9:04:21AM [MOMENT OF SILENCE]

9:05:04AM WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
9:05:06AM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
9:05:07AM ALL IN FAVOR?
9:05:08AM AYE.
9:05:09AM ANY OPPOSED?
9:05:09AM ALL RIGHT.
9:05:11AM LET'S DO SOME HOUSEKEEPING AND GO THROUGH THE AGENDA.
9:05:14AM FIRST OF ALL, LET ME ANNOUNCE THAT COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK
9:05:17AM WILL BE ARRIVING IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
9:05:20AM SHE WILL BE HERE SHORTLY.
9:05:22AM ITEM NUMBER 2 DUE TO A MOTION THAT WE ADOPTED ON MARCH 28 IS
9:05:28AM GOING TO BE CONTINUED UNTIL MAY 2, 2024, IS THAT CORRECT?
9:05:32AM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA, FOR THE FIREFIGHTER OF THE QUARTER?
9:05:37AM >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR.
9:05:37AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO CONTINUE.
9:05:39AM NO.
9:05:40AM OKAY.
9:05:40AM I'LL GO DOWN.
9:05:41AM WE HAVE A MEMO RECEIVED FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY, ANDREA
9:05:44AM ZELMAN, TAKING ITEM NUMBER 31 OFF THE AGENDA, MEANING THAT
9:05:48AM IT HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.
9:05:49AM WE WILL REVISIT THIS AT A LATER DATE SO WE WON'T BE
9:05:52AM DISCUSSING IT TODAY.
9:05:53AM ITEM 31 WILL BE COMING UP AT A FUTURE DATE.
9:05:56AM WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE AGENDA.
9:05:58AM >>BILL CARLSON: I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT
9:06:00AM THAT, PLEASE.
9:06:01AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, SIR.
9:06:01AM LET'S FINISH THE AGENDA.
9:06:03AM YOU ARE NOT RECOGNIZED.
9:06:04AM >>BILL CARLSON: I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE MAKE A COMMENT
9:06:07AM ABOUT THE AGENDA.
9:06:08AM THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT PEOPLE HAVE COME FROM THE PUBLIC TO
9:06:11AM HEAR ABOUT.
9:06:12AM I THINK THE PUBLIC DESERVES TO HAVE A MINUTE TO TALK ABOUT
9:06:14AM IT.
9:06:24AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: BUT IT'S TAKEN OFF THE AGENDA.
9:06:26AM >>BILL CARLSON: BUT THE PUBLIC HAS CONCERN.
9:06:26AM IT WILL TAKE ME ONE MINUTE TO SAY WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY.
9:06:28AM WE CAN VOTE OR HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT OR I CAN JUST SAY
9:06:29AM IT.
9:06:30AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
9:06:45AM CARLSON TO DISCUSS THIS ITEM.
9:06:47AM IS THERE A SECOND?
9:06:48AM IS THERE A SECOND?
9:06:50AM THERE IS NO SECOND, SO WE WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT.
9:06:53AM ALL RIGHT.
9:06:55AM ITEM NUMBER 31 IS BEING TAKEN OFF THE AGENDA.
9:06:58AM MEMO RECEIVED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON --
9:07:00AM >>BILL CARLSON: I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT EVENTUALLY.
9:07:02AM JUST BECAUSE THE ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T WANT ME TO TALK
9:07:04AM ABOUT IT DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT.
9:07:07AM THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR THE PUBLIC.
9:07:09AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MAY I SAY SOMETHING?
9:07:11AM IT'S NOT ABOUT THE COMMENTS MADE.
9:07:14AM THIS IS A MEETING AFTER ANOTHER COUNCIL MEETING WHICH IS
9:07:17AM RARELY DONE.
9:07:17AM USUALLY YOU HAVE THIS, YOU HAVE THE CRA, YOU HAVE SOMETHING
9:07:20AM AND THEN ANOTHER COUNCIL MEETING.
9:07:21AM IN ALL FAIRNESS TO THE SAME PEOPLE WE WANT TO HAVE ALL THE
9:07:23AM FACTS, THEY WANT TO HAVE ALL THE FACTS TO BE PRESENTED, I
9:07:26AM ASSUME.
9:07:26AM BECAUSE I'M ONLY MAKING THIS AN ASSUMPTION.
9:07:30AM I MIGHT BE INCORRECT.
9:07:31AM NOTICE I DIDN'T SAY WRONG.
9:07:33AM NO ELECTED OFFICIAL IS EVER WRONG.
9:07:35AM THEY ARE INCORRECT.
9:07:36AM WHAT I'M SAYING THAT THEN THIS HERE, THEY WANT MORE TIME TO
9:07:39AM DISCUSS IT TO HAVE MORE TRANSPARENCY SO THE PUBLIC CAN
9:07:42AM UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON, THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT
9:07:44AM ISSUE.
9:07:45AM THIS IS NOT JUST A ROOKIE COP THAT WANTS TO COME UP.
9:07:48AM THIS IS THE HEAD OF THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT, ONE OF THE
9:07:50AM FINEST POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE COUNTRY.
9:07:52AM I WANT TO HAVE THE PUBLIC HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION PRESENTED
9:07:58AM BEFORE THEM.
9:07:59AM THAT'S WHY I'M VOTING FOR IT.
9:08:00AM >>BILL CARLSON: MR. CHAIR, I WOULD TAKE LESS TIME THAN HIM
9:08:04AM TO SAY.
9:08:04AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
9:08:05AM THEN TAKE 15 SECONDS.
9:08:06AM >>BILL CARLSON: WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS CHIEF BERCAW HAS BEEN
9:08:10AM DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA THE LAST COUPLE
9:08:12AM OF DAYS.
9:08:13AM I THINK IT'S VERY UNFAIR.
9:08:14AM HE'S A GREAT PERSON.
9:08:15AM HE HAS THE CONFIDENCE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND I STOOD
9:08:19AM BEHIND HIM PROUDLY TO CONFIRM HIM WHEN HE WAS ORIGINALLY
9:08:23AM APPOINTED.
9:08:23AM THIS PROCESS WAS BADLY CONCEIVED BY THE ADMINISTRATION.
9:08:26AM I HOPE THAT NEXT TIME THE ADMINISTRATION HAS MORE
9:08:29AM TRANSPARENCY AND INCLUDES THE PUBLIC.
9:08:31AM I HOPE THEY FOCUS ON COLLABORATION RATHER THAN HIDING
9:08:35AM THINGS.
9:08:35AM FOR EXAMPLE, THE LAST TIME THE MAYOR CALLED ME TO ASK ME TO
9:08:38AM SUPPORT THE POLICE CHIEF, WHICH I DID, THIS TIME I DIDN'T
9:08:41AM EVEN GET A BRIEFING.
9:08:42AM THEY BLINDSIDED US WITH THIS.
9:08:44AM IT IS OFF THE AGENDA.
9:08:45AM BUT THE POLICE CHIEF AND THE HARDWORKING MEN AND WOMEN OF
9:08:48AM OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT DESERVE BETTER.
9:08:49AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:08:50AM WE HAVE A MEMO RECEIVED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON

9:13:57AM >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR.
9:13:58AM GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL, GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.
9:14:07AM IT'S MY GREAT PLEASURE TO DO OUR POLICE OFFICER OF THE
9:14:09AM MONTH.
9:14:10AM LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO HERE AS
9:14:13AM TAMPA CITY COUNCIL TO SHOW THE REFLECTION OF THE COMMUNITY
9:14:16AM SUPPORT OF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, INCLUDING OUR TAMPA POLICE
9:14:19AM DEPARTMENT OFFICERS AND OUR STRONG SUPPORT OF THEM.
9:14:22AM FOR THAT, I WILL LET CHIEF BERCAW COME AND SPEAK ABOUT THIS
9:14:26AM INDIVIDUAL.
9:14:26AM >>CHIEF BERCAW: THANK YOU.
9:14:28AM GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
9:14:29AM DETECTIVE TYLER SHUE, HE'S ONE OF OUR OUTSTANDING DETECTIVES
9:14:36AM AND I'LL GIVE YOU TWO EXAMPLES OF WHY WE'RE NOMINATING HIM
9:14:39AM FOR OFFICER OF THE MONTH.
9:14:41AM TO PREFACE THAT, FOR THOSE WHO TAKE THE OATH TO PROTECT THE
9:14:45AM COMMUNITY THEY SERVE, SEEKING JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME
9:14:48AM CAN BE ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT WHEN THERE ARE LIMITED LEADS,
9:14:51AM INFORMATION, OR EVIDENCE OR EVEN UNCOOPERATIVE WITNESSES.
9:14:55AM WHEN ASSIGNED TO THESE TYPES OF CASES, TENACITY AND
9:15:00AM PERSEVERANCE ARE CRUCIAL.
9:15:01AM A DETERMINED DETECTIVE WILL CHASE DOWN EVEN THE FAINTEST
9:15:05AM LEADS REFUSING TO GIVE UP UNTIL THE TRUTH IS BROUGHT TO
9:15:08AM LIGHT AND JUSTICE IS FOUND FOR THE VICTIMS.
9:15:11AM THIS LEVEL OF DETERMINATION WAS MOST APPARENT WHEN DETECTIVE
9:15:16AM TYLER SHUE WAS ASSIGNED TWO SEPARATE CASES WITH LIMITED
9:15:19AM LEADS WITHIN TWO DAYS OF ONE ANOTHER.
9:15:21AM IN THE LATE EVENING OF NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR, FOLLOWING THE
9:15:26AM CONCLUSION OF A LOCAL CONCERT, THE VICTIM APPROACHED THE
9:15:30AM PERFORMER IN HOPES OF GETTING A PICTURE WITH HIM.
9:15:33AM UNFORTUNATELY, TWO MEMBERS AFFILIATED WITH THE PERFORMER
9:15:37AM INTERVENED AND UNPROVOKED KNOCKED THE VICTIM UNCONSCIOUS
9:15:40AM LEAVING HIM IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
9:15:43AM WITH NO REGARD FOR THE VICTIM, THE SUSPECTS AND THE
9:15:45AM PERFORMER LEFT THE SCENE.
9:15:47AM LEFT WITH ONLY VIDEOS THAT HAD CIRCULATED ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
9:15:52AM DETECTIVE SHUE BEGAN HIS INVESTIGATION, HAVING DEVELOPED A
9:15:55AM STRONG WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LOCAL BUSINESSES IN THE
9:15:59AM COMMUNITY, HE WAS ABLE TO CONTACT BUSINESS OWNERS TO REVIEW
9:16:02AM THEIR SECURITY FOOTAGE IN AN ATTEMPT TO GATHER ADDITIONAL
9:16:05AM EVIDENCE.
9:16:05AM THE SUPPORT AND LEADS DEVELOPED FROM HIS OUTREACH COUPLED
9:16:09AM WITH HIS PERSISTENT AND RELENTLESS EFFORTS QUICKLY LED TO
9:16:14AM BOTH SUSPECTS TURNING THEMSELVES IN.
9:16:17AM IN ANOTHER INCIDENT, DETECTIVE SHUE WAS ASSIGNED A HIT AND
9:16:21AM RUN INVESTIGATION THAT LEFT ONE VICTIM UNCONSCIOUS AND THE
9:16:24AM OTHER VICTIM WITH A LEG FRACTURE.
9:16:27AM WITH NO SUSPECT ON SCENE AND VERY LIMITED EVIDENCE,
9:16:31AM DETECTIVE SHUE AGAIN BEGAN HIS DILIGENT INVESTIGATION.
9:16:35AM HE WORKED TO IDENTIFY THE VEHICLE AND THE TAG.
9:16:39AM HIS WORK PROVED TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND QUICKLY LED TO THE
9:16:42AM POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION OF THE REGISTERED VEHICLE OWNER WHO
9:16:45AM MATCHED THE SUSPECT DESCRIPTION THAT WAS SEEN ON NEARBY
9:16:49AM SURVEILLANCE VIDEO.
9:16:51AM USING ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUES, DETECTIVE SHUE
9:16:53AM WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE INVOLVED VEHICLE AT THE COLLISION
9:16:56AM CENTER AND THE SUSPECT THAT ADMITTED TO THE OFFENSE.
9:17:00AM FORTUNATELY, IN BOTH THESE CASES, THE VICTIMS INVOLVED HAD A
9:17:04AM FULL RECOVERY, BUT, OBVIOUSLY, THE TRAUMA WILL RESIDE WITH
9:17:08AM THEM FOREVER.
9:17:10AM SO IT'S FOR THESE REASONS DETECTIVE SHUE IS BEING RECOGNIZED
9:17:15AM AS THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT'S OFFICER OF THE MONTH FOR
9:17:17AM APRIL 2024.
9:17:18AM CONGRATULATIONS.
9:17:18AM [ APPLAUSE ]
9:17:24AM >>LUIS VIERA: BEFORE WE GIVE YOU THIS, SIR, I KNOW MEMBERS

9:40:32AM THIS IS A REALLY, REALLY GREAT PROGRAM, AND I BELIEVE IT'S
9:40:36AM STARTING THIS WEEK OR STARTING SOON OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

9:40:45AM A PAID INTERNSHIP OF $15 AN HOUR FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WITH
9:40:50AM INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES.

9:41:41AM INITIATED.

9:42:21AM SURE THE FIT OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE COMING IN FIT WITH
9:42:25AM THE WORK THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY BE DOING.
9:42:28AM I WOULD REQUEST THAT I COME BACK WITHIN THREE OR SIX MONTHS
9:42:31AM TO BRING THE INTERNS SO THEY CAN SHARE WITH YOU PERSONALLY
9:42:35AM THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THE PROGRAM AND YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS
9:42:41AM FROM THEM HOW THEY THINK IT'S GOING.
9:42:44AM I THINK IT'S GOING GREAT, BUT THAT'S ME.

9:43:07AM ARE STAKEHOLDERS HERE IN THE CITY.

9:47:17AM I WANT TO SAY HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED STEREOTYPICALLY, NOT
9:47:26AM ONLY IN THE WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT IN THE BLACK
9:47:28AM NEIGHBORHOOD, THE MOST IGNORANT AFRICAN YOU CAN FIND IS AN
9:47:32AM AFRICAN WITH GOLD TEETH, GOLD CHAINS, GOLD RIMS AND NO PLACE
9:47:36AM TO LIVE.
9:47:37AM [ LAUGHTER ]
9:47:37AM NO PLACE TO LIVE.
9:47:41AM HAVE NO HOUSE.
9:47:43AM IGNORANT AFRICANS LIVING IN APARTMENT COMPLEXES, IN THE
9:47:48AM HOUSING PROJECTS PAYING RENT, GOLD TEETH, GOLD CHAIN, AND
9:47:51AM GOLD RIMS, TO THE CLUB EVERY NIGHT, AND NO PLACE TO LIVE.
9:47:56AM THAT'S NOT A WISE AFRICAN.
9:48:01AM EVERYBODY WOULD AGREE WITH ME ON THAT.
9:48:03AM THAT'S NOT A WISE AFRICAN.
9:48:07AM LET ME TELL YOU WHAT UNDERDEVELOPMENT, DISPOSSESSION,
9:48:14AM DE-EDUCATION AND LAUREN HILL MS. EDUCATION DO TO AFRICANS.
9:48:19AM TAKE THOSE SAME AFRICANS AND LET THEM MAKE IT THROUGH LIFE
9:48:26AM AND LET THEM BECOME SEASONED ADULTS.
9:48:28AM AND SEE THOSE SAME IGNORANT AFRICANS NOW ARE OLD AFRICANS.
9:48:36AM ASKING TO YOU SPEND 64 OR $54 MILLION IN PARKS AND
9:48:42AM RECREATION CENTER.
9:48:44AM IT'S THE SAME IGNORANT AFRICANS.
9:48:46AM TAKE THAT $54 MILLION AND GIVE IT TO A HUNDRED AFRICANS WHO
9:48:51AM NEED HOUSING.
9:48:54AM MOST OF THEIR KIDS DON'T HAVE NO PLACE TO LIVE.
9:48:56AM MOST OF THEIR KIDS INCARCERATED.
9:49:01AM MOST OF THEIR KIDS EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING, IGNORANT GOLD
9:49:04AM TEETH, GOLD CHAIN, GOLD RIM AFRICAN EXPERIENCE.
9:49:07AM POLICE HARASSMENT.
9:49:09AM POLICE VIOLENCE.
9:49:11AM UNEMPLOYMENT.
9:49:13AM UNDEREMPLOYMENT.
9:49:15AM NOW THESE AFRICANS SAY THEY WANT A PARKS AND RECREATION
9:49:18AM CENTER.
9:49:18AM THE SAME THING THAT IGNORANT AFRICANS SAYING ABOUT
9:49:22AM RIVERFRONT PARK.
9:49:23AM WE WANT TO RENAME IT WITH THE AFRICAN NAME AND ALL THAT
9:49:27AM OTHER CRAZINESS AND AFRICANS CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO GO OVER
9:49:30AM THERE ANYMORE.
9:49:31AM TAKE THAT SAME MONEY AND GIVE IT TO SOME AFRICANS WHO NEED
9:49:38AM HOUSING.
9:49:39AM THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
9:49:42AM STOP PLAYING BLACK PEOPLE LIKE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, BLACK PEOPLE
9:49:45AM COME CHEAP.
9:49:48AM THE PRICE THE SAME AS IT WAS IN 1400 FOR AN AFRICAN, SAME
9:49:52AM PRICE IT IS TODAY.
9:49:52AM ONE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, ONE COMMUNITY ACTIVIST, ONE RADIO
9:49:55AM STATION THAT YOU ALL PUT OUT NONSENSE ON EVERY SATURDAY
9:50:00AM MORNING, AND NOBODY PUTS YOU ALL IN CHECK.
9:50:02AM YOU ALL THINK AFRICAN PEOPLE THAT IGNORANT.
9:50:05AM I'M ONE OF THOSE GOLD TEETH, GOLD CHAIN, GOLD RIMS, GOT ALL
9:50:09AM THE RIMS, AFRICANS, BUT WILL NEVER FALL FOR THE STUPIDNESS
9:50:13AM YOU ALL TRY TO PUT US IN.
9:50:14AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
9:50:15AM YES, MA'AM.
9:50:16AM GOOD MORNING.
9:50:21AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
9:50:22AM DR. MICHELLE WILLIAMS.
9:50:25AM I'M A LOVER AND HAVE WRITTEN IN MY COLLEGE DAYS MANY THESIS
9:50:30AM PAPERS ON A GREAT LEADER, THE LATE AND GREAT REVEREND DR.
9:50:33AM MARTIN LUTHER KING.
9:50:34AM SO YOU WILL ALWAYS HEAR IN MY SPEECHES HOW I REFERENCE HIM
9:50:38AM BECAUSE HE WAS SO -- HE WAS VERY MOMENTOUS IN MY FAMILY
9:50:44AM GROWING UP.
9:50:45AM TODAY, I STAND BEFORE THIS DAIS OF THE TAMPA CITY COUNCIL,
9:50:50AM AND IN THE SPIRIT OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. WHO SPOKE
9:50:52AM WITH UNYIELDING CLARITY AND MORAL FORCE ABOUT INJUSTICES
9:50:58AM THAT FACE THE BLACK AMERICANS, THIS IS WHY I STAND BEFORE
9:51:00AM YOU TODAY AGAIN.
9:51:01AM IT WAS IN 1989 WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA'S MAYOR'S ADVISORY
9:51:06AM BOARD WAS ESTABLISHED.
9:51:07AM TO ASK SHEDDING LIGHT ON THE MULTIFACETED INJUSTICES THAT
9:51:12AM HAVE LONG AFFLICTED THE BLACK COMMUNITY, YET THE YEARS HAVE
9:51:16AM REVEALED A DISHEARTENING TRUTH.
9:51:19AM THIS COMMITTEE'S EFFORTS HAVE FALLEN SHORT, MARKED BY A LACK
9:51:23AM OF TRUTH, COMMUNICATION, AND A FAILURE TO CONFRONT THE VERY
9:51:27AM ISSUES IT WAS MEANT TO ADDRESS.
9:51:29AM THIS IS NOT MERELY DISAPPOINTING.
9:51:31AM IT IS MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE.
9:51:33AM WE ARE GATHERED IN A MOMENT OF MORAL URGENCY.
9:51:38AM AT THE TIME THAT WE CALL, IT CALLS FOR US TO RISE ABOVE THE
9:51:43AM INSINCERITIES AND INACTIONS THAT HAVE PLAGUED OUR ATTEMPTS
9:51:47AM AT JUSTICE AND EQUITY.
9:51:48AM THE PLIGHT OF OUR COMMUNITY IS NOT A MATTER FOR HALFHEARTED
9:51:53AM DISCUSSIONS OR COSMIC CHANGES.
9:51:56AM IT IS A CALL TO FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM THE SYSTEM THAT
9:52:03AM PERPETUATES OUR SUFFERING.
9:52:05AM FAR TOO LONG, MET WITH EMPTY PROMISES FROM THOSE WHO CLAIM
9:52:09AM TO LEAD WITH JUSTICE IN MIND ONLY TO FIND OUR HOPES DASHED
9:52:12AM BY THE REALITIES OF POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT DEEPEN OUR
9:52:16AM DISPARITY.
9:52:17AM THE INJUSTICES WE FACE ARE NOT ABSTRACTIONS.
9:52:22AM THEY ARE REAL AND AS DESTRUCTIVE AS THE FORCE OF NATURE.
9:52:26AM THEY MANIFEST IN OUR SCHOOLS WITHIN THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, IN
9:52:30AM THE HOUSING MARKET, THROUGH PREDATORY LENDING PRACTICES AND
9:52:34AM THE DISPROPORTIONS OF THE INCARCERATION RATES.
9:52:38AM THESE ARE NOT RANDOM MISFORTUNES.
9:52:41AM THEY ARE A RESULT OF A DELIBERATE ACTION OF POLICIES
9:52:44AM DESIGNED TO MARGINALIZE AND DISENFRANCHISE THE BLACK
9:52:48AM COMMUNITY, TO STAND IDLY BY AND TO HOPE FOR GRADUAL CHANGE
9:52:54AM IS NO LONGER AN OPTION WHERE DR. KING HAS ALWAYS REMINDED US
9:52:59AM THAT JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED.
9:53:02AM THUS WE DEMAND RESTITUTION NOT AS A PLEA BUT AS A RIGHT.
9:53:07AM THIS IS A LANGUAGE OF JUSTICE, THE ONLY LANGUAGE THAT HAS
9:53:11AM EVER MOVED AMERICA TOWARD WHAT IS RIGHT BY THE BLACK
9:53:15AM COMMUNITY.
9:53:15AM I'M NOT HERE TO PITY PAT WITH YOU.
9:53:17AM I'M NOT GOING TO PITY PAT WITH THE DEVIL AND I'M SURE AS
9:53:20AM HELL NOT GOING TO PITY PAT WHEN IT COMES TO EQUALITY FOR MY
9:53:23AM RACE.
9:53:27AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:53:27AM YES, SIR.
9:53:28AM GOOD MORNING, SIR.
9:53:29AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
9:53:31AM >> GOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL.
9:53:33AM DARYL HYCH.
9:53:34AM GOOD MORNING, CHAMBER MEMBERS.
9:53:36AM MAY 25th, 2020, A YOUNG BLACK MAN LIE ON THE GROUND
9:53:43AM SCREAMING "I CAN'T BREATHE."
9:53:46AM I CAN'T BREATHE.
9:53:48AM I CAN'T BREATHE.
9:53:50AM WHILE HE LIE ON THE GROUND SCREAMING "I CAN'T BREATHE,"
9:53:55AM THERE LIE ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH THEIR KNEE ON HIS NECK AND
9:54:00AM HE LIED THERE CONSTANTLY SAYING "I CAN'T BREATHE, I CAN'T
9:54:05AM BREATHE."
9:54:07AM THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT.
9:54:09AM AND WHILE THAT WAS TAKING PLACE THERE WERE OTHER OFFICERS
9:54:12AM THAT WAS STANDING IN GUARD, STANDING IN SHIELD, STANDING
9:54:16AM THERE AND SOME MAY SAY THEY WERE PROTECTING THE CROWD BUT
9:54:20AM SOME MAY SAY THEY WERE ALSO HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND THEY WERE
9:54:25AM JUDICIALLY HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT TOOK PLACE IN THE DEATH
9:54:28AM OF GEORGE FLOYD.
9:54:30AM GEORGE FLOYD'S DEATH CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF HOW WE DO
9:54:36AM BUSINESS TODAY.
9:54:37AM THAT HAPPENED IN MINNEAPOLIS.
9:54:40AM YOU COME ALL THE WAY DOWN THE STATE LINE AND AROUND THE
9:54:43AM COUNTRY AND YOU END UP RIGHT HERE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
9:54:49AM FOUR MONTHS LATER, SEPTEMBER 3rd, 2020.
9:54:53AM MANY OF YOU THAT ARE ON THE COUNCIL TODAY AT SOME POINT IN
9:54:56AM TIME HAVE THE AWESOME OPPORTUNITY TO AGREE UPON RESOLUTION
9:54:59AM NUMBER 568.
9:55:03AM I CAN'T BREATHE.
9:55:04AM I CAN'T BREATHE.
9:55:05AM THAT STATEMENT THAT HE WAS MAKING AS HE LIE ON THE GROUND
9:55:09AM WAS SO PREVALENT, AND AS I GOT READY TO COME DOWN HERE THIS
9:55:12AM MORNING I GOT TO THINKING, HOW MANY BLACK MEN TODAY HAVE
9:55:15AM MADE THAT STATEMENT OF "I CAN'T BREATHE," BECAUSE THEY'VE
9:55:20AM HAD SO MANY THINGS ON THEIR NECK AND THEY HAVE BEEN HELD
9:55:22AM DOWN FOR FAR TOO LONG.
9:55:25AM OUR BLACK MEN HAVE BEEN HELD DOWN FOR FAR TOO LONG FROM
9:55:29AM WHITE AMERICA, WHITE MEN, WHITE WOMEN, BLACK WOMEN, FOR FAR
9:55:34AM TOO LONG, I CAN'T BREATHE.
9:55:36AM AND IF I CAN'T BREATHE, THEN HOW DO I MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
9:55:38AM THE DIFFERENCE THAT A LITTLE SMALL CITY THAT SITS ON THE BAY
9:55:41AM CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY, BY AGREEING AND CHANGING AND
9:55:47AM MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN RESOLUTION NUMBER 568.
9:55:50AM THE STAFF IS GOING TO GIVE A REPORT TODAY.
9:55:52AM YES, THEY ARE.
9:55:53AM THE DECISIONS THAT THEY HAVE COME UP WITH HAVE ALREADY BEEN
9:55:55AM CONCLUDED.
9:55:56AM YES, THEY HAVE.
9:55:57AM BUT YOU HAVE THE POWER TO ALLOW US TODAY TO BEGIN TO BREATHE
9:56:04AM BECAUSE WE'RE TIRED OF SITTING AND SAYING "I CAN'T BREATHE."
9:56:08AM THANK YOU.
9:56:09AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
9:56:10AM ALL RIGHT.
9:56:10AM NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
9:56:11AM GOOD MORNING, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
9:56:18AM >> GOOD MORNING.
9:56:19AM MY NAME IS BLACK ROSE.
9:56:21AM I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL AND TO THE MAYOR FOR
9:56:27AM YOUR FULL SUPPORT ON RESOLUTION 568.
9:56:30AM BY FULL SUPPORT, I DO MEAN TREATING THE THINGS THAT THE

9:56:44AM THAT YOU DON'T JUST SEE AND UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES
9:56:46AM HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS RESOLUTION, BUT THAT YOU ARE ASHAMED AS

9:56:53AM DISPARITIES BETWEEN THE PEOPLE.
9:56:55AM SHOW US YOU SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING PROGRAMS, REHABS, AND,
9:56:59AM MOST IMPORTANTLY, POLICY AND FUNDING.
9:57:03AM FOR EXAMPLE, MAKE IT POLICY THAT WE GET MORE THAN 10 TO 30
9:57:07AM PERCENT OF THE LARGE EXPENSIVE PROJECTS COMING TO OUR
9:57:10AM COMMUNITIES SO THAT WE ACTUALLY BENEFIT OUR PEOPLE BOTH IN
9:57:15AM THE WORKING OF THOSE PROJECTS AS WELL AS THE COMPLETION.
9:57:19AM SUPPORT THE FUNDING THAT IT TAKES FOR THE PROPER PROGRAMS
9:57:22AM AND SUPPORTS TO BE IN PLACE SO THAT WAY WE ARE NOT
9:57:25AM CONSISTENTLY PUTTING BAND-AIDS ON TERMINAL ILLNESSES.
9:57:28AM FUND INITIATIVES THAT ENCOURAGE INCENTIVES FOR HIRING LOCAL
9:57:34AM AS WELL AS INITIATIVES FOR APPRENTICESHIP AND FRESH START
9:57:38AM PROGRAMS FOR RETURNED CITIZENS, AND SUPPORT WRITING POLICY
9:57:41AM INTO THESE CONTRACTS THAT REQUIRE CONTRACTORS TO ADVERTISE
9:57:45AM IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY ARE WORKING PROJECTS IN TO FILL
9:57:48AM POSITIONS SO WE AS MEMBERS OF THESE COMMUNITIES ARE INCLUDED
9:57:51AM IN ITS REBIRTH FROM THE START.
9:57:54AM SHOW US THAT YOU SUPPORT THE FULL POTENTIAL OF WHAT THIS
9:57:57AM RESOLUTION CAN DO TO INCREASE THE STANDARD FOR NOT JUST
9:58:00AM BLACK FOLK, BUT EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE RISING TIDES AND ALL.
9:58:04AM DO THE WORK THAT IT TAKES TO GET IT RIGHT.
9:58:07AM THERE SHOULD BE NO LIMIT ON WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO DO TO
9:58:10AM REVIVE OUR COMMUNITIES FOR US, THE CURRENT RESIDENTS,
9:58:13AM BECAUSE IF WE'RE HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND PROSPERING, WHO
9:58:16AM WOULDN'T WANT TO MOVE INTO A BLACK THRIVING BUSTLING
9:58:20AM COMMUNITY?
9:58:20AM GIVING THOSE OF US ALREADY HERE A CHANCE TO BECOME PART OF
9:58:24AM THE NEW MODERN TAMPA THAT IS SO POPULAR ON NATIONAL NEWS

10:01:54AM NEXT SPEAKER.
10:01:57AM YES, MA'AM.
10:01:57AM GOOD MORNING.
10:01:59AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:01:59AM I'M VALERIE BULLOCK FROM PONCE De LEON.
10:02:05AM MY GOD PARENTS WERE JOSEPH AND SAVANIA PERINO.
10:02:10AM I COME TO SAY PEOPLE WITH CHALLENGED BACKGROUNDS IS NOT
10:02:13AM EASY, BUT THEY ARE PEOPLE THAT DID THEIR TIME.
10:02:17AM IF THEY WASN'T, WE KNOW SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE CALLED THE
10:02:20AM POLICE AND WOULD HAVE WENT BACK TO PRISON FOR ESCAPE.
10:02:23AM I WAS RAISED IN COLLEGE HILL.
10:02:24AM I HAD A LOVING FAMILY.
10:02:25AM A BIG VILLAGE RAISE ME.
10:02:27AM WE NEVER SAW COLOR.
10:02:29AM WE SAW KINDNESS IN PEOPLE WHO CAME TO HELP US WHEN WE NEEDED
10:02:33AM HELP.
10:02:34AM I WAS ALWAYS AN HONOR STUDENT.
10:02:36AM THE WHOLE COMMUNITY PUSHED ME.
10:02:38AM I WAS ON 29th STREET AT BROOKINGS DOCTOR'S OFFICE WHEN I
10:02:43AM WAS FIVE AND SIX YEARS OLD STUFFING ENVELOPES BEFORE THE
10:02:47AM INTERNET CAME OUT.
10:02:48AM I ALWAYS IN THE SOCIAL PROGRAMS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I WAS
10:02:52AM RAISED.
10:02:55AM ENDED UP IN PRISON.
10:02:56AM WHILE I WAS IN PRISON, GOT MY WASTEWATER AND MY DRINKING
10:02:59AM WATER LICENSE.
10:03:00AM SITTING HOME IN SULPHUR SPRINGS IN A TWO-BEDROOM DUPLEX
10:03:04AM PAYING $350 A MONTH IN 1998, THE CITY OF PLANT CITY CALLED
10:03:10AM ME.
10:03:10AM THEY SAID WE GOT A RECONNECT PROGRAM.
10:03:14AM THEY WENT TO BPR, BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION,
10:03:17AM SEEING THAT I HAD A WASTEWATER AND A DRINKING WATER LICENSE,
10:03:21AM THEY SAY WE WANT TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE.
10:03:23AM I'M HOME, NOT WORKING, WAITING TO SEE IF I GOT A PROOF OF
10:03:30AM FOOD STAMPS.
10:03:30AM THE CITY OF PLANT CITY CALLED ME.
10:03:32AM I STARTED MAKING A THOUSAND DOLLARS A WEEK.
10:03:35AM PEOPLE DID NOT BELIEVE IT.
10:03:37AM SO I'M PUSHING WASTEWATER ON PEOPLE.
10:03:39AM YOU ALL GET INTO THIS FIELD, YOU CAN MAKE BIG MONEY.
10:03:43AM NOBODY WANT TO GIVE THE PEOPLE A CHANCE.
10:03:45AM THAT WAS IN 1998, AND HERE IT IS 2024, WE ARE FACING THE
10:03:51AM SAME BARRIERS.
10:03:52AM IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
10:03:56AM I'D RATHER SOMEBODY STAND NEXT DOOR TO ME WHO USED TO BE ON
10:03:59AM CRACK WHO WAS IN PRISON, BUT WHO IS NOW WORKING MAKING SIX
10:04:05AM FIGURE INCOME, BOTH LEAVE THE HOUSE AT THE SAME TIME, SO
10:04:08AM AIN'T GOT TO WORRY ABOUT THEM BREAKING IN MY HOUSE WHILE I'M
10:04:11AM AT WORK.
10:04:11AM [ LAUGHTER ]
10:04:12AM THAT IS THE PERSON I WOULD LIKE LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ME.
10:04:15AM IT'S REAL EASY.
10:04:16AM WE NEED TO REMOVE SOME OF THE BARRIERS SO THE PEOPLE CAN GET
10:04:22AM JOBS.
10:04:22AM WHEN I COME DOWN HERE TO CITY COUNCIL, NOT COMING FOR ME, NO
10:04:27AM PROGRAM IS GOING TO BENEFIT ME.
10:04:28AM I'M COMING FOR PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE ME THAT HAVEN'T BEEN
10:04:33AM GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK.
10:04:36AM IT USED TO BE IN THE '80s AND '90s WE HAD CEDAR, WE HAD
10:04:41AM ALL KIND OF JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS.
10:04:44AM NOW TAMPA IS LACKING.
10:04:46AM WE DON'T HAVE NO JOB TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE YOU CAN GO AND
10:04:50AM SAY I WANT TO GO AND I WANT TO BE A LINEMAN.
10:04:53AM I'LL GO TO TECO AND I'LL GO TO THE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
10:04:57AM WHERE I CAN MAKE $56 AN HOUR.
10:04:59AM WE DON'T HAVE THAT.
10:05:02AM THE CITY OF TAMPA, WE DON'T HAVE A TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE
10:05:05AM PEOPLE CAN GO IN WITH NO EXPERIENCE AND BE A WASTEWATER
10:05:10AM OPERATOR TRAINEE.
10:05:11AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM.
10:05:12AM >> OKAY.
10:05:13AM [ LAUGHTER ]
10:05:14AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT SPEAKER.

10:06:06AM NEED TO EAT, HAVE THE THINGS ON HAND HEALTH-WISE THAT WE
10:06:10AM NEED TO HAVE.
10:06:11AM YOU GUYS CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
10:06:16AM PROTECT.
10:06:16AM THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.
10:06:19AM SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE, LEAD US.

10:06:22AM WE NEED DIFFERENCE.
10:06:23AM WE NEED CHANGE, REAL ONES.
10:06:25AM WE DON'T NEED YOU ALL PLAYING WITH US WITH THIS.
10:06:28AM LIVES ARE ON THE LINE.
10:06:30AM THIS IS A LIFE-AND-DEATH SITUATION.
10:06:33AM WHEN I WAS LAYING THERE TRYING TO RECOVER FROM A DOUBLE
10:06:36AM MASTECTOMY I HAD TO HAVE FOOD SENT TO ME FROM OTHER PEOPLE.
10:06:41AM UBER EATS, INSTACART, BECAUSE I COULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN MY
10:06:44AM OWN NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:06:45AM THAT'S TRAGIC.
10:06:48AM WHAT IF I WAS YOUR DAUGHTER?
10:06:50AM WHAT IF I WAS YOUR MOM?
10:06:52AM I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ALL FEEL ABOUT THEM.
10:06:55AM LET ME TELL YOU, IT'S DISGUSTING TO LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE
10:06:58AM YOU CAN'T HAVE DECENT HEALTH CARE.
10:07:00AM WE'RE NOT EVEN GOING THERE WITH TAMPA FAMILY, HOW YOU CAN'T
10:07:05AM GET A DECENT APPOINTMENT.
10:07:06AM IF YOU DO, IF YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT, YOU'RE GASLIT.
10:07:10AM WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH.
10:07:12AM CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND WHAT THIS IS
10:07:15AM DOING TO PEOPLE?
10:07:15AM YOU ALL HAVE JOBS TO DO, TO HELP WITH THAT.
10:07:21AM YOU ALL CREATED A SYSTEM THAT IS COMPLETELY -- THAT HAS
10:07:26AM COMPLETELY WRECKED THE PLACE.
10:07:27AM YOU ALL NEED TO FIX THAT.
10:07:30AM IT'S A CRISIS OUT HERE, AND IT IS REAL.
10:07:33AM THANK YOU.
10:07:33AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
10:07:34AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:07:34AM GOOD MORNING.
10:07:38AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:07:39AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:07:40AM CONNIE BURTON.
10:07:41AM I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING, FIRST, THE GREATEST PERSON IN
10:07:47AM MY LIFETIME THAT I'M AWARE OF THAT STOOD FIGHTING FOR LAW
10:07:52AM AND ORDER HAS BEEN THE DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING.
10:08:00AM WE HONOR DR. KING AND THE EXTENSION OF HIS WORK.
10:08:04AM TODAY IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS MURDER, BUT WE ARE THE
10:08:06AM CHILDREN OF KING BECAUSE WE HAVE MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION
10:08:10AM THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK UNTIL WE SEE THE WORK IS COMPLETED.
10:08:14AM RESOLUTION 568 GIVES ALL OF YOU AND THE CITY, WE WISH WE
10:08:19AM WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT IS THE CITY'S POSITION REGARDING THIS
10:08:26AM RESOLUTION AND WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE LUKEWARM BECAUSE WE
10:08:29AM CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE IN THAT TEMPERATURE ANYMORE.
10:08:32AM WE HAVE TO HAVE DIRECT ACTION TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUES OF
10:08:37AM MASS INCARCERATION THAT EXISTS IN THIS COMMUNITY, WHERE
10:08:41AM PEOPLE HAVE PAID THEIR DEBT TO SOCIETY IS UNABLE TO MOVE
10:08:46AM FORWARD.
10:08:47AM ONGOING BARRIERS.
10:08:48AM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PROTECTING THE RIGHTS TO VOTE.
10:08:51AM THE WORK OF DESMOND, THAT SAID INCARCERATED PEOPLE THAT PAID
10:09:00AM THEIR DEBT TO SOCIETY SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD.
10:09:02AM HOW DO THAT LOOK IN THIS CITY?
10:09:04AM HOW DO THAT LOOK IN THIS CITY WHERE WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS
10:09:08AM REBUILD ON HOUSING AND PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY CAN'T AFFORD
10:09:11AM A HOUSE?
10:09:11AM RESOLUTION 568 IN ITS HONESTY WILL GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO
10:09:20AM PULL UP THE BAND-AID OF AN INFESTED SORE BECAUSE IT WILL
10:09:26AM ALLOW YOU, CITY GOVERNMENT, CITY STAFF, THE COMMUNITY TO
10:09:30AM HAVE FULL PARTICIPATION IN GUIDING OUR COMMUNITY.
10:09:33AM WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY NOT TO JUST TALK ABOUT THE
10:09:39AM BEAUTIFUL PALM TREES THAT EXIST IN THE CITY, BUT HUMAN CARE
10:09:43AM THAT WE CAN HELP DEVELOP.
10:09:46AM WE BELIEVE THE RESOLUTION IF DONE RIGHT CAN ALLOW ALL
10:09:50AM PARTICIPATION.
10:09:52AM WE BELIEVE THAT THE MAYOR, WE BELIEVE THAT YOU, THE COUNCIL,
10:09:57AM CAN GIVE US A START DATE IN THE ONGOING WORK OF DR. KING
10:10:02AM TODAY.
10:10:03AM YOU SIGNED A RESOLUTION 20 YEARS AGO.
10:10:08AM IT LAID STAGNANT.
10:10:10AM WE'RE IN THE RESURRECTION PERIOD TODAY.
10:10:13AM TODAY WE SAY THAT AS THAT COMMISSION IS FORMED, IT HAS TO
10:10:18AM HAVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY IMPACTED.
10:10:22AM IT HAS TO HAVE PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE, AND IT NEEDS RESOURCES
10:10:27AM TO GIVE US ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT WILL BE NOTHING BUT A
10:10:31AM RUBBER STAMP.
10:10:32AM AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED THE WORK.
10:10:37AM WE WILL SAY TO YOU, COUNCIL, TO CONSIDER TO THOSE OF YOU WHO
10:10:41AM ARE THINKING ABOUT LONGTIME LEGACY AND POLITICAL LIFE, THIS
10:10:46AM IS YOUR CAMPAIGN.
10:10:47AM THANK YOU.
10:10:48AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:10:48AM GOOD MORNING, SIR.
10:10:55AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:10:55AM GREG DAWES.
10:10:59AM INTERESTING THAT WE TALK ABOUT DR. KING ON THE ANNIVERSARY
10:11:01AM OF HIS PASSING WHICH CAME ALMOST TO THE MONTH TO THE DAY I
10:11:04AM WAS BORN IN 1968, CAUSE THAT WATERSHED YEAR FOR OUR COUNTRY.
10:11:08AM BUT WE TALK ABOUT THE -- HE SAID THE ARC OF THE MORAL
10:11:13AM UNIVERSE BEING TOWARDS JUSTICE, BUT I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO
10:11:16AM ASK HIM THE QUESTION ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE DEVOID OF ANY KIND
10:11:19AM OF MORAL CALIBER.
10:11:21AM RECENTLY, THIS CITY GAVE MR. DUBOISE HIS $14 MILLION OR
10:11:26AM APPROVED HIS $14 MILLION FOR HIS INJUSTICE.
10:11:29AM THANKFULLY I DIDN'T HAVE TO FACE THE DEATH SENTENCE AS HE
10:11:32AM DID.
10:11:33AM BUT I WAS THE VICTIM OF AN IMPROPER PROSECUTION WHICH WE'RE
10:11:37AM DEALING WITH.
10:11:38AM I DON'T EXPECT THEM TO DEAL WITH IT.
10:11:39AM THIS CITY COUNCIL'S JURISDICTION I KNOW IS TYPICALLY LIMITED
10:11:42AM TO THOSE ISSUES THAT TAKE PLACE IN THE CITY, BUT YOU HAVE
10:11:45AM THE POWER TO ASK OTHER AGENCIES OR FORCE OTHER AGENCIES TO
10:11:50AM COME ON IN AND SAY, I HAVE CITIZENS IN MY CITY WHO HAVE
10:11:55AM CLAIMED THAT WE'VE HAD FUNDAMENTAL DUE PROCESS VIOLATIONS.
10:11:58AM I'M CALIBRATING THIS BECAUSE SOME REASON PEOPLE COMING INTO
10:12:02AM TAMPA AND WE HAVE PEOPLE IN TAMPA LEGISLATURES AND IN OUR
10:12:08AM COUNTY GOVERNMENT WHO LIVE IN TAMPA WHO OPENLY VIOLATE THE
10:12:14AM WELL-ESTABLISHED RIGHTS OF MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO COME INTO
10:12:17AM THEIR COURTROOMS.
10:12:18AM AND THEY DO THIS WITH IMPUNITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY ARE
10:12:22AM PROTECTED.
10:12:22AM SOME OF THE DIRTY SECRETS I HEARD SOMEBODY MENTION BEFORE IS
10:12:25AM ABOUT STOLEN HOUSES.
10:12:27AM I ACTUALLY HAD HOUSES AT ONE TIME.
10:12:28AM AND BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF A CITY OF TAMPA EMPLOYEE WHO
10:12:33AM ACTUALLY WORKED FOR THE MAYOR AND STILL WORKS FOR THE MAYOR,
10:12:38AM FALSELY ACCUSING SOMETHING WHICH WE'RE STILL GOING THROUGH.
10:12:42AM STILL WAITING FOR 7,000 E-MAILS THAT THE CITY IS HOLDING
10:12:45AM HOSTAGE FOR SOME $10,000, WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME
10:12:48AM DURING THE UNDERLYING CRIMINAL MATTER.
10:12:50AM BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT THE CITY OF TAMPA AND YOU ALL TO DO
10:12:54AM IS TO CONVINCE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO COME IN AND AT
10:12:58AM LEAST LOOK INTO SOME OF THESE ALLEGATIONS.
10:13:01AM THAT'S NOT DIFFICULT.
10:13:02AM THAT'S WITHIN YOUR JURISDICTIONAL POWER.
10:13:04AM I WANT YOU TO LOOK INTO WHY WE'RE HIRING PEOPLE OVER HERE
10:13:07AM ACROSS THE STREET WHO EVEN WHEN APPROACHED WITH
10:13:10AM WELL-ESTABLISHED LAW ARE DENYING YOUR CITIZENS THE RIGHT TO
10:13:15AM EQUAL PROTECTION.
10:13:17AM I KNOW IT MAY COME AS A SHOCK TO SOME PEOPLE, BUT YOU DIDN'T
10:13:21AM NEED TO HAVE THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURN THAT SANFORD V.
10:13:25AM DREAD SCOTT DECISION BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS THING CALLED THE
10:13:28AM 14th AMENDMENT WHICH MADE ALL THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF
10:13:32AM OTHER PEOPLE WHO DON'T LOOK LIKE US APPLICABLE TO US.
10:13:35AM I NEED YOU PEOPLE ON THE CITY COUNCIL, WHETHER YOU BLACK,
10:13:38AM WHITE OR OTHERWISE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE -- CALIBRATE
10:13:42AM IT THIS TIME.
10:13:43AM YOU ALL LIT WORK INTO GOVERNMENT OVER HERE AND DISREGARD OUR
10:13:47AM RIGHTS.
10:13:48AM I PROMISE I WOULDN'T CALL YOU WHAT I THINK YOU ARE.
10:13:50AM WITH THAT BEING SAID, SHOUT OUT TO UNIVERSITY OF THOMAS
10:13:55AM JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL.
10:13:56AM YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY.
10:13:56AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
10:13:57AM YES, SIR, GOOD MORNING.
10:13:58AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:13:59AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:14:01AM MY NAME IS JAMES SHARK.
10:14:03AM I LIVE AT 1420 EAST HANNA AVENUE.
10:14:07AM I'M HERE TO REMIND THE COUNCIL THAT THE ENVIRONMENT WHICH I
10:14:11AM SPEAK FOR SURROUNDS ALL OF US.
10:14:13AM IT DOESN'T JUST SURROUND WHITE PEOPLE OR BLACK PEOPLE.
10:14:15AM IT SURROUNDS ALL OF US.
10:14:16AM WE CAN'T HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY WITHOUT ENVIRONMENTAL
10:14:19AM EQUITY.
10:14:19AM I'D LUCKY TO REMIND YOU THAT THE EPA UNDER JOE BIDEN'S
10:14:24AM DIRECTION HAS PROMULGATED ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AS ONE OF
10:14:30AM ITS MAIN FACTORS.
10:14:31AM SO PLEASE CONSIDER ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ON ALL OF US WHEN
10:14:34AM YOU MAKE DECISIONS REGARDING DEVELOPMENT OR GROWTH.
10:14:38AM THE MAIN THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS TRANSPORTATION.
10:14:42AM THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IS DISADVANTAGED BECAUSE OF
10:14:45AM LACK OF ADEQUATE PUBLIC TRANSIT.
10:14:48AM IT COSTS 10 TO 12 THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR TO RUN A VEHICLE,
10:14:51AM AND YOU MUST HAVE A VEHICLE TO HAVE A JOB IN TAMPA.
10:14:54AM IF YOU DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY IN TROUBLE.
10:14:58AM SO PLEASE AS A COUNCIL WORK TOWARD ENHANCED PUBLIC TRANSIT.
10:15:05AM I KNOW THERE IS A HUGE LOBBY IN TALLAHASSEE COORDINATED BY
10:15:09AM PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS IN MIND OR OURS,
10:15:12AM THAT ARE TOTALLY AGAINST ANY FORM OF PUBLIC TRANSIT BECAUSE
10:15:16AM IT DOESN'T BURN ENOUGH FOSSIL FUEL.
10:15:18AM PLEASE, FIGHT AGAINST THAT.
10:15:19AM YOU HAVE A POSITION TO TAKE ON ANY TRANSIT ISSUE THROUGH
10:15:25AM ART.
10:15:26AM LET'S MAKE PUBLIC TRANSIT EQUITABLE AND AVAILABLE TO ALL.
10:15:29AM THANK YOU.
10:15:29AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
10:15:30AM GOOD MORNING, SIR.
10:15:32AM >> GOOD MORNING.

10:16:43AM YOU SHOULDN'T SUPPORT IT, OKAY?

10:17:17AM SHOUT-OUT TO LYNN HURTAK.
10:17:19AM LAST WEEK SHE SAID 10% FOR THE PROJECT AND WENT UP 10%.
10:17:25AM THEN WENT UP 14%.
10:17:27AM THAT'S HOW THINGS GET DONE WHEN THEY WANT TO GET DONE.
10:17:31AM 10% THEN WENT UP TO 14%.
10:17:33AM THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, IT CAN GET DONE.
10:17:37AM PART OF THAT IS 568.
10:17:41AM EVENT COMMUNITY CENTER IN BLACK COMMUNITY, NO BLACK PEOPLE

10:17:53AM THEY WANT TO KNOW MORE THAN YOUR MAMA AND GRANDMAMA, WHAT
10:17:57AM TRIBE YOU CAME FROM.
10:17:59AM IT'S GOT TO STOP.
10:18:02AM SAY, LOOK, DON'T ASK THESE PEOPLE ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
10:18:07AM CAN THEY DO THE WORK.
10:18:08AM THEY HAVE A LICENSE, DO THE WORK, RECORD OF DOING SOMETHING.

10:18:27AM THERE.
10:18:28AM BUT WHAT IS TO ME --
10:18:30AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN, SIR.
10:18:32AM >> HASEEN CALDWELL.
10:18:35AM THIS IS MY SECOND TIME HERE.
10:18:37AM I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO EVERYBODY LIKE THE LAST TWO TIMES.
10:18:40AM THIS IS MY SECOND TIME.
10:18:42AM BASICALLY, EVERYBODY SAYING ALL THIS STUFF, BUT THEY DON'T
10:18:44AM HAVE NO SOLID FOUNDATION.
10:18:46AM EVERYBODY WANT TO DO THIS, BUT EVERYBODY HITTING EACH OTHER
10:18:49AM IN THE BACK.
10:18:50AM ALSO ASK YOU ALL, LAST TIME I WAS HERE, THEY SAID YOU WANTED
10:18:53AM A RAISE OR WHATEVER.
10:18:55AM IF I'M COMING HERE ASKING FOR SOMETHING FOR MY COMMUNITY,
10:18:58AM FOR MY FAMILY AND YOU ALL DENY ME, I'M GOING TO FEEL A
10:19:01AM CERTAIN WAY.
10:19:02AM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL GOT THE RAISE OR NOT.
10:19:04AM I'M HERE TO SAY, LIKE, IF YOU ALL DIDN'T GET IT YOU SHOULD
10:19:07AM GET IT BECAUSE IF YOU GET THE RAISE, THEN YOU MIGHT WORK
10:19:09AM BETTER.
10:19:10AM [ LAUGHTER ]
10:19:10AM WHEN PEOPLE GET CERTAIN THINGS IN THEIR LIFE, IT SMOOTHS YOU
10:19:15AM OUT.
10:19:16AM LIKE ME, I JUST NEED TO BE SURROUNDED BY POSITIVE PEOPLE AND
10:19:19AM A LOT OF MY BUSINESS AND THINGS THAT I WANT TO DO WILL COME
10:19:22AM TRUE.
10:19:22AM YOU SEE, SO I THINK YOU ALL SHOULD GET YOUR RAISE.
10:19:25AM THING ABOUT EVERYBODY HERE TALKING ABOUT, I GO TO CATHEDRAL
10:19:30AM FAITH.
10:19:30AM I'M AROUND GOOD PEOPLE, AND I'M, WELL, WE'RE STARTING TO
10:19:35AM TALK.
10:19:35AM I'M TALKING TO APOSTLE AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS THE SAME
10:19:39AM THING.
10:19:39AM I THINK WE IN EAST TAMPA IS RIGHT IN A GOOD AREA.
10:19:42AM IF WE CAN START SOMETHING THERE, LIKE WE'RE PROVIDING ALL
10:19:48AM NEEDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, IT WOULD BE GOOD.
10:19:50AM NEXT TIME I COME, I'LL HAVE MORE STUFF ABOUT THAT.
10:19:53AM AND THEN ALSO ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT, LIKE, ALL
10:19:56AM THIS STUFF HERE, BUILDING, BUT LOOK AT 29th IS THE LAST
10:20:00AM STREET.
10:20:00AM NOW, YOU HAVE ALL THESE THINGS.
10:20:02AM DONE TORE ALL THESE PLACES DOWN.
10:20:04AM WHO IS BUYING THE PLACES?
10:20:06AM SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
10:20:07AM PEOPLE SAY THEY WANT THIS AND THAT THERE, THEY ARE BUYING
10:20:10AM THE PLACES BUT NOTHING THERE.
10:20:11AM TAKE 29 AND MAKE THAT INTO A 7th AVENUE BASICALLY FOR THE
10:20:16AM BLACK PEOPLE, NOT FOR THE BLACK PEOPLE, BUT FOR EVERYBODY
10:20:18AM BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY NOW.
10:20:20AM IT'S NOT ONLY ABOUT BLACKS.
10:20:21AM YOU CAN'T WORRY ABOUT BLACKS, BECAUSE BLACKS WILL DO WHAT
10:20:24AM THEY WANT TO DO.
10:20:25AM EVERY RACE WILL DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
10:20:28AM IF YOU BRING SOMETHING TOGETHER AS ONE, THEN THEY'LL BE ABLE
10:20:30AM TO SEE THE SAME THING.
10:20:32AM THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
10:20:33AM LOOK AT 29.
10:20:35AM IF YOU BUILD SOMETHING UP DOWN THERE LIKE 7th AVENUE, BUT
10:20:38AM NOT JUST LIKE 7th AVENUE BUT PLACES WHERE KIDS CAN GO AND
10:20:41AM WORK, THEY'LL COME OUT.
10:20:44AM GO AND WORK, GET JOBS, CHICKENS GOING TO STILL BE RUNNING
10:20:48AM AROUND, THINGS LIKE THAT.
10:20:51AM WHAT THEY ARE REALLY GOING TO DO IS BUILD HOUSES.
10:20:53AM FOUR, FIVE BIG HOUSES.
10:20:54AM NOTHING THERE.
10:20:55AM THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT HOUSING.
10:20:57AM YOU LET THEM TEAR DOWN WEST TAMPA AND NOT THAT MANY THINGS
10:21:00AM TO BUILD.
10:21:00AM BASICALLY BUILD ALL THAT.
10:21:01AM SO A LOT OF THINGS I GOT TO SAY BUT I'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK.
10:21:05AM I THINK IT JUST BEEPED.
10:21:06AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:21:07AM YES, SIR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:21:08AM YES, MA'AM.
10:21:09AM GOOD MORNING.
10:21:12AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:21:13AM ROBIN LOCKETT.
10:21:14AM SO I AGREE WITH ALL THE SENTIMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN --
10:21:20AM EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SPOKEN ABOUT THIS MORNING.
10:21:22AM I THINK IN LIFE, YOU CAN'T CHANGE HISTORY, BUT YOU CAN LEARN
10:21:26AM FROM IT.
10:21:27AM RESOLUTION 568, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT.
10:21:31AM WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WITH RESOLUTION 568 IS AN EMPOWERED
10:21:41AM COMMISSION.
10:21:41AM YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE COMMUNITY PEOPLE, EMPOWER THEM TO DO
10:21:45AM THE WORK.
10:21:47AM I WOULDN'T EXPECT FOR YOU ALL TO DO IT, BUT I WOULD EXPECT
10:21:50AM FOR THEM TO SIT DOWN, CREATE WHAT EACH ONE OF THOSE TIERS
10:21:53AM ARE THAT WAS OUTLINED AND THEY TELL YOU WHAT THEY WANT TO
10:21:57AM SEE IN IT.
10:21:58AM THAT'S EMPOWERING THE COMMUNITY, FROM THEIR WORDS.
10:22:01AM CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS LOW-HANGING FRUIT THAT
10:22:07AM THEY CAN HANDLE IN REGARDS TO RESOLUTION 568.
10:22:11AM YEARS AGO, I USED TO HEAR THAT MEN WITH RECORDS COULD NOT GO
10:22:18AM OUT TO THE PARKS TO HELP COACH THEIR KIDS.
10:22:22AM THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT AUTHORITY.
10:22:24AM AT ONE TIME THEY DID, BUT THEN WHEN THE CITY DID SOMETHING
10:22:26AM OR TOOK OVER IT, THEY NO LONGER CAN DO THAT.
10:22:29AM THAT'S KEEPING FATHERS AWAY FROM BEING ACTIVE WITH THEIR
10:22:33AM KIDS.
10:22:34AM THAT'S THE LOW-HANGING FRUIT.
10:22:35AM I THINK THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS RELEASED FROM PRISON, THERE IS
10:22:43AM A WAIT TIME IN ORDER FOR THEM TO APPLY FOR A CITY JOB.
10:22:47AM GET RID OF IT.
10:22:48AM IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO COME AND WORK, LET THEM COME TO WORK.
10:22:52AM THEY HAVE SERVED THEIR TIME.
10:22:54AM SO THE CITY HAS LOW-HANGING FRUIT THAT THEY CAN START RIGHT
10:22:58AM NOW IN GOOD FAITH OF MOVING THIS RESOLUTION 568 ON.
10:23:04AM ONE OTHER IMPORTANT THING TO ME IS, CITY COUNCIL HAS TO MAKE
10:23:11AM YELLOW JACKETS -- THE YELLOW JACKETS WHOLE AGAIN.
10:23:14AM WEST TAMPA YELLOW JACKETS.
10:23:16AM THEY WERE MOVED.
10:23:17AM THEY WERE LIED TO.
10:23:20AM COACH WRIGHT HAS BEEN OVER THAT PROGRAM FOR YEARS.
10:23:29AM YOU GO TO THE PARK WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.
10:23:32AM NOTHING WORKS.
10:23:33AM THE PARK IS NOT RIGHT.
10:23:34AM THEY WERE GIVEN A LOT OF PROMISES FOR THE CITY TO TAKE THAT
10:23:39AM WATERFRONT PROPERTY IN WEST TAMPA.
10:23:42AM THEY NEED -- I WANT THAT TO BE -- COMMUNITY, I WANT THAT TO
10:23:46AM BE INCLUDED IN THIS 568 BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE MADE WHOLE
10:23:52AM AGAIN.
10:23:52AM SO THANK YOU.
10:23:54AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM.
10:23:55AM YES, MA'AM.
10:24:00AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:24:01AM STEPHANIE POYNOR.
10:24:02AM I SUPPORT RESOLUTION 568, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT
10:24:07AM DOESN'T FLOUNDER LIKE THE BUDGET COMMITTEE DID FOR A WHILE
10:24:10AM THERE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A BABYSITTER.
10:24:12AM AND THERE HAS TO BE A STAFF MEMBER APPOINTED BY THE CITY
10:24:18AM THAT MAKES SURE THAT THINGS HAPPEN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE
10:24:21AM SOMEBODY TO TAKE THE MINUTES.
10:24:22AM WE DIDN'T HAVE SOMEBODY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MEETINGS WERE
10:24:25AM POSTED.
10:24:26AM AND IT FELL ON MR. SHELBY'S SHOULDERS FOR A WHILE AND THEN
10:24:29AM IT GOT MOVED AROUND, AND THAT WAS WHILE I WAS ON THE
10:24:32AM COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE HAD BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS.
10:24:34AM SO 568 HAS TO HAVE A BABYSITTER AT THE STAFF LEVEL TO MAKE
10:24:40AM SURE THAT ALL THOSE THINGS ARE TAKEN CARE OF THROUGHOUT THE
10:24:43AM PROCESS, BECAUSE IF IT DOESN'T, THEN THEY ARE GOING TO
10:24:46AM FLOUNDER.
10:24:46AM SO THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT IN PLACE.
10:24:49AM THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT I GOT UP HERE TO TALK ABOUT, BUT I
10:24:52AM THINK LISTENING TO EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS, IT'S SOMETHING
10:24:54AM THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT WITH THE BUDGET
10:24:57AM COMMITTEE.
10:24:57AM I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS, BECAUSE
10:25:02AM THERE'S BEEN SOME PERSONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT MY INTEGRITY.
10:25:07AM FIRST OF ALL, I MAKE NO MONEY FOR BEING HERE.
10:25:09AM I HAVE NO PERSONAL BENEFIT FOR BEING HERE.
10:25:11AM I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS WHO COME HERE EVERY WEEK AND DO THE
10:25:14AM SAME.
10:25:15AM THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO COME HERE AND THEY GIVE MONEY.
10:25:18AM THEY CARRY WATER FOR PEOPLE.
10:25:19AM I DON'T DO THAT.
10:25:20AM I DON'T CARRY WATER FOR ANYBODY.
10:25:23AM MY OPINIONS ARE MY OWN, JUST LIKE EACH ONE OF YOU HAVE YOUR
10:25:26AM OPINIONS AND YOU DO WHAT YOU LIKE AS WELL.
10:25:29AM I DON'T APPRECIATE ANYONE IMPLYING THAT I DON'T USE THE GOOD
10:25:34AM BRAIN THAT GOD GAVE ME FOR MY OWN LOGICAL THOUGHT PROCESSES.
10:25:39AM AND I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD AS WELL.
10:25:41AM I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT MY
10:25:45AM STATEMENTS ARE MY STATEMENTS.
10:25:47AM NOBODY TELLS ME WHAT TO SAY AND WHAT TO DO, INCLUDING MY
10:25:50AM HUSBAND OF 27 YEARS, GOD BLESS HIM.
10:25:54AM I AM AN INDEPENDENT THINKER, AND I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO
10:25:58AM REMEMBER THAT GOD GAVE YOU A GOOD BRAIN, AND IT'S YOUR JOB
10:26:01AM TO USE IT, NOT GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND BE SOMEBODY
10:26:04AM ELSE'S PAWN.
10:26:07AM AND DON'T ALLOW YOURSELVES TO BE MANIPULATED BY OTHERS.
10:26:11AM AND THAT'S NOT JUST THE PEOPLE SITTING IN FRONT OF ME.
10:26:14AM THAT'S NOT JUST MYSELF.
10:26:16AM IT'S EVERYBODY BECAUSE GOD GAVE YOU A PURPOSE AND YOU'RE
10:26:20AM SUPPOSED TO USE IT FOR YOURSELF AND NOT FOR OTHERS.
10:26:23AM I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT.
10:26:28AM AND I ONLY COME HERE, WELL, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S FUN, BUT I
10:26:32AM ALSO COME HERE BECAUSE I WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR CITY, FOR
10:26:35AM OUR COMMUNITY, FOR EVERYBODY ON COUNCIL AND WHAT IS BEST FOR
10:26:40AM STAFF AS WELL.
10:26:41AM AND ALL THOSE THINGS CAN COME TOGETHER OVER TIME, AND THEY
10:26:45AM CAN ALL BE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE.
10:26:47AM THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE NEGATIVE AND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO BE
10:26:50AM NASTY.
10:26:51AM MY PHONE NUMBER IS IN THE PHONE BOOK.
10:26:53AM SORRY, IT'S ON THE INTERNET.
10:26:55AM YOU CAN FIND ME ANYTIME YOU WANT TO.
10:26:57AM THERE'S NEVER ANY EXCUSE FOR NOT REACHING OUT TO STEPHANIE
10:27:00AM POYNOR IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HER.
10:27:02AM THANK YOU.
10:27:06AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:27:07AM WE'RE GOING TO GO TO REGISTERED SPEAKERS THAT WE HAVE
10:27:10AM ONLINE.
10:27:11AM WE HAVE MR. MICHAEL RANDOLPH.
10:27:13AM IS HE ON?
10:27:14AM MR. RANDOLPH, GOOD MORNING.
10:27:18AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:27:19AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:27:21AM MY NAME IS MICHAEL RANDOLPH.
10:27:23AM I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON RESOLUTION 678.
10:27:28AM NO OTHER TIME IN RECENT HISTORY THIS PARTICULAR RESOLUTION
10:27:34AM IS SO IMPORTANT.
10:27:35AM WITH ATTACKS FROM THE SUPREME COURT, STATE GOVERNMENT,
10:27:42AM FLORIDA COURTS, AND CONGRESS.
10:27:43AM WE NEED THIS LIKE NO TIME BEFORE.
10:27:46AM TWO RECENT STUDIES THAT WAS DONE SENATORS.
10:27:51AM THOSE STUDIES WERE THE TAMPA BAY PARTNERSHIP AND THE
10:27:55AM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY GOVERNMENT STUDY.
10:27:57AM THEY SHOWED WHAT HAPPENS TO CREATE CORE COMMUNITIES.
10:28:03AM THEY FOCUS ON EAST AND WEST TAMPA AS TWO COMMUNITIES REALLY
10:28:08AM AFFECTED BY WHAT'S GOING ON.
10:28:11AM TO BOTH EAST AND WEST TAMPA.
10:28:14AM AND LOOKING AT RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL
10:28:20AM CHALLENGES YOU MIGHT FACE.
10:28:21AM FIRST IS DIVERSE PERSPECTIVE.
10:28:24AM LOW-INCOME PEOPLE SHOULD BE PART OF THIS COMMITTEE, NOT ONLY
10:28:27AM ORGANIZATIONS.
10:28:28AM LIMITED RESOURCES.
10:28:30AM RESISTANCE TO CHANGE.
10:28:34AM COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
10:28:38AM MEASURED OUTPUT.
10:28:41AM MEASURED IMPACT.
10:28:42AM THAT IS USING METRICS THAT REALLY WORK AND BALANCING SOME
10:28:49AM JUSTICE, MAKE ME FEEL GOOD COMPARED TO CONCRETE ACTIONS.
10:28:52AM LOOKING AROUND THE NATION, THERE ARE SEVERAL EXAMPLES YOU
10:28:57AM CAN USE.
10:28:57AM THERE'S CHICAGO, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THE STATE WHERE MR. FLOYD
10:29:04AM WAS KILLED, LOS ANGELES, AND -- VIRGINIA.
10:29:11AM I SUGGEST THAT THE ITEMS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT CAN REDUCE
10:29:14AM TO TWO ITEMS.
10:29:15AM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
10:29:22AM YOUTH EMPLOYMENT, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ACCESS TO LIVING AND
10:29:28AM RETURNING CITIZENS.
10:29:28AM THE NEXT CATEGORY CAN BE CIVIL ENGAGEMENT, RESTITUTION OF
10:29:35AM RIGHTS, HISTORIC TRUTH CHALLENGE.
10:29:39AM AND THE SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE.
10:29:44AM THE KEY ELEMENTS TO THIS IS MONEY.
10:29:46AM THEREFORE THE CRA, COMMUNITY BENEFITS, LAND TRUSTS, ALL
10:29:55AM THESE SHOULD BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION.
10:29:57AM WITHOUT MONEY, WE'RE JUST TALKING THE SAME OLD TALK.
10:30:02AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:30:02AM I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON SOMETHING THAT IS
10:30:04AM SO IMPORTANT.
10:30:06AM THANK YOU.
10:30:06AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, MR. RANDOLPH.
10:30:09AM THE NEXT SPEAKER IS ANGEL DEANGELO.
10:30:11AM GOOD MORNING, SIR.
10:30:14AM >> HELLO.
10:30:14AM GOOD MORNING.
10:30:15AM YOU CAN HEAR ME?
10:30:18AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
10:30:18AM GOOD MORNING.
10:30:19AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:30:20AM MY NAME IS ANGEL DEANGELO.
10:30:22AM I LIVE HERE IN YBOR CITY, BORN AND RAISED IN TAMPA.
10:30:25AM I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS.
10:30:27AM FIRTH STARTING WITH RESOLUTION 568.
10:30:30AM I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTINUED HOUSING CRISIS
10:30:33AM LOOMING OVER US HERE IN TAMPA, BUT IT IS ESPECIALLY APPARENT
10:30:36AM IN EAST TAMPA.
10:30:38AM RESOLUTION 568, WHICH PASSED IN 2020, AIMS TO SOLVE MANY OF
10:30:41AM THE ISSUES FACING LOW-INCOME AND BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS HERE IN
10:30:44AM EAST TAMPA, BUT FOR NOW, ALMOST A FULL FOUR YEARS LATER,
10:30:48AM THOSE PROVISIONS HAVE NOT FULLY BEEN ENACTED.
10:30:51AM WE NEED AND DESERVE QUALITY ATTAINABLE HOUSING IN TAMPA.
10:30:55AM IT'S TIME THAT THE CITY INVEST IN PROPERTY IN THE AREA AND
10:30:57AM THEN SELL HOMES TO THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED AND WORKED IN EAST
10:31:00AM TAMPA.
10:31:01AM IT'S IMPORTANT THAT EAST TAMPA RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE
10:31:04AM FOR YEARS AND YEARS BENEFIT FROM ALL OF THE RESOLUTIONS
10:31:11AM POINT.
10:31:11AM THE RESOLUTION CALLS FOR THE CREATION OF A COMMISSION AND
10:31:14AM IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE COMMISSION IS COMPRISED OF PEOPLE
10:31:16AM SELECTED BY THE COMMUNITY AND THE IMPACTED AREA.
10:31:19AM AND IT SHOULD ALSO BE SUPPORTED BY A DEDICATED STAFF MEMBER.
10:31:22AM IN ADDITION, IT IS BEYOND TIME FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO
10:31:25AM FORMALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE VIOLENCE CAUSED BY ISRAEL AGAINST
10:31:28AM THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE.
10:31:29AM THE CITY NEEDS TO JOIN MANY OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE GLOBE
10:31:33AM THAT HAVE DEMANDED AN END TO THE SIEGE OF PALESTINE AND MASS
10:31:36AM VIOLENCE.
10:31:36AM MILLIONS ARE GOING WITHOUT FOOD, CLEAN WATER AND MEDICAL
10:31:39AM CARE.
10:31:39AM IT IS TIME THE CITY PASS A RESOLUTION AND SPEAK AGAINST THE
10:31:42AM VIOLENCE AND RECOGNIZE THE HUMANITY OF PALESTINIANS AND
10:31:45AM HUMANITY OF EAST TAMPAIANS.
10:31:47AM THANK YOU.
10:31:47AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
10:31:48AM NEXT SPEAKER, MR. FRANKLIN PEREZ.
10:31:57AM >> HI.
10:31:58AM THIS IS FRANKLIN PEREZ.
10:31:59AM CAN YOU HEAR ME?
10:32:00AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR, GOOD MORNING.
10:32:01AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:32:02AM >> MY NAME IS FRANKLIN PEREZ.
10:32:04AM I LIVE IN SEMINOLE AND
10:32:05AM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES.
10:32:05AM IN 2020, THIS CITY COUNCIL PASSED RESOLUTION 568 TO MAKE
10:32:10AM RESTITUTIONS FOR THE HORRIFIC VIOLENCE OF SLAVERY, JIM CROW,
10:32:14AM RED LINING AND MASS INCARCERATION OF BLACK AMERICANS.
10:32:18AM FOUR YEARS LATER, AND YOU ALL HAVE STILL FAILED TO ENACT THE
10:32:22AM PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION WHICH WOULD CHALLENGE MASS
10:32:25AM INCARCERATION, COMBAT RACIST POLICING, AND PROVIDE HOUSING
10:32:29AM AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN BLACK, BROWN, AND LOW-INCOME
10:32:32AM COMMUNITIES AND DO SO MUCH MORE.
10:32:34AM IN ADDITION, I AM CALLING ON YOU TO CREATE THE COMMISSION AS
10:32:38AM PROPOSED WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN EAST TAMPA IN CHARGE OF
10:32:41AM SELECTING WHO IS ON THE COMMITTEE.
10:32:44AM ALSO, RIGHT NOW, ISRAEL IS ENACTING A BRUTAL GENOCIDE ON THE
10:32:48AM PEOPLE OF PALESTINE, AND THIS CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN SILENT.
10:32:51AM I'M DEMANDING THAT EACH OF YOU, ONE, RESCIND ALL PRO-ISRAEL
10:32:54AM RESOLUTIONS YOU HAVE MADE IN THE PAST.
10:32:56AM TWO, PASS A CEASE FIRE RESOLUTION, AND, THREE, THAT YOU
10:33:00AM DEMAND AN END TO THE VIOLENCE AND SIEGE AGAINST PALESTINE
10:33:03AM IMMEDIATELY.
10:33:03AM ENOUGH.
10:33:05AM ISRAEL IS A JEWISH SUPREMACIST APARTHEID STATE THAT HAS BEEN
10:33:08AM COMMITTING ETHNIC CLEANSING AND HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AGAINST
10:33:12AM PALESTINIANS FOR 75 PLUS YEARS AS PER REPUTABLE HUMAN RIGHTS
10:33:23AM ORGANIZATIONS LIKE AMNESTY
10:33:24AM INTERNATIONAL, HUMAN RIGHTS
10:33:24AM WATCH, AND B'TSELEM.
10:33:25AM AND NOW YOU CAN ADD GENOCIDE AS
10:33:26AM ISRAEL IS ON TRIAL AT THE HAGUE
10:33:26AM FOR GENOCIDE AGAINST
10:33:27AM PALESTINIANS.
10:33:27AM STOP SUPPORTING ISRAEL.
10:33:28AM STOP GIVING IT WEAPONS.
10:33:31AM STOP GIVING IT MONEY AND CONDEMN
10:33:31AM IT FOR WHAT IT IS -- AN
10:33:32AM APARTHEID AND GENOCIDAL STATE.
10:33:38AM THE ISRAELI APARTHEID REGIME
10:33:39AM PRIME MINISTER, BENJAMIN
10:33:39AM NETANYAHU, HAS INVOKED GENOCIDAL
10:33:41AM LANGUAGE AGAINST PALESTINIANS IN
10:33:41AM THE GAZA CONCENTRATION CAMP BY
10:33:42AM REFERRING TO AN ANCIENT BIBLICAL
10:33:43AM PASSAGE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
10:33:44AM COMPARING PALESTINIANS TO THE
10:33:45AM AMALEKITES THAT MUST ALL BE PUT
10:33:47AM TO DEATH -- MEN, WOMEN,
10:33:48AM CHILDREN, BABIES.
10:33:50AM THE ISRAELI APARTHEID REGIME
10:33:51AM DEFENSE MINISTER, YOAV GALLANT,
10:33:53AM HAS DEHUMANIZED PALESTINIANS BY
10:33:55AM REFERRING TO PALESTINIANS IN THE
10:33:56AM GAZA CONCENTRATION CAMP AS HUMAN
10:33:58AM ANIMALS.
10:33:58AM AT THIS POINT, DUE TO SCATTERED ZIONIST ONLY OCCUPIED
10:34:04AM SETTLEMENTS IN THE WEST BANK, THE ONLY FAIR SOLUTION TO THE
10:34:06AM ISRAEL PALESTINE CONFLICT IS ONE STATE SOLUTION WHERE
10:34:10AM EVERYONE HAS EQUAL RIGHTS AND A FREE PALESTINE FROM THE
10:34:15AM JORDAN RIVER TO THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA.
10:34:16AM ALL U.S. GOVERNMENT ENTITIES SHOULD BE PRESSURING THE
10:34:20AM ISRAELI APARTHEID REGIME TO MOVE TOWARDS SUCH A FREE
10:34:22AM PALESTINE.
10:34:22AM THE REFRAIN THAT ISRAEL HAS THE
10:34:27AM RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE IS A RED
10:34:27AM HERRING.
10:34:28AM THE REAL QUESTION IS, DOES
10:34:28AM ISRAEL HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE
10:34:29AM FORCE TO MAINTAIN AN ILLEGAL
10:34:30AM OCCUPATION IN APARTHEID STATE
10:34:30AM THAT COMMITS ETHNIC CLEANSING,
10:34:31AM GENOCIDE, AND HUMAN RIGHTS
10:34:32AM ABUSES AGAINST PALESTINIANS?
10:34:34AM THE CLEAR ANSWER IS NO.
10:34:41AM ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT OF
10:34:41AM SELF-DEFENSE WHEN IT IS THE
10:34:42AM OPPRESSOR AND OCCUPIER.
10:34:42AM I REQUEST THAT YOU INTRODUCE THE RESOLUTION TO STAND WITH
10:34:42AM PALESTINIANS DEMANDING AN END TO THE SEIGE OF GAZA, A
10:34:47AM PERMANENT CEASE FIRE AND AN END TO ALL US AID TO ISRAEL --
10:34:50AM MILITARY, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL.
10:34:52AM ALREADY 70 U.S. CITIES HAVE PASSED CEASE FIRE RESOLUTIONS,
10:34:55AM CEASE FIRE NOW, AND IMPLEMENT RESOLUTION 568 APPROPRIATELY
10:34:59AM AND IMMEDIATELY.
10:34:59AM THANK YOU.
10:35:05AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
10:35:06AM NEXT IS LAMMA.
10:35:10AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:35:11AM >> MY NAME IS LAMMA HASSAN.
10:35:15AM I LIVE IN SOUTH TAMPA.
10:35:16AM IN 2020, CITY COUNCIL PASSED RESOLUTION 568 AS A STEP
10:35:19AM TOWARDS REPAIRING THE ATROCITIES OF SLAVERY, JIM CROW, RED
10:35:22AM LINING AND MASS INCARCERATION THAT HAVE RESULTED IN THE DIRE
10:35:26AM CONDITIONS BLACK FOLKS LIVE IN TODAY.
10:35:29AM BLACK FOLKS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE SHOT BY THE POLICE, BE
10:35:32AM KICKED OUT OF THEIR HOMES BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE
10:35:35AM IN THEM BECAUSE OF THE LOW-PAYING JOBS THEY ARE FORCED INTO.
10:35:38AM AND HERE WE ARE, FOUR YEARS LATER, STILL WAITING FOR CITY
10:35:42AM COUNCIL TO TAKE ANY STEPS.
10:35:44AM CITY COUNCIL IS FAILING TO ADDRESS THE VIOLENCE THAT BLACK
10:35:48AM AND BROWN FOLKS ARE EXPERIENCING.
10:35:50AM WE DEMAND THAT THE COMMISSION WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY BE
10:35:53AM CREATED, WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY OF EAST TAMPA IN CHARGE TO
10:35:57AM BE CREATED.
10:35:58AM HONESTLY, I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED WITH HOW CITY COUNCIL
10:36:02AM SUPPORTS VIOLENCE BECAUSE CITY COUNCIL ALSO FAILS TO DO THE
10:36:04AM BARE MINIMUM OF CALLING ISRAEL TO CEASE ITS GENOCIDE AGAINST
10:36:09AM PALESTINIANS IN GAZA.
10:36:11AM ISRAEL IS A GENOCIDAL ENTITY WITH AN ESCALATED AGGRESSION
10:36:15AM AGAINST THOSE FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS.
10:36:21AM I CAN'T EVEN RECOUNT HOW MANY HORRORS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE
10:36:21AM LAST SIX MONTHS LET ALONE THE LAST 75 YEARS.
10:36:23AM HOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS AT AL-SHIFA
10:36:26AM HOSPITAL?
10:36:27AM DOES THAT NOT MAKE YOUR SKIN CRAWL?
10:36:28AM ARE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION?
10:36:30AM DO YOU CARE?
10:36:31AM PATIENTS, DOCTORS, NURSES BODIES FOUND WITH BULLETS, BURNED
10:36:36AM TO A CRISP OR RUN OVER BY BULLDOZERS.
10:36:39AM WOMEN WERE RAPED AND PREGNANT WOMEN BEAT UP.
10:36:41AM I CONDEMN CITY COUNCIL'S SILENCE IN SUPPORT OF DOING NOTHING
10:36:44AM ABOUT THE ATROCITIES THAT THEY HAVE POWER OVER.
10:36:46AM IMPLEMENTING RESOLUTION 578 IS NOT -- SORRY, 568 IS NOT
10:36:53AM CHALLENGING.
10:36:54AM CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE IS NOT CHALLENGING.
10:36:57AM IT'S A CHOICE YOU ALL ARE MAKING TO ACTIVELY ALLOW VIOLENCE
10:37:01AM TO CONTINUE.
10:37:02AM I DEMAND THAT EACH OF YOU PASSES A RESOLUTION TO END THE
10:37:05AM VIOLENCE AND THE SIEGE AGAINST PALESTINIANS IMMEDIATELY.
10:37:08AM CUT TIES THAT YOU HAVE WITH YOUR SISTER CITY IN ISRAEL, AS
10:37:13AM WELL AS DO GOOD ON YOUR COMMITMENTS TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY
10:37:15AM OF TAMPA.
10:37:16AM YOU-ALL HAVE THE POWER TO END THE VIOLENCE.
10:37:18AM YOU ARE CHOOSING NOT TO DO THAT NOW.
10:37:22AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:37:22AM NEXT SPEAKER IS ROGER BUTTERFIELD.
10:37:26AM OKAY.
10:37:27AM NEXT SPEAKER IS MATTHEW LEVINE.
10:37:29AM MA'AM, WERE YOU GOING TO SPEAK AS WELL?
10:37:38AM AFTER THE REGISTERED SPEAKERS, YOU'LL COME UP.
10:37:40AM MR. LEVINE?
10:37:48AM >> HI.
10:37:48AM CAN YOU HEAR ME?
10:37:49AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
10:37:50AM GOOD MORNING.
10:37:53AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:37:54AM MY NAME IS MATTHEW LEVINE.
10:37:55AM I'M FROM TAMPA.
10:37:56AM I'VE LIVED HERE MY WHOLE LIFE.
10:37:58AM I'M SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF RESOLUTION 568 THAT THE CITY
10:38:04AM COUNCIL PASSED IN 2020 AND HAVE YET TO IMPLEMENT THE
10:38:08AM PROVISIONS OF.
10:38:09AM NEED TO CREATE THE COMMISSION AS PROPOSED WITH THE BLACK
10:38:24AM COMMUNITY IN THE EAST TAMPA, SELECTING WHO IS ON THE
10:38:28AM COMMITTEE.
10:38:28AM WE NEED REPARATIONS FOR THE WHOLE RACIST HISTORY IN TAMPA.
10:38:33AM OF MASS INCARCERATION, RACIST POLICING, POOR HOUSING, POOR
10:38:40AM EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
10:38:41AM I THINK ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING'S DEATH WE
10:38:48AM SHOULD ALSO REMEMBER THAT STARTED SPEAKING AGAINST THE
10:38:52AM VIETNAM WAR AT THE END OF HIS LIFE AND THAT'S WHY THIS
10:38:55AM GOVERNMENT MURDERED HIM.
10:38:56AM AND SPEAKING OF GEORGE FLOYD, WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THE
10:39:02AM KNEE ON THE NECK TECHNIQUE THAT WAS USED TO MURDER HIM IS
10:39:05AM SOMETHING THAT THE U.S. POLICE FORCES LEARNED FROM THE
10:39:09AM ZIONIST TERRORIST FORCES IN ISRAEL.
10:39:12AM THEY TEACH THEIR TECHNIQUES TO U.S. POLICE FORCES THAT GO
10:39:17AM OVER THERE ON TRAINING EXCHANGES, AND THEY BRING THEM BACK
10:39:21AM HERE TO USE AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE.
10:39:23AM IN ADDITION TO IMPLEMENTING THE PROVISIONS OF RESOLUTION
10:39:29AM 568, THE CITY COUNCIL NEEDS TO PASS A CEASE FIRE RESOLUTION
10:39:34AM TO CALL FOR AN END TO THE GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE.
10:39:40AM OVER 40,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BRUTALLY MURDERED SO FAR BY
10:39:44AM ISRAEL.
10:39:44AM OVER HALF OF THEM ARE WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
10:39:48AM OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID A FEW THINGS ABOUT THE HORRIFIC
10:39:51AM ATROCITIES THAT HAVE BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS.
10:39:56AM YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD THAT ZIONIST TERRORISTS WERE
10:40:03AM COMMITTING SYSTEMATIC RAPE IN AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL OVER THE
10:40:07AM LAST TWO WEEKS.
10:40:08AM END THE ATROCITIES.
10:40:16AM PASS A CEASE FIRE RESOLUTION.
10:40:18AM END POLICE EXCHANGES BETWEEN TAMPA AND ISRAEL.
10:40:23AM AND END THE FLORIDA-ISRAEL BUSINESS ACCELERATE.
10:40:26AM OUR TAX DOLLARS SHOULD NOT BE FUNDING GENOCIDE.
10:40:29AM THANK YOU.
10:40:29AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
10:40:30AM THE LAST REGISTERED SPEAKER ONLINE IS ALBERT NINOS.
10:40:43AM >>THE CLERK: MR. NINOS, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
10:40:53AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SIR, IF YOU COULD UNMUTE YOURSELF, MR.
10:40:55AM NINOS.
10:40:56AM ALL RIGHT.
10:41:09AM YES, MA'AM.
10:41:09AM GOOD MORNING.
10:41:11AM >> MY NAME IS LETITIA P.
10:41:15AM I'M HERE AGAIN WITH A LONG ISSUE WITH SENIOR RIGHTS AND
10:41:19AM PROTECTION WITH MADISON HIGHLANDS APARTMENT.
10:41:22AM MY MOM BEEN THERE SINCE 2021 WHERE I AM THE CAREGIVER FOR
10:41:29AM HER AND WAS THE CAREGIVER FOR MY FATHER.
10:41:33AM AND THEY ARE NOT PROTECTING THEIR RIGHTS AS FAR AS FOLLOWING
10:41:38AM RULES, SOME OF THE RULES APPLY FOR ONE SET OF PEOPLE, AND IF
10:41:43AM THEY DON'T LIKE YOU, THE RULES DON'T APPLY FOR THE OTHER
10:41:45AM SET.
10:41:46AM I'VE HAD MEDICAL DOCUMENTS WHERE I SUBMITTED TO MADISON
10:41:49AM HIGHLANDS, AND THEY COME UP MISSING OUT OF THE FALL.
10:41:54AM AND MY MOM'S HIPAA RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED.
10:41:56AM I WENT BACK TO THE DOCTOR TO FIND THESE DOCUMENTS.
10:42:00AM NO DOCUMENTS WERE FOUND, AND EVERYBODY IS GIVEN A RUNAROUND.
10:42:04AM I HAVE BEEN -- HOW YOU SAY -- TITLED AS UNAUTHORIZED
10:42:12AM OCCUPANT AND MY MOM HAS MEDICAL NEEDS THAT ARE NEEDED.
10:42:16AM THE APARTMENT HAS GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS.
10:42:20AM I FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS, AND THEY STILL GIVE US A SEVEN-DAY
10:42:25AM NOTICE TO REMEDY AND A SEVEN-DAY NOTICE TO VACATE.
10:42:28AM IT IS JUST THE DISCREPANCIES OF THEM PICKING AND CHOOSING
10:42:31AM WHO THE RULES APPLY TO AND WHO THEY DON'T WANT IT TO APPLY
10:42:36AM TO.
10:42:37AM BASICALLY I'M ASKING AND PETITIONING FOR HELP WITH THIS
10:42:46AM MATTER.
10:42:46AM THEY HAVE A DUTY TO PROTECT THE SENIORS.
10:42:48AM THEY HAVE A DUTY TO FOLLOW THE RULES AS WELL AS THE TENANTS
10:42:52AM HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES.
10:42:53AM THEY HAVE BREACHED THEIR DUTY AND IS NOW HAVING ISSUES
10:42:56AM THAT'S BEEN CAUSED THERE.
10:42:58AM TO ME, THEY ARE UNDER HUD REGULATION BECAUSE THEY TAKE
10:43:02AM FUNDING TO BUILD THESE FACILITIES AND I'VE SEEN TOO MANY
10:43:08AM THINGS GOING ON WHERE THERE ARE SENIORS THAT NEED HELP AND
10:43:14AM THEIR RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED.
10:43:15AM THEY HAVEN'T BRING ANY SOCIAL WORKERS IN TO ASSIST IN THE
10:43:19AM MATTER, AND THEY HAVE KICKED THEM OUT OF THE APARTMENT.
10:43:22AM SOME LIVING ON THE STREETS THAT I'VE SEEN MYSELF.
10:43:27AM A LADY HAD TO GO TO A ROOMING HOUSE AND HER RIGHTS SHOULD
10:43:32AM HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.
10:43:33AM SOCIAL WORKERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN TO ASSESS THE
10:43:35AM MATTER, AND IT HAS NOT.
10:43:38AM THERE HAVE BEEN SOME ISSUES GOING ON AND THEY THINK THEY CAN
10:43:40AM GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING AND TREAT THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY
10:43:42AM DON'T KNOW THEIR RIGHTS.
10:43:44AM AND I'M SPEAKING UP HERE TODAY BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS TO BE
10:43:47AM DONE IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER.
10:43:49AM IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR TOO LONG.
10:43:52AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM.
10:43:53AM YES, MA'AM.

10:44:11AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
10:44:12AM >> BASICALLY, TO NOT FORGET ABOUT THE BROWN AND BLACK BODIES
10:44:16AM WITH UTERUSES AS WE NAVIGATE THE NEXT EIGHT MONTHS AFTER THE
10:44:22AM FLORIDA SUPREME COURT DECISION ON MONDAY, WE'RE IN AN
10:44:28AM UNKILTERED TIME OF A SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN.
10:44:31AM THANK YOU.

10:44:34AM PROGRAMS FOR BROWN AND BLACK FOLKS WITH UTERUSES.
10:44:38AM THANK YOU.
10:44:39AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
10:44:39AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:44:40AM MA'AM, YOU'LL BE THE LAST SPEAKER.

10:44:44AM GOOD MORNING, MA'AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:44:51AM GOOD MORNING.
10:44:52AM >> I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY GOOD MORNING.
10:44:54AM MY NAME IS IRMA CELESTINE.
10:45:00AM I LIVE AT 812 WEST COLUMBUS DRIVE.
10:45:04AM I'M ASKING YOU-ALL, WHY CAN'T WE GET ALONG?
10:45:14AM I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE WE TARGET EACH OTHER.
10:45:22AM WE CAUSE EACH OTHER PAIN.
10:45:26AM AND WHY -- WE ARE ALL ON A MISSION.
10:45:32AM WE WEREN'T JUST BORN.
10:45:35AM WE WERE ALL SUPPOSED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SOCIETY THAT WE
10:45:42AM LIVE.
10:45:43AM I REMEMBER AS A CHILD, I SPOKE ABOUT DIFFERENT COLORS.
10:45:50AM WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CIVILIZED, BUT I DON'T SEE IT.
10:45:54AM AS I LOOK AROUND AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE
10:45:57AM WORLD, WE'RE UNCIVILIZED.
10:46:00AM WE HURT EACH OTHER.
10:46:02AM WE CAUSE PAIN TO EACH OTHER.
10:46:05AM THE THING IS, MY COMPLAINT IS I'M FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY.
10:46:14AM WE ALL ARE IN AMERICA.
10:46:19AM AND SOME HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME LEADERS AND WHATNOT
10:46:26AM BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO BE IN A PLACE TO PROVIDE BETTER FOR
10:46:31AM THEMSELVES AND OTHERS THAT THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY, BUT WE'RE
10:46:38AM AT A POINT WE'RE DESTROYING EACH OTHER.
10:46:42AM SINCE WHERE I LIVE, BEEN THERE ALMOST 30 YEARS, AND I WOULD
10:46:50AM SAY I'VE BEEN TARGETED ALL KIND OF WAYS.
10:46:52AM AT ONE POINT I USED TO COME TO THE COUNCIL.
10:46:56AM ONE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER SAID TO ME, I SAID WHOM SHOULD I
10:47:02AM SPEAK TO IN ORDER TO HAVE MY PROBLEM RESOLVED?
10:47:04AM AND HE SAID TO ME, IT'S BETTER TO DEAL WITH THE DEVIL, THE
10:47:15AM ONE THAT YOU NOW COMPARING TO THE ONE YOU DON'T KNOW.
10:47:19AM THAT THING REALLY HAD PUT SO MUCH PAIN AND A WEIGHT IN MY
10:47:27AM LIFE.
10:47:28AM I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TILL TODAY I'VE STILL BEEN TARGETED
10:47:33AM WHERE I LIVE.
10:47:34AM THEY DAMAGE THE PROPERTY WHERE I LIVE AND I'M NOT LEAVING.
10:47:36AM I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY, WHAT THEY DO.
10:47:39AM THEY'LL HAVE TO EVENTUALLY FIX IT BECAUSE I CAN PROVE IT.
10:47:44AM I'M NOT HERE TO CHALLENGE ANYONE, BUT THE THING IS FAIR IS
10:47:57AM FAIR.
10:47:58AM I CANNOT RUN AND SAY I'LL GO BACK TO MY COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY
10:48:02AM DONE DESTROYED THAT, TOO.
10:48:03AM ANYWAY --

10:48:53AM ITEM NUMBER 11 -- ITEM 10 IS ACCEPTING THE MONEY FOR TREES
10:48:57AM FROM THE ARBOR DAY FOUNDATION WHICH IS, OF COURSE, A GREAT
10:49:00AM THING BECAUSE WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR TREE CANOPY IN TAMPA.
10:49:03AM ITEM 11 IS GIVING THE MONEY TO THE CHIEF OF STAFF.
10:49:06AM I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO SPEND THAT
10:49:09AM MONEY CORRECTLY.
10:49:10AM THE CHIEF -- IF YOU ASK ANYBODY IN THE CITY WHAT THE ISSUES
10:49:14AM ARE WITH THINGS IN THE CITY AND WHY THEY ARE NOT RUNNING
10:49:17AM CORRECTLY, THEY SAY TWO ANSWERS.
10:49:18AM ONE IS THE CHIEF OF STAFF MICROMANAGING WITH SPREAD SHEETS.
10:49:21AM NUMBER TWO WITH THE POLITICAL PEOPLE INTERFERING AND CAUSING
10:49:25AM POLITICAL ISSUES.
10:49:26AM IN ADDITION, WHIT REMER, THE SUSTAINABILITY PERSON, REPORTS
10:49:32AM TO THE CHIEF OF STAFF, AND INSTEAD OF HELPING TO TELL THE
10:49:37AM TRUTH ABOUT HOW TOILET TO TAP WAS A BAD IDEA, THE CHIEF OF
10:49:40AM STAFF ASSIGNED WHIT REMER TO WASTE ALMOST TWO YEARS OF HIS
10:49:43AM TIME PROMOTING A $6 BILLION BOONDOGGLE THAT THE PUBLIC
10:49:47AM ULTIMATELY FOUGHT AGAINST.
10:49:48AM THEREFORE I'M VOTING NO ON THIS.
10:49:50AM NOT BECAUSE I'M AGAINST THIS MONEY.
10:49:51AM I THINK IT SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION
10:49:54AM DEPARTMENT WHERE IT CAN BE SPENT WELL UNDER OCEA WYNN, BUT I
10:49:57AM DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN CHIEF OF STAFF TO SPEND IT
10:49:59AM CORRECTLY.
10:50:00AM THANK YOU.
10:50:00AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON, WOULD YOU LIKE
10:50:02AM TO MOVE ITEM 11?
10:50:03AM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES.
10:50:04AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND.
10:50:05AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
10:50:07AM HENDERSON FOR ITEM NUMBER 11 ONLY.
10:50:09AM SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
10:50:10AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME SAY THIS, EVERYBODY HAS AN
10:50:13AM OPINION, INCLUDING MYSELF, BUT IF I SAY SOMETHING, I GOT TO
10:50:16AM PROVE IT.
10:50:17AM SOMETIMES I DISAGREE WITH SOMEONE, I GO TELL THEM ONE ON ONE
10:50:23AM AND WE COME TO AN AMICABLE AGREEMENT AS TO WHAT HAPPENED AND
10:50:27AM HOW IT HAPPENED.
10:50:28AM I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN ANYONE WHO IS DOING THE JOB FOR THE
10:50:31AM CITY OF TAMPA UNLESS THERE'S SOME PROVEN FACT THAT I SHOULD
10:50:34AM NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THAT PERSON.
10:50:35AM I'M SPEAKING IN GENERAL IN EVERY EMPLOYEE IN THE CITY.
10:50:38AM I DON'T CARE WHERE THEY ARE AT.
10:50:40AM THAT'S JUST THE WAY I WAS RAISED.
10:50:41AM AND I WAS RAISED RIGHT WHERE YOU ALL COME FROM, 1860
10:50:46AM CAMPBELL COURT, HOUSING PROJECT.
10:50:49AM SO YOU LEARN FROM WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW BY WATCHING PEOPLE
10:50:55AM THAT KNOW MORE THAN YOU DO, AND THAT'S HOW LEARN FROM THE
10:50:58AM PEOPLE IN THAT AREA.
10:51:00AM THEY WERE ALL AROUND THE SAME BOAT I WAS IN AND THAT'S WHY I
10:51:03AM AM HOW I AM.
10:51:04AM SO SOMETIMES PEOPLE AGREE WITH ME.
10:51:07AM SOMETIMES THEY DON'T AGREE WITH ME.
10:51:08AM SO I UNDERSTAND THAT.
10:51:09AM IN THIS CASE, I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT I AGREE WITH MOVING
10:51:13AM THIS THING FORWARD UNTIL IT'S PROVEN TO ME THAT THE CHIEF OF
10:51:15AM STAFF IS NOT DOING HIS JOB.
10:51:18AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
10:51:20AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM HAPPY THAT WE'RE GETTING THIS MONEY,
10:51:25AM HOWEVER WE ALREADY HAVE A FORESTRY DEPARTMENT, SO I'M NOT
10:51:28AM REALLY SURE WHY WE'RE REINVENTING THE WHEEL.
10:51:32AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:51:33AM ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION?
10:51:34AM AYE ANY OPPOSED?
10:51:37AM >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH CARLSON VOTING NO.
10:51:39AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT UP, COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK, JUST
10:51:42AM KEEP IN MIND 18 AND 23 ARE SEPARATE.
10:51:44AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I MOVE ITEMS 15, 16, 17 AND 19 -- SORRY, AND
10:51:49AM 24.
10:51:50AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
10:51:51AM HURTAK.
10:51:52AM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
10:51:53AM ALL IN FAVOR?
10:51:53AM AYE.
10:51:54AM 15 THROUGH 17 AND ITEM 24 FOR CLARIFICATION.
10:52:03AM ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.
10:52:06AM THEN WE HAVE A MEMO FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON PULLING 18
10:52:11AM THROUGH 23 FOR SEPARATE VOTES.
10:52:13AM >>BILL CARLSON: YES, SIR.
10:52:14AM I HAVE CONCERN BECAUSE I THINK THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO
10:52:17AM HAVE OVERSIGHT OVER CONTRACTS.
10:52:19AM THERE SHOULD BE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
10:52:22AM THE RULES IN THE CITY SAY THAT CITY COUNCIL NEEDS TO APPROVE
10:52:26AM CONTRACTS HUNDRED THOUSAND PLUS.
10:52:28AM AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SOME OF THOSE CONTRACTS
10:52:31AM BEING STACKED TO BE SOMETIMES CLOSE TO A MILLION DOLLARS.
10:52:34AM IN THIS CASE, WE'RE BEING ASKED TO APPROVE I THINK SIX ONE
10:52:39AM MILLION DOLLARS CONTRACTS.
10:52:40AM WHAT THAT'S DOING IS THAT'S TAKING THE OVERSIGHT AWAY FROM
10:52:43AM THE PUBLIC AND GIVING IT TO THE ADMINISTRATORS.
10:52:45AM THERE'S NO REASON WHY THE ADMINISTRATORS CAN'T COME BACK
10:52:48AM ITEM BY ITEM AND ASK FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL ON THE
10:52:51AM CONSENT AGENDA.
10:52:51AM I THINK THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW.
10:52:54AM ALSO, I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE ONE OF THESE CONTRACTS IS WHAT
10:52:57AM THE COMPANY LEADING THE TOILET TO TAP PROJECT AND I HAVE
10:53:00AM CONCERNS BECAUSE WE KNOW THE MONEY HAS BEEN SHUFFLED AROUND
10:53:02AM US IN PLACES THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN.
10:53:03AM I'M JUST GOING TO VOTE NO ON THESE SIX.
10:53:06AM I THINK THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO DESERVE TRANSPARENCY INTO
10:53:08AM THIS.
10:53:09AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
10:53:11AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REASON THAT I
10:53:13AM HAVE TROUBLE FOR THESE.
10:53:15AM FOR ME, IT WAS THE PRICE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR.
10:53:18AM I HAD TO SIT AND I HAD STAFF EXPLAIN WHAT THE PRICE
10:53:21AM ADJUSTMENT FACTOR.
10:53:22AM THE BOTTOM LINE IS INSTEAD OF 1.18 IT'S 18%.
10:53:26AM TO ME, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR A CONTRACT, AND I JUST --
10:53:31AM RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB AS THINGS COME IN
10:53:34AM FRONT OF US, WE WERE GETTING CONSTANT 8% INCREASES, 7%
10:53:38AM INCREASES.
10:53:39AM THAT WAS CONSTANT LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE WHEN I
10:53:42AM JOINED COUNCIL BECAUSE OF THE COST OF EVERYTHING.
10:53:45AM MOST OF THAT HAS COME DOWN.
10:53:46AM WE HAVEN'T SEEN THOSE TYPES OF INCREASES.
10:53:49AM WE HAVEN'T SEEN DOUBLE-DIGIT INCREASES.
10:53:52AM I JUST PERSONALLY CAN'T APPROVE THIS BASED ON THE DOUBLE
10:53:56AM DIGIT PERCENTAGE INCREASES.
10:53:58AM THAT'S MY ISSUE WITH IT.
10:54:00AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA, YOU ARE THE
10:54:02AM ALTERNATE OF THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE.
10:54:06AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME DO THIS.
10:54:07AM THE CHAIRPERSON FROM PUBLIC WORKS HAS SPOKEN.
10:54:09AM I AGREE.
10:54:10AM SHE EXPLAINED WHY.
10:54:11AM IT WAS 8, NOW 18.
10:54:13AM THERE IS AN AREA THERE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT A 10%
10:54:18AM DIFFERENCE.
10:54:19AM RETROSPECT WHAT THE CHAIRMAN SAID OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE,
10:54:22AM PUBLIC WORKS, HER POINT TO THE PUBLIC AND TO US I BELIEVE
10:54:26AM MAKES SENSE.
10:54:27AM THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO SUPPORT UNTIL SHE COMES BACK IN A
10:54:30AM WEEK OR SO AND FIND OUT WHY THE PRICE INCREASE WENT FROM
10:54:34AM ADDITIONAL 8% COMMON IN THE PAST, 18%, MAYBE IT'S A
10:54:38AM DIFFERENT TYPE OF PRODUCT.
10:54:39AM I DON'T KNOW.
10:54:40AM I HAVE TO AGREE WITH HER.
10:54:42AM WE WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS.
10:54:43AM I APPRECIATE WHAT SHE SAID.
10:54:47AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, YOU HAVE A
10:54:48AM MOTION TO CONTINUE 18 THROUGH 23.
10:54:51AM >> SECOND.
10:54:53AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TO NEXT WEEK.
10:54:55AM APRIL 18.
10:54:57AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
10:54:59AM CLENDENIN, SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA AND DISCUSSION.
10:55:02AM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
10:55:03AM I'LL SECOND THIS.
10:55:03AM I WOULD JUST ASK IF THE PEOPLE IN THIS DEPARTMENT BELIEVE IT
10:55:06AM IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO PASS RIGHT NOW.
10:55:09AM JUST COME AND TELL US.
10:55:10AM OTHERWISE MOTION TO CONTINUE.
10:55:14AM >> AM I ABLE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
10:55:16AM FROM PURCHASING.
10:55:18AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
10:55:20AM >> THIS IS NOT AN 18% INCREASE.
10:55:24AM THIS IS AN 18% ADJUSTMENT ON THEIR MARKUP THAT IS BASED ON
10:55:32AM 2019 PRICES.
10:55:34AM IT'S NOT 18% OVER A YEAR OR ANY OF THAT.
10:55:38AM IF WE LOOK AT JUST ONE OF THESE CONTRACTS WHERE THE VENDOR
10:55:43AM HAS A 15% MARKUP, THEIR MARKUP IS BEING ADJUSTED IN 2024.
10:55:49AM THEY HAD REQUESTED A 15% MARKUP ON 2019 PRICES IN 2020 WHEN
10:55:55AM THIS WAS AWARDED.
10:55:56AM IN 2024, THIS EQUATES TO A 1.36 PERCENT ADJUSTMENT FACTOR.
10:56:06AM SO IT'S 36% OVER 2019 PRICES.
10:56:11AM I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF CLARIFY THAT IT IS A CALCULATION
10:56:15AM THAT'S BASED ON 2019 PRICES AND IT'S JUST THEIR MARKUP
10:56:20AM PERCENTAGE DOESN'T CHANGE OVER TIME.
10:56:22AM IT'S JUST THAT THE MARKET IS ADJUSTED PER THE ENGINEERING
10:56:27AM RECORD.
10:56:27AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:56:28AM I APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATION.
10:56:32AM I THINK REGARDLESS, OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS,
10:56:37AM PERHAPS SO THEY CAN LOOK AT IT WITH MORE TIME.
10:56:39AM YOU EXPLAINED IT, BUT STILL, COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
10:56:42AM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
10:56:43AM YES, WE ARE USING 2019 PRICES AS A BASELINE, BUT THEN THEY
10:56:48AM ARE MULTIPLYING IT.
10:56:50AM IT'S NOT REALLY 1.8.
10:56:51AM IT'S NOT 18%.
10:56:53AM NOW, SOME OF THESE MARKUPS, BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN THE PRICE
10:56:56AM ADJUSTMENT FACTOR HAS BEEN PUT IN FOR EVERY SINGLE YEAR, NOW
10:56:59AM SOME OF THEM THERE IS AN INTERIOR RENOVATION ONE THAT'S 50%.
10:57:03AM SO WHY ARE WE STILL BASING IT?
10:57:05AM AND THIS IS MY ISSUE, WHY ARE WE STILL BASING IT ON 2019
10:57:09AM NUMBERS?
10:57:09AM THE WORLD IS DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT.
10:57:11AM DOES ANYONE REMEMBER 2019?
10:57:13AM BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T AT THIS POINT IN LIFE.
10:57:15AM THIS WAS BEFORE COVID.
10:57:17AM SO MUCH HAS CHANGED THAT I REALLY JUST BELIEVE THAT WE NEED
10:57:19AM TO -- AND I TALKED TO MS. FAGGART ABOUT THIS.
10:57:24AM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ENTIRE THING REVISITED.
10:57:27AM FIVE YEARS HAS BEEN A REALLY LONG TIME, AND THIS ECONOMY
10:57:30AM IT'S REALLY BEEN MORE LIKE 50 YEARS.
10:57:32AM I DO.
10:57:34AM I WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THIS BECAUSE I DO WANT US TO TALK
10:57:37AM ABOUT WHAT COMES IN FRONT OF US.
10:57:39AM IF I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS, I CANNOT EXPECT THE PUBLIC TO
10:57:42AM UNDERSTAND THIS, I MEAN, WE ARE STEWARDS OF THE PUBLIC'S
10:57:45AM MONEY.
10:57:45AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO CONTINUE TO APRIL
10:57:47AM 18.
10:57:47AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
10:57:49AM IS THERE SOMETHING -- IS THERE ANYTHING IN HERE THAT WOULD
10:57:54AM BE DETRIMENTAL OR COST THE CITY MONEY IF WE CONTINUED THIS
10:57:58AM TO APRIL 18?
10:57:59AM IS IT TIME CRITICAL?
10:58:02AM >> CAN YOU REPEAT?
10:58:03AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IS THERE ANYTHING, IF WE CONTINUE THIS TO
10:58:05AM APRIL 18, IS IT TIME CRITICAL?
10:58:07AM IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE CONTRACTS OR SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
10:58:10AM GOING TO LOSE BY CONTINUING THIS TO APRIL 18?
10:58:14AM >> WE HAVE PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PROCESS.
10:58:18AM WE'RE CURRENTLY IN AN EXTENSION OF THE PREVIOUS TERM.
10:58:24AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE COULD BE STATUS QUO TO APRIL 18,
10:58:27AM CORRECT?
10:58:29AM >> -- JUST IN PROCESS, PROJECTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT
10:58:31AM ARE CURRENTLY --
10:58:32AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:58:33AM APPRECIATE IT.
10:58:34AM >> -- THERE ARE SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS THAT DO DEPEND ON THESE
10:58:38AM CONTRACTS TO GET THINGS DONE.
10:58:40AM PARKS AND REC IS A BIG USER.
10:58:44AM SPOKE TO TONY MULKEY THIS MORNING AND HE IS TRAVELING, BUT
10:58:48AM THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PARKS THAT HAVE BENEFITED, YOU KNOW,
10:58:51AM HAVE USED THE PROJECTS -- THESE CONTRACTORS FOR PROJECTS AT
10:58:55AM VILA BROTHERS.
10:58:56AM SOME COMING UP FOR PATTERSON PARK.
10:58:58AM THE SPORTS PAVILION AT NEW TAMPA WAS A JOB PROJECT.
10:59:02AM FACILITIES, I KNOW ADRI IS ON THE LINE AS WELL.
10:59:06AM FACILITIES USES THESE CONTRACTS REGULARLY AS WELL.
10:59:08AM IT'S A HEAVILY UTILIZED CONTRACT.
10:59:14AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
10:59:17AM >> JUST TO ADDRESS THE CONCEPT OF REBIDDING.
10:59:20AM WE ARE BRINGING TO COUNCIL SHORTLY ANOTHER JOB CONTRACT THAT
10:59:27AM CURRENTLY WE HAVE POTENTIALLY EIGHT AWARDEES THAT IS BASED
10:59:31AM ON MORE CURRENT PRICING.
10:59:33AM BUT THIS IS JUST A MULTIYEAR.
10:59:36AM THIS IS A RENEWAL THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, INCLUDED IN THAT
10:59:39AM ORIGINAL BID.
10:59:41AM AND THIS ONE --
10:59:43AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.
10:59:44AM MOVE THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
10:59:47AM >> -- TO 19.
10:59:47AM THEY ARE NOT BUILT YEAR OVER YEAR.
10:59:49AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM.
10:59:50AM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
10:59:51AM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
10:59:54AM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I SAY, IT IS A RHETORICAL QUESTION TO
10:59:57AM ASK STAFF IF SOMETHING IS URGENT AND CAN IT BE DELAYED?
11:00:01AM BECAUSE THE ANSWER ALWAYS IS, YES, IT IS URGENT.
11:00:04AM THEY SHOULDN'T GIVE US THINGS AT THE LAST MINUTE.
11:00:05AM WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE GIVING AWAY THE POWERS GIVEN TO US
11:00:11AM BY THE CHARTER BY BLANKET APPROVING THINGS.
11:00:15AM I THINK THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS VOTING AGAINST PUBLIC
11:00:18AM SCRUTINY.
11:00:19AM PURCHASING NEEDS TO CHANGE THIS.
11:00:20AM THEY NEED TO GET BETTER PRICING, AND THEY NEED TO DISCLOSE
11:00:24AM WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS ARE SO THE PUBLIC CAN --
11:00:27AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN HAS A MOTION TO
11:00:29AM CONTINUE TO APRIL 18.
11:00:31AM COUNCILMAN VIERA WITH THE SECOND.
11:00:32AM ALL IN FAVOR?
11:00:32AM AYE.
11:00:33AM ANY OPPOSED?
11:00:34AM THIS IS FOR THE CONTINUANCE.
11:00:35AM >>THE CLERK: [INAUDIBLE]
11:00:36AM >>LYNN HURTAK: STAFF REPORTS BECAUSE I WILL HAVE -- I'M IN
11:00:39AM THE MIDDLE OF WRITING A MOTION THAT'S GOING TO GO WITH THIS
11:00:43AM THAT I'LL DO DURING NEW BUSINESS.
11:00:44AM ALL OF THEM.
11:00:48AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
11:00:49AM ITEMS NUMBER 25 WAS PULLED FOR A SEPARATE VOTE.
11:00:53AM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, WOULD YOU MOVE 26 THROUGH 31.
11:00:55AM WAIT.
11:00:57AM I'M SORRY.
11:00:57AM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, 26 THROUGH 30.
11:01:01AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I MOVE 26 THROUGH 30.
11:01:05AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I THOUGHT WE PULLED 30.
11:01:07AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THAT'S WHY I CORRECTED IT.
11:01:09AM 26 THROUGH 30.
11:01:11AM >>LYNN HURTAK: NO.
11:01:12AM WE PULLED 30.
11:01:13AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OH, I'M SORRY.
11:01:15AM I'M SORRY.
11:01:20AM I'M LOOKING AT 25.
11:01:21AM 26 THROUGH 29.
11:01:22AM MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
11:01:25AM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
11:01:27AM ALL IN FAVOR?
11:01:28AM AYE.
11:01:28AM I'M SORRY.
11:01:29AM 30 IS GOING TO BE HEARD UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
11:01:32AM ITEM 25 IS REQUEST BY COUNCILMAN CARLSON TO PULL THIS FOR A
11:01:36AM SEPARATE VOTE.
11:01:37AM >>BILL CARLSON: YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO ASK BECAUSE THE
11:01:39AM COMMUNITY HAS BEEN ASKING, ON THIS ITEM, IS ANYBODY FROM
11:01:42AM LEGAL HERE?
11:01:43AM I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK THE SAME QUESTION I ASKED LAST
11:01:46AM WEEK.
11:01:46AM HAS THE MAYOR OR ANY OF HER STAFF FILED A CONFLICT OF
11:01:51AM INTEREST FORM PUBLICLY DISCLOSING ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST
11:01:56AM WITH ANY OF THE CONTRACTORS FUNDED UNDER THIS PROGRAM?
11:02:00AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE ANYBODY FROM THE LEGAL
11:02:01AM DEPARTMENT THAT CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION ONLINE?
11:02:04AM >>BILL CARLSON: I WOULD REPEAT MY REQUEST, IF THE MAYOR HAS
11:02:07AM A CONFLICT, IT SHOULD BE PUBLICLY DISCLOSED SO THE PUBLIC
11:02:10AM CAN SEE IT JUST LIKE CITY COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE AS
11:02:14AM WELL.
11:02:21AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MS. JOHNS, CAN YOU COME UP?
11:02:27AM >>BILL CARLSON: I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE AGAINST IT.
11:02:29AM I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IF THERE ARE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
11:02:32AM THEY ARE PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
11:02:33AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE CAN PUT IT UNDER STAFF REPORTS RIGHT
11:02:35AM AFTER ITEM 30 JUST SO WE CAN HAVE CLARIFICATION.
11:02:38AM THEY CAN PREPARE FOR AN ANSWER.
11:02:41AM ITEM 25, ALL RIGHT TO MOVE IT TO STAFF REPORTS?
11:02:43AM >>BILL CARLSON: I'M OKAY VOTING FOR THAT.
11:02:45AM IF THERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORM, MAYBE THEY COULD
11:02:47AM COME BACK LATER AND DISCLOSE IT, BUT GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR
11:02:50AM IT.
11:02:51AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE'LL PUT IT
11:02:52AM UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
11:02:53AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: FOR THE RECORD, I DON'T HAVE A CONFLICT.
11:02:55AM I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE MAYOR OR ANYBODY ELSE, BUT I DON'T
11:02:57AM HAVE A CONFLICT.
11:03:01AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: 25 WILL BE HEARD LATER WITH ITEM NUMBER
11:03:04AM 30.
11:03:05AM IT'S ALREADY BEEN PULLED.
11:03:12AM >>BILL CARLSON: ON 29 --
11:03:14AM >> WE APPROVED 29.
11:03:17AM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I SAY ONE?
11:03:18AM ON 29, WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE IN THE LAST BUDGET PROCESS WE
11:03:25AM NEED MORE TRANSPARENCY ALONG THE WAY.
11:03:27AM I KNOW WE'VE BEEN GETTING UPDATES.
11:03:28AM WE REALLY NEED A PUBLIC DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT CHANGED.
11:03:34AM WE'RE LEADING INTO -- SURE, ONE OF US CAN DO THAT.
11:03:40AM I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A PUBLIC DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT
11:03:42AM CHANGED.
11:03:47AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME BRING UP ONE THING ON 29.
11:03:50AM 29 IS COVERED, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, UNDER CHAPTER, FROM
11:03:55AM THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
11:03:57AM IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT.
11:03:59AM IF I REMEMBER, 375 ITEMS THAT THE ADMINISTRATION PUT UP AND
11:04:04AM THEY EXPLAINED IT IN DETAIL.
11:04:06AM 375 ITEMS.
11:04:07AM IT'S A TABLE OF CONTENTS FROM THE BEGINNING, THE ANNUAL
11:04:11AM COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FROM BEGINNING TO END,
11:04:16AM WHETHER IT'S RIGHT OR WRONG, ONLY GOD KNOWS.
11:04:20AM BUT IT'S IN BLACK AND WHITE.
11:04:23AM IT WAS PUT UP AND THIS GOES UP TO I BELIEVE STATE STATUTE
11:04:26AM 166-241.
11:04:30AM IT'S DONE.
11:04:31AM IT'S BEEN GIVEN TO THE PROPER AUTHORITY TO MAKE SURE THAT
11:04:34AM EVERYTHING THAT WAS SPENT IS DONE WITH THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST
11:04:39AM AND WITHOUT COST AND WITHOUT BENEFIT TO ANY ELECTED
11:04:42AM OFFICIAL, I WOULD ASSUME.
11:04:44AM IT WAS DONE BY CPA MSL.
11:04:49AM THEREFORE I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS ITEM.
11:04:53AM BECAUSE IF IT DOES, SOMEBODY HAS GOT A PROBLEM.
11:04:56AM AND IT'S NOT WITH ME.
11:04:57AM IT'S WITH THE FEDS.
11:04:59AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:05:00AM MS. ZELMAN.
11:05:01AM YOU'RE IN THE ROOM.
11:05:02AM CAN YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION FOR ITEM NUMBER 25 REGARDING IF
11:05:05AM THERE WAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR PUBLICLY STATED --
11:05:08AM >>ANDREA ZELMAN: ANDREA ZELMAN, CITY ATTORNEY.
11:05:10AM I WANT TO BE CLEAR, THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORMS ARE ONLY
11:05:15AM SUBMITTED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE VOTING ON A MATTER.
11:05:19AM SO THE MAYOR HAS NO OBLIGATION TO SUBMIT A FORM ON ANY ITEM
11:05:24AM THAT'S BEING VOTED ON BY CITY COUNCIL.
11:05:27AM THE MAYOR OBVIOUSLY IS SUBJECT TO THE STATE ETHICS CODE, THE
11:05:33AM CITY ETHICS CODE, ALL THE RULES REGARDING CONFLICT OF
11:05:37AM INTEREST.
11:05:37AM SO I THINK YOU CAN ASSUME AS A GIVEN THAT SHE OPERATES IN
11:05:44AM COMPLIANCE WITH THAT CODE.
11:05:47AM BUT, AGAIN, UNLESS SHE'S VOTING ON AN ITEM, SHE'S NOT
11:05:51AM REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ANY KIND OF FORM.
11:05:54AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
11:05:55AM >>BILL CARLSON: MS. ZELMAN AND I HAVE HAD LOTS OF
11:05:58AM CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS.
11:05:59AM I SOUGHT OUTSIDE COUNSEL.
11:06:02AM AS YOU ALL KNOW, USUALLY WHEN I CONSULT OUTSIDE COUNSEL,
11:06:05AM THEY ARE RIGHT AND THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS WRONG.
11:06:08AM IN THIS CASE, THE ADVICE I'VE GOTTEN IS THAT A MAYOR --
11:06:13AM THERE IS SOME GRAY AREA IN THE INTERPRETATION OF THE ETHICS
11:06:16AM RULES, BUT A MAYOR DOES HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PUBLICLY
11:06:20AM DISCLOSE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
11:06:22AM I'M NOT GOING TO STATE THE DETAILS OF IT, BUT I WOULD NOT
11:06:25AM ASK THE QUESTIONS UNLESS THERE WERE ALLEGATIONS IN THE
11:06:28AM COMMUNITY.
11:06:29AM IF WE ARE REQUIRED TO RELY ON THE OPINION OF THE CITY
11:06:35AM ATTORNEY AND SO WE HAVE NO CHOICE TO DO THAT.
11:06:38AM IF THAT PUTS US AT RISK, WE'RE STILL RELYING ON THE ADVICE
11:06:41AM OF THE CITY ATTORNEY.
11:06:42AM HOWEVER, I THINK WE EACH HAVE A FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO
11:06:45AM THE PUBLIC AND WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK THE
11:06:47AM QUESTION.
11:06:48AM IF THE MAYOR CHOOSES FOR WHATEVER REASON NOT TO DISCLOSE A
11:06:52AM CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IF THERE IS ONE, THEN THAT'S UP TO
11:06:56AM HER.
11:06:56AM BUT I THINK WE HAVE THE DUTY TO ASK THE QUESTION IF THE
11:06:59AM PUBLIC IS ASKING THE QUESTION.
11:07:00AM THANK YOU.
11:07:01AM >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I DON'T WANT ANYTHING I SAID TO BE
11:07:03AM INTERPRETED AS SUGGESTING THAT THE MAYOR WOULDN'T HAVE A
11:07:06AM DUTY TO DISCLOSE A CONFLICT IF SHE WAS ACTING WITH ONE.
11:07:11AM BUT I WAS REFERRING SPECIFICALLY TO THE VOTING FORMS.
11:07:17AM AND MY POINT IS, IF THE MAYOR HAD A CONFLICT, SHE WOULD
11:07:21AM DISCLOSE IT, BUT THE MAYOR TAKES MEASURES TO ENSURE THAT SHE
11:07:24AM DOESN'T OPERATE IN CONFLICT WITH ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF
11:07:31AM THE STATE ETHICS CODE, THE CITY ETHICS CODE.
11:07:34AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
11:07:35AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU.
11:07:36AM THANK COUNCILMAN CARLSON FOR BRINGING IT UP.
11:07:38AM HOWEVER, IF I'M GOING TO SAY WHAT WAS SAID, THEN I WOULD SAY
11:07:42AM WHAT, QUOTE, UNQUOTE, THE CONFLICT IS, IF I KNEW THERE WAS
11:07:47AM ONE.
11:07:47AM I'M NOT JUST GOING TO SHOOT FROM THE HIP AND HOPE I HIT THE
11:07:52AM SIDE OF A BUILDING SOMEWHERE.
11:07:53AM DO YOU KNOW OF ANY CONFLICT THAT THE MAYOR HAS WITH THIS OR
11:07:56AM JUST --
11:07:56AM >>BILL CARLSON: ALL I KNOW IS WHAT -- SEVERAL HAVE ASKED
11:08:00AM ABOUT.
11:08:00AM NO, IT IS VERY SERIOUS.
11:08:01AM I'VE GOTTEN SPECIFIC FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC.
11:08:04AM HOWEVER, MY OWN COUNSEL HAS SUGGESTED THAT EVEN THOUGH WE
11:08:07AM HAVE IMMUNITY UP HERE, THAT I NOT TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC NAMES.
11:08:10AM SO IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO -- WE HAVE INVESTIGATIVE POWER IF
11:08:16AM YOU ALL WANT TO DO THAT.
11:08:19AM WE CAN BRING ON AN INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK AT IT.
11:08:22AM IN THE MEANTIME, I JUST AM TRYING TO DISCLOSE MY FIDUCIARY
11:08:25AM RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE IS A CONFLICT THAT
11:08:27AM IT IS DISCLOSED.
11:08:29AM IF THE MAYOR SAYS SHE HAS NO CONFLICT AND SHE DOESN'T
11:08:32AM DISCLOSE IT AND THE ATTORNEY SAYS IT'S FINE, THEN WE'RE
11:08:35AM DOING OUR JOB TO MOVE FORWARD.
11:08:36AM BUT I WANT TO AT LEAST ASK THE QUESTIONS ON THE ONES THAT
11:08:39AM THE COMMUNITY HAS A QUESTION.
11:08:40AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I LEARNED ONE DAY AS A CRIMINOLOGIST, NOT
11:08:42AM THAT I PRACTICE, BUT THAT'S WHAT MY DEGREE IS IN.
11:08:44AM IF I KNOW SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY TOLD ME, EITHER HEARSAY OR
11:08:48AM THE TRUTH.
11:08:49AM NO GRAY AREA.
11:08:50AM HEARSAY OR THE TRUTH.
11:08:51AM WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SOME BLANKET ACCUSATION ABOUT ME OR
11:08:54AM SOMEBODY ELSE, IT SHOULD BE DISCLOSED WHO SAID IT, WHAT SAID
11:08:57AM IT AND HAVE THE INVESTIGATION ON THAT.
11:08:58AM TO FIND OUT WHAT THE TRUTH IS.
11:09:00AM I'M NOT A COP, BUT A GOOD COP, YOU KNOW WHAT A GOOD COP IS?
11:09:07AM SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS HOW THE ROBBERS STEAL AND HOW THE PEOPLE
11:09:10AM DO THINGS.
11:09:10AM I'M NOT ACCUSING ANYBODY, BUT I REALLY BELIEVE THAT IF THIS
11:09:14AM IS THE CASE THAT AN ACCUSATION HAS BEEN MADE, IT SHOULD BE
11:09:16AM FOLLOWED THROUGH TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL BECAUSE THIS
11:09:19AM GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE SHADOWED BY HALF-TRUTHS.
11:09:23AM I'M NOT SAYING YOU, SIR.
11:09:24AM I'M SAYING HALF-TRUTHS SOMEWHERE.
11:09:27AM INCUMBENT UPON ALL OF US IN THE AUDIENCE AND THIS CITY, IF
11:09:30AM WE WERE TO GO FORWARD AND MAKE THE ACCUSATION OF SOMEONE,
11:09:33AM I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S WHAT IS HAPPENING, MAKING OF THE OTHER
11:09:37AM SEVEN HERE.
11:09:38AM WHO IS GOING TO DEFEND YOU IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH
11:09:41AM IS?
11:09:41AM HOW CAN YOU DEFEND YOURSELF?
11:09:44AM THAT'S ALL.
11:09:46AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
11:09:48AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:09:51AM THE IMPLICATION HERE IS PRETTY SERIOUS.
11:09:54AM IF THERE'S SOMETHING THERE, I WOULD URGE YOU TO SAY WE HAVE
11:09:57AM INVESTIGATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES AS COUNCIL.
11:09:59AM I AGREE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT IS THAT SERIOUS, I THINK
11:10:02AM THEN IF YOU OPEN THAT DOOR, IT IS A DOOR YOU CAN'T SHUT.
11:10:07AM SO YOU'VE OPENED THE DOOR.
11:10:08AM IT'S KIND OF LIKE PANDORA'S BOX WITH THAT KIND OF AN
11:10:12AM ALLEGATION, NOW YOU PUT THE BURDEN ON THE OTHER SIX OF US TO
11:10:16AM PURSUE THAT TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING NOT THERE,
11:10:20AM UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO DISCLOSE TODAY, I DON'T
11:10:24AM KNOW WE WOULD HAVE A CHOICE.
11:10:26AM AGAIN, YOU HAVE OPENED THAT DOOR.
11:10:29AM >>BILL CARLSON: JUST TO BE CLEAR, I'M NOT ALLEGING ANYTHING
11:10:31AM OF ANYBODY.
11:10:31AM I'M ONLY MERELY ASKING THE QUESTION BASED ON QUESTIONS I'VE
11:10:35AM BEEN ASKED FROM THE PUBLIC.
11:10:36AM THAT'S WHERE I'LL DRAW THE LINE AND THEN LEAVE IT UP TO THE
11:10:39AM PUBLIC TO DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
11:10:41AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, LIKE TO MOVE ITEM
11:10:43AM 25?
11:10:43AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES, SIR.
11:10:44AM MOVE ITEM 25.
11:10:45AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM MIRANDA, SECOND FROM
11:10:47AM HENDERSON.

11:10:48AM AYE.
11:10:49AM THAT LEAVES ITEM NUMBER 30 ONLY TO BE HEARD UNDER STAFF

11:10:55AM NEXT UP, WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON FOR BUILDING, ZONING
11:10:58AM AND PRESERVATION, 32 THROUGH 35, SIR.
11:11:01AM >>BILL CARLSON: I MOVE 32 THROUGH 35.

11:11:31AM ALL IN FAVOR?
11:11:31AM AYE.
11:11:32AM MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO OPEN THE 10 A.M. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
11:11:35AM MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
11:11:37AM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
11:11:39AM THIS IS 37, 38 AND 39.
11:11:41AM ALL IN FAVOR?
11:11:42AM AYE.
11:11:42AM THESE ARE QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.
11:11:45AM I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY REGISTERED ONLINE.
11:11:47AM SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK ON ITEMS 37, 38, OR 39, PLEASE
11:11:51AM STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND WE WILL SWEAR YOU IN.
11:11:55AM WE WILL BE BREAKING AT 12:00, JUST SO THE PUBLIC KNOWS.
11:12:06AM [OATH ADMINISTERED BY THE CLERK]
11:12:12AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
11:12:14AM ITEM NUMBER 37 WAS A TIE VOTE.
11:12:16AM WE'RE BRINGING THIS BACK.
11:12:17AM YES, MA'AM.
11:12:18AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
11:12:19AM >> DANA CROSBY COLLIER WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
11:12:23AM YES, SIR.
11:12:24AM SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ WILL BE SPEAKING TO YOU ON THIS ITEM IN
11:12:28AM ONE MOMENT.
11:12:28AM YES, IT WAS A TIE VOTE AND IT WAS CONTINUED FROM MARCH 7,
11:12:32AM 2024, FOR YOUR VOTE TODAY.
11:12:35AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:12:35AM WHO DO WE HAVE PRESENTING FOR ITEM NUMBER 37?
11:12:48AM IT'S ALREADY BEEN PRESENTED.
11:12:51AM IS THERE ANYBODY THEN IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON
11:12:55AM ITEM NUMBER 37?
11:12:58AM YES, MA'AM.
11:12:58AM YOU ARE THE PETITIONER.
11:13:00AM IS IT ALLOWABLE FOR HER TO SPEAK SINCE SHE IS THE
11:13:05AM PETITIONER?
11:13:06AM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
11:13:08AM COUNCIL, YOU'VE ALREADY HAD THE HEARING AND IT RESULTED IN A
11:13:11AM TIE VOTE.
11:13:12AM MAYBE MR. SHELBY CAN SPEAK TO THE PROTOCOL ON WHAT HAPPENS
11:13:16AM THERE IF YOU REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ALLOW.
11:13:19AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN.
11:13:21AM IT WAS REOPENED ON THE DATE OF THE VOTE.
11:13:23AM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON I BELIEVE WAS ABSENT.
11:13:26AM I BELIEVE SHE'S HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE RECORD AND
11:13:29AM IS PREPARED TO VOTE.
11:13:30AM FOR REFRESHING THE COUNCIL'S RECOLLECTION, COULD IT BE
11:13:34AM STATED WHAT THE ORIGINAL MOTION THAT RESULTED IN A TIE VOTE?
11:13:37AM BECAUSE I BELIEVE, IF YOU RECALL, THERE WAS SOME SORT OF
11:13:42AM DISCUSSION THAT WAS MADE WHERE THE APPLICANT OR THE PERSON
11:13:45AM SEEKING REVIEW HAD MADE SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGES, AND I
11:13:49AM DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE MOTION OR
11:13:51AM NOT.
11:13:51AM IS THE APPLICANT HERE TODAY?
11:13:55AM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: IF THE CLERK COULD READ THE MOTION.
11:13:57AM IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW.
11:14:00AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT HAS BEEN.
11:14:01AM AND I'M THINKING ABOUT THAT NOW.
11:14:02AM >>THE CLERK: ON FEBRUARY 1st, MOTION MADE BY CARLSON,
11:14:07AM SECONDED BY HURTAK, THAT COUNCIL MOVE TO UPHOLD THE VARIANCE
11:14:10AM REVIEW BOARD DENIAL OF THE PROPOSED VARIANCE REQUEST AND VRB
11:14:14AM 23-66 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 701 WEST HILLSBOROUGH
11:14:18AM AVENUE BECAUSE THE PETITION FAILED TO PROVIDE COMPETENT AND
11:14:22AM SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE OF A HARDSHIP ACCORDING TO THE
11:14:25AM STANDARDS SET FORTH IN SECTION 27-80 BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
11:14:31AM COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE PRESENTED THAT THERE IS A
11:14:35AM HARDSHIP.
11:14:36AM THE MOTION FAILED DUE TO THE LACK OF A MAJORITY VOTE BY
11:14:40AM VOICE ROLL CALL OF 3-3 WITH VIERA, MIRANDA, AND MANISCALCO
11:14:43AM VOTING NO AND HENDERSON BEING ABSENT.
11:14:46AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THE MOTION WOULD BE THE MOTION TO UPHOLD
11:14:49AM THE DENIAL.
11:14:49AM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: CORRECT.
11:14:53AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CAN I GET --
11:14:56AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: LET ME ASK.
11:14:57AM COUNCIL, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ARE YOU PREPARED TO
11:15:00AM CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING?

11:15:09AM THIS IS TO UPHOLD THE DENIAL.
11:15:15AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WOULD YOUR RELIANCE BE ON THE MOTION AS
11:15:18AM STATED ON AGAIN THE DATE --
11:15:21AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: FEBRUARY 7, I BELIEVE.
11:15:25AM >> FEBRUARY 1st.
11:15:26AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: FEBRUARY 1st.
11:15:28AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I MOVE TO UPHOLD THE DENIAL OF THE FILE
11:15:32AM NUMBER VRB 23-66C AS HEARD ON FEBRUARY 1st, 2024.
11:15:38AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
11:15:39AM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
11:15:41AM ROLL CALL VOTE.

11:15:58AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO.
11:16:00AM >>THE CLERK: THE MOTION FAILED WITH VIERA, MIRANDA,
11:16:02AM HENDERSON, AND MANISCALCO VOTING NO.
11:16:04AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE NOW A MOTION OR SOMEONE WHO
11:16:07AM WISHES TO MAKE A MOTION TO OVERTURN THE DECISION THEREFORE
11:16:10AM GRANTING IT?
11:16:10AM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, DO YOU WISH TO MAKE THAT MOTION?
11:16:13AM PLEASE TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONE.
11:16:18AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ITEM 37, VRB-23-66-C, MOVE TO OVERTURN

11:20:52AM AND THE FINAL HEARING WAS ON JANUARY 8, 2024, IN WHICH THE
11:20:58AM ARC APPROVED THE APPLICATION FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION.
11:21:01AM THIS IS THE SUBJECT AERIAL MAP OF THE PROPERTY.
11:21:07AM IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE HERE ALSO.
11:21:09AM THE GREEN, AND IT GETS A LITTLE LOST IN THE TREE CANOPY
11:21:13AM THERE.
11:21:13AM THAT IS THE LOCATION OF THE SITE.
11:21:14AM THIS IS FLORIBRASKA AVENUE TO THE NORTH AND COLUMBUS DRIVE
11:21:17AM TO THE SOUTH.
11:21:18AM GLADYS STREET RUNS HERE, ABUTTING INTO CENTRAL AVENUE AND
11:21:25AM ROBLES STREET IS ALONG HERE TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY AND
11:21:31AM THIS, OF COURSE, IS I-275.
11:21:33AM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
11:21:38AM THIS IS THE EXISTING NONCONTRIBUTING, NONHISTORIC HOUSE ON
11:21:41AM THE PROPERTY.
11:21:41AM I BELIEVE THIS DUPLEX WAS BUILT IN 1968 AS A NONCONTRIBUTING
11:21:49AM HOUSE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, IT CAN BE DEMOLISHED BY
11:21:52AM RIGHT.
11:21:52AM SO THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT HOUSE
11:21:55AM SHOULD STAY OR NOT.
11:21:56AM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT
11:22:00AM SITE, ANOTHER NONCONTRIBUTING, NONHISTORIC BUILDING.
11:22:03AM DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE, WE HAVE NEW
11:22:11AM CONSTRUCTION AT 2811 AND A HALF NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE.
11:22:15AM THIS IS CONSTRUCTED WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS, AS WAS THIS
11:22:19AM TWO-STORY STRUCTURE ADJACENT TO IT.
11:22:21AM AND THEN THIS IS LOOKING ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS CENTRAL
11:22:27AM AVENUE FROM THE SUBJECT SITE.
11:22:29AM THERE IS ANOTHER NONCONTRIBUTING HOUSE.
11:22:34AM THIS IS OUR VIEW LOOKING NORTH ALONG CENTRAL AVENUE.
11:22:40AM YOU CAN SEE NONCONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES ON BOTH SIDES AND
11:22:43AM THEN MORE CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES IN THE DISTANCE THERE.
11:22:47AM I'LL GET TO WHY YOU SEE SO MANY NONCONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES
11:22:50AM AROUND HERE IN A MOMENT.
11:22:52AM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH.
11:22:54AM YOU CAN GET A GLIMPSE OF SOME OF THE CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES
11:22:57AM IN THE DISTRICT THERE.
11:22:58AM THIS IS OUR 1920s SANBORN MAP OF THE AREA.
11:23:06AM WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN
11:23:12AM GREEN.
11:23:12AM THE TAMPA HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT BOUNDARY IN RED.
11:23:14AM OF COURSE, THERE WAS NO INTERSTATE BACK IN THE 1920s.
11:23:18AM COLUMBUS DRIVE, WHICH WAS THEN MICHIGAN AVENUE TO THE SOUTH
11:23:21AM AND FLORIBRASKA AVENUE TO THE NORTH.
11:23:23AM AT THIS TIME, THERE WAS ONLY ONE HOUSE LOCATED ALONG THIS
11:23:28AM ENTIRE BLOCK BETWEEN WHAT WAS MICHIGAN AVENUE THEN AND
11:23:32AM ROBLES STREET.
11:23:32AM IT WAS ALL OWNED BY THE ROBLES FAMILY AT THAT TIME.
11:23:39AM THIS IS 1951, THE SANBORN MAP FROM 1951.
11:23:46AM AT THIS TIME, THERE WAS ALSO NO STRUCTURE ON THIS SITE.
11:23:51AM THERE WAS A NEW BUILDING JUST TO THE SOUTH, WHICH IS NO
11:23:55AM LONGER THERE, THE NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT I SHOWED YOU IN THE
11:23:58AM PREVIOUS PHOTOGRAPHS REPLACE THAT BUILDING.
11:24:01AM THE HISTORIC BUILDING DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH THERE, THE
11:24:03AM ROBLES HOUSE, IS STILL IN PLACE.
11:24:06AM YOU CAN SEE THERE'S NO OTHER NEW CONSTRUCTION ON THIS SIDE
11:24:09AM OF THE BLOCK AT THE TIME.
11:24:11AM THE PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANCE FOR THIS HISTORIC DISTRICT GOES
11:24:15AM UP TO 1945, SO ANY STRUCTURES THAT WERE BUILT FROM 1946 ON
11:24:20AM WOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE NONCONTRIBUTING BUILDINGS TO THE
11:24:23AM DISTRICT.
11:24:23AM SO THAT LEAVES A LOT OF ROOM THERE FOR THERE TO BE
11:24:29AM NONCONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES ON THIS BLOCK.
11:24:31AM MOVING NOW INTO THE ACTUAL APPLICATION, THIS WAS FROM THE
11:24:36AM ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL FOR THE CASE.
11:24:42AM THE APPLICANTS WERE PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT A NEW TWO-STORY
11:24:46AM HOME WITH AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN THE REAR.
11:24:50AM THIS IS THE INITIAL APPLICATION FROM JUNE.
11:24:57AM SHORTLY THEREAFTER, IT WAS FLIPPED SO THAT THE GARAGE --
11:25:04AM SORRY, THE CARPORT AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE BEHIND IT, THE
11:25:06AM GARAGE, COULD ALL BE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
11:25:10AM THIS WAS DONE TO AVOID CONFLICTS WITH TREES ON THE SITE.
11:25:14AM DURING THIS PROCESS, STAFF WORKED WITH BOTH THE APPLICANT
11:25:20AM AND THE NEIGHBORS TO DISCUSS CONCERNS THAT STAFF HAD AND
11:25:28AM THAT THE NEIGHBORS HAD ABOUT THE PARTICULAR DESIGN OF THE
11:25:32AM APPLICATION.
11:25:34AM THIS IS HOW IT'S SHOWN AS REVIEWED FOR THE NOVEMBER 8 ARC
11:25:40AM PUBLIC HEARING.
11:25:40AM YOU CAN SEE DIFFERENCES HERE, PRIMARY IN THE ROOF LINE.
11:25:46AM THE THIRD STORY HERE WAS TAKEN DOWN SO THAT -- AND THE ROOF
11:25:53AM PITCH WAS MADE HIGHER, SO THAT'S MORE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT
11:25:56AM YOU SEE WITH SOME OF THE OLDER STYLE HOUSES IN THIS AREA.
11:25:59AM IN PREPARATION FOR THE JANUARY 8 ARC PUBLIC HEARING, THE
11:26:12AM APPLICATION WAS CHANGED EVEN MORE SO.
11:26:14AM THE CARPORT ON THE SIDE WAS TURNED INTO A PORTE-COCHERE
11:26:19AM WHICH WRAPS INTO THE FRONT PORCH.
11:26:21AM THE FRONT PORCH CHANGED FROM A TWO-STORY TO A ONE-STORY
11:26:25AM FRONT PORCH.
11:26:25AM AND THESE WERE -- THIS WAS DONE PRIMARILY DUE TO CONCERNS
11:26:30AM THAT WERE BROUGHT UP BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:26:32AM THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE CHANGED AS WELL THROUGHOUT THIS
11:26:43AM PROCESS.
11:26:43AM INITIALLY AS IT WAS SUBMITTED, THIS IS HOW IT WAS SHOWN
11:26:47AM DURING THE INITIAL SUBMITTAL WHEN IT WAS REVIEWED FOR THE
11:26:52AM SEPTEMBER ARC PUBLIC HEARING, THIS IS HOW IT WAS SHOWN WITH
11:26:56AM THE GARAGE FACING THE STREET.
11:26:58AM BASED ON COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM THE ARC AT THAT PUBLIC
11:27:02AM HEARING, THE ORIENTATION OF THE GARAGE WAS FLIPPED AND I'LL
11:27:06AM SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN FOR THIS IN A MOMENT.
11:27:07AM SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING HERE AND THE
11:27:17AM GARAGE DOORS ARE ACTUALLY FACING THE SOUTH.
11:27:19AM AND THEN AS IT WAS REVIEWED FOR THE JANUARY 8 ARC HEARING
11:27:27AM HERE, JUST A FEW THINGS WERE SIMPLIFIED.
11:27:32AM BASICALLY THE ORIENTATION AND THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE
11:27:35AM ACCESSORY STRUCTURE REMAINED THE SAME FROM NOVEMBER TO
11:27:39AM JANUARY.
11:27:40AM THIS IS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY.
11:27:43AM IT'S A VERY DEEP PROPERTY.
11:27:46AM ALMOST 200 FEET DEEP, AND IT'S WIDE AS WELL, BEING ABOUT 70
11:27:52AM FEET WIDE, I BELIEVE.
11:27:54AM THIS IS THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE.
11:27:58AM ACTUALLY, IT SAYS HERE IT IS A NEW TWO AND A HALF STORY
11:28:01AM RESIDENCE.
11:28:02AM THERE IS LIVABLE SPACE ABOVE THE SECOND STORY.
11:28:04AM THIS IS WHY THEY ARE CALLING THAT A HALF STORY AT THE TOP.
11:28:07AM RIBBON DRIVEWAY WHICH LEADS TO THIS PAVED AREA IN THE BACK
11:28:13AM AND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE NEAR THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.
11:28:16AM THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE MEETS ALL PRIMARY STRUCTURE
11:28:20AM SETBACKS, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT, THAT GENERALLY MEANS
11:28:23AM THAT IT DID NOT HAVE TO BE REDUCED IN SIZE TO AN ACCESSORY
11:28:26AM STRUCTURE SIZE, AND THERE WAS ALSO NO HEIGHT LIMIT.
11:28:30AM SO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE HERE IS -- DOES NOT HAVE TO
11:28:34AM COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS THAT ACCESSORY STRUCTURES WOULD IF
11:28:37AM THEY WERE NOT MEETING THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE SETBACKS.
11:28:42AM THIS IS THE MAIN BUILDING AS IT WAS APPROVED AT THE JANUARY
11:28:50AM 8 ARC HEARING.
11:28:52AM YOU CAN SEE THE PRIMARY ELEVATION HERE FACING CENTRAL
11:28:55AM AVENUE.
11:28:55AM THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION.
11:28:57AM THE SOUTH SIDE HERE, I BELIEVE, AND THE NORTH SIDE HERE.
11:29:08AM YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS IS WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY THE CARPORT WAS
11:29:12AM FURTHER BACK ALONG THE PROPERTY.
11:29:14AM IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO BE IN LINE WITH THE FRONT PORCH AND
11:29:17AM REDUCED IN DEPTH SO THAT IT IS MORE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU
11:29:24AM SEE IN TRADITIONAL PORTE-COCHERE SIZE.
11:29:26AM AND THEN THIS IS WHAT WAS APPROVED AT THE ARC HEARING FOR
11:29:32AM THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, THE PRIMARY, THE WEST ELEVATION,
11:29:37AM THE EAST ELEVATION, THE NORTH ELEVATION, AND THE SOUTH
11:29:40AM ELEVATION.
11:29:41AM WITHIN THIS AREA, THERE ARE SEVERAL STRUCTURES THAT ARE AT
11:29:57AM LEAST TWO STORIES HIGH.
11:29:59AM MOST OF THESE ARE HISTORIC STRUCTURES.
11:30:04AM A FEW ARE NEWER CONSTRUCTION.
11:30:07AM WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE, IF THIS IS THE GENERAL MAP OF
11:30:10AM THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, SO ANYTHING THAT'S SHOWN SHADED IN
11:30:14AM GRAY IS A CONTRIBUTING PROPERTY.
11:30:15AM AND THOSE THAT ARE SHOWN WITH A WHITE OUTLINE THERE ARE
11:30:21AM NONCONTRIBUTING, NONHISTORIC STRUCTURES.
11:30:23AM THE BUILDINGS IN THIS AREA INCLUDE A FEW OF THE MORE NEW
11:30:33AM CONSTRUCTION ON ROBLES AND ELMORE THAT ARE TWO STORIES IN
11:30:38AM HEIGHT.
11:30:38AM ALONG CENTRAL AVENUE.
11:30:42AM THERE ARE MULTIPLE BUILDINGS THAT ARE AT LEAST TWO STORIES
11:30:45AM AS WELL.
11:30:45AM AND THIS IS THE ROBLES HOUSE DOWN HERE IN BLUE.
11:30:50AM I WAS ABLE TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON SOME OF THESE
11:30:58AM PROPERTIES AND FOUND THEIR OVERALL HEIGHT, THE HEIGHT OF THE
11:31:03AM BUILDING AT CENTRAL AVENUE THAT'S PROPOSED, AND THIS IS THE
11:31:08AM SUBJECT OF TODAY'S REVIEW IS PROPOSED TO BE 34 FEET AND 6
11:31:13AM INCHES HIGH.
11:31:14AM THE ZONING FOR THIS CATEGORY, ZONING CATEGORY HERE LIMITS
11:31:18AM THE HEIGHT TO 35 FEET IN GENERAL, UNLESS THE PROPERTY --
11:31:27AM UNLESS THE BUILDING IS STEPPED BACK, IN WHICH CASE YOU CAN
11:31:30AM GO UP TO 60 FEET AND STEP BACK ONE FOOT IN THE SETBACK PER
11:31:35AM EVERY FOOT IN HEIGHT EXTRA THAT YOU GO.
11:31:37AM GENERALLY MOST PEOPLE STICK TO THE EASY 35 FEET FOR THESE
11:31:43AM SINGLE-FAMILY PROPERTIES.
11:31:44AM SOME OF THE OTHER BUILDINGS IN THE AREA ARE UP TO 30
11:31:50AM SOMETHING FEET HIGH AS WELL.
11:31:51AM SOME OF THEM ARE SHORTER.
11:31:54AM THERE'S SOME VARIABILITY ALONG THE BLOCK AND ALONG THE
11:31:58AM ADJACENT BLOCKS.
11:31:59AM ANOTHER ITEM THAT THE ARC CONSIDERS FOR CONSISTENCY IN
11:32:09AM REVIEW AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT PROPERTIES IN THE AREA IS HOW
11:32:11AM FAR ABOVE GRADE THEY ARE.
11:32:13AM IS THIS SOMETHING -- THIS IS SOMETHING BROUGHT UP IN THE
11:32:17AM DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION.
11:32:21AM GENERALLY, WE'RE LOOKING AT HISTORIC CONSTRUCTION, YOU'RE
11:32:26AM LOOKING AT HOUSES THAT ARE RAISED A LITTLE BIT ABOVE GRADE,
11:32:29AM USUALLY A COUPLE OF FEET, MAYBE MORE, TWO, TWO AND A HALF
11:32:32AM FEET.
11:32:33AM THIS WAS DONE TO PROVIDE AIR CIRCULATION UNDERNEATH THE
11:32:37AM HOUSE.
11:32:39AM THE SUBJECT SITE WAS PROPOSING, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS
11:32:45AM PROPOSED TO BE BUILT AT TWO AND A HALF FEET ABOVE GRADE.
11:32:52AM THIS COMPARES TO THE ROBLES HOUSE TO THE SOUTH, BEING ABOUT
11:32:59AM TWO AND A HALF FEET ABOVE GRADE, HOUSE TO THE NORTH BEING
11:33:04AM ALMOST THREE FEET ABOVE GRADE.
11:33:07AM PRETTY HIGH UP ONE.
11:33:08AM SOME OF THE NEWER CONSTRUCTION IS A LITTLE BIT LOWER, BUT
11:33:13AM GENERALLY, IT'S ALL AT LEAST A COUPLE OF STEPS UP.
11:33:17AM AT THE JANUARY 8th, 2024 ARC PUBLIC HEARING, THE ARC
11:33:24AM REVIEWED THE STAFF REPORT, WHICH FOUND THE PROJECT TO BE
11:33:26AM CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN
11:33:29AM GUIDELINES WITH CONDITIONS.
11:33:31AM THE CONDITIONS THAT WE HAD IN THE STAFF REPORT WERE
11:33:33AM ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT DURING THE PRESENTATION, AND THE
11:33:38AM ARC MOTION WAS TO GRANT THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
11:33:43AM FOR THE PROJECT WITH SOME CONDITIONS.
11:33:48AM ONE, THAT THE CONDITIONS BE THAT THE APPLICANT CONSIDER
11:33:52AM REPLACING THREE WINDOWS IN EACH OF THE DORMERS INSTEAD OF
11:33:56AM WHAT WAS SHOWN AT THE DESIGN LINE SUBJECT TO THE
11:33:58AM MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED ON THE FLOOR PLAN.
11:34:00AM AND ALSO TO PROVIDE THE GARAGE DOORS ALL SHOWING AS SINGLE
11:34:05AM GARAGE DOORS AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY INSTEAD OF
11:34:07AM HAVING A DOUBLE GARAGE DOOR IN THE BACK.
11:34:10AM AGAIN, THIS WAS A MOTION THAT WAS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY BY
11:34:15AM THE ARC.
11:34:17AM IT'S IMPORTANT, I THINK, TO POINT OUT THAT INITIALLY STAFF
11:34:21AM DID NOT FIND THE INITIAL APPLICATION TO BE CONSISTENT, BUT
11:34:24AM AS WE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, WE
11:34:28AM WERE ABLE TO GIVE IT A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION AND THE ARC
11:34:36AM ALSO FOUND IT TO BE A FAVORABLE APPLICATION.
11:34:38AM SO WITH THAT, I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
11:34:41AM THANK YOU.
11:34:42AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
11:34:42AM NO.
11:34:43AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:34:45AM AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE THE APPLICANT PETITIONER FOR THEIR
11:34:50AM PRESENTATION.
11:34:51AM GOOD MORNING.
11:34:58AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
11:34:59AM >> JASON SOOS.
11:35:00AM HI.
11:35:04AM MY NAME IS JASON SOOS.
11:35:06AM I AM THE PROUD RESIDENT OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2011
11:35:09AM NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE, TWO HOMES DOWN --
11:35:15AM >> CAN WE PLEASE GET SET UP BEFORE YOU START?
11:35:18AM THANK YOU.
11:35:28AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
11:35:29AM YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES.
11:35:31AM IS IT OKAY IF HE BEGINS?
11:35:32AM GO AHEAD, SIR.
11:35:34AM YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES.
11:35:35AM >> MY APOLOGIES, DIVING INTO THIS PROCESS IS A BIT LIKE
11:35:39AM GOING TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
11:35:40AM HEADS-UP, MY TESTIMONY MAY NOT BE AS POLISHED AS YOU MAY
11:35:44AM HEAR FROM OTHERS TODAY.
11:35:45AM COMMERCIAL BANKING IS MY DAY JOB, NOT ARCHITECTURE.
11:35:48AM DESPITE BEING A NEWCOMER TO THE SCENE, I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE
11:35:52AM FLOOR TODAY.
11:35:53AM I AM A LITTLE DISTURBED AND DISAPPOINTED WE WEREN'T ABLE TO
11:35:57AM HANDLE THIS ADMINISTRATIVELY.
11:35:58AM I THINK IT IS A WASTE OF EVERYBODY'S TIME.
11:36:00AM THESE THINGS SHOULD BE HANDLED THAT WAY.
11:36:02AM BECAUSE OF THE CLARITY OUTLINED IN THE CITY CODE OF
11:36:05AM ORDINANCES IN CHAPTER 27 SECTION 115 ON THIS MATTER.
11:36:08AM IN 2017 OUR COMMUNITY CAME TOGETHER TO REQUEST THE COUNCIL'S
11:36:13AM ASSISTANCE IN PRESERVING THE HISTORICAL CHARM OF OUR STREET
11:36:15AM AMISS NEW CONSTRUCTION.
11:36:18AM THE ISSUE AT HAND THEN WAS THE ARC WAS NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH
11:36:21AM ON KEY DESIGN CRITERIA SPECIFICALLY REGARDING PROPER
11:36:27AM SETBACKS FOR NEW BUILDINGS IN RELATION TO ADJACENT ONES.
11:36:30AM THANKFULLY THE COUNCIL TOOK ACTION TO REINFORCE THE CODE
11:36:33AM INTEGRITY MAKING CLEAR THAT ADJACENT MUST BE INTERPRETED AS
11:36:36AM IT IS TRULY MEANT.
11:36:37AM THE DECISION WAS CRUCIAL, PREVENTING ANY LOOSE
11:36:41AM INTERPRETATIONS THAT COULD DILUTE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS OR
11:36:44AM SET MISLEADING PRECEDENCE FOR THE FUTURE.
11:36:46AM IT'S A MATTER OF KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY'S CHARACTER INTACT.
11:36:50AM THE REASON I BRING THAT UP TODAY BECAUSE IT HITS HOME
11:36:55AM PERSONALLY FOR ME.
11:36:55AM I'M THE ONE THAT LIVES IN THE HOUSE THAT WAS PART OF THE
11:36:58AM 2017 APPEAL.
11:36:59AM EVERY TIME I DRIVE -- GO INTO MY DRIVEWAY, I SEE MY KIDS
11:37:03AM PLAYING IN THE FRONT YARD, HAVING COFFEE ON THE FRONT PORCH.
11:37:05AM I'M REMINDED OF THE COMMUNITY'S EFFORTS BACK THEN.
11:37:08AM IT IS THE REASON I'M HERE TODAY AND THE REASON I'M
11:37:11AM PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS.
11:37:12AM JUST SO EVERYONE IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, WE HAVE ZERO ISSUES WITH
11:37:16AM THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY, THE ADU THAT'S
11:37:20AM ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND THE STYLE OF THE BUILDING.
11:37:23AM WE ARE EXCITED TO WELCOME THE APPLICANTS BACK TO THE
11:37:25AM NEIGHBORHOOD AND I'LL PERSONALLY BENEFIT GREATLY WHEN THIS
11:37:28AM NEW CONSTRUCTION GOES IN, WHETHER YOU APPROVE IT OR NOT.
11:37:31AM ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS THAT ALL NEW CONSTRUCTION HAVE A
11:37:35AM CONSISTENT PROCESS THAT IS -- THAT DIRECTLY ADHERES TO
11:37:38AM SECTION 115 MENTIONED EARLIER.
11:37:41AM IF IT DOESN'T, THEN FALSE PRECEDENCES FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
11:37:45AM WILL SET FORTH.
11:37:47AM YOU'LL SEE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT'S COMING IN 2025 TO THE
11:37:51AM NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:37:51AM IT WILL DESTROY THE HISTORIC FABRIC TYING THE CHEMISTRY OF
11:37:54AM THE OLD AND THE NEW HOMES TOGETHER IN OUR COMMUNITY.
11:37:57AM ON JANUARY 8, 2024, THE ARC APPROVED THE PROPOSED PROJECT
11:38:02AM FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: THE DETAILING MASS ON THIS LARGE
11:38:05AM LOT ARE CONSISTENT WITH CONDITIONS FOUND IN THE LARGER
11:38:09AM DISTRICT.
11:38:10AM JUST LIKE 2017, THIS IS NOT HOW WE READ THE CODE INTENDED TO
11:38:14AM IMPLEMENT THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO PRESERVATION ON THIS
11:38:17AM HISTORICAL -- AND HISTORICAL DISTRICTS.
11:38:19AM SECTION -- CHAPTER 25, SECTION 115, SUBSECTION L IS CLEAR AS
11:38:25AM DAY ON THIS MATTER.
11:38:26AM NEW CONSTRUCTION SHALL BE COMPATIBLE WITH SCALE, MATERIALS,
11:38:30AM AND QUALITY CONSTRUCTION WITH ADJACENT BUILDING STRUCTURES
11:38:34AM THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED.
11:38:36AM NEW CONSTRUCTION MUST COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION EVEN IF THE
11:38:41AM SECTION REQUIRES DEVELOPMENT OR CONSTRUCTION THAT IS MORE
11:38:45AM RESTRICTIVE THAN APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS FOUND ELSEWHERE IN
11:38:49AM THE LARGER DISTRICT.
11:38:51AM THE THREE-STORY HOME -- I HEARD TWO-STORY, WHEN YOU HAVE AN
11:38:55AM ELEVATOR THAT YOU CAN PRESS THE NUMBER THREE, THAT IS A
11:38:57AM THREE-STORY IN MY BOOK AND I'M NOT AN ARCHITECT -- IS
11:39:01AM ADJACENT TO FOUR ONE-STORY HOMES AND ONE TWO-STORY HOME THAT
11:39:06AM IS NOT COMPATIBLE IN SCALE.
11:39:07AM TWO OF THE ADJACENT HOMES ARE HISTORIC.
11:39:10AM IN ADDITION, THERE ARE NO CONTRIBUTING OR NONCONTRIBUTING
11:39:13AM THREE-STORY HOMES LOCATED NORTH OF CENTRAL AVENUE -- OR
11:39:17AM NORTH OF COLUMBUS DRIVE WHICH IS ZONED SINGLE-FAMILY
11:39:20AM HOUSING.
11:39:21AM THE ARC'S APPROVAL COMMENTS ON THIS PROJECT BEING COMPARABLE
11:39:24AM TO OTHERS IN THE LARGER AREA, IT'S NOT ADJACENT.
11:39:29AM THIS IS CLEARLY JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE ARC NOT
11:39:32AM FOLLOWING THE RULES THAT ARE LAID OUT IN FRONT OF THEM.
11:39:34AM WHILE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE APPLICANT THROUGHOUT
11:39:36AM THIS PROCESS AND WELCOMED, VERY WELCOMED, BY THE WAY, THE
11:39:40AM MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES NEEDED TO ADHERE TO SECTION 115 ON
11:39:45AM MASSING AND SCALE HAVE NOT BEEN CONSIDERED OR ADDRESSED.
11:39:47AM LASTLY, I MUST HIGHLIGHT A SIGNIFICANT OVERSIGHT RELATED TO
11:39:51AM SECTION 115, A BREACH CONCERNING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS
11:39:55AM FOR THE HEARING MENTIONED ON NOVEMBER 8, 2023.
11:39:58AM OUR TEAM RAISED IMPORTANT CONCERNS AND ISSUES DURING THE
11:40:04AM PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND OUR INPUT WAS MET WITH CONFUSION
11:40:08AM FOR THE PEOPLE SITTING IN THE CHAIRS YOU'RE IN TODAY.
11:40:10AM I THOUGHT I HAD THREE HEADS.
11:40:12AM THE CONFUSION STEMMED FROM A LAST-MINUTE DESIGN UPDATE
11:40:16AM SHARED WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE AND THE
11:40:18AM PUBLIC A MERE 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE SCHEDULED DISCUSSION
11:40:21AM LEAVING NO ROOM FOR PROPER ASSESSMENT.
11:40:23AM THIS PROCEDURAL LAPSE WAS COMPOUNDED WHEN THE ARC MANAGER
11:40:27AM ALLOWED THE REVISED PLANS SUBMITTED ON THE DAY OF THE
11:40:31AM HEARING TO BE INTRODUCED WITHOUT PROPER NOTICE.
11:40:34AM ONLY REVEALING THE NOVELTY TO THE PUBLIC AFTER THE PUBLIC
11:40:38AM COMMENT PERIOD HAD ENDED.
11:40:40AM IN ADDITION TO BEING EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED FOR SOMEONE
11:40:42AM GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT'S AN
11:40:46AM ACTION THAT BREACHES SECTION 115 WHICH CLEARLY REQUIRES ALL
11:40:49AM FINAL DOCUMENTS TO BE SUBMITTED AT LEAST 14 DAYS BEFORE A
11:40:54AM HEARING, MARKING A CLEAR AND SIGNIFICANT VIOLATION OF RULES.
11:40:57AM THIS IS OVERSIGHT NOT ONLY UNDERMINED THE INTEGRITY OF THE
11:41:01AM PUBLIC COMMENTARY PROCESS, MAKING OUR POSITION APPEAR
11:41:03AM UNFOUND AND DISORGANIZED, BUT IT ALSO BROUGHT UNDUE
11:41:08AM PREJUDICE AGAINST OUR CREDIBILITY.
11:41:10AM THIS FURTHER UNDERSCORES THE NEED FOR THIS PROJECT TO BE
11:41:14AM REASSESSED BY ARC ENSURING DUE PROCESS AND COMMUNITY
11:41:17AM ENGAGEMENT ARE NOT ONLY OBSERVED BUT RESPECTED.
11:41:19AM I'LL LET MY COLLEAGUE MARY TAKE OVER FROM HERE.
11:41:22AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, MA'AM.
11:41:23AM >> MY NAME IS MARY McCAHON.
11:41:26AM 2812 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE.
11:41:28AM I CAN'T FIND MY NOTES.
11:41:29AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:41:35AM AS JASON POINTED OUT, ARC APPROVED THE NEW HOUSE FOR
11:41:42AM DETAILING AND MASSING CONSISTENCY WITH THE GUIDELINES.
11:41:46AM THOSE ARE DISTRACTIONS FROM WHAT IS THE REAL ELEPHANT IN THE
11:41:50AM ROOM.
11:41:50AM ARC DID NOT FOLLOW ITS OWN CODIFIED PROCEDURES AND
11:41:54AM GUIDELINES.
11:41:54AM IT RENDERED ITS DECISION WITHOUT SUFFICIENT FACTUAL
11:41:58AM INFORMATION AND WITHOUT APPLYING THE GUIDELINES AS THEY WERE
11:42:01AM INTENDED.
11:42:03AM STAFF REPEATEDLY STATED AT EACH -- FOR EACH OF THE FOUR
11:42:07AM ITERATIONS OF THE PLANS THAT THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE
11:42:10AM GUIDELINES.
11:42:11AM SAYING SO DOESN'T MAKE IT THAT WAY.
11:42:13AM THE THREE PUBLIC HEARINGS GENERATED MUCH DISINFORMATION.
11:42:18AM BECAUSE SO MANY REMAIN UNADDRESSED, WE REQUEST THAT THE
11:42:20AM PROJECT BE REMANDED BACK TO ARC AND THAT THE STAFF AND THE
11:42:25AM COMMISSIONERS BE INSTRUCTED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE
11:42:29AM NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS.
11:42:30AM TODAY WE FOCUS ON TWO ISSUES THAT HAVE THE MOST IMPACT ON
11:42:33AM MAKING THIS DESIGN -- THIS THREE-STORY HOUSE DESIGN
11:42:37AM CONSISTENT WITH 115 IN THE GUIDELINES.
11:42:39AM NUMBER ONE IS THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING AND NUMBER TWO IS
11:42:43AM THE FORM OF THE ROOF.
11:42:45AM THE LOCATION MAP, DESPITE ITS CLAIMS, ARC'S CLAIMS, NOTHING
11:42:50AM UNUSUAL ABOUT THE FRONTAGE OF AN 80-FOOT LOT ON CENTRAL
11:42:53AM AVENUE.
11:42:53AM THE MAP SHOWS THAT WE HAVE LARGE LOTS, SOME OF THEM ARE
11:42:56AM QUITE LARGE, AND SOME OF THE LARGE LOTS EVEN HAVE SMALL
11:42:59AM HOUSES ON THEM.
11:43:01AM LOT SIZE DOES NOT INFLUENCE COMPATIBILITY OF SCALING AND
11:43:05AM MASS.
11:43:06AM ARC ROUTINELY APPROVED HOUSES WITH SIMILAR 34 TO 55-FOOT
11:43:10AM FOOTPRINTS ON LOTS NARROW AS 50 FEET.
11:43:13AM THE MAP ALSO SHOWS THE HISTORIC HOUSES MARKED IN BLUE.
11:43:17AM SO -- THE MAP STILL PLEASE.
11:43:21AM SO THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THE SETTING, THE WHOLE BLOCK
11:43:25AM AND THE SETTING ARE NOT DEVOID OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS.
11:43:28AM THE EFFECT OF THE SCALE OF THE NEW BUILDING ALSO NEEDS TO BE
11:43:33AM ADDRESSED PER THE GUIDELINES.
11:43:34AM JASON DISCUSSED THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF BUILDINGS.
11:43:38AM THAT THERE ARE ADJACENT BUILDINGS.
11:43:41AM ALL DESIGN AND PRESERVATION PROFESSIONALS KNOW OR SHOULD
11:43:44AM KNOW THAT SCALE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR
11:43:46AM BLENDING NEW BUILDINGS IN AN HISTORIC SETTING.
11:43:50AM YOU HAVE SHOWN THAT YOU KNOW THAT TOO FROM YOUR PREVIOUS
11:43:53AM DECISIONS.
11:43:53AM THOSE WHO WROTE THE CODE SURE KNEW IT.
11:43:56AM THAT'S WHY SCALE IS THE FIRST LISTED NEW CONSTRUCTION
11:43:59AM CRITERIA AND IS THE ONLY ONE TO SPECIFY BEING SIMILAR IN
11:44:03AM HEIGHT TO BUILDINGS ON ADJACENT SITES.
11:44:06AM WHETHER THOSE BUILDINGS ARE HISTORIC OR NOT TO THE ADJACENT
11:44:10AM BUILDING.
11:44:11AM WHEN THE SCALE AND THE MASS OF THE THREE-STORY BUILDING IS
11:44:15AM SO MARKEDLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES, NONE OF
11:44:19AM THE DETAILING IS COMPATIBLE CAN MITIGATE ITS INTRUSIVE
11:44:23AM EFFECT.
11:44:24AM HERE YOU SEE AND YOU REMEMBER THE COMMENTS, FIVE BUILDINGS,
11:44:28AM FOUR ONE-STORY, ONE IS TWO STORY.
11:44:30AM THE GUIDELINES CLEARLY STATE, AND THIS IS THE WHOLE
11:44:33AM ARGUMENT, THAT IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO ADD NEW BUILDINGS
11:44:37AM SIMILAR IN HEIGHT TO THE BUILDINGS ON ADJACENT SITES.
11:44:40AM AND THAT'S ANY.
11:44:43AM AND IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE TO ADD ONES THAT DO NOT MAINTAIN
11:44:46AM OR BLEND WITH THE HEIGHTS OF BUILDINGS ON ADJACENT SITES.
11:44:50AM WITH THIS CLEAR GUIDANCE, IT'S HARD TO RECONCILE HOW A
11:44:53AM THREE-STORY HOUSE, AT LEAST 36 FEET HIGH, CAN BE FOUND
11:44:58AM SIMILAR IN HEIGHT TO THE ADJACENT ONE AND TWO STORY
11:45:00AM BUILDINGS.
11:45:00AM IT'S MORE CHALLENGING TO COMPREHEND WHEN THE STAFF REPORT
11:45:05AM FOR THE HEARING WHEN THIS WAS APPROVED IS STILL ASKING THE
11:45:08AM APPLICANT, AND I QUOTE, TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THE SCALE AND
11:45:11AM HEIGHT OF MASSING OF THE STRUCTURE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE
11:45:15AM PATTERN IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
11:45:17AM THAT DEMONSTRATION IS IMPOSSIBLE AND NEVER HAPPENED BECAUSE
11:45:21AM THERE ARE NO HISTORIC THREE-STORY HOUSES IN THE DISTRICT LET
11:45:25AM ALONE ON THE BLOCK OR OF THE FIVE ADJACENT BUILDINGS.
11:45:29AM MASSING AND VOLUME -- MASSING, EXCUSE ME, ADDS SCALE TO
11:45:35AM VOLUME.
11:45:36AM IT BRINGS THE HEIGHT AND WIDTH INTO THREE DIMENSIONAL BULK.
11:45:40AM THE LINE DIAGRAM GRAPHICALLY SHOWS HOW OUT OF WHACK THE
11:45:46AM MASSING OF THE THREE-STORY STRUCTURE IS WITH ITS NEIGHBORS.
11:45:49AM IT'S MORE THAN TWICE AS HIGH AS THE TWO HOUSES TO THE NORTH
11:45:52AM AND 16 FEET HIGHER THAN THE HOUSE TO THE SOUTH.
11:45:55AM ACCORDING TO THE CRITERIA, IT SHOULD BE USING THE MASS AND
11:45:59AM FORM OF SIMILAR AND ADJACENT BUILDINGS.
11:46:03AM THAT INDICATES CONSISTENCY HERE, JUST LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE,
11:46:08AM IS AT MOST A TWO-STORY HOUSE WITH A SHALLOWER PITCHED ROOF
11:46:11AM AND NO DORMERS.
11:46:12AM THE DIAGRAM CONFIRMS THAT THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE IS ALSO
11:46:17AM HIGHER THAN THE STEEP ROOF ON THE HISTORIC ROBLES HOUSE THAT
11:46:21AM WAS ACTUALLY USED AS THE PRECEDENT.
11:46:26AM AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IN THE BLUE HOUSE IN THE TOP CORNER,
11:46:32AM AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S NOT THE MAIN ROOF.
11:46:36AM IT'S JUST OVER A SMALL ADDITION, ALBEIT AN EARLY ONE.
11:46:40AM ALSO NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO DORMERS.
11:46:42AM WITHOUT ACCURATE INFORMATION, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE FACTS,
11:46:47AM ARC USED THIS ROOF SNIPPET TO JUSTIFY THE THREE-STORY MASS
11:46:52AM OF THE NEW HOUSE BECAUSE IT HAS THE VOLUME AND IT COULD BE A
11:46:56AM THIRD FLOOR, EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED, THE COMMISSIONERS,
11:47:00AM THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW IF IT WAS A THREE-STORY HOUSE OR NOT.
11:47:04AM IT'S NOT.
11:47:06AM I LIVE IN ONE OF THESE BIG HOUSES AND IT'S NOT A THREE-STORY
11:47:09AM HOUSE EITHER.
11:47:10AM NONE OF THE HISTORIC HOUSES WITH HIGH ROOFS HAVE THREE
11:47:14AM STORIES.
11:47:15AM OUR HIGH ROOFS WERE CLIMATICALLY BASED AND THOUGH THEY HAVE
11:47:19AM VOLUME, THEY ARE UNFINISHED, UNCONDITIONED ATTICS.
11:47:24AM ANY DORMERS OR CROSS GABLES WERE FOR ATTIC VENTILATION AND
11:47:29AM ILLUMINATION, NOT HABITATION.
11:47:31AM AGAIN, HISTORIC PRECEDENT IS ABSENT.
11:47:34AM THERE ARE NO DORMERS ON THE GABLE ROOFED HOUSES NORTH OF
11:47:38AM COLUMBUS DRIVE FOR ANY PERIOD SAVE FOR ONE BUNGALOW AND
11:47:43AM THERE ARE NO DORMERS OF THE SHAPE PROPOSED ANYWHERE IN THE
11:47:46AM DISTRICT AND I MIGHT ADD MAYBE ANYWHERE.
11:47:48AM YET, DOZENS -- THE DOZENS OF INFILL HOUSES WITH GABLED ROOFS
11:47:55AM BUILT AFTER 2000 WHEN THE GUIDELINES WERE ADAPTED FOR TAMPA
11:47:59AM HEIGHTS, PROVES THAT HONORING THE GUIDELINES WORKS WELL.
11:48:04AM THESE, AND MANY OTHERS, ARE CONSISTENT IN SCALE, MASSING,
11:48:09AM AND ROOF FORM.
11:48:10AM THEY FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE SPECIAL VISUAL AND SPATIAL
11:48:16AM QUALITIES OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT WAS ESTABLISHED TO
11:48:18AM PROTECT AS DEFINED IN 115.
11:48:21AM AT THE HEARING, ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS SAID -- I'M SORRY.
11:48:33AM YOU'LL HAVE TO BELIEVE -- OH, IT IS THERE.
11:48:35AM I'M SORRY.
11:48:35AM OKAY.
11:48:36AM AT THE HEARING, ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS SAID WE DON'T WANT
11:48:40AM TO APPROVE A PROJECT THAT IS UNBUILDABLE BECAUSE IT'S ABOVE
11:48:44AM ZONING.
11:48:44AM THAT WAS COMMISSIONER PROKOP.
11:48:46AM WELL, THEY DID IT ANYWAY.
11:48:49AM THERE IS A CITY FORMULA FOR DEFINING THE REQUIRED FINISHED
11:48:54AM FLOOR, FINISHED GRADE, AND THIS DESIGN DOES NOT COMPLY WITH
11:48:57AM IT.
11:48:57AM THE ARCHITECT ADMITTED ON THE RECORD THAT THE HEIGHT WAS
11:49:00AM FOUNDED INCORRECTLY AND IT IS A FOOT OR TWO HIGHER THAN WHAT
11:49:05AM RS 50 ZONING ALLOWS, 35 FEET.
11:49:08AM ALL THIS INFORMATION YOU CAN SEE OUR FIGURING, MY FIGURING
11:49:14AM WAS ON THE PLANS, AND IT WAS CALLED OUT AT THE MEETING.
11:49:18AM YET THE APPROVAL HAS NO CONDITIONS ADDRESSING THIS SPECIFIC
11:49:23AM PROBLEM.
11:49:23AM IN CLOSING, WE CANNOT PRESERVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT YOUR
11:49:31AM ASSISTANCE.
11:49:31AM WE'VE COME BEFORE YOU AND YOU HAVE BEEN PATIENT WITH US.
11:49:36AM WE ARE HUMBLED AND WE ARE GRATEFUL.
11:49:38AM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
11:49:41AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:49:42AM DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION?
11:49:45AM >> YES.
11:49:45AM WE'LL HAVE A REBUTTAL AT THE END.
11:49:47AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:49:48AM NEXT UP WE HAVE THE PROPERTY OWNER, AND THEY HAVE -- YES,
11:49:52AM SIR.
11:49:52AM GOOD MORNING, SIR.
11:49:55AM >> HEY, GOOD MORNING.
11:49:55AM MY NAME IS MALCOLM WELLS.
11:49:57AM I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF CEDRIC AND DAVINA CARRINGTON.
11:50:05AM HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY.
11:50:07AM HOPEFULLY YOU'LL HEAR ME.
11:50:08AM IF AN ATTIC WAS A FLOOR, IT WOULD BE CALLED A FLOOR.
11:50:17AM THE FIRST FLOOR IS CALLED THE FIRST FLOOR.
11:50:20AM SECOND FLOOR IS CALLED A SECOND FLOOR.
11:50:22AM THE ATTIC IS CALLED THE ATTIC.
11:50:25AM NOW THERE'S BEEN GREAT ISSUE THAT DEALS WITH THESE ELEVATOR.
11:50:32AM ELEVATOR GOES THROUGH NUMBER THREE, RIGHT.
11:50:34AM WELL, THE ELEVATOR GOES TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
11:50:37AM THEN IT GOES TO THE ATTIC.
11:50:39AM IT DOES NOT GO TO THE THIRD FLOOR.
11:50:41AM WHAT WE HAVE IS JUST A COMPLETED OR FINISHED THIRD FLOOR.
11:50:46AM NOW, IT CAN GO UNFINISHED AND THE HEIGHT WON'T CHANGE.
11:50:52AM IT WILL BE AN ATTIC.
11:50:55AM THE PETITIONER IS TRYING TO SAY THAT IT'S A THIRD FLOOR
11:51:00AM SIMPLY BECAUSE THE ELEVATOR GOES TO IT.
11:51:02AM IF I CAN, THE CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE NOW, NONCONFORMING
11:51:13AM STRUCTURE, SO IT BRINGS NOTHING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:51:15AM IT IF ANYTHING BRINGS THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOWN, FORGIVE ME FOR
11:51:18AM THAT, BUT IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT, THE ARC WHICH IS
11:51:24AM SUPPORTED BY TAMPA AS THE EXPERTS, THE CONTENT EXPERTS, HAS
11:51:32AM SAID THIS STRUCTURE IS CONFORMING.
11:51:35AM WHAT YOUR DECISION IS, DO YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT UPLIFTS
11:51:42AM THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR DO YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT PULLS DOWN
11:51:44AM THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
11:51:45AM NOW, WHAT WAS INTERESTING TO ME IS ON 2715 THERE WAS A POINT
11:51:54AM OF SAYING THE IMMEDIATE HOUSES IS IMPORTANT.
11:51:59AM OF COURSE, IT IS.
11:52:00AM BUT SOMETIMES WHAT HAPPENS IS, PEOPLE TAKE A BITE OF THE
11:52:08AM APPLE, BUT THEY DON'T LET YOU SEE THE WHOLE THING.
11:52:10AM THE OTHER SIDE MIGHT BE RIGHT, BUT THEY WANT YOU TO BITE THE
11:52:13AM GOOD SIDE.
11:52:15AM IN ALL IT'S A BAD APPLE.
11:52:17AM YOU READ IT, IT SAYS WHEN ADVOCATE WISHES TO UNDERTAKE NEW
11:52:22AM CONSTRUCTION IN HISTORIC DISTRICT, MOST FOLKS DESIGNATED TO
11:52:25AM HISTORIC CONSERVATION OVERLAY DISTRICT ON A LANDMARK SITE.
11:52:29AM ARC SHALL CONSIDER THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE NEW CONSTRUCTION
11:52:32AM WITH THE EXISTING CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT.
11:52:36AM SHE SAID THAT NOTHING MATTERS, BUT HER STREET, THAT LITTLE
11:52:43AM AREA.
11:52:45AM BUT THE SAME NEWLY CODE SHE QUOTED 27-115 SAYS IT'S THE
11:52:50AM DISTRICT.
11:52:51AM YOU ALREADY HEARD FROM THE ARC THAT THE DISTRICT HAS HOUSES
11:52:54AM THAT ARE SIMILAR IN CHARACTER TO THE HOUSE THAT THE
11:53:00AM CARRINGTONS WANT TO BUILD.
11:53:02AM I DIDN'T BRING ALL THE FANCY MAPS, SO I'LL SHOW THIS.
11:53:07AM I WENT ON ZILLOW AND USED THE BUTTON.
11:53:16AM YOU CAN SEE AMAZING THINGS.
11:53:17AM WHAT I SAW IS WHAT THE PETITIONER IS TALKING ABOUT, IF YOU
11:53:24AM FACE 2813 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE, TO THE LEFT, SHE IS CORRECT.
11:53:28AM THOSE ARE ONE-STORY HOUSES.
11:53:30AM BUT IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT, 2,811.5, 2812, WHICH IS MR.
11:53:38AM SOOS' HOUSE, OKAY, THAT IS A TWO-STORY HOUSE.
11:53:46AM NEXT TO HIS IS THE ROBLES HOUSE, INITIAL HOUSE, THAT IS A
11:53:50AM TWO-STORY HOUSE.
11:53:51AM IF YOU GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, THE PETITIONER,
11:53:55AM MS. McCAHON, HER HOUSE IS A TWO-STORY HOUSE.
11:54:01AM THE HOUSE NEXT TO HERS IS A TWO-STORY HOUSE.
11:54:04AM THEN IT IS A ONE-STORY HOUSE.
11:54:06AM ANOTHER TWO-STORY HOUSE.
11:54:07AM SO ON THAT STREET, ON THAT BLOCK ARE FIVE TWO-STORY HOUSES.
11:54:12AM SO IF THE ARGUMENT IS THAT THREE-STORY HOUSE, NO, IT IS A
11:54:18AM TWO-STORY HOUSE WITH AN ATTIC.
11:54:21AM THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
11:54:22AM IT BECOMES WITHIN THE HEIGHT.
11:54:23AM IF YOU LOOK AT 27-156 TABLE 4-2, THIS IS RS-50 HOUSE.
11:54:32AM THE RS-50 HOUSE CAN BE 35 FEET.
11:54:36AM THE ARC HAS ALREADY SAID IT'S 34 FEET AND A COUPLE OF
11:54:41AM INCHES.
11:54:41AM THEY FOUND THAT WE WERE RIGHT AND EVERYBODY, THERE ARE FIVE
11:54:47AM HOUSES CURRENTLY THAT ARE TWO FLOORS.
11:54:49AM WHAT I WOULD ASK IS INCLUDING THE PETITIONER'S HOUSE, MY
11:54:56AM CLIENT -- MY FRIEND NOT BE IMMUNE TO BEING ALLOWED TO HAVE
11:55:02AM HIS HOME TWO STORIES ALSO.
11:55:04AM NOW, GOING AFTER ME WILL BE JEREL McCANTS, THE ARCHITECT,
11:55:16AM WHO LUCKILY ENOUGH, DID MR. SOOS' HOUSE.
11:55:20AM I THINK HE HAS A BIT MORE INFORMATION THAT WILL HELP YOU
11:55:26AM MAKE WHAT I HOPE IS A GOOD DECISION.
11:55:28AM THANK YOU.
11:55:30AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, SIR.
11:55:31AM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
11:55:32AM JEREL McCANTS, THE ARCHITECT AND AGENT FOR MR. CARRINGTON.
11:55:36AM I PRACTICE ARCHITECTURE IN THE AREA FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
11:55:41AM DESIGNED SEVERAL HOUSES IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICTS,
11:55:44AM ESPECIALLY IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
11:55:45AM I ACTUALLY OPERATE MY OFFICE OUT OF AN HISTORIC HOUSE THAT'S
11:55:50AM CONTRIBUTED IN VM YBOR.
11:55:51AM I WAS THE ARCHITECT FOR THE PREVIOUS HOUSES THAT THE
11:55:57AM PETITIONER SOOS OCCUPIES RIGHT NOW AND THE OTHER HOUSE
11:56:00AM DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH.
11:56:01AM I DESIGNED ABOUT A HALF DOZEN HOUSES IN THAT AREA.
11:56:04AM I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE ARC GUIDELINES AND DESIGNING
11:56:09AM TOWARDS SECTION 27-15 -- 27-115 AND 27-272.
11:56:14AM AS THE STAFF HAD PROVIDED YOU CONTEXT ABOUT THE
11:56:21AM MODIFICATIONS WE'VE DONE, WE DID DO SEVERAL MODIFICATIONS AS
11:56:24AM WE PRESENTED AND STARTED THIS PROCESS BACK IN JULY OF 2023.
11:56:27AM WE SUBMITTED AND HAD THE HEARING IN SEPTEMBER AND THEN THERE
11:56:31AM WERE A NUMBER OF CONDITIONS AND THERE WAS A LOT OF
11:56:35AM NEIGHBORHOOD COORDINATION THAT WE TOOK INTO ACCOUNT.
11:56:38AM ABOUT 20 SOME ODD CONDITIONS THAT WE WERE FACED WITH IN THAT
11:56:42AM FIRST HEARING.
11:56:43AM WHEN I HAVE GONE THROUGH THE HEARINGS IN THE PAST, USUALLY
11:56:45AM TAKES TWO HEARINGS TO GO THROUGH INITIAL REVIEW AND THEN GET
11:56:48AM THE APPROVAL.
11:56:49AM THIS HAS GONE THROUGH THREE HEARINGS.
11:56:51AM WE HAD TO DO THE SAME THING WITH 2811 AND 2811.5 BEFORE
11:56:55AM MR. SOOS OCCUPIED IT, BUT WE HAD THE SAME OPPOSITION SEVERAL
11:56:58AM YEARS AGO WITH THE SAME PETITIONER.
11:57:00AM WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS BEFORE.
11:57:04AM AFTER WE HAD THE FIRST HEARING, SINCE I AM FAMILIAR WITH ONE
11:57:07AM OF THE PETITIONERS, MARY MCCAHON, I HAD A VIRTUAL MEETING
11:57:12AM WITH HER MYSELF TO TRY TO RESOLVE ANY CONFLICTS WHERE SHE
11:57:15AM PRESENTED ABOUT AN EIGHT-PAGE CONFLICTS THAT SHE HAD
11:57:20AM PRESENTED TO ME THAT I CAN PRESENT.
11:57:23AM I KNOW WE'RE SHORT ON TIME.
11:57:25AM BUT THOSE, SOME OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE DOUBLE GALLERY,
11:57:30AM TWO PORCHES, PORCH WITH A BALCONY UP FRONT.
11:57:32AM HER HOUSE HAS A HALF BALCONY THAT IS THE ONLY HOUSE THAT HAS
11:57:38AM THAT ON THE ENTIRE BLOCK.
11:57:40AM WE DID REMOVE THAT AND THEN CONFORM WITH SOME OTHER SITE
11:57:44AM CONDITIONS THAT SOME OTHER NEIGHBORS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT.
11:57:46AM WE WENT AHEAD AND SUBMITTED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER, AND THEN WE
11:57:50AM HAD A LOT OF THOSE CONDITIONS RECTIFIED, BUT WE STILL HAD
11:57:54AM ABOUT SEVEN OR SO, LESS THAN A THIRD COMMENTS FROM THE ARC
11:58:00AM BOARD AND THE STAFF AND SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS WHICH
11:58:06AM OBVIOUSLY I THINK A LOT HAD BEEN SATISFIED.
11:58:09AM ONLY REALLY OUT OF THE FIRST NUMBER DRASTICALLY REDUCED FOR
11:58:12AM AMOUNT OF NEIGHBORS THAT HAD OPPOSITION TO THE ORIGINAL
11:58:15AM SUBMISSION.
11:58:16AM THUS WE DID PRESENT AGAIN IN JANUARY TO RESOLVE THOSE SEVEN
11:58:22AM OR SO CONDITIONS, AND WAS GRANTED APPROVAL ON JANUARY 10 OF
11:58:28AM THIS YEAR.
11:58:28AM THAT'S WHEN THE PETITION WAS FOUND -- WAS FILED FOR MARY
11:58:33AM McCAHON AND JASON SOOS.
11:58:34AM AS ARCHITECT THAT HAS EXPERIENCE WITH UNDERSTANDING HEIGHTS
11:58:40AM AND SCALE, SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PRESENTED WAS
11:58:42AM INACCURATE.
11:58:45AM I UNDERSTAND HEIGHT, SCALE, VOLUME, AND ALL THE HOUSES WE'VE
11:58:48AM DONE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT HAVE MET THE STANDARDS AND
11:58:51AM HAVE ADDED TO THE HISTORIC CRAFTSMAN STYLE THAT WE DESIGN
11:58:55AM IN.
11:58:58AM IT'S A LITTLE DISCONCERTING THAT SOME OF THE INFORMATION WAS
11:59:00AM INACCURATE THAT WAS PRESENTED PREVIOUSLY.
11:59:02AM WE MET EVERY CONDITION UNDER 27-115 TO ALLOW IT TO BE
11:59:07AM GRANTED CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AND FOLLOW THE
11:59:11AM PROCEDURES AND POLICIES DEFINED WITHIN.
11:59:15AM CEDRIC, ACTUALLY THE CLIENT WILL FINISH THE PRESENTATION
11:59:18AM HERE.
11:59:20AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
11:59:21AM >> I AM CEDRIC CARRINGTON.
11:59:23AM ESTEEMED CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION, I AM
11:59:28AM CEDRIC CARRINGTON, A TAMPA NATIVE WHO RECENTLY RETURNED HOME
11:59:32AM AFTER THREE-YEAR FINAL ARMY ASSIGNMENT ABROAD.
11:59:36AM AS YOU MAY KNOW, I ENDEAVOR TO BUILD A HOME IN THE TAMPA
11:59:39AM HEIGHTS DISTRICT.
11:59:40AM IF ANYONE CAN APPRECIATE THE GEM THAT TAMPA HEIGHTS IS AND
11:59:45AM THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ITS PRESERVATION, I AM UNIQUELY
11:59:48AM QUALIFIED TO CONTRIBUTE TO AND ENHANCE ITS LEGACY.
11:59:51AM FEW PEOPLE SHARE A LEVEL OF HISTORY, APPRECIATION, AND
11:59:54AM CONNECTION TO TAMPA HEIGHTS COMPARABLE TO MINE.
11:59:57AM I WAS LITERALLY BORN AND RAISED AT THE PROPERTY LOCATION
12:00:00PM WHERE I SEEK YOUR APPROVAL TO BUILD.
12:00:02PM CENTRAL AVENUE IS IMPORTANT TO ME, TO MY FAMILY, TO MY
12:00:06PM COMMUNITY WITH THE RICH HISTORY THAT WE CONTRIBUTED TO AS
12:00:09PM RESIDENTS.
12:00:10PM IN 1967, MY FOLKS PURCHASED A VACANT LOT ON CENTRAL AVENUE
12:00:13PM AND BUILT A MODEST DUPLEX.
12:00:16PM IT COMFORTABLY HOUSED US AND CHERISH MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
12:00:19PM OF GROWING UP THERE, CLIMBING THE TOWERING OAKS ON THE
12:00:23PM PROPERTY AND RUNNING AROUND ENDLESSLY IN THE SPACIOUS
12:00:26PM BACKYARD.
12:00:27PM I CAN RECALL THE SLEEPY ROBLES SUBDIVISION AT NIGHT WITH THE
12:00:30PM SOUND OF CARS DRIVING ON THE BRICK ROAD LULLED ME TO SLEEP
12:00:34PM AS A KID.
12:00:35PM AS FAMILY EXPANDED OUTGREW THE THREE BEDROOM NORTHERN UNIT
12:00:38PM AND BUILT A NEW HOME WHERE OUR MOTHER CURRENTLY RESIDES.
12:00:41PM EVEN AFTER WE MOVED FROM CENTRAL AVENUE, WE NEVER
12:00:44PM DISENGAGED.
12:00:44PM MY MATERNAL GREAT GRANDMOTHER LIVED IN THE UNIT AFTER WE
12:00:48PM MOVED AND WE WERE CONSTANTLY PRESENT THERE UNTIL HER DEATH.
12:00:50PM WE REMAINED THE PROPERTY MANAGERS FOR BOTH UNITS FOR MORE
12:00:53PM THAN FOUR DECADES.
12:00:54PM IN 1989 I LEFT TAMPA, ATTENDED COLLEGE AND THEN BEGAN MY
12:01:00PM ARMY CAREER ALL WITH THE HOPE OF RETURNING HOME TO
12:01:03PM CONTRIBUTE TO MY COMMUNITY AND SOCIETY WRIT LARGE.
12:01:06PM WHEN I STARTED MY MILITARY CAREER, I MET MY BRIDE AS WE WERE
12:01:10PM BOTH SERVING OVERSEAS IN KOREA.
12:01:12PM OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES SINCE 1994, I LED AIRBORNE
12:01:16PM SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNITS IN THE DEFENSE OF OUR NATION FOR
12:01:20PM ONE OF OUR ARMY'S INITIAL COMBAT FORCES DEPLOYED TO FREEDOM
12:01:23PM FRONTIER IN 2002, AFGHANISTAN, TO 15 MONTHS OF HIGH
12:01:27PM INTENSITY CONFLICTS SOUTH OF BAGHDAD, IRAQ.
12:01:31PM MOST RECENTLY I DEPLOYED TO NATO'S EASTERN, GDANSK, POLAND,
12:01:35PM WESTERN SOCIETY'S VANGUARD TO DEMOCRACY.
12:01:37PM WHERE IN 2022, RUSSIAN FORCES INVADED NEIGHBORING UKRAINE
12:01:42PM AND WE REINFORCED THE BORDER AS WELL AS PUBLIC CONFIDENCE.
12:01:46PM IN TOTAL, I AMASSED FIVE COMBAT DEPLOYMENTS TO SERVE NEARLY
12:01:49PM A DECADE OVERSEAS AND ALL THE WHILE I DREAMED OF RETURNING
12:01:52PM HOME TO TAMPA, SPECIFICALLY TO CENTRAL AVENUE TAMPA HEIGHTS
12:01:58PM WHERE IT ALL BEGAN FOR ME.
12:01:59PM MY BIRTH PLACE, RIGHT HERE ON CENTRAL.
12:02:01PM MY BRIDE AND I HAVE MOVED MORE THAN A COMBINED 15 TIMES OVER
12:02:05PM THE PAST 30 YEARS AND LOOK FORWARD TO OUR OWN PLACE TO CALL
12:02:08PM HOME WHERE WE CAN ENJOY OUR WELL-EARNED RETIREMENTS.
12:02:11PM IN JANUARY 2023, I RETIRED AND SINCE MY RETIREMENT I HAVE
12:02:16PM EARNESTLY TRIED TO FULFILL MY DREAMS OF RETURNING TO ROOTS
12:02:20PM ON CENTRAL AVENUE TO THE SAME COMMUNITY FROM WHENCE I
12:02:22PM STARTED.
12:02:24PM IMMEDIATE GOAL WAS TO OVERHAUL THE MODEST, NONCONTRIBUTING
12:02:27PM PROPERTY BUILT BY MY PARENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR
12:02:29PM MARRIAGE AND CAREERS TO A NEW STRUCTURE THAT ENHANCES TAMPA
12:02:32PM HEIGHTS.
12:02:32PM CONSISTENT WITH THE GUIDELINES FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
12:02:37PM AS I DROVE ALONG CENTRAL AVENUE, I WAS EXCITED TO SEE THE
12:02:40PM NEW CONSTRUCTION INQUIRED ABOUT THE ARCHITECT WHO DESIGNED
12:02:45PM THE NEW HOMES.
12:02:45PM I THEN LEARNED ARCHITECT JEREL McCANTS WAS THE DESIGNER OF
12:02:49PM SEVERAL NEW HOMES ALONG CENTRAL AVENUE AND THROUGHOUT TAMPA
12:02:51PM HEIGHTS.
12:02:51PM I CONSULTED WITH HIM AND SINCE APRIL 2023, WE HAVE
12:02:55PM COLLABORATED ON MY HOME PROJECT.
12:02:57PM WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURES LOCKSTEP.
12:03:01PM WE'VE MET WITH THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION EXPERTS, ELAINE
12:03:04PM LUND, DENNIS FERNANDEZ, SEVERAL TIMES.
12:03:07PM WE HAVE ADJUSTED, COMPROMISED, SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED THE
12:03:10PM HOME'S ORIGINAL DESIGN BY CONSIDERING ALL FEEDBACK.
12:03:13PM AFTER EACH MEETING WITH NEIGHBORS AND CITY STAFF, WE MADE
12:03:16PM CHANGES TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE AND HARMONIOUS INTEGRATION.
12:03:20PM I BELIEVE WE'RE UP TO VERSION 20 OF THE HOME'S DESIGN NOW.
12:03:24PM WE HAVE GONE BEFORE THE ARC THREE TIMES BEFORE RECEIVING
12:03:27PM UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
12:03:28PM WE HAVE ACTED UPON ARC, HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND THE
12:03:32PM COMMUNITY'S FEEDBACK WHILE MAINTAINING THE INTEGRITY AND
12:03:34PM HISTORY OF THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES.
12:03:36PM WE HAVE BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY RESPONSIVE AND ADDRESSED ALL
12:03:40PM ISSUES.
12:03:40PM THE PLANS YOU SEE BEFORE YOU REFLECT ARC, HISTORIC
12:03:44PM PRESERVATION, AND COMMUNITY INPUT.
12:03:46PM THE CURRENT PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REQUIRED DESIGN
12:03:49PM STANDARDS.
12:03:50PM THE HOME DESIGN'S TYPICAL FEATURES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE
12:03:53PM TAMPA HEIGHTS AND 1940 ERA CRAFTSMAN STYLE ERA HOMES.
12:03:57PM CENTRAL AVENUE IS CENTRAL TO ME AND TO MY FAMILY'S HISTORY.
12:04:02PM WE HUMBLY SEEK YOUR APPROVAL.
12:04:04PM THANK YOU.
12:04:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:04:05PM DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION, SIR?
12:04:09PM >> THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
12:04:10PM THANK YOU.
12:04:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:04:12PM AT THIS TIME, IT IS OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, IF ANYBODY
12:04:15PM WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.
12:04:18PM THERE'S NOBODY REGISTERED TO SPEAK, SO IF ANYBODY IS HERE IN
12:04:22PM PERSON TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME UP, STATE YOUR
12:04:24PM NAME, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
12:04:26PM YES, MA'AM.
12:04:35PM >> I HAVE A WAIVER.
12:04:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:04:39PM PLEASE GIVE IT TO THE ATTORNEY.
12:04:40PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MS. HENDERSON HAS FOUR NAMES.
12:04:45PM PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR PRESENCE BY SAYING SOMETHING OR
12:04:48PM RAISING YOUR HAND.
12:04:49PM HERB CARRINGTON.
12:04:50PM YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SPEAK, IS THAT CORRECT?
12:04:52PM OKAY.
12:04:53PM BLACK ROSE.
12:05:00PM >> I THINK SHE MAY HAVE LEFT.
12:05:02PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: OKAY.
12:05:03PM CONNIE BURTON?
12:05:04PM THANK YOU.
12:05:05PM ROBIN LOCKETT.
12:05:08PM OH, THERE YOU ARE.
12:05:13PM THAT'S THREE ADDITIONAL MINUTES FOR A TOTAL OF SIX.
12:05:16PM THANK YOU.
12:05:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
12:05:17PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
12:05:18PM AILEEN HENDERSON.
12:05:19PM FIRST, I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THIS IS NOT MY WHEELHOUSE AND
12:05:24PM THERE'S NO CEMETERIES ON THE PROPERTY THAT I'M AWARE OF.
12:05:26PM I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW.
12:05:28PM I WANT TO START BY MAKING IT PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT THE NEW
12:05:33PM BUILD IN QUESTION BY THE CARRINGTONS IS NOT A THREE-STORY
12:05:37PM HOME.
12:05:39PM I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT READING OR INTERPRETING HOUSE
12:05:41PM PLANS, YET I EASILY IDENTIFIED THIS HOME AS A TWO AND A HALF
12:05:46PM STORY THE SECOND I LOOKED AT THOSE PLANS.
12:05:49PM THE FACT THE CLAIMANTS REPEATEDLY PRESENT FALSE AND
12:05:53PM INACCURATE INFORMATION SHOULD STOP THIS PROCESS DEAD IN ITS
12:05:57PM TRACKS.
12:05:58PM THEY ARE MISREPRESENTING THE TRUTH IN AN EFFORT TO
12:06:03PM SENSATIONALIZE AND SUPPORT THEIR POSITION.
12:06:06PM THIS IS A BLATANT FABRICATION BUILT ON A FALSE NARRATIVE
12:06:11PM THAT SHOULD FORCE ANYONE INVOLVED TO REALIZE THERE IS MORE
12:06:15PM HERE THAN MEETS THE EYE.
12:06:17PM BUT LET'S MOVE TO THEIR LITANY OF COMPLAINTS.
12:06:23PM ADJACENT HOUSING IS THEIR FIRST ATTEMPT TO MUDDY THE WATERS.
12:06:26PM THEY TAKE PIECES FROM THE HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN REVIEW
12:06:29PM OUT OF CONTEXT TO SUPPORT THEIR BIASED INTERPRETATION.
12:06:33PM CHAPTER 27-115, 1-K-7, SINCE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND
12:06:40PM DETAILS VARY WITHIN A DISTRICT, THE STANDARDS EMPHASIZE THE
12:06:44PM RELATIONSHIP AMONG BUILDINGS IN THE IMMEDIATE SETTING.
12:06:47PM CHAPTER 27-115-1-L, WHEN THE APPLICANT WISHES TO UNDERTAKE
12:06:52PM NEW CONSTRUCTION WITHIN HISTORIC DISTRICT, THE ARC SHALL
12:06:55PM CONSIDER THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE NEW CONSTRUCTION WITH THE
12:06:59PM EXISTING CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT.
12:07:02PM COMPATIBLE DESIGN SHALL MEAN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND
12:07:06PM CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL FIT HARMONIOUSLY INTO THE DISTRICT.
12:07:11PM CONSTRUCTION SHALL BE COMPATIBLE IN SCALE, MATERIALS, AND
12:07:14PM QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION WITH ADJACENT BUILDINGS AND
12:07:18PM STRUCTURES THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED.
12:07:20PM NUMBER ONE, MR. CARRINGTON HAS MET EVERY DEMAND TO MAKE SURE
12:07:24PM HIS NEW CONSTRUCTION MEETS THE DEMANDS OF A NEW BUILD IN AN
12:07:29PM HISTORIC DISTRICT.
12:07:30PM NUMBER TWO, THE FIVE ADJACENT COMPS THE CLAIMANTS USE AS
12:07:35PM EXAMPLES DO NOT MEET THE CRITERIA AS NOTED ABOVE BECAUSE
12:07:38PM THEY ARE NOT DESIGNATED HISTORIC HOMES.
12:07:42PM THEREFORE, NOT COMPARABLE AS ADJACENT HOMES.
12:07:45PM MOVING ON, I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THE WORD ADJACENT IS
12:07:50PM ONCE AGAIN USED IN THE REQUEST FOR APPEAL, BUT THIS TIME IT
12:07:55PM REFERENCES ADJACENT NEIGHBORS OF WHICH THERE ARE ONLY TWO
12:07:58PM THAT I AM AWARE THAT ARE OPPOSED.
12:08:02PM AND, COUNCIL, THOSE ADJACENT OPPOSING NEIGHBORS DO NOT LIVE
12:08:09PM IN ANY OF THE FIVE HOMES THEY USED AS ADJACENT COMPS.
12:08:15PM THEIR HOMES ARE ON THE SAME STREET.
12:08:21PM A COUPLE OF HOUSES OVER, BUT FUNNY HOW THE DEFINITION OF
12:08:23PM ADJACENT IS USED FOR THEIR BENEFIT, WHICH, QUITE HONESTLY,
12:08:27PM BRINGS ME BACK TO MY INITIAL POINT IN THAT THEY ARE NOT
12:08:30PM ACCURATELY REPRESENTING THE TRUTH, THE REAL TRUTH.
12:08:34PM THEY STATE IT IS THEIR INTERPRETATION OF CHAPTER 27 AND
12:08:41PM PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE AND THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF BUILDING
12:08:44PM DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PLUS COMMON SENSE ON WHICH THEIR
12:08:49PM APPEAL IS BASED WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THE CITY HAS A VERY
12:08:56PM CAPABLE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION THAT THE
12:09:00PM CARRINGTONS HAVE MET WITH SEVEN TIMES.
12:09:06PM SEVEN TIMES WITH A MINIMUM OF ONE HOUR EACH AT EACH MEETING.
12:09:11PM AND THE HPC RECOMMENDED TO ARC THEIR APPROVAL AND CONSENT
12:09:17PM THAT THE CARRINGTONS MET THE NEEDED REQUIREMENTS.
12:09:20PM PLUS, THE CARRINGTONS HAVE GONE BEFORE ARC THREE TIMES.
12:09:26PM AS YOU KNOW, ARC IS AN APPOINTED PANEL BY COUNCIL.
12:09:30PM I GUESS BOTH HPC AND ARC LACK THE PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE,
12:09:37PM ABILITY TO INTERPRET AND COMMON SENSE THAT THE CLAIMANTS
12:09:40PM SEEM TO POSSESS.
12:09:41PM PLEASE KNOW EVERY AND ANY CHANGE THAT HAS BEEN REQUESTED OR
12:09:47PM RECOMMENDED TO THE CARRINGTONS, THEY HAVE EAGERLY AND
12:09:50PM WILLINGLY COMPLIED, THUS RESULTING IN A FINAL HEARING WITH
12:09:54PM ARC YIELDING A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR
12:09:58PM HOME BUILD.
12:09:59PM FINALLY, THE LAST POINT MADE BY THE CLAIMANTS TALKS ABOUT
12:10:04PM THE HEIGHT OF THE HOME.
12:10:05PM I PERSONALLY ATTENDED THE LAST ARC MEETING WHERE THE
12:10:08PM CARRINGTONS AND THAT ISSUE WERE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED THAT
12:10:11PM DAY.
12:10:11PM TO SPEAK TO THE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY OF THE CARRINGTONS
12:10:15PM IS A MOOT POINT.
12:10:16PM TO SHARE WITH YOU DAVINA AND CEDRIC CARRINGTON HAVE A
12:10:21PM COMBINED 50 PLUS YEARS OF MILITARY SERVICE BETWEEN THEM WITH
12:10:25PM CEDRIC RETIRING AS A COLONEL AND DAVINA SERVING HER COUNTRY
12:10:29PM AS A SOCIAL WORKER ASSISTING AMERICA'S MILITARY HEROES IS
12:10:33PM ADMIRABLE BUT NOT RELEVANT.
12:10:35PM TO LET YOU KNOW THE CARRINGTONS ARE PILLARS OF THEIR
12:10:42PM COMMUNITY AND CHURCH, WHILE HONORABLE HAVE NO BEARING ON
12:10:45PM THIS AGENDA ITEM.
12:10:46PM CEDRIC IS A GENERATIONAL TAMPE O AND FAREWELL KNOWN SO MUCH
12:10:55PM SO THERE IS A PARK NAMED AFTER HIM, HERBERT CARRINGTON
12:10:59PM SENIOR.
12:10:59PM HIS MOM THE FIRST BLACK NURSE AT ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL.
12:11:02PM THAT MEANS NOTHING, OR DOES IT?
12:11:04PM IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF
12:11:06PM HISTORIC DISTRICT OR ANY DISTRICT OR NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD
12:11:09PM WELCOME PEOPLE LIKE THE CARRINGTONS.
12:11:12PM COUNCIL, I HAVE DEBUNKED ALL OF THE CLAIMANTS.
12:11:17PM I'M ASKING YOU TO PUT THIS TO BED TODAY.
12:11:21PM THANK YOU.
12:11:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:11:26PM NEXT SPEAKER.
12:11:27PM YES, MA'AM.
12:11:36PM >> GOOD MORNING.
12:11:37PM MY NAME IS LUOLA CARRINGTON.
12:11:40PM I AM THE MOTHER OF CEDRIC CARRINGTON.
12:11:43PM AND THE MOTHER-IN-LAW OF DAVINA, MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW.
12:11:47PM THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU.
12:11:54PM I ATTENDED THE LAST TWO MEETINGS.
12:12:00PM I THOUGHT AT THE LAST MEETING THAT THE PLAN WAS VIRTUALLY
12:12:04PM APPROVED.
12:12:06PM WE LEFT HERE VERY HAPPY.
12:12:13PM I FIND IT DIFFICULT WHY SOMEONE WOULD INVEST SO MUCH TIME
12:12:19PM AND ENERGY TO IMPOSE THEIR VIEWS ON A HOUSE THAT THEY WILL
12:12:27PM NOT LIVE IN BUT TRY TO DICTATE HOW IT SHOULD BE BUILT.
12:12:34PM IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN ABNORMAL OBSESSION TO CONTROL.
12:12:43PM I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN HISTORIC DISTRICT AND THE
12:12:49PM REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET TO BUILD.
12:12:53PM MY HUSBAND AND I BUILT THE DUPLEX AT 2813 CENTRAL IN 1968
12:13:07PM WITH THE IDEA THAT WE WOULD LIVE IN ONE UNIT AND RENT THE
12:13:11PM OTHER.
12:13:13PM WHEN WE MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WE WERE THE ONLY BLACK
12:13:17PM FAMILY LIVING IN THE AREA.
12:13:21PM WE HAD ONE CHILD.
12:13:24PM WE DID NOT RECEIVE A WARM RECEPTION EXCEPT FOR ONE, A MRS.
12:13:32PM BLAKE WHO LIVED IN THE HOUSE ACROSS FROM US.
12:13:37PM AND SHE BROUGHT US A PIE AND WE ALWAYS DISPLAYED NICETIES
12:13:44PM THROUGHOUT.
12:13:46PM SOMEONE BROKE INTO THE APARTMENT SHORTLY AFTER WE MOVED IN.
12:13:52PM THE POLICEMAN THAT CAME WAS EXTREMELY NICE AND WE STAYED IN
12:13:58PM TOUCH THROUGHOUT OUR STAY.
12:14:02PM WE WERE NOT LOOKING FOR FRIENDS.
12:14:06PM WE ONLY WANTED TO LIVE IN PEACE AND LIVE OUR LIVES.
12:14:12PM WE HAD TWO MORE CHILDREN.
12:14:14PM WE OUTGREW THE APARTMENT AND BUILT A HOME IN 1976.
12:14:20PM THIS SITUATION BRINGS ME BACK TO THOSE MEMORIES.
12:14:30PM ALL MY SON AND HIS WIFE WANT TO DO IS TO LIVE IN PEACE WHERE
12:14:36PM HE WAS BORN AND LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE.
12:14:39PM THEY BOTH SERVED IN THE MILITARY.
12:14:45PM MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW FOR 20 YEARS AND MY SON FOR 29 YEARS.
12:14:50PM THEY CHOSE TO COME BACK AND LIVE IN TAMPA.
12:14:54PM THEY LOVE THE INNER CITY, AND THEY LOVE WHERE THEY LIVED.
12:15:01PM THEY DO NOT DESERVE THIS TODAY.
12:15:05PM THANK YOU.
12:15:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:15:06PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:15:07PM NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
12:15:15PM >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
12:15:16PM MY NAME IS FRANK GRECO.
12:15:18PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
12:15:19PM I AM A PROPERTY OWNER IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
12:15:22PM FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CARRINGTONS FOR THEIR
12:15:28PM SERVICE IN THE MILITARY.
12:15:29PM VERY ADMIRABLE.
12:15:30PM I WOULD LIKE TO ASSURE THEM THAT THE NEIGHBORS OF THE
12:15:32PM CENTRAL AVENUE WOULD VERY MUCH WELCOME THEM BACK INTO THE
12:15:35PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:15:36PM IT'S NOT A MATTER OF PERSONALITY.
12:15:38PM IT'S A MATTER OF GRACIOUSNESS, AND THEY WOULD BE WELCOMED
12:15:43PM BACK TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:15:44PM FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO SAY IT IS DISAPPOINTING TO LEARN
12:15:47PM THAT THERE WAS A PUBLIC NOTICE PERIOD THAT DID NOT GO WELL.
12:15:52PM IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND OBVIOUSLY THAT
12:15:57PM DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN THE PLAN WAS CHANGED AT THE LAST MINUTE.
12:16:00PM YOU'VE BEEN HEARING THAT THE BUILDING IS 34 AND A HALF FEET
12:16:06PM TALL, BUT THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SPACE THAT IS BELOW THE
12:16:09PM FINISHED FLOOR, WHICH IS ABOUT TWO AND A HALF FEET.
12:16:12PM AS YOU HEARD, THERE WAS AN ARC BOARD MEMBER WHO IDENTIFIED
12:16:19PM THIS IN HIS ORIGINAL EVALUATION.
12:16:23PM NOT ONLY EXCEEDS THE GUIDELINES FOR THE TAMPA HEIGHTS
12:16:29PM GUIDELINES, BUT IT ALSO VIOLATES THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 35
12:16:35PM FEET FOR THE STANDARD CITY OF TAMPA ZONING CODE.
12:16:39PM AND THAT IS ONE TO TWO FEET TALLER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED BY
12:16:44PM THAT CODE, INCLUDING ANY OF THE REGULATIONS THAT ARE FEMA OR
12:16:52PM STORMWATER, WHATEVER OTHER REGULATIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
12:16:54PM IT STILL WOULD BE ONE TO TWO FEET HIGHER, MAKING IT CLOSER
12:16:57PM TO 37 FEET FROM GRADE.
12:16:59PM IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE ZONING CODE IS A PROMISE TO THE
12:17:05PM NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT A SET OF
12:17:08PM ENTITLEMENTS THAT WERE IN PLACE WITH THE EXPECTATIONS WHEN
12:17:13PM THEY BOUGHT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD BE IN PLACE.
12:17:16PM IT WOULD BE A PROMISE BROKEN IF THERE IS AN ALLOWANCE TO
12:17:20PM HAVE A 37-FOOT BUILDING WHERE NORMALLY IT'S ONLY A 35-FOOT
12:17:26PM ALLOWANCE.
12:17:27PM ALLOWING THE ZONING REGULATIONS TO BE ARBITRARY WILL SET A
12:17:31PM PRECEDENT WHICH LATER WILL BECOME A PREFERENCE, AND THAT
12:17:35PM WOULD NEGATE THE ZONING CODE THAT WE DO HAVE.
12:17:40PM THIS CRITERIA WOULD HAPPEN WHEREVER IT'S NEEDED OR DESIRED.
12:17:45PM IN CLOSING, TAMPA -- IN TAMPA WE RELISH OUR TAMPA HISTORY,
12:17:52PM WHICH IS BEING LOST AT A RAPID RATE.
12:17:55PM THE HISTORIC STRUCTURES AND HISTORIC SETTINGS SHOULD BE
12:17:57PM MAINTAINED FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
12:18:00PM ELEMENT THAT GIVES CHARLESTON AND SAVANNAH THE CHARM THAT
12:18:03PM THEY HAVE AND MAKES THEM A DESTINATION LOCATION.
12:18:05PM WE MUST DO MORE TO PROTECT OUR TAMPA HISTORY.
12:18:09PM THANK YOU.
12:18:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
12:18:10PM YES, SIR.
12:18:12PM GOOD AFTERNOON.
12:18:13PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
12:18:18PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
12:18:21PM MY NAME IS FRANK CARTER.
12:18:22PM LET'S SEE.
12:18:24PM I'M A RESIDENT OF TAMPA HEIGHTS.
12:18:26PM I BUILT A HOME BACK IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
12:18:29PM I STARTED IT IN 2001, FINISHED IT IN AUGUST OF '03.
12:18:35PM FIRST OF ALL, I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS, THE ARC.
12:18:40PM IT IS A VERY RIGOROUS PROCESS.
12:18:41PM BUT I HAVE AN APPRECIATION FOR IT ON THE OTHER SIDE BECAUSE,
12:18:46PM YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN TAMPA HEIGHTS EVOLVE INTO WHAT IT IS
12:18:53PM TODAY.
12:18:54PM BACK WHEN I MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, CHARLIE USED TO
12:18:56PM COME TO OUR MEETINGS THERE AT TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC
12:19:00PM ASSOCIATION MEETINGS WHERE YOU GAVE US YOUR VISION OF HOW
12:19:03PM PALM AVENUE WOULD BE TURNED INTO A BOULEVARD.
12:19:08PM ALL OF THOSE THINGS ENCOURAGE THE EARLY SETTLERS IN TAMPA
12:19:14PM HEIGHTS TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
12:19:16PM HAVING SAID THAT, CEDRIC, I KNOW HE'S BEEN IN MY HOME BACK
12:19:20PM WHEN HE WAS IN THE ARMY, WHATEVER, MILITARY.
12:19:22PM AND HE WAS ALWAYS -- HE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT COMING BACK TO
12:19:28PM TAMPA HEIGHTS.
12:19:29PM GOING THROUGH THIS NEW CONSTRUCTION PROCESS THROUGH THE ARC
12:19:35PM IS NOT EASY.
12:19:36PM ANYBODY THAT WOULD CHALLENGE THIS PROJECT HAS NEVER BEEN IN
12:19:40PM FRONT OF THE ARC BEFORE, BUT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
12:19:44PM TRUST ME, THEY DO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
12:19:46PM AND WE'VE COMMISSIONED THEM TO DO THEIR JOB.
12:19:49PM THEREFORE, I REALLY FEEL THAT ALL OF THESE OTHER THINGS
12:19:54PM SAYING, THESE PEOPLE ARE SAYING IS REALLY A DISRESPECT TO
12:19:57PM THE ARC BECAUSE THEY ARE CREDENTIALED TO DO THIS AND WE
12:20:01PM TRUST THEM TO DO THIS.
12:20:03PM I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT
12:20:06PM DOES FIT THE FABRIC OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WE TALKED ABOUT
12:20:10PM HEIGHTS OF HOMES AND STUFF.
12:20:11PM I THINK MY HOME WAS LIKE 37 FEET.
12:20:14PM YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
12:20:15PM 37 FEET.
12:20:17PM 4800-SQUARE-FOOT HOME IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
12:20:20PM PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY.
12:20:22PM WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT IN TAMPA HEIGHTS?
12:20:24PM I BELIEVED IN THE VISION OF MAYOR DICK GRECO WHEN HE HAD THE
12:20:31PM MAYOR HEIGHTS PROGRAM BACK IN THE DAY THERE.
12:20:33PM AND IT IS PAID OFF TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE PEOPLE CALLING ME
12:20:37PM EVERY DAY TO TRY TO BUY MY HOME FOR WHATEVER REASON.
12:20:40PM ANYWAY, I JUST WANT TO SAY LET'S TRUST THE COMMITTEE'S
12:20:47PM DECISION, ARC'S DECISION.
12:20:49PM THEY HAVE GIVEN THEIR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AND I
12:20:51PM JUST THINK WE SHOULD MOVE ON FROM THIS AND MOVE THE AGENDA.
12:20:54PM THANK YOU.
12:20:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
12:20:56PM YES, SIR.
12:20:58PM GOOD AFTERNOON.
12:21:00PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
12:21:01PM MY NAME IS JAMES COLE.
12:21:02PM MY FAMILY HAS BEEN IN THE TAMPA AREA SINCE THE EARLY 1900s
12:21:07PM WHEN MY GREAT GRANDFATHER NOT ONLY WORKED IN THIS AREA BUT
12:21:11PM DEVELOPED CONTRACTS AND ACTUALLY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING
12:21:14PM PROPERTY BACK TO THE CITY SO THEY COULD BE DEVELOPED INTO
12:21:17PM WHAT IS NOW CONSIDERED THE BELMONT HEIGHTS AREA AS WELL AS
12:21:21PM THE COLLEGE HILL AREA.
12:21:22PM IT'S WITH THAT LEGACY THAT MY FAMILY HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
12:21:26PM TO MEET THE CARRINGTON FAMILY.
12:21:28PM I'M PROUD TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT NOT ONLY AM I HERE
12:21:31PM REPRESENTING MR. CEDRIC CARRINGTON AND HIS WIFE, MRS.
12:21:34PM CARRINGTON, BUT ALSO I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE AND PLAY
12:21:38PM AND BE UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF HIS FATHER AND MOTHER WHO JUST
12:21:42PM GAVE HER TESTIMONY.
12:21:43PM MY GOAL TODAY IS TO DO ONE THING AND TO SAY GOVERNMENT HAS
12:21:47PM AN OPPORTUNITY TO SOMETIMES STREAMLINE THE PROCESS.
12:21:50PM IF YOU KNOW TODAY THAT YOUR TEAM AND ARC HAS ALREADY DONE
12:21:56PM THE RESEARCH AND THEY ARE THE ARM OF WHAT YOU DO AS AN
12:22:00PM ELECTED OFFICIAL, LET'S STREAMLINE THE PROCESS.
12:22:02PM I THANK YOU FOR HAVING IN THE PROCESS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
12:22:05PM APPEAL BUT YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, OKAY, WE DON'T
12:22:08PM HAVE TO KEEP GOING ON, WE HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION.

12:22:12PM I WOULD ENCOURAGE TO YOU EXERCISE YOUR ABILITY TO STREAMLINE
12:22:15PM THAT PROCESS AND SUPPORT THE CARRINGTON FAMILY.

12:22:31PM YES, MA'AM.
12:22:31PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
12:22:32PM >> ESTEEMED CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, HELLO.
12:22:35PM I AM DAVINA CARRINGTON, THE OTHER HALF OF TEAM CARRINGTON
12:22:40PM ALSO KNOWN AS HIS BRIDE.

12:22:42PM WE ARE PROUD VETERANS WHO HAVE SERVED AS KEY LEADERS IN OUR

12:22:51PM OVER 50 YEARS OF HONORABLE SERVICE TO OUR NATION, DEFENDING
12:22:55PM HER AT HOME AS WELL AS ABROAD.
12:22:57PM MY REAL LIFE ACTION FIGURE HUSBAND HAS COMPLETED FIVE COMBAT
12:23:02PM DEPLOYMENTS.
12:23:03PM WHILE OUR SACRIFICES FOR OTHERS HAVE BEEN SELFLESS, LIFE HAS
12:23:08PM NOT BEEN WITHOUT ITS SHARE OF PERSONAL LOSSES FOR US.
12:23:12PM FROM THE LOSS OF COMRADES TO FAMILY MEMBERS WITH THE NEAREST
12:23:16PM AND DEAREST AND MOST PAINFUL OF THEM ALL BEING THE LOSS OF
12:23:20PM OUR ONLY CHILD.
12:23:22PM THROUGH IT AND THROUGH IT ALL, OVER THE MANY YEARS, WE HAVE
12:23:27PM REMAINED FAITHFUL AND COMMITTED RULE FOLLOWERS AND CONTINUED
12:23:31PM TO FOLLOW OUR DREAMS.
12:23:34PM WE'VE DONE SO WHILE ENSURING THE DREAMS OF LIFE, LIBERTY,
12:23:38PM AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS WERE ALSO GRANTED FOR OTHERS.
12:23:42PM THAT LEADS ME TO THIS DREAM.
12:23:45PM OUR DREAM OF RETIRING AND RETURNING HOME TO FLORIDA.
12:23:50PM IN FULL TRANSPARENCY, I'M, IN FACT, A VIRGINIA GIRL, BORN IN
12:23:55PM FREDERICKSBURG, ANOTHER HISTORIC DISTRICT.
12:23:59PM BUT THIS TAMPA NATIVE BEHIND ME HAS IMPARTED HIS FLORIDA,
12:24:04PM TAMPA, AND CENTRAL AVENUE LOVE IN ME AS WELL.
12:24:08PM I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE IS NO ONE BETTER QUALIFIED THAN CED
12:24:14PM CARRINGTON TO CONTRIBUTE TO AND ENHANCE THE LEGACY OF TAMPA
12:24:17PM HEIGHTS.

12:24:24PM APPRECIATION, AND CONNECTION.
12:24:26PM WE HUMBLY SEEK YOUR APPROVAL TO BUILD.
12:24:29PM WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURES LOCKSTEP.
12:24:32PM WE'VE MET WITH THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION SUBJECT MATTER
12:24:36PM EXPERTS.
12:24:37PM THANK YOU.
12:24:38PM WE'VE ADJUSTED.
12:24:39PM WE'VE COMPROMISED.
12:24:41PM AND WE'VE SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED OUR HOME'S DESIGN
12:24:45PM RESPECTFULLY.
12:24:46PM CONSIDERING ALL FEEDBACK, AND WE'VE MADE CHANGES TO ENSURE
12:24:50PM COMPLIANCE AND HARMONIOUS INTEGRATION.
12:24:52PM EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD WE EVER LIVED WE LEFT IT BETTER THAN
12:24:57PM BEFORE.
12:24:58PM I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF ADORING NEIGHBORS COMMENT ON MY
12:25:02PM HUSBAND'S PRECISE AND METICULOUS CARE FOR OUR YARDS, OFTEN
12:25:06PM ASKING HIM FOR TIPS AND ADVICE.
12:25:08PM HE WOULD DO THE SAME AND MORE FOR 2813 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE.
12:25:15PM THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ALLOWING US TO COME HOME.
12:25:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:25:19PM MR. SHELBY, SHE IS THE PROPERTY OWNER, SPOUSE OF THE
12:25:24PM PROPERTY OWNER.
12:25:24PM WOULD THIS GO INTO REBUTTAL?
12:25:30PM SHE WAS NOT PART OF THE PRESENTATION, BUT SHE'S STILL
12:25:33PM PROPERTY OWNER.
12:25:34PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE ANSWER, COUNCIL WOULD BE, NOW, THE
12:25:38PM REBUTTAL IS FROM THE APPLICANT AND PETITIONER.
12:25:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK: NUMBER NINE SAYS REBUTTAL BY PROPERTY
12:25:50PM OWNER --
12:25:50PM >> DANA CROSBY COLLIER.
12:25:52PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: LOOKING AT THE WRONG SHEET.
12:25:54PM YOU'RE RIGHT.
12:25:54PM REBUTTAL BY THE PROPERTY OWNER.
12:25:56PM >> FIRST STAFF AND THEN PROPERTY OWNER AND THEN THE
12:25:59PM PETITIONER.
12:25:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:26:00PM BUT MY QUESTION IS THE SPEAKER JUST NOW IS A PROPERTY OWNER
12:26:05PM BUT WAS NOT PART OF THE PRESENTATION.
12:26:06PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: EXACTLY.
12:26:07PM WELL, THE QUESTION, COUNCIL, IRRESPECTIVE OF THAT, WHAT I'M
12:26:12PM GOING TO ASK COUNCIL TO DO IN THIS CASE IS TO CIRCLE BACK TO
12:26:15PM WHAT THE RELEVANT AND MATERIAL FACTS ARE NEEDED FOR THIS,
12:26:20PM THE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE UPON WHICH YOU BASE YOUR
12:26:24PM DECISION.
12:26:25PM AND, FRANKLY, MY SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU CIRCLE BACK IF YOU
12:26:28PM HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF FOR THAT, THAT YOU DO SO BECAUSE
12:26:32PM YOU HEARD A LOT OF TESTIMONY AND SINCERE AND SIGNIFICANT AS
12:26:40PM IT IS TO WHAT WAS SAID, IT STILL IS NOT THE FORMATION OR THE
12:26:45PM BASIS OF YOUR DECISION.
12:26:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
12:26:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S NOT THE QUESTION AT HAND, MR. SHELBY.
12:26:50PM THE QUESTION IS, THE PETITIONER SPOKE DURING PUBLIC COMMENT
12:26:53PM INSTEAD OF DURING -- I'M SORRY, THE PROPERTY OWNER SPOKE
12:26:56PM DURING PUBLIC COMMENT INSTEAD OF DURING REBUTTAL AT PROPERTY
12:26:59PM OWNER.
12:26:59PM I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES
12:27:02PM CORRECTLY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO SAY WE'RE NOT
12:27:06PM GIVING ENOUGH TIME.
12:27:07PM I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO COME BACK AND SAY WE AREN'T FOLLOWING
12:27:10PM THE RULES.
12:27:12PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I STILL BELIEVE IN THIS CASE, ESPECIALLY,
12:27:15PM JUDGING WHAT THAT TESTIMONY WAS, I REALLY BELIEVE THAT DUE
12:27:20PM PROCESS IS STILL BEING AFFORDED ESPECIALLY WITH THIS
12:27:22PM OPPORTUNITY FOR REBUTTAL.
12:27:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
12:27:25PM I WOULD JUST SAY IF THE APPLICANT OR THE PETITIONER WANTS
12:27:28PM MORE TIME, MAYBE, WE BALANCE IT THAT WAY.
12:27:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF IT'S REQUESTED, WE CAN GET TO IT.
12:27:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING THE
12:27:35PM RIGHT THING SO WE DON'T HAVE MORE FOLKS COMING BACK AND
12:27:41PM TRYING TO APPEAL THIS.
12:27:42PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL STATED.
12:27:43PM I APPRECIATE THAT.
12:27:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SULING.
12:27:46PM >>THE CLERK: [INAUDIBLE]
12:27:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
12:27:49PM YES, MA'AM.
12:27:51PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
12:27:57PM >> I HAVE NOT BEEN SWORN IN.
12:27:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
12:28:00PM WE HAVE TO SWEAR YOU IN.
12:28:02PM >> DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU ARE ABOUT
12:28:04PM TO PROVIDE IS NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?
12:28:07PM >> I DO.
12:28:09PM LINDA.
12:28:09PM I CAN SPELL IF NEEDED.
12:28:12PM S-H-A-L-J-A-N-I.
12:28:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
12:28:20PM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
12:28:21PM I'M HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
12:28:23PM I LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I LIVE A COUPLE OF HOUSES DOWN
12:28:25PM FROM WHERE THE -- I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW THEIR NAMES.
12:28:30PM FUTURE NEIGHBORS WILL BE, WHERE THE PROPERTY OWNERS WILL BE.
12:28:33PM I AM TODAY IN WHAT I PERSONALLY CONSIDER A SOMEWHAT
12:28:38PM UNFORTUNATE SITUATION BECAUSE I'M CONTESTING THE
12:28:40PM APPROPRIATENESS OF WHAT ARC DID.
12:28:43PM BUT I HOPE THAT DOESN'T SEEM AS IF I AM BEING A BAD FUTURE
12:28:46PM NEIGHBOR.
12:28:47PM I VERY MUCH WELCOME THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
12:28:53PM AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THEM BEING THERE.
12:28:55PM MY ISSUE, HOWEVER, IS WITH WHAT ARC DID.
12:28:59PM BECAUSE I DO VERY MUCH LOVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:29:01PM I LOVE ITS HISTORIC INTEGRITY.
12:29:04PM AND THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS THAT SECTION 115 IS NOT
12:29:08PM DISCRETIONARY.
12:29:10PM IT DOES NOT GIVE ARC THE DISCRETION OF WHETHER TO ABIDE BY
12:29:13PM ITS REQUIREMENTS OR NOT.
12:29:15PM ESPECIALLY SO WHEN THE LANGUAGE IS VERY MUCH MANDATORY.
12:29:18PM SO WHERE THE LANGUAGE IN SECTION 115 IS MANDATORY AND
12:29:21PM REQUIRES ARC TO DO SOMETHING, ARC DOES NEED TO DO IT.
12:29:25PM IN THIS CASE, THEY DID NOT.
12:29:27PM THEY PATENTLY, VERY CLEARLY DID NOT FOLLOW WHAT THEY WERE
12:29:32PM REQUIRED TO DO UNDER ARC.
12:29:33PM I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT ARC BE TOLD TO DO WHAT THEY ARE
12:29:37PM SUPPOSED TO DO BECAUSE IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THIS HOUSE,
12:29:40PM WE'RE IN AN HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE DEVELOPMENT IS FAST
12:29:42PM COMING.
12:29:43PM WE HAVE PLANS FOR FUTURE HOUSES DOWN THE STREET.
12:29:45PM IF WE LOSE THE HISTORIC INTEGRITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS BY
12:29:48PM ALLOWING ARC TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO
12:29:52PM FOLLOW IN THE CODE, THEN, WELL, WHAT DO WE DO, NO LONGER
12:29:57PM HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE DISTRICT AND ALL THE RULES
12:29:59PM MIGHT AS WELL GO OUT THE WINDOW.
12:30:01PM THAT'S WHY I'M HERE AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU REQUIRE
12:30:05PM OF ARC TO DO VERY MUCH WHAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO AND
12:30:08PM APPLY THE CODE.
12:30:13PM PLAIN MEANING OF THE LANGUAGE REQUIRES.
12:30:15PM THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.
12:30:16PM THANK YOU.
12:30:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:30:18PM YES, MA'AM.
12:30:18PM MS. COPELAND MILLER.
12:30:21PM GOOD AFTERNOON, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
12:30:24PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
12:30:24PM MY NAME IS NOREEN COPELAND MILLER.
12:30:27PM I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 38.
12:30:32PM I WANT TO SAY BACK IN THE 1980s, BECAUSE I AM BORN AND
12:30:37PM RAISED IN TAMPA, AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK FOR THE
12:30:40PM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
12:30:43PM AT THAT TIME, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE FIRST
12:30:45PM BLACK NURSE SUPERVISOR IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, AND THAT'S
12:30:50PM MS. CARRINGTON.
12:30:51PM SHE WAS A VERY FAIR PERSON.
12:30:53PM WE HAD A LOT OF CHALLENGES IN THE '80s IN THIS CITY.
12:30:55PM WE STILL HAVE THEM TODAY, BUT I'M JUST SHOCKED THAT WE'RE
12:30:59PM HAVING THIS KIND OF CONVERSATION TODAY.
12:31:01PM BUT UNDER HER TUTELAGE AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, SHE WAS
12:31:04PM OUTSTANDING WITH FAIRNESS.
12:31:06PM WE HAD A LOT OF CHALLENGES, BUT WE ALWAYS CAME UP.
12:31:08PM SHE LED US WITH A WIN-WIN SITUATION.
12:31:11PM WE KNOW EVERYBODY HAVE DIFFERENCES.
12:31:14PM OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND I'M SITTING HERE LISTENING ABOUT
12:31:18PM PRESERVING THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE KNOW HOW THAT GOES FOR
12:31:20PM HISTORIC BELMONT HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:31:22PM SO WHEN I'M LISTENING TO THEM TALKING ABOUT HISTORIC TAMPA
12:31:25PM HEIGHTS IN 1968, HIS FAMILY BUILT A HOME THERE, PRESERVING
12:31:32PM THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:31:33PM BUT NOW IN 2024, THIS COLONEL CARRINGTON HAS SERVED AND
12:31:38PM PROTECTED THIS COUNTRY.
12:31:40PM HE COMES OUT TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THINGS IN THE HISTORIC
12:31:43PM BELMONT HEIGHTS AREA BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF
12:31:46PM NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY.
12:31:48PM I JUST WANT TO SAY WE CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT PRESERVING OUR
12:31:53PM NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE JOB THE CITY IS DOING.
12:31:55PM I COME STANDING HERE TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING BUT GREAT
12:31:58PM RESPECT FOR DENNIS FERNANDEZ AND ELAINE LUND FOR THE WORK
12:32:02PM THAT THEY DO AND THE HCR HAS ALREADY APPROVED -- THE ARC,
12:32:11PM I'M SORRY.
12:32:12PM THEY APPROVED THIS, SO THREE TIMES AND WE STILL ARE HAVING
12:32:17PM DISCUSSION.
12:32:17PM WE TALK ABOUT GENERATIONAL WEALTH.
12:32:19PM WE KNOW ABOUT RED LINING COMMUNITIES AND I KNOW WHERE I GREW
12:32:25PM UP AT BUT I'M JUST SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT
12:32:30PM COME AND TELL FOLKS HOW TO SPEND THEIR MONEY AND BUILD THEIR
12:32:33PM HOMES WHEN WE KNOW IN THE CITY LIMITS, PEOPLE ARE BUILDING
12:32:36PM ALL KINDS OF STRUCTURES THAT ARE NOT COMPARABLE TO THE OTHER
12:32:40PM HOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:32:42PM SO I HAVE TO ASK MYSELF, WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT?
12:32:44PM A BLACK MAN THAT CAN AFFORD TO BUILD HIS HOME?
12:32:47PM AND DO THE RIGHT THING?
12:32:50PM HE DONE EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN ASKED OF HIM AND WE ARE STILL
12:32:53PM HAVING A DISCUSSION BECAUSE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO RELOCATE
12:32:56PM TO TAMPA DON'T APPROVE OF A TAMPANIAN.
12:33:00PM I GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT BECAUSE WE ARE CONTINUING TO ERASE
12:33:04PM OUR BLACK HISTORY.
12:33:06PM AND IN 1968, THEY WERE THERE THEN.
12:33:09PM SO WE'RE IN 2024, SO NOW HE HAS TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO
12:33:13PM PLEASE WHO.
12:33:15PM PLEASE SUPPORT THIS, SUPPORT WHAT THE ARC HAS DONE BECAUSE
12:33:20PM THEY DO GREAT WORK.
12:33:21PM DENNIS FERNANDEZ AND HIS STAFF ARE OUTSTANDING.
12:33:23PM I CANNOT THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR FOLLOWING POLICY AND
12:33:27PM PROCEDURE.
12:33:27PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND PLEASE SUPPORT THIS.
12:33:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:33:30PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:33:31PM DO WE HAVE ANY STAFF ADDITIONAL COMMENT AT THIS TIME?
12:33:33PM IF NOT, I'LL KICK OFF REBUTTAL.
12:33:36PM YES, MA'AM.
12:33:37PM >> DANA CROSBY COLLIER WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
12:33:41PM ELAINE LUND WILL SPEAK TO CLARIFY THE ZONING ISSUE.
12:33:45PM I WANTED TO CLARIFY A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR THE RECORD.
12:33:47PM THIS WAS HEARD BEFORE THE ARC THREE TIMES, AS EVERYONE HAS
12:33:51PM MENTIONED.
12:33:52PM THERE WAS THE INITIAL SEPTEMBER MEETING AND THEN THERE WAS
12:33:54PM THE NOVEMBER MEETING.
12:33:55PM IT WAS CONTINUED TO NOVEMBER.
12:33:57PM NOVEMBER CAME, WE DID RECEIVE -- STAFF DID RECEIVE THE PLANS
12:34:00PM LATE AND THEY WERE BRIEFLY DISCUSSED AT THE ARC, BUT THAT
12:34:04PM MEETING WAS CONTINUED UNTIL JANUARY 8 AT WHICH TIME THE
12:34:08PM FINAL DECISION WAS MADE.
12:34:10PM SO THERE WERE THREE MEETINGS AND THERE WAS, AS YOU'VE HEARD,
12:34:16PM THERE WERE NUMEROUS ITERATIONS OF THE PLANS THAT WERE
12:34:18PM PRODUCED.
12:34:19PM THE SECOND THING I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY ON, IT HAS TO DO
12:34:23PM WITH THE ADJACENT CONSTRUCTION.
12:34:29PM THE PETITIONER IN THIS MATTER IS DIRECTING YOUR ATTENTION TO
12:34:32PM SECTION L, WHICH IS THE SECOND TO THE LAST PAGE OF THE
12:34:36PM HANDOUT I GAVE YOU, THE VERY TOP.
12:34:38PM IT IS ADDITIONAL CRITERIA ON NEW CONSTRUCTION, AND THAT IS,
12:34:41PM IN FACT, WHAT THE ARC LOOKS AT.
12:34:43PM IF YOU LOOK AT THE PENULTIMATE SENTENCE YOU'LL SEE IT SAYS
12:34:47PM NEW CONSTRUCTION SHALL BE COMPATIBLE IN SCALE, MATERIALS AND
12:34:50PM QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION WITH ADJACENT BUILDINGS AND
12:34:54PM STRUCTURES THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED.
12:34:56PM SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN THE ARC LOOKS AT A COMMUNITY,
12:35:00PM AS YOU HEARD THROUGH THE TESTIMONY TODAY, A LOT OF THE HOMES
12:35:03PM THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE PROPERTY
12:35:07PM ITSELF, ARE NOT DESIGNATED.
12:35:09PM THEY ARE NOT DESIGNATED AS CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES.
12:35:13PM I JUST WANTED TO CALL THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE THERE
12:35:16PM DID SEEM TO BE SOME CONFUSION.
12:35:18PM ELAINE WILL ADDRESS THE ZONING HEIGHT ISSUE.
12:35:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:35:22PM >>ELAINE LUND: ELAINE LUND, HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF.
12:35:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MS. LUND, BEFORE YOU START, CAN I JUST ASK
12:35:31PM YOU TO CLARIFY A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ON THE ADJACENT?
12:35:34PM NO, NO, MS. LUND, YEAH, SHE'S QUALIFIED TO DO THIS.
12:35:40PM SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADJACENT, WE'VE HAD THIS
12:35:44PM QUESTION BEFORE, ADJACENT.
12:35:45PM WHAT DOES ADJACENT MEAN?
12:35:47PM SO I'M LOOKING FOR YOUR DEFINITION OF ADJACENT IN THIS.
12:35:53PM SO ADJACENT BUILDING AND STRUCTURES THAT HAVE BEEN
12:35:57PM DESIGNATED.
12:35:58PM SO WOULD THAT BE A STRUCTURE THAT HAS TO BE NEXT DOOR OR A
12:36:02PM DESIGNATED STRUCTURE THAT IS IN THE VICINITY ON THE STREET,
12:36:11PM ON THE MAPS YOU'VE SHOWN US, YOU USED BOTH CENTRAL AVENUE
12:36:14PM AND ELMORE AVENUE PROPERTIES.
12:36:16PM SO IS IT MORE OF A RADIUS OF THE 250?
12:36:19PM IF YOU COULD KIND OF CLARIFY THAT FOR US, IT WOULD BE
12:36:21PM APPRECIATED.
12:36:22PM >>ELAINE LUND: SURE.
12:36:24PM OF COURSE.
12:36:25PM WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR THE REFERENCE STRUCTURES TO BE
12:36:28PM THE HISTORIC STRUCTURES IN THE DISTRICT, THE CONTRIBUTING
12:36:31PM ONES.
12:36:32PM WHEN WE DO NOT HAVE PROPERTIES THAT ARE DIRECTLY ADJACENT
12:36:35PM THAT ARE ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY TOUCHING THE SUBJECT SITE THAT
12:36:39PM HAVE HISTORICALLY DESIGNATED PROPERTIES ON THEM OR
12:36:41PM CONTRIBUTING PROPERTIES, WE LOOK FOR THE CLOSEST ONES
12:36:44PM AVAILABLE.
12:36:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK: COULD YOU SHOW US THE MAP AGAIN IF YOU HAVE
12:36:49PM IT?
12:36:50PM BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF MAPS.
12:36:52PM IF YOU COULD SHOW US THAT MAP AGAIN, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
12:36:55PM SO THESE ARE THE HISTORIC STRUCTURES THEN THAT YOU --
12:37:09PM >>ELAINE LUND: SOME OF THESE ARE NEW CONSTRUCTION, BUT SOME
12:37:11PM OF THESE ARE THE HISTORIC CONTRIBUTING ONES AS WELL.
12:37:14PM THIS IS CONTRIBUTING HERE.
12:37:15PM THIS IS CONTRIBUTING.
12:37:17PM THIS BUILDING IS CONTRIBUTING.
12:37:18PM AND THIS ONE IS CONTRIBUTING.
12:37:21PM THIS IS A CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURE.
12:37:24PM AND THE BUILDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE IN THIS PHOTO IS
12:37:26PM CONTRIBUTING.
12:37:27PM THE REST ARE NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT BASED ON
12:37:30PM THE DESIGN GUIDELINES.
12:37:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
12:37:33PM THANK YOU FOR THAT.
12:37:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:37:36PM >>ELAINE LUND: TO CLARIFY WHAT I WAS SAYING ABOUT THE ZONING
12:37:39PM HEIGHT EARLIER, THIS IS AN RS 50 CATEGORY, AND THE HEIGHT
12:37:42PM LIMIT IS 50 -- SORRY, 35 FEET.
12:37:44PM THE DEFINITION OF HEIGHT THAT IS PROVIDED BY THE ZONING CODE
12:37:52PM IS THE VERTICAL DISTANCE BETWEEN THE REQUIRED FINISHED FLOOR
12:37:54PM TO THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE STRUCTURE, AND THE REQUIRED
12:37:57PM FINISHED FLOOR SHALL BE DETERMINED BY UTILIZING ALL
12:38:00PM APPLICABLE REGULATIONS OF THE CITY, COUNTY, STATE, AND
12:38:04PM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
12:38:05PM INCLUDES THE DESIGN GUIDELINES AS THEY ARE ADOPTED BY
12:38:09PM REFERENCE INTO THE CITY CODE.
12:38:10PM WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT THIS WAS ALSO REVIEWED
12:38:26PM BY OUR ZONING DIVISION, AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES --
12:38:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONES.
12:38:33PM I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IS COMING FROM.
12:38:34PM >>ELAINE LUND: OTHER THAN THAT, ALL I MEAN TO SAY IS THAT WE
12:38:38PM APPRECIATE THE OWNER AND THE ARCHITECT COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS
12:38:42PM WORKING WITH US AND WITH THE ARC TO DESIGN A RESIDENCE THAT
12:38:46PM THE ARC WAS ABLE TO FIND CONSISTENT WITH THE VERNACULAR OF
12:38:49PM THE DISTRICT AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.
12:38:52PM THANK YOU.
12:38:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANTED TO CLARIFY ON THE HEIGHT AND PLEASE,
12:38:55PM IF YOU HAVE THAT CELL PHONE.
12:38:56PM I'LL WAIT.
12:39:00PM SORRY.
12:39:06PM JUST A LOT OF BEEPING.
12:39:10PM ANYWAY, SO THE HEIGHT, JUST TO REMIND US, THE HEIGHT GOES
12:39:15PM STRICTLY FROM THE FLOOR.
12:39:16PM >>ELAINE LUND: THE FIRST FLOOR.
12:39:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CRAWL SPACE AS IT
12:39:20PM WERE.
12:39:21PM >>ELAINE LUND: CORRECT.
12:39:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
12:39:22PM I JUST WANTED TO DO THAT.
12:39:24PM THERE WERE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
12:39:26PM IF SOMEONE COULD SPEAK TO A CHANGE THAT REQUIRES A CHANGE IN
12:39:33PM PUBLIC NOTICE, I'M NOT QUITE CLEAR ON THE CONCERNS ABOUT
12:39:38PM PUBLIC COMMENT.
12:39:40PM MAYBE IF MR. FERNANDEZ CAN SPEAK TO THAT.
12:39:51PM >>DENNIS FERNANDEZ: DENNIS FERNANDEZ, ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
12:39:53PM AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION MANAGER.
12:39:54PM THE SITUATION ON NOVEMBER 8 WAS THAT THE APPLICANT IN
12:39:59PM RESPONDING TO THE PREVIOUS HEARINGS COMMENTS AND THE STAFF
12:40:05PM REPORT MADE CHANGES TO THE PLANS IN ADVANCE OF THE HEARING.
12:40:10PM THEY HAD ALREADY SUBMITTED PLANS FOR THE NOVEMBER HEARING,
12:40:14PM HOWEVER, THEY RECEIVED THE STAFF REPORT BACK AND WANTED TO
12:40:18PM ADDRESS THOSE PLANS PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.
12:40:21PM THAT IS STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR THE ARC.
12:40:24PM WE TRY TO MOVE THE APPLICATIONS THROUGH AND NOT SOMEWHAT
12:40:30PM LIMIT THE ABILITY OF AN APPLICANT TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE
12:40:33PM DESIGN OF THEIR PROJECT.
12:40:35PM THOSE WERE PRESENTED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING IN PLACE OF THE
12:40:39PM SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS.
12:40:40PM THE ARC DID LOOK AT THOSE AND COMMENT.
12:40:43PM THEY WERE NOT APPROVED THAT EVENING BECAUSE THERE WAS A
12:40:46PM CONTINUANCE THEREAFTER FOR FURTHER CHANGES.
12:40:49PM BUT THE PUBLIC DID PARTICIPATE IN THAT PRESENTATION.
12:40:55PM THERE WAS PUBLIC COMMENT, AND THEN THEREAFTER THE JANUARY
12:40:58PM HEARING OR WHEN THE FINAL DRAWINGS WERE ACTUALLY APPROVED.
12:41:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SO JUST TO CLARIFY, THE CHANGES WERE FOR THE
12:41:08PM NOVEMBER MEETING, NOT THE JANUARY MEETING.
12:41:10PM >>DENNIS FERNANDEZ: CORRECT.
12:41:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
12:41:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
12:41:13PM AT THIS TIME, WE'LL GO TO REBUTTAL BY THE PROPERTY OWNER.
12:41:17PM YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES.
12:41:28PM >> THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HEARING THIS CASE BEFORE US.
12:41:33PM I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE DID
12:41:39PM COORDINATE WITH THE NEIGHBORS ON.
12:41:41PM THIS WAS KIND OF THE MEMO THAT WE RECEIVED FROM ONE OF THE
12:41:49PM PETITIONERS DURING OUR OCTOBER MEETING WHEN I HAD THE ZOOM
12:41:52PM MEETING WITH THEM TO ADDRESS SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS.
12:41:56PM AND IT WAS NOT ONLY JUST ABOUT SCALE AND HEIGHT AND MASS.
12:42:00PM SEVERAL NUMEROUS ITEMS.
12:42:01PM THIS IS ONE OF THE HOUSES I DESIGNED.
12:42:06PM SO THROUGHOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THESE LITTLE XEROX
12:42:12PM COPIES OF SCALES.
12:42:14PM THIS IS OUT OF SCALE.
12:42:16PM IT'S NOT REALLY DRAWN TO ANY TYPE OF ACTUAL DIMENSION OR
12:42:20PM BASELINE DURING THE PRESENTATION.
12:42:22PM BUT I STILL WANTED TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE ITEMS THAT THEY
12:42:26PM WERE CONCERNED WITH IN OCTOBER ABOUT SCALE, MASSING AND
12:42:30PM BUILDING FORMS.
12:42:30PM AGAIN, THEY ARE STATING ABOUT CARPORT DIMENSIONS AND A LOT
12:42:34PM OF THIS STUFF I WENT BACK AND MET WITH THE CLIENT, WITH MR.
12:42:38PM CARRINGTON TO RESOLVE SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS' CONCERNS THAT
12:42:43PM WAS IN THIS REPORT.
12:42:44PM WE DID ADDRESS OR FEEL LIKE WE RESOLVED A LOT OF THESE
12:42:51PM ISSUES THAT THEY HAD PRESENTED IN THIS EIGHT-PAGE DOCUMENT
12:42:54PM AS WELL AS WORKING WITH ARC STAFF AND PRESENTING AGAIN.
12:42:58PM SO WE HAVE DONE ALL WE CAN AS I AS ARCHITECT AND AGENT FOR
12:43:03PM THE OWNER TO APPEASE THE NEIGHBORS.
12:43:05PM AND MR. CARRINGTON HAS BEEN GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO MAKE THOSE
12:43:08PM MODIFICATIONS.
12:43:09PM WE ARE BEFORE YOU TODAY TO MOVE FORWARD AND TO APPROVE THIS
12:43:14PM PLAN SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND GET THE CONSTRUCTION
12:43:18PM DOCUMENTS AND BE ALLOWED THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
12:43:23PM FROM THE ARC.
12:43:24PM >> COUNCIL MEMBERS, ONCE AGAIN I THANK YOU.
12:43:26PM I ASSURE YOU WE HAVE FOLLOWED EVERY STEP OVER THE PAST YEAR.
12:43:30PM IT'S BEEN A VERY, VERY SLOW RIGOROUS PROCESS.
12:43:32PM WE HAVE NOT SKIPPED ANYTHING AND WE ARE WELL WITHIN
12:43:35PM COMPLIANCE OF ALL REGULATIONS.
12:43:36PM I TRY TO BE FULLY TRANSPARENT AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET
12:43:40PM BEYOND THIS TODAY SO WE CAN BEGIN THE NEXT PHASE.
12:43:42PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
12:43:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DOES THAT COMPLETE YOUR REBUTTAL?
12:43:47PM >> YES.
12:43:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
12:43:49PM GENTLEMEN.
12:43:51PM >>BILL CARLSON: I WANT TO TELL THE PUBLIC, I APOLOGIZE.
12:43:53PM I HAD TO STEP OUT FOR A MINUTE BUT I WAS LISTENING TO THE
12:43:55PM MEETING ON YouTube WHILE I WAS OUT.
12:43:57PM THANK YOU.
12:43:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
12:43:59PM YES, APPLICANT, SLASH, PETITIONER, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME
12:44:04PM UP FOR REBUTTAL.
12:44:05PM YES, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN FOR THE RECORD.
12:44:16PM >> JASON SOOS.
12:44:18PM I JUST WANT TO QUICKLY REITERATE THE COMMENTS THAT EVERYONE
12:44:21PM HAS MADE TODAY.
12:44:22PM MR. CARRINGTON IS SUCH A WELCOMED ADDITION TO THE
12:44:25PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:44:26PM IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS THE
12:44:28PM QUALITY NEIGHBORS THAT WE HAVE COMING IN.
12:44:29PM YOU COULD OFFER ME $3 MILLION FOR MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW BUT
12:44:32PM THERE IS NOTHING I WOULD TRADE IT FOR.
12:44:35PM IT IS A GREAT DISTRICT.
12:44:36PM THE ISSUES AGAIN GO BACK TO THE TECHNICALITIES INVOLVED WITH
12:44:39PM ARC, NOT THE APPLICANT, IT IS THE ARC THAT WE HAVE THE ISSUE
12:44:42PM WITH.
12:44:43PM A COUPLE OF COMMENTS TALKING ABOUT THE TWO AND A HALF STORY
12:44:47PM VERSUS THREE STORY.
12:44:48PM THE FIRST SLIDE THE ARC PUT UP SAID IT WAS A TWO AND A HALF
12:44:51PM STORY PLAN.
12:44:52PM MY THREE-YEAR-OLD CHILD, MY FIVE-YEAR-OLD KNOWS WHAT THE
12:44:57PM NUMBER THREE IS.
12:44:59PM SAYS A NEW THREE STORY HOUSE.
12:45:02PM IN ADDITION, THE CITY OF TAMPA STATES -- NOVEMBER PLANS.
12:45:11PM SORRY.
12:45:11PM THE CITY OF TAMPA STATES THAT STAIRWAYS, STAIR-CASE GOING TO
12:45:16PM A THIRD STORY MAKES IT A THIRD STORY.
12:45:19PM ELEVATORS DON'T COME UP VERY OFTEN, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT
12:45:21PM THAT IS, BUT I KNOW IF YOU HAVE THREE SETS OF STAIRS, COMMON
12:45:25PM KNOWLEDGE SAYS IT'S A THREE-STORY HOME.
12:45:27PM MR. CARRINGTON ALSO -- SORRY, NOT MR. CARRINGTON.
12:45:32PM MR. McCANTS ALSO MENTIONED THAT HE DESIGNED THE HOME I
12:45:35PM LIVE IN.
12:45:36PM HE'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
12:45:37PM IF YOU REMEMBER THE COMMENTS I MADE WHEN I WAS FIRST HERE
12:45:40PM FROM 2017, THAT HOME WAS BROUGHT BEFORE APPEAL FOR NOT
12:45:44PM ADHERING TO SECTION 115.
12:45:46PM THE COUNCIL RULED IN OUR FAVOR THEN.
12:45:49PM SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, DIFFERENT SITUATION IN TERMS OF THE
12:45:52PM SETBACK VERSUS THE HEIGHT AND THE THREE STORIES, BUT
12:45:55PM ULTIMATELY RULED IN OUR FAVOR.
12:45:57PM SO I WOULD QUESTION HIS INTERPRETATION OF SECTION 115
12:46:02PM BECAUSE HERE WE ARE AGAIN AND THE FACT THAT WE'VE GONE
12:46:05PM THROUGH SO MANY HEARINGS AND STILL HERE TODAY, THAT'S PROOF
12:46:09PM THAT THERE IS STILL SOME INCONSISTENCIES IN HOW THAT IS
12:46:15PM INTERPRETED.
12:46:16PM FINALLY, I'LL LET MARY TAKE IT OVER FROM HERE IF IT'S OKAY.
12:46:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN.
12:46:23PM >> MARY McCAHON.
12:46:25PM THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS AND ISSUES THAT WE'RE HAGGLING
12:46:29PM ABOUT, DISCUSSING, IS WHY IT NEEDS TO BE REMANDED.
12:46:32PM THIS NEEDS TO BE STRAIGHTENED OUT.
12:46:34PM THIS IS THE FLOOR PLAN.
12:46:35PM THE CITY OF TAMPA'S DEFINITION OF A FLOOR IS WHEN STAIRS GO
12:46:38PM FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER.
12:46:41PM THERE ARE THE STAIRS.
12:46:42PM TO GO BACK TO -- SO MANY ISSUES.
12:46:45PM SECTION L, THE DESIGNATED OF WHATEVER IT IS, DEFINE
12:46:53PM ADJACENT.
12:46:53PM THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT CAN BE DESIGNATED.
12:46:56PM DISTRICT, MULTIPLE PROPERTY DESIGNATION OR LANDMARK.
12:46:59PM THE DESIGNATION GOES TO WHAT IT IS, AND IT IS A HISTORIC
12:47:05PM DISTRICT.
12:47:05PM ELAINE DID NOT SHOW ADJACENT HISTORIC PROPERTIES.
12:47:10PM WE DID.
12:47:11PM THERE ARE TWO ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY.
12:47:20PM THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN SHOWN BY ARC.
12:47:23PM THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN INCORPORATED INTO IT.
12:47:25PM WE ASKED FOR PRECEDENT FOR A THIRD-STORY HOUSE.
12:47:30PM THREE STORY HOUSES IN THE DISTRICT.
12:47:31PM WE HAVE SAID THAT THERE AREN'T ANY.
12:47:33PM HERE'S WHAT THE HOUSES THAT MR. McCANTS -- OH, TO BE A
12:47:36PM PRECEDENT, YOU NEED TO BE HISTORIC.
12:47:38PM GEE, IT'S A HISTORIC DISTRICT.
12:47:40PM THESE ARE THE TWO-STORY MODERN HOUSES THAT WERE SHOWN AS
12:47:44PM PRECEDENT FOR A THREE-STORY HOUSE.
12:47:46PM WALKED IN TODAY TO HEAR THAT NOW WE'RE CALLING IT A
12:47:49PM TWO-STORY HOUSE.
12:47:50PM ARE THERE ANY OTHER THREE-STORY HOUSES IN THE DISTRICT?
12:47:53PM YES, THERE ARE.
12:47:54PM ONE DATES TO 2004.
12:47:57PM IT HAS ONE LITTLE DORMER TO MAKE A THIRD FLOOR.
12:48:00PM THE OTHER WAS JUST APPROVED BY ARC.
12:48:03PM AND THIS IS IN A DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICT.
12:48:07PM THIS IS SOUTH OF COLUMBUS DRIVE, AND IT IS RM-24 WHICH
12:48:12PM ALLOWS BUILDINGS TO GO UP TO 86 FEET.
12:48:14PM SO, YEAH, THERE ARE PRECEDENTS, BUT THERE AREN'T HISTORIC
12:48:17PM ONES.
12:48:17PM AND THIS IS THE SCALE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP OUT OF OUR
12:48:21PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:48:27PM >> YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU JUST SAY IT.
12:48:29PM THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES OUT.
12:48:30PM [ SOUNDING GAVEL ]
12:48:33PM >> OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS A HISTORIC DISTRICT.
12:48:35PM THANK YOU FOR THAT.
12:48:35PM AS FAR AS THE FIGURING OF THE ELEVATION, AGAIN, A BIG
12:48:40PM QUESTION, I TOO CHECKED WITH ZONING.
12:48:42PM I SPOKE WITH ERIC COTTON ON THE 18th OF MARCH TO VERIFY
12:48:46PM THAT WE HAD INTERPRETED HEIGHT CORRECTLY AND HE SAID YOU
12:48:49PM SURE HAVE.
12:48:50PM YOU CANNOT SET ZERO RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT IT.
12:48:53PM YOU FOLLOW APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, AND WE ARE
12:48:57PM NOT IN A FLOODPLAIN.
12:48:59PM IT IS STORMWATER.
12:49:00PM IT IS 18 INCHES AVERAGE.
12:49:03PM I'LL TAKE OUR TIME FOR THE OWNER.
12:49:05PM AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID.
12:49:06PM AND THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO BE CLARIFIED.
12:49:10PM WE ARE NOT AGAINST THIS HOUSE.
12:49:12PM WE WELCOME THE NEIGHBORS.
12:49:13PM WE WELCOME THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AS WE HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER,
12:49:17PM AND WE JUST WANT IT TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS
12:49:22PM DESIGN GUIDELINES IN THE CITY CODE SO THAT IT DOESN'T SET
12:49:25PM THE PRECEDENT THAT JASON IS GOING TO SHOW YOU FOR WHAT'S
12:49:31PM COMING ON THE BLOCK BEHIND THIS HOUSE.
12:49:34PM YES, ANOTHER THREE-STORY HOUSE.
12:49:37PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
12:49:37PM WOULD YOU LIKE MORE TIME OR DOES THAT COMPLETE YOUR --
12:49:45PM >> NO, I DON'T.
12:49:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:49:48PM CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING?
12:49:50PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: MOTION TO CLOSE.
12:49:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION FIRST.
12:49:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:49:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK: FOR MS. LUND.
12:50:07PM IS THIS A THREE-STORY HOUSE OR A TWO-STORY HOUSE?
12:50:13PM >>ELAINE LUND: I DO NOT KNOW THAT WE HAVE A DEFINITION AS
12:50:16PM FAR AS HOW WE LOOK AT BUILDINGS IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AS
12:50:19PM TO HOW MANY STORIES THEY ARE OTHER THAN WHAT WE ARE SHOWN ON
12:50:21PM THE PLANS.
12:50:22PM WE GO BY THE HEIGHT THAT ZONING TELLS US TO GO BY.
12:50:28PM ALSO, WE DON'T REVIEW ANYTHING IN THE INTERIOR.
12:50:30PM WHETHER ATTIC OR FINISHED THIRD STORY, THAT'S NOT UNDER THE
12:50:33PM ARC'S PURVIEW.
12:50:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OH, OKAY.
12:50:36PM INTERIOR HAS -- OKAY.
12:50:38PM I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY.
12:50:40PM THANK YOU.
12:50:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
12:50:41PM WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
12:50:44PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON.
12:50:46PM ALL IN FAVOR?
12:50:46PM AYE.
12:50:47PM WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
12:50:50PM GO AHEAD, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
12:50:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT APPEARS TO ME THAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH
12:50:57PM THE ARC PROCESS, AND I WILL TELL YOU IT IS COSTLY.
12:51:00PM IT IS ARDUOUS, DETAILED AND WOULD NEVER WANT TO DO IT AGAIN.
12:51:05PM SO THIS HAS GONE THROUGH -- PEOPLE THAT ARE SUBJECT MATTER
12:51:12PM EXPERTS, AND THEY THOROUGHLY VETTED THIS PROPOSAL.
12:51:17PM I'VE HEARD A LOT OF THINGS AT THIS HEARING, BUT I HAVEN'T
12:51:19PM HEARD ANY COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE ARC ERRED
12:51:22PM IN THEIR JUDGMENT.
12:51:24PM I KEEP HEARING ABOUT THIS HEIGHT ISSUE, BUT ZONED FOR 35
12:51:28PM FEET AND AS YOU HEARD COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
12:51:31PM COME FROM STAFF, HEIGHT IS DETERMINED FROM FLOOR ELEVATION
12:51:34PM TO THE TOP OF THE BUILDING WHICH IS UNDERNEATH WHAT THE
12:51:36PM ZONING PERMITS.
12:51:37PM IT APPEARS -- I MEAN, IF I MISSED SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW
12:51:42PM WHAT I MISSED, BUT TOURIST EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PRESENTED BY
12:51:46PM THE HOMEOWNERS AND STAFF WOULD SUPPORT THE ARC'S POSITION ON
12:51:50PM THIS, THAT THIS WAS APPROPRIATELY DECIDED ON BEHALF OF THE
12:51:54PM CARRINGTONS TO BUILD THIS HOME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
12:51:58PM STANDARDS SET FOR THE TAMPA HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT.
12:52:01PM I'M OBVIOUSLY GOING TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF UPHOLDING THE ARC
12:52:05PM DECISION.
12:52:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:52:07PM COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON, YOUR MICROPHONE WAS ON, MA'AM.
12:52:10PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES, I WANTED TO MAKE THE MOTION.
12:52:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
12:52:14PM NO.
12:52:15PM COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON, GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
12:52:17PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU, CHAIR.
12:52:18PM I APPRECIATE IT.
12:52:19PM I MOVE TO AFFIRM THE ARC'S DECISION TO APPROVE THE
12:52:22PM CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS REQUESTED IN THE APPLICATION
12:52:25PM NUMBER ARC 23-334 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2813 NORTH
12:52:30PM CENTRAL AVENUE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION OF A PRIMARY STRUCTURE,
12:52:35PM ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE THE NEW
12:52:37PM CONSTRUCTION AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CITY
12:52:40PM CODE AND THE TAMPA HEIGHTS DESIGN GUIDELINES AND SECRETARY
12:52:44PM OF INTERIOR STANDARDS.
12:52:45PM THE GUIDELINES OF THE STRUCTURE FALL WITHIN THE FLOOR HEIGHT
12:52:49PM WITHIN THE CODE OF 34.6 INCHES, WHICH IS REQUIRED OF 35
12:52:53PM FEET.
12:52:54PM RS-50 IS WITHIN THAT REQUIREMENT.
12:52:56PM SOME OTHER NOTES OF CONSISTENCY INCLUDE THE MASS AND THE
12:53:01PM BUILDING FORM, THE SETBACK, THE ORIENTATION, THE ALIGNMENT,
12:53:04PM THE MAINTAINING OF THE MATERIALS, TRIM DETAILS, ET CETERA.
12:53:07PM AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THE APPLICANTS REVISED THEIR PLANS
12:53:14PM THAT WERE SUPPORTED UNANIMOUSLY BY THE ARC.
12:53:16PM AND STAFF.
12:53:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THIS IS TO APPROVE -- THIS IS FOR THE
12:53:21PM CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS, AN APPROVAL.
12:53:23PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES.

12:53:54PM SO I AM GOING TO BE CONTINUING THAT IT APPEARS AFTER LUNCH,
12:53:59PM ANYBODY HERE FOR THAT.
12:54:00PM I DON'T THINK SO.

02:18:37PM THE PETITIONERS ARE CRYSTAL AND DANIELLE OLIVIERI.
02:18:42PM THEY APPLIED TO CITY STAFF ASKING FOR AN ACCESSORY DWELLING
02:18:46PM UNIT.
02:18:46PM AND STAFF DENIED THAT REQUEST ON JANUARY 2, 2024 STAFF
02:18:53PM DENIED THEIR REQUEST ON THE BASIS THAT THE APPLICANTS DID
02:18:55PM NOT MEET THE CRITERIA AS ESTABLISHED IN THE CITY OF TAMPA
02:18:59PM CODE SECTION 27-132.
02:19:01PM I HOPE -- I PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED THE SAMPLE MOTIONS.

02:19:09PM CONDUCT THIS REVIEW HEARING AND CODE SECTION 27-61, WHICH IS
02:19:14PM REGARDING HOW TO CONDUCT WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW

02:19:24PM APPEAR TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY DENIED THE APPLICATION ON JANUARY
02:19:28PM 2, 2024.
02:19:29PM AS I PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED YOU CODE SECTION 27-61
02:19:35PM SUBSECTION J-3 PROVIDES THAT CITY COUNCIL WILL CONDUCT A DE
02:19:38PM NOVO REVIEW HEARING WHICH MEANS THAT CITY COUNCIL CAN ACCEPT
02:19:43PM NEW EVIDENCE.
02:19:43PM AFTER THE PRESENTATION FROM STAFF, CITY COUNCIL CAN TAKE THE
02:19:46PM FOLLOWING ACTIONS.
02:19:47PM CITY COUNCIL CAN AFFIRM THE DECISION OF THE ZONING

02:19:54PM STRUCTURE SINCE IT DID NOT MEET THE SPECIFIC CODE
02:19:59PM REQUIREMENTS IN 27-132.

02:21:30PM >>CLERK: WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CODE OF ORDINANCES RIGHT NOW.
02:21:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE CAN SEE IT, BUT IT IS NOT VERY CLEAR.
02:21:36PM IT IS VERY SMALL FONT.
02:21:37PM OH.
02:21:40PM >>LAURA MARLEY: LET ME PULL IT UP A DIFFERENT WAY THEN.
02:21:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THERE IT IS.

02:21:56PM GO AHEAD.
02:21:57PM >>LAURA MARLEY: OKAY.
02:21:59PM PETITION FOR A REVIEW, SU 1-3-13.
02:22:05PM CRYSTAL AND DANIELLA OLIVIERI.
02:22:11PM EAST 24th AVENUE.
02:22:12PM THE ZONING IS RS-50.
02:22:14PM THE SPECIAL USE REQUEST IS FOR AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT.
02:22:19PM AND HERE THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY.
02:22:21PM OUTLINED IN RED.
02:22:28PM THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS CODE STANDARDS ARE SHOULD BE
02:22:38PM LIMITED TO 950 SQUARE FEET OF LIVING SPACE.
02:22:40PM ONLY APPROVED WHEN THE MAIN RESIDENCE IS OWNER-OCCUPIED AND
02:22:44PM MAY ONLY BE IN A CONFORMING ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
02:22:48PM AND THERE MAY BE NO MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE IN THE ACCESSORY
02:22:51PM STRUCTURE.
02:22:52PM AND THEN IT IS ALSO REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY STAFF.
02:22:55PM THIS IS THE SITE PLAN ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT IS THE SHED WHICH
02:23:01PM IS PROPOSED TO BE THE ACCESSORY DWELLING.
02:23:06PM AS YOU CAN SEE THE DIMENSIONS ON THE CEASE SIDE IS 179 AND
02:23:11PM DOES NOT MEET THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT OF THREE FEET.
02:23:14PM SO IF I COULD SHOW THE ATTENTION TO B, THE ACCESSORY
02:23:20PM DWELLING UNIT MAY ONLY BE APPROVED WHEN MAIN RESIDENCE IS
02:23:23PM OWNER-OCCUPIED.
02:23:24PM THE PROPERTY IS NOT OCCUPIED BY THE OWNERS.
02:23:27PM THEY SERVING AS ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY AND STATIONED OUT OF
02:23:31PM STATE.
02:23:31PM AND C, MEETS THE CONFORMING STRUCTURE.
02:23:35PM BUT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS 1.9 FEET FROM THE --
02:23:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN YOU HOLD ON A SECOND, MR. CHAIR.
02:23:47PM FULL SCREEN FOR THE SLIDE SHOW BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SIDES --
02:23:50PM IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO SEE YOUR PRESENTATION.
02:23:53PM IF YOU CAN SPEAK CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE SO WE CAN HEAR YOU
02:23:57PM MORE CLEARLY.
02:23:58PM >>LAURA MARLEY: OKAY.
02:23:59PM IS THAT ANY BETTER?
02:24:15PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO.
02:24:16PM NO, IT IS ON A DIFFERENT SCREEN.
02:24:19PM WE JUST NEED IT LARGER SO WE CAN SEE IT MORE CLEARLY.
02:24:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE --
02:24:23PM >>CLERK: WE ARE LOOKING AT YOUR PRESENTATION POWERPOINT
02:24:26PM SCREEN RIGHT NOW.
02:24:27PM >>LAURA MARLEY: SO ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE FULL SCREEN?
02:24:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ONLY ONE PERSON SHE IS SUPPOSED TO GET.
02:24:37PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: FIRST HIT ESCAPE TO GET OUT OF WHAT YOU
02:24:40PM ARE IN.
02:24:40PM >>LAURA MARLEY: OKAY, CAN YOU SEE IT NOW?
02:24:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THERE YOU GO.
02:24:51PM >>LAURA MARLEY: WHICH SLIDE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE?
02:24:56PM OR WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO OVER THE WHOLE THING AGAIN?
02:25:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: START WITH THAT ONE.
02:25:02PM WE CAN SEE THE SITE PLAN MORE CLEARLY.
02:25:05PM >>LAURA MARLEY: OKAY.
02:25:06PM WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO OVER ANYTHING ELSE OR JUST GO OVER
02:25:09PM THE WHOLE PRESENTATION.
02:25:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: JUST KEEP GOING.
02:25:12PM YOU ARE GOOD.
02:25:13PM >>LAURA MARLEY: OKAY.
02:25:14PM SO THOSE WERE THE TWO CRITERIA THAT THE APPLICANTS DON'T
02:25:18PM MEET IS B AND C.
02:25:20PM AND THAT IS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION.
02:25:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION.
02:25:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
02:25:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION, IS THE SHED -- IS THE SHED
02:25:34PM ALREADY THERE?
02:25:35PM >>LAURA MARLEY: YES, MA'AM.
02:25:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU ARE ASKING US TO DO IS BASICALLY VEST THE
02:25:39PM EXISTING STRUCTURE?
02:25:41PM NO?
02:25:42PM >>LAURA MARLEY: THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO CHANGE IT TO
02:25:44PM AN ACCESSORY DWELLING.
02:25:46PM AND IT WOULD IN OUR CODE IT NEEDS TO MEET THE THREE FEET.
02:25:52PM IT DOES NOT MEET, SO, YES.
02:25:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, THANK YOU.
02:25:55PM >>LAURA MARLEY: YOU ARE WELCOME.
02:25:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION?
02:26:01PM >>LAURA MARLEY: YES, SIR.
02:26:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE
02:26:04PM WE GO TO THE APPLICANT?
02:26:05PM NO?
02:26:06PM GO AHEAD.
02:26:07PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
02:26:09PM >> CRYSTAL OLIVIERI.
02:26:10PM I AM AUTHORIZING STEPHEN MICHELINI TO SPEAK ON MY BEHALF.
02:26:15PM >> WE JUST NEED TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD SO WE CAN MOVE
02:26:19PM FORWARD.
02:26:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE NEED YOUR NAME, SIR.
02:26:22PM >> STEVE MICHELINI, REPRESENTING THE OLIVIERIS.
02:26:25PM THE ISSUE IS THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY STATIONED AT MacDILL.
02:26:29PM THEY WERE REASSIGNED TO DELAWARE.
02:26:32PM AND THEY CAN NOT BE OWNER-OCCUPIED RESIDENCES THERE.
02:26:36PM BY THE DEED THAT THEY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IN 2022, IT
02:26:43PM CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THE UNIT -- THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
02:26:47PM EXISTED AND WAS THERE IN ITS PRESENCE CONDITION.
02:26:50PM THERE WERE NO ADDITIONS TO IT.
02:26:52PM SO AS THE COUNCILWOMAN HAD ASKED ABOUT THE SETBACKS, YES,
02:26:56PM THEY ARE ASKING THAT BE VESTED AS IT EXISTS AND THAT THE
02:27:01PM OWNER-OCCUPIED WAIVER BE GRANTED AS THEY CANNOT PHYSICALLY
02:27:05PM BE THERE.
02:27:06PM THEIR INTENTION LONG-TERM IS TO RETURN AND DWELL IN THE MAIN
02:27:10PM STRUCTURE BUT AS LONG AS THEY ARE DEPLOYED OUTSIDE OF THIS
02:27:13PM AREA, THEY CAN'T DO THAT.
02:27:15PM THEY ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY BASIC QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE,
02:27:19PM BUT ESSENTIAL, THAT IS THE ISSUE THAT THEY ARE SIMPLY
02:27:23PM REQUESTING A WAIVER FOR OWNER OCCUPANCY AND THAT THE SHOULD
02:27:29PM BE VESTED ON THE PROPERTY AS IT IS CURRENTLY.
02:27:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
02:27:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK: DO YOU OWN ANY OTHER RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY IN
02:27:36PM THE CITY OF TAMPA?
02:27:37PM >> I DO.
02:27:38PM SOUTH TAMPA OVER BY MacDILL.
02:27:40PM A TOWNHOUSE.
02:27:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANTED -- OKAY, THANK YOU.
02:27:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION?
02:27:49PM >> YES.
02:27:51PM THEIR HARDSHIP IS MILITARY SERVICE.
02:27:53PM THEY ARE COMMITTED TO THAT MILITARY SERVICE THAT THEY CAN
02:27:55PM NOT GET OUT OF.
02:27:56PM WE ARE ASKING FOR, FIRST, THAT YOU RECOGNIZE THAT AND SECOND
02:27:59PM THAT YOU RECOGNIZE THE STRUCTURE IS EXISTING.
02:28:02PM AND THE THIRD ELEMENT OF THIS IS, PERHAPS, LOOKING AT SOME
02:28:06PM KIND OF WAIVERS THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED TO MILITARY
02:28:09PM PERSONNEL REGARDING LAND USE DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION
02:28:12PM ISSUES.
02:28:13PM ANYWAY, YES, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION UNLESS YOU HAVE
02:28:16PM SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR THEM.
02:28:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NOPE, ANYTHING ELSE.
02:28:20PM >> I WANT TO MENTION ONE MORE THING.
02:28:22PM THE ADU IS 450 SQUARE FEET THIS THEY MEET THE CRITERIA
02:28:28PM REGARDING SIZE AND THE ONLY OTHER ISSUES ARE THE SETBACK AND
02:28:31PM THE OWNER OCCUPANCY.
02:28:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:28:35PM ANYBODY HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT?
02:28:37PM YES, MA'AM.
02:28:38PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON, STEPHANIE POYNOR.
02:29:16PM WHAT I GAVE YOU IS THE PINK SHEET THAT STATE STATUTE
02:29:20PM SAYS THESE LADIES AND ANY OTHER ACTIVE-DUTY MEMBER IS
02:29:26PM ALLOWED TO RETAIN THEIR HOMESTEAD.
02:29:28PM WHAT HAS NOT BEEN EXPLAINED IS, THESE LADIES -- THE MLS LIST
02:29:34PM WHERE THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE IN THE SECOND PAGE.
02:29:36PM IN THE DESCRIPTION, FIRST OF ALL, IT SAYS MAIN HOUSE AND A
02:29:39PM DETACHED MOTHER-IN-LAW SUITE.
02:29:42PM THEY WERE SOLD SOMETHING THAT THEY THOUGHT WAS TOTALLY
02:29:45PM LEGAL.
02:29:45PM IF YOU ALSO PUT YOUR LITTLE FINGER DO YOU KNOW TO WHERE IT
02:29:49PM SAYS MOTHER-IN-LAW UNTIL 6 OF 22 AND MAIN HOUSE UNTIL 2023.
02:29:56PM THEY WERE RENTED WHEN THESE LADIES BOUGHT THE HOUSE.
02:29:59PM SO THESE LADIES BOUGHT THIS HOUSE THINKING THEY WERE GOING
02:30:02PM TO MOVE INTO THE BIGGER PART OF THE HOUSE AT SOME POINT AND
02:30:05PM WITHOUT THE ADU OR VICE VERSA.
02:30:08PM IT WAS ALREADY RENTED.
02:30:10PM IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY.
02:30:12PM NEVER ANY PERMITS FOR IT.
02:30:13PM I WENT INTO ACELA AND LOOKED.
02:30:16PM WHAT WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION IS THIS PINK PAGE ON
02:30:18PM THE FRONT.
02:30:19PM WHY THEY -- THEY NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO MOVE INTO THIS PLACE.
02:30:22PM THEY BOUGHT IT AS THEIR FOREVER HOME.
02:30:25PM AND THEN THEY GOT PCS.
02:30:28PM THEY HAD TO MOVE.
02:30:29PM THESE ARE FOLKS THAT I DEAL WITH EVERY DAY ON MY JOB.
02:30:31PM I KNOW YOU GUYS DON'T THINK I HAVE A JOB, BUT I DO.
02:30:35PM THESE ARE MY FOLKS -- THESE ARE THE FOLKS THAT I HELP RENT
02:30:38PM THEIR HOMES.
02:30:39PM AND THESE LADIES, I JUST LOOKED UP THE -- THE -- THE CASE
02:30:44PM BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I ALWAYS DO.
02:30:46PM BUT I FOUND THAT -- IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, I THINK THE
02:30:50PM CITY OF TAMPA NEEDS TO GIVE THE SAME HONOR TO OUR VETERANS
02:30:55PM WHO LEAVE THEIR HOUSES, OUR ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY WHO LEAVES
02:30:59PM THEIR HOMES AS ANYBODY ELSE.
02:31:01PM UP SENT YOU GUYS AN E-MAIL ABOUT THIS MONTHS AGO.
02:31:03PM I SENT IT TO THE LAND USE FOLKS AND I WANT IT TO BE TAKEN
02:31:07PM INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT HERE
02:31:10PM DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T LOVE THIS HOUSE.
02:31:12PM AND THAT IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO.
02:31:14PM I TONIGHT DEAL WITH INVESTORS.
02:31:16PM I DEAL WITH FOLKS WHO BOUGHT A HOUSE WHO LOVED IT AND THEY
02:31:20PM HAVE TO LEAVE IT.
02:31:20PM AND THAT IS -- THERE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MENTALITY
02:31:26PM WHEN YOU BUY A HOUSE WHEN YOU LOVE IT.
02:31:28PM THEY NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO MOVE INTO IT SO THEY STILL HAVE
02:31:31PM HOMESTEAD ON THEIR TOWNHOUSE.
02:31:33PM BUT I WANT MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THESE LADIES DIDN'T GET
02:31:39PM UP IN THE MORNING AND SAY I WILL BUILD SOMETHING AND I DON'T
02:31:42PM CARE WHAT EVERYBODY SAYS.
02:31:44PM THE PREVIOUS OWNER, WHOEVER IT WAS, HE HAD BEEN THERE
02:31:48PM FOREVER BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME IT WAS ON MLS.
02:31:52PM I SUPPORT THESE LADIES AND I APPRECIATE THEM FOR THEIR
02:31:55PM SERVICE.
02:31:55PM THIS I HAVE AN EXTRA COPY AND I WILL GIVE IT TO MARTY.
02:31:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:32:00PM WE GOT COPIES.
02:32:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT?
02:32:09PM NOBODY REGISTERED.
02:32:10PM REBUTTAL, SIR?
02:32:15PM >> NO, THE ONLY THING IS THEY BOUGHT IT IN GOOD FAITH AND
02:32:19PM OPERATED IN GOOD FAITH --
02:32:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HOLD ON, COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
02:32:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MY QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT HOMESTEAD.
02:32:27PM WELL, I THINK HOMESTEAD IS RELEVANT ONLY BECAUSE THAT IS THE
02:32:31PM WHOLE POINT OF THIS -- THAT IS WHY I ASKED IF THEY OWNED
02:32:34PM OTHER PROPERTY BECAUSE I -- THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
02:32:37PM THIS WASN'T SOMETHING THAT THEY WERE BUYING AND RENTING A
02:32:40PM BUNCH OF PLACES, BUT THIS IS THE HOUSE THEY WANTED TO
02:32:43PM HOMESTEAD BUT DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO MOVE INTO IT BECAUSE
02:32:46PM THE MILITARY MOVED THEM, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD PUNISH THEM
02:32:48PM FOR THAT.
02:32:49PM I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF WE HAVE ANY -- ANY -- ANYTHING IN THE
02:32:54PM LEGAL REALM THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS ABOUT HOMESTEAD AND
02:32:58PM THIS MAY NOT BE -- THIS MAY BE A QUESTION FOR BOB HENRIQUEZ,
02:33:03PM I DON'T KNOW, BUT --
02:33:06PM >> COUNCIL --
02:33:07PM >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE FROM THE
02:33:08PM LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
02:33:08PM CITY COUNCIL, I PROVIDED YOU THE CRY TER YE OF 27 -- WELL,
02:33:13PM IN THE STAFF REPORT, 27-132, THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR

02:33:19PM THOSE ARE THE ONLY -- THAT IS THE ONLY CRITERIA STAFF AND
02:33:23PM CITY COUNCIL CAN USE FOR THIS APPLICATION.
02:33:25PM AND IT IS NOT ABOUT -- SO I JUST WANT TO FOCUS YOUR
02:33:30PM ATTENTION ON WHAT IS IN THE CODE.
02:33:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
02:33:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. MICHELINI, CAN YOU -- CAN YOU POINT US
02:33:38PM TO EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT US TO CONSIDER TO OVERTURN STAFF'S
02:33:43PM DECISION.

02:33:57PM IT IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED AND BUILT WITH THE SETBACKS THAT
02:33:59PM ARE THERE.
02:34:00PM THE OTHER CRITERIA REGARDING THE SIZE OF THE STRUCTURE THAT
02:34:04PM MEETS THAT CRITERIA ALREADY.
02:34:06PM SO WE ARE NOT HERE FOR THAT.
02:34:09PM >> I HAVE THE FORM THEY E-MAILED ME IN ZONING WHY THEY
02:34:15PM DENIED IT.
02:34:16PM >> THEY HAVE THAT.
02:34:17PM THEY ARE JUST ASKING FOR WHAT THE MOTION NEEDS TO INCLUDE.
02:34:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WAS JUST -- CRITERIA FOR CODES.
02:34:24PM >> SPECIFICALLY THOSE ARE THE TWO CRITERIA.
02:34:28PM EXISTING STRUCTURE SHOULD BE VESTED AND THE OWNER OCCUPANCY
02:34:32PM ISSUE BE WAIVED.

02:39:41PM SAME SERVICES AND SAID, LISTEN, WE BELIEVE IN YOUR PROGRAM
02:39:43PM SO MUCH THAT WE WANT TO COME ALONGSIDE YOU AND OFFER YOU
02:39:47PM SOME OF THOSE SERVICES AS WELL.
02:39:49PM THAT IS THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF OUR PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE.
02:39:52PM I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT, IF I COULD, PLEASE SOME OF OUR
02:39:57PM COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT WE -- THAT WE PARTNER WITH.
02:40:01PM AS YOU CAN SEE A LONG LIST OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS WE DEAL
02:40:09PM WITH.
02:40:09PM A CLIENT WHO WE ARE DEALING WITH THAT IS UNDER BAKER ACT OR
02:40:13PM THOSE TO MAY NOT BE A BAKER ACT AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES
02:40:18PM THAT USE SERVICES.
02:40:19PM WE CAN REACH OUT TO MANY OF OUR PROVIDERS AND START
02:40:22PM CONNECTING THEM WITH SERVICES.
02:40:23PM WITH THAT SAID, THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM.
02:40:28PM HE WILL LET LIEUTENANT POLK TALK OF THE SUCCESS OF THE
02:40:34PM PROGRAM AND SOME OF THE STATS THAT WE HAD.
02:40:35PM LIEUTENANT.
02:40:36PM >> YES.
02:40:37PM SO HE IS GOING TO PUT UP SOME NUMBERS COMPARING 2023 TO
02:40:40PM 2024.
02:40:40PM AS YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF BAKER ACTS HAVE DECREASED.
02:40:43PM THE NUMBER OF FOLLOW-UPS, NEW CASES AND CLOSED CASES HAVE
02:40:48PM INCREASED.
02:40:49PM WE SEE THAT AS A POSITIVE AND OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH UNIT IS
02:40:53PM IN THE COMMUNITY SERVE WHAT WE WANT THEM TO DO.
02:40:56PM ALSO A KEY COMPONENT OF THIS BHU AS WE CALL IT, SERVES THE
02:41:01PM HIGHEST UTILIZER IN THE CITY.
02:41:03PM THOSE ARE PEOPLE WE ARE GETTING REPEAT CALLS FOR SERVICE IN
02:41:08PM THE MOST CRISIS THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT.
02:41:11PM TO GIVE YOU A SUCCESS STORY.
02:41:12PM A HOUSE WE RESPONDED TO.
02:41:14PM AN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCING MENTAL CRISIS OVER 500 TIMES IN A
02:41:19PM SIX-MONTH PERIOD.
02:41:20PM WE HOOKED THEM UP WITH THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH UNIT.
02:41:26PM LONG-TERM TREATMENT WITH AM SOME OF THE PARTNERS ON THE
02:41:30PM RIGHT MEDICATION AND FOR SEVEN MONTHS, WE HAVE NOT DEALT
02:41:32PM WITH AN INDIVIDUAL AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.
02:41:35PM THAT IS A SUCCESS.
02:41:37PM LOWERING -- FREEING UP RESOURCES THAT WE NEED OF TO ALLOW
02:41:43PM THE POLICE OFFICERS TO DO WHAT THEY DO.
02:41:45PM YOU CAN SEE THE SO HE TALL CLIENT SERVED WE ARE STEADILY
02:41:49PM INCREASING THAT AND SINCE INCEPTION, WE HAVE SERVED OVER
02:41:52PM 1,000 OF WHAT WE CALL "CLIENTS."
02:41:56PM PEOPLE THAT WE CONNECTED WITH SERVICES AND HELPED TO GET TO
02:41:58PM A GETTER PLACE.
02:42:00PM ALSO WE ARE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ONE OF OUR
02:42:03PM SISTER AGENCIES, WHICH IS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
02:42:06PM THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT MODEL THAT THEY USE.
02:42:14PM WE USE THE CO-RESPONDER AS CAPTAIN HAD MENTIONED.
02:42:18PM THEY HAVE THE CALL PROGRAM AND UTILIZING NAVIGATORS RATHER
02:42:22PM THAN THE LICENSED CLINICIANS.
02:42:24PM THESE ARE THE KIND OF CALLS THEY RESPOND.
02:42:27PM SUICIDE THREAT WITH NO WEAPON.
02:42:29PM PEOPLE WITH NO KNOWN VIOLENCE.
02:42:31PM THE KEY THING THAT IS STEPPING ON THIS.
02:42:34PM OUR PROGRAM FOCUSES ON MENTAL HEALTH THAT INCREASES TO
02:42:38PM INCLUDE TRUANCY, DISORDERLY JUVENILES AND HOMELESSNESS.
02:42:41PM I WILL SAY THIS PAST YEAR, WE RESTRUCTURED KIND OF HOW WE
02:42:46PM RUN THE -- THE BHU UNIT AND COMBINED IT WITH SRO AND HAS
02:42:55PM BEEN A GREAT SUCCESS FOR US.
02:42:58PM THOSE WHO ARE UNRULY AND MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS, WE ARE
02:43:02PM PUTTING IT ON OUR RADAR TO MONITOR YOUNGER AGES AND HOPE THE
02:43:07PM FAMILIES.
02:43:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT IS SRO?
02:43:10PM >> SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER, MA'AM, SORRY, YES.
02:43:13PM EMBEDDED IN THE SCHOOLS AND THE KIDS.
02:43:16PM WILL COME TO THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER -- PARENTS.
02:43:22PM WHAT DO I DO, STILL ON A WHIM?
02:43:27PM CAN HELP WITH YOU THE BHU UNIT.
02:43:30PM CAPTAIN WILL TALK OF OUR FUTURE THAT I BELIEVE IS BRIGHT AND
02:43:33PM I LOVE THAT YOU WANT TO GIVE US MONEY, WE LOVE THAT.
02:43:35PM BUT WE ARE GROWING THE PROGRAM AND WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF
02:43:38PM GRANTS THAT ALLOWED THAT.
02:43:39PM I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO CAPTAIN TO FOLLOW UP.
02:43:42PM >> THANK YOU.
02:43:43PM IF I CAN, ONE IMPORTANT DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE CALL PROGRAM
02:43:46PM AND TMDs.
02:43:48PM THEY WERE NOT LICENSED CLINICIANS.
02:43:51PM THE MENTAL HEALTH SIDE.
02:43:53PM THEIR EVALUATION PROCESS IS DIFFERENT THE BAKER ACT LIKE OUR
02:43:58PM INCLUDE CLINICIANS.
02:44:00PM BOTH PROGRAMS HAVE VALUE BOTH OF THEM RUN PARALLEL TRACKS.
02:44:09PM THEY FOCUS ON THE SOCIAL WORK SIDE OF THE HOUSE AND WE ARE
02:44:13PM DOING OUR SIDE.
02:44:13PM REPEAT CALLS OF SERVICE FOR OUR MENTAL HEALTH CLIENTS
02:44:16PM BECAUSE WE ALSO WANT TO REDUCE ANY -- OUR POLICIES ARE OUR
02:44:21PM GOALS.
02:44:21PM WE WANT TO REDUCE DEADLY FORCE EN COUNTERS FROM PEOPLE WHO
02:44:25PM ARE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH.
02:44:27PM WE ARE FOCUSING ON OUR SIDE ON THE MENTAL HEALTH AND THE
02:44:29PM CALL PROGRAM FOCUSES ON THE SOCIAL WORK SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
02:44:32PM BOTH EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
02:44:34PM WE HAVE A CONNECT AND PROTECT GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED WHERE
02:44:40PM WE ARE GOING TO EMBED CRISIS CENTER COUNSELORS AND SCALL
02:44:44PM TAKERS INSIDE OF OUR COMMUNICATION CENTER.
02:44:47PM WHEN THOSE CALLS FOR SERVICE COME IN FOR -- FOR A PERSON IN
02:44:52PM CRISIS, WE CAN HAVE SOMEBODY IN OF INSIDE OUR CALL CENTER,
02:44:55PM TAKE THAT CALL, TRIAGE IT, AND A LOT OF TIMES RESOLVE IT
02:44:59PM BEFORE IT EVEN GETS TO THE POLICE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
02:45:02PM SHOULD IT BE NEED POLICE SERVICE, TRANSFER OVER TO THE
02:45:09PM DISPATCH.
02:45:09PM SEND AN OFFICER ALONG WITH A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALIST
02:45:14PM AT THE TIME TO HANDLE THOSE CALLS.
02:45:18PM WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW OUR
02:45:21PM PROGRAM.
02:45:21PM WE WANT TO EXPAND.
02:45:24PM WE BELIEVE THERE IS A LOT OF VALUE IN WHAT WE DO.
02:45:27PM WE BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL THUS FAR AND READY FOR A
02:45:32PM GREAT FUTURE.
02:45:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA.
02:45:34PM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU YOUR PRESENTATION.
02:45:36PM I BELIEVE YOU ARE TRUE RESPONDERS.
02:45:40PM AND NO DISRESPECT TO OTHER CITIES, I THINK THAT IS GOOD AND
02:45:43PM SAFER FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.
02:45:46PM I HAPPEN TO THINK THAT.
02:45:47PM BUT THIS -- THIS IS SOMETHING GREAT THAT GOES A LOT FOR
02:45:50PM DEESCALATION.
02:45:52PM HELPS THE GOOD GUYS DO THEIR JOB AND GET THE PEOPLE OUT
02:45:56PM THERE WITH SPECIALTY AND MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES.
02:45:58PM I THINK WE ALL COME FROM THE POSITION ON THIS THAT WE ARE
02:46:01PM ALL ONE CRISIS AWAY FROM A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
02:46:05PM EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS LOOM, MYSELF INCLUDED MANY HAVE
02:46:10PM BEEN THERE.
02:46:10PM IF YOU HAVE NOT, YOU WILL BE.
02:46:12PM PART OF BEING A HUMAN BEING.
02:46:13PM I WANT TO BE MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE THIS COME BACK IN AUGUST.
02:46:16PM LET ME ASK YOU ALL, IF I MAY, HOW MUCH THIS FUNDED IN THE
02:46:21PM BUDGET.
02:46:21PM IF YOU DON'T KNOW, THAT'S TOTALLY FINE.
02:46:24PM >> OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I DON'T KNOW THE TOTAL BADGE.
02:46:29PM I KNOW WE HAVE A PARTNER IN CONTRACT -- WE PARTNER WITH SOME
02:46:33PM OF OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS AROUND $100,000 TO LOOK AT OUR
02:46:37PM OPERATING COSTS.
02:46:38PM VIM TO GO BACK TO THAT RANGE OF $500,000 TO $600,000.
02:46:52PM >>LUIS VIERA: I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE IT COME BACK US
02:46:55PM TO IN AUGUST SO THE ADMINISTRATION CAN PROPOSE TO US THE
02:46:58PM PROJECTED BUDGET AND HOPEFULLY HAVE A GOOD ROBUST INCREASE
02:47:02PM IN IT.
02:47:02PM I BELIEVE TO GIVE KUDOS AND IT WAS BY FORMER COUNCILMAN
02:47:11PM DINGFELDER.
02:47:11PM SEPTEMBER OF 2020.
02:47:13PM I REMEMBER WHEN HE MADE IT.
02:47:15PM I WAS SITTING AT MY COMPUTER AT HOME BECAUSE WE WERE
02:47:20PM VIRTUAL.
02:47:20PM I WANT TO SAY THAT AND THANK YOU, GUYS.
02:47:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
02:47:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
02:47:27PM I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE PROVIDING.
02:47:28PM I AM SURPRISED THERE IS A LOT OF FOCUS ON BAKER ACTING.
02:47:32PM THAT IS CONCERNING FOR ME BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
02:47:37PM THAT HAVE BEHAVIORAL CRISES THAT DON'T -- THE MAJORITY OF
02:47:45PM DON'T RISE TO THE BAKER ACT LEVEL.
02:47:47PM WHEN TALKING OF NUMBERS, TALK OF THE PEOPLE YOU ARE REACHING
02:47:51PM INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE YOU ARE BAKER ACTING.
02:47:55PM >> YES, MA'AM.
02:47:55PM WE DON'T JUST FOCUS ON BAKER ACTS BUT THE REDUCTION OF BAKER
02:48:03PM ACTS.
02:48:03PM EACH TEAM IS SPECIAL SLIDED.
02:48:07PM CUSTOMERS THAT ARE SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELORS AND
02:48:10PM THERAPISTS.
02:48:11PM THEY HAVE THAT SPECIALTY, AND ALL THE STUFF THAT DEALT WITH
02:48:15PM SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS WE TOOK A LEAD
02:48:18PM ON.
02:48:18PM THEY HAD A TIME THAT CAN SPECIALIZE.
02:48:24PM SPECIALIZE IN VETERANS, HOMELESSNESS, YOUTH AND STUFF LIKE
02:48:29PM THAT.
02:48:29PM WE INCORPORATE ALL OF THAT.
02:48:31PM NOT JUST BAKER ACTS.
02:48:32PM WE WERE TRYING TO SHOW A REDUCTION OF BAKER ACTS WHICH IS A
02:48:38PM POSITIVE THING.
02:48:40PM WHEN WE RESPOND TO THE SCENE, THE CLINICIAN IS OFF TO THE
02:48:45PM LEAD.
02:48:45PM AUTOMATICALLY TO COUNCILMAN VIERA'S POINT DEESCALATES.
02:48:50PM WE SHOW UP LIKE THIS, WE LOOK SCARY, RIGHT.
02:48:54PM WHEN THE CLINICIAN SHOWS UP IT SOFTENS THAT INVESTIGATION.
02:49:00PM AND PERSON IN CRISIS OR ON THE MENTAL HEALTH, THEY FEEL MORE
02:49:07PM COMFORTABLE TALK UP TO.
02:49:09PM >> MA'AM, ONE FINAL NOTE.
02:49:14PM PART OF OUR GOAL IS TO REDUCE BAKER ACT.
02:49:17PM TO DRIVE DOWN THE BAKER ACT AS A MATTER OF FACT.
02:49:21PM WE UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF BAKER ACTING SOMEBODY, AND OUR
02:49:25PM GOAL IS TO REDUCE THAT.
02:49:26PM >> I THINK THAT IS WONDERFUL.
02:49:27PM AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND I DISAGREE WITH COUNCILMAN VIERA.
02:49:43PM AND THE LAST INFORMATION WAS 3,000 CALLS IN A YEAR WHERE
02:49:46PM THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO CALL FOR A BACK-UP OF AN OFFICER AT ALL.
02:49:50PM I AM LOOKING FOR IF WE HAVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO HAVE KIND
02:49:54PM OF BOTH MODELS BUT CLAUSE THINGS LIKE TRUANCY AND
02:50:02PM HOMELESSNESS.
02:50:03PM IF WE CAN ADD TO YOUR TEEN, IF WE WERE, WE COULD REACH IN
02:50:07PM DIFFERENT AREAS YOU HAVE A HOMELESS LIAISON DEPARTMENT AND
02:50:12PM BURN IN HOUSING OR GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
02:50:15PM COMBINING ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER IS A WORTHY GOAL GOING
02:50:19PM FORWARD HAVING A TECHNICIAN TO THE TAKE IT OUT OF MAYOR'S
02:50:31PM HANDS.
02:50:31PM FOR WORK.
02:50:33PM IT IS SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE IS BETTER TRAINED TO DO.
02:50:36PM I THINK ADDING MORE PEOPLE TO THE TEAM THAT CAN DO THE WORK.
02:50:39PM QUITE FRANKLY THAT YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE DOING EITHER
02:50:44PM AND A LOT OF THAT IS PUT ON YOU AS THE SAFETY ASKS YOU ALL
02:50:48PM TO PRETTY MUCH SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM OUT OF THE SUN.
02:50:51PM AS I DO RIDE OPINION ALONG, I AM AMAZED AT THE TYPES OF
02:50:56PM CALLS YOU GO TO.
02:50:56PM ALWAYS FASCINATING.
02:50:58PM ANYTHING TO HELP AND BOOST IT AND EXPAND IT IN WAYS TO REACH
02:51:05PM OVER, SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN YOUR ORIGINAL MOTION,
02:51:07PM WHAT ARE WAYS WE CAN AND IF TO SEE WE CAN BRING MORE
02:51:14PM NONCLINICIANS IN TO HELP ROUND OF TO OUT WITH TRUANCY AND
02:51:20PM HOMELESSNESS.
02:51:21PM UP FORGOT THE OTHER ITEM ON THE SLIDE.
02:51:23PM BUT THOSE SO YOU CAN EXPAND THIS WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL
02:51:28PM PROGRAM.
02:51:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
02:51:32PM >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU FOR THE THOROUGH UPDATE AND
02:51:36PM ENTHUSIASM.
02:51:37PM ANYBODY WHO IS WATCHING AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING
02:51:39PM WITH THE GENESIS OF.
02:51:40PM COUNCILMAN VIERA MENTION IT BRIEFLY.
02:51:42PM BACK IN 2020, A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY CAME FORWARD
02:51:46PM AND ASKED US TO ADOPT A CAHOOTS STYLE PROGRAM.
02:51:49PM CITY COUNCIL WITH NOT DO THAT IN OUR OWN WINDY THIS HYBRID
02:51:55PM WAS THE SOLUTION THAT THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDED.
02:51:58PM THERE WERE SOME FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WERE HAPPY THAT
02:52:01PM IN WE HAD SOMETHING AND SOME WERE UNHAPPY WE DIDN'T GO FAR
02:52:06PM ENOUGH.
02:52:07PM THEY BROUGHT UP THE CAR PROGRAM AND CAHOOTS THAT YOU
02:52:12PM MENTIONED.
02:52:12PM ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS THAT THE COMMUNITY HAD WAS KIND OF
02:52:16PM WHAT IS REFERENCED RIGHT NOW IS SITUATIONS WHERE SOMEONE
02:52:18PM MIGHT BE HAVING MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGE AND A POLICE OFFICER
02:52:29PM WASN'T TRAINED AND CONCERNS THAT IT COULD PUT THE PERSON'S
02:52:32PM LIFE AT RISK OR POLICE OFFICER'S LIFE AT RISK.
02:52:35PM HAVING AN INTERVENTION WITH PEOPLE WHO HELP, HELPS GET
02:52:40PM PEOPLE THE NEED AND SOUND LIKE IT HAS BEEN A SUCCESS BASE ON
02:52:45PM WHAT YOU SAID.
02:52:46PM SOME OF THE MENTAL HEALTH PEOPLE I TALKED TO WERE AFRAID TO
02:52:53PM GO WITHOUT POLICE OFFICERS.
02:52:55PM AND THERE ARE PROGRAMS LIKE CAHOOTS THAT DO.
02:52:58PM CAN YOU BRIEFLY JUST TELL US ANY MORE FLAVOR OF WHAT YOU
02:53:04PM THINK THE PROS AND CONS WILL BE OF A CAHOOTS PROGRAM VERSUS
02:53:08PM WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND TELLING MORE STORIES.
02:53:16PM IN AUGUST, IT WILL BE GREAT TO GIVE MORE EXAMPLES OF
02:53:20PM ANECDOTES WHERE THE INTERVENTION HELPED IMPROVE SOMEBODY'S
02:53:23PM LIFE AND SITUATION AND PROTECT THE LIVES OF POLICE OFFICERS.
02:53:26PM >> YES, SIR, WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF SUCCESS STORY AND WANT TO
02:53:31PM SHARE THOSE.
02:53:31PM YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO TELL US ABOUT ALL 100 OF THEM.
02:53:36PM WE AGREE, VALUE TO BOTH PROGRAMS.
02:53:41PM WE HIRED NUMEROUS CLINICIANS NOW.
02:53:44PM I THINK SAFETY IS A CONCERN FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
02:53:51PM THEY ARE NOT IDEA INTEREST ON THE STREETS.
02:53:54PM GOING OUT.
02:53:55PM PEOPLE COME TO THEM.
02:53:56PM THE MAP AROUND SERVICES IS THE KEY TO CASE MANAGEMENT AND
02:54:02PM HAVE ANYONE CONNECT WITH PROVIDERS, VETERAN AFFAIRS,
02:54:06PM HOMELESSNESS OR HOUSING THOSE ARE THE REAL -- A LOT TIME
02:54:10PM MENTAL HEALTH MAY BE ONE THING BUT THE SCORE PROBLEM IS
02:54:13PM SOMETHING ELSE HOW WE GET INTRODUCED TO THOSE FOLKS.
02:54:17PM I THINK THE CALL PROGRAM SOMETHING GREAT.
02:54:19PM AND THE OTHER PROGRAMS ARE GREAT FOR WRAP-AROUND SERVICES
02:54:23PM AND STUFF LIKE THAT I THINK FOR MENTAL HEALTH, WHAT WE ARE
02:54:29PM DOING IS THE MOST COMMON MODEL IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.
02:54:32PM 2700 AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE ADOPTED THE MENTAL
02:54:38PM HEALTH MODEL AND COUNCILMAN CARLSON, TO YOUR POINT OF
02:54:41PM TRAINING ALL OFFICERS ON MENTAL HEALTH.
02:54:43PM WE HAVE STARTED DRAINING EVERY YEAR HIRED WHICH THE POLICE
02:54:47PM DEPARTMENT IN DRIVE TIS INTERVENTION TRAINING.
02:54:50PM POUR MENTAL HEALTH UNIT DOES THAT TRAINING FOR EVERY SPHERE
02:54:58PM THEY ARE GETTING 40 HOURS AND OUTSIDE.
02:55:00PM >> FOLKS.
02:55:00PM PEOPLE WITH DOCTOR'S DEGREES COME IN AND DO THE PRESENTATION
02:55:05PM FOR US.
02:55:06PM ALL OF THE OFFICERS ON THE STREET ARE TRAINED IN MENTAL
02:55:09PM HEALTH.
02:55:09PM OUR BHU UNIT.
02:55:12PM ON OF THE OTHER SIDE IS MORE TRAINED.
02:55:15PM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I JUST SAY YOU ALL ARE DOING A LOT OF
02:55:20PM WHAT THE COMMUNITY ASKED US FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
02:55:23PM AND GREAT FOR THE COMMUNICATION PEOPLE WATCHING IN WE CAN
02:55:27PM PUSH THIS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE MORE THE
02:55:29PM COMMUNITY KNOWS WHAT ABOUT YOU ARE DOING AND CAN GO THROUGH
02:55:35PM MORE CASE STUDY AND HOPE IT PUT THE COMMUNITY RAT EASE AND
02:55:38PM LET THEM KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL LISTENING TO THEM.
02:55:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
02:55:44PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I HAVE A QUESTION IS OF THE COMMUNICATION
02:55:46PM WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR UNIT IN
02:55:50PM TERMS OF EXPANDING IT.
02:55:51PM WHAT CONVERSATIONS AT AN EXECUTIVE OF LEVEL FOR THE CHIEF OF
02:55:55PM POLICE.
02:55:56PM ARE YOU ASKING IN RETURN TO INCREASE AND HELP THE PROGRAM?
02:56:01PM >> MA'AM, WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW OUR
02:56:04PM PROGRAM.
02:56:04PM I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SPEAKING WITH THE CHIEF ON THINGS
02:56:10PM HE WOULD LIKE TO DO.
02:56:10PM I KNOW HE DESIRES TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM MORE ROBUST.
02:56:14PM THERE IS A LOT OF NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
02:56:16PM WE LOOK AT THE MODEL THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.
02:56:26PM WE TWO LOVE TO EXPAND ON SPECIFICS AND HAVE TO DEFER TO THE
02:56:31PM CHIEF'S OFFICER THERE.
02:56:41PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: WE ARE HITTING THE CITY'S BUDGET SESSION
02:56:44PM AND TO PUT THE OFFICER AND OUR CITIZENS AT RISK.
02:56:47PM THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT IS DAY -- DATA,
02:56:55PM KEEP GRAPHICAL DISTRICT HOW YOU ARE ADDRESSING IN THROUGHOUT
02:57:00PM THE CITY.
02:57:02PM DO YOU HAVE DATA ON WHERE THE INCIDENTS OCCUR?
02:57:05PM >> VERY DATA-DRIVEN.
02:57:08PM WE TRACK EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.
02:57:10PM BECAUSE OUR UNIT IS SO SMALL.
02:57:13PM WE HAVE FOUR TWO-MAN TEAMS.
02:57:16PM THEY ARE CITY WOOD PIED.
02:57:18PM FOR LAYTON -- AFTER THE FACT.
02:57:20PM IF AN OFFICER REACHES OUT AND SAYS THIS INDIVIDUAL COULD USE
02:57:25PM THE SERVICES OF THE BHD.
02:57:27PM WE HAVE DIVISIONS.
02:57:29PM TWO ON THE NORTH SIDE AND SPLIT THE CITY IN HALF OFTEN THE
02:57:36PM AFTER THE FACT INVESTIGATION.
02:57:37PM FOR LIVE CALLS PART OF WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO.
02:57:41PM MAYBE SOMEONE HAS A GUN SAND THREATENING SOMETHING.
02:57:43PM THAT IS WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO BE RESPOND CONTINUE TO THAT.
02:57:45PM OF THE NONCO-RESPONDER TEAMS ARE NOT.
02:57:54PM TO PULL OUT DATA WHERE THE MOST BAKER ACTS AND MENTAL HEALTH
02:57:58PM CALLS FOR SERVICE BACK LITTLE PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THE CALL
02:58:02PM DOESN'T COME OUT AS THAT.
02:58:03PM THERE IS THIS GUY WONDERING AROUND THE CVS.
02:58:08PM ONCE WE GET THERE OR THE OFFICER RESPONDS.
02:58:11PM WAIT A MINUTE, SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON HERE AND WIND UP
02:58:15PM CALLING OUR MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC WHEN SOMETHING A LITTLE
02:58:20PM DIFFERENT.
02:58:21PM THEY ARE ACCURATELY CAPTURED.
02:58:23PM YES, WE COLLECT THE DATA AND CITY WIDE.
02:58:27PM WHEN WE HAVE CRIME AND AREA THAT CRIME IS OCCURRING IN AND
02:58:31PM WE DON'T SEE THAT AS MUCH OFTEN THE MENTAL HEALTH SIDE.
02:58:34PM OUR STRUGGLE TENDS TO BE GEOGRAPHIC HEALTH TEAM IN NEW
02:58:42PM COMPANY AND SOUTH OF GANDY.
02:58:43PM A LONG DRIVE, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS 5:00.
02:58:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA.
02:58:50PM IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION.
02:58:52PM >>LUIS VIERA: IF I NAY, I WILL ASK THE ADMINISTRATION TO
02:58:57PM COME BACK IN TO AUGUST WHERE THE CONCERNS.
02:59:03PM LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE AMENABLE.
02:59:05PM IMPROVEMENTS WE CAN MAKE TO THE -- TO THE EXISTING MODEL.
02:59:09PM IS THAT SOMETHING THAT --
02:59:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
02:59:13PM SPECIFICALLY TO SEE IF WE CAN -- WHAT HAD YOU CALL THE
02:59:19PM SOCIAL WORKER SIDE OF JUST KIND OF ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL,
02:59:22PM LET'S BE HONEST, CHEAPER PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP WITH THE SOCIAL
02:59:27PM SERVICE TYPE WORK THAT WOULD BENEFIT AND HELP BRING YOUR --
02:59:34PM WHAT YOU DO JUST TO ELEVATE IT TO SUPPORT IN OTHER AREAS.
02:59:37PM BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THESE TYPES OF SUPPORT WORKERS, TOO,
02:59:42PM ITS -- THEY HAVE THEIR SPECIALTIES AND QUITE HONESTLY THEY
02:59:46PM HAVE -- THEY HAVE VERY DIFFERENT SPECIALTIES, BUT THEY DON'T
02:59:48PM HAVE THE SPECIFIC TRAINING OF OUR OFFICERS WHO ARE
02:59:55PM WELL-INTENTIONED AND -- BUT -- BUT YOU ARE BETTER EQUIPPED
02:59:58PM TO TEAL WITH ACTUAL POLICE MATTERS.
03:00:02PM >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY INQUIRE, TO GO ALONG WITH LAWYERS.
03:00:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK: NOT TO GO ALONG WITH POLICE OFFICERS BUT TO
03:00:09PM LOOK AT THE CALL MODEL.
03:00:11PM TO NOT GET RID OF WHAT WE ARE DOING BUT TO ADD PEOPLE ON.
03:00:14PM AND I BELIEVE YOU CALLED THEM NON --
03:00:19PM >> NAVIGATORS.
03:00:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, NAVIGATORS.
03:00:22PM THEY WILL BE AN ADD-ON FOR SOME OF THE ISSUES WE DON'T DEAL
03:00:26PM WITH, THE HOMELESSNESS, THE TRUANCY, THE OVER ONE I CAN'T
03:00:30PM REMEMBER TO GROW THE PROGRAMS SO THAT THIS PROGRAM CAN TRULY
03:00:35PM REACH EVERYONE.
03:00:36PM >>LUIS VIERA: SURE.
03:00:37PM WHAT I WILL DO IF, IF I MAY, TO HAVE ADMINISTRATION TALK OF
03:00:41PM THAT OPTION AND ETC. AND PRESENT IT ALL AND SEE IF THEY ARE

03:02:23PM BUDGET ANALYST.
03:02:26PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: JUST A SUGGESTION BASED ON THE HOUR, AND I
03:02:30PM DON'T WANT TO HOLD UP THE REST OF TODAY'S MEETING.
03:02:33PM I AM PREPARED TO DO IT TODAY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS IN
03:02:36PM THE BEST INTEREST OF CITY COUNCIL AT THIS TIME.
03:02:39PM >>BILL CARLSON: I CAN STAY AS LATE AS YOU NEED.
03:02:41PM MR. CHAIR, CAN I POINT OUT ONE OTHER THING.
03:02:45PM 46, WE HAVE A GROUP OF FOLKS WAITING A LONG TIME TODAY.

03:03:06PM 48, 49 AND 50.
03:03:10PM ARE WE GOOD?
03:03:12PM YOU ARE NOT TALKING TO ME?
03:03:13PM OKAY.
03:03:13PM [LAUGHTER]
03:03:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON PULLED ITEM NUMBER
03:03:19PM 30.
03:03:19PM AND THEN WE HAVE ITEM 41.
03:03:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO 30.
03:03:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SHOULDN'T BE LONG.
03:03:26PM NEITHER SHOULD TAKE LONG.
03:03:29PM YES, MA'AM, ITEM NUMBER 30.
03:03:31PM >>BILL CARLSON: MY PURPOSE FOR PULLING ITEM NUMBER 30 IS SO
03:03:36PM -- ON THE SURFACE, IT IS TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY, BUT I WANTED
03:03:40PM THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT IS FOR.
03:03:43PM >>ANDREA ZELMAN: GOOD AFTERNOON, ANDREA ZELMAN, CITY
03:03:49PM ATTORNEY.
03:03:49PM WHILE WE ARE HIRING AN ATTORNEY, WE ARE NOT REALLY HIRING
03:03:52PM HER FOR THE PURPOSE OF REPRESENTING THE CITY AS OUTSIDE
03:04:01PM COUNSEL AS MUCH AS BAG PROJECT MANAGER.
03:04:04PM SPECIFICALLY YOU RECALL BACK IN DECEMBER, YOU ALL APPROVED A
03:04:08PM SETTLEMENT OF A LAWSUIT THAT PERTAIN TO A PARENTAL LEAVE
03:04:12PM POLICY FROM 2017-2018.
03:04:14PM AND -- AND WE ENTERED INTO A CONSENT DECREE WITH THE
03:04:21PM DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WHICH -- ONCE IT IS APPROVED BY THE
03:04:25PM COURT WILL REQUIRE OUR HR DEPARTMENT TO DO A LOT OF
03:04:31PM PAPERWORK, COORDINATION, TRAINING, ARRANGING FOR TRAINING,
03:04:36PM ARRANGING FOR UPDATING POLICIES, AND FRANKLY, THERE -- IT
03:04:44PM WAS TOO MUCH FOR THE CURRENT STAFF AT HR, SO IS THE THOUGHT
03:04:48PM WAS TO FIND SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE CITY THAT COULD BE SORT OF
03:04:53PM THE COMPLIANCE MONITOR AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY DIDN'T
03:04:57PM MISS ANY DEADLINES BECAUSE THE CONSENT DECREE HAS A LOT OF
03:05:02PM TIGHT DEADLINES.
03:05:03PM SO THE FIRM WE FOUND IS A LAW FIRM THAT ALSO DOES THIS TYPE
03:05:08PM OF COMPLIANCE CONSULTING.
03:05:10PM SO THIS -- SO THIS IS SIMPLY A CONTRACT TO HIRE THEM.
03:05:14PM IT'S CAPPED AT $25,000.
03:05:16PM IT IS ESTIMATED IT WON'T LAST MORE THAN A YEAR, SO THAT'S
03:05:21PM WHAT THIS IS.
03:05:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
03:05:26PM YOUR COMMITTEE.
03:05:27PM WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD --
03:05:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN

03:06:07PM A MEMO WAS SUBMITTED.
03:06:08PM IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.
03:06:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. WASHINGTON?
03:06:13PM DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM?
03:06:16PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: SO MOVED.

03:06:26PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: THANK YOU, YOU AS WELL.
03:06:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ITEM NUMBER 46.
03:06:29PM I SEE MISS WYNN.
03:06:36PM >>OCEA WYNN: GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
03:06:38PM OCEA WYNN, DIRECTOR OF NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS.
03:06:42PM I NEED TO CATCH MY BREATH FOR A SECOND.
03:06:44PM COUNCIL, YOU ASKED US TO COME BEFORE YOU ON RESPONDING TO A
03:06:53PM WORKSHOP MOTION FROM FEBRUARY 22 REGARDING A REPORT OR A
03:07:00PM PROPOSAL TO CREATE A RACIAL RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE BY THE
03:07:09PM ADMINISTRATION.
03:07:09PM AND I SUBMITTED A MEMO TO SAY THAT FROM THE -- BASED ON THE
03:07:17PM CHARTER, THAT YOU HAVE THIS THE ABILITY TO CREATE THAT
03:07:20PM COMMITTEE WITH THE APPROVAL FOR THE MAYOR.
03:07:23PM AND WE DO APPROVE YOU ON BEHALF THE MAYOR, WE DO APPROVE YOU
03:07:28PM COMMITTING -- CREATING THAT -- SORRY, WE DO APPROVE YOU
03:07:33PM CREATING THE COMMITTEE FOR THE RACIAL RECONCILIATION AS PER
03:07:38PM CHARTER.
03:07:38PM COUNCILMAN VIERA, YOU PROVIDED A REPORT.
03:07:47PM I AM SURE ALL OF YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT -- REGARDING TOPICS
03:07:52PM FOR THE RACIAL RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE.
03:07:58PM I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WE -- THE ADMINISTRATION, WE CAN
03:08:02PM PROVIDE MEMBERS TO THE -- OR NAMES FOR THE COMMITTEE BASED
03:08:09PM ON SOME OF THE ADVISORY COUNCILS THAT WE ALREADY HAD THAT
03:08:13PM HAVE ALREADY WORKED IN THE SPACE.
03:08:14PM SO THAT WILL GIVE YOU A LEG UP ON NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH,
03:08:21PM BUT FROM THE WORK THAT IS ALREADY DONE FOR AN EXAMPLE, THE
03:08:24PM AFFORDABLE HOUSING -- THE AFFORDABLE AND ATTAINABLE HOUSING.
03:08:29PM WE HAD A COMMITTEE FOR THAT.
03:08:30PM I AM NOT SURE IF YOU ARE AWARE OR NOT, BUT WE HAD A
03:08:34PM COMMITTEE FOR PARKS AND RECREATION AND YOUTH THAT INCLUDED
03:08:40PM NOT ONLY HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, BUT SOME OF THE OTHER PARKS
03:08:43PM RELATED -- YOUTH RELATED ENTITIES WITHIN THE CITY OR
03:08:47PM ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE CITY.
03:08:48PM SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT OR RECOMMENDATION
03:08:57PM TO YOU THAT WE CAN IN FACT OR ARE FOLLOWING PROVIDE MEMBERS
03:09:00PM AS YOU CREATE THIS COMMITTEE FOR -- BASED ON WHAT HAD YOU
03:09:06PM ALREADY -- BASED ON THE COMMITTEES THAT WE HAVE -- THE
03:09:10PM ADVISORY COUNCILS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY HAD.
03:09:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO FOR CLARITY, YOU ARE SAYING A
03:09:17PM "SUGGESTED" LIST OF PEOPLE.
03:09:18PM >>OCEA WYNN: A SUGGESTED LIST OF PEOPLE SINCE WE ALREADY
03:09:23PM WORKED IN THAT SPACE.
03:09:24PM AND SOME OF THESE COMMITTEES.
03:09:26PM AND YOU CAN JUST LEVERAGE FROM THEM THE WORK THAT THEY HAVE
03:09:29PM DONE AND MOVE FORWARD FROM .
03:09:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THIS WOULDN'T PROHIBIT FOR
03:09:38PM COUNCILMEMBERS TO SELECT WHO WE CHOOSE.
03:09:43PM >>OCEA WYNN: WE PREFER YOU TO SELECT THEM FROM YOUR OWN
03:09:46PM COMMITTEE OR COUNCIL, BUT WE ARE BE AVAILABLE TO GIVE NAMES
03:09:51PM TO YOU.
03:09:51PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF I WANTED TO APPOINT A MEMBER OF THE
03:09:54PM COMMUNITY AT MY DISCRETION AND ANY COUNCILMEMBERS?
03:09:58PM >>OCEA WYNN: YES, SIR, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS SAYING.
03:10:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:10:02PM COUNCILMAN VIERA, IT IS YOUR MOTION.
03:10:06PM >>LUIS VIERA: MISS WYNN SECOND TIME I WILL TELL YOU THANK
03:10:12PM YOU AGAIN.
03:10:12PM VERY, VERY IMPORTANT COMMITTEE.
03:10:15PM AFTER TALKING WITH A LOT OF FOLKS, SOME COUNTY FOLKS WHO
03:10:19PM HAVE BEEN HERE TODAY, ETC., INCLUDING IN THE ROOM RIGHT NOW.
03:10:22PM JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE -- YOU KNOW, WE SET PIVOTAL TOPICS
03:10:27PM AND GIVE THE COMMITTEE CRITICAL GUIDANCE ON CRITICAL ISSUE
03:10:31PM OF RACIAL EQUITY.
03:10:33PM AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
03:10:34PM RESTORATION OF RIGHTS.
03:10:36PM WE LOOK AT ALL THESE ISSUES OF AFFORDABLE AND ATTAINABLE
03:10:40PM HOUSING.
03:10:41PM RESTORATION OF RIGHTS.
03:10:42PM FINISHING THE WORK AFTER AMENDMENT FOUR.
03:10:46PM NEW STATUTE HAS IMPLEMENTATION.
03:10:49PM RETURNING CITIZENS.
03:10:50PM SOMETHING WE WORK A LOT ON.
03:10:52PM ENTREPRENEURSHIP, ECONOMIC, CONTRACTING AND INCLUDE
03:10:56PM EVERYTHING FROM HISTORICAL MARKERS TO CEMETERIES.
03:10:59PM THINGS THAT ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
03:11:01PM I SUGGESTED IN THIS MEMO -- AND COUNCIL, DO WITH IT WHAT YOU
03:11:05PM WILL, SOME FRAMEWORKS FOR APPOINTMENTS THAT COULD HAVE YOU
03:11:09PM GUYS, THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HAVING SIX -- EACH COUNCIL MEMBER
03:11:13PM HAVING ONE.
03:11:14PM SEVEN IN TOTAL FROM TAMPA CITY COUNCIL.
03:11:17PM A FACILITATOR IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
03:11:19PM I SPOKE TO SOME INDIVIDUALS FROM VOLUNTARY BAR ASSOCIATIONS
03:11:22PM AND I HAD SIGNIFICANT INTEREST FROM THAT.
03:11:25PM WE ARE NOT YET FINALIZED THERE BUT THAT SHOULD BE HOPEFULLY
03:11:29PM FORTHCOMING AND AGAIN STAFF.
03:11:31PM AND REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
03:11:33PM WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AND I THINK I GOT IT, RIGHT, WITH THE
03:11:37PM MAY I DON'T REMEMBER SUPPORTING IT WAS NOT JUST SAYING, YES,
03:11:39PM IT CAN BE DONE BUT TO SAY YES, AND WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT
03:11:42PM YOU.
03:11:42PM AND THAT IS THE MESSAGE THAT I HEAR TODAY.
03:11:44PM SO I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
03:11:46PM AND I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
03:11:48PM I ALSO SUGGESTED THESE MEETINGS TAKE PLACE AT CITY CENTER.
03:11:52PM AGAIN, HOWEVER COUNCIL MAY GO HAVING THE SUNSET CAN OF THE
03:11:59PM COMMITTEE, ETC.
03:12:00PM HAVING OUR ATTORNEY MR. SHELBY NOT AS A FACILITATOR BUT TO
03:12:04PM MAKE SURE THAT THE LETTER OF LAW IS FOLLOWED.
03:12:06PM THAT'S IT.
03:12:07PM BUT, AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
03:12:08PM WE REALLY APPRECIATE BUT.
03:12:11PM MAYBE COUNCIL, WE CAN DOG ABOUT THIS, FLESH THIS OUT, AND
03:12:15PM MAYBE HAVE APPOINTMENTS FINISHED WITHIN THE MONTH AND HAVE
03:12:18PM THE COMMITTEE READY TO GO, I AM THINKING.
03:12:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I LOOKED AT YOUR -- THEN I WILL GO TO
03:12:24PM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
03:12:25PM I LOOKED AT YOUR MEMO, AND I LIKE HOW ORGANIZED IT IS.
03:12:29PM AND THE TOPICS THAT ARE.
03:12:35PM THE COMMITTEE AFFORDABLE ATTAINABLE HOUSING,
03:12:40PM ENTREPRENEURSHIP, CONTRACTING FOR MARGINALIZED AREAS AND
03:12:43PM IGNORED HISTORY WHICH INCLUDE HISTORICAL MARKERS, CEMETERIES
03:12:49PM AND ETC.
03:12:49PM JUST LOOKING AT HERE.
03:12:53PM I THINK IT IS WELL ORGANIZED.
03:13:01PM INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS.
03:13:03PM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
03:13:05PM >>BILL CARLSON: TWO THINGS.
03:13:06PM ONE IS, WHAT I HEAR IS THAT THE MAYOR DOESN'T OPPOSE IT, BUT
03:13:11PM I DON'T SEE THAT THE MAYOR IS PUTTING HE SOURCES IN IT.
03:13:14PM IF THAT IS WRONG, YOU CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS.
03:13:20PM YOU ALL WILL REMEMBER AFTER I PRESENTED -- AFTER YOU ALLOWED
03:13:24PM ME TO PRESENT THE TAMPA SCORECARD.COM FOR THE FIRST TIME
03:13:27PM FOUR YEARS AGO, THAT TAMPA SCORECARD CLEARLY SHOWS
03:13:32PM INEQUITIES IN THE COMMUNITY, DISPARITIES OF MEN AND WOMEN
03:13:35PM AND BLACKS AND WHITES AND TAMPA IN PARTICULAR WITH CITIES
03:13:38PM LIKE SWEET AND OTHERS THE COMMITTEE SAID WHAT ARE YOU GOING
03:13:46PM TO DO ABOUT IT.
03:13:47PM A COMMITTEE MADE OF VARIOUS FOLKS AND USF TO HELP THE
03:13:54PM COMMUNITY THROUGH THE DATA.
03:13:55PM AND THE MAYOR OFFERED TO CHAIR IT.
03:13:58PM IN THAT CASE, THE ADMINISTRATION WAS FULLY INVOLVED.
03:14:01PM MY FIRST QUESTION IS WHAT RESOURCE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.
03:14:10PM THE SECOND QUESTION IS, YOU ALL CAN GOOGLE TAMPA ECONOMIC
03:14:17PM COMMITTEE AND YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS ON THE WEB SITE AND
03:14:20PM YOU CAN SEE THAT ALMOST NOTHING WAS DONE FROM IT.
03:14:22PM WE NEED TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY.
03:14:23PM WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS THAT THE COMMITTEE
03:14:28PM RECOMMENDS, AND ALSO UNDERSTAND ALONG THE WAY WHETHER WE
03:14:31PM HAVE THE TOOLS QUESTION AS A CITY AND WE AS CITY COUNCIL
03:14:38PM HAVE A WAY TO IMPLEMENT IT.
03:14:40PM IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT THE CITY WANTS AND THE
03:14:43PM ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T WANT TO PUT IN RESOURCES FOR IT, WE
03:14:46PM CAN'T IMPLEMENT IF BECAUSE CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T HAVE POWER
03:14:51PM OVER THE ADMINISTRATION.
03:14:53PM WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY AND WE NEED TO RESOLVE
03:14:57PM SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN EXACERBATED REALLY.
03:15:01PM WE THINK OF THESE ISSUES BEING OLD BUT THEY ARE NOT.
03:15:04PM THE ISSUES WERE EXACERBATED IN THE LAST TEN OR 12 YEARS.
03:15:10PM AND WE NEED TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AND BRING
03:15:13PM COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS TO GROW OUR COMMUNITY IN THE RIGHT WAY.
03:15:16PM THANK YOU.
03:15:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
03:15:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ONE OF THE RESOURCES I SAW IN COUNCILMAN
03:15:24PM VIERA'S IS FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY TO BE --
03:15:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT IS MR. SHELBY.
03:15:31PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CLENDENIN, CAN I ADDRESS THAT.
03:15:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SAYS FROM LUIS VIERA.
03:15:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IT SAYS I SUGGEST THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL
03:15:42PM ATTORNEY BE PRESENT.
03:15:43PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND I AM HAPPY TO DO THAT, BUT AS -- TO
03:15:48PM ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE SUNSHINE LAW TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE
03:15:52PM WITH THE PUBLIC RECORDS LAW, THE ETHICS CODE AND THE LIKE TO
03:15:56PM ENSURE THAT, BUT I HAVE TO -- I HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU I AM
03:16:01PM NOT A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT.
03:16:03PM I AM NOT COMPETENT TO ACT AS LEGAL VISOR FOR THE THINGS THAT
03:16:07PM MAY COME UP IN THE COMMITTEE.
03:16:09PM I APPRECIATE COUNCILMAN VIERA'S MEMO.
03:16:11PM I THINK IT IS EXCELLENT THE WAY IT IS LAID OUT AND HIS
03:16:15PM SUGGESTION TO GET A FACILITATOR FROM THE GEORGE EDGECOMB BAR
03:16:19PM ASSOCIATION WILL BE A WONDERFUL THING WHO MAY BE ABLE TO
03:16:21PM ADDRESS OR AT LEAST GUIDE IN THOSE SORTS OF WAYS.
03:16:27PM I AM HAPPY TO BE THERE TO ASSIST IN THIS PROCESS.
03:16:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SEE, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY
03:16:34PM BECAUSE OF ALL THE OTHER LEGAL ISSUES THAT WOULD COME UP
03:16:37PM WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS COMMITTEE AS WELL.
03:16:38PM SEEMS TO ME.
03:16:40PM ALSO TAKING PLACE AT THE CITY CENTER AT HANNA.
03:16:44PM CITY RESOURCES.
03:16:46PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MAY I SAY ONE MORE THING BECAUSE YOU ARE
03:16:48PM TALKING ABOUT RESOURCES.
03:16:50PM THIS IS A SUNSHINE BOARD.
03:16:51PM OBVIOUSLY AN AGENDA HAS TO BE PREPARED BY SOMEBODY.
03:16:54PM A NOTICE HAS TO BE PREPARED BY SOMEBODY.
03:16:55PM AND THEN THE CASE OF THE BUDGET OFFICE, I DO THAT.
03:16:58PM THE BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
03:17:00PM BUT ALSO MINUTES NEED TO BE TAKEN AND THAT IS PRESENTLY
03:17:04PM HANDLED FOR THEM FOR THE BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE BY THE
03:17:09PM CLERK.
03:17:09PM AGAIN THIS IS AT HANNA STREET.
03:17:11PM THE CLERK IS NOT NECESSARILY BASED THERE.
03:17:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A LOT OF RESOURCES.
03:17:15PM YEAH, I ALSO -- ASSUMING NOW THIS PROPOSAL THAT COUNCILMAN
03:17:21PM VIERA HAS PRESENTED SUGGESTS THAT THE MAYOR WILL APPOINT SIX
03:17:24PM MEMBERS.
03:17:24PM HOPEFULLY THEY WILL DO THE DUE DILIGENCE AND PUT SIX SUBJECT
03:17:29PM MATTER EXPERTS BECAUSE THERE WILL BE BUDGETARY CONCERNS.
03:17:32PM THERE WILL BE LEGAL CONCERNS.
03:17:33PM A LOT OF THINGS.
03:17:34PM WHEN THEY LOOK AT THEIR APPOINTMENTS THEY WILL TAKE THOSE
03:17:37PM SERIOUSLY AND PUT THOSE TYPES OF FOLKS ON THERE TO BRING
03:17:41PM THAT TO THE TABLE.
03:17:41PM SAME THING FOR OUR APPOINTMENT MAKING SURE WE PUT PEOPLE WHO
03:17:46PM WILL SPEAK TO THE ISSUES BECAUSE I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN
03:17:49PM CARLSON'S FRUSTRATION WITH A LOT OF THESE THINGS.
03:17:51PM IN GOVERNMENT, WE CREATE A LOT OF COMMITTEES AND WE DON'T
03:17:56PM CREATE ANYTHING.
03:17:57PM WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL IF WE CREATE SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY
03:18:00PM CAN PRODUCE A PRODUCT AT THE END.
03:18:06PM PEOPLE LOOK AND SAY THEY HAVE PRODUCED SOMETHING.
03:18:08PM CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AS WE STRUCTURE THIS.
03:18:18PM THAT IS WHAT I WILL BE LOOKING FOR.
03:18:21PM VOLUNTARY BAR ASSOCIATION.
03:18:33PM AN INDEPENDENT LEGAL VOICE NOT COMING FROM THE CITY, BUT
03:18:36PM THERE IS.
03:18:45PM >> VERY BRIEFLY ON THAT NARROWLY TARGETED POINT.
03:18:49PM AS A FACILITATOR.
03:18:50PM I THINK AN ATTORNEY.
03:18:52PM I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT JUST ON THAT.
03:18:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU COUNCILMAN VIERA FOR PUTTING THIS
03:19:05PM TOGETHER AND THE PUBLIC TO CAME WEEK AFTER WEEK TO MAKE IT
03:19:08PM HAPPEN.
03:19:08PM YOU MADE IT HAPPEN I AM CONCERNED OF RESOURCES BECAUSE THEY
03:19:21PM DEFINITELY USE A CLERK FOR ALL THE MINUTES AND MAKING THE
03:19:24PM AGENDAS AND THEN THERE IS NOTHING IN HERE ABOUT MONEY
03:19:31PM BASICALLY AND WHAT IT WILL COST.
03:19:33PM I AM WITH OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS TO SUGGEST THAT IF THAT
03:19:36PM LAWYER IS ONLY GOING TO WORK AS A FACILITATOR, WE ALSO
03:19:40PM INCLUDE SOMEONE FROM THIS CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE THAT
03:19:50PM UNDERSTANDS THESE ISSUES FROM A LEGAL BASIS.
03:19:52PM I BELIEVE THAT MR. SHELBY WILL BE GREAT FOR ETHICS.
03:19:56PM BUT AS HE SAID HE IS NOT A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT.
03:19:59PM IF SOMEONE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE COULD PARTICIPATE
03:20:02PM AS WELL AS THAT -- NOT NECESSARILY KNOW EVERYTHING, BUT A
03:20:05PM BASIC SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT THAT THEN WE CAN CALL IN OTHERS
03:20:10PM AND THAT THEY CAN TO MORE RESEARCH.
03:20:11PM SO I THINK THAT SOMEONE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WILL
03:20:15PM BE GREAT.
03:20:15PM AND THEN, AGAIN, THE -- THE OTHER ISSUE I THINK THAT HANNA
03:20:26PM CITY CENTER IS FINE.
03:20:28PM AND ADD TO THE FACT THAT IT NEEDS TO BE NOTICED IN THE WAY
03:20:33PM THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ARE NOTICED.
03:20:35PM NOT OTHER MEETINGS AREN'T NECESSARILY NOTICED THAT WAY, BUT
03:20:39PM TO DEFINITELY NOTICE STRONGLY AND TO MAKE SURE THESE
03:20:44PM MEETINGS HAPPEN IN THE EVENING.
03:20:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I AGREE.
03:20:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON
03:20:53PM THIS.
03:20:54PM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON, YES, MA'AM.
03:20:57PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU, CHAIR, SO MUCH.
03:20:59PM COUNCILMAN VIERA, I APPRECIATE YOUR RACIAL RECONCILIATION
03:21:04PM COMMITTEE NOTES THAT YOU SHARED.
03:21:06PM RECOMMENDATIONS.
03:21:06PM I THINK BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT DOCUMENT,
03:21:10PM YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE ACTUAL RESOLUTION 568.
03:21:12PM AND 43 MONTHS AGO, IT WAS PRESENTED AND APPROVED BY THIS
03:21:21PM BODY SEPTEMBER 3, 2020.
03:21:24PM ABOUT SIX, EIGHT WEEKS AGO BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY WAS COMING
03:21:27PM FORWARD CONSTANTLY TALKING OF RESOLUTION 569.
03:21:33PM I HAD THE ATTORNEY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY PULL THE
03:21:36PM RESOLUTION FOR ME SO I COULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
03:21:38PM AND IT DOES DECLARE THAT THIS BODY HERE WHO ACTUALLY CREATED
03:21:44PM RESOLUTION 568 MONTHS AGO, IT DOES SAY THAT IT DECLARES
03:21:50PM ITS SUPPORT FOR CREATING A RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE.
03:21:53PM TODAY NOW YOU ARE ASKING THE MAYOR TO ADD SIX PEOPLE TO A
03:21:56PM COMMITTEE THAT YOU JUST ACTUALLY ARE TRYING TO CREATE FOR
03:21:59PM THE VERY FIRST TIME IN TALKING ABOUT IT ONLY IN RECENT WEEKS
03:22:03PM BECAUSE IT WAS PRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC.
03:22:06PM WITHIN THIS RESOLUTION, THERE WAS SOME THINGS SUCH AS A
03:22:14PM COMMISSION MAY ADDRESS AND THERE IS SOME ITEMS LISTED BY
03:22:17PM ALPHABET.
03:22:18PM APPROXIMATELY A, B, C, D, AND F AND COUNCILMAN MIRANDA -- I MEAN
03:22:28PM VIERA'S RECOMMENDATIONS.
03:22:29PM THEY ALIGN SOMEWHAT BUT NOT NECESSARILY SO.
03:22:32PM BASED ON THE RESOLUTION THAT IS WHAT IS BINDING.
03:22:36PM THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION, THERE IS BIND WHAT WE MAY ADDRESS.
03:22:45PM SO FROM THAT STANDPOINT, I JUST BELIEVE THAT THE WHEELHOUSE
03:22:52PM OF AREA OF EXPERTISE OF APPOINTING SOMEONE MAKES ME VERY
03:22:57PM UNCOMFORTABLE UNLESS THIS WILL PARTICULAR PERSON HAS A LEVEL
03:23:00PM OF EXPERTISE THAT DEALS WITH RECONCILIATION.
03:23:03PM THE VOLUNTEERS SHOULD BE EXPERIENCED IN THIS PARTICULAR
03:23:06PM FIELD AND WANT TO SERVE IN THAT CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK
03:23:13PM TO SOME OF THESE ISSUES.
03:23:14PM ONE OF THEM, C, ADDRESSES MASS INCARCERATION.
03:23:18PM DOES THE CITY OF TAMPA HAVE CONTROL OVER MASS INCARCERATION?
03:23:22PM NO, WE ACTUALLY DO NOT.
03:23:23PM SO THAT IN AND OF ITSELF IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH
03:23:28PM WHEN IT COMES TO THE REST LOUIS BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN IN
03:23:30PM RESOLUTION 568 BUT WE, OURSELVES, WITH NOT DEAL WITH MASS
03:23:34PM INCARCERATION.
03:23:34PM CAN WE DEAL WITH POLICIES WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA INVOLVING
03:23:39PM EMPLOYMENT AND WHAT SOME OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS SPOKE
03:23:41PM ABOUT TODAY?
03:23:42PM YES, THAT CAN BE A PART OF IT BUT MASS INCARCERATION IS
03:23:46PM SOMETHING -- DID THAT TIMER START FOR KNEE AT THE BEGINNING?
03:23:50PM OKAY, SO I NEED JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
03:23:52PM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
03:23:53PM SO -- SO, FOR ME, WHILE THIS BODY VOTED TO SUPPORT THE
03:24:01PM CREATION OF A COMMITTEE, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD TAKE A
03:24:04PM LITTLE BIT MORE TIME IN LOOKING AT EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS
03:24:12PM WHERE YOU WENT BACK 4 MONTHS AGO AND LOOKING AT WHAT
03:24:16PM COUNCILMAN VIERA IS PROPOSING IN TERMS OF WHAT HE IS
03:24:21PM RECOMMENDING.
03:24:21PM THE OTHER ASPECT OF THIS IS THAT WE ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT ALL
03:24:26PM OF THE CITY'S POLICIES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST.
03:24:31PM MANY THINGS THAT WE ACTUALLY DO THAT CENTER AROUND
03:24:35PM RESOLUTION 568.
03:24:38PM NEED TO IDENTIFY STAFF LIKE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
03:24:42PM EMPLOYMENT AND THINGS THAT BE ALREADY DO THAT COULD BE A
03:24:44PM PART OF RESOLUTION 568.
03:24:46PM TO IDENTIFY STAFF POLICIES AND OUR -- OUR MISSION AND GO
03:24:51PM BACK AND LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.
03:24:53PM OUR TRANSFORMATION POLICIES.
03:24:55PM EVERYTHING.
03:24:56PM TO SAY THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE ARE ALREADY ADDRESSING.
03:24:58PM WE HAVE TO PUT THAT INTO THIS MIX.
03:25:00PM WE DON'T HAVE TO RE-CREATE SOMETHING THAT ALREADY EXISTS.
03:25:03PM I APPRECIATE THE COMMUNITY COMING FORWARD, BUT ALSO -- I
03:25:08PM DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED WHEN I AM TALKING, CHAIR.
03:25:12PM CAN YOU MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR MANTLE IF NECESSARY, I
03:25:15PM APPRECIATE IT.
03:25:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OH, MY GOD --
03:25:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF WE CAN PLEASE.
03:25:20PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: IT BREAKS MINE -- I HAVE A COUPLE OF --
03:25:24PM IT IS ABOUT RESPECT AND ME NOT BREAKING MY CONCENTRATION, SO
03:25:27PM I THANK YOU FOR THAT.
03:25:28PM THE OTHER ASPECT OF RESOLUTION 568 COMING FORWARD TO THIS
03:25:33PM BODY IS THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE TO TAKE INTO
03:25:36PM CONSIDERATION.
03:25:36PM THE COUNTY COMMISSION.
03:25:37PM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
03:25:38PM THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
03:25:40PM THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
03:25:41PM THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.
03:25:43PM THIS BARRIER IS BIGGER THAN JUST THE CITY OF TAMPA.
03:25:46PM WE CAN NOT SOLVE EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM.
03:25:49PM WE CAN --
03:25:51PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: EXCUSE ME.
03:25:52PM SHE IS SPEAKING.
03:25:53PM THANK YOU.
03:25:53PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: WE CAN'T SOLVE EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM, BUT
03:26:00PM WE CAN BEGIN TO ADDRESS THE BARRIERS THAT EXIST IN OUR OWN
03:26:04PM CITY BY FIRST LOOKING AT OUR CURRENT POLICIES AND SAY, HEY,
03:26:09PM THERE IS WHAT WE ALREADY DO.
03:26:09PM DO WE DO IT WELL ENOUGH.
03:26:11PM CAN WE IMPROVE UPON IT?
03:26:13PM YES, MA'AM.
03:26:13PM THAT IS WHERE WE START.
03:26:15PM FROM THE VERY FOUNDATION OF NOT MR. VIERA'S RECOMMENDATIONS
03:26:18PM PER SE, BUT AT THE RESOLUTION THAT WAS WRITTEN 43 MONTHS AGO
03:26:22PM AND THE SIX RECOMMENDATIONS THERE.
03:26:25PM THEY START FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
03:26:27PM NOT ADDING AND SAYING, WELL, THE MAYOR SHOULD APPOINT SIX
03:26:30PM PEOPLE AND WE SHOULD APPOINT SIX PEOPLE.
03:26:32PM LET'S LOOK AT THE RESOLUTION FIRST AND SAY WHAT IS REALISTIC
03:26:36PM IN TERMS OF WHAT WE MAY CONSIDER AND GO FROM THERE.
03:26:38PM I AM NOT SAYING THAT THIS COMMITTEE SHOULD NOT EXIST, BUT IT
03:26:42PM SHOULD BE COMPRISED OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE AREAS OF
03:26:45PM EXPERTISE, AS WELL AS THE PASSION TO MOVE THE CITY FORWARD.
03:26:50PM TO MAKE AMENDS TO THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY AND THE
03:26:53PM HORRIBLE POLICIES THAT DID EXIST THAT KEPT OUR FAMILIES FROM
03:26:57PM GROWING AND EXPANDING AND BUILDING WEALTH.
03:27:00PM THERE ARE THINGS THAT DID TAKE PLACE.
03:27:01PM IT STARTED WITH THE APOLOGY, AND LET'S JUST DO THE WORK.
03:27:05PM YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ANGRY.
03:27:07PM WHAT YOU CAN DO IS BRING YOUR PASSION AND LET'S GET TO SOME
03:27:11PM RESOLUTIONS THAT WE ACTUALLY CAN WORK TOWARD IMPROVING BASED
03:27:19PM ON WHAT ALREADY EXISTS.
03:27:21PM IT IS FAIR TO SAY WE ARE NOT A HORRIBLE CITY.
03:27:26PM TO WE HAVE WORK TO DO, ABSOLUTELY.
03:27:27PM DOES OUR STAFF AND THE MAYOR AS WELL AS US WORK TO IMPROVE
03:27:32PM THE CITY ON A DAILY BASIS.
03:27:34PM WE DO THAT.
03:27:35PM I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, CHAIR.
03:27:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
03:27:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ON THE BEGINNING YOU TALK OF THE CREATION
03:27:47PM OF THE COMMITTEE.
03:27:47PM RESOLUTION 568 WAS ONLY RESTRICTED TO RECOMMENDING AND IT
03:27:52PM WAS UP TO THE MAYOR TO CREATE THE COMMITTEE.
03:27:53PM NOW THE MAYOR HAS COME FORWARD WITH OCEA WYNN JUST NOTIFIED
03:27:57PM US THAT THE MAYOR IS SUPPORTING DOING THAT.
03:27:59PM WE DID NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION UNTIL TODAY AND THAT'S WHY
03:28:04PM WE MOVED FORWARD.
03:28:05PM A LOT OF THIS STUFF IS JUST DISTRACTIONS.
03:28:08PM LET'S MOVE FORWARD.
03:28:09PM CREATE THE DANG COMMITTEE AND GET IT DONE.
03:28:12PM IT IS TIME TO DO IT.
03:28:13PM WE -- I MEAN, CLEARLY, THERE IS PAIN.
03:28:18PM CLEARLY THERE IS -- THERE IS ISSUES ACROSS OUR SOCIETY AND
03:28:28PM WE TALK OF NO BRAINER.
03:28:30PM THIS IS A NO BRAINER.
03:28:34PM PUT SUGGEST MATTER EXPERTS ON HERE.
03:28:37PM MOVE THIS THING FORWARD AND MAKE SURE IT HAS THE SUPPORT AND
03:28:40PM THE LEGAL ADVICE AND MAKE SURE IT HAS THE RIGHT TYPE OF
03:28:43PM PEOPLE ON HERE TO PRODUCE A PRODUCT.
03:28:45PM SOMETHING THAT IS RECEIVER AND SOMEBODY THAT CAN REDUCE A
03:28:48PM PRODUCT AT THE END.
03:28:50PM I SAY STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND LET'S DO IT.
03:28:55PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE, CHAIR,
03:28:58PM BECAUSE --
03:28:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
03:28:59PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: IF IT WAS A NO BRAINER A COMMITTEE WOULD
03:29:02PM HAVE BEEN COMMITTED 43 MONTHS AGO.
03:29:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL DIDN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO
03:29:06PM THAT.
03:29:07PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THE RESOLUTION --
03:29:09PM >> OH, MY GOD --
03:29:12PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THE SECTION 3, CITY OF TAMPA HEARBY
03:29:18PM SUPPORT CREATION OF A RECONCILIATION COMMISSION WITH THE
03:29:22PM MISSION OF STUDYING AND DEVELOPING PROPOSALS OF PRESIDENT
03:29:27PM EFFECTS OF INSTITUTIONS OF SLAVERY AND THE SUBSEQUENT
03:29:32PM SYSTEMIC DISCRIMINATION OF TAMPA'S AFRICAN-AMERICAN
03:29:36PM RESIDENTS BY PROMOTING SOCIAL AND RACIAL EQUITY.
03:29:39PM THE ACTUAL -- IT DID NOT SAY -- SO THE MAYOR TODAY IN --
03:29:44PM MISS WYNN'S REPORT, SHE SAID THE MAYOR WILL SUPPORT US
03:29:50PM CREATING IT.
03:29:51PM WHAT WAS PRESENTED TODAY WAS, WELL, THE MAYOR SHOULD ADD SIX
03:29:56PM PEOPLE TO THE COMMITTEE.
03:29:56PM I AM JUST TRYING TO GET TO THE ROOT OF -- WHAT WE SHOULD DO
03:30:00PM AND HOW WE SHOULD START.
03:30:02PM HOW WE SHOULD START IS -- BASED ON WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE
03:30:05PM RESOLUTION AND WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE RECOMMENDATION
03:30:08PM PROVIDED BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
03:30:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN I ASK THE ATTORNEY A QUESTION.
03:30:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
03:30:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. SHELBY, DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE THE
03:30:18PM ABILITY TO CREATE THIS ON ITS OWN?
03:30:21PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT DOES.
03:30:22PM PURSUANT TO THE CHARTER AS MISS WYNN.
03:30:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: 89.01.
03:30:29PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: AS LONG THE MAYOR SIGNS OFF ON THAT, YOU
03:30:32PM CAN.
03:30:32PM THAT WASN'T ALWAYS THE CASE.
03:30:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE MAYOR HAS TO SIGN OFF ON IT.
03:30:36PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: EVER SINCE THE VOTERS ADOPTED THAT CHANGE
03:30:38PM IN 2019.
03:30:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY, THANK YOU.
03:30:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WAS FIRST HERE IN 2015 AND WE DID THE
03:30:44PM CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD FOR THE POLICE.
03:30:45PM A BACK-AND-FORTH BATTLE OF WHO CAN CREATE AND THIS AND THAT.
03:30:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE MAYOR HAS TO SIGN OFF.
03:30:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THE CHARTER --
03:30:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OCEA WYNN NOTIFIED US THAT THE MAYOR WILL
03:30:59PM SIGN OFF ON IT.
03:31:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, CARLSON AND THEN
03:31:04PM VIERA.
03:31:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
03:31:05PM I AGREE THAT THE CITY HAS DONE WORK IN DIFFERENT AREAS, AND
03:31:10PM WE DO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE.
03:31:13PM THAT IS TRUE.
03:31:14PM WE JUST HAD A DEBATE OF IN LAST WEEK WITH THE EAST TAMPA
03:31:17PM PARK THAT IS COMING FORWARD -- WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE BUT
03:31:22PM THE ISSUE IS WE ARE NOT PUTTING ALL OF THOSE KIND OF IN YOUR
03:31:26PM PLACE TO LOOK AT THEM.
03:31:27PM SEE HOW THEY WILL IMPROVE AND HOW TO MAKE THEM BETTER.
03:31:31PM I THINK THAT IS WHAT THIS COMMITTEE WILL DO.
03:31:33PM THESE ARE THE TYPES OF ISSUES THAT WE KEEP HEARING ABOUT
03:31:36PM OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
03:31:37PM THE ONLY ONE THAT WE MAY NOT HAVE MUCH POWER OVER IS
03:31:43PM RESTORATION OF RIGHTS SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS A TOPIC --
03:31:50PM THAT MIGHT BE A TOPIC THAT WE WANT TO TAKE OUT AND REPLACE
03:31:53PM WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
03:31:54PM MAYBE THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IS A
03:31:59PM VERY BIG ONE, AND MAYBE WE CAN HAVE THAT FOR TWO DAYS, TWO
03:32:02PM SESSIONS, JUST.
03:32:06PM BECAUSE, YES, A LOT OF THINGS IN THIS THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL.
03:32:09PM BUT THE THINGS WE CAN CONTROL, WE CAN ABSOLUTELY DO.
03:32:12PM BECAUSE WE -- IT'S RIGHT THING TO DO.
03:32:15PM AND WE HAVE BEEN DOING SOME THINGS.
03:32:17PM AND I THINK HIGHLIGHTING WHAT WE ALREADY ARE DOING AND BEING
03:32:20PM ABLE TO ADD TO IT WHEN WE CAN SEE IT ALL IN ONE PLACE IS A
03:32:24PM REAL POSITIVE.
03:32:24PM SO I -- I AM -- I AM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THAT THIS IS GOING
03:32:29PM -- I AM HOPING THIS GOES FORWARD.
03:32:31PM I THINK THIS COMMITTEE IS EXACTLY WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS
03:32:34PM BEEN ASKING FOR AND BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING KIND OF
03:32:37PM IN ONE SPACE THROUGH ONE LENS TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT WE CAN
03:32:41PM DO NEXT AND HOW WE CAN MOVE THIS COMMUNITY FORWARD.
03:32:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
03:32:47PM >>BILL CARLSON: MISS WYNN, THERE WAS A -- THERE HAS BEEN
03:32:55PM SOME -- THERE HAS BEEN SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER IT --
03:32:59PM WHETHER PROPOSING THAT THE MAYOR WILL HAVE SIX BOARD
03:33:02PM MEMBERS, I THINK -- THE QUESTION IS THAT -- ARE WE -- ARE WE
03:33:06PM ENTANGLING THE MAYOR OR OBLIGATING HER.
03:33:10PM DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA.
03:33:11PM IF THE MAYOR DOESN'T WANT TO APPOINT BOARD MEMBERS, I THINK
03:33:16PM WE CAN -- WE COULD APPOINT TWO EACH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
03:33:19PM I ASSUME MY COLLEAGUE WAS TRYING TO BE COLLABORATIVE IN
03:33:24PM OFFERING THOSE POSITIONS.
03:33:25PM DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA IF THE MAYOR APPOINT FOLKS.
03:33:31PM SHE IMPLIED SHE DIDN'T WANT TO RUN IT.
03:33:34PM BUT WOULD SHE LIKE TO APPOINT FOLKS OR WOULD SHE LIKE FOR US
03:33:38PM TO APPOINT ALL OF THEM.
03:33:39PM >>OCEA WYNN: OCEA WYNN, ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS.
03:33:44PM I THINK THE FAIREST THING IS THAT WE ARE WANTING TO BE
03:33:47PM COLLABORATIVE.
03:33:48PM WE PROVIDED THROUGH THE COUNCIL LEVEL OF EXPERTISE AND MUCH
03:33:52PM OF THE SAME TO SUPPORT WHAT YOU HAVE MENTIONED COUNCILWOMAN
03:33:59PM HURTAK IN TERMS OF WE HAVE DONE SOME THINGS.
03:34:01PM WE ARE PRESENTING THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY DONE SO I
03:34:06PM THINK IN TERMS OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
03:34:09PM WE CONTINUE TO BE COLLABORATIVE.
03:34:11PM I CAN'T THINK TO THE MAYOR AND THE ADMINISTRATION WHETHER OR
03:34:15PM NOT THE MAYOR WANTS -- IT IS ABOUT APPOINTING MEMBERS OR
03:34:19PM NOT.
03:34:19PM IT IS ABOUT DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE COMMUNITY AND
03:34:21PM HELPING US MOVE FORWARD, MOVE AHEAD IN THE MOST SEAMLESS
03:34:24PM MANNER.
03:34:25PM >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU.
03:34:26PM I WOULD JUST PROPOSE, MR. VIERA, WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR MOTION,
03:34:31PM MAYBE -- MAYBE PUT TWO OPTIONS IN THERE THAT WE COULD VOTE
03:34:34PM ON.
03:34:35PM AND I WOULD PROPOSE THAT CITY COUNCIL WILL EACH APPOINT TWO.
03:34:38PM AND MAYBE YOU AS CHAIR, CREATOR CAN APPOINT THREE OR
03:34:42PM SOMETHING LIKE THAT IF YOU NEED A TIE BREAKER.
03:34:44PM AND THE OTHER THING, MR. SHELBY, USUALLY IN BOARDS LIKE
03:34:52PM THE CACS, WE ARE ENCOURAGED NO TO THE GO BECAUSE IT MIGHT
03:34:55PM CREATE SUNSHINE ISSUES.
03:34:57PM SHOULD I ASSUME THAT EVEN THOSE THESE MEETINGS WILL BE
03:35:04PM NOTICED AND MINUTES WILL BE TAKEN, SHOULD I BE ASSUMED THAT
03:35:09PM IT IS DISCOURAGED THAT MORE THAN ONE SHOW UP AT ONE MEETING.
03:35:16PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WOULDN'T DISCOURAGE YOU.
03:35:17PM IT IS A PUBLIC MEETING AND NOTICED AND MINUTES WILL BE
03:35:20PM TAKEN.
03:35:20PM WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU NOT DISCUSS AMONG YOURSELVES
03:35:25PM THOSE ITEMS BUT YOU ARE CERTAINLY ABLE TO BE PRESENT.
03:35:27PM IT IS CERTAINLY OVER AT HANNA STREET.
03:35:29PM I DON'T ENVISION THIS BEING TELEVISED.
03:35:32PM NO DISCUSSION OF THAT.
03:35:33PM I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE THE CAPABILITIES OF THAT OVER
03:35:35PM THERE YET OR IF YOU WOULD HAVE THAT DONE.
03:35:37PM BUT, NO, I WOULDN'T DISCOURAGE YOU.
03:35:39PM AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS AN INTERESTED MEMBER OF PUBLIC
03:35:43PM OBVIOUSLY, AS A DECISION MAKER, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO
03:35:46PM GO, IF YOU WANT.
03:35:48PM >>BILL CARLSON: JUST WANTED TO ASK BECAUSE I HEARD
03:35:53PM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON SAID THEY COULD BROADCAST IF IT IS
03:35:56PM EASY IF IT IS A ROOM THEY CAN TURN ON A CAMERA, I WOULD
03:36:00PM SUGGEST IT BE PUT ON YOUTUBE BECAUSE HELPFUL FOR THE
03:36:03PM COMMUNITY TO HEAR AND FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE
03:36:06PM ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK AND IF WE CAN'T ATTEND IN PERSON, WE CAN
03:36:10PM WATCH THE VIDEOS THANK YOU.
03:36:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
03:36:14PM I WANT TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS AND THEN VIERA.
03:36:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MAYBE I AM BEING OPTIMISTIC AND LOOK AT
03:36:21PM COUNCILMAN VIERA'S PROPOSAL AND THE COMPOSITION OF THIS
03:36:24PM COMMITTEE, I FOUND IT INTERESTING -- AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO
03:36:27PM CREATE A COMMITTEE THAT CREATES A DOCUMENT THAT SITS IN A
03:36:29PM DRAWER AND NOTHING EVER COMES OF IT.
03:36:31PM SO I LIKE -- I WAS INTRIGUED WITH THE COLLABORATIVE ASPECT
03:36:35PM OF IT WHERE THE MAYOR COULD APPOINT FOLKS BECAUSE THEY ARE
03:36:38PM SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND WE KNOW ONCE THINGS ARE OUT OF
03:36:42PM OUR HANDS IT IS UP TO THE ADMINISTRATION TO FACILITATE AND
03:36:45PM GET THINGS DONE.
03:36:46PM WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD.
03:36:48PM THAT THEIR COLLABORATION AND STAFF THAT ARE STAFFING IT,
03:36:54PM THEY WILL HAVE A VOICE IN THE FINAL PRODUCT.
03:36:55PM THAT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A PRODUCT THAT -- A
03:36:59PM PROPOSAL THAT PRODUCE AS PRODUCT.
03:37:01PM EVERYBODY HAS GOT TO BE ON BOARD, SO WHEN THE THING IS DONE,
03:37:05PM YOU PUT IT ON THE TRACKS AND YOU LET -- YOU GET IT GOING.
03:37:08PM SO I REALLY WOULD ENCOURAGE -- AND I BELIEVE -- I AM SENSING
03:37:13PM FROM OCEA AND I HAVEN'T SPOKEN WITH THE MAY I DON'T
03:37:16PM REMEMBER, THAT PERHAPS THE MAYOR IS INVESTED IN THIS AND IS
03:37:19PM WILLING TO -- TO GET THOSE FOLKS APPOINTED SO WE HAVE A
03:37:23PM COLLABORATIVE EFFORT.
03:37:24PM AND THAT WE CAN CREATE SOME TYPE OF MEANINGFUL PROGRAM.
03:37:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I AM READY TO SUPPORT THE CREATION OF
03:37:33PM THIS COMMITTEE 100%.
03:37:34PM AGAIN I APPRECIATE YOUR MEMO AND SUGGESTION, SIR.
03:37:38PM GO AHEAD.
03:37:39PM >>LUIS VIERA: SIR, I WANT TO CLARIFY BECAUSE THIS WILL HAVE
03:37:41PM RELEVANCY TO THE MOTION TO BE MADE.
03:37:44PM SO FOR THE ADMINISTRATION, BECAUSE I PUT FORTH AS COUNCILMAN
03:37:49PM CARLSON, CLENDENIN SAID, A PROPOSAL.
03:37:51PM IS THE MAYOR NOT INCLINED TO DO APPOINTMENTS?
03:37:55PM BECAUSE THAT HAS A LOT OF BEARING ON WHAT I AM GOING TO DO.
03:37:58PM I THINK THE REASONS THAT COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN SAID, I THINK
03:38:01PM THAT WOULD BE WISE, BUT, AGAIN, UP TO YOU GUYS TO OBVIOUSLY.
03:38:05PM >>OCEA WYNN: COUNCILMAN VIERA, IN FEBRUARY, WE WERE ASKED TO
03:38:09PM COME BACK TO REPORT TO CREATE A RACIAL RECONCILIATION
03:38:13PM COMMITTEE.
03:38:14PM AS PART OF THAT PROPOSAL, WE REFERRED TO THE CHARTER WHERE
03:38:16PM THE CHARTER SAID THAT YOU CAN CREATE THE COMMITTEE AND WITH
03:38:21PM THE MAYOR'S, AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE BRINGING BACK TO
03:38:23PM YOU PACED ON WHAT WAS ASKED OF US IN FEBRUARY.
03:38:30PM >>LUIS VIERA: I TALKED TO THE ADMINISTRATION BEFORE ABOUT
03:38:32PM APPOINTMENTS AND I KNOW DISCUSSIONS HAVE BEEN HAD.
03:38:35PM IF IT IS NOT READY TO BE PRESENTED AGAIN.
03:38:37PM AND I DON'T MEAN THAT WITH YOU, BUT JUST IN GENERAL, THAT
03:38:40PM ISSUE IS NOT RIPE.
03:38:41PM I THINK -- I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
03:38:43PM I BELIEVE THAT WILL BE A REALLY MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
03:38:46PM ADMINISTRATION AND THE CITY.
03:38:47PM IF IT WASN'T DONE JOINTLY.
03:38:50PM AND WHEN I TALK ABOUT -- AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, SO THE
03:38:53PM ADMINISTRATION THEN WILL ALSO BE PROVIDING STAFF, NOT JUST
03:38:56PM THE HANNA CENTER BUT POTENTIALLY STAFF IN TERMS OF.
03:38:59PM LIKE I SAID IN MY MEMO.
03:39:01PM I THINK I SAID THIS IN HERE.
03:39:03PM TALKING OF YOUTH.
03:39:04PM MAYBE FROM PARKS AND REC.
03:39:06PM IS THAT CORRECT IN.
03:39:08PM >>OCEA WYNN: YES, SIR.
03:39:09PM THAT IS WHAT I MEAN OF COLLABORATION.
03:39:11PM WE HAVE DONE WORK IN THE OVER I CAN'T.
03:39:12PM DOES NOT MAKE SENSE FOR -- FOR THE COMMITTEE TO START FROM
03:39:16PM SCRATCH IF WE HAVE ALREADY DONE WORK IN THIS AREA.
03:39:18PM WE WILL PROVIDE THOSE -- THOSE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS,
03:39:24PM PROVIDE THEIR EXPERTISE ON THE TOPIC BEING DISCUSSED
03:39:30PM OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE RE-CREATING THE WHEEL AND WE ALREADY
03:39:33PM LEFT THE BARN.
03:39:34PM >>LUIS VIERA: HOW ABOUT THIS.
03:39:37PM AND ALSO I WANTED TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS QUICKLY, IF I
03:39:40PM MAY.
03:39:40PM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORDS AND I
03:39:45PM VALUE YOUR INPUT ON THIS.
03:39:47PM WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS -- NOT ON CITY ISSUES BUT JUST
03:39:50PM ON RELATED ISSUES, ON UNITED STATES HISTORY, ETC.
03:39:53PM AND I -- I JUST VALUE YOUR WORDS 110%.
03:39:57PM WITH REGARDS TO THE FACILITATOR, I WANT IT SPECIFIED THAT
03:40:02PM WILL NOT BE A LEGAL COUNSEL.
03:40:05PM THAT WILL BE SOMEBODY TO HELP RUN A MEETING.
03:40:07PM I THINK AN ATTORNEY IS VERY WELL-POSITIONED.
03:40:09PM I DID THIS MOTION BECAUSE I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO
03:40:12PM LISTEN ON THIS ISSUE.
03:40:13PM AND THAT IS WHERE THIS BEGINS, TO GET A COMMITTEE THAT IS
03:40:17PM REPRESENTED OF THE COMMUNITY ON THIS ISSUE TO LISTEN AND DO
03:40:20PM BETTER.
03:40:21PM AND THAT'S IT.
03:40:22PM A LOT OF THESE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE -- WORKING TOGETHER.
03:40:24PM MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
03:40:25PM GREAT THINGS ON.
03:40:27PM THINGS THAT WE CAN DO BETTER.
03:40:29PM I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT.
03:40:30PM SO LET ME GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION.
03:40:33PM I WILL HAVE THIS RETURNED TO US IT.
03:40:34PM MAKE A MOTION, NUMBER ONE, TO FORMALLY CREATE A COMMITTEE.
03:40:39PM NUMBER ONE, TO REPORT THE CITY OF TAMPA RACIAL
03:40:42PM RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE PURSUANT TO THE SIX PILLARS THAT
03:40:46PM ARE MENTIONED AND I WILL TAKE COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK'S
03:40:50PM SUGGESTION, MAKE IT FIVE AND RESTORATION OF RIGHTS WITH
03:40:53PM RETURNING CITIZENS AND THAT IS KIND OF UNDER THE SAME
03:40:55PM SUBJECT.
03:40:56PM AND TO HAVE THAT AND HAVE THIS COME BACK WITH APPOINTMENTS
03:41:01PM TO US AND LET'S SAY THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY.
03:41:06PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: APPOINTMENTS BY WHOM?
03:41:09PM >>LUIS VIERA: THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.
03:41:10PM YES, MA'AM.
03:41:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WHY DON'T WE SAY TODAY WE ARE GOING TO CREATE
03:41:13PM THE COMMITTEE.
03:41:14PM YOU TAKE OUR SUGGESTIONS AND COME BACK WITH THE FULL --
03:41:18PM BECAUSE THE SUGGESTION OF TAKING OUT THE RESTORATION OF
03:41:21PM RIGHTS.
03:41:21PM THE SUGGESTIONS OF ADDING SOMEONE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S
03:41:25PM OFFICE AND SOMEBODY FROM THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND WHAT FUNDING
03:41:28PM WE ARE LOOKING AT AND THE FACT THAT WE WANT THE MEETINGS TO
03:41:32PM TAKE PLACE IN THE EVENING AND I HAD A SUGGESTION FOR THE
03:41:35PM PREPARING OF A REPORT TO HAVE ACTION ITEMS.
03:41:37PM NOT A REPORT BUT ACTION ITEMS THINGS THAT ARE POSSIBLE FOR
03:41:44PM USES TO DO AND HOW TO DO THEM.
03:41:45PM >>LUIS VIERA: WE WILL CREATE -- I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
03:41:48PM CREATE THIS COMMITTEE TODAY.
03:41:49PM THAT IS IMPORTANT.
03:41:50PM MR. SHELBY, BY MAKING THIS MOTION, DO WE CREATE THE
03:41:53PM COMMITTEE?
03:41:54PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: NO.
03:41:56PM >>LUIS VIERA: HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
03:41:57PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: A RESOLUTION TO FORMALIZE.
03:42:00PM >>LUIS VIERA: HOW ABOUT THIS.
03:42:01PM I ASK CITY STAFF TO COME BACK WITH A RESOLUTION.
03:42:04PM NEXT WE CAN WE HAVE CRA.
03:42:06PM THE FOLLOWING WEEK WHICH IS --
03:42:08PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: 18th.
03:42:11PM >>LUIS VIERA: APRIL 18 WITH A RESOLUTION.
03:42:12PM FOR THE PUBLIC WE CAN'T CREATE IT WITHOUT A RESOLUTION.
03:42:15PM WHAT IS COMING BACK.
03:42:16PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: LET ME SHARE WITH YOU.
03:42:22PM WHAT THE RESOLUTION SHOULD CONTAIN IS THE ELEMENTS OF THIS
03:42:24PM COMMITTEE, HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO OPERATE.
03:42:27PM HOW IT IS -- WHAT ITS PURPOSE IS AND WHAT GUIDANCE YOU GIVE
03:42:32PM TO THE -- TO THE APPOINTEES.
03:42:35PM AND WHAT KIND OF APPOINTEES AND WHO MAKES THE APPOINTMENTS.
03:42:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT COUNCILMAN
03:42:42PM VIERA WORK WITH OUR ATTORNEY MARTIN SHELBY TO DRAFT THAT
03:42:46PM RESOLUTION AND BRING IT BACK TO CITY COUNCIL ON APRIL 18.
03:42:49PM >>LUIS VIERA: THIS MOTION WILL INCLUDE THOSE SIX AREAS THAT
03:42:54PM IS IMPORTANT.
03:42:54PM IT WILL BE PUT DOWN TO FIVE, BUT SIX --
03:42:57PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: SIX MINUS ONE PLUS ONE.
03:43:00PM >>LUIS VIERA: THERE YOU GO.
03:43:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
03:43:03PM SECOND.
03:43:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SECOND.
03:43:06PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: CLERK HAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT.
03:43:08PM >>CLERK: I WANT TO NOTE THAT YOU HAVE A LENGTHY DAY ON APRIL
03:43:12PM 18.
03:43:13PM 13 SCHEDULED NOT INCLUDING ANYTHING THAT YOU INCLUDED FROM
03:43:17PM TODAY.
03:43:17PM >>LUIS VIERA: MAYBE COUNCILMEMBERS -- IF I COULD, COUNCILMAN
03:43:24PM MANISCALCO.
03:43:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I DON'T MAKE MOTIONS.
03:43:26PM IT IS NOT ME.
03:43:27PM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN WE MAKE IT EARLY IN THE DAY SINCE THESE
03:43:31PM FOLKS WAITED FOR SO LONG.
03:43:32PM ALSO ON THE -- TO HIS POINT, ON THE ISSUE OF HOW TO
03:43:36PM CONSTRUCT A BOARD.
03:43:37PM I THINK THAT MAYBE IN A SEPARATE VOTE ASK US TO APPROVE
03:43:43PM EITHER/OR.
03:43:43PM EITHER WHAT YOU PROPOSED HERE WITH THE MAYOR APPOINTING SIX
03:43:47PM AND EACH OF US APPOINTING ONE, OR IF THE MAYOR DOESN'T WANT
03:43:50PM TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PART OF IT, THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER
03:43:52PM THINGS.
03:43:53PM THEN THE ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE -- I AM JUST THROWING
03:43:57PM SOMETHING OUT.
03:43:58PM TWO FOR EACH OF US AND THREE FOR YOU.
03:44:00PM BUT IF WE COULD JUST GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THAT.
03:44:02PM I THINK THAT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO CONSTRUCT THAT AND INSTEAD OF
03:44:07PM WAITING AND YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND PROPOSE IT SINCE WE HAVE
03:44:10PM BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT.
03:44:11PM >>LUIS VIERA: I WOULD RATHER -- I KNOW, COUNCILMAN CARLSON,
03:44:15PM WE WILL DO ONE OR THOSE TWO.
03:44:17PM I WILL GIVE ADMINISTRATION TIME TO FINALIZE THEIR RESPONSE.
03:44:20PM I AM FINE WITH EITHER ONE.
03:44:21PM I DON'T WANT TO JUMP TO A CONCLUSION.
03:44:24PM WE WILL DEAL WITH THAT IN TWO WEEKS.
03:44:26PM WE WILL HAVE THOSE ISSUES HAMMERED BEFORE.
03:44:28PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: SOUNDS GOOD.
03:44:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHO MADE A SECOND.
03:44:30PM I HEARD THREE PEOPLE.
03:44:31PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: ANOTHER QUESTION IN TERMS OF PUBLIC NOTICE
03:44:34PM AND GETTING IT UP ON SIRE.
03:44:37PM THAT GIVES US LESS THAN A WEEK TO PREPARE THAT JUST BECAUSE
03:44:41PM OTHER -- OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT MAKE THE AGENDA.
03:44:44PM >>LUIS VIERA: TWO LAWYERS.
03:44:46PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
03:44:48PM YES, WE DO.
03:44:50PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: PUTTING IN UNDER CONSENT?
03:44:53PM >>CLERK: PUTTING THIS UNDER CONSENT -- OR STAFF REPORT?
03:44:56PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU WANT EARLY ON THE STAFF REPORTS?
03:45:00PM IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
03:45:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MEMO 3:00 THE DAY BEFORE AND IT WILL
03:45:03PM COME UP.
03:45:04PM WE WILL TALK OF PUTTING IT EARLY.
03:45:06PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I JUST WANT CLARIFICATION AS WELL.
03:45:09PM SO THE SIX TOPICS AS IT RELATES TO COUNCILMAN VIERA'S MEMO,
03:45:15PM WHICH ARE SUGGESTIONS VERSES THE -- THE INFORMATION PROVIDED
03:45:23PM ALREADY IN RESOLUTION 568 WHICH ALSO -- SIX ITEMS ARE LISTED
03:45:27PM THERE AS WELL.
03:45:27PM SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT BOTH DOCUMENTS.
03:45:31PM >>LUIS VIERA: YES, MA'AM.
03:45:32PM IF I MAY, MR. CHAIRMAN.
03:45:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
03:45:35PM >>LUIS VIERA: MY MOTION IS PURSUANT TO THE MEMO I DRAFTED
03:45:38PM WHICH I HAVE DONE AFTER SPEAKING TO FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY.
03:45:40PM WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AS COUNCILMEMBERS TO DO THAT.
03:45:44PM THAT IS WHAT OUR MOTION ENCOMPASSES.
03:45:47PM SIX THINGS FROM OUR MEMO.
03:45:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A MOTION AND A SECOND AND COUNCILWOMAN
03:45:51PM HURTAK.
03:45:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
03:45:52PM I AM LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR TAMPA JUST TO DO IT.
03:45:56PM TWO THINGS THAT ARE SIMPLY ON THE STAFF REPORTS AND
03:46:00PM UNFINISHED -- BECAUSE THEY ARE OVER $1 MILLION.
03:46:02PM JUST APPROVING THE FINAL LANGUAGE OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
03:46:05PM CODE CYCLE WHICH WE ALREADY LOOKED AT.
03:46:07PM AND THEN COUNCILMAN VIERA, YOU HAVE, LIKE, SIX THINGS.
03:46:10PM >>LUIS VIERA: I KNOW THAT.
03:46:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU GET TO CHOOSE SOME THINGS TO MOVE.
03:46:14PM >>LUIS VIERA: I AM GOING TO BE A BARBER, TRUST ME.
03:46:17PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SO I THINK -- OUT OF THOSE 13 THINGS, SOME OF
03:46:23PM THOSE ARE SIMPLY ARE GOING TO BE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE
03:46:25PM THEM.
03:46:26PM AND I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN -- IF -- IF POSSIBLY WITH MR.
03:46:31PM CARLSON ELSE APPROVAL, MOVE THE FDOT UPDATE.
03:46:35PM SOME OF THESE WE CAN.
03:46:37PM BUT FDOT, THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO MOVE IT.
03:46:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
03:46:47PM I LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING IT AGAIN.
03:46:49PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
03:46:51PM ANY OPPOSED?
03:46:53PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:46:54PM LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA, ITEM 47.
03:46:57PM YES, MA'AM.
03:47:03PM >>REBECCA JOHNS: REBECCA JOHNS, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
03:47:10PM A PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO IMPLEMENT A MONITORING AND
03:47:13PM COMPLIANCE FEE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
03:47:16PM FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE APPROVED
03:47:19PM PURSUANT TO LIVE LOCAL HOUSE BILL 1339 OR PURSUANT TO A CITY
03:47:24PM CODE PROVISION LIKE A BONUS PROVISION.
03:47:27PM THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING -- THIS COULD GIVE
03:47:30PM SOMEBODY A COMPLEX.
03:47:32PM EVERYBODY WALKING OUT.
03:47:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE ARE HAPPY -- WE ARE HAPPY TO SEE YOU.
03:47:38PM >>REBECCA JOHNS: THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING
03:47:42PM THOSE DEVELOPMENTS TO ENSURE THAT THE TENANTS ARE QUALIFIED
03:47:45PM TENANTS AND THEY MONITOR THEM ONCE A YEAR TO MAKE SURE THEY
03:47:48PM ARE MEETING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTIONS.
03:47:50PM THIS ORDINANCE WOULD REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR THE STAFF COST
03:47:54PM THAT IT TAKES TO MONITOR THOSE DEVELOPMENTS.
03:47:56PM THIS ORDINANCE WOULD ACTUALLY JUST IMPLEMENT THE FEE.
03:48:00PM WE WOULD THEN PASS OR INSTALL THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF THE FEES
03:48:06PM PURSUANT TO A RESOLUTION.
03:48:07PM THAT WILL JUST MAKE IT EASIER IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE FEE
03:48:10PM DOWN THE REED.
03:48:11PM YOU JUST ADOPT A NEW RESOLUTION INSTEAD OF HAVING TO AMEND
03:48:14PM THE ORDINANCE.
03:48:15PM WE WILL BE SUBMITTING A PROPOSED RESOLUTION WITH THE SECOND
03:48:21PM READING OF THE ORDINANCE WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THOSE ACTUAL
03:48:24PM FEES.
03:48:24PM THE FEES THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT ARE AN INITIAL FEE OF
03:48:29PM $1,000.
03:48:29PM AND THEN THE ANNUAL FEE OF $500 FOR FIVE UNITS OR LESS AND
03:48:36PM $50 FOR EACH UNIT ABOVE THAT.
03:48:39PM AGAIN, THAT WILL BE A RESOLUTION THAT WILL COME WITH THE
03:48:42PM SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE.
03:48:43PM AGAIN, THIS WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE
03:48:46PM APPROVED PURSUANT TO LIVE LOCAL HOUSE BILL 1339 OAR CITY
03:48:51PM CODE FOR THOSE PROJECTS THAT THE CITY FUNDS.
03:48:53PM THOSE FEES ARE ALREADY INCLUDED IN FUNDING AGREEMENTS FOR A
03:48:58PM OAR COVERED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS WITH THE FUNDING.
03:49:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
03:49:04PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
03:49:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR PUTTING THIS
03:49:07PM TOGETHER SO QUICKLY.
03:49:08PM THIS IS ONE OF THOSE LAST HURDLES THAT WE AS A CITY WE DON'T
03:49:14PM OFTEN REMEMBER TO DO AFTER -- AFTER PUTTING EVERYTHING
03:49:17PM TOGETHER.
03:49:17PM SO I JUST REALLY WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR -- FOR PUT THIS
03:49:22PM TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN KEEP TRACK AND MAKE SURE
03:49:24PM THAT ALL OF THESE AFFORDABLE UNITS STAY AFFORDABLE.
03:49:27PM SO THANK YOU.
03:49:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO YOU NEED ANY ACTION FROM US TODAY?
03:49:32PM >>REBECCA JOHNS: NOT TODAY.

03:49:35PM IF YOU -- IF YOU SET A DATE FOR US TO BRING IT BACK FOR
03:49:39PM FIRST READING.
03:49:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU WANT A DATE TODAY?
03:49:42PM IS IT READY IN HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED?
03:49:45PM >>REBECCA JOHNS: IT IS READY.
03:49:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MEETING MAY 2.
03:49:48PM WOULD THAT BE A GOOD DATE FOR YOU?
03:49:52PM >> THAT'S FINE.
03:49:52PM IT IS READY TO GO.
03:49:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL MAKE THAT MOTION TO BRING IT BACK ON
03:49:57PM MAY 2.
03:49:59PM WE SHOULDN'T EVEN NEED TO -- IT SHOULD BE A QUICK APPROVAL.
03:50:02PM SO THANK YOU SO AS MUCH.
