Description
Regular Session
A
Okay,
this
last
week
was
kind
of
an
emotional
week
in
some
regards
and
I
appreciate
your
words
about
divisiveness
and
I'm,
not
sure
how
many
of
y'all
had
the
opportunity
and
I
would
call
it
actually
after
viewing
at
the
privilege
of
seeing
the
McCain
funeral
and
how
Megan
spoke
about
her
dad
and
her
relationship
with
her
father,
but,
more
importantly,
I
felt
the
passion
and
anger
that
she
was
speaking.
Her
dad
was
speaking
through
her
with
regards
to
these
particular
issues
that
were
confronted
with
today
and
I.
A
A
So
what
I
would
ask
is
that
for
those
of
you
who
have
any
concern
for
the
future
of
our
direction
and
what
was
brought
up
a
number
of
times
was
the
more
the
words
moral
courage,
moral
obligation
and,
as
we
sometimes
say,
moral
compass,
so
look
at
thin
your
souls
and
decide
where
you
feel
we
need
to
be
heading
in
the
future.
That
would
be
my
statement
for
today
and
lastly,
only
a
month
ago,
four
bolts.
B
Good
evening,
mayor
and
commissioners
need
approach,
901,
Bayshore
Drive
in
the
80s
and
the
90s
mayor.
We
always
had
a
yearly
report
on
all
the
bridges
and
tarpon
springs
with
a
structure
safety.
The
one
at
the
end
of
Martin,
Luther,
King
capital,
Powell,
bridge
I,
know
the
one
at
the
Yacht
Club,
that's
County,
and
the
one
at
the
alight
on
alternate
19
at
Pappas
restaurant.
B
Friday
I
saw
a
big
trailer,
pulling
heavy
equipment.
We
had
to
stop
to
let
them
get
over
the
bridge.
It
was
so
wide
and
so
heavy
and
it
used
to
be
that
we
asked
the
school
buses
to
come
down
mirrors
to
get
to
the
schools
for
the
safety
after
I
got
out
of
office.
That
stopped
I,
don't
know
what
happened,
but
we
need
to
have
a
structure
engineering
to
make
sure
those
bridges
can
handle.
All
of
this
and
I
can
guarantee
you.
B
It
has
to
be
studied
and
looked
at,
but
we
really
need
to
take
a
look
at
those
bridges
because
there's
been
too
many
collapse
bridges
this
past
year
and
I
know
for
myself
the
Martin,
the
kettle
pal
bridge
cars
have
to
stop
on
it
because
the
traffic
has
gotten
so
heavy
around
Riverside.
So
please
look
at
the
structural
aspect
of
these
bridges
and
let's
give
a
report
to
the
citizens,
so
everyone
will
will
feel
safe
and
let's
look
at
the
issue
of
the
school
buses
going
over
them
and
make
sure
that
it
is
enforced.
C
C
Creating
a
welcoming
and
inclusive
place
spaces
for
students
for
all
backgrounds
to
learn
together
and
what
else
libraries
are
constantly
transforming
and
expanding
their
services
to
meet
any
the
communities
they
serve
and
whereas
libraries
promote
quick
equity,
making
digital
technologies
and
information
equality
accessible
to
all
and
now.
Therefore,
I
chrysalis
losses
by
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
in
me
as
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs,

By
joining
together.
E
C
F
Thank
You
honorable
mayor
board,
commissioners
I'm
gonna,
try
and
go
through
this
as
quick
as
I
can
and
know.
We've
talked
about
this
issue
before,
but
if
I
don't
get
through
at
10
minutes,
the
city
of
marriage
is
gonna,
start
wearing
at
me,
so
we'll
roll
through
it
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
feel
free
to
stop
me
along
the
way.
So
we
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
homeless
outreach
efforts.
Kind
of
some
of
our
strategies
that
we
use
for
the
homeless
within
our
city
starts
off
real
quick
with
our
mission.
F
Basically
reduce
crime
enhance
quality
of
life
through
cooperative
partnership
with
the
community.
Our
mindset
we
know
being
homeless
is
not
a
crime.
Some
homeless
individuals
choose
this
lifestyle.
We
know
it's
a
choice,
identifying
utilizing
resources
outside
of
just
incarceration
general
public
perceptions
and
honor
with
realistic
expectations
and
addressing
the
issues
that
arise
in
professional
matter
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
the
individuals
and
other
residents
of
the
city
understanding.
There
are
multiple
reasons
for
homeless
situation.
F
We've
kind
of
gone
over
this
before
we
know:
lack
of
housing,
poverty,
addiction,
alcohol,
drugs,
mental
illness
or
the
biggies
domestic
violence,
chronic
health
issues
understand
there
are
multiple
issues
for
the
homeless
situation
include
again:
mental
health,
physical
health,
schulter
food
clothing,
employment
identification,
our
mindset,
knowing
there's
a
variety
of
reasons
and
issues.
It's
understood
that
there's
just
one
way,
there's
not
just
one
way
to
deal
with
things:
Police
Department
can
not
simply
enforce
the
problem
away.
I
kind
of
talked
about
this.
You
really
can't
arrest
your
way
out
of
this
situation.
F
You
really
have
to
have
a
multi-pronged
approach.
You
really
got
to
kind
of
start
thinking
outside
of
the
box.
That's
why
we
work
with
all
of
our
partners.
We
have
a
homeless
outreach
officer,
but
with
saying
that
arrest
is
still
one
of
the
strategies
that
we
have
to
use,
especially
for
the
chronics,
the
ones
that
cause
the
problems
for
our
business
community
and
or
committing
crimes
that
definitely
pose
a
problem
community.
We
do
not
turn
our
heads
on
that.
We
do
arrest
chronic
homeless
persons.
F
These
are
the
ones
that
we
tend
to
have
the
most
issues
with
I.
Don't
really
have
a
number
of
a
percentage
of
how
much
they
are.
You
know
you
could
look
at
five
to
ten
percent
of
the
total
homeless
population.
That's
just
kind
of
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
you
know
these
are
the
folks
that
are
causing
us
the
problems.
These
are
the
folks.
We
see
annoying
our
business
patrons.
These
are
the
folks.
F
We
see
that
have
open
alcohol,
they
Panhandle
they
can
make
a
lot
of
those
violations
that
you
see
they're
what
we
call
common
violations
that
you
know
that
will
arrest
them
for
have
to
deal
with
them
on,
but
again,
these
are
the
people
that
really
cause
the
problems:
accountability,
vers
assistance.
We
believe
it
requires
a
balanced
personal
responsibility,
accountability
for
behavior
in
the
community
and
we've
started
to
kind
of
work.
You
know
we
have
a
homeless
homeless
outreach
officer.
We've
made
approximately
350
placements
over
the
last
three
and
a
half
years.
F
That's
a
lot
of
placements!
That's
actually
getting
people
off
the
street,
as
you
know,
and
into
programs
that
will
help
address.
You
know
one
of
those
reasons
why
they're
homeless,
whether
it
be
drug
abuse,
alcohol
abuse
or
mental
illness,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
really
started
to
and
we
ready
had
a
meeting
with
the
city
manager
and
some
of
our
you
know,
folks,
in
the
community
that
provides
services
to
the
homeless.
F
We
have
a
very
good
working
relationship
with
them,
but
we
feel
that
you
know
some
of
these
programs
need
to
have
some
accountability
and
teeth,
and
you
know
we're
feeding
people
over
and
over
again,
then
they're
going
out
in
the
community
and
causing
problems.
We
really
need
to
take
a
look
at
that.
You
know
the
bottom
line
is
if
you're
coming
here
to
get
services
and
your
cars
and
problems
in
the
community
either
you
go,
get
help
or
you're
going
to
get
arrested
or
something's
going
to
happen.
F
Currently,
as
you
know,
we
have
a
homeless
outreach
officer.
I,
have
one
officer
assigned
pretty
much
full-time
to
work
with
these
homeless
individuals
and
again
the
chronic
really
aren't
the
ones
going
for
help.
It's
more.
You
know
people
that
become
homeless
and
they,
you
know,
the
officer
establish,
is
a
good
rapport
with
them,
and
you
know
we
get
them
into
programs
that
can
address
their
issues.
So
we've
been
we've
been
pretty
successful
with
that
over
the
I
always
say
with
you
know:
there'd
be
a
lot
more
people
on
the
street.
F
If
it
wasn't
for
this
program,
they
would
you
know
our
downtown
and
Sponge
Docks
area
would
definitely
have
more
of
a
presence
of
individuals
that
you
know
fit
this
category.
Some
of
our
methods.
Again,
you
know
we
look.
We
look
to
think
outside
the
box.
We
look
to
kind
of
have
a
holistic
approach.
We've
already
had
70%
of
our
officers
that
had
the
crisis
intervention,
training
I
deals
with
mental
health
issues.
We
can
we're
going
to
continue
to
send
all
those
officers
sugus
training.
F
We
have
rightt
training
for
officers
again
all
along
the
lines
of
how
to
deal
with
people
addressing
issues
of
mental
health.
Patrol
officers
have
the
highest
rate
of
contact
with
homeless.
Population
cannot
and
can
connect
with
them
can
connect
them.
I'm,
sorry,
we're
homeless,
outreach
officer,
that's
one
of
the
things
again
officers
working
with
the
homeless
outreach
officer
trying
to
get
these
people
into
programs
that
can
help
them
address
to
me
it
needs
a
safety,
bright
crisis
intervention
so
on
and
so
forth.
F
Partnership
brog
essentials
for
basic
living
and
resources.
We
have
partners
in
the
community,
we
know
the
churches,
we
know
the
Shepherd
Center
Pinellas
hope
you
know
again,
services
that
expand
out
through
the
through
the
county,
but
we've
been
very
successful,
working
with
the
Shepherd
Center
and
working
with
our
partners
to
try
and
address
these
issues,
and
recently
we,
you
know
start
really
talking
them
more
about.
F
We
need
to
really
have
some
more
accountability
for
some
of
the
chronic
sever,
causing
problems
and
they're
coming
to
our
city
or
they're,
coming
to
the
churches
for
services,
but
really
not
holy
I'm
accountable
for
their
behavior
in
the
community.
So
we're
really
starting
to
focus
on
Magus
you
and
I
and
I
believe
our
partners
are
listening
and
I'm
sure
they'll
have
their
input
on
that
too.
Three
C's
again
contact
collaborate,
communicate,
that's
kind
of
big.
You
know
again.
We
want
to
get
these
people
into
programs
that
help
them
the
arrest
process.
F
F
So,
basically,
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
look
to
do
beyond
the
rest
and
prosecute
working
with
our
community
partners,
working
with
the
homeless
outreach
officer
and
again
that
the
leg
has
really
been,
and
city
manager
headed
up
that
meaning.
You
know
to
really
start
looking
at
accountability
for
some
of
these
small
percentage
of
people
that
they
serve.
F
That
really
are
causing
problems,
they're
really
not
being
held
accountable
and-
and
we
know
that
you
know
the
the
Shepherd
Center
and
some
of
the
folks
that
we
had
in
that
meeting,
really
started
to
listen
to
us
and
you
know,
engage
in
some
good
feedback
with
us
about.
You
know
how
we
can
start
doing
this
amongst
all
the
sentence,
because
the
goal
is
not
to
arrest,
but
the
goal
is
to
say:
hey,
look
you're,
causing
problems
in
the
community.
F
You
need
to
go,
get
help
you
need
to
hook
up
with
our
services
where
you
need
to
hook
up
with
the
homeless
outreach
officer,
because,
if
not
you're,
just
gonna
get
arrested
over
and
over
again.
So
that's
the
issue
we're
trying
to
work
with
a
little
better
on
with
our
service
providers.
Again
we
talked
about
our
movement.
You
know
some
of
the
things
we've
done.
You
know
we
one
of
the
biggest
things
are
trespass
law.
F
Ization
many
of
you
heard
is
a
lot
of
misinformation
that
went
on
about
a
recent
Walmart
property
in
one
of
our
service
providers
called
me.
We
had
a
very
good
productive
conversation
about
it,
but
basically
we
went
out
there
on
a
fire
and
there
was
some
homeless
camps
on
on
the
Walmart
property
and
the
property
owner
didn't
want
the
camps
out
there
anymore,
so
we
gave
them
warning
not
to
come
back
there.
F
Basically,
with
you
know
what
happened
with
the
real
facts
of
that
situation
was
in
the
future
again
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
do:
working
with
city,
marriage
or
working
with
our
service
providers.
We
really
feel
that
last
leg
of
the
table
is
accountability.
You
know,
for
those
small
percentage
that
or
gain
service
here
that
are
not
trying
to
get
themselves
help
and
are
causing
problems
in
the
community.
So
you
know
with
that.
That's
kind
of
an
overview
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
glad
to
answer
them.
F
G
You
Thank
You
chief
for
bringing
this
back
to
us.
I
know.
I
had
originally
had
this
on
the
agenda
a
month
or
so
ago,
and
and
I
appreciate
everybody
that
came
out
that
evening
and
thank
you
again
for
being
here
who's
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
this
issue.
I
do
hope
that
the
city
manager
had
said
that
he
met
with
some
of
our
organizations
here
in
town.
You
met
with
them.
Were
you
there
as
well
chief
or
do
we
have
our
homeless
outreach
officer.
F
G
G
Major
trail
come
up
and
he
gave
us
a
12-month
study
of,
but
as
they
beefed
up
patrols,
how
chrome
so
you
know
I
still
wondered
about
beefing
up
control
and
in
some
of
the
problem
areas
with
with
the
some
of
the
chronic
homeless
people
that
live
in
our
bandshell
down
at
the
docks
or
downtown.
You
know
some
of
the
business
owners
on
their
property.
So
I
don't
know
again,
I'll
ask
again
if
foot
patrol
is
is,
do
you
think
it's
necessary
we're.
F
Doing
it,
you
are
bike.
Patrol
foot
patrol,
that's
always
been
a
part
of
our
strategy,
especially
downtown,
even
more
of
a
presence.
Now
you
know
we
gained
downtown
you're,
not
really
having
a
big
problem
with
solicitation.
The
docks
I
mean
there
are
issues
down
there,
but
it
tends
to
be
mostly
downtown
by
Craig
Park,
but
our
patrols
are
directly
patrolling.
There
definitely
increase
in
those
areas.
Okay,.
F
G
G
F
I
mean
it
depends
on
circumstances
most
of
that
stuff.
You're
talking
about
this
week
on
that
would
be
state
statutes.
We
also
have
ordinances
for
open
alcohol,
panhandling
solicitation,
but
you
know
it
just
depends
on
what's
going
on
with
the
facts
of
the
situation
are,
but
you
know
if
they
find
them
to
be
in
violation
of
one
of
these
ordinances,
like
anybody
else,
you're
also
going
to
make
a
decision
whether
or
not
to
take
them
into
custody
or
charge
them
with
ordinance
violation
or
state
crime,
because.
F
One
of
the
biggest
things
that
we
work
on
with
the
shopping
centers
is
trespass
authorization.
So
a
lot
of
times.
We
have
that.
You
know
I
kind
of
call
it
the
show
game
because
we're
trespassing
them
from
Publix
and
they
go
over
to
Walmart.
Then
we
trespass
them
from
there
and
then
over
over
to
an
you
know.
So
we're
constantly
you
know
trespassing
and
then
it
catches
up
with
them
when
they
go
to
an
area
where
they're
not
supposed
to
be,
then
we
end
up
arresting
them.
So.
G
F
G
G
G
H
E
Our
city
manager
and
our
providers
for
working
together
over
the
past
two
months,
like
I,
said
before
you
know
we're
finding
two
different
things
here:
vagrant
almost
people
I,
don't
think
they
are
the
same
and
two
to
help
we're
never
going
to
solve
a
currency
but
to
help
reduce
it.
I
it's
gonna,
it's
gonna,
take
like
I,
like,
like
we've,
said
every
little
working
working
together.
You
know
I
do
believe
they
are
coming
here
for
services
outside
the
community
and
that's
just
common
sense.
E
E
So
I
would
hope
that
you
know
what
you
mentioned
about
immediately:
providers
wanting
one
and
two
to
two
to
cooperate
for
those
that
are
causing
problems
will
happen
and
I
and
I
believe
it
will
from
Mike
promise
tickets
with
them,
and
oh
and
oh
and
most
of
them
I
know
I
know
they
they
they
they.
They
don't
want
to
waste
their
scarce
resources
on
people
that
are
causing
problems.
So
that's
something
that
I
I
I
I
I
I
have
opened
out
that
will
get
that
will
get
reduced.
E
You
know,
but
one
thing
I
think
you
know
I'll
just
be
the
one
to
say
it
is
there's
that
in
between
then
there's
the
people
that
you
know
are
vagrants
that
that
we've
talked
about
that
are
causing
problems
that
we
all
agree
need
need
need
to
go.
You
have
the
true
homeless,
those
in
need
in
our
community
that
with
that
we
must
take
care
of
the
families,
and
then
you
have
those
in-between,
they're,
just
homeless
chronically,
maybe
not
causing
problems
per
se
they're.
E
Just
in
my,
in
my
opinion,
that
they're
still
abusing
services-
that's
not
something
we
as
the
city
caucus
and
regularly
isn't
there
that
they're
not
committing
a
crime,
but
that's
something
I
ask
our
providers.
You
know
when
I
get
my
coffee
in
the
morning
off
hibiscus
tree
when
it's
the
morning
for
the
Greek
Church
to
do
that.
Do
the
feeding
they
are
lined
up
at
8:30
in
the
morning
and
the
majority
to
them.
That
would
be
the
majority
I
see
coming
on
bikes
or
ones.
E
I
see
every
single
week
when
the
one
of
them
is
a
lady
I
tried
to
help
her,
though
for
two
years,
and
she
just
wanting
the
help.
So
I
don't
have
the
answer
to
that
I'm,
not
an
expert
in
homeless
services,
but
I
asked
her
providers
as
they're
partnering
with
it
would
be
City
to
work
with
those
to
lessen
those
that
are
causing
problems.
We
also
you
know.
E
I
would
encourage
you
to
not
focus
your
your-your-your
scarce
resources
on
those
that
are
chronically
there,
that
don't
wish
to
better
themselves,
and
you
know
I'm
always
in
favor
of,
but
my
church
does
overestimate
nature's.
We
don't
have
a
soup
kitchen,
we
have
a
very
robust
food,
pantry,
that's
very
organized
if
families
come
in
need
to
get
their
food
in
a
very
private
and
a
very,
a
very,
a
very
a
dignified
fashion.
So
those
are
my
thoughts
on
the
matter.
I
Mayor
chief
thanks
for
the
update,
obviously
this
is
a
sensitive
subject
throughout
tarpon
springs,
as
you
can
see,
there's
been
a
lot
of
information
going
around
for
the
past
couple
months.
Thank
you
for
talking
about
the
increasing
of
patrol
and
the
chronic
areas.
I
think
that's
an
important
step
to
take
overall,
a
couple
things
that
stuck
out
to
me
and
your
presentation
is
being
homeless,
has
done
a
crime.
I
completely
agree
with
that.
Just
like
driving
I'm
19
is
not
a
crime.
Just
like
driving
down.
I
Tarpon
Ave
isn't
a
crime,
but
if
I'm
going
60
down
tarpon
Ave,
what
imagine
we
get
tagged
pretty
quick
by
an
officer
and
ticketed?
So
it
is
important
to
find
these
individuals
that
are
chronic
and
trespassing
and
making
sure
that
it
is
a
crime
what
they're
doing
and
that
it's
not
gonna
be
accepted
in
Tarpon
Springs
if
you're
approaching
people
leaving
panera,
if
you're
doing
unappropriate
things
in
downtown
or
in
the
parks
or
drug
paraphernalia.
So
thank
you
for
the
update
on
the
people
are
around
I
know.
I
I
Sorry
winn-dixie
parking
lot
and
I
had
an
individual
second
time
he's
approached
me
and
he
asked
for
it's
very
specific
yes
for
sixteen
fifty,
so
he
could
buy
a
room
for
the
night
and
I
didn't
ask
him
where
he
could
buy
a
room
for
that
rate,
but
it
was
very,
he
was
very
direct,
the
exact
amount
of
money
that
he
need,
and
it's
the
second
time
he's
asked
me
for
it
and
he's
he
rides
it
like
a
like
a
three
wheeler
he's
in
his
late
fifties.
Early
sixties
and
I
don't
carry
cash.
I
It
just
it
was
alerting
and
I
asked
where
he
came
from.
He
said
I'm
coming
from
Dunedin
and
another
young
man
he's
in
my
neighborhood
on
Saturday
morning.
He
was
walking
the
streets
and
I
was
walking
my
dog
and
he
said,
can
I
join.
You
I,
said
sure,
and
he's
asking
for
money
again
to
find
a
place
to
stay
for
the
night
and
he
very
specific
asked
for
$12.50,
which
I
thought
was
kind
of
odd
and
I
asked
him.
I
Were
you
trying
to
stay,
and
he
mentioned
a
couple
places
that
he's
trying
to
say
so
he
was
down
the
neighborhood's.
He
was
trying
to
find
work,
nothing
against
it.
I
respect,
he's
trying
to
find
work
and
then
there's
another
family.
Again
he
came
from
New
Port
Richey.
He
wasn't
from
Tarpon
Springs
again
there
was
another
family
at
Publix
that
I
approached
and
talked
to,
and
let
him
know
about
some
assistance
in
town
and
asked
him
what's
going
on.
Why
are
you
like?
Why
are
you
in
the
situation?
You
have
a
job?
I
Do
you
need
a
job,
my
company's
hiring
if
you're
interested
the
the
young
lady
had
a
job,
he
was
wearing
workman's
comp
and
had
two
young
children
and
so
I?
Let
him
know
about
the
resources
that
were
going
that
were
available
here
in
Tarpon,
but
they
said
they
live
in
Clearwater.
So
that
was
just
three
examples
that
I
personally
came
into
account
with
it.
Wasn't
that
I
went
out
and
tried
to
find
these
people,
it
was
just
an
interesting
that
I
know
the
last
meeting.
I
F
I
Thanks
so
with
that,
I
do
I.
Do
completely
agree
with
what
the
other
commissioners
and
mayor
has
mentioned,
and
what
you've
mentioned
is
talking
about
how
to
compete,
a
community
effort
with
the
organizations
and
the
police
department
looking
at
the
chronic
homelessness
and
how
we
could
help
again
I
fully
support.
I
We've
got
a
lot
of
families
at
our
single
parent
with
only
a
couple
kids
in
Tarpon
Springs,
but
it's
hard
for
them
to
go
out
and
ask
for
help
because
prideful
with
situations
or
whatever
may
be-
and
that's
that's
really
where
my
heart
breaks.
When
I
see
the
widows
and
I
see
the
the
children
that
are
hungry
because
of
that
and
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
to.
I
C
You
thank
you
chief
I,
want
to
thank
you
again
for
the
update
and
I'll
express
my
gratitude
to
our
police
officers
for
doing
an
excellent
job.
Keeping
our
community
safe
homeless
is
a
situation
that
it's
not
only
in
Tarpon
Springs,
but
it's
in
every
every
city
in
the
county
in
the
state.
It's
actually
an
international
issue,
as
I
said
before,
our
community
is
very,
very
generous.
C
We
have
the
churches
that
they're
providing
our
meals
every
day
and,
of
course,
with
the
good
people
we
also
get
is
some
people
that
creating
some
problems
downtown-
and
this
is
a
very
unfortunate
but
I
know
the
police
department
is
working
very
hard
right.
You
are
to
control
these
situations,
I'm
very
glad
that
the
city
manager
and
yourself
and
you
were
able
to
meet
with
the
providers
and
have
creating
a
good
working
relationship
and
getting
their
cooperation,
because
this
is
going
to
be
a
community
effort.
C
It's
not
going
to
be
just
for
the
police
Barban
or
just
for
some
people,
but
we
have
to
work
together
and
what
I'm
asking
is
when
the
church
is,
when
the
providers
providing
the
hot
meal,
they
need
to
approach
the
the
people
that
they
serve
and
it
tell
them
that,
yes,
we
provide
you
this
meal
today,
which
is
good.
This
is
the
humane
thing
to
do,
but
also
there
is
help
out
there.
We
can
provide
you
with
help.
C
Let
me
let's
take
you
to
an
agency
that
could
provide
you
in
the
service
where
you
can
actually
get
a
healthcare,
these
medicines,
that
you
medicine,
that
you
need
now
you
can
get
housing.
You
get
a
job
and
learn
how
to
complete
an
application
and
be
a
productive
in
the
society.
So
we
do
have
the
agencies
that
actually
can
provide
the
services
and
I
can
mention
some
of
the
agencies
that
actually
provide
an
excellent
service,
which
is
the
a
Piniella
safe
harbor.
C
This
is
an
emergency
homeless,
shelter
to
provide
the
providing
services
to
anyone,
including
parents,
drug
and
alcohol
abusers.
They
open
24
hours,
the
pinellas
hoped
the
providing
service,
including
health,
and
they
help
me
people
to
apply
jobs
and
counseling
and
they're,
providing
hard
meals
every
day
directions
of
living
to
providing
health
services.
The
admit,
VA,
the
Veterans
Administration,
to
provide
medical
and
benefits
the
YMCA,
the
providing
services
for
families
and
children.
C
The
religious
community
services
have
provided
services
for
domestic
violence
and
dictions
and
mental
health,
so
they
are,
it
is
help
out
there,
but
we
need
to
convince
these
people.
They
need
to
help
to
get
the
help
that
they
need,
because
that
should
be
the
goal
for
every
not
just
to
give
him
the
meal
for
the
day,
because
they
wish
you
continue
doing
them,
but
also
the
heaven
for
the
future
and
I
would
thank
you
for
everything.
The
police
department
is
doing
well
also.
E
F
They're
doing
most
of
those
services
were
homeless,
outreach
officer,
he
visits
the
you
know
the
providers,
they
you
know
that
that's
us
put
out
there.
The
issue
is
with
the
chronics
the
issues
with
the
chronics,
getting
them
either
help
or
getting
them
some
other
alternative,
because
they're,
the
ones
that
were
really
causing
the
problem
in
the
community
and
that's
the
whole
thing.
You
know
the
whole.
That's
the
next
step
we're
trying
to
take
with
the
provider
so
and.
C
I
think
having
these
great
cooperation
from
the
providers
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very,
very
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
I
like
not
to
go
to
the
public
comments.
If
anybody
wants
to
say
something
or
if
anybody
has
any
public
comments,
please
come
forward
come
to
the
podium
snitch
attending
your
address
for
the
record,
you
begin
four
minutes.
J
My
name
is
Kathleen
Molson
and
I
live
on
grace
Avenue.
My
concern
is
the
library
with
the
homeless
sitting
outside
and
this
smoking,
and
it's
almost
it's.
It's
not
a
nice
place
to
get
into
once.
You're
there,
it's
a
wonderful
thing,
but
you
have
to
go
through
the
homeless
people
in
order
to
get
into
the
library.
I
spoke
with
the
girl
that
was
up
earlier
and
she
said
that
she
would
look
into
it.
J
However,
if
there
could
be
cameras
on
the
outside,
so
that
people
would
feel
safe,
not
only
you
know
walking
into
when
you
walk
into
the
library,
they
have
cameras
in
the
back,
but
the
front
is
the
area
where
the
homeless
people
feel
more
comfortable
sitting
for
long
periods
of
time
even
all
day
yeah.
So
you
know-
and
they
do
sometimes
come
up
and
ask
you
for
a
cigarette,
you
know.
Can
you
give
me
something
you
know
for
money,
children?
J
K
Hi,
my
name
is
a
total
gaze
and
I'm
from
the
Shepherd
Center
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
we
are
working
with
people
and
we
are
working
with
those
organizations
and
we
are
providing
those
services
that
you
did
mention
and
we
are
also
working
with
other
organizations
in
order
to
deal
with
the
situation
with
the
chronic
homeless.
We
have
been
meeting.
K
This
is
our
third
meeting
and
we
will
get
in
touch
with.
We
just
want
to
have
a
bigger
meeting
to
analyze
everything
where
we
will
invite
certain
community
people,
of
course,
the
city
manager
and
the
chief
to
to
bring
what
we
have
put
together
and
our
suggestions
as
to
how
we're
going
to
try
to
help
resolve
this
now.
I
just
want
to
state
that
the
vice
mayor,
mr.
K
panther,
you,
you
said
something
about
all
of
us,
working
together
and
I,
just
want
to
ask:
how
do
we
work
together
in
a
community
that
has
in
our
city
that
has
a
website
that
just
puts
our
community
down
constantly
and
that
who
knows
who's
involved?
I
mean
could
be
in
your
own
office.
That
knows
about
this
website.
K
That's
making
our
mayor
and
our
city
look
really
bad,
so
I
don't
understand
how
we
work
together
on
that
okay
and
the
people,
maybe
here
in
this
room,
you
know
right
now
the
people
that
have
put
up
this
horrible
website
and
I'm
sure
that
everybody
has
seen
it
that
is
sitting
on
your
chairs.
So
how
do
we
work
together?
How
does
the
community
work
together
when
these
people
are
putting
our
community
down?
And
you
know
it's
funny
for
the
Shepherd
Center,
they
put
a
a
Bible
verse,
Jeremiah
23,
one
which
literally
I
mean.
K
Apparently
they
don't
understand
the
meaning
of
that
verse
and
they
should
read
verse
two,
but
that's
what
I
wanted
to
say.
I'm
just
saying
you
know
we
have
our
community
we're
all
trying
to
work
together
and
I
am
just
disgusted
with
what's
going
on
with
people
in
our
city
and
people
that
are
saying
that
work
together.
Let's
do
this
together,
but
they're
the
ones
that
are
destroying
our
city,
not
the
homeless.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Good
evening
Peter
lakhs
501
for
Ashland
Avenue,
it's
interesting.
The
lady
mentioned
this
website.
Somebody
had
sent
me
a
link
to
it.
Tarpon
tourism,
calm,
I,
think,
is
what
it's
called.
So,
let's
put
it
out
in
the
open.
So
if
people
want
to
see
what
this
is
about
and
from
what
I
understand,
I
didn't
go
onto
it.
It's
this
website
to
disparage
tarpon
and
such,
but
let's
get
back
to
the
basic
issue
of
what
we're
talking
about
here.
L
A
Is
not
a
new
problem?
I
remember
when
I
was
on
the
board.
We
had
all
the
downtown
merchants
coming
down
complaining
about
the
drink
in
the
urination,
the
panhandling
and
all
that,
and
then
we
put
the
bathrooms
and
then
issues
continue.
So
what
I'd
like
to
really
if
we've
had
all
these
meetings
and
these
groups
have
been
speaking
with
us
when
I
look
at
the
back
up,
one
of
the
things
I
had
curiosity
about
is
the
word
teeth
and
no
accountability
and
no
accountability
showing
up.
A
Well,
what
teeth
have
y'all
come
up
with
that
you
can
share?
The
only
thing
I
can
think
of
in
here
in
this
discussion
is
keeping
a
list
of
who
has
all
these
violations
and
then
giving
them
to
the
churches,
and
then,
when
that
person
shows
up
asking
them
for
an
ID
who
are
you
oh
well,
you're,
on
the
trespass
list?
You're
not
getting
food
today
is
that
the
behavior
modification
we
want
all
right,
no
food,
you
come
back
no
food,
so
your
behavior
doesn't
fit
the
Tarpan
mold.
You
need
to
move.
A
What
other
things
are
you
referring
to
as
far
as
how
to
create
this
accountability
and
I
see
a
lot
of
people
here,
I'm,
not
they're
here
for
the
zoning
meeting
or
if
they're
here
for
some
of
this
but
I
see
mr.
Haddad
there.
Maybe
he
has
a
comment
to
share
with
us,
but
I
just
would
like
to
hear
what
some
of
these
ideas
for
the
accountability
and
teeth
that
were
brought
up
and
discussed.
A
M
Margot
Lizer
514,
Ashland,
Avenue,
I'm,
fairly
new
to
tarpon
springs
and
what
I
love
about
tarpon
springs
is
the
community
aspect
that
I've
experienced
as
I've
been
here,
and
you
know
Peter
told
me
the
story
of
mother
Mears,
how
she
grew
the
garden
and
shared
that
with
the
community,
and
we
have
that
big
mural
down
downtown.
That
reflects
that.
M
We
who
live
in
Tarpon
are
called
to
serve
our
neighbors
to
fill
the
cups
of
the
thirsty,
the
plates
of
the
hungry
and
the
hearts
of
the
lonely.
It
is
our
charge
to
watch
over
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
within
our
community,
the
homeless,
the
children,
the
elderly,
the
immigrants
we
are
in
charge.
You
guys
are
in
charge
of
them.
We
that's
your
responsibility,
you
took
it
on
so
in
doing
so,
you
will
find
that
those
that
wants
for
strangers
have
become
guests
and
those
guests
have
become
friends.
M
C
E
Thank
you.
This
is
a
responsibility
from
the
she
talked
about.
You
know
working
together.
How
is
a
website
that
until
now,
I
have
refused
to
mention
in
public
to
even
dignify
that
that
piece
of
trash,
how
is
it
working
together
working
together,
is
not
ma'am
well,
what
you
did
at
the
podium
working
together
is
what
has
been
done
over
the
past
two
months
with
our
city
manager,
our
chief
of
police
and
other
providers
inside
this
room
that
are
meant
to
find
these
solutions.
E
The
problems
that
we
all
bet
that
we
all
agree
exist
and
what's
further
disgusting,
is
to
imply
that
myself
or
any
member
of
this
board
by
it
by
referencing
in
your
office
as
a
bar
of
that
disgusting
website,
that
only
marked
people
on
this
board,
including
myself
and
also
sheds
horrible
light
on
this
city
and
then
mocks
people
and
their
multiple
and
at
their
most
at
their
most
of
you
know.
Vulnerable
spot
is
absolutely
disgusting
and
I
took
personal
offense
to
that
and
I
can
guarantee
you.
Nobody
on
this
board
or
city
staff.
E
C
You
well
I,
wasn't
really
going
to
talk
about
the
website,
but
since
she
was
brought
up
by
two
different
citizens
and
the
vice
mayor,
I
like
to
say
there
and
I
agree
with
you.
Mr.
vice
mayor,
there's
a
piece
of
trash
I
agree
with
you
100%,
fortunately,
we'll
have
this
kind
of
a
people.
Thank
God.
It's
only
few
this
website,
not
only
the
only
thing
it
does
is
it
has
negative
promotion
to
the
city.
C
C
You
cannot
hide
behind
a
website
or
behind
the
proxy
or
any
organization.
This
is
a
Cour
act
until
these
people
have
the
decency
to
identify
themselves,
I,
don't
think
that's
worth
not
even
talking
about
it.
I
have
no
comment,
but
I
repeat
what
the
Vice
mirror
says.
This
is
piece
of
trash.
Thank
you.
N
N
There
again,
we've
only
been
two
months
into
the
process
and
we're
happy
for
the
most
part
until
we
got
into
something
I'm
not
going
to
we're
moving
forward
or
positive,
maybe
I'm
immune
to
it,
because
I
had
30
years
of
law
enforcement,
but
it
doesn't
matter
what
you
do
or
what
you
try
to
do.
There's
gonna
be
hate
out
there.
N
There's
gonna
be
ignorant
out
there,
there's
gonna
be
attack,
I
mean
it
doesn't
matter
what
issue
it
is
that's
going
to
be
out
there,
especially
when
you
got
an
age
of
social
media
and
people
can
be
very
brave.
It's
gonna
be
out
there.
You
deal
with
that.
Even
before
that,
how
you
work
together
is
you
you
ignore,
and
you
fight
through,
that
there's
no
effect
on
how
we're
gonna
work
things,
but
again,
I
may
be
out
around
too
long
any
issue
any
time
any
place.
N
You
know
the
good
people
we
got
so
many
around
the
table
that
I've
talked
to
all
the
group
out
of
Ronald.
We
got
so
many
good
people
that
do
good.
You
know
there's
no
need
to
recognize
those
people
are
awful,
no
need
to
recognize
them.
You
move
on
you
ignore
them
and
you
go
about
doing
your
business
to
do
the
best
you
can
for
the
citizens
in
the
community
I'm
very
happy
with
the
cooperation
we
had
so
far
as
we
get
to
the
point
and
we
get
further
into
the
nuts
and
bolts.
That's
the
updates.
N
So
we
have
that,
because
again,
knowing
from
when
I
did
that
what
the
chief
didn't
before
to
lump
all
the
problems
going
to
simply
homeless
is
not,
and
one
of
the
things
you
said
about
is
identifying
those
people,
so
we
are
working
on
some
technology
again
we're
only
two
months.
We
made
great
progress
in
two
months
and
all
the
things
you
say
in
the
continuing
problems,
work
on
we're
working
very
positively.
N
We've
got
a
great
group
of
people
and
organizations
who
have
been
positive
and
are
working
with
us,
and
the
dialogue
is
going
to
keep
coming
to
you
and
we
will
keep
you
you
periodic
updates
of
that
progress.
We
get
working
with
the
people
who
care
and
ignoring
the
people
who
are
just
going
to
be
out
there,
because
that's
the
way
the
world
is.
C
Thank
you,

I
Have
a
comment
on
number
six
or
six:
okay.
I
know
we're
not
looking
past
January
19
right
now,
but
if
we
could
look
at
meetings
after
holidays
similar
to
like
this
one,
when
city
staff's,
maybe
not
available
on
a
Monday,
it
makes
a
little
more
difficult
to
get.
Some
questions
answered
and
I
know
they're,
typically
not
large
agendas
to.
But
if
we
could
look
at
those
meetings
and
hopefully
avoid
these
types
of
meetings
rather
all
day
it
possible
for
2019,
we've
got
a
further
discussion
later
on
thanks.
C
N
L
As
you
can
see
from
your
back
up
for
the
last
almost
two
decades.
The
city
has
been
searching
for
ways
of
saving
money
and
while
providing
decent
services
to
its
employees,
its
included
stepping
down
plans,
year
after
year,
higher
co-pays
for
employees
to
pay
in
out-of-pocket
maximums.
We
recently
in
the
last
few
years
have
actually
redesigned
the
plan
from
a
straight
HMO
with
co-pays
only
to
what
we
call
a
PPO
/
EPO,
which
is
a
hybrid
term
for
a
hybrid
plan
which
has
both
co-pays
and
deductibles.
L
Some
of
the
drivers
cost
drivers
of
health
insurance,
our
plan,
size
and
demographics,
including
gender
and
age.
The
smaller
the
plan,
the
makeup
of
your
plan,
determines
some
of
the
ability
to
absorb
the
cost
increases
government
mandates,
mostly
unfunded
increased
costs.
There
was
what's
very
well
known
in
the
in
the
medical
field.
It's
called
medical
and
pharmaceutical
trend,
and
now
trend
is
a
percentage
that
is
used
to
predict
future
increases
in
health
care.
L
It
includes
such
things
as
advanced
technology,
leading
to
greater
utilization,
use
of
more
expensive
treatments
leading
to
our
lives
and
also
price
inflation.
And
lastly,
one
of
the
biggest
factors
is
what
we
call
loss
ratio.
It's
the
ratio
of
claims
paid
to
premiums
collected
that
quite
often
determines
what
what
your
increase
for
the
for
the
come
upcoming
year
will
be.
As
a
city
we
have
imposed
some
cost
controls,
the
best
being
early
intervention
and
utilization
reduction.
We
have
a
wellness
program
which
includes
PHAs,
which
your
personal
health
assessments
workshops,
newsletters
and
employee
assistance
program.
L
We
even
have
Weight
Watchers,
which
we're
currently
running
and
has
been
very
successful.
This
fall,
smoking,
cessation
and,
last
but
not
least,
the
well.
The
wellness
clinic
I
do
want
to
make
one
comment
about
this
year's
renewal.
It
has
to
do
with
on
ongoing
large
claims.
We've
had
ten
of
them
this
year.
Of
of
those,
ten,
only
three
have
been
incurred
by
employees
themselves.
L
The
rest
are
dependents
and
we
have
one
ongoing
pharmaceutical
or
pharmacy
claim
for
one
dependent
where
the
the
plan
has
paid
almost
three
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
and
that's
just
in
pharmacy
alone.
This
year
we
have
an
increase
of
six
percent,
which
is
slightly
below
the
average
for
the
for
the
municipalities
around
here,
which
is
in
in
view
of
what
our
experience
is
and
and
what
we
have
facing
us
in.
Our
large
claims
is
a
fairly
decent
renewal.
L
C
C
The
the
attachment
to
you
that
you
provided
to
us
to
show
is
that
some
of
the
cities
that
actually
are
their
percentage
is
much
lower
than
our
all
smartest
five
in
Ellis
Parker's,
2.7
seminoles,
four.
So
one
claim
that
one
large
claim
that
would
have
put
us
above
all.
That
is
that,
is
that
what
you
just
saying
it.
L
C
N
Biggest
message
to
do
it
is
changing
plans
which,
which
results
in
higher
co-pays
higher
in
payment
and
stuff
from
the
point,
that's
a
traditional
method
of
doing
it.
It's
very
easy.
We
you
know
we
could
offer
some
things
to
go
down,
but
you're
gonna
greatly
increase
the
cost,
the
co-pays
and
stuff
for
the
people.
That's
how
someone
achieved
this?
If
you
look
at
this
thing
again,
most
of
the
full-service
cities,
which
we
are
you
can
look
in
the
average,
we
even
be
different,
where
we
are
compared
to
them.
N
Well,
if
you
look
at
some
of
the
other
ones
again
in
the
one
city
at
the
Forest
Service,
the
Pinellas
Park,
they
look,
they
change
their
plan,
which
I
guarantee
when
we
study
and
we
look
at
it
and
stuff
they
downgraded
the
benefits
for
the
employees.
We
you
know
we
have
the
out.
We
would
have
the
option
to
do,
but-
and
if
you
be,
we
look
at
that.
One
of
the
things
we
look
at
is
is
the
other
cities
and
their
plans
and
the
cost.
N
But
you
have
to
look
at
what
are
the
benefits
for
your
employees
and
I?
Think
that's
where
we
exceed
and
keeping
it
even
with
these
high
claims.
I
can't
imagine
with
some
of
these
high
claims
we
got
if
we
didn't
have
the
system
that
we
had,
what
the
what
it
would
be,
especially
you
heard
the
farm
on
one
individual,
which
is
the
pharmacy
they
pay.
So
again,
when
you
look
at
the
other
cities,
what's
going
on
in
the
health
market,
were
we're
in
good
shape,
yeah.
N
Already
had
the
first
meeting
with
the
city
manager
of
oldsmar,
since
we
combined
with
the
clinic
and
we've
had
our
first
meet
to
talk
about
pretty
upcoming
year
stuff
we've
had
our
initial
introduction.
We
have
a
further
one
to
talk
jointly.
What
we
may
do
in
that
process,
though
so
the
first
meeting
has
already
been
held.
C
G
Just
you
know,
I
have
to
agree
with
vice
mayor
I.
Think
I'd
like
to
thank
you
Jane,
for
where
this
bring
this
forward
to
us
tonight,
but
I
would
like
to
see
us
go
out
to
bid
and
see
what
else.
Options
are
out
there,
because,
when
I
look
at
the
price
of
what
costs
for
individual
is
you
know
that
we're
picking
up
for
the
employee
I
know
out
there
in
the
private
sector?
That's
about
the
cost
that
some
people
are
paying
now
so
and
there's
a
copay
like
a
twenty
five
dollar
copay.
G
So
I
I
think
that
we
really
should
before
budget
next
year
is
go
out
for
bid
get
a
cup
get
a
couple
of
quotes,
I
used
to
sell
insurance,
so
it
doesn't
hurt
just
to
see
what's
out
there
and
anybody
would
be
happy.
You
know
they
would
love
the
business,
so
they
would
love
to
put
quotes
together.
Thank
you.
C
I
Mary,
thanks
for
the
update
on
this
and
your
hard
work
when
putting
it
together
for
us
each
year,
I
know
I
come
across
with
questions
that
probably
show
up
across
your
desk
that
are
somewhat
annoying
and
I
keep
being
the
pest.
But
thank
you
for
answering
those
and
it's
important
I,
think
for
the
the
residents
and
the
employees
know
that
they
do
have
a
really
good
health
care
plan.
I
One
of
the
struggles
that
we
struggle
with
countrywide
in
no
matter,
if
you
know
private
sector
in
the
government
or
wherever
it's
at,
is
rising
health
cost
and
it's
frustrating.
It's
never
a
fun
thing
to
pay,
but
it's
a
great
benefit
to
have
for
our
employees.
When
I,
look
at
the
$250
for
an
individual
calendar,
deductible,
that's
substantially
low
compared
to
what
I
have
or
what
I
had
in
my
private
sector
job.
I
What
my
wife
currently
has
in
her
private
sector
job
as
well,
it
we
may
not
pay
our
hourly
employees
top
dollar,
but
I
think
this
is
a
great
benefit
to
provide
to
our
employees,
especially
the
ones
that
are
don't
make
as
much
as
maybe
a
manager
or
someone.
That's
been
your
seasoned
potentially,
so
this
is
a
nice
benefit
overall
and
although
it
is
frustrating
to
see
the
cost
going
going
up,
it
is
encouraging
to
see
it's
not
as
high
as
some
of
the
other
ones.
I
I
would
go
along
to
say
what
vice
mayor
and
Commissioner
kick.
That
I
mentioned
that
we
look
at
a
bidding
process,
I'm,
always
open
for
looking
at
bidding
processes
and
all
aspects
of
business,
especially
if
we
could
save
money
in
an
environment
that
we're
gonna
see
most
likely
a
reduction
with
the
homestead
vote
coming
up
here
in
November.
So
another
thing
I've
got
a
question
for
you,
though,
is
the
pharmacy
plan,
and
we
could
talk
about
this
off
afterwards
and
I
would
like
to
have
some
more
information,
I'm
familiar
with
pharmaceuticals
and
how
it
works.
I
For
my
what
I
do
in
business
wise,
so
do
you
know
what
the
whack
is
for
our
pharmaceutical
plan,
because
I
know
you
mentioned
that
it's
whack
is
wholesale
acquisition
cost
and
typically,
with
a
pharmacy
plan,
you
have
whack
a
certain
percent
and
then
my
next.
So
do
you
know
what
that
is,
and
the
next
one
is.
Do
we
audit
what
we're
being
charged
based
on
whack,
because
whack
can
increase
on
a
quarterly
basis
depending
on
what
the
drug
is
or
depending
what
the
type
of
product
that's
supplied
to
the
patient?
We.
L
C
C
L
L
The
city
has
probably
seen
and
been
with
the
number
of
dental
care
providers
over
the
years,
as
probably
as
many
as
there
are
companies.
We
finally
landed
that
United
Healthcare
through
the
floor
League
of
Cities
in
2016.
The
league
was
able
to
negotiate
a
better
deal
with
Delta
Dental
Delta
devil
has
is
one
of
the
largest
carriers
in
the
u.s.
that's
recognized
across
the
across
the
country.
It
does
have
more
local
providers
than
United,
and
the
cost
of
the
plant
was
a
lot
cheaper.
L
In
fact,
we
were
able
to
switch
plans
and
save
fifteen
thousand
dollars
a
year,
just
by
changing
plans
that
happened
in
2016.
The
rates
have
not
gone
up.
It's
a
pretty
standard
dental
plan,
pretty
much
all
dental
plans
are
similar.
Just
there's
the
odd
thing
that
might
be
different,
but
this
is
pretty
standard.
There
there's
been
no
increase
since
sixteen,
and
there
will
be
no
increase
for
this
this
coming
year.
L
O
O
L
Again,
I'm
going
to
ask
that
you
approve
the
renewal
of
the
property
and
casualty
and
workers
comp
insurances
with
the
Florida
municipal
insurance
trust
for
a
period
of
one
year
commencing
October
1st
2018
this
year
has
been
an
interesting
year.
I
will
cover
about
a
couple
of
the
cost
drivers
that
have
resulted
in
an
increase
for
us
our
work
comp
experience
modification
is
very
similar,
but
not
identical,
but
from
peripheral
purposes
of
explanation,
it's
very
similar
to
the
loss
ratio
in
health
care.
We
actually
went
up
by
3.2
percent.
L
We
have
a
payroll,
we
have
payroll
increases
and
payroll
increases
immediately.
Trans
translate
into
increases
in
premiums
that
pushed
it
up
by
5%.
We
also
had
some
increased
losses
in
auto
liability
was
up
38%
out
of
physical
damage,
31%
and
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
the
safety
program
is
under
the
police.
There,
the
police
department,
the
fire
department
and
they
have
recently
implemented
a
far
more
vigorous
safety
program
which
is
aimed
at
reducing
the
losses
in
these
areas.
I
Thanks
Mary
I
asked
a
couple
questions
earlier
today
about
the
artwork,
so
the
city
is
people
in
the
audience
the
residents
watching,
if
you're,
not
aware
the
city
has
a
valuable
art
and
it's
one
thing
that
we're
making
an
intentional
effort
to
is
buying
more
art
or
public
art.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
that
and
how
that's
being
insured
from
a
standpoint,
because
I
know
we've
got
some
well-known
artists
and
we've
either
it's
been
donated
to
the
city
or
art.
I
Funds
have
been
donated
or
put
into
a
fund
to
purchase
these
items
and
they're
being
placed
throughout
the
city
this
year
and
in
the
coming
years,
and
we
have
some
already
in
place.
So
the
last
thing
I
want
to
see
is
someone
throw
a
brick
through
a
painting,
run
over
a
statue
that
costs
a
significant
amount
of
money
and
then
drive
off
and
then
we're
stuck
with
a
bill
to
try
to
figure
it
out
or
not
replace
it.
L
Basically,
they're
covered
under
the
prado
property
insurance
they're,
not
they're,
under
the
blanket
insurance,
which
means
they're
not
individually
listed.
However,
there
is
a
$250,000
maximum
per
year
for
all
items.
We
do
have
a
thousand
dollar
deductible,
the
cost
or
the
insurance
is
based
on
either
what
we've
purchased
the
purchase
price
or
the
recommended
price
by
the
our
public
art
committee.
That's
basically
what
we
have
in
place
right
now.

N
C
Well,
thank
you.
We
have
no
information
but
I'm
glad
that
the
City
pension
plan
will
provide
this
benefit
to
the
spouse
of
the
police
officer.
We
lost
life
during
the
line
of
duty,
and
now
that's
the
least
we
can
do,
and
always
thank
you
for
the
service
was
actually
I
want
to
thank
every
police
officer
for
the
service
provider.
E
Thank
you
again,
I'll
short,
my
mic
comments
from
two
weeks
ago.
I
think
this
is
a
very
great
night
in
Tarpon
Springs.
You
know
there's
times
the
days
of
this
auditorium
is
packed
for
things
that
I
don't
consider
that
groundbreaking,
but
that's
for
people
to
choose,
but
this
is
a
very
ground.
A
groundbreaking
moment
prefer
for
two
reasons,
one
we're
doing
that
we're
doing
the
right
thing.
E
That's
what
this
is,
what
big
conduct
family
deserves
for
the
sacrifice
that
they
made,
but
also
we're
setting
the
standard
doing
going
forward
for
all
of
our
officers
that
are
in
the
line
of
duty.
Should,
though,
should
this
got?
You
know,
God
that
happened
again
and
again.
I
know
we
were
originally.
You
know
looking
at
the
model
that
the
governor
set
for
the
state,
but
I
think
we
even
surpassed
that
so
I
think
week
week
we
we
we
canoe
and
tarpon
springs.
E
We
have
the
highest
and
best
policy
to
compensate
the
families
of
any
deceased
officers.
So
I,
especially
thank
you
to
the
convict
family
for
their
for
their
patience.
I.
Thank
you
for
every
sworn
officer
we
have
on
our
staff.
You
all
do
a
great
job
and
I
thought
we
do.
We
do.
We
just
can't
think
doing
nothing.
G
Thank
you
this.
This
is
quite
an
accomplishment,
I
feel
for
all
of
our
police
officers
and
I'm,
so
happy
that
we
all
were
in
agreement.
I
mean
I,
don't
know
how
we
could
not
have
been
an
agreement
on
this.
This
issue
I
think
it's
a
no-brainer.
Anybody
that
puts
their
life
on
the
line
every
single
day
that
they
they
wake
up
at
least
deserves
this
100%
death
benefit
to
the
family,
especially
if
you
know
you
died
in
the
line
of
duty.
G
It's
just
I
just
can't
believe
that
this
was
not
in
place
and
I
was
kind
of
surprised
to
learn
that
so
I'm
happy
that
we're
able
to
offer
this
to
the
conduct
family
I
know
it
doesn't
bring
Charlie
back,
but
I
hope
it
helps
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
thank
you
all
to
all
our
first
responders.
Thank
you.
Let.
I
All
the
residents,
the
city,
employees,
the
officers,
the
fire
department,
I
think
this
is
at
least
that
the
Commission
and
the
board
can
do
is
come
together
as
a
family
and
support
the
police
department
and
to
give
all
the
police
officers
a
peace
of
mind
when
they're
running
into
a
dangerous
situation
that
their
families
will
be
taken
care
of
and
that
that's
an
important
aspect
so
happy
to
support
the
family.
And
thank
you
thank.
Q
Mayor
and
I'm
honorable

to
everyone

I
come
before
you
to
thank
you.
I
know
it's
been
a
hard
road,
but
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
Q
I
want
to
thank
the
governor,
Governor
Rick
Scott
for
getting
involved,
certainly
Congressman
Gus
Bilirakis,
our
Attorney
General,
Pam
Bondi,
and
all
the
other
organizations
that
have
written
letters
on
the
conduct
of
family.
Thank
you
for
having
an
open
mind
and
the
compassionate
heart.
Thank
you
for
the
comments
that
I've
heard
under
Dyess
and
chief.
Thank
you
for
your
comments
at
the
table.
Q
This
was
as
you've
talked
about
in
the
homeless
issue,
and
this
was
a
collaborative
effort,
and
this
was
us
working
together
and
I
will
tell
you
that
for
the
officers
and
the
families
of
these
officers
who
risk
their
lives
each
and
every
day
for
your
citizens
and
Tarpon
Springs
to
hear
those
kind
words
from
the
diaster.
They
goes
a
long
way.
Q
I
will
tell
you
that
I
presumably
will
ask
for
a
favorable
vote,
and
certainly
if
it
should
happen,
which
I
believe
it
will,
you
will
be
a
beacon
of
light
for
the
other
cities
in
the
state
of
Florida.
I
am
my
organization
that
were
intimately
involved
with
FRS
and
the
governor
was
gracious
enough
to
sign
that
bill
really
and
truly
without
belaboring.
What
you
all
have
said.
It
really
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
again.
C
R
Might
understand
that.
You
know
mr.
vice
mayor
that
you
mentioned
that
you
know
you
hope
this
never
happens
again
and
you
guys
aren't
in
this
position
that
we
are
in
today,
but
unfortunately,
as
chief
coach
and
can
tell
you
with
our
line
of
work.
It's
it's
going
to
happen
again
and
what
you're
doing
here
tonight,
whether
it
be
you
know,
recent
or
in
in
my
hopes,
a
long
long
time
from
now.
But
what
you've
done?
R
What
you're
doing
here
tonight
is
not
only
protecting
the
family
of
the
officer
that
that's
been
lost,
but
you're
also
protecting
every
single
one
of
the
Tarpan
officers
that
you
see
day-to-day
now
and
going
into
the
future.
Should
that
or
when
that
does
happen
again,
that
their
families
are
in
a
position
where
they
have
something
to
show
for
the
sacrifice.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
chief
coaching
and
thank
you
all
for
working
with
us
and
I.
R
The
biggest
thing
you
have
to
say
is
for
Teresa,
because
her
strength
and
her
courage,
through
this
entire
process
and
working
not
only
for
every
single
current
member
of
Tarpon
Springs,
Police
Department,
but
those
coming
forward
can
never
be
measured
and
it
can't-
and
there
are
no
thank-yous
enough.
That
can
appreciate
that.
So
thank
you.
Thank.

S

Most
of
you
know
officer
conducts
Widow
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here
tonight
and
to
commissioners.
Thank
you
for
your
part
and
making
tonight
possible
when
I
asked
for
this
change.
I
didn't
ask
for
just
my
family.
I
asked
for
the
department
and
I
didn't
ask
for
a
penny
more
than
what
my
husband
earned
before
he
was
killed
serving
the
community,
but
I
had
no
idea
how
extremely
emotionally
hard
this
was.

September
18
2018.
It
was
published
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Times
by
title
with
a
map
on
July
27
2018.
This
is
quasi-judicial
at
a
quiz
that
is
proceeding
the
Commission
acts
in
a
quasi-judicial,
rather
than
you
legislative
capacity.
That's
such
a
hearing.
It
was
not
the
Commission's
function
to
make
law,
but
rather
to
apply
law
that
has
already
been
established.
P
At
such
a
hearing,
the
Commission
was
required
by
law
to
make
findings
of
fact
based
upon
the
evidence
presented
and
apply
those
findings
to
previously
establish
criteria.
The
Commission
may
only
consider
evidence
that
the
law
considers
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
to
the
issues.
If
that
evidence
demonstrates
that
the
applicant
has
met
the
criteria
established
by
the
code,
then
the
Commission
is
required
by
law
to
find
in
favor
of
the
applicant.
P
If
the
competence,
substantial
and
relevant
evidence
demonstrates
that
the
applicant
has
failed
to
meet
the
criteria,
then
the
Commissioner
is
required
by
law
to
find
against
the
applicant.
All
witnesses
must
give
their
testimony
under
oath
all
persons,
testifying
must
give
their
name
and
address
for
the
record.
All
testimony
in
questioning
must
address
matters
that
are
relevant
and
material
to
the
issues
under
consideration.
Thus
any
staff
will
present
his
testimony
on
evidence.
First,
the
applicant
will
have
an
opportunity
to
cross-examine
city
staff.
An
applicant
will
then
present
its
testimony.
P
Witnesses
and
city
staff
will
have
an
opportunity
to
cross-examine
applicants.
Witnesses
members
of
the
public
opposing
the
application
will
then
be
given
the
opportunity
to
present
testimony.
After
all,
members
of
thought
of
speaking
in
opposition
have
concluded,
and
members
of
the
public
in
support
of
the
application
will
have
the
opportunity
to
present
testimony
each
member
of
the
public
is
limited
to
four
minutes.
The
applicant
will
then
have
an
opportunity
to
make
a
closing
argument
or
summary,
after
which
city
staff
will
be
given
an
opportunity
to
make
a
closing
argument
or
summary.
P
I
P
T
Mayor
commissioners,
Heather
earlier
you're
planning
a
director
and
staff
to
this
application.
This
again
is
an
application
amending
0.6
acres
of
real
property
located
near
Lucille
Drive
or
along
Lucille
Drive
from
our
100
to
our
100.
A
essentially
this
application
is
adjusting
the
land
use
similar
to
the
land
use
that
was
adjusted
just
to
the
south
of
it
in
the
Bayshore
Heights
area,
part
of
that
Bayshore
Heights
subdivision
tree
plot
that
was
done
in
2016.
T
Essentially,
the
land
use
is
consistent
between
there's
a
consistencies
between
the
are
100
and
the
are
100
a
land
use.
Are
the
land
use
sustained
remaining
the
same,
the
residential,
very
low
category?
The
density
remains
consistent
is
the
same.
Essentially.
What
changes
here
is
the
lot
dimension
requirements,
so
the
minimum
lot
dimensions
are
slightly
different
and
the
setbacks
are
slightly
different
here.
Those
are
the
two
main
issues
that
change.
There
is
some
differences
in
what
is
allowed
based
on
those
particular
parameters.
T
T
There
are
facilities
available
to
serve
on
any
future
development
on
these
sites,
and
essentially
this
is
recognizing
the
underlying
plat,
so
this
area
had
r100
zoning
put
on
top
of
it.
The
existing
plat
underneath
had
sudden
standard
Lots
when
that
r100
zoning
was
put
on
there
with
this
r100
a
zoning.
It
basically
allows
those
individually
with
plaited
Lots
to
be
used
and
as
they
were,
originally
plotted.
U
Good
evening,
mayor
and
commissioners,
I'm
Cindy
Terra
Pawnee
22
North
Spring
Boulevard
tonight
I
represent
mrs.
produce.
Who
is
the
applicant
in
this
case,
what
I
passed
around
is
the
Ferguson's
Cedar
bluffs
addition,
the
plat
was
approved
in
1958,
so
it's
over
60
years
old,
mr.
mrs.
proto's
purchased.
All
six
Lots
in
1985,
her
home
is
built
on
the
two
Lots
to
the
east,
and
one
single-family
lot
has
been
sold
off
that
fronts
on
Bayshore.
U
The
three
Lots
we're
talking
about
tonight
are
four
five
and
six
they're,
the
western
section
of
that
block,
and
it's
in
shown
clearly
in
the
maps
in
your
staff
report
as
well
as
mr.
Waller
mentioned.
Bay
Shore
Heights
is
one
lot
south
of
us
and
has
probably
60
70
Lots
or
so
that
are
there
are
108,
so
we're
requesting
that
same
zoning
between
our
100
and
our
100.
A
the
differences
primarily
is
lot
size.
U
So
in
the
our
100
it's
a
10,000
square
foot
lot
size
we're
asking
to
go
to
our
100,
a
which
is
a
7,000
square
foot
lot
size
of
the
three
Lots.
One
of
them
meets
the
10,000,
the
other
two
or
9,500.
One
is
almost
ninety
six
hundred,
so
we're
just
very
slightly
off
the
10,000
square
foot
minimum.
So
that's
why
we're
asking
for
this
rezoning?
Clearly,
you
heard
your
staff
recommended
approval.
The
Planning
Commission
recommended
approval.
U
U
H
Hurry
and
drop
list
907
and
905
Bayshore
Drive
I'm
the
person
most
affected
by
the
zoning
change
as
I
own
all
the
property
across
the
street
from
it
I
am
NOT
opposed
to
this
rezoning
request.
The
only
reason
I'm
here
is
about
the
drainage
issues
when
they
put
pay
sure
Heights
in
they
put
a
culvert
across
from
mrs.
proptosis
property,
to
my
property,
my
property
being
the
lowest
which
was
designed
nut
solely
to
let
the
water
normally
drain
in
its
way
it
always
drained,
even
though
they
put
the
road
across.
H
My
only
concern
is
when
they
put
the
houses
in
across
the
street,
which
is
fine,
I'm
not
opposed
to
that
at
all
is
that
they
either
close
that
culvert
or
require
the
houses
to
drain
onto
the
street,
like
all
the
other
houses
and
tarpon
springs
are
required
to
do.
That's
my
only
concern.
That's
the
only
thing
I
wanted
in
the
record.
I,
don't
oppose
this
motion
to
rezone
it
three
houses.
Three
Lots
is
fine
with
me.
Thank
you.
P

Hi
Anita
I,
my
name
is
Rhonda
Weiner
I
just
brought
the
property
next
door
to
you.
It's
a
pleasure
to
meet
you
all
I'm,
the
single
owner,
I,
don't
know
what
to
say,
but
it's
a
great
property
I'm
thrilled
to
be
your
neighbor
I
love
the
property.
I
love
the
whole
thing.
I
just
picked
up
and
moved
from
Margate
New
Jersey.
V
After
living
there,
my
whole
life
been
dealing
in
the
casinos
I
had
enough
of
the
cold
and
the
wildlife
there
I
just
can't.
Take
it
anymore.
I'm,
retired
and
I
can't
take
that
lifestyle.
I
just
can't
take
it.
My
boyfriend
was
older
and
he
passed
away.
He
was
an
older
man
and
I.
Just
can't
do
the
cold
and
the
shoveling,
and
so
I
met
over
the
years.
