Conference

items
that

If

please

K
Good
evening,
mayor
and
commissioners,
my
name
is
Wanda
Kinsey
I
live
at
894,
Royal
Birkdale,
Drive
and
tarpon
springs,
I'm,
a
student
in
the
public
policy
and
administration
program
at
st.
Petersburg
College.
The
reason
I'm
here
tonight
is
my
capstone
project
that
I'm
currently
working
on
relates
to
the
city
of
carbon
Springs.
Emergency
management
plan.
K
Governmental
agencies
have
employees
working
in
certain
positions
where
it
is
mandatory
for
employees
to
report
to
work
during
a
sales,
emergency
or
disaster
situation.
My
mission
statement
is
to
promote
the
city
of
Carbon
Springs
emergency
management
plan
as
a
model
that
promotes
seizing
that
provides
a
designated
shelter
space
solely
for
the
families
and
pets
of
city
government
employees
who
are
required
to
work
during
emergency
and
disaster
events.
The
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
is
one
of
the
unique
governmental
agencies
who
has
incorporated
this
policy
into
the
personnel
manual.
It's
part
of
my
public
relations
plan.
K
I
will
be
submitting
an
article
to
the
Florida
City
and
County
Management
Association.
Promoting
the
city
of
tarpon
springs
emergency
plan.
As
a
model,
the
article
will
be
published
in
the
July
31st
2017
news,
her
city
and
county
managers
newsletter.
Additionally,
my
capstone
project
will
be
listed
on
the
Florida
City
and
County
Management
Association
website,
in
your
research
paper
section
for
other
cities
and
counties
to
review.
I
would
like
to
thank
mr.
Lucas,
who
has
been
extremely
supportive
in
my
quest
for
information
regarding
my
capstone
project.
K
I
also
would
like
to
thank,
if
you
can
cheap
young
deputy,
Smith
and
machine
it
them
for
their
assistance,
I'd
like
to
say
kudos
to
the
city
for
having
the
foresight
to
implement
these
policies.
My
capstone
presentation
before
the
panel
or
judges
is
on
July
10.
Once
everything
has
been
Purvi
provide,
even
approved.
I
will
provide
a
copy
of
my
capstone
to
mr.
Lycoris.
Again,
thank
you
for
your
dedication
and
your
commitment
to
providing
excellent
services
to
the
city
and
our
community.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
All
right,
Peter
tool,
x51
for
Ashland
Avenue
first
off
I,
would
like
to
greatly
thank
mr.
Paul
Smith
mayor
ala,
whose's
and
for
attending
the
climate
change
weather
changed
seminar
that
mr.
Gowen
put
together
with
the
church
on
the
Bayou
last
Saturday.
So
thank
you
for
your
attendance
and
hopefully
when
we
have
these,
we
can
get
more
information
out
as
to
getting
people
involved
in
as
the
mayor
and
as
Paul,
and
maybe
some
of
you
are
quite
aware
of
Tarpon
Springs
is
on
the
front
line
of
rising
seas.
L
Secondly,
I
want
to
talk
about.
I,
know
we'll
talk
about
the
penny
distribution
later,
but
the
Friends
of
the
ant
Code
forwarded
to
the
board
last
Friday,
a
listing
of
all
the
approved
projects
that
the
Florida
community's
trust
approved
for
funding
for
2017
and
guess
what
again
tarpon
springs
isn't
on
that
list?
Why
not?
Because
this
board
has
not
been
previous
boards,
have
not
taken
the
action
to
apply
for
this.
Just
for
those
who
aren't
aware
of
it.
L
The
Florida
communities
Trust
is
a
grant
program
through
the
state
where
we
only
have
to
pay
25%
of
the
funding
to
purchase
property
and
they
provide
75%
now
just
a
little
overview.
A
person
if
a
river
corridor
or
lateral
Conservation
Trust
got
a
million
dollars.
Cypress
Creek
Preserve
out
of
st.
Lucie
County
got
1.6
ocean
hammock
park
phase
two
out
of
st.
Augustine
beached
at
1.5,
even
a
little
village
of
Key
Biscayne
for
their
Hampton
lane
project
at
over
800,000
dollars.
L
L
We
would
like
our
share
of
this
money.
It's
available.
We
just
need
to
start
the
process
and
even
if
we
don't
get
it
like
ineligible
city
of
New,
Port
Richey
asked
for
one
point:
six
at
least
we'll
get
if
you're
familiar
with
it,
we'll
be
able
to
get
our
projects
ranked.
So
we
get
our
points
and
then
we
know
where
we're
deficient
in
and
where
we
need
to
get
more
points
to
get
eligibility.
L
And
some
of
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about
and
what
I'm
really
talking
about
is
the
Walmart
property,
because
right
now,
I
believe
we
could
get
that
for
six
million
dollars.
One
point
five
would
be
ours,
we'd
get
four
and
a
half
million.
There's
plenty
of
people
here
that
got
one
point:
five
million
or
more.
L
G
G
Well,
my
fellow
commissioners
I
want
to
update
you
in
the
public
on
the
latest
information
regarding
the
ankle
River
dredging
project,
as
we
all
know
for
June.
Second,
it
was
Friday
we'll
learn
that
the
governor
Scott
veto,
the
veto,
the
funding
for
our
project
from
the
state
2018
budget,
Monday
June
5th.
We
sent
a
letter
to
Governor
Scott,
asking
him
for
his
consideration
to
restore
funding.
G
We
also
include
a
resolution
which
was
scheduled
to
be
approved
on
June
6
boc
meter,
which
was
the
next
day
commissioned
receiver,
requested
that
this
item
to
be
placed
on
the
agenda
to
be
discussed,
and
we
had
a
very,
very
healthy
discussion,
also
on
June
5th
I
called
governor
Scott
and
I
spoke
with
him.
I
spoke
with
his
personal
assistants.
Her
name
is
mrs.
G
saime
well
and
express
my
disappointment
in
the
project
veto
and
explained
to
her
the
importance
of
the
ankylo
River
that
our
local
economy
is
dependent
on
and
the
channel
is
very
unsafe
for
the
large
vessels
to
navigate
stated
to
me
that
the
governor
has
no
mechanism
to
override
his
veto.
So
we
had
to
look
for
another.
We
had
to
look
for
another
avenue
to
get
the
revenue
to
say
that
funding
might
be
available
through
the
economic
development
program
which
will
be
established
based
on
that
information.
I
discuss
our
options
with
mr.
liquors
mr.
G
recorders
work
with
MS,
lemons
and
mr.
Robinson.
They
prepare
a
package
which
was
sent
to
mr.
to
a
governor
Scott.
The
Central
Valley
representative
Chris
bras
asked
to
the
BOC
into
the
marine
Commerce
Committee
On
June
16
mr.
Lee
Curtis
and
I
contacted
the
governor's
office
and
we
spoke
to
miss
Cece
Proctor
she's,
the
service
executive
director
of
the
economic
opportunities
to
ensure
that
they
receive
the
package
for
the
governor's
review,
and
also
we
wanted
to
know
who
is
the
contact
person.
Who
is
the
person
that
we're
going
to
be
dealing
with?
G
G
She
is
here
reports
mr.
Proctor.
Also
the
acting
manager
of
Cochin
was
there
as
well,
and
he
wanted
to.
Let
us
know
that
no
one
has
been
assigned
yet
to
the
economic
development
program
and
he's
going
to
let
us
know
when
that
happens.
So
after
this
point,
we
know
that
it's
going
to
be
an
economic
development
program
and
funding,
it
will
be
available
and
no
one
is
in
charge
of
the
program
yet
also
mr.
G
liquors,
with
Carol,
lemons
and
Bob
Robinson
are
preparing
additional
packages
to
be
hand-delivered
to
the
elected
officials
of
the
federal
level
will
include
the
United
States
senators
bill,
Nelson
and
Marco
Rubio.
Also
the
United
States
representatives
of
the
area,
including
Gus
Bilirakis,
Daniel,
Webster,
charlie
Crist,
Cathy,
texter,
tester
and
Dennis
Ross
and
I
will
be
hand-deliver
those
packages
to
them
and
explain
to
them.
G
G
I
Es
thank
you
and
I
was
absent.
Obviously,
from
from
the
last
meeting,
I
appreciate
the
extra
time
that
staff
has
put
in
over
the
last
few
weeks
of
your
I
spent
several
hours
on
the
on
the
phone
with
sprawls
and
Martin
icarus
and
Karen
lemons
and
I
appreciate
commissioners
here
putting
this
on
the
agenda
tooling
stuff
for
forages
for.
I
This
this
this
discussion
and
then
I
appreciate
the
mayor.
All
that
you've
done
in
talking
with
the
wit
would
be
it
would
be
with
the
would-be
governor's
office
and
following
up
with
him,
I
think
as
I
said
in
my
memo
that
we
learned
a
valuable
lesson
in
that
you
know
we
can't
distrust
that
are
all
right.
Our
representatives,
no
matter
who
they
are.
I
You
know
up
learning
how
we
can
do
that
appropriately,
obviously,
but
I
think
staying
in
front
of
them,
because
there's
so
many
projects
we
can
mail
them
all
the
resolutions
that
we
want
in
the
studies
and
that's
good,
but
there's
you
know,
but
it's
probably
thousands
of
people
right
behind
us
doing
that
those
those
those
those
those
same
things
so
I
think
the
most
that
we
keep
in
front
of
them.
Physically,
you
know,
and
also
verbally
on
the
phone,
helps
them
as
well.
I
I
still
encourage
the
public
to
keep
contacting
Chris,
Chris,
Chris,
sprawls
office,
Anna
and
Jack's
office
as
well
to
encourage
them
to
fight
for
I.
I.
Do
have
kind
of
dumb
lesson
hopes
that
that
will
get
funding
from
from
the
state
for
this
project,
but
I
appreciate
you
know
any
efforts
that
that
are
made
to
get
as
funding.
Perhaps
this
new
opportunity
could
provide
us
that
that
funding
I
think
the
only
way
that's
going
to
happen
is
if
we
physically
sit
just-just
Stan's
Stan's
stay
in
front
of
them
constantly.
I
We
can't
rest
that
you
know
our
representatives
or
whatever
are
working
for
us
100%,
because,
as
we
saw
and
correct
me,
if
I'm,
if
I'm,
if
I'm,
if
I'm
wrong
there,
but
the
governor's
office
said
originally
that
they
never
even
seen
our
impact
study,
correct,
yeah,
the
beginning
yeah
and
we
I
mean
how
many,
how
many
times
did
we
send
that
the
Tallahassee
or
give
it
to
our
representatives
so
I
think
that
shows
that
we
have
to.
Obviously
we
have
we
have.
I
We
have
to
send
things,
but
just
to
stay
on
top
of
it,
and
this
end,
just
just
just
just
just
stay
in
front
of
it,
I'm
glad
that
the
project
still
can
continue
to
carry
on.
But
you
know
I
would
just
you
know.
Next
year
is
an
election
year.
Obviously-
and
maybe
we'll
get
some
more
attention
then,
but
I
think
it
just
needs
to
be
well
known
that
people
that
represent
us
in
Tallahassee
need
to
perform
and
need
to
be
able
to
assist
us
with
this
dredging
on
all
levels.
I
I
have
reached
out
to
Nelson's
office
because
I've
just
been
in
touch
with
them
since
the
beginning
on
this
through
I.
Think
of
Shara
Anderson
is
our:
is
our
rep
with
them
and
I'm
going
to
be
having
a
call
with
one
of
their
staffers
in
DC?
That's
I,
guess
the
the
the
the
the
senator
most
with
these
with
with
these
projects.
So
when
I
have
an
update
for
that,
I'll
do
memo.
Obviously,
but
I
appreciate
y'all's
efforts.
I
I
really
do
appreciate
you
mayor
the
way
you're
continuing
to
see
on
top
of
the
governor
and
be
proactive
about
it
and
the
rest
of
this
board
as
well.
I
know
everyone's
made
their
own
individual
efforts
in
contacting
people,
but
I
would
just
urge
the
public
that
we
have
to
stay
on
top
of
this,
that
your
role
is
just
as
important
as
ours
in
this,
and
you
have
to
keep
in
contact
with
all
the
representatives,
because
if
we
don't
put
the
pressure
on
them,
it's
just
not
going
to
happen.
I
G
Mayor
Penta,
just
to
let
you
know
that
them
after
that
I
talked
to
the
o2
that
director
up
there,
Nia
I
asked
her
that
if
I
can
I
could
get
an
appointment.
This
is
a
year
the
governor
and
she
was
saying
that
there
would
be
more
wise
to
wait,
see
who
is
actually
going
to
be
the
manager
of
the
Economic
Development
Program,
and
then
that's
what
I'm
going
to
do.
Well.
I
C
I,
just
just
think
Oh
what
vice
mayor
said
here.
We
need
to
be
persistent
and
just
keep
on
doing
what
we're
doing
and
fight
the
fight.
This
is
a
very
important
project
to
our
community
and
again
it's
sometimes
it's
out
of
sight
out
of
mind.
So
maybe
if
we
can
send
your
the
mayor
up
there
or
our
city
manager
can
lemons
rotate,
send
us
different
people
in
there,
but
be
persistent
go
up
once
a
month.
E
G
E
G
M
To
the
core
I'll,
just
echo,
some
of
those
same
comments
at
the
other
commissioners
have
made.
It
means
mind-boggling
that
we've
got
a
town
that
has
affected
so
much
an
economy,
that's
affected
so
much
by
the
river
and
the
importance
of
the
river.
So
I
would
also
encourage
the
residents
and
citizens
of
Tarpon
Springs
to
reach
out
to
these
elected
officials.
I
also
reached
out
to
the
county
commissioners
and
the
administrator
and
they're
sending
some
notes
also
up
to
the
governor's
office,
based
on
what
I
said
it
just
shows
the
importance
of.
M
Although
we
are
a
city
within
the
state,
we
still
have
to
lobby
for
money
for
the
state
to
spend
the
money
here
when
I
looked
at
the
budget-
and
you
see
the
amount
of
money
that's
spent
and
projects
throughout
the
state,
it's
it's
kind
of
a
head
scratcher
to
ask.
Why
are
we
paying
for
some
of
the
projects
that
we're
paying
for
out
of
our
budget
when
you
see
the
state
paying
for
a
lot
of
these
things?
G
Just
to
let
you
know
that
the
Pinellas
calculation,
the
right
behind
us,
Commission
low
versus
the
care
persons
for
sending
a
letter
through
up
to
the
governor
as
well
so
yeah,
we
have
their
supporters
flow
and
thank
you
we're
now
going
to
the
public
comment.
Yes,
please
come
to
the
podium.
If
you
state
your
name
and
your
address
for
the
record,
please.
N
Elizabeth
Posner,
12:59,
Wendy
bass,
show
and
tarpon
springs,
and
I
would
like
to
say
that
this
more
this
morning,
I
was
at
a
meeting
with
a
staffer
from
Gus
Bilirakis
office,
we're
working
on
getting
him
on
the
on
the
list
to
become
a
congressman
again
2018,
and
she
mentioned
we
mentioned
the
anklet
River
project
and
had
been
turned
down,
and
he
told
me
that
Gus
is
going
to
be
looking
at
federal
funding
for
us
he's
going
to
be
doing
some
exploring
federally
for
so
this.
That
was
kind
of
coming
to
me.
N
G
I
Event
they
care
for
me,
of
course,
go
ahead.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
that.
By
the
way,
the
big
congressman's
efforts
are
going
to
be
crucial.
It's
kind
of
in
a
tiered
system
right,
so
the
city
put
tore.
We've
achieved
30
to
40
thousand
for
the
impact
study
and
staff
time
to
get
our
our
ducks
in
a
row
for
that
the
county
provided
us
about
$300,000
for
our
permits.
So
the
state
was
supposedly
going
to
give
us
about
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
spoil
site.
I
Then
that
would
set
us
up
to
get
in
the
Army
Corps
budget,
which
is
what
the
congressman
needs
to
do,
or
the
actual
dredge
itself.
That,
and
that
really
is
the
big
deal
right.
Yeah,
that's
going
to
be
the
big
big
foot,
so
we
all
need
to
be.
As
I
mentioned,
we
wanted
to
keep
reaching
out
to
sprawls
office
and
Jack's
office
for
the
money
from
the
state
with
a
spoil
site,
but
the
big
picture
I
think
I
mentioned
this
in
my
memo
that
we
can't
lose
sight
of
is
exactly
what
you
set
up.
I
There
is
continue
to
encourage
and
help
to
lobby
the
army,
for
that
were
in
their
budget
for
dredging
this
we
could
have
our
permits
ready
our
spoil
site
ready,
but
if
we
don't
get
in
the
army
course
budget,
the
dredge
doesn't
happen.
So
that's
where
it
is
on
the
federal
level
and
we're
absolutely
the
healthy,
the
congressman,
but
petitions
and
so
forth.
I
mean
anything's
better
than
nothing
but
I.
Just
think
persistent,
respectful
and
I
can't
emphasize
respectful
enough.
Respectful
contact
with
all
of
our
representatives
is
the
best
thing
you
can
do.
G
D
Good
evening
mayor
commissioners,
Ron
herring
finance
director
tonight
we
have
the
general
fund
update
as
of
through
April
30th
2017
and
the
budget
fiscal
year
2018
a
brief
overview
and
as
of
April
30
of
2017
were
58
percent
through
the
year.
The
total
budget
of
for
the
general
fund,
which
is
the
largest
fund
of
the
city,
is
twenty
three
point.
D
Three
million
revenues
at
the
end
of
April
are
15
point
1
million
at
65
percent
we've
received
and,
as
mentioned
below,
most
that
why
we're
over
58
percent
is
because
property
taxes
we
receive
like
at
the
end
of
April,
we've
received
94%
of
the
property
tax
revenues.
As
of
the
end
of
April
expenditures.
Thirteen
point:
seven
million
of
about
59
percent-
were
one
percent
over
the
58%
through
the
end
of
April.
D
But
most
that
has
mentioned
down
below
as
a
we've
got
some
expenditures:
a
cemetery
land
purchase
and
within
some
departments
we've
had
some
vacations
sale
that,
especially
during
December,
we
offer
the
vacation
sell.
Back
so
like
say,
we
have
the
15
point:
1
million
of
revenues,
13
points
million
of
expenditures
for
difference
of
1.4
million.
That's
that's
a
nice
number
at
the
end
of
April,
but
by
the
end
of
the
year
those
expenditures
are
going
to
creep
up
and
be
pretty
close
to
the
revenues
and
pretty
pretty
even
with
them.
D
D
One
of
the
big
ones
has
been
giving
me
little
heart
during
the
last
year,
so
I
called
some
other
cities
as
the
electric
franchise
fee
and
and
talks
with
other
cities
and
and
with
Duke
Energy.
They
had
to
rate
decreases
during
the
last
year,
which
is
contributed
a
lot
to
that.
One
hundred
eighty-five
thousand,
which
is
in
yellow
there
of
decreases
in
a
electric
franchise
fee,
but
and
maybe
they've
already
increased
the
rates
but
I
know
I.
D
Just
looked
at
today's
receipt
and
one
from
last
month
for
the
first
time
in
a
year,
our
revenues
for
the
electric
van
franchise
fee
increase,
so
I
might
get
a
hold
of
our
rep
and
see
if
maybe
they've,
already
increased
the
weights
veridia
on
the
Duke
Energy
franchise
fees,
half
cent
sales
tax
going
down
about
21,000.
You
know
that's
our
estimate
but
I
like
to
say
I.
Just
looked
at
this
month's
receipt,
we
got
this
month
and
it's
it's
over
what
we
got
last
year,
so
that
I
might
be
a
little
bit
too
conservative
there.
D
Ems
fees
are
per
the
contract
at
the
1.41
million
four
hundred
twenty
eight
thousand
interfund
transfers
or
what
are
budgeted
Communication
Service
tax.
This
is
one
has
been
gradually
decreasing,
as
mentioned
down
on
the
bottom
there.
Since
2005,
when
the
peak
year
was
1
million
two
hundred
forty
nine
thousand
five
twenty
two:
it's
gradually
decreased
every
year,
so
we're
seeing
another
decrease
this
year
that
thirty
seven
thousand
it's
in
yellow
there.
A
lot
of
the
explanation
is:
a
lot
of
people
are
just
getting
rid
of
landlines
and
it's
causing
that
decrease
revenue.
D
Sarah
sharing
state
sales
tax
going
down
thirteen
thousand,
but
I'm
hoping
it
won't
go
down.
Thirteen.
We
usually
the
fiscal
year
for
the
state
ends
june,
clear
it
is,
and
then
they
come
back
and
do
an
audit.
We
get
it
like
an
extra
payment
naga.
So
I'm
hoping
that
you
know
we
might
not
have
a
decrease
there,
but
so
far
conservatively
I
put
in
a
negative
thirteen
thousand
there
and
then
water
utility
tax
with
the
water
sales
have
increased.
D
We've
got
about
fifty
thousand
plus
there
and
fire
fees
are
per
the
contract
at
the
four
hundred
two
thousand,
and
if
the
top
ten
revenues
weren't
enough
I
thought
I'd
throw
in
the
next
ten
revenues.
Now
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
150
but
hospital.
The
hospital
lease
it's
in
the
same
thing
with
the
budget,
the
actual
C
of
the
year,
the
projection
and
over
under
hospital,
as
per
the
lease
building
permits,
have
been
coming
in
nicely
with.
D
Although
I
know
the
work
into
the
building
department
dealing
with
all
the
new
construction
so
might
be
go
over
by
39,000
interest.
Earnings
aren't,
don't
think,
are
going
to
come
up
the
projection.
A
library
co-op,
that's
money
from
the
county,
we
budget
195.
It
looks
like
we're
only
going
to
get
one
hundred.
Seventy
eight
thousand
this
year,
local
business
taxes,
possibly
will
decrease
school
resource
officers
per
the
contract
code
enforcement.
This
is
another
one
sort
of
drives
me
nuts,
sometimes,
but
it's
always
so
erratic.
Like
last
year,
like
I,
see,
we've
only
received
11,000.
D
So
far
this
year
last
year
we
got
one
hundred
seventy
nine
thousand,
but
it
was.
We
had
two
or
three
claims
that
were
thirty
forty
thousand
dollars,
each
that
put
us
over
budget
and
then
utility
tax
and
franchise
fees
on
that
on
natural
gas,
hopefully
will
come
in
about
seven
thousand
over
budget
each
and
then
court
finds
another
erratic
one.
We've
only
gotten
about
25,000
so
far
this
year
and
just
to
point
out,
but
like
I'm,
no
young.
D
The
blue
bar
is
showing
personnel
expenses
as
if
the
increase
in
gradually
over
the
five
year,
mostly
salary
increases
orange
bars,
are
the
operating
expenses
going
from
2.7
million
to
3
million
in
2017
capital
expenses.
The
gray
bars
sort
of
you
know,
depending
on
what
capital
expenditures
are
budgeted
in
2015
873,000.
That
was
mostly
we
use.
D
Personnel
was
just
an
increase
of
forty
five
thousand,
but
there
was
a
mix
of
salaries
being
up
two
hundred
three
thousand
retirement
down
two
hundred
forty
six
thousand,
because
we
had
some
decreases
on
that
and
health.
The
dental
insurance
and
workers
comp
down
23
that
I'm
sorry
up
twenty
three
thousand
and
thirty
five
thousand
operating
expenses
about
plus
one
hundred
sixty
four
thousand.
There
wasn't
nothing
really.
In
particular,
it
was
like
those
across-the-board
increases
all
across
the
board
between
ten
twenty
thousand,
but
the
big
increase.
D
D
This
is
a
slide
I,
always
love
to
try
to
project
the
general
fund,
unassigned
fund
balance
and
between
you
know.
You
have
150
lines
of
revenues
and
about
a
thousand
lines
of
expenditure
items
or
the
unassigned
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
last
year
was
eight
million
eight
hundred
twenty
thousand
four
forty
three.
Looking
at
the
revenues
a
slide
before,
where
the
top
ten
revenues
we
had
to
decrease,
you
know
projected
of
one
hundred
eighty
nine
thousand
decrease.
D
Hopefully
it's
not
that
much,
then
those
next
ten
revenues
a
decrease
in
eighty
to
close
to
eighty
three
thousand
interfund
transfer
adjustment
for
Ministry
of
fees,
the
enterprise
funds
transfer
money
to
the
general
one
for
the
cover
administrative
fee
cost
is
the
allocation
had
not
been
looked
at
since
2009,
so
I
went
back
a
last
month
and
try
to
figure
out
using
the
same
methodology
and
formulated
and
came
up
that
really.
The
enterprise
funds
need
to
contribute
about
another
177
thousand
to
the
general
fund,
and
this
is
probably
an
allocation.
D
They
monitoring
pretty
good
and
roughly
I'm
saying
I'm
looking
at
the
projected
unassigned
fund
balance
they're
keeping
about
the
same
at
the
eight
million
eight
hundred
twenty
thousand
at
the
end
of
this
year,
and
the
slide
we
always
look
at
here
is
a
history
of
the
unassigned
fund
balance
for
the
last
ten
years.
As
you
can
see
at
2008
weird
eight
point:
seven
million
it
started
going
up
a
little
bit
and
then
going
down,
but
for
the
last
four
years
for
2014
through
2017
we're
hanging
right
in
there.
At
eight
point,
eight
million.
D
This
slide
is
also
deal
with
the
unassigned
fund
down.
So
what
it's
showing
in
the
blue
bars
is
the
unassigned
fund
balance
for
the
last
four
years,
plus
the
projection
of
the
8.2
million
for
I'm.
Sorry,
eight
point:
eight
million
for
2017,
but
the
orange
bars
are
the
twenty
percent
minimum
fund
balance
requirement
per
our
fund
balance
policy.
So
you
can
see
each
year
we've
got.
You
know
a
little
over
between
four
point
to
four
point:
six
million
each
year
a
cushion
between
what
we're
required
to
have
and
what
we
do
have.
D
D
E
D
Also
have
electronic
copies
I'm
ready
to
send
you
and
stuff
if
you'd
like
those
and
I
can
take
those
back.
If
you
really
don't
want
those
books
there,
but
and
in
there
is
also
an
executive
summer,
we
started
last
year
what
tries
to
go
through
and
them
well
I.
Think
I've
got
a
slide
on
that,
but
tries
to
summarize
all
the
information
in
here
by
summary
for
revenues,
expenditures
by
type
by
function
and
some
other
highlights
and
like
I,
say
the
budget
document.
D
The
three
ring
binder
has
detail
on
all
funds,
and
you
know
it's
got
everything
you
want
to
know
when
they're
on
the
budget,
you
know
sorted
by
fund
revenues,
expenditures,
justification
for
each
line.
Item
payroll,
the
executive
summary
summarizes
all
accounts
that
are
in
the
three-ring
binder
by
total
city
did
general
fund,
and
water
and
sewer
fund
also
has
more
information
on
the
budget
process,
the
objectives,
goals,
policies
or
some
information
on
personnel,
property,
values
and
millage
rate
the
debt
which
we
only
have
the
water
plant
debt
and
the
Capital
Improvement
Program
the
process.
D
To
date.
You
know
it's
a
long
process.
It
starts
back
in
March.
The
departments
are
entering
their
budgets
and
then
finance
compiles
the
budget,
request
projects,
revenues,
balances
of
funds
and
produces
this
budget
document
in
April.
The
budget
was
submitted
to
the
city
manager
and
budget
Advisory
Committee
in
May
of
2017.
The
city
manager
has
met
with
the
department
heads
the
budget.
Advisory
Committee
has
met
with
every
department
and
just
a
summary
of
some
of
the
numbers
here.
The
total
City
proposed
budget
for
2018
is
fifty-five
million.
Four
hundred
forty
two
thousand
four
forty
five.
D
Things
are
designated
for
capital,
major
capital
projects
at
7.5
million
in
capital
outlay.
That's
minor
capital,
outlay
trucks,
vehicles
equipment.
That's
1
million
three
hundred
eighty
eight
thousand
four,
eight
million
nine
hundred
eleven
thousand
of
capital
outlay,
and
what's
in
the
budget
book,
we
have
some
assumptions
and
all
funds
are
in
balance.
The
general
funds
balance
without
using
any
zone
assigned
fund
balance.
Property
values
are
increased,
it
7.5
percent.
There
really
doesn't
they
gave
us
an
estimate.
D
June
1st
is
seven
point:
nine,
eight
percent,
but
we're
being
a
little
bit
conservative
here,
the
property
tax
revenue
increase
based
on
that
is
five
hundred.
Eighty
eight
thousand
five
hundred
sixty
seven
thousand
one.
Twenty
nine
is
in
a
general
fund
and
twenty
one
thousand
687
that
increase
goes
with
CRA
fund.
A
salary
increase
is
funded
at
three
point:
five
percent
for
total
costs
of
six
hundred
thirty
thousand
health.
Dental
life
insurance,
we've
budgeted
a
ten
percent
increase.
D
We
don't
know
what
it
will
finally
be,
but
that's
a
cost
of
three
hundred
ten
thousand
workers
comp
we
budgeted
eight
percent,
an
increase
of
thirty
two
thousand
property
insurance
would
do.
A
15
percent
increase
comes
about.
Eighty
eighty
one
thousand
retirement
accounts
funded
at
the
actual
requirement.
The
police
is
at
eight
point
one.
D
Four
percent:
it
went
down
from
eight
point:
seven:
nine,
a
decrease
of
twenty
six
thousand
fire
goes
by
dollar
amounts
from
their
actuary,
so
it's
gone
seven
hundred
twenty
eight
thousand
from
709,
so
it's
a
increase
in
nineteen
thousand
and
general
fund
employees
is
just
at
the
eight
point.
Seven
percent,
the
police
and
fire
defined
benefit
plans,
as
you
kind
of
the
general
employees
is
a
defined
contribution
and
the
budget
process
going
forward.
July
eleventh
at
that
meeting,
the
dr
four
twenty
will
be
on
the
agenda.
D
That's
just
giving
the
city
manager
approval
to
sign
the
dr
four
twenty,
which
goes
back
and
it's
setting
the
millage
rate
that
you're
proposing.
It
also
sets
up
date
of
the
first
public
hearing
august.
Third,
is
the
first
budget
workshop?
That's
scheduled,
August
10th,
the
second
budget
workshop,
if
necessary
and
September
six
is
the
first
public
hearing
on
the
tentative
millage
and
in
September
19th,
second
and
final
public
hearing,
and
then
after
that,
I'm
done
with
a
budget
for
all.
No
and
that's
it.
I
have
the.

Even
though
I
was
talking,

sort
of
said
well,
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
can
increase
it
over
percent,
but
she
was
going
to
check
but
I
know
statewide
I
have
we
have
a
local
listserv
of
our
finance
people
in
some
cities
and
other
counties
had
a
higher
rate,
but
maybe
we'll
try
to
find
that
I've
got
a
conference
next
week.
I
was
going
to
query
some
of
our
other
cities
and
see
what
their,
if
they're,
planning
on
increasing
their
rate,
yeah.
G
D
It's
with
that's
our
conservative
estimate.
We
got
the
estimate
of
early
seven
point:
nine,
eight
and
we'll
find
out
July
first
on
July.
First,
we'll
get
the
certified
preliminary
estimate
on
July
first
and
that's
what
at
the
next
meeting
on
July
11th
that'll
have
what
the
actual
amount
of
taxable
value
is
and
what
the
increase
is.
This
the
7.5
is
based
on
the
June
1st
estimate
they
sent
out
to
us.
D
G
D
G
G
I
Yes,
thank
you
and
thank
you
Ron
for
doing
these
totally
updates.
All
right,
I
think,
really
helps
and
got
into
discussion
of
this,
and
it
helps
us
understand
things
better
for
our
budget
hearings
this
summer
I
know
we
lower
the
tax
rate,
a
very
very
small
amount.
This
past
year
have
we
realized
that
yet
or
and
if
not
when,
when
when
when,
when,
when
do
we
like
that?
Well,.
D
I
D
Starting
in
2018,
that's
when
we're
required
to
take
the
amount
that
they
build
over
three
hundred
thousand
and
we're
going
to
reserve
it
off
and
for
the
next
five
years
or
whatever
I
think
it's
up
to
a
certain
year.
Five
years
from
now
they
get
it
done
and
we'll
take
that
reserve
that's
built
up
and
then
km
form
if
they
get
the
hospital
er
room
done
by
the
way.
A
lot
of
time.
So.
D
I
E
I
D
I
So
I'm,
just
like
us,
you
know
if
we
negotiate
that
or
whatever
does
BB
to
be
mindful
of
that
I
think
we'd
all
want
to
be
in
the
mid
range
I
like
be
said
of
what
people
are
doing.
I
don't
want
to
be
charging
less,
but
I,
don't
wanna,
be
the
one
charging
charging
more
or
so
be
in
the
mid
range.
So,
okay,
thank
you
very
much
for
something
sure
we
should
get.
C
C
C
Don't
think
well,
I
think
only
once
or
twice
since
2008
that
I've
been
sitting
up
here
we
went
out
to
bid,
and
then
we
came
across
the
Florida
League
of
Cities
and
and
that's
we've
been
going
through
them
since
so
it
might
be
time
for
us
to
just
why
not
you
know,
we
owe
it
to
city
to
the
residents
and
save
as
much
money
as
we
can
and
I
see
that
our
revenues
is
increasing
for
property
values.
I
mean
it's
good
for
us
for
income,
I
mean
you
know
other.
C
It
also
means
that
we
could
be
paying
more
in
taxes
as
an
individual
because
our
values
are
going
up,
but
it's
good
for
my
business
that
I'm
into
so
on
the
mortgage
business.
So
it
just
means
you
know
more
homes
are
selling
and
better.
You
know
right
at
a
higher
rate,
but
you
know
I
want
to
thank
you
for.
Oh
I
did
have
another
question
that
Duke
Energy.
So
if
more
people
use
solar,
do
you
think
that
our
rates
would
go
up
from
Duke
Energy?
C
I
Just
forgot
one
thing
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Sorry,
I
thought,
though,
I
forgot
that
I
think
it's
kind
of
the
most
important
in
the
next
update
you
have
for
us.
Could
you
prepare
an
analysis
of
this?
What
tallahassee
past
I
guess
we
ought
to
be
voting
on
it.
The
extra
homestead
exemption
that
on
surface
sounds
great,
that
we're
all
going
to
get
less
rubber
on
the
road,
we're
all
going
to
be
paying
less
in
property
taxes,
I'm
just
thinking
for
myself
as
Tallahassee
passing
the
tax
burden
on
the
cities.
I
D
I
Think
we
need
to
and
I'ma
listen
to
you
because
you're
you're
you're
you're
our
finance
guy,
obviously,
but
we
really
have
to
stay
on
top
of
that,
because
who
doesn't
like
a
break
in
their
property
taxes,
but
it's
not
going
to
effectively
be
one
it's
just.
We
will
have
an
immediate
deficit
that
we
have
to
cure
and
having
a
degree
in
economics,
I
understand
the
trickle-down
effect
of
well
more
homes
will
be
sold
more
money,
more
tax
revenue,
etc.
That's
realized
three
four
or
five
years
down
the
road
best-case
scenario.
I
G
B
B
D
B
D
I
would
think
it
would
affect
them
because
they
do
basic
EMS
on
their
own
millage
rate.
So,
yes,
I
mean
based
on
whatever
the
contract
is
I
know
the
contract
for
EMS
is
increasing.
I
think
it
is
a
3%
that's
next
year.
So,
yes,
they
do
have
their
own
separate
millage
rate
and
it
would
affect
them,
but
I
don't
have
the
dollar
amount.
B
D
M
It's
okay
most.
My
questions
already
asked.
Thank
you
for
presenting
a
couple
things
I
one.
The
echo
vice
mayor
mentioned
about
the
franchise
fee
from
Duke
Energy.
That
is
something
that
we
all
pay
as
residents
directly.
It's
passed
straight
through
to
us.
So
even
if
we
increase
it,
it's
an
additional
tax
from
the
residents
and
then
the
what
vice
mayor
also
brought
up
with
a
voting
on
the
millage
rate,
decrease
I
was
going
to
recommend
looking
at
that
houses
can
be
built
in
in
the
future
years.
M
Just
to
echo
what
he
said
also,
but
I
did
have
one
question
and
I
heard
that
we
haven't
dipped
into
the
reserve
in
the
past
couple
years.
Why
is
it
level
over
the
past
two
years,
based
on
your
charge
and
I've
gone
up,
and
some
says
it
like
an
interesting
account
at
all
or
where
is
that
at
right
now?
Well,.
D
N
D
D
For
the
year
to
expenditures,
but
there's
also
within
the
fund
balance
of
the
general
fund
about
ten
other
items,
so
when
I'm
closing
out
the
fun
to
get
to
that
honest
I'm
recalculating
these
other
buckets
and
money
before
I
get
to
the
final
unassigned
fund
balance.
But
if
you
want
I
can
go
over
that
way.
M
L
However,
there
was
a
little
thing
in
there
and
I'm
glad
Susan,
miss
Commissioner,
Visio,
Slattery
kitchen
I'm,
not
sure
which
one
they
used.
Sorry
sue
brought
up
a
good
point
about
the
solar
as
more
and
more
people
go
to
solar
and,
if
Dukes
not
in
it
and
you've
got
to
realize
this
is
all
I
mean
the
big
energy
companies
aren't
wanting
to
get
into
solar
until
they
can
make
money
off
of
it.
So
how
can
we
make
money
off
of
it?
Why
not
September
20
20
is
when
the
contract
with
Duke
expires.
L
How
about?
Let's
being
I
mean
this
just
came
to
my
head
a
moment
ago,
I
mean
that
we've
talked
about
it
before,
but
the
city
of
Gainesville
has
their
own
municipal
electric
company
all
right.
So
we've
got
three
years
possibly
to
look
at
that
and
see
how
we
could
set
it
up
ourselves
now,
how
do
they
do
it?
They
generate
some
of
their
own
power.
If
you
look
at
their
partnership
with
the
University
of
Florida,
they've
got
a
Oh
cellulosic
conversion
plant
to
generate
energy,
and
then
you
know
most
electrics
buy
energy
from
somewhere
else.
L
L
L
E
G
O
Good
evening,
Paul
Smith
public
services,
director
and
I'm
pleased
to
introduce
this
presentation
to
you.
This
is
a
showcase
presentation
of
a
project
we've
done
in-house
with
the
city,
we're
very
proud
of
the
staff
that
went
out
and
got
trained
to
perform
this
project,
the
performance
on
the
project
and
the
results
and
cost
savings
that
go
with
it.
I
toured
the
project,
would
city
manager
the
chorus
and
he
agreed.
This
is
something
he
wanted
to
present
to
you
all.
O
So,
with
that
I'd
like
to
introduce
some
folks
here,
the
presenter
is
going
to
be
our
chief
utility
mechanic,
Francisco
pathes,
he's
standing
here
to
my
left.
He
was
also
the
project
manager
and
also
in
the
audience
we
have
Justin
the
most
whose
utility
mechanic-
and
we
also
have
Michael
Seleucus
utility
mechanic,
and
we
appreciate
them
coming
tonight
on
their
time
to
to
see
this
presentation.
They
were
an
important
part
of
getting
this
project
done,
I'm
very
proud
of
what
they've
done
and
with
that
Francisco.
Are
you
about
ready
to
launch
that?
Okay?
O
O
P
You
both
good
evening
board
and
mayor.
We
looked
at
this
project
together
and
we
had
essentially
a
vision
that
we
wanted
to
make.
The
city
of
tarpon
springs
its
own
service,
and
we
cannot
try
to
explain
it
with
this
image,
where
we
can
see
the
cemeteries
dark
in
in
the
center.
We
actually
have
water,
the
we
had
this
vision
and
we
think
health-food
Paul.
We
try
to
make
it
a
reality.
P
To
talk
about
a
little
bit
of
what
we
had
before
from
the
history
of
the
cemetery,
we
had
a
steel
pipe
system
which
was,
at
the
beginning,
a
very
good
system,
but
as
metal,
it's
in
the
ground
for
years
to
start
rusting
and
at
very
hard
to
repair
later
on.
There
was
another
system
installed
with
PVC
pipes.
P
The
problem
with
that
was
that
it
was
poorly
installed
in
the
technology
at
the
time,
wasn't
very
up
to
par
with
what
we
needed,
especially
on
our
commercial
system,
and
then
we
came
up
with
a
newer
system
that
had
a
better
control,
but
it
was
multiple
controls.
You
didn't,
have
centralized
control
and,
honestly
all
of
them
were
poorly
implemented
without
a
master
plan,
no
idea
of
congruence,
so
that
led
us
through
a
challenge.
We
need
to
assist
them
all
with
autonomous,
simple,
reliable,
something
that
can
serve
many
locations
and
anytime
a
day
anytime.
P
We
want
it,
we
just
press
a
button
to
make
it
happen
needed
to
be
reliable,
because
if
we
don't
have
any
water,
we
can't
grow
grass
and
make
it
pretty
for
everybody
to
be
there
efficient.
We
have
this
ability
to
implement
the
system
ourselves
and
save
money,
lots
of
it
and
that
led
us
to
the
last
point
where
we
wanted
to
have
a
smart
system,
something
that
will
work
for
us
as
well
as
us
working
for
it,
and
that
was,
as
Paul
mentioned,
the
two
wire
system.
P
That's
the
beauty
about
the
two
wire
system
is
that
if
you
can
see
on
the
right
before,
you
had
hundreds
of
wires
to
run
ozone
to
water,
the
park
or
I'm.
Sorry,
the
cemetery
and
we
use
the
new
system
to
come
up
with
two
wires,
as
the
name
calls
it,
which
aids
in
diagnostic
diagnosis
and
in
house
repairs.
P
P
So
here's
our
in-house
process
Paul
brought
it
up
to
us
as
an
idea,
and
we
said
yes
and
we
started
with
training.
We
went
to
training
we
spend
a
week
or
so
in
the
south
of
Florida,
getting
trained
on
the
best
system
that
we
can
install.
We
spend
weeks
evaluating
it
and
we
actually
came
up
with
a
two
wire
system.
P
P
Then
we
began
an
installation
is
when
we
found
our
issues
and
we
started
to
optimize
the
system
which
comes
down
on
a
later
slide
and
we
gave
it
to
cemetery
staff
to
manage
so
they
were
trained
and
they
learned
the
processes
it
was
being
installed,
which
is
great
and
something
we
don't
get
when
we
had
a
contractor,
so
the
project
turned
to
turn
to
be
a
little
bit
harder
than
actually
was.
We
came
up
with
this
design.
P
We
had
to
change
the
piping
and
we
came
up
with
a
lot
of
issues
and
things
that
were
in
the
ground.
We
did
not
foresee.
We
ended
up
having
to
hand
dig
five
thousand
feet
of
trench,
but
we
couldn't
use
a
trench
here
because
there's
graves
and
there's
other
piping
that
we
could
have
actually
hid.
So
handing
was
the
only
way
possible.
We
install
4,000
feet
of
wire,
which
was
placing
a
conduit
to
keep
it
safe
from
future
diggings
because,
as
an
active
dig
site
in
five
to
six
hundred
feet
of
pipe
were
actually
repaired.
P
That
was
something
we
did
not
foresee.
We
did
not
think
that
it
was
that
bad
on
the
ground.
We
replaced
the
valves
with
new
valves
that
actually
are
reclaimed
proof,
so
they
will
last
a
long
time
and
we
also
implemented
a
nine
ground
grid
system
which
will
keep
us
from
getting
lightning
strikes
and
hopefully
keep
our
systems
say
throughout
the
storms,
since
we
get
over
14,000
lightning
strikes
a
year
and
here's
some
of
the
Show
and
Tell
on
the
left.
You
see
the
before,
and
obviously
the
after
on
the
right.
P
Here's
one
of
my
favorites
on
the
Left.
We
have
nine
elbows
at
90
degrees
to
get
the
flow
on
the
pipe.
This
is
pretty
impressive
because
if
you
start
with-
let's
say
10
gallons
per
minute
after
nine
of
those
you're,
probably
getting
about
one
gallon
per
minute
coming
out
and
we've
actually
improved
that
over
50
sites
in
that
cemetery
and
on
the
left,
we
have
our
control
systems,
so
you
have
to
run
around
from
one
side
to
the
other
one
to
turn
one
o'clock
and
then
turn
the
other
one
on
and
hopefully
will
work.
P
P
We
saved
over
$100,000
by
taking
this
project
in
ourselves
and
one
of
the
words
that
comes
to
mind
when
I'm
thinking
about
it
is
change
order.
We
have
no
change
orders
because
everything
was
done
here.
We
save
time
and
we
train
staff.
They
are
able
to
troubleshoot
the
system
and
they
know
where
everything
goes.
Hydraulics
was
a
side
effect.
We
didn't
know
was
this
bad
and
we
have
improved
the
flow
of
water
significantly.
This
helps
us
conserve
resources
and
implement
them
elsewhere.
P
Full
automation,
the
system
runs
without
having
to
be
babysat,
and
the
irrigation
is
also
reduced
by
50%,
so
stats
doesn't
have
to
monitor
or
start
irrigating
at
times
that
are
not
beneficial
for
the
turf
quality
of
construction,
respect
all
the
all
the
components
that
were
going
on
the
ground.
Therefore,
we
know
that
they're
going
to
last,
and
you
know
where
to
get
new
ones
for
replacement
and
the
system
is
also
smart.
It
can
diagnose
itself,
learn,
find
leaks
and
they
will
walk
you
right
where
the
leaks
are.
P
It's
actually
very
useful
for
staff
to
save
time
and
conserve
resources
and
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
to
our
city
manager.

There,
obviously
for
the
presentation
adjusting
economist
take
one.
He
took
a
huge
part
of
this
project,
us
management
on
the
field,
Michael
seleucus
great
part
of
this
project
as
well.
David,
we
toss
key
for
putting
up
with
us.
Through
the
time
we
were
at
his
cemetery.
P
He
was
having
to
deal
with
all
the
digging
and
keeping
up
with
the
turf
as
well
Renee,
Hudson
or
cemetery
assistant
operator.
She
now
knows
the
system
inside
and
out
and
can
diagnose
it
and
work
it
very
well,
as
well
as
my
Michael
Keaton.
Our
cemetery
laborer
who's
also
was
there
through
this
process,
and
now
knows
the
cemetery
radiation
very
well.
Our
city
of
Cedar,
tarpon,
springs.
G
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
in
old
cemetery
looks
really
nice
and,
with
these
irrigation
will
look
even
nicer.
I
like
to
thank
all
the
employees
that
got
involved
working
on
this
project
and
doing
the
project
in-house.
We
save
a
lot
of
money
plus
you
have
the
expertise
to
maintain
it,
but
mr.
Smith
doing
the
program
in
place
where
we
can
recognize
employees
for
performing
above
their
responsibilities.
G
O
We
do
several
ways.
One
of
them
is:
we
have
a
policy
hen
which
actually
looks
for
certification
opportunities
for
employees
and
when
they
go
and
get
these
certifications
that
are
a
mutual
benefit
to
them
and
the
we
recognize
them
with
a
percent
pay
increase.
So
it's
a
permanent
increase
to
their
pay
in
a
skill
that
helps
them
develop
in
their
careers
and
also
the
city
directly
like
with
this
project.
For.
G
Doing
a
project
like
this,
which
is
not
a
usual
thing,
it
happens
probably
once
a
lifetime,
you
don't
replace
it
irrigation
that
often
I
like
to
see
the
employees
to
be
recognized
specially
to
be
recognized.
If
you
invite
them
over
here
and
just
to
say,
thank
you
and
let
everybody
know
the
work
that
they
do.
I
really
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
O
C
P
And
it
also
has
internet
connection
where
it
will
forecast
the
will
forecast
the
area.
So
you
can
enter
your
zip
code
and
you
will
know
ahead
of
time
and
you
can
look
it
up
on
your
cell
phone.
You
will
tell
you
hey,
there's
a
front
coming
we're
we're
considering
not
irrigating,
but
let
you
do
the
decision
as
well
as.
C
You
my
abilities,
that's
because
you
know
so
many
of
us
have
sprinkler
systems,
you
know
in
our
neighborhoods
and
it's
pouring
down
rain
and
some
people
sprinklers
are
on
because
you
know
you're
not
going
to
run
out
there
and
turn
whatever
you
do.
I,
don't
know
what
to
do.
We
program
it,
but
this
is
that's
a
great
so
that
alone
I'm
totally
impressed
with,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
this.
I
Thank
you.
You
know
we
have
some
of
the
most
forward-thinking
staff
and
it
comes
for
things
like
this
and
Public
Works
in
in
it
in
any
Cemetery
I'm.
Just
very
thankful
that
you
are
thinking
of
these
things.
I
think
it's
definitely
a
great
thing
we
do,
and
especially
in
the
recent
updates
of
the
cemetery
for
the
faithful
departed,
that
we
have
a
nice
resting
place
in
town,
I.
I
Think
I
think
that
that's
very
important
as
far
as
your
presentation,
obviously,
but
my
paygrade
I
mean
I,
can
barely
use
my
own
sprinkler
system,
but
I
think
it
has
all
others
needed
to
buy
the
proper
irrigation
and
I
appreciate
all
the
technological
at
you
know.
You
know
aspects
of
it
that
I'm
sure
will
save
us
money
down
the
road.
Obviously,
so
I
appreciate
your
work
and
I
agree
with
the
mayor
that
will
available
when
this
is
implemented.
We
should
recognize
all
the
staff
and
people
that
helped
make
this
possible
thing.
I
E
M
Want
to
echo
again
the
comments
that
are
made
tonight,
it's
great
to
see
an
in-house
project
and
that's
something
that
had
to
go
out
to
bid
and
done
and
to
see
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
savings
is
huge
for
other
projects
that
we've
worked
on
throughout
the
city
at
a
sooner
pace,
instead
of
postponing
it
until
further
a
year.
So,
thanks
again
for
everything,
you've
done.
M
G
G
O
Good
evening,
Paul
Smith
again
public
services
director-
and
this
item
is
a
great
partnership
with
the
Parks
Recreation
Advisory
Board
city
staff.
I
see
this
as
a
project.
That's
an
excellent
example
of
how
our
advisory
boards
work
with
us
to
advise
us
on
things
we
can
do
to
improve,
in
this
case
Parks
and
Recreation.
This
is
a
program
where
I
believe
we
also
worked
well
with
the
league's
keeping
them
involved
in
our
recommendations.
O
As
we
went,
I
believe
there
were
two
or
maybe
even
three
opportunities
for
leagues
to
come
and
see
this
very
presentation
that
we're
giving
you
tonight
to
give
us
their
comments
and
their
concerns.
I'll
just
jump
ahead
by
telling
you
overall,
the
league's,
embraced
this.
They
do
understand
the
need
and
the
fact
that
they
are
getting
excellent
facilities
for
very,
very
little
cost.
There
was
one
comment
from
soccer
that
would
prefer
a
different
way
to
calculate
the
fee,
but
they
understood
our
reasoning.
Why
and
said
they
would
accept
it.
O
So,
hopefully
that
might
head
off
any
concerns
you
might
have
as
I
give
you
this
presentation
I'd
also
like
to
recognize.
There
are
members
of
our
Parks
and
Recreation
Advisory
Board
in
the
audience,
in
fact,
they're
making
up
a
good
percentage
of
our
audience
tonight
and
I.
Thank
them
for
being
here
and
I'll.
Ask
Jim
Mauer
the
vice
chair
who's
recently
been
elected
as
the
chair
of
the
parks
rec
forward
to
identify
them
when
he
comes
up
in
just
a
moment.
O
So
as
far
as
the
presentation,
this
just
gives
a
background.
I'll
briefly
go
through
this
an
overview
of
what
brought
us
to
our
recommendations
to
you
tonight.
This
is
a
joint
recommendation
of
the
advisory
board
and
city
staff,
which
includes
not
only
the
public
services
department,
but
the
public
works
department
as
well
since
they're
the
ones
that
maintain
the
fields
tom
function
is
in
the
audience
in
case
there's
any
questions
related
to
his
areas
of
the
parks,
maintenance
fields,
maintenance
that
sort
of
thing
so
with
that
I'll
briefly
talk
about
our
current
challenges.
O
What
brought
us
to
going
over
this?
The
summary
of
the
costs,
the
solutions
that
we
proposed,
a
brief
comparison
of
different
area
field
structures,
the
estimated
cost
for
the
leagues
and
our
conclusions
and
recommendations.
So
our
fields
are
very
high.
Quality
I
think
that's
pretty
widely
known
they're
in
high
demand.
As
a
result,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
availability
for
other
uses.
So
that's
something
we're
aware
of,
and
we
need
to
look
at.
Our
maintenance
cost
continue
to
rise.
O
The
last
estimate
was
somewhere
around
170
thousand
per
year
range,
but
I'm,
confident
that
numbers
higher
now
I
think
we've
done
a
job
of
accounting
for
those
expenses,
but
I
think
there's
just
some
increases
that
aren't
totally
accounted
for
there.
We
have
a
general
population
of
24,000,
paying
basically
through
tax
dollars
for
the
benefit
of
about
1,100
League
members,
many
of
which
are
non-residents.
So
it
sets
up
a
dynamic
that
we
consider.
O
We
recommend
you
consider
an
approach
based
on
user
fee
on
actual
field
usage
time,
and
what
this
would
do
is
allow
the
possibility
for
more
availability,
as
the
league's
review,
how
much
use
they
actually
need,
and
also
it
allow
for
a
more
balanced
cost
recovery.
One
other
thing
we
note
from
an
administrative
end
is
our
process
for
trying
to
verify
the
rosters
for
the
leagues.
Each
season
has
become
cumbersome
many
times.
O
We're
chasing
after
the
leagues
to
get
the
proper
number
of
attendees
or
participants
sometimes
into
the
beginning
of
the
season,
so
this
approach
would
solve
that
problem
because
the
schedules
are
already
put
together
at
the
beginning.
So
if
it's
based
on
a
league
field
use
time
on
a
schedule,
that's
already
submitted,
it
just
avoids
the
whole
roster
issue.
O
This
is
an
overview
of
cost,
but
it
shows
you
by
field
also
that
by
type
of
expense,
supplies,
repairs,
lights,
staff,
time,
irrigation
supplies,
pesticides,
fertilizers,
seed,
labor,
etc,
and
it
told
us
up
to
that
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
so
solutions
I
talked
about
already.
Is
the
user
fee
type
approach
I
want
to
emphasize
here
we're
really
proposing
a
portion,
a
partial
cost
recovery
I
think
it
calculates
out
to
less
than
twenty
five
percent
of
the
actual
cost
is
what
we're
proposing
to
you
as
an
initial
fee.
O
We
explain
this
to
the
league's
and
I
think
they
found
that
to
be
reasonable.
So,
based
on
that
calculation,
we
would
propose
a
dollar
per
field
per
hour
type
approach.
So
if
a
league,
you
know
our
different
areas
have
multiple
fields,
so
if
they
want
to
use
three
fields
for
three
hours,
that
would
be
three
times
three
at
the
dollar
per
hour
rate
that
we're
proposing
of
250
per
hour
in
the
past,
we've
only
billed
based
on
field
lighting,
and
that
itself
was
a
partial
recovery
of
the
cost.
O
One
thing
we
also
looked
at
is:
we
would
have
proposed
to
exempt
the
leagues
from
the
recreation
activity
card
requirement
system,
minimize
those
administrative
requirements
on
the
league's
and
city.
We
feel
that,
if
we're
paying
a
usage,
feed
and
probably
shouldn't
also
charge
them
for
the
recreation
card
fee
for
the
field
use
now,
if
they
were
to
go
on
to
use
other
city
facilities,
which
we
hope
they
would
with
the
recreation,
then
that
would
incur
fee
appropriate
for
that
use.
O
Here's
a
comparison
of
the
different
field,
fee
structures,
and
really
this
is
just
to
show
that
it's
common
for
different
local
governments
in
areas
to
charge
for
their
fields
per
player
per
season
or
per
our
st.
petersburg's
example.
There
you'll
see
it
totals
two
dollars
and
fifty
cents
per
hour,
which
is
the
rate
we're
proposing
to
you
tonight.
O
Here's
how
that
might
impact
the
leagues
this
was
based
on
their
actual
field
usage
hours.
This
was
reviewed
with
the
league's.
That's
the
last
column
there,
so
it
totals
thirty
nine
thousand
dollars,
as
proposed
based
on
their
submitted
schedules.
I
do
believe
that,
once
that
hourly
rate
is
imposed,
their
schedules
might
go
down
in
terms
of
the
number
of
hours
they're
asking
for
which
would
create
less
of
a
cost
to
them
and
also
some
possible
field
availability
time.
O
In
conclusion,
the
user
fee
approach
talking
about
recovering
a
portion
of
the
maintenance
costs,
we're
recommending
two
dollars
and
fifty
cents
per
field
per
hour.
It's
a
reasonable
rate
and
that
would
include
the
cost
of
the
lighting,
so
they
wouldn't
be
built.
In
addition
to
that,
for
lighting
can
just
be
a
flat
fee
for
all
field
use
day
or
night.
Q
Merrill
who's,
this
members
of
the
board
city
staff,
my
name
is
Jim
Mowrer
and
I'm.
The
chairman
elect
at
present
time
of
the
Parks
and
Rec
Advisory
Board.
Thank
you,
I'm,
making
the
presentation
for
a
Celia
Dube.
Who
is
our
current
chairman.
She
was
unable
to
attend
tonight.
We
do
have
four
other
members
of
the
board
here,
I'd
like
to
introduce
them.
If
I
may
she'll
raise
your
hand
when
they
call
your
name:
Alice,
Morgan,
Elizabeth,
Posner,
Jason,
clintus
and
christopher
yours.
So
we're
happy
to
have
you
here.
Q
I
I
must
say
that
the
board
has
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this.
We've
had
at
least
three
meetings
with
sports
officials
and
key
managers,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion.
As
Paul
said,
the
soccer
people
would
have
been
more
amenable
to
a
per
player
fee,
but
we
just
I
think
we
convinced
them
that
it's
just
unmanageable
because
of
the
team's
shifting
around
and
the
players
coming
and
going
and
so
forth.
Q
This
is
just
a
much
much
easier
approach
and
that
to
make
a
long
story
short,
the
board
is
fully
on
board
with
the
city's
proposal
of
two
dollars
and
50
cents
an
hour
and
just
to
cut
through
the
forest,
to
show
you
that
what
the
trees
look
like
two
dollars
and
fifty
cents
an
hour
if
a
sports
team
is
going
out
to
use
a
soccer
field.
If
there
are
ten
players
utilizing
that
field,
it
cost
each
player,
25
cents
to
use
the
field
for
an
hour.
There's
a
lot
more
than
10
players
out.
Q
There
probably
have
that
it
comes
down
to
the
point
where
they
couldn't
even
buy
a
bottle
of
water
for
that
charge,
so
that
I
don't
think
it's
a
due
impact
on
any
child
or
family
to
charge.
These
fees-
and
you
know
we're
talking
about
city
budgets
of
millions.
What
we're
talking
about
here
is
trying
to
increase
the
city
revenues
by
about
$40,000
and,
as
Paul
said,
it's
only
25
percent
of
the
amount
we
spend
on
the
field.
Q
All
of
our
sports
teams
agree
that
we
have
some
of
the
finest
fields
that
they
have
seen,
they're
in
excellent
shape
and
my
hats
off
to
all
the
city's
employees
who
managed
those
fields.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
say
that
once
again,
it
was
unanimous
that
we
agree
with
the
city
proposal
for
$2
$0.50
per
hour
across
the
board
fuel
usage
fee.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
G
M
You
have
a
question
for
fall
as
a
city
looked
at
LED
lights
for
the
recreation
field,
who
are
they
LED
lights
currently
I
said
no.
That
would
probably
reduce
the
cost
and
having
it
they're
really
expensive
bulbs
begin
with,
and
then
replacement
of
LED
is
a
lot
less
as
often
as
a
regular
condition.
All
this
that's.
R
We
did
it,
we
we
just
replaced
lights
over
at
towards
that
part,
and
the
cost
between
the
standard
lights
will
be
about
now.
The
halogen
lights
and
the
LEDs
was
extremely
expensive
at
the
time
we
are
doing
some
other
lighting
changes
LEDs
around
the
city,
but
that's
right
now,
the
the
courts.
We
double,
what
we
put
into
the
lights
we
get
now.
As
far
as
all
of
these
come,
it
has
to
meet
a
certain
lumination
right
because
we're
playing
sport
field-
I
just
don't
have
that
technology
yet
do
they
do
have,
is
extremely
expensive.
Okay,.
R
I
broke
that
we
broke
it
down.
The
cost
is
probably
about
it's
about
20%,
less
to
operate
other
LEDs,
but
the
double
cost
I'm,
putting
the
lights
up.
Add
additional
lights,
additional
poles
that
additional
lighting,
so
there
was
not
a
cost
benefit
there
for
doing
it
at
the
present
time.
Hopefully,
in.
E
C
You
the
first
I,
want
to
thank
the
Parks
and
Rec
boards
for
volunteering
for
our
community.
It's
a
fun
board
to
sit
on.
It
can
be
a
little
trying
at
times.
I
remember
when
it
first
came
together.
You
have
that
sunshine
law
thing,
so
sometimes
it
makes
a
little
challenging,
but
I'm.
Thank
you
for
volunteer
I.
Remember
back
when
we
started
charging
you'll
remember
this.
Mr.
C
Smith
remembers
we
started
charging
for
lighting
at
the
fields
and
we
had
a
lot
of
pushback
at
that
time
from
the
league,
and
there
was
a
really
tough
decision
to
make
at
the
time,
and
you
know
they
only
makes
so
much
money
so
but
and
I
didn't
know
if
that
was
the
best
idea
at
the
time.
But
that's
what
we
had
you
know
so
and
I've
talked
to
mr.
Smith
about
this.
That
you
know.
C
I
just
want
to
be
assured
that
you
know
you
all
spoke
with
the
league's
and
and
they're
all
on
board,
because,
like
I
said,
we
had
a
lot
of
push
back
last
time.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
I
hope.
This
works
out
for
everybody,
because
we
have
some
beautiful
parks
in
this
community
and
beautiful.
Thank
you,
Tom
are
you
there?
You
know
we
do.
We
have
always
here
great.
You
know
wonderful
comments
about
our
parks
and
fields
and
stuff
and
they're
in
great
shape.
C
So
I
know
it
takes
a
lot
of
time,
effort
and
money
on
our
part
as
well,
but-
and
hopefully
this
can
free
up
some
some
more
time,
because
there
is
also
concerns
of
her
concerns
that
some
people
can't
get
on
the
fields
when
they
want
to
get
on
the
field.
So
maybe
this
might
help
that
situation
as
well.
So,
thank
you
all
so
much.
M
M
I
Thank
you
as
well
want
to
thank
all
the
members
here.
We
don't
get
the
way.
We
don't
get
to
see
you
all
very
often,
but
you
have
an
important
role.
I
think
I've
always
said
when
you
look
at
when
you
know
taxpayers
look
at
what
is
my
tax
money
go
for.
You
know
you
think
first
responders,
police,
fire
and
just
under
that,
it's
parks
and
recreation,
that's
crucial
to
any
full
service
community.
So
what
you
all
do,
but
we
might
not
see
as
much
as
planning
and
zoning.
It's
very
important,
so
I
want
to.
I
G
Tax
goes
to
the
general
fund
and
that's
how
we
finance
that
so
I,
don't
think
it
should
be.
The
non-resident
should
be
treated
the
same
way
as
the
resident
if
we
can
find
a
mechanism
to
do
that,
but
I
believe
that
then
I
agree
with
with
proposed
that
we
should
be
recovering
some
of
the
expenses
that
we
already
think
and
I
want
to
congratulate
everyone
involved
for
maintaining
the
field.
So
nice
they're
beautiful.
Thank
you
we're
now
going
to
the
public
comments
on
this
item.
L
L
But
I
would
like
at
some
point
the
rec
board
to
be
updated
on
whatever
plans
that
I
mentioned
to
y'all
before
that
are
on
the
shelf,
about
the
Sports
Complex,
and
maybe
they
can
start
weighing
in
on
it.
As
far
as
how
we
can
change
that
landfill
into
a
sports
complex
that
has
soccer
fields
and
baseball
fields
and
as
even
mark
Lycoris
when
we
talked
about
this
years
ago,
talked
about
tournaments
that
we
could
sponsor.
L
So
thank
you
for
your
contribution.
I
know
it's
a
hard
board
to
work
on,
because
it's
what
you'll,
still
four
o'clock
on
a
Thursday
or
Wednesday
or
some
so
I
know
it.
You
don't
get
sometimes
the
participation
that
you
would
that
some
of
the
other
boards
do
get.
The
only
last
thing
I
would
like
to
ask
or
mention
in
regards
to
saving
money,
especially
with
electricity.
E
O
G
O
Mayor
we
will
I
will
add
that
there
is
something
to
that
effect
already
with
the
recreation
activity
cards
we
they're
free
to
the
residents,
but
the
non-residents
pay
something
like
fifty
five
dollars
per
person
and
75
per
family.
So
there
is
an
extra
cost
to
non-residents
already
built
into
our
recreation
program.
Yeah
you're.

M
Going
to
comment
what
we
can
umber
well,
there's
a
couple
of
them
that
are
having
to
do
with
like
sidewalks
and
some
other
mitigation
for
flooding
and
some
other
aspects.
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
some
additional
information
in
the
back
up
in
the
consent
I've
reached
out
to
some
staff.
Members
and
they've
all
been
really
helpful
about
getting
me
some
information,
but
like
one
page
of
just
kind
of
a
summary
to
me,
isn't
enough
for
some
of
these
projects.
M
G
A
M
G
C
M
G
O
You
Paul
Smith
public
services
director.
This
item
were
requesting
authorization
to
increase
the
annual
contract
amount.
This
is
for
our
city
engineers
of
record.
It's
actually
a
shared
contract
between
two
firms
and
our
experience.
We
found
that
seems
to
work
better
for
the
city
to
share
that
engineer
record
between
the
two
firms,
so
that
we
find
that
a
certain
one
performs
more
efficiently
at
one
type
of
work,
the
other
we're
able
to
use
those
as
they
best
fit.
O
Our
needs
here,
we're
asking
for
an
increase
from
200,000
to
500,000,
and
mainly
this
is
because
we're
getting
a
lot
of
work
done.
This
is
actually
a
time
when
more
money
is
a
good
thing.
It's
showing
us
moving
through
our
projects
in
our
capital
improvement
program
and
making
good
progress.
I
see
one
example
here
we
put
in
the
memo.
Is
this
upcoming
Mears
boulevard
project,
which
is
quite
sizable,
and
it's
something
that
we
request
this
authorization
so
that
we
can
keep
going
with
that
type
of
work?
G
B
Can
address
that
man?
Okay,
I
work,
a
lot
with
purchasing
when
you're
talking
about
specialized
services
like
engineers,
it's
not
a
bidding
process,
it's
a
request
for
qualifications
process
and
back
on
twelve
six.
Sixteen
purchasing,
which
gave
you
a
memo
which,
in
the
back,
which
in
the
back
up
and
basically
outline
how
they
selected
these
engineering
firms,
they
were
the
top
one
and
two
and
then
once
you
once
you
select
once
you
rank
them,
then
you
go
and
you
discuss
price,
but
it's
an
RFQ
process,
it's
in
line
with
Florida
Statutes.
B
G
M
M
Okay,
how
many
people
are
typically
involved
like
when
we're
going
to
an
outsourced
situation
like
this
like?
Do
they
use
their
whole
staff
I'm
just
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
this
because
to
me
spending
additional
$250,000
on
top
of
what
we're
spending
already
just
300
for
a
total
of
500
just
seems
like
a
lot
of
money
that
we
could
hire
staff
ourselves
and
do
something
in-house
moving
forward.
So
I
just
want
to
embark.
B
I
trust
that
real,
quick,
I'm
Commissioner,
if
you
in
the
back
up
it
explains
we
have
a
new
projects,
development
department,
a
lot
of
projects
are
really
starting
to
heat
up.
If
you
look
at
the
mirrors
project
alone,
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
money
to
engineer
and
design
that
project
that
we
won't
have.
If
we
stay
at
the
two
hundred
thousand
limit,
where
we're
going
up
to
a
ceiling,
we're
requesting
you
know
basically
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
as
a
ceiling
limit,
so
we
can
complete
these
projects
and
have
approval
to
complete
them.
B
So
without
a
doubt,
this
$500,000
is
there
for
a
good
reason.
We
have
a
lot
of
projects
coming
up
that
they're
going
to
need
to
be
done
and
designed
by
these
engineering
firms.
So
that's
why
you
see
the
increase
from
the
original
200,000
I
believe
Paul.
That
mirrors
project
alone
is
going
to
eat
up
close
to
300
thousand
correct
yeah.
B
M
Some
I'm
curious
to
see
how
many
people
are
involved
each
other
company,
so
but
what
the
mirrors
is
that,
like
from
the
mango
circle,
mango
circle,
19
portion
because
I
thought
the
development
that's
coming
in
is
actually
me
paying
for
the
mirrors
project.
I,
don't
know
if
anyone
could
speak
on
that
tonight,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
where
the
cost
that
we
just
confirming
their
engineers
are
doing
a
good
job
on
the
design.
Or
do
we
design
this
ourselves
and
then
have
them
pay
for
part
of
the
contract
or
part
of
the
project?
B
Engineers
will
do
the
designing.
This
is
our
best
estimate
on
what
this
is
all
going
to
cost
as
we
move
forward,
especially
with
that
mirrors
project.
I,
don't
have
Bob
Robertson
here
tonight,
but
again
he
was
heavily
involved
in
this
back
up
memos
in
it
and
every
expenditure
will
be.
You
know,
budget
allocated
and
spent
appropriately.
Thank.
G
G
B
B
And
you
know
that
that
department
was
newly
created,
of
course,
he's.
As
you
know,
the
spearhead
on
your
end
quote
River
dredge
project,
but
yeah
I
mean
I,
don't
think
say:
managing
have
a
problem
with
that
at
all,
especially
as
he
gets
up
and
going,
and
you
know
start
to
identify
projects
to
give
this
board
3
out
update.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
M
G
O
Good
evening,
Paul
Smith
again
I'm
getting
a
fair
share
of
podium
time
yeah
this.
This
is
an
exciting
close
to
the
highest
priority
area,
ranked
in
a
study
that
goes
back
to
the
year.
2001
I
believe-
and
this
is
the
Lake
tarpon
area
and
just
by
way
of
background,
this
area
was
selected
because
of
the
highest
potential
for
improvement
to
the
environment.
It's
a
it
was
a
detailed
look.
I
was
actually
the
project
manager
on
that
study
and
it
looked
at
the
types
of
soils.
How
close
you
were
to
the
lake
tarpon
water
body?
O
How
impaired
that
water
body
might
be
by
these
tick
tanks
in
the
area
and
as
a
result,
this
area
I
got
the
highest
rating
for
us
to
go
forward.
That
was
quite
a
large
area
and
we've
been
working
on
that
in
multiple
phases
over
the
years.
As
you
all
know.
Well,
this
is
the
final
phase
of
this
area,
one
and
it's
about
a
five
block
by
three
block
area.
O
It's
sort
of
near
nineteen
on
the
east
side
of
it,
and
once
this
is
complete,
we'll
be
able
to
move
over
to
the
second-ranked
area,
which
in
this
case
is
Seabreeze
drive,
which
we've
already
got
in
our
budget
for
the
design.
Part
of
that
word,
so
we're
all
looking
forward
to
that.
Moving
along
this
project,
the
good
news
is
the
contractor
someone
we
worked
with
successfully
before
the
low
bidder,
and
it
came
in
some
almost
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
less
than
the
original
estimate.
O
That'll
be
very
helpful
to
us
as
we
move
forward
with
the
budget,
provided
that
things
go
according
to
plan
and
we
don't
have
any
big
additional
expenses
that
we
can't
foresee
at
this
point.
So
staff
recommends
that
this
be
awarded
to
the
contractor
and
that
we
go
ahead
and
get
started
with
this
project.
Thank.
G
G
Thank
you,
I
think
something
that
would
be
talking.
We've
talked
in
the
past
that
we
need
to
I
keep
looking
for
a
grant
to
provide
financial
assistance
to
the
residents
to
be
able
to
hook
up,
because
it's
very
expensive
for
their
people
to
be
able
to
hook
up
through
the
the
network.
We're
still
looking.
Yes,.
O
We
are
I
will
say
that
this
is
probably
widely
known,
but
these
types
of
improvements
to
these
areas
go
directly
towards
the
property
values.
To
the
point
that
people
do
come
to
us
and
say:
when
are
you
going
to
come?
Bring
the
sewer
to
us?
So
although
it
is
a
cost-
and
it
is
something
that
we
do
have
some
options
for
people
to
finance,
at
least
at
the
city
part
of
the
city
portion
of
the
cost?
It
is
a
net
benefit
to
the
homeowner
as
well.
G
C
G
O
Yeah,
the
city
portion
of
the
cost
is
around
2000
and
then
you've
got
the
private
contractor
doing
the
plumbing
and
abandoning
the
septic
tank
and
I'd
be
afraid
to
hazard
a
guest
on
that.
But
we
do
see
that
often
neighborhoods
are
successful.
Getting
a
contractor
to
do
sort
of
a
group
pricing
because
they're
already
in
the
area,
it's
something
that
we
kind
of
stay
arm's
length
from,
because
we
don't
want
to
get
in
as
a
recommender
of
something
that
we
don't
control.
O
M
M
M
So
that
sounds
like
it
is
an
option,
but
thank
you
for
your
group
and
the
work
you
guys
are
working
on
with
this,
because
how
environmental,
sensitive
Tarpon
Springs
is
with
the
lake
with
the
river,
with
the
bayous
and
with
the
Gulf
of
Mexico,
all
all
surrounding
us.
So
thanks
again
for
bringing
this
word.
Oh
you're.
G
J
You
have
is
an
interlocal
agreement
that
is
executed
between
the
municipalities
within
the
county
in
the
county
as
a
means
to
disseminate
the
penny
for
Pinellas
dollars,
should
that
be
approved
on
November's
ballot
by
the
electorate.
If
you
have
any
specific
questions,
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
answer
them
for
you.
J
G
You
Katie
for
Pinellas
is
very
important
for
a
program
for
us.
We
because
of
that
we've
been
been
able
to
do
many
projects
and
if
it's
approved
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
lot
more
projects.
So
can
you
mister
country?
Would
you
please
tell
us
how
we're
going
to
inform
the
the
residents?
So
they
know
the
importance
of
this
program.
Thank.
B
You
Mary
Weaver
Raymond,
informing
residence
and
not
only
ask
the
county
and
other
cities.
As
most
people
know,
the
vote
is
November
7
of
2017,
but
on
our
website
for
anyone
that's
watching
tonight
we
have
a
whole
segment
on
penny
for
Pinellas,
where
all
kinds
of
link
to
the
county's
website.
They
have
a
penny
website,
all
kinds
of
different
information
and
presentations
that
were
done
and
I.
Think
in
the
future.
We
would
need
to
obviously
utilize
I
know.
B
I
talked
to
mark
about
it,
putting
out
informational
fliers
in
our
water
bill
when
that
time
is
right.
We
also
look
at
social
media
Facebook,
putting
materials
again
informational
materials
at
City,
Hall,
the
library
and
other
locations
throughout
the
city.
So
without
doubt
it
needs
to
be
advertised
in
the
information
may
need
to
get
out
to
our
residents
all
right.
Thank
you,
and
every.
G
H
G
G
B
Thank
you
man.
As
you
can
see,
in
the
back
up,
we
had
a
committee
that
worked
pretty
extensively
with
our
labor
attorney
to
look
at
some
of
our
rules
and
get
them
up
to
date.
You
know
with
the
times
and
with
you
know,
applicable,
federal
state
and
local
law.
These
updates
apply
the
rule,
one
which
is
prohibition
of
discrimination,
rule
for
applications,
exams,
eligibility,
u.s.
rule,
seven
conflict
of
interest,
rule
11
deals
with
leaves
rule
13,
harassment
and
discrimination
and
rule
18
discipline.
B
We
all
agree
with
these
updates
to
the
policies,
especially
when
you're
doing
rule
18
with
discipline.
Some
of
those
some
of
those
sections
were
outdated
and
now
we're
up
to
date.
Another
thing
we
looked
at,
if
approved
by
you
tonight,
being
in
a
police
department.
We
go
through
this
every
year
with
our
policies
and
procedures,
and
we
also
have
a
electronic
computerized
system
called
power
DMS,
where
all
of
our
policies
are
posted
on
there,
any
kind
of
training
that
we
do
with
it.
You
also
have
to
go
in
there.
B
They
have
to
sign
off
on
it
and
we
are
going
to
implement
that
over
here
at
City.
Hall
and
have
my
accreditation
manager
work
with
our
HR
director
to
have
that
system
pull
over
here.
So
we
get
all
the
policies
out
to
our
people.
Do
training
everything
will
be
electronic
sign
off.
So
it's
a
great
way
just
keep
people
up
to
date
on
the
policies,
and
you
know
keep
that
culture
strong
with
what
our
policies
and
rules
so
we're
asking
for
your
approval
of
these
policies.
B
G
One
of
the
questions
that
I
had
how
we're
going
to
form
the
employers
in
your
very
incident.
The
only
recommendation
that
I
have
is
when
they
do
the
monthly
safety
meetings.
It
just
told
them
that
we
don't
have
new
rules,
though
that
gives
up
being
the
rules
have
been
updated
and
they
will
be
available
to
them
on
the
computer
system
or
as
a
hard,
tough
yeah.
B
I
mean
it's
a
lot
of
ways
with
the
power
DMS
system.
We
will
implement
it's
going
to.
You
know
this
whole
training
module
goes
up.
We
will
put
that
out
to
everyone
and
everyone's
got
to
sign
off
on
it.
Now
it
will
become
a
way
of
doing
things,
but
it's
a
great
system
and
I
look
forward
to
getting
it
up
and
running
over
here.
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
Man.
