9:14:12AM SPP IS HAVING A GROUND BREAKING THIS MORNING.
9:14:18AM IT IS THEIR FIRST RESIDENTIAL BUILDING.
9:14:19AM THAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HISTORY CENTER AT BENEFICIAL
9:14:22AM AND CHANNELSIDE.
9:14:23AM THAT IS A COMBINATION OF RENTAL UNITS, CONDOMINIUM UNITS,

9:14:31AM >> WHAT TIME ARE THEY HAVING THAT?
9:14:33AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: STARTED AT 9:00.
9:14:35AM IF WE MOVE QUICKLY, I'M SURE YOU'LL GET THERE BEFORE IT'S
9:14:40AM OVER.
9:14:41AM CHANNEL DISTRICT, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING ARCHITECTS
9:14:43AM AND CONTRACTORS AND ENGINEERS TO COMPLETE THE STRATEGIC
9:14:46AM ACTION PLAN.
9:14:47AM THAT IS A NUMBER OF ROADWAY SEGMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE
9:14:52AM INFRASTRUCTURE.
9:14:53AM AS WELL AS WE SHOULD BEGIN CONSTRUCTION OF THE PUBLIC PARK
9:14:56AM IN THE NOT-TOO-DISTANT FUTURE WHICH WILL COMPLETE THE PLANS
9:15:03AM FOR THE CHANNEL DISTRICT.
9:15:04AM IN THE HEIGHTS, WE HAVE PLANS SUBMITTED FOR AN OFFICE
9:15:07AM BUILDING, AND WE'RE EXPECTING SHORTLY SUBMITTAL FOR A
9:15:10AM PARKING GARAGE AND RETAIL.
9:15:12AM SO THAT DEVELOPMENT IS ON A POSITIVE TRACTION AND MOVING
9:15:14AM WELL.
9:15:15AM LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WEST TAMPA, THE MURAL IN SALCINES PARK
9:15:21AM IS ALMOST COMPLETED, AND YOU SHOULD BE RECEIVING INVITATIONS
9:15:26AM FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE COMPLETION OF THAT.
9:15:28AM THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.
9:15:32AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
9:15:34AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: MR. McDONAUGH, I SAW THAT YBOR CITY CRA
9:15:37AM STAFF WENT TO THE FLORIDA REDEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION MEETING.
9:15:40AM ANY SENSE OF WHAT -- OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN STATEWIDE IN
9:15:45AM TERMS OF CRAs AND SOME OF THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA ITEMS
9:15:47AM THAT MIGHT BE COMING UP?
9:15:49AM I'M SURE THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOMEONE THAT HAD A
9:15:51AM CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT AT SOME POINT.
9:15:53AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: I WAS LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER TO SEE IF
9:15:55AM DIANNE HART WAS THERE.
9:15:57AM VERY TOPICAL SUBJECT FOR HER.
9:16:01AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I THINK REPRESENTATIVE HART ISN'T GOING TO BE
9:16:03AM OUR ISSUE.
9:16:03AM I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER FOLKS TO DEAL WITH.
9:16:06AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: WE NEED ALL THE COMMISSIONER LEADERS WE CAN
9:16:09AM GET.
9:16:09AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THAT'S FOR SURE.
9:16:12AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: AGAIN, THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE THAT'S
9:16:14AM COMING IN I THINK HAS VERY MUCH THE SAME TEMPERAMENT AS THE
9:16:17AM PERSON WHO HAD THE SEAT BEFORE.
9:16:21AM I'M SURE WE'LL SEE THE SAME THING WE DID.
9:16:23AM WHETHER OR NOT THEY'LL BE SUCCESSFUL, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY
9:16:26AM KNOWS UNTIL WE GET THERE.
9:16:27AM AGAIN, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OR SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS
9:16:31AM HAPPENED.
9:16:33AM AGAIN, I AM VERY COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT IN THE FACT THAT
9:16:37AM MANY OF THE THINGS THAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS ASKED OF CRAs,
9:16:42AM IT'S OUR NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS.
9:16:46AM WE DO THE AUDITS.
9:16:47AM WE ARE TRANSPARENT.
9:16:48AM WE HAVE THE WEBSITE.
9:16:49AM OUR MONIES ARE SPENT IN A FASHION THAT I THINK ARE HIGHLY
9:16:52AM DEFENSIBLE.
9:16:53AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAD THROWN DOWN
9:16:56AM THE GAUNTLET YET.
9:16:57AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: NO, NOT YET.
9:16:59AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: -- AND WARNING SIGNS, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THAT
9:17:01AM IS A BIG ISSUE FOR US.
9:17:03AM IT'S CONSTANT.
9:17:04AM I AGREE WITH YOU.
9:17:05AM I THINK THE INCOMING SPEAKER, HE IS AN ACOLYTE OF THE
9:17:08AM PREVIOUS SPEAKER AND WILL PROBABLY HAVE THE SAME KIND OF
9:17:11AM DIRECTION.
9:17:12AM FOR ME, I THINK WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE VIGILANT ABOUT
9:17:15AM THIS.
9:17:15AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: YES.
9:17:16AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: AND MAKE SURE WE KEEP COMING BACK TO DISCUSS
9:17:19AM WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE GOING TO BE.
9:17:21AM THE NEW SPEAKER IS GOING TO HAVE ABOUT FIVE OR SIX LESS
9:17:24AM PEOPLE IN HIS CAUCUS.
9:17:26AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: RIGHT.
9:17:27AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THAT SHOULD HAVE SOME EFFECT IN THE
9:17:29AM LEGISLATURE.
9:17:29AM IT'S NOT PERFECT, AND WE DON'T HAVE A WAY OF STOPPING
9:17:31AM EVERYTHING, BUT THERE IS NOW ENOUGH FOLKS THERE THAT MIGHT
9:17:35AM HAVE AN EFFECT.
9:17:36AM I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF ANYBODY HAD ANY OPINION ABOUT WHAT HAD
9:17:40AM HAPPENED AT THE ASSOCIATION MEETING DONE I THINK THEY SEE
9:17:42AM THE USUAL STORM CLOUDS ON THE HORIZON AND WAIT TO SEE IF IT
9:17:46AM WILL BEAR RAIN.
9:17:47AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:17:47AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT ON THE AGENDA, WE HAVE A QUARTERLY
9:17:52AM REPORT FROM F.D.O.T.
9:17:53AM I DO NOT SEE ANYBODY FROM F.D.O.T. HERE.
9:17:55AM HAVING SAID THAT, LET'S MOVE INTO PUBLIC COMMENT.
9:17:57AM EACH SPEAKER WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK ON ANY ITEM
9:18:00AM THAT IS ON THE AGENDA.
9:18:01AM ONCE YOU APPROACH THE LECTERN, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.

9:18:14AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: JUST A MOMENT.
9:18:15AM [NO ENCODER]
9:18:25AM [NO ENCODER]
9:18:54AM [NO ENCODER]
9:18:57AM [NO ENCODER]
9:18:59AM >> -- SPEAKERS ADDRESSING ITEMS ON THE AGENDA WILL BE GIVEN
9:19:02AM PREFERENCE BEFORE CITIZENS SPEAKING ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS.
9:19:06AM EACH SPEAKER IS GIVEN THREE MINUTES.
9:19:08AM PLEASE BEGIN BY SAYING YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND IT IS
9:19:11AM REQUESTED THAT YOUR COMMENTS BE NOT DIRECTED PERSONALLY TO
9:19:14AM ANY CRA MEMBER OR STAFF MEMBER, BUT RATHER THE ISSUES THAT
9:19:19AM ARE DIRECTED TO THE CRA AS A BODY.
9:19:22AM CRA APPRECIATES YOUR COOPERATION MAINTAINING ORDERLY CONDUCT
9:19:30AM AND PROPER DECORUM.
9:19:31AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
9:19:33AM >> HI.
9:19:34AM OKAY.
9:19:35AM I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT USED TO THE NEW SYSTEM.
9:19:38AM NOT USED TO DEALING WITH LAW.
9:19:40AM STILL HAVE THE LEGAL POLICY, BUT EVERYTHING IS SUPPOSED TO
9:19:44AM ADD UP TO LAW.
9:19:46AM I'M EXPLAINING THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN AMERICAN SESSION
9:19:49AM WHICH IS A FREE SESSION COMING OUT IN JANUARY OF KINGS AND
9:19:53AM QUEENS AND SOVEREIGNS.
9:19:54AM NOW, I UNDERSTAND, WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE THOSE THAT ARE
9:19:57AM GOING TO BE DEBTORS UNDER THE OLD UNITED STATES.
9:20:00AM BECAUSE YOU CHOSE TO BE THERE.
9:20:03AM I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S WHAT
9:20:11AM YOU'RE DOING.
9:20:11AM THIS WHOLE YEAR TALKING ABOUT CLASSIFICATION, FIXING YOUR
9:20:14AM IDENTIFICATION, FIGURING OUT IF YOUR ID IS RIGHT, FIGURING
9:20:17AM OUT IF YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT SECTION.
9:20:19AM I HAD TO EXPLAIN IT AGAIN BECAUSE TRUMP WAS EXPLAINING IT
9:20:21AM THE WHOLE DARN TIME AND NOBODY WAS LISTEN.
9:20:24AM TRUMP IS YOUR PRESIDENT.
9:20:27AM I AM YOUR LOCAL PRESIDENT WHO YOU NEVER LISTEN TO.
9:20:31AM TRUMP HAS BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU ALL THAT HE WAS
9:20:34AM NEVER YOUR PRESIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
9:20:35AM HE SAT IN THE SEAT TEMPORARY FOR ME BECAUSE HE NEW DAMN WELL
9:20:40AM THAT SOME OF YOU ARE VERY ARROGANT AND DON'T WANT AN
9:20:44AM AMERICAN AND NEVER HAD AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT, SO YOU ARE
9:20:46AM USED TO FOREIGN PRESIDENTS AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO BOW DOWN
9:20:50AM UNDER A FOREIGNER ON MY OWN DARN LAND.
9:20:53AM I'M THE CREEK INDIAN.
9:20:55AM YES, I'VE BEEN REINSTATED.
9:20:57AM YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT REINSTATEMENT IS UNLESS I'M TALKING
9:21:01AM ABOUT PROBATION.
9:21:03AM THAT'S A SHAME.
9:21:04AM THEY LOOK AT ME LIKE, BUT IF I SAY PROBATION REINSTATEMENT,
9:21:08AM YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
9:21:10AM UNH-UNH.
9:21:11AM OKAY.
9:21:11AM LOOK PEOPLE I WANT YOU ALL TO UNDERSTAND.
9:21:16AM WE'LL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT KING AND SERVANT RELATIONSHIP ABOUT
9:21:20AM DEBTOR AND CREDITOR RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE WE NEED A GRANT
9:21:24AM RELATIONSHIP.
9:21:25AM WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING AGAINST EACH OTHER.
9:21:27AM I WASH YOUR HANDS, YOU WASH MY FEET OR I WASH YOUR FEET, YOU
9:21:31AM WASH MY HANDS.
9:21:33AM THAT'S THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GOING.
9:21:35AM LIKE AFRICA, EUROPE, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FRIENDS HERE.
9:21:38AM WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO ATTACK MY AMERICA WHEN YOU CLAIM TO BE
9:21:42AM FRIENDS HERE?
9:21:42AM AND IN AFRICA, MY BROWN SKIN TOOK YOUR BUTT IN.
9:21:47AM HOW DARE YOU TURN AGAINST MY AMERICA LIKE THAT, AND HILLARY,
9:21:49AM ALL OF US AMERICANS TOOK YOU IN, HOW DARE YOU TURN AGAINST
9:21:53AM US.
9:21:53AM SAME THING WITH YOU, OBAMA.
9:21:55AM YOU WEREN'T THAT DARN SLICK.
9:21:57AM AMERICANS TOOK YOU IN WITH LOVING ARMS.
9:21:59AM YOU GUYS OH MY AMERICA, NOT THEM OWING YOU.
9:22:06AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:22:07AM NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
9:22:08AM >> METEZMET, TAMPA, FLORIDA.
9:22:17AM CONDOLENCES OUT TO THE SITUATION IN CALIFORNIA AND SEE HOW
9:22:21AM IT HAPPENS BUT THAT ALSO GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW GOVERNMENT
9:22:26AM WORKS.
9:22:26AM OF HOW YOUR REPRESENTATIVE WORKS.
9:22:31AM IT GIVES YOU A GREAT IDEA.
9:22:33AM ONGOING GUN VIOLENCE, AND NOBODY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
9:22:39AM IT'S JUST LIKE WITH THIS CITY.
9:22:41AM THE TAXPAYERS GIVE THEM A BIG BUDGET TO WORK WITH, AND WHAT
9:22:46AM THEY DO, SQUANDER IT.
9:22:48AM ONCE A MONTH, THEY HAVE POLICE AND FIRE ACCOMMODATIONS.
9:22:56AM WASTE IN TAXPAYERS' MONEY.
9:22:58AM WASTE IN ABOUT $10,000 A MONTH FOR DECADES.
9:23:02AM WASTING IT.
9:23:03AM NOT DOING REAL POLICE WORK.
9:23:09AM SOLVE SOME UNSOLVED MURDERS.
9:23:14AM THERE'S ENOUGH TECHNOLOGY OUT THERE TO DO THAT.
9:23:17AM SOLVE SOME UNSOLVED MYSTERIES.
9:23:18AM THEY ARE WASTING TAXPAYER'S TIME AND MONEY.
9:23:21AM YOU CAN GIVE AN IDEA OF HOW A PERSON FEEL ABOUT A JOB.
9:23:26AM ANYTIME I'VE BEEN ON A JOB, IF I LIKE THAT JOB, I GET THERE
9:23:31AM 30 MINUTES EARLY, SOMETIMES EVEN AN HOUR EARLY.
9:23:33AM MAKE PREPARATIONS FOR THE JOB 15 MINUTES EARLY.
9:23:35AM GO AND CHECK MY TIMECARD AT ANY JOB I'VE EVER BEEN ON.
9:23:39AM I'VE ALWAYS HAD ENOUGH RESPECT, AND WE'RE TALKING PRIVATE
9:23:42AM INDUSTRY, BUT HERE YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF CLOWNS THAT GO OUT
9:23:45AM AND BEG THE VOTERS FOR THEIR VOTE AND SAY, HEY, I DO THIS
9:23:49AM AND I REPRESENT YOU IN A CERTAIN WAY AND I WANT TO BE IN
9:23:53AM YOUR LEADERSHIP AND I WANT TO MANAGE THE CITY BUDGET AND A
9:23:57AM LOT OF THEM PROBABLY CAN'T MANAGE THEIR OWN BUDGETS.
9:23:59AM LOOK AROUND.
9:24:02AM CLOWN SITUATIONS GOING ON.
9:24:03AM MISMANAGEMENT OF TAXPAYERS' MONEY.
9:24:06AM MISMANAGEMENT OF TAXPAYERS' MONEY.
9:24:08AM LOOK OUTSIDE.
9:24:11AM OPEN THIS BLIND RIGHT HERE AND LOOK OUTSIDE.
9:24:13AM A BICYCLE LANE THAT NOT ONE BICYCLE SOMETIMES FOR THE WHOLE
9:24:17AM DAY GO THROUGH.
9:24:20AM WASTE IN TAXPAYERS' MONEY.
9:24:22AM GIVING MONEY AWAY TO CONTRACTORS THAT WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY
9:24:25AM WORK.
9:24:25AM THE TAXPAYERS CAN NEVER KNOW HOW THEY WORK.
9:24:28AM IF I HAVE A JOB, I'M GOING TO BE ON TIME FOR THAT JOB.
9:24:31AM MOST OF THE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE THAT YOU SEE UP HERE, THAT
9:24:33AM THEY WANT YOU TO WORSHIP THEM IN SOME KIND OF WAY OR, NO,
9:24:36AM YOU CAN'T SPEAK TO THEM DIRECTLY.
9:24:39AM YOU HAVE TO SPEAK TO THEM AS A BODY.
9:24:41AM WHAT ARE THEY?
9:24:42AM SOME KIND OF DAMN KING OR SOMETHING?
9:24:44AM SOME KIND OF QUEEN?
9:24:46AM WHY YOU CAN'T CALL THEM OUT.
9:24:48AM SOME OF THEM LOCKED INTO A CERTAIN DISTRICT.
9:24:52AM SOMETHING GOING ON IN YOUR DISTRICT, YOU CAN'T CALL THEM OUT
9:24:54AM BY NAME?
9:24:55AM WHAT ARE THEY?
9:24:57AM KINGS AND QUEENS?
9:24:57AM DICTATORS?
9:24:59AM YOU CAN'T CALL THEM OUT BY NAME.
9:25:01AM YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THEM AS A BODY.
9:25:03AM WHY AM I ADDRESSING THEM AS A BODY FOR?
9:25:05AM YOU ALL MAKE UP ALL KIND OF UNDERSTOOD RULES.
9:25:08AM BUT ONE THING WE SHOULD KNOW, THIS THING SHOULD NOT GO
9:25:13AM FORWARD.
9:25:14AM IT SHOULD NOT GO FORWARD.
9:25:15AM NOT ONE BLACK VOTE, BECAUSE WE'RE IN A NEW ELECTION SEASON
9:25:18AM NOW.
9:25:19AM NOT ONE BLACK VOTE FOR JANE CASTOR.
9:25:22AM NOT ONE.
9:25:23AM I'M ADVISING AFRICAN PEOPLE BUT REALLY ALL PEOPLE OF
9:25:27AM CONSCIENCE.
9:25:27AM BUT BLACK PEOPLE IN PARTICULAR, NOT ONE BLACK VOTE FOR JANE
9:25:31AM CASTOR.
9:25:32AM SHE'S NO DIFFERENT THAN BOB BUCKHORN.
9:25:36AM DISRESPECTFUL TO AFRICAN PEOPLE.
9:25:38AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:25:39AM NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
9:25:44AM >> GOOD MORNING.
9:25:45AM I'M SALLYISE D. LEE OF THE VOLUNTEER MISSIONARY SOCIETY
9:25:51AM COMMUNITY PENNY FUND.
9:25:53AM AND THE REASON WHY I'M HERE, I WANTED TO FIND OUT ABOUT A
9:25:58AM SPACE THAT WE COULD USE TO ASK EACH CITIZEN IN HILLSBOROUGH
9:26:05AM COUNTY FOR A DOLLAR TO HELP US OPEN AND FIND A BUILDING FOR
9:26:12AM OUR MISSION RESOURCE CENTER, WHICH WILL PROVIDE RESOURCES
9:26:15AM AND SERVICES FOR SENIORS, FOR SINGLE PARENTS AND AT-RISK
9:26:20AM KIDS.
9:26:21AM WE'VE BEEN ESTABLISHED SINCE 1979, AND I'M ALSO A COUNTY
9:26:30AM COMMISSIONER GRADUATE.
9:26:31AM AND I WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THIS PROJECT FOR FUNDING, AND I
9:26:36AM WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE PERMISSION I WOULD HAVE TO GET IN
9:26:43AM ORDER TO HAVE THE CARS DRIVE BY, DROP A DOLLAR AND GO.
9:26:47AM I DON'T THINK 100 PENNIES WILL BREAK THE BANK.
9:26:51AM I REALLY NEED COOPERATION AND GUIDANCE SO I WON'T BREAK ANY
9:26:56AM RULES, YOU KNOW, HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE POLICE OR
9:26:57AM ANYTHING.
9:26:58AM I CAME TO ASK FOR GUIDANCE AS TO WHERE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
9:27:04AM ON SATURDAYS FOR ABOUT THREE OR FOUR HOURS DO THIS
9:27:08AM FUND-RAISER BECAUSE IT'S FOR A GREAT CAUSE FOR OUR MISSION
9:27:13AM RESOURCE CENTER TO HELP OUR CITIZENS IN THE COMMUNITY.
9:27:17AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN SUAREZ.
9:27:18AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YOU WANT TO DO IT THIS SATURDAY?
9:27:22AM >> YES, SIR.
9:27:22AM WE WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN THIS SATURDAY IF WE COULD FIND A
9:27:25AM LOCATION THAT WOULD BE PERMISSIBLE.
9:27:28AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YOU ARE A NONPROFIT.
9:27:29AM YOU'RE FILED AS A 4 --
9:27:31AM >> YES, WE ARE.
9:27:32AM FAITH-BASED.
9:27:33AM I LIVE IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS ON CHELSEA.
9:27:38AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IN ORDER TO KNOW THE RULES CONCERNING THAT
9:27:40AM TYPE OF COLLECTION, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONTACT OUR LEGAL
9:27:44AM DEPARTMENT.
9:27:45AM WE HAVE OUR ATTORNEY HERE.
9:27:47AM MR. MARTIN, IF YOU COULD GET HER TO THE RIGHT PERSON, THAT
9:27:50AM WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING.
9:27:51AM KIND OF SOON.
9:27:52AM TODAY IS THURSDAY AND YOU WANT TO DO IT ON SATURDAY.
9:27:54AM SO THERE MAY BE SOME RULES YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT, AS
9:27:58AM YOU MENTIONED.
9:27:59AM HE CAN TAKE YOU OFF-LINE AFTERWARDS AND MAYBE TALK TO YOU,
9:28:02AM IF THAT'S OKAY?
9:28:03AM >> YES, SIR.
9:28:03AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
9:28:04AM GREAT.
9:28:04AM >> THANK YOU.
9:28:05AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:28:06AM ANYBODY ELSE?
9:28:06AM MR. McDONAUGH?
9:28:08AM [NO ENCODER]
9:28:16AM [NO ENCODER]
9:28:36AM [NO ENCODER]
9:28:40AM [NO ENCODER]
9:28:43AM -- PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
9:28:46AM WE'RE JUST COMING INTO BECOMING A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN.
9:28:49AM AND THIS PETITION IS TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS AT THE 2100 BLOCK
9:28:54AM OF WEST CLEVELAND STREET AND 100 BLOCK WESTLAND AVENUE.
9:29:00AM WE HAVE HAD 25 ACCIDENTS AT THIS INTERSECTION WITHIN THE
9:29:04AM PAST 13 MONTHS.
9:29:05AM I'VE LIVED AT THIS RESIDENCE, AT THIS HOME FOR 20 YEARS.
9:29:10AM AND THE ACCIDENTS HAVE INCREASED WITH THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC
9:29:18AM WE HAVE IN OUR CITY TODAY, YET MY RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS IS
9:29:26AM WE NEED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF A WARNING SIGN THAT THIS IS A
9:29:30AM HIGH-ACCIDENT AREA.
9:29:33AM NOW, THE BLOCK RIGHT BEFORE WESTLAND IS ALBANY, AND AT
9:29:39AM ALBANY, CLEVELAND OPENS UP TO A THREE-LANE HIGHWAY.
9:29:44AM THE RIGHT LANE GOES TO HOWARD.
9:29:50AM THE CENTER LANE GOES ON TO ARMENIA, AND THEN WHEN THE THIRD
9:29:55AM LANE OPENS, THAT WILL GO ONTO ARMENIA ALSO.
9:29:58AM ALL THE ACCIDENTS ARE HAPPENING RIGHT THERE AT WESTLAND AND
9:30:04AM CLEVELAND BECAUSE THAT ALBANY LANE -- OR THAT OPEN -- WE'VE
9:30:09AM OPENED THE LANE ON CLEVELAND THERE, SO AS SOON AS WE SEE AN
9:30:14AM OPEN LANE, WHAT HAPPENS?
9:30:14AM WE TAKE AND SHOOT FOR IT.
9:30:17AM THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR, AND THEY ARE
9:30:22AM T-BONING THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE THE OTHER TWO LANES HAVE
9:30:25AM STOPPED AND THEY'RE LETTING PEOPLE CROSS SO THEY CAN GET
9:30:29AM ACROSS.
9:30:30AM BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IN TAMPA?
9:30:33AM ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN SOUTH TAMPA ARE TRYING TO GET
9:30:38AM THROUGH, AND THEY HAVE -- WHAT CAN THEY GO DOWN?
9:30:44AM THEY CAN GO STRAIGHT DOWN AND THEN GO TO ARMENIA.
9:30:48AM THEN ARMENIA TAKES YOU DOWN TO SWANN, WHICH IS ANOTHER STOP
9:30:54AM AND YOU HAVE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT TO GO ON FARTHER DOWN
9:30:58AM INTO SOUTH TAMPA.
9:30:59AM IF WE TAKE AND STOP THAT -- IF WE COULD OPEN THE LANE AFTER
9:31:04AM WESTLAND, IT WILL STOP ALL THOSE ACCIDENTS.
9:31:08AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN, SUAREZ -- SORRY, COUNCILMAN
9:31:11AM COHEN AND THEN --
9:31:14AM >>HARRY COHEN: YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE PETITION?
9:31:16AM >> I HAVE IT RIGHT HERE.
9:31:17AM >>HARRY COHEN: WE WILL DEFINITELY TAKE IT AND MAKE SURE THAT
9:31:20AM TRANSPORTATION LOOKS AT THAT SPECIFIC AREA.
9:31:22AM IT IS A DICEY SET OF ROADS AROUND THAT ENTIRE GREENWISE,
9:31:29AM ARMENIA AREA.
9:31:32AM SO WE'LL BE HAPPY TO MAKE SURE --
9:31:36AM >> -- SOMETHING WHERE PEOPLE HAVE A WARNING OF WHAT'S
9:31:38AM HAPPENING.
9:31:38AM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
9:31:43AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I WAS GOING TO SAY, WE'RE NOT SITTING AS CITY
9:31:45AM COUNCIL RIGHT NOW.
9:31:46AM WE'RE SITTING AS YOUR COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY.
9:31:50AM >> RIGHT.
9:31:51AM I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT.
9:31:51AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE.
9:31:59AM WE CAN'T RECEIVE AND FILE IT HERE.
9:32:00AM IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECORD HERE.
9:32:00AM WE WON'T MAKE IT PART OF THE RECORD, I DON'T THINK.
9:32:01AM AS MR. COHEN MENTIONED, WE'LL GET IT TO THE TRANSPORTATION
9:32:03AM DEPARTMENT AND FIND OUT WHAT IS AVAILABLE FOR US TO DO IN
9:32:06AM TERMS OF THE NEXT STEPS.
9:32:07AM >> THE OTHER REASON I DID COME TO PRESENT IT IN FRONT OF OUR
9:32:11AM COMMITTEE OR PEOPLE IS BECAUSE WE AS A COMMUNITY -- IT
9:32:15AM DOESN'T NECESSARILY WORK SO WELL IF WE JUST HAND IT TO A
9:32:19AM TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THE GENERAL PUBLIC ISN'T
9:32:22AM SEEING AND HEARING WHAT'S GOING ON.
9:32:23AM I WANT TO HAVE A SUNSHINE STATE, A SUNSHINE CITY WHERE
9:32:29AM EVERYTHING IS OPEN SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS
9:32:36AM AND WE NEED TO BE ADDRESSING THESE PROBLEMS.
9:32:38AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I APPRECIATE THAT, SIR.
9:32:40AM AS YOU KNOW, EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION WE RECEIVE, WHETHER
9:32:42AM IT'S AN E-MAIL OR YOU COMING HERE IS PART OF THE PUBLIC
9:32:45AM RECORD IN TERMS OF SUNSHINE LAW.
9:32:47AM SO THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
9:32:48AM WHAT WE'LL DO IS, IF YOU DON'T MIND, DO YOU HAVE ANY
9:32:52AM INFORMATION ON HERE ABOUT YOUR E-MAIL OR PHONE NUMBER?
9:32:55AM >> IT'S ON THE LAST PAGE.
9:32:56AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: TERRIFIC.
9:32:58AM WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU ARE INFORMED FROM ONE OF US, ALL OF US.
9:33:03AM >> THANK YOU.
9:33:03AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:33:04AM ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK?
9:33:06AM WE'LL MOVE ON TO REQUIRED APPROVALS.
9:33:08AM MR. McDONAUGH.
9:33:10AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: THE YCDC HAS PERFORMED A COUPLE OF SURVEYS,
9:33:14AM AND GRANT WOULD LIKE TO DISTRIBUTE THAT TO THE BOARD WITH
9:33:20AM YOUR PERMISSION.
9:33:21AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SURE.
9:33:33AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: THE FIRST ITEM I HAVE IS A REQUEST TO
9:33:36AM TRANSFER TO DEBT SERVICE FUND.
9:33:38AM THIS IS, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT TO GET TOURIST
9:33:42AM DEVELOPMENT TAX DOLLARS TO HELP FUND SOME OF THE
9:33:45AM IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CONVENTION CENTER.
9:33:49AM AND WHAT THIS IS DOING IS TAKING MONEY GIVEN TO US FROM
9:33:52AM TOURIST DEVELOPMENT TAX DOLLARS AND RETURNING IT TO THE
9:33:54AM BALANCE OF DOWNTOWN.
9:33:59AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
9:34:00AM MIRANDA, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN SUAREZ.
9:34:03AM ALL IN FAVOR?
9:34:06AM >> AYE.
9:34:06AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ITEM NUMBER 5.
9:34:08AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: ITEM NUMBER 5 IS TRANSFERRING FUNDS FROM
9:34:10AM NEIGHBORHOOD INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE CUMBERLAND CROSSING.
9:34:15AM AS YOU KNOW, WE FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED THAT.
9:34:17AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA WITH A
9:34:20AM SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN SUAREZ.
9:34:21AM ALL IN FAVOR?
9:34:22AM ALL RIGHT.
9:34:23AM ITEM NUMBER 6.
9:34:24AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: ASKING FOR YOU TO REVIEW AND FILE THE
9:34:29AM QUARTERLY TIF FINANCIAL REPORT.
9:34:32AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE WE ACCEPT THAT.
9:34:35AM LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
9:34:38AM I WAS LOOKING AT NUMBERS FROM THE DOWNTOWN CRA.
9:34:39AM WE HAVE MADE THE FINAL PAYMENT FOR THE CONVENTION CENTER
9:34:42AM NOW.
9:34:42AM READING IT --
9:34:43AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: OH, NO, NO.
9:34:45AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I'M ASKING.
9:34:46AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CONVENTION
9:34:49AM CENTER BONDS, THEY WERE RETIRED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
9:34:51AM IF YOU RECALL, WE TOOK OUT A LOAN TO FINANCE THE
9:34:57AM IMPROVEMENTS.
9:34:58AM WE HAVE A JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY WHERE THEY
9:35:00AM ARE GIVING US $2 MILLION A YEAR IN TOURIST DEVELOPMENT TAX
9:35:03AM DOLLARS TO OFFSET OUR EXPENSES.
9:35:05AM WE'RE PAYING THE CONTRACTOR AND THEN GETTING A REFUND ON A
9:35:10AM ANNUAL BASIS FROM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
9:35:11AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WHAT ARE THE ENCUMBRANCES FOR THIS PARTICULAR
9:35:14AM FISCAL YEAR?
9:35:15AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: WE STILL HAVE A -- PROBABLY THE LARGEST
9:35:19AM WOULD BE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE'RE SPENDING DOWN THERE WITH
9:35:22AM SPP FOR THE ROAD NETWORK.
9:35:24AM FIVE PLUS MILLION DOLLARS.
9:35:27AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE IT'S LISTED
9:35:27AM HERE, BUT IT'S NOT LISTED SPECIFICALLY.
9:35:30AM I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
9:35:30AM THANK YOU.
9:35:31AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND SECOND
9:35:33AM FROM COUNCILMAN SUAREZ.
9:35:35AM ALL IN FAVOR.
9:35:35AM ALL RIGHT.
9:35:36AM MOTION PASSES.
9:35:37AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.
9:35:39AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:35:40AM WE'LL GO TO INFORMATION REPORTS AND NEW BUSINESS.
9:35:42AM >>LUIS VIERA: NOTHING, SIR.
9:35:43AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: [MICROPHONE NOT ON]
9:35:45AM -- COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WE GOT A -- TAMPA RIVERWALK WAS
9:35:53AM NAMED THE BEST PLACE IN AMERICA BY THE APA.
9:35:59AM >>FRANK REDDICK: NOTHING.
9:36:01AM >>HARRY COHEN: [INAUDIBLE]
9:36:02AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: JUST ONE THING, THIS IS TO REITERATE WHAT WE
9:36:05AM WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER WITH MR. McDONAUGH, WHICH IS
9:36:08AM NOW THAT WE HAVE A NEW LEGISLATURE, THERE'S BEEN SOME
9:36:10AM CHANGES IN THE HOUSE.
9:36:11AM THERE MAY OR MAY NOT BE ANY CHANGES IN THE STATE SENATE.
9:36:13AM AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE VIGILANT ABOUT WHAT
9:36:17AM THEY'RE GOING TO DO CONCERNING CRA, CRA MAKEUP, WHAT WE CAN
9:36:21AM DO IN TERMS OF BONDING AND BORROWING.
9:36:23AM AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT
9:36:26AM THIS.
9:36:26AM I WOULD REQUEST ALL OF OUR MEMBERS HERE, NOT AS A MOTION,
9:36:30AM BUT JUST AS SOMETHING TO DO, THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
9:36:33AM WE REACH OUT TO AS MANY LEGISLATORS AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE
9:36:36AM SESSION STARTS TO TELL THEM HOW IMPORTANT THE CRA IS BECAUSE
9:36:39AM WE NEED MORE ALLIES SO WE DO NOT COME UP WITH THE SAME
9:36:42AM SITUATION WE HAD LAST YEAR.
9:36:44AM NOW, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO WIN BUT AT THE VERY LEAST WE NEED
9:36:47AM TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING IT.
9:36:48AM MANY OF US ARE GOING TO BE GONE.
9:36:50AM IT'S INCUMBENT ON THOSE FOLKS THAT WILL STILL BE HERE TO
9:36:53AM KEEP THE VIGILANCE UP.
9:36:55AM APPRECIATE IT.
9:36:56AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:36:56AM ON A FINAL NOTE, REAL QUICK, TUESDAY NIGHT WE HAD OUR
9:37:00AM ELECTIONS.
9:37:00AM OF COURSE, EVERYBODY KNOWS, BUT LOOKING AT HOW IT WILL
9:37:05AM POSITIVELY IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY, THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION
9:37:09AM FAILED, WHICH IS GOOD FOR US.
9:37:12AM BUT TRANSPORTATION PASSED.
9:37:13AM I WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE EVERYBODY THAT WORKED SO HARD
9:37:16AM IN MAKING SURE THIS GOES THROUGH.
9:37:17AM BECAUSE NOW THE CITY WILL HAVE, AS WELL AS THE COUNTY,
9:37:20AM FUNDING TO CATCH UP ON ROAD PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN
9:37:23AM NEGLECTED, WHETHER IT'S STREET PAVING, WHETHER IT'S
9:37:26AM SIDEWALKS, BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS THAT HAVE BEEN
9:37:29AM NEGLECTED.
9:37:29AM I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT MOVING FORWARD.
9:37:33AM WE'LL SEE A LOT OF POSITIVE CHANGES.
9:37:36AM >>HARRY COHEN: I WAS GOING TO MENTION, I APPRECIATE YOU
9:37:39AM SAYING THAT BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A GAME CHANGER FOR THE
9:37:41AM COMMUNITY, I THINK, THE PASSAGE OF THIS TRANSPORTATION
9:37:44AM REFERENDUM.
9:37:44AM I KNOW THAT ON NOVEMBER 15th, WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE STAFF
9:37:47AM OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE MPO ALREADY COMING IN ON
9:37:52AM ANOTHER MATTER UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
9:37:53AM I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION -- I GUESS I CAN'T DO THAT NOW.
9:37:57AM HAVE TO DO IT TONIGHT.
9:37:58AM I'LL WAIT UNTIL TONIGHT.
9:38:01AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: MR. MEHLICH WOULD LIKE SOME TIME TO TALK
9:38:04AM ABOUT THAT SURVEY.
9:38:06AM IF YOU'D LIKE, WE CAN DO THAT RIGHT NOW OR PUT IT ON THE
9:38:09AM AGENDA FOR NEXT MONTH'S CRA MEETING AFTER YOU'VE HAD A
9:38:12AM CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE SURVEY.
9:38:14AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: HE'S HERE NOW.
9:38:16AM I DON'T WANT HIM TO COME HERE OUT OF BREATH NEXT TIME.
9:38:19AM HE CAN COME UP NOW IF THAT'S OKAY WITH THE REST OF THE
9:38:22AM AGENCY.
9:38:22AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE'LL GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT UP NOW.
9:38:26AM >>GRANT MEHLICH: I HAVE CAUGHT MY BREATH NOW.
9:38:28AM GUARANTEE YOU THE PRESENTATION WILL BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
9:38:30AM BASICALLY, THERE ARE TWO THINGS WE'VE DONE.
9:38:32AM YBOR CITY AND YCDC, WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS ESSENTIALLY
9:38:39AM CAPTURE DATA THAT WE FEEL IS PERTINENT HELPING US MOVE
9:38:43AM FORWARD, HELPING YBOR BECOME A BETTER PLACE.
9:38:47AM ON THE SLIDES YOU WERE GIVEN, I'D LIKE YOU TO TURN TO PAGE
9:38:52AM 3.
9:38:52AM THAT IS THE WORKER SURVEYS.
9:38:54AM IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE 3 ON THE BOTTOM, IT SHOWS BASICALLY
9:38:58AM ASSETS TO THE COMMUNITY AND WEAKNESSES.
9:39:01AM PART OF THE WEAKNESSES, AS YOU CAN SEE, JUST FROM THE
9:39:04AM WORKERS' STANDPOINT IS HOUSING AND ALSO, IN ADDITION,
9:39:10AM CONCERNS ABOUT CRIME.
9:39:12AM EVEN THOUGH FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, YBOR CITY HAS BECOME A LOT
9:39:17AM SAFER AND KIND OF REMOVING THE STIGMA THAT WE HAVE HAD.
9:39:20AM IF YOU TURN TO PAGE 10, WHICH IS THEN PART OF THE
9:39:23AM RESIDENTIAL SURVEY, AGAIN, THAT SHOWS THE ASSETS OF THE
9:39:30AM COMMUNITY AND THE NEGATIVES.
9:39:32AM AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE THERE IN THE NEGATIVES ARE CRIME,
9:39:36AM SHORTAGE OF HOUSING, AND JUST SOME BASIC OTHER THINGS.
9:39:41AM BUT THE TWO MAIN TAKEAWAYS I'D LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER FROM
9:39:46AM THAT IS DUE TO BASIC MACROECONOMICS, EVERYTHING IS A
9:39:54AM RESOURCE.
9:39:54AM AND WE'RE SHORT ON A RESOURCE VIA, FOR INSTANCE, POLICE, AND
9:39:59AM ALSO FROM A HOUSING SUPPLY.
9:40:00AM SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO COME TO YOU IN THE FUTURE, WE ARE
9:40:05AM GOING TO BE ASKING FOR A POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF THE CRA,
9:40:12AM OPPOSITE SIDE OF 22nd STREET, DOWN PAST 26th, IN ORDER
9:40:15AM TO CAPTURE FUTURE HOUSING SUPPLY FOR THE DISTRICT.
9:40:17AM AS YOU CAN SEE, THE DATA SHOWS THAT, HEY, PEOPLE REALLY
9:40:23AM TRULY WANT TO LIVE IN YBOR, BUT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A
9:40:26AM HOUSE.
9:40:27AM WE ARE GOING TO BE ASKING YOU THAT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS
9:40:31AM COMING DOWN THE ROAD.
9:40:32AM THE NEXT THING WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE ASKING YOU FOR IS A
9:40:36AM TPD SUBSTATION ON 7th AVENUE.
9:40:39AM WE BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL GO AHEAD AND CEMENT AND BUILD
9:40:43AM RELATIONSHIP WITH TPD AND THE LOCAL LEADERS AS WELL AS TAKE
9:40:48AM CARE OF A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT WERE DISCUSSED IN THE
9:40:50AM RESIDENT WORKER SURVEY.
9:40:52AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
9:40:54AM COUNCILMAN COHEN.
9:40:54AM >>HARRY COHEN: I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT PAGE 5.
9:40:58AM I SEE ALL THESE RETAIL LOGOS HERE ON REQUESTED ADDITIONS.
9:41:08AM ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS OFTEN EXPRESSED ABOUT YBOR CITY
9:41:13AM ONE OF ITS GREAT CHARMS IS AUTHENTICITY.
9:41:18AM I SEE REQUESTED ADDITIONS FOR ALL THE BIG-BOX STORES.
9:41:22AM I WONDER, IS THAT REALLY THE SENTIMENT THAT PEOPLE WANT
9:41:26AM TARGET AND BEST BUY TO COME TO YBOR CITY?
9:41:31AM IS THAT WHAT THIS IS SAYING?
9:41:33AM >>GRANT MEHLICH: IT'S EXACTLY SAYING THAT.
9:41:35AM WE GAVE THE RESIDENTS WHAT TYPE OF RESTAURANTS WOULD THEY
9:41:39AM LIKE TO SEE?
9:41:40AM WHAT TYPE OF RETAIL WOULD THEY LIKE TO SEE?
9:41:43AM WHAT TYPE OF GROCERY STORE THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE?
9:41:47AM >>HARRY COHEN: I JUST WONDER IF THAT WERE TO COME TO
9:41:50AM FRUITION AND A NEW CITY COUNCIL IS SITTING HERE TWO YEARS
9:41:53AM FROM NOW HAVING A LATE-NIGHT ZONING MEETING ABOUT WHETHER OR
9:41:58AM NOT TO PUT A TARGET OR WALMART ON 7th AVENUE, I WOULD SEE
9:42:04AM THAT AS BEING A VERY CONTROVERSIAL DEVELOPMENT.
9:42:05AM I'M A LITTLE BIT I GUESS SURPRISED OR INTERESTED.
9:42:12AM I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE RIGHT WORD IS, WITH THE IDEA
9:42:19AM THAT BIG BOX CHAINS, THE SAME TYPE OF THINGS WE SEE ON DALE
9:42:25AM MABRY WOULD BE NECESSARILY A WELCOME ADDITION, PARTICULARLY
9:42:28AM INTO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
9:42:32AM >>GRANT MEHLICH: WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT IF WE ALLOW PEOPLE,
9:42:35AM GIVE THEM THE OPTIONS -- THIS DATA, WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
9:42:38AM ABOUT, THE BIG-BOX STORES, THAT WAS JUST A WISH LIST THAT
9:42:41AM PEOPLE PUT IN.
9:42:42AM NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT WE SAID, OH, HEY, WE'LL PUSH
9:42:47AM FOR A PUBLIX OR WHOLE FOODS.
9:42:49AM BY GOD, IF WE WERE TO EVER HAVE A WHOLE FOODS ON 7th
9:42:53AM AVENUE, I THINK WE COULD ALL SAY YBOR HAS TRULY REACHED THE
9:42:56AM PROMISED LAND.
9:42:57AM I THINK THOSE ARE JUST MORE OF A -- JUST ALLOWING PEOPLE TO
9:43:02AM PICK AND EXPRESS THEIR OPINION.
9:43:04AM AGAIN, THOUGH, THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT I JUST WANTED TO
9:43:08AM HIGHLIGHT, THOUGH, ARE THE ASSETS AND NEGATIVES ON SLIDES 3
9:43:13AM AND 10, BECAUSE THAT REALLY POINTS TO SOME AREAS THAT WE DO
9:43:16AM HAVE SOME WORK TO DO.
9:43:18AM >>HARRY COHEN: THERE'S NO QUESTION WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE
9:43:20AM WORD CHARTS, THEY MATCH UP VERY WELL WITH WHAT WE HEAR FROM
9:43:25AM PEOPLE IN THIS CHAMBER, EVEN THE CHICKEN.
9:43:29AM COUNCILMAN SUAREZ NOTED THE CHICKENS WERE INCLUDED AS WELL.
9:43:33AM >>GRANT MEHLICH: FOR THE RECORD, THAT WAS MY FIRST MEETING
9:43:35AM --
9:43:36AM >>HARRY COHEN: WHEN I SEE THESE TYPE OF BIG-BOX NATIONAL
9:43:39AM CHAIN LOGOS ON HERE, I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT MAKES ME A
9:43:48AM LITTLE NERVOUS.
9:43:49AM I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL IF WE START
9:43:50AM AGGRESSIVELY GOING DOWN THAT ROAD.
9:43:52AM >>GRANT MEHLICH: AS CHAIR, I DON'T FORESEE US PROGRESSIVELY
9:43:56AM PURSUING ANY TYPES OF THOSE STORES.
9:44:00AM WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT TWO MAJOR NATIONAL BRANDS HAVE
9:44:01AM ACTUALLY SET UP THEIR COMPANY HEADQUARTERS IN YBOR CITY.
9:44:04AM ONE BEING ASHLEY FURNITURE AND THE OTHER ONE BEING BLC AND
9:44:09AM STANTEC.
9:44:11AM THAT'S INCREDIBLE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO LAND TWO NATIONAL FIRMS
9:44:14AM RIGHT HERE IN YBOR CITY.
9:44:16AM I THINK, AGAIN, THE OVERALL POINT, THOUGH, IS THAT
9:44:20AM DEVELOPERS, THE HABITATIONAL MARKET, THE REAL ESTATE MARKET
9:44:25AM AND RETAILERS ARE NOW HEAVILY INVESTING IN YBOR CITY.
9:44:29AM AGAIN, PART OF THAT IS FROM THIS CITY COUNCIL WORKING FOR
9:44:32AM US, AND FOR THAT, WE ARE GRATEFUL.
9:44:34AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: JUST TO REITERATE WHAT MR. COHEN SAID, I WAS
9:44:38AM REALLY SHOCKED WHEN I SAW THIS.
9:44:40AM I THOUGHT THAT WAS MAYBE SOME PLACEHOLDER NAMES, SORT OF A,
9:44:44AM HEY, WE WANT SOME KIND OF DIVERSITY OTHER THAN WHAT WE HAVE.
9:44:48AM THIS IS NOT DIVERSITY.
9:44:50AM THIS IS HOMOGENIZING WHAT YBOR CITY IS NOW.
9:44:54AM I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE DIVERSITY AND RETAIL DIVERSITY IN
9:44:58AM FOOD CHOICES, TOTALLY GET THAT.
9:45:00AM BUT SURE AS HECK WASN'T THAT.
9:45:02AM BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE PUTTING IN BUFFALO WILD
9:45:05AM WINGS.
9:45:05AM THAT WAS A HUGE ISSUE.
9:45:07AM PEOPLE WEREN'T VERY HAPPY ABOUT THEM RENTING AND EVENTUALLY
9:45:10AM GOING IN TO BUFFALO WILD WINGS.
9:45:15AM >>GRANT MEHLICH: CORRECT.
9:45:17AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: NOW IT'S SETTLED IN AND BEEN THERE A FEW
9:45:20AM YEARS.
9:45:20AM I'M LIKE MR. COHEN, SHOCKED BY THIS.
9:45:22AM OBVIOUSLY A BRAND LIKE PUBLIX OR WHOLE FOODS, GLAD TO SEE
9:45:26AM DUCKWEED WAS MENTIONED BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE A VERY GOOD
9:45:29AM JOB AS URBAN MARKET BOTH IN DOWNTOWN AND CHANNELSIDE, AND
9:45:32AM THAT PROBABLY IS GOING TO FIT MORE THE CHARACTER OF WHAT
9:45:36AM YBOR CITY THAN SOME OF THE OTHER BRANDS MENTIONED.
9:45:39AM YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS WE HAVE TO DEAL
9:45:43AM WITH.
9:45:43AM THE SAFETY ISSUE IS IMPORTANT AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
9:45:46AM I AGREE WITH YOU.
9:45:47AM I THINK IT'S MUCH SAFER NOW THAN IT'S EVER BEEN PRACTICALLY
9:45:53AM ANY OTHER TIME.
9:45:54AM BUT IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A SUBSTATION, A TPD SUBSTATION,
9:45:57AM WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE IT ON THE EDGES OF -- ON 7th AVENUE
9:46:02AM AS OPPOSED TO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
9:46:04AM I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT NECESSARILY IS A BAD THING ONE WAY OR
9:46:08AM THE OTHER.
9:46:09AM BUT IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT IN TERMS OF WHERE THE HIGH
9:46:11AM RENTS ARE, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUT
9:46:12AM SOMETHING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF 7th AVENUE.
9:46:14AM IT'S A POSSIBILITY, BUT IT MAY BE A LITTLE BIT OF A TIGHT
9:46:17AM SQUEEZE FOR US PRICE-WISE.
9:46:20AM >>GRANT MEHLICH: I REMEMBER ONE TIME WHEN WE SPOKE, YOU
9:46:22AM ACTUALLY TOLD ME, GRANT, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, I WANT YOU
9:46:25AM TO ALSO BRING A SOLUTION.
9:46:27AM THE SOLUTION TO THAT IS THERE IS AN AREA WITHIN CENTENNIAL
9:46:31AM PARK.
9:46:32AM RIGHT NOW IT'S AN ARTISTS AREA THAT WE WOULD BE CONSIDERING
9:46:36AM THAT AS A POTENTIAL SPACE FOR A TPD SUBSTATION.
9:46:40AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: USED TO GET FRENCH PASTRY THERE AND NOW
9:46:44AM CAN'T.
9:46:45AM APPRECIATE IT.
9:46:45AM >>GRANT MEHLICH: ONE MORE THING I WANT TO SAY, AND THIS WAS
9:46:48AM PART OF MY ORIGINAL PRESENTATION WHEN I WAS NOT DOING SO
9:46:52AM WELL, BUT ONE THING IS, WE ALSO, THIS PAST YEAR, WE PUT IN
9:46:55AM THE CROSSWALKS AND CROSS LIGHTS.
9:46:57AM I KNOW COUNCILMAN SUAREZ, YOU PERSONAL HELPED US PUSH THAT
9:47:02AM THROUGH.
9:47:03AM I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE IN THAT BECAUSE
9:47:05AM PUTTING IN THOSE CROSSWALKS FOR PEDESTRIANS TO CROSS PALM
9:47:09AM AVENUE AND ALSO FOR THE COLLEGE STUDENTS AT HCC, THERE'S NO
9:47:12AM DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THOSE LIGHTS AND BRICK CROSSWAYS HAVE
9:47:17AM SAVED LIVES.
9:47:18AM FOR THAT, WE ARE GRATEFUL.
9:47:19AM AND THANK YOU.
9:47:19AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU.
9:47:20AM APPRECIATE IT.
9:47:22AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:47:23AM ALL RIGHT.
9:47:24AM MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE?
9:47:25AM >> SO MOVED.
9:47:26AM >> SECOND.
9:47:26AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR.
9:47:28AM ALL RIGHT.
9:47:29AM WE ARE ADJOURNED.
9:47:29AM THANK YOU.
