9:08:47AM MEMBERS, MY PLEASURE THIS MORNING TO BE BEFORE YOU WITH
9:08:51AM CHIEF DUGAN TO MAKE A PRESENTATION OF THE POLICE OFFICER OF
9:08:54AM THE MONTH TO CORPORAL DANIEL ROMANOWSKI.
9:08:59AM WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT THE CHIEF HAS TO SAY ABOUT HIM, YOU'LL
9:09:02AM UNDERSTAND WHY HE WAS POLICE OFFICER OF THE MONTH.
9:09:03AM AGAIN, DANIEL.
9:09:04AM PLAY BASKETBALL?
9:09:08AM >> I DID.
9:09:08AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I THOUGHT YOU DID.
9:09:10AM CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT.
9:09:11AM YOU'VE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN YOUR WORK THAT YOU DO
9:09:16AM EVERY DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR, 24 HOURS A DAY.
9:09:19AM THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE TODAY.
9:09:21AM ONE OF 12 IN ONE YEAR.
9:09:24AM THIS IS THE LAST ONE IN 2018.
9:09:27AM ON BEHALF OF TAMPA CITY COUNCIL AND ALL THE 380,000 PLUS
9:09:30AM PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA WHO WISH YOU THE BEST, THANK YOU
9:09:33AM FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
9:09:34AM THANK YOU, POLICE FORCE, THE MEN AND WOMEN WITH YOU AND WHAT
9:09:38AM THEY DO ON A DAILY BASIS.
9:09:41AM WE ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE.
9:09:42AM THAT'S WHY CRIME IS DOWN NOT ONLY UNDER CHIEF DUGAN, BUT THE
9:09:44AM LAST THREE OR FOUR CHIEFS HAVE ALWAYS REDUCED CRIME BECAUSE
9:09:44AM WE'RE WORKING MORE AND MORE WITH CITIZENS.
9:09:49AM CHIEF DUGAN WILL READ WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE PAST TO BE
9:09:52AM HERE TODAY TO RECEIVE THIS HONOR OF BEING POLICE OFFICER OF
9:09:54AM THE MONTH.
9:09:54AM CHIEF?
9:09:56AM >> THANK YOU, SIR.
9:09:57AM GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
9:09:58AM BRIAN DUGAN, CHIEF OF POLICE.
9:10:01AM DAN ROMANOWSKI, HE IS OUR OFFICER OF THE MONTH.
9:10:05AM WE CALL HIM ROMO.
9:10:07AM IT'S EASIER AND SHORTER FOR THE SLOW PEOPLE LIKE ME.
9:10:10AM DAN SERVES SEVERAL ROLES AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
9:10:14AM CORPORAL ON OUR VIOLENT CRIME SQUAD BUT ALSO A TASK FORCE
9:10:17AM OPERATOR, TFO ASSIGNED TO THE FBI.
9:10:20AM AND SPECIALIZES IN INVESTIGATION OF VIOLENT CRIME.
9:10:24AM AND SO HE SERVES AS A TASK FORCE OPERATOR, CORPORAL AND
9:10:28AM SOMETIMES HE'S EVEN AN ACTING SERGEANT FOR US.
9:10:33AM HE'S VERY GOOD AT MULTITASKING.
9:10:35AM CORPORAL DAN ROMANOWSKI LEADS FROM THE FRONT.
9:10:39AM HE EXCELS AT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SMALLEST DETAIL THAT
9:10:42AM CAN MAKE OR BREAK A CASE.
9:10:44AM IN ONE SUCH CASE HE PARTNERED WITH THE SQUAD WITH A DISTRICT
9:10:47AM SACK SQUAD FOR AN INITIATIVE IN AN AREA WHERE MULTIPLE
9:10:51AM SHOOTINGS HAD TAKEN PLACE.
9:10:53AM DURING THE INITIATIVE, THE TEAM WORKED TOGETHER AND ARRESTED
9:10:56AM 15 CONVICTED FELONS.
9:10:58AM HE ASSISTED IN THE INTERVIEW OF THE DEFENDANT, OBTAINED A
9:11:01AM CONFESSION, AND GARNERED AN ADDITIONAL INTELLIGENCE RELEVANT
9:11:05AM TO THE OTHER SHOOTINGS.
9:11:07AM HIS EXPERTISE STRENGTHENED THE ORIGINATING OFFICER'S CASE.
9:11:10AM A WEEK LATER, HE FOLLOWED UP TO SEE IF IT HAD BEEN FILED
9:11:16AM WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR PROSECUTION.
9:11:19AM SINCE IT HAD NOT, HE QUICKLY REACHED OUT TO THE STATE
9:11:22AM ATTORNEY TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR A SUCCESSFUL
9:11:24AM PROSECUTION.
9:11:24AM BEING A DILIGENT INVESTIGATOR, HE SHORED UP THE CASE,
9:11:28AM ULTIMATELY GIVING THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WHAT WAS
9:11:30AM NEEDED TO GO FORWARD WITH A FELON IN POSSESSION TRIAL,
9:11:34AM TAKING A 15-TIME CONVICTED FELON OFF THE STREET.
9:11:37AM DAN'S WORK SHOWS A TRUE COMMITMENT TO THE DEPARTMENT AS A
9:11:41AM WHOLE.
9:11:41AM WHEN HE ADOPTS A PATROL CASE AS A TASK FORCE OPERATOR, HE'S
9:11:46AM THEN RESPONSIBLE WITH ALL THE LATENT INVESTIGATION, THE CASE
9:11:48AM PREPARATION, SUBPOENAS, SEARCH WARRANTS, AND EVIDENCE CHAIN
9:11:52AM OF CUSTODY.
9:11:54AM EACH CASE TAKES AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME AND ATTENTION
9:12:01AM TO DETAIL.
9:12:02AM IN ONE CASE, AN UNDERCOVER DISTRICT OFFICER HAD BEEN WORKING
9:12:03AM A NARCOTICS AND GUN DEAL.
9:12:04AM ULTIMATELY, THE SUSPECTS ROBBED THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT
9:12:08AM AND THE OFFICER AT GUNPOINT.
9:12:10AM THEY WERE APPREHENDED LATER THAT NIGHT, AND DAN ADOPTED THE
9:12:12AM CASE.
9:12:13AM THROUGH HIS DILIGENT WORK OVER THE PAST YEAR, HE WAS ABLE TO
9:12:16AM PREPARE A CASE THAT CULMINATED LAST MONTH WITH A FEDERAL
9:12:20AM PRISON SENTENCE BEING HANDED OUT TO THREE DEFENDANTS WHO
9:12:22AM WERE MULTI-TIME CONVICTED FELONS.
9:12:24AM DAN REGULARLY PERFORMS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF HIS JOB IN AN
9:12:28AM EFFORT TO ASSIST OTHER DIVISIONS WITHIN THEIR CASES.
9:12:32AM IN NOVEMBER, HE LEARNED OF AN ARMED CAREER CRIMINAL THAT HAD
9:12:36AM THREATENED A VICTIM WITH A GUN DURING A DISPUTE.
9:12:39AM ALTHOUGH NOT A CASE, THE VIOLENT CRIMES BUREAU NORMALLY
9:12:42AM ADOPTS, HE KNEW THE VICTIM WAS AFRAID TO COOPERATE.
9:12:45AM KNOWING IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE SUSPECT HURT
9:12:48AM SOMEONE ELSE, HE ORGANIZED AN OPERATIONAL PLAN WITH HIS OWN
9:12:52AM SQUAD ALLOWING THE VICTIM TO BE KEPT OUT OF THE PICTURE.
9:12:55AM HE WAS ULTIMATELY ABLE TO ARREST THE SUSPECT FOR THE SALE
9:12:58AM AND DELIVERY OF NARCOTICS AND WORKED WITHIN THE STATE
9:13:00AM ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO PUSH FORWARD WITH THE CASE WITH A
9:13:03AM 15-YEAR MINIMUM MANDATORY SENTENCE.
9:13:05AM I THINK WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT IS DAN AND HIS
9:13:08AM SQUAD, THEY TARGET SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE TERRORIZING
9:13:13AM CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS WITHIN THE CITY.
9:13:15AM THAT'S WHAT IS VERY IMPORTANT IS WHEN YOU KNOW WHO IS
9:13:19AM COMMITTING THE CRIME, YOU FOCUS ON THOSE INDIVIDUALS AS
9:13:21AM OPPOSED TO BLANKET POLICING AND THIS IS MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE.
9:13:25AM THAT'S WHY WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO REDUCE VIOLENT CRIME
9:13:29AM IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
9:13:32AM WITH DAN'S WORK AND HIS SQUAD AND RECOGNITION FOR HIS HARD
9:13:35AM WORK AND DEDICATION, CORPORAL DANIEL ROMANOWSKI HAS BEEN
9:13:38AM SELECTED AS OFFICER OF THE MONTH FOR DECEMBER 2018.

9:19:43AM HE HAD TO WORK HARD LIKE HE DOES IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

9:24:32AM THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, YOU HAVE BEEN SUCH A SOURCE OF COMFORT
9:24:36AM AND STRENGTH TO ALL OF US.
9:24:38AM I CAN TELL YOU ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHEN IT GETS TENSE,
9:24:42AM LOOKING OUT AND SEEING YOU THERE HAS BEEN A GREAT COMFORT.
9:24:48AM THAT GOES FOR WHAT GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES AS WELL.
9:24:52AM I KNOW I'LL MISS YOU VERY MUCH.
9:24:54AM I WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST, PARTICULARLY AT THE SCHOOLS
9:24:58AM WHERE I KNOW YOUR EXPERTISE IS SORELY NEEDED.
9:25:02AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU, CHAIR.
9:25:03AM I WISH I COULD SAY I'VE KNOWN DONNY AS LONG AS MS. CAPIN OR
9:25:07AM CHARLIE, BUT I HAVEN'T.
9:25:08AM I'VE KNOWN YOUR WIFE LONGER.
9:25:10AM NOW, THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTED.
9:25:12AM WHEN I FIRST GOT ELECTED, DONNY CAME UP TO ME AND HE SAID, I
9:25:18AM THINK YOU GRADUATED WITH MY WIFE FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
9:25:21AM I SAID OKAY.
9:25:21AM I HAD A LOOK ON MY FACE BECAUSE HE HAD HIS COP LOOK, WHICH
9:25:25AM WAS STEELY EYED STARING THROUGH ME.
9:25:32AM I SAID WHO IS YOUR WIFE?
9:25:33AM HE TOLD ME HIS WIFE'S NAME.
9:25:36AM I SAID, OH, MY GOD, WONDERFUL YOUNG LADY.
9:25:38AM TERRIFIC.
9:25:39AM HE SAID, DON'T WORRY, SHE TOLD ME YOU NEVER TRIED TO DATE
9:25:44AM HER, SO YOU'RE OKAY.
9:25:45AM THAT'S HOW WE STARTED OUT OUR RELATIONSHIP.
9:25:48AM DONNY HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL FRIEND AND SOMEBODY YOU COULD
9:25:51AM TALK TO ABOUT PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING.
9:25:53AM WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES HERE FOR OUR SECURITY BECAUSE
9:25:57AM WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT DONNY WAS THERE AND DONNY WAS MAKING
9:26:02AM SURE WE WERE TAKEN CARE OF, HANDLED THINGS HERE IN THE
9:26:05AM CHAMBER BOTH IN A PROFESSIONAL AND KIND WAY FOR MOST FOLKS.
9:26:09AM I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER HAD ANY ISSUES HERE.
9:26:11AM WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK.
9:26:13AM HAVING SERVED IN THE ARMY PREVIOUSLY AND THEN, OF COURSE,
9:26:16AM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THEN HERE, YOU'VE DONE AN EXEMPLARY
9:26:21AM JOB.
9:26:21AM I KNOW WHEN YOU SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE BEHIND THAT YOU SUPPORT
9:26:24AM YOU AND KNOW YOU AND KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB, THAT
9:26:28AM IS SOMETHING TO TAKE WITH YOU FROM HERE.
9:26:32AM I KNOW YOU'LL DO A GREAT JOB AT THE SCHOOL BOARD.
9:26:37AM I HOPE YOU HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN THE OUTBACK STEAK TAKEOUT
9:26:41AM NUMBER CORRECT NOW AND I WON'T GET ANY MORE CALLS ON MY CELL
9:26:49AM PHONE ASKING FOR A BLOOMING ONION AND TOP SIRLOIN.
9:26:52AM WHEN SOMEBODY'S WIFE CALLS YOU AND IT'S SOMEBODY YOU KNOW
9:26:55AM AND SAYS, HI.
9:26:56AM AND I GO HI.
9:26:57AM WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME?
9:26:59AM OF COURSE, HIS WIFE WOULD SAY, OH, I THOUGHT THIS WAS
9:27:04AM OUTBACK.
9:27:05AM I WANT TO TELL YOU, DARLENE AND ALL THE GIRLS ARE A
9:27:09AM WONDERFUL FAMILY TO YOU, AS WE ALL KNOW.
9:27:11AM YOU'VE DEALT WITH SOME SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES, BOTH YOUR OWN
9:27:19AM HEALTH AND YOUR GRANDCHILD.
9:27:21AM WE'VE BEEN THERE WITH YOU, AND WE KNOW YOU'LL CONTINUE TO
9:27:24AM HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS.
9:27:26AM YOU HAVE ONE DAUGHTER UP IN VIRGINIA AND ONE DAUGHTER IN
9:27:29AM MICHIGAN.

9:30:57AM WHERE THE FIRST AND THE FIFTH AND THE FOURTH WERE LOCKED
9:31:01AM INTO THE CHURCHES, LOCKED INTO THE SYNAGOGUES, LOCKED INTO

9:32:04AM FRANCHISE OF THE OLD FORMER EUROPEAN, AFRICAN UNION, WHICH
9:32:11AM THE LAST PRESIDENT OF THAT UNION WAS BARACK OBAMA.
9:32:14AM NO, I DIDN'T PICK IT UP.
9:32:16AM NO, TRUMP DIDN'T PICK IT UP.
9:32:21AM WHY WOULD WE PICK IT UP WHEN WE WERE PLANNING ON FREEDOM AND
9:32:25AM RELEASE?
9:32:26AM SO, YES, TRUMP IS YOUR RELEASING PRESIDENT, AND THE -- HE
9:32:32AM WASN'T THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENT, HE WAS THE FIRST FOREIGN
9:32:36AM PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, FIRST PRIME MINISTER OF
9:32:44AM AMERICA, BARACK OBAMA WAS THE LAST U.S. PRESIDENT.

9:33:09AM LAW ENFORCEMENT IS TWO OF THE SAME TEAMS.

9:33:18AM THAT'S FAMILY, BUSINESS.
9:33:20AM YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO LEARN TO WORK TOGETHER, NOT FIGHT OVER
9:33:24AM EACH OTHER OR DESTROY EACH OTHER.
9:33:26AM GOD DOESN'T DESTROY.

9:33:31AM WHOLE GLOBE.
9:33:31AM COME TOGETHER.
9:33:32AM THANK YOU.
9:33:42AM >> GOOD MORNING.
9:33:43AM DANIELS.
9:33:47AM I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL ABOUT A SUBJECT DEAR TO MY
9:33:55AM HEART.
9:33:56AM AS I THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU MEET PEOPLE AND YOU HEAR ABOUT
9:34:03AM PEOPLE, IT IS WRITTEN THAT IT IS FIVE CROWNS.
9:34:07AM I WATCH YOU-ALL GIVE LOTS OF AWARDS AND I WATCH STUDENTS GET
9:34:13AM AWARDS IN EDUCATION, ACADEMICS, SPORTS AWARDS.
9:34:17AM THROUGH TIME I JUST SIT BACK AND WATCH.
9:34:21AM AND IT IS WRITTEN THAT THERE ARE FIVE REWARDS.
9:34:27AM FIVE CROWNS OF REWARDS THAT WE BE GIVEN AFTER LIFE.
9:34:40AM AND IT'S WRITTEN THAT WAY.
9:34:42AM SOMETHING HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF ON JULY 13,
9:34:50AM 2018, THIS PAST SUMMER.
9:34:56AM AND I WATCHED THESE INDIVIDUALS ATTACK MY HUSBAND.
9:35:03AM FIVE TIMES HE WAS HIT.
9:35:06AM THEY HIT HIM.
9:35:07AM THEY CUT HIS EYE, BUST HIS LIP.
9:35:12AM AND I WATCHED THEM -- HEY, CALM DOWN.
9:35:16AM AND I WATCHED WHAT TOOK PLACE AFTER THAT.
9:35:24AM MY HUSBAND, ANTHONY DANIELS -- AND HE WAS THE VICTIM.
9:35:32AM MYSELF, I WAS ATTACKED AND THE -- I'M THE VICTIM AND THE
9:35:38AM PERSON THAT ATTACKED ME WALKED SCOT-FREE.
9:35:43AM AND SO I THINK ABOUT ALL THE AWARDS BEING GIVEN AND I'M SO
9:35:53AM GLAD THAT REWARDS GIVEN LATER IN LIFE, THEY'RE NOT DONE BY
9:35:59AM PEOPLE JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON.
9:36:03AM YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW MY HUSBAND PERSONALLY, BUT FOR DECADES, I
9:36:09AM HAVE GENERATIONS OF FAMILY HERE IN THE BAY AREA.
9:36:14AM FIVE GENERATIONS.
9:36:15AM I'VE WATCHED MY HUSBAND FOR DECADES BE KIND AND HAVE TEEN
9:36:24AM ALCOHOL-FREE, DRUG-FREE, PROFANITY-FREE FOR THE YOUTH AND
9:36:28AM I'VE SEEN THEIR PARENTS COME BACK AND THANK HIM FOR THE LIFE
9:36:32AM THEY ARE NOW LIVING BECAUSE OF WHAT MY HAS DONE.
9:36:36AM I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE THIS MORNING, PLEASE DON'T
9:36:43AM CONTINUE AS MANY HAVE DONE, JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON, DISLIKING
9:36:48AM SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.
9:36:55AM >> METESMOT.
9:36:58AM I HAVE SOMETHING HERE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PASS ON TO THE
9:37:21AM TAMPA CITY COUNCIL AND HOPE YOU WILL TAKE AN INTEREST IN
9:37:26AM THAT.
9:37:26AM IT'S CALLED DOING TOO MUCH.
9:37:28AM IT'S CALLED DOING TOO MUCH.
9:37:30AM AND BASICALLY WHAT WE HAVE IS PEOPLE ON TAXPAYERS' TIME, ON
9:37:36AM TAXPAYERS' MONEY DOING TOO MUCH, AND THEY'RE NOT DOING TOO
9:37:42AM MUCH TO GET REWARDED FOR DOING POSITIVE THINGS.
9:37:47AM THEY ARE DOING NEGATIVE, VERY NEGATIVE, RACIALLY MOTIVATED
9:37:54AM NASTY THINGS.
9:37:55AM THEY HAVE A HATE, A CERTAIN KIND OF HATE THEY HAVE FOR
9:37:59AM AFRICAN PEOPLE.
9:38:00AM AND THEY EXPRESS IT EVERY OPPORTUNITY THEY HAVE.
9:38:02AM AND IT IS THE HIGH ONES, LIKE ERNIE MUELLER, WHO NEED TO BE
9:38:08AM TERMINATED TO THE LOW ONES, TO THE PARKING DEPARTMENT OVER
9:38:11AM WITH MR. STEFANS WHO NEEDS TO BE TERMINATED.
9:38:17AM THE HIGH ONES DOING HIGH THINGS.
9:38:19AM THE ONES IN BETWEEN DOING IN BETWEEN THINGS, BUT THEY ARE
9:38:22AM ALL NASTY.
9:38:24AM THEY CONSPIRE TO REMOVE THE HOMESTEAD FROM YOUR HOME.
9:38:27AM THEY ARE CONSPIRING TO GIVE YOU CODE VIOLATIONS.
9:38:31AM THEY ARE CONSPIRING TO PUT WHEEL LOCKS ON YOUR AUTOMOBILE
9:38:35AM THAT'S PARKED PERFECTLY LEGAL.
9:38:37AM CONSPIRACIES, COLLUSION, GOING ON, ALL THE TAXPAYERS' MONEY.
9:38:42AM IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DEFINITELY WRONG ABOUT THAT.
9:38:46AM DOING TOO MUCH.
9:38:50AM AND IT'S ALL BASED AROUND THE HATRED OF AFRICAN PEOPLE.
9:38:54AM THE POLICE CHIEF WAS JUST IN HERE, GAVE AN AWARD TO SARITA
9:38:59AM BAKER ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO DOING TOO MUCH.
9:39:04AM GO AND LISTEN TO THE RECORDING.
9:39:08AM WE HAVE IT, WHERE MY WIFE WAS SAVAGELY ATTACKED AS SHE'S
9:39:12AM TRYING TO GET 911 ASSISTANCE FOR SOMEONE AND SHE'S SAVAGELY
9:39:17AM ATTACKED.
9:39:20AM BAKER, TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT, COVERS IT UP.
9:39:22AM WON'T EVEN INTERVIEW MY WIFE.
9:39:25AM DOING TOO MUCH.
9:39:26AM I'M ARRESTED AND TOLD I'M FACING 30 YEARS PRISON SENTENCE
9:39:33AM BECAUSE THEY ARE COVERING UP CRIMES.
9:39:36AM THE SAME POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT COMES IN HERE AND TELL YOU
9:39:39AM HOW THEY COORDINATE THE SAME GARBAGE, DUGAN THAT COMES IN
9:39:43AM HERE AND TELL YOU, OH, WE COORDINATE SOMETHING WITH THE
9:39:46AM STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND WE'RE DOING THIS AND DOING THAT
9:39:49AM AND MY WIFE AND MYSELF ATTACKED AND VIDEOED BUT THEY HAVE A
9:39:53AM HATRED FOR AFRICAN PEOPLE SO THEY SEEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO
9:39:57AM SOMETHING CRAZY.
9:39:57AM THEY ARE DOING TOO MUCH.

9:47:08AM >>HARRY COHEN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.
9:47:10AM I MOVE AN ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR SECOND READING AND
9:47:13AM ADOPTION.
9:47:14AM AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT S-2 FOR
9:47:17AM ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES, SMALL VENUE (CONSUMPTION ON
9:47:21AM PREMISES AND RETAIL PACKAGE SALES FOR OFF PREMISES
9:47:27AM CONSUMPTION) AND MAKING LAWFUL THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE AT
9:47:31AM OR FROM THAT CERTAIN LOT, PLOT, OR TRACT OF LAND LOCATED AT
9:47:34AM 1403 EAST 5th AVENUE, TAMPA, FLORIDA, AS MORE PARTICULARLY
9:47:38AM DESCRIBED IN SECTION 2; ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT ARE REPEALED;
9:47:41AM PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
9:47:42AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION FROM MR. COHEN.
9:47:45AM SECONDED BY MR. MANISCALCO.
9:47:46AM PLEASE RECORD YOUR VOTE.
9:47:55AM >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
9:48:05AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE CAN'T DO THE 10:30.
9:48:08AM DO WE HAVE STAFF HERE TO DO STAFF REPORTS?
9:48:11AM WE'LL GO TO STAFF REPORT, ITEM NUMBER 72.
9:48:20AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: SAL RUGGIERO, NEIGHBORHOOD EMPOWERMENT.
9:48:27AM HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 72.
9:48:29AM THIS CONCERNS THE CLEANUP OF 40th STREET CORRIDOR.
9:48:40AM WE HAVE PEOPLE IN PLACE THAT CLEAN IT, PLUS WE'RE AUGMENTED
9:48:46AM BY A CONTRACTOR.
9:48:47AM THE CONTRACTOR HAS 247 PARCELS OF PROPERTY TO CUT THROUGHOUT
9:48:52AM THE CITY.
9:48:52AM THE BIGGEST SECTION IS ON THIS 40th STREET CORRIDOR.
9:48:58AM IT TAKES MOST OF THE MONTH JUST TO GET THE 247.
9:49:03AM WE COME IN BEHIND THEM WITH A SENIOR INSPECTOR AND INSPECT.
9:49:06AM SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT GIVES YOU A RUN-DOWN OF HOW THE
9:49:12AM CONTRACT WORKS.
9:49:12AM THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THE CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN TIGHT.
9:49:17AM SO THIS YEAR WE LOOKED AT IT AGAIN WHEN THE MOTION WAS MADE,
9:49:21AM AND I SAT DOWN WITH THE SUPERVISOR OF THE AREA AND MY BUDGET
9:49:27AM ADVISOR, AND WE WERE ABLE TO COME UP WITH SOME MORE MONEY TO
9:49:31AM GET THAT AREA FOUR MORE CUTS A YEAR, FOUR MORE DETAILS.
9:49:35AM SO THAT WILL INCREASE IT FROM 9 TO 13.
9:49:41AM WE REACHED OUT TO KEEPING TAMPA BAY BEAUTIFUL, AND THE FIRST
9:49:45AM OF THE YEAR THEY ARE GOING TO PUT THAT STRETCH FROM, I
9:49:48AM THINK, HILLSBOROUGH UP TO THE RIVER UP FOR ADOPTION.
9:49:53AM WE'LL FOLLOW BACK UP WITH THEM AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.
9:49:58AM AND THEN THE THIRD THING IS THAT WE ALWAYS AUGMENT THE AREA.
9:50:03AM SO I THINK IT'S GETTING PRETTY GOOD COVERAGE.
9:50:07AM I PERSONALLY -- I RIDE THE WHOLE CITY A COUPLE OF TIMES A
9:50:10AM WEEK.
9:50:11AM THE SUPERVISOR OF THAT AREA RIDES THAT AREA EVERY DAY.
9:50:16AM WE'RE RESPONSIVE TO THE AREA.
9:50:18AM THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH GROUP UP THERE, WE HAVE AN INSPECTOR
9:50:22AM ASSIGNED TO THEM.
9:50:23AM ANY ISSUES, THEY GO RIGHT TO THAT PERSON, AND WE TRY TO TAKE
9:50:27AM CARE OF IT QUICKLY.
9:50:28AM I THINK OVERALL WE'RE DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB IN THE AREA
9:50:35AM AND THROUGHOUT THE CITY WITH THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE.
9:50:37AM TO RECAP, WE'RE GOING TO GO FROM NINE CUTS A YEAR IN THAT
9:50:42AM PARTICULAR AREA UP TO 13.
9:50:43AM AND I THINK YOU'LL SEE A BETTER IMPROVEMENT THERE.
9:50:49AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. MIRANDA.
9:50:50AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ABOUT A 38% OR 40%, SO 10 TIMES IS 40%,
9:50:55AM SO YOU'RE DOING, YOU'RE INCREASING IT BY 30 SOME PERCENT AS
9:50:58AM FAR AS COVERAGE FOR THAT AREA.
9:50:59AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: YES, SIR.
9:51:01AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ARE YOU SATISFIED THAT THE CONTRACTOR IS
9:51:04AM DOING A GOOD JOB?
9:51:05AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: YES, WE ARE.
9:51:06AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YOU THOUGHT FROM WHAT YOU SAID YOU FEEL
9:51:10AM IT WASN'T THE CONTRACTOR'S FAULT.
9:51:11AM JUST THE AVAILABILITY OF MORE CUTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE BECAUSE
9:51:14AM OF FUNDS.
9:51:14AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: CORRECT.
9:51:15AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU.
9:51:16AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. SUAREZ.
9:51:16AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU.
9:51:18AM THERE ARE TWO ISSUES HERE.
9:51:20AM ONE IS THE NUMBER OF CUTS.
9:51:21AM THAT WAS THE COMPLAINT THAT MANY MEMBERS OF THE FOLKS IN
9:51:23AM THAT CRIME WATCH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION HAD.
9:51:26AM THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE TYPE OF JOB THEY ARE DOING WHEN THEY
9:51:30AM DO THE CUTS.
9:51:31AM WHO IS THE CONTRACTOR WHO DOES THE WORK FOR US?
9:51:34AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: IT'S TCC.
9:51:35AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: TCC?
9:51:37AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: CORRECT.
9:51:39AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WHAT WE GET COMPLAINTS ABOUT ARE THE
9:51:42AM AFTEREFFECTS.
9:51:43AM MISTAKEN, THEY HAVE CUT IT BUT HAVEN'T DONE A GOOD ENOUGH
9:51:47AM JOB TO CLEAR IT AND CLEAN IT.
9:51:48AM WE KEEP GETTING PHOTOGRAPHS SPECIFICALLY AFTER THEY'VE MADE
9:51:51AM THE CUTS THAT AREN'T AS -- I DON'T THINK AS GOOD AS THEY
9:51:54AM PROBABLY SHOULD BE.
9:51:57AM I KNOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T FEEL THAT WAY.
9:52:00AM THAT YOU SAID YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THEIR CUTS.
9:52:03AM ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE JOB THAT THEY ARE DOING?
9:52:06AM OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DISCONNECT BETWEEN WHAT THE
9:52:08AM NEIGHBORHOOD IS TELLING US AND WHAT YOU'RE TELLING US.
9:52:10AM WHY DO YOU THINK THERE IS A DISCONNECT THERE?
9:52:16AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: I HAVE TO KNOW WHEN THE CUT WAS MADE.
9:52:20AM EVEN WITH OUR FOLKS THERE, THEY'LL GO THERE AND THEY'LL
9:52:24AM LITTER PICK AND THE NEXT DAY IT LOOKS LIKE THEY NEVER LITTER
9:52:27AM PICKED UP. WE'RE UP AGAINST THAT.
9:52:31AM BEFORE THAT CONTRACTOR GETS PAID, OUR INSPECTOR -- THE
9:52:36AM INSPECTOR THAT'S ASSIGNED TO THAT CONTRACTOR, HE INSPECTS
9:52:39AM 247 PROPERTIES BEFORE HE SIGNS OFF FOR THAT CONTRACTOR TO
9:52:43AM GET PAID.
9:52:44AM AND HE HAD MADE THE CONTRACTOR GO BACK IF HE'S MISSED
9:52:50AM SOMETHING, IF HE DOESN'T THINK IT'S A GOOD ENOUGH JOB.
9:52:54AM SO I'M SATISFIED WITH WHAT'S GOING ON.
9:52:57AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IT'S TOTALLY SUBJECTIVE.
9:53:00AM NO CHECKLIST THEY GO THROUGH OR DO THEY?
9:53:03AM YOUR INSPECTOR?
9:53:05AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: MY CHECKER? NO.
9:53:07AM HE HAS TO CUT THE GRASS AND LITTER PICK.
9:53:09AM HE GOES BY, AND WHEN THE GENTLEMAN SAYS THEY HAVE DONE
9:53:13AM 40th, WE'RE UP TO THE RIVER, HE'LL GO BY AND CHECK THAT.
9:53:18AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WHEN DOES HE CONTACT OR GET INVOLVED WITH THE
9:53:20AM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE A
9:53:22AM COMPLAINT?
9:53:22AM BECAUSE WE GET THOSE E-MAILS ALL THE TIME COMPLAINING ABOUT
9:53:25AM IT THE NEXT DAY AFTER SUPPOSEDLY THE INSPECTOR HAS GONE
9:53:28AM THERE.
9:53:29AM FOR US TO NOT KNOW THE PROCESS OR NOT KNOW WHEN THEY DID THE
9:53:32AM INSPECTION, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO SAY,
9:53:34AM WELL, THEY'RE NOT DOING THEIR JOB.
9:53:38AM WE WANT TO KNOW, MAYBE A BETTER CHECKLIST WITH THE
9:53:41AM NEIGHBORHOOD BASED ON WHAT THE CUTS ARE.
9:53:43AM ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE IS THAT IF WE KEEP GETTING
9:53:46AM COMPLAINTS FROM NEIGHBORS THAT ARE WATCHING FOR THIS
9:53:49AM PARTICULAR CUT -- NOW, YOU SOLVED ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH
9:53:53AM IS THE NUMBER OF CUTS.
9:53:54AM THAT WAS ONE OF THEIR MAIN COMPLAINTS.
9:53:56AM THE SECOND NOW IS THE JOB THAT THEY DO WHEN THEY DO A CUT.
9:54:03AM THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
9:54:03AM IT MAY BE HAND IN GLOVE WITH EACH OTHER.
9:54:05AM BECAUSE IF YOU'RE DOING MORE CUTS, HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE A
9:54:07AM BETTER JOB.
9:54:08AM I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A PROCESS IN PLACE SO THAT
9:54:11AM THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS ADVISED AS TO WHEN THEY INSPECT AND WHAT
9:54:16AM THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.
9:54:18AM I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD WAY OF DOING IT.
9:54:19AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: LIKE I STATED EARLIER, I WAS AN INSPECTOR
9:54:24AM ASSIGNED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH GROUP THAT TALKS TO THE
9:54:26AM PRESIDENT SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK.
9:54:27AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: RIGHT.
9:54:29AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: SO THAT'S GOOD COMMUNICATION RIGHT THERE.
9:54:31AM IF THAT ISSUE COMES UP, HE RUNS IT UP HIS CHAIN, AND WE
9:54:36AM ADDRESS IT.
9:54:36AM WE HAVE ADDRESSED PROBLEMS, DEFICIENCIES WITH THIS
9:54:41AM CONTRACTOR, AND MY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING BACK TO ME THAT HE
9:54:48AM IS IMPROVING HIS JOB.
9:54:49AM WE WILL MONITOR HIM.
9:54:50AM WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD
9:54:53AM WATCH GROUP, WHICH WE HAVE FOR THE PAST YEAR.
9:54:56AM THE INSPECTOR IS EMBEDDED IN THERE.
9:54:59AM I THINK WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN DO.
9:55:02AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE INSPECTOR?
9:55:05AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: CHRIS FREEMAN.
9:55:06AM YES, SIR.
9:55:08AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
9:55:09AM YOU SAID YOU'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CONTRACTOR
9:55:11AM PREVIOUSLY?
9:55:12AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: WELL, HE WAS A NEW CONTRACTOR.
9:55:15AM MAYBE PROBLEMS IS NOT THE RIGHT WORD.
9:55:16AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: EXPECTATIONS?
9:55:18AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: YES.
9:55:19AM HE'S GOING THROUGH HIS FIRST CYCLE OF THE CONTRACT.
9:55:25AM HE'S BEEN RENEWED.
9:55:28AM THE SENIOR INSPECTOR THAT MONITORS HIM TALKS TO HIM ON A
9:55:33AM WEEKLY BASIS, AND MAKES CORRECTIONS AS WE GO ALONG.
9:55:36AM SO WE'RE SEEING IMPROVEMENT THERE.
9:55:40AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION?
9:55:42AM I THINK WHEN WE DO THE INSPECTIONS I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A
9:55:45AM CHECKLIST SO WE CAN SHARE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS SO THEY
9:55:48AM KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT.
9:55:50AM YOU'RE RIGHT.
9:55:51AM THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU ALREADY CLEANED UP THE AREA AND
9:55:53AM WITHIN TWO DAYS IT'S MESSED UP AGAIN BECAUSE OF LITTERING
9:55:57AM AND OTHER THINGS.
9:55:58AM THE GRASS GROWTH, OBVIOUSLY, IS SOMETHING THAT TAKES OVER A
9:56:02AM CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.
9:56:04AM BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE HOPEFUL IF PART OF THE COMMUNICATION
9:56:07AM IT'S NOT JUST THE PERSON SAYING I'VE INSPECTED AND MEETS MY
9:56:11AM CRITERIA, MY SUBJECTIVE CRITERIA AS TO WHAT'S GOOD, BUT A
9:56:15AM CHECKLIST THAT SAYS THESE ARE THE THINGS WE LOOK FOR AND
9:56:18AM THIS IS WHAT WE'VE MEASURED FOR AND THIS IS WHAT WE THINK IS
9:56:22AM CORRECT.
9:56:22AM I THINK THAT WOULD BE BETTER BECAUSE I THINK THAT TYPE OF
9:56:25AM COMMUNICATION IS MORE THOROUGH AND MORE DIRECT TO WHAT THE
9:56:27AM COMPLAINTS ARE.
9:56:28AM BECAUSE, AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH HE MAY BE EMBEDDED AND GOING
9:56:34AM THROUGH WITH TALKING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, WE GET
9:56:37AM THE COMPLAINTS CONSTANTLY.
9:56:38AM THAT'S WHY WE'RE WONDERING WHAT THE DISCONNECT IS.
9:56:41AM I'M NOT SAYING YOU ALL AREN'T DOING YOUR JOB.
9:56:45AM WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ANSWER IS BETWEEN WHAT WE'RE
9:56:49AM GETTING IN OUR E-MAILS AND COMMUNICATIONS AND WHAT YOU'RE
9:56:54AM COMMUNICATING TO THEM.
9:56:55AM WE NEED TO FIGURE THAT OUT SO WE DON'T HAVE THE ISSUES
9:56:58AM AGAIN.
9:56:59AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: I CAN THROW OUT ONE EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE'RE
9:57:02AM DEALING WITH.
9:57:03AM THEY'LL GO THROUGH AND LITTER PICK AND THE NEXT DAY WE'LL
9:57:06AM GET A CALL SAYING I JUST SAW A GUY THROW A BAG OF CHIPS ON
9:57:10AM THE GROUND, SEND SOMEBODY TO PICK IT UP.
9:57:12AM THOSE ARE UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS.
9:57:13AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I GET THAT.
9:57:16AM THAT'S MY POINT.
9:57:17AM IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST THE CUTS WITH OUR CONTRACTOR,
9:57:21AM HAVING A CHECKLIST TO SAY HERE ARE THE THINGS WE EXPECT FROM
9:57:24AM THE CONTRACTOR AND SHARE THAT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD
9:57:26AM ASSOCIATIONS, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER WAY OF
9:57:31AM DOING IT BECAUSE THAT EXPECTATION OF SOMETHING JUST THREW
9:57:34AM OUT THE BAG OF CHIPS ONTO THE ROAD, THEN THEY'LL KNOW,
9:57:37AM THAT'S NOT PART OF OUR CHECKLIST.
9:57:39AM THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THINGS, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY
9:57:41AM DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY A WELL-TRAVELED ROAD LIKE 40th, THAT
9:57:46AM YOU'LL BE ABLE TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LITTERING.
9:57:49AM IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE CITY.
9:57:51AM IT HAPPENS EVERYWHERE BUT HAPPENS A LOT MORE IN AREAS LIKE
9:57:54AM WEST TAMPA, EAST TAMPA AND PARTS OF NORTH TAMPA AND WE WANT
9:57:57AM TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T CONTINUE.
9:57:59AM THAT IS A CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE THING.
9:58:00AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: CORRECT.
9:58:02AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I KNOW YOU CAN'T BE DETERMINED TO DO ALL THAT
9:58:05AM STUFF.
9:58:06AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: NO.
9:58:06AM WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THAT.
9:58:08AM THAT IS A WHOLE PROCESS THAT WOULD HAVE TO GET TO CHILDREN
9:58:13AM TO CHANGE THAT.
9:58:14AM WITH REGARD TO YOUR SUGGESTION, WE CAN IMPLEMENT THAT.
9:58:19AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY OF DOING
9:58:21AM THAT, IF YOU DON'T MIND PUTTING THAT IN PLACE SO ALL THE
9:58:25AM EXPECTATIONS FOR TCC OR ANY OTHER CONTRACTOR WE HAVE AND
9:58:33AM WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
9:58:33AM SO WHEN WE LOOK AT IT AND GET A COMPLAINT, WE KNOW WHETHER
9:58:36AM OR NOT YOU'VE DONE WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
9:58:38AM WITH TIME FRAMES BASED ON WHEN THE INSPECTOR GOES IN AND
9:58:43AM WHAT THE EXPECTATION IS AFTERWARDS.
9:58:45AM IF THEY DO A JOB ON THURSDAY AND YOUR INSPECTOR COMES IN AT
9:58:48AM THE END OF THE DAY OR THE NEXT DAY OR NEXT WEEK, WE KNOW
9:58:53AM WHAT THE TIME FRAME DIFFERENCE IS.
9:58:54AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: SURE, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
9:58:57AM WILL YOU GIVE ME TO THE FIRST OF THE YEAR TO IMPLEMENT THAT?
9:59:00AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OH, ABSOLUTELY.
9:59:01AM I WANTED IT ON DECEMBER 25th, BUT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
9:59:03AM BE ABLE TO DO THAT, I THINK AFTER THE NEW YEAR WILL BE FINE.
9:59:06AM AND THANKS FOR ASKING, BY THE WAY.
9:59:08AM I APPRECIATE THAT.
9:59:09AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: WE CAN IMPLEMENT IT, BUT I WANT THE
9:59:13AM SUPERVISOR TO BE IN ON THE CONVERSATION AND CURRENTLY ON
9:59:15AM VACATION.
9:59:16AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IF YOU DON'T MIND DOING THAT AND THEN
9:59:18AM COMMUNICATING BACK TO US.
9:59:20AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'LL DO.
9:59:21AM WE'LL SHOOT YOU AN E-MAIL WITH THAT AND YOU CAN GO THROUGH
9:59:23AM IT AND MAKE CHANGES IF YOU WANT.
9:59:24AM WE'LL GET IT GOING FOR YOU.
9:59:27AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU.
9:59:28AM I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND MERRY CHRISTMAS.
9:59:30AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WHAT IS THE CONTRACTOR'S JOB DESCRIPTION?
9:59:36AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: HE CUTS 247 PARCELS.
9:59:40AM SOME OF THEM ARE JUST CORNERS OF A STREET, BUT HE'LL CUT THE
9:59:44AM GRASS AND THEN LITTER PICK ANYTHING THAT'S ON THAT PARCEL.
9:59:49AM SO HE HAS TO DO 247 THROUGHOUT THE CITY, BUT THE MAJORITY OF
9:59:54AM THEM ARE ON 40th STREET.
9:59:56AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WHAT STRETCH OF 40th?
9:59:59AM START AT HILLSBOROUGH OR START AT HANNA?
10:00:07AM WHERE DOES IT START ON 40th?
10:00:31AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: I CAN PUT THIS UP FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO SEE
10:00:36AM IT.
10:00:36AM THERE'S PROBABLY NINE PAGES OF WHAT HE CUTS.
10:00:39AM >>FRANK REDDICK: JUST FOR 40th STREET.
10:00:42AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: THERE ARE 75 PARCELS ON 40th STREET.
10:00:47AM STARTS 5709 NORTH 40th.
10:00:50AM AND THEN ENDS UP AROUND LAKESHORE UP IN THAT AREA.
10:00:58AM >>FRANK REDDICK: SO THE STARTING POINT WOULD BE AFTER
10:01:04AM HILLSBOROUGH.
10:01:04AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: CORRECT.
10:01:05AM JUST NORTH OF HILLSBOROUGH, YES.
10:01:09AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
10:01:10AM ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
10:01:11AM THANK YOU.
10:01:12AM >>SAL RUGGIERO: THANK YOU.
10:01:16AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE GO TO ITEM NUMBER 73.
10:01:30AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:01:31AM OCEA WYNN, DEPARTMENT OF LOGISTICS AND ASSET MANAGEMENT.
10:01:37AM I WAS ASKED TO REPORT TODAY ON THE BABY CHANGING STATIONS
10:01:42AM WITHIN THE PUBLIC ACCESS RESTROOMS WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:01:45AM THE FACILITY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT HAS ASSESSED 143 PUBLIC
10:01:59AM ACCESS RESTROOMS WITHIN THE CITY.
10:02:01AM OUT OF THE 143, 52 OF THOSE RESTROOMS ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH
10:02:09AM TO INSTALL THE BABY-CHANGING STATIONS.
10:02:12AM SO WITH THE REMAINING ONES THAT ARE ABLE, THAT WE CAN
10:02:18AM INSTALL THE BABY-CHANGING STATIONS, 31 OF THOSE LOCATIONS
10:02:21AM HAVE ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED, HAVE CHANGING STATIONS IN MEN
10:02:27AM AND IN WOMEN'S AND, IN SOME CASES, UNISEX RESTROOMS.
10:02:31AM SO THAT LEAVES US WITH -- WE HAVE 60 LOCATIONS THAT ARE
10:02:41AM PENDING INSTALLATION.
10:02:43AM AND OUT OF THE 60 LOCATIONS THAT ARE PENDING THE
10:02:47AM INSTALLATION, WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 150 BABY CHANGING
10:02:54AM STATIONS THAT NEED TO BE INSTALLED.
10:02:58AM SO THE NUMBER OF CHANGING STATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED,
10:03:04AM 68.
10:03:05AM THE TOTAL NUMBER IN THE LADIES RESTROOMS ARE 32.
10:03:10AM THE TOTAL NUMBER IN THE MEN'S RESTROOM IS 28, AND THE TOTAL
10:03:15AM NUMBER IN THE UNISEX RESTROOMS ARE 8.
10:03:18AM SO THAT LEAVES US WITH APPROXIMATELY 150 CHANGING STATIONS
10:03:31AM THAT ARE REMAINING TO BE INSTALLED THAT ARE PENDING.
10:03:35AM JUST TO PROVIDE YOU SOME INFORMATION ON THE COSTS OF THE
10:03:39AM REMAINING 150 CHANGING STATIONS, WE HAVE FOR THE 150, FOR
10:03:46AM THE CHANGING STATIONS IN AND OF THEMSELVES, WE HAVE $33,750,
10:03:52AM JUST TO PURCHASE THE CHANGING STATIONS.
10:03:54AM THE SIGNAGE FOR THE CHANGING STATIONS, SO THIS IS THE
10:03:59AM SIGNAGE TO LET THE PARENTS KNOW OR THE GUARDIANS KNOW THAT
10:04:03AM THE CHANGING STATIONS ARE IN THIS LOCATION AND THIS
10:04:06AM RESTROOM, THAT COST IS ABOUT $8,000.
10:04:10AM AND THEN THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL COST THAT WE ESTIMATED ABOUT
10:04:14AM $22,000 FOR THE LABOR, THE LABOR TO INSTALL THOSE.
10:04:17AM FOR THE REMAINING 150 CHANGING STATIONS THAT NEED TO BE
10:04:23AM INSTALLED, WE ARE ANTICIPATING APPROXIMATELY $64,000.
10:04:28AM FOR THOSE LOCATIONS.
10:04:29AM AT THIS POINT, I'M HERE TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY
10:04:36AM HAVE.
10:04:42AM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS.
10:04:45AM I READ IN THE PAPER ABOUT A YOUNG MAN BY THE NAME OF DANTE
10:04:49AM PALMER IN JACKSONVILLE WHO HAD GOTTEN A LOT OF ATTENTION OF
10:04:57AM A PHOTOGRAPH HE TOOK OF HIMSELF CHANGING HIS SON, I BELIEVE
10:05:00AM IT WAS, IN A STATION WHERE THERE WASN'T A PROPER CHANGING
10:05:04AM STATION THERE FOR MEN TO USE.
10:05:05AM MYSELF, I'M A SINGLE FATHER WITH SHARED CUSTODY OF MY SON
10:05:12AM AND I HAVE MEMORIES OF GOING THROUGH THAT MYSELF, LOOKING
10:05:15AM FOR A PLACE FOR MY SON BACK WHEN HE WAS ONE AND A HALF,
10:05:18AM ONE-YEAR-OLD, ET CETERA, TO FIND HIM A PLACE TO CHANGE AND
10:05:22AM COMING UP WITH VERY FEW SOLUTIONS IN THAT REGARD.
10:05:25AM I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN THE IDEA THAT IF BY WALKING JUST A FEW
10:05:29AM FEET THAT MEANS THAT YOU CAN -- [NO ENCODER]
10:05:34AM -- REFLECT THAT.
10:05:58AM I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION AFTER, IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO
10:06:02AM TALK ON NEW CONSTRUCTION ON THIS ISSUE, BUT I WANTED TO
10:06:05AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE WORK YOU'VE DONE ON THIS.
10:06:09AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. SUAREZ.
10:06:10AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU, CHAIR.
10:06:13AM WHAT WAS THE BUDGET AGAIN FOR THE NUMBER OF -- TO PUT THESE
10:06:16AM INTO HOW MANY FACILITIES AGAIN?
10:06:18AM COULD YOU GIVE ME THAT NUMBER?
10:06:21AM >> NOT THE BUDGET.
10:06:22AM JUST THE INFORMATION AND COST.
10:06:23AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD COST.
10:06:25AM IT'S NOT CURRENTLY IN THE BUDGET, RIGHT?
10:06:27AM >> THAT IS CORRECT.
10:06:28AM THE TOTAL COST IS ABOUT 64,000.
10:06:32AM $64,034.
10:06:34AM THAT COST INCLUDES THE COST OF THE TANGIBLE STATIONS, THE
10:06:41AM TABLES, THE COST FOR THE SIGNAGE, THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE,
10:06:46AM AS WELL AS THE COST FOR THE LABOR TO INSTALL.
10:06:51AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: HOW MANY STATIONS WOULD THAT CREATE OR HOW
10:06:54AM MANY BATHROOMS, I GUESS, PROBABLY THE BEST WAY OF DOING IT?
10:06:59AM >> THAT WOULD BE 150 STATIONS, 150 -- WELL, 150 TABLES TO GO
10:07:05AM INTO 60 -- APPROXIMATELY 60 BATHROOMS.
10:07:10AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I'M SORRY.
10:07:12AM I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED.
10:07:14AM WE'LL HAVE ONE PER BATHROOM, CORRECT?
10:07:18AM >> ONE PER BATHROOM AND UNISEX BATHROOMS AS WELL.
10:07:25AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
10:07:26AM ARE ALL THE WOMEN BATHROOMS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THESE?
10:07:31AM >> NO, SIR.
10:07:31AM ALL OF THE WOMEN BATHROOMS ARE NOT ALREADY EQUIPPED.
10:07:35AM I HAVE THE LOCATIONS OF WHERE WE DO HAVE THEM.
10:07:40AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THE 150 YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS FOR ALL
10:07:42AM BATHROOMS THAT WE HAVE COMING FORWARD, CORRECT?
10:07:45AM NOT JUST FOR MEN.
10:07:48AM THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING, THE QUESTION OF THE ORIGINAL
10:07:51AM MOTION WAS ABOUT CHANGING TABLES IN MEN'S BATHROOMS.
10:07:55AM IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY MEN
10:07:59AM BATHROOM, FEMALE BATHROOMS, YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
10:08:03AM I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER IS BECAUSE THAT MAKES A
10:08:07AM DIFFERENCE.
10:08:08AM >> RIGHT.
10:08:09AM I DON'T HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN, BUT THE 150 INCLUDES MEN,
10:08:13AM WOMEN, AND UNISEX.
10:08:15AM LET'S SAY WE ARE A LOCATION THAT HAS MEN'S AND WOMEN'S, THEY
10:08:21AM EACH WILL GET ONE.
10:08:21AM IF WE ARE AT LOCATIONS THAT HAVE MULTIPLE RESTROOMS, THEN
10:08:27AM THEY EACH WILL GET ONE.
10:08:29AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 150 LOCATIONS,
10:08:31AM ESSENTIALLY THEN, RIGHT?
10:08:32AM BECAUSE LET'S SAY IF THERE'S A WOMEN'S BATHROOM ALREADY THAT
10:08:37AM HAS ONE, WE'LL PUT ONE IN THE MEN'S BATHROOM AT THE SAME
10:08:41AM LOCATION, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?
10:08:43AM >> THAT IS CORRECT.
10:08:43AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: TALKING ABOUT 150 LOCATIONS, $64,000 AND
10:08:48AM CHANGE TO DO ALL THOSE.
10:08:50AM >> THAT IS CORRECT.
10:08:52AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: HOW MANY LOCATIONS DO WE CURRENTLY HAVE THAT
10:08:56AM HAVE THESE FACILITIES?
10:08:58AM >> SO THE CURRENT NUMBER -- I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT
10:09:00AM MIXING APPLES AND ORANGES HERE.
10:09:03AM LOCATIONS VERSUS STATIONS, RESTROOM INSTALLATIONS.
10:09:10AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THE QUESTION IS THAT WE MAY ALREADY HAVE 150
10:09:16AM LOCATIONS THAT HAVE CHANGING TABLES BUT ONLY IN UNISEX OR
10:09:19AM FEMALE BATHROOMS.
10:09:20AM WHAT I'M SAYING IS, HOW MANY MORE DO WE NEED TO ADD TO MAKE
10:09:26AM IT FULLY EQUIP AND WILL THIS FULLY EQUIP US?
10:09:32AM THE ESSENCE IS NOT TO TARGET JUST MALE BATHROOMS BUT HAVE
10:09:35AM FACILITIES FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR KID NO
10:09:37AM MATTER WHAT.
10:09:39AM >> YES.
10:09:39AM TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, FOR THE REMAINING LOCATIONS THAT WE
10:09:45AM ARE PENDING INSTALLATION, THOSE ARE RESTROOM AREAS, THOSE
10:09:49AM ARE 60 LOCATIONS. PARKS AND REC CENTER OR WHAT HAVE YOU, 60
10:09:57AM LOCATIONS.
10:09:59AM ANY PUBLIC ACCESS.
10:10:00AM OUT OF THE 60 LOCATIONS, WE'VE IDENTIFIED 150 STATIONS OR
10:10:06AM CHANGING STATIONS TO GO INTO THOSE 60 LOCATIONS.
10:10:11AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IF WE DO THE 150 STATIONS WILL IT BE COMPLETE
10:10:15AM IN TERMS OF THE -- 100% COMPLETELY HAVING CHANGING STATIONS
10:10:20AM IN EACH ONE OF OUR RESTROOMS OR NOT?
10:10:22AM >> YES, SIR, IN THE ONES WHERE WE CAN PUT THEM.
10:10:24AM IF THE RESTROOMS ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THEM, YES,
10:10:28AM THAT WILL COMPLETE THEM.
10:10:29AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: TERRIFIC.
10:10:30AM I APPRECIATE IT.
10:10:31AM THANKS FOR THE ANSWERS.
10:10:32AM >> YES, SIR.
10:10:32AM >>FRANK REDDICK: LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
10:10:36AM YOU SPOKE OF LABOR COSTS.
10:10:38AM I THINK YOU SAID AROUND $8,000.
10:10:42AM >> NO, SIR.
10:10:43AM YES.
10:10:46AM THE SIGNAGE --
10:10:47AM >>FRANK REDDICK: SOUNDED LIKE YOU SAID $8,000 FOR LABOR
10:10:50AM COSTS OR SOMETHING.
10:10:51AM >> NO, SIR.
10:10:51AM I SAID THE SIGNAGE WAS $8,000.
10:10:54AM THE LABOR COST WAS $22,000.
10:10:56AM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
10:10:57AM 22,000.
10:10:58AM WHY IS THERE A $22,000 LABOR COST AND CITY EMPLOYEES NOT
10:11:07AM GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THE JOB?
10:11:12AM >> THE REASON WE INCLUDED THE LABOR COST IS THAT THIS COST
10:11:15AM -- THIS WAS NOT PART OF WHAT WE WERE ALREADY DOING.
10:11:19AM WE WOULD BE TAKING AWAY FROM ANOTHER PROJECT OR AREA THAT
10:11:22AM THE FACILITY TECHNICIANS ARE ALREADY WORKING ON.
10:11:27AM SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THERE IS AN ASSOCIATED COST
10:11:33AM FOR SOMETHING NOT DONE BECAUSE WE'RE ADDING SOMETHING ELSE
10:11:36AM THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN INSTALLING THE STATIONS.
10:11:38AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WOULDN'T IT BE THE ONES THAT HAVE THE CITY
10:11:43AM FACILITY MAINTENANCE TEAM TO INSTALL THESE INSTEAD OF DOING
10:11:47AM OUTSIDE, HIRING SOMEBODY FROM THE OUTSIDE TO DO IT?
10:11:50AM >> YES, SIR.
10:11:51AM SO THE INSTALLATION WILL BE DONE INTERNALLY WITH US.
10:11:55AM I WANTED TO MAKE SURE COUNCIL UNDERSTOOD THERE WAS AN
10:11:58AM ASSOCIATED COST FOR WORK -- BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW PROJECT
10:12:02AM AND INSTALLATION THAT WILL BE DONE THERE IS AN ASSOCIATED
10:12:06AM COST OF SOMETHING ELSE NOT GETTING DONE.
10:12:09AM WE'LL GET THE OTHER WORK DONE, BUT THERE IS LABOR ASSOCIATED
10:12:12AM WITH GETTING THE PROJECT DONE.
10:12:17AM >>FRANK REDDICK: FOR ME TO BE CLEAR, THE ORIGINAL INTENT IS
10:12:22AM TO HAVE CITY STAFF, CITY EMPLOYEES FROM THE CITY MAINTENANCE
10:12:30AM DEPARTMENT TO INSTALL.
10:12:33AM >> THAT IS CORRECT.
10:12:37AM >>FRANK REDDICK: THE $22,000 IS JUST A SECURE FUNDING JUST
10:12:46AM IN CASE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO IT --
10:12:50AM >> THAT IS CORRECT, YES, SIR.
10:12:52AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
10:12:55AM >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR, MR. CHAIR.
10:12:57AM OBVIOUSLY, I THINK WE ALL WOULD ENCOURAGE THE ADMINISTRATION
10:12:59AM AND WHATEVER NEXT ADMINISTRATION WOULD COME AFTER THIS
10:13:03AM PRESENT ONE TO COMPLETE THAT JOB WITH REGARDS TO THE
10:13:08AM BUILDINGS THAT DON'T HAVE CHANGING STATIONS.
10:13:12AM WHEN IT COMES TO NEW CONSTRUCTION, I THINK IT IS A
10:13:15AM NO-BRAINER, QUITE FRANKLY.
10:13:16AM SO I WOULD LIKE TO MOTION TO HAVE THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT
10:13:17AM RETURN ON FEBRUARY 21ST, 2019, TO MAKE A DRAFT ORDINANCE FOR
10:13:19AM ALL FUTURE NEW CONSTRUCTION ON CITY OF TAMPA FACILITIES TO
10:13:23AM CONTAIN A CHANGING STATION IN BOTH MEN AND WOMEN'S
10:13:25AM RESTROOMS.
10:13:26AM >>FRANK REDDICK: GOT A MOTION FROM MR. VIERA, SECONDED BY
10:13:30AM MR. MANISCALCO.
10:13:31AM ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE MOTION?
10:13:32AM ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
10:13:34AM THOSE OPPOSED?
10:13:35AM WE GO TO ITEM 74.
10:13:47AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: GOOD MORNING.
10:13:48AM BOB McDONAUGH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
10:13:50AM THIS IS CONCERNING THE PACE PROGRAM.
10:13:52AM AGAIN, WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IMPROVEMENTS AND PERHAPS
10:13:58AM SOME LEGISLATION TO PROTECT CONSUMERS, AND WE STILL HAVEN'T
10:14:01AM SEEN ANYTHING.
10:14:02AM SO WE WILL NOT ADVOCATE FOR INSTALLING THE PACE PROGRAM.
10:14:06AM UP IN PASCO COUNTY, THE TAX COLLECTOR HAS PROBABLY BEEN THE
10:14:13AM STRONGEST ADVOCATE FOR THE CONSUMER, AND HE JUST HAD TO PUSH
10:14:16AM ONE OF THE FIVE SUPPLIERS OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT
10:14:18AM COMPLIANT.
10:14:18AM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS REVISITING THEIR CERTIFICATION OF THE
10:14:22AM PROGRAM IN JANUARY THAT CONTINUES TO BE LOTS AND LOTS OF
10:14:28AM CONSUMER ISSUES WITH THIS.
10:14:29AM SO WE ARE NOT INCLINED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
10:14:34AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE HAD DISCUSSED ABOUT DOING THIS ON A
10:14:37AM TRIAL BASIS.
10:14:40AM AND YOU STILL FEEL YOUR POSITION THAT YOU JUST STATED?
10:14:43AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: A TRIAL?
10:14:44AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DOING IT ON A TRIAL
10:14:48AM BASIS.
10:14:48AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: NO, SIR.
10:14:49AM >>FRANK REDDICK: YOUR POSITION IS STILL THE SAME?
10:14:52AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN DOING A TRIAL
10:14:54AM MOSTLY.
10:14:55AM >>FRANK REDDICK: YOU TALK ABOUT PASCO COUNTY, YOU SAY ONE
10:14:57AM OUT OF FIVE.
10:14:57AM THAT MEANS FOUR OTHERS ARE STILL THERE.
10:14:59AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: AND THEY ARE STILL HAVING CONTINUED
10:15:02AM PROBLEMS WITH CONSUMERS NOT GETTING WHAT THEY FEEL IS A FAIR
10:15:06AM SHAKE.
10:15:06AM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, AS I SAID, IS REVISITING THIS ISSUE
10:15:10AM AGAIN BECAUSE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THEY HAVE FROM
10:15:13AM CONSUMERS.
10:15:14AM >>FRANK REDDICK: BUT THEY HAVEN'T TERMINATED IT.
10:15:16AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: NOT YET.
10:15:17AM THEY ARE MEETING IN JANUARY TO DISCUSS THAT ISSUE.
10:15:19AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WHAT ARE THE COMPLAINTS THEY ARE RECEIVING?
10:15:22AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: SIR?
10:15:22AM >>FRANK REDDICK: WHAT COMPLAINTS ARE THEY RECEIVING?
10:15:25AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: PEOPLE ARE EITHER UNAWARE OF THE TOTAL COST
10:15:27AM OF THE PROJECT OR CONCERNED WHEN THEY FINALLY GET THEIR TAX
10:15:33AM BILLS AND REALIZE THAT THEY PERHAPS MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO
10:15:38AM AFFORD THE TAXES AND THE BILLS THEY HAVE GOTTEN.
10:15:41AM >>FRANK REDDICK: THE STATEMENT YOU MADE TODAY, YOU'RE SAYING
10:15:45AM THAT THE CITY POSITION IS DO NOT WISH TO MOVE FORWARD.
10:15:49AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: THAT'S CORRECT.
10:15:50AM >>FRANK REDDICK: THAT'S SUPPORTED BY THE MAYOR?
10:15:52AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: THAT'S CORRECT.
10:15:57AM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
10:15:58AM ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS?
10:16:00AM WE THANK YOU, SIR.
10:16:06AM >>BOB McDONAUGH: THANK YOU.
10:16:13AM >>FRANK REDDICK: THE NEXT ITEMS AREN'T UNTIL 10:30.

10:36:08AM AS A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, YOUR SUBDIVISION CODE
10:36:12AM REQUIRES THAT STREETLIGHTS BE INSTALLED FOR ALL NEW
10:36:15AM DEVELOPMENT.
10:36:15AM IT ALSO PROVIDES IN ORDER TO FUND THAT, THERE CAN BE AN

10:36:21AM ONLY TO THE BENEFITED PROPERTY WHICH WOULD BE THE PROPERTY
10:36:24AM OWNED BY LENNAR.
10:36:25AM IT ALSO REQUIRES THAT WE GO THROUGH WHAT IS CALLED THE
10:36:31AM UNIFORM METHOD.
10:36:32AM THERE IS A STATUTORY PROCESS FOR THAT.
10:36:34AM IT REQUIRES TWO HEARINGS.

10:43:41AM THE MAJORITY OF THE SITE ROUGHLY 39.11 ACRES IS THAT
10:43:46AM REGIONAL MIXED-USE 100, THE MOST INTENSIVE CATEGORY ALLOWED
10:43:50AM OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN.
10:43:51AM THE NEXT AREA, THIS BROWN TO THE NORTH, IS THAT RESIDENTIAL
10:43:56AM 35, APPROXIMATELY 8.48 ACRES OF THE SITE IS RESIDENTIAL 35.
10:44:01AM AND THEN ALONG NORTH TAMPA STREET, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S SOME
10:44:05AM RED THERE.
10:44:06AM ALL THAT RED IS THAT COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 FUTURE LAND USE
10:44:11AM CATEGORY.
10:44:11AM THE PROPOSED ADDITIONAL USES THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
10:44:19AM FOUND WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT
10:44:21AM AS ENCOURAGED THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES.
10:44:24AM THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE ALSO CONTAINS
10:44:27AM DESIGN GUIDELINES PROVIDING FOR AN URBAN-STYLE DEVELOPMENT
10:44:30AM WITH BUILDINGS PLACED CLOSE TO THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK,
10:44:33AM ACTIVATED GROUND FLOOR USES AND STRUCTURED PARKING.
10:44:36AM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS SUPPORTIVE OF A DESIGN PATTERN
10:44:39AM THAT PROMOTES WALKING AND TRANSIT USES.
10:44:42AM THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN
10:44:45AM VILLAGE.
10:44:45AM DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN MULTIPLE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
10:44:49AM MAY PROPORTIONALLY WEIGH THE FLOOR AREA RATIO OVER THE
10:44:54AM ENTIRE SITE AND PERMITTED USES WITHIN EACH OF THE LAND USE
10:44:56AM PLAN CATEGORIES MAY BE CONSIDERED ANYWHERE ON-SITE THROUGH
10:45:01AM AN APPROVED PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING.
10:45:03AM THE DEVELOPMENT IS UTILIZING THIS OPTION ESPECIALLY WITHIN
10:45:09AM TRACT ONE.
10:45:09AM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS AND THE ADOPTED POLICIES
10:45:14AM WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
10:45:17AM FINDS THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE CONSISTENT
10:45:19AM WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE IMAGINE 2040 TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
10:45:23AM PLAN.
10:45:23AM THANK YOU.

10:46:03AM THERE WAS A SEPARATE DESIGN BOOK WHICH WAS THE HEIGHTS
10:46:06AM COMMUNITY DESIGN STANDARDS, WHICH WAS SUBMITTED AT THE LAST
10:46:10AM APPROVAL.
10:46:11AM WHAT THIS APPROVAL HAS DONE, THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THE SITE
10:46:13AM PLAN THAT YOU HAVE NOW ON PAGES 4 AND 5 OF THAT SITE PLAN IT
10:46:17AM COMBINES THE DESIGN STANDARDS FROM THAT VISION BOOK SO WE NO
10:46:21AM LONGER HAVE A SEPARATE DOCUMENT ALONG WITH THE SITE PLAN.
10:46:23AM THE SITE PLAN CONTAINS THE DOCUMENT WITHIN IT.
10:46:26AM YOU'VE SEEN THE AERIAL OF THE BOUNDARY OF THE PROJECT AREA
10:46:33AM WITH BOULEVARD TO THE WEST.
10:46:34AM THIS IS ROSS, AND THEN THE EAST BOUNDARY, OF COURSE, JOGS
10:46:38AM ALONG OLA AND THEN GOES TO TAMPA STREET AND THEN THE RIVER
10:46:42AM IS TO THE SOUTH.
10:46:42AM AND THIS IS THE ZONING ATLAS FOR THE AREA.
10:46:45AM WITH THE PDA, SOME SPOTS OF RM-24 PREVIOUSLY AND WITH THE
10:46:52AM COMMERCIAL LOCATED ALONG TAMPA STREET.
10:46:53AM THIS IS THE NORTHEAST BOUNDARY OF THE SITE.
10:46:59AM THIS IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF TAMPA AND PALM.
10:47:03AM THAT'S LOOKING SOUTH.
10:47:05AM THIS IS THE VIEW LOOKING FROM TAMPA.
10:47:09AM THIS IS JUST LOOKING WEST ON PALM WITH THE SITE OVER TO THE
10:47:15AM LEFT.
10:47:15AM THIS IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF PALM AND HIGHLAND.
10:47:20AM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHWEST.
10:47:21AM THIS IS MORE SO IN THE CENTER OF THE OVERALL PROJECT AREA.
10:47:26AM THIS IS ON HIGHLAND.
10:47:27AM THIS IS LOOKING WEST.
10:47:28AM THIS IS THE ARMATURE WORK.
10:47:30AM THIS IS THE NORTH PORTION OF THE SITE.
10:47:34AM THIS IS ON OLA JUST NORTH OF PALM.
10:47:36AM THAT'S GOING DOWN A LITTLE FARTHER ON THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY.
10:47:40AM THAT'S LOOKING WEST ON ROSS FROM OLA.
10:47:43AM THEN WE MOVE OVER AND THAT'S PART OF THE WEST BOUNDARY OF
10:47:47AM THE SITE.
10:47:47AM THAT'S AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF GARCIA AND PALM LOOKING
10:47:50AM SOUTH.
10:47:51AM THIS IS THE NORTHWEST BOUNDARY THAT'S LOOKING WEST TO
10:47:55AM BOULEVARD.
10:47:58AM THAT'S ANOTHER VIEW THAT'S LOOKING SOUTH.
10:48:02AM AND THAT'S WEST OF THE SITE ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF
10:48:05AM BOULEVARD AND PALM.
10:48:06AM COUNCIL, STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST.
10:48:12AM WE FIND IT CONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA LAND
10:48:15AM DEVELOPMENT CODE.
10:48:16AM IF IT IS THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE
10:48:18AM APPLICATION, PLEASE INCLUDE IN THE MOTION THAT THE REQUIRED
10:48:21AM MODIFICATIONS AS OUTLINED IN THE ATTACHED REZ 18-119 SITE
10:48:28AM PLAN REVISION SHEET ARE TO BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND
10:48:31AM SECOND READING.
10:48:31AM I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
10:48:33AM >>FRANK REDDICK: [MICROPHONE NOT ON]
10:48:41AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:48:41AM MY NAME IS ADAM HARDEN.
10:48:45AM 701 SOUTH HOWARD, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33606.
10:48:49AM FIRST, I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO LaCHONE DOCK AND
10:48:54AM CATHERINE COYLE FOR THEIR DILIGENT EFFORT ON GETTING THIS
10:48:59AM APPLICATION MOVED FORWARD AND KRISTIN MORA'S WORK ON THE
10:49:03AM DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT NEXT, MINOR
10:49:06AM MODIFICATIONS TO THAT.
10:49:07AM I'M HERE TODAY AS PRINCIPAL OF SOHO CAPITAL AND RIVERSIDE
10:49:11AM HEIGHTS.
10:49:12AM WE'RE THE MASTER DEVELOPER FOR THE HEIGHTS OF TAMPA PROJECT.
10:49:15AM I THINK WE'RE ALSO A PARTY TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY FOR
10:49:21AM MASTER INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE HEIGHTS DEVELOPMENT, WHICH
10:49:24AM INCLUDES EXTENSION OF THE RIVERWALK, REMEDIATION OF THREE
10:49:28AM BROWNFIELDS, WHICH ARE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROJECT,
10:49:33AM RECONFIGURATION OF THE ROAD GRID, RELOCATION OF THE 67
10:49:36AM KILOVOLT TRANSMISSION LINES FROM OUT OF THE CENTER OF THE
10:49:41AM PROJECT, PALM AVENUE AND HIGHLAND.
10:49:44AM AND ADDITIONALLY INSTALLATION OF A REGIONAL LIFT STATION
10:49:51AM WHICH SERVES THE HEIGHTS PROJECT AND A GOOD PORTION OF THE
10:49:57AM UPHILL NEIGHBORHOODS.
10:49:57AM AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS A 50-ACRE AREA-WIDE REZONING.
10:50:05AM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE ZONING, SO IT BASICALLY SETS
10:50:09AM OVERARCHING MAXIMUM DENSITY AND INTENSITY GUIDELINES, SETS
10:50:12AM DESIGN STANDARDS.
10:50:14AM AND THE SUBSEQUENT INCREMENTAL PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT IS
10:50:17AM APPROVED BY STAFF, REVIEWED AGAINST THE ADOPTED PDA.
10:50:23AM WE CURRENTLY HAVE COMPLETED TWO INCREMENTS OF DEVELOPMENT,
10:50:28AM WHICH ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OFFICE BUILDING THAT WE'RE
10:50:31AM IN AT 220 WEST 7th.
10:50:34AM THE PEARL APARTMENTS WHICH IS 314 RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND
10:50:39AM 28,500 SQUARE FEET OF NEIGHBORHOOD-SERVING RETAIL.
10:50:44AM WE'RE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE PEARL IS NOW 90% OCCUPIED AND
10:50:47AM THEN ALL THE RETAILERS LEASED EXCEPT FOR ONE SPACE.
10:50:50AM THE RETAIL IS CURRENTLY BEING BUILT OUT.
10:50:54AM THE ARMATURE WORKS, HOPEFULLY YOU-ALL HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO
10:50:58AM COME BY AND VISIT IT.
10:50:59AM WE ENVISIONED IT AS BEING THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE OVERALL
10:51:03AM DEVELOPMENT.
10:51:06AM 72,000-SQUARE-FOOT MIXED-USE BUILDING.
10:51:10AM COMPONENTS OF THAT INCLUDE 16 LOCAL VENDORS WHO WE CURATED.
10:51:17AM WE APPROACHED THEM AND SAID, HEY, WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE IS
10:51:20AM COOL.
10:51:21AM WE FEEL LIKE YOU ADD SOMETHING TO TAMPA, AND WE'D LIKE TO
10:51:23AM SEE IF YOU WOULD PARTICIPATE IN OUR MARKET HALL.
10:51:26AM ADDITIONALLY, THE BUILDING HAS FOUR EVENT SPACES.
10:51:28AM WE CALL IT GATHERING TAMPA, LLC.
10:51:40AM WE HAVE MYRIAD OF EVENTS.
10:51:42AM FOUR TO SIX PER DAY.
10:51:43AM A GREAT CHANCE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH DOWNTOWN,
10:51:46AM THE RIVERWALK.
10:51:47AM AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
10:51:50AM ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE TWO KIND OF FLAGSHIP RESTAURANTS ON
10:51:53AM THE CORNERS OF THE BUILDING.
10:51:55AM ONE IS STEELBACH, AND THE OTHER -- I THINK IT'S OUT THERE
10:51:59AM NOW -- IT WILL BE CALLED OAK & OLA.
10:52:03AM GREAT PEOPLE.
10:52:06AM THEY REALLY GET OUR VISION FOR WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH
10:52:10AM THERE.
10:52:11AM THEY ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WILL HOPEFULLY BE OPEN IN
10:52:12AM THE NEXT 90 DAYS.
10:52:13AM THERE IS A COLLABORATIVE WORK SPACE UPSTAIRS IN THE ARMATURE
10:52:17AM CALLED BAY 3.
10:52:18AM IT'S REALLY FULLY SUBSCRIBED AT THIS POINT.
10:52:21AM A LOT OF YOUNG PROFESSIONALS.
10:52:22AM A REALLY GOOD FEELING.
10:52:25AM AGAIN, I THINK AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH
10:52:28AM THE DEVELOPMENT.
10:52:28AM THE THIRD INCREMENTAL PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT WAS APPROVED
10:52:32AM SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.
10:52:33AM IT IS AN OFFICE COMPLEX KIND OF NEXT GENERATION
10:52:38AM COLLABORATIVE OFFICE SPACE.
10:52:39AM IT'S 300,000 SQUARE FEET.
10:52:43AM IT INCLUDES -- THE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE PHYSICALLY PLACED AT
10:52:47AM THE CORNER OF PALM AND TAMPA AT THE LIGHT.
10:52:50AM DIAGONALLY ACROSS FROM THE YMCA.
10:52:53AM IT TAKES UP THE TWO BLOCKS THAT FRONT TAMPA.
10:52:55AM THE BLOCK AT THE LIGHT IS THE OFFICE COMPLEX.
10:53:04AM THE BLOCK TO THE SOUTH OF THAT IS 1538 CAR PARKING GARAGE.
10:53:09AM THE GARAGE IS ACTIVATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR WITH BOUTIQUE
10:53:16AM GROCERY STORE, 7400 SQUARE FEET OF STREET-SERVING RETAIL.
10:53:20AM ON THE HIGHLAND FRONTAGE OF THE GARAGE IS 150 KEY SELECT
10:53:24AM SERVICE HOTEL WHICH SHOULD WORK WELL WITH THE OFFICE
10:53:31AM COMPLEX.
10:53:32AM AS I MENTIONED, THE MASTER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
10:53:41AM INCLUDE THE REMEDIATION OF THREE BROWNFIELDS.
10:53:44AM TWO OF THEM PERMANENTLY CLOSED.
10:53:46AM THE SITE ALONG BOULEVARD RIVERFRONT PARTNER SITE WHICH WAS
10:53:51AM REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DREDGE YARD THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF
10:53:54AM THE PROJECT.
10:53:54AM THE ARMATURE WORKS SITE --
10:54:01AM [NO ENCODER]
10:54:29AM [NO ENCODER]
10:54:36AM -- WE THINK BEING -- TAMPA AND PALM, IF YOU'VE SEEN THE
10:54:42AM STREETCAR ROLLOUT, THE STREETCAR EXTENSION THE LEFT-HAND
10:54:46AM SIDE OF FLORIDA AND THEN WEST ON PALM AND THEN DOWN THE
10:54:49AM LEFT-HAND SIDE OF TAMPA.
10:54:50AM SO THIS WOULD PUT THIS OFFICE COMPLEX DIRECTLY ON THAT NEW
10:54:53AM TRANSIT LINK.
10:54:54AM SO, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THE FINAL MAXIMUM DENSITY AND INTENSITY
10:55:02AM THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED UNDER THE MODIFICATION OF THE PLANNED
10:55:07AM DEVELOPMENT IS 360,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL, 488 OFFICE,
10:55:12AM 2200 DWELLINGS, 370 HOTEL ROOMS.
10:55:20AM WE HAVE A COMMITMENT FROM A BOUTIQUE THEATER.
10:55:26AM EIGHT SCREENS.
10:55:28AM INCLUDES ONE SCREEN ACTUALLY 50 SEATS WITH A PLAY PLACE SO
10:55:32AM KIDS CAN WATCH MOVIES AND RUN AROUND AND PLAY.
10:55:34AM RECREATIONAL FACILITY, WHICH AGAIN IS GENERIC ON THE ZONING.
10:55:38AM THAT IS ACTUAL KIND OF A MILLENNIAL ORIENTED GYM THAT
10:55:45AM INCLUDES A CLIMBING COMPONENT AND CROSS FIT.
10:55:50AM >>FRANK REDDICK: [MICROPHONE NOT ON]
10:55:51AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: THE RESIDENTIAL, 2200 UNITS, WHAT IS
10:55:55AM PROPOSED?
10:55:55AM ARE THEY RENTALS?
10:55:56AM IS THAT WHAT'S PROPOSED?
10:56:00AM >> MIX OF RENTALS AND OWNERSHIP.
10:56:02AM A MIX OF RENTALS AND OWNERSHIP.
10:56:04AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE RATIO IS NOW?
10:56:07AM WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING?
10:56:10AM >> I THINK THE APPROACH THAT WE'VE TAKEN TO THE DEVELOPMENT
10:56:12AM IS NOT TO TRY TO TELL THE MARKET WHAT IT WANTS OR PROCLAIM
10:56:21AM JUST ADD WATER.
10:56:23AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: RENTAL AND OWNERSHIP.
10:56:25AM >> THAT'S CORRECT, YES.
10:56:26AM OUR ACTUAL SECOND INCREMENTAL APPROVAL, A COMPONENT OF THAT
10:56:32AM INCLUDES SEVEN-STORY CONDOMINIUM ON THE WATER AT THE
10:56:37AM BOULEVARD BRIDGE AND THE NEW RIVER ROAD THAT WE EXTENDED,
10:56:41AM THE EXTENSION OF 7th.
10:56:43AM WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN THAT APPROVED.
10:56:48AM >>YVONNE CAPIN: THANK YOU.
10:56:50AM >> SO ADDITIONALLY, THE CLIMBING GYM AND THE ENTITLEMENTS
10:56:56AM HAVE INCLUDED -- AT THIS POINT WE PLANNED OUT A MUCH LESS
10:57:02AM AGGRESSIVE.
10:57:04AM WE SEE THOSE AS PUBLIC, SIMILAR TO THE ONES TO THE NORTH,
10:57:07AM SOMETHING TO GIVE FOLKS ACCESS TO THE RIVERWALK AND THE
10:57:10AM MIXED-USE PATH.
10:57:13AM I WOULD CLOSE BY SAYING THAT WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET
10:57:17AM WITH FULL GENERAL MEETINGS OF BOTH HISTORIC RIDGEWOOD
10:57:22AM NEIGHBORHOOD OR CRIME WATCH ASSOCIATION AND THE TAMPA
10:57:24AM HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION, AND WE ENJOY THE FORMAL SUPPORT
10:57:30AM OF BOTH OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS.
10:57:31AM I ALSO BELIEVE -- THE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT IS HERE.
10:57:36AM I KNOW THAT ULELE WAS ABLE TO SEND YOU A LETTER OF SUPPORT
10:57:41AM AS WELL.
10:57:41AM WITH THE COLUMBIA BEING THE ONLY OTHER PRIVATE LANDOWNER
10:57:45AM WITHIN THE ZONING AREA, WE OWN THE REMAINDER OF THE
10:57:48AM PROPERTY.
10:57:49AM SO WITH THAT, I'LL RETIRE, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,
10:57:56AM I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.
10:58:00AM >>HARRY COHEN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:58:01AM I THINK I SPEAK FOR ALL OF US WHEN WE SAY WE APPRECIATE
10:58:05AM WHAT'S HAPPENED ON THE PROJECT OVER THE YEARS.
10:58:07AM IT'S TURNED INTO REALLY QUITE AN ICONIC PLACE IN THE CITY.
10:58:10AM WE DID RECEIVE A LETTER FROM STETSON LAW SCHOOL WITH SOME
10:58:17AM CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THEY WERE GOING TO DEAL WITH SECURING
10:58:20AM THEIR PARKING BECAUSE THEY PERCEIVE THAT AS THIS IS BUILT
10:58:23AM OUT IT MAY CREATE A STRESS ON THEIR PARKING FACILITIES.
10:58:28AM JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE LETTER WAS NOT IN OPPOSITION.
10:58:31AM IT WAS REALLY MORE A GENERAL CONCERN.
10:58:33AM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN IT BUT I WONDER IF YOU COULD
10:58:36AM RESPOND TO THAT CONCERN THAT THEY RAISED?
10:58:39AM >> YES, SIR, SURE.
10:58:40AM I SAW MY NEIGHBORS HERE BEHIND ME.
10:58:43AM I HAD NOT HAD A CHANCE TO HEAR FROM THEM OR SPEAK TO THEM IN
10:58:45AM ADVANCE.
10:58:46AM I THINK THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE INEVITABLE GROWING PAINS.
10:58:53AM MY IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WOULD BE THE HEIGHT ZONING HAS
10:58:56AM URBAN -- HAS THE PARKING RATIOS BUILT INTO THE PLAN, AND
10:59:00AM THAT THEY ARE -- RESIDENTIAL IS BASICALLY SELF-PARKED.
10:59:04AM IT'S REALLY SELF-PARKED AT A RATE THAT PEOPLE WHO SUBSCRIBE
10:59:08AM TO STRICT URBAN PRINCIPLES WOULD THINK IS TOO MUCH.
10:59:11AM AT THIS GIVEN TIME, WE DON'T HAVE TRANSIT IN PLACE AND
10:59:14AM THAT'S REALLY A REQUIREMENT OF THE MARKET.
10:59:15AM OFFICE, LIKEWISE, IS PARKED AT THE NORMAL CITY RATIO.
10:59:19AM AGAIN, IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TRANSIT IN PLACE
10:59:23AM NOW, BUT TO CONSTRUCT THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS, WE'RE
10:59:26AM BUILDING A 1538 CAR PARKING GARAGE.
10:59:29AM I DO BELIEVE THAT WE MONITOR OUR PARKING.
10:59:35AM WE MAN IT WITH FOUR TO SIX EMPLOYEES FROM THURSDAY EVENING
10:59:39AM THROUGH THE WEEKENDS.
10:59:42AM THERE'S A LOT OF EVENTS IN WATER WORKS PARK.
10:59:48AM WE SEE A LOT OF ACTIVITY, FOLKS WHO WANT TO ACCESS THE
10:59:51AM RIVERWALK AND WALK DOWNTOWN, STRAZ AND THAT MAKES UP 35%.
10:59:56AM WE ACTUALLY DO COUNT.
11:00:00AM OF THE TRAFFIC THAT'S THERE.
11:00:01AM SO IT IS A CONCERN, I THINK, AS WE GROW AS AN URBAN AREA
11:00:08AM ADJACENT TO DOWNTOWN.
11:00:10AM >>HARRY COHEN: IS IT SOMETHING YOU CAN COMMIT TO HELPING
11:00:12AM THEM AND WORKING WITH THEM TO PREVENT THE SITUATION FROM
11:00:16AM BECOMING OUT OF CONTROL FOR THEM?
11:00:18AM >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
11:00:19AM I GAVE THEM MY CONTACT INFORMATION.
11:00:21AM I THINK THAT WE ALL SHOULD WORK TOGETHER COMPREHENSIVELY.
11:00:26AM >>HARRY COHEN: THEY HAD ASKED IN THEIR LETTER IF THERE WAS
11:00:28AM ANY KIND OF COMPENSATION THEY COULD RECEIVE.
11:00:30AM I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S AN APPROPRIATE PART OF THE ZONING
11:00:33AM PROCESS, BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO BRING THE ISSUES UP
11:00:36AM WHILE THE HEARING IS OPEN SO WE CAN GET A COMMITMENT TO MAKE
11:00:40AM SURE THERE WILL BE COLLABORATION AND THEY WON'T BE UNDULY
11:00:44AM BURDENED.
11:00:44AM THE ONLY THING I WANT TO ASK YOU, YOU MENTION THE STREETCAR
11:00:48AM EXPANSION.
11:00:49AM I SEE THE ROUNDABOUT ON NORTH BOULEVARD.
11:00:51AM DO YOU ENVISION THAT TO BE ULTIMATELY THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO
11:00:54AM THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT AREA OR DO YOU SEE THE DOWNTOWN SIDE
11:00:57AM OR BOTH?
11:00:58AM HOW DO YOU SEE THE SORT OF GATEWAY?
11:01:03AM >> THE HEIGHTS IS SERVED OF BY THE FULL INTERCHANGE REALLY.
11:01:11AM OF COURSE, HALF THE INTERCHANGE IS OVER BY THE OLD JAIL
11:01:13AM SITE.
11:01:14AM IT'S A FULL INTERCHANGE.
11:01:16AM THE SEGMENT OF I-275, WHICH IS ADJACENT TO THE HEIGHTS, IS
11:01:19AM THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA TRIP TRAVELED SEGMENT OF INTERSTATE
11:01:23AM ON THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA.
11:01:24AM IT'S 215,000 AVERAGE DAILY TRIPS.
11:01:29AM YOU KNOW, THIS IS A VERY URBAN LOCATION.
11:01:31AM THIS DOWN RAMP EMPTIES INTO THE HEIGHTS.
11:01:35AM BY ITS VERY NATURE, HIGHLAND IS THAT DOWN --
11:01:39AM THE ROUNDABOUTS AT BOULEVARD WERE REALLY INTENDED FOR BOTH
11:01:44AM TRAFFIC CALMING AND IN THE INITIAL DESIGN WHEN WE MET WITH
11:01:47AM RIDGEWOOD, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
11:01:51AM HISTORIC KIND OF '70s TRAFFIC GERRYMANDERING THAT SENT ALL
11:01:57AM THE TRAFFIC SKIRTING THROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AT A
11:02:01AM 45-DEGREE ANGLE.
11:02:02AM AS PART OF THAT, WE FIGURED OUT A WAY TO GET THE TRAFFIC OFF
11:02:07AM THE GARCIA CUT-AROUND WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO TEND TO CUT
11:02:10AM THROUGH RIDGEWOOD AND ALSO SLOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN ON THE
11:02:13AM BOULEVARD BRIDGE.
11:02:14AM HOPEFULLY THE DESIGN ACCOMPLISHES THAT.
11:02:17AM BUT I THINK THAT OUR GOAL, WE INHERITED A MASTER PLAN THAT
11:02:24AM CHICANED THE ROADS AND KIND OF CREATED A DEAD-END PLACE THAT
11:02:28AM WOULD SEEN MORE PRIVATE AND ENCLAVE-LIKE WHEREAS WE THINK
11:02:31AM THE HEIGHTS AS AN URBAN PLACE THAT ENGAGES THE EXISTING
11:02:35AM NEIGHBORHOODS, THAT IS THAT TOWN CENTER THAT, THE
11:02:39AM NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I LIVE IN AND A LOT OF MY FRIENDS LIVE IN
11:02:43AM DO WANT HAVE.
11:02:44AM AGAIN, STREET-SERVING RETAIL SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO GO SO
11:02:48AM FAR TO A GROCERY STORE IN OUR FOOD DESERT SO WE CAN BUY
11:02:53AM GROCERIES NEAR WHERE WE WORK.
11:02:55AM THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
11:02:57AM AND, OF COURSE, HIGH-PAYING JOBS.
11:02:59AM I THINK THE OXYGEN HEADQUARTERS ANNOUNCEMENT AGAIN SHOWS OUR
11:03:05AM COMMITMENT, THAT WE'RE DOING WHAT WE SAID WE WOULD DO.
11:03:12AM >> I WANTED TO THANK COUNCILMAN COHEN BRINGING UP THAT ISSUE
11:03:15AM WITH STETSON UNIVERSITY.
11:03:16AM I'M PLEASED TO HEAR YOU WOULD BE WORKING WITH OUR FRIENDS AT
11:03:19AM STETSON.
11:03:20AM AS MUCH RENT AS YOUR TENANTS MAY BE PAYING AS THE STETSON
11:03:24AM COLLEGE OF LAW ALONG WITH THE STUDENTS -- I SAY THAT AS A
11:03:30AM PROUD STETSON ALUMNI.
11:03:32AM IN OTHER WORDS, LAW SCHOOL IS NOT FREE.
11:03:34AM FOLKS THAT GO AND PARK THERE, THAT'S PART OF THEIR TUITION
11:03:37AM AND GOING TO LAW SCHOOL IS A VERY STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE.
11:03:40AM THE LAST THING THESE POOR STUDENTS NEED, MANY OF WHOM, BY
11:03:43AM THE WAY, ARE WORKING.
11:03:44AM MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE WORKING ADULTS TRYING TO BECOME
11:03:47AM LAWYERS.
11:03:47AM THE LAST THING THAT THEY WOULD NEED IS OBVIOUSLY MAJOR
11:03:51AM STRUCTURAL PARKING CHALLENGES.

11:04:04AM MANY TIMES WHENEVER I GO TO HCBA EVENTS, I WIND UP PARKING

11:04:10AM JUST THE WAY IT IS.

11:06:10AM KRISTIN MORA, LEGAL DEVELOPMENT.
11:06:12AM THIS IS A STATUTORY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT.
11:06:15AM SO IT DOES REQUIRE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS.
11:06:16AM I THINK IT GOT TOUCHED ON A LITTLE BIT WHAT'S CHANGING IN
11:06:19AM HERE.
11:06:19AM THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS BEING AMENDED TO REFLECT THE
11:06:22AM ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES AND THE CHANGES THAT WERE OUTLINED IN
11:06:26AM THE REZONING THAT YOU JUST MOVED ON FIRST READING.
11:06:29AM THERE'S ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL MITIGATION PAYMENT THAT WILL BE
11:06:34AM MADE AS A RESULT OF THAT CHANGE.
11:06:36AM SO THAT IS ALL REFLECTED IN THE NEW DEVELOPMENT OR IN THE
11:06:39AM DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT.
11:06:41AM AS WELL AS SOME SCHEDULING CHANGES.
11:06:43AM I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
11:06:46AM AS I STATED THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO YOU WILL NEED TO
11:06:49AM OPEN IT TO THE PUBLIC.
11:06:50AM AND THEN CLOSE IT.
11:06:52AM BUT YOU WON'T MOVE THE RESOLUTION UNTIL THE SECOND PUBLIC
11:06:55AM HEARING.

11:08:37AM YOU'RE SAYING THE PETITIONER IS NOT REQUESTING TO SPEAK?
11:08:42AM >>COLIN RICE: CORRECT.
11:08:43AM PER THE CODE, THE PETITIONER WOULD HAVE TO HAVE REQUESTED

11:09:35AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE REASON I ASKED IF TWO METERS, I KNOW
11:09:38AM TECO WOULD NOT PUT IT IN WAY BACK.
11:09:41AM THEY WOULD BE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
11:09:42AM THANK YOU.
11:09:43AM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
11:09:44AM WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL?

11:11:17AM THE HEARING WAS AUTOMATICALLY REOPENED AND CONTINUED TO THIS
11:11:19AM DATE.
11:11:20AM THERE IS NO MOTION ON THE FLOOR PRESENTLY, SO WHATEVER

11:15:47AM I HAVE TO, A MEMORANDUM THAT I SIGNED, CONFLICT, WHEN I'M
11:15:55AM VOTING, WHICH WAS -- WHAT DATE WAS THIS?

11:16:28AM I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL MY COUGHING TODAY.
11:16:30AM I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
11:16:31AM BUT TWO VERY BRIEF THINGS.
11:16:32AM I WANT TO MOVE THAT COUNCIL BE REQUESTED TO PREPARE A
11:16:36AM COMMENDATION FOR ATTORNEY STEVE BARBAS TO RECOGNIZE HIM FOR
11:16:39AM 40 YEARS DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE CITY AS THE CITY ATTORNEY.
11:16:43AM AND THIS BE PRESENTED ON JANUARY 24th, 2019.
11:16:47AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION BY MR. VIERA.
11:16:49AM SECONDED BY MR. MANISCALCO.
11:16:50AM ALL IN FAVOR AYE.
11:16:52AM >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND, IF I MAY, I HAVE A LETTER HERE.
11:16:56AM I WAS -- LIKE I'M SURE EVERYBODY HERE -- VERY DISTURBED TO
11:16:57AM READ THAT OUR INCOMING GOVERNOR, GOVERNOR-ELECT DESANTIS IS
11:17:02AM GOING TO BE APPARENTLY MOVING FOR A TWO-MONTH DELAY ON
11:17:06AM AMENDMENT 4, WHICH THIS IS, YOU KNOW, EVEN A ONE-DAY DELAY
11:17:11AM ON AMENDMENT 4 AND ITS CLEAR INTENT WHICH WAS SUPPORTED BY
11:17:16AM ALMOST TWO IN THREE FLORIDIANS I THINK IS A POTENTIALLY
11:17:20AM CRUEL INJUSTICE.
11:17:20AM FOR US IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL
11:17:23AM DENY VOTING RIGHTS POTENTIALLY TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
11:17:26AM LOOKING TO VOTE BASED UPON THEIR NEWLY FOUND, LEGALLY
11:17:29AM RECOGNIZED RIGHTS, IN MY OPINION, TO VOTE IN THE CITY OF
11:17:31AM TAMPA ELECTION IN 2019.
11:17:33AM FOR ME, THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.
11:17:35AM IT REALLY, REALLY IS, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE
11:17:39AM NEED TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD, MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD NOT
11:17:42AM ONLY AS A CITY, NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS
11:17:47AM AND LEADERS, BUT ALSO AS CITIZENS.
11:17:49AM I WOULD REALLY SUGGEST THAT INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE WHO
11:17:52AM SUPPORTED AMENDMENT 4 OR WHO JUST RESPECT THE WILL OF THE
11:17:56AM PEOPLE IN BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES AND VOTING
11:17:59AM RIGHTS, MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD ON THIS ISSUE.
11:18:02AM WRITE TO THE LEGISLATURE, WRITE TO GOVERNOR-ELECT DESANTIS
11:18:05AM AND TELL THEM THAT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE A SINGLE DAY OF DELAY
11:18:10AM IN AMENDMENT 4, ITS IMPLEMENTATION.
11:18:11AM THIS IS BASED UPON RESTRICTIONS THAT WERE PASSED OVER 150
11:18:13AM YEARS AGO FOLLOWING THE CIVIL WAR AND THE FLORIDA
11:18:16AM CONSTITUTION, AND TO HAVE ANOTHER ELECTION GO BY, CITY OF
11:18:21AM TAMPA ELECTION WHERE THESE INDIVIDUALS CANNOT VOTE, I THINK
11:18:24AM IS SHAMEFUL.
11:18:25AM SO I AM REQUESTING THAT CITY COUNCIL DRAFT A LETTER TO
11:18:30AM GOVERNOR-ELECT DESANTIS AND TO OUR TAMPA AREA
11:18:32AM REPRESENTATIVES IMPLORING THEM TO ALLOW THE INDIVIDUALS WHO
11:18:35AM WERE OVERWHELMINGLY GRANTED THESE LEGALLY RECOGNIZED RIGHT
11:18:40AM TO VOTE BE ALLOWED TO VOTE IN OUR CITY ELECTION.
11:18:42AM EVERY VOTE COUNTS.
11:18:44AM THAT IS A MORAL PRINCIPLE, AND IT'S ONE THAT MUCH BLOOD HAS
11:18:47AM BEEN SHED OVER, AND WE CANNOT TREAT THAT LIGHTLY.
11:18:50AM >> SECOND.
11:18:50AM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION FROM MR. VIERA.
11:18:52AM SECONDED BY MR. MIRANDA.
11:18:54AM DISCUSSION OF THE MOTION?
11:18:58AM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IF I COULD, CHAIR, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU
11:19:00AM SEND TO THE REST OF THE CABINET BECAUSE SINCE THEY SIT AS
11:19:03AM THE CLEMENCY BOARD, I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER
11:19:06AM DIRECTION TO GO.
11:19:07AM BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR MAY SAY THAT HE WANTS TO HAVE A BILL TO
11:19:10AM SIGN IN ORDER TO PUT THIS FORWARD, BUT THE CLEMENCY BOARD
11:19:13AM MAY HAVE, AND I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS, THEY MAY HAVE
11:19:16AM SOME LEGAL REQUIREMENT BASED ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
11:19:20AM THAT'S PASSED THAT THEY CAN GO FORWARD WITHOUT WAITING FOR
11:19:23AM LEGISLATION.
11:19:23AM I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, MR. VIERA, BUT I THINK THAT
11:19:26AM IS WORTH A TRY TO SEND IT, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE A NEW
11:19:29AM CABINET AND THERE MAY BE SOME FOLKS ON THERE THAT AGREE WITH
11:19:33AM US THAT WILL LOOK AT IT AND MAKE THAT DECISION.
11:19:39AM >>LUIS VIERA: VERY GOOD AMENDMENT, AND I WILL ACCEPT SAID
11:19:40AM FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
11:19:42AM >>FRANK REDDICK: START A PETITION DRIVE TO IMPEACH DESANTIS.
11:19:45AM >> IS THAT A MOTION?
11:19:47AM >>HARRY COHEN: THIS WILL BE A LETTER SIGNED BY THE CHAIR.
11:19:50AM >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
11:19:50AM THANK YOU FOR THAT, COUNCILMAN COHEN.
11:19:54AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
