Heavenly
Father,
as
the
citizens
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs,

our
local
concerns
and
opportunities.
We
give
thanks
to

for
the
bounty
that
we

in
all
aspects
of
our
community
life
and
for
the
peace

We

strive
for
excellence
in
our
endeavours
to

the

grant
us
peace
in
our
world
and

between
all
people.
To
your
greater
glory.
This
we
pray,
amen,
I,.
A
Would
like
to
announce
that,
due
to
the
health
crisis
that
we
are
facing
and
to
being
compliance
with
the
governor
disentis
and
the
Pinellas
County
Executive
Orders,
along
with
following
the
CDC
guidelines,
the
tarpon
springs.
Boc
meetings
will
be
conducted
by
a
video
conferencing
in
providing
the
public
comments.
Until
such
a
such
time,
the
orders
have
been
lifted.
A
B
Yes,
we've
received
one
email.
Thank
you.
This
is
dated
April
13th
of
2020,
it's
my
mayawati
sakuya's
595
Peninsula
Avenue
Tarpon,
Springs
Florida,
dear
citizens
of
Tarpon
Springs
on
March
17th,
the
chorus
ordered
a
state
of
emergency
tarpon
springs
due
to
cope
in
nineteen,
which
was
DeSantis,
ordered
a
state
of
emergency
for
the
state
of
Florida.
Multiple
sources
have
reported
to
me
that
mark
lockers
and
department
heads
were
already
self
quarantine,
with
local
benefits
to
its
prior
to.
B
B
March
30th
I
was
reading,
so
many
complaints
from
sources
that
are
essential
city
personnel
safety
was
being
ignored.
That
I
was
forced
to
voice
their
concerns.
These
essential
City
Latin
workers
were
working
full-time,
exposing
themselves
and
their
families
to
the
risk
of
kovat
19
I
felt
it
was
my
duty
to
send
an
email
at
10:44
p.m.
on
March
3rd
to
the
commissioners
mayor
city
manager.
B
Asking
that
me
immediately
addressed
these
dangerous
shifts
of
our
central
city
personnel
I
requested
that
the
personnel
be
broken
up
into
smaller
crews
and
that
they
be
permitted
to
be
on
call
for
their
homes
for
emergencies.
Only
obviously
I
couldn't
come
up
with
those
suggestions
all
by
myself,
let
that
sink
in
while
this
pandemic
was
ravaging.
Our
country,
I,
was
stunned
to
see
mark
swimming
in
his
kiddie
pool
on
March
30th
at
4
p.m.
while
on
a
ride,
while
the
essential
workers
hadras
noticed
any
shift.
B
Changes
on
March
31st,
a
city
manager
finally
addressed
our
essential
city
personnel
and
took
their
safety
into
consideration,
and
only
after
he
received
my
email
on
March
30th
for
three
weeks
mark
the
course
and
department
heads
were
self
quarantine.
While
our
essential
city
workforce
was,
we
need
leadership
by
example,
and
we
need
leadership
that
does
not
sit
in
a
kiddie
pool
on
our
taxpaying
monies,
I
hope
everyone's
been
safe
during
this
time
of
crisis
and
doing
their
best
to
social
distance.
B
G
B
Fellow
tarpon
heights,
it's
time
to
address
one
removal
of
the
old
guard
to
breaking
up
the
good
old
boy
network
has
plagued
our
city
for
half
a
century
three
double-dipping
from
our
taxpayer
dollar
for
unqualified
city
management.
If
you
don't
have
the
transcripts
to
prove
it.
Five,
an
over
funded
police
department
that
drains
us
taxpayers,
which
goes
back
to
the
city
manager,
the
General
Order
policies.
Our
police
officers
commit
without
consequences.
B
Seven,
our
corrupted
internal
affairs
system
in
our
police
department,
eight
bogus
executive
pensions,
we
turbo
Knights,
are
suffering
to
pay
and
making
sure
no
corrupt
officer,
25-year
employment
mark.
So
we've
it
isn't
suffered
to
paying
a
pension
for
life
to
undeserving
officers,
nine
port
enforcement,
seizing
property
of
the
port
for
the
good
old
boy
network
and
their
underlying
real
estate
agenda;
ten
code
enforcement
harassing
and
picking
on
certain
citizens
because
of
vendetta's
eleven
premiums.
B
We
citizens
pay
on
water
and
waste
management
that
can
be
reduced
well,
using
social
to
be
more
transparent
with
our
citizens
than
ever.
Instead
of
posting
pizzas
for
Hugo.
Thirteen
importantly
saving
here
in
taxpayer
dollar,
for
you,
tarpon
Knights,
by
receiving
one
expense
at
a
time
with
the
four
minutes
were
up
and
the
rest
of
this
will
be
as
an
exhibit
to
the
minutes.

So

D
I've
grown

lot
and
been
more
involved
with
a
community
than

I've
always

busy
after
tonight's,
although
I
do
plan
to
take
more
time
for
myself
to
be
with
myself
and
my
family.
D
We've
had
many
significant
improvements
and
changes
in
Tarpon
Springs
in
the
past.
Six
years,
one
of
our
most
significant
hires
has
been
our
economic
development
manager,
Karen
lemons
we've
helped
many
new
businesses,
restaurants
and
breweries,
open
thanks
to
grants
and
incentives.
Karen
proposed
that
were
passed.
Do
you
remember
what
our
historic
tarpon
springs
looked
like
six
years
ago,
I
sure
do
there
was
a
little
1925
historic
building
on
Safford
that
was
purchased
and
transformed
into
a
restaurant
with
30
beers
on
tap,
while
keeping
its
historic
character.
D
We
now
have
several
breweries,
restaurants
and
new
shops
downtown
that
have
helped
make
a
difference
in
addition
to
the
redevelop
redevelopment
of
downtown
we've
had
many
other
accomplishments.
These
past
six
years
native
to
our
state
of
the
art
to
reverse
osmosis
plant
opens
our
dog
park.
Splash
park
and
outdoor
exercise
area
was
built
and
later
our
kayak
launch
opens
close,
was
built
and
opened.
Walmart

Kmart
site.
I
stayed

fire
start
station.
71
was
built
and
opened.
D
The
launching
of
the
research
vessel
WT
Hogarth
happened
on
5:17.
We
negotiated
a
long-term
lease
with
Advan
health,
which
will
now
result
in
a
state-of-the-art
hospital
for
tarpon
springs.
I
initiated
our
first
community
garden
Jessie's
garden
and
has
been
very
successful
thanks
to
all
the
wonderful
volunteers
who
helped
me
get
the
project
started
and
continue
to
make
it
successful.
I
was
also
honored
to
be
invited
to
New
York
City
to
represent
peace
for
tarpon
and
tarpon
springs
to
speak
on
a
panel
of
cities
thrive
conference
on
mental
health.
D
That
was
quite
a
memorable
and
official
experience,
we're
all
so
close
to
cook
the
completion
of
the
Mears
extension
plan,
which
I
ran
on
we've,
had
a
balanced
budget
since
2015,
and
we
survived
Irma,
there's
more
that
I've,
forgotten,
I'm
sure,
but
I.
Don't
think
you
all
want
to
listen
to
me
all
night.
We've
also
had
a
significant
amount
of
residential,
develop
residential
development
and
beautification
projects.
More
recently,
I've
been
meeting
with
a
small
group
of
merchants
on
Sponge
Docks
and
listened
to
their
concerns
and
needs.
D
Thanks
to
our
city,
manager
and
town
function,
our
Director
of
Public
Works.
There
was
some
improvements
made
that
were
much
needed.
The
street
lights
on
dodoka
days
were
not
working
and
were
repaired.
We
had
banners
hung,
none
had
been
up
there
before
Athens
street
had
lighting
installed
around
the
poles.
We
have
new
street
signs
written
in
English
and
Greek.
We
have
new
business
signs
for
Athens,
and
the
West
and
Japanese
can
help
support
our
business
owners
in
those
areas
and
the
reopening
of
Zorba's
is
being
completed.
D
We
had
eleven
closed
businesses
on
Athens
Street
not
too
long
ago,
and
now
we
have
three
remaining
I
have
to
commend
the
Merchants
Association.
We
had
had
first
tree
lighting
with
the
city
and
our
first
Christmas
event,
Christmas
on
the
docks
sponsored
by
the
Merchants
Association
I.
Also
commend
you
know
the
Merchants
Association
for
what
they
do
for
our
city,
not
only
to
bring
visitors
to
tarpon
springs,
but
also
to
make
it
more
fun
for
our
residents.
D
We
add
a
lot
of
new
events,
while
I
was
president
of
the
Merchants
Association
and
they
continue
to
add
more
events
like
our
very
popular
First
Fridays,
their
earnings
after
expenses
go
to
marketing
our
city,
which
is
much
needed
as
a
business
owner.
This
is
a
great
organization
to
help
and
belong
to.
I
also
want
to
commend
our
volunteers.
Our
public
arts
committee
we've
had
some
beautiful
additions
to
the
city.
I
initiate
the
idea
of
adding
arts
to
the
roundabout
at
the
West
End
vote,
okones
as
an
attraction
and
it
as
a
piece
of
art.
D
Thanks
to
the
committee,
we
have
the
beautiful
Nyad
sitting
on
greek
stone
important
from
calling
this.
The
mermaid
emma
is
also
a
beautiful
addition,
a
great
part
plus
our
bicycle
racks,
all
over
town
and
our
most
recent
addition,
Christopher
stills
arts
on
the
Marquise
building,
a
congratu
I
congratulate
all
of
our
volunteer
boards
for
their
service
and
wisdom
and
I'm
happy
that
we
plan
on
showing
them
our
gratitude
annually
live
in
events,
which
is
something
I
asked
for
it.
D
I
am
honored
to
have
worked
with
our
accredited
fire
department
and
Police
Department
I
will
miss
working
with
you.
Some
of
you
have
become
my
friends
and
many
of
you,
including
chief
Scott,
and
she
achieved
coaching
I've
become
my
friends.
I
was
honored
to
go
to
the
Florida
law
enforcement
accreditation
ceremony
last
year
and
see
our
Police
Department
received
their
award.
I
will
miss
so
many
things.
D
First
of
all,
our
amazing
and
dedicated
employees,
all
our
department
heads
have
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
and
I
respect
all
of
them
and
feel
like
we're
friends,
our
city
clerk,
Department
and
all
of
our
and
all
of
your
Halloween
parties
and
beautiful
employees.
Irene
and
Michelle.
You
are
the
best
I
have
so
much
fun.
Having
so
many
fond
memories
of
our
delegation
to
Greece
exactly
two
years
ago,
with
both
of
you,
the
mayor
vice
mayor,
David,
banter
and
his
wife,
my
sister
and
I
will
never
forget
it.
D
I
will
also
miss
annually
for
City
Conference,
six
of
its
annual
City
League
conferences
that
I've
attended
the
past
six
years.
Not
only
we
gotta
learn
a
lot,
but
I
was
happy
to
meet
city
officials
from
all
over
the
state
of
Florida
and
to
make
friends
with
many
of
our
Pinellas
County
officials,
and
that
was
always
a
joy
to
me.
D
A
Keep
coming
super
I
would
like
to
congratulate
year.
We
didn't
always
agree
in
some
things,
but
as
a
team
as
the
Board
of
Commissioners,
who
accomplished
a
lot,
we
completed
many
projects,
as
you
already
stated,
with
a
balanced
budget
without
using
any
of
the
reserves
and
we
actually
reduced
the
millage
twice.
A
G
G
You've
done
a
good
job
and
we
appreciate
everything
all
the
contributions
that
you've
made
unluck,
we
said
I,
say
oftentimes
that
as
a
board,
if
we
can
all
play
to
our
strengths,
you
know
we'll
be
a
really
strong
board
and
I
feel
like
you
offered
a
lot
in
your
strengths
as
it
relates
to
your
relationships
with
the
merchants
and
the
business
owners
and
I.
Think
that
that's
not
something
that
can
be
overlooked,
especially
as
we're
in
a
time
like
this,
with
the
co
big
crisis,
and
so
many
of
our
businesses
and
merchants
are
closed.
G
You
know
you
kind

positively
to
the

bring
the

B
A
I
A
A
G
I
just
want
to
congratulate
both
commissioners.
I
feel
like
I'm,
have
a
unique
position
and
serving
with
both
of
you
as
as
and
I
grew
up
with
Commissioner
Khare

then

inverse

Batiatus
his
sons
and
have
fond
memories

both.
So
welcome
to
the
board
commissioner,
vatikiotis
and
Commissioner
Khare
before
to
continue
serving
with
you

look
forward
to
at
least
two
more
productive
years,
while
I
serve
on
this
board
with
all
of
you.
So
congratulations
to
both
and
hope.
We
can
keep
on
doing
good
things.
G
J
Thanks
mayor
for
someone
and
vice
mayor,
thank
you
for
the
kind
words
I
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
the
the
residents
for
the
opportunity
to
serve
as
commissioner
for
the
past
three
years,
it's
been
an
honor
to
serve
it's
truly
a
servant's
role
to
be
here
and
to
represent
the
residents
and
the
business
owners
of
Tarpon,
Springs
and
I.
Also
like
to
thank
you
for
trusting
in
me
to
represent
you
for
another
three
years.
My
hairline
has
gotten
further
back
since
the
last
time.
I
was
sworn
in.
J
J
We've
seen
improvements
with
the
city's
relationships
through
the
different
levels
of
government
from
the
county
state
and
federal
funding
for
projects
throughout
tarpon
springs.
One
thing
that
we've
done
is
also
expanding
the
scope
of
state
and
county
projects,
and
this
is
done
with
the
collective
of
the
board
and
overall
we've
seen
additional
sidewalk
repairs
and
roadways.
Repaved
and
additional
crosswalks
added
for
pedestrian
safety
throughout
tarpon
springs.
We've
seen
our
County
Parks
improved
through
our
community
through
our
communications
and
relationships
with
the
county
staff.
J
We've
seen
that
exterior
renovation
of
the
cultural
center,
which
is
overdue,
we've
seen
many
improvements
to
sunset
beach,
we've
seen
Little
League,
the
Little
League
field
fully
renovated.
Last
year
we've
seen
historic
street
signs
added
to
the
historic
district.
We've
got
updated,
design
gateway
signs
that
are
yet
to
be
installed,
but
they
plan
on
being
aesthetically.
The
next
year
we've
expanded
the
water
line
and
sewer
line
replacements,
we've
added
quarterly
newsletter,
we've
gotten
quarterly
newsletters
to
the
water
bills.
We've
extended
the
hospital
lease
and
then
we've
also
lowered
tax
rate.
J
So
I
just
want
to
say,
I
think
it's
been
a
great
three
years.
It's
really
truly
been
an
honor
I.
Do
look
forward
to
the
next
three
years
and
I
think
there's
some
goals
that
we
should
set
as
a
board,
and
there
was
a
few
things
that
I
would
like
to
encourage.
The
board
to
look
at
one
is
I
believe
that
we're
in
desperate
need
of
a
parking
garage
in
downtown
to
serve
our
businesses
and
serve
our
residents
and
visitors
as
I
visit
tarpon
springs.
The
second
one
would
be
connecting
to
buy
you.
J
The
Craig
park
walk
path
out
to
the
sunset
beach.
Today,
we've
got
a
lot
of
riprap
Rock,
that's
around
South,
Spring
Boulevard.
There's
an
opportunity
I
think
to
make
a
nice
trail
fully
out
to
Sunset,
Beach
and
expand.
Our
recreation
third
would
be
extending
distant
Belcher
to
Mears.
This
is
an
important
part.
J
K
F
Thank
You
mayor
I
just
have
a
couple
of
comments.
I
simply
wish
to
thank
my
wife,
dolly
and
my
children
for
encouraging
the
Commission
also
wish
to
thank
all
of
my
friends
and
supporters
for
getting
the
word
out
that
helped
put
me
in
office
I'm
honored,
to
be
here
and
to
have
their
trust
I'm.
Also
looking
forward
to
working
with
this
current
board,
I
was
once
told
that
politics
is
the
art
of
compromise.
F
I
hope
we
all
remember
that
as
we
work
together
in
making
Karpin
Springs
better
I
know
we
won't
always
agree,
and
but
hopefully
the
right
decision
will
have
been
made
as
a
board.
I,
don't
have
much
to
say
right
now
about
what
I
wish
to
do.
I
would
simply
prefer
to
get
on
with
doing
so.
With
that
thought,
it's
back
to
you
mayor.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I.
A
Would
like
to
congratulate
you
in
your
reelection.
The
people
have
spoken
and
we
there
we
all
confident
that
you
will
continue
to
serve
us
well,
the
next
three
years.
Congratulations
I
also
like
to
thank
Susan
Hills
for
her
willingness
to
serve
the
people
of
Tarpon,
Springs
and
I'm
very
happy
that
she
will
continue
to
serve
the
people
of
Tarpon
Springs
on
the
budget.
Advisory
Committee
she's
do
an
excellent
job.
There
I
also
like
to
congratulate
and
to
welcome
our
new

mr.
A
L
C
A
B
Please
Commissioner
Khare
I,

you
on
your
reelection
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you
for
another
three
years.
Commissioner
vatikiotis
I
congratulate
you
on
your
election
and
in
the
past.
I've
worked
with
commissioner
of
an
accessibility
director
and
in
my
tenure,
I've
also
worked
with
him
as
a
city
manager
and
look
forward
to
working
with
him.
As
a
commissioner.
A
A
We
are
now
going
to

Any
of
the
items
that
you
like
to
pull
I
hear
none
any
comments
from
any
Commission
comments.
I
hear
none
a
whiie
ago
we
go
to
the
public
comments.
Miss
Jacobs
have
we
received
any
emails
on.
This
item
receive
no
emails.
H
G
A
J
Man,
yes,
I
would
just
like
to
ask
for
consideration
of
vice
mayor
I
know.
This
is
no
disrespect.
Vice
mayor,
Tara,
pani
I
have
served
the
board
over
the
past
three
years
and
have
been
reelected
for
another
three
years.
I'm
considered
the
senior
commissioner
on
the
board
now
and
I
like
the
consideration
from
the
board
a
vice
mayor,
if
you
so
move
I
think
I've
worked
my
hardest
above
and
beyond.
What's
asked
of
me,
I
know
it's
a
part-time
role,
but
I
do
really
look
at
as
a
full-time
role.
J
A
We
are
now
going
to
select
the
vice
mayor.
You
know
selecting
the
vice
mayor,
it's
not
the
easiest
direction.
These
is
decision.
All
four
commissioners
are
very
good
servants
and
that
everyone
who
loves
the
city
and
the
people
of
TARP
or
Springs
what
I
would
be
looking
for
to
make
this
to
make.
The
recommendation
is
Commission
that
it
has
the
most
experience
to
serve
as
a
vice
mayor
and
a
commissioner
who
is
always
in
town
and
available
to
serve
our
citizens
as
as
I
do
always
present.
G
K
Yeah
Thank
You
mayor
again.
Thankfully,
we
haven't
really
needed
the
services
of
a
vice
mayor.
So
far
since
I've
been
on
the
board,
although
vice
mayor,
Tara,
Fanny's
leadership,
has
been
appreciated.
That
being
said,
I
really
appreciate
the
way
that
Commissioner
Khare
prepares
for
meetings,
I
think
yes,
great
questions
I
would
gladly
support
and
revise
in
there.
Thank.
A
You
I
would
like
to
ask
a
question
to
Commission
the
car
Commissioner
Khare,
one
of
the
things
that
I
will
looking
for
as
the
commissioners
is
always
in
town
and
available
to
serve
our
citizens.
Do
you
work
in
in
town
that
you'd
be
available?
If
you
know,
if
you
get
a
phone
call
to
come
and
to
cover
for.
J
So,
from
the
same
point
I,
my
occupational
din
Clearwater
I
do
take
phone
calls
throughout
the
day,
though,
as
I'm
able
to
at
work
I'm
able
to
break
loose
from
meetings
as
well,
which
I
do
currently
and
I
make
up
time
at
my
work
after
hours
or
on
the
weekend
when
so
needed.
So
I
know
the
staff
I
reached
out
to
them
throughout
the
the
week
throughout
the
day.
So
I
am
available
for
meetings
if
needed
and
I'm
happy
to
serve
if
needed
as
well
in
Tarpon
Springs.
A
Okay,
honestly
I
think
both
of
you
commissioned
Tara,
peony
and
yourself,
Commissioner,
Khare
I,
think
both
of
you
are
very
well
qualified
I,
like
both
of
you,
you
both
are
very
responsible
commissioners
and
I
wish.
I
can
have
chill
instead
of
one
two
commissioners,
so
I'm
gonna
I'm,
going
to
ask
for
a
motion.
F
I
appreciate
your
your
interest
in
having
someone
available
in
the
circumstance
that
you're,
not
there
I
think
whatever
your
preference
is
going
to
be
mayor
is
the
way
I
would
go
I
think
historically,
and
it's
been
done
where
the
mayor
taking
the
lead
on
who
he'd
like
as
vice
mayor,
so
I
really
don't
have
anything
more
to
offer
than
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
well,
as
I
said
earlier.
I
think
both
Camille
are
very
well-qualified
to
me,
they're
very
well
responsible,
a
very
knowledgeable,
so
I
will
recommend
Commissioner
Khare
being
that
the
Commission
Tara
penny
already
has
served
twice
as
the
committee
as
a
vice
mayor,
so
Commissioner
Khare
hat
will
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
as
well.
B
E
J
A
You
know
I,
think
and
again
I
want
to
thank
Commission
Cara
Patti.
He
did
an
excellent
job
as
a
vice
mayor.
Twice
working
with
me
and
I
mean
I,
couldn't
ask
for
any
better,
so
I'm
sure
you'll
be
just
as
good
and
I.
Think
Commissioner
Jarry
pan
will
be
there
helping
you.
If
we
need.
You
know
if
you
can't
make
it
or
for
some
reason
we
need
another
first.

Thanks
mayor
Commissioner,
Terry,
penny
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
serving
on
this
board
for
the
past
year.
I
know
serving
on
county
boards
is
a
difficult
thing
to
juggle
at
times
with
running
a
business
having
a
growing
family
and
serving
as
a
commissioner
as
well
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service
and
your
time
that
you've
dedicated
to
this
board
down
in
the
county
and
representing
tarpon
springs.
I
also
would
support
Commissioner
Donovan
to
fill
this
role.
J
I
think
you'd
be
a
great
asset
to
the
three
cities
and
I
think
you'd,
be
a
great
voice
for
tarpon
springs
representing
the
city
at
Ford
Canales.
This
is
a
board
that
allocates
a
significant
amount
of
funds
through
grants
throughout
the
county
and
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
I
think
you
do
a
great
job
voicing
the
need
for
those
funds
that
come
up
to
tarpon
springs.
G
Don't
have
any
issues
more
supporting
Commissioner
Donovan
in
this
role.
I
think
he'd
be
good
for
it.
It
was.
It
was
a
great
experience
for
me.
I
wish
I
would
have
would
have
been
able
to
contribute
more,
but
sometimes
it
can
be
tough
to
to
leave
town
with
on
the
daily
basis,
with
what
all
we
have
going
on
so
happy
to
support.
Commissioner
Donovan
in
this
role.
K
F
You
mayor
I
wish
to
thank
Commissioner
Terry
penny
for
the
last
two
years.
I
believe
that
he's
been
on
there
actually
one
year
that
he's
been
on
the
representing
the
city
and
also
I,
think
Commissioner
Bob
Donovan
would
be
an
excellent
choice.
I
do
want
to
confirm
and
I
believe
the
city
manager
can
do
this
at
our
term.
Is
it's
a
shared
seat,
so
our
term
for
hosting
that
C
expires
in
January,
2021
I?
Believe
that's
the
case
mayor
can
mister
the
course
respond
to
that
for
the
purpose
of
everybody's
information.
Yeah.
F
L
F
Got
eight
meetings
laughs,
commissioner,
Donovan
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best
for
putting
those
to
the
best
use.
I
know
next
week
we're
gonna
have
a
work
session,
I
believe
that's
still
planned
and
there's
a
couple
of
projects
that
I'd
like
to
float
for
your
consideration
to
take
to
you,
the
Ford
and
Alice
meetings.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
Commission
Tara
Penney
and
thank
you
for
serving
on
this
board,
which
is
so
it's
so
important
to
our
economic
development
and
I,
want
to
thank
Commission
Donna
the
full
accepting
this
appointment.
You
are
to
represent
not
only
the
city
of
topper
Springs,
but
Safety,
Harbor
and
all
summer
as
well.
Thank
you.
B
H
J
B
I
A
A
A
K
A
A
A
F
A
B
A
K
H
A
L
So
what
I
want
to
talk
about
first
before
I
get
to
the
money
is
the
second
portion
of
the
eligibility.
Let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
first
screening
product
project
that
we
sat
down
and
screen
these
applications
and
the
intent
that
we
thought
we
had
with
these
grants.
And
then
we
need
to
talk
about
what
your
intent
with
these
grants
were.
L
L
And
again,
we
just
finished
the
review,
a
review
and
then
a
look
at
those
facts
got
these
numbers
ready
for
you,
and
you
know
we're
ready
tomorrow
morning
to
start
the
process
and
of
these
at
least
get
the
first
batch
of
checks
out
on
Friday,
we'll
be
completing
all
the
processes
and
hopefully
getting
the
second
batch
of
checks
out
the
next
Friday
right
now.
The
process
where
we
are
is
87.
L
They
will
be
in
this
first
batch
of
checks,
but
you
know
we
know
when
their
eligibility
was,
we
know
when
they
got
in
so
we
need
to
work
with
these.
Some
of
them
are
rather
long
time,
and
we
probably
should
that
that
if
we
were
gonna,
if
we
were
going
to
go
off
the
standard,
if
you
had
to
have
one
to
probably
have
a
time
frame,
because
some
of
these
go
three
or
five
years
and
some
have
never
got
one.
L
So
we've
got
a
wide
range,
those
things
from
something
they're
just
late,
but
there's
21
of
those
that
we
got
a
we
got
a
get
set
to
see
if
they
can
get
their
selves
up
to
date
on
it.
So
if
you
look
at
those
two
figures,
there's
a
hundred
and
eight
in
the
pipeline
right
now
now
the
category
that
we
need
to
talk
about-
and
we
talk-
need
to
talk
about
the
interpretation.
The
grant
is
the
applications
than
these
first
door
rounds
that
we
said
we're
not
eligible.
L
Obviously
there
are
some
surprisingly
there
are
some
duplicate
applicants.
I
I,
don't
know
if
they
want
to
make
sure
their
application
got
in
the
first
time,
but
they
sent
some
duplicates.
Then
those
are
easy.
We
know
those
don't
apply
in
the
number
of
seventeen
there's,
also
ones
that
are
not
located
in
the
city
limits
very
easy.
L
They
don't
apply
the
home-based
businesses,
despite
what
it
said
on
on
the
application,
home-based
businesses
put
in
and
they're,
not
out
to
cool
I,
don't
quite
know
if
I'd
add
a
little
more
time
now
to
try
to
look
out
of
those
70s.
How
many
are
those
that
there's
no
question
on
I
would
say
maybe
15
or
20
of
those
or
like
that.
So
there
may
be
50
that
we
need
to
talk
about
in
this
next
category
and
that's
the
category
that
will
review
them.
L
We
looked
at
the
standards
of
the
grant
where
we
talked
about
restaurants,
retail,
the
front
facing
businesses,
but
the
second
criteria
we
looked
at
and
it's
and
it
said
in
the
application,
referred
to
the
governor's
order.
The
county's
order
we
looked
at,
which
ones
were
were
deemed
non-essential
businesses
and
they
were
actually
closed
by
the
act
and
if
they
weren't,
if
they
were
still
an
essential
business
and
they
were
left
to
be
opened,
we
didn't
put
them
into
that
category
now.
This
goes
a
wide
range
of
places.
These
are
developers.
These
are
construction
people.
L
These
are
the
trades
plumbers,
plumbers,
electricians
and
a
lot
of
other
ones.
In
that
thing,
if
the
intent
of
the
of
the
grant
and
your
intent
when
you
approved
it,
was
not
to
draw
the
line
at
the
at
the
criteria,
would
you
see
on
the
sheet
of
all
the
businesses
that
were
closed
and
deemed
non-essential
by
the
governor
and
therefore
we're
closed
down?
L
If
that's
expanded,
then
we
could
have
as
many
as
50
or
more
these
people
that
may
be
eligible
now,
some
of
them,
some
that
are
question
marks,
like
one
I
know,
put
in
for
four
different
ones,
for
different
business.
Obviously
only
one
of
those
four
would
qualify.
That's
why
I'm
thinking
the
numbers
more
in
the
4550
range
I
may
be,
but
but
we
have
to
contend
with
those
what
we
really
meant
by
it
and
does
the
people
still
up
for
the
tax
preparation
office,
which
wasn't
closed
by
the
governor's
order
of
the
county
order.
L
They
were
deemed
essential,
they're
still
operate,
you
know,
would
they
be
eligible
because,
obviously
every
business,
no
matter
if
things
are
not
essential,
there's
probably
some
effect
to.
Would
that
be
one
that,
in
your
mind,
there's
a
local
business
that
meet
the
other
criteria
that
should
be
in
there
a
construction
company,
no
public,
goes
to
God
and
do
construction
projects.
Would
that
be
one
that
you
would
say
that
you
intended
to
be
in
this
grant?
Why
we
have
to
look
at
those
is
if
that
number
is
about
50.
L
That
would
bring
our
numbers
up
to
close
to
150
ish
I
originally
said:
I
was
thinking
asking
for
fifty
more
thousand
dollars,
but
obviously,
if
those
were
added
in
and
the
criteria
was
expanded
a
little
bit,
we
meet
that
150
now
and
we
still
got
as
of
as
of
today.
There
is
34
applications
that
we
I've
gone
through
on
the
face
of
it.
We
see
some
of
those
that
are
businesses
that
are
not
in
the
city.
We
see
some.
You
know
we
see
some
disqualifications
of
that
one.
L
L
A
J
L
Yet
because
we
haven't
made
a
final
decision,
that's
why
Friday
we
did
the
agenda
I
put
the
qualifications
on
there,
because
I
didn't
want
to
get
to
the
point
until
I
went
over
with
this
board
again
what
your
expectations,
the
qualifications
are.
That's
one
of
the
things
we
will
do
tomorrow
once
you
set
those
criteria,
but
but
right
now,
they're
just
not
eligible
in
the
process
we
have.
Now.
L
J
Understand
what
about
a
letter
with
a
check
that's
being
sent
to
the
businesses?
Is
there
like
a
letter?
That's
that's!
Coming
from
the
city,
maybe
you
or
Karen
lemons
at
States.
Maybe
it
comes
from
the
mayor's
office.
I,
don't
know,
maybe
we
all
sign
sure.
That's
the
states.
We
appreciate
you
as
a
business
owner
in
Tarpon
Springs.
Thank
you
for
choosing.
Tarpon
springs
to
have
your
business.
This
is
a
best
way
for
us
to
support
you
during
this
hard
time.
J
L
J
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
idea
if
we
could
all
even
sign
not
assign
one
hundred
and
hundred
plus
letters,
but
have
something
that
either
comes
from
the
mayor.
It's
a
copy
of
our
signature,
just
something
on
there.
Just
letting
them
know
that
we
really
value
them
as
a
business
here
in
sharp
Springs
other
than
this
give
them
a
check.
I
think.
A
A
A
What's
the
best
way
that
go
and
reach
out
to
those
people,
some
of
the
owners,
an
example
the
one
that
share
with
you,
the
owner
she's
in
Chicago
and,
and
that
was
the
Andrews
restaurant.
She
has
an
apply
for
it.
I
don't
know
if
she
knows
that,
how
can
we
actually
reach
out
to
those
people
knowing
that
they
are
qualifying
for
it
guess.
L
A
The
restaurant
I
think
I
don't
know
if
the
restaurant
is
open,
I,
don't
if
they're
selling,
you
know
the
food
to
go
or
not,
but
I
know
that
she's
not
here
and
she
probably
gets
stuck
in
Chicago
I'm,
just
giving
you
that
as
an
example.
So
if
we
can
find
out
other
other
businesses
that
you
know
the
eligible
they're
qualifying
for
the
grant
and
we
haven't
been
if
we
haven't
got
any
applications,
if
we
could
reach
out
to
them,
do
you
have
a
way
that
we
can
do
that?
It's.
L
Just
gonna
be
very
hard
to
put
that
obligation
on
us
to
do
that,
because
we're
gonna
miss
some
of
them
and
it's
just
going
to
be
varied.
I
mean
we
can
make
an
attempt,
but
we
can
I
guarantee
you
again
with
all
we're
doing
the
process.
These
grants
that
we'd
be
able
to
find
everyone
they
hadn't
applied
and
be
able
to
find
them
and
notify
them
in
a
timely
manner.
I
just
don't
know
if
I
can
guarantee
that.
A
L
L
G
G
I
wouldn't
be
in
favor
of
redoing
eligibility
requirements,
I
thought
that
they
were
pretty
cut-and-dry
and
straightforward.
When
we
voted
on
this
last
week,
I
mean
the
other
part
of
the
discussion.
Is
the
potential
need
for
more
funding
which
I'm
open
to
discussing
you
know?
I,
don't
have
any
issue
with
that,
assuming
that
you
know
there's
a
funding
source
that
we
all
feel
comfortable
with
utilizing
and
then
also
you
know,
making
sure
that
the
I
guess
from
what
I
saw
I
guess.
87
people
have
already
been
deemed
eligible.
L
G
G
L
You
know
would
where
he
was
your
intention
that
those
businesses
would
be
on
there
too.
We
just
did
the
ones
that
were
not
eligible
and
closed
by
the
order,
and
that
was
our
intent
in
doing
it.
But
again
in
our
communication
and
doing
this
with
you,
as
as
commissioners
I
just
want
to
make
you
understand.
When
you
see
the
list
of
ones
we
we
did
not
approve
that
it
maybe
was
your
intent
that
some
of
those
Tarpons
businesses
should
have
got
the
money,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
before
we
make.
L
G
As
you
can
see,
it's
been
less
than
a
week
and
you've
already
had
87
eligible
people
fulfilled.
You
know,
whatever
requirements
there
are
to
obtain
the
money
that
have
been
approved
so
I
think
using
the
standard
that
going
by
the
governor's,
ordered
versus
essential
versus
non-essential.
Is
you
know,
pretty
pretty
cut-and-dry
and
we're
already
seeing
that
87
people
are
eligible,
so
I?
Don't
think
that
you
can
open
the
gate
more
to
include
the
quote-unquote
essential
businesses
being
eligible
as
well.
K
Thank
You,
mayor
and
again
I
just
want
to
thank
the
board
and
staff
for
working
so
hard
on
this
grant.
Obviously,
it's
been
flying
off
the
shelf
so
far,
so
I'm
happy
with
where
we're
at
I
think
to
clarify.
As
far
as
the
criteria
stuff
goes,
I
don't
think
it's
about
changing
any
criteria.
There's
no
changes
being
made.
I
think
our
city
manager
is
just
asking
us
for
our
interpretation
on
the
criteria.
That's
there
I
mean
sample
I
interpreted
the
grant
to
be
meant
to
help
all
businesses
affected
by
coronavirus.
K
Frankly,
I
think
this
is
something
that
our
city's
doing
going
above
and
beyond
what
the
state
and
county
are
ordering
and
doing
so.
I
really
don't
care.
What
state
or
county
list
they're
on
I
think
if
they're
inside
tarpon
springs
and
they
need
the
grant
requirements
and
they
need
they
need
help,
then
they
should
get
it
so
I'm.
K
Fine,
whether
the
business
is
listed,
is
not
essential
or
essential
if
they
need
help
and
they're
being
affected
by
coronavirus,
I'm
fine
to
include
them
in
the
grant,
but
again,
if
the
rest
of
the
board
feels
otherwise
and
wants
to
keep
it
the
way
it
is
I
think.
Obviously,
we've
helped
87
so
far,
so
I'm
fine
to
continue
down
that
path,
but
just
as
far
as
my
interpretation
goes,
I
think
it
was
meant
to
help
all
businesses
affected
by
coronavirus,
whether
you're
on
the
central
side
or
not
a
central
side.
F
L
Yes,
on
the
on
the
list
you're
talking
about,
if
they
were
not
if
they
were
not
on
the
non-essential
from
the
governor
who
we
had
for
you
or
what
was
listed
in
the
beginning
of
the
grant,
which
talked
about
restaurants,
retail,
gym
and
other
things
that
they
weren't
in
that
category
or
the
non-essential
list,
then
they
were
put
in
that
file.
They
haven't
been
rejected
yet,
but
right
now
they
are
sitting
in
that
file
before
we
finalize
that
we
wanted
to
come
to
you
make
sure
on
the
interpretation
as
a
board,
so.
F
L
And
I
would
say,
there's
probably
45
to
50.
Obviously
it
covers
four
different
categories.
Duplicates
there
were
people
that
put
in
two
applications
for
the
same
business,
I
mean
there's
also
ones
they're,
not
located
in
the
city
limits
and
there's
also
home-based
ones,
which
we
specifically
said:
no
home-based
businesses
so
I'm,
estimating
45
to
50
essential
businesses
that
are
in
there
in
that
limit.
That's.
L
Think
there's
one
I
think
there's
one
or
two
that
right
at
the
beginning
of
the
process,
the
first
day
they
went
in
and
paid
again,
some
of
them
were
just
do
from
2019
and
they're.
Only
you
know
six
months
do,
but
the
majority
of
ones
on
the
list
are
sometimes
one
two
three
four
or
more
and
there's
going
to
have
to
be
some
figure.
You
know
buildings,
the
building
divisions.
You
have
to
do
some
figuring.
You
know
what
caimans
iron
stuff,
so
a
couple
ones
have
been
done.
There
were
real
easy,
they
just
hadn't
paid.
J
L
Ones
that
there's
got
to
be
a
process,
they're
gonna
pay
but
I
anticipate
most
of
those
will
be
able
to.
There
may
be
some
that
can't
because
I
think
one
of
them
will
pay
more
in
occupational
license
than
probably
what
the
thousand
dollar
reward
in,
because
they've
been
so
long,
not
having
one
so
I,
don't
know
what
the
exact
number
that
twenty-one
is
going
to
be,
but
you
know.
L
F
Of
that
process
involving
the
build
building
department
would
actually
go
out
and
physically
confirm
that
they
exist.
Is
that
right?
That's
part
of
the
okay,
that's
a
good
point
and
in
addition
to
the
eligibility
interpretation
that
you're
looking
for
here's
some
question,
I
believe
I
saw
somewhere
on
extending
the
deadline.
Is
that
right?
You
know
you
haven't
mentioned
that
from
the
23rd
or
I'm.
Sorry!
Well,.
L
I
was
really
cutting
down
the
bell
because,
depending
how
much
you
want
to
want
to
dedicate
you
know
we're
gonna
be
way
how
much
money
you
dedicate
you
can
see.
We
could
have
up
to
150
to
175,
depending
on
those
we
could
have
those
right
now.
So
obviously,
another
weaker
keeping
the
application
open
wouldn't
make
much
sense.
L
If
there's
you
know,
if
the,
if
the
money
is
you
know
it's
going
to
be
gone
by
then
so
I
was
saying
a
shortening
the
time
as
soon
as
to
give
a
couple
more
days
notice
until
12:00
noon
on
Friday.
So
we
could
begin
the
final
process.
That's
what
I
was
asking
for,
possibly
moving
that
deadline
up
to
this
Friday
12:00
noon.
F
L
In
talks
right
we're
we're
we're
ready
to
be
in
there
they're
developing
it
now,
and
hopefully
you
know
it's
going
to
be
another,
it's
going
to
be
another
plus
for
our
businesses
and
maybe
even
into
the
Ascension.
It
may
be
a
chance
for
the
essential,
essential
businesses,
depending
on
what
their
criteria
is
going
to
be
from
the
grant
but
they're
in
the
process
of
internally
developing
it
now
so
we
are
going
to
be.
L
F
Right
I
have
to
keep
the
interpretation
I
think
there's
two
ways
to
go
about
it.
One,
the
first
cut
is
whether
there
is
central
or
90
central
and
after
that
cut,
for
example,
the
non-essential
businesses
that
are
most
widely
affected.
They
still
have
to
provide
information
to
demonstrate
that
they
qualify
whatever
our
guidelines
were
with
payroll
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
that's
a
that's
a
another
set
of
hurdles
that
they
have
to
go
through,
not
just
that
they're
not
essential.
F
Mary
I
know
you
kind
of
led
the
charge
in
terms
of
extending
this
to
all
businesses,
regardless
and
I'm,
not
sure
how
you
still
feel
about
that
I
know:
Commissioner
Donovan,
initiated
the
program
and
I
think
he's
very
flexible
with
regard
to
how
we
would
go.
I'm
just
I'm
just
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
dedicating
too
many
funds,
and
then
the
countywide
program
kicks
in
which,
if
it
goes
according
to
the
way
st.
Petersburg
does
it's
going
to
be
a
$5,000
grant.
F
F
I
I
would
like
to
listen
to
the
other
commissioners
I'm
more
inclined
at
this
point
to
stay
with
how
we
originally
interpreted
the
guidelines
as
non-essential
businesses,
but
I'd
like
to
hear
whatever
other
commissioners
have
to
say
in
that
regard.
Also
the
data
extension
I
think
Friday,
honestly,
is
an
awkward
date.
I
think
I
mean
that
would
be
okay
from
the
staff
accepting
applications,
but
certainly
from
the
standpoint
of
the
Commission
of
getting
the
Commission
getting
involved.
F
Again,
that's
just
not
going
to
happen
until
the
firt
next
work
session
is
the
21st
and
then,
after
that,
I
guess.
The
real
next
regular
session
is
the
28th
and
so
I
guess
whatever
we
decide
tonight
is,
is
as
I
understand
them
just
from
the
standpoint
of
common
sense
that
whatever
we
do
tonight
as
far
as
a
deadline
is
going
to
be
it
for
the
grant
program.
Is
that
correct
same
answer.
L
L
But
yes,
I
mean
right
now
it's
expected
to
go
through
next
week,
Wednesday
or
Thursday
next
week.
I
think
it
ends
Thursday
next
week,
I'm
just
saying,
with
the
amount
of
applications,
we
probably
need
to
try
to
end
it
sooner
because
we
may
have
enough,
depending
on
the
money
you're
gonna
allocate
and
then
we're
gonna
have
that
and
now
and
it's
going
to
be
a
cut
off,
but
when
you
submit
it
of
who
gets
the
grand
and
who
doesn't
get
the
grant.
Okay
well,.
F
I'll,
take
your
lead
on
it.
I
don't
know
what
the
original
intent
was
with.
I
know
it
was
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I
know
that
were
a
couple
of
commissioners,
the
mayor
expressed
interest
to
continue
expanding
the
program.
I
just
would
like
to
see
what
the
majority
of
the
board
members
are
actually
inclined
to
do
at
this
point
before
we
take
a
formal
vote
mayor
back
to
you.
Yes,.
A
What
I
had
stated
the
last
time
was
that
I
am
in
favor
to
provide
additional
funding
to
make
sure
that
all
the
eligible
this
will
receive
the
grinch,
because
I
thought
from
the
very
beginning
that
$100,000
was
not
enough.
We
had
more
businesses
than
$100,000
we're
not
covered
there
and
I
guess
I
was
right.
The
other
thing
is
we
want
a
and
I
agree
with
Commissioner
Payne.
We
ought
to
keep
the
same.
There's
you
know
the
same
criteria,
the
same
rules.
A
J
Mayor
I
agree:
we
need
to
keep
the
cutoff
date
sometime
next
week,
an
additional
on
the
original
date.
I
do
have
a
question
no
for
clarification
mark
when
I
was
looking
at
the
email
from
Karen
that
you
forwarded
to
us.
It
talked
about
the
applications,
one
being
a
business
public
facing
and
I.
Don't
have
the
original
paperwork
that
we
looked
at
to
approve,
but
is
it
in
the
grant
itself
and
I?
Don't
recall
top
my
head
where
it
talks
about
non-essential
businesses?
Is
it
listed
in
the
grant?
That
is.
L
What
we
talked
about,
that's
where
the
interpretation
comes
in
when
we
talked
about
public
facing
businesses
we
put
and
those
affected
by
the
governor's
order,
County
good
and
our
intent
by
saying
that
was-
was
the
non-essential
grant
portion.
That
was
our
intention
in
doing
it,
but
again
there's
some
interpretation
from
some
of
the
board
than
my,
but
that
was
our
interpretation.
When
we
said
those
affected
by
the
governor's
orders,
we
meant
the
ones
by
the
governor's
orders
that
had
to
close
down
because
they
were
not
essential,
guys.
J
Okay,
I
mean,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
95
percent
of
all
businesses
are
affected,
even
the
ones
that
were
considered
essential,
but
the
difference
is
essential.
Businesses
can
still
be
open
today
and
still
bringing
revenue
the
non-essential
businesses.
They
really
can't
bring
in
revenue
at
all
unless
it's
online
or
at
a
reduced
staffing
or
something
along
those.
So,
based
on
what
we
approved
last
time,
I
think
we
need
to
stand
with
that
and
not
change
any
of
the
requirements.
J
Overall.
I
do
I
acknowledge
that,
yes,
other
essential
businesses
are
still
impacted.
Absolutely
unless
you're
a
grocery
store
or
a
home-improvement
store,
they
they
seem
to
be
there.
Parking
lots
are
packed,
but
other
than
that
yeah,
the
essential
businesses
are
still
impacted,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
what
the
discussion
was
and
what
we
all
agreed
upon
was
actually
the
non-essential
businesses
that
we
were
helping
out
do
I
want
to
help
out
the
central
businesses
as
well.
Absolutely.
A
A
F
K
Yeah
mayor
no
I
interpreted
it
originally
as
including
essential
businesses
as
well
I
thought
it
was
just
any
business
in
Tarpon
Springs
that
was
affected
by
coronavirus
again
I'm
fine,
if
that's
the
trend
of
the
board,
to
exclude
essential
businesses.
However,
one
thing
I
really
want
to
emphasize
to
staff
is
that
if
we're
going
to
exclude
a
central
business
and
we're
going
to
reject
their
applications
before
we
make
that
decision,
I
think
it'd
be
really
prudent
to
reach
out
to
those
businesses
and
say
hey
what
classification
are
you?
K
Are
you
essential
or
not
essential,
because
it's
easy
for
staff
to
look
at
the
governor's
orders
and
say
hey?
This
is
essential.
This
is
not
essential.
Okay,
this
store
is
a
blank.
However,
there
was
a
lot
of
mixed
interpretations
and
stores
looking
around
when
the
order
came
down,
saying,
hey,
I'm,
essential
or
hey
I'm,
not
essential,
because
I
fit
into
multiple
categories.
K
I
do
multiple
things
so
I
think
what
what
we
really
should
impress
upon
staff
is
that
before
we
reject
somebody
for
being
essential,
we
make
sure
there's
some
communication
with
them
to
verify
that
they
are
considered
essential.
So
maybe
even
just
a
simple
email
or
a
simple
phone
call
to
say:
hey,
you
are
considered
a
central
correct
and
allow
them
to
answer
yes
or
no,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
businesses
were
confused
about
where
they
stood
and
whether
or
not
they
met.
K
You
know
multiple
classifications,
I
just
really
want
to
be
sure
that
we
don't
exclude
somebody
for
me
and
essential,
and
then
it
turns
out
later
that
hey
we
were
non-essential,
but
oh
by
the
way,
so
I
just
to
avoid
all
that.
I
really
think
it'd
be
wise.
If
we
told
staff
to
say
hey
if
you're
going
to
reject
somebody
for
being
in
the
central
business,
make
sure
you
clarify
and
verify
you.
L
L
If
half
of
their
business
was
closed
because
of
that,
then
is
the
benefit
about
go
to
them
and
go
so
that
would
be
something
in
the
in
appeal:
yeah,
I'm,
a
business
that
was
but
half
of
my
business
and
half
my
revenues
closed
down
by
the
part
of
our
business.
That's
the
governor's
order
and
that's
something
information
they
can
give
us
to
maybe
say
well
because
of
that
I
think
it's
the
intent
of
the
board.
L
You
know
you
know
if,
if
half
of
your
business
was
that
and
was
closed
down,
even
though
your
business
on
the
other,
you
know
doing
other
things
that
is
still
essential.
You
know
there
may
be
some
of
those
things
where
they
provide
us
something
it'll
give
us
another
look
for
analysis,
I
mean
some
clear-cut.
Like
doctors,
I
mean
they
aren't
on
the
list.
L
You
know
doctors
are
open,
they're,
essential,
I,
don't
know
what
a
doctor
would
dispute,
but,
but
we
had
talked
about
some
form
of
letting
the
people
know
that
they
didn't
meet.
What
we
had
for
the
criteria.
The
grant
had
a
chance
to
convince
us
that
we
did
make
the
right
decision
and
they
are
to
give
them
that
opportunity
before
they
are
absolutely
your
on
the
on
the
no
list.
A
A
J
Think
mark
brought
up
something
that
I
wasn't
necessarily
thinking
about.
If
the
business
has
a
partial,
essential
business
and
the
business
has
a
partial
non-essential
business,
that's
a
gray
area,
I'm,
not
sure
if
the
city
attorney
chime
in
on
that
one
I
mean
my
recommendation
was
if
the
business
has
any
part,
that's
essential
business
that
was
shut
down.
J
I
would
think
that
they
would
qualify
now
if
they
have
a
I'm,
sorry
non
non
essential
business
that
they're
required
to
shut
down
to
daily
qualified
now
if
they
have
a
25%
of
essential,
if
they're
saleable,
to
run
part
of
their
business.
That's
that's
great
right,
so
I
would
support
that
those
businesses
would
qualify
still
because
they
do
have
a
non-essential
business,
but
I
would
I
would
lean
to
our
attorney
and
ask
for
some
clarification
on
that.
J
J
E
E
I
I,
don't
know
if
there
is
a
answer
that
can
give
you
that
it
would
make
you
feel
comfortable,
not
knowing
you
know
each
particular
case,
but
as
for
what's
the
sense
of
what's
not
essential,
I
would
rely
on
black
and
white
reading
of
the
governor's
executive
orders
and
not
try
to
put
any
interpretation,
those
executive
orders
and
just
read
them
exactly
the
way
that
they
are
but
I'd
be
happy
to
work
with
a
city
manager
and
his
staff.
If
they
have
questions
as
to
what
my
thoughts
are
relative
to,
is
it
essential
or
non-essential.
F
A
A
A
J
Thing:
yeah,
yes,
no
I,
I
approve
I,
mean
I
agree
with
the
National
criteria
set
forth.
I
would
like
to
see
staff
to
lean
on
the
city
attorney
if
there's
a
business
that
falls
into
both
essential
and
non-essential
businesses,
but
I
think
we
should
stick
with
what
we
have
and
then
with
that
interpretation
that
they
they
evaluate
those
two
types
of
businesses.
A
F
A
I,
just
wanna
make
sure
we
all
okay
with
that.
Now
we
go
to
discuss
about
funding.
Obviously
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
was
not
enough
and
look
at
the
numbers.
What
mr.
Lacroix
is
provide
us
I
think
is
in
the
ear
he
needs
another.
Fifty
thousand
dollars
you've
been
with
that
Mister
the
course
how
much.
F
A
F
L
Was
true,
there
was
only
a
few
that
came
in
today
because,
as
you
see
there's
over
200
that
came
in
in
the
other
day,
so
whether
people
are
waiting
I
don't
have
any
way
they
anticipate.
You
know
how
many's
going
to
come
in,
but
today
was
the
first
day
it
was.
There
was
very
few
of
them.
They
came
in
today.
L
E
F
Yes,
but
but
obviously
I
think
the
city
manager
is
gonna,
have
to
give
us
some
feedback,
but
again
if
the
countywide
plan
is
going
to
kick
in
at
a
greater
amount
than
what
we're
offering
I
don't
have
an
issue
with
covering
certainly
the
additional
applications
that
we've
got,
but
I
don't
want
to
go
beyond
what
the
interim
need
would
be
before
the
countywide
grant
would
kick
out.
That's
simply
these
people.
A
J
Yeah
I'm
good
with
that
I
would
even
say
what's
add
another
five
thousand
for
additional
five
more
businesses.
If
there's
a
hundred
forty
three
I
can't
remember
exactly
942
142,
so
you
got
eight
more
businesses
that
can
apply
for
it
over
week.
I
mean
I
would
be
open
to
pushing
it
up
a
little
bit
higher,
but
if
the
city
manager
only
feels
you
use
adult
150000,
then
I'm,
fine
with
that.
A
A
J

A
L
A
K

A
L
A
L
As
you
know,
for
a
while,
since
last
year,
we've
been
looking
for
a
planning
director,
we
know
over
the
past
years,
the
trouble
we
have
in
filling
any
position
in
planning
or
in
building
building
and
planning
seem
to
be
no
matter
if
it's
an
inspector
or
if
it's
the
regular
planner.
Although
that
the
planning
director
those
positions
are
very
hard
to
find,
we
have
been
in
a
long
process
of
trying
to
find
one.
My
recommendation
to
you
tonight
again
is
an
offer
because
I
have
to
make
the
offer
to
see
it
accepted.
L
But
of
course,
as
you
know,
by
the
city
charter,
the
Board
of
Commissioners
have
to
ratify
a
department
head
selection
of
mine
in
the
terms
of
hire.
You
have
to
do
that
ahead
of
time,
so
the
person
who
I've
talked
to
him
like
to
offer
the
job
is
Carol
renee
Vincent.
She
was
our
planning
director
for
about
12
years,
left
in
2014
to
go
to
the
county
and
been
there
since
serving
as
a
planning
director
there.
Since
2016
I
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
her
all
that
time.
L
It
brings
us
combined
16
years
of
planning
director
experience
she
has
been
since
she
went
to
the
county.
Although
we
lost
her,
she
has
been
our
go-to
person,
especially
in
the
past
few
years,
that
if
we
need
something
from
the
county,
if
Tarpon
applicants
are
involved
in
the
county
process
as
I'm
sure
many
tarpon
people
who
have
been
involved
in
the
county
process
can
attest
that
she
is
the
one
that
staff
is
been
able
to
go
to
to
try
to
assist.
L
Also,
the
joint
application
is
that
we
got
to
deal
with
the
county,
which
she's
been
the
go-to
person
for
us
to
do
that
with
she
brings
outstanding
credentials
the
biggest
thing
about
her
and
if
you
could
tell
by
my
backup,
I,
had
asked
Pat
McNeese
who,
who
has
just
been
working
diligently,
the
past
five
or
six
months
to
try
to
hold
planning
together
with
our
consultant,
and
you
know
we
do
have
a
consultant
replacing
a
planning
director
now
but,
for
instance,
6
October,
we've
already
paid
that
consultant
almost
$50,000.
That
way.
L
So
there's
a
tremendous
a
lot
of
money
going
out
for
that.
Pat
is
also
working
with
her
planner
who's
been
out
on
medically
for
about
a
month.
You
don't
know
when
that
person
is
going
to
come
back,
so
she
has
been
really
trying
to
hold
the
fort
down
it
when
I,
you
know,
I
told
her
about
the
prospects
it's
where
she
worked
with
her
in
a
tremendously,
especially
in
the
absence
of
a
planning
director.
I
just
asked
you
to
give
some
points
about
what
the
hiring
of
somebody
with
that
experience.
L
With
that
institutional
knowledge
come
in
or
what
you
could
do,
and
you
see
the
three
paid,
the
two
or
three
pages
of
all
the
things
we
are
behind
on
the
things
we
need
to
do
and
what
she
could
offer
and
come
in
without
any
any
any
time
or
any
learning.
In
the
process
of
learning
the
state
we
have
had
some
other
candidates
from
out
of
state.
We
had
three,
we
were
looking
at.
Two
of
them
have
dropped
out.
L
There
is
one
still
viable,
but,
as
we
found
out
when
we
hired
a
a
planning
director
from
out
of
state,
there
is
probably
a
six
month,
two
year
window
to
get
up-to-date
with
Florida
processes.
Everything!
So
not
only
do
we
have
somebody
in
this
in
this
case,
if
she
accepts
me
offered,
I
can
get
right
in
from
day
one
going.
We
wouldn't
have
that
you
know
that's
six
months
the
year
like
time
where
we
would
be
farther
behind
on
that
extensive
list
of
projects
that
needs
to
be
done
by
the
planning
department.
L
So
this
is
something
obviously
at
Mimi's
were
so
excited
about.
You
see
all
that
she
wrote
that
would
help
out
with
the
division.
Our
department
heads
are
ecstatic
about
this
hire
because
you
know
the
Planning
and
Zoning
director
affects
so
many
other
departments,
public
services,
project
management,
building
department
and
having
somebody
who
come
in
with
the
knowledge
and
experience
to
assist
them
a
lot.
They
do
to
assist
them
code
enforcement.
L
You
know
so
many
areas
so
to
get
somebody
like
that
and
not
to
have
the
window.
Time
is
just
going
to
be
tremendous
for
our
other
department.
Heads
and
our
other
departments
that
you
know
we
need
to
get
some
work
done
and
we've
got
somebody
to
do
it
by
so.
To
me,
this
is
a
substantial
win
for
the
citizens
for
the
before
our
progress.
L
So
I
think
that
would
be
one
of
the
aspects
to
come
back
and
obviously
there's
so
many
challenges
for
her
to
do
and
enhance
her
resume
doing
here
and
getting
done.
That
is
a
great
opportunity
to
do
the
county
six
years
gone
through
the
county
process,
but
I
really
think
that
this
is
something
where
she
didn't
really
sink
her
teeth
in
and
get
a
lot
of
things
done
that
that
wouldn't
get
done
so
I,
don't
think
I
absolutely
know
what
they're
doing
to
hire
these
people.
A
Thank
you
mr.
Lucas
think
he's
read.
A
Vincent
is
very
well-qualified
planners,
no
question
about
that.
She
worked
for
the
city
for
many
years,
I
believe
12
years
as
a
plenty
director.
She
did
many
good
projects.
She
completed
the
CRA,
the
smart
code,
special
plant
area
plan.
She
also
completed
the
ER
and
many
other
projects,
miss
Vince
aww.
It's
very
well-qualified
she'll,
be
she's
very
capable
to
manage
the
department
and
completed
projects
that
we
need
to
do
right
now
and
bring
the
department
to
the
higher
level,
but
also
mr.
A
lecoeur,
as
I
have
several
some
questions
that
I'd
like
to
ask.
You
know
miss
Vincent
left
us
once
and
she
went
to
the
county
for
higher
pay.
Do
you
think
that
she
will
leave
us
again
and
go
into
another
local
government
if
somebody
offers
her
more
money
and
then
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs,
again
we'll
be
looking
for
another
planner?
My
other
question
would
be
is
what
kind
of
a
guarantee
do
we
have
that
she
actually
likes?
A
H
H
L
Again,
you're
always
going
to
be
dealing
with
no
matter
who
you
we
had.
The
experience
remember
the
gentleman
we
brought
in
from
out
of
state
brought
in
a
very
good
gentleman
from
out
of
state.
He
was
in
his
six
to
nine
months,
getting
just
up
to
date
to
be
able
to
go
forward
and
do
our
projects,
and
he
left
us
for
a
job
in
Arizona.
L
So,
no
matter
if
it's
the
outside
candidate
you're,
always
doing
that,
I
truly
think
and
I
wouldn't
offer,
did
the
job
if
I
truly
think
I
think
she's
at
the
point
of
her
career
that
she
wants
to
come
back
and
I.
Think
she
wants
to
to
do
us.
Go
back
to
the
city
into
a
city
job
here,
I'm
hoping
we'll
know
if
she
accepted,
then
my
feelings
are
right.
So
I
think
we
have
a
good
bet,
can
I
guarantee.
L
If
somebody
comes
off
her
big
amount
of
money
or
like
with
with
Heather
somebody,
the
private
sector
goes
grab,
can
I
guarantee
it
I,
just
don't
feel
it
from
talking
with
her
India
over
the
years,
and
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
things.
I
know
I.
Faced
it
in
my
career,
when
you
talked
about
going
higher
up
and
stuff,
it's
good
to
go
to
a
county
to
state
to
the
feds.
I've
had
many
people,
not
only
in
the
city
manager
side
but
in
the
police
side
want
to
go
up.
L
Sometimes,
when
you
move
up,
you
know
I
always
say:
there's
no
better
place
to
work
and
there's
no
better
place
where
you
can
leave
your
mark,
there's
no
better
place
when
you
can
account.
This
thing
is
that
at
them,
at
the
lower
at
the
city,
level
of
government
and
stuff
and
and
I
think
that's
the
case.
You
can
go
to
the
county
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
you
can
do,
but
but
really
it'd
be
like
me
going
to
the
County
Sheriff
for
me
going
somewhere
else.
L
You
know,
after
a
while,
I
knew
if
I
ever
made
that
move
I'd
want
to
go
back
to
my
city
or
another
city
and
do
their
I
think
that's
the
case
here.
I
think
that's
why
she
want
to
come
here.
Come
I!
Think,
that's
why
she'd
want
to
come
back
and
settle,
I!
Think
as
good
of
a
chance
that
we
do
with
an
out
of
state
that
we're
left
with
you
know,
you
know,
I
think
she
will
stay.
L
A
L
Very
very
much
in
this
market,
for
there
it
it's
a
you
know
it's
on
the
low
side.
You
know
it's
probably
gonna
be
on
the
low
side,
but
I
don't
think
it
was
a
matter
of
money.
I
think
she'd
stay
at
the
county.
If
she
accepts
this
offer,
then
it's
not
a
matter
of
money
and
stuff,
so
it's
probably
on
the
lower
end.
L
J
Do
I
would
like
to
see
some
more
direction.
Coming
from
the
board
on
what
the
Planning
Department
is
working
on
from
a
project
standpoint,
I
know,
Heather
had
some
projects
that
she
liked
working
on,
but
I
would
prefer
that
we
give
direction
as
a
board
and
what
projects
are
being
worked
on.
First
in
a
priority
list
that
we
get
a
consensus
and
we
encourage
the
staff
to
work
off
that
instead
of
some
pet
projects,
but
I
support,
miss
Benson
coming
back
tarpon
springs
at
the
salary.
J
I
think
he
brought
up
a
good
point
as
she
stayed
at
Tarpon
Springs
and
continuing
to
receive
her
merit
increases
that
should
be
around
the
same
amount.
I
see
her
education
is
in
line
with
a
director,
I
believe
and
she's
really
grown
in
the
county
as
well,
so
I
think
she's
a
good
fit
here
in
Tarpon
Springs.
That
would
support
to
hire.
G
G
You
know
I
think
probably
what
some
people
would
be
upset
about
is
the
way
in
which
she
left,
but
I
can
tell
you
from
working
with
Renee
as
an
elected
official
and
not
as
an
elected
official
and
in
both
capacities
with
her
as
a
director
in
the
city
of
tarpon
springs
in
in
the
county.
She
she
can
be
as
professional
as
they
come.
It's
not
uncommon
to
have
some
controversial
issues
come
up
when
you're
in
the
planning
department
like
that,
and
when
that
happens
you
know.
G
Unfortunately,
some
sides
can
be
taken,
and
you
know
in
some
cases
when
you're
on
the
opposite
side,
it's
natural
to
have
a
little
bit
of
controversy
or
to
butt
heads
that
said.
Wow
she's,
been
at
the
county,
she's
always
supported
applications
that
have
come
from
Tarpon
Springs
to
my
knowledge
and
I
know
firsthand
that
she
has
helped
members
of
our
staff
and
even
applicants
with
some
direction
as
it
relates
to
tarpon
springs
issues.
I
think
that
you
know
there
was.
G
There
was
a
point
in
time
in
2014
when,
when
the
I
feel,
like
all
of
the
departments
were
under
the
building
services
department,
which
was
probably
not
the
best
management
of
our
departments
to
begin
with-
and
there
was
a
dust-up,
as
we
all
know-
and
the
manner
in
which
she
left
you
know
could
be
interpreted
one
way
or
the
other.
For
me,
it's
more
about
where
we're
at
as
a
community
right
now
within
tarpon
I
feel
like
our
growth
is
exponential
and
we've
been
struggling
with
the
with
hiring
a
planning
director.
G
Basically,
since
2014
there
was
a
small
period
in
time
when
we
had
when
we
had
Heather
and
she
was
a
team
player
and
she
wanted
to
get
projects
done
and
really
worked
hard
to
do
so
and
really
brought
to
the
table
some
enthusiasm
as
it
relates
to
finding
a
way
to
a
challenging
problem
versus
just
being
against
it.
But
it's
because
it
wasn't
easy.
That
said,
she
left
for
the
same
reasons
that
we're
talking
about
I
mean
she.
She
stayed
in
Tarpon
for
a
few
years.
G
She
got
some
good
experience
under
her
belt
and
then
she
left
for
the
private
sector
so
being
that
again
playing
to
our
strengths.
Being
that
the
planning
department
in
the
development
services
department
is
kind
of
in
my
wheelhouse
within
my
profession,
since
miss
Vinson
has
left
myself,
as
vice
mayor
as
commissioner,
etc,
have
been
in
the
loop
with
the
city
manager.
Regarding
these,
the
new
hires
I'm,
an
envelope
with
the
applications
that
have
come
forward.
G
H
C
G
K
L
Her
work
ethic
for
enthusiasm,
especially
without
the
part
again
planning
involved,
so
many
other
departments
and
needs
to
put
your
work
aside
a
bit
to
help
the
areas
that
so
a
team
player
and
what
really
show
has
shown
out
is
from
the
time
she
left
and
went
to
the
county.
She
didn't
forget
about
us
and
when
a
department,
head
of
planning
or
other
needed
or
help
with
the
many
issue,
the
county
she'd
jump
right
in
and
help
us
with
it
and
stuff.
L
So
it
even
continued
when
she
went
to
the
other
place,
so
I
just
think
any
quality
quality
you
have
in
a
planner
between
knowledge,
education,
just
what
she's
gained
in
six
years
of
working
in
the
county
in
the
different
areas.
She's
worked.
It
brings
far
more
strengths
this
than
she
even
had
before
with
that
ability
and
with
all
the
things
coming
up
that
we're
going
to
be
having
to
work
with
the
county
on
issues
and
stuff.
K
L
Now
I
got
run
hearing
to
do
real
fast
since
October
two
new
budget
year
through
I
believe
somewhere
in
February.
When
we
made
the
last
payment,
so
it'd
be
October.
The
February
is
that
for
about
forty,
nine,
just
under
fifty
thousand
dollars
49
and
some
change
thousand
that
we
spent
since
October
for
the
consultant
to
assist
with
the
planning.
K
F
L
F
L
Depends
how
fast
you
want
to
go
on
things?
What
you
do
we
may
need
some
consultant
help
the
comprehensive
plans
or
things
like
that.
But
again
it
all
goes
on
how
fast
you
want
to
get
other
things
done
and
whether
you
want
her
working
on
one
of
those
or
some
assistance
to
get
that
move
faster,
so
other
things
can
be
done
also
that'll
be
up
to
this
board
and
Commissioner
Khare
talks
about
the
directions
and
the
priorities.
This
board
wants
to
do
well
to
decide
at
that
time.
F
F
I
could
also
summarize
it,
but
let
me
just
say
and
I
understand
his
point,
so
I'll
keep
that
in
mind
in
the
future,
but
we
in
order
to
try
and
save
time
I
chose
to
send
it
forward
who
had
discussed
it
with
the
city
attorney
I'm
not
going
to
support
miss
Vincent.
Let
me
just
miss
commissioner
receiver
Santa's
vote
for
my
heart
I'm
voting
with
my
heart
on
this
one.
I
was
there
when
the
turmoil
distress
had
occurred
back
in
2014
concerning
the
Sponge
Docks
project.
F
I
understand
that
a
lot
of
the
problem
was
laid
at
the
development
services
directors
feed
at
that
time.
But
the
problem
is,
they
could
have
stopped
when
they
listened
to
people
and
they
did
and
they
continued
on
and
miss
Vincent
led
us
down
the
wrong
road
at
that
time
and
I
have
absolutely
no
faith
that
she's
back
only
us
down
the
wrong
road.
Again,
it's
going
to
be
up
to
the
Commission
to
get
involved.
Not
quite
frankly,
you
don't
want
to
start
hearing
it
from
residents
again.
F
Mr.
Lucas
hasn't
left,
he
stayed
through
thick
and
thin
good
times
bad
times.
Chief
Jung
has
stayed
through
good
times
and
bad
times,
chief
coach
and
estate
through
good
times,
and
bad
cons,
Paul
Smith
for
over
20
years,
through
good
times
and
bad
times.
Tom
function
for
at
least
18
years,
through
good
times
and
bad
times.
This
Vincent
is
not
one
of
them
and
yet
we're
going
to
be
paying
her
the
exact
same
amount
as
these
others,
with
the
exception
of
mr.
function,
so
I
have
a
real
problem
with
that.
F
I
think
these
individuals,
that
I
mentioned,
have
just
tremendous
amount
of
responsibility,
managing
their
departments
and
providing
critical
services
on
a
24/7
basis,
and
yet
we're
going
to
be
paying
a
Planning
Director
the
same
amount
of
money
when
the
one
that
left
we're
paying
eighty
thousand
dollars
and
I
understand,
maybe
perhaps
mr.
Wiley
left
to
get
additional
paid
because
she
was
earning
eighty,
two
thousand,
but
also
remember,
city
manager.
F
You
pointed
out
the
many
people
that
laying
it
at
the
Commission
speed
for
her
for
her
leaving
because
of
the
pressure
put
on
her
for
an
supporting
some
consultants
for
the
various
things
that
she
wanted
to
accomplish.
So
I
think
she
left
for
some
good
reasons.
I,
just
don't
think
that
mrs.
Vincent,
given
that
how
she
left
and
she
left
the
city
hanging
she
and
the
assistant
planning
director.
F
If
that's
what
the
other
fellow
that
left
his
physicians
name,
was,
and
we're
just
kind
of
sitting
there
staring
at
each
other
about
what
next
so
I'm,
not
in
support
of
hiring
her
I.
Think
that
there's
other
options
my
feeling
is
$50,000
since
October
is
to
be
honestly
it's
actually
less
than
half
of
what
we're
going
to
be
paying
mrs.
F
Benson
$50,000
is
less
than
a
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
dollars,
and
if
you
include
all
the
the
all
the
the
additional
benefits
that
she
gets,
it's
going
to
be
about
a
hundred
and
sixty
or
seventy
thousand.
So,
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
we
could
be
spending
160
years,
one
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
on
a
consultant,
and
it
would
be
equivalent
to
having
miss
Vinson
here
at
a
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
dollars.
F
F
That
I
think
that
there's
other
options
available
I
think
we
have
a
couple
of
staff
people
that
I
would
prefer
giving
them,
as
at
least
on
an
interim
basis,
until
the
hiring
for
the
planning
director
improved,
would
improve
at
least
give
them
an
opportunity
to
prove
their
mettle
as
far
as
administration
over
the
planning
department,
while
keeping
the
consultant
on
board
I
have
no
issue
with
MS
McNeese
and
the
assistance
of
lui
cert
I.
Think
they've
done
well.
F
Given
the
circumstances
and
again,
I
think
the
city
manager
has
other
options
but
I'm
not
going
to
support
this
pencil
there's
too
much
the
other
part
of
it,
not
even
looking
at
the
staff,
the
senior
staff
in
the
face.
There's
a
number
of
people
that
are
not
making
120,000
112,000
that
are
on
the
90
thousand
dollar
range
play
frankly
that
have
as
much
responsibility,
if
not
more
than
a
planning
director.
Yet
we're
still
going
to
be
paying
miss
Benson
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
forth
than
these
other
extremely
important
and
critical
people
in
power
constraints.
F
The
planning
director
is
one
key
for
the
most
part
filled
in
for
mr.
DiPasquale
he's
making
in
the
90
thousand
dollar
range.
Yet
we're
going
to
hire
somebody
that
left
the
city
just
left
us
hanging
and
offered
them
one
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
dollars.
I
can't
support
that.
That's
all
I've
got
to
say
mayor.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
J
Want
to
reiterate
what
Commissioner
Terry
pannies
talked
about
with
the
institutional
knowledge.
The
fact
that
miss
Vincent
was
here
in
Tarpon.
Springs
knows
what
she's
getting
into
knows:
the
history
of
Tarpon
Springs
and
it's
very
difficult
to
put
a
value
on
that,
in
my
opinion,
and
although
she
left
she's
willing
to
come
back
I,
think
that
says
a
lot
about
somebody
if
they're
willing
to
come
back
and
bring
back
their
talents
to
the
area
from
the
standpoint
of
dollars.
J
These
positions
demand
a
high
dollar
amount.
I
understand
that
it's
a
significant
amount
of
money,
but
it's
a
significant
responsibility
that
we're
putting
on
this
position
to
have
a
lot
of
great
things
done
in
Tarpon
Springs,
so
I'm
excited
for
miss
Vincent
to
hopefully
accept
the
position
and
the
staff
that
move
forward
in
the
city
to
move
forward
in
the
direction
that
we
needed
to
go.
Thank.
A
A
C
L
Not
clear
I
sent
to
you
today
the
the
items
that
I
have
so
far
for
the
work
session
come
up
21st
and
asked
you
to
send
any
more
items
to
me.
We
gather
rather
long
agenda
and
stuff,
but
if
anybody
else
has
any
items
for
that
work
session,
6:30
next
Tuesday
for
the
work
session,
you
send
those
to
me
and
we'll
get
them
on
the
agenda.
L
J
You
mayor
again,
I
just
want
to
express
thanks
to
the
rest
of
the
board
for
your
support.
As
vice
mayor
tonight,
I
would
like
to
wish
our
Orthodox
residents
happy
Easter
this
coming
week
and
I
hope
everybody
else
had
a
great
Easter
this
past
weekend
and
I
would
like
to
also
thank
the
clerk's
office
for
all
their
hard
work.
That
they've
done
for
the
election.
I
missed
that
Amaya
on
my
speech
and
again
looking
forward
to
serving
with
you
all
over
the
last
few
years.
F
You
mayor
I
wish
to
personally
thank
miss
van
Horn
and
our
IT
staff
for
doing
a
terrific
job.
I
spent
some
time
with
mr.
Ellis
this
past
week
and
coming
up
to
speed
at
least
crawling
with
regard
to
the
iPad
and
I,
get
stressed
out
just
turning
the
iPad
on
hoping
that
the
screen
would
come
up
and
being
able
to
log
on,
but
her
Department.
In
order
to
produce
this
meeting
that
we're
going
through
tonight
in
and
then
looking
mr.
Allen
says
he
was
talking
to
me,
goes.
D
F
Goodness
here
we
go
again
and
he
began
to
get
a
little
stressed
looking
himself
so
I
finally
asked
him.
I
said:
how
do
you
deal
with
this?
He
says:
well,
it's
you
know
we
deal
with
it.
So
is
he
I
told
him
it's
equivalent
when
I
see
that
they
do
is
equivalent
to
a
flight
traffic
controller
trying
to
land
five
747s
on
the
same
runway
in
five
minutes,
I
think
they
just
do
a
tremendous
job
and
I
just
want
to
thank
him
for
producing
these
meetings
for
us.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
I
I
like
to
remind
our
fellow
terpenoids
to
continue
to
follow
the
CDC
guidelines,
to
exercise
social
distancing
and
to
avoid
large
gatherings
and
again
I'd
like
to
thank
our
police
officers,
the
firefighters,
the
city
workers,
our
hospital
personnel,
the
doctors,
the
nurses,
the
staff
is
immense,
Raiders
for
working
in
a
difficult
environment,
mr.
City
Attorney,
when
we
have
a
new
Commission,
you
always
provide
us
with
training
in
regards
to
sunshine.
