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
And
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
the
meeting
for
Thursday
March
16
2023
at
6,
00,
PM
I,
know
that
we'll
probably
have
another
person
walking
in
a
few
minutes.
But
we
have
two
absences
that
have
requested
to
be
excused.
So
Dory
Larson
could
not
be
here
tonight
and
could
I
get
a
motion
to
excuse
her
absence.
I.
C
D
D
A
And
for
Jennifer
Bracey,
who
is
not
able
to
be
with
us
yet,
can
we
have
a
motion
to
excuse
our
absence.
D
A
E
B
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Have
we
all
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
minutes
from
last
month?
Yes,
and
do
you
see
any
need
to
amend
any
part
of
the
minutes
or
no,
we
can
accept
them.
Okay
motion
to
accept
the
minutes.
Second,
all
in
favor
aye
aye
moving
right
along.
A
E
A
F
F
So
again,
hello-
and
thank
you
we're
going
to
talk
about
this
new,
exciting
chapter
in
Tarpon,
springs's,
urban
forestry,
May
22nd,
the
Department
of
Agriculture
and
consumer
services
through
the
Florida
Forest
Service
gave
or
awarded
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
a
grant.
As
you
can
see,
it
has
over
a
three-year
period,
I'm
going
to
talk
more
in
depth
about
each
one
of
those
years
and
what
each
one
of
those
projects
and
tasks
have
to
do
up
front.
I'm.
A
big
believer
in
saying
thank
you.
So
thank
you.
F
Just
walk
you
through
our
quick
little
outline
I,
do
want
to
talk
about
some
accolades
that
we've
got
and
how
this
program
got
momentum
and
how
the
like
a
business.
You
know
we
need.
We
can't
manage
what
we
don't
know
the
unknown.
So
that's
where
the
need
really
came
from
and
I'll
definitely
explain
that
more
to
you
tonight.
F
Those
accolades
I
talked
about
since
2007,
it's
Tarpon
Springs
has
been
a
tree
City
USA
participant
it's
a
voluntary
program
of
municipalities,
which
means
that,
in
order
to
get
this,
the
city
has
to
spend
more
than
two
dollars
for
every
resident
in
the
city
annually
to
collect
that
Tarpon
Springs.
Usually
at
this
time
with
my
calculations,
is
about
six
to
seven
dollars.
We
did
spend
a
little
bit
more
after
Hurricane
Irma,
but
that
was
for
the
cleanup
and
those
kind
of
things
growth
award.
F
It
is
a
extra
above
and
beyond
award
within
the
framework
of
Tree
City
USA
in
2019
and
2021.
The
city
was
able
to
go
above
and
beyond
and
meet
the
criteria.
For
that,
and
with
this
inventory
we
are
on
track
to
get
a
third
growth
award.
So
I'm
excited
project,
Learning
Tree,
it's
special,
very,
very
special.
To
me.
It
teaches
teachers
how
to
treat
tree
science
in
all
aspects
of
Education,
not
just
in
the
science
realm,
but
also
in
writing
and
understanding
and
the
social
activities.
F
As
a
facilitator.
We
partnered
with
SPC
and
the
University
of
Florida
ifas
program
out
at
Booker
Creek
and
to
date,
189
new
teachers
have
received
these
State
accredited
activity
manuals.
Basically
their
whole
activity
is
put
together.
They
can
rip
out
the
pages
hand
them
to
their
supervisors
and
say
Here's
my
activity.
It
there's
also
State
funding
that
goes
into
project
Learning
Tree.
So
it's
a
great
program
and
in
2019
the
project
Learning
Tree
Florida,
grouped
named
the
city
Tarpon
Springs
as
partner
of
the
year,
so
very
excited
about
that.
F
Oh
God
I've
used
the
word,
Urban
Forest
a
lot.
So
really.
What
is
an
urban
Forest?
It's
a
collection
of
trees,
naturally
occurring
and
planted
either
publicly
or
privately
owned
within
the
city,
and
just
in
that
one
photo
there.
You
can
see
all
the
different
parts
of
our
Urban
Forest
we've
got.
Parks
we've
got
Street
line
boulevards
with
trees.
We've
got
neighborhoods
with
trees
in
the
front
and
backyard
and,
of
course,
for
Tarpon
the
water.
So
we've
got
the
coastal
wetlands.
We've
got
the
mangroves,
so
that
is
Tarpon
Springs
Urban
Forest.
F
F
So,
as
we
move
on
you'll
see
some
more
so
but
Tarpon
Springs
is
complex.
I
already
talked
about
some
of
the
areas.
Also,
we've
got
over
mature
trees,
aligning
the
roads,
we've
got
miles
and
Acres
of
mangroves
and
we've
got
newly
planted
trees
in
the
bottom
and
those
little
trees
are
going
to
need
20
years
of
pruning
in
order
to
get
them
ready
and
resistant
to
the
wind.
So
we've
got
a
lot
of
intricus
intricacies
working
together
and
it's
one
dynamic
system.
It's
they're
individual,
but
they're,
working
as
a
whole
benefits.
F
F
F
The
big
thing
was
canopy
growing
below
the
vertical
clearance
we
had
to
cut
our
way
in
to
a
lot
of
the
areas.
There
was
a
lot
of
time
making
more
debris
before
we
could
pick
up
debris.
F
Another
one
was
not
talking
to
each
other
in
the
different
departments,
doing
road
work
on
on
sidewalks
and
new
sidewalks,
where
you
can
see
half
of
it
was
cut
off
prior
now
we
have
a
rapport
with
each
other
and
I
almost
go
to
every
single
sidewalk
repair
and
do
an
assessment
prior
to
it.
Going
back
down
in
the
ground.
F
F
How
do
we
make
an
assessment
and
the
first
one
that
I
did
was
the
I
tree
canopy
assessment
I
tree
is
a
program
that
was
developed
where
you
can
take
a
shape
file
of
the
city
and
you
randomly
throw
some
points
down
and
you
can
see
if
it's
a
tree
or
no
tree.
What
I
got
out
of
that
was
that
the
canopy
coverage.
That
means
like
the
little
leaf
over
the
ground,
where
we
were
at
32
percent
for
tree
coverage,
can.
F
F
So
some
of
them
are
what
was
the
condition
of
those
trees?
That's
just
a
little
random
point:
where
are
the
high
risk
extreme
trees
located
how
many
trees
a
year
impacted
with
the
critical
root
Zone
with
work?
How
many
driveway
permits
are
pulled
a
year?
How
many
sidewalks
did
the
city?
Actually,
repair,
how
many
sidewalks
does
residents
actually
repair
that
we
don't
know
of
on
these
private
streets?
How
can
that
data
be
integrated
into
the
system?
That
was
another
one,
but
ultimately,
how
do
we
pay
for
it
grants?
F
So
at
the
staff
level,
as
I
said,
we
had
some
internal
discussions
and,
with
the
help
of
Miss
Pat,
we
felt
comfortable
and
decided
that
GPS
mapping
at
with
interns
putting
this
information
into
our
Arc
system
was
a
project
we
were
willing
to
get
behind.
So
in
2021
we
put
an
application
together
with
the
for
the
urban
forestry
community
funding
source
there.
It
is
up.
C
F
Always
screw
it
up
and
then
2022
we
were
awarded
and
then
so
now
2023.
We
can
actually
start
doing
this
project
again.
Thank
you,
full
disclaimer.
You
can
read
it.
Thank
you
for
the
Florida
Forest
Service.
F
So
the
first
year
of
the
inventory
we
broke
up
into
four
separate
tasks
to
hopefully
manage
them
better.
The
first
one
is
community
engagement,
that
is
the
connect,
Tarpon
Springs
urban
forestry
program.
Page
that's
up
and
running
so
make
sure
you
go
check
that
out
on
there
there
is
a
Social
Survey,
it's
about
10
minutes
to
complete,
and
hopefully
from
that
we'll
be
able
to
get
workshops.
Some
feedback
updates
project
progress
notes
are
all
on
connect,
Tarpon,
Springs,
so
make
sure
you
check
it
out
and
task.
Two
of
project
setup
is
currently
underway.
F
The
QA
qcs
are
already
done.
We've
already
got
equipment
purchased
we're
doing
really
well
in
that
area.
Right
now,
the
applications
for
interns
is
public
is
out.
So
if
you
know
of
anybody,
that's
college
that
needs
a
little
summer.
Job
come
on
and
see
me,
but
then
the
big
one
task
three
actually
mapping.
So
you
asked
about
that
point
and
what
that
image
looked
like.
That's
the
very
bottom
left
there
on
the
screen.
That
was
the
random
point
that
I
put
down
that
one
actually
measured
onto
a
tree.
F
F
A
diameter
a
breast
tight
as
we
call
it
to
get
the
age
that
will
also
lead
to
if
we
do
have
to
remove
it,
where
it
falls
down
in
the
category
of
the
the
price
on
that,
but
that
the
age
of
it
comes
with
that.
How
mature
is
that
tree?
Where
is
it
in
its
life
cycle
that
helps
gets
determined?
So
if
you
have
a
32
inch,
Laurel
Oak,
you
know
it's
going
to
be
more
at
the
end
of
its
life
cycle
than
at
the
beginning
of
its
life
cycle.
F
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
with
that.
These
are
some
other
attributes
that
are
on
there.
The
gis
device
is
the
one
that's
in
the
bottom.
Most
of
them
are
drop
down
menus
to
make
it
easier.
So,
yes,
no
trying
to
speed
up
that
category
time,
the
interns
are
only
going
to
have
320
hours
each,
and
so
hopefully
we
can
get
to
that
3000
point
with
the
four
people.
F
Our
GIS
team,
phenomenal
I'm,
going
to
praise
them
again
constantly
through
this.
They
have
really
really
worked
hard
and
I
am
thoroughly
impressed
with
what
they've
been
able
to
come
up
with.
F
F
So
again
the
gis
department
created
this
once
the
data
is
collected
and
we
can
input
it
into
the
system.
The
community
can
see
where
their
Urban
Forest
is.
They
can
see
and
be
engaged
with
it.
Engagement
leads
to
trust.
Trust
leads
to
transparent.
You
know
all
of
that,
so
this
is
another
wonderful
thing
that
they've
done
and
when
it
gets
integrated,
trying
to
recognize
and
catalog
the
high-risk
trees,
increasing
new
canopy
coverage.
F
That's
the
goal
like
again,
we
can't
manage
what
we
don't
know,
and
this
is
another
way
we
can
manage
what
we
do
know.
Hopefully
everything
goes
smoothly.
We
can
get
a
phone
call
say
this
tree
is
low
at
blah,
blah
blah
any
Main
Street
Street
I
can
go
on
the
computer
find
out
where
that
is
get
that
asset
ID
number
create
a
work
order.
F
They
will
know
exactly
where
that
tree
is,
and
hopefully
lead
to
better
efficiency
being
in
the
parks
department
for
many
years
before,
what
I
do
now
getting
those
phone
calls
and
trying
to
go
figure
out,
it's
the
right
one.
We
spent
a
lot
of
time
not
being
efficient,
so
that
was
one
takeaway
piece
that
I
really
wanted
to
add
to
this
program.
F
Also,
it
leads
to
better
record
keeping,
so
I
can
track
exactly
what
the
expenditures
are.
How
much
are
we
using
for
the
urban
Forest?
How
much
equipment
are
we
using?
Do
we
need
again
leading
down
to
that
record?
Keeping
of
how
many
hours
of
that
has
that
bucket
truck
been
out
there?
Is
it
time
to
get
it
serviced
more?
Do
we
need
a
bigger
bucket
truck?
All
of
that
record-keeping
in
nabaline
will
make
it,
hopefully
a
more
efficient
use
of
our
our
government
dollars.
A
F
A
F
You,
and,
and
even
in
the
Communications
cable
I,
get
calls
all
the
time,
the
trees
and
the
wires
it's
in
the
power
lines
and
do
do
anything
it's
because
it's
Communications,
it's
Spectrum,
wow
knowledgey,
all
of
those
different
groups.
That's
not,
and
they
don't
come
out
and
trim.
So
they
only.
They
are
reactive,
not
proactive.
F
So
you
too,
here
we
are
creating
of
a
master
plan.
I
want
to
read
you
a
quote
from
a
local
Urban
Forester.
He
urban
forestry
is
an
ongoing
conversation
between
biophysical
world
and
social
values
carried
out
in
the
language
of
ecological
processes.
It's
hard
conversation
to
start
necessary
to
have,
but
rewarding
in
the
conservation,
From,
A,
Land,
Management
aspect.
F
F
F
Foreign
is
going
to
be
replanting
of
the
mapped
area.
I
promise
everyone
I'm
going
to
get
to
the
rest
of
the
town,
I
have
to
find
additional
funding,
it's
going
to
mean
more
grants
and
all
the
rest
of
it.
So
this
is
the
area
that
we've
decided
to
do
right
now,
it's
a
defined
boundary
of
historic
CRA
and
the
Greek
historic,
then,
hopefully,
with
the
fifteen
thousand
dollars
and
the
fifteen
thousand
that
the
city
has
to
put
together
if
prices
can
come
down
on
trees
and
everything.
D
F
F
So
how
does
it
help
with
Tarpon
Springs
being
sustainable?
We
have
all
these
plans
currently
I
need.
We
need
to
gather
all
of
the
consensus
and
their
values
and
those
goals
that
they've
already
been
identified,
use
what
I'm
collecting
with
the
Social
Survey
and
hopefully
do
some
focus
groups
and
put
those
together
to
be
able
to
create
a
tree
oriented
master
plan
and
so
all
in
2019,
when
the
community.
This
was
started
that
star
rating
that
you
guys
first
used.
F
The
very
first
in
natural
resources,
was
a
tree
inventory,
so
that's
kind
of
where
I
also
started
as
backup
for
this
grant
and
using
you
guys
as
our
community
board,
but
I.
Those
are
some
of
the
the
12
that
I
noticed
in
the
current
strategic
plan
that
you
guys
have
put
together,
okay
and
yeah.
This
would
be
a
good
place
to
do
it.
So
you
know
with
those
values
that
you
have.
How
do
you
know
that
you're
not
having
a
canopy
loss?
F
If
you
don't
do
an
assessment,
we
gotta,
we
have
to
know
what
we
can
manage
heat
line.
I
lend
mitigation
again
back
to
the
replanting.
If
there's
an
empty
space,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
heat,
so
planting
a
tree
is
going
to
effectively
help
other
areas
of
your
plan,
just
not
with
the
natural
resources
and
the
walkability,
so,
hopefully
it'll
tie
in
the
wildlife
one.
You
got
to
know
exactly
how
many
connected.
What
do
you
have
something
particular
in
that
area?
F
F
So
what
do
I
need
from
you
support,
100
support
here
and
out
in
the
community,
promote
the
participation
on
the
Social
Survey.
Whenever
you
have
a
chance,
a
social
scientist
that
I
know
states
that
if
you
can
have
a
thousand
surveys,
you're
doing
great
you've
got
a
really
good.
So
right
now
we
currently
have
100.
So
please
promote
Gathering
input,
values
on
the
urban
forestry.
Three
workshops
I'm
formally
requesting
a
workshop
of
all
of
you,
maybe
around
June.
First,
you
know
end
of
there
when
we
get
the
Social
Survey
side
done.
F
F
And
incorporation
into
all
the
other
for
strategic
plans
and
implementation,
and
just
collaboration
for
long-term
herbs
for
forestry
planning
and
management
I
think
to
me,
I
highlighted
that
one,
because
that's
really
the
main
goal
of
what
I'm
trying
to
do.
We
really
all
need
to
have
this
conversation,
and
it
is
a
conversation.
F
Connect
Tarpon,
Springs
I
said
it
a
couple
times.
Here's
what
the
web
page
looks
like
my
role
is
to
build
a
respectful,
supportive
atmosphere
during
this
entire
multi-year
process.
That
is
my
really
honestly.
My
number
one
goal
teach
the
community
a
new
way
of
thinking
of
skills
as
we
go
through
this
process
and
build
their
capacity
for
collaboration,
making
sure
we
follow
the
processes.
You
can
follow.
All
the
progress
on
connect,
Tarpon
Springs
posts,
the
24
hours
a
day,
even
just
little
incremental
steps,
I
hope
to
put
up
there.
F
So
you
can
see
my
favorite
quote.
Is
transparency
builds
trust,
trust
builds
engagement
and
that's
going
to
be
my
my
main
focus
again.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
the
boc,
thank
you
to
the
sustainability
committee.
Thank
you
to
all
of
the
administration
here
and
the
University
extension
office
that
I
use
them
constantly
the
other
colleagues
at
UF
and
Gainesville
that
I
just
went
up
to
and
had
a
multi-day
seminar
on
this
with
the
leadership
in
Tarpon
Springs
I
we're
spot
on.
This
is
the
right
time
at
the
right
place
for
this
we're
here.
F
A
Yes,
Shannon:
this
is
extremely
inspiring
to
all
of
us,
I'm
sure
I
hope.
So
what
kept
coming
up
in
my
mind
and
and
I,
don't
know
whether
you're
aware
of
the
term,
but
it's
permaculture
yeah,
because
that
really
you
know
it
really
Echoes
it.
You
know
and
I
looked
up
some
of
the
the
quick
definitions
because
I've
been
watching
One
video
after
the
next
I've
been
a
real
fan
of
Bill,
mullison
and
David
Holmgren
for
years,
because
I
just
thought
what
they're
talking
about
is
just
so
incredibly
sensible
and
it
is
sustainability.
A
It's
the
heart
of
sustainability,
because
it's
the
harmony
between
all
of
the
different
factors
you
know
of
Nature
and
the
economy
and
humans.
You
know-
and
it
all
has
to
be
in
Balance,
but
this
one
says
the
design,
installation
and
maintenance
of
indefinitely
sustainable
human
communities
set
and
balanced
ecologies.
Both
urban
and
rural.
E
F
B
F
Come
out
of
the
three
mitigation
Bank
when
we
went
down
this
path,
so
every
time
a
tree
permit
comes
in
and
they
don't
have
the
capacity
to
replant
inch
per
inch.
As
the
ordinance
says
it
goes
into
the
tree
bank
and
that
dollar
figure
is
based
upon
that
diameter
of
breast
height.
F
F
F
And
eventually
the
tricky
thing
with
mangroves
they're,
predominantly
on
private
property.
True,
and
how
do
we
access
and
that's
going
to
be
another
discussion
that
I
want
to
have,
while
during
the
master
plan
since
right
now,
it's
where
I
have
been
mapped
areas,
there's
a
lot
of
streets
that
the
city
is
managing?
F
How
in
the
next
rounds,
do
we
do
HOAs
and
private
land
I
didn't
want
to
bring
any
of
that
up?
But
since
you
already
brought
it
up,
that's
going
to
be
a
forethought
question:
we're
going
to
need
buy-in
what
about
the
mangrove
Islands,
those
are
Pinellas
County
owned.
If
you
click
on
a
lot
of
those,
oh
Pinellas
County
actually
owns
those
in
the
in
the
river
and.
B
The
waterways,
so
you
know,
I,
live
on
Kramer
Bayou
and,
as
you
go
out
to
the
end
quote,
there's
all
these
Mangrove
Islands.
So
the
county
owns
those
click.
B
B
Pinellas
County
because
they're
wonderful,
when
you
met
with
our
group
like
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
you
mentioned
this
idea
about
having
trees
down
on
the
docks
and
somehow
you've
about
how
they
could
be
put
in,
and
there
could
be
an
underground
silver.
F
Cells
in
rooting,
space
yeah-
that
is
definitely
one
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
talk
about
with
installing
all
of
these
new
trees
trees
for
to
be
able
to
get
big,
they
have
to
have
a
root
system
as
big
underground.
So
where
are
we
going
to
get
that
funding
from?
Are
we
going
to
incorporate
those,
since
we
don't
have
policies
now
in
place
within
our
Ordnance
system?
To
do
that?
Again,
that's
one
of
the
things
I'm
I'm,
hoping
to
have
this
conversation
to
pull
out
of.
E
B
F
F
A
D
Madam,
chair
may,
have
you
recognized
to
speak?
Of
course.
Thank
you.
Shannon.
Your
passion
is
what's
driving
this
and
the
things
that
you're
talking
about
are
so
you
have
the
physical
thing
about
the
trees
that
could
be
seen
like
by
a
farmer
or
an
engineer,
or
something
like
that.
Although
Farmers
have
a
lot
of
Soul
and
Spirit
too,
as
we
know,
but
what
you're
doing
is
melding
those
two
things:
the
Practical
aspects,
with
the
truly
under
understanding
what
those
trees
can,
how
those
trees
contribute
in
ways
that
are
difficult
to
quantify.
E
D
I
mean
it's
obvious
hearing
you
speak
that
you,
you
not
only
grasp
this,
but
that's
kind
of
your
the
path
that
you're
you're,
leading
with
the
highest
goals
and
the
highest
ideals
and
the
path
is
very
that
path
can
be
linear.
Then,
because
you
have
this,
this
vision
of
how
you
know
what
the
ultimate
goal
is
but
I'm
thinking
that
this
this
path
of
tree
inventory
and
whatever
comes
after
that
to
it's
going
to
be
ongoing.
D
So
it
seems
that,
with
the
progress
that
you're
making
with
the
support
of
the
sustainability
committee,
you'll
be
able
to
prove
to
whoever
is
in
office
about
the
worthiness
of
it.
The
support
that
you've
seen
from
this
and
it
will
increment
incrementally
grow.
It's
not
going
to
be
like
you.
You
know
you
have
to
wonder
where
the
next
dollar
is
coming
from
for
your
next
project,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
natural
next
step.
F
And
you're
bringing
up
a
good
point
that
recycle
and
the
feedback.
My
goal
is
to
put
a
five-year
10-year
and
20-year
work
plan
into
it
and
then
bring
back
in
those
feedback
loops.
That
is
the
heart
and
soul
of
my
my
idea.
Have
those
feedback
loops
get
to
a
certain
point?
Have
another
feedback
loop
have
another
cycle:
the
inventory
we're
going
to
have
to
redo
exactly
what
I
do,
but
somebody's
going
to
have
from
a
staff
side
or
as
the
values
of
you
come
out
as
a
committee?
F
E
D
Yeah
absolutely
and
figure
out
when
it
comes
down
to
like
redeveloping,
brownfields
and
gray
Fields
about
how
someone
wants
to
replenish
such
an
area
with
trees
in
a
way
that's
meaningful
of
how
you
can
really
incentivize
things
like
that.
I
mean
you
know
down
the
road
when
we
get
to
that,
but
I
applaud
your
efforts
and
just
I'm
so
happy
that
this
is.
This
is
we're
in
process
of
this.
This
is
great.
Thank
you.
B
Could
could
we
get
Robin
or
whatever,
like
a
flyer,
a
JPEG
or
something
because
then
we
can
put
it
on
Instagram?
We
can
put
her
on
Facebook,
okay,
so
that
would
be
a
way
for
us
to
get
people
to
do
the
survey.
This.
F
F
B
F
Yes,
please
so
far,
I've
been
to
touch
a
truck.
I
went
to
first
Friday,
then
I
am
planning
on
going
to
the
Easter
egg.
Extravaganza
that's
coming
up.
F
E
F
F
A
That's
right
so
we're
at
item
number
four
follow-up:
it's
a
debrief
on
the
annual
update
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
I.
Don't
know
that
30
minutes
are
required
of
this,
but
Robin
Sanger
watched
it
it's
hard
for
me
to
be
objective
about
what
happened
you're
in
the
middle
of
it
yeah
I
was
in
the
thick
of
it
with
a
lot
of
different
thoughts
simultaneously,
but
I
felt
that
my
my
main
goal
was
to
get
positive
response
and
it
came
which
was
really
rewarding.
A
You
know,
because
we've
seen
the
presentation
we
simply
went,
I
simply
went
through
it.
I
did
a
little
bit
of
of
an
explanation
of
the
definition
of
sustainability
adaptation,
resiliency
and
the
the
main
idea
was
for
anyone
that
was
listening.
I
mean
I
assumed
that
the
Board
of
Commissioners
knew
these.
These
terminologies,
but
I
wanted
anyone
that
was
engaged.
You
know
via
the
web,
or
you
know
it
was
there
that
might
not
have
known
about
sustainability
to
become
aware
of
it.
A
Although
prior
to
starting
I,
can't
remember
his
name
Peter
he
at
at
the
end
of
the
not
even
the
public
comments
the
end
of
the
proclamations.
He
kind
of
led
into
that.
You
know
in
support
of
you,
know
the
sustainability
committee
and
continuing
to
support.
He
just
made
a
comment
about
it.
So.
E
A
Was
that
was
good,
LED
right
into
what
what
we
were
doing
and
I
just
went
through
everything
that
we've
accomplished
in
the
last
year,
and
it
was
very
positive.
The
response
you
know
from
the
mayor
to
all
of.
A
They
were
just
very
supportive.
They
were
commit.
They
commended
us
on
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
I
think
that
what
we,
what
I
hope
is
that
we
get
more
feedback
from
them
on
how
we
can
actively
and
continually
contribute
like
with
with
Shannon
Burr
coming
tonight.
It
gives
me
a
real
sense
that
you
know
we
have
a
lot
that
we
can
continue
to
give
feedback
on.
A
I
think
that
things
are
moving
ahead,
climate
wise
and
are
just
I'm
we're
we're
within
our
own
lifetimes
we're
seeing
things
change
so
much
that
five
years
for
another
inventory.
She
was
talking
about
the
the
different
Loops
of
five
year
tenure,
but
it
just
seems
like
if
there,
if
there
is
funding
for
doing
these
things
more
frequently,
we
we
could
do
them.
You
know
as
frequent
as
possible
because
of
the
way
that
climate
is
impacting
our
world
and
I've
done.
E
A
A
That
was
one
of
the
points
that,
as
I
you
know,
I
went
through
the
presentation
several
times
prior
to
going
to
present
the
Board
of
Commissioners,
but
it
really
while
I
was
reading
it
with
them.
I
really
noticed
that
that's
what
we're
supposed
to
do
is
explore
the
topics
of
sustainability
and
I
think
it's
extremely
healthy
and
it
it
helps
us
if,
as
we're
doing
our
research
at
home
or
and
we're
communicating
about
it-
and
it
doesn't,
you
know
it
can
be
in
the
flow
of
the
meeting.
A
It
really
helps
us
embrace
what
we're
doing
our
role,
the
impact
that
we
can
have
on
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
and
beyond
that
you
know.
The
the
little
phrase
that
came
to
me
prior
to
the
meeting
was
Inspire
the
desire.
You
know
I
just
kept
feeling
like
that's
what
we
need
the
city
to
be
doing
for
the
residents
they're,
taking
a
leadership
role.
A
We
have
a
lot
of
residents,
let's
that
I
think
are
ahead
of
the
Curve,
but
then
there's
quite
a
few
that
are
behind
the
curb
and
still
aren't
thinking
in
a
holistic,
Urban
Forest
permaculture
structure.
You
know
of
the
integration
of
nature
with
us
as
humans
as
being
absolutely
necessary
balance.
We
have
to
have
the
balance,
but
the
more
that
we
can
Inspire
the
city
doing
what
we're
doing
and
communicating
what
we're
doing.
A
A
All
you
can
do
is
is
hope
to
change
awareness
and
pull
people
into
the
stream
of
life
that
we're
participating
in
and
that's
what
it
is.
It's
really
a
stream
of
life.
You
know,
because
if
we
don't
have
that
you
know
you
know
really
Humanity
can
be
very
short-lived.
We're
in
the
midst
of
a
mass
extinction.
A
I
didn't
mention
that
I
didn't
think
that
that
would
be
edifying,
but
you
know
that's
why
a
lot
of
scientists
say
so
I've
said
what
my
feelings
were:
I
would
I'm,
maybe
talking
about
it
on
a
little
bit
more
esoteric
level
than
just
what
happened
at
the
meeting.
But
I
read
energy
too,
and
that's
what
I
felt
from
the
meeting
and
Karen
was
there
so
Karen?
Do
you
have
any.
G
Yeah
I
actually
do
have
a
couple
comments.
You
did
a
great
job
presenting
and
Robin.
You
know
just
the
whole
coordination
of
that
like
was
great
and
it
was
I
think
it
was
all
Denise.
Well,
you
did
a
lot
of
prep
work
for
it
too.
So
you
know
I,
think
I,
think
just
the
collaboration
and
then
your
presentation
it
had
the
desired
effect
of.
There
was
not
a
single
commissioner
up
there,
who
didn't
give
positive
reinforcement
or
some
sort
of
positive
feedback,
which
was
was
great
it.
G
It
validates
our
existence
as
a
committee,
so
I
I
did
appreciate
that
the
interest
what
I
found
interesting
during
that
was
commissioner
Luntz
comment
that
he
as
the
liaison
to
the
to
the
Tampa
Bay
Tampa
Bay,
Regional,
resiliency,
Coalition,
Coalition.
Okay,
that's
a
real
mouthful,
really
wanted
to
meet
with
either
Robin
or
us,
or
what
have
you
I
can't
remember
like
right
off
the
top
of
my
head
and
I
was
like
wow
that
hasn't
happened
yet,
just
in
the
back
of
my
head,
I
was
like
that
that
should
happen.
G
E
C
G
Okay,
so,
but
I
heard
that
correctly
that
it
didn't,
it
hasn't
happened,
but
as
somebody
who's
represented,
you
know
our
representative,
our
liaison
I,
think
it's
pretty
important
yeah
that
I
agree.
We
have
conversation
and
then
my
other
thought
on
the
whole
thing
like
I
said
it
was,
it
was
great.
It
was
exactly
what
needed
to
happen.
It
was
concise
it
it
gave.
You
gave
some
definition
some
background.
You
know
what
have
you
and
I
think
they
appreciated
the
justification
of
having
hired.
Oh
that's.
G
What
I
wanted
to
know
about
I
do
think
that
that
was
evident,
that
not
just
in
the
way
you
presented
it,
but
the
actual
response
kind
of
was
you
know,
okay,
who
did
a
good
thing
right,
we're
relieved.
G
This
is
this
needed
to
happen.
We
did
it
good
for
us
we're
forward
thinking
you
know
and
moving
forward.
My
only
other
comment,
I
think
on
this
is
I,
think
we
we
present
to
them
once
a
year
right
and
we'll
present
the
Strategic
or
our
sustainability
plan,
and
what
have
you
and
moving
forward
I
would
I
really
appreciated
when
we
were
first
getting
started
when
commissioner
Donovan
came
to
us
with
his
suggestions
and
I
think
it
would
be
really
interesting
to
hear
it
at
the
end.
G
G
You
know
feedback
or
objectives,
because
I
really
thought
when
you
know
when
commissioner
Donovan
came
in
again,
this
was
when
we
first
got
started
and
we
we
kind
of
were
all
over
the
place.
G
Still
right,
like
we
hadn't
narrowed
down
a
lot
of
what
was
going
on
I
feel
like
he
had
some
great
suggestions
of
of
what
he
he
wanted
to
do
and
he
he
moved
forward
on
a
lot
of
them
on
his
own,
but
as
well,
but
so
I
think
I
think
just
really
figuring
out
how
to
not
just
from
your
report
asking
for
their
input.
And
what
do
you
want
to
see
us
doing
or
what
do
you
want
to
see
happening?
But
there
needs
to
be
some
follow-up
with
that.
G
E
G
So
that's
kind
of
my
like,
like
we
asked
them,
you
asked
them
on
behalf
of
us.
You
know
for
direction
or
for
input.
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
make
sure
we
hold
ourselves
accountable
for
getting
that
from
them
and
I.
Don't
I,
don't
know
how
I'm
really
good
at
like
like
identifying
something
but
not
the
not
coming
up
with
them.
A
C
E
A
Communication,
even
if
it's
the
just
random
Inspirations
that
they
have
or
thoughts
or
questions
if
I
mean
maybe
they'll,
funnel
that
through
you
perhaps,
but
there
ought
to
be
some
sort
of
format
for
that
to
happen.
I
don't
know
what
the
the
sunshine
laws
would
be,
but
I
totally
agree.
It's
really.
It
feels
really
like
your.
You
know,
singing
into
the
wind.
D
Don't
have
a
thought,
so
you
know
sometimes
it's
like,
if
you
think
of
sitting
on
the
commission
and
the
different
meetings
that
they
have
to
go
to
I
mean
they
have
pretty
full
plates
of
what
to
do,
and
so,
rather
than
us
asking
them
for
here
stretch
a
little
bit
further
and
see
if
you
can
help
us
with
this,
you
know
what
your
thoughts
are.
They
might
not
have
thoughts
yet
because
it's
not
their
if
it's
not
their.
D
You
know,
Mr
Lunt
might
not
know
what
questions
to
ask
or,
if
he's
still
trying
to
find
his
way-
and
you
know
with
his
new
role,
but
if
we
can
keep
them
apprised
as
we
go
along
of
our
steps
and
just
say:
here's
what
we're
working
on
do
you
have
any
feedback
about
this
and
make
it
I
think
the
easier
we
make
it
for
them
to
respond
rather
than
have
to
go
and
research
everything
and
learn
everything,
that's
kind
of
what
we're
here
for
if
we
could
suggest
to
them.
Here's
what
we're
going.
D
D
When
all
the
mayor
and
Commissioners
take
the
urban
forestry
survey.
That
would
be
a
perfectly
appropriate
time
and
say
we
ask
that
the
committee
asks
that
you
take
the
survey
and
respond
to
that.
Your
thoughts
about
that,
or
did
you
notice
anything
about
that
survey
or
you
know
some
I
mean
just
ways
where
we
kind
of
meet
them
halfway
to
begin
with,
so
it
makes
it
easier
for
them
to
respond,
but.
D
They
would
tell
the
committee
is
what
I
was
thinking
or
they
would
tell
Robin
and
she
would
share
with
the
committee
or
they
can
email
it
to
her
and
she
can
share
it
with
us
or
they
can
attend
a
meeting
and
tell
us
themselves
or
any
number
of
ways.
You
know
I
mean
I,
don't
I
think
we're
open
to
Communications,
but
I'm.
Just
thinking
asking
them,
if
you
know
asking
them
to
take
the
10
mile
trip
might
be
more
of
a
difficult
than
for
us
to
say.
D
B
D
Served
on
the
Tampa
Bay
Regional
planning,
Council
environmental
part
when
I
was
when
I
was
serving,
and
one
thing
that
we
could
do
is
we
could
join
them
at
that
meeting
and
see
what
types
of
issues
they're
working
on
we
could
you
know
he
could
take
us
someone
as
a
guest
to
see
what
types
of
things
they're
working
on,
but
they
work
on
when
we
did
it,
it
was
sustainability
lens
of
different
development
projects
that
were
going
on
or
if
there
was
an
algae,
bloom
or
looking
at
seagrass
health
or
all
those
types
of
just
kind
of
the
same
things
that
we're
looking
at.
A
Would
start
with
their
website?
You
know
just
it's
t
b,
r,
p
c
dot,
org
and
just
look
at
their
programs
and
the
resources
and
their
committees
and.
D
G
I
think
it's
just
important
that
we
as
members
we
have
this-
the
commissioner
Lunt
as
a
liaison,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
liaise
not.
G
I'm
sure
the
information
that
he's
taking
in
is
being
used
in
some
way
shape
or
form,
but
if
it's
part
of
for
the,
like
the
am
I
correct
that
as
part
of
that,
we're
required
to
have
a
sustainability
committee,
part
of
what,
as
part
of
being
part
of
the
Coalition.
No
no
okay,
sorry
well,.
A
That
was
that
was
part
of
it.
Yeah
I
thought,
because
when
we
signed
on
there
was
there
was
a
very
small
blurb
that
said
that
we
should
establish
a
citizen's
feedback.
You
know
a
Citizens
Advisory
Board,
and
that
was
what
we
we
signed
on
is.
G
C
C
So
every
member
City
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Regional
planning
Council,
has
designates
that
they
send
to
participate
on
behalf
of
the
city,
so
Mayors
or
Commissioners.
Typically,
so
every.
G
Member
so
then,
let's
just
take
a
step
back
if
he's
willing
to
Coalition
be
engaged,
which
is
what
I
took
away
from
his
comment
at
the
meeting,
then
I
think
we
jump
on
that
and
figure
out
how
to
liaise,
how
to
actually
communicate
amongst
each
other.
Instead
of
just
doing
an
annual
route.
D
G
A
B
C
I,
don't
know
I
might
something
in
my
throat.
Yes,
of
course,
of
course,
I'm
happy
about
that
I
agree.
I,
think
the
feedback
was
very
positive
all
around
by.
E
D
A
B
So
I
want
to
make
one
comment
about
that.
One
of
the
things
about
sustainability
is
to
sustain
ourselves
and
to
sustain
the
group
and
to
sustain
Rob
and
and
your
people
is
to
show
support
to
each
other.
That's
a
big
part
of
sustainability.
You
know
we're
showing
supports
to
the
trees.
So
that's,
like
you
know,
it's
a
really
huge
part
of
sustainability
and
I.
B
Think
sometimes
we
forget
how
important
we
all
are
and
I
just
don't
mean
the
people
in
this
room,
but
everybody
who
we
interact
with
and
to
sustain
our
momentum
sustain
our
relationship
sustain.
All
of
that.
We
need
to
show
support.
A
I
think
that
one
of
the
most
underrated
principles
of
sustainability
or
permaculture
is
that
everything
is
connected,
there's
nothing
that
isn't
influenced
by
the
energy
or
the
connections
I.
You
know
that
word
might
be
a
little
woo-woo
to
some
people,
but
there's
actually
fields
of
energy
around
everything.
A
D
Yeah,
do
a
little
sidebar
or,
but
maybe
I
should
wait
till
the
end.
Oh
go
ahead
so
several
years
ago,
after
the
paradise
or
the
campfire
Paradise
California
burned
to
the
ground,
and
they
contacted
me
about
from
peace
for
Tarpon
saying
how
can
we
help
our
people?
They
were
shell-shocked.
There
was
a
lot
of
PTSD
a
lot
of
loss,
a
lot
of
grief
and
this
huge
thousands
and
thousands.
D
Ten
thousand
people
moved
to
Chico
California
like
within
a
week
because
their
town
was
gone
but
and
I
was
like
well
I,
don't
know
you
know,
but
I
mean
we
had
good
conversation.
But
how
do?
How
do
you
respond
to
that?
What
do
we
do,
but
one
of
the
things
that
they've
come
up
with
now?
That
is
really
helping.
D
People
is
a
thing
called
Forest
bathing
and
it's
about
going
into
nature
in
the
places
where
your
resident
they
go
into
nature,
where
their
town
was,
and
it's
very,
very
healing
and
it's
I
think
it
came
out
of
Japan
the
term
Forest
bathing,
but
that
they've
found
that
practice
the
most
helpful
of
all
the
things
rather
than
therapy,
or
rather
than
this,
and
that
is
just
going
into
nature.
In.
A
A
Is
profound
makes
total
sense,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
the
most
therapeutic
thing
that
we
can
do
when
we're
feeling
just
chaotic
is
to
just
go
out
and
put
our
feet
in
the
grass
put
our
feet
on
the
ground
and
just
feel
you
know
that
we're
connected
and
everything
is,
okay,
all
is
well.
The
Earth
is
going
to
be
fine,
but
we
want
it
to
be
survivable
for
us
and
for
all
of
the
creatures,
because
I
think
if
we
were
gone,
the
Earth
would
recover.
A
If
things
weren't
received,
you
know,
as
well
as
they
were,
was
just
to
reflect
on
our
own
lifetimes
and
how
different
the
planet
is
now
from.
You
know
when
I
was
born
70
years
ago.
I,
look
at
the
way
that
the
world
was
and
all
the
things
in
the
natural
environment
that
I
enjoyed
with
just
relish
and
the
connections
that
were
established
within
me
as
a
result
of
Mother
Nature,
and
that
needs
to
be
available
for
all
children
in
the
future.
A
And
right
now-
and
there
was
a
a
moment
where
I
was
having
a
conversation
with
one
of
the
people
at
poll-
my
son-in-law's
birthday
party
recently-
and
we
were
talking
about
the
sustainability
committee
and-
and
he
shared
with
me-
that
his
son
had
made
the
comment
that
the
only
way
that
the
Earth
was
going
to
be.
Okay
was
if
humans
were
gone
and
I
thought
that's
a
terrible
view.
But
I've
been
hearing
that
from
a
lot
of
young
people,
and
that's
so
sad
that
they're
feeling
that
you
know
so.
B
B
A
So
Robin
are
you
going
to
give
us?
The
second
part
of
the
follow-up
is
status,
update
on
The,
Whitcomb,
bio.
C
Yes,
I
don't
have
too
much
for
you
tonight,
I
reached
out
to
Bob
who
came
previously
to
speak
to
the
Committees.
The
project
administration
department,
director
project
manager,
on
that
project,
so
Bob
gave
a
presentation
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
on
September
27th
of
2022
as
part
of
a
larger
projects,
update
presentation-
and
there
was
only
some
discussion
of
the
item
at
that
time,
where
basically,
they
are
currently
preparing
a
Grant
application
to
move
forward
with
that
project
and
that
Grant
will
be
the
hazard
mitigation
grant
program
or
hmgp
through
FEMA.
E
B
So
there
was
a
article
in
the
newspaper
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Times
about
a
way
of
working
with
protecting
the
shoreline
where
they're,
using
coconut,
husks
and
they're,
making
these
logs
out
of
them
and
suppose
I
use
it
a
lot
around
the
world
and
it's
sustainable
and
and
they
it
rolls
up-
and
you
put
I
was
thinking
that'd
be
great.
I
might
want
to
do
that
and
then
they
can
actually
put
thing
like
seeds
and
small
plants
in
them,
and
then
they
grow
up
and
they
tether
it,
and
so
that
I
was
thinking.
B
B
Yeah
I
I
saved
it
because
I'm
going
to
post
it
on
my
cool
Pinellas
website,
but
there's
all
these
Innovative
way
and
I
think
I
can't
remember.
Was
it
Japan
where
it
started
the
Philippines?
But
it's
supposedly
used
pretty
widespread
most.
B
A
And
has
anybody
asked
anything
about
the
possibility
of
a
levy
instead
of.
A
I'm
just
feeling
you
know,
as
I,
expressed
to
Robin
that
and
Paul
Smith,
that
when
you
barricade
water
in
one
place,
it's
going
to
come
out
somewhere
else.
That's
just
the
way
Water
Works.
A
A
Walls
see
walls,
the
sea
walls
that
might
trap
water
on
the
other
side
anyway,
I
still
had
concerns
about
it.
That
I
don't
feel
like
I
thoroughly
voiced
at
the
time
that
we
were
talking
about
it,
but
I
just
kept
thinking.
There's
got
to
be
a
better
way
to
keep
water
out
of
both
bayous
without
changing
it
them
a
lot.
B
A
Okay,
we're
on
point
number
five
discussion
on
the
Earth
Day
short
video
ideas:
have
you
looked
into
any
possibilities
for
a
video
that
could
run
continually
but.
C
I
was
picturing
like
a
short
10
minute
or
shorter
video.
That
kind
of
gives
either
background
on
Earth
Day
or
is
in
the
spirit
of
Earth
day.
So
I
wanted
to
see.
If
the
committee
had
anything
in
mind
anything
that
they
know
since
I
know,
you
all
have
some
really
cool
suggestions
for
different
sorts
of
websites
and
different
resources.
C
Jennifer
Bracey
did
send
me
a
video
suggestion.
It
was
pretty
neat.
It
was
a
short
video
of
a
drone
flying
over
the
Anclote
River
into
downtown
Tarpon
Springs,
so
that
was
kind
of
a
neat.
Video
and
I
can
send
that
out
to
the
committee
and
Denise
also
sent
a
video
as
well,
which
was
interesting.
That
I
can
also
send
out
to
the
committee.
C
When
you
first
go
into
the
library-
and
we
could
just
have
some
chairs
set
up
in
there
and
then
just
a
video
kind
of
playing
on
repeat
that
people
can
go
in
and
learn
a
little
bit
about
Earth,
Day
or
kind
of
see
something
interesting,
I,
don't
know
if
it'll
be
a
hot
day
or
not.
Maybe
they'll
want
to
get
out
of
the
heat
for
a
few
minutes
and
check
it
out.
So
that
was
the
idea.
C
B
E
C
Yes-
and
this
is
very
family
friendly
event-
we're
going
to
have
face
painter
and
crafts
and
games,
and
giveaways
and
big
inflatable
slide
DJ
and
free
food
and
lots
of
booths
of
different
city
departments.
Lots
of
Community
Partners
piece
for
Tarpon,
potentially
Dory,
says
keep
Pinellas
beautiful,
Garden
Club
of
Tarpon
Springs,
the
grow
group
I'm
missing
someone.
C
Yes,
it's
April,
April
22nd,
so
it'll
be
on
actual
Earth
day,
yay
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
all
saw
from
the
boc
meeting,
but
the
mayor
did
Issue
a
proclamation
for
Earth
Day,
also
on
Tuesday,
which
was
pretty
neat,
so
we
declared
it
as
like
Earth
month
and
I
talked
about
the
event
at
the
boc
meeting.
So
hopefully
that
will
get
some
more
people
to
come
out
and
what
time
is
it?
It
will
be
from
10
a.m,
to
1pm.
D
I
think
that
for
the
kids
thing
I
mean
for
the
library,
Earth
Day
videos,
something
that
children
will
enjoy
if
the
kids
want
to
just
get
in
or
get
out
or
just
something
that
could
be
entertaining
for
the
parents,
but
just
something
that
could
I
think
what
Carol
said
was
great
to
really
capture
the
attention
of
the
kids
rather
than
heavy
informational,
stuff.
I.
E
D
A
I
think
you
could
probably
have
multiple
ones
if
you're
just
looking
at
you
know,
birthday,
origins
or
anything.
That's
related
to
that.
The
video
that
I
sent
you
now
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
in
lieu
of
you
know
doing
you
know,
presentation
on
Earth
Day
it
was.
It
was
just
a.
It
was
a
video
about
re-uh
claiming
land
that
was
kind
of
a
quarry.
You
know
and
I,
don't
know
whether
you've
ever
heard
of
Bouchard
Gardens.
A
This
wasn't
about
Butchart
Gardens,
but
it
was
like
taking
a
desolate
area
of
Australia
that
had
been
really
torn
up
and
they
built
these
biodomes
that
are
fantastic,
where
they
were
actually
put
a
rainforest
demonstration
in
a
Mediterranean
demonstration
and
it's
a
fun
video
to
watch.
So
even
if
it's
not
relevant
to
the
Earth
Day
celebration
that
we're
having,
maybe
Robin
can
send
it
around
just
so
you
can
take
a
look
at
it
because
it's
beautiful,
that's
great,
very
inspirational,
because
the
things
do
come
back
really
quickly.
D
C
Yeah
I'm
sure
cute,
we
just
one
other,
oh
I'm,
saying
I'm,
saying
cute:
yes,.
D
C
We
have,
but
that
would
be
great,
we'll
definitely
try,
but
I
think
they
also
want
someone.
You
know
we
want
someone
to
be
able
to
answer
questions
and
engage
with
people
in
there.
So
yeah
we'll
be
figuring
that
out,
which
leads
me
to
if
anyone
would
like
to
attend
our
Earth
Day
event,
maybe
volunteer
at
our
Earth
Day
event.
C
A
Okay
and
now
we
have
a
little
review
of
the
sustainability
plan
timeline.
C
So
I
had
Alex
helped
me
update
the
timeline
again
put
him
on
the
spot
and
give
you
all.
That's
fine.
The
update
tonight.
H
G
H
Yeah
I
mean
I
mean
not
much
has
changed
since
last
I
presented
to
you
guys,
except
instead
of
50.
We
know
estimates
we're
on
at
60
with
the
first
draft,
and
you
you
see
from
the
the
two
red
lines
we
set
up
a
long
way
to
go
for
our
estimated
timeline
for
this,
so
I
think
we're
in
pretty
good
shape
so
far,.
C
C
C
C
C
Head
so
it
will
be,
you
know
a
decent
length.
It
has
all
of
the
sections
that
we
had
shown
in
our
outline
a
couple
months
ago,
so
I
would
recommend
that
take
precedence
at
our
next
meeting,
given
that
our
next
meeting
is
in
April,
I
can
also
give
an
update
on
Earth
Day,
because
Earth
day
will
be
I
believe
the
following
week.
No.
B
C
C
Okay,
good-
and
we
also
had
in
our
Communications
plan
of
action
that
we
will
discuss
content
for
the
newsletter
two
months
prior
to
publishing
it.
So
that
would
be
April
to
publish
in
that's.
B
B
B
C
A
Think
that
since
Earth
Day
will
not
have
happened
yet
we
can
just
drop
that
and
just
focus
on
the
plan.
Yeah.
C
Oh
yes,
and
then
we
can,
if
there's
time
toward
the
end
of
the
meeting,
we
can
maybe
do
an
update
on
those
other
items,
the
Earth
Day
plan
and
for
the
newsletter
we
could
potentially
delay
that
to
May.
C
Our
knowledge
and
nibbles
presentation
are
one
at
the
beginning
of
this
month
was
Devin
Frankie
from
keep
Pinellas
beautiful.
He
did
a
really
great
job.
We
had
a
smaller
group
about
13
people,
but
they
were
very
engaged.
Group
Karen
was
in
attendance,
so
thanks
for
coming
out,
Karen
I've
been
thinking
about
his
presentation.
Ever
since
Larry,
some
of
you
did
it.
The
information
was
like
it
sticks
with
you
hearing
about
the
statistics,
but
it
was
very
engaging.
He
had
a
lot
of
Dynamic
interactive
elements.
C
I
went
very
well,
and
our
next
one
will
be
also
the
first
Thursday
of
the
month
coming
up
and
it
will
be
from
Swift,
Mud
and
they'll
be
talking
about
giving
an
overview
of
what
they
do
and
then
water
conservation
tips.
So
that
should
be
a
good
one.
C
C
C
E
C
We'll
probably
have
a
mix,
definitely
our
city
staff
I'll
be
able
to
in
advance
kind
of
give
them
more
specific
idea
of
what
they'll
be
doing,
but
for
volunteers
it
might
be
a
little
bit
tougher
to
do
that.
B
B
C
Be
great
to
have
you
there
any
of
you,
even
just
you
know,
just
to
say
hi
would
be
great
too
and
I.
Don't
remember
if
I
mentioned
this
last
time.
So
forgive
me
if
I
did,
but
we
received
a
supplemental
Grant
through
resilient
Florida
to
expand
the
scope
of
our
vulnerability
assessment
did
I
mention
that
is
that
again,
I
think
so.
Okay,
so
we
received
a
supplemental
Grant
through
the
resilient
Florida
program
of
the
fdep.
E
C
D
C
It's
a
state
Grant,
it's
a
statement
through
the
fdep
so
that
that
definitely
allows
us
to
expand
our
scope.
We're
going
to
be
able
to
have
a
more
robust
analysis
with
more
flood
scenarios
and
projections
and
we'll
also
be
able
to
do
more
public,
Outreach
and.
C
That's
the
firm,
oh
they're,
doing
the
analysis
for
us
and
they'll
be
writing
the
plan
for
us
and
then
we,
as
City
staff,
are
working
with
them.
It
requires
a
lot
of
collaboration.
They
have
to
meet
with
City
staff,
to
understand
our
facilities
and
understand
our
flood
risks.
History
of
you
know
flood
occurrences
and
learning
about
you
know
the
cultural,
historical
assets
of
the
city.
So
there's
a
lot
of
collaboration
involved.
C
Company
from
they
are
I,
believe
it's
international
company,
so
they
have
offices
all
over
the
place
and
they
have
one
based
out
of
Tampa
as
well.
So
that's
interesting.
We
are
actually
working
on
planning
our
first
public
Outreach
meeting
for
this
and
I
will
send
information
when
I
have
it
in
case.
You
all
would
like
to.
B
C
We
allowed
to
go
so
there
is
always
the
Sunshine
Law
concerns,
but
you
know,
as
as
individuals,
and
you
know,
residents
you'd
be
able
to
participate
as
long
as
you
don't
discuss
with
other
committee
members
business
that
would
ultimately
come
before
the.
C
A
A
A
A
H
D
I
have
one
comment
that
this
kind
of
tangentially
related
to
this
but
I
was
invited
to
join
this
National
steering
committee
of
it's
called
the
itrc,
which
is
international
transformation,
resilience
Coalition
and
they
work
on
policy
federal
policy.
So
it's
pretty
interesting
so
right
now
we're
working
on
flyers
for
rural
areas
about
Farmers
their
suicide
rights
are
spiking
because
of
climate
change
and
other
things
that
they're
going
through.
So
we're
working
on
a
flyer
for
them
and
a
flyer
for
the
you
know
another
group,
but
there's
a
bill.
That's
going
to
be
coming
in.
D
So
the
the
flyer
is
basically
to
promote
this
bill
that
we're
working
on
getting
sponsorship
forth
in
the
House
and
Senate,
and
it's
called
the
community
mental
wellness
and
resiliency
act.
That's
going
to
be
on
the
table
so
when
that
act
goes
through
we're
just
encouraging
people
to
contact
their
senators
and
representatives
to
support
this
bill.
It's
very
significant!
It's
it's
a
good
bill,
so
I'll
keep
you
all
apprised
of
that.
That's
Federal!
Yes,.
D
So
it's
working
with
with
lobbying
groups
in
DC,
it's
a
different
kind
of
thing,
but
it's
kind
of
like
you
know
this.
We're
very
Grassroots,
and
that's
very
you
know
it's
just
kind
of
interesting
to
see
the
difference
right,
but
the
group
is
just
brilliant
people
from
everywhere.
It's
just
great
to
hear
everyone's
input
and
and
knowledge
and
so
forth
and
and
represent.
Actually
I
was
invited
because
of
Peace
for
Tarpon,
because
it's
a
network
that
they've
noticed
so
cool.
That's.
D
G
Of
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment.
The
knowledge
of
nibbles
was
actually.
It
was
great,
so
I
appreciate
that
I
brought
my
husband
with
me
and
I
was
I
I'm.
This
is
not
a
conversation
for
tonight.
G
It's
just
a
comment,
and
maybe
we
can
all
leave
and
brainstorm,
because
I
would
love
to
see
how
we
can
engage
more
of
the
community
in
these
things,
because
it's
very
similar
to
I'm
sure
all
of
the
other
things
that
you
go
to
the
people
who
are
there
are
not
necessarily
the
people
who
need
to
be
hearing
what.
Of
course,
we
all
need
to
be
hearing
that,
but
most
of
the
at
the
very
end
of
it
he
said.
G
I'm
not
saying
I
did
not
learn
something.
Please
don't
don't
take
that
part
from
it,
so
my
question
is
as
we
leave,
how
do
we
engage
more
of
our
community
and
and
encourage
them
to
go
I
mean
food
is
usually
the
trick
and
I
mean
you're
telling
them
it's
not
knowledge
and
nibbles,
and
you
know
we
couldn't
even
get
people
there
for
food.
G
So
so
that's
just
a
kind
of
a
challenge,
I
guess
is,
is
how
do
we
do
that
and
again
it's
not
a
conversation
at
all
for
tonight.
It's
just
my
comment
and
my
observation.
I
noticed
the
exact
same
thing.
I
had
when
Robin
shared
that,
if
you
get
to
see
path
of
the
panther,
do
it
100
totally
worth
it,
but
it
was
the
same
thing.
The
people
who
are
asking
the
questions
were
not
asking
questions
as
much
as
they
were
sharing
their
knowledge,
which
is
super
important,
super
wonderful.
G
B
A
A
Carol
yeah
I,
just
like
I,
said
I've
just
been
doing
kind
of
a
deep
dive
into
trying
to
wrap
my
mind
around
the
harmful
algae
blooms
and
understand.
I
know
that
part
of
the
environment
is
because
the
temperatures
are
changing,
but
you
know
whatever
humans
are
doing,
that
contributes
to
it.
Phosphates,
for
instance,
into
the
water.
A
You
know
I
mean
that's,
that's
the
stuff
that
what
do
we
do
as
a
city
because
it's
affecting
our
economies,
it's
affecting
tourism
I
mean
at
every
level
it's
affecting
the
wildlife
that
that
breaks
my
heart
when
I
see
images
of
fish
on
the
beach
and-
and
you
know
it's
just
it's
just
hideous
so
I'm-
just
trying
to
understand
it
and
I've
been
reading
things
from
the
floridabar.org
on
land
use.
Trying.
E
A
If
we
can
help
that,
you
know
and
we
can
arrest
what's
going
on,
it'll
be
better
for
everybody.
Just
my
thoughts.
