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
Yeah,
it's
six
o'clock,
July
20th
2023-
and
this
is
the
beginning
of
the
sustainability
committee
meeting
and
I
hope
that
we
have
enough
people
to
make
it
possible.
A
A
We
may
note
in
the
in
the
minutes
that
we
have
not
heard
from
either
of
them
regarding
excused
absences,
so
we'll
just
proceed
at
this
point.
Has
everyone
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
minutes
from
last
month?
Yes,
any
amendments
or
changes
and
can
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes.
I.
D
A
All
in
favor
aye
aye,
okay,
and
they
don't
believe
we
have
anyone
here
from
the
public
and
we're
not
zooming
in
any
way
so
that
we
don't
have
any
interface
with
the
public
at
this
point,
so
we
can
log
that
we
have
no
no
comments
at
this
time,
but
I
certainly
welcome
them.
Anybody
from
the
public
that
wants
to
come
we're.
We
put
the
public
comments
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
so
that
anyone
that
is
listening
to
this,
you
don't
have
to
stay
through
the
entirety
of
our
meetings.
A
E
I'm
Bob
Robertson
I'm
the
project
administration
department
director,
it's
nice
to
see
you
all
be
back
again,
so
we're
going
to
give
you
an
update
on
The,
Whitcomb,
Bayou,
Coastal
resiliency
project
with
me
this
evening
is
our
new
Grant
project,
specialist,
PJ,
Harbert
I,
don't
know
if
you
had
a
chance
to
meet
her
yet
but
she's
here.
So
she
does
a
lot
of
hard
work.
She's
only
been
here
a
few
months
and
she's
really
doing
a
great
job.
E
Looking
at
and
finding
us
grants
and
writing
grants
and,
most
importantly
to
me
helping
me
manage
them
because
that's
always
the
hard
part
with
grants.
We
also
have
the
arcadist
team
here.
Melissa
Hugh
is
going
to
do
most
of
the
presentation
with
Paul
wolanski
they're,
going
to
give
you
the
update
on
the
design
where
it's
kind
of
evolved
to
and
how
we're
looking
to
fund
it
as
we
go
forward
so
Melissa
take
it.
F
We're
really
looking
forward
to
updating
you
all
on
the
the
project
we've
come.
We've
made
quite
a
bit
of
progress
and
let
me
see
if
I
can
advance
okay.
F
H
Melissa
good
evening
committee
members,
so
we've
been
working
with
Bob
and
the
city
on
this
project
for
a
while
now
and
in
the
in
the
past,
we
have
held
a
public
meeting
to
get
feedback
from
from
the
from
the
public,
and
these
these
were
some
of
the
renderings
that
we
had
and
suggestions
that
we
had
to
come
up
with
the
three.
The
the
different
Alternatives
were
to
design
a
earth
berm
that
goes
around
the
Bayou
to
block
the
flood
waters.
H
Another
alternative
was
the
in
the
top
left
corner,
which
is
the
a
t
wall,
which
is
a
pretty
much
concrete
wall
that
would
have
Gates
that
go.
H
The
public
could
go
through
the
to
get
to
the
docks
to
pass
through
and
then
also
another
option
was
raising
the
road
around
the
Bayou
and
that
would
also
a
black
and
fly
Warriors
from
coming
to
the
homes
and
each
of
them
had
pros
and
cons
and
the
public
preferred
the
the
Earth
berm
alternative,
because
they
thought
it
looked
most
aesthetically
pleasing
which
it
does
which
we
haven't
the
bottom
left
corner,
and
we
see
some
of
the
Landscaping
that
we
that
could
be
possibly
to
propose
to-
and
it's
also
only
at
a
level
of
a
10-year
flight
elevation.
H
H
Right
so
so
we
so
our
team
did
some
flood
flooding
analysis,
and
so
the
figure
on
the
left
you
can
see
all
the
areas
in
blue
are
the
areas
that
that
would
experience
flooding
during
a
10-year
flood
event
and
so
the
on
the
figure
to
the
right.
H
If
you
see
the
area,
that's
that's
marking
red
around
the
Bayou,
that's
the
area
that
we
propose
to
install
the
either
the
t-wall
or
the
or
the
Earth
berm
to
prevent
flooding
and
that
and
then
the
areas
areas
that
you
don't
see
on
the
right
in
that
they're
no
longer
in
blue
all
the
areas
that
would
be
protected
by
the
flood
protection
by
this
project.
H
And
so
you
might
ask
well
what
about
the
areas
of
the
north
west
corner
of
the
Bayou
and
the
reason
why
the
reason
we
selected
that
particular
area
I
think
it's
polos
Lane
by
the
church
there
to
stop
the
flood
protection.
Is
that
the
the
city,
the
city,
I?
Guess
the
county
right
away
only
extends
around
the
Bayou,
only
a
little
bit
further
north
of
that
area,
and
then
there's
Residential,
Properties
and
the
city
wouldn't
be
able
to
just
install
a
t-wall
or
berm
behind
someone's
homes
up
at
that
area.
H
So
that's
that's.
We
felt
that
that
was
the
most
beneficial
area
to
stop
the
flood
protection
and
because
further
north
you'd
be
impacting
Residential
Properties.
H
And
so
this
is
a
little
closer
close-up
of
the.
So
we
propose
installing,
like
forty
four
thousand
three
hundred
and
twenty
feet
of
Earth
berm
535
feet
of
Earth
burn
tea
wall,
and
what
that
is
is
that
so
the
Earth
burn
is
in
all
the
areas
where
it's
green
and
but
some
areas
around
the
Bayou
there's
limited
right
away
and
that
the-
and
if
you
have
an
earth
berm
at
like,
say
a
three
to
one
slope-
the
it
might
not
be
in
the
footprint
for
to
install
the
Earth
berm.
H
So
the
t-wall
takes
up
less
room,
and
so
the
T1
will
be
installed
in
those
areas,
but
there's
limited
right
away,
and
but
we
could
still
install
some
of
the
earth
berm
on
the
on
the
road
side
of
the
wall,
and
that
would
give
the
appearance
of
a
continuous
berm
around
the
Bayou
for
residents.
So
they
would
see
the
one,
the
one
continuous
sperm
and
then
by
the
by
the
church
on
polos
Lane.
Then
we
might
well.
H
H
And
then
we
wanted
to
make
sure
the
sustainability
knows
that
we
are
keeping
environmental
aspects
and
like
living
Shoreline
features
as
a
priority
on
the
project
and
on
the
on
the
Bayou
side.
We
would
definitely
be
either
reimplanting
or
not
trying
not
to
affect
the
mangroves
that
are
living
there
right
now
or
looking
at
plant,
putting
in
oyster
beds
or
other
what
other
Marine
plants
that
could
help
stabilize
the
soils
there
so
that
this
project
would
definitely
have
a
living
Shoreline
aspect
to
it
as
well.
H
So
we're
proposing
a
stop
log
structure,
which
is
basically
panels
that
will
go
in
front
of
the
bridge
to
keep
Storm
Warriors
from
flooding
into
the
canal
system.
And
so
these
are
stop
log
systems
that
a
navigation
lock.
So
I
want
to
show
you
what
that
would.
What
that
would
look
like,
and
so
it
would
be
panels
that
we
drop
down
from
heavy
equipment
on
the
bridge
and
in
an
event
to
a
storm,
and
then
so,
and
so
those
panels
would
have
to
be
stored
somewhere
nearby
or
in
the
storage
location
by
the
city.
H
H
So
some
of
the
project
costs
we've
listed,
the
costs
for
the
Earth
berm,
the
sea
wall,
the
road
raising
which
are
all
different
components
of
the
solution
and
then
the
stop
logs
that
the
bridge
actually
is
one
of
the
largest
costs
at
six
million
dollars.
That
structure
and
then
and
aqua
fence
would
be
at
the
boat
ramp
at
Craig
Park.
So
that
would
prevent
The
Waters
from
coming
up
the
boat
ramp
into
the
into
the
Park
area
and
then
design
investigation
costs.
F
So
we
did
do
a
benefit
cost
analysis,
just
to
make
sure
that
it
was
cost
beneficial
and
so
the
way
you
do
that
is
you
take
your
costs
and
you
divide
that
by
your
your
benefits,
developing
your
costs,
and
so
we
listed
here
all
of
the
avoided
damages.
So
those
could
also
be
considered
your
benefits
and
we
did
get
a
BCA
of
1.9.
F
We
used
a
FEMA
methodology
and
using
this
methodology,
and
typically
when
you're
looking
at
BCAAs,
anything
above
one
is
considered
cost
beneficial,
so
this
project
still
comes
out
as
cost
beneficial
factoring
in
all
of
our
costs.
Our
damages
and
those
avoided
damages,
considers
residential
structures,
but
also
non-residential.
Most
of
the
area
is
residential,
so
you're
going
to
see
most
of
your
benefits
in
the
residential
categories.
F
Okay,
we
also
did
a
social
vulnerability
analysis,
and
so
we
use
the
CDC
svi.
Some
of
the
factors
that
we
included
would
be
poverty
and
income
levels,
education,
level,
household
composition,
meaning
you
know
what
is
the
age
and
of
the
of
the
members
in
the
household
minority
status,
language
also
things
like
housing,
type
and
transportation
were
all
factored
in
into
this
analysis.
F
If
you
look
at
the
index
is
a
little
bit
hard
to
see,
but
it's
in
that
gray
box
a
higher
number
indicates
higher
Social
vulnerability.
So
the
blue
is
the
most
social,
vulnerable,
socially
vulnerable
area,
and
you
can
see
there.
Those
green
kind
of
boxes
are
the
structures
within
the
project
footprint.
So
it's.
F
The
social
vulnerability
is
not
too
high
there
and
we
knew
that
going
into
this,
but
in
the
kind
of
South
I
guess
with
the
southeast
area,
there
is
some
higher
vulnerability
there
as
well.
The
other
thing
to
note
that
is
that
you
know
I,
think
probably
95
of
the
structures
in
the
project
benefit
area
are
residential,
like
I
mentioned
before
so
you're,
not
going
to
see
a
whole
ton
of
social
impacts
to
that
area,
and
the
kind
of
shading
illustrates
that.
So
we
can
talk
more
about
that.
F
If,
if
you
all
are
interested,
but
that's
kind
of
a
snapshot
of
the
svi
analysis
and
then
going
into
Project
funding
and
how
we,
you
know
some
opportunities,
we
might
look
at
to
try
and
fund
this
project,
as
Paul
mentioned
it's
kind
of
just
under
11
million.
So
this
is
an
ongoing
kind
of
process.
F
There
will
always
be
new
rounds
of
funding
that
come
up
and
so
we're
keeping
our
eye
on
those,
but
some
of
the
ones
that
we're
considering
this
is
a
newer
one.
The
NOAA
climate
resilience
Regional
challenge
we're
already
putting
in
a
project
for
that
with
the
city
or
the
city's
already
putting
out
a
project
for
that
challenge.
So
we
will
be
looking
at
Future
rounds
or
should
I
misspoke.
F
The
resilient
Florida
program
is
the
one
that
we're
already
putting
in
a
project
for
with
the
city,
so
we
will
be
looking
at
Future
rounds
of
funding
there,
not
necessarily
this
year
the
NOAA
climate
resilience
Regional
Channel,
that's
a
newer
one.
I
know
that
PJ
put
in
a
letter
of
intent
there
and
so
that's
an
opportunity,
and
then
we
would
also
be
looking
at
potentially
in
the
future
cdbg.
So
this
is
something
like.
C
C
F
Exactly
yeah,
so
a
lot
of
these
a
lot
of
these
funds
are
federal
and
they
get
passed
through
to
State
the
resilient
Florida
program.
Is
that
way
so
there's
a
lot
of
kind
of
Hoops
that
you
have
to
jump
through
both
federally
and
local,
and
so
we
make
sure
that
the
project
meets
both
of
those
Federal
as
well
as
state
or
local
criteria
and
I.
Think
that
is
it
right
yeah.
So
we
jump
right
into
questions.
F
E
To
add
one
quick
thing,
this
same
presentation
we're
going
to
give
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
next
Tuesday
night,
so
we're
going
to
get
feedback
from
them
and
obviously
we'll
take
whatever
feedback.
You
give
us
and
we'll
incorporate
that
into
the
presentation,
or
you
know
if
you
pass
it
on
to
the
board.
Obviously,
we'll
they'll
have
that
as
well,
and
one
clarification
I
wanted
to
make
on
the
stop
logs
that
Paul
presented
earlier.
E
It's
a
little
confusing
on
on
some
of
the
photos,
because
it
shows
multiple
things
and
I
know
Paul
kind
of
hinted
at
it.
But
the
way
those
work
is
that
those
are
something
that
would
be
only
applied
during
a
oncoming
storm.
It's
not
something
that
would
be
there
all
the
time,
so
they
would
be
removed
and
stored,
and
we
have
something
we
set
up.
A
protocol
like
a
72-hour
notice
on
an
oncoming
storm
and
our
crews
will
be
able
to
go
out
and
install
those.
I
F
And,
oh,
it
depends.
We've
seen
projects
under
one
which
indicates
really
not
being
benefit
not
being
cost
beneficial
at
all.
We've
seen
two
up
to
three
I.
Don't
know
that
I've
seen
really
past
three
three
yeah.
F
Pretty
robust,
it's
solid,
it's
solid
one
would
be,
and
so,
if
you're
like
I,
said
it's
a
female
methodology
that
we
use
right,
and
so,
if
you
were
going
after
federal
dollars,
they
would
want
to
see
a
benefit
cost
analysis
done
and
for
them
one
is
is
good
enough,
so
1.9
is
pretty
good
and
we
do
have
all
of
the
backup
methodology
and
a
whole
report.
F
F
F
F
C
C
E
So
those
rocks
were
part
of
an
Army
Corps
project
revetmen
or
armoring.
It's
basically,
it
was
just
to
stabilize
the
shoreline.
There
was
a
big
erosion
problem,
so
that
was,
it
wasn't
intended
to
address
Flooding
at
all,
and
what
we're
going
to
have
to
do
is
well
with
the
Earth
and
berm
we
might
be
able
to
if
the
Army
lets
us
do
it.
E
Just
backfilling
and
compact,
on
top
of
those
worst
case,
is
we'd,
have
to
remove
them
and
and
but
I
think
they're
going
to
work
as
a
stabilizer,
but
we
will
have
to
get
that
approved
by
the
Army,
because
that
was
their
project.
So.
C
Okay,
my
second
question
is
since
I'm
this
10-year
flood,
so
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
that
means.
But
if,
if
it's
the
case
that
10
years
and
we
have
flooding,
that's
bigger
than
that,
then
what
do
we
do
and
how
soon
are
we
going
to
have
to
address
that
and
when
would
you
have
to
start
and
where
would
that
funding
come
from
and
so
I'm
wondering
you
know?
Is
this
cost
effective
in
that
way?
If
we're
going
to
have
to
we
do
it
or
do
we
just
add
to
it
or
what
right.
H
Well,
I
guess
the
first
thing:
I
guess
the
10-year
flight
event.
I
guess
is
the
I
guess
a
storm,
that's
in
the
10
chance
of
occurring
every
year,
but
it's
there's
a
elevation,
a
sort
of
a
flood
elevation,
that's
associated
with
those
that
comes
from
from
FEMA
and
it's
5.8
feet
is
the
elevation
of
the
water.
H
We
get
a
10-year
storm
event,
so
but
I
guess
the
if,
if
there
was
an
event
that
was
higher
than
that,
it
would
of
course
go
over
the
exist,
the
new
berm
and
we
would
still
flood
the
streets
in
in
the
community.
So
it's
the
only
provider
protection
up
to
that
10-year
play
event.
If
you
wanted
to
protect
the
higher
elevations,
then
you'll
have
to
have
a
higher
wall
or
a
higher
berm,
and
then
you
have
to
deal
with
I
guess
also
the
surrounding
Property
Owners.
H
You
know
reducing
the
blocking
the
views
of
the
Bayou,
which
is
one
of
the
probably
one
of
the
main
reasons.
They
purchased
property
there
on
the
water
for
the
beautiful
views,
because
it
is
beautiful
driving
around
the
Bayou.
There.
H
C
E
E
E
F
I
I
will
add
to
that
that
we,
when
we
were
putting
together
all
the
documentation
for
for
potential
funding
opportunities,
we
made
sure
that
it
would
be
an
easy,
Plug
and
Play
so
that
it
wouldn't
take
a
lot
of
effort
to
be
able
to
go
after
all
of
these
guys
because
they
come.
You
know
they
roll
through
throughout
the
year
and
annually.
F
So
we
made
sure
that
the
documentation
was
there,
so
that
PJ
and
whoever
else
is
working
on
any
grants,
would
be
able
to
have
an
easy
time,
just
kind
of
plugging
that
in.
C
Well,
let
me
just
ask
one
more
question,
then
I'm
sorry,
is
this
a
project
similar
to
that
been
done,
otherwhere
in
the
state
and
has,
if
there
is
has
had
those
projects
been
funded.
H
There's
been
other
projects
around
the
state
similar
to
this
one
I
I,
guess
I,
don't
know
about
the
funding
part
of
it
as
much
yeah.
F
There
similar
there's
been
a
lot
of
attention
on
living
shorelines
recently
and
so
down
in
Miami
Florida
in
Morningside
Park.
There
is
some
living
shorelines
going
on
down
there,
as
well
as
other
areas,
Marketplace
Park.
So
there
is
precedence
for
this
kind
of
work
and
for
funding
this
kind
of
work.
That's
what
I
wanted
to.
C
F
It
yes,
yeah.
Definitely
president,
there
is
actually
an
emphasis
on
natural,
green
nature-based
features
being
incorporated
into
flood
protection
now,
especially
with
the
funding
landscape
that
we're
seeing.
J
Well,
thank
you
Bob
and
Melissa
and
Paul
for
taking
this
back
to
us
and
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
to
weigh
in
I
have
a
couple
questions
about
where
it's,
the
private
property
begins,
and
so
the
project
ends.
Has
anybody
done
any
Outreach
to
those
private
property
owners
to
ask
them
if
they
want
to
be
included
in
it,
I
mean.
Is
that
a
a
potential
I
just
I'm
just
thinking.
E
E
It
takes
a
long
time
to
work
through
those
kinds
of
things,
so
we
figured
that
this
is
a
great
first
phase
and
it's
certainly
you
can
see
by
what
you're
seeing
on
the
map
there,
how
much
it
you
know
how
much
of
an
area
it
it
helps
to
alleviate
the
flooding
for,
as
you
know,
if
I
feel
like,
if,
if
the
approach
is,
if
we
get
this
one
to
work,
if
we
for
successful
getting
grant
funding
for
it,
it'd
be
easier
to
get
it
as
a
second
phase,
where
we
would
take
the
time
to
reach
out
to
all
those
private
property
owners,
you
could
see
it's
pretty
complicated
around
in
there.
J
Sure
I
think
that
this
is
just
my
opinion,
but
because
we
did
ask
citizen
input
to
really
educate
on
why
we're
we're
using
the
the
T
approach
in
addition
to
the
Berm,
instead
of
just
going
with
the
berms
that
people
aren't
like.
Well,
we
told
you
what
we
wanted
and
we're
not
getting
it.
You
know
just
I
think
that
that's
important
to
really
explain
like
the
science
behind
why
it's
just
not
feasible
in
certain
areas
and
then
finally,
for
the
for
the
berm
area.
H
Which
is
I
think
those
are
just
images
picked
from
the
software
for
plant
things
but
yeah,
so
we
would
have
some
environmentalist
scientists
on
the
team
when
we
went
and
proposed
the
actual
plant
things
that
would
be
included
in
the
project.
Absolutely
thank.
D
H
No,
that
would
be
just
for
the
cost
of
the
construction
of
the
structure
and
the
cost
of
the
panels.
But
then
the
city
would
need
to
have
a
location
that
they
would
store
the
panels
and
then
they
would
have.
They
have
the
equipment
that
they
would
use
to
to
bring
them
to
the
site
and
install
them.
D
Okay
and
then
my
my
other
question
is:
how
do
we
know
right
now
during
a
heavy
rain
or
a
king
tide,
or
when,
when
that
whole
area
of
Whitcomb
value
is
kind
of
underwater
a
little
bit
what's
happening
on
the
canal,
or
is
that
is
that
water
at
like
cresting
sea
walls?
At
this
point,
and
by
putting
a
berm
in
during
a
during
a
high
tide,
does
that
change
that
water
level
for
that
Canal?
For
those
owners
in
there
does
it?
Does
it
make
more
sense
to
take
a
look
at
citizens?
H
Right
so
the
so
the
level
in
the
canal,
when
the
when
the
when
the
level
in
the
bayou
goes
up,
the
canal
level
is
at
the
same
level.
So
the
the
berms
would
definitely
I
know
that
the
flooding
is
in
that
Southeast
Corner
by
Martin
Luther
King
Drive.
That's
where
I
that
I
think
the
majority
of
the
flooding
has
been
from
King
tides,
and
so
that
would
the
berm
would
definitely
alleviate
that
flooding.
H
I,
don't
believe
that
the
king
Tides
have
really
went
over
any
sea
walls
in
the
canal,
they're
they're
high
enough
that
they're
they
would
not
from
a
king
type
event
that
the
sea,
the
water
has
not
over
over
top.
The
sea
walls
does.
D
E
A
H
Well,
I
know
that
it's
a
little
larger
scale
but
in
the
outside
of
the
state,
Arceus,
has
done
a
lot
of
work
in
New
Orleans
with
much
higher
levies
and
also
stop
log
structures
that
are
probably
protect
the
city
of
of
New
Orleans.
So,
but
this
is
just
a
smaller
scale
than
those
levees.
Those
levees
might
be
a
20
feet
high,
and
these
will
may
only
be
three
feet
high.
So
but
yes,
just
a
smaller
scale,.
G
A
H
I
mean
I
mean
just
having
the
the
berms
and
the
and
the
stop
logs
will
contain
the
water
within
the
within
with
come
by
you,
but
it
won't.
It
would
just
be
a
the
water
level
will
be
a
higher
level
in
the
bayou
and
not
be
flooding
the
streets
or
the
properties.
C
I
have
one
more
question:
Carol.
Could
you
could
you
talk
about
the
timeline
for
this
I
know
you
have
different
phases,
so
there's
a
design
phase
right
right.
H
H
Right
so
the
first,
the
first
phase
once
if
the,
if
we
got
the
funding,
would
be
to
go
out
and
do
like
the
gym
initial
studies
like
a
geotechnical
analysis
and
Survey
of
the
area,
and
we
would
need
that
an
environmental
study.
H
We
need
that
for
the
design
to
do
the
design,
I
think
the
design
of
the
of
this
of
the
berm
and
the
stop
log
structure
you
know
probably
take
about
one
year
and
and
then
after
that,
the
project
could
go
out
for
bid
and
and
then
be,
the
contractors
can
be
selected
and
and
the
project
could
be
constructed.
H
E
We
haven't
done
a
schedule
estimate
on
that,
but
I
will
add
that
the
timeline
also
depends,
even
though
we
just
make
the
assumption
that
we
get
funding.
The
timeline
depends
on
the
funding
source,
because
different
funding
agencies
have
different
requirements
and
federal
funding
has
all
kinds
of
Hoops
you
have
to
jump
through,
and
sometimes
it
could
take
a
year
and
a
half
to
even
get
through
the
design
and
the
permitting.
E
So
that
drives
the
schedule
a
lot
and
then
construction,
it's
probably
an
eight
to
twelve
month
construction
period,
but
when
it
starts,
is
really
a
function
of
the
funding,
because
we
don't
have
to
my
knowledge,
11
million
dollars
available
to
do
this
project,
so
we
obviously
have
to
get
the
grant
funding,
and
even
if
we
do
there's
a
there's,
a
City
match
that
we'll
have
to
provide,
and
that
also
needs
to
be
budgeted.
That
has
not
been
budgeted
to
my
knowledge
yet
either.
So
there's
a
lot
of
factors
a
lot
of
moving
Parts.
E
C
C
C
You
know
there's
a
lot
that
can
happen
in
that
time
weather-wise.
So
it's
good
to
know
projects.
Oh
good
it'll.
You
know
well
well,
no!
It's
going
to
take
let's
say
four
years
yeah
if
we're
lucky.
A
And
one
more
question
regarding
the
rocks
that
you
said
that
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
put
in,
have
we
been
in
contact
with
them
about
the
proposed
plan?
Yeah.
E
E
Permit,
oh
sure,
yes,
yes,
and
of
course-
and
they
say
we
won't
look
at
it
until
you-
they
won't
officially
look
at
it
until
we
do
a
full
design.
So
it's
like
you've
got
to
spend
money
up
front
before
they
even
give
you
the
indication
that
you
can
do
the
project
we
have
done
pre-apples.
We
have
talked
to
them,
so
we
we
have
a
pretty
good
feel
that
that
we
can
do
this,
but
it's
sort
of
like
we
had
to
get
to
this
point
before
we
can
move
to
the
next
one.
I
To
how
this
was
first
presented
with
all
the
different
options-
and
it
was
like
how
is
this
ever
going
to
come
together?
You
know,
but
when
I
look
at
the
the
aerial
and
see
just
that
little
bit
of
that
t
wall
in
the
berm
and
it's
just
I
think
this
will
be
very
palatable
for
the
public.
It's
a
great
solution,
so
I
think
you've
been
very
responsive
to
what
the
commission
wanted
and
what
the
public
has
asked
for.
Thank.
E
You
thanks
for
the
feedback
there
I
think
one
thing
I
really
like
about
that
option
that
we
came
up
with
there
is
that
if
you
were
to
walk
all
around
the
Bayou,
even
with
t-walls,
you
wouldn't
see
t-walls,
you
would
just
see
a
planted
berm
all
the
way
around.
So,
if
you
like
it,
it
was
my
idea.
If
you
don't
it.
D
D
Sorry,
thank
you
like
really
far
because
I'm
short,
can
you
address
The,
Brick
funding
and
why
we
were
not
necessarily
eligible
for
because
that
was
the
original
thought.
Was
we're
going
to
do
a
lot
of
this
through
the
brick
funding?
But
can
you
just
address
like
what
the
issue
was
for
that.
E
So
the
main
issue
was
the
way
they
apparently
they
changed.
The
scoring
in
this
last
year
and
Melissa's
predecessor,
Ajani,
had
had
an
arcadist,
went
through
a
whole
scoring
exercise
on
on
trying
to
see
how
we
would
rank,
and
the
number
was
so
poor
that
we
didn't
see
our
opportunity
being
very
good.
So
we
we
didn't
even
move
forward
with
that.
Do
you
recall
anything
else
on
that
on
brick,.
F
One
of
the
factors
going
into
the
scoring
is
the
social
vulnerability
piece.
This
area
doesn't
rank
very
high
on
the
social
vulnerability
scale,
and
so
there's
projects
out
there
that
are
benefiting
people
more
densely
populated
areas
with
higher
Social
concerns,
and
so
that
was
one
of
the
key
factors.
A
A
E
Yeah
we
had
display
boards
set
up
and
we
had
the
meeting
at
Craig
Park
and
we
had
people
fill
out,
comment
cards
and
and
yeah
it
was,
and
by
far
the
the
berm,
the
other
berm
was
the
preferred
option.
So
we're
glad
we
were
able
to
make
that
work.
Excellent.
G
A
As
we
continue,
we
will
have
a
debriefing
on
the
presentation
of
the
sustainability
plan
to
the
boc.
G
B
Know
it's
over
here
so
presenting
the
sustainability
plan
to
the
boc,
so
I
wanted
to
First
say
thank
you
to
the
sustainability
committee
members
who
came
to
both
the
presentation
and
also
the
second
boc
meeting.
So
we
had
actually
two
boc
meetings.
The
first
was
June
27th,
during
which
we
gave
the
presentation
of
the
sustainability
plan
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners,
and
it
was
very
well
received
by
the
Commissioners.
They
had
very
positive
comments
and
also
the
public
gave
some
helpful
comments
and
suggestions
as
well.
B
The
Board
of
Commissioners
gave
special
thank
you
to
the
sustainability
committee
for
all
of
your
hard
work,
and
so
they
gave
us
that
feedback
that
we
then
used
to
make
the
finalized
version
of
the
sustainability
plan
that
we
sent
to
you
all
in
an
email
and
made
sure
those.
It
was
just
a
very
few
minor
changes
that
we
pointed
out
made
sure
that
looked
good,
and
then
we
brought
it
back
to
the
boc
again
at
their
July
11th
regular
session.
B
At
which
point
we
did
a
resolution
to
adopt
the
sustainability
plan
and
the
commission.
It
was
unanimous,
adopted
the
sustainability
plan.
So
these
sustainability
plan
has
been
adopted
and
again
they
thanked
the
sustainability
committee.
For
all
that
you
do
so.
It's
definitely
quite
an
amazing
accomplishment
and
lots
of
positive
commentary
again
from
the
Board
of
Commissioners
and
from
members
of
the
public
as
well.
A
I
thought
that
the
the
entire
presentation
went
really
well
and
it
was
very
easy
to
understand
and
the
more
that
I
read
the
plan,
the
more
that
we
read
through
it.
The
better
I
feel
about
it,
because
one
of
the
plans
that
we
had
looked
at
really
early
on
was
Largo's
plan
and
I
felt
that
that
was
very
accessible
to
the
average
person,
as
well
as
having
technical
components,
but
I
thought
that
you
know
everybody
on
the
committee
or
everybody
on
the
Board
of
Commissioners
is
fairly
new
to
the
information.
A
Perhaps,
unless
they've
had
a
passion
for
researching
sustainability
and
I
think
that
they
understood
you
know,
and
there
was
no
quarrel
about
any
aspect
of
it
and
again
it
was.
You
know
reiterated
that
we're
all
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
three
plans
simultaneously
that
helps
integrate
sustainability
into
the
greater
strategic
and
comprehensive
plans
in
the
city,
which
is
highly
beneficial.
I
mean
it's
not
as
though
it's
an
add-on.
Let's
add
this
on
or
let's
change
this.
It's
all
happening
simultaneously.
It's
integrated,
and
that
is
very
beneficial.
A
C
During
the
presentation,
I
was
really
impressed
with
you
Robin,
because
that
was
a
lengthy
plan,
a
lengthy
presentation-
and
you
took
your
time
and
you
were
so
professional.
You
were
so
clear.
You
didn't
get
nervous.
You
weren't,
like
oh,
my
God
I,
better
hurry
up,
you
know
you
were
like
and
I
mean
it
was
brilliant
and
then,
on
top
of
it,
the
mayor
asks
Denise
to
come
up
and
say
something
and
she
wasn't
planned
and
you
were
really
good.
C
You
were
clear,
you
spoke
and
it
it
really
showed
that
we're
a
team
and
that
we've
worked
through
this
together
and
I
think
that
it
made
all
of
us
look
good
and
it
elevated
the
whole
level
of
discussion.
So
I.
Thank
both
of
you
for
doing
that,
because
you
make
me
look
good
and
I
like
that.
I
I
completely
Echo
what
Carol
said.
You
were
amazing
that
everything
just
flowed
beautifully
the
the
comments,
and
it
was
stellar,
probably
should
think
of
a
different
word,
but
Stellar
will
work
for
now
and
Denise.
You
really
stepped
up
as
well.
I
mean
that
was
kind
of
spur
of
the
moment.
You
were
just
very
smooth
and
professional,
and
you
know
showed
the
knowledge
that
you've
accumulated
about
this.
It
was
wonderful,
it
was
really
really
a
good
night.
I
A
B
B
Ended
up
actually
being
earlier
than
really
so.
It
was
the
last
thing
on
the
agenda,
but
I
forgot
that
public
or
it
was
a
public
hear
ordinances
start
at
7
30.,
so
it
it
took
me
by
surprise.
I
was
actually
watching
in
my
office.
I
wasn't
in
the
main
room
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
I
hear
them
announce
okay
time
for
it,
and
it
says
they
had
to
run
as
I
was
not
I
was
thinking
it
wouldn't
be
until
10.,
it's
announced.
I'm
surprised,
I
have
to
be
there
so
I'm.
Sorry
about
that.
A
A
B
Now
I
know
so,
but
it's
all
recorded
it's
on
YouTube,
of
course,
and
that
packet
and
the
packet
from
the
June
27th
meeting
are
also
online.
G
J
I
just
know
very
quickly
because
so
I
you
know
was
out
of
town,
so
I
couldn't
attend
the
the
meeting
where
you
guys
both
presented,
but
so
thank
you
for
representing
and
I
did
go
to
the
last
meeting
where
they
did
the
the
second
reading,
and
then
it
was
all
approved
and
I
just
want
to
say
how
excited
I
was
that
when
I
was
hearing
the
mayor
in
commission
speak,
they
seem
to
really
understand
all
of
the
social
aspects
that
it's
not
just
like
an
environmental
or
a
climate
plan,
but
that
it's
like
a
wrap
around
plan
for
the
city.
A
The
next
step
is
presenting
the
sustainability
plan
to
the
public,
and
that
is
so
exciting.
So
we
want
to
know
what
ideas
there
are
that
are
floating
around
for
actually
making
it
known
number
one
that
we
have
a
plan
number
two,
that
everyone
can
be
involved
in
in
it,
even
though
it's
a
city
and
that
you
know
it's
a
city
that
is
becoming
more
sustainable
itself,
the
whole
Community
can
be
part
of
it.
So
that's
what
we're
hoping
to
come
up
with
is
some
some
concepts
for
presenting
this
to
the
city.
B
G
B
Implementation,
roll
it
out
begin
unveiling
to
the
public,
but
definitely
do
have
ideas
and
also
would
love
to
hear
yours
and
I
know.
We
talked
Denise
about
perhaps,
for
instance,
maybe
an
event
kind
of
like
our
knowledge
and
nibbles
event,
where
maybe
there's
a
presentation,
and
we
show
the
sustainability
plan
and
maybe
there's
even
refreshments
and
it's
sort
of
a
celebration
and
learning
about
what
the
sustainability
plan
is
and
could
have
some
copies
of
either
the
plan
or
summary
of
the
plan.
B
K
Yeah,
excuse
me:
it
obviously
we're
disappointed
to
be
losing
Robin
at
this
kind
of
key
juncture,
but
it
also
presents
a
unique
opportunity.
Robin's
been
the
face
of
sustainability
as
long
as
she's
been
here
and
we're
gonna
have
a
new
face
and
we
want
to
give
that
and
it's
a
kind
of
great
time
for
that
person
to
go
out.
Do
a
little
bit
of
Road
Show
get
up
get
out
in
the
community.
K
Meet
new
folks
meet
some
of
the
folks
that
have
been
involved
in
the
past
meet
some
new
folks
that
maybe
aren't
aware
of
what's
going
on
with
sustainability.
Yet
and
let
that
person
take
the
ball
and
run
with
it
and
carry
it
forward,
and
you
know
put
this
out
into
the
public
and
also
let
everyone
know
that
there's
a
new
you
know
primary
contact
for
sustainability,
and
if
they
have
any
questions
you
know
let
them
get
their
name
out
there
in
the
public
and
start
making
those
Community
connections.
C
C
Okay,
so
here's
what
you
might
want
to
do
you
know,
and
then
you
know
I've
had
this
experience
a
lot
and
they
go
oh
wow
I
could
do
that
and
and
it
gives
them
an
in
to
to
action
and
I-
think
that
that's
what
we
want
with
the
community,
we
don't
want
them
just
to
read
a
plan.
We
want
them
to
go
into
action,
but
we're
going
to
have
to
indicate
methods
and
then
once
we
start
indicating
methods,
then
they
they'll
start
making
things
up.
C
K
Thing
that
we're
going
to
definitely
be
considering
too
is
this,
is
you
know
again
a
shift
in
focus
from
planning
phase
to
implementation
phase,
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
action
items
listed
in
year.
One
and
a
lot
of
those
revolve
around
you
know
working
well,
I,
say
planning,
but
we're
gonna
be
working
quite
a
bit,
I
think
with
Planning
and
Zoning
on,
like
some
ordinances
and
comp
plan,
amendments
and
ldr,
so
there'll
be
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
interface
with
the
public
on
those
items.
Those
are
going
to.
K
You
know
clearly
have
some
public
engagement.
You
know
particularly
working
with
Planning
and
Zoning
on
their
efforts,
so
we'll
probably
be
piggybacking
on
some
of
what
they've
got
going
on
with
their
public
Outreach,
and
you
know
again
trying
to
drive
public
feedback
on.
You
know
some
of
the
goals
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
in
your
years.
One
and
two
mm-hmm.
A
Beautiful
excellent
yeah,
I've
kind
of
envisioned
making
it
very
celebrational,
you
know
if
we
can
invite
people
to
the
Heritage,
Center
and
or
to
the
well,
probably
that
would
be
the
best
location
best
space
for
it
and
just
make
it
a
real
celebrational
experience.
I
Denise
I
wrote
down
celebration
with
exclamation
marks
around
it
too,
because
I
think
this
is
something
to
really
celebrate
in
the
community.
It's
an
opportunity
to
build
community
support
and
Goodwill
and
I
think
the
building
Goodwill
is
is
Carol
was
talking
about
how
what
can
you
do?
Building
that
Goodwill?
That's
a
10!
That's
a
thing
that
you
can
carry
forward
of
the
new
sustainability
director
can
carry
forward.
So
I
think
this
would
be
a
perfect
juncture
to
kind
of
get
people
excited
about
it.
I
Build
good
Community,
Support
Goodwill
have
a
celebration
about
it
and
look
at
how
we
can
integrate
understanding
of
this
to
the
children.
Tarpon
Elementary
School,
you
know,
there's
a
YMCA
site
there
or
the
after-school
programs.
If
it
can
be
some
type
of
a
thing
that
can
be.
You
know
that
those
children
will
then
go
show
their
parents
and
this
and
that
I
think
that's
a
good
way
to
also
build
from
from
the
younger
perspective
and
so
forth.
Spc
has
an
environmental
club
now
and
I
know.
I
They're
really
excited
to
Robin
and
I
spoke
about
it
briefly
and
we're
going
to
do
an
introduction
or
something.
But
you
know
those
are
community
members
that
are
part
of
that
as
well,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
good
cross
things
going
on
now.
A
You
know
so
yeah
I,
agree,
I,
think
that
a
long
time
ago
we
talked
about
partners
that
we
envisioned
kind
of
collaborating
with
us
and
the
community,
and
maybe
we
need
to
pull
that
list
up
again
and
invite
some
of
the
people
who
represent
different
organizations.
A
Thank
you
for
representing
peace
for
Tarpon
I
mean
everything
everything
that
we
can
do
to
get
the
leaders
of
the
different
areas
of
the
city
to
be
involved
with
this
experience
builds
relationships
and
it
builds
Bridges
and
that's
I,
think
where
we're
at
right
now
is
that
we
want
it
to
roll
out
with
the
most
inspiration,
correct
and
positive
Contagion
possible.
You
know
to
get
everybody
excited
that
we're
taking
care
of
the
future
of
our
city,
and
each
of
us
has
a
has
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
that.
It's
not
just
on
the
city.
K
C
One
thing
is
that,
if
we're
going
to
present
the
plan,
it's
long
and
but
one
thing-
that's
exciting
that
happens
in
Community
like
if
you
have
a
book
or
something
people,
you
get
a
whole
bunch
of
people
and
you
read
part
of
it.
I
mean
I've
been
asked
to
do
that
many
times
and
it's
really
fun,
and
so
we
could
invite
a
bunch
of
people
and
different
people
could
read
part
of
the
plan
and
we
could
do
it
like
a
performance.
So
each
person
gets
a
section
and
they
can
prepare
it.
C
And
you
know
it
so
that's
really
fun
to
do
and
then
you've
already
engaged
a
lot
of
people
in
the
presentation
of
the
plan,
and
then
they
get
a
sense
of
ownership
in
it.
True,
and
it's
not
one
person
going
on
even
though
you're
good
well
you're
not
going
to
be
here,
so
it
doesn't
matter.
But
you
know
one
person
reading
the
plan,
I
hate
to
say
it
could
be
really
boring.
But
this
way
it's
sort
of
you
know
it's
like
an
event
and
like
a
performance
and
it's
the
plan.
D
Sorry
so
just
a
suggestion
in
presenting
this
to
the
public.
D
What
are
your
thoughts
about
making
sure
we
include
like
the
Merchants
Association,
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
so
that
that
can
that
the
businesses
can
then
be
educated
about
what
the
city
is
trying
to
do
and
maybe
they
can
piggyback
and-
and
you
know
we
had
discussed
once
before,
like
making
it
a
I'm,
a
green
business-
or
you
know,
like
the
mayor
kind
of
like
finds,
you
know,
addresses
a
business
that
has
really
kind
of
like
fit
all
these
niches,
but
I
think
I
think
that
that
that
would
be
a
kind
of
a
big
bang
for
our
buck.
D
Maybe
if
we
could
just
educate
the
businesses
through
the
Merchants
Association,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
something
goes
through
the
public
library
like
whether
it's
a
summary
of
the
plan
or
what
have
you
because
I
think
that
is
a
it's
a
hub
for
people,
people
to
go
into,
and
so,
if
there's
even
if
they'll,
let
us
kind
of
do
like
one
of
these
little
like
gosh,
I'm
thinking,
I,
was
gonna,
say
I'm
thinking
back
to
kids,
science,
fair,
you
know
where,
where
it's
like,
yes,
the
tri-fold
and
it
just
is
like
and
then
it's
the
the
big
gotcha
and
then
the
the
Crux
of
the
information
might
be.
D
You
know
like
a
some
information
to
go
home
with
or
something
what
you
can
do.
Yes,.
A
They
have
a
good
bulletin
board
right
when
you
walk
into
the
lobby
and
I'm
wondering
how
people
get
access
to
presenting
things
on
there.
You
know
just
notices.
A
I
So
it's
I'm
on
the
same
page
with
Karen
as
well,
so
there's
a
a
new
business,
downtown
called
moonberry
and
she
does
all
ecologically
environmental
everything
like
refill
your
soap
bottles
and
here's
this
all.
Well,
you
kind
of
have
to
just
go
in
and
see
and
then
a
resale
shop
res.
You
know
recycling,
clothing
and
things
like
that,
but
that
has
has
gotten
a
lot
of
attention
from
like
young
families
and
young
mothers,
and
so
they
had
like
a
meet
up
there
for
young
mothers
who
are
have
this
Consciousness
to
it.
I
So
it's
like
talking
to
that
shop
owner
and
seeing
how
you
know.
How
can
we
connect
those
those
mothers
who
are
interested
in
this
that
lived
nearby,
that
you
know
and
so
forth?
Bringing
those
that
in
and
what
you
just
said
too
about
the
library
is
the
children's
programs
at
the
library
are
very
robust,
as
well
so
to
have
something
like
Karen's
talking
about
that's
fun
for
the
kids
or
the
types
of
things
that
we
had
for
Earth
Day.
I
G
I
Miss
something
that
they
can
take
home
to
their
parents.
It
says
here's
our
new
plan,
you
know,
but
I
think
the
idea
is
transferring
the
actual
plan
from
the
plan
into
the
community.
That's
where
it's
gonna,
that's
where
it
needs
to
go
now.
If
we
all
understand
it,
that's
great,
but
it
needs
to
get
out
there
to
where
there's
ownership
by
the
community
of
this
of
this
plant
that
they're,
it's
part
of
us
part
of
them.
J
So
I've
got
a
couple
of
ideas
that
I've
just
been
thinking
about
when
you
started
talking
about
the
book
thing.
What
if
we
did
like
a
book
club
and
we
had
like
different
parts-
you
know
what
I
mean,
so
you
would
actually
go
through
the
different
parts
of
the
plan
as
a
community
and
then
have
like
questions
at
the
end
that
are
like.
How
are
we
gonna
like
implement
this?
What
are
you
and
just
it
could
go
through
the
library
too
and
have,
and
it
would
could
be
an
online
piece
too.
J
J
C
K
K
Still
ongoing,
we've
done
it
the
last
definitely
last
year,
I
think!
Oh,
you
did
possibly
the
year
before
that
as
well,
and
they
always
do
a
section
on
public
services
and
all
the
different
departments
or
divisions
within
public
services
department
and
so
we'll
definitely
have
a
focus
on
sustainability.
This
year,
when
we
get
around
to
the
Citizens
Academy.
J
And
then
also
thinking
about
like
piggybacking
on
events
that
are
already
going
to
be
happening
and
maybe
trying
to
like,
like
you,
have
been
ongoing
and
then
just
making
sure
that
it's
like
being
advertised
on
the
bang,
the
table
and
social
media
for
the
city
and
maybe
even
another
news
article
in
the
local
paper
about
like
what
we're
doing
about
how
the
plan
has
passed.
Now
we're
going
to
implementation,
and
we
want
more
citizen
engagement
and
more
folks
involved.
A
So
with
the
book
club
idea,
are
you
thinking
that
we
would
read
together
portions,
not
all
in
one
night
but
just
read
together
portions
and
then
have
discussions.
A
B
A
B
So
we
did
have
a
public
meeting,
yes
for
the
vulnerability
assessment
and
action
plan
project
on
Monday,
July
10th,
some
committee
members
came
to
that.
So
thank
you
for
coming.
We
did
have
a
pretty
good
attendance.
We
had
13
people
come
which
was
like
something
like,
maybe
maybe
like
four
times
as
many
five
times
as
many,
maybe
even
six
times
as
many
as
we
had
to
our
first
public
meeting
for
this
project.
B
I
think
we
only
had
two
people
come
to
the
first
meeting,
so
we
did
a
lot
more
advertising
and
trying
to
get
the
word
out
for
this
second
public
meeting
and
had
13
people
attend
and
we
hosted
it
at
the
Craig
Park
Recreation
Center
and
had
the
Consultants
from
wsp
there
present
to
answer
any
questions
on
the
project
and
for
the
project
they
are
getting
to.
Where
they're
pretty
much
done
with
the
analysis
and
starting
to
write
the
final
report
and
projecting
should
be
completed,
hopefully
by
the
end
of
August.
B
C
Well,
I
have
to
say
that
when
I
walked
in
I
thought
that
there
would
be
a
presentation
and
if
I
hadn't
been
sort
of
part
of
this
I
probably
would
have
left
because
it
was
unclear
to
me
what
to
do.
I
mean
go,
look
at
some
maps
and
you
know
you
know
so
I.
You
know
it
wasn't.
I
mean
because
I
knew
the
guy
who
was
here.
C
I
could
talk
to
him
and
ask
him
some
questions,
but
some
people
were
engaged
and
some
people
weren't
and
then
the
only
feedback
you
could
give
was
writing
a
comment
and
down
and
typically
I.
Don't
do
that.
But
I
did
because
I
felt
obligated
that
I
had
to
do
my
bid,
but
I
thought
that
there
wasn't
any.
C
So
I
think
that
in
the
future,
when
we
have
stuff
like
that,
it
would
be
good
to
have
some
sort
of
presentation
to
give
people
an
entree
into
what's
going
on
and
how
to
look
at
the
maps
and
what
sort
of
things
to
think
about
I
mean
I
had
the
advantage
of
having
a
whole
presentation.
C
So
I
knew
how
to
look
at
the
maps
and
what
to
do
and
so,
and
it
was
also
there
was
a
thunderstorm-
was
going
on
so
I
mean
it
wasn't
the
best
night
to
to
come,
and
there
was
a
sense
of
not
knowing
quite
where
to
go
because
it
wasn't
a
sign
up,
so
I
mean
I.
Think
there
were
things
that
could
be
improved
to
bring
engagement
more
because
I
think
that
this
is
incredibly
important
and
I.
C
Think
it's
something
that
the
community
doesn't
understand
or
realize
because
I
mean
like
I,
say:
I
know
the
benefit
of
that
presentation.
So
I
gained
a
lot
of
Knowledge
from
that
about
what
to
think
about
and
and
why
we
need
this,
and
so
I
think
that
in
the
future
we
just
need
to
make
it
a
more
friendly.
B
Yeah
well,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
feedback,
part
of
the
drawback
of
that
location,
or
if
you
recall
our
first
public
meeting,
was
at
the
rec
center
and
we
didn't
have
the
best
attendance
at
that
meeting
and
we
thought
that
perhaps
moving
it
to
be
in
a
more
central
location
at
the
Heritage
Museum
would
improve
the
attendance
which
it
did.
We
did
have
a
better
attendance,
but
one
of
the
drawbacks
of
that
facility
is
there's
no
projector.
So
that
is
why
we
didn't
do
a
presentation
at
the
first
public
meeting.
C
B
A
Think
we
could.
We
could
start
imagining
that,
because
I
I
had
trouble
finding
it
I
wasn't
sure
where
it
was
I
knew
it
was
in
Craig
Park,
but
I
ran
into
somebody.
I
knew
and
we
were
poking
around,
but
there
was
no
signage
at
all
to
indicate
where
the
location
was
I
agree
there.
It
makes
people
feel
a
little
more
comfortable
when
there's
a
there's,
a
structure
to
the
night.
A
Don't
I
think
that
the
two
people
that
were
there
that
were
the
experts
could
have
been
more
engaged
in
in
proactively
explaining,
rather
than
just
waiting
for
people
to
walk
up
because
I
saw
a
couple
of
people
come
in,
they
looked,
they
looked
around,
they
looked
confused
and
they
walked
out
after
a
short
time
as
an
elderly
gentleman
that
just
really
was
completely
mystified
by
what
what
this
was
about.
I
mean
he
I
think
he
came
because
he
really
wanted
to
to
learn.
But
he
wasn't
very
bold
about
asking
questions.
A
You
know
and
I
think
that
that
is
that's
something
that
we
always
have
to
consider
is
that
when
people
from
the
public
come
to
any
event
and
they're,
not
speakers
and
they're,
they
might
be
shy.
They
might
be
reclusive,
but
they've
come
out
they're
not
going
to
get.
You
know
involved,
but
it
might
Inspire
them
to
get
more
involved.
If
they
hear
what's
going
on
and
then
they,
then
they
might
get
an
idea
of
what
they
might
want
to
ask,
but
it
was,
it
was
kind
of
a
little
stagnant.
A
The
feeling
the
energy
of
that
was
just
a
little
bit
stagnant
and
I.
Think
I
shared
that
with
you.
I
didn't
know
that
it
was
something
that
you
were
putting
on
at
the
time.
I,
don't
know
why
I
just
thought
it
was
another
aspect
of
the
city
that
was
doing
the
vulnerability
presentation,
but
it
wasn't
actually
the
sustainability
committee
that
was
responsible
for
it,
but
that
it's
just
for
future.
You.
A
Because
I
really
Envision
a
lot
more
people
coming
I
think
there's
got
to
be
a
way
and
we
better
start
thinking
of
it
right
now.
There
is
not
the
second
okay,
but
I
mean
you
know,
and
that
for
the
future,
because
we've
got
a
plan,
that's
really
exciting
that
we
want
to
present
it's
been
years
in
the
making
and
I
feel
that
we
want
to
really
attract
as
much
attention
to
what's
going
on
in
the
city
right
now
and
get
people
very
inspired
to
participate
in
this.
This
is
for
our
future
I.
B
G
B
G
G
B
C
A
G
C
I
also
think
people
have
to
I
mean
when
I
hear
vulnerability
thing
I
have
no
clue
what
that
means.
You
know
I'm
sure
you
know.
Why
is
this
important?
What's
full
you
know
so
I
think
in
our
PR.
We
have
to
make
it
clear
what
it
is,
but
also
why
it's
important
and
it
needs
to
be
fun
and
engaging
and
people
want
to
come.
G
C
A
K
What's
you
know?
Did
this
work?
Did
it
not?
Did
it
achieve
our
goals
and
yeah?
Maybe
Robin's
right?
One
of
the
things
that
you
know
has
worked.
You
know
either
all
the
way
up
through
the
works
prior
to
the
workshops
or
developing
the
the
sustainability
plan.
Was
people
tend
to
like
online
surveys
nowadays.
So
you
know
it's
nice
to
get
the
community
together
too,
but
it's
also
nice
to
get
feedback
from
folks
that
you
know
might
not
have
the
spare
time
they
can
go
and
do
a
little
survey
after
soccer
practice
or
something
yeah.
B
I'll
I
will
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
that.
Only
the
to
my
knowledge,
at
least
only
the
connect
Tarpon
administrator
can
see
the
amount
of
people
who
subscribe
to
the
project
I'm
not
able
to
see
it
on
my
side,
but
I
can
get
back
to
you
on
that.
B
Many
people
are
subscribed,
but
I
do
think
it's
a
decent,
a
decent.
Following
that
we
have
and
usually
when
we
send
out
last
couple
times,
I've
sent
out
the
news
blasts
working
with
the
administrator.
It
actually
goes
to
everyone
registered
with
a
connect,
Tarpon
account
and
that's
several
hundred
people.
A
G
A
A
Hey
discuss,
we're
gonna
hear
your
comments,
the
ones
that
came
through
knowledge
and
nibbles
presentation
on
the
city's
sustainability
initiatives,
Rob
and
I-
assume
that
you
have
that.
B
Yes,
I
do
so
one
of
the
challenges
there
was
since
I
was
giving
the
presentation.
I
was
not
able
to
take
notes
during
the
presentation,
so
I
am
going
off
of
memory
of
what
I
recall
were
some
of
the
key
comments
during
the
presentation,
but
would
definitely
like
to
know
if
you
all
remember
anything
I'm
leaving
out.
B
So
some
of
the
key
comments
that
I
recall
were
more
often
recycling,
pickups
and
option
for
larger
recycling
bins.
I
know
there
was
a
quite
a
conversation
about
Recycling
and
how
to
make
recycling
more
accessible
and
more
convenient
for
residents
and
expanding
recycling
in
the
city.
So
those
were
the
specific
comments.
I
recall,
moving
the
city
away
from
single-use
products
and
the
sustainable
procurement
came
up
tied
that,
in
with
the
sustainable
procurement
policy,
which
will
be
in
our
it
is
in
our
sustainability
plan.
B
Utilizing
the
city's
television
channel
more
frequently
as
a
means
of
public
engagement
and
advertising
I
believe
it
was
asked
how
to
engage
with
and
join
the
sustainability
committee
and
I
was
also
asked
that,
following
the
presentation
as
well
and
it's
this
one
I
did
receive
also
follow-up
questions.
After
the
presentation
from
a
resident
on
the
city's
floodplain
Management
program
and
Community
rating
system
score,
which
is
something
that
we
had
in
the
presentation,
so
those
were
my
main
comments.
I
had
written
down.
A
C
Be
I,
don't
think
it
can
be,
but
that's
why?
But
you
took
it
at
the
Earth
Earth
Day.
C
Shred
event,
so
we
did
talk
about
that.
How
much
businesses
shred
things
I
mean
I
shred
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
we
can't
recycle
it
and
it
seemed
silly
that
and
I
understand
it's
a
little.
It
gets
stuck
in
the
machines,
but
that's
a
lot
of
paper
being
sent
to
the
landfill
when
it
could
be
recycled
or
used
in
some
other
way.
That's.
C
I
Can't
remember
anything
any
of
the
other
comments.
I.
Remember
that
a
lot
of
the
the
people
who
are
very
passionate,
while
speaking,
were
talking
about
things
that
were
already
in
our
plan
and
things
that
we'd
already
discussed
and
and
things
that
we
mentioned
early
on
when
we
were
formulating
our
overview
and
so
forth.
So
there
must
be
some
like
common
questions
or
common
concerns
that
everybody
a
lot
of
people
have.
I
You
know
it
would
be
cool
to
have
a
way
to
put
those
types
of
common
questions
into
some
type
of
a
format
where
people
can
see,
because
because
you
spend
a
lot
of
time,
answering
questions
that
we're
kind
of
it's
kind
of
a
moot
point,
but
the
the
public.
The
person
who
asked
the
question
didn't
have
any
knowledge
of
it.
G
I
B
Yeah,
that's
a
good
point
yeah
that
that
is
a
good
point
and
I
do
think.
Just
kind
of
a
learning
experience
from
this
I
do
think.
If
we
were
to
do
something
like
this
in
the
future,
it
would
be
important
to
have
a
designated
staff
member
there.
Taking
those
notes
down
of
the
public
comment-
and
you
know
right
as
they're
happening,
because.
B
Even
after
the
fact
and
yeah,
and
then
that
will
help
us
too,
to
kind
of
sort,
sort
them
and
keep
track
of
them
as
well.
I.
C
C
I
know
that
lots
of
communities
have
these
channels.
I
know
I
used
to
do
some
things
on
on
one
channel
when
I
lived
in
Kansas
City,
and
it
really
was,
you
know,
engaging
people
there
you
know
was
an
interview,
show
and
have
people
on,
and
you
get
to
know
your
community
and
and
you
can
do
the
vulnerability
stuff
on
the
TV
channel
so
I.
B
A
A
B
D
Karen
this
this
may
kind
of
tie
in
a
little
bit
to
part
c
as
well
as
this,
but
and
since
we're
talking
about
like
the
television
station
Etc
is
the
city
has
a
a
Facebook
page,
and
so,
if
it's
something
that
the
city
might
be
willing
to
kind
of
say,
you
know
that
the
city
is
now
rolling
out
the
sustainability
action
plan.
Here's
a
link
to
it
so
that
anybody
who
get
is
is
a
member
of
the
so
again
I
mean
it
kind
of
goes
with
it.
D
It's
I
think
it
goes
back
with
c
and
for
some
reason,
I'm
just
thinking
out
of
out
of
order
now,
but
but
it
is
kind
of
one
of
those
like
yeah.
You
know
how
do
we
get
that
word
out
to.
D
D
B
You
mean
the
city
of
Tarpon,
Springs,
City,
Hall,
Facebook,
page
yeah
yeah.
We
did
make
a
post
about
the
sustainability
plan
the
other
day.
I,
don't
know
if
the
wording
was
quite
like
that,
but
that
is
definitely
something
we
can.
D
I
A
G
B
So,
as
you
know,
we've
been
pulling
this
up
at
the
past
in
every
meeting
past
several
months
to
track
progress
on
the
way
to
implement
the
sustainability
plan.
K
Yes,
it
seems
that
no
matter
which
item
we're
on
we
keep
going
back
to
item
C,
so
we're
going
to
be
doing
some
Outreach
and
trying
to
publish
it
and
we
will
probably
be
you
know,
tempering
things
a
little
bit
as
we
try
and
get
the
new
person
online
or
you
know
and
hired
you
know
we
do
want
them
to
be
the
face
moving
forward,
but
we'll
be
doing
some
we'll
be
continuing
to
do
some
Outreach
in
the
interim,
and
you
know
I
imagine
that'll
be
one
of
the
the
new
sustainability
coordinators
like
first
major
tasks
is
really
like
hit
the
ground
running,
get
out.
B
So
as
far
as
the
physical
printed,
copies,
I
can't
give
an
exact
date
on
when
that
is
expected,
but
it
is
published
on
our
website
and
we
are
starting
to
get
the
word
out
through.
B
C
K
K
You
know
Statewide
and
you
know
in
other
regions,
and
the
number
of
plans
that
come
in
exactly
on
time
or
even
early
is
quite
small,
and
it's
really
a
testament
to
Rob's
like
hard
work
and
dedication
that
she
was
able
to
keep
pushing
this
ball
up
the
hill
and
and
get
this
thing
done
not
just
on
time,
but
early
I
think
that's
a
big
Testament
to
her
work
ethic
and
her
ability
to
get
things
done.
A
K
I
think
that'll
be
if
I
may
I
think
that'll
be
a
pretty
meaty
item
to
that'll
be
again
take
up
the
majority
of
the
meeting,
but
I
would
suggest
a
second
item,
and
you
know
it
seems
like
old
things
are
always
new
again,
we'll
probably
give
you
guys
an
update
if
you
would
like
on
the
status
for
recruiting
the
sustainability
coordinator.
Oh.
C
C
G
L
First,
thank
Robin.
You
know
it
was
sad
news
when
but
I
understand
you
know
this
is
something
she
needs
to
do,
but
if
it
had
to
happen,
I'm
glad
it's
really
a
nicest
Tommy
mentioned
a
nice
Milestone
and
a
great
accomplishment
for
her
to
put
us
in
this
position
now
to
move
forward.
But
I
wanted
to
just
assure
you
all.
L
I'll
be
involved
as
well
in
terms
of
the
recruitment
process
and
we're
going
to
work
to
make
lightning
strike
twice
in
the
same
place.
We
were
able
to
find
Robin
and
she
was
fantastic
and
we're
going
to
apply
the
same
types
of
standards
and
methods
to
search
high
and
low
I'm.
I'm
optimistic
I
think
this
is
a
popular
field
for
people
to
enter
very
capable
people.
I
would
say
more
so
than
many
of
our
other
positions,
so
I
think
we
have
reason
to
be
optimistic.
L
I've
spoken
to
the
city
manager
he's
very
supportive
of
you
know,
providing
what
we
need
to
provide
if
someone
comes
in
with
a
lot
of
experience
or
some
flexibility
in
the
hiring
point,
you
know
in
the
pay
range
Etc
and
so
he's
supportive
of
getting
the
right
person
the
best
person
we
can
so
I
just
wanted
you
all
to
know
that
it's
important
to
me
and
Tommy's
going
to
be
great
at
keeping
things
going,
he's
been
involved.
L
The
whole
time
he's
very
capable
and
I
think
he'll
bring
a
lot
to
helping
our
new
person
get
on
board
and
keep
moving
forward
and
I
will
say.
Robin
has
also
been
helping
us
in
strategies
for
inviting
people
to
apply
and
she's
reaching
out
to
her
contacts
so
that
you
know
we
can
all
work
together
on
this.
The.
K
And
add
on
to
that
you
know,
obviously
everyone's
probably
heard
that
it's.
G
K
So
if
there's
a
you
know
a
sustainability
group
that
you're
involved
in
or
an
environmental
group
that
you're
involved
in-
and
you
just
want
to
send
that
out
to
the
group
and
say
hey
tarpon's,
looking
for
a
new
sustainability
coordinator,
they
can
go
look
at
the
job
description
and
maybe
pass
it
around,
and
you
know
sometimes
word
of
mouth
is
the
best
way
to
get
the
word
out
so
that
that
would
be
a
small
challenge
to
you
and
also
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
all
and
if
in
the
interim,
if
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
or
anything
that
I
can
help
you
out
with
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
directly.
K
You
know
via
email
or
phone
and
I'll
do
my
best
to
to
address
your
your
needs
and
I.
Imagine
I'll
be
working
a
little
bit
with
Denise
before
our
next
meeting
and
I
know.
Robin's
leaving
big
shoes
to
fill,
but
I
have
big
feet
so
we'll
see
what
we
can
do.
B
B
I
really
am,
but
it
is
family
decision
to
relocate
to
Orlando
area,
but
it
has
been
wonderful
working
here
and
I
also
wanted
to
say,
I'd
love
to
stay
in
touch
and,
if
you'd
like
to
love
to
give
you,
my
personal
email
and
I
will
be
keeping
my
eye
on
on.
B
Watch
the
progress
and
and
I'll
keep
Taz
the
new
sustainability
coordinator.
Who
will
be
my
colleague
and
yeah
track
the
progress
so
I'll
always
support
Tarpon,
Springs
sustainability?
That's.
A
K
K
K
Oh
thanks
I'm
excited
as
you
as
you
might
well
know,
I'm
an
environmental
engineer
by
training.
You
know
you
go
into
the
environmental
engineering
field
because
you
want
to
do
good
screen
stuff
for
the
environment
and
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
Divisions
and
you
know
in
public
services,
but
this
is
one
of
the
most
fun
for
me.
So.
G
K
D
I
would
just
like
to
thank
Robin
for
everything
that
she's
done
and
wish
you
all
the
best
in
your
endeavors
I
mean
I.
Just
you
know
you
came
into
this
brand
new
position.
Hit
the
ground
running.
I
told
you
before
I'm,
not
sure
that
you
ever
slept
because
you
just
you
know
you
were
always
prepared
and
you
challenged
us
and
really
kept
us
on
task.
D
We
would
not
be
where
we
are
today
without
you
having
filled
that
position
so
I
wish
you
nothing
but
the
best
in
in
what
you're
doing
next
and
the
next
person
I'm
not
sure
that
somebody
has
you
already,
but
the
next
group
that
snatches
you
up
is
Super
Lucky.
They
do
not
know
what
they're
getting
So
yeah.
Thank
you
so
much
for
everything.
You've
done
it.
H
J
Just
wanted
to
again,
like
really
Echo
that
sentiment
and
just
personally
for
me
like
it,
was
really
a
pleasure
working
hand
in
glove
with
you
being
the
the
committee
chair
because
you're
just
very
responsive
and
like
Beyond
professional
but
I
like
you,
you
can
tell
like
you,
take
it
to
heart
and
you
have
a
passion
for
it.
So
really.
Thank
you
for
that
and
the
little
thing
there
the
plant
I
just
wanted
to
share
with
you
the
it
came
from
a
woman
who
was
an
artist
in
Tarpon.
J
Her
name
was
Lynn
cart,
Anderson,
oh
and
she
used
to
do
Solstice
parties
every
year
and
there
was
a
plant
exchange
at
the
party
and
we'd
also
like
celebrate
Solstice
and
eat
chocolate
and
stuff.
But
it
was
just
a
cool
like
sense
of
community
and
she
passed
away
over
10
years
ago
now,
so
that
plant's
ancestors
have
been
hanging
out
on
my
property
for
all
that
time
and
I
don't
know
I.
Just
she
really
like
embodies
that
ethos
of
of
community
and
so
I
wanted
to
pass
that
along
to
you,.
G
J
Thank
you
and
then
on
another
note:
I
did
want
to
just
I
guess
Channel
Dr
Robinson
in
expressing
my
just
concern
for
the
heat
situation
that
we're
all
experiencing,
like
not
just
as
a
local
community,
but
as
a
nation,
Global,
community
and
I'm
going
to
share
with
each
of
you.
J
There
is
a
Miami
Peak
heat
index
graphic
that
was
shared
on
Twitter
by
Dr
I.
Don't
know
if
he's
doctor,
but
Brian
mcnoldy
University
of
Miami,
and
it
really
and
it
shows
how
many
hours
per
per
year
over
the
heat
index
the
city
of
Miami
is
experiencing
and
it's
got
the
bumps
and
bumps
and
bumps,
and
then
it
just
skyrockets
this
year.
So
you
can
visually
see
that
it's
not
just
like.
J
F
G
J
Know
that
this
was
like
a
passion
for
him
and
I
also
was
watching
a
video
from
Chris
karnuskas
from
the
University
of
Colorado
and
Boulder,
and
he's
got
a
video
that
shows
the
carbon
dioxide
levels
over
several
thousand
years
and
it's
a
40
second
video
clip
and
it
just
shows
up
down
up
down
up
down
like
the
cyclical
pattern
and
then
it
just
skyrockets.
What's
his
name,
I'll
share
it
so
that
yeah,
but
his
name
is
Chris
k-r-I-s-k-a-r-n-a-u-s-k-a-s.
A
A
It
was
sunny
and
dry
dry,
very
dry,
so
yeah
we're
experiencing
firsthand
the
effects
of
really
dramatic
climate
change
and
I
think
that
we're
in
Uncharted
Territory
indeed,
so
the
time
is
right
to
launch
the
plan
and
the
time
is
really
right
for
everyone
to
be
asking
themselves.
What
can
I
do
to
help
mitigate
this
problem?.
I
Karen,
you
have
comments.
Thank
you,
so
I
don't
want
it
to
be
too
echoey
in
here,
but
I
echo,
echo
echo
what
what
everyone
said
about
you
Robin.
It's
just
been
a
pleasure
to
get
to
know
you
to
work
with
you
very
I,
respect
you
very
much
and
onward
and
upward
for
you
I
hope
you
have
grand
Adventures
ahead
and
nothing
but
good.
Thank
you!
Yes!
Absolutely!
G
B
C
A
It
we
appreciate
it,
we
appreciate
it.
I
will
open
this
on.
Wednesday
know
that
we
wouldn't
be
where
we
are
right
now.
If
it
hadn't
been
your
guidance,
you
know,
and
we
and
everything
about
the
your
gentle
way
of
trimming
us
down
to
reality.
A
I
mean
we
were,
we
were
really
inspired
to
do
the
work,
but
we
were
we
needed
the
reality
check.
You
brought
the
reality
check,
but
you
weren't
rude
about
it.
You
were
very
gentle
and
very-
and
you
know
very
diligent
and
inspiring
us
along
the
right
lines,
appreciate
it
all
the
best
to
you
and
PT
PK.
C
I
I
mean
I
finished
my
comments.
Yes,
thank
you.
Yes,
these
are
more
somber
comments
than
the
well
wishings,
but
one
of
them
is
I
was
able
to
testify
before
Congress
today
on
to
to
share
peace
for
Tarpon
and
Tarpon
Springs
being
the
First
trauma-informed
Community
in
the
nation.
This
is
in
support
of
the
community
mental
Wellness
resilience
Act
of
2023.
That
at
on
that
for
the
house
is
part
of
the
green
New
Deal.
I
But
this
was
about
this
is
a
bipartisan
effort,
so
we
had
representative
Don
Bacon
from
Nebraska,
who
is
a
very
conservative
gentleman,
but
for
the
first,
the
first
time
I've
heard
someone
who
has
his
outlook
on
life
mentioned
climate
change
publicly,
and
he
was
talking
about.
We
need
to
do
things
for
climate
change,
so
that
was
kind
of
interesting
I'm,
not
quite
sure
what
to
make
of
that.
I
Yet
representative
Paul
tonko,
our
representative,
Kathy
Castor,
was
on
the
call
AIDS
from
many
many
many
senators
and
and
representatives
office,
and
it
was
talking
about
the
big
picture
of
climate
change.
How
that
impacts,
our
communities
and
a
community
response
to
those
and
how
that
has
to
be
part
of
the
solution?
I
So
this
is
a
it's
a
great
opportunity,
but
what
was
really
cool
was
during
the
overview
when
they
put
the
the
climate
things
in
there
like
it
did
look
like
they
copied
our
sustainability
action
plan.
I
mean
the
things
that
were
on
there
were
all
the
things
that
we
felt
were
important
and
the
things
that
had
meaning
and
so
forth.
It
was
really
cool
to
be
on
to
see,
see
ourselves
so
aligned
with
the
overview
of
this
National
Organization.
I
So
that
was
interesting.
Yeah
there
were
five
communities
that
spoke
Walla,
Walla,
Washington,
Virginia
I
think
it
was
more
like
the
state
of
Virginia
communities
within
Virginia
to
communities
in
North,
Carolina
and
then
Tarpon
Springs.
So
that's
something
there.
I
I
The
other
thing
is
Dory
in
response
to
your
request
on
August
the
1st,
a
piece
for
Tarpon
along
with
Tarpon
fire
rescue
and
Tarpon
Springs
Police
Department
is
hosting
a
fentanyl
a
community
day
for
fentanyl
awareness
at
the
library.
So
it's
the
evening
of
August
1st
from
six
to
eight
the
speaker.
His
name
is
Dan
Zito
he's
a
retired
lieutenant
from
Pinellas
County
Sheriff's
Office,
who
was
on
their
drug
enforcement
arm
of
that
of
that
Bureau
and
I
attended
a
four-hour
training
that
he
did
at
Saint,
Pete
College
epicenter,
and
it
was
just
incredible.
I
I
We've
lost
many
many
residents,
many
young
people,
especially
to
this
crisis,
and
but
we
need
to
have
a
community
response
to
that,
so
everyone
who
attends
will
be
getting
narcoland
or
narcon
Narcan,
which
is
what
how
you
keep
people
alive,
who've
overdosed,
because
that's
something
too!
That's
a
community
response
that
it
can't
just
be
wait
till
the
EMTs
show
up
and
then
they'll
administer
it
because
the
person
will
be
dead
and
it's
just
fascinating,
pertinent
information.
So
I
really
hope,
there's
a
really
good
turnout
from
our
residents.
So
thank
you.
What.
I
I
A
I'm
just
looking
at
when
okay,
so
it's
all
it's
a
Tuesday
Tuesday
night
and
or
is
it
in
the
evening
August
the
1st
from
six
to
eight
six
to
eight
okay.
A
C
Make
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
meeting
and
keep
Robin
spirit
with
us.
