09:01:34 SO AS WE PRAY TO ALMIGHTY GOD, WE ASK FOR WISDOM AND
09:01:38 KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING AS YOU RULED IN DAY AND

09:01:58 AND FATHER, I PRAY THAT YOU BLESS EACH OF THE FAMILY
09:02:00 MEMBERS AND THE LOVED ONES SO THEY CAN HAVE PEACE OF

09:02:12 THIS COUNCIL, OH GOD, GIVE THEIR RESPECT AS IF THEY ARE
09:02:14 STANDING BEFORE ALMIGHTY GOD.
09:02:19 FATHER, WE KNOW THAT THESE MEN, LORD GOD, THEY LOVE YOU
09:02:22 BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE THE KIND OF SALARY OF MANY OF
09:02:26 THE PEOPLE THAT STAND BEFORE THEM, AND THEY SERVE OUT
09:02:29 OF THE DEDICATION AND LORD AND WANT TO MAKE TAMPA A
09:02:32 GREAT CITY AND KEEP IT SAFE ALL OVER THIS NATION.

09:02:43 HEART.
09:02:48 A RIGHT SPIRIT, LORD GOD, AS THEY RULE THIS DAY.
09:02:54 FATHER, I PRAY THAT THE WORDS OF HENRY TORVEY SAID
09:02:58 WHOEVER THERE BE A CAUSE WORTHY OF THE SACRIFICE OF THE
09:03:02 HUMAN RACE, LET EVERYONE FEEL ASHAMED TO DIE UNTIL THEY
09:03:05 HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO MAKE TAMPA THE GREATEST CITY IN
09:03:07 THIS UNITED STATES.
09:03:10 AND FATHER, AND HE BE CAREFUL TO GIVE YOU THE PRAISE
09:03:14 AND THE GLORY IN THE NAME OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC,

09:06:40 >>MORRIS MASSEY: SOMEONE DOWNSTAIRS FOR PUBLIC
09:06:41 COMMENT.
09:06:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SORRY ABOUT THAT.
09:06:51 DO WE HAVE ANYBODY DOWNSTAIRS?
09:06:52 >> GOOD MORNING.
09:06:54 >>ORLANDO GUDES: GOOD MORNING.
09:06:59 >> CONNIE BURTON, CHAIRPERSON OF THE EAST TAMPA CRA.
09:07:05 AND THE REASON I WANT TO COME THIS MORNING IS BECAUSE
09:07:13 OF WHAT I SEE AS A CONTINUATION OF THE INABILITY OF THE
09:07:16 BOARD TO BE ABLE TO MOVE ON AGENDA ITEMS IN WHICH THEY
09:07:20 FEEL IS OF THE UPMOST IMPORTANCE.
09:07:25 AND IN HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY, WE
09:07:29 CONTINUE TO STRESS THE NEEDS FOR, OF COURSE, AFFORDABLE
09:07:34 HOUSING WITHIN THAT ESSENTIAL -- WITHIN THE GUIDELINES
09:07:37 OF -- FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS.
09:07:41 SO AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS BEING USED.
09:07:42 FUNDS GET GUTTED.
09:07:45 AND THEN THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEED THE RESOURCES AND
09:07:47 HELP DO NOT GET HELP.
09:07:49 SO I WANTED TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT WHEN I AM
09:07:52 TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, I AM TALKING ABOUT
09:07:58 PEOPLE WITHIN THAT JOB DESCRIPTION OF, SAY, MAYBE A
09:08:06 WALMART WORKER, A STORE CLERK, A CNA, AND OTHERS THAT
09:08:11 HAVE -- THAT WITH REAL SINCERITY WORK VERY HARD TO ONE
09:08:13 DAY GET THE AMERICAN DREAM.
09:08:17 ANOTHER THING THAT WE CONTINUE TO DIAL DOWN ON AT OUR
09:08:22 CRA MEETING IS THE FACT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO UTILIZE
09:08:27 THE RESOURCES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATED.
09:08:29 WE HEAR ABOUT THESE LINE ITEMS JUST LIKE THIS MORNING
09:08:33 HOW NUMBER 11 IS ON YOUR AGENDA IS BEING ADVANCED.
09:08:38 I HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH SOME OF YOU ALL SAYING THAT
09:08:41 HOUSING REHAB IS A MUST.
09:08:46 EITHER YOU WANT TO RETAIN THE CITIZENS OF THAT
09:08:53 COMMUNITY THERE OR EITHER THERE IS AN ATTEMPT BY
09:08:55 SLEIGHT OF HAND TO FORCE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR PROPERTIES
09:08:59 BECAUSE IT HAS DETERIORATED TO A POINT THEY CAN NOT GET
09:09:00 THE ASSISTANCE.
09:09:03 SO WHILE THIS MORNING WHAT IS BEING PRESENTED TO YOU
09:09:12 ALL IS TO MOVING $1 MILLION FROM THE DOOMED BARNES PARK
09:09:18 TO FAIR OAKS WHICH THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZED MADE HAPPEN,
09:09:21 THE STAFF DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY OF THE WHEEL TO
09:09:25 MOVE TOWARD A REAL PROGRAM WITHOUT PUTTING DEMAND ON
09:09:29 THE BOARD TO DEVELOP ITS OWN RFP TO MAKE THESE THINGS
09:09:30 HAPPEN.
09:09:35 IT BECOMES QUESTIONABLE THAT IF YOU ARE MOVING CAPITAL
09:09:40 IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ALONG WITH THE STAFF, HELP,
09:09:43 PARTICIPATION AND KNOWLEDGE, WHY HAVEN'T THIS SAME
09:09:50 STAFF BEEN ABLE TO MOVE HOUSING PROGRAMS, HOUSING REHAB
09:09:54 PROGRAM WITHOUT NOW IT BEING PUT BACK IN THE LAP OF THE
09:09:57 BOARD THAT WE HAVE TO GO OUT AND DEVELOP A RFP BECAUSE
09:09:59 THE STAFF IS INCAPABLE OF DOING THAT.
09:10:01 IT BECOMES ALL QUESTIONABLE TO THE COMMUNITY.
09:10:03 THANK YOU.
09:10:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MISS BURTON.
09:10:22 ANYONE ELSE?
09:10:25 >> NO MORE SPEAKERS AT THIS TIME.
09:10:28 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NO MORE SPEAKERS?
09:10:31 ANYONE REGISTERED TO SPEAK, MADAM.
09:10:35 >>CLERK: NO ONE REGISTERED TO SPEAK.
09:10:39 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ITEM 1, MISS VAN LOAN.
09:10:42 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS JOHN
09:11:01 LAROCCA, THE CAC CHAIR FROM THE DOWNTOWN CRA.
09:11:03 >>JOHN LAROCCA: GOOD MORNING.
09:11:04 >>ORLANDO GUDES: GOOD MORNING.
09:11:14 >>JOHN LAROCCA: I AM JOHN LAROCCA, DOWNTOWN CAC
09:11:15 CHAIRMAN.
09:11:19 I WAS LAST HERE 11 MONTHS AGO, AND I APPRECIATE THIS
09:11:21 NEW SET-UP.
09:11:22 FIRST TIME I HAVE DONE THIS.
09:11:25 I'M HERE TO REPORT ON A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT ARE
09:11:28 IMPORTANT TO THE DOWNTOWN CRA.
09:11:33 SINCE OUR LAST PRESENTATION IN GENERAL TO YOU FROM THE
09:11:36 COMMITTEE'S -- THE COMMITTEE'S PERSPECTIVE IS THAT WE
09:11:39 HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO AND SUPPORTED THE PURCHASE OF THE
09:11:44 ARMY-NAVY STORE, INTENDED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO BE
09:11:47 DEVELOPED.
09:11:50 WE HOPE AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
09:11:53 WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT CULTURAL ASSETS FOR COVID-19
09:11:56 RETROFIT GRANTS.
09:12:00 $1.8 MILLION HAVE BEEN AWARDED TO MAJOR PUBLIC ASSETS
09:12:02 DOWNTOWN.
09:12:06 WE PARTICIPATED AND HELD A PUBLIC WORKSHOP THROUGH THE
09:12:09 CONSULTANTS WORKING ON ASHLEY DRIVE PROJECT
09:12:12 IMPROVEMENTS.
09:12:18 WE HAD FULL DISCUSSION WITH PUBLIC -- INVITED AND MANY
09:12:21 GOOD IDEAS WITH THE CONCERN OF PROTECTING PEDESTRIAN
09:12:27 ACCESS AND TO IMPROVE SAFETY IN THE GRID NETWORK WITHIN
09:12:27 DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
09:12:31 WE HAVE DISCUSSED AND SUPPORTED NEW GRANT PROGRAMS,
09:12:34 CURRENT FACADE PROGRAMS FOR DOWNTOWN, REVITALIZATION OF
09:12:38 VACANT CURRENT BUILDINGS.
09:12:40 OBVIOUSLY THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT,
09:12:43 BUT PEOPLE AS ONE CAN SEE WALKING AROUND DOWNTOWN,
09:12:45 THERE IS STILL A LOT OF ACTIVITY AND A LOT OF INTEREST
09:12:49 IN DOWNTOWN, CERTAINLY FROM THE TOURIST SECTOR WHICH I
09:12:52 FIND QUITE SURPRISING, BUT WE ARE VERY CONCERNED MAKING
09:12:57 SURE THAT THE HISTORICAL CORE OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA IS
09:13:01 MAINTAINED AND PRESENTS ITSELF WELL.
09:13:03 AND WE THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
09:13:07 OPPORTUNITIES BELIEVE WE CAN SUPPORT THAT ONGOING.
09:13:12 WE HAVE DONE HAVE A SHELL REHABILITATION, RESTAURANT
09:13:15 FOOD SERVICE GRANTS, BUSINESS ENHANCEMENTS,
09:13:17 MICROGRANTS, ALL PART OF THE DISCUSSION TO ASSIST
09:13:20 DURING THIS TIME.
09:13:25 WE HAVE REVIEWED AND SUPPORTED THE STRAZ'S -- THE
09:13:29 PERFORMING ART CENTER'S MASTER PLAN EXPANSION AND
09:13:32 POTENTIAL BUDGET IMPACT THAT THE CRA WOULD BE
09:13:34 CONSIDERED TO LOOK AT.
09:13:36 WE THINK THAT IS A GEM FOR THE COMMUNITY, FOR THE
09:13:39 ENTIRE CITY, CERTAINLY BEING LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL
09:13:43 BUSINESS DISTRICT AND OUR CRA, WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY
09:13:45 SUPPORT THAT VENUE.
09:13:48 AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO AS INFORMATION IS PRESENTED
09:13:49 TO US.
09:13:55 WE SUPPORT AND HAVE CONTINUED TO OFFER INPUT ON THE KID
09:13:58 MASON RECREATION CENTER AND WE GET UPDATES ON ITS
09:14:00 PROGRESS.
09:14:03 ANOTHER MORE -- ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT
09:14:08 HAS COME UP RECENTLY IS A DOWNTOWN PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN,
09:14:11 THAT THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE FEELS VERY STRONGLY ABOUT.
09:14:14 WE ARE SUPPORTING A PILOT PROGRAM THAT WOULD ENCOURAGE
09:14:20 ADDITIONAL POLICING CERTAIN HOURS ON BICYCLES AND IN
09:14:26 MODIFIED ABILITIES TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE
09:14:28 BEYOND NORMAL POLICE PROTECTION.
09:14:32 WE ARE ONGOING AND REGULARLY STUDYING MONTHLY
09:14:35 FINANCIALS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE PROJECTS ON A
09:14:39 CONTINUING BASIS AS WE ANALYZE THOSE BUDGET NUMBERS.
09:14:42 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS
09:14:46 BEGINNING THE DISCUSSION ON THE NEED FOR UPDATING THE
09:14:49 STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN.
09:14:52 IT HASN'T BEEN UPDATED FOR MANY YEARS.
09:14:54 OBVIOUSLY DOWNTOWN HAS CHANGED TREMENDOUSLY.
09:15:00 I HAVE BEEN ACTIVE AS AN URBAN PLANNER AND WORKER IN
09:15:04 THE DOWNTOWN AREA FOR MOST OF MY CAREER.
09:15:07 WE BELIEVE IT IS TIME WITH WATER STREET TAMPA
09:15:09 DEVELOPING THE WAY IT IS, WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE RIVER
09:15:12 WALK, THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT OUR OVERALL ACTION PLAN
09:15:16 AND THE INITIATIVES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED.
09:15:18 I THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT.
09:15:23 LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUED CONVERSATION AT CAC MEETINGS
09:15:25 ON ISSUES IMPORTANT TO DOWNTOWN.
09:15:28 WE MEET ON THE FIRST TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH.
09:15:30 OUR TIMES HAVE FLUCTUATED BETWEEN 5:30 AND 6:00
09:15:34 RECENTLY, AND WE OBVIOUSLY WILL POST THEM ACCORDINGLY.
09:15:39 WE MEET AT THE TAMPA MUNICIPAL OFFICE BUILDING WHOEVER
09:15:41 WISHES TO JOIN US AND PARTICIPATE IN THE CONVERSATION
09:15:44 BOTH VIRTUALLY AND IN PERSON AND WE WILL BE SURE TO
09:15:45 GIVE ANYONE THE INFORMATION.
09:15:47 I WILL LEAVE IT THERE.
09:15:49 IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I WILL LEAVE THEM.
09:15:53 I WILL ANSWER WHAT I CAN BUT LEAVE IT TO THE STAFF
09:15:55 PRESENTATION SUBSEQUENT TO MY PRESENTATION FOR ANY MORE
09:15:56 DETAILS.

09:16:18 I WANT TO MAKE A QUICK PRESENTATION -- I AM SORRY.

09:16:51 I APOLOGIZE FOR POPPING UP AGAIN, BUT IF I MAY GO
09:16:52 THROUGH THIS PROJECT LIST.
09:16:59 I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ALL I DO IS HIT THE RIGHT BUTTON.
09:17:05 CAN SOMEONE HELP ME HERE.
09:17:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: STAFF -- WE HAVE IT ON THE SCREEN.

09:17:22 >>JOHN LAROCCA: OKAY.

09:22:47 QUORUM AND A FEW INDIVIDUALS IN ADDITION.
09:22:47 THAT IS GREAT.
09:22:51 I AM STARTING TO BECOME VERY IMPRESSED BY THE CAC IN
09:22:52 WEST TAMPA.
09:22:56 THE REASON I AM SAYING THAT IS STARTING TO LEARN THE
09:22:58 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN IN THE AREA, STRATEGIC
09:23:03 ACTION PLAN AND STARTING TO DIG INTO CHAPTER 163 OF THE
09:23:04 FLORIDA STATUTE PART 3.
09:23:07 A VERY EDUCATED GROUP AND MAKES MY JOB A LOT EASIER TO
09:23:10 STAY IN LINE WITH WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
09:23:13 WE ARE ALSO VERY PROUD THAT WE HAVE A NEW ART
09:23:14 SUBCOMMITTEE.
09:23:18 WE ONLY HAD ONE MEETING, AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO
09:23:21 SEE WHAT KIND OF PRODUCTIVE PROJECTS THEY COME UP WITH.
09:23:24 AS FAR AS INDIRECT ACTIVITIES, THE MAIN STREET CORRIDOR
09:23:27 STUDY THAT IS PROGRESSING FORWARD SMOOTHLY WITH MR.
09:23:32 FRANK HALL AND RANDY GOERS AS THE PROJECT MANAGERS FOR
09:23:32 THAT.
09:23:35 LAST WEEK, WE DID A WALKING TOUR OF MAIN STREET AGAIN
09:23:38 TO LOOK AT THE ALLEYWAYS, THE BACK OF THE BUILDINGS,
09:23:41 SIDE AREAS, AND TALK TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.
09:23:46 SO HOPEFULLY IN MAY, THEY HAVE A DRAFT REPORT READY TO
09:23:49 PRESENT.
09:23:52 OTHER INDIRECT ACTIVITIES, TECO STILL CONTINUES THEIR
09:23:55 PROJECT TO EXTEND POWER OVER TO THE WEST RIVER
09:23:55 DEVELOPMENT.
09:23:59 THIS IS ALL BEING FUNDED BY THE DEVELOPER OF THE WEST
09:24:00 RIVER PROJECTS.
09:24:04 CONSTRUCTION STILL CONTINUES FOR THE THREE SEVEN-STORY
09:24:06 APARTMENT BUILDING OVER AT WEST RIVER.
09:24:08 YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURE THERE.
09:24:10 THEY ARE GOING UP VERY QUICKLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU
09:24:14 DRIVE DOWN 275, YOU CAN SEE THEM.
09:24:15 OTHER PROJECTS.
09:24:21 THE FOUNDRY NOHO IS A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT.
09:24:25 198 UNITS AND HAS A PRECAST CONCRETE PARKING GARAGE
09:24:27 THAT IS POPPING UP QUICKLY AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE
09:24:29 RENDERING.
09:24:30 FROM THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION.
09:24:33 IT'S MOVING QUICKLY.
09:24:36 IT IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE -- TO THE JC -- THE JEWISH

09:24:49 OTHER PROJECTS WE HAVE THE NOHO SQUARE, 246-UNIT
09:24:53 APARTMENT COMPLEX OVER BY ROME AND WEST GRAY STREET.
09:24:55 THAT IS ALSO PROGRESSING SMOOTHLY.
09:24:59 THEY DO HAVE ROME AVENUE BLOCKED OFF THERE FOR A FEW
09:25:03 MONTH NOW, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DETERRING THE
09:25:07 COMMUNITY FROM MOVING AROUND THE AREA PRETTY SMOOTHLY.
09:25:11 TENANTS CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE MARY BETHUNE
09:25:12 APARTMENT COMPLEX.
09:25:17 AND ALSO THE TAMPA VETERINARY ON HOWARD IS MOVING
09:25:22 FORWARD TOO AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE BY, CONSTRUCTION IS

09:28:48 DISTRICT TAMPA HEIGHTS RIVERFRONT AND CENTRAL PARK.
09:28:50 IF WE CAN GO TO THE PRESENTATION.
09:28:50 THANK YOU.
09:28:54 IN DOWNTOWN, I WON'T REPEAT A LOT OF WHAT MY CAC CHAIR
09:28:58 MR. LAROCCA PRESENTED, BUT I WILL GIVE A FEW ADDITIONAL
09:28:59 UPDATES.
09:29:04 AS HE MENTIONED, OUR CAC HAS HEARD A PRESENTATION ON A
09:29:09 PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN AND IT WILL BE PRESENTED AS A PILOT.
09:29:11 WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD
09:29:14 ASSOCIATION, WITH DRANA AS WELL AS THE TAMPA POLICE
09:29:19 DEPARTMENT, CAPTAIN OWEN WITH DISTRICT 3, HE IS OUR
09:29:20 TEAM LEAD.
09:29:23 AND I CAN TELL YOU WE HAVE A GEM THERE BECAUSE HE HAS
09:29:26 BROUGHT CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO THE ISSUES WE ARE HAVING
09:29:28 IN DOWNTOWN AS WELL AS OUR SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.
09:29:33 THE PILOT PROGRAM WILL BE INITIATED FOR 90 DAYS TO
09:29:36 ADDRESS SOME OF THE NEGATIVE STREET BEHAVIORS THAT ARE
09:29:37 HAPPENING IN DOWNTOWN.
09:29:41 THESE ARE ITEMS ASSOCIATED WITH LOUD MUSIC, ENGINE AND
09:29:44 EXHAUST NOISE, STREET RACING AND EVEN BICYCLE
09:29:47 OPERATIONS THAT TEND TO BE AGGRESSIVE TOWARD OUR
09:29:51 PEDESTRIANS AND EVEN PARKING LOT PARTIES AND THE LATE
09:29:55 TO EARLY MORNING HOURS, SOME ILLICIT ACTIVITIES IN OUR
09:29:56 PARK AREAS.
09:29:59 WE HAVE DISCUSSED AN OPERATION THAT WOULD ALLOW THE
09:30:02 POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BRING SOME ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC
09:30:06 UNITS AND BIKE UNITS UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 40 HOURS PER
09:30:09 MONTH, AS WELL AS ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL BIKE EQUIPMENT
09:30:13 TO THE PATROL OFFICERS THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO DOWNTOWN.
09:30:16 THIS IS A PRETTY EFFECTIVE WAY TO COMMUNICATE AND DETER
09:30:19 THE NEGATIVE STREET BEHAVIORS THAT ARE HAPPENING AND
09:30:24 ALSO INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR VISITORS AND
09:30:25 RESIDENTS DOWNTOWN.
09:30:29 THIS IS A PILOT PROGRAM AND WILL BE A MINIMAL EXPENSE
09:30:32 TO OUR CAC, AND WE ALREADY HAVE COMMUNITY POLICING
09:30:34 FUNDS SET ASIDE FOR THIS TYPE OF THING.
09:30:37 WE ARE EXCITED TO ROLL THIS OUT.
09:30:40 THIS WILL BE FLEXIBLE FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO
09:30:43 MANAGE WITH THE STAFF THEY HAVE AND SEE HOW IT WORKS IN
09:30:47 90 DAYS, AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT BACK TO
09:30:48 THE BOARD AS WELL.
09:30:50 INDIRECT ACTIVITIES.
09:30:54 MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN THE FENCING AROUND THE SMALL
09:30:58 SPACE IN LIKES GASLIGHT SQUARE PARK.

09:31:33 THEY ARE PARTNERING WITH METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES TO BE
09:31:37 STAFFING THIS AND PROVIDING ONCE-A-MONTH HOMELESS
09:31:38 SERVICES TO THE AREA.
09:31:42 RELEASING SURVEYS TO GET FEEDBACK ON THE USE OF THE
09:31:42 SPACE.
09:31:45 I THINK IT IS VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND THE PARTNERSHIP
09:31:49 HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO SET UP THIS SMALL SECTION AS A
09:31:53 PILOT AND TO GO AND EXPERIENCE IT AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK.
09:31:55 A DIFFERENT WAY TO USE THE PARK SPACES WE HAVE
09:31:56 DOWNTOWN.
09:31:59 ANOTHER INDIRECT ACTIVITY, WE HAVE A GREAT PARTNERSHIP
09:32:02 WITH THE FRIENDS OF THE RIVERWALK.
09:32:04 UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO COVID-19 AND SO MANY OTHER
09:32:07 ACTIVITIES, THE RIVERFEST HAS BEEN CANCELLED; HOWEVER,

09:33:09 INSTALLATIONS THAT THE CAC SUPPORTED, UNDER THE
09:33:12 HIGHLAND BRIDGE AND THE LIGHTS UNDER THE CHANNELSIDE
09:33:12 TUNNEL.
09:33:16 IN YEARS PAST, THE PROGRAM WOULD CREATE LARGE FAMILY
09:33:18 FRIENDLY EVENTS.

09:34:16 IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GO TO
09:34:20 LIGHTSONTAMPA.ORG/MAP.

09:34:31 OF COURSE YOU HEARD FROM MY CHAIR, THE HERON AT WATER
09:34:32 STREET WAS OPEN.
09:34:36 THE EAST TOWER IS WELCOMING ITS FIRST RESIDENTS.
09:34:38 IT IS A MAGNIFICENT BUILDING.
09:34:41 WE WERE ABLE TO TOUR IT RIGHT BEFORE IT GOT ITS FINAL
09:34:44 CO AND A BEAUTIFUL ADDITION TO DOWNTOWN.
09:34:46 THE QUALITY OF LIFE IS TRULY SIGNIFICANT THERE.
09:34:49 TO ADD TO THAT, THE FRIENDS OF THE RIVERWALK, OF
09:34:54 COURSE, HAVE BEEN A WONDERFUL ADDITION IN UNDERSTANDING
09:34:57 AND RECOGNIZING OUR HISTORICAL FIGURES IN THE CITY AND
09:35:01 YOU CAN SEE THE ITEMS HERE IDENTIFIED IN BLUE.
09:35:05 THOSE BRONZE STATUES WERE TEMPORARILY RELOCATED AND NOW
09:35:10 THEY ARE PUT BACK IN THEIR PERMANENT PLACE NEXT TO THE
09:35:13 HERON TOWERS SO YOU CAN SEE THEM TO THE EAST SIDE OF
09:35:14 THE BUILDING.
09:35:17 THEY HAVE BEEN RELOCATED AND PUT IN THEIR PERMANENT
09:35:18 PLACE.
09:35:21 AND SO WE ARE EXCITED TO SEE THEM BACK INTO THEIR
09:35:24 PERMANENT HOME CONNECTING THE RIVER WALK.

09:42:37 YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE.
09:42:41 >> THE PUBLIC OPINION SURVEYS WERE CONTINUED --
09:42:43 >> WE NEED TO TEST IT.
09:42:45 >> SORRY, I KEEP --
09:42:49 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SOMEBODY MUTE THEIR MIC PLEASE.
09:42:54 MISS THROWER, TRY ONE MORE TIME.
09:42:55 >> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
09:42:56 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
09:42:59 >> EXTENDED THROUGH MARCH 31 AND WE DECIDED TO CONTINUE
09:43:02 THROUGH APRIL 5 FOR ANYONE WHO WANTED TO PARTICIPATE
09:43:02 ONLINE.
09:43:07 AND WHAT WE WERE SEEING ABOUT -- WHEN I -- WHEN I DID
09:43:10 THIS REPORT, WE HAD ABOUT MAINLY RESIDENTIAL FOLKS THAT
09:43:14 WERE RESPONDING TO THEM WITH 21% BUSINESS AND 20%
09:43:15 YOUTH.
09:43:19 THOSE NUMBERS MAY SHIFT A LITTLE BIT AS WE TOOK IN MORE
09:43:20 SURVEYS OVER THE WEEKEND.
09:43:22 MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS.
09:43:24 WE CONTINUE TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY.
09:43:30 WE HAVE A VERY ACTIVE WEB SITE, THE WEAREEASTTAMPA.COM.
09:43:31 I WANT TO SHARE STATISTICS WITH YOU.
09:43:36 WE HAVE INCREASED ACTIVITY ON THIS WITH 1400 UNIQUE
09:43:37 VISITORS.
09:43:40 2400 TOTAL SITE SESSION VISITORS.
09:43:44 AND THE NEW E-MAIL PLATFORM WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CREATE
09:43:47 HAS NEARLY 1200 CONTACTS ON IT TO DATE.
09:43:49 THAT IS MORE THAN DOUBLE SINCE JANUARY.
09:43:53 AND SO THE AVERAGE OPEN RATE FOR THE E-MAIL BLAST WE
09:43:56 HAVE BEEN SENDING OUT IS 24%.
09:43:59 THE CONSULTANT WILL BE GIVING A COMMUNITY INPUT UPDATE
09:44:03 AT NEXT TUESDAY'S PARTNERSHIP MEETING.
09:44:06 SO A LOT OF THESE STATISTICS WILL BE SHARED WITH THE
09:44:08 COMMUNITY AT THAT TIME.
09:44:11 THE NEXT STEP, OF COURSE, AT THIS POINT FOR THE
09:44:14 CONSULTANT IS REALLY WORK WITH THE AGENCIES, THE
09:44:17 DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND GET INFORMATION GATHERED FROM
09:44:20 ALL THE PROJECTS AND THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY PLANNED
09:44:22 FOR EAST TAMPA.
09:44:25 NEXT, I WILL JUST SHOW YOU A SNAPSHOT OF THIS.
09:44:28 AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE E-MAIL BLASTS WE SENT OUT
09:44:32 THROUGH THE NEW PLATFORM WE HAVE BEEN USING.
09:44:33 NEXT IS THE COMMITTEES.
09:44:35 THE COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN VERY ACTIVE.
09:44:39 AND, AGAIN, IT APPEARS WE HAVE A ROBUST MEETING
09:44:42 CALENDAR THAT WE HAVE BEEN REALLY PROMOTING AND GETTING
09:44:45 OUT TO NOT ONLY THE CAC PARTNERSHIP BUT NEIGHBORHOOD
09:44:46 LEADERS.
09:44:47 SO MORE PARTICIPATION.
09:44:51 HERE IS JUST A FLAVOR OF SOME OF THE SUBJECTS THAT ARE
09:44:53 BEING DISCUSSED AT THE COMMITTEE LEVEL.
09:44:56 AND SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON.
09:44:59 ALSO, AT THE PARTNERSHIP MEETING, ON THE AGENDA, THE
09:45:00 COMMITTEES ARE LISTED.
09:45:04 SO ALL OF THEM GIVE A REPORT AT THE PARTNERSHIP MEETING
09:45:07 AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT.
09:45:10 MOVING RIGHT ALONG, I WILL JUST TALK OF SOME OF THE
09:45:14 ACTIVITIES OF SOME OF THE MORE ACTIVE COMMITTEE, THE
09:45:18 AESTHETICS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE IS WORKING ON
09:45:19 SEVERAL PROJECTS INCLUDING LOOKING AT DOING AN ART
09:45:22 MURAL ON THE BUILDING AT 22ND AND LAKE.
09:45:25 THEY ARE LOOKING AT EVEN SOME THEMED ART THAT THEY
09:45:33 WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN THE KINTE ART ON 22ND STREET
09:45:34 GATEWAY.
09:45:37 THEY HAVE TALKED OF DECORATIVE PLANTERS WHERE WE CAN
09:45:41 STRATEGICALLY PUT THOSE INCLUDED IN THE SAP.
09:45:44 INFORMATION SHARED WITH THE CONSULTANT SO MORE
09:45:45 INFORMATION ON THAT.
09:45:48 THEY ARE ALSO WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS AND
09:45:51 THE CITY'S PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE TO -- ON THE
09:45:52 ROUNDABOUT.
09:45:55 THE 34TH STREET ROUNDABOUT IS STILL A PROJECT THAT IS
09:45:57 ON OUR AGENDA TO DO.
09:45:58 ON OUR BUDGET TO DO.
09:46:02 THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE MR. CARROLL RANSOM WILL BE
09:46:06 SERVING ON THE COMMITTEE AND THAT DATE HAS BEEN
09:46:08 SELECTED THIS MONTH AND WE WILL BE HAVING THAT MEETING
09:46:09 COMING UP.
09:46:13 AND, OF COURSE, THEY ARE EXPLORING WAYS TO TELL EAST
09:46:14 TAMPA'S STORY.
09:46:19 LOOK AT HISTORIC LANDMARKS.
09:46:23 PLACARDS ANOTHER THING THEY WANT TO EMBARK ON.
09:46:25 ANOTHER ACTIVE COMMITTEE.
09:46:28 A LOT OF THINGS FALL INTO THIS.
09:46:31 THE BUILDING ON 27TH AND LAKE.
09:46:34 REPROGRAMMING THAT FOR A COMMUNITY PURPOSE.
09:46:36 IT WILL REQUIRE RENOVATION.
09:46:38 SO WE ALREADY WORKED -- MET WITH THE BUILDING
09:46:41 DEPARTMENT AND A COUPLE OF THE FOLKS OF GETTING AN
09:46:43 ESTIMATE OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO THAT BUILDING TO
09:46:46 REALLY GET IT ACTIVATED.
09:46:49 IN ADDITION, OUR REAL ESTATE DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN GIVEN
09:46:55 A GREEN LIGHT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ACQUIRING ADJACENT
09:46:57 PROPERTIES ON THAT LOT ESPECIALLY ONE SOUTH OF IT.
09:47:00 AND THEY ARE WORKING TO NEGOTIATE LAND SALES.
09:47:02 AND A NEW PROGRAM THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED.
09:47:06 IT IS ON YOUR AGENDA TODAY THE YOUTH LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
09:47:08 THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD.
09:47:12 WE WORKED WITH THE CAC AND OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT HAS
09:47:12 LOOKED AT IT.
09:47:17 AND WE ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN APPROVAL TODAY
09:47:21 TO WRITE AN RFP TO GET THAT PROGRAM OFF THE GROUND AND
09:47:22 THERE WILL BE MORE THAT WILL BE SHARED ON THAT.
09:47:26 AND, OF COURSE, THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ECONOMIC
09:47:29 OPPORTUNITY FOR BUSINESS AND WORKERS WITH UPCOMING
09:47:33 PROJECTS, ANY WAY TO CONNECT FOLKS TO THE LOCAL WORK
09:47:36 FORCES ARE DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GOALS.
09:47:37 MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
09:47:38 HOUSING COMMITTEE.
09:47:40 HOUSING HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE.
09:47:44 WHEN I SAY "ACTIVE," WE ARE ATTENDING THESE MEETINGS
09:47:46 AND SEEING HOW THE PARTICIPATION OF THE MEETINGS ARE
09:47:47 GROWING.
09:47:50 SO THE LAST HOUSING COMMITTEE WAS REALLY WELL ATTENDED
09:47:55 AND WITH SOME REALLY GREAT FOLKS AROUND THE TABLE.
09:47:59 DENISE PATE IS THE HOUSING CHAIR FOR THAT COMMITTEE AND
09:48:02 THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING ASSISTANCE
09:48:06 PROGRAMS BUT RIGHT NOW THEY FOCUSED ON GETTING TWO
09:48:09 PROGRAMS UP AND RUNNING AND ACTUALLY IMPROVED WHICH IS
09:48:12 -- THEY ARE MOVING THE DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
09:48:15 WHICH THEY APPROVED THE SLIDING SCALE WHICH IS NOW
09:48:19 IMPLEMENTED AND JUST RECENTLY THEY STREAMLINED THE
09:48:22 HOUSING COUNSELING SERVICE THAT WAS PART OF THAT
09:48:25 ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND THAT IS MOVING FORWARD.
09:48:28 THEY SORT OF CHECKED THAT BOX AND NOW MOVING TO THE
09:48:31 OWNER-OCCUPIED REHAB GRANT PROGRAM.
09:48:37 RIGHT NOW THE RFP, WE ARE WORKING TO GET SOME RFPS
09:48:39 SHARED WITH US FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES AND THAT WILL BE
09:48:43 OUR NEXT TASK WITH THE COMMITTEE TO WORK OUT A RFP FOR
09:48:44 THAT PROGRAM.
09:48:45 ANOTHER THING THEY TALKED ABOUT WAS KIND OF CREATING
09:48:50 THE ANGIE'S LIST, SO TO SPEAK, WHERE YOU CAN CREATE A
09:48:54 DIRECTORY, WHERE RESIDENTS CAN CONNECT WITH LOCAL
09:48:57 MINORITY-OWNED BUSINESSES FOR ANY KIND OF IMPROVEMENTS
09:49:01 THEY NEED TO DO TO THEIR HOMES.
09:49:05 AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE THE LAND USE COMMITTEE.
09:49:06 THEY ARE GETTING ACTIVE AS WELL.
09:49:09 UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF YVETTE LEWIS.
09:49:13 ONE OF THEIR TASKS TO LOOK AT CRA-OWNED PROPERTIES ARE.
09:49:16 TO EXPLORE THE FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT NUTRIENT EAST
09:49:16 TAMPA.
09:49:19 AND LOOKING AT THE TREE TRIMMING PROGRAM THAT IS
09:49:21 FALLING UNDER THEM TO GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
09:49:24 IMPROVING THE PROGRAM'S EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS
09:49:28 AND NEARING A YEAR OF THAT PROGRAM BEING LAUNCHED AND
09:49:31 THEY ARE ALSO LOOKING AT ALSO PROMOTING MINORITY OWNED
09:49:34 LICENSE CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS IN THE EAST
09:49:38 TAMPA CRA AREA.
09:49:41 MOVING RIGHT ALONG, THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES UNIT.
09:49:44 NOW GAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A REPORT LAST MONTH.
09:49:48 AND I SHARED WITH YOU ALL THAT THEY WILL BE WORK AGO ON
09:49:50 THIS NEW ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN.
09:49:53 I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN
09:49:54 LAUNCHED.
09:49:57 IF YOU DRIVE AROUND EAST TAMPA, YOU WILL SEE THESE
09:50:01 MESSAGES OF PROMOTING TO KEEP EAST TAMPA BEAUTIFUL AND
09:50:03 STOP ILLEGAL DUMPING.
09:50:05 IT IS ON THE BUS SIGN.
09:50:08 I DIDN'T HAVE PICTURE TO SHARE WITH YOU -- OF AN ACTUAL
09:50:11 BUS STOP, BUT A VERY POSITIVE MESSAGE.
09:50:13 A POSITIVE GOAL AND POSITIVE CALL TO ACTION AND THIS
09:50:18 WAS REALLY SOMETHING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL DETECTIVE WORKED
09:50:20 ON WITH HART TO GET THAT IMPLEMENTED.
09:50:22 ANOTHER THING WE HAVE DONE IS OUR LOBBY IN THE EAST
09:50:27 TAMPA CRA OFFICE, WE ARE REALLY STARTED TO GROW OUTSIDE
09:50:30 OF OUR DOOR THERE AND PROVIDED A SPACE WHERE WE CAN
09:50:35 OFFER UP FOR THE COMMUNITY TO PUT INFORMATION, PACKETS,
09:50:38 ANYTHING THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH THE COMMUNITY.
09:50:40 OUR MEETING CALENDARS ARE THERE.
09:50:43 WE USED IT AS A LOCATION WHERE YOU CAN DROP OFF SURVEYS
09:50:44 RECENTLY.
09:50:46 AND IT WORKED VERY, VERY WELL AS WELL.
09:50:49 YOU WORKED WITH THE HESS COMMITTEE.
09:50:52 THE HEALTH AND EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SERVICES COMMITTEE.
09:50:56 AND A PICTURE OF THE KIOSK AND THEY WILL LOOK INTO
09:51:00 REALLY UPDATING THAT KIOSK WITH INFORMATION ON ANY OF
09:51:03 THE PROGRAM THEY ARE INVOLVED WITH AND CAN SHARE WITH
09:51:04 THE COMMUNITY.
09:51:07 IN ADDITION TO THAT, OUR CONFERENCE ROOM HAS BEEN VERY
09:51:10 ACTIVE AS WELL WITH NOT ONLY COMMUNITY MEETINGS BUT
09:51:13 COMMUNITY FOLKS WANTING TO MEET IN THERE.
09:51:16 AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, TWO NOTABLE EVENTS IN EAST
09:51:17 TAMPA LAST MONTH.
09:51:19 SOME OF YOU ATTENDED THEM.
09:51:23 WE HAVE THE AMERICAN SURGICAL MASK COMPANY.
09:51:26 THE BUSINESS START-UP HAD A RIBBON CUTTING.
09:51:28 AND ALSO THERE WAS THE REBUILDING TOGETHER TAMPA BAY
09:51:32 COMMUNITY FAIR THAT TOOK PLACE.
09:51:34 SO ALL VERY POSITIVE EVENTS.
09:51:36 AND THIS CONCLUDES MY REPORT.
09:51:39 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN?
09:51:43 MISS THROWER, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS I WANT TO ASK.
09:51:45 >>BRENDA THROWER: YES.
09:51:48 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MISS VAN LOAN MAY WANT TO COME UP TO
09:51:50 ASSIST WITH YOU SOME QUESTIONS.
09:51:53 GENTLEMEN, I DID LISTEN TO THE EAST TAMPA MEETING ON
09:51:54 TUESDAY.
09:51:57 A VERY LONG MEETING.
09:52:00 I GOT SEVERAL E-MAILS ABOUT THAT MEETING AS WELL.
09:52:03 I SENT YOU A COPY OF ONE OF THE E-MAILS.
09:52:06 I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE REHAB PROGRAM AND DEALING WITH
09:52:07 HOUSING.
09:52:10 I HEARD ABOUT CHANGING THE CONCEPT OF THE HOUSING
09:52:14 PROGRAM TO AT THAT TALK ABOUT STREAMLINING, BUT I WANT
09:52:16 TO CAUTION THAT YOU A LOT OF THE PROGRAMS, THE DARE,
09:52:21 SOLITA'S HOUSE AND ALL THESE PLACES, THEY HAVE A HARD
09:52:23 TIME RETURNING CALLS AND THEY HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING
09:52:25 PEOPLE IN THE PROGRAM.
09:52:28 THAT IS WHY THAT EAST TAMPA PROGRAM WAS -- WAS
09:52:32 IMPLEMENTED TO HELP STREAMLINE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES.
09:52:35 TWO, IS THAT A LOT OF THE ISSUES -- AND I LOOK AT THE
09:52:39 NUMBERS -- THAT WE ARE PUTTING PEOPLE IN PROGRAMS AND
09:52:43 SENDING THEM TO HOUSING COUNSELING, BUT YET PEOPLE COME
09:52:46 AWAY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ALL THE
09:52:48 PARAMETERS OF GETTING A HOUSE.
09:52:50 YOU TALK ABOUT GETTING A HOUSE.
09:52:53 YOU TALK ABOUT SOMEBODY GETTING FINANCING.
09:52:55 THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT COME WITH THE HOUSING
09:52:55 PROGRAM.
09:52:58 SO I WANT TO CAUTION YOU TO LOOK AT -- BEFORE YOU START
09:53:03 CUTTING DIFFERENT IDEAS WITH YOUR HOUSING PROGRAM WITH
09:53:06 HOW IT RELATES TO THE EAST TAMPA PROGRAM, MAKE SURE WE
09:53:10 VET TO MAKE THE OTHER OUTLETS YOU ARE ASKING TO DO THE
09:53:13 WORK CAN DO THE WORK AND I HAVE BEEN FINDING OUT THEY
09:53:16 HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE -- I HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH
09:53:18 CARROLL POST IN REFERENCE TO THAT.
09:53:25 I WANT TO BE CAUTIOUS OF THAT BECAUSE IS NOT MAKING
09:53:29 THAT MATARSHA HICKS IN THE EAST TAMPA.
09:53:30 I WATCHED THAT PROGRAM.
09:53:33 IT IS VERY INTENSE OF HOW PEOPLE CAN MAINTAIN, SUSTAIN
09:53:34 AND KEEP THEIR HOME.
09:53:37 THE ONLY COMPONENT THAT I DON'T THINK HAS WHICH HURTS
09:53:40 IT, YOU NEED TO PUT A PORTION IN THERE SO PEOPLE ARE
09:53:42 ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY CAN QUALIFY FOR.
09:53:46 WHEN YOU GO TO A CLASS, YOUR HOPE AND DREAM IS TO OWN A
09:53:48 HOUSE OR A CONDO.
09:53:51 BUT YOU GO TO A CLASS AND YOU WALK AWAY AND LOOK AT THE
09:53:53 NUMBERS YOU DON'T HAVE A GREAT SUCCESS RATE BECAUSE
09:53:56 PEOPLE CAN'T GET TO THE END OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD TO
09:53:57 GET THE TOUCHDOWN.
09:54:00 TO PUT SOME OTHER THINGS IN FRONT OF THAT SO THEY
09:54:04 UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY NEED TO BE, AND WHERE THEY NEED TO
09:54:07 BE TO GROW AND GET THE HOUSING THEY NEED.
09:54:10 I AM HOPING WE MAKE THE FINAL DECISION WITH THE CDC AND
09:54:12 LOOK AT THE OVERALL ASPECT OF HOUSING.
09:54:15 AS IT RELATES TO REHAB, I KNOW THAT IS A BIG CONCERN.
09:54:18 YOU TALKED ABOUT THAT FROM DAY ONE ON COUNCIL.
09:54:21 I AM LOOKING TO MAKE A MOTION AT THE END FOR INTEREST
09:54:24 MONEY TO TRANSFER MORE MONEY FROM THE INTEREST INTO
09:54:26 REHAB TO BOOST THAT PROGRAM.
09:54:27 I THINK THAT IS NEEDED.
09:54:30 SO I AM GOING TO BE MAKING A MOTION AS IT RELATES TO
09:54:31 THAT, THE ACTION PLAN.
09:54:35 I SAW -- TALK ABOUT THE ACTION PLAN.
09:54:38 I WILL MAKE A MOTION AT THE END WITH YOUR ACTION PLAN.
09:54:40 WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS ON WEDNESDAY.
09:54:44 YOUR OFFICE IS VERY BUSY AND YOU ARE VERY BUSY MISS VAN
09:54:45 LOAN.
09:54:48 AND WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS THE ACTION
09:54:51 PLAN TO CARRY OUT THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE ACTION PLAN.
09:54:53 BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ACTION PLAN AND SIT
09:54:57 THERE LIKE IT HAS DONE FOR YEARS AND NOBODY CAN CARRY
09:54:59 OUT THE DREAM OF THE FOLKS AND THE RESIDENTS.
09:55:01 YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HAVE A PERSON IN
09:55:05 PLACE THAT UNDERSTANDS DEVELOPMENT, REAL ESTATE,
09:55:10 WHATEVER IT NEEDS TO TAKE TO MOVE THE STRATEGIC ACTION
09:55:13 WHEN IT IS COMPLETED AND I BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN
09:55:14 TOWARD AUGUST.
09:55:16 THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT NOW
09:55:19 INSTEAD OF WAITING TO AUGUST TO MOVE.
09:55:22 SO THAT WAY WE HAVE SOMEBODY IN PLACE AND START MOVING
09:55:25 WHEN IT IS DONE THAT PERSON IS ABLE TO LOOK AT POINT A,
09:55:28 B, C AND D TO GET TO THE FINISH LINE OF THE ACTION
09:55:29 PLAN.
09:55:33 I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MONEY ON AN ACTION PLAN AND NOT
09:55:34 MOVING.
09:55:38 A LOT OF FOLKS ON YOUR CAC ARE NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE.
09:55:39 THEY DON'T KNOW REAL ESTATE.
09:55:41 THEY DON'T KNOW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
09:55:45 THEY WANT TO BE GOOD CITIZENS TO BOLSTER THE COMMUNITY,
09:55:48 BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE NUTS AND BOLTS TO MAKE IT MOVE
09:55:49 LIKE IT NEEDS TO MOVE.
09:55:52 THAT IS WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD ON THAT.
09:55:57 I KNOW THAT MISS THROWER IS DOING THE BEST JOB THAT YOU
09:55:58 CAN.
09:56:02 BUT WHAT WHETHER ARE YOU WHY HIRING YOUR MANAGER.
09:56:04 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: GOOD MORNING, MICHELLE VAN LOAN.
09:56:07 I AM GOING TO RESPOND IN REVERSE ORDER TO GET THE EASY
09:56:08 ONES OFF FIRST.
09:56:13 I DO INTEND TO HAVE A NEW EAST COMPANY CRA MANAGER IN
09:56:15 PLACE BY JUNE 1.
09:56:18 THEY WILL BE STARTING SOME TIME IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS
09:56:21 OF MAY, ONCE WE HAVE GOT A FINAL AGREEMENT WITH OUR HR
09:56:22 DEPARTMENT.
09:56:25 SO ONCE I HAVE THAT CONFIRMATION THAT THEY WILL BE
09:56:29 STARTING, A MEMO WILL GO OUT TO CRA BOARD AND THE EAST
09:56:32 SYSTEM CAC AND COMMUNITY ANNOUNCING THAT.
09:56:35 WE ALSO HOPE IT HAVE BY JUNE 1 THE NEW COMMUNICATION
09:56:39 PERSON ONLINE SO WE WILL BE FULLY STAFFED.
09:56:43 REGARDING THE ACTION PLAN, WE WILL COME BACK OVER THE
09:56:47 SUMMER WITH A JOB DESCRIPTION FOR A PERSON THAT WE CAN
09:56:51 HIRE STARTING WITH THE OCTOBER 1 FISCAL YEAR THAT WOULD
09:56:55 COINCIDE WITH THE STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN BEING ADOPTED
09:56:59 BY THE CRA BOARD IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD AND MAKE THAT
09:57:03 A FLEXIBLE POSITION FOR FIRST YEAR OR TWO IN EAST
09:57:08 TAMPA, WE ALLOCATE WHICH PERCENTAGE WHICH CRAS PAY FOR
09:57:09 WHICH PERSONNEL.
09:57:13 AS THAT GETS ROLLING, WE WILL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT
09:57:17 PERSON IN OTHER AREAS AS NEEDED OVER YEARS AND MAKE IT
09:57:20 FLEXIBLE FROM YEAR TO YEAR AND WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU
09:57:22 WITH A JOB DESCRIPTION FOR SUCH A PERSON.
09:57:24 ON THE OWNER-OCCUPIED.
09:57:28 WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HCD SO WE HAVE HAD SOME
09:57:29 IMPROVEMENT IN A COUPLE OF AREAS.
09:57:33 WITH THE CURRENT OWNER-OCCUPIED PROGRAM, HCD CAME BACK
09:57:37 US TO AND ASKED US IF WE COULD ALSO HELP -- THEY HAVE A
09:57:41 GAP IN THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOME WHERE THE FED FUNDS CAN
09:57:42 ONLY DO THE INTERIOR.
09:57:45 THEY ASKED IF THEY COULD USE OUR FUNDS FOR THE
09:57:46 EXTERIOR.
09:57:47 I DID SIGN OFF ON THAT.
09:57:51 MARY ELLEN VAGETO WITH HOUSING IS ACTUALLY GOING BACK
09:57:55 SINCE WE APPROVED THE PROGRAM AT THE END OF 2019 TO GO
09:57:59 BACK TO ANY EAST TAMPA RESIDENTS WHO DID RECEIVE THE
09:58:03 OWNER REHAB LOAN AND GRANT TO SEE IF THEY NEEDED
09:58:07 EXTERIOR HELP SO WE CAN GO BACK AND GET THEM THAT HELP
09:58:09 NOW INSTEAD OF WAITING.
09:58:12 MISS DENISE PATE WHO HAS BEEN WORKING VERY HARD.
09:58:15 SPENT THE LAST TWO MONTHS WORKING WITH HCD TO
09:58:18 UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENT OF THE FEDERAL PROGRAM TO
09:58:20 LOOK AT HOW TO SET UP OUR OWN PROGRAM THAT IS MUCH MORE
09:58:24 ACCESSIBLE BY OUR LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS IN EAST TAMPA
09:58:27 AND OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESIDENTS IN EAST TAMPA.
09:58:29 SHE JUST REPORTED THAT REPORT BACK AT OUR TUESDAY
09:58:34 MEETING AND BRENDA WILL HAVE AN RFP FOR THEM TO GO OUT
09:58:35 FOR THAT NEW PROGRAM.
09:58:40 THEY WILL LOOK AT THAT IN MAY AND WE WILL BRING THAT
09:58:40 BACK TO YOU.
09:58:42 WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS ON PROGRAMS.
09:58:45 LASTLY, I WAS GOING TO BRING IT UP UNDER NEW BUSINESS
09:58:48 BECAUSE THE MOTION MADE AT THE EAST TAMPA CRA MEETING
09:58:51 THAT REGARDING THE HOUSING AND COUNSELING.
09:58:55 WHAT WE REALIZED THAT WHEN EAST TAMPA PASSED IT, THE
09:58:59 DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE GRANTS, OUR RESIDENTS THAT GET
09:59:03 THE MONEY FROM THE CRA IS GETTING -- AND IT IS BEING
09:59:06 STACKED ON TOP OF THE FEDERAL PROGRAM.
09:59:09 SO THEY ARE GOING THROUGH TWO COUNSELING SERVICES.
09:59:12 SO THE ISSUES YOU BROUGHT UP IF OUR COUNSELING PARTNERS
09:59:15 ARE NOT BEING RESPONSIVE OR EFFECTIVE, WE WILL NEED TO
09:59:18 ADDRESS THAT WITH OUR HOUSING AND MAKE SURE WE TALK TO
09:59:21 THEM ABOUT THAT AND FOLLOW UP ON ANY ISSUES WITH THAT.
09:59:25 BUT OUR RESIDENTS ARE BEING ASKED TO GO THROUGH TWO
09:59:26 SETS OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS.
09:59:30 BOTH THE ONE WITH THE FOUR COUNSELING SERVICES AND THE
09:59:33 ADDITIONAL ONE WITH EAST TAMPA.
09:59:37 ONE OF THE CATALYSTS FOR THIS DISCUSSION WAS THAT HCD
09:59:40 IS NO LONGER IN A POSITION TO PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL
09:59:41 SET OF TRAINING.
09:59:44 AND THEY CAME BACK AFTER COMPARING THE EDUCATIONAL
09:59:50 PROGRAMS BETWEEN WHAT LATASHA WAS PROVIDING AND THE
09:59:52 REQUIREMENTS OF THE HUD PROGRAM GOING THROUGH OUR
09:59:57 COUNSELING SERVICES AND OUR HOUSING PEOPLE FELT WHAT
10:00:01 WAS THE ACTUAL CLASSES AND CONTENT PROVIDING THROUGH
10:00:03 OUR COUNSELING SERVICES COVERED THE SAME BASIS TO
10:00:06 CREATE A SOLID HOMEOWNER WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THEY
10:00:07 ARE GETTING INTO.
10:00:10 AGAIN, IF ISSUES OF DELIVERING THAT SERVICE WE WILL
10:00:12 ADDRESS THAT WITH OUR HOUSING PARTNERS.
10:00:14 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
10:00:19 I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHEN PEOPLE GO TO THESE CLASSES.
10:00:21 HOPES AND DREAM.
10:00:24 WHEN THEY FINISH THE CLASS, WHERE DO I GO NEXT.
10:00:25 THEY NEED A POINT THEY ARE COMING IN THE DOOR.
10:00:29 WHO ARE THE LENDER AS SOON AS WHO ARE THE PEOPLE TO SEE
10:00:31 WHERE I QUALIFY?
10:00:33 THESE STEPS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND I DON'T THINK THEY
10:00:34 ARE BEING ADDRESSED.
10:00:35 WHEN YOU REDO YOUR PROGRAM, ESPECIALLY THE EAST TAMPA
10:00:41 PROGRAM, NEEDS BE A COMPONENT WHERE PEOPLE NEED NO KNOW
10:00:42 WHERE TO GO AND LOST.
10:00:44 NO ONE IS GETTING HOUSES.
10:00:46 THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE HO TO APPLY WITH.
10:00:49 WHAT THE DEBT RATIO WILL BE.
10:00:51 JUST SAYING GOING TO COUNSELING -- COUNSELING WHICH IS
10:00:53 FOUR HOURS IF YOU OUTSOURCE.
10:00:56 NOT LIKE THE EAST TAMPA WHERE IT WAS MORE INTENSE.
10:01:00 I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE ABOUT STREAMLINING IT, BUT I HAVE
10:01:03 AN ISSUE WE ARE NOT ABLE TO GET THEM TO THE FINISH LINE
10:01:06 TO OFFER THAT SERVICE AND A HOUSING PROGRAM WITH GRANT
10:01:08 MONEY WE HAVE, IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETE SO PEOPLE CAN
10:01:10 GET TO THE END RESULT.
10:01:13 THAT IS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR ON THAT.
10:01:17 MY LAST TWO ITEMS, MISS VAN LOAN, IS TO TALK ABOUT THE
10:01:18 ROUNDABOUT.
10:01:22 I KNOW MISS RENEE HOLMES HAS BEEN MEETING WITH THE
10:01:25 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION ON THE CITY SIDE AND MAKE SURE
10:01:27 THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS ARE INVOLVED IN THIS
10:01:29 PROCESS WITH THIS ROUNDABOUT.
10:01:33 THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS MANY, MANY YEARS AGO WANTED THE
10:01:36 ROUNDABOUTS AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEIR VOICES ARE
10:01:41 HEARD THROUGH THIS PROCESS WHICH MISS ROBIN NIGH WHO IS
10:01:42 DOING A GREAT JOB.
10:01:47 MR. DINGFELDER WHO WAS DOING THE TOURS.
10:01:49 WE WANT THE BEAUTIFICATION.
10:01:50 PEOPLE COME TO EAST TAMPA.
10:01:52 THEY SEE BEAUTIFICATION.
10:01:54 THEY WANT TO LIVE THERE AND FIX THEIR HOUSES UP.
10:01:58 THE KEY CATALYST OF A COMMUNITY MAKING IT BEAUTIFIED.
10:02:00 I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE CONSCIOUS OF THAT.
10:02:04 LASTLY RESIGNATION ON THE CAC BOARD.
10:02:07 GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS WHERE WE NOW PUT THE HAT WITH
10:02:09 THE DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS AND SELECT THOSE WHO GO GET
10:02:10 ON THE BOARD NOW?
10:02:13 HOW ARE WE GOING TO WORK THAT OUT?
10:02:16 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: MY LAST ITEM UNDER THE STAFF
10:02:19 REPORTS IS TO BRING SOME ISSUES THAT I WOULD LIKE TO
10:02:22 PUT ON THE MAY AGENDA SO THAT WE HAVE STAFF REPORTS ON
10:02:24 SEVERAL ITEMS.
10:02:26 WE HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
10:02:28 WE UNDERSTAND AND RESERVING THE TIME AT THE MAIN
10:02:32 MEETING SO GET INTO ACTUAL PROCESSES FOR FOUR OR FIVE
10:02:36 ITEMS THAT CRA BOARD NEED TO PUT CLOSURE TO AND THAT IS
10:02:37 ONE OF THEM.
10:02:40 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MISS VAN LOAN.
10:02:41 ANYONE ELSE.
10:02:43 MR. CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
10:02:45 >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR, FOR THOSE
10:02:46 COMMENTS.
10:02:48 I AGREE WITH THOSE THINGS THAT YOU SAID.
10:02:51 I WOULD LIKE STAFF -- ESPECIALLY MISS THROWER FOR
10:02:53 STEPPING UP LEADING THIS EFFORT.
10:02:56 I KNOW IT IS NOT EASY BRINGING EVERYONE TOGETHER, BUT
10:02:59 THE LIST OF THINGS THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON IS IMPORTANT
10:03:01 AND IMPRESSIVE.
10:03:03 GLAD YOU ARE REACHING OUT AND WORKING WITH THE
10:03:08 COMMUNITY AND I KNOW WE ARE HITTING HICCUPS ALONG THE
10:03:10 WAY, BUT I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING.
10:03:14 I AGREE WITH CHAIR GUDES ABOUT THE INTEREST MONEY.
10:03:17 I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MISS VAN LOAN ABOUT THIS.
10:03:20 YOU KNOW THIS IS A COMMUNITY THAT -- THAT HAS LOTS OF
10:03:22 NEEDS AND LOTS OF REQUESTS.
10:03:24 AND WE HAVE MONEY SITTING IN THE ACCOUNT.
10:03:27 AND SO I THINK WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD AS QUICKLY AS
10:03:29 POSSIBLE TO ALLOCATE THAT MONEY.
10:03:32 MONEY HAS BEEN SITTING THERE FOR A LONG TIME, SO WE
10:03:35 SHOULD MAKE SURE WE ALLOCATE IT.
10:03:38 ALSO CHAIR GUDES MENTIONED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
10:03:41 THE BIG PROBLEM WE HAVE IN TAMPA, AND WE HAVE SEEN THE
10:03:43 DATA ON THIS FROM TAMPA BAY PARTNERSHIP AND OTHERS.
10:03:46 THE BIG PROBLEM IN TAMPA, THERE IS NO ECONOMIC
10:03:47 DEVELOPMENT.
10:03:50 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T EXIST IN TAMPA.
10:03:53 IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, WE HAVE ONE ECONOMIC PERSON, BUT
10:03:56 HE IS MOSTLY ASSIGNED TO REAL ESTATE PROJECTS.
10:03:59 AND REAL ESTATE IS NOT -- IN FLORIDA WE OFTEN CALLED
10:04:03 ECONOMIC REDEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUT IT IS
10:04:03 NOT.
10:04:09 WE NEED TO STOP MEASURE SUCCESS IN ECONOMIC BY REAL
10:04:09 ESTATE DEVELOPMENT.
10:04:12 IT IS A PART, AN IMPORTANT PART.
10:04:15 DEVELOPERS, DO THEY WANT US TO SUBSIDIZE MORE BUILDINGS
10:04:20 LIKE WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST OR TENANTS AND BUYERS.
10:04:22 THEY WANT BUYERS AND TENANTS.
10:04:25 WE NEED TO GET THAT.
10:04:28 I AGREE WITH CHAIR GUDES AND DOESN'T MEAN
10:04:33 GENTRIFICATION AND BIG DEVELOPERS IN EAST TAMPA, IT IS
10:04:35 BUILDING A ROBUST COMMUNITY.
10:04:42 AND LOOK AT GROUPS LIKE THAT HAVE LOW WAGES, LOW LAND
10:04:44 PRICE SUBSIDIES AND LOW TAXES.
10:04:47 THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE DOING ANYWAY --
10:04:48 EITHER.
10:04:52 BASIC MARKETING 101, SELL BY DIFFERENTIATION AND PRICE.
10:04:54 PRICE IS A REAL TOUGH THING.
10:04:57 WALMART DOES IT OKAY, BUT BESIDE THAT EVERYBODY ELSE
10:04:58 JUST ABOUT SALES.
10:05:00 WE SHOULDN'T BE SELLING BASED ON PRICE.
10:05:02 WE SHOULD BE SELLING BASED ON THE QUALITY OF THE
10:05:04 COMMUNITY.
10:05:07 THE OTHER THING THEY MOVE FROM ONE SIDE OF TOWN TO THE
10:05:10 OTHER COMPETING WITH THE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE PEOPLE.
10:05:13 WE NEED THOUGHTFUL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TRACK THE
10:05:16 RIGHT NUMBERS AND MOVE THE NUMBERS IN A MEANINGFUL WAY,
10:05:18 MOST IMPORTANTLY CREATE COMMUNITIES THAT PEOPLE LIKE
10:05:20 LIVING IN, THEY ENJOY LIVING IN WHERE THE KIDS AND
10:05:24 GRANDKIDS CAN GROW UP TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND BUILD
10:05:27 MULTIGENERATIONAL WEALTH.
10:05:27 THANK YOU.
10:05:30 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE?
10:05:33 OKAY, MISS THROWER, ANYTHING ELSE?
10:05:35 ARE YOU COMPLETE WITH YOUR PRESENTATION?
10:05:39 I KNOW WE THREW A LOT -- I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN DOING A
10:05:41 LOT OF HARD WORK, BRENDA.
10:05:44 AND I WATCHED THOSE MEETINGS AND YOU AND MARCUS AND
10:05:47 STAFF, YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.
10:05:48 YOU ARE HANGING IN THERE.
10:05:50 REALLY APPRECIATE YOU.
10:05:53 I SENT OUT THE E-MAILS TO YOU AND MISS VAN LOAN.
10:05:55 FOR YOU GUYS TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BOARD.
10:05:58 THEY NEED UNDERSTAND WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING AND WHAT
10:06:00 THEIR ROLE IS AND WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS SAYING.
10:06:02 I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.
10:06:03 THEY ARE GETTING BETTER.
10:06:05 THE BOARD IS GETTING BETTER.
10:06:07 GIVE THEM THEIR PROPS WHEN THEY ARE THERE BUT A FEW
10:06:10 THINGS WE GOT TO WORK OUT TO UNDERSTAND THE REAL ROLE
10:06:12 -- WHAT THEIR ROLE IS.
10:06:21 AGAIN WITH THE COMMUNITIES TALKING WE NEED TO.
10:06:22 MR. CARLSON.
10:06:25 >>BILL CARLSON: THE PHONE PROBLEM FIXED?
10:06:27 THE TECHNOLOGY?
10:06:28 VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.
10:06:33 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IT IS WORKING GOOD.

10:07:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: GOOD MORNING, MISS ORR.
10:07:08 >> GOOD MORNING.
10:07:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: DON'T HURT YOURSELF.
10:07:17 >> HOOKED ON AN EARRING.
10:07:18 >> WILL YOU DO A TEST?
10:07:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT HAPPENS EVERY NOW AND THEN.

10:08:33 WILL BE INSTALLED HOPEFULLY STARTING -- DEFINITELY SOME

10:08:38 THE COMMUNITY CAME US TO SEEING A DIRE NEED FOR A NEW
10:08:42 TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE INTERSECTION OF ADAMO DRIVE AND
10:08:43 26TH STREET.
10:08:46 WE DID SEND A LETTER TO FDOT WHICH THEY RESPONDED
10:08:51 FAVORLY THAT THAT INTERSECTION DID MEET THE REQUIREMENT
10:08:55 FOR A NEW SIGNAL AND WE LOOK FORWARD FOR THE
10:08:59 CONSTRUCTION OF IT TO BEGIN FALL OF 2022.
10:09:04 WE HOSTED OUR THREE BIMONTHLY COMMITTEE MEETINGS IN

10:09:59 SO HERE ARE MORE OF THE COMMUNITY COMMUNICATIONS.

10:10:04 PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL POLICE FOUNDATION.
10:10:07 THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM SO I
10:10:11 WILL LEAVE IT FOR CAPTAIN OWEN TO ADDRESS.
10:10:13 WE HAVE FACILITATED MEETINGS WITH THE PARKING

10:10:23 RATE CHANGES IN YBOR CITY AND I WANTED TO EXPRESS
10:10:28 APPRECIATION FOR MOBILITY'S AVAILABILITY TO US AND

10:11:00 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MISS ORR, I AM GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE
10:11:07 ARCH LIGHTS ON 7TH AVENUE ARE FINALLY -- FINALLY ABOUT
10:11:09 TO BE STARTED.
10:11:12 I CAN REMEMBER TALKING ABOUT THIS WAY BACK WHEN I
10:11:17 BELIEVE WALTER A. WAS PRESIDENT AND THE MAYOR OF YBOR
10:11:18 CITY.
10:11:22 MR. VINCE PARDO WAS WITH THE YCDC.
10:11:25 LET'S HOPE THAT WE CAN GET THIS COMPLETED SOME TIME
10:11:25 SOON.
10:11:29 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS ORR.
10:11:31 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MISS ORR.
10:11:37 MAYBE MISS VAN LOAN CAN COME UP AS WELL.

10:11:43 WHEN I WAS ON THE EAST TAMPA CAC AND OTHERS WHO COME
10:11:47 BEFORE ME, THEY TALKED ABOUT THOSE ARCHWAYS.
10:11:50 YOU KNOW TO COME INTO A COMMUNITY TO SEE SOMETHING
10:11:51 DIFFERENT.
10:11:55 DO WE RECALL THE AMOUNT THAT CAC PAID FOR THOSE
10:11:58 ARCHWAYS FOR YBOR CITY?
10:12:01 >> ORIGINALLY AN ART PROJECT THAT WAS A TEMPORARY ART
10:12:04 PROJECT TO CELEBRATE THE -- IT WAS A CENTENNIAL
10:12:06 CELEBRATION.
10:12:07 VERY TEMPORARY.
10:12:10 SO THEY HAVE BEEN UP THERE FOR 21 YEARS.
10:12:12 AND DUE TO SAFETY REASONS, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THEY
10:12:14 COME DOWN AND REPLACE THEM WITH SOMETHING THAT MEETS
10:12:18 CURRENT CODE AND CURRENT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
10:12:19 I DON'T KNOW.
10:12:23 I CAN'T TELL YOU THE COST IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN 2000.
10:12:26 I BELIEVE IT WAS A DONATION FROM A HUSBAND AND WIFE
10:12:27 TEAM.
10:12:30 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MISS VAN LOAN, JUST FOR FYI, IF YOU
10:12:33 CAN GET WITH THE STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN COMMITTEE OR

10:20:39 THAT LCC AND KFORCE NOW ASKING AN ASSIGNMENT TO THE
10:20:41 RIGHTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
10:20:44 AT THIS TIME THE ONLY REQUEST IS FOR CHANGE OF
10:20:44 OWNERSHIP.
10:20:50 IF YOU HAVE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS, MR. MASSEY IS
10:20:52 HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.
10:20:55 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOVE.
10:20:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND.
10:20:58 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MAY I SPEAK.
10:21:01 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, MR. MIRANDA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
10:21:03 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANT TO GO BACK AND GIVE A LITTLE
10:21:08 HISTORY IF I MAY, KFORCE AT ONE TIME WAS IN HYDE PARK.
10:21:12 DURING THE GRECO ADMINISTRATION YEARS BACK, THEY WERE
10:21:15 OFFERED A REAL SWEETHEART DEAL TO MOVE THE COMPANY TO
10:21:17 ORLANDO, IF I RECALL.
10:21:21 AND UNDER THAT ADMINISTRATION, GRECO ADMINISTRATION AND
10:21:24 COUNCIL AT THAT TIME, WE THOUGHT IT WAS NECESSARY TO
10:21:25 KEEP SOMEBODY HERE.
10:21:28 AND WITH WE WORKED ON AN AGREEMENT FOR THEM TO MOVE TO
10:21:29 PALM AVENUE.
10:21:32 THEY WERE ONE OF THE FIRST TO START THAT MOVEMENT AND
10:21:36 START THE REHAB PROGRAM OF BRINGING BUSINESSES WHERE
10:21:41 THEY COULD HAVE JOBS AND PEOPLE COULD HAVE AN INFLUX OF
10:21:45 CAPABILITIES OF HELPING THE ECONOMY NOT ONLY IN
10:21:47 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY BUT YBOR CITY AND THE REST OF THE
10:21:48 CITY OF TAMPA.
10:21:51 THAT'S HOW THEY GOT THE LOCATION WHERE THEY ARE AT
10:21:54 BEHIND THE CENTRO CLUB.
10:22:01 I WANT TO THANK KFORCE AND THE CITY FOR WORKING OUT
10:22:03 DILIGENTLY AND A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH SIDES.
10:22:09 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

10:24:31 OUR CONSULTANT TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW AND ANSWER
10:24:36 ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLAN.
10:24:44 >> IF THEY CAN BRING UP THE PRESENTATION, PLEASE.
10:24:48 BEFORE NEIL COMES UP HERE, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF
10:24:51 LITTLE UPDATE ON THE STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN FOR DREW
10:24:52 PARK.
10:24:55 STAFF IS IT REQUESTING APPROVAL OF THE FINAL DRAFT OF
10:24:58 THE DREW PARK STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE THAT WAS APPROVED
10:25:04 BY THE DREW PARK CAC AT THEIR MARCH 2, 2021 PUBLIC
10:25:06 MEETING WHICH WAS REGULARLY SCHEDULED.
10:25:11 THIS PROCESS STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO IN MARCH OF 2020.
10:25:16 NEIL STRALO WITH VHB CONSULTANTS.
10:25:19 THEY WERE CHOSEN BACK THEN TO PROCEED WITH THIS.
10:25:22 UNFORTUNATELY COVID WAS HIT, AND THAT'S WHEN
10:25:24 INSTITUTIONS, THE CITY AND A LOT OF BUSINESSES STARTED
10:25:27 TO KIND OF SLOW DOWN, SEND INDIVIDUALS HOME.
10:25:31 THE PROCESS BECAME A LOT MORE DIFFICULT AND STRETCHED
10:25:32 OUT A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
10:25:35 WE HAD TO BECOME CREATIVE AND DO A SERIES OF VIRTUAL
10:25:36 MEETINGS.
10:25:40 BASICALLY GO TWO TEAM MEETING SURVEYS.
10:25:44 IN ADDITION NEIL STRALO AND MYSELF BEGAN INTERVIEWING
10:25:45 INDIVIDUALS BY PHONE.
10:25:49 AND ACTUALLY WENT -- A FEW INDIVIDUALS I SPOKE OUTSIDE
10:25:52 VERY SOCIALLY DISTANCED JUST TO GATHER INFORMATION AS
10:25:54 FAR AS DATA COLLECTION PHASE.
10:25:58 NEIL STRALO WITH HIS ORGANIZATION DID ALL THE TECHNICAL
10:25:59 PARTS.
10:26:02 HERE WE GO HERE.
10:26:07 BASICALLY THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS UPDATED FROM THE 2007
10:26:11 PLAN WE HAVE IN PLACE AND STRETCH OVER TO 2025 TO
10:26:16 BASICALLY HAVE A VISUAL COURSE OF ACTION ON HOW TO
10:26:22 SPEND OUR TIF FUNDS OUT IN DREW PARK.
10:26:26 AGAIN A LOT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT VIRTUALLY AND VIRTUAL
10:26:31 PARTICIPATION AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS BY NEIL STRALO AND
10:26:33 HIS TEAM AND ALLOWED US TO DRIVE FORWARD THE UPDATE
10:26:37 AND, AGAIN, THE TIF DOLLARS.
10:26:40 WILL GIVE US A COURSE OF ACTION HOW TO PROCEED WITH
10:26:40 THAT.
10:26:44 I WILL TURN IT OVER TO NEIL STRALO.
10:26:47 THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE WORKSHOPS THAT WE HELD.
10:26:52 THREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP AT ONE AT HILLSBOROUGH COMMUNITY
10:26:55 COLLEGE, WHICH IS A HYBRID AND IN ADDITION WE DID HAVE
10:26:58 SERIES OF PHONE CALLS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH A LOT OF
10:27:00 BUSINESS OWNERS AND INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE.
10:27:06 I AM GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO NEIL STRALO FOR HIS
10:27:15 PRESENTATION.
10:27:18 >> THANK YOU, JESUS.
10:27:26 NEIL STRALO, SENIOR PLANNER FOR VHB, KENNEDY BOULEVARD,
10:27:28 SUITE 310, TAMPA, FLORIDA.
10:27:31 WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY BE WITH YOU AND TO
10:27:35 COMPLETE THIS SAP UPDATE FROM THE 2007 MASTER PLAN.
10:27:38 THE SLIDE IN FRONT OF YOU -- I HAVE A SERIES OF SLIDES
10:27:41 FOR YOUR BRIEFING THIS MORNING.
10:27:45 JUST TO REPRESENT THE CONTEXT OF THE OVERALL MASTER
10:27:48 PLAN AND THE MATERIALS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE
10:27:50 CAC.
10:27:55 THE SLIDE OFF THIS IN FRONT OF YOU SHOWS THE MAJOR
10:27:57 TOPIC RANKINGS.
10:28:01 THESE WERE CONSENSUS ITEMS THAT BOTH THE CAC
10:28:04 STAKEHOLDERS AND ONLINE SURVEYS REPRESENTED AS KEY
10:28:11 TOPIC AREAS FOR INCLUSION WITHIN THE PLAN.
10:28:15 WORKING WITH US WAS DR. CHRIS JONES OF FLORIDA ECONOMIC
10:28:19 ADVISORS WHO COMPLETED A MARKET ASSESSMENT FOR THE
10:28:21 DISTRICT.
10:28:27 THE SLIDE IN FRONT OF YOU SHOWS HIS SUMMARY THAT SHOWED
10:28:31 MULTIFAMILY, OFFICE, INDUSTRIAL AS HAVING FAVORABLE
10:28:36 CONDITIONS TO PROJECT WITHIN THE NEXT -- THE NEXT TEN
10:28:41 YEARS WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND SEE TRENDS SHIFTING TO
10:28:45 MULTIFAMILY, PROFESSIONAL OFFICE, HAVING SOME
10:28:50 AVAILABILITY AND CONTINUING IN THE INDUSTRIAL LAND
10:28:51 USES.
10:28:56 IN ADDITION TO THE MARKET ASSESSMENT, THERE WERE A
10:28:59 SERIES OF UPDATES OF THE 2007 PLANNING ASSESSMENTS.
10:29:04 THOSE INCLUDED STREETS, TRANSIT, LAND USE, REGULATIONS,
10:29:09 LAW ENFORCEMENT CODE VIOLATIONS AND TIF PRIORITIES.
10:29:14 THE SLIDE IN FRONT OF YOU REPRESENT A STORMWATER
10:29:19 ASSESSMENT THAT REPRESENTS PARTIAL AREAS THAT HAVE
10:29:23 HIGHER -- HIGHER LEVEL OF PROBABILITY AND DESIGN
10:29:24 CRITERIA.
10:29:29 YOU CAN SEE THAT STORMWATER CONTINUES TO BE A SENSITIVE
10:29:33 ISSUE WITHIN THE DREW PARK AND EFFECTS THE OVERALL
10:29:38 REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF NUMEROUS PARCELS WITHIN THE
10:29:42 DISTRICT.
10:29:48 STAKEHOLDERS IDENTIFIED A LOT OF CONCERN AND INTEREST
10:29:50 IN STREET CONDITIONS.
10:29:56 BOTH FROM THE OCCUPATION OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAYS, WHERE
10:30:00 SIDEWALKS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED AND INSTALLED, AND THE
10:30:06 OVERALL USE OF UNREGULATED PARKING IN THE HEAVY --
10:30:07 HEAVY USE AREAS.
10:30:13 AND SO AS PART OF OUR STUDY, THE IMAGES ON THE RIGHT
10:30:18 DEPICT ALTERNATIVES THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF
10:30:23 -- OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENTS TO DESIGNATE
10:30:29 DIAGONAL OR PARALLEL ON-STREET PARKING WHILE
10:30:31 ACCOMMODATING SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS AND STORMWATER
10:30:33 ACCOMMODATION WITHIN THE DISTRICT.
10:30:38 THESE ARE VARIOUS TECHNIQUES THAT MAY BE USED ON A
10:30:42 CASE-BY-CASE BASIS WITHIN THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC
10:30:46 RIGHT-OF-WAYS WITHIN THE DISTRICTS.
10:30:51 ANOTHER INTEREST AREA THAT HAS BEEN SPOKEN ABOUT TODAY
10:30:56 IN MULTIPLE DISCUSSIONS IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
10:30:59 THE CONTINUED NEED FOR HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE
10:31:01 RESIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF DREW PARK.
10:31:06 THE CITY DOES OWN PROPERTIES, INDIVIDUAL PARCELS AS
10:31:16 PART OF OUR EFFORT, WE LOOKED AT POTENTIAL TOWNHOME
10:31:18 RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT OF SOME OF THOSE PARCELS TO
10:31:20 IDENTIFY THE POTENTIAL THAT SITS WITHIN SOME OF THESE
10:31:25 PUBLICLY OWNED LANDS.
10:31:28 IN ADDITION NUMEROUS VACANT PARCELS WITHIN THE DISTRICT
10:31:44 AND REALLY THE -- THE CAUSE AND THE -- AND THE FOCUS
10:31:48 AND RESIDENTIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL TO STRENGTHEN AND GET
10:31:51 THEM BACK ON THE TAX ROLLS AND SOME OF THE STRATEGIES
10:31:58 ARE POINTED TOWARD THEM BUDGETING.
10:32:04 WHEN SHARING WITH THE CAC THE ANNUAL TIF TAX INCREMENT
10:32:05 HAS BEEN GROWING.
10:32:08 THE BAR CHART ON THE TOP SHOW THE DIP IN POST
10:32:16 RECESSION, BUT LAST YEAR WAS $1.6 MILLION AND SHOWING
10:32:21 NOMINALLY INCREASING TO THE FUTURE AND COMING IN TO A
10:32:26 GOOD STRETCH OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE TRUST.
10:32:31 MORE THAN 68% OF BUDGET ALLOCATIONS FROM 2007 TO 2020
10:32:35 HAVE BEEN IN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND THE
10:32:41 COMMUNITY IS CONTINUING TO SEE INTEREST TO DO THAT.
10:32:46 ALONG WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND CONTINUED SAFETY
10:32:51 IMPROVEMENTS OR PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS TO KEEP A HANDLE
10:32:54 ON CRIME REDUCTION.
10:32:58 THE LAST THREE SLIDES ARE PART OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS
10:33:00 OF THE REPORT.
10:33:08 THEY ARE KEY STRATEGIES THAT THE CAC AND STAFF CAN USE
10:33:12 IN THE -- IN THE FUTURE IN THE ANNUAL WORK PLAN
10:33:13 CREATION.
10:33:18 THEY REPRESENT LEAD AGENCY AND DEPARTMENTS AND RELATIVE
10:33:22 PRIORITY OF HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW, AND HOW -- WHAT A
10:33:26 STATUS IS AND WHETHER IT IS ONGOING OR TO BE DETERMINED
10:33:34 OR TARGETED DATE BY WHICH SOME OF THESE SHOULD OCCUR.
10:33:40 THE STRATEGIES ARE IDENTIFIED TO BE HIGH LEVEL AND
10:33:45 FLEXIBLE SO THAT THEY REPRESENT ALL OF THE STAKEHOLDER
10:33:50 INPUT TO DATE, AND GIVE FLEXIBILITY TO STAFF TO BRING
10:33:53 FORTH WORK PROGRAM TO THE CAC AND ULTIMATELY APPROVED
10:33:56 BY THE CRA IN THE ANNUAL WORK PROGRAMS.
10:33:58 THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION.
10:34:02 AND JUST IN CLOSING WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE
10:34:07 OPPORTUNITY TO BE YOUR CONSULTANT ON DREW PARK.
10:34:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:34:09 ANY QUESTIONS?
10:34:11 MR. CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
10:34:14 >>BILL CARLSON: JUST A QUICK COMMENT AS WE ARE
10:34:15 THINKING OUT.
10:34:18 AND ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT THE MAYOR IS DOING IS
10:34:21 ADDING PLANNING BACK TO THE CITY, AND THERE ARE
10:34:24 MULTIPLE PLANS GOING ON IN A LOT OF COMMUNITIES AND WE
10:34:27 NEED MORE OF IT AND I WISH WE COULD AFFORD MORE STAFF.
10:34:30 RANDY AND OTHERS ARE DOING GREAT JOBS ON ALL THAT.
10:34:34 AS WE ARE PLANNING, WE ARE GETTING LOTS OF FEEDBACK
10:34:38 FROM NEIGHBORHOODS AND THIS IS NOT -- ONLY A COMMENT
10:34:42 ABOUT DREW PARK, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS
10:34:46 HAPPENING SYSTEMICALLY IS PEOPLE WHO ARE -- GRADUATED
10:34:54 FROM HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE WANT PLACES TO GO TO DRINK
10:34:55 AND HAVE FUN.
10:35:00 THAT PLACE IN THE '90S WAS YBOR CITY AND NOW IT IS
10:35:04 BECOMING A CITY AGAIN AND COMMUNITIES AND LANDOWNERS
10:35:06 ARE PUSHING THE BARS OUT.
10:35:11 2000S THEY MOVED TO SOUTH HOWARD AND PART OF THAT WAS A
10:35:11 BAR DISTRICT.
10:35:13 THE NEIGHBORS DON'T LIKE IT.
10:35:14 THEY NEVER LIKED IT.
10:35:17 THEY WANTED TO GET RID OF THEM.
10:35:21 AND NOW APPLICATION AROUND FLORIDA AVENUE, TAMPA
10:35:25 HEIGHTS, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS AREA, AND I HAVEN'T STUDIED
10:35:28 IT BUT IT MAY BE A PLACE -- GREAT RESTAURANTS -- IF WE
10:35:31 DON'T WATCH IT THAT WILL BE A BAR DISTRICT.
10:35:33 BUT SOMEWHERE IN THE COMMUNITY WE NEED A BAR DISTRICTS
10:35:36 OR MULTIPLE BAR DISTRICTS.
10:35:40 SING PORE WITH REPUTATION OF ULTRACONSERVATIVE.
10:35:44 REALIZED IF THEY DIDN'T BUILD BAR DISTRICTS, THEIR
10:35:47 YOUNG PEOPLE WOULD MOVE.
10:35:50 AND DREW PARK IN THE LAST 20 YEARS AN INDUSTRIAL AREA
10:35:54 AND SEEMS LIKE A PLACE YOU COULD PUT A BAR DISTRICT.
10:35:57 SOME STAKEHOLDERS DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA BUT PROPERTY
10:35:59 ADJACENT TO THE AIRPORT.
10:36:04 THE AIRPORT HAS BEEN BUYING -- ASK PEOPLE TO THINK IF
10:36:07 WE WANT TO KEEP OUR BEST AND BRIGHTEST YOUNG PEOPLE,
10:36:10 WHERE IS THE BAR DISTRICT GOING TO GO?
10:36:11 NEIGHBORHOODS DON'T WANT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF A
10:36:12 NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:36:13 ONE BAR IS FINE.
10:36:17 YOU TALKED OF THE ISSUE OF PACKAGED LIQUOR, BUT PEOPLE
10:36:21 DON'T WANT BARS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PARTYING UNTIL 1:00 IN
10:36:22 THE MORNING EITHER.
10:36:24 WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT IT THAT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE
10:36:28 AND NOT NECESSARILY WHERE PEOPLE LIVE.
10:36:30 NOT QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED NOW.
10:36:33 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK YOU MADE A GOOD POINT, MR.
10:36:33 CARLSON.
10:36:35 WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT.
10:36:37 I GO WITH OTHER CITIES -- WE ARE GOING TO MEET AT THIS
10:36:38 LOCATION.
10:36:42 PEOPLE GO TO A TOWN, A LOT TIMES WE HAVE A LOT OF
10:36:45 FRATERNAL ORGANIZES WANT TO COME IN -- WANT TO KNOW
10:36:47 WHERE WE GO.
10:36:48 A GOOD POINT.
10:36:50 PEOPLE WANT THEM IN THE COMMUNITY.
10:36:53 THAT'S WHY I VOTE THEM DOWN.
10:36:55 PUT PACKAGE STORE IT IS BRINGS ON A LOT OF BAD THINGS.
10:37:00 A DISTRICT WHERE THAT IS THERE AND PEOPLE CAN GO TO.
10:37:03 I THINK THAT IS WELL TAKEN.
10:37:07 >>LUIS VIERA: I WOULD SUGGEST AND MAKE NEW TAMPA OUR
10:37:08 NEW AREA FOR THAT.
10:37:13 I THINK THAT IS PERFECTLY FIT -- THAT IS A JOKE.
10:37:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SO CRAZY, MAN.
10:37:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU ARE THE BOY THAT CRIES WOLF.
10:37:22 ONE DAY YOU WILL WANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
10:37:26 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CITRO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
10:37:28 >>JOSEPH CITRO: GREAT POINTS.
10:37:30 BETTER DONE WITH AB SALES.
10:37:34 WE CAN REGULATE AB SALES EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY AND I
10:37:37 HAVE BEEN MAKING QUESTIONS ABOUT PROXIMITY OF BARS
10:37:41 WITHIN THE AREA, HOURS OF OPERATION, AMPLIFIED MUSIC
10:37:43 AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
10:37:46 I FEEL IT IS BETTER IF WE GO THROUGH THE AB SALES TO
10:37:48 REGULATE THESE SORT OF THINGS.
10:37:52 BUT THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:37:54 >>ORLANDO GUDES: PUT A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR ITEM

10:40:53 I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO A MUCH BETTER
10:40:58 JOB IN OUR CITY THAT WE ARE -- AND A LOT OF CITIES NEED
10:41:01 TO DO THAT BETTER INVESTING IN YOUTH AND BETTER
10:41:05 CREATING A PATH OF UPWARD MOBILITY FOR A LOT OF OUR
10:41:05 YOUNG PEOPLE.
10:41:08 A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TALKED ON CITY COUNCIL ON A
10:41:12 MOTION I BROUGHT UP OF HAVING YOUTH PROGRAM MUCH LIKE
10:41:15 WE HAVE FOR THE EAST TAMPA CRA FOR OTHER HISTORICALLY
10:41:19 DISADVANTAGED AREA LIKE UNIVERSITY AREA, SULPHUR
10:41:21 SPRINGS, ETC.
10:41:23 JUST GIVING YOUNG PEOPLE HOPE.
10:41:27 SOMETHING THAT COUNCILMAN GUDES TALKS ABOUT SO
10:41:28 WONDERFULLY.
10:41:30 AND CONSISTENT WITH AN ORDINANCE THAT WE RECENTLY
10:41:34 PASSED THAT GOD WILLING -- THE STATE CERTIFIED
10:41:38 APPRENTICESHIP ORDINANCE THAT GOES A LONG WAY GIVING A
10:41:42 GROUP OF FOLKS MANY YOUNG PEOPLE A BETTER PATHWAY TO
10:41:43 THE MIDDLE CLASS.
10:41:47 ALL THE PROGRAMS TAKEN TOGETHER IF ALLOWED TO WORK OUT
10:41:51 CAN REALLY GO MILES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN HISTORICALLY
10:41:56 DISADVANTAGED AREAS JUST LOOKING FOR A HANDOUT.
10:42:00 AND LOOKING TO HAVE THE TOOLS TO EMPOWER THEMSELVES TO
10:42:02 DO BETTER IN LIFE AND HAVE DIGNITY.
10:42:03 GLAD TO SUPPORT THIS.
10:42:06 THANK YOU, SIR.
10:42:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET ME SAY THIS IN REFERENCE TO THIS
10:42:08 PROGRAM.
10:42:11 IT IS ABOUT WHAT YOU PUT IN.
10:42:14 WHEN YOU PUT IN SOMETHING, YOU WANT TO SEE THE LABORS
10:42:17 OF THAT WORK.
10:42:20 AND IF THE PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE WILL
10:42:23 BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT ENTREPRENEURIALSHIP,
10:42:25 UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITIES AND BUILD SOMETHING
10:42:28 IN THEIR COMMUNITY, THAT IS GOING TO BE A SENSE OF
10:42:32 PRIDE FOR THEM TO ALWAYS COME BACK TO SAY I HELPED
10:42:32 BUILD THAT.
10:42:34 I HELPED DESIGN THAT.
10:42:40 TO TAKE UP SLUM AND BLIGHT IN MY COMMUNITY.
10:42:45 IF THIS PROGRAM IS GEARED WAY MR. MASSEY TOLD ME GEARED
10:42:47 TO THEY ARE UPLIFTING EAST COMPANY.
10:42:49 THEY ARE BRINGING SOMETHING THAT THE PEOPLE CAN SEE AND
10:42:52 THEY CAN COME BACK AND SAY I HELPED BUILD THAT.
10:42:55 I ORCHESTRATED THAT.
10:42:58 WITH THAT SAID, ANY MORE DISCUSSION?
10:43:01 I ASK TO MOVE THE RESOLUTION.
10:43:02 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO MOVED.
10:43:03 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND.
10:43:06 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MIRANDA MOVED IT.
10:43:07 MR. CITRO SECONDED IT.
10:43:09 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:43:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:43:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
10:43:14 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:43:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:43:17 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:43:20 >>CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH DINGFELDER BEING ABSENT
10:43:21 AT VOTE.
10:43:24 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: ITEM NUMBER 11, OUR LAST ITEM
10:43:28 AGENDA FOR APPROVAL IS THE REPROGRAMMING OF MONEY FROM
10:43:30 AL BARNES PARK.
10:43:33 TWO YEARS AGO WHEN MANY OF YOU CAME ON NEW TO CRA BOARD
10:43:35 AND CITY COUNCIL, YOU BROUGHT WITH IT A LOT OF IDEAS
10:43:42 THAT YOU HEARD FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND FROM THE
10:43:46 CONSTITUENTS YOU WERE TALKING TO.
10:43:48 COUNCILMAN GUDES HEARD A LOT FROM OUR SENIORS IN THE
10:43:53 COMMUNITY IN THE EAST PORTION OF THE CRA ASKING FOR
10:43:56 SPACE FOR SENIOR SO AS THERE WERE NOT MINGLING WITH
10:43:58 KIDS AND HAD A SAFE PLACE FOR THEIR PROGRAMMING.
10:44:02 THE NEED FOR CULTURAL PROGRAMMING IN ADDITION TO JUST
10:44:03 RECREATION.
10:44:06 AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAD THE FOLKS AT FAIR OAKS
10:44:09 CLAMORING AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS FOR AN UPDATED
10:44:12 FACILITY AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR FACILITY AT THAT
10:44:13 AREA.
10:44:17 WHEN COUNCILMAN GUDES GOT ON COUNCIL AS PART OF OUR
10:44:23 BUDGETING PROCESS, THE CRA BOARD ADOPTED $1 MILLION FOR
10:44:24 AL BARNES PARK.
10:44:27 SINCE THEN THE ADMINISTRATION HAVE BEEN ASSESSING BOTH
10:44:29 OF THESE REQUESTS AND SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE
10:44:33 SYNERGY AND OPTION FOR A REGIONAL SOLUTION TO ADDRESS
10:44:37 THE NEEDS OF BOTH SETS OF CONSTITUENTS AND WHAT THEY
10:44:38 WERE ASKING FOR.
10:44:40 BY INCREASING THE POTENTIAL LAND FOOTPRINT AT THE
10:44:43 FACILITY AT NORTH 34TH STREET.
10:44:46 WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CREATE A FULL REGIONAL SOLUTION.
10:44:49 AND EXISTING SITE ALREADY HAS ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE
10:44:53 AND UTILITIES IN ORDER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF BOTH SETS
10:44:54 OF GROUP.
10:44:57 THE REAL ESTATE DIVISION IN THE PAST YEAR HAVE DONE A
10:45:00 GREAT JOB OF NEGOTIATING WITH A LARGE PROPERTY OWNER
10:45:07 JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE POND AT FAIR OAKS, CARACAS AND
10:45:09 ELLIOTT AND REACHED AN AGREEMENT THAT WILL MAKE
10:45:12 ECONOMIC SENSE AND FEASIBLE FOR THE CITY TO MOVE
10:45:14 FORWARD WITH SUCH A REGIONAL PROJECT.
10:45:20 SINCE THE CRA ITSELF DOES NOT GENERALLY SUPPORT AND
10:45:23 FUND VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION, THEY ASKED THAT WE CONSIDER
10:45:26 CONTRIBUTING TO ACQUIRING THE LAND SO WE CAN MOVE
10:45:29 FORWARD WITH THIS LARGER FOOTPRINT AND WITH THIS
10:45:29 PROJECT.
10:45:35 IF WE CAN GO TO THE OVERHEAD FOR A SECOND.
10:45:52 CAN WE BRING UP THE OVERHEAD?
10:45:55 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THEY HAD IT UP BEFORE.
10:45:57 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: I WILL KEEP TALKING WHILE THEY
10:45:59 BRING UP THE OVERHEAD.
10:46:01 WHILE -- THERE WE GO.
10:46:03 PERFECT.
10:46:06 THIS IS STRICTLY A CONCEPTUAL PLAN.
10:46:08 THE ADMINISTRATION BEING PREPARED FOR VARIOUS OPTIONS
10:46:10 AND VARIOUS FOOTPRINTS.
10:46:13 SO IF WE DID ACQUIRE THE LAND TO THE SOUTH THAT YOU SEE
10:46:17 HERE, THIS IS JUST A CONCEPT OF WHAT WE COULD DO WITH
10:46:19 THE ENTIRE AREA, INCLUDING CREATING THIS ADDITIONAL
10:46:23 FACILITY THAT COULD HELP SERVE OUR SENIORS AN MORE OF
10:46:26 THAT CULTURAL ASPECT THAT HAVE BEEN REQUESTED.
10:46:28 THIS IS JUST A CONCEPT.
10:46:31 IF WE DO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS AND ACQUIRE THE
10:46:33 PROPERTY THEN AS SOON AS THAT DEAL GOES, OUR PARKS AND
10:46:36 REC DEPARTMENT WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH GOING FORWARD
10:46:40 WITH COMMUNITY MEETINGS, OUTREACH OF THE COMMUNITY,
10:46:43 TALKING OF THE PROGRAMMING AND NEEDS TO FINALIZE AN
10:46:46 ACTUAL CONCEPT BASED ON THAT GROUP INPUT.
10:46:50 SO WITH THAT, WHAT WE ARE ASKING IS THAT CRA BOARD
10:46:54 REPROGRAM THE MONEY OF $1 MILLION FROM AL BARNES PARK
10:47:02 TO THIS REGIONAL SOLUTION AT THE FAIR OAKS FACILITY.
10:47:04 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN?
10:47:07 MR. CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
10:47:10 >>BILL CARLSON: MR. GUDES, YOU ARE THE ONE THAT LED
10:47:15 THE EFFORT ON AL BARNES AND FAIR OAKS CAME AND WE ALL
10:47:16 ADVOCATED.
10:47:18 I THOUGHT AT ONE POINT WE WOULD DO BOTH.
10:47:21 ARE YOU OKAY WITH DOING THIS AND CAN WE COME BACK WITH
10:47:23 AL BARNES LATE HER IN.
10:47:26 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NO, THE DEAL WITH -- I WORKED WITH
10:47:28 THE MAYOR IN REFERENCE TO AL BARNES.
10:47:31 I MET WITH THE COMMUNITY, OUR SENIORS AND OUR YOUNG
10:47:35 PEOPLE, AND AL BARNES, THEY DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO GO TO
10:47:39 THE FAIR OAKS AREA SOME OF ISSUES IN FAIR OAKS.
10:47:42 BUT THE BIGGER PICTURE, THE BIGGER MAGNITUDE TO GET
10:47:49 EVERYTHING, THE SENIOR CENTER, THE MULTICULTURAL SENT,
10:47:51 THERE WERE ON BOARD WITH IT BECAUSE THAT SIDE IS
10:47:52 GETTING WHAT THEY WANTED.
10:47:56 YES, THE FAIR OAKS WAS THERE AND THEY HAD THEIR ISSUES
10:48:00 AND WE WERE ABLE -- LIKE MISS VAN LOAN SAID, WE WERE
10:48:02 ABLE TO GET EVERYTHING.
10:48:03 A REGIONAL WOW FOR EVERYBODY.
10:48:07 FOR THE FOLKS AS FAR AS GRANT PARK.
10:48:14 TALKING ABOUT FOLKS IN COLLEGE HILL, THE YBOR SOUTH,
10:48:16 EAST SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
10:48:19 THIS THING WILL CONNECT TO EVERYBODY BECAUSE YOU HAVE
10:48:20 ALL THE PROGRAMMING THERE.
10:48:26 AN ACTUAL SENIOR CENTER THAT WILL BE BIG ENOUGH FOR THE
10:48:28 WHOLE SENIORS TO GO SHUFFLEBOARD.
10:48:29 NO KIDS IN THE BUILDING.
10:48:31 ALL FOR OUR SENIORS.
10:48:34 WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR DECADES AND COULD NEVER
10:48:35 GET.
10:48:39 AND YOU HAVE A MULTICULTURAL WHO PRAISED MY IDEA AND
10:48:40 SAW THE CONCEPT.
10:48:44 AND WE OPENED MR. VIERA'S NEW SECTION, MADE IT CLEAR
10:48:47 THAT SOMETHING HAS TO BE IN EAST TAMPA WHERE KIDS IN
10:48:51 THOSE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES CAN BE ABLE TO GO AND HAVE
10:48:55 ACTUAL GYMNASTICS, DANCE AND STEP.
10:48:58 INSTEAD OF DOING STEP IN THE HOT PARKING LOTS.
10:49:01 THEY CAN BE THERE AND HAVE -- ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GET
10:49:05 -- WALK THERE OR TAKE A BUS THERE AND NOT TO HAVE TO BE
10:49:10 TRANSPORTED WAY OUT IN A VAN TO NEW.
10:49:13 MR. VIERA, YOU KNOW, HARDLY ANY OTHER SPACE FOR
10:49:15 REGISTRATION.
10:49:19 SO FOR THAT COMMUNITY TO HAVE THE MAGNITUDE.
10:49:23 SO FOR ME IT IS REALLY A GREAT HEARTBEAT FOR ME TO SEE
10:49:27 THIS PROJECT, BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BENEFIT.
10:49:30 BUT I AM GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I WAS VERY TAKEN
10:49:35 BACK AND HEARTSTRICKEN THIS MORNING WHEN I HAD MY CAC
10:49:37 CHAIR TALK ABOUT A DOOMED PROJECT.
10:49:41 THERE IS NOTHING DOOMED HERE, GENTLEMEN.
10:49:42 THERE IS NOTHING DOOMED HERE.
10:49:44 WE ARE GIVING EVERYBODY WHAT THEY ASKED FOR.
10:49:48 UPGRADING THE FAIR OAKS CENTER AND GETTING ANOTHER
10:49:51 PORTION WHERE WE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP OUR SENIORS AND
10:49:54 YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO GET SCHOLARSHIPS FOR DANCE
10:49:56 AND STEP, GYMNASTICS.
10:50:00 THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME.
10:50:04 SO I JUST SAY SHAME ON MY CAC TO SAY DOOMED.
10:50:05 NOTHING IS DOOMED.
10:50:07 THE PROBLEM WITH EAST TAMPA.
10:50:09 WE ARE ALWAYS HEARING THESE TYPE OF WORDS.
10:50:10 I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT.
10:50:13 WHAT I WANT TO HEAR IS PROGRESS AND WE ARE MAKING
10:50:15 PROGRESS WITH THIS CENTER.
10:50:21 I WANT TO HEAR -- DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT FAIR OAKS.
10:50:23 IT IS A REGIONAL PARK FOR EAST TAMPA.
10:50:25 I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT FAIR OAKS.
10:50:30 WHAT I WANT TO HEAR, WE HAVE A EAST TAMPA CENTER AND IT
10:50:33 IS COMING AND BEING BUILT FOR EVERY CHILD, ADULT,
10:50:37 SENIOR AND EVERY ATHLETE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO
10:50:38 PARTICIPATE WITH PROGRAMMING.
10:50:41 THE KEY ISSUE IS PROGRAMMING.
10:50:43 BRINGING THINGS THAT THEY NEVER HAD BEFORE.
10:50:46 YOU ARE TAKING A BUILDING -- TAKING A BUILDING AND
10:50:50 PEOPLE WHO PARK -- AND ISSUES.
10:50:51 NOT TO KNOCK THAT DOWN.
10:50:52 TO PUT SOMETHING VIABLE THERE.
10:50:54 TO CLEAN UP 34TH STREET.
10:50:57 BRING UP PROPERTY VALUES.
10:50:59 THESE ARE THE THINGS THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION ARE
10:51:03 FIGHTING AND WANT TO SUPPORT OF THIS.
10:51:06 AND I HOPE MY COLLEAGUES WILL SUPPORT WHEN IT IS TIME
10:51:06 FOR THE VOTE.
10:51:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY.
10:51:10 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CITRO.
10:51:12 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MY VISION OF THIS CENTER -- I HAVE
10:51:15 HEARD PEOPLE WITHIN THE AREA SAYING I HAVE LIVED HERE
10:51:18 ALL MY LIFE.
10:51:24 MY VISION OF THIS CENTER IS WHERE A CHILD CAN GROW UP
10:51:27 IN THE EARLY STAGES OF LIFE.
10:51:32 GO THROUGH WHICHEVER, DANCE, BASEBALL, WHATEVER.
10:51:36 AND THEN WHEN THEY BECOME PARENT, CAN TAKE THEIR
10:51:41 CHILDREN TO GROW UP IN THIS CENTER, IN THEIR MIDDLE
10:51:45 AGE, AND WHEN THEY FINALLY RETIRE THEY CAN HAVE THEIR
10:51:47 SENIOR CENTER.
10:51:50 SO THIS CENTER -- THIS CENTER IS GOING TO LAST PEOPLE
10:51:53 THROUGH THEIR ENTIRE LIFE.
10:51:55 I AM GLAD TO SEE THIS GOING FORWARD.
10:51:59 I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT YOU SPEARHEADED THIS IN ONE WAY
10:52:01 OR ANOTHER.
10:52:03 I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT THE CITY IS RECOGNIZED THAT THIS
10:52:07 TYPE OF CENTER IS NEEDED IN EAST TAMPA, AND I WILL
10:52:08 SUPPORT THIS.
10:52:09 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:52:12 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. VIERA AND THEN MR. MANISCALCO.
10:52:14 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
10:52:18 I JUST WANTED TO JUST SALUTE THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE FOR
10:52:19 YOUR DISTRICT.
10:52:24 YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE A DISTRICT CITY COUNCIL MEMBER --
10:52:32 ALL SEVEN OF US ALL OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:52:37 ALL OF US SHOULD HAVE OUR HEART AND MINDS OF THE CITY
10:52:38 OF TAMPA.
10:52:42 BUT YOU HAVE THE DUTY TO FIGHT FOR YOUR DISTRICT AND
10:52:46 YOUR CONSTITUENTS ARE ASKING WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR THE
10:52:48 PARTS OF OUR DISTRICT THAT NEED HELP AND NEED
10:52:49 ATTENTION.
10:52:52 WE HAVE TO BE IN WHAT WE CALL IN THE FLORIDA BAR, A
10:52:55 ZEALOUS ADVOCATE FOR YOUR DISTRICT.
10:52:57 YOU REALLY, REALLY DO.
10:53:00 I FIGHT FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA AND
10:53:04 CERTAIN THINGS THAT I HAVE THAT UNIQUE ROLE FOR
10:53:08 DISTRICT 7 TO BE THEIR ZEALOUS ADVOCATE ON A LOT OF
10:53:12 ISSUES UNIQUE CONCERN FOR THEM BECAUSE IF I DON'T FIGHT
10:53:16 FOR IT NO ONE ELSE WILL HAVE THE HEIGHTENED OR STANDARD
10:53:17 DUTY OF CARE.
10:53:22 WE HAVE A POSITION THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS IN THAT REGARD.
10:53:25 YOU KNOW, CONSISTENT WITH THAT, I WANT TO SALUTE
10:53:28 COUNCILMAN GUDES FOR HIS WORK FOR EAST TAMPA.
10:53:32 YOU KNOW, WE SEE NOT ONLY THIS SENIOR CENTER THAT WILL
10:53:36 BE FORTHCOMING, BUT IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 BUDGET, WE
10:53:37 APPROPRIATE.
10:53:41 I BELIEVE THE NUMBER IS $18.5 MILLION, I BELIEVE THE
10:53:44 NUMBER WAS, FOR EAST TAMPA PARK IMPROVEMENT.
10:53:50 RECREATION CENTER, TRAILS, AND ALL ABILITIES PARK FOR
10:53:52 FOLKS IN EAST TAMPA THAT HAVE SPECIAL NEED,
10:53:58 INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, AWESOME.
10:54:01 THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR EAST TAMPA AND THE CITY OF TAMPA
10:54:04 AND CAME ABOUT NOT ONLY BECAUSE WE HAVE AN
10:54:07 ADMINISTRATION THAT IS COLLABORATIVE WITH CITY COUNCIL
10:54:09 AND WANTS TO WORK WITH US ON HAVING GAINS IN THE
10:54:15 COMMUNITY, BUT BECAUSE EAST TAMPA HAS WHAT I CALL A
10:54:20 ZEALOUS ADVOCATE WHO IS VERY FOCUSED ON PROGRESS FOR
10:54:24 EAST TAMPA AND A LOT OF AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT
10:54:26 BEHIND FOR EAST TAMPA.
10:54:28 SO COUNCILMAN GUDES.
10:54:29 I WANTED TO SALUTE YOU FOR THAT.
10:54:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANISCALCO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
10:54:34 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU AND
10:54:38 THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN BRINGING IN THIS TO
10:54:38 FRUITION.
10:54:41 THIS IS A HUGE WIN THAT WILL SERVE GENERATIONS OF
10:54:42 PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY.
10:54:45 I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO THIS COMMUNITY CENTER.
10:54:47 THIS IS HISTORIC.
10:54:48 SUCH A LARGE INVESTMENT.
10:54:49 BUT I HAVE TO ASK.
10:54:52 WHY DO WE CONTINUE FIGHTING BECAUSE LAST MEETING WAS
10:54:56 RUMORS AND MISINFORMATION AND ALL THIS PUBLIC COMMENT
10:54:58 FOR WRONG INFORMATION OUT THERE.
10:55:01 SO I AM GLAD THAT IS MOVING FORWARD AND GLAD YOU ARE
10:55:01 DOING THIS.
10:55:03 THIS WILL SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND BEYOND.
10:55:06 SO I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
10:55:08 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND.
10:55:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: A MOTION BY MR. MANISCALCO.
10:55:12 SECOND BY MR. MIRANDA.
10:55:13 ANY DISCUSSION?
10:55:17 MR. CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
10:55:19 >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT, MR. GUDES.
10:55:22 SINCE THIS IS THE DISTRICT AREA.
10:55:24 I WOULDN'T WANT TO VOTE ON THIS WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT
10:55:26 AND BECAUSE OF SUNSHINE WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK
10:55:30 OUTSIDE THIS ROOM SO I WANTED YOUR FEEDBACK.
10:55:33 THANKS TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ASKED US TO SUPPORT
10:55:36 FAIR OAKS GOING BACK YEAR AND A HALF TO TWO YEARS AND
10:55:43 EVERYBODY ELSE WHO SET UP THE MEETINGS AND WE LISTENED
10:55:45 TO A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO WANTED US TO
10:55:50 WHERE HE BUILD AND MAKE FAIR OAKS EVEN BETTER.
10:55:53 >>LUIS VIERA: CAN I SAY ONE MORE THING -- GIVE IT TO
10:55:53 THE TRIAL LAWYER HERE.
10:55:58 BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY CONSISTENT WITH THE IDEA THAT WE
10:56:02 ALL SUPPORT AND REPRESENT THE ENTIRE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:56:06 I HAD FOLKS IN MY DISTRICT GO THAT IS A MIGHTY BIG
10:56:09 CHUNK OF CHANGE FOR THAT PART OF THE CITY.
10:56:12 I STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE THIS SUPPORTS ALL OF
10:56:14 THE CITY OF TAMPA AND NUMBER TWO, THIS SUPPORTS THE
10:56:18 IDEA THAT NORTH TAMPA, NEW TAMPA, EAST TAMPA, SOUTH
10:56:22 TAMPA, ALL THE WAY FROM BAYSHORE.
10:56:25 AND EAST TAMPA HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND.
10:56:26 LEFT BEHIND FOR TOO LONG.
10:56:31 IT HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND FOR TOO LONG IN SO MANY WAYS.
10:56:34 AND THIS IS SOMETHING WHEN YOU HELP EAST TAMPA IN AREAS
10:56:38 THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT AND HOW, RIGHT, CATCH UP TO WHERE
10:56:41 THEY SHOULD BE -- I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT SUBSIDY.
10:56:42 THIS ISN'T LUXURY.
10:56:44 THIS IS BASIC EQUITY.
10:56:45 THIS IS BASIC.
10:56:48 IT COMES DOWN DIGNITY AND ARE THE FOR THE CITY OF
10:56:49 TAMPA.
10:56:52 FOLKS AREN'T ASKING FOR A TAJ MAHAL.
10:56:56 THEY ARE ASKING FOR A SIMPLE CENTER TO ALLOW SENIORS TO
10:56:59 BE ABLE TO GROW AND ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO ENGAGE IN
10:57:02 RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND REALLY GOOD THING FOR ALL
10:57:08 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA, BECAUSE AS THE CITY ITS
10:57:11 HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, THAT SPEAKS A LOT
10:57:15 FOR THE MORAL NATURE AND MORAL COMPASS OF THE CITY.
10:57:18 YOU LOOK AT THE GREATNESS NOT IN THE WEALTHY AREA, IT
10:57:22 IS IN HOW IT TREATS THE AREAS THAT ARE HISTORICALLY
10:57:23 LEFT BEHIND.
10:57:28 SO ALL OF THE CITY OF TAMPA IS HITTING A 1988 KIRK
10:57:31 GIBSON SERIES HOME RUN.
10:57:32 WELL-DONE, SIR.
10:57:33 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
10:57:36 MISS VAN LOAN, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE DESIGNS WHEN WE
10:57:39 APPROVE, WITH YOU I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T
10:57:41 STEREOTYPE THAT IS FAIR OAKS.
10:57:44 THIS IS A REGIONAL PROJECT FOR ALL OF EAST TAMPA.
10:57:51 AND IN THE FUTURE THOSE NAMES WILL BE NAMED SOMETHING
10:57:54 DIFFERENT TO KEEP CONFUSION AND DIVISION IN MY
10:57:54 DISTRICT.
10:57:58 I PREFER THE IDEA OF THIS PROJECT BE KNOWN AS EAST
10:58:02 TAMPA REGIONAL PROJECT THAN SAYING FAIR OAKS.
10:58:05 SENIORS AN OTHER PEOPLE ARE GETTING UPSET SAYING THEY
10:58:07 DIDN'T GET WHAT THEY WANT WHICH IS NOT TRUE.
10:58:10 EVERYBODY IS GETTING WHAT THEY WANTED AND MAKE IT CLEAR
10:58:16 -- STOP SAYING FAIR OAKS AND TALK ABOUT A BIGGER I
10:58:17 SHALL BUT.
10:58:19 A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
10:58:22 MR. MANISCALCO AND MR. MIRANDA SECONDED IT.
10:58:23 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
10:58:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:58:26 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES,
10:58:27 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
10:58:28 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
10:58:29 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
10:58:33 >>CLERK: MOTION CARRY WITH DINGFELDER BEING ABSENT AT
10:58:36 VOTE.
10:58:38 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MISS VAN LOAN FOR YOUR
10:58:39 UPDATES.
10:58:40 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: ONE LAST ITEM.
10:58:43 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I BELIEVE MR. DINGFELDER HAS A
10:58:44 THUMBS UP.
10:58:46 MAYBE NO VIDEO, BUT I AM LOOKING FOR HIM AND I THINK
10:58:48 THAT THUMBS UP MEANS YES.
10:58:49 >>ORLANDO GUDES: OKAY.
10:58:51 HE IS NOT ON OUR SCREEN, SIR.
10:58:54 BUT I SEE HIS THUMBS UP.
10:58:56 SO I DON'T HAVE HIM ON THE SCREEN.
10:58:57 SO HOW ARE YOU DOING, SIR.
10:58:58 MISS VAN LOAN.
10:59:00 SHE IS NOT FINISHED.
10:59:02 >>MICHELLE VAN LOAN: FROM NEW BUSINESS AS WE MENTIONED
10:59:06 EARLIER, THE EAST TAMPA CAC IS REQUESTING THAT WE
10:59:09 REQUIRE DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE TO ONLY HAVE TO ATTEND
10:59:11 ONE SET OF COUNSELING CLASSES.
10:59:14 THE HOUSING DIVISION IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE PROVIDING
10:59:18 THAT ADDITIONAL SET THROUGH LATASHA HICKS.
10:59:26 SO WITH -- AND HVD HAVE BEEN AGREED TO WORK WITH US SO
10:59:30 THAT THE COUNSELING SERVICES ARE RESPONSIVE AND IN THE
10:59:34 PROCESS OF HIRING HOUSING COUNSELORS TO PROVIDE THAT
10:59:38 HANDS-ON SERVICE TO APPLICANTS THAT COME FORWARD AND
10:59:40 MAKE SURE THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITY THAT ARE AFFORDED
10:59:42 THROUGH THE VARIOUS HOUSING PROGRAMS.
10:59:47 SO WE ARE ASKING THAT WE ONLY REQUIRE ONE SET OF
10:59:47 HOUSING SERVICES.
10:59:52 IF YOU DO NOT APPROVE THAT WE WILL GO OUT TO A RFP TO
10:59:58 PROVIDE A THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER FOR A ADDITIONAL SET OF
11:00:00 CLASSES.
11:00:01 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE FOR CHANGING
11:00:03 YOUR CONCEPT.
11:00:06 FOR ME TO SUPPORT THIS ITEM, YOU WANT THE MISSING LINK
11:00:07 IN THE PROCESS.
11:00:10 THAT IS VERY KEY FOR SUCCESS.
11:00:12 NO NEED TO BE GOING TO A CLASS.
11:00:16 AND AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW, NOBODY THERE TO HELP ME
11:00:18 MOVE FORWARD OR I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MOVE FORWARD.
11:00:22 JUST GOING TO A CLASS TO LEARN A FEW THINGS AND I DON'T
11:00:23 HAVE THAT BALANCE.
