From YouTube: Budget Advisory Committee June 3, 2021
Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Let's
call
meeting
to
order
at
right
at
two
o'clock
june
third
of
the
budget
advisory
committee.
So
we
have
the
agenda
ron.
Are
we
going
to
talk
about
that
tax
thing
at
all
or.
A
D
B
Chair
hills
is
on
our
way,
mr
curus,
here
ms
hall
is
absent,
and
mr
bergerman
here
thank
you.
A
C
So
he
says
you
know
the
property
tax
values.
It's
the
main.
You
know,
revenue
of
the
general
fund,
37
of
the
revenues
of
the
general
fund.
I
budgeted
on
a
conservative,
4.5
taxable
value
increase.
It's
it's
coming
at
6.92,
which
is
good
good.
So
what
it
means
is
right
now
I
I
have
you
know
that
266
thousand
that
were
short
in
the
unassigned
fund
balance
squeezing
with
that'll.
C
Now,
if
I
be
a
little
conservative
still
and
just
say,
okay,
maybe
because
really
it's
still
an
estimate
and
really
the
official
certified
values
come
july
1st
right.
So
even
if
I
do
six
and
a
half
percent
for
right
now,
I'm
saying
it's
another
two
hundred
and
three
thousand
dollars
so
that
266
000
you
know,
brings
us
down
to
about
little.
You
know
over
50,
000
or
so
that
we
need
the
balance
of
general
fund
and
we
found
out
our
health
insurance
will
probably
come
in
less
than
the
eight
percent.
C
The
feeling
that
266
000
between
the
property
tax
values
increasing
over
my
estimate
and
the
health
insurance
coming
in
less
than
my
estimate
of
eight
percent
increase.
It
will
eliminate
that
using
of
the
reserve
on
the
unassigned
fund
balance.
C
A
C
A
So
there's
a
just
quick
update,
you'll
be
happy.
It
was
good
news
on
from
the
tax
right
standpoint
and
it
appears
strongly
that
the
the
benefits
remember.
It
appears
that.
A
Yep
we're
good
okay,
we'll
dive
right
into
the
agenda.
A
beautiful
sunny
day
for
budgeting
procurement
services
good
afternoon.
H
A
A
C
And
just
so
you
know,
janina's
department
is
one
of
the
ones
where
I
think
we
mentioned
last
week
where
the
capitalization
threshold
used
to
be
a
thousand
dollars.
And
now
so
that's
why
you
see
under
the
point
52
the
operating.
We
have
the
three
thousand
dollars
for
computers
where
before
that
would
be
up
in
the
capital,
part
and
stuff.
So
that's
was.
A
Okay,
next
up
police
department,
chief
jeff,
this
is
hello,
hello.
How
are
you.
E
E
It's
going
very
well
have
the
greatest
bunch
of
people
working
around
me,
and
you
know
all
I
got
to
do
is
steer
the
ship
in
the
right
direction.
Chief
coach
and
set
it
up
for
success
for
me.
So
all
is
well.
E
All
right
there
we
go
all
right:
I'm
jeff
young,
I'm,
the
newly
promoted
chief
of
police
for
the
city
of
tarpon
springs
police
department
and
it's
my
honor
and
privilege
to
work
alongside
the
53
sworn
plus,
23
non-sworn
individuals
that
includes
part-time
and
full-time
employees,
that
we
have
for
a
total
of
70
76
employees
at
the
police
department,
and
I'm
going
to
go
through
this
budget
here.
We're
looking
at
our
our
mission
statement
is
the
on
the
first
screen.
E
You
go
back
one
frank,
you
know,
I'm
not
gonna
sit
here
and
read
through
all
these,
but
you
know
the
most
important
thing
is
our
our
mission
statement
has
always
been
working
with
the
community
to
solve
problems
and
being
partners
with
everybody
that
that's
the
only
way,
you're
really
going
to
change.
The
issues
in
town
and
stuff
is
working
together.
Our
vision
simply
put
building
a
better
future.
That
was
something
that
mark
lacourse
when
he
was
police
chief
created
a
vision
for
our
cops
and
kids
program.
E
I
think
it
gives
a
great
plan
for
us
moving
forward
on
where
we
want
to
be,
and
then
the
core
values
chief
coach
and
set
these
up
with
working
with
everybody
in
our
department
from
the
ground,
up,
accountability,
creativity,
integrity,
professionalism
and
quality,
and
most
important
thing
is
that
we
empower
our
officers
to
be
able
to
deliver
on
these
core
values.
E
In
order
to
achieve
our
mission
and
our
our
vision
we're
a
fully
accredited
law
enforcement
agency
through
the
cfa
we're
actually
going
up
for
a
re-accreditation
here
in
december,
major
rogeria
has
been
a
big
part
of
our
accreditation
process.
Now,
sergeant
mathis
has
taken
that
over
this
year
and
he'll
lead
us
over
the
threshold
this
one
again-
and
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
I'll
be
going
to
an
award
for
major
rogerio
here
in
a
couple
weeks,
where
he's
getting
the
team
leader
award
for
accreditors
for
the
state
of
florida.
E
Beyond
rigorous,
I've
got
to
feel
lost,
yeah
people
from
other
agencies
come
here
and
they
crawl
in
and
out
of
your
files
and
examine
everything
and
make
sure
not
only
you're
saying
what
you're
going
to
do,
but
you're
actually
doing
what
you
say,
you're
going
to
do
right.
So
it's
a
complete
transparency
of
the
agency,
and
you
know
I
welcome
any
of
you
all
to
come.
We'll
have
displays
set
up
in
december
and
invite
anybody
to
come
and
sit
and
take
a
take
of
you
and
see
what
the
process
is
about.
E
Excellent,
some
of
the
highlights
of
our
department.
Obviously
we're
24
7
service,
we're
a
full
service
department.
We
have
our
own
crime,
scene,
technicians,
property
and
evidence
room
our
fully
functional
dispatch
center,
our
records
division
k-9
unit,
which
is
an
award-winning
k-9
unit.
I
would
like
to
point
out
as
well:
our
investigative
division,
detectives
narcotics
detectives
worked
in
partnership
on
county
task
force,
as
well
as
the
dea
task
force.
You
know
we
we
average
on
on
average
right
around
33
000
calls
for
service
per
year.
E
I
think
we
had
33
195
last
year,
so
that
kind
of
gives
you
an
overview
of
what
we're
dealing
with
on
a
daily
basis
out
there,
some
of
the
other
highlights
of
our
department.
You
know
our
swat
team,
which
we
do
fund
out
of
the
forfeiture
funds,
which
is
money
that
we
get
from
making
arrests
on
drug
dealers
and
users
and
stuff
when
our
partnership
with
the
dea
we'll
get
you
those
funds
and
that's
what
helps
fund
those
instead
of
coming
out
of
the
general
fund.
A
I'm
just
curious
refresh
me:
if
there's
a
thousand
dollars
captured,
how
much
do
we.
E
It
all
depends
on
what
the
workload
of
our
detective
that
was
out
there
was,
you
know,
sometimes
it'd,
be
one
percent.
Three
percent
might
even
be
up
to
five
to
eight
percent,
depending
on
the
workload
that
the
individual
detective
has
in
the
case,
but
on
average
it's
probably
about
what
around
about
three
percent,
I
would
say
on
for
most
of
the
majority.
E
Correct
the
cases
that
we
bring
forward
and
again
those
will
come
down
the
road.
Some
of
those
dags
will
sit
there
while
they
go
through
the
court
system
for
a
while
to
make
sure
that
everything
was
done
properly
and
then
it'll
come
down
to
the
various
agencies,
but
it
is
a
a
great
tool
for
us
in
law
enforcement
to
get
equipment
and
needs
and
not
be
a
burden
on
the
taxpayers.
E
E
Our
community
policing
efforts
like
I
said
before.
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
probably
do
better
than
most
agencies.
Our
community
engagement
is
widespread
and
it's
department-wide.
It's
not
an
individual
group
or
individual
alone.
That
would
do
it.
Yes,
we
have
a
crime
prevention
officer.
Yes,
we
have
an
officer
at
our
cops
and
kids
center,
but
every
officer
from
myself
on
down
is
encouraged
and
you
know
committed
to
community
involvement
and
being
engaged
with
the
community.
E
So
you
can
see
a
lot
of
our
things
that
are
done
or
stop
walk
and
talk
getting
out
on
foot
they'll
have
their
read-offs
downtown
in
a
in
a
business
or
something
like
that
just
to
be
seen
and
pass
on
notes
and
stuff.
So
a
lot
of
those
types
of
things
just
to
engage
the
community
more
and
social
media
platforms.
These
days
are
definitely
becoming
a
bigger
issue
with
us
too.
So
and
you
you
guys
you
do
it.
No,
I
don't
talk,
but
you
walk
the
talk.
E
Thank
you
appreciate
that
our
peace
team
that
goes
right
back
to
what
we
were
just
talking
about
the
community
engagements,
public
engagement
and
community
education.
These
are
officers
that
will
target
specific
areas.
So
if
we're
getting
complaints
about
people
running,
stop
signs
we'll
send
that
peace,
team
and
the
peace
team
officer
is
assigned
to
each
squad,
so
they'll
go
out
there
and
target
those
areas.
Whether
it's
you
know
downtown
merchants
are
seeing
somebody
you
know
outside
their
business
at
night
or
something
like
that.
E
So
we'll
target
those
types
of
things
with
the
peace
team,
plus
all
the
other
patrol
units,
but
the
patrol
units
are
often
busy
with
calls
for
service,
as
I
pointed
out
earlier,
so
our
crime
prevention
program.
If,
if
you
don't
know
tony
boone,
I
don't
think
you
live
in
tarpon
springs
because
he's
pretty
much
known
by
everybody
in
the
in
the
city.
E
It
seems
like
and
he's
very
proactive
out
there
and
working
together
with
community
partners
with
our
crime
watch
groups
and
our
business
crime
watch
groups,
and
I
think
those
partnerships
go
a
long
long
way
with
developing
the
community
engagement
that
we
were
talking
about.
E
You
know
going
right
back
into
the
community
officers
in
public
schools,
which
is
cops
program
that
was
actually
started
again
under
mark
la
course
when
he
was
the
chief
something
I've
done.
My
whole
career
going
into
the
elementary
school
and
you
you
adopt
a
class
basically
and
you
go
in
and
talk
to
kids.
You
know
engaging
the
kids
early
on
in
life
and
getting
them
to
understand
and
know
them,
respect
the
police
and
know
that
they
can
approach
us
and
talk
to
us
about
things
as
an
important
thing.
E
Kovid
put
his
kibosh
on
all
that
you
know,
so
we
haven't
been
back
in
the
classroom
just
yet.
You
know
we'll
get
back
in
there.
We'll
probably
look
at
kicking
that
back
off
again
next
school
year,
but
it's
definitely
an
important
aspect
of
our.
Our
jobs
is
getting
it
and
building
those
relationships
with
the
kids.
E
Our
sro
units,
we
have
six
sros,
there's
two
out
at
the
high
school
one
at
the
middle
school
and
one
at
each
of
our
three
elementary
schools.
I'd
like
to
point
out
too
this
is
you
know
this
was
something
that
came
out
of
the
marjory
stoneman
douglas
act,
which
makes
requires
all
ages
or
all
areas
to
have
an
officer,
an
sro
or
school
safety
officer
in
and
every
public
school
we've
been
doing
it
all
along
for
many
years,
we've
had
an
elementary
school
astro.
E
Now,
at
that
time
we
had
one
that
went
floating
around
the
three
elementary
schools
we
had
one
out
at
the
middle
school
and
one
at
the
high
school
we've
increased
our
numbers
and
put
one
at
each
elementary
school.
We
didn't
want
to
opt
into
the
security
officer.
We
feel
that
the
police
officer
in
the
schools
early
builds
that
relationship
again
that
we
discussed
earlier.
E
Our
cops
and
kids
program
is
probably
the
highlight
and
and
our
flagship
for
our
community
policing
programs.
If
none
of
you
ever
been
over
to
the
youth
center,
get
get
with
me.
I'd
love
to
take
you
over
there
and
take
you
on
a
tour
of
it
and
show
you
firsthand
what
the
actual
cops
and
kids
center
is
all
about,
and
it
it.
E
I
can't
say
enough
about
it:
our
partnerships
with
the
housing
authority,
robin
red,
the
director
of
the
housing
authority,
oversees
the
youth
center
for
us
and
then
our
partnerships
with
the
jwb
in
the
state
of
florida
and
juvenile
justice.
We
get
our
grant
money
through
them.
That's
what
fully
funds
the
program
we
do!
A
budget
line,
budget
items
for
things
that
we
do
out
of
the
youth
center
daily.
You
know
we
provide
meals
out
there
for
the
kids
at
school.
E
These
are
kids
that
if
we
didn't
have
the
youth
center
there
for
them,
they're
not
going
to
go
home
and
have
a
meal
they're
not
going
to
go
home
and
have
accessibility
to
a
computer
or
anything
of
that
nature.
We
have
workstations
in
there.
We
have
staff
over
there
at
the
youth
center
that
are
just
incredible
and
helping
these
kids
be
successful
in
life,
a
matter
of
fact,
a
lot
of
them
come
back
after
the
fact.
I
see
them
years
later
hugged
you
know,
thanked
enough
force.
E
One
of
our
sergeants
is
a
product
of
our
cops
and
kids
center
sergeant
mathis
grew
up
with
cops
and
kids,
and
you
know
I'll
often
point
out
to
him
saying
this
is
I
can't
measure
success?
I
can't
tell
you
what
the
stats
are
on
the
number
of
kids
that
we've
helped
to
improve
those
numbers
I
don't
have,
but
I
can
point
at
individuals
and
say
there's
a
success.
If
we
can
have
success
like
that
with
one
individual
at
a
time,
then
every
program
is
worth
it
like.
E
I
said
our
after
school
program
is
monday
through
friday
from
1
30
to
6
30.,
there's
about
65
children
in
there
right
now,
the
summer
program
getting
ready
to
kick
off
we'll
have
around
75
kids.
In
that
program
you
know.
Normally
speaking
in
other
years,
we
do
a
lot
of
field
trips
and
other
hands-on
experiences
with
them,
trying
to
get
them
in
involved
in
learning
opportunities
that
are
out
there.
We'll
have
to
try
to
see
if
jwb
will
approve
those
types
of
things
this
year
with
just
coming
out
of
cobit
and
stuff.
E
So
it's
it's
been
a
challenge:
dorne
kovid.
I
could
tell
you
that
we
were
feeding
a
lot
of
kids
and
helping
out
tremendously
right
out
of
the
youth
center
officer.
Quinones
was
going
around
picking
up
all
the
meals
and
delivering
them
personally
to
there,
and
then
we
establish
a
pickup
site
at
the
center.
So
these
kids
during
covid,
when
everybody
couldn't
get
a
meal,
get
there,
we
were
making
sure
our
kids
were
fed.
So
I
was
very
proud
and
happy
about
that.
E
Fantastic
yeah
next
one
just
the
organizational
chart
and
no
changes
really
on
that
one
for
you:
emergency
operations,
center,
the
police
and
fire
we
share
building
over
there
at
the
main
public
safety
facility,
and
we
work
very
closely
with
the
fire
department.
They'll
come
in
after
us
all
the
time,
and
but
we
do
work
very
closely
with.
We
have
a
great
working
relationship
with
the
fire
department
and
the
city
ought
to
be
very
proud
of
what
is
goes
on
in
our
eoc
center
and
the
collaborative
work
of
every
department.
E
You
know
they'd
be
very,
very
impressed.
I
think
people
would
be
very
surprised
to
see
what's
happening
inside
the
eoc
center
and
I
think
that's
all
under
the
direction
of
chief
young
and
I'll,
give
him
credit
there
as
our
emergency
manager
and
mark,
of
course,
city
manager,
but
a
lot
of
the
things
that
come
through
that
area
there
we
provide
the
services,
continue:
police
patrols,
high
water
vehicles,
some
of
the
high
water
rescue
vehicles,
you'll,
see
rm
rap
and
other
ones.
E
Those
are
the
only
vehicles
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
get
through
most
of
the
town,
so
most
y'all,
probably
rode
just
today
in
a
little
storm
and
half
the
streets
are
flooded
when
we
get
try
to
get
out
there
during
a
storm.
We
have
four
by
four
trucks.
We
have
high
water
rescue
vehicles
and
stuff,
because
most
of
these
vehicles
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
endure
going
through
the
puddle,
and
you
know
I
know,
there's
a
big
push
like
with
electric
vehicles
and
stuff.
E
Well,
I'm
not
going
to
get
an
electric
car
out
on
the
other
side
of
town
right
now.
You
know,
maybe
when
they
build
up
the
four
by
fours
and
they're
up
high
enough
and
we
can
get
through
deeper
water,
then
you
can
look
at
bigger
avenues
for
for
vehicles
like
that,
but
right
now,
there's
still
a
need
for
four
by
fours
and
other
large
vehicles
search
and
rescue
types
drones,
small
vessels.
You
know
these
are
all
parts
of
our
coup
plan
and
our
eoc
plans
continue
operation
plans.
E
You
know
these
are
things
that
we
do
back
after
irma,
the
city
give
the
city
lead
initiative
by
the
city
manager
in
the
boc.
They
gave
us
direction.
Hey,
we
sure
saw
these
shortfalls
one
of
the
big
ones,
and
I
asked
then
sergeant
rogerio
to
lay
out
a
plan
for
us
19,
because
we're
responsible
for
everything
north
on
klosterman
on
what
happens
if
all
the
lights
go
down?
Well,
we
can't
have
an
officer
out
at
every
single
intersection
darneth.
E
We
recognized
that
door
in
irma,
so
we
came
up
with
a
operational
plan
and
city
manager
working
with
the
boc.
We
were
able
to
acquire
funds
through
run
and
there
was
a
lot
of
targeted
things
as
well
as
communications
and
other
aspects.
E
This
is
just
one
little
highlight
of
a
a
whole
package
that
helped
with
the
eoc
and
preparedness
for
storms
and
those
barricades
and
everything
we
could
set
up
and
close
down
all
the
left
turn
lanes
of
u.s
19,
so
everything
is
directional
and
they
would
have
to
go
down
to
areas
and
make
u-turns,
instead
of
just
everybody
being
a
free-for-all.
So
we
have
a
very
good
operational
plan
again:
the
thi
trailers,
special
events,
trailers.
These
are
all
just
part
of
preparedness
and
being
ready,
coven
19.
E
E
Coven
19
definitely
help
with
the
this
one
here,
oh
that
that
one's
up-
okay,
all
right,
I
apologize
so
the
police
budget
perspectives
for
the
physical
years
over
the
last
since
2018
we'll
recognize
about
a
25
increase
at
roughly
about
a
5
increase
per
year.
I
think
this
year
we're
looking
at
us
close
to
6
percent
that
that
8.3
to
9
million
is
more
like
about
a
8.9.
E
I
think
is
right
around
the
actual
number.
Those
are
just
you
know
submitted
right
there,
but
the
majority
of
this
year's
budget
with
the
6.6
increase
5
of
that
is,
is
salaries,
so
the
largest
majority
of
it
is
all
salary
increases
that
we'll
be
looking
at
here
on
the
next
page.
You
can
see
here
there's
an
overall
five
point:
eight
percent
increase
of
four
hundred
and
two
dollar
two
thousand
dollars
in
personal
services
and
then
operating
expenses.
E
Another
8.6
and
again,
a
lot
of
those
are
just
finance
calculations
that
we
have
not
much:
control
of
electric
service
insurance,
fleet
maintenance,
vehicle
fuel,
the
cost
fuel
everything
going
up.
Those
are
things
that
are
happening.
We
do
pretty
much
maintain
almost
a
balanced
budget
compared
to
the
last
years
with
operating
costs
and
things
of
that
nature.
Taking
a
slight
increase.
E
Well,
you
know
like
last
year
I
can't
use
last
year
as
a
comparison
right
now.
2020
our
numbers
will
be
down.
Covid
stopped
all
special
events.
Kovid
stopped
a
lot
of
things.
You
know
we
did
get
a
112
000
grant
through
the
state
for
reimbursement
for
overtime
that
was
coveted,
related
and
or
any
ppe
related
items
coming
back
to
us.
So
that's
done
monthly.
We
do
a
submittal
to
the
state
showing
them.
This
is
overtime.
E
That's
related
to
kovid,
so
we'll
be
getting
reimbursement
on
some
of
that,
so
2020
numbers
should
be,
should
be
relatively
down
into
2021
with
covid
moving
forward.
Can
we
predict
an
actual
number
for
overtime?
You
know
we
had
a
triple
homicide
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
a
couple
years
ago.
The
manpower
is
very,
very
manpower
intensive.
You
know
one
event
like
that.
Could
spike
our
numbers
well
beyond
anything
that
we
do.
We
do
know
that
every
year
we're
going
to
have
epiphany
every
year.
E
We're
going
to
have
you
know
all
these
certain
events
in
town
that
we
do
have
cost
needs
for
overtime,
but
I
think
you
know
the
city
does
a
great
job
on
broadcasting
for
those
those
unexpected
things,
though
it's
the
line
of
work
that
police
are
in
fire
in
there's
going
to
be
over
time.
Some
years
are
going
to
be
a
little
more
impactful
than
others.
A
E
F
A
E
Yeah
during
spring
break
we're
out
there.
You
know
we'll
have
to
put
manpower
out
there
because
we're
getting
calls
for
service
and
it's
going
to
impact
the
road
where
they're
not
able
to
go
out
to
the
calls
for
service
outside
of
the
beach
areas.
So
those
are
things
that
do
come
about
and
you
know
overtime
is
just
part
of
the
business.
E
I
think
we
probably
just
highlighted
all
that
already
too
probably
skip
over
that
one
and
this
one
here,
the
you
know,
one
of
the
big
things
for
us
is
training
a
lot
of
required
every
four
years.
Every
officer
has
required
40
hours
of
mandatory
retraining,
and
this
encompasses
a
lot
of
that
training.
There.
We
do
the
majority
of
our
training
in-house
a
lot
of
our
instructors
like
major
ruggiero
made
trail,
others
all
teach
at
our
local
police
academies
as
well.
So
we
we
get
top-notch
in-house
training
at
a
low
cost
to
the
city.
E
But
again
it
does
cost
money
to
train,
and
you
know
we'll
have
to
do
it
on
overtime
and
bringing
our
shifts
in,
because
we
still
have
to
maintain
the
road
and
then
pay
the
officer
while
they're
doing
the
training
and
so
forth.
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
mandatory
high
mandatory
areas
right
there
that
every
four
years
you're
required
to
have
those
things
and
some
of
the
big
ones
you
see
up
there
to
mental
health
training
dealing
with
ptsd
other
things
of
that
nature:
cultural
diversity,
firearms,
training.
E
You
know
any
highlight
what
they
call
high
liability
issues,
use
of
force
taser
that
stuff
we
do
in-house
very,
very,
very
often
quite
quite
more
than
just
the
mandatory
training,
because
we
feel
that
a
well-prepared
officer
is
a
much
less
liability
out
there
on
the
road
so
go
into
the
next
one.
E
You
know
some
of
the
other
trainings
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
and
doing
that
on
here.
You
know
one
of
the
the
big
ones,
the
cit
training
crisis,
intervention
team
training.
I
think
we
have
that
on
the
next.
The
next
slide,
along
with
right
training,
racial
intelligence,
training
and
education.
You
know
these
are
things
that
we've
been
doing
for
years
and
while
you
see
it
around
the
nation,
it
seems
to
be
a
hot
topic
issues
and
stuff
like
that.
E
But
I
always
tell
people
look
come
look
at
what
we've
been
doing,
not
what
we're
going
to
do.
But
what
we've
been
doing
you
know
we're
not
coming
out
and
saying
hey.
We
need
to
do
this
training
starting
tomorrow.
You
know
we
want
to
expand
on
these
other
ones.
You
know
we've
been
doing
the
right
training
for
years,
but
now
we'll
we
can
expand
on
and
do
other
things,
but
I
think
we've
been
well
ahead
of
the
curve
on
many
of
the
issues,
especially
the
social
issues
that
are
facing
law
enforcement.
Today,.
E
E
F
E
Some
accreditation
comments,
I
said
I'll,
lend
you
frank,
but
don't
even
think
you're
taking
them
so
the
city
revenues
for
police
services.
There
we
get
about
seventy
four
thousand
dollars
for
our
off-duty
detail,
work
that
comes
back
into
general
fund,
another
three
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
four
hundred
for
our
sros.
It
doesn't
pay
for
everything
fully
it's
about.
65
percent
of
the
cost
coverage,
another
six
thousand
dollars
from
the
pinellas
county
sheriff's
office.
That
was
the
part
of
the
drug
task
force.
I
talked
to
you
about.
E
We
have
one
detective
assigned
to
the
county-wide
task
force,
another
one
to
the
dea,
which
is
the
next
one
down
where
we
do
get
reimbursed
for
for
their
overtime
as
well
down
there
at
the
dea
task
force.
E
The
code
enforcement
off
also
falls
under
the
police
department.
Our
budget
there
is
this
is
not
an
enterprise
fund
or
anything.
So
it's
the
amount
of
revenue
that's
coming
in
is
submitted
that
goes
into
the
general
fund.
The
submitted
budget
for
this
year
is
right
up
there
and
is
really
pretty
much
straightforward,
the
federal
equitable
sharing.
I
think
I
pretty
much
briefed
you
on
that
already.
Did
you
have
that
one
on
me.
E
Oh
okay,
there,
it
is,
I'm
sorry
federal,
equitable
sharing.
That's
where
we'll
draw
down
out
of
there
to
fund
our
swat
team,
our
canine
unit
and
additional
patrol
units
outside
of
the
general
fund.
We
do
our
police
website
maintenance
out
of
there
as
well
too.
This
way,
it's
not
an
impact
on
the
general
fund
with
that
I'll
open
it
up
to
any
questions.
A
E
E
E
There's
nothing
increased
accentuating
those
are
just
calls
or
cases
that
were
just
held
okay.
It
was
almost
to
the
point,
like
you
know,
with
the
housing
market,
where
you
couldn't
do
anything
until
after
the
cove
is
over
and
then
all
right
now
we
can
bring
these
things
forward
and
see
what
the
board
wants
to
do.
The
code
board,
that
is,
okay,.
I
Yeah
in
regards
to
to
special
pay
and
off
duty
assignments,
what
what
is
special
pay
and
with
with
the
off-duty
assignments?
How
are
those
budgeted
back
in
for
other
reimbursement
from
the
different
vendors,
where.
E
I
I
Well,
I
see
well,
I
guess
I
have
two
questions
with
regard
to
that.
First,
what
is
special
pay?
E
Oh
yeah,
those
are
contract,
negotiated
items
so,
like
the
detective
pay,
they'll
get
a
five
percent
increase
for
serving
as
a
detective
boot
allowance.
Every
officer
gets
a
hundred
dollars
annually
for
their
for
boot
reimbursement
clothing.
Allowance
court
is
done
quarterly,
so
those
are
all
the
specialized
pays
and
so
forth
that
come
out
with.
I
E
I
General
fund,
okay
and
then
so
I
also
noticed
for
for
the
last
fiscal
year.
There
was
a
lot
of
things.
There
was
a
lot
of
items
under
maintenance
that
were
budgeted
in
the
last
fiscal
year
in
this
fiscal
year.
Again.
Is
that
something
that
gets
that
that
that
you
guys
all
do
every
year
or
like,
for
example?
E
G
G
Mike
is
I'm
not
as
concerned
with
overtime?
I
think
you
all
manage
it,
and
chief
coaching
showed
us
that
paper
last
year,
but
it
seems
like
we
always
budget
that
425
000.
do.
We
need
to
look
at
maybe
budgeting
more
at
the
450
level,
because
that
seems
to
be
where
we
ran
in
fy,
20
and
year-to-date
april,
we're
on
track
for
453.
So
are
we
just
stuck
on
budgeting
that
425?
Because
that's
the
number
we've
used
or.
C
E
I
think
that's
something
that
we
could
definitely
look
at
working
on
in
the
future.
It
seems
like
every
year
you
know
we're
going
to
come
back
to
those
there'll
be
lean
years
and
then
there's
going
to
be
fat
years
apparently,
but
you
know,
working
with
ron's
always
been
easy
in
getting
those
budget
transfers
done.
It
seems
to
be
a
sweet
point
right
now.
E
I
know
that
before
chief
coaching
came
before
you
all
a
couple
years
ago,
and
I
think
he
did
get
an
increase,
what
about
two
or
three
years
ago
correct
to
the
to
the
overtime
budget,
because
it
was
like
three
hundred
thousand
two
hundred
seventy
five
to
three
hundred
thousand.
If
I
remember
correctly
so
it
did
get
an
increase
which
was
more
favorable
that
you
know
we
could
work
within
this
as
best
we.
G
E
E
Into
admin-
and
you
know
it's
so.
C
C
G
G
E
Yeah
we
got
I'm
sure
that
you
recall,
when
chief
coach
came
forward,
we
purchased
and
implemented
our
body-worn
camera
system.
So
that's
where
that
increase
is
coming
into.
C
E
36
000
for
our
taser
upgrade
because
our
tasers
are
at
their
end
of
life
use.
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
replacing
those.
G
Okay
and
then,
when
we
were
talking
about
the
special
pay
up
there,
it's
got
clothing
allowance
per
pba
contract.
So
how
does
that
line
up
with
like
in
the
operating
supplies
we
have
replacement
uniforms?
So
is
that
too
different.
E
So
so,
clothing
allowance
for
the
maintenance
and
upkeep
of
the
uniforms
themselves,
so,
in
other
words
the
laundering
of
them.
The
replacement
is
just
that
the
annual
replacement
we
replace
the
uniforms
annually
because,
as
you
can
imagine,
when
you're
out
there
in
the
heat
with
a
vest
on
and
sweating,
and
they
need
to
be
changed.
A
C
You
know,
if
I
can
say
I
know
a
lot
of
their
some
of
their
budgets
might
be
a
little
bit
more
if
it's
a
regular
maintenance.
But
I
know
last
year
at
this
time
when
kovitz
started,
we
worked
with
departments
and
the
departments
really
came
in
and
and
anything
that
wasn't
essential.
They
didn't
get
this
stuff.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
some
of
this
stuff
in
some
of
your
departments,
especially
fire
and
police,
are
stuff
that
you
know,
maybe
if
they
didn't
need
it
last
year
they
didn't
get
it.
C
I
Was
there
was
also
a
rise
in
the
physicals
from
last
fiscal
year?
I
think
I
believe
if
I
looked
at
it.
E
That'll
be
coming
up
for
this
year
because
we're
doing
every
five
years.
We
do
chest
x-rays,
so
that
is
just
an
addition.
I
think
it's
what
65
dollars
per
person
additional.
C
J
Of
yours,
good
thanks
welcome
everybody.
Thank
you
for
having
us
here
today.
I
gave
you
a
little
handout
of
our
powerpoint.
It's
not
that
big,
not
that
long,
some
of
the
stuff
this
last
year.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
our
department
has
endured.
J
I
think
our
emergency
management
department
that
we
oversee
was
kind
of
taxed
this
year
because
of
covid
we
had
a
more
than
just
a
fire
department
to
run
this
year.
We
had
a
whole
coed
response
to
keep
up.
We
had
a
great
team
of
employees
working
helping
us
out,
along
with
the
police
department,
working
with
us
side
by
side.
J
A
lot
of
decisions
had
to
be
made
this
year
that
none
of
us
really
had
training
for
kovac
kind
of
hit
us
out
of
the
blue,
so
we
had
to
work
on
the
fly
on
a
lot
of
that
stuff.
At
the
same
time,
keeping
the
department
running
and
running
calls
our
paramedics
out
there
in
the
field
were
thrown
into
a
situation.
They've
never
been
trained
for
to
that
extent
before
before
they
just
go
out
on
calls
and
go
into
the
house
and
now
there's
procedures.
J
There
are
little
suits
and
stuff
they
had
to
put
on
just
to
go
in
the
house,
take
care
of
patients
and
stuff.
So
I
commend
them
for
their
efforts
this
year.
Right
now,
it
seems
to
be
you
know,
going
to
the
wayside
a
little
bit
hopefully
knock
on
some
wood,
but
that
I
just
want
to
point
that
out
that
our
department
really
worked
hard
this
year,
trying
to
keep
all
that
in
check.
J
We've
had
medics
the
pinellas
county
fire
chiefs,
along
with
the
county
em
helped
get
some
of
the
first
co-ed
vaccine
sites
up
this
year,
working
throughout
the
county,
training
medics
to
give
vaccines.
We
put
in
about
1200
hours
of
medics,
going
down
doing
vaccines,
sticking
people's
arms
for
months
so
and
all
that
over
time
was
going
to
be
reimbursed
by
the
county.
So
I
think
we're
about
thirty
forty
thousand
dollars
in
overtime
right
now
that
we
should
be
getting
back
from
the
county.
J
So
I
just
wanna
point
that
out
before
we
get
started
here
so
as
you
can
see
from
the
slide
up
there,
our
proposed
budgets
a
little
over
six
million
dollars
compared
to
the
last
five
years,
we're
about
0.6
over
similar
to
what
the
pd
was
talking
about.
The
increase
is
pretty
much
just
the
salaries
increases,
insurances
and
things
like
that.
J
Our
budget
of
vehicles
for
this
upcoming
year-
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
I've,
seen
the
commission
meeting
recently.
The
city
signed
a
new
lease
agreement
to
buy
a
new
engine
in
fiscal
22.
J
This
is
part
of
the
five-year
capital
plan,
we're
approached
again
by
pierce
about
a
new
engine
ordering
it
now,
rather
than
after
the
fiscal
year.
We
we
looked
at
interest
interest
rates,
we're
very
favorable
right
now.
I
think
we
got
it
at
1.74
percent
of
interest.
J
We
also
get
9.6
of
the
cost
of
the
engine
back
from
the
county,
but
that's
for
covering
the
unincorporated
areas
of
the
city.
So
some
of
the
reasons
main
reasons
we
did
it
was-
we
won't
incur
the
three
percent
or
more
annual
increase
that
the
pierce
has
every
year
in
october,
we
also
are
able
to
trade
in
our
oldest
engine,
we're
getting
about
fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
that
engine,
believe
it
or
not.
J
J
J
That
also
is
repaid
about
9.6
percent
from
the
county
on
on
those
payments,
and
then
we
also
have
a
new
truck
pickup
truck
budgeted
for
the
upcoming
year.
Also,
and
then,
just
in
the
box
there,
you
can
see
kind
of
what
our
five-year
plan
is
on
vehicles
and
engines
and
stuff.
So
after
this
engine
right
now,
we
probably
won't
need
a
new
engine.
Hopefully
unless
something
happens
until
about
2026.,
and
I
put
an
estimated
cost
of
950
000
for
that,
I
really
couldn't
tell
you
what
that's
going
to
be.
J
Cost
of
them
are
going
up,
one
of
the
biggest
costs
that
we
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
right
after
we
got
the
approval
for
the
engine,
the
dealer
called
and
said
I
told
them
we
were
approved.
The
contractor
was
gonna,
be
unsigned
and
he
said
off
the
record.
J
We
have
a
what's
on
the
record
now,
but
they
have
a
massive
increase
that
was
starting
about
a
month
after
because
of
all
the
metals
and
everything
that
are
going
up
in
price,
so
they
have
to
do
a
huge
increase
even
before
their
annual
increase.
So
we
slid
right
into
that,
so
I
don't
know
how
much
that
would
have
been,
but
I
think
we
have
big
cost
savings
there.
J
So
here's
how
our
funding
works,
pinellas,
county
ems
contract
funding,
the
county,
provides
about
1.6
million
and
almost
1.7
million
dollars
for
our
ems
department.
This
is
about
a
three
little
over
three
percent
increase
from
last
year.
What
they
gave
us.
We
also
have
a
contract
with
them
for
fire
that
provides
about
five
hundred
seven
thousand
dollars
a
year.
This
is
for
us
to
cover
the
unincorporated
areas
of
the
city.
J
We
also
get
some
specialty
funding
from
them.
They
give
us
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
maintenance
on
our
fire
boat
and
they
give
us
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
our
marine
unit
maintenance.
That's
a
little
zodiac
that
we
have
out
of
one
of
the
stations
for
shallow
water
rescues.
J
So
how
it
breaks
down
you
see
that
we
get
about
almost
2.2
million
dollars
from
the
county
for
fire
and
ems,
the
city
funds
about
3.8
million
dollars,
and
that
comes
up
with
our
6.03
one
million
dollar
budget.
Our
operating
expenditure,
as
you
can
see
in
2020,
was
about
885
000
right
now,
we're
projecting
about
and
twenty
one
thousand
this
year
and
we
budgeted
eight
hundred
sixty
nine
thousand
for
twenty
twenty
two.
So
that's
where
we're
at
with
that,
and
I
take
that
and
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
G
J
C
Yeah
the
budget
department
at
the
at
the
county
says
you
know
what
your
fire
district
area
is
and
it's
the
area
that's
in
that
district,
but
it's
outside
this
between
the
city
limits
and
the
outer
right
area
of
that
district.
What
we're
covering
they
do
it
by
the
taxable
values
of
that
area
outside
the
city.
That's
still
in
that
district.
J
J
They
come
about
with
a
spreadsheet,
they
send
us
a
spreadsheet
every
year
and
there's
certain
costs
that
they
project
in
there.
The
finance
department
will
then
go
back
through
and
look
at
some
of
the
costs
for
equipment,
maintenance.
Things
like
that
and
there's
a
percentage
that
goes
into
that
and
that's
how
they
come
out
with
their
final
number,
what
they
give
us,
I
don't
know
I
haven't
seen
it
go
up
or
down
on
the
9.6
for
quite
a
few
years,
so
I
I
don't
know
if
it
plans
on
changing
anytime
soon.
J
A
I
Other
questions
yeah
did:
did
you
want
to
comment
on
the
emergency
management
funds
and
the
risk
management
funds?
The.
J
J
They
review
all
the
incident
reports
throughout
the
city
that
helps
with
our
work,
workman's
comp
rates
to
say
that
we
have
a
program
that
we're
trying
to
keep
injuries
down,
helps
with
our
cpr
training,
our
mannequins,
that
we
have
to
keep
purchasing
that
we
do
for
the
public,
all
the
city
aed
program,
all
these
buildings
in
the
city.
We
maintain
and
keep
those
aeds
up
in
the
buildings.
So
all
those
are
recurring
costs
every
year
that
we
have
to.
J
You
know
the
little
pads
you
put
on
those
they
expire,
believe
it
or
not,
so
we
have
to
keep
those
up
to
make
sure
that
they
work.
So
that's
the
city
safety
building
is
program
is
the
emergency
management
program.
That
is,
that
funding
for
the
fork
about
fourteen
thousand
dollars.
That's
for
a
lot
of
the
software
like,
I
said,
the
generators
fuels
maintenance
on
generators
for
the
buildings
or
eoc
upgrades
that
we
have
to
keep
up
for
voc
to
operate
and
on
function.
A
K
Good
afternoon,
everyone,
how
are
you
I'm?
Well?
How
are
you
life
is
good.
Okay,
I'm
relaxing,
like
you
say,
I'm
bob
robertson,
I'm
the
project
administration,
department,
director
and
that's
it.
No,
so
just
a
real,
quick
summary
of
the
project
administration
department.
We
are
the
de
facto
engineering
department
for
the
city,
there's
a
giant
staff
of
three
of
us
and
we
administer
projects.
We
manage
projects,
city
projects,
utilities,
infrastructure,
you
name
it
we'll
we'll
oversee
it
either
through
design
or
through
construction
or
both.
K
My
budget
is
about.
My
annual
budget
is
almost
entirely
salaries
for
the
three
of
my
staff,
including
me.
Increasing
we've
increased
it
by
about
12
percent
over
last
year's
budget,
and
that's
primarily
because
what
I'm
asking
for
this
year
is
a
50
increase
in
my
3100
fund
for
professional
services,
increasing
that
from
sixty
thousand
to
ninety
thousand.
I
have
seen
a
need
for
how
do
I
say
it:
rapid
engineering
response.
K
K
For
example,
city
managers
got
an
offer
to
purchase
a
property
and
he's
interested
in
it
and
wants
to
do
an
analysis
of
the
wetlands
or
we
need
to
do
some
survey
work
or
we
need
to
know
if
a
parking
lot
will
fit
in
this
in
this
lot,
and
and
so
we
need
to
size
it
and
do
some
preliminary
sketches.
This
gives
me
the
flexibility
to
respond
to
those
quickly
and
to
get
those
answers
to
the
city
manager
or
to
the
commission
or
whoever's
asking
me
for
them.
So.
A
K
That's
correct,
yeah
right,
we've
already
hired
those
those
engineering
firms
are
on
basically
on
standby
for
us
and
we
can
work
with
a
a
number
of
firms.
Now,
we've
got
a
whole
system
set
up
for
not
only
engineering
services
but
survey
and
geotechnical
and
hydrogeographical
and
and
all
kinds
of
stuff.
A
K
Right
I
mean
if,
if
it's
a
project,
where
we're
going
to
spend
some
time
doing
it
or
we
it's
a
funded
project,
let's
say
from
public
services
and
they've
got
a
utilities
project
that
they
want
to
do.
They
want
to
put
a
new
pipeline
in
it's
a
mile
long.
Well,
I'm
not
going
to
use
this
60
90
000
that
you
authorize
me
for,
or
the
board
authorizes
me
to
use
we're
going
to
use
a
proper
budget
system
they're
going
to
have
the
money
set
aside
in
their
cip.
Okay,
that
would
include
the
engineering
services.
K
K
A
A
L
Praise
the
lord
yes,
oh
boy,
good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
diane
wood.
I
am
the
director
for
the
city's
culture
and
civic
services
department
and
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
perspective
under
that
umbrella,
of
course,
is
carrie
at
the
library
and
also
tarpon
arts,
and
the
tarpon
arts
section
is
our,
of
course,
our
performing
arts
and
our
our
museum.
You
know
section
what
I've
given.
You
is
confidential,
wonderful
information,
because
we're.
L
You've
got
here
is
hot
off
the
press.
Nobody
knows
it.
This
is
confidential,
but
this
is
a
season
that
I
have
done.
I
have
done
four
different
times
now.
If
we
scheduled
it,
so
I'm
very
excited
that
we're
going
to
be
bringing
live,
entertainment
back,
but
I
also
wanted
to
call
your
attention
to
this
map,
and
I
think
I've
shown
it
to
you
before
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
I'm
most
proud
of
those
little
green
dots
that
you
see
there.
L
Those
represent
ticket
sales-
and
so
this
kind
of
illustrates
to
you
just
how
effective
our
department
is
in
bringing
people
from
not
just
the
tarpon
springs
area,
but
also
outside
areas
to
the
city,
and
we
have
lots
of
incentives
for
them
to
to
come
and
stay
and
partake
in
our.
You
know,
area
businesses
and
things
like
that.
L
So
we
have
a
restaurant
program
where
they
can
take
their
ticket
stub
and
go
into
our
participating
restaurants
and
show
them
the
ticket
stub
and-
and
we
have
an
agreement
with
the
restaurant,
that
they'll
give
them
like
a
a
glass
of
you,
know:
wine
or
a
beer
or
15
off
of
their
their
ticket.
It's
always
with
a
purchase,
so
it
allows
you
know
the
merchants
to
make.
You
know
some
money
too
and
discover
new
places
in
tarpon
springs.
L
So,
as
you
know,
the
performing
arts
industry
has
came
to
a
creeching
screeching
halt
for
kovid
and
it
really
impacted
us
tremendously.
L
However,
we
did
work
with
our
fire
department,
our
police
department
and,
of
course,
the
other
departments
here
within
the
city
and
our
city
manager
to
be
able
to
do
some
sort
of
shows
for
the
public.
So
what
we
did
is
we
have
a
component
of
tarpon
arts
that
is
community
theater,
and
this
is
very
important
to
us,
our
community
theater
folks,
because
they
are
integral
in
allowing
us
to
get
grants
and
things
as
well.
But
these
people
are
not
paid,
we
pay
the
director
and
we
have
to
pay
royalties
for
the
show.
L
But
a
lot
of
these
people
are
all
volunteers
that
are
you
know
that
work
and
come
and
spend
time
to
put
on
a
great
show
for
us.
So
we
were
able
to
socially
distance
and
do
all
of
the
things
that
were
necessary
to
put
on
shows
at
our
heritage
museum,
because
that's
the
only
place
where
we
could
safely
change
around
the
the
when
we
had
to
do
it
manually.
L
But
the
positive
response
that
we
got
was
was
so
great
for
us,
because
people
were
saying
that
they
were
depressed
because
they,
you
know,
couldn't
go
anywhere,
do
anything,
and
so
we
did
just
comedy,
shows
and
gave
them
a
safe
environment,
and
they
were
very,
very
happy.
You
know
to
be
able
to
get
out
and
do
that,
but
in
order
to
make
it
work
financially,
we
would
normally
be
doing
this
show
at
the
cultural
center
and
we'd
have
six
shows
so
we'd
have
we
did
it
at
the
heritage
museum
and
we
did
ten
shows.
L
So
there
was
even
you
know
more
so
of
a
commitment
for
our
community
theater
folks,
and
so
we're
very
grateful
to
them
and
very
proud
of
that
we
were
able
to
stay
viable
during
a
time
when
you
know
everything
else
was
shut
down.
So.
L
The
heritage
museum:
yes,
we
were
only
able
to
do
34
to
37
seats
depending
on
the
tickets
that
were
sold
and
that's
why
we
had
to
increase
it
to
10
shows
just
so.
We
could
make
sure
that
we
covered
all
of
our
expenses,
so
we
actually
made
you
know
money
from
the
shows,
so
we
increase
revenue
but
and
also
but
the
goodwill
I
think
was.
L
Thing
that
we
were
so
proud
of,
and
so
I'm
very
excited
that
we
are
able
to
have
a
a
new
season
and,
of
course,
without
being
able
to
put
on
all
the
shows
that
we
would
normally
every
year.
Of
course,
we
didn't
have
the
expenses
that
we
would
normally
have
on
a
regular
basis.
So
you
will
see
that
there
are
some
significant
increases
in
my
budget
for
certain.
L
We've
got
to
increase
hours
for
some
of
our
part-time
people
as
well,
as
you
know,
maybe
eventually
add
another
part-time
person.
So
with
that
being
said,
and
I'd
be
happy
to
share
the
the
five-year
strategic
plan
with
you
all,
so
you
can,
you
know
see
that
as
well,
but
I
felt
like
it
was
necessary
to
plan
ahead
when
something
like
coveted
comes
up,
and
you
know
it's
so
unexpected.
L
But
you
know
we
are
doing
such
a
great
job
here
in
tarpon
springs
with
our
people
are
coming
to
our
you
know,
to
the
heritage
museum
to
the
stafford
house,
and
we've
got
some
great
programs
that
carrie
and
I
are
going
to
do
together
as
far
as
you
know,
partnering
with
the
the
library
to
bring
some
of
their
programs
over
to
the
cultural
center
when
we
open
up
and
then
I've
also
talked
to
the
historical
society
and
also
our
tarpon
springs
art
association
to
do
programs
bring
their
programs
into
the
cultural
center
too,
to
make
it
a
real
hub
of
activity
all
the
time
you
know
to
celebrate
the
arts
as
far
as
the
visual
arts
and
the
performing
arts,
but
also
to
have
meetings
there.
L
Where
you
know
people
can
see
this
wonderful
building
that
is
historic
and
and
absolutely
gorgeous.
You
know
so
with
that,
I
will
open
it
up
to
questions
that
you
might
have
for
me.
A
L
L
And
I
will
tell
you
also
I'm
sorry
to
keep
chattering,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we're
doing.
Of
course,
we
always
go
over
go
after
any
grant,
that's
out
there
available
and
we
do
have
a
couple
grants
that
we
are
going
to
be
getting
money,
for.
We
are
waiting
to
hear
about
the
state
grant
and
that
usually
comes
in
june.
So
I'm
hoping
to
hear
this
month
about
you
know
what
we
are
going
to
get
for
this
fiscal
year.
But
one
of
the
things
that
I
try
to
do
is
get
sponsorships.
L
L
I
Do
you
mind
if
I
ask
you
please
different
questions
so
on
a
page
113
under
the
arts,
it
has
just
a
couple
a
couple
little
things.
It
has
miscellaneous
repairs
under
repairs
and
maintenance.
What
are
those
miscellaneous
repairs?
Maybe
if
it
can
be,
you
know
so
we
know
what
the
1
106
is
budgeted
for
and
then
also
I
was
confused
because
I
saw
that
there
was
an
elevator
insurance.
Maybe
this
is
a
question
for
ron.
Also,
there
was
an
elevator
insurance
under
under
other
under
other
trying
to
find
it
where
it
was.
C
I
Yeah
why
the
insurance
was
under
other
contract
and
not
under
insurance.
C
A
L
And
this
is
marissa
she's,
my
department
administrator
and
she
does,
you
know,
pay
all
the
bills
for
us,
so
she
will
definitely
get
those
answers
for
you.
F
I
L
A
Tom
function
said
we
did
a
lot
of
fix-ups
of
it.
It's
looking
for.
L
The
safford
house-
yes,
yes,
it's
beautiful,
it
looks
so
fantastic.
In
fact,
we
had
an
event
there.
Just
recently
on
may
1st.
We
actually
did
like
like
a
tea
and
and
had
it
was
kind
of
like
a
garden
club
kind
of
thing.
L
We
actually
used
the
garden
club,
they
came
and
sold
plants
there
and
everything,
but
we
had
to
talk
and
we
had
an
actor
that
she
portrayed
dr
mary
jane
safford,
and
so
it
was
a
talk
for
the
people
and
it
was,
it
was
really
fun
and-
and
everyone
was
amazed
how
beautiful
it
was.
You
know,
they've
done
a
great
job.
A
A
I
So
I
apologize
so
yeah
under
under
the
operating
expenses
in
on
the
heritage
center.
On
page
120,
it
looked
like
there
was
a
big
increase
from
the
past
to
this
year.
I
L
Yes,
we
were
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
wanted
to
do
there.
We
have
a
lot
of
desks
and
office,
you
know
kind
of
areas
that
are
being
they're
kind
of
falling
apart
and
so
they're
in
disrepair,
and
they
kind
of
need
to
be
replaced.
Also
exhibits.
One
of
our
goals
is
to
do
a
brand
new
exhibit
every
year.
L
L
You
know
the
exhibits
and
we
didn't
really
have
a
budget
item
for
that.
So
we
actually,
you
know,
put
it
under
operating
expenses.
You
know
to
to
try
to
do
a
new
one
every
year,
so
we
that's
why
it's
a
little
bit
more
than
usual.
I
Yeah-
and
I
found
I
also
found
my
question
about
the
carpet
cleaning
last
year
it
looks
like
it
was
390,
and
this
year
it
increased
up
to
I
899
dollars.
I
just
is:
was
there?
Was
there
something
different
that
was
done
last
year
to
this
year
with,
in
regard
to
that,
the
carpet
cleaning.
L
It
was
re-quoted
okay,
we
have
not
done
it
by
the
way,
but
it
was
a
lot
more
than
it
normally
would
be,
and
please
go
ahead
and
if
there's
anything
you
want
to
add
the
other
thing
that
happened
too
is
that
when
the
heritage
museum
was
tented
for
the
termites,
unfortunately,
we
lost
a
lot
of
our
landscaping
and
so
we're.
L
You
know
slowly
trying
to
go
ahead
and
replace
that
too,
with
some
of
our
own
funding,
and
so
I
think
we
we
actually
put
some
money
in
there
too
to
go
ahead
and
replace
that
we
have
worked
with
the
other
departments
to
get.
You
know
some
really
good
pricing
on
on
plants
and
everything
and
they've
got
a
an
excellent
plan.
That's
going
to
be
beautiful,
we're
also
talking
to
one
of
our
patrons
who
I
believe
is
going
to
fund
an
exhibit
for
us
just
right
outside
on
the
north
side.
L
We
this
one
and
of
course
carrie
at
the
library.
You
know,
keep
me
informed
on
expenses
and
everything
and
I'm
I'll
be
honest
with
you
on
the
spend
thrift
and
they
keep
me
grounded
it's
like.
No.
We
can't
do
that.
It's
like
all
right.
Well,
if
I
sell
this
many
more
tickets
and
get
this
much
more
revenue
or
I
get
a
new
sponsor,
can
I
buy
it
and
they're
like
yes?
Then
you
can
buy
it.
L
So
I
kind
of
gauge
our
success
because
we
have
a
very
small
staff
but
we're
all
very
engaged
and
so
we're
all
with
the
patrons
all
the
time
you
know
and
at
the
shows
and
things
like
that,
so
we
practically
live
here,
but
we're
very
proud
of
what
we
do.
And
so
we
talked
to
you
know
our
visitors,
a
lot
in
fact
the
heritage
museum,
because
I
moved
the
ticket
sales
office.
L
There
has
become
kind
of
a
welcome
center,
and
so
my
employees
do
double
duty,
as
you
know,
kind
of
like
not
taking
the
place
of
the
chamber.
But
you
know
answering
a
lot
of
questions
from
visitors
and
I've
been
working
a
little
bit
more
on
trying
to
get
more
publicity
you
know
into
so
that
we
we
get
more
recognition,
you
know,
and
so
it
I
kind
of
I
kind
of
gauge
it
based
on
our
revenue,
but
also
the
feedback
that
we
get
from
people.
L
And
you
know
I'm
proud
of
when
we
can
get
to
the
point
where
you
know
we're
really
bringing
in
a
lot
of
revenue
but
we're
also
getting
the
accolades
from
and
feedback
from
our
patrons.
As
well
as
the
tarpon
residents
that
they
really
like
what
we're
doing,
and
so
we
kind
of
ask
them
that,
on
a
regular
basis,.
L
So
I'm
going
to
do
something
a
little
bit
different,
which
isn't
experimental,
but
I'm
going
to
do,
show
sponsorships
and
so
that
allows
our
patrons
for
either
to
give
up
give
me
a
thousand
dollars
or
two
thousand
dollars
and
sponsor
any
of
those
shows,
and
they
get
different
things
for
that
like,
for
instance,
if
you
do
they,
if
you
gave
me
two
thousand
dollars
for
one
of
the
shows,
you
get
10
seats
in
the
front
row
and
all
this
and
then
we
get
recognition
from
the
you
know
all
kinds
of
recognition
in
the
lobby
and
yada
yada.
L
L
A
G
Have
more
just
operations,
question
for
you
on
the
plays
that
you
all
do,
who
decides
who's
doing
the
plays
the
and
are
the
directors
volunteers
that
come
forward.
L
That's
a
great
question:
actually
we
have
a
lot
of.
There
is
a
kind
of
a
local
group
that
are
in
that's
in
the
tampa
bay
area
and
they
have
a
lot
of
local
actors
and
everything,
but
also
directors
as
well,
and
then
marissa.
She
is
arthi
our
theater
liaison
too,
so
she
works
with
them
and
we
find
the
best
and
they
have
learned
that
that
we
are
good
to
work
with
and
we're
organized,
and
so
they
come
to
us.
L
In
fact,
we
have
a
list
now
we
we
can't
use
them
all,
but
we
said
you
know
when
the
next
season,
because
we're
always
booking
a
year
ahead
right.
So
this
season
is
now
done
now
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
2223
and
also
we
we
kind
of
listen
to
our
patrons
too.
They
like
mysteries,
anything
with
sherlock
holmes
or
drama
of
any
kind.
They
they
love
that
and
they
love
comedies.
L
G
I
attended
almost
maine,
I
think
it
was
yeah.
I
noticed
a
lot
of
the
actors
were
from
outside
the
area,
so
I
was
just
curious
as
to
how
they
come
about
coming
to
tarpon
and.
L
L
L
Two,
yes,
and
so
we're
really
excited
to
finally
bring
those
back
too.
You
know
and
I'm
glad
we're
able
to
do
that
and
that's
actually
going
to
be
in
the
fall.
So
you
won't
have
to
wait
too
long.
G
L
L
Yeah
I've
been
trying
to
get
our
shakespeare
d
o'brien.
In
fact,
I've
got
hurt
we're
going
to
be
doing
shakespeare
in
the
dark
in
the
cultural
center,
okay
with
candles,
and
it's
going
to
be
awesome,
but
you
know
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
do.
More
of
is
some
outdoor.
You
know
kind
of
entertainment
like
especially
at
the
stafford
house
too,
because
you
can't
put
a
whole
lot
of
seating
there.
It
would
be
great
to
do
like
a
classical.
You
know.
L
A
L
The
beacon
is
one
source,
the
tampa
bay
times
is
has
been
our
primary
source
and
that's
where
our
budget,
you
know
our
advertising
budget
gets
really
kind
of
high,
even
though
we
have
the
most
amazing
rates
with
the
tampa
bay
times
for
the
city,
I
was
really
impressed
because
I
thought
that
the
stras
center,
when
I
was
there,
that
we
had
the
best
rates
now
city,
does
it's
really
in
fact,
I
can't
even
believe
it,
but
so
anyway,
the
problem
is,
is
that
they're,
expensive?
L
And
until
I
get
back
to
these
other
shows,
I
can't
afford
to
to
advertise
in
there
so
you're
going
to
see
us
go
back
to
the
tampa
bay
times
and
you'll
see
ruth
eckert
and
mahaffey
and
straz
and
everybody,
because
that's
what
we've
all
been
waiting
for
is
being
able
to
be
at
100,
because
we
just
can't
make
the
numbers
work.
You
know
kind
of
thing,
and
and
that's
we
get
a
lot
of
people
from
tampa
bay
times
and
the
beacon
is
a
nice.
L
You
know
complement
to
it,
but
we
do
a
lot
with
social
media
too,
and
then
that's
a
lot
more
cost-effective.
D
Hello,
everyone:
how
are
you
doing
I'll
just
start
with
a
quick
overview
of
my
budget
and
then
obviously
anytime?
Interrupt
me
if
you
have
any
questions
for
the
general
fund
budget,
the
one
that
starts
on
106,
there's
very
little
change
from
last
year,
you
can
see
most
of
the
items
have
gone
down
or
stayed
the
same.
I
would
like
to
just
mention
the
one
that
looks
like
it
went
up
quite
a
bit,
but
actually
that's
not
really
accurate.
D
The
travel
before
2020
had
been
like
around
four
thousand
three
thousand
things
like
that,
but
then,
obviously,
with
the
pandemic
and
all
of
our
conferences
getting
canceled
and
all
the
training
opportunities,
no
one
was
going
anywhere.
So
we
pretty
much
had
like
zero
travel
budget
for
the
last
year
and
this
year
now,
so
we
are
getting
back
up
a
little
bit
we're
up
to
15
25
but,
like
I
said,
that's
down
from
like
three
four
thousand.
D
So
if
you
had
a
question
about
why
that
one
went
up,
the
rest
of
them
are
like,
I
said,
pretty
standard.
One
thing
I
do
like
to
point
out:
the
library's
budget
is
a
little
different
than
some
of
the
other
divisions
and
departments,
because
we
get
the
cost
of
all
the
different
departments
that
we
deal
with
added
to
our
budget.
That's
because
the
library
gets
money
from
the
county.
D
The
pinellas
public
library,
cooperative,
gets
money
from
unincorporated
counties
so
that
people
who
live
outside
the
tarpon
springs
area
can
come
use
our
library
for
free
and
we
get
money
for
that
and
it's
based
on
how
much
money
your
city
is
well,
there's
a
minimum
amount
and
a
maximum
amount.
But
then
it's
pretty
much
based
on
how
much
money
your
city
is
spending
on
you.
So
we
do
like
to
show
that
it's
not
just
the
library
budget
we
have
because
you'll
see
in
here.
D
We
have
inter-part
manual
allocations
for
finance
and
I.t
and
hr
and
public
works
parks
and
parkways
and
all
this
stuff.
So
we
have
parts
of
their
budget
included
in
ours
so
that
when
we're
compared
with
the
county,
they
can
see
the
true
cost
of
what
it
is
to
run
the
library,
because
we
obviously
have
to
use
all
those
different
departments
to
be
able
to
do
our
business.
D
But
that
does
help
us,
because
every
year
we
do
get
money
from
the
co-op.
It
does
vary
from
year
to
year,
depending
on
we
get
measured
up
on
how
much
our
city
spends
on
us
versus
what
the
other
cities
are
spending
on
them.
I
tried
to
look
at
an
average
of
like
the
last
five
years.
I'll
say
it's
about
like
240
000
that
we
get.
D
I
mean
it
used
to
be
a
separate
fund,
but
ron
will
attest
that
a
few
years
back,
we've
just
rolled
it
in
so
now
it
just
comes
as
revenue
to
the
city.
It's
not
particularly
identified
in
a
budget,
because
it's
just
revenue
that
the
city
is
getting
and
it
helps
support
our
budget,
but
you
don't
see
it
directly
in
there
and
then
a
couple
things
too.
At
the
end
of
our
budget,
it
looks
like
we're
fully
staffed.
I
wish
we
were,
but
we
did
have
a
couple
of
changes
in
may.
D
We
had
our
part-time
custodian
for
over
20
years,
he
retired
and
we
had
another
one
of
our
library
staff
members
move
out
of
state,
so
we
currently
have
one
part-time
custodian
position,
vacant
and
a
part-time
library
assistant
position
vacant.
But
we
are
looking
to
get
those
filled.
D
In
the
budget
yeah
they're,
showing
with
people
here
but
like
I
said,
it's
just
been
in
the
past
few
weeks
that
we've
had
some
vacancies,
so
I'm
just
mentioning
it
to
you
now
and
then,
in
addition
to
our
general
fund,
account
we
have
a
library
memorial
fund.
This
is,
I
always
refer
to
it
as
our
donations
account.
This
is
primarily
supported
by
our
friends
at
the
library
they're,
our
biggest
donor,
and
we
pretty
much
do
our
budget
based
on
what
their
projected
contribution
is
going
to
be.
D
They
give
us
an
annual
contribution
and
when
I
was
doing
the
budget
in
2020
things,
weren't
going
so
great
with
their
investments.
So
we
did
a
very
conservative,
20
000.
this
year.
Things
are
going
much
better,
so
they
said
we
feel
comfortable
telling
you
can
put
40
000
in
the
budget.
So
I
jumped
right
on
that,
and
so
we
do
have
40
000
there
this
year.
That's
why
it
is
because
it's
based
on
their
investments
and
what
they
project.
D
Also
they
operate
a
used
bookstore
in
the
library
and
all
of
the
proceeds
from
that
go
directly
to
the
library.
We
get
that
at
the
end
of
the
year
to
help
support
us,
so
that
works
out
very
well
for
us
and
then
the
exciting
thing
is
it's
not
in
this
part
of
the
budget.
D
But
we
are
going
to
be
applying
for
a
construction
grant
from
the
state
of
florida
division
of
library,
information
services.
They
make
these
grants
available
to
all
the
libraries
in
all
the
public
libraries
in
florida.
You
can
apply
for
up
to
500
000
in
matching
funds
so
like.
If
we
want
to
get
the
full
500,
000
we'd
have
to
say
we
have
to
have
a
budget
of
a
million
dollar
project
and
we
have
in
the
city
at
pay
half.
D
But
I'm
glad
ron
is
here
because
he
has
the
up-to-date
numbers,
but
this
when
we
apply
for
this
and
it's
going
before
the
commission
next
week
to
get
approval
to
submit
the
application.
We
do
already
have
money
in
the
budget
that
will
support
our
matching
funds.
We
have
impact
fees
that
we
haven't
done
anything
with
for
quite
a
while,
and
so
it's
been
growing
and
growing,
and
then
we
also
have
donations
that
last
year,
when
we
shut
down
for
covid,
we
did
not
do
a
lot.
D
So
we've
had
some
money
building
up
in
there
and
we've
also
been
fortunate
to
have
several
patrons
who
have
passed
on
and
remembered
us
in
their
will.
We
had
one
gentleman
leave
us
over
fifty
thousand
dollars,
and
so
we
have
some
money
in
our
donations
and
our
impact
funds.
That
would
help
us
provide
matching
funds
if
we
were
able
to
get
this
from
the
state.
D
D
So
it's
it's
by
no
means
guaranteed,
but
obviously,
if
there's
a
grant
opportunity,
we
want
to
apply
for
it
and
try
and
get
it,
and
so
we
are
going
to
try
and
do
that
because
some
background
for
the
library
in
case
you're
not
aware,
we've
been
at
our
current
location,
lemon
street
for
almost
25
years,
we're
looking
forward
next
year,
we're
going
to
celebrate
our
25th
anniversary
at
that
building,
and
we
really
haven't
done
that
much
in
the
past
25
years
I
mean
we've
done
some
minor
enhancements
and
maintenance,
and
things
like
that.
D
But
over
the
past
25
years,
as
you
might
imagine,
the
way
people
have
used
library
has
changed
a
lot.
The
the
print
books
aren't
circulating
like
they
used
to
a
lot
more
demand
for
digital
items
and
technology
and
maker
spaces.
Interactive
areas.
People
have
said
repeatedly,
they'd
like
to
have
more
study
rooms
and
meeting
rooms.
D
So
this
is
what
we
hope
to
get
the
grant
to
be
able
to
do,
but
it
if
it
works
out,
it'll
be
really
nice,
because
that
will
be
our
25th
anniversary
and
then
we're
also
seeing
if
we
might
also
get
some
additional
donations
in
support
of
that.
D
But
that
is
kind
of
what
we're
working
on
now
and
we
do
have
a
survey
out
which,
if
you
haven't
seen
it,
I
encourage
you
to
go
to
connect,
harper
and
springs
and
take
it,
because
we
want
to
get
as
much
input
as
we
can
from
the
public.
We've
gotten
like,
I
think,
like
around
250
responses
so
far,
but
we
really
want
to
get
as
many
as
possible.
You
want
to
really
find
out.
What
does
the
community
want?.
D
On
connect,
tarpon
springs
the
city
online
engagement
tool,
or
we
also
have
the
old-fashioned
version
for
people
who
don't
do
digital.
D
We
have
a
paper
copy
in
the
library,
so,
as
people
come
in,
we
say
please
take
a
paper
copy,
fill
it
out,
and
actually
I
can
tell
you
our
responses,
we're
getting
way
more
paper
copies
than
we
are
digital,
because
a
lot
of
our
patrons
you
know
prefer
that,
but
we're
trying
to
get
as
much
input
as
we
can,
because
we
want
to
see
going
forward
how
best
we
can
serve
the
community
and
if
we
get
a
grant
and
if
not,
if
we're
whatever
we'll
able
to
do
to
remodel
the
library,
enhance
the
library
we
want
to
do
that
with
as
much
community
input
as
possible
to
to
see
what
we
can
do,
because
we
have
noticed
we
we
closed
down
for
a
couple
months
for
kovid
when
we
opened
up
june
1st
of
last
year.
D
We
have
noticed
our
traffic
is
quite
down
and
now
that
we're
getting
a
little
bit
more
back
to
normal
we're
starting
to
see
more
of
it,
come
back
and
we're
really
excited
to
june
14th.
The
monday
after
school
gets
out
we're
kicking
off
our
summer
reading
program,
we're
starting
our
evening
hours
so
now
we'll
be
open
until
8
pm
monday,
tuesday,
wednesday.
We're
hoping
that's
going
to
help
to
bring
some
people
back
and
we're
going
to
do
some
we're
pretty
much
going
to
do
a
mostly
virtual
summer.
D
Most
of
the
libraries
in
the
county
are
still
doing
a
lot
of
online
programs.
When,
with
the
pandemic,
we
had
to
switch
to
everything
our
story
times,
virtual
our
lessons
virtual
all
these
things,
but
we
are
going
to
have
some
in-person
programs
over
the
summers,
some
for
adults
and
teens.
We
have
escape
rooms
at
the
library
and
then
we're
looking
at
doing
some
things
for
the
younger
kids
at
craig
park
and
outdoor
story
time,
and
things
like
that.
D
D
D
A
My
goodness,
okay,
we're
that
point
there,
assuming
there's
no
public
comments,
because
there's
no
public
here,
but
anybody
comments,
staff
comments.
C
C
Feeling
good,
I'm
feeling
better.
If
we
have
you
know
the
property
tax
values
increasing
and
a
couple
positive
things
with
the
health
insurance
if
it
hopefully
comes
in
at
no
increase.
That's
it's
a
big
help
for
the
general
fund.
C
C
I
sent
out
a
financial
update
the
other
day
the
other
day
and
everything.
The
only
thing
is
still,
as
probably
diane
was
saying.
You
know.
Negative
revenues
has
basically
still
been.
You
know:
recreation
fees.
C
You
know,
but
still
the
only
ones
that
gas
tax
revenues
are
still
down,
obviously,
maybe
not
as
many
people
traveling
as
but
I
did
see,
and
then
I
saw
some
good
news
last
receipts
on
the
penny
tax.
We,
it
was
the
highest
the
penny
gas
tax
from
the
local
option,
sales
tax.
If
we
call
it
a
penny
right,
we
received
that
receipt
just
last
friday
and
it
was
one
of
the
highest
ones.
I've
seen.
D
C
A
A
C
F
G
A
C
A
To
ten
percent
from
that,
but
it
will
you
you'll
get
your
minute
in
the
sun
so
with
that
said
any
other
comments
or
are
we
concluded
so
we're
concluded
3
34
in
the
afternoon
tournament.
Thank
you.
Do
I
get
to
tap
this
kind
of
I
get
this.
