Heavenly
Father
we've
gathered
here
to
do
your
business
this
evening.
For
all
we
do
touches
the
lives
of
your
children,
people.
You
love
how
maple
mayor
Alan
hooses
each
Commissioner,
each
official
to
perform
their
duties
with
compassion
and
strength.
Thank
you
for
their
sacrifice
and
dedication
to
the
people
of
Tarpon
Springs
bless.
Their
families
bless
their
lives.
May
we
all
enjoy
safety
in
this
dangerous
world?
May
each
of
us
help
others
in
need,
and
may
we
take
seriously
our
responsibility
as
citizens
to
serve
protect
lead
in
advance
this
community?

A
Without
doing
vice
mayor
Jeff,
Jeff
Jeff
Jeff
Larson
last
year
to
start
it's
always
nice
to
have
something
a
little
bit
light
on
a
night
like
this,
so
well
townsend.
If
I
may,
we
all
know
how
you
love
the
title
vice
mayor
and
you
were
well
I,
think
I
think
you
served
at
that
office
well,
and
we
know
that
you
like
to
drive
around
town
a
lot
right
and
you
have
that
a
public
works
half
a
front
of
your
car
right
right
there.
A
H
I,
do
I've
been
sitting
up
your
next
to
you
for
about
three
years
now,
four
years,
exactly
exactly
almost
but
yeah
you're
a
little
bit
hard
to
get
to
know
and
in
as
a
guidance
counselor
I
was
playing
bass,
conversation
and
and
I
was
listening
skills
and
maybe
a
year
after
I
knew
you
were
started.
Having
some
conversation,
so
I
I
now
feel
like
I'm
living
a
little
bit
better
and
I
know.
H
F
Vice
mayor
Tara,
fanny
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service.
It
really
has
been
a
pleasure
serving
with
you.
You
always
been
very,
very
sad
for
thoughtful
and
he
always
tried
to
make
the
right
decisions
for
tarpon
springs
and
to
me
it's
a
special
reward.
Knowing
that
you
were
did
an
excellent
job
as
the
commissioners
vice
mayor,
because
I
believe
that
I
had
to
influence
you
look
at
in
order
to
run
off
the
show
after
special
night
and
thank
you
for
doing
that.
Thank.
O
A
Thank
you
vice
mayor
I
mean
it
seems
like
just
yesterday,
and
that
was
six
years
ago
now
that
it
was
your
election
party.
Remember,
I
was
telling
somebody
I
had
to
get
out
of
jury
duty
to
go
to
that,
and
so
I
just
can't
believe.
Six
years
has
blown
by
on
your
contributions
to
this
board.
While
your
years
of
service
can
definitely
be
measured
in
six
years,
I
think
what
you
brought
to
the
table
and
which
you
gave
to
tarpon
will
be
realized
years.
A
H
To
agree
with
everything
that
Commissioner
of
banter
said,
we
may
not
have
always
agreed
on
some
items,
but
I
think
we
work
well
together
as
a
board.
You
were
always
very
respectful,
respectful
civil
and
unprofessional
and
I
appreciate
your
professionalism
of
here
and
your
civility,
and
that
will
be
missed
as
well.
And,
of
course,
all
your
knowledge
that
you
brought
this
board
so
I
appreciate,
haven't,
got
forgotten
to
know
you
a
little
bit
better
and
you
helping
me
learn
a
few
things,
so
you
will
be
missed.
Thank,
You,
Commission,.
F
G
You
represented
our
city
well
with
your
knowledge
and
your
expertise
and
I
feel
that
we
worked
well
together
and
we
helped
move
the
city
in
a
whole
new
direction
and
again
it
has
to
do
a
lot
of
your
knowledge
anywhere
letÃs
and
I'm
honored
to
say
that
I
started
with
you
all
the
years
and
I
hope
to
see
you
back
here
sitting
on
this
board
in
some
capacity
very
soon
you
will
be
missed.
Thank.
M
Dr.
Yunus
drive
I'd
like
to
just
take
a
moment
and
thank
all
the
commissioners
for
their
service.
I
know
you,
people
get
a
lot
more
complaints
and
you
get
kudos
so
I'd
like
to
give
you
one
this
evening
and
I
really
appreciate
as
I'm
sure
most
of
the
citizens
do
the
time
and
effort
you
put
in
and
in
particularly,
I
would
like
to
thank
Vice
Mayor
Tara
pani
for
the
services
provided
the
city.
M
F
P
Need
a
protist
mine
on
one
bay
shore,
towns
and
I'm,
so
proud
of
you
you're
well
spoken,
you're,
a
businessman
you're
a
great
leader
for
tarpon
and
I've.
Cried
because
I
see
your
son
here,
I!
Remember
what
I
changed
your
diaper,
but
you've
made
your
family
proud
and
you
stand
for
a
great
legacy
if
tarpon
springs
a
family
background,
you
listen
to
your
family.
You
listen
to
your
grandfather.
You've
listened
to
your
uncles
and
you
listen
to
your
pop
poo
on
your
mother's
side
and
you
have
so
much
to
be
proud
of.
P
So
maybe
one
day
little
Leon
will
be
mayor,
but
I
bought
a
I
got
a
ball
of
vitamins.
This
saturday
from
the
health
food
store
I'm
taking
two
a
day,
because
I'm
ready
for
your
next
run
and
I
hope
I'm
alive
to
see
you
doing
it
and
getting
old
so
start
working
on
it.
Anyways.
Thank
you
for
the
service
you've.
Given
us
I
think
the
proudest
thing
is
is
when
you
would
speak
on
issues.
It
showed
your
intelligence.
P
It
showed
your
dedication
to
tarpon
and
thank
you
for
the
dedication
you've
given
to
the
historic
preservation
of
tarpon
and
I.
Just
can't
believe
that
little
tear
panty
served
as
a
commissioner
and
vice
mayor.
He
was
something
else
when
he
was
little
and
his
cowboy
hat
and
boots
and
his
jeans
I'm
so
proud
of
you
Townsend.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
having
an
open
mind
on
all
the
issues.
I
Kathy
Monahan
214
banana
Street
tarpon
springs.
I
just
wanted
to
save
my
appreciation
for
I
know
you
spearheaded
the
effort
to
put
those
street
lights
around
the
bayou
and
it's
something
that
people
wanted
for
a
long
time.
They
look
beautiful,
appreciate
them
every
day.
Thank
you
for
that.
Your
efforts
and
that
specific
thing
and
many
others
as
well.
Thank
you.
F
K
K
Thank
You
mayor
Thank,
You
commissioners.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
tonight.
Many
that
know
me
and
that
I've
served
with
know
that
I
generally
do
not
read
from
a
prepared
remarks.
I
usually
like
to
speak
from
my
heart
and
go
for
my
gut,
but
on
this
scenario,
I
have
so
much
that
I'd
like
to
say
that
I
did
prepare
some
remarks.
So
I've
asked
that
you
bear
with
me.
K
I
have
nine
pages,
so
I
will
keep
you
here
that
one
but
and
I
also,
you
know,
feel
very
strongly
about
everything
that
I
have
to
say.
So,
if
my
emotions
get
the
best
of
me,
I
apologize
in
advance
I'd
like
to
thank
the
public
for
making
this
dream
of
mine
possible
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
of
a
lifetime.
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
your
confidence
in
me.
Thank
you
for
standing
on
street
corners
and
holding
signs
for
me.
Thank
you
for
your
donations.
K
Thank
you
for
talking
to
your
neighbor
about
me
and
encouraging
them
to
vote
for
me.
Thank
you
for
believing
in
a
25
year
old
young
man
whose
heart
was
in
the
right
place.
Next,
to
being
a
father
to
my
son
and
a
good
husband
to
my
wife,
this
has
been
the
honor
of
my
life
and
I'm
forever
grateful
it's
hard
for
me
to
believe
that
this
day
has
come.
I've
spent
many
nights
lying
awake
in
bed.
K
Thinking
of
this
moment,
thinking
about
my
proud
accomplishments,
I've
achieved
as
your
elected
official
and,
more
importantly,
how
lucky
I
am
to
have
served.
My
hometown,
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
I
would
not
be
sitting
here
tonight
without
the
strength
and
support
from
my
family.
I
recall
what
seems
like
forever
ago,
walking
through
my
soon-to-be
neighborhood
or
my
future
neighborhood
with
my
wife,
looking
at
my
fiance
at
the
time,
looking
at
a
old,
dilapidated
house
that
you
know
is
torn
apart
and
thinking
and
specifically
sayings
or
her
what?
If
what?
K
K
K
K
Y'all
have
heard
it
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child
and,
as
you
can
see,
I'm
a
product
of
that
village.
I
would
like
to
thank
all
of
my
parents
and
grandparents
for
the
sacrifices
you've
made
on
my
behalf
and,
ultimately,
the
well-rounded
life
you've
helped
me
live
and
create
I'd
like
to
thank
my
mother
for
nurturing
me
and
giving
me
strength
and
spirit.
You're.
My
calming
force
and
I
can
always
look
to
you
to
truly
hear
me.
K
You
first
taught
me
about
our
community
of
family
and
friends,
and
not
long
after
that
taught
me
about
the
community
of
Tarpon
Springs
growing
up
I,
attended
board
meetings
in
City
Hall,
where
my
father
was
chairman
of
the
Charter
Review
Committee.
He
chaired
the
health
facilities
board
that
ultimately
saved
our
community
hospital
and
kept
it
here
in
Tarpon,
Springs
I,
attended
library,
board
meetings
where
my
father
served
and
I
was
the
youngest
donor
to
the
library
on
lemon
Street
was
through
the
bat
boards
effort.
Our
new
community
library
was
constructed.
K
Was
there
I
spent
many
many
4
hour
shifts
working
at
the
tarpon
springs
hospital
and
I'm
grateful
for
every
minute
of
it.
It's
these
early
experiences
in
my
life
and
tarpon,
and
the
lessons
I
learned
that
gave
me
such
a
passion
for
home
throughout
my
life.
My
dad
has
been
such
a
knowledgeable
resource
to
me
and
especially
when
it
comes
to
tarpon
springs.
K
All
of
his
early
lessons,
and
even
the
lessons
learned
yesterday
have
undoubtedly
helped
me,
become
a
better
community
servant
community
leader
and
ultimately
gave
me
an
understanding
of
what
it
means
to
govern
this
to
govern
this
community.
At
the
will
of
its
people,
thank
you.
Dad
I
came
home
to
tarpon
springs
January
2009,
probably
the
smartest
I've
ever
been
in
busting
at
the
seams
with
school
theory
from
Auburn
University,
knowing
right
away
I
wanted
to
serve.
K
My
community
I
submitted
an
application
for
the
budget
advisory
committee
at
23
years
old
and
still
wet
behind
the
ears.
To
my
surprise,
the
Board
elected
me
as
chairman,
at
our
first
meeting
and
within
seconds
Michelle
and
Irene,
had
a
gavel
in
front
of
me
and
I
gave
my
first
roll
call.
One
of
my
proudest
achievements
on
that
board
was
identifying
the
city
sale
of
surplus
properties,
which
do
not
add
anything
to
our
ad
valorem
tax
base
in
the
form
of
revenue.
K
The
recommendation
was
made
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
at
the
time
and
they
carried
out
the
beginning,
big,
beginning
stages
of
those
sales.
One
year
later,
I
joined
the
Commission
and
the
surplus
property
sales
led
to
the
city's
first
downtown
craft
brewery.
In
a
long
time,
they
can
old
fire
station,
which
is
now
Silver
King
brewery
and
has
been
the
catalyst
for
many
redevelopment
projects
downtown
also
as
a
product
of
the
surplus
sale.
While
serving
on
the
board
of
commissioners,
we
made
a
request
for
a
proposal
on
the
old
nursing
home
property.
K
Dealing
with
city
staff,
I
recall
this
community
hemorrhaging
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
of
public
funds
and
out
on
out
of
town
consultants,
to
tell
us
where
and
when
and
how
the
plant
trees
add,
light
poles,
parking,
spaces
and
benches.
In
both
examples,
this
is
no
longer
the
case.
The
city
of
tarpon
springs
is
and
has
been
open
for
business,
with
a
smile
on
our
face
and
when
the
challenging
projects
present
themselves.
Our
new
attitude
is
this
is
how
we
can
do
it
versus.
K
This
is
why
we
can't,
for
the
most
part,
we
got
rid
of
the
out-of-town
consultants
and
the
result
this
community
has
seen
beautification
efforts
and
projects
completed
all
over
in
town,
all
over
town
and,
more
importantly,
in-house
by
our
qualified
men
and
women
in
public
works.
While
serving
on
this
board.
We
lit
spring
by
you
with
decorative
pedestrian
lights,
for
the
public
to
feel
safe
and
utilize,
one
of
our
most
cherished
parts.
We
have
utilized
our
tree
bank
money
for
in-house
landscape
projects.
All
over
town.
K
We
took
back
tarpon
avenue
from
florida
department
of
transportation,
which
enables
us
to
put
a
pedestrian
crosswalk
where
we
see
fit
and
host
as
many
street
festivals
as
our
residents
are
willing
to
support.
As
your
commissioner,
I
have
had
a
fur.
I
have
first-hand
sat
in
the
city
manager's
office
in
many
cases
brought
national
developers
of
new
projects
to
our
community
in
an
effort
to
convince
them
to
do
business
here
and
in
turn
we
have
new
development
all
over
town,
while
the
city's
economic
development
is
important
and
clearly
visible.
Not
my
only
concern
or
effort.
K
In
fact,
most
important
to
me
is
making
sure
the
people
of
this
community
are
well
taken
care
of
whether
a
citizen
has
hit
a
roadblock
with
staff
concern
in
code
enforcement
or
a
citizen
needs
help,
navigating
City
Hall
for
a
building
permit
or
the
city
created
an
or
the
city's
creation
of
an
utter
of
a
summer
jobs
program
for
our
youth,
which
is
really
more
of
an
internship
and
valuable
on
so
many
levels.
I've
only
wanted
the
best
for
our
community
as
it
relates
to
city
management.
K
The
first
lesson
I
learned
on
the
budget
Advisory
Committee,
was
the
city's
organizational
chart
where
the
the
citizens
are
at
the
top.
The
Board
of
Commissioners
works
for
the
citizens
and
the
city
manager
and
City
Clerk
worked
for
the
Board
of
Commissioners
and
staff,
and
the
staff
works
for
them.
As
your
elected
official
I
feel,
I've
played
a
strong
role
in
helping
the
city
manager
with
the
management
of
this
community
working
in
Tallinn
almost
every
day,
and
usually
only
being
ten
minutes
from
from
City
Hall
has
been
a
huge
advantage
to
me
in
my
term.
K
As
your
elected
official,
we
have
retooled
and
rehired
major
departments
such
as
the
building
development
services
planning
and
zoning
office,
and
all
of
which
were
necessary
for
the
betterment
of
this
community.
We
saw
need
for
an
economic
development
manager
to
run
with
desired,
grant
programs
and
other
community
initiatives
that
the
Commission
wanted
to
offer
and
the
need
for
the
position
was
identified
and
created.
K
Mark
knows
if
he
tells
me
notice
something.
The
next
question
out
of
my
mouth
is
why
what
for
how
come?
And
what's
your
a
better
idea,
so
I've
truly
enjoyed
building
relationships
with
our
city
staff
and
working
with
them
on
many
community
projects,
our
department,
heads
or
of
the
caliber
that
this
community
can
now
be
proud
of
to
the
board
of
commissioners
past
and
present,
first
and
foremost,
I
say
thank
you
for
your
service
to
this
community.
K
Thank
you
for
supporting
me
in
my
personal
initiatives
and
in
my
voting
positions
over
the
years,
I've
been
on
the
losing
side
of
many
41
votes,
but,
as
always,
I
voted
what
I
believe
best
for
this
community
Commissioner
bantha,
you,
sir,
have
made
me
a
better
Commissioner
getting
to
know
you,
as
we
worked
on
my
campaign
together
then
worked
on
yours
and
ultimately
serving
this
community
together.
For
the
past
four
years
has
been
an
experience.
K
I'll
tell
my
grandchildren
about
serving
with
you
as
a
like-minded
young
professional
with
the
passion
for
this
town
has
made
our
job
easy.
Looking
down
the
Dyess
and
knowing
that
you
get
that
you
have.
My
back
has
given
me
the
strength
I
needed
in
some
cases
to
make
tough
decisions
for
our
town.
We
have
no
doubt
grown
a
lasting
friendship
which
started
as
a
mutual
love
for
this
community
and
now
for
you
to
share
that
same
experience
with
Commissioner
Khare.
K
Couldn't
make
me
any
happier,
I
used
to
be
asked
a
lot
when
first
elected
what's
next,
what
are
your
plans
for
the
future
in
politics
and
I?
Don't
know
if
people
got
tired
of
hearing
the
same
response
again
and
again
or
if
I
just
got
older
and
more
boring,
but
for
me
then,
and
for
me
now,
my
interest
earned
tarpon
springs.
This
is
not
and
was
not
a
mere
stepping
stone.
For
me,
this
was
about
service
to
my
hometown,
just
like
my
father
and
his
father
and
his
father
before
me.
K
All
things
considered
and
having
had
time
to
reflect
I've,
always
loved
this
community
long
before
I,
even
knew
it
formally
as
tarpon
springs.
That
is
why
I
chose
to
move
home.
I
chose
to
get
involved
in
city
government
I
chose
to
start
my
family
here
and
make
long-term
investments
here,
just
as
my
family
did.
For
me.
That
said,
it's
crucial
that
this
positive
momentum
we've
seen
over
the
past
six
years
continue
in
the
right
direction
in
this
community
continue
to
regain
our
glory
as
venice
of
the
south.
K
Q
Think
I
know
this
was
more
of
a
time
for
commissioners,
so
I
got
to
have
my
say
at
the
last
Commission
mean
to
him.
I
just
want
to
remind
you
unit
started.
You
know,
Craig
park
before
you
came
in
the
office
when
we
chatted
that
led
to
six
years
of
us
working
together,
do
what's
best
for
tarpon
springs
was
a
great
and
we
will
be
partners
for
working
for
tarpon
springs
the
rest
of
our
lives
together,
so
they're
working
with
you
and
will
he
will
keep
working
towards
this
best
photography.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
A
F
E
R
R
But
I
picked
this
point
of
the
agenda
to
speak
about
something
else.
We
had
a
lovely
lady
sing,
our
National
Anthem,
and
what
is
it
really
tell
us?
Our
forefathers
fought
for
us
to
be
able
to
be
here
to
have
a
peaceful
progression
of
government
and
allow
our
citizens
to
have
a
voice.
That's
what
this
is
really
about.
But
what
troubles
me-
and
this
is
what
I'm
going
to
point
out
to
you-
this
is
from
I
ring.
You
can
get
a
copy
of
it.
R
Seventeen
thousand
597
voters
a
turnout
of
3220,
so
only
eighteen
percent
of
the
people
in
Tarpon
participated
now
not
to
disparage
anything
the
papers
and
when
they
put
out
the
stuff
they
say,
Mr
Carr
got
forty
six
percent
Frank
got
thirty-two
percent
and
got
twenty-two
percent.
But
when
you
really
look
at
the
numbers
and
again
it's
not
disparage
mr.
karkas,
he
honestly
won
the
election,
but
he
won
the
election
with
8.4
percent
of
the
registered
voters
in
tarpon.
R
Now,
what
even
bothered
me
more
so
is
we've
made
efforts
to
expand
people
to
have
access
to
voting
rights,
I
mean
that's
being
fought
in
many
states,
approximately
7,000
mail
ballots
were
sent
out.
We
received
approximately
twenty-seven
hundred
at
a
38-point
four
percent
rate.
Sad,
all
it
needs
is
fifty
cents
for
a
stamp.
O
R
G
F
L
F
R
At
this
point
I
want
to
thank
kathryn
williams
and
think
that
there
is
still
some
press
that
covers
us
for
bringing
out
the
fact
about
water,
and
I've
brought
this
before
now
that
there
is
no
bill
before
the
house
or
the
Senate
doing
anything
about
fracking,
and
there
is
no
restriction
yet
about
you
making
your
own
rules.
We
need
to
start
looking
at
setting
a
geographic
zone
that
you
have
a
fracking
free
zone
and
I
mean
I've
said
this
before
we've
invested
40-plus
million
dollars
into
a
reverse
osmosis
water
plant
to
keep
our
water
safe.
R
Now,
if
they
put
fracking
places
in
hernando
or
upriver
in
Pasco,
that's
not
going
to
affect
us
if
we
do
it
locally,
but
the
more
important
thing
is
to
get
our
legislators
back
on
track
about
this
and
in
the
meantime,
if
we
need
to
you
need
to
take
your
own
action.
While
you
still
have
Home
Rule,
because,
as
we've
said
before,
you
can
live
with
water
and
air
food,
you
can
go
a
little
longer
without,
but
those
things
essential.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
E
L
You
vice
mayor,
chair,
panty
I,
also
can't
believe
that
it's
been
six
years.
It
seems
like
yesterday
that
I
swore
you
in
your
passion
and
love
for
the
city
proves
because
you
served
the
city
well
just
for
some
election
history
that
vice
mayor
preemie
forgot
to
mention
he's
actually
our
second
youngest
seeded,
commissioner,
at
the
time
of
office,
and
when
we,
the
clerk's
office,
did
research.
We
found
that
his
dad
was
actually
the
youngest
Commissioner
observed
by.

Just
have
a
few
comments,
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
all
for
being
here
tonight,
and
it's
important.
This
is
a
great
town
we
live
in.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
Lord
for
the
ability
and
opportunity
to
serve
this
great
town.
Tarpon
springs
before
the
election
started.
I
need
to
get
I
needed
to
obtain
one
vote,
and
it
was
very
important
to
me-
and
that
was
my
wife,
which
I
received.
Thank
you
so
much
carry
for
your
support
and
encouragement
during
this
election.
I
couldn't
have
done
it
without
you.
J
I
would
also
like
to
thank
all
my
family
and
friends
for
your
support
where
I
couldn't
have
been
elected
without
you
all.
Thank
you
to
the
residence
of
Tarpon
Springs
for
believing
in
me
and
trusting
that
I
was
the
right
choice
for
the
future
of
Tarpon

great

to
improve.
Thank
you
all.
Thank.
H
A
Thank
You
Jacob:
this
is
in
a
long
time
coming
for
you.
I
think
I
remember
getting
to
serve
with
you
on
the
heritage
on
a
preservation
board
about
six
years
ago
and
I
and
I
knew
that
a
city
commission
was
definitely
in
your
future
at
that
time
and
IIIi.
Think
you
bring
a
very
unique
set
of
skill.
Sets
to
to
the
table.
Only
did
this
that
this
being
your
hometown
and
having
that
base
of
knowledge
helps
out
a
lot,
but
also
your
knowledge
of
business
of
the
environment
and
your
volunteer
list
of
youth
activities.
A
H
G
Happy
for
you
very
excited,
you
had
a
plan
and
you
stuck
to
it,
and
this
is
why
he's
sitting
up
here
today,
jacek
jacob
one
ran
a
very
good
campaign,
and
I
feel
that
you
bring
a
lot
to
this
board
and
a
lot
to
our
community
and
just
remember
only
one
thing.
One
word
of
advice
is
when
you're
sitting
up
here-
and
you
know
we
make
some
tough
decisions,
do
what
you
think
is
right
for
your
community
and
stay
true
to
your
word
and
I.
Think
you'll
do
a
great
job
up
here.
G
F
You
it
is
a
privilege
for
me
to
be
here
tonight
to
welcome
the
newly
elected
commissioners,
but
first
let
me
congratulate
the
candidates.
Will
rain
for
office
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
desire
and
the
dedication
for
the
public
service
commission
a
car?
It's
a
pleasure
to
welcome
you
to
the
board
of
commissioners
and
I
like
to
congratulate
you
and
looking
forward
to
work
with
you
to
serve
you
with
you.
The
people
of
purple
Springs,
also
like
you
will
recognize
that
congratulation
permission
Seaver
for
four
second
term:
congratulations
and
I'm.
F
G
G
You
I
just
want
to
congratulate
you,
raya
on
your
win.
Raya
one
ran
unopposed,
so
she
had
the
easiest
job
of
anybody
and,
but
I
believe
you
were
able
to
do.
That
is
because
the
the
citizens
in
this
community
had
the
trust
and
the
faith
in
you
to
lead
our
city
again
and
so
I
think
that
I
believe.
That
is
why
you
did
run
out
of
post
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Maybe.
H
J
O
H
K
Figured
I
might
as
well
I.
Don't
want
you
all
to
think
that
I'm
gonna
be
racing
Peter
to
like
us
down
here
every
night
or
anything,
but
no
I
wanted
to
congratulate
you,
Commissioner
seaburn.
Thank
you
for
your
kind
words
to
me.
It
has
been
a
pleasure
to
serve
to
you
you're,
absolutely
right.
We
have
grown
our
friendship
and
we've
done
through.
We've
grown
our
friendship
through
the
service
to
this
community,
which
is
always
something
that
I
feel
like
creates
a
strong
bond
between
people,
Commissioner
Khare.
K
It
feels
good
to
say
that
it's
definitely
been
a
long
time
coming
for
you.
You
were
instrumental
in
my
campaign
when
I
first
got
elected
and
that's
something
that
I'll
never
forget.
I
also
never
forget.
Growing
up
together
down
the
street
lived
on
banana
I
lived
on
south
spring.
We
played
together
for
years,
I
played
with
you
sisters.
You
know,
watch
plenty
of
movies
on
your
on
your
living
room.
So
thank
you
to
your
parents
as
well
for
always
hosting
me
and
letting
me
snack
on
y'all's
food.
K
But
more
importantly,
you
know
we
share
the
same
passion
for
this
town,
so
I'm
happy
to
see
you
up
there,
I'm
honored,
that
you
have
essentially
taken
my
spot
on
the
board.
I
know
you'll,
do
good
things
for
this
town.
You're,
certainly
qualified
you've
served
on
on
plenty
of
boards
and
you
have
the
passion
for
the
town.
So
congratulations
to
you.
You
ran
a
fantastic
campaign.
You
stuck
to
the
game
plan.
You
ran
like
you
or
lose
them,
even
though
you
weren't
and
you
know,
you're
a
better
man
for
it.
P

other
comments

None.
We
are
now
going
to

number
two,
which
is
a
resolution
2017,
there's
15
election
for
the
vice
mayor,
my
fellow
commissioners.
Normally
this
position
is
still
with
the
most
senior
member
and
I
would
like
to
recommend
Commissioner
Panther
to
be
the
next
vice
mayor.

Congratulations

E
Q
Wanna
congratulate
mr.
Carr,
who
is
receiver
also
and
warn
them
that
we've
been
a
month
without
a
meeting
and
I
know.
I
have
the
vice
mayor,
not
next
to
me
who
keeps
me
time
with
meetings,
but
we've
got
a
lot
of
items
to
go
over
the
next
two
meetings,
so
the
next
meetings
gonna
be
a
little
heavier.
So
we
have
a
couple
heavy
meetings
because
obviously
we
missed
the
meeting
so
we'll
get.
You
started
right
away
because
we've
got
a
pretty
full
agenda.
Come

of
next

I
just
want
to
warn
you
in
advance.

He
wrote
an
amazing
book,
the
2020
thousand
divers
under
the
sea,
which
promotes
a
sponge
industry.
May
his
memory
be
eternal,
and
we
just
learned
that
butter
artists,
who
was
our
priest
here
in
tarpon,
springs
for
many
years.
It
passed
away
our
condolences
to
his
families
and,
if
I'm,
correct,
I,
think
we're
gonna
have
the
memorial
service
next
monday.
I
believe.
