City
of
Tarpon
Springs,
Florida
Proclamation,
whereas
in
2018
an
estimated
550
5440
people
in
the
United
States
will
be
diagnosed
with
pancreatic
cancer,
one
of
the
deadliest
cancers
and
44,000
330
will
die
from
the
disease
and,
whereas
painter
attic
cancer
surpassed
breast
cancer
two
years
ago
to
become
the
third
leading
cause
of
cancer
death
in
the
United
States.
Whereas
when
symptoms
of
paint
pancreatic
cancer
presented
themselves,
it
is
generally
in
the
later
stages
and
71%
of
Pingu
Pingu.
H
Mr.
mayor
councilmembers,
my
name
is
Suzi
Swenson
in
January,
I
will
be
a
five
year
survivor
Danny
mr.
past
the
five
year.
Number
and
Karin
is
not
working
her
way
up
to
that
number.
I
just
want
to
emphasize
just
a
couple
of
the
facts
that
were
stated
in
the
proclamation
five
years
ago,
when
I
was
diagnosed
with
pancreatic
cancer,
the
survival
rate
for
me
to
live
another
five
years
was
5%.
H
Today
the
number
is
nine
percent,
so
we're
making
strides
and
your
participation
in
helping
us
make
pancreatic
cancer
an
important
cause
for
people
to
think
about.
We
are
proudly
passionate
about
our
purple
during
national
pancreatic
cancer
awareness
month
and
this
Thursday
the
15th
is
going
to
be
world
pancreatic
cancer
awareness
day.
So
I
ask
everybody
in
the
room.
Mr.
mayor
councilmembers,
were
you
purple
who
weren't
proudly
and
think
of
us
that
are
fighting
the
battle.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
C
The
service
that
receive
is
outstanding.
We
have
the
best
team,
they
provided
an
excellent
service
and
we
are
glad
and
I'm
very
happy
that
we
have
a
hospital
in
this
quality
in
tark
Spring
Joseph.
Please
thank
the
team
for
me
please,
but
today,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
it's
a
special
day
we're
here
to
initiate
a
program
from
a
senior
transportation.
It's
a
happy
day
so
I
like
to
turn
it
over
to
do
Cassandra.
I
Good
evening
Commission,
it's
always
a
pleasure
to
be
here,
it's
a
very
special
night
when
you
get
to
welcome
a
new
life
into
the
world
and
and
make
sure
that
people
can
get
access
to
healthcare
for
all
their
needs.
And
so
mr.
mayor,
we're
glad
you're
here
and
you
can
share
in
this
moment
of
providing
access
to
health
care
for
seniors
in
this
community.
I
So
they
were
at
150
percent
poverty
or
less
where
they
could
apply
to
get
rides
from
PST
A's
program
using
our
innovative
programs.
The
trips
would
have
to
begin
and
end
in
Tarpon
Springs
to
these
medical,
trips,
pharmacies
or
grocery
stores,
and
they
would
be
limited
to
two
round
trips
a
month
or
four
one-way
trips,
and
we
would
do
this
through
an
account-based
system
using
our
service
with
lyft,
United,
taxi
and
wheelchair
transport,
and
allow
people
to
book
trips
between
8
a.m.
and
4:30
p.m.
I
either
same
day
or
reserve
trips
up
to
two
weeks
in
advance.
It
would
be
fair
free
for
further
riders
because
of
this
partnership
with
the
Florida
Hospital
paying
for
the
rides,
and
it
would
service
is
proposed
to
start
at
the
beginning
of
December
on
December
3rd
in
this
item
before
you,
it
is
a
funding
agreement
between
the
city
of
Tarpon,
Springs
and
PSTA,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
there
is
an
opportunity
to
have
many
other
sponsors
of
trips
like
this
within
the
city,
and
we
want
to
keep
that
opportunity
open.
I
So
the
city,
the
sponsorship
relationship
between
the
hospital
is
with
the
city
of
tarpon
springs,
and
thank
you
so
much
mayor
for
your
hard
work
in
making
this
a
reality.
So
the
Florida
Hospital
will
be
giving
the
city
of
tarpon
springs
$20,000
for
this
for
this
service,
and
that
is
the
funding
agreement
between
PSTA
and
the
city
of
tarpon
springs
as
well.
Your
staff
has
been
excellent
in
making
sure
that
we
can
advertise
this
program
through
city
channels
and
they've
been
very
attentive
in
reviewing
all
of
the
information
about
the
program,
including
helping
us
get.
I
People
registered
for
the
program
through
the
Senior
Center
and
the
library
PSTA
in
the
meantime
has
put
together
some
additions
to
our
current
service
and
we've
hired
a
developer
to
help
us
put
the
dispatch
service
together
and
we've
started
to
take
applications,
so
they
could
manage
the
accounts
for
services
and
riders,
who
would
be
eligible
for
for
this
service
and
we're
we're
happy
to
have
this
new
service
start
and
we've
named
it
the
healthy
hop.
This
is
something
that
we've
talked
about
across
the
across
the
county.
I
Now
about
this
partnership
and
creating
this
new
program
and
I
will
tell
you
that
tarpon
springs
is
now
a
leader
in
innovative
programs
along
with
PSTA,
and
there
are
many
other
communities
that
are
going
to
be
looking
at
this
program
and
how
to
sponsor
their
own.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
innovation,
your
forward
thinking
on
this,
and
also
your
ability
to
get
private
dollars
to
provide
these
trips.
I
C
Have
questions
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
hard
work
and
I
also
want
to
thank
my
fellow
Commission's
for
supporting
this
bro.
Mr.
lacor
is
that
it
worked
very
hard
with
me
to
get
this
thing
going.
The
PhD
a
under
the
leadership
of
mr.
Miller
for
the
hospital
under
the
leadership
of
mr.
Jason's
uncle
he's
a
great
leader
because
their
contributions.
Now
we
have
a
senior
transportation
unit
our
spring.
This
program
is
three
years
in
the
making.
It
will
be
a
significant
value
to
the
senior
citizens.
C
The
next
senior
project
that
I
like
to
see
in
Tarpon
Springs
they
have
a
dedicated
Senior
Center,
a
building
to
be
used
for
this
purpose
and
to
be
placed
for
our
seniors
not
just
to
socialize,
but
also
to
provide
programs
and
services
I'm,
hoping
that
everyone
here
on
this
board.
What's
there
for
me,.
J
For
all
of
your
work
on
this
I
know,
I've
said
before,
and
now
that
I'm
on
the
PSC
board,
still
you
know
our
residents
pay.
The
same
millage
rate
is
down
County,
but
can't
get
the
same
services
because
of
our
location,
and
it's
innovative
ideas
like
this
that
help
our
residents
and
those
most
in
need.
You
know
those.
You
know,
though,
they'll
receive
the
these,
these
these
services
I'm
very
thankful
to
to
Florida,
Hospital
or
I'm.
Making
this
happen
financially
and
I
look
forward
to
other
partnerships
in
the
community
that
can
help
expand.
K
J
Know
you
know
a
senior
might
be
not
want
to
take
the
bus
to
a
doctor's
office.
This
is
a
this
is
a
more
private,
intimate
approach
to
getting
their
health
care
and
I.
Think
it's
great
and
I
look
forward
to
having
board
support
on
this
Thank
You
mayor
and
mr.
Curtis
I,
don't
know
as
well.
Thank
thank.
L
L
I
mean
how
this
is
will
help
our
seniors
and,
like
vice
mayor,
said,
you
know,
first
of
all,
it's
hard
for
them
to
get
to
the
bus,
the
buses
you
know,
depending
on
what
part
of
town
they
live
on
and
then
who
wants
to
take
a
bus
to
a
doctor's
appointment.
So
this
is
just
again
such
a
great
service
and
thank
everybody.
That's
been
involved.
B
Yes,
Thank
You,
Cassandra
I,
of
course
echo
my
commissioner's
fellow
commissioners
and
really
appreciate
this
partnership,
because
it's
it's
not
only
innovative
innovative,
it's
necessary
and
it's
going
to
be
a
great
benefit
to
our
seniors.
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
and
Mark
for
helping
on
this
project
and,
of
course,
I
want
to
thank
Florida
hospital
for
their
continued
support
of
our
community
and
in
their
partnership
and
for
this
new
service.
So
I
appreciate
it
and
it's
a
great
idea,
good
program.
Thank
you.
G
Thanks
Mary,
thank
you
for
presenting
this
and
thank
you.
Mr.
Dunkel
and
Florida
Hospital
soon-to-be
Adventist
Health
for
your
support
again
in
the
community.
I
want
to
echo
that
it
is
great
to
have
a
partner
like
you
in
the
community.
Just
a
couple
questions
mark.
Are
we
going
to
be
notifying?
Is
this
gonna
be
like
a
reminder
and
the
water
bills
going
out
to
the
residents
that
we
put
out
a
couple
times
or
inaudible.
G
G
G
M
G
N
My
couscous
is
six
to
three
East
harpin
Avenue
I
come
here
basically
for
two
reasons:
one
obviously,
you
know
I
support
the
hospital,
as
vice
chairman
of
the
board,
and-
and
this
is
part
of
their
mission-
this
is
part
of
the
hospital's
drive
to
be
a
community
partner
number
one.
It's
also
part
of
their
their
tenant.
You
know
the
healing
ministry
of
Christ,
so
they
see
this
as
a
as
an
opportunity
to
extend
what
they
do.
The
other
reason
I
think
this
is
such
a
good
program
is
I'm.
N
Actually,
a
board
certified
elder
law
attorney
and
I
deal
a
lot
with
with
seniors
and
a
lot
of
times.
It's
the
seniors
that
have
a
difficult
time
when
they
lose
their
license,
are
not
able
to
drive,
having
accessibility
to
services
that
that
sometimes
make
it
difficult
for
them
either
they
shut
in.
They
can't
afford
the
travel,
and
this
just
allows
them
to
like,
like
was
said
earlier,
the
flexibility
of
being
home
a
little
bit
longer.
So
I
want
to
thank
y'all
for
your
vision
and
as
a
as
a
resident.

Thank
you,
I've
attended,
obviously
the
procession
for
many
years
and
last
year
when
I
was
walking
around
talking
to
business
owners
and
residents.
One
of
the
concerns
was
the
accessibility
to
bathrooms.
During
this
time,
there's
a
lot
of
people
concentrated
at
the
top
of
spring
body
along
Tarpon,
Avenue,
I'm,
a
Hagen,
I
believe
advisors.
C
M
Got
one
that
we
have
now
and
that
would
be
the
plan.
We
would
take
that
one
and
put
that
in
the
economic
development
bills
and
affordable
one
that
we've
used
when
we
were
renovating.
We
brought
it
to
you.
We
had
told
you
about
purchasing
it,
that
we
have
a
lot
of
circumstances
where
we
we
renovate
restrooms
and
stuff,
so
that
would
be
a
perfect
opportunity
to
bring
that
one
down
and
put
it
next
to
there,
and
we
can
do
that.
C
C
M
C
Q
Thank
you,
Karen
lemons,
economic
development
manager
and
we're
here
tonight
to
present
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
add
another
economic
development
incentive
to
our
toolbox
that
we
think
will
help
attract
new
larger
businesses
to
the
city
and
to
help
some
of
our
existing
businesses
expand.
It's
called
the
ad
valorem
economic
development,
tax
exemption.
Q
What
it
would
do
is
authorize
the
Board
of
Commissioners
to
grant
ad
valorem
or
property
tax
exemptions
to
qualifying
new
businesses
to
the
city
and
businesses
that
are
already
in
the
city,
but
want
to
expand
that
are
creating
new
jobs.
It
allows
for
an
exemption
for
a
hundred
percent
of
the
property
taxes
and,
up
to
ten
years.
Q
It
would
also
encourage
some
of
our
local
businesses
to
expand,
because
the
program
would
provide
for
tax
exemptions
for
additions
to
buildings
and
for
new
equipment
purchases
going
along
with
that
it
would
attract
higher
wage
jobs
to
the
city,
encourage
additional
investment
and
then
enable
us
to
remain
competitive
with
our
neighboring
cities
and
counties
already
39
counties
in
Florida
offered
this
program,
including
Pinellas
and
Hillsboro,
and
about
21
cities
have
approved
the
exemption,
including
nearby
Largo,
Clearwater,
st.
Pete,
Tampa
and
Pinellas
Park
Oldsmar
currently
is
going
through
the
process.
Q
This
was
created
by
the
state
legislature
and
it's
authorized
under
state
statute.
So
a
lot
of
the
program
is
already
enabled
through
the
state
statutes.
The
statutes
require
that
any
city
that
wants
to
create
this
program
has
to
do
it
through
a
referendum.
So
we
would
need
to
put
a
referendum
question
on
the
ballot
in
March.
The
referendum.
Language
is
mandatory
and
I
put
it
up
here
for
you
to
look
at.
Essentially,
it
asks
voters
if
the
city
could
approve
property
tax
exemptions
to
new
and
existing
businesses.
Q
That's
living
taxes,
it's
only
eligible
from
brand-new
buildings
that
are
being
constructed
or
additions
to
existing
buildings
or
new
purchases,
so
land
is
not
eligible
or
replacement
equipment
is
not
eligible,
and
then
only
the
taxes
on
the
improvements
to
the
building
are
eligible.
So
you
would
continue
to
receive
the
current
property
taxes
that
we
get
on
each
on
each
property.
It's
the
incremental
value
of
the
addition
or
the
new
property
that
would
be
eligible
for
the
exemption.
Q
And
again,
the
goal
of
the
program
is
job
creation,
so
additional
requirements
there's
a
minimum
job
creation,
that's
based
on
the
industry,
that's
coming
in,
so
for
a
manufacturer
or
one
of
the
targeted
industries.
It's
a
minimum.
Ten
jobs
created
for
an
office,
that's
50
and
for
out-of-state
or
international
export
sales.
Q
So
the
next
steps
tonight
we
wanted
to
just
introduce
the
program
and
see
if
there
was
a
consensus
among
the
board
to
move
ahead
with
offering
this
program.
If
so,
the
city
attorney
would
draft
a
resolution
for
our
next
meeting
on
December
4th.
That
resolution
would
be
a
resolution
of
intent
to
put
the
ballot
language
onto
the
March
ballot.
Q
January
11th
of
next
year
is
the
deadline
for
the
Supervisor
of
Elections
to
receive
all
of
the
ballot
language
and
then
March
12th
is
the
referendum.
And
then,
if
the
referendum
would
pass
by
our
city
voters,
then
the
city
would
have
one
year
to
adopt
all
of
the
parameters
of
of
our
property
tax
exemption
program
and
then
upon
adoption.
If
we
would
do
that
by
ordinance,
it
would
take
two
readings
any
eligible
business
in
the
future.
Q
Q
So
again,
we
look
at
this
as
a
way
of
having
another
incentive,
as
opposed
to
the
CRA.
This
is
a
citywide,
so
this
would
could
help
us
in
the
north
and
Claude
area
could
help
us
with
medical
office
buildings.
It
could
even
help
us
with
hotel.
So
it's
looking
at
the
areas
that
are
outside
the
CRA
that
could
you
know
be
the
difference
between
coming
here
to
tarpon
springs
or
going
somewhere
else.
So
those
are
the
basic
parameters
of
the
program.
J
No
I
think,
though,
thank
you.
This
is
a
very
innovative
way
to
further
attract
people
here
to
tarpon
springs,
I.
Very
much
like
that.
It's
not
just
like
you
said
in
the
CRA
or
any
one
part
of
town.
That's
that's
very
beneficial.
What's
the
difference,
if
you
could
ever
get
me
besides
the
geography
of
because
before
I
think
it
was
saying
somewhere
that
had
something
similar
they
benefited
from,
that
was.
J
J
B
Thanks
Karen
I
think
this
is
a
great
benefit
and
incentive
for
your
existing
business
businesses,
obviously
to
help
them
with
their
expenses
of
expanding
or
buying
a
new
building
and
bringing
them
into
Tarpon
Springs
and
I
definitely
support
this
I
just
had
a
question
about
eligible
companies
and
their
application
process.
You
said
something
about
after
we
adopt
this
it'll
take
a
year
is
that
a
year
before,
applicants
can
come
to
the
city.
We.
Q
Have
a
well,
we
have
a
year,
do
it
to
create
the
program,
but
Pinellas
I've
been
working
with
some
of
the
other
cities
in
the
county
that
has
already
created
it.
So
I
have
a
good
template
of
what
we
want
to
do.
So
the
only
flexibility
we
have
is,
if
we
would
like
to
add,
we
could
potentially
add
a
targeted
industry
like
tourism.
If
we
wanted
to
do
a
hotel
to
that,
but
it
we
have
up
to
a
year
to
develop
the
program,
but
we
don't
have
to
take
years.
B
Q
Q
L
Q
Q
It
also
goes
to
the
property
appraiser's
office
and
they
come
back
with
a
report
that
tells
us
what
the
potential
revenue
is
with
the
potential
and
I
want
to
say
lost
revenue
because
we're
really
getting
the
revenue
from
that
property.
It's
just
the
additional
revenue
that
we
would
be
delaying
receiving
until
a
later
time,
a
later
time
that
the
Board
of
Commissioners
would
set
so.
Q
Once
that
time
period
is
up,
then
we
get
that
the
full
value
of
the
property
and
a
lot
of
times
you
might
have
I
would
say
the,
but
for
but
for
an
incentive
like
this,
you
may
not
get
anything.
So
you
have
to
weigh
you
know
what
you're
getting
now
versus
what
you
potentially
could
receive
later
in
the
future
and.
Q
Q
P
J
G
G
Q
G
Q
G
G
Ok,
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
I'm.
In
total
support
of
any
incentives
we
can
give
to
businesses
that
come
into
tarpon
springs,
hotels,
anything
that
brings
higher
paying
jobs,
isn't
a
very
important
part
of
I.
Think
a
great
community
so
I'm
in
support
of
this
I'm,
looking
forward
to
looking
further
into
it.
If
it
does
pass
through
the
referendum
and
looking
at
some
guidelines,
maybe
some
parameters
in
place.
If
it's,
how
we
might
get
back,
it's
a
X
industry
would
set
the
parameter,
so
that
should
be
pretty
fun.
To
look
at
I.
Think
how.
G
Right
now
to
the
old
overall,
the
county
and
then
other
cities
around
us
with
the
ten
years
was
that
something
we
will
be
able
to
see
when
we're
looking
at
this,
putting
the
parameters
in
place
and
make
sure
we're
competitive,
because
if
someone's
trying
to
evaluate
the
building,
Hillsborough,
County,
first
tarpon
springs
and
all
they're
looking
at
obviously
will
win
from
like
the
character
and
the
charm
and
the
close-knit
community
portion
of
it.
But
would
we
win
on
the
tax
portion
of
it?
Well,.
Q
Q
P
Good
you
mean
Bob
Robertson
project
administration
department.
Director
are
things
beeping
at
me.
I'm
here
tonight,
on
behalf
of
the
public
works
department,
to
request
your
approval
to
award
the
construction
contract
for
the
Cedar
Street
rehab
project.
This
is
for
rebooting
that
stretch
of
Cedar
Street
between
our
ferris
and
Pinellas
Avenue.
In
addition
to
re
breaking
a
storm
water
collection
will
be
system
will
be
installed
where
there
isn't
one
now
so
significant
improvement
there.
P
Also
an
existing
2-inch
galvanized
steel
we'll
be
replaced
with
a
new
six
inch,
PVC
water
pipe,
which
will
improve
water
quality
and
fire
flows.
The
low
bidder
is
a
reputable
contractor
that
we've
worked
with
successfully
before
and
the
bid
was
under
budget
by
about
10%,
and
that's
it
up
here
for
questions.
J
L
Want
to
thank
mark
mr.
Robertson
for
bringing
this
board
what
we've
gotten.
Quite
a
few
phone
calls
from
residents
on
that
street
and
I
know.
We
did
a
quick
fix
right
now,
because
it's
like
dips
in
terrible
conditions.
So
we
did
the
quick
fix
with
the
blacktop
and
build
it
in
and
also
I
will
make
sure
I.
Let
them
know
that
we're
moving
forward.
It's
been
on
the
agenda
and
I
do
appreciate
it
because
that
you
know
we
have
to
look
out
for
our
residents
the
streets.
You
know
where
our
residents
live.
J
M
How
about
bravas
up
there
he's
worked
very
hard
on
this
project.
If
you
have
any
questions,
but
staff
doesn't
have
any
presentation
to
make
to
you,
we
were
bringing
forward
to
you
to
Ward
the
bid
or
549
thousand
for
277.
All
of
us
know
what
the
issues
been
in
this
building.
The
issues
been
on
the
windows
and
staff
view
that
we
should
do
like
City,
Hall
and
replace
them.
Historical,
Preservation
bore
and
others
thinking
that
we
should
preserve
them,
both
with
good
cases,
both
with
good
reasons.
M
You
had
me
as
a
board,
bring
it
for
the
board
twice
and
they
reject
the
staffs
proposal.
I
know
how
this
Board
wants
to
maintain
the
historical
aspect
of
this
building,
how
they
wanted
that.
So
what
I'm
bringing
forward
to
you
is
for
the
option
that
we're
talking
about
the
windows
I'm,
bringing
forward
for
your
approval,
the
option
A,
which
is
the
recommendation,
Historic
Preservation
Board,
to
preserve
and
restore
the
windows
as
opposed
to
replace
those
and
again,
if
you
have
any
questions,
anything
Bob's
worked
very
hard
and
studied
it.
M
We've
looked
at
both
aspects.
We
bid
it
both
ways.
Doing
that
and
preserve.
Preserving
the
windows
is
a
money
Savior
in
the
project.
It
saves
money
and
again
we
know
how
you
feel
on
this
board
and
about
the
preservation
and
wanting
the
approval.
The
story
will
further
evasion
board
to
go
forward.
So
that's
why
we're
bringing
to
afford
you
with
their
recommendations
on
the
windows
to
prove
tonight
and
us
to
get
started
as
soon
as
humanly
possible
to
get
that
Birla
building
renovated.
J
R
Good
evening
my
name
is
Cindy
Terra
panty
I
live
at
22,
North,
Spring,
Boulevard,
tarpon
springs
and
I
am
chairman
of
the
Preservation
Board
and
I
sat
on
the
Preservation
Board.
When
this
item
came
to
it.
So
I
want
to
give
you
some
background.
First
of
all,
I'm
really
glad
to
see
that
the
project's
moving
forward
the
building
has
been
deteriorated
for
a
long
time.
R
It's
kind
of
embarrassing
to
all
of
us
I
think,
including
you
and
I'm,
glad
that
we're
moving
forward
but
I
support,
replace
repairing
the
windows,
not
replacing
it,
which
is
option
a
since
this
building
is
within
the
historic
district.
All
the
exterior
work
requires
approval
by
the
Preservation
Board
will
review
either
approval
or
denial
in
January.
The
city
came
with
an
application
for
the
exterior
repair
to
the
brick,
to
the
Clocktower,
to
all
those
items
and
replacing
the
windows.
R
The
replacing
the
windows
was
delayed
because
there
was
no
evaluation
of
the
status
and
condition
of
those
windows.
The
rest
of
the
work
was
approved
in
January
and
then
in
on
June
4th
at
the
June
meeting
of
the
Preservation
Board.
The
applicant
came
back
with
an
evaluation
of
the
windows
and
after
careful
consideration,
and
we
had
public
testimony
from
longtime
city
residents
and
a
member
of
the
Florida
Trust
for
Historic
Preservation
Board.
The
HPB
voted
unanimously
to
deny
the
replacement
of
the
windows
and
to
recommend
and
to
encourage
the
city
to
restore
those
windows.
R
But
there
are
also
lots
of
other
alternatives
to
improve
the
energy
efficiency,
such
as
curtains
inside
the
wind
on
the
inside
portion
in
the
winter
that
don't
change
the
view
of
the
window.
So,
but
there
are
other
options
to
explore,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
the
preservation
boards
action.
Since
the
staff
report
erroneously
states
that
the
HPB
made
a
recommendation,
the
HPP
did
not
make
a
recommendation.
R
So
the
HPP
is
a
very
different
animal
than
your
Planning
and
Zoning
Board,
which
does
send
you
recommendations
and
you
make
the
final
decision
final
item
I
wanted
to
highlight
is
on
the
second
page
at
the
bottom.
Is
there
is
an
appeal
process
and
if
an
application
is
denied
an
applicant
has
the
right
to
appeal
to
you
as
a
City
Commission,
but
in
this
case
and
the
code
requires
that
it
be
done
within
20
days
of
that
written
decision.
That
decision
was
made
in
June
there's
been
no
appeal
brought
forward.
R
There's
no
ability
to
reserve
the
right
to
appeal
at
some
future
date.
You
don't
see
that
language
in
the
code
because
it
doesn't
exist
so
that
the
time
for
an
appeal
has
passed
in
the
city
is
bound
by
the
preservation
Board's
decision.
The
most
important
reason
to
preserve
this
building
is
due
to
its
historic
importance
to
the
town.
It
was
our
City
Hall
originally
and
now
it
continues
as
a
great
building
for
cultural
activities
with
exhibits
and
lectures.
R
But
on
the
other
hand,
if
you
want
to
be
remembered
as
the
Board
of
Commissioners
who
value
history
who
value
our
historic
buildings
and
who
renovated
this
building
for
the
next
generations.
The
vote
to
repair
the
historic
windows
is
the
right
vote
and
I.
Think
many
of
you
share
my
concerns.
I
think
you
all
recognize
the
important
nature
of
this
building
in
its
prominent
location
on
one
of
our
major
streets
and
located
in
downtown
and
I,
encourage
you
to
move
forward
with
the
work
as
a
workplace.
Excuse
me,
restoration.
The
option
a
that's
described.
F
F
Need
a
protist,
901,
Bayshore
Drive
urge
you
to
go
with
option
A
for
the
historic
preservation
of
the
windows.
That's
what
I
was
alluding
to
when
I
came
up
here
to
congratulate
Commissioner
Khare
with
his
daughter.
This
is
the
foundation
for
our
children.
This
is
their
history.
This
is
their
roots,
so
many
communities
have
lost
their
roots
and
they're
trying
to
regain
them
by
trying
to
overturn
what
they
have
done,
trying
to
improve
their
communities
and
they
can't
get
it
back.
We
have
so
much
beauty
in
Tarpon,
Springs
and
so
much
history.
F
F
That
needs
to
be
done
so
I'm
urging
you
to
please
support
preserving
the
historic
building
windows
there
and
going
with
a
for
the
preservation
of
our
history
and
then
later
on,
I'm
going
to
come
back
with
some
others
that
I've
noticed
we
are
losing
ground
on.
In
maintenance
and
preservation
and
our
new
library
I
don't
know,
I
did
notice
today
if
it's
been
repaired,
but
for
the
last
five
weeks
and
I
did
report
it,
we
have
vines
growing
out
of
the
where
the
roof
is
where
it
meets
the
building,
so
something's
wrong
there.
F
That
means
water
seeping
in
in
our
beautiful
new
library.
That
can
do
a
lot
of
damage.
I'll
go
up
there
tomorrow,
because
I
reported
and
I
said
we
don't
need
to
have
vines
and
flowers
growing
out
of
the
roof
of
our
library,
so
this
is
called
maintenance
and
mr.
Lycoris
I
give
you
a
lot
of
credit
which
I
didn't
do
at
that
last
meeting.
F
J
S
J
B
Thank
you,
I
believe
in
historic
preservation.
I
believe
in
the
value
of
the
history
of
this
building.
I
have
concerns
with
restoring
versus
replacing
looking
at
what
the
city
did
as
far
as
their
recommendations
and
advantages
and
disadvantages,
the
new
windows
will
be
energy
efficient.
The
new
windows
will
be
impact-resistant.
The
new
windows
will
be
rated
with
winds
with
withstand
hurricane
when
loads
recommend
by
the
city
staff.
B
L
You
I
want
to
thank
the
HPP
Board
work
for
reviewing
all
this
criteria
and
and
for
their
recommendation
and
all
the
hard
work
they
do
to
to
preserve
the
heritage
in
our
community.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
history
here
and
yeah.
I
weigh
both
options,
but
I
think
that
preserving
what
we
have
is
a
better
option
at
this
point
again,
like
vice
mayor,
said:
let's
try
it.
L
If
we
learn
that
it
wasn't
the
right
option
down
the
road,
then
then
we
made
a
mistake,
but
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
we
really
need
to
entertain
at
this
time
and
like
mrs.
Terrapin,
you
said
there
are
other
options
for
keeping
out
peat
and
an
elements
with
certain
window
treatments
and
whatnot.
So
I
think
it's
something
that
we
really
need
to
entertain
at
this
time
and
I'm.
L
M
L
B
P
J
G
Bus
mayor
Bob,
thank
you
for
putting
together
your
team
and
coming
up
with
a
maintenance
schedule,
like
you
presented
a
few
months
or
last
month,
I
believe
I
think
it's
important
to
continue
that
this
isn't
really
a
choice
tonight
as
a
commission,
because
we
don't
have
the
authority
to
make
a
choice.
It's
actually
a
yes
or
no
do
we
want
to
restore.
Do
we
not
want
to
restore
mr.
Trask?
If
you
could
help
me
understand
this?
G
S
Would
definitely
be
a
code
violation.
Okay,
the
difference
here
is
is
that
you
know
if,
if
the
city
has
appealed
the
decision
of
the
board,
they
have
preserved
their
right
to
move
forward,
to
bring
it
to
the
back
to
you
as
a
commission
as
a
whole.
So
if
the
motion
fails
tonight
to
adopt
option
a
then-
and
there
was
another
motion
to
approve
option
B-
it
would
have
to
be
contingent
upon
a
subsequent
public
hearing
where
you
considered
the
application
denial
from
the
board
under
section
one
11.00.
G
M
M
Yeah
can't
do
that.
No,
what
we
have
to
do,
and
probably
with
the
work
with
a
hurricane
to
do
and
adding
that
building
and
boarding
it.
We
would
probably
had
what
our
plans
was
to
look
into
his
executor
contract
with
somebody
and
if
the
storms
coming
and
stuff
to
preserve
those
windows,
because,
obviously,
if
you
put
shutters
up
there,
you're
gonna
destroy
this
torkoal
integrity
of
the
building.
You
might
as
well.
Do
it.
You
might
as
well
go
of
the
replacement,
because
shutters
are
not
part
of
what
the
building
is.
M
But
what
our
plan
is
is
to
either
execute
a
contract.
Hopefully,
because
of
all
we
got
to
do
and
be
ready
to
traditionally
board
up
those
windows
to
protect
them
since
they're
not
going
to
be
impacts
as
they're
not
going
to
be
protected
the
storm.
But
we
would
do
a
boarding
process
to
avoid
as
much
as
possible,
not
losing
them.
J
J
G
How
you
can
see
the
wavy
line,
so
I
could
see
that
sand
dots
in
it,
something
this
that
shows
that
the
character
and
that
maybe
the
Commission
made
a
conscious
effort
to
not
replace
but
to
repair
and
restore
the
history
that
we
have
and
there's
an
opportunity,
I
think
to
educate
the
people
that
visit
this
for
many
many
years
to
come.
If
I
could
just
make
that
recommendation.
Also
thanks.
J
M
A
Good
evening
vice
mayor
and
commissioners,
Ron
herring
finance,
director
resolution,
2018
25
is
being
brought
before
you
to
budget
for
items
that
were
not
previously
budgeted
for
and
fiscal
year
2018.
This
is
a
final
budget
resolution
for
fiscal
year.
2018
cleaning
up
some
items
within
the
budget
there.
In
the
cover
letter,
I've
tried
to
summarize
the
items
that
are
on
the
attached
resolution.
O
G
S
J
You
very
much
thank
you
Ron
again,
this
is
my
last
time.
I
will
get
to
thank
you
and
I'm
very
happy
to
be
in
Mandi
my
tenure
on
this
board,
with
using
no
and
no
nose
or
fun,
as
we
have
for
the
past
two
years.
I
think
and
that's
much
credit
not
only
to
a
growing
economy
a
little
bit
but
but
to
snaps.
You
know,
staffs,
know,
diligence
and
finding
ways
to
preserve
and
also
grow.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
Anybody
else
I
will
bail.
Please
Monsieur.
J
M
There's
another
project
don't
want
to
thank
Bob
Robertson
because
he
did
some
extensive
work
unstow
in
essence,
and
this
board
knows
how
to
talk
to
you
all
about
it.
At
first,
we
were
looking
at
this
property
for
the
possible
home
of
a
new
fire
station.
We
did
our
geotechnical
testing
and
stuff.
We
found
that
there's
a
possibility
of
up
to
110
thousand
dollars
of
work
that
has
to
be
done
so
I
didn't
bring
forward
to
you.
The
purchase
price
of.
M
$249,900
came
back
to
us
and
offered
us
this
property.
It's
$75,000
reduced
to
help
with
the
Romanian
cost.
Again,
as
we
said
before,
there's
a
couple
purposes
for
this
property:
one
is
the
option
for
a
site
for
our
golf
road
fire
station
which
which
estimated
now
and
that
can
change
an
alter,
but
between
2023
2025
we've
got
to
replace
it.
M
There's
also
another
need
that
if
there
is
another
location
or
something
we
choose
that
this
property
be
very
valuable,
possibly
for
such
things
as
relocating
recreational
relocating,
where
the
land
might
be
so
so
this
land
has
a
lot
of
options.
We
have
options
to
use
the
use
the
land
now
until
we
build
the
new
fire
station
from
a
passive
park,
a
park
in
a
playground
dog
park
courts.
As
you
know,
we've
got
basketball
courts,
they're
heavily
used
on
golf
road,
but
they're
at
the
mercy
of
the
Baptist
Church,
because
it's
on
their
property.
M
So
there's
a
variety
of
uses.
Art
there's
also
some
other
areas
that
we
may
look
at.
Then
we
may
need
to
locate
some
city
facilities
too
so
by
having
this
land.
Now,
when
we
make
the
decision
2023
225,
it
gives
us
a
lot
of
options
and
with
the
reduced
price.
Obviously,
if
we
do
something
else
with
a
property
that
were
me
possibly
is
not
going
to
be
as
much
as
we
put
a
heavy
fire
building
on
it,
so
that
caused
the
room
you
agent
could
be
substantially
less
if
we
decide
to
use
as
another
option.
M
So
it
just
gives
us
a
piece
of
property
that
that
we
have
a
lot
of
options
to
do
with
and
a
perfect
location
and
anticipating
for
our
knees
in
2023
to
2025
and
I,
recommend
the
first
Bob
extensively
worked
on
this
project
and
can
ask
for
all
the
technical
questions
that
you
have
want
to
thank
the
property
owners.
They
do
have
another
deal
that
if
we
don't
agree
to
it
tonight,
they
will
go
to
option
B,
but
I
want
to
thank
them
because
they
gave
us
the
first
option
to
to
take
it
or
leave
it.
M
They
cut
up
very
well
when
I
turned
them
that
didn't
bring
it
forward.
The
first
time
went
to
their
options,
but
they
gave
us
the
first
option
to
choose
yes
or
no,
and
that's
what
I'm
bringing
to
you
tonight
again.
Bob
Robertson's
got
all
the
all
the
answers
to
all
the
technical
questions
that
you
need
on
the
property
and
what
we
need
so
present
you
tonight
purchase
thank.
O
J
N
Mic
excute
is
63
East,
Harbin
Avenue,
because
y'all
know
my
partner.
I
are
the
owners
of
that
property,
as
Mark
indicated,
we
do
have
a
backup
contract.
I
did
promise
the
city
mark
that
before
I
offered
this
property
to
sell
that
I
would
give
the
city
one
our
last
opportunity.
I
I'd
like
to
see
the
city
get
it,
but
if
not
that's
fine
too.
N
You
know,
for
the
reasons
mark
said,
and-
and
you
know
when
we
talked
about
this
initially,
the
price
was
at
249
nine.
We
knew
in
advance
that
there'd
be
some
grouting,
because
we
had
a
environmental
report
that
we
shared
with
the
city
that
suggested
environment,
that
there
would
be
some
grouting,
and
you
know
from
my
partner
and
I.
We
had
some
plans
but
but
obviously
we're
at
a
point
now
that
we
want
to.
N
We
want
to
sell
the
property
and,
and
so
with
the
reduction
in
the
price
we
actually
received
multiple
offers,
but
we
do
have
one
pending
backup
contract.
There
is
possibly
a
third,
but
but
it's
it's
basically
the
the
balls
of
the
city's
court
at
this
point
to
decide
if
it's
something
that
they're
going
to
want
to
land
bank
for
their
future.
So
thank
you.
J
Not
a
not
a
perfect
world,
you
know,
I
can
I
definitely
understand
people
that
might
dissent
to
this
item,
but
I
think
you
have
to
look
at
a
scarcity
of
land
in
the
sense
of
the
hills
area.
I
mean
it.
That's
that
is
literally
it
I
mean
there's
nowhere
else.
I
could
think
that
the
city
could
purchase
to
use.
I
almost
wish.
You
didn't
say
fire
station
on
the
agenda
because
I
as
the
same
as
you
pointed
out,
there's
multiple
uses.
J
You
know
you
know
for
this
property
that
I
would
I
think
we
would
tend
to
lean
towards.
So
again
it's
not
a
perfect
world
I.
Think,
though,
I
would
like
to
have
this
property
under
the
city's
control,
and
then
we
can
discuss
what
we
want
to
use
it
or
no
not
going
to
blindly.
We
know
we
know
we
know
what
are
what
are.
What
are
what
are
what
our
options
are,
but
the
Borger
then
decide
based
off
best
use
and
and
and
remediation
required
what
we
would
want.
Em
on
that
property,
I.
J
Think
if
we
pass
on
this
tonight
we
are.
We
are
giving
up
a
very
scarce
piece
of
property
and,
in
the
sense
that
Hills
area
I,
am
I'm
glad
we
were
able
to
barrel
it
event.
They
they
were
able
to
come
down
in
price,
I
mean
they
had
to
for
the
or
the
remediation,
so
I
hope
this
passes
tonight.
I
don't
have
any
questions
besides,
we
still
Park
on
there
when
the
whale
eat
at
Jimmy's
anyway,
that's
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
L
M
There's
been
some
question
for
Commission:
what
do
we
do
with
it
from
now
to
when
the
fire
station
do
also
I
think
the
fire
chief
talked
to
you
about
some
possible
other
options
and
some
relocation,
and
that
land
would
be
perfect
for
that,
so
again,
we're
talking
about
dealing
with
something
five
years
in
advance.
The
other
options
is,
you
know
some
commissions
again
we're
talking
about.
Well,
we're
just
gonna
sit
the
land
for
five
to
seven
years.
There's
a
lot
of
options.
We
can
do
with
that
piece
of
land
all
the
way
into
the
side.
M
So
while
it
could
be
land
for
the
fire
station,
it
doesn't
necessarily
go
there.
Something
could
be
relocated
from
another
site
there
to
a
lot
of
the
fire
station
somewhere
else.
It
just
leaves
us-
or
you
know,
175,000
dollars,
a
good
insurance
policy
and
a
good
place
to
go
when
we
need
to
replace
that
facility
and
that
option
won't
be
available.
If
we
don't,
if
we
don't
take
the
land
now,.
L
Okay,
you
know-
and
you
know
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
because
we
know
that
our
current
fire
station
is
is
not
in
good
shape
out
there.
It's
got
some
issues,
so
I
would
like
to
and
I'm
just
putting
this
out
there
just
really
nothing
to
do
with
this.
But
if
we
can
move
the
data
to
build
a
new
fire
station
I
would
you
know
we
need
something
we
need
to
look
at.
My
other
question
is
so
I'd
like
to
do
it
sooner
than
later
is
on
the
remediation.
M
Well
from
talking
about,
because
they're
not
that
questions
come
up
and
I
know,
there's
some
citizens
who
are
bringing
up
that
question
right.
That's
either
called
you
or
why
there
aren't
stuff.
They
fully
know.
We
were
doing
the
land
that
we
were
doing
this
full
study
on
it.
They
they
knew
they
provided
that
they
I
don't
know
in
the
real
estate
world
cuz
I'm,
not
in
the
real
estate.
They
didn't
decision,
but
I
think
we
all
knew
anybody
who
knows
that
land
out
there
Sunset
Hills
land.
L
N
Land,
yes,
we
provided
the
city.
We
had
an
environmental
study
done.
Okay,
that
suggested
that
there's
some
loose
soil,
the
city
had
its
own
environmental
study
done
so
that
you
had
to
engineering
reports
that
give
you
the
condition
of
the
property,
but
also
know
this.
That
condition
is
just
not
isolated
to
that
particular
lot.
That
condition
runs
along
a
golf
road
you're.
N
Probably
your
current
fire
station
has
the
same
issues
underneath
is
just
when
they
built
that
they
didn't
have
to
do
what
they
do
today,
the
high
school,
the
administrative
building,
had
to
be
grouted
before
they
built
the
administrative
building
in
the
front
you
know
talking
with
mr.
Lycoris,
when
the
city
was
looking
at
that
pool,
they
realized
they
had
to
go
out,
because
it's
the
same
soil
conditions
that
whole
section
has
loose
soil
conditions.
There
were
rumors
spread
that,
oh,
that
place
is
full
of
sinkholes,
which
is
not
true.
N
It's
got
some
loose
soil,
that's
the
purpose
of
the
grout.
The
reasoning
we
brought
the
price
down
is
to
allow
the
city
some
latitude
in
the
cost
of
grouting,
whether
it
cost
you
75,
whether
it
cost
you
a
hundred
ten.
It
may
not
even
cost
you
that
much
don't
know
you
had
an
estimate
and
it
all
depends
on
the
structure
and
the
weight
of
the
structure
you
put
on.
There
will
determine
what
grouting
you
you
need
if
any
there's
some
contractors
who
looked
at
it.
N
P
Bob
Robertson
project
administration
department
director,
we
did
receive
their
information,
so
we
didn't
get
full
disclosure,
but
we
went
ahead
and
did
our
own
testing.
Not
only
did
we
do
a
full
coverage
of
ground-penetrating
radar
for
the
entire
property,
but
we
did
soil
borings
to
confirm
what
we
saw
on
the
radar
to
verify
what
was
down
there.
So
we
have
a
really
good
idea
and
we're
really
comfortable
with
with
what
we're,
buying
and
I'm
confident.
Our
engineer
confirmed,
they're,
confident
that
this
remediation
work
will
make
this
site
safer
construction.
Any
kind
of
goes.
L
O
G
You
I
think
where
the
confusion
comes
in
commissioner
cake
does
when
it
came
before
us
last
time.
It
was
just
asked
to
approve
the
purchase
due
diligence
and
we
weren't
presented
with
this
cuz
I'm
in
the
same
boat
that
you
were
I
didn't
have
any
idea
that
there
is
loose
soils
and
not
on
this
property,
but
I
think
it
was.
It
sounds
like
the
city
knew
that
already,
but
we
just
didn't
know
the
details
behind
it.
So
that's
the
area
that
we're
that's.
Why
we're
confused
right
now.
G
Did
we
have
the
information
they
do
not
have
her
information,
it's
good
to
hear
that
we
did
have
an
information,
that's
good,
to
know
that
we
did
our
due
diligence
from
that
standpoint
decided
the
250
didn't
work
out,
and
then
the
property
owners
came
back
and
said:
well,
we
understand
that
it
could
be
up
to
110,
but
we're
gonna
reduce
it
to
75
for
ya
Bob.
Can
you
touch
on
that
for
me
on
this
110
number
that
we're
looking
at
and
basically
how
grouting
works
a
little
bit
more
sure,
so
I
have
a
better
understanding.
P
Yeah,
just
very
briefly,
what
they
discovered
is
its
course
geography
geology,
which
basically
means
it's.
If
there's
voids
underneath
there
it's
you
know
contained
within
the
limestone,
which
is
why
there
aren't.
You
know
you
don't
see
any
subsidence
out
there
now,
because
it's
supported
but
those
voids
down
there.
So
what
you
do
is
you
basically
inject
a
grout
into
the
ground
and
fill
those
those
holes,
and
the
hundred
ten
thousand
is
based
on
an
estimate
that
the
geotechnical
specialists
gave
us.
P
G
P
G
G
The
other
option
would
be
to
potentially
use
eminent
domain.
It's
not
the
most
fun
route
to
go
to
obtain
property.
Overall,
this
piece
of
property
isn't
a
lot
of
money
compared
to
what
some
of
the
properties
are
in
the
area.
I
think
the
previous
owners
paid
250
for
it
some
years
back,
also
and
I've
also
paid
taxes
on
it,
so
with
I,
guess
the
environment
that
we're
in
today
with
property
values
going
up.
G
It's
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
really
purchase
a
piece
of
property
here,
just
to
have
as
an
option
and
then,
if
we
need
to
sell
it,
we
could
sell
it
in
the
future
date.
But
I
was
the
one
Commissioner
kicked
off
so
and
if
I
could
address
you
that
asked
questions.
What
do
we
do
with
the
property
in
the
meantime,
if
we
purchase
it,
we
don't
want
to
just
let
it
sit
there.
G
We
want
to
make
it
a
useful
piece
of
property
at
the
cities
buying
it,
and
so
that's
why
I
asked
about
what
could
we
look
at
if
it's
a
basketball
court,
if
it's
a
small
dog
park,
if
it's
a
small
passive
park,
I,
don't
really
know
what
it
could
be,
but
I
don't
think
it
makes
sense
to
own
property
as
a
city
standpoint
and
just
have
it
sit
there
vacant
and
so
that's
what
I
was
seeing.
What
can
we
do
with
it
if
it
is
the
right
site
for
the
fire
station?
G
P
G
L
M
Again,
that's
a
lot
of
your
choice.
It
was
going
to
be
a
passive
parking.
Nothing
if
you
put
quartz
on
it.
There
may
be
an
area
of
the
land
correct.
You
know
that
we
can
put
those
course
on.
It
doesn't
have
those
voids
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
options
of
what
we
want
to
do
and
how,
if
we
just
want
to
put
a
passive
park,
make
a
nice
place
for
the
city
or
something
a
dog
park.
You're
not
gonna,
have
any
weight
on
the
land
much
for
dog
park
or
anything
else.
M
You
know
no
one
walking
across
or
parking
in
that
land
and
all
the
years
cars
are
parked
there.
It's
fell
on
the
ground
or
anything.
So
there's
a
lot
of
options
we
can
do
and
what
we
would
do
is
they'd
be
real,
low-cost
options
where,
obviously
we
get
our
three
to
five
to
seven
years,
I,
don't
even
a
basketball
court
porn
that
wouldn't
be
that
much
money.
Definitely
a
dog
park,
you
know,
wouldn't
be
a
lot
of
money.
M
A
passive
part
wouldn't
be
a
lot
of
money,
so
you
know
this
board
would
look
at
it
and
see.
What
can
we
do
to
serve
the
community
out
there?
You
know
there's,
there's
not
a
lot
of
places.
In
my
day,
all
the
schools
are
open,
so
we
had
playgrounds.
We
had
fields,
we
had
everything.
Could
you
just
go
to
school
property?
M
Well
now
the
schools
are
locked
up
like
Fort
Knox,
so
really
in
an
area
where
you
got
a
lot
of
kids
and
stuff,
there's
really
there's
really
not
a
lot
of
places
to
go
and
stuff,
so
we
could
do
whatever
or
a
place
to
go,
sit
or
walk
your
dog
to
and
sit
on
a
bench
even
those
little
in
the
park.
You
as
a
board
have
so
many
options
with
that
piece
of
land
to
do
and
get
your
value
for
the
money
out
of
it
for
whatever
goes
on
in
the
future
of
it.
M
M
It's
going
to
take
us
some
years
to
build
up
and
do
and
and
design
and
stuff
we'll
build
it
as
soon
as
we
can,
but
it's
probably
still
gonna
be
three
to
five
years
out
because
we
know
from
building
the
other
fire
station
that
this
one's
going
to
cost
more.
So
so
again,
that's
all
we'll
be
looking
at.
If
there's
opportunities
when
we
get
the
tower
issue
resolved,
there's
a
pot
of
money,
there
may
be
some
other.
There
may
be
some
grants
to
help
with
a
new
station
that'll
speed
it
up.
M
So
again,
that's
the
other
option.
If
something
happens
with
a
grant
or
ability
to
speed
it
up,
we've
got
that
piece
of
land
there
and
sitting.
We
don't
have
to
go
hunting.
Yes,
we've
already
looked
at
building
at
the
present
site,
but
you
had
to
build
a
couple.
It's
not
gonna
be
an
ideal
fire
station
good
run,
go
up
and
two-story
fire
station
a
little
piece
of
land,
that's
not
ideal,
but
we
can
do
it
so
again.
B
Thank
you.
Yes,
mr.
kusuda
said:
there's
loose
soil
all
up
and
down
that
Street,
so
probably
grouting
would
be
necessary
on
any
portion
of
that
land
and
I
agree
that
this
is
a
good
deal
and
I
feel
that
something
should
be
done.
In
the
meantime,
however,
we
can
use
it
or
it's
best
used
so
that
it's
not
sitting
vacant.
G
J
M
M
M
The
money
will
be
from
split
between
recreational
impact
funds
and
Local
Option
Sales
Tax.
So
the
money
is
there
for
it,
I
said,
would
be
a
great
use.
You
have
the
oven,
your
you
have
on
the
dial
it
from
the
Little.
League
board
support
it,
and
we
got
a
representative
from
the
Little
League
in
the
office.
I
want
to
thank
Jay
he's
the
one
we've
been
working
on
on
the
renovations
of
field.
We're
gonna
do
some
good
things
with
those
fields.
M
This
money
does
not
affect
the
money
that
that
we
talked
about
of
the
renovation.
This
was
this
is
separate
money.
This
is
so.
This
does
not
take
away
from
any
money
from
the
Little
League
from
the
renovations
we
had
talked
about,
and
this
just
gives
us
a
plenty
of
more
options
for
the
for
the
growing
usage
and
the
teams
and
League
and
stuff
and
I'm
real
happy
to
bring
this
forward.
M
It
too,
because
it's
been
a
long
time,
we've
been
looking
at
that
or
the
one
other
property
that's
there,
and
this
one's
more
ideal
one
because
it
butts
up
on
city
property
I'm
both.
So
it
gives
us
a
huge
area,
it'll
be
advantage
to
the
community.
The
Little,
League
and
I
highly
recommend
moving
forward
with
this
purchase.
It
is,
it
did
come
in
the
appraised
value
came
in
higher
than
the
cost
of
an
stuff,
so
the
appraisals
there.
M
J
J
J
G
Mayor
I'm,
a
proponent
of
acquiring
land
around
this
Sisler
field,
I
think
it's
pretty
important,
I
remember
as
a
child
when
I
played
my
mom
and
dad
would
hit
the
park
down
mirrors
like
down
the
way
down
the
road
and
a
sandpit,
basically
on
the
side
of
the
road
where
you
get
stuck
when
you're
trying
to
leave
afterwards,
he
was
not
enough
parking.
So
this
is
great
to
see
the
opportunity
to
purchase
this
land.
I
was
an
advocate
to
buy
the
house
actually
next
door.
G
Also
when
it's
a
I
think
we
missed
out
an
opportunity
a
couple
times.
So
hopefully
we
won't
miss
out
on
that
opportunity
in
the
future.
But
this
is
this
is
a
good
deal,
I
think
for
the
city
and
the
safety
of
the
residents,
the
safety
of
the
ball
players,
the
safety
of
the
parents,
the
grandparents
to
come
and
visit.
It's
an
important
aspect
to
have
parking
and
that's
a
struggle
that
we
have
with
a
few
of
our
sports
fields.
G
I
know
discovery
and
an
all
set
Sisler
field,
so
I'm
in
full
support
when
I
ran
for
Commissioner
is
one
thing.
I
supported
was
recreation
and
expanding
Recreation.
Any
way
we
can
so
I,
don't
have
anything
further
other
than
I
hope
we
can
put
some
shrubbery
up
and
maybe
a
little
bit
of
landscaping
to
make
it
a
little
more
attractive
and
if
we
need
to
put
up
some
additional
protective
netting
to
prevent,
broken
windshields
or
dented
cars
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
this
board.
J
L
You
I
think
this
is
a
great
opportunity
for
the
city.
We
do
need
to
expand
parking
out
there
and
and
like
Commissioner
Khare
said,
hopefully
we
can
put
some
shrubbery
and
plants
and
stuff
to
to
make
it
look
nice.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
us
parking
is
a
commodity
out
there
and
it's
tough
on
the
weekends.
When,
when
everybody's
playing
so
I
decided
to
to
sell
I
forgot,
you
lived
there
but
I'm
really
thrilled
about
it.
L
J
G
Got
one
other
comment:
I
sent
Marc
some
stuff
about
George
Sisler
really
Fields
named
after,
and
this
is
where
the
st.
Louis
Browns
had
spring
training
in
the
early
1920s
from
just
pretty
incredible
mark
you
mentioned
to
me
that
they
actually
moved
to
Baltimore
and
became
the
Baltimore
Orioles
at
the
time
or
are
now
the
Baltimore
Orioles.
So
I
think
it's
also
important
incorporate
some
type
of
history
with
mr.
Sisler.
When
we
look
at
the
renovations
of
the
field.
G
I
know
it's
not
actually
on
this
agenda
item,
but
just
something
to
talk
about
as
well
to
show
the
history,
because
one
of
the
things
I
grew
up
playing
at
Sisler
field.
I
had
no
idea
who
mr.
Sisler
was
I
had
rumors
at
Babe.
Ruth
clay
played
there
and
I'm.
Like
is
this
stuff?
True
I
don't
know,
is
this
old
folk
tale
but
then
come
to
learn
like
there's
pictures
of
Babe
Ruth
here
fishing
in
Lake
tarpon,
and
he
really
did
play
here
and
the
st.
G
Louis
Browns
really
did
play
and
tarpon
springs
as
a
spring
training.
You
can
find
old
historic
articles
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Times
or
st.
Pete
Times
and
the
archives.
It's
really
neat
to
see
some
of
the
history
that
happened
in
tarpon
springs
in
the
20s,
so
there's
a
lot
of
history
in
this
field
too.
So
it's
good
to
preserve
this
area
and
as
the
baseball
fields
and
still
to
encourage
our
children
to
play
softball
and
baseball.
Yes,.
M
I
told
Commissioner
Khare
my
email
to
him.
My
usher
at
the
Rays,
where
my
raise
seats
are,
is
one
I
think
only
nine
existing
players
left.
They
played
for
the
st.
Louis
Browns,
of
course,
not
at
a
time
when
Babe
Ruth's
there
in
the
50s
he
actually
played
in
there
told
the
story.
Of
course
everybody
thinks
well
they're
the
st.
Louis
Cardinals
st.
Louis
Cardinals
was
their
biggest
competitor.
They
could
they
competed
against
each
other,
but
actually
in
learning
more
after
Commissioner
Khare
sent
that,
although
they
did
become
the
Baltimore
Orioles,
the
st.
M
Louis
Cardinals
are
actually
the
one
who
put
the
statue
there
and
statue
of
mr.
Sisler
at
in
st.
Louis,
so
the
so
the
Cardinals
has
been
taking
up
some
of
the
history
of
them.
So
maybe
in
the
future,
if
not
the
Orioles
they'll
since
the
car,
maybe
we
can
get
some
help
or
some
recognition
of
them,
but
there's
some
good
ideas
that
we're
adding
to
the
list,
as
we
do
the
other
places
down
or
some
history
there
and
it'd
be
nice.
M
J
I
was
named
of
the
first
night:
I
gave
the
land
back
today,
so
that's
yeah
momentum
has
always
been
one
didn't
bring
up
and
know
it's
these
historical
facts.
That's
always
very
interesting.
That's
absolutely
amazing.
I
think
we
definitely
do
show
something
put
there
to
to
memorialize
that
thang
right.
That's
it
by.
G
J
G
J
I
guess
from
the
same
circle
like
yes,
ta,
where
we
share
with
oldsmar
and
safe
harbor
and
the
old
burn
mayor's
coming
off.
Well,
sorry,
yeah
mayor's
coming
off!
So
we'll
need
to
point
somebody
for
that.
The
mayor
has
fined
not
being
on
that.
Obviously,
I
can't
April
keep
in
mind
as
well
somebody
to
come
in
my
spy
PSTA
in
April
as
well.
So
keep
that
mind
when
thinking
about.
B
G
I'm
interested
in
this
overall
I'd
still
need
to
work
out
a
few
details
at
my
work.
If
this
is
something
that
the
board
is
interested
in,
maybe
appointing
myself,
maybe
I
have
a
couple
more
weeks,
because
I
only
had
a
few
days
to
figure
this
out
to
talk
to
my
management
about
the
ability
to
leave.
It
doesn't
sound
like
it'd,
be
a
problem
for
the
situation
again.
It's
it's
good
exposure
for
the
city,
I
think
especially
for
North
Pinellas
is
not
a
whole
lot
of
forward.
G
Pinellas
involvement
in
our
town
at
all
I
do
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
have
a
face
and
I'm,
not
I'm,
pretty
willing
to
say
anything.
I
need
to
get
in
front
of
someone
for
Tarpon
Springs
recognition
and
bring
projects
up
here
and
money
and
funding.
So
I'm
happy
to
look
at
this
if
I
just
maybe
could
have
a
little
more
time
just
to
get
the
proper
approvals
to
from.
J
J
M
I
would
say
to
because
you
know
they
want
an
answer.
I'd
say
the
point
of
tonight
pending
his
ability
to
work
it
out.
Then,
if
he
couldn't
work
it
out
and
we'd
have
to
tell
them
listen,
we
need
to
bring
it
to
the
first
board
meeting
in
December
and
change,
but
do
that
now.
So,
if
you
lets
me
know
in
two
weeks,
I
can
let
them
know
because
they're
ready
to
do
all
their
paper.
So.
G
B
J
L
L
J
J
J
T
You
vice
mayor
just
wanted
to
comment
again.
Our
new
canine
just
started
canine
school
with
Tommy.
His
name
is
CK.
Obviously
in
the
honor
of
Charlie
conduct,
official
name
is
Charlie
K,
but
he's
gonna
be
really
good.
Tommy's
really
been
training
him
for
a
month
and
and
the
amount
of
training
and
and
have
this
dogs
received.
That
training
is
amazing,
so
I
have
all
the
confidence
in
the
world.
They'll
do
very
well
and
I
hope
you
very
successful.
So
we'll
keep
you
updated
on
that.
Thank
you.
J
J

O
J
B
J
G
You
thank
you
all
for
the
well
wishes
and
all
the
text
messages
phone
calls,
the
residents,
Facebook
Likes
and
ever
our
thing
with
my
daughter
being
born,
my
wife
is
recovering.
Well,
my
daughter
is
growing
wanting
to
eat
all
the
time
and
we've
learned
how
to
change
diapers
very
well.
Now
and
I
wasn't
very.
O
G
Was
very
good
at
first,
but
I've
got
it
down
pretty
quickly,
so
we
have
a
lot
to
be
thankful
here
and
my
family,
but
we
also
have
a
lot
to
be
thankful
for
tarpon
springs.
Also,
I
am
thankful
for
the
staff
and
all
the
hard
work.
That's
going
on
and
I
hope.
We
recognize
all
the
things
that
we're
very
thankful
for
during
Thanksgiving
and
upcoming
week.
G
G
If
we
could
just
have
a
discussion
part
of
it,
and
we
could
also
look
at
some
of
the
other
cities
like
winter
park
or
Ybor
City,
and
have
a
couple
examples
of
how
some
of
these
commercial
buildings
are
I,
guess
more
in
character
with
the
historic
parts
of
those
towns
just
have
a
discussion
and
see
what
we
could
potentially
do
to
encourage
that
charm
of
Tarpon,
Springs
yeah
good
job
tonight.
Vice
mayor.
