Good
evening
my
name
is
Dave:
Ellis
I
live
at
579
Lakewood
Drive
in
Oldsmar,
I
am
running
for
Circuit
Court
judge.
There
is
an
election
coming
up,
November
6th
in
case
anybody
didn't
know.
Judicial
elections
are
normally
held
during
the
primary,
which
was
August
28th.
This
is
a
runoff,
though
it
is
the
only
judicial
election
that
is
left
people,
don't
generally
care
about
judicial
elections
or
pay
much
attention
to
them.
D
I
would
tell
people
that
you
really
should
Circuit
Court
judges
serve
over
all
of
pinellas
in
Pasco
County,
sir,
for
six-year
terms
and
unless
challenged,
don't
have
to
run
for
re-election,
and
although
it's
a
six-year
term,
it
is
really
for
most
circuit
court
judges
here
in
our
circuit.
It
is
something
that
they
do
for
the
remainder
of
their
career.
D
What
judges
do
affects
thousands
and
thousands
and
thousands
of
people,
not
just
people
that
are
in
the
courtroom,
but
all
of
us
in
the
community
as
well,
and
certainly,
if
you're
ever
in
a
courtroom,
you're
gonna,
really
care
who
your
judges
so
please
vote.
Please
make
informed
choices.
This
ballot
is
almost
more
pages
long.
It
is
really
really
long.
The
constitutional
amendments
are
difficult,
so
please
do
your
homework
before
you
go,
otherwise
you
will
find
it
to
be
a
very
difficult
process.
There
are
multiple
items
in
each
amendment.
D
A
As
the
mayor
of
the
seat
of
Tarpon
Springs
do
hereby
proclaim
October
28
2018
as
the
okie
day.
This
is
always
a
night
here,
so
we're
going
to
mail
that
Proclamation.
Are
they
any
Commission
common?
Are
they
any
public
comments
on
this
item
here?
None
item
number
Q
ISM
is
another
Proclamation
Commissioner
Khare
will
read
the
proclamation
for
the
city
government
week,
city.
E
Now,
therefore,
I
Commissioner
Jacob
car
by
the
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
in
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
October
22nd
through
28th
2018
as
Florida's
city
government
week,
and
we
hope
you
will
join
us
in
the
celebration
and
learn
more
about
your
city
and
how
it
operates.
For
you.
E
A
E
A
G
'once,
which
helps
good
evening,
so
this
audit
don't
deals
dealt
with
the
its
contract.
Compliance
of
the
reverse
osmosis
treatment
facility
and
I
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
executive
summary
right
there
and
a
couple
things
to
highlight.
One
is
that
terms
of
limitation
here
when
we
got
into
the
project
and
that
second
paragraph
there
describes
the
fact
that
the
type
of
contract,
the
type
of
delivery
method,
was
a
design
lump
sum
build
design-build
lump
sum
contract,
which
means
all
the
costs
or
the
negotiation
process
were
fixed,
and
so
there
were
certain.
G
So
those
observations
aren't
exceptions
are
really
observations
related
to
process
improvements
going
forward,
and
so,
if
you
look
at
the
next,
the
next
page
there,
you
kind
of
that
nice
picture
there-
everything
those
green
checks
or
greens,
good
everything
checked
out
well
and
the
process
is
in
place
worked
well
and
we
didn't
find
any
exceptions
at
all
in
that
process
in
her
contract
compliance
review.
These
observations
in
deal.
One
deals
with
project
work
changes.
What
that
deals
with.
Is
there
weren't
any
actual
work,
orders
or
change
orders?
G
As
you
know,
and
you
probably
know
from
this
project-
nothing
actually
increased
the
project
the
project
came
in
as
originally
contracted
for,
but
there
were
value
engineering
changes
that
were
able
and
tax
savings
that
were
used
to
offset
other
changes,
and
so,
overall,
the
project
didn't
increase,
stay
within
budget
within
the
agreed
upon
original,
fixed
price.
But
we
wanted
to
see
going
forward
documentation
around
those
types
of
changes,
getting
proper
approvals
and
a
certain
thresholds.
G
That's
the
first
observation
we
we
noted
the
second
one
had
to
do
with
the
department,
did
a
good
analysis
and
doing
a
cost-benefit
alysus
and
deciding
which
type
of
contract
the
lever
method
to
go
with
before
deciding
to
go
with
design-build
lump
sum
we
put
an
appendix
to
this
report
just
to
kind
of
lay
out,
there's
others
other
things
to
consider
when
doing
that
cost-benefit
analysis,
and
so
we
suggested
going
forward
on
future
projects.
You
might
also
do
a
kind
of
a
fuller
cost.
G
G
Background
information
here,
you
guys,
are
very
familiar
with
this
project
and
I
know
that
you
can
retrieve
read
through
that
here
on
this
page
of
free
information,
we
get
into
more
detail
that
it's
a
more
detail.
Presentation
of
the
specific
steps
that
we
perform
in
those
seven
areas
that
I'd
noted
earlier
that
we
that
we
tested
contract
compliance
for
for
this
project,
and
then
this
is
just
this
just
drills
down
guess
it
elaborates
a
little
bit
further
on.
G
The
observation
gives
a
little
more
context
of
the
project
work
changes
I
spoke
of,
and
then
we
have
three
specific
recommendations.
One
is
putting
in
a
formal
document.
A
prop
reveal
proper
view
process
to
kind
of
make
sure
those
changes
are
are
analyzed
more
fully
beyond
a
department
level
and
again,
B
is
such
as
suggesting
that
if
it
gets
to
be
a
certain
threshold
that
you
would
determine
through
your
own,
your
own
procurement
levels,
whether
or
not
those
adjustments
would
would
be
necessary
to
go
before
the
Commission
and
to
get
their
review
and
approval.
G
And
then
we
suggest
to
incorporate
our
a
and
B
to
actually
put
into
place
actual
processes
or
policies
and
procedures
to
accomplish
them,
and
I
talked
about
this.
This
just
lays
out
the
kind
of
the
pros
and
cons
we're
talking
about
it,
doing
that
additional
analysis
and
determining
which
contract
that's
a
delivery
to
use
and
the
rest
of
it
is
the
the
appendix
take
any
questions
that
you
might
have
at
this
time.
I.
A
G
So
it
varies.
It
really
depends
upon
the
nature
and
complexity,
project
and
I
think
that
there
was
a
lot
of.
As
you
all
know,
there
was
a
pretty
long
history
here
of
looking
at
this
project
and
planning
and
designing
it
and
I.
Think
when
you
have
that
kind
of
due
diligence,
I
think
didn't
I
think
imagined
becomes
more
comfortable
in
going
from.
You
know
to
go
ahead
and
negotiate
it
as
a
lump
sum
bid.
So
yeah
we
see,
we
see
it
just
depends
on
the
nature
of
the
project.
G
But
we
see
design-build
lump-sum
is
not
uncommon,
especially
this
type
of
construction,
the
most
common
in
vertical
destruction
like
you're
doing
buildings
per
se.
What's
very
common,
there
would
be
a
construction
manager
at
risk
type
project
which
could
also
be
a
design-build.
The
design-build
is
when
you
essentially
are
putting
together
the
architect
and
the
contractor
together
as
one
entity,
and
they
work
together.
That's
the
design-build
team,
as
opposed
to
say
a
construction
manager
at
risk.
G
G
H
You
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
I
echo
the
mayor.
The
team
did
an
excellent
job
on
this
project
and
it
was
very
successful
and
it
just
it's
an
amazing
project
for
our
community,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
recommendation
that
we'll
be
implementing
more
their
recommendation.
Yes,
okay
and
again,
thank
you
so
much
sure.
I
E
Mayor
I
think
this
confirms
that
Bob
is
the
man
in
our
projects
department.
He
was
the
PM
I
think
over
this
project.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
It's
glad
it
just
confirms
that
you
obviously
do
a
lot
of
dedication
to
the
city
and
everything
you
did
for
the
water
plant.
This
is
obviously
done
before
I
was
in
the
board,
but
I
do
see
that
it's
a
great
resource
for
tarpon
springs
and
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work
and
thank
you
for
verifying
that
the
tax
dollars
or
sprint
appropriately
sure.
G
A
J
Wait
for
the
green
light
from
the
boss,
we're
good,
okay,
I'm,
Bob,
Robertson
project
administration,
department,
director,
and
thank
you
for
your
kind
words
I'm
here
tonight
to
present
a
brief
discussion
on
maintenance
of
city
facilities.
I
will
highlight
some
of
the
functions
of
the
Public
Works
facility.
Maintenance
division
highlights
some
past
present
and
future
facilities,
maintenance
projects
and
discuss
the
proposed
upcoming
annual
facilities,
condition
assessment
program.
J
The
facilities
maintenance
division
of
the
public
works
department
is
responsible
for
the
maintenance
of
over
68
city-owned
facilities,
totaling
over
220,000
square
feet
of
space
and
valued
at
about
41
million
dollars
under
the
direction
of
tom
function.
Public
works
director
who's
here
tonight
and
joe
wreath
facilities
management
superintendent.
The
division
consists
of
six
full-time
employees.
One
of
those
positions
provides
full-time
janitorial
services
and
another
one
provides
full-time
traffic
and
facilities,
signage,
installation
replacement
and
repair.
J
So
that
means
they
have
four
full-time
staff
to
provide
other
duties
to
of
the
division,
which
include
tasks
like
painting
electrical
plumbing,
carpentry,
moving
furniture,
seasonal
decorating,
special
events,
small
capital
projects,
renovations
and
general
facility
upkeep.
They
do
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
work.
J
J
Over
the
last
few
years,
the
facilities
maintenance
division
has
been
able
to
complete
more
than
50
in-house
project's
capital
improvement
projects.
A
few
examples
would
be
renovation
of
the
community
center
kitchen,
the
Safford
house,
some
deck
board
replacements
that
were
done.
Kraig,
Park,
restroom,
remodeling,
remodeling
of
the
I.t
office,
upstairs
here
in
City,
Hall
renovation
of
the
old
PD
right
next
door
here
and
many
projects
like
that.
Furthermore,
the
division
has
identified
17
new
in-house
projects
that
are
in
progress
or
planned
for
the
coming
year,
or
so.
J
A
few
examples
of
those
are
the
city
hall,
the
box
office.
You
see
coming
in
right
outside
in
the
lobby.
Here,
library,
restroom
renovations,
clerk's
office
renovations,
coming
up
and
city
hall,
restroom
upgrades
that
may
be
coming
soon.
These
are,
in
addition
to
contracted
of
improvements
that
are
coming
like
the
Cultural,
Center
renovations
library,
roof
replacement
and
the
community
center
shower
and
restroom
renovations,
which
is
just
going
out
the
bid.
J
So
they
do
a
lot
for
a
small
division
and
they
are
definitely
a
busy
group.
So,
looking
forward,
the
department
wants
to
create
a
sort
of
master
plan
for
facilities,
maintenance
and
that's
where,
where
I
come
in,
my
department
will
be
teaming
up
with
the
Public
Works
Department
and
with
the
building
department
to
create
an
annual
facilities,
condition
assessment
report.
J
As
your
backup
memo
explains,
this
will
be
a
report
for
each
city
facility,
starting
with
an
inspection,
and
if
the
inspection
team
will
consist
of
someone
from
Public
Works,
a
building
inspector
and
nick
Makris,
my
project
super
supervisor
will
be
leading
the
effort
and
coordinating
the
team.
Inspection
team
will
look
at
many
aspects
of
city
facilities,
such
as
flooring,
electrical
plumbing,
roofing
security,
general
facility
condition,
just
to
name
a
few.
The
team
will
also
interview
staff
and
perhaps
customers
that
regularly
use
the
facilities
to
pinpoint
areas
of
concern
and
capture
them.
J
In
the
report,
conceptual
cost
estimates
will
be
prepared
for
the
identified
needs
and
these
costs
can
then
be
used
to
either
create
new
work
orders
for
immediate
or
easily
address
needs
to
program
work
into
the
next
budget
year
or
to
plan
out
work
for
multiple
years.
I
expect
to
have
this
report
updated
on
an
annual
basis
and
I've
spoken
with
Tom
and
with
Kevin
Building
Development,
Director
and
I
have
their
commitments
to
assist
Nik
and
creating
this
report
every
year
and
that's
the
plan
going
forward.
A
Thank
you,
I
love
to
see
this
actual
plan
and
if
you
create
a
spreadsheet
and
give
us
the
estimated
cost
and
the
description
of
the
work
as
well
and
I'll
like
you
have
the
budget
advisory,
can
they
do
you
see
that
that
way,
we
can
calculate
that
into
the
budget
as
well
and
after
this
completely.
If
we
put
that
on
the
website,
all
the
citizens
have
access.
I
I
A
E
H
Thank
you,
Bob.
Thank
you
for
this
and
your
proactive
approach.
I
know
it's
been,
we've
had
some
concerns
within
the
community.
Some
people
have
voiced
their
concerns
about
having
our
buildings
assessed
and
and
getting
an
update
every
year.
So
I
think
this
is
a
this
is
really
great
to
have
and
it
will
help
it
with
budget
as
well.
So
we
can
get
these
project
budgeted
properly.
H
So
again,
I'm
excited
about
this
and
I
know
later
in
the
in
the
meeting,
we
have
some
reorg
coming
up
and
I
think
that
would
for
some
of
the
departments,
so
I
think
that
would
help
with
this
as
well
give
more
people
because
you're
saying
now
we
have
what
basically
for
staff
doing
all
this
in-house
work.
Yeah.
J
H
We're
stretched
and
and
I
know,
they're
working
hard
at
it.
So
I
just
think
this
is
great
again,
you
know
thank
you
for
your
hard
work
and
then
everybody
will
be
coming
together.
Tom
will
be
coming
together
with
you
and
and
I
think
it's
just
gonna
be
great
for
the
city
all
around
especially
you
know.

A

We
are
now

Any
items
that
you
like
the
pool
I.
E
Just
want
to
make
a
quick
comment:
I
did
have
a
question
on
number
8
and
I
did
have
it
explained.
I
thought
the
cameras
were
a
bit
expensive
per
camera,
but
I
do
understand
the
importance
of
having
a
quality
camera
and
our
buildings
to
making
sure
that
recordings
are
done
accurately
and
then,
in
the
event
that
we
can
tell
who
people
are
and
I'm
excited
here
that
we're
doing
some
in-house
projects
to
install
the
items
as
well.
A
K
A
I
A
A
L
I
E
Merritt
I
had
the
same
around
the
same
lines
that
you
just
mentioned
mayor
is
that
looking
at
the
other
cities,
we
had
a
survey
done
amongst
all
the
cities
to
see
how
comparable
our
rates
are
of
the
city,
Tarpon
Springs
to
the
other
rates
of
the
cities
in
Pinellas
County,
and
they
do
fall
in
line
from
the
retainer
fee
to
the
hourly
fee,
etc.
So,
I'm
willing
to
support
this
as
well.
H
Want
to
reiterate
what
I
said
at
the
last
meeting
is
these:
these
fees
are
in
line
with
the
other
cities,
and
I
also
had
pulled
as
a
rec
request
of
all
attorney
fees
that
we
pay
not
only
our
current
attorney
here,
but
we
have
other
attorney
fees
that
we
pay
we
specialized
in
other,
and
we
are
in
line
with
what
other
cities
are
paid
throughout
the
year
for
fees.
So
I
would
approve
this
recommendation.
H
B
A
M
This
case
concerns
a
property
owner
which
constructed
a
foundational
elements
on
their
property,
which
was
eventually
intended
to
be
a
residential
structure,
but
it
failed
to
proceed
past
the
phase
of
constructing
the
concrete
columns.
The
concrete
columns
have
been
left
in
the
ground
and
they
are
extending
up
right
from
the
ground.
M
The
city
engaged
in
enforcement
efforts
to
get
compliance
with
the
code
and
compliance
was
sought
and
not
had
so.
The
code
enforcement
board
upon
presentation
found
that
the
property
owner
was
in
violation
and
ultimately
imposed
fines
on
October
13
2017,
the
code
enforcement
officer
issued
a
memory
and
to
the
code
enforcement
board
where
he
sought
the
board's
authorization
to
foreclose
on
the
lien
and
the
code
enforcement
board
voted
to
authorize
the
foreclosure
of
the
code
lien
to
proceed.
M
It
resulted
in
the
filing
of
a
foreclosure
action
by
our
office,
while
the
violation
does
continue
to
exist
on
the
property
the
owner
has
agreed
to
remove
it
per
the
terms.
The
attached
settlement
agreement,
which,
once
approved
by
the
city,
will
be
filed
with
the
court
and
binding
on
the
parties.
The
reason
that
the
settlement
is
before
the
board
at
this
time
is
because
there
was
a
procedural
issue
that
had
to
deal
with
a
certificate
of
service,
with
notice
to
the
property
owner.
Mr.
M
Trask
been
a
heck
of
a
time
trying
to
find
the
property
owner
and
serve
them
with
process.
Ultimately,
there
was
a
clerical
error
and
due
to
the
clerical
error,
there
was
a
potential
due
process
issue
due
to
that
potential
due
process
issue.
The
city
attorney
engaged
in
negotiations
and
with
the
consultation
of
city
staff,
was
able
to
arrive
at
a
stipulation
of
settlement
which
is
attached
in
your
backup
with
the
property
owners
attorney.
M
However,
should
the
owner
fail
to
comply
with
the
settlement
agreement
and
breach
that
settlement
agreement
she's
agreed
that
the
city
may
pursue
with
the
foreclosure
action
which
would
include
fees
and
costs,
so
the
remedy
is
to
get
compliance
and
also
receive
a
payment
of
$1,000.
If
there
is
no
compliance,
then
it
would
revert.
There
will
be
no
further
objections
as
far
as
the
foreclosure
action
is
concerned,
with
regards
to
any
due
process
violations,
and
with
that
I
can
answer
any
question.
H
You
I
just
wanted
to
thank
mr.
Trask
for
reaching
out
reached
out
to
me
Oh
Dave,
just
to
explain
what
was
happening,
but
I
am
familiar
with
this
case
because
it's
been
going
on
for
quite
a
while
and
I've
been.
You
know,
been
sitting
up
here
for
some
time
so
and
I
know
they've
been
very
difficult
to
deal
with
or
hard
to
reach,
so
I
would
love
to
see
those
columns
come
down.
I
love
it.
So
you
know
if
they
don't
comply
in
30
days.
H
We
take
action
so
and
I'd
like
to
rely
I
can't
wait.
I
can't
wait
for
the
30
days
to
see
if
they
can
fly
honestly
because,
like
I
said,
they've
been
very
difficult
through
this
whole
situation
so
and
in
it's
an
eyesore
in
the
community
for
the
neighbors
and
stuff.
So
again,
I
wanted
to
thank
attorney
traps
for
reaching
out
and
going
into
detail
about
this
situation,
and
hopefully
we
can
rectify
it
in
30
days,
Thank
You.
Mr.
E
M
Course
so
there
was
a
certificate
of
service
that
was
for
a
notice
that
was
a
legally
compliant
notice
that
needed
to
go
to
the
property
owner
I
believe
what
happened,
which
is
within
your
backup,
is
that
there,
the
city
clerk
used
a
template
of
some
sort,
and
there
was
the
incorrect
address
on
it.
It
wasn't
caught
at
the
city,
level
was
sent
to
our
office.
It
was
also
not
caught
on
our
level,
and
the
certificate
of
service
was
sent.
M
M
Well,
unless
not
if
we
were
not
going
to
enter
into
this
settlement
agreement-
yes,
that
would
be
correct,
but
if
the
settlement
agreement
is
approved
and
entered
into,
the
property
owner
has
the
30
days
to
comply,
which
is
ultimately
the
goal
of
code
enforcement.
And
then,
if
there
is
no
compliance,
then
we
just
move
forward
and
there
will
be
no
objection
with
regard
to
the
due
process
issue
and.
E
I
I
agree
with
Commissioner
kik
I
feel
that
we
need
to
move
on
with
this.
It
has
been
going
on
for
a
long
time
and
she
came
before
us
last
year
and
and
she
hasn't
been
in
compliance
and
denying
this
would
mean
more
time
more
money,
and
maybe
she
never
takes
down
the
columns
and
they
are
an
eyesore
and
bothering
the
neighbors
so
many
years
so
I
do
feel
like
we
need
to
go
ahead
with
the
settlement.
A
Thank
you.
I
also
agree
with
the
recommendation
of
the
city
attorney
and
I'm
glad
we're
finally
going
to
resolve
this
issue.
We're
going
to
reverse
call
us
and
bring
this
property,
so
they'd
be
nice
to
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
Are
they
any
public
comments
of
this
item?
You're
none
I
will
entertain
a
motion
motion.
B
E
E
A
N
Okay
good
evening,
Paul
Smith
public
services
director.
This
project
involves
completing
the
installation
of
equipment
pipeline
and
communications
to
add
three
production
wells
to
our
RO
facility.
This
project
spent
several
years
in
the
making
involving
extensive
coordination
with
Duke,
Energy
and
other
agencies,
and
also
a
detailed
design
and
procurement
processes.
We're
recommending
the
low
bid
out
of
five
responses
and
the
pricing
compares
favorably
to
our
engineers
estimate.
A
N
N
A
A
E
Got
a
few
questions
just
so
the
public's
aware:
this
is
this
costs
about
1.3
million
dollars
for
these
three
wells
and
it's
a
pretty
important
process
to
the
water
supply
of
the
city
of
Tarpon,
Springs
and
Paul.
I
just
want
to
ask
you
a
few
questions
that
you
could
help
us:
just
educate
the
residents
and
some
people
watching.
So
how
does
this
proposal
compared
to
the
past
wells
that
were
drilled?
Is
it
inline
or
is
it
a
lot
more?
What
are
we
seeing
the.
N
Simplest
answer
is
yes,
it's
inline.
It's
a
little
bit
of
apples
and
oranges.
Comparing
before
cuz,
we
had
a
design-build
process
going
there,
so
we're
paying
for
a
little
bit
of
design
in
those
prices.
This
is
just
construction
prices,
but
we
did
take
a
look
at
it
and
they
look
about
the
same
okay.
E
N
We
would
like
more
originally,
we
permitted
up
to
22
just
because
we
knew
that
was
the
time
to
do
that,
and
that
is
a
goal
to
work
towards,
but
it
is
a
challenge
getting
property
acquisition
I
mean
that's
really
our
limiting
factor
and
as
soon
as
we
see
opportunities,
we
go
for
them
and
put
Wells
in
where
we
can
in
a
phased
manner.
So
that's
what
we're
gonna
continue
to
do.
This
is
an
important
step
in
that
direction.
Within.
N
N
E
N
Can
last
50
years
or
more,
some
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
formation
that
the
well
is
completed
into
some
of
that's
beyond
our
control.
That's
Mother,
Nature
sort
of
stuff,
but
you
know
sometimes
Wells-
will
collapse
down
deep
and
sometimes
they
can
be
rehabilitated,
but
other
times
we
need
to
drill
a
replacement.
Well,
so
50
years
is
a
reasonable
average
for
most
of
them.
N
N
Well,
the
best
thing
we
can
do
is
monitor
their
performance,
which
is
what
we
do.
We
have
sophisticated
instrumentation
that
we
can
keep
track
of
how
these
wells
are
performing.
How
much
flow
are
we
getting
out
of
them?
How
much
pressure
are
they
producing
and
when
we
see
something
that
drifts
away
from
the
manufacturers
specification?
That
gives
us
a
signal
that
we
need
to
pull
the
pump
out
inspect
it
do
maintenance
or
possibly,
repair
parts.
We
bring
it
back
to
its
capacity.
N
N
Other
concerns
yeah,
that's
a
common
question
and
it's
something
we
looked
at
very
heavily
before
we
even
started
the
project
and
the
simplest
answer
is
when
you
manage
the
well
field
and
keep
those
withdrawals
limited
like
we're
doing,
the
effects
of
well
pumping
are
not
correlated
with
sink
bowls.
In
fact,
that's
been
studied
extensively
in
other
communities
and
by
hydrogeologists
and
found
that
you
know
where
the
sink
holes
were
weren't,
where
the
wells
were
vice
versa.

Number
2018
26
an
ordinance
of
the
City
of
Tarpon
Springs
Florida
amending
chapter
to
administration;
article
7
rules
of
procedure
of
the
Board
of
Commissioners
Division,
three
meetings,
section
2,
131
time
of
meetings,
subsection
a

duration
to
change
the
days
of
the
regular
meetings
of
the
Board
of
Commissioners
to
be
held
each
month
and
providing
for
an
effective
date.
This
was
published
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Times
by
title
only
on
October
5th
2018.
M
E
A
I
A
O
Good
evening
mayor
commissioners
had
the
earler
staff
for
this
application
and
your
Planning
and
Zoning
director.
This
amendment
is
being
brought
forward
actually
by
the
staff
and
essentially
on
the
second
page
of
your
staff
report.
There
is
a
map
locating
the
actual
locations
within
the
transect,
so
this
is
part
of
your
Sponge
Docks
and
your
CR
a
special
area
plan,
and
this
is
a
specific
transect
which
the
SD
category
stands
for
a
special
district
and
the
C
category
specifically
under
that
special
district
stands
for
the
marine
and
commercial
districts.
O
So
they're
broken
up
into
four
categories,
underneath
the
special
district.
It's
basically
the
special
district
recognizes
the
unique
characteristics
of
a
particular
area
within
the
Sponge
Docks
or
within
the
CRA
air
and
within
the
CRA
itself.
This
particular
amendment
is
looking
at
changing
three
different
portions
of
the
actual
transect
code.
The
first
one
would
be
Table
four
E,
which
is
Exhibit
A
one
and
in
that,
under
the
retail
category,
under
limited
restrictive,
the
staff
is
looking
to
change
the
number
of
seats
allowed
for
neighborhood
retail
food
service
from
40
to
49.
O
This
request
is
being
chained,
error
being
requested,
basically
to
calibrate
the
transect
code
to
the
Florida
Building
Code,
the
Florida
Building
Code
under
the
B
occupancy,
allows
up
to
49
seats
staff
feels
that,
given
that
category,
it
is
easier
for
us
to
administer,
along
with
the
Florida
Building
Code,
that
provision
so
that
we're
not
further
restricting
down
people
who
want
to
do
a
small
restaurants,
I'm
down
to
the
forty
seats
beyond,
what's
allowed
on
at
the
Florida
Building
Code.
So
that's
the
first
request,
that's
being
requested
that
that's
the
first
part
of
this
request.
O
The
second
one
is
under
exhibit
2a,
and
essentially
it
kind
of
relates
to
the
table
that
you're,
seeing
here
so
under
the
table
for
this
talks
about
the
different
functions
of
a
building.
So
buildings
can
either
be
restricted,
they
can
be
limited
or
they
can
be
open
and
essentially,
in
this
special
district
area,
we're
looking
to
change
the
limitation.
Another
retail
function
from
limited
use
to
open
use
in
order
for
us
to
make
that
change.
Essentially
what
it
means
is.
O
We
have
to
change
the
summary
code
table
which
is
table
5a,
which
is
exhibit
T
and
which
is
exhibit
a
two,
and
we
have
to
change,
exhibit
a
three
the
actual
table
that
guides
the
development
within
the
individual
transects
itself.
So
that's
where
the
zoning
is,
the
zoning
setbacks
are
laid
out.
That's
where
the
parking
limitations
are
laid
out.
That's
the
very
specifics
of
the
meat
potatoes
of
how
a
piece
of
property
is
actually
developed.
O
It
would
with
what
would
then
apply
is
the
open
retail
use,
so
building
area
available
for
retail
development
use
would
be
limited
by
the
requirement
of
the
parking
and
so
the
requirement
for
parking
and
for
the
setbacks,
rather
than
living
in
a
further
women
in
it
by
the
number
of
seats
or
a
specific
arbitrary
to
in
square
footage,
which
is
what
you
see
happening
in
the
limited
retail
category.
So
that's,
essentially
the
the
crux
of
what
the
change
is
here.
O
I
can
answer
any
question
that
you
made
the
questions
that
you
may
have,
but
this
was
actually
workshopped
are
with
the
TRC
beginning
of
last
week
and
they
had
no
concerns
with
it.
They
they
passed
it
along
without
any
changes,
and
it
went
to
Planning
Board
last
night
at
Planning
Board.
There
were
some
comments.
Those
comments
included
questions
about
specifically
what
the
changes
were
and
then
also
questions
about
why
we
were
changing
that
and
the.
O
Why
is
because
the
area
we're
seeing
interest
from
for
the
first
time
in
some
time
for
this
area
to
Train
it
seems
to
be
transitioning,
it
seems
to
be
transitioning
and
we
see
having
requests
coming
in
for
new
restaurants
in
the
area
so
seeing
that
transition.
In
order
to
encourage
any
type
of
redevelopment,
we
need
to
open
up
and
have
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
with
the
uses
that
are
the
the
functions
of
the
buildings
that
are
allowed
with,
that.
That
doesn't
mean
you're
not
going
to
see
those
projects.
O
Those
projects
are
still
going
to
come
through
the
formal
site
planning
process.
They
would
still
become
before
this
board
each
and
individual
project.
That
is
actually
going
to
actually
eventually
make
it
through.
The
process
would
have
to
prove
to
you
that
they're
meeting
all
of
the
requirements
of
the
transect
code.
O
So
while
all
this
changes
is
functionally
changing
so
that
people
can
actually
make
that
request
to
you
through
the
site
planning
process
right
now,
they
can
they're
limited
to
40
seats
for
food
service
of
any
kind
that
includes
the
existing
restaurant,
that
is
in
this
transect.
So
with
that
I
can
answer
any
other
questions.
You
have.
A
H
Well,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
some
comments
again.
This
is
another
example
of
thinking
to
the
future
and
thinking
kind
of
outside
the
box.
Our
ultimate
goal
is,
and
Heather
is
doing
such
a
great
job
and
I
got
to
say
Heather
I
mean
this
is
thank
you
for
this.
You
know
we
want
to
bring
more
people
into
our
community.
This
is
our
ultimate
goal
and
I
would
love
to
see
that
area
developed
where
we
can
have
more
restaurants
or
something
more
along.
H
O
Particular
change
no,
but
that
is
something
that
these
future
projects
that
would
be
allow
if
this
passes
any
future
restaurants
there
that
are
able
to
open
up
that
waterfront.
They
would
have
the
ability
to
put
that
as
part
of
their
site
plan,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
one
of
the
particular
people
actually
sent
us
to
Tampa
to
kind
of
talk
to
Tampa,
because
Tampa
is
kind
of
experienced
that
issue
with
the
boat
tie
up
parking
and
how
they
they
coordinate
that
with
their
project.
O
O
Most
places
don't
currently
count
them
as
parking
spaces
there.
It
would
just
be
adjacent.
It
would
be
an
additional
option
that
you
provide
essentially
dockage
for
your
facility.
That's
not
usually
counted
as
alternative
to
a
parking
space,
because
again,
the
parking
spaces
are
based
on
the
seating
capacity.
So
and
right
now,
your
code
doesn't
recognize
boat
parking
as
an
option
where
we
do
for
bike
and
ped
we're,
not
quite
at
that
point
where
boats
qualify
as
a
mode
of
transportation.
However,
they
are
a
mode
of
transportation.
Yeah.
H
A
I
I
have
to
agree
Susan.
This
is
a
beautiful
riverfront
area
and
I
would
love
to
see
it
developed
more
to
enhance
that
Sponge
Docks
bring
more
people
to
that
end
of
the
street
or
the
town
and
a
sponge
dogs
I,
like
also
with
us,
open
I'm,
looking
at
the
industrial,
where
the
operations
shall
be
screened
from
public
right
away.
So
is
that
correct?
Well,.
O
The
open
is
only
going
to
in
this
case,
refer
to
the
retail
use
I'm,
not
looking
at
the
industrial
use,
because
industrial
is
already
kind
of
worked
into
that
working
waterfront
concept,
which
really
this
special
district
is
trying
to
protect.
There's
not
the
lip
there's
not
as
much
limiting
factors.
I
think
that,
as
some
people
would
like
to
have
there
and
there's
potential
to
add
those
in,
but
we're
not
looking
at
the
industrial
component
cuz
that's
kind
of
already
worked
into
what's
existing
there
for
the
industrial
piece,
but.
I
I
I
agree:
this
is
this,
could
be
a
beautiful
area
to
develop
and
enhance
and
and
about
docking
yeah.
We
could
that
complain
all
the
time
on
the
docks
there's
nowhere
to
to
dock
so
I
think
if
we
could
look
at
that
in
the
future.
Somehow-
and
maybe
were
these
developments
to
to
put
in
some
some
docking
for
people
who
want
to
come
by
boat,
something
they
think
about.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
I
E
Mayor
I
want
to
be
reiterate,
I
think
the
city
we
had
to
ask
a
question:
how
does
the
city
of
tarpon
springs,
encourage
growth
and
attract
growth
in
the
city?
This
does
sound
like
one
of
the
avenues
to
do
that.
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
and
obviously
some
further
clarification
if
we
could
parking,
is
rather
limited.
So
there's
two
areas
that
we're
looking
at
one
area
is
the
property.
E
Just
before
you
go
over
the
river
on
Pinellas
Avenue
and
then
the
majority,
the
property
is
on
the
west
end
of
the
Sponge
Docks
along
it,
which
is
mostly
working
waterfront
right
and
that's
an
area
that
it's
a
it's
an
important
part
of
the
Sponge
Docks.
We
want
to
protect
the
working
waterfront,
but
we
also
want
to
encourage
growth
as
well,
since
that
parking
is
limited
in
these
areas.
What
is
a
requirement
for
a
restaurant
or
a
business
that
would
make
in
one
of
these
areas
so.
O
Right
now
under
that
particular,
it
tells
you
right
there
there's
three
or
some
parking
spaces
required
for
each
thousand
square
foot
and
that
would
include
the
thousand
square
foot
of
seating
area,
so
you'd
break
down
the
actual
seating
area,
whether
it's
inside
or
outside,
because
it's
not
specified
here.
It
doesn't
matter
whether
it's
inside
or
outside.
It's
the
total
square
footage
of
area
devoted
to
seating
and
devoted
to
kitchen
and
devoted
to
all
of
the
other
pieces
that
you
need
to
have
for
a
restaurant.
O
E
Just
and
I
understand
the
way
this
code
is
written
somewhat
in
that
aspect
of
you,
you
don't
have
a
lot
of
parking
necessarily
by
where
these
businesses
are
because
there's
parking
at
other
parts
of
the
district.
If
there
was
an
applicant
that
were
to
come
forward,
could
we
require
additional
parking
or
is
that
the
code
hold
us
back
from
that.
O
Well,
what
we
would
do
is
we
would
look
at
their
specific
use
and
what
they're
actually
planning
for
so
really
the
size
of
the
restaurant
really
is
gonna
dictate
that,
and
then
also
is
there
an
avenue
for
other
modes
other
than
just
street
car
parking?
Is
there
another?
Is
there
another
avenue
to
get
people
there
to
this
location,
and
then
we
would
also
look
for
them
to
partner
with
existing
parking
lots
if
possible
to
do
shared
parking.
O
So
the
answer
to
that
is
yes,
and
no,
you
can't
really
force
them
to
do
beyond
what
you're
required
in
the
code,
but
you
certainly
there
are
creative
methods
for
us
to
ensure
that
the
parking
based
on
what
they're,
potentially
looking
at,
for
how
many
staff
are
going
to
be
on
a
particular
shift
and
those
types
of
things.
We
can
certainly
look
at
those
things
and
talk
about
those
things
as
part
of
that
planning
process.
We.
E
Want
to
be
respectful
of
our
current
business
owners
that
are
in
the
area
and
also
the
residents
that
live
in
the
area
too,
because
the
last
thing
you
want
is
agreed
a
mess
on
the
roadways.
Okay
and
then
can
you
give
me
another
example
of
what
the
limited
works
open
on
the
retail
building
function.
I
need
to
grasp
at
a
little
bit
better
I,
don't.
O
Think
I
understand
it
so
right
now
under
the
districts
that
have
limited
areas
for
retail,
if
you
think
about
me
like
alt
19
as
the
mean
corridor
through
the
district,
when
you
go
out
from
that
corridor
because
that's
on
in
a
five
category,
that's
in
a
five
category
and
then
the
mean
downtown
along
Tarpon
avenues
of
five
category.
Outside
of
that,
when
you
start
looking
at
the
actual
plan,
I
don't
have
the
whole
district
here
to
look
at.
O
But
if
you
look
at
the
district
wide
you'll
see
that
there's
a
force
all
around
that
area
there
T's
just
designate
the
different
allowed
uses,
essentially
as
what
it
do
it
doing.
Some
uses
are
allowed.
Some
uses.
Aren't
everything
that's
kind
of
outside
that
Tarpon,
the
main
downtown
Tarpon
of
downtown
and
alt
19
is
restricted
into
that
retail
use.
So
they
can
only
do
small
retail
there
and
they
can
only
do
these
limited
restaurants
there.
O
There
is
no
other
allowance
for
a
large
restaurant,
so
I'm
talking
areas
like
on
orange
areas
on
tarping
have
going
down
towards
the
Bayou.
Those
are
in
those
restricted
categories
where
the
retail
use
is
restricted
down
to
small
retail
use,
so
you're
not
going
to
get
a
large
store
down
there,
based
on
the
way
the
zoning
categories
are
set
right
now,
so
that's
I
mean
that's.
O
E
O
And
again,
you're
going
to
drive
that,
because
you're
going
to
do
there
go
those
uses.
Those
larger
retail
uses
also
have
to
have
more
companies.
They're
gonna
want
a
drive-thru
they're
going
to
want
those
things
are
restricted
in
these
districts.
So
while
yes,
the
use
the
size
of
the
use
might
be
able
to
get
there
dependent
the
other
dependent
uses
that
they
have
are
subordinate
uses
that
come
along
with
those
uses,
won't
work
here
because
they're
not
allowed
okay,
so
the
accessory
pieces
don't
work,
unfortunately,
which,
for
some
of
those
larger
retail,
okay.
E
O
In
this
particular
in
this
particular
amendment,
this
is
amendment
for
the
district
wide,
so
statutorily
what's
required
is
what
we
amend.
We,
we
are
Manning
the
district
on
a
whole.
So
when
you
amend
the
district
on
the
whole,
the
only
requirement
for
notice
is
the
advertisement
of
newspaper
for
the
ordinance
amendment.
It
isn't
we're
not
required
to
notice
the
individual
property
owners
within
this
because
we're
not
changing
we're
changing
on
district-wide
basis,
not
on
an
individual
lot
basis.
Okay,.
O
O
It's
limited
to
the
bed-and-breakfast
to
the
smaller
scale,
but
lodging
was
contemplated,
but
certainly
right
across
the
street
is
one
on
the
other
side
of
Roosevelt
is
one
of
the
areas
that
we
potentially
have
had
people
interested
in
for
who
on
a
hotel
site.
So
again,
the
limiting
factor
becomes
some
of
the
historic
uses
that
you
have
in
that
area
and
your
pattern
you're.
Actually,
your
grid
pattern
for
the
roadways
has
become
an
issue
on
that
property.
Okay,
all.
E
L
A
And
then
I
want
to
thank
you
for
spending
time
in
discussing
the
the
special
district
with
me,
and
it
was
very
helpful-
has
been
our
goal
to
attract
more
businesses
down
to
the
area
and
I
think
by
your
modifying
the
the
special
district
they're
working,
which
is
that
the
allowing
in
more
corrosion
more
restaurants.
Yes,
that
would
be
very
useful
to
the
area
and
I
think
a
wise
thing
to
do.
I
like
to
hear
from
from
the
businesses
down
there
doing
see
what
their
opinion
is
and
their
recommendation.
P
Hi
Julian,
Russell,
6-1-6
island
drive,
tarpon
springs,
of
course,
I'm
sure
most
of
you
know,
I
own
rusty
bellies
and
so
I
encourage
additional
businesses
to
come
into
the
area.
My
comment
mainly
is
the
fact
that
one
not
being
notified
by
finding
out
just
today
that
this
was
happening.
It's
kind
of
a
little
disheartening,
because
you
know
I
am
involved
in
the
community
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
lose
the
fishing
portion
of
in
the
stone
crab
traps
and
they
a
being
the
ability
to
unload
boats.
P
That
is
something
that
has
been
our
heritage
and
tarpon
springs
heritage
for
many
many
years.
I
think
another
area
that
Commission
needs
to
look
at
is
the
fact
that
there
is
a
lot
of
limit
to
the
amount
of
parking
that
is
down
there,
and
you
know
we
have
gone
our
our
family
has
gone
out
and
purchased
quite
a
bit
of
parking
in
the
past
32
years
that
we've
been
there
to
just
be
able
to
accommodate
our
own
restaurant
and
I
think
that
these
changes
will
bring
more
people.
P
But
what
I
find
is
the
docks
themselves
with
the
charging
for
the
you
know
parking
on
the
dots
themselves
in
us
trying
to
as
a
family
trying
not
to
do
that.
We
seem
to
get
a
lot
of
the
overflow
of
parking,
because
it's
free
and
I
think
that
no
matter
what
I
think
the
Commission
needs
to
look
at
the
fact
that
it's
going
to
need
some
parking
to
be
able
to
accommodate
several
other
restaurants
in
the
area.
P
I
think
it
can
work,
but
I
think
that
that's
going
to
be
a
problem
and
we're
already
limited
on
our
space
as
far
as
our
parking
is
concerned,
so
I
think
that
that
is
an
area
that
needs
to
be
worked
on,
I'm
all
for
making
the
changes
to
make
things
better.
So
I,
you
know,
look
at
it.
It's
positive!
Okay!
Q
Q
Recently,
this
year,
I've
bought
for
other
Lots
on
that
block
off
of
Island
Drive
I.
Also
in
Turtle
Cove
Marina
I
started
that
project
in
2002
in
this
town
and
I'm
still
here,
I
am
all
for
bringing
more
people
to
the
town.
I
know
90%
of
my
boaters,
currently
Park
at
my
facility
and
go
to
other
restaurants
in
that
area
that
are
located
right.
There.
Q
I
do
agree
that
there
is
a
parking
issue
down
there,
but
I
do
feel
from
what
staff
has
talked
about
being
able
to
work
together
with
adjacent
business
owners
that
have
the
potential
of
lots
that
are
already
there
can
be.
You
know,
blended
together
with
existing
businesses
that
want
to
come
into
the
area
I'm
all
for
helping
another
business
owner
be
successful
and
I'm.
Just
for
the
amendment
and
that's
about
all
I
would
say
thank.
A
O
I
mean
potentially,
depending
upon
any
further
restrictions
that
you
put
on
there.
I
would
like
to
see
the
business
owners
down
there
come
together
and
kind
of
talk
about
what
they
want,
what
they
want
that
area
to
look
like
what
is
it
that
they're
trying
to
maintain
because
I
agree,
I
think
that
part
of
the
draw
of
that
waterfront
isn't
just
the
waterfront?
It's
the
history,
that's
there,
and
what
does
that
history?
Look
like.
O
O
I
used
to
go
to
the
wharf
every
year
in
Nantucket
and
and
spend
time
there
I
mean
it
that's
very
common
from
the
environment
that
I
came
from,
so
those
can
be
codified
in
there,
and
if
those
are
the
types
of
things
that
folks
want
to
see
down
there,
we
certainly
can
find
that
and
find
ways
to
integrate
that
into
the
environment
and
and
and
make
that
you
know
the
basis
for
that
place,
making
it
a
little
bit
of
a
more
unique
environment
in
that
particular
little
portion
of
Island
Drive.
Thank.

10
a
resolution
of
the
Board
of
Commissioners
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
Florida,
authorizing
changes
in
the
organization
of
utilities,
functions
within
the
Public
Services
Department,
specifically,
including
adding
apprentice,
technician
and
mechanic
positions,
upgrading
certain
technician
and
coordinator
positions
to
a
higher
wage
grade,
revising
position,
descriptions
and
providing
for
an
effective
date.
Hereof.
N
Good
evening
Paul
Smith
public
services
director
since
the
RO
plan
came
online
in
late
2015,
we've
gained
some
valuable
experience
on
our
new
water
system.
That
water
system
includes
not
only
the
RO
facility,
but
all
of
the
pipes
that
take
that
water
to
our
customers
and
additional
resources
are
required,
primarily
at
the
front
line
worker
level
to
accomplish
our
services
and
maintain
our
infrastructure,
and
this
item
proposes
to
accomplish
this.
I
also
want
to
add.
It
is
included
in
our
current
rate
plan.
N
So
some
of
the
benefits
of
this
additional
personnel
I
speak
of
this
is
primarily
an
hour.
Water
distribution,
its
collection
and
utilities,
maintenance
divisions,
and
this
is
to
provide
our
required
backflow
inspections
and
reclaim
water
connection
inspections,
new
installations
to
be
scheduled
and
completed
more
quickly,
system,
flushing
and
valve
operation,
hydrant,
maintenance
on
the
water
system
and
then
over
on
the
sewer
area,
doing
the
required
video
inspection
and
cleaning
of
the
sewer
lines.
We
also
have
the
ability
to
self
perform
instead
of
contract,
our
maintenance
and
smaller
scale.
N
Construction
projects
will
have
increased
utilities,
maintenance,
mechanic
capabilities
for
more
in
house
maintenance
and
repair
additional
staff
to
allow
for
response
to
daily
calls
and
inquiries.
There's
a
tremendous
amount
of
daily
unpredictable
workload
that
these
divisions
face.
So
this
is
something
that
just
will
help
us
provide
our
services
more
efficiently
and
then
provide
more
career
pathways.
N
One
of
the
things
I'm
very
proud
of
is
our
apprentice
program
that
you
all
support
it,
and
this
is
something
that
we're
finding
great
success
with
promoting
from
within
introducing
a
career
for
someone
to
start
out
and
then
stay
with
the
organization.
In
fact,
we've
had
our
best
success
with
that
approach
versus
hiring
higher
level
experienced
people
from
the
outside,
and
this
will
provide
additional
resources
in
the
event
of
emergencies,
which
would
include
hurricane
events,
which,
unfortunately,
are
becoming
all
too
common.
These
days,.
N
Summary
of
the
reorganization,
what
is
being
proposed
is
three
position
upgrades
and
five
additional
positions
I
want
to
emphasize
again.
These
are
frontline
level
type
positions.
These
are
the
workers,
the
boots
on
the
ground,
the
people
that
get
that
work
done
out
in
the
field
every
day.
It
really
will
reflect
on
our
productivity,
I
like
to
show
it
graphically
here.
I've
got
some
color-coded
boxes
here.
N
The
green
shows
the
proposed
upgraded
positions,
the
three
positions
I
mentioned,
and
these
include
upgrading
a
technician
3
to
what's
called
a
lead
technician
position
on
both
the
water
side
in
the
sewer
collection
side.
What
this
will
allow
us
to
do
is
there's
a
lot
of
paperwork
associated
with
these
daily
activities.
Record-Keeping
logging
work
order
processing
and
that
sort
of
thing.
N
The
other
upgrade
is
promoting
going
from
a
technician,
one
to
a
technician,
two
on
one
of
the
crews
designated
for
installations
on
the
water
distribution
side,
and
this
will
allow
the
lead
worker
type
of
approach
to
again
train,
supervise
and
assist
with
the
work.
The
five
new
positions
include
a
dedicated
position
for
utility
locates,
that's
very
important.
We
get
a
tremendous
volume
of
these
requests
and
this
is
anytime,
there's
construction,
relocation,
any
kind
of
work
going
on,
or
those
utilities
nearby
work
required
to
locate
our
utilities
within
a
set
amount
of
time.
N
That's
a
pretty
short
timeframe.
If
we
don't
respond
in
time,
our
utilities
are
at
risk
of
being
damaged
and
we
really
have
no
recourse.
This
is
something
we
really
need
to
staff.
It's
sort
of
a
rotated
part-time
type
function
right
now.
We
really
need
to
dedicate
a
position
to
doing
that.
The
other
one
is
over
on
the
sewer
area.
It's
a
maintenance
repair
technician
to
lead
that
crew
and
then
the
final
two
positions
on
this
org
chart
are
apprentice
level
positions
on
the
water
distribution
side
and
the
sewage
collection
side.
N
N
Mentioned
before,
how
are
we
planning
to
pay
for
this?
This
has
been
already
anticipated
in
our
current
rate.
Study
that's
been
approved
and
we've
also
minimized
what
we're
asking
for
in
Terps
of
the
in
terms
of
the
costs
and
how
we've
done
that
is
at
the
top
management
level.
We
combine
positions
when
one
of
those
positions
retired.
N
We
combine
them
into
one
position,
so
that's
an
ongoing
savings
that
we
have
and
then
we're
maintaining
vacant
and
frozen
positions
in
areas
where
the
staffing
is
adequate.
For
example,
at
our
wastewater
plant.
We
have
enough
coverage
right
now,
even
though
there
is
a
vacant,
a
position
we're
keeping
that
vacant
unless
we
need
it
to
provide
savings.
While
we
have
the
coverage,
we
need
we're,
also
advancing
existing
positions
within
staff
instead
of
creating
new
positions.
N
So
in
that
case,
where
a
position
may
be
promoted
with
a
five
to
ten
percent
salary
increase,
that's
a
lot
less
expensive
than
a
brand
new
position
with
benefits.
And
finally,
as
I
mentioned
before,
the
use
of
the
apprentice
positions
allows
us
to
train
from,
within
those
typically
start
at
a
lower
pay
level,
and
that
pay
level
is
less
than
if
you
hired
a
top-of-the-range
person
from
the
outside.
N
So
all
that
put
together,
our
total
annual
cost
is
approximately
$115,000,
including
benefits
for
all
of
these
proposed
upgrades
and
new
positions,
which
is
really
a
very
fair
price.
Considering
all
the
work
that
we're
planning
to
get
out
of
that
so
that
concludes
my
presentation.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
We.
A
E
E
I
also
really
value
the
fact
that
you're
able
to
evaluate
your
staff
and
see
that
there's
not
necessarily
a
need
and
the
one
area
of
the
department
and
that
you're
not
backfilling
at
just
the
backfill
position
and
I
think
that's
valuable
and
all
departments
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
just
hiring
is
to
hire
to
fill
a
spot.
But
then
you
also
see
the
need
and
other
part
to
your
department
as
well,
so
I'm
encouraged
to
do
this.
E
N
A
I
You
Paul
I'm
sure
this
wasn't
done
in
a
day,
so
I
really
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
it
took
to
to
get
to
this
end
result
because
I
can
see
all
the
changes
and
and
how
much
you've
worked
on
it.
I
really
like
the
idea
of
the
apprentice
technicians,
I
know
that
they've
worked
and
you
can
get
people
in
that
may
never
even
thought
to
be
in
this
type
of
field
that
that
liked
it
and
stay
and
and
move
on
so
I
really
like
that
and-
and
it's
been
working
also
combining
positions.
N
A
H
You
I,
just
you
know
I
would
just
want
to
echo
my
fellow
commissioners.
This
is
a
great
idea,
Paul
and
you
you
work
so
hard
for
us
and
I,
do
appreciate
what
you
do,
and
this
reorg
really
makes
sense
and
again,
for
only
what
is
it
a
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
the
year
increase?
I
think
this
is
great
for
the
city
and
this
the
apprentice
program,
I
just
love
that
idea.
I
love
it
because
you
know
we
do
you
know
it
take.
H
We
lose
a
lot
of
people
and
it
takes
so
much
time
to
hire
and
train
and
it
takes
time
and
money,
so
we
can
always
I
always
believe
from
promoting
from
within
I.
Think
that
is
the
great
you
know,
they're
familiar
with
the
city,
how
everything
works
and
I
mean
this
shows
that
we
appreciate
them
and
that
they've
worked
hard
for
some.
You
know
we're
willing
to
promote
so
I
I
will
support
this
idea.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
A
Actually,
the
three
positions
that
out
of
the
fight
that
you
asked
and
it's
actually
to
backfill
the
three
positions
that
you're
going
to
promote
from
not
lishus
to
position
is
that
you
getting
ready
for
growth
and
to
do
maintenance
on
our
own
network.
I.
Think
it's
a
good
thing
to
do
that
and
prepare
for
the
future
and
I'm
your
favorite.
E
A
A
K
Just
the
annual
ICP
conference
yeah,
we
had
last
week
the
annual
IC
conference
in
Orlando,
which
pretty
much
a
global
organization
milada
a
lot
of
people.
Were
there
a
lot
of
classes,
a
lot
of
training
I've
been
just
shows
just
absolutely
huge,
Oh
God.
We
had
a
good
conference,
a
lot
of
class,
took
some
classes
on
homeless
issues
and
we're
doing
about
everything
we
can
do
based
on.
K
You
know
some
of
the
things
going
on
around
the
country,
especially
from
a
PD
perspective
of
a
homeless
outreach
officer,
but
that's
good
when
that
conference
comes
close
by
and
we
you
know,
we
I
went
with
both
majors
and
you
know
we
took
a
bunch
of
different
classes,
so
we
got
a
lot
out
of
it.
Thank
you.
A
L
Tomorrow,
sometime
tomorrow
morning,
you'll
begin
the
agenda
for
our
work
session
on
the
22nd.
If
you
consider
the
Brooks
of
it
is
we're.
Gonna
talk
about
the
2018-2019
year,
we're
gonna
talk
about
projects
that
are
budgeted.
We're
gonna
talk
about
some
ideas
that
aren't
budgeted
and
if
you're,
really
taking
I'm
gonna
have
most
the
staff
a
lot
of
staff
involved
there.
L
So
what
I
consider
this
work
session
is
a
communication
effort
between
the
city
manager,
staff
and
the
Commission
go
over
the
major
projects
to
hear
any
other
concerns
or
anything
that
you
want
to
say
about
it.
We're
gonna
have
to
do
some
prioritization
of
projects
or
we've
got
some
great
ideas
on
some
projects
where
I
need
to
fit
in.
So
it's
not
only
looking
at
this
budget,
there's.
L
Obviously,
as
I've
said
for
some
people
with
some
ideas,
we've
probably
got
two
and
a
half
years
of
projects
out
there,
so
we
just
want
to
go
over
what
we've
got
budgeted
other
projects.
We
want
to
give
you
to
update
from
the
last
work
session
on
some
of
the
beautification
things.
We've
been
working
on
and
get
some
more
ideas.
L
So
it's
gonna
be
a
big
discussion
session
between
all
of
us
to
talk
about
what
we're
gonna
see
planning
getting
a
lot
done
this
year,
obviously
again
we're
facing
the
vote
in
November,
not
the
Tarpan
item,
one
but
the
election
for
the
homestead
exemption.
If
that
passes,
we
all
know
we're
losing
immediately
a
half
million
dollars
from
our
budget
so
next
year
to
do
a
lot
of
these
projects
without
us
being
forced
by
the
state
to
raise
our
millage
rate
to
do.
It
may
be
thin,
so
I'm
real
excited
about
this
budget
and
money.
L
We
have
to
get
a
lot
of
things
done
and
again,
despite
the
staff
is
a
lot
less
than
the
projects
we
have
we're
going
to
try
to
work
to
get
as
much
done
as
efficiently
and
we
want
the
money
we
have
so
this
is.
This
is
probably
gonna,
be
one
of
our
biggest
years
of
getting
projects
done
and
going
and
I
want
to
make
sure
on
board
with
the
commission
on
the
priorities.
You
know
anything
that
want
to
be
moved
into
and
adjusted
as
we
go
along.
L
So
it's
going
to
be
an
entire
evening
of
discussion
on
that
and
I
say:
draft
agenda
will
be
out
tomorrow.
The
final
agenda
be
out
probably
Thursday
afternoon
Friday
morning,
so
you
get
idea.
We've
got
most
a
lot
of
the
preliminary
back
up
in
again.
The
back
up
might
change,
but
we're
giving
you
a
rough
draft.
So
you
get
an
idea
of
what's
going
on,
but
you
may
want
to
notify
me.
You
want
something
added
to
it.
A
A
I
Thank
you.
Yes,
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
that
mark
and
I'm
happy
that
we're
getting
that
tomorrow,
we
can
look
at
it
and
see
if
there's
anything
that
we
need
to
discuss
her
ad
or
whatever.
So
thank
you
for
getting
that
test
tomorrow.
The
only
other
thing
I
have
to
say
is:
we
have
Oktoberfest
this
weekend
downtown
it's
a
very
big
event.
Very
popular
event
starts
Friday.
It
went
through
Sunday
and
I
hope
you
all
come
out.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
F
E
Like
deteriorating
pretty
bad
and
I,
think
Tom
may
have
already
left.
So
if
we'd
have
someone
go
check
on
those
and
put
some
new
concrete
down
to
make
these
step
steps
again,
that
would
be
helpful,
I
think
also
mark.
Did
we
have
any
updates?
I
know:
I
met
with
some
county
staff
a
few
months
back
and
talked
about
the
crosswalks
on
Spring
Boulevard
and
some
other
parts
in
the
county.
Has
that
had
any
further
conversations.
L
And
I
talked
to
Tom
function
about
that
this
afternoon.
We're
gonna
send
a
written
reminder
to
the
county
to
ask
them.
We
also
want
to
reiterate
in
that
written
reminder
to
them
that
you
know
there
may
be
some
areas
that
we'd
be
willing
to
partner.
In
first
instance,
the
intersection
is
a
county
road,
but
maybe
it
goes
on.
L
You
know
our
streets
of
the
side
streets,
so
we
want
to
emphasize
not
only
for
them,
though
you
wait
and
look
at
those
crosswalk,
but
again
emphasize
that
if
there's
partnerships
that
we
can
jointly
do
a
lot
of
these
things
that
were
really
one
unable
to
do
right
now.
Of
course,
the
county's
got
the
sidewalk
project
going
on
are
mirrors
right.
They're,
like
us,
they've
got
a
ton
of
projects
that
priority,
but
we
are
getting
as
you
can
see
the
work.
L
If
you
got
our
mirrors,
you
see
the
new
sidewalks
leading
down
to
the
Little
League
field.
They've
been
working
diligently
on
those,
so
the
county
has
been
one-by-one
coming
forward
with
with
projects
for
and
stuff.
So
so
again,
Tom's
gonna
send
that
written
down
to
him
again
to
remind
them
that
we
want
to
look
at
these
crosswalks
and
also
we've
got
the
chief
looking
to
some
local
crosswalk.
His
traffic
people
are
gonna.
L
Look
and
that's
you
know
one
of
the
things
that's
on
the
list
to
discuss
for
for
Monday
about
about
where
we're
gonna
look
at
and
see.
If
we
can
improve
our
locust
eyes,
the
County
ones
were
some
of
the
main
intersections
of
walking
that
we
can
improve
our
prospects
for
the
walkable
community.
Yeah.
E
That's
an
important
part
I
think
me
to
sit
down
the
head:
is
the
walkable
part
of
Tarpon
Springs
we've
got
so
many
residents
set,
and
even
people
that
visit
that
want
to
walk
the
Sponge
Docks,
obviously
walk
downtown?
How
do
we
pull
down
town
and
the
Craig
park
and
walk
around
the
Bayou?
We
want
to
make
it
safe.
The
intersection
of
tarpon
have
and
the
Bayou
is
like
to
me
yeah
I.
Don't
it
seems
really
dangerous
for
pedestrians.
So
if
any
way
we
can
encourage.
That
would
be
great
well.
L
E
Do
great
great,
thank
you
very
much.
Also
I
saw
in
the
public
art
committee
minutes
I
read
today
that
I
thought
that
was
a
pretty
good
idea.
They
talked
about
a
art
kind
of
Art
Walk
and
a
crosswalk
and
have
it.
How
do
you
incorporate
art
into
a
crosswalk
and
I
thought
that
was
pretty
neat,
so
I'm
excited
to
see
what
that's
gonna
come.
E
E
If
there's
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
not
buy
the
property
but
work
with
a
lease
of
work
with
the
property
owners
see
if
we
could
somehow
lease
it
over
a
period
of
time
and
put
crushed
shell
or
something
out
there,
I
don't
know
what
the
best
idea
is
or
what
the
cost
might
be.
But
I
think
that
is
worth
looking
into
to
try
to
be
respectful
to
the
business
owners
down
there
and
hopefully
bring
some
additional
people
down
to
that
side
of
the
sponge
docks.
E
Also
from
a
beautification
standpoint,
I
know:
we've
got
a
meeting
on
the
22nd
which
I'm
super
excited
about.
A
lot
of
these
items
have
brought
up
or
the
past
year
and
a
half
just
again
tonight
came
up
with
discussion.
How
did
we,
the
majority
of
our
visitors,
come
to
the
sponge
dock?
So
how
do
we
make
it
and
it
not
necessarily
an
attraction
like
a
theme
park,
but
how
we
continue
to
keep
the
character
of
the
Sponge
Docks.
E
So
if
there's
areas
that
we
could
maybe
buy
stone
crab
traps,
how
do
we
look
at
signage
at
the
front
of
the
Sponge
Docks
I
know
we've
mentioned
about
that
and
still
keep
within
the
history
and
historic
part
of
the
Sponge
Docks.
These
are
some
of
the
items
I'm
looking
forward
to
talking
over
the
next
year
as
well,
to
really
incorporate
the
character
of
the
Sponge
Docks.
Let's
see
and
then
I've
also
talked
to
some
people
that
visited
the
Sponge
Docks
from
other
parts
of
the
area
and
they
both
they've.
These
individuals
have.
L
E
It's
borderline
harassment,
I,
think,
is
what
it
sounds
like
to
me
and
it
sounded
like
it's
not
just
one
person
that
it's
multiple
people
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
careful
as
a
city
on
the
type
of
image
that
we're
putting
into
the
tourism
that
visit
and
the
to
the
tourists
that
visit
our
our
Sponge
Docks,
so
I
think
that's
a
pretty
important
part
to
at
least
keep
an
eye
on.
I
know:
you'll.
I
Commissioner
Khare
I
think
some
of
these
things
that
you
brought
up
we're
going
to
discuss
hopefully
on
the
22nd,
because
there
are
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
a
while.
As
far
as
the
Sponge
Docks.
In
your
comment,
you
just
made
that's
been
ongoing
for
years
and
the
police
department's
been
on
top
of
it
for
years
they
have
certain
rights,
so
we
have
a
difficult
time.
I,
don't
know
if
we
want
to
say
more
about
that
chief,
but
I
I
know
I've
been
talking
about
it
for
as
long
as
I've
been
down
there.
We.
K
A
Walking
community
something
that
would
be
trying
to
accomplish
for
many
years
and
I
like
to
express
my
appreciation
that
I
see
workers
that
repairing
the
sidewalks
on
Grand
Boulevard.
That's
going
yeah
downtown
with
this
point,
search
and
I
see
a
lot
of
people
with
a
common
and
in
a
positive
way.
I
just
wanna
bring
that
up.
