Thank
you
very
much
mayor
I,
appreciate
it
to
the
Commission
for
bestowing
this
appreciation
on
me.
I
started
here
in
Tarpon
Springs
almost
40
years
ago
and
was
given
an
opportunity
by
chief
Blaine
Lucas
as
a
young
man
and
I,
always
appreciated
that
and
remember
that,
obviously,
as
a
citizen
here
in
Tarpon
Springs
I
love
the
city,
it's
something
that,
as
the
gentleman
the
chaplain
said,
it's
a
great
city
and
people
come
here
with
a
lot
of
memories.
E
G
You
can't
get
by
without
having
me
say
something
you
know,
I've
said
he's
been
here
50
years,
I
think
I've
known
him.
That
long
and
you
know
I'm
a
few
years
older
than
George,
and
one
of
the
things
that
that
prides
me
living
here
in
Tarpon
Springs
is
watching
some
of
our
young
men
who
have
grown
up
in
this
community
who
have
have
grown.
You
know,
including
mr.
G
A
F
H
As
it
was
stated
by
mr.
Stephan
earlier,
this
is
a
community
that
many
people
come
to
rally
around
because
they
believe,
and
not
only
our
own
self
government
but
the
quality
of
life
that
we
want
and
expect
from
our
local
city.
You
will
see
that
in
a
moment
when
the
presentation
comes
of
what
we're
doing
for
our
schools,
but
what
I
want
to
speak
about
now
is
a
community
effort,
an
organization
of
citizens
who
came
together
to
express
their
opinion.
H
So
I,
don't
know
if
it's
become
public
I
got
a
rumor
earlier
and
I
confirmed
it
with
Miss
lemons.
That
Wawa
is
pulling
their
application
for
the
site
at
alternate,
19
and
mirrors.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
of
those
who
put
in
the
efforts
to
stop
this
project
from
that
site
and,
as
I've
said
before,
and
I
will
say
it
again,
it's
just
the
wrong
site.
I
spoke
to
miss
lemons
and
what
I
think
the
board
and
our
city
administration
should
do
is
reach
out
to
once
a
were
not
against
you.
H
It
just
was
the
wrong
place.
The
right
place
is
mirrors
and
nineteen,
some
of
you
may
know
it-
there's
a
strip
center
face
in
nineteen
there's
another
strips
Center
perpendicular
to
that.
That's
where
there's
a
hookah
shop,
an
insurance
agency,
the
exotic
pets
and
some
other.
You
know
retail
units,
but
that
Plaza
is
totally
underutilized
and
if
you
drive
down
mirrors
towards
north
or
Distan
you'll,
see
F.
Do
you
get
behind
that
Plaza?
H
There's
a
huge
parking
lot
with
a
whole
bunch
of
white
vans
back
there
I'd
not
sure
what
the
business
is
for,
but
the
point
I'm
making
is
is
there's
at
least
five
acres
there
that's
the
place
they
need
to
be
once
Mears
Mango
is
completed.
The
rest
of
the
west
part
of
nineteen
will
have
access
to
that
station.
So
again,
I
would
like
to
say
we're
not
against
Wawa.
We
were
just
against
where
they
were
gonna
put
it.
H
A
You
if
anyone
has
any
other
public
comments
of
the
items
that
will
not
be
discussed
tonight.
If
you
please
come
forward
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
begin
four
minutes
here
now.
Thank
you,
and
now
we
go
into
the
air
presentation.
The
pH
ta
cos
Brown
coaster
al
by
Cassandra
workers,
the
chief
developer
officer.
I
Good
evening,
while
they
pull
my
presentation
up,
thank
you.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
in
tarpon
springs
this
evening.
I
am
Cassandra
Borchers
I'm,
the
chief
development
officer
at
the
Pinellas
Suncoast
Transit
Authority,
and
we
are
currently
serving
the
city
of
tarpon
springs
with
a
number
of
brush
outs,
including
the
coastal
route,
which
is
operated
by
our
service
partner.
The
Jolly
trolley.
I
So
you
can
get
a
sense
of
what
services
we
have
that
are
partnered
with
the
Jolly
trolley.
We
have
three
routes
which
include
the
coastal
route,
but
they
all
come
together
to
form
part
of
our
beach
services
along
the
north
coats
and
Clearwater
Beach.
The
north
beach
route
and
the
South
Beach
route
have
long
been
a
partnership
with
the
city
of
Clearwater
and
the
coastal
route
has
been
a
partnership
with
the
cities
and
municipalities
along
the
north
coast.
I
I
Seven
days
a
week
with
the
Jolly
trolley
vehicles,
we've
also
been
working
with
the
city
of
Clearwater
on
their
Spring
Break
services,
and
this
benefits
the
communities
along
the
coastal
route,
because
we
advertise
what
services
we
have
along
the
north
coast
and
we've
seen
an
incredible
jump
in
the
ridership
along
the
coastal
route.
Because
of
this.
I
So,
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
history
about
the
coastal
route
we
began
in
2010
and
part
of
the
service
was
supported
by
the
Florida
Department
of
Transportation
in
their
service
development
grant
program.
It
was
only
three
days
a
week,
a
Friday
Saturday
and
Sunday,
and
the
partners
shared
5050
in
the
cost.
After
the
grant
in
October
of
2016,
the
grant
had
run
out
and
the,
but
we
had
expanded
the
service
to
a
seven-day-a-week
service,
as
I
mentioned
before,
in
combination
with
route
66.
I
What
this
did
was
it
changes
the
profile
of
our
riders,
not
just
bringing
the
services
to
tourists,
but
also
giving
residents
and
workers
an
opportunity
to
get
up
to
Tarpon
Springs
this
summer
in
summer
of
2017,
we
entered
into
new
contract
with
the
Jolly
trolley
and
that
changed
our
cost
estimates
for
the
revenue
service
hours.
This
was
fair
to
the
Jolly
trolley
as
a
service
provider
and
as
a
private
business
in
February
of
2018.
We
then
expanded
our
service
on
the
coastal
route
to
give
a
one-seat
ride
from
Clearwater
Beach
to
tarpon
springs.
I
What
we've
found
is
that
people
are
taking
this
in
both
directions.
During
our
surveys,
in
the
spring
break
season,
we
found
there
were
a
number
of
people
who
are
riding
the
entire
length
of
the
route
either
coming
to
or
from
Tarpon
Springs.
This
has
been
something
new
for
us,
because
when
we
originally
had
our
connections
at
Island
estates,
we
didn't
get
that
one
seat
ride
feel
up
into
tarpon
springs,
and
so
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
the
ridership
from
2017
to
2018
because
of
it.
I
We've
had
a
number
of
changes
in
the
agreement
over
the
years
and
I'll
get
to
what
this
year's
proposal
is
in
just
a
minute,
but
I
want
to
show
you
how
the
amount
of
funding
that
PSTA
has
been
contributing
to
this
route
has
increased
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
years.
As
I
mentioned,
we
did
have
a
50-50
agreement
for
some
time
and
in
2016
we
did
have
some
issues
with
the
DDB.
I
We
continued
this
formula,
but
we
had
a
change
with
the
new
contract
of
the
Jolly
trolley,
so
their
cost
per
revenue
hour
went
up
about
20
percent
from
what
we
were
paying
before
then
to
the
new
contract,
and
this
was
based
on
their
audited
rates
that
they
had
shown
us.
So
we
limited
the
increase
to
our
city
partners
to
7%,
because
we
knew
that
our
city
partners
couldn't
necessarily
wear
a
20
percent
increase.
We
continued
that
Spring
Break
promotion,
again
funded
by
the
city
of
Clearwater,
as
well
as
added
the
Blue
Jays.
I
This
was
at
no
cost
to
the
route
partners,
but
it
did
bring
a
lot
of
attention
to
the
route
and
people
were
able
to
use
this
in
both
directions
to
Dunedin
tarpon
springs
and
to
Clearwater
our
proposed
route
agreement.
For
this
year,
we
proposed
that
we
keep
the
allocations
the
same
meaning
PSTA
would
pick
up
88
percent
of
the
total
cost
of
the
coastal
route,
but
because
of
the
change
in
our
ridership
and
a
decrease
in
the
fare
box
revenue,
we
are
asking
for
an
increase
in
the
total
amount
of
contribution.
I
I
A
I
Know
how
many
riders
we
have
for
the
entire
system,
so
in
2017
we
are
just
over
a
hundred
thousand
people
annually
and
this
year
we're
on
target
to
to
increase
that
so
we're
already
in
jail
at
the
end
of
July.
At
a
hundred
thousand.
We
also
this
year
we
are
going
to
install
automatic
passenger
counters
on
our
entire
fleet,
and
so
that
will
give
us
the
data
to
know
exactly
who
and
how
many
people
are
boarding
and
alighting
in
Tarpon,
Springs
and
we'll
have
that
data
next
year.
J
I
Clear
water,
the
city
of
Clearwater,
contributes
to
the
beach
routes,
and
so
they
fund
50
percent
of
the
South
Beach
route
and
the
north
beach
route,
and
their
total
contribution
is
somewhere
in
the
range
of
$220,000,
and
so
they
are
paying
for
services.
They
also
helped
with
the
Clearwater
Beach
Transfer
Center,
which
is
what
has
allowed
us
to
give
the
coastal
route
a
one-seat
ride
to
the
two
tarpon
springs,
and
that
contribution
was
at
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
the
capital.
Investment.
I
Some
of
it
is
the
vehicle.
Some
of
it
is
what
we
like
to
call
transport
a
manaat'
just
about
getting
people
to
where
they're
going,
but
also
about
the
journey
and
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
special
things
that,
by
having
a
partner
like
the
Jolly
trolley
and
the
vehicles
that
they
have,
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
really
suit
serve
multiple
markets
and
we're
trying
to
do
that
in
other
parts
of
the
county.
So
this
is
a
leader
for
North
County,
showing
the
rest
of
the
county.
How
to
have
route
that
can
be
increasing.
F
Thank
You
Cassandra,
for
coming
and
for
your
presentation,
I
did
speak
to
Brad
today
and
I'm
happy
to
see
that
the
new
Clearwater
Beach
Transit
Center,
is
now
going
to
be
used.
I
know
that
well.
First
of
all,
tourism
is
our
number
one
industry
in
Tarpon
Springs,
and
so
we
want
that
ridership
to
Tarpon
to
be
efficient
and
pleasant
and
back
to
wherever
they
came
from,
and
there
were
some
delays
with
the
island
estates.
F
Stop
I
understand
from
what
he
said
that
that
stop
is
still
there
for
North
Clearwater
Beach,
but
not
the
South
Clearwater
Beach.
Is
that
correct?
So
because
you
know,
with
my
experience,
I've
waited
thirty
to
fifty
minutes
one
day
over
an
hour
to
change
trolleys
to
North,
Clearwater
Beach
and
stopped
writing
after
that,
and
you
know-
and
that
was
a
comment.
I
got
from
our
tourists
as
well.
Just
to
you
know
three
to
four
hours
for
the
total
around
trip
transportation.
F
C
I
There's
a
couple
of
reasons:
one
is
the
long-standing
business
of
the
Jolly
trolley,
which
is
a
not-for-profit,
has
been
part
of
the
beach
experience
for
a
very
long
time,
and
so
that
is
something
that
we
would
like
to
do
is
support
local
businesses.
The
other
part
of
this
is
that
the
fun
way
that
PSTA
is
funding
funded.
I
We
have
some
issues
with
getting
new
vehicles
and
there
are
vehicle
replacement,
and
so
it
is
actually
more
cost
effective
for
us
to
outsource
a
portion
of
our
services
in
order
to
replace
the
buses
that
we
currently
have
in
our
fleet
and
allow
the
Jolly
trolley
in
order
to
fund
those
other
those
other
vehicles
within
the
total
fleet
of
the
Pinellas
County
system.
How.
I
I
Collected
just
like
they
are
for
for
our
fleet
through
a
Gen
Fair
fare
box
and
the
patron
puts
money
into
the
fare
box,
and,
and
there
is
a
ticket
that
is
dispersed,
a
lot
of
the
riders
on
the
Jolly
trolley
are
buying
day
passes,
so
the
driver
often
does
not
even
touch
the
money
it
just
the
all
he
or
she
does
is
make
sure
that
that
person
gets
their
day
pass.
It's.
C
I
C
I
C
I'm
just
concerned
enough,
anyone
else
read
the
article
about
the
city
of
Clearwater,
how
they
had
a
Parks
Department
employee
that
was
taking
cash
and
it
was
like
over
embezzled
$120,000
over
the
past
few
years
over
recreation.
So
that's
why
I'm
just
curious
there's
a
lot
of
cash
involved,
I'm
sure
with
the
teller,
trolley
and
well.
I
Quite
frankly,
our
cash
is
actually
down
and
we're
actually
trying
to
take
it
even
lower.
We
have
our
new
flamingo
fares,
starting
probably
early
next
year,
and
that
will
allow
people
to
buy
their
passes
either
through
a
smart
card.
So
it
would
be
a
reloadable
smart
card
or
through
an
app
and
we're
really
hoping
to
market
the
app
to
tourists.
So
it
will
be
at
actually
a
cashless,
a
transaction
who.
C
During
the
RFP
process,
I
mean:
do
we
look
at
the
PLS?
It's
a
nonprofit
organization,
how
it's
just
interesting,
you're
saying
the
ridership
is
up,
but
then
we're
going
to
increase
by
10%
or
there's
a
20%
increase
overall,
and
that
doesn't
make
sense-
and
it's
hard
for
me
to
comprehend
that
being
business
background
to
say,
revenues
up.
It's
the
bus,
but
we're
gonna
increase
the
rates
of
the
dollar
Charlie's,
passing
on
to
the
cities
and
I
understand.
Yes,.
I
So
fare
box
recovery
is
calculated
by
what
somebody
what
the
passengers
are
paying
versus
how
much
service
were
putting
out
on
the
road,
so
it's
usually
done
as
a
ratio
of
the
revenue
service
hours
cost.
In
this
case
the
majority
of
the
people
who
are
riding
the
Jolly
trolley
when
the
three
day
a
week
service
were
full
fare
passengers,
so
they
were
tourists.
I
They
were
buying
five
dollar
daily
passes
when
we
combined
the
services
on
the
route
66
with
the
services
of
the
Jolly
trolley
and
made
at
one,
you
had
a
different
kind
of
ridership
makeup,
meaning
that
you're
having
more
workers
and
other
people
who
are
buying
two
passes
at
a
discount.
If
you
buy
a
Monthly
Pass
at
$70,
then
you
and
you
ride
every
day
twice
a
day.
You,
you
you're
the
amount
of
money
that
we're
collecting
per
ride
from
that
person
drops.
I
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
a
program
for
the
transportation
disadvantaged
where
people
who
are
at
the
poverty
level
or
150%
or
lower
of
the
poverty
level
can
get
a
Monthly
Pass
for
$11,
and
so
this
changes
the
profile
of
every
single
route.
We
have
around
the
county.
This
particular
route
on
the
coastal
route
is
a
very
high
fare
box
recovery
in
general.
C
I
C
Has
there
been
discussions?
I
noticed
that
the
Jolly
trolley
has
advertising
on
the
side
of
the
their
trolleys,
as
there
have
been
discussions
with
I
think
the
city
of
Tarpon
would
be.
It
would
benefit
the
city
of
Tarpon
a
lot
to
add
advertisement,
along
with
our
agreement,
to
continue
to
fund
these
trolleys
for
a
non-profit
and
local
business,
I'm,
not
sure
how
they
incorporate
the
funding
for
advertising
I
know.
Most
advertising
is
unfulfilled,
based
on
what
I've
seen,
there's
usually
always
open
spots
in
the
side
of
the
trolley.
C
I
The
advertising
that
discount
that
the
Jolly
trolley
had
given
to
PSTA
and
the
partners
in
the
years
past
had
actually
fallen
short,
meaning
that
the
businesses
along
the
coastal
route
were
not
meeting
the
goal
of
of
the
advertising,
and
so
we
took
that
out
of
this
year's
agreement
and
I
believe
was
out
of
last
year's
agreement
as
well.
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
to
our
advertising
folks
to
see
what
their
current
pricing
is
and
see.
C
Annual
commitment
for
supporting
the
Jolly
trolley
being
with
that
said,
I
visited
Savannah
this
past
week
and
st.
Augustine
and
Jekyll
Island,
st.
Augustine
in
Savannah
both
had
robust
trolley
routes
and
my
wife
and
I
both
rode
them
all
around
the
town
looked
at
the
history.
It
was
something
that
was
very
beneficial.
We
both
really
enjoyed
it.
It
was
it's
obvious.
There's
it
helps
tourism.
It
gives
the
tour
something
to
do.
C
I
think,
there's
I
think
we're
missing
out
an
opportunity
if
we're
not
getting
advertising
tied
along
with
our.
If
you
want
to
call
fee
that
we're
paying
for
a
non-profit
local
business
to
run
this,
that
doesn't
have
full
advertising
or
writing
inside
of
their
trolleys.
So
during
discussion,
when
we
go
to
make
a
motion
for
approval,
I
think
I've
got
some
further
comments.
So
thank
you
for
your
information
and
presenting
tonight.
F
F
No,
you
then,
because
I
know
the
Merchants
Association
is
advertised
outside
the
trolley
in
the
past
and
is
looking
to
advertise
again
and
yeah.
It
does
cost,
but
it's
worth
it
to
our
businesses.
So,
and
maybe
we
can
look
into
what
we
can
do
with
the
city,
but
and
I
did
also
I
appreciate
you
asking
this
about
ridership
and
how
you
collect
the
money
or
the
tickets,
because
that
has
been
brought
up
in
the
past
and
I.
F
J
I
J
Mr.
Latura
are
we
talking.
I
know,
you've
had
some
concerns
about
the
route
and
its
changes
and
I
was
like
I
mean
I.
You
know
I've
definitely
been
in
the
past.
Now
that's
no
mystery
to
anybody,
but
having
been
on
that
board
for
about
nine
months,
I
mean
it.
It
operates
on
a
loss.
There's
there's
no
way
around
it
to
a
certain
extent.
You
have
to
look
at
it
as
as
a
as
a
public
service
out
of
how
it's
a
bad
example.
J
Well,
no
that
one,
but
like
life
like
like
our
health
care
clinic,
you
know
it
well,
it
just
now
broke
even
but
three
years
that
I've
already
had
a
loss,
but
it
was
a
benefit
to
our
employees.
That's
gonna
happen,
that's
kind
of
how
Transit
is,
and
so
you
know
it's
not
it's
it's
hard
to
look
at
it
as
a
business,
because
I
think
you'd
be
are
pressed
by
any
transit
agency
in
America,
that's
operating
in
a
in
a
in
a
profitable
manner.
If
it's
a
public
transit.
You
know
you
know,
agency.
J
Commissioners
are
definite,
bought
up
some
good
ideas
about
city,
doing
advertising
on
there
and
you
know,
perhaps
maybe
we
should
have
the
update
on
the
Jolly
trolley,
maybe
twice
a
year
to
help
with
the
information.
So
it's
not
kind
of
all
at
once
and
we
can
maybe
have
more
input
as
it
goes
along.
H
H
Okay,
well,
the
reason
why
I'm,
bringing
this
up
and
part
of
the
reason,
I
think
the
commissioners
here
are
questioning
some
of
the
let's
say:
cashbox
accounting
is
the
fact
that
I've
been
here
at
least
twice
before
when
I've
ridden
the
Jolly
trolley
and
when
I've
gone
on
a
regular
PST,
a
bus
yeah
there
is
that
box,
where
you
have
to
put
the
money
in
or
your
card
or
something
and
it
logs
it
and
gives
you
a
ticket.
But
my
experiences
on
the
Jolly
trolley
have
not
been
that
way.
H
I've
had
to
give
the
driver
the
cash
received
no
ticket,
it
was
just
one
way:
it
wasn't
a
round
trip
so
there
again
that
money
is
unaccounted
for.
She
may
stick
it
in
a
box.
I,
don't
know
how
it
works.
So
when
you
have
on
your
screen
saying
you
know,
increase
my
net
fare
box
are
concerned
at
least
mine,
expressing
it
to
the
board
and
I.
Think
they're
expressing
it
to
you
is
the
accountability
and
I
think
that's
what
Commissioner
Carr
was
talking
about.
H
H
If,
on
the
jolly
trolleys,
there
is
no
fare
box
to
either
put
in
the
money
or
account
for
that,
and
so
that's
something
I
have
expressed
a
couple
of
times
and
I
think
they
have
expressed
you
and
I
just
would
like
to
reiterate
because,
as
it
has
been
expressed,
this
is
something
we've
supported
over
the
years
and
it's
a
valuable
experience,
but
we
would
like
to
make
sure
that
the
monetary
accounting
is
properly
being
accounted
for.
Thank
you.
K
You
Mara,
as
you
know,
this
city
and
the
police
department
have
always
had
a
very
strong
commitment
to
our
schools
now
with
the
safety
of
schools,
but
the
mentoring
of
kids
and
working
with
the
educational
system
to
basically
make
things
better,
you
know
make
a
difference.
As
you
know,
I
came
before
you
after
March
9th
2018,
which,
when
the
governor
signed
into
law
of
the
Marjory
Stoneman
Douglas
High
School
Public
Safety
Act.
As
you
know,
this
Act
requires
armed
security
personnel
in
every
school
public
school
to
include
charter
schools
in
the
whole
state.
K
The
Commission
granted
us
authority
to
add
to
positions
to
the
police
department
we've
since
hired
a
bunch
of
people,
and
we
really
revamped
our
SRO
program
where
you
see
a
whole
chain
of
command
from
myself
to
major
young,
the
sergeant
fog,
low
and
all
the
SROs
that
will
be
covering
the
schools
we
have
to
in
a
high
school
and
every
other
school
has
one
all
these
officers
are
trained,
they're
experienced
and
they're
Agag.
Oh
we've
already
started
the
new
school
year,
obviously
with
with
the
Pinellas
County
public
school
system.
K
L
Evening,
mr.
mayor
yeah,
poor
Commissioner
is
it's
truly
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
be
up
here
before
you
tonight
to
introduce
our
our
SRO
unit.
This
is
an
extraordinary
team,
but
before
I
get
to
introducing
them
individually,
I
want
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
how
we
got
here.
First
off.
What's
the
purpose
of
an
SRO,
you
know
they
provide
a
safe
learning
environment
for
everybody,
the
students,
the
staff
visitors,
the
community
as
a
whole.
L
You
know
I
often
say
to
people
that
the
SRO
acts
as
a
mentor,
a
teacher,
a
counselor
and
yes,
of
course,
a
law
enforcement
officer.
You
know,
but
their
daily
activities
can
be
a
whole
plethora
of
things
and
there
on
the
campus
there
to
provide
the
security,
but
they
worked
in
concert
with
the
school
administration
that
that
partnership
that
we
have
with
all
our
schools
and
in
Tarpon
Springs,
is
the
most
important
aspect
here
and
as
truly
as
a
partnership
with
all
our
principals
and
administration.
The
next
part
is
a
history
of
our
where'd.
L
We
come
from
in
1996.
We
took
our
first
a
throw
out
of
the
middle
school
shortly
after
that
in
2005
we
wrote
a
grant
and
got
one
of
the
first
elementary
school
s,
rows
anywhere.
That
was
through
the
cops
office
and
Commission
approved
that
grant,
and
that
was
something
that
then
chief
Lycoris
strove
to
to
bring
to
this
city,
and
we
were
one
of
the
first
ones,
not
only
in
the
county,
obviously,
but
throughout
the
nation,
to
have
an
SRO
assigned
to
the
elementary
schools.
L
And
so
that's
not
a
new
concept
for
us
here
to
have
elementary
school
s
arose
in
2007.
We
took
over
responsibilities
out
of
Tarpon
high.
We
have
two
out
there.
We
had
two
officers
out
there
for
quite
a
period
of
time
now.
Actually,
since,
since
we
took
it
over,
we
immediately
had
two
officers
out
there.
L
Everybody
can
be
proud
that
this
this
team
is
standing
ready
in
every
school
and
that
that
goes
across
board
for
law
enforcement
everywhere
and
but
we're
especially
proud
of
our
team
and
at
this
time,
I
want
to
take
the
time
to
introduce
our
team.
First
off
sergeant,
Fogg
know
he's
the
unit
supervisor
officer.
Liang
he's
our
Estero
at
out.
Tarpon
springs
middle
school
he's
been
there
for
a
few
years.
Now.
Next
up
is
officer.
L
Christine
Brinker,
she's
new
to
the
unit
she's
going
to
be
assigned
to
Tarpon
Springs
Elementary
School,
Officer
Robert
gladly
he's
going
to
be
it
he's
new
to
the
unit.
Also
he'll
be
out
at
Tarpon
Springs
fundamental
school.
Next
up
we
got
up
there,
Officer
Mike
Trinidad,
he's
a
nuestro
being
assigned
out
at
the
high
school
and
the
big
guy.
Getting
up.
It's
gonna.
Take
him
a
while
officer,
Thiele
he's
a
veteran
out
at
the
high
school
and
then
down
at
the
end.
L
M
A
A
And
major
young,
thank
you
for
introducing
the
Soraa
team
to
the
people
of
Tarpon
Springs.
We
are
very
glad
a
very
proud
to
have
this
awesome
team
and
I
tell
you.
This
is
a
great
program
that
we
have
and
it's
a
great
partnership
that
we
have
between
the
Pinellas,
County,
School
District
and
us
the
Harper
Springs
Police
Department,
and
providing
the
safe
and
an
excellent
environment
learning
environment
to
our
students.
A
As
you
mentioned
that
the
SRO
program
is
something
that
was
started
way
before
was
made
dated
by
the
state,
so
something
that
we
should
be
proud
of
with
the
other
leaders
and
I
like
to
recognize
the
person
who
started
all
these
at
that
time
was
chiefly
curse
and
now
city
manager
LeClair's.
Thank
you.
A
F
A
C
Mary
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
for
the
five
schools
that
are
here
in
Tarpon
Springs
growing
up
in
the
area.
It's
great
to
see
that
tarpon
springs
as
a
presence
with
their
police
force
there
to
protect
the
students
that
are
there.
It's
very
important,
I
think
to
all
of
us
here
on
the
board
and
all
of
us
as
a
residents
throughout
the
city
too.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
service
and
dedication
and
protecting
all
the
students
and
faculty.
J
Yes,
thank
you
I'm
each
one
of
you,
I
couldn't
do
your
job
at
all,
not
only
being
a
it
being
a
police
officer,
but
also
working
in
schools.
That's
very
difficult
and
I'm
very
happy
that
on
this
commission
learns
them
full
support
and,
unlike
a
lot
of
communities
we
Lele
we
did.
We
did
not
skimp
and
just
but
you
know,
you
know
unsworn
armed
guards
in
there
we
will
be
chose
the
best.
The
brightest
I
think
that
are
are
ours.
Will
a
will
stand?
J
G
Yeah
one
thing
that
wasn't
mention
and
I
like
to
mention
it
is
that
we
have
a
local
world.
We
have
a
local
police
force
and,
as
SRO
is
in
a
local
police
force,
their
impact
is
beyond
the
school
because
they
those
youths
youths
that
are
in
school.
They
see
the
same
officers
out
in
the
community,
and
so
that's
that's
to
me.
That's
just
as
important
as
being
an
SRO
is
that
they
are
seeing
these
police
officers
out
in
the
community,
so
it
goes
beyond
just
to
school.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
H
At
this
point,
what
I
would
like
to
say
to
you
is:
you
will
be
facing
many
different
types
of
challenges:
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
kids,
those
I
know.
I
know
Bob
does,
but
in
dealing
with
kids,
you're
gonna
run
into
a
lot
of
different
situations.
Maybe
you
haven't
necessarily
been
trained
for
so
what
I'm
gonna
ask
is:
may
God
bless
you?
H
May
he
give
you
strength,
wisdom,
common
sense,
perseverance,
open
eyes,
open
ears,
because
you
are
going
to
be
a
connection
between
some
of
these
kids
and
potentially,
some
of
them
having
issues
that
need
help
beyond
the
school
shootings
or
or
any
of
these
violent
threats
that
we
may
have
so
I.
Ask
that
God
look
out
for
you
and
that
you
look
out
for
them.
Thank
you.
A
N
Thank
you
good
evening.
I'm
Bob,
Robertson
project
administration,
department,
director
and,
as
the
mayor
says,
I'm
here
tonight,
to
give
you
a
brief
update
on
the
anklet
River
dredge
project.
This
update
will
be
based
on
the
memorandum
that
was
uploaded
to
the
website
last
week
and
was
provided
in
your
backup,
so
the
project
work
continues
by
the
United
States
Army
Corps
of
Engineers.
As
you
know,
this
project
falls
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Army
Corps
and
is
being
monitored
by
the
city
staff
me
and
Karen.
N
The
project
is
currently
in
a
design
and
permitting
face,
and
it's
progressing
at
a
pretty
good
pace
on
I
should
say
now.
As
we
know,
the
state
of
Florida
is
approved
up
to
six
hundred
seventy
six
thousand
dollars
for
securing
a
property
and
for
the
construction
of
a
storage
and
dewatering
system
on
that
property
for
the
sediments,
also
known
as
the
spoils
that
will
be
dredged
from
the
river.
This
upland
site
is
currently
the
project's
target
location
for
sediment,
storage
and
dewatering.
N
But
having
said
that,
the
Army
Corps
continues
to
work
with
Pasco
County,
as
they
explore
the
possibility
of
using
sediments
from
this
dredge
for
a
beach
renourishment
at
the
anklet
River
Park.
That's
the
one
on
the
north
side
of
the
river,
the
feasibility.
This
option
hasn't
been
fully
vetted,
but
they're
they're.
Looking
into
that
now,
it
could
be,
could
wind
up
being
a
combination
of
the
upland
site
that
we
have
set
aside
now
and
beach
nourishment,
depending
on
the
capacity
of
the
beach.
N
Regarding
funding,
as
we
know,
the
United
States
Congress
has
made
funding
available
to
the
Army
Corps
for
this
project
the
amount
of
funding
is
3.5
million
dollars.
According
to
the
Army
Corps
of
note
is
that
recently,
the
US
Coast
Guard
agreed
with
the
US
Army
cores
recommendation
to
relocate
the
outer
reaches
of
the
federal
channel
in
the
vicinity
of
the
ankle
key
to
deeper
orders.
N
And
why
that's
significant
is
it
means
that
there's
less
dredge
that's
going
to
be
required
by
moving
the
channel
in
that
part
of
the
and
that
section
to
deeper
waters
to
avoid
the
shout
the
shoaling
there.
So
as
such,
the
3.5
million
dollars
that
the
Congress
has
appropriated
is
expected
to
be
enough
funding
to
complete
the
dredge
of
the
anklet
River
to
the
expected
and
restorative
depths.
That
would
be
to
a
nine-foot
minimum
and
as
deep
as
11
feet,
not
just
simply
pre-hurricane
depth.
N
So
this
we're
in
a
good
position
here
regarding
schedule,
as
it
now
appears
that
the
Army
Corps
could
finalize
design
in
this
calendar
year
or
into
early
next
year
and
hopefully
start
the
construction
bid
process
soon
thereafter.
So
we're
doing
really
good
on
the
schedule
right
now
and,
as
always,
I
continue
to
monitor
the
project
and
remain
involved
and
available
to
assist
the
Army
Corps
during
design
construction
and
any
coordination
they
need
with
the
city.
So
there's
a
brief
update
and
I'm
here
for
questions.
A
Survivors,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Thank
you
for
the
outstanding
work
that
you
do
and
for
that
I
got
a
couple.
Questions
that
I'd
like
to
ask
you.
The
FDEP
will
be
managing
the
the
grant
on
behalf
of
the
state
which
you
became
available
in
July
last
month.
That's
correct!
2018!
Do
we
know
when
the
funds
will
be
transferred,
so
we
can
pay
this
ball
tight,
I!
Don't.
N
N
Have
an
estimate
yet
on
the
dredge
schedule,
but
it's
not
a
very
long
process,
relatively
speaking,
I
think
the
last
estimate
I
saw
would
be
six
months
to
do.
The
actual
dredge
takes
more
time
to
get
design
and
permitting
done
than
actually
to
do
the
work,
but
when
I
have
that,
of
course
we'll
provide
that
information
to
the
board
and
my
updates
to
the
public.
Thank.
A
J
That
we
have
our
federal
funding
now
I
remember
when
this
was
started,
I
think
it's
back
in
2014
or
whatever,
where
they
were.
They
were.
They
were
citizens
and
I,
never
thought
that
would
get
funding
this
this
quickly
on
all
the
various
levels
and
I
do
like
how
everything
from
the
county
to
that
the
federal
government
is
playing
their
proper
role.
O
J
Just
appreciate
all
that
you've
done
to
commit
to
help
make
this
happen
and
but
mark
I
think
we
at
least
need
updates
every
60
days
on
this.
Just
because
we're
it's
not.
Actually,
though,
it's
not
actually
going
going
and
going
going
to
happen,
I
think
as
when,
when
when
we
approach
the
time
of
the
dredge
itself,
we'll
need
to
reach
out
I,
don't
have
something
with
the
merchants
and
property
owners
down
there
to
let
them
know
what's
gonna
happen
in
any,
you
know
any
interruptions
or
what-have-you.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
F
Bob
for
the
update
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
that
was
involved
in
this
project
and
I'm
glad
it's
finally
coming
to
fruition
and
I'm
anxious
for
that.
You
know
from
the
beginning:
I've
asked
about
the
sediment
and
what's
going
to
happen
to
it,
and
can
we
use
it
on
our
beaches
and
I
see
that
you're
working
with
Pasco
County
and
clove
Park?
If
we
looked
at
using
Sunset,
Beach
or
yeah.
N
In
fact,
they've
considered
all
three
of
those
sunset
and
Howard
Park,
as
well
as
the
anklet
River
Park.
The
ankle
river
park
has
some
obvious
advantages
being
right
on
the
river
and
having
not
having
to
pump
it
over
to
or
truck
yet
or
haul
it
or
you
know
barge
it
over
to
or
sunset,
but
it
is
one
of
the
three
sunset
is
one
of
the
three
okay.
C
Thanks
Mary
Bob,
that's
got
a
couple
questions
for
you
again,
I
want
to
reiterate
what
everyone
else
said
on
the
boards
is
great
news.
Thank
you
for
the
update
it's
exciting
to
see
that
the
federal
government
came
through
for
tarpon
springs
and
really
sees
an
importance
of
having
this
river
dredged
and
funding.
It
isn't
a
lot
of
this
silt.
So
are
you
familiar
like?
What's
actually
gonna
come
out
of
the
river?
Can
it
be
used
on
the
beach
even
yeah,.
N
In
fact,
some
initial
work
by
the
Army
Corps
did
some
geotechnical
testing
and
they
did
the
silt
density
checking
and
the
silt
content
was
very
low,
so
they
were
able
to
recommend
that
possibility.
We
weren't,
assuming
that
early
on
yeah
I
mean
when
we.
When
we
looked
at
the
sites,
we
were
assuming
that
we
were
going
to
have
to
store
and
treat
the
water
100
percent
of
the
sediment.
So
it
was
really
good
news
to
see
that
the
quality
was
was
such
good
good
level.
C
That's
good
news:
I've
got
a
quick
question
about
the
3.5
million
that
was
awarded
to
the
city
when
we
go
to
bed,
and
maybe
we
sit
down
have
a
further
conversation
about
this.
All
the
companies
know
that
it's
3.5
billion
or
3.5
million
dollars
has
been
awarded.
So
are
all
the
bids
gonna
come
in
at
3.5
million
dollars
already
we
look
at
additional
space
that
they
could
dredge
or
certain
depths.
They
can
dredge
the
per
cubic
foot
that
we
look
at
the
cost
wise.
Or
can
you
just
give
a
quick
well.
N
Sure,
just
just
a
reminder
that
that
3.5
million
is
federal
money
to
a
federal
agency
for
a
federal
project.
So
we
don't
really
get
involved
with
the
procurement.
But
I
understand
your
question
and
the
intent
of
what
you're
asking
you
know,
I
think
when
a
when
a
company
is
bidding
on
a
project,
they
have
every
right
to
ask
what
the
budget
is.
That's
part
of
a
public
record
anyway,
right.

C
C
P
P
It's
sitting
there
and
years
ago,
when
we
would
tear
up
the
ground
that
the
city
would
take
it
and
we
used
it
out
at
the
cemetery
and
around
town
and
it's
still
sitting
there
it's
expensive
and
you
can't
get
it
anymore
like
that.
So
what
are
we
doing
with
the
granite?
That's
been
taken
out
mr.
city
manager.
C
A
N
Regarding
the
granite
curbing
she's,
talking
about
the
old
granite,
curbing
that's
taken
up,
we
we
collect
it
and
we
do
store
it
and
we
do
keep
it
and
reuse
it
where
we
can
what's
under
Tom
puncheon's
control.
He
keeps
it
over
at
the
yard
waste.
So
there
may
be
some
stockpiled
over
at
the
project
site,
but
it
doesn't
need
to
get
removed
by
the
contractor
and
bring
it
over
to
our
stores.
Okay,.
O
D
A
C
D
C
So
I
brought
it
up
earlier
pertaining
to
advertising
for
the
city,
something
that
it's
not
business
specific.
I
see
the
trolleys
all
the
time
going
up
and
down
the
roads
and
there's
a
lot
of
open
advertising
space
on
there.
As
a
city
I
think
we
should
look
at
something
along
the
lines
of
doing
something
for
downtown
visit.
C
Tarpon
springs
is
the
sponge
dog
visit
Sunset
Beach
I'm,
not
really
sure
what
it
is
to
add
it
into
this
agreement
that
we
have
before
us
and
not
just
approve
the
funding
I'm
completely
in
support
of
the
trolley
system.
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
like
I
mentioned
earlier.
If
you
all
aren't
interested
in
adding
this
as
part
of
the
agreement,
maybe
we
could
look
at
the
next
step
is
if
there's
open
signage
available
to
where
nobody
is
willing
to
pay
for
advertising,
then
maybe
the
city
of
tarpon
should
automatically
slot
in
there.
C
So
there's
two
options:
I
think
we
could
look
at
is
requiring
advertising
to
be
on
the
trolley
or
second,
if
there's
not
someone
willing
to
pay
for
advertising.
There's
open
slots
then
have
the
city
of
tarpon
springs
slot
in
one
of
those
slots,
so
I'm
not
sure
what
anybody
else's
thoughts
are
about,
that
we
are
paying
a
significant
amount
of
money
for
the
trolley
service,
which
is
a
benefit
I,
think
overall
to
the
town,
but
I
think
we're
still
missing
out
and
often
an
opportunity
here.
F
What
you're
saying,
but
we're
not
the
only
city
in
partnership,
and
so
if
we
did
that,
probably
they'd
have
to
open
it
up
to
all
cities
and
as
vice-mayor
banter
said,
it's
it's
a
losing
proposition
with
PSTA.
So
you
know
I
understand
that
the
Merchants
Association
would
love
free,
free
marketing,
but
I.
Don't
know
that
that's
feasible
because
they
would
have
to
be
done
with
with
the
other
cities
that
are
in
partnership
as
well.
Then.
C
F
J
C
Know
I
mean
I,
don't
know
if
any
other
cities
bringing
this
up
or
not
if
Tarpons,
the
only
one
bringing
it
up
and
tarpon
should
be
the
one
that
should
at
least
get
the
first
cut
at
it.
But
then,
if
we
want
to
talk
about
the
other
city
as
clearwater,
Dunedin,
etc,
then
we
work
out
within
the
agreement.
Also,
let's
say
you
have
a
rotating.
C
We
call
it
rotating.
When
there's
an
open
spot,
then
the
one
city
falls
in
when
the
next
open
spot
is
the
next
city,
tarpon
city,
dunedin,
city,
clear
water.
My
interest
is
at
city,
tarpon
I.
Don't
my
interest?
Isn't
the
city
Clearwater
Dunedin
but
I
understand
we're
in
this
together?
So
if
you
feel
that
don't
have
any
better
to
include
all
of
them,
I
think
that's.
A
discussion
is
still
to
be
had
yeah.
M
Don't
see
time
that
we've
had
this
contract
in
there
for
a
long
time
we've
negotiated
with
partners
and
to
now
put
this
clause
in
this
one
I
don't
see
this
feasible
now
to
open
up
discussion
to
see.
If
there's
there's
something
to
do
advertising
and
stuff,
you
saw
the
figure
you
saw
it
I.
Just
don't
see
this
at
the
time
with
this
contract
to
to
put
it
in
I'm,
not
this
assisted
or
that
you
know,
they're
gonna
greet
her
as
that
son.
That
needs
to
be
worked
with
and
negotiate
with
it.
J
A
Q
C
Just
mark
a
1
that
comment
about
something,
and
it
really
upsets
me
to
be
honest
with
you
when
you
say
this:
isn't
the
time
to
talk
about
it
and
we've
already
negotiated
the
contract.
Why
is
it
coming
before
us
when
we
can't
make
any
changes
at
this
time?
So
to
me
as
a
commissioner,
that's
frustrating.
M
C
I
don't
want
to
be
just
a
stamped
person
there
that
comes
up
and
say
stamp
and
let's
send
it
through
I
respect
your
position
and
your
hard
work
that
you
do
for
the
city
and
what
the
city
attorney
does
for
the
city,
but
at
the
same
time,
if
there's
an
opportunity
to
I
think
extend
the
taxpayers,
money
and
I.
Think
I
brought
up
a
couple
good
points,
even
if
the
city,
the
onions
on
there
there's
open
spots
with
nobody
advertising
at
all,
it's
just
blank
space.
So.
J
I
M
What
I
was
saying
before,
obviously,
as
you
know,
we
got
a
partner
Dunedin
who
is
paying
for
it,
but
that's
where
I
think
the
problem
is
of
negotiating.
Obviously,
if
you
want
to
tell
the
trolly
this
agreement
goes
if
they
give
us
a
free
advertised,
but
you
got
the
perfect
right
to
do
it.
I'm
just
saying
now:
you've
got
a
city
that
they're
gonna
have
to
go
back
with
and
deal
with.
The
pays
for
advertising,
so
I'm
not
saying
do.
M
R
R
That's
not
done,
and
it's
not
going
through
that
funding
agreement
either.
No,
it
is
not
okay,
so
I'm,
just
thinking
legally,
commissioner,
that
I'm
trying
to
determine
how
we
would
contractually
obligated
to
do
something
through
the
funding
agreement
with
PSTA,
which
is
kind
of
a
different,
it's
kind
of
one
level
of
attenuation.
R
C
I'm
not
asking
like
for
the
world
on
this:
it's
if
there's
open
advertising
spots,
I'm
just
saying
I
think
it
should
be
representative
of
the
people
supporting
the
trolley
or
something
along
those
lines.
I
would
Second
Vice
mayor's
motion
to
the
furthest
to
another
meeting,
so
we
could
have
some
further
discussions
about
some
possibilities.
J
This
is
not
my
Hill
to
die.
I
am
fine
with
this
agreement
as
I'm
not
supported,
as
is,
but
you
know,
if
I
have
a
colleague,
you
feel
strongly
enough
that
there's
changes
that
have
to
be
made
and
we
can
defer
it
without
harm
I
I,
don't
see
any
harm
in
deferring
it
to
know.
I
would
want
to
know
later
than
then,
but
then
the
inexperienced
I
wouldn't
mend.
My
emotions
have
a
deferred
to
the
next
meeting,
which
is
but
the
21st
be
21st
and
and
in
between
that
time.
J
A
F
S
Good
evening,
Bob
Clifford

manatee
circle
tarpon
springs
I'm
a
resident
here,
as
well
as
chairman
of
the
board
of
the
Jolly
Charlie,
that
the
advertising
is
controlled
by
the
Jolly
trolley.
We
are
more
than
happy
to
meet
with
you
all
I
have
a
discussion
about
how
that
works.
Please
keep
in
mind
that
we
do
have
other
entities
that
pay
significant
amount
of
money
to
advertise
on
the
side
of
those,
so
it
becomes
extremely
difficult
to
be
able
to
give
anything
away.
It
wouldn't
be
fair
to
them
and
I.
S
Don't
think
in
your
businesses
that
you
would
accommodate
that
that
type
of
thing,
but
that
being
said
more
than
happy
to
sit
down
with
the
city
with
city
manager,
mr.
Carver
happy
to
come
in
and
meet
with
you
and
explain
how
the
trolley
works
and
what
the
what
the
system
is
and
what
opportunities
may
be
there
to
be
able
to
accommodate
the
requests
that
you
have.
Thank
you.

remember
the

we're
going

separately.

Thank.
A
R
A
J
J
U
R
K
Q
Officer
for
representing
Florida
Hospital,
North
Pinellas,
so
thank
you
for
letting
me
clarify.
Herrmann
the
lease
under
Section
7.1
of
the
lease
executed
in
2000.
There
is
no
ability
for
the
hospital
to
transfer
our
assign
the
lease
without
the
permission
and
written
approval
of
the
city
commissioners
and
upon
referendum
of
the
voters
of
the
city.
J
R
That
was
subject
of
the
negotiation
that
we
had
this
last
round
as
previously
written
the
hospital
from
from
a
financing
standpoint
needed
to
operate
as
kind
of
a
self-contained
entity.
If
you
will
was
not
allowed
to
seek
outside
financing,
now
bear
in
mind
that
the
hospital
is
now
a
part
of
a
larger,
a
larger
medical
and
hospital
group,
and
in
order
to
leverage
that
the
proposed
amendment
seeks
to
permit
that.
R
Bear
in
mind,
however,
that,
after
after
a
couple
months
of
negotiation
between
city
manager,
myself
and
the
hospital's
team,
the
city
will
enjoy
the
benefits
of
a
guarantee
in
the
event
that
that
financing
becomes
problematic
for
the
city,
which
certainly
we've
been
assured,
that
that
will
not
be
an
issue.
But
even
if
it
is,
the
city
has
adequate
legal
protections
in
place
worth
under.
The
proposed
amendment.
The
city
in
my
in
my
judgment
is,
has
no
more
exposure
to
to
an
inability
to
pay
rent
than
it
did
before.
J
R
U
J
I've
been
leaving
the
building
empty.
Obviously
we
have
their
money,
but
I
mean
leave
the
building
after
they
paid
for
it.
Is
there
any
provision
there
at
all
or
if
they
vacate
the
premises
after
so
long?
Obviously
they
so
they
just
leave
the
property.
What
are
what
are
the
terms
in
the
lease
that
allow.
R
R
Control
and
we
under
Section
eight
point
two:
we
we
get
a
hospital.
Essentially
the
only
made
some
provisions
in
here
for
the
license
to
operate
the
hospital,
but
again
I,
think
the
question
of
whether
the
city
is
legally
authorized
to
itself
operate
the
hospital
without
the
appropriate
qualifications.
Licensure
would
be
at
issue
anyway.
R
So,
yes,
we
would
have
everything
that
exists
on
the
experiments
and
again
that
language
hasn't
changed
is
that
that
is
not
new
to
this
proposed
amendment
that
existed
before
when
we
negotiated
this,
there
were
some
there
were.
Some
negotiations
concerning
the
city's
refund
to
to
the
hospital
for
the
cost
of
capital
expenditures
and
the
like,
and
that
was
negotiated
out,
was
not
something
not
to
change
that.
We
were
comfortable
with
from
this
end,
and
so
the
language
is
functionally
unchanged
in
that
regard.
A
F
Thank
you
yeah
vice
mayor
banther,
some
of
the
questions
that
you
had
were
the
same
ones.
I
had
and
they've
been
answered
with
getting
mr.
Boddy
kosis
letter.
Today.
It
was
kind
of
hectic
to
try
to
go
through
all
this,
but
my
concern
was
that
well,
first
of
all,
I
think
with
the
upfront
money.
If
invested,
it
should
be.
Even
conservative
conservatively
will
will
yield
enough
money
for
the
payments
for
the
future
lease
and,
and
the
other
thing
I
was
questioning-
is
we're
not
giving
up
any
ownership
with
this
agreements?
Correct.
R
C
G
Mike,
who
scoot
is
six
to
three
East
harpin
Avenue.
As
everybody
knows,
I'm
vice-chairman
of
the
board
of
the
hospital
also
sit
on
the
foundation.
I'm
not
gonna,
go
and
relive
the
history
of
the
hospital
work
where,
where
it
was
where
it
is
or
where
it's
going,
but
suffice
it
to
say
that,
to
the
extent
that
this
is
a
successful
referendum,
you're
looking
at
about
a
over
thirty
billion
dollar
improvement
to
a
city
owned
asset.
G
So
you
know
you
know,
citizens
who
are
listening
or
watching
to
keep
that
in
mind
with
regard
to
you
know
an
asset,
that's
owned
by
the
city.
That,
quite
frankly,
has
some
a
lot
of
issues
with
regard
to
the
structure
of
the
building
and
the
improvements
that
need
to
be
made,
and
you
know,
I
could
tell
you
because
I
sit
on
the
board-
is
you're
not
you're,
looking
at
in
excess
of
a
30
million
dollar
improvement
to
the
to
a
hospital
of
a
city-owned
asset.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind.
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
V
Costa
vatikiotis
538,
West,
Cedar,
Street,
tarpon,
springs,
I
didn't
follow
all
the
conversation,
because
I
forgot
to
put
my
hearing
it's
in
this
evening,
so
I
apologize
for
that.
But
I
do
want
to
be
constructive
this
evening
as
well.
So
I
have
a
few
things
to
do.
I
have
a
lot
of
history
with
the
hospital,
as
you
well
know,
our
city
manager,
when
we
wound
up
going
into
a
declaratory
judgment
against
the
foundation-
and
we
won
that
and
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
we
went
into
that
was
basically
clarity.
V
You
know
the
the
hospital
is
basically
one
of
the
two
largest
assets
we
have
besides
the
golf
course.
So
it's
from
my
perspective,
it's
it
needs
to
be
steel
plated
in
terms
of
protection.
I
don't
have
an
issue
with
uch
uch
was
the
runner-up
to
the
Columbia
HCA
back
in
the
1990's
and
I.
Don't
have
an
issue
with
Florida
Hospital
Florida
Hospital
was
a
contender
back
in
the
1990s
I
think
they're
great
I'm,
glad
they're
not
for
profit
and
I'm.
Glad
they're
here
and
I
think
we're
fortunate
to
to
have
them.
V
I
don't
have
an
issue
with
the
lease
extension
and
I.
Don't
even
have
an
issue
with
a
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
between
twenty
forty
and
twenty
seventy,
as
long
as
you're
aware
that
that's
what
you're
getting
personally
I'm,
not
for
any
lease
payment
from
the
hospital
I'd
prefer
that
money
to
go
back
into
healthcare
for
the
community.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
clear
on
that
and
but
I
do
have
an
issue.
V
We
that
money
being
taken
away
from
future
Commission's
I
I
particularly
have
a
hard
time
accepting
that
the
I
saw
a
text
message
that
mr.
de
ganar
had
sent
to
some
people
about
stating
that
I
was
wrong
as
far
as
the
ownership
I
want
to
make
sure
you
understand
that
I
stand
100%
behind
the
text.
Message
that
I
sent
today
and
I
want
to
connect
the
dots
for
you.
V
The
city
charter
is
very
clear:
article
10
article
10
of
the
tarpon
springs
hospital
foundation.
Articles
incorporation
states
that,
upon
its
dissolution,
all
all
of
the
tarpon
springs.
Hospitals,
foundations,
assets,
tangible
and
intangible,
shall,
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
circuit
court,
a
Pinellas
County
floor
to
be
distributed
to
the
city
of
tarpon
springs.
That
includes
the
emergency
room
in
Palm
Harbor.
If
it's
owned
by
the
tarpon
springs
hospital
foundation,
that
is
in
the
hospital
foundations
charter.
That's
point
number
one.
V
If
we
now
go
to
the
lease
amendment
as
it's
being
presented
to
you
tonight,
section
six
leased,
premises
and
Hospital
founded
facilities,
it's
basically
a
definition
of
what
those
are.
It
basically
states
that
it's
the
land
and
the
acute
hospital
facilities
that
are
on
that
land,
but
the
important
part
is
what's
not
part
of
that
lease
premises
and
Hospital
Foundation's.
V
Accordingly,
the
term
leased
premises,
hospital
found
facilities
and
additional
facilities,
as
defined
in
Section
2.1
of
the
lease
and
used
in
the
least
shall
not
include,
shall
not
include
any
land
or
improvements
own
now
and
hereafter
in
fee
simple
by
the
foundation.
That's
completely
contrary
to
not
only
the
city
charter,
the
hospital
foundations,
own
charter.
V
Nine
on
the
reversion,
it
said
that
the
hospital
facilities
as
a
going
concern
with
the
city
in
the
foundation
taking
such
actions
as
are
legal
and
appropriate
to
effect
transfer
of
licenses,
permits
employees
and
all
other
attributes
of
ownership
operation
of
the
hospital
facilities,
as
defined
in
Section
six,
which
doesn't
include
the
things
that
I
mentioned.
It
doesn't
include
in
Section.
Six
again,
that's
contrary
to
the
city
charter
and
the
hospital
foundation's
own
articles
of
Incorporation.
V
That's
how
we
got
into
a
lawsuit
in
1995
I
suggest
you
get
somebody
a
hospital
attorney,
somebody
to
take
a
look
and
scrub.
This
least
before
you
go
forward.
I,
don't
think
you
understand
what
you're
getting
into
and
I
would
really
be
cautious
of
section
11.
No
other
Hospital
I've,
seen
that
before
in
1995
and
it's
being
played
again
today,
I
can't
blame
any
of
the
Hospital
Foundation
or
Florida
Hospital
or
uch
they're
in
business.
V
O
Just
for
the
historical
record,
I
was
chairman
of
the
health
facilities
authority.
It
was
in
charge
of
30
million
dollars
with
the
bonds
for
the
hospital
and
we
successfully
paid
those
bonds
off
at
no
loss
to
the
to
the
bond
holders.
I
was
I've
also
said
on
the
Hospital
Foundation
board
for
nine
years
in
the
past
and
I
I
have
some
questions
I'd
like
to
ask
mr.
daga
note:
are
you
do
you
have
a
practice
that
do
you
do
healthcare
in
your
general
practice?
O
M
O
O
O
If
my
meth,
if
my
math,
is
correct,
that's
like
a
40%
escalator
over
the
term
of
the
lease,
maybe
a
little
little
higher.
Is
that
correct
come
on
you
guys,
you
guys
are
fast,
you're
young.
In
any
case,
the
the
lease
started.
The
lease
started
at
250,000
dollars
a
year
with
a
10%
escalator
in
year,
5
which
took
it
to
275.
If
my
math
is
right
at
the
year
2040
the
the
that
year,
the
lease
would
be
bringing
in
450
thousand
dollars
in
this
proposed
amendment.
O
You're
you're
capping
at
2018
at
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
year
and
as
mr.
vadik
Yoda's
pointed
out,
the
extended
term
of
the
lease
from
2040
to
27
t
is
for
3
million
dollars.
So
that's
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
versus
three
hundred
thousand
or
450
thousand
so
you're
you're
you're,
giving
us
you're
givin
us
a
30
year
extension
to
the
lease
for
three
million
dollars
prepaid
future
Commission's
will
not
have
those
revenue
streams,
so
it
at
even
the
$300,000
a
year
for
30
years
is
nine
million
dollars.
O
Why
are
you
giving
a
six
million
dollar
discount
down
down
the
road
for
I
mean
I?
Have
you
guys
thought
about
this?
Can
you
tell
me
why
you're
giving
these
huge
discounts
I
mean
four
hundred
you
you're
given
$150,000
a
year
discount
over
a
period
of
twenty
years
or
so,
but
I
just
I
I
think
that
you
should
defer
this
I
think
you
should
hire
a
law
firm,
that
specializes
in
health
care
law
to
guide
you.
O
Some
of
this
language
is
so
complex
and
it's
it's
a
striking
out
language
and
replacing
language,
but
you
don't
have
a
red
line
and
strike
out
document
that
I've
seen
and
you
don't
have
the
leases
next
to
each
other,
to
compare
I,
don't
think
you're
doing
the
citizens
of
this
community
is
a
service
in
fact,
you're
doing
them
a
disservice
it
the
way
this
is
being
negotiated.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
A
G
Know
as
part
of
that,
consideration
and
I
understand
mr.
tear
pani,
but
you
also
have
to
factor
in
the
value
of
those
approvement
that
are
being
made
to
city
on
property
number.
One
I
too,
have
been
involved
in
this
hospital
for
a
20-year
long,
20
year
period
so
and
I've
seen
the
improvements
and
I've
seen
with
a
commitment
that
Florida
hospital
is
made,
so
you
can't
discount
all
the
prior
improvements.
Also,
the
future
improvements
of
having
that
facility
being
top-notch
are
going
to
be
are
gonna.
Have
the
other
question?
G
Is
you
know
you
brought
up
with
with
regard
to
negotiating
a
lease?
You
know
I'm
a
lawyer
and
there's
when
I
look
at
Ali,
so
I
don't
look
at
it
to
the
type
of
business
I'm.
It's
a
real
estate
deal
it's
a
landlord-tenant
situation
as
a
landlord.
You
make
your
best
deal
as
a
tenant.
You
you
also
try
to
make
your
best
deal.
That's
all
this
is,
is
a
real
estate
lease
or
the
city's,
not
in
the
business
of
running
a
hospital.
The
hospital
is
in
the
business
of
running
a
hospital.
G
So
when
you
negotiate
a
lease
part
of
the
issues
of
the
old
lease,
quite
frankly,
were
that
the
city
was
kind
of
dictating
how
hospital
should
be
run
and
that's
not
the
city's
purview
to
dictate
or
involve
itself
in
the
management
of
hospital
operations.
That's
one
of
the
issues
that
were
as
critical
or
issue
in
the
older
older
lease.
What
the
lease
that
is
being
created
or
is
proposed
is
a
landlord
tenant
situation.
Let
the
hospital
be
the
hospital,
let
the
landlord
let
the
city
be
the
landlord.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
J
We
have
a
qualified
tenant,
who
has
proven
to
be
the
right
to
be
a
very
good
tenant,
who's
willing
to
pay
up
front
rent
and
also
to
keep
in
mind
that
her
for
the
last
referendum,
the
up
to
the
current
lease,
the
the
beat
payments
are
frozen
so
negotiating
from
the
end
of
the
current
leads
to
over
over
to
2070
we're
gonna
bring
rent
paid
in
advance
with
no
possibility
of
refund.
There
was
a
possibility.
Very
fun.
J
You
know,
though,
though,
though,
though,
from
this
lease,
but
as
my
degree
in
it
it
in
though,
and
though
and
economics
teaches
me,
the
the
positive
value
of
money
is
worth
more
now
than
than
in
the
future,
so
I
personally
uncomfortable
with
collecting
that
without
rent
upfront
and
for
our
investment
policy
I
know
it's
not
a
whole
lot,
but
it's
something
getting
a
gain
off
that
each
year.
So
that's
that's
where
my
comfort
level
is
as
far
as
the
income
side
goes
and
then
in
that
and
that's
a
very
valid
question
atmosphere
penny
raised.
J
Also,
we
have
a
tenant,
that's
willing
to
do
ten
improvements
to
a
city-owned
property
that
are
varied.
That
are
very
significant.
That
as
well
plays
into
my
judgment
in
this.
So
you
know,
I
think
it's
a
win-win
for
the
city
and
and
as
far
as
you
know,
our
our
council,
not
being
a
health
care
attorney.
I,
understand
that
and
I'm
always
and
I
said
from
day
one
that
I
depend
upon
everyone
in
and
and
and
others
community
friends,
but
and
and
for
advice,
I,
don't
think
any
one
person
on
this
board
is.
J
It
is
a
complete
expert
and
I
have
you
know
called
upon
many
in
this
room
before
for
help.
You
know,
but
it's
a
lot
easier
to
have
the
engagement
from
the
beginning.
Then
then
tonight
last
minute,
isn't
it,
but
this
in
a
hard
spot
where
you
know
do
be
to
do
we
do
we
do
we
go
with
public
comment
or
with
our
staff?
That's
a
hard
place
to
be
in
at
least
for
me.
J
J
Ultimately
we'll
let
the
voters
decide
this,
but
in
my
opinion,
I
think
what
we've
learned
tonight.
Little
ends
enough
for
my
support,
but
I
just
want
to
stress
my
gratitude
to
mr.
vadik
notice
and
a
mr.
Tarrant
panty
for
tonight,
with
their
concerns
acknowledge
their
tenure
in
this
community
with
the
hospital
thing.
Thank.
A
You
I
also
like
to
thank
mr.
Vickers
and
the
tariffs
and
for
their
input
and
always
value
their
opinions
and
their
recommendations.
They
always
been
good
advisors
to
me.
I
believe
this
lease
agreement.
It's
going
to
help
it's
going
to
give
the
opportunity
to
the
hospital
to
do
many
provements.
If
you'll
remember
last
year,
the
hospital
had
to
be
evacuated
because
was
not
strong
enough
to
be
during
the
hurricane.
So
with
that.
Q
A
F
Thank
thank
you
for
your
comments.
I
agree
with
vice
mayor
and
the
mayor
and
the
point
that
mr.
kusuda
is
made.
This
is
a
lease
agreement
and
I.
Don't
think
that
we
need
a
specific
attorney
to
negotiate
this
lease
as
long
as
they
have
experience
in
lease
agreements.
This
hospital
is
a
huge
asset
to
our
community.
I
appreciate
everything
that
they've
done
so
far,
and
the
money
that
they've
spent
and
I
think
the
three
million
dollars
up
front
is
going
to
help
both
of
us
and
we
need
a
hospital.
F
C
They
use
as
needed,
instead
of
maybe
just
on
a
big
project
here
in
the
next
year
or
so
so.
There's
a
lot
of
discussion.
There's
a
lot
of
questions
here.
I
do
think
our
city
attorney
address
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
were
brought
up
overall
and
there's.
Obviously
a
lot
of
passion
here
as
a
community
and
I,
don't
have
anything
else
to
say.
Thank
you.

we

because
it

Has

C
Got
a
quick
question:
there's
only
a
limited
amount
of
space
to
put
language
and
for
these
referendums.
Is
there
any
discussion
about
what
the
city
plans
to
do
with
the
funds
of
the
three
million
dollars?
Is
that
something
that
could
be
included
or
is
that
something
that
is
they're
not
in
the
frame
or
what's
I,
don't
well.
R
M
I
think
we
talked
about
before.
Probably
the
appropriate
thing
to
do
is
we're
coming
up
in
a
year-and-a-half
to
the
Charter,
the
appropriate
thing
and
to
put
that
restriction
to
do
what
you
want
to
do
would
be
for
an
item
for
the
Charter
Committee
and
go
to
go
to
that
for
a
chartered
designations
that
have
money
he'll
be
kept
in
interest
until
2042
do
so.
M
We
have
said
that
time
probably
appropriate
place
for
you
to
put
that
onto
the
thing
would
be
in
in
our
Charter
and
our
next
Charter
thing,
which
is
about
a
year
and
a
half
away.
We
do
every
five
years,
though,
that
would
be
the
location
where
you
ask
to
go
to
voters
put
that
in
your
charter.
Okay,.
M
On
the
website,
what's
been
at
the
meetings
and
if
people
watch
those
as
you
see,
if
you
invest
the
three
million
dollars
and
don't
spend
it
and
collect
three
percent
interest
you
to
collect
almost
six
million
dollars,
which
would
be
the
exact
amount
of
three
hundred
thousand,
not
one
hundred
thousand.
So
you
know
you
can
do
the
math
if
you
only
get
two
percent
what
to
get.
But
again
you
invest
that
money.
M
The
intention
and
the
chart
that
you
were
given
was
that
money
would
be
invested
and
by
the
time
the
three
hundred
thousand
payments
go
up.
You'd
have
the
option
of
either
a
lump
sum
of
about
six
million
dollars
to
do
something
with
or
depending
you
know
what
three
hundred
thousand
was
in
two
thousand
forty.
M
You
would
have
six
million
dollars
that
commission
would
have
the
option
to
have
six
million
dollars
to
maybe
maybe
at
that
time,
2040
there'd
be
some
major
projects
could
get
done
for
that,
and
you
wouldn't
worry
about
the
three
hundred,
but
you
certainly
would
have
the
opportunity
to
pay
for
most
of
the
years
for
two
thousand
seventy
with
the
principal
and
interest
that
you
have
for
money
and
again
that's.
Why
was
talked
in
the
Charter?
M
It's
not
similar
to
the
roads
and
sidewalk
or
you
have
the
money
in
and
we
do
the
roads
and
sidewalks
with
just
the
interest
and
we
don't
touch
the
principal,
so
that
would
be
the
equivalent
lowly.
Probably
you
know
you've
asked
the
to
the
next
charter
vote
put
in
the
charter
to
preserve
that
money,
so
you'd
have
that
there
for
that
commission
and
again
that
would
be
that
commission
in
2040.
You
decide
we
have
this
here.
You
want
to
dole
it
out
for
the
rent
300,000
month
or
use
it
or
whatever.

is

in

Cip
discussion,
mr.
licorice,
if
you
give
us
an
update,
we.
A
J
A
M
My
part,
this
is
going
to
be
pretty
short,
I
just
wanted
to
prepare
it.
What
the
purpose
is
tonight
is
to
give
you
an
update
from
when
we
had
the
last
work
session
of
some
updated
items
plus
I
wanted
to
you
some
items
in
advance.
As
you
know,
we
always
do
the
salary
and
the
ranges
and
reorganizations
we
usually
do
that
at
a
separately.
You
have
to
vote
on
it.
So
that's
going
to
be
coming
up
in
the
21st,
but
I
wanted
to
give
you
this
some
of
this
information
ahead
of
time.
M
M
I'll,
do
that
one
first,
that's
one
of
the
introductions
is
that,
as
you
know,
we
budgeted
we
budgeted
3.5
for
salaries,
but,
as
I
told
you
we're
gonna,
do
it
a
little
bit
different?
This
is
the
hopefully
close
to
last
year,
although
we
may
have
some
adjustments
again.
We've
had
to
go
over
the
past
three
four
or
five
budgets
of
getting
those
lower
salary.
People
up
you
know,
there's
all
this
talk
about.
You
know
a
livable
wage.
M
M
So,
as
you
see,
these
range
increases
again
I'll
talk
about
this
in
more
detail
if
needed.
When
it
comes
by
just
wanted
to
prepare,
you
see
how
the
layout
is
and
here's
the
layout
of
the
raises
for
employees
15
20
an
hour
and
below
we'll
get
6%
15
21
to
$16
5%
1601,
the
1774
%
1771
to
2250
3.5
and
all
employees
above
20,
2.51
cents
and
above
3%,
and
believe
it
or
not.
M
M
So
that
was
our
purpose
and
that
what
we've
been
able
to
accomplish-
and
we
have
Bill
accomplished
it
within
the
3.5
that
we
had
budgeted.
The
second
of
the
second
second
column
that
second
page,
that
he
has
up
here
some
wage
grade
adjustments.
This
is
just
trying
to
get
our
our
grades,
organize
them.
The
difference
of
this
great
thing
is
these
grades.
M
Don't
automatically
come
with
money
a
lot
of
times
as
a
rule,
they
come
with
my
book,
we're
just
trying
to
place
people
and
the
reason
we
need
to
do
this
because
we're
knocking
out
grade
four
and
five
and
starting
at
grade
six.
So
we
can
accomplish
that
$12
an
hour
thing,
so
we'll
talk
about
the
nineteenth
these
positions
that
are
moving
up.
All
these
on
this
page
are
moving
up.
It's
just
the
grade
change,
it's
not
money!
That
goes
the
grade.
That's
a
grade!
Change
again!
M
W
We
had
some
items
for
a
capital
that
was
unfunded
and
the
previously
when
we
talked
to
you,
but
we
now
have
funded
the
security
cameras.
We
don't
know
the
exact
cost,
so
we'd
put
to
be
determined
on
the
security
cameras,
signage
we've
budgeted
twenty
five
thousand
ten
and
room
modification
for
the
old
finance
file
room.
That's
going
to
turn
into
the
another
room
for
access
there,
microfilm
reader,
printer
scanner
for
City,
Clerk,
10,000,
additional
beautification,
40,000
extra
marketing.
W
If
marketing
position
has
not
added
35,000,
so
there's
250,000
air
that
we
have,
we
have
added
into
the
budget.
The
funding
is
from
multiple
funds
within
the
city
for
those
items
and
then
down
below
there's
other
budget
changes.
As
you
probably
our
workers
compensation
insurance.
We
had
budgeted
10%,
it
came
in
at
7
percent,
so
we
got
a
17,000
222
dollar
savings
on
that
property,
lion
liability
insurance,
we
budgeted
10%,
but
it
came
in
at
ten
point:
nine
percent,
so
a
little
bit
extra
cost
there
about
five
million.
M
Again,
what
I
use
is
say
every
year
about
the
budget.
The
budget
can
be
changing
any
time
just
because
we
passed
this
budget.
You
know
October
November
January,
where
comes
up,
if
there's
a
project
or
something
to
come
in,
and
we
gotta
adjust
money
again
we're
just
trying
to
set
the
course
for
coming
year,
but
the
budget
is
always
a
moving
item.
All
these
changes
you
see
here
still
leaves
us
with
a
balanced
budget
and
not
using
the
reserve.
M
I
will
tell
you
that
the
news
from
the
cities,
if
it
goes
it,
looks
like
from
the
millage
rates
that
remember.
We
always
talked
about
there's
five
cities
above
20,000
population
that
our
full-service
cities
and
we
started.
We
started
when
we
started
talking
about
this
as
third
right
in
the
middle
to
above
us
to
a
blow.
M
If
the
increase
is
run
from
the
cities
that
we
know
on
their
millage
increase,
especially
with
clear
water
going
up,
we
will
be
fifth,
we
will
be
the
lowest
millage
rate
of
those
five
it
when
this
passes
and
if
the
other
city
is
proceeded,
we've
already
went
to
four
again
clear
water
is
gonna,
have
to
catch
up.
You
know
they're,
always
below
us.
At
five
one,
nine
they're
gonna
have
to
bite
the
bullet
in
there
their
proposals
to
go
up
to
five,
nine
five.
M
So
again,
we're
hoping
to
come
out
of
this
process
with
a
balanced
budget,
not
use
the
reserves
getting
most
of
the
things
we
want
and
we
will
be
the
lowest
of
the
five
over
20,000
full-service
cities
in
Pinellas
County.
As
far
as
millage
rate.
For
those
who
say
we
have
such
odd
millage
rate
there,
it
is
full
service
city
and
we
will
be,
we
will
be
at
the
lowest
when,
when
this
results,
the
other
information
you've
got
and
I've
got
Karen
here.
M
But
obviously
this
is
I
dime
weekend
we're
going
to
discuss
a
lot
on
the
19th
when
we
talk
about
resource
I
want
to
give
you
the
information
on
one
reorganization,
there's
a
few
others
that
you'll
see
by
one
pretty
much
note
the
reorganization
of
cultural
and
civic
services
department,
because
that's
where
we're
adding
a
substantial
marketing
opponent
that
we
think
will
achieve
what
wanted
to
be
cheap
achieved
in
marketing
and
what
your
needs
and
what
you've
talked
about
marketing.
Then
what
will
be
here
to
explain
these
to
you,
but
in
essence
Karen.
M
If
you
just
come
up
real
fast
I
know,
she's
got
a
memo
before
you
look
at
what
I'm
going
to
encourage
after
this
meeting.
Is
everybody
get
with
karyn's
between
now
and
the
21st
for
our
meeting?
Where
we're
do
this
out,
everybody
get
with
her
to
go
in
detail
talk
about
these
things,
so
we
can
come
in
the
meeting
and
decide
what
we're
gonna
do.
Obviously,
I
said
we
have.
M
You
know
our
belief
is
that
we're
gonna
fully
be
able
to
do
everything
that
the
needs
and
wants
for
extra
marketing
with
this
plan
here
and
that
with
the
$35,000
we're
gonna
use.
Instead
of
putting
the
salary
for
a
part-time
or
full-time
person,
we
have
an
extra
thirty
five
thousand
to
actually
go
out
there
and
do
the
marketing
that
we
need
to
do
so.
Just
a
real
short
synopsis,
because,
again
I'm
going
to
encourage
everybody
here
to
meet
with
you
between
now
and
the
21st
and
we're
gonna
talk
about.
Q
X
What
I
put
together
for
you
is
current
efforts
that
we're
doing
right
now
from
the
discussion
last
week.
I,
don't
know
that
everybody
was
really
knew
the
things
that
the
cities
are
you
doing
so
this
first
page
are
all
of
the
current
city
wide
things
it
doesn't
include
anything
with
cultural
services
or
or
any
other
unit,
just
what
we
do.
Citywide
the
brochures,
the
newspaper
it
came
up,
the
travel
brochures
came
up,
we've
been
doing
those
every
year
since
2001
they're
on
all
the
Triple
A
centers.
X
All
of
the
five
welcome
centers
we
produce
200,000
of
those
a
year
so
they're
there
all
throughout
the
state.
The
st.
P
Clearwater
we've
got
our
billboards
up.
We've
had
those
up
for
the
past
several
years,
then
there's
some
promotional
sponsorships
that
we
do
in
each
year.
We
do
some
different
types
of
those
and
then
the
different
tourism
publications
that
we
do
I
know
the
Jolly
trolley
came
up
earlier.
I
have
a
meeting
in
fact
next
week
to
talk
with
them
about
advertising
and
the
trolley.
X
It's
something
that
we've
done
in
the
past
and
you
know
we're
looking
to
do
as
a
partnership.
Again
this
year,
and
then
it
also
came
up
last
year
about
business
marketing,
so
I
put
some
information
in
there
about
what
I
do
in
terms
of
working
with
businesses,
with
business
attraction
retention,
the
trade
shows
and
conferences,
the
things
that
that
we
do
to
promote
the
city
from
a
business
standpoint,
the
local
and
regional
meetings
that
we
go
in
in
prospect,
meetings
that
I
have
regularly
and
then
the
data
and
research.
X
As
you
recall,
we
did
the
economic
impact
study
on
tourism,
so
we've
got
some
information
from
there
visit
st.
Pete
Clearwater
has
a
lot
of
information.
Most
of
that
is
beaches.
They
do
a
monthly
visitor
profile.
It
does
include
a
bit
of
tarpon
springs
in
it,
a
percentage
of
visitors
that
are
coming
up
to
tarpon
from
from
the
beaches.
So
we
do
have
that
and
moving
forward.
X
We
can
do
a
lot
more
with
the
data
that
they
have
and
then
the
last
page
is
is:
are
you
taking
some
notes
from
the
meeting,
and
these
were
these
were,
and
bold
are
the
issues
that
came
up
with
things
that
we
need
to
do
more,
do
better
of
or
what
can
we
do
moving
forward?
So
that's
what
I've
outlined
here
from
my
recollection,
what
we
can
do
and
then
I've
tried
to
address
some
of
what
we're
doing
already
and
what
we
can
do
together
with
cultural
arts
and
the
professionals
that
they
have
there.
X
I
did
have
a
meeting
with
Diane
and
they
do
have
resources
that
they're
already
doing
in
terms
of
their
performances
that
that
we
can
use
that
we
can
communicate
better
I
think
we're
gonna
we're
going
to
sit
down
again
and
and
move
forward.
I
listed
some
things
that
they
can
do
for
us,
so
I
think
working
together
with
them
sitting
down
and
deciding
what
are
we
already
doing,
that
we
can
just
piggyback
off
of
information
that
they
have?
They
have
a
wealth
of
data
that
just
needs
to
be
shared
and
then
working
better
with
st.
X
P,
Clearwater,
CVB
and
sitting
down
with
them
and
then
again
attending
those
TDC
meetings,
so
getting
more
involved
countywide,
which
we
haven't
been
doing,
which
is
a
good
thing
that
we
need
to
do
so.
These
are
this
is
what
I've
put
together
after
meeting
with
Diane
until
let
you
know
what
we're
currently
doing,
what
we
could
do
and
then
moving
forward
as
we're
working
together
with
our
other
departments
and
what
they're
doing
we
can
have
a
more
robust
marketing
effort.
M
And
again,
I
encourage
you
between
in
the
twenty
first
and
we
deal
with
this
to
get
with
Karen
and
go
over
these
further.
As
we
get
to
this
again
in
the
reorganization,
you
can
see
in
essence,
there's
going
to
end
up,
because
one
of
the
positions
is
the
is
the
position
we're
changing
the
curator
position
to
a
marketing
there's
going
up
being
three
of
them
between
their
diet?
M
A
A
Reorganization
you've
been
doing
a
good
job
doing
that
and
it
worked
very
favorably
in
the
past
and
I'm
sure
they
it's
going
to
be
very
good
again
this
time
around.
I'm
glad
that
you
we
have
a
qualified
person
to
be
assigned
for
marketing
I,
like
the
fact
that
you
assigned
$25,000
for
the
person
to
be
able
to
work
with,
because
what
good
is
it
to
have
a
position
without
allocating
any
funds
for
the
person
to
be
able
to
go
I
use
it
for
marketing.
So
this
is
good
and
I
like
that
very
much.
A
There
was
one
more
item
that
permission
kicked
up,
which
is
not
here
tonight
that
I,
like
you,
bring
it
up.
She
was
concerned
about
the
the
homeless
leadership
board
work.
She
was
entertaining
the
thought
to
take
the
funds
away
from
the
homeless
leadership
board
and
I
like
to
ask
a
little
bit
more.
My
fellow
commissioners
are
no
Commission
super
serve
on
that
no
in
vice
mayor
did.
If
you
tell
us
exactly
what
they
did
because
I
looked
at
website
and
the
functions
that
they
did.
It
really
doesn't
tell
me
much.
A
And
not
I'm,
also
in
favor,
for
taking
the
funds
away
from
that
from
the
homeless
leadership
board,
but
I
got
a
look
at
the
a
Pinellas,
safe
harbor.
This
is
an
agency
that
are,
we
used
constantly.
We
take
in
homeless
people
to
them
and
they
open
24
hours
a
day.
They
will
take
anyone,
including
felons
drug
and
alcohol
abusers.
This
is
a
service
that
are
helping
people
to
give
back
in
your
back
into
their
field.
I
think
it's
a
national
service.
If
we're
gonna
take
this
money
away
from
from
the
homeless
leadership
board.
A
J
Towards
going
right
now,
I
said
at
the
beginning,
even
though
I
have
my
disagreements
with
some
of
our
community
providers,
I
think
Osterman
and
South
would
learn
from
Tarpon
and
an
ally
of
our
homeless
outreach
officer.
We
have
so
many
community
partners,
so
many
generous
churches.
Thank
you.
Learn
from
us,
I
really,
don't
think
that
don't
learn
from
them
and
that's
that's
nice
as
I
can
put
it
so
I'm
in
support
of
that.
Don't
I
say
my
other
comments
too.
Now.
A
J
I'm
in
support
of
the
salary
increase
that
the
Rangers.
Thank
you
for
working
on
that
I.
Think
I
recall
that
all
the
way
back
when
I
was
on
be
a
budget
Advisory,
Committee
I
know
that's
not
easy
and
I'm
I'm,
proud,
I'm,
proud
of
many
things
of
the
city
mornings.
I'm
most
proud
of,
is
how
we
don't
play
games,
but
with
our
budget
I,
don't
think
I
can
think
of
one
Commissioner.
J
In
my
in
my
mind
that
has
you
know
toyed
with
that
in
a
lot
of
cities,
I'm
not
saying
it's,
they
think
it's
fun
and
games,
but
prefer
different
political
reasons
they
lower
the
millage
when
they
probably
shouldn't
budgeting
is,
is
not
done
in
the
most
conservative
manner
and
tarpon
springs
this
Commission
and
the
previous
ones.
All
the
future
ones
have
really
maintained
a
conservative
budget,
and
that
has
brought
us
through
these
tough
times
and
and
I
think
it
will
be
the
tough
times
to
come.
J
Thank
you
to
our
to
art
who
are
to
our
city
manager,
Ron
herring.
What
was
lady's
name
before
wrong
Gary
Walker,
yes,
sir,
yes,
sir,
yes,
Arawak
I
have
a
Mitchell.
It's
probably
a
little
too
smart
for
me,
but
her
department
and
our
city
manager.
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
you've
done
with
the
budget.
I
want
to
make
sure.
As
always,
you
can
cluded
yourself
and
the
city
clerk
and
the
increases.
A
M
And
again,
right
now,
I
didn't
have
that.
I
should
add
that
on
there
right
now
that
5,000
is
open
because
the
homeless
leader,
we
knew
that
was
discussion
up
so
right.
Now
it's
a
5,000
open
for
what
the
Commission
decides
to
do
with
the
5,000.
It's
not
it's
not
dedicated
until
you
decide
what
to
do
with
that.
That
portion.
F
Yes,
on
that
subject
with
HIV
board,
that
is
a
County
Board
that
it
gets
funding
and
and
also
helps
Pinellas
Safe
Harbor.
So
they
do
provide
help
to
a
lot
of
agencies,
but
yeah
I,
agree.
I,
think
we
could
do
something
better
with
with
that
5,000,
even
if
it
went
to
our
particular
officer
or
police
department.
That's
that's
helping
with
the
homeless
here
as
far
as
the
budget.
Yes,
thank
you.
Mark
great
job
and
Ron
approve
of
all
the
employee
increases
marketing.
I
just
got
this
today.
F
Tourism
is
our
number
one
industry
here.
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
look
at
our
businesses
and
and
tourism
and
I
I,
prove
and
agree
that
cultural
services
should
have
someone
in
marketing,
but
they
talk
about
marketing
event
specialist
and
we're
not
talking
about
just
events.
As
far
as
you
know,
what
I'm
talking
about
I'm,
really
talking
about
more
research
and
thirty-five
thousand
dollars,
isn't
gonna
go
far
for
that.
Many
research
companies
marketing
companies
like
Dunedin
use,
spend
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
F
So
you
know
I
just
really
am
interested
in
talking
more
to
Karen
about
this
and
seeing
what
we
can
do
better
getting
reports
from
TDC.
It's
not
like
being
there
I've
been
told
by
various
commissioners.
We
need
a
presence.
We
need
to
be
there
to
to
talk
to
ask
and
and
possibly
get
funds
from
them.
So
but
I'll
talk
to
Karen
more
about
this
and
that's.
M
C
A
C
C
Let's
see
I'm
excited
to
see
the
signage
added
here
as
a
line
item
an
additional
beautification
and
then
some
marketing
dollars.
In
addition
to
what
we've
already
been
doing
as
a
city,
one
of
the
things
I
do
have
a
question
about
was
I
visit
towns
across
the
south
and
a
lot
of
these
towns
have
have
done
a
lot
from
a
planning
perspective
economic
development
perspective.
C
Is
there
funds
available
for
like
the
city,
planner
and
economic
developer,
to
go
visit
and
meet
with
other
city
municipalities,
for
instance
like
Greenville,
South,
Carolina
or
Savannah,
or
some
of
these
other
Asheville
other
towns
locally
in
Florida
to
go
and
tour
not
as
like
a
vacation
we're
paying
a
vacation
for
them,
but
they
get
educated
to
see
the
steps
of
where
they
were
and
where
they've
gone.
Maybe
how
we
could
learn
from
these
other
cities.
Is
that
something
available
to
some
of
our
staff
members?
That
would.
M
C
Do
we
encourage
that
as
a
as
the
city
manager?
Do
you
encourage
that
I
just
I
know
this
might
be
not
a
budget
question,
but
I
would
think.
I
would
like
to
encourage
that
this
year
next
year,
and
as
long
as
I'm
on
the
board
that
we
encourage
at
least
a
planner
and
economic
developer
and
I'm,
not
sure
you
could
decide
who
else
would
to
visit
some
of
these
towns
to
really
see
what
they've
done,
because
when
I
go
there
I
I
mean
I.
A
C
One
comment:
I
forgot
to
mention
from
a
marketing
perspective:
opl,
it's
a
hotel
chain
down.
It's
opal
sands
sand
parole
that
Christopher
still
has
a
lot
of
paintings
and
those
hotels.
There's
a
great
article
in
that
magazine,
I'm,
not
sure.
If
anyone's
seen
that
there's
a
magazine,
that's
in
all
their
properties,
I
think
I,
don't
know
how
many
it's
like
50
to
125
properties.
I
can't
remember
how
many
to
have
across
the
state
up
to
the
Northeast,
and
it's
like
a
two
or
three
page
spread
in
the
middle
of
their
magazine.
C
It
focuses
on
like
all
their
properties,
but
then
there's
a
great
piece
about
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
and
the
sponging
the
history
about
it
and
I
think
Chris
had
a
impact
on
getting
that
in
there
and
I
think
it's
a
great.
It
was
a
great
resource,
I'm,
not
sure
if
Karen
had
something
to
do
with
it
or
not,
but
it's
a
great
article
to
see
that
Tarpons
being
represented
across
all
these
