01:47:28 (COMMENCING WITH NO AUDIO, MEETING IN PROGRESS,
01:47:28 LIVESTREAM NON-FUNCTIONING.)
02:06:50 >> ... BE SECURED DURING NON-OPERATIONAL HOURS, AND I
02:06:50 JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT FOR THE RECORD, AND I'LL DEFER TO
02:06:50 MELANIE CALLOWAY FOR THE LANGUAGE FOR THE LEFT-TURN ONLY
02:06:50 ON THE GRAY STREET AREA.
02:10:17 >>MELANIE CALLOWAY: CAN YOU HEAR ME?
02:10:19 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
02:10:20 >> MELANIE CALLOWAY, TRANSPORTATION PLANNING.
02:10:23 SO YOU CAN HAVE A NOTE ON THE PLAN THAT SAYS THEY APPLIED
02:10:28 FOR A RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMIT FOR ANY MODIFICATIONS TO A
02:10:32 DRIVEWAY ALONG GRAY STREET.
02:10:33 THAT SHOULD BE ADEQUATE.
02:10:36 THEY DO HAVE TO GO THROUGH A RIGHT-OF-WAY USE PERMIT AND
02:10:39 THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET APPROVED USING STANDARDS THAT
02:10:41 THEY HAVE TO MEET ALL OF THAT.
02:10:43 TO BE ABLE TO PUT ANY TYPE OF TURN LIMITATION.
02:10:51 >>CHAIRMAN: DO WE MOVE TO OPEN, OR REOPEN?
02:11:01 >>DAVID MECHANIK: DAVID MECHANIK FOR THE RECORD.
02:11:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF YOU WANT, EVEN THOUGH -- I ASSUME
02:11:09 THE MOTION IS STILL ON THE FLOOR.
02:11:13 DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION?
02:11:14 >>LUIS VIERA: SO MOVED.
02:11:15 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CITRO.
02:11:18 ALL IN FAVOR?
02:11:19 ANY OPPOSED?
02:11:20 ALL RIGHT.
02:11:20 GO AHEAD, SIR.
02:11:22 >>DAVID MECHANIK: DAVID MECHANIK AGAIN FOR THE RECORD.
02:11:24 I THINK THAT WHAT RYAN AND MELANIE DESCRIBED ARE
02:11:30 APPROPRIATE TO BE INCLUDED, INCORPORATED INTO THE MOTION.
02:11:35 I THINK WHAT MR. VIERA SAID, THOUGH, IS THAT THE
02:11:40 RIGHT-OF-WAY APPLICATION WOULD BE FOR PURPOSES OF AN
02:11:43 IMPROVEMENT WHICH WOULD DETER LEFT HAND TURNING MOVEMENTS
02:11:50 OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY THAT EXISTS
02:11:54 TODAY THERE.
02:11:56 SO I THINK YOU WOULD WANT TO INCLUDE THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S
02:11:58 THE PURPOSE OF WHY YOU ARE ADDING THAT.
02:12:01 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WITH REGARD TO THE HEIGHT --
02:12:08 >>DAVID MECHANIK: I WOULD HAVE TO ASK RANDY COEN.
02:12:10 I GUESS THERE'S A STANDARD DRIVEWAY KIND OF GATE THAT WE
02:12:12 WOULD USE.
02:12:13 MR. COHEN, ARE YOU THERE?
02:12:15 >> RANDY COEN: I WOULD SUGGEST A 4-FOOT METAL GATE, THE
02:12:23 DESIGN, THAT WE COULD TAKE CARE OF TO RESTRICT VEHICLES
02:12:27 COMING IN AND OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN IT'S LOCKED SO
02:12:30 FOUR FEET WOULD BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT.
02:12:33 >>DAVID MECHANIK: IT WOULD NOT BE LIKE A FENCE.
02:12:35 USUALLY THEY HAVE BARS, LIKE METAL TUBING, WHICH PREVENTS
02:12:38 A CAR FROM GOING THROUGH, BUT IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY
02:12:42 PREVENT A PEDESTRIAN FROM WALKING THROUGH.
02:12:45 IT'S NOT LIKE A SOLID FENCE.
02:12:47 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AS LONG AS THE HEARING IS OPEN, LET
02:12:53 ME ASK A QUESTION.
02:12:54 MS. CALLOWAY, CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY?
02:12:57 OKAY.
02:12:59 >>MELANIE CALLOWAY: YES.
02:12:59 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO WHAT YOU DESCRIBED IS LANGUAGE
02:13:02 THAT COULD GO ON THE PD THAT WOULD SAY THAT THE
02:13:07 PETITIONER COULD APPLY FOR IT, FOR THE DIRECTIONAL
02:13:16 BARRIERS ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY BUT THERE'S NO GUARANTEES
02:13:19 THEY CAN GET THAT APPROVAL BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
02:13:22 CONDITIONS ARE THERE, RIGHT, AS WE SIT HERE TODAY,
02:13:24 CORRECT?
02:13:26 >>MELANIE CALLOWAY: CORRECT.
02:13:26 SO THEY MAY APPLY TO EVEN CHANNELIZE THE DRIVEWAY IN THE
02:13:30 RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD BE APPLYING FOR IN
02:13:35 THE RIGHT-OF-WAY TO CHANNELIZE THE DRIVEWAY.
02:13:37 BUT AT THIS POINT WE DON'T HAVE A DESIGN, WE DON'T NOTICE
02:13:40 WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, SO ONCE YOU APPLY FOR THAT
02:13:43 RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMIT, IT HAS TO MEET ALL TRANSPORTATION
02:13:46 TECHNICAL STANDARD, AND ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS, AND IT
02:13:50 WOULD HAVE TO MEET THAT FOR IT TO BE APPROVED.
02:13:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO THERE'S NO GUARANTEES THERE.
02:13:56 AND IN REGARD TO WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT GRAY, IN
02:13:59 REGARD TO THE FOLKS WHO MIGHT WANT TO GO OUT NORTH OF THE
02:14:05 ALLEY AND LEAVE ON CARMEN, I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE ANYBODY
02:14:11 HAS TALKED ABOUT THAT IN TERMS OF TRYING TO CHANNELIZE
02:14:15 THAT.
02:14:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO: IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR, PLEASE.
02:14:19 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
02:14:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR THE NORTH AND
02:14:23 SOUTH AND EXITS TO HAVE THE SO-CALLED DIVERSION PORK
02:14:26 CHOP.
02:14:27 SO I DID SAY THE NORTH AND SOUTH.
02:14:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I KNOW YOU DID, JOE, AND THAT'S WHY I
02:14:31 BROUGHT IT UP BECAUSE THE MOTION AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW
02:14:34 ONLY SPEAKS TO THE GRAY PART BECAUSE THE GRAY PART IS ON
02:14:39 POTENTIALLY ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.
02:14:41 BUT THE ALLEY GOING UP TO CARMEN IS 100% PUBLIC PROPERTY.
02:14:47 AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE PETITIONER SAID THEY DON'T EVEN
02:14:50 OWN EITHER SIDE OF THAT ALLEY UP ON THE CARMEN SIDE.
02:14:54 THAT'S MY POINT, JOE, IS THE MOTION DOESN'T INCLUDE THAT.
02:15:01 >>MELANIE CALLOWAY: THE ALLEY IS -- THAT'S 10 FEET WIDE.
02:15:05 SO THE DRIVEWAY IS VERY NARROW.
02:15:07 I DON'T BELIEVE WE COULD CHANNELIZE THE ALLEY ON CARMEN
02:15:10 IN ANY WAY, BUT TO GRAY STREET WOULD HAVE OPPORTUNITY
02:15:15 MAYBE, IF IT MEETS SOME TYPE OF CHANNELIZATION, GOING
02:15:19 THROUGH A RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMIT.
02:15:21 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MELANIE.
02:15:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:15:24 COUNCILMAN VIERA.
02:15:25 >>LUIS VIERA: I CAN CERTAINLY AMENDED FOR NOT ARE NORTH
02:15:28 AND SOUTH SOUTH AS REFERENCED BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER
02:15:31 AND REQUESTED BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
02:15:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BUT STAFF HAS ALREADY TOLD US THERE'S
02:15:36 NO OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PETITIONER -- IT'S NOT A
02:15:39 PETITIONER ISSUE ON THE NORTH SIDE.
02:15:41 ON THE CARMEN SIDE.
02:15:43 THAT'S TOTALLY A CITY ISSUE.
02:15:49 CATE?
02:15:50 DO YOU WANT TO CONFIRM THAT?
02:15:52 >>CATE WELLS: YES, MS. CALLOWAY CONFIRMED IT'S PUBLIC
02:15:56 RIGHT-OF-WAY, IT'S OFF-SITE, SO IT'S ONE THING TO LOOK AT
02:16:01 THE DIRECTIONAL DRIVEWAY ON THE PROPERTY GOING INTO THE
02:16:05 RIGHT-OF-WAY ON GRAY STREET.
02:16:07 BUT CARMEN, THAT IS ACCESSED THROUGH AN ALLEY.
02:16:10 IT'S PUBLIC ACCESS.
02:16:12 SO THAT WOULD BE, I BELIEVE, BEYOND THE PETITION FOR THAT
02:16:18 REASON.
02:16:19 IT'S PROPERTY NOT CONTROLLED BY THE APPLICANT.
02:16:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN, I KNOW WE ARE TRYING TO
02:16:29 MITIGATE THINGS, BUT WHAT I AM HEARING, I DON'T SEE A LOT
02:16:33 OF MITIGATION.
02:16:34 I'M HEARING STAFF, AND I HATE TO BUILD PEOPLE UP TO BURST
02:16:40 THEIR BUBBLE.
02:16:40 I JUST DON'T SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING.
02:16:42 I KNOW WE ARE TRYING TO LOOK AT SOME DIFFERENT AVENUES
02:16:47 HERE, BUT I JUST DON'T SEE THE AVENUES.
02:16:52 AND I THINK WE NEED TO MOVE WITH A MOTION SO WE CAN MOVE
02:16:57 ON.
02:16:57 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. MECHANIK, DID YOU WANT TO ADD
02:17:02 ANYTHING AS A RESULT OF WHAT YOU HEARD MS. CALLOWAY SAY?
02:17:10 >>DAVID MECHANIK: DAVID MECHANIK FOR THE RECORD.
02:17:11 I MEAN, WE HAVE OFFERED TO DO WHATEVER ANYBODY HAS ASKED
02:17:15 US TO DO, SO IT'S PRETTY FRUSTRATING FOR US TO BE LOOKING
02:17:22 AT THE POSSIBILITY OF A DENIAL WHEN WE HAVE ESSENTIALLY
02:17:24 SAID WE'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT US TO DO.
02:17:29 CONTROLLING THAT ALLEY IS THE CITY'S PURVIEW, SO THE CITY
02:17:33 COULD MAKE A DETERMINATION TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT
02:17:36 ALLEY.
02:17:37 BUT WE CAN'T CONTROL THAT.
02:17:39 WE CAN'T DO THAT.
02:17:43 THEY SAID WE CAN'T PUT A CONDITION TO DO THAT, OR
02:17:46 OTHERWISE WE WOULD AGREE TO DO THAT, TOO.
02:17:48 I WOULD LIKE TO JUST POINT OUT, WE ARE NOT EXPANDING THE
02:17:52 MEDICAL PRACTICE, SO THERE IS NO INCREASED TRAFFIC.
02:17:58 ALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS ACCOMMODATING CARS THAT ARE
02:18:02 CURRENTLY WONDERING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKING FOR A
02:18:06 PARKING SPACE.
02:18:09 SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A TOTALLY LOGICAL STANDPOINT,
02:18:12 YOU DON'T REALLY NEED THESE SIDE BARS.
02:18:16 I HATE TO SAY IT, WE ARE AGREEING TO WHATEVER YOU ALL
02:18:19 WANT, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE'S NO MORE TRAFFIC
02:18:22 THAT WILL BE THERE.
02:18:24 IT'S JUST WE ARE CORRALLING ITSELF IN THE NEW EXPANDED
02:18:27 PARKING LOT.
02:18:28 TODAY, THOSE CARS ARE GOING WHEREVER THE HECK THEY CAN
02:18:32 FIND A SPACE.
02:18:33 I MEAN, THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A POSITIVE THING, NOT A
02:18:37 NEGATIVE THING.
02:18:38 BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY.
02:18:40 THANK YOU.
02:18:40 >>LUIS VIERA: MOTION TO CLOSE.
02:18:45 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND BY COUNCILMAN GUDES.
02:18:47 ALL IN FAVOR?
02:18:49 ALL RIGHT.
02:18:50 COUNCILMAN VIERA, YOU HAVE THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
02:18:52 DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMEMBER VIERA'S MOTION?
02:18:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND.
02:18:58 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER
02:19:00 CITRO.
02:19:01 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST FOR THE PURPOSES OF
02:19:03 THE RECORD, IF YOU CAN, COUNCILMAN VIERA, JUST WITH
02:19:09 REGARD TO MAKING --
02:19:14 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:19:16 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IN SUPPORT OF YOUR MOTION.
02:19:17 >>LUIS VIERA: COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE ROLES,
02:19:20 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT
02:19:22 CODE, PROPOSED USE PROMOTES THE EFFICIENT SUSTAINABLE USE
02:19:26 OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
02:19:27 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN
02:19:31 VIERA.
02:19:31 A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CITRO.
02:19:33 ROLL CALL VOTE.
02:19:34 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
02:19:38 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NO.

02:19:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
02:19:53 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO.
02:19:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
02:19:58 >>THE CLERK: MOTION NOT CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER
02:20:04 DINGFELDER, COUNCILMEMBER CARLSON, COUNCILMEMBER CITRO --
02:20:15 >> NO.
02:20:19 MIRANDA, CARLSON, GOODS --
02:20:24 >>THE CLERK: COUNCILMEMBER MIRANDA, CARLSON DINGFELDER
02:20:26 AND --
02:20:28 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NO, I VOTED YES.
02:20:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: VIERA YES, CITRO YES, MANISCALCO
02:20:37 YES, EVERYBODY ELSE NO.
02:20:39 >>THE CLERK: MOTION FAILED WITH VIERA VOTING YES, CITRO
02:20:43 VOTING YES, AND THE REMAINING COUNCIL MEMBERS VOTING NO.
02:20:47 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, I VOTED YES AS WELL.
02:20:49 >>THE CLERK: WILL WE BE ABLE TO TAKE THE VOTE AGAIN
02:20:52 PLEASE?
02:20:53 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
02:20:54 >>THE CLERK: THANK YOU.
02:20:55 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, MA'AM.
02:20:59 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NO.
02:21:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NO.
02:21:04 >>BILL CARLSON: NO.
02:21:06 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
02:21:09 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO.
02:21:12 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
02:21:14 >>THE CLERK: THE MOTION FAILED WITH COUNCILMEMBER
02:21:18 DINGFELDER, COUNCILMEMBER GUDES, AND COUNCILMEMBER
02:21:22 MIRANDA AND COUNCILMEMBER CARLSON VOTING NO.
02:21:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHO WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ANOTHER STAB
02:21:30 AT THIS IN AN APPARENT DENIAL?
02:21:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'LL DO IT MR. CHAIRMAN.
02:21:39 THANK YOU.
02:21:41 FIRST LET ME LEAD OFF BY SAYING THAT THE PETITIONER'S
02:21:46 REPRESENTATIVE, MR. MECHANIK, AND MR. COEN, HAVE ALWAYS
02:21:52 DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB.
02:21:53 IT'S NO REFLECTION ON THEM.
02:21:55 BUT I DO BELIEVE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, I THINK AS
02:22:00 COUNCILMAN GUDES SORT OF ALLUDED TO, THAT THEY WERE
02:22:04 TRYING TO PUT A SQUARE PEG IN A ROUND HOLE.
02:22:07 THE PETITIONER IS ASKING FOR 29 MORE SPACES THAN EVEN THE
02:22:12 CODE REQUIRES, AND I AM GOING TO MOVE TO DENY THIS
02:22:16 PETITION REZ 20-63 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 501 NORTH
02:22:21 HOWARD AVENUE AND 2113 WEST GRAY AND 2114 AND 2118 WEST
02:22:28 CARMEN STREET DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET
02:22:31 ITS BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL
02:22:34 EVIDENCE THAT THE SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT
02:22:37 WITH TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE CITY CODE, AND THE
02:22:39 APPLICANT'S FAILURE TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF WITH
02:22:42 RESPECT TO THE REQUESTED WAIVERS.
02:22:44 SPECIFICALLY, I WOULD SAY THAT THE TESTIMONY THAT WE
02:22:47 HEARD FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD INCLUDING ONE TRANSPORTATION
02:22:51 EXPERT WHO HAPPENS TO BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WELL AS
02:22:54 OTHER COMPETENT TESTIMONY THAT WE HEARD, WOULD BE
02:22:58 INDICATE THAT THE PETITIONER HAS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH
02:23:01 THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES.
02:23:03 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SPECIFICALLY POLICY LAND USE
02:23:07 OBJECTIVE 9.3 AND POLICY 9.3.1 WHICH RELATES TO THE
02:23:11 PROTECTION OF STABLE NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:23:16 THE CURRENT EXISTING ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF RS-50 FOR
02:23:19 THE LOTS PROPOSED, THERE'S BEEN INADEQUATE TESTIMONY AND
02:23:26 EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY CHANGING THOSE LAND USE CATEGORIES
02:23:31 FROM RS-50 TO SOMETHING ELSE.
02:23:33 ALSO BELIEVE THEY FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE LAND
02:23:35 DEVELOPMENT CODE 27-136.
02:23:39 THE PURPOSE OF THE SITE PLAN CONTROL DISTRICT INCLUDES
02:23:43 THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN DOES
02:23:46 NOT PROMOTE OR ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S APPROPRIATE
02:23:50 IN THE LOCATION, CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE
02:23:52 SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT'S WHAT THE EVIDENCE, I
02:23:54 BELIEVE, I HEARD SUPPORTS.
02:23:57 MORE OVER, THAT THE PROPOSED USE DOES NOT PROMOTE THE
02:24:00 EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
02:24:03 AND THEN FINALLY, THAT THE WAIVERS REQUESTED UNDER 27-139
02:24:07 (4) THAT THEY FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF
02:24:13 THAT SUBSECTION, SPECIFICALLY THAT THE WAIVERS WILL
02:24:18 SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERE WITH AND INJURY THE RIGHTS OF
02:24:21 OTHERS, SPECIFICALLY THE RIGHTS OF JUST USES ADJACENT OR
02:24:27 CONTIGUOUS TO THE PROPOSED PARKING LOT.
02:24:29 THE DESIRE FOR THE WAIVERS DOESN'T NECESSARILY SUPPORT
02:24:33 THE FACT THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT COMPLY
02:24:37 WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
02:24:40 EXCUSE ME, NEITHER DESIRE FOR WAIVER NECESSARILY SUPPORTS
02:24:44 THE FACT THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT COMPLY
02:24:46 WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
02:24:48 FOR THOSE LENGTHY REASONS, I WILL MOVE TO DENY.
02:24:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: VERY GOOD.
02:24:55 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
02:24:57 WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER GUDES.
02:24:58 ROLL CALL VOTE.
02:24:59 >>LUIS VIERA: NO.
02:25:04 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
02:25:06 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
02:25:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
02:25:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NO.
02:25:13 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
02:25:15 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO.
02:25:18 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER VIERA,
02:25:21 COUNCILMEMBER CITRO, AND COUNCILMEMBER MANISCALCO VOTING
02:25:24 NO.
02:25:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

02:41:07 IN OTHER WORDS, IS IT A BAD IDEA TO ALLOW SOLID FENCING,

02:41:16 FROM A TPD PERSPECTIVE?
02:41:23 >> SO BASED ON TPD'S PERSPECTIVE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

02:43:20 DIRT BIKE SITUATION.
02:43:21 IF I COULD GET YOU TO SHARE MY SCREEN.
02:43:29 DO YOU SEE IT?
02:43:31 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NOT YET.
02:43:32 NOW WE CAN SEE IT.
02:43:33 >> SO A LITTLE HISTORY ON THAT.
02:43:42 A LITTLE HISTORY FROM THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT'S
02:43:44 PERSPECTIVE.
02:43:47 SO IN THE YEAR 2020, TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT RECEIVED 886
02:43:51 CALLS REFERENCING DIRT BIKE OR ATVs.
02:43:54 JUST TO KIND OF BRING THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE, THAT --
02:44:01 [~AUDIO DISTORTION~]
02:44:02 REPEAT CALLS, DUPLICATE CALLS, AND OF THOSE, 886 PROBABLY
02:44:10 GENERALLY COME IN CONTACT WITH BETWEEN 20 AND 25% UPON
02:44:14 OFFICER ARRIVAL THAT DAY WILL SEE OR GET IN CONTACT WITH
02:44:17 THE SUBJECTS ON THE VEHICLES.
02:44:20 IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO GET A LOT OF THOSE CALLS,
02:44:25 BUT IT DOES GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY, AND WE PERFECTED 26
02:44:29 ARRESTS ON THOSE CASES.
02:44:31 WE HAVE IDENTIFIED FATALITIES IN 2020 INVOLVING DIRT
02:44:36 BIKES AND ATVs ON CITY PUBLIC ROADS.
02:44:41 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:44:44 CASE EXAMPLES OF WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH.
02:44:46 IN DECEMBER THE 22ND, WE HAD AN ATV TRAFFIC STOP.
02:44:52 THAT TRAFFIC STOP FLED INTO THE AREA OF BELMONT HEIGHTS.
02:44:57 LUCKILY WE HAVE GOT SOME RESOURCES OUT THERE, AND AIR
02:45:00 SERVICE WAS ABLE TO PICK UP THAT VEHICLE AS IT FLED FROM
02:45:02 A TRAFFIC STOP.
02:45:04 THE OFFICERS WERE ABLE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE
02:45:06 INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS DRIVING THE ATV, HE WAS IN POSSESSION
02:45:10 OF A FIREARM DURING THE FOOT PURSUIT.
02:45:14 HAD SEVERAL OUTSTANDING FELONY WARRANTS AND NARCOTICS AT
02:45:19 THAT TIME.
02:45:21 WE ARE USING ALL THE RESOURCES WE HAVE, AND I THINK
02:45:27 ESSENTIAL RESOURCES, HAVE THE COMMUNITY HELP US WITH A
02:45:30 LOT OF THOSE THINGS.
02:45:31 BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, WE WANT TO LOOK AT SOME OTHER
02:45:34 THINGS.
02:45:34 AND IF I COULD GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE REAL QUICKLY.
02:45:40 MIKE SCHMID WILL GET INTO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE
02:45:42 HAVE, THE LAWS TO HELP US FIGHT THIS BATTLE.
02:45:46 >>MICHAEL SCHMID: ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY.
02:45:52 BASED ON OFFICER QUESTIONS AS WELL AS MOTION BY CITY
02:45:56 COUNCIL, I RESEARCHED SOME LEGAL OPTIONS CONCERNING
02:46:00 POSSIBLE ENFORCEMENT, EMPOWERMENT OF ATVs AND DIRT
02:46:05 BIKES.
02:46:06 WHEN I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS AREA OF THE LAW I CAME
02:46:09 ACROSS CHAPTER 317.
02:46:11 IT'S TITLED FLORIDA OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE TITLING ACT.
02:46:16 AND THE OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES ARE DEFINED AS ATV, DIRT
02:46:23 BIKES, RECREATIONAL OFF-ROAD VEHICLES, AND SO THAT WOULD
02:46:31 ENCOMPASS THE VEHICLES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, AND RIDING
02:46:34 ON THE PUBLIC STREETS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
02:46:36 SO ONCE I STARTED TO READ THROUGH CHAPTER 317, SEVERAL
02:46:41 TIMES TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT AND SEE WHAT POSSIBLE
02:46:44 PENALTIES WERE IN THERE, AND APPLIED TO, I DETERMINED
02:46:47 THAT CHAPTER 317 REQUIRES OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES, WHICH I
02:46:52 WILL REFER TO AS -- TO BE -- OHVs, TO BE TITLED WHEN
02:46:57 PURCHASED BY A RESIDENT OF FLORIDA AFTER JULY 1, 2002.
02:47:01 IT MAKES IT UNLAWFUL TO USE OHV WHICH A CERTIFICATE OF
02:47:08 TITLE IS REQUIRED.
02:47:10 IT MAKES IT UNLAWFUL TO REMOVE, ALTER, DEFACE OR COVER A
02:47:15 MOTOR OR VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND MAKES IT
02:47:18 UNLAWFUL TO TRANSFER DHV WITHOUT PROVIDING TITLE.
02:47:23 THERE ARE MANY LAWS WITHIN CHAPTER 317.
02:47:25 SOME OF THEM FELONIES.
02:47:26 SOME ARE MISDEMEANORS.
02:47:28 AND ONES THAT BECOME INFRACTIONS.
02:47:32 I ISSUED A LEGAL BULLETIN, 2021-01 ON MONDAY OF THIS WEEK
02:47:39 TO HELP PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO BE LAW ENFORCEMENT SO THAT
02:47:43 THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND CHAPTER 317, AND ENFORCEMENT
02:47:46 ACTIONS.
02:47:50 ONE OF THE POSSIBLE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS CONCERNING
02:47:56 OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES IS WHEN AN OFFICER DISCOVERS, FOR
02:47:59 EXAMPLE, AN OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE AS BEING OPERATED WITH
02:48:07 COUNTY CERTIFICATE OF TITLE AS BEING REQUIRED, HAVING
02:48:10 BEEN OBTAINED.
02:48:10 THE OFFICER IS GOING TO DETERMINE THAT THAT IS A SECOND
02:48:14 DEGREE MISDEMEANOR.
02:48:16 SO, THEREFORE, OHV, WHICH IS NOT PROPERLY TITLED OR
02:48:21 REQUIRED TO BE TITLED, IT'S GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO AN
02:48:26 IMPOUNDMENT.
02:48:27 IN ADDITION, WE ARE FINDING THAT A LOT OF THESE
02:48:29 OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES MAY NOT HAVE THEIR VIN NUMBERS.
02:48:33 SOMEBODY MAY HAVE OBTAINED THIS BY THEFT OR MAYBE THEY
02:48:40 BUY IT FROM SOMEBODY ELSE WHO STOLE IT OR WHATEVER THE
02:48:43 SCENARIO, BUT A LOT OF TIMES THE OHVs DON'T HAVE VIN
02:48:48 NUMBERS.
02:48:49 IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A VIN NUMBER THAT'S ALSO A CORRECT ME
02:48:51 IF I AM WRONG AND RELATES TO THE IMPOUNDMENT OF THE OHV.
02:48:56 IN ADDITION, AN OPERATOR WHO WINDS UP GETTING ARRESTED ON
02:48:59 A PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY RESULTS IN IMPOUNDMENT.
02:49:06 HIMSELF IF IT'S USED IN A COMMISSION OF A FELONY ARE ALSO
02:49:09 GOING TO BE IMPOUNDED.
02:49:11 SO WE BELIEVE THAT PROVIDING OFFICERS WITH THIS
02:49:16 ADDITIONAL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR OHV IS GOING TO HELP
02:49:19 ENFORCEMENT AND DISCOURAGE OHVs ON PUBLIC ROADS, AND
02:49:26 WITH IMPOUNDMENT OF THE OHV WILL OCCUR.
02:49:30 I WILL TURN IT NOW BACK OVER TO CAPTAIN.
02:49:35 >> JUST ONE LAST THING ON ENFORCEMENT CHALLENGES, CLEARLY
02:49:38 THE DEPARTMENT AND SOME AGENCIES NATIONWIDE WILL NOT
02:49:43 PURSUE THE DIRT BIKE OR THE ATV.
02:49:46 IT'S CLEARLY A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD.
02:49:48 IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO.
02:49:51 HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN USING SEVERAL OF OUR RESOURCES, AND
02:49:55 AGAIN WITH CHAPTER 317, WE THINK THAT'S YET ANOTHER TOOL.
02:50:01 AGAIN, WE CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
02:50:06 COMMUNITY HELPING US AND USING IT THE 411 LINE
02:50:10 NONEMERGENCY AND REPORTING.
02:50:13 THERE IS A LOT MORE, WE ARE LOOKING FOR INFORMATION TO
02:50:15 WHERE THE BIKES ARE BEING HELD OR WHERE THEY ARE BEING
02:50:18 STORED.
02:50:19 WITH THE COMMUNITY'S HELP, WE CAN PUSH A LOT OF THAT
02:50:22 INFORMATION TO HELP EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY.
02:50:25 IT'S NOT THAT TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT IS AGAINST THE USE
02:50:28 OF ATVs AND DIRT BIKES BUT WE DO BELIEVE THEY NEED TO
02:50:33 BE OPERATED SAFELY AND ON A PUBLIC ROAD.
02:50:35 AND WITH THAT, THAT IS WHERE WE ARE LOOKING AT RATE NOW.
02:50:38 USING THIS CHAPTER 317 AS AN ADDITIONAL TOOL TO HELP
02:50:42 REMOVE SOME OF THESE VEHICLES OFF OF THE STREETS, ALONG
02:50:45 WITH EDUCATING THE PUBLIC AND GETTING THEIR ASSISTANCE TO
02:50:48 HELP US WITH IT.
02:50:48 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMEMBER GUDES.
02:50:52 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP THIS
02:50:55 AFTERNOON.
02:50:56 CAPTAIN RICHARDSON, MY FRIEND, AND MR. SCHMID, NOW THIS
02:51:00 IS A GREAT ISSUE OF CONCERN IN THE COMMUNITY, IN THE
02:51:03 CITY.
02:51:04 MY OFFICE RECEIVES SEVERAL CALLS SO WE ARE HAPPY TO FIND
02:51:07 SOME THINGS.
02:51:10 WE HAVE SOME STATE MANDATES, CRAFT SOME TYPE OF ORDINANCE
02:51:14 AND HAVE A REAL VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON
02:51:18 THEIR RIGHTS TO OWN AN ATV, OFF ROAD VEHICLE, AND THE
02:51:24 CONSEQUENCES BY NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
02:51:27 I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE A ROBUST CAMPAIGN TO THE
02:51:30 COMMUNITY, GET IT OUT THERE, GIVE IT TO THE MEDIA, PRESS
02:51:33 CONFERENCES, WHATEVER WE NEED, GO INTO A TRUST FUND, TAKE
02:51:37 SOME FUND OUT OF THERE OR MAYBE GET WITH FDOT TO RECEIVE
02:51:40 SOME GRANT FUNDING TO HELP GET THIS CAMPAIGN GOING.
02:51:43 I HAVE SEEN MYSELF, SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ON -- ON YOUR
02:51:49 PRESENTATION SO I KNOW OF A BUNCH OF ACCIDENTS.
02:51:51 I SAW FATALITIES AND I WITNESSED A COUPLE OF THEM.
02:51:54 BUT I AM HOPING WE WILL HAVE SOME TYPE OF ORDINANCE FOR
02:51:57 THE CITY ALONG WITH WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PRESENTED, AND
02:52:00 ALSO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME DOLLARS BEHIND IT TO HAVE A
02:52:03 ROBUST CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE DO'S AND
02:52:05 DON'TS, AND MAKE THE ENFORCEMENT.
02:52:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
02:52:13 ANYBODY ELSE?
02:52:16 HEARING NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:52:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. SCHMID, COULD YOU
02:52:22 RESPOND ON THIS?
02:52:24 YOU AND THE CAPTAIN, PLEASE?
02:52:26 >> I'M SORRY, RESPOND THE R AS TO WHICH PART OF THAT?
02:52:31 >>ORLANDO GUDES: CAN WE BE ABLE TO CRAFT SOMETHING, AND
02:52:35 ALSO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC, LOOKING INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT
02:52:39 TRUST, ASKING FDOT IF THEY HAVE ANY MONEY TO BE ABLE TO
02:52:42 EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THIS ISSUE, AND ALSO CRAFTING SOME
02:52:45 TYPE MUCH ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY?
02:52:46 >>MICHAEL SCHMID: I COULD ADDRESS THE ORDINANCE AND THEN
02:52:50 I WILL LET THE CAPTAIN ADDRESS THE OTHER PORTION OF THE
02:52:53 QUESTION.
02:52:55 AS FAR AS DRAFTING AN ORDINANCE, I DID LOOK INTO THAT.
02:52:59 BUT WHEN I DISCOVERED CHAPTER 317, AND THE FACT THAT WE
02:53:03 ARE IMPOUNDING VEHICLES AND IT'S MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE
02:53:08 AN ARREST AS A SECOND DEGREE MISDEMEANOR, FOR THE
02:53:12 VEHICLES BEING UNTITLED WHICH IS WHAT WE SUSPECT, AND
02:53:17 POSSIBLY EVEN A FELONY IF IT'S -- WE ARE ALREADY HAVE
02:53:24 TOOLS THAT WE WEREN'T USING IN PLACE.
02:53:27 WE WANT TO TRY THOSE TOOLS FIRST UNDER CHAPTER 317.
02:53:32 IF WE DON'T HAVE -- WE FIND THESE TOOLS AREN'T
02:53:35 SUFFICIENT, THEN WE COULD CONSIDER CRAFTING AN ORDINANCE,
02:53:38 POSSIBLY UNDERSTOOD OUR 1430 FOR AN IMPOUNDMENT OR
02:53:43 SOMETHING LIKE THAT OF THE VEHICLES IF THEY ARE ON THE
02:53:48 ROADS.
02:53:49 IT HAS TO BE FOR AT LEAST SOME SORT OF CRIMINAL OFFENSE,
02:53:52 WHICH WOULD BE ALLOWING TO US IMPOUND THE VEHICLES.
02:53:56 RIGHT NOW, OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO HOLD OFF ON AN
02:54:00 ORDINANCE AND WAIT AND SEE IF THESE CURRENT NEW IDEAS ARE
02:54:04 GOING TO WORK TO DISCOURAGE THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY.
02:54:09 FOUNTAIN DOESN'T WORK, WE WOULD LIKE TO THEN COME BACK
02:54:11 WITH A A DRAFT ORDINANCE.
02:54:15 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ARE WE LOOKING AT 60, 90 DAYS FOR AN
02:54:19 UPDATE POSSIBLY?
02:54:21 POSSIBLY 60 TO 90 DAYS FOR AN UPDATE TO SEE HOW THAT'S
02:54:24 WORKING?
02:54:25 >>MICHAEL SCHMID: SURE.
02:54:26 YES, SIR.
02:54:26 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK IF WE ARE GOING TO START
02:54:29 ENFORCING, WE NEED TO EDUCATE, AND CAPTAIN RICHARDSON CAN
02:54:34 ADDRESS THAT, IF WE NEED FUNDING OR WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
02:54:38 SO IF WE START TO IMPOUND, LET THE PUBLIC TO KNOW WHY, SO
02:54:42 WE DON'T HAVE A HAVE THEM THINK WE ARE PICKING ON CERTAIN
02:54:48 COMMUNITIES, CERTAIN PEOPLE, BUT I KNOW WE HAVE ADDRESSED
02:54:51 IT BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY AND THE DRIVERS OF THE STREETS
02:54:53 ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT VIGOROUSLY.
02:54:55 SO COUNCIL MEMBERS ESPECIALLY ALL OVER MY DISTRICT.
02:54:58 SO I HOPE CAPTAIN RICHARDSON CAN ADDRESS THAT AND WE CAN
02:55:02 HAVE A ROBUST CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC, TV, RADIO,
02:55:06 WHAT HAVE YOU, SO THEY CAN ADDRESS THAT, TOO.
02:55:08 >> I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
02:55:13 IT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO OR THE FUNDING,
02:55:15 WHETHER IT CAN COME FROM THE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRUST FUND,
02:55:18 OR IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WE NEED TO DO.
02:55:21 BUT WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MEDIA,
02:55:23 WITH THE IO'S OFFICE IN GETTING SOME OF THAT INFORMATION
02:55:26 OUT THERE.
02:55:28 ALSO TO GET SOME INFORMATION OUT THERE, TALK TO SOME OF
02:55:32 THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITIES AND ASKING THEM TO SPREAD
02:55:35 THE WORD ON EDUCATING AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN, SO
02:55:40 ABSOLUTELY, I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL BE ABLE TO
02:55:43 LOOK INTO AND SEE WHERE THAT GOES, SO TO GET THAT DONE,
02:55:48 AND A ROBUST CAMPAIGN IS SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY NEEDS TO
02:55:52 OCCUR.
02:55:53 >>ORLANDO GUDES: AND THE REASON I SAY THAT, I SAW
02:55:57 SO-AND-SO PERSON.
02:55:58 WELL, THE RULE IS, IF THE ATV HAS NO VIN NUMBER ON IT, WE
02:56:03 HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF IT'S STOLEN.
02:56:06 YOU NEED TO GIVE UP THE INFORMATION AND SAY WHO YOU
02:56:08 BOUGHT THAT BIKE FROM.
02:56:09 SO I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE EDUCATE THE PUBLIC SO
02:56:13 PEOPLE KNOW, SO THERE'S NO GRAY AREA.
02:56:16 THIS IS THE AREA, THESE ARE THE RULES AND THE LAWS.
02:56:18 IF YOU ARE GOING TO OWN ONE OF THESE ATVs.
02:56:21 SO I AM HOPING WE CAN GET A REPORT BACK TO THIS COUNCIL
02:56:24 AS SOON AS WE CAN ON HOW WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THAT
02:56:27 CAMPAIGN WORK.
02:56:28 I THINK ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL BE INTERESTED IN THAT.
02:56:30 SO I'M HOPING IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING
02:56:35 GOING ON TO REPORT BACK TO THIS COUNCIL ON WHAT KIND OF
02:56:37 CAMPAIGN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE, IF NOT SOONER.
02:56:40 >> UNDERSTOOD.
02:56:42 AND JUST TO REITERATE, FROM A PERSONAL STANDPOINT, YOU
02:56:46 HAVE BEEN OUT THERE WITH US AND SEEN THIS IN THE PAST.
02:56:49 WE TAKE THE OPPORTUNITIES WHEN WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT, AND
02:56:52 LET PEOPLE KNOW WHY WE ARE DOING IT, HOW THESE THINGS
02:56:55 WORK.
02:56:55 SO ABSOLUTELY, THE OFFICERS ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN
02:56:58 TO GET THAT EDUCATION OUT THERE, AND WE JUST NEED TO HAVE
02:57:03 THAT AMPLIFIED TO DO THAT.
02:57:06 AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.
02:57:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
02:57:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:57:10 ANYBODY ELSE?
02:57:12 OKAY.
02:57:14 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
02:57:15 NEXT UP, THE FIREFIGHTERS.
02:57:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY.
02:57:23 THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
02:57:25 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIR, POINT OF ORDER.
02:57:29 IF THE CAPTAIN CAN SEND TO COUNCIL THAT PRESENTATION.
02:57:33 I DIDN'T SEE THE PRESENTATION.
02:57:34 IF YOU CAN SEND THAT TO ME SO WHEN I AM TALKING TO
02:57:37 CONSTITUENTS I CAN LET THEM KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING WITH
02:57:40 THE STATUTE AND SO FORTH.
02:57:41 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IT WAS TRANSMITTED POWERPOINT THAT I
02:57:48 HAD APPROVED, AND OFFROAD VEHICLES.
02:57:51 WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS OUT.
02:57:53 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
02:57:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CITRO.
02:57:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
02:58:04 THE REASON WHY I ASKED FOR THIS REPORT IS BACK IN -- LET
02:58:12 ME GET MY STATS HERE -- OCTOBER OF 2020, THERE WAS AN
02:58:16 INTERNAL AUDIT BUILT CITY DONE ON TAMPA FIRE RESCUE THAT
02:58:23 STATE ADD FEW THINGS.
02:58:24 TAMPA FIRE RESCUE NOT MEETING POD STANDARD.
02:58:30 THAT WAS ONE.
02:58:31 TAMPA FIRE RESCUE PERSONNEL WERE NOT COMPLYING WITH
02:58:33 VEHICLE INSPECTION REPORTS AND MONITORING: THEN THERE
02:58:37 WAS ANOTHER ONE, MANAGEMENT SHOULD DEVELOP A STANDARD
02:58:40 REPORTING PROCESS BY CREATING A MONTHLY METRICS TO
02:58:44 DETERMINE IF THE INTERNAL GOALS ARE BEING SET MET.
02:58:49 I'M TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY, AND I ASK FOR THE
02:58:52 CONVENIENCE CHIEF LOCICERO, NOW WE HAVE CHRIS HERE, AND
02:58:56 THE UNIONS AND FLEET MANAGEMENT TO COME DOWN AND RESPOND
02:59:00 TO THIS AUDIT.
02:59:01 I THINK THAT WOULD ONLY BE FAIR TO HEAR FROM TAMPA FIRE
02:59:05 RESCUE.
02:59:06 BUT I'M HOPING, IT IS MY HOPE THAT DURING THIS REBUTTAL,
02:59:13 WE ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY HEAR MORE AND MORE OF WHATNOT
02:59:16 ONLY -- YOU SAID 54 IS ASKING FOR MORE STATIONS, MORE
02:59:21 FIRE TRUCKS, MORE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS AND MORE
02:59:25 PERSONNEL.
02:59:25 SO CHIEF, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO START US OFF.
02:59:30 >> CHIEF TRIPP: BARBARA TRIPP, INTERIM FAIR CHIEF OF
02:59:35 TAMPA FIRE RESCUE.
02:59:36 GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
02:59:39 YES, SO YOU GAVE ME A TASK TO DO FOR THE LAST MEETING,
02:59:44 AND -- PUT MY GLASSES ON -- TO RESPOND TO THE AUDIT, THEY
02:59:51 SAY TAMPA IS NOT MEETING ITS RESPONSE TIME.
02:59:54 IF YOU CAN PUT MY POWERPOINT UP.
02:59:56 I HAVE SOME INFORMATION CONCERNING RESPONDING TO --
03:00:01 >>> OKAY, IT'S UP.
03:00:02 >> TRIP TRIP OKAY.
03:00:09 SO
03:00:13 CHIEF TRIPP: SO PRETTY MUCH DURING THE AUDIT, IT WAS TWO
03:00:21 AREAS THAT WE NEEDED TO RESPOND TO. THE FIRST AREA WAS
03:00:24 WE ARE NOT MEETING OUR STANDARD RESPONSE TIME OF 8
03:00:27 MINUTES 30 SECOND, 90% OF THE TIME.
03:00:30 SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE HAD, BASICALLY HAD THE
03:00:33 CAD THAT'S PRETTY MUCH UPDATED SINCE 1998.
03:00:37 WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN ADL SYSTEM THAT IS CURRENTLY OUT OF
03:00:40 SERVICE, BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR FIVE YEARS.
03:00:42 NEXT SLIDE.
03:00:45 AS I RESPOND TO ITEM NUMBER 1, OUR AVL SYSTEM HAS BEEN
03:00:51 PRETTY MUCH OUT OF SERVICE FOR FIVE YEARS.
03:00:53 OUR CAD SYSTEM IS OUTDATED.
03:00:55 WE HAVE ONE THAT'S BEEN IMPLEMENTED AT THE MOMENT, AND
03:00:58 TNI CAN GIVE AN UPDATE ON WHEN IT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.
03:01:02 RADIO TRAFFIC.
03:01:03 UNITS ARE HAVING TO USE THEIR RADIO TO TRY TO GET
03:01:07 INFORMATION TO OUR DISPATCH SYSTEM TO LET THEM KNOW THAT
03:01:10 THEY ARE ON SCENE AND RESPONDING.
03:01:12 SO PRETTY.
03:01:13 KIND OF LIKE THEY ARE COME PETITIONING FOR RADIO
03:01:15 COVERAGE.
03:01:18 ANOTHER ISSUE IS SOME OF THE UNITS MIGHT BE RESPONDING TO
03:01:22 OTHER CALLS THAT'S OUT OF THE AREA.
03:01:25 SO THE ONLY WAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO COLLECT THIS ACTION
03:01:27 IS WE NEED TO GET A NEW CAD SYSTEM.
03:01:29 OUR CAD SYSTEM HAS BEEN IN WORKS.
03:01:32 IT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED BY OCTOBER 2021 PER TNI.
03:01:39 THE NEW AVL SYSTEM WILL CONNECT SOME OF THE NEW RADIO
03:01:43 TRAFFIC.
03:01:45 NEW AVL WILL ALSO PROVIDE SOME REAL DATA TIME TO CORRECT
03:01:49 OUR RESPONSE TIME AND THAT SHOULD BE A REASON TO ALLOW US
03:01:52 TO DO OUR ANALYSIS TO SHOW THAT OUR RESPONSE TIME ON
03:01:55 MEETING THE STANDARD TIMES THAT WE NEED.
03:01:59 WE ALSO NEED TO GET MORE UNITS ON THE STREETS.
03:02:01 THIS WILL HELP DECREASE THE RESPONSE TIME THROUGHOUT THE
03:02:04 CITY OF TAMPA.
03:02:05 ADDITIONAL SPACE WILL HOUSE THESE UNITS.
03:02:10 WOULD YOU LIKE FOR DNI TO RESPOND FOR IMPLEMENTATION ON
03:02:14 THE NEW CAD SYSTEM?
03:02:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WOULD.
03:02:17 I HAVE A QUESTION WITH THAT BECAUSE I AM KIND OF
03:02:19 CONFUSED.
03:02:21 IF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS HAD THIS SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR
03:02:24 I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS AND YOU CAN PRESS A COMPUTER
03:02:27 BUTTON WHICH MEANS YOU ARE ON SCENE, 10-8 MEANS YOU ARE
03:02:30 BACK IN SERVICE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND OHIO FIRE HAS NOT HAD
03:02:34 A COMPUTER, WHEN TPD HAS HAD THIS FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW
03:02:38 LOANING.
03:02:38 THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.
03:02:40 BUT EXPLAIN WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OR THE DIFFERENT
03:02:43 CAD SYSTEMS, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE
03:02:45 ANY SENSE.
03:02:47 >>CHIEF TRIPP: SO THE CAD SYSTEM, WE CAN GIVE INFORMATION
03:02:49 BUT WE HAVE TO GET RADIO TRAFFIC.
03:02:51 CURRENTLY, WE HAVE MULTIPLE CHANNELS, BUT THOSE CHANNELS
03:02:54 ARE USED WHENEVER DIFFERENT SCENES HAVE MULTIPLE UNITS
03:02:58 BUFF THE INITIAL CHANNEL IS OUR OPERATION CHANNEL, AND
03:03:01 PRETTY MUCH THE UNITS GO ON SCENE FROM THAT OPERATION
03:03:04 THAT ONE CHANNEL THAT WE HAVE.
03:03:05 IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE UNITS THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF TAMPA,
03:03:08 YOU HAVE 23 STATIONS, YOU HAVE 46 APPARATUS, RESPONDING
03:03:12 TO CALLS, EVERYONE IS TRYING TO GO ON THAT CHANNEL TO SAY
03:03:14 THAT THEY ARE RESPONDING, ENROUTE, TRANSPLANTATION
03:03:17 TRANSFERRING TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THE AVL SYSTEM IS
03:03:20 NOT WORKING.
03:03:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SO WHAT I AM HEARING, USUALLY RADIO
03:03:24 SYSTEMS, THEY HAVE DIFFERENT CHANNEL.
03:03:27 SO I AM HEARING THE CHIEF SAYING THEY HAVE ONE CHANNEL
03:03:29 AND EVERYONE USING TRAFFIC ON THAT ONE CHANNEL?
03:03:33 >>CHIEF TRIPP: WE HAVE MULTIPLE CHANNELS WHENEVER THEY
03:03:35 ARE GIVEN DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES FOR DIFFERENT SCENARIOS.
03:03:37 BUT WE HAVE ONE OPERATION CHANNEL.
03:03:41 IF I EXPLAINED THAT RIGHT.
03:03:43 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT'S WHY I SEE YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY.
03:03:45 I SEE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
03:03:47 >> IF WE HAD THE AVL SYSTEM IN PLACE THERE'S NO REASON TO
03:03:50 COMPETE FOR RADIO TRAFFIC.
03:03:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I GET IT.
03:03:54 >>CHIEF TRIPP: SO THE AVL HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR
03:03:57 QUITE A FEW YEARS.
03:03:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I UNDERSTAND.
03:04:00 THANK YOU.
03:04:00 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC
03:04:05 DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ACRONYMS ARE.
03:04:07 IF YOU COULD BE MORE PRECISE, JUST SO THAT THE CITIZENS
03:04:10 KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.
03:04:12 >>CHIEF TRIPP: AVL IS THE AUTOMATED VEHICLE LOCATER AND
03:04:15 THE CAD IS THE COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH SYSTEM.
03:04:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
03:04:26 >>CHIEF TRIPP: IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR TNI, I WILL STEP
03:04:29 TO THE SAID.
03:04:29 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ARE YOU SAYING BY OCTOBER 2021 THEY
03:04:33 WILL HAVE THIS SYSTEM UP?
03:04:37 >> IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES, COVID ISSUES.
03:04:41 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IS TNI ON THE LINE SO WE UNDERSTAND
03:04:45 WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE?
03:04:48 >>CHIEF TRIPP: SURE.
03:04:49 >>ORLANDO GUDES: COMMUNICATION IS GETTING OUT TO
03:04:51 SERVICES, GETTING TO FAIRS.
03:04:53 THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
03:04:53 >> I'M THE CEO FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA.
03:05:02 I JUST WANT TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW, AGAIN WE DO TAKE THE
03:05:05 CONDITION OF THE FIREFIGHTERS AND POLICE EQUIPMENT
03:05:08 SERIOUSLY.
03:05:09 WE HAVE BEEN IN PROCESS TO REPLACE THIS SYSTEM WITH THE
03:05:11 NEW ADMINISTRATION.
03:05:13 WE ARE ON TARGET FOR OUR OCTOBER DATE.
03:05:16 EARLIER, OR I WOULD SAY LATE LAST QUARTER, WE HAD A
03:05:22 SITUATION WHERE CHIEF OF STAFF ENCOURAGED US TO FIND A
03:05:26 WAY TO GET -- AT LEAST ROUTING AND NOTIFICATION DEVICES
03:05:32 OUT TO THE FOLKS, SO WE HAD PURCHASED SIXTY iPads,
03:05:37 DELIVERED, PUT MAPS ON THEM, DID THE INTERIM STUFF THAT
03:05:40 WE NEEDED TO DO IN ORDER TO GIVE THEM A WAY TO GET ROUTED
03:05:43 TO THE SCENE AS A TEMPORARY GESTURE.
03:05:45 WHILE WE WERE DOING THAT, WE WENT BACK TO OUR CAD VENDOR,
03:05:48 WHO OUR COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH VENDOR, WHO HAD ALREADY
03:05:56 COMMITTED WITH US AND SAID COULD YOU MOVE UP THIS
03:06:00 LOCATION CAPABILITY THAT WAS SCHEDULED FOR LATER?
03:06:03 THEY HAVE AGREED TO THAT.
03:06:04 AND WE ARE ON A TIMELINE TO DO THAT FOR THE AVL PORTION,
03:06:08 AND BY, I THINK, THE FIRST TO SECOND WEEK OF FEBRUARY.
03:06:12 SO WE ARE NO SITUATION HERE, WHILE THE AGE OF THE
03:06:17 INFRASTRUCTURE IS REGRETTABLE, AS SOON AS WE COULD GET
03:06:20 FUNDING AND REPLACE IT, THE ADMINISTRATION WAS DOING
03:06:22 THAT, AND WE ARE IN PROCESS TO DO THAT.
03:06:25 WE HAVE PURCHASED PROBABLY -- ONE OF THE BEST SYSTEMS,
03:06:31 THROUGH A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT.
03:06:33 WE HAVE A FULL COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH RECORDS
03:06:36 MANAGEMENT, INTEGRATED CAD AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
03:06:39 SYSTEM ALL DESIGNED TO BRING THAT SYSTEM TOGETHER, AS THE
03:06:42 CHIEF SAID, MOST POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS
03:06:46 ARE USED TO HITTING A BUTTON AND SAYING I AM ON SCENE,
03:06:49 NOT ON SCENE, AND HAVE IT AUTOMATICALLY HAPPEN BECAUSE
03:06:52 IT'S OLDER EQUIPMENT.
03:06:53 WE HAD GPS EQUIPMENT THAT ACTUALLY DEPENDED ON OUR ONLY
03:06:58 ANTENNAS GOING BACK TEN YEARS AGO AND FIVE YEARS AGO.
03:07:01 SO REPLACING THAT EQUIPMENT IS PART OF THE HALF MILLION
03:07:04 DOLLARS INITIATIVE IN THIS FIRST YEAR.
03:07:06 THE TOTAL PROJECT IS 1.27 MILLION FOR ALL OF THE
03:07:09 OPERATIONAL AND CAPITAL COSTS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
03:07:12 AND WE ARE PLOWING THAT INTO THE SYSTEM TO GET THE BEST
03:07:16 SYSTEM THEY HAD TO GET THE DATA THEY NEED SO THEY CAN
03:07:19 OPERATE THE DEPARTMENT THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY THEY CAN,
03:07:22 AND HAVE THE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION THEY NEED TO MAKE THE
03:07:25 DECISIONS THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR A CITY THAT'S GROWING AT
03:07:28 THE RATE THAT IT IS NOW.
03:07:29 SO ALTHOUGH WE ALL REGRET THAT THE EQUIPMENT FUNDING
03:07:33 DIDN'T COME WHEN WE WANTED IT TO, IT IS IN PROCESS AND IT
03:07:37 IS ON THE WAY, AND WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
03:07:40 ACCELERATE THAT PROCESS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY
03:07:43 PROBLEMS OUT IN THE FIELD FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.
03:07:46 IF THERE'S ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, THAT ANY OF THE
03:07:49 COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE WITH
03:07:51 ME AFTER, I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE MORE ACQUAINTED WITH
03:07:54 THIS TECHNOLOGY THAN OTHERS.
03:07:55 I WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU AFTER HOURS, OR AT
03:08:00 ANOTHER TIME TO LET YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE, SHARE
03:08:03 THE TIMELINES WITH YOU, AND MAKE SURE WE KEEP YOU UPDATED
03:08:07 AS TO THE PROGRESS OF THE NEW SYSTEM.
03:08:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
03:08:11 >>JOSEPH CITRO: IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR.
03:08:12 HOW DID THIS SLIP UP THERE THE CRACKS?
03:08:15 YOU ARE SAYING FINANCIAL, BUT HOW DID IT SLIP THROUGH THE
03:08:18 CRACKS?
03:08:20 WERE OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, OUR FIRE FIRST RESPONDERS,
03:08:23 COULD BE USING ANTIQUATED EQUIPMENT, OR EQUIPMENT THAT'S
03:08:25 NOT USEFUL ANYMORE.
03:08:27 HOW DID THAT SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS?
03:08:29 >> WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR, I CANNOT TELL YOU WHY
03:08:32 ADMINISTRATIONS IN THE PAST MADE DECISIONS.
03:08:34 WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS, AS SOON AS IT WAS FUNDED, THE
03:08:38 DEPARTMENT, BOTH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND TNI WERE MOVING
03:08:42 FORWARD TO MAKE THOSE REPLACEMENTS.
03:08:45 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COULD THAT FUNDING HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE
03:08:47 THROUGH GRANTS?
03:08:48 >> I DO NOT KNOW, SIR.
03:08:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
03:08:52 >>ZACHARY GRECO: I SEE MR. GRECO'S HAND.
03:08:55 DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING?
03:08:58 >> JOE GRECO, PRESIDENT OF TAMPA FIREFIGHTERS LOCAL 754.
03:09:02 SO FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
03:09:04 THIS IN LABOR MANAGEMENT AND WE DISCUSSED IT AD NAUSEAM
03:09:07 TO EVERYBODY WHO WOULD LISTEN.
03:09:09 SO WE FIGHT FOR RADIO TRAFFIC EVERY SINGLE DAY, HAVE TO
03:09:13 GO ON SCENE AVAILABLE OR ANYTHING ELSE.
03:09:16 THE RADIO TRAFFIC IS SO FULL, YOU CAN'T LITERALLY -- THE
03:09:21 REASON THE CAPTAIN GAVE YOU THE INFORMATION SHE GAVE YOU
03:09:24 IS BECAUSE WE CAN'T ACCURATELY TELL YOU HOW LONG THE
03:09:27 RESPONSE TIMES ARE.
03:09:28 BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET ON THE RADIO, YOU MIGHT BE WAITING
03:09:31 A MINUTE OR TWO, SITTING IN THE UNIT, WHILE YOU HAVE --
03:09:34 IF YOU DID SIT IN THE UNIT FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, YOU HAVE
03:09:37 GOT A PATIENT OUTSIDE, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ATTENDING
03:09:39 TO, YOU HAVE GOT SOMETHING TO DO.
03:09:41 CAN'T SIT THERE AND WAIT TO GET ON THE RADIO AND WAIT TO
03:09:43 GO ON SCENE OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU NEED.
03:09:46 LITERALLY, POTENTIALLY YOU COULD HAVE A DOWNED
03:09:50 FIREFIGHTER AND COULDN'T EVEN GET ON THE RADIO TO DISCUSS
03:09:52 BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH TRAFFIC.
03:09:55 SO UP TO ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, WE HAD A COMPUTER IN OUR
03:09:59 TRUCKS WE COULD USE TO GO ON SCENE, WE DIDN'T HAVE TO
03:10:01 HAVE THAT RADIO TRAFFIC.
03:10:03 COULD YOU ALLOCATE THAT CHANNEL TO JUST DISPATCH.
03:10:05 BUT NOW, IT'S EVERYTHING.
03:10:07 THAT CHANNEL, THAT ONE CHANNEL WE HAVE IS ALLOCATED FOR
03:10:12 ALL DISPATCHES, ALL ON SCENE, EVERYTHING, WHEN YOU ARE
03:10:15 CALLING FOR BLS OR ALS OR ANOTHER UNIT OR WHATEVER IT IS,
03:10:19 CHANNEL ONE IS DEDICATED TO THAT.
03:10:21 AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY PACKED.
03:10:22 YOU CAN'T GET ANY MORE TRAFFIC ON IT THAN YOU CURRENTLY
03:10:25 GOT ON IT SO CHIEF TRIPP IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
03:10:28 THE TIMES THAT WE HAVE PROBABLY ARE NOT AS BAD AS WHAT
03:10:33 THAT AUDI SAID BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO ACCURATELY GIVE YOU
03:10:36 THAT INFORMATION, BECAUSE OUR SYSTEM IS SO ANT 2008ED
03:10:39 THAT IT'S JUST INACCURATE.
03:10:42 PERIOD.
03:10:42 IT'S INACCURATE.
03:10:44 SO WE HAVE BEEN HEARING FOR FIVE YEARS THIS CAD SYSTEM.
03:10:47 CHIEF JENKINS, FORMER CHIEF LOCICERO, FORMER CHIEF BOGUS,
03:10:52 I HEARD IT FROM EVERYBODY BEINGS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE UP
03:10:55 AND RUNNING.
03:10:56 WE TESTED IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT'S FAILED.
03:10:58 I DON'T KNOW WHAT SYSTEM THEY ARE BUILDING, BUT IN FIVE
03:11:01 YEARS, OF NOT HAVING ANY TYPE OF COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH
03:11:07 OTHER THAN YOUR INITIAL TEAR OFF FROM THE STATION IS
03:11:10 ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS IN A CITY THE SIZE OF TAMPA.
03:11:12 NOT ONLY THAT, THE iPads WHICH IS A WONDERFUL IDEA, WE
03:11:15 ARE ALL USING OUR CELL PHONES PRIOR TO THAT, PERSONAL
03:11:18 CELL PHONES TO GET TO THESE CALLS.
03:11:20 THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THEM LIKE HYDRANT
03:11:24 LOCATIONS.
03:11:25 WE WERE ABLE TO --
03:11:29 >> I'M SORRY, BUT THAT IS INCORRECT.
03:11:31 WE LOADED THE HYDRANT LOCATION.
03:11:34 >> JOE GRECO: IF YOU USE THE iPad, THE iPads
03:11:38 PURCHASED SO THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY PUT ANOTHER SYSTEM
03:11:40 ON THERE, SO THAT WE ACTUALLY COULD GET DISPATCH
03:11:43 INFORMATION RESPONDING ON SCENE AND AVAILABLE, BUT
03:11:47 THROUGH WHATEVER PROCESSES WE WENT THROUGH AND THE ONE
03:11:53 SYSTEM THAT WE TRADE, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH ONE YOU PUT
03:11:55 ON IT AS A BAND-AID UNTIL THIS CAD IS SUPPOSED TO COME UP
03:11:58 AT LEAST FOUR YEARS AGO FROM WHAT BE WE INITIALLY STARTED
03:12:01 TALKING ABOUT,
03:12:03 IF YOU ARE USING THE iPad LIKE YOU WERE YOUR
03:12:06 iPHONE, COULD POTENTIAL RIP GET THOSE THINGS.
03:12:08 BUT IN A DISPATCH SYSTEM, WHEN YOU GET THE CALL LOADED
03:12:11 ONTO THE iPad, YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET
03:12:15 RESPONSE AND IT WILL BRING THAT WHOLE THING UP.
03:12:17 A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T USING THEM BECAUSE WE WERE ASSUME
03:12:20 WE WERE GOING TO GET SOME KIND OF COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH
03:12:22 ON THE iPads WHEN THEY INITIALLY CAME OUT.
03:12:24 BUT EVIDENTLY WE ARE NOT.
03:12:26 WE'LL WAIT TILL OCTOBER AND HOPEFULLY THIS CAD SYSTEM
03:12:30 COMES UP AND RUNNING WE WILL HAVE ALL OF THAT AGAIN.
03:12:32 BUT RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A LARGE CELL PHONE IN OUR TRUCKS
03:12:35 THAT -- SOME PEOPLE ARE USING NOW.
03:12:38 >> IF I MAY RESPOND.
03:12:44 EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT AND I CAN HEAR
03:12:46 THE FRUSTRATION IN YOUR VOICE.
03:12:47 THE SITUATION YOU ARE EXPERIENCING -- AND I AM NOT SAYING
03:12:52 THAT IT'S NOT.
03:12:52 WHAT I AM SAYING IS I'M HEARING THE DATES AND TAMES THAT
03:12:55 YOU GUYS ARE SAYING, AND ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS WHEN THE
03:12:58 FUNDING WAS AVAILABLE AND WE WENT THROUGH OUR PROCESS, WE
03:13:01 PURCHASED THIS SYSTEM, AND THAT HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE LAST
03:13:04 YEAR'S TIME FRAME.
03:13:05 WE ARE IMPLEMENTING -- WE ARE ON SCHEDULE, AND EVERYTHING
03:13:10 THAT IS BEING DEPLOYED IS COMING THROUGH THE SYSTEM NOW.
03:13:14 I CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT YOU WERE PROMISED IN THE FUTURE.
03:13:16 ALL I KNOW IS WHAT WAS FUNDED AND WHAT WE WERE GIVEN THE
03:13:20 ABILITY TO GO AHEAD AND PURCHASE.
03:13:21 AND ALL OF THOSE ITEMS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE.
03:13:24 WE ARE MOVING THE CAD, THE AVL LOCATION FORWARD AND
03:13:30 TRYING TO GET THAT IN SOONER.
03:13:32 HOPEFULLY BY THE SECOND WEEK OF FEBRUARY, AS I INDICATED.
03:13:34 WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT.
03:13:36 AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD QUICKLY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
03:13:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I'M SORRY, COUNCILMAN GUDES.
03:13:43 MY INTENT WAS NOT TO HAVE THIS COMPLAINT VESTED
03:13:48 ESPECIALLY FOR ME.
03:13:49 SIR, IF YOU WOULD.
03:13:50 IT'S REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO COMBAT THE UNION AGAINST FAIR.
03:13:57 BUT I WANTED TO, THIS REPORT WASN'T POLICING.
03:14:02 AND I WANTED TO SHOW NOT ONLY TO COUNCIL BUT OUR CITIZENS
03:14:08 THAT FIRE RESCUE IS DEALING WITH SOME THINGS THAT NOW WE
03:14:12 HAVE GROWN UP AS A CITY, AND WE BETTER MAKE SURE THAT OUR
03:14:17 PUBLIC SAFETY, OUR FIRE, IS GROWING JUST AS FAST AS OUR
03:14:21 CITY IS.
03:14:23 SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY I BROUGHT THIS UP.
03:14:25 IT WAS -- I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT ALL OUT INTO THE OPEN
03:14:29 SO I KNOW WHAT TO ASK FOR IN THE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET.
03:14:33 THAT WAS MY REASONING BEHIND IT.
03:14:35 PLEASE, GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN GUDES.
03:14:37 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I'M PISSED.
03:14:43 I'M REALLY PISSED.
03:14:45 I PERSON WHO IS A PUBLIC SERVANT WHO UNDERSTAND THE NEED
03:14:49 FOR COMMUNICATION, A FEW SECOND MEANS AN HOUR TO
03:14:52 SOMEBODY.
03:14:52 IN LAW ENFORCEMENT OR FIRST RESPONDER.
03:14:56 AND YOU TRY TO GET ON THE RADIO, YOU ARE TRYING TO GET
03:15:03 OTHER UNITS THERE.
03:15:09 I KNOW THEIR MIND ARE THINKING, LIKE WHAT THE HELL?
03:15:12 BUT YOU TELL ME THIS YEAR, YOU TELL ME YOU GOT ONE
03:15:16 CHANNEL AND EVERYONE IS TRYING TO GET ON TO TALK TO A
03:15:18 DISPATCHER?
03:15:19 THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE FOR A FIRE UNIT IN A CITY OUR SIZE.
03:15:24 THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.
03:15:25 AND I'M SORRY IF CHIEF LOCICERO WAS HERE I WOULD BLAST
03:15:28 HIM RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.
03:15:31 AND I'M LIVID TO UNDERSTAND.
03:15:33 I HAVE GOT A FIREFIGHTER TRYING TO GET PEOPLE, I LOOK AT
03:15:37 MY SICK DAD, I UNDERSTAND, AND I KNOW THE FIREMEN HAVE TO
03:15:46 BE FRUSTRATED.
03:15:48 I KNOW CHIEF TRIPP IS DOING THE RIGHT THING TO MOVE THIS
03:15:51 FORWARD, AND WE HAVE TO LOOK AT ALLOCATIONS OF BUDGET.
03:15:53 THESE GUYS HAVE TO HAVE COMMUNICATION.
03:15:56 SO GET THIS THING MOVING SIR.
03:15:58 BECAUSE THEY NEED THAT COMMUNICATION.
03:15:59 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
03:16:00 >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE MORE COMMENT, COUNCIL.
03:16:04 EVEN AT THE AUDIT THAT WAS DONE, THE EIGHT AND A HALF
03:16:09 MINUTES, WHEN WE ARE NOT MEETING 90% OF THE TIME, THAT IS
03:16:13 THE UPPER END OF THE RESPONSE TIME FOR MEDICAL.
03:16:17 SO YOU KNOW, EVEN IF WE WERE MEETING THAT GOAL IT WOULD
03:16:21 BE AT THE UPPER END OF THE RESPONSE TIME.
03:16:23 I NOT SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OR LOW.
03:16:25 THAT'S WHY WE NEED MORE STATIONS AND MORE MANPOWER AND
03:16:28 MORE EQUIPMENT BECAUSE WE ARE GROWING AT A LOCALITY
03:16:30 FASTER PACE THAN OUR DEPARTMENT IS GROWING.
03:16:32 THE CITY IS.
03:16:33 SO UNLESS YOU PUT MORE MANPOWER, MORE UNITS AND MORE
03:16:35 STATIONS IN PLACE TO HOLD THOSE UNITS AND MANPOWER, YOUR
03:16:38 RESPONSE TIMES WILL CONTINUE TO GROW BECAUSE YOU DON'T
03:16:40 HAVE ENOUGH UNITS TO MOBILIZE TO RESPOND TO THOSE CALLS.
03:16:44 SO THAT EIGHT AND A HALF MINUTES IS THE UPPER END, NOT
03:16:48 MIDDLE END OR LOW END.
03:16:49 AND WE APPRECIATE CHIEF TRIPP'S DILIGENT WORK ALONG WITH
03:16:53 HER STAFF TO MOVE THE NEEDLE THAT HASN'T MOVED IN TEN
03:16:57 YEARS.
03:16:58 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:16:58 ANYBODY ELSE?
03:16:59 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ARE YOU FINISHED, CHIEF TRIPP?
03:17:05 OR DO YOU HAVE MORE TO ADD?
03:17:09 >>LUIS VIERA: I WILL TELL YOU WHAT.
03:17:11 I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE, TO INTERRUPT THE PRESENTATION.
03:17:16 I WILL GO AFTER CHIEF TRIPP IS FINISHED.
03:17:20 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I'M SORRY, CHIEF, I DIDN'T MANY TO
03:17:22 INTERRUPT.
03:17:22 I'M SORRY.
03:17:23 >> ONE THING BEFORE I GO.
03:17:25 IF THERE'S ANY INFORMATION YOU DO NEED, I THINK PART OF
03:17:27 THE INFORMATION HERE IS SHARING WHERE WE ARE AND HOW WE
03:17:29 ARE MOVING FORWARD.
03:17:30 AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO ENSURE THAT I WILL LET YOU, THE
03:17:34 CHIEF OF STAFF'S OFFICE, WORKING WITH CHIEF TRIPP, AS
03:17:37 WELL AS THE UNIONS, WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS AND HOW
03:17:41 FAST WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.
03:17:42 AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP ADDRESS SOME OF
03:17:45 OUR RADIO SITUATIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT HASN'T BEEN
03:17:48 DONE ALREADY OR WON'T BE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE NEXT FEW
03:17:51 MONTHS, WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE DO THAT.
03:17:54 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:17:56 >>LUIS VIERA: AND IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR.
03:17:59 I WANT TO BE CLEAR BY SAYING I DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN THE
03:18:01 MIDDLE.
03:18:02 I WASN'T CRITICIZING ANYBODY WHO WAS SPEAKING, ET CETERA,
03:18:05 ET CETERA.
03:18:05 I JUST WANTED TO GO JUST AFTERWARDS, ET CETERA, FOR FOR
03:18:08 EXAMPLE, COUNCILMAN GUDES WHO SERVED FOR HOW MANY YEARS
03:18:11 AS A POLICE OFFICER?
03:18:12 36?
03:18:13 26.
03:18:14 I WAS GOING TO SAY.
03:18:15 26 YEARS IS EXTREMELY PASSIONATE OF ALL SEVEN OF US.
03:18:19 HE'S THE ONE THAT WORE A UNIFORM AS A FIRST RESPONDER SO
03:18:23 HIS PASSION IS VERY UNDERSTANDABLE AND HIS PASSION IS
03:18:25 COMMENDABLE, 100% JUST TO BE CLEAR.
03:18:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:18:30 CHIEF TRIPP, ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO 857?
03:18:33 >>CHIEF TRIPP: I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SECOND PART OF 84.
03:18:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
03:18:37 I'M SORRY.
03:18:38 >>CHIEF TRIPP: THE SECOND PART OF 84 IS UP ON THE SLIDE
03:18:40 AS WELL.
03:18:42 T FR PERSONNEL, AND VEHICLES
03:18:54 PRIOR TO BEING PLACED IN THIS POSITION, ADMINISTRATIVE
03:18:57 DIRECTIVE WAS IMPLEMENTED ON DECEMBER 1st.
03:18:59 THAT WAS CREATED.
03:19:01 IT WAS VERIFIED BY RISK MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS FLEET
03:19:04 MAINTENANCE.
03:19:04 IT IS IMPLEMENTED ON ALL THE VEHICLES NOW.
03:19:07 WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO INCLUDING THAT INTO THE
03:19:10 QUARTERLY INSPECTIONS.
03:19:12 AS WELL AS WHEN THE VEHICLES GO TO GET PM.
03:19:17 SO I BELIEVE FLEET MAINTENANCE IS ON THE LINE.
03:19:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM
03:19:22 COUNCIL?
03:19:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: VERY QUICKLY, MR. CHAIR.
03:19:26 THANK GOODNESS FOR STATION NINE.
03:19:28 THEY ARE THE ONES THAT DO THE MAJORITY OF THE FLEET
03:19:31 MAINTENANCE.
03:19:31 NOT ALL OF IT.
03:19:33 IS THERE ANY WAY THAT PERSONNEL, I BELIEVE IT'S EVT,
03:19:43 CAN'T BE SPREAD OUT SO THEY CAN DO -- I KNOW THAT YOU
03:19:46 HAVE CERTAIN TOOLS.
03:19:48 I KNOW YOU HAVE CERTAIN THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO.
03:19:50 BUT MY UNDERSTANDING, YOU PULL AN ENGINE OUT OF ONE
03:19:54 STATION, LET'S SAY STATION 13, AND HAVE TO TAKE IT DOWN
03:19:57 TO STATION 9, THAT'S A TRUCK THAT'S OUT OF SERVICE.
03:20:00 IS THERE ANY WAY THE EBTs COULD TAKE CARE OF SMALLER
03:20:04 THINGS WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE TRUCKS OUT OF SERVICE?
03:20:06 >> I CAN ANSWER THAT.
03:20:13 GARY STEWART, CITY OF TAMPA FLEET MANAGER.
03:20:16 YES, WE DO HAVE ON-ROAD TECHNICIANS THAT HAVE TO GO OUT
03:20:20 TO THE SITE TO DO THESE REPAIRS IF NEEDED.
03:20:23 THEY ARE ON CALL 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK AND THEY
03:20:26 ARE ALWAYS READY TO SERVE.
03:20:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: FANTASTIC. CAN WE IN THE FUTURE PUT IN
03:20:35 THE NORTH END HAVING A STATION LIKE STATION 9 THAT CAN DO
03:20:38 THIS MAINTENANCE ON OUR EQUIPMENT?
03:20:40 >> YES, SIR, IF WE CAN.
03:20:42 >>CHIEF TRIPP: THAT WILL BE PART OF MY SECOND
03:20:43 PRESENTATION.
03:20:44 >>JOSEPH CITRO: AND I'M SORRY, CHIEF.
03:20:46 YOU GOT THE MIKE.
03:20:53 >>CHIEF TRIPP: THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR ITEM 84.
03:20:55 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:20:58 WE NOW GO TO NUMBER 85.
03:21:00 YES, SIR, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
03:21:02 >>BILL CARLSON: JUST CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS TAKE A LOT
03:21:05 OF TIME.
03:21:06 AND I JUST WANT TO THANK I THINK IT WAS COUNCILMAN CITRO
03:21:09 AND MAYBE MIRANDA WHO SUGGESTED THIS ONE.
03:21:11 BUT YOU SEE WE ALL HAVE OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE, AND OUR
03:21:15 OWN EXPERIENCE THAT WE BRING IN.
03:21:18 AND WE ALL SEE THINGS THAT OTHERS DON'T SEE EVEN THOUGH
03:21:20 WE ARE ALL WATCHING CAREFULLY.
03:21:22 AND I THINK THIS KIND OF TIME IS SOME OF THE MOST
03:21:25 VALUABLE TIME THAT WE SPEND, BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS NEW
03:21:28 INFORMATION THAT COMES OUT.
03:21:29 AND FOR THE PUBLIC I THINK IT'S ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
03:21:31 BECAUSE THE PUBLIC WANTS MORE INFORMATION.
03:21:32 THANK YOU ALL.
03:21:34 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING DOWN HERE,
03:21:37 EVERYBODY FROM FLEET MAINTENANCE TO 54 THROUGH OUR CHIEF,
03:21:41 FOR COMING DOWN HERE.
03:21:42 WHEN I SAW THIS AUDIT, I WAS TAKEN ABACK.
03:21:46 AND THEN AFTER TALKING TO THE UNION, TALKING TO THE
03:21:49 CHIEF, I FOUND OUT THAT ALTHOUGH IT MAY BE ACCURATE,
03:21:54 THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, AND IMPROVEMENT NOT
03:21:57 ONLY FROM THE FIREFIGHTERS, BUT FROM THE CITY.
03:22:02 IF WE CAN'T HELP THE FIREFIGHTERS DO THEIR JOB, WE THE
03:22:06 CITY ARE DOING A DISSERVICE.
03:22:08 SO I THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING DOWN.
03:22:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GREAT.
03:22:11 ITEM NUMBER 85.
03:22:14 GO AHEAD, CHIEF.
03:22:17 >>CHIEF TRIPP: SO ITEM 85 STAFF ASKED METROPOLITAN TO
03:22:19 PRESENT APRIL REPORT OF PLAN OF ACTION FOR STATION 13
03:22:24 RIGHT HERE AND RATE NOW.
03:22:25 I CAME UP WITH A COUPLE OF AREAS OF HOW THE CITY CAN
03:22:28 ASSIST WITH PROVIDING RELIEF FOR STATION 13.
03:22:32 STATION 13 OF COURSE IS DEAR TO MY HEART.
03:22:35 I DID TWO TOURS THERE.
03:22:36 I KNOW WHAT THE MEN AND WOMEN ARE GOING THROUGH.
03:22:39 I KNOW HOW EXHAUSTING IT ASK BE ON THE BODY.
03:22:43 I HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM STATION 13 PROBABLY SIX, SEVEN
03:22:46 YEARS, AND NOTHING HAS GROWN UP THERE AS FAR AS TO
03:22:48 INCREASE OUR STAFF AS WELL AS EQUIPMENT BESIDES THE PEEK
03:22:55 UNIT.
03:22:55 THE CITY IS STILL GROWING IN THE NORTHERN AREA AND I FEEL
03:22:59 LIKE THE TAMPA FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS NOT GROWN WITH THEM.
03:23:01 SO A COUPLE MUCH RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I CAN DO FOR
03:23:04 IMMEDIATE RELIEF FOR A 30-DAY FIX, WE NEED TO DO SOME
03:23:09 RELOCATING OF UNITS.
03:23:11 I'M LOOKING TO RELOCATE THE AREA OF TRUCK AT STATION 13,
03:23:15 PUT ANOTHER ENGINE IN THAT POSITION.
03:23:16 THAT WILL HELP ENGINE 13 WITH THE CALLS IN THE AREA.
03:23:20 DUE TO THE FACT WE HAVE OVER A MILLION DOLLAR VEHICLE
03:23:23 RUNNING BASIC CALLS, I THINK THAT CAUSES MORE WEAR AND
03:23:28 TEAR TO PUT THE TRUCKS OUT OF SERVICE.
03:23:30 SO IF WE PUT AN ENGINE UP THERE, THAT WILL HELP DECREASE
03:23:33 THE CALLS.
03:23:34 AS I LOOK AT THE RESCUE CALLS, THE RESCUE CALLS ARE
03:23:37 PRETTY MUCH STABLE.
03:23:37 THEY HAVE DECREASED WITH ADDITIONAL RESCUE CARS.
03:23:40 THAT'S AT STATION 13.
03:23:41 THAT'S RESCUE 24.
03:23:44 IF WE PUT AN ENGINE UP THERE THAT WILL ASSIST ENGINE 13.
03:23:48 ENGINE 13 CALL VOLUME HAS NOT CHANGED OR DECREASED
03:23:51 ACCORDING TO THE DATA THAT I HAVE.
03:23:58 RESCUE TRUCK 13 TO STATION 11 -- CAN I PUT THIS UP?
03:24:06 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
03:24:12 DO IT THE OTHER WAY.
03:24:13 THERE YOU GO.
03:24:16 >>CHIEF TRIPP: CURRENTLY, TRUCK 13 FROM STATION 13, PUT
03:24:19 IT OVER AT STATION 11.
03:24:20 STATION 13 IS CURRENTLY IN DISTRICT 3.
03:24:22 STATION 11 THROUGH 4.
03:24:25 THE PLAN IS TO PUT ANOTHER ENGINE WHICH WE CALL ENGINE 24
03:24:29 AT STATION 13 TO HELP COMPRESS WITH THAT.
03:24:31 THAT WOULD BE A QUICK 30-DAY FIX.
03:24:34 THAT WOULD CAUSE SOME ADDITIONAL FTE POSITIONS TO FULFILL
03:24:38 THAT ENGINE.
03:24:40 I'M SORRY, A CAPTAIN, A DRIVER, AND A FIREFIGHTER.
03:24:43 OKAY?
03:24:46 WITH THAT, WE CAN ALSO PICK UP PEAK CARS.
03:24:50 THEY ONLY WORK PEAK OURS FROM 8:00 TO 8:00, 12 HOUR SHIFT
03:24:56 TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 10:00 TO 10:00 AT NIGHT,
03:24:59 TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
03:25:00 WE COULD TAKE THOSE VEHICLES, CHANGE THE PEAK HOURS, HAVE
03:25:03 THOSE VEHICLES SEVEN DAYS A WEAK VERSUS FIVE, TAKE TWO
03:25:07 HOURS OF A EACH DAY AND MAKE THEM TEN HOUR CARS.
03:25:11 THAT WOULD ASSIST THE NORTHERN END WITH TRANSPORT AS WELL
03:25:14 AS THE VOLUME OF CALLS THEY HAVE.
03:25:16 WE WILL REASSIGN STATION 11 TO DISTRICT 3.
03:25:22 WE WILL REASSIGN STATION 7 TO DISTRICT 4.
03:25:26 THAT MEANS THAT WE KEEP THE SAME AMOUNT OF STATIONS IN
03:25:28 EACH DISTRICT.
03:25:29 THAT WOULD ALSO ALLOW TRUCK COMPANY IN EACH DISTRICT.
03:25:32 >> WHAT ARE THE BORDER LINES OF DISTRICT 3 AND 4?
03:25:37 WHAT ARE THE BODER LINES?
03:25:41 >>CHIEF TRIPP: STATION 13 GOES ALL THE WAY NORTHERN TO
03:25:43 NEBRASKA, AS FAR EAST IT GOES TO 52ND STREET, NORTH OF
03:25:50 FOWLER AND SOUTH IS KIND OF LIKE ROWLETTE PARK.
03:25:56 THAT'S FOR STATION 13.
03:25:58 DISTRICT 3.
03:25:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: DOES 13 COME ACROSS BUSCH AT ANY TIME?
03:26:09 >>CHIEF TRIPP: YES, ALL THE TIME.
03:26:13 AND STATION 11 ACTUALLY MOVES FARTHER WEST, AND COMES UP
03:26:16 TO NEBRASKA NOW.
03:26:18 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
03:26:21 >>CHIEF TRIPP: SO THAT IS A QUICK 30-DAY FIX THAT WE CAN
03:26:24 IMPLEMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS.
03:26:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
03:26:28 COUNCIL?
03:26:30 >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY, I WILL GO AT THE END.
03:26:36 >>CHIEF TRIPP: NOW MOVING FORWARD, I SPOKE EARLIER TO GO
03:26:42 WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA, THERE WILL BE SOME ADDITIONAL
03:26:45 NEEDS AND REQUESTS FROM COUNCIL AS WELL AS THE CITY OF
03:26:47 TAMPA.
03:26:50 STATION 11 ON THIS SLIDE, STATION 11, 710 FAIRBANKS, THAT
03:26:58 STATION WAS RELOCATED TO 15 A HUNDRED WEST WATERS.
03:27:03 CURRENTLY, TPD CANINE UNIT IS IN THAT LOCATION.
03:27:08 TPD CANINE UNIT IS LOOKING TO BUILD THEIR OWN FACILITY AT
03:27:11 THE TRAINING CENTER ON 34th STREET.
03:27:14 IF TAMPA FIRE RESCUE COULD OBTAIN THAT BUILDING, GO IN,
03:27:20 PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE, ANOTHER ENGINE AND RESCUE CAR
03:27:23 THERE, TAKE ONE OF THE PEAK VEHICLES, WHICH IS PEAK 50 OR
03:27:29 51, PUT IT IN THE STATION ALONG WITH AN ENGINE, WE WOULD
03:27:33 NEED TO INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR ANOTHER ENGINE, ANOTHER
03:27:35 RESCUE CAR, AS WELL AS FTE.
03:27:39 THAT'S PRETTY MUCH LIKE A 12 MONTH FIX.
03:27:47 DURING THIS 6 TO 12 MONTHS, THIS WILL ALSO GIVE US TIME
03:27:50 TO ANALYZE OUR DATA, THE CAD SOMETIME SHOULD BE IN PLACE,
03:27:53 THE AVL SHOULD BE IN PLACE, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET SOME
03:27:56 SORT OF TSI INFORMATION AND DETERMINE WHERE WE WOULD NEED
03:28:00 TO LOCATION AN ADDITIONAL STATION IN THAT NORTHERN AREA.
03:28:04 I PREDICTED A LONG TIME FIVE-YEAR GOALS, COMPLETE
03:28:10 ANALYSIS, FOR THE SERVICE DELIVERY AREA FOR THE CITY OF
03:28:13 TAMPA, BUDGET FOR PEAK UNITS TO BECOMING THIS CAR AS WELL
03:28:18 AS 651, BUDGET FOR A NEW FIRE STATION IN FISCAL YEAR 23,
03:28:25 BUDGET 45 STATION IN 24, ONE OF THOSE FIRE STATIONS DOWN
03:28:32 IN THE NORTHERN END -- I'M SORRY, STATION -- I GOT THE
03:28:38 NUMBERS WRONG.
03:28:39 I APOLOGIZE.
03:28:39 24 AND 25.
03:28:40 SO BUDGET FOR NEW FIRE STATION 24, AND THAT WILL TAKE
03:28:44 THAT STATION 13 BUDGET FOR A NEW FIRE STATION, STATION 25
03:28:51 AS WELL.
03:28:52 BUDGET FOR THE NORTHERN STATION AND INSIDE THAT NEW
03:28:57 STATION PUT A RESCUE.
03:29:00 CURRENTLY I DON'T HAVE A RESCUE LOCATED DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
03:29:04 IF WE HAVE A MAJOR INCIDENT ON THE NORTHERN END IT TAKES
03:29:07 AT LEAST A GOOD 20 TO 30 MINUTES FOR HEAVY RESCUE TO GO
03:29:11 TO THE NORTH.
03:29:14 WE ALSO NEED TO INCLUDE FOR THE GROWTH IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA
03:29:18 TO BUDGET FOR A STATION AS WELL AS VEHICLES TO GO ALONG
03:29:23 WITH THAT.
03:29:31 THIS WILL PROVIDE IMMEDIATE RELIEF FOR THE NORTHERN AREA
03:29:36 CITY OF TAMPA AS WELL AS COMMUNITY AS WELL AS BEEF UP
03:29:38 PERSONNEL AND HELP INCREASE THE LOAD THEY ARE GOING
03:29:44 THROUGH NOW.
03:29:46 I KIND OF JUMPED AROUND.
03:29:48 DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
03:29:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
03:29:50 COUNCILMAN VIERA?
03:29:51 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:29:53 I WANT TO THANK YOU, CHIEF, FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS
03:30:01 ISSUE.
03:30:01 YOU HAVE BEEN A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH ALWAYS AND I MEAN
03:30:03 THAT.
03:30:04 YOU KNOW, THE STATISTICS THAT ARE RELEVANT THAT I WILL BE
03:30:07 TALKING ABOUT, THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, CALL FOR
03:30:10 LEADERSHIP FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA, IT CALLS FOR
03:30:13 LEADERSHIP FROM CITY COUNCIL, IN TERMS OF BUILDING A
03:30:15 FINANCIAL BRIDGE, AND ADMINISTRATION, AND I KNOW WE ARE
03:30:19 GOING TO BE UP TO IT.
03:30:21 WE SEE THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE.
03:30:22 WE SEE THE CRISES THAT WE HAVE.
03:30:24 NOW, THE ISSUE IS, ARE WE GOING TO FIX THEM?
03:30:27 IF A AND IF SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO BUILD THAT FINANCIAL
03:30:30 BRIDGE TO FIX THEM?
03:30:32 I'M WILLING TO PUT UP HAMMER AND NAIL, SO TO SPEAK,
03:30:35 FINANCIALLY TO FIX THAT PROBLEM.
03:30:42 I TOLD MY FRIEND AT STAKES 16, I WAS WITH THEM YESTERDAY
03:30:45 MORNING, AND I TOLD THEM 2021 IS GOING TO BE THE YEAR OF
03:30:48 13.
03:30:48 WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUALLY, AS I WILL TALK ABOUT, DEAL
03:30:52 WITH STATION 13 AND THEIR NUMEROUS CRISES THAT WE HAVE.
03:30:56 IT'S AN ABOMINATION WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER AT 13, WITH
03:31:04 REGARDS TO THE STRESS, ET CETERA, THAT THE MEN AND WOMEN
03:31:06 WHO ARE THERE WORKING.
03:31:07 I KNOW WE ARE GOING TO BE UP ON THE TASK, IT GOES WITHOUT
03:31:10 SAYING.
03:31:11 THIS IS A CRISIS OF TERRITORY SERVED.
03:31:15 THE MEN AND WOMEN AT 13 SERVE A TERRITORY THAT I THINK IS
03:31:19 FAR TOO BIG.
03:31:20 WE'LL GET TO SOME REMEDIES ON THAT.
03:31:22 IT'S A CRISIS LIKE I TALKED ABOUT OF EQUITY.
03:31:25 THE COMMUNITIES THAT 13 SERVES OUR COMMUNITIES, MANY THAT
03:31:28 ARE UNDERSERVED, CERTAIN AREAS IN THE UNIVERSITY AREA,
03:31:31 ET CETERA, HAVE POVERTY RATES THAT ARE MORE THAN DOUBLE
03:31:34 THE CITY-WIDE CITY OF TAMPA RATE.
03:31:36 AND IT'S A CRISIS, AS WE ALL KNOW, FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN
03:31:41 WHO SERVE THERE.
03:31:42 YOU KNOW, YOU ARE A FIRST RESPONDER WHETHER YOU ARE A
03:31:44 POLICE OR FIREFIGHTERS, YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE HITS, RATE?
03:31:47 YOU PUT THE STRESS OF 13, AND THEN YOU PUT THE STRESS OF
03:31:51 COVID-19, AND THIS PANDEMIC, AND GOD HELP YOU.
03:31:54 SO IT'S A REAL SIGNIFICANT BURDEN.
03:31:56 WE KNOW THE FACTS HERE.
03:31:57 WE KNOW THAT IN 2019, THERE WERE 11,000 CALLS FOR SERVICE
03:32:01 FOR THIS STATION.
03:32:02 ABOUT ONE SEVENTH OF ALL CALLS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA FAIR
03:32:06 RESCUE CAME TO 13.
03:32:08 THAT'S A LOT.
03:32:09 THAT'S A LOT.
03:32:10 WE KNOW THAT IN 2019, STATION 13 WAS THE BUSIEST, 20TH
03:32:16 BUSIEST ENGINE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THE 54th
03:32:19 BUSIEST LADDER IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
03:32:22 THESE ARE REALLY, REALLY GOOD STEPS THAT YOU ARE
03:32:24 HIGHLIGHTING HERE.
03:32:25 I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE WORKED VERY, VERY HARD FOR THAT.
03:32:29 IF AT THE END OF THIS WE COULD STAND UP AND GIVE YOU A
03:32:32 ROUND OF APPLAUSE, I WOULD LOVE THAT BECAUSE I THINK YOU
03:32:34 ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.
03:32:35 I MEAN THAT.
03:32:37 YOU KNOW, I WILL BE MAKING A MOTION AFTER THE FIRST TERM
03:32:40 CHANGES ARE MADE THAT WE COME BACK WITH A REPORT 45 DAYS
03:32:43 AFTERWARD, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE CHANGES, WHICH
03:32:47 ARE GOING TO COST MONEY, RIGHT?
03:32:50 AND THE ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS IN THE NORTH TAMPA AREA
03:32:52 ARE GETTING THE CHANGES AND THE PROGRESS THAT WE WANT FOR
03:32:54 THE MEN AND WOMEN AT STATION 13 WHO ARE ALL COMMITTED TO,
03:32:59 EVERY LAST ONE OF US ARE.
03:33:01 MY MOTION THAT I MADE WAS TWO TIERED AND THE SECOND HALF
03:33:05 IS GOING TO COME BACK TO US IN MARCH.
03:33:07 IT WAS TODAY TO HAVE IMMEDIATE RELIEF FOR STATION 13
03:33:10 BECAUSE IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THE CONDITIONS THAT THESE MEN
03:33:13 AND WOMEN WORK UNDERSTOOD AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT
03:33:16 THESE COMMUNITIES, MANY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, HAVE GOT
03:33:19 TO BE SUBJECT TO THIS.
03:33:20 STEP NUMBER TWO WE WILL BE COMING BACK IN MARCH WHERE WE
03:33:24 ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT A BIGGER PICTURE OF
03:33:27 RESPONSE TIMES, AND TO MY FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE,
03:33:29 COUNCILMAN CITRO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
03:33:32 IN BRINGING OUT THIS OTHER ISSUE.
03:33:34 A LOT OF DEFICITS THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT AND ARE GOING
03:33:38 TO REQUIRE REAL ATTENTION.
03:33:39 BUT IN MARCH, WE HAVE GOT TO START LOOKING AT REALLY RATE
03:33:43 NOW THE LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS THAT WE HAVE TO THESE CRISES.
03:33:48 THESE CRISES AREN'T GOING AWAY, AND THEY ARE ONLY GOING
03:33:52 TO GO AWAY OR GET BETTER IF WE CONTINUE TO BE COMMITTED
03:33:55 TO IT AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE GOING TO.
03:33:57 IN MARCH WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT NEW FIRE
03:33:59 STATIONS.
03:33:59 NEW FIRE STATION FOR NORTH TAMPA, POTENTIALLY FOR NEW
03:34:03 TAMPA, K-BAR RANCH AREA CONTINUES TO GROWN OUT THERE.
03:34:05 YOU TALK TO STATIONS 20, 21, 22, 23 OUT THERE.
03:34:10 SOMETIMES YOU HAVE WAITING TAMES OF 15 MINUTES OUT THERE,
03:34:12 I HAVE BEEN TOLD.
03:34:13 AGAIN, JUST FROM CONVERSATIONS, ET CETERA.
03:34:16 FOUR OUT OF THE SIX FIRE STATIONS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA
03:34:19 THAT HAVE THE LONGEST RESPONSE TAMES ARE 33647, THE NEW
03:34:24 TAMPA AREA.
03:34:25 WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT CHANNELSIDE.
03:34:28 AND FRANKLY, HOW TO PAY FOR IT, YOU KNOW.
03:34:32 HOW TO PAY FOR IT.
03:34:34 LOOK AT OUR BUDGET AND PAPER FOR THESE.
03:34:36 WE ALL AGREE THAT THESE ARE NEEDS.
03:34:38 ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP IN THIS
03:34:41 CITY TO PAPER FOR IT?
03:34:43 I SAY, HELL, YES, WE ARE.
03:34:46 I KNOW WE ARE.
03:34:46 WE ARE GOING TO DO IT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HERE
03:34:48 FOR.
03:34:51 STATION 13 FRANKLY IF YOU LOOK AT IT, THESE ARE A
03:34:55 MARSHALL PLAN, RATE?
03:34:56 BEGINNING WITH TRANSPORTATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,
03:34:58 ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
03:35:00 BUT CERTAINLY WITH PUBLIC SAFETY.
03:35:05 AND THIS IS PARTICIPANT OF A MOTION I MADE ABOUT A YEAR
03:35:07 AGO WHICH IS FOR A CITY-WIDE MASTER PLAN.
03:35:10 AT FIRST IT WAS JUST FOR FIRE.
03:35:11 I SAID HEY, LET'S ALSO TALK ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
03:35:14 POLICE TO LOOK AT OUR ENTIRE CITY THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR
03:35:18 CITY, SEE WHERE OUR DEFICITS ARE WITH REGARDS TO PUBLIC
03:35:21 SAFETY, SEE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO BUILD A FINANCIAL
03:35:24 BRIDGE TO REMEDY THOSE DEFICITS, AND THEN TALK ABOUT
03:35:27 SOLUTIONS TO GETTING THERE.
03:35:30 I REALLY WANTED TO THANK A FIREFIGHTER AT STATION 13.
03:35:34 WE PASSED A NEW O HE -- OR WE GOT A NEW RESCUE VEHICLE
03:35:38 FOR 13 NOT TOO LONG AGO, AND THEN WE GOT INTO THE BUDGET
03:35:43 THAT WE PASSED, WHAT, FIVE, SIX MONTHS AGO, DESIGN MONEY
03:35:46 FOR A NEW FIRE STATION.
03:35:48 I THINK TO MYSELF, WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS AT 13.
03:35:52 WEEKS OVER AT STATION 13 CALLED ME UP AND SAID, WE GOT A
03:35:56 LONG WAY TO GO, VIERA.
03:35:57 A VERY LONG WAY TO GO.
03:35:59 AND I KNEW THAT THERE WERE BIG CHALLENGES OUT THERE,
03:36:02 CHALLENGES THAT WE WERE WORKING AT FOR A NEW FIRE STATION
03:36:05 OUT THERE, BUT ALL OF THIS CONVERSATION THAT WE ARE
03:36:08 TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE, A LOT OF IT CAME ABOUT BECAUSE
03:36:11 OF CLAYTON WEEKS GIVING ME A CALL.
03:36:14 SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE A REAL SHOUTOUT TO MY FRIEND
03:36:17 CLAYTON WHO IS SUCH A FINE GENTLEMAN.
03:36:19 AND I KNOW THAT IN THE CASTOR ADMINISTRATION, THAT WE
03:36:23 HAVE A CONTINUED FRIEND ON THESE ISSUES WITH CHIEF
03:36:27 BENNETT, WITH YOURSELF, ET CETERA.
03:36:31 WE HAVE A REAL FRIEND.
03:36:32 WE ARE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER TO GET THIS JOB DONE.
03:36:35 FOR STATION 13 AGAIN, THIS IS GONNA BE THE YEAR OF
03:36:38 STATION 13.
03:36:40 THEY HAVE BEEN IGNORED FOR TOO LONG.
03:36:42 IT IS UNACCEPTABLE.
03:36:43 AND WE ARE GOING TO REMEDY THAT THIS YEAR.
03:36:46 AND WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER ON THAT.
03:36:48 I KNOW THAT THESE CHANGES COST SOME FUND.
03:36:52 I WAS TALKING TO CHIEF BENNETT ABOUT THAT.
03:36:54 I KNOW IT'S COMING OUT OF A PARTICULAR FUNDING SOURCE.
03:36:58 BECAUSE NOTHING COMES FREE, YOU KNOW.
03:37:00 AND ULTIMATELY, IT COMES TO THE KIND OF LEVEL OF THE
03:37:03 SERVICE THAT THE CITY OF PEOPLE OF TAMPA WANT WITH FIRE
03:37:06 AS WELL AS POLICE, EMS, ET CETERA.
03:37:09 WHAT KIND OF A LEVEL OF SERVICE DO THEY WANT?
03:37:11 THEY WANT A PRETTY GOOD LEVEL OF SERVICE.
03:37:13 BECAUSE IF THAT WAS MY 72-YEAR-OLD MOM WHO LIVES IN
03:37:16 TEMPLE TERRACE, NOT THE CITY OF TAMPA, I WANT THE BEST
03:37:19 LEVEL OF SERVICE.
03:37:20 AND WE ARE ALL COMMITTED TO TO THAT.
03:37:22 BUT IN CLOSING, CHIEF, I WANTED TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
03:37:26 YOUR HARD WORK, R.
03:37:27 YOU ARE JUST BEGINNING AT THIS AND YOU ARE DOING A HECK
03:37:30 OF A GREAT JOB.
03:37:31 SO THANK YOU, MA'AM.
03:37:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, YOU HAD
03:37:34 SOMETHING, THEN GUDES.
03:37:38 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I D.THANK YOU, CHIEF.
03:37:40 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE SLIDE
03:37:42 PRESENTATION.
03:37:45 CAN YOU GO BACK?
03:37:48 WELL, IT WAS ONE RIGHT BEFORE THE END THAT HAD A LIST.
03:37:57 THE ONE THAT HAD THE LIST ABOUT THINGS WE NEED TO DO,
03:38:00 WHAT STATIONS WE NEED TO REBUILD, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
03:38:06 >>CHIEF TRIPP: I HAVE A COUPLE.
03:38:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NOT THAT ONE.
03:38:11 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: GO TO THE OTHER ONE.
03:38:14 THERE YOU GO.
03:38:15 SO WHAT SORT OF MONEY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
03:38:19 HAS THAT BEEN EVEN BALLPARKED IN TERMS OF A FIGURE FOR
03:38:23 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS SUCH AS ACQUISITION AND BUILDING
03:38:26 FIRE STATIONS, OR FOR DAY TO DAY OPERATIONAL EXPENSES
03:38:31 WITH THE ADDITIONAL 27 FTEs OVER TWO YEARS?
03:38:38 >>CHIEF TRIPP: SO I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF
03:38:39 AND THE BUDGET OFFICE FINANCE AND THEY ARE WORKING ON THE
03:38:41 INFORMATION.
03:38:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO THERE'S A BALLPARK OR --
03:38:48 >>CHIEF TRIPP: A BALLPARK.
03:38:57 [INDISCERNIBLE]
03:39:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHOEVER IS SPEAKING, PLEASE MUTE
03:39:01 YOURSELF.
03:39:01 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'M SURE WE WILL BE HEARING MORE
03:39:06 LATER.
03:39:06 THANK YOU.
03:39:06 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.
03:39:11 FIRST OFF, I WANT TO REITERATE WHAT -- EXCUSE ME, I WOULD
03:39:14 LIKE TO JOIN IN WITH COUNCILMAN VIERA.
03:39:17 CHIEF, YOU HAVE REMAINED CALM UNDER FAIR.
03:39:20 AND FOR YOUR FIRST TIME UP HERE, YOU DIDN'T NEED A
03:39:24 BLINDFOLD OR A CIGARETTE.
03:39:26 SO I AM HOPING THAT OUR MAYOR IS LISTENING AT THIS TIME
03:39:29 AND YOU BECOME PERMANENT CHIEF.
03:39:31 I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT WE ALL HAVE OUR DIFFERENT
03:39:35 DISTRICTS.
03:39:37 WE AT LARGE HERE OVER THE WHOLE CITY.
03:39:39 BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF CITIZENS WHO MAY BE SAYING, WE
03:39:42 NEED A NEW FIRE -- BUT JUST TO SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED WHEN
03:39:47 THE CITY COUNCIL IS GETTING INVOLVED.
03:39:49 WE GOT A NEW FIRE RESCUE WHEN COUNCILMAN GUDES ASKED FOR
03:39:53 IT.
03:39:53 COUNCILMAN VIERA ASKED FOR HELP AT STATION 13.
03:39:56 THAT'S ON ITS WAY.
03:39:58 I AM HOPING THAT WE WILL GET THAT STATION DOWNTOWN SOONER
03:40:02 THAN LATER.
03:40:03 I ALSO WANT TO THANK ADMINISTRATION, CHIEF BENNETT, AND
03:40:08 OTHERS THAT HAVE HELPED IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, AND
03:40:11 THEIR HELP WITH HELPING FIRE RESCUE.
03:40:14 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.
03:40:14 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN GUDES.
03:40:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU KNOW, IT ALL STARTED BACK IN OUR
03:40:24 FIRST YEAR, A LITTLE STATION CALLED ENGINE 10.
03:40:34 AND I LOOKED BACK TO WHERE WE HAD TO COMPROMISE SOME
03:40:39 DEALS MADE WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO GET THAT MOVING.
03:40:42 WE STILL DIDN'T GET WHAT WE NEEDED AT ENGINE 107 PER SE
03:40:46 TO GET THAT PLACE.
03:40:49 TAMPA NUMBER TWO OLDEST STATION IN THE CITY IF NOT THE
03:40:52 STATE.
03:40:54 THAT TELLS YOU HOW OLD IT IS.
03:40:56 SO WE CAN DO BONDS FOR POTENTIALLY PIPES, WE CAN DO BONDS
03:41:03 FOR A LOT OF THINGS BUT EVENTUALLY TALK ABOUT BONDS IN
03:41:07 REFERENCE TO GETTING OUT EMERGENCY SERVICES UP IN THE
03:41:09 CITY, WITH SOME OF THESE FIRE STATIONS, WHICH INCLUDES
03:41:13 10.
03:41:16 SO THERE NEED TO BE CONVERSATIONS LATER ON DOWN THE LINE
03:41:21 OR SOME KINDS OF BONDS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR THESE
03:41:26 TRUCKS, FOR THESE PROGRAMS.
03:41:28 BUT I JUST SIT BACK AND I SAY, ENGINE NUMBER 10, FOR MR.
03:41:35 VIERA TO DEAL WITH NUMBER 13 AND SOME OF THE OTHER
03:41:37 ISSUES, AND OF COURSE I KEEP SAYING THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK
03:41:40 AT CHANNELSIDE AND DOWNTOWN.
03:41:44 I'M GLAD CHIEF THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT A VEHICLE TO THE
03:41:49 NORTH BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT.
03:41:50 YOU HAVE GOT TO BRING A BIG TRUCK WAY SOMEPLACE SOUTH OF
03:41:53 HERE ALL THE WAY TO THE NORTH END OR BIG HEAVY LADDER
03:41:57 TRUCK, YOU KNOW, HEAVY EQUIPMENT, AND WE ARE A BIG CITY.
03:42:03 SO WE HAVE TO HAVE EQUIPMENT EVERYWHERE READY TO GO
03:42:06 BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO SITUATIONS.
03:42:08 YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN.
03:42:09 SO I APPLAUD YOU FOR THE WORK, AND LIKE MR. CITRO SAID,
03:42:16 YOU HAVE A LOT OF THINGS QUICKLY TO MOVE AND WE THANK
03:42:18 YOU.
03:42:19 WE THANK THE ADMINISTRATION FOR LOOKING -- [~AUDIO
03:42:27 DISTORTION~]
03:42:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE MUTE YOURSELF IF YOU ARE NOT
03:42:29 SPEAKING.
03:42:31 >> SO THIS COUNCIL SAYS THANK YOU BECAUSE WE KNOW THE
03:42:34 WORK YOU ARE DOING, AND AGAIN THE MASTER PLAN, AND YOU
03:42:37 TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES, ABOUT --
03:42:43 >>> I DON'T KNOW WHO IS SPEAKING, BUT PLEASE MATT
03:42:45 YOURSELF.
03:42:45 YOU ARE INTERRUPTING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
03:42:46 >> I JUST THINK THE BEST PART IS SHE HAS A GOOD ATTITUDE.
03:42:54 >>LUIS VIERA: WHO SAID THAT?
03:42:57 GOOD ATTITUDE.
03:42:58 [ LAUGHTER ]
03:43:09 >> MAYBE SHE KNEW MORE THAN HER --
03:43:14 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MAYBE WE ARE INTERRUPTING THEIR
03:43:16 MEETING.
03:43:16 >> AND DIDN'T WANT TO MULTITASK BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SHE
03:43:22 WAS TOO --
03:43:23 >> WHO IS SHE REFERRING TO?
03:43:25 >>THE CLERK: WHOEVER CALLED IN, YOU NEED TO MUTE
03:43:29 YOURSELF.
03:43:29 >>LUIS VIERA: DO WE KNOW WHO THIS IS SO WE CAN CALL
03:43:36 THEM, BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING SAID.
03:43:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY: DOES THE CLERK HAVE A LIST OF WHO IS ON
03:43:41 LINE PRESENTLY?
03:43:44 >> IT'S NOT ANYONE LOGGED INTO THE WEBINAR.
03:43:46 THEY HAD TO CALL IN.
03:43:50 THEY NEED TO MUTE THEMSELVES.
03:43:52 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND WHO WOULD BE CALLING IN FOR
03:43:54 SOMEBODY NOT --
03:43:56 >> STUFF LIKE THAT FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
03:43:58 >> SO EVERYBODY REMEMBER THAT VOICE.
03:44:03 >> BUT IT WOULD BE MORE THAN TO LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE
03:44:10 DOING, NOT TO ACTUALLY DO THE WORK.
03:44:12 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS IT ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS, THE
03:44:15 LEGAL DEPARTMENT?
03:44:15 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS IT SOMEONE WITH TAMPA FIRE?
03:44:25 TNI WAS ON THE LAWN OR SOMEONE ELSE?
03:44:29 LET'S TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS.
03:44:31 YES.
03:50:29 (CITY COUNCIL RECESS).
03:50:32
03:50:32 (ROLL CALL IN PROGRESS).
03:59:02 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
03:59:03 >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE A QUORUM.
03:59:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CHIEF, GO AHEAD.
03:59:07 >>CHIEF TRIPP: UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
03:59:09 FOR ME.
03:59:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THE
03:59:11 CHIEF?
03:59:12 HEARING NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:59:13 WE APPRECIATE THAT REPORT.
03:59:15 WE APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
03:59:18 COUNCILMEMBER VIERA, YOU DESERVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
03:59:22 [ APPLAUSE ]
03:59:23 WHICH I AGREE WITH.
03:59:26 I HEAR NOTHING BUT WONDERFUL THINGS ESPECIALLY FROM THESE
03:59:30 TWO GENTLEMEN HERE AT THE LECTERN, MR. CARTER AND GRECO.
03:59:36 OH, YOU ARE BACK.
03:59:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANDREW CARTER, VICE PRESIDENT, TAMPA
03:59:41 FIRE LOCAL 754.
03:59:43 I WANT TO SAY HOW IMPRESSED WE ARE WITH THE MIDTERM,
03:59:46 SHORT TERM, LONG-TERM GOAL.
03:59:48 IT'S REALLY A STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE CAN GET QUANTIFIABLE
03:59:51 DATA AND MAKE SURE WE ARE MAKING THESE RESPONSE TIMES.
03:59:54 FANNED WE ARE NOT WE CAN ADJUST THOSE UNITS IN THAT
03:59:57 TERRITORY.
03:59:57 THIS REALLY HAS BEEN A BRAIN TRUST.
04:00:00 CHIEF TRIPP, ALONG WITH INTERIM CHIEFS IN THE BACK, ALONG
04:00:03 WITH OURSELVES, WORKED TOGETHER TO FORMULATE A FLORIDA,
04:00:06 MOSTLY THEIRS BUT THEY DID TAKE SOME INPUT FROM US
04:00:11 RESPONDING ON THE STREET.
04:00:12 SO WE HAVE HAVE SEEN AS MUCH MOVEMENT IN SIX WEEKS OF
04:00:18 CHIEF TRIPP BECOMING A FAIR CHIEF, WITH THE SUPER BOWL,
04:00:20 AND A PANDEMIC.
04:00:21 SO THIS IS TREMENDOUS.
04:00:26 ALSO ACCREDITATION.
04:00:29 I JUST WANT TO SAY TREMENDOUS WORK AND RELATIONSHIP.
04:00:31 WE LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
04:00:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GREAT.
04:00:34 IF YOU ARE HAPPY, WE ARE HAPPY.
04:00:36 AND THE PEOPLE ARE HAPPY.
04:00:38 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:00:39 THAT CONCLUDES --
04:00:41 >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR.
04:00:43 AND I WAS GOING TO MAKE THESE MOTIONS AT THE END BUT JUST
04:00:45 TO LET YOU KNOW, CHIEF, I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO
04:00:48 ONCE THE CHANGES -- LET ME ASK YOU, IF I MAY, HOW LONG
04:00:52 SHOULD IT TAKE FOR THE RATE HERE RIGHT NOW, MADE IT IN
04:00:58 THE MOTION, LANGUAGE TO BE MADE AND IMPLEMENTED?
04:01:02 >>CHIEF TRIPP: 30 DAYS.
04:01:05 45.
04:01:07 WE HAVE THE SUPER BOWL.
04:01:08 AND TO GET OUR EQUIPMENT, ALL THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE
04:01:14 APPARATUS.
04:01:17 JUST MAKE MINOR LOGISTIC CHANGES.
04:01:22 >>LUIS VIERA: SO JUST FOR MY MOTION AT THE END, AND THEN
04:01:25 ALSO I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION, I ALWAYS LIKE TO TELL
04:01:28 YOU BEFORE, IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAME UP YESTERDAY, WITH
04:01:30 SOME OF THE TREES AROUND STATION 13 TO HAVE THEM TRIMMED,
04:01:33 AND APPARENTLY THEY ALWAYS GET HIT BY THE TREES.
04:01:36 SO I WAS GOING TO JUST ASK FOR A REPORT IN THAT REGARD.
04:01:39 JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT'S COMING DOWN.
04:01:41 THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH.
04:01:43 THANK YOU.
04:01:44 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
04:01:45 ALL RIGHT.
04:01:45 ITEM NUMBER 86.
04:01:47 WE HAVE A MEMO FROM MS. ABBYE FEELEY REGARDING RENAMING
04:01:51 OF THE STREET IN FRONT OF BROWN'S MEMORIAL CHURCH.
04:01:54 ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, COUNCILMAN GUDES?
04:01:57 THIS IS YOUR MOTION, SIR.
04:01:59 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I BELIEVE MS. FEELEY IS GOING TO SPEAK
04:02:03 TO THAT, SIR.
04:02:04 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I KNOW YOU HAVE A MEMO SENT BUT IF
04:02:06 YOU HAVE ANYTHING, GO AHEAD.
04:02:07 >>ABBYE FEELEY: GOOD AFTERNOON.
04:02:10 DIRECTOR DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
04:02:14 AND I DID PROVIDE YOU WITH A MEMORANDUM CONCERNING STREET
04:02:18 RENAMING WITHIN THE CITY, STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES,
04:02:22 HOW WE WORK TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE A SYSTEM FOR BOTH OUR
04:02:31 RESIDENTS AND OUR CITIZENS, AND VISITORS TO COME INTO THE
04:02:39 CITY.
04:02:42 I DID PROVIDE, I THINK, IN MY MEMORANDUM, KIND OF AN
04:02:46 OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE ARE, WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATION IS, AND
04:02:52 WHAT MANY OF YOU SEE AROUND TOWN THAT LOOKS LIKE A STREET
04:02:56 RENAMING IS REALLY AN HONORARIUM, SO I DO HAVE SOME
04:03:01 PICTURES OF THOSE, IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN SEEING
04:03:04 THEM.
04:03:05 BUT I THINK AS I DISCUSSED WITH COUNCILMAN GUDES, IN THE
04:03:10 SENSE THAT IT'S AN HONORARIUM, I MAY THE WAY TO GO AND
04:03:15 THAT WOULD BE DONE -- IT WOULD NOT BE AN OFFICIAL STREET
04:03:19 RENAMING.
04:03:19 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ME AND MS. FEELEY, I ALWAYS SAY TELL ME
04:03:29 WHAT YOU CAN DO, NOT WHAT YOU CAN'T DO.
04:03:32 AND I CAME UP WITH WHAT WE FEEL WE CAN'T DO.
04:03:34 SO I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION AT THE END, AND ASK THE
04:03:38 MOBILITY DEPARTMENT TO LOOK IN ABOUT THE HONORARY SIGN
04:03:41 FOR BISHOP WILLIAMS.
04:03:43 ALSO, FOR DR. REVEREND REED AS WELL.
04:03:47 SO GET THOSE OUT OF THE WAY.
04:03:50 AGAIN, MS. FEELEY, THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALLS AND US
04:03:53 WORKING THROUGH WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY
04:03:58 HONORING THOSE WHO NEED TO BE HONORED.
04:04:00 SO THANK YOU AGAIN.
04:04:01 >>ABBYE FEELEY: ONE THING I DID WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON, AND
04:04:04 I DID TALK THIS MORNING AS WELL AS ABOUT THIS, WE DON'T
04:04:09 WANT TO MAKE THIS STANDARD PRACTICE THROUGHOUT THE CITY,
04:04:13 SO WE SHOULD LOOK AND WORK TOGETHER, PROBABLY COME BACK
04:04:17 AT A LATER TIME TO DISCUSS WHAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE
04:04:21 PARAMETERS, IF WE DO SEEK TO MOVE FORWARD, PERHAPS FOR
04:04:26 YOUR CONSIDERATION A LIMITATION, IT HAS TO BE SOMEONE WHO
04:04:32 IS DECEASED, SOME OTHER CRITERIA, SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE
04:04:36 TO SUPPORT AND ORGANIZE THINKING ABOUT A VERY FUNCTIONAL
04:04:43 EMERGENCY SERVICE SYSTEM TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE GETTING
04:04:49 EXPEDITIOUS SERVICES TO OUR CITIZENS.
04:04:50 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WOULD AGREE AND WE CAN BRING
04:04:56 SOMETHING BACK TO LOOK AT THEM.
04:04:57 THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP.
04:04:59 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:05:01 THAT CONCLUDES ITEM NUMBER 86.
04:05:03 ITEM NUMBER 87 IS A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER VIERA
04:05:08 REGARDING OPPOSITION OF HB 523 REGARDING PREEMPTION OF
04:05:15 THE CITY OF TAMPA APPRENTICESHIP ORDINANCE.
04:05:18 COUNCILMAN VIERA, THIS IS YOUR MOTION.
04:05:20 >>LUIS VIERA: AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO TALK FOR 30
04:05:23 MINUTES ABOUT IT I KNOW WE WANT TO GO HOME.
04:05:25 BUT THANK YOU, MR. SHELBY, FOR YOUR HARD WORK IN THAT
04:05:27 REGARD.
04:05:28 THIS IS ANOTHER TERRIBLE ATTACK ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT, IN
04:05:32 AN AREA THAT'S VERY CRITICAL.
04:05:34 WE HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THE LAST YEAR ON FASHIONING
04:05:36 TOGETHER A STATE CERTIFIED APPRENTICESHIP ORDINANCE, AND
04:05:39 WE ARE NOT FINISHED IN OUR TALKS, BUT WE ARE ON OUR WAY
04:05:41 TO SOMETHING THAT IS VERY GOOD, VERY COLLABORATIVE AND
04:05:44 WHATNOT.
04:05:45 AND THIS WOULD BE A MEASURE THAT A HAMMER THAT SEES ALL
04:05:54 MUNICIPAL EFFORTS AS A NAIL.
04:05:55 IT'S OVERBROAD, PUNITIVE, AND SHOULD BE DEFEATED AND I
04:05:59 HOPE OUR FRIENDS IN TALLAHASSEE REJECT THIS.
04:06:01 SO JUST URGE COUNCIL'S SUPPORT.
04:06:03 THANK YOU.
04:06:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE
04:06:05 THAT RESOLUTION?
04:06:06 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, I WOULD.
04:06:07 >> WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMEMBER VIERA TO MOVE THIS
04:06:10 RESOLUTION.
04:06:11 ITEM NUMBER 87.
04:06:12 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
04:06:13 WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER CITRO.
04:06:15 ALL IN FAVOR?
04:06:17 ANY OPPOSED?
04:06:19 VERY GOOD.
04:06:20 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
04:06:21 NEXT UP WE HAVE ITEM NUMBER 88, WHICH IS TIED INTO ITEM 9
04:06:27 WHICH WE DID NOT VOTE ON REGARDING THE CITY'S FLOOD
04:06:31 ORDINANCE.
04:06:32 MS. FEELEY, I BELIEVE, THERE YOU ARE ON THE LINE.
04:06:35 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD.
04:06:40 >>ABBYE FEELEY: GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
04:06:41 THIS IS ABBYE FEELEY.
04:06:43 I AM HERE TODAY WITH DAVE DUNNING, OUR FLOODPLAIN
04:06:47 MANAGER, J.C.HUTCHINSON, OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL.
04:06:51 WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR YOU THIS AFTERNOON IN
04:06:53 RELATION TO THE UPDATED FLOOD MAPS, AND THE FLOOD
04:06:58 ORDINANCE.
04:06:58 CATE WELLS IS HERE WITH US AS WELL.
04:07:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
04:07:05 IT'S ON THE SCREEN.
04:07:06 >>ABBYE FEELEY: OKAY.
04:07:08 WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.
04:07:09 I KNOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD FROM DIFFERENT VENUES
04:07:13 THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES IN UPDATING
04:07:18 OUR FLOOD MAPS.
04:07:19 FIRST SLIDE, PLEASE.
04:07:28 IF CITY DOES PARTICIPATE IN THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE
04:07:30 PROGRAM.
04:07:30 THE NFIP HAS TWO MAIN GOALS, TO PROVIDE OUR CITIZENS WITH
04:07:34 ACCESS TO FLOOD INSURANCE, AND THE SECOND IS TO MITIGATE
04:07:38 AND REDUCE COMPREHENSIVE FLOOD RISKS.
04:07:42 AND A LOT OF THAT COMES THROUGH THE WAY WE BUILD WITHIN
04:07:44 THESE AREAS.
04:07:47 ALL OF THIS, AND OUR PARTICIPATION, RESULTS IN A REDUCED
04:07:51 FLOOD PREMIUM, A REDUCTION, IN FLOOD INSURANCE FOR OUR
04:07:55 CITIZENS.
04:07:56 SO WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS.
04:07:58 AND THIS IS DONE THROUGH A WAITING SYSTEM.
04:08:00 THEY ARE CURRENTLY OUT AT 5, AND MANY OF THE MEASURES WE
04:08:05 ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY WILL HELP US POSITION TO
04:08:07 GET INTO A CRS RATING OF 4 AND ALSO RESULT NO GREATER
04:08:12 REDUCTION IN PREMIUMS FOR OUR RESIDENTS.
04:08:15 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
04:08:20 THE FLOOD MAPS ARE TYPICALLY UPDATED EVERY TEN YEARS.
04:08:23 OUR CURRENT MAPS CONTAIN 22,726 PROPERTIES.
04:08:28 THE NEW MAP INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL 10,200 PROPERTIES,
04:08:32 WITHIN THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS.
04:08:36 AND THESE ARE TYPICALLY B AND AB DISTRICTS.
04:08:46 ON THE NEXT SLIDE, I HAVE A MAP OF JUST THE SOUTHERN
04:08:50 PENINSULA, IT GOES A LITTLE BIT FURTHER NORTH, BUT
04:08:54 THERE'S REALLY NOT TOO MANY PROPERTIES NORTH OF THERE.
04:08:58 THIS IS A COASTAL MAP UPDATE.
04:09:00 ON THE LEFT YOU SEE OUR CURRENT AND THE MAIN COLORS THERE
04:09:06 FOR YOU ARE THE RED AND THE DEEPER ORANGE.
04:09:09 THAT IS Z AND AE ZONES.
04:09:14 ON THE RIGHT SIDE YOU SEE OUR NEW MAP, AND THAT INCREASE
04:09:17 TO THOSE AREAS THAT ARE NOW CONTAINED WITHIN THE SPECIAL
04:09:24 FLOOD HAZARD AREA.
04:09:28 WE HAVE DONE A SERIES OF PUBLIC OUTREACH WHEN THE MAPS
04:09:33 WERE BEING CONSIDERED FOR UPDATE.
04:09:36 WE DID SEND OUT DOCUMENTATION TO EACH OF THE AFFECTED
04:09:40 PROPERTY OWNERS.
04:09:42 IN ADDITION, WE ARE ON THE NEXT SLIDE, SORRY.
04:09:45 IN ADDITION, WE DID HOLD PUBLIC INFORMATION WORKSHOPS IN
04:09:49 PARTNERSHIP WITH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AT THE JAN B. PLATT
04:09:53 LIBRARY.
04:09:54 WE HAD ABOUT 500 PEOPLE ON APRIL 7th AND ABOUT 700
04:09:58 PEOPLE ON APRIL 4th THAT PARTICIPATED IN THESE
04:10:02 WORKSHOPS.
04:10:03 THE MAJORITY OF THOSE RESIDENTS HAPPEN TO BE IN THE
04:10:06 COUNTY, BUT THIS WAS A JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN US AND THE
04:10:08 COUNTY, SO WE DID HOLD THOSE.
04:10:12 IN RELATION TO THE HEIGHT DEFINITION WHICH I AM GOING TO
04:10:16 GET INTO MOMENTARILY WHICH WAS ALSO IN THE MEMORANDUM I
04:10:19 PROVIDED, COUNCIL DID ADOPT THE NEW DEFINITION MUCH
04:10:25 HEIGHT BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019, AND SUBSEQUENTLY,
04:10:28 BEFORE IT WENT TO SECOND READING, THERE WAS SOME PUBLIC
04:10:33 COMMENT THAT CAME OUT, AND WE DID HOLD PUBLIC INFORMATION
04:10:35 MEETINGS ON THE 18th AND 20th OF NOVEMBER IN
04:10:39 2019.
04:10:42 THE NEXT SET OF SLIDES, I AM GOING TO ASK DAVE JENNINGS
04:10:47 TO SPEAK TO.
04:10:48 I KNOW IT'S THE END OF THE DAY.
04:10:50 YOU GUYS HAD A LOT TODAY.
04:10:52 BUT I DO WANT HIM TO BRIEFLY GO THROUGH SOME OF THESE
04:10:55 ITEMS SO THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE IN THE
04:10:59 MAPS, WHAT IT MEANS REALLY FOR OUR BUILDINGS GOING
04:11:02 FORWARD, AND THEN ALSO WHAT IT MEANS IN RELATION TO OUR
04:11:06 FLOOD ORDINANCE AND UPDATING THAT TO MAKE CLARIFICATIONS.
04:11:10 DAVE?
04:11:11 >> DAVE JENNINGS: THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME.
04:11:14 I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.
04:11:17 JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS ON ACRONYMS.
04:11:20 WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT A LITTLE YEARLY.
04:11:22 YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR A LOT ABOUT IS BASE FLOOD
04:11:25 ELEVATION, BFE, AND BFE, DESIGN FLOOD ELEVATION.
04:11:32 THE BFEs ARE TYPICALLY LABELED WITH ELEVATIONS AND
04:11:35 THOSE ARE WHAT THE FLOOD MAPS ARE DETERMINED TO BE.
04:11:39 THE ONE YEAR CHANCE OF A HISTORICAL FLOOD, A FIVE YEAR
04:11:43 EVENT.
04:11:44 AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW OF THOSE 100
04:11:47 YEAR EVENTS OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, BUT HAPPEN MORE
04:11:51 OFTEN THAN THAT.
04:11:52 SOME OF THE BFEs ESTABLISHED DID NOT HAVE FLOOD
04:11:55 ELEVATIONS.
04:11:56 THOSE HAVE TO BE DETERMINED BY THE CITY OF TAMPA FLOOD
04:12:00 ADMINISTRATOR, WHICH IS ME.
04:12:02 WE HAVE TO DETERMINE WHAT THOSE ELEVATIONS WOULD BE.
04:12:04 THOSE ARE MOSTLY IN THE INTERIOR AREAS WHICH IS RIVER ARE
04:12:09 UP IN TAMPA WHERE WE HAVE SOME OF THE FLOODINGS UP THERE.
04:12:12 THEY ARE NOT IN PART OF THE COASTAL.
04:12:14 THE DESIGN FLOOD ELEVATION IS A REQUIREMENT THAT THE MAPS
04:12:17 DO NOT PROVIDE.
04:12:18 THEY ONLY PROVIDE A BASE FLOOD.
04:12:20 THE DESIGN FLOOD ELEVATION IS WHAT IS PROVIDED TO US IN
04:12:23 THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, WHICH IS IF FLORIDA BUILDING
04:12:27 CODE HOUSE AS LOT OF THE DETERMINATIONS OF TECHNICAL
04:12:30 REQUIREMENTS ON HOW TO BUILD IN A FLOOD ZONE, WHETHER
04:12:33 IT'S A -- [INDISCERNIBLE] NEXT SLIDE.
04:12:41 THANK YOU.
04:12:41 I WANT TO FOCUS, THIS SLIDE WE USED IN SOME OTHER AREAS.
04:12:44 I WANT TO FOCUS ON THE TOP LEFT OF THAT SLIDE.
04:12:48 IN THE ZONES YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PUT IN FILL TO PUT
04:12:53 YOUR STRUCTURE ON.
04:12:55 FILL IS PROHIBITED.
04:12:56 SO ALL OF THE VELOCITY ZONES INCREASE OF THE VELOCITY
04:13:00 ZONES, ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS, EVEN THOUGH THE
04:13:04 ELEVATIONS HAVE INCREASED GREATLY, SOME AS LITTLE AS FOUR
04:13:09 FEET, SOME TELEPHONES AS MUCH AS EIGHT FEET, YOU WILL NOT
04:13:12 BE PUTTING A STRUCTURE IN ON TOP OF FILL, WHEREAS THE
04:13:15 NEIGHBORHOOD COULD BE IMPACTED BY DRAINAGE, MORE
04:13:17 ADDITIONAL FLOODING TO BRAINSTORM.
04:13:20 SO THAT IS NOT AN ALLOWED ITEM.
04:13:23 YOU ARE ALSO NOT ALLOWED TO BUILD A STEM WALL FOUNDATION,
04:13:29 VIRTUALLY BUILD IT UP.
04:13:31 THOSE WALLS WOULD HAVE TO BE BREAK AWAY, OR THE RATE TWO
04:13:36 SLIDES OF THAT SLIDE, THEY WOULD BE DEEP PAIL FOUNDATIONS
04:13:38 OR ACTUALLY STILTED STRUCTURES, YOU WOULD SEE IN A
04:13:43 VELOCITY ZONE OR STEM WALL LINE.
04:13:46 THOSE ARE THINGS THAT YOU WILL SEE COMING FORWARD, BUT WE
04:13:48 JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE PUT IN THIS SLIDE TO BE LET
04:13:54 EVERYONE KNOW THAT FILL IS NOT ALLOWED, SO WE WILL NOT BE
04:13:57 FILLING ALL THE LOTS THEN PUT STRUCTURES ON TOP OF.
04:14:02 THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE ELEVATED STRUCTURES.
04:14:04 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
04:14:08 THE CITY OF TAMPA FIRST ADOPTED A FIRST ORDINANCE FOR
04:14:12 FLOOD ORDINANCE OF 2004.
04:14:14 IT WAS UPDATED IN 2008 WHEN WE RECEIVED OUR NEW MAPS IN
04:14:18 2008.
04:14:19 IT IS WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA'S ORDINANCE IN CHAPTER 5.
04:14:26 THE SPECIFIC SECTION.
04:14:27 SO WE ARE UPDATING THAT SECTION.
04:14:29 SOME OF THE ITEMS IN THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE THAT YOU ARE
04:14:33 LOOKING AT HAVE LOCAL AMENDMENTS.
04:14:38 AS I SAID EARLIER, THAT FLORIDA BUILDING CODE DICTATES
04:14:42 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS ON HOW YOU BUILD IN A FLOOD ZONE.
04:14:46 WE HAVE ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL AMENDMENT TO THAT AS WE ARE
04:14:49 REQUIRED TO DO WITH THE NEW STATE MODEL FLOOD ORDINANCE.
04:14:53 WE CORRECTED THE SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE, CHANGED THE LANGUAGE
04:14:56 IN IT TO MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR FOR OUR CITIZENS.
04:14:59 IF YOU HAVE A DAMAGED STRUCTURE YOU CAN RECEIVE --
04:15:06 STORAGE REMOVAL AND BUILDING A NEW STRUCTURE.
04:15:09 (DOG BARKING)
04:15:10 THEY WILL PROVIDE MONEYS FOR YOU TO ELEVATE IT TO GET IT
04:15:13 OUT OF THE FLOOD ZONE.
04:15:15 THE SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT, WHICH EVERYONE CALLS THE 6%
04:15:20 RECALL FOR IMPROVEMENTS, THAT WOULD CHANGE SOME OF THE
04:15:22 LANGUAGE, CLEAN UP THE LANGUAGE SO IT'S CLEAR ON HOW IT'S
04:15:26 DONE.
04:15:27 WE PUT IN SOME NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT COSTS
04:15:30 IN THAT.
04:15:34 HOW WE DETERMINE SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT.
04:15:36 WE ARE GOING TO -- SO IT WILL BE NO MORE.
04:15:41 PROVIDING ESTIMATES ON WORK TO THEIR STRUCTURE THAT THEY
04:15:43 GOT TO GET FAIR MARKET VALUE BECAUSE THEY ARE RECEIVING
04:15:47 SOME DRYWALL FROM A FRIEND OF THERE'S.
04:15:50 THAT BECOMES A HUGE PROBLEM FOR OUR CITIZENS AND ALSO FOR
04:15:52 STAFF ON HOW WE ENFORCE THAT.
04:15:54 >> MR. JENNINGS --
04:15:58 >> ALSO A TIME PERIOD ON SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT.
04:16:01 WE ARE IMPROVING THAT BY CLARIFYING THE LANGUAGE TO MAKE
04:16:04 SURE IT'S UNDERSTOOD THAT WE HAVE WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED
04:16:07 A LOOK-BACK, A ONE-YEAR LOOK BACK, SO ANY STRUCTURE
04:16:11 THAT'S BEING IMPROVED SUBSTANTIALLY, WE WILL LOOK AT
04:16:15 OTHER PERMITS THAT WERE DONE WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND ADD
04:16:18 ONTO THAT CURRENT REQUEST.
04:16:20 THAT WAY, WE CAN GET MORE COMPLIANCE ON THE STRUCTURES TO
04:16:23 MAKE SURE.
04:16:26 THAT ITEM GIVES US SOME OF THE POINTS IN SERVICE RATING,
04:16:32 GIVES US A LOWER INSURANCE RATE.
04:16:33 THAT'S A BIG DOLLAR ITEM THAT WE ARE ABLE TO USE.
04:16:36 WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE INCLUDING A REQUIREMENT FOR
04:16:40 RECORDING A NONCONVERSION AGREEMENT, WHERE THE AREA BELOW
04:16:44 THE STRUCTURE THAT DOES NOT COMPLY TO THE DESIGN
04:16:49 ELEVATION, WE ARE GOING TO NOT ONLY JUST LIMIT IT TO 100
04:16:52 SQUARE FEET FOR STORAGE SPACE, NOT FOR PARKING GARAGE
04:16:56 THAT'S APPROVABLE, ALONG WITH A TREE AREA.
04:16:59 YOU CAN ADD THOSE ON THERE.
04:17:00 BUT ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGES THAT YOU MAY 2021 CLOSE
04:17:03 OFF, WE ARE GOING TO LIMIT THAT AND ALSO REQUIRE A
04:17:06 RECORDED, NONCONVERSION AGREEMENT SO THAT IT WILL TRAVEL
04:17:10 WITH THE PROPERTY, SO OWNERS BUYING PROPERTY WON'T COME
04:17:14 UNDERNEATH, THAT THEY WEREN'T DISCLOSED AT TITLE, THAT
04:17:19 THAT STRUCTURE DIDN'T COMPLY.
04:17:20 THIS WAY, WE CAN HELP CLEAN THAT UP.
04:17:24 THAT I LOOKED UP FOR YOU TODAY, THAT'S GOING TO GIVE US
04:17:27 BETWEEN 30 AND 60 ADDITIONAL POINTS.
04:17:29 AND WE ARE ABOUT 100 POINTS OFF FROM REACHING OUR GOAL
04:17:33 FOR A CATEGORY 4.
04:17:34 SO WE VERY, VERY CLOSE ON CLOSING THAT OUT.
04:17:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:17:39 JUST A MOMENT, SIR.
04:17:41 THE CLERK HAS ASKED ME TO HOLD ON A SECOND.
04:17:44 WE ARE GOING TO MUTE EVERYONE, BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE THAT
04:17:47 FEEDBACK OF THAT OTHER CALLER THAT IS UNKNOWN.
04:17:50 WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A MOMENT TO DO THAT.
04:17:51 >>THE CLERK: MUTED.
04:17:58 UNMUTED.
04:17:59 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SULING, ARE WE GOING GOOD TO GO?
04:18:07 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, WE ARE GOOD TO GO.
04:18:10 ABBEY IS UNMUTED.
04:18:11 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, MR. JENNINGS.
04:18:13 I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
04:18:14 WE HAD TO CLEAR UP THE UNINVITED NOISE.
04:18:20 ALL RIGHT.
04:18:20 ANYTHING ELSE, MS. FEELEY, ANYTHING?
04:18:24 YOU ARE MUTED.
04:18:25 IF YOU COULD UNMUTE YOURSELF.
04:18:26 >>ABBYE FEELEY: SORRY.
04:18:33 I WENT TO JC'S OFFICE.
04:18:35 SO THANK YOU.
04:18:36 WE'LL KEEP GOING.
04:18:37 >> DAVID JENNINGS.
04:18:42 THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH MY END OF IT.
04:18:44 I WILL PASS IT OFF TO ABBEY TO TALK ABOUT THE NEXT SLIDE.
04:18:47 >>ABBYE FEELEY: ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO SAY ON THIS
04:18:50 SLIDE, THEY ARE ALSO GOING TO USE THE STANDARD
04:18:53 INTERNATIONAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS WHICH YOU ALL ARE
04:18:55 FAMILIAR WITH ON UTILIZATION WITHIN THE BONUS CRITERIA.
04:18:58 SO DAVE MENTIONED THAT IN ORDER TO REALLY LIMIT ANY KIND
04:19:04 OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS, SAYING BEING, WELL, WE GOT THIS
04:19:08 REALLY CHEAP, SO THAT'S A ZERO, AND THAT ALL FEEDS BACK
04:19:13 TO SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT 50%.
04:19:16 SO WE WILL GO ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE.
04:19:25 WE REALLY WORKED TOGETHER.
04:19:26 WE UPDATE THE MAPS, WHICH THEN IN TURN RESULT TO UPDATE
04:19:36 THE ORDINANCE AND HOW IT STARTS TO PLAY OUT IN
04:19:38 DEVELOPMENT IS NOW WE ARE HAVING TO ELEVATE STRUCTURES IN
04:19:40 ORDER TO MEET THE BASELINE ELEVATION.
04:19:45 I KNOW YOU HAD MULTIPLE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT.
04:19:48 THE LAST PIECE TO THIS IS REALLY THAT HATE PIECE.
04:19:51 IF WE CAN ADVANCE TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
04:19:53 AND THANK YOU.
04:19:58 SO RIGHT NOW, HEIGHT, BUILDING HEIGHT IS MEASURED FROM
04:20:03 FINISHED GRADE.
04:20:05 SO WHEN THEY TELL A RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER THAT THEY HAVE
04:20:11 TO NOW ELEVATE THE STRUCTURE FROM BASE FLOOD 4 TO BASE
04:20:16 FLOOD 9 AND YOU ARE STILL LEAVING THE GRADE AT 4, THEN
04:20:22 THERE'S 5 FEET YOU ARE LOSING IN THE 35 FEET THAT QUO
04:20:25 COME INTO PLAY FOR YOUR STRUCTURE HEIGHT IN A RESIDENCE.
04:20:28 THE DEFINITION THAT CAME TO YOU BACK ON SEPTEMBER 20, 19,
04:20:35 WAS TO ALLOW THAT HATE TO BE MEASURED FROM THE FINISHED
04:20:37 FLOOR.
04:20:38 AND OBVIOUSLY IN AREAS THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THE FLOOD
04:20:42 ZONES, THOSE FLOORS ARE NOT ELEVATED, SO LUCKILY THEY ARE
04:20:46 AT GRADE, BUT THIS IS REALLY TO ACCOMMODATE AND IF WE GO
04:20:52 BACK TO SLIDE 7 REAL QUICK -- SORRY TO DO THIS TO YOU,
04:20:56 BUT IF WE COULD GO BACK TO THAT DIAGRAM WITH THE HOUSE ON
04:20:59 THE RIGHT THERE, THAT'S REALLY SHOWING YOU WHEN THE
04:21:04 FINISHED FLOOR HAS TO BE BROUGHT UP, AND YOU HAVE THOSE
04:21:07 BREAKAWAY SPACES UNDERNEATH, WHICH ARE TYPICALLY USED FOR
04:21:11 GARAGES, YOU ARE PARKING NOW UNDER THE STRUCTURE THAT
04:21:15 HATE UNDER OUR CURRENT CODE WOULD STILL BE MEASURED FROM
04:21:19 THE FLOOR, FROM THE GROUND, DOWN AT THE BOTTOM THERE, BUT
04:21:23 IF WE ADOPT -- AND YOU DID ADOPT ON FIRST READING THE
04:21:27 HATE DEFINITION, THAT HATE WILL NOW BE MEASURED FROM THE
04:21:32 BASE FLOOD ELEVATION, WHICH IS THE FLOOR OF THE LIVING
04:21:36 SPACE ON THIS DIAGRAM, ROUGHLY, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE
04:21:40 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, UTILITIES, HAS TO BE OUT OF THAT
04:21:44 FLOOD AREA AS WELL.
04:21:47 SO THAT IS THE LAST COMPONENT.
04:21:53 WE ARE NOW BACK TO SLIDE 9.
04:21:58 THAT IS THE LAST COMPONENT OF REALLY ADDRESSING THIS ITEM
04:22:03 AND BRINGING IN ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS FROM THE
04:22:07 MAP, AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO THE ORDINANCE TO THE
04:22:12 DEFINITIONS.
04:22:13 SO NOW THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE IN ALIGNMENT.
04:22:18 THAT BEING SAID, WE DID -- ALSO I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW,
04:22:22 WE SPOKE WITH TBBA ON TUESDAY TO REFRESH AND GO OVER THIS
04:22:28 BEFORE THE MEETING, AND WE HAVE ALSO COMMITTED TO DO A
04:22:33 WORKSHOP WITH THEM AFTER THIS IS ADOPTED TO WORK THROUGH
04:22:36 SOME OF THOSE TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS.
04:22:40 WE HAVE ALSO DONE SOME OUTREACH.
04:22:43 IF YOU WILL OBLIGE US JUST FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES, I
04:22:47 WANTED JC TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE OUTREACH WE HAVE
04:22:51 DONE TO THE DEVELOPERS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT WORLD, TO LET
04:22:53 THEM KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, HOW TO GET VESTED, WHAT THEY
04:22:58 WILL BE ON THE BOOK FOR MOVING FORWARD.
04:23:01 IF HE COULD SHARE HIS SCREEN FOR JUST A MINUTE, WE HAVE
04:23:04 TWO SLIDES TO SHARE WITH YOU.
04:23:06 >> JC: GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
04:23:29 WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU REAL QUICKLY ON OUR WEBSITE, WE
04:23:32 HAVE GOT SEVERAL PLACES WHERE WE TRIED TO LET OUR BUILD
04:23:39 'N COMMUNITY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
04:23:41 ON THE WEBSITE ACROSS THE TOP THERE, YOU CAN SEE
04:23:44 CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.
04:23:45 SO THAT'S THE BANNER THERE.
04:23:46 HERE ON THE RIGHT IS AN E-MAIL THAT WENT OUT TO ALL
04:23:49 AFFILIATED, WHETHER YOU HAD AN ACTIVE PERMIT OR NOT, YOU
04:23:52 WERE NOTIFIED OF THE POTENTIAL CHANGES IN THE FLOOD MAP,
04:23:55 AND EVEN BEFORE THEN, IN DECEMBER AS WELL, OF ANY PLANS,
04:24:00 BECAUSE WE REALLY DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO BE -- TRYING TO
04:24:05 GET THESE PLANS APPROVED BEFORE THE 21st WHEN THE
04:24:08 OFFICIAL MAP CHANGE HAPPENS.
04:24:09 SO ANY PERMITS THAT HAVE BEEN IN PROCESS, THEY WERE GIVEN
04:24:12 THIS NOTE THAT THEY CAN PUT ON THE SITE PLAN SO THEY ARE
04:24:15 AWARE THAT THE PERMIT HAS TO BE ISSUED TO BE VESTED INTO
04:24:19 THE PREVIOUS MAPS.
04:24:21 THANK YOU.
04:24:21 >>ABBYE FEELEY: THANKS, JC.
04:24:27 SO WHERE WE ARE TODAY, WE WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER ANY OF THE
04:24:32 QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE BASED ON WHAT WE PRESENTED,
04:24:35 OR THE MEMORANDUM THAT I PRESENTED TO YOU BASED ON THIS
04:24:38 INFORMATION.
04:24:39 WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU WOULD BRING THE FLOOD ORDINANCE
04:24:44 BACK TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, OR A MOTION THAT IT WOULD
04:24:47 BE BROUGHT BACK TO YOU ON FIRST READING ON FEBRUARY
04:24:50 4th, AND THEN ALSO THE DEFINITION OF HATE WOULD
04:24:55 TRAVEL WITH THE ORDINANCE ON SECOND READING TO BRING ALL
04:24:58 OF THOSE ITEMS FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND TO MOVE FORWARD ON
04:25:02 THAT AND HAVE ALL OF THESE ITEMS ADOPTED.
04:25:06 THAT BEING SAID, WE ARE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU
04:25:09 MAY HAVE.
04:25:09 THE ONE THING I DID WANT TO MENTION, I DID WANT TO SAY
04:25:12 AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO BRING THIS FORWARD
04:25:15 TODAY.
04:25:17 ONCE THE STATE NOTIFIES US AT THE END OF THE MONTH, I
04:25:21 BELIEVE THE END OF JANUARY, WE HAVE SIX MONTHS FOR THIS
04:25:25 ADOPTION TO TAKE PLACE, AND KNOWING COVID AND ALL THE
04:25:28 OTHER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, TO ENSURE THAT WE DO KEEP
04:25:33 OUR PARTICIPATION CURRENT, AND THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE
04:25:37 RECEIVING THE DISCOUNTS WITH THEIR FLOOD PREMIUMS.
04:25:42 THE TIMING OF THIS WAS CRITICAL FOR US, AND I DO
04:25:45 APPRECIATE THAT ACCOMMODATION TODAY AND HELPING US
04:25:47 THROUGH THIS WORK.
04:25:48 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:25:49 ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH QUESTIONS?
04:25:55 HEARING NONE, THIS GOES BACK TO ITEM NUMBER 9.
04:25:59 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF WE CAN, MARTIN SHELBY.
04:26:03 IF I UNDERSTOOD, MS. FEELEY, THERE'S A MOTION RELATED TO
04:26:06 THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, NUMBER 88, I THINK?
04:26:11 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: 88.
04:26:12 AND THEN ITEM NUMBER 9, IT SAYS SEE 88.
04:26:17 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND WITH REGARD TO 88 CAN WE CONFIRM
04:26:19 WITH MS. FEELEY THAT THAT INVOLVES A MOTION TO COME BACK
04:26:23 WITH AN ORDINANCE FOR FIRST READING ON FEBRUARY 4th.
04:26:27 IS THAT CORRECT, MS. FEELEY, THE NUMBER?
04:26:30 WAS THAT YOUR REQUEST?
04:26:31 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MS. FEELEY, FEBRUARY 4th?
04:26:37 >>ABBYE FEELEY: YES.
04:26:38 THE ORDINANCE THAT THEY HAVE FOR CONSIDERATION TODAY ON
04:26:43 ITEM 9.
04:26:46 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WE COULD TAKE THAT AS A SEPARATE
04:26:49 MOTION.
04:26:50 >>ABBYE FEELEY: YES.
04:26:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
04:26:52 CAN I HAVE SOMEONE READ THE ORDINANCE FOR ITEM NUMBER 10?
04:26:57 >>MARTIN SHELBY: FORGIVE ME.
04:26:58 I WANT TO BE CLEAR.
04:27:00 IS A SEPARATE MOTION NEEDED FOR 88 TO COME BACK WITH AN
04:27:03 ORDINANCE RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM?
04:27:05 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO MOVED.
04:27:07 >> SECOND.
04:27:09 >>ABBYE FEELEY: MR. SHELBY, I'M SORRY.
04:27:11 IT WOULD BE THE MOTION THAT WE WOULD LIKE IS THAT IF WE
04:27:14 ARE TAKING THE FIRST READING TODAY, OF THE ORDINANCE,
04:27:17 THAT IS ON ITEM 9, THEN WHENEVER THAT IS SET FOR SECOND
04:27:22 READING, WE WOULD ASK THAT THE DEFINITION FOR THE HATE BE
04:27:25 BROUGHT BACK ON SECOND READING TO CORRESPOND WITH THAT.
04:27:29 SO DEPENDING ON WHAT DATE THAT WILL BE BASED ON YOUR
04:27:31 ACTION TODAY, I WOULD ASK THAT THOSE ITEMS ALIGN FOR
04:27:35 SECOND READING.
04:27:36 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN ASK THE CLERK WHAT IS THAT
04:27:38 DATE, WHEN ITEM NUMBER 9 WOULD COME BACK FOR SECOND
04:27:41 READING?
04:27:42 >> NUMBER 9 WOULD COME BACK FOR SECOND READING ON
04:27:44 FEBRUARY 4, 2021 AT 9:30 A.M.
04:27:48 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, MS.
04:27:49 FEELEY, OFF THIS MOTION FOR NUMBER 88 SET TO COME BACK IN
04:27:52 THE FORM OF A FIRST READING AS WELL FOR THIS
04:27:55 PARTICULAR --
04:27:57 >>ABBYE FEELEY: IT WOULD BE A SECOND READING FOR THE
04:27:59 DEFINITION OF HATE.
04:28:00 THE FIRST READING ALREADY TOOK PLACE ON SEPTEMBER
04:28:03 19th OF 2019.
04:28:04 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND HOW IS THIS RELATED TO NUMBER 9,
04:28:07 PLEASE?
04:28:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE NEED TO READ NUMBER IT RATE NOW.
04:28:12 >>> WHO WOULD LIKE TO READ ITEM NUMBER 9?
04:28:14 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.

04:30:11 THIS IS THE 2021 CALENDAR, FROM JANUARY 14 THROUGH APRIL

04:30:38 MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CALENDAR, SECOND BY CITRO.
04:30:42 ALL IN FAVOR?
04:30:43 ANY OPPOSED?
04:30:44 ALL RIGHT.
04:30:44 THE CALENDAR IS APPROVED.
04:30:46 WE HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS.
04:30:49 THE ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATE.
04:30:50 IT CAME ON IN THE ADDENDUM.
04:30:54 ANYTHING, MR. SHELBY?
04:30:55 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I BELIEVE -- I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S
04:30:58 AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME, BUT.
04:31:06 >> THE CHIEF OF STAFF, I KNOW HE HAD ANOTHER MEETING TO
04:31:10 GET TO.
04:31:10 IF THE CHIEF OF STAFF IS NOT ON THE LINE WE CAN POSTPONE
04:31:13 THIS UNTIL OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING.
04:31:19 I GOT A MESSAGE THAT HE HAD AN ANNUAL MEETING OR HE SAID
04:31:22 HE WASN'T ABLE TO.
04:31:23 >>MARTIN SHELBY: OKAY.
04:31:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT UP WE HAVE A MEMO FROM SUSAN
04:31:28 JOHNSON-VELEZ, SENIOR ASSISTANT ATTORNEY REGARDING
04:31:31 COUNCIL SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARINGS ON FEBRUARY 18th FOR
04:31:35 NOTICES OF INTENT TO SUSPEND THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC
04:31:38 BEVERAGES.
04:31:40 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO MOVED.
04:31:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND.
04:31:42 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN JUST ADDRESS VERY QUICKLY.
04:31:45 I DON'T NOTCH IF MS. JOHNSON-VELEZ IS ON THE LINE IF SHE
04:31:48 SIGNED IN.
04:31:48 BUT COUNCIL, AS YOU KNOW, THESE ARE SIMILAR TO SOMETHING
04:31:54 COUNCIL RECENTLY, AND YOU MAY HAVE READ AN ARTICLE IN THE
04:31:58 PRESS RELEASE FROM THE MAYOR, I JUST WANT TO BRING TO
04:32:00 COUNCIL'S ATTENTION, THESE ARE THREE HEARINGS TO BE SET
04:32:04 THE SAME DAY, THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ON AN ISSUE OF
04:32:11 COMPLAINS WITH THE CITY CODE.
04:32:13 I JUST WANT TO BRING TO THE YOUR ATTENTION THAT WHEN YOU
04:32:16 SET THIS, I REQUEST YOU SET IT FOR 1:30 IN THE AFTERNOON.
04:32:20 AND JUST A REMINDER AND A RECOMMENDATION FOR COUNCIL.
04:32:23 IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, ON THE 18th OF FEBRUARY, PLEASE
04:32:29 DO NOT SET STAFF REPORTS FOR THAT DATE TO LOAD UP THE
04:32:33 AFTERNOON WITH STAFF REPORTS, WHICH ARE NOW SCHEDULED TO
04:32:36 TAKE PLACE AT 1:30.
04:32:38 RATE NOW IT'S PRETTY OPEN.
04:32:40 AND I WOULD JUST ASK YOU TO CONSIDER ONLY SETTING THOSE
04:32:44 ITEMS FOR STAFF REPORTS ON THE 18th THAT ARE URGENT
04:32:47 AND TIME SENSITIVE, THAT MUST BE HEARD THAT DAY.
04:32:50 SO YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO GET TO THOSE HEARINGS AND GET OUT
04:32:53 OF HERE AT A REASONABLE TIME BECAUSE THEY MAY BE -- THEY
04:32:56 MAY BE SHORT, THEY MAY BE LENGTHY.
04:32:59 BUT IT WOULD CONFLICT WITH THAT REPORT.
04:33:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE HAVE THREE OF THEM, MR. SHELBY.
04:33:05 SO THAT COULD BE LONG.
04:33:05 SO SHOULDN'T THAT BE SET ON A SEPARATE DATE?
04:33:10 >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: THIS IS SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ WITH
04:33:13 THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
04:33:13 I KNOW WE HAD ONE OF THESE HEARINGS BACK IN DECEMBER AND
04:33:16 IT DID TAKE QUITE A LONG TIME BUT I DO NOT ANTICIPATE
04:33:18 THAT THESE WILL TAKE NEARLY AS LONG.
04:33:20 MAYBE ABOUT 30 MINUTES APIECE IS WHAT I AM ANTICIPATING
04:33:23 FOR EACH HEARING.
04:33:29 AND WE ARE JUST TRYING TO GET THEM SCHEDULED AS QUICKLY
04:33:32 AS POSSIBLE.
04:33:32 WE SENT THE NOTICES OUT ON JANUARY 13th -- I'M SORRY,
04:33:40 LAST WEEK, AND UNDERSTOOD THE CODE, WE CAN SET THEM NO
04:33:45 LESS THAN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE NOTICE.
04:33:47 AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE SEEKING THE FEBRUARY 18th DATE.
04:33:51 SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM HEARD AS QUICKLY AS
04:33:54 POSSIBLE.
04:33:55 >>MARTIN SHELBY: ONE WAY TO ADDRESS THE TIME THAT THESE
04:33:59 MAY TAKE, ADDING STAFF REPORTS ON -- THAT WAY WE CAN
04:34:05 AVOID THAT UNLESS IT'S SENSITIVE, URGENT, TIME SENSITIVE.
04:34:11 I'LL TRY TO REMIND COUNCIL BUT IF WE KEEP THAT IN MIND
04:34:14 THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
04:34:15 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
04:34:16 WHO MADE THE MOTION?
04:34:21 >> I DID.
04:34:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA WITH COUNCILMAN
04:34:24 CITRO, I BELIEVE.
04:34:24 ALL IN FAVOR?
04:34:25 ANY OPPOSED?
04:34:26 GREAT.
04:34:27 NEXT UP WE HAVE A MEMO FROM OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
04:34:30 DENNIS ROGERO, A RESOLUTION FOR $117,900,000 WITHIN THE
04:34:37 EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM GRANT FUND TO ASSIST
04:34:40 THE CITY OF TAMPA RESIDENTS AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19
04:34:43 PANDEMIC.
04:34:48 DO I HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE THE RESOLUTION?
04:34:50 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
04:34:51 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IS ANYBODY ON STAFF STILL ON BOARD IN
04:34:57 REGARD TO THIS ITEM?
04:34:58 >>DENNIS ROGERO: THIS IS DENNIS ROGERO.
04:35:06 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JOHN DINGFELDER HERE.
04:35:07 SO TELL ME ABOUT THE SOURCE OF THESE FUNDS, AND DO WE
04:35:12 EXPECT TO SPEND THEM THE WAY THAT WE HAVE BEEN -- IS THIS
04:35:17 FUTURISTIC OR IS THIS REIMBURSEMENT?
04:35:19 AND IF IT'S FUTURISTIC ARE WE GOING TO SPEND THEM THE
04:35:23 SAME WAY WE HAVE BEEN SPENDING THEM WITH PEOPLE
04:35:26 SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS AND THAT SORT OF THING?
04:35:28 >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, SIR.
04:35:31 IT IS FUTURISTIC.
04:35:32 THIS WAS A RESULT OF LEGISLATION SIGNED LATE LAST MONTH
04:35:36 BY THE WHITE HOUSE, AND IT'S ABOUT $12 MILLION FOR RENTAL
04:35:40 HOUSING AS YOU SEE RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND HOUSING RELATED
04:35:43 EXPENSES.
04:35:44 THE REASON WE WALKED THIS ON, THINGS ARE MOVING FAST.
04:35:48 THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT WAS GIVEN 30 DAYS TO GET $25
04:35:51 BILLION OUT THE DOOR.
04:35:53 THEY JUST GOT THEIR PORTAL UP LAST WEEK.
04:35:56 JUST TWO DAYS AGO THE CITY HAD TO AFFIRM THAT WE INTENDED
04:35:59 TO RECEIVE THE MONEY AND WILL PROBABLY GET THE FUNDING
04:36:03 WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
04:36:05 SO AS YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T SPEND IT IF WE DON'T APPROPRIATE
04:36:08 IT SO WE HAVE ASKED FOR A WALK-ON TO GET THIS FUNDING
04:36:11 APPROPRIATED AS FAST AS WE CAN SO WE CAN GET THE MONEY
04:36:14 OUT THE DOOR AS FAST AS WE CAN.
04:36:19 THIS IS TAILORED TO RENTAL HOUSING A ASSISTANCE
04:36:21 ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE HAVING TROUBLE RIGHT NOW WHO
04:36:24 MAY BE IN ARREARS UNDER THREAT OF EVICTION, FOR INSTANCE,
04:36:27 OR IN DISCUSSION WITH THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT, EVEN
04:36:30 PERHAPS THOSE THAT ARE IN GOOD SHAPE HOUSINGWISE, BUT
04:36:35 IMPACTING THEIR HEALTH AND MEDICAL BILLS IN ORDER TO STAY
04:36:38 OUT.
04:36:38 SO APPROVAL OF THIS RESOLUTION WILL RECOGNIZE THE FUNDING
04:36:41 SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.
04:36:43 BUT IT IS PROSPECTIVE, NOT RETROSPECTIVE.
04:36:46 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THIS IS NOT RENTAL, NOT
04:36:49 FORECLOSURE PREVENTION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
04:36:53 >>DENNIS ROGERO: I DON'T KNOW IF IT EXPANDS TO THAT.
04:36:55 IF SOMEONE IS ON THE LANE FROM PLANNING OR HOUSING
04:36:58 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, PERHAPS THEY CAN ANSWER THAT.
04:36:59 IF NOT, WE'LL CIRCLE BACK TO THAT.
04:37:03 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, I WILL BE GLAD TO MOVE
04:37:05 THAT.
04:37:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. ROGERO, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
04:37:09 ANSWER.
04:37:11 WE ARE GETTING THESE DOLLARS.
04:37:12 AND WE ARE GOING TO APPROVE.
04:37:14 BUT MY QUESTION IS, DO WE HAVE A BETTER SYSTEM IN PLACE
04:37:17 NOW TO GET THIS MONEY OUT, OR ARE WE GOING TO OUTSOURCE
04:37:23 FACILITY TO GET THIS MONEY OUT?
04:37:24 I KNOW HOUSING IS JAM-PACKED AND FULL, AND I HEAR ALL THE
04:37:29 TIME THAT WE ARE SENDING MONEY BACK, AND NOT GETTING
04:37:32 MONEY OUT ON TIME.
04:37:33 SO I AM JUST LOPING THAT WE HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR
04:37:36 THIS MONEY TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT OUT.
04:37:37 >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, SIR.
04:37:40 THIS IS DENNIS AGAIN F.I AM NOT MISTAKEN WE ARE GOING TO
04:37:43 USE A COMBINATION OF IN-HOUSE AND OUTSOURCING.
04:37:47 I WILL CONFIRM THAT FOR YOU, AGAIN TO EXPEDITE THE MONEY
04:37:50 GETTING OUT THE DOOR.
04:37:53 >>ORLANDO GUDES: AND WE ARE GOING TO GET IT TO THE
04:37:54 PEOPLE, NOT HAVE SO MANY ROADBLOCKS ON OUR END BUT MAKING
04:37:57 SURE WE GET IT OUT TO THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT.
04:38:00 THANK YOU, SIR.
04:38:01 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:38:02 DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE THIS RESOLUTION?
