09:05:21 ONE HAS NOT SHOWN UP AS OF YET.
09:05:24 THAT'S ZULEMA RAMOS.
09:05:26 BUT I HAVE CHRIS VELA AVAILABLE TO SPEAK.
09:05:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
09:05:31 IF MR. VELA IS READY, I'LL GO AHEAD AND START THE CLOCK,
09:05:34 IF YOU WOULD UNMUTE HIM.
09:05:36 >> CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME?
09:05:37 >> YES, SIR. GO AHEAD.
09:05:42 >> OKAY, PERFECT.
09:05:43 COUNCIL, GOOD MORNING.
09:05:45 THIS IS CHRIS, 33605 IN YBOR CITY.
09:05:49 I WANTED TO TALK QUICKLY ABOUT ITEM NUMBER 52 WHICH IS
09:05:52 THE CITY ACQUISITION OF 1312 NORTH TAMPA STREET.
09:05:56 I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY WAS
09:06:00 GOING TO COST $5 MILLION, BEING THAT IT'S ONLY .6 ACRES,
09:06:04 BUT THEN I REALIZED THAT THE CITY OWNS 2.4 ACRES BEHIND
09:06:08 IT GIVING IT A TOTAL OF 3 ACRES WHICH REALLY WOULD BE --
09:06:13 FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
09:06:14 SO ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I WOULD MAKE IS TO
09:06:17 WORK WITH FDOT TO REMOVE THE ASHLEY DRIVE SOUTHBOUND AND
09:06:22 NORTHBOUND EXIT AS THIS WILL TRIPLE THE AMOUNT OF SPACE
09:06:25 THAT YOU NEED, AND WILL RESTORE THE HISTORIC LINE OF
09:06:29 SIGHT SO WE WILL NO LONGER SEE THOSE RAMPS AT ALL.
09:06:33 THOSE ARE THE OLDEST PART OF THE INTERSTATE, AND THE
09:06:36 TRAFFIC ON THERE IS VERY LOW, ACTUALLY. IT'S UNDER 4,000
09:06:40 CARS GOING NORTHBOUND, AND ONLY 13,000 SOUTHBOUND, AND WE
09:06:44 GOT NUMEROUS EXITS, AS YOU ARE AWARE. I THINK THIS IS AN
09:06:49 OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY EXPAND ON THIS, FLATTEN ASHLEY SO
09:06:52 WE HAVE REALLY GOOD ACCESS.
09:06:54 AND SO I WOULD JUST SUGGEST YOU GUYS WORK WITH STAFF VERY
09:06:59 CAREFULLY TO PRICE MOVE FORWARD. JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT
09:07:05 ANY TYPE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL SHOULD INCLUDE
09:07:09 MAXIMIZATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SO I WOULD URGE THE
09:07:15 DEVELOPER, WHOEVER OF THAT MAY BE, TO PURCHASE -- I'M
09:07:19 SORRY, TO HELP FUND THE STREETCAR STOP.
09:07:22 I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.
09:07:23 FOR ITEM 54 FOR KENNEDY, WHY DON'T WE REDUCE THE SPEED
09:07:28 DOWN TO 30?
09:07:29 IT'S ACTUALLY THE SAME TRAFFIC AS BAYSHORE, A LOT MORE
09:07:31 STOPS AND TURNS.
09:07:32 AND I WOULD ASK FDOT TO DO A WIDER SIDEWALK ON KENNEDY.
09:07:35 NO BICYCLIST WOULD USE THIS. GOOD SHADE AND WE ALSO NEED
09:07:35 PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING.
09:07:43 GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE BONUS PROVISION FOR ITEM 48.
09:07:46 AND I JUST WANT TO REMIND COUNCIL THAT THERE WAS AN
09:07:49 APOLOGY ISSUED TWO FEW WEEKS AGO.
09:07:51 WE CAN'T ALLOW A PEDESTRIAN TO BE RUN DOWN BY VEHICLES
09:07:54 ESPECIALLY DISTRICT 4, YOU KNOW, PRIMARILY A VERY DIVERSE
09:07:59 COMMUNITY, AND NOW IT'S PRIMARILY WHITE.
09:08:02 I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS GOING
09:08:04 ON.
09:08:05 THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS LIKE PORT TAMPA.
09:08:07 SO LET'S JUST TRY TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THE
09:08:10 SITUATION FROM ALL ANGLES.
09:08:11 IT'S VERY EMBARRASSING AND SHAMEFUL.
09:08:15 THIS HAS GOT TO TURN ITSELF AROUND.
09:08:17 THANK YOU.
09:08:17 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
09:08:20 MADAM CLERK, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S ON THE LINE
09:08:23 FOR PUBLIC COMMENT?
09:08:24 >>THE CLERK: [OFF MICROPHONE]
09:08:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THAT'S GREAT.
09:08:31 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:08:33 I WOULD JUST LIKE TO WISH CHARLIE FRAGO OF "TAMPA BAY
09:08:38 TIMES" WHO IS LISTENING A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
09:08:40 SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
09:08:43 OKAY, THE AGENDA AND ADDENDUM TO THE AGENDA.
09:08:46 A COUPLE THINGS. IF YOU NOTICE THAT FDOT'S PRESENTATION
09:08:49 IS ITEM 54.
09:08:51 I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT TO ITEM -- RIGHT AFTER ITEM
09:08:55 NUMBER 1 AFTER THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS SPEAKS.
09:08:59 AND THEN ON ANY ITEMS UNDER STAFF REPORTS, DO WE NEED
09:09:10 STAFF FOR ALL THESE ITEMS TO BE PRESENT?
09:09:13 ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC -- ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS?
09:09:16 I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER DINGFELDER SENT A MEMO TO PULL ONE
09:09:20 ITEM FOR DISCUSSION.
09:09:21 DO ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS NEED STAFF TO STAY PUT UNTIL
09:09:25 WE GET TO THEM?
09:09:26 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
09:09:30 YES, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:09:31 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
09:09:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
>>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:09:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
09:09:37 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE AGENDA SHIFTED.
09:09:41 I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHERE THESE ITEMS ARE.
09:09:44 >>MARTIN SHELBY: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, I BELIEVE IT'S
09:09:47 ITEM 43, IF YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT ONE.
09:09:50 I BELIEVE THAT IS THE ONE YOU REQUESTED.
09:09:52 CAN YOU CONFIRM IF THAT IS THE RIGHT NUMBER?
09:09:54 THE LIST OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS?
09:09:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'D LIKE 43 -- (INDISCERNIBLE) -- AND
09:10:06 ALSO A COUPLE OF BIG-TICKET ITEMS.
09:10:11 ITEM 49 IS THE $8 MILLION CONTRACT.
09:10:26 AND ITEM 50 IS ANOTHER $8 MILLION CONTRACT.
09:10:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I SEE A MEMO FROM BRAD BAIRD.
09:10:35 DO YOU WANT BRAD BAIRD ON THE LINE OR SOMEONE FROM HIS
09:10:38 OFFICE TO BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AT THAT TIME?
09:10:44 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, IT LOOKS LIKE STAFF IS ALREADY
09:10:46 DOING THAT BECAUSE THEY ASKED TO MOVE IT FROM CONSENT --
09:10:49 OH, STAFF REPORTS.
09:10:50 YES, I'D LIKE SOMEBODY ON THE LINE ON 49 AND 50 AS WELL
09:10:54 AS 43.
09:11:01 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I DIDN'T PULL THOSE ITEMS BECAUSE MR.
09:11:03 DINGFELDER ALREADY SENT THE MEMOS OUT FOR THE BIG-TICKET
09:11:06 ITEMS.
09:11:06 ALONG BRAD BAIRD WILL BE HERE, HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
09:11:10 QUESTIONS FOR TWO OR THREE ITEMS THAT I HAVE QUESTIONS
09:11:13 FOR.
09:11:14 HOPEFULLY MR. HARTFORD WILL BE WITH HIM AS WELL BECAUSE I
09:11:18 HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT A COUPLE OF ITEMS.
09:11:20 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:11:21 >>BILL CARLSON: MR. CHAIR, ALSO -- SORRY IF YOU MENTIONED
09:11:25 THIS ALREADY, BUT THE STAFF ASKED THAT WE CONTINUE ITEM
09:11:28 NUMBER 57.
09:11:34 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF WE CAN GET A MOTION TO CONTINUE
09:11:36 ITEM NUMBER 57.
09:11:41 >>MARTIN SHELBY: DO WE HAVE A DATE FOR THAT, MR.
09:11:44 CHAIRMAN?
09:11:44 I BELIEVE THEY WANTED 60 DAYS.
09:11:46 IS THAT CORRECT?
09:11:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I BELIEVE SO.
09:11:51 COUNCILMAN CARLSON, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT?
09:11:53 I KNOW IT WAS YOUR ORIGINAL MOTION.
09:11:55 >>BILL CARLSON: I THINK 60 DAYS WILL BE GREAT.
09:11:58 I CAN'T QUICKLY FIND THE MEMO BUT I KNOW IT'S SOMEWHERE
09:12:01 AROUND THERE.
09:12:02 60 DAYS WOULD BE GOOD.
09:12:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOVEMBER 19 UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
09:12:06 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WAS GOING TO SAY NOVEMBER 19, WOULD
09:12:09 THAT BE SUFFICIENT?
09:12:10 THAT'S ROUGHLY 60 DAYS.
09:12:12 >>BILL CARLSON: GREAT.
09:12:13 THANK YOU.
09:12:13 I MOVE THAT WE MOVE ITEM NUMBER 57 TO NOVEMBER -- WHAT
09:12:17 DID YOU SAY?

09:12:20 >>BILL CARLSON: 19th UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
09:12:22 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM MR. CARLSON TO CONTINUE

09:12:37 HAVE CONTINUED ITEM NUMBER 57.
09:12:39 NOW CAN I GET A MOTION --
09:12:42 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALSO 56, WHICH IS OUR BIANNUAL WMBE
09:12:48 REPORT ON PIPES.
09:12:55 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU FADED AWAY.
09:12:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT SHOULD BE A VERBAL REPORT AS

09:13:43 ALL RIGHT.
09:13:44 WE WILL NOW GO TO A TEN-MINUTE PRESENTATION BY ADDISON
09:13:47 DAVIS, OUR SUPERINTENDENT OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PUBLIC
09:13:50 SCHOOLS.
09:13:51 SIR, IF YOU'RE READY TO GO, PLEASE BEGIN.
09:13:55 >> YES, SIR.
09:13:56 GOOD MORNING, AND THANK YOU COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO, AND
09:14:00 THANK EVERYONE RELATED TO THEIR CONTINUED CIVIC
09:14:03 LEADERSHIP WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
09:14:05 AS YOU KNOW, COMING IN FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS, I NEVER
09:14:09 KNEW THAT I'D HAVE TO BECOME A PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERT, BUT
09:14:12 LEARNED A LOT ABOUT INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND HOW WE CAN
09:14:16 CONTINUE TO PROTECT THIS COMMUNITY.
09:14:17 AS YOU KNOW, THE INDUSTRY CHANGED IN MOMENTS IN PUBLIC
09:14:23 EDUCATION.
09:14:23 WE CONTINUE TO HOLD ON TO 150 YEARS OF TRADITIONAL
09:14:27 PRACTICES IN EDUCATION, BUT COVID HAS REALLY CHANGED THE
09:14:30 LANDSCAPE.
09:14:30 AND WE, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, HAS FOCUSED ON EDUCATING OUR
09:14:35 STUDENTS IN A VIRTUAL MANNER IN ORDER TO ADDRESS OUR
09:14:38 LEARNERS IN DIFFERENT WAYS TO HELP THEM BE SUCCESSFUL.
09:14:41 OPENLY, WHEN WE ELECTED TO TRANSITION IN MARCH TO GO TO A
09:14:47 VIRTUAL PERSPECTIVE, WE WERE OPENLY UNPREPARED.
09:14:51 WE WENT ON SPRING BREAK AND WE CAME BACK SEVEN DAYS LATER
09:14:55 AND WE ASKED OUR TEACHERS IN MARCH TO BE ABLE TO STOP ON
09:14:59 THE DIME AND TRANSITION FROM BRICK AND MORTAR IN ORDER TO
09:15:02 EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN IN A UNIQUE FASHION AND IN A WAY
09:15:07 THAT THEY WERE NOT TRAINED TO DO SO.
09:15:10 90% OF OUR EDUCATORS EVERY SINGLE DAY SIGNED UP TO
09:15:13 TRANSITION TO EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS IN BRICK AND MORTAR,
09:15:16 WHERE 10% OF OUR EDUCATORS ELECTED TO TEACH IN A REMOTE
09:15:21 MANNER.
09:15:22 HOWEVER, DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, WE'VE HAD THE TRANSITION.
09:15:24 WE'VE HAD TO PIVOT.
09:15:25 WE'VE HAD TO BE FLEXIBLE AND FIND PROACTIVE SOLUTIONS IN
09:15:30 ORDER TO CONNECT WITH OUR CHILDREN EVERY SINGLE DAY.
09:15:32 AS YOU CAN SEE OPENLY, THIS HASN'T BEEN A SUPER POPULAR
09:15:36 DECISION THROUGHOUT NOT ONLY IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY BUT
09:15:38 THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND THROUGHOUT THE NATION.
09:15:40 COVID-19 HAS REALLY PUSHED US TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT
09:15:44 HOW WE EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN IN MULTIPLE FACETS.
09:15:48 ONE THING WE DID IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY DUE TO THE
09:15:50 EXECUTIVE ORDER BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,
09:15:52 WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY MULTIPLE CHOICES FOR OUR
09:15:56 CONSTITUENTS.
09:15:57 ONE THAT ALLOW THE CHILDREN TO COME BACK TO BRICK AND
09:16:00 MORTAR AND ANOTHER ONE THAT ALLOWED THEM TO CONTINUE
09:16:02 THROUGH THE E-LEARNING PROCESS AND FOLLOW THEIR SCHEDULE
09:16:06 REMOTELY IN A MOST COMFORTABLE SITUATION FOR THEM, AND
09:16:09 THEN WE OFFER HILLSBOROUGH VIRTUAL SCHOOLS AS ANOTHER
09:16:12 OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR CHILDREN TO GET THEIR EDUCATION.
09:16:14 RIGHT NOW, AS WE OPEN OUR DOORS BACK ON MARCH THE 24th,
09:16:19 WE SPENT ONE WEEK WITH MARCH START WEEK, THAT WEEK WAS
09:16:23 ALL ABOUT GETTING CONNECTED TO OUR NEW CURRICULUMS, OUR
09:16:26 NEW LEARNING -- PLATFORMS IN ORDER FOR OUR CHILDREN TO
09:16:29 INTERACT REMOTELY, JUST IN CASE THEY HAD TO SELF-ISOLATE
09:16:34 OR SELF-QUARANTINE DURING THIS PRESENT TIME.
09:16:37 TO DATE, WE HAVE 215,000 STUDENTS THAT HAVE JOINED BACK
09:16:40 TO US FOR THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
09:16:42 WE ARE PROJECTED AROUND 228,000.
09:16:46 WE DO HAVE 13,000 STUDENTS THAT WE ARE DOWN IN
09:16:49 ENROLLMENT.
09:16:50 WE DO SEE AN UPTICK AROUND 3,000 STUDENT TRANSITION TO
09:16:54 CHARTER SCHOOLS, THAT 13,000, AND ANOTHER 3,000 STUDENTS
09:16:57 THAT HAVE TRANSITIONED TO HOME EDUCATION.
09:16:59 THAT LEAVES US WORKING WITH OUR SCHOOL-BASED LEADERS, OUR
09:17:03 SUPPORT STAFF, OUR SOCIAL WORKERS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY
09:17:06 WHERE THE ADDITIONAL 7,000 STUDENTS MAY HAVE TRANSITIONED
09:17:09 TO AS THEY SEEK TO BE EDUCATED ALONG THE WAY.
09:17:12 BUT IN THAT NUMBER, WE HAVE CLOSE TO 120,000 STUDENTS
09:17:15 THAT HAVE ELECTED TO COME BACK TO BRICK AND MORTAR, AND
09:17:18 WE HAVE OVER 96,000 STUDENTS THAT HAVE ELECTED TO LEARN
09:17:21 FROM A REMOTE PERSPECTIVE.
09:17:23 WITH THAT SAID, OVER 97% OF OUR EDUCATORS HAVE ELECTED TO
09:17:29 RETURN WITH 25,000 EMPLOYEES.
09:17:31 WE HAVE 15,000 THAT ARE INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF MEMBERS.
09:17:35 OF THOSE, THE BULK OF THEM DECIDED TO COME BACK.
09:17:38 WE DO HAVE 2.6 OF OUR EDUCATORS WHO INSTRUCT OUR CHILDREN
09:17:42 EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT HAVE ELECTED TO TRANSITION TO A
09:17:45 DIFFERENT PROFESSION THAT THEY CAN FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE
09:17:48 IN OR ELECTED TO RETIRE OR TAKE LEAVE.
09:17:51 HOWEVER, FROM -- OPEN THE DOORS, WE SEE THE EXCITEMENT.
09:17:57 WE SEE THE INTERACTION AND WE SEE THE HIGH QUALITY
09:18:01 INSTRUCTION TAKING PLACE EVERY DAY BETWEEN OUR STUDENTS
09:18:03 AND OUR LEARNERS.
09:18:05 BUT THE WAY WE DO WORK AND THE WAY WE EXTENDED
09:18:08 INSTRUCTION THROUGH BRICK AND MORTAR HAS BEEN
09:18:10 TREMENDOUSLY DIFFERENT.
09:18:10 THE WAY THAT WE HAVE ACCEPTED OUR STUDENTS FROM ON CAMPUS
09:18:13 TO THE WAY THAT WE'VE HAD STAGGERED DISMISSAL, ALL OF IT
09:18:19 LOOKS TREMENDOUSLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE USED TO KNOW AS
09:18:21 BEST PRACTICES.
09:18:22 IF YOU HAVE LITTLE ONES THAT ARE IN OUR SCHOOLS, YOU WILL
09:18:27 KNOW THAT WE HAVE MODIFIED OUR CLASSROOMS TO MAKE CERTAIN
09:18:29 WE HAVE SOCIAL DISTANCING WHERE POSSIBLE AND WE HAVE
09:18:33 REFINED EVERY PROTOCOL AND EVERY STEP WE CAN TAKE IN
09:18:36 ORDER TO MITIGATE COVID-19.
09:18:38 WE ARE REQUIRING FACE COVERINGS ON EVERY ONE OF OUR
09:18:41 CAMPUSES.
09:18:41 WE HAVE ONE-WAY DIRECTIONAL HALLWAYS.
09:18:44 WE HAVE SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT EVERY ONE OF OUR FACILITIES,
09:18:48 ALL TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHERE AND HOW OUR LEARNERS
09:18:51 WILL TRANSITION FROM ONE CLASSROOM TO THE NEXT OR THROUGH
09:18:54 COMMON AREAS.
09:18:55 IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE TAKEN A SERIOUS STANCE ON
09:18:59 MAKING CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF PPE
09:19:02 FOR EVERY ONE OF OUR STUDENTS AND EVERY ONE OF OUR
09:19:05 EMPLOYEES.
09:19:05 WE HAVE GIVEN OVER 1.2 MILLION MASKS TO OUR SCHOOLS AND
09:19:11 OUR EMPLOYEES IN OUR ORGANIZATION.
09:19:13 WE HAVE GIVEN OVER 500,000 GLOVES.
09:19:16 WE'VE GIVEN OVER 42,000 HAND SANITIZERS.
09:19:19 AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE OVER 25,000 SIGNS WITHIN OUR
09:19:23 SCHOOLS IN ORDER TO MAKE CERTAIN WE'RE TAKING THE RIGHT
09:19:26 STEPS TO MITIGATE COVID.
09:19:28 AS OUR STUDENTS TRANSITION TO CLASSROOMS, THEY HAVE
09:19:30 SANITATION STATIONS THAT ALLOW THEM TO OBTAIN WHATEVER
09:19:34 PPE THEY NEED IN ORDER TO MAKE CERTAIN THEY ARE TAKING
09:19:37 THE RIGHT STEPS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES ALONG WITH OTHERS.
09:19:40 THE BIG THING THAT WE SEE IS -- WE HAVE STUDENTS AND
09:19:46 EMPLOYEES ALL THE TIME COMING TO OUR CAMPUSES WHO HAVE
09:19:50 SYMPTOMS OR WAITING ON AN ASSESSMENT, AND THAT HAS REALLY
09:19:55 BROUGHT THE BULK OF OUR CASES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE
09:19:59 WITHIN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
09:20:00 WE'RE TRYING TO DO OUR BEST TO EDUCATE OUR PARENTS TO
09:20:03 KEEP THE LITTLE ONES HOME, TO KEEP THE CHILDREN HOME
09:20:06 UNTIL THAT ASSESSMENT HAS COME BACK NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE,
09:20:09 SO THAT WE CONTINUE TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM STUDENTS WHO
09:20:16 MAY NOT HAVE THE SYMPTOMS SO WE DO NOT HAVE A CONTINUED
09:20:19 EXPOSURE.
09:20:20 WE'VE HAD SUCCESSES ALONG THE WAY.
09:20:22 WE HAVE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB BEING ABLE TO CREATE
09:20:26 DIFFERENT PLATFORMS FOR REMOTE LEARNING.
09:20:28 AS YOU KNOW, WE TRANSITIONED -- TO TRANSITION TO CAMPUS.
09:20:33 THAT IS ANOTHER SUITE THAT ALLOWS US TO UPLOAD LESSONS,
09:20:36 TO HAVE FULL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENT
09:20:41 AND PARENT AND TEACHER IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY WHERE THEY
09:20:46 ARE ACADEMICALLY ALONG WITH THEIR ASSIGNMENTS.
09:20:47 WE ALSO PUT IN NEW PROTOCOLS RELATED TO ZOOM TO FURTHER
09:20:51 PROTECT OUR STUDENTS AND OUR TEACHERS THROUGH THAT
09:20:53 INTERACTION.
09:20:54 AND WE LEVERAGED PARTNERSHIPS SUCH AS -- AND OTHER
09:20:57 COMMUNITY PROVIDERS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE
09:20:59 HAVE PPE, WIFI AVAILABILITY ALONG WITH ADDRESSING THE
09:21:04 DIGITAL DIVIDE BECAUSE WE'VE GIVEN OVER 40,000 LAPTOPS TO
09:21:08 OUR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEM CONTINUE TO LEARN IN
09:21:13 A REMOTE MANNER.
09:21:15 SO WE HAVE CONTINUED TO -- WE'VE COME A LOGISTIC MANAGER
09:21:19 OF PPE, BEING ABLE TO COMPETE NOT ONLY LOCALLY WITH
09:21:23 HOSPITALS, BUT ALSO WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND EVERY
09:21:27 COMPANY WITHIN OUR NATION, AND WE'VE HAD A BEAUTIFUL
09:21:31 RELATIONSHIP WITH TGH AND ALSO USF HEALTH.
09:21:34 AND THAT'S ALLOWED US TO OPENLY ALLOWED THEM TO REVIEW
09:21:40 THE REOPENING PLAN, RETURN TO ATHLETIC PLAN.
09:21:43 ALSO HELPED US TO CREATE EXPEDITED COVID-19 ASSESSMENTS.
09:21:48 WE PARTNER WITH FAST TRACK.
09:21:49 TEN GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS.
09:21:51 THEY ARE LOCATED IN HILLSBOROUGH, PINELLAS AND PASCO THAT
09:21:55 ALLOW OUR INDIVIDUALS, IF THEY ARE IDENTIFYING SYMPTOMS,
09:22:01 BEING ABLE TO TRANSITION IMMEDIATELY TO GET AN EXPEDITED
09:22:04 ASSESSMENT THAT WILL GET RESULTS WITHIN 24 HOURS.
09:22:08 THE BIGGEST THING IS THAT I LIVE IN SCHOOLS FOR THE FIRST
09:22:13 PART OF MY MORNINGS.
09:22:14 ONE OF THE FIRST MORNINGS I HAVEN'T TO ADDRESS YOU, WHICH
09:22:17 I'M GRATEFUL FOR.
09:22:18 I SPEND THE TIME BETWEEN 7:30 IN THE MORNING AND NOON
09:22:21 WALKING SCHOOLS EVERY SINGLE DAY TO IDENTIFY TRENDS AND
09:22:24 PATTERNS ABOUT HOW WE CAN CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND IDENTIFY
09:22:27 WHAT'S WORKING, WHAT'S NOT, AND WHAT WE CAN DO
09:22:29 DIFFERENTLY, NOT ONLY EDUCATIONALLY, BUT ALSO WHAT WE CAN
09:22:33 DO DIFFERENTLY RELATED TO BEING ABLE ACCEPT OUR CHILDREN
09:22:35 AND MAKING CERTAIN WE HAVE THE NECESSARY ORGANIZATIONAL
09:22:38 CONTROLS RELATED TO OUR IMPLEMENTATION AND RETURN PLAN
09:22:42 FOR PPE AND SAFETY.
09:22:45 WE DO SEE, THOUGH, AS WE TRANSITION BACK TO SCHOOL AND
09:22:50 OUR STUDENTS HAVEN'T BEEN IN A BRICK-AND-MORTAR SCHOOL
09:22:52 SINCE MARCH, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CHALLENGES, CHALLENGES
09:22:54 RELATED TO EQUITY.
09:22:55 WE HAVE MANY PARENTS AND MANY FAMILIES THAT DO NOT HAVE
09:23:00 THE AVAILABILITY TO MOBILE DEVICES OR AVAILABILITY TO
09:23:04 INTERNET PROVIDERS SO THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PARTNER
09:23:06 WITH MANY OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, BEING ABLE TO PARTNER
09:23:12 WITH BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS AND LEVERAGE FEDERAL MONEY TO
09:23:17 BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THIS DIVIDE.
09:23:19 WE ALSO SEE THERE ARE INEQUITIES IN NOT ONLY
09:23:23 TRANSPORTATION IN GETTING OUR CHILDREN TO AND FROM
09:23:26 SCHOOLS, BUT ALSO THE AVAILABILITY FOR E-LEARNERS TO BE
09:23:29 ABLE TO COME AND BE A PART OF OUR GRAB-AND-GO MEALS
09:23:32 TAKING PLACE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
09:23:34 WE WERE ABLE TO FEED AROUND 6.5 MILLION STUDENTS SINCE
09:23:39 MARCH DURING THIS PANDEMIC.
09:23:41 ONE THING WE'VE DONE IS REMAIN CONSTANT TO ADDRESS OUR
09:23:44 STUDENTS ALONG THE WAY.
09:23:45 E-LEARNING, REMOTE LEARNING HAS ITS CHALLENGES AS WELL.
09:23:49 BEING ABLE TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE THE NECESSARY
09:23:53 AVAILABILITY FOR MENTAL HEALTH PRACTITIONERS, LEVERAGING
09:23:56 TELEHEALTH.
09:23:57 NOTHING LIKE BEING IN FRONT OF OUR CHILDREN TO IDENTIFY
09:23:59 WHAT THEY MAY BE GOING THROUGH, WHETHER EMOTIONAL, LINKED
09:24:03 DEPRESSION, ANXIETY.
09:24:05 BECAUSE WHEN THEY ARE WITH US, WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE A
09:24:09 CLEARER INDICATION OF WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH AND
09:24:11 HAVE A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO SELF-REFER TO CONNECT WITH
09:24:14 OUR COUNSELORS, OUR SOCIAL WORKERS, OUR SCHOOL
09:24:17 PSYCHOLOGISTS.
09:24:17 IT'S NOT A TIGHTEN THE BELT RELATED TO WHAT WE CAN DO TO
09:24:20 HELP INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE FROM THAT REMOTE LEARNING,
09:24:24 LINKING THROUGH TELEHEALTH, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
09:24:27 CERTAIN THAT WE NOT ONLY WORK TO DEVELOP THE WHOLE CHILD
09:24:30 BUT CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THE WHOLE FAMILY.
09:24:31 WE'VE BEEN TRANSPARENT THROUGH THE PROCESS, DATA
09:24:37 DASHBOARD OF COVID CASES THAT IDENTIFIES NOT ONLY THE
09:24:40 NUMBER OF CASES THAT WE'VE HAD INTERNALLY AS AN
09:24:43 ORGANIZATION BUT IT BREAKS DOWN BY DATE AND ALSO BY
09:24:46 INDIVIDUALIZED SCHOOL THAT ALLOWS OUR COMMUNITY TO
09:24:49 DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S AN EMPLOYEE OR A STUDENT AT THOSE
09:24:52 PARTICULAR SCHOOLS SO THEY CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION
09:24:55 ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY PUT THEIR CHILD OR SEND THEIR
09:24:58 CHILD EVERY SINGLE DAY.
09:24:59 THAT DATA DASHBOARD IS SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
09:25:03 UPDATES EVERY FOUR HOURS AND WE'RE WORKING ON DOING AND
09:25:06 CREATING WHERE WE HOPEFULLY HAVE IT BY THE WEEKEND OR
09:25:09 BEGINNING ON MONDAY TO DRILL DOWN TO HAVE IT MATCH
09:25:12 RELATED TO ZIP CODES SO WE CAN HAVE FURTHER INFORMATION
09:25:15 ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN A PARTICULAR AREA TO TRIAGE
09:25:19 AND LOOK AT SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES IN THE SCHOOL TO BETTER
09:25:24 ASSIST OUR RAPID RESPONSE TEAMS.
09:25:26 WE WILL CONTINUE -- OUR OVER-THAT YOU WILL THEME AND GOAL
09:25:30 IS MAKE SURE WE HAVE QUALITY EDUCATION IN EVERY ONE OF
09:25:33 THE SCHOOLS.
09:25:33 COMING INTO THE ORGANIZATION, WE WERE RANKED 40th -- WE
09:25:36 ARE RANKED 40th OUT OF 67 COUNTIES ACADEMICALLY, AND WE
09:25:40 HAVE GOT TO HAVE A CENTRALIZED FOCUS OF HOW WE'RE GOING
09:25:43 TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE GRADE-LEVEL EXPECTATIONS AND
09:25:46 GRADE-LEVEL CONTENT TO OUR CHILDREN EVERY SINGLE DAY TO
09:25:49 PUSH THEIR COGNITIVE DEMANDS AND ALLOW THEM COMPETE NOT
09:25:53 ONLY WITHIN THE FOUR WALLS OF THE CLASSROOM BUT ALSO IN
09:25:56 THE COMMUNITY AND THROUGHOUT THE NATION.
09:25:58 OUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO TRAIN AND HIRE
09:26:01 FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICKS RELATED TO TEACHERS AND EVOLVE
09:26:05 EVERY SINGLE DAY TO ALLOW OUR STUDENTS TO THINK, TO
09:26:12 SHARE, TO DEFEND, TO PROBLEM SOLVE, DECISION MAKE, REVIEW
09:26:16 ANALYTICS, TO BE ABLE TO SYNTHESIZE MULTIPLE MATERIALS IN
09:26:20 ORDER FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO BE PREPARED NOT ONLY TO MEET
09:26:23 GRADE LEVEL EXPECTATIONS BUT PREPARED TO MAKE CERTAIN WE
09:26:26 TRANSITION TO ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL THAT WILL
09:26:29 HELP THEM ON NATIONAL ASSESSMENTS.
09:26:31 BIG WEEK LAST WEEK AS WE TRANSITION BACK FROM ATHLETICS.
09:26:35 ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS IS HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE
09:26:37 TO OPEN THE DOORS FOR OUR FOOTBALL STADIUM AND OUR
09:26:40 REOPENING PLAN FOR ATHLETICS.
09:26:42 ONE THING WE DID, WE'RE PROBABLY AROUND 30 TO 33 PERCENT
09:26:46 AT CAPACITY.
09:26:46 WE HAVE ALLOWED EVERY PARTICIPANT WHO IS INVOLVED IN
09:26:49 THESE ACTIVITIES TO HAVE FOUR INDIVIDUALS, SPECTATORS AND
09:26:53 FAMILY MEMBERS TO COME TO SUPPORT THEM.
09:26:56 WE HAVE REMOVED ANY CASH FROM ANY OF OUR ATHLETIC EVENTS.
09:27:00 EVERYTHING IS ALL MOBILE PURCHASES.
09:27:06 WE'RE MAKING CERTAIN EVERY STADIUM AND FACILITY IS
09:27:08 OUTLINED AND IDENTIFIED FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING.
09:27:11 THOSE FOUR INDIVIDUALS OF THAT PARTICULAR FAMILY ARE
09:27:13 EXPECTED TO SIT IN PODS TO CREATE SOCIAL DISTANCING ALONG
09:27:16 THE WAY.
09:27:17 WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK EVERY SINGLE WEEK TO DETERMINE IF
09:27:22 WE CAN OPEN UP OUR CAPACITY.
09:27:24 RIGHT NOW WE'LL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS TO MAKE
09:27:27 CERTAIN WE HAVE A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT THAT WE CAN
09:27:28 CONTINUE TO HELP THE COMMUNITY WITH THE DOWNWARD SPIKE.
09:27:31 FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE LEVERAGING THE CARES GRANT.
09:27:35 WE'RE LEVERAGING THE ESSA GRANT TO BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE
09:27:41 TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO COMBAT COVID, TO CONTINUE TO FIND
09:27:43 WAYS TO CONNECT WITH OUR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS IN ORDER
09:27:46 TO BE SUCCESSFUL EVERY SINGLE DAY.
09:27:47 THE BIGGEST THING WE'RE DOING IS WE'VE GOT TO MAKE
09:27:50 CERTAIN WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR MENTAL HEALTH STRATEGY
09:27:53 AND BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS OUR TOP PRIORITY TO BE ABLE TO
09:27:58 HELP AND ASSIST OUR STAKEHOLDERS ADDRESS ANY ACADEMIC,
09:28:02 BEHAVIOR DIFFICULTIES AND DEVELOP INTERVENTIONS IN
09:28:07 MONITORING STUDENTS TO ALLOW THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
09:28:09 I COULD CONTINUE TO GO ON.
09:28:11 OVERALL, THERE WAS DEFINITELY A NEED, WHILE THERE WAS A
09:28:14 LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT DO WE OPEN?
09:28:17 DO WE NOT OPEN?
09:28:26 THIS DECISION WAS HEAVY ON THE BOARD ALONG WITH EVERY
09:28:29 SUPERINTENDENT THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND NATION.
09:28:31 NO MATTER WHAT DECISION WE MADE, IT WAS 50-50, WHETHER
09:28:34 RETURNING TO SCHOOLS, WEARING MASKS, WHETHER HAVING
09:28:37 GRADUATIONS.
09:28:38 IT BECAME VERY COMPLEX AND VERY DIFFICULT.
09:28:40 HOWEVER, THE BEST THING WE'VE DONE IS CREATED CHOICE AND
09:28:43 BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS AND DO IT IN A POSITIVE,
09:28:46 EFFECTIVE, AND EFFICIENT MANNER.
09:28:47 WILL WE GET BETTER?
09:28:47 THE ANSWER IS YES.
09:28:48 DO WE HAVE A WAYS TO GO?
09:28:58 THE ANSWER IS YES.
09:28:58 BEING ABLE TO CONNECT WITH OUR CHILDREN, ALLOW THEM TO
09:28:59 HAVE THAT SOCIALIZATION, THAT INTERACTION, AND PROVIDE
09:29:00 INTERVENTIONS WITH SUPPORT THAT WILL ALLOW US TO BE
09:29:02 SUCCESSFUL AND HOPEFULLY ADDRESS THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP
09:29:05 MOVING FORWARD.
09:29:06 I'LL LEAVE THIS TIME FOR EACH OF YOU TO ASK ANY
09:29:09 QUESTIONS, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.
09:29:11 ONCE AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CIVIC LEADERSHIP AND
09:29:13 WHAT YOU DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
09:29:15 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
09:29:17 ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN?
09:29:19 ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE QUESTIONS?
09:29:21 COUNCILMAN GUDES, GET AHOLD, SIR.
09:29:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SUPERINTENDENT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
09:29:26 LEADERSHIP.
09:29:27 I REALLY LIKE THAT YOU GET OUT AND GO LOOK AND SEE WHAT'S
09:29:30 GOING ON AND NOT BEHIND A DESK.
09:29:33 THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO RUNNING AN ORGANIZATION.
09:29:35 READING IN THE PAPER, YOU HAVE SOME BUDGET ISSUES, AND
09:29:39 REALLY MAKING CUTS MAYBE WITH STAFF AND TEACHERS.
09:29:43 MY CONCERN -- YOU CALL THEM TRANSFORMATION SCHOOLS ARE IN
09:29:52 MY DISTRICT.
09:29:53 DOWN SIZE TEACHERS, POSSIBLY, MAYBE THE CLASS SIZES WILL
09:29:56 GROW.
09:29:57 IS THERE A PLAN IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE WE KIND OF KEEP
09:30:00 THOSE CLASS SIZES DOWN?
09:30:03 ME BEING A COVID SURVIVOR, I'M VERY SHY AT THIS
09:30:06 PARTICULAR POINT ABOUT NUMBERS.
09:30:08 I'M WONDERING, WITH THAT BEING SAID, IS THERE A PLAN IN
09:30:11 PLACE WHERE YOU PROBABLY MAKE YOUR CUTS AND IF SO, ARE
09:30:14 THE CLASS SIZES POSSIBLE GROW AND HOW WE HANDLE THAT.
09:30:18 I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.
09:30:20 I DO APPRECIATE THE WORK ON THE INTERNET SITUATION
09:30:23 BECAUSE A LOT OF AREAS IN MY ZONE DO NOT HAVE INTERNET
09:30:26 FOR MY KIDS.
09:30:27 IF YOU CAN EXPOUND ON THAT, I APPRECIATE THAT SIR.
09:30:30 THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.
09:30:31 >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN GUDES.
09:30:33 YOU ARE SPOT ON.
09:30:34 AS YOU KNOW, COMING IN, WE ARE $32 MILLION IN DEFICIT
09:30:37 RELATED TO RESERVES.
09:30:39 THIS WAS IMPERATIVE FINANCIALLY.
09:30:41 WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CREATE ORGANIZATIONAL
09:30:43 CONTROLS.
09:30:44 AS WE HAVE 21,000 STUDENTS TRANSITION TO CHARTER SCHOOL
09:30:49 IN THE 19-20 SCHOOL YEAR AND WHEN STUDENTS TRANSITION TO
09:30:55 CHARTER, WHICH IS THE PARENT'S RIGHT, THE ORGANIZATION
09:30:57 NEVER LOOKED TO RIGHT SIZE OUR SCHOOLS OR THE DISTRICT
09:31:01 LEVEL RELATED TO POSITIONS.
09:31:03 WHEN STUDENTS LEAVE OUR BRICK AND MORTAR SCHOOLS, WHETHER
09:31:09 HOMESCHOOL, PRIVATE SCHOOL, WHETHER A CHARTER SCHOOL, THE
09:31:11 DISTRICT MANAGED SCHOOL DO NOT GET THE FUNDING FOR THAT
09:31:15 PARTICULAR STUDENT.
09:31:16 THEREFORE, WE'VE GOT TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE ARE
09:31:19 RIGHT-SIZING OUR SCHOOLS.
09:31:20 THAT MEANS IF A SCHOOL HAS 100 STUDENTS, WE'VE GOT TO
09:31:24 MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE GIVE THAT SCHOOL FINANCES AND
09:31:27 SUPPORT FOR THE 100 STUDENTS THAT THEY GENERATE.
09:31:30 NOW, THERE'S DEFINITELY OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE WILL LOOK
09:31:38 AT RELATED TO ADDING ADDITIONAL POSITIONS OR -- BECAUSE
09:31:40 WE HAVE SCHOOLS, AS YOU SAID, THAT ARE UNDERPERFORMING,
09:31:42 THAT MAY NEED SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT POSITIONS.
09:31:44 WHETHER THAT BE A READING INTERVENTIONIST, WHETHER THAT
09:31:47 BE A MATH INTERVENTIONIST, WHETHER THAT BE A BEHAVIOR
09:31:50 INTERVENTIONIST, A COORDINATOR, WHETHER THAT BE A
09:31:53 DISTRICT RESOURCE TEACHER, YOU NAME IT, IT'S ALL
09:31:56 CONTINGENT ON THAT INDIVIDUALIZED SCHOOL'S NEED.
09:31:59 WE WILL ALSO LOOK AT CLASS SIZE.
09:32:01 AS YOU SPOKE ABOUT CLASS SIZE, WE ARE STATUTORILY
09:32:04 REQUIRED TO REMAIN IN CLASS SIZE.
09:32:06 WE WILL ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THAT EVERY CLASSROOM, EVERY
09:32:08 SCHOOL REMAINS IN THE CLASS SIZE IDENTIFIED BY THE
09:32:11 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
09:32:12 K-3 AVERAGES AT 18, 4 THROUGH 8 AVERAGE IS 22.
09:32:19 AND 9 THROUGH 12 AVERAGE IS 25.
09:32:21 WE WILL MAKE CERTAIN THAT ALL ALLOCATIONS ARE PROTECTED
09:32:24 SO WE CAN HAVE THE CLASSROOMS AS SMALL AS WE CAN IN ORDER
09:32:28 TO CONTINUE TO EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN IN AN EFFICIENT
09:32:31 FASHION.
09:32:31 THE OTHER WAY IS PROGRAMMATIC.
09:32:33 WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OUR SCHOOLS THAT HAVE BEAUTIFUL
09:32:35 PATHWAYS SUCH AS IB, HVAC PROGRAMS, CULINARY PROGRAMS.
09:32:42 YOU NAME IT, WE'LL CONTINUE TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF
09:32:45 THOSE PROGRAMS.
09:32:45 THE ISSUES BECOME IS THAT WE HAVE GOT TO MAKE CERTAIN
09:32:49 THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT THEY GENERATE.
09:32:52 RIGHT NOW, OF THE 200 SCHOOLS WE HAVE, THERE ARE ONLY 15
09:32:57 SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT OVER -- THAT ARE NOT OVER
09:33:01 $1.5 MILLION EACH RELATED TO OVER-ALLOCATED IN STAFF.
09:33:05 THAT'S NOT ONLY AT THE SCHOOL-BASED LEVEL, THAT'S AT THE
09:33:08 DISTRICT-BASED LEVEL AS WELL.
09:33:10 AS I CAME IN, I CUT $7.5 MILLION IN THE FIRST 45 DAYS IN
09:33:16 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND THEN WE GOT INTO THE PANDEMIC.
09:33:18 WE STILL HAVE RIGHT-SIZING TO DO AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.
09:33:21 BUT OPENLY, I'M GOING TO PROTECT TRANSFORMATION OF
09:33:24 SCHOOL.
09:33:25 WE HAVE THE MOST D AND F SCHOOLS IN ANY SCHOOL DISTRICT
09:33:29 IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
09:33:30 SO MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE TO TAKE THE 28 SCHOOLS, PROVIDE
09:33:33 THEM WITH THE RESOURCES THEY NEED AND MAKE CERTAIN THAT
09:33:36 WE ELEVATE THE EXPERIENCES IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE ANY
09:33:40 STIGMAS, AND AREAS RELATE -- BARRIERS RELATED TO THE
09:33:45 INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS SO OUR TRANSFORMATIONAL SCHOOLS AND
09:33:47 EVERY SCHOOL CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE A APPROACH -- WE HAVE
09:33:52 TO MAKE HARD DECISIONS OVERALL.
09:33:54 AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE SPENDING FOUR TO SIX MILLION DOLLARS A
09:33:58 MONTH ON PPE WHILE WE HAVE SOME FEDERAL MONEY TO DO THAT,
09:34:03 IT'S NOT GOING TO COVER ALL OF THE EXPENSES BECAUSE WE
09:34:07 HAD TO ADDRESS CURRICULUM FOR REMOTE LEARNING, ALSO BEING
09:34:12 ABLE TO ADDRESS PROVIDING WIFI UNITS TO STUDENTS AND
09:34:15 LAPTOPS. PURCHASED 46,000 LAPTOPS, WHEN CAME IN, 28,000
09:34:20 LAPTOPS FOR 220,000 KIDS AND THAT WASN'T GOING TO ALLOW
09:34:25 TO US ADDRESS THE DIGITAL DIVIDE. WE TALKED ABOUT 13,000
09:34:29 STUDENTS THAT WE ARE DOWN CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW.
09:34:32 13,000 STUDENTS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DOWN RIGHT NOW,
09:34:35 THAT'S EQUIVALENT TO $56 MILLION.
09:34:37 NOT ONLY ARE WE HAVING TO DEAL WITH $32 MILLION DEFICIT,
09:34:42 FOUR TO SIX MILLION EXPENDITURES RELATED TO COVID THAT WE
09:34:46 COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE TO GIVE BACK TO STATE OF FLORIDA
09:34:49 $56 MILLION.
09:34:50 WE'VE GOT TO GET TO A POINT WHERE WE ARE BACK IN LINE
09:34:53 WITH OUR EXPENDITURES AND WE ARE LOOKING AT EVERY DOLLAR
09:34:56 AND EVERY CENT TO BE RELIABLE ORGANIZATION.
09:34:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
09:35:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:35:04 ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS?
09:35:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, SUPERINTENDENT, FOR BEING HERE
09:35:10 TODAY.
09:35:11 I WAS AT A CONVERSATION LAST SATURDAY AND THE TOPIC THAT
09:35:16 THE PARENTS WERE SPEAKING ABOUT WAS THE TESTING OF
09:35:19 CHILDREN AT THE START OF THIS SCHOOL SESSION AFTER A
09:35:23 SIX-MONTH LAYOFF.
09:35:26 WAS THIS ACTUAL TESTING OR WAS IT AN EVALUATION?
09:35:30 AND SHOULD THE PARENTS BE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN
09:35:36 BEING HELD BACK IN D AND F SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF THIS EARLY
09:35:41 EVALUATION AFTER SIX MONTHS OF NO SCHOOL?
09:35:51 >> GOOD QUESTION.
09:35:52 CHILDREN HAVEN'T BEEN IN SCHOOL SINCE MARCH.
09:35:54 OUR CHILDREN CHANGE EVERY SINGLE DAY INTELLECTUALLY,
09:35:58 SOCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY.
09:35:59 ONE THING WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT
09:36:02 OF EDUCATION IS HAVE A PROGRESS MONITORING PLAN.
09:36:05 IN THAT MONITORING PLAN, WE'VE GOT TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT
09:36:08 WE HAVE A BASELINE IN MIDYEAR AND END OF YEAR ASSESSMENT
09:36:13 TO SHOW WHAT WE'RE DOING TO INFORM OUR INSTRUCTION.
09:36:16 IT IS A NECESSITY, WHEN OUR CHILDREN COME BACK AND
09:36:19 HAVEN'T BEEN BACK SINCE MARCH, HAVE BASELINE ASSESSMENT
09:36:23 TO DETERMINE WHERE THEY ARE, MATH PERSPECTIVE,
09:36:26 INTELLECTUALLY FROM A LITERACY PERSPECTIVE.
09:36:28 AND THAT INFORMATION IS GOING TO ALLOW TO US SCAFFOLD AND
09:36:32 DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT OUR
09:36:34 STUDENTS KNOW A CORE CONCEPT.
09:36:37 CAN WE SELECTIVELY ABANDON THAT CORE CONCEPT?
09:36:39 DO WE NEED TO RETEACH A CORE CONCEPT?
09:36:42 DO WE GO BACK AND TEACH CURRICULUM THEY MISSED IN THE
09:36:46 FOURTH NINE WEEKS OR DO WE WANT -- DID OUR PARENTS AND IT
09:36:52 CHILDREN PUNCH THEIR TIMECARD IN DURING THE TIME THEY
09:36:54 WERE OUT DURING THE SUMMER TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THAT
09:36:56 LEARNING PROCESS?
09:36:57 WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS THAT THERE IS A DIVIDE.
09:37:00 AND THAT INFORMATION IS WHY IT IS A BASELINE ASSESSMENT.
09:37:04 IT'S ONLY BEING USED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE
09:37:07 INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS.
09:37:09 NO LONGER ARE WE EVER SITTING THERE GOING -- TEACHERS
09:37:13 DIDN'T COVER MATERIAL FOR CORE CONCEPT AND WE HOPE
09:37:16 CHILDREN GET IT.
09:37:17 WE ARE INTRODUCING THE CONCEPT AND THEN WE'RE CREATING
09:37:20 SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTIONAL STATIONS THAT WE ROTATE
09:37:23 CHILDREN AND GROUP CHILDREN BASED ON THEIR READINESS
09:37:27 LEVELS AND BASED ON THEIR NEED TO BUILD THE STRATEGIES
09:37:30 AND TO BUILD THE SKILLS TO ALLOW THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL
09:37:33 FROM A STANDARD PERSPECTIVE.
09:37:34 PARENTS SHOULD BE EMBRACING OUR BASELINE ASSESSMENT.
09:37:38 THAT'S GOING TO GIVE THEM IMMEDIATE INFORMATION WHERE
09:37:40 THEIR CHILDREN ARE.
09:37:42 WAS THERE TRUE SUMMER LEARNING LOSS.
09:37:45 WAS THERE LEARNING LOSS TRANSITIONING FROM MARCH OR ARE
09:37:50 OUR CHILDREN CONTINUING TO PROGRESS SO WE CAN INFORM THE
09:37:53 INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS?
09:37:54 I THINK IT IS A GOOD THING.
09:37:56 INFORMATION IS BEING USED TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT A
09:37:59 CHILD IS BEING PLACED BACK INTO ANOTHER GRADE.
09:38:01 I'M TELLING YOU -- THERE'S NO RESEARCH THAT SAYS
09:38:06 RETENTION IS A POSITIVE STRATEGY.
09:38:10 HOWEVER, THERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY.
09:38:12 WHEN STUDENTS DON'T GIVE BEST EFFORT AND THERE ARE NEEDS
09:38:15 WE NEED TO ADDRESS THROUGH INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT, IT'S
09:38:18 OUR JOB TO DO IT.
09:38:20 ALSO OUR JOB TO HAVE CRUCIAL AND CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR
09:38:24 PARENTS AND LEARNERS TO LET THEM KNOW WHERE THEY ARE
09:38:27 INTELLECTUALLY AND ACADEMICALLY SO WE CAN BUILD
09:38:30 INDIVIDUAL PLANS TO ALLOW THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
09:38:33 EVERY ONE OF THE BASELINE ASSESSMENTS IS A WAY FOR US TO
09:38:37 DETERMINE WHERE OUR LEARNERS ARE AND HOW CAN WE BETTER
09:38:40 HELP THEM ALONG THE WAY AS THEY TRANSITION.
09:38:42 THIS IS NOTHING NEW.
09:38:44 WE'VE HAD BASELINE ASSESSMENTS IN THIS DISTRICT PRIOR TO
09:38:48 ME.
09:38:48 THE ONLY ISSUE THAT MAY CREATE NOISE AND OPENLY IT IS A
09:38:52 GOOD QUESTION, THOSE WHO ARE IN THE REMOTE LEARNING
09:38:56 E-LEARNING PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE TRYING TO PROCTOR AND WHEN
09:38:59 YOU HAVE 22 KIDS IN THE E-LEARNING CLASS, REMOTE LEARNING
09:39:03 CLASS AND PUTTING THEM ON THE ZOOM, IT'S VERY HARD TO
09:39:06 PROCTOR 22 KIDS TO MAKE CERTAIN THEY ARE FOLLOWING, AND
09:39:10 THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE PROTOCOLS RELATED TO ASSESSMENT.
09:39:13 SO WE'RE HAVING TO DO IT IN A SMALLER FASHION TO MAKE IT
09:39:18 MORE MANAGEABLE TO BE ABLE TO PROCTOR STUDENTS AND THAT
09:39:23 MAY HAVE SOMEWHAT EXTENDED THE WINDOW.
09:39:25 OPENLY, WE'RE GETTING BETTER EVERY SINGLE DAY AND WE'LL
09:39:29 GET BETTER AS WE TRANSITION THROUGH THE PROCESS.
09:39:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MR. SUPERINTENDENT FOR YOUR
09:39:34 ANSWERS.
09:39:34 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
09:39:35 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
09:39:36 ANYBODY ELSE?
09:39:38 >>LUIS VIERA: VIERA, IF I MAY.
09:39:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
09:39:41 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
09:39:43 JUST VERY, VERY BRIEF.
09:39:44 THANK YOU SIR FOR COMING ON.
09:39:45 I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR
09:39:48 YOUR VERY HARD WORK.
09:39:49 THERE HAVE BEEN -- YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT ELECTED BODIES
09:39:52 LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT DECISIONS THAT OTHER ELECTED BODIES
09:39:56 HAVE TO MAKE, AND YOU THINK TO YOURSELF, THOSE ARE REALLY
09:39:58 TOUGH DECISIONS.
09:39:59 I TELL PEOPLE THAT A LOT OF THE VOTES THAT ELECTED
09:40:02 OFFICIALS TAKE, THEY ARE NOT BLACK AND WHITE.
09:40:06 IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S NOT 100% RIGHT AND ZERO PERCENT
09:40:09 WRONG.
09:40:10 A LOT OF THEM ARE GRAY.
09:40:11 AND WHERE WISE MEN AND WOMEN HAVE GOT TO MAKE BALANCING
09:40:14 DECISIONS IN TERMS OF SEEING WHAT THE GREATER GOOD IS.
09:40:17 THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT AGREE WITH WHAT THE SCHOOL
09:40:20 BOARD HAS DONE.
09:40:21 THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DISAGREE WITH WHAT THE
09:40:23 SCHOOL BOARD HAS DONE.
09:40:24 BUT I HOPE THAT EVERYBODY APPRECIATES THOSE TOUGH
09:40:27 DECISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE.
09:40:28 VERY, VERY DIFFICULT DECISION BY A LOT OF MEN AND WOMEN.
09:40:33 ADDITIONALLY, I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN MENTIONED, JUST HOW WE
09:40:36 HAVE TO CONSISTENTLY SALUTE.
09:40:38 WE TALK ABOUT OUR FRONTLINE WORKERS IN COVID.
09:40:41 WE CAN'T FORGET OUR TEACHERS, OUR ADMINISTRATORS, OUR
09:40:45 CUSTODIANS, THE STAFF PEOPLE AT SCHOOLS.
09:40:48 YOU KNOW, THAT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT.
09:40:50 THESE ARE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE GOING OUT RIGHT NOW AND
09:40:53 LITERALLY PUTTING THEMSELVES POTENTIALLY AT RISK TO
09:40:56 VARYING DEGREES FOR COVID-19.
09:41:00 ALL OF US AS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS SHOULD TO THE EXTENT
09:41:05 THAT IT'S NOT DONE, ORGANIZE APPRECIATION DAYS FOR SOME
09:41:08 OF OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS IN OUR DISTRICTS, THE STAFF,
09:41:11 TEACHERS, ET CETERA.
09:41:13 BUT BEFORE COVID-19, I THINK IT'S A GENERAL FACT IN
09:41:17 FLORIDA AND MUCH OF THE UNITED STATES, OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL
09:41:20 PROFESSIONALS AND STAFF JUST AREN'T GIVEN THE MONETARY
09:41:23 SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED, JUST THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.
09:41:26 DOESN'T MATTER WHO IS IN CHARGE.
09:41:28 JUST A FACT THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITH PUBLIC
09:41:31 SCHOOLS.
09:41:31 YOU ADD COVID TO IT, OUR HATS OFF TO BE TO APPRECIATE TO
09:41:36 THAT. I WANT TO AGAIN SALUTE THE HARDWORKING
09:41:40 CONSIDERATION THAT GOES INTO MAKING SOME OF THESE CHOICES
09:41:43 WHERE A BALANCING ACT HAS GOT TO BE MADE.
09:41:45 IT'S NEVER EASY.
09:41:47 SOME OF THOSE CHOICES I'VE SEEN, AND THEY ARE VERY
09:41:50 DIFFICULT TO MAKE.
09:41:51 I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,
09:41:54 SIR.
09:41:54 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
09:42:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:42:04 IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME?
09:42:06 HEARING NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SUPERINTENDENT.
09:42:08 NEXT UP, WE HAVE F.D.O.T.
09:42:10 >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
09:42:10 GOOD MORNING, CHAIR.
09:42:16 THIS IS VIK BHIDE, DIRECTOR OF MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.
09:42:21 EARLIER ON JUNE 25th OF THIS YEAR, COUNCIL MADE A
09:42:25 MOTION TO INVITE F.D.O.T. TO PRESENT VARIOUS PROJECTS
09:42:29 THAT THEY HAVE GOING ON WITHIN OUR CITY, AND THEY HAVE
09:42:35 MANY PROJECTS, AND WE HAVE A VERY GOOD PARTNERSHIP WITH
09:42:38 F.D.O.T.
09:42:41 THEY NOT ONLY INVEST SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE MAJOR ARTERIALS
09:42:44 AND THE STATE ROADS WITHIN OUR CITY BUT ALSO AUGMENT OUR
09:42:50 CAPITAL DOLLARS TO MAKE PROJECTS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO OUR
09:42:53 STRATEGY FOR BIKE-PED RESILIENCE AND EQUITY WITHIN THE
09:43:00 CITY POSSIBLE AS WELL.
09:43:01 WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE ALEX WITH
09:43:08 F.D.O.T. TO PRESENT ON A COUPLE OF THESE PROJECTS ALONG
09:43:12 KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
09:43:13 ALEX?
09:43:17 >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, VIK, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH, CITY
09:43:20 COUNCIL, FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME THIS
09:43:22 MORNING AND SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOU.
09:43:24 MY NAME IS ALEX HENRY.
09:43:25 I AM THE BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN COORDINATOR FOR DISTRICT 7.
09:43:29 THIS MORNING, WE ARE GOING TO BE SHARING INFORMATION
09:43:32 REGARDING A COUPLE OF CORRIDOR PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE
09:43:35 UPCOMING ON THE KENNEDY BOULEVARD CORRIDOR, WHICH WE
09:43:38 UNDERSTAND IS A VERY IMPORTANT CORRIDOR FOR THE CITY OF
09:43:41 TAMPA.
09:43:42 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:43:43 AS I MENTIONED, THERE ARE TWO PROJECTS THAT WE CURRENTLY
09:43:54 HAVE PROGRAMMED AND UPCOMING ALONG KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
09:43:57 THE FIRST OF WHICH, WHICH YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP THERE IN
09:44:00 KIND OF THE PURPLE COLOR, GOES FROM WESTSHORE BOULEVARD
09:44:03 TO THE WEST TO WOODLAND AVENUE TO THE EAST, WHICH FOR
09:44:06 REFERENCE IS JUST WEST OF MacDILL AVENUE IS THE
09:44:10 CLOSEST MAJOR SIDE STREET.
09:44:12 THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY IN DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION IS
09:44:16 ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN THE PROCESS IN MAY OF 2021.
09:44:20 WE'LL GET INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL WHAT THE SCOPE OF
09:44:22 THAT PROJECT LOOKS LIKE.
09:44:24 ESSENTIALLY, WE ARE MAKING ACCESS MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS
09:44:27 TO IMPROVE SAFETY ALONG THE CORRIDOR AS WELL AS LOOKING
09:44:30 AT A LOT OF DIFFERENT BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN
09:44:32 IMPROVEMENTS.
09:44:32 THE SECOND PROJECT WE HAVE IS A LITTLE FURTHER OUT.
09:44:38 WE'RE JUST GETTING INTO THE PROCESS OF STARTING THE
09:44:40 DESIGN.
09:44:41 CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN 2023.
09:44:44 AS PART OF THE PROJECT WE'RE LOOKING AT A LOT OF
09:44:46 DIFFERENT TYPES OF IMPROVEMENTS.
09:44:48 RESURFACING THE ROADWAY, MAKING BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN
09:44:50 IMPROVEMENTS AND ALSO IMPROVING THE DRAINAGE WHICH WE'LL
09:44:53 GET INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL IN A FUTURE SLIDE.
09:44:55 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:44:56 TO START OFF, I WANT TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF
09:45:03 HISTORICAL CONTEXT AS TO HOW THIS PROJECT CAME ABOUT.
09:45:06 WE'LL SPEND MUCH OF THE PRESENTATION TALKING ABOUT THAT
09:45:08 FIRST PROJECT FROM WESTSHORE TO WOODLAND AVENUE SINCE
09:45:11 WE'RE A LITTLE FURTHER ALONG AND WE HAVE SOME MORE
09:45:14 DETAILS TO SHARE WITH YOU.
09:45:15 A FEW YEARS BACK, OUR SAFETY OFFICE NOTICED THAT THERE
09:45:19 WAS A REALLY HIGH CONCENTRATION OF CRASHES ALONG THIS
09:45:22 SECTION OF KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
09:45:25 AS A RESULT, THEY COMMISSIONED A SAFETY STUDY TO KIND OF
09:45:28 LOOK INTO IT, DIG INTO THE CRASH REPORT, SEE WHY THESE
09:45:31 CRASHES ARE HAPPENING AND TO TRY TO IDENTIFY
09:45:35 COUNTERMEASURES THAT WE COULD EMPLOY TO REDUCE THE
09:45:38 CRASHES.
09:45:38 WHAT THEY FOUND IS THAT WE HAVE A REALLY HIGH
09:45:41 CONCENTRATION OF CRASHES AT A LOT OF OUR MINOR,
09:45:44 UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS ALONG THE CORRIDOR.
09:45:47 IF YOU'VE EVER DRIVEN IN THIS AREA AND TRIED TO EITHER GO
09:45:52 STRAIGHT OR TURN LEFT ONTO KENNEDY DURING RUSH HOUR, I
09:45:56 THINK IT'S PRETTY EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY.
09:45:59 KENNEDY BOULEVARD IS A VERY HIGH-VOLUME ROADWAY
09:46:02 THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY AND IT'S HARD TO GET A GAP IN
09:46:06 BOTH DIRECTIONS TO ALLOW YOU TO MAKE THAT LEFT MANEUVER
09:46:10 ONTO KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
09:46:12 AS A RESULT, A LOT OF PEOPLE GET IMPATIENT.
09:46:13 THEY MAYBE MISJUDGE THEIR GAPS.
09:46:16 AS A RESULT, WE SEE A LOT OF T-BONE TYPE CRASHES AT SOME
09:46:20 OF THESE UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS, WHICH IS A CRASH
09:46:22 TYPE THAT WE REALLY TRY TO FOCUS IN ON REDUCING BECAUSE
09:46:26 THEY ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO RESULT IN A FATALITY OR A
09:46:29 SERIOUS INJURY.
09:46:31 WHEN YOU SEE A LOT OF THESE CRASH TYPES AT THESE
09:46:34 UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS, A REALLY EFFECTIVE STRATEGY
09:46:37 THAT YOU CAN IMPLEMENT TO HELP REDUCE THOSE CRASHES IS
09:46:39 IMPLEMENTING ACCESS MANAGEMENT TYPE IMPROVEMENTS.
09:46:42 WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ACCESS MANAGEMENT IN THIS CASE, WHAT
09:46:45 WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT DOING IS INTRODUCING SOME TYPE
09:46:48 OF MEDIAN CHANNELIZATION TO RESTRICT THE NUMBER OF
09:46:53 TURNING MOVEMENTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE AT THE INTERSECTION
09:46:56 AND IN TURN REDUCE THE CONFLICT POINTS AT THE GIVEN
09:47:01 INTERSECTION.
09:47:02 GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE FEWER CONFLICT POINTS AN
09:47:05 INTERSECTION HAS, THE FEWER CRASHES THAT YOU SEE.
09:47:08 SO WE TOOK A LOOK AT TEN INTERSECTIONS ALONG THIS
09:47:12 CORRIDOR, AGAIN, FROM WESTSHORE TO WOODLAND AVENUE, THAT
09:47:14 KIND OF LOOKED LIKE THE GRAPHIC THAT YOU SEE IN THE TOP
09:47:19 RIGHT OF YOUR SCREEN.
09:47:20 THERE'S CURRENTLY NO MEDIAN CHANNELIZATION, DRIVERS ON
09:47:23 THE SIDE STREET ARE ABLE TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH KENNEDY
09:47:25 BOULEVARD.
09:47:26 ABLE TO TURN LEFT.
09:47:27 YOU'RE ABLE TO TURN LEFT OFF OF KENNEDY ONTO THE SIDE
09:47:30 STREETS.
09:47:31 THERE'S REALLY NO RESTRICTION.
09:47:32 YOU CAN KIND OF TURN ANYWHERE, AND, AS A RESULT, AS YOU
09:47:34 CAN SEE, THERE ARE A LOT OF CONFLICT POINTS.
09:47:38 SO WHAT WE'RE DOING, AT THREE OF THE LOCATIONS, WE'RE
09:47:41 INSTALLING WHAT WE CALL A DIRECTIONAL MEDIAN OPEN, WHICH
09:47:45 YOU CAN SEE AN EXAMPLE OF IN THE GRAPHIC ON THE BOTTOM
09:47:47 THERE, WHICH ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THAT CASE,
09:47:50 WE'RE MAINTAINING THE ABILITY FOR DRIVERS ON KENNEDY TO
09:47:53 TURN LEFT ONTO THE SIDE STREET, BUT WE ARE TAKING AWAY
09:47:56 THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE ON THE SIDE STREET TO GO
09:47:59 STRAIGHT AND TO TURN LEFT ONTO KENNEDY, WHICH, AGAIN,
09:48:02 REDUCES THE CONFLICT POINTS AND MAKES IT MUCH SAFER.
09:48:05 AT SEVEN OF THE OTHER INTERSECTIONS WE ARE IMPLEMENTING
09:48:08 WHAT WE CALL A FULL MEDIAN ENCLOSURE, WHICH IS
09:48:11 ESSENTIALLY WE ARE INSTALLING A FULL MEDIAN WHICH
09:48:14 COMPLETELY RESTRICTS THE ABILITY TO NOT JUST TURN LEFT
09:48:17 OFF OF THE SIDE STREET BUT ALSO TO TURN LEFT OFF OF
09:48:20 KENNEDY ONTO THE SIDE STREET.
09:48:22 SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF CONFLICT POINTS.
09:48:24 SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING THE POTENTIAL FOR THOSE T-BONE
09:48:28 CRASHES THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT AND MAKING IT MUCH
09:48:30 SAFER FOR ALL ROAD USERS.
09:48:31 IN ADDITION TO THE MEDIAN MODIFICATIONS, WE ARE ALSO
09:48:35 EXTENDING THE TURN LANES AT 21 LOCATIONS.
09:48:38 THERE ARE SEVERAL LOCATIONS ALONG THE CORRIDOR WHERE THE
09:48:41 EXISTING LENGTH TO THE TURN LANES DO NOT MEET OUR
09:48:44 STANDARDS AND THAT CAN INTRODUCE SOME OPERATIONAL ISSUES
09:48:47 AND ALSO SOME SAFETY ISSUES WITH TRAFFIC BACKING UP
09:48:50 THROUGH THE TURN LANES INTO THE THRU LANES AND CAUSING
09:48:54 REAR END CRASHES AND SIDESWIPE CRASHES THAT WE'RE HOPING
09:48:57 THAT THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL HELP MITIGATE.
09:49:01 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:49:02 IN ADDITION TO THE ACCESS MANAGEMENT CHANGES, THE
09:49:06 DEPARTMENT RECOGNIZES THAT KENNEDY BOULEVARD IS AN URBAN
09:49:09 CORRIDOR.
09:49:10 THERE'S A LOT OF TRANSIT SERVICE.
09:49:13 A LOT OF BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY THAT WE REALLY
09:49:15 WANTED TO DO EVERYTHING WE COULD AS PART OF THE PROJECT
09:49:17 TO ALSO ADDRESS THE SAFETY AND COMFORT OF BICYCLISTS AND
09:49:22 PEDESTRIANS ALONG THE CORRIDOR.
09:49:23 WE'RE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SIDEWALKS, WIDENING THEM
09:49:26 TO -- AS WIDE AS 8 FEET WHERE WE CAN WITHIN THE EXISTING
09:49:31 RIGHT-OF-WAY, AND ALSO MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE SIDEWALKS
09:49:34 IN THE CORRIDOR ARE COMPLIANT WITH AMERICANS WITH
09:49:36 DISABILITY ACT'S REQUIREMENTS.
09:49:39 MAKING SURE THERE AREN'T OBSTRUCTIONS ON THE SIDEWALK
09:49:41 THAT FOLKS IN WHEELCHAIRS, MOBILITY DEVICES CAN'T
09:49:44 NAVIGATE AROUND.
09:49:46 MAKING SURE CURB RAMPS ARE COMPLIANT AND THAT ALL OF OUR
09:49:48 SLOPES ARE MEETING STANDARD AND ARE EASY TO NAVIGATE FOR
09:49:52 PEOPLE OF ANY DISABILITY STATUS.
09:49:55 WE'RE ALSO FOCUSED ON THE CROSSING.
09:49:58 SO MAKING KENNEDY BOULEVARD EASIER AND SAFER TO CROSS FOR
09:50:02 PEDESTRIANS.
09:50:02 AT ALL OF THE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS ALONG THE
09:50:05 CORRIDOR, WE LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE THE
09:50:08 INTERSECTION GEOMETRY, WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS WE LOOKED
09:50:12 AT KIND OF THE CORNER RADII AND LOOKED FOR OPPORTUNITIES
09:50:15 TO KIND OF TIGHTEN THOSE UP, TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF
09:50:19 DISTANCE THAT PEDESTRIANS NEED TO CROSS WHEN CROSSING THE
09:50:22 STREET AND ALSO KIND OF ENCOURAGING DRIVERS TO TAKE THE
09:50:27 TURNS A LITTLE SLOWER AND IMPROVE SOME BETTER YIELDING
09:50:30 BEHAVIOR AT THOSE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS.
09:50:33 IN COORDINATION WITH TECO AND THE CITY OF TAMPA, WE'RE
09:50:36 ALSO GOING TO BE OPERATING THE EXISTING LIGHTING AT ALL
09:50:39 OF THE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS TO LED.
09:50:42 AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON THAT GRAPHIC AT THE BOTTOM THERE,
09:50:45 IT KIND OF SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR TRADITIONAL
09:50:48 HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM LIGHTING WHICH IS OUT THERE TODAY
09:50:52 AND LED LIGHTING.
09:50:53 AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LED LIGHTING IS MUCH BRIGHTER AND
09:50:56 ALSO STAYS BRIGHTER MUCH LONGER THAN OUR TRADITIONAL
09:50:59 LIGHTING WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING
09:51:01 THAT WE HAVE A DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF OUR BICYCLE AND
09:51:04 OUR PEDESTRIAN CRASHES OCCURRING DURING NIGHTTIME HOURS.
09:51:08 THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.
09:51:11 IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ARE ALSO ADDING A NEW PEDESTRIAN
09:51:14 CROSSING INTO -- AT THE INTERSECTION OF KENNEDY AND
09:51:19 HENDERSON.
09:51:20 CURRENTLY, THERE IS A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THERE, BUT THERE IS
09:51:23 NO PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK OR OPPORTUNITY FOR PEDESTRIANS TO
09:51:27 CROSS THE STREET, SO WE'RE INSTALLING PUSH BUTTONS AND
09:51:30 PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS AND PROVIDING THAT OPPORTUNITY AS PART
09:51:33 OF THIS PROJECT.
09:51:34 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:51:35 COLLABORATION WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS BEEN A HUGE PART
09:51:41 OF THE PROJECT.
09:51:42 IT HAS BEEN A VERY ITERATIVE DESIGN PROCESS.
09:51:45 AGAIN, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CORRIDOR IS VERY IMPORTANT
09:51:48 TO THE CITY FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
09:51:50 THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN PROCESS, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING HAND
09:51:53 IN HAND WITH CITY OF TAMPA'S STAFF, MAKING SURE THEY ARE
09:51:57 AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING, GIVING THEM OPPORTUNITY TO
09:51:59 REVIEW OUR TIME PLANS AND VOICE ANY COMMENTS OR CONCERNS
09:52:03 THAT MIGHT COME UP.
09:52:05 THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT WHERE CITY
09:52:07 OF TAMPA STAFF HAS BROUGHT THINGS TO OUR ATTENTION, AND
09:52:09 WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO KIND OF AUGMENT OUR DESIGN TO
09:52:12 INCORPORATE SOME OF THOSE REQUESTS.
09:52:15 SOME OF THOSE EXAMPLES ARE WIDER SIDEWALKS.
09:52:18 WHEN THIS PROJECT WAS ORIGINALLY SCOPED, I THINK WE WERE
09:52:21 PROPOSING TO ONLY WIDEN TO SIX-FEET SIDEWALK.
09:52:25 HOWEVER, THE CITY CAME BACK TO US.
09:52:27 THEY MENTIONED THAT GIVEN THE LEVEL OF MULTIMODAL
09:52:30 ACTIVITY THEY WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING WIDER
09:52:33 WHERE WE CAN, SO WE'RE ABLE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING
09:52:36 BOARD AND IDENTIFY SOME ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE
09:52:38 WERE ABLE TO SQUEEZE IN SOME ADDITIONAL SIDEWALK WIDTH
09:52:41 WITHIN THE EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY.
09:52:44 SPEED MANAGEMENT IS ALSO SOMETHING WE HAD A LOT OF
09:52:46 CONVERSATIONS ABOUT AND RESULTING FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH
09:52:48 THE CITY, WE WERE ABLE TO CONDUCT A SPEED STUDY ALONG
09:52:52 THIS STRETCH AND HAVE DETERMINED THAT WE CAN REDUCE THE
09:52:55 SPEED LIMIT FROM 45 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR.
09:52:59 LANDSCAPING HAS ALSO BEEN ANOTHER KEY AREA OF
09:53:03 COORDINATION.
09:53:04 ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE CONSEQUENCES OF SOME OF THOSE TURN
09:53:07 LANE EXTENSIONS THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER IS THAT BY
09:53:11 EXTENDING THE TURN LANES, IT WOULD REQUIRE US TO REMOVE
09:53:14 SOME OF THE EXISTING LANDSCAPING THAT IS OUT ON THE
09:53:16 CORRIDOR.
09:53:17 SO WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA PARKS AND
09:53:21 LANDSCAPING DEPARTMENTS TO KIND OF LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES
09:53:25 TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING IMPACTS THAT WE
09:53:28 WOULD NEED TO MAKE, LOOKING TO PRESERVE THE IRRIGATION
09:53:31 SYSTEMS THAT THE CITY ALREADY HAS IN PLACE IN THE MEDIANS
09:53:35 TO HELP SAVE THAT COST TO THE CITY, AND COME UP WITH A
09:53:40 GOOD SOLUTION.
09:53:41 WE'RE ABLE TO MAINTAIN AS MUCH OF THAT GREAT LANDSCAPING
09:53:43 AS WE CAN WHILE STILL PROVIDING THE SAFETY BENEFIT WE
09:53:46 NEED TO MAKE BY EXTENDING THE TURN LANES.
09:53:48 THE OTHER THING THAT I'LL MENTION IS THE CITY KIND OF
09:53:51 ENCOURAGED US TO LOOK FOR ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO
09:53:55 INTRODUCE NEW PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS AS PART OF THIS
09:53:58 PROJECT.
09:53:59 AS A RESULT OF THAT CONVERSATION, WE HAVE BEEN EVALUATING
09:54:01 A NEW PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AT GRADY AVENUE, WHICH IS
09:54:06 BETWEEN WESTSHORE AND DALE MABRY.
09:54:08 WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING THAT RIGHT NOW.
09:54:10 IT'S LOOKING PRETTY GOOD THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO
09:54:13 INCORPORATE IT WITHIN THIS PROJECT.
09:54:15 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:54:16 THE LAST THING I WANTED TO TOUCH ON WITH THE PROJECT IS
09:54:20 AN OVERVIEW OF THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THAT WE'VE DONE.
09:54:24 LATER THIS YEAR, WE'LL BE HOSTING A VIRTUAL PUBLIC
09:54:26 HEARING DUE TO SOME OF THE MEDIAN ACCESS CHANGES I
09:54:29 MENTIONED EARLIER.
09:54:30 SO IT WILL BE PUBLICLY NOTIFIED AND ALL OF OUR
09:54:33 STAKEHOLDERS AND ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS ADJACENT TO
09:54:36 THE CORRIDOR WILL BE NOTIFIED.
09:54:38 IT WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYBODY TO COME AND VIEW
09:54:41 THE CONCEPT WE'RE PROPOSING, LEARN MORE ABOUT THE
09:54:43 PROJECT, ASK QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK AS PART OF
09:54:47 THAT.
09:54:47 WE'RE WORKING ON SCHEDULING THAT NOW, BUT IT WILL
09:54:51 DEFINITELY BE OCCURRING BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
09:54:53 IN COORDINATION WITH THAT, WE'LL ALSO BE SENDING OUT
09:54:56 NOTICES TO ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS THAT MIGHT BE
09:54:58 IMPACTED BY SOME OF THE MEDIAN CHANGES THAT WE'RE TALKING
09:55:01 ABOUT.
09:55:02 FROM THERE, WE HAVE A PROCESS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE
09:55:04 FEEDBACK AND VOICE CONCERNS AND WE WORK WITH THEM TO KIND
09:55:07 OF MITIGATE SOME OF THAT AS APPROPRIATE.
09:55:10 WE'VE ALSO MADE A SERIES OF PRESENTATIONS TO VARIOUS
09:55:15 STAKEHOLDER GROUPS ALONG THE CORRIDOR.
09:55:17 WE PRESENTED TO ALL OF THE HILLSBOROUGH MPO ADVISORY
09:55:21 COMMITTEES AND ALSO TO THE WESTSHORE ALLIANCE'S ADVISORY
09:55:24 COMMITTEE.
09:55:25 THE LAST THING I'LL MENTION -- AND THIS IS EXCITING -- WE
09:55:28 HAVE REPORTED A PUBLIC INFORMATION VIDEO WHICH WE JUST
09:55:31 RELEASED ON OUR YouTube PAGE YESTERDAY AND WILL BE
09:55:34 PROMOTING THE SOCIAL MEDIA AND COORDINATING WITH THE
09:55:37 WESTSHORE ALLIANCE AND THE CITY STAFF TO GET IT OUT TO
09:55:41 LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS.
09:55:42 BUT WE PUT TOGETHER THIS REALLY NEED COUPLE-MINUTE VIDEO
09:55:45 THAT KIND OF JUST GIVES A VERY GOOD OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE
09:55:49 PROJECT IS WHAT THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE THAT WE'RE MAKING,
09:55:52 WHAT THE TIME FRAME IS, AND HOW THEY CAN GET IN CONTACT
09:55:55 WITH US IF THEY WANT TO LEARN MORE OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
09:55:59 OR CONCERNS.
09:56:00 WE FEEL THAT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TOOL TO KIND OF BROADEN
09:56:04 OUR PUBLIC OUTREACH AND BETTER INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT
09:56:09 SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE COMING ALONG THE
09:56:12 CORRIDOR.
09:56:13 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
09:56:15 SO AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE TWO PROJECTS ALONG KENNEDY
09:56:19 BOULEVARD, THE SECOND OF WHICH TAKES OFF WHERE THE
09:56:21 PROJECT I'VE BEEN SPEAKING ABOUT LEFT OFF AND CONTINUES
09:56:26 ON TO BREVARD AVENUE, WHICH FOR REFERENCE IS JUST WEST OF
09:56:29 WHERE KENNEDY SPLITS OFF INTO GRAND CENTRAL, RIGHT IN
09:56:32 THAT UT AREA.
09:56:35 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN?
09:56:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
09:56:38 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BEFORE HE GOES ON TO THE NEXT SEGMENT,
09:56:42 COULD I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE PRIOR SEGMENT BEFORE WE
09:56:45 GET TOO FAR?
09:56:47 >> SURE.
09:56:47 I JUST HAVE ONE QUICK SLIDE ON THIS AND THEN WE'LL BE
09:56:50 DONE WITH THE PRESENTATION.
09:56:51 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
09:56:52 I THOUGHT YOU HAD A WHOLE OTHER PRESENTATION.
09:56:55 SORRY.
09:56:55 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
09:56:57 >> JUST REAL QUICK, ON THE SECOND PROJECT, AS I
09:57:00 MENTIONED, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ALONG, A LITTLE
09:57:03 BIT FURTHER BEHIND SO WE DON'T HAVE AS MANY DETAILS TO
09:57:07 SHARE AT THE MOMENT.
09:57:08 HOWEVER, JUST A HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'LL BE
09:57:11 INCLUDING AS PART OF THE PROJECT.
09:57:12 AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS A RESURFACING PROJECT, SO WE WILL
09:57:15 BE REPAVING AND RESTRIPING THE ENTIRETY OF THE ROADWAY
09:57:18 FROM WOODLAND TO BREVARD.
09:57:20 AS PART OF THE PROJECT, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT INSTALLING
09:57:23 THREE NEW TRAFFIC SIGNALS ALONG THE CORRIDOR AS WELL AS
09:57:26 EVALUATING TWO NEW PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS.
09:57:28 SO REALLY TRYING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEDESTRIAN
09:57:31 CROSSINGS THAT WE HAVE ON THIS STRETCH OF THE CORRIDOR.
09:57:36 AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING TO WIDEN THE SIDEWALKS TO AS WIDE AS
09:57:40 TEN FEET WITHIN THE EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY AND ALSO
09:57:42 LOOKING AT A LOT -- THE SAME TYPES OF INTERSECTION SAFETY
09:57:45 IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE DISCUSSED ON THE PREVIOUS PROJECT.
09:57:48 IN ADDITION TO THAT, THIS IS AN AREA WHERE WE DO GET A
09:57:51 LOT OF DRAINAGE COMPLAINTS SO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT
09:57:53 OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE THE DRAINAGE WHERE WE CAN WHILE
09:57:56 WE'RE OUT THERE WITH THIS PROJECT.
09:57:59 THE LAST THING, JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'RE
09:58:02 LOOKING AT WITH THE PROJECT SCHEDULE, RIGHT NOW, WE JUST
09:58:05 BROUGHT THE DESIGN CONSULTANT ON BOARD.
09:58:07 WE'LL BEGIN THE DESIGN PROCESS EARLY 2021 AND THE PROJECT
09:58:11 WILL BE LETTING IN EARLY 2023.
09:58:15 WE'LL SEE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES START SOON AFTER THAT.
09:58:19 ONE THING I WILL SAY ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS I WAS ACTUALLY
09:58:22 ON THE CONTRACT COLLECTION COMMITTEE WHEN WE WERE
09:58:25 BRINGING IN THE DESIGNER THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH.
09:58:28 AND AS THE DESIGN FIRMS WERE COMING IN AND MEETING WITH
09:58:31 US TO ASK US WHAT WE SEE AS REALLY BEING IMPORTANT AS
09:58:35 PART OF THIS JOB, THE ONE THING WE TOLD EVERYBODY WAS
09:58:38 THAT COORDINATION WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA IS GOING TO BE
09:58:40 ABSOLUTELY PARAMOUNT AS PART OF THIS.
09:58:42 WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM AND THAT
09:58:44 WILL BE A BIG FOCUS.
09:58:46 I WOULD DEFINITELY ANTICIPATE THAT THE SAME SPIRIT OF
09:58:48 COLLABORATION THAT WE MENTIONED IN THE FIRST PROJECT WILL
09:58:52 CONTINUE WITH THIS.
09:58:53 WE'LL HAVE A REALLY GREAT PROJECT AND PRODUCT THAT BOTH
09:58:56 THE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY WILL BE VERY PROUD OF.
09:58:59 NEXT SLIDE.
09:59:00 AS I MENTIONED, THAT IS ALL WE HAD PREPARED IN REGARDS TO
09:59:05 THESE TWO PROJECTS ON KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
09:59:08 I ALSO HAVE KARA VAN ETTEN, WHO IS THE DESIGN PROJECT
09:59:13 MANAGER, FOR THE FIRST PROJECT THAT WE TALKED A LITTLE
09:59:16 BIT MORE IN-DEPTH ABOUT, WHO IS MUCH BETTER QUALIFIED
09:59:18 THAN ME TO ANSWER MAYBE SOME OF THE MORE TECHNICAL DESIGN
09:59:22 RELATED QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
09:59:23 AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT,
09:59:25 AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY
09:59:28 HAVE.
09:59:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:59:29 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
09:59:32 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, AND THANK
09:59:35 YOU, MR. HENRY, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
09:59:38 I THINK THESE UPDATES FROM THE D.O.T. TO COUNCIL AND THE
09:59:42 COMMUNITY ARE VERY HELPFUL.
09:59:47 JUST A COUPLE OF DETAILED QUESTIONS, IN REGARD TO THE
09:59:50 MEDIAN CLOSURES, THE CITY DID SOME OF THAT ALONG HIMES,
09:59:53 AND IT KIND OF CAUSED A BIG STIR AFTER THE FACT.
10:00:00 I'M SURE MR. BHIDE CAN CONFIRM THAT.
10:00:07 YOU SAID YOU WERE REACHING OUT TO THE WESTSHORE ALLIANCE
10:00:10 AND DOWN THE ROAD REACHING OUT TO NEIGHBORHOOD
10:00:11 ASSOCIATIONS.
10:00:13 THERE'S SOME VERY, VERY ACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS,
10:00:16 INCLUDING BEACH PARK AND SWANN ESTATES AND ARMORY
10:00:20 GARDENS, ET CETERA, ALONG THERE.
10:00:23 I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU REACH OUT TO THEM EARLY AND
10:00:26 OFTEN.
10:00:28 IN REGARD TO THOSE CLOSURES, I CAN SEE WHAT YOU'RE
10:00:34 SAYING.
10:00:34 WE'LL LOSE SOME MEDIAN LANDSCAPING WHEN YOU'RE EXTENDING
10:00:38 THE LANES, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE COULD GAIN SOME
10:00:41 MEDIAN LANDSCAPING WHEN YOU'RE ACTUALLY MAKING THOSE
10:00:44 SEVEN CLOSURES.
10:00:45 IS THAT PART OF THE --
10:00:51 >> THIS IS KARA VAN ETTEN.
10:00:55 CURRENTLY, THE LEFT-TURN LANES ALONG KENNEDY BOULEVARD
10:00:59 ARE -- (INDISCERNIBLE) -- STORAGE LANE.
10:01:04 WHEN WE EXTEND THE LEFT-TURN LANE TO MEET THE
10:01:12 DEPARTMENT'S STANDARDS, WE'LL BE REDUCING SOME OF THE
10:01:15 MEDIAN LANDSCAPING.
10:01:16 THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SEVEN LOCATIONS THAT WE
10:01:20 ARE DOING FULL MEDIAN CLOSURES TO PROVIDE LANDSCAPING,
10:01:24 BUT WE DID -- THE OVERALL LENGTH OF LANDSCAPING WILL BE
10:01:30 SLIGHTLY REDUCED BECAUSE WE ARE OPERATING THE LEFT-TURN
10:01:33 LANES TO MEET DEPARTMENT STANDARDS.
10:01:37 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HEAR YOU, AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT
10:01:40 YOU'RE SAYING.
10:01:41 IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A TRADE-OFF WHERE
10:01:43 WE'RE LOSING MEDIAN LANDSCAPING IN ONE AREA, WE SHOULD
10:01:49 GAIN IT IN THE OTHERS.
10:01:52 READY TO PUT THAT IN OR IS THAT SOMETHING THE CITY HAS TO
10:01:55 PUT IN?
10:01:56 >> SO THE MEDIAN LANDSCAPING ITSELF, WE ARE GOING TO BE
10:01:58 REMOVING IT WITH THE PROJECT AND PROVIDING SOD IN THE
10:02:03 MEDIANS.
10:02:05 THE CITY CAN COORDINATE WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE
10:02:09 FUTURE LANDSCAPING PROJECTS ALONG THE CORRIDOR.
10:02:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IS IT GOING TO BE IRRIGATED AS PART OF
10:02:16 THE CONSTRUCTION?
10:02:18 >> WE ARE PRESERVING SOME OF THE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS WITH
10:02:23 OUR CURRENT PROJECTS.
10:02:25 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'M REFERRING TO THE SEVEN CLOSURES.
10:02:32 >> WE DON'T INSTALL IRRIGATION SYSTEMS WITH THE CURRENT
10:02:36 PROJECT BUT WITH THE FUTURE LANDSCAPING PROJECT
10:02:39 IRRIGATION.
10:02:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. BHIDE IS LISTENING AND WE'LL HAVE
10:02:43 TO ADDRESS THIS DOWN THE ROAD, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO GET
10:02:47 INVOLVED IN THAT.
10:02:48 WHEREVER THE CLOSURES ARE, LET'S PUT IN IRRIGATION AND
10:02:51 PUT IN LANDSCAPING.
10:02:52 OKAY.
10:02:52 MY NEXT QUESTION IS RELATED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTS.
10:02:55 WHEN YOU CLOSE SOME OF THOSE LANES, I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE
10:02:59 PROBABLY DONE SOME MODELING IN TERMS OF WHERE THAT
10:03:02 TRAFFIC IS GOING TO GO, IS IT ALL GOING TO COME FLUSHING
10:03:07 OUT AND MAKE THE LOWEST CROSSING AND THE MANHATTAN
10:03:10 CROSSING AND SOME OF THE OTHER MAJOR CROSSINGS THAT MUCH
10:03:16 BUSIER AND SLOW PEOPLE DOWN AT THE MAJOR INTERSECTIONS?
10:03:22 >> BETWEEN LOIS AND WESTSHORE, THERE WILL BE -- THERE
10:03:26 WILL STILL BE FOUR INTERMEDIATE MEDIAN OPENINGS.
10:03:30 SINCE KENNEDY IS A THREE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION, THEY
10:03:34 WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO U-TURN ONTO KENNEDY OR GO DOWN
10:03:41 ONE OF THE SIDE STREETS.
10:03:43 SO WE HAVE LOOKED AT THE TRAFFIC AT WESTSHORE AND LOIS,
10:03:51 EXTENDED THE TURN LANES TO ACCOMMODATE THE TRAFFIC.
10:03:54 BUT GIVEN THAT THERE ARE STILL INTERMEDIATE OPENINGS
10:03:58 ALONG THE CORRIDOR AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO U TURN, THEY
10:04:01 SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS BUSINESSES STILL.
10:04:04 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU'RE MAKING THIS PRESENTATION TO THE
10:04:07 MPO AT SOME POINT, ALEX?
10:04:10 >> CORRECT, YES.
10:04:13 PRIOR TO COVID, A FEW MONTHS BACK, WE DELIVERED THIS VERY
10:04:17 SIMILAR PRESENTATION TO ALL THE MPO ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
10:04:25 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NOT THE MPO ADVISORY.
10:04:27 I MEANT THE MPO ITSELF.
10:04:30 >> I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE THAT SCHEDULED BUT WE CAN
10:04:33 DEFINITELY COORDINATE WITH MPO STAFF.
10:04:35 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
10:04:37 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:04:39 >>BILL CARLSON: MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS IS CARLSON.
10:04:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CITRO AND THEN CARLSON.
10:04:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.
10:04:46 COUNCILMAN, DINGFELDER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING
10:04:49 UP HIMES AVENUE.
10:04:51 MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER HAS BEEN IN WEST TAMPA, AND WHEN
10:04:56 THE HIMES AVENUE MEDIANS WERE CHANGED, THERE WAS A PUBLIC
10:05:01 OUTCRY, BECAUSE WITH THE MEDIAN CHANGES, YOU HAVE THE
10:05:04 INABILITY TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN, BUT MY POINT TO THAT
10:05:08 IS, HAS THE FIRST RESPONDERS BEEN INFORMED ABOUT WHAT'S
10:05:13 GOING TO BE HAPPENING WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO MAKE A
10:05:17 LEFT-HAND TURN ON KENNEDY BOULEVARD?
10:05:20 AND IF SO, HOW ARE THEY FEELING ABOUT THAT?
10:05:23 THAT'S QUESTION NUMBER ONE.
10:05:24 QUESTION NUMBER TWO IS, I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE GOING TO
10:05:27 BE WIDENING THE SIDEWALKS.
10:05:29 HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN MAJOR COMPLAINTS FROM THE ADA
10:05:32 ABOUT UTILITY POLES BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THOSE
10:05:35 SIDEWALKS.
10:05:36 ARE YOU WORKING WITH THE UTILITIES TO MAYBE HAVE THOSE
10:05:40 POLES REMOVED AND/OR ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THOSE
10:05:43 SIDEWALKS WIDE ENOUGH WHERE THOSE UTILITY POLES WILL NO
10:05:47 LONGER BE AN ISSUE?
10:05:49 THANK YOU.
10:05:52 >> TO MY KNOWLEDGE, WE HAVEN'T YET REACHED OUT TO THE
10:05:55 FIRST RESPONDERS, BUT WE CERTAINLY CAN REACH OUT TO THEM
10:05:59 AND LET THEM KNOW EXACTLY WHICH CLOSURES ARE GOING TO
10:06:02 HAPPEN.
10:06:03 HOSTING A VIRTUAL PUBLIC HEARING, AS ALEX MENTIONED IN
10:06:06 HIS PRESENTATION, TO INVOLVE ALL OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS,
10:06:11 SO THEY'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IN ADDITION TO REACHING
10:06:14 OUT, ONCE THEY RECEIVE THE VIDEO TO LET US KNOW THEIR
10:06:18 CONCERNS, IF THEY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT SPECIFIC MEDIAN
10:06:21 OPENINGS AND POTENTIALLY WE WOULD POTENTIALLY KEEP THEM
10:06:27 OPEN.
10:06:28 WE DID THAT ON THE SOUTH DALE MABRY PROJECT.
10:06:30 WE HAD TO BE -- IN JANUARY, AND THERE WERE A COUPLE OF
10:06:34 OPENINGS THAT THE DEPARTMENT WAS ORIGINALLY CLOSING, BUT
10:06:37 THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAD VALID REASONS ON WHY THEY SHOULD
10:06:41 REMAIN OPEN AND WE WORKED WITH THEM AND ADDED TWO
10:06:44 ADDITIONAL OPENINGS.
10:06:46 WE WILL REACH OUT TO FIRST RESPONDERS AND TALK WITH THEM
10:06:48 ABOUT THAT.
10:06:49 AND THEN IN REGARD TO THE UTILITY POLES ALONG THE
10:06:55 CORRIDOR, WE AREN'T DOING ANY OVERHEAD UTILITY
10:06:58 RELOCATIONS AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.
10:07:03 WE ARE GOING TO WIDEN THE SIDEWALKS TO EIGHT FEET WHERE
10:07:05 THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IS FEASIBLE.
10:07:07 AND IF THERE ARE ANY PINCH POINTS, THEY WILL BE MADE
10:07:10 COMPLIANT -- ADA COMPLIANT SO THERE WON'T BE ANY
10:07:20 DEFICIENT WIDTHS ALONG THE CORRIDOR.
10:07:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:07:25 I'M SURE THE PEOPLE WITH THE ADA WILL BE VERY, VERY
10:07:27 HAPPY.
10:07:28 BUT I WOULD HOPE YOU WOULD GO TO THE FIRST RESPONDERS,
10:07:31 BECAUSE WITH YOUR PROJECTION HERE OF BEING ABLE TO CALM
10:07:36 CRASHES DURING RUSH HOUR, AT THE PEAK OF RUSH HOUR, IT
10:07:41 WOULD BE MUCH HARDER FOR AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE TO MAKE A
10:07:44 RIGHT-HAND TURN TO GO DOWN TO THE NEAREST U-TURN SECTION
10:07:48 JUST TO GET BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE.
10:07:50 I THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU DO REACH OUT TO THEM VERY
10:07:53 SOON.
10:07:53 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:07:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
10:07:57 UP NEXT, WE HAVE COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:07:59 GO AHEAD, SIR.
10:08:01 >>BILL CARLSON: I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW,
10:08:03 ANYBODY WHO IS WATCHING FOR THE FIRST TIME OR HASN'T
10:08:06 WATCHED IN A WHILE, THIS USED TO BE UNDER THE CRA AND THE
10:08:09 BRIEFINGS WERE LIMITED TO THE CRA AREA.
10:08:11 SO I WANT TO THANK D.O.T. FOR EXPANDING THE ROLE AND
10:08:16 COVERING AREAS LIKE SOUTH TAMPA THAT DON'T HAVE CRAs
10:08:19 AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING OTHER UPDATES FROM YOU ALL IN
10:08:22 THE FUTURE.
10:08:24 TRANSPORTATION IS THE TOP ISSUE THAT I GET QUESTIONS
10:08:28 ABOUT.
10:08:29 FLOODING IS PROBABLY THE SECOND ONE, AND THEY ARE BOTH
10:08:32 RELATED.
10:08:33 THANK YOU ALL FOR DOING THAT.
10:08:34 ALSO, THIS MORNING, WE HAD CHRIS VELA WHO RATTLED THROUGH
10:08:38 A WHOLE BUNCH OF GOOD SUGGESTIONS.
10:08:41 I HOPE YOU ALL WILL LISTEN TO THOSE AND TAKE THOSE
10:08:44 SERIOUSLY.
10:08:45 THANK YOU.
10:08:45 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:08:46 ARE THERE ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WISH TO SPEAK AT THIS
10:08:49 TIME?
10:08:49 I HEAR NONE.
10:08:52 WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON.
10:08:53 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.
10:08:55 WE APPRECIATE THE SPEAKERS THIS MORNING.
10:08:58 ALL RIGHT.
10:08:59 WE HAVE REQUESTS BY THE PUBLIC FOR RECONSIDERATION OF
10:09:02 LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.
10:09:07 WE DO NOT.
10:09:10 ALL RIGHT.
10:09:11 MOVING FORWARD WITH THE AGENDA, WE NOW GO TO ITEM NUMBER
10:09:15 2.
10:09:17 ITEM NUMBER 2.
10:09:23 >>JAN McLEAN: THIS IS JAN McLEAN WITH THE OFFICE OF THE
10:09:26 CITY ATTORNEY.
10:09:27 ITEM NUMBER 2 IS FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE REGARDING
10:09:32 OUR REVISIONS TO CHAPTER 14 SECTION 197 BOATING
10:09:36 RESTRICTED AREAS.
10:09:37 CARLA PRICE WITH THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT, WHO IS
10:09:44 ALSO ON THE PHONE, AND WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE
10:09:47 TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT MARINE PATROL ON THE PHONE AS
10:09:54 WELL.
10:09:55 WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO MOST OF THE COUNCIL
10:09:55 MEMBERS AND PROVIDED INFORMATION TO EVERYONE.
10:09:59 THIS HAS BEEN A LONG INITIATIVE TO BRING CONSISTENT
10:10:02 IMPLEMENTATION OF SPEED ZONES TO A MAJORITY OF THE RIVER
10:10:08 THAT GOES THROUGH TOWN.
10:10:10 AS WE INDICATED PREVIOUSLY IN OUR PRESENTATION TO EACH
10:10:13 ONE OF YOU, WE WORKED FOR ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YEARS
10:10:17 WITH THE FWC UP IN TALLAHASSEE.
10:10:22 THE MAJORITY OF THE ZONES START A LITTLE BIT ABOVE THE
10:10:28 COLUMBUS BRIDGE DRIVE AND GOES THROUGH DOWNTOWN.
10:10:35 SULING IS IT POSSIBLE TO BRING UP THE GRAPHIC I SENT TO
10:10:39 YOU AS WE SPEAK, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS COULD SEE IT?
10:10:44 THANK YOU.
10:10:52 WHAT YOU HAVE IS THE DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THE RIVER THAT
10:10:57 WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO REVISIONS TO THE SPEED ZONES.
10:11:06 TO THE SOUTH, AS YOU SEE, THERE ARE THREE OTHER AREAS
10:11:10 ALONG THE RIVER BRIDGES THAT WE HAVE TAKEN THE
10:11:13 OPPORTUNITY TO PROPOSE THE SPEED ZONES ALONG THOSE AREAS
10:11:19 AS WELL.
10:11:20 NOW, THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT THE STATUTE ONLY
10:11:23 PROVIDES FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO IMPLEMENT SPEED ZONES
10:11:27 UNDER CERTAIN CRITERIA.
10:11:30 AND WE RELIED ON OUR GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
10:11:35 FWC TO ACCOMPLISH ALMOST ALL OF THE RIVER AS I INDICATED.
10:11:42 WE HAVE ONE 900-FOOT GAP, WHICH WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
10:11:47 TO DEFINE CRITERIA THAT WE CAN INCLUDE IN THAT GAP, AS WE
10:11:51 HAVE INDICATED TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WE SPOKE TO.
10:11:57 STARTS AT RICK'S ON THE RIVER AND GOES A LITTLE BIT IN
10:11:59 FRONT OF THE --
10:12:00 THE REASON THAT THAT ISN'T INCLUDED IS THAT WE DO NOT
10:12:04 HAVE PUBLIC FACILITIES IN THAT AREA ON WHICH WE COULD
10:12:08 RELY TO INCLUDE.
10:12:11 THERE YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU NOW, IN THAT SLIDE, IS THE
10:12:15 GAP.
10:12:15 IT SAYS HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
10:12:17 THAT IS THE GAP TO WHICH I WAS REFERRING.
10:12:19 UPON APPROVAL OF THIS PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THIS CHAPTER,
10:12:25 THE FWC REQUIRES THAT WE PUBLISH TWICE ONCE A WEEK BEFORE
10:12:31 THE SECOND READING, AND IF THERE WERE ANY CHANGES MADE
10:12:35 TODAY, AND WE'RE HOPING THAT YOU WOULD ACCEPT WHAT WE
10:12:38 HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, THOSE CHANGES WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK
10:12:41 TO FWC FOR THEIR REVIEW AND ADDITIONAL TIME WOULD BE
10:12:45 ADDED TO BEING ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THESE REVISIONS.
10:12:50 AS I SAID, WE HAVE CARLA PRICE WITH PARKS AND REC WHO HAS
10:12:54 BEEN VERY INTEGRAL IN GETTING THIS ACCOMPLISHED AND AT
10:12:58 LEAST ONE, MAYBE TWO MEMBERS OF OUR TAMPA POLICE
10:13:00 DEPARTMENT MARINE PATROL ARE ON THE LINE AS WELL TO
10:13:04 ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
10:13:08 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:13:09 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:13:10 DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS?
10:13:12 COUNCILMAN GUDES.
10:13:18 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I BRIEFLY SPOKE WITH THE ADMINISTRATION
10:13:19 YESTERDAY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW A LOT
10:13:22 ABOUT BOATING, PER SE, AND I WAS ASKING ABOUT THE SPEED
10:13:26 WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IMPLEMENTING THE SPEED ZONES.
10:13:29 THEY GAVE AN EXAMPLE OF A WAKE AREA AND SO FORTH AND SO
10:13:31 ON.
10:13:32 I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH, AND I SEE SOME AREAS DO HAVE A
10:13:36 MILES PER HOUR.
10:13:37 I JUST WANT TO TALK TO THE TPD GUYS WHO ARE ON THE WATER
10:13:39 AND ASK SIGNAGE OR IS THERE REQUIRED CLASS FOR BOATERS?
10:13:44 I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
10:13:45 IF THEY CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR ME.
10:13:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHOEVER IS ON THE LINE IF YOU WANT TO
10:13:57 ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
10:13:58 >> THE MILES PER HOUR IS ZONED NO-WALK ZONE OR A
10:14:05 SLOW-DOWN MINIMUM WAKE ZONE.
10:14:07 THERE'S NO REAL MILES PER HOUR THAT CAN BE ASSOCIATED
10:14:10 WITH THOSE.
10:14:13 BOATING REQUIREMENTS, I THINK IF YOU ARE UNDERAGE,
10:14:16 THERE'S A FLORIDA BOATER SAFETY CLASS.
10:14:21 THERE'S A DATE OF AGE, BIRTH DATE OF AGE, WHERE YOU ARCH
10:14:30 DOWN FROM TAKING THAT.
10:14:31 BUT THE MILES PER HOUR THING SPECIFICALLY IS NOT SET.
10:14:39 EACH BOAT IS GOING TO IDLE AT A DIFFERENT SPEED DEPENDING
10:14:42 ON THE DRAFT, DEPENDING ON THE DRAFT, DEPENDING ON THE
10:14:43 MAKEUP OF THE HULL, DEPENDING ON THE MOTORS ATTACHED.
10:14:48 IDLE FASTER THAN OTHER, THAN ANOTHER BOAT.
10:14:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN GUDES?
10:15:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:15:06 I APPRECIATE THAT.
10:15:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL
10:15:09 MEMBERS AT THIS TIME?
10:15:10 >> MR. CHAIR, MR. GUDES BROUGHT UP AN ISSUE THAT I SHOULD
10:15:17 HAVE INCLUDED AS WELL ON ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED
10:15:20 REVISION A A AFTER SECOND READING, THIS WILL BE THE
10:15:26 APPLICATION PACKAGE THAT WE SUBMIT TO FWC WHERE WE ARE
10:15:29 APPLYING FOR THE ABILITY TO -- THESE ZONES.
10:15:36 SO THIS IS A PART OF THE MEETING TO GET THE APPROVAL SO
10:15:42 WE CAN INSTALL THE SIGNAGE.
10:15:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:15:45 SO WE READ THE ORDINANCE AND THEN WE GET ANOTHER MOTION
10:15:48 FOR THE RESOLUTION, CORRECT?
10:15:50 >> SET SECOND READING FOR OCTOBER 15th.
10:16:00 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN?
10:16:11 I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
10:16:12 MARTIN SHELBY.
10:16:15 I NOTICE ON THE AGENDA THAT YOU ARE -- THE STAFF IS
10:16:18 REQUESTING THAT THE REQUIRED NOTICE OF PUBLICATION BE
10:16:22 SUBSTITUTED.
10:16:23 IS THAT CORRECT?
10:16:23 >> I'M SORRY?
10:16:30 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT SAYS FOR ITEM NUMBER 2 THAT THE
10:16:32 MEMORANDUM FOR THE REVISED NOTICE OF PUBLICATION BE
10:16:35 SUBSTITUTED.
10:16:36 IS THAT CORRECT?
10:16:37 >> IF I'M UNDERSTANDING, CORRECT.
10:16:43 >> THE NOTICE INCLUDED, YES.
10:16:47 AT THE TIME AND DATE TO PUBLISH THE NOTICES IN THE PAPER,

10:35:30 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF WE COULD INQUIRE OF THE PUBLIC IF
10:35:34 THERE'S ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS
10:35:36 ITEM?
10:35:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MADAM CLERK, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY WHO
10:35:39 HAS REGISTERED TO SPEAK OR IS AT THE CONVENTION CENTER OR
10:35:43 HAS WRITTEN ANY -- SUBMITTED ANY WRITTEN DOCUMENT?
10:35:48 >>THE CLERK: NO, SIR, WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY
10:35:49 REGISTRATION TO SPEAK NOR WRITTEN COMMENT OR REGARD
10:35:52 RECORDING AND THERE IS NO ONE PRESENT AT THE TAMPA
10:35:54 CONVENTION CENTER.
10:35:55 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:35:57 HEARING THAT, WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER
10:35:59 WITH A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.

10:36:44 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
10:36:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SECOND.
10:36:46 DINGFELDER.
10:36:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
10:36:48 UNLESS THERE'S ANY OBJECTION?
10:36:50 I HEAR NONE.
10:36:51 THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.
10:36:53 MR. SHELBY, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE RESOLUTION.
10:36:57 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, COUNCIL.
10:36:58 YOU HAD RECEIVED A RESOLUTION THAT I HAD PREPARED AT YOUR
10:37:10 DIRECTION AND PROVIDED IT TO COUNCIL.
10:37:12 THE RESOLUTION FOR THE FILE HAS THE NAME OF COUNCILMAN
10:37:17 ORLANDO GUDES.
10:37:18 SO MY SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND YOU
10:37:22 ASK COUNCILMAN GUDES TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.
10:37:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN GUDES, DO YOU HAVE ANY
10:37:27 COMMENTS REGARDING THE APPOINTMENT TO THE AFFORDABLE
10:37:30 HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM?
10:37:34 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WELL, I MUST DECLINE AT THIS PARTICULAR
10:37:41 TIME.
10:37:46 VERY INTERESTED IN BEING A PART OF HOUSING.
10:37:48 I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER THIS RESOLUTION TO HIM, MR. CHAIR.
10:37:53 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AND DID YOU SAY DINGFELDER?
10:37:56 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR.
10:37:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, WOULD
10:37:59 YOU GRACIOUSLY ACCEPT THAT AND WE CAN HAVE THIS
10:38:04 RESOLUTION AND PUT YOUR NAME INSTEAD OF COUNCIL MEMBER
10:38:07 GUDES?
10:38:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WOULD BE HONORED TO SERVE.
10:38:10 THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN GUDES AND ALL COUNCIL.
10:38:14 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN?
10:38:18 BECAUSE THIS IS A TIME SENSITIVE MATTER, IT'S MY
10:38:21 UNDERSTANDING, I HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO EDIT THAT
10:38:26 RESOLUTION AND FORD IT TO THE CLERK SO SHE WILL HAVE IT
10:38:30 IN HER POSSESSION.
10:38:31 I WOULD ASK WHOEVER MAKES THE MOTION TO MOVE THE
10:38:33 SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION.
10:38:34 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
10:38:35 MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE THE SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION?
10:38:39 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE THE SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION AS
10:38:41 AMENDED.
10:38:41 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA WITH THE MOTION.
10:38:43 WHO IS THE SECOND?
10:38:44 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SECOND.
10:38:47 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN GUDES.
10:38:48 IS THERE ANY OBJECTION?
10:38:52 HEARING NONE, BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT --
10:38:56 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT INVOLVES STATE LAW BUT MUST HAVE A
10:39:00 ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS.
10:39:02 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LET'S GET A ROLL CALL VOTE.
10:39:03 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:39:06 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:39:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:39:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:39:13 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:39:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:39:20 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:39:21 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
10:39:22 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CONGRATULATIONS, COUNCIL MEMBER
10:39:25 DINGFELDER.
10:39:25 YOU HAVE NOW BEEN APPOINTED.
10:39:26 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
10:39:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:39:34 ITEM NUMBER 48.
10:39:35 WE HAVE STAFF REPORTS AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
10:39:37 BEFORE WE GO TO ITEM NUMBER 48, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER,
10:39:40 SINCE YOU HAD PULLED ITEM 43, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BEGIN
10:39:43 WITH THAT AND WE CAN GET THAT ONE OUT WAY?
10:39:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ITEM 43 IS A LIST OF TRANSPORTATION
10:39:55 PROJECTS THAT THE CITY IS SUBMITTING TO THE OVERSIGHT
10:40:01 COMMITTEE, UNDERSTOOD THE TRANSPORTATION BUDGET.
10:40:06 EVERY YEAR ACCORDING TO THE REFERENDUM, WE HAVE LAST
10:40:20 YEAR.
10:40:20 I ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS WITH MR. BHIDE WITHOUT
10:40:24 OBJECTION.
10:40:25 I BELIEVE WE DO IT BY CONSENT.
10:40:30 IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE PAY A LITTLE EXTRA
10:40:33 ATTENTION TO, AND ALSO MR. BHIDE AND I DISCUSSED THE
10:40:36 POSSIBILITY OF WORK SHOPPING THIS LIST, PROBABLY SOMETIME
10:40:39 IN THE SUMMER PRIOR TO THE ACTUAL TRANSMISSION OF IT.
10:40:44 SO THAT WAY, CAN HAVE SOME REAL INPUT ON THE LIST.
10:40:49 MY COMMENT ON IT, THEN I WILL ASK MR. BHIDE TO SPEAK TO
10:40:52 ANY OF THIS, IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SPREAD THE WEALTH
10:40:57 AROUND, IN OTHER WORDS, THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE
10:41:01 TOPICS LISTED THAT ARE GOING TO GET ALL THE
10:41:05 TRANSPORTATION MONEY AND ALL FOUR DISTRICTS IN THE CITY,
10:41:09 FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
10:41:11 SO MR. BHIDE, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD ON THAT?
10:41:15 >>VIK BHIDE: SURE.
10:41:16 GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:41:19 VIK BHIDE, DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT.
10:41:24 LIKE THE COUNCILMAN DID DISCUSS AND WE COMPLETELY AGREE
10:41:29 THAT THESE PROJECTS SHOULD BE WORKSHOPPED AND BROUGHT IN
10:41:32 FRONT OF THE COMMUNITY AND DISCUSSED.
10:41:36 OF COURSE, GIVEN WHERE WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, SOME OF
10:41:43 THOSE ACTIONS WERE NOT POSSIBLE.
10:41:46 BUT CONFIRMED IN FY 22, WHEN THE TAX IS APPROVED, WE WILL
10:41:58 WORKSHOP THIS WITH THE COMMUNITY BY OUR SEPTEMBER
10:42:03 30th DEADLINE.
10:42:15 WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO --
10:42:36 WE DO HAVE PROJECTS, OF COURSE, AS WE DEVELOP OUR GRANT,
10:42:40 WE WILL CONTINUE THAT.
10:42:45 THANK YOU.
10:42:45 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:42:47 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:42:49 ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER?
10:42:51 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT'S ALL I HAVE, IF NOBODY ELSE HAS
10:42:53 ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL MOVE ITEM NUMBER 43.
10:42:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
10:43:00 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
10:43:01 ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE.
10:43:02 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:43:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:43:12 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:43:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:43:14 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:43:17 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:43:18 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:43:20 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
10:43:22 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:43:26 NOW WE GO TO ITEM NUMBER 48 UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
10:43:33 ITEM NUMBER 48.
10:43:34 >>CATE WELLS: ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY.
10:43:40 ITEM NUMBER 48.
10:43:41 THIS IS A BONUS PROVISION AGREEMENT FOR YOUR
10:43:43 CONSIDERATION AS IT RELATES TO REZONING THAT WAS APPROVED
10:43:47 LAST WEEK UNDERSTOOD REZ 20-14 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED
10:43:51 AT 2705 NORTH BOULEVARD.
10:43:54 IF YOU WILL RECALL, THE REZONING ALLOWED FOR AN INCREASE
10:43:58 IN DENSITY BY ONE DWELLING UNIT.
10:44:00 SO THE BONUS PROVISION AGREEMENT REQUIRES A PAYMENT OF
10:44:05 27,556.20.
10:44:08 AND THAT AMOUNT WILL BE APPLIED TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
10:44:14 PROJECTS TR 101221 WHICH COVERS IMPROVEMENTS ON EAST
10:44:22 COLUMBUS DRIVE AND NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE TO 14th
10:44:25 STREET, AND THOSE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE THE
10:44:27 RECONFIGURATION OF THE EXISTING TWO-LANE UNDIVIDED LANE
10:44:31 AND OFF-STREET PARKING AISLE TO ONE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY.
10:44:35 I AM AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
10:44:37 THANK YOU.
10:44:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS.
10:44:40 WELLS?
10:44:41 ANY QUESTIONS?
10:44:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MOVE THE RESOLUTION 48.
10:44:45 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO MOVE BY MR. DINGFELDER.
10:44:49 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
10:44:51 ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE.
10:44:52 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:44:56 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:45:00 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:45:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:45:04 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:45:06 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:45:08 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:45:10 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
10:45:12 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:45:18 WE HAVE A MEMO FROM BRAD BAIRD.
10:45:21 I BELIEVE HE'S ON THE LINE IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.
10:45:23 A VERY LARGE AMOUNT.
10:45:24 MR. BAIRD?
10:45:25 >>BRAD BAIRD: YES.
10:45:26 GOOD MORNING, CHAIR.
10:45:27 GOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL.
10:45:28 BRAD BAIRD, ADMINISTRATOR OF INFRASTRUCTURE.
10:45:35 THIS IS A RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT PROPOSALS FROM TWO
10:45:39 CONTRACTORS FOR WATER, PIPELINE AND APPURTENANCES
10:45:43 CONSTRUCTION, AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
10:45:47 AND WE ALSO HAVE MR. GREG HART AS A PANELIST TO ANSWER
10:45:52 ANY QUESTIONS.
10:45:52 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
10:45:55 ANY QUESTIONS?
10:45:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, NOT SO MUCH A QUESTION
10:46:02 AS A COMMENT.
10:46:07 WE ALL REVIEW THESE VERY CAREFULLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE
10:46:11 WMBE, THE BBE AND OTHER PARTICIPATION.
10:46:18 IN LOOKING AT THIS ONE, THIS IS ACTUALLY TWO DIFFERENT
10:46:23 CONTRACTORS ON THE SAME AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS SORT OF
10:46:26 WEIRD.
10:46:26 BUT ANYWAY, THE SOUTHERN COMPANY, SOUTHERN UNDERGROUND
10:46:37 INDUSTRIES, 22%, FANTASTIC.
10:46:41 AND THEN DOING THE SAME EXACT TYPE OF WORK, JVS
10:46:47 CONTRACTING CAME IN AT 2% WMBE.
10:46:52 I HAD A LONG CONVERSATION WITHIN MR. BAIRD, AND MR. HART.
10:46:59 INSTEAD OF BELABORING THIS, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO,
10:47:03 BECAUSE I AM VERY, VERY DISSATISFIED WITH 2%.
10:47:07 THE JVS TOTAL 17%, TOTAL WMBE, BUT 2% IS --
10:47:17 I THINK WHEN WE WENT INTO THE PIPES PROGRAM, ALL OF
10:47:22 COUNCIL -- A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE
10:47:27 WMBE, ET CETERA.
10:47:32 [~AUDIO DISTORTION~] SO STAFF CAN COMMENT ON IT.
10:47:37 COUNCIL CAN COMMENT ON IT.
10:47:38 BUT ULTIMATELY, I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER THE JVS CONTRACT
10:47:45 FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS SO THEY MIGHT SHARPEN THEIR PENCIL
10:47:48 AND DO BETTER THAN THE 2%.
10:47:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WAS GOING TO PULL THIS ITEM BUT MR.
10:47:58 DINGFELDER BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH.
10:48:00 WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT, WE TALK ABOUT CONTRACTS.
10:48:04 I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING, IF WE ARE ASKING -- THAT LINE IN
10:48:14 THAT PROPOSAL SAYING SHALL OR MUST OR YOU WON'T BE
10:48:17 CONSIDERED FOR A CONTRACT.
10:48:20 I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING, WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT.
10:48:23 SO WHEN I SEE -- MR. HART, WITH MR. SHELBY TO DISCUSS THE
10:48:40 RFP PROCESS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE CERTAIN VERBIAGES THAT
10:48:44 ARE IN OUR CITY ORDINANCE, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO BE
10:48:49 WORRIED, AND WE KNOW WHERE WE STAND ON THIS ISSUE.
10:48:53 SO WE CAN LOOK AT SOME FUTURE LANGUAGE TO BRING BACK TO
10:48:59 COUNCIL.
10:49:00 I WON'T MAKE A MOTION TODAY.
10:49:01 I WANT TO MEET WITH THEM FIRST.
10:49:02 AND THEN COME BACK WITH SOMETHING FOR THIS COUNCIL FOR
10:49:06 THE RFP PROCESS.
10:49:08 I YIELD BACK, SIR.
10:49:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:49:10 ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
10:49:17 I HEAR NONE.
10:49:18 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: GO AHEAD AND THEN I WILL CHIME IN.
10:49:26 THIS IS ANDREA ZELMAN.
10:49:28 >>BRAD BAIRD: THANK YOU.
10:49:32 I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THIS IS A STANDARD BID PROCESS.
10:49:36 IT WAS NEITHER AN RFP NOR AN RFQ PROCESS.
10:49:40 NOW, THE FOLLOWING ITEM IS AN RFQ ITEM THAT WENT THROUGH
10:49:44 THE CPMA SELECTION PROCESS.
10:49:49 BUT THIS ITEM IS A STANDARD BID WHERE WE ARE AWARDING TO
10:49:55 THE TWO LOWEST RESPONSIBLE RESPONSIVE BIDS.
10:50:06 >>GREGORY HART: THIS IS GREGORY HEART, BUSINESS
10:50:09 OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY BUSINESS MANAGER.
10:50:14 IF I MIGHT ADD SOME INPUT TO MR. BAIRD'S COMMENTS AND THE
10:50:19 QUESTION BY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
10:50:21 JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW.
10:50:23 I WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THIS CONTRACT, 2333, THE
10:50:31 SUBCONTRACT GOALS SET FOR THE PROJECT WAS 16%.
10:50:36 16% IS BASED ON DISPARITY GUIDELINES, AVAILABILITY DATA,
10:50:41 ET CETERA.
10:50:42 IT IS NOT AN ARBITRARY TARGET SET.
10:50:46 SECONDLY, THE GOAL ACHIEVEMENT IS 20% OVERALL ON A 16%
10:50:54 SUBCONTRACT GOAL.
10:50:56 THAT MEANS THAT THE GOALS SET VERSUS THE GOAL ATTAINMENT
10:51:00 WAS 119% OF THE TARGET IN WMBE PARTICIPATION OVERALL.
10:51:09 THE BLACK BUSINESS ENTERPRISES WERE AWARDED 65% OF THE
10:51:15 PROJECT OF WMBE PARTICIPATION FOR THE CONTRACT.
10:51:19 THE CITY DECIDED TO PROVIDE TWO CONTRACTORS TO WORK IN
10:51:24 TANDEM ON THE PROJECT.
10:51:28 WE HAVE EXCEEDED THE GOAL IN WHICH 65% OF THE SUBCONTRACT
10:51:33 PARTICIPATION OVERALL WILL BE BLACK BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.
10:51:38 THE PROGRAM IS A W, HISPANIC, ASIAN ZONE, A NATIVE
10:51:46 AMERICAN ZONE.
10:51:49 AND WE ARE CELEBRATING THE OUTCOME OF THIS PROJECT.
10:51:54 AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD ALSO SEE THAT.
10:52:02 THE PARTICIPATION BY BBE IS CELEBRATORY, FANTASTIC.
10:52:08 I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT BIT OF INFORMATION.
10:52:10 THANK YOU.
10:52:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN?
10:52:14 BRIEF REBUTTAL.
10:52:16 MR. HART, MR. HART, JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION, OKAY?
10:52:26 TELL ME IF I AM READING IT WRONG.
10:52:28 JVS ITSELF IS SETTING UP A CONTRACT FOR 6.9 MILLION AND
10:52:35 THEY ONLY HAVE 3% BBE.
10:52:39 YES OR NO?
10:52:41 >>GREGORY HART: YES.
10:52:41 BUT THEY ACHIEVED THE GOAL WITH THE GOAL OF 17%.
10:52:46 IT'S A --
10:52:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HEARD YOU.
10:52:50 BUT HERE IS THE KEY.
10:52:51 SO NOW WE ARE GOING TO LUMP A SOUTHERN BY SOUTHERN
10:52:59 UNDERGROUND WITH A VERY POOR RESPONSE FROM JVS BUT IT IS
10:53:03 THE SAME AGENDA ITEM, AND PAT OURSELVES ON THE BACK.
10:53:06 OKAY?
10:53:07 WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I LOVE THESE GUYS.
10:53:09 I LOVE BRAD.
10:53:10 I LOVE MR. HART.
10:53:13 BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M SEEING.
10:53:15 AND IF I AM NOT -- I AM NOT LOOKING TO KILL THIS TODAY.
10:53:21 MY MOTION, AND IF YOU WANT TO ACCEPT IT, MR. CHAIRMAN, IS
10:53:23 TO ACCEPT THE BID OF SOUTHERN UNDERGROUND INDUSTRIES AND
10:53:30 TO DEFER JVS CONTRACTING FOR ONE MONTH AND BRING IT BACK.
10:53:42 I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM.
10:53:44 YOU HAVE LEGAL CONCERNS BEGUN ALL OF THIS.
10:53:45 I AM NOT REJECTING THE JVS CONTRACTING BY ANY MEANS.
10:53:50 I AM JUST DEFERRING IT, AND ALL SCRATCH OUR HEADS AND
10:53:53 LOOK AT THIS, AND COME BACK TO US IN 30 DAYS.
10:53:57 SO.
10:54:05 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY.
10:54:07 I WOULD ASK EITHER BRAD OR GREG TO ADDRESS THIS WHETHER
10:54:11 OR NOT THEY CAN BE SEPARATED AND WHETHER THAT DELAY WOULD
10:54:14 CREATE ANY ISSUES WITH REGARD TO THE PROJECT.
10:54:17 SO I THINK IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE KNOW THE ANSWER TO THOSE
10:54:20 QUESTIONS.
10:54:20 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, MARTIN SHELBY.
10:54:23 MAY I INTERRUPT FOR A MINUTE?
10:54:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
10:54:26 >>MARTIN SHELBY: A PURELY TECHNICAL AGENDA MANAGEMENT
10:54:31 STANDPOINT, THESE ITEMS ARE LINKED TOGETHER UNDERSTOOD
10:54:34 ONE RESOLUTION, UNDERSTOOD ONE ITEM NUMBER, ON THE
10:54:37 AGENDA.
10:54:38 SO A MOTION THAT WOULD BE IN ORDER WOULD BE TO DEFER THIS
10:54:41 RESOLUTION TO A FUTURE DATE, WHICH WOULD BY DEFINITION,
10:54:45 IT APPEARS, BOTH CONTRACTS, BOTH PROPOSALS.
10:54:49 I WANT TO BRING THAT TO YOU PURELY AS A LOGISTICAL
10:54:52 TECHNICAL STANDPOINT.
10:54:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DOESN'T KNOW WHY THEY WERE BOUND
10:54:55 TOGETHER TO START WITH.
10:54:56 THAT'S REALLY, REALLY UNUSUAL.
10:54:58 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT MAY BE A SUBJECT, SIR, IN AND OF
10:55:03 ITSELF.
10:55:03 THAT MAY BE A VALID SUBJECT.
10:55:05 AND I THINK YOU HAVE RAISED THAT.
10:55:06 >>BRAD BAIRD: THIS IS BRAD BAIRD AGAIN.
10:55:10 I WILL ADDRESS THAT SUBJECT AND THAT QUESTION.
10:55:15 THE REASON THAT TWO CONTRACTORS WERE TIED TOGETHER IS
10:55:19 BECAUSE OF THE WORKLOAD OUT THERE, THROUGHOUT OUR WATER
10:55:22 SERVICE AREA.
10:55:28 WE HAVE ENOUGH WORK, MORE THAN ENOUGH WORK, FOR BOTH OF
10:55:31 THESE CONTRACTORS TO ACCOMPLISH.
10:55:34 AS YOU SEE IN THE PRESS RELEASES THAT SCOM OUT EVERY DAY,
10:55:38 WE HAVE NO SHORTAGE OF WATER MAIN BREAKS AND ISSUES WITH
10:55:43 OUR AGING SYSTEM.
10:55:45 AND THESE ARE TWO REPAIR CONTRACTORS THAT WE HAVE HIGH
10:55:51 DEMAND FOR.
10:55:51 SO DELAYING THEM BY A MONTH WILL IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO
10:55:56 RESPOND.
10:55:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: COULD THEY HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO CITY
10:56:01 COUNCIL AS TWO SEPARATE AGENDA ITEMS, LIKE WE USUALLY DO?
10:56:04 >>BRAD BAIRD: NO.
10:56:07 IT WAS ONE BID.
10:56:08 AND WE PROCEEDED WITH THE AWARD FOR THE TOP TWO BASED ON
10:56:13 THE DEMANDS OF THE WORK.
10:56:14 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
10:56:24 I THINK THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SEPARATED.
10:56:26 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MY OLD POLICE OFFICER MIND JUST GOES
10:56:40 WITH THAT WMBE.
10:56:43 I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS WOULD HAVE RELATED TO OR IF THEY
10:56:49 ARE RELATED OR NOT.
10:56:51 A GAME IS BEING PLAYED AND I THINK WHAT I SEE HERE A GAME
10:56:54 BEING PLAYED.
10:56:55 I COULD BE WRONG, BUT I THINK FOR DISCUSSION LATER ON,
10:57:01 HOW IT'S CONNECTED TO THESE PRIME CONTRACTORS AND SO
10:57:04 FORTH, TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT PLAYING THAT KIND OF GAME.
10:57:07 SO FOR ME, I THINK PUT THIS ALL TOGETHER, I THINK THAT IS
10:57:11 WHAT'S HAPPENING.
10:57:12 SO I WOULD ASK THAT THIS BE DEFERRED, IF MR. DINGFELDER
10:57:17 MAKES THAT MOTION, I WILL SUPPORT IT.
10:57:19 >>BILL CARLSON: MR. CHAIR, THIS IS CARLSON.
10:57:24 THE COMMUNITY IS ASKING US AND HAS BEEN ASKING US OVER
10:57:27 AND OVER AGAIN, CONTRACTS THAT DON'T MEET THE WMBE
10:57:32 CRITERIA.
10:57:33 AND I THINK POSTPONING FOR 30 DAYS IS A FAIR COMPROMISE.
10:57:42 BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO -- WE HAVE DELAYED -- LISTENING TO
10:57:46 THE COMMUNITY FOR MONTHS ASKING FOR THESE NUMBERS TO BE
10:57:49 RAISED AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN.
10:57:50 SO I THINK POSTPONING IT IS FAIR.
10:57:53 THANK YOU.
10:57:53 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ABOUT WHAT ABOUT OCTOBER 15th?
10:57:58 I BELIEVE OCTOBER 15th.
10:57:59 IT'S NOT REALLY 30 DAYS BUT IT'S NOT SO FAR AWAY.
10:58:04 YOU CAN'T SEPARATE THEM.
10:58:05 IS THAT CORRECT?
10:58:06 IT WOULD HAVE TO BE BOTH CONTRACTS WOULD HAVE TO BE
10:58:08 CONTINUED?
10:58:11 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION,
10:58:12 MR. CHAIRMAN, BASED ON THE ADVICE OF COUNCIL, SHOULDN'T
10:58:16 BE SPLITTING IT UP BECAUSE ONE IS AN AGENDA ITEM AND ONE
10:58:19 IS A RESOLUTION.
10:58:20 BUT I THINK SOUTHERN UNDERGROUND DID A REALLY GOOD JOB.
10:58:24 I AM GOING TO MOVE TO CONTINUE ITEM 49 UNTIL THE OCTOBER
10:58:28 15th REGULAR MEETING. UNDER UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
10:58:35 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION, SECOND BY
10:58:40 COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:58:41 LET'S GET A ROLL CALL VOTE BECAUSE OF THE VERY LARGE
10:58:44 AMOUNT.
10:58:44 >>THE CLERK: VIERA?
10:58:49 >>LUIS VIERA: I WAS HAVING TROUBLE LOGGING BACK INTO THE
10:58:51 MEETING.
10:58:54 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:58:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
10:58:59 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:59:01 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:59:03 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:59:10 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:59:11 >> MOTION CARRIED WITH VIERA ABSENT AT VOTE.
10:59:14 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT ITEM IS NUMBER 50, AN $8
10:59:18 MILLION CONTRACT AND WE HAVE A MEMO FROM BRAD BAIRD AND
10:59:21 HE IS ON THE LINE.
10:59:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WILL JUST CUT TO THE CHASE ON THIS
10:59:28 ONE. THIS WAS A NEGOTIATED CONTRACT.
10:59:30 MY CONCERN AGAIN IS THE EXACT SAME CONCERN I HAD BEFORE.
10:59:33 I LOOK AT THE BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS, AND WORKING WITH
10:59:37 GREG, THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB GETTING US THE
10:59:39 INFORMATION.
10:59:41 THIS IS 34% WMBE, OKAY, AND IT'S GREAT.
10:59:46 IT'S WESTER CONSTRUCTION BUT ONLY 35% HISPANIC AND ZERO
10:59:53 PERCENT BBE.
10:59:55 SO I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM, AND BRAD,
11:00:00 I'M SORRY TO CUT YOU OFF IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WOULD
11:00:03 LIKE TO ADD.
11:00:04 I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THIS TO OCTOBER 15th.
11:00:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: BEFORE WE DO THAT, MR. BAIRD, DO YOU
11:00:12 HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO THAT?
11:00:13 >>BRAD BAIRD: I DO.
11:00:14 SO I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS ITEM IS FOR DESIGN
11:00:19 PHASE ONE DESIGN SERVICES FOR A TOTAL ESTIMATED
11:00:26 CONSTRUCTION, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, THAT WE
11:00:30 WOULD COME BACK LATER WITH THE CONSTRUCTION PART OF ABOUT
11:00:34 $50 MILLION.
11:00:35 SO THIS IS, AGAIN, THIS IS DESIGNED FOR SPECIFICATIONS,
11:00:43 PERMITTING, MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC, AND DELIVERING A
11:00:47 GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE PROPOSAL, WHICH WE WOULD COME
11:00:50 BACK TO YOU FOR, AND IF AT THAT TIME WE WOULD SIT DOWN
11:00:54 WITH THE WESTRA, MR. HART AND I WILL SIT DOWN WITH THEM
11:01:00 AND OUR TEAMS WILL SIT DOWN WITH THEM TO TELL THEM WHAT
11:01:07 THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE AND WORK WITH THIS TEAM TO MAXIMIZE
11:01:10 WMBE PARTICIPATION.
11:01:12 SO AGAIN, THIS IS THE DESIGN PHASE AND THEY HAVE WELL
11:01:20 EXCEEDED WHAT -- THE COMMITMENT THEY MADE AT THE
11:01:24 COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATIONS AT PRESENTATIONS.
11:01:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, AGAIN, WITH ALL DUE
11:01:33 RESPECT, THEY DO A GREAT JOB DAY IN AND DAY OUT.
11:01:39 THE BOTTOM LINE IS, ARE WE SENDING A MESSAGE TO THE
11:01:46 COMMUNITY THAT WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A BLACK
11:01:48 BUSINESS OUT THERE OR HARDLY ANY HISPANIC BUSINESS, OR
11:01:54 ZERO NATIVE BUSINESS THAT CAN HELP WITH THE DESIGN OF
11:01:56 THIS?
11:01:57 THIS IS NOT CHICKEN FEED.
11:01:59 $8 MILLION OF DESIGN WORK.
11:02:01 AND WE NEED TO PUT PROFESSIONALS -- NOT JUST SIX FIGURES
11:02:09 BUT BRING UP PROFESSIONALS IN THE MINORITY COMMUNITY AS
11:02:11 WELL AND THE WAY WE DO THAT IS THROUGH THESE CONTRACTS.
11:02:15 AGAIN MY MOTION IS NOT TO DENY THIS.
11:02:17 MY MOTION IS TO CONTINUE IT TILL OCTOBER 15th.
11:02:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
11:02:24 SOUND GOOD.
11:02:25 WE HAVE A MOTION --
11:02:27 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: MR. CHAIR, THIS IS ANDREA ZELMAN,
11:02:29 DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY.
11:02:30 THE ONLY THING I WOULD SUGGEST TO COUNCIL, YOU CERTAINLY
11:02:35 MADE THE PURCHASING AND CONTRACTING DEPARTMENT AWARE OF
11:02:38 YOUR CONCERNS.
11:02:39 I THINK THEY UNDERSTAND THAT.
11:02:44 THEY HAVE ALSO SPOKEN TO YOU ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY IN
11:02:49 MEETING THIS SOMETIMES.
11:02:50 IF THE GOAL IS TO SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH THEM ABOUT MORE
11:02:54 EFFECTIVE WAYS TO DO THAT, THAT CAN CERTAINLY BE DONE.
11:02:58 BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT COUNCIL NOT DELAY PROJECTS IN
11:03:03 THE CITY THAT NEED TO GET UNDERWAY TO SERVE THE PUBLIC.
11:03:08 SO THANK YOU.
11:03:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:03:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I RESPECT MS. ZELMAN'S COMMENTS AND THE
11:03:20 LEGAL TEAM.
11:03:21 BUT WE HAVE TO SET A POINT, AT SOME POINT WHERE WE ARE
11:03:24 GOING TO SET IT, YOU KNOW.
11:03:25 THERE ARE A LOT OF MINORITY BUSINESSES THAT DON'T GET
11:03:28 OPPORTUNITIES, BUT DO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY --
11:03:34 AGAIN, I KEEP HEARING, WE ARE TRYING, BUT WAY DON'T
11:03:38 UNDERSTAND, IF YOU ARE SAYING HERE IS THE GOAL, THEN WHY
11:03:42 PUT A CONTRACT IN WITH NO EXPECTATION?
11:03:51 SOMEONE IS DECIDING THAT'S WHAT THE GOAL IS, THAT'S WHAT
11:03:55 THE PROPOSAL IS.
11:03:56 AND TO BE ME IT'S GOING -- DOES FIRST IS WHAT WE ARE
11:04:02 LOOKING FOR.
11:04:03 SO I YIELD BACK, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:04:06 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:04:06 >>BILL CARLSON: MR. CHAIR.
11:04:14 I THINK THE ISSUE IS NOT BETWEEN CITY COUNCIL AND
11:04:18 PURCHASING.
11:04:18 I THINK IT'S BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY OF PURCHASING.
11:04:21 I KNOW THAT THE MAYOR AND STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION ARE
11:04:25 TRYING HARD AT ALL OF THIS.
11:04:26 BUT THE COMMUNITY IS VERY, VERY FRUSTRATED.
11:04:29 AND I HAVE HAD LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS, FOLKS ARE CALLING
11:04:31 ME, AND THE FOLKS WHO WANT BUSINESS, AND ARE FRUSTRATED
11:04:40 ON WHAT THE GAPS ARE, AND THEY ARE VERY FRUSTRATED IN
11:04:43 PARTICULAR THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO GET PROFESSIONAL
11:04:45 BUSINESS, AND THEY SAME THAT THERE ARE BUSINESSES THAT
11:04:47 ARE QUALIFIED, THAT DON'T GET CALLS BECAUSE THEY ARE ON A
11:04:50 SHORT LIST, IF THEY ARE ON A SHORT LIST THEY DON'T GET
11:04:53 CALLED, AND I THINK THERE HAS TO BE A DEEPER CONVERSATION
11:04:55 WITH THE COMMUNITY TO TRY TO FIGURE THIS PROBLEM OUT.
11:04:58 THANK YOU.
11:04:58 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:05:00 ANYBODY ELSE?
11:05:00 >>LUIS VIERA: MR. CHAIR?
11:05:06 THIS IS VIERA, IF I MAY.
11:05:08 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
11:05:09 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
11:05:11 AS YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN TEXTING, MR. CHAIR, THE LAST 10
11:05:15 OR 12 MINUTES I HAVE BEEN OFF AND ON.
11:05:17 I DON'T KNOW, I HAVE THE WEIRDEST -- I AM GOING TO -- I
11:05:22 HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A LOT OF THIS DISCUSSION TRYING TO GET
11:05:25 BACK ON, JUST FY, THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE.
11:05:29 BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD, WE HAVE BEEN TEXTING, BUT JUST
11:05:33 FOR THE RECORD.
11:05:34 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:05:37 ANYBODY ELSE?
11:05:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, ONE LAST COMMENT.
11:05:43 TO MS. ZELMAN.
11:05:45 IN RESPONSE TO MS. ZELMAN, OF COURSE I RESPECT ANDREA
11:05:49 TREMENDOUSLY AS WELL.
11:05:55 THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON EVER SINCE LAST YEAR WHEN WE
11:05:59 PASSED PIPES.
11:06:00 AND I SUGGESTED TO CHIEF OF STAFF BENNETT YESTERDAY THAT
11:06:05 MR. HART AND MR. BAIRD DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STAFF ON THE
11:06:09 PIPES PROGRAM TO JUMP IN AND TAKE A DEEPER DIVE ON EVERY
11:06:14 SINGLE ONE OF THESE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACTS.
11:06:18 BECAUSE AS I LOOK AT OUR ROLE AS SORT OF THE MATCH MAKER,
11:06:23 AND WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF HELPING THOSE BIG FIND
11:06:31 THOSE SMALL MINORITY COMPANIES, AND HACK THE TWO OF THEM
11:06:35 UP TOGETHER, AND GIVE US A SHIDDUCH, THAT JUST MEANS A
11:06:44 MATCHMAKING.
11:06:46 AND I THINK THAT MIGHT TAKE SOME ADDITIONAL FIRST STEPS.
11:06:50 MR. BENNETT CAME TO THAT ABOUT LOOKING INTO THAT WHETHER
11:06:56 THAT'S CONTRACT PERSONNEL OR STAFF.
11:07:02 DUE TO OUR COVID CONSTRAINTS.
11:07:04 BUT I BELIEVE THE $3.5 BILLION PIPES PROGRAM CAN AFFORD
11:07:09 THAT TYPE OF INVESTMENT.
11:07:11 SO THAT'S A BIG PICTURE THING.
11:07:13 IN THE SHORT TERM, LET'S SEE HOW WE DO OVER THE NEXT
11:07:15 20-SOMETHING DAYS, BRING THIS BACK ON THE 15th.
11:07:18 THANK YOU.
11:07:18 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN?
11:07:23 MR. CHAIRMAN?
11:07:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN GUDES.
11:07:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I HAD A CALL FROM THE NAACP THAT TALKED
11:07:35 ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY ARE ASKING TO BE A PART TO
11:07:39 HELP CHANNEL THESE MINORITY VENDORS AND SO FORTH TO THE
11:07:42 CITY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MR. HART IS SHORT STAFFED.
11:07:46 MR. DINGFELDER MADE A PERFECT POINT.
11:07:48 YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STAFF TO MAKE ALL THESE CALLS AND
11:07:51 FIND THE MINORITY BUSINESSES.
11:07:56 SO I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT, IF THERE'S A SOURCE,
11:08:01 A PLACE TO PROVIDE THESE MINORITY BUSINESSES TO OUR
11:08:04 CONTRACT SERVICES, TO MR. BAIRD AND MR. HART, TO HELP
11:08:08 THEM OUT.
11:08:09 I THINK THAT MIGHT BE PART OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL.
11:08:12 BUT EVENTUALLY WE HAVE GOT TO COME TO A RESOLUTION IN THE
11:08:16 COMMUNITY SAYING THAT, AND MAKE [~AUDIO DISTORTION~]
11:08:27 THANK YOU, SIR.
11:08:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:08:32 WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
11:08:34 DO WE HAVE A SECOND TO CONTINUE THIS TO OCTOBER 15th?
11:08:37 THIS IS ITEM NUMBER 50.
11:08:40 SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
11:08:43 LET'S HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE.
11:08:44 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
11:08:48 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
11:08:51 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
11:08:52 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
11:08:55 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
11:08:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
11:08:59 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIRMAN, BEFORE I VOTE YES,
11:09:02 WHICH I WILL, I JUST WANT TO PUT SOMETHING ON THE RECORD.
11:09:06 WHAT HAPPENS IN THE 30 DAYS WHEN WE COME BACK ON OCTOBER
11:09:09 15th, ON OCTOBER 15th, AND FOR SOME REASON OR
11:09:12 ANOTHER, AND I JUST BRING THIS OUT, THESE GOALS THAT WE
11:09:17 ARE TRYING TO REACH GOES DOWN, WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
11:09:20 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHO WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER THAT?
11:09:26 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN, I WILL RESPOND, YOU KNOW.
11:09:28 WE TRY.
11:09:28 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I JUST WANT TO KNOW.
11:09:33 I VOTE YES.
11:09:33 >> MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
11:09:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:09:41 WE NOW GO TO ITEM NUMBER 51.
11:09:43 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, COUNCIL, FOR BOTH 49 AND
11:09:47 50.
11:09:47 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU'RE WELCOME.
11:09:48 >>LUIS VIERA: AND MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY, I APOLOGIZE FOR
11:09:54 49, I WAS HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES BUT OUR WONDERFUL
11:09:59 LEGISLATIVE AIDE FILLED ME IN ON NUMBER 50.
11:10:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:10:14 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DID MR. SHELBY CHIME IN?
11:10:18 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I THINK STAFF IS GOING TO MAKE A
11:10:20 PRESENTATION.
11:10:21 I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE COUNCIL WAS AWARE OF THE
11:10:25 SUBSTITUTION, THAT'S ALL.
11:10:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY, ITEM NUMBER 51.
11:10:29 >>CAROLE POST: THIS IS CAROLE POST, ADMINISTRATOR FOR
11:10:33 DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
11:10:36 THE SLIDES ARE BEING PULLED UP THAT WILL BETTER
11:10:38 ILLUSTRATE THIS PROJECT.
11:10:40 AND I WANT TO JUST NOTE THAT I AM SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF
11:10:45 VENESSA McCLEARY WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD GET THE
11:10:48 CREDIT FOR THIS PROJECT.
11:10:50 SHE'S CURRENTLY ON A STATE WIDE CALL, AND I AM HAPPY TO
11:10:56 CARRY HER TORCH THIS MORNING.
11:10:57 TO BRIEF YOU ALL QUICKLY ON A PROJECT THAT I THINK
11:11:00 REPRESENTS ANOTHER STEP IN OUR LARGE HOUSING
11:11:04 AFFORDABILITY ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.
11:11:06 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:11:08 FOUNTAIN YOU RECALL, VANESSA AND MYSELF, WELL, THE
11:11:14 SUMMARY OF ITEM NUMBER 51.
11:11:17 WE'LL COME TO THAT.
11:11:18 NEXT SLIDE.
11:11:21 ON AUGUST 27th, VANESSA AND I PRESENTED A PRETTY
11:11:26 COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE ON THE MAYOR'S HOUSING INITIATIVE,
11:11:29 AND INITIATIVES THAT WERE IN FRONT OF US.
11:11:32 IN FACT, THIS RESOLUTION ADDRESSES ONE ITEM THAT WAS ON
11:11:36 PART OF THAT PRESENTATION.
11:11:38 IT'S OUR HOUSING PROJECT THAT WILL BE COMING ONLINE IN
11:11:40 THE NEXT YEAR.
11:11:41 I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE, THOUGH, THAT AS I SAID, THIS IS ONE
11:11:46 STEP AMONG MANY.
11:11:46 IN FACT TODAY THERE WERE THREE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THAT
11:11:49 WILL POSITIVELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO ADDRESS HOUSING
11:11:53 AFFORDABILITY.
11:11:54 THE FIRST WAS PART OF THE CONSENT AGENDA, ITEM NUMBER 3,
11:11:59 UTILITY FEES ORDINANCE.
11:12:02 AND WITHIN THAT ORDINANCE, AND ALL THE IMPACTS AROUND
11:12:08 WEIGHT AND WASTEWATER FEES, AS HAVE BEEN PRESENTED, THERE
11:12:13 IS A COMPONENT THAT PROVIDES FOR DEVELOPMENTS AND
11:12:17 PROJECTS THAT QUALIFY AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING WILL ACTUALLY
11:12:21 HAVE A ZERO FEE FOR WASTEWATER AND WATER.
11:12:26 AND THAT WILL BE A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE DOWN
11:12:29 THE COSTS OF DEVELOPING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
11:12:33 THAT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE MARCH 1st OF 2021 BUT WE
11:12:37 WILL BE WORKING BETWEEN NOW AND THEN TO INTEGRATE THAT
11:12:42 INTO OUR SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MAKING THAT VERY
11:12:45 VISIBLE TO OUR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, ACROSS THE PRIVATE
11:12:49 SECTOR, AND HELP DRIVE AND INFLUENCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF
11:12:52 AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
11:12:54 IN ADDITION, THERE IS AN ITEM SHORTLY AFTER THIS
11:12:57 PRESENTATION, AROUND LAND ACQUISITION, WHICH IS YET
11:13:03 ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY TO HELP DRIVE AFFORDABLE
11:13:05 HOUSING PRODUCTION.
11:13:07 FOR THIS ITEM, THIS ITEM PERTAINS TO HOUSING UNITS
11:13:11 PRODUCTION.
11:13:12 AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE ON A MARCH TO 20,000 UNITS BY 2027
11:13:18 AND THIS WILL TAKE US PART OF THE WAY THERE.
11:13:20 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:13:23 SKIP FORWARD.
11:13:23 THIS IS THE MADISON HEIGHTS PROJECT.
11:13:27 A QUICK PROJECT SUMMARY.
11:13:29 THIS WILL BRING 102 APARTMENT UNITS, 6 STORY PROJECT, FOR
11:13:35 THE AFFORDABLE ELDERLY, THAT IS A TERM TERM OF ART,
11:13:41 QUALIFYING GROUP.
11:13:42 THIS IS A LOW-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT DEVELOPMENT.
11:13:46 I'LL SPEAK ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT.
11:13:47 YOU CAN SEE THE DEVELOPER AND OPERATIONS LEAD FOR THE
11:13:51 PROJECT.
11:13:55 ONE BEDROOM ONE BATH, TWO BEDROOM, TWO BATH, AND THE
11:13:59 AFFORDABILITY IS LOCKED IN FOR A 50-YEAR PERIOD.
11:14:02 YOU CAN SEE THE SET-ASIDE THERE AS WELL.
11:14:06 FOR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE VISUAL, WE HAVE 10% SED SET
11:14:09 ASIDE.
11:14:11 930% AT 60% OF THE AMI.
11:14:14 AND 5 OF THE 33% AMI UNITS ARE ACTUALLY DESIGNATED FOR
11:14:20 SPECIAL NEEDS PERSONS.
11:14:21 NEXT SLIDE.
11:14:23 THE REASON THIS PROJECT WE THINK IS SO IMPORTANT IS THAT
11:14:28 AVOID PARTICULARLY IN EAST TAMPA, YOU CAN SEE THE
11:14:32 LOCATION DESIGNATED HERE, WHAT THE CIRCLE REPRESENTS IS A
11:14:35 TWO-MILE, THE INNER CIRCLE, A TWO-MAIL RADIUS, THE OUTER
11:14:40 CIRCLE A FIVE MAIL RADIUS.
11:14:42 WITHIN THAT TWO-MILE RADIUS, THERE ARE NO OTHER, NOT A
11:14:44 SINGLE OTHER -- REGULATED AFFORDABLE ELDERLY PROJECTS.
11:14:50 AND WITHIN THE FIVE MILE RADIUS, AS YOU SEE, THEY ARE
11:14:54 LOCATED ON THAT LOWER LEFT SIDE.
11:14:56 THERE IS DEFINITELY A VOID OF HAVING THIS TYPE OF HOUSING
11:15:00 AVAILABLE TO OUR ELDERLY CITIZENS, AND THIS WILL BE A
11:15:04 GREAT ADDITION TO BE THAT, TO ASSIST THE ELDERLY TO HAVE
11:15:08 AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND THIS WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION FOR
11:15:13 HAVING SOME GREAT QUALITY AMENITIES.
11:15:17 NEXT SLIDE.
11:15:18 THE REASON THE ITEM IS ON THE AGENDA TODAY HAS TO DO WITH
11:15:22 OUR PLAN TRANSACTION, OUR LOAN TRANSACTION, AND IT STATES
11:15:28 THAN THE REQUIREMENTS, THIS ALL TOOK PLACE A YEAR AGO,
11:15:33 FHFC.
11:15:35 YOU CAN SEE THE VALUE OF THE LAND, THE VALUE OF THE
11:15:37 CONSTRUCTION COST AND THE TOTAL DEVELOPMENT COST OF 102
11:15:43 UNITS.
11:15:43 NOW THIS PROJECT IS SPECIAL BECAUSE IT IS THE FHFC
11:15:48 PROJECT THAT QUALIFIES FOR THE 9% TAX CREDIT.
11:15:52 THIS IS THE PROGRAM THAT WE RECENTLY AGREED WITH THE
11:16:00 COUNTY SO THAT WE CAN BETTER DESIGN AND CREATE
11:16:04 ACCESSIBILITY FOR OUR DEVELOPER COMMUNITY, SO THE CITY,
11:16:10 THE AWARDEE IN 20919 AND THIS WAS THE PROJECT THAT WAS
11:16:14 SPECIFIED.
11:16:15 AND WE BELIEVE THAT IT WAS IDENTIFIED FOR THAT BECAUSE OF
11:16:20 HOW IT FILLED THAT GAP FOR ELDERLY IN EAST TAMPA.
11:16:25 AS PART OF THE FHFC ELIGIBILITY TAX CREDIT ELIGIBILITY,
11:16:31 THEY REQUIRED THAT THE GOVERNING JURISDICTION HAS SKIN IN
11:16:33 THE GAME, AND THESE ARE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THE CITY IS
11:16:41 MAKING A MAXIMUM FHFC GUIDELINES OF $625,000 LOAN, AND
11:16:51 THAT LOAN WILL BE REPAID OVER THE COURSE OF 20 YEARS WITH
11:16:55 A 3% INTEREST RATE.
11:16:57 SO THAT IS THE CONTRIBUTION THAT IS BEING MADE, AND THAT
11:17:00 IS THE NATURE OF THE AGREEMENT THAT IS FOR THE -- BEFORE
11:17:04 THE COUNCIL TODAY FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THAT.
11:17:07 NEXT SLIDE.
11:17:09 THESE TWO OTHER SLIDE, I WON'T GO INTO DETAIL BUT TO GIVE
11:17:13 YOU A SENSE OF THE CONFIGURATION DESIGN OF THE BUILDING.
11:17:16 AND THE NEXT SLIDE, A WIDE RANGE OF AMENITIES THAT WILL
11:17:20 BE AVAILABLE.
11:17:21 AND I THINK WE ARE REALLY SEEING HOW AFFORDABLE HOUSING
11:17:25 HAS TRANSFORMED TO BE THINK ABOUT, AND SOMEWHAT
11:17:30 STIGMATIZED FRANKLY INTO SOMETHING THAT CAN REALLY BE A
11:17:34 VERY HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE, AMENITIES, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU
11:17:37 ARE SEEING HERE IS WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED IN THIS
11:17:40 PROJECT.
11:17:41 AND LAST SLIDE, THE TIMELINE FOR THE PROJECT IS PURSUANT
11:17:45 TO YOUR APPROVAL TODAY, IT WOULD ENABLE US, FOR THE
11:17:51 DEVELOPER TO START CONSTRUCTION, LATER NEXT YEAR, AND
11:17:57 THEN PROJECTS FINISHED BY THE END OF 2021.
11:18:04 THAT'S THE END OF THE PRESENTATION.
11:18:05 I AM HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
11:18:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
11:18:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: A QUICK QUESTION.
11:18:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
11:18:11 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CAROLE, THANKS FOR PULLING THIS ITEM
11:18:16 AND MAKING A PUBLIC PRESENTATION.
11:18:19 AS ALL OF US KNOW, WE GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS DAY IN AND
11:18:22 DAY OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE CITY DOING WITH AFFORDABLE
11:18:25 HOUSING, AND THIS IS A FANTASTIC PROJECT.
11:18:32 MY SPECIFIC QUESTION, CAROLE, THAT MONEY PERHAPS CAME
11:18:38 THROUGH THE FEDS AS PART OF THE HOME PROGRAM, WHICH IS
11:18:41 ALL FINE AND GOOD.
11:18:42 WHEN THEY START PAYING IT BACK, DO WE GET TO KEEP IT AND
11:18:50 PUT IT INTO OUR OWN LAND TRUST OR THAT SORT OF THING?
11:18:54 OR DO WE HAVE TO JUST PASS IT BACK TO THE FEDS?
11:18:56 >>CAROLE POST: MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THAT MONEY IS
11:19:03 ALLOCATED TO THE CITY.
11:19:05 WE DESIGNATED THIS FOR THIS PURPOSE.
11:19:07 IT'S A HOME FUND.
11:19:08 WE DESIGNATED IT FOR THIS PURPOSE.
11:19:10 BUT IT WAS ALLOCATED TO THE CITY, SO WHEN IT IS RETURNED
11:19:14 AND REPAID WITH THAT, ALL INTEREST, IT INURES BACK TO THE
11:19:20 BENEFIT OF THE CITY.
11:19:21 >>JOHN DINGFELDER:
11:19:21 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT SOUND LIKE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR
11:19:23 US IN A VERY SMALL WAY, OBVIOUSLY OVER 30 YEARS OR
11:19:27 WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, WON'T GROWN VERY FAST, BUT JUST TO
11:19:30 START THAT LAND TRUST OR WHATEVER WE ARE GOING TO CALL
11:19:35 IT, LAND BANKING, LAND TRUST MONEY, AND START BUILDING
11:19:39 IT.
11:19:40 AND TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN BUILD IN THE DIFFERENT
11:19:44 DIRECTIONS, BUT START ACCUMULATING FUND THAT ARE LESS
11:19:48 DEPENDENT ON WASHINGTON AND TALLAHASSEE.
11:19:58 POST POST A GREAT SUGGESTION.
11:20:00 I'LL CONFIRM WITH THE TEAM TO MAKE SURE IT HASN'T BEEN
11:20:04 EARMARKED FORBE ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
11:20:05 THANK YOU.
11:20:06 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
11:20:07 >>BILL CARLSON: MR. CHAIR, THIS IS CARLSON.
11:20:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN GUDES, COUNCILMAN
11:20:15 CARLSON.
11:20:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THAT, MAKING
11:20:19 SURE THAT MONEY COMES BACK THAT HAS NO SPECIFIC EARMARKS
11:20:24 FOLLOWING FEDERAL GUIDELINES COMING BACK, SPECIAL FUND,
11:20:31 SO NO SPECIAL CRITERIA, HERE IT IS, AND THAT WILL BE
11:20:40 GREAT.
11:20:40 AND LOOK AT THE MAP TO SOUTH OF HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH OF
11:20:48 HILLSBOROUGH, I THINK SOME LANDMARKS SO I CAN LOOK AT
11:20:54 THAT.
11:20:55 >>CAROLE POST: IT IS LITERALLY AT HILLSBOROUGH.
11:21:00 IT IS AT 5315 NORTH 37th STREET IS THE ACTUAL
11:21:05 ADDRESS.
11:21:06 SO IT'S 37th AND HILLSBOROUGH.
11:21:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I KNOW THE COMMUNITY WAS HAVING SOME
11:21:12 CONCERNS, THEY ARE NOT GETTING PHONE CALLS RETURNED,
11:21:17 RELATIVE TO WHAT WAS PROPOSED, WHAT WAS GOING ON.
11:21:20 I DON'T KNOW IF THE PROGRAM STOPPED BUT I THINK WE STILL
11:21:26 NEED TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON,
11:21:28 ESPECIALLY CALLING MY OFFICE ABOUT THAT PROPERTY OVER
11:21:32 THERE [~AUDIO DISTORTION~] BEHIND THE ZONE, I BELIEVE.
11:21:39 SO WITH F WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS BEING
11:21:43 UPDATED, WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT'S GOING THERE, SO I DON'T
11:21:46 GET BOTHERED WITH SO MANY CALLS, TO KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE
11:21:50 A FACILITY FOR ELDERLY SENIORS AND NOT JUST AN APARTMENT
11:21:55 COMPLEX GOING UP.
11:21:56 THAT'S A CONCERN THAT THEY HAVE.
11:21:57 >>CAROLE POST: WE WILL DEFINITELY DO THAT.
11:21:59 THANK YOU.
11:21:59 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
11:22:05 >>BILL CARLSON: I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO MS.
11:22:10 POST AND CHIEF OF STAFF, AND FOR DEDICATION TO THE
11:22:15 HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.
11:22:17 WE HAVE BEEN HEARING, CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN HEARING FOR
11:22:19 MORE THAN A YEAR ABOUT THE CRISIS, 150,000 HOMES THAT WE
11:22:26 HAVE A SHORTAGE OF AND WE HAVE SEEN HOW THIS SHORTAGE
11:22:29 AFFECTS US ECONOMICALLY.
11:22:30 IT HURTS OUR COMPANIES BECAUSE THEIR STAFF MEMBERS DON'T
11:22:34 HAVE WORKFORCE HOUSING, AND TRANSPORTATION, BECAUSE
11:22:36 PEOPLE HAVE TO PARK FAR OUT.
11:22:38 AND THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES.
11:22:42 BUT CITY COUNCIL, SET THIS AS A HEY PRIORITY AND IT'S
11:22:46 GREAT THAT YOU AND THE MAYOR AND THE OTHERS HAVE MOVED
11:22:51 FORWARD, AND IN PARTICULAR DIVERSIFYING THE INVESTMENT
11:22:54 BASE THAT WE ARE GETTING NEW PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTORS,
11:22:57 WHICH IS ANOTHER CRITICISM IN THE PAST THAT PRIVATE
11:22:59 SECTOR INVESTORS WERE TURNED DOWN.
11:23:01 SO THANK YOU FOR WIDE EVENING THAT FIELD AND FOR THE
11:23:07 SUPPORT AND HELP.
11:23:08 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:23:10 ARE THERE ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH QUESTIONS OR
11:23:13 COMMENTS AT THIS TIME?
11:23:16 WHO WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THE RESOLUTION?

11:23:39 ATTACHMENT.

11:23:42 MOVING THE SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION?
11:23:44 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR.

11:24:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE I KNOW GO TO ITEM NUMBER 52.
11:24:15 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: CRA DIRECTOR.
11:24:26 WE ARE HERE THIS MORNING TO SHOW OUR ALIGNMENT AND
11:24:31 SUPPORT FOR THE CITY'S INITIATIVES IN HOUSING THAT CAROL
11:24:35 POST SO THOROUGHLY COVERED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR
11:24:37 GOALS AND THE NEED FOR AFFORDABLE AND WORKFORCE HOUSING
11:24:41 IN OUR COMMUNITY AND IN THE CITY.
11:24:44 THE DOWNTOWN CRA IS NOW IN A NA POSITION TO FURTHER OUR
11:24:47 COMMITMENT TO OUR HOUSING NEEDS, BY A PARCEL OF LAND IN
11:24:54 NORTHWEST DOWNTOWN CRA.
11:24:55 ITEMS NUMBER 352 AND 53 ARE JOINT RESOLUTIONS FOR THE
11:24:59 ACQUISITION OF THAT PROPERTY.
11:25:01 WE HAVE ROB ROSNER REQUEST US, THE DOWNTOWN CRA MANAGER,
11:25:04 AND HE HAS A FEW SLIDES THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO GO OVER
11:25:07 WITH YOU TO SHOW YOU THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY AND TO
11:25:10 PUT SOME CONTEXT INTO THIS ACQUISITION FOR YOU AND
11:25:14 COUNCIL AND FOR THE HEARING PUBLIC.
11:25:17 ROB.
11:25:17 >>ROB ROSNER: GOOD MORNING.
11:25:21 THANK YOU.
11:25:21 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:25:25 THE MOTION TODAY IS TO PURCHASE 4.5 MILLION, 1312 NORTH
11:25:32 TAMPA STREET FOR THE USE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WORKFORCE
11:25:35 HOUSING.
11:25:36 AND HOW THE GOALS HAVE BEEN SET UP BY THE DOWNTOWN CRA IN
11:25:41 ALIGNMENT WITH THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INITIATIVE THAT WE
11:25:47 HAVE.
11:25:47 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:25:58 WE'LL STARTLE WITH THE OPPORTUNITIES.
11:25:59 I'M SORRY, PREVIOUS SLIDE.
11:26:02 IT MUST BE GOING A LITTLE SLOWER.
11:26:03 MY APOLOGIES.
11:26:04 WE WANT TO TALK FIRST ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES.
11:26:07 THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY'S AFFORDABLE
11:26:10 HOUSING INITIATIVES.
11:26:11 WE ALSO HAVE A STRONG NEED FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING, A
11:26:16 STRONG DEMAND THE PAST TWO YEARS AND MORE SO OVER THE
11:26:21 PAST YEAR. THIS SITE HAS BEEN UNDERUTILIZED FOR THE PAST
11:26:24 YEARS AND THE SITE IS FOR SALE NOW.
11:26:28 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:26:30 WE WENT THROUGH A PROCESS WITH CAC FOR $5 MILLION FOR
11:26:43 WORKFORCE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES.
11:26:46 WITH THAT, WE HAVE MULTIPLE OPTIONS THAT WERE OUT THERE.
11:26:54 WE LEARNED AVAILABILITY OF THIS SITE IN 2019 BUT IT WAS
11:26:57 ALREADY UNDERSTOOD CONTRACT LAST WEEK IT BECAME AVAILABLE
11:27:02 AFTER DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD ENDED.
11:27:05 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:27:10 THE BENEFITS, THIS ALIGNS WITH A NUMBER OF OUR OTHER
11:27:16 GOALS, OUR MOBILITY GOALS FOR TRANSPORTATION, PROXIMITY
11:27:23 TO DOWNTOWN AS A MAJOR EMPLOYMENT CENTER, DEMAND FOR THIS
11:27:26 AREA FOR PARKING WHICH WE HAD PREVIOUS PROJECTS SUCH AS
11:27:30 SCOTT STREET PARKING LOT AND A NUMBER OF OTHER
11:27:32 IMPROVEMENTS.
11:27:34 THIS IS IDEAL AS A TRANSIT POINT OF DEVELOPMENT, DUE TO
11:27:37 IT LEADING DIRECTLY TO THE FUTURE STREETCAR ALIGNMENT
11:27:41 THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING DOWN TAMPA, UP FLORIDA, AS YOU
11:27:44 CAN SEE, WE PUT A STAR AS A REFERENCE TO IT.
11:27:49 THERE WILL BE A STATION DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET.
11:27:51 AND THEN THIS ALSO HAS A GREAT CONNECTION TO THE HEART
11:27:56 TRANSIT CENTER WHICH IS ONLY TWO OR THREE BLOCKS AWAY
11:27:59 WHICH MAKES IT VERY WALKABLE.
11:28:01 WITH THAT, I WILL CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION AND TAKE ANY
11:28:04 QUESTIONS.
11:28:04 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIR?
11:28:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN GUDES.
11:28:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: FOR A POINT OF CLARITY, ARE WE LOOKING
11:28:15 AT ITEM 52 OR 53 BUT I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER AGENDA FOR THE
11:28:18 CRA TO HAVE THE SAME VERBIAGE.
11:28:22 SO IF I CAN GET SOME CLARITY.
11:28:25 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: YES, SIR.
11:28:30 OUR PROCESS NORMALLY IS THAT WE GO TO THE CAC TO GET
11:28:33 PERMISSION TO REPROGRAM THE MONEY, AND THAT PROCESS HAS
11:28:37 BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, AS ROB MENTIONED.
11:28:39 THEN WE WOULD GO TO THE CRA BOARD AND FOR THE PROGRAMMING
11:28:44 OF THE MONEY.
11:28:44 AND THEN WE WOULD GONE TO COUNCIL TO DO THE FISCAL
11:28:47 RESOLUTION TO REPROGRAM THAT MONEY AND ALSO RESOLUTION TO
11:28:50 APPROVE THE CONTRACT.
11:28:53 THIS MORNING, INSTEAD OF CORRUPTING -- INTERRUPTING THE
11:28:57 BEGINNING OF THE MEETING AND DELAYING PUBLIC COMMENTS AND
11:29:00 DUE TO THE SHORTNESS OF THE SPECIAL CALL MEETING FOR THE
11:29:02 CRA, THE CRA MEETING IS HAPPENING AFTER THIS COUNCIL
11:29:05 MEETING IS OVER, AND THE PURPOSE OF THAT IS TO SO THE CRA
11:29:09 BOARD CAN EVENTUALLY REPROGRAM THE MONEY IN ORDER TO MAKE
11:29:13 THIS ACQUISITION HAPPEN.
11:29:15 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MS. VAN LOAN.
11:29:19 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
11:29:21 ANY QUESTIONS?
11:29:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR.
11:29:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
11:29:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
11:29:36 CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE, ROB, THE NEXT ONE, THE NEXT
11:29:42 ONE.
11:29:47 GO BACK ONE.
11:29:49 THERE.
11:29:51 THE ONE THAT SHOWS THE OVERALL AREA OF WHAT'S AROUND THE
11:29:55 PROJECT.
11:30:01 YES.
11:30:01 >> HOW CAN I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
11:30:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
11:30:09 THE SLIDE I AM LOOKING FOR IS THE ONE THAT SHOWS, WHO ARE
11:30:12 THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS IN TERMS OF OWNING -- OWNERSHIP OF
11:30:17 PROPERTY?
11:30:17 IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT'S SURROUNDING THIS PARCEL? THAT'S
11:30:20 QUESTION ONE.
11:30:21 SO I NEED A DIFFERENT SLIDE.
11:30:32 IT'S NOT THAT ONE.
11:30:34 IT'S THE OTHER ONE THAT'S COLORFUL.
11:30:35 >>MORRIS MASSEY: I THINK YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE AERIAL
11:30:41 SLIDE, ROB.
11:30:42 >>ROB ROSNER: NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:30:50 OUT OF THE FIVE SLIDE, SLIDE NUMBER 3.
11:30:53 [ LAUGHTER ]
11:30:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
11:30:58 SO THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION ABOUT THE SIZE OF
11:31:00 THE ACTUAL PARCEL, POTENTIALLY BUYING 4.5 MILLION, THE
11:31:08 COST PER SQUARE FOOT.
11:31:11 I READ THE APPRAISAL REPORT, AND I THINK THERE'S AN
11:31:16 AMENDED APPRAISAL REPORT.
11:31:18 SOME PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WERE SAYING, YOU KNOW, HOW
11:31:22 CAN WE SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY ON THIS RAGGEDLY OLD
11:31:26 BUILDING? AND I THINK YOU NEED -- FOR 4.5 MILLION, I
11:31:33 THINK YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THE APPRAISAL, THE COST,
11:31:36 FOOTPRINT, HOW BIG IS THIS ACTUAL PARCEL?
11:31:38 AND.
11:31:44 WHAT DO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS SAY?
11:31:46 WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT?
11:31:49 >> I'LL START WITH THE FIRST PART AND THEN LET ROB
11:31:51 IDENTIFY ALL THE ADJACENT PARCELS.
11:31:54 SO WITH THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO DIFFERENT APPRAISALS,
11:31:56 BOTH OF THEM CAME OUT WITH $150 A SQUARE FOOT COST.
11:32:01 THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT ONE APPRAISER TOOK THE SQUARE
11:32:04 FOOTAGE OFF OF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE, AND THE
11:32:08 SECOND APPRAISAL WENT OUT AND DID THEIR OWN FIELD SURVEY
11:32:13 WORK.
11:32:13 OUR REAL ESTATE DEPARTMENT DID HAVE OUR SURVEYOR GO OUT
11:32:18 TO DO A FINAL SURVEY SO WE DO KNOW THE EXACT SQUARE
11:32:21 FOOTAGE OF THE PARCEL.
11:32:24 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO APPRAISALS REGARDING THE
11:32:28 SQUARE FOOTAGE WAS A RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT.
11:32:31 AND WE WILL GET THAT FINAL EXACT SURVEY, BUT THE ACTUAL
11:32:38 SALE PRICE IS NOT BASED ON, YOU KNOW, OBTAINING AN ACTUAL
11:32:42 SQUARE FOOT PRAISE.
11:32:43 THE APPRAISALS ARE TELLING US WHAT THE MARKET RATE THEY
11:32:46 FEEL SHOULD BE FOR THIS PROPERTY AS A SQUARE FOOT PRICE
11:32:50 TO KNOW IF OR IF NOT WE ARE IN THAT RIGHT CITIZEN.
11:32:54 SO THE ACTUAL SALES PRICE WOULD BE 4.5 MILLION, PLUS THE
11:32:59 CLOSING COST, AND WE WILL HAVE THAT SLIGHT DISCREPANCY
11:33:03 BETWEEN THE TWO APPRAISALS WRAPPED UP EITHER BY THE END
11:33:06 OF NEXT WEEK OR EARLY THE FOLLOWING WEEK BY OUR
11:33:08 APPRAISER.
11:33:09 AND I WILL ALSO LET ROB TALK TO YOU WHAT'S ADJACENT AND
11:33:13 WHAT'S IN THE AREA BASED ON WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS AERIAL.
11:33:16 >>ROB ROSNER: SO WE HAVE TO THE SOUTH OF US --
11:33:27 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN?
11:33:28 MR. CHAIRMAN?
11:33:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR?
11:33:30 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MS. VAN LOAN, LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION.
11:33:38 [~AUDIO DISTORTION~] (MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS).
11:33:44 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: DO I HAVE REAL ESTATE ON THE CALL
11:33:54 TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROCESS, WORKING WITH THE SELLER?
11:33:58 >> YES. GOOD MORNING.
11:34:03 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WOULD YOU REPEAT THAT?
11:34:16 >> I'M ON THE LINE.
11:34:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: HOW DO WE NEGOTIATE?
11:34:22 I'M A BUSINESSMAN.
11:34:25 HOW DO WE NEGOTIATE?
11:34:27 WHAT'S THE PROCESS?
11:34:28 >> A TYPICAL ACQUISITION FOR ANY REAL ESTATE IN THE CITY
11:34:34 IS WE OBTAIN AN APPRAISAL SO THAT THE CITY IS PROTECTED
11:34:39 FROM PAYING ABOVE MARKET VALUE AN OUR ACQUISITION.
11:34:43 IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, WE ACQUIRED TWO APPRAISALS, AND
11:34:47 THEY BOTH CAME IN VERY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.
11:34:50 THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN UNDERSTOOD CONTRACT WITH ANOTHER
11:34:53 PARTY, AND WE DELIBERATELY WAITED FOR THAT CONTRACT TO
11:34:57 FALL APART BEFORE WE STARTED TALKING WITH THE OWNERS WHO
11:35:01 ARE OUT OF STATE ON THIS MATTER.
11:35:04 AND WE MADE AN OFFER TO THEM, AND WE NEGOTIATED FOR THIS
11:35:08 PRICE.
11:35:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO WE GET ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT THE
11:35:14 PRAYER -- HOW MUCH THE PRIOR ONE WAS?
11:35:18 >> WE HEARD SOME RUMORS ON THE STREET BUT, NO, WE DID NOT
11:35:21 HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION.
11:35:26 THEY WERE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE NUMBER THAT WE CAME IN AT.
11:35:29 THEY WERE JUST SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN OUR ORIGINAL FIRST
11:35:32 OFFER.
11:35:32 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY, THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH.
11:35:34 THANK YOU.
11:35:34 >> THANK YOU.
11:35:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
11:35:46 ALL RIGHT.
11:35:47 WE WILL CONTINUE.
11:35:47 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ROB WAS GOING TO POINT OUT SOME OF
11:35:51 THE OTHER THINGS.
11:35:54 ROB WAS GOING TO POINT OUT QUICKLY -- I KNOW ACROSS THE
11:35:59 STREET I GUESS WITH ALL THAT PARKING?
11:36:01 WHAT ELSE IS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH?
11:36:03 >>ROB ROSNER: OKAY.
11:36:06 LET'S GO CLOCKWISE.
11:36:07 ALITY 3:00, YOU HAVE THE STATE BUILDING THAT YOU JUST
11:36:10 MENTIONED AT ABOUT 5:00 THERE'S A PROPERTY THAT'S GOING
11:36:15 TO BE BUILDING TOWNHOMES THERE, CALLED THE FORTUNE
11:36:19 TOWNHOMES, THAT'S BEEN PERMITTED, AND WE WORKED WITH THEM
11:36:22 FOR DOING SOME WORK THERE.
11:36:26 THEN AROUND 7:00 SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY IS THE ROYAL
11:36:33 STREET PARKING LOT AT THE 9:00 POSITION IS THE
11:36:36 RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR FDOT OF THE CITY AND THE EXTENSION OF
11:36:42 THE ASHLEY STREET DRIVE. THIS IS THE APPROACH RAMP TO
11:36:45 GET ON AND OFF AT ASHLEY.
11:36:47 AND DUE NORTH, WE HAVE THE BILLBOARD SITE.
11:36:53 THEN WE HAVE ROYAL STREET, AND THEN THE CITY'S PROPOSED
11:36:57 LOT NORTH OF THAT.
11:36:58 AND FDOT, AT THE 1:00 POSITION, THE PARKING LOT THERE FOR
11:37:04 FUTURE TRANSIT.
11:37:08 THEY HAVE PLANS FOR MULTIMODAL SITE THAT WAS ON THAT SITE
11:37:12 AND TO THE EAST.
11:37:13 AND WE ARE ACTUALLY USING THE SCOTT STREET PARKING LOT,
11:37:19 SO FDOT HAS BOUGHT ALL OF THAT LAND SOUTH OF SCOTT STREET
11:37:24 BUT EAST.
11:37:27 HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
11:37:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:37:29 >>ROB ROSNER: YOU'RE WELCOME.
11:37:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE?
11:37:37 CAN I GET A MOTION TO MOVE THE RESOLUTION FOR ITEM NUMBER

11:40:44 >>BRAD BAIRD: HELLO, MR. CHAIR, CITY COUNCIL, AGAIN.
11:40:50 I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO UNRAVEL A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION
11:40:56 ON THIS ITEM, IF I MAY.
11:41:02 THANK YOU.
11:41:03 THIS ITEM ACTUALLY IS NOT THE SUCTION-MONTH REPORT FOR
11:41:08 THE PIPES PROGRAM.
11:41:10 MR. HART AND I GAVE THAT REPORT IN MAY.
11:41:15 MAY 7th.
11:41:17 A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.
11:41:18 AND THE NEXT REPORT FOR THAT IS DUE IN NOVEMBER.
11:41:22 I BELIEVE THAT WILL BE NOVEMBER 5th.
11:41:27 AGAIN, THAT'S THE PIPES REPORT, AND IN PARTICULAR THE
11:41:32 WMBE, MLBE PARTICIPATION ON ALL OF THE PIPES PROJECTS.
11:41:39 BUT THIS TRACES BACK TO A DECEMBER 5th REPORT
11:41:46 UNDERSTOOD STAFF REPORT THAT I GAVE TO COUNCIL REGARDING
11:41:54 ONE PARTICULAR PROJECT, AND THAT PROJECT IS A
11:42:00 $13.2 MILLION DESIGN BUILD PROJECT FOR THE SAN CARLOS
11:42:07 PUMPING STATION REHABILITATION.
11:42:09 AND THE MOTION BEFORE THAT REPORT, IF I CAN READ IT, MR.
11:42:16 CHAIR, THAT CITY STAFF BE REQUESTED TO APPEAR BEFORE
11:42:23 COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 5th, 2019 UNDER STAFF REPORTS
11:42:27 AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS TO PROVIDE A REPORT REGARDING THE
11:42:31 PROGRESS CONCERNING WMBE ON THIS CONTRACT PERTAINING TO
11:42:37 HOW THIS COMPANY IS DOING ON THE 20% GOALS PERTAINING TO
11:42:41 THAT PROJECT.
11:42:43 SO MR. HEART IS PREPARED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON HOW GARNEY
11:42:54 COMPANY IS DOING ON THIS PROJECT WHICH WE ARE ABOUT
11:42:56 HALFWAY THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION ON.
11:42:58 HOWEVER, WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU ROLL UP THIS
11:43:04 MOTION AND THIS REPORT INTO THE PIPES REPORT THAT WE GIVE
11:43:09 SEMIANNUALLY AND I BELIEVE THIS COMES BACK IN MARCH, I
11:43:21 FORGET THE DATE ON THAT, TO JUST REPORT ON THIS
11:43:24 PARTICULAR PROJECT.
11:43:24 WE ASK THAT YOU ALIGN THESE TWO OR ROLL THIS ONE INTO THE
11:43:28 PIPES REPORT.
11:43:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:43:40 I THINK IT WAS MR. MANISCALCO'S MOTION ORIGINALLY.
11:43:44 I AM TOTALLY FINE WITH LUMPING THEM TOGETHER AND LETTING
11:43:49 STAFF COME BACK WITH A TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE WMBE PIPES
11:43:54 REPORT IN NOVEMBER, AND MAY OF EACH YEAR.
11:43:59 I JUST WANTED TO GET CONFIRMATION FROM THE CLERK THAT IN
11:44:08 THE MOTION, [~AUDIO DISTORTION~]
11:44:16 >>BRAD BAIRD: YES.
11:44:17 SO THIS -- THAT MOTION FOR THE SEMIANNUAL REPORT WAS MADE
11:44:24 ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2019, YOU KNOW, ASSOCIATED WITH THE
11:44:29 APPROVAL OF THE ENTIRE PIPES PROGRAM.
11:44:34 AND THEN THIS REPORT WAS GIVEN IN DECEMBER OF 2019.
11:44:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MY QUESTION IS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE
11:44:43 SURE IT'S A STANDING MOTION THAT WILL MOVE IN PERPETUITY
11:44:48 AS LONG AS PIPES EXISTS.
11:44:54 >>BRAD BAIRD: IT IS A STANDING MOTION.
11:44:55 IF I MAY READ IT, MR. CHAIR.
11:44:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
11:44:58 >>BRAD BAIRD: STAFF TO APPEAR AND PROVIDE A REPORT TO
11:45:02 COUNCIL EVERY SIX MONTHS FOR AS LONG AS THE RATE HEADACHE
11:45:07 IS IN PLACE REGARDING THE PROGRESS OF CONSTRUCTION AND
11:45:09 ALSO A REPORT ON THE WMBE PROGRESS.
11:45:13 AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE MANY MOTIONS MADE ON SEPTEMBER
11:45:19 5th.
11:45:20 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT'S IT, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:45:24 I AM COMFORTABLE STRIKING NUMBER 56 AND ELIMINATING IT
11:45:28 FROM OUR FUTURE AGENDA.
11:45:33 I THINK IT'S DUPLICATIVE OF WHAT WE ARE ALREADY DOING IN
11:45:36 NOVEMBER AND MAY.
11:45:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
11:45:41 DO YOU WANT TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE FOUGHT SO IT'S NOT
11:45:45 REPETITIVE AND KEEP IT MOVING, CORRECT?
11:45:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IN THE FUTURE --
11:46:00 >>> WE HAVE A MOTION B COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
11:46:03 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
11:46:04 SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN GUDES.
11:46:05 I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS NEED A ROLL CALL VOTE.
11:46:09 IS THERE ANY OBJECTION?
11:46:12 ANY OBJECTION?
11:46:14 HEARING NONE, BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
11:46:16 OBJECTION, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S MOTION PASSES.
11:46:21 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:46:24 I BELIEVE THAT CONCLUDE THE AGENDA.
11:46:27 WE'LL GO TO INFORMATION REPORTS AND NEW BUSINESS BY
11:46:30 COUNCIL MEMBERS.
11:46:31 COUNCILMAN VIERA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TODAY, SIR?
11:46:34 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR, I DO.
11:46:38 LET ME FIND MY NOTES, IF WE MAY.
11:46:42 CAN WE HAVE THE PERSON THAT GOES AFTER ME GO?
11:46:45 >> COUNCILMAN GUDES, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR NEW
11:46:47 BUSINESS TODAY?
11:46:48 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR.
11:46:51 I TALKED WITH -- I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT LEGAL
11:46:55 DEPARTMENT AND HOUSING DIVISION COME BACK AND DO A FULL
11:46:59 REPORT, THE SITUATION REGARD WITH REFERENCE TO SOME TYPE
11:47:13 OF SITUATION INVOLVING THIS PROJECT, AND I WOULD LIKE TO
11:47:17 HAVE A CLEAR UPDATE BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY CALLS ME SAYING
11:47:24 WE MAKE SURE THAT MUCH -- SO IF I CAN HAVE A SECOND TO
11:47:34 THAT, LEGAL AND HOUSING COME BACK FOR A REPORT ON THE
11:47:38 PROPOSED FOUNDATION.
11:47:39 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT DATE DO YOU HAVE?
11:47:43 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I DON'T HAVE THAT SHEET THAT SHOWS.
11:47:54 I WOULD SAY WITHIN 30 DAYS.
11:47:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO YOU WANT TO HAVE MS. ZELMAN WHO
11:47:59 IS ON THE LINE TO COME BACK?
11:48:00 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I'M SORRY, ANDREA ZELMAN, DEPUTY CITY
11:48:07 ATTORNEY.
11:48:08 I THINK SIXTY DAYS WOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR US TO BE ABLE
11:48:11 TO REPORT BACK TO YOU.
11:48:12 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT WILL BE FINE.
11:48:14 THAT WILL BE FINE.
11:48:17 WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US?
11:48:21 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WOULD THAT BE NOVEMBER?
11:48:23 YOU HAVE NOVEMBER 19th DATE.
11:48:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT WILL BE FINE.
11:48:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN
11:48:35 GUDES.
11:48:35 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
11:48:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND, CITRO.
11:48:41 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
11:48:42 DO WE HAVE ANY OBJECTION?
11:48:44 HEARING NONE, BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT WITHOUT OBJECTION, THE
11:48:48 MOTION PASSES.
11:48:49 ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCILMAN GUDES?
11:48:50 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT'S IT, SIR.
11:48:52 THANK YOU.
11:48:52 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, DO YOU HAVE
11:48:54 ANYTHING FOR NEW BUSINESS?
11:48:55 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
11:48:57 CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY?
11:48:58 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
11:48:59 AND WE WILL GO BACK TO VIERA AFTER COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
11:49:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
11:49:05 TWO ITEMS.
11:49:06 ONE IS JUST INTERNAL.
11:49:09 ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA TODAY, MS. ZELMAN AND I HAVE
11:49:12 CORRESPONDED ON THIS BRIEFLY.
11:49:15 THIS WAS SORT OF AN AFTER-THE-FACT APPROVAL OF AN
11:49:18 EMERGENCY PURCHASE ORDER -- NO, ACTUALLY IT WAS A
11:49:23 DIFFERENT ITEM.
11:49:24 BUT ANYWAY, THE CONVENTION CENTER NEEDED TO DO AN
11:49:27 EMERGENCY PURCHASE ORDER, AND WE APPROVED IT.
11:49:33 I ASKED MS. ZELMAN, DO WE HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE IN
11:49:36 TERMS OF AN ORDINANCE AND THAT SORT OF THING?
11:49:39 AND WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON IT A LITTLE BIT.
11:49:41 SO I WOULD LIKE TO SORT OF FLUSH THIS OUT A LITTLE BIT,
11:49:45 SIXTY DAYS FROM NOW, ASK LEGAL TO COME BACK WITH A REPORT
11:49:48 ON THAT ISSUE OF DO WE NEED TO ADDRESS OR AMEND ANY
11:49:53 ORDINANCES OR OTHER PROVISIONS AS RELATED TO THE CITY
11:49:58 COUNCIL APPROVING AFTER THE FACT PURCHASE ORDERS?
11:50:02 I HAVE IN A PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY SITUATION.
11:50:06 AND THE RESPONSE OF THE ADMINISTRATION IN DOING WHAT THEY
11:50:09 DID.
11:50:10 BUT IT APPEARS WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A CODIFIED PROCESS.
11:50:14 BUT THAT WOULD JUST BE A MOTION.
11:50:17 MR. SHELBY, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS?
11:50:21 >>MARTIN SHELBY: RIGHT NOW, DECEMBER 3rd IS REALLY
11:50:25 NOT PRESSING, DECEMBER 3rd IS WIDE OPEN RIGHT NOW.
11:50:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO DECEMBER 3rd IS FINE UNDER
11:50:31 STAFF REPORTS.
11:50:31 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GREAT.
11:50:34 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
11:50:38 SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN GUDES.
11:50:39 ANY OBJECTION?
11:50:42 HEARING NONE, BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT COUNCILMAN
11:50:48 DINGFELDER'S PASSES FOR A DECEMBER 3rd MEETING UNDER
11:50:51 STAFF REPORTS.
11:50:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THE SECOND ONE IS EXTERNAL, AND I
11:50:55 WOULD MATE NEED MR. SHELBY'S ASSISTANCE ON THIS.
11:50:59 I THINK WE HAVE ALL READ IN THE PAPER AND ONLINE THAT
11:51:03 PINELLAS COUNTY IS CONSIDERING ELIMINATING THEIR
11:51:06 REQUIREMENTS FOR MASKS.
11:51:12 ON A PERSONAL LEVEL AND SCIENTIFIC LEVEL, I DO HAVE TWO
11:51:16 SCIENCE DEGREES BEFORE I WENT TO LAW SCHOOL, I THINK
11:51:19 THAT'S REALLY CONTRARY TO SCIENCE.
11:51:23 MORE IMPORTANTLY, READING AN ARTICLE HERE, THE MEDICAL
11:51:28 DIRECTOR FROM PINELLAS MEDICAL SERVICES, WARNED THE
11:51:34 COUNTY COMMISSION SHOULD NOT DO THIS, HE SAID THE EXPERT
11:51:38 OPINIONS OUT THERE DON'T SUPPORT THE -- THAT MASKS ARE
11:51:43 VALUABLE IN PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF VIRUS.
11:51:46 SO I BELIEVE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS STILL ON BOARD WITH
11:51:50 THAT.
11:51:50 BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOW WE ARE A REGION.
11:51:53 WE ARE A REGION WHERE PEOPLE TRAVEL ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND
11:51:55 GO TO WORK AND THEY GO SHOPPING, AND WE ARE NOT JUST ONE
11:52:00 COUNTY SEPARATED BY ANOTHER COUNTY.
11:52:01 WE ARE A REGION.
11:52:03 AS SUCH, MR. SHELBY, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO, HAVE
11:52:08 COUNCIL EITHER DO A VOTE AND A RESOLUTION TO URGE
11:52:14 PINELLAS COUNTY, I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS TO BE IN WRITING,
11:52:17 BUT URGING PINELLAS COUNTY TO STAY THE COURSE AND
11:52:20 CONTINUE TO REQUIRE MASKS UNTIL AS A REGION WE ALL DECIDE
11:52:28 THAT THE THREAT IS ELIMINATED.
11:52:29 AND A VACCINE WE DON'T KNOW.
11:52:35 BUT RIGHT NOW I THINK IT'S PREMATURE TO ELIMINATE IT.
11:52:39 ANY JURISDICTION IN THIS REGION.
11:52:48 BY THE WAY, THIS IS TOTALLY IN SUPPORT OF MAYOR CASTOR'S
11:52:51 DECISION.
11:52:53 >>LUIS VIERA: VIERA SECOND, IF I MAY.
11:52:55 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. SHELBY?
11:52:58 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, IF WE CAN, JUST FLUSH OUT THE
11:53:01 MOTION OR THE INTENTION.
11:53:03 SO WE GET DIRECTION.
11:53:06 I WOULD THINK THAT MAYOR CASTOR HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH
11:53:14 MAYOR KRISEMAN AND HIS STAFF RELATIVE TO THIS ITEM.
11:53:18 WHAT I THINK THE INTENTION OF COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S
11:53:22 MOTION IS TO SHOW CITY COUNCIL'S POSITION, AND TO ADD
11:53:27 CITY COUNCIL'S SUPPORT TO THAT POSITION.
11:53:29 THE QUICKEST WAY TO DO IT WOULD BE IN THE FORM OF A
11:53:31 LETTER AT THE DIRECTION OF COUNCIL AND VOTE OF COUNCIL BY
11:53:37 THE CHAIR, THROUGH THE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF PINELLAS
11:53:41 COUNTY COMMISSION, REITERATING THAT POSITION, AND PERHAPS
11:53:45 COORDINATING WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AS THE BEST WAY TO
11:53:48 BE ABLE TO FRAME THAT.
11:53:50 SO A LETTER COULD PROBABLY BE DONE SOONER.
11:53:54 AND A VOTE -- THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE IS THE ACTION
11:53:57 SUMMARY AND EVENTUALLY THE MINUTES.
11:53:58 SO IF YOU WANT A MEMORIALIZATION OF IT, MY RECOMMENDATION
11:54:01 QUICKLY WOULD BE A LETTER, TO COME BACK AT A FUTURE
11:54:05 AGENDA COULD BE A RESOLUTION.
11:54:06 BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY TIME SENSITIVE MATTER.
11:54:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. SHELBY, I APPRECIATE THAT.
11:54:11 MR. CHAIRMAN, I WILL JUST SUGGEST MR. SHELBY'S OPINION.
11:54:18 I WOULD LIKE US TO VOTE AND DELEGATE AND REQUEST THAT THE
11:54:23 CHAIRMAN HAVE UNANIMOUS SUPPORT OF CITY COUNCIL IN
11:54:29 WRITING, AND MR. SHELBY, ANY STAFF CAN HOPEFULLY ADDRESS
11:54:35 THAT.
11:54:35 >> I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
11:54:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN
11:54:41 VIERA.
11:54:42 AND I'M HAPPY TO WRITE THAT LETTER.
11:54:45 I DO HAVE AN ENGLISH DEGREE AND I WON THE SPELLING BEE IN
11:54:50 8th GRADE.
11:54:52 IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO THE MOTION?
11:54:56 HEARING NONE, BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, THE MOTION PASSES.
11:54:59 THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
11:55:00 WE NOW GO BACK TO COUNCILMAN VIERA FOR NEW BUSINESS.
11:55:03 COUNCILMAN VIERA.
11:55:04 >>LUIS VIERA: I MOTION TO GIVE COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO A
11:55:10 COMMENDATION FOR WINNING THE 8th GRADE SPELLING BEE.
11:55:13 JUST KIDDING.
11:55:14 [ LAUGHTER ]
11:55:18 BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, RIGHT?
11:55:20 JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS, IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR.
11:55:22 I APPRECIATE IT.
11:55:23 I MOTION FOR CITY STAFF TOP LOOK INTO INCORPORATING AND
11:55:26 RECOGNIZING OR INCORPORATING A PUBLIC RECOGNITION OF
11:55:30 SHIRLEY RACEBERG RENAMING, RENAMING A PLAQUE.
11:55:38 SHE WILL BE RETIRING FROM PARKS AND RECREATION AFTER
11:55:41 44th 3 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH THE CITY.
11:55:44 34 OF THOSE AT THE FOREST HIMSELF CENTER AND FURTHER SAID
11:55:48 REPORT A WITH BE BROUGHT BEFORE CITY COUNCIL AT A REGULAR
11:55:50 CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON NOVEMBER 5th.
11:55:54 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
11:55:56 WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CITRO.
11:56:01 ANY DISCUSSION, COMMENTS, ANYBODY?
11:56:06 NOT HEARING ANY OBJECTION, HEARING NO OBJECTION BY
11:56:09 UNANIMOUS CONSENT, THE MOTION PASSES.
11:56:10 ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCILMAN VIERA?
11:56:13 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR.
11:56:13 JUST TWO REALLY QUICKLY A.MOTION FOR COMMENDATION FOR
11:56:19 WINNING FIRST PLACE IN THE 2019 AND RECENT LIP NATIONAL
11:56:24 HISTORY DAY PROJECT LOPEZ, AND THE COMMENDATION BE

11:56:32 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND, CITRO.
11:56:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
11:56:37 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO. BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT THE
11:56:40 MOTION PASSES.
11:56:41 ANYTHING ELSE?
11:56:42 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR.
11:56:43 AND I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN INVOLVED WITH RESIDENTS OVER IN
11:56:47 THE NORTH TAMPA AREA AT 113th STREET GETTING THE CITY
11:56:51 AND COUNTY INVOLVED.
11:56:54 IT WAS A WONDERFUL ARTICLE -- A TROUBLING ARTICLE, I
11:56:56 SHOULD SAY, IN THE TAMPA BAY TIMES OF RESIDENTS THAT
11:56:59 JUST, YOU KNOW, REALLY GOT TO ME.
11:57:01 AND I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND
11:57:06 HOPE THAT THEY DO BETTER.
11:57:08 WE HAVE A FOLLOW-UP MEETING SET I BELIEVE IT IS NEXT
11:57:10 WEEK.
11:57:10 I WENT OUT AND MET WITH THE RESIDENTS THAT CAROLE POST
11:57:15 AND GOOD FOLKS FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT AND OTHERS WILL BE
11:57:17 GOING BACK IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
11:57:19 BUT IT KIND OF BRINGS UP A LARGER ISSUE.
11:57:21 AND I WANT TO MOTION FOR CITY STAFF, HOUSING AND
11:57:25 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION, ADMINISTRATIVE
11:57:27 DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, TO PRESENT THE LIVE
11:57:29 REPORT BEFORE COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 22ND WORKSHOP, TO
11:57:36 DISCUSS HOW THE CITY OF TAMPA IS WORKING WITH RESOURCE
11:57:39 DATA PARTNERS SUCH AS TAMPA HOMELESS COUNTY, THE CLERK'S
11:57:45 OFFICE, ET CETERA, 211, IN HELPING TO CONNECT RENTERS
11:57:50 STRUGGLING WITH EVICTIONS TO RESOURCES, ESPECIALLY IN THE
11:57:53 WAKE OF COVID-19.
11:57:54 AND WHAT RESOURCES CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE IN ASSISTING
11:58:00 APARTMENT RENTERS WHO ARE BEHIND FOR COVID -- STRIKE
11:58:04 THAT, BEHIND IN THEIR RENT DUPE TO COVID RELATED ISSUES.
11:58:08 WHAT WE AS A CITY AND COUNCIL MEMBERS DO TO HELP THESE
11:58:10 FOLKS?
11:58:12 I AM NOT GOING TO INCLUDE CODE ENFORCEMENT.
11:58:17 I MAY AMEND THAT LATER ON.
11:58:19 BUT I WILL JUST LEAVE MY MOTION.
11:58:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA A.DO WE
11:58:27 HAVE A SECOND?
11:58:28 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND, CITRO.
11:58:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CITRO.
11:58:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIR, I CONGRATULATE MR. VIERA ON
11:58:39 HIS EFFORTS.
11:58:39 I AM SO FAMILIAR.
11:58:41 THE FIRST APARTMENT I HAD UP THERE ON 113th, WHEN I
11:58:47 FIRST CAME TO THE CITY OF TAMPA, AND SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT
11:58:52 WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE.
11:58:54 THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.
11:58:56 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN GUDES.
11:58:58 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, ANY OBJECTION?
11:58:59 HEARING NONE BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT THE MOTION PASSES.
11:59:02 ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCILMAN VIERA?
11:59:04 >>LUIS VIERA: NO, MR. CHAIR.
11:59:06 THANK YOU, SIR.
11:59:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON?
11:59:09 >>BILL CARLSON: YES, SIR, THANK YOU.
11:59:11 JUST A COUPLE QUICK COMMENTS.
11:59:14 MY COLLEAGUES WILL KNOW THAT WITH OUR VOTE LAST NIGHT,
11:59:18 THERE WERE A LOT OF VERY UPSET PEOPLE, DISAPPOINTED IN
11:59:22 THE VOTE, AND ALSO DISAPPOINTED IN THE DIRECTION THAT
11:59:25 THINGS WENT.
11:59:26 I WAS ON THE PHONE TILL AT LEAST MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT AND
11:59:29 STARTING EARLY THIS MORNING RECEIVING CALLS FROM PEOPLE
11:59:33 THAT SPOKE OUT AND CALLING SOME OF THEM.
11:59:36 I WOULD JUST ASK -- I'M SURE YOU ALL ARE DOING IT, THAT
11:59:40 YOU ALL REACH OUT AND TALK TO AS MANY FOLKS AS POSSIBLE
11:59:45 AND HOPEFULLY GIVE HOPE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE
11:59:48 CONTINUING TO ADDRESS THIS USUAL YOU.
11:59:50 I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS WE HAVE BEEN DOING OVER
11:59:54 THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE
11:59:56 KNOW THAT BUT HELP WITH THE ISSUES WE NEED TO FACE GOING
11:59:59 FORWARD.
12:00:00 HOPEFULLY, WE'LL BUILD BRIDGES, AS WE LISTEN TO ALL THE
12:00:04 DIFFERENT VOICES IN THE COMMUNITY.
12:00:05 ONE THING IN PARTICULAR THAT FOLKS CONTINUE TO WANT IS
12:00:10 SEPARATE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM.
12:00:11 I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TODAY.
12:00:13 I WOULD ASK EVERYBODY TO CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT THIS,
12:00:15 FOR THE ADMINISTRATION TO CONTINUE AND THINK ABOUT IT.
12:00:18 IT WAS COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S PROPOSAL.
12:00:20 BUT THERE'S STILL HEY NINTH THAT.
12:00:23 AND I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE AND TALK TO
12:00:26 STAFF AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE SOME KIND OF
12:00:29 PROPOSAL ON THAT.
12:00:29 ALSO, MONTHS AGO WHEN THEY STARTED WE ASKED THE POLICE
12:00:34 DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATE WITH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND
12:00:38 RESIDENTS TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN
12:00:40 PROTESTS COME THROUGH YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?
12:00:42 SHOULD YOU TAKE OUT FOOD AND WATER OR SHOULD YOU STAY IN
12:00:45 YOUR HOUSE, AND THINK THERE'S STILL NO AWARENESS OF WHAT
12:00:50 TO DO.
12:00:51 I AM GETTING LOTS OF CALLS FROM PEOPLE WONDERING WHAT THE
12:00:53 PROTOCOL IS, WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING, AND I PRESUME
12:00:56 THAT THE POLICE AND THE CITY HAVE BEEN ADVISING THE
12:00:59 PROTESTORS ON WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN'T DO.
12:01:02 BUT I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT SOMEBODY IS ADVISING
12:01:05 NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS AND ALSO RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE
12:01:08 COMMUNITY AS TO WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO.
12:01:11 AND WITHOUT MENTIONING ANY SPECIFIC CASES, I THINK IN
12:01:14 PARTICULAR WE HAVE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT'S NOT
12:01:17 ACCEPTABLE TO COMMIT CRIMES AND IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE TO
12:01:20 RUN OVER PEDESTRIANS.
12:01:22 SO WE NEED TO MAKE SOME STRONG STATEMENTS, AND IF THE
12:01:27 POLICE ADVISE US TO PASS ANY ADDITIONAL ORDINANCES, WE
12:01:30 CAN DO THAT.
12:01:31 ADDITIONALLY, NEXT WEEK, WE HAVE WE HAVE A DISCUSSION
12:01:37 ABOUT REGULATING THE POLICE, AND WE ALSO HAVE DISCUSSION
12:01:39 ABOUT THE CITIZEN REVIEW BOARD.
12:01:41 AND I THINK THOSE ARE BOTH TOPICS THAT WE CAN HEAR FROM
12:01:44 EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT IN PARTICULAR WE SHOULD
12:01:46 LISTEN TO THE FOLKS WHO SPOKE OUT LAST NIGHT.

12:06:54 ATTENTION.
12:06:54 BUT I WOULD ALSO RESPECTFULLY URGE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO
12:06:58 TALK TO CONSTITUENTS ABOUT THE MANY WONDERFUL THINGS THAT
12:07:00 THIS BUDGET DOES IN OUR COMMUNITY, CORE CRITICAL
12:07:05 IMPROVEMENTS IN AREAS SUCH AS EAST TAMPA, $18 MILLION
12:07:10 WORTH OF RECREATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT EAST TAMPA,
12:07:14 AND AN ALL-ABILITY AUTISM PARK IN NEW TAMPA, IMPROVEMENTS
12:07:16 TO THE FOREST HILLS REC CENTER, NUMEROUS TRANSPORTATION
12:07:20 AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.
12:07:22 SO MANY DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY THIS
12:07:24 BUDGET.
12:07:25 THIS BUDGET IS A BUDGET THAT WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL
12:07:27 WELFARE ISSUES MEETS THE PEOPLE'S NEEDS DURING A
12:07:32 PANDEMIC.
12:07:32 SO WHILE THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ISSUES ARE CRITICAL
12:07:36 IMPORTANCE, AND AGAIN THAT IS NOT TO MINIMIZE THEM, I
