09:16:56 MADAM CLERK?
09:17:00 >>THE CLERK: YES, SIR.
09:17:01 WE HAVE ONE FROM CONNIE BURTON.
09:17:13 IT'S A RECORDING.
09:17:14 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD WITH THAT.
09:17:19 >> (RECORDING OF CONNIE BURTON): I WOULD HOPE
09:17:19 THAT COUNCIL WOULD MOVE IN A DIRECTION OF NOT
09:17:21 ONLY OPENING UP THE CITY BUT TAKING A FULL AND
09:17:27 CLOSE LOOK OF HOW NEGLECT WILL BE DEALT WITH
09:17:31 WHEN YOU ARE APPROVING THE CITY'S AGENDA ITEM
09:17:37 PER WEEK, AND TALK ABOUT HOW WE KNOW WORKERS
09:17:54 HOUSING NEED, HEALTH CARE, CHILD CARE, JUST TO
09:17:57 NAME A FEW OF THE MANY THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO
09:18:00 HAVE SO AS THIS COUNTRY RECOVERS, THEY HAVE THE
09:18:07 ABILITY TO RECOVER AS WELL.
09:18:11 HOUSING CONTINUES TO BE THE NUMBER ONE DOMINANT ISSUE
09:18:16 ALONG WITH EMPLOYMENT OR LACK OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
09:18:20 IN EAST TAMPA.
09:18:24 PLEASE BE MINDFUL SO THAT OUR COMMUNITY WILL BE
09:18:35 MERCHANDISE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:18:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WERE THERE ANY OTHER RECORDED PUBLIC
09:18:40 COMMENTS OR IS THAT THE ONLY ONE?
09:18:42 >>THE CLERK: THERE ARE NO OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS AND WE
09:18:45 HAD NO REGISTRATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
09:18:48 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THEN WE GO TO A MOTION FOR
09:18:54 RECONSIDERATION.
09:18:54 THIS IS A VIRTUAL MEETING.
09:18:56 WE WILL GO THERE NOW.
09:18:57 BEFORE WE GO INTO THE CONSENT AGENDA, THERE WERE SEVERAL
09:19:00 ITEMS THAT WERE PULLED FOR DISCUSSION, 15, 21, 22, 59,
09:19:05 60, AND THEN I BELIEVE WE HAD ITEM NUMBER 9 FOR
09:19:11 CONTINUANCE.
09:19:12 IS STAFF GOING TO BE AVAILABLE BY TELEPHONE TO ANSWER THE
09:19:17 QUESTIONS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS?
09:19:19 OR HAVE THE QUESTIONS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED BY -- I SEE
09:19:23 TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS HAD PULLED THESE ITEMS.
09:19:34 SO 21 AND 22 WE CAN WAIT TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.
09:19:39 15, 59 AND 60 THAT WERE PULLED AS A GROUP VIA MEMO.
09:19:46 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, DO YOU NEED STAFF PRESENT BY PHONE
09:19:50 TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR WERE YOU ABLE TO DISCUSS WITH
09:19:53 THEM?
09:20:03 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK THAT STAFF IS ON THE LINE.
09:20:05 LET ME JUST GET TO IT AND THEN WE CAN LUMP IT BACK IN.
09:20:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
09:20:16 >> JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIR, THANKS TO YOU AND LUIS,
09:20:16 AND YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB IN A VERY DIFFICULT YEAR.
09:20:20 AND GUIDO HAS HIS HANDS FULL IN THE COMING YEAR.
09:20:25 IN REGARDS TO ITEM 15, CHIEF BENNETT, WE ARE BUYING FOUR
09:20:35 ELECTRIC CARS, FULLY ELECTRIC CARS.
09:20:37 MY RECOLLECTION, THIS MIGHT BE THE FIRST TIME THE CITY IS
09:20:40 BUYING FULLY ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
09:20:42 I'M NOT SURE.
09:20:45 MS. WYNN CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ON THAT.
09:20:53 ANY COMMENTS FROM CHIEF BENNETT ON THE FULLY ELECTRIC
09:20:56 CARS AND ARE WE HEADED PERHAPS DOWN THE ROAD TO A MORE
09:20:59 ELECTRIC FLEET?
09:21:00 >>JOHN BENNETT: CHIEF OF STAFF.
09:21:06 FIRST, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW CHAIRMAN AND CHAIRMAN
09:21:10 PRO TEM, THE CRA CHAIRMAN, AS WELL AS THE VICE CHAIRMAN.
09:21:16 ON BEHALF OF THE MAYOR AND THE CITY ADMINISTRATION, THANK
09:21:18 YOU FOR A YEAR WELL SERVED, COUNCILMAN VIERA.
09:21:23 WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE NEW COUNCIL.
09:21:26 NOW TO COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S QUESTION, AS FAR AS THE
09:21:31 HISTORY OF ELECTRIC AND HYBRID VEHICLES OVER THE PAST
09:21:34 DECADE, WE WOULD HAVE TO GET YOU A MEMO ABOUT ITS
09:21:39 INAUGURAL DELIVERY TO THE CITY.
09:21:41 HOWEVER, WE DID ASK FOR AT LEAST A FRONT END STUDY TO
09:21:47 DETERMINE THE TOTAL COST AND OF COURSE THE COST TO THE
09:21:51 ENVIRONMENT.
09:21:53 AND I HAVE THREE DATA POINTS THAT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU
09:21:56 RIGHT NOW AND THEN ONE THAT WE ARE GOING TO LOOK TOWARDS
09:21:59 THE FUTURE.
09:21:59 OF COURSE, ANYTIME YOU BUY SOMETHING, THERE'S KIND OF AN
09:22:03 AVERSION TO RELIABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY AND AS NOW
09:22:08 MAYOR CASTOR MADE THAT ONE OF HER PRIORITIES TO BRING IN
09:22:12 RESILIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY, LOOKING BACKWARDS TO WHAT
09:22:16 WE HAVE DONE, WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW AND WHAT WE WILL DO
09:22:19 IN THE FUTURE AND SHE WILL BE INTRODUCING OUR NEW
09:22:22 SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY OFFICER SOON, THAT SAID
09:22:25 FOCUSING ON THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES, THERE IS AN INVERSION
09:22:30 MEANING TYPICALLY THE CAPITAL COSTS IN THE BEGINNING ARE
09:22:32 TYPICALLY HIGHER AND THEN THE BENEFITS OUTWEIGH THE
09:22:37 BENEFICIAL COST.
09:22:38 AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME HERE.
09:22:41 THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT 4.7%.
09:22:45 HOWEVER, IT'S 21% LESS OPERATING COSTS AND 32.8% LESS
09:22:54 EMISSIONS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
09:22:57 AND THE ONE THING THAT I AM TRYING TO RESEARCH IS HOW TO
09:23:00 MONETIZE THOSE EMISSIONS SAVINGS TO THE COMMUNITY.
09:23:05 WE KNOW THERE'S A BENEFIT TO LESS EMISSIONS ESPECIALLY BY
09:23:08 ALMOST A THIRD AS COMPARED TO A GAS VEHICLE.
09:23:12 HOWEVER, TO PUT THOSE IN A MONETIZING, I HAVE SEEN THOSE
09:23:17 IN THE DATE AND SO FAR THEM HAVE YET PUT IT INTO AN EASY
09:23:21 TO DIGEST NUMBER.
09:23:22 THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M SURE THAT THE WHOLE WORLD OF
09:23:24 SUSTAINABILITY, RESILIENCY IS LOOKING AT BECAUSE THERE'S
09:23:27 NO SINGLE ANSWER.
09:23:28 BUT WE ARE ACTUALLY EXCITED.
09:23:31 THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN ORDERED
09:23:33 THAT ARE TOTAL ELECTRIC.
09:23:35 THERE ARE MORE COMING TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS INCLUDING
09:23:40 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SO WE WILL KEEP COUNCIL ABREAST OF
09:23:44 THIS NEW MOVEMENT AS TIME GOES ON.
09:23:46 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, CHIEF BENNETT.
09:23:57 ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS IN OCCUPIED, PREOCCUPIED WITH THE
09:24:01 VIRUS, NOT ONLY LOCALLY BUT WORLDWIDE FOR OBVIOUS
09:24:06 REASONS, BUT ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS THAT THE ISSUE OF
09:24:10 HEALTH OF OUR PLANET AND THE SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR
09:24:14 PLANET, WHICH WAS THE BIG ISSUE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF
09:24:18 YEARS, OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN PUSHED ASIDE.
09:24:22 I BRING THAT UP IN REGARD TO THE FACT I WANT TO
09:24:25 COMPLIMENT THE ADMINISTRATION WITH NOT LOSING SIGHT OF
09:24:28 THE HEALTH OF OUR PLANET AND THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY,
09:24:32 AND BUYING THESE ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
09:24:35 I THINK IT'S VERY EXCITING AND I APPLAUD THE
09:24:38 ADMINISTRATION.
09:24:39 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, ON THAT ONE.
09:24:41 UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY OTHER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS, I
09:24:44 WILL MOVE ONTO MY OTHER ONE, WHICH WAS ITEM 59 AND 60.
09:24:51 DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ON 16 BEFORE I MOVE ON?
09:24:54 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, WE WILL MOVE ONTO 59 AND 60 AND
09:24:57 THEN VOTE ON THEM ONCE WE GET TO THAT PART OF THE CONSENT
09:25:00 AGENDA.
09:25:03 IS THERE ANY STAFF HEAR FOR 59 AND 60?
09:25:09 >>JEAN DUNCAN: YES, JEAN DUNCAN HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
09:25:14 ABOUT 59 AND 60.
09:25:16 >>BRAD BAIRD: AND BRAD BAIRD AS WELL FOR 59 AND 60, MR.
09:25:21 DINGFELDER.
09:25:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND I HAVE HAD SOME GREAT CHATS WITH
09:25:26 GINA AND BRAD THIS WEEK BUT I WANT TO BRING THEM UP FOR
09:25:29 COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY.
09:25:32 ITEM 59 AND 60, MR. BAIRD AND HIS FANTASTIC TEAM ARE
09:25:38 STARTING THE PIPE PROGRAM, AND THEY WILL BE TEARING UP
09:25:43 SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF DAVIS BOULEVARD AND EAST DAVIS
09:25:48 BOULEVARD, TO PUT IN NEW WATER MAINS UNDER THE PROJECT,
09:25:53 AND HAND IN HAND WITH THAT, WHEN THEY ARE DONE, AND THIS
09:25:59 FANTASTIC THAT MS. DUNCAN AND HER STAFF WILL BE FOLLOWING
09:26:03 UP WITH IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SAFETY OF THE ROADWAY.
09:26:07 SO, BRAD, I THINK IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
09:26:14 MRS. DUNCAN, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ELABORATE ON THE SAFETY
09:26:17 IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU AND MR. BHIDE HAVE PLANNED.
09:26:20 >>JEAN DUNCAN: THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
09:26:26 WE WORKED VERY EXTENSIVELY WITH THE DAVIS ISLAND CIVIC
09:26:30 ASSOCIATION AND WERE PLEASED THAT WE WILL BE PUTTING WHAT
09:26:36 WE CALL A COMPLETE STREET CONFIGURATION ON DAVIS
09:26:42 BOULEVARD TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE WATER LINE WORK.
09:26:45 THIS INVOLVES NARROWING OUR TRAVEL LANES BOTH IN
09:26:52 TRAVELING SLOWER AND ADHERING MORE TO THE SPEED LIMIT.
09:26:55 WE ARE GOING TO BE REDUCING THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE AREA
09:26:59 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR, A ROUNDABOUT PLACES OFF OF SEVERN
09:27:07 AVENUE.
09:27:11 WE'LL HAVE LANDSCAPING IN THE MEDIANS AND ALSO CREATE A
09:27:17 TRAFFIC CALMING BENEFIT.
09:27:21 EXCUSE ME.
09:27:21 AND WE WILL HAVE ADA AND PEDESTRIAN ENHANCEMENTS AS WELL
09:27:26 TO ADD MORE SAFETY TO THE AREA.
09:27:28 SO I KNOW THE COMMUNITY IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
09:27:33 COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.
09:27:35 AND WE BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO BE A REAL AESTHETIC,
09:27:39 SAFETY AND RESILIENCY ENHANCEMENT FOR DAVIS ISLAND.
09:27:43 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:27:51 I WILL WRAP UP BY SAYING I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
09:27:54 25 YEARS AGO I WAS PRESIDENT OF DAVIS ISLAND CIVIC
09:27:56 ASSOCIATION AND WE ACTUALLY MET WITH THE CITY ONLY FIVE
09:27:59 YEARS AGO TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT SOME SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS
09:28:02 AND SPECIFICALLY SOME MEDIANS IN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT TO
09:28:06 TRY TO GET PEOPLE TO SLOW DOWN AND CREATE A SAVE HAVEN
09:28:11 FOR THE PEDESTRIANS.
09:28:13 SO SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND I HOPE THE WORD
09:28:17 GETS OUT TO DAVIS ISLAND AS WELL.
09:28:19 THANK YOU, STAFF.
09:28:20 AND THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:28:23 I SUPPORT THIS ITEM.
09:28:24 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY.
09:28:30 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:28:32 ON 59 ESPECIALLY, MY QUESTION IS, THIS IS THE PIPES
09:28:36 PROGRAM.
09:28:37 I THINK THE PUBLIC HAS TO REALIZE THAT THIS PROGRAM IS
09:28:39 THE ONE THAT WAS PASSED AS PART OF THE 2.9 BILLION
09:28:44 DOLLARS.
09:28:48 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR, VERY GOOD.
09:28:52 I'M SORRY?
09:28:53 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: EXCUSE ME, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M ASKING
09:28:56 MRS. DUNCAN IS THIS PART OF THE $2.9 BILLION PROGRAM?
09:29:00 >>JEAN DUNCAN: YES, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT,
09:29:02 COUNCILMAN.
09:29:02 THIS IS PART OF THAT PIPES PROGRAM.
09:29:04 AND WE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING TO GET THESE PROJECTS OUT
09:29:07 THE DOOR QUICKLY SO WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING
09:29:09 THIS ONE STARTED.
09:29:13 >>MAYOR CASTOR: SO I HAVE TO MAKE AN ASSUMPTION THIS WAS
09:29:15 PART OF THE 53% THAT WAS FUNDED UP FRONT BY THE CITIZENS
09:29:18 PAYING THEIR 2 DOLLARS A MONTH ON WATER, TWO DOLLARS A
09:29:22 MONTH ON WASTEWATER.
09:29:23 AM I CORRECT?
09:29:24 >>JEAN DUNCAN: I'LL LET OUR CFO CHIME IN ON THAT
09:29:27 QUESTION, COUNCILMAN.
09:29:28 >>JOHN BENNETT: I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION.
09:29:36 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN THIS WAS PASSED
09:29:39 AS I RECALL TIME BACK, THIS WAS FUNDED AFTER A 53%
09:29:46 UPFRONT PAYMENT AND THEN THE REST WE WERE GOING TO BOND
09:29:49 OUT WHICH WAS 45% OF THE PROJECT.
09:29:51 SO MY QUESTION IS WE HAVE BEEN COLLECTING THE TWO DOLLARS
09:29:53 A MONTH ON WATER AND TWO DOLLARS A MONTH ON WASTEWATER ON
09:29:56 YOUR WATER BILL THAT COMES EVERY MONTH SO WE MAY HAVE A
09:29:59 KITTY TO START THE PROJECT WITHOUT FUNDING THROUGH THE
09:30:02 SOURCES OF REVENUE OF FINANCING IT.
09:30:05 SO MY QUESTION IS VERY SIMPLE, IS THIS $4,445,924.08, IS
09:30:13 THAT PART OF THE UPFRONT 53% FUNDING THAT THE PUBLIC IS
09:30:17 PAYING INTO THE FUND WITHOUT FINANCING?
09:30:20 >>JOHN BENNETT: YES, SIR.
09:30:25 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:30:25 I APPRECIATE IT.
09:30:26 CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND TO EVERYONE IN THE CITY WHO
09:30:28 HAD THIS BRILLIANT IDEA, ESPECIALLY BRAD BAIRD IN THE
09:30:32 BEGINNING, AND MRS. DUNCAN NOW TO CONTINUE DOING THIS SO
09:30:35 WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY INTEREST.
09:30:37 IN OTHER WORDS, YOU GET 100% PAYBACK.
09:30:40 THE OTHER WAY YOU FINANCE IT, YOU ONLY GET A 50% PAYBACK.
09:30:46 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:30:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS?
09:30:49 OKAY.
09:30:52 >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I JUST MAKE A QUICK STATEMENT ABOUT
09:30:54 21 AND 22 AND THEN JUST LEAVE IT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA
09:30:58 WHEN WE GO FORWARD?
09:30:59 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SURE.
09:30:59 GO AHEAD.
09:31:00 >>BILL CARLSON: THE ONLY THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT --
09:31:02 AND I DON'T MEAN TO GET INTO A LONG DISCUSSION, BUT I
09:31:05 WANT TO POINT OUT I THINK IT WAS APRIL 16 WE WERE FIRST
09:31:09 DISCUSSING THE ONE TAMPA PROGRAM.
09:31:12 I THINK THE MONEY WAS GOING TO COME, MR. ROGERO SAID
09:31:16 ESTIMATED, 2 MILLION FROM THE PUBLIC AS DONATION, 2
09:31:21 MILLION FROM THE PDPG, AND THEN 2 MILLION FROM CRA.
09:31:27 I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT NUMBER IS NOW A LITTLE NORTH OF
09:31:31 3 MILLION.
09:31:32 AND WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT COMING FROM THE INTEREST
09:31:35 MONEY WHICH I WILL BRING UP AT THE CRA MEETING.
09:31:37 BUT I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT 3 MILLION THAT HAD WE
09:31:41 HAD A ROBUST DISCUSSION THREE MONTHS AGO, WE WOULD HAVE
09:31:44 HAD PUT IT TO MUCH NEEDED PROJECTS.
09:31:46 SO AS WE GO FORWARD, I HOPE THAT WE HAVE REALLY
09:31:51 INSIGHTFUL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET AND WHERE IT
09:31:53 SHOULD GO AND STRATEGY AND EVERYTHING.
09:31:55 THANK YOU.
09:31:55 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
09:31:57 ALL RIGHT.
09:31:58 THAT CLEARS UP THE DISCUSSION FOR THE PULLED ITEMS.
09:32:01 ITEM NUMBER 48 ON THE ADDENDUM WAS A SUBSTITUTE
09:32:04 RESOLUTION.
09:32:05 AND WE WILL GET TO THAT LATER.
09:32:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, I APOLOGIZE.
09:32:11 I APOLOGIZE.
09:32:13 ONE OTHER ISSUE THAT I WAS TALKING TO MR. BAIRD ABOUT,
09:32:17 AND I WANTED TO GET THIS ON THE RECORD BECAUSE IT'S
09:32:21 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO HEAR,
09:32:25 THE MINORITY COMMUNITY TO HEAR.
09:32:27 I HAVE BEEN ASKING AND PESTERING MR. BENNETT AND HIS
09:32:33 STAFF AND WMBE AND I THOUGHT OUR NUMBERS WERE NOT
09:32:39 EXCITING.
09:32:39 THEY PROMISED ME AS WE GO INTO THE PIPES PROGRAM, WMBE
09:32:43 NUMBERS WILL GET BETTER.
09:32:45 AND MR. BENNETT OR MR. BAIRD, DO YOU HAVE ANY REPORT ON
09:32:48 THAT, ESPECIALLY AS THE LATEST ITEM 59 AND ANY OTHER
09:32:53 LARGE EXPENDITURES ON PIPES?
09:32:55 >>BRAD BAIRD: THIS IS BRAD BAIRD SPEAKING.
09:33:00 ON ITEM 59, WHICH IS A CONTRACT AMOUNT ROUGHLY
09:33:06 $4.5 MILLION ON THAT ITEM, WE ARE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT
09:33:12 THE WMBE, FLBE PARTICIPATION, GOAL, IS SET AT 28.43%,
09:33:25 TOTAL, WHICH IS ALMOST $1.3 MILLION OUT OF THAT CONTRACT.
09:33:30 SO WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THAT, TO GET OUT OF THE GATE WITH
09:33:33 THE HIGH NUMBER.
09:33:34 THANK YOU.
09:33:34 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
09:33:40 MR. DINGFELDER, IS THAT IT?
09:33:44 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
09:33:45 THANK YOU MRS. WYNN AND HER TEAM ON PUSHING THOSE WMBE
09:33:52 NUMBERS HIGHER.
09:33:54 AND TO ALL THE STAFF, AND MR. BAIRD AND EVERYBODY WHO IS
09:33:59 WORKING ON THE MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISES.
09:34:04 I THINK IT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
09:34:06 AND WE NEED TO JUST KEEP IT UP.
09:34:09 AND I'M REALLY THRILLED TO SEE THE HIGH NUMBERS ON THE
09:34:12 PIPES PROJECT.
09:34:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: VERY GOOD.

09:42:30 MIRANDA.
09:42:31 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
09:42:32 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
09:42:39 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
09:42:42 VIERA.
09:42:42 ROLL CALL, PLEASE.
09:42:45 CLERK?
09:42:48 >>SHIRLEY FOXX-KNOWLES: COMING NOW.
09:42:54 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
09:42:56 >>THE CLERK: MR. CHAIR, 54 THROUGH 56, I NEED TO KNOW,
09:43:14 IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT THE CONVENTION CENTER?
09:43:17 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I DON'T THINK WE KNOW AT THIS POINT.
09:43:19 I KNOW THE CONVENTION CENTER IS WHAT IT'S LOOKING FOR,
09:43:22 FOR JUNE.
09:43:23 BEYOND THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SITUATION IS GOING TO
09:43:25 BE.
09:43:26 THE STATE OF EMERGENCY AND WHATNOT IS GOING TO BE BY THAT
09:43:29 TIME.
09:43:30 HOPEFULLY WE CAN BE BACK IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
09:43:32 BUT I THINK IT'S TOO SOON SOME SAY WHERE EXACTLY IT'S
09:43:38 GOING TO BE HELD.
09:43:39 NOW, FOR PUBLIC NOTICE, WHAT IS IT, JUST A 30 DAY NOTICE
09:43:44 PERIOD?
09:43:48 >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE TO NOTIFY THEM WHERE IT'S GOING TO
09:43:50 BE HELD AT.
09:43:55 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THIS IS ANDREA ZELMAN, DEPUTY CITY
09:43:57 ATTORNEY.
09:43:58 WE CAN WORK WITH THE CLERK ON A WAY TO WORD THE NOTICE TO
09:44:01 ADDRESS THE LOCATION AND TO ALSO ADVISE PEOPLE THAT THAT
09:44:05 MAY BE SUNSET TO CHANGE AND PROVIDE A WAY BY WHICH THEY
09:44:11 COULD FIND THAT INFORMATION OUT.
09:44:12 SO WE COULD WORK WITH THE CLERK.
09:44:14 WE HAVE DONE THAT WITH SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS.
09:44:17 WE SLIGHTLY REVISED THE NOTICE LETTERS AND WE CAN DO THAT
09:44:20 INFORM THIS PURPOSE AS WELL.
09:44:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
09:44:25 AND WE ARE MORE THAN SIXTY DAYS OUT SO THERE'S PLENTY OF
09:44:28 TIME TO WORK WITH THAT TO SEE WHAT THE SITUATION WILL BE
09:44:30 LIKE CLOSER TO THAT TIME.
09:44:32 IS THAT SUFFICIENT, CLERK?
09:44:33 >>THE CLERK: YES, THAT'S FINE.
09:44:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
09:44:37 SO WE HAD A MOTION TO SET THESE FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS, OR
09:44:41 SET THE HEARINGS FOR JULY 16, 2020, 10:30 A.M. FOR ALL
09:44:45 THREE, MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA WITH A SECOND FROM

09:45:17 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO ITEM 57 AND 58 CANNOT BE HEARD.
09:45:23 NO AFFIDAVIT FILED.
09:45:24 MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO REMOVE THIS FROM THE AGENDA?
09:45:28 >>THE CLERK: MR. CHAIR, THOSE HAVE BEEN RESET TO JUNE
09:45:35 23rd, 2020 AT THE CONVENTION CENTER.
09:45:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
09:45:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THEY NEED TO BE REMOVED, THOUGH,
09:45:42 MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:45:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THEY DO?
09:45:43 ALL RIGHT.
09:45:44 CAN WE GET A MOTION TO REMOVE ITEM 57 AND 58 FROM THE

09:45:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SO MOVED, CITRO.
09:45:52 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: AGAIN, ANDREA ZELMAN.
09:45:54 CAN I ASK THE CLERK TO CLARIFY?
09:45:56 I BELIEVE THEY CANNOT BE HEARD, NO AFFIDAVIT FILED
09:45:59 LANGUAGE IS A CARRY-OVER, AND THAT THE HEARING HAS NOW
09:46:03 BEEN RESCHEDULED.
09:46:06 >>THE CLERK: THAT IS CORRECT.
09:46:10 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: SO THEY SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE
09:46:12 AGENDA, CORRECT?
09:46:14 >>THE CLERK: CORRECT.
09:46:15 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.
09:46:16 SO THESE ARE GOING TO BE RENOTICED.
09:46:18 IS THAT CORRECT?
09:46:19 IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING?
09:46:21 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: YES.
09:46:22 >>MARTIN SHELBY: DO YOU WANT THEM TO REMAIN ON THE
09:46:24 AGENDA BUT HAVE THE ACTION SUMMARY -- HAVE THEM BE
09:46:28 RESCHEDULED?
09:46:31 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN RESCHEDULED.
09:46:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY: UNDERSTOOD.
09:46:36 THANK YOU.
09:46:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
09:46:37 WE MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 59, AND 60 WHICH THEY ARE PART
09:46:46 1 AND PART 2.

09:46:49 DINGFELDER AND OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS.
09:46:52 ON ITEM NUMBER 59, CAN I GET A MOTION TO MOVE THIS
09:46:54 RESOLUTION?
09:46:56 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MIRANDA, MOVES THE RESOLUTION.

09:48:16 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
09:48:18 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:48:21 NOW MOVING ON TO ITEM 61 THROUGH 65, WHICH ARE STAFF
09:48:26 REPORTS, WE HAVE WRITTEN REPORT ON EACH OF THESE ITEMS.
09:48:37 HE DON'T BELIEVE STAFF HERE FOR THIS.
09:48:43 IS THAT SATISFACTORY TO COUNCIL?
09:48:49 >>LUIS VIERA: MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY.
09:48:53 I WANTED TO BRIEFLY COMMENT ON ITEM 61 AND 65 WHENEVER
09:49:01 THE CHAIR WOULD SO PERMIT.
09:49:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SURE ARE, GO AHEAD.
09:49:06 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
09:49:07 I APPRECIATE IT, SIR.
09:49:08 WITH REGARDS TO 61, WE GOT A DETAILED MEMO FROM LEGAL ON
09:49:13 THAT.
09:49:14 AND AGAIN I WANTED TO THANK LEGAL FOR THEIR HARD WORK ON
09:49:16 THAT.
09:49:19 IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING.
09:49:21 WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO BY VIRTUE OF THIS WAS TO FIND
09:49:24 MEANS BY WHICH THE CITY OF TAMPA COULD ENCOURAGE THE USE
09:49:27 OF CERTIFIED APPRENTICESHIPS IN CERTAIN WORKS DONE AND
09:49:32 PROJECTS DONE HERE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA FOR THE CITY OF
09:49:34 TAMPA, AND RIGHT NOW I'M IN TALKS WITH INDIVIDUALS IN THE
09:49:41 COMMERCIAL BUILDERS COMMUNITY AS WELL AS SOME INDIVIDUALS
09:49:45 IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT JOINT MEETINGS IN ORDER TO TRY TO
09:49:49 MOVE THIS FORWARD BUT OBVIOUSLY CONSISTENT WITH THE LAW.
09:49:54 WE WANT TO GET SUED AND THAT'S WHAT PART OF THAT
09:49:57 DIPLOMACY IS, BEING AN ATTORNEY.
09:49:58 I KNOW FULL WELL THAT DIPLOMACY IS THE GREATEST PREVENTER
09:50:02 FOR LITIGATION SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO.
09:50:08 AND MR. CHAIR, WHEN I MAY TALK TO 65.
09:50:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SURE, GO AHEAD.
09:50:17 >>LUIS VIERA: WITH REGARDS TO 65, WHAT I HAVE REQUESTED A
09:50:19 FEW MONTHS AGO WAS SOME SORT OF A BRIEF ANALYSIS BY TAMPA
09:50:25 FIRE WITH REGARDS TO ANOTHER STATION FOR THE NORTH TAMPA
09:50:29 AREA.
09:50:30 YOU KNOW, STATION 13 HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS A GREAT DEAL
09:50:33 BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE STRESSES THAT THE MEN AND WOMEN
09:50:36 THERE HAVE TO UNDERGO BECAUSE IT'S THE BUSIEST STATION IN
09:50:40 THE CITY OF TAMPA AND WE KNOW IN THE TOP 50 OAR 60
09:50:45 CONSISTENTLY STATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
09:50:47 IT'S QUITE REMARKABLE.
09:50:49 I APPRECIATE THE REPORT AND HARD WORK FROM TAMPA FIRE.
09:50:52 STATION 13 AS YOU KNOW COVERS A LOT OF THE NORTH TAMPA
09:50:55 AREA, A VERY VAST TERRITORY OF COPELAND, FOREST HILLS,
09:51:03 BUSCH, FOWLER, ET CETERA, VERY, VERY LARGE.
09:51:06 I ALWAYS VIEW STATION 13 AS SOME OF THE HARDEST WORKING
09:51:10 MEN AND WOMEN HEAR IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
09:51:12 WE ARE ALL PROUD OF THEM.
09:51:13 IF YOU ALL READ A REPORT THAT WAS GIVEN TO US BY THE
09:51:16 TAMPA FIREFIGHTERS UNION, THIS AREA WAS PREVIOUSLY
09:51:19 IDENTIFIED BY TAMPA FIRE RESCUE AS A HEAVY USE AREA.
09:51:24 THINGS I WOULD ASSUME.
09:51:26 GOTTEN BETTER SINCE 2015.
09:51:28 WE SAW THERE IN THAT REPORT STATISTICS ON THE AVERAGE
09:51:32 NUMBERS OF CALLS, AND FRANKLY IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS
09:51:37 AGAIN A GREAT BURDEN, A STRESS ON THESE MEN AND WOMEN.
09:51:40 WE KNOW THAT IT TAKES YEARS TO GET DESIGN AND
09:51:46 CONSTRUCTION NOT TO MENTION A LOT OF MONEY FOR FIRE
09:51:48 STATION 13.
09:51:49 SO -- CORRECT THAT, HELP FOR FIRE STATION 13 FOR ANOTHER
09:51:53 STATION.
09:51:53 SO WHAT I WANT TO DO IS AGAIN JUST BEGIN THE DIALOGUE.
09:51:57 I'M FULLY AWARE OBVIOUSLY THAT WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A
09:52:00 PANDEMIC CRISIS AND THAT OUR FISCAL SITUATION FROM FOUR
09:52:06 MONTHS AGO ISN'T WHERE IT IS NOW, BUT I THINK WE CAN'T
09:52:09 LOSE SIGHT OF LONG-TERM PLANNING, PARTICULARLY WHENEVER
09:52:12 IT COMES TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
09:52:16 I APPRECIATE THE REPORT FROM MY GOOD FRIEND TAMPA FIRE
09:52:19 RESCUE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S ON THE RIGHT AND
09:52:23 RESPONSIBLE TRACK.
09:52:24 STATION 13 AGAIN IS THE BUSIEST STATION AROUND, AND I
09:52:29 THINK THAT THANKS AGAIN TO THE LEADERSHIP OF CHIEF NICK,
09:52:37 MAYOR CASTOR, AND OTHERS WITH REGARD TO THE ADDITIONAL
09:52:42 RESCUES AT 13 IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY SHOWS MOVEMENT
09:52:46 TOWARDS WHAT WE NEED TO GO.
09:52:49 SO I WILL BE BRINGING THIS ISSUE UP AS IT FURTHER
09:52:53 PROGRESSES AND I WILL PUT A PERSONAL CALENDAR ON IT TO
09:52:55 FOLLOW UP IN SIX TO NINE MONTHS BUT I WANTED TO BRIEFLY
09:53:00 TALK ABOUT IT, JUST PUT IT IN THE SIGHTS OF COUNCIL
09:53:03 MEMBERS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY, REALLY GOING TO BE
09:53:05 NEEDED AND FRANKLY NEEDED NOW, SO THE DIALOGUE I THINK
09:53:10 NEEDS TO GIP ON IT RIGHT NOW AND THIS REPORT DOES THAT.
09:53:13 SO THANK YOU TO TAMPA FIRE RESCUE.
09:53:15 THANK YOU FOR THE TIME, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:53:16 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:53:18 ALL RIGHT.
09:53:18 ON ITEM 61 THROUGH 65, ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANY
09:53:22 QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THESE ITEMS?
09:53:26 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:53:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THIS IS MARTIN SHELBY.
09:53:29 I JUST WANTED TO REMAINED COUNCIL AND ALSO REMAINED THE
09:53:32 PUBLIC THAT THESE MEMOS, WHICH YOU ARE GOING TO BE
09:53:35 RECEIVING AND FILING, HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY THE
09:53:37 ADMINISTRATION WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CITY COUNCIL,
09:53:41 DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC TO RELIEVE THE BURDEN ON THE
09:53:48 ADMINISTRATION, THAT THESE STAFF REPORTS HAVE BEEN
09:53:50 PROVIDED IN WRITING TO KEEP COUNCIL MOVING AND KEEPING
09:53:53 INFORMED, AND THE ADMINISTRATION JUST WISHES TO REMIND
09:53:57 COUNCIL THAT THEY ARE APPRECIATIVE OF THAT AS WELL.
09:54:02 AND GOING FORWARD DURING THE STATE OF EMERGENCY, IF WE
09:54:06 CAN, PLEASE.
09:54:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
09:54:09 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SHELBY.
09:54:10 MR. DINGFELDER, YOU HAD A COMMENT, QUESTION?
09:54:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
09:54:13 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:54:16 TWO THINGS.
09:54:16 ONE IN REGARD TO OUR STATION, NORTH TAMPA, AND I
09:54:24 APPRECIATE MR. VIERA POINTING THAT OUT AND BEING SO
09:54:28 FAMILIAR WITH IT AS PART OF HIS DISTRICT.
09:54:30 HE ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT A NOTICE IN THE PAPER ZIP CODE
09:54:34 33612 THAT INCLUDES THAT AREA IN THE BUSCH-FOWLER AREA,
09:54:40 AND ALSO I THINK THE HARDEST HIT ON THE COVID IN
09:54:46 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, AND I'M SURE THAT IS THE WORK OF
09:54:50 FIRST RESPONDERS UP THERE.
09:54:53 IN REGARD TO ITEM 62 AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, MR.
09:54:58 SHELBY, TO YOUR COMMENTS AND CHIEF BENNETT, AS LONG AS
09:55:01 MR. BAIRD IS STILL ON THE LINE, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE USE
09:55:08 OF THE PIPE MONEY, ESSENTIALLY USE THE PIPE MONEY FUND
09:55:13 FROM ADDITIONAL WMBE POSITIONS, AS THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO
09:55:18 PROGRESSES, THE PIPES PREPARES IS GOING TO PUT A LOT OF
09:55:24 PRESSURE ON THE WMBE FOLKS AND IT PAIRS THAT MS. WYNN
09:55:31 MIGHT WANT TO CHIME IN ON THIS AS WELL, THAT WE ARE GOING
09:55:35 TO NEED SOME MORE MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE ANALYSTS
09:55:38 TO KEEP UP WITH THE PAPERS PROGRAM.
09:55:40 SO CHIEF BENNETT, I WILL LET YOU SPEAK TO THAT AS YOU SEE
09:55:46 FIT.
09:55:46 >>JOHN BENNETT: CHIEF OF STAFF.
09:55:50 COUNCIL, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
09:55:52 OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU KNOW, THIS WILL BE A TRIPLE EFFORT
09:55:56 BETWEEN OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT, OUR FRACTURE, MOBILITY
09:56:00 DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS MS. WYNN'S SECTION OF EQUAL
09:56:05 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
09:56:06 AND ALL OF THAT DOVETAILS INTO MAYOR CASTOR'S WORKFORCE
09:56:11 INITIATIVE WHICH IS ONE OF THE FOUR ADVISORY PROCESSES
09:56:15 THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE ADMINISTRATION STARTED.
09:56:18 WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN ORGANIC DOVETAIL BETWEEN THOSE TWO
09:56:22 OPPORTUNITIES WHICH IS THE PAPERS PROGRAM AND WORKFORCE
09:56:24 DEVELOPMENT.
09:56:24 SO WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT SHORTLY.
09:56:26 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
09:56:32 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHAT SORT OF TIME FRAME ARE WE TALKING
09:56:34 ABOUT COMING INTO THIS YEAR'S BUDGET OR ARE WE LOOKING AT
09:56:38 A FUTURE BUDGET OR WHAT?
09:56:43 >>JOHN BENNETT: THE ADVISORY RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GETTING
09:56:45 READY TO BE PUBLISHED.
09:56:47 ONCE THOSE ARE PUBLISHED AND ADOPTED BY THE
09:56:49 ADMINISTRATION, AND WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT A FISCAL
09:56:54 RESPONSIBILITY UPDATE AT THE END OF THE MEETING FOR
09:56:57 COUNCIL'S APPROVAL FOR OPTIONS, AND THOSE THINGS CAN BE
09:57:01 ADDRESSED.
09:57:01 SO, YES, WE ARE LOOKING IN THE NEXT FIVE MONTHS AHEAD OF
09:57:06 FY 21 TO DECIDE HOW WE WILL TAKE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS
09:57:11 AND CONVERT THEM INTO THE PROJECTS THAT WE ARE DOING NOW
09:57:14 AND WILL BE DOING IN THE FUTURE.
09:57:15 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:57:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:57:22 ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS ON
09:57:25 THE STAFF REPORT ITEM 61 THROUGH 65?
09:57:31 ALL RIGHT.
09:57:31 SEEING NONE, BEFORE WE GO TO INFORMATION REPORTS AND NEW
09:57:34 BUSINESS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS, MR. SHELBY, I KNOW THAT
09:57:38 CHIEF OF STAFF BENNETT HAD SENT AN E-MAIL REGARDING THE
09:57:43 THREE HOUR SPECIAL CALLED MEETING AND WHATNOT.
09:57:45 AND I WANTED TO JUST GO INTO FURTHER DETAIL ON THAT, AND
09:57:51 DATES OF WHEN WE CAN HAVE THESE TAKE PLACE.
09:57:53 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SURE.
09:57:56 I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER TO THE CHIEF OF STAFF.
09:57:58 THE MEMO WAS SENT TO COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO ON TUESDAY
09:58:01 AFTERNOON.
09:58:01 THE CHIEF OF STAFF EXPLAINED WITHIN THE MEMO, AND I ASKED
09:58:06 HIM TO BRING IT FORTH TO COUNCIL FOR ITS CONSIDERATION.
09:58:09 >>JOHN BENNETT: CHIEF OF STAFF.
09:58:13 THANK YOU, BOTH CHAIRMAN AND MR. SHELBY.
09:58:17 AS MR. SHELBY MENTIONED, WE CIRCULATED AN E-MAIL THROUGH
09:58:21 HIS OFFICE TO COUNCIL, AND THIS IS AN ADAPTATION TO THE
09:58:27 COVID-19 EMERGENCY.
09:58:28 AS YOU RECALL WE SENT IN INFORMATION TO HAVE SPECIAL
09:58:34 CALLED MEETINGS, IF YOU WILL, PRIOR TO COVID-19 RELATED
09:58:36 TO THE FISCAL YEAR 21 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, WITH
09:58:41 THE GOAL OF INFORMING COUNCIL EARLY AS OPPOSED TO NEAR
09:58:46 THE END OF THE BUDGET ADOPTION.
09:58:49 AND IN TALKING TO MR. DENNIS ROGERO, OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL
09:58:53 OFFICER, AND OUR BUDGET OFFICER, WE THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD
09:58:56 OFFER THE ADAPTATION OPTION TO COUNCIL BEFORE THE
09:59:02 COMPRESSION OF THE AGENDAS START IN JUNE WITH THE
09:59:05 QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARINGS.
09:59:07 AND SO WHAT WAS PUT TOGETHER WAS A DRAFT AGENDA IN THE
09:59:12 E-MAIL AS WELL AS SOME DATE OPTIONS.
09:59:17 THE DRAFT AGENDA WAS COMPRISED OF GIVING COUNCIL A
09:59:20 SIX-MONTH CURRENT FISCAL YEAR FY 20 UPDATE SO YOU
09:59:25 UNDERSTOOD WHERE WE WERE BY THE MID POINT OF THIS FISCAL
09:59:28 YEAR.
09:59:32 THE COVID-19 RISK UPDATE TO THE BUDGET BASED ON REFUSE
09:59:36 NEWS AND EXPENDITURES AND FEMA DOLLARS AND OTHER
09:59:39 POTENTIALS FOR RECOVERY.
09:59:42 PROVIDE COUNCIL WITH STAFF PRESENT VIRTUALLY, A Q AND A
09:59:48 SESSION FOR UP TO AN HOUR TO ASK STAFF FOR OPTIONS AND
09:59:53 IDEAS GOING INTO FISCAL YEAR 21, THAT WORK TOWARDS THE
09:59:59 CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN, AN UPDATE ON THE ONE TAMPA RELIEF
10:00:04 PROGRAM AS WELL AS A FISCAL UPDATE ON THE PIPES PROGRAM.
10:00:10 SO THOSE ITEMS WERE OFFERED, AND AGAIN THERE WAS A
10:00:14 THREE-HOUR BLOCK IDENTIFIED, BUT THE GOAL WOULD BE ABLE
10:00:17 TO DO THIS IN TWO HOURS, ONE HOUR FOR ALL OF THE UPDATES
10:00:21 I JUST DESCRIBED AND THEN LEAVING UP TO AN HOUR FOR
10:00:24 COUNCIL TO ASK SUBSTANTIVE AND PLANNING-BASED QUESTIONS
10:00:27 FOR FISCAL YEAR 21 TO STAFF AND THE DATES THAT WERE
10:00:31 OFFERED WERE TUESDAY, MAY 19, STARTING AT 9 A.M., WITH A
10:00:36 TARGET ENDING OF 12 BUT HOPEFULLY 11 A.M.
10:00:39 THE SECOND OPTION WHICH MR. SHELBY RECOMMENDED AND WE
10:00:43 ADOPTED AS PROBABLY THE SECOND BEST WOULD BE THE SAME
10:00:48 TIME, 9 TO 12 IN THE MORNING ON THE 28th, WHICH IS A
10:00:53 WORKSHOP THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN THERE, AND I BELIEVE THE
10:00:56 AGENDA IS FAIRLY LIGHT FOR THAT.
10:00:58 THE THIRD OPTION WOULD BE THE OFTEN OF MAY 21st AFTER
10:01:04 THE MORNING REGULAR AGENDA WHICH IS TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY,
10:01:09 AND THEN THE OPTION WHICH I DON'T RECOMMEND BUT IS DOABLE
10:01:12 IS TO EMBED THIS TWO TO THREE-HOUR SESSION ON THE BACK
10:01:16 END OF THE MORNING AGENDA OF THE 21st REGULAR AGENDA,
10:01:21 BUT THAT WOULD ELONGATE THE AGENDA PERIOD WEEKS FROM NOW.
10:01:28 THOSE ARE THE FOUR OPTIONS PROPOSED.
10:01:30 WE ARE OPEN TO OTHER OPTIONS.
10:01:31 WE DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH
10:01:33 COUNCIL ON THE BUDGET PREP AS WELL AS THE BRIEFINGS
10:01:36 RELATED TO THE MIDYEAR AND THE COVID CRISIS THAT WE ARE
10:01:40 ALL IN AS IT RELATES TO PLANNING FISCAL YEAR 21.
10:01:43 BUT WE ARE ALSO OPEN TO OTHER OPTIONS.
10:01:45 AND I'M NOT SURE IF MR. ROGERO HAS ANY COMMENTS OR NOT,
10:01:49 MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:01:50 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, MR. ROGERO, IF YOU ARE
10:01:54 STILL ON THE LINE.
10:01:58 >> DENNIS ROGERO: THIS IS DENNIS ROGERO.
10:02:01 I THINK THE CHIEF OF STAFF COVERED EVERYTHING VERY WELL.
10:02:04 THANK YOU.
10:02:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:02:06 SO MR. SHELBY OR OTHER MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, WE SEE THAT
10:02:11 THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENT DATES AND TIMES.
10:02:15 I'M OPEN FOR ANYTHING WORKS FOR ME.
10:02:19 SO I WILL PUT IT OUT THERE TO EVERYONE ELSE.
10:02:22 MR. SHELBY.
10:02:22 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:02:25 I REMINDED COUNCIL LATE YESTERDAY THAT THE CLERK HAD
10:02:28 RELEASED AN UPDATED CALENDAR DATED MAY 6th AND IT
10:02:32 WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO REFER TO IT TO
10:02:36 BE ABLE TO GUIDE THEM IN YOUR DECISION THIS MORNING.
10:02:39 JUST A REMAINED WE ARE REGARD TO THE MAY 28th
10:02:42 MEETINGS, THOSE HAVE BOTH BEEN CANCELED, BOTH THE
10:02:45 WORKSHOP SESSION AND THE EVENING SESSION.
10:02:47 SO THERE'S PRESENTLY NOTHING PRESENTLY SCHEDULED AT ALL
10:02:50 FOR COUNCIL FOR MAY 28th.
10:02:53 YOUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING IS ON THE 21st.
10:02:56 AND AGAIN, THAT WOULD REQUIRE, IF YOU DO IT ON THE
10:03:00 21st, YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO SEPARATE CALL-IN SESSIONS,
10:03:05 ONE IN THE MORNING AND ONE TO COME BACK IN THE AFTERNOON.
10:03:07 WE HAVE DONE THAT IN THE PAST.
10:03:08 THAT REQUIRES TWO MEETINGS IN ONE DAY.
10:03:11 ALSO, COUNCIL, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THE ADMINISTRATION
10:03:15 FEELS ABOUT THIS, JUST TO BRING TO THE YOUR ATTENTION,
10:03:19 YOU HAVE A WORKSHOP SCHEDULED IN JOHN, ON JUNE 18th,
10:03:22 AND FRANKLY THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT TO SEE
10:03:26 WHETHER COUNCIL WANTS TO GO FORWARD WITH WHAT'S ON THAT
10:03:28 WORKSHOP DAY, BUT THAT'S ALSO AN AVAILABLE DAY IN THE
10:03:31 MORNING.
10:03:32 WITH A REMAINDER THAT YOU DO HAVE AN EVENING SESSION WITH
10:03:35 15 HEARINGS THAT NIGHT AT 6:00 P.M.
10:03:37 SO AS MR. BENNETT HAS SET FORTH, YOU HAVE SEVERAL OPTIONS
10:03:43 AND I AM PREPARED TO ASSIST YOU LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR
10:03:49 PURSUANT TO YOUR AGENDA.
10:03:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'M LOOKING AT TUESDAY, MAY 19,
10:03:53 WHICH IS A DAY THAT WE TYPICALLY DO NOT MEET, OF COURSE,
10:03:57 A TUESDAY, 9 TO 12 WITH A GOAL OF 9 TO 11.
10:04:01 THAT WOULD MAKE IN MY OPINION THE MOST SENSE.
10:04:04 OR MAY 28 WHICH IS A COUNCIL SESSION IS WIDE OPEN.
10:04:08 WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE ANYWAY FOR A MEETING AND CAN DO A
10:04:12 9 A.M. TO 12.
10:04:13 THAT'S MY OPINION, THOSE DAYS ARE OPEN.
10:04:17 DO ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANY OPINIONS REGARDING THIS
10:04:20 SPECIAL CALLED MEETING?
10:04:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THIS IS DINGFELDER.
10:04:27 I'LL MOVE THE MAY 19th SUGGESTION.
10:04:30 I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AS
10:04:34 EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
10:04:37 AND I'M SPEAKING JUST FOR MYSELF.
10:04:41 I'M AVAILABLE ON THE 19th.
10:04:42 I ALSO WANT TO TALK A LITTLE MORE, MR. CHAIRMAN, AFTER
10:04:47 YOU TAKE THIS VOTE, ON SOME OTHER STAFF REPORT ISSUES.
10:04:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:04:53 WELL, WE'LL FOCUS ON THIS SPECIAL CALL FIRST.
10:04:57 ANYBODY-OH WELL, WOULD THAT BE A FORMAL MOTION FOR
10:05:00 TUESDAY, MAY 19 FROM 9 A.M. TO 12 P.M.?
10:05:03 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER?
10:05:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:05:08 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:05:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO SET THIS FOR MAY
10:05:12 19, 9 TO 12.
10:05:14 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
10:05:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO: CITRO, SECOND.
10:05:19 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
10:05:21 CITRO.
10:05:21 ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION?
10:05:26 ALL RIGHT.
10:05:26 SEEING NONE OR HEARING NONE, WE WILL TAKE A ROLL CALL
10:05:30 VOTE TO ACCEPT THIS SPECIAL CALL ME AND SET IT FOR
10:05:35 TUESDAY, MAY 19, 9 TO 12.
10:05:37 CLERK?
10:05:37 >>THE CLERK: MR. CHAIR, MAY I VERIFY, THIS WOULD BE A
10:05:41 VIRTUAL MEETING?
10:05:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, IT WILL.
10:05:43 >>THE CLERK: ROLL CALL.
10:05:50 DINGFELDER?
10:05:51 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:05:52 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:05:53 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:05:56 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:06:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:06:03 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:06:07 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:06:08 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
10:06:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:06:13 MR. SHELBY, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE OR DOES THAT TAKE CARE
10:06:16 OF THAT?
10:06:16 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT TAKES CARE OF THAT.
10:06:20 I HAVE ONE MORE ITEM OF NEW BUSINESS WHICH WE CAN TAKE
10:06:22 CARE OF AFTER COUNCIL BRINGS UP THEIR NEW BUSINESS.
10:06:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE'LL LEAVE THAT.
10:06:27 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, YOU SAID YOU HAD ANOTHER QUESTION
10:06:29 REGARDING ONE OF THE STAFF REPORTS?
10:06:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, NOT SPECIFICALLY THOSE STAFF
10:06:34 REPORTS, BUT AS YOU RECALL, A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, CHIEF
10:06:38 BENNETT SENT A MEMO TO US SUGGESTING THAT WE HAVE A
10:06:44 SERIES OF WORKSHOPS, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS
10:06:47 EXACTLY, LIKE TWO HOURS EACH, WHERE THE VARIOUS
10:06:52 DEPARTMENT HEADS, ADMINISTRATORS WILL COME IN AND GIVE US
10:06:54 REPORTS ON WHAT THEY ARE DOING, WHAT'S NEW, YOU KNOW,
10:06:59 WHERE WE ARE HEADED, YOU KNOW, JUST GENERALLY LIKE TEN
10:07:04 MINUTES FROM EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS WITH SOME
10:07:07 Q AND A.
10:07:09 AND I THINK WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA AT THE
10:07:11 TIME.
10:07:12 OBVIOUSLY, OTHER THINGS GOT IN THE WAY, AND THAT DIDN'T
10:07:16 GET SCHEDULED.
10:07:17 I THINK NOW THAT THINGS ARE HOPEFULLY GETTING A LITTLE
10:07:21 BACK TO NORMAL AND COUNCIL TO TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BACK
10:07:24 ON TRACK, I THINK THOSE REPORTS ARE EXTREMELY VALUABLE.
10:07:29 I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE CAN ALL MAKE OUR OWN PHONE CALLS AND
10:07:33 TALK TO DEPARTMENT HEADS INDIVIDUALLY.
10:07:35 BUT THAT'S SORT OF CUMBERSOME AND NOT AS TRANSPARENT TO
10:07:41 THE PUBLIC AS THESE DISCUSSIONS SHOULD BE.
10:07:42 SO I WOULD LIKE A QUICK DISCUSSION, MR. CHAIRMAN, AND
10:07:47 PERHAPS SOME INPUT FROM MR. BENNETT IF THOSE REPORTS ARE
10:07:50 STILL AVAILABLE IN A PUBLIC WAY, AND THEN IF COUNCIL IS
10:07:56 AMENABLE, MAYBE WE CAN SCHEDULE WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT
10:08:00 WAS -- AND MY WIFE IS GOING TO BE MAD AT ME BECAUSE THE
10:08:04 28th IS HER BIRTHDAY, BUT I WAS THINKING ABOUT USING
10:08:07 MAY 28th IN THE MORNING AS WELL AS A CANCELED
10:08:10 WORKSHOP AS WELL AS JUNE 18th, WHICH IS ANOTHER
10:08:14 PROBABLY CANCELED WORKSHOP, AND USE THOSE TWO DATES TO
10:08:17 ACCOMPLISH THOSE, I DON'T KNOW FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM,
10:08:22 DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS.
10:08:27 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
10:08:33 CHIEF OF STAFF BENNETT, DO YOU HAVE A RESPONSE TO THAT?
10:08:36 >>JOHN BENNETT: CHIEF OF STAFF.
10:08:40 TO COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S REQUEST, YES, THAT WAS THE
10:08:43 INTENTION THAT WHEN LET INTO THIS CONCESSION MEETING
10:08:46 FOR -- NOW THAT IT'S BEEN APPROVED FOR THE 19th,
10:08:51 TRYING TO BLEND ALL OF THAT ENERGY INTO THOSE TWO TO
10:08:54 THREE HOURS THAT YOU JUST VOTED ON.
10:08:57 HOWEVER, THE ADMINISTRATION IS STILL VERY INTERESTED IN
10:09:01 TALKING WITH COUNCIL BY PORTFOLIO.
10:09:04 WE HAD ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED TWO HOURS PER PORTFOLIO
10:09:09 WITH THE FOUR ADMINISTRATORS, AND WE COULD DO THOSE IN
10:09:14 WORKSHOP TAKING TWO PORTFOLIOS PER SESSION.
10:09:18 THEY WILL COME PAST AND OF COURSE IN THE BUDGET,
10:09:23 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S EARLIER POINT, THE FASTER THAT WE
10:09:26 GET THIS INPUT, WHY WE ARE BOTH HANDLING THE EMERGENCY
10:09:32 AND WORKING IN A TELEWORKING ENVIRONMENT.
10:09:36 IT DOES TAKE A LITTLE EXTRA TIME FOR STAFF TO PUT THINGS
10:09:39 TOGETHER AND MEET ALMOST IN A VIRTUAL MANNER.
10:09:45 SO WE ARE OPEN TO IT.
10:09:46 OBVIOUSLY WE ARE STILL IN THE STATE OF EMERGENCY AND
10:09:48 THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
10:09:50 BUT AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN A STRONG
10:09:53 INTEREST OF THE ADMINISTRATION GOING INTO THE FISCAL YEAR
10:09:56 PLANNING PRIOR TO COVID AND IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE JUST
10:09:59 AS IMPORTANT TO HAVE EFFICIENCY, EFFECTIVENESS AND EQUITY
10:10:04 GOING INTO FISCAL YEAR 21.
10:10:06 SO THAT SAID, IF THERE WAS A MOTION FOR TWO PORTFOLIOS
10:10:12 PER SESSION, THAT WERE IDENTIFIED BY THOSE DATES, STAFF
10:10:15 WOULD WORK TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE.
10:10:18 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER,
10:10:21 DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, EVERYTHING?
10:10:25 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:10:26 IF YOU WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION, TO KIND OF BRING IT TO A
10:10:29 HEAD, AND I BELIEVE THE 28th WOULD BE A VIRTUAL
10:10:34 MEETING, BUT THE JUNE 18th ACTUALLY WE COULD DO IT AT
10:10:37 THE CONVENTION CENTER SINCE WE WILL BE OPERATING AT THE
10:10:41 CONVENTION CENTER IN JUNE.
10:10:43 SO JUST TO GET IT TO A HEAD, I WILL MOVE THAT WE SCHEDULE
10:10:47 THOSE ADMINISTRATIVE BRIEFINGS TO COUNCIL, TWO AT A TIME,
10:10:52 FOR TWO HOURS EACH, APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS EACH, ON THE
10:10:56 MORNING OF THE MAY 28th AT 9:00 A.M., AND THE
10:11:01 MORNING -- AND THAT WOULD START THE VIRTUAL, AND THEN THE
10:11:06 MORNING OF JUNE 18th LIKE AT THE CONVENTION CENTER AT
10:11:11 9:00 A.M.
10:11:12 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:11:13 NOW, FOR JUNE 18 IT'S ALREADY ON THE CALENDAR, 10 A.M.
10:11:17 WORKSHOP TWO, HOUR SESSION CONDUCTED BY -- DEPARTMENTAL
10:11:22 BRIEFINGS.
10:11:23 THAT'S THERE.
10:11:23 SO REALLY THE MOTION WOULD BE FOR MAY 28th WHICH IS
10:11:26 WIDE OPEN.
10:11:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF WE COULD -- MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT WOULD
10:11:30 BE HELPFUL.
10:11:35 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MY FIRST MOTION WOULD BE MAY 28th,
10:11:38 VIRTUAL MEETING, 9 A.M. ON MAY 28th, DEPARTMENT
10:11:48 ADMINISTRATIVE BRIEFINGS.
10:11:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN
10:11:53 DINGFELDER.
10:11:53 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
10:11:57 >>LUIS VIERA: THIS IS COUNCILMAN VIERA, IF I MAY.
10:12:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD.
10:12:01 >>LUIS VIERA: JUST REAL QUICK.
10:12:04 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:12:06 I AM GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS.
10:12:08 BUT I WOULD JUST URGE THE CHAIR TO HAVE A PRIVATE
10:12:10 DISCUSSION WITH THE ADMINISTRATION ON WHAT CHIEF BENNETT
10:12:16 IS ABLE TO SPEAK TO STAFF, ET CETERA.
10:12:18 BECAUSE MAY 28th IS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AWAY, GIVEN THE
10:12:22 FACT THAT WE ARE STILL IN THIS PANDEMIC, IT MAY BE
10:12:25 DIFFICULT FOR STAFF, CERTAINLY NOT TO INTERVENE OR
10:12:31 ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE, BUT JUST -- I AM GLAD TO VOTE
10:12:34 YES, BUT I WOULD --
10:12:36 >>> SURE, I WILL HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH ADMINISTRATION SO
10:12:38 THIS MOVES ALONG SMOOTHLY AND THERE'S NO HICCUPS AND
10:12:42 EVERYONE IS PREPARED.
10:12:44 ALL RIGHT.
10:12:44 WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER DINGFELDER, I
10:12:47 BELIEVE THE SECOND WAS FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
10:12:50 ROLL CALL PLEASE.
10:12:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, MR. CHAIRMAN, MARTIN SHELBY.
10:12:54 SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
10:12:55 I HAVE ONE REQUEST WITH REGARD TO THIS MOTION, AND THIS
10:12:58 MEETING BE REFERRED TO AS A VIRTUAL SPECIAL CALL WORKSHOP
10:13:01 SO IT WILL BE NOTIFIED AS SUCH.
10:13:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THAT'S FINE OF THE VIRTUAL FOR MAY
10:13:07 AND THEN IN JUNE WE'LL DISCUSS THAT BECAUSE OF THE
10:13:10 CONVENTION CENTER.
10:13:11 ROLL CALL VOTE.
10:13:12 >>THE CLERK: DINGFELDER?
10:13:20 DINGFELDER?
10:13:24 GUDES?
10:13:26 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:13:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:13:34 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:13:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:13:38 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:13:42 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:13:44 >>THE CLERK: I AM GOING TO TRY DINGFELDER AGAIN.
10:13:52 MOTION CARRIED WITH DINGFELDER NOT RESPONDING.
10:13:55 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:14:01 HE WAS THE MAKER OF THE MOTION.
10:14:06 NOW WHAT HAPPENS?
10:14:09 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, UNDER ROBERTS RULES, THE MAKER OF
10:14:11 THE MOTION NORMALLY IS REQUIRED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF IT.
10:14:17 IS COUNCIL MEMBER DINGFELDER THERE?
10:14:23 >>LUIS VIERA: HE MAY HAVE LOST CONNECTION.
10:14:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: HE ALSO HAS A SECOND ITEM. WHAT WE CAN
10:14:27 DO IS HOLD THIS FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES.
10:14:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE CAN GO TO INFORMATION REPORTS AND
10:14:33 NEW BUSINESS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
10:14:35 WE'LL GO DOWN THE LINE.
10:14:36 COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
10:14:37 DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING?
10:14:41 >>BILL CARLSON: CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY AND THANK
10:14:42 YOU TO CHAIRMAN VIERA AND CHAIRMAN CITRO FOR THEIR
10:14:46 LEADERSHIP IN THE LAST YEAR AND EVERYONE ELSE.
10:14:49 YOU ALL KNOW ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT I AM MOST INTERESTED
10:14:52 IN IS THE ECONOMY AND ENDING ECONOMIC DISPARITIES THROUGH
10:14:58 OUR COMMUNITY.
10:14:59 AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE PRESENTED THE UPDATE TO THE
10:15:01 TAMPA SCORECARD A MONTH AGO.
10:15:03 IF YOU ALL HAVEN'T SEEN IT, THE WEBSITE IS STILL ON
10:15:07 TAMPASCORECARD.COM.
10:15:09 WE UPDATED THE NUMBERS SO YOU CAN SEE THROUGH 2018 THE
10:15:12 NUMBERS WERE VERY SIMILAR.
10:15:14 AND AGAIN WHAT IT SHOWS IS THAT TAMPA DIDN'T DO VERY WELL
10:15:17 ECONOMICALLY IN THE LAST EIGHT TO TEN YEARS.
10:15:19 AND THAT'S COMPARED TO OUR PEERS AND COMPARED TO THE
10:15:22 BENCHMARK CITIES THAT WE WANT TO COMPETE WITH.
10:15:26 BESIDES THE ISSUES OR THE NUMBERS LIKE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD
10:15:32 INCOME, THERE'S ALSO GREAT DISPARITIES BY GENDER AND
10:15:35 GREAT DISPARITIES BY RACE.
10:15:36 AND SO EIGHT OR SO YEARS AGO THERE WAS A COMMITTEE OF THE
10:15:42 CITY AND A COMMITTEE OF THE COUNTY, EACH OF THEM WERE
10:15:45 SIMILARLY NAMED CALLED THE ECONOMIC COMPETITORS
10:15:48 COMMITTEE, AND THEY WERE CRITICIZED WHEN THEY CAME BACK
10:15:50 WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE 80, 90% OF THE
10:15:55 RECOMMENDATIONS WERE RELATED TO REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT.
10:15:57 IF YOU LOOK AT THE ECONOMICS OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND YOUR
10:16:00 STAFF CAN COME AND GIVE US ALL THE GRANULAR DETAIL IF YOU
10:16:04 WANT, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE ECONOMICS OF OUR COMMUNITY
10:16:06 AND HOW WE TRACKED, WE DID PRETTY WELL, AND WE DIDN'T DO
10:16:11 EXCELLENT.
10:16:12 EVERY DOWNTOWN IN THE STATE BOOMED.
10:16:15 EVERY DOWNTOWN HAD LOTS OF CONDOS AND EVERY DOWNTOWN EVEN
10:16:18 HAD SOMEONE LIKE JEFF VINIK, A BILLIONAIRE, MAKING BIG
10:16:22 INVESTMENTS.
10:16:22 SO WE NEED TO WORK ON ECONOMIC DIVERSITY AND BRINGING
10:16:26 EVERYBODY ALONG.
10:16:27 IF WE REALLY WANT TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST CITIES IN THE
10:16:29 WORLD WE HAVE GOT TO WORK ON OR NUMBERS BECAUSE AS USF
10:16:33 SAID, THE AMAZONS OF THE WORLD, THE BIG COMPANIES OF THE
10:16:36 WORLD, KNOW OUR REAL NUMBERS.
10:16:38 THEY DON'T JUST LOOK AT WHAT WE PRESENT.
10:16:40 THEY KNOW THE REAL NUMBERS, AND THEY WON'T JUST COME
10:16:42 HERE.
10:16:42 THESE ARE MY WORDS.
10:16:43 THEY WON'T JUST COME HERE -- IN THE PAST THE ECONOMIC
10:16:46 DEVELOPMENT WAS ABOUT RECRUITING COMPANIES FROM PLACES
10:16:50 LIKE NEW YORK SO THEY COULD HAVE CHEAPER LABOR AND
10:16:52 CHEAPER TAXES, AND WE NEED TO WORK ON DIVERSIFYING.
10:16:56 WITH THAT IN MIND, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, LET ME
10:17:00 READ IT, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT CITY COUNCIL
10:17:02 WORKING WITH THE CITY AND CITY COUNCIL STAFF ESTABLISH AN
10:17:06 ECONOMIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE WHOSE PURPOSE WOULD BE TO
10:17:09 GIVE QUARTERLY UPDATES TO CITY COUNCIL WITH
10:17:11 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW THE CITY CAN ADDRESS THE ISSUES
10:17:13 OF ECONOMIC GROWTH, ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION, REDUCING
10:17:17 POVERTY, IMPROVING THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND ENDING
10:17:21 GENDER AND RACIAL DISPARITY FOR INCOME.
10:17:24 THIS COMMITTEE WILL HAVE 23 MEMBERS WHO WILL SERVE
10:17:26 ONE-YEAR TERMS.
10:17:27 EACH CITY COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD APPOINT TWO MEMBERS.
10:17:29 THE MAYOR WOULD APPOINT THREE MEMBERS.
10:17:31 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, THE TAMPA BAY EDC, TAMPA BAY
10:17:35 CHAMBER, USF COLLEGE OF BUSINESS, TAMPA INTERNATIONAL
10:17:37 AIRPORT, PORT TAMPA BAY WOULD EACH APPOINT ONE MEMBER.
10:17:40 THE CHAIR WOULD BE ELECTED ONCE A YEAR, CITY COUNCIL
10:17:43 STAFF ARE ASKED TO DEVELOP THEIR RULES AND REPORTING
10:17:46 PROCEDURES OF THE COMMITTEE AND REPORT BACK TO US.
10:17:50 I HAVEN'T SET A DATE YET IF YOU ALL AGREE TO DO THIS, BUT
10:17:54 I WOULD LIKE TO, IF YOU WOULD APPROVE IT TODAY, THE IDEA
10:17:57 TO HAVE THE CITY STAFF WORKING WITH CITY COUNCIL STAFF
10:18:00 COME BACK TO US WITH RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO PUT THIS
10:18:03 FORWARD, AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE ONE FINAL VOTE TO GO OR
10:18:07 NO GO.
10:18:07 THE IDEA HERE IS TO HAVE A DIVERSE REPRESENTATION OF THE
10:18:10 COMMUNITY THAT WOULD REGULATE THE CITY AND CITY COUNCIL
10:18:14 ADVICE ON WHERE THE ECONOMY IS GOING AND IDEALLY THESE
10:18:17 MAJOR PARTNERS THAT WOULD HAVE A PERMANENT SEAT WOULD
10:18:20 GIVE ADVICE AND UPDATES AND DATA TO THEM TO GIVE THEM
10:18:26 HELP, TO DIRECT THEM ON WHAT THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS COULD
10:18:28 BE.
10:18:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:18:31 WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
10:18:34 DO WE HAVE A SECOND AND ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION?
10:18:37 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, DINGFELDER.
10:18:43 SORRY, MY PHONE DIED.
10:18:44 I'M BACK ON.
10:18:46 I'LL SECOND COUNCILMAN CARLSON'S MOTION.
10:18:48 I THINK THE INTENT OF THE MOTION IS TO DO THIS ON A
10:18:51 PRELIMINARY BASIS AND HAVE IT COME BACK.
10:18:55 I DIDN'T HEAR A DATE TO COME BACK.
10:19:01 >>BILL CARLSON: BECAUSE IT'S SCHEDULED, THE CALENDAR IS
10:19:04 CONFUSING WITH THINGS BEING CANCELED.
10:19:05 I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL WERE IN FAVOR OF IT AND
10:19:10 THEN PICK A DATE.
10:19:11 ONE QUESTION THAT MAY COME UP, BY THE WAY, WE ARE FACING
10:19:14 A CURRENT CRISIS, BUT THE CRISIS THAT'S COMING OTHER THAN
10:19:17 THE PANDEMIC IS GOING TO BE THE ECONOMIC CRISIS.
10:19:20 AND WE ARE POTENTIALLY FACING UNEMPLOYMENT OF UPWARDS OF
10:19:24 20% OR MORE, FOR THE ECONOMIC DISPARITY THAT WE WERE
10:19:29 FACING THREE OR FOUR MONTHS AGO ARE GOING TO BE
10:19:32 EXPONENTIALLY INCREASED, AND THIS WOULD HELP US GET AHEAD
10:19:37 OF THE CURVE AND SHOW WE ARE A UNIFIED CITY COUNCIL,
10:19:40 MAYOR, ADDRESSING THE ISSUES, AND WORKING WITH OUR
10:19:42 PARTNERS AND OUR COUNTY.
10:19:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:19:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THE MOTION IS KIND OF CONCEPTUAL
10:19:52 AT THIS POINT, AND I WILL SUPPORT IT, AND THE
10:19:59 ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER PARTNERS, BUT I WILL SECOND IT
10:20:01 AT THIS TIME.
10:20:01 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
10:20:04 CARLSON, A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER DINGFELDER.
10:20:07 ALL IN FAVOR.
10:20:08 ROLL CALL, PLEASE.
10:20:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:20:13 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:20:17 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:20:19 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:20:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:20:26 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:20:30 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:20:31 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED.
10:20:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:20:34 MR. CARLSON, COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON, ANY OTHER NEW
10:20:38 BUSINESS?
10:20:39 >>BILL CARLSON: NO, THANKS EVERYONE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
10:20:44 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: MR. CARLSON, THIS IS ANDREA ZELMAN.
10:20:48 FOR CLARIFICATION, IS IT THE REQUEST THAT STAFF REPORT
10:20:51 BACK TO THE COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO ON THE FEASIBILITY OF
10:20:53 THIS AND THE SCHEDULE FOR IT?
10:20:55 I WASN'T CLEAR ON --
10:21:00 >>BILL CARLSON: NOT ON FEASIBILITY.
10:21:02 JUST ON HOW STRUCTURALLY IT WOULD BE PUT TOGETHER.
10:21:05 AND I FORGOT TO PICK A DATE.
10:21:07 MARTY, IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHOOSE A DATE NOW?
10:21:10 AND I CAN SEND THE LANGUAGE I JUST READ OFF, I CAN SEND
10:21:15 IT TO CITY STAFF AS WELL.
10:21:16 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE QUESTION IS YOU WANT TO COME BACK
10:21:23 WITH A PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATION OR COME BACK AS A -- OR
10:21:27 YOU WANT TO COME BACK WITH DECISION POINTS FOR COUNCIL,
10:21:31 DECISION POINTS?
10:21:33 >>BILL CARLSON: JUST TO COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT HOW THEY
10:21:35 WOULD PUT IT TOGETHER, AND CITY STAFF, THESE COMMITTEES
10:21:39 IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY RUN BY CITY COUNCIL
10:21:41 STAFF, NOT JUST CITY STAFF, SO THE IDEA WOULD BE TO COME
10:21:44 BACK AND TELL IT OUT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND IT WOULD BE
10:21:48 PHYSICALLY PUT TOGETHER, AND THEN I ALSO WOULD NEED A
10:21:52 FINAL GO OR NO GO BY CITY COUNCIL TO LOOK AT AND EVALUATE
10:21:56 THE IDEA.
10:22:00 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND ALSO A REMINDER, THE WAY IT WOULD
10:22:01 BE STRUCTURED WOULD BE A SUNSHINE AS WELL.
10:22:07 (CELL PHONE RINGS)
10:22:08 >> HANG UP ONE SECOND. I'M ON A COUNCIL --
10:22:13 LET ME TURN DOWN MY COUNCIL.
10:22:16 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MUTE IT.
10:22:18 MUTE IT.
10:22:18 >>MARTIN SHELBY: ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HOW LONG DO YOU
10:22:23 WANT TO GIVE THE ADMINISTRATION TO INVESTIGATE AND
10:22:26 EVALUATE AND TO WORK --
10:22:34 >>BILL CARLSON: A MONTH.
10:22:35 CAN WE DO IT A TIME EARLY JUNE?
10:22:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOUR FIRST MEETING IS JUNE 4th AND
10:22:41 YOUR SECOND MEETING WOULD BE ON JUNE 23rd.
10:22:49 >>BILL CARLSON: MARTY, DO WE HAVE TIME ON JUNE 4th OR
10:22:53 JUNE 11?
10:22:55 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: JUNE 4TH -- JUNE 11TH, WE HAVE
10:22:56 EVENING SESSIONS ON BOTH.
10:22:58 JUNE 11 IS CRA MEETING WITH AN EVENING MEETING.
10:23:02 WE HAVE 11 REZONINGS IN THE EVENING WITH THREE ALCOHOLIC
10:23:07 BEVERAGES, WITH CRA.
10:23:11 THE 4th, YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO IT IN THE DAYTIME
10:23:14 BECAUSE THE EVENING HAS 18.
10:23:17 THERE'S 20 ITEMS FOR THAT EVENING SESSION.
10:23:25 >>BILL CARLSON: I DON'T THINK THE DISCUSSION WOULD TAKE
10:23:27 MORE THAN 15 MINUTES.
10:23:27 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO IT DURING THE JUNE 4 REGULAR
10:23:31 SESSION.
10:23:32 >>MARTIN SHELBY: UNDER STAFF REPORTS, UNFINISHED
10:23:36 BUSINESS?
10:23:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PUT IT TOWARDS THE END.
10:23:39 WE HAVE SEVERAL ITEMS THERE BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, BUT
10:23:41 LOOKING AT IT FROM HERE, IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE VERY
10:23:43 HEAVY.
10:23:44 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT VERY WELL MAY BE SECOND READINGS
10:23:48 COMING BACK THAT WERE CANCELED AS A RESULT OF THE
10:23:53 COVID-19 STATE OF EMERGENCY THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE
10:23:55 COMING BACK TO COUNCIL AND THEY MAY END UP ON JUNE
10:23:59 4th AS WELL.
10:24:00 BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S ROOM.
10:24:01 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF WE KEEP IT WITHIN A REASONABLE
10:24:04 TIME, 15 MINUTES, 30 MINUTES, THEN IT SHOULD BE FINE.
10:24:08 >>BILL CARLSON: I WOULD JUST ASK TO STAFF TO WORK WITH MY
10:24:11 STAFF AND WE'LL FIGURE THIS OUT.
10:24:12 ONE ASIDE, I TALKED TO THE FLORIDA BAR CLE YESTERDAY, I
10:24:18 DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE DID, REGARDING THE CITY'S
10:24:21 HOLDING QUASI-JUDICIAL MEETINGS VIRTUALLY, AND THERE'S
10:24:25 ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, AND
10:24:31 THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS TAKEN A VERY CONSERVATIVE APPROACH
10:24:34 WHICH I APPRECIATE.
10:24:36 IT LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE ARE ESTIMATING THAT THIS CRISIS IS
10:24:38 GOING TO LAST A LOT LONGER THAN ANYBODY ANTICIPATED SO WE
10:24:42 MAY END UP WITH VIRTUAL QUASI-JUDICIAL MEETINGS AS WELL,
10:24:46 SOMETIMES IN THE MIDYEAR, END OF YEAR.
10:24:48 ANYWAY, THANK YOU EVERYBODY.
10:24:49 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:24:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIR?
10:24:54 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'M SORRY.
10:24:54 JUST TO CLOSE OUT THIS ITEM, THIS MOTION THAT COUNCILMAN
10:24:58 CARLSON MADE, IS HE ADDING THAT AS PART OF THE MOTION TO
10:25:01 COME BACK UNDER STAFF REPORTS ON JUNE 4?
10:25:05 WAS THAT DONE BY THE CLERK?
10:25:06 I WANT TO MAKE SURE.
10:25:07 >>THE CLERK: THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET.
10:25:09 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT HAS TO BE A SEPARATE VOTE?
10:25:14 >>THE CLERK: SEPARATE MOTION BECAUSE THE OTHER MOTIONS
10:25:16 HAVE ALREADY BEEN VOTED ON.
10:25:17 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO WE HAVE THIS MOTION FROM COUNCIL
10:25:21 MEMBER CARLSON.
10:25:22 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
10:25:26 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, JOSEPH CITRO HERE.
10:25:29 I WILL SECOND THE MOTION.
10:25:30 HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN ASK STAFF.
10:25:34 THERE'S A LOT OF BUSINESS THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING UP.
10:25:36 WE ARE GOING TO BE IN A LOT OF MEETINGS COMING UP.
10:25:39 THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON WITH THE CITY RIGHT
10:25:42 NOW. WE ASK STAFF HOW THEIR TIMELINE IS SO THAT THEY
10:25:45 FEEL COMFORTABLE GIVING US THE CORRECT INFORMATION THAT
10:25:49 WE WILL NOT BE RUSHED?
10:25:51 IS THAT AMENABLE TO COUNCILMAN CARLSON?
10:25:56 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:25:56 I THINK IF WE SET JUNE 4th AND STAFF COMES BACK AND
10:25:59 SAYS THEY NEED LONGER, THEN WE'LL COME BACK AND PROPOSE A
10:26:02 DIFFERENT TIME.
10:26:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:26:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
10:26:10 CARLSON.
10:26:11 WHO SECONDED THE MOTION?
10:26:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I DID.
10:26:15 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO. ROLL
10:26:17 CALL VOTE, PLEASE.
10:26:18 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:26:22 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:26:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:26:26 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:26:32 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:26:34 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:26:40 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:26:41 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED.
10:26:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:26:45 IS THAT ALL, COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON?
10:26:49 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:26:49 THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
10:26:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT UP, COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
10:26:52 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:26:54 JUST TWO LITTLE THINGS.
10:26:55 ONE, ITEM 20, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO DENNIS
10:27:00 ROGERO, MARK, AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO LEE HUFFSTUTLER AND
10:27:07 HIS STAFF.
10:27:07 LEE AND HIS STAFF DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN THE
10:27:09 GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICE ASSOCIATION ISSUED A
10:27:11 CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT IN EXCELLENCE IN FINANCE
10:27:13 REPORTING TO THE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:27:15 I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:27:17 ON THE SECOND ISSUE, A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DETAIL AND
10:27:21 DEPTH, GOING BY MEMORY.
10:27:22 WHEN YOU LOOK AT FINANCES THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT
10:27:25 HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND WHERE WE ARE GOING IN THE
10:27:26 FUTURE.
10:27:28 FROM 2008 TO 2017 THE CITY LOST IN EXCESS OF $283 MILLION
10:27:32 IN LOST REVENUES FROM DEVALUATION OF PROPERTIES.
10:27:36 I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S COMING, BUT IT COULD BE COMING
10:27:40 SOONER THAN WHAT WE THINK.
10:27:41 AND COMMUNICATION TAX AND THE CITY LOST APPROXIMATELY $68
10:27:46 MILLION DURING THAT SAME TIME FROM 2008 TO 2017.
10:27:50 IN ADDITION, IF I RECALL, HEALTH INSURANCE ROSE FROM THE
10:27:54 SAME YEARS OF 2011 TO 2018, ABOUT $17 MILLION.
10:28:00 SO IT WAS NOT EASY GOING AND WE LOST HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
10:28:04 OF DOLLARS THAT WE HAD FROM MONEYS COMING IN FROM GRANTS
10:28:07 AND CERTAIN THINGS FROM OTHER GOVERNMENTS THAT WE WERE
10:28:10 HOLDING IN INTEREST OF MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
10:28:12 SO WHAT I AM SAYING IS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE
10:28:14 ADMINISTRATION BRING PERIODIC UPDATES TO THIS COUNCIL AND
10:28:18 IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ON A MONTHLY BASIS BUT EVERY
10:28:21 BIMONTHLY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING OR WHAT THEY THINK IS
10:28:24 COMING IN THE FINANCE SIDE.
10:28:25 I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THESE
10:28:28 CATASTROPHIC LOSSES.
10:28:29 I HOPE WE DON'T.
10:28:30 BUT WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER IS COMING.
10:28:33 AND THE ONLY WAY OF BEING PREPARED IS BY KNOWING WHAT IS
10:28:36 COMING.
10:28:36 AND THAT'S WHY I AM ASKING THIS, IF WE CAN ASK THE
10:28:40 ADMINISTRATION TO BRING US THEIR ASSESSMENTS OF WHAT THEY
10:28:44 THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN WE COME TO THE FINAL BUDGET
10:28:47 BEFORE THAT SEPTEMBER 2nd READING.
10:28:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:28:54 ANYTHING ELSE, MR. MIRANDA?
10:28:55 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S IT, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:28:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:28:58 COUNCILMAN CITRO.
10:29:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:29:04 JUST SOME SIMPLE HOUSECLEANING AND I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
10:29:09 WE HAVE ON THE 14th OF MAY WHEN WE WERE SCHEDULED AS
10:29:16 A QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE FDOT DURING A CRA MEETING IF
10:29:21 MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECT.
10:29:22 WE HAD MOVED THOSE QUARTERLY REPORTS OF FDOT TO CITY
10:29:25 COUNCIL, SO I HOPE THAT WE CAN GET THOSE CLEARED UP.
10:29:31 MR. CHAIR, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FOR STAFF TO APPEAR AND
10:29:36 DISCUSS TAMPA CITY COUNCIL GOING GREEN BY PROVIDING CITY
10:29:40 COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH iPads OR SOME OTHER SORT OF TABLET
10:29:44 TO DRASTICALLY CUT AND/OR REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PAPER THAT
10:29:49 IS USED FOR COUNCIL, AND COUNCIL MEETINGS.
10:29:53 I'M ASKING FOR THE BUDGET DEPARTMENT TO APPEAR AS WELL AS
10:29:57 THE IT DEPARTMENT TO SPEAK ON THE FEASIBILITY, THE COST,
10:30:02 AND THE TRANSITION PERIOD TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.
10:30:06 NOW, MR. CHAIR, I DO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE VERY, VERY
10:30:10 TIGHT ON TIME, AND THERE'S THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO NEED
10:30:13 TO BE DONE BOTH FOR CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF.
10:30:16 I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF THIS CAN BE DONE ON JULY 30th
10:30:22 AT 9:00.
10:30:23 AND I FEEL IT WOULD TAKE NO MORE THAN TEN MINUTES FOR
10:30:27 THIS REPORT TO BE DONE.
10:30:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, THAT'S A GREAT MOTION.
10:30:31 DO WE HAVE A SECOND FOR THE MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER
10:30:36 CITRO?
10:30:39 >>BILL CARLSON: SECOND, CARLSON.
10:30:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
10:30:42 CARLSON.
10:30:43 ROLL CALL VOTE.
10:30:44 ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION?
10:30:46 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JUST A CLARIFICATION.
10:30:48 SPECIFICALLY WHAT IS THE MOTION?
10:30:50 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: TO SEE ABOUT GOING TO iPads OR
10:30:55 OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES TO REDUCE PAPER WASTE BY
10:30:58 PRINTING ALL OF OUR AGENDAS AND BACKUP MATERIAL.
10:31:02 AND TO GET A REPORT ABOUT THAT AND THE COST.
10:31:06 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
10:31:07 SO THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW, THE AGENDA IS AVAILABLE ON
10:31:11 COMPUTER.
10:31:13 SOMETIMES I WOULD GET IT ON THE COMPUTER AT THE OFFICE
10:31:21 WITHOUT PAPER, SOMETIMES I WANT PAPER.
10:31:23 I THINK THAT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO EACH COUNCILMAN TO BE
10:31:27 ABLE TO PRINT OUT PORTIONS OF THE AGENDA OR ALL THE
10:31:37 DISCUSSION AT THE COUNCILMAN'S DISCRETION.
10:31:38 SOMETIMES IT'S EASIER TO READ ON THE PAPER AGENDA RATHER
10:31:41 THAN ON THE COMPUTER BASED ON HOW MUCH BACKUP THERE IS.
10:31:44 HOWEVER I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE STAFF REPORT.
10:31:47 THE AGENDA IS ALREADY ONLINE.
10:31:49 THANK YOU.
10:31:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:31:51 WE HAD A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CITRO WITH A SECOND
10:31:54 FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
10:31:55 ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE.
10:31:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:32:01 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:32:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:32:05 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:32:11 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:32:13 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:32:17 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:32:20 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED.
10:32:22 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCILMAN CITRO?
10:32:26 >>JOSEPH CITRO: CHAIR, NO, NOT AT THIS TIME.
10:32:28 I THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:32:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:32:30 COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
10:32:32 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR, MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY.
10:32:37 I REQUEST THAT WE SCHEDULE A TIME FOR FORMER COUNTY
10:32:41 COMMISSIONER MARK SHARPE AND TAMPA INNOVATION TO COME TO
10:32:46 TAMPA CITY COUNCIL, AND THIS WILL TAKE NO MORE THAN 10 OR
10:32:50 15 MINUTES IN JUNE, TO UPDATE US ON THE UPTOWN STRATEGIC
10:32:54 PLAN WHERE THEY WILL BE MAKING A REQUEST FOR FUNDS FOR
10:32:57 PLANNING PURPOSES FOR THE BUSINESS OR INNOVATION DISTRICT
10:32:59 FOR THE NORTH TAMPA USF AREA AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT
10:33:03 WITHIN OUR MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAD
10:33:06 APPROVED, I BELIEVE IT WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO.
10:33:09 SOME MEMBERS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
10:33:11 HERE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, TAKING A LONG-TERM VIEW ON
10:33:16 POVERTY AND MAKING SURE THAT THAT RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL
10:33:19 BOATS, AND I KNOW COUNCILMAN CARLSON SPOKE VERY
10:33:22 ELOQUENTLY ABOUT THAT WHEN WE BEGAN OUR REMARKS, AND THIS
10:33:26 IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT.
10:33:28 SO I WOULD MOVE FOR THAT TO OCCUR ON THE FIRST AVAILABLE
10:33:31 DATE IN JUNE.
10:33:34 I DON'T HAVE THE CALENDAR.
10:33:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I AM LOOKING AT JUNE 25th.
10:33:38 IT'S A REGULAR SESSION, OF COURSE, AT THE CONVENTION
10:33:40 CENTER.
10:33:41 AND WE HAVE AN EVENING SESSION WHICH IS BUSY, BUT THE
10:33:46 9 A.M. SESSION IF JUNE 25th WORKS.
10:33:49 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
10:33:52 AND THEN I WOULD MOVE IT TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD
10:33:56 APPEAR VIA ZOOM OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE DEPENDING ON HOW
10:34:01 MANY FOLKS WE HAVE THERE.
10:34:02 THAT WOULD BE A MINIMUM.
10:34:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
10:34:07 VIERA.
10:34:08 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
10:34:10 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND.
10:34:11 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
10:34:13 MIRANDA.
10:34:13 ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION?
10:34:14 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, WHAT TIME AND WHAT PART
10:34:17 OF THE AGENDA IS THAT SET FOR?
10:34:19 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: JUNE 25th, 9 A.M.
10:34:22 I WOULD SAY DURING CEREMONIAL ACTIVITIES AT THE
10:34:24 BEGINNING.
10:34:24 WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE SCHEDULED CEREMONIAL THAT I
10:34:28 SEE ON THE CALENDAR FOR THAT DATE AT THE CONVENTION
10:34:31 CENTER.
10:34:31 >>MARTIN SHELBY: OKAY.
10:34:35 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
10:34:36 NO?
10:34:37 WE'LL TAKE A ROLL CALL ON THIS MOTION.
10:34:39 VOTE.
10:34:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:34:44 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:34:45 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:34:50 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:34:54 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:34:56 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:35:00 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:35:02 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED.
10:35:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYTHING ELSE, MR. VIERA?
10:35:08 >>LUIS VIERA: NO, SIR.
10:35:08 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.
10:35:10 CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE.
10:35:11 AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS, I THANK MY AIDE BRANNON
10:35:21 JORDAN LAZO FOR HELPING US ALL.
10:35:24 BRANNON IS JUST A WONDERFUL WOMAN, MOTHER, FRIEND, WIFE,
10:35:29 AND SHE OCCUPIES A LOT OF ROLLS, AND THIS IS A HAT SHE
10:35:34 WORE REALLY WELL, AND I KNOW WE ARE ALL INTO HER DEBT.
10:35:36 SO GOD BLESS HER.
10:35:38 THANK YOU, SIR.
10:35:42 >> ANDREA ZELMAN: MR. CHAIR, I HAD A QUICK HOUSEKEEPING
10:35:46 ITEM.
10:35:49 THIS IS ANDREA ZELMAN.
10:35:52 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE STILL HAVE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS TO
10:35:56 GO.
10:35:57 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I APOLOGIZE.
10:35:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MEMBER CHAIR.
10:36:02 I WOULD LIKE THE STAFF TO COME BACK NEXT SCHEDULED CITY
10:36:05 COUNCIL MEETING AND GIVE A DISCUSSION UPDATE OF THE
10:36:09 BUSINESSES IN THE COVID-19 IN THE DIFFERENT ZONES AND HOW
10:36:17 THE BUSINESSES ARE DOING.
10:36:21 IS IT WORKING AS FAR AS BEING BUSINESSES BEING ABLE TO
10:36:25 GET UP TO PAR?
10:36:26 IF THEY CAN GIVE AN UPDATE ON THAT.
10:36:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO YOU HAVE A DATE ON THAT?
10:36:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES: OUR NEXT CITY COUNCIL DATE.
10:36:33 >>JOHN BENNETT: MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS IS JOHN BENNETT.
10:36:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
10:36:39 >>JOHN BENNETT: COUNCILMAN GUDES, THAT IS ONE OF THE
10:36:42 AGENDA ITEMS FOR THE 19th IS THE 1 P.M. UPDATE IF
10:36:45 THAT WILL SUFFICE. WE CAN PUT THAT IN THERE FOR THE
10:36:48 MEETING ON THE 19th.
10:36:52 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT WILL SUFFICE.
10:36:53 THANK YOU, SIR.
10:36:54 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCIL MEMBER GUDES?
10:36:57 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT'S IT.
10:36:58 THANKS.
10:36:58 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, YOU HAD MADE
10:37:01 A MOTION A FEW MINUTES AGO BUT I THINK THE LINE HAD
10:37:05 DISCONNECTED AND WE DID NOT TAKE A VOTE ON IT BECAUSE YOU
10:37:08 WERE THE MAKER OF THE AND WERE NOT AVAILABLE BY PHONE.
10:37:12 DO YOU WANT TO RESTATE THAT MOTION?
10:37:16 OR IT'S ALREADY BEEN STATED, BUT IF THE CLERK WANTS TO
10:37:19 TAKE A VOTE ON THAT NOW THAT YOU ARE PRESENT AND THEN GO
10:37:22 INTO OTHER NEW BUSINESS?
10:37:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I APPRECIATE THAT.
10:37:26 AND I APOLOGIZE TO COUNCIL FOR MY TECHNICAL SKILLS ARE
10:37:31 NOT THE BEST.
10:37:32 BUT, YES, THAT MOTION I THINK RELATED TO THE 28th, 9
10:37:39 IN THE MORNING, AND THE MOTION STANDS, AND I THINK WE
10:37:42 ALREADY HAD A SECOND.
10:37:43 BUT THANK YOU FOR DEFERRING THE VOTE, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:37:45 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MADAM CLERK, IF WE COULD GO AHEAD
10:37:48 AND TAKE A VOTE ON THAT ITEM THAT WAS SET FOR MAY
10:37:52 28th.
10:37:53 >>THE CLERK: MAY 28th?
10:37:59 DINGFELDER?
10:38:01 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:38:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:38:02 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:38:04 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:38:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:38:11 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:38:15 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:38:16 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED.
10:38:17 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER DINGFELDER, YOU HAD
10:38:22 TO MAKE A SECOND MOTION FOR I BELIEVE JUNE 18th.
10:38:26 IS THAT CORRECT?
10:38:27 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT'S WHERE I WAS HEADED BUT THEN
10:38:28 THERE WAS SOME QUESTION THAT WAS ALREADY ON THE SCHEDULE.
10:38:31 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, IT'S ALREADY ON THE CALENDAR.
10:38:34 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MAY I MAKE A SUGGESTION, COUNCIL, WITH
10:38:36 REGARD TO YOUR JUNE 18th MEETING?
10:38:39 BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR FIRST IN-PERSON
10:38:42 WORKSHOP.
10:38:42 PERHAPS SCHEDULE THIS FOR 9 A.M.
10:38:48 DO YOU WANT TO HAVE THE COMMENDATION AT THAT SITE WITH
10:38:51 SOCIAL DISTANCING, OR DO YOU WANT TO RESCHEDULE THOSE
10:38:55 COMMENDATIONS AS YOU HAVE UP UNTIL THIS POINT UNTIL AFTER
10:38:58 THE PANDEMIC IS OVER?
10:39:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I THINK WE CAN LEAVE THE POLICE
10:39:04 OFFICER OF THE MONTH UP TO THEIR DISCRETION, DEPENDING ON
10:39:07 HOW MANY FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS THEY HAVE IF THEY ARE
10:39:09 COMFORTABLE WITH THE SOCIAL DISTANCING. IF NOT, WE CAN
10:39:13 SCHEDULE IT AT A LATER DATE.
10:39:14 I KNOW THE CONVENTION CENTER IS A MUCH MORE OPEN LARGER
10:39:17 SPACE.
10:39:17 BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OFFICER OF THE MONTH,
10:39:20 AND ANY OTHER MEMBERS PARTICIPATING, FAMILY AND FRIENDS
10:39:24 AND WHATNOT, COLLEAGUES, IF THEY ARE COMFORTABLE.
10:39:26 IF THEY ARE NOT COMFORTABLE THEN HAVE THEM LET US KNOW
10:39:31 AND WE CAN RESCHEDULE TO A LATER DATE WHEN THINGS SETTLE
10:39:35 DOWN.
10:39:35 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THERE WAS A QUESTION THAT HAD COME UP.
10:39:38 THERE WAS ALREADY ON THE SCHEDULE A TWO HOUR SESSION
10:39:42 DEPARTMENTAL BRIEFINGS SCHEDULED FOR 10:00.
10:39:44 YOU CAN MOVE THAT TO 9:00.
10:39:45 THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER 10:00 WORKSHOP THAT YOU MAY WANT TO
10:39:48 CONSIDER RESCHEDULING SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE AND THAT
10:39:51 WAS FOR THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT AND
10:39:54 THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION TO APPEAR AND
10:39:56 DISCUSS WAYS ON HOW TO PLAN GROWTH AND PROTECT AREAS THAT
10:40:00 DO NOT WANT GROWTH.
10:40:01 I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU WISH TO REMOVE THAT FROM THE
10:40:04 JUNE WORKSHOP AND RESCHEDULE IT AT A TIME MORE
10:40:08 APPROPRIATE AFTER THE PANDEMIC STATE OF EMERGENCY EVENT.
10:40:11 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I THINK I WOULD LEAVE IT UP TO
10:40:14 MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
10:40:17 IF WE SEE THAT THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE AND THEY MAKE THE
10:40:20 REQUEST TO DO SO, WE CAN ALWAYS MOVE IT FORWARD.
10:40:22 WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AND A FEW MEETINGS
10:40:25 BEFORE THAT DATE.
10:40:28 BUT I WOULD LEAVE IT, NOT TO MESS TOO MUCH WITH THE
10:40:32 CALENDAR, LEAVE IT AS IT IS, UNLESS THEY MAKE A REQUEST.
10:40:37 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE WAY IT STANDS NOW, MY
10:40:41 RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO MOVE THE WORKSHOP UP, AND HOW
10:40:44 LONG DO YOU WANT TO SPEND FOR THE DEPARTMENTAL BRIEFINGS,
10:40:47 AND THEN YOU CAN ADJUST YOUR TIME FOR THE SECOND
10:40:49 WORKSHOP.
10:40:50 THE CALENDAR THE WAY IT'S SET UP WILL NEED TO BE ADJUSTED
10:40:53 TO ACCOMMODATE COUNCIL MEMBER DINGFELDER'S MOTION.
10:40:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:40:56 ANY SUGGESTIONS?
10:40:58 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: MR. CHAIR, THIS IS ANDREA ZELMAN.
10:41:01 I APOLOGIZE AGAIN.
10:41:02 IF IT WOULD HELP, THERE'S ALREADY BEEN SOME ISSUES RAISED
10:41:06 REGARDING THE JUNE 18 WORKSHOP TOPIC, THAT IT MAY OVERLAP
10:41:13 WITH SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE BEING ADDRESSED IN SOME
10:41:16 ONGOING LITIGATION, PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO QUESTIONS
10:41:20 REGARDING PARTS OF THE CITY THAT ARE LESS INTERESTED IN
10:41:27 GROWTH.
10:41:27 SO PERHAPS IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO CONTINUE THAT ITEM
10:41:32 OUT INTO THE FUTURE UNTIL WE DETERMINE A DATE THAT WE ARE
10:41:35 MORE COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT.
10:41:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF YOUR LEGAL OPINION IS TO -- WHAT
10:41:48 DOES THE REST OF COUNCIL -- HOW DO THE REST OF COUNCIL
10:41:52 FEEL ABOUT WHAT WAS JUST SAID?
10:41:54 ANY COMMENTS?
10:41:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JOHN DINGFELDER.
10:41:58 I'M SORRY, MS. GRIMES.
10:42:02 IS MS. GRIMES CHIMING IN?
10:42:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANDREA ZELMAN.
10:42:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'M SORRY. I AGREE, I'VE HEARD THAT
10:42:11 THEY WANT TO DEFER THAT TOPIC BECAUSE IT HAS POTENTIAL
10:42:15 CONFLICT AND LITIGATION.
10:42:17 I THINK I WAS THE ORIGINAL MAKER OF THE MOTION ON THAT
10:42:20 WORKSHOP TOPIC.
10:42:23 WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO, AND DO IT BY SEPARATE VOTE, MR.
10:42:25 SHELBY, RIGHT NOW I MAKE A MOTION TO DEFER THAT PLANNING
10:42:30 AND ZONING ISSUE UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
10:42:37 OUR SEPTEMBER WORKSHOP.
10:42:39 THE 24th.
10:42:40 I'LL JUST MAKE THAT AS A SINGULAR MOTION.
10:42:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:42:45 WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER DINGFELDER.
10:42:47 DO WE HAVE A SECOND TO THAT?
10:42:50 ANYONE?
10:42:56 WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON FOR
10:42:58 SEPTEMBER 24th AT THAT WORKSHOP SESSION.
10:43:02 ALL IN FAVOR, ROLL CALL.
10:43:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:43:15 >>ORLANDO GUDES: (NO RESPONSE)
10:43:17 >>THE CLERK: GUDES?
10:43:22 MANISCALCO?

10:43:25 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:43:28 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:43:29 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:43:32 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:43:35 >>MAYOR CASTOR: MOTION CARRIED WITH GUDES NOT RESPONDING.
10:43:42 IT PASSES.
10:43:47 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JUST AS A FOLLOW-UP, I'LL MOVE THE
10:43:54 STAFF DEPARTMENT BRIEFING, MOVE IT FROM 10 A.M. TO 9 A.M.
10:44:03 LET'S SAY, I DON'T KNOW, IN CASE THERE'S OTHER THINGS WE
10:44:05 NEED TO CHAT, LET'S SAY 9:15 ON JUNE -- EXCUSE ME.
10:44:17 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE 18th OF JUNE.
10:44:19 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JUNE 18th.
10:44:20 THANK YOU.
10:44:20 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
10:44:26 DINGFELDER.
10:44:26 DO WE HAVE A SECOND TO THIS MOTION?
10:44:28 >>ORLANDO GUDES: GUDES, SECOND.

10:44:41 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:44:43 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:44:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:44:51 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: (NO RESPONSE).
10:45:03 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:45:04 >> THE CLERK: AND MAY WE VERIFY IF MIRANDA WAS VOTING
10:45:07 YES OR NO?
10:45:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, ARE YOU ON THE
10:45:15 LINE?
10:45:16 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:45:17 I SAID YES.
10:45:18 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED.
10:45:20 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:45:22 ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCIL MEMBER DINGFELDER?
10:45:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NO, SIR.
10:45:27 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:45:28 I KNOW ANDREA ZELMAN HAD AN ITEM AND THEN COUNCIL
10:45:34 ATTORNEY SHELBY ALSO AS WELL.
10:45:36 SO IF WE CAN GO TO ANDREA ZELMAN, PLEASE.
10:45:40 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:45:41 BRIEFLY, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF CONSENT
10:45:44 AGENDA ITEMS APPROVED BY THE MAYOR USING HER EMERGENCY
10:45:49 POWERS DURING THE THREE HEARINGS THAT WERE CANCELED.
10:45:54 HOWEVER, THERE WERE SOME ITEMS ON THOSE THREE AGENDAS
10:45:58 THAT HAD TO BE DEFERRED BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT BE
10:46:01 APPROVED WITHOUT CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL.
10:46:07 EXECUTED BY THE MAYOR, I SHOULD SAY, WITHOUT CITY COUNCIL
10:46:09 APPROVAL.
10:46:10 SO JUST TO CLEAN THAT HOUSEKEEPING UP, I WOULD ASK THAT
10:46:14 THE COUNCIL MAKE A MOTION DIRECTING THE CLERK TO ADD ANY
10:46:19 OF THE DEFERRED ITEMS FROM THOSE THREE CANCELED MEETINGS
10:46:24 TO THE UPCOMING AGENDAS, AND OUR OFFICE IS HAPPY TO WORK
10:46:27 WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE TO MAKE SURE WE PROPERLY IDENTIFY
10:46:31 THOSE.
10:46:32 SOME OF THE ITEMS WERE ADDED TO TODAY'S AGENDA BUT THERE
10:46:34 ARE STILL SOME OTHERS THAT QUO NEED TO BE ADDED TO FUTURE
10:46:37 AGENDAS.
10:46:38 THANK YOU.
10:46:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:46:40 DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO THAT DEGREE FROM ANY COUNCIL
10:46:44 MEMBER?
10:46:55 >>LUIS VIERA: I'LL MOVE.
10:46:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO: CITRO, SECOND.
10:46:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ROLL CALL VOTE.
10:46:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.

10:47:25 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED.

10:47:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THAT IS CORRECT.
10:47:31 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I BELIEVE IT WAS, YES.
10:47:33 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED ON THAT MOTION.
10:47:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:47:38 ANYTHING ELSE, MS. ZELMAN?
10:47:42 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: NO, THANK YOU.
10:47:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, MR. SHELBY.
10:47:45 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, COUNCIL.
10:47:48 A REQUEST.

10:47:56 CRA AS REFLECTED ON THE CALENDAR BE HELD AT THE

10:48:05 FLORIDA 33602 IN MEETING ROOMS 4 THROUGH 17 ON THE FIRST
10:48:11 FLOOR, CHANNEL ENTRANCE ONLY.
10:48:16 >>THE CLERK: MR. CHAIR, IS THAT ROOMS 14 THROUGH 17, NOT
10:48:21 4 THROUGH 17?
10:48:25 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT'S 14 THROUGH 17 WHAT SHOWS ON THE
10:48:29 CALENDAR. I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT SHOWS IN THE NOTICE. IS
10:48:30 THAT NOT CORRECT?
10:48:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: FIRST FLOOR CHANNEL ENTRANCE ONLY.
10:48:36 THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON ALL OF THEM.
10:48:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, JOSEPH CITRO, SO MOVED.

10:49:21 I HAVE NOTHING MYSELF UNLESS THERE'S ANYTHING NEW.
10:49:25 NO?
10:49:25 CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE?
10:49:27 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA SO MOVED.
