Let
us
pray
father.
We
thank
you
for
this
glorious
day
that
you
have
allowed
us
to
be
in.
We.
Thank
you
for
this
city
of
Tarpon
Springs.
We
pray
Lord

our
city
government.
We
pray
for
our
city
leaders,
commissioners,
the
mayor.
We
pray
for
all
the
city
workers
as
a
special
prayer,
fire
first
responders

police
and
fire
department,
the
father.
We
pray
that
you
a
bless
every
resident,
every
visitor
that
find
their
way
in
this
city
wax
a
special
blessing
upon
this
meeting
tonight
and
your
name.
We
pray,
amen.
A
E
This
type
of
event
probably
injects
more
revenue
into
the
local
businesses
than
it
actually
does.
The
chamber
and
I
would
hope,
so
it
showcases
the
city
with
one
of
the
best
and
finest
quality
art
events
in
Florida.
It's
regarded
as
one
of
the
top
shows
in
the
southeast,
and
we
hear
that
a
lot
from
the
artists
that
are
coming
back
year.
E
The
verbal
comments
from
the
artists
during
the
weekend
and
now
the
uncoming
surveys
that
we
distributed
on
Saturday
picked
up
some
of
them
on
Sunday,
and
some
of
them
are
being
mailed
in
as
we
go
through.
Those
we
are
seeing
that
this
was.
The
comments
are
that
this
is
one
of
the
best
weekend's
of
any
show
that
they
have
attended
so
far
this
year.
Yes,
of
course,
we're
pleased,
but
we've
also
they've
also
observed
that
the
quality
of
competition
for
prizes
is
becoming
very
tight
by
the
way.
E
I,
don't
know
if
you
all
know,
but
we
award
19
thousand
dollars
in
prize
money,
which
is
one
of
the
highest
in
the
state
of
Florida.
Our
three
judges
this
year
or
of
high
quality
Hosea
a
lot
who
is
the
former
curator
for
the
Henry
B
plant
museum,
was
here
Katie
Dietz,
who
is
the
executive
director
of
the
Florida
Arts
Kratt,
a
craft
Art
Museum
and
Lonnie
Hopkins,
who
is
a
retired
metal,
sculpture.
Ax,
stand
also
a
jewelry
artist.
E
Those
were
our
jurors
and
our
three
artists,
so
this
is
not
just
apply
and
and
be
here.
This
is
a
big
process
about
one-third
of
our
artists.
This
year
of
our
200
artists
were
first-timers
and
we're
and
we're
the
excellence
that
we
have
been
trying
to
attract
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
We
really
have
stepped
up
the
game.
These
quality
guests
are
what
filled
the
hotels
this
weekend
filled
the
restaurants
they
eat
in
the
restaurant
shop
in
the
stores,
and
many
are
planning
to
return
in
the
next
few
months.
E
Not
just
come
back
for
the
show.
I've
spoken
with
a
few
of
our
businesses
have
told
me
that
their
restaurants
were
full
and
others
who
were
very
busy,
and
the
afternoon
after
patrons,
had
left
the
festival.
Our
chamber
information
desk
at
the
festival
almost
ran
out
of
visitors
guides
and
what
to
do
brochures
on
Saturday,
so
we
had
to
replenish
before
Sunday.
We
were
crowded
all
day,
both
days
and
people
were
buying.
E
Just
as
an
aside
at
9:30,
the
first
day,
30
minutes
after
we
were
opened,
I
was
called
on
the
radio
to
go
to
the
main
gate,
to
open
to
let
someone
bring
a
car
in,
and
a
$2,800
piece
of,
sculpture,
glass
sculpture
went
out.
The
door
30
minutes
into
the
festival
they
put
it
in
their
car
because
they
wanted
to
come
back
and
shop
some
more.
So
that's
the
quality
of
what
we
saw
going
out
the
door
this
year.
I
think
the
economy
is
on
its
way
back.
E
A
G
Good
evening,
mayor
and
Board
of
Commissioners
first
thing
as
I
will
start,
I
would
like
to
again
reiterate
that
it's
imperative
at
the
next
and
future
elections
that
we
have
transparency
with
regards
to
financial
reporting.
I,
don't
know
if
the
clerk
has
power
to
do
it
on
her
own
or
it
has
to
be
a
resolution
or
something
from
the
board
to
authorize
that,
but
it
needs
to
be
done.
G
I'm
not
going
to
imply
any
wrongdoing
or
any
illicit
activity,
but
I
will
give
you
facts
and
you
can
think
about
them
and
wonder.
On
your
own
last
time,
I
was
here.
I
spoke
about
two
donations
to
mr.
Archie's
campaign,
back
in
January,
from
a
78
political
committee
out
of
Orlando
and
on
January
7th
for
the
Florida,
finishing
contractors,
Association
also
out
of
Orlando
for
$1,000.
G
Now
I
did
a
little
more
research
after
the
next
reporting's
came
out,
and
it
was
quite
interesting
on
February
10th
mr.
Archie
received
a
thousand
dollar
donation
from
political
action
together
political
committee
out
of
Hanover
Maryland
Hanover
Maryland.
Why
are
they
interested
in
Tarpon
activities?
Well,
it's
interesting.
Their
agent
has
the
same
address
as
the
78
political
committee
out
of
Orlando
and
both
of
them
are
tight
to
the
International
Brotherhood
of
painters
and
allied
trades.
G
Now
on
February
15th
mr.
Archie
received
three
separate
donations
of
$1,000
each
from
a
realtors
group.
However,
I
need
you
to
listen
carefully.
One
was
the
realtors
political
advocacy
committee,
the
other
was
the
real
ders
political
action
committee
and
the
third
was
the
realtors
political
activity
committee.
Now
all
three
of
these
had
addresses
in
Tallahassee,
200,
Monroe
Street
and
the
same
address
in
Tallahassee
at
115,
East,
Park
Avenue.
Now
the
curious
thing
is
the
treasurer
for
all
three
of
these
is
the
same
person
David
garrison.
G
Also,
there
was
another
donation
from
san'ko's,
better
government
committee
out
of
st.
Petersburg
for
another
thousand.
So
if
you
take
all
of
these
up
one
two,
three
four
five:
six:
seven
donations
of
$1,000
each,
but
the
interesting
thing
that
I
found
was
after
I,
spoke
at
the
last
meeting.
Someone
who's
involved
in
city
activities.
I
happened
to
run
into
them
and
they
showed
me
a
Facebook
post
and
I.
G
Don't
do
Facebook,
sometimes
I
have
to
wonder
about
what
Facebook
is
really
true,
but
it
said
that
Jack
lavalla
was
getting
involved
in
Tarpon
politics
and
I
said
well,
that's
weird,
I
didn't
see
anything
there,
so
I
went
back
and
I
looked
at
previous
records,
so
actually
what
I
found
was
in
earlier
reporting's
back
on
October
18th
of
2018,
the
Florida
Leadership
Committee
donated
$500
and
on
November
27th,
the
21st
century.
Florida
Committee
also
donated
$500
to
mr.
Archie's
campaign.
Now,
who
are
they
so
I
googled,
Florida,
Leadership,
Committee
and
guess.
G
Politics.Com
there
was
an
article
published
on
January
16
2018
written
by
Scott
powers
and
it
states
Florida,
State
Senator
Jack
LaValle
is
sitting
on
nearly
seven
million
in
political
committee.
Money
said
Tuesday
as
unused
campaign.
Money
will
be
returned
to
donors
if
he
closes
down
that
campaign.
As
we
know,
he
did
close
that
down,
but,
however,
further
in
the
article
it
states
among
the
funds
he
controls.
The
Florida
leadership
committee
has
taken
in
more
than
nine
point.
G
Six
million
I
hear
the
bell
and
miss
some
Marcus
has
been
willing
to
donate
time
towards
me
so
I'm
entitled
to
another
two
minutes.
Also.
It
says
the
21st
century
Florida
committee
has
brought
in
a
hundred
and
thirty
one
thousand
had
left
over
eight
thousand
four
hundred
at
the
end
of
the
year.
Now.
Both
of
these
are
funds
that
Jack
LaValle
either
set
up
or
has
control
over.
G
Now,
if
you
go
to
the
Department
of
State
dot
elections,
dot-com,
slash
committees,
Co
M,
LK,
up
you'll
find
a
list
all
the
political
committees
there
and
if
you
go
to
the
Florida
Leadership
Committee
you'll
see
that
over
the
years
they
raised
over
nine
million
dollars
and
currently
from
the
last
report
on
February
28th,
they
still
have
almost
1.7
million
dollars
left
now.
The
interesting
thing
I
found
is
when
you
look
up
twenty
serves
21st
century
Florida
committee.
It
shows
it's
closed
now,
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
closed
before
mr.
G
Archie
got
the
donation
or
after
he
got
the
donation
because
there's
no
date
there.
So
I
haven't
gotten
further
on
the
research,
but
I've
been
following
elections
here
in
Tarpon,
and
you
know
that
and
I've
looked
at
financial
reports,
and
this
is
the
first
time
I've
seen
that
many
donations
from
political
action
committees
getting
involved
in
Tarpon
Springs
elections,
and
it
makes
me
wonder
why
also
curious,
who
reached
out
to
who
and
for
what
reason.
G
So
I
just
wanted
to
leave
those
thoughts
in
your
mind
and
I'm,
going
to
do
some
more
research
and,
as
I,
find
things
out,
I'm
going
to
share
them
with
you,
because
one
thankfully
votes
matter
more
than
money,
because
if
you
look
at
the
eight
thousand
dollars
mr.
Archie
raised,
that
was
third
about
thirty
percent
of
the
money
he
got
so
just
curious
as
to
who
and
why
people
from
outside
our
area,
Tallahassee,
Orlando
and
Marylyn
are
interested
in
Tarpon
Springs
politics.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
attention.
Thank.
A
A
The
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
Florida
Proclamation,
whereas
we
commemorate
the
198
anniversary
of
Greece
independence,
the
celebration
of
Greek
independence
date
or
March.
25
2019
draws
inspiration
from
one
of
the
holiest
days
for
the
Greek
Orthodox
Christians
and
whereas
on
the
Greek
Independence
Day,
we'll
celebrate
our
special
ties
of
friendship,
history
and
share
values
with
Greece
and
whereas
Greek
Americans
have
made
a
mark
in
every
field
by
enhancing
our
culture
in
reaching
our
commerce
and
defending
our
freedom.
And
whereas
there
are
strong
record
of
public
services
is
also
strengthen.
A
Our
democracy
and
their
contributions
have
made
America
a
better
place
and
whereas
Sunday
March
31st
2019
has
been
chosen
for
the
Greek
Independence
Day
Parade
in
terrible
spring.
Now,
therefore,
I
crystal
opposes,
by
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
in
me
as
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs,
for
to
hereby
proclaim:
March
25th
2019
as
Greek
independence
day
and
I
like
to
invite
mr.
Sasori
to
come
and
accept
the
proclamation.
H
J
Good
evening,
Paul
Smith
public
services
director
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
with
me
here
tonight
as
hilary
weber
sees
our
water
division
manager
and
she's
working
with
the
project
administration
department,
nick
mattress
on
a
grant
and
we're
ranked
high
right
now
for
at
boat
I'll.
Let
Hillary
tell
you
just
a
bit
about
that:
real
quick,
just
one
of
our
water
conservation
evidence.
K
K
G
Pr2
lacks
5:1
for
Ashland.
Haven't
you
just
want
to
focus
on
a
couple
things
in
this?
It
says,
whereas
every
business
industry,
school
and
citizen
can
help,
and
then
later
it
says
and
I
call
upon
each
citizen
and
business
to
help
protect
our
precious
resources.
As
the
kind
gentlelady
from
the
chamber
said
last
weekend
was
busy,
I
had
a
friend
in
town
and
we
went
to
rusty
bellies
and
the
place
was
packed.
G
G
I
would
recommend
sending
to
them
a
letter
with
this
and
asking
them
kindly
to
not
serve
water
unless
asked
for
because
so
many
times
when
you
get
seated
they're
bringing
you
a
big
glass
of
water
and
it
sits
there
and
people
are
buying
drinks
and
teas
and
sodas
and
beers,
or
what
a
coffee,
whatever
their
beverage
of
choice,
is
and
I
notice.
The
water
just
sits
there.
Now,
it's
not
just
the
water
in
the
glass,
that's
wasted.
G
You
have
to
wash
them
which
takes
up
even
more
water,
so
that
I
think
would
be
a
good
step
to
advise
some
of
our
businesses
and
in
a
sense
when
I'm,
just
thinking
also
about
this.
We
have
some
large
industrial
users
that
you
would
know
about,
that.
You
could
maybe
approach
to
them
and
maybe
give
them
some
ideas
and
get
some
of
their
ideas
as
to
what
they
do
to
conserve
water
and
through
that.
G
G
I've
said
this
before
we
mistreat
water
and
we
think
of
it.
As
you
know,
we
pay
pennies
on
the
gallon,
but
water
is
like
gold.
I
went
hiking
last
weekend
out
at
Starkey
Park,
we
walked
about
7
miles
and
I
tell
you.
We
were
glad
to
have
a
couple
of
sips
along
the
way
and
when
we
get
back
to
the
car
you
know
gave
the
dogs
water.
We
we
under
appreciate
the
value
of
our
fresh,
clean
water,
so
I.
G
A
L
L
His
staff
seems
confident
that
funding
will
be
reinstated,
but
the
schedule
is
unknown
at
this
time,
so
this
is
obviously
something
I'm,
keeping
a
very
close
eye
on
and
we'll
bring
updates
to
you,
as
as
information
comes
in,
but
meanwhile
I'm
about
to
authorize
our
engineer
to
continue
design
and
permitting
work
that
we
started
last
fall
on
an
area
we're
calling
the
extended
turning
basin.
This
is
something
I
brought
to
your
attention.
I
believe
in
my
last
update.
L
The
extended
turning
basin
is
the
portion
of
the
river
that
lies
outside
of
and
adjacent
to,
the
federal
channel
and
thus
would
be
the
city's
responsibility
to
dredge
conceptual
design.
Work
has
already
been
done
and
we've
already
completed
a
seagrass
survey,
so
we
have
made
some
steps
towards
getting
that
going,
but
we
need
to
keep
it
moving.
L
The
timeline
of
their
procurement
process
depends
entirely
on
the
federal
funding
which,
of
course,
as
I've
said,
is
still
uncertain,
but
we
know
we'll
have
to
work
fast
and
our
our
engineers
are
on
board
to
make
every
effort
to
try
to
match
their
timeline
when
it
finally
gets
established,
and
we
have
funding
for
the
design
and
permitting
of
the
extended
turning
basin
portion.
But
funding
for
the
actual
dredge
work
for
the
external
extended
turning
basin
is
not
established
yet
and
I
believe
Commissioner
car
has
some
will
be
addressing
this
in
his
comments.
A
Mr.
Robert,
so
thank
you
for
the
update
and
if
we
should
be
a
quality
of
work
that
you're
doing
for
the
city,
I
am
very,
very
unhappy.
What's
going
on
losing
funding
for
for
our
soy
import
project,
the
city
of
Tartu
Springs,
but,
as
you
say,
the
project
will
not
stop
will
continue,
because
we
have
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Now
we
got
from
the
year
Pinellas
County.
A
Yes,
we
used
for
design,
no
we're
going
to
begin
keep
going,
but
I
will
continue
to
communicate
with
congressman
Billy
Rikers,
senator
Rubio
and
I
will
be
reaching
out
to
your
sense
of
Scott
to
have
a
meeting
with
you
to
make.
You
know
to
ask
him
to
work
with
us:
do
restore
funding
on
this
project,
but
I
like
to
ask
our
of
my
fellow
commissioners
when
we
have
any
ideas
or
India
or
any
requests
if
we
can
send
an
email
to
the
city
manager
without
violate
the
Sunshine
Law.
A
I
Senator
Hooper,
County,
Commissioner
Eggers
have
both
expressed
willingness
to
help
in
anything
that
they
can
do
so.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
to
what
the
mayor
is
saying,
as
our
board
I
know,
vice
mayor
getting
ready
to
take
off
here
soon,
but
as
the
board,
we
all
need
to
reach
out
to
them
individually.
I'm
gonna
send
a
letter
that
basically
details
everything
out
on
what
the
concerns
that
we
have
and
the
lack
of
funding
that
we
have
for
the
extended
turn
basin.
I
Also
we'll
have
a
couple
testimonial
letters
as
well
from
local,
shrimp,
boat
operators
explaining
how
important
it
is,
because
at
this
point
it's
basically
creating
a
one-way
river
is
what
I've
been
told
by
the
local
fishermen
that
you
could
come
in,
but
there's
no
spot
to
really
turn
around.
So
it's
still
in
it
would
be
intimidating
for
the
people
that
don't
know
the
river
very
well
to
come
in
and
then
they
still
have
to
go
to
Tampa.
The
turn
basin
isn't
there.
I
So
at
that
juncture,
I
will
be
sending
a
letter
and
I
would
ask
that
the
rest
of
the
board
members
also
communicate
and
send
letters
as
well
just
in
support
of
the
additional
funding
where
it
can
I
know.
Trish
and
Bob
could
probably
help
out
with
these
as
well.
So
thanks
for
the
putting
us
on
the
agenda
mayor
and
happy
to
support
this
as
one
of
the
commissioners
thank.
M
M
We're
about
you
know
that
you
know
year
and
a
half,
though
away
from
that
from
that
next
next
next
cycle,
but
hopefully
the
more
that
the
future
board
keep
this
in
front
of
them.
The
letters
face
to
face
meetings
and
will
and
and
and
and
whatever
else,
that
they
won't
forget
about
it.
And
you
know
it's
it's
so
important.
M
A
F
I've
also
been
an
advocate
from
the
beginning
and
I've
done,
whatever
I
could,
on
my
part,
both
with
the
county
and
the
state.
I
feel
that
yeah
definitely
vice
mayor
said
it
affects
a
lot
of
people,
affects
tourism
and
affects
our
fishery
fishing
industry.
Our
our
businesses
on
the
docks.
So
it's
important
to
to
keep
strong
on
this
and
and
I
appreciate
your
updates.
Bob
I
was
thinking
instead
of
just
a
letter
from
one
Commissioner.
Could
we
do
something
as
a
board
to
send
to
Tallahassee
I?
Think.
A
I
This
discussion
earlier
with
Bob
and
I'm,
not
saying
that
this
is
the
way
it
needs
to
go,
but
it's
different
from
getting
one
letter
in
the
mail
to
getting
five
letters
in
the
mail
I
think,
and
so,
if
you
get
and
I'm
happy
for
everybody
to
sign
it
and
I
think
it
would
be
it's
it's
wise
to
do
that.
But
when
I
get
five
different
things
in
the
mail
talking
about
the
same
thing,
it
makes
more
of
an
impact
to
myself
than
it
is.
I
If
I
just
get
one
letter
in
the
mail
asking
for
this
and
then
follow
up
with
additional
phone
calls
and
following
up
with
additional
requests.
So
if
the
boards
in
favor
to
do
one
letter,
I'm
fine
with
that
and
I'm
happy
to
do
a
follow-up
note,
personal
note
to
each
one
as
well:
I'm,
not
against
either
aspect,
but
that
that
was
my
thinking
and
because
I
did
bring
it
up.
I
said.
I
A
I
A
A
L
Robertson
project
administration,
department,
director
so
tonight
I'm
pleased
to
present
to
you
a
first
look
at
a
proposed
concept.
We
have
for
the
new
Dyess
for
the
auditorium
right
here
in
this
room,
so
this
is
a
discussion
item
we're
looking
for
your
feedback
as
we
move
forward
and
into
final
design.
Staff
from
several
city
departments
have
provided
input
on
the
design
concept
that
you
see
before
you
and
your
backup
memo.
There's
some
renderings
and
I'll
show
you
a
little
demo
here
in
a
moment.
L
L
New
dance
will
be
collapsible
and
will
be
built
on
sturdy
casters
to
allow
it
to
break
down
and
roll
back
up
against
the
stage
behind
you
where
it
can
be
secured
to
the
stage
for
storage.
It
will
include
a
hidden
cable
chaise
to
allow
for
audio-visual
power
or
other
electronics
connections
built
into
the
unit,
and
it
will
be
constructed
of
wood
with
either
red
oak
walnut
or
cherry
wood.
Species
and
I
have
some
printouts,
like
I,
didn't
get
time
to
put
this
in
your
backup.
I'll
pass
these
down.
D
L
L
So
if
we
can
fit
all
that
in
the
budget,
it's
like
try
to
do
that.
So
before
we
get
to
discussion
and
questions,
I
have
a
small
scale.
Mock-Up
I'm
gonna
have
Tom
help
me
out
here.
He's
gonna
bring
it
up
in
the
front,
so
I
can
stay
at
the
podium,
and
this
is
a
mock-up
of
one
of
the
modules.
What
they're
proposing.
N
L
Right
we're
proposing
seven
modules
like
this,
and
that
is
a
small-scale
version.
That's
not
the
kids
dais!
You
know.
That's
I
also
want
to
joke
about
budget
cuts
or
something
so
you
get
a
smaller
version,
but
so,
if
you
can
visualize,
seven
units
of
a
larger
scale
obviously
set
up
in
the
same
arrangement
as
arrangements
your
hat
now,
so
it
would
be
angled
out
so
so
that
board
members
and
committee
members
can
see
each
other
for
discussions.
L
L
Excuse
me
rolling
back
up
against
the
stage
and
locking
in
for
storage,
it'll,
be
at
the
same
height
as
the
stage,
so
there
wouldn't
be
a
trip
hazard
for
performances
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
then,
when
it's
in
the
upright
position,
it'll
have
locking
mechanisms
so
that
you
wouldn't
accidentally
kick
the
legs
out
and
have
the
table
following
or
anything
like
that.
So
that's
the
concept
wanted
to
get
your
ideas
and
thoughts
on
it
and
before
we
move
forward
with
with
final
design
thanks
Tom
thank.
D
L
I
do
all
I
have.
Is
the
3d
renderings
that
we
have
at
this
point
here
that
the
contractor
is
going
to
work
up
something
a
little
more
detailed
for
us
and
what
they're
gonna
do
is
once
based
on
our
selections
and
the
final
guidance
they're.
Actually
gonna
build
one
full
prototype
module
full-size,
not
the
little
guy,
so
we
can
see
what
it
looks
like
and
how
it
works
before
they
build
all
seven
of
them
in.
A
A
A
O
L
I
L
I
L
L
I
M
And
then
I
know
it's
not
on
this
topic
per
se,
but
the
weather
with
it
with
with
with
with
with
with
with
these
microphones,
we
need
to
find
that
you
push-to-talk.
So
it's
not
like
you
know,
because
if
you
watch
on
TV
you
can
whisper
and
hear
everything,
and
so
it's
just
distracting
so
and
then,
if
you
get
I
know
like
est,
has
them
and
many
other
boards,
so
I
think
everything
needs
to
get
replaced.
I
certainly
think
we
have
the
funds
to
have
a
matching,
daya,
small,
sorry,
okay,
imagine,
odium
and
a
storage
cabinet.
M
A

Now
go
to

A
I
I
Bob
you
talk
about
this
one
for
a
minute
I
currently
today,
my
understandings,
that
we
don't
have
any
needs
to
use
a
business
or
the
Geo
seems
there
sinkholes
or
voids
in
the
areas
or
something
along
those
lines.
I
know
we've
used
businesses
in
the
past
and
based
on
our
discussion,
am
I
right
in
saying
this?
This
is
just
making
sure
that
we
have
somebody
ready
in
the
event
that
we
do
need
to
do
something
on
a
roadway
or
a
city-owned
property,
and
we
have
to
wait
for
the
Commission
to
approve
something
correct
that.
I
L
I
I
A
I
P
A
To
leave
early,
he
has
some
family
obligations,
we're
going
to
go
directly
to
the
ordinance
of
resolutions
which
is
item,
number
19
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
the
especial
consent
agenda.
So
we're
going
to
be
doing
item
number
19,
which
is
the
ordinance
2000
1903
and
the
application
18

LDC

would

J
A
J
Thank
you
Marik.
We
did
some
additional
research
after
that
first
meeting
and
reached
out
to
the
area
cities
and
how
they
handle
this
sort
of
thing
and
each
one
handled
it
slightly
different.
But
the
the
theme
that
I
got
is
there's
flexibility
in
this
process.
This
is
a
process
that
we
will
be
reviewing
with
you
before
we
implement
it
and
individual
uses
primarily
what
we're
talking
about
our
sales
rentals
concessions.
Those
types
of
activities
would
be
the
types
that
would
fall
into
this
type
of
franchise
agreement,
some
examples
and
Dunedin.
J
They
have
their
concession
agreement
for
honeymoon
island.
It's
quite
a
sizable
agreement.
In
that
case
they
use
a
flat
haneul
fee
that
increases
each
year.
It's
about
$23,000
a
year
that
they
collect.
For
that
another
example,
we
saw
in
the
city
of
Largo,
they
have
a
central
park
there
and
they've
got
a
vendor
with
a
ferris
wheel
and
they're
gonna
have
them
come,
and
it's
basically
30%
of
the
revenues
goes
to
the
city,
so
they've
used
a
percent
match.
F
O
F
A
I
If
we,
if
we
are
approaching
a
business
owner
that
has
a
class
going
on
that,
we
are
just
respect
respectful
in
that
that
we
don't
embarrass
them
and
stop
them
in
the
middle
of
class
and
beginning
in
the
class
and
then
also
just
coach
them
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
grow
their
business
by
partnering
with
the
city
as
well,
because
then
we
can
advertise
it
within
the
city,
recreation
department
and
some
other
aspects
too,
but
I'm
in
support
of
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Q
Number
2000
19-0
v,
a
resolution
of
the
Board
of
Commissioners
of
the
city
of
Tarpon,
Springs
Florida,
establishing
a
per
linear
foot
fee
for
payment
into
the
sidewalk
trust
fund
pursuant
to
sections
one.
Thirty,
two
point:
zero
one:
one!
Thirty
two
point:
zero:
two
and
one
thirty:
two
point:
zero:
three
of
the
city
of
Turpan
Springs,
comprehensive
zoning
and
land
development
code.
When
the
construction
of
a
sidewalk
is
determined
to
not
be
practical
than
providing
for
an
effective.
A
P
Again,
the
principal
planner,
the
land
development
code,
allows
an
applicant
to
make
a
contribution
to
the
city,
sidewalk
trust
fund
in
lieu
of
actually
building
a
sidewalk.
If
the
applicant
meets
certain
standards
in
the
code
and
the
that
section
of
code
also
requires
that
the
cost
be
calculated
as
1
point
2
5
times
the
city's
cost
for
building
a
sidewalk,
and
it
also
requires
that
the
board
established
that
fee
periodically.
So
the
resolution
before
you
establishes
that
fee
at
30,
$1.25
per
linear
foot
and
staff
would
recommend
approval
over
a
solution.
A
J
Thank
You
mayor
Paul,
Smith
public
service
director
with
me
again.
Here's
Hillary
Weber
sees
the
water
division.
Managers
he's
also
the
project
manager
for
this
project
and
I
heard
a
comment
earlier.
This
this
title
might
be
a
little
bit
overly
complicated.
It's
solar
panels
is
what
it
is,
and
it's
solar
panels
at
the
RO
facility,
it's
something
that
we've
been
working
on
for
some
time.
This
is
something
that
came
from
our
community
this
level
of
interest,
and
it
was
a
great
idea.
I
can
tell
you
over
these
years
that
we've
been
working
on
this.
J
The
economic
conditions
for
solar
have
greatly
improved.
Cost
of
panels
have
come
down
substantially
and
we're
seeing
this
in
this
proposal
that
we've
received
we're
very
pleased
with
the
pricing,
and
this
is
part
of
a
phase
plan.
This
is
the
first
phase
we
plan
to
continue
to
basically
fill
up
as
much
of
our
usable
area
on-site
as
a
demonstration
type
project
with
solar
power
that
we
can
offset
our
electrical
costs
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Hilary.
To
tell
you
a
little
more
detail
about
the
project,
but
I
am
excited
about.
K
Not
only
is
this
environmentally
responsible,
but
it
makes
sense
financially
to
the
estimated
payback
for
the
system
is
10
years,
and
the
system
is
designed
to
last
for
25
years,
we've
also
partnered
with
some
of
our
USF
University
of
South
Florida
colleagues,
specifically
dr.
Chris,
Perry
kiti's,
he's
an
electrical
engineer
in
charge
of
the
program
over
there
and
he's
been
very
helpful
in
our
project.
A
Well,
well,
thank
you
for
presenting
this
item
mom.
Actually,
this
project
is
not
only
good
for
the
environment,
but
it
makes
sense
economically,
nine
and
a
half
to
ten
years
we'll
be
able
to
recover
the
cost.
I
think
it's
great
I
think
it
makes
good
sense
to
do
that.
One
thing
that
I'd
like
to
ask
you
is
I
know
it
doesn't
have
too
many
moving
parts.
This
system,
but
is
the
contractor
or
the
is
the
contractor,
will
provide
some
kind
of
a
trainee
to
our
technician
and
what
yes.
K
K
K
A
J
Mayor
I
have
to
say
when
we
met
him,
I'm
a
USF
graduate
and
when
we
talked
to
him
it
was
very
interesting.
We
referred
to
this
this
chart
from
this
National
Renewable
Energy
Laboratory,
and
he
says
you
know
what
I'm
on
that
chart.
Any
point
USF
has
done
some
really
cutting-edge
research
on
solar
panels
and
he's
the
guy
that
did
it.
So
this
was
a
great
connection
for
us
very
good
resource
use.
It.
A
M
A
F
Thank
you
both
its
forward,
thinking
and
I
appreciate
you
guys
doing
that
this
direction
we
want
to
go
in,
obviously,
and
it
is
more
cost-effective
now,
so
that
it
helps
us
and
saving
fifty
two
thousand
dollars
annually.
It's
a
good
thing.
What
is
the
timeline?
Did
you
answer
that
question
for
phase
2
and
phase
3.
J
Yeah,
that's
really
gonna
depend
on
our
next
approach.
We
will
be
procuring
the
next
thing
separately,
we'll
be
deciding
the
approach
we're
going
to
take
and
based
on
that
we'll
try
to
group
some
of
these
together.
We've
got
some
plans
in
our
capital
program
to
keep
going,
so
we
want
to
get
as
much
as
we
can
as
soon
as
we
can
really
so
that'll
our
approach
will
we.
I
Thanks
mayor,
thank
you
both
for
bringing
us
forward.
I
know
it's
something
that
we've
all
talked
about
for
quite
some
time.
So,
thanks
for
making
that
effort
and
this
green
technology
I
want
to
ask
a
couple
questions
about
the
warranty
of
the
solar
panels.
Can
you
just
touch
on
that
for
a
second,
so.
J
That
yeah,
each
of
the
components,
has
a
different
life,
but
the
important
one
is
the
solar
panels
and
they're
warranted
to
keep
producing
power
and
up
to
like
85
percent
of
their
power
after
25
years.
So
it's
it's
a
good
long
time.
We
expect
some
of
the
components
the
electronics
may
fail
before
then
in
fact,
there's
a
10
year
warranty
on
some
of
the
electronic
parts
and
that's
normal
in
the
industry,
but
I
think.
For
the
most
part,
our
combined
investment
will
outlive
its
payback
period
quite
easily
great.
I
J
I
J
At
this
point,
this
is
gonna
be
something
that
we
use
so
much
energy
on
site.
This
energy
we
gobbled
up
before
it
ever
gets,
needs
to
be
stored,
in
other
words,
we're
running
pumps,
24
hours
a
day
to
get
out
to
the
system
and
keep
it
pressurized,
and
just
that
power
alone
will
be
enough
to
to
use
up
what
we
have,
particularly
during
the
sunlight
daylight
hours.
So
I
don't
really
see
a
need
for
storage
at
this
time.
J
I
So
thanks
for
bringing
this
forward
looking
forward
to
seeing
more
solar
panels
around
tarpon
springs
and
getting
more
awards
for
our
water
department,
you
guys
doing
a
great
job.
Thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work
and
always
being
so
willing
to
talk
about
the
different
topics
and
making
making
sure
the
tarpon
has
some
of
the
best
water
drinking
water
in
the
state.
Thank
you.
I
G
Appear
to
like
is
five
one
for
Ashland
Avenue,
as
Paul
will
remember.
When
we
were
even
talking
about
putting
this
together,
I
was
telling
you
we
need
to
put
solar
panels
out
there
now.
I
do
have
a
couple
concerns
or
questions
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
they
could
be
answered
at
this
point,
but
in
cording
to
the
the
Public
Service
Department
men,
random
of
March
19th,
it
says
the
will
provide
solar
panels,
associate
ground,
mounts
and
equipment
along
the
northern
boundary
of
the
facility.
G
Secondly,
I
do
applaud
that
we
are
moving
forward
in
this
particular
direction,
but
I
would
like
to
see
the
board
look
at
cost
efficiencies
in
purchasing
more
panels,
because
you
know
we
know
if
you
buy
more,
usually
get
a
little
lower
rate,
but
we
have
city
buildings.
All
over
town
that
can
have
solar
panels
placed
upon
them,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
that
could
be
worked
with
either
this
bid
or
some
piggy
backs
or
any
future
bids,
but
I
think
it's
imperative
that
we
look
at
paneling
roofs
and
structures
such
that
we
can
maximize.
A
I
J
Yes,
as
part
of
leading
up
to
this
project,
some
of
the
reason
for
the
time
it
took
we
had
a
master
plan
performed
with
our
consulting
engineer
and
part
of
that
was
a
solar
survey
of
the
site
where
to
actually
go
out
and
take
readings
of
the
solar
energy
coming
down,
and
it's
a
great
point
and
it's
something
we
did
think
about
early
on.
Fortunately,
we
have
enough
room
in
that
northern
corridor.
J
It's
well
past
the
the
longest
shadow
of
the
year,
so
that
our
panels,
although
it's
ground,
mounted
they're,
actually
slightly
above
the
ground
and
they're
angled
to
the
south.
So
that's
why
they're
on
the
north
side
facing
the
south,
so
they
get
the
full
Sun
and
they
even
have
a
recommended
angle
of
that
mounting,
so
that
it
gets
the
maximum
Sun
so
yeah,
all
this
was
thought
out
and
also
the
comment
about.
Well.
Why
don't
we
put
them
on
a
roofs?
Yes,
that's
a
future
phase,
but
this
is
the
most
power
for
the
money.
J
I
A
Q
Thank
you.
Mr.
mayor,
you
have
been
given
a
quite
lengthy
memorandum
from
my
colleague,
Robert
Ashton
Felder
I
would
like
to
sum
it
up
briefly
and
then
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
The
property
owners
for
the
addresses,
76,
77,
78,
79,
80,
81,
82
and
83
in
his
drive,
made
a
state
or
statutory
claim
against
the
city
related
to
the
denial
of
a
sidewalk
waiver
before
the
Board
of
Adjustment.
Q
Part
of
that
process
was
to
go
before
a
special
magistrate
which
which,
which
was
mutually
agreed
upon
between
the
two
parties
and
kind
of
hold
a
mini.
Try
where
evidence
was
presented,
witnesses
were
questioned
and
then
at
the
end
of
that
to
have
the
special
magistrate
go
through
a
mediation
process.
So,
instead
of
coming
to
a
conclusion
and
a
judgement,
he
helped
the
parties
mediate
to
come
to
an
agreement.
The
agreement
is
set
forth
before
you
within
the
backup
materials.
Q
In
brief,
the
agreement
was
for
a
deposit
of
a
payment
to
the
city
of
$14,400
in
exchange
for
a
waiver
of
construction
of
sidewalks.
For
these
specific
addresses.
The
reason
it
appears
is
some
of
the
evidence
that
came
out
was
that
these
sidewalks
are
part
of
a
private
property
and
and
where
the
sidewalks
would
be
built
and
not
City
property,
and
there
was
some
back-and-forth
between
the
parties.
Q
In
addition,
once
the
parties
pay
the
$14,400
to
the
city
in
exchange
for
their
sidewalk
waiver
within
five
days
of
that
there's
a
current
code
enforcement
actions
on
some
of
the
properties
and
those
code
enforcement
actions
would
be
dismissed.
So
this
is
the
recommendation
that
was
set
forth
before
to
the
Commission.
Q
For
excuse
me
from
this
special
magistrate
and
at
this
point
the
Commission
can
either
choose
to
ratify
that
recommendation
and
ratify
the
settlement
agreement
between
the
parties
or
you
can
choose
to
deny
that
and
and
it
would
move
forward
from
there
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
them.
Just.
M
F
Q
A
N
Good
evening,
mayor
and
commissioners,
Cindy
Tara
pani,
Tara
pani
planning
strategies
represent
the
petitioners
who
and
I
was
at
the
mediation
with
them.
One
of
my
clients
is
here
tonight
we're
very
appreciative
of
settling
this
matter
and
making
a
donation
to
the
sidewalk
trust
fund
for
the
$14,400,
and
this
will
resolve
any
future
litigation
on
this
matter.
I
think
it's
a
good,
it's
a
win-win
for
both
parties.
Thank
you
very
much
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
A
I
Thank
you,
mayor
can
I
add
one
I
want
to
add
to
addition
to
that.
All
right,
I
thought
to
the
city,
manager
and
I
reiterated
the
need
to
see
some
sidewalks
built
around
Sisler
field
and
also
jasmine,
Sports,
Complex
and
I.
Think
it
would
be
good.
I
know,
he's
gonna
be
bringing
at
some
point
here,
the
new
sidewalk
with
target
and
where
they're
gonna
go
for,
but
obviously
safety
of
our
children
around
our
sports
complexes,
I
think
should
be
a
priority
for
us.
I
I
know
mayor
you
mentioned
in
past
meetings
that
jasmine
should
see
a
sidewalk
along
that
area
for
the
safety
of
the
children.
There's
parts
of
Carolina
that
connect
would
come
to
Sisler
feel
that
mirrors
that
there's
kids
on
the
bicycles
all
the
time,
there's
no
sidewalks
there,
it's
very
intermittent
so
I
I
think
this
is
an
encouraging
thing
to
see
and
I
would
like
to
encourage
the
city
manager
and
the
staff
to
look
at
areas
of
safety.
I
A
L
Good
evening
Bob
Robertson
project
administration
department,
director
in
October
the
board,
approved
moving
forward
with
the
installation
of
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
at
four
specific
locations
on
city
properties.
As
you
recall,
these
units
were
being
installed
by
Duke
Energy
through
a
grant
program
at
no
charge
to
the
city.
No
pun
intended.
Sorry,
although
your
backup
memo
says
that
installation
is
in
progress
at
those
three
locations,
those
actually
are
completed.
Now
they
are
installed
in
operational.
L
The
fourth
location
was
to
be
the
community
center
at
Walton
Avenue,
but
that
turned
out
to
not
be
technically
feasible
for
installation,
so
Duke
offered
us
an
alternative
location
as
presented
in
your
backup.
This
location
is
at
the
municipal
parking
lot
on
the
corner
of
Safford
Avenue
and
orange
Street.
A
conceptual
rendering
was
provided
in
your
backup
to
give
you
an
idea
what
it
would
look
like,
a
very
similar
installation,
it's
very
similar
to
the
installation,
I'm
sure
you've
seen
here
at
City,
Hall
right
here
in
the
in
the
back
parking
lot.
L
The
mayor
and
I
discussed
this
project
last
week
and
he
asked
me
to
inquire
about
the
possibility
of
having
Duke
install
this.
Fourth,
charger
at
the
mother:
Mears
parking
lot
on
the
corner
of
Tarpon
Avenue
and
pinellas
Avenue
instead
of
orange
street
and
according
to
Duke
I
did
check
in
with
them.
Either
of
these
locations
are
technically
feasible,
so
either
ones
okay.
So
it
really
comes
down
to
the
preference
of
the
board.
L
I
did
ask
Duke
about
the
feasibility
of
installing
Chargers
at
both
of
those
locations,
so
adding
a
fifth
charging
location,
but,
as
you
might
imagine,
this
program
got
popular
real,
quick
and
we
would
have
to
go
to
the
end
of
a
long
waiting
list.
Stick
to
add
a
fifth
location
but
changing
location
of
the
fourth
pre-approved
charger
is
not
a
problem,
so
we
got
into
the
program
early
and
I'm
glad
we
did
so
with
that
I'll
entertain
any
questions.
Thank.
A
You
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward
as
we
discuss
I
think
we
should
use
I
think
we
should
install
charging
stations
in
a
location.
There
will
be
more
useful
places
that
you
have
more
customers
to
use
it
and
I
believe
the
mears
parking
lot.
It
has
more
businesses,
you
got
tarpon,
tarpon,
avenue,
east
and
west.
You
have
north
and
south
in
all
of
us,
the
chamber
there,
so
you
have
more
users
that
I
think
will
be
more.
It
makes
more
sense
to
me
that
the
water
used
up
there,
no.
D
I
Mayor
I've
kind
of
got
a
different
view
on
this,
or
I
definitely
have
a
different
view
on
this.
We
have
a
very
limited
parking
in
downtown
right
now
and
we
have
the
electrical
plugins
already
on
Safford
and
in
between
Court
Street
and
lemon
Street.
So
we
have
two
Chargers
already
in
downtown
tarpon.
I
If
we
have
an
opportunity
to
have
the
fourth
location
and
may
recommend
that
we
look
at
possibly
Sunset
Beach
or
Craig
park
as
an
alternative
in
different
part
of
the
city
and
the
reason
I
bring
this
up
is
that
when
you
look
at
the
parking
spots,
it
only
allows
for
the
electric
car
parking
to
be
in
those
parking
spots.
So
me
driving
a
truck
that
takes
gasoline
and
there's
parking
taken
everywhere
and
there's
only
two
spots.
Technically
I
shouldn't
be
allowed.
I
Unless
we
see
more
of
a
demand
which
I
think
we
could
measure
that
potentially
on
how
much
is
actually
output
to
put
two
more
spaces
n,
which
I
would
be
completely
happy
to
do
as
long
as
we
see
the
man
for
it,
the
next
question
would
be
I
noticed
that
there's
two
at
each
one
of
the
locations-
and
we
just
put
one
end-
one
location
and
one
in
at
another
location,
or
do
they
have
to
have
two
at
each
location?
What.
L
I
It
so
or
even
the
Sponge
Docks
I
guess,
would
be
the
Sponge
Docks
Craig
park
or
Sunset
Beach
would
be
the
the
fourth
alternative,
because
those
are
areas
that
we
don't
have
something
already
and
I
think
that
would
be
an
opportunity
to
leverage
the
best
use
of
these
electrical
charging
stations.
No
further
comments.
A
I
A
F
I
have
to
agree,
those
Lots
downtown
are
very
busy
and
people
are
not
finding
those
Lots,
especially
the
Orange,
Street
and
Safford,
with
all
the
restaurants
around
so
I'd
like
to
look
at
the
possibility
of
possibly
Sunset
Beach,
which
is
within
the
city
and
is
owned
by
the
city.
But
you
know
more
convenient,
I,
think
for
visitors
and
our
business
owners.
Okay,
so.
L
A
Just
to
see
how
much
demand
that
we
have,
because
this
is
a
new
service,
most
people
don't
know
about
it.
Yeah,
but
I
again.
I
believe
that,
if
we're
going
to
provide
the
service,
it
should
be
providing
the
place
where
people
can
use
it.
If
it's
in
a
location
that
nobody
goes
there
other
that
go
swimming
or
picnic
or
something
like
that,
what
good
is
it
to
have.
L
F
F
L
I
Can't
speak
yeah.
These
aren't
intended,
though,
to
just
to
have
someone
come
charge,
your
car
every
night
as
a
recharge,
it's
more
of
the
server
as
a
availability
to
just
get
a
recharge
while
you're
visiting
a
business
or
at
the
this
would
be
at
the
splash
park
or
dog
park
or
City
Hall.
So
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
idea
just
to
be
prudent
from
the
city
to
look
at
these
alternative
locations,
and
then
we
can
make
a
final
decision
once
we
find
out
I'll.
L
So
in
brief,
a
monthly
lease
of
just
over
seven
thousand
monthly
lease
of
just
over
seven
thousand
dollars.
Duke
will
overhaul
the
existing
external
electrical
systems
here
at
City,
Hall
they'll,
add
an
upgrade
components
to
meet
current
code.
They'll
consolidate
the
five
power
meters
currently
serving
this
complex
into
one
meter
and
install
a
new
diesel,
fueled
generator
capable
of
powering
the
entire
complex
to
replace
the
existing
aging
under
sized
diesel
generator.
L
The
monthly
lease
is
to
be
paid
as
part
of
the
monthly
power
bill.
The
power
bill
at
City
Hall
is
currently
allocated
88%
to
the
general
fund
and
12%
to
Water
and
Sewer.
The
finance
department
did
an
evaluation
of
staffing
at
City
Hall
and,
as
a
result,
we're
recommending
adjusting
that
allocation
a
bit
to
70%
to
the
general
fund
25%
for
water
and
sewer
and
5%
for
sanitation.
L
I
I
D
I
L
I
L
About
a
250
kilowatt
generator
to
power
this
whole
complex,
that's
not
even
what
they're
putting
out
an
ro
doesn't
even
get
to
that
point.
I
think
they've
been
in
a
hundred
sixty
two
kilowatts
out
at
ro
without
storage.
So
obviously
we
don't
have
a
big
field
to
put
solar
powers
even
on
the
building
and
I.
Don't
think
we
get
the
footprint
that
we
could,
but
hey
that's
worth
looking
into
for
the
future.
Yeah.
I
I
would
like
to
encourage
it
in
the
future,
because
it's
one
of
those
aspects
that
I
think
it
makes
more
sense,
because
when
we
can
utilize
the
solar
panels
as
well
when
the
battery
pack
right
I
know
there's
it's
a
newer
technology
and
technology
is
gonna,
continue
to
refine
and
get
cheaper
and
get
better
as
years
go
by.
So
I'm
excited
to
see
what
progress
we
have
with
that.
I
It
is
an
important
aspect
to
keep
the
functions
of
the
city
running
and
I'm
happy
to
support
the
the
generator
it
does,
there's
a
cost
to
it
for
sure.
That's,
not
small,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
it's
imperative
to
have
power
and
electricity
here.
Can
you
touch
a
little
bit
too
on
the
size
of
the
diesel
thankin?
How
long
we
could
run
off
the
diesel
fuel
and
then
do
we
have
anything
set
up
as
a
backup
if
we
do
have
a
storm
of
some
sort
and
how
we
get
that
point
so.
L
F
N
A
A
L
They're
responsible
for
all
that,
and
they
were
responsible
for
running
the
generator
and
testing
it,
and
they
even
cover
the
fuel
when
they
test
it.
So
the
only
time
we
ever
have
any
cost
is
when
we
use
fuel
for
our
own
purposes,
for
backup
or
for
emergency
power.
Excuse
me
emergency
power
and
then
to
your
first
question.
L
The
question
is:
why
are
we
backing
up
the
other
facilities?
Well,
first
of
all,
the
City
Clerk's
office
will
provide
utility
billing
and
billing
services.
We
need
to
be
able
to
get
that
back
on
line
as
soon
as
we
can
after
a
storm,
so
they
provide
an
essential
function,
and
then
we
have
record
storage,
storage
of
Records,
keeping
them
dehydrated
and
air
conditioned
and
climate-controlled
keeps
those
records
safe.
That's
an
important
function,
and
it's
really
it's
not
a
huge
matter
to
include
that
building.
L
L
A
Just
do
it's
a
little
bit
of
information
or
Commission
the
course
that
about
having
solar
energy
panels?
That's
my
my
goal
here
that
always
be
every
building
that
it
has
that.
But
we
also
must
understand
that
low
with
the
batteries
you
have
to
have
a
convert.
You
convert
it
back
base
base.
Now
that's
another
cost
that
we
have
to
realize
that
calculated
into
the
clock.
A
F
A
Q
Q
2017
this
these
properties
were
cited
or
this
property
was
cited
for
properties
for
accumulation
of
debris.
There
were
two
liens
that
were
totaling:
seventy
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
ninety
eight
dollars
and
eighty
four
cents.
The
property
did
come
into
compliance
in
November
2018
and
at
that
time
and
mr.
trash
started
negotiations
with
the
property
owners
representative
to
come
to
some
sort
of
a
settlement
agreement
and
the
settlement
agreement
that
has
been
reached
is
to
is
for
payment
of
$38,000.
But
there
are
some
conditions.
Q
This
is
a
structured
a
little
bit
differently
than
most
of
the
code
enforcement
settlements
that
we
present
to
you.
So
there
would
be
both
Lian's
would
be
settled
for
$38,000.
However,
payment
must
be
made
to
the
city
within
150
days
of
the
Commission's
approval.
Should
you
choose
to
do
so?
If
payment
is
not
made
within
150
days,
the
fines
were
are
going
to
revert
to
the
original
lien
amounts,
which
is
the
seventy
three
thousand
one
hundred
ninety
eight
dollars
and
84
cents.
Q
There
are
additional
terms
with
this
that
governed
the
partial
releases
anytime,
a
property
is
sold,
the
city
will
take
75
percent
of
the
net
sale
or
the
net
proceeds
from
the
sale
of
the
property
and
apply
it
towards
the
liens.
This
can
only
be
done
in.
Let
cannot
be
done
if
there
are
only
two
remaining
properties
left.
However,
that
way
it's
structured,
so
the
city
gets
paid
every
time
a
property
is
sold
and
I
can
answer
any
questions
of
you.
I
Q
Worth
closing
it
out
at
the
thirty-eight
thousand,
but
an
incremental
payment
to
the
city
based
on
the
sale,
the
net
proceeds
in
the
sale
of
the
properties.
So
if
one
property
sells
for
X
amount
of
dollars,
seventy
five
percent
of
those
net
proceeds
will
come
to
the
city
to
pay
down
the
38
and
dollars.
A
A
R

a
process
of
graduating

Thank

Thank

Karen
lemons,
economic
development
manager,
I'm
happy
to
be
here
to
present.
The
annual
report
for
CRA
state
statutes
require
that
cra-z
each
year
by
March
31st
report
on
their
activities
within
their
CRA.
So
we've
put
together
written
report
that
you
all
have
we
have
that
on
file
with
the
City
Clerk's
office,
and
then
tonight
it's
a
good
opportunity
to
give
an
update
on
the
activities
that
we've
had.
So
this
covers
fiscal
year
18,
which
is
October
2017
to
September
of
2018.
S
Just
for
some
background,
our
CRA
was
created
in
2001.
They
have
a
30-year
longevity,
so
it
would
sunset
in
2031
unless
extended,
the
goals
are
to
stimulate
redevelopment
right
of
revitalization
and
to
attract
private
investment
and
encourage
economic
growth.
We
looked
at
the
taxable
values
of
the
CRA
each
year
and
in
this
past
year
of
fiscal
year
18
it
actually
went
up
10%
from
the
previous
fiscal
year
that
compares
to
the
city
overall
values
going
up
7%.
So
we
had
a
pretty
good
year
within
the
CRA
general
business
activity.
S
We
had
21
business
openings
during
the
year
we
had
nine
closings
and
seven
expansions
and
relocations
of
those
nine
closings.
All
of
them
have
been
refilled
with
new
stores,
except
for
three
of
the
restaurants
and
I.
Think
that
points
out
to
a
healthy
business
climate
when
business
is
closed
for
several
different
reasons.
They're
quickly
filled
with
new
businesses
and
the
relocations.
We're
especially
happy
with
that
also
shows
a
healthy
business
climate.
S
Whenever
an
existing
business
is
expanding,
it
shows
it's
doing
well
and
they're
choosing
to
expand
here
and
relocate
here
and
remain
in
Tarpon
Springs,
so
new
businesses
that
are
coming
this
year,
some
have
opened
already.
Others
will
be
opening
at
some
point
this
year.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
a
couple
of
those
who
is
a
craft
distillery
or
happy
about
this
one.
S
For
a
couple
reasons,
number
one
it'll
be
the
city's
first
craft
distillery
that's
become
what
the
craft
brew
industry
was
several
years
ago
and
secondly,
it's
going
to
be
the
first
renovation
and
repurposing
of
one
of
our
sponge
warehouses
and
that's
been
one
of
our
goals.
It's
under
construction
right
now,
it's
on
all
19
right
across
from
where
yard
of
ale
used
to
be,
and
then
the
Thai
guys
338
East
lemon
Street.
This
is
an
old
warehouse
building.
S
That's
been
vacant
for
as
long
as
I've
been
here,
it's
across
the
street
from
Silver
King
and
right
next
door
to
Christopher
stills
art
studio,
the
Thai
guys
they
purchase
the
building.
So
we
have
an
on-site
local
owner
of
the
building.
Now
they're
going
to
be
renovating
it.
They
manufacture
and
distribute
ties
all
kinds
of
crazy
designer
ties
with
everything
you
can
imagine
they
make
so
we're
happy
to
bring
them
into
the
city
and
seeing
that
building
get
put
back
onto
the
industry
and
our
incentive
grants
are
continuing
to
do
really
well
for
us.
S
S
Here's
an
example
of
one
of
the
facade
grants
this
past
year,
and
this
is
the
list
of
the
restaurant
grants
that
we
have
approved.
If
you
look
at
a
couple
of
them,
kcq
barbecue,
as
you
know,
is
out
of
business
on
a
new
Cajun.
Creole
restaurant
is
going
in
there
and
then
Sweden's
bakery
is
now
Cafe
Poli.
But
the
strength
of
these
grants
is
that
when
you
award
these
grants
makes
the
building
turnkey
and
ready.
S
S
These
are
some
public
infrastructure
projects.
This
is
the
North
Safford
corridor.
This
was
completed
in
late
2017.
The
pavilion
that
was
put
in
this
is
the
Ring
Avenue
reconstruction
in
the
municipal
parking
lot.
This
was
completed
and
just
this
past
year
and
it's
about
25
new
parking
spaces,
the
alternate
19.
We
had
some
landscaping
improvements
that
were
done
on
the
South
portion
of
Pinellas
Avenue
that
was
completed
in
late
2017
and
the
new
signage
we're
currently
installing
new
historic
district
signs
at
35
intersections
that
are
within
the
CRE
and
within
the
historic
district.
S
Those
signs
are
two
purposes
are
only
one
beautification
and
number
two
to
show
that
this
is
a
historic
district
and
to
let
people
know
that
they
own
property
within
that
district,
that
they
have
certain
responsibilities
when
it
comes
to
upkeep
of
their
property,
and
then
the
wayfinding
signs
we're
currently
starting
a
bid
process
on
that
we'll
be
installing
11
of
those
new
Trailblazer
signs.
These
are
the
larger
ones.
There
are
four
of
them
that
will
be
in
the
CRA
and
they'll
be
going
throughout
the
city
this
year
and
then
some
of
the
residential
projects.
S
You
probably
recall
the
villages
of
tarp,
and
this
is
the
Tarpon
Springs
Housing
Authority
received
a
big
grant
to
renovate
for
housing
complexes.
Two
of
those
are
located
in
the
CRA
and
they
was
were
completed.
Late
2017
in
clip
revert
crossings.
These
were
10
condo
units
that
completed
this
project
along
the
Pinellas
trail
along
the
uncloak
River.
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
for
the
increase
in
the
taxable
values
throughout
the
district
and
then
to
new
single-family
homes
are
going
up
on
Orange
Street
with
detached
garages.
The
construction
is
ongoing
right
now.
S
This
is
fulfilling
one
of
our
goals
of
increasing
housing
in
our
downtown
and
then
just
down
the
street.
Here
on
Pine
and
Safford,
we've
got
two
apartment
buildings
that
are
going
up
with
six
units
in
those
two
buildings
and
again
helping
us
bring
people
living
downtown
and
helping
to
bridge
that
gap
between
the
Sponge
Docks
in
downtown
and
making
Saffir
to
have
into
a
nice
walkable
area.
S
The
Blue
Bayou
in
this
was
a
project
that
was
renovating.
It
was
used
to
be
the
Bavarian
Inn.
It's
been
undergoing
now
for
about
two
years.
It
is
now
complete.
It
is
gorgeous
I
would
encourage
you
to
stop
by
and
look
at
if
you
have
anybody
that's
coming
into
town.
This
is
a
beautiful
place
to
stay,
they
have
ten
rooms
and
it
just
opened
this
past
month.
S
The
lemon
street
trade
center
is
under
construction.
This
is
one
of
our
first
new
construction
projects
in
the
CRA.
It's
8,000
square
foot,
multi-tenant,
I'm,
light
industrial
building,
it's
going
to
be
bringing
new
jobs
to
the
city
and
again
within
walking
distance
of
our
downtown
and
on
the
lemon
street
corridor
that
we've
been
working
real
hard
of
it.
They
do
have
one
tenant
signed
up
there.
These
are
well-known
st.
Petersburg
artists
who
actually
have
moved
to
tarpon
springs
as
well
and
we'll
be
setting
up
their
studio
there.
S
This
is
Safford
Avenue
in
Center
Street,
and
we've
been
talking
about
this
project
for
some
time
they
do
have
their
building
permit.
I
saw
some
big
units
out
there,
so
they're
going
to
be
starting,
their
renovation
of
the
exterior
will
be
a
multi
tenant
building
with
office,
retail
and
opportunity
for
restaurant
Jesse's
garden.
Our
first
community
garden
opened
this
past
year.
We're
all
excited
about
that
and
then
our
festivals
and
events
continue
to
bring
people
downtown.
First
Friday
has
been
phenomenal.
S
S
The
picture
there
is
from
the
current
owner
of
the
larger
parcel
of
what
could
potentially
go
there,
that's
a
mixed
of
residential
with
office
and
a
cafe
and
then
the
manatee
Plaza.
This
is
where
the
only
Dixie
was
and
you're
all
familiar
with,
that
we've
been
working
with
forward
Pinellas
in
Pinellas
County
on
increasing
the
density
there.
The
owner
of
the
of
the
plaza
in
fact
was
here,
is
here
this
week
and
I
met
with
him.
Today
we
share
a
same
vision
for
that
which
is
complete.
S
So
we
are
working
through
the
process
of
increasing
the
density
so
that
it
could
be
a
mixed-use
of
residential
and
commercial
within
that
10
acres
and
then
the
alternate
18
quarter
in
general,
we've
been
targeting
underutilized
properties
and
some
of
the
older
plazas
and
looking
at
development
potential
for
those
and
then
two
more
things
that
are
administrative
and
procedure,
but
these
are
two
very
important
projects
for
us.
First,
is
our
CRA
Plan
Update,
that's
going
to
be
a
big
project
for
us
moving
forward.
Our
plan
was
adopted
in
2000,
so
that's
almost
20
years
ago.
S
The
plan
tells
you
the
activities
within
it.
It
tells
you
the
current
economic
environment,
why
the
CRA
was
formed
and
ideas
of
what
you
could
do
to
promote
redevelopment
well,
20
years
ago
our
city
has
changed
tremendously.
Our
economic
climate
has
changed.
We've
put
in
a
special
area
plan.
We
have
a
smart
code.
Zoning
code
there's
been
a
lot
of
changes,
so
if
we
are
going
to
take
our
CRA
and
our
activities
to
the
next
level,
which
is
what
we're
trying
to
do
now,
we
need
to
have
that
plan
updated.
S
Tarpon
springs
is
one
census
track.
There
are
16
within
Pinellas
County.
The
opportunity
zones
were
created
by
the
federal
tax
cuts
and
Jobs
Act,
that
Congress
passed
in
December
of
2017
and
what
they
are
is
our
census
tracts
that
are
deemed
to
be
underutilized
and
neglected.
If
you
will
economically
unstable,
it
provides
tax
benefits
to
people
who
invest
in
those
zones.
So
what
it
does
is
attract
investors
to
put
money
into
projects
that
are
funded
through
those
zones
and
it
provides
capital
then
for
people
to
undergo
projects,
whether
it's
the
manatee
Plaza.
S
We
have
lots
of
underutilized
parcels.
We
have
a
lot
of
empty
parcels
on
Safford
Avenue,
so
this
will
help
property
owners
attract
investors
who
are
looking
to
invest
their
money
because
they
can
either
defer
or
eliminate
capital
gains
taxes
if
they
invest
in
projects
in
these
areas,
so
Pinellas
County
just
put
together
a
phenomenal
website.
We
have
a
page
on
that.
That's
on
our
economic
development
webpage
and
it's
on
the
county's
page.
S
That's
promoting
all
the
opportunities
that
we
have
within
those
opportunities
zones,
so
we
have
been
working
as
we
meet
with
developers
and
Realtors
and
others
to.
Let
them
know
that
we
have
this
federal
designation
in
that
area
and
the
incentives
that
I
can
do
to
help
them
redevelop
their
properties.
S
A
Thank
you
for
the
update
has
been
proven
that
the
two
CRA
grants
that
we
have
the
facade
improvement
green
in
the
restaurant
accrue
and
they
are
very
successful.
We
were
able
to
a
beautifu
the
downtown
and
also
to
attract
businesses
to
downtown
as
well.
I
think
is
they're.
Both
mints
are
excellent
and
I
will
keep
supporting
them.
I
think
it's
good
for
the
city,
but
we
need
to
concentrate
more
to
beautify
Pinellas
having.
A
We
have
some
builders
that
we
need
to
work
with
the
with
the
owners,
property
owners
and
for
them
to
picked
up
ten
all
for
the
one
of
the
grants
for
them
purify
those
areas
also
to
be
able
to
install
the
landscaping
that
Commissioner
Khare
has
been
talking
about
it
broke
quite
a
while.
Now
we
need
to
concentrate
more
bringing
more
development
opportunities
to
West,
Hartford
Avenue
and
to
melody
Plaza
of
the
old
winn-dixie.
As
you
stated,
and
the
Old
Palace
restaurant
all
these
three
places
it
can
be
linmark
for
this
native
perpend
I.
A
F
S
As
soon
as
we
get
clarification
from
the
county
on
what
we
need
to
do
to
increase
that
density
or
what
they
need
to
do
to
get
the
density
or
if
they
aren't
able
to
do
it,
but
either
way,
they're
ready
to
move
forward
they've
got
they
own
the
plaza
outright.
They
have
had
some
interest
in
purchasing
it,
but
what
what
they
want
to
do
is
get
all
the
entitlements
in
place
so
nobody's
gonna,
buy
it
unless
I
know
exactly
what
can
they
build?
S
How
many
units
can
they
do
so
all
of
those
things
we're
working
through
now,
so
hopefully,
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
we
should
have
that
finalized
and
then
we'll
be
working
with
them,
but
it
was
nice
that
they
shared
the
same
vision
that
we
have
of
a
total
redevelopment
of
that
Plaza,
essentially
starting
over.
So
that's
the
way
that
they're
going
to
be
approaching
it
when
they
are
working
with
developers
who
want
to
purchase
it.
F
S
I've
met
with
with
several
and
then
I
refer
them
to
to
the
owners
and
then
we're
we're
in
that
position
then,
but
they
have
several
people
who
are
interested
so
as
soon
as
we
can
get
all
of
the
technical
specifications
in
place.
I
think
we'll
see
some
movement
there,
because
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
to
them
today,
we've
got
the
Mears
town
center,
that's
being
built,
we'll
have
them.
The
mirrors
roadway
going
through
we've
had
other
inquiries
on
that.
S
F
S
A
I
Karen,
thank
you
for
the
update
and
all
the
work
that
you
do
for
our
community.
It's
great
to
see
a
thriving
area
within
the
CRA
district.
That's
obviously
the
board
at
the
time
had
a
dream
and
I
think
it's
coming
forward
year
after
year,
just
bits
and
pieces
which
is
great
to
see
this
past
year,
all
the
different
pieces
that
were
able
to
add
to
and
within
a
CRA.
What's
the
current
balance
of
the
CRA
Danya.
I
Something
that
I
think
to
talk
about
and
then
we're
heading
towards
budget
season.
We
could
look
at
additional
CRA
funds
and
looking
at
general
funds
or
other
aspects
as
well,
but
I
think
it
would
probably
be
good
and
I've
talked
about
this
and
other
meetings
to
look
at
a
parking
garage
somewhere
within
the
downtown
district,
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
where
that
could
be
pinpointed.
But
I
know,
we've
talked
to
staff
multiple
times.
I
haven't
gotten
an
update
at
all
about
it.
I
Easily
so
it
would
be
nice,
since
this
falls
within
this
here,
a
to
use
CRA
funds,
or
at
least
partially
CRA
funds
again
additional
grants.
I
can
encourage
development
on
the
west
end
of
Tarpon
Avenue
or
if
it
could
be
just
redevelopment
that
could
tag
along
with
the
opportunity
area
that
you
mentioned.
Thank
you
for
spearheading.
D
I
And
making
sure
that
we
get
that
here
and
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
I
think
that's
a
great
asset
to
have
again.
You
also
brought
up
the
historic
signs
that
we
have
at
the
four-way
stops
or
stop
signs
I
think
we
also
need
to
look
at
the
secondary
signs.
The
no
parking
this
side
of
the
street
yield
signs.
I
So
we've
got
these
beautiful
assets
that
we've
added
to
our
city,
but
we
still
need
to
come
back
behind
and
clean
up
the
secondary
side
of
it.
So
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
to
do
that
as
well
over
2019
and
then
to
finish
off
just
some
discussions
for
continuing
growth
and
the
encouragement
of
other
businesses
is
looking
at
some
type
of
sign
that
could
go
over
the
bike
trail
that
can
mimic
a
railroad
crossing
of
some
sort.
I
know
before
I
was
elected.
I
So
maybe
we
look
at
doing
something
across
Safford
and
where
the
bike
trail
is
today
and
I,
don't
want
to
necessarily
say:
let's
do
what
Dunedin
does,
but
we've
got
something
similar
I
think
it's
about
from
some
type
of
freedom,
the
honors
veteran
right
across
areas
and
I'm,
not
really
sure
what
I
could
say,
but
it's
it
brings
character
and
it
brings
I
think
it
will
encourage
some
growth
also
into
our
downtown
area.
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
ideas
I'm
thinking
about
for
2019,
although
this
is
a
2018.
