews,
clearing
the
streets
with
trucks,
clearing
clearing
them,
so
we
can
get
out.
M
It
was
absent.
Driving
through
the
through
Tarpon
and
I,
was
on
Gulf
Road,
and
there
was
some
damage
to
a
residence
home
and
I
was
looking
at
it,
and
here
comes
some
city.
Employee
actually
was
a
Anthony
and
he
got
out
of
his
truck
and
he's
assessing
the
damage
within
the
community,
and
you
know
right
away.
You
know
he
explained
to
the
homeowner
about
permits
are
written
right
on
the
spot.
If
you
need
a
permit
for
your
roof
or
for
any
damage.
That's
done.
M
He
made
a
little
report
and
he
was
immediately
like
I
said,
going
around
the
entire
community
assessing
damage.
So
I
was
really
impressed
with
that
and
then
I
heard
about
the
lift
stations
and
these
and
this
crew
was
working
tremendous
hour
and
and
sucking
out
everything
with
that
truck
I
mean
that's
amazing.
I,
don't
know
who
came
up
with
that
idea,
but
that's
amazing,
probably
mark
I,
have
to
give
I
got
to
say.
I
have
to
give
this
any
manager
a
lot
of
credit
he's
always
calm
and
I.
Look
to
him.
You
know.
M
He
didn't
he
does.
He
leaves
the
city
well,
and
we
really
need
to
think
thank
Mark
for
that.
He
does
leave
the
city.
Well,
he's
got
a
lot
of
knowledge
being
ex-chief,
and
now
city
manager
he's
been
around
a
long
time.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
knowledge
and
everything,
and
your
many
hours
that
I
know
you
did
sleeping
on
a
cot.
M
I
appreciate
that.
But
again,
this
this
city
did
was
did
an
amazing
job.
The
the
the
city
staff
was
just
they
went
above
and
beyond
and
above
board
and
I
know
they
still
have
a
lot
more
work
ahead
of
them,
but
we
pulled
together
as
a
city
as
a
family
and
I.
Don't
want
to
thank
everybody
for
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
F
Thank
you,
of
course,
I
agree
with
my
colleagues.
I,
don't
want
to
repeat
everything.
I
did
want
to
add
one
thing
about
the
debris:
pickup
driving
around
the
neighborhood's
I
noticed
that
a
lot
of
people
have
bagged
their
de
Brees
and
we
were
told
no
plastic
will
be
picked
up
right.
So
I
just
want
its
citizens
to
know
that
if
you
have
all
your
debris
back
bagged
in
plastic
bags,
that's
cut
the
plastic
off
or
whatever
you
need
to
do
because
they
will
not.
So
do
you
want
to
say
something
to
that
mark.
Yes,.
L
And
even
though,
as
we
always
do,
we
have
a
contingency
plan
if
they
aren't
just,
we
don't
want
to
leave
them
out
there.
So
so
we
want
you
to
try
to
I
know,
there's
some
concerns
that
wind
goes
up.
It
goes
around
we'd
like
you
to
do
it,
but
for
those
the
word
doesn't
get
out.
We
do
have
a
contingency
plan,
so
there's
not
a
bunch
of
bags
sitting
out
there.
That
would
do,
but
it'll
save
us
a
lot
of
time
on
that
pick
up
and
stuff.
L
If,
if
you
do
just
dump
the
bags
out
on
the
corner,
Street
but
again,
there's
some
circumstances,
some
Locker
right
away.
There
are
some
reasons
why
you
can't,
and
if
those
are
the
situation's,
then
we'll
take
care
of
that
there
they're
picking
up,
because
there
are
some
certain
situation
where
there's
not
room
for
anything,
we're
not
room
to
dump
them,
though
we've
seen
some
places
where
we've
told
them
just
leave
it
there
we'll
take
care
of
it.
But
anybody
who
can
do
the
bags
then
and
do
that,
then
that
would
be
best
but
I.
F
F
We,
you
kept
us
up
to
date,
but
we
needed
to
keep
our
citizens
and
our
business
owners
up
to
date,
and
we
did
that
through
our
website
and-
and
you
know,
communicating
with
our
citizens
and
and
business
owners
and,
of
course,
our
public
works
department
who
worked
tirelessly
with
those
pumping
lift
stations,
and
we
had
no
backups
in
our
own
water
supply
is
amazing
and
all
of
the
department
heads
that
work
together
and,
of
course,
the
chief,
the
two
Chiefs
here,
everybody
working
together
as
a
team.
We
were
the
greatest.
Thank
you
when.
G
G
L
G
L
But
they've
had
to
make
an
elaborate
setup
over
in
our
yard
waste
facility.
So
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
his
finishing
that
setup
that
he
started
over
the
weekend.
But
they
were
finishing
that
prepared
to
bring
the
debris
to
with
the
proper
measure
and
yardage
and
stuff.
So
people
start
seeing
the
trucks
more
frequently
tomorrow
and
the
next
day
and.
G
L
L
G
K
G
I
Peter
lacks
five
one:
four
excellent
Avenue
first
off,
as
many
of
you
up
here
might
know,
but
people
out
here
don't
know
if
I
stand,
I
can
stand
corrected,
but
I
think
our
EOC
Center
received
an
award
and
we've
also
had
people
come
from
other
cities
to
see
our
emergency
operation
center
and
how
it
functions.
Yeah.
E
I
That
correct
yeah,
so
we
are
on
top
of
things.
Secondly,
as
far
as
all
the
debris
removal
I
did
go
online
and
I
saw
the
link,
storm
information,
I'm,
not
sure
which
link
it
was
describing
how
to
separate
what
people
are
putting
out
yard
waste,
electronics,
construction,
material
paperwork
and
things
of
that
nature.
I
I
I
I
Right,
thirdly
and
I'm
glad
it
was
on
your
list
about
the
radio
station
because
mark
well,
no
I've
brought
this
up
before
I
think.
What
is
it?
1610
is
the
frequency
you
can't
get
it
beyond.
Maybe
a
half
a
mile
and
I
had
asked
even
when
I
was
on
a
commission
to
have
us
apply
to
the
FCC,
to
upgrade
our
transmission
capabilities
and
also
to
maybe
change
how
it's
coded
is
how
it's
used
first
off
off
the
subject
that
radio
station
can
be
used
for
a
lot
more
than
the
public
safety
announcements.
I
And
if
you
do
here,
you'll
see
a
loop
of
about
there's
a
singie
song
about
seatbelts
and
all
these
things.
So
for
older
folks
and
a
lot
of
our
seniors
who
don't
have
internet
or
don't
know
how
to
use
it
or
you
don't
have
electricity,
and
you
got
that
little
am/fm
radio.
We
need
to
boost
it
up
by
what
are
we
50
watts?
I
Maybe
at
the
most
we
need
at
least
a
thousand
or
five
thousand
to
be
able
to
reach
the
West
End
and
the
East
End,
because
that
I
mean
what
do
they
say,
get
a
portable
radio
and
batteries
simple.
So
that
would
be
the
communication
tools,
because
when
I
would
go
to
my
mom's
neighborhood
or
some
other
places,
people
were
not
sure.
Well,
what
did
we
do
about
this
or
I
I
would
tell
them
don't
bag
and
says
well,
I
already
bagged
or
what
wins
wins?
The
water
or
all?
I
I
A
We
are
now
going
to
the
consent
agenda.
I
know
number
2
is
the
are
20
of
these
invoice

number
three?
Is
the
award

and
there's
our
as
miscellaneous

pronounced

Department
number

is
the

and
this

A
Number

there's

there's

and
as

We
also
have
a

addendum
number
one
a
special
event:
we
survived,
ournament
weakened
businesses,
promotion
event,
September,
23
and
24
2017
I'm
sure
we're
going
to
pull
the
consent
agenda
to
discuss
it.
B
B
A
F
As
we
all
know
that
our
citizens
suffered
damage
and-
and
you
know
not
a
very
pleasant
experience
this
past
week,
but
our
businesses
did
as
well
and
I
was
approached
by
some
business
owners
who
asked
what
can
we
do
to
help
them?
Many
business
owners
were
closed
from
3
days
to
10
days,
which
not
only
affected
the
business
owners,
but
all
the
people
that
they
employ,
they
lost
power.
F
So
I
want
to
thank
Mark
for
for
proving
this,
and
if
this
is
past
tonight,
we
will
have
a
flyer
go
out
to
our
businesses
that
we've
that
we're
coming
up
with
and
advertise
this
and
and
make
sure
everybody
knows
about
this.
So
we
can
help
our
business
owners
so
I'm
hoping
this
will
pass
and
I
know
that
they
suffered
a
lot
of
losses
as
well
and
we
want
to
help
them
out
as
a
city.
F
A
F
J
L
J
I
make
sure
we
make
that
clear
and
we
make
we
make
it
known
that
that
they
can
do
this
and
in
the
meantime
this
week,
that's
any
other
rules
and
rules
and
regulations
that
we
could
suspend
in
a
temporary
fashion
that
can
help
beyond
this
week,
our
permitting
and
everything
that
bring
bring
that
to
our
attention.
Sir
I'm
sure
it'll
receive
full
support,
but
no
I
do
want
to
thank
I
know.
J
There
was
a
few
restaurants
that
got
very
lucky
got
power
back
quickly
and
you
know
I
wanted
to
hop
in
there
real
bad,
so
I
went
to
one
and
it's
like
a
feeding
station
and
those
David.
They
really
busted
their.
You
know
back
size
to
do
that
and
they
were
looking.
They
got
power
quickly,
so
this
hopefully,
will
help
those
that
were
not
so
lucky
and
with
all
their
merchandise,
I'm
glad
were
able
to
follow
suit
and
what
just
makes
sense
and
suspend
some
rules
for
the
weekend
to
help
them
out.
Thank.
A
A
G
Is
a
quick
comment
to
encourage
anyone
out
in
the
audience
and
watching
online
we've
got
so
many
wonderful
businesses
within
Tarpon
Springs,
very,
very
unique
businesses
as
well.
So
if
you
haven't
been
around
town
up-and-down
on
ultra
19
downtown
throughout
the
Sponge
Docks
and
other
corners
around
town
get
out
and
check
out
out,
I
mean
we've
got
some
really
great
things
going
on
in
town,
so
I'm
glad
to
see

You
drive
also
work

when
this
idea
came
up,
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
idea,
I
hope,
you'll
all
support
it
and
I
think
what
we
need
to
do.
Is
we
train
to
find
out
like

to
make
sure
that
we

F
To

this
is

have
it
on

get
it
out

as
possible.
I

we
appreciate
you
coming
and
supporting
their
businesses
in

A
L
2005
I
would
believe-
and
it
was
after
again,
I-
think
those
series
of
hurricanes
2004,
where
I
described,
to
give
three
people
together
to
have
a
meeting
this
commission
to
in
ordinance
to
give
me
the
authority
to
declare
state
of
emergencies
and
for
you,
the
ratified
it
next
available.
You're
not
only
gonna
ratify
that
decision,
but
we
piggybacked
in
the
county
when
they
did
their
extension
last
Thursday,
which
your
state
of
emergencies
on
the
last
seven
days
have
them
extensions.
L
So
we've
done
that
so
we'll
be
in
place
until
Thursday
I,
don't
think
the
county
will
extend
it.
We're
fully
covered
for
what
happens.
So
what
you're
doing
tonight
is
ratifying
the
decision
to
declare
the
state
of
emergency
and
to
extend
it
from
last
Thursday
in
conjunction
both
instances
with
the
county
declaring
thank.

in

by

only
second

to

after

Pinellas
County.
O
Evening
everybody-
this
is
the
last
of
our
evaluation
appraisal
report
amendments
that
we
have
to
conduct.
Essentially,
you
adopted
a
letter
that
we
sent
last
year
to
the
state
and
identified
this
particular
issue
on
the
coastal
element
dealing
with
the
perils
of
Flood

that
was
passed
in
2015.
This
is
us
finishing
up
that
final
section
by
adding
a
group
of
policies
and
an
objective
to
essentially
address

O
Your
ear
is
really
required
in
2018,
so
we
need
to
get
our
our
regulations
in
place
first.
So
this
is
our
attempt
to
at
least
comply
initially
with
the
perils
of
thought
act
and
realizing
that's
going
to
change
based
on
the
studies
that
are
going
to
be
going
forward
in
the
very
near
future
and
I
can
answer
any
particular
questions
that
you
have.

Hello:
everyone,
my
name,
is
Tricia
Bryant
Rodriguez
I
live
at
384
for
Holiday,
Lake,
Drive
and
holiday.
I.
Do
want
to
thank
you,
everyone
here
for
all
your
hard
work
and
tarpon
springs
and
although
I
live
right
on
the
other
side
of
the
county
line,
I
do
believe
that
my
heart
resides
here
in
Tarpon.
P
So
I
just
want
to
say
once
again,
hello
and
good
evening
to
everybody
here.
I
want
to
thank
the
Board
of
Commissioners
for
my
opportunity
to
speak
regarding
ordinance,
2017
26,
the
coastal
element,
which
is
a
first
reading.
I
am
a
student
of
st.
Petersburg
College
in
the
public
policy
administration
program,
I
work
under
the
guidance
and
direction
of
my
professor
dr.
P
crunch,
novel,
whom
I
have
great
admiration
and
respect
for
I
want
to
thank
Heather
or
wheeler
for
taking
me
to
the
perils
of
flood
workshop
on
March
31st
for
Pinellas
County
and
the
Tampa
Bay
Regional
Planning
Council
I
want
to
thank
her
for
answering
so
many
of
my
questions
since
then
regarding
this
ordinance,
I'm
also
very
happy
to
have
met
with
and
spoken
to
so
many
planners
and
city
officials
from
all
over
Tampa
Bay.
During
the
workshop
mr.
P
P
The
issue
the
statue
and
our
amendment
addresses
is
the
issues
relating
to
the
rise
of
sea
levels
in
the
tarpon
springs,
comprehensive
plan,
Kohl
3.0,
specifically
states
protect
human
life
and
limit
public
expenditures
in
areas
subject
to
destruction
by
natural
disasters.
With
the
new
edition
of
verbage
and
sea
level
rise,
there
are
many
stakeholders
in
tarpon
springs
and
the
entire
state
of
Florida.
With
regards
to
this
perils
of
flood
statute,
a
large
portion
of
tarpon
springs,
flood-prone
areas.
P
E
P
Worry
about
rising
insurance
rates
on
their
property.
Our
city
officials
have
the
same
concerns,
but
these
are
compounded
by
the
responsibility
which
comes
with
their
positions.
They
must
plan
ahead
for
these
events,
as
we've
seen
that
happen,
they
are
also
the
ones
to
whom
our
community
turns
to
for
advice,
health
and
salvation.
Their
perspectives
are
quite
different.
Our
first
responders
are
also
major
stakeholders
in
this
ordinance
and
the
Florida
Statute.
P
They
must
be
the
first
on
the
scene
when
disaster
strikes-
and
this
is
a
difficult
position
to
be
in
I,
have
the
utmost
respect
and
for
anyone
that
puts
their
lives
on
the
line
for
the
public.
The
coastal
element
changes
will
address
many
areas
of
concern
for
these
stakeholders.
If
this
language
is
adopted,
the
city
will
have
the
use
of
the
most
current
incredible
data
regarding
sea
level,
rise
for
planning
and
infrastructure
and
any
capital
improvement
expenditures
in
the
coastal
high
hazard
area.
P
The
changes
will
include
high
tide
events,
storm
surge,
flash
floods,
storm
water,
runoff
and
the
related
impacts
of
sea
level
rise.
This
ordinance
will
also
address
the
National
Flood
Insurance
Committee
community
rating
system.
Flood
insurance
discounts,
tarpon
springs
is
currently
rated
out
of
seven
working
towards
becoming
a
six,
and
that
gives
a
community
an
average
of
15%
discount
on
the
rates
to
close
I
wish
to
make
a
recommendation
that
we
adopt
this
ordinance
because
it
will
adopt
specific
language
to
become
more
consistent
with
the
state
statute.

For
bringing
this
forward
and
addressing
this
doesn't
matter
what
side
of
the
political
party
realm
you're
on
it
would
be
different
reasons.
I
guess
the
thing
which
party
are
with,
but
the
sea
levels
are
rising
in
Tarpon,
Springs
and
Florida
area,
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
addressing
this
with
our
plan
here
but
I
know
it's
gonna,
be
a
lot
of
extra
costs
coming
in
the
near
future
for
roads
and
looking
at
roads
of
raising
roads
and
doing
some
other
things
that
around
our
bayous
and
sponged
off
areas
and
looking
at
something.
