09:05:43 TIME.
09:05:45 WE HAVE GOT GREAT COHESION.

09:06:18 DEPARTMENT.
09:06:22 AND VIK BHIDE OVER AT THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.
09:06:24 THIS WAS RECENTLY RENAMED FROM THE TRANSPORTATION AND
09:06:27 STORMWATER SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO REFLECT OUR NEW AND
09:06:32 INNOVATIVE LOOK AT HOW WE MANAGE TRANSPORTATION,
09:06:34 STORMWATER AND THE PUBLIC REALM UNDER THE MOBILITY
09:06:36 UMBRELLA.
09:06:43 SO, AGAIN, A STRONG TEAM OF FOLKS THAT ARE SEASONED.
09:06:45 WE ADDED UP OUR YEARS OF SERVICE IN THE HUNDREDS OF
09:06:51 YEARS AND WE ARE ALL YOUNG AND NOT TO WORRY.
09:06:54 WE WORK TOGETHER AND PROVIDE GREAT SERVICE TO YOU AND
09:06:57 FOR THAT, WE WILL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND GO OVER THE
09:06:58 DEPARTMENTS WE MANAGE.
09:07:02 THE INFRASTRUCTURE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT HAVE A VERY
09:07:05 LARGE FOOTPRINT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES WE
09:07:08 PROVIDE FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA.
09:07:14 SELECTIVELY, WE ARE ABOUT 1400 EMPLOYEES WITH SIX
09:07:16 DEPARTMENTS AND NINE DIVISIONS.
09:07:20 WITHIN OUT MOBILITY DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE OVER 1200 MILES
09:07:25 OF ROADWAYS, 145 MILES OF BICYCLE FACILITIES THAT WE
09:07:30 LOOK FORWARD TO EXPANDING EACH YEAR, 45 BRIDGES, AND AS
09:07:34 YOU CAN SEE ON SLIDE HERE, A LOT OF OTHER METRICS OF
09:07:38 THE COVERAGE THAT WE HAVE OF INFRASTRUCTURE ALL OVER
09:07:38 THE CITY.
09:07:42 UNDER OUR WATER DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE GOT OVER 220 MILES
09:07:49 OF SERVICE LINES WITH OVER 141,000 ACCOUNTS.
09:07:53 AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, OVER 14,000 FIRE HYDRANTS, ALL
09:07:57 HAVE TO BE METERED AND MONITORED AT A REGULAR BASIS.
09:08:03 IN A WASTEWATER SPACE, A 200-SQUARE-MILE SERVICE AREA
09:08:07 WITH OVER 100,000 ACCOUNTS.
09:08:11 15,000 MILES OF PIPELINE AND 220 BUMPING STATIONS THAT
09:08:15 REQUIRE ELECTRICITY, A LOT OF MONITORING AND A LOT OF
09:08:16 MANAGEMENT.
09:08:19 OUR SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE GOT OVER 80,000
09:08:21 ACCOUNTS.
09:08:26 AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE MANAGE ABOUT 360,000 TONS OF
09:08:27 SOLID WASTE EVERY YEAR.
09:08:32 LASTLY, OUR LOGISTICS AND ASSET MANAGEMENT TEAM MANAGES
09:08:36 OVER 500 CITY BUILDINGS WITH OVER 6.5 MILLION SQUARE
09:08:40 FEET OF COVERAGE AND 3200 VEHICLES IN OUR FLEET.
09:08:45 SO CLEARLY WE HAVE GOT A BIG FOOTPRINT OF STUFF,
09:08:48 INFRASTRUCTURE, SERVICES, AND PEOPLE THAT WE MANAGE,
09:08:52 AND, AGAIN, YOU HAVE A COHESIVE TEAM THAT IS WORKING
09:08:54 EVERY DAY TO MAKE SURE ALL OF THIS IS DONE AS
09:09:00 SEAMLESSLY AS POSSIBLE AND GIVING GOOD SERVICE TO THE
09:09:02 CITIZENS OF TAMPA.
09:09:04 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:09:08 THERE ARE -- OUR BUDGET TEAM GAVE A VERY THOROUGH
09:09:11 MIDYEAR BUDGET REPORT VERY RECENTLY, SO I AM NOT GOING
09:09:15 TO GO INTO THE VARIOUS SPECIFICS BUDGETS OF EACH OF THE
09:09:15 DEPARTMENTS.
09:09:20 THAT BUDGE REPORT THAT OUR BUDGET DEPARTMENT PROVIDED
09:09:23 IS ONLINE IF ANYONE WANTED TO GO AND GET MORE DETAILS
09:09:24 ON THAT.
09:09:27 BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF THE BUDGET THAT OUR
09:09:34 TEAM HAS, THE CITY'S GROSS BUDGET IS ABOUT $1.4 BILLION
09:09:37 AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND MOBILITY GROUPS COVERS ABOUT 45%
09:09:44 OF THAT BUDGET OR A LITTLE OVER 600,000 -- 600,000
09:09:45 MILLION DOLLARS.
09:09:48 SO WE HAVE GOT A HUGE PORTION OF THE CITY BUDGET
09:09:52 OVERALL.
09:09:56 ON THE CAPITAL SIDE, THE TOTAL CITY CAPITAL BUDGET A
09:09:58 LITTLE OVER $123 MILLION.
09:10:01 INFRASTRUCTURE AND MOBILITY COMPOSES $114 MILLION OF
09:10:02 THAT.
09:10:05 SO CLEARLY WE ARE THE MEAT AND POTATOES DEPARTMENT OF
09:10:09 BUILDING THINGS IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, IN THE ROADWAYS,
09:10:12 UNDER THE ROADWAYS AND IN SOME CASES BUILDING
09:10:14 STRUCTURES AS WELL.
09:10:18 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:10:21 SO I WILL START OFF AND GO THROUGH EACH OF OUR SIX
09:10:22 DEPARTMENTS.
09:10:25 I AM BASICALLY GOING TO FOCUS ON JUST THE INITIATIVES
09:10:29 AND INNOVATIONS COMING OUT OF EACH OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS
09:10:33 THAT ARE THE NEW THINGS GOING ON, NEW PROJECTS THAT WE
09:10:37 WOULD BE PROVIDING IN OUR BUDGET THAT WILL BE PRESENTED
09:10:39 TO CITY COUNCIL VERY SOON AND REQUESTING THEIR
09:10:41 APPROVAL.
09:10:45 SO I WILL START OFF WITH OUR MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.
09:10:51 WE'VE GOT A -- WHAT WE ARE CALLING OUR "TAMPA MOVES,"
09:10:55 A COMMUNITY DRIVEN PLAN TO REVISIT OUR STREETS AND THE
09:11:00 PUBLIC REALM WITH AN EYE ON PROVIDING SAFETY, ACCESS
09:11:04 AND MORE BIKE PATH OPPORTUNITY OR OUR CITIZENS.
09:11:08 THIS WILL INCLUDE A LOT OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
09:11:11 WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO PROGRESSING ON THAT WHETHER
09:11:13 VIRTUALLY OR IN PERSON.
09:11:16 AND THAT WILL BE OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND BLUEPRINT FOR
09:11:18 PROJECTS GOING FORWARD.
09:11:20 ON THE STORMWATER FRONT, WE ARE DOING A LOT OF WORK
09:11:27 WITH THE SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO
09:11:31 ADDRESS SEA LEVEL RISE, ISSUES AND DECISIONS IN MAKING
09:11:35 SURE OUR STORMWATER PROJECTS ARE PLANNED AND DESIGNED
09:11:39 WITH AN EYE ON THE FUTURE AND ANTICIPATING THOSE FUTURE
09:11:42 CHANGES WITH SEA LEVEL RISE.
09:11:45 OUR SMART MOBILITY DIVISION WITHIN THE MOBILITY
09:11:48 DEPARTMENT IS REALLY OUR AREA OF INNOVATION.
09:11:53 WE HAVE GOT AN ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT
09:11:55 IS BEING BUILT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY WHICH IS A
09:11:57 $40 MILLION INITIATIVE.
09:12:00 AND A CONNECTED VEHICLE PROJECT WE ARE WORKING ON WITH
09:12:03 THE TAMPA HILLSBOROUGH EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY THAT WILL
09:12:07 BASICALLY CONNECT VEHICLES, PEOPLE, AND THE ROADWAY ALL
09:12:11 THROUGH APPLICATIONS ON SMARTPHONES TO PROVIDE MORE
09:12:17 SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY FOR ALL USERS OF THE ROAD --
09:12:17 RIGHT-OF-WAY.
09:12:22 AND LASTLY, WE ARE LOOKING TO MODERNIZE OUR PARKING
09:12:25 SYSTEM, LOOKING AT REVENUE RATES, AND ALSO MORE
09:12:29 SEAMLESS WAYS TO GET FOLKS IN AND OUT OF OUR GARAGES
09:12:32 THAT ARE PLANNING FOR THEM TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY ARE
09:12:35 GOING TO BE PARKING WHEN THEY COME DOWNTOWN SO THEY
09:12:41 HAVE A QUICKER TRIP IN AND OUT OF OUR DOWNTOWN AREA.
09:12:44 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:12:50 INNOVATIONS THAT THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT HAS GOING ON.
09:12:53 ONE OF THE NEW BUZZWORDS OUT THERE IS TACTICAL
09:12:56 URBANISM.
09:12:59 BASICALLY THIS IS A WAY TO LOOK AT LOW-COST MEASURES TO
09:13:03 PROVIDE IMPROVED SAFETY AND CREATE BETTER SPACES.
09:13:08 WE WANT TO DO BETTER AND BE SMARTER ABOUT HOW WE DESIGN
09:13:10 AND PLAN THE SPACE THAT WE ALL USE OUT THERE WHICH IS
09:13:12 THE ROADWAY AND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
09:13:16 WE HAVE GOT SOME REALTIME INSIGHTS LOOKING AT
09:13:18 INFRASTRUCTURE RESILIENCE.
09:13:20 A LOT OF PILOT PRODUCTS.
09:13:24 WE ARE BEING VERY INNOVATIVE SUCH AS A SOLAR SIDEWALK
09:13:27 PROJECT WHERE WE ARE USING THE SOLAR OPPORTUNITIES FROM
09:13:33 SIDEWALK PANELS TO ENERGIZE TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
09:13:35 SO WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE INNOVATIVE AND LOOK
09:13:38 FOR WAYS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO WORK
09:13:42 TOGETHER TO PROVIDE EFFICIENCIES AND SAVE MONEY.
09:13:46 WE WANT TO FOSTER NEW MOBILITY.
09:13:49 THE PUBLIC DEMANDS ARE CHANGING OUT THERE.
09:13:52 NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO DRIVE A CAR ANYMORE AND HAVE THAT
09:13:55 SINGLE CAR FREEDOM THAT MANY OF US ENJOYED WHEN WE WERE
09:13:56 KIDS.
09:14:00 MOBILITY AS A SERVICE IS A BIG MOVEMENT WHERE FOLKS
09:14:04 WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AN APPLICATION ON THEIR PHONE,
09:14:08 CHOOSE THEIR JOURNEYS THROUGH EITHER A SCOOTER, AN
09:14:16 UBER, A BUS, A BOAT, A TRANSIT OPPORTUNITY, ALL MODES
09:14:19 OUT THERE WILL BE CONNECTED THROUGH THE MOBILITIES AND
09:14:20 SURFACE APPLICATION.
09:14:23 WE CAN PLAN YOUR TRIP WITH SEVERAL MODES TO GET FROM
09:14:26 POINT A TO POINT B.
09:14:32 MICROMOBILITIES IS ON THE FOREFRONT OF CHANGING THE WAY
09:14:33 HOW WE GET AROUND.
09:14:35 MANY OF ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE SCOOTERS IN OUR
09:14:37 DOWNTOWN AND OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY.
09:14:39 WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THESE TYPE
09:14:42 OF DEVICES TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND TO OUR
09:14:45 VISITORS AND TO BE USED AS AN ACTUAL TRANSPORTATION
09:14:49 OPTION FOR PEOPLE TO GET AROUND WHERE THEY NEED TO GO.
09:14:53 LATELY, CURBSIDE HAS BECOME THE NEW PRIME REAL ESTATE
09:14:54 SPACE.
09:14:56 AND SO WE ARE GOING TO DO THINGS TO MANAGE OUR
09:15:03 CURBSIDES TO MAXIMIZE FREIGHT DROP-OFFS, PICKUPS, AND
09:15:06 OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT GO ALONGSIDE THAT CURBSIDE WITH
09:15:10 UBER AND LYFT AND OTHER COMPANIES THAT WANT TO USE THE
09:15:11 SPACE IN THE SERVICES THEY ARE PROVIDING.
09:15:15 LOOKING AT OUR PARKING GARAGES, WE WANT TO HAVE A
09:15:18 FRICTIONLESS SYSTEM WHERE YOU CAN GET IN AND OUT OF THE
09:15:21 GARAGE MORE SEAMLESSLY.
09:15:23 PAYMENTS AND ENFORCEMENT CAN BE DONE THROUGH
09:15:24 TECHNOLOGY.
09:15:27 SO WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING TO APPLYING THESE THINGS
09:15:32 TO OUR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAXIMIZING THE
09:15:35 ACCESS THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY.
09:15:36 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:15:39 SO MOVE ON TO OUR SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT.
09:15:44 AGAIN, WE HAVE GOT SAL RUGGIERO AND MARK WILFALK HEADED
09:15:45 UP THIS DEPARTMENT.
09:15:49 THEY HAVE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN THIS DEPARTMENT.
09:15:54 WE HAVE OUR MCKAY BAY WASTE ENERGY OPERATION AND
09:15:56 MAINTENANCE TRANSITION GOING ON.
09:16:00 THIS IS A VERY INNOVATIVE EFFORT.
09:16:03 ONLY ONE OF TWO IN THE U.S. THAT HAVE OCCURRED WHERE WE
09:16:07 ARE GOING FROM A PRIVATE SECTOR PROTOCOL TO HAVING A
09:16:10 FULLY CITY-MANAGED SYSTEM.
09:16:13 AND THE OFFICIAL DATE FOR THAT TO START IS ACTUALLY
09:16:14 JUNE 1.
09:16:16 SO WE HAVE A TEAM OF FOLKS HERE IN THE CITY THAT HAVE
09:16:19 BEEN WORKING ON IT TO MAKE SURE THAT TRANSITION IS
09:16:21 SEAMLESS AND SMOOTH.
09:16:24 WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ACTUAL SAVINGS BY THIS CHANGE
09:16:29 OF AT LEAST $5 MILLION PER YEAR THROUGH THE EFFICIENCY
09:16:31 CHANGES THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS
09:16:33 NOW.
09:16:37 WE HAVE A NEW TRANSFER STATION, MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS,
09:16:40 THAT OUR CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION IS MANAGING ON BEHALF
09:16:42 OF THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT.
09:16:49 THIS IS A $43 MILLION STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY TO GIVE
09:16:52 MORE OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSFERRING AND BRINGING IN THOSE
09:16:54 ITEMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DROPPED OFF AND TRANSFERRED
09:16:59 ULTIMATELY TO THE MCKAY BAY WASTE ENERGY PLANT.
09:17:01 ANOTHER THING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT WITH SOLID WASTE
09:17:02 IS CUSTOMER SERVICE.
09:17:06 AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING AT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THE
09:17:10 SERVICE RELATIONSHIPS AND DO BETTER TO GIVE ROUTE
09:17:14 SERVICE AND RESPONSE TIMES TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
09:17:18 AND SO WE ARE MAKING SOME CHANGES WITH OUR CALL CENTER
09:17:21 TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL PROTOCOLS THAT WILL GIVE US
09:17:25 BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR OUR TAMPA CITIZENS.
09:17:28 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:17:32 ON THE INNOVATION FRONT WITH SOLID WASTE, WE ARE
09:17:39 PLEASED WITH THE COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS PROTOCOLS THAT
09:17:43 WE HAVE INCORPORATED INTO OUR SYSTEM AND INTO OUR
09:17:43 FLEET.
09:17:47 WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN A CARBON EMISSION REDUCTION BY
09:17:49 OVER 1.5 MILLION POUNDS.
09:17:54 AND WE ARE SEEING EXPENSE REDUCTIONS BY ABOUT $500,000.
09:17:58 WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY TO APPLY
09:18:02 THAT TO OUR FLEET OF VEHICLES TO MAXIMIZE OUR SERVICE
09:18:05 AND TO MINIMIZE OUR COSTS.
09:18:07 RECYCLE SOMETHING ALWAYS A CHALLENGE.
09:18:10 BELIEVE IT OR NOT, RECYCLING CAN BE A VERY EXPENSIVE
09:18:13 UNDERTAKING.
09:18:17 BUT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FIND THAT SWEET SPOT OF
09:18:21 PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES ALONG WITH
09:18:26 WAYS TO IMPROVE AND ENHANCE OUR RECYCLING PROGRAM SO
09:18:29 THAT WE ARE GETTING THE MOST OUT OF PROVIDING THAT
09:18:33 OPPORTUNITY TO OUR CITIZENS TO HAVE A RECYCLING AND
09:18:37 SUSTAINABILITY OPTION FOR THE SOLID WASTE THAT THEY ARE
09:18:38 PROVIDING.
09:18:42 WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT OUR ROUTES TO TRY TO OPTIMIZE
09:18:45 AND COME UP WITH THE BEST WAYS TO DETERMINE HOW AND
09:18:50 WHEN TO PICK UP THROUGHOUT OUR CITY FOOTPRINT OF
09:18:50 SERVICE.
09:18:54 AND SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO TWEAK THAT AND PROVIDE
09:18:57 IMPROVED SERVICE DELIVERY TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
09:19:00 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:19:03 LOGISTICS AND ASSET MANAGEMENT.
09:19:06 THIS DEPARTMENT IS BASICALLY THE GROUP THAT KEEPS US
09:19:08 RUNNING.
09:19:12 THEY PROVIDE FOR OUR BUILDINGS AND OUR FLEET AND THEY
09:19:16 ARE KEY TO ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY TO MAKE
09:19:19 SURE WE HAVE THOSE ASSETS AVAILABLE TO US WHEN WE NEED
09:19:20 THEM.
09:19:23 AND THEY ARE PROVIDED IN A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE MANNER
09:19:24 FOR ALL OF US TO USE.
09:19:29 SO WE HAVE GOT A FEW INNOVATIVE INITIATIVES GOING ON IN
09:19:30 THIS DEPARTMENT.
09:19:37 WE HAVE GOT SOME HVAC CHILLERS, AC PACKAGE UNITS, SPLIT
09:19:40 SYSTEMS THAT WE WILL BE UPGRADING TO BRING MORE
09:19:45 EFFICIENCY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY TO THOSE SYSTEMS.
09:19:50 WE WILL BE INSTALLING CONTROL SYSTEMS AND HVAC AND
09:19:54 LIGHTNING TO CONTROL TO HAVE BETTER UTILIZATION OF
09:20:00 THOSE SYSTEMS AND MINIMIZE THE -- OR MAXIMIZE THE USE
09:20:02 WHEN NEEDED.
09:20:07 WE HAVE A LIGHTING UPGRADE TO LEDS.
09:20:09 TECO HAS A PROGRAM.
09:20:14 LEDS IS A NEW LIGHTING PROTOCOL BEING USED NATIONALLY
09:20:16 AND GLOBALLY.
09:20:18 MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT WAY TO LIGHT OUR BUILDINGS AND
09:20:20 OUR ROADWAYS.
09:20:24 WE ARE GOING TO REPLACE OUR OUTDATED LIGHTNING WITH LED
09:20:26 LIGHTING IN THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR BUILDINGS.
09:20:31 A CLEANER, BRIGHTER LIGHT IN MORE EFFICIENT ENERGY USE.
09:20:36 WE HAVE A RESILIENCY PLAN FOR ALL OF OUR CITY ASSETS.
09:20:39 THAT PLAN INCLUDES HARDENING OUR BUILDINGS, REPLACING
09:20:45 WINDOWS, DOORS, GARAGE DOORS, ROOF UPGRADES, AND
09:20:49 CONVERTING OUR LIGHT DUTY FLEET TO HYBRIDS.
09:20:52 SOME OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN RECENTLY WITH ITEMS
09:20:56 THAT HAVE COME ACROSS YOUR DESK, COUNCILMEMBERS, WHERE
09:20:58 WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PURCHASE VEHICLES THAT ARE OF A
09:21:04 HYBRID OR ELECTRIC STYLE, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE WE CAN SEE
09:21:07 SAVINGS LONG TERM WITH THESE TYPE OF PURCHASES.
09:21:11 WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT ON THOSE REQUESTS.
09:21:14 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:21:18 ALWAYS TRYING TO BE INNOVATIVE IN THE LOGISTICS AND
09:21:19 ASSET MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT.
09:21:22 WITH THE COVID SITUATION WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED HAS
09:21:26 CREATED WHAT EVERYONE IS CALLING "THE NEW NORMAL" OF
09:21:27 COURSE.
09:21:30 SO WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD PROTECTION MEASURES AS OUR
09:21:36 STAFF THAT HAVE BEEN TELEWORKING START TO COME BACK AND
09:21:37 HAVE MORE FOLKS IN OUR BUILDING.
09:21:39 WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THINGS GOING ON.
09:21:42 WE HAVE A SOLID WASTE CALL CENTER SET UP WITH
09:21:45 ANTI-MICROBIAL FURNITURE.
09:21:48 THESE CALL CENTERS USUALLY HOUSE FOLKS THAT ARE SITTING
09:21:49 CLOSE TOGETHER.
09:21:52 SO WE ARE GOING TO MAKE CHANGES TO ENSURE THAT OUR
09:21:56 WORKERS ARE SAFE WHEN THEY ARE ON THE JOB AND WORKING
09:21:58 IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.
09:22:01 WE HAVE GOT SNEEZE GUARDS IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE
09:22:03 PLACED AS YOU ARE SEEING THOSE IN OTHER FACILITIES NOW
09:22:06 WHEN YOU ARE OUT SHOPPING.
09:22:08 THEY ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER THE PLACE.
09:22:13 WE HAVE GOT IMPROVED SOLUTIONS FOR NO-TOUCH OPTIONS,
09:22:18 AUTOMATIC DOORS AND DISPENSERS REDUCE TOUCH POINTS.
09:22:23 WE WILL IMPROVE HEALTH AND SAFETY BY MINIMIZING THAT
09:22:23 SITUATION.
09:22:27 LASTLY, WE WILL BE LOOKING AT ANTI-MICROBIAL FURNITURE
09:22:33 FOR OUR CITYWIDE BUILDINGS TO ADD THAT EXTRA LAYER OF
09:22:36 HEALTH AND SAFETY FOR OUR WORKERS.
09:22:40 NEXT SLIDE.
09:22:42 WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR WATER DEPARTMENT.
09:22:45 WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT WE RECEIVED FROM COUNCIL
09:22:51 RECENTLY WITH THE PIPE PROJECTS THAT WE PRESENTED.
09:22:54 WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY PROJECTS COMING OUT OF
09:22:59 THAT PROGRAM, SO WE HAVE GOT ONE OF THE FIRST WITH THE
09:23:04 DAVID L. TIPPIN WATER TREATMENT FACILITY AND
09:23:05 DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.
09:23:09 MAJOR PROJECT THAT INVOLVES 100 MILES OF PIPE
09:23:12 REPLACEMENTS WITHIN FIRST FIVE YEARS AND RENEWAL AND
09:23:17 REPLACEMENT OF THE 100-YEAR-OLD TREATMENT FACILITIES.
09:23:19 SO WE HAVE BEEN ON BORROWED TIME WITH SOME OF THIS
09:23:20 INFRASTRUCTURE.
09:23:23 WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST TO EXTEND THE USEFUL LIFE, BUT WE
09:23:28 ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A LOT OF IMPROVED PROJECTS THAT
09:23:32 WILL ENSURE A LONG-LASTING SYSTEM GOING FORWARD.
09:23:36 AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE GOT THOSE 14,000 FIRE HYDRANTS
09:23:38 OUT THERE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
09:23:41 WE ARE LOOKING AT AN ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE
09:23:46 PROGRAM TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE BETTER LEAK DETENTION,
09:23:51 IMPROVED CONSERVATION AND IMPROVED METERING AND BILLING
09:23:52 TRANSPARENCY FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
09:23:55 THIS HAS BEEN A PROGRAM IN THE WORKS FOR A WHILE.
09:24:02 AND WE WILL SEE A GREAT RETURN ON WATER SAVINGS AS WELL
09:24:06 AS FINANCIAL SAVINGS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
09:24:10 LASTLY, WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING ON A WATER REUSE
09:24:15 PROJECT TO IMPROVE SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY.
09:24:18 WE WILL BE WORKING WITH TAMPA BAY WATER AND OTHER
09:24:21 STAKEHOLDERS AND ANTICIPATE LEGISLATION COMING DOWN
09:24:22 FROM TALLAHASSEE.
09:24:26 WE HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS OF WATER REUSE, AND SO WE ARE
09:24:28 PREPARED TO MAKE DECISIONS AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS
09:24:32 THAT WE WILL BE CERTAINLY SHARING AND TALKING WITH OUR
09:24:34 CITY COUNCIL WITH.
09:24:39 NEXT SLIDE.
09:24:42 WE HAVE A LOT OF INNOVATIONS IN THE WATER DEPARTMENT.
09:24:46 ONE OF THE KEY PROJECTS GOING ON IS AN ION EXCHANGE
09:24:50 PILOT PROJECT AT OUR WATER TREATMENT FACILITY.
09:24:56 THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST ION EXCHANGE FACILITIES, AND
09:24:59 IT IS GOING TO BRING GREAT ENVIRONMENT APPEAR BENEFIT
09:25:05 FOR ADDING THIS ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL TO THAT FACILITY.
09:25:08 WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT OUR WORK FORCE IN OUR
09:25:09 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
09:25:14 WE ARE RETOOLING OUR SKILLED-BASED MATRIX AT THE WATER
09:25:17 TREATMENT FACILITY TO PROVIDE FOR QUICKER TRAINING FOR
09:25:20 OUR EMPLOYEES AND MORE FLEXIBILITY WORK FORCE.
09:25:23 YOU KNOW, WE HAVE GOT TO KEEP AN EYE ON OUR WORK FORCE
09:25:27 IN TERMS OF HAVING CONSTANT REDUNDANCY.
09:25:31 WE HAD ISSUES IN THE RECENT PAST WHERE WE WERE HAVING A
09:25:33 LOT OF FOLKS AGING AND RETIRING.
09:25:37 SO WE HAVE GOT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THESE SPECIALIZED
09:25:40 WORKERS READY TO STEP UP AND TAKE THE PLACE THAT ARE
09:25:42 STEPPING OUT FOR RETIREMENT.
09:25:46 ALLOW THESE -- A LOT THESE JOBS ARE SPECIALIZED AND
09:25:47 REQUIRE A LOT OF TRAINING.
09:25:50 SO WE ARE CONSTANTLY MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE
09:25:53 PROPER WORK FORCE TO SUPPORT THE COMPLEX INFRASTRUCTURE
09:25:57 THAT WE ARE TASKED WITH MANAGING.
09:26:01 WE HAVE GOT A HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT TO PROVIDE ENOUGH
09:26:05 ENERGY TO POWER A LARGE PORTION OF THE SLUDGE
09:26:06 PROCESSING FACILITY.
09:26:11 AND, AGAIN, IMPROVING SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY AND
09:26:13 LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PROJECT BRINGING GREAT BENEFITS
09:26:15 IN THAT REGARD.
09:26:19 FINALLY, WE DID A LOT OF WORK TO EXPLORE HOW WE CAN
09:26:24 IMPROVE OUR CUSTOMER SERVICES TO A WATER DEPARTMENT
09:26:25 PROJECT.
09:26:30 AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO APPLYING SOME OF THE
09:26:34 RECOMMENDATIONS WE DEVELOPED AND POSSIBLY REPLICATING
09:26:39 THOSE IN OUR OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE
09:26:43 CONSISTENT AND OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE
09:26:45 WATER DEPARTMENT AND IN ALL OF OUR OTHER DEPARTMENTS AS
09:26:47 WELL.
09:26:51 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:26:52 WASTEWATER.
09:26:55 WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT HAS A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES.
09:26:59 MANY OF YOU, AGAIN, ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PIPE PROJECT
09:27:01 THAT WE KICKED OFF.
09:27:06 AND ONE OF THOSE BIG PROJECTS WITHIN THAT PROGRAM IS A
09:27:12 -- A PROJECT AT THE HOWARD F. CURRAN ADVANCE WASTEWATER
09:27:14 TREATMENT PLANT AND THE COLLECTION SYSTEM THAT FEEDS
09:27:16 INTO THAT PLANT.
09:27:21 WE HAVE GOT PLANNED 445 MILES OF PIPE REHABILITATION
09:27:28 THAT WILL OCCUR OVER FIRST FIVE YEARS, AND RESTORED USE
09:27:36 OF BIOGOS FOR -- FOR CO-GENERATION OF ELECTRICAL POWER.
09:27:42 WE HAVE GOT TO CONSTANTLY LOOK AT MAINTAINING OUR
09:27:44 INFRASTRUCTURE DURING HURRICANE SEASON OR ANY OTHER
09:27:47 EMERGENCY OR STORM SITUATION THAT COMES ALONG.
09:27:52 SO WE ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING TO ENHANCE THE
09:27:55 SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE OF OUR SYSTEM.
09:27:57 WE HAVE GOT A PIPE CLEANING PROJECT UNDER WAY TO ENSURE
09:28:02 THAT OUR LARGE DIAMETER PIPES ARE CLEANED AND ABLE TO
09:28:06 BE HANDLING ANY ADDITIONAL CAPACITIES THAT OFTEN OCCUR
09:28:06 DURING STORMS.
09:28:11 AND ALSO ENSURING THAT OUR STANDBY GENERATORS ARE READY
09:28:13 FOR OUR PUMPING STATIONS.
09:28:17 AS YOU RECALL, WITH SOME OF THE PAST STORMS, WE HAD
09:28:21 HEADLINES OF WASTEWATER OVERFLOWS AT SOME OTHER CITIES
09:28:22 IN THE AREA.
09:28:26 WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO BE IN THAT CATEGORY, SO THIS
09:28:28 WORK WILL ENSURE THAT WE MINIMIZE THOSE TYPE OF
09:28:31 SITUATIONS FROM OCCURRING.
09:28:35 ANOTHER IMPORTANT ITEM IS RENEWING OUR FDE PERMIT,
09:28:37 WHICH TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO PUT TOGETHER.
09:28:41 IT IS A VERY COMPLEX PROCESS TO PROVIDE ALL THE
09:28:44 INFORMATION THAT IS REQUIRED, BUT WE ARE LOOKING
09:28:47 FORWARD TO GETTING THAT RENEWAL FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS
09:28:48 FROM THE FDEP.
09:28:52 WE HAVE A GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM, AND WE
09:28:55 PLAN TO CONTINUE -- TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM IN
09:28:56 THAT REGARD.
09:29:00 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:29:03 ANOTHER BIG PROJECT UNDER THE PROGRAM THAT MANY OF ARE
09:29:09 YOU FAMILIAR WITH IS THE HARBOR ISLAND FORCE MAIN
09:29:09 REPLACEMENT.
09:29:12 THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CIVIL ENGINEERING DREAM PROJECTS
09:29:17 THAT WILL HAVE A LOT OF USF STUDENTS WHO WOULD BE
09:29:20 INTERESTED IN GET A GLIMPSE INFORM WHEN IT GETS UNDER
09:29:20 WAY.
09:29:24 ONE OF THE WORLD'S LONGEST MICRO TUNNELS OF A 16-INCH
09:29:27 DIAMETER PIPE THAT WILL BE INVOLVED WITH THIS FORCE
09:29:28 MAIN PROJECT.
09:29:31 SO I AM SURE WE WILL BE IN SOME OF THOSE PUBLICATIONS
09:29:36 OUT THERE AND GETTING SOME HEADLINES BECAUSE OF THIS
09:29:39 VERY MASSIVE PROJECT UNDER WAY AS PART OF A PROGRAM.
09:29:44 AGAIN, WORK FORCE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN OUR WASTEWATER
09:29:47 DEPARTMENT AS IT IS IN THE WATER DEPARTMENT, SO WE ARE
09:29:51 GOING TO BE LOOKED AT OUR SKILLS BASED MATRIX AT OUR
09:29:54 WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND MAKING SURE THAT --
09:29:57 WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.
09:30:00 MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE HIRING TRAINEES, AND COMING UP
09:30:05 WITH A PLAN FOR DEVELOPING SKILLS AND MOVING THOSE
09:30:09 FOLKS UP WITHIN THE MATRIX STRUCTURE OF THIS
09:30:11 DEPARTMENT.
09:30:16 WE HAVE HAD A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BREWERY
09:30:23 AND HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THEM TO OVER 1.3
09:30:26 MILLION GALLONS OF DISPOSED BEER.
09:30:30 WHEN THIS RESTAURANT SHUT DOWN THIS BEER HAD TO SIT AND
09:30:34 NOT GET SERVED AND A BIG PROBLEM TO DISPOSE OF THAT
09:30:37 PRODUCT ONCE IT BECOMES IN A SPOILED CONDITION.
09:30:40 WE WERE ABLE TO ASSIST RESTAURANTS WITH THE DISPOSAL
09:30:47 PLAN THAT THEY WERE VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN AND ANOTHER
09:30:52 INNOVATIVE THING TO HAVE A THREE-PARTY OPPORTUNITY TO
09:30:56 TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND MAKE IS A WIN-WIN FOR
09:30:57 EVERYONE.
09:30:58 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:31:03 SO THAT HAS BEEN A QUICK BUZZ THROUGH ALL OF THE
09:31:06 MULTITUDE OF PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS WE HAVE GOING ON,
09:31:08 BUT WE COULDN'T GET ANY OF THIS DONE WITHOUT OUR
09:31:10 CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT.
09:31:13 BESIDES MANAGING ALL OF OUR ENGINEERING AND
09:31:18 ARCHITECTURE CONTRACTS, THE CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
09:31:21 DEPARTMENT ALSO MANAGES ALL THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE
09:31:25 CITY THAT OCCURS OUT IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND ON
09:31:26 PROPERTY THAT WE OWN.
09:31:30 SO EVERYTHING FROM VERTICAL STRUCTURES, SUCH AS THE NEW
09:31:35 TAMPA REC CENTER TO PIPELINE UNDERGROUND SUCH AS THE
09:31:39 UPPER PENINSULA DRAINAGE PROJECT.
09:31:42 FORCE MAINS UNDER GROUND LIKE THE WATER MAIN PROJECTS
09:31:43 GOING ON.
09:31:49 AND ROADWAY PROJECTS SUCH AS 34TH STREET PROJECT, OUR
09:31:53 CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT IS OUT THERE IN THE
09:31:57 RIGHTS-OF-WAY WORKING TO MANAGE THESE PRODUCTS --
09:32:01 PROJECTS EVERY SINGLE DAY AND MECHANISM TO GET THE WORK
09:32:03 DONE AND GET THE INFRASTRUCTURE BUILT.
09:32:05 SO WITH THAT, I WILL PAUSE.
09:32:08 THAT IS THE READER'S DIGEST OF ALL OF THE WORK THAT
09:32:11 GOES ON UNDER THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND MOBILITY UMBRELLA.
09:32:15 ALL OF OUR WEB SITES ARE KEPT UP TO DATE.
09:32:19 SO YOU CAN GO TO ANY OF OUR DEPARTMENTS AND LOOK AT
09:32:21 PROJECT PLANS THAT ARE GOING ON.
09:32:23 WE HAVE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IN ALL OF OUR
09:32:24 DEPARTMENTS AS WELL.
09:32:26 SO WE ARE HERE TO SERVE.
09:32:29 AT THIS POINT, IF THERE IS A QUESTION THAT THE COUNCIL
09:32:33 WOULD LIKE TO ASK, WE WILL GO INTO THE NEXT SLIDE FOR
09:32:36 THE QUESTION-AND-ANSWER SECTION.
09:32:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
09:32:38 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:32:42 I WILL GO DOWN THE LIST HERE.
09:32:46 COUNCILMEMBER CARLSON, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
09:32:49 >>BILL CARLSON: I WILL HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS BUT
09:32:52 MS. DUNCAN I WILL TALK TO YOU OFF LINE FOR ALL OF
09:32:53 THEM.
09:32:54 A QUESTION FROM THE PUBLIC.
09:32:58 REMEMBER A FEW MONTHS AGO WE CITY COUNCIL ASKED THE
09:33:01 TRANSMIT THE DEPARTMENT AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
09:33:04 TO BE CAREFUL OF THE BRICKS UNDER STREETS AS THE PIPES
09:33:06 PROJECT IS BEING DEVELOPED.
09:33:10 CAN YOU JUST REITERATE FOR THE PUBLIC WHAT THE CITY'S
09:33:13 COMMITMENT IS TO PROTECT THE BRICKS UNDERNEATH THE
09:33:15 ASPHALT AND UNDERNEATH THE STREETS?
09:33:19 >> YES, WE EQUALLY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE BRICKS.
09:33:23 WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT DOES PROTECT THOSE BRICKS.
09:33:27 AS WE GET THE PIPES PROJECTS UNDERWAY WE WILL BE
09:33:30 SALVAGING AS MANY BRICKS AS POSSIBLE.
09:33:34 AND WE HAVE A STORAGE LOCATION WHERE WE CAN CLEAN AND
09:33:39 STORE THOSE BRICKS FOR FUTURE USE, MOSTLY WITHIN OUR
09:33:40 INTERSECTIONS.
09:33:44 AND IF YOU DON'T MIND, I WILL LET OUR MOBILITY DIRECTOR
09:33:49 ADD A LITTLE MORE TO THAT QUESTION.
09:33:52 >> YES, THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN FOR THE QUESTION, BECAUSE
09:33:55 IT IS IMPORTANT TO US.
09:33:58 A COUPLE OF OTHER MEASURES THAT WE ARE TAKING TO ENSURE
09:34:02 THAT OUR BRICK STREETS ARE PRESERVED AND ALSO THROUGH
09:34:08 THE MOVES PLAN EXPANDS AS PART OTHER PROJECTS IS AT THE
09:34:13 DESIGN LEVEL, WE HAVE INCORPORATED -- YOU KNOW, RIGHT
09:34:17 WHEN WE WERE PROCURING THESE PROJECTS WITH QUESTIONS
09:34:21 SPECIFICALLY AROUND BRICK PRESERVATION, BRICK STREET
09:34:24 PRESERVATION AND THIS WILL ALSO BE INCORPORATED AS PART
09:34:26 OF DESIGN REVIEWS.
09:34:31 SO THERE WILL BE QAQC OF THE MEANS AND METHODS UP FRONT
09:34:35 DURING THE DESIGN AND INSPECTED AS THE PROJECTS GET
09:34:36 DELIVERED.
09:34:40 THE TRANSPORTATION ASPECT OF THE PIPES PROGRAM WILL, OF
09:34:43 COURSE, WILL BE ONE OF THE LAST THINGS TO BE DONE ONCE
09:34:45 THE SUBSURFACE WORK IS COMPLETE.
09:34:49 SO WE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT RIGHT BEFORE
09:34:51 THE JOB IS COMPLETE.
09:34:51 >> GREAT.
09:34:52 THANK YOU.
09:34:53 JUST A QUICK COMMENT.
09:34:59 MOST OFTEN COMMENTS I HEAR FROM CONSTITUENTS IN
09:34:59 NEIGHBORHOODS.
09:35:08 NUMBER ONE, THEY WOULD LIKE MORE COMMUNICATION IN
09:35:11 ADVANCE OF THEIR ROADS BEING RIPPED UP.
09:35:15 DESPITE WHATEVER GOOD EFFORT THAT THE CITY HAS, THEY
09:35:18 DON'T KNOW THEIR ROAD WILL BE RIPPED UP OR KNOWN FOR
09:35:20 THE LAST MINUTE AND THERE WILL BE LAST MINUTE REPAIRS
09:35:21 TO BE DONE.
09:35:24 BUT THE OTHER THING IS ESPECIALLY IF THE SUPREME COURT
09:35:27 RULES AGAINST TRANSPORTATION, PEOPLE ARE WONDERING WHEN
09:35:30 THEIR ROADS WILL BE REPAVED AND WHEN THE POTHOLES WILL
09:35:31 BE REDONE.
09:35:35 SO I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO ANSWER THAT WHOLE QUESTION
09:35:38 RIGHT NOW, BUT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT
09:35:40 IS HAPPENING ON THEIR STREETS AND THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
09:35:41 THANK YOU.
09:35:43 THANKS FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING.
09:35:44 >> THANK YOU.
09:35:45 >> THANK YOU.
09:35:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:35:51 NEXT UP IS COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
09:35:52 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
09:35:55 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I LIKE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING
09:35:58 BEFORE -- IT IS A LOT TO DIGEST AND YOU APPRECIATE ALL
09:36:01 THE EFFORTS OF THE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY EMPLOYEES
09:36:03 ARE DOING UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
09:36:06 AND I HOPE THAT DUE TO THIS FINANCIAL STRAIN THAT
09:36:08 QUESTIONER GOING TO BE IN FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME, I
09:36:11 BELIEVE, THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS THAT
09:36:14 MS. DUNCAN SPOKE ABOUT IN A TIMELY MANNER.
09:36:16 BUT I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S EFFORT.
09:36:17 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
09:36:19 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:36:23 COUNCILMEMBER CITRO.
09:36:24 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
09:36:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
09:36:32 MS. DUNCAN, THANK YOU FOR WHERE YOU ARE REPORT.
09:36:33 RECYCLING WITHIN THE CITY.
09:36:39 IT HAS BECOME -- COST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO MAKE IT EASIER,
09:36:44 I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY FOR BOTH SOLID WASTE AND FOR THE
09:36:45 CITIZENS.
09:36:49 WOULD WE THOUGHT OF CENTRALIZED LOCATIONS IN EAST
09:36:52 DISTRICT SO PEOPLE COULD DROP OFF THE RECYCLING INSTEAD
09:36:56 OF OUR TRUCKS ROAMING AROUND -- EXCUSE ME GOING UP AND
09:36:58 DOWN THE STREETS AND COLLECTING RECYCLING.
09:37:01 NUMBER TWO, I UNDERSTAND WE ARE GETTING HELP WITH THE
09:37:02 LED LIGHTS FROM TECO.
09:37:08 IS THERE A TIME FRAME FOR OUR STREETS TO BE FULLY LED?
09:37:11 AND WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME FOR THE CITY -- FOR OUR
09:37:16 BUILDINGS TO BECOME LED?
09:37:19 >> THANK YOU FOR THOSE QUESTIONS, COUNCILMAN.
09:37:22 YOUR FIRST QUESTION REGARDING RECYCLING.
09:37:25 WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT CENTRALIZING OPTIONS AS BEING
09:37:27 EXPLORED RIGHT NOW.
09:37:32 AND WE CAN GIVE YOU AN UPDATE IN THE FAIRLY NEAR FUTURE
09:37:34 ONCE WE GET MORE INFORMATION AND THOUGHTS TOGETHER ON
09:37:35 THAT.
09:37:39 AS FAR AS THE QUESTION ABOUT THE LED FOR OUR BUILDINGS,
09:37:41 THAT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
09:37:47 AGAIN, LOTS OF -- AS COUNCILMAN MIRANDA MENTIONED, A
09:37:51 LOT OF OUR PROJECTS ARE PLANNED, BUT THERE IS ALSO THE
09:37:54 FUTURE FINANCIAL SITUATION, A LOT OF UNKNOWNS OUT
09:37:54 THERE.
09:37:57 I DON'T HAVE A SCHEDULE FOR THE BUILDING LED
09:38:01 CONVENTION, IT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO
09:38:04 DO AS THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF IN TERMS OF
09:38:05 BUDGET.
09:38:12 AS FAR AS THE STREETLIGHT LED PROGRAM, VIK BHIDE, OUR
09:38:16 MOBILITY DIRECTOR, IS TO GIVE THE LATEST INFORMATION ON
09:38:17 THAT PROGRAM.
09:38:18 >> THANK YOU, JEAN.
09:38:22 COUNCILMAN, WE WORK CLOSELY WITH TECO ON THIS.
09:38:25 WE WORK WITH THEM TO DEFINE THE PROGRAM AS WELL AND ADD
09:38:27 SOME TECHNOLOGY ELEMENTS.
09:38:32 SO WE ARE ABOUT 45% COMPLETE THROUGH THE CITY.
09:38:38 TECO TRACKS AND SHARES THIS INFORMATION ON THEIR WEB
09:38:42 SITE AND THEY ANTICIPATE ANOTHER TWO AND A HALF TO
09:38:47 THREE YEARS TO COMPLETE THE CITYWIDE DEPLOYMENT OF LEDS
09:38:54 IN OUR STREETLIGHT SYSTEM.
09:38:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, I APPRECIATE THE
09:39:01 OPPORTUNITY TO ASK THESE QUESTIONS, MS. DUNCAN AND VIK
09:39:02 BHIDE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS.
09:39:06 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA, ANY QUESTIONS?
09:39:08 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, MR. CHAIR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:39:12 A COUPLE OF THINGS ECHOING WHAT EVERYBODY SAID.
09:39:15 I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK AS PUBLIC SERVANTS.
09:39:18 VIK AND OTHER CITY EMPLOYEES CAME OUT TO TAMPA PALMS
09:39:23 FOR WHAT WAS A SIDEWALK AND STORMWATER ISSUE, SO I
09:39:26 APPRECIATE YOUR CONTINUED WORK IN THE MIDST OF A
09:39:27 PANDEMIC.
09:39:30 I KNOW WHENEVER I TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT OUR FORTHCOMING
09:39:32 BUDGET, I ALWAYS SAY WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE CORE
09:39:38 CRITICAL SERVICES THAT OUR CITY PROVIDES AS WELL THOSE
09:39:50 WORKERS WHO WORK SO HARD FOR THE CORE CRITERIA IN THE
09:39:51 MIDST OF A PANDEMIC.
09:39:54 JEAN, IF YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS ONLINE BECAUSE I
09:39:59 AM SPRINGING ONE ON YOU THAT IS NARROWLY TAILORED.
09:40:02 AND IF WE TALK ABOUT IT ON THE PHONE, THAT IS FINE.
09:40:05 COUNTRY CLUB IN NORTH BOULEVARD, REPAVING ON THOSE
09:40:09 AREAS HAVE BEEN PLANNED FOR SOME TIME, I BELIEVE WELL
09:40:14 BEFORE THE AFT SALES TAX, ETC.
09:40:18 AND I CITY WAS GOING TO WAIT, MY UNDERSTANDING, TO DO
09:40:22 SOME PIPES WORK THERE CONCURRENT REPAVING SO YOU DON'T
09:40:25 HAVE TO GO IN THERE TWICE AS COUNCILMAN CARLSON SAYS
09:40:29 OBVIOUSLY CAUSES SOME DISTURBANCES IN NEIGHBORHOODS
09:40:31 CORRECTLY.
09:40:35 ANY UPDATE ON COUNTRY CLUB AND NORTH BOULEVARD IN
09:40:38 FOREST HILLS AT ALL?
09:40:41 AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT WITH YOU, WE CAN SET UP A
09:40:42 TIME TO TALK.
09:40:45 >> YES, THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN VIERA.
09:40:48 FOREST HILLS IS ONE OF FIRST OF FOUR NEIGHBORHOODS WE
09:40:50 WILL BE ADDRESSING UNDER THE PIPES PROGRAM.
09:40:54 WE CERTAINLY WANT TO DO AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN TO
09:40:57 GO INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD ONE TIME.
09:41:01 THAT MAY NOT BE ALWAYS POSSIBLE, THAT IS CERTAINLY THE
09:41:02 WAY WE ARE PLANNING THINGS.
09:41:05 SO WE WILL BE GOING INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE VERY
09:41:06 NEAR FUTURE.
09:41:09 AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE -- IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET TO
09:41:12 VIK AND MYSELF OFF-LINE, WE WILL GIVE YOU MORE
09:41:15 PARTICULAR DELAYS OF THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION THAT
09:41:16 YOU MENTIONED.
09:41:20 BUT WORK IS COMING TO THAT AREA.
09:41:25 MAYBE BEING A ONE-TIME SCENARIO FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS
09:41:28 IN THAT AREA.
09:41:29 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
09:41:32 WE WILL FOLLOW UP BY E-MAIL AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
09:41:37 INFORMED ANSWER ON NARROWLY TAILORED TOPICS THERE.
09:41:38 THAT IS IT, MR. CHAIR.
09:41:39 NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
09:41:41 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
09:41:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:41:44 COUNCILMAN GUDES.
09:41:45 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
09:41:47 >>ORLANDO GUDES: GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIR.
09:41:49 AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP THIS MORNING.
09:41:52 MRS. DUNCAN, A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION.
09:41:54 GIVING OUTLINES OF VARIOUS ACTIVITIES THAT WILL BE
09:41:56 OCCURRING.
09:41:58 ONE OF TWO QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE, I GET A LOT OF CALLS
09:42:01 OF THE SMALL ROADS ESPECIALLY IN YBOR AND OTHER AREAS
09:42:05 THAT HAVE A BUSINESS DISTRICT, BUT A LOT OF TIMES THE
09:42:08 BIG TRUCKS ARE COMING THROUGH AND BLOCKING THE ROADWAY
09:42:10 FROM REGULAR STREET TRAFFIC.
09:42:13 I NOTICE THAT OTHER CITIES HAVE A ANOTHER MECHANISM AND
09:42:15 MOBILITY THAT THOSE TRUCKS ARE GOING TO ANOTHER
09:42:19 LOCATION AND HAVE A SMALL LIFT THAT MAY TAKE THE
09:42:20 PRODUCTS TO STORES.
09:42:26 HAVE WE EVER LOOKED AT THAT TYPE OF PROGRAM?
09:42:28 >> COUNCILMAN, I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE.
09:42:32 THAT IS A CHALLENGING SITUATION BECAUSE WE DO HAVE
09:42:36 DEDICATED IDENTIFIED TRUCK ROUTES THROUGHOUT THE CITY,
09:42:41 BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT IF A TRUCK HAS A DESTINATION,
09:42:46 THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DRIVE DOWN ANY APPROPRIATE
09:42:49 ROADWAYS TO GET TO THEIR DESTINATIONS.
09:42:52 SO WE HAVE LITTLE MEANS TO CONTROL THE PRIVATE SECTOR
09:42:55 IN TERMS OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE DRIVING AND WHERE THEY
09:42:56 ARE DRIVING.
09:43:00 BUT TO THE EXTENT WE CAN CATCH THOSE BAD ACTORS OUT
09:43:03 THERE THAT ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE TRUCK ROUTES
09:43:07 PROTOCOLS, WE WILL CERTAINLY WORK WITH TPD VERY CLOSELY
09:43:09 TO DO THAT.
09:43:11 NOT SURE IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION BUT WILL BE
09:43:18 HAPPY TO TALK MORE OFF-- OFF LINE ABOUT YOUR INTEREST.
09:43:20 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WOULD LOVE THAT AND USING ANOTHER
09:43:22 MEANS AND I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT.
09:43:26 MY SECOND QUESTION IS, TO MAKE SURE -- WE HAVE A LOT OF
09:43:30 MONEY TO WILL GO OUT TO DIFFERENT PROJECTS IN COMING
09:43:32 YEARS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE COMMITMENT
09:43:36 TO UTILIZE GETTING THE PEOPLE ON THE JOBS AND MAKE SURE
09:43:38 WE HAVE A BALANCE FOR THE CITY AND THE MONEY THAT WE
09:43:39 ARE PUTTING OUT.
09:43:41 AND I EXPRESSED THAT TO BRAD.
09:43:43 SO I -- MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT COMMITMENT
09:43:49 ESPECIALLY WITH OUR PROGRAMS.
09:43:52 >> YEAH, WE ARE COMMITTED TO WHAT WE PRESENTED.
09:43:56 AND WE ARE HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ON SPECIFIC
09:43:58 CONVERSATIONS YOU WANT TO HAVE ABOUT THAT.
09:44:01 WOULD YOU LIKE BRAD TO ADD ANY MORE TO THAT,
09:44:03 COUNCILMAN?
09:44:04 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE CAN TALK OFFLINE.
09:44:10 I THINK BRAD PRETTY MUCH KNOWS MY SINCERITY AND WE NEED
09:44:14 TO MOVE TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT WE ARE SPENDING OUR
09:44:17 MONEY WISELY AND GETTING PEOPLE ON THE JOBSITE.
09:44:19 AND THE BIGGEST THING THAT WE HAVE THE ACCOUNTABILITY
09:44:22 SHOWING THE PUBLIC THAT WE ARE DOING WHAT WE SAID WE
09:44:26 ARE GOING TO DO AND INSPECTING -- AND MAKING SURE WE
09:44:29 HAVE ACTUAL RECORDS FOR PEOPLE ARE DOING WHAT THEY SAID
09:44:33 THEY WERE GOING TO DO WHEN HANDING OUT THESE CONTRACTS.
09:44:37 >> COUNCILMAN, THIS IS BRAD BAIRD, DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR
09:44:41 OF INFRASTRUCTURE.
09:44:47 WE DEFINITELY WILL HAVE A FULL PROGRAM TO FOLLOW UP AND
09:44:53 CHECK ON WEATHER THOSE CONTRACTORS THAT HAVE BEEN
09:44:57 COMMITTED TO USE ON PROJECTS ARE BEING USED IN FACT.
09:45:00 WE WILL HAVE INSPECTORS -- FULL-TIME INSPECTORS ON-SITE
09:45:02 TO ENSURE THAT HAPPENS.
09:45:07 OUR EARLY PROJECTIONS ARE VERY GOOD ON THE
09:45:07 PARTICIPATION.
09:45:12 THE WMBES AND SLBES.
09:45:13 VERY PROMISING.
09:45:20 BUT AS YOU POINT OUT, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE
09:45:22 ENSURE THOSE CONTRACTORS DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WERE
09:45:28 GOING TO DO AND THAT IS ACTUALLY UTILIZE THOSE FIRMS ON
09:45:28 PROJECTS.
09:45:31 YOU HAVE OUR WORD WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS.
09:45:32 THANK YOU.
09:45:33 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
09:45:35 I YIELD BACK TO THE CHAIR.
09:45:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:45:39 FINALLY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER IF YOU HAVE ANY
09:45:41 QUESTIONS.
09:45:43 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HAVE A COUPLE.
09:45:46 JEAN -- THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:45:54 I WILL JUST HIT YOU ONE AT A TIME UNTIL WE GET THERE.
09:45:57 IN REGARDS TO BRIDGES, JEAN, I KNOW -- I READ ABOUT
09:46:02 BRIDGES AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE REALLY HIGH COST TO
09:46:04 REPLACEMENT AND MAINTENANCE.
09:46:07 WHAT IS OUR PLAN FOR THAT, AND DO WE HAVE ANY BRIDGES
09:46:14 THAT ARE -- THAT ARE -- YOU KNOW AT RISK WITH REGARD TO
09:46:15 SEA LEVEL RISE, ETC.
09:46:18 >> YES, THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION COUNCILMAN.
09:46:25 WE DO HAVE OUR WATER BRIDGES ARE REALLY OUR MOST
09:46:29 FRAGILE ASSETS IN TERMS OF AGE AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL
09:46:32 CONDITIONS THEY ARE EXPOSED TO.
09:46:35 WE FORTUNATELY HAVE BEEN ABLE INVEST MILLIONS OF
09:46:44 DOLLARS OF CASS FLOW AND BORENE TO EXTEND THEIR LIFE
09:46:48 AND WE ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON ENSURING THAT WE HAVE
09:46:51 PROPER ENTIRETY FOR THOSE BRIDGES AND ALL THE OTHER
09:46:54 BRIDGES THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
09:46:58 BUT -- WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AS FAR AS THAT GOES.
09:47:01 WE RARELY GET AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY KIND OF FEDERAL
09:47:04 FUNDS BECAUSE OUR BRIDGES DON'T EVER MEET THE LITMUS
09:47:09 TEST FOR REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL FUNDS.
09:47:12 BUT THUS FAR, WE HAVE BEEN DOING WELL TO MAKE THE
09:47:15 PROPER INVESTMENTS TO ENSURE THAT THOSE BRIDGES ARE
09:47:16 SAFE.
09:47:19 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
09:47:22 WITH REGARD TO THE TROLLEY, I KNOW WE HAD A TROLLEY
09:47:27 EXTENSION PROPOSED WORKING WITH HART.
09:47:28 IS THAT STILL MOVING FORWARD?
09:47:34 OR DID THAT DIE WITH THE -- WITH THE ISSUES?
09:47:35 >> THAT IS STILL MOVING FORWARD.
09:47:37 WE ARE STILL WORKING CLOSELY WITH HART AND THE
09:47:41 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE FEDERAL TRANSIT
09:47:43 AUTHORITY ON THAT PROJECT.
09:47:47 OF COURSE FINANCIAL DECISIONS STILL NEED TO BE MADE IN
09:47:50 TERMS OF GOING TO THE NEXT STEP, BUT IT IS STILL
09:47:54 PROGRESSING FORWARD AT THIS POINT.
09:47:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
09:48:02 20 YEARS AGO, MISS SAUL-SENA AND I WERE PUSHING TO HAVE
09:48:05 SOLAR INSTALLED ON SOME OF OUR LARGE BUILDINGS LIKE THE
09:48:09 CONVENTION CENTER.
09:48:11 FOR A VARIETY OF OBVIOUS REASONS.
09:48:15 I DON'T KNOW IF WE EVER DID THAT, PERHAPS BECAUSE OF
09:48:17 THE RECESSION, ETC.
09:48:21 I AM WONDERING IF OUR -- I GUESS MORE OF A REQUEST THAT
09:48:24 YOU ASKED OUR SUSTAINABILITY -- NEW SUSTAINABILITY
09:48:32 OFFICER TO EXPLORE THAT AS FEASIBILITY.
09:48:34 >> YES, WE CERTAINLY ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEW
09:48:40 SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY OFFICER JOINING OUR TEAM.
09:48:42 I BELIEVE HE STARTS NEXT WEEK.
09:48:45 SO HE HAS A LOT OF THINGS TO GET STARTED WITH AS FAR AS
09:48:49 OUR BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE, AS WELL AS OUR
09:48:52 RIGHT-OF-WAY INFRASTRUCTURE AND ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF
09:48:56 OUR CITY FUNCTIONS TO TRY TO GET NEWS A GOOD PLACE OF
09:48:59 PRIORITIZING HOW WE WANT TO MAKE INVESTMENTS OF ALL
09:49:03 THOSE VARIOUS ASSETS AND PROGRAMS.
09:49:05 SO THAT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING I AM SURE HE WOULD BE
09:49:08 EXPLORING.
09:49:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
09:49:16 YEAH, YOU KNOW, INDIVIDUALS GET FEDERAL TAX RELIEF FOR
09:49:18 INSTALLING SOLAR.
09:49:21 OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T NEED TAX RELIEF FROM THE FEDS, BUT
09:49:25 MAYBE THEY HAVE OTHER PROGRAMS.
09:49:27 IN REGARD TO SCOOTERS.
09:49:32 YOU MENTION SCOOTERS ON THE LAST MICRO MOBILITY THING.
09:49:34 I KNOW THERE IS A REPORT PENDING.
09:49:40 WHEN WILL WE EXPECT A CUTTER REPORT ON SCOOTERS?
09:49:44 >> COUNCILMAN, I WILL LET VIK BHIDE GIVE YOU THE
09:49:45 DETAILS.
09:49:48 >> COUNCILMAN, WE JUST RECEIVED THE FINAL DRAFT.
09:49:50 AS SOON AS WE HAVE THE FINAL, FINAL DOCUMENT WE WILL
09:49:54 SHARE IT WITH THE CHAIR AND YOU AND OTHER
09:49:55 COUNCILMEMBERS AS WELL.
09:49:58 BUT IT WAS A PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE REPORT, AND WE HAVE
09:50:02 DONE THREE TYPES OF SURVEYS, IN-PERSON SURVEY THAT'S
09:50:07 USF AND OUR PARTNER AT CUTTER HELPED US WITH.
09:50:09 A DIGITAL SURVEY AS WELL.
09:50:12 AND A SURVEY OF THE PROVIDERS THEMSELVES.
09:50:15 SO WE WILL BE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT AS SOON AS IT IS
09:50:17 AVAILABLE.
09:50:21 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DID THE CUTTER -- THE EVALUATION
09:50:24 ALSO SPEAK TO SAFETY AND INJURIES AND THAT SORT OF
09:50:28 THING?
09:50:30 >> YES, IT DID.
09:50:32 IT EVALUATED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MICROMOBILITY
09:50:37 PROGRAM FOR SEVERAL FACTORS, INCLUDING PERCEPTION,
09:50:39 INCLUDING ACTUAL SAFETY.
09:50:44 WE HAVE RECEIVED PRELIMINARY INFORMATION FROM THE
09:50:51 HOSPITALS, AND I SAY "PRELIMINARY" PLACE IT IS HARD FOR
09:50:56 HOSPITALS TO ESTABLISH INJURIES BETWEEN MICRO MOBILITY
09:50:59 RELATED AND GENERAL SCOOTER RELATED.
09:51:04 THEY LOOK UP THE WORD "SCOOTER" SO DATA IS ONLY AS GOOD
09:51:07 AS IT IS GOING TO GET AND WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM
09:51:07 AS WELL.
09:51:11 AND THE OUTPUTS FROM THE CUTTER REPORT AND THE INSIGHTS
09:51:18 FROM IT HAVE GUIDED OUR UPCOMING ACTIONS WITH A NEW
09:51:25 MICRO MOBILITY PROGRAM THAT WILL INCORPORATE A LOT OF
09:51:26 THESE INSIGHTS.
09:51:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
09:51:36 JEAN, IN REGARD TO SOLID WASTE, I KNOW DAVID MCCAREY,
09:51:40 WHEN HE USED TO BE WITH US, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION
09:51:44 ABOUT THE SAVINGS ASSOCIATED WITH POSSIBLY GOING TO
09:51:45 ONCE A WEEK.
09:51:49 ONCE A WEEK PICKUP, AND I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF
09:51:51 SAVINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON,
09:51:55 THE MAYOR AT THAT TIME DIDN'T WANT -- DIDN'T WANT TO
09:51:56 PURSUE THAT.
09:51:59 IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO EXPLORE IN
09:52:03 ANY WAY?
09:52:06 >> AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO GO ONCE A WEEK,
09:52:10 BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR -- FOR ROUTE OPTIMIZATION
09:52:16 ADJUSTMENTS WE CAN MAKE SO WE CAN MAXIMIZE THE COVERAGE
09:52:18 THAT WE HAVE.
09:52:23 BUT AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT EXPLORE A ONCE-A-WEEK
09:52:25 OPTION.
09:52:27 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULDN'T
09:52:30 CONTINUE TO EXPLORE IT AND LOOK INTO WHAT OTHER CITIES
09:52:34 ARE DOING NOW THAT EVERYBODY HAS THOSE BIG GIANT CAN
09:52:37 AND CLOSE UP TIGHTLY AND ALL THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHY
09:52:39 ONCE A WEEK WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING WE WOULD LOOK TO
09:52:40 EXPLORE.
09:52:42 AND SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.
09:52:46 MY LAST QUESTION IS IN REGARD -- AT THE WATER PLANT IN
09:52:50 REGARD TO THE NEW ION EXCHANGE, AND I THINK CHUCK
09:52:53 PROBABLY TOLD ME THIS, AND YOU CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT WHAT
09:52:54 DOES THAT REPLACE?
09:52:58 I ASSUME THAT REPLACES ANOTHER PROCESS, ANOTHER
09:53:00 CLEANSING PROCESS.
09:53:03 OR IS THAT TOTALLY NEW?
09:53:07 >> I WILL LET BRAD BAIRD RESPOND TO THAT QUESTION,
09:53:08 COUNCILMAN.
09:53:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
09:53:13 >> BRAD BAIRD AGAIN.
09:53:16 YES, COUNCILMAN.
09:53:24 REPLACE THE COAGULATION PROCESS WHERE WE USE BERATE
09:53:25 SULFATE AT THIS POINT.
09:53:28 IT IS A SAVINGS IN THE CHEMICALS THAT I AM HOUR MR.
09:53:34 WEBER HAD TALKED ABOUT IN SOME DETAIL, BUT SAVINGS IN
09:53:37 THE AMOUNT OF SLUDGE THAT WE REDUCED AND SAVINGS IN
09:53:42 CHEMICAL COST AS WELL BY REPLACING THE SULFATE
09:53:45 COAGULATION SYSTEM WITH THE ION CHANGE.
09:53:50 >> THE FERRATE SULFATE IS ALWAYS A BIG TICKET ITEM ON
09:53:50 OUR AGENDAS.
09:53:52 ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.
09:53:53 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:53:54 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:53:56 I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION.
09:53:59 I AM GLAD TO SEE THE SIGNIFICANT AND HISTORIC VERSION.
09:54:01 WE DISCUSSED PIPES.
09:54:04 WE TALKED ABOUT THE STORMWATER PROJECTS.
09:54:05 A LOT IS HAPPENING.
09:54:08 WE SEE THE STREET CLOSURES BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION
09:54:11 IN MAKING THE INVESTMENT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.
09:54:13 SO WE ARE MOVING FORWARD IN DOING THE THINGS THAT ARE
09:54:17 NOT JUST -- NOT WANTS.
09:54:18 THEY ARE NEEDS.
09:54:20 THEY ARE NECESSARY INVESTMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY AND I
09:54:22 APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S HARD WORK IN THAT.
09:54:26 I GUESS THAT CONCLUDES THAT PART OF THE WORKSHOP.
09:54:29 NEXT UP WE HAVE ANOTHER POWERPOINT.
09:54:31 DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ADMINISTRATION HAS
09:54:33 A POWERPOINT UP.
09:54:39 I BELIEVE WE HAVE CAROL POST ON THE LINE TO TAKE US
09:54:42 THROUGH THAT IF WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO AHEAD.
09:54:44 >> GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN MANISCALCO.
09:54:45 CAROLE POST HERE.
09:54:48 GOOD MORNING MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL AND PUBLIC.
09:54:52 I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY AS YOU HEARD FROM MY
09:54:55 COLLEAGUE, MS. DUNCAN.
09:54:57 WE -- I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SHARE A WINDOW INTO THE
09:55:02 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO, AND SIMILARLY, A RANGE
09:55:05 IN THE SERVICES AND FUNCTIONS THAT ARE DELIVERED AND
09:55:14 THE INITIATIVES THAT ARE ON OUR NEAR HORIZON BY WAY OF
09:55:17 INTRODUCTION, I JOINED THE CITY JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO
09:55:20 OFFICIALLY ON FEBRUARY 24 AFTER LEAVING THE MAYOR'S
09:55:25 TRANSITION AND FACILITATING THE MAYOR'S ADVISORY WORK
09:55:28 TEAMS TWO OF WHICH I WILL SPEAK BRIEFLY ABOUT TODAY.
09:55:32 IT HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE TO JOIN AN OUTSTANDING TEAM.
09:55:35 WE HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF TALENTED STAFF I HAD A
09:55:39 PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH, YOU AND THEY COVER A WIDE RANGE
09:55:42 OF RESPONSIBILITIES AND SERVICES THAT I WILL HIGHLIGHT
09:55:44 THIS MORNING.
09:55:48 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:55:52 SO THE OUTLINE OF OUR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE FOR
09:55:57 DEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IS IN FRONT OF
09:55:57 YOU.
09:56:02 THE TWO KEY DIRECTORS FOR THE ORGANIZATION ARE UNA
09:56:05 GARVEY WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF OUR CONVENTION CENTER.
09:56:08 SHE JOINS ON THE CALL THIS MORNING SHOULD ANY QUESTIONS
09:56:09 ARISE.
09:56:15 AS WELL THOM SNELLING, THE DIRECTOR OF OUR PLANNING AND
09:56:17 DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT THAT IS ALSO ON THE CALL WITH
09:56:17 US.
09:56:20 WHAT I WILL COVER IS HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CONVENTION
09:56:26 CENTER, THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE UNDER WAY THERE, AND
09:56:29 THEN THE KEY ASPECTS OF THE MAYOR COMPONENTS OF
09:56:32 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, WHICH AS YOU SEE HERE, WE
09:56:35 HAVE SEGMENTED ESSENTIALLY FOR ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES
09:56:40 INTO CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, WHICH IS LED BY OUR NEW
09:56:43 CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL JOHN HUTCHINSON.
09:56:46 AND WE THEN HAVE WHAT I CALL PLANNING SERVICES, WHICH
09:56:50 IS A RANGE OF DIVISIONS PERFORMING A SERIES OF
09:56:51 DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS.
09:56:54 I WILL COVER THROUGH EACH OF THOSE AND THE LEADERSHIP
09:56:57 OF EACH OF THOSE, AND OUR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
09:57:01 DEVELOPMENT GROUP LED BY VANESSA MCCLARY.
09:57:05 SO, LET ME TURN QUICKLY THEN -- NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:57:08 TO OUR DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY BUDGET.
09:57:12 JUST A QUICK WINDOW INTO THE SCALE AND SCOPE OF THE
09:57:13 BUDGET.
09:57:19 WE HAVE A TOTAL OF JUST OVER $49 MILLION IN BUDGET
09:57:21 ACROSS THE ENTIRE PORTFOLIO.
09:57:23 YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN THERE.
09:57:30 THE BULK OF THE PORTFOLIO OF THE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
09:57:35 TEAM IN BLUE, 39% OF THE $49 MILLION.
09:57:38 AND SOMEWHAT EQUAL ALLOCATIONS ACROSS THE CONVENTION
09:57:41 CENTER, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING
09:57:41 SERVICES.
09:57:45 WE ALSO NOTED THE RANGE OF REVENUE SOURCES THAT -- THAT
09:57:48 THE BUDGET IS DERIVED FROM RANGING FROM THE GENERAL
09:57:52 FUND, FEES FOR SERVICES, BOTH CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AND
09:57:58 AT OUR CONVENTION CENTER, AND THEN WE HAVE MANAGEMENT
09:58:01 AND OVERSIGHT OF JUST MORE THAN $11 MILLION OF FEDERAL
09:58:03 AND STATE HOUSING GRANTS.
09:58:07 YOU CAN ALSO SEE A COUPLE OF SOURCES FOR OUR CAPITAL
09:58:09 BUDGET.
09:58:13 SO I WILL MOVE ON TO A LOOK AT OUR HUMAN RESOURCES.
09:58:18 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:58:22 THE DELIVERY OF OUR SERVICES COMES THROUGH THE GREAT
09:58:26 TALENT OF JUST OVER 200 STAFF MEMBERS.
09:58:28 YOU SEE THE BREAKDOWN THERE.
09:58:31 AGAIN THE LARGEST NUMBER COMMITTED TO OUR CONSTRUCTION
09:58:33 SERVICES TEAM JUST UNDER 80 PEOPLE.
09:58:36 THEN A BREAKDOWN ACROSS THE PLANNING SERVICES GROUP,
09:58:38 HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, AND THE CONVENTION
09:58:39 CENTER.
09:58:43 AND I WILL COVER SOME OF THE DETAILS OF EACH OF THOSE.
09:58:47 SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE AROUND THE TAMPA CONVENTION
09:58:50 CENTER.
09:58:51 WE WILL JUMP RIGHT IN.
09:58:56 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
09:59:01 CONVENTION CENTER SERVICES ARE LED BY UNA GARVEY.
09:59:04 SHE HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB OF LEADING THE CONVENTION
09:59:06 CENTER THROUGH A TIME OF CHANGE AND ON THE HORIZON
09:59:09 AHEAD AS WE ARE ALL ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE IN THE NEXT
09:59:10 COUPLE OF WEEKS.
09:59:14 WE WILL SEE HOW THE CONVENTION CENTER IS FACILITATING A
09:59:18 NEW NORMAL FOR HOW CROWDS WILL GATHER AND HOW A FORM OF
09:59:23 THIS NATURE CAN BE ADOPTED TO -- TO NEW NEEDS.
09:59:27 WE -- YOU SEE HERE JUST A BRIEF LAYOUT OF THE VARIOUS
09:59:30 FUNCTIONS THAT ARE PERFORMED AT THE CONVENTION CENTER
09:59:33 ACROSS THE FACILITY AND EVENT OPERATIONS.
09:59:37 THE SERVICES FOR BOTH EVENTS AND GUESTS AND -- AND
09:59:40 GUEST SERVICES AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE ADMINISTRATION
09:59:41 SALES AND MARKETING.
09:59:43 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:59:46 A KEY AREA THAT I WILL FOCUS ON THIS MORNING IS
09:59:50 RECOGNIZING THE DATA AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES THAT WE
09:59:54 FOCUS ON FOR EACH OF OUR PARTICULAR AREAS.
09:59:56 THIS IS JUST A HIGHLIGHT.
09:59:59 WE WON'T GO INTO THE DETAILS OF ANY OF THEM, BUT JUST
10:00:02 TO HIGHLIGHT WHERE WE SEE THE RELEVANT AND MOST GERMANE
10:00:04 MEASURES FOR A PARTICULAR AREA.
10:00:08 AS YOU CAN SEE FOR THE CONVENTION CENTER AROUND ANNUAL
10:00:13 SALES, CONVERSION RATES, THE NET PROFIT.
10:00:15 THERE IS A PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMPONENT AND THAT
10:00:18 CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, WHICH WILL BE A RECURRING THEME
10:00:21 ACROSS THE ENTIRE PORTFOLIO.
10:00:25 ONE ITEM TO NOTE HERE IS THAT AS WAS REPORTED BY OUR
10:00:30 CFO AT OUR LAST BUDGET BRIEFING, THE CONVENTION CENTER
10:00:34 HAD BEEN ON TRACK TO ACTUALLY RECOGNIZE ALMOST A 15%
10:00:43 INCREASE IN SALES FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR WITH 50% OF
10:00:45 THOSE BEING REPEAT BUSINESS WHICH WE HAVE AS A TARGET
10:00:49 TO ENSURE WHEN WE HAVE GREAT CLIENTS, WE DO AN
10:00:53 EFFECTIVE JOB TO MAKE SURE THEY RETURN TO US.
10:00:56 UNFORTUNATELY AND OBVIOUSLY WITH THE COVID, ALL
10:01:01 ACTIVITIES AND THE OPERATIONS CEASED ABRUPTLY AT THE
10:01:06 CONVENTION CENTER AND AS WAS RELATED WE WILL MISS THE
10:01:07 BUDGET TARGET.
10:01:10 BUT A CREDIT TO THE TEAM WHO WAS ON A VERY AGGRESSIVE
10:01:13 AND EFFECTIVE TRACK BEFORE THIS.
10:01:15 I WILL SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE ARE HANDLING THE
10:01:16 COVID.
10:01:19 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:01:21 AS WELL AS INITIATIVES AND INNOVATIONS THAT WERE
10:01:28 ALREADY UNDER WAY WITH RESPECT TO THE ABRUPT
10:01:35 CANCELLATION OF OPERATION UNA AND HER TEAM IMMEDIATELY
10:01:39 WENT INTO ACTION TO RESCHEDULED AND I WOULD SAY 99% OF
10:01:42 ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS THAT WERE ON THE BOOKS TO
10:01:46 RESCHEDULE TO RECAPTURE THAT LOST REVENUE AND TO
10:01:50 MAINTAIN BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS.
10:01:54 I THINK ON BOTH SIDES THIS DEMANDED A GREAT DEAL OF
10:02:00 FLEXIBILITY ON ONE CERTAINLY AND UNA AND HER TEAM WAS
10:02:04 VERY ARTFUL HOW THEY HANDLED LARGE EVENTS WITH
10:02:09 UNCERTAIN FUTURES AND GIVING THEM THE LATITUDE TO PLAN
10:02:11 AHEAD WITHOUT HAVING THEM COMMIT DURING THAT TIME OF
10:02:17 UNCERTAINTY AND THEY HAVE DONE A EFFECTIVE JOB OF
10:02:21 MANAGING THE RELATIONSHIPS DURING THE
10:02:22 PHYSICAL ASPECTS.
10:02:27 WE ALREADY HAD AS AN OPERATION LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE AN
10:02:30 OUTSET OF CAPITAL UPGRADES, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.
10:02:36 WE KIND OF SPRUNG THAT INTO HIGH GEAR GIVEN YOU HAVE TO
10:02:40 OFTEN DO THAT AFTER HOURS AND WHEN YOU ARE UNDER --
10:02:42 SORT OF BETWEEN ACTIVITIES AND EVENT.
10:02:45 THE FACT THAT WE WERE SHUT DOWN I THINK YOU WILL HEAR
10:02:50 -- YOU WILL HEAR MANY OF US TALK ABOUT TAKING SOME
10:02:52 ADVANTAGE OF THE ISSUES WE HAVE BEEN FACED WITH BY
10:02:55 MAKING SOME HAY OUT OF IT.
10:03:02 AND AGAIN UNA AND HER TEAM HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB OF
10:03:05 GOING INTO HIGH GEAR ON MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS ALREADY
10:03:12 ON TAP AND DOING IT IN AN EXPEDITED MANNER AROUND
10:03:15 FACILITY UPGRADES AND HAD FOOD SERVICE AND IMPROVEMENTS
10:03:16 IN PLACE.
10:03:19 WE HAVE GOT TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES THAT WILL BE UNDER WAY.
10:03:24 AND MUCH OF THIS IS AROUND CREATING BOTH A MORE MODERN
10:03:28 AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING FACILITY AND ALSO A
10:03:29 RESILIENT FACILITY.
10:03:32 MANY LESSONS ARE BEING LEARNED BY MANY OF US NOW
10:03:35 RELATED TO COVID-19, AND WHEN WE RETURN TO THE
10:03:39 CONVENTION CENTER AND I THINK THE COUNCIL MAY BE OUR
10:03:40 FIRST VISITORS THERE.
10:03:43 OUR FIRST OFFICIAL VISITORS TO THE CONVENTION CENTER,
10:03:47 YOU WILL RECOGNIZE CLEARLY SOME OF THE RESILIENCY
10:03:53 ADAPTATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED.
10:03:57 BEFORE WE MOVE ON FROM THIS, THE NOTION THAT WE HAVE
10:04:00 SPENT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME THINKING OF THE
10:04:02 CONVENTION CENTER OF TOMORROW.
10:04:07 AND WHAT WE WANT AND NEED THIS CONVENTION CENTER TO BE,
10:04:09 TO SERVE OUR FUTURE NEEDS.
10:04:14 WE HAVE CURRENTLY PROPOSED IN THE FISCAL '21 BUDGET A
10:04:19 $5 MILLION CAPITAL PLAN THAT WILL CONTINUE A GOOD STATE
10:04:23 OF REPAIR FOR INITIATIVES, VARIOUS COSMETIC UPGRADES
10:04:26 AND THINGS YOU ALWAYS NEED TO BE ON TOP OF.
10:04:29 WE ALSO STARTED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THE LANDSCAPE OF
10:04:33 OUR CITY LOOKS LIKE, PNEUMONIA NEWS NEW HOTELS --
10:04:37 NUMEROUS HOTELS COMING ON LINE, A FIVE-STAR HOTEL
10:04:40 COMING ONLINE AND HOW THINGS WILL ADAPT -- NEED OUR
10:04:46 CONVENTION CENTER TO ADAPT TO WHAT WE HOPE WILL BE A
10:04:49 GROWING POPULATION OF VISITORS AND ACTIVITIES TO THE
10:04:51 CITY.
10:04:56 SO ONE LAST THING ON THE CONVENTION CENTER -- NEXT
10:04:57 SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:05:00 JUST TO REFLECT SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT UNA AND
10:05:02 HER TEAM HAD UNDER WAY.
10:05:05 YOU CAN SEE SOME IMAGES HERE OF THE WORK BEING DONE
10:05:06 AROUND THE FACILITY.
10:05:10 SOME OF THE RESILIENCY WORK AND THE MAINTENANCE AND
10:05:11 REPAIRS.
10:05:16 WE HAVE BRANDED OUR COVID RESPONSE AS TCC READY.
10:05:20 YOU CAN SEE THE FLYER THERE, AND YOU WILL SEE MORE
10:05:22 ABOUT IT WHEN WE HAVE OUR COUNCIL MEETING AT THE
10:05:23 CONVENTION CENTER.
10:05:27 THE TTC READY CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT ADOPTING A NUMBER OF
10:05:31 THE CDC BEST PRACTICES FOR SAFETY AND SEPARATION, BUT
10:05:35 IT ALSO IS A GUIDANCE AND INFORMATION DOCUMENT AND A
10:05:38 LOT OF RELATED MATERIALS THAT WILL REINFORCE CONFIDENCE
10:05:42 AND ASSURE VISITORS OF THE PRECAUTIONS PETITION PUT IN
10:05:45 PLACE FOR THEIR SAFETY.
10:05:50 HOW TO SAFELY NAVIGATE AS THEY ARE HERE AND ATTENDING
10:05:54 AND BEING A PART OF THE CONVENTION CENTER.
10:05:57 SO WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AND APPRECIATE,
10:05:59 AGAIN, SO MUCH EFFORT TO BE PUT INTO PLACE TO RETHINK
10:06:02 THE CONVENTION CENTER POST COVID.
10:06:04 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:06:09 SO I WILL TURN NOW TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
10:06:10 DEPARTMENT.
10:06:13 WE HAVE GOT A WIDE RANGE OF DIVISIONS UNDER THE
10:06:16 DEPARTMENT, AND I WILL GO THROUGH A BRIEF PREVIEW OF
10:06:19 EACH OF THOSE WITH SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.
10:06:23 AS I SAID, THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT IS
10:06:25 LED BY THOM SNELLING.
10:06:27 YOU CAN SEE THE BREAK DOWN OF THE SIX DEPARTMENTS
10:06:30 BETWEEN CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, THE PLANNING AND ZONING
10:06:32 DIVISION, THE DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, THE
10:06:36 ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION, REAL ESTATE
10:06:40 AND OUR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
10:06:42 I WILL GO THROUGH THE HIGHLIGHTS -- THE HIGHLIGHTS OF
10:06:45 THOSE, BUT BEFORE DOING THAT I JUST WANT TO TOUCH UPON
10:06:47 ONE THING THAT IS GERMANE TO ALL OF THEM.
10:06:51 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
10:06:57 WE ARE ALL SPENDING AND INVESTING A GOOD AMOUNT OF
10:06:57 TIME.
10:07:03 I THINK WE WENT BACKWARD ON THE SLIDES.
10:07:11 THERE YOU GO.
10:07:12 PERFECT.
10:07:14 THANK YOU.
10:07:27 SO THIS IS JUST A VIEW INTO ACROSS THE PLANNING AND
10:07:30 DEVELOPMENT AREA SERVICE-ORIENTED AND DIRECT IMPACT
10:07:32 WITH THE CLIENTS AND RESIDENTS OF THE CITY AND BEING
10:07:37 ABLE TO AFFIRMATIVELY REFLECT OUR PERFORMANCE MEASURES
10:07:39 IS A KEY OBJECTIVE FOR US.
10:07:44 WHAT I AM SHOWING HERE IS A REFLECTION OF WHERE --
10:07:47 THESE ARE TEN MEASURE THAT'S EXIST ONLINE TODAY THAT
10:07:52 HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR SOME TIME.
10:07:54 WHAT I WANT TO DO IS LOOK TO THE FUTURE AROUND
10:07:56 PERFORMANCE MEASURES.
10:07:58 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:08:00 WHERE WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OUR PERFORMANCE
10:08:03 MEASUREMENTS IS SOMETHING THAT IS BOTH EASIER TO ACCESS
10:08:09 AND HAS A GREATER DEAL OF CONTEXT FOR OUR.
10:08:11 FOR OUR CLIENTS AND OUR CUSTOMERS.
10:08:15 SO THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT OF, AGAIN -- THIS IS ALL
10:08:18 AVAILABLE ONLINE TODAY AND THIS HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE
10:08:19 FOR SOME TIME.
10:08:23 AND WE ARE WORKING TO MAKE THESE DATA MEASURES MORE
10:08:27 RELEVANT, MORE GERMANE, AND EASIER TO ACCESS AND TO
10:08:29 UNDERSTAND.
10:08:34 PROVIDING CONTEXT FOR HOW THESE MEASURES RELATE TO THE
10:08:36 LARGER GOALS IS THE NEXT STEP AS WELL.
10:08:39 YOU WILL SEE AS WE RUN THROUGH EACH OF THESE DIVISIONS,
10:08:42 THE DESIRE TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE APPROPRIATE
10:08:45 ACCOUNTABILITY THAT CAN BE TRANSLATED AT THE PUBLIC
10:08:46 LEVEL.
10:08:50 SO LET'S MOVE ON THEN TO EACH DIVISION.
10:08:54 NEXT SLIDE THROUGH THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
10:08:55 DIVISION.
10:08:55 NEXT SLIDE.
10:08:58 AND STARTING WITH OUR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES TEAM.
10:09:02 WE RECENTLY APPOINTED A NEW CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL
10:09:04 JOHN HUTCHINSON.
10:09:06 WE ARE PLEASED TO HAVE HIM JOIN OUR TEAM FROM GEORGIA
10:09:09 WHERE HE SERVED IN THAT CAPACITY PRIOR.
10:09:12 WE ALSO PROMOTED DAVID JENNINGS TO A ROLE OF
10:09:15 CONSTRUCTION SERVICES LEAD FOR OPERATIONS.
10:09:19 AND THE RESOURCE -- THE NEED FOR RESOURCE AND TALENT
10:09:24 HERE TO CONTINUE TO MEET THE DEMAND OF OUR GROWING --
10:09:27 GROWING DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY I BELIEVE WE ARE REALLY
10:09:31 STARTING TO SEE SOME RESULTS HERE ACROSS THE TALENT
10:09:32 THAT WE HAVE.
10:09:34 THE SERVICES THAT ARE DELIVERED AT CONSTRUCTION
10:09:38 SERVICES ARE SORT OF THE TYPICAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT
10:09:38 PIPELINE.
10:09:41 IF YOU WERE SEEKING TO BUILD AND RENOVATE, YOU WILL RUN
10:09:44 THROUGH STARTING WITH OUR CUSTOMER SUPPORT THROUGH
10:09:51 TECHNICAL SUPPORT, APPLICATION INTAKE, PLAN REVIEW
10:09:55 PERMITTING, INSPECTION, SIGNOFF AND CERTIFICATE OF
10:09:56 OCCUPANCY.
10:10:00 THE IMAGES REFLECTED HERE ARE FROM OUR WEB SITE WHERE
10:10:03 THEY REFLECT THE SCALE AND SCOPE OF THE TYPE OF PERMITS
10:10:05 AVAILABLE.
10:10:08 THERE ARE ABOUT 30 IN EACH CATEGORY FOR RESIDENTIAL OR
10:10:11 COMMERCIAL DEPENDING ON WHAT A PERSON IS UNDERTAKING.
10:10:18 SO THERE IS A LOT OF DEBRIS OF TECHNICAL AND SCALE IN
10:10:21 TERMS OF THE WORK THAT IS DONE TO KEEP UP WITH THE PACE
10:10:24 OF CONSTRUCTION ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY.
10:10:27 WE CERTAINLY SEE ALL THE HIGH-RISES AND THE LARGE
10:10:30 DEVELOPMENT, BUT THERE IS EVERY DAY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
10:10:33 JUST MAKING MINOR RENOVATIONS TO HOMES AND PROPERTIES
10:10:36 AND ALL OF THAT FORECAST THROUGH OUR DEPARTMENT.
10:10:40 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
10:10:47 IN THE CONTEXT OF PERFORMANCE DATA AND OUTCOMES, I
10:10:49 THOUGHT WE HAVE BEEN REALLY TRACKING THIS CLOSELY GIVEN
10:10:53 THE COVID-19 CRISIS.
10:10:57 AS YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTION HAS -- WAS DEEMED AN
10:11:00 ESSENTIAL SERVICE, SO FORTUNATE FOR US ALL THESE
10:11:02 ACTIVITIES HAVE CONTINUED.
10:11:05 OUR ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM WAS VERY QUICKLY
10:11:07 SPUN INTO OPERATING REMOTELY.
10:11:11 SO THIS GROUP HAS CONTINUED LITERALLY WITHOUT MISSING A
10:11:14 BEAT PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT, PLAN REVIEW,
10:11:17 PERMITTING AND EVEN VIRTUAL INSPECTIONS TO KEEP THE
10:11:19 ENGINE RUNNING EFFECTIVELY.
10:11:23 I AM REALLY PROUD OF THE RESOURCEFULNESS AND
10:11:25 ADAPTABILITY OF THE TEAM AND YOU CAN SEE IT REFLECTED
10:11:29 HERE AND JUST A FEW OF THESE KEY INDICATORS AROUND
10:11:33 RELATIVE TO YEAR PRIOR TO SEE WE ARE NOT LOSING TOO
10:11:37 MUCH GROUND AND THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AT PRETTY MUCH
10:11:38 FULL CLIP.
10:11:44 THIS HAS REALLY BEEN A CREDIT TO THE TEAM.
10:11:48 WE -- THE FISCAL YEAR 20 DATA THAT IS PROJECTED HERE.
10:11:52 THIS IS PROJECTED TO THE FULL YEAR TO MEET OR MATCH
10:11:54 ESSENTIAL FISCAL 2019.
10:11:57 OUR DATA DOES LAG BY A COUPLE OF WEEKS, SO ANYTHING CAN
10:12:00 HAPPEN HERE, BUT WE ARE CERTAINLY -- WE HAVE NOT SEEN
10:12:06 ANY SIGNIFICANT DIPS IN FILINGS, APPLICATIONS OR
10:12:08 ACTIVITIES AROUND OUR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES TEAM.
10:12:10 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
10:12:13 I DID WANT TO TOUCH UPON SOME OF THE INNOVATIONS THAT
10:12:15 ARE GOING ON RELATIVE TO THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
10:12:18 ADVISORY REPORT.
10:12:22 IT WAS REALLY KEENLY FOCUSED ON THE DEVELOPMENT
10:12:26 SERVICES AND THE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES TEAM.
10:12:30 THESE WERE REALLY AROUND RAPID ADAPTATION, VIRTUAL
10:12:33 OPERATIONS, IMPROVING SELF-SERVICE FUNCTION.
10:12:36 MUCH OF THIS HAS COME OUT OF OUR ADVISORY REPORT WHICH
10:12:38 WAS ISSUED IN LATE NOVEMBER.
10:12:40 WE WILL JUST WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.
10:12:42 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
10:12:47 THE ADVISORY REPORT RAN THE -- A RAGE OF
10:12:51 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT STARTED WITH SORT OF THE LOW COST,
10:12:57 NO COST, TACTICAL INITIATIVES TO THE MORE COMPLICATED
10:13:02 AND COMPLEX MATTERS AROUND POLICY INITIATIVE THAT WE
10:13:02 WILL TOUCH ON.
10:13:04 TO START WITH THE TACTICAL INITIATIVE.
10:13:08 MANY OF THESE HAVE TO DO WITH CUSTOMER CARE,
10:13:09 INFORMATION AND ACCESS.
10:13:14 LET ME JUST SHARE SEVERAL OF THOSE THAT ARE ALREADY IN
10:13:16 EFFECT AND HOPE BRINGING SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE
10:13:18 CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.
10:13:19 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:13:21 I WILL GO THROUGH THESE VERY QUICKLY.
10:13:26 THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME -- SAME CONCEPT, WHICH IS EASE
10:13:28 OF ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
10:13:31 THIS STARTS WITH OUR MONTHLY HOMEOWNERS NIGHT.
10:13:38 WE STARTED THIS IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR.
10:13:41 MEANT TO BRING THE BUILDING DEPARTMENTS DOWN TO A
10:13:42 NONPROFESSIONAL LEVEL.
10:13:45 THAT IS SOMEONE WHO IS DOING A SMALL JOB THAT NEVER
10:13:48 BUILT WITH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT BEFORE CAN FIND AN
10:13:56 EASY WAY TO ACCESS SYSTEMS AND IN FACT IF HE CAN 1998
10:13:59 WHATEVER THEIR REQUESTS ARE IN A VERY TIMELY AND EASY
10:14:00 WAY.
10:14:08 WE DID TAILOR THIS TO THE NONPROFESSIONAL AND WE INVITE
10:14:10 INDIVIDUALS TO COME AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BUILDING
10:14:13 DEPARTMENT, MORE ON THEIR TERMS AND ON THEIR TIME
10:14:14 SCHEDULE.
10:14:18 AND THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT GROUP EFFORT FROM OUR STAFF.
10:14:21 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
10:14:25 A SIMILAR ITEM ON TAP WHICH IS ACTUALLY GOING -- WILL
10:14:29 BE EFFECTIVE STARTING TODAY IS OUR FAST PASS PROGRAM.
10:14:31 THIS HAS BEEN IN PLANNING FOR SOME TIME.
10:14:36 THIS WILL SERVE A WIDE RANGE OF CONTRACTORS, TRADES,
10:14:37 PROJECT TYPES AND SIZES.
10:14:42 IT IS MOSTLY GEARED FOR THE SMALLER-SIZED PROJECTS AND
10:14:46 ENABLE AN APPLICANT TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND COMPLETE
10:14:51 THE ENTIRE REVIEW PERMIT PROCESS END TO END IN ONE DAY
10:14:55 AND YOU SEE AN OUTLINE OF SOME OF THE KEY ITEMS MANY OF
10:14:58 WHICH WERE SPECIFICALLY RECOMMENDED BY THE ADVISORY
10:15:03 TEAM FOR MAKING IT EASIER TO FACILITATE THE PROCESS,
10:15:08 CUTTING THE RED TAPE, AND CREATING A MORE PERSONAL
10:15:14 SCALE EXPERIENCE THROUGH A SERIES OF ENGAGEMENTS,
10:15:17 WHETHER IT BE THROUGH AN APPOINTMENT OR THROUGH OUR
10:15:20 ONLINE SYSTEMS OF BEING ABLE TO DO THAT IN A VERY FAST
10:15:22 TURN-AROUND TIME.
10:15:24 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:15:27 AT THE END OF THE DAY, MANY OF THESE THINGS ARE ABOUT
10:15:29 ACCESS TO INFORMATION.
10:15:32 PEOPLE JUST -- IF WE LAY OUT THE DETAILS AND THE
10:15:35 INFORMATION AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO FOLLOW THE
10:15:37 PROCESS, THAT IS REALLY HALF THE BATTLE.
10:15:42 SO WHAT THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF IS AS WE TACKLE MORE AND
10:15:48 MORE OF THE PERMIT TYPES OR PLAN REVIEW TYPES, WE -- WE
10:15:51 INVEST A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE WEB INFORMATION.
10:15:55 AND WE ARE LOOKING TO UPDATE AND SIMPLIFY THE WEB
10:15:58 PRESENCE AND HAVE IT BE MORE CUSTOMER AND FUNCTION
10:15:59 BASED.
10:16:04 A TOPIC THAT WE ALL KNOW RELATIVELY WELL ABOUT TREE
10:16:05 INFORMATION.
10:16:09 AND WE HAD NO SHORTAGE OF INFORMATION ON THE WEB SITE
10:16:18 ABOUT TREES WHETHER WEATHER YOU ARE LOOKING TO REMOVE
10:16:22 THEM AND OPERATE AROUND THEM WITH THE TYPE OF
10:16:22 CONSTRUCTION.
10:16:25 IT WAS THERE AND DIFFICULT TO GET TO WHAT YOU NEEDED.
10:16:29 WE JUST ADDED SOME EASY BULLETS THAT KIND OF CALL IT
10:16:30 LIKE YOU SEE IT.
10:16:32 HOW TO OBTAIN A PERMIT.
10:16:32 IT IS RIGHT THERE.
10:16:36 SO SOMETIMES JUST REORGANIZING THE CONTENTS THAT WE
10:16:41 HAVE AND PUTTING IT IN SIMPLER FORMATS CAN MAKE A
10:16:44 DIFFERENCE TO THOSE NAVIGATING OUR SYSTEM.
10:16:47 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:16:50 ONE LAST KIND OF ACCESS TOOL IS COMING SOON.
10:16:53 WE WILL BE LAUNCHING THIS LATER IN THE SUMMER OR EARLY
10:16:58 FALL WHICH IS A MAPPING TOOL RELATED TO OUR LARGE SCALE
10:16:59 PROJECTS.
10:17:02 WE CONSISTENTLY GET INQUIRIES AROUND THE CRANES AND
10:17:08 LARGE BUILDINGS ALL AROUND THE CITY WHEN THIS MAPPING
10:17:14 TOOL GOES LIVE, WE WILL HAVE A INCREASED TRANSPARENCY.
10:17:18 CALLED WHAT IS BUILDING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND A MAP
10:17:21 THAT WILL EASILY TO ACCESS ABOUT PROJECTS ACROSS THE
10:17:21 CITY.
10:17:24 IT WILL BE SORTABLE, SEARCHABLE.
10:17:28 AS YOU CLICK ON ONE OF THE PROJECT DOCS.
10:17:31 IT WILL OPEN AND GIVE YOU A RANGE OF INFORMATION ABOUT
10:17:34 THE PROJECT, WHAT IT IS, WHAT IS EXPECTED AT THE SITE,
10:17:37 WHETHER IT IS COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, HOW HIGH, HOW
10:17:40 TALL, WHAT NUMBER OF STORIES AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
10:17:44 SO A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO
10:17:49 THE PUBLIC TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT OUR
10:17:51 BUILD ENVIRONMENT WILL LOOK LIKE.
10:17:52 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:17:56 JUST WRAPPING UP THEN ON DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS A LOOK
10:18:00 FORWARD INTO, AS I SAID, SORT OF THE MORE COMPLICATED
10:18:03 OR COMPLEX RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF OUR
10:18:04 ADVISORY REPORT.
10:18:07 SOME OF THOSE ALSO HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
10:18:15 WE KNEW THAT WE NEEDED TO FILL SOME VACANCIES AND GAPS
10:18:19 TO MAKE SURE WE HAD APPROPRIATE STAFF WITH OUR CHIEF
10:18:23 BUILDINGS AND OPERATION MANAGER AND WE HAVE LONGER TERM
10:18:27 INITIATIVE IN PROCESS THAT ALLOW ALIGNMENT OF OUR LAND
10:18:29 DEVELOPMENT CODE AND SOME OF OUR ZONING REGULATIONS TO
10:18:36 -- TO MORE APPROPRIATELY BE A GUIDANCE FOR OUR PATH
10:18:39 FORWARD AND WHAT WE WANT OUR CITY TO LOOK LIKE.
10:18:43 AND THESE INITIATIVES ARE PART OF A MASTER PLAN OF --
10:18:47 OF LOOKING AT OUR ASSESSMENT OF OUR ZONING CODE IN
10:18:47 PHASES.
10:18:52 SOME OF THOSE FIRST PROPOSALS WILL BE COMING TO CITY
10:18:55 COUNCIL FOR REVIEW IN THE -- IN THE SUMMER STARTING
10:18:58 EVEN WITH NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.
10:19:04 AND, AGAIN, SO MUCH OF THIS IS ABOUT EASING THE PATH.
10:19:07 MAKING IT LESS DAUNTING FOR PEOPLE TO GET THROUGH THIS
10:19:08 PROCESS.
10:19:11 SOMETIMES WE TRIP OVER OUR OWN CODE AND WE ARE TRYING
10:19:15 TO INVEST IN STREAMLINING, MAKING THINGS EASIER TO --
10:19:17 TO GET THROUGH OUR PROCESS.
10:19:20 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
10:19:23 SO THE DISCUSSION ABOUT SOME OF THE ZONING AND PLANNING
10:19:27 ASPECT IS A GOOD SEGUE TO THE SECOND DIVISION -- SECOND
10:19:30 AND THIRD ACTUALLY OUR PLANNING AND ZONING DIVISION AND
10:19:33 OUR DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION DIVISION.

10:19:44 REGULARLY ARE ZONING REVIEWS, SOME OF THE COMMUNITY
10:19:48 PLANNING, THE FORM-BASED CODES THAT ARE GOING ON HERE,
10:19:51 THE ALCOHOL AND BEVERAGE APPLICATIONS THAT COME
10:19:52 THROUGH.
10:19:56 THIS IS WHERE SORT OF THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD IF YOU
10:20:00 WILL, BEHIND THE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES ACTIVITIES.
10:20:05 AND THE.
10:20:10 THERE ARE MANY IMPLICATIONS OF HOW WE TAKE A LONG VIEW
10:20:12 AT THE HARD POLICIES THAT INFLUENCE SOME OF THE OTHER
10:20:16 MATTERS YOU HEARD ABOUT, MOBILITY AND PARKING, HOUSING
10:20:19 AUTHORITY THAT I WILL TALK ABOUT BRIEFLY, DENSITY.

10:21:24 RECOMMENDED ARE PART OF THIS GROUP'S UNDERTAKING.

10:25:07 AND TWO OTHER ASPECTS OF THE DEPARTMENT ARE THE
10:25:09 INVESTIGATION SERVICES FOR DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINTS
10:25:13 AND A VERY WIDE RANGE OF EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
10:25:16 REGARDING ALL OF THE EMPLOYMENT HOUSING, PUBLIC
10:25:18 ACCOMMODATIONS AND OTHER MATTERS.
10:25:24 THEY HAVE ALMOST REGULARLY MONTHLY AND MANY SEMINARS
10:25:28 AND WORK SHOPS AND FORUMS INTENDED TO COMMUNICATE AND
10:25:31 ENSURE THAT OUR PUBLIC IS AWARE OF THE PROGRAMMING AND
10:25:34 SUPPORT THAT IS AVAILABLE.
10:25:36 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:25:39 BEFORE LEAVING HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
10:25:47 WE WANT TO REFERENCE THE SECOND OF THE FOUR MAYOR'S T 3
10:25:48 ADVISORY REPORTS.
10:25:52 THIS ONE WAS JUST ISSUED FEBRUARY 12 CONCERNING HOUSING
10:25:54 AFFORDABILITY.
10:25:57 WE ARE READY TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING TO DRIVE FORWARD
10:26:01 WITH THE INITIATIVES.
10:26:05 WE HAVE BEEN SIDEWAYS A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE OF COVID-19.
10:26:09 NOT WITHSTANDING THAT, WORK HAS BEEN PROCEEDING ON THIS
10:26:10 INITIATIVE.
10:26:11 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:26:16 SOME OF THESE -- SOME OF THESE INITIATIVES ARE READY TO
10:26:18 MOVE FORWARD AS WE SPEAK.
10:26:23 FOR THOSE THAT ATTENDED THAT PRESENTATION ON FEBRUARY
10:26:27 12, THE MAYOR SPOKE ABOUT INITIATING A COMMUNITY LAND
10:26:29 TRUST THAT WILL BE USED TO MANAGE AND MEET THE GROWING
10:26:34 NEEDS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WORK FORCE HOUSING.
10:26:39 WE HAVE A SPECIFIED SET OF HOUSING TARGETS FOR NEW AND
10:26:41 IMPROVED HOUSING UNITS THAT ARE SET FORTH IN OUR
10:26:45 ADVISORY REPORT AND A SERIES OF OUTREACH AND
10:26:48 INFORMATION AND INCREASED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
10:26:52 PART OF THIS IS ALSO IMPACTED DIRECTLY THEN BY COVID
10:26:55 WHERE THE HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAS BEEN LEADING
10:26:59 EXECUTION OF THE ONE TAMPA RELIEF INITIATIVE.
10:27:01 THE APPLICATION PROCESS.
10:27:05 THE REVIEW PROCESS AND THE PAYMENT PROCESS AND ALSO LED
10:27:08 THE HILLSBOROUGH HOPE TEMPORARY SHELTER PROGRAM, WHICH
10:27:15 THEY ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF RELOCATING AND
10:27:20 TRANSITIONING TO A MORE PERMANENT LOCATION.
10:27:24 AND LASTLY THE TREMENDOUS WORK THAT VANESSA AND HER
10:27:28 TEAM DOES IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE $11 MILLION WORTH
10:27:32 OF FEDERAL GRANTS THAT SERVE VITAL NEEDS FOR USERS
10:27:34 ACROSS -- ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY.
10:27:36 THAT CONCLUDES THE DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS.
10:27:40 AND I WANT TO WRAP UP WITH ONE KIND OF SUMMARY THAT I
10:27:45 THINK EN CAP SUE RATES THE ENTIRE FOR THE FOLIO.
10:27:48 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:27:51 THESE ARE THE THEMES YOU HEARD ME SPEAK TO AND THAT I
10:27:57 THINK INCORPORATED ACROSS ALL OF THE TEAM IS REALLY THE
10:28:01 DESIRE FOR CUSTOMER IMPROVEMENTS AND EFFICIENCIES AT
10:28:03 ANY TOUCH POINT TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE OUR PERFORMANCE
10:28:05 AND OUR ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES.
10:28:11 AND NOW FACED WITH ADAPTING TO THE NEW NORMAL FOR OUR
10:28:12 OPERATIONS AND SERVICES.
10:28:17 AS I SAID WE HAVE A VERY HIGH IMPACT INTO DIRECT TO
10:28:18 CLIENT SERVICES.
10:28:21 WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT EXTREMELY EFFECTIVELY
10:28:25 VIRTUALLY AND WE WILL RETURN TO THAT FACE-TO-FACE
10:28:27 EXEMPTION AND WE WILL NEED TO ADAPT TO A NEW NORMAL
10:28:28 WHICH IS UNDER WAY.
10:28:32 AND THEN WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO -- TO IMPLEMENTING
10:28:36 SOME OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES THAT I
10:28:38 HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT BEFORE.
10:28:41 AND SOME OF THIS IS AROUND A RENEWED FOCUS ON
10:28:44 OPPORTUNITY ZONES AND SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD-DRIVEN
10:28:49 REVITALIZATION THAT HAVE BEEN UNDER WAY AND REMEMBERING
10:28:52 THAT FOCUS ON IT PARTICULARLY NOW WHERE OUR COMMUNITY
10:28:59 WILL NEED SUPPORT AND A FOOTPRINT TO REVITALIZE AND
10:29:05 RESTORE OUR RECOVERY AND THE LAST IS JUST OUR PORTFOLIO
10:29:08 HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON THE COVID RECOVERY INITIATIVE.
10:29:10 AND LAST SLIDE.
10:29:12 LAST ONE PLEASE, THE LIFT UP LOCAL PROGRAM FOR
10:29:15 SUPPORTING RESTAURANT AND RESTAURANT REOPENING.
10:29:17 THE ONE TAMPA PROGRAM THAT I REFERRED TO.
10:29:21 AND THAT CONSTRUCTION SITE SAFETY PROGRAM WHICH I
10:29:24 PREVIOUSLY REPORTED ON, WHICH WE THINK HAS REALLY BEEN
10:29:28 INSTRUMENTAL TO KEEP OUR LARGE CONSTRUCTION SITES SAFE
10:29:31 AND YET CONTINUING TO BE AN ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR THE
10:29:32 CITY.
10:29:35 SO WITH THAT, I WILL CONCLUDE.
10:29:38 AND I THINK I HAVE ONE MORE SLIDE THAT CAN BE AVAILABLE
10:29:40 FOR QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK.
10:29:41 THANK YOU.
10:29:43 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION.
10:29:47 WE WILL GO IN REVERSE ORDER FROM LAST TIME.
10:29:48 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
10:29:53 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
10:29:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR.
10:30:00 THANK YOU, CA RO LE, AND MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:30:05 ONE SORT OF QUESTION, CAROLE, IS IN TALKING WITH SOME
10:30:14 OTHER -- IN TALKING WITH SOME OTHER AGENCIES LIKE THE
10:30:20 MPO AND ETC.
10:30:23 , THEY HAVE A SPACE PROBLEM.
10:30:29 WE HAVE SOLVED OUR SPACE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY BY CITY
10:30:31 COUNCIL GOING TO THE CONVENTION CENTER.
10:30:33 AND I AM WONDERING IF WE COULDN'T REACH OUT TO OUR
10:30:38 BRETHREN AGENCIES LIKE THE BOCC AND MPO AND OTHER
10:30:41 AGENCIES THAT ARE HAVING ISSUES WHERE TO MEET, AND
10:30:43 PERHAPS WORK OUT SOMETHING WHERE THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO
10:30:46 USE THE CONVENTION CENTER AT LEAST UNTIL THE CONVENTION
10:30:49 CENTER STARTS TO GET BUSY AGAIN.
10:30:54 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD ANY DISCUSSIONS WITH -- WITH
10:30:58 ANY AGENCIES AS LONG WE HAVE OUR MEETINGS SET UP.
10:31:05 AND SPRAY A SMALL -- SMALL PROFIT CENTER IF WE HAVE A
10:31:08 NOMINAL AMOUNT FOR PURPOSES OF CLEANING AND STAFF AND
10:31:13 STUFF.
10:31:16 >> YES, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, A GREAT QUESTION AND
10:31:17 GREAT THOUGHT.
10:31:19 WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS AND WE HAVE -- SPECIFICALLY WE
10:31:22 HAD A DISCUSSION WITH HART FOR JUST THAT REASON.
10:31:26 THEY WERE ABLE TO CONVENE A PUBLIC MEETING.
10:31:36 SO WE DO THINK SO EFFECTIVELY WITH THE CONVENTION
10:31:39 CENTER TO MEET OUR NEW DEMANDS.
10:31:42 WE COULD MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO OTHERS.
10:31:44 AS YOU SAID, THERE ARE CONSTRAINTS ON BOTH OUR STAFF
10:31:48 TIME AND AVAILABILITY AND EXPENSES RELATED TO THAT, BUT
10:31:53 NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE INSURMOUNTABLE.
10:32:01 AND OPEN THAT BEYOND OUR OWN FACILITIES.
10:32:03 THERE ARE OTHER FACILITIES PARTICULARLY AROUND DOWNTOWN
10:32:06 THAT HAVE BEEN DOING WHAT THE CONVENTION CENTER DID IN
10:32:11 TERMS OF ADAPTING TO A NEW NORMAL, AND SO WE HAVE BEEN
10:32:14 -- WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING A LITTLE BIT AS A CLEARING
10:32:17 HOUSE TO TRY TO JUST MAKE CONNECTIONS.
10:32:20 WHERE SOMEONE MAY NOT NECESSARILY NEED THE LARGE
10:32:22 ENVIRONMENT LIKE A CONVENTION CENTER, BUT IF THEY JUST
10:32:27 NEED SPACE TO PUT 30 TO 40 PEOPLE TOGETHER IN A ROOM.
10:32:31 AND UNA, AND THROUGH HER CONNECTIONS WITH VISIT TAMPA
10:32:38 BAY AND THE HOSPITALITY COMMUNITY HAS BEEN A STRONG
10:32:41 FORCE IN HELPING THE ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENTAL
10:32:49 ORGANIZATIONS TO SPACE THAT'S COULD SUIT THEIR NEEDS.
10:32:51 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANKS.
10:32:54 I JUST WANT -- THE CONVENTION CENTER BELONGS TO
10:32:54 EVERYBODY.
10:32:56 THE COUNTY IS ALWAYS A GOOD PARTNER WITH REGARD TO THE
10:33:01 CONVENTION CENTER AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
10:33:02 WERE BEING GOOD NEIGHBORS.
10:33:05 THANK YOU, CAROLE, THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.
10:33:07 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:33:12 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT UP, COUNCILMAN GUDES, DO YOU
10:33:14 HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
10:33:15 COUNCILMAN GUDES?
10:33:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:33:21 MR. DINGFELDER TOOK AWAY SOME OF MY THOUGHTS.
10:33:23 I WANT TO MENTION THE MEETING WITH THE CONVENTION
10:33:27 CENTER DIRECTOR AND HAVE SOME QUESTIONS WITH IT RELATES
10:33:30 TO CONTRACTS HERE, AS IT RELATES TO THE FINANCIAL
10:33:34 BURDEN THAT APPARENTLY I WAS TOLD THAT COUNCIL BEING
10:33:35 THERE WILL COST.
10:33:37 AND I AM KIND OF CONCERNED BECAUSE IT IS A CITY
10:33:41 BUILDING, WHY ARE WE BEING CHARGED ASTRONOMICAL FEES
10:33:42 FOR CERTAIN THINGS.
10:33:45 SOMETHING I WANT TO GET IN A LITTLE LATER AND HOPEFULLY
10:33:46 HAVE A GOOD CONVERSATION.
10:33:48 AND YIELD BACK.
10:33:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:33:52 ANY RESPONSE TO THAT?
10:33:54 NO?
10:33:54 >> SURE, OF COURSE.
10:33:57 WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SPEAK WITH YOU.
10:34:00 UNA DOES AN INCREDIBLE JOB.
10:34:04 SHE IS ON THE LINE IF WOULD YOU LIKE TO JUMP IN AND
10:34:08 RESPOND TO THE COUNCILMEMBER'S QUESTION.
10:34:13 THERE MAY BE SPECIFICS WE WILL TAKE ONLINE BUT UNA IS
10:34:14 READY, WILLING AND ABLE.
10:34:16 UNA?
10:34:18 >> YES, COUNCILMAN GUDES, ONE OF OUR DIRECTOR OF
10:34:23 CONVENTION AND SERVICES CENTER.
10:34:25 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING IS WE HAVE
10:34:28 ACTUALLY BEEN TAKING THE EVENTS THAT ARE WANTING TO
10:34:32 CANCEL, AND ALLOWING THEM TO MOVE FORWARD TO FUTURE
10:34:34 DATES AND EVEN FUTURE YEARS.
10:34:40 AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY FLEXIBLE IN OUR OPPORTUNITY -- I
10:34:42 AM SORRY, I AM GETTING FEEDBACK.
10:34:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY WHO IS NOT -- NOT NEAR
10:34:49 YOURSELF, IF YOU HAVE ANY -- THE TV OR COMPUTER IN THE
10:34:52 BACKGROUND, JUST REDUCE THE VOLUME SO WE DON'T GET THIS
10:34:54 FEEDBACK.
10:34:56 >> THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN.
10:34:59 AND, YES, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH SOME OF THE MPOS
10:35:03 AND THE HART PEOPLE AND REFERRING THEM TO THE OTHER --
10:35:04 LOCAL ENTITIES.
10:35:11 THE CONVENTION CENTER IS MEETINGS THAT WE SET UP WITH
10:35:14 CITY COUNCIL ARE REALLY A DYNAMIC INVESTMENT FOR US,
10:35:17 AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS OCCURRED IS THAT THE
10:35:20 BECAUSE OF THE SCHEDULING, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE OVER
10:35:23 THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS TO GO AHEAD AND POLICE
10:35:25 DEPARTMENT ANY OTHER ENTITIES INTO THAT PARTICULAR
10:35:27 ROOM.
10:35:31 SO ONE OF THINGS THAT WE ARE DOING IS REFERRING THEM
10:35:32 OVER.
10:35:37 USF HAS A VERY GREAT MEETING ROOM AND CAN PROVIDE THAT
10:35:39 KIND OF SPACE AS WELL.
10:35:43 AND WE ARE DELIVERING IT ACROSS THE BOARD.
10:35:47 WITH REGARDS TO PRICING AND STUFF.
10:35:50 COUNCILMAN GUDES, I AM HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU ON A
10:35:53 SIDEBAR AT A LATER DATE.
10:35:55 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT WILL BE GREAT, THANK YOU.
10:35:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMAN VIERA.
10:35:59 ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
10:36:01 >>LUIS VIERA: HI, YES, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:36:04 I DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING.
10:36:07 I WAS JUST -- WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS OFF LINE, BUT
10:36:10 WANTED TO FOLLOW-UP ON NEGOTIATION OF HAVING THE
10:36:13 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION COME TO THE CONVENTION
10:36:14 CENTER THIS AUGUST -- THAT IS A JOKE.
10:36:16 I -- I HAVE NO QUESTIONS.
10:36:18 THANK YOU, THOUGH.
10:36:19 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:36:22 COUNCILMAN CITRO?
10:36:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:36:26 YOU CAUGHT ME IN MID-LAUGH.
10:36:30 I -- FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK MISS GARVEY FOR HER
10:36:32 WORK WITH THE TAMPA CONVENTION CENTER DURING THIS TIME
10:36:36 OF CRISIS WITH THE COVID-19, AND THANK HER FOR HER
10:36:40 QUICK RESPONSE IN GETTING TOGETHER WITH OTHER MEMBERS
10:36:45 OF OUR STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION TO HAVE OUR COUNCIL
10:36:47 MEETINGS THERE STARTING NEXT WEEK.
10:36:50 I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ADMINISTRATION FOR EXPEDITING THE
10:36:53 PERMITTING AND INSPECTION PROCESS NOT ONLY FOR OUR
10:36:56 CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, BUT FOR THE EVERYDAY CITIZENS
10:36:58 ALIKE.
10:37:01 I THANK YOU VERY MUCH ON BOTH OF THESE PROCESSES.
10:37:03 NOTHING MORE, MR. CHAIR.
10:37:06 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:37:08 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
10:37:09 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:37:13 I APPRECIATE WHAT EVERYONE SAID AND I WANT TO SAY A
10:37:17 GOOD THANKS TO MY SPECIAL FRIEND MANY YEARS UNA GARVEY
10:37:20 AND HER STAFF AND I WASN'T THERE FOR THE WALK THROUGH
10:37:23 THEY HAD FOR COUNCILMEMBER AND STAFF BECAUSE OF MY WORK
10:37:24 JOB.
10:37:26 I WANT TO THANK HER AND HER STAFF FOR WHAT I HEARD.
10:37:29 IT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION FOR THE CONVENTION CENTER
10:37:31 TO START HAVING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS THERE
10:37:34 STARTING NEXT -- NEXT WEEK, I BELIEVE.
10:37:39 AND A LOT OF THOSE THINGS -- THESE PROJECTS I HAVE IN
10:37:41 INFRASTRUCTURE, THE MORE WE CAN PUT ON THE GROUND AT
10:37:44 LOW INTEREST RATES, THE BETTER OFF WE ARE, AND
10:37:45 UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON.
10:37:50 AND I APPRECIATE THE ADMINISTRATION BEING VERY CAUTIOUS
10:37:53 AND NOT SPENDING THE MONEY AND MAKING SURE THEY HAVE A
10:37:55 DOLLAR'S WORTH FOR A DOLLAR VALUE SPENT.
10:37:58 AND I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE STAFF AND PEOPLE
10:38:01 IN THE CITY THAT HAVE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.
10:38:03 AND I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE IN THE CITY FOR THAT.
10:38:04 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:38:06 THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY.
10:38:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:38:10 COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:38:11 >>BILL CARLSON: HI, THANKS, EVERYBODY.
10:38:13 ONE ADMIN NOTE.
10:38:16 NEXT WEEK, WE WILL BE IN PERSON SO WE WON'T SEE THIS,
10:38:20 BUT THE FACEBOOK FEED DROPS EVERY 30, 40 MINUTES.
10:38:24 AND THE AUDIENCE THEN TRIES TO FIND IT AND A LOT PEOPLE
10:38:27 ARE UPSET NOT BEING ABLE TO TOGGLE -- THE PRESENTATIONS
10:38:30 AND THE MEETINGS.
10:38:31 I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO FIX THAT.
10:38:35 BUT I KNOW OUR AV TEAM WORKS REALLY HARD AND VERY WELL
10:38:38 AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THAT FOR
10:38:39 CONSTITUENTS.
10:38:42 I WANT TO ECHO WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID OF THE CONVENTION
10:38:42 CENTER.
10:38:45 THANK YOU FOR GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY AND THANK YOU FOR
10:38:47 THE STAFF FOR ACCOMMODATING US IN THESE VIRTUAL
10:38:50 MEETINGS WHICH ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SET UP, AND ALSO
10:38:58 FOR THE -- THE SPATIAL DISTANCING MEETINGS COMING UP
10:39:01 AND THE COMPLICATION WITH THE LAND USE ISSUES COMING
10:39:01 UP.
10:39:05 FOR MISS CAROLE POST, I WANT TO THANK YOU.
10:39:08 YOU KNOW BECAUSE WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS PRIVATELY AS
10:39:11 I WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE, THE BIGGEST COMPLAINTS I
10:39:13 HEARD WAS FROM THIS DEPARTMENT.
10:39:14 KNOCKING ON DOORS.
10:39:17 TALKING TO CONSTITUENTS.
10:39:19 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS.
10:39:22 I HAVE AN AWNING AND CITY WON'T RESPOND TO ME.
10:39:25 I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WON'T GIVE ME WHAT I NEED.
10:39:30 THE RESPONSES ON CONSTITUENTS ISSUES HAVE BEEN
10:39:33 PHENOMENAL AND BETTER AND BETTER AND THE INDIVIDUALS
10:39:36 WHO HAVE ISSUES WHERE THEY NEED TO HAVE PERMITS TO THE
10:39:39 BIG DEVELOPERS -- I MET WITH THE -- AS I WAS RUNNING
10:39:43 FOR OFFICE, THE MAYOR MET WITH THEM THE NEXT DAY AND WE
10:39:47 BOTH GOT AN EARFUL AND WE BOTH COMMITTED TO THEM THAT
10:39:50 WE WILL FIX THESE ISSUES, AND I THINK YOU HAVE GONE --
10:39:54 YOU AND YOUR DEPARTMENT HAS GONE WAY BEYOND MOST
10:39:56 EXPECTATIONS FOR WHAT YOU COULD DO.
10:40:01 WHAT YOU AND THE MAYOR AND THE CHIEF OF STAFF AN OTHERS
10:40:06 HAVE DONE IS BROUGHT PROFESSIONALISM TO OUR CITY.
10:40:08 AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY CAN SEE THIS YET BUT SOON
10:40:10 THE CHIEF OF STAFF AND MISS POST WILL BE PUTTING
10:40:12 PERFORMANCE METRICS ONLINE.
10:40:16 NOT ONLY WERE THERE NOT PERFORMANCE METRICS.
10:40:21 UNBELIEVABLY, NOT PERFORMANCE METRICS IN SOME
10:40:23 DEPARTMENTS AND THEY WILL BE PUT ONLINE AND THE
10:40:25 ADMINISTRATION WILL HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEM
10:40:28 AND ALL CENTERED AROUND CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HELPING
10:40:32 CONSTITUENTS WHO ARE INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES TO GET
10:40:34 WHAT THEY NEED TO MOVE FORWARD.
10:40:38 BECAUSE WITHOUT THOSE PROCESSES, OUR ECONOMY CAN'T
10:40:39 CONDITION TO GO.
10:40:43 SO I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING AND
10:40:46 THE PROFESSIONALISM THAT YOU ARE BRINGING TO IT.
10:40:49 MAKES OUR JOBS A LOT EASIER BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF
10:40:50 COMPLAINTS HAVE GONE WAY DOWN.
10:40:54 THE LAST THING I WILL SAY IS ONE OF MY CRITICISMS OF
10:40:57 THE LAST ADMINISTRATION THEY ONLY MEASURED ECONOMIC
10:40:59 DEVELOPMENT RESULTS AND REAL ESTATE PROJECTS AND AS WE
10:41:03 TALK TO THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY, I SAID WE NEED TO
10:41:06 MEASURE SUCCESS NOT IN HOW MANY BUILDINGS WE ARE
10:41:09 BUILDING, BUT WE NEED TO MEASURE IT IN TERMS OF WHAT
10:41:12 PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES ARE RENTING OR BUYING SPACE IN
10:41:15 THESE BUILDINGS, BECAUSE IF WE HELP TO GROW OUR ECONOMY
10:41:19 AND HELP TO BRING THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST TO TAMPA, THEN
10:41:21 WE ARE GOING TO FIND CUSTOMERS.
10:41:25 OUR JOB IS TO FIND CUSTOMERS FOR THE BUSINESSES NOT TO
10:41:28 SUBSIDIZE THE REAL ESTATE ITSELF.
10:41:30 THE REAL ESTATE IS NOT THE END GOAL.
10:41:34 THE END GOAL IS CREATING JOBS AND BUILDING A ROBUST,
10:41:37 DIVERSE ECONOMY THAT REACHES EVERYONE.
10:41:43 THE CITY HAS DONE A BAD JOB OF ADDRESSING ISSUES LIKE
10:41:47 RACIAL AND GENDER DISPARITY AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT
10:41:49 THE CITY COUNCIL IS WORKING WITH THE MAYOR AND CHIEF OF
10:41:54 STAFF AND MISS POST TO TRY TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.
10:41:59 COVID-19 HIT WHEN MS. POST WAS ON BOARD A MONTH
10:42:03 OFFICIALLY AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT SHE CAN
10:42:03 ACCOMPLISH.
10:42:07 THE CITY IN THE PAST QUOTE, UNQUOTE, ECONOMIC
10:42:08 DEVELOPMENT TO THE EDC.
10:42:13 THE EDC'S ROLE REALLY IS A SMALL BIT OF ECONOMIC
10:42:20 DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS BUSINESS RECRUITMENT.AND THAT
10:42:22 ORGANIZATION IS NOT ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC.
10:42:26 IF YOU DON'T PAY $30,000, YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE
10:42:28 SERVICES THEY PROVIDE OR SIT IN THE MEETINGS AND THEY
10:42:31 PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE, BUT THAT IS ONLY A SMALL PART
10:42:33 OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
10:42:35 I THINK THAT PART OF THE ROLE OF THIS DEPARTMENT IS
10:42:37 ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
10:42:42 MEASURE USING TAMPA SCORECARD AND THEIR REGIONAL
10:42:47 SCORECARD BY THE TAMPA BAY PARTNERSHIP AND USF AND
10:42:50 FLORIDA CHAMBER TO USE THE STANDARD METRIC OF THE CITY
10:42:54 TO NOT MEASURE HOW MANY CITIES ARE BUILT IN DOWNTOWN.
10:42:57 BECAUSE EVERY CITY HAS BUILDINGS BUILT IN DOWNTOWN.
10:43:01 EVERY CITY HAS A BILLIONAIRE DEVELOPING MULTIBILLION
10:43:03 DOLLAR PROJECTS IN THEIR DOWNTOWN AND COMMUNITIES.
10:43:07 WE NEED A ROBUST COMMUNITY, A DIVERSE ECONOMIC
10:43:10 DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND I KNOW MS. POST WANTS TO DO
10:43:13 THAT TOO AND CHIEF OF STAFF AND THE MAYOR AND I LOOK
10:43:16 FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL AS THE COVID-19
10:43:18 SITUATION PASSES AND WE GET THESE METRICS AND PROCESSES
10:43:24 -- PROFESSIONAL PROCESSES IN PLACE.
10:43:27 I HOPE WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEW FEWER FOR TAMPA'S
10:43:31 TOMORROW AND A BIG VISION IN THE FUTURE MEASURED BY
10:43:35 HIGH STANDARDS AND BRINGS EVERYTHING IN OUR COMMUNITY.
10:43:36 THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
10:43:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNCILMEN.
10:43:42 IN WRAPPING UP, I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND VERY
10:43:43 INFORMATIVE.
10:43:49 I HAVE RECEIVED A FEW -- NOT COMPLAINTS -- WELL, PEOPLE
10:43:54 HAVE CONTACTED MY OFFICE OF THE ONE TAMPA RELIEF FUND
10:43:57 REGARDING HOW THEY ARE NOT WITHIN THE DISTRICTS, THEY
10:43:59 ARE NOT WITHIN THE CRA AREAS.
10:44:02 NOT DISTRICTS BUT THE BOUNDARY THAT'S WOULD QUALIFY
10:44:02 THEM.
10:44:06 I KNOW THAT WE HAVE ONLY SO MUCH IN AVAILABLE FUNDING.
10:44:09 CAN WE LOOK AT POSSIBLY EXPANDING THAT.
10:44:12 AND BROADENING THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR BUSINESSES
10:44:17 WHO APPLY?
10:44:20 >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN -- OR CHAIRMAN MANISCALCO.
10:44:21 I APPRECIATE IT.
10:44:26 AS WE ALL TALKED ABOUT, THE ONE TAMPA RELIEF EFFORTS A
10:44:29 NUMBER OF TIMES, WE CERTAINLY AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE
10:44:36 ABILITY FOR US TO HAVE A WIDER BASE OF SUPPORT IS
10:44:39 SOMETHING WE ALL DESIRE.
10:44:43 AS WE MOVE THROUGH PHASE TWO OF THE BUSINESS RELIEF
10:44:46 EFFORT ON JUNE 1, IT HAS THOSE GEOGRAPHICAL
10:44:50 RESTRICTIONS WHICH ARE TIED TO CRA FUNDS.
10:44:53 WE ARE VERY MUCH EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES TO MOVE BEYOND
10:44:53 THAT.
10:44:57 AS YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF MANY OF OUR
10:45:01 COMMUNITY -- INCORPORATED COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO DONATED
10:45:05 INTO THE ONE TAMPA FUND WITH THE ABILITY TO HAVE MORE
10:45:11 FLEXIBILITY TO APPLY THOSE FUNDS OUT BEYOND THE
10:45:13 GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITATIONS.
10:45:16 WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE AN EVEN FURTHER EXPANSIVE
10:45:19 PROGRAM IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
10:45:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE
10:45:22 IT.
10:45:25 NOW THINKABLE CONCLUDES THE WORKSHOP UNLESS THERE ARE
10:45:26 ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.
10:45:27 I DON'T THINK THERE ARE.
10:45:31 I KNOW THAT AFTER EACH WORKOUT WE TRADITIONALLY FROM
10:45:32 PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:45:37 CLERK, ANY PUBLIC COMMENT RECORDED OR READY FOR -- THAT
10:45:40 HAS BEEN SUBMITTED OR THAT IT?
10:45:43 >>CLERK: THAT'S IT, CHAIR, NO PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:45:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, INFORMATION AND REPORT
10:45:49 AND NEW BUSINESS BY COUNCILMEMBERS.
10:45:52 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING?
10:45:53 SIR, GO AHEAD.
10:45:56 WAS THAT A NO?
10:45:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:45:59 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
10:46:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
10:46:08 SO I WAS RECENTLY READING -- CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY?
10:46:10 I HAVE FEEDBACK SOMEWHERE.
10:46:11 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
10:46:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WAS RECENTLY READING A PROGRAM
10:46:19 THAT THEY IMPLEMENTED IN NEW YORK STATE IN REGARD TO
10:46:24 GENDER EQUALITY, AND CAROLE POST, YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR
10:46:26 WITH IT HAVING HAD YOUR NEW YORK EXPERIENCE.
10:46:30 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT GOVERNOR CUOMO DID A COUPLE OF
10:46:33 YEARS AGO WITH HIS LEGISLATURE WAS IMPLEMENTED A
10:46:40 PROGRAM WHERE EMPLOYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ASK
10:46:43 EMPLOYEES OR POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES HOW MUCH THEY HAD
10:46:47 PREVIOUSLY BEEN EARNING.
10:46:49 I THOUGHT THAT WAS UNUSUAL.
10:46:52 I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY -- WHY THE GOVERNMENT WOULD
10:46:54 BE RESTRICTING THE EMPLOYERS FROM DOING THAT.
10:46:57 BUT WHEN I READ FURTHER, THEY SAID IT WAS A GENDER
10:46:59 EQUALITY ISSUE.
10:47:03 BECAUSE, IN OTHER WORDS, IF SOME -- LET'S SAY IF A
10:47:06 WOMAN HAD DECIDED TO STAY HOME AND RAISE CHILDREN FOR
10:47:09 TEN YEARS OR WHATEVER AND THEN GO BACK TO WORK,
10:47:12 OBVIOUSLY WHEN SHE HAD BEEN WORKING PERHAPS TEN YEARS
10:47:15 EARLIER AND NOT MAKING VERY MUCH MONEY, WHEN SHE WENT
10:47:19 BACK TO WORK, A LOT OF TIMES, THE EMPLOYERS WOULD SORT
10:47:23 OF HOLD THAT AGAINST HER AND NOT PAY HER AS MUCH ONCE
10:47:27 SHE RETURNED TO THE WORKFORCE AS OPPOSED TO PAYING HER
10:47:30 WHAT A MAN MAY HAVE BEEN MAKING IN THE WORK FORCE THE
10:47:31 WHOLE TIME.
10:47:34 I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYBODY IS FALLING ME ON THAT.
10:47:37 BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS MAKE A MOTION TO ASK OUR
10:47:43 LEGAL DEPARTMENT IF WE COULD POSSIBLY EXPLORE THAT NEW
10:47:46 YORK STATE STATUTE AND LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITY OF
10:47:50 POLICE DEPARTMENTS LOCALLY WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:47:54 FIRST, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY AND
10:47:55 ABILITY TO DO THAT.
10:48:02 AND THEN IF WE DO, TO EXPLORE THE PROS AND CONS.
10:48:03 >> ALL RIGHT.
10:48:07 DO YOU HAVE A DATE FOR THAT -- I HAVE THE CALENDAR IN
10:48:08 FRONT OF YOU.
10:48:10 ANY SPECIFIC TIME?
10:48:12 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WILL GIVE THEM -- GIVE THEM AT
10:48:14 LEAST 60 DAYS.
10:48:14 NOTHING URGENT.
10:48:19 SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING AND GOOD FOR
10:48:21 -- FOR EQUALITY.
10:48:23 WOMEN'S EQUALITY.
10:48:26 >> IF THAT WAS A MOTION, I WILL SECOND IT.
10:48:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A -- WE HAVE.
10:48:29 [INAUDIBLE]
10:48:32 -- IF YOU CAN PLEASE MUTE IT.
10:48:33 OKAY.
10:48:38 MUTE THE PHONE.
10:48:40 ALL RIGHT.
10:48:43 WE HAVE AUGUST IS A PRETTY LIGHT MONTH.
10:48:46 WE CAN LOOK AT AUGUST 6 AS OUR REGULAR SESSION.
10:48:51 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO -- IF AUGUST 6 WORKS, COUNCILMAN
10:48:53 DINGFELDER?
10:48:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT WORKS FOR ME.
10:48:57 AND SECOND FOR A SECOND FROM MRS. CARLSON.
10:49:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN

10:52:51 I WANT TO GIVE A PUBLIC KUDOS TO COUNCILMAN GUDES.
10:52:55 I SAW IN THE NEWS A STORY FROM MITCH PERRY ON A PIVOTAL
10:52:58 ISSUE OF THE UNEMPLOYED AND RENT.
10:53:03 OUR GOVERNOR HAVE ISSUED A MORATORIUM ON EVICTIONS THAT
10:53:09 EXPIRES NEXT WEEK AND COUNCILMAN GUDES WAS VOCAL IN HIS
10:53:13 TIME FOR THOSE WHOSE BACKS ARE UP AGAINST THE WALL.
10:53:17 COUNCILMAN GUDES, WANT TO PUBLICLY SALUTE YOU FOR THAT
10:53:22 AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THAT REGARD AND
10:53:24 ALSO I WANT TO SALUTE SOMEBODY TODAY.
10:53:27 SOME OF US KNOW RETIRED COLONEL JIM FLETCHER.
10:53:32 HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE VIETNAM VETERANS 787.
10:53:34 A SENIOR MEMBER OF THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY VETERANS
10:53:35 TREATMENT COURT.
10:53:39 WE HAVE HAD NOMINATED COLONEL FLETCHER FOR HILLSBOROUGH
10:53:41 COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION LIBERTY BELL AWARD.
10:53:46 IT IS A MOST PRESTIGIOUS AWARD GIVEN TO ADVISE WHO ARE
10:53:50 NOT ATTORNEYS, PAST RECIPIENTS INCLUDING GENERAL NORMAN
10:53:56 SCHWARZKOPF AND BOB MARTINEZ AND MAYOR JANE CASTOR.
10:54:00 AND WE ARE AIMING FOR COLONEL FLETCHER WHO IS ONE OF
10:54:03 THE NICEST PEOPLE ON GOD'S EARTH.
10:54:07 AND THIRD, MR. CHAIR, I WANTED TO GIVE ANOTHER SHOUT
10:54:10 OUT TO AN ISSUE THAT I HAVE SPOKEN OF BEFORE AND I KNOW
10:54:13 THAT -- I BELIEVE FELT SO STRONGLY ABOUT THIS.
10:54:16 SOMETHING THAT OCCURRED TO MANY OF US AND I AM THANK.
10:54:21 FOR MAYOR CASTOR AND HER LEADERSHIP ON THE ISSUE EPG
10:54:24 AND THE ROLL THEREIN.
10:54:26 THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS ONE MEMBER OF THE BOARD AND I
10:54:28 BELIEVE THAT THE MAYOR IS LEADING THE WAY ON THIS THAT
10:54:32 WE SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER MEMBER ON THIS BOARD.
10:54:34 I WOULD SUGGEST FROM CITY COUNCIL THAT WE HAVE IN THE
10:54:37 CITY ALMOST 100,000 INDIVIDUALS AND THE THIRD LARGEST
10:54:38 CITY IN FLORIDA.
10:54:46 IF YOU COMBINE THE POPULATION OF PLANT CITY AND TEMPLE
10:54:50 TERRACE THAT I GREW UP TOGETHER FIFTH AS MANY RESIDENTS
10:54:55 AS TAMPA DOES AND TWICE THE REPRESENTATION.
10:54:59 NOT TO PICK ON OUR FRIENDS FROM PLANT CITY AND TEMPLE
10:55:02 TERRACE BUT JUST TO MAKE A MATH CAL FACT IN THAT
10:55:02 REGARD.
10:55:08 I SALUTE THE MAYOR FOR USING HER POSITION ON THIS
10:55:09 ISSUE.
10:55:11 SHE HAS BEEN THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
10:55:15 BEFORE SHE WAS MAYOR AND CLEANED IT NOW.
10:55:16 AND A SHOUT OUT FOR THAT ISSUE.
10:55:19 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:55:20 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
