A
A
So
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
two
subjects:
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
west,
tarpon
avenue
and
citizen
input
of
of
what
you
want
located
there
and
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
covid
funds,
the
arpa
funds
as
they're
known,
and
what
you
would
like
to
spend
it
on.
This
is
strictly
to
get
information
for
me
as
the
city
manager,
to
take
back
to
the
commission
and
there's
going
to
be
plenty
of
more
opportunities
for
inputs
on
both
these
subjects.
A
So
this
is
a
start.
How
we're
going
to
start
out
each
subject
is
we're
going
to
have
a
presentation,
a
short
presentation
by
staff,
then
we're
going
to
go
to
the
phone
polling
system
that
we've
tried.
So
all
you
have
your
phones,
get
them
out,
because
we're
gonna
be
ready
to
set
you
up
for
that
system.
A
We've
got
paper
copies
here,
something
happens
with
the
phone.
You
can't
get
it
your
phone
doesn't
work,
we've
got
paper
ballots
to
fill
out,
so
don't
worry
about
it
and
then,
if
you're
frustrated
with
it
all
don't
worry,
because
the
last
segment
of
each
item
is
an
old
school
town
hall,
where
you
get
up
to
the
microphone
and
and
hopefully
in
three
minutes
or
so
you
just
tell
us,
you
know
what
you
would
like
the
money
to
be
spent
on
what
you
would
like
at
the
end
of
west
tarpon
avenue.
A
So
there'll
be
plenty
of
ways
to
do
it.
So
don't
get
frustrated
as
we
do
a
test.
We've
we've
run
through
some
practice
rounds
and
it's
worked
pretty
good.
So
hopefully,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
ali
here
to
try
to
get
everybody's
phone
set
up
so
we're
ready
for
that
portion.
Let
me
turn
it
over
to
you
and
see
how
this
goes
with
the
setup.
B
B
Our
recommendation
is
to
use
the
web
address.
We
just
think
it's
a
better
user
experience
over
texting,
but
you
can
do
either
option
for
the
live
polling,
so
in
your
phones,
if
you
want
to
this,
is
how
to
get
onto
the
website
is
to
open
up
your
internet
browser.
So
your
google
chrome
safari,
whatever
browser
you
have
you're
going
to
open
that
up
and
then
the
url
search
bar,
where
you
type
in
a
web,
address
you're
going
to
type
in
pull
ev
dot
com,
backslash
kim
y
350.
B
So
it's
the
blue
and
the
top
blue
statement
then
you'll
hit
enter
and
it
should
take
you
either
to
a
screen
that
says
to
join
the
presentation
or
one
that
says
waiting
for
the
presentation
to
begin
and
that's
how
you
get
on
for
the
website
for
texting
options.
You
are
going
to
open
a
new
text
message
in
the
spot,
where
you
would
type
the
phone
number
you're
going
to
type
37607.
B
When
a
question
is
live,
it
will
automatically
appear
on
your
screen
if
you're
using
the
web
browser
if
it's
live,
you'll
be
able
to
send
a
text
message
with
the
letter
of
your
answer.
So
that
is
the
basic
way
to
get
involved,
we'll
be
getting
into
this
a
little
bit
later
in
the
presentation
and
we'll
walk
around
and
help
you
guys,
but
is
anyone
having
any
issues
right
now.
B
B
B
A
That's
very
important,
so
your
friends,
people,
you
know
who
are
not
here.
You
know
we
need
their
opinions
too,
so
so
bring
that
information
to
them
tell
them
to
get
on
like
she
said
it's
going
to
be
up
till
tuesday,
again
the
more
information
that
we
have
for
the
city
commission
as
they
reach
these
decisions
in
the
future
again
there'll
be
plenty
more
chances
for
citizens
input.
So
this
is
just
the
beginning.
A
So
we'll
we'll
start
right
out.
I
guess
with
our
with
our
first
item
and
the
first
subject:
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
west
tarpon
avenue
most
you
I'm
sure.
If
you're
here
know
the
story
of
the
sun
bay
motel,
the
city
taking
control
of
it
leveling
it
and
you
all
see
at
the
end
of
of
tarpon
avenue
of
the
land
that
we
have
there.
A
So
karen
lemons.
I
want
her
to
start
off
with
the
presentation
of
where
we
are
so
far
and
some
things
we've
done
and
some
ideas
we've
got.
There
is
no
predisposed
city
position
on
what
is
going
to
be
there
at
this
time.
That's
why
we're
looking
for
input
so
I'll
have
karen
start
and
then
we'll
get
into
the
first
phase,
with
the
questioning.
C
Okay
mark
already
gave
a
little
bit
of
a
background,
but
I
wanted
to
start
by
giving
some
background
on
how
the
city
acquired
the
property
in
the
first
place.
It's
it's
a
little
over
half
an
acre
in
2018,
the
city
purchased
the
sunbae
motel
through
the
cra,
our
community
redevelopment
agency,
and
we
demolished
the
motel
and
then
shortly
after
that,
we
leased
the
adjacent
property.
C
That's
the
sun
bay,
and
this
is
the
rest
of
the
land
we
leased
that
that
contains
a
500
square
foot.
Building
we
wanted
to
do.
We
wanted
to
be
a
little
forthright
in
controlling
anything
that
would
or
wouldn't
go
on
that
property,
so
that
building
was
being
used
as
a
satellite
office
for
the
police
department,
economic
development
and
planning
and
then
in
november
of
2020.
C
So
when
the
city
acquired
the
sun
bay
property
and
demolished
it,
we
started
doing
our
community
engagement,
asking
people
what
they'd
like
to
see
there.
We
received
a
grant
from
forward
pinellas
to
do
a
highest
and
best
use
analysis,
and
what
that
would
look
at
is
specifically
data
driven
on
what
would
be
the
the
best
use
for
the
property.
C
C
C
We
did
two
ways
of
of
engaging
that
we
did
a
quick
poll
and
an
ideas
board.
The
ideas
board
was
open-ended,
you
could
go
in
and
just
type
in.
This
is
what
I'd
like
to
see
there.
You
could
upload
photographs
or
pictures
and
then
the
quick
poll.
We
took
five
categories
and
it
was
just
a
simple
one
question:
what
would
you
like
to
see
and
as
you
can
see,
from
the
results
about
60
percent
wanted
park
and
open
space,
17
retail
restaurant
11,
lodging
10,
civic
and
just
under
2
residential.
C
C
You
know,
think
that
what
we
did
is
I
took
the
the
main
ideas
from
the
ideas
board.
You
can
go
on
the
connect,
tarpon
springs
website
and
see
each
of
them
in
more
detail,
but
the
ideas
range
from
a
boutique
hotel
to
a
natural
park,
meaning
a
passive
park
where
there
would
be
landscaping
and
benches,
but
not
a
lot
of
activity.
C
C
C
Something
of
you
would
have
public
art,
as
maybe
a
main
sculpture,
some
native
plantings,
interpretive
signage,
where
they
would
explain
what
those
plantings
are
a
museum.
A
couple
ideas
where
museums,
whether
it's
history
of
the
city
or
an
epiphany
museum
since
epiphany,
is
held
right
there,
a
wedding
venue,
a
community
garden,
a
community
youth
center,
a
parking
lot
and
then
a
skate
park.
C
C
B
B
Okay,
if
that
changes,
just
let
us
know
and
we'll
pass
one
out
or
help
you
with
any
issues.
As
far
as
the
format
is
going
to
go,
I'm
going
to
show
a
slide.
That
has
the
question
and
the
answers,
and
then
once
we
read
that
out,
I
will
put
up
a
slide
that
goes
live
and
then
you'll
be
able
to
vote
on
the
website
again.
The
screen
should
automatically
update
for
texting
once
it's
live,
you'll
be
able
to
send
in
your
answer.
B
You
can
only
submit
one
answer,
but
you
do
have
the
opportunity
to
change
your
answer.
If
you
would
like
to
do
that,
and
you
can
do
that
either
through
texting
and
or
on
the
website,
all
right
and
again
for
anyone
watching
at
home,
these
survey
questions
will
be
available
after
tonight's
meeting
and
available
until
tuesday
next
week,
which
is
the
22nd.
B
B
B
You
guys
are
experts,
good
job.
All
right
looks
like
the
spongers
took
it
home.
Good
job
support
the
local.
All
right,
we're
gonna
go
into
the
questions.
Now
again,
this
will
be
just
a
question
I'll.
Let
you
know
when
the
question
is,
live
all
right.
What
is
your
top
choice
for
this
property?
And
just
so
you
know
you
will
be
asked
for
your
second
choice.
So
right
now
we're
looking
for
your
your
top
choice.
B
A
is
development,
so
it's
residential,
commercial,
mixed
use
or
a
boutique
hotel
b
is
a
public
park
active
or
passive
c
civic
space
include
gazebo
public
art
of
monuments,
fountain,
civic
building
or
museum
d
is
move.
The
safford
house
and
e
is
none
of
the
above
all
right
all
right.
The
question
is
live.
It
should
automatically
refresh
yep.
You
may
have
to
kind
of
pull
your
screen
down
to
refresh
it.
Yes,.
B
So
we
put
some
of
the
examples
up
there
that
were,
you
know,
has
some
something
on
the
site,
so
it
could
be
a
museum,
it
could
be
a
civic
building.
It
could
also
just
be
monuments
or
statues.
Things
like
that
a
park
is
more
so
going
to
be
you
know,
recreation
based
and
or
like
we
talked
for
a
more
active
like
an
event
space.
A
B
All
right,
okay,
I
think
we'll
go
ahead
and
close
this
one.
Oh
there's,
no
movement,
all
right,
we're
gonna
close
this
one,
okay!
So
now
we
would
like
to
know
which
would
be
your
second
choice
for
this
property:
the
same
answers
as
a
development
b,
public
park
c,
civic
space
d,
move
the
safford
house
and
e
none
of
the
above,
and
the
question
is
now
live.
B
All
right,
you
guys,
are
pros.
This
has
been
the
easiest
run
of
this
yet
okay,
question:
five:
if
this
property
was
to
be
a
civic
space,
which
type
would
be
your
preferred
choice-
and
this
is
other
than
just
landscaping,
so
a
gazebo
b,
public
art
or
monuments,
c,
fountain
d,
small
museum
or
other
civic
building
or
e,
none
of
the
above.
B
B
A
Ali
I
want
to
thank
y'all.
I
want
to
thank
planting
this.
We
had
about
this
meeting
I
think
was
going
to
be
in
in
january,
and
we
needed
some
time
because
we
just
had
to
get
the
technology
in.
We
had
to
work
on
it.
We
had
several
practice
sessions
in
here
and
there's
a
lot
of
hard
work
getting
to
this
again.
This
is
our
first
try
we're
gonna
refine
this.
There
are
more
things
you
can
do
with
this
technology,
more
advanced
things.
This
is
kind
of
rudimentary.
A
B
F
B
Sure,
okay,
so
yes
again
anyone
that
might
be
watching
at
home.
We
suggest
watching
the
entire
presentation
the
live
survey.
Well,
the
survey
will
be
available
until
tuesday
next
week
it
will
be
available
to
get
onto
it
at
home
once
this
meeting
is
concluded
so
and
there's
contact
information
in
the
description,
if
you're
watching
on
youtube,
there's
a
link
to
get
to
the
survey
and
then
there's
contact
information.
If
you
have
any
issues
so
there
you
go
now.
A
So
whether
it
was
on
the
questions
or
not
on
the
questions,
input
from
the
public
for
the
commission
on
on
this
area
and
what
should
be
done
with
it,
come
to
the
mic
and
again
we're
not
timing.
It
like
a
commission
being
because
this
is
a
town
hall,
come
up,
give
your
comments
and
we'll
take
note
of
it.
G
Good
evening
I'm
cindy
terrapani,
I
live
at
22
north
spring
boulevard
within
about
150
feet
of
the
site.
First,
just
like
to
say
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
doing
this.
It's
really
unusual.
It's
a
great
idea,
I
think,
to
you
know,
get
public
input
in
in
a
different
way
in
a
good
way,
and
so
I
applaud
you
guys
for
doing
that,
and
I
think
it's
great
that
you're
going
to
have
it
on
the
city's
website
too.
G
G
I
don't
seem
like
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
support,
at
least
the
folks
here
tonight
about
having
a
private
development
on
the
site.
I
think
we
really
need
to
be
careful
about
that.
We've
used
cra
public
money
to
purchase
these
two
properties
and
to
then
allow
that
to
benefit
a
private
citizen.
A
private
developer,
I
think,
is
fraught
with
all
sorts
of
conflict
issues
and
problems
number
three.
When
the
ford
pinellas,
I
forget
the
name
of
the
group
that
ford
pinellas
hired
to
the
city
hired
to
do
that
economic
analysis.
G
It
was
pretty
clear
from
their
analysis
that
a
commercial
development
and
mixed
use-
development
that
was
analyzed,
is
not
going
to
be
financially
viable
due
to
the
size
of
the
the
size
of
the
property,
constrains
how
much
you
can
put
on
the
site
and
the
amount
of
development
you
could
put
on
the
site
versus
whether
it
is
financially
successful.
It
just
didn't
make
it
so
that's
I
think
another
thing
we
don't
want
to
have
a
failed
property
sitting
right
there
on
the
bayou
to
create
a
problem.
G
It
also
stabilizes
property
values,
nearby,
the
the
actual
park
itself
and-
and
it
provides,
as
I
said,
there's
some
other
economic
benefits.
I
can't
remember
all
the
reasons,
but
I'll
I'll
pull
that
out
and
send
that
but
they're
a
park
system,
although
or
a
park
development
on
the
site,
whether
it's
passive
or
active,
like
we
talked
about
tonight,
has
the
potential
to
have
a
very
positive
impact
on
the
community.
So
I
think
we
ought
to.
We
need
to
include
that
as
part
of
the
analysis.
Thank
you
so
much.
H
Lucian
robinson,
I
agree
primarily
with
with
what
cindy
commented.
I
would
also
like
to
add
that
we
have
so
many
properties
in
town
that
are
ripe
for
redevelopment
that
are
sitting
idle
vacant,
that
I
would
hate
to
see.
This
really
important,
centrally
placed
property
developed.
I
like
the
park
park,
idea
the
civic
space.
H
This
could
be
a
real
place
of
respite
among
the
development
of
downtown
and
the
surrounding
hardscapes
and
streets
and
parking
lots.
This
could
be
a
real
public
square.
We
could
honor
our
native
plant
heritage.
We
could
have
a
crackerjack
piece
of
public
art
that
would
be
a
gathering
place,
a
drawing
card
and
generally
a
place
of
celebration.
D
D
So
once
there's
a
building
on
it,
then
that's
it.
There's!
No
there's
no
other
decisions
being
made.
So
we
keep
it
open.
It
surely
can
be
a
place.
That'll
enhance,
enhance
the
area
and
as
well
as
the
community
in
in
that
area,
especially
the
people
who
live
close
by.
I
live
a
half
a
block
away
as
well.
F
F
It
is
the
highlight
of
our
community
with
all
our
big
homes
and
the
reason
I
ask
that
the
saffron
house
be
moved
there,
because
it's
not
being
utilized
and
it's
like
a
museum
for
the
community.
People
don't
get
to
see
what
happened
there,
who
the
people
that
made
tarpon
live
there
to
move.
The
safford
house
would
be
the
corsage
on
the
golden
crescent
of
our
historic
homes
and
our
historic
preservation
in
the
area.
F
I
also
gave
you
ideas
of
what
can
be
done
there.
We
have
many
weddings
there
on
the
bayou.
It
can
be
rented
out
as
a
wedding
reception
venue.
I
gave
you
names
of
restaurants
that
were
interested
in
putting
in
bids
on
food
and
refreshments.
We
can
use
it
for
the
women's
club,
the
garden
club,
the
bridge
club,
all
the
clubs
and
entertainment
groups
that
we
have
here
in
tarpon,
and
we
can
also
put
your
art
in
the
yard
there.
When
it's
done
with
the
characteristic
of
the
safford
house,
we
shouldn't
lose
our
historic.
F

Good
evening
donnelly
vetti,
kyodis,
538
west
cedar
street.
Thank
you
very
much
city
manager
for
having
this
opportunity
for
public
input.
I
would
like
to
commend
what
mrs
proto
said
and
I'd
like
to
support
what
she
said.
I
was
a
docent
at
the
safford
house
for
over
two
years
and
I
can
tell
you
that
it
is
terribly
underutilized.
It
is
a
beautiful
building.
It
has
tremendous
historic
value.
I
understand
there's
a
cost
involved
in
possibly
moving
it,
but
it
is
a
gem.
It
really
really
is.
I
gave
tours
and
I'd
have
to
tell
you.
J
K
Hi,
craig
lunt
743
chesapeake
again
I'd
like
to
echo
the
thanks
for
having
this
meeting.
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
of
this
in
the
community.
I
think
we're
tending
to
silo
some
of
the
responses,
though
I
think
it
could
be
a
combination
area.
I've
talked
to,
I
don't
know
many
people
in
the
community.
L
K
K
M
I
can't
support
moving
the
stafford
house.
Most
of
you
would
have
to
realize.
It'd
have
to
be
cut,
have
to
be
cut
apart
and
move
from
that
area
would
be
hard
to
me
and
I've
been
to
the
stafford
house,
it's
beautiful
historic.
I
know
a
number
of
years
ago
we
put
together
a
walking
tour
map
of
all
the
historic
areas,
so
the
safford
house
is
only
maybe
three
blocks
from
the
property
we're
talking
about.
M
I
hate
to
say
it
compare
it,
but
look
at
dunedin
where
they
did
with
their
edgewater
park,
downtown
on
douglas
and
main
street.
It's
huge
open
space
and
up
on
the
east
side,
they
have
kind
of
like
a
stage
set
up
area,
provides
for
weddings
events,
things
proms.
How
many
times
you
drive
by
and
all
the
kids
are
hanging
around
down
by
the
steps
and
all
that
kind
of,
let's
say,
maybe
a
safety
issue.
So
you
provide
an
area
we
already
redid
center
street
to
redo
the
parking.
M
M
M
How
many
people
we
see
now
hanging
around
the
bayou
want
to
see.
Manatees
we've
got
north
ankle
river
park,
that's
kind
of
neglected
out
there,
but
it's
beautiful.
You
can
walk
through
trails.
There's
some
eagles
nests
up
on
the
power
poles
anderson
park
howard
park
brooker
park.
All
these
parks
we're
a
water
system.
We
don't
market
ourselves
to
these
advantages
we
have
and
so
to
me.
Maybe
we
need
to
look
at
how
we
compositely
put
all
these
things
together,
but
as
far
as
this
property,
I
think
I've
shared
my
thoughts
on
that.
E
M
N
N
It's
going
to
be
an
override
of
any
cost
that
we
put
up
there,
but
I
do
have
a
better
idea
or
an
idea.
I
think
that
would
work,
I'm
an
archaeologist
and
an
astrophysicist.
I
worked
in
tarpon
springs
for
30
years.
To
me,
sarkon
tarpon
springs
is
my
dig
as
an
archaeologist
about
20
years
ago.
I
realized
that
tarpon
springs
had
all
the
characteristics
in
greek
mythology
to
match
up
with
the
hess
paradise
garden.
N
So
the
whole
world
would
benefit
if
we
had
a
stolen
circle
there,
and
they
would
benefit
by
the
knowledge
that
it's
true
that
atlantis
did
exist
along
the
west
coast
of
florida.
Some
of
the
stones
I
find
are
broken
in
half
the
stone
might
be
near
the
beach
and
then
you
might
find
the
other
half
of
the
stone
six
to
eight
miles
inland.
So
a
great
flood
hit
the
west
coast
of
florida
and
went
over
the
whole
state
of
florida
took
out
all
the
plants
on
the
landscape.
N
N
N
A
O
O
It
is
totally
underutilized
as
miss
protis
and
miss
mrs
vada
kyota
said
and
they'd
say
you
could
have
the
venues
that
you
could
have
there
for
the
epiphany
celebration.
You
could
actually
that
thing
would
be
rented
out.
No,
no
problem.
I
think
this
like.
I
said
this
is
a
once-in-a-life
opportunity.
Thank
you.
A
Do
we
have
anybody
else
who
wants
to
speak
on
this
issue?
It
seems
a
little
formal
in
the
other
town
hall
meetings.
Where
I
go,
I
think
the
last
one
we
did
was
at
the
sponge
docks.
It
was
probably
one
of
the
best
town
hall
meetings.
We've
had
I've
had
many
of
the
sponge
docs
and
they're
sometimes
volatile,
but
this
was
a
great
town
hall
meeting
that
we
had
there.
A
We
were
ready
to
have
one
at
for
the
commissioners
and
then
covet
hit,
so
I'm
glad
as
hopefully
coveted
will
let
up
and
get
us
back
to
this
thing
that
we
can
not
only
hold.
You
know
more
like
this,
but
also
go
to
the
areas,
the
downtown,
the
docks
we
love
going
to
different
neighborhoods
and
and
doing
these
things,
because
I
think
we
really
lost
a
lot
of
that
during
coving.
So
anybody
else
on
this
on
this
topic
want
to
come
up
and
speak.
F
F
F
We
came
to
the
commission
had
to
fight
herb
elliott,
our
attorney
on
buying
the
house.
You
remember
and
finally
got
it
passed
and
I
forgot
the
amount,
but
it
was
a
very
insignificant
amount.
He
wanted
to
get
it
off
his
hands
and
mr
manus
and
I
brought
it
forth
two
or
three
times
and
the
commission
finally
said
told
her.
We
were
going
to
buy
it.
F
F
We
found
the
period
mr
penny
went
and
searched
for
the
period
time
of
furniture
that
is
in
the
stafford
house
now
that
they
had
during
that
time,
it's
a
beautiful
house.
It's
our
historic
number
one
house
in
tarpon,
like
the
white
house
in
washington.
We
should
not
destroy
it.
We
should
not
give
it
up.
It
belongs
on
the
golden
crescent.
F
F
We
don't
need
a
business
there.
We
did
not
allow
attorneys
to
put
their
law
offices
on
the
bayou
in
their
big
homes.
We
did
not
let
the
young
doctor
and
his
family
have
their
medical
office
in
that
house.
The
only
medical
office
was
dr
clough
and
that
he
was
a
historic
doctor
here
in
tarpon
springs
many
many
years
ago,
and
we
don't
need
businesses
there
on
the
golden
crescent.
F
That's
not
what
it's
about.
We
don't
need
a
restaurant.
We
don't
need
an
ice
cream
shop.
We
don't
need
a
soda
fountain
shop.
It's
too
close
to
our
historic
homes
that
we
value
very,
very
much
and
people
don't
understand
who
have
just
come
here
and,
I'm
sorry
to
say
this.
The
value
of
our
historic
district,
the
value
of
the
history
of
tarpon,
springs
the
value
of
the
staffords.
This.
A
F
Well,
it's
true
you've
got
to
understand
if
we
miss
this
opportunity
to
finish
putting
this
house
to
make
the
final
presage
on
the
golden
crescent.
We'll
never
regret
great,
we'll,
never
get
it
again.
We've
had
movers
look
at
it.
Yes,
it
has
to
be
cut,
but
they
cut
all
the
old
houses
that
they
move
and
they're
put
back
together
to.
A
Again,
we
didn't
want
to
have
a
we
didn't
want
to
have
a
follow-up
for
we,
I
didn't
know
it
was
going
to
be
rebuttal,
followed
we're
not
going
to
you
know
we're
not
going
to
do
this.
This
is
a
relaxed
meeting.
This
isn't
a
city
commission
meeting,
so
we're
not
going
to
have
all
this
back
and
forth.
So
if
we're
going
we're
going
to
be
john.
A
A
This
is
about
a
dynamic
that
when
this
first
came
out
that
the
cities
were
going
to
get
the
monies
all
of
us
city
managers
got
together
because
there
was
one
problem
with
it.
They
didn't
give
us.
The
government
didn't
give
us
the
criteria
for
the
money
and
we
waited
and
we
waited
and
little
bits
and
pieces
came
out.
A
You
can
use
for
the
things
that
weren't
on
the
list,
those
very
straight
like
infrastructure,
some
very,
very
different
things.
It
changed
the
it
changed
from
overnight
at
the
final
minute.
It
changed
to
be
able
to
use,
for
instance,
roads
couldn't
be
done
in
the
original
one
to
be
done.
Road
sidewalks
that
sort
of
thing,
but
it
opened
up.
So
it's
very
tough
to
do
questions
on
this
one.
A
When
we
come
to
the
question
portion
because
it
went
for
some
some
very
strict
requirements
that
we
were
going
to
ask
the
public
for
to
now
expand
it
into
a
lot
of
areas
where
were
very
few
exceptions,
and-
and
our
finance
director
will
talk
about
him
in
a
short
presentation
that
the
money
can
be
used
for
what
the
community
thinks
it's
most
needed
and
that
wasn't
very
important
for
smaller
cities
like
us.
So
let
me
go
into
the
presentation.
I
I
It
was
a
bill
signed
on
march
11
2021.
It
was
established
to
fight
the
pandemic
and
support
families
and
businesses
maintain
vital
public
services,
build
a
strong,
resilient
and
equitable
recovery.
The
city
of
tarpon
springs
is
to
receive
12.8
million.
We
received
the
first
payment
of
6.4
million
on
september
15
2021..
I
The
second
payment
is
supposed
to
come
one
year
later,
so
we're
estimating
it
should
be
right.
Around
september,
15
2022.,
there's
four
categories
of
eligible
uses:
there's
public
health,
emergency
and
negative
economic
impacts.
There's
premium
pay
revenue,
loss
and
investments
in
infrastructure
and
to
go
over
the
four
categories
in
just
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
the
number
one:
the
public,
health,
emergency
and
negative
economic
impacts
for
assistance
to
include
public
health
assistance
to
households,
assistance
to
small
businesses,
assistance
to
nonprofits
and
aid
to
impacted
industries.
I
I
The
third
category
eligible
use
was
the
revenue
loss.
Now,
as
the
city
manager
is
saying,
we
can
use
up
to
10
million
of
the
tradition
for
any
traditional
government
service,
some
of
which
include
you
know:
public
safety,
police,
fire
and
other
public
safety,
services,
parks,
recreation
and
cultural,
cultural
services,
roads,
streets,
sidewalks,
city,
buildings,
citizen
services
and
environmental
sustainability
issues,
and
the
fourth
and
last
category
was
investments
in
infrastructure
which
include
water
infrastructure,
sewer
infrastructure,
storm
water
infrastructure
and
broadband
infrastructure,
and
some
limited
restrictions
on
the
use.
I
I
The
timeline
for
the
use
of
the
funds
cost
must
be
obligated
by
december
31st.
2024.
All
costs
must
be
expended
by
december
31st,
2026
funds
approved
to
date.
The
board
of
commissioners
has
approved
of
the
use
of
1.1
million
of
the
american
rescue
plan
funds,
that's
leaving
11.7
million
to
still
be
allocated
and
with
that
I'll
give
it
back
to
ali.
On
the
poll
question.
B
Okay,
all
right
again
same
instructions.
You
should
be
able
to
open
up
your
phones
again
and
get
back
onto
the
website
and
it
will
refresh
again
once
I
make
another
question
live.
You
might
still
be
seeing
the
old
question,
but
it
will
switch
over
again
watching
at
home.
These
will
be
available
at
the
conclusion
of
this
meeting,
we'll
reformat
it
so
that
you'll
be
able
to
take
it
at
a
later
time,
it'll
be
open
until
tuesday
february
22nd,
which
is
next
tuesday,
all
right.
B
Anyone
having
issues
at
this
time
getting
on
the
live
polling
all
right
go
to
the
next
question.
Okay,
question:
one:
what
eligible
use
of
the
arpa
funds
is
most
important
to
you:
a
public
health
emergency
and
negative
economic
impacts
b
premium
pay
for
eligible
workers,
c
revenue,
loss
for
traditional
government
services
and
d
investments
in
infrastructure.
B
B
B
B
B
Okay,
go
on
to
the
next
question
all
right
now,
which
area
would
be
your
second
choice
to
spend
funds
on
if
used
for
the
public
health,
emergency
and
negative
economic
impacts.
These
your
same
answers,
but
a
public
health
and
or
public
health
facilities,
b,
assistance
to
households,
c,
assistance
of
small
businesses,
d
assistance
and
nonprofits
or
e
aid
to
impacted
industries.
B
B
Okay,
let
me
go
into
the
next
question:
question
five
and
again
this
will
you'll
be
asked
your
first
choice
and
your
second
choice.
So
the
first
question
is:
if
the
funds
are
used
on
revenue
loss
for
traditional
government
services,
which
area
would
be
your
first
choice
to
spend
them
on
a
public
safety
b
parks,
recreation
and
cultural
services,
c
roads,
streets,
sidewalks,
d,
city,
buildings,
e
citizen
services
or
f,
environmental
or
sustainability
issues.
B
Okay,
let
me
go
to
the
next
question
all
right
now,
which
area
would
be
your
second
choice
to
spend
the
funds
on
if
used,
for
revenue
loss
for
traditional
government
services.
Again,
these
are
the
same
answers:
a
public
safety
b
parks,
recreation
and
cultural
services,
sea
roads,
streets
and
sidewalks
d,
city,
buildings,
e-citizen
services
and
f,
environmental
or
sustainability
issues,
and
this
is
now
live.
B
B
Next
question:
for
the
specific
area
of
sustainability,
which
area
would
be
your
first
choice
to
spend
the
funds
on
a
solar
and
renewable
energy
projects
b?
Shoreline
protection,
which
includes
sea
wall
improvements
in
living,
shorelines
c,
community
service
hubs
or
centers
d,
conversion
of
septic
to
sewer
projects
or
e
inventory
or
planning
for
urban
tree
canopy
and
environmental
improvement
projects.
F
B
Okay,
I
believe
that
concludes
these
questions
for
the
live
poll.
So
you
so
you're
done
tonight
with
your
phone,
so
you
can
put
them
away
again.
Anyone
that's
watching
at
home.
Once
this
meeting
is
concluded,
we
will
make
it
available
for
you
to
take
at
home
at
a
later
date,
until
tuesday
february
22nd,
and
with
that
I'll
pass
it
back
stay.
A
Up
stay
up
there,
allie,
because
I
want
I
want
to
just
do
one
more
thing
I
want
to
let
before
we
go
to
the
traditional
town
hall
and
hear
you,
I
want
to
tell
you
where
what
we've
done
so
far.
First
of
all,
our
staff
got
together
and
did
a
list
of
projects
that
we
thought
were
priorities,
and
I
can
tell
you
now
that
we're
in
the
process
of
revising
them,
because
those
priorities
were
done
when
we
thought
we
were
going
to
have
the
original
rigid
rules
for
the
arpa
money.
A
So
we
will
be
providing
to
the
city
commission
some
revised
recommendations
from
a
staff
level,
our
first
step
with
getting
citizen
engaged.
I
want
ali
to
talk
about
it
because
we're
probably
going
to
open
it
up
again
with
some
new
information
and
stuff
talked
about
connect
tarpon
and
what
we
first
did
for
the
public
to
try
to
get
some
public
engagement
on
these
arpa
funds.
Let
them
know
about
that,
and
so
they
can
be
watching
for
that
to
maybe
come
out
again,
as
we
gather
all
this
information
sure.
B
So,
on
the
connect,
tarpon
springs
engagement
platform.
We
do
have
a
page
for
the
arpa
funds
project,
it's
available
on
the
home
page,
where
you
can
find
the
project.
We'll
also
have
the
link
available
online,
so
you
can
access
it
easily.
We
initially
put
the
information
up.
That
includes
the
list
that
mark
just
described
about
the
initial
priorities
from
staff,
and
we
asked
people
to
provide
their
ideas.
B
It
was
an
open-ended
ideas
board
where
they
could
post
what
they
think
the
funds
should
or
who
and
what
they
think
the
funds
should
be
used
for
so
right
now
the
ideas
board
is
still
live.
It's
still
up
there,
so
you
can
provide
those
open-ended
answers,
but
as
we
go
through
this
process
and
if
we
want
more
public
engagement
through
that
site,
we'll
update
it
with
the
engagement
tools,
if
you
register
on
the
site
and
also
follow
that
project
and
or
just
register
you'll
receive
a
newsletter
through
email
that
just
lets.
A
Thank
you
guys
really
want
to
tout
that
we've
we've
got
name
some
of
the
other
things
we
have
up
there,
that
we've
asked
for
engage.
This
is
going
to
be
very
important,
the
future,
if
all
the
people
who
like
to
use
social,
media,
facebook
and
stuff,
you
tell
them
to
please
put
their
attention
to
this.
Also,
this
is
going
to
be
a
major
avenue
for
the
public
to
get
information
to
us
about
what
you
want.
Tell
them.
Some
of
the
other
subjects
that
you've
had
up
there.
B
So
we
have
a
lot
of
our
major
projects
and
initiatives
up
there
right
now.
So
our
comprehensive
plan
update,
we
have
a
page
for
that.
The
strategic
plan
process
there's
a
page.
We
have
actually
the
spring
bio
west
dartmouth
property
that
we
talked
about
earlier
today.
That
has
a
page
on
there
as
well.
B
A
lot
of
the
sites
have
engagement
tools,
so
it
might
be
an
initial
survey,
a
quick
pull
something
to
get
some
sort
of
feedback
and
input
as
these
projects
develop
we're
adding
more
engagement
tools,
maybe
more
in-depth
surveys
for
people
to
participate.
In
some
pages
we
created
for
projects
that
have
interest
so
manatee
village,
for
example,
was
one
that
we
put
up
there
as
a
developer-led
project,
but
the
developer
was
interested
to
see
what
the
city
and
community
wanted
to
see
in
that
shopping
plaza.
So
we
I
think
we
got
over.
B
I
want
to
say
120
ideas
submitted
for
that,
so
it's
been
a
really
good
tool.
Not
every
engagement
tool
or
survey
requires
you
to
register
on
the
site,
but
the
benefit
to
registering
is
that
when
we
do
have
new
projects
or
tools
for
you
to
participate
in,
we
send
out
a
newsletter.
So
you
get
an
email
that
lets
you
know
hey.
The
conference
of
plan
now
has
a
live
survey
or
we
have
an
upcoming
public
engagement
site
for
the
comprehensive
plan.
So
that's
the
benefit
of
registering
online.
B
A
P
Hi
joanne
rich
one,
zero,
zero
lake
avoca
place
tarpon.
First,
thank
you
for
having
a
town
hall.
I
was
in
a
meeting
this
morning
with
several
people
who
said
you
know
they
wish
there
were
more
of
these
and
they
couldn't
be
here
tonight,
but
they
were
hoping
that
there
would
be
others
one
of
the
persons
I
talked
to.
We
were
talking
about
how
great
the
new
website
is
for
input,
but
the
marketing
for
that
we
were
thinking.
P
You
know
you
all
put
around
the
city,
the
marquees,
and
there
could
be
a
marquee
few
days
where
you're
announcing
that
website,
or
also
at
first
friday,
or
something
trying
or
in
the
apartment
context
of
apartment
complex.
The
concern
has
been
that
the
lower
income
residents
of
tarpon
springs
are
not
getting
their
voices
heard
at
some
of
these
community
level
decisions
and
how
we
can
get
more
people's
voices
heard
is
really
important.
P
N
P
Any
of
the
options
tonight
I
understand
that
there's
been
some
talk
with
a
new
building
for
them,
possibly
over
towards
the
mirrors
extension
behind
where
the
school
buses
are
parked
and
if,
if
that
is
true
and
that's
in
the
wa
works,
I
just
think
it's
really
important
that
we
do
something
for
the
children
of
the
community.
So
thank
you
and.
F
F
A
Q
Q
I'm
sorry,
hi,
I'm
carol
rodriguez,
I'm
with
the
tarpon
springs
merchants
association.
The
merchants
would
like
to
see
a
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
advertising
budget,
so
we
could
do
billboards
and
the
tampa
airport,
radio
and
tv
ads
for
tarpon
springs.
We
would
also
like
to
see
tarpon
avenue
have
more
lights,
more
electrical
outlets,
for
when
we
do
do
functions
our
first
fridays
that
we
have
better
power
along
that
area,
also
on
safford
and
hibiscus.
Q
We
would
also
like
to
see
the
build.
The
land
between
acropolis
meat
market
and
court
of
two
sisters
turned
into
the
event
area,
which
we,
the
city,
has
allowed
us
to
use
that
for
our
first
fridays
we
would
like
to
see
more
parking,
there's
a
lot
next
to
ours
that
could
be
purchased,
there's
a
lot
on
gross
and
tarpon
avenue
that
could
be
purchased.
Q
O
O
Bayshore
sewer,
we
have
been
on
septic,
for
I
mean
just
forever
and
when
you've
actually
had
brown
water
come
into
your
come
into
your
tubs,
it's
it's
very
concerning
like
it
stopped
off
right
at
the
anita's
house
in
the
andropoulos
house,
with
a
new
neighborhood
that
was
down
on
west
bay
shore,
and
then
they
went
straight
to
sea
breeze.
I
would
love
to
redo
my
house
and
actually
be
on
like
then
actually
be
on
the
sewer
I
think
in
all
of
our
residents.
O
Have
we
have
some
of
the
beautiful,
like
most
beautiful
property
I
feel
like
in
tarpon
and
we're
still
I
mean
we
still
have.
We
still
have
septic
and
I
would
like
that's
what
I
think
would
be
best
and
you
actually
had
at
the
boc
meeting.
I
saw
that
your
staff
had
it
first
on
the
list
and
I
think
they
were
right.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
and
we
will
probably
be
bringing
that
back
a
week
from
today,
tuesday
we'll
be
probably
bringing
the
two
items
back,
that
they
paused
the
city
commission
paused,
to
hear
some
more
citizen
input
before
they
decided
the
money
so
you'll
probably
watch
the
agenda.
It'll
probably
be
on
tuesday
night.
Those
two
issues
that
we
are
asked
to
wait
on
so
watch
for
that
agenda
to
come
out.
R
Like
actual
you
know,
biological
environmental
impacts
that
are
going
on
here,
a
lot
of
residents
that
are
faced
with
either
the
need
to
upgrade
their
their
septic
tanks
or
doing
construction
where
it's
going
to
be
a
necessity,
they're
going
to
get
pushed
back
from
from
the
health
department,
you
know
not
being
allowed
to
install
new
septic
tanks
that
close
to
the
to
the
river
and
everything.
So
it's
putting
a
lot
of
resonance
there
in
a
catch
22
situation.
K
K
We
need
to
highlight
it
right
on
our
city
page,
make
sure
that
our
citizens
know
when
it's
there.
So
when
they
go
to
cts
florida,
they
find
connect,
tarpon
springs,
even
if
it's
only
a
corner
of
you
know
of
this,
the
screen
or
whatever,
so
they
can
click
on
it
right
away.
It's
not
good
enough
to
go
to
projects
and
then
have
to
page
over
to
connect.
Tarpon
springs.
It's
just
not
doing
a
good
job.
Thanks.
Thank.
A
S
Hi,
sherry
wendt,
I'm
a
resident
in
and
tarpon,
and
I'm
on
the
tarpon
springs
merchants
association
board.
I
have
two
totally
unrelated
items,
but
one
for
the
for
the
ideas
for
advertising
which
we've
been
trying
to
promote
to
get
more
advertising,
so
we
can
up
further
our
events.
Further
tarpon
springs
being
well
known
and
people
will
come
here
and
shop
and
and
visit.
S
They
could
take
a
card,
they
could
take
a
map
and
then
find
the
stores-
and
I
think
it's
dunedin-
that
has
a
walking
map
where
you
actually
see
the
stores,
it's
really
very
popular.
So
I
was
going
to
promote
that.
We
actually
do
more
to
get
people
involved
in
actually
finding
things
and
knowing
where
our
splash
park
is
and
seeing
it
on
a
really
pretty
map,
something
totally
not
related
to
the
our
merchants
association.
But
I
know
that
these
sept,
the
sewer
lines,
are
part
of.
C
S
All
the
sewer
lines
are
really
old,
and
I
was
so
when
we
have
a
big
event
and
and
everybody's
using
the
restaurant
and
going
into
the
restaurant.
Our
our
sewer
lines
are
so
bad
that
it
will
back
up
into
those
restaurants
and
that's
happening
a
lot,
but
nobody
actually
realizes
it.
Even
the
even
one
of
our
stores
downtown
just
recently
had
a
problem,
and
it's
just
a
small
little
area
where
people
are
coming
in
to
to
have
wine
and
sit
down.
S
It's
really
a
problem,
that's
kind
of
a
silent
problem.
If
you
weren't
a
merchant-
and
you
didn't-
and
you
didn't
own
something
in
in
our
business-
that
actually
because
I've
actually
seen
the
city
come
in
and
camera
the
lines
and
they're
all
full
of
holes
and
tree
limbs,
and
if
we
don't
do
something
it
may
not
be
in
our
lifetime,
but
that's
an
opportunity
with
this
money.
That
is
extra
that
we
could
actually
fix
some
of
this.
S
L
L
L
The
people
that
are
not
here
are
more
affected
than
the
ones
that
are
here
and
how
I
mean
that
is,
there
are
people
that
cannot
find
houses
rentals.
They
will
be
soon
out
on
the
street
as
I'm
going
around
knocking
on
doors.
I
see
the
condition
of
some
people's
homes,
and
all
I
can
tell
you
is:
there's
been
a
lot
of
people
that
have
suffered
much
more.
L
If
we
can
set
aside
some
of
the
money
to
see
how
we
can
help
them
out
whether
that
means
their
roof,
that's
caving
in
and
it's
going
to
cause
mold
mildew
and
everything
else
for
them
to
live
in
hazardous
areas
or
whether
they
can't
pay
an
electric
bill,
because
they've
lost
a
job
because
their
job
involves
being
in
front
of
the
public
which
we've
shut
down.
There's
just
so
many
different
avenues
that
we've
been
affected
by
that
that
we
don't
even
have
a
clue.
L
L
T
T
I
see
a
lot
of
interconnection
between
a
lot
of
these
projects,
so
particularly
when
we're
talking
about.
We
have
such
a
strong
support
for
the
feedback
we've
gotten
for
our
environmental
needs
and
sustainability
projects
and
addressing
our
roads
and
our
sewers
and
our
storm
water.
These
are
all
interconnected
because
you
know,
for
example,
if
we
invest
in
our
shoreline
protection,
that's
going
to
then
be
connected
to
our
shoreline
protection.
So
is
there
maybe
a
project
that
can
have
more
that
holistic
approach
and
then
also
thinking
you
know.
T
That's
the
spirit
of
of
what
this
grant
is
is
because
the
things
that
they
have
seen
during
covet
are
just
unbelievable.
So
I'm
so
glad
that
we
were
able
to
do
that
and
in
addition
to
that,
I
believe
our
hospital
had
made
some
requests
and
had
presented
that.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
still
in
play-
and
just
you
know
for
the
record-
that's
the
you
know
I
work
for
the
other
hospital
system.
T
So
in
thinking
of
those
things,
and
also
remembering
when
we're
supporting
our
non-profits,
that
in
turns
is
providing
assistance
to
those
households
like
what
mr
eisner
was
saying.
When
we
have
families
who
are
facing
these
very,
very
traumatic
struggles,
if
we're
supporting
our
local
nonprofit
organizations,
they
in
turn
are
providing
those
much
needed
services.
So
it's
the
again.
It's
the
interconnection
there.
E
Good
evening,
robin
sanger
1630
lonesome
pine
lane
here
in
tarpon
springs.
This
is
wonderful
to
have
this
town
hall
here
and
it's
wonderful
to
hear
all
the
different
voices
and
input
and
feedback
from
people.
I'd
like
to
see
more
of
this
and
I'm
kind
of
echoing
what
jackie
turner
said.
I
think
that
we
have
so
many
opportunities,
it's
hard,
not
to
think
of
how
we
couldn't
address
all
of
them
in
some
way.
E
U
U
A
Just
to
address
a
little
bit
talked
about
broadband
was
a
major
one
that
the
federal
government
put
out,
we're
still
looking
at
from
a
city,
a
city
aspect
on
a
smaller
scale,
what
you
know
the
beginning
of
the
city
and
the
broadband
stuff.
We
are
looking
at
that
right
now,
so
that's
one
of
the
things
that
you'll
be
seeing
in
the
future.
You
know
to
what
extent
again
remember
this
is
for
counties
for
large
counties
and
a
lot
of
different
things
that
the
government
has
said
for
this.
A
You
still
have
time
to
add
to
the
list
one
of
the
funny
things
about
when
when
they
did
the
connect
tarpon.
When
I
looked
at
a
list
of
ideas,
I
said:
oh,
my
goodness,
those
are
those
ideas
are
so
good,
but
they
don't
qualify
for
the
money.
Well,
now
that's
changed
all
of
a
sudden.
They
do
qualify
along
with
everything.
You've
said
today,
so
this
is
going
to
be
a
continuing
project.
A
I
want
to
thank
the
commission
is
the
one
who
directed
me
to
do
this,
so
I
appreciate
you
thanking
me,
but
also
thank
the
city
commission,
who
directed
me
to
have
this.
Thank
goodness
we're
at
a
state
where
we
can
have
it
in
person
and
hopefully
with
some
changes
with
what's
going
on
with
omicron
and
everything
else.
Hopefully
we
can
have
more
of
these.
This
was
a
great
audience.
You
gave
great
input.
A
This
is
what
it's
all
about,
and
you're
going
to
be
seeing
citizen
engagement
like
this
and
and
will
be
advancing
the
computerized
further.
We
got
a
great
test
tonight
and
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
more
functions.
We
can
do
with
it
and
we'll
be
breaking
those
out.
So
thank
you,
everybody
for
coming,
and
I
appreciate
the
input
I'm
sure
the
commission
will
and
more
to
come.
Thank
you.
