to
encourage
academic
excellence
among
our
students
and
teachers,
the
top
apple
award.
It
was
originated
in
st.
A
Petersburg
by
former
mayor
Rick
Becker,
and
it
was
adopted
in
topper
Springs
by
former
mayor
diver
Archie,
and
it's
my
privilege
to
continue
with
this
program
and
to
honor
our
schools
and
our

accomplishment
to
qualified
for
the
top
apple
award.
The
school
based
administrators,
along
with
the
students,
staff
and
parents,
had
to
move
their
school
up
a
letter
grade
or
maintaining
aid
based
on
the
state
accountability
system
and
now
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity

introduce
some
of
the
special
guests
that
we
have
here
with
us
tonight.

I
A
Congratulations
to
the
schools,
the
principals
to
the
teachers,
to
the
students
to
the
parents.
It's
always
a
pleasure
to
recognize
the
schools
and
the
administrators,
the
students,
the
teachers
with
the
outstanding
accomplishments
and
I'm
hoping
next
year
that
we
have
more
schools
with
a
great
to
be
recognized,
but
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
following
sponsors
for
their
generous,
generous
donation
for
this
event
and
to
recognize
them
with
a
certificate
of
appreciation.
J
A
K
My
name
is
Gregory
Barnes
and
live
at
1281
Windy
base
show
in
Tarpon,
Springs
I
know
that
Anclote
Road
has
been
an
item
of
discussion
in
the
past
and
how
it
needs
some.
Some
upgrades
and
some
improvements
and
I
know
that's
being
talked
about,
but
our
immediate
concern
is
right
at
the
intersection
of
Anclote
Road
and
us
19
alternate
19,
there's
some
serious
potholes
there
that
we
have
to
travel
through
every
single
day
and
you
have
to
drive
around
it.
Make
sure
that
you
you're
not
hitting
it.
A
M
My
name
is
Isabella
Chappell
sky
I
live
on
one
one,
zero
one
is
so
good
street
start
on
Springs
and
I
have
a
comment
about
the
sewer
project
that
is
being
done
in
our
neighborhood.
We
have
concerns
about
the
company
that
is
doing
the
project
because
you
know
first
of
all,
I
contacted
the
city
several
times
about
the
damage
to
my
home.
I
have
many
cracks
in
my
home.
M
J
N
A
N
Thank
you.
Secondly,
why
do
we
spend
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
that
building
down
there
on
to
the
end,
the
top
an
avenue?
That's
an
awful
lot
of
money
to
spend
for
that
place?
That
was
the
police.
Were
there
all
the
damn
time,
I,
don't
understand
why
we
didn't
do
something
different
about
that.
Those
are
two
things
that
I
want
to
bring
up.
I
haven't
been
around
here
for
a
while,
because
I
was
sick.
A
O
Yeah
I'm
Steve
Williams,
Olivia,
1411,
Fox,
Run,
Drive,
Tarpon,
Springs
and
I'd
like
to
know
when
are
we
gonna
get
Belcher
to
go
through
because
as
far
as
I've
heard,
there
are
no
good
excuses
for
belcher
not
being
connected
all
the
way
through
to
Martin
Luther
King.
Somebody
needs
to
get
behind
this
project
and
actually
help
out
the
people
who
travel
through
that
area
or
who
live
on
that
side
of
Tarpon
Springs
and,
at
the
same
time,
it'd
be
nice.
If,
what's
the
name
of
the
road
that
goes
past,
the
winn-dixie.
P
O
Stops
there
at
the
trail,
which
is
designed
to
go
through
two
belcher
mirrors,
can
we
get
on
that
project?
I
know
we're
gonna
have
to
move
the
the
scales
from
the
dump
onto
the
other
side
of
it,
but
really
be
nice.
If
we
could,
you
know,
connect
these
roads
that
go
nowhere
that
are
designed
to
go
through.
Thank
you.
Thank.

little
bit,
but
I
often
say
you
know
not
that
they
don't
go
unseen
is
when
you
pay
your
water
bill.
You
go
over
and
see
their
office,
but
these
are
two,
ladies,
that
really
really
keep
the
city
running.
I
joked
that
Irene
keeps
me
out
of
jail,
not
Huestis
in
compliance
with
all
the
things
that
we
have
to
do
as
a
city
board.
So
thank
you

you.
Both
the
city
would
not
be
the
same
without
y'all.
Thank
you.
I.
S
You,
just
you
know,
don't
know
if
any
of
you
know
what
an
outstanding
job
these
two
women
do
for
us
for
the
city,
not
just
for
us
as
commissioners
and
but
what
they
do
for
the
city,
there's
so
much
that
is
done
in
the
clerk's
office.
That
people
just
don't
realize,
and
these
girls
do
above
and
beyond
their
staff,
does,
above
and
beyond,
like
they

all
this
together
this

and
and
they
do
so
much
and
we
can't
thank
you
enough
for
everything
everything's
just
run
so
smoothly,
they
always
have
our
back.

The
reason
for

included

the

also
saw

most
amazing
was

as

We
were
amazed
by
the

We

their
concerns
of
transportation
between
the
islands
to
the
mainland

H
The
Restless

then
left

meet
up
with
me,
Radha

in
Athens,
in
which
we
were
invited

discussed
economic

The
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
and
its
delegation
representing
tarpon
springs,
would
like
to
thank
all
of
the
mayors
and
representatives
of
our
three
sister
cities
having
lost
TV
and
hockey,
prime
minister
tsipras
and
president
of
localist
for
their
gracious
hospitality
afforded
to
us.
A
A
Personally,
like
to
thank
the
IT
department
in
the
clerk's
office
for
doing
this
presentation,
they
did
an
excellent
job.
Thank
you
very
much,
I'd
like
to
thank
vice
mayor
Panther
in
his
wife,
Ruth
Commissioner
receiver,
her
sister
Angie
city
clerk,
Irene,
Jacobs,
Deborah
city
clerk,
manesis
for
traveling
to
assistant
city
Kalymnos
kalki
in
seaming.
A
The
the
trip
was
very
productive.
It
was
amazing.
Trip
in
our
delegation
did
an
excellent
job
representing
the
city
of
Tartu
spring
and
I'll.
Thank
them
personally.
I
would
like
to
I
give
special
thanks
to
the
following.
The
mayor
of
Callie
knows
you
are
a
girl,
Aziz
and
his
wife
despina.
The
calumny
council
is
eminence
metropolitan
pieces
of
columnist.
A
Q
Thank
you,
yes,
I
want
to
thank
you,
mayor
for
helping
and
initializing
that
this
trip
on
the
tail
of
them
coming
here
back
a
year
and
a
half
ago
and
I
want
to
thank
our
city
clerks
that
were
implement
that
were
very
heavy
in
implementing
that
trip
with
the
agenda
and
the
schedules
and
various
flight
schedules,
because
we
all
kind
of
flew
separately
somewhat
and
personally
for
me
and
my
wife
cuz.
We
we
really,
we
were
the
only
non
Greeks
and
helping
us
with
the
translation
over
there,
and
it
was
a
great
time.
Q
Q
You
know
kind
of
the
background
of
the
heritage
of
what
I
see
every
day
here
in
Tarpon
Springs,
so
every
Islander
was
it
was,
was
unique
and
had
the
most
had
their
own
unique
flavors
and
things
that
we
took
from
it.
But
yeah
I
think
everyone
who
was
thanked
in
the
video
was
very
Hospital
I
mean
way.
It
was
very
Doha's,
oh
hospitable
and
very
nice,
and
you
almost
felt
like
you
were
in
the
Southland.
Q
You
were
there
on
the
islands,
because
the
Lord
is
so
kind
and
we
ate
non-stop.
That
was
the
universal
theme,
I
think
for
each
Island,
and
it
is
true
that
Nick
Nixon
Bellis
helped
us
greatly
in
column
notes.
We
had
to
relocate
because
of
the
bombs
on
Greek
Easter,
and
he
and
you
ever
watched
movie
Argo.
It
kind
of
felt
like
that.
One
thanks
to
Commissioner,
Seaver
being
able
to
drive,
stick
shift
and
and
and
the
Nick
and
I
doing
the
luggage
and
it
was
given
I
wish.
Q
We
could
video
take
that,
put
it
on
there,
but
we
didn't
get
to
the
type
of
that,
but
it
was.
It
was
quite
the
event,
but
the
whole
the
whole.
The
whole
trip
was
great
and
I
look
forward
to
going
to
going
going
going
back,
sometimes
so
Thank
You
mayor
again
in
the
clerk's
and
everyone
else
that
helped
in
organizing
this.
This
trip,
Thank,
You,
Commissioner
Seaver.
Yes,.
T
Thank
you
well
at
being
a
Greek
descent,
I've
grew
up
overseas
and
since
many
islands,
but
I've
never
been
to
columnist
hockey
and
see
me,
and
so
it
was
very
grateful
to
go
on
this
trip
and
visit
these
islands.
The
mayors
of
these
islands
were
so
hospitable
and
fed
us
like.
There
was
no
tomorrow
I'm
still
trying
to
take
the
weight
off
and
the
food
just
kept
coming.
It
was
up,
it
was
wonderful.
T
Not
only
did
I
have
a
great
time,
but
I
learned
a
lot
and
I
want
to
thank
Michelle
and
Irene,
also
for
all
the
hard
work
we're
putting
a
lot
of
this
together
for
us
to
go.
My
sister
and
I
went
in
advance
a
few
days,
so
we
could
spend
some
time
in
Athens
with
our
relatives
and
then
met
up
and,
and
everything
went
very
smoothly.
T
My
little
ride
over
the
mountain
and
around
the
hills
and
a
stick
shift
was
not
like
driving
a
stick
shift
in
Florida
and
it
promised
me
there
would
be
no
problem.
It's
only
a
couple
of
miles
away,
but
I
had
passengers
and
I
was
having
like
thoughts
of
I'm
gonna.
You
know
just
lose
it
and
start
rolling
backwards
down
the
mountain,
but
but
it
all
went
well
and
thank
you
for
going
back
and
getting
the
luggage
and
it
was
unbelievable
the
help
that
he
he
gave
us
and
was
there
for
us
at
all
times.
T
S
I'm
just
happy
you
guys
made
it
back
safe
and
you
know
I'm
always
leery
about
traveling
far
away.
So
it
looks
like
an
amazing
trip
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
representing
our
city
great
time.
I
know
you
had
a
very
full
agenda,
so
it
seemed
like
you
were
extremely
busy
the
entire
time,
but
it
looked
like
you
also
had
a
little
bit
of
fun
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
representing
us
and
I
did
want
to
thank
mr.
Sam
Bella's,
cuz
I
know
you
had
really
helped
him
out
a
lot.
S
S
V
You
said
car
I
gained
some
weight,
while
you
guys
are
gone
because
we
had
many
meetings
and
so
I
just
ate
all
night
I.
Thank
you
for
representing
us
for
tarpon
springs
and
I.
We've
got
a
lot
of
Greek
heritage
throughout
tarpon
springs
and
it's
great
to
see
our
commission
represented
over
there.
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
we
talked
about
before
the
mayor
and
commissioners
left
that
this
wasn't
a
funded.
This
was
not
funded
by
City
funds
for
the
elected
officials.
V
So
if
anyone
was
thinking,
this
looks
like
a
beautiful
trip
that
the
tax
payers
paid
for
for
the
elected
officials
that
that
didn't
happen.
I
just
want
to
be
I
was
not
one
of
them
that
didn't
I
didn't
attend,
so
I
could
stand
on
that
and
say
we.
We
did
not
pay
as
a
city
for
elected
officials,
but
thank
you
for
representing
us
all
over
there
and
everything
you're
doing
Thanks.
H
Just
like
to
thank
the
mayor
vice
mayor
and
Commissioner
Sieber
for
representing
the
city
well-
and
it
also
was
an
amazing
trip-
I've
never
been
to
see
me
or
hockey
before
so
that
was
nice
and
I
personally
would
like
to
thank
Nick
as
well
for
everything
that
you
did
for
us,
and
golly
knows
how
you
were
there.
Thank.
T
A
A
W
Good
evening,
I'm
Bob
Robertson
project
administration,
department,
director,
and
that
was
hard
act
to
follow,
but
I'll
do
my
best.
You
know
if
you
do
decide
to
go
again.
I
do
drive,
stick
Commission
receivers.
So
just
let
me
know
so.
This
item,
for
you
is,
is
presented
for
your
information
and
discussion
this
evening.
W
I'm
also
chief
Jung
is
also
here
somewhere
there.
He
is.
If
we
have
questions
about
the
related
to
the
station
itself,
fire
station
70
is
located
on
Gulf
Road,
it's
on
a
0.4,
acre
property,
and
this
approximately
4200
square
foot
facility
was
built
in
1977.
This
was
way
back
round
recently.
The
city
manager
was
made
aware
of
an
opportunity
to
purchase
a
0.85
acre
property
nearby,
also
located
on
Gulf
Road.
It's
near
the
existing
fire
station
70
property.
W
He
asked
me
to
initiate
a
conceptual
review
of
the
site
for
suitability
to
build
a
new
fire
station
to
eventually
replace
fire
station.
70
I
had
cardinal
engineering
conduct
an
initial
review
of
the
site,
which
indicated
that
this
proposed
site
would
be
suitable
in
terms
of
size
for
a
new
station.
So,
based
on
that,
we
intend
to
move
forward
with
a
more
in-depth
analysis,
including
title
search,
environmental
analysis
and
geotechnical
testing.
W
If
the
final
recommendation,
based
on
the
results
of
that
due
diligence
work,
is
to
move
forward
with
the
purchase,
it
would
be
presented
to
the
BOC
for
final
approval.
So
we're
just
here
to
talk
about
or
present
that
we
want
to
move
forward
with
the
due
diligence,
work
and
mark.
If
you
want
anything.
X
Just
a
little
backdrop,
obviously
you
know
we
are
waiting
for
the
next
year,
10
years
of
the
paint
of
house,
without
that
we
wouldn't
be
talking
about
this
or
any
other
projects.
One
of
the
things
we
knew
that
somewhere
in
that
penny,
probably
estimated.
Now
it's
not
a
firm
estimate,
probably
somewhere
around
2023
2025
ish,
would
probably
be
the
time
to
start
the
design
and
looking
at
a
new
fire
station.
At
that
time,
the
fire
station
be
50
years
old.
X
We
just
built
a
new
one,
so
as
we
sit
down
as
a
commission
within
the
next
couple
years
and
start
plotting
out
the
10
years
of
the
penny,
we
know-
probably
in
the
middle
of
that
time,
you
know
somewhere
five
to
seven
years,
give
or
take
that
we
may
be
looking
at
that.
The
concern,
obviously
we
have
and
some
things
we
learn
from
building
a
new
fire
station-
is
that
location
the
size
of
that
land
may
not
be
big
enough
to
do
the
fire
station.
We
want
on
now
there's
also
some
things.
X
We
may
be
able
to
go
to
store
or
do
something
like
that
in
that
property,
but
we
don't
want
to
get
to
a
situation
where
2023,
4
or
5
we're
sitting
there
to
design
a
fire
station
we
find
out.
The
present
location
is
not
big
enough
and
worse
than
they're,
looking
for
land
in
five
or
seven
years.
Obviously,
that
location
on
Golf
Road
is
a
perfect
location
home
for
that
area
and
a
fire
station
with
what
land
prices
would
be
in
five
or
seven
years
with
the
availability
of
that.
X
It's
just
seem
like
a
situation
that
we
need
to
look
at
and
kind
of
Bank
the
property
as
the
government
for
that.
If
we
needed
that
and
if
we
weren't
able
to
put
it
on
that
station
or
it
was
a
better
location,
then
we
would
have
some
land
available
to
do
that.
Obviously,
since
we're
maybe
five
or
seven
years
way,
we
can
talk
later
about
some
different
ideas
of
how
we
might
want
to
use
that
property
during
that
time.
X
Obviously,
right
now,
we've
got
a
we've,
got
an
agreement
with
a
church
to
put
a
basketball
court,
but
there's
other
options.
Parks
and
Recreation
of
the
things
we
could
possibly
do
with
that
property
in
that
time,
but
again
I
didn't
want
whether
it's
me,
it
probably
won't
be
me
or
this
board
when
it
comes
up,
maybe
I'm
some
members,
but
we
don't
want
to
say
in
a
situation
we
were
looking
in
in
that
time
for
land.
If
we
had
the
opportunity
to
get
this
piece
of
land
now,
there
would
always
be
a
use
for
it.
X
If
we
decided
we
were
going
to
do
it,
there'd
be
a
use,
but
then,
if
we
come
up
with
a
situation
because
the
requirements
of
the
fire
station,
the
bays
and
and
and
again
what
we
learned
for
what
we
needed
at
the
new
fire
station-
that
we
would
have
a
piece
of
land
ready
to
be
able
to
do
that
with.
So
that's
why
we're
looking?
We
were
able
to
get
a
price
that
is
under
referendum
price.
X
So
again,
if
everything
works
out
with
the
due
diligence
we'll
be
bringing
back
to
you,
it
needs
a
supermajority
vote
of
the
commission,
the
purchase
we
would
be
purchasing
with
penny
money.
But
again,
there's
there's
about
four
to
five
weeks
of
study
that
has
to
be
done
to
make
sure
the
viability
of
it,
but
we
thought
it's
a
wise
move
to
do
and
look
at
and
to
bring
back
for
you
to
see
if
we
wanted
to
do
that.
X
A
Still
occurs
mr.
Robinson
I
wanna.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward
I
believe
this
property
will
be
very
useful
to
the
city
and
I
am
in
favor
of
purchasing
this
property.
But,
however,
I
have
some
questions
that
are
I
like
to
ask.
First,
question
will
be:
what
would
the
appraised
value
is
for
the
problem?
We
know
that
the
offered
the.
W
A
This
is
a
premature,
but
I
would
like
to
have
an
estimate
cost
what
it
would
cost
to
build
a
new
fire
station
on
this
property
and
if
we
go
and
what's
the
estimated
cost,
if
we
have
to
remodel
and
to
enhance
the
existing
station,
if
we
can
do
it,
how
much
double
cost
what
other
uses
we
can
have
for
this
property,
including
the
recreation
like
mr.
liquors
they
just
mentioned,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
would
do
the
highest
possible
quality
testing,
ensure
there's
no
matter
how
many
holes
in
the
area
no
but
I.
Q
Thank
you
I'm
in
support
of
this
exploration
and
if
the
deal
works
out
to
obtain
the
property
that
station
is
aging,
it
does
have
some
issues.
I
think
that
warrant
down
building
a
new
station,
especially
with
the
growth
out
there
originally
I
thought
the
new
piece
was
smaller
by
one
on
the
property
fighters,
Mathis
bigger
than
our
current
piece
or
police
usable,
because
all
the
trees
on
the
current
piece,
so
I'm
in
favor,
of
retaining
it
I
would
hope
we
could
build
one
sooner
but
I
lean
on
you
or
the
now.
Q
That's
budgeted
with
it
with
the
penny
money,
but
I
think
it's
why
it's
not
that
I'm,
usually
for
their
death,
City,
buying
and
making
property,
but
I.
Think
in
this.
In
this
situation
it's
prudent,
I,
think
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
any
inside
knowledge,
but
I'm,
not
even
sure,
if
that
Baptist
Church
is
still
active
or
or
what
and
that's
probably
gonna
get
I
would
assume,
sold
or
something
eventually
so
I
think
it's
wise
for
the
recreation
point
of
view
cuz
that
basketball
court
used
like
crazy.
Yes,.
O
Q
Maybe
you
know
two
things
so:
while
we
retain
the
property,
it's
not
too
costly,
we
can
use
any
money
to
put
in
a
basketball
court,
there
I
mean,
and
that
would
be
the
best
thing
to
do
and
then
eventually
you
know
when
we
do
move
the
fire
station.
If
it's
able
to
use
the
old
fire
station
location
for
for
all
recreation,
I
think
is
important.
I
think
it's
just
important.
Q
We
do
we,
we
piggyback
the
recreation
aspect
off
that
and
don't
rely
on
us,
be
able
to
use
the
Baptist
Church
because
again
I
I
that's
vacant,
and
they
did
they
put
a
new
roof
on
everything.
So
that
would
tell
me
they
might
be
looking
for
a
buyer
but
III
think
overall,
it's
a
great
idea
in
its
and
it
in
it,
and
it's
very
full.
Very
you
know
the
though
of
poor
thinking
and
I
would
be
interested
in
what
it
is.
Gonna
cost
to
build
a
new
fire
station.
I
realize
that's.
Q
The
estimate
is
what
it
cost
today
is
gonna,
be
different
than
what's
gonna
cost
in
2025
I'm,
fine
with
knowing
what
it
costs
to
remodel
that
burnt
one,
but
I'm,
not
an
engineer
or
a
contractor,
but
I
from
what
I
know.
That's
that's
not
possible.
I
will
lean
on
you
all
to
decide
that,
but
bought
bought,
bought
I
bought.
It
bottom
line
I'm
in
support
of
this,
and
let's
use
the
penny
money.
While
we
have
it.
Q
S
S
We
do
yeah
and
that
that
area
is
growing
so
much
that
we
definitely
need
to
expand
the
fire
station
out
there.
You
know
possibly
with
the
old
building
I
mean
I,
don't
know
if
we
could
look
at
if
we
could
look
at
putting
a
second-story
on
or
not
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
structures
like
so
I
know
it
is
old.
S
X
What
you
saying
we
haven't
even
got
into
the
into
it.
Lastly,
the
opportunity
came
up,
I
know
with
the
Little
League
field,
there's
a
piece
of
property.
It
came
up
and
we
waited
a
little
too
long
thinking
to
expand
the
park
and
the
property
was
gone
and
not
you
can't
get
it.
When
this
came
up,
we
wanted
to
move,
and
we
haven't
talked
about.
I
mean
I
mean
for
all
the
training
I
mean
that
that
other
building
could
be
used
for
fire
training.
It
could
be
used
for
other
there.
There
are
so
many.
X
You
know
who
knows
in
five
to
seven
years
what
you
may
put
into
new
building
and
what
you
may
use
that
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
fire
police
that
type
services,
but
we
haven't
even
got
into
that
part
because
we
wanted.
We
need
to
take
advantage
this
opportunity,
but
these
Commission's,
as
we
go,
have
plenty
opportunity,
decide
what's
going
to
be
used
and
it
may
be
a
way
of
how
we
construct
the
new
fire
station.
X
X
X
It
would
take
about
five
or
six
weeks
to
do
the
due
diligence
to
get
you
all
the
information
about
the
property
that
we've
asked
for
my
ability.
It'll
come
back
to
you
for
a
vote
of
whether
to
go
to
closing
again,
we
need
four
out
of
five
commission.
We
need
a
supermajority
vote
to
go
forward
with
it.
That's
required
in
the
contract
that
you
do.
If
you
don't,
then
the
contracts
void
and
we.
J
T
I
also
support
this,
obviously
from
what
you've
said:
there's
not
enough
room
to
expand
or
or
build
a
new
station
on
the
existing
property
and,
like
everyone
said,
you
never
know,
what's
gonna
what
prices
are
going
to
be
or
how
things
are
going
to
be
in
five
to
seven
years.
So
I
appreciate
your
proactive
thinking
to
look
at
this
property
and
I
see
that
the
closing
is
scheduled
for
629.
V
Thank
you,
mayor,
I
support
what
the
mayor
brought
up.
You've
got.
Thinking
brought
some
great
points
up
about
some
options
for
some
due
diligence.
I
would
like
I,
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
look
at
this
and
be
proactive
and
not
having
to
look
at
the
use
of
eminent
domain
to
purchase
homes
to
create
a
new
fire
station
down
the
road.
So
with
that
I
think
it
is
a
smart
and
wise
decision
to
be
proactive
in
this
approach.
V
D
Y
Y
The
condition
was
if
they
no
longer
use
that
as
a
fire
station
or
police
station,
the
property
reverts
back
to
the
American
Legion.
So
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
aware
of
that,
but
that's
in
the
agreement
here
now
we're
willing
to
swap
property.
So
if
you
want
to
look
at
that
and
talk
to
us
about,
that
would
be
more
than
glad
giving
all
the
property
we
have
and
just
take
over
the
fire
station
for
American
Legion
Post
46,
that's
a
nice
piece
of
land
we
now
have
and
we
have
other
land
behind
it.
Y
We
already
sold
land
to
the
city,
but
again
1964
we
dealt
in
good
faith,
gave
that
property
to
the
fire
department
to
the
city
and
if
they
no
longer
use
it
for
that
purpose
is
to
revert
back
to
us.
I
could
submit
this
to
the
mayor
if
you'd
like
I,
think
you're
aware
of
that.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your.
N
John
Stephens
I
live
up
for
golf
I
have
no
girlfriend.
Oh
you
want
to
know.
Is
this
a
piece
of
land
between
nectar,
Jimmy,
restaurant
and
the
nursery
school?
Yes,
okay,
the
only
thing
think
about
we
got
fire
trucks
running
up
and
down
that
road.
All
the
time
that's
the
busiest
station
I
have
ever
seen.
They
do
a
good
job.
A
very
good
job,
they've
been
in
my
house
a
couple
of
times
and
EMTs,
but
just
think
about
how
many
more
trucks
we're
gonna
put
there
or
how
bigger
this
station
gonna
be.
A
P
Good
evening,
mayor
commissioners,
this
is
the
annual
update
that
we
do
once
a
year
with
the
local
mitigation
strategy
and
essentially
is
just
updating
the
information
that
was
adopted
during
the
last
update
that
was
adopted
in
2015.
It's
been
placed
on
your
website
and
essentially
with
what
we're
looking
for,
is
for
you
just
to
acknowledge
the
acceptance
of
that
report,
and
it
has
in
fact
been
loaded.
So
it's
available
for
the
community
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
A
P
X
As
many
of
you
who've
been
around
a
long
time
know,
I've
been
reluctant
to
put
things
and
utility
those.
The
reason
is
because
one
of
the
first
class
I
went
to
city
manager,
they
taught
a
class
on
discouraging
that
because
it
tended
to
be
a
thing
that
people
just
threw
away
didn't
take
seriously
and
one
of
the
things
that
are
put
in
utility
bills
or
regulatory
things
such
as
the
notice
about
the
water
rates,
different
things
with
the
water
and
that
so
so
those
weren't
thrown
away.
X
They
talked
about
not
doing
it,
but
it's
got
to
the
point
we
did
do.
One
I
think
the
sample
is
in
here.
We
did
do
one
recently
and
it
was
a
time
of
hurricane.
It
was
a
penny
for
Pinellas
update
that
that
we
did.
Commissioner
Khare
had
sent
me
an
email
about
about
looking
at
the
again
this
again
with
some
ideas.
I
know,
I've
talked
to
some
of
you
on
the
board
about
doing
this.
X
With
our
new
system
and
the
new
company
we
use
for
the
utility
bills,
it's
made
it
it's
kind
of
changed
the
game.
It's
made
it
a
lot
easier.
It's
probably
cut
the
price
in
half
to
do
this
and
really
why
I
can
bring
this
to
you
and
what
we're
hoping
to
do
is
have
that
situation.
You
see
a
copy
of
what
it's
going
to
cost
us
now,
every
time
we
do
one
of
these
that
go
out
and
do
go
out.
It
takes
a
full
moon
cycle
of
to
do
2-sided,
copy
or
7
fifty-two
dollars.
X
That
price,
when
we're
looking
at
before,
was
in
the
1516
hundred
dollar
range.
But
with
this
new
company
and
their
capabilities,
it's
cut
it
in
how
so
what
I'm?
Bringing
you
look
at
is
something
we're
thinking
of
doing,
probably
starting
out,
maybe
quarterly.
We
can't
do
it
within
cycles.
We
have
regulatory,
for
instance,
these
last
30
days,
where
we've
been
advertising
about
the
rates
we
couldn't
have
put
it
in
then,
but
we're
finishing
we
finished
the
cycle
of
that.
X
So
probably
the
next
cycle,
we're
looking
at,
is
probably
the
June
cycle
to
get
this
in,
as
you
can
see
from
the
draft
that
Judy's
been
working
on,
we've
still
got
some
space
in
there.
Some
of
this
is
some
information
that
Commissioner
Khare
suggested.
Some
is
what
some
other
ones
some
other
commissioners
on
the
board.
X
It
also
tells
about
the
budget
calendar
upcoming
events,
obviously
our
constant
search
to
find
advisory
board
members,
but
as
we're
finishing
up
in
the
next
two
weeks,
and
and
if
you
endorsed
this
idea,
this
is
a
sample
with
some
cleaning
up
and
with
some
more
information
and
some
more
space
that
you
have
to
do
the
first
cycle
of
it.
We
think
we've
got
some
money
in
our.
X
Advertiser
this
time,
maybe
once
or
once
before
the
end
of
the
budget
cycle
and
we'll
incorporate
it
into
the
budget
coming
up
to
do
this.
So
any
ideas,
any
comments
and
you
know
hearing
support
for
it
will
probably
be
launching
it
coming
up
in
the
end
of
May
June
cycle
and
get
the
information
out
to
the
residents.
Thank.
A
S
I
think
monthly
would
be
too
much
quarterly.
It's
probably
a
great
idea
for
this
just
to
get
get
information
out
to
to
the
residents
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
watch
us
on
TV.
They
don't
do
social
media
that
you
know
they're
not.
This
is
a
great
idea
just
to
get
some
information
out
again.
Quarterly
I
think
is
a
great
good
option
for
now
and
if
we
feel
we
need
more,
that
was
another
point,
but
so
who
is
so
Judy
would
be
in
charge
of
putting
all
this
together.
Yes,.
Z
X
Q
Think
you
don't
want
to
thank
you.
Mr.
Carswell
first
spearheading
there
this
that
this
idea,
it
never
made
sense
to
me
I
mean
it
made
sense
and
we
didn't
mark,
explain
private,
the
financial
side
of
it
while
we
never
put
stuff
in
our
water
bill,
so
I'm
glad
it's
come
to
a
time
where
we
can
I,
don't
put
them
on
away.
Iii,
get
three
water
bills
and
I
check
every
one.
Q
There's
that
autograph,
so
people
read
it
I,
assume
of
most
most
most
the
audience
isn't
here
tonight:
cuz
they
got
no
notice
in
their
water
bill
for
the
storm
sewer
thing
so
III
do
think
it
works.
Is
that
I
asked,
as
we
see
here,
that
we
get
the
draft
and
time
for
us
to
review
it
in
case
we
have
any.
You
know,
input
on
that,
but
III
thought
III
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
So
so
so.
Thank
you
very
much.
X
And
you
reminded
me
we're
trying
to
work
on
a
way
that
the
people
who
don't
get
water
bills
in
the
mail
we're
still
trying
to
I
t's,
trying
to
work
out
a
way
that
we're
we're
able
to
get
it
to
those,
because
there
is
a
growing
number.
It's
not
big
number.
The
number
is
growing
of
people
who
don't
get
it
electronically,
so
we're
gonna
still
try
to
work
on
the
way
of
how
we
get
this
to
them.
Also
so,
Commission.
V
Car
Thank
You
mayor
city
manager's,
thanks
for
bringing
us
before
us
to
discuss.
Obviously
the
key
concern
here
was
communication
to
the
residents
on
what
the
city
tarpon
springs
is
doing
with
the
budget.
We
have
a
large
budget
that
we
spend
a
significant
amount
of
money
each
year,
one
of
the
things
that
spurred
I've
had
residents.
That
would
come
up
to
me
and
say:
don't
forget
about
us
in
different
parts
of
the
town
and
I'm
sitting
there
pulling
my
hair
out
I'm
like
we're,
not
forgetting
about
you.
V
We've
got
projects
all
over
the
town,
but
one
of
the
concerns
is
that
they
don't
know
what
the
projects
are.
Maybe
they
don't
know
what
the
past
projects
were?
They
don't
know
what
the
upcoming
projects
are
even
the
ongoing
projects.
So
one
of
the
things
I
would
like
to
see
is
a
little
more
information
about
that.
V
There's
a
nice
link
to
get
a
detail
about
all
the
upcoming
city
projects,
but
I
think
it
would
be
nice
to
highlight
a
few
areas
just
to
focus
on
some
of
the
projects
that
we
did
do
in
the
past
and
maybe
the
next
quarter
of
focus
and
the
projects
that
are
currently
going
on
the
projects
that
are
upcoming
or
even
some
big
boat
discussions
or
large
budget
items
that
are
approaching,
because
it's
not
our
money
as
the
board.
It's
the
residence
money
and
it's
important
that
we.
We
are
good
stewards
of
this.
V
We
do
have
also
a
local
newspaper
which
is
covers
a
good
amount
of
our
meetings.
But
it's
a
good
inform
our
residents
to
that.
They
know
what's
going
on
here
at
City
Hall
and
at
our
meetings,
so
I'm
excited
about
this
overall
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
anyone
knows
this,
but
we
have
listed
17
parks
on
our
draft
here
and
if
I
were
to
survey
I.
Think
most
of
the
town
I
think
they'll
be
pretty
surprised
to
find
out
that
there's

A
Just
to
add
what
commissioner
kicked,
it
just
I
mean
Commissioner
Khare
just
said:
we
also
have
the
information
about
the
project
on
the
on
their
website.
If
you
go
down
on
projects,
you
click
on
that
you're,
going
to
see
all
the
projects
that
we
have.
We
have
like
a
70
new
active
projects
at
this
time
and
every
Wednesday.
It's
an
update
on
that.
So
we're
seeing
real-time
information.
T
Thank
you,
yes,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
It's
been
brought
up
in
the
past
by
residents,
actually
that
we
do
this.
The
water
bill
and
I
think
we've
talked
about
it
or
looked
at
it
and
a
way
to
get
to
the
people
who
don't
get
the
bill.
I
think
Marcus
is
important
because
I
know
a
lot
of
us
don't,
but
no
I
agree.
We
should
do
this.
We
had
a
gentleman
tonight
talk
about
something
that
interested
him
as
far
as
a
project
going
forward
with
streets
and
again
on
our
website.
T
X
You,
the
other
thing
we're
trying
to
get
out
is:
is
the
city
help
email?
That's
why
we
featured
I
know
that
the
draft
is
covering
it,
but
you
saw
tonight
at
public
comment.
Some
people
came
up
with
questions
really
public
comments
to
mediate.
For
you
to
make
statements,
not
those
questions
we
hear
forever.
Well,
we
call
City
Hall,
but
we
don't
have
any
idea
who
to
talk
to
or
we
get
transferred
for
the
apartment.
This
city
help
email,
that's
that
we're
gonna
be
advertising
I'm
in
here
it
goes
to
multiple
people.
X
So
when
you
send
a
question
what's
going
on
with
this
project,
what's
the
idea
is
but
Belcher
roads
getting
on?
What's
going
on
out
on
Gulf
Road,
when
you
send
this,
it
goes
to
multiple
people,
including
myself,
the
city
clerk,
different
project
people.
You
get
an
answer
pretty
much
immediately
within
the
same
day
or
later,
because
so
many
people
get
it.
If
they
don't
see
an
answer
and
that's
where
again,
Judy
Staley
is
one
on
ones.
Accord
and
she'll
give
us
something
for
public
works.
X
X
So
when
you're
looking
at
it
you're
not
seeing
a
list
of
projects,
that's
been
on
our

for
three

If
there's

So
we
want
to
examine
all
those
things,
but
it's
not
something:
that's
gonna
stall!
That
project
we
just
want
another
crack
at
seeing
and
maybe
going
out
for
another
bid
and
then,
if,
if
we
refine
the
bid
go
out
a
second
time,
it's
there,
then
we'll
need
to
do
it,
but
we
don't
want
to
spend
the
money
unnecessarily,
but
it
may
be
the
case
pretty
soon
that
that
maybe
there
is
a
reason
why
we're
not
gonna
be
able
to
get
it.
X
What
the
original
engineer,
but
hopefully
we
can
find
out
what
the
issue
is
fix
it
in
the
bid
and
come
in
with
maybe
a
price.
You
know
a
little
higher
than
the
engineer's
estimate,
but
not
double
so
so
it's
not
stall.
It's
gonna
be
immediately
done
again
and
try
to
see
where
that
is.
Okay.
Great

on
October

through
September,
30th

and
providing
for
an
effective
date
of
this
ordinance.
This
ordinance
was
advertised
intent,
paid
times
on
May
8
and
May
eleventh
two
thousand
eighteen.
This
has
been
the
first

of

in

there's
an

A
second

will
be
on

F
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
Board
of
Commissioners,
this
is
Paul
Smith
public
services
director
we're
bringing
ordinance
2000
1808
in
front
of
you
tonight
to
recommend
specific
changes
to
the
city,
Code
of
Ordinances
chapter
20
having
to
do
with
water
and
sewers.
Specifically,
we
have
some
changes.
We
recommend,
including
a
rate
plan,
a
new
10
year
rate
plan
and
also
some
associated
changes
which
I'll
go
through
in
this
presentation,
so
our
recommendations
are,
as
I
mentioned,
before,
approving
ordinance
2018
o8
what's
involved
here,
is
decreasing.
They
previously
approved
rate
for
fiscal
year
19.
F
F
We
also
recommend
establishing
a
flat
monthly
sewer
rate
for
those
without
water
service.
The
bills
are
based
off
of
the
water
meter
reading
so
those
places
without
water
meters
there
has
to
be
some
sort
of
fare
charge
and
the
flat
rate
is
what
is
recommended
for
that
situation
and
also
there's
some
miscellaneous
administrative
revisions.
There's
outdated
references
in
the
current
ordinance
going
back
to
2003
that
we
want
to
eliminate
to
make
the
ordinance
easier
to
read
and
there's
also
some
other
items
similar
to
that
we're
requesting
an
effective
date
immediately
upon
adoption.
AA
Good
evening
Mary
commissioners
Ron
hearing
finance
director
I
thought
I'd
just
go
over
a
couple
slides
on
the
timeline
and
some
financial
highlights
and
the
timeline
started
back
in
January,
with
the
study
being
started
and
working
with
a
city
staff
and
the
consultant.
And
then
the
study,
once
pretty
once
put
together,
was
presented
to
the
budget
Advisory
Committee
on
February
February,
8
2018,
and
they
gave
their
approval
to
the
plan.
AA
The
study
was
then
presented
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
on
March
20th
2018,
the
notice
of
public
hearings
on
the
water
and
sewer
rates
to
the
you
killed.
Attila
T
customers
was
in
April
2008
teen
utility
bills,
as
required
by
Florida
statute.
One
eighty
point,
one
three:
six
and
their
utility
bill
as
they
got
a
little
flyer,
and
it
said
you
know
when
the
public
hearing
dates
are,
and
it
also
had
a
link
to
the
website.
AA
AA
Some
financial
highlights
of
the
plan:
it
funds,
fifty
eight
million
of
CIP,
that's
capital,
improvement
programs
from
2018
to
2028.
It
ensures
an
unrestricted
fund
outs
above
the
25%
minimum
requirement.
Our
fund
balance
policy
for
the
water
and
sewer
fund.
The
debt
service
coverage
is
above
the
requirements
footing
it
since
we
have
a
bond
and
the
bond
service,
the
bond
covenants,
no
financing
or
each
Court
is
required
for
the
58
million
of
CIP,
and
it
as
Paul
was
saying
it
reduces.
AA
The
rate
of
increase
is
even
the
previously
approved
2019
increase
from
six
point:
seven:
five
percent
to
five
percent
and
some
highlights
of
the
CIP
of
the
58
million.
It
provides
a
necessary
funding
to
invest
in
the
infrastructure,
rehabilitation,
replacement,
maintain
the
efficient
operations
of
the
water
plant,
the
sewage
treatment
plant
and
the
lift
stations,
and
some
of
the
key
initiatives
are
the
water
plant
replacement
and
eight
million
dollars.
AA
Sewer
line
maintenance
and
repair,
3.5
million
lift
station
rehab,
2.2
million
future
water
wells,
1.6
million
hydrant
improvements,
1.6
million
sewer,
inspire
I'm,
sorry,
sewer
expansion,
1.6
million
reclaimed,
water
expansion,
1.5
million
solar
energy
improvements
at
the
water
plant.
2.5
million
and
Becket
bridge
water
sewer
lines,
1.1
million
for
a
total
of
twenty
three
point:
five
million
of
the
58
million
of
CIP.
AA
AA
F
One
of
the
things
we
did
in
performing
this
studies.
We
wanted
to
compare
the
rates
to
the
area
utilities.
There
were
28
area
utilities
that
we
looked
at
in
Hillsboro,
Pasco
and
Pinellas
counties.
We
utilize
for
apples,
apples,
comparison,
6,500,
gallons
of
monthly
average
usage
that
represents
about
the
average
citywide
for
water
use.
I
want
to
understand
that
projected
rates
are
estimates
only
they're
based
upon
limited
survey
survey
information
and
to
fill
in
some
of
those
blanks.
We
went
ahead
and
used
an
average
increase
of
6.5
percent.
F
F
So
looking
at
that,
in
our
current
rate
analysis,
the
high
of
the
utility
surveyed
was
128
dollars
a
month
for
that
usage.
For,
if
you
totaled
the
water
and
sewer
together,
the
average
was
84
dollars
in
the
low
was
43
and
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
is
at
105.
At
that
volume.
That's
5th
out
of
the
28,
as
the
proposed
rate
plan
is
implemented
in
year
5.
What
starts
to
happen
is,
with
those
lower
increases
of
2.9
percent.
F
We
start
to
move
down
towards
the
middle
of
the
range
and
finally,
by
10
years,
were
actually
less
than
average,
with
this
proposed
rate
plan.
So
in
summary,
in
future
years,
our
low
inflationary
increase
we're
proposing
will
serve
to
meet
our
needs
while
bringing
us
closer
to
the
area
average
and
into
the
future.
It
allow
us
to
be
less
than
average
for
our
rates
conclusions.
No
future
increases
leaves
insufficient
funding.
We
found
that
the
operating
fund
balance
would
be
exhausted
by
fiscal
year.
28
we'd
have
inadequate
debt
coverage
for
our
existing
bonds.
F
An
approximately
20
million
of
that
58
million
dollar
CIP
could
not
be
completed
without
additional
debt.
Inflationary
increases,
as
proposed,
would
allow
us
to
complete
our
CIP
without
debt
and
provide
that
critical
funding
for
ongoing
system
sustainability.
In
a
final
point,
the
budget
advisory
committees
reviewed
and
recommends
the
plan,
as
proposed.
A
You
thank
you,
mister
liquors,
mr.
Smith.
Mr.
herring
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
conducting
the
study
and
we
are
able
to
reduce
the
water
and
sewer
increase
rate
from
six
point.
Seven,
five
to
five
points,
therefore
2019
and
then
for
2020.
It
got
even
further
two
point:
nine
I
think
it's
great
and
again.
The
question
that
everybody
has
is
how
we
compare
ourselves
to
the
other
cities,
and
you
had
a
perfect
example.
A
X
L
My
name
is
Gary
Williams
I
live
in
1419,
Fox,
Run,
Drive,
I'm,
retired
military
and
Social
Security
I
have
a
fixed
income.
It's
nowhere
near
what
you're
talking
about
at
any
rate,
I
brought
with
me
my
2005
january/february
water
bill,
which
I
use
2.63
as
far
as
the
usage
is
concerned,
and
it
cost
me
forty
seven
dollars
and
59
cents.
L
Okay,
I
brought
my
April
water
bill
with
me,
where
I
use
2.18,
which
is
less
than
the
previous
one,
and
it
cost
me
eighty
seven
dollars
and
twelve
cents.
That's
double
of
what
I
was
paying
thirteen
years
ago
now.
I
realized
everything
cost
more
money.
But
if
you
live
on
a
fixed
income,
it
doesn't
matter
because
you
only
got
so
much.
You
can't
go
up
now.
I,
look
back
to
2010
when
people
were
losing
their
homes
and
they
were
all
told
that
they
bought
a
house.
They
couldn't
afford.
L
L
It
went
up
to
a
thousand
dollars,
not
because
the
interest
on
my
house,
not
because
of
prints
alone,
my
house,
but
because
the
government
allowed
insurance
companies
to
increase
my
costs
and
they
themselves
kept
raising
how
much
I
had
to
pay
to
keep
them
in
business.
So
as
you
do
your
thing,
whether
I'm,
right
or
wrong,
or
anything
else,
just
remember
some
people
don't
have
the
luxury
of
having
more
money
to
pay
more
money.
We
just
got
what
we
got
and
that's
all
we're
going
to
happen
to
the
day
we
die.
Thank
you
thank.
J
M
Isabella
Chappell
suka
one
one
zero
one
is
so
good
streets
I
also
brought
with
me
two
bills
from
2016
February
and
this
year
and
I
hope
you
know
water
usage
pretty
much
the
same,
but
the
bill
was.
The
difference
is
$14
bill,
so
two
years
$14
and
we
are
expecting
to
have
like
one
hundred
and
$50
bills.
You
know
pretty
much
soon
with
the
increases.
It's
really
you
know
significant.
M
My
question
or
the
concerns
are
I.
Remember
that
there
was
a
plan
for
this
insemination
water
facility
that
we
were
promised
that
there
will
be
no
increases,
that
our
water
bills
will
be
low,
comparing
to
other
cities.
So
what's
happening
with
this,
we
have
probably
facility
that
is
working,
but
still
we
are
expecting
some
increases.
Secondly,
when
I
purchased
my
home
15
years
ago,
there
was
a
time
that
there
was
this
against.
You
were
sewer
project.
I
was
charged
over
$1,800
for
the
impact
fees
and
I
had
to
destroy
one
year
old
sewer
system.
M
Don't
think
that
you
know
those
increases
should
be
justified
and
again
there
is
the
sewer
project
going
on
again
in
our
neighborhood
and
I'm,
having
actually
losses
because,
as
I
mentioned,
I
have
cracks
in
my
homes
and
you
know:
I
have
trash
back,
you
know,
front
yard,
etc.
So
I
think
that
someone
actually
needs
to
think,
and
you
know,
do,
calculations
of
how
much
we
can
endure
as
residents
and
how
much
more
increases
we
can.
Actually
you
know
take.
Thank
you.
Thank.

K
My
name
is
Gregory
Barnes,
so
they
were
1281
Windy
base,
Sean
the
new
tarpon
key
community
up
here
in
Tarpon
Springs,
Florida,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
commissioners
and
city
officials
for
hearing
us
today
on
an
issue
we've
been
dealing
with
in
a
tarp
and
key
community
for
a
few
years.
Now.
To
be
blunt,
our
water
bills
are
excessively
high,
so
much
so
that
some
of
our
neighbors
are
considering
moving
away
from
Tarpon.
K
Springs
I
was
born
and
raised
in
this
area,
but
my
military
assignments
assignments
required
me
to
live
in
various
parts
of
the
country
on
my
last
assignment
in
Arizona,
where
there
are
scarce
amounts
of
water
and
the
water
came
from
different
states,
my
bill
never
reached
over
$65
a
month.
Likewise,
many
of
our
residents
are
from
other
parts
of
the
country
and
even
other
parts
of
Florida,
and
never
had
to
endure
three
hundred
four
hundred
five
hundred
dollars
or
more
water
bills
on
a
monthly
basis.
K
Personally
speaking,
my
water
bill
is
over
31
percent
of
my
utility
bill.
It's
more
than
my
electric
bill.
It's
more
than
my
gasoline
bill.
My
family
cell
phone
and
data
plan
bill
many
months
is
more
than
my
cable
and
internet
package.
Something
is
not
right
when
your
fault,
when
your
water
bill
competes
with
a
new
car
payment,
no
it
used
to
be
the
two
most
expenses
or
investments.
A
person
when
making
their
life
is
their
home.
Their
automobile
here
in
tarpon
springs
at
your
home
in
the
water,
along
with
their
current
excessively
high
water
rates.
K
There
are
building
concerns
too,
concerning
the
citizens
who
do
not
have
reclaimed
water.
Like
many
of
us
and
as
many
of
us
in
the
tarkman
Key
community
that
are
here,
the
sewer
rate
seems
to
be
based
upon
total
water
consumption
when
we
know
that
not
all
residential
water
is
going
in
a
sewer
system.
This
type
of
false
assumption
allows
the
city
to
knowingly
overcharge
its
citizens,
and
we
can't
do
anything
about
it.
K
Also
shouldn't
there
be
a
line
item
and
their
invoice
for
the
cost
of
garbage
collection,
because
I
don't
understand
where
that's
being
charged
or
how
that's
being
paid
I,
don't
see
it
in
any
bill.
It's
like
it's
invisible
into
the
utility
system.
We
fear
that
data
is
being
represented
to
you
unrealistically.
K
We
could
have
the
water
department
give
you
a
listing
of
actual
billed
amounts
in
tarp
and
key
community
versus
other
communities.
I'd
like
to
know,
are
you
aware,
and
are
you
are
comfortable
with
residents
spending
three
four
five
hundred
dollars
or
more
a
month
on
water,
especially
when
other
communities
and
other
people
we've
asked
all
of
our
neighbors
we've
all
asked.
Other
people
live
in
Tarpon
Springs.
What's
your
water
bill,
they
must
be
on
reclaimed
water,
because
it's
it's
it's
significantly
less
many
times
it's
under
a
hundred
dollars
a
month.
K
We
could
look
at
the
the
difference
in
a
water
usage
rates
with
the
citizens
with
reclaim
water
versus
those
without
reclaim
water.
We
believe
the
evidence
will
show
a
remarkable
difference.
We
know
that
not
all
water
is
going
into
the
sewer
system
and
we
shouldn't
be
charged
for
it
like
it
does.
Some
of
our
citizens
or
residents
have
even
inquired
about
adding
an
additional
meter
to
measure
irrigation
water
in
an
attempt
to
avoid
an
improperly
charged
sewer
fee.
Yet
with
irrigation
meter,
this
water
from
the
exact
same
water
source,
is
charged
at
a
higher
rate.
K
They
actually
defeats
the
purpose.
So
in
closing
I
we
my
family
and
I'm,
sure
many
of
the
other
tarp
NK
communities.
We
wholeheartedly
do
not
support
increased
water
rates
when
the
current
rates
are
too
high.
Our
budgets
are
stressed.
The
building
system
is
far
from
perfect.
We
really
need
some
relief,
not
more
pain.
We
urge
you
to
vote
against
any
future
water
weight
increases.
Thank
you.
Thank.

AB
David
Hamilton,
904,
West,
wins
Boulevard
I'm
here
tonight
with
also
some
of
our
neighbors
that
share
the
same
views
I'm.
Also
a
member
of
your
budget,
Advisory
Committee
and
I
am
NOT
speaking
on
behalf
of
that
committee.
I
want
you
to
know
that
when
this
matter
was
dealt
with,
I
was
absent.
Should
free
me
to
speak
as
a
resident
tonight
and
only
a
resident.
AB
Is
that
clear,
wonderful,
I
looked
at
the
report
that
you
have
online
because
I
received
the
piece
of
paper
that
told
me
to
go
onto
your
website,
so
the
one
I'm
referring
to
is
a
partial
version
of
the
one
that
we
saw
tonight
on
the
screen.
But
if
you
click
on
your
front
page
on
your
home
page,
it
says
public
hearing
tonight
and
there's
a
20
page
PDF
report.
AB
So
if
you
wonder
what
I'm
referring
to
that's
what
I'm,
referring
to
on
the
report
on
page
four,
it
lists
nine
capital
projects
that
are
highlighted
at
23.5
million
dollars.
Tonight.
We
heard
also
that
this
proposed
ordinance
would
fund
about
58
million
dollars
there
weren't
a
lot
of
details
on
the
missing
thirty
four
point:
five
million
dollars
that
I
could
see
and
I
would
urge
you
to
find
what
those
details
are
before
you
commit
to
a
long-range
plan
to
jack
up
our
rates.
AB
It
also
talks
about
five
new
positions
and
three
upgrades
to
existing
positions.
All
well
and
good.
Again,
no
costing
provided
they're
just
mentioned.
What
I
think
you
really
need
to
do.
Commissioners
is
have
one
chart
that
shows
how
much
money
will
be
coming
in
if
you
don't
increase
the
rates.
What
your
projected
expenditures
are
how
much
money
will
be
coming
in
if
you
do
increase
the
rates
and
what
your
expected
projections
are
pro-forma
analysis,
pretty
straightforward,
you
can
do
it
on
one
page.
AB
So
what
I
did
is
something
simple:
I
just
took
the
different
rates
and
applied
them
to
essentially
a
$50
bill
roughly,
rather
than
get
an
average
water
meter
bill,
just
a
$50
bill,
something
you
might
find
in
your
own
wallet
and
added
your
annual
increase
that
you're
proposing
to
that
$50
bill
and,
at
the
end
the
$50
bill
required
sixty
six
dollars
and
fifty
four
cents.
Well,
it
doesn't
sound
like
a
lot
of
money
and
percentages.
AB
Sound
innocent,
but
the
ordinance
from
my
math
and
I
stand
to
be
corrected,
means
that
if
you
approve
this
you're
approving
a
thirty
three
percent
rate
increase
in
the
water
bill
by
the
end
of
this
lifecycle.
Think
about
that
know.
Where
did
I
see
any
of
the
compounding
analysis?
You
should
know
what
you're
voting
on,
but
also
what
you're
doing
is
adding
on
to
what
I
believe
and
many
apparently
here
agree
with
me.
Your
water
rates
are
already
too
high
when
we
move
to
tarpon
springs.
We
had
a
lot
of
wonderful
surprises.
AB
We
love
living
here.
We've
met
most
of
you.
We
came
here
because
we
love
the
place,
fell
in
love
with
it,
but
one
of
the
surprises
we'd
receive
that
wasn't
so
pleasant
was
our
first
utility
bill.
We'd,
never
seen
one
that
high.
Yes,
there's
other
things
rolled
into
it,
including
garbage
and
sanitation,
but
we've
lived
elsewhere
and
all
these
things
are
there,
but
water
and
sewer
stood
out
as
high
I
thought.
How
did
that
happen?
Well,
on
page.
AB
A
D
AB
AB
If
you
had
put
the
last
rate
increase
in
place
that
it
projects
you're
talking
about
lowering
it
to
five
percent,
so
you've
already
jacked
up
rates,
roughly
a
hundred
and
twenty
four
percent
since
2010
think
carefully
before
you
put
them
up
again
as
I
understand
it
in
a
public
hearing
on
an
ordinance
you
have
to
vote
up
or
down,
you
can't
amend
it,
it
has
to
be
as
it
was
advertised.
Is
that
correct?
G
AB
J
O
Once
again,
Steve
Williams
14:11
Fox
run
driver,
basically
just
echoing
the
same
sentiment.
I
bought
my
house
1994
and
my
water
bills,
damn
near
tripled,
I,
don't
use
more
water,
but
the
price
is
almost
tripled,
because
your
if
you
check
your
minimum,
it
used
to
be
$30.
What's
the
minimum
now
guarantee
you
it's
nowhere
near
$30?
O
O
AC
Hello,
Lori
Schrader
I
live
at
one
2:09
windy,
Bay,
shoal
I'm
in
the
tarp
and
key
community
I
bought
my
home
December
of
16
was
when
I
moved
in
I
am
a
single
woman.
I
have
no
children,
I
have
no
pets.
I
have
no
anybody.
I
have
to
take
care
of
I.
Have
a
regular
house.
I
travel
three
to
four
days
every
week,
so
I'm
not
in
my
home
to
take
showers.
Dirty
dishes
walk
wash
clothes.
They
do
that
stuff.
AC
I
moved
in
I
set
the
water
to
water,
as
we
were
told
by
the
developer,
to
make
your
new
lawn
grow
and
I
wash
about
one
dishwasher
full
of
dishes
per
week,
because
it
takes
that
long
for
one
person
to
fill
up
a
dishwasher
I
average
about
two
loads
of
laundry
I.
Do
not
wash
my
car
at
home.
I
do
not
wash
my
porch
my
windows,
my
anything
and
my
water
bill.
I
almost
had
a
heart
attack
was
over
$800
the
first
month,
I
moved
in
and
I
took
a
look
at
it.
AC
Half
of
that
was
$400
for
water
usage
and
$400
for
sewer.
Now
the
water
I
put
on
my
lawn
I
am
sure
equals
at
least
90%
of
what
that
water
usage
is
okay,
I'm,
not
in
the
house.
A
lot
I
take
regular
showers
and
occasional
this,
and
that
something
needs
to
be
done
about
the
water
that
people
are
using
in
their
home.
AC
If
they're
not
using
the
sewer
to
wash
their
dishes
wash
your
clothes
take
their
showers
watch,
their
dogs
watch
their
whatever
their
car,
whatever
it
is
not
going
into
the
sewer
it's
going
into
the
ground
which
becomes
groundwater
again,
okay,
and
that
is
just
I've,
never
heard
of
that.
Ever
so
knee
jerk
reaction
I
went
to
the
city.
How
often
can
I
water?
AC
You
cannot
water
once
a
week,
so
I
set
my
clocks
to
what
the
city
said
we
can
do
and
all
my
grass
is
dying
so
now
I
get
nasty
letters
from
the
Association
saying
you're
going
to
get
fined.
If
you
don't
make
your
want
your
lawn
look.
Nice
and
green
I
can't
afford
the
water
that
it
takes
to
make
it
green
I
can't
afford
the
association
violation,
fines,
I,
don't
want.
AC
Z
Thank
you
all
sherry
Spaulding
I'm,
also
from
the
tarpon
key
community,
1251
windy,
Bay
shal
I,
just
want
to
hear
have
my
voice
heard
as
well.
Single
person,
I
travel
for
work,
don't
use
water
very
much
and
I
side.
The
house
don't
run
my
dishwasher,
like
Laurie
to
two
loads
of
laundry
tops
a
week.
My
bills,
since
2015
averages
about
$300
a
month,
came
from
upstate
New
York
with
30
dollars
a
quarter
water
bills,
so
it
was
shocking,
had
I
known
it
certainly
would
have
factored
into
my
decision
to
to
move
to
tarp
and
key.
Z
J
AD
AD
So
what
is
what's?
What's
going
on
here,
I
I
have
talked
to
people
who
live
in
Tarpon
Springs.
They
have
a
$60
water
bill.
We
haven't
ever
seen
a
$60
water
bill
ever
when
we
first
moved
in
I
think
the
bill
was
$1,000
yeah
$1,000
to
water,
our
lawn.
Then
we
started.
We
went
on
the
massive
okay.
We
if
we
don't
finish
a
glass
of
water,
that
plants
gonna
get
watered
with
that
water.
We
turn
off
the
water
when
we
use
the
toothbrush.
AD
You
know
we
do
admit
to
taking
a
shower
once
a
day,
but
that's
for
the
good
of
the
world.
I
I,
just
think
that
tarpon
springs
should
have
thought
about
the
consequences
or
not
the
consequences,
but
what
the
reaction
would
be
paying
for
this
reverse
osmosis
plant
I
mean
why
wasn't
that
factored
in?
That's
my
question
and
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
it?
Thank.
AE
Wendy
Criss
sad,
oh
6-1-6,
Palm,
Avenue
tarpon
springs
I'm,
echoing
everything
that
everybody's
saying
here,
the
sewer
usage,
the
charges-
I,
don't
understand
it,
we're
putting
very
little
down
our
sewer,
yet
we're
paying
for
it,
and
we
have
you
can
look
it
up
and
you
can
see
how
many
times
the
water
people
have
been
at
our
house
constantly
over
issues
with
just
dirty
water
I've
been
living
there
for
29
years
and
we've
had
problems.
The
water
department's
been
phenomenal.
AE
Wonderful
I
applaud
them,
they've
been
kind
and
helpful,
but
yet
it's
very
frustrating
to
have
to
pay
these
bills,
and
my
suggestion
would
be
all
of
you
are
very
smart.
That's
why
you're
here
creative
people
come
up
with
an
idea
for
the
people
who
aren't
using
that
putting
it
down
the
drain
come
up
with
something
creative.
You
know
to
help
the
people
that
aren't
doing
it.
There's
got
to
be
an
answer.
There's
got
to
be
a
way.
AE
A
Q
Want
to
thank
you
all
for
coming
here
tonight.
I
know
it's
late
and
I'm
sure
you
all
have
better
things
to
do.
I'm
not
needed
to
know,
though,
to
think
any
anything
I
say
besides
building
nose,
doing
going
to
please
you
but
I
want
to
give
some
perspective.
I
know
when
my
wife
and
I
were
looking
for
a
new
home
about
two
years
ago.
We
looked
at
our
pancake
at
this
beautiful
property
there,
but
it
was
too
expensive.
So
we
looked
over
in
the
sense
of
Hills
area
with
a
with
live
awful
oleander.
Q
Once
you
were
from
this
gentleman
right
right,
right,
right
right
here
in
our
due
diligence
period.
Well,
like
everyone
does,
we
got
copies
of
the
water
bill
of
the
house,
we're
going
to
buy
and
it
was
like
five
hundred
bucks
a
month
and
I
said
you
know.
This
is
crazy
on
but
I
look
at
the
condo
for
ten
years
here
in
Tarpon,
so
I
wasn't
used
to
this.
D
Q
Q
Okay,
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
what
to
do,
but
that's
something
I
would
address
with
your
HOA.
That
was
the
only
way,
please
don't
clap.
That
was
the
only
way
that
we
in
in
my
house,
off
all
the
inter
drive
to
prevent
a
500
water
bill.
Was
it
bigger,
well
cost
about
two
thousand
dollars?
That's
not
cheap,
but
I.
Don't
I,
don't
plan
to
move
again,
you
know
so
I'm.
In
my
a
my
in
my
wife
waters
along
like
it's
gonna
die
tomorrow.
Q
So
in
my
mind,
my
water
bill
is
about
150
a
month
and
I
have
two
and
I
have
two
young
daughters.
Where
did
were
doin
laundry
every
day?
So
was
the
irrigation
well
for
us
that
really
was
the
answer.
So
again,
if
you
have
HOA
covenants
against
that,
you
know,
I
can't
speak
to
that.
You're
right,
your
your
HOA
covenants
supersede
our
our
ordinances,
but
if
I
was
a
resident
in
Tarpon
K,
which
is
a
very
beautiful
community
I
would
I
would
bring
that
up.
Q
If
you
have
the
ability
to,
of
course,
you
know
you
gotta
know
if
there's
well
water
there
tivat
to
to
begin
with.
Let's
say
you
can't
do
that
as
far
as
not
increasing
the
water
are
not
going
in
the
director,
though,
though,
though,
though,
a
direction
forward,
if
we
do
nothing,
I
guarantee
you
and
rightfully
so
half
he
would
be
back
here
in
four
years
when
there's
a
problem
with
the
water.
Well,
there's
a
problem
with
with
the
drainage
systems.
That's
what
we
have
to
do
have
to
to
support
water
and
drainage
in
the
city.
Q
If
you
look
at
the
averages,
we
are
well
within
the
median
of
Tampa
Bay.
Otherwise
we
we
we
we.
We
would
not
support
that.
So
you
know
III
would
look
into
getting
that
change
where
you
can
dig
it
well,
as
I
was
in
your
same
situation
with
that.
High
of
a
water
bill
and
that
and
that's
what
saved
me
and
but
we,
but
it,
though,
though,
though,
if
we
do
nothing
that
that's
not
an
option,
we
are
a
full-service
city,
we're
not
telling
a
see
in
DC.
We
can't
just
print
money.
Q
We
have
to
have
money
to
support
operations
and
also
it
would
have
this
reverse
osmosis
plant
we'd
have
very
little
control
over
the
quality
of
your
water
and
how
much
it
costs,
because
we
would
be
purchasing
it
from
Pinellas
County.
So
you
know
why
I
get
on
I'm
not
trying
to
shirk
on
something
and
a
water
increases
braked.
If
you
look
at
the
grand
scheme
of
things,
I
would
prefer
having
something
that
we
have
local
local
control
over
as
opposed
to
buying
it
from
the
county,
where
we
have
no
control
over
that.
Q
S
Well,
thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
being
here
tonight.
I
know,
you're,
all
you
know
concerned
about
the
situation.
I
as
well
has
have
a
well
in
my
yard.
So
you
know
what
I'm
hearing
all
of
your
your
cost
of
your
bills
that
I'm,
just
like,
oh,
my
goodness,
I,
have
to
only
a
two-person
household
and
my
bill.
Remember
its
water,
sewer
and
garbage,
and
it's
what
ninety
to
a
hundred
dollars
a
month.
S
Believe,
that's
that's
what
the
issue
is
the
us
having
well
water
and
it's
not
reclaimed
because
I
don't
have
reclaimed
in
my
subdivision,
so
I
think
I
mean
that
that
looks
like.
That
is
what
the
issue
is.
But
if
you
look
at
the
increase
that
we're
talking
about
you
know
it
was,
we
were
originally
was
approved
for
six
point:
seven
five
and
now
we're
taking
it
down
to
five
and
we're
spreading
it
out
through
the
years
to
help
you
know
to
make
it
the
make
the
increase
a
little
easier
for
everybody
to
handle.
I
F
Reclaimed
water
is
not
a
moneymaker,
that's
for
sure
I
don't
have
exact
figures,
but
to
give
you
a
sense
reclaimed.
Water
is
about
one-twentieth
the
cost
of
adding
water
plus
sewer
together.
It
certainly
doesn't
pay
its
own
way,
but
it
is
a
very
environmentally
conscious
way
for
us
to
reuse
our
treated
wastewater.
So
for
that.
S
F
Thinking
that
might
be
part
of
the
explanation,
but
I
will
say
this
I
think
a
lot
of
the
concern.
You
all
explained
it
very
well,
but
it's
with
the
structure
of
the
rates.
It's
a
conserving
water
rate
structure,
it's
called
an
inclining
block
structure
and
what
that
means
is
there's
the
essential
use,
the
use
that
you
need
to
live,
you're,
cooking,
bathing,
the
basics
that
first
5,000
is
half
the
cost
of
the
next
5,000.
So
things
start
to
get
very
expensive.
F
As
you
get
up
past
5,000
and
10,000,
the
cost
per
thousand
gallons
goes
up
substantially.
I
do
want
to
make
another
point
and
that's
supported
by
our
Water
Management
District.
In
fact,
it's
even
required
if
we
want
to
get
some
of
their
funding,
is
that
we
have
some
sort
of
conserving
rate
structure.
S
S
And
and
now
that
we
have
our
own
water
plan,
as
vice
mayor
stated,
these
increases
are
probably
lower
than
what
the
county
would
charge
us.
So
I
think
you
know
and
I
know
it's
hard.
You
know
it's
hard
on.
Everybody
I
understand
that.
But
honestly,
if
we,
if
we
kept
buying
our
water
from
the
county,
I
think
our
rates
would
would
increase
a
lot
more
than
what
we're
asking
here
tonight,
but
I
like
to
hear
what
my
fellow
colleagues
have
to
say
as
well.
Thank
you
thank.
T
I
agree
with
this,
as
far
as
having
our
own
water
and
having
control
of
our
own
water
and
and
the
cost
of
having
our
own
water
as
opposed
to
buying
it
from
the
county.
I
think
we're
saving
money.
I
noticed
here
that
you
also
said
something
about
a
monthly
sewer
rate
for
those
without
water
service,
or
there
would
be
a
flat
sewer
wait.
F
T
A
T
T
J
V
F
Has
to
do
with
homes
that
don't
have
a
water
meter,
so
there's
no
basis
to
build
the
sewer,
so
this
is
a
flat
monthly
rate
for
a
home
with
sewer
service,
only
one
that
perhaps
has
a
well
to
meet
their
water
supply
needs.
This
is
certainly
not
a
majority
of
our
customers.
These
are
certain
limited
cases
where
we
don't
have
a
water
meter.
Here,
it's.
V
There's
a
few
things
that
concern
me.
Obviously,
raising
rising
prices
are
never
a
an
exciting
thing
from
taxes
to
cellphone
bills,
at
food
costs,
to
energy
costs,
to
anything
else
that
we're
out
spending
money
on
it's
concerning.
As
a
commissioner
I've
grown
up
in
Tarpon
Springs,
my
parents
complained
about
it.
Growing
up,
I've
got
an
aging
grandmother,
who's
on
a
fixed
income
as
well
here
in
Tarpon
Springs,
and
these
obviously
concerned
me,
but
then
we
watched
the
news
in
st.
V
V
These
have
all
been
done
based
on
our
water
rates,
although
we're
not
super
excited
about,
but
we're
out
of
the
news,
because
we're
not
we're
being
proactive
and
addressing
these
situations.
So
these
other
cities
are
gonna,
see
a
high,
a
much
higher
impact
with
these
costs
rising
in
the
near
future,
because
the
costs
are
going
to
go
up
to
make
these
investments
in
our
structures.
I
asked
mr.
Smith
to
do
a
survey
because
again
growing
up
in
here
in
Tarpon,
Springs
people
have
told
me:
tarpon
has
high
rates
and
I'm
just
like
look
I.
V
Don't
I
can't
talk
about
that.
Yet
I
don't
have
the
backup
data
and
it
does
prove
currently
today
we're
fifth
in
the
area
of
our
water
rates.
So
I
was
surprised
about
that.
I
thought
that
was
a
bit
high,
but
it
was
good
to
me
to
see
in
the
projection
that
and
year
five
were
creeping
down
and
by
year,
ten
towards
the
end
of
our
proposal.
Here,
that's
presented
tonight
that
we're
at
going
to
be
in
the
18th
position
out
of
28.
So
at
that
point
we're
below
the
average.
V
One
of
the
things
that,
as
a
commissioner
I,
feel
that
it's
important
is
to
provide
the
best
water
quality
to
our
citizens
and
residents
of
Tarpon
Springs
and
without
having
an
investment
in
our
infrastructure.
I
find
that
difficult
to
stand
behind
I
completely
understand
the
frustrations
with
watering
our
lawns.
My
dad
is
a
landscaper
and
he's
made
a
living
and
support
my
family
along
with
my
mother,
and
gave
me
an
opportunity
to
buy
a
house
in
Tarpon,
Springs
and
start
a
growing
family
here.
V
So
I
do
understand
the
beautification
aspect
of
watering
our
lawns
and
how
it's
an
important
part
of
the
community
and
having
a
beautiful
community
I
struggle
with
both
aspects,
because
beautification
is
an
important
aspect
but
then
also
having
a
good
water
system
is
also
a
very
important
aspect.
I.
V
V
One
thing
I
would
like
to
ask
the
city
manager:
is
there
I,
believe
five
or
six
positions
that
are
proposed?
Is
there?
Is
this
something
that
we
could
look
at
from
a
general
fund
standpoint
instead
of
the
water
bills,
paying
these
positions
in
the
future
or
in
this
situation
today?
Have
we
evaluated
that
and
what
the
impact
would
be
at
all
without
adding
these
into
the
water
fund?
Well,.
X
I'm
not
so
sure
we
get
information,
the
difference,
the
really
the
positions
are
gonna
make,
and
we
can
kind
of
look.
Does
that
make
a
big
deal
of
the
difference
when
you're
talking
about
the
whole
picture
or
not
it'd
be
tough
to
put
it
in
the
general
fund
and
again
these
as
you've
seen
before
and
when
they
come
up.
X
These
are
shovel
the
ground
type
positions
to
do
all
the
projects
we
want
to
do,
and
you
know
when
all
the
commuters
finish
I'm
gonna,
give
the
history
lesson
of
this
and
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
I
was
going,
but
these
are
essential
to
get
the
project
done.
The
many
projects
and
believe
me
will
have
them
on
the
website
pretty
soon
we'll
have
all
the
projects
we've
done
in
the
last
ten
years,
a
little
more
detail
of
what
we're
doing,
because
we've
got
old
infrastructure.
X
This
is
this:
is
old
infrastructure
we're
dealing
with
in
town
and
we
had
a
City
Commission
ten
years
ago.
That
was
very
courageous.
It
was
probably
one
of
those
courageous
commissions
and
I
was
just
coming
in
a
city
manager,
of
course,
from
the
law
enforcement
realm
coming
in,
and
here
we
were
coming
to
the
public
with
these
raises
of
for
water
and
sewer
of
ten
percent
at
nine
percent,
eight
percent
for
ten
years.
Why
were
they
courageous
because
they
knew
we
had
an
old
infrastructure
system?
X
They
knew
we
had
kept
the
rates
lower
than
we
should
have
in
the
past
years.
They
knew
we're
not
gonna
catch
up
and
we're
gonna
sit
in
the
situation
like
a
bunch
of
cities
in
Pinellas.
County
are
scrambling
for
and
as
you
watch
those
cities
I'll
guarantee
you,
their
rates
are
gonna,
go
drastic,
look
because
they
got
to
make
up
for
the
past.
It
was
courageous
when
I
as
a
new
city
manager,
Commission
brought
that
forward,
and
we
made
a
promise
and
it's
one
of
those
promises
that
we
were
going
to
try
to
keep.
X
But
in
the
back
of
my
mind
and
I
really
didn't
think
I'd
be
there
ten
years
later
to
see
if
the
problem
promise
worked
or
not,
but
the
promise
was
and
I
know.
Somebody
said
here:
we
promise
the
water
plant
was
going
to
stop
them.
We
did
not
promise
that
we
promised
once
we
got
the
water
planted,
we
could
control
it
that
we
were
gonna,
keep
the
increases
that
are
very
minimal
possible,
which
is
this
inflationary
rate
they
thought
about.
X
Now
we
thought
is
going
to
be
more
like
the
four
percent
rate,
but
we're
even
able
to
get
on
to
keep
the
promise
we
promise
with
all
those
rates,
we're
not
only
gonna
fix
the
infrastructure,
we're
not
only
going
to
be
a
place
where
you
didn't
see
sewer
going
into
the
streets.
You
can
see
none
of
that
we're
the
lowest
city
of
losing
sewers
in
the
street,
while
other
cities
were
flooded
with
it,
because
we
have
spent
ten
years
spending
that
money
on
our
on
our
infrastructure,
our
water
and
sewer
system.
X
X
Is
we
got
to
put
up
those
two
charts
because
here's
the
chart
for
the
last
ten
years
of
all
these
ten
nine
eight
percent
increases
we're
promising
you,
the
next
ten
years,
they're
going
to
be
the
minimum
of
of
inflationary
rate
that
you
do
for
anything,
the
normal
costs
that
go
up
to
point
nine
percent
see
if
any
other
cities
are
going
to
do
that
we
kept
our
promise.
We
put
the
infrastructure
in.
We
spent
a
lot
of
money.
X
There
are
still
people
over
on
this
side
of
City
Hall
they're,
finally
going
to
get
their
projects
and
stuff
that
they've
been
waiting
for
it
till
we
got
the
money,
so
it
was
a
courageous
Commission
and-
and
we
have
done
everything
possible
to
bring
the
is
raised
to
you.
Where
have
you
heard
of
a
city
I
mean
the
rates
were
already
set
this
coming
year
for
six
point,
we
were
able
to
even
drop
it
now.
X
V
V
One
thing
I
would
like
to
discuss
before
we
move
on
is
or
bring
up,
is
to
look
at
some
type
of
grant
program
out
of
the
general
fund
for
low
fixed
income
residents
of
some
sort
and
then
secondly,
look
at
an
opportunity
to
do
some
type
of
grant
program
for
any
residents
that
are
interested
in
looking
at
a
well
similar
to
how
we
did
a
solar,
co-op
in
area.
I
think
it
would
be
interesting
to
do
some
type
of
co-op
for
well
drilling
I'm,
not
really
sure
how
we
can
do
that.
V
We
can
do
that
yeah,
so
that's
an
important
part,
I
think
to
discuss
and
make
sure
we
put
on
the
future
agendas
at
the
end
of
this
really,
with
inflation
rate
below
what
are
actually
inflation,
with
our
inflation
rate,
cost
of
2.9
percent
to
the
residents
and
when
it's
actually
below
the
four
point,
three
cost
that
we're
seeing.
Overall,
it's
a
hard
though,
but
I
do
see
the
importance
to
invest
in
our
infrastructure
and
continue
to
have
quality
water
and
sewer
services
for
the
residents.
V
So
I'm,
sorry
to
the
residents
that
spoke
today,
but
I
will
have
to
support
this
increase
today.
I,
don't
view
it
as
an
increase,
but
I
know
it
hit
your
pocket,
but
the
cost
of
these
to
supply
quality
water
to
the
residents
and
supply
that
the
sewage
to
the
residents
is
something
that
we
have
to
do,
and
it's
not
a
fun
position
as
a
commissioner
to
do.
But
it's
something
that
I
realized
that
we
have
to
do
to
continue
to
have
the
water
that
we
have
today.
J
A
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
tonight.
It
is.
It
is
very
difficult
to
understand
that
a
a
water
bill
is
eight
hundred
eight
hundred
dollars
a
month
for
any
household
and
I.
I
cannot
see
that
the
HOA
does
not
allow
you
to
have
a
water.
I
mean
a
well
in
order
to
be
able
to
water
your
plant
yeah.
This
is
not
something
that
we
can
control,
but
this
is
maybe
something
that
you
can
actually
bring
you
back
and
allow
them
to
do
that.

And
again,
mayor
we'd
be
glad
I
mean
this
is
the
first
I've
heard
of
anybody
from
Tarpon
key
bringing
up
this
issue.
I,
don't
know
if
you've
heard
of
it
pong
stuff,
but
but
immediately,
you
know,
we'd
be
glad
to
meet
with
the
residence
and
you
know
have
a
meeting
out
there
whoever's
involved
they
get
together
with
mr.
Smith
and
sit
down
and
look
at
your
you
know
whole
development
from
area
and
see
where
that
problem
is.
You
know
we'd
be
glad
to
do
that
and
look
at
and
offer
other
options.
X
A
I
had
on
my
notes,
just
you,
you
have
it
Tahoe
me
and
discuss
the
issues
that
you
have
because
seems
like
a
$800
a
month.
That's
ridiculous
bill
to
help.
Obviously
it's
something
that
should
have
been
done,
perhaps
that
you
must
have
a
second
meter
or
something
that
you
use
it
for
water.
That
way,
you
have
to
pay
for
the
sewer,
there's
many
other
options
that
would
no
should
be
able
to
have
to
help
the
situation.
But
again
the
HRA
should
be
part
of
a
it's
supposed
to
protect
in
this.
A
And
I
know
we're
not
going
to
have
a
discussion
now
because
she
already
spoke
and
they
only
can
be
recorded
when
you
get
to
the
podium,
sir,
but
the
more
water
you
span,
the
more
water
you
use,
the
more
sewer
you
pay.
But
if
there's
a
second
meter
you
don't
pay
for
the
sewage.
You
only
pay
for
the
usage
of
the
war.
Some.
J
V
V
Got
something
to
be
honest
with
you,
I'd
like
to
the
furthest
for
further
discussion,
because
there
that
has
been
something
that's
been
discussed,
multiple
times,
that
our
water
bills
reflect
the
income
usage
is
automatically
billed
to
the
sewer
side.
So,
to
be
honest
with
you,
I'm
not
comfortable
with
voting
on
that
part
because
I
know.
That's
part
of
this
agreement.
V
I
just
said
I
was
interested
in
supporting
this,
but
that
does
concern
me
overall
that
every
resident,
no
matter
what
they
use
in
their
yard,
they're
getting
billed
for
sewer
for
so
I
from
a
commissioner
standpoint.
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
have
a
further
discussion
and
potentially
defer
this
to
another
meeting,
to
have
better
clarification
to
see
if
we
could
restructure
that
aspect
of
it,
because
a
lot
of
obviously
how
many
people
have,
we
had
12
people
that
spoke
tonight.
V
That's
a
we
don't
have
that
many
people
show
up
to
speak
at
our
meetings,
all
it
often
and
when
we
have
that's
a
that's,
a
pretty
good
amount
of
people,
I'm
sure
there's
a
lot
more
people
that
impact
that
in
the
community,
so
I
would
find.
That
would
be
prudent
to
defer
at
least
for
another
couple
meetings,
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
sewer
bills,
because
I,
don't
think
it
makes
sense.
V
T
S
That
may
help
us
make
a
better
decision.
If
this
is
right,
alright,
because
I
I
mean
I
still
have
concerns,
at
least
the
people
in
tarp
I.
Just
don't
understand.
Is
it
really
only
that
you're
watering?
Your
lawn,
that
with
no
well,
that
your
bill
is
that
high
I
just
don't
understand
why
it's
high
so
having
the
town
hall
meeting
and
getting
together
with
mr.
Smith
I
think
it
would
be
a
first
start,
but
again,
maybe
some
other
kind
of
some
other.
Q
There's
a
special
circumstance
there,
but
but
we're
not
gonna
be
decreasing
the
rates,
so
nothing
we
do
by
deferring
it
which
I'm,
which
I'm
fine
with
is
gonna
change
their
problem.
Their
problem
is
lowering
their
lawn
I
mean
that's
the
main
issue.
We
might
be
able
to
make
tweaks
here
and
there,
but
it's
gonna
be
negligible.
They
they
they
they
they
have
to
get
with
their
HOA
and
then
with
the
city
to
see
if
wells
are
the
or
a
viable
there.
That's
what
I
had
to
do.
Q
Well,
though,
in
my
own
house
I'm
not
saying
to
do
anything
that
IIIi
haven't
done
myself,
because
after
three
or
four
water
bills
of
five
800
bucks
you
paid
for
your
well.
So
if
you
can't
dig
a
well
I
mean
you
know,
that's
that's
a
bigger
issue.
I
won't
sue
me
more
about
that,
but
I'm
fine
for
deferring
to
get
more
information,
perhaps
or
self
a
week
weekend.
We
can
do
I
absolutely
want
staff
to
do
that
to
go
out
to
tarpon
key
see
if
we
can
help
them
at
all
but
they're
there.
X
G
X
Try
to
get
the
information
we
can
if
you're
not
comfortable,
it
doesn't
pass
to
you
vote
on
the
second
reading
so,
but
that
would
be
the
meeting
I
you
defer
to
defer.
If
you
don't
have
the
answer
uncomfortable
and
then
we
can
set
a
date,
certain
don't
have
to
do
the
advertising
again
set
that
date
certain
and
do
that.
So
that's
what
I'd
recommend
we'll
get
everything
we
can
before
the
second
reading
and
then
again,
if
you
need
more,
we'll
defer
that
one
to
a
later
time
which
receiver
yes.
T
I
actually
agree
mark.
This
is
a
unique
community
and
all
of
us
are
a
little
shocked
up
here,
but
we
do
want
to
help
you,
but
we
don't
have
everybody
else
from
Tarpon
Springs
here.
So
you
know
you
guys
are
unique
and
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
deal
with
your
community
uniquely,
but
I
do
think
that
we
should
go
ahead
and
vote
on
this
tonight,
so
we
don't
prolong
it
and
then
between
now
and
the
second
reading,
we
we
do
our
due
diligence,
we
meet
with
you
and
we
get
some
answers
from
mr.
X
V
Not
just
information
that
stuff
that
we
need
to
address
is
what
needs
to
happen.
I
think
also
just
to
support
what
the
tarpon
key
community
have
said.
I've
had
residents
out
by
sunset
beach
and
also
Florida
Avenue,
that
I've
had
these
rates
or
bills
as
well
and
again
it
has
to
do
with
watering
your
lawn
yeah
because
of
the
rate
so
I
under
it,
and.
X
V
Q
X
Takes
Janette,
it
takes
two
meetings
to
approve
this
ordinance.
What
happens
on
the
first,
you
can
vote
different.
The
second
time
you
can
defer.
So
so
this
is.
This
is
about
tonight
that
you
take
four.
There
we've
had
times
when
the
second
reading.
The
vote
has
gone
completely
different,
it
doesn't
hold
to
it,
it
doesn't
hold
to
it.
You
have
to.
D
T
X
A
X
He'll
get
the
name.
We
got
some
people
here,
he'll
get
the
names
right
away
almost
immediately,
but
also
the
other
questions
from
other
day
does
not
just
Arvin.
Keep
the
other
questions.
I've
heard
the
questions.
I
know
how
my
budget
advisors
remember
likes
information
and
we'll
get
that
tomorrow.
Wish
you
two
got
to
me
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
stuff
so.
X
That,
for
me,
I
know
what
he
likes,
but
you
know
we
can
address
the
other
issue
too,
but
Commissioner
bathra
said
it
with
all
these
little
things.
You
know
it
is
what
it
is
on
there,
but
we
can
get
some
of
those
answers
to
before
the
second
reading,
for
some
of
the
other
people
that
aren't
a
few
other
ones
that
weren't
tarp
and
key
and
had
the
concerns.
X
J
A
Q
A
Q
AA
Q
So
I
would
be
in
favor
of
her
being
on
there
and
I.
Also,
you
know,
especially
with
this
board
I
know,
there's
unique
qualifications.
I
did
look
at
both
apple
Henson,
neither
like
you
know
in
case
Patricia.
What
wasn't
the
accounting
but
had
a
unique
set
both
look
similar.
So
that's
why
I
would
lean
to
the
one,
for
these
is
Academy
for
Laura.
S
A
A
A
A
Q
We
have
two
from
the
Academy
and
again
I
do
look
at
the
resume.
Oh
I
love.
All
of
them
see
if
one
sticks
out
that
would,
you
know,
supersede
Academy
attendance,
all
there's
some
that
are
different
and
most
bar
similar,
so
I
I
would
support,
was
Roberta
but
we're
just
picking
one
correct
as
altering.
Q
Then
I
would
do
Donald
Birdman
or
the
second
citizens
Academy
and
then
just
mark
side
question.
We
say
we
don't
have
applicants,
we
do
have
applicants.
I
know
III
want
to
keep
all
these
people,
obviously
for
this
budget
season,
but
we
said
we're
sending
their
terms
because
we
have
no
applicants.
We
have
well.
Q
S
A
V
A
A
Yes,
first,
we
need
to
appoint
alternate
number
one
miss
else
as
a
regular
member
chewie
stop
pointing
the
alternate
number
to
which
the
helmet
them
to
the
alternate
one
position:
a
point:
Donna
Berkman
as
alternate
number
two
and
extend
the
terms
of
Dan
Jenkins,
Roger
salut,
mark
Mary,
Peters
and
Frank.
Did
you
know
Bill
March.
T
A
A
X
It
just
it
may
delay,
because
I
think
I'm
about
to
go
through
a
whole
new
30-day
advertising
period
and
we're
gonna
have
to
start
from
square
one
on
the
the
water.
Because
that's
why
I
asked
we
go
to
second
reading
and
then,
if
we
need
the
postponed,
you
decided
not
to
do
that.
So
I'm
gonna
have
to
look
and
see
what
part
of
the
process
we
have
to
start
again.
A
Q
Some
are
going
to
fire
Ofsted
this
weekend.
I
chose
not
to
go
for
a
third
time.
I
think
twice.
Seeding
up
is
good
and
I
need
to
spend
some
time
here.
No,
it's
harpin
this
weekend,
but
I
know
I,
think
some
are
going
I'm
serving
right,
so
have
fun.
With
that.
It's
a
great
experience.
If
you
have
not
been
and
really
helps,
you
understand
what
our
firefighters
go.
A
T
I
completed
fire
ops
and
it
is
a
great
way
to
see
what
what
really
happens
when
you're
in
that
suit
and
you're
crawling
around
in
here
and
you're,
holding
a
hose
and
going
through
the
classes.
So
definitely
a
great
experience.
I
can't
make
it
this
Saturday.
We
have
a
wine
walk
that
I
have
to
work.
Unfortunately,
at.
T
T
S
Somebody
else
to
fill
in
the
Elks
Lodge
is
having
the
beach
party,
this
Saturday,
the
12th
at
Sunset
Beach
from
6
to
11,
so
Sunset
Beach,
the
beach
part
of
it.
The
sand
part
will
be
closed
unless
you
have
a
ticket
tickets
are
$20.
If
anybody
would
like
one
I
always
I
have
some
on
me,
so
I
believe
if
people
are
still
out
at
the
beach
or
they
can
stay
on,
the
causeway
is
what
I
was
being
told.
So
it's
a
fundraiser
for
local
kids
in
town
that
can't
afford
supplies
for
it.
S
They
might
play
football
or
soccer
or
baseball,
or
anything
like
that
and
this
group
that
the
Elks
joined
up
with
it's
a
501c3
group
help
children
in
our
community.
So
the
money
is
goes
to
a
good
cause.
It's
free,
hamburgers,
hot
dogs
and
sides
of
whatever
beer
and
wine
and
there'll
be
music,
and
just
it's
a
great
way.
The
community
comes
together.
It's
been
going
on
for
years.
We
stopped
it
for
about
three
or
four
years,
but
we're
starting
it
again
and
again,
it's
just
a
great
way
for
the
community
to
come
together.
