Description
Regular Session and CRA Meeting
A
Now
about
a
week.
Ten
days
ago,
when
this
was
going
through,
the
legislature
I
had
an
opportunity
to
spend
a
few
hours
watching
our
legislature
at
work
and
on
the
one
day
that
the
house
was
debating
the
bill
that
the
Senate
had
passed.
There
were
numerous
amendments
brought
forward
to
restrict
assault
rifles,
to
restrict
magazines,
to
tighten
up
gun
background
checks
to
strengthen
our
school
resource
officers,
to
provide
more
help.
A
Mental
health
support
in
our
schools,
and
some
of
that
did
go
through
and
the
main
bill,
but
the
two
biggest
things
that
were
needed
were
neglected
and
time
and
time
again,
I
can
only
speak
to
our
district
and
we
don't
have
a
senator.
But
in
the
house
our
representative
Chris
Sproles
voted
against
every
every
amendment
that
was
brought
forth
to
resolve
some
of
these
particular
safety
issues.
A
Now
come
Saturday,
there's
going
to
be
a
nationwide
rally,
marches
there's
some
in
st.
Pete
Tampa
I
was
hopeful
that
we
would
have
one
in
Tarpon,
but
I
reached
out
to
the
high
school
I.
Didn't
get
any
response
back
and
also
Craig
parks
gonna
be
busy
this
weekend,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that,
as
we
come
to
primaries
and
then
elections
in
November
remember
who
is
on
what
side
of
these
issues,
because
putting
guns
more
guns
in
schools
is
not
the
answer.
A
The
way
to
do
it
is
have
to
have
trained
officers
who
are
in
schools
if
you're
not
aware
of
it.
They
had
an
incident
today
in
Maryland
and
how
has
that
resolved
a
trained
SRO,
a
trained
SRO,
and
what's
the
other
issue
we're
having
now?
If
you
listen
to
some
of
what's
going
on
from
the
school
boards
and
the
sheriff's,
we
need
approximately
80
more
resource
officers
just
to
cover
the
schools
in
Sam
peak
that
the
legislature
is
mandating,
but
we're
not
getting
the
money
for
it.
B
C
Came
here
and
I
simply
to
thank
the
board.
I
know
that
on
your
agenda
tonight
is
the
issue
regarding
purchase.
The
purchase
is
over
for
that
drug
den
and
I
will
I
also
know
by
asking
around
that.
You
didn't
get
many
thanks
for
what
you
had
to
go
through
to
do
this:
the
health,
safety
and
welfare
of
the
city.
For
each
of
you
who
are
elected
officials
in
case
you
don't
mind
an
old
man
telling
you
don't
ever
forget
that,
although
I
don't
think
all
of
you
remembered
it.
C
But,
however,
the
issue
got
through
commissioner
ban.
Sir
I
mention
you
a
few
months
back.
Don't
give
up
what
you
said.
It
was
perfectly
well
that
was
a
patience
deal,
so
you
would
understand
these
good
things
are
going
to
happen
and
they
did
I
had
opportunity
in
my
life
to
serve
on
very
large
negotiating
committees,
both
on
the
Union
side
at
one
time
and
then
on
management.
Side
and
I
can
tell
you.
This
was
a
case
of
perfect
negotiations
on
your
part.
C
The
chief
his
people
did
an
excellent
job.
Think
about
this.
They
stayed
on
those
people
constantly
to
that
poor
man
who
owned
the
building
couldn't
make
any
money.
If
you
could
believe
that
Mister
diag
know
if
he
he
couldn't
have
given
you
better
references
and
better
direction
than
what
he
did
for
negotiations
as
always
a
negotiator
in
a
union
contract,
whether
it's
on
a
company
cider
of
the
Union
cares,
always
one
person
who
sits
back
and
negotiate
both
ways.
A
lot
of
people
don't
believe
in
this.
But
this
is
the
way
it
happens.
C
The
Board
of
Commissioners
I'm,
proud
of
you
guys,
okay,
I,
think
a
couple
of
you
made
a
mistake
in
your
votes,
but
that's
my
personal
opinion
in
the
irony
of
all
of
that
is
at
the
CRA
meeting
the
night
you're
gonna
get
a
chance
to
vote
for
utilizing
that
property
and
running
that
building
for
CRA
purposes
that
you
voted
against.
I
can't
say
that
I
agree
with
that
and
I'm
not
here
to
embarrass
you
for
doing
that,
because
you
did
what
you
thought
was
right.
C
The
mayor
was
a
poker
player
in
this
okay
and
not
just
because
Chris
and
I
are
friends
and
we've
been
friends
for
life
and
I
baptized.
His
son
I.
Don't
have
any
problem
admitting
that,
because
the
only
person
that's
more
hard-headed
than
me
as
him
and
he'll
say
the
same
thing,
he
thinks
I'm
more
hard-headed,
but
it's
not
true.
He
knew
what
he
wanted.
He
stuck
to
his
guns.
C
He
played
his
poker
game
and
with
the
direction
of
your
city
manager,
who
was
the
chief
negotiator
who
knows
through
experience
how
to
negotiate
not
only
a
labor
contract
but
a
contract
that
affects
the
city
as
a
whole,
yeah
and
I'm.
Here
to
tell
you
I
appreciate
it
guys.
I
really
do
usually
I
come
paper
and
tell
you
I,
don't
like
what
you
did,
but
I
can
tell
you
right
now.
I
like
what
you
did.
You
did
the
right
thing.
C
C
Time's
up,
okay,
give
me
one
more.
Second,
he
has
a
master's
degree
in
accounting,
okay,
that's
kind
of
nerdy
to
me
for
a
guy
somebody
with
an
F
master's
degree
in
the
county.
You
don't
have
to
put
your
head
down
I'm,
picking
on
you
to
end
up
being
the
police
chief,
but
one
hell
of
a
police
chief
on
hell
of
a
city
manager.
You
guys
did
a
great
job.
Thank
you.
So
much
thank.

What
else
libraries
are
not
just
about
what
they
have
for
people,
but
what
they
do
for
and
with
people,
and
whereas
library
libraries
have
long
serve
as
trusted
in
treasure,
institutions
and
library,
workers
in
librarians
futile
efforts
to
better
their
communities,
campuses
in
schools
in
what,
as
librarians,
continue
to
lead
the
way
in
leveling
the
playing
field
for
all
all
who
seek
information
and
access
to
the
technologies.
B
What
else
libraries
and
librarians
look
beyond
their
traditional
roles
and
provide
opportunities
for
education,
employment,
empowerment
and
engagement,
as
well
as
the
new
services
that
connect
closely
with
the
page
of
needs
and
what
else
libraries
are
pioneers?
Supporting
democracy
and
social
changes,
with
a
commitment
to
provide
access
to
information
for
all
libraries
for
library,
users
and
whereas
libraries,
librarians
library,
workers
and
supporters?
Of
course,
American
are
celebrating
National,
Library
Week
and
now
therefore,
at
Crystal,
who
is
by
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
in
me.
D
B
You
and
I
want
to
thank
all
the
staff,
the
library
staff,
the
Friends
of
the
library,
all
the
volunteers,
which
we
had
our
appreciation
breakfast
the
other
day,
if
you
please
tell
them
that
we
thank
you
for
the
outstanding
services
they're
providing
thank
you
any
Commission
Commons,
and
you
probably
comments
on
this
item
here.
None.
The
next
item
is
number
two
water
conservation
month
by
Smurf
enter.
Thank.
E
Now,
therefore,
I
I
of
bite,
Vice
Mayor,
David
bantha
by
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
in
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Tarpon,
Springs
Florida,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
April
2018
as
water
conservation
month
and
I
call
upon
each
citizen
in
business
to
help
protect
our
precious
resource
by
practicing
water
saving
measures
and
becoming
more
aware
of
the
need
to
save
water.
So
we
accepted
by
paul
smith,
urban
services.
F
Even
impulse
smith
public
services
director,
just
a
few
brief
comments.
You
know
this
is
particularly
important
to
us
and
meaningful
now
that
we
have
our
own
water
supply.
Our
own
water
resources
that
we
have
to
protect
water
conservation
is
something
that
we're
really
looking
hard
at
continuing
to
improve.
We
have
reclaimed
water
program
very
highly
developed.
We
have
water
conserving
rates
and
we're
also
looking
into
the
future
of
rolling
out
some
more
conservation
initiatives
to
help
incentivize
this
with
our
customers.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
We
kind
of
have
this
feeling
that
it's
a
you
know,
everlasting
and
always
pure
and
stuff.
So
I
applaud
all
the
efforts
that
the
city
does
to
provide
the
clean
water
and,
as
Paul
just
said,
also
it's
important
to
protect
our
water
sources
being
that
a
number
of
them
are
on
the
north
side
of
the
river.
It's
important
that
we
continue
to
monitor
and
make
sure
that
the
water
is
quality
water
and
not
any
pollutants
that
have
flowed
into
it.
A
But
we
have
other
pollutants
and
it's
kind
of
interesting
I
was
at
my
mom's
and
one
of
the
neighbors
came
by
and
she
asked
me
to
sign
a
petition
and
I
guess:
there's
going
to
be
a
Wawa
that
wants
to
be
built
on
the
corner
of
alternate,
19
and
mirrors,
and
from
my
understanding
that
would
be
the
northwest
corner,
which
we've
all
seen
of
late
a
lot
of
clearing
on
now.
If
any
of
you
know
that
corner.
A
A
B
C
H
Be
giving
them
a
plaque
that
evening
at
the
dinner
presenting
them
with
a
plaque,
they
have
a
dinner
anybody's,
welcome
in
the
community
to
come.
These
people
don't
know
that
there
have
been
nominated,
so
they
won't
know
until
that
evening.
Who's
won
and
we
get
a
great
turnout
every
year.
Just
to
thank
people
on
our
community
for
everything
they
do.
I
B
H
I'm,
an
officer
of
the
lodge
anyway,
so
I
do
we
do
a
lot
of
volunteer
work
up
there
and
again.
This
is
one
of
we
love
doing
this
this
event
every
year,
it's
just
a
great
way
to
bring
the
community
together
and
we
have
a
lot
of
fun,
I'm,
not
sure.
If
Chiefs
going
I
know,
everybody's
been
invited,
I'll.
H
J
F
So
tonight
we're
presenting
the
fiscal
year
or
2018
rather
revenue
sufficiency,
analysis
and
a
proposed
future
rate
plan
for
your
consideration,
we're
not
asking
for
any
sort
of
vote
tonight.
This
is
a
presentation
just
to
give
you
a
advance
preview
of
what
will
be
recommending
to
you
by
ordinance
later.
F
Before
I
get
any
further,
let
me
do
some
introductions
so
with
us
tonight.
Ron
herring,
finance
director.
You
also
be
participating
in
the
presentation
and
our
rate
consultant
is
Stan,
Tech,
formerly
known
as
Burton
and
associates,
and
we
have
Eric
growl
with
us,
and
Deborah
Klockner
and
Eric
will
be
presenting
the
Burton
portion
or
the
Stantec
portion
of
the
presentation.
F
So,
as
you
may
know,
this
firm
has
performed
studies
for
us
for
20-plus
years.
We've
worked
very
well
with
them
and
they
helped
us
through
some
very
complex
planning
for
the
new
water-supply
very
successfully,
and
this
is
really
a
continuation
of
that
work
together,
as
we
move
through
the
years
planning
ahead
in
these
10
year
windows
and
providing
recommendations
to
you
to
sustain
our
operations.
F
F
As
you
all
know,
it's
very
important
to
us
and
the
public
to
maintain
investment
in
our
infrastructure,
with
all
the
recent
things
with
the
sewer
systems,
and
we
also
know
the
value
of
our
water
pipes.
We
want
you
to
know
that
we've
put
heavy
investment
plans
into
this
rate
model.
You
can
see
some
of
the
example
figures.
Those
are
10-year
totals
for
those
particular
types
of
items:
water,
pipe
replacements,
sewer
line,
maintenance,
lift
stations,
future
water
wells,
hydrants,
sewer
expansion,
reclaimed
water
expansion,
but
also
some
other
things
that
are
important
to
the
community.
F
F
Another
item
I
wanted
to
point
out
is
the
personnel
we
see
some
future
needs
for.
Maintaining
our
infrastructure
and
I
wanted
to
show
you
some
examples
of
what
we're,
including
in
the
rape
model.
We've
got
five
proposed
position
additions
and
three
upgrades
of
positions.
I
want
to
point
out.
These
are
boots
on
the
ground.
What
we're
proposing
here
are
apprentice
positions,
technicians
and
mechanics
all
working
towards
keeping
our
infrastructure
working
properly
and
I'll.
Just
briefly
give
you
the
examples
of
these
positions.
This
includes
water
service
worker
position.
F
Another
area
is
the
project
administration
department,
that's
directed
by
Bob
Robertson,
and
this
is
a
proposed
position
in
the
plan
for
fiscal
year
19.
It's
one
new
position
to
assist
with
review
planning,
construction
oversight
and
compliance.
One
half
would
be
funded
through
the
water
and
sewer
with
the
other
half
split
between
general
fund
and
stormwater,
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Ron
herring.
To
talk
about
the
background
of
the
adjustments.
K
Good
evening,
mayor
conditioners
are
on
hearing
finance
director
just
want
to
go
over
the
history
of
the
rate,
so
the
previous
approved
ten-year
rates,
I
could
say
we
had
a
ten-year
rage
back
approved
back
in
10th
2010
for
ten
years
for
water
and
sewer.
The
final
year
is
the
approved
rate
in
fiscal
year.
Nineteen
is
six
point,
seven
five
percent
and
back
then
the
alternative
water
supply
plan
was
developed
water
supply
independence
and
to
be
able
to
control
over
our
rates.
I'm,
not
sure.
K
K
Now
this
is
just
a
history
of
the
rates
that
were
approved
back
in
2010
with
the
water
rates
and
then
the
sewer
rates
going
back
from
2010
down
to
2019
the
current
year
being
fiscal
year,
2018
at
the
six
point:
seven
five
percent
for
both
water
and
sewer
fiscal
year
19
next
fiscal
year.
The
rates
are
at
six
point:
seven:
five
percent,
each
for
water
and
sewer.
K
Now
financial
highlights
of
the
proposed
plan
funds,
58
million
of
CIP,
that's
capital
improvements
for
fiscal
years,
2018
of
2028
that
23
million
you
saw
in
the
previous
slide
is
included
in
that
unrestricted
fund
balance
above
the
25
percent
minimum
the
water
and
sewer
fund
paid
based
on
our
fund
balance
policy,
has
a
25
percent
minimum
requirement
that
service
coverage
about
above
requirements
with
the
bond
with
the
bond
covenants.
We
have
there's
a
minimum.
That's
that
revenue
requirement
we
need
to
meet
in
the
proposal.
K
There's
no
financing
required
and
the
reduce
is
a
rate
of
increases
and
even
the
previously
approved
2019
increase
in
the
proposal.
Instead
of
the
6.75%
we're
proposing
to
reduce
it
to
five
per
five
percent
for
both
water
and
sewer,
and
with
that
I'll
give
you
Eric
growl,
they
managing
consultant
with
Stan
Tech.
L
L
To
the
extent
that
the
current
rate
plan
would
not
generate
the
projected
revenues
to
satisfy
all
of
those
requirements.
We
would
then
develop
alternative
rate
plans
or
recommend
a
rate
plan
that
would
satisfy
such
requirements
and
then
we
wrapped
up
with
an
update
to
our
annual
water
and
sewer
utility
rate
survey
that
we
complete
each
year
for
of
other
entities
within
the
surrounding
area.
But
this
time
we
did
it
with
more
of
an
eye
towards
the
future
as
to
what
were
the
known
increases
for
the
area
beyond
2018.
L
And
so,
with
respect
to
key
assumptions
pertaining
to
funding
sources
in
our
in
our
ten-year
model
for
assessments,
as
has
been
stated,
the
final
year
of
the
last
ten
year
rate
plan
is
scheduled
for
fiscal
year
2019
and
so
effective
October
1
of
20
Water
and
Sewer
Epson.
Any
changes
will
be
a
6.75%
increase,
our
operating
fund
balances
or
unrestricted
reserves,
as
of
September
30
2017,
so
ending
fund
balances
for
fiscal
year,
17
was
approximately
5.8
million
dollars.
L
That's
important
because
that's
our
beginning
fund
balance
from
which
we
build
our
10-year
projection
and
finally
absent
any
further
rate
adjustments
than
the
6.75%
that's
been
adopted.
We
are
assuming
organic
growth
of
about
a
quarter
percent
per
year
from
an
assumed
25,
new
water
and
sewer
connections
each
year
for
the
forecast,
with
the
one
caveat
being
that
on
the
sewer
side,
were
assuming
90
additional
sewer
connections
over
this
year
next
year,
due
to
recently
completed
sewer
system,
expansion.
L
We
assume
a
3%
annual
cost
inflation
to
the
CIP
budget
that
we
were
provided
as
the
FY
18
budget,
the
10-year
CIP
and
then
adopted
and
modified
at
an
interactive
work
session
with
staff
assuming
the
cost
inflation,
as
well
as
spending
execution
assumptions
that
align
closer
to
actual
spending
verse
budget.
On
the
capital
side,
it
amounts
to
about
5.2
million
dollars
per
year
of
capital
spending
and
then
with
respect
to
the
financial
policies,
are
two
that
we
monitor,
specifically
the
first
being
the
working
capital
reserve
target.
L
This
is
equal
to
25
percent
of
annual
operating
expenditures
for
the
year.
It's
a
minimum
target.
It
ranges
from
2.3
million
dollars
in
2018
to
as
high
as
three
point
six
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
eight
to
put
this
in
perspective,
the
the
2.3
million
czar
minimum
target,
but
we're
starting
2018
with
five
point:
eight
million
dollars.
So
we
have
some
some
room
of
unrestricted
reserves
above
that
minimum
target
and
then
finally,
debt
service
coverage
requirements
per
the
terms
of
the
outstanding
debt
of
the
utility.
L
The
utility
must
generate
net
annual
revenues
that
are
at
least
1.1
times
greater
than
the
annual
debt
service
requirement
or
1.05
annual
debt
service.
If,
when
combining
net
revenues
with
impact
fees,
coverage
is
at
least
one
point
two
times:
debt
service
coverage
or
the
debt
service
requirement.
However,
for
our
planning
purposes,
we've
assumed
a
minimum
planning
target
of
1.5
o
times
just
on
net
revenues
alone.
L
What
I'm
going
to
show
you
next
are
two
alternative
scenarios
to
kind
of
frame
the
conversation
and
what
you'll
see
up
here.
I
know
it's
a
lot
is
our
summary
dashboard
from
the
financial
model
and
I've
called
out,
knowing
that
there's
a
lot
of
here,
I've
kind
of
called
out
the
areas
of
note
with
these
orange
rectangles
as
well
as
so
this
scenario,
I'll
call
it
our
status
quo
scenario.
It
assumes
that.
L
L
Now
this
decline
and
coverage
is
a
result
of
fundamentally
well
on
one
side
of
the
equation,
we're
leaving
rate
revenues
flat
from
this
part
on,
but
on
the
denominator
side
we
are
now
projecting
the
need
for
borrowing
beginning
in
fiscal
year
2024,
as
seen
in
this
chart
right
here,
and
this
one
right
here
is
a
it
shows,
the
mix
of
funding
sources
for
the
anticipated
capital
spending
amounts
and
these
red
bars.
These
red
sections
represent
the
borrowing
that
we're
showing
here.
So
the
vast
majority
of
the
capital
program
beyond
20
24
25,
would.
M
L
Funded
without
any
further
rate
adjustments,
it's
also
impacts
are
unrestricted
reserve
funds.
You
can
see
here
we
have
our
healthy
5.8
million
dollar
balance
an
excess
above
our
target,
however,
by
2023
were
down
to
that
target
and
really
by
fiscal
year
2026
we
begin
to
fall
beneath
the
target
and
by
2028
unrestricted
reserves
would
be
exhausted.
L
This
is
more.
This
is
also
seen
I
guess
in
this
chart
here,
where
we
track
our
revenues.
Vers
expenses
and
what's
key
about
this
chart,
is
to
focus
on
this
bottom
green
line,
and
then
the
top
blue
on
the
bottom
green
line
is
our
cash
outflows,
excluding
cash
funded
capital.
So,
in
other
words,
that's
your
ongoing
annual
kind
of
operating
expenditures,
and
it's
it's
traveling.
You
know
up
to
the
right
corner
of
the
graph.
L
This
blue
line
represents
our
cash
in,
and
so
what
you
don't
want
to
see
what
makes
a
plan
unsustainable
is
when
your
cash
outflows
are
growing
at
a
quicker
rate
than
your
cash
inflows,
and,
in
fact,
under
this
scenario,
the
cash
outflows
would
actually
cross
over
the
cash
inflows
by
fiscal
year.
2026
it's
to
adjust
this
cash
flow
problem.
Would
require
pretty
large
rates
if
one
were
to
wait
to
that
point
to
change
the
rates,
but
this
is
not
a
sustainable
plan.
L
L
Five
are
currently
planning
on
rate
adjustments,
ranging
between
four
and
eleven
and
a
half
percent
per
year
over
the
near
future
and
for
other
utilities
are
either
currently
conducting
their
own
rate
studies
or
plan
on
doing
so
relatively
soon,
with
an
expectation
that
there
would
be
some
need
for
rate
adjustments
in
the
future.
So
that's
nine
out
of
the
thirteen
that
that
we
would
normally
talk
to.
Thank
you.
B
F
May
finish
up
with
some
conclusions
here,
so
to
recap,
no
future
increases
leaves
insufficient
funding.
As
Eric
pointed
out
in
detail,
their
inflationary
increases
will
fund
our
needs
without
debt,
we're
able
to
reduce
our
fiscal
year.
Nineteen
increase
to
five
percent
and
then
to
point
nine
percent
thereafter,
which
is
considered
an
inflationary
increase.
I
also
want
to
point
out.
The
city
manager
had
us
review
this
with
the
budget
Advisory
Committee,
and
we
gave
him
this
same
presentation
basically
and
they
recommended
the
plan
as
proposed
a
couple
of
the
comments.
F
So
our
recommendations
for
you
to
consider
our
preparing
and
ordinance
to
make
specific
changes
to
chapter
20,
water
and
sewer,
which
would
include
the
the
rate
plan
that
we're
proposing
to
you
tonight
also
I,
recommend
that
we
apply
those
same
increases
to
reclaim
water
rates
for
the
same
period.
The
reclaimed
water
rates
are
in
that
same
ordinance,
I
want
to
point
out
that
those
rates
have
not
been
revised
in
25
years.
F
What
would
that
do
to
the
rates
you
might
ask?
Well,
if
you
applied
that
ten-year
plan
by
the
tenth
year,
reclaim
water
would
still
be
a
dollar
twenty.
Nine
per
thousand.
That's
about
one
twentieth:
the
cost
of
water,
regular
water,
miscellaneous
administrative
revisions.
There
are
some
outdated
references
in
the
ordinance
now
and
some
general
document
maintenance
things
that
we
would
recommend
as
part
of
that
redraft
and
we
would
recommend
providing
for
an
effective
date
immediately
upon
adoption.
F
So
what
do
we
say?
We
recommend
next
we
recommend
advertising
our
public
hearing
dates
for
the
proposed
rate
increases
that
is
required
by
a
state
statute
through
our
utility
bills
and
those
those
advertisements
need
to
tell
the
public
when
the
hearings
are.
We
recommend
the
first
reading
to
be
May
8th
in
the
second
reading,
May
22nd,
and
upon
passing
of
that
ordinance,
we
would
then
also
recommend,
on
that
same
agenda
approval
of
the
Associated
reorganization
that
I
presented
in
this
presentation
to
you.
B
B
Also
like
to
thank
the
staff
for
working
with
the
consultant
to
complete
the
study
and
bringing
us
your
recommendations,
as
you
stated
that
it
was
men
as
men
dated
that
we
must
have
25%
unrestricted
funds,
which
is
in
our,
which
is
3.6
million.
Well,
our
found
our
unrestricted
funds
at
this
time
is
7.9
almost
8
million
correct.
So
we
do
have
a
lot
of
room
that
we
can
work
with.
B
B
I'm
glad
that
we
recommending
that
you
recommending
that
the
escalation
increase
would
be
reduced
from
six
point:
seven,
five
to
five
percent,
which
is
a
reduction
of
2.90%,
a
question
that
I
have
is
you
gave
us
two
scenarios?
One
scenario
is:
if
we
don't
do
anything
and
the
other
scenario
is
if
we
stay
with
five
percent
increase,
my
question
will
be
if
we
have
something
in
the
middle.
B
F
Mayor
I'd
like
to
point
out
it's
just
that
first
year
we're
recommending
five
percent
instead
of
the
six
point,
seven
five,
but
thereafter
it's
2.9%
and
what
I
want
to
point
out
is
on
that
chart.
We
showed
you
earlier
in
the
last
year.
Those
reserves
dropped
to
just
to
the
point
of
the
bare
minimum,
so
in
other
words,
we
brought
that
number
down
as
low
as
we
could
and
still
have
a
workable
plan.
F
So
what
we
showed
you
with
those
two
alternatives,
do
nothing
and
then
our
lowest
rate
that
we
could
make
everything
work,
and
it
happened
to
be
at
that
inflationary
level.
If
you
recall
the
operating
expenses
increase
about
four
point
three
percent
per
year
and
we're
recommending
two
point:
nine
so
what's
happening
over
time,
we're
gradually
spending
down
those
extra
reserves
that
you
pointed
out
to
make
this
rate
plan
as
low
as
we
can.
The.
B
Reason
I'm
saying
this
is
because,
when
we're
building
the
outer
plant,
one
of
the
promises
that
were
made
to
the
people
is
not
only
we're
going
to
have
it
independence,
it
would
be
in
control
of
our
water,
but
also
our
rates
are
going
to
be
lower.
So
I
want
to
see
if
we
can.
Actually,
you
know,
deliver
what
we
promised.
F
I
understand
mayor
and
I.
Was
there
speaking
and
I
got
those
questions?
A
lot
and
I
always
was
very
careful
to
answer
them
by
saying
I
can't
promise
you
to
lower
the
rates,
but
what
we
will
do
is
control
the
rates,
which
means
those
future
increases
should
be
less
and
that's
what
we're
presenting
to
you
tonight.
Things
go
up
and
cost
over
time.
We
have
a
much
higher
quality
treated
water
than
we
did
before.
In
other
words,
it
starts
as
salty
water.
It
comes
out
as
pristine,
ro
treated
water.
F
That
is
a
more
expensive
process,
but
we've
been
able
to
control
those
costs
very
well,
I
believe
if
we
hadn't
done
that,
if
you
look
at
our
past
increases
of
almost
10
percent
per
year,
it's
much
much
less.
So
it
is
consistent
with
what
we
presented
to
the
public
when
we
went
out.
I
do
understand
your
point
and
we
want
to
work
with
you
on
that
and
we're
presenting.
What
we
believe
is
the
lowest
increases
inflationary
level
that
we
can
sustain
and
still
invests
in
our
infrastructure.
N
You
saw
the
chart
of
what
they
are
doing
and
the
ones
looking
at
it
and
you
saw
the
average
of
five
of
them.
Whatever
is
going
to
be
between
4
and
11.
We're
gonna
be
a
2.9,
so
they're
gonna
catch
up
to
us,
those
ones,
the
ones
that
are
efficient
to
us
and
I'm,
not
gonna
name
the
cities
or
stuff.
But
you
read
about
them
in
the
paper
all
the
time
and
their
infrastructures.
N
You
know
falling
apart
and
around
the
money
to
fix
it,
so
this
is
gonna
again.
This
is
one
of
those
things
that
was
kind
of
scary,
becoming
a
new
city
manager
proposing
those
10
year
rate
increases,
but
I
think
coming
out
afterwards
and
only
going
to
inflationary
for
the
next
10
years
is
way
farther
better
than
the
best
scenario
that
we
could
think
of
it
worked.
N
It
took
a
lot
of
team
and
building
that
plant
to
work,
but
we
do
have
it
at
the
lowest
point
that
we
can
do
and
inflationary
for
the
next
10
years.
You'll
watch
all
those
other
cities
pass
us
because
they
didn't
invest
in
the
front.
It
was
hard
for
that
Commission
that
Commission
to
decide
and
I
think
something
you
may
have
been
on
there.
It
was
hard
to
be
on
that
Commission
to
do
those
tens,
nine
eight
percent
increases,
but
we
told
you
we
need
to
be
ready
because
of
our
old
infrastructure.
N
This
shows
your
wide
judgment,
cuz
we're
not
even
only
there,
but
for
the
next
10
years
we
can
go
to
the
flash
Neri
rates.
Do
all
the
do
all
the
pipes
and
everything
we
needed
to
do
and
how'd
that
so
we
are
very
happy
the
results
and
what
we
wrought
that
what
we're
offering
is
the
lowest
way
we
can
do
to
do
that.
Thank
you.
There.
H
H
But
let
me
just
understand
so
we're
at
6.75
now
and
we
are
lowering
to
5%
or
we
adding
5%
we're
lowering
correct
for
one
year
and
then
we're
gonna
add
on
2.9
and
inflationary
is
usually
about
3%
anyway,
so
we're
right
there,
so
I
would
support
this
plan
and
I
also
support
the
suggestions
for
stat,
adding
staff
and
whatnot,
because
we
do
need
feet
on
the
ground
and
I
know
we
need
help
out.
There.
I
think
this
is
a
good
plan
and
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
this
is
already
looked
at
by
the
budget.
H
E
You
Paul
you
definitely,
as
we
talked
about
in
the
proclamation
you
helped
Tarpon
be
a
leader
in
water
and
I,
appreciate
that
and
water
independence
for
us
in
the
county
is
a
very
big
deal,
and
you
are
a
big
part
of
that.
Thank
you.
I'm
ever
seeing
these
numbers
a
few
years
ago,
had
it
been
three
or
four
years
ago
and
I'm
not
now.
Now
that
were
coming
closer
to
to
2020,
no
I,
definitely
be
more
in
favor
of
you
know.
E
E
Bye-Bye-Bye
ordinances
go
to
zero
well,
as
I
think
Tarpons
been
very,
very
prudent.
Well,
we
don't
always
have
the
lowest
millage
rate
where
we
we
are
a
full-service,
City
and
I
do
think.
Residents
will
complain
far
less
about
looking
they're
gonna
be
paying
less
first
off
with
this
proposed
plan,
so
will
complain
less
about
paying
a
few
dollars
for
something,
as
opposed
to.
We
don't
charge
anything
and
then
running
running
in
the
deep'
all
in
five
years
and
have
no
reserves
left
so
I
appreciate
this
analysis.
E
B
J
I
also
agree
with
my
colleagues
vice-mayor
bantering
and
Sue
Slattery.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
first
of
all,
and
and
for
your
forward-thinking
and
proactive
thinking,
always
because
you
always
put
us
in
a
position
where
we
we
are
ahead
instead
of
trying
to
catch
up
so
I
appreciate
that
and
I
do
support
the
plan
as
well.
Thank.
O
You
thanks
Mary
I've
got
a
couple
questions
mr.
Smith,
thank
you
for
your
time
and
presenting
us
to
us
always
appreciate
the
time
that
you've
give
me
and
our
conversations
when
you
talk
about
the
history
of
our
water
department
and
we're
going
and
where
we're
heading
it's
good
not
to
be
in
news
for
the
bad
things,
but
then
also
getting
the
awards
that
you've
worked
really
hard
for.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work
with
that
said,
I'm
gonna
need
to
sit
with
you
some
more
to
understand
these
added
positions.
O
Adding
six
positions
currently
to
our
budget.
I
can't
wrap
my
head
around
that
yet,
but
I
look
forward
to
learning
more
about
it.
I
do
have
a
question,
though,
about
the
other
areas.
Debt
ratios
because
I,
what
I'm
looking
at
is
the
best
practices
at
2%,
we're
at
three
point:
five,
six
right
now
and
then
the
proposed
we're
gonna
stay
at
three
point:
nine,
and
then,
if
we
did
nothing,
we
would
drop
down
to
one
point
two
by
2028
and
I
wanted
to
kind
of
piggyback
off
of
what
the
mayor
was
talking
about.
O
Is
there
an
in-between
that
we
could
look
at
removing
in
the
inflationary
rate
somewhere
if
it's
2023
in
2026
or
something
along
those
lines
to
where
we
still
fall
in
line
with
the
best
practices
that
was
presented
to
us
tonight?
But
then
we're
also
not
cutting
ourselves
short
with
capital
improvements
that
we
need
to
be
making
on
our
aging
infrastructure
as
well.
Very.
K
F
O
K
The
minimum
one-point-one
I
could
say:
I
I
really
get
a
little
queasy.
If
you
started
even
to
get
down
to
the
2.0
I'd
rather
keep
up
as
high
as
possible
for
emergency
situations.
I
mean
you
don't
want
to
become
too
close
and
you're
in
technical
default
with
the
bonds,
because,
if
you
do
that,
then
it
gets
that
notify
to
all
the
bondholders
and
affects
your
credit
rating.
K
O
K
So,
as
you
see
in
the
graph
on
the
last
year,
we're
getting
close
to
the
minimum
fund
balance
in
the
last
year's
of
that
graph
there
so
you're
trying
to
combine
you
know:
minimum
fund
balance
and
the
bond
covenants
when
trying
to
work
with
the
with
the
revenue
rate
study
you
know
trying
to
throw
in
you
know
all
the
CIP
you
need.
You
know.
If
we
were
trying
to
adjust
it,
we
did.
It
have
to
cut
back
on
some
of
the
CIP
to
be
able
to
try
to
get
down
and
reduce
some
of
that.
O
L
So
if
I'm,
a
the
the
plan
was
designed
so
as
to
not
project
the
need
for
any
future
borrowing,
and
so
in
order
to
do
that
in
order
of
cash
fund,
all
of
the
capital
rates
have
to
be
at
a
certain
point,
to
generate
that
level
of
revenue,
and
so
in
order
to
avoid
borrowing
we're
actually
coming
out
with
the
coverage
that
keeps
us
between
the
three
point.
Five
and
the
4.0
and
I
will
say
that
2.0
is
kind
of
best
practices
minimum
but
I
also
say
that
I
know.
L
The
rating
agencies
will
also
look
at
you
know,
behavior
from
year
to
year
and
that
coverage.
So,
if
you're,
showing
a
five
year
plan,
let's
say
and
you
go
from
three
and
a
half
to
2.0,
even
though
you're
at
2.0,
you're,
probably
still
gonna,
have
to
answer
questions
relative
to.
Why?
Why
exactly
are
you
generating
less
revenue
relative
to
the
amount
of
debt
requirement
that
you
have,
and
so
it's
trying
to
balance
all
those
things?
N
Again,
we
got
a
lot
of
time.
You
know
to
get
with
any
on
the
board
to
go
over
these
a
little
further
before
obviously,
the
two
readings
we
wants
in
May,
so
there's
plenty
of
time
to
get
together
a
brand
consultant
or
talk
with
them
and
get
you
all
the
information
anything
else
you
need
on
that.
Thank.
O
B
A
A
Month
today,
right
here,
relax
five
one
for
Ashland
Avenue.
A
couple
questions
I
would
ask
with
regards
to
when
I
look
at
these
graphs
with
the
do-nothing,
it
shows
some
debt
service
beginning
in
twenty
four
and
I
know.
The
projected
plans
were
such
that
on
the
new
proposed
rate
structure,
there
would
be
no
debt
service
at
that
point,
so
yeah,
basically
I,
guess
a
couple
questions
to
look
at
is
when
do
the
current
bonds
that
we
have
outstanding
expire
such
that
there
would
be
no
further
debt
service
requirements
needed?
A
That
would
be
I,
think
something
that
would
meet
be
looked
at
and
secondly,
even
in
the
best
projections
as
possible,
you
don't
show
any
long-term
borrowing,
but
if
there
was
need
for
a
long-term
borrowing
somewhere
down
the
line,
where
would
that
borrowing
come
from?
Would
that
be
the
need
for
the
issuance
of
new
bonds?
A
O
A
A
Secondly,
some
will
be
aware.
These
are
projections
and
I
think
the
last
time
we
did
this
when
mr.
Burton
was
here
and
I
know
was
on
the
board,
which
was
back
in
oh
nine,
which
would
have
been
fiscal
year
ten.
They
were
those
ten
percent
nine
percent
and
we
have
gotten
a
dam
where
we
can
control
our
rates.
So
what
I
would
say
to
Commissioner
Khare
and
the
others
on
the
board
is
you're
doing
your
best
at
this
point
to
somewhat
project
the
future.
A
So
at
this
point,
you're
just
really
looking
at
a
preliminary
thing,
there's
no
way
you
can
tell
2028
what
the
inflation
rates
going
to
be
and
if
a
lot
of
the
tariffs
and
other
trade
war
things
start
going
through
and
you
need
certain
specific
equipment
you
may
find
yourself
out
of
that
2.9
percent
rate,
so
I
would
wholeheartedly
accept
this,
but
still
would
like
to
get
a
little
further
questions
answered
with
regards
to
those
future
needs.
Thank
you.

Right
now
we're
finally
bringing
it
back
cuz
we
used
to
do
it
in
conjunction
with
the

and

Club.
This
is
a
fundraiser
and
it's
with
a
new.
It's
a

I
forget
the
name,
but
they
used
to
be
with
with
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
they've
kind
of
branched
off,
and
so
all
the
proceeds
go
to
this
501c3,
which
helps
children
in
the
community
pay
for
equipment
for
different
sports
they
play
and
and
different
activities
that
they
do
so
again.
J
H
A
Here:
relax
five
one
for
Ashland
Avenue
again,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
the
board.
I
would
like
to
bring
your
attention
to
items
12,
13
and
15.
At
this
time,
single
source
purchase
of
scale
inhibitor,
which
is
for
the
reverse,
Wilder
osmosis
plant.
Thirteen
is
a
cow
flow
lime
with
chemicals,
for
the
reverse,
osmosis
plant
and
15
is
the
purchase
of
corrosion
inhibitor.
A
All
of
these
three
are
items
that
include
chemicals
that
would
be
putting
in
to
our
water
and
I
would
just
want
to
know
if
the
board
has
had
any
discussion
with
our
water
department,
or
has
there
been
any
publications
or
information
put
out
to
the
general
public
with
regards
to
the
safety
and
F
is
not
only
these
chemicals
individually,
but
in
combination
with
each
other.
So
those
would
be
my
concerns
or
questions
on
those
items.
A
N
Alright,
but
the
contract
that
we
have
when
we
did
it
rid
of
the
contract,
as
you
see
in
there,
it
was
for
up
to
twenty
thousand
dollars,
we've
already
spent
just
over
ten
thousand
of
it,
so
to
even
go
and
utilize
them,
whichever
pot
of
money
it
goes
out
of,
you
need
to
increase
the
contract,
which
is
what
we're
doing
now.
So,
if
you
prove
the
item,
otherwise
we
have
to
come
back
and
do
the
opposite.
So
all
this
does
is
again.
N
You
know
we
gave
an
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
because
we
didn't
anticipate
so
we
spent
over
ten,
so
we're
increasing
that
amount,
whether
you
do
it
or
turn
it
down
later
on.
We've
still
got
an
increase.
The
amount
to
be
used,
of
course,
only
if
there's
demolitions
a
demolition,
the
money
for
it
is
going
to
come
out
of
the
CRA
as
you'll,
see
in
the
CRA
gen,
and
that's
what
you'll
prove
in
the
CR
agenda,
the
money
to
pay
for
it
with
that
in
the
budget
thing.
N
F
Evening,
Paul
Smith
Public,
Services
Director.
This
is
a
recommended
specialty
contract
for
hydrant
services
and
it's
something
we're
doing
in
partnership
with
the
fire
department.
They
concur
with
this
recommendation.
It
involves
a
very
detailed
analysis
and
testing
of
each
each
of
the
hydrants
and,
based
on
the
results
of
this
testing,
we're
able
to
put
the
appropriate
paint
colors
on
the
hydrant,
so
their
interest
instantly
recognizable
by
their
capacity,
but
also
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
have
a
prioritized
work
plan.
The
contract
also
provides
for
repair
services,
which
does
include
the
parts.
F
So
it
gives
us
options
here,
depending
on
what
we
find
in
this
detailed
analysis,
to
move
forward
in
a
rapid
manner
to
address
any
issues
that
we
may
find.
So
for
those
reasons
we
recommend
moving
forward
with
this
I'd
like
to
say
I
understand,
there
was
some
question
about
whether
staff
could
do
this
themselves
in-house.
F
This
would
involve
additional
resources
and,
in
the
essence
of
time,
I
recommend
moving
forward
with
this
assessment
on
contract,
with
our
long-term
plan
of
being
getting
that
staffing
on
board
that
we
talked
about
getting
the
appropriate
training
in
place
and
in
moving
that
in
with
the
regular
world.
So
that's
my
recommendation
to
you.
Thank.
F
Historically,
this
has
been
shared
between
the
fire
department
and
the
city's
water
distribution
staff
and
I
can
say
that
I
think
we
would
benefit
from
a
focused
effort
from
this
contract
to
do
them
all
at
once,
rather
than
sort
of
a
side.
Job
I
think
this
deserves
our
focus
right
now.
So
it's
a
little
bit
different
of
an
approach.
Brickley.
N
Many
hydrants
in
the
city
and
a
safety
to
go
around
and
miss
one.
It's
just
from
the
fire
aspect
from
my
aspect
to
the
safety.
We
need
to
do
a
sweep
of
one
time
to
make
sure
if
there's
any
problems,
we
find
them,
because
we
don't
want
to
find
them.
If
there's
a
fire,
that's
not
the
time.
We
want
to
find
the
issue
so,
ultimately,
when
it
came
to
the
decision
to
do
this,
and
do
it
in
this
way,
where
they
convinced
me
right
away,
was
on
the
safety
aspect
for
all
of
our
citizens.
Mr.
F
And
you'll
see
in
the
CIP
we,
this
is
a
long-term
plan
for
us,
but
initially
we
want
to
use
the
contract
services
and
where
it
makes
sense,
we'll
start
bringing
our
own
staff
in
to
do
this
work,
as
you
may
know,
we're
already
doing
that
with
our
meter
replacement
program
right,
but
we've
been
working
on
that
for
years
and
years.
This
has
a
higher
level
of
urgency,
as
a
city
manager
said
with
safety
that
we're
recommending
this
approach.
My.
F
B
F
M
R
So
we
test
all
the
private
hydrants,
all
the
public
hydrants.
We
even
test
some
of
the
county
hydrants
as
well,
so
we
just
don't
do
any
of
the
repairs,
so
the
private
hydrant
has
a
repair
or
run.
Then
we
would
bring
that
to
that
private
community
and
they
would
have
the
cost
for
repair,
but
the
fire
department
does
have
to
go
out
and
spin
and
test
those
hydrants
for
ISO
purposes,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
this
will
help
with
too
is
help
us
maintain
or
increase
our
ISO
rate.
You
want
to
make.
H
You
I
have
spoken
with
former
chief
butcher
about
this
quite
a
few
years
ago,
and
we
went
back
and
forth
on
it
because
I
know
there's
some
cities
that
had
a
crew
that
went
out
to
test
the
hydrants
and
our
city
was
utilizing
our
fire
department
and
I'm
like
well.
How
are
they
you
know?
How
can
they
do
this
they're
supposed
to
be
inspected?
H
I
think
once
a
year,
every
every
fire
hydrant,
if
not
more
I'm,
not
sure
but
I
lose
it
twice
a
year,
and
so
I'm
that's
hard
to
do
and
then
they
get
up,
they
get
a
call
and
they
have
to
leave.
And
if
these
hydrogens
aren't
working,
they
have
to
be
tagged
and
bagged
and
whatever
there's
this
a
process
to
it
and
I
know
that
it's
tough
for
our
fire
department
to
do.
H
Even
if
it
is
in
a
private,
gated
community
or
something
that
is
our
responsibility,
so
this
you
know,
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea
for
now,
and
hopefully
we
can
go
back
to
our
own
staff,
doing
this
service
for
us,
but
but
again,
I
know
that
our
fire
department
was
really
stretched
when
they
were
doing
these
and
I,
don't
think
they
were
keeping
up
and
it
is
important
for
our
ISO
ratings
as
well,
so
I
would
support
this.
Thank
you.
Thank.
O
You
Mary,
if
I
remember
correctly,
I
believe
there
was
a
painter
that
went
around
about
six
years
ago
and
painted
all
the
fire
hydrants
in
the
city.
I
think
there's
an
older
Greek
man
in
town
that
had
the
contract,
because
I
would
see
him
with
his
truck
and
pull
up
to
all
the
fire.
Hydrants
and
you'd
be
out
there
painting
them.
How
often
do
these
and
may
be
painted
and
updated,
or
what's
the
record?
Do
you
know
what
the
recommendation
is
or
I.
F
Don't
know,
there's
an
exact
number
of
years
that
will
depend
on
how
well
the
hydrant
is
prepared
and
what
quality
of
paint
is
used.
Just
like
you
would
with
your
house,
if
you
give
it
a
good
wire
brush
preparation,
address
the
corrosion
and
paint
it
with
a
high
quality
paint,
which
is
what
we're
proposing
in
this
contract.
I
think
you
could
get
a
decade
out
of
it
reasonably
so
that's
the
plan
is
to
assess
all
these
do
the
proper
preparation
and
painting
and
really
get
into
a
maintenance
mode
where
it's
much
more
manageable.
O
This
is
obviously
a
very
important
situation.
My
house
was
burning
down
and
my
fire
hydrant
didn't
work,
I'd
be
pretty
upset
by
it.
Is
this
one
the
areas
that
these
other
positions
that
are
being
added
on
proposed
in
the
water
department?
It's
an
area
that
someone
could
come
in
so
I,
remember
as
a
growing
up
in
Tarpon,
Springs
I
would
see
someone
in
the
water
truck
come
up
and
then
release
the
valve
and
come
back
15
minutes
later
and
turn
it
off
or
so.
Is
that
something
that
would
fall
under
preview
or
it.
F
Certainly
would
I
mean
these
are
the
kinds
of
tasks,
but
just
like
the
fire
department
who
has
their
other
responsibilities.
Our
water
distribution
folks
have
a
lot
of
breaks,
a
lot
of
service
connections
and
all
these
other
things
that
they're
working
on
so
this
when
it's
busy
it's
hard
to
find
that
time
to
do
this.
So
this
is
a
way
to
get
a
real
good
jump
start
on
this,
get
it
going
get
the
staffing
in
place
and
get
it
back
to
a
manageable
level.
O
I
just
have
another
question
when
they're
up
so
when
they're
inspecting
it
I'm
obsolete
out
of
service
right,
there's
an
estimate
of
like
45%
of
the
hydrants
going
to
need
the
upper
barrel
and
30%
so
going
to
the
lower
barrel.
Is
that
just
industry
norm
based
on
age?
Or
how
do
we
come
up
with
that?
Yeah.
F
O
F
C
N
Is
one
of
my
favorite
type
of
items
because
it's
not
gonna
cost
the
city
any
money,
so
I
love
for
saying
these
two
colleagues
always
present
you
items,
it's
gonna
cost
money.
This
one
hasn't
this
all
started.
You
see
in
the
backup
there's
a
letter
from
mr.
Terry
70
knows
of
clos
water
to
the
mayor.
This
is
how
this
all
started
about
him
wanting
to
do
and
donate
a
statue
to
the
city
of
Turpan,
Springs
I
know
the
mayor
had
several
conversations
with
him
in
talking
with
me.
N
I
just
so
happened
to
have
a
spot
on
the
Sponge
Docks,
which
is
by
the
marina.
You
know
when
you're
looking
for
places
for
statues
of
that
sort.
The
problem
you
have
is
you
have
very
little
steel
and
in
some
places
to
put
it,
but
we
do
have
that
little
island
by
the
marina
I'd,
always
envisioned
some
type
of
public
art
or
something
going
into
that
Island.
So
mister,
seventy
no
actually
came
up
and
looked
at
the
spots
and
and
liked
that
particular
spot.
And
what
we're
coming
to
you
tonight
for
is.
N
He
wants
the
there
is
an
an
artist,
a
sculptor
in
Greece
that
he
wants
to
have
do
the
actual
Poseidon
himself,
which
is
a
mr.
Cruz's
I,
do
know
from
googling
and
it
all
being
in
Greek,
but
the
part
in
English
was
he
did
do
some
work
for
the
for
the
Olympics
I'm,
some
sculpturing
for
the
Olympics
in
China,
the
rest
of
us
in
Greek,
but
he's
like
he's
a
renowned
art.
So
he
wants
to
go
over.
N
He
wants
to
contract
because
the
actual
statue
of
the
person
Poseidon
I'm,
just
gonna,
take
about
five
or
six
months
to
do
so.
He
wants
to
get
that
going
after
that's
done
and
shipped
I'll
be
bringing
it
back
to
the
Commission,
because
then
we'll
talk
about
the
base
and
the
actual
form.
If
you
see
in
the
back
of
the
picture
in
the
exact
spot
on
drawing
that's
what
that's
pretty
much,
what
its
gonna
look
like,
but
again,
it'll
come
back
in
the
base.
N
What
we
just
want
to
give
him
that
you
approve
this
consensus,
it
was
brought
to
the
public
art
committee.
We
have
representatives
in
the
public
art
committee
out
here
and
again.
Let
me
emphasize
that
this
is
all
at
the
cost
of
mr.
Sorrentino,
including
getting
the
siding
built
and
then,
when
he
comes
here,
to
get
the
base
and
the
rest
of
it
built
and
put
up
and
donated
to
us
the
other
nuance
of
that.
As
you
know,
Poseidon
and
mythology
is
related
to
the
Knights,
which
you
just
approved
to
go
into
the
roundabout.
N
So
there's
a
relation
and
mythology
to
him,
so
you
have
presiding
at
the
head
of
the
docks
and
is
seen
them's
daughters
or
someone
will
be
at
the
end
and
around
about
so
there's
a
connection
of
the
public
art
in
in
this
and
stuff.
So
so,
if
you
give
the
consensus
tonight,
he
is
gonna
actually
get
a
contract
with
the
sculptor
to
do
actual
Poseidon
person,
statue
and
then
again
later
on.
We
come
back
and
we
pick
who's.
N
G
Am
I
sure
you're
from
109
colony,
south,
but
also
the
public
art
committee?
Yes,
mr.
Sefton
knows,
came
and
presented
this
project
to
the
public
art
committee.
We
were
very
excited
about
this
one,
the
design
of
the
Sidon,
where
it
fits
in
our
culture
and
the
fact
that
it
does
match
the
NYIT's
at
the
other
end.
So
we
did
approve
this
in
our
committee
meeting
and
the
fact
that
it
is
not
going
to
cost
anything
for
our
committee
and
for
the
city
is
also
very
exciting.
So
I
hope
that
you
will
approve
this
any
questions.
N
We'll
have
the
day
so
he
fits
between
those
two
trees.
If
you
see
those
two
trees
down,
there
was
a
little
trimming
he's
gonna
fit
between
the
tree,
but
the
statute.
The
person
himself
is
8
feet
and
then
it'll
go
to
the
base,
which
again
will
bring
that
design
and
have
the
total
height
when
they
do
the
base
part.
H
H
J
B
Know
that
when
we
visiting
calibers
we'll
be
able
to
see
some
of
the
work
that
he
already
has
done,
he
just
returned
from
Australia.
He
delivers
some
statute
there
in
Sydney
as
well
as
Norway.
So
these
are
very
very
famous
artists
in
the
location.
I
think
it's
perfect
right
there
on
now
between
the
two
trees,
and
you
can
see
that
you
will
be
able
to
see
the
statue
as
you
turning
in
from
North
Pinellas,
and
it's
not
be
the
first
thing
that
look
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be.
B
O
O
B
N
Is
a
very
humble
individual
I
mean
I
hope
he's
not
in
town
now
to
be
here
in
stuff,
but
he's
a
very
humble
individual
that
doesn't
want
much
recognize
just
he
wants
to
do
this
for
the
community
and
and
so
I
found
him
extremely
humble
and
the
only
not
one,
the
most
low-key
person
is
going
to
give
something
of
tremendous
value
and
cost
to
us
and
stuff.
But
usually
people
want
something
or
some
rabbit.
You.
Q
Q
P
2018
2:05
an
ordinance
of
the
Board
of
Commissioners
of
the
city
of
Tarpon,
Springs
Florida,
naming
a
wing
at
the
Heritage
Museum
building
located
at
100
Beekman
Lane
in
honor
of
George
Michael
Blair.
It's
provided
for
modification
that
may
arise
a
public
hearing
and
providing
for
an
effective
date.
Second
reading
of
wardens
2018
to
0-5
by
title
only
was
published
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Times
by
tunneling
in
March
to
2018.
B
Well,
I
have
some
comments
to
make
the
last
meeting
we
had.
There
were
many
people
here
from
the
family
of
mr.
Belarus
and
some
of
his
friends.
They
said
a
lot
of
good
things
about
him
and
I
agree
with
all
this
all
these
things
that
they
said
about
him.
He
was
a
great
person.
He
was
a
very
good
contributor
to
the
sponge
industry.
He
created
made
many
videos
many
commercials
to
promote
his
business
as
well
as
a
seed
of
time
for
Sprint,
but
mr.
B
Bellairs,
you
should
be
equally
honor
as
any
other
splinter
that
we
had
contributing
to
the
sponge
industry.
He
interprets
print
I
like
to
remind
to
everyone
that
not
to
forget
the
history
of
Tarpon
Springs
and
not
to
ignore
the
wishes
of
the
people
of
terrible
Springs.
The
history
of
Tarpon
Springs
telling
us
that
of
the
founders
and
the
pioneers
of
the
sponge
industry
is
mr.
John
Chaney.
He
started
the
sponge
industry
and
mr.
B
B
B
Thank
you
for
correcting
me,
I,
remember
five
when
I
was
growing
up,
but
also
the
the
boat
that
we
have
the
tarpor
spring
sponge
board
that
we
have
it
used.
We
call
Eleni
that
was
mr.
Samar
kosis
boat.
So
again,
that's
the
people's
wishes
and
are
they
any
public
comment?
I
mean
in
the
Commission
comments
on
that
I've.
O
N
O
This
isn't
really
the
time
to
discuss
this,
but
I
feel
that
we've
got
the
historic
train
depot
as
a
museum.
We've
got
the
Heritage
Museum
and
Craig
park,
and
we
also
have
the
Old
City
Hall
I,
don't
know
what
we
called
it
right
now:
the
cultural
center
on
Pinellas,
Avenue
and
we've
got
three
areas
where
we
focus
in
on
some
museum
type
aspects.
D
O
Separate
it,
and
then
we
have
a.
We
have
limited
resources
with
volunteers.
I
could
open
these
up
during
certain
times
of
the
day,
so
it
might
be
could
be
a
good
idea
to
have
a
further
discussion
about
maybe
relocating
some
of
these
items
and
really
having
a
focused
plan
on
museums
with
in
Tarpon.
And
how
do
we
utilize
these
city
properties
and
maybe
how
we
could
look
at
some
other
revenue
opportunities
for
these
properties
as
well
for
events,
for
we
could
target
that
down
the
road.
But
we.
N
Could
we
are
gonna
start
looking
at
that
when
we,
you
know
when
we
get
it
ironed
out
about
how
we're
gonna
do
the
Cultural
Center
and
after
we
do
that
we're
gonna?
You
know,
commissioner,
bath
request
awhile
ago
we're
gonna
look
at
what
we
do
in
that
building
and
at
that
time
I
think
that's
what
we
need
to
have
the
comprehensive,
what
we're
doing
there,
what
we're
doing
heritage
and
all
that,
and
that
would
be
a
good
time.
N
O
They're
our
last
conversation,
I
mentioned
the
fact
that
there
is
a
wing
to
honor
the
sponge
industry
and
the
spongers
I
think
that's
an
important
part
of
this
wing.
If
there's
an
individual's
name
before
that
it
doesn't
I,
don't
think
it
really
takes
away
from
the
whole
sponge
industry.
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
passionate
people
that
are
live
within
our
town.
They've
got
a
lot
of
family
pride
and
it's
really.
We
need
to
find
the
opportunity
to
honor
as
many
of
these
families
as
we
can
through
different
ways
that
we
can
and
I
know.
O
We
also
had
conversations
about
a
was
it
Art
Walk,
where
we
look
at
some
type
of
history
of
art,
walk
between
the
Sponge
Docks
if
it's
Sponge,
Docks
Kraig
Park,
if
it's
going
on
Safford,
if
it's
going
through
three
town
or
whoever
it
may
be
again,
that
would
be
another
nice
project
to
see
coming
forward.
To
put
intentional
efforts
into
to
really
show
the
show
the
history,
that's
the
honor,
that's
due
to
the
history
from
all
that
came
before
us
in
Tarpon
Springs,
but
right
now,
I'm,
okay,
with
believing
George
Blair's.
E
E
There
wasn't
really
a
central
place,
there's
small
places
on
the
docks
or
in
Oriya
or
private
places
here
in
there,
but
this
will
create
a
central
place
to
honor
all
these
individuals
and
eat
the
memory
and
hopefully
assist
in
keeping
the
industry
alive
by
having
a
a
single
focal
point
of
honoring
the
industry,
and
it
is
you
know
this
is
outside
the
purview
of
this
ordinance.
I'm
assuming
the
removal
will
be
such
still
be
used
for
public
events.
E
You
know
more
so
around
the
walls
and
you
know
maybe
a
maybe
opportunity
to
somewhat
thereof,
but
it
wouldn't
be
room.
We
would
lose
for
events
like
you,
citizens,
Academy,
so
I
think
just
further
better
battery
of
better
utilize,
an
underutilized
city
building
that
I
had
fun
growing
up
and
as
as
the
library
I
still
wish,
it
was
the
library,
but
that's
not
your.
O
E
Q
B
B
I
Thank
You
mayor
I
think
it's
important
that
I
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
the
recent
law
that
was
passed
by
the
governor
signed
into
law
regarding
our
our
schools
and
SRO.
So
on
March
9th
2018,
our
governor
signed
into
law,
the
Marjory
Stoneman
Douglas
High
School
Public
Safety
Act,
also
known
as
seven
Senate
bill
702
six.
I
We've
been
meeting
the
sheriff
and
the
police
chiefs.
We
met
with
the
superintendent
of
the
Pinellas
County
school
board,
dr.
Greg
OH.
We
do
not
agree
that
the
first
line
of
defense
should
be
armed
school
personnel
that
we
do
not
agree
with.
There
is
a
funding
gap.
The
state
did
allocate
some
funds,
but
those
funds
are
not
enough
to
cover
what
we
need
to
do.
Countywide
I
will
say
that
we
are
ahead
of
the
game
and
we've
always
been
ahead
of
the
game,
because
we
have
an
elementary
school
SRO
that
rotates
between
all
three
campuses.
I
So
currently
we
have
one
assigned
to
all
three
were
monitoring
the
other
two
with
patrol,
so
we're
keeping
a
really
stringent
check
on
all
these
elementary
schools,
but
this
law
was
passed
in
a
rapid
fashion,
and
now
we
are
all
you
know
pretty
much
scrambling
to
get
on
board
with
this
and
get
this
covered.
So
I
know
that
our
city
manager
will
be
addressing
this
next
month
with
you,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
to
get
on
the
record
that
we
are
ahead
of
the
game.
I
B
B
N
Just
to
finish
up
on
that
a
little
bit
obvious,
you
know
for
my
background
that
there's
something
real
close
to
me.
In
fact,
I
remember
10,
11
years
ago,
when
I
talked
about
the
rotating
elementary
school
officer,
I
got
the
looks.
I
got
the
things.
Well,
you
know
you're
gonna
have
to
pay
for
it
yourself,
I
got
the
arguments
about.
N
Obviously,
we
can't
take
care
of
the
county
and
we
can't
take
care
of
what's
going
the
state,
but
I
will
have
to
you
when
you
return
the
first
meeting
a
plan
where
we
can
make
sure
on
the
tarping
kids
so
that
we'll
be
ready
for
you.
We've
got
this
time
month
to
get
it
together,
we've
already
head
of
working
as
what
kind
of
anticipate
this
coming
so
we'll
have
something
that
first
meeting,
because
you'll
see
why
it's
very
important
to
make
a
decision.
E
E
A
we'd
hire
two
for
the
other
I
think
its
literal
insanity
not
to
have
arms
our
armed
security
of
high
schools
and
when,
when
when,
when
my
office
has
more
security
than
elementary
school,
that's
a
big
problem,
and
we
saw
it
work
today
in
in
Maryland
when
there
was
I.
Don't
was
a
school
shooter,
but
it
was
a
domestic
I
think
where
the
guy
shot
somebody
and
yes
or
other,
stop,
and
that's
when
that
and
that's
where
I
think,
no
matter
where
you
are
on
the
gun,
control
debate.
E
That
is
a
mid,
a
middle
ground
where
we
can
do
practical,
common-sense
things
to
help
keep
our
kids
safe
and
I'm
very
thankful
that
you
two
have
been
ahead
of
the
game
on
that.
Regardless
of
what
of
what
Tallahassee
said.
So
thank
you.
I
want
to
say
I
heard
my
daughter
did
great
in
her
school
musical
tonight.
I
missed
it
as
I
was
here.
I
went
to
it
last
year.
Definitely
a
labor
of
love
to
sit
through
some
of
that.
But
I
got
the
text
from
my
wife's
Olivia.
E
H
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
just
say
that
I
would
support
whatever
Chiefs
recommendation
is
with
the
gun,
control,
with
guns
being
in
school
or
police
officers
being
a
school
I
support
that
I
have
nieces
and
nephews
ones
in
Middle
School
in
high
school,
that
you
know
they
talked
to
me
and
they
were
afraid
to
go
to
school
there.
You
know
they'll
call
me
Friday
morning
this
happened.
H
What
should
I
do
you
know
and
it's
sad
it's
really
sad-
that
these
children
were
afraid
to
go
to
school,
so
I
do
not
support,
arming
our
teachers,
like
that.
That's
something
I,
don't
think
I
could
support
it's
not
their
responsibility,
but
hopefully
we
can
get
some
help
from
the
state
and
pay
for
some
some
officers
to
be
at
our
school
and
to
protect
our
children.
Again.
It's
just
sad
that
it's
come
to
this,
but
what
whatever
you
recommend
chief
I
will
support.
You.
B
J
Of
course,
I
also
would
back
you
up
with
with
that
and
I
was
very
excited
to
hear
that
we
received
the
funding
from
Chris
brows.
We
didn't
receive
it
last
year
and
I
felt
that
we
needed
to
reapply
because
there
was.
Why
would
it
hurt
so
I'm
glad
that
we
did
and
thank
you
vice
mayor
for
starting
the
whole
ball
rolling,
but
at
least
we're
going
to
a
step
further
and
and
we'll
have
the
money
for
the
spoil
side
and
then
we'll
see
where
we
go
from
there.
B
B
Also,
I
am
very
glad
that
the
governor
Scott
signed
the
state
budget,
which
includes
six
hundred
and
seventy-six
thousand
dollars
for
the
include
River,
dredging
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
state
representative,
Chris
Bros,
congressman
Gus
Bilirakis
for
their
supporting
continued
lobby
for
the
city
of
Tartu,
sprint
and
I
also
like
to
thank
Governor
Scott
for
taking
my
calls
and
listening
to
import
the
importance
of
this
project.
I
think
it's
got
title
listen
to
me,
but
tomorrow
morning
I
will
be
leaving
traveling
to
Athens
visiting
our
sister
cities.
Colleen
knows
colic.
B
The
city
clerk,
Jacobs
and
Deborah
city
cleric
Medusa's
we're
going
to
be
having
joined
meetings
with
our
sister
cities
and
to
be
able
to
exchange
idea
in
regards
to
exchange
culture,
education
and
economic
development,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
that
and
well.
That
concludes
the
regular
session
meeting
and
it's
adjourn
at
8:21
p.m.
B
I
B
B
B
S
S
Our
CRA
was
created
in
2001,
and
just
so
you
know
it
there's
a
30-year
life
to
the
CRA
unless
the
county
or
the
state
would
expand
it.
So
our
sunset
year
is
2031
again.
The
goals
are
really
to
improve
the
central
business
district,
to
create
private
investment
and
to
reinvest
the
tax
dollars
that
are
created
within
the
CRA
back
into
the
CRA,
a
quick
look
at
the
new
businesses.
S
But
there's
a
listing
of
several
businesses
that
are
opening
in
the
downtown
area.
Orange
cycle,
creamier
I'll
just
point
that
out.
That's
our
first
freestanding
ice
cream
store.
We've
been
wanting
an
ice
cream
store
downtown
for
some
time.
This
is
a
hand,
packed
ice
cream
similar
to
Cold
Stone
Creamery.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
Anytime
Fitness
is
expanding,
they're
gonna
be
taking
over
the
old
family
dollar
building,
which
has
been
vacant
for
several
years.
S
We're
happy
about
that
and
then
later
this
year,
you'll
be
seeing
Silver
King
brewery
is
going
to
be
purchasing
our
old
fire
and
police
station.
So
they'll
be
coming
to
you
sometime
before
July
the
incentive
grants.
We
have
two
grants:
a
facade
grant
and
the
restaurant
grant
for
the
facade
grant.
We've
approved
62
grams
since
it
started
30
and
historic
buildings,
so
we're
serious
about
renovating
our
old
historic
buildings
and
the
restaurant
grant.
We've
had
12
grants
in
the
past
three
years.
S
S
This
is
a
list
of
the
12
brands
we've
approved
for
the
restaurant
recruitment
grants
since
2015
they
are
all
still
in
business.
Sweet
alles
bakery,
as
you
know,
is
been
replaced
by
cafe
pulley,
but
because
of
the
renovations
that
were
made
in
the
grant,
it
was
very
easy
to
find
the
replacement
business
for
that
site
and
then
the
economic
impact
I
think.
There's
no
question
that
these
grants
have
made
a
huge
impact
within
our
CRA.
S
We've
had
74
projects
in
the
past
six
years
we
have
expended
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
those
grants
and
that's
resulted
in
3.2
million
dollars
in
private
investment,
which
is
a
nearly
700
percent
return
on
our
dollars.
Seven
and
eleven
thousand
dollars
increase
in
property
values
on
those
buildings
were
that
received
grants
from
the
application
year
to
the
current
tax
year,
which
was
an
increase
of
7%
and
then
just
as
a
comparison,
the
overall
property
values
last
year,
the
CRA
rules
by
4%.
So
our
grant
projects
are
doing
very
well
infrastructure.
S
S
The
landscaping
project
on
South
Pinellas
was
finished
last
year
and
their
plans
in
place
now
to
do
the
northern
portion
from
Tarpon
to
Dodecanese
and
then
for
the
residential
we've
had
the
villages,
a
tarpon
that
was
a
partnership
of
the
housing
authority
and
Pinnacle
Housing
Group.
Two
of
the
four
housing
complexes
are
located
within
the
CRA
and
one
a
lemon
and
Safford
in
Pine,
Tree
Village
right
here,
the
anklet
river
crossings.
This
is
a
development
near
the
anklet
river
and
Safford
Avenue.
S
Ten
county
units
were
completed
in
the
past
year
and
that
development
is
now
at
its
completion
and
then
ring
in
Center
Street.
This
Missoula
is
the
Eco
village
project,
we're
anticipating
that
construction
will
be
beginning
this
year
on
that
project
still
remains
12
units
and
two
buildings
and
two
single-family
homes.
S
Casa
Azul
they've
been
renovating
that
building
that
was
yield,
vivere
and
lodge
they're
gonna
be
opening
up,
hopefully
by
summer,
with
ten
rooms
as
a
B&B
and
then
commercial
projects
we've
got
lemon
street
trade
side
of
this
is
on
the
corner
of
lemon
and
lovest.
An
8,000
square
foot
trade
warehouse
building
will
be
bringing
in
about
20
new
jobs,
a
new
employment
to
the
downtown
area
and
one
of
our
first
new
construction
buildings
within
the
CRA.
S
Now
this
is
Safford
Avenue
in
Center
Street.
This
is
the
old
Koko
lacus
office
building,
that's
currently
being
renovated
into
a
mixed-use.
We
have
office
retail,
and
then
we
have
a
craft
brewery,
that's
going
to
be
going
in
there
and
Jessie's
garden.
This
is
our
community
garden.
I.
Think
Commissioner
Seaver
had
brought
this
forward
to
us.
A
couple
years
ago
we
had
the
lease
agreement
finalized
in
March
of
last
year.
It
should
be
opening
in
the
next
several
months.
S
We've
got
the
water
lines
in
the
water
meter
in
that
we've
got
ten
plots
that
they've
got
in
already
the
sheds
been
ordered.
The
sign
is
in
so
hopefully
we'll
be
getting
that
going
this
year,
and
then
this
is
our
vacant
lot
on
Tarpon
Avenue
we've
got
an
RFP
out
that
is
due
April
17th
and
then
our
festivals
event.
S
Events
continue
to
be
successful
with
the
first
Friday,
it's
no
place
bringing
a
lot
of
people
into
our
downtown
and
then
some
future
and
ongoing
projects
that
we're
working
on
we've
got
an
application
for
Wawa
that
has
not
yet
been
scheduled
for
any
public
hearings.
We're
not
sure
when
that's
going
to
be
coming
forward,
I'm
spring
by
you,
as
you
know,
we're
looking
for
development
opportunities
for
the
former
Sun
Bay,
the
alternate
nineteen
corridor
study
we've
been
working
with
F
dot
and
the
county
for
almost
two
years.
S
Now,
on
that
and
we're
hoping
to
get
some
safety
efficiency
and
some
code,
amendment
sent
me
be
coming
forward
to
help
development
along
that
corridor,
make
it
look
nicer
and
be
able
to
use
some
of
the
amendments
that
we're
doing
to
bring
in
some
additional
businesses
along
that
way
and
then
manatee
Plaza
has
a
new
owner.
We've
been
working
with
them
on
a
shared
vision
for
mixed-use
on
that
property
and
you'll,
be
seeing
in
a
couple
months,
some
land
development
code,
amendments
that
will
increase
the
density
to
allow
for
more
residential
and
even
a
hotel.
S
E
E
Think
one
of
the
highlights
this
year
for
me
is
probably
buying
the
old
family
dollar,
whatever
it
was
called
and
I
that
that
era
desperately
needs,
say
I
hate
using
the
word
Renaissance,
but
I'm,
not
sure
of
a
better
word
and
hopefully
she's
the
catalyst
for
that
and
I
believe
she
will
be
and
then
we'll
have
some
or
more
higher
end
owners
of
the
surrounding
properties
and
that'll.
Just
lift
that
up
and
hopefully
one
nail.
E
We
can
extend
the
CRA
more
down
off
tarpon
Avenue
towards
us
19
as
I
know
as
our
as
our
as
our
buildings
age.
There
are
people
that
are
buying
up
different
buildings
there
and
doing
things
to
them.
So
I
think
that
would
help
in
the
entrance
to
the
downtown
area.
But
thanks
again
and
I
look
forward
to
see
what
this
this
year
brings.
J
You
do
and
all
the
progress
that
we've
made
I
appreciate
your
your
hard
work.
I'm
excited
that
a
new
bed
and
breakfast
is
coming
in
with
some
rooms
we
desperately
need
rooms
and
in
Tarpon,
Springs
and
places
for
people
to
stay
that
are,
you
know,
you
know
within
walking
community
of
the
docs
in
the
downtown.
So,
but
just
again,
thank
you.
O
B
I
B
B
N
I
assume,
as
soon
as
humanly
possible,
we
want
to
demolish
this
than
a
hotel.
We've
already
have
our
the
people
on
contractors.
Look
at
it.
The
good
news
is
we
had
estimated
up
to
40,000,
possibly
for
that.
With
this
person
we're
on
the
contract
we
piggyback
in
the
County
conference,
though
the
initial
port
was
sixteen
thousand
plus
there
may
be
some
asbestos,
so
we
think
it's
gonna
be
under
25,000.
N
N
He's
got
30
days
but
again
and
him
work
with
tom
function,
he's
hoping
to
get
out
within
ten
days
to
two
weeks
and
at
that
point,
he'd
sign
or
whatever.
We
need
to
execute
to
turn
the
building
over
to
us
and
then
we'd
be
able
to
do
it
and
I
say
we
assigned
Dainius
lee
the
construction
demolition
contractor
working
on
getting
everything
together.
Doing
the
house
best.
The
study
he's
doing
that
now,
so
we
could
be
ready
to
go
as
soon
as
ten
days
to
two
weeks.
N
A
We're
two
lakhs
five
one
for
Ashland
Avenue
I
brought
it
up
on
item
16
and
here
on
this
item.
It's
16
thousand
out
of
CRA.
Now
the
thing
that
I'm
going
to
put
forth
to
the
board
is
that
little.
You
know
you
go
to
the
Rays
game.
They
got
the
three
helmets
there
and
they
put
the
P
under
there
and
they
move
the
helmets
around
and
the
N
where's
the
pea
under
the
helmet,
which
helmet
well
my
concern
and
again
is
all
this
shuffling
the
money
back
and
forth.
A
When
we
looked
at
this
about
a
month
or
two
back
where
you
already
have
an
outstanding
month,
loan
you're
already
paying
out
to
the
penny
fund?
How
much
of
that
is
left
I
mean
that's,
that's
something
I'm
really
concerned
about
getting
lost
and
all
the
other
excitable
things
about.
What's
gonna
happen
to
this
property,
so
I
would
just
say
we
need
to
make
sure.
A
O
B
N
S
Thank
you.
I'm
you've
got
a
memo
and
and
some
backup
materials
in
your
packet.
But
essentially
you
know.
The
city
now
owns
a
sunbae
and
so
we're
looking
at
this
as
an
opportunity
to
move
forward
and
give
ourselves
the
best
tools
that
we
have
that
we
can
to
create
a
good
development
in
that
area.
And
to
that
end,
we
would
like
to
lease
that
property,
the
vacant
land
with
the
building
on
it
to
maintain
the
vacant
land
in
a
nice
way
and
then
to
utilize.
S
We
can
walk
the
downtown,
walk
the
area
and
show
them
what
we're
looking
at
and
and
what
the
area
has
to
offer.
So
I've
got
a
lot
more
examples
of
how
we
could
use
the
property
again
with
the
police
department
we're
looking
at.
They
could
use
it
day
and
night
for
whatever
needs
that
they
may
have,
and
again
it
gives
us
more
control
over
that
area
as
we're
looking
to
to
redevelop
it.
The
lease
is
there
in
a
summary
of
it,
along
with
a
description
of
the
property
and
so
we're.
N
Came
the
long
time
it
was
a
long
process
and
we
did
make
a
final
decision
and
purchase
the
Sun
Bay,
but
obviously
after
demolition.
What
are
we
gonna
do?
Is
you
know
my
my
take
from
the
vote
and,
of
course,
I
represent
all
commissioners
though
I
do
all
sides,
but
my
take
with
the
vote
is
the
key
is
to
revitalizing
the
CRA
and
revitalize
what
many
you
think
is
a
neglected
area
of
the
CRA,
the
West
Harbin
Avenue
area.
N
So
the
vision
is
this:
when
that
building
comes
on.
First
of
all,
the
vision
is
to
make
it
an
oasis
from
what
it
is
and
even
lose
the
utilizing
the
property
next
to
it.
In
that
thing,
when
we
tear
it
on
the
building,
we
got
a
hole
in
the
ground
so
having
the
ability
to
lease
and
work
with
that
owner
and
have
that
thing.
N
We
got
three
money:
some
temporary
parking
error,
which
is
nice,
natural,
environmentally,
no,
paving
and
stuff
just
make
a
beautiful
area
for
that,
and
while
we
wait
obviously
you
know
we
know,
we
took
the
vote
that
with
the
money
that
we
spent
the
idea
is
we
have
to
do
that
redevelopment
and
catalyst.
Obviously,
one
of
the
biggest
thing
we
need
to
do
is
take
care
of
the
tarpon
in
and
hopefully
have
a
developer
come
in
and
and
finally
do
something
with
their
all
the
times
we
dealt
with
them.
N
You
know
that's
one
of
Karen's,
the
great
task
and,
of
course,
as
you
see
from
the
CRA
report,
Karen,
even
though
she
came
from
Packer
country
was
one
of
the
best
hires
that
I
did
a
city
manager
because
you
see
all
she's
done
in
CRA
with
the
CRA,
but
to
really
make
this
the
catalyst
we
got
to
have
these.
The
people
stopped
coming
in
and
shying
away,
because
we
need
to
do
something
not
only
with
that
property
that
we
bought
and
the
property
next
to
it.
N
N
We
can
plan
to
not
only
use
that
building,
but
that
little
property,
while
it's
been
doing
again,
the
goal
is
within
a
year
two
years
of
most
have
all
that
redeveloped
and
and
start
that,
but
in
the
time
there's
just
so
much
use
we
could
do
for
that.
So
the
first
house
we
had
is
where,
as
we
approve
the
property-
and
we
do
this,
it's
find
out
if
we
get
Ariz
the
beliefs
and
obviously
we
are
paying
the
low
price
that
that
building
was
being
rented.
Someone
was
looking
at
that
building
to
rent
it
again.
N
The
low
price
of
that
building
was
getting
four.
You
know
we
got
it
for
the
same
price
and
then
to
get
the
rest
of
the
land.
All
we
got
to
do
is
reimburse
the
equivalents
of
the
taxpayers
paid
on
that
land,
and
so
for
that
little
minimal
cost.
Of
of
that,
we
can
make
that
Aran
Oasis
utilize,
that
building
for
for
the
twelve
fourteen
things
listed,
I've
come
up
with
about
eight
or
nine
more
that
we
can
do
in
the
meantime
there,
for
instance,
one
of
the
things
in
the
police
wise
for
their
bicycle.
N
You
know
we
all
talk
about
the
the
downtown,
the
walking
the
bicycling
stuff.
Obviously,
that's
the
better
place
in
the
way
over
to
thick
have
some
bicycles
and
be
ready
for
them
to
ride
the
docks
in
the
downtown
and
do
their
thing.
Crime
prevention
officer,
overs,
can
have
the
neighborhood
watch
means
that
the
neighborhood
watch
it
in
that
area
is
organized.
He
could
have
the
meetings
in
that
building.
Besides
that,
those
are
just
some
of
the
uses
at
nights
right
report
to
whatever
those
are
some
other
uses
out
there
again.
N
There
are
also
some
catalyst
events
we
wanted
to
do
some
of
the
smaller
things.
When
we
had
the
fishing
tournament,
we
could
use
that
property
lazarre's
to
do
some
staging
some
things
for
the
fishing
term
and
just
think
of
all
the
things
going
on
at
Craig
parking
downtown
where
we
could
utilize
it
under
our
control,
plus,
we
can
make
it
look
what
we
want
and
and
hopefully,
in
the
short
amount
of
time
that
will
either
be
developed
by
the
property
owner
or
somebody
that
Karen
can
bring
in
and
just
completely
change
the
face
of
that.
N
That's
also
the
beginning
of
our
route
as
we're
finishing
up
and
doing
the
sidewalks
again
we're
completing
the
sidewalks,
the
Heritage
Center.
So
so
that's
our
walking
area
where
everything
is
going
to
start
from,
so
that
building
in
the
meantime,
to
use
as
a
catalyst.
Obviously,
we
don't
want
to
leave
a
little
piece
of
that.
N
You
know
nobody
wants
to
be
in
that
front
office
that
Motel
the
DEM
my
lunch,
the
whole
thing
and
leave
a
little
piece
there
and
going
it's
much
economical
and
easier
to
use
that
little
building
next
door
and
do
everything
from
there
then
then
to
keep
that
and
do
so.
This
is
a
good
deal.
We've
got
a
bunch
of
ideas
to
go
forward
with
it,
any
other
ideas
that
you're
gonna
add
to
it
and
it's
an
easy
contract.
N
The
parties
got
60
days
to
get
out
of
it,
so
you're
not
committed
for
a
long
period
of
time.
Hopefully
we're
shortening
up
the
lease,
because
we've
got
something
to
develop,
or
at
least
you
know,
we
start
with
development
across
the
way
of
the
Tarpeian.
So
we
just
see
it.
You
know
we
are
asked
by
the
budget
advisory.
Where
is
your
plan?
Where
is
it
that's
kind
of
our
plan
to
doing
this
time?
Also
with
the
good
news?
N
That's
add
to
this
the
good
news
of
the
of
getting
the
money
for
the
dredge
I'd
like
to
move
up
the
the
court
Street
project
to
do.
We've
got
that
temporary,
paving
there,
but
now
with
that
money
we
can
not
only
combine
with
this,
but
will
have
an
area
to
move
and
get
that
treat
completely
paved
the
landscape
and
the
stuff
we
talked
about.
We've
got
that
money
now
in
penny
money.
N
We
can
do
course
B
and
I'd
like
to
combine
this
into
the
six
months
a
year
and
then
within
the
next
six
months
that
whole
revitalization
and
making
that
area
look
like
an
oasis
to
start
their
revitalization.
So
that's
the
plan
that
everybody
has
been
asking
for
that
we
envision
from
Karen
and
I
and
and
bring
it
for
you
to
approve
and
work
with
us
to
carry
out
well.
B
Of
course,
thank
you
for
the
explanation,
because
I
had
some
questions
and
you
answer
all
these
questions
that
I
had
I
support:
two
reindeer
the
vacant
property
in
the
law.
Building
that
it's
there
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
useful
in
in
many
ways
to
use
it
as
a
community
engagement
center,
but
also
I,
like
the
fact
that
the
police
department
will
have
a
presence
there.
This
is
something
that
I
asked
before
and
I
know
that
Commissioner
Khare
asked
for
that
as
well.
B
So
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
useful,
I
think
it's
going
to
be
safety
to
the
people
and
more
like
more.
They
feel
more
comfortable
that
we
do
that
and
I
think
it's
something
that
we
should
do
that
and
also
that
I'm
hoping
that
see
that
we
have
someone
were
to
develop
the
area
and
then
we
we
get
out
of
that
contract.
I
know
that
miss
lemon
was
going
to
be
working
very
aggressive
to
bring
a
development
of
the
area,
so
I
I'm
looking
forward
to
see
that
I
support
that
yes.
E
E
Tarpon
springs
more
I
think
this
is
a
model
marketing
fun.
It's
a
III
think
it's
serving
that
purpose.
So,
if
you're
gonna,
if
you
look
at
a
lot
of
private
development,
that's
large-scale,
they
always
have
an
office
on
site.
I
think
you'd
better
that
that
just
makes
sense,
but
this
is
this
is
short-term.
That
needs
to
be
stressed.
E
We
know
how
son
Beach
here
that
often
would
do
band-aid
jobs
and
tear
it
off,
but
go
above
and
beyond
to
better
their
hotel,
and
if
we
have
any
resources
that
we
can
help
them
through
parent
to
help
them
do
that.
So
if
we
need
it
would
be
nice
to
review
this.
You
know
on
somewhat
of
a
normal
basis,
not
just
Amy
I
would
say
every
four
or
five
months
right
now
and
then,
hopefully
we
don't
need
to
be
on
a
year
or
two.
J
No
I
was
opposed
to
spending
million
dollars
on
this
project,
and
but
it's
done,
CRA
is
for
redevelopment
and
increasing
our
tax
base
and
we
actually
are
decreasing
our
tax
base
and
spending
more
money
to
upkeep
this
property
and
put
it
in
a
parking
lot
and
and
also
maintain
mr.
Hoffman's
property.
So
I'm
not
going
to
oppose
this
I
I
I'm,
not
crazy
about
I,
mean
the
lease
for
that
little
building
is
6600,
but
then
paying
mr.
Hoffman's
taxes.
J
We
bring
it
up
to
99
under
which
isn't
a
big
deal,
but
again
we're
losing
tax
space
and
we're
maintaining
a
property
and
we're
paying
his
taxes.
So
I
would
like
to
discuss
whether
we
can
do
it
for
just
a
sixty
six
hundred
instead
of
paying
mr.
Hoffman's
taxes
as
well,
because
I
understand
you
know
the
benefit
of
this
building
and
and
what
we're
trying
to
do.
J
S
We'll
be
using
what
we
are
currently
using
through
our
CRA,
so
I
do
retention
visits
every
Friday,
so
we'll
be
going
first
of
all
we're
going
around
with
the
Flyers
telling
everybody
what
it
is
on.
Facebook
I
do
a
monthly
e-newsletter
that
goes
out
to
about
a
thousand
people,
so
we'll
be
getting
it
out
there
we'd
like
to
do
a
ribbon-cutting,
the
chamber,
the
Merchants
Association.
Have
everybody
come
to
that,
so
we
can
celebrate
the
grand
opening
and
let
people
know
it's
there.
N
You
might
talk
a
little
bit
of
how
we
did
that.
Originally,
you
know
it's
easy.
The
building
when
I
ran
for
the
building
written
for
the
550.
That
was
an
easy
one.
We
wanted
all
the
land
we
wanted
the
land
to
to
have
control
the
land
stuff
I
understand,
so
you
try
to
figure
out
what
the
easiest
way
was
like
right.
Now,
it's
two
hundred
and
something
a
month
in
taxes
equivalent
or
whatever
it
is
and
stuff.
So
the
easiest
thing
to
do.
N
If
we're
going
to
take
control
it
that
we
are
there's
no
cost
for
that,
except
the
reimburse
and
FERS
act
as
though
that
was
what
able
Karin
and
stuff
was
even
negotiated,
and
it
seems
to
be
fair.
So
we
have
control
of
all
land,
not
just
control
that
the
little
building
that
way
we
can
landscape
and
combine
the
landscaping
in
between.
We
can
use
that
property.
When
we
do
the
demolition
we
can.
J
B
H
H
Have
to
disagree
what's
being
said
here
today:
we
already
rewarded
a
bad
neighbor,
eight
hundred
and
how
much
they
pay
for
their
property.
Sixty
five
thousand
dollars.
So
now
mr.
Hoffman's
had
over
20
years
to
develop
his
property
and
and
and
I
go
back
a
long
way.
But
you
know
what
he's
had
over
20
years
to
develop
that
property.
Now
we're
gonna
rent
it
back
and
beautify
it
for
him.
I
just
think
this
is
absolutely
ridiculous.
It's
gonna
cost
us
another
ten
thousand
dollars
in
a
year,
so
we
can
have
his
property.
H
H
We
have
a
cultural
center,
we
have
a
Heritage
Museum
and
we
have
city
hall
that
we
can
showcase
our
city
at.
We
just
talked
about
these
buildings
being
underutilized
and
we're
gonna
rent
a
building
for
five
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
a
month.
I
just
don't
understand
what
we're
thinking
here
and
as
mr.
DeLuca
it
out,
we
have
a
loan
from
the
penny
fund.
We
also
have
a
loan
for
the
golf
course
as
well,
so
we
are
robbing
Peter
to
pay
Paul
for
these
expenses,
we're
borrowing
money
from
everywhere.
H
H
H
So
you
know
it's
just
I
I
I,
just
don't
understand
where
we're
coming
from
with
this
baby
said
we
have
underutilized
places
in
our
city
that
we
just
talked
about
buildings
in
our
city.
We
just
talked
about
and
we're
going
to
spend
$550
plus
we'll
probably
have
to
do
some
renovations
in
there
or
something
I'm
sure.
It's
not
all
that
I
don't
know,
I,
don't
understand
what
what
I
just
don't
understand
this
concept
whatsoever.
I
know
you
want
to
sell
the
property
or
develop
it,
but
that's
our
responsibility.
Mr.
H
Hoffman's
had
20
years
to
do
something
on
that
piece
of
property
and
we
also
paid
for
an
appraisal
for
his
piece
of
property,
because
originally
we
were
gonna,
take
it
by
eminent
domain,
so
he's
got
a
free
appraisal
on
us.
He's
we're
paying
his
taxes.
Part
of
his
taxes
were
paying
for
rent
he's
a
smart
businessman.
He's
smart
I,
don't
know
about
us,
but
he's
smart,
so
I
will
not
support
this
concept.
Thank
you.
O
O
What's
the
vision,
what
do
we
want
to
see
in
Tarpon
Springs,
and
this
is
the
step
that
the
city
manager
and
economic
developer
has
taken
to
make
a
deliberate
effort
to
take
the
area
of
this
part
of
Tarpon
Springs
and
try
to
bring
it
into
redevelopment
and
a
greater
part
of
tarpon
springs.
So
thank
you
for
taking
that
step
board
and
we've
asked
for
a
plan,
and
you
provide
us
a
plan
and
that's
another
thing
that
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
too.
J
O
So
I
want
to
come
in
again
the
city
manager
for
taking
a
step
to
attract
developers
here.
This
is
a
great
idea
to
give
an
opportunity
for
individuals
come
in
to
meet
with
Karen
or
mark
in
this
area.
The
goal
was
to
attract
developers
in
this
area
to
redevelop
this
area
and
hopefully
contribute
to
the
city
to
raise
a
tax
basis.
It's
this
is
less
than
$10,000.
O
We
prove
close
to
a
million
dollars
worth
of
expenditures
tonight
and
our
consent
agenda,
and
if
we,
if
this
cost
us
no
less
than
ten
thousand
dollars
for
you
to
leases
space,
to
have
control
of
it,
I
think
it's
a
great
business
move.
If
we're
able
to
get
these
areas
redeveloped-
and
it's
really
taking
the
next
step,
which
I
mentioned
earlier
and
then
also
beautifying,
this
part
of
Tarpon
Springs-
this
is
a
just
like
the
Sponge
Docks
is
heavily
visited.
O
The
spring
Bayou
area
is
heavily
visited
each
year
when
people
come
to
visit,
the
the
manatees
you've
got,
the
art
shows
and
you've
got
the
other
things
that
go
on
in
the
area
from
epiphany
to
school
functions
where
kids
come
and
take
pictures
for
prom
and
homecoming
and
there's
also
visitors
out
of
there
throughout
the
year.
So
these
are
areas
that
have
been
neglected
for
many
years
and
it's
gonna
be
I,
think
a
refreshing
facelift
to
this
area
of
town.
N
O
Because
when
you
have
a
lot
of
people
that
are
walking
from
downtown
into
the
Bayou
area,
I
think
that's
an
important
part.
I
also
like
the
mayor
mentioned
earlier,
I
asked
that
you
look
into
doing
some
type
of
satellite
area
for
the
police
department
and
I.
Do
support
that
as
well
as
it
was
mentioned
when
major
trills
here,
when
you
have
low
rent
it
could
attract
or
will
attract,
not
necessarily
the
best
clientele.
So
it's
good
to
have
an
area
still
to
discourage
any
trouble
and
activity
across
the
street.
O
E
Just
real
quick,
just
just
think
point
out
something,
and
obviously,
if
you're
opposed
to
this
whole
product
in
general,
there's
nothing
I,
say
or
anybody
would
say
that
would
convince
you.
Otherwise,
it
and
I
have
respect
for
that,
but
from
a
real
estate
perspective,
we're
not
just
we're
not
just
paying
his
property
taxes
if
we
just
had
control
of
that
small
building
and
not
controlled
the
land.
I
would
not
support
that,
but
essentially
the
200
hours
a
month
in
taxes
that
were
forgiving
and
repaying,
or
you
know
whatever.
E
That's
us
renting
that
that
land
from
him
it's
essentially
a
land
lease.
So
that's
why
I
can
support
that.
I
would
not
support
if
we
just
rented
that
old
hair
salon
had
no
control
over
the
corner.
That
would
that
would
that
would
be
stupid
in
law.
Okay,
so
I
think,
regardless
of
how
you
voted
to
to
bison,
they
are
not
Brett.
We
we
are
in
this
situation
now.
E
I
think
the
quickest
way
to
move
these
properties
is
to
do
like
private
developers
do
and
as
we're
doing
here,
as
you
have
an
on
site,
you
know
you
have
a
temporary
on-site
office
to
help
attract
people
and
move
this
along
I
think
the
best
way
to
do
nothing
for
the
city
to
just
hold
onto
it
not
be
on
the
tax
rolls.
Probably
nothing
happened
to
any
adjacent
properties.
It's
a
teardown,
sunbae
and
fence
it
off
that's
ugly
and
doesn't
do
anything
so
if
you're
opposed
to
this
I
obviously
respect
that.
E
E
J
J
It's
not
the
city's
responsibility
to
go
around
beautifying
everybody's
property
and
so
I'm
only
opposed
to
almost
three
hundred
dollars
a
month
in
taxes
now
I'm
gonna,
you
know
support
this
I
just
wanted
to
to
say
what
my
opinion
was
on
that,
because
I
feel
that
it
is
the
owner's
responsibility
to
take
care
of
his
own
property,
not
ours,
and
so
I'm
opposed
to
paying
his
taxes
and
beautifying
his
property
and
maintaining
his
property.
Just
because
I
think
that's
not
our
responsibility
and
it's
not
a
good
precedents,
but
I
understand
the
concept.
J
N
And
we
can,
we
can
talk
more,
it's
written
up
contract
really
we're
really
like.
He
said
we're
leasing
or
we're
leasing
that
for
the
200,
whatever
the
division
is,
it's
take
the
taxes
out
of
it.
We
could
have
wrote
it
up,
we're
doing
this
550
and
released
in
the
land,
and
we
just
want
to
equivalent
what
was
the
land
worth
now.
I'm
sure.
N
N
And
so,
even
though
the
contract
was
written
up
that
way
to
do,
and
that
helps
us,
because
the
tax
bill
doesn't
come
to
the
next
budget
year,
so
we're
only
paying
the
550
and
we're
reimbursing
so
we're
within
this
budget
and
this
budget
the
CRA
helping
us,
but
we
could
have
just
very
easily
put
it
554
there
and
250
whatever
it
was
for
land
or
the
way,
the
the
only
equivalent
to
the
taxes.
That
was
a
fair
thing
to
at
least
you
know.
N
If
worked,
it
were
taken
to
use
and
do
it
and
it's
not
a
lot
of
things.
The
main
landscaping
thing
the
fix
on
this
property
is
when
I
tear
down
the
motel,
there's
an
ugly
hole
there
and
stuff
to
use
his
area
along
with
our
area
to
make.
So
while
it
may
be
on
his
property,
it's
really
to
beautify
and
enhanced.
Well,
we
have
left
the
motel
on
our
property.
It's
not
really
to
do
his
now,
planting
some
seed
and
doing
the
grass
and
making
that
look
more
of
an
oasis
or
putting
some
shrubs.
N
That's
real,
simple,
inexpensive,
you
with
staff
very
little
money
to
do,
but
the
beautification
is
more
of
to
enhance
our
beautification
for
the
plot
land
we
have
than
to
make
his
property
look
good
because,
obviously,
we'll
have
a
strip
where
it
goes
down
to
put
our
landscaping
and,
of
course,
I
do
landscape
this
an
offense.
We
got
to
look
good,
but
now,
if
I've
got
his
awesome,
stuff,
I
can
make
a
more
beautiful,
better
landscape
and
really
make
that
oasis
we're
trying
to
get
little
small
either
of
things
the
building.
N
If
we
got
little
of
things
to
do,
we've
got
as
you
see
from
all
the
work
we
do
in
house
in
the
building
doing
that
and
stuff,
so
we're
not
really
giving
them
nothing
there
and
stuff.
So
again,
that's
just
the
vision
of
there.
We
don't
see
it
as
doing
that.
We
see
that
as
usual
eyes
in
the
land
and
use
it
to
enhance
our
property
as
opposed
to
enhancing
his
property.
M
M
I
was
hoping,
maybe
something
a
click
and
I
still
really
don't
get.
It
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
divergent
messages
coming
across,
at
least
to
me
we're
talking
about.
We
want
to
have
this
place
for
development.
Well,
we
know
that
no
developer
is
gonna,
be
coming
in
and
purchasing
just
the
Sun
Bay
property.
So
are
we
helping
mr.
Hoffman,
who
you
know
I
went
to
elementary
school
with
his
daughter.
You
know
known
them
for
a
very
long
time,
so
nothing
against
them.
M
You
have
some
grand
scheme.
You
know
five
years
down
the
road
where
this
is
all
going
to
come
to
fruition
and
look
it's
ten
thousand
dollars.
It's
it's
not
a
lot
of
money.
That's
not
really
the
point
to
me.
The
point
is
it
just:
you
know:
we
talked
about
a
police
substation
if
we
didn't
buy
by
the
motel
and
now
I
feel
like
we're
creating
a
police
substation,
even
though
we
bought
the
motel.
So
it's
just
there's
a
lot
of
divergent
messages.
M
In
my
opinion
that
are
coming
across
and
and
this
may
be
a
plan
but
like
ribbon,
cutting
I
mean
we're
making
it
seem
to
me
making.
It
seem
like
it's
this
permanent
fixture
that
some
of
you,
this
great
thing,
that
people
are
gonna,
come
down
to
and
no
offense
I
just
I,
don't
see
that
I
know
if
they're
not
gonna
come
here
to
look
at
pictures
of
projects,
I,
don't
think
anybody's
gonna
go
to
the
Bayou
I
think
it
seems
like
an
excuse,
as
a
police
substation
to
me
and
I.
M
Think
that's
because
we
all
know
that
the
tarpon
in
it's
also
a
problem
that
the
you
know,
the
other
apartments
are
still
a
problem
and
that
spending
a
million
dollars
really
didn't
do
anything
to
affect
the
crime.
So
we
still
have
to
do
something
else
going
forward,
and
so
this
is
more
money,
more
money,
more
money.
This
is
just
a
little
bit
that
we're
proving
today,
but
you
know,
I
feel
like
every
step
of
this
process.
You
know
back
to
when
we
were
talking
I'm
in
a
domain.
M
It
was
hold
on
wait
until
the
next
step
hold
on
wait
until
the
next
step.
We
got
it
hold
on
wait
and
we
just
keep
going
and
we're
not
there
and
I
understand
it's
gonna
take
a
long
time
for
development,
as
I
said
when
I
first
started
just
seemed
just
a
very
bizarre
thing
to
me:
I'd
almost
rather,
we
just
do
with
something
really
quick.
M
A
Peter
likes
five-on-four,
Ashland,
Avenue
I
know.
The
next
item
will
deal
with
the
resolution
to
shift
some
monies
and
such
but
I
appreciate
the
gentleman
bringing
up
the
trickle-down
effect.
I
would
have
liked
to
have
seen
some
kind
of
financial
statement
such
that
indicated.
All
the
costs
in
all
this
in
the
you
know
bring
it
up
later
in
the
next
one
about
the
attorney
and
closing
costs.
A
But
how
much
did
we
eventually
end
up
spending
on
that
special
attorney
that
we
were
paying
500
an
hour
for
I
know
the
last
clock
was
around
what
9
10
12
grand.
So
where
are
we
at
on
that
and
now
earlier
in
the
consent
agenda,
you
approved
an
increase
in
spending
for
landscaping
out
of
the
BOC
budget.
A
So
now
is
the
CRA
going
to
go
and
get
their
own
landscaping
contract,
or
are
they
going
to
use
the
landscaping
services
from
the
BOC
budget
and
get
reimbursed?
The
CRA
is
going
to
reimburse
the
city
on
that
here
again,
where
is
that
mingling
of
funds,
how
you
gonna
keep
track
of
it?
Ron's
got
a
lot
of
plenty
to
do
already
and
y'all
gonna
be
busy
with
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff.
So
it's
easy
to
get
sidetracked
and,
as
commissioner
Kitka
brought
up,
you
got
the
Heritage
Center
right
across
the
crust
spring.
A
But
here
again
it's
that
ten
thousand
here
20
thousand
there
closing
costs
all
this
shuffling
of
money,
so
I
would
say
I'm
sure
it's
going
to
pass
y'all
will
do
the
best
you
can
to
make
the
properties
attractive,
but
again,
I
just
feel
it's
progressing
down
an
expensive
way
to
handle
this
situation
that
could
have
been
handled.
Otherwise.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Q
O
B
B
N
I'll
bring
Ron
hearing
up
I,
know
we've
kept
hearing
about
this
shifting
into
no
money
and
stuff,
but
I
think
people
know
my
reputation.
They
know
Ron
herrings,
then
this
is
not
shell
game
or
anything.
This
is
all
upfront.
Fine,
so
Ron
go
ahead,
X
and
explain
to
him
this
portion,
the
resolution
and
good.
K
B
N
Little
bit
again
remember
when
we
were
talking
about
how
we
were
gonna
finance
that
we
set
up
the
600,000.
Obviously
we
didn't
know
a
lot
of
continuously,
so
we
did
up.
Obviously
you
taken
a
hundred
thousand
off
the
purchase
price
did
a
lot
for
reducing
that
when
we
agreed
to
it
for
that
that
was
100
thousand
off
the
top.
We've
got
half
of
the
half
of
the
you
know.
We
came
in
a
Half,
Price
less
for
the
demolition
so
low,
in
fact
that
we
could
do
it
within
the
CRA.
N
We
also
had
the
advantage
of
No
that
looked
like
the
silver
king
is
gonna,
get
bought
with
another
125,000
infused,
which
was
an
investment
back
into
CRA.
We've
got
that
many
available.
So
what
I'm
telling
you
here
right
now
is
that
all
we
anticipate
we
need
the
bar
from
the
water
and
sewer
fund
is
not
to
the
up
to
600,000
is
down
to
350.
N
This
will
enable
us
to
pay
that
back
in
three
years,
instead
of
four
years
without
any
effect
to
the
CRA
and
the
rest
of
it
we're
comfortable
and
especially
when
that
money
comes
in
for
the
Silver,
King,
June
July
or
whatever
that's
supposed
to
be
in.
We
still
got
play
enough
we're
also,
as
you
can
see
in
this
budget,
keeping
our
promise
that
that
there
would
still
be
money
in
the
CRA
to
fund
programs
and
we're
taking
the
fifth
50
more
thousand
dollars,
because
we're
starting
to
run
a
little
low
in
that.
N
But
we've
got
the
money
to
put
50
thousand
into
that
CRE
improvement.
In
case
we
get
a
bunch
of
grants
coming
in
until
October,
first
and
stuff.
You
know
it's
kind
of
funny.
Anyway,
you
see
our
a
you
service
tra,
you
do
this
board
and
stuff,
but
you
know
it
all
works
together,
and
these
are
the
mechanisms
to
what
you
can
do.
I'm
very
happy
with
that
three
hundred.
N
Fifty
thousand
that's
gonna,
be
the
only
loan
that
we're
gonna
need
from
the
water
sewer
I'm
happy
with
the
ability
bill
to
pay
it
back
in
three
years
to
it
before
we
explain
the
rationale
about
that.
So
this
is
how
we're
gonna
do.
It
is
a
lot
better
situation
than
we
talked
about
before,
so
we
actually
approve
this.
This
a
resolution.
B
A
Where
is
that
money
coming
from
if
there
wasn't
any
carryover
from
before?
So
those
were
a
couple
of
things
and
again
as
I
bring
up
I
know
these
are
increases
in
the
CRA
budget,
but
I
have
not
seen
any
agreements
or
contractual
paperwork
indicating
the
terms
and
conditions
for
these
cross
expenditures.
Thank
you.
Thank.
