9:10:21AM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
9:10:23AM WE ARE SPEAKING ON ITEM NUMBER 60 WHICH HAS -- WHO WOULD

9:10:31AM AND HEAR FROM THE GRIFFIN FAMILY?

9:10:51AM MELANIE GRIFFIN.
9:10:54AM IF I MAY --
9:10:58AM MR. CHAIR.
9:10:59AM I HAVE THE GREAT PLEASURE OF INTRODUCING TODAY TWO PEOPLE
9:11:08AM WHO I THINK WE ALL KNOW BUT WE ALL KNOW THEM FOR THEIR
9:11:11AM INVOLVEMENT IN CIVIC MATTERS AND NOT NECESSARILY FOR THEIR
9:11:14AM WONDERFUL FAMILY LIFE.
9:11:15AM MIKE AND MELANIE GRIFFIN, WHO HAVE REALLY BEEN SO VERY
9:11:19AM INVOLVED IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR SO LONG.
9:11:21AM THEY ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING VERY CLOSE TO MY HEART
9:11:24AM WHICH IS ADOPTION AWARENESS.
9:11:26AM NOVEMBER, WE START TODAY, ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH.
9:11:31AM I'VE COME FROM A FAMILY PERSONALLY TOUCHED BY ADOPTION.
9:11:34AM OFTEN SAID AND SO TRUE THAT THERE IS NO GREATER ACT OF LOVE
9:11:37AM THAN TO GO THROUGH THE ADOPTION PROCESS.
9:11:39AM IT'S NOT ONLY THE IDEA OF AVAILING YOURSELF TO BEING A
9:11:42AM MOTHER OR FATHER, BUT ALSO THE ACTUAL PROCESS OF IT THAT WE
9:11:48AM WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE, WHICH IS PUTTING YOUR HEART ON
9:11:51AM THE LINE FOR SOMETHING THAT QUITE OFTEN MAY OR MAY NOT
9:11:53AM HAPPEN.
9:11:53AM THAT IS A GREAT ACT OF LOVE.
9:11:55AM I WANT TO INVITE THIS VERY SPECIAL COUPLE WHO ACTUALLY
9:11:58AM GRACED US HERE TODAY BY HAVING THEIR WONDERFUL SON MAVERICK
9:12:01AM TO COME AND SAY SOME WORDS ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT DAY.
9:12:05AM >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
9:12:06AM MIKE GRIFFIN, MELANIE GRIFFIN AND MAVERICK GRIFFIN.
9:12:09AM WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE.
9:12:11AM THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME FOR US.
9:12:13AM THIS TIME LAST YEAR, WE WERE JUST GOING THROUGH THE ADOPTION
9:12:16AM JOURNEY.
9:12:16AM THIS LITTLE, SLASH, BIG GUY IS CELEBRATING JUST OVER HIS
9:12:21AM 10-MONTH BIRTHDAY HERE.
9:12:23AM IT'S JUST GREAT THAT WE LIVE IN A COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS
9:12:27AM ADOPTION.
9:12:28AM WHAT WE LEARNED THROUGH OUR PROCESS, A LOT OF FAMILIES, A
9:12:33AM LOT OF BIRTH MOTHERS THAT STILL AREN'T AWARE OF THE ADOPTION
9:12:36AM JOURNEY AND THE ADOPTION PROCESS.
9:12:37AM WE JUST APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL AND THE CITY AND COUNCILMAN
9:12:41AM VIERA IN PARTICULAR FOR TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO LET THE
9:12:45AM COMMUNITY KNOW THERE ARE ADOPTIONS.
9:12:47AM WE'RE A FIRM BELIEVER THERE'S NO GREATER ACT OF LOVE THAN A
9:12:51AM WOMAN WHO DECIDES TO HAVE A CHILD BUT LOVES THE CHILD SO
9:12:54AM MUCH TO GIVE THE CHILD UP TO A FAMILY THAT IS UNABLE TO HAVE
9:12:59AM CHILDREN ON THEIR OWN.
9:13:01AM WE'VE BEEN BLESSED BY GOD AND THIS AMAZING BIRTH MOTHER WITH
9:13:03AM THIS HUNK OF LOVE HERE.
9:13:05AM MELANIE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE.
9:13:08AM >> WITH THAT, IN TERMS OF ADOPTION ADVOCACY, IN ADDITION TO
9:13:10AM HOW YOU USUALLY THINK OF IT, I THINK MAKING PEOPLE AWARE OF
9:13:14AM THAT ADOPTION.
9:13:15AM WE ON ME HAD TEN DAYS' NOTICE.
9:13:19AM THAT IS IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OUR ADOPTIVE PARENTS DID NOT
9:13:23AM KNOW ABOUT THE PRIVATE ADOPTION PROCESS AND HOW TO CONNECT
9:13:25AM WITH IT.
9:13:26AM THEY THOUGHT THEIR ONLY OPTION WAS TO GIVE THE BABY TO THE
9:13:30AM STATE.
9:13:30AM WITH THAT, VERY QUICKLY, THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS BEEN SO
9:13:36AM WELCOMING TO OUR SON AND TO OUR FAMILY, I JUST WANTED TO
9:13:39AM QUICKLY READ FROM THE END OF A BOOK SOME OF US HAVE HEARD
9:13:42AM OF, ON THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.
9:13:44AM THIS I THINK PERFECTLY DESCRIBES HOW TAMPA HAS WELCOMED OUR
9:13:47AM SON TO THE WORLD.
9:13:48AM WELCOME TO THE SPINNING WORLD, THE PEOPLE SAYING AS THEY
9:13:51AM WASH THEIR NEW TINY HANDS.
9:13:53AM WELCOME TO THE GREEN EARTH AS THEY WRAPPED YOUR WET SLIPPERY
9:13:57AM BODY.
9:13:57AM AS THEY HOLD YOU CLOSE THEY WHISPER INTO YOUR EAR, WE'RE SO
9:14:03AM GLAD YOU'VE COME.
9:14:04AM MAVERICK, WE'RE SO HAPPY YOU'VE COME TO THE CITY OF TAMPA
9:14:10AM AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY.
9:14:11AM [ APPLAUSE ]
9:14:23AM >> GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN.
9:14:25AM THE TAMPA CITY COUNCIL WELCOME PUBLIC COMMENT AT THIS TIME.
9:14:29AM 30 MINUTES HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE THIS MORNING FOR CITIZENS
9:14:31AM SPEAKING ABOUT MATTERS THAT ARE NOT SET FOR A PUBLIC

9:14:47AM READING CONSIDERATION ITEMS 2, 3, 4 ARE NOT SET FOR A PUBLIC
9:14:50AM HEARING.
9:14:50AM SO NOW WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO SPEAK.
9:14:54AM LIKEWISE, THOSE ITEMS LISTED UNDER STAFF REPORT, FOR
9:14:57AM INSTANCE, LET'S SAY ITEM 59, THAT IS ALSO NOT SET FOR A
9:15:01AM PUBLIC HEARING.
9:15:02AM SO PUBLIC COMMENT NOW WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO

9:15:13AM YOUR COMMENTS NOT DIRECTED PERSONALLY TO A COUNCIL MEMBER OR

9:15:20AM CITY COUNCIL APPRECIATES YOUR COOPERATION IN MAINTAINING
9:15:24AM ORDERLY CONDUCT AND PROPER DECORUM.
9:15:27AM THANK YOU.
9:15:32AM >> HI, GLOBAL SOVEREIGN, JOHNNY BERNARD BOOF, SOVEREIGN
9:15:40AM KING, I AM -- WE'RE APPROACHING HARVEST.
9:15:51AM I KEEP GOING BACK BETWEEN WHAT WE CALL THE ANCIENT
9:15:58AM SCRIPTURES, EXPLAINING THIS TO YOU ALL BECAUSE YOU DON'T
9:16:01AM UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS AND YAHWEH.
9:16:06AM JESUS IS THE SERVANT.
9:16:08AM YAHWEH IS THE CREATOR.
9:16:09AM WE NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE SO YOU UNDERSTAND
9:16:17AM WHAT YOU ARE CHOOSING.
9:16:18AM ONE CHRISTIAN FRIEND SAID DON'T ... WHY, AIN'T CHRISTIAN?
9:16:24AM I GOT TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU-ALL.
9:16:27AM WHEN I CALL YOU THE WORDWIDE GLOBAL FAMILY, THAT'S BECAUSE
9:16:31AM YOU'RE ALREADY THE WORLDWIDE GLOBAL FAMILY.
9:16:33AM YOUR GROUPS, YOUR POLITICAL GROUPS, YOU'RE STILL JUST ONE.
9:16:39AM YOU'RE STILL ONE GLOBAL FAMILY.
9:16:40AM YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN ONE GLOBAL FAMILY.
9:16:42AM WE'RE NOT MAKING YOU ONE GLOBAL FAMILY.
9:16:45AM WE'RE REMINDING YOU OF BEING ONE GLOBAL FAMILY.
9:16:47AM I ALSO CAME TO SECOND TRUMP WITH HIS DECISION ON IMMIGRATION
9:16:51AM THAT HE PUT IN THE NEWSPAPER YESTERDAY.
9:16:54AM YOU GUYS GOT TO UNDERSTAND, NORTH AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA,
9:16:59AM CENTRAL AMERICA.
9:17:02AM WE WANT OUR MIGRANTS TO BECOME FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
9:17:06AM NOT OVERTAKE US.
9:17:07AM WE AMERICANS ARE NOT GIVING UP OUR LANDS.
9:17:10AM WE WANT YOU TO COME AND BE FRIENDS AND FAMILY THE WAY THE
9:17:13AM BIBLE SAYS.
9:17:14AM THE UNITED STATES IS THE ONLY ONE THAT -- EVEN THOUGH THEIR
9:17:19AM HOLDERS TRY TO GET ON THEM ABOUT BEING RESCUERS INSTEAD OF
9:17:23AM BEING OCCUPIERS.
9:17:24AM PRETTY MUCH ALREADY DID IT.
9:17:29AM EUROPEAN AFRICAN UNION.
9:17:32AM EUROPE.
9:17:33AM HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO ENSLAVE THE WORLD?
9:17:35AM ABOLISHED BACK IN 1886 AND LINCOLN CAME OUT WITH
9:17:43AM EMANCIPATION.
9:17:44AM AND THEN PARIS ... THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN
9:17:49AM RIGHTS.
9:17:49AM YOU KNOW, ADOPTED ALL THAT INTO PERMANENT, TRUE LAW.
9:17:55AM POLICY.
9:17:56AM YOU AGREE THAT WHEN LAW CAME ON THE SCENE, YOU WOULD FOLLOW
9:18:00AM LAW, YOU WOULD OBEY LAW.
9:18:02AM THAT'S WHAT TRUMP WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU, YOU CANNOT
9:18:05AM BACK SCALE LAW AND POLICY CANNOT OVERRUN LAW.
9:18:10AM YOU AGREED UPON THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
9:18:13AM PEOPLE, DON'T GET INTO THE GROUPS IF THEY ARE CAUSING
9:18:19AM DISCRIMINATION AND HATE.
9:18:20AM LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, LOVE YOUR SISTER, LOVE YOUR BROTHER,
9:18:23AM LOVE YOUR FAMILIES.
9:18:24AM IF THESE GROUPS TELL YOU THAT YOU'VE GOT TO CUT SOMETHING
9:18:29AM OUT, THEY ARE WRONG.
9:18:31AM PRACTICE LOVE, NOT HATE.
9:18:33AM THANK YOU.
9:18:39AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
9:18:40AM MY NAME IS RITA MOCKETT.
9:18:43AM AND I AM HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THE COMMUNITY EFFORT THAT
9:18:47AM WE HAD LAST WEEK TO SUPPORT NAMI, NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON
9:18:53AM MENTAL ILLNESS.
9:18:54AM IT WAS A FIVE-MILE WALK, FUND-RAISER.
9:18:57AM WE THANK MR. VIERA FOR BEING THERE.
9:18:59AM THAT'S IMPORTANT.
9:19:00AM WHEN TAMPA COMES TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
9:19:03AM WE ARE A COMPASSIONATE CITY.
9:19:05AM WE HAVE TAKEN UP MANY CAUSES IN TAMPA.
9:19:08AM UNTREATED MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE FOR THE
9:19:12AM FAMILIES THAT IT AFFECTS BUT IT CAUSES A LOT OF OUR
9:19:19AM COMMUNITY TO BE VULNERABLE.
9:19:20AM WE HAVE SEEN AND WITNESSED ASSAULTS IN OUR SCHOOLS, IN OUR
9:19:24AM COMMUNITIES, INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED BY SOMEONE WHO
9:19:28AM IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE.
9:19:30AM WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
9:19:32AM WE NEED TO HAVE MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT REFORM IN TAMPA.
9:19:39AM MY SON WAS DIAGNOSED IN 2008 WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS.
9:19:44AM CONTRACTED BECAUSE HE HAD CONTRACTED SPINAL MENINGITIS AS AN
9:19:49AM INFANT.
9:19:49AM HE WAS BAKER ACTED 34 TIMES IN 11 YEARS.
9:19:53AM AT ONE POINT, A DOCTOR AT GRACEPOINT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO
9:19:58AM SAY, PLEASE KEEP HIM UNTIL HE IS STABLE, HE IS VERY
9:20:02AM AGGRESSIVE, WHICH IS NOT USUALLY THE CASE WITH MY SON.
9:20:07AM WITHOUT PROPERLY TREATMENT, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
9:20:10AM I COULDN'T TAKE HIM HOME BECAUSE HE WAS TOO SICK.
9:20:13AM I COULDN'T DEAL WITH IT.
9:20:15AM I COULDN'T GET THE RIGHT MEDICATIONS FOR HIM.
9:20:18AM THEY SAID, LISTEN, IF HE'S TOO MUCH, LET HIM LIVE ON THE
9:20:22AM STREET.
9:20:23AM I'M LIKE THAT'S MY SON.
9:20:24AM I CAN'T LET HIM LIVE ON THE STREET.
9:20:26AM AS HIS ILLNESS PROGRESSED, I COULD SEE HE WAS VERY
9:20:30AM AGGRESSIVE, VERY SUICIDAL.
9:20:34AM 6'3", 300 POUNDS.
9:20:36AM I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE DECISION FROM THE PEOPLE WHO
9:20:39AM WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PROVIDERS WERE SO IRRESPONSIBLE.
9:20:44AM I COULDN'T GET HIM HELP.
9:20:46AM I CALLED THE STATE ATTORNEY.
9:20:47AM I PLEADED WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY.
9:20:49AM I BELIEVE IT WAS DIVINE INTERVENTION THAT HELPED ME TO GET
9:20:53AM TO THAT STATE ATTORNEY WHO CAME TO A HOSPITAL TO HELP ME GET
9:20:58AM HIM BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL SAID WE DON'T SEND PEOPLE TO STATE.
9:21:02AM AND THE PROVIDER IN TAMPA SAID, HIS PROBLEMS ARE BEHAVIORAL.
9:21:05AM HE WENT INTO STATE IN 2011.
9:21:08AM HE DIDN'T COME OUT UNTIL 2016.
9:21:10AM THAT'S NOT BEHAVIORAL.
9:21:12AM IN 2016, HE WAS EXCITED THINKING HE COULD WORK AGAIN BECAUSE
9:21:17AM THAT WAS HIS DREAM.
9:21:19AM IF I COULD JUST FINISH BY SAYING THAT HE IS CURRENTLY LIVING
9:21:22AM IN AN APARTMENT THAT IS OVERRUN BY COCKROACHES.
9:21:26AM HE DOESN'T GET THE MEDICATION HE NEEDS.
9:21:29AM HE IS JUST AS SICK AS HE WAS OR ALMOST AS HE WENT TO STATE.
9:21:35AM AS LONG AS PROVIDERS ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR
9:21:39AM ACTIONS, AS LONG AS WE DO NOT HAVE MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES
9:21:41AM TO PUT THEM IN, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS IN OUR SOCIETY
9:21:47AM KEEPING OUR LOVED ONES SAFE AND IT'S NOT JUST OUR LOVED
9:21:50AM ONES.
9:21:50AM I'M ASKING YOU, TAMPA, TO PLEASE HELP WITH MENTAL HEALTH.
9:21:56AM >> MA'AM, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
9:21:58AM HAVE YOU CONTACTED YOUR STATE LEGISLATOR, YOUR COUNTY
9:22:02AM COMMISSION?
9:22:02AM I ASSUME THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NOT PROVIDE SOCIAL
9:22:07AM SERVICES, FOR THE MOST PART, HERE.
9:22:08AM AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU KNEW THAT AND IF YOUR GROUP
9:22:13AM KNOW THAT BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW YOU HAVE
9:22:15AM COME.
9:22:16AM >> RIGHT.
9:22:17AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I'M CURIOUS WHAT DIRECTION YOUR ORGANIZATION
9:22:19AM IS GOING IN ORDER TO GET SOME OF THE ANSWERS YOU'RE SEEKING?
9:22:23AM >> MY SON IS WITH THE FACT TEAM.
9:22:25AM THE FACT TEAM IS THE ONE STANDING IN THE WAY MANY TIMES.
9:22:27AM I HAVE GONE ALL THE WAY UP TO TALLAHASSEE WITH DCF.
9:22:31AM THEY SAID TO ME, CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.
9:22:33AM I'VE HAD THE DOCTORS AND FACT TEAM.
9:22:36AM I HESITATE TO SAY THIS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THE BACKGROUND
9:22:39AM --
9:22:45AM [NO ENCODER]
9:22:49AM [NO ENCODER]
9:23:02AM [NO ENCODER]
9:23:06AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: -- THAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS CUT BACK
9:23:08AM SIGNIFICANTLY ON THE AMOUNT OF DOLLARS THAT GO INTO MENTAL
9:23:10AM HEALTH TREATMENT.
9:23:11AM WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE SEE THE RESULTS OF IT ON OUR
9:23:13AM STREETS.
9:23:14AM >> RIGHT.
9:23:14AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: AND, AGAIN, THAT IS A FRUSTRATING THING FOR
9:23:17AM US IN ADDITION TO FRUSTRATING FOR YOU, MUCH MORE PERSONAL
9:23:20AM FOR YOU THAN FOR US.
9:23:21AM >> YES.
9:23:22AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THE REASON I'M ASKING THE QUESTION IS THAT
9:23:25AM YOU CAN COME HERE -- AND WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU
9:23:27AM SPEAKING ABOUT THIS -- BUT WHAT SPECIFIC THINGS ARE YOU
9:23:34AM DOING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS?
9:23:37AM >> WE SET UP AN ADVISORY GROUP THAT IS CONTACTING ALL OF OUR
9:23:40AM DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES ALL THE WAY UP TO TALLAHASSEE.
9:23:42AM THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
9:23:45AM WE HAVE LOBBYISTS UP THERE WHO ARE TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR
9:23:49AM US.
9:23:50AM I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, TOO, IT IS PERSONAL FOR ME BUT IT IS
9:23:53AM NOT JUST ME.
9:23:54AM THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IT COULD BE YOUR FAMILY NEXT.
9:23:59AM I WAS A TEACHER FOR 30 YEARS.
9:24:02AM I KNOW THAT THE SCHOOLS GO THROUGH A PROCESS NOW OF
9:24:05AM LOCKDOWN, WHICH IS TERRIBLE.
9:24:07AM BUT FOR AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET AND
9:24:11AM PROVIDERS LET THEM GO KNOWING FAIR WELL THEY ARE NOT HEALTHY
9:24:17AM ENOUGH TO BE ON THE STREET.
9:24:19AM I HAVE TRIED IN EVERY WAY I KNOW.
9:24:20AM I EVEN QUIT MY JOB AND WENT TO WORK FOR GRACEPOINT AND I
9:24:25AM WORKED FOR FIVE YEARS IN THAT SITUATION TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
9:24:27AM THE SYSTEM.
9:24:28AM IT'S NOT JUST MY SON, OBVIOUSLY.
9:24:29AM BUT IT IS EVERYONE'S FAMILY WHO'S AFFECTED.
9:24:32AM BECAUSE WHEN THESE DECISIONS ARE MADE AND THESE PEOPLE ARE
9:24:35AM ON THE STREET AND THEY ARE UNSTABLE, I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S
9:24:38AM VERY SERIOUS AS WE ALL KNOW.
9:24:39AM I'M JUST ASKING IF THERE'S ANY HELP.
9:24:42AM WE'RE JUST REACHING OUT TO WHOMEVER WE FEEL COULD BE A HELP.
9:24:45AM AND I APPRECIATE THE TIME.
9:24:47AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
9:24:48AM THANK YOU, MA'AM.
9:24:49AM I APPRECIATE IT.
9:24:50AM THANK YOU, CHAIR.
9:24:58AM >> CAN I JUST GO?
9:24:59AM GOOD MORNING.
9:25:00AM MY NAME IS KADEESHA MOORE, PROUD MEMBER OF NAMI AND NATIONAL
9:25:05AM SHATTERING SILENCE COALITION.
9:25:07AM I'M HERE TO URGE YOU TO CONSIDER MAKING OUR CITY A CITY OF
9:25:12AM COMPASSION FOR THE MENTALLY ILL.
9:25:14AM ONE OF THE WAYS TO DO THAT, THOUGH I UNDERSTAND YOU DON'T
9:25:17AM COMPLETELY CONTROL THE FINANCIAL PART BUT BY PROTECTING AND
9:25:21AM ADVOCATING AND INCREASING THE BUDGET FOR MENTAL HEALTH CARE
9:25:23AM AND SUPPORT IN OUR CITY.
9:25:25AM TAMPA SHOULD LEAD THE WAY WITH THIS, BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A
9:25:28AM STATE THAT IS CURRENTLY RANKED 50th IN THE COUNTRY IN
9:25:31AM TERMS OF PER CAPITA SPENDING ON MENTAL HEALTH.
9:25:34AM WE ARE RATED 44th IN THE COUNTRY IN TERMS OF ACCESS TO
9:25:38AM CARE FOR MENTAL HEALTH FOR PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
9:25:41AM IN OUR STATE, 62% OF THE ADULTS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS DO NOT
9:25:48AM RECEIVE TREATMENT.
9:25:49AM AND, FINALLY, WE LIVE IN A COUNTY MUCH LIKE 93% OF THE OTHER
9:25:53AM COUNTIES IN OUR STATE, WHERE OUR SUICIDE RATE IS MUCH HIGHER
9:25:57AM THAN OUR HOMICIDE RATE.
9:25:59AM WE INDEED HAVE A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
9:26:03AM THIS IS A CRISIS MY FAMILY KNOWS ALL TOO WELL.
9:26:05AM SO LET ME TELL YOU, MY NAME IS KADEESHA MORRIS, I AM THE
9:26:12AM MOTHER OF MAKEES.
9:26:14AM IF YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE HIS NAME, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE
9:26:18AM PREVENTABLE TRAGEDY INVOLVING MY SON.
9:26:20AM FIRST, LET ME TELL YOU, WE HAVE SPENT OVER A DECADE TRYING
9:26:23AM TO GET HELP FOR OUR SON, AND THERE WAS NO HELP TO BE FOUND.
9:26:27AM WHAT'S EVEN WORSE IS OUR SON TRIED TO GET HELP FOR HIMSELF
9:26:31AM BY GOING AND TAKING HIMSELF TO A POLICE STATION TO BE BAKER
9:26:35AM ACTED AND HE WAS.
9:26:36AM BUT DUE TO FUNDING SHORTAGES, HE WAS RELEASED FROM
9:26:39AM GRACEPOINT BEFORE HE WAS STABLE.
9:26:42AM HE LEFT THE HOSPITAL IN THE SAME PSYCHOTIC STATE IN WHICH HE
9:26:47AM ENTERED THE HOSPITAL.
9:26:48AM THIS WAS DESPITE OUR PLEAS FOR THEM TO KEEP HIM THERE AND
9:26:52AM DESPITE OUR PLEAS, DESPITE THE FACT HE WASN'T STABLE, HE WAS
9:26:56AM RELEASED.
9:26:57AM AND WITHIN DAYS OF BEING RELEASED A HORRIFIC TRAGEDY
9:27:00AM OCCURRED.
9:27:00AM A HORRIFIC TRAGEDY OCCURRED BECAUSE OF LACK OF CARE AND
9:27:05AM TREATMENT FOR SOMEBODY WHO DESPERATELY NEEDED AND SOUGHT IT
9:27:09AM OUT HIMSELF.
9:27:09AM WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF LEAVING THE HOSPITAL ON A SUNDAY
9:27:12AM AFTERNOON, OUR SON DROVE A CAR INTO A FAMILY WHO WAS OUT
9:27:15AM BIKE RIDING.
9:27:17AM A MAN, A FATHER WHO WAS OUT WITH HIS TWO YOUNG SONS LOST HIS
9:27:23AM LIFE.
9:27:23AM THIS IS A MAN AND A FAMILY MY SON DIDN'T EVEN KNOW BUT WHO
9:27:32AM BECAME THE VICTIMS OF FAILING TO PROVIDE PROPER MENTAL
9:27:34AM HEALTH.
9:27:35AM I WANT US TO BECOME A CITY OF COMPASSION TO PEOPLE WITH
9:27:39AM MENTAL ILLNESS CAN GET THE CARE THEY DESPERATELY NEED AND
9:27:42AM STRUGGLE TO FIND.
9:27:43AM I WANT US TO BE A CITY OF COMPASSION SO WE CAN OPEN UP THE
9:27:46AM DIALOGUE ABOUT CONVERSATIONS TO HELP INCREASE MENTAL HEALTH
9:27:49AM FUNDING AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY
9:27:52AM NEED IT.
9:27:53AM WE NEED TO DO THIS.
9:27:54AM OUR CITY NEEDS TO DO THIS.
9:27:56AM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
9:27:57AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MA'AM, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
9:28:00AM HAS YOUR GROUP MET WITH ANY OF THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
9:28:03AM COMMISSIONERS?
9:28:04AM >> THEY ARE NEXT ON OUR AGENDA.
9:28:05AM NAMI HAS BEEN MEETING WITH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, STATE
9:28:08AM OFFICIALS --
9:28:09AM >>FRANK REDDICK: PARTICULARLY HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY COMMISSION
9:28:11AM FOR THIS COUNTY BECAUSE THEY FUND MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS.
9:28:14AM >> THAT IS OUR NEXT STOP, ABSOLUTELY.
9:28:16AM >>FRANK REDDICK: YOU NEED TO DO IT SOON BECAUSE THEY FUND
9:28:20AM MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
9:28:21AM THEY PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THOSE PROGRAMS.
9:28:24AM I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU REACH OUT TO THE HILLSBOROUGH
9:28:27AM COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
9:28:28AM THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU NEED TO START, NUMBER ONE.
9:28:32AM >> ABSOLUTELY.
9:28:32AM BUT WE KNOW THAT WITH YOUR SUPPORT, YOU ALSO MEET WITH THOSE
9:28:37AM COMMISSIONERS, ADVOCATE ON OUR BEHALF, TOO.
9:28:39AM THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE HERE.
9:28:40AM >>FRANK REDDICK: YOU NEED TO INITIATE THE PROCESS.
9:28:44AM >> I ABSOLUTELY WILL.
9:28:45AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE CAN SEND A LETTER OF SUPPORT BUT YOU
9:28:49AM NEED TO INITIATE THE PROCESS.
9:28:50AM BECAUSE THEY NEED TO HAVE THE ONE-ON-ONE CONTACT AND SHARE
9:28:54AM YOUR EXPERIENCE AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH AND WHAT YOU
9:28:57AM WENT THROUGH.
9:28:58AM I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU MEET WITH THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
9:29:02AM THE BUDGET PROCESS JUST STARTED OCTOBER 1.
9:29:08AM SO THEY STILL HAVE MONEY IN THE BUDGET.
9:29:10AM >> FANTASTIC.
9:29:11AM THAT IS GREAT AND HELPFUL INFORMATION.
9:29:13AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:29:13AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE HAVE TO ELIMINATE
9:29:17AM THE STIGMA OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND WHATNOT, BECAUSE A LOT OF
9:29:21AM PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING.
9:29:22AM AS THE OTHER GENTLEMAN WAS HERE LAST THURSDAY SPEAKING, A
9:29:27AM YOUNG MAN, I REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS BORN 30 YEARS AGO, LEFT
9:29:32AM HIS HOME ON FOOT LAST THURSDAY.
9:29:35AM WENT TO A HARDWARE STORE, BOUGHT ROPE AND HUNG HIMSELF.
9:29:41AM WONDERFUL FAMILY.
9:29:42AM IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES, IF YOU MEET THEM YOU WOULD
9:29:45AM THINK PERFECT.
9:29:46AM EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.
9:29:47AM BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SOMEBODY IS STRUGGLING WITH INSIDE.
9:29:52AM THE PARENTS TRIED EVERYTHING.
9:29:53AM THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH OUT THERE.
9:29:57AM OF COURSE, THE END SITUATION, WE SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND A
9:30:00AM 30-YEAR-OLD MAN IS DEAD AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
9:30:05AM I'VE KNOWN THIS PERSON MY ENTIRE LIFE.
9:30:08AM THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNTRY IN GENERAL, NOT JUST THE
9:30:11AM CITY AND COUNTY, WE HAVE NEVER MADE THE INVESTMENT IN MENTAL
9:30:14AM HEALTH.
9:30:14AM PEOPLE SUFFER.
9:30:17AM PEOPLE NEED SOMEONE TO GO TO.
9:30:24AM GO TO THE RIGHT PLACES TO FIND SOLUTIONS SO THEY CAN LIVE
9:30:27AM THEIR LIFE AND CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD AND KNOW THERE'S
9:30:30AM HOPE.
9:30:31AM YOU CAN NEVER LOSE HOPE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DO.
9:30:33AM THEY MAKE THESE DECISIONS.
9:30:34AM WE CAN'T JUDGE THEM BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT DEMONS THEY
9:30:39AM HAVE INSIDE.
9:30:40AM AS WE ALREADY STATED, REACH OUT TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION.
9:30:43AM I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO PERSONALLY REACH OUT TO SOME OF THE
9:30:47AM COMMISSIONERS AND REALLY MAKE THIS A PRIORITY BECAUSE WE
9:30:51AM CAN'T CONTINUE WASTING TIME ON THIS.
9:30:54AM IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.
9:30:55AM >> THANK YOU.
9:30:56AM THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE ARE HERE.
9:30:57AM WE WANT YOU TO BE AWARE AND HELP US ADVOCATE.
9:30:59AM WE WILL ABSOLUTELY GO TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' OFFICE.
9:31:03AM WE HAD A MEETING TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE ENTITIES WITH WHOM
9:31:05AM WE'LL INTERACT.
9:31:07AM SO THANK YOU.
9:31:07AM WE ASK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT, YOUR ADVOCACY, FOR YOU
9:31:13AM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR DILEMMA IS.
9:31:16AM THE TRUTH IS, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES JUST LIKE OURS
9:31:18AM AND FAMILIES WHO ARE PRAYING THAT THEY DON'T BECOME THE
9:31:23AM NEXUS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY ARE ONE PSYCHOTIC BREAK AWAY
9:31:28AM FROM BECOMING THE NEXUS.
9:31:30AM HERE IS MY CAUTIONARY TALE TO EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN WHICH
9:31:33AM IS, UNTIL WE FIX THIS MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS, EVERYONE IS AT
9:31:37AM RISK AND EVERYONE IS JUST ONE PSYCHOTIC BREAK AWAY FROM
9:31:41AM BECOMING THE NEXT PEDRO AGUERREBERRY.
9:31:47AM THAT WAS THE PERSON IN THIS SITUATION INVOLVING MY SON.
9:31:49AM IT BREAKS OUR HEARTS.
9:31:51AM BUT IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED, AND WE
9:31:52AM ALL HAVE A STAKE IN THIS.
9:32:00AM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS AND GOD REST HIS
9:32:04AM SOUL, THAT WE CAN HELP YOU REACH OUT TO THE COMMISSIONERS.
9:32:06AM ONE IN PARTICULAR I WOULD SUGGEST IS COMMISSIONER SANDY
9:32:09AM MURMAN.
9:32:09AM SHE'S HAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH HER FAMILY ON THE ISSUE
9:32:12AM WHICH SHE'S VERY PUBLIC ABOUT.
9:32:14AM I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT, OBVIOUSLY.
9:32:16AM LIKE LAST WEEK, I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING OUT.
9:32:19AM IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS SO
9:32:22AM PERSONAL AND ACUTELY PAINFUL AND TO COME OUT IN PUBLIC.
9:32:28AM MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU.
9:32:30AM >> THANK YOU.
9:32:30AM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
9:32:31AM >>FRANK REDDICK: THANK YOU.

9:32:49AM AND THE CITY COUNCIL ISN'T DESIGNED TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE
9:32:55AM INHABITANTS OF THIS CITY.
9:32:57AM ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOTHING.
9:32:59AM HERE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND THE CITY
9:33:04AM COUNCIL TELL THEM, WE'RE NOT -- WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT,

9:34:11AM AND PUSH US OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
9:34:11AM YOU ALL HAVE A BUNCH OF CONVERSATIONS FOR A BUNCH OF OTHER
9:34:15AM NONSENSE.
9:34:15AM ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NONSENSE.
9:34:21AM BUT YOU HAVE NO CONVERSATION FOR PEOPLE, REAL PEOPLE.

9:35:15AM MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS.
9:35:16AM BE A GOOD CITIZEN, BE A PRODUCTIVE CITIZEN OF SOCIETY, AND

9:35:40AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC
9:35:45AM COMMENT?
9:35:51AM >> SOME ACTS ARE VERY HARD TO FOLLOW BUT I'LL TRY.
9:35:55AM MY NAME IS RICK FERNANDEZ, 2906 NORTH ELMORE, TAMPA HEIGHTS,
9:36:01AM PRESIDENT OF THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
9:36:02AM I AM HERE TO SPEAK ON ONE AGENDA ITEM, AND THEN I HAVE A
9:36:09AM COUPLE OF COLLATERAL ISSUES THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS
9:36:11AM WITH YOU.
9:36:12AM THE AGENDA ITEM IS 59.
9:36:13AM THAT IS THE FENCE SETBACK GUIDELINES FOR TAMPA HEIGHTS.
9:36:16AM IT SEEMS A RATHER PLEBEIAN TOPIC CONSIDERING THE THINGS
9:36:22AM WE'VE HEARD ABOUT HERE THIS MORNING.
9:36:24AM I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT THESE SETBACK GUIDELINES ARE
9:36:29AM A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT FOR US.
9:36:32AM OUR BOARD, OUR HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE, AND OUR
9:36:35AM GENERAL MEMBERSHIP HAVE ALL DISCUSSED THIS.
9:36:39AM WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH CITY STAFF IN PARTICULAR WITH
9:36:42AM DENNIS FERNANDEZ WHO HAS BEEN GREAT ABOUT STEPPING UP AND
9:36:46AM COLLABORATING WITH US.
9:36:48AM I KNOW WE'RE AT A FAIRLY EARLY STAGE IN THE PROCESS AS FAR
9:36:53AM AS ANALYZING THESE GUIDELINES.
9:36:56AM I KNOW PROBABLY A PERIOD OF WEEKS OR MONTHS GOING FORWARD
9:37:00AM BEFORE THIS IS RESOLVED.
9:37:02AM BUT I JUST WANTED TO PUT A HUMAN FACE TO THE TOPIC, TO THE
9:37:07AM AGENDA ITEM FROM THE COMMUNITY TO LET YOU KNOW THIS IS
9:37:12AM IMPORTANT.
9:37:13AM YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT IT GOING FORWARD DURING WORKSHOPS AND
9:37:15AM OTHERWISE.
9:37:15AM NOW, TO SHIFT GEARS, I AM COMING TO THE END OF MY TERM AS
9:37:20AM PRESIDENT OF THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION AFTER THREE YEARS.
9:37:22AM I SUSPECT I'LL STILL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO COME HERE FOR
9:37:26AM VARIOUS REASONS, BUT I WANTED TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY JUST TO
9:37:31AM THANK YOU.
9:37:31AM FRANKLY, I'M GOING TO MISS SEEING SOME OF YOUR FACES BECAUSE
9:37:35AM I KNOW A FEW OF YOU ARE MOVING ON TO DO OTHER THINGS.
9:37:39AM BUT IT'S BEEN A VERY INTERESTING THREE-YEAR PERIOD OF TIME.
9:37:41AM I'VE LEARNED A LOT.
9:37:43AM TOGETHER, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN
9:37:46AM TAMPA HEIGHTS THAT HAVE BEEN VERY POSITIVE.
9:37:47AM AND IN LARGE PART AND SMALL PART, DUE TO WHAT SOME OF YOU
9:37:51AM HAVE DONE EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR IN THE AGGREGATE, FIRST OF
9:37:54AM ALL, I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
9:37:57AM REGARDING LEE ELEMENTARY.
9:37:58AM YOU MAY RECALL WE CAME HERE AND WE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THAT
9:38:02AM SOME MONTHS AGO.
9:38:04AM IT'S REALLY NOT IN YOUR WHEEL HOUSE BUT YOU ENGAGED AND
9:38:07AM WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, WE'VE GOTTEN DETERMINATION FROM THE
9:38:11AM INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THAT STRUCTURE IS GOING TO BE REBUILT
9:38:13AM AS A HISTORIC STRUCTURE AND AS A SCHOOL ON COLUMBUS.
9:38:17AM NOW, THAT'S A BIG DEAL FOR US.
9:38:19AM IT'S ICONIC.
9:38:20AM I THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA AND YOU ALL
9:38:23AM WERE INVOLVED AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.
9:38:24AM ALSO 2015 NORTH CENTRAL, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT RECALL THAT.
9:38:32AM THIS IS THE SARA ROMEO, TAMPA CROSSROADS PROPERTY ACROSS
9:38:35AM FROM THE SANCTUARY IN TAMPA HEIGHTS WHERE TAMPA CROSSROADS
9:38:39AM WANTED TO PUT IN AN ACLF.
9:38:42AM THAT WAS A RATHER CONTENTIOUS BATTLE THAT WENT ON HERE AT
9:38:45AM THIS CHAMBER.
9:38:46AM WE RECENTLY LEARNED THAT TAMPA CROSSROADS HAD SOLD THE
9:38:50AM PROPERTY AND NOW IT WILL BE CONVERTED TO CONDOMINIUMS,
9:38:53AM MICROUNITS GOING FORWARD AND I THINK WILL BE A POSITIVE
9:38:56AM ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY, TO THAT PARTICULAR POCKET OF THE
9:39:00AM NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:39:00AM I'M OUT OF TIME.
9:39:02AM I HAD A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR.
9:39:05AM I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR US OVER THE LAST THREE
9:39:08AM YEARS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL OF YOU IN ONE
9:39:11AM CONTEXT OR ANOTHER GOING FORWARD.
9:39:13AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE'LL ALLOW YOU TO FINISH THE THANK YOUS.
9:39:16AM [ LAUGHTER ]
9:39:20AM >> I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM WITH THAT,
9:39:23AM COUNCILMAN.
9:39:24AM I APPRECIATE IT.
9:39:25AM YOU KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN VERY ACTIVE, VERY INVOLVED FOR A
9:39:29AM LONG TIME NOW WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
9:39:33AM AND THE TBX PROJECT.
9:39:35AM A SMALL PART OF THAT HAD TO DO WITH PROPERTIES OWNED BY THE
9:39:39AM FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WITHIN THE HISTORIC
9:39:41AM DISTRICTS, WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
9:39:43AM AND OF PARTICULAR CONCERN TO ME, THE AREAS WITHIN THE
9:39:47AM CONFINES OF TAMPA HEIGHTS.
9:39:50AM THERE ARE THREE HISTORIC PROPERTIES WITHIN TAMPA HEIGHTS
9:39:53AM THAT ARE F.D.O.T. OWNED THAT ARE WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND
9:39:57AM POTENTIALLY TO BE DESTROYED.
9:39:59AM WE'VE BEEN IN COLLABORATION WITH F.D.O.T. NOW FOR A PERIOD
9:40:03AM OF TIME ABOUT HAVING THOSE PROPERTIES RETURNED TO INVENTORY
9:40:06AM TO GET THEM REHABBED AND HAVE PEOPLE BUY THEM AND LIVE IN
9:40:11AM THEM AGAIN.
9:40:11AM THAT PROCESS HAS NOW TAKEN ROOT.
9:40:14AM ONE OF THOSE PROPERTIES IS AT 604 EAST FRANCES, DIRECTLY
9:40:17AM ACROSS FROM OUR COMMUNITY GARDEN.
9:40:19AM I SUSPECT MOST, IF NOT ALL OF YOU, HAVE BEEN THERE TO THE
9:40:22AM GARDEN.
9:40:23AM MAY NOT REMEMBER THE PARTICULAR STRUCTURE.
9:40:26AM BUT IT'S AN EARLY 1900s HOME.
9:40:28AM HISTORIC CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURE.
9:40:32AM IT HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY A PRIVATE CITIZEN.
9:40:35AM IT'S GOING TO BE MOVED TO THE LOT RIGHT NEXT DOOR AND
9:40:37AM REHABBED.
9:40:38AM IT WILL BE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY NOW AGAIN AFTER TWO YEARS
9:40:41AM OF BEING BOARDED UP AND BEING A LOCATION FOR DRUG DEALS AND
9:40:45AM PROSTITUTION FOR THE MOST PART FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
9:40:48AM THERE ARE TWO MORE PROPERTIES LIKE THAT THAT HOPEFULLY WILL
9:40:50AM MOVE BACK INTO THE INVENTORY STREAM WITHIN THE COURSE OF THE
9:40:54AM NEXT YEAR.
9:40:55AM AND HOPEFULLY EVENTUALLY WILL COME TO FINAL RESOLUTION ON
9:40:58AM WHAT F.D.O.T. IS GOING TO DO WITH ITS FOOTPRINT.
9:41:02AM YOU ALL HAVE BEEN HUGE IN THAT WHOLE DISCUSSION.
9:41:05AM AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK YOU.
9:41:06AM THIS IS ABOUT SURVIVAL OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD
9:41:09AM AS FAR AS WE'RE CONCERNED, AND THIS IS A BIG STEP FORWARD.
9:41:12AM WITH THAT SAID, THANK YOU AGAIN VERY MUCH.
9:41:15AM GODSPEED TO ALL OF YOU.
9:41:17AM >>FRANK REDDICK: THANK YOU.
9:41:19AM ANYONE ELSE?
9:41:19AM ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENT?
9:41:24AM SEEING NONE, ARE THERE ANY REQUESTS BY THE PUBLIC FOR THE
9:41:27AM RECONSIDERATION OF LEGISLATIVE MATTERS?
9:41:29AM OKAY.

9:43:33AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM MR. SUAREZ.
9:43:37AM WE HAVE A SECOND BY MR. MANISCALCO.
9:43:40AM ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.
9:43:41AM OPPOSED?

9:43:55AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
9:43:56AM ITEM NUMBER 3.
9:43:57AM >>KRISTIN MORA: ITEM NUMBER 3.
9:43:59AM KRISTIN MORA, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
9:44:01AM THIS DOES HAVE THE CHANGES THAT WE DISCUSSED WHEN YOU
9:44:04AM TRANSMITTED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
9:44:06AM I'M GOING TO GO OVER THOSE CHANGES AND ONE OTHER MADE BY THE
9:44:10AM LEGAL DEPARTMENT VERY QUICKLY.
9:44:11AM THE HIGHLIGHT IN YELLOW YOU WILL SEE ARE THE CHANGES THAT
9:44:21AM WERE MADE THAT WE DISCUSSED AS FAR AS RECORDING REQUIREMENTS
9:44:27AM WHEN YOU TRANSMITTED IT ON SEPTEMBER 6th TO THE PLANNING
9:44:30AM COMMISSION.
9:44:30AM AS DISCUSSED AT THAT MEETING, WITH REGARD TO THE TRANSFER OF
9:44:39AM MONIES BETWEEN FUNDS, WE HAVE ADDED THE ABILITY TO TRANSFER
9:44:42AM FUNDS CAUSED BY A NATURAL DISASTER DUE TO LOSS OF CANOPY BY
9:44:48AM NATURAL DISASTER AS WELL AS LOSS OF CANOPY CAUSED BY OR
9:44:51AM IMMEDIATELY ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF A NATURAL
9:44:54AM OCCURRENCE.
9:44:55AM IF THERE IS AN OUTBREAK OF SOME TYPE OF DISEASE WE CAN
9:44:57AM TRANSFER MONIES TO INOCULATE TREES OR OTHERWISE PROTECT THE
9:45:02AM TREE CANOPY.
9:45:03AM THERE WAS A CLARIFICATION MADE BY THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT THAT
9:45:06AM THIS WOULD BE A REQUEST OF THE DEPARTMENT WHERE THEY WOULD
9:45:08AM IDENTIFY A LOSS OF CANOPY OR POTENTIAL LOSS OF CANOPY,
9:45:13AM BRINGING IT TO CITY COUNCIL AND YOU WOULD APPROVE THE
9:45:15AM TRANSFER OF FUNDS.
9:45:16AM ALSO ADDED THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE DISCUSSED AT
9:45:19AM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
9:45:22AM WE HAVE IN HERE A TRACK AND REPORTING SYSTEM THAT WILL TRACK
9:45:25AM THE FUNDS THAT ARE SPENT AND THEN HOW THOSE -- THE FUNDS
9:45:30AM THAT ARE RECEIVED AND THEN HOW THOSE FUNDS ARE SPENT AND
9:45:32AM WHERE ON BOTH OF THOSE SITES.
9:45:36AM I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS.
9:45:39AM THIS IS FIRST READING.
9:45:40AM YOU DON'T TYPICALLY TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT BUT YOU CERTAINLY
9:45:43AM COULD AT THE DISCRETION OF COUNCIL.
9:45:45AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
9:45:46AM ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
9:45:47AM ALL RIGHT.
9:45:49AM MR. MANISCALCO, READ --

9:47:16AM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
9:47:17AM WE GO TO ITEM NUMBER 4.
9:47:23AM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
9:47:25AM THIS IS ANOTHER ORDINANCE FOR FIRST READING.
9:47:27AM THIS ORDINANCE MAKES REVISIONS TO CHAPTER 16, SPECIFICALLY
9:47:30AM SECTION 16-91, LIST OF DEDICATED PARKS.
9:47:33AM I'M AVAILABLE IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.
9:47:35AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
9:47:39AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WHAT EXACTLY DOES THIS DO, MS. KERT?
9:47:42AM >>REBECCA KERT: THIS AMENDS A LIST OF DEDICATED PARKS --
9:47:45AM I'LL DO IT BRIEFLY.
9:47:48AM REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
9:47:50AM IT REMOVES A PARK.
9:47:53AM IT ADDS SOME ADDITIONAL PARKS THAT WEREN'T PREVIOUSLY THERE
9:47:57AM AND UPDATES SOME ADDRESSES.
9:47:59AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WHAT DOES THAT DO IN TERMS OF HOW A PARK IS
9:48:04AM THEN ABLE TO BE USED OR NOT USED IN THE FUTURE?
9:48:08AM DOES THIS DESIGNATION CHANGE ANY OF THAT?
9:48:10AM >>REBECCA KERT: NO.
9:48:10AM THIS -- IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE USE OF THE PARKS OR SPECIFY
9:48:14AM THE USE OF PARKS.
9:48:15AM IT GOES TO THE LIST OF DEDICATED PARKS WHICH THEN BY
9:48:17AM ORDINANCE SPEAKS TO THE SALE OF THAT PROPERTY.
9:48:21AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: BUT THIS IS NOT REMOVING ANY DEDICATED PARKS.
9:48:24AM IT'S JUST CHANGE -- SOME HAVE CHANGED NAMES.
9:48:26AM AM I CORRECT ABOUT THAT?
9:48:27AM >>REBECCA KERT: I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO MR. GOERS IN
9:48:31AM A SECOND, BUT ONE OF THE PARKS IS BEING REMOVED BUT ANOTHER
9:48:33AM PARK IS BEING ADDED IN ITS PLACE.
9:48:39AM >> RANDY GOERS, PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN DIVISION.
9:48:43AM THIS IS THE MAP OF THE AFFECTED PARKS FOR THE ORDINANCE.
9:48:47AM THE PURPOSE OF THE ORDINANCE IS TO CONTINUE THE
9:48:50AM IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ENVISION TAMPA CITY CENTER PLAN AND
9:48:52AM WEST RIVER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE IDEA MAKING THE RIVER THE
9:48:56AM CENTER OF THE CITY AND FACILITY, PEDESTRIAN AND
9:49:01AM REDEVELOPMENT.
9:49:02AM THIS IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF ALL THE CHANGES.
9:49:05AM THE FIRST GROUP OF CHANGES ARE NAME CHANGES.
9:49:07AM I THINK WHEN I MET WITH MANY OF YOU I MIGHT HAVE GAVE YOU
9:49:10AM THE OPINION THAT WE'RE CHANGING THE NAME OF PARKS.
9:49:12AM WE'RE REALLY NOT CHANGING THE NAME OF THE PARKS.
9:49:15AM WE'RE CHANGING THE ORDINANCE TO REFLECT THE NAME OF THE
9:49:17AM PARKS ALREADY THERE.
9:49:18AM ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT NAME CHANGES, THE PARKS, THOSE ARE
9:49:21AM ALREADY ON THE NAMES OF THE PARKS.
9:49:23AM JUST UPDATING THE ORDINANCE TO REFLECT THE NAMES.
9:49:26AM THERE WERE SOME MISSING PARKS OR NAMES OF PARKS NOT ON THE
9:49:29AM LIST.
9:49:30AM WE'RE ADDING THOSE.
9:49:33AM SOME NEW PARKS.
9:49:34AM THIS IS WHAT REBECCA WAS MENTIONING ABOUT NEW PARKS IN THE
9:49:37AM WEST RIVER AREA, THE BLAKE TRAIL IS HERE.
9:49:40AM THE WEST RIVER PARK IS HERE.
9:49:41AM THIS IS LAND THAT WE -- IT WAS CONVEYED BY THE SCHOOL
9:49:46AM DISTRICT LAST YEAR.
9:49:47AM IT WAS NOT OWNED BY THE CITY.
9:49:48AM THE CITY NOW OWNS THAT LAND.
9:49:50AM IT'S ABOUT 5.8 ACRES THAT WE'VE ADDED TO THE -- TO OUR
9:49:55AM INVENTORY.
9:49:55AM WHAT WAS REMOVED FROM THE LIST ARE A COUPLE OF PARKS.
9:50:00AM ONE OF THEM IS DOWNTOWN RIVER GREEN, BASICALLY THREE PARKS
9:50:06AM -- 1995, WE BOUGHT THE LAND.
9:50:09AM WE CALLED IT RIBBON OF GREEN.
9:50:11AM THERE ARE NOW THREE PARKS THERE.
9:50:13AM JOSEPH RYE PARK, USF PARK AND MacDILL PARK.
9:50:16AM THERE'S NO NEED FOR THE RIBBON OF GREEN.
9:50:19AM MARTIN LUTHER KING POOL IS NOW PART OF THE MARTIN LUTHER
9:50:21AM KING RECREATION COMPLEX.
9:50:22AM THE ONE PARK THAT IS COMING OFF IS THE YELLOW JACKETS PARK
9:50:26AM IN WEST RIVER, WHICH IS IN WEST RIVER.
9:50:31AM IT'S THE -- ABOUT 5.1 ACRES, SO THE 5.8 ACRES THAT WE
9:50:37AM RECEIVED FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SORT OF BALANCES OUT FOR
9:50:40AM THE AMOUNT OF LAND THAT WE'RE REMOVING FROM THE LIST.
9:50:43AM THE LITTLE LEAGUE WILL BE PLAYING CALVIN TAYLOR PARK.
9:50:48AM THE PARKS DEPARTMENT IS NEARLY COMPLETE WITH THEIR
9:50:51AM IMPROVEMENTS GETTING THEM READY TO PLAY IN THE BEGINNING OF
9:50:54AM THE NOVEMBER SEASON, BEGIN RECRUITING.
9:50:58AM IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I CAN ANSWER THOSE.
9:51:03AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: JUST FOR CLARITY, ARE WE LOSING ANY
9:51:07AM NUMBER OF PARKS?
9:51:08AM ARE WE LOSING ONE BECAUSE ONE WENT TO AN EXISTING PARK?
9:51:13AM >>RANDY GOERS: TOTAL ACREAGE-WISE -- WE'RE GAINING ONE PARK
9:51:18AM AND REMOVING ONE OTHER PARK.
9:51:20AM SO NUMBER OF PARKS ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO STAY THE SAME.
9:51:24AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M QUESTIONING MYSELF.
9:51:26AM NOT YOU.
9:51:27AM MYSELF.
9:51:27AM COUNCIL WAY BACK, COUNCIL BACK SOME COUNCIL YEARS IN THE
9:51:31AM BACK, I THOUGHT COUNCIL HAD PASSED AN ORDINANCE THAT YOU
9:51:33AM COULD NOT REMOVE A PARK UNLESS IT WAS A PUBLIC VOTE.
9:51:37AM >>RANDY GOERS: REBECCA CAN ANSWER THAT.
9:51:40AM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
9:51:42AM I BELIEVE BACK IN 1985 THAT THE ORDINANCE FIRST WENT INTO
9:51:46AM EFFECT.
9:51:46AM I WASN'T HERE AT THE TIME, BUT IT HAS BEEN AMENDED SEVERAL
9:51:49AM TIMES OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE IT WAS AN ORDINANCE.
9:51:51AM IT WENT INTO EFFECT A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER ST. PETE PUT THE
9:51:55AM REFERENDUM FOR THEIR WATERFRONT PARK IN THEIR CHARTER.
9:51:58AM AND THEN THE CHARTER CAN'T BE AMENDED WITHOUT A VOTE.
9:52:01AM BUT ANY ORDINANCE THAT MAKES THAT REQUIREMENT CAN BE AMENDED
9:52:04AM AT ANY TIME AS ANY ORDINANCE.
9:52:06AM YOU ARE CORRECT THAT THAT IS IN PLACE.
9:52:08AM THE CITY OF TAMPA CHOSE TO DO IT BY ORDINANCE.
9:52:11AM AND IT'S BEEN AMENDED A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE 1985.
9:52:17AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I DON'T RECALL IT THAT WAY, BUT I
9:52:19AM UNDERSTAND.
9:52:19AM >>REBECCA KERT: I'M HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU BETWEEN FIRST AND
9:52:22AM SECOND READING.
9:52:24AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: AMENDING BY ORDINANCE, BUT IT STILL HAS THE
9:52:28AM REQUIREMENT THAT THERE IS A REFERENDUM IN ORDER TO REMOVE A
9:52:31AM PARK.
9:52:31AM THAT HAS NOT BEEN AMENDED OR CHANGED.
9:52:33AM I THINK TO MR. MIRANDA'S POINT, THAT'S STILL THE SAME.
9:52:38AM I THINK THAT THE QUESTION IS BASED ON WHAT HAS BEEN SAID TO
9:52:41AM US ARE WE ACTUALLY REMOVING A PARK WITHOUT GOING THROUGH
9:52:44AM THAT PROCESS, A DESIGNATED PARK?
9:52:47AM >>REBECCA KERT: YOU ARE AMENDING THE LIST OF A DEDICATED
9:52:49AM PARK.
9:52:50AM THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
9:52:53AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I'M ASKING HIS QUESTION IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
9:52:56AM IT IS THE SAME QUESTION, WHICH IS, ARE WE REMOVING A PARK?
9:52:59AM IF THERE IS A NET, WE'RE REMOVING IT, WE'RE REMOVING
9:53:04AM SOMETHING.
9:53:05AM OBVIOUSLY, THE YELLOW JACKETS ARE MOVING.
9:53:08AM THE QUESTION IS, IS THAT A DEDICATED PARK?
9:53:11AM ARE WE FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE PROPERLY IN ORDER TO GO
9:53:13AM FORWARD ON IT?
9:53:14AM THAT'S THE QUESTION.
9:53:14AM >>REBECCA KERT: YOU ARE FOLLOWING -- LET ME ANSWER THE
9:53:19AM QUESTION AND YOU CAN JUMP IN FROM THE POLICY STANDPOINT.
9:53:21AM BUT FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, YOU ARE COMPLETELY FOLLOWING
9:53:25AM THE LEGAL CONSTRAINTS OF YOUR ORDINANCES.
9:53:29AM THIS IS COMPLETELY IN THE LEGAL CONSTRAINTS.
9:53:32AM WHETHER OR NOT YOU MAKE THE POLICY CHOICE IS UP TO YOU.
9:53:36AM >>RANDY GOERS: REBECCA MAY CORRECT ME ON THIS.
9:53:38AM THE PROVISION IN THE ORDINANCE SPEAKS TO WHAT THE INTENT --
9:53:45AM WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PARK.
9:53:46AM COUNCIL CAN REMOVE A PARK OR ADD A PARK ANYTIME AND THAT HAS
9:53:51AM HAPPENED.
9:53:51AM I THINK WE'VE AMENDED THE ORDINANCE 24 TIMES SINCE 1985.
9:53:55AM SOME SIMPLE NAME CHANGES.
9:53:56AM SOME ADD A PARK, CHANGE A PARK, MODIFY A PARK AND SO FORTH.
9:53:59AM THE PROVISION IN THE ORDINANCE TALKS ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE
9:54:02AM PLANNING TO DO WITH THE PARK.
9:54:03AM USE IT FOR A PUBLIC USE, PRIVATE USE OR SOMETHING ELSE?
9:54:07AM THE INTENT WAS TO TAKE IT AND USE IT FOR A PRIVATE USE, THEN
9:54:12AM IT WAS CALLED FOR A REFERENDUM.
9:54:14AM IN THIS CASE, WE'RE TAKING IT OFF THE LIST.
9:54:17AM HOW THAT LAND GETS USED IN THE FUTURE STILL HAS TO BE
9:54:21AM DECIDED AND IT MAY STILL BE PART OF A REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
9:54:25AM OR PUBLIC USE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
9:54:27AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I THINK YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTION, WHAT WE'RE
9:54:30AM DOING WITH THE YELLOW JACKET BALLPARK, IT'S STILL GOING TO
9:54:33AM BE A PARK.
9:54:35AM >>RANDY GOERS: IT HASN'T BEEN DETERMINED IN THE FUTURE.
9:54:37AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR ABOUT
9:54:39AM IT.
9:54:40AM OBVIOUSLY IF IT'S BEING PART OF THE LARGER DEVELOPMENT AND
9:54:43AM IT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED, I THINK THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE TO
9:54:45AM PUT IT ON A REFERENDUM, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
9:54:48AM WE HAVE OUR LEGAL EAGLE OVER HERE WHO WILL TELL US.
9:54:57AM REDESIGNATING IT, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE.
9:54:57AM BUT THAT LAND IS NOT PLANNING ON BEING SOLD, CORRECT?
9:55:02AM >>RANDY GOERS: IT MAY BE PART OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
9:55:04AM IT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
9:55:08AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THIS PROCESS ONLY ALLOWS US TO ALLOW IT TO BE
9:55:11AM USED FOR OTHER PUBLIC PURPOSES, AND WE'RE REDESIGNATING --
9:55:15AM WE'RE NOT DESIGNATING IT AS A PARK ANYMORE.
9:55:19AM >>RANDY GOERS: YES.
9:55:21AM YOU'RE TAKING IT OFF THE LIST, IT'S NOT ON A DEDICATED PARKS
9:55:25AM LIST.
9:55:26AM SIMILAR TO WHAT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE ORDINANCE.
9:55:30AM TAKE A PIECE OF PROPERTY, MOVE IT, REDESIGNATE IT.
9:55:33AM THE BALL FIELD IS BEING MOVED.
9:55:36AM ADDING SOME NEW LAND, SO THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF LAND IS NOT
9:55:40AM CHANGING INTO THEIR INVENTORY.
9:55:43AM WE'RE JUST REPROGRAMMING FROM A PLANNING PERSPECTIVE,
9:55:47AM REPROGRAMMING THE USE OF LAND ALONG THE RIVER.
9:55:50AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: NO I GET THAT.
9:55:52AM WE WOULD STILL DO A REFERENDUM IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT
9:55:55AM PIECE OF LAND, IF IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FOR PUBLIC USE
9:55:57AM ANYMORE, MEANING TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC A USE, WE WOULD HAVE
9:56:00AM TO GO TO REFERENDUM.
9:56:02AM THAT IS THE WAY I'M READING IT.
9:56:04AM >> NO.
9:56:04AM >>RANDY GOERS: I THINK ONCE IT'S OFF THE LIST --
9:56:06AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
9:56:07AM THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT, I THANK YOU, MS. CAPIN.
9:56:10AM IF YOU TAKE IT OFF THE LIST IT'S NOW OPEN FOR REDESIGNATION.
9:56:16AM I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAN DO THIS.
9:56:19AM I THINK WE HAVE A CONFLICT WITH THE OTHER ORDINANCE.
9:56:20AM >>REBECCA KERT: THE ORDINANCE IS IN DIFFERENT SECTION.
9:56:23AM ONE SECTION REQUIRES A REFERENDUM, AND IT REFERENCES THE
9:56:26AM OTHER SECTION WITH DEDICATED PARKS.
9:56:28AM ALL OF THIS IS BY ORDINANCE.
9:56:30AM SO YOU CAN CHANGE THE LIST OF DEDICATED PARKS THAT RECEIVE
9:56:33AM THAT PROTECTION THROUGH AMENDING YOUR ORDINANCE.
9:56:36AM I'M AVAILABLE IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.
9:56:42AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
9:56:44AM I'M NOT SURE WE SHOULD BE DOING THIS.
9:56:46AM THAT IS THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE.
9:56:47AM >>REBECCA KERT: LEGALLY YOU CAN DO IT.
9:56:49AM IT IS A POLICY DECISION WHETHER YOU WANT TO DO IT.
9:56:52AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO KNOW TOO MUCH.
9:56:55AM I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
9:56:58AM YOU PICK THE FIVE ACRES OF LAND ON THE RIVER FROM THE SCHOOL
9:57:01AM BOARD.
9:57:01AM YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE A MENTAL SWAP SAYING IT'S LEGAL.
9:57:05AM NOT YOU, BUT THE SYSTEM.
9:57:08AM I WASN'T HERE IN '85.
9:57:10AM I WAS HERE, BUT I WASN'T HERE, HERE.
9:57:14AM I HAVE TO CLEAR THAT UP.
9:57:15AM IT'S HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND FROM WHAT I KNOW IN THE PAST
9:57:20AM TO WHAT THE INTENT OF THE COUNCIL WAS.
9:57:21AM LAWS ARE WRITTEN BUT THEY'RE WRITTEN WITH INTENT.
9:57:24AM AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INTENT WAS BECAUSE I WASN'T HERE.
9:57:31AM I KNOW IT WAS WRITTEN.
9:57:32AM NOT WITH YOU, BUT MYSELF.
9:57:37AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: MS. KERT, WHEN WE REMOVE THIS THEN THERE'S
9:57:43AM NO NEED FOR REFERENDUM IN ORDER TO DO -- TO EXCHANGE THAT
9:57:48AM LAND OR DO WHATEVER THE ADMINISTRATION DECIDES TO DO WITH
9:57:53AM THIS PROPERTY.
9:57:55AM >>REBECCA KERT: CORRECT.
9:57:56AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: THERE'S NO NEED FOR REFERENDUM, IS WHAT I'M
9:58:00AM SAYING.
9:58:00AM >>REBECCA KERT: THE REFERENDUM TIES ONLY TO THE LIST OF
9:58:02AM DEDICATED PARKS.
9:58:04AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: WHEN IT'S NOT DEDICATED -- EXACTLY.
9:58:06AM WHAT WE'RE DOING, IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A CONTRADICTION FROM
9:58:12AM ONE ORDINANCE TO THE OTHER.
9:58:16AM I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE YELLOW JACKETS AND THE PARK THEY
9:58:19AM ARE GOING TO.
9:58:21AM I WANTED TO SEE HOW FAR ALONG THAT PARK IS AND IF THEY'VE
9:58:25AM GOTTEN THEIR CLUBHOUSE OR WHAT IS IT THAT THEIR MISSING THAT
9:58:32AM THEY HAD AT THIS PARK BUT NOT GOING TO HAVE AT THE NEW PARK?
9:58:38AM >> GOOD MORNING.
9:58:39AM PAUL DIAL, PARKS AND RECREATION.
9:58:41AM THE PARK THAT THEY'LL BE MOVING TO IS CALVIN TAYLOR.
9:58:45AM THE PARK, WE'RE ABOUT 50% THROUGH THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT
9:58:49AM WE'RE DOING THERE.
9:58:50AM WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING FROM NEW SIDEWALKS TO REFURBISHING
9:58:55AM THE ATHLETIC FIELDS, MOVING SOME FENCING, NEW FENCING IN
9:59:01AM THOSE AREAS.
9:59:02AM PARKING, LIGHTING, ALL OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS TO WHERE THE
9:59:07AM ATHLETIC FIELDS, THE BASEBALL FIELDS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE FOR
9:59:10AM THEM TO BE ABLE TO USE.
9:59:11AM WE HOPE TO HAVE THIS ALL COMPLETED.
9:59:14AM ACTUALLY IT MIGHT BE ANOTHER MONTH AND A HALF, SOMETHING
9:59:17AM LIKE THAT BEFORE THINGS ARE COMPLETED FOR THE NEXT SEASON.
9:59:21AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: FIELD HOUSE IN THE FUTURE?
9:59:25AM ANYWHERE ON THE LIST OF ITEMS TO BE DONE?
9:59:27AM >> NOT AT THIS TIME WITH THE FUNDING HERE.
9:59:29AM THERE IS A BUILDING HERE THAT WE'LL HAVE AVAILABLE FOR A
9:59:32AM CONCESSION THAT IS THERE KIND OF RIGHT BEHIND THE ATHLETIC
9:59:35AM FIELDS AND WE'LL BE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT.
9:59:37AM FIELD HOUSE, I WOULD SAY MORE OF A CONCESSION.
9:59:43AM MIGHT BE A SMALL AREA.
9:59:45AM MIGHT BE ABLE TO HAVE A SMALL OFFICE.
9:59:47AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: IT'S THERE NOW.
9:59:49AM >> THERE IS A STRUCTURE THERE NOW THAT WE'LL BE MAKING SOME
9:59:51AM IMPROVEMENTS TO BUT IT'S MUCH SMALLER THAN WHAT I WOULD
9:59:57AM DESCRIBE THE FIELD HOUSE.
9:59:58AM VERY MUCH SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE A SMALL CONCESSION THERE
10:00:02AM AT THE SITE.
10:00:09AM >>FRANK REDDICK: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
10:00:10AM ARE YOU GOING TO -- IS IT THE CITY'S INTENT TO, THE NEW
10:00:18AM LOCATION, RENAME THAT THE YELLOW JACKET FIELD OR PARK?
10:00:23AM >> THERE HAS BEEN NO DISCUSSION OF THAT AT THIS POINT.
10:00:26AM IT IS CALVIN TAYLOR PARK.
10:00:28AM OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE LOOKED AT.
10:00:31AM BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO DISCUSSION WITH OUR DEPARTMENT ABOUT
10:00:33AM THAT.
10:00:34AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO INITIATE THAT
10:00:41AM PROCESS?
10:00:41AM >> I CAN TAKE IT BACK.
10:00:43AM >>FRANK REDDICK: I GREW UP PLAYING AT YELLOW JACKET PARK.
10:00:46AM AND IT'S A LOT OF HISTORY THERE.
10:00:49AM WITH ALL THE WEST RIVERFRONT, WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING, THEY
10:00:55AM ARE MANAGING THE AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY IN WEST TAMPA.
10:01:02AM WE'RE LOSING IT.
10:01:03AM WE'RE LOSING IT EVERY DAY WITH ALL THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT.
10:01:07AM THEY ARE CHANGING NAMES.
10:01:08AM THEY ARE CHANGING EVERYTHING.
10:01:11AM RIVERFRONT PARK TO LANE PARK.
10:01:18AM NOW, YOU'RE SCRIPTING A PORTION OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN --
10:01:24AM STRIPPING A PORTION OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY FROM
10:01:26AM HAVING THEIR OWN PARK AND FACILITY, THE YELLOW JACKETS.
10:01:30AM IF YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS, THERE'S A LOT OF BASEBALL
10:01:35AM PLAYERS, PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYERS WENT THROUGH THE
10:01:37AM YELLOW JACKET LITTLE LEAGUE.
10:01:39AM SAME AS WE HAVE WITH BELMONT HEIGHTS LITTLE LEAGUE.
10:01:44AM AND WHERE WE USED TO LOOK AT IT GROWING UP, YOU HAD THE
10:01:47AM YELLOW JACKETS IN WEST TAMPA THAT COMPETED A LOT AGAINST THE
10:01:52AM BELMONT HEIGHT LITTLE LEAGUE IN EAST TAMPA.
10:01:55AM TWO PROMINENT PARKS FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN
10:01:59AM THE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:02:01AM THEY DESERVE, THEY HAD THE YELLOW JACKET NAME ON THE PARK
10:02:08AM SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN UPLIFTED AND RELOCATED.
10:02:10AM THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THAT.
10:02:13AM AND IF THE CITY DOESN'T DO THAT, THEY ARE DOING A DISSERVICE
10:02:17AM TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO SACRIFICED THEIR TIME, THEIR ENERGY,
10:02:22AM AND THEIR LIFE IN SPORTS AT YELLOW JACKET FIELD.
10:02:25AM IF NOTHING ELSE IS DONE, THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THAT FIELD
10:02:31AM NAMED THE YELLOW JACKETS LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD.
10:02:35AM MR. MIRANDA.
10:02:35AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:02:37AM AND I AGREE WITH THE CHAIRMAN SAYING.
10:02:39AM I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS COACHING AT WELLSWOOD, WE HAD A GREAT
10:02:42AM TEAM THAT YEAR.
10:02:43AM THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES.
10:02:45AM SOMETIMES YOU DON'T HAVE SUCH A GREAT TEAM AND SOMETIMES YOU
10:02:48AM DO, JUST LIKE IN ALL SPORTS.
10:02:49AM I REMEMBER WHEN WE FACED THE YELLOW JACKETS IN THE DISTRICT
10:02:52AM AND THEY HAD ONE PLAYER VERY HIGHLY BY THE DODGERS.
10:02:58AM KIKI JONES.
10:03:00AM HE HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR HIM.
10:03:01AM FANTASTIC YOUNG MAN.
10:03:03AM I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
10:03:04AM I THINK HE HURT HIS ARM PLAYING BALL IN THE LEAGUE WHEN HE
10:03:07AM WAS DRAFTED BUT HE WAS A FANTASTIC PLAYER.
10:03:10AM EVERY TIME HE THREW A PITCH, I WAS IN THE STANDS.
10:03:16AM I COULDN'T SEE THE BALL.
10:03:17AM I DON'T KNOW HOW THE HITTER COULD SEE THE BALL.
10:03:19AM >> THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION.
10:03:20AM I'LL TAKE THAT BACK.
10:03:22AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE FIELD SHOULD BE NAMED YELLOW JACKET
10:03:25AM FIELD.
10:03:28AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: HERE'S THE QUESTION I HAVE.
10:03:31AM I THINK WE NEED TO REVISIT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE
10:03:35AM REFERENDUM LANGUAGE IN ANOTHER PART OF OUR ORDINANCES AND
10:03:39AM WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TODAY BECAUSE ANY PARK NOW IS IN
10:03:44AM DANGER, NOT NECESSARILY THIS COUNCIL BUT FUTURE COUNCILS OF
10:03:46AM BEING REMOVED FROM THE LIST AND THEN BEING SOLD FOR
10:03:49AM DEVELOPMENT, WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE.
10:03:51AM I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
10:03:55AM THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE WAY THE LANGUAGE IS AND
10:03:57AM EVERYTHING ELSE IS.
10:03:58AM YOU WOULD BE CONFUSED IF YOU READ ABOUT IT.
10:04:01AM IT SAYS, NO, YOU CAN'T DO IT, YOU TAKE IT OFF THE DEDICATED
10:04:04AM LIST, YOU CAN SELL ANYTHING YOU WANT.
10:04:06AM ANY PARK.
10:04:07AM DOESN'T MATTER YELLOW JACKET, WEST TAMPA LITTLE LEAGUE, THE
10:04:12AM BAY -- BABE ZAHARIAS GOLF COURSE, ANY OF THOSE.
10:04:16AM THAT'S WHAT I'M A LITTLE AFRAID OF WITH THIS.
10:04:19AM >>FRANK REDDICK: YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION?
10:04:21AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I CAN MAKE THE MOTION NOW AND THE LEGAL
10:04:24AM DEPARTMENT COME BACK TO US AND FIGURE OUT A DATE.
10:04:30AM LEGAL DEPARTMENT, IF YOU CAN HELP ME OUT AS TO WHAT YOU'RE
10:04:35AM AVAILABILITY MIGHT BE.
10:04:36AM IF YOU CAN COME BACK DECEMBER OR DO YOU THINK JANUARY WOULD
10:04:38AM BE BETTER?
10:04:40AM WE HAVE TWO DATES IN DECEMBER.
10:04:41AM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
10:04:43AM THE EARLIER DATE IS FINE.
10:04:45AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: DECEMBER 6th?
10:04:48AM >>REBECCA KERT: DECEMBER 6th.
10:04:51AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: SHE HAD A LOOK ON HER FACE, MAYBE I'LL DO IT,
10:04:56AM MAYBE -- YOU'RE JUST THINKING THROUGH AS TO WHETHER OR NOT
10:05:00AM YOU'LL HAVE ENOUGH TIME.
10:05:01AM IF THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT CAN COME BACK WITH LANGUAGE THAT
10:05:03AM CONNECTS THE REFERENDUM PART OF THE ORDINANCE CONCERNING
10:05:08AM PARKS WITH ANY CHANGES IN ORDINANCE TO THIS, WE WANT TO MAKE
10:05:13AM SURE WE GET WHAT WE WANT WHICH IS DEDICATED PARKS KANSAS --
10:05:17AM WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY OF MARRYING THE TWO TOGETHER.
10:05:20AM I THINK YOU PROBABLY ARE GOING TO TELL ME WE ALREADY DO,
10:05:25AM WHICH IS IF YOU TAKE IT OFF THE LIST WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE
10:05:28AM WANT WITH THE PARK.
10:05:29AM >>REBECCA KERT: I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ALL OF YOUR TIME TODAY
10:05:31AM DISCUSSING THIS, SO I'M HAPPY TO COME BACK.
10:05:34AM ANY ORDINANCE CAN BE AMENDED BY ORDINANCE.
10:05:35AM I THINK WHAT I HEAR YOU SAYING --
10:05:38AM [NO ENCODER]
10:05:43AM [NO ENCODER]
10:05:59AM [NO ENCODER]
10:06:05AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: -- NOT FOR PUBLIC USE.
10:06:07AM PROBABLY THE EASIEST WAY OF DOING IT.
10:06:09AM THAT'S MY MOTION.
10:06:10AM DID YOU GET THAT, CLERK?
10:06:11AM ON DECEMBER 6th UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
10:06:18AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I AGREE WITH THAT SECOND, EXCEPT THAT WHAT
10:06:21AM SHE SAID IS CORRECT.
10:06:22AM IT CAN BE CHANGED, AN ORDINANCE CAN BE CHANGED BY ANY
10:06:25AM ORDINANCE BY ANY COUNCIL THAT COMES AFTER US OR US OR ANY --
10:06:30AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I UNDERSTAND THAT.
10:06:31AM I'M TRYING TO PUT MORE TEETH IN IT BECAUSE WHY HAVE A PART
10:06:35AM OF AN ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS FOR REFERENDUM WHEN ALL YOU HAVE
10:06:38AM TO DO IS --
10:06:39AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I AGREE.
10:06:40AM I'M THE ONE THAT SAW THIS COMING.
10:06:43AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: COME BACK AND SEE HOW WE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT.
10:06:47AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:06:49AM I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE TAMPA GREAT AGAIN.
10:06:51AM IT ALWAYS WAS GREAT.
10:06:52AM BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE INTENT GOING BACK TO 1985, AGAIN, I
10:06:57AM SAID I WASN'T THERE, WAS THAT, AND I'M NOT AGAINST THIS ONE
10:07:00AM HERE TODAY, BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF IT.
10:07:03AM BUT I THINK THAT FOR THE PROTECTION, IT WOULD PUT THE BURDEN
10:07:07AM OF PROOF OF THOSE SEVEN COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT SIT HERE IN THE
10:07:10AM FUTURE AND THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THAT WILL BE ON THEM TO
10:07:13AM CHANGE A PARK AND JUST GET RID OF A PARK.
10:07:16AM ANY GREAT CITY HAS GREAT PARKS.
10:07:18AM ANY GREAT CITY HAS GREAT EDUCATION.
10:07:20AM ANY GREAT CITY HAS FIRE AND POLICE.
10:07:23AM THOSE ARE BASIC NECESSITIES ALONG WITH WATER AND SEWER.
10:07:26AM WE'RE NOT HERE TO FUND FERRIES.
10:07:30AM WE'RE NOT HERE TO FUND STADIUMS.
10:07:32AM WE'RE HERE TO FUND PEOPLE'S NEEDS, ALL OF THEM.
10:07:35AM THAT'S HOW I THINK.
10:07:36AM WHETHER I GET REELECTED OR NOT, GOD BLESS THEM.
10:07:39AM I'VE HAD A GREAT RUN.
10:07:44AM [ LAUGHTER ]
10:07:46AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: WE'RE ALWAYS RUNNING.
10:07:47AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M RUNNING FOR MYSELF.
10:07:50AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. SUAREZ, SECONDED BY

10:20:51AM I'M HERE TO CONFIRM WHAT WE HAD MET ABOUT BEFORE.
10:21:02AM ON THE REZONING --
10:21:03AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS CHRISTIE WILSON HERE?
10:21:07AM ONE ADDITIONAL MINUTE.
10:21:16AM >> THANK YOU.
10:21:21AM BASICALLY, A RECAP.
10:21:22AM LOOKING TO BUY A HUNDRED-SQUARE-FOOT LOT INTO TWO 50-FOOT
10:21:27AM LOTS.
10:21:28AM ONE WE'LL LIVE IN AND THEN KATHY'S DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW
10:21:32AM LIVE IN.
10:21:33AM EVERYBODY WAS CONSISTENT EXCEPT FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT AND
10:21:37AM BASICALLY THAT IS JUST ON RATIOS.
10:21:47AM HERE IS OUR PROPERTY HERE.
10:21:49AM HERE IS DALE MABRY.
10:21:50AM THERE'S BAY TO BAY, SMITH AND ASSOCIATES, OFFICE BUILDING,
10:21:55AM GREENSPACE.
10:22:02AM HERE, SMITH AND ASSOCIATES LOT.
10:22:04AM WE HAVE THREE 50-FOOT LOTS HERE.
10:22:07AM ONE ACROSS THE STREET AND THEN THREE MORE OVER HERE ON WEST
10:22:11AM SANTIAGO.
10:22:12AM WE HAVE 18 SIGNED CONSENT FORMS ON BAY TO BAY, OUR IMMEDIATE
10:22:21AM NEIGHBORS SAYING THEY DON'T MIND US DIVIDING OUR LOTS AND
10:22:24AM BUILDING TWO HOUSES.
10:22:25AM THIS IS THE OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION USUALLY
10:22:35AM DOES.
10:22:36AM I COUNTED 72 TOTAL LOTS.
10:22:38AM ONLY 16 OF THEM ARE 100-FOOT LOTS.
10:22:41AM THOSE ARE REALLY THE ONLY LOTS THAT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO
10:22:44AM ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIVIDE A 75-FOOT LOT OR
10:22:47AM ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
10:22:48AM I THINK THE RATIO IS MORE CONSISTENT WITH HAVING OUR HOUSE
10:22:53AM DIVIDED, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE OTHER 50-FOOT LOTS OR 51
10:22:56AM AND 52-FOOT LOTS THAT ARE OUT THERE ALSO.
10:22:59AM THE BAY TO BAY IS NOT YOUR NORMAL LITTLE ROAD.
10:23:11AM WE HAVE 36,000 CARS IN A 24-HOUR PERIOD GOING FROM MANHATTAN
10:23:18AM TO DALE MABRY, WHEREAS USUALLY THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PEOPLE
10:23:24AM PARKING IN THE STREET, NOBODY IS EVER GOING TO DO THAT.
10:23:27AM TRASH TRUCKS DON'T HAVE EGRESS OR THE RESCUE SQUADS.
10:23:32AM AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS WE'LL HAVE A TWO-CAR GARAGE IN
10:23:36AM BOTH DEVELOPMENTS SO EVERYBODY WOULD BE PARKING IN THE
10:23:37AM GARAGES.
10:23:38AM THERE ARE NO TREES THAT HAVE TO BE TAKEN DOWN.
10:23:40AM ALL WE HAVE ARE PALM TREES.
10:23:42AM THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR NUMBERS, YOU KNOW, THE HOUSES.
10:23:46AM WON'T BE ANY HALF NUMBERS.
10:23:47AM 3811 AND 3813.
10:23:49AM THOSE ARE USUALLY SOME OF THE ARGUMENTS THAT ARE AGAINST
10:23:55AM REZONING AND DIVIDING LOTS.
10:23:59AM THANK YOU.

10:41:05AM CRIST AN MORA, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
10:41:07AM THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE DECISION OF THE VARIANCE REVIEW
10:41:09AM BOARD.
10:41:11AM YOU ARE RECEIVING A COPY I THINK OF THE STAFF REPORT AS WELL
10:41:16AM AS THE USUAL PROCEDURE FOR A REVIEW OF THE VRB AND ALSO ON
10:41:23AM THE LAST PAGE OF THAT HANDOUT, THERE IS A COPY OF SECTION
10:41:27AM 27-80 OF OUR CODE WHICH ARE THE RELEVANT REVIEW STANDARDS.
10:41:31AM THIS IS A DE NOVO REVIEW.
10:41:33AM I'M AVAILABLE WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
10:41:34AM I BELIEVE MR. JOEL SOUSA WILL ADDRESS YOU REGARDING THE
10:41:38AM STAFF REPORT.
10:41:42AM >> JOEL SOUSA, LAND DEVELOPMENT.
10:41:44AM THE CASE BEFORE YOU IS VRB 18-59 HEARD ON JULY 10.
10:41:51AM THE VRB BIFURCATED THE APPROVAL.
10:41:54AM FRONT YARD AND REAR YARD SETBACK ON A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE.
10:41:58AM FRONT YARD SETBACK WAS APPROVED AND THE REAR PART OF THE
10:42:03AM STRUCTURE WAS DENIED.
10:42:04AM SHOW YOU WHERE THIS IS AND WHAT'S GOING ON.
10:42:09AM THIS IS THE AREA.
10:42:17AM IT'S A LITTLE BIT NORTH OF HILLSBOROUGH OFF ARMENIA.
10:42:22AM THIS IS A STRUCTURE RIGHT HERE.
10:42:23AM CODE ENFORCEMENT WAS FIRST CONTACTED FOR CONSTRUCTION
10:42:32AM WITHOUT PERMITS.
10:42:33AM THEY CAME IN FOR THE VARIANCE ON THIS STRUCTURE.
10:42:37AM THIS IS THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE THAT CAME IN TO GET A FRONT
10:42:39AM YARD SETBACK.
10:42:40AM THIS FRONT PORCH AREA AND REAR YARD BACK HERE FOR THIS AREA
10:42:47AM FOR THE BEDROOMS.
10:42:49AM BETWEEN THE TIME IT CODE ENFORCEMENT FOUND OUT, IT ALSO
10:42:54AM APPLIED FOR SPECIAL USE.
10:42:56AM NOW AN EIGHT-BED ALF IN THIS STRUCTURE NOW.
10:43:00AM THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE.
10:43:03AM WALK AROUND TO THE SIDE.
10:43:10AM THE REAR AND THE VERY BACK SIDE.
10:43:16AM AGAIN, THE VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH
10:43:26AM THE EXCEPTION OF PARKING SPACES THAT WOULD BE HANDLED AT THE
10:43:29AM TIME OF PERMITTING.
10:43:31AM OTHER THAN THAT NO PERMITS PULLED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION.
10:43:34AM CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AGAIN.
10:43:36AM APPROVED THE FRONT YARD SETBACK FOR THE FRONT YARD PORCH BUT
10:43:39AM DENIED THE BACK AREA, THIS BACK AREA.
10:43:55AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
10:43:56AM THE APPLICANT.
10:44:12AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: BEFORE YOU BEGIN, DO YOU HAVE YOUR DVD THAT
10:44:17AM WE NEED TO PLACE INTO THE RECORD?
10:44:27AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WE NEED THAT BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD?
10:44:41AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT'S WHAT IS IN THE CODE.
10:44:46AM A DVD OF THE HEARING THAT WAS DONE BEFORE THE VARIANCE
10:44:48AM REVIEW BOARD.
10:45:00AM >> SHE DOESN'T HAVE THAT DVD.
10:45:07AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WAS SHE NOTIFIED SHE HAD TO HAVE ONE?
10:45:10AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I BELIEVE THAT'S PART OF THE CLERK'S
10:45:13AM NOTICE.
10:45:13AM >>THE CLERK: PART OF THE PETITION FOR REVIEW APPLICATION AND
10:45:16AM INCLUDED IN THE LETTER SENT TO THE PETITIONER.
10:45:18AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: ALSO, LEGALLY, THE PURPOSE IS, DEPENDING ON
10:45:22AM WHATEVER COUNCIL'S DECISION THAT GETS PLACED PART OF THE
10:45:25AM RECORD SO IT TRAVELS WITH IT IF IT IS EVER CHALLENGED.
10:45:28AM >>FRANK REDDICK: IT SEEMS TO ME SHE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
10:45:33AM WAS IT TRANSLATED, THIS INFORMATION IN --
10:45:40AM >>THE CLERK: ONLY AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH.
10:45:43AM >>FRANK REDDICK: THAT MIGHT BE THE CONFUSION.
10:45:45AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, WE'RE ADDRESSING SOME OF THOSE
10:45:47AM CONCERNS THAT CAME UP PREVIOUSLY.
10:45:50AM DOES COUNCIL WISH TO HAVE IT CONTINUED FOR THE PURPOSE OF
10:45:56AM HAVING HER OBTAIN THE DVD AND ALSO WE CAN ADDRESS SOME OF
10:46:02AM THESE ISSUES WITH REGARD TO HAVING THESE NOTICES BILINGUAL
10:46:08AM AND THE LIKE?
10:46:11AM >>FRANK REDDICK: I THINK THAT WOULD BE ...
10:46:16AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IT WOULD BE
10:46:21AM NECESSARY FOR HER TO GO FORWARD TO BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE DVD
10:46:28AM AND THEN WE'LL CONTINUE IT TO ANOTHER DATE TO ALLOW YOU THE
10:46:32AM TIME TO COME BACK WITH THAT DVD?
10:46:43AM AND THE QUESTION IS, MR. CHAIRMAN, IT APPEARS THAT THIS
10:46:46AM GENTLEMAN IS CAPABLE OF TRANSLATING ACCURATELY, IS THAT
10:46:51AM CORRECT?
10:46:52AM >> TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.
10:46:56AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: DOES SHE WANT TO AT THE NEXT HEARING HAVE A
10:47:01AM TRANSLATOR, A CERTIFIED TRANSLATOR PRESENT?
10:47:06AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: LET ME INTERRUPT FOR JUST A SECOND.
10:47:09AM HERE'S ONE OF THE ISSUES.
10:47:10AM THE APPLICATION IS WRITTEN IN ENGLISH.
10:47:14AM SOMEONE ACTUALLY PUT THIS TOGETHER.
10:47:15AM WE DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS HER, SOMEONE ELSE.
10:47:18AM MAYBE SHE WRITES ENGLISH BUT DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH VERY
10:47:21AM WELL.
10:47:22AM THE IDEA THAT WE NEED A TRANSLATOR WHEN SOMEONE HAS PUT THIS
10:47:25AM TOGETHER.
10:47:26AM MAYBE MR. SOUSA KNOWS WHO HE WAS DEALING WITH AT THE TIME.
10:47:28AM THE IDEA THAT SOMEBODY COMES AS AN APPLICANT AND NO ONE HAS
10:47:33AM -- SOMEBODY HAS DONE SOMETHING HERE.
10:47:36AM WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT, WHO'S DOING WHAT WITH THE APPLICANT
10:47:40AM AND WHAT IS OUR STAFF DOING MAKING SURE THAT WHEN PEOPLE
10:47:44AM COME HERE THAT THEY ARE VETTED IN A WAY THAT THE PERSON WHO
10:47:46AM PUT THIS APPLICATION TOGETHER IS GOING TO SHOW UP WITH THE
10:47:50AM APPLICANT TO FIGURE IT OUT.
10:47:53AM I THINK THAT SHOULD BE WHERE WE PUT THE BURDEN RIGHT HERE
10:47:57AM WHICH STAFF IS DEALING WITH AND NOT US.
10:47:59AM WHEN WE COME HERE, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE DON'T HAVE A WAY OF
10:48:01AM GOING FORWARD WITH IT.
10:48:03AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: JUST TO INFORM COUNCIL, I'VE HAD THE
10:48:06AM OPPORTUNITY TO MEET MS. FOXX-KNOWLES THE CITY CLERK, TO MEET
10:48:11AM WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO DISCUSS THIS.
10:48:13AM WE HAD A REPRESENTATIVE FROM PURCHASING THERE.
10:48:15AM THESE ARE ISSUES THAT ARE NOW BECOMING AWARE TO EVERYONE
10:48:19AM THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS NOW WORKING THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
10:48:24AM I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
10:48:28AM HOW DOES COUNCIL WISH TO PROCEED?
10:48:32AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I WANT TO ASK --
10:48:35AM [NO ENCODER]
10:48:53AM [NO ENCODER]
10:48:54AM [NO ENCODER]
10:49:07AM [NO ENCODER]
10:49:12AM [NO ENCODER]
10:49:20AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: -- THIS IS GETTING INTERESTING.
10:49:22AM IT WAS AN OPTION FOR HER TO BRING IT OR NOT, IS THAT WHAT
10:49:28AM SHE'S SAYING?
10:49:34AM >> WHAT SHE UNDERSTOOD AT THE TIME WAS THAT IT WAS HER
10:49:38AM DECISION TO BRING SOMEONE TO RECORD THE HEARING.
10:49:42AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: "RECORD THE HEARING"?
10:49:44AM >> THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.
10:49:46AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: THAT'S WHAT HER DAUGHTER UNDERSTOOD.
10:49:48AM >> YES.
10:49:50AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: FROM THE CLERK'S OFFICE.
10:49:51AM >>THE CLERK: MR. CHAIR, ACCORDING TO WHAT HE'S STATING THAT
10:49:55AM WAS FOR A TRANSLATOR TO COME HERE.
10:49:57AM BUT SHE DID FILL OUT THE APPLICATION.
10:49:59AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: YOU'RE READING THAT FROM WHERE?
10:50:01AM >>THE CLERK: THE APPLICATION HERE AND SHE ALSO FILED THE
10:50:04AM COMPLETED AFFIDAVIT NOTICING THAT SHE DID.
10:50:08AM SHE WAS NOTARIZED BY -- I CAN'T TELL -- SHE COMPLETED THE
10:50:16AM APPLICATION --
10:50:21AM >>FRANK REDDICK: DID HER DAUGHTER INFORM HER THAT SHE NEEDED
10:50:23AM TO GET A CD OF THE VARIANCE REVIEW HEARING?
10:50:27AM >> CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION, PLEASE?
10:50:29AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ASK HER, DID HER DAUGHTER INFORM HER THAT
10:50:33AM SHE NEEDED TO GET A COPY OF THE CD OR THE HEARING, THE
10:50:36AM VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD HEARING SHE WENT TO?
10:50:50AM >> SHE WAS NOT TOLD THAT.
10:50:54AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: SHE WAS NOT TOLD THAT BUT IT IS IN THE
10:50:56AM LETTER.
10:50:57AM >>THE CLERK: IT'S IN THE LETTER AND ALSO -- [INAUDIBLE]
10:51:01AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: IT'S IN THE LETTER AND IN THE PETITION.
10:51:07AM >> SHE'S SAYING THAT HER DAUGHTER CALLED A TELEPHONE.
10:51:09AM I ASKED HER WHO DID SHE CALL.
10:51:12AM SHE SAID THE TELEPHONE ON THE LETTER.
10:51:13AM WHEN SHE CALLED, THE DAUGHTER TOLD HER FROM THE CONVERSATION
10:51:16AM ON THE CELL PHONE THAT IT WAS HER OPTION TO BRING SOMEONE TO
10:51:21AM RECORD THE HEARING.
10:51:23AM >>FRANK REDDICK: THAT'S A TRANSLATOR YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
10:51:26AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: SOMEONE TO RECORD?
10:51:29AM >> THIS HEARING.
10:51:30AM THE HEARING BEFORE.
10:51:31AM SHE IS REFERRING TO THIS HEARING.
10:51:37AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: GETTING MORE CONFUSING.
10:51:38AM I WANT TO HEAR WHAT CAN WE DO.
10:51:42AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THESE ARE ISSUES THAT WE DID DISCUSS.
10:51:45AM I APOLOGIZE.
10:51:46AM I NEGLECTED TO MENTION THAT.
10:51:47AM THAT MEETING ON OCTOBER 17 WAS ALSO ATTENDED BY REBECCA
10:51:51AM KERT.
10:51:51AM SHE WAS THERE, TOO.
10:51:52AM AND THESE ARE ISSUES THAT DID COME UP IN THE COURSE OF THAT
10:51:57AM DISCUSSION THAT ARE ISSUES THAT WE'VE LEARNED HAVE TO BE
10:52:03AM ADDRESSED WHEN WE'RE CONFRONTED WITH THESE ISSUES.
10:52:07AM IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE THIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A
10:52:11AM TRANSLATOR PRESENT AT THE NEXT MEETING, IN THE MEANTIME I
10:52:14AM WILL WORK --
10:52:14AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: WAIT, THE REASON WE WANTED A TRANSLATOR IN
10:52:18AM THE FIRST PLACE IS WE WANTED THE RECORD TO BE CLEAR.
10:52:21AM WE WANTED A TRANSLATOR THAT WAS AN OFFICIAL TRANSLATOR.
10:52:23AM NOT US.
10:52:24AM NOT US TRANSLATING FOR THEM BECAUSE THAT CAN BE INTERPRETED
10:52:29AM AS -- SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER WE WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY
10:52:32AM OR NOT, IT'S A MATTER OF LEGALITY, IN MY MIND.
10:52:37AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE ISSUE ALSO CAME UP, AND
10:52:38AM MS. FOXX-KNOWLES CAN ADD TO IT IF SHE WANTS, BUT THE ISSUE
10:52:42AM COMES UP IN COORDINATING WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT AND THE
10:52:45AM CONTACTS THAT THEY HAVE WITH STAFF TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY
10:52:50AM NEED A TRANSLATOR.
10:52:54AM ALSO THE ISSUE OF THE LANGUAGE THAT GOES OUT IN INITIAL
10:52:56AM NOTICES ALSO CAME UP AS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
10:52:59AM THESE WERE THINGS AS A RESULT OF THE LAST HEARING THAT WE
10:53:03AM HAD THE ISSUE WITH THE CLERK AND THE ADMINISTRATION AND
10:53:08AM REPRESENTING CITY COUNCIL ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING
10:53:12AM THROUGH THESE ISSUES.
10:53:13AM AS OF NOW YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE NOT RESOLVED.
10:53:16AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I'LL ADD TO THAT.
10:53:17AM OUR VOTING BALLOTS ARE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH.
10:53:21AM THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE FIRST-MOST SPOKEN LANGUAGE IN THE
10:53:25AM WORLD IS SPANISH.
10:53:28AM SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS INCIDENTAL.
10:53:31AM IT IS A SECOND LANGUAGE IN THIS COUNTRY.
10:53:33AM SO I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT VERY SERIOUSLY.
10:53:39AM THANK YOU.
10:53:39AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: A, I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE THIS TO OUR
10:53:43AM NEXT REGULAR SESSION IN ORDER TO GO FORWARD.
10:53:46AM SECONDLY, THE OTHER ISSUES THAT DEAL WITH THE PROCEDURAL
10:53:50AM PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE HAVING, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST
10:53:53AM ONE, YOU KNOW, EITHER A LAND USE CHANGE OR ZONING OR THIS
10:53:59AM TYPE OF HEARING HAS NOT HAD SOMEONE ABLE TO TRANSLATE.
10:54:03AM SO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT, WHAT IS LAND USE TALKING ABOUT
10:54:08AM WHEN THEY ARE TALKING TO SOMEBODY?
10:54:09AM I MEAN, ARE THEY TALKING TO THE APPLICANT?
10:54:13AM TALKING TO A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE APPLICANT?
10:54:15AM HOW IS IT WE DO NOT HAVE PEOPLE HERE -- OBVIOUSLY, SOMEONE
10:54:20AM WROTE THIS IN ENGLISH AND IT WAS HER DAUGHTER.
10:54:23AM I THINK WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN LAND DEVELOPMENT IS
10:54:28AM TALKING TO SOMEBODY, YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CLEAR WHEN SOMEBODY
10:54:31AM HAS ANOTHER LANGUAGE THAT IS THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE AND I
10:54:34AM DON'T THINK WE'RE DOING THAT.
10:54:36AM THEY COME HERE AND DON'T HAVE THINGS READY TO GO.
10:54:39AM I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS TO
10:54:43AM NOVEMBER 15th.
10:54:44AM SHE CAN GET A COPY AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS THIS,
10:54:47AM CLERK, AM I CORRECT OF THIS?
10:54:49AM SHE CAN GET A COPY OF THE DVD FROM THE CLERK'S OFFICE.
10:54:51AM >>THE CLERK: NO.
10:54:53AM SHE NEEDS TO GET A COPY OF THAT FROM THE OFFICE OF CABLE
10:54:56AM COMMUNICATION.
10:54:57AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: MY POINT IS, SHE CAN GET A COPY OF THE DVD
10:55:00AM FROM CABLE COMMUNICATIONS.
10:55:03AM AND I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL HELP THEM GET THAT DVD SO WHEN
10:55:06AM SHE COMES BACK ON THE 15th THAT SHE HAS THE DVD AVAILABLE.
10:55:13AM SO THAT'S THE FIRST MOTION, WHICH IS WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD
10:55:17AM WITH THIS TO GET THIS ON 10:30 A.M. ON NOVEMBER 15th.
10:55:21AM WE WILL CONTINUE IT UNTIL THAT TIME.
10:55:25AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I'M GOING TO SECOND THAT MOTION.
10:55:27AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION FROM MR. SUAREZ, SECONDED BY
10:55:30AM MS. CAPIN.
10:55:31AM ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE MOTION?
10:55:32AM ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.
10:55:33AM OKAY.
10:55:37AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I ALSO WANT TO THANK LEGAL FOR TAKING THIS
10:55:41AM UP BEFORE AND GIVING US SOME FEEDBACK THAT WE NEEDED.
10:55:45AM SO THANK YOU.
10:55:46AM DID YOU HEAR ME?
10:55:51AM >> KIND OF.
10:55:54AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: CONTACT MY OFFICE AND I WILL HELP YOU.
10:55:57AM MY NAME IS RIGHT THERE, AND I WILL HELP YOU GO THROUGH THAT
10:56:01AM PROCESS.
10:56:02AM IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT, BUT APPARENTLY IT IS FOR THEM.
10:56:07AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: CHAIR, IF I COULD MAKE THE SUGGESTION, TOO,
10:56:09AM TO LAND USE DEVELOPMENT, EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON, TAKE IT
10:56:14AM OFF LINE.
10:56:14AM TELL THEM IT'S BEEN CONTINUED AND HAS TO COME BACK ON THE
10:56:18AM 15th, 10:30 A.M.
10:56:19AM MS. CAPIN'S OFFICE WILL HELP HER GET THE DVD NECESSARY FOR
10:56:22AM US TO MOVE FORWARD.
10:56:23AM AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE PROCEDURAL ISSUES LATER ON,
10:56:29AM MAYBE EVEN AFTER THE END OF THIS MEETING.
10:56:31AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
10:56:32AM ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS?
10:56:34AM >> THANK YOU.
10:56:35AM GRACIAS.
10:56:37AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE GO TO ITEM NUMBER 57.
10:56:44AM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
10:56:46AM ITEM 57 IS A CONTINUED REVIEW HEARING FROM A DECISION OF THE
10:56:51AM ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION.
10:56:52AM IT WAS CONTINUED AT THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT.
10:56:55AM IT'S FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 311 EAST ROSS AVENUE.
10:56:59AM THIS IS A DE NOVO REVIEW, SO CITY COUNCIL CAN TAKE
10:57:02AM ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE AND THEN APPLY THE FACTS THAT YOU HEAR
10:57:06AM TO THE CODE PROVISION.
10:57:07AM THANK YOU.
10:57:14AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
10:57:15AM DENNIS FERNANDEZ, ARCHITECTURE REVIEW AND HISTORIC
10:57:18AM PRESERVATION MANAGER HERE ON ITEM NUMBER 57.
10:57:21AM A REVIEW OF A DECISION BY THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
10:57:24AM COMMISSION UNDER CASE NUMBER 18-147.
10:57:28AM OCCURRED JULY 9th OF THIS YEAR.
10:57:33AM I WANTED TO BEGIN WITH A PHOTO ESSAY.
10:57:35AM THIS IS A REFERENCE TO THE 1929 SANBORN MAP.
10:57:50AM SUBJECT PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN.
10:57:52AM IT IS NOT THE EXISTING PROPERTY.
10:57:53AM THIS IS A BUILDING THAT WAS REPLACED THAT STRUCTURE, BUT YOU
10:57:56AM DO GET A CONTEXT OF THE RESIDENTIAL NATURE OF THE DISTRICT.
10:58:01AM THIS IS THE TAMPA HEIGHTS LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT MAP.
10:58:06AM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS AT THE BASE OF THE ARROW WITHIN THE
10:58:10AM BOUNDARIES.
10:58:10AM THIS IS AN AERIAL SHOWING THE PARCEL SITE IN THE GREEN BOX.
10:58:22AM IT IS ON 311 ROSS AVENUE.
10:58:26AM JEFFERSON IS TO THE EAST AND MORGAN STREET IS TO THE WEST.
10:58:29AM THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
10:58:34AM THE DISCUSSION WE'LL BE HAVING IS GOING TO BE ON THE
10:58:36AM DRIVEWAY AND THE DRIVEWAY PLACEMENT.
10:58:40AM THE APRON AND THE VEHICLE.
10:58:44AM THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT ABUTS TO THE WEST.
10:58:50AM THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT ABUTS TO THE EAST.
10:58:56AM THAT IS VIEW ACROSS THE STREET.
10:58:58AM THE SIDE OF THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY THAT FACES JEFFERSON.
10:59:03AM THIS IS A VIEW OF ROSS LOOKING TO THE EAST.
10:59:13AM ONE BACK TO THE WEST.
10:59:18AM THIS IS A SUBJECT PROPERTY REAR ALLEY ACCESS.
10:59:24AM THERE'S AN ALLEY THAT RUNS EAST AND WEST BEHIND THE SUBJECT
10:59:28AM PROPERTY.
10:59:29AM AND THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM THE REAR.
10:59:30AM AND JUST A COUPLE OF PHOTOS OF THE ALLEY ENTRANCES.
10:59:36AM THIS IS THE ALLEY ENTRANCE COMING OFF OF JEFFERSON.
10:59:42AM AND THEN BACK ON MORGAN STREET, WHICH IS TO THE WEST.
10:59:46AM THE REQUEST BEFORE THE ARCHITECTURE REVIEW COMMISSION WAS TO
11:00:05AM PLACE THE DRIVEWAY IN THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE.
11:00:10AM THE ISSUE DID ORIGINATE AS A VIOLATION THAT THEN THE
11:00:14AM APPLICANT DID SEEK CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS TO REMEDY
11:00:19AM THE VIOLATION WHICH WAS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DRIVEWAY,
11:00:24AM THE REMOVAL OF THE CURB, THE INTRODUCTION OF THE APRON, AND
11:00:28AM THEN THE PARKING OF THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE FRONT SETBACK OF
11:00:34AM THE STRUCTURE.
11:00:35AM THIS IS AN AERIAL SHOWING THE SUBJECT BLOCK, THE SUBJECT
11:00:47AM PROPERTY IS 311 EAST ROSS, WHICH IS THE RED DOT PLACED ON
11:00:51AM IT.
11:00:52AM DURING THE DISCUSSION AT THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
11:00:54AM COMMISSION, THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF DELIBERATION ON THE
11:00:58AM CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT AND HOW VEHICLES ARE STORED WITHIN
11:01:01AM THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.
11:01:02AM THE DESIGN GUIDELINES PROHIBIT PARKING IN THE FRONT YARD
11:01:09AM WHEN THERE'S THE ABILITY FOR A VEHICLE TO PULL ALONG THE
11:01:12AM SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE OR ALONG ACCESS VIA AN ALLEYWAY,
11:01:18AM THAT'S WHAT IS REQUIRED.
11:01:20AM AND THIS PARTICULAR BLOCK, THERE'S A NUMBER OF STRUCTURES
11:01:24AM THAT ACCESS BOTH THROUGH THE ALLEY AND THROUGH THE STREET.
11:01:27AM 311 DOES ACCESS VIA THE ALLEY AS WELL AS 309.
11:01:33AM 307 ENTERS OFF THE STREET, PASSES BEYOND THE FRONT TO THE
11:01:38AM REAR YARD.
11:01:39AM 301 COMES OFF THE SIDE.
11:01:41AM I BELIEVE 305 ACCESSES FROM THE ALLEY AS WELL.
11:01:46AM SOME OF THE REFERENCES WITHIN THE DISTRICT, STRUCTURES LIKE
11:01:56AM THIS THAT ARE HISTORIC STRUCTURES.
11:01:58AM THIS IS A REDEVELOPMENT PLAN.
11:02:00AM THE A.R.C. HAD PREVIOUSLY APPROVED LAST YEAR.
11:02:06AM YOU SEE THAT THE VEHICULAR ACCESS PULLS THE FRONT OF THE
11:02:12AM ELEVATION.
11:02:14AM SIDE OR REAR WHEN ALLEY ACCESS IS NOT AVAILABLE.
11:02:16AM SITUATION LIKE THIS WHICH WAS NEW CONSTRUCTION FROM 2007,
11:02:25AM THE VEHICLE DOES PULL OFF THE STREET BUT PASSES BEYOND THE
11:02:29AM FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE TO THE REAR YARD, WHERE THERE'S A
11:02:34AM TWO-STORY ACCESSORY STRUCTURE GARAGE WHERE THE VEHICLE IS
11:02:38AM STORED.
11:02:38AM IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, THERE IS A GARAGE DOOR ACCESS
11:02:41AM OFF THE ALLEY AS WELL SO THE VEHICLE CAN COME DOWN THE ALLEY
11:02:45AM AND ENTER THROUGH THE ALLEY WAY OR PASS THROUGH THE ENTIRE
11:02:48AM STRUCTURE AND EDGE IT OUT OF THE ALLEYWAY.
11:02:50AM IT MAKES IT A LITTLE EASIER TO MANAGE THAT AS OPPOSED TO
11:02:54AM BACKING OUT THE ENTIRE DISTANCE.
11:02:55AM THIS IS A NEW CONSTRUCTION OF A STRUCTURE, A DUPLEX
11:03:04AM STRUCTURE THAT WAS RECENTLY APPROVED BY THE A.R.C.
11:03:07AM IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE BECAUSE OF THE FACT IT HAS TO BE
11:03:11AM FEE SIMPLE, EACH PROPERTY HAS TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR OWN
11:03:15AM PARKING, THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, THERE'S ACCESS OFF THE
11:03:18AM SIDE ALLEY AND THEN THERE WAS A RIBBON THAT WAS PUT
11:03:22AM ESSENTIALLY AS FAR BACK AS IT COULD GO.
11:03:25AM THERE'S A PROTECTED TREE THAT PROHIBITED IT FROM GOING ANY
11:03:27AM FURTHER.
11:03:28AM THERE ARE MANY OTHER EXAMPLES.
11:03:35AM THOSE ARE JUST SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU SEE IN THE
11:03:39AM DISTRICT.
11:03:40AM AFTER DISCUSSION AND RELIANCE ON THE DESIGN STANDARDS AND
11:03:46AM THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR STANDARDS, THE VOTE WAS 6-0 TO
11:03:53AM RECOMMEND -- OR TO DENY THE REQUEST FOR THE DRIVEWAY IN THE
11:03:57AM FRONT PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE.
11:04:00AM RECOMMENDED ACCESS THROUGH THE ALLEYWAY AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO
11:04:05AM MEET THE DESIGN STANDARDS.
11:04:06AM THE MOTION WAS BASED ON THE REASONS THAT THE PARKING AREA IS
11:04:10AM IN THE FRONT OF THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE WHICH IS INCONSISTENT
11:04:13AM WITH THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER, THE GUIDELINES AND THE
11:04:16AM PATTERNS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND STREET.
11:04:17AM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
11:04:20AM I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
11:04:22AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
11:04:25AM ALL RIGHT.
11:04:26AM WHO'S NEXT?
11:04:28AM THE APPLICANT?
11:04:31AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES.
11:04:34AM >>DENNIS FERNANDEZ: WE DO HAVE OTHER CITY STAFF FROM
11:04:36AM TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT HERE THAT CAN PROVIDE TECHNICAL
11:04:39AM INFORMATION ABOUT PARKING STANDARDS ONCE THE APPLICANT IS
11:04:42AM THROUGH WITH THE PRESENTATION.
11:04:44AM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
11:04:45AM APPLICANT.
11:04:49AM >> GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:04:50AM MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, MY NAME IS JOHN GRANDOFF.
11:04:55AM MY ADDRESS IS SUITE 3700 BANK OF AMERICA PLAZA.
11:04:59AM I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF REPRESENTING MR. ERIC ELKINS AND
11:05:03AM LINDA KELLY, WHO LIVE AT 311 ROSS STREET.
11:05:06AM ERIC IS HERE THIS MORNING.
11:05:08AM ERIC, WOULD YOU PLEASE STAND?
11:05:09AM ON THE DVD ISSUE, APPARENTLY WE DID NOT HAVE -- THEY DID NOT
11:05:17AM HAVE VISUAL CAPABILITY ON THE DAY OF THE A.R.C. HEARING, BUT
11:05:23AM THERE WAS AUDIO.
11:05:24AM ERIC HAS FILED THE AUDIO WITH SANDY MARSHALL ON THE
11:05:29AM JULY 18th.
11:05:30AM I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THE RECORD IS COMPLETE, AND WE MAY
11:05:36AM PROCEED THIS MORNING.
11:05:38AM >>FRANK REDDICK: GETTING CONFIRMATION FROM --
11:05:43AM >>THE CLERK: MR. CHAIR, I DO NOT HAVE AN AERIAL --
11:05:47AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: THE AUDIO.
11:05:51AM >>THE CLERK: I HAVE NO -- HE SAID HE FILED IT WITH ME?
11:05:55AM I HAVE NOTHING.
11:05:57AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: THERE WAS NO -- THE VIDEO WAS OUT OF ORDER
11:05:59AM THAT DAY.
11:06:01AM >>THE CLERK: THIS WAS ACTUALLY SET BY COUNCIL BACK IN
11:06:05AM SEPTEMBER, ORIGINALLY SEPTEMBER 20 AND CONTINUED -- OR SET
11:06:13AM FOR TODAY AND CONTINUED ON SEPTEMBER 20th TO
11:06:16AM NOVEMBER 1st.
11:06:22AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: ERIC SHOWED ME A COPY OF THE E-MAIL THAT HE
11:06:24AM SENT TO SANDY MARSHALL ON JULY 18 COMPLETING THE
11:06:29AM APPLICATION, INCLUDING AN AUDIO RECORDING OF THE HEARING.
11:06:35AM >> BY E-MAIL?
11:06:38AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: YES.
11:06:39AM ERIC IS HERE.
11:06:48AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: BEFORE WE GO FORWARD AND BEFORE YOU TALK,
11:06:50AM MR. GRANDOFF, NOW WE HAVE TO DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT AN AUDIO
11:06:55AM FILE THAT IS SENT BY E-MAIL MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR
11:07:00AM RULES.
11:07:01AM AGAIN, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT THE ORDINANCE WAS
11:07:03AM WRITTEN AT A TIME WHEN DVDs WERE MUCH MORE AVAILABLE.
11:07:06AM MORE PEOPLE DO AUDIO FILES NOW OR ARE ABLE TO SEND IT, EVEN
11:07:11AM VIDEO FILES THROUGH E-MAIL AND ALL KINDS OF OTHER CONCEPTS.
11:07:16AM IF THE AUDIO FILE IS FOUND, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH US
11:07:19AM MOVING FORWARD ON IT.
11:07:21AM I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE AGAINST OUR
11:07:23AM OWN RULES CONCERNING THAT.
11:07:25AM DOES IT HAVE TO BE A PHYSICAL COPY AND A PHYSICAL DVD?
11:07:29AM THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION, DON'T YOU THINK, MS. KERT?
11:07:33AM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
11:07:35AM IF A DVD IS NOT AVAILABLE, THEN AN AUDIO WOULD BE
11:07:37AM SUFFICIENT.
11:07:38AM BUT THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT --
11:07:42AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IT'S A HARD COPY.
11:07:43AM >>REBECCA KERT: IT WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE A HARD COPY.
11:07:45AM JUST SOMETHING THAT WAS TRANSMITTED.
11:07:47AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT.
11:07:49AM I APPRECIATE THAT.
11:07:51AM >>THE CLERK: IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, ACCORDING TO THE PROCESS,
11:07:56AM THEY HAVE TO PRESENT IT AT THE HEARING BEFORE COUNCIL.
11:07:59AM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
11:08:02AM IT'S OKAY IF IT'S SUBMITTED BEFORE THE HEARING.
11:08:04AM IT'S NOT GOING TO BE OUT OF ORDER IF IT'S SUBMITTED IN
11:08:10AM ADVANCE.
11:08:10AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I UNDERSTAND.
11:08:12AM IF YOU'RE ALLOWING IT, ACCORDING TO YOU, MS. KERT, YOU'RE
11:08:16AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHOW US SOMETHING IF IT'S ALREADY
11:08:20AM BEEN TRANSMITTED BY E-MAIL.
11:08:21AM I THINK WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
11:08:24AM I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE PROCEDURE RIGHT.
11:08:29AM >>FRANK REDDICK: DO YOU WANT THE GENTLEMAN TO SPEAK?
11:08:31AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: I THINK MR. SHELBY ASKED ME TO WAIT.
11:08:36AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: DO YOU HAVE A COPY?
11:08:38AM >> I DO.
11:08:38AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IN WHAT FORM?
11:08:41AM >> STREAMING, AUDIO FILE.
11:08:45AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: EXPLAIN THE CONVERSATION YOU HAD WITH SANDY
11:08:46AM MARSHALL.
11:08:48AM >> SANDY TOLD ME WHERE TO GET THE FILE -- I FORGET WHAT IT
11:08:54AM WAS CALLED, CABLE SOMETHING.
11:08:57AM THE PEOPLE THAT DO THE RECORDING.
11:08:59AM CABLE, A.R.C.
11:09:03AM SHE TOLD ME TO PUT IT IN A FILE AND SEND IT TO HER AND
11:09:08AM THAT'S WHAT I DID.
11:09:11AM THAT WAS ON THE 18th OF JULY.
11:09:16AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE COPY BEFORE THE COUNCIL RENDERS ITS
11:09:18AM DECISION HAS TO SOMEHOW GET INTO THE FILE TO BECOME PART OF
11:09:22AM THE RECORD.
11:09:22AM FOR PURPOSES OF REVIEW.
11:09:25AM SO THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU HAVE IT IN THE FORM IN ANY WAY
11:09:32AM THAT CAN BE SUBMITTED TO THE CLERK TODAY?
11:09:35AM >> I'VE ALREADY SENT IT IN AN E-MAIL.
11:09:38AM JULY 18th.
11:09:38AM SENT IT TO THE SAME PERSON.
11:09:45AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IF I COULD, CHAIR, I WOULD OPINE THAT BASED
11:09:48AM ON WHAT MS. KERT SAID, IF HE CAN SEND THAT FILE NOW TO THE
11:09:52AM CLERK'S OFFICE, TO MS. MARSHALL OR ANYONE ELSE IN THE
11:09:55AM CLERK'S OFFICE THAT IT WOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY FILED.
11:09:57AM THAT WOULD BE MY GUESS BASED ON WHAT MS. KERT SAID A MOMENT
11:10:02AM AGO.
11:10:03AM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
11:10:05AM FOR THE RECORD, YES.
11:10:05AM I DO AGREE.
11:10:07AM THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT.
11:10:08AM >>FRANK REDDICK: HAVE YOU SENT IT.
11:10:10AM >> SENT IT, YES.
11:10:12AM >>FRANK REDDICK: YOU JUST SENT IT.
11:10:13AM SOMEBODY WANT TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE IT'S THERE?
11:10:19AM >>THE CLERK: I NEED TO GET INTO GROUP WISE OR OUTLOOK SO
11:10:23AM THAT I --
11:10:26AM >>FRANK REDDICK: LET'S STAND IN RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES.
11:10:32AM WE'LL STAND IN RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES AND SEE IF SOMEBODY
11:10:38AM CAN RETRIEVE THAT.
11:10:39AM [RECESS]
11:22:19AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE.
11:22:22AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: PRESENT.
11:22:23AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HERE.
11:22:25AM >>LUIS VIERA: HERE.
11:22:26AM >>FRANK REDDICK: HERE.
11:22:27AM ALL RIGHT.
11:22:29AM WHAT'S THE VERDICT?
11:22:31AM >>THE CLERK: OKAY.
11:22:32AM HE SENT ME AN E-MAIL.
11:22:34AM AND I TRIED TO OPEN UP THE LINK; HOWEVER, I GET A MESSAGE
11:22:37AM THAT SAYS THE PAGE YOU REQUESTED WAS NOT FOUND.
11:22:40AM I PUT THAT INTO THE RECORD.
11:22:43AM AND ALSO WHAT HE ATTACHED WAS A COPY OF THE A.R.C. DECISION.
11:22:48AM AND THIS WAS TO MY E-MAIL THAT I ORIGINALLY SENT TO HIM
11:22:52AM ABOUT TRANSMITTING THE PETITION FOR REVIEW AND TOLD HIM HE
11:22:56AM HAD TEN WORKING DAYS OF THE DECISION OF THE A.R.C. TO FILE
11:23:00AM IT.
11:23:00AM IF YOU WANT, WE CAN SEE IF CABLE CAN WORK WITH ME ON IT.
11:23:10AM I TRIED TO OPEN IT AND IT SAID "PAGE REQUESTED WAS NOT
11:23:15AM FOUND."
11:23:15AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: MR. CHAIRMAN, MAY I BE HEARD FOR A MOMENT?
11:23:18AM THE CODE IN THE LETTER REQUIRES A SUBMITTAL OF A DVD.
11:23:23AM IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT BECAUSE IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING THAT
11:23:31AM DAY.
11:23:31AM MY CLIENT DID THE BEST HE COULD BY SUBMITTING AN AUDIO.
11:23:35AM FOR SOME REASON THAT HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED.
11:23:38AM THE REASON FOR THE RULE OF HAVING THE DVD IS SO REVIEWING
11:23:43AM AUTHORITY, IN THIS CASE, MAYBE A COURT, WOULD HAVE A FULL
11:23:47AM RECORD.
11:23:48AM IF THERE'S AN APPEAL OF THIS CASE, THE COURT WOULD STILL
11:23:51AM HAVE THE ABILITY TO GRANT LEAVE TO THE CITY, WHOEVER
11:23:54AM APPEALS, TO LOCATE AT LEAST AN AUDIO OR A TRANSCRIPT AND
11:24:00AM SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD AT THAT TIME.
11:24:01AM TO ME, I THINK IT'S A TECHNICAL ITEM OF THE FIRST ORDER THAT
11:24:08AM WOULD NOT PREVENT US FROM GOING FORWARD.
11:24:11AM I WILL TAKE THE RISK OF GOING FORWARD WITH THIS HEARING
11:24:15AM WITHOUT THE VIDEO OR THE AUDIO IN THE RECORD KNOWING IT CAN
11:24:19AM BE SUPPLEMENTED AT A LATER DATE.
11:24:22AM IF YOU PREFER NOT TO DO THAT, OBVIOUSLY, A CONTINUANCE WOULD
11:24:25AM BE FINE.
11:24:26AM I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT 30 DAYS IS GOING TO PROVIDE, IF
11:24:29AM MR. ELKINS COULD NOT LOCATE IT THEN AND THE CITY COULD NOT
11:24:33AM LOCATE IT THIS MORNING, IT MAY BE GONE.
11:24:39AM >>FRANK REDDICK: HE GOT A RECORDING ON HIS CELL PHONE, IS
11:24:45AM THAT CORRECT?
11:24:46AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: YES.
11:24:47AM ERIC, COME UP AND EXPLAIN TO THE BOARD WHAT YOU DID.
11:24:50AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MY QUESTION IS, IF WE CONTINUE THIS, IS IT
11:24:55AM POSSIBLE THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THAT RECORDING TO A CD AND
11:24:59AM THEN HAND DELIVER IT TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE.
11:25:04AM >> DOWNLOAD IT ON A CD?
11:25:07AM YES.
11:25:07AM I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
11:25:11AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IT'S VERY EASY.
11:25:14AM >>FRANK REDDICK: SOMEBODY WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.
11:25:20AM MR. GRANDOFF, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS THE BEST PROCEDURE OR
11:25:24AM PROCESS.
11:25:25AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: IT'S OKAY WITH US.
11:25:28AM I'M WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK THIS MORNING.
11:25:30AM IF YOU PREFER TO CONTINUE IT, WE'RE FINE WITH THAT ALSO.
11:25:34AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: MR. CHAIR, IF I COULD, MS. KERT SAID IT'S
11:25:38AM OKAY TO HAVE A FILE THAT IS THERE.
11:25:41AM BECAUSE WE CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT DOESN'T MEAN HE DIDN'T SEND IT.
11:25:45AM THAT'S THE POINT.
11:25:46AM I DO BELIEVE -- THE LETTER OF THE LAW AND THE LETTER OF THE
11:25:50AM ORDINANCE IS THAT A DVD BE PRESENTED.
11:25:53AM WE CAN PUT THAT ON YOUR SHOULDERS A LITTLE BIT, TOO, IN THAT
11:25:57AM CAN BE DOWNLOADED.
11:25:58AM AN AUDIO FILE CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONTO A CD.
11:26:01AM SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE IT.
11:26:04AM LET'S GET IT STRAIGHTENED OUT SO WE DON'T HAVE PROCEDURAL
11:26:07AM ISSUES.
11:26:07AM I HATE TO DO IT AGAINST ONE PERSON TODAY AND THEN ALLOW YOU
11:26:11AM TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT PROOF OF IT, TOO.
11:26:14AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: CERTAINLY OKAY.
11:26:17AM >>FRANK REDDICK: YOU'RE ACCEPTING THE CONTINUANCE.
11:26:19AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: SURE.
11:26:20AM ABSOLUTELY.
11:26:22AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I'LL MOVE TO CONTINUE.
11:26:24AM >>FRANK REDDICK: HOW MUCH TIME YOU NEED?
11:26:25AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: LET ME CHECK.
11:26:28AM GET MY CALENDAR.
11:26:29AM I'M NOT AVAILABLE ON NOVEMBER 15th FOR SURE.
11:26:39AM THE 22nd IS THINKING OF.
11:26:46AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: DECEMBER 6 WOULD BE OUR NEXT REGULAR SESSION.
11:26:50AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: DECEMBER 6, THAT'S GOOD.
11:26:52AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: CHAIR, I'LL MOVE TO CONTINUE ITEM 57 TO
11:26:57AM NOVEMBER -- EXCUSE ME, DECEMBER 6 AT 10:30 A.M.
11:27:03AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM MR. SUAREZ.
11:27:04AM SECONDED BY MR. MIRANDA TO CONTINUE NUMBER 57 TO DECEMBER.
11:27:09AM ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.
11:27:12AM OPPOSED?
11:27:12AM OKAY.
11:27:14AM WE'LL DO THAT.
11:27:15AM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: WE'LL GET WITH THE OFFICE OF CABLE
11:27:18AM COMMUNICATIONS AND LOCATE A VIDEO AND GET THAT ON A DVD AND
11:27:22AM FILE THAT WITH MADAM CLERK.
11:27:24AM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING.
11:27:26AM >>FRANK REDDICK: THANK YOU.
11:27:27AM WE'LL GO TO STAFF REPORTS.
11:27:31AM ITEM NUMBER 58.
11:27:40AM >>ERIC WEISS: GOOD MORNING.
11:27:42AM ERIC WEIS, WASTE WATER DEPARTMENT HERE TO ANSWER ANY
11:27:46AM QUESTIONS.
11:27:47AM >> MOVE THE RESOLUTION.
11:27:48AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION BY MR. MIRANDA.
11:27:49AM SECONDED BY MR. MANISCALCO.
11:27:51AM ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, AYE.
11:27:52AM OPPOSED?
11:27:54AM OKAY.
11:27:54AM ITEM NUMBER 59.
11:28:00AM >>DENNIS FERNANDEZ: DENNIS FERNANDEZ, ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
11:28:02AM AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION MANAGER, RESPONDING TO YOUR
11:28:06AM MOTION.
11:28:06AM I WANTED TO PROVIDE A TIMELINE FOR YOU.
11:28:08AM THE DISCUSSION POINT WAS POTENTIAL REVISIONS TO THE SETBACK
11:28:14AM REQUIREMENTS IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT AS
11:28:17AM RELATED TO FENCES.
11:28:18AM THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KIND OF GOING ON A FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
11:28:28AM I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A VISUAL OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE
11:28:31AM PROCESS.
11:28:32AM BEGAN BACK IN MAY WHEN THE COUNCIL MADE A MOTION TO REVIEW
11:28:34AM THE GUIDELINES AND TO WORK WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC
11:28:38AM ASSOCIATION ON ACCEPTABLE PARAMETERS TO POSSIBLY MODIFY THE
11:28:43AM PORTION OF THE TAMPA HEIGHTS DESIGN GUIDELINES THAT RELATE
11:28:47AM TO FENCE PLACEMENT.
11:28:50AM WE DID HAVE A HEARING ON THE 12th AT THE HPC BUT THE
11:28:53AM ASSOCIATION WASN'T ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT HEARING.
11:28:56AM SO THE BOARD DID ASK THE STAFF TO GO BACK AND MEET WITH THE
11:29:02AM ASSOCIATION WHICH WE DID ACCOMPLISH ON JUNE 9th.
11:29:05AM THE ASSOCIATION SUBSEQUENTLY SENT A LETTER ESSENTIALLY
11:29:10AM AFFIRMING THE EXISTING DESIGN STANDARDS AS THEY REMAIN.
11:29:15AM WE HAD A SUBSEQUENT PUBLIC HEARING AT THE HPC.
11:29:18AM THE HPC WAS ON SEPTEMBER 11th.
11:29:23AM THEY SENT BACK A MOTION TO COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION
11:29:29AM CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION FOR THOSE
11:29:31AM DESIGN GUIDELINES TO REMAIN UNCHANGED.
11:29:33AM THAT WAS THEN HEARD ON SEPTEMBER 20th AT WHICH TIME CITY
11:29:38AM COUNCIL MADE A MOTION FOR STAFF TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
11:29:43AM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION ON POTENTIALLY BRINGING REVISIONS
11:29:48AM BACK TO COUNCIL PERTAINING TO FENCE PLACEMENT.
11:29:52AM THE MOTION TO APPEAR AT TODAY'S HEARING WAS MADE
11:29:56AM SEPTEMBER 27.
11:29:57AM WE DID MEET WITH THE ASSOCIATION ONCE AGAIN THIS PAST MONDAY
11:30:01AM AT THEIR REGULAR BOARD MEETING.
11:30:02AM THEY DO HAVE SOME DESIRE TO CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION OF THIS
11:30:09AM SUBJECT IF THEY FEEL IT'S ONE IMPORTANT TO THE CHARACTER OF
11:30:13AM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:30:14AM MOVING FORWARD, HOW THE PROCESS WOULD THEN WORK, WE DO HAVE
11:30:18AM AN HPC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 13th.
11:30:23AM THAT IS THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING SINCE YOU MADE YOUR MOTION
11:30:26AM ON SEPTEMBER 20th.
11:30:28AM THIS ITEM WILL BE ON THE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION.
11:30:31AM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN INVITED TO ATTEND THAT
11:30:34AM MEETING.
11:30:35AM AND WE'RE LOOKING -- STAFF IS LOOKING FOR SOME DIRECTION
11:30:38AM FROM THE HPC ON WHAT TYPE OF CHANGES, IF ANY, THEY WANT TO
11:30:42AM SEE WITHIN THE DESIGN STANDARDS.
11:30:46AM [NO ENCODER]
11:30:50AM [NO ENCODER]
11:31:07AM [NO ENCODER]
11:31:10AM [NO ENCODER]
11:31:17AM -- JANUARY 15th AT WHICH TIME WE WILL CONSIDER DRAFT
11:31:21AM CHANGES TO THE DESIGN STANDARDS AND HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO
11:31:24AM BRING A RECOMMENDATION BACK TO YOU FOLLOWING THAT HEARING ON
11:31:28AM WHAT THE HPC RECOMMENDS AS FAR AS CHANGES TO THAT PARTICULAR
11:31:31AM SEGMENT OF THE DESIGN STANDARDS.
11:31:33AM I THINK THERE'S PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC
11:31:36AM PARTICIPATION.
11:31:37AM IN THIS PROCESS, WE ARE DEFINITELY ENGAGED, AS YOU HEARD
11:31:40AM EARLIER, WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND WILL BE
11:31:43AM LETTING THEM KNOW ABOUT ANY DISCUSSIONS THAT WOULD OCCUR IN
11:31:47AM PUBLIC PREMIUMS TOTALED THIS MATTER.

11:32:20AM OF WHAT THE CHANGES SHOULD BE.

11:32:40AM >>FRANK REDDICK: OH, OKAY.
11:32:43AM ALL RIGHT.
11:32:43AM THEN WE GO TO INFORMATION REPORTS.
11:32:46AM MR. SUAREZ.
11:32:49AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: CHAIR, I DON'T HAVE ANY PARTICULAR NEW
11:32:52AM BUSINESS.
11:32:52AM BUT, OF COURSE, WHAT HAPPENED IN PITTSBURGH THIS PAST
11:32:54AM WEEKEND, AND WE HAD A GATHERING ON MONDAY NIGHT OVER AT THE
11:32:58AM CONGREGATION RODEPH SHALOM.
11:33:01AM THE MAYOR WAS THERE AND MANY PEOPLE PART OF THE COMMUNITY
11:33:04AM WERE THERE.
11:33:04AM OUR COLLEAGUE, MR. COHEN AND MR. VIERA WERE THERE AS WELL AS
11:33:08AM SOME OTHER FOLKS.
11:33:09AM AND REALLY TALKED ABOUT HOW WE CAN COME TOGETHER A LITTLE
11:33:12AM BIT MORE AND HOW WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP FIGHTING HATE.
11:33:16AM SURE ENOUGH THAT HAPPENED ON MONDAY.
11:33:18AM I JUST SAW IN THE NEWS YESTERDAY, ROD CARTER WAS TALKING
11:33:21AM ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT THE NAACP RECEIVING A HATEFUL LETTER
11:33:25AM CONCERNING, IF NOT A THREAT OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE, DEFINITELY
11:33:30AM A THREAT OF VERBAL PROPORTIONS AND HOW DISTURBING IT IS TO
11:33:35AM HAVE IT HERE IN TAMPA, THE SAME KIND OF HATEFUL SPEECH THAT
11:33:39AM YOU SEE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
11:33:40AM I KNOW THAT WE'RE BETTER THAN ALL OF THAT AND ALL OF US HERE
11:33:43AM ON COUNCIL HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED AND PROMOTED DIVERSITY IN
11:33:47AM THIS AREA.
11:33:47AM I HOPE THAT THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE
11:33:51AM LISTENING AND MOST PEOPLE THAT HEAR ABOUT THESE TYPE OF
11:33:55AM INCIDENTS, PLEASE REPORT THEM BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE
11:33:58AM A SITUATION LIKE THEY HAD IN PITTSBURGH WHERE SOMEONE MIGHT
11:34:01AM HAVE BEEN SAYING SOMETHING, MAYBE THEY SAID IT PUBLICLY AND
11:34:04AM THEN IT ENDED IN TRAGEDY.
11:34:05AM I JUST THANK THE FACT THAT OUR POLICE RESPONDED TO NAACP AND
11:34:11AM WENT TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS ANYTHING
11:34:14AM ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE.
11:34:16AM THE NAACP HAD CONTACTED THE FBI.
11:34:18AM LET'S HOPE THAT WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT ANY OF THESE OTHER
11:34:21AM INCIDENCES NOT ONLY HERE IN TAMPA BUT ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE
11:34:24AM COUNTRY.
11:34:24AM SO THANK YOU, CHAIR.
