From YouTube: Board of Commissioners February 11, 2020
Description
Regular session
A
A
A
A
I
now
call
to
order
the
regular
session,
meaning
of
the
Board
of
Commissioners
of
the
city
of
Tyrus
Frank's
on
Tuesday
February
11th
2020
at
6:30
p.m.
we've
received
a
notification
from
Commissioner
Seaver.
She
will
not
be
able
to
attend
the
meeting
tonight.
She
due
to
the
illness
I
need
a
motion
to
excuse
her.
B
B
Sometimes
we
can
do
a
better
job
of
holding
ourselves
accountable
since
I've
been
on
the
board
on
April
9th
of
2019
Commissioner
Sieber
is
now
missed.
Seven
out
of
29
meetings,
that's
an
absence
rate
of
nearly
25%
and
more
absences
than
the
rest
of
the
board
combined,
and
that
also
includes
three
out
of
our
last
four.
So
again,
I
think
just
something
as
we
move
forward
and
as
the
board
continues
on
after
the
election
cycle.
B
A

F
Let's
pray
father,
we
thank
you
for
this
beautiful
day.
We
thank
you
for
this
beautiful
city.
We
thank
you
for
the
beautiful
people
that
reside
here.
We
ask
Lord
that
you
have
blessed
this
meeting
tonight
bless
the
mayor
and
commissioners
bless
all
the
city
staff
and
the
first
responders,
and
all
those
who
work
together
to
make
this
a
great
place
to
live,
work
and
play
father.
We
thank
you
for
everything
that
you
are
doing
and
what
you
will
do
and
your
great
name
we
pray.
A
G
Need
a
protist,
901,
Bayshore
Drive
three
times
this
weekend.
I've
heard
this
comment
now
that
you're
working
on
the
budget,
it's
being
said
that
you
plan
to
take
out
city,
historic
buildings,
brick
streets
and
other
historic
items
and
Craig
park
out
of
the
budget.
I
hope
it's
not
true,
but
it's
being
talked
about
all
over
town
and
you
need
to
know
that
part
of
Craig
Park
has
been
destroyed
a
little
bit
with
the
shuffleboard
and
our
tennis
court.
Their
historic
trees
have
been
cut
down.
They
need
to
be
replaced
and
I
hope.
G
The
city
has
enough
thought
and
respect
for
her
historic
community
not
to
take
out
funding
for
brick
streets
and
not
to
take
out
any
funding
for
historic
trees
to
be
replaced
and
to
keep
Craig
park
like
it
should
be.
Our
buildings
are
beautiful.
We've
got
such
a
great
wealth
in
this
community
of
historic
as
a
historic
community.
Don't
destroy
it.
G
Please
leave
nothing
there
to
take
care
of
our
historic
city,
buildings,
replacing
brick
streets
and
getting
our
community
back
to
where
people
will
want
to
come
to
Tarpon
Springs,
not
only
for
tarpon
itself,
Venice
of
the
South.
The
Bayou,
the
beaches,
the
Greek
atmosphere,
but
the
historic
atmosphere
that
tarpon
has
our
history
is
wealth.
Our
history
is
deep
and
we
must
take
care
of
it
and
preserve
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
H
It
brought
me
here
and
I
echo
what
you
just
heard
that
it's
a
beautiful
town,
I
love
it
I
come
here
as
often
as
I
can
mostly
in
the
winters
we
missed
last
year,
and
that's
the
cracks
of
one
of
the
problems
or
we
did
get
annoyed
is
when
we
came
this
year
with
the
maps
for
mr.
Robertson
about
the
sidewalk.
That's
been
proposed,
approved
and
funded
I
assume
he
told
us
they're
up
going
out
for
bids.
It's
something's
been
done,
I'm,
not
going
to
say
any
more
about
that.
H
I
was
around
when
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
was
putting
the
rocks
out
in
the
front
of
the
Bayou
and
I.
Remember
asking
the
manager
of
the
project.
Why
not
do
a
sidewalk
and
it's
cement
and
I
remember
his
answer
was
I'm
just
doing
what
I'm
told
so
here's
what
I'd
like
to
say
to
you
is
somebody
who
comes
here
over
the
years.
I
can
see.
The
difference
is
in
in
town,
so
I'm,
very
good.
Some,
not
so
good
I
see
them
because
I
don't
see
the
town
as
often
as
you
do
so.
H
Having
said
that,
the
issue
that
I
want
to
bring
up
today,
that's
not
resolved,
is
the
traffic
and
the
speeding
that
takes
place
in
that
area.
I
recall
back
in
nineteen
2013-14
when
my
mother-in-law
was
still
alive,
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
were
still
the
Chief
of
Police,
but
the
police
had
a
dummy
car
right,
but
a
car
without
a
trooper
there
to
keep
it
from
speeding
and
we
still
laughed
because
nobody
paid
attention
they're
still
speeding.
The
speed
limit
is
35
on
Thursday
last
week,
from
7
a.m.
to
8
a.m.
H
38
cars
passed
going
north
I,
don't
think
anybody
was
doing
35
the
moment
they
turned
the
corner.
You
can
hear
the
car
accelerating
so
I
think
there
must
be
something
that
can
be
done
there.
Be
there
a
one
way
street.
They
accommodates
the
borders.
They
want
to
come
in
from
the
south
to
the
north
and
back
into
the
bayou.
H
Be
that
speed
bumps,
be
that
the
flashing
signs
something,
but
it's
it's
pretty
dangerous.
The
second
subject
I
want
to
bring
up
to
you
is
this
first
I
want
to
thank
you
for
paving
the
alley.
It's
it's
nice.
When
I
came,
I
talked
to
the
neighbor
and
I
said
it's
so
nice
to
pave
the
alley.
He
says
yeah.
He
says
no
more
dust,
so
I
said
to
him
how
about
the
drainage?
He
says
nobody
asked
us
three
nights
ago
we
have
torrential
rains,
but
six
or
seven
thousand
square
feet
of
the
20,000
square.
H
Foot
property
in
the
back
was
a
swimming
pool
because
the
road
that's
been
now
paved
its
inclined
and
has
also
a
in
the
middle
of
a
place
where
everything
comes
to
our
property.
I,
don't
know
what
to
do.
I,
don't
know
who
to
talk
to
I'm,
just
bringing
it
up
as
just
another
example
of
you
did
something
good
positive,
but
it
wasn't
a
hundred
percent
complete
and
in
my
40
years,
working
in
the
industry,
I
learned
that
small
problems
get
to
be
very
big
problems
down
the
road.
Thank
thank.
I
Panayiotis
sakuya's
595,
Peninsula,
Avenue,
Tarpon,
Springs,
Florida
I,
wish
there
would
be
more
people
here.
I
wish
there
really
would
be
because
the
times
are
changing
right
now
in
Tarpon
Springs
for
you
chief,
you
mayor
a
new
city
manager,
the
people
of
Tarpon
Springs
have
lost
their
faith
and
your
ability
to
lead
it
manages
blessed
city,
okay,
you
have
committed
and
participated
in
activities
which
are
undermined
the
public
confidence
as
officials
of
this
beautiful
city
Chris.
I
When
the
people
voted,
you
in
your
main
job
was
to
get
mark
Lycoris
out,
you
have
failed
the
people
of
Tarpon
Springs,
but
it's
official.
The
mark
of
the
chorus
error
has
come
to
an
end.
There
will
be
no
mark
lacourse,
protege,
no
mark
lacourse
disciple,
who
will
lead
this
city
moving
forward.
Okay,
he's
created
one
of
the
most
corrupt
Police
Department.
A
A
I
I
David,
he
says
so
was
committing
there.
Yes,
and
three
months
later,
these
guys
were
in
my
mother's
house
with
an
illegal
search
warrant.
There's
more
to
this
story
than
you
guys
could
ever
imagine
and
when
it
comes
to
the
head
of
the
city,
the
head
of
the
snake
and
the
neck
and
throat
is
where
we
need
to
go
at
these.
Men
are
corrupt.
Okay
and
the
air
is
time
to
move
in
a
new
era
and
I
see
young
active
bright
commissioners.
I
They
have
to
make
the
change,
and
we
want
to
hear
back
from
you
from
those
statements
I
made
two
and
a
half
years
ago
you
had
your
officers.
Come
in
my
house,
my
mother's
house,
my
mom's
hat
barefoot
in
the
street
for
12
hours.
Wow,
these
guys,
eight
cases
of
pizza
laughing
you
guys
wouldn't
spent
the
city's
$100,000.
You
guys
spent
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
the
city's
money
out
of
spite
because
of
you
and
how
corrupt
you
guys
are.
Okay,
and
in
the
end,
you
found
nothing.
You
found
an
addict.
I
What
you
guys
knew
all
along,
but
it
was
more
than
that.
It
was
more
than
that
and
then
your
officer
gassin
had
the
nerve
to
write
into
code
violations.
My
mother
was
aware
of
drugs
being
sold
at
the
house.
No,
that
was
you
mark
from
the
statements
I
made
from
the
statements
I
made
from
November
14
2017,
and
you
must
address
them
now.
You
will
not
seek
counsel
from
our
attorney
from
our
city,
but
you
will
address
this
matter
and
you
will
resign
you're,
not
gonna.
I
Wait
a
year
from
now
when
everything's
good
you're,
not
you're,
gonna
resign.
Now
and
we're
not
going
to
have
another
city
manager,
our
former
chief
move
forward,
we're
gonna,
do
our
jobs,
we're
not
gonna,
be
lazy
and
for
the
love
of
this
city,
we're
gonna
find
the
right
people.
Okay,
I,
had
to
lose
everything
to
be
able
to
stand
up
here
today
and
be
as
brave
as
I
am
against
a
couple:
corrupt
people
in
this
city,
all
the
protégées,
all
the
disciples
after
him.
A
A
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
proclamation.
That's
item
number
one
national
q11
day
the
seat

Tarpon

Florida

utility

Family

And
what

expert

and
connecting
people.
A
You
need

improve
their
lives
and
whereas

2011,

And
what

pulse
of
our
community's
greatest
needs.
Providing
Health

local
community
planners
and
now,
therefore,
I
crystal
aku's
is,
by
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
in
me.
A
A
J
We
ask
that
everyone,
please
help
us
spread
the
word
about
2-1-1
and,
if
you're
in
need,
please
dial
2-1-1
or
you
can
text
your
zip
code
to
eight
nine.
Eight
two

one
and
our
specialists
are
on
the
phone
they're
highly
trained,
and
they
are
there
to
help.
You
assist
you
and
provide
resources
for
whatever
it
is
that
you
are
in
need
of
we're
open,
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
and
we
have
the
capability
of
answering
in
a
hundred
and
fifty
different
languages
through
an
interpreter.
J
K
Well,
this
gives
us
when
you
present
this
proclamation.
It
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
remind
people
that
2-1-1
is
there
to
help
and
to
answer
questions
for
an
information
referral
system,
but
also
a
suicide
hotline
and
believe
me,
there
are
plenty
of
people
and
we've,
given
you
numbers
in
the
past
about
how
many
people
from
Tarpon
Springs,
we
all
think
it's
not
going
to
happen
in
our
own
community,
but
in
fact
it
does.
K
People
are
in
need,
and
you
may
not
need
it,
but
you
might
have
other
people
that
you
know
your
your
citizens
in
this
community
might
need
help
and
we
want
to
be
sure
that
we
reach
out
to
them.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
remind
us
that
information
referral
is
there.
911,
of
course,
is
a
different
number,
but
two
one
one
and
we
work
very
closely
with
9-1-1
as
a
matter
of
fact,
so
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
just
remind
people
about
its
importance.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
G
I'd
like
to
say
two
things
tonight:
when
I
first
became
a
commissioner,
pious
planning,
council
and
became
mayor
was
always
there
for
tarpon
springs,
whatever
the
need
was,
as
she
heard
it,
she
called
over
here
say
Neeta.
What
do
you
need?
She
didn't
wait
for
us
to
ask
her.
She
is
a
favorite
sister
of
Tarpon,
Springs
and
I
just
want
to
say
about
the
young
man
I'm,
sorry
for
what
he
said.
As
you
know,
sometimes
I
want
to
choke
you
too,
and
I
plus
sometimes
I.
G
Car
when
he
was
young,
he
used
to
go
to
the
hopper
with
me
to
eat
crisps.
Sometimes
I
get
mad
and
I.
Let
him
know
it.
Our
police,
chief
he'll
always
take
your
call
and
he'll
always
give
you
an
answer.
Our
youngest
Commissioner
here,
the
young
man
who's
going
to
go
far.
I
expect
him
to
be
something
in
the
count
State
one
day,
I
think
it's
going
to
happen
and
I
hope.
Townsend
does
the
same
thing.
We've
got
good
people
in
Tarpon
Springs
and
when
this
gets
on
the
board,
it's
really
going
to
be
hot.
G
Come
to
the
meetings.
Tell
people
come
to
the
meetings.
Let
these
gentlemen
know
what
you
want
and
what
you
like
for
tarpon
springs
because
they
work
for
us.
We
put
them
in
office
like
what
we
say,
but
they
will
listen
and
the
city
manager
has
to
listen
to
them.
With
our
comments
you
may
not
like
them
sometimes,
but
we
all
own
Tarpon
Springs,
not
just
this
board,
so
tell
everyone
to
come
to
the
meeting.
So
it's
very
important
and
miss
Sally.
You
come
up
here
anytime.
You
want.
E
Mayor
this
proclamation
will
be
accepted
by
reverend
milton
smith,
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
Florida
proclamation,
whereas
national
and
African
American,
History
Month
is
observed
in
February
of
each
year
and
whereas
for
generations,
African
Americans
have
embodied
the
shared
progress
of
our
nation,
making
it
a
stronger
and
better
place
to
live
and
work
for
everybody
with
strength
and
determination.
And
whereas
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
is
home
to
African
Americans.
E
M
F
History
is
just
within
the
world.
It's
a
story.
It's
a
story
that
we
all
have
at
the
start
of.
Every
culture
has,
and
it's
a
stir
that
need
to
be
told
as
a
story
that
shouldn't
be
forgotten
because
we
forget
where
we
come
from.
How
can
we
ever
know
where
we're
going
and
if
we
don't
remember
history,
don't
teach
history
and
don't
observe
history,
the
easy
to
repeat
history,
so
therefore,
I
was
going
to
thank
the
Commission
for
recognizing
African
artists,
History,
Month
and
setting
time
aside
to
give
this
honor.
A
G
G
G
Tell
us
about
how
they
started
their
own
little
community,
how
they
were
separated
from
their
families
and
they've,
been
able
to
trace
it
through
generations,
get
it
and
read
it,
and
it's
in
the
library
also
the
National
Geographic,
and
it
tells
how
they
got
together
and
the
reason
I'm
saying
this:
is
they
built
a
community?
They
built
their
church,
they
built
a
hospital,
they
built
the
school,
and
now
it's
become
a
historic
venue
in
Mississippi
and
Alabama
and
they've
kept
it
alive
and
they've
taken
care
of
it.
G
Every
community
has
a
historic
value
and
it's
very
important
that
we
preserve
what
we
have.
So
we
don't
lose.
The
history
and
I
want
to
tell
it
to
this
commission
because
we've
already
lost
a
little
bit.
It
gets
chipped
away,
chipped
away
and
chipped
away,
and
once
it's
all
chipped
away,
you
can't
put
it
back
so
get
it
and
read
it.
It's
very
interesting,
brave
men
and
women
and
what
they
endured,
but
they
have
persevered
they
sent
their
children.
G
One
lady
was
a
widow
with
nine
children,
sent
them
all
to
college
to
become
doctors
and
lawyers.
America
is
the
land
of
opportunity
and
we
don't
thank
god.
We
don't
have
socialism,
but
we
see
what's
happening
countries
with
socialism,
but
we
can't
achieve
in
America
it's
up
to
our
children.
Drugs
is
killing
them,
but
hopefully
it'll
turn
around
everyone.
Please
read
that
National
Geographic,
it's
a
wonderful,
wonderful
story.
F
Say
one
more
thing:
Bush
go
ahead.
You
know
talking
about
history
in
especially
after
American
history.
This
sort
of
a
history-making
event
is
gonna
happen
tomorrow,
on
TV
there's,
an
african-american
native
of
Tarpon
Springs,
graduated
from
Tarpon
high,
will
make
her
second
appearance
on
the
Rachael
Ray
Show
at
2
o'clock.
Tomorrow,
okay,.
A
F
A
N
Good
evening,
mayor
and
commissioners,
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
this
evening
and
to
share
a
few
points
of
pride
with
all
of
you
in
our
local
residents
of
Tarpon
Springs
before
I
begin.
Our
presentation
I
do
want
to
follow
up
with
mr.
Smith
chef.
Angela
will
be
dining
will
be
hosting.
Excuse
me
at
the
out
back
room
on
April
29th
at
Tarpon,
Springs
High
School
for
a
three-course
meal
for
the
community.
More
information
will
be
shared
via
our
Facebook
page
I.
N
Have
to
share
that
I
am
the
proudest
principal
of
our
high
schools.
Our
school
is
doing
phenomenal.
I
couldn't
be
more
prouder
than
our
students
of
our
students
and
our
staff.
Our
faculty
has
really
bonded
with
what
we
need
to
do
and
our
goals,
and
it's
been
an
incredible
year
and
some
of
the
things
you'll
hear
tonight.
N
You
will
see
that
the
pieces
are
definitely
coming
together
for
us
as
we
meet
our
mission
and
vision,
we
do
have
a
mission
of
a
hundred
percent
Student
Success,
all
of
our
decisions
that
we
make
on
campus
kind
of
embrace
that
philosophy.
So
what
we
look
at
for
academics,
what
we
look
at
for
extracurricular,
what
we
look
at
for
athletics
basically
is
to
help
the
student
move
in
a
more
successful
fashion
through
high
school
and
become
college
and
career
ready.
We
do
share
a
96%
graduation
rate
and
we
are
at
the
top
of
the
district.
N
N
We
have
five
district
application
programs
on
campus
and
those
programs
are
available
to
any
student
in
the
district
through
an
application
based
system
for
curriculum
pathways,
and
this
is
something
that
we
are
marketing
this
year
very,
very
clearly
to
help
the
community
and
incoming
families
understand
what
we
have
on
campus
for
and
every
student.
We
have
an
ace
pathway,
which
is
the
Cambridge
program.
N
We
have
a
tarpon
springs
high
school
collegiate
pathway,
which
is
the
pathway
to
an
AAA
degree,
associate
an
arts
degree
where
student
can
take
up
to
24
college
credits
on
our
campus,
we're
still
two
classes
away
and
we're
working
on
actually
finding
a
instructor
that
can
come
on
campus
and
teach
ethics
is
one
and
intro
to
speech
communication
as
the
other.
Once
we
can
host
those
two
additional
courses,
our
students
will
be
able
to
take
all
the
college
credit
on
our
campus
and
not
have
to
leave
to
go
to
SPC.
N
We
have
an
Advanced
Placement
capstone
program
that
is
sponsored
by
the
College
Board,
and
we
also
have
a
traditional
path
for
students
that
are
not
interested
in
taking
accelerated
courses
and
want
to
focus
on
a
different
variety
of
athletics
and
clubs
and
just
want
to
take
just
regular
English,
regular
geometry.
We
have
those
options
available
so
again,
as
we
circle
back
to
the
100%
student
success,
we
have
many
options
that
really
speak
to
the
needs
and
interests
of
our
families.
We
have
17
elective
pathways
and
it's
very
interesting.
N
This
has
been
something
that
we've
worked
on
for
many
years
now
is
to
provide
a
four-year
program
pathway
of
electives,
which
basically
serves
as
like
a
minor
in
college.
So
the
major
in
our
particular
case
would
be
the
curriculum
pathways
and
students
could
minor
in
a
four-year
program
for
electives
all
elective
programs
that
we
have
yield
either
an
industry
certification
or
provide
college
credit
for
the
student.
So
again
it
does
embrace
that
100%
student
success
in
college
and
or
a
career
readiness
pathway.
N
Typically,
we
would
have
one
articulation
agreement
for
dual
enrollment
and
that
would
be
st.
Petersburg
College
and
that
has
worked
very,
very
well
proud
to
announce
that
we
have
a
University
of
Florida
articulation,
so
students
can
take
online
dual
enrollment
classes
through
the
University
of
Florida
and
just
recently
we
have
added-
and
we
haven't
quite
finalized
it
on
paper.
Yet
we
have
not
signed
but
Nova
Southeastern
University,
with
the
campus
ATS
on
the
Courtney
Campbell
Causeway.
We
are
looking
to
branch
our
education
program
for
students
that
want
to
continue
on
with
education.
N
Majors
I
am
a
proud
graduate
of
the
Nova
Southeastern
program.
So
that
was
something
that
spoke
very
dear
to
me.
So
students
can
actually
see
where
that
pathway
could
take
you
if
you
are
interested
in
committed.
So
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
our
extra
curriculum.
I
want
to
talk
extra
curricular.
We
have
fantastic
athletic
programs
and
tonight,
as
I'm
speaking
to
you,
our
girls,
basketball
team
is
traveling
to
regionals
tomorrow
night
we're
hosting
boys,
soccer
regionals
and
Thursday.
N
We
have
another
regional
me,
so
our
winter
teams,
three
out
of
the
four
headed
to
regionals,
that
we
couldn't
be
prouder-
a
wrestling
team
headed
to
States
for
the
end
of
the
dual
meet
and
we
hope
to
see
them
near
States
or
at
States
for
the
individual,
we're
seeing
our
campus
come
together.
We're
seeing
our
families
unite
and
we're
seeing
staff
embrace
students
and
I
couldn't
be
prouder.
A
couple
of
things
before
I
get
into
our
academic
priorities.
N
N
It's
gonna
look
more
like
a
Central
School
Hub
than
a
cafeteria
which
we're
bringing
that
collegiate
feel.
I
can't
wait
to
see
that
and
the
stage
in
our
auditorium
and
the
whole
acoustical
treatment
it's
going
to
provide
more
of
a
theatrical
feel
than
in
historic
experiences
as
more
as
an
auditorium.
N
So
now
we
can
do
more,
theatrical,
plays
and
dances
and
really
give
students
that
that
opportunity
to
to
thrive,
proudly
I
can
tell
you
that
Tarpon
high
is
strong,
is
solid
and
it's
steadily
growing,
and-
and
that
is
something
due
to
hard
work,
tenacity
and
effort.
But
as
much
as
we
want
to
continue
to
share
all
these
wonderful
things,
I
do
to
share
with
you
our
academic
priorities,
and
so
I
am
going
to
leave
with
that
tonight.
N
Our
academic
as
we
move
forward
the
rest
of
the
semester
and
we're
waiting
for
our
end
of
the
year
testing.
We
are
planning
on
closing
the
achievement
gap
between
our
african-american
and
Hispanic
student,
no
african-american
and
Hispanic
student
population,
as
well
as
our
students
with
disabilities.
The
federal
index
last
year
has
reported
that
we
do
have
some
gaps
in
the
proficiency
levels
of
students
in
those
subgroups.
N
So
we
are
closely
monitoring
and
we're
very
deliberate
about
what
we
bring
to
the
table
to
provide
those
students
with
enrichment,
we're
looking
to
increase
opportunities
for
our
students
to
take
honors
and
college-level
courses,
and
we
break
down
this
data
by
students
that
are
participating.
We
take
a
look
at
gender.
We
take
a
look
at
race
and
we
also
take
a
look
at
the
trajectory
over
a
three-year
period
is
Tarpon
high
growing.
N
So
we
have
a
lot
of
momentum
and
we
hope
to
celebrate
in
the
near
future
with
everyone
in
the
community
when
we
bring
our
a
back
home
to
campus
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
opportunity
and
if
you
have
any
additional
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer.
I
have
left
business
cards
for
you
and
I
look
forward
to
partnering
up
with
our
students
and
the
city
of
tarpon
springs
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
A
A
C
O
Thank
you.
First
I
have
to
tell
you.
You
have
a
wonderful
print
three
years
that
I've
been
on
the
board.
You
have
just
phenomenal
job,
and
this
is
my
home
away
from
home.
I'm
a
Dunedin
resident,
I'm,
Tuesday,
April,
24th,
Tarpon,
Springs,
High
School
will
be
hosting
the
Pinellas
County
School
Board.
We
take
our
meanings
out
once
to
the
south,
which
is
next
week
in
Lakewood
and
then
in
the
spring,
we're
coming
up
to
tarpon,
because
we're
gonna
show
off
our
beautiful
new
campus,
so
I
hope.
N
A
Liz
Phair
leaders
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
the
update,
updating
us
the
board
of
Commission's
and
also
the
people
of
topper
Springs,
because
everybody's
watching
you
on
TV
right
now,
but
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
inviting
me
to
the
school
and
show
me
the
additions
and
all
the
improvements
that
we
have
in
the
school.
It
was
a
great
to
visit
my
old
school,
the
homeless
Wanderers.
Thank
you.
A
C
You
miss
fat,
Elise
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
presentation
a
night.
You
gave
us
some
great
facts
to
share
within
the
community.
As
the
mayor
mentioned
to
you,
this
is
being
live-streamed
right
now,
so
hopefully,
members
of
the
community
are
watching
as
we
speak
and
can
also
appreciate
your
presentation
just
wanted
to
reiterate
some
of
the
stats
that
you
gave
us.
C
I
can
appreciate
the
different
pathways
and
programs
that
you're
offering
our
students
in
terms
of
their
their
own
pace
or
their
desires
in
their
adult
life
and
the
different
education
routes
that
they
can
go
to
to
fulfill
their
dreams.
So
I
think
that's
a
wonderful
thing.
Our
winter
teams,
three
out
of
four
going
to
regionals.
You
got
to
be
proud
of
that,
and
I'm
also
hopeful
that
you
can
bring
home
the
a
for
tarpon,
I,
think
y'all
deserve
it
and
I
think
you've
done
wonderful
things
as
a
leader
of
your
school.
Thank.
N
A
E
Mayor
of
being
a
graduate
and
obviously
alumni
of
tarpon
high,
it's
a
lot
of
proud
things
to
be
proud
of.
As
a
tarpon
resident
and
I'm
super
proud
of
everything,
tarpon
High
has
going
on
I,
don't
think.
There's
many
high
schools
in
Tarpon,
Pinellas,
County
I
could
say
that
over
100
years
old
and
have
so
much
history,
rich
history
as
tarpon
dahye,
has
and
continues
to
bring
forth
each
year.
So
thank
you
for
cultivating
that
atmosphere
and
everything
you're
doing
for
the
students
here
at
Tarpon,
high
and
I
appreciate
your
presentation
tonight.
A
B
You
Mary
yeah
I'm,
a
proud
alum,
I'm,
really
excited
for
the
future
of
Tarpon
Springs,
High,
School
and
I.
Don't
know
what
the
criteria
was
for
those
rankings,
but
tarpon
high
is
the
best
High
School
in
Pinellas
County
as
I'm
sure
you
know,
I'm
also
really
proud

A
comment
on
number
five:
a
with
the
fine
arts
festival.
Now
we
have
Jean
here
from
the
chamber
she
told
me
earlier
today:
it's
gonna
be
going
on
three
years,
if
she's
been
in
Tarpon,
Springs
and
she's
really
done
a
great
job,
I
think,
overall,
with
the
chamber,
I
just
want
to
recognize
her
and
her
staff
on
what
they've
done
over
all
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
everything
you're
doing
in
Tarpon
Springs.
Obviously
this
is
a
big
event
that
brings
in
a
lot
of
tourism
a
lot
of
money
to
our
businesses.
E
A
A
C
So
I
see
that
the
annual
amount
of
31,000
and
in
aggregated
amount
not
to
exceed
156.
So
oh
I
see
so
it's
a
five
year
contract.
Okay,
sorry
I
didn't
see
that
before
and
then
my
question
is
first
of
all,
you
know
I'm
glad
to
see
that
a
local
company
won
the
bid.
I
do
I.
Do
wonder
why
there
was
only
one
response
out
of
nine
planners,
but
maybe
it's
just
the
size
of
the
bid
to
begin
with.
But
my
question
is:
is
this
just
for
materials
or
is
this
for
materials
in
installation.
P
C
A
B
You
yeah
the
first
part
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
a
little
bit
for
public
information
that
this
riprap
was
gonna,
be
for
various.
You
know:
ponds
runoff
areas
that
sort
of
thing.
The
second
thing
that
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
I
get
bored
consensus
on
it's
just
that
the
board
is
notified
whenever
this
money
is
being
spent
for
the
materials
I'm.
L
C
I
mean
I,
don't
I
can
understand
it
on
some
projects,
where
we've
asked
for
notification
but
I
on
this
particular
item.
I,
don't
see
a
need
for
us
to
be
notified.
I
mean
it's
an
it's
on
an
as
needs,
so
I
mean
I.
Understand
every
penny.
You
want
to
know
when
it's
spent,
but
I
mean
for
a
project.
Were
you
know,
we're
gonna
get
a
couple
grand
worth
of
rock
to
put
out
an
existing
stormwater
project.
I,
don't
see
the
need
for
the
Commission
to
be
notified,
but
that's
just
my
opinion.
A
E
Can
I
just
make
one
comment,
I
understand
what
Commissioner
Donovan
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
up
it's
nice
to
know
as
a
commissioner
more
the
projects
that
are
going
on
on
the
day-to-day
operational
standpoint,
not
to
manage
the
day-to-day
operations
but
to
understand
like,
for
instance,
Bayshore.
They
have
a
in-house
sewer
project
going
on
I
didn't
know
about
that,
but
then
want
to
walk
the
street
I,
see
it
right
and
then
residents
reach
out
to
me
about
it.
So
it
just.
A
Car
I
think
this
is
a
little
different,
because
this
is
something
that
we
used
to
get
and
we
can
make
sure
that
we
get
it
get
an
update
of
different
projects.
That
are
you,
process
and
projects
have
been
completed,
and
all
that
is
should
also.
We
should
be
on
the
on
our
website
for
all
the
residents
to
be
able
to
have
as
well
I.
C
A
E
I
mean
another
good
example
is
like
the
fire
hydrants
that
we
just
approved
in
the
consent
agenda
have
like
some
type
of
progress
on
where
those
are
going
for
this
coming
year,
how
many
been
replacing
cetera?
So
it's
just
good
to
know
where
the
funds
are
going.
We
could
share
that
also
in
our
newsletter
at
times,
I'm.
The
quarterly
water
bill
newsletter.
A
A
Q
P
Yes,
I'm
having
to
do
this
report
for
Bob
Robertson.
We
knew
he
couldn't
be
here
tonight,
but
because
of
the
timing
that
we
have
to
get
this
information
to
DEP
on
the
request
for
information,
no
choice,
but
to
do
it
or
not
tonight.
This
is
simply
a
resolution
that
we're
gonna
add
to
materials
we're
in
the
process
of
permitting
the
dredging
of
the
turning
basin.
P
We've
been
asked
to
supply
more
information,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
do
was
send
this
resolution.
The
show
part
of
the
support
for
it.
So
mr.
Robinson
did
this
one
rather
fast
notice,
and
we
have
this
that
we
want
to
include
in
our
packet.
You
also
have
an
email
from
mr.
vadik
Yodas
that
has
to
put
some
historical
information
on
there.
You
know
I
see
no
problem.
If
the
board
the
board
wishes
to
add
that
information,
it's
all
factual
information
in
a
release
to
the
history
of
it.
P
So
there's
no
issue
with
that.
As
we
say,
we
don't
know
what
this
made,
what
goodness
may
do
with
the
permian,
but
it
certainly
can't
hurt,
and
especially
seeing
from
this
board
some
support
along
with
the
other
materials.
So
we're
asking
you
to
pass
this.
Is
this
resolution
again
decided
to
add
the
language
on
the
history
in
it
and
then
we'll
have
that
in
the
packet
that
we
have
to
get
to
them
by
the
20th
of
February.
A
No,
we
got
some
concerned
citizens
because
this
project
is
so
important
to
us,
but,
as
the
resolution
stated,
those
resolutions
emphasizing
the
support
of
the
abortive
commissioners
and
the
people
of
Tarpon
Springs
a
little
bit
about
the
Inka
River.
That's
a
national
channel,
it's
a
very
important
to
our
local
economy.
It
brings
252
million
dollars
to
our
local
economy
and
he
provides
two
and
a
half
thousand
jobs
to
the
Tampa
Bay
region.
A
It
is
also
a
safe
haven
to
our
large
boats,
but
the
tourney
base,
which
is
just
as
important
to
us,
because
that's
where
the
boats
are
using
to
turn
around
the
claim
is
now
part
of
the
national
channel.
But
it's
very
very
important
to
us
as
well
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
state
representatives,
Chris
pros
in
Chris
ravallo
Latvala
and
the
state
senator
Edie
Hooper
for
submitting
and
support
the
bill
for
addition,
funding
of
$112,000
to
dredge
the
extend
attorney
base.
I
think
this
is
very
important.
A
Now
I
like
to
make
sure
that
the
credit
goes
to
them,
because
they've
been
very
helpful
to
us.
Mr.
Lycoris,
if
you
have
any
delays
on
this
project,
please
let
me
know
and
I
call
Colonel
Kelly
who
is
the
director.
Actually
here
is
the
commander
of
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
and
make
sure
that
you
think
he's
going
to
help
us
over
the
phone
or
he's
going
to
come
down
here,
as
it
did
before
so,
and
I
will
support
to
add
the
addition
information
that
was
provided
by
mr.
C
You
mayor
absolutely
proud
to
support
this
resolution
tonight.
I
think
we
all
know
how
important
it
is
to
our
local
economy
and
the
greater
Tampa
Bay
region
to
have
the
anklet
River
up
and
running
as
an
active,
viable
commercial
port.
One
of
the
stats
that
the
mayor
left
out,
which
I'll
mention
is
that
50%
of
all,
let's
say,
50%
of
the
valuable
commercial
fish.
M
C
Mean
in
Tarpon
Springs,
it's
incredible
so
definitely
worth
noting
and
I'm
happy
to
support
some
additional
historical
language
provided
by
mr.
vadik
Yodas
to
help
beef
up
the
resolution.
If
any
time
you
can
be
fit
up,
helps
I
mean
we're
going
through
the
effort
to
adopt
this
resolution.
I
think
it's
show,
support,
I'm,
sure
it'll
be
unanimous
from
this
board.
I
think
we
all
know
the
value
of
it
so
happy
to
support
him.
Thank
you
good.
Mr.
E
Mayor
absolutely
I
support
this
resolution.
I
want
to
thank
the
group
that
has
worked
on
this
for
many
many
years
to
get
funding
and
I'm
glad
that
the
city
is
able
to
stand
behind
you
all
and
fight
for
this
funding,
proud
to
be
a
part
of
this
board
that
lobbies
for
this
funding
for
our
residents,
for
our
business
owners
and
for
the
workers
at
Tarpon.
Springs
I
will
also
want
to
thank
Commissioner,
elect
vatikiotis
for
providing
additional
history
of
the
dredges
and
would
have
happened
in
the
past.
E
A
B
You
Mary
yeah,
obviously
I'm
glad
to
support
this
resolution
and
I
something
I
wanted
to
emphasize
in
the
resolution
as
a
portion.
It
says,
whereas
due
to
the
facts
stated
above,
the
city
has
future
plans
to
request
inclusion
of
the
exterior
turn
basin
and
the
unquote
river
federal
navigation
channel
for
future
maintenance
dredging
through
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
I.
Think
that's
something
really
important
so
that
we
can
go
through
this
process.
Ten
years
from
now
or
however
long
this
is
gonna
be
included
in
the
actual
federal
channel.
B
So
we
don't
have
this
big
ask
at
the
last
second
for
everything
that
we
need
also
I
would
absolutely
support.
The
Commissioner
elects
recommendation.
I
think
it
adds
some
strong
historical
emphasis
that
was
needed
on
this.
So
thank
you
for
that,
but
other
than
that
I'm
just
really
excited
to
get
this
thing
done.
I
think
we
wait
any
longer
I'm
gonna
jump
in
the
river
with
a
shovel
start,
the
dredge
myself,
because
this
is
something
where
you
know
it's
nice
to
say
we
got
the
funding
and
we
did
this
that
and
the
other.
B
P
You
because
that
future
steps
he's
already
got
information
and
stuff
and
already
proceeded
with
those
future
steps.
That's
why
we
added
that's
one
reason
we
had
the
line
and
so
I
want
think
he's
already
got
the
initiative
going
to
work
on
to
work
on
that
one
I'm
sure,
along
with
all
the
rest,
the
rest
of
you
in
the
Commission,
but
he's
already
trying
to
make
contacts
now
on
it.
So,
in.
A
G
A
The
the
channel,
it's
one
thing,
it's
a
project
that
will
be
handled
by
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers,
but
also
the
term
base
the
there's
a
bill
that
has
been
submitted
and
supported
by
a
commissioner
I'm.
Excuse
me,
representative,
state
representative,
Chris,
prose
and
representative
Chris
lavalla,
and
also
at
Hooper,
who
is
the
estate
senator
and.
G
It's
in
process
two
things
I'm
disappointed
in
the
lady
who
is
doing
the
engineering
or
the
work
force
should
have
been
here
before
this
meeting
she's
never
been
here
before
and
when
you
have
a
project
like
that
and
your
pain
are
that
kind
of
money.
She
should
have
been
here
at
least
once
or
twice
before
this
last
encounter.
G
The
second
thing
is:
if
the
city
had
gone
for
BP
money,
we'd
have
gotten
a
lot
of
money
and
I
do
not
understand
why
you,
as
the
board,
did
not
go
after
BP
money
when
even
servers
in
this
town
got
quite
a
bit
of
money,
and
you
see
what
Clearwater
got.
What
doesn't
even
got
you
felled
us
on
that?
Nobody,
you
didn't
go
after
BP
money,
we
would
have
had
the
money,
do
it
what
we
need
there.
R
Costa
vatikiotis
538,
West,
Cedar,
Street,
first
I
recognized
commissioner
Park
and
I
want
to
mention
her
again
and
Commissioner
Todd
barber,
Singh,
Todd
and
also
commissioner
Calvin
Harris
and
of
course,
Fred
mark
was
the
County
Administrator.
They
were
basically
instrumental.
They
got
our
money
force
from
the
county,
not
last
go-round
back
in
the
90s
and-
and
it
just
inspires
me
to
see
her
and
she
looks
great
so
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
what
I
stated
in
the
memorandum,
I
think
they're
all
self
explanatory.
R
My
my
belief
is:
we
just
need
to
do
better,
I'm,
hoping
that
the
Commission
looks
at
this
is
a
learning
experience
we.
This
is
not
a
particularly
hard
project.
In
my
opinion,
we've
got
history
on
our
side
and
we've
got
experts
in
the
community
that
are
willing
to
help
in
fact
mirror
that
group
of
five
men
probably
is
about
10%
of
that
256
million
dollars.
It's
brought
into
tarpon
springs
and
they're.
All
extremely
knowledgeable.
R
We
have
a
charter
amendment
that
I
fully
suspect
is
going
to
be
approved
in
Section,
eight
and
I
think
it's
subsection
O
that
talks
about
the
recreational
channels
and
the
cuts
between
the
spoil
islands
and
we're
gonna
be
going
to
DEP.
Quite
often,
once
that's
approved,
and
we
need
to
kind
of
set
the
tone
of
who
we
are.
R
We
haven't
been
there
in
a
while
there's
a
city
of
tarpon
springs,
but
we
need
to
set
the
tone
with
them
of
who
we
are
and
that
we
know
what
we
want
and
we
know
what
our
needs
are
and
we
shouldn't
concede
anything
if
we
know
what
we
want
and
there's
a
reason
for
it.
We
need
to
be
able
to
articulate
that
the
worst
that
I
would
hate
to
see
happen
is
we
go
and
file
something
for
dredging
between
two
spoil
Islands
and
we're
told,
but
we
don't
really
see
the
need
for
that.
R
Also
we're
pinging
off
a
lot
to
tetra
Tech
you.
You
saw
a
figure
that
I
threw
out
there
if
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
on
a
more
regular
basis
once
for
the
recreational
channels
and
then
elsewhere,
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
harder
look
as
far
as
how
to
do
this
more
efficiently.
We
can
spend
an
awful
lot
of
money
on
environmental
permitting
very
easily
and
I
think
it
would
become
if
this
is
typical
of
what
we
would
have
to
do
for
the
recreational
channels.
R
Is
matter
of
fact,
one
thing:
that's
always
missing
with
these
consultants
from
out-of-towners
their
local
knowledge
and
I
think
if
we
would
have
had
that
local
knowledge,
perhaps
with
that
consultant
canvassing.
Some
of
these
folks
that
you
see
here,
we'd
have
been
much
in
a
much
better
position
with
DEP.
R
Commissioner
Khare
mentioned
that
the
one
thing
that
kind
of
went
through
my
mind
in
the
meeting
with
the
consultant
last
week
was
the
fact
that
we
do
have
funding
pending
up
in
Tallahassee,
and
the
information
I
received
at
that
meeting
basically
demonstrates
that
we're
not
in
a
very
good
shape
right
now
with
DEP
and
articulating
what
our
needs
are.
In
fact,
they're
talking
about
the
last
memorandum
I
sent
you
today
about
a
proprietary
project
that
is
outside
the
dredging,
because
they're
not
convinced
that
what
we're
asking
for
is
within
the
public
interest.
A
R
S
A
Phoenix,
our
Julia's
634
East
Orange,
and
thank
you
for
tolerating
me
once
again
on
this
subject.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
board,
while
everyone
entirety,
including
mr.
lockers,
for
your
advocacy
for
funding
for
this
project.
Along
with
us,
are
the
citizens
and
the
marine
commerce
committee
and
we're
here
to
back
you
up
and
help
you
any
way
we
can.
So
we
have
had
some
excess
with
funding
and
and
I'm
hopeful
that
the
state
money
will
come
through
as
we
would
like.
It's
you
all
know.
S
We've
been
at
this
five
years
has
been
a
very
long
project
and
I
hope
it
comes
to
a
successful
fruition
soon.
So,
with
regard
to
the
exterior
turn
basin,
it
is
vital
to
this
the
maintenance
dredge
of
the
channel
itself,
so
maintenance
dredges
all
the
way
across.
As
commissioner
elect
Dickie
Otis,
says,
educated
us
there
I
want
to
paraphrase
mr.
liquors,
so
I
hope.
I
may
not
get
every
word
correct,
but
he
said
it
the
best
way,
and
it
was
really
clear
for
me
to
understand
so.
S
The
exterior
turn
basin
is
right,
adjacent
to
the
turn
basin
in
the
federal
channel.
It
is
a
big
pile
of
sand
right
now,
so
you
dig
a
trench
in
the
turn
basin
in
the
channel
and,
what's
going
to
happen,
the
water
is
simply
going
to
push
the
sand
into
the
trench.
So
in
order
to
preserve
the
work
that
the
Army
Corps
will
do
for
the
federal
channel,
we
must
get
this
exterior
turn
base
and
done
so.
S
I
too
want
to
thank
Commissioner
Donovan
for
the
future
plans
to
include
the
exterior
turn
basin
in
the
channel
itself.
I
think
that'll
eliminate
a
lot
of
this
at
least
I
hope
going
forward.
So
I
ask
you
again:
you've
done
a
great
job
out
there
getting
this
money.
Please
redouble
your
efforts
and
remind
our
elected
officials,
our
governor,
our
state,
senator
our
state
representative.
S
Even
our
congressman,
mr.
Bilirakis
who's
helped
out
a
lot
here
and
our
senators,
one
of
whom
was
a
former
governor,
that
their
advocacy
can't
end
with
just
funding.
We
need
them
to
care
about
this
project,
to
push
it
to
really
convince
the
state
county
and
federal
agencies
how
badly
we
need
this
and
we've
needed
this
for
so
long.
So
please
I
implore
you
and
we're
all
here
to
help
you
and
everyone
that
couldn't
come
this
evening.
We
are
at
your
disposal.
S
Whatever
we
have
to
do,
but
I
will
say
we
can't
give
up
an
inch
of
this
turn
basin.
We
need
it
all.
So
please
tell
them
this.
That
we've
got
to
have
the
whole
thing
done.
We
can't
do
half
measures,
they
can't
cut
pieces
of
it
off.
Please
please
make
this
clear
to
them.
So
thank
you
and
thanks
for
listening,
thank.
A
A
Q
Yes,
this
is
ordinance
2020
dr1,
an
ordinance
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
Florida
Manning
city
code,
chapter
2,
article
3
division,
1,
section
2,
35,
F,
5
of
the
city
of
Turpan
Springs
police
officers,
pension
plan
to
extend
the
2.1
percent
cost-of-living
adjustment
in
the
fifth
year
following
retirement
to
all
retirees
who
retired
prior
to
October,
1
2000,
providing
for
the
inclusion
in
the
code
providing
for
severability
providing
for
a
repealer
and
providing
for
an
effective
date.
That
was
the
second
final
reading
of
ordinance,
2020
0
1.
By
title.
A
A
A
Q
Q
A
Q
M
Second,
on
my
development
manager,
the
purpose
of
the
economic
development
and
warm
tax
exemption
is
to
give
the
city
another
tool,
our
economic
development
toolbox,
as
an
incentive
to
help
attract
new
businesses
to
the
city
and
help
existing
businesses
expand.
It
also
brings
in
jobs
that
are
at
higher
wages
than
the
average
in
Canal
helps
keep
us
at
a
competitive
advantage
with
nearby
communities
that
already
have
adopted
and
established
the
program
right
now,
there's
about
39
counties
that
have
the
program
and
more
than
25
cities,
locally
st.
M
Petersburg,
Tampa,
Clearwater,
Pinellas,
Park
and
oldsmar
has
recently
adopted
this.
So
the
program
is
essentially
it's
outlined
in
the
state
statutes.
The
authority
to
grant
exemptions
must
be
done
by
referendum.
So
his
background
on
December
4th
of
2018,
the
boc
approved
resolution,
2018
30
to
put
the
referendum
question
on
the
ballot
for
March
12
2019,
and
with
that
question
the
voters
approved.
M
This
is
up
to
a
hundred
percent,
so
if
we
get
any
applications,
you
could
always
go
below
that,
but
by
adopting
100
percent
it
gives
you
the
full
flexibility
it
would
provide
for
a
five
year
maximum
exemption
period
for
any
business.
It
would
provide
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
minimum
capital
investment.
So
that
means
an
eligible
business
would
need
to
invest
at
least
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
into
the
project,
excluding
any
land
and
then
by
state
statute.
M
M
These
are
businesses
that
have
more
than
fifty
percent
of
their
sales
revenue
coming
from
outside
the
state
of
Florida
and
then
office,
and
those
are
offices
not
in
the
target
industries
would
have
to
provide
at
least
up
to
50
jobs
and
again
the
statutes
require
an
average
wage,
so
the
average
wage
for
these
new
jobs
have
to
be
above
the
average
wage
in
Pinellas
County.
Currently,
the
average
wage
in
Pinellas
County
is
47,000
273,
so
the
company
would
have
to
meet
all
of
those
eligible
criteria
in
order
to
apply
for
the
program.
M
A
M
A
I
I
support
this
this
program
again,
this
program
is
good,
for
businesses
is
good
for
the
city
and
it's
good
for
the
people
of
Tarpon
Springs,
because
this
incentive
encourages
new
business
to
come
to
tarpon
springs
also
to
to
help
the
existing
local
businesses,
but
it
creates
job
with
the
highest
pay.
So
I
think
this
is
really
good
for
for
the
people
of
terrible
Springs
and
thank
you
for
bringing
it
forward
in
equation
comments.
A
C
Mayor,
thank
you,
Karen
thanks
for
your
presentation.
This
is
definitely
something
that
I
think
the
board
as
a
whole
would
look
to
you
to
come
to
us
with
and
present
so
I
appreciate
you
doing
that.
I
think
that
you
know
in
a
lot
of
cases,
you
hear
this
board
talk
about
especially
around
budget
season
and
regarding
the
millage
rate,
this
board
talks
a
lot
about
tarpon
springs,
maintaining
a
competitive
edge
with
surrounding
communities
as
it
relates
to
industry,
as
it
relates
to
business
retention,
attraction,
etc.
C
So
I
think
this
certainly
helps
keep
us
on
par
with
that,
given
that
surrounding
communities
are
already
taking
advantage
of
something
like
this.
So
a
couple
questions
regarding
the
approval
process.
I
see
that
Pinellas
County
property
property
appraiser
does
have
to
sign
off
on
this
to
some
degree
so,
but
other
than
that,
it
appears
that
this
is
pretty
much
an
in-house
thing,
so
I'm
grateful
for
that
right.
As
far
as
your
agreement
have
you
started
drafting
that
at
all
yet
or
you
wanted
to
make
sure
we
came
before
first
rating
first
yeah.
M
We
have
a
draft
agreement
that
the
city
attorney
has
been
helping
with
and
we'll
be
bringing
that
forward
at
the
second
reading
after
the
ordinance
as
a
proof
of
second
reading,
then
there's
another
resolution
that
would
be
approved
after
that
and
that
approves
all
the
documents.
It
includes
the
application
itself
that
the
company
has
to
provide
the
agreement
with
the
city,
and
then
we
also
will
be
requiring
an
annual
report.
C
So
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
the
the
biggest
advantage
here
is,
as
it
relates
to
ad
valorem
tax
increments
right.
So
if
the,
if
the
business
owner
is
different
than
the
property
owner,
the
for
the
business
owner
to
negotiate
with
the
property
owner
that
look,
you're
gonna
get
a
tax
exemption
here.
I
think
it
is,
but
the
real
the
real
advantage
is
to
the
person
who
owns
the
property
right
right.
B
M
Think
that
the
area
north
of
the
nkow
River,
where
we
have
a
lot
of
undeveloped
property
that
we've
been
trying
to
attract
some
potential
there
would
be
another,
would
be
one
and
also
the
area
by
Live
Oak
and
us
19,
ABC,
packaging
and
Burnett
outdoors.
Are
there
there's
some
underutilized
buildings
there
I
can
see
if
something
turns
over
there.
Somebody
new
comes
in,
they
might
want
to
expand
or
that's
another
industrial
area.
Okay,
thank.
B
B
B
A
couple
other
programs
that
the
city
does
that
I
think
have
been
successful
for
them.
They
use
an
expedited,
permitting
process
program
for
a
lot
of
their
targeted,
estra
industries
that
we're
talking
about
here
and
also
in
areas
that
are
like
kind
of
starving
for
redevelopment.
So
for
us
that
may
be
areas
like
you
know
the
property
in
downtown
manatee
Plaza,
something
like
that.
B
So
you
might
just
have
a
few
hours,
hoping
on
a
day
of
the
week
where
a
new
business
could
come
in
and
say,
hey.
You
know
where's
my
target
audience
here.
What
should
I
do
and
it's
just
kind
of
like
a
little
incubator
program
that
offers
free
advice,
so
I
think
it's.
It's
really
great
that
we're
kind
of
taking
cue
from
Pinellas
County
on
this
I
think
there's
a
lot.
You
know
other
opportunities
for
for
some
successful
piggyback
in
with
them.
E
Karen,
thank
you
for
bringing
this
back
before
us
like
I,
want
to
echo
vice
mayor.
This
is
really
falling
under
the
economic
development
standpoint
and
keeping
the
city
competitive
amongst
other
cities
in
the
area.
I
just
want
a
clarification
when
you
talked
about
qualifying
criteria,
talks
about
100
percent
of
annual
maximum
ad
valorem
exemption,
that's
only
for
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
that
form
portion
of
it
correct
the
same
count
towards
the
county
or
any
other
part
right.
Just.
E
And
then
in
the
back
had
talked
about
like
a
sunset
date
and
ten
years
is
that
just
happened
be
like,
then,
is
it
from
like
when
the
resolution
is
adopted
or
when
it's
voted
by
the
tax
or
the
residence?
Do
you
know,
do
you
have
any
more
details
on
that,
or
can
we
follow
up
on
that
in
between
the
next
meeting,
the.
Q
C
Q
So
if
there
was
an
approved
application,
it
could
and
it
provides
for
a
term
it
could.
You
know,
run
past
that
ten
year
period
of
time,
if
they
were
already
in
in
the
slot?
Okay,
so
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
them.
You
have
a
five
year
plan,
but
you
do
it
in
the
ninth
year.
Does
it
does
it
end?
Gotcha?
The
answer
is
this:
no,
it
will
continue
until
whatever
that
period
of
time
is
that
you
provided,
and
these
things
that
Karen
are
mentioning.
You
know
you.
Q
These
are
your
options
that
you
could
decide
instead
of
a
hundred
percent,
maybe
just
five
percent
and
the
same
thing
about
the
number
of
years
of
the
exemption.
You
could
just
say
one
year
versus
five
years,
but
the
hundred
thousand
dollar
minimum
capital
investment
that
is
being
locked
in.
It's
just
a
sure.
You
really
want
someone
in
here.
It's
gonna
make
a
big.
You
know
a
big
hit
so.
M
L
A
L
L
The
Technical
Review
Committee,
heard
and
recommended
approval
of
the
application
on
December
19th
2019
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
this
as
well
subject
to
nine
conditions
that
are
in
the
staff
report,
as
well
as
the
agreement.
That's
in
your
packet,
I
won't
read
all
the
conditions,
but
they
do
include
the
ramp
must
receive
approval
from
the
city
building
department
prior
to
construction.
The
sideway
sidewalk
must
remain
undisturbed
with
a
clear,
unobstructed,
a.da,
accessibility
and
damage
to
the
sidewalk
will
be
the
responsibility
of
the
applicant
to
repair
and
pay.
L
A
You
I
don't
have
a
question,
but
I
have
a
common
that
I'm
very
glad
to
see
that
the
rain
would
be
installed
to
provide
disabled
access
to
the
people
there
many
times
that
witness
a
lot
of
people
that
trying
to
get
into
the
restaurant
they
can't
get
in.
So
it's
very
frustrating
for
people
with
the
wheelchairs
that
do
want
to
go
to
the
restroom
and
they
can't
Commission
comments.
C
Thank
you,
yeah
I
have
no
issue
supporting
the
application.
I
think
it's
probably
a
good
thing,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
times
as
I'm
driving
by
I
see
disabled
people
trying
to
to
cross.
You
know,
like
everybody,
does
mid-block
and
not
at
the
crosswalk,
and
they
have
a
few.
They
have
a
hard
time
getting
on
the
sidewalk.
So
no
issues
supporting
this.
C
A
E
E
I
mean
at
some
point
it
might
be
a
good
idea
from
the
city
standpoint
just
to
elevate
the
rest
of
the
sidewalk
to
be
one
flat
surface
in
front
of
the
restaurant.
If
they're
an
agreement
to
it,
I
think
it
might
be
an
area
that
we
could
look
to
potentially,
if
there's
an
option
to
raise
the
sidewalks
all
around
the
Sponge,
Docks
and
obviously
the
road
at
some
point
to
with
the
flooding
that
goes
on
the
area,
an
area.
We
could
look
at
to
refine
a
little
further,
but
I
support
this.
C
A
We
are
not
going
to
the
our
number
18
in
store
from
appointment
to
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Advisory
Board.
The
Parks
and
Recreation
Advisory
would
like
to
request
the
the
BOC
considered
reappointment
to
the
board
members
listed
below.
So
this
is
asking
us
to
be
appointing
everybody.
That's
there.
We
have
no
more.
C
A
D
C
C
E
B
You
Mary
yeah.
This
is
something
that
I
questioned
to
staff
when
I
first
saw
it
because
it
didn't
make
sense
to
me
because
most
of
our
boards,
you
know
we
have
those
staggering
terms
we're
putting
people
in
this,
though
I'm
fine
to
approve
it.
I
I
personally
know
a
few
of
these
people
on
their
board
on
this
board
and
and
their
ideas
and
I
think
this
was
one
of
our
one
of
our
boards.
That
really
gets
a
lot
done,
however,
in
the
future.
B
Is
it
my
understanding
that
the
staff
is
gonna,
try
to
make
a
more
Universal
approach
to
our
boards
so
that
we
don't
have
somewhere?
Somebody
can
serve
10
years.
That
kind
of
thing
doesn't
clarify
that,
just
that
we're
working
towards
eventually
all
the
boards
will
be
on
the
same:
here's,
how
many
member
here's,
how
many
you
know
terms
they're
allowed
blah
blah
blah.
Yes,.
E
B
I,
just
I
just
want
to
make
sure
cuz.
This
I
mean
I.
Don't
think
anybody
should
serve
on
any
board
for
ten
years,
but
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
that
kind
of
universal
approach,
because
this
is
a
little
bit
unorthodox
because
I'd
like
to
see
you
know,
are
there?
Are
there
any
other
applicants?
That
was
my
first
question
and
I
guess.
If
we
just
keep
reappointing
reappointing
reappointing,
it's
kind
of
discouraging
people
do
apply
for
the
board
if
they
might
be
interested
in
it.
B
A
D
A
Q
Ernie,
yes,
I'm
tonight,
I'm
asking
a
shade
meeting
or
out
of
the
sunshine
meeting
to
be
scheduled
in
the
lawsuit
titled
Metropolitan
Systems,
Inc
versus
city
of
Turpan
Springs.
This
is
a
lawsuit
that
was
in
fought,
was
filed
back
in
September
of
2019
and
specifics.
This
is
the
the
bus
bench
sign
litigation.
There
has
been
an
offer
of
settlement
that
the
city
has
received
and
we
the
the
attorneys
handling.
The
litigation,
would
like
to
get
input
from
the
city
commission.
A
Q
The
process,
then,
will
be
that
will
issue
a
notice
will
set
the
court
reporter.
It
will
have
to
be
a
you
have
to
be
opened
in
the
open
meeting
aspect
of
it
either
here
or
upstairs
in
the
conference
room.
We
haven't
figured
that
out
yet
well,
we'll
give
you
that,
but
remember
we
open
it
to
the
public
meeting.
We
close
it.
We
go
into
the
shade
meeting
executive
session.
Then
we
come
back
into
the
open
meeting.
We
close
it
again.
Q
E
E
L
E
Had
to
have
one
absolutely
I
did
send
an
email
after
I
believe
I
attended
the
Historic
Preservation
Board
meeting
workshop
and
I
saw
the
mayor.
Was
there
as
well
and
I
mentioned
to
the
city
manager?
It
might
be
a
good
idea
to
have
a
joint
workshop
meeting
amongst
the
two
boards
and
he
replied
back
and
asked
for
a
consensus
and
I
bring
it
up
for
consensus
to
the
rest
of
the
board.
E
So
I
would
like
to
propose
that
we
do
have
a
workshop
with
a
Historic,
Preservation
Board
and
the
BOC
to
discuss
the
changes
that
are
going
to
be
proposed
or
proposed
any
changes
to
the
current
code
before
it
comes
to
the
board
of
Commission
to
be
voted
on.
I
know,
we've
run
some
issues
before
with
other
boards
where
it
comes
to
the
board
of
Commission,
and
it's
not
our
standards
or
what
we
expected,
and
then
our
residents
who
were
volunteering.
E
A
A
C
Good
to
have
a
workshop
I
think
it's
probably
a
good
idea
to
make
sure
we
all
get
on
the
same
page
and
not
have
any
miscommunication
or
misdirection
prior
to
that
board.
Coming
back
with
the
presentation,
I
will
add
that
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
been
done
or
where
it
stands.
But
in
the
past
we
have
made
some
recommendations
that
there
be
an
expanded
list
of
material
list
in
terms
of
not
having
to
go
before
the
Historic
Preservation
Board.
C
If
you're,
you
know
submitting
an
application
and
you
intend
to
use
you
know
material,
X
or
use
window
B
or
whatever
the
case
may
be
to
where
it
kind
of
streamlines
the
Historic
Preservation
Board
approval
process.
So
if
that
hasn't
been
done,
I
still
think
that
it's
really
wise
to
try
and
explore
that
and
come
up
with
some
industry
standard
materials
that
are
basically
a
staff
level
of
approval.
I
think
that
that's
probably
a
really
good
idea,
as
it
relates
to
the
Historic
Preservation
Board
yeah.
