10:53:55 AND INCENTIVE PROGRAM BY THE STATE.
10:53:56 INSTEAD OF PULLING THEM, I ASKED ROB ROSNER IF COULD YOU
10:53:57 QUICKLY MAKE A FEW STATEMENTS BEFORE WE GO TO CONSENT AGENDA
10:53:59 SO HE CAN JUST EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC WHAT WE ARE APPROVING.
10:54:00 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WHICH ITEM WAS THAT, SIR?
10:54:01 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHY DON'T WE HONOR THEM -- EXCUSE ME.
10:54:02 >> WE CAN DO THAT.
10:54:02 >>BILL CARLSON: IT'S 31 AND 32.
10:54:03 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: AND I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE
10:54:05 CONTINUANCE AS FAR AS ROUTINE, BUT THIS HAS BEEN HANGING ON
10:54:06 FOR AT LEAST TWO OR THREE WEEKS NOW,
10:54:07 AND WE KICK THE CAN SO MUCH AND IT MAKES NO NOISE ANYMORE.
10:54:08 SO I WOULD LIKE TO BRING IT TO AN END SOMEHOW.
10:54:10 MAYBE WE CAN HAVE THE ADMINISTRATION OR FIND OUT WHAT THEY
10:54:11 ARE DOING REGARDING THIS, OR MAYBE NOT.
10:54:12 BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND SOME CLOSURE TO THIS THING.
10:54:13 THE PUBLIC ON BOTH SIDES ARE CALLING US DAILY, AND ALL OF US
10:54:14 HAVE RECEIVED THOSE CALLS, AND I HAVE NOT MET WITH EITHER
10:54:16 ONE, AND I JUST WANT TO SOMEHOW FINALIZE THIS.
10:54:17 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I TOTALLY AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
10:54:18 THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON TOO LONG.
10:54:19 WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ON THIS.
10:54:20 NUMBER 8.
10:54:20 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY, SINCE WE HAVE DISCUSSION TO BE
10:54:21 HAD ON NUMBER 8, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO WHEN WE GET TO 8,
10:54:23 IF THAT'S THE CASE, MAKE A MOTION, WE ARE GOING TO END THIS,
10:54:24 OR CONTINUE THIS, OR CONTINUE DISCUSSION.
10:54:25 >>BILL CARLSON: COULD I MAKE A QUICK COMMENT?
10:54:26 TWO NEW PIECES OF INFORMATION POPPED UP THIS WEEK.
10:54:27 ONE IS THAT ALTHOUGH APPARENTLY ONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
10:54:28 PEOPLE SAID THIS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, THE MAYOR SAID THIS
10:54:29 WEEK, OR COMMENTS CERTAINLY THIS WEEK, THE MAYOR IS AGAINST
10:54:31 IT, AND I LEARNED YESTERDAY THAT THE MAYOR HAS A MEETING
10:54:32 WITH STAFF AND THE SOUTH OF GANDY NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS ON
10:54:33 FRIDAY, THAT I LEARNED ABOUT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS.
10:54:34 SO I PRESUME THAT THAT IS TO TRY TO FIND A SOLUTION.
10:54:35 WHAT THE SOUTH OF GANDY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO IS
10:54:36 FIND A SOLUTION FOR SOUTH OF GANDY, NOT CITY-WIDE.
10:54:38 ALTHOUGH I THINK THEY WOULD ASK US TO VOTE FOR THIS, THE
10:54:39 PROBLEM IS THAT THEY DID NOT ASK US FOR SOMETHING THAT'S NOT
10:54:40 SOUTH OF GANDY, AND EVERY EXPERT I TALK TO SAID THERE ARE
10:54:41 SOLUTIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DISCUSSED YET.
10:54:42 AND SINCE THE MAYOR IS LEADING WITH THE SOUTH OF GANDY
10:54:44 LEADERS ON FRIDAY ANYWAY, I WAS NOT INVITED TO THAT MEETING,
10:54:45 BY THE WAY, BY ANYBODY, BUT THERE IS A MEETING ON FRIDAY,
10:54:46 AND I PRESUME THAT THEY WILL BE COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION
10:54:48 THAT THEY WILL BE PRESENTING TO US, SO WHY WOULD WE APPROVE
10:54:49 A SOLUTION WHEN THEY ARE WORKING ON A BETTER ONE?
10:54:50 THANK YOU.
10:54:50 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'M SORRY TO ASK THIS QUESTION, BUT IS IT
10:54:51 COUNCIL'S INTENTION TO HOLD DISCUSSION RATHER THAN CUT IT
10:54:52 SHORT FOR THE PURPOSES OF GETTING TO THE ATU, IF YOU CAN
10:54:54 WAIT TO ITEM 8?
10:54:54 OTHERWISE, YOU HAVE TO INVEST THE TIME NOW TO HEAR THE --
10:54:56 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WAIT FOR NUMBER 8 AND THEN THE MAYOR IS
10:54:57 HAVING A MEETING, MAYBE WE SHOULD WAIT.
10:54:58 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WITH REGARD TO ANY OTHER CHANGES,
10:54:59 ADDITIONS, SUBSTITUTIONS --
10:54:59 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYBODY IN REFERENCE TO THE STAFF REPORTS,
10:55:00 RELEASE ANYBODY, HAVE THE GENTLEMAN GO THROUGH THE LIST OF
10:55:01 69 AND 78?
10:55:02 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, WITH REGARD TO THE STAFF
10:55:03 REPORTS AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS, ANY CONFERENCE WITH THE
10:55:04 CHIEF OF STAFF, HE DOES ASK COUNCIL TO REVIEW THOSE ITEMS,
10:55:05 NUMBER 69 TODAY THROUGH 78, TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY THAT DO
10:55:07 REQUIRE STAFF TO BE PRESENT, AND IF THE REPORTS ARE
10:55:08 SUFFICIENT, TO RELEASE THE ADMINISTRATION STAFF MEMBERS SO
10:55:09 THEY CAN GET BACK TO THEIR DAY JOB, AND OTHERWISE, IF THERE
10:55:10 ARE THINGS THAT COUNCIL DOES WISH TO HAVE STAFF APPEAR ON,
10:55:11 TO BE ABLE TO PUT THE ADMINISTRATION ON NOTICE, SO THE STAFF
10:55:13 REPORT AT 1:30, THEY WILL BE STANDING BY.
10:55:14 >>BILL CARLSON: I THINK WE OUGHT TO RECEIVE AND FILE NUMBER
10:55:15 76.
10:55:15 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SECOND BY MR. MANISCALCO.
10:55:16 ALL IN FAVOR?
10:55:16 ANY DISCUSSION?
10:55:17 MOTION PASSES.
10:55:17 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER CAN GO FIRST.
10:55:18 YOU KNOW WHAT, I GUESS I WILL GO FIRST.
10:55:19 FOR 75 I DON'T NEED ANYBODY HERE.
10:55:20 WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT BUT I DON'T NEED ANYONE HERE FOR THAT.
10:55:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: 75.
10:55:22 YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
10:55:22 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT'S ON NUMBER 75.
10:55:23 THANK YOU.
10:55:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IN REGARD TO ITEM NUMBER 70, WE STARTED
10:55:25 A CONVERSATION THIS WEEK.
10:55:25 I APPRECIATE HER TIME.
10:55:26 I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO COMPLETELY GET BACK TO HER, SO I
10:55:27 WOULD ASK FOR A ONE-MONTH CONTINUANCE ON ITEM NUMBER 70, AND
10:55:29 HOPEFULLY WE CAN WRAP THAT UP AND BRING THE ORDINANCE TO
10:55:30 COUNCIL AT THAT TIME.
10:55:30 >> I'LL SECOND THAT.
10:55:30 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SECOND BY MR. VIERA.
10:55:31 YOU ARE RECOGNIZED, MR. SHELBY.
10:55:32 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:55:32 THE DATE THEN WOULD BE JUNE 3rd AT STAFF REPORTS AND
10:55:34 UNFINISHED BUSINESS?
10:55:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR.
10:55:34 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MR. DINGFELDER.
10:55:35 I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THAT TO A CLOSE.
10:55:36 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND A VOTE ON THAT, PLEASE, SIR.
10:55:37 >> MOTION BY MR. DINGFELDER.
10:55:38 I THINK IT WAS SECONDED BY MR. VIERA.
10:55:39 ALL IN FAVOR?
10:55:39 ITEM NUMBER 70.
10:55:40 ALL IN FAVOR?
10:55:40 ANY OPPOSED?
10:55:40 MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
10:55:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, THE OTHER ITEM IS ITEM 18.
10:55:42 I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BRINGING THIS FORWARD BY MEMO YESTERDAY.
10:55:43 I WOULD LIKE TO CARRY THIS OVER FOR TWO WEEKS TO HAVE A
10:55:44 CHANCE TO DISCUSS THIS ITEM WITH STAFF.
10:55:45 I DON'T NEED A LOT OF TIME BUT I DO NEED TO GO OFFLINE WITH
10:55:47 THEM ON ITEM 18.
10:55:47 SO I MOVE TO CONTINUE THAT FOR TWO WEEKS.
10:55:48 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN, THAT BEING ON THE
10:55:49 CONSENT DOCKET, MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE IF THE STAFF IS
10:55:51 AVAILABLE, IF THERE'S AN ISSUE THAT THEY NEED TO COMMENT TO
10:55:52 BRING TO STAFF'S ATTENTION BEFORE THERE IS A MOTION VOTED
10:55:53 ON, TO GET STAFF INPUT WITH REGARD TO THAT ITEM.
10:55:54 ULTIMATELY IT'S COUNCIL'S DECISION, OF COURSE.
10:55:55 BUT A REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TIME
10:55:57 SENSITIVE BUT NORM LIP AS A COURTESY.
10:55:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HOW ABOUT A DIFFERENT ROUTE?
10:55:58 WHY DON'T WE CONTINUE IT FOR NOW, AND IF THEY HAVE CONCERN
10:56:00 WITH THAT, THEY CAN LET ME KNOW AND I WILL BRING IT BACK
10:56:01 LATER IN THE MEETING.
10:56:01 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THEN THE MOTION WOULD BE THEN TO CONTINUE
10:56:02 IT FOR --
10:56:03 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: TWO WEEKS.
10:56:03 >>THE CLERK: MAY 20th.
10:56:03 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION MADE BY MR. DINGFELDER.
10:56:04 SECOND BY MR. MANISCALCO.
10:56:05 >>LUIS VIERA: I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO ANYTHING BEFORE ATU.
10:56:06 I KNOW THEY ARE WAITING FOR US.
10:56:07 MY ONLY ISSUE WITH THIS, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH A
10:56:08 CONTINUANCE.
10:56:09 I'M SURE.
10:56:09 I JUST WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING FROM STAFF.
10:56:10 I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
10:56:11 IS THERE ANY WAY, MR. SHELBY, THAT WE CAN CONTINUE IT NOW,
10:56:12 AGAIN OUT OF DEFERENCE TO COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER?
10:56:13 AND IF THEY WANT TO THE BE BROUGHT UP, WE CAN BRING IT BACK
10:56:15 ON THE AGENDA IF NEED BE?
10:56:15 >> ABSOLUTELY.
10:56:15 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:56:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY MR. DINGFELDER.
10:56:17 SECOND BY MR. MANISCALCO.
10:56:17 ALL IN FAVOR?
10:56:18 ANY OPPOSED?
10:56:18 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
10:56:18 >> CHAIRMAN GUDES?

10:56:27 WE HAVE TO GET THESE ATU FOLKS OUT OF HERE.
10:56:28 THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING.

10:58:42 APPRECIATION TO JAMES $100 GIFT CARD.
10:58:43 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:58:44 MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
10:58:44 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JAMES, FIRST OFF, I WANT TO THANK
10:58:45 CHAIRMAN GUDES AND MR. SIMON FOR DOING THIS AWARD ON A
10:58:47 REGULAR BASIS.
10:58:47 IT'S IMPORTANT THAT ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES SEE THAT WE
10:58:48 APPRECIATE THEIR HARD WORK.
10:58:49 JAMES, YOU HAVE A GROUP OF FOLKS BEHIND YOU.
10:58:50 YOUR WORK MATES BACK THERE, INCLUDING MR. BAIRD.
10:58:51 AND WE HAVE ALL WORKED CLOSELY WITH MR. BAIRD FOR MANY
10:58:52 YEARS.
10:58:52 AND IF MR. BAIRD SAYS YOU ARE A GOOD GUY AND HE'S STANDING
10:58:53 THERE SHAKING HIS HEAD, THEN WE KNOW YOU ARE A GOOD GUY AND
10:58:55 WE APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK.
10:58:55 THANK YOU.
10:58:56 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
10:58:56 WE MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 5.
10:58:57 THANKS FOR COMING.
10:58:57 >> THANK YOU.
10:58:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, I WANT TO CLARIFY IN
10:58:59 REGARD TO STAFF REPORTS THE ONES WE ARE RELEASING.
10:59:00 IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING.
10:59:01 SO BASICALLY, ARE WE SAYING THAT IF THEY GAVE US A MEMO,
10:59:03 THAT THAT'S ADEQUATE AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO HEAR FROM THEM?
10:59:04 WHAT ARE WE SAYING HERE?
10:59:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT?
10:59:06 I THINK THAT'S A DISCUSSION WE MAY HAVE LATER ON DOWN THE
10:59:07 LINE WITH CHIEF OF STAFF IN REFERENCE TO SOME HOUSE CLEANING
10:59:08 THINGS.
10:59:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SPECIFICALLY, I THOUGHT -- THEY ARE ALL
10:59:09 IMPORTANT ISSUES.
10:59:10 I BROUGHT UP AN IMPORTANT ISSUE ON ITEM 74 IN RELATION TO AN
10:59:11 IMPACT FEE TO HELP SUPPORT POLICE AND FIRE.
10:59:12 AND WE GOT TWO MEMOS BACK BUT I THINK A DISCUSSION ON THAT
10:59:14 WOULD BE GOOD.
10:59:14 I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE IN THAT.
10:59:15 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY THE
10:59:16 POINT THAT IF THERE ARE MEMOS THAT ARE RECEIVED, IT SAYS TO
10:59:17 APPEAR AND PROVIDE A REPORT.
10:59:18 BUT IF COUNCIL SHOULD FEEL THAT THE REPORT SUFFICES, AND YOU
10:59:19 HAVE CERTAINLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO RELEASE THE ADMINISTRATION
10:59:20 FROM HAVING TO SPEAK AT STAFF REPORTS SEWING THAT WILL NOT
10:59:21 BE NECESSARY FOR DISCUSSION AT COUNCIL'S DETERMINATION.
10:59:22 IN REGARD TO, LET'S SAY, NUMBER 74, WHAT COUNCILMEMBER
10:59:23 DINGFELDER SAID WAS REQUEST THAT STAFF BE PRESENT FOR THE
10:59:24 1:30 STAFF REPORTS TO DISCUSS ITEM 74.
10:59:25 THAT'S APPROPRIATE.
10:59:26 FOR INSTANCE, THERE ARE SOME, FOR INSTANCE, NUMBER 75 WITH
10:59:27 THE ROLE IS JUST TO PROVIDE A REPORT, THAT IS APPROPRIATE TO
10:59:28 MAKE IT CLEAR TO RELEASE THE ADMINISTRATOR FROM HAVING TO BE
10:59:29 ONLINE FOR ITEM 75 AND THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE DONE PREVIOUSLY.
10:59:31 WITH REGARD, LET'S SAY, TO NUMBER 77, THAT'S TO INVESTIGATE
10:59:32 AND REPORT.
10:59:32 YOU DID HAVE A MEMORANDUM TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
10:59:33 THE QUESTION IS WHETHER COUNCIL WANTS MR. PEREZ OR A MEMBER
10:59:34 OF THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO BE HERE FOR A REPORT ON NUMBER
10:59:35 77.
10:59:36 IF THAT REPORT SUFFICES, TO RELEASE THE ADMINISTRATION AND
10:59:37 THE STAFF FROM HAVING TO BE ON CALL.
10:59:38 THE SAME THING WITH NUMBER 78.
10:59:39 NUMBER 78 IS A REPORT, AND THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO COUNCIL.
10:59:40 THE QUESTION IS WHETHER YOU WANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY HERE ON
10:59:41 NUMBER 78.
10:59:41 SO I UNDERSTAND COUNCIL, AND I HAVE HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY,
10:59:42 AND MR. CHAIRMAN, CERTAINLY WE'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
10:59:43 SPEAK WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF BUT THE CHIEF OF STAFF HAS
10:59:45 COMMUNICATED THAT THE TIME THAT YOU INVEST UPFRONT IN GIVING
10:59:46 DIRECTION TO COUNCIL AS TO THEIR TIME REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR
10:59:47 WILL CERTAINLY AID IN THEIR EFFICIENCY, AND IT'S VERY MUCH
10:59:48 APPRECIATED BY THE ADMINISTRATION FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO LOOK
10:59:49 THROUGH YOUR STAFF REPORTS AND DETERMINE WHICH YOU FEEL AS A
10:59:50 COUNCIL ARE NECESSARY FOR STAFF TO BE HERE.
10:59:51 AND OF COURSE TODAY THERE ARE A LOT OF STAFF REPORTS,
10:59:52 COUNCIL, AND I RECOGNIZE THAT.
10:59:53 THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS ON THE AGENDA FOR YOU TO LOOK
10:59:54 THROUGH.
10:59:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: COULD I MAKE A SUGGESTION?
10:59:55 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU ARE RECOGNIZED, SIR.
10:00:35 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MAYBE WHEN WE ARE DOING THE AGENDA
10:00:39 REVIEW IN THE BEGINNING, MAYBE, MR. CHAIRMAN, MIGHT WANT TO
10:00:43 JUMP TO THE STAFF REPORTS AND WALK THROUGH EACH ONE, AND
10:00:46 JUST SAY, RELEASE, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY OBJECTION, SPEAK UP,
10:00:50 THIS ONE IS RELEASED, THIS ONE STAYS, THIS ONE IS RELEASED,
10:00:54 AND THAT WAY EACH COUNCIL PERSON CAN SPEAK UP TO EACH ONE.
10:00:57 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD SUGGESTION,
10:01:00 MR. DINGFELDER.
10:01:01 I WILL GIVE TO THE MR. SHELBY AND IS THE T STAFF.
10:01:04 FORGIVE ME, 78, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WAS JUST A REPORT.
10:01:07 I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE AN APPEARANCE BECAUSE I DID -- I HAD
10:01:10 A CONVERSATION WITH HR ABOUT 78.
10:01:13 AND I THOUGHT COUNCIL TO DETERMINE AT WELL.
10:01:20 I KIND OF THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE HERE AND I COULD CHIME IN ON
10:01:24 78 AS WELL.
10:01:25 SO I GET YOUR POINT.
10:01:28 MR. SHELBY AND MYSELF WILL DISCUSS THOSE ISSUES BECAUSE I
10:01:31 THINK MR. DINGFELDER MAKES A GOOD POINT BECAUSE THINGS DO
10:01:34 COME UP ALONG THE WAY.
10:01:36 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU RAISE ALSO A VERY
10:01:39 INTERESTING REPORT.
10:01:40 IF THERE IS A WRITTEN REPORT BUT THE REPORT RAISES
10:01:44 QUESTIONS, DURING YOUR APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA YOU COULD
10:01:46 STILL SAY THAT YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, THAT YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO
10:01:49 ANSWER OR HAVE THE STAFF ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE
10:01:51 OF THE MEETING, SO YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE THEM THERE.
10:01:54 BUT IF YOU WANT THEM TO APPEAR DURING THE APPROPRIATE
10:01:56 AGENDA, SAY YES, WE HAVE A REPORT THAT'S BEEN DISTRIBUTED, I
10:02:00 DO REQUEST OR COUNCIL DOES REQUEST STAFF TO BE PRESENT AT
10:02:06 STAFF REPORTS IF THAT'S COUNCIL'S PLEASURE.
10:02:09 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I BELIEVE ON 76, I BELIEVE SHOULD BE ABLE
10:02:13 TO ADDRESS 78 AS WELL.
10:02:16 >>MARTIN SHELBY: 76 WAS ALREADY RECEIVED BY MOTION.
10:02:18 >>ORLANDO GUDES: CORRECT.
10:02:20 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR PLEASURE IS WITH
10:02:23 REGARD TO 78.
10:02:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WOULD LIKE TO ACTUALLY HEAR THE REPORT
10:02:28 SO COUNCIL CAN REALLY GET A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF 78.
10:02:31 AND I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT AND I APOLOGIZE TO STAFF FOR THAT.
10:02:34 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO IT IS COUNCIL'S PLEASURE, BY UNANIMOUS
10:02:38 CONSENT, AND WITH THE ADMINISTRATION HOPEFULLY LISTENING, TO
10:02:41 HAVE STAFF PRESENT FOR NUMBER 78 TO DISCUSS?
10:02:45 IS THAT YOUR INTENTION?
10:02:47 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR.
10:02:49 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
10:02:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO YOU WANT TO WALK THROUGH EACH ONE AND
10:02:54 SEE IF ANYBODY WANTS TO PULL IT?
10:02:56 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
10:02:58 WE CAN DO THAT NOW.
10:03:02 ITEM 70.
10:03:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY: CONTINUE TO JUNE 3rd.
10:03:08 WITH REGARD TO THE ADMINISTRATION UPDATE AND AGENDA REVIEW
10:03:10 OF THE CITY CLERK AND CHIEF OF STAFF AND THE LEGAL
10:03:12 DEPARTMENT YESTERDAY, WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO
10:03:14 ADMINISTRATION UPDATE ON NUMBER 69.
10:03:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: 71, A MOTION TO CONTINUE.
10:03:26 NO QUESTION ON THAT.
10:03:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN.
10:03:30 DO YOU WANT TO TAKE UP THAT MEMORANDUM AND TAKE IT OFF THE
10:03:32 AGENDA?
10:03:36 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WILL MOVE 71 AND 72.
10:03:41 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CARLSON SECONDED.
10:03:43 ALL IN FAVOR?
10:03:44 ANY OPPOSED?
10:03:45 MOTION CARRIED.
10:03:50 73?
10:03:51 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'M OKAY FOR THAT TO GO AWAY.
10:03:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SO WE CAN RELEASE ON 73.
10:04:01 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU CAN DO A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
10:04:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY DINGFELDER, SECOND BY MIRANDA.
10:04:10 MOTION CARRIED.
10:04:10 >>MARTIN SHELBY: 73 IS RELEASED.
10:04:13 THANK YOU.
10:04:13 >>ORLANDO GUDES: 74 IS APPEARING.
10:04:16 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: 74 I WOULD LIKE US ALL TO TALK ABOUT IT.
10:04:22 >>MARTIN SHELBY: 75.
10:04:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WAS RELEASED.
10:04:29 AM I CORRECT, MADAM CLERK?
10:04:31 >>ORLANDO GUDES: 74, SATISFIED WITH THE REPORT.
10:04:38 75.
10:04:38 >> [OFF MICROPHONE] IF I COULD DISCUSS --
10:04:57 >>LUIS VIERA: I MAY WANT TO SAY SOME REMARKS ON IT BUT I
10:04:59 DON'T NEED ANYBODY FROM STAFF ON IT.
10:05:01 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION TO WITHDRAW?
10:05:07 76.
10:05:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: 76 IS GONE.
10:05:12 76 IS GONE.
10:05:13 77.
10:05:14 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I BELIEVE THAT WAS MR. MANISCALCO.
10:05:26 MOTION.
10:05:27 I DO WANT A REPORT, MR. MANISCALCO?
10:05:29 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I BELIEVE THAT MR. MANISCALCO IS CORRECT
10:05:35 ON THESE ISSUES.
10:05:36 NOT ONLY IN THAT AREA THAT HE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED IN THIS
10:05:39 REPORT, THIS INVESTIGATION AND REPORT, BUT THE WHOLE CITY OF
10:05:43 TAMPA HAS COME TO GRIPS WITH WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH
10:05:46 THE ILLEGAL TRUCKS, AND I DON'T MEAN TRUCKS THAT ARE
10:05:51 F-150s, I MEAN SEMI, TWO AND A HALF TONS, THAT ARE PARKED
10:05:58 EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY, AND THEY ARE LEAVING THEM THERE FROM
10:06:04 FRIDAY NIGHT TO MONDAY MORNING.
10:06:05 AND SOME KID IS GOING TO GET KILLED UNEXPECTEDLY BECAUSE THE
10:06:09 TRAFFIC CAN'T SEE THEM, COME UP BEHIND ONE OF THOSE TRUCKS,
10:06:12 THEY ARE PARKED THERE ON CITY ROAD, CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY, AND
10:06:15 YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO STOP, AND THE FAMILIES
10:06:18 OF BOTH SIDES, THOSE THAT ARE DECEASED AND THOSE THAT DID,
10:06:22 THE ACT OF NOT TRYING TO KILL ANYONE, BUT IT'S AN ACT TWO
10:06:26 FAMILIES DON'T GET HURT, AND HE'S 100% IN DOING THIS.
10:06:31 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'M SORRY, I CAN'T SEE MR. MANISCALCO FROM
10:06:36 WHERE I AM.
10:06:36 BUT IF IT'S COUNCIL'S INTENTION TO WANT TO DISCUSS THIS
10:06:39 BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE SUNSHINE, THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
10:06:42 TO YOU HEAR FROM EACH OTHER.
10:06:43 IF YOU WANT STAFF PRESENT FOR NUMBER 77 YOU CAN DO THAT WHEN
10:06:46 YOU DISCUSS IT.
10:06:47 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WOULD LIKE THAT JUST SO THE PUBLIC IS
10:06:52 CLEAR THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT ENFORCEMENT FOR THESE VEHICLES.
10:06:56 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA SAID IT ALL.
10:06:59 SUNDAY MORNING, I GET A PHONE CALL ABOUT A TRACTOR TRAILER
10:07:02 PARKING THAT REGULARLY PARKS IN THIS GENTLEMAN'S PARKING LOT
10:07:06 ON HIS PROPERTY, TEARING UP HIS PARKING LOT, BLOCKING THE
10:07:10 STOP SIGN, BLOCKING VISIBILITY, WHERE AGAIN SOMEONE IS GOING
10:07:13 TO GET KILLED.
10:07:14 THAT'S THE NEWEST COMPLAINT.
10:07:15 OTHER TIMES THEY ARE BLOCKING SIDEWALKS.
10:07:17 I HAVE PEOPLE COMPLAINING, ADA ACCESSIBILITY WHERE THE
10:07:21 SIDEWALK IS THERE, BUT THESE VEHICLES ARE PARKING ON THE
10:07:23 RIGHT-OF-WAY AND BLOCKING EVERYTHING, MEANING THAT THEY HAVE
10:07:26 TO TAKE THEIR MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIRS OUT INTO THE STREET,
10:07:29 WHICH POSES A HAZARD.
10:07:31 CHILDREN INVOLVED.
10:07:32 PEOPLE ON BICYCLES.
10:07:33 WHATEVER IT IS.
10:07:36 I WOULD LIKE STAFF HERE JUST SO WE GET CLARITY FOR THE
10:07:39 PUBLIC TO KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING COMPLAINTS.
10:07:41 I KNOW COUNCILMAN MIRANDA HAS BEEN RECEIVING COMPLAINTS FOR
10:07:44 YEARS.
10:07:44 AND WE WANT THE PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THERE IS ENFORCEMENT
10:07:47 COMING, VIA TPD, VIA CODE ENFORCEMENT WHERE WE ARE DOING
10:07:54 SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
10:07:55 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT.
10:07:58 AND I HAVE ALREADY COMMENTED ON 78.
10:08:00 I THINK, MR. SHELBY, IN IT FUTURE, THESE STAFF REPORTS, WE
10:08:07 NEED TO GO DOWN EACH ONE AND MAKE SURE THAT THE STAFF,
10:08:10 BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE MISS THINGS, AND WE DON'T WANT TO DO
10:08:13 THAT.
10:08:14 I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA WE GO DOWN THE STAFF REPORTS FIRST
10:08:23 WE MADE THE CORRECTIONS.
10:08:25 WE GO TO ITEM 5.
10:08:27 >>SHIRLEY FOXX-KNOWLES: CITY CLERK, REGARDING ITEM NUMBER
10:08:38 5.
10:08:38 AS IT RELATES TO EQUAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY ADVISORY
10:08:42 COMMISSION, THIS ITEM WAS CONTINUED REGARDING THE TERM, AND
10:08:51 I BELIEVE MR. HART AND MR. SHELBY, THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN
10:08:59 TALKING, SO I WANT TO REPORT?
10:09:02 >>MARTIN SHELBY: COUNCIL, I DISTRIBUTED TO YOU A
10:09:04 COMMUNICATION THAT I HAD WITH MR. GREG HART, THE McOF THE
10:09:09 EQUAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY OFFICE, AND HE DOES CONFIRM THAT
10:09:13 THE EBOAC HAVE BEEN MEETING SINCE AUGUST WHEN THEY
10:09:18 RECONVENED, AND HAVE BEEN MEETING VIRTUALLY AND HAVE BEEN
10:09:22 MEETING CONSISTENTLY.
10:09:23 SO WITH THAT HE STATED THAT THEIR INITIAL APPOINTMENT
10:09:27 EXPIRED ON AUGUST 23rd OF 2020, AND HENCE THEIR
10:09:33 APPOINTMENTS WILL EXPIRE IN AUGUST OF 2022 AND CONSISTENT
10:09:36 WITH THAT DIRECTION, I HAVE PREPARED A RESOLUTION FOR
10:09:40 COUNCIL'S APPROVAL, WHICH IS RETROACTIVE TO AUGUST 23rd
10:09:46 OF 2020.
10:09:48 SO IF COUNCIL WISHES TO MOVE THE RESOLUTION, THAT WOULD
10:09:53 PRESENT IT FOR THE CHAIRMAN'S SIGNATURE.
10:09:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SO MOVED.
10:09:59 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANISCALCO SECONDS IT.
10:10:02 ALL IN FAVOR?
10:10:02 OPPOSED?
10:10:03 MOTION CARRIED.
10:10:04 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU AGAIN FOR COUNCILMAN MIRANDA FOR
10:10:06 BRINGING THIS ISSUE TO CLARITY.
10:10:07 THANK YOU.
10:10:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ITEM NUMBER 6.
10:10:11 >>SHIRLEY FOXX-KNOWLES: [OFF MICROPHONE]
10:10:35 >> MOVE TO APPROVE.
10:10:37 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANISCALCO MOVED.
10:10:39 MR. CITRO SECONDS.
10:10:42 ALL IN FAVOR?
10:10:43 MOTION CARRIED.
10:10:44 >>SHIRLEY FOXX-KNOWLES: ITEM NUMBER 7.
10:10:46 WE HAVE ANOTHER REAPPOINTMENT ON CODE ENFORCEMENT/PUBLIC
10:10:53 NUISANCE ABATEMENT BOARD FOR JASON VALKENBURG LOOKING TO BE
10:10:59 REAPPOINTED GO MOVED BY CITRO, SECOND BY MIRANDA.
10:11:03 ALL IN FAVOR?
10:11:04 ANY OPPOSED?
10:11:05 MOTION CARRIES.
10:11:05 >>SHIRLEY FOXX-KNOWLES: THANK YOU VERY KINDLY.
10:11:07 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANY REQUESTS FOR
10:11:16 PUBLIC CONSIDERATION OF LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.
10:11:18 DO WE?
10:11:19 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOT THAT I AM AWARE.
10:11:21 YOU CAN MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT.
10:11:22 I DON'T BELIEVE ANYBODY IS REGISTERED FOR THAT.
10:11:25 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYBODY REGISTERED FOR THAT, DEPUTY CLERK?
10:11:29 >> NO, NOBODY REGISTERED.
10:11:32 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANYBODY ON THE
10:11:33 SECOND FLOOR.
10:11:36 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:11:38 THANK YOU, DEPUTY CLERK.
10:11:40 MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:11:43 HOW MANY DO WE HAVE DOWNSTAIRS?
10:11:44 >>THE CLERK: I BELIEVE THERE ARE 10.
10:11:49 >>ORLANDO GUDES: OKAY.
10:11:57 >> HELLO, COUNCIL.
10:12:09 CAN YOU HEAR ME?
10:12:10 THANK YOU.
10:12:10 I WILL BE VERY BRIEF.
10:12:11 DARRYL MCINTYRE, 100 SOUTH ASHLEY DRIVE, SUITE 200 IN TAMPA,
10:12:17 ALSO A TAMPA RESIDENT, AND I HAVE WORKED WITH DUNBAR LLP,
10:12:23 AND WHILE I GENERALLY OPPOSE WHAT I CALL THE ALTERNATE
10:12:28 MORATORIUM PROCESS ON APARTMENTS, IN ANY GEOGRAPHY WITHIN
10:12:33 THE CITY OF TAMPA AND LAND USE CATEGORIES, I WOULD SUPPORT
10:12:37 THE CONTINUANCE.
10:12:38 I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA TO MOVE THE FOCUS BACK TO SOUTH
10:12:41 OF GANDY, AND TO HAVE THE DEBATE WHERE THE DEBATE STARTED
10:12:46 AND WHERE THE ISSUE IS INTENSE.
10:12:48 THAT'S WHERE THIS ISSUE BELONGS.
10:12:50 AND THE FACT THAT IT'S CITY-WIDE, IT'S WRECKING HAVOC IN THE
10:12:56 REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY.
10:12:57 WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF CALLS, IT'S DESTROYING
10:13:00 PREDICTABILITY IN THE LAND USE PROCESS, AND AT LEAST MOVING
10:13:02 THE DISCUSSION BACK TO SOUTH OF GANDY WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS
10:13:06 BENEFIT.
10:13:07 AGAIN, I DON'T SUPPORT THE MORATORIUM IN GENERAL, BUT AT
10:13:11 LEAST MOVING THIS SESSION BACK TO SOUTH OF GANDY WHERE IT
10:13:14 BELONGS.
10:13:15 THANK YOU.
10:13:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:13:17 >> GOOD MORNING.
10:13:40 MY NAME IS AARON CHANCEY, LIVE IN NORTH YBOR, AFTERNOON IT
10:13:47 PROFESSIONAL WORKING IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA AND I AM HERE TO
10:13:49 DISCUSS PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.
10:13:51 WHEN I MOVED TO EAST TAMPA OVER THREE YEARS AGO, 1816 EAST
10:13:55 18th AVENUE WAS OWNED BY THE SERRALLES GROUP, ATTEMPTED
10:14:01 TO RENT OUT THEIR SHED IN THE BACKYARD, HOWEVER AN ORDER
10:14:04 SAYING THE SHED WAS NOT A SEPARATE DOMICILE AND COULD NOT BE
10:14:08 RENTED AS SUCH.
10:14:09 THE ORDER STATED THAT THE KITCHEN THAT WAS INSTALLED WITHOUT
10:14:11 PERMITS IN THE SHED IN ADDITION TO THE SEPARATE ELECTRIC
10:14:15 METER WAS TO BE REMOVED.
10:14:17 IT NEVER WAS.
10:14:18 THE GROUP THEN TRANSFERRED THE PROPERTY TO ONE OF THEIR
10:14:21 EMPLOYEES, AND WILLIAM DID RENT OUT THE SHED.
10:14:25 THIS WAS REPORTED TO AND OBSERVED BY TAMPA'S CODE
10:14:28 ENFORCEMENT.
10:14:29 AT SOME POINT LATER THE LAST RENTERS OF THE SHED LEFT, THERE
10:14:32 WAS A FIRE DAMAGING THE INTERIOR THAT MADE IT UNINHABITABLE.
10:14:37 THAT IS ITS CURRENT STATE.
10:14:39 A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WILLIAMS SOLD 1816 EAST 18th
10:14:43 AVENUE TO ANOTHER INVESTOR WHO INTENSIFIED FOR A PERMIT TO
10:14:48 RENOVATE THE MAIN HOUSE AND THE T SHED, CALLING THE SHED A
10:14:51 DETACHED MOTHER-IN-LAW SUITE.
10:14:53 THEY HAVE NOT YET SUBMITTED PLANS.
10:14:55 HOWEVER, LIKE THE INVESTOR WHO OWNS 1813 EAST 18th
10:14:59 AVENUE, THE PRECONSTRUCTION SITE PLAN WAS CHICKEN SCRATCH ON
10:15:04 A SHEET OF PAPER AND ALSO LIKE THAT OTHER INVESTOR SOME
10:15:07 LEVEL OF CONSTRUCTION STARTED PRIOR TO A PERMIT BEING ISSUED
10:15:11 AS WAS EVIDENCED BY THE WORK THROUGH ON-SITE WORKING LAST
10:15:14 WEEK, MULTIPLE WORK TRUCKS IN AND OUT OF THE PROPERTY AND
10:15:17 THE TWO DUMPSTERS PUT OUT SCRAP BUILDING MATERIALS THAT WERE
10:15:21 FILLED UP BY THEIR EFFORTS.
10:15:24 ONE HAS SINCE BEEN HAULED AWAY.
10:15:26 THE OTHER IS STILL SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY.
10:15:28 I SINCERELY HOPE THAT UNLIKE THE INVESTOR WHO OWNED 1813
10:15:32 EAST 18th AVENUE, A PERMIT WILL NOT BE ISSUED FOR PLANS
10:15:36 THAT DO NOT MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA
10:15:40 HELD US TO WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I RECENTLY IMPROVED OUR HOME.
10:15:43 I ALSO HOPE THAT NO PERMITS WILL BE ISSUED FOR WORK ON 1816
10:15:49 EAST 18th AVENUE UNTIL COMPLETE.
10:15:51 THIS COMPLIES WITH THE CITY'S ORDER TO REMOVE THE
10:15:54 KITCHENETTE AND THE ELECTRIC METERS PRESENTLY INSTALLED ON
10:15:58 THE SHED.
10:15:58 ALTHOUGH GIVEN WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE INVESTOR-OWNED
10:16:01 PROPERTIES AT 1813 EAST 18th AVENUE AND THE HISTORY WITH
10:16:05 1816 EAST 18th AVENUE, I HAVE LITTLE HOPE FOR EITHER OF
10:16:11 THOSE OUTCOMES.
10:16:12 IT SEEMS AS THOUGH INVESTORS GET TO PLAY BY A DIFFERENT SET
10:16:16 OF RULES THAN THE REST OF US HOMEOWNERS.
10:16:18 OFTEN AT THE EXPENSE OF THE REST OF US, AND MORE OVER, THE
10:16:21 EXPENSE OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:16:23 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING.
10:16:26 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
10:16:29 YOU ARE RECOGNIZED, SIR, MR. MIRANDA.
10:16:34 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: [OFF MICROPHONE] ... THEIR OWN NAME SO
10:17:03 THEY GET PREFERENCE AS A HOMEOWNER AT TAX RATE INSTEAD OF A
10:17:07 BUSINESS TAX RATE, AND IF YOU ARE PAYING $1,000 A YEAR, YOU
10:17:12 SHOULD BE PAYING $4,000 A YEAR OR THEREABOUTS, AND WHAT'S
10:17:16 HAPPENING HERE IS THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA IS SUFFERING,
10:17:19 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS SUFFERING, AND MORE IMPORTANT, THE
10:17:21 SCHOOL BOARD IS SUFFERING.
10:17:23 NONE OF THOSE TAXES ARE COLLECTED.
10:17:24 AND ON TOP OF THAT, I'M NOT SAYING THAT THEY ARE CHEATING, I
10:17:30 AM SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T APPLY, MORE LIKELY, IN THEIR TAXES
10:17:34 WHEN IT WAS APRIL, AND I THINK TO THIS MONTH OF MAY WHERE
10:17:39 THEY APPLY, THAT NEVER SHOWS, BECAUSE IT'S NOT A RENTAL
10:17:43 BUSINESS, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT WAS ADDED ON.
10:17:46 AND THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE FACING INFORM
10:17:50 WHATEVER REASON THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THROUGHOUT
10:17:52 THE WHOLE STATE OF FLORIDA AND POSSIBLY THE NATION.
10:17:55 AND IT'S NOT THAT THEY DON'T CARE, IT'S THAT THERE'S SO MANY
10:17:58 OF THEM WITHIN A SMALL TAKE ON SAMPLING ABOUT FIVE YEARS
10:18:03 AGO, AND IN A SMALL AREA OF A CERTAIN DISTRICT IN WEST
10:18:06 TAMPA, WE FOUND 232 HOMES THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN A SMALL
10:18:12 AREA AS MORE THAN LIKELY HAVING RENTAL PROPERTY WITHOUT
10:18:17 CONSENT, WITHOUT PAYING TAXES, WITHOUT PAYING SOMETHING.
10:18:20 AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT THE GENERAL POPULATION ARE THE
10:18:24 ONES THAT ARE PAYING THEIR TAX, BECAUSE THE COST OF LIVING
10:18:28 GOES UP NOT ONLY FOR CITY EMPLOYEES BUT FOR ALL BUSINESSES,
10:18:32 AND LET'S FACE IT, WHAT'S HAPPENING, MR. CHAIRMAN, IS
10:18:35 SOMETHING WHAT SHE SAID A GRANDMOTHER, OR A MOTHER-IN-LAW
10:18:40 SUITE, THAT'S ANOTHER THING.
10:18:44 I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION, AND I WILL TELL WHAT YOU IT IS,
10:18:47 IT'S FOR THIS CITY TO IDENTIFY THE MOTHER-IN-LAW SUITE OR
10:18:53 THE GRANDMOTHER SUITE, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, THEY
10:18:56 ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PROVE TO US THAT THE BLOOD LINE IS
10:18:59 THERE.
10:18:59 THERE'S ALL KIND OF ABILITIES NOW THAT THAT CAN BE DONE, AND
10:19:03 NOT AT GREAT EXPENSE.
10:19:05 AND WHY SHOULD WE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRACKING DOWN IF THEY
10:19:09 REALLY ARE RELATED?
10:19:10 THEY HAVE TO THAT THAT'S THEIR PARENT, AND FIGURE IT OUT.
10:19:16 AND AT ONE TIME, AND I HOPE THIS IS STILL DONE, IN CERTAIN
10:19:19 AREAS OF THE CITY, THAT WAS ALLOWED WAY BACK AND I HAVE NO
10:19:23 PROBLEM WITH THAT AT ALL.
10:19:24 IN FACT I STILL DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT IF IT'S REALLY
10:19:27 FOR YOUR FAMILY MEMBER.
10:19:28 BUT YOU HAVE TO PRESENT THE EVIDENCE TO THIS CITY THAT IT IS
10:19:31 YOUR FAMILY MEMBER.
10:19:32 WE DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT AND INVESTIGATE THAT IT IS.
10:19:35 BUT AT THE END OF THE MEETING I WILL MAKE SOMETHING,
10:19:38 MR. CHAIRMAN, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BECOMING A HARD
10:19:41 BURDEN TO THE REST OF THE TAXPAYERS.
10:19:43 THANK YOU.
10:19:43 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I APPRECIATE THAT, MIRANDA, AND LOOK
10:19:47 FORWARD TO YOUR MOTION DURING NEW BUSINESS.
10:19:49 YES, SIR, YOU CAN BEGIN.
10:19:50 >> MY NAME IS CLAYTON LONG, I LIVE IN THE NORTH YBOR EAST
10:19:55 TAMPA AREA.
10:19:55 I'M A BUSINESS OWNER AND A TAMPA RESIDENT OF NEARLY 40
10:19:58 YEARS, AND I HAVE COME TO TALK ABOUT PERMITTING AND
10:20:01 CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.
10:20:03 A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I ADDRESSED THE CITY COUNCIL
10:20:05 CONCERNING AN INVESTOR IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHO OWNS AT LEAST
10:20:08 TWO HOUSES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:20:09 HE HAD TWO STOP WORK ORDERS ISSUES ISSUED ON HIS 1813 EAST
10:20:13 18th AVENUE HOUSE.
10:20:15 I DISCUSSED HOW HE APPLIED FOR A PERMIT AFTER HIS FIRST STOP
10:20:17 WORK ORDER ON THAT HOUSE AND I DESCRIBED HOW HIS PLANS WERE
10:20:20 APPROVED EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NOT TO SCALE AND DID NOT HAVE
10:20:25 DIAGRAMS, DIDN'T HAVE WINDOW DIAGRAMS, INSTALLATION DETAILS,
10:20:28 AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT WERE LISTED AS IN SCOPE FOR
10:20:32 THE PERMIT.
10:20:33 TWO WEEKS AGO I RETURNED TO TELL YOU THAT MR. HUTCHINSON
10:20:36 FROM TAMPA'S CONSTRUCTION SERVICES CONTACTED ME, PRESUMABLY
10:20:39 AT THE URGING OF ONE OR MORE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, AND HE
10:20:42 TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD ENSURE CONSTRUCTION WOULD NOT START AT
10:20:45 1813 EAST 18th AVENUE UNTIL THE PLANS MET THE CITY'S
10:20:49 STATED REQUIREMENTS.
10:20:50 THE SAME REQUIREMENTS I HAD TO MEET WHEN I DID CONSTRUCTION
10:20:53 OF A SIMILAR SCOPE OF WORK ON MY HOME JUST THREE YEARS AGO.
10:20:58 A PERMIT WAS ISSUED TO 1813 EAST 18th AVENUE AND THE
10:21:02 PLANS STILL FALL WAY SHORT OF CITY SPECIFICATIONS.
10:21:05 WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT MINOR WORK HERE.
10:21:06 THE SCOPE OF THE WORK INCLUDES WINDOW REPLACEMENTS FOR ALL
10:21:09 THE WINDOWS IN THE HOUSE, REMOVING WALLS, BUILDING THE
10:21:13 KITCHEN WITH -- WITH AN ISLAND, AND SUBSTANTIAL ELECTRICAL
10:21:19 WORK.
10:21:19 SO I STAND BEFORE YOU AGAIN AND ASK WHY IS IT WHEN I APPLY
10:21:22 FOR A PERMIT I HAVE TO MEET THE CITY'S STATED
10:21:25 SPECIFICATIONS, BUT IT'S TO ENSURE THE BUILDING CODE
10:21:27 COMPLIANCE AND TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT WHEN I ASK
10:21:31 WHY ISN'T THE INVESTOR NEXT DOOR HELD TO THE SAME STANDARD,
10:21:34 IT'S APPARENTLY TOO BURDENSOME.
10:21:37 TO ANY OBJECTIVE OBSERVER IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE
10:21:40 SHENANIGANS GOING ON HERE TO. FURTHER ILLUSTRATE THIS
10:21:43 POINT, LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT THE CITY OF TAMPA MADE ME SUBMIT
10:21:46 FOR MY PERMIT PLANS.
10:22:01 THESE ARE DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE WINDOW
10:22:03 INSTALLATION.
10:22:13 THESE ARE THE ELECTRICAL DIAGRAMS.
10:22:15 ALL OF THIS IS TO SCALE.
10:22:16 IT HAS ALL OF THE MEASUREMENTS IN IT.
10:22:18 IT IS TO THE SPECIFICATIONS THAT THE CITY REQUIRES INCLUDING
10:22:21 THE EXACT SIZE WHICH THE CITY PUSHED BACK ON ME FOR TWO
10:22:24 MONTHS UNTIL I GOT IT APPROVED.
10:22:26 THE OTHER INVESTOR GOT APPROVED AFTER TWO WEEKS WITH THIS.
10:22:37 NOW, ANY OF YOU LOOK AT THAT AND TELL ME THAT THIS SEEMS
10:22:40 FAIR TO YOU.
10:22:41 THIS PERSON IS GOING TO SELL THIS HOUSE WITHOUT ANY OF THE
10:22:46 WORKERS KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT THEY BUILT, WITHOUT THE
10:22:49 INSPECTOR BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT THIS AND KNOW HOW IT'S BEING
10:22:52 BUILT OR WHAT THE SCOPE OF WORK IS.
10:22:55 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU CAN CONTINUE.
10:22:59 >> THIS ENDS UP HURTING PEOPLE.
10:23:02 THIS IS REALLY ALL THAT'S GOING ON HERE.
10:23:05 AND THIS TIME, THE SHIP HAS SAILED.
10:23:07 WORK IS ALREADY COMPLETED ON.
10:23:09 THIS BUT WE KNEW ABOUT THIS AHEAD OF TIME.
10:23:12 WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND WE FAILED
10:23:13 TO DO SO.
10:23:14 AND I JUST WANT US TO RECOGNIZE THAT, AND TRY TO DO BETTER
10:23:18 NEXT TIME.
10:23:18 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE ON THIS MATTER.
10:23:21 I KNOW SOME OF YOU WERE INVOLVED WITH THIS, AND DID HELP,
10:23:25 AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT.
10:23:26 BUT THIS IS A REAL ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HONESTLY NEED TO BE
10:23:30 ADDRESSED BY THE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:23:31 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
10:23:34 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:23:58 >> MY NAME IS SUSAN LONG.
10:24:00 AND I LIVE IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
10:24:02 THE PROBLEMS YOU HEARD ABOUT FOR THE LAST TWO SPEAKERS ARE
10:24:05 THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT AT A LESSER DEGREE THAT WE HAVE IN
10:24:09 SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
10:24:09 WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PERMITTING, BUILDINGS THAT ARE IN
10:24:14 TOTAL VIOLATION OF RESTRICTIONS ON BUILDING IN SEMINOLE
10:24:19 HEIGHTS, A HOUSE WAS APPROVED TO BE BUILT FOUR DOORS DOWN
10:24:23 THE STREET FROM ME, IT WAS BEING BUILT UP TO THE SIDEWALK IN
10:24:27 FRONT OF THE HOUSES ON EITHER SIDE, WATTS ZONED SH-RS, WE
10:24:33 ZONED IT THAT WAY PARTICULARLY SO THAT CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
10:24:36 AND ANYBODY ELSE WOULD KNOW IT WAS IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS AND
10:24:39 NO WHAT THE RESTRICTIONS WERE, AND WE HAD TO CALL
10:24:43 CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, HAVE THEM COME OUT, LOOK AT WHAT THEY
10:24:47 HAVE DONE AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES MADE THEM RIP OUT
10:24:49 EVERYTHING THEY PUT IN, IT WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE STREET, TOO
10:24:53 CLOSE TO THE NEIGHBOR, ET CETERA.
10:24:54 THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT WE HAVE.
10:24:56 WHAT IS REQUIRED FROM ONE PERSON IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM
10:24:59 WHAT IS REQUIRED FROM ANOTHER.
10:25:01 IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT TURNS IN THE PLAN ON A
10:25:06 NAPKIN, AND THEY APPROVE IT, YOU WON FINANCIALLY.
10:25:10 IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE THE PERSON THAT GOT CAUGHT AND MADE TO
10:25:13 FOLLOW THE RESTRICTIONS YOU HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO
10:25:17 MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.
10:25:19 IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN
10:25:21 NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE STILL DEVELOPING OR BEGINNING TO BE
10:25:25 DEVELOPED TO DISCOVER THAT ONE PERSON CAN DO ANYTHING THEY
10:25:28 WANT, AND THE NEXT PERSON HAS TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
10:25:31 TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE.
10:25:32 THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR IONS IN THE CITY.
10:25:35 I HAVE LIVED HERE 20-SOME-ODD YEARS AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING
10:25:39 ON SINCE THE DAY I MOVED IN AND I HEAR THESE PROBLEMS HAVE
10:25:43 BEEN SOLVED AND TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING
10:25:46 AGAIN.
10:25:46 I HOPE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED THIS TIME.
10:25:49 THANK YOU.
10:25:49 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
10:25:53 >>STEVE MICHELINI: I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 8.
10:26:17 AND I URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS PROPOSAL FOR THIS ORDINANCE.
10:26:24 THE ORDINANCE HAS A WIDE RANGING EFFECT.
10:26:28 THERE HAS BEEN NO FINDING OF URGENCY REGARDING THIS.
10:26:30 THE IMPENDING CHALLENGES FOR HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE HAVE
10:26:34 NOTE BEEN DISCRIMINATED.
10:26:37 INDEED THIS ISSUE BOUNCED BACK AND FORTH, STARTED OUT AS
10:26:41 COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AND THEN CAME BACK AN EVACUATION AND
10:26:45 THEN DENSITY AND TRAFFIC AND TRANSPLANTATION TRANSPORTATION,
10:26:47 AND IT HAS UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES REGARDING THE PRINCIPAL
10:26:51 AREAS DESIGNATED FOR GROWTH AND THE TRANSIT CORRIDORS, USF,
10:26:55 WESTSHORE, DOWNTOWN, CHANNELSIDE, YBOR CITY.
10:26:58 THEY WOULD ALL SUFFER.
10:27:00 PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE TRANSIT CORRIDORS ARE LEGALLY
10:27:04 DEFINED AND DESIGNATED AS HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT AREAS,
10:27:07 AND THIS HAS BEEN NO SUBSTANTIAL AND COMPETENT EVIDENCE
10:27:11 SUBMITTED, DISCUSSED OR PROVIDED TO WARRANT SUCH AN EXTREME
10:27:15 MEASURE IN THESE AREAS WITH ALL BE IMPACTED.
10:27:18 THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OR ANY MEASURE THAT DEMONSTRATED
10:27:21 JUSTIFICATION FOR ANY ACTIONS SUPPORTING THE PROPOSED
10:27:23 ORDINANCE. IN THIS REGARD, WE ARE ONLY OPPOSED TO -- THIS
10:27:27 IS ON BEHALF OF THE BUILDERS ASSOCIATION -- TO ADOPTING THIS
10:27:30 MEASURE AND THE EFFECTS OF THE ENTIRE CITY.
10:27:33 THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ORDINANCE HAVE CHANGED.
10:27:36 WE DO SUPPORT THE FACT THAT THIS HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED TO THE
10:27:39 PLANNING COMMISSION FOR INPUT, EVALUATION, STUDY, AND
10:27:44 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WILL COME BACK TO THE PLANNING
10:27:46 COMMISSION BOARD AS WELL AS THE TAMPA CITY COUNCIL.
10:27:51 I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU A MAP.
10:27:56 THIS IS THE AREAS THAT WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE PROPOSED
10:28:01 ORDINANCE.
10:28:02 THESE ARE ALL CMU-35, CC-35, AND UMU-60 AREAS.
10:28:08 IF YOU NOTICE, THEY ARE ALL ALIGNED ALONG THE TRANSIT
10:28:11 CORRIDORS.
10:28:13 HERE IS A MAP SHOWING YOU THE DESIGNATED TRANSIT CORRIDORS.
10:28:18 ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN ADOPTED THROUGH YOUR COMPREHENSIVE
10:28:20 PLAN, AND THEY ARE ALSO REFLECTED IN YOUR CITY OF TAMPA
10:28:23 CODE.
10:28:26 THIS IS A MAP THAT SHOWS YOU THE DISTRICTS OF THE CITY THAT
10:28:30 ARE IMPACTED AND WHERE THEY ARE PRINCIPALLY, AND THIS IS A
10:28:34 DETAIL OF THAT SAME MAP.
10:28:37 PRINCIPALLY THE AREAS WHERE YOU ARE SHOWING AND EXPECTING
10:28:40 GROWTH TO OCCUR THAT WILL BE AFFECTED ARE DISTRICTS 5 AND
10:28:44 DISTRICT 6.
10:28:45 THAT'S EAST TAMPA, YBOR CITY, AND WEST TAMPA, AND THE
10:28:49 AIRPORT AREA.
10:28:50 SO IN THAT REGARD, THE OBJECTIVE, WHICH I UNDERSTOOD IT TO
10:28:56 BE, WAS TO TRY TO ASSIST SOUTH OF GANDY.
10:28:59 THIS COMPLETELY MISSES THE MARK AND AFFECTS OTHER AREAS,
10:29:02 AGAIN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
10:29:03 WE URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS PROPOSAL.
10:29:05 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:29:06 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:29:41 GO AHEAD, SIR.
10:29:41 >> MENTESNOT.
10:29:45 JUST AS IN RECONSTRUCTION, WHITE PEOPLE, RECONSTRUCTION, AND
10:29:49 WHEN YOU HEAR GRANTS, SOUP KITCHEN, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT
10:29:54 WENT WITH IT, AND THE CARPET BAGGING AND THE SCALLY WAGS AND
10:29:58 EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WENT WITH IT, YOU ALWAYS REFLECT BACK
10:30:01 AND GO BACK TO OLD SLAVERY DAYS BECAUSE I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE
10:30:04 WE ARE IN NEW SLAVERY DAYS.
10:30:07 ALWAYS CONNECT BACK TO SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND.
10:30:09 JUST LIKE WE HAVE HAD -- WE HAVE GOT A CHAIRMAN NOW, WE HAVE
10:30:13 GOT AN AFRICAN CHAIRMAN OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
10:30:15 I DON'T NORMALLY HEAR ME THANK PEOPLE, THANK THE KIDS FOR
10:30:21 DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
10:30:21 I WANT TO COMMEND THE CHAIRMAN FOR GETTING THE CHAIRMANSHIP
10:30:25 POSITION OF CITY COUNCIL, WHEN WE DON'T WANT THAT POSITION
10:30:29 TO GO TO WASTE, WE DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE WHEN PERRY HARVEY
10:30:33 WAS THERE AND WHEN GWEN MILLER WAS THERE AND LES MILLER WAS
10:30:36 THERE AND WHEN THE OTHER PEOPLE WERE THERE AND WHEN KEVIN
10:30:39 WHITE WAS THERE, AND WHEN THOMAS SCOTT WAS THERE, WHEN FRANK
10:30:42 REDDICK WAS THERE.
10:30:43 WE WANT -- CAN YOU HOLD DOWN THE CONVERSATION ON THE OTHER
10:30:49 SIDE, PLEASE?
10:30:50 CAN YOU HOLD MY TIME UP?
10:31:01 IF YOU CAN RESTORE MY TIME I WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATIVE.
10:31:03 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WHOEVER IS IN THE STAFF THAT'S IN THERE,
10:31:10 IF YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE QUIET, PLEASE.
10:31:14 >> WE WANT IT TO BE WHEN IT WAS LIKE GRANT SOUP KITCHEN AND
10:31:19 EVERYBODY WAS TRYING TO GET STUFF.
10:31:20 WE GOT AN AFRICAN CHAIRMAN NOW.
10:31:22 WE WANT TO GET SOMETHING.
10:31:24 WE WANT TO GET SOME REPARATIONS WHEREVER THIS CITY SINCE
10:31:27 IT'S FORMED IN 1823.
10:31:29 IN 2023 IT'S GOING TO BE 200 YEARS AND WE AIN'T GOT NOTHING
10:31:33 OUT OF IT.
10:31:33 WE WANT TO GET OUR 26% OUT OF IT.
10:31:36 THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO GET OUT OF IT.
10:31:38 WE WOULD LIKE OUR CHAIRMAN, WE WOULD LIKE OUR AFRICAN
10:31:41 CHAIRMAN TO START TALKING ABOUT REPARATIONS.
10:31:43 WE WOULD LIKE OUR AFRICAN CHAIRMAN TO START TALKING ABOUT
10:31:46 REALLY BRINGING SOME SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY.
10:31:49 WE WOULD LIKE OUR AFRICAN CHAIRMAN TO TALK ABOUT REVERSING
10:31:54 AND BICYCLE STOPS AND TAKEN OFF OF THEIR RECORD.
10:32:00 WE WOULD LIKE OUR AFRICAN CHAIRMAN TO TALK ABOUT EVERYBODY,
10:32:02 EVERYBODY WHO GOT A CODE VIOLATION, WE THINK WANT THAT OFF
10:32:06 THEIR PROPERTY AND OFF THEIR NAME.
10:32:09 THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.
10:32:10 THAT'S WHAT WE WANT INSIDE OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE YOU KNOW
10:32:12 WHY?
10:32:13 COME DOWN HERE AND TRY TO MAKE SOME NOISE AND TRY TO SAY
10:32:17 SOMETHING AND TRY TO EXPRESS YOURSELF AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE
10:32:19 A HATRED, ALWAYS SAY THEY GOT A HATRED FOR AFRICAN PEOPLE
10:32:23 BUT NOW WE GOT AN AFRICAN CHAIRMAN.
10:32:26 THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD LIKE.
10:32:27 WE WOULD LIKE REPARATIONS.
10:32:29 WE WOULD LIKE THOSE BICYCLE STOPS TO BE REMOVED OFF OF ALL
10:32:32 OF OUR NAMES.
10:32:33 WE WOULD LIKE THE CODE VIOLATIONS TO BE GONE, GONE WITH.
10:32:36 WE WOULD LIKE OUR YOUTH TO STOP BEING HARASSED BY THE
10:32:39 POLICE, DEFUNDING THE POLICE, DEFUNDING CODE ENFORCEMENT,
10:32:43 STUFF LIKE THAT.
10:32:44 WE WANT TO START SEEING SOME REAL ISSUES GET TALKED ABOUT.
10:32:48 WE DON'T WANT THESE ISSUES AND ALL THIS, FRATERNITIES,
10:32:51 SORORITY, AWARD, AWARD CEREMONY, COME INDICATIONS.
10:32:57 THAT'S NONSENSE.
10:32:58 STANDING PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG AND ALL OF THIS
10:33:02 OTHER STUFF.
10:33:03 THAT'S NONSENSE.
10:33:04 PRAYING TO GOD AND REPRESENTING CITY COUNCIL IN A CERTAIN
10:33:08 WAY.
10:33:08 THAT'S NONSENSE.
10:33:09 WE WANT TO SEE SOME REAL SENSE COME TO DISTRICT 5 AND WHAT'S
10:33:13 GOING ON INSIDE OUR AFRICAN COMMUNITY.
10:33:16 THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE WANT TONE SEE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN.
10:33:19 REPARATIONS, BICYCLE STOPS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT OFF THE
10:33:24 BACKS OF AFRICAN PEOPLE.
10:33:27 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:33:28 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MR. DANIEL.
10:33:43 GOOD MORNING, SIR.
10:33:51 >> MY NAME IS VICTOR DIMAIO.
10:33:54 I LIVE AT 3112 NORTH ROME AVENUE.
10:33:57 I'M PRESIDENT OF TAMPA'S NEWEST NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION,
10:34:02 BEAUMONT HEIGHTS.
10:34:03 WE ARE -- OUR BORDERS ARE THAN THE COLUMBUS DRIVE TO THE
10:34:07 SOUTH, HILLSBOROUGH RIVER TO THE EAST, TAMPA BAY TO THE
10:34:11 NORTH AND HOWARD ARMENIA TO THE WEST.
10:34:14 I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT ITEM 77 THAT WE WORKED FOR YEARS ON
10:34:18 NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE, WITH COUNCILMAN GUIDO MANISCALCO, FORMER
10:34:24 CHAIR, BECAUSE WE HAVE A REALLY, REALLY SERIOUS SITUATION
10:34:29 THAT WE.
10:34:29 BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT AND TPD, WITH
10:34:33 BUSINESSES WHO ARE PARKING THEIR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IN THE
10:34:37 NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:34:38 OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION CONSULTED WITH SELF FORMER CITY
10:34:42 ATTORNEYS, AND THE WORDING THAT'S BEEN ON THE BOOKS FOR MANY
10:34:45 YEARS SAYING THE COMMERCIAL TRUCKS CANNOT PARK IN
10:34:49 NEIGHBORHOOD UNLESS THEY ARE A PLUMBER WHO LIVES THERE OR
10:34:51 ELECTRICIAN WORKING ON A HOUSE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I
10:34:58 APPRECIATE COUNCILMAN MIRANDA REALIZING THAT WE DO HAVE A
10:35:02 VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND IF YOU DO MOVE THIS LANGUAGE FROM
10:35:05 THE ONE SECTION IT'S CURRENTLY IN NOW TO ANOTHER SECTION,
10:35:11 WHICH WE FELT THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT AND TPD HAD THE RIGHT TO
10:35:15 WRITE TICKETS, IF THAT'S WHAT THE LEGAL EAGLES TELL US WE
10:35:21 HAVE TO DO, SO WE ARE BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE MOVE THAT
10:35:24 ORDINANCE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME RELIEF, AND WE WON'T HAVE
10:35:28 ANY MORE EXCUSES FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT, AND TPD ON ACTING ON
10:35:33 THESE REALLY BAD ACTORS THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE IN WEST TAMPA
10:35:36 FOR MANY YEARS.
10:35:38 WE LET A LOT OF THINGS GOING AND LOOK THE OTHER WAY.
10:35:41 BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS NICE AS THE
10:35:43 PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN SOUTH TAMPA AND OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY.
10:35:46 SO PLEASE, ITEM NUMBER 77, WE WOULD LIKE TO NOT HAVE ANY
10:35:51 MORE DELAYS ON THIS.
10:35:52 WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT DONE, AND ENACTED SO WE CAN MOVE
10:35:56 FORWARD, AND HELP THE POLICE CLEAN UP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:36:00 IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL BE HERE WHEN THAT ITEM
10:36:03 COMES UP ON 77 AND WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THE SITUATION THAT
10:36:07 WE ARE IN AND HOW WE CAN HELP, NOT JUST OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BUT
10:36:10 THIS COULD APPLY IN THE ENTIRE CITY IF THIS SITUATION COMES
10:36:15 UP AGAIN.
10:36:15 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:36:16 I APPRECIATE IT.
10:36:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:36:20 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF
10:36:51 CITY COUNCIL.
10:36:52 BEFORE I MAKE MY COMMENTS, I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME
10:36:54 CLARIFICATION FROM MR. SHELBY ON WHERE WE ARE PROCEDURALLY,
10:36:59 BECAUSE I WAS LATE IN ARRIVING, AND I HAVE MR. CARLSON'S
10:37:05 MEMORANDUM THAT THE ITEM BE CONTINUED FOR TWO WEEKS.
10:37:07 SO THIS IS SPEAKING ON A COULDN'T ANSWER OR SPEAKING ON THE
10:37:10 MERITS OF THE ORDINANCE?
10:37:11 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF THE ITEMS -- IT WAS DISCUSSED BRIEFLY,
10:37:17 MR. GRANDOFF, DURING THE APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.
10:37:20 BUT FURTHER DISCUSSION AND ANY ACTION IF COUNCIL DOES CHOOSE
10:37:24 TO TAKE IT WILL BE TAKEN UP WITH ITEM NUMBER 8.
10:37:27 THE ANSWER IS YES, BOTH.
10:37:29 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: WHY WOULDN'T WE SPEAK AT THE TIME THE ITEM
10:37:32 IS CALLED ON THE AGENDA?
10:37:35 >>MARTIN SHELBY: BECAUSE THAT IS NOT SET FOR A PUBLIC
10:37:36 HEARING.
10:37:37 IT IS A LEGISLATIVE MATTER.
10:37:38 COUNCIL WILL BE TAKING UP CHANGES TO ITS RULES DOWN THE ROAD
10:37:41 VERY SHORTLY AND PERHAPS ALLOW THAT.
10:37:43 BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME IT'S A LEGISLATIVE MATTER THAT IS
10:37:46 ON THE CONSENT DOCKET.
10:37:48 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: SO GOING FORWARD, THE CONSIDERATION OF
10:37:51 THIS ORDINANCE WILL BE DONE BY COUNCIL, BUT PUBLIC COMMENT
10:37:57 WILL BE LIMITED TO ONLY THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION OF THE
10:38:00 AGENDA?
10:38:04 >>MARTIN SHELBY: TODAY, YES.
10:38:05 IF IT MOVES ON FIRST READING IT WILL BE SETTLES FOR A SECOND
10:38:08 READING AND PUBLIC HEARING WHICH WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL
10:38:11 PUBLIC HEARING WITH TESTIMONY OR COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN.
10:38:17 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: SO AT THAT SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ASSUMING
10:38:19 THAT CURSE, THEN ANY COMMENT WOULD BE MADE AT THE TIME THE
10:38:22 ITEM IS CALLED ON THE AGENDA, NOT AT THE PUBLIC COMMENT
10:38:25 SECTION?
10:38:25 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU MEAN AT THE SECOND -- AT THE SECOND
10:38:30 READING.
10:38:31 COUNCIL, IF IT WISHES, IF IT WISHES TO OPEN UP PUBLIC
10:38:35 COMMENT FOR ITEM NUMBER 8 AND WISH TO WAIVE ITS RULES, CAN
10:38:39 DO SO.
10:38:39 IT CERTAINLY DOES HAVE THAT ABILITY IF IT CHOOSES.
10:38:43 YOUR OPPORTUNITY NOW, FRANKLY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT'S
10:38:48 THE NEXT ITEM, IS IT NOT, MR. CHAIR?
10:38:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE WILL DISCUSS THAT WITH NUMBER 8 BUT
10:38:54 RIGHT NOW CONTINUE WITH PUBLIC COMMENT AND DEAL WITH THE
10:38:56 REST OF IT AS IT COMES.
10:38:57 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: I DON'T WANT TO BE ARGUING FORM OR
10:39:00 SUBSTANCE BUT EITHER WAY IT'S HEARD, MY TIME WOULD BE
10:39:03 LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES AND OTHER PARTIES AND THE PUBLIC
10:39:06 WOULD BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES AS LONG AS THEY WANT TO
10:39:08 SPEAK.
10:39:09 WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THE PUBLIC COMMENT TIME IS A FIXED TIME
10:39:14 AND THAT COULD LIMIT PUBLIC DISCOURSE ABOUT THE ORDINANCE.
10:39:18 I'M FINE BECAUSE I AM GOING TO SPEAK IN A MOMENT.
10:39:20 BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE --
10:39:22 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE NOW.
10:39:24 WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU YOUR TIME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO
10:39:26 SPEAK TO NUMBER 8 IN PUBLIC COMMENT IF YOU WISH.
10:39:29 AND WE'LL CONTINUE AS WE GO.
10:39:31 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: YES, SIR.
10:39:32 THANK YOU FOR THE DIRECTION.
10:39:33 I APPRECIATE IT.
10:39:34 MY NAME IS JOHN GRANDOFF, ADDRESS SUITE 3700 BANK OF AMERICA
10:39:37 PLAZA SPEAKING ON NUMBER 8, THE ORDINANCE ENTITLED THE
10:39:41 INTERIM DEVELOPMENT CONTROL ORDINANCE.
10:39:43 BEFORE DOING SO, I WANT TO CORRECT THINGS.
10:39:47 YOU WERE NOT IN A POSTURE OF A SUBSTANTIAL COMPETENT
10:39:50 EVIDENCE WEIGHING PROCEDURE.
10:39:53 YOU ARE EXERCISING LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
10:39:58 YOU ARE THE LAWMAKERS OF THE CITY AND RIGHTLY SO.
10:40:01 THAT'S WHY YOU WERE ELECTED.
10:40:02 YOU HAVE BROAD DISCRETION IN PASSING THIS ORDINANCE, BROAD
10:40:05 POWER THAT CAN SOMETIMES BE ABUSED OR IMPROPERLY EXERCISED.
10:40:09 SO WHILE YOU HAVE BROAD DISCRETION IN EXERCISING YOUR
10:40:13 LEGISLATIVE POWER, I CAUTION YOU OF A COUPLE OF THINGS, AND
10:40:15 I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT THERE ARE MANY CONTRACTS
10:40:18 THAT ARE PENDING AROUND THE CITY RIGHT NOW IN WHICH DEPOSIT
10:40:24 MONEY HAS GONE NONREFUNDABLE, SIGNIFICANT FUNDS, AND THE
10:40:28 FINAL CLOSING ON THOSE PURCHASE CONTRACTS DEPEND UPON DURING
10:40:32 THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD HOW MANY UNITS CAN BE DESIGNED ON
10:40:37 THE PROPERTY BASED UPON F.A.R.
10:40:40 AND THAT COULD BE 100 UNITS, AND BUT IF IT'S DESIGNED ON A
10:40:46 PER-UNIT BASIS, THAT COULD BE 70 UNITS.
10:40:49 AND I AM NOT ARGUE BEING THE 30, BUT I AM SAYING THAT YOU
10:40:52 HAVE CONTRACTS THAT DEPEND UPON UNIT COUNT, BASED UPON
10:40:56 F.A.R. AND PRO FORMAS THAT HAVE BEEN RUN.
10:40:59 ALL OF THIS GOES ASUNDER IF YOU TAKE OUT THE F.A.R. UNDER
10:41:03 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RIGHT NOW.
10:41:06 THE SELLERS PRICE BECOMES ENDOWED.
10:41:08 THAT BECOMES NEGOTIATED, MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.
10:41:11 THE PURCHASER'S PRO FORMA IS DEFINITELY IN DOUBT.
10:41:13 HOW DO YOU RENEGOTIATE A CONTRACT ONCE THIS ORDINANCE
10:41:16 BECOMES EFFECTIVE?
10:41:18 IS THE CITY COUNCIL AFFECTING THE PRIVATE RIGHT OF
10:41:21 CONTRACTS?
10:41:23 THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED IN YOUR
10:41:25 DISCRETION.
10:41:25 YOU ARE PLACING A CHILLING EFFECT ON COMMERCE WHEN THE
10:41:28 GOVERNMENT PROPOSES TO CONTROL THE SUPPLY OF PRIVATE
10:41:31 PROPERTY, ANYTIME, THE GOVERNMENT CONTROLS OR TRIES TO
10:41:35 CONTROL THE SUPPLY OF PRIVATE PROPERTY, SPECIFICALLY REAL
10:41:38 ESTATE, AND YOU CAN RUN ASUNDER OF THE CONSTITUTION,
10:41:42 ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO IT UNDER VAGUE AND SUBJECTIVE REASONS.
10:41:45 AND I SUBMIT TO YOU THIS ORDINANCE IS AN ANTI-APARTMENT
10:41:50 ORDINANCE DISGUISED AS SOME TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
10:41:54 ORDINANCE.
10:41:54 I THINK THE BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU IN YOUR DISCRETION IS
10:41:58 TO TAKE A SURGICAL KNIFE AND PLACE THIS ORDINANCE EXACTLY
10:42:02 WHERE YOU WANT IT IN THE CITY ON PARCELS WHICH DO NOT HAVE
10:42:08 APPROPRIATE MUNICIPAL SUPPORT SUCH AS STORMWATER, TRAFFIC
10:42:12 IMPROVEMENTS, RIGHTS OF WAY, CLEARLY THE WESTSHORE GANDY
10:42:16 AREA, MEETS THAT TEST.
10:42:20 HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS, BUT YBOR CITY, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS,
10:42:25 TAMPA HEIGHTS, TAMPA PALMS, DO THEY BEAR THOSE BURDENS THAT
10:42:28 ARE ALL UNIQUE TO DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THE CITY?
10:42:30 I THINK IT'S BETTER TO GO ON A PARCEL BY PARCEL ANALYSIS OF
10:42:34 THOSE PROPERTIES THAT ARE AT RISK BECAUSE OF THESE DEFICIENT
10:42:40 MUNICIPAL SERVICES AND DOWN PLAY THOSE CAN TAKE THE F.A.R.
10:42:42 OUT.
10:42:43 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
10:42:44 I APPRECIATE IT.
10:42:45 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: BUT TO DO IT CITY-WIDE I THINK IS A
10:42:47 SERIOUS ERROR AND WILL COMPROMISE COMMERCE FOR THE CITY.
10:42:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
10:42:52 >> CONNIE BURTON.
10:43:13 FIRST, I WILL SAY TO THE POINT FOR CLARIFICATION, SINCE
10:43:20 AROUND 1865 AND ON, PEOPLE STOP BEING OWNED.
10:43:28 I AM JUST HOPING THAT WE ARE JUST MAKING A MISSTEP BECAUSE
10:43:36 MEMBERS OF THIS DESIGN, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT OUR
10:43:39 INTERESTS.
10:43:40 AND SO OWNERSHIP PART IN THAT YOU WOULD BE LISTENING, PAYING
10:43:46 ATTENTION TO THE ISSUES OF THE COMMUNITY AND MOVING SO
10:43:51 RESPECTFULLY THAT WE KNOW, WE WOULD KNOW THAT WE ARE GETTING
10:43:55 PROPER REPRESENTATION AS OPPOSED TO OWNERSHIP.
10:44:00 I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO STATE THAT IT'S VERY TROUBLING TO SEE
10:44:05 THIS MORNING AS WELL THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE HAD
10:44:08 TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORKSHOPS, TALKING ABOUT THE SCORECARD
10:44:12 OF TAMPA, AND THE WAY IN WHICH WE CAN ADVANCE ALL TO MOVE
10:44:16 FORWARD, THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON, YOU WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND
10:44:21 THIS MORNING.
10:44:24 FROM COUNCILMAN GUDES RECEIVED A PROMOTION, BUT WHAT YOU
10:44:29 RECEIVED THIS MORNING IS YOUR BODY NOT HAVING CONFIDENCE.
10:44:35 AND THE REASON WHY THE CONFIDENCE IS LACKING IS BECAUSE OF
10:44:38 THE APPLICATION OF MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE IN EAST TAMPA IS
10:44:43 TREATED FAIRLY, AND THAT WE ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
10:44:47 THAT IS WHAT IT SPOKE TO ME THIS MORNING.
10:44:50 AND AS WE CONTINUE TO HEAR PEOPLE NOT WANTING CERTAIN THINGS
10:44:53 IN THEIR BACKYARD, THE EAST TAMPA COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO ASK
10:44:58 FOR THE VERY SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER WHETHER THEY ARE
10:45:01 SITTING UNDER A TREE, STANDING ON THE CORNER, IN THEIR
10:45:04 PRIVATE HOMES, LOOKING FOR WAYS IN WHICH EAST TAMPA CAN BE
10:45:09 BROUGHT UP TO A LIFESTYLE, THAT EVERYONE IN EAST TAMPA THAT
10:45:15 WANTS TO REMAIN IN EAST TAMPA CAN SEE VALUE AND DIGNITY IN
10:45:19 THEIR LIVES.
10:45:20 WE DON'T SEE IT.
10:45:22 27 SCHOOLS IS CRUMBLING OR FAILING.
10:45:25 HOUSES THAT A SIMPLE REHAB CAN CURE A LOT OF THESE ISSUES.
10:45:30 AND THEY KEEP ON GETTING PUSHED BACK BECAUSE IT'S NOT A
10:45:34 POLITICAL FAVOR TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
10:45:39 BUT WE ARE PAYING RING ATTENTION, AND IT IS VERY
10:45:43 DISAPPOINTING TO HEAR FORMER CHAIR TALK ABOUT HOW EAST TAMPA
10:45:47 IS STUCK IN TIME, AND THE MOMENT YOU CAN ACTIVATE IT, YOU
10:45:51 WON'T DO IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT TO YOUR POLITICAL ADVANTAGE.
10:45:56 WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION.
10:45:57 THANK YOU.
10:45:57 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MS. BURTON.
10:46:02 MR. CARLSON, I WILL RECOGNIZE YOU BUT I HAVE TO SAY
10:46:09 SOMETHING, BUT I HAVE THE FLOOR, SIR.
10:46:10 >>BILL CARLSON: MS. BURTON, THANK YOU FOR THAT.
10:46:14 I THINK THAT'S POSITIVE COMMENT IT L.
10:46:16 BUT I WANT YOU TO LEGALITY EVERYBODY KNOW I AM FINE NOT
10:46:19 BEING CHAIR.
10:46:19 I APPRECIATE THE NOMINATION.
10:46:21 BUT IT'S A LOT OF WORK AND A LOT OF STRESS AND I AM SURE
10:46:23 THAT CHAIR CITRO WILL DO A GREAT JOB, AND I APPRECIATE THE
10:46:27 VOTE OF CONFIDENCE BY THE VICE CHAIR AND STEPPING IN WHEN
10:46:31 HE'S NOT AROUND.
10:46:32 THANK YOU.
10:46:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
10:46:34 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANISCALCO?
10:46:45 >> NO, YOU CAN SPEAK.
10:46:50 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IT'S TROUBLING WHEN I HEAR THAT THINGS ARE
10:46:53 NOT HAPPENING IN DISTRICT 5.
10:46:55 AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT TO BE TRUE.
10:46:57 I BELIEVE THIS COUNCIL HAS DONE A LOT OF THINGS TO MOVE
10:47:00 DISTRICT 5.
10:47:01 IT MATE NOT BE TO THE TOTAL LIKING OF SOME.
10:47:05 >> NAME THEM.
10:47:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IT'S MY TIME, MS. BURTON.
10:47:12 >> NAME THEM.
10:47:13 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IT MAY NOT BE LIKING TO SOME BUT IT IS A
10:47:16 LIKING TO OTHERS.
10:47:18 BUT DISTRICT 5 HAS A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE.
10:47:20 AS YOU KNOW, THIS COUNCIL KNOWS THAT FROM DAY ONE, I PUT
10:47:23 TOGETHER HOUSES -- I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT REHAB FROM DAY
10:47:29 ONE, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A REHAB PROGRAM THAT'S
10:47:34 GETTING GEARED UP.
10:47:35 SO THINGS THAT ARE ADVOCATING, MS. BURTON, ARE BEING HEARD.
10:47:39 THIS IS GOVERNMENT.
10:47:40 SOMETIMES IT TAKES TIME.
10:47:41 SOMETIMES THIS COUNCIL GETS MOVE THAT IT DOESN'T MOVE AS
10:47:44 FAST.
10:47:44 WE GET FRUSTRATED AS WELL.
10:47:46 BUT I WANT TO ASSURE YOU AND EVERYONE IN DISTRICT 5 THAT
10:47:49 THIS COUNCILMAN IS WORKING EVERY DAY FOR DISTRICT 5.
10:47:52 I AM OUT THERE EVERY DAY, AND SO ARE MY COLLEAGUES, WHEN I
10:47:55 MAKE THESE MOTIONS TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
10:47:57 THEY MAY SEEM TO MOVE A LITTLE SLOW BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU
10:48:01 THEY ARE MOVING AND WE ARE GOING TO GET THINGS MOVING ALONG
10:48:03 IN DISTRICT 5.
10:48:04 I CAN GIVE THAT YOU COMMITMENT TODAY, AND TO THOSE WHO ARE
10:48:06 LISTENING WHO R WHO MAY NOT UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE
10:48:09 PARAMETERS OF POLICY MAKING DECISIONS AS DEALS WITH
10:48:13 GOVERNMENT MONEY, AS DEALS WITH A LOT OF STAFFING, BUT I CAN
10:48:16 ASSURE YOU, AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOU'RE COMMENT
10:48:19 BUT WE ARE GOING TO MOVE AND YOU HAVE A BLESSED TODAY.
10:48:22 >> I CAN'T BE BLESSED UNTIL OUR COMMUNITY IS BLESSED.
10:48:25 THANK YOU.
10:48:26 >> GOOD MORNING.
10:49:14 >> GOOD MORNING.
10:49:15 >>ORLANDO GUDES: STATE YOUR NAME.
10:49:25 >> MY NAME IS ANTONIO ALVAREZ.
10:49:29 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ARE YOU HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, MA'AM?
10:49:39 >> INTERPRETER:
10:49:46 (SPEAKING SPANISH).
10:49:48 >> I AM HERE FOR AN INFRACTION.
10:49:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE ARE NOT HERE READY FOR ITEM NUMBER 67
10:49:56 YET.
10:49:56 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I MAY, BECAUSE I BELIEVE STAFF HAS
10:50:00 NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS IS A REQUEST OF, I BELIEVE, AND WE CAN
10:50:07 CONFIRM THIS, TO WITHDRAW THAT, IF THAT IS IN FACT THE CASE,
10:50:10 THERE MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE THAT TO ALLOW THIS
10:50:15 GENTS TO TAKE IT UP BECAUSE IT IS SET FOR 9:30 AND IT IS
10:50:20 AFTER 9:30.
10:50:21 WE CAN HOLD THIS ITEM AND THEN ADVANCE IT RATHER THAN HAVE
10:50:23 HIM WAIT UNTIL ALL THE WAY UP TO ITEM NUMBER 67.
10:50:29 WHAT NUMBER IS THE REVIEW HEARING?
10:50:32 >> ITEM NUMBER 67.
10:50:34 >>MARTIN SHELBY: 67.
10:50:36 I'M SORRY.
10:50:36 THAT'S 10:30.
10:50:37 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IS THERE A REQUEST TO WITHDRAW, MA'AM?
10:50:47 (SPEAKING SPANISH).
10:50:49 INTERPRETER: YES, I HAVE A PETITION TO TAKE OUT THE LITTLE
10:50:55 END.
10:50:59 (SPEAKING SPANISH).
10:51:03 INTERPRETER: AND SINCE 2020.
10:51:10 I ASK TO AMPLIFY THE DESIGN THAT I HAVE DONE FOR --
10:51:15 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO -- WE ARE
10:51:20 OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE NOT WITHDRAWING IT SO WE HAVE TO WAIT
10:51:23 UNTIL THAT HEARING.
10:51:26 WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THAT HEARING FOR ITEM NUMBER 67.
10:51:31 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND MAYBE IF STAFF IS LISTENING TO THIS
10:51:35 THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADVISE COUNCIL.
10:51:38 >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
10:51:43 SO THE PETITIONER, MR. ALVAREZ, IS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL
10:51:48 REGARDING ITEM NUMBER 67, WHICH IS THE DE 1-21-17 FOR
10:51:54 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2704 WEST KATHLEEN STREET.
10:51:57 IN PREPARATION FOR THIS PETITION FOR REVIEW HEARING IT WAS
10:52:01 BROUGHT TO THE CITY'S ATTENTION THAT THE PETITIONER IS
10:52:04 DEMOLISHING OR HAS 95% COMPLETE THE DEMOLITION REGARDING THE
10:52:11 STRUCTURES THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTY THAT IS THE BASIS FOR
10:52:14 THE DESIGN EXCEPTION.
10:52:18 CITY STAFF, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S ALREADY LOGGED ONTO THE
10:52:27 LINK FOR THIS ITEM, BUT THE CITY WAS INFORMED THIS MORNING
10:52:32 THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE WALL LEFT REMAINING THAT NEEDS TO BE
10:52:36 TAKEN DOWN FROM THE PETITIONER, BUT BASED ON THE INFORMATION
10:52:41 THAT WAS RECEIVED REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE SHED AND THE
10:52:44 DEMOLITION OF THE SHED --
10:52:46 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WHAT DOES STAFF WANT TO DO?
10:52:49 WE ARE NOT THERE YET.
10:52:50 WHAT DOES STAFF WANT TO DO WITH THIS?
10:52:55 WE ARE STILL IN PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:52:58 RIGHT NOW WE ARE STILL IN PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:53:00 WE ARE NOT AN ITEM 67 YET.
10:53:02 SO WE ARE ASKING WAS THE GENTLEMAN TRYING TO WITHDRAW, OR
10:53:05 ASK STAFF A CLARIFICATION?
10:53:07 LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR PREFERENCE IS.
10:53:11 >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: THE PETITIONER COULD STATE WHETHER
10:53:13 OR NOT HE WANTS TO WITHDRAW THE PETITION FOR REVIEW HEARING.
10:53:16 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF THAT'S THE CASE, MR. CHAIRMAN, I
10:53:19 SUGGEST WE HOLD THIS UNTIL WE COMPLETE PUBLIC COMMENT, IF WE
10:53:22 WANT TO ADVANCE THIS THING, WE CAN DO SO, SO THEY CANNOT
10:53:25 HAVE TO STAY FOR THE, TO STAY ON TIME.
10:53:30 BUT THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS NOT BEEN OPENED.
10:53:34 >>ORLANDO GUDES: CORRECT.
10:53:39 I THINK WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND JUST HOLD IT, MR.
10:53:42 SHELBY, IS YOUR ADVICE, 67, UNTIL WE OPEN THOSE PUBLIC
10:53:46 HEARINGS, CONTINUE WITH PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:53:48 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND YOU CAN ADVANCE IT, AGAIN, EVEN AHEAD
10:53:51 OF THE SECOND READINGS IF THAT'S COUNCIL'S PLEASURE, IT'S
10:53:55 AFTER 9:30.
10:53:56 IT'S AFTER 10:30. BUT IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE TO RESOLVE THIS
10:53:59 NOW DURING PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:54:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: CORRECT.
10:54:03 MA'AM, AFTER PUBLIC COMMENTS WE'LL DECIDE IF WE ARE GOING TO
10:54:06 OPEN IT UP AND BRING IT BACK FIRST.
10:54:08 AT THIS TIME WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:54:12 IT WILL BE VERY SHORTLY.
10:54:21 YES, SIR, MR. MIRANDA.
10:54:22 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SENOR?
10:54:28 (SPEAKING SPANISH)
10:54:30 >> OKAY, THANK YOU.
10:54:41 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MR. MIRANDA.
10:54:44 WE'LL CONTINUE WITH PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:54:45 HOW MANY MORE DO WE HAVE DOWN THERE?
10:54:47 >>THE CLERK: NO MORE SPEAKERS AT THIS TIME.
10:55:03 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
10:55:08 DEPUTY CLERK?
10:55:09 >> THE FIRST SPEAKER IS GOING TO BE ANDREW MOORE.
10:55:12 ANDREW, IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF AND
10:55:16 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
10:55:16 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.
10:55:22 CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEWLY-ELECTED OFFICES.
10:55:27 I'M CONCERNED, I REPRESENT GOLD ON HEIGHTS DISTRICT, 1901 IN
10:55:33 BEAUMONT HEIGHTS AND THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE CIVIC
10:55:36 ASSOCIATION THERE.
10:55:37 WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS NEW -- AND WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF
10:55:42 THIS AGENDA ITEM 77, IS ALLOWING TPD TO GO AHEAD AND TICKET
10:55:48 SOME INFRACTIONS WITH COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT, COMMERCIAL
10:55:52 VEHICLES PARKING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:55:53 FOR THREE YEARS, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS LOBBIED CITY STAFF,
10:55:57 CITY COUNCIL, CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, TO STOP THIS
10:56:02 COMMERCIAL PARKING THAT KEEPS HAPPENING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
10:56:05 AND FOR THREE YEARS WE WERE TOLD, OH, CITY STAFF OR CODE
10:56:10 ENFORCEMENT CAN'T ENFORCE THIS ISSUE.
10:56:13 AND THEN IN TODAY'S AGENDA ITEM I READ THE REPORT FROM THE
10:56:16 CITY ATTORNEY THAT SAYS THAT THE CITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABLE
10:56:20 TO ENFORCE ON THIS, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT EVEN IF WE
10:56:24 ALLOWED TAMPA PD THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET A LACKADAISICAL
10:56:30 RESPONSE FROM BOTH CODE ENFORCEMENT AND TAMPA PD TO ENFORCE
10:56:35 ON THIS.
10:56:35 I ALWAYS WANT TO STATE THAT THE CODE IS VERY CLEAR THAT IT
10:56:39 HAS TO BE A -- WHEN COMMERCIAL VEHICLES COME INTO A
10:56:42 NEIGHBORHOOD THEY HAVE TO BE DOING WORK ON THE SAME
10:56:45 RESIDENTIAL LOT.
10:56:46 THE OPERATORS OF VEHICLES HAVE TO BE AT A JOB SITE OUR AT
10:56:51 THEIR HOME AND IT'S KNOW IT APPROPRIATE FOR THESE COMMERCIAL
10:56:53 VEHICLES TO JUST PARK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO USE OUR
10:56:57 NEIGHBORHOOD AS PUBLIC PARKING FOR THEIR BUSINESSES.
10:57:01 THEY ARE EITHER AT A JOB SITE, NOR ARE THEY AT AN PRIORITIES
10:57:06 OF A VEHICLE'S HOME.
10:57:08 AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS.
10:57:10 I DO WANT COUNCIL TO PASS THIS ORDINANCE, AND I AM IN FAVOR
10:57:12 OF IT.
10:57:13 OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS IN FAVOR OF IT.
10:57:15 WE ARE JUST CONCERNED.
10:57:16 WE DON'T WANT TO JUST BE THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT PASSING THE
10:57:20 BUCK TO TPD AND IT GOES DOWN ANOTHER RABBIT HOLE OF
10:57:24 NONENFORCEMENT.
10:57:25 WE MET WITH OCEA WYNN IN THE PAST.
10:57:28 SHE'S AWARE OF OUR ISSUES.
10:57:29 WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO HER SEVERAL TIMES AND HEARD NO
10:57:34 RESPONSE ON THESE ISSUES.
10:57:35 WE WOULD LIKE OCEA TO REACH BACK OUT TO US AND CONTINUE TO
10:57:40 WORK WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SO IT CAN BE PROPERLY ENFORCED ON
10:57:43 THE COMMERCIAL PARKING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:57:48 COUNCIL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.
10:57:52 YOU MAY REMEMBER, I SENT YOU ALL AN E-MAIL A DUMB OF WEEKS
10:57:55 AGO THAT SHOWED PICTURES OF THIS ENFORCEMENT HAPPENING IN
10:57:57 OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE WE WERE HAVING COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.
10:58:02 IF THAT REFRESHES YOUR MEMORY, PLEASE LOOK AT THOSE E-MAILS
10:58:05 AGAIN AND YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE PICTURES IN THERE WHERE WE
10:58:09 HAD COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PARKING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:58:12 THEY ARE NOT AT A JOB SITE AND NOT AT THE OPERATOR'S HOME
10:58:18 THAT ARE SPELLED OUT IN THE DEFINITION.
10:58:19 THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.
10:58:20 WE APPRECIATE YOU HEARING OUR ISSUES.
10:58:22 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS GOING TO BE JEAN
10:58:27 STROHMEYER.
10:58:28 IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
10:58:31 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
10:58:52 JEAN, ARE YOU ON THE LINE?
10:58:53 >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET'S GO TO THE NEXT CALLER AND THEN WE'LL
10:59:02 COME BACK.
10:59:02 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
10:59:08 CAROL, IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
10:59:11 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
10:59:12 >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT, A LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF
10:59:16 SOUTH TAMPA.
10:59:17 FIRST I WANT TO COMMEND MR. MANISCALCO ON THE EXCELLENCE JOB
10:59:22 HE DID UNDER YOUR HELM, FRANKLY, AND I WANT TO SAY MR.
10:59:30 GUDES, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU BEFORE YOU WERE ELECTED, I HAVE NO
10:59:33 IDEA REALLY WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOU, BUT YOU HAVE PROVEN
10:59:37 THROUGH YOUR VOTING RECORD THAT YOU ARE UNASHAMEDLY AND
10:59:42 ADAMANTLY PRO NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT THE SAFETY OF THE
10:59:46 RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF TAMPA IS YOUR NUMBER ONE CONCERN,
10:59:50 AND I AM VERY HAPPY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE CHAIR, AND
10:59:53 YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE THE POSITION.
10:59:55 I'M SPEAKING ON ITEM NUMBER 8.
10:59:58 I DO NOT WANT IT DELAYED.
11:00:00 THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND ON AND ON.
11:00:02 AND IT NEED TO BE RESOLVED TODAY.
11:00:05 AND FRANKLY, THE WHOLE SITUATION WITH THE BAR HAS JUST BEEN
11:00:12 COMPLETELY EXAGGERATED IN MY OPINION, MISREPRESENTED.
11:00:15 THIS ONLY AFFECTS A NARROW SLICE OF PROPERTIES.
11:00:25 IF THEY ALREADY HAVE THE ZONING THEY NEED, THEY JUST PULL
11:00:28 THE PERMITS.
11:00:29 IT ONLY AFFECTS IF IT'S SINGLE USE AND NOT MIXED USE.
11:00:34 THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE AREA, MR. MICHELINI SHOWED YOU, ISN'T
11:00:38 REALLY THE WHOLE PICTURE BECAUSE SO MANY OF THOSE PROPERTIES
11:00:42 WOULD NOT BE ACTUALLY AFFECTED.
11:00:44 IN ADDITION, ABBYE FEELEY TESTIFIED THAT THE F.A.R. IS NOT
11:00:50 BEING USED AS IT WAS INTENDED.
11:00:52 IT WAS INTENDED FOR NONRESIDENTIAL PROJECTS.
11:00:55 THE BONUS DENSITY IS FOR RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS.
11:00:59 AND NONE OF THESE DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPERS MENTIONED TO YOU
11:01:02 THE FACT THAT THEY GO STILL GET THE EXCESS DENSITY THEY WANT
11:01:06 AS LONG AS THEY USE BONUS DENSITY.
11:01:08 THE PROBLEM IS FOR THEM IS THE BONUS DENSITY REQUIRES THEM
11:01:12 TO PROVIDE THE CITY WITH FREE AMENITIES AND THAT'S GOING TO
11:01:16 COST THEM SOME MONEY, SO AS ABBEY STATED THEY ARE TRYING TO
11:01:21 DO AN END RUN AROUND PROVIDING THESE DENSITIES AND GET THE
11:01:25 BONUS DENSITY FOR FREE.
11:01:26 SO THERE'S A LOT OF DISINGENUOUS OBJECTION HERE.
11:01:32 YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT EVERYTHING WE WANTED.
11:01:34 LIKE I SAID, IT'S MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING AND I THINK THE
11:01:39 MAYOR SUPPORTS THIS.
11:01:40 THERE'S BEEN BACK AND FORTH ABOUT PENDING ORDINANCE, AND
11:01:42 ORDINANCE, A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME, AND WE WANT THIS EVEN
11:01:49 THOUGH IT'S FAR SHORT OF WHAT WE REALLY NEED.
11:01:52 WE HAVE A PROPERTY SOON HAS THE POTENTIAL OF PUTTING 4200
11:01:58 APARTMENT UNITS IF THEY USE F.A.R.
11:02:02 THAT IS MORE THAN DOUBLING THE CURRENT POPULATION OF
11:02:08 MULTIFAMILY UNITS IN THAT SMALL 4.5-ACRE AREA.
11:02:13 SO THE F.A.R. DOES HAVE AN EFFECT, AND IT'S BEING MISUSED.
11:02:17 I ASK YOU TO PLEASE APPROVE THE RESOLUTION.
11:02:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
11:02:24 >>THE CLERK: WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO JEAN STROHMEYER.
11:02:29 IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
11:02:31 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
11:02:36 MS. STROHMEYER, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
11:02:46 YOU ARE SELF-MUTED.
11:02:55 >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET'S GO TO NUMBER 4 AND WE WILL GO BACK
11:02:59 TO MS. STROHMEYER.
11:03:00 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS STEPHANIE POYNOR.
11:03:05 PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
11:03:06 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
11:03:07 >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM S.IT MUST BE A TECHNICAL
11:03:11 ISSUE.
11:03:11 BUT SHE KNOWS AND SHE'S TRYING TO GET ON.
11:03:14 GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN.
11:03:15 CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW POSITIONS WITH TAMPA CITY
11:03:19 COUNCIL.
11:03:20 I ASK YOU TO INDULGE ME FOR JUST A MINUTE.
11:03:23 I HAVE A BROKEN LEG.
11:03:24 IT'S JUST TOO MUCH FOR ME TO COME DOWN THIS EARLY IN THE
11:03:26 MORNING.
11:03:27 I AM NOT ABLE TO PUT THE VISUAL ON PAPER, SO JUST FOR A
11:03:31 SECOND.
11:03:34 WEST OF DALE MABRY IS APPROXIMATELY 4.5 SQUARE MILES.
11:03:40 WRITE THIS DOWN.
11:03:41 THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART.
11:03:43 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES, 4350.
11:03:50 APARTMENTS SINCE 2016, 4,027.
11:03:56 11-14-19 WAS MY FIRST APPEARANCE WITH YOU FOR MY COMMUNITY,
11:04:03 538 DAYS AGO.
11:04:04 FROM 2016 UNTIL 11-14-2019, THERE WERE 2748 APARTMENTS
11:04:12 APPROVED IN OUR 4.5 SQUARE MILE AREA.
11:04:19 THAT'S 2.36 APARTMENTS PER DAY THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED TO OUR
11:04:23 COMMUNITY.
11:04:24 THAT'S 282 SQUARE UNITS PER SQUARE MILE.
11:04:31 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HERE BEFORE THAT.
11:04:34 THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE ONES ON THE FUTURE AGENDAS, THE
11:04:37 ONES THAT THAT THE DEVELOPERS DON'T NEED TO BRING IN FRONT
11:04:40 OF YOU, THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN SUBMITTED YET.
11:04:42 WE STILL HAVE 1200 THAT ARE GOING TO OPEN UP THIS SUMMER.
11:04:46 SO WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE ONES WHO WERE SUBMITTED
11:04:49 BEFORE YOU GUYS EVER SAT IN THOSE SEATS WILL LOOK LIKE.
11:04:55 YOU TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, FOR OUR
11:04:58 COMMUNITY, WHAT IT MEANS TO OUR CULTURE.
11:05:01 I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE DEVELOPERS AND THE LAWYERS ON THIS
11:05:04 ONE.
11:05:05 WE NEVER WANTED THIS FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.
11:05:08 WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SOG.
11:05:10 THAT'S THE ONLY AREA THAT WE ARE EXPERTS IN.
11:05:15 WE ACCORDING TO THE RULES PRESENTED ARE THE ONLY EXPERTS FOR
11:05:18 OUR COMMUNITY, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE OTHER DESIGNATIONS
11:05:22 TO BE FOR THE CITY.
11:05:25 BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHY SOG, SOUTH OF EUCLID, WHATEVER YOU
11:05:31 WANT TO CALL IT, CAN'T HAVE ITS OWN DESIGNATION.
11:05:36 WE ARE A DEAD-END.
11:05:37 WE ARE SO UNIQUE.
11:05:38 WE ARE ABUTTING ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DOD
11:05:42 FACILITIES OUTSIDE OF THE AREA WITH TWO FOUR STAR COMMANDS
11:05:46 WHICH EMPLOY 24,000 PEOPLE.
11:05:49 WE HAVE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES THAT ARE SUPPLYING
11:05:51 FUEL AND CHEMICALS FOR OUR WATER FACILITIES, TO A LARGE PART
11:05:55 OF OUR REGION.
11:05:57 WE ARE A MAIN EVACUATION ROUTE FOR PINELLAS COUNTY.
11:06:02 YET WE ARE AREN'T CONSIDERED TO BE UNIQUE ENOUGH WITH FOCUS
11:06:07 ON US, NOT FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.
11:06:08 THE F.A.R. IS JUST A BOX OF 48 CRAYONS THAT THE DEVELOPERS
11:06:15 HAVE.
11:06:15 THEY STILL HAVE A WHITE CRAYON, A BLACK CRAYON, IN ADDITION
11:06:18 TO THE OTHER 45 COLORS.
11:06:20 THE F.A.R. SITUATION ONLY IMPACTS THREE DEVELOPMENT AREAS,
11:06:24 THE F.A.R. SITUATION DOESN'T IMPACT MR. CITRO'S BELOVED
11:06:27 MIXED REVIEW, THE F.A.R. SITUATION DOESN'T TAKE THE
11:06:32 DEVELOPERS ABILITY TO USE BONUS ABILITY, THE F.A.R.
11:06:35 SITUATION IS SO SMALL THAT WE DON'T EVEN LIKE IT, BUT WE
11:06:38 HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE.
11:06:39 PLEASE VOTE YES ON ITEM NUMBER 8 AND ALSO -- GO WITH GO
11:06:46 THANK YOU.
11:06:47 >> FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY.
11:06:48 NUMBER 74.
11:06:49 THANK YOU.
11:06:50 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
11:06:51 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS GOING TO BE SHAUN BROWN.
11:06:55 IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF AND YOU HAVE
11:06:58 THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
11:06:58 >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
11:07:02 CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME?
11:07:04 >> YES.
11:07:06 >> IS THAT A YES?
11:07:09 >> YES, SIR.
11:07:09 >> FIRST OFF I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO FOR YOUR
11:07:12 LEADERSHIP LAST YEAR.
11:07:15 IT WAS A YEAR FROM HELL.
11:07:16 AND COUNCILMAN GUDES, CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING ELECTED
11:07:22 CHAIRMAN, DEFINITELY WELL DESERVING AND IT HAS BEEN A
11:07:24 PLEASURE TO GET TO NONYOU DURING THIS TIME AS WE TALK ABOUT
11:07:28 VARIOUS ISSUES.
11:07:29 CERTAINLY I AM SPEAKING ON ITEM NUMBER 8.
11:07:31 AND FIRST OFF, I DO AGREE WITH THE OTHER STEPHANIE AND
11:07:36 CARROLL ANN AND THAT WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE A DELAY, WE WANT
11:07:40 THIS ISSUE SETTLED NOW.
11:07:41 IT'S BEEN FAR TOO LONG IN THE MAKING.
11:07:44 THAT BEING SAID, APRIL 12TH, THERE WAS A MEMO THAT CAME IN
11:07:50 AT THE APRIL 15th MEETING AND IN THAT MEMO IT SAYS THAT,
11:07:55 YOU KNOW, IN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
11:07:58 CITY COUNCIL FORMALLY ADOPT THE ATTACHED DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
11:08:01 ORDINANCE, AND SO THE FACT IS THAT THE CITY, YOU KNOW, THE
11:08:07 CITY IS FOR THIS.
11:08:08 THE CITY HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM.
11:08:11 MS. FEELEY TESTIFIED ON APRIL 15th THAT F.A.R. IS BEING
11:08:16 ABUSED.
11:08:17 SHE REFERENCED A PROJECT THAT IS OUT THERE TRYING TO GO FROM
11:08:22 CMU-35, 35 UNITS PER ACRE LOOKING AT OVER 100 UNITS PER
11:08:27 ACRE.
11:08:28 AND FOR US, DOWN SOUTH OF GANDY, WE HAVE GOT POTENTIAL
11:08:32 36-ACRE PROPERTY THAT HAS BEEN SOLD TO A DEVELOPER AND THEY
11:08:35 CAN PUT IN ALMOST 4500 MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS.
11:08:40 THEY CAN PUT 4500 APARTMENTS.
11:08:43 IF THEY USE THE F.A.R. UNDER THE CURRENT GUIDELINES.
11:08:47 THAT'S A PROBLEM.
11:08:48 AND SO IT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.
11:08:51 IT'S TIME TO CLOSE THE LOOPHOLE THAT DEVELOPERS HAVE BEEN
11:08:54 ABLE TO USE.
11:08:56 THAT'S THE FACT.
11:08:56 THE FACT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THIS FOR FREE.
11:08:59 CLOSING A LOOPHOLE IS GOING TO COST THEM MONEY.
11:09:01 I GET IT NO ONE LIKES TO SPEND MONEY.
11:09:03 NO ONE LIKES TO LOSE MONEY. IN THEIR DAYS THEY WON'T LOSE
11:09:07 MONEY, THEY JUST HAVE TO SHELL OUT A LITTLE MORE.
11:09:14 THEY DESERVE A RIGHT TO HAVE MIXED USE AND THE THING IS THEY
11:09:17 CAN USE F.A.R.
11:09:19 THEY CAN USE F.A.R. IF THEY PAY EXTRA FOR BONUS DENSITY.
11:09:22 IT'S NOT GOING AWAY.
11:09:23 IT'S NOT STOPPING DEVELOPMENT.
11:09:25 THIS ISN'T A MORATORIUM.
11:09:26 NO DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO GET STOPPED.
11:09:28 THE FACT IS THAT DEVELOPERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT LOSING A
11:09:33 LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA MONEY.
11:09:34 THAT'S ALL.
11:09:35 AND THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR.
11:09:37 THE CITY DESERVES MORE, AND IF THESE DEVELOPERS 2021 TRULY
11:09:40 PARTNER WITH US, THEN THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO INVEST AND
11:09:45 LISTEN TO THE RESIDENTS AND DO IT SMARTLY AND SAFELY.
11:09:48 AND ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE IN THAT AS WELL.
11:09:51 THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.
11:09:51 I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
11:09:52 BY THE WAY, I DO AGREE WITH THE IMPACT FEES.
11:09:55 ITEM NUMBER 54.
11:09:57 THANK YOU.
11:09:57 >>THE CLERK: NEXT SPEAKER IS GOING TO BE DAVID MECHANIK.
11:10:01 DAVID, IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF AND
11:10:03 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
11:10:07 >>DAVID MECHANIK: YES, SIR, MR. CHAIRMAN, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
11:10:09 MY NAME IS DAVID MECHANIK.
11:10:11 I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF VIPER VENTURES, WHICH IS A PROPERTY
11:10:16 OWNER ON RATTLESNAKE POINT, WHICH IS SOUTH OF GANDY.
11:10:23 I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINTED OUT -- AND I WILL TRY TO BE
11:10:26 BRIEF AS WE DISCUSSED THESE ISSUES BEFORE -- BUT THERE IS
11:10:31 SIMPLY NO FINDING OF AN IMMEDIATE NEED TO IMPLEMENT THESE
11:10:37 REGULATIONS ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS, SO ON AN IMMEDIATE BASIS.
11:10:43 CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS NEW REGULATIONS ALL THE TIME, BUT IT IS
11:10:50 RARE, IF EVER, THAT COUNCIL IMPOSES THOSE REGULATIONS ON A
11:10:56 SHORT TERM BASIS WHERE YOU GO THROUGH TREMENDOUS PROFIT.
11:11:03 I THINK IT'S A VERY CONCERNING PRECEDENT FOR YOU TO DO
11:11:10 REGULATIONS WHERE YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH THE AMENDMENT
11:11:12 PROCESS.
11:11:13 I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE REGULATION THAT IS
11:11:18 BEING PROPOSED TO GO INTO EFFECT ON JUNE 1st HASN'T HAD
11:11:22 THE FIRST HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR CITY
11:11:28 COUNCIL, AND YET THE REGULATIONS THAT YOU INTEND TO IMPOSE
11:11:33 ON JUNE 1st AREN'T THE SAME LANGUAGE.
11:11:39 WHO IS TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THAT LANGUAGE WILL BE THE SAME
11:11:42 WHEN YOU BRING IT THROUGH THE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS?
11:11:45 THE WHOLE POINT OF HAVING HEARINGS FOR A PLAN AMENDMENT IS
11:11:49 TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC, AND TO GET INPUT, AND IT'S QUITE
11:11:54 LIKELY THAT YOU WILL BE MAKING CHANGES TO THAT LANGUAGE.
11:11:58 SO WHY WOULD YOU IMPOSE A REGULATION ON JUNE 1st WHEN
11:12:03 YOU.
11:12:04 GONE THROUGH ANY PROCESS TO CONSIDER THESE AMENDMENTS?
11:12:08 AND I WOULD JUST RESPECTFULLY SUGGEST, WHILE WE HAVE NO
11:12:16 CONCERN ADMINISTERING THE PLAN AMENDMENT, WE DO HAVE
11:12:19 CONCERNS WITH THE IDEA OF PUTTING THIS IN EFFECT ON JUNE
11:12:23 1st.
11:12:23 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:12:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
11:12:27 >>THE CLERK: NEXT SPEAKER IS GOING TO BE RANDY COEN.
11:12:30 IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
11:12:32 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
11:12:33 >>RANDY COEN: I AM UNMUTED. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE
11:12:40 SCREEN TO PROVIDE AN EXHIBIT.
11:12:55 IS IT UP?
11:12:57 THANK YOU.
11:12:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE CAN'T SHOW THE VISUALS?
11:13:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOT REMOTELY, COUNCIL.
11:13:05 BUT IS HE LOGGED IN, MADAM CLERK?
11:13:07 >> YES.
11:13:08 >>MARTIN SHELBY: ON VIDEO, I MEAN?
11:13:10 IF YOU LOGGED IN ON VIDEO ON GO-TO MEETING.
11:13:14 >> CAN YOU SEE THE SCREEN?
11:13:27 HELLO?
11:13:28 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, GO AHEAD.
11:13:32 >> I'M SORRY.
11:13:32 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:13:33 THIS IS AN EXHIBIT THAT WAS PREPARED FOR THE PLANNING -- BY
11:13:37 THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON BEHALF OF A REQUEST FROM THE
11:13:39 WESTSHORE ALLIANCE.
11:13:40 BUT YOU SEE THE PURPLE, THE PINK AND THE RED ARE ALL OF THE
11:13:46 LAND USE DESIGNATED PARCELS THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE
11:13:50 MORATORIUM.
11:13:51 I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS INCLUDES ALL OF KENNEDY
11:13:54 BOULEVARD TO THE EAST-WEST, NORTH, SOUTH, ALL OF KENNEDY
11:13:58 BOULEVARD, WATERS AVENUE, ALL OF BUSCH BOULEVARD, A GOOD
11:14:03 DEAL OF HOWLER AVENUE, A GOOD DEAL OF BUSCH BOULEVARD, I
11:14:12 ALREADY SAID THAT, FLORIDA AVENUE, ARMENIA, GREAT PORTIONS
11:14:16 OF DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
11:14:18 BUT THEN THESE ROADS ARE BASICALLY ALL OF THE PRIMARY
11:14:21 TRANSIT CORRIDORS THAT THE CITY HAS ADOPTED AND HAS BROUGHT
11:14:29 THROUGH THE COMP PLAN TO INCREASE DENSITIES IN THESE AREAS
11:14:33 TO SUPPORT TRANSIT.
11:14:35 THE MORATORIUM AS PROPOSED WOULD RESULT IN ANY PARCEL BEING
11:14:41 REZONED ON ANY OF THESE CORRIDORS TO BE REDUCED IN THE
11:14:46 DEVELOPMENT BY 15% TO 50% OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROJECT.
11:14:50 I THINK THAT KIND OF FLIES IN THE FACE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE
11:14:54 PLAN AND IS INCONSISTENT.
11:14:56 I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS ACTION WOULD ALSO AFFECT
11:15:00 NEW TAMPA.
11:15:01 THIS IS THE CORE OF NEW TAMPA AND BRUCE B. DOWNS AND I-75.
11:15:06 WOULD RESTRICT SUCH DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA.
11:15:08 MOVING DOWN TO THIS AREA, YOU CAN SEE THAT VIRTUALLY ALL OF
11:15:12 YBOR CITY NORTH OF OR SOUTH OF 8th AVENUE WOULD BE
11:15:17 AFFECTED BY THIS MORATORIUM.
11:15:20 AS WOULD ROCKY POINT OUT IN THIS AREA WHICH IS VIRTUALLY ALL
11:15:24 AFFECTED BY THIS MORATORIUM.
11:15:26 WE ALSO HAVE THE FACT THAT, AS WE INDICATED BEFORE, TWO OF
11:15:31 THE DESIGNATED AREAS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
11:15:34 PLAN BEING THE USF AREA AND THE WESTSHORE AREA ARE
11:15:38 SUBSTANTIALLY IMPACTED BY THIS PROPOSED MORATORIUM.
11:15:42 SO I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT AS PROPOSED, THERE'S A
11:15:46 NUMBER OF INCIDENTAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PARTICULAR
11:15:55 MORATORIUM PROPOSAL.
11:15:57 SO I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS IS CONTINUED, AND FURTHER WORK,
11:16:02 AND THAT THE FOCUS OF SOUTH OF GANDY OR SOMEWHERE IN THAT
11:16:06 AREA, THAT THIS MORATORIUM BE LIMITED TO THAT GEOGRAPHIC
11:16:10 AREA RATHER THAN BEING A SHOTGUN APPROACH WHICH EFFECTS
11:16:16 NUMEROUS PARCELS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA AND SUBSTANTIAL
11:16:19 IMPACTS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN EVALUATED, TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
11:16:23 AND THAT'S MY COMMENTS.
11:16:26 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:16:26 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
11:16:29 >>THE CLERK: NEXT SPEAKER IS ELISE BATSEL.
11:16:35 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
11:16:36 >>ORLANDO GUDES: GO TO NUMBER 9 AND WE'LL CIRCLE BACK.
11:16:53 >>ELISE BATSEL: GOOD MORNING.
11:16:55 CAN YOU HEAR ME?
11:16:57 I'M SORRY.
11:17:03 STEARNS WEAVER, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:17:04 I AM HERE TO SPEAK ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 8.
11:17:07 THE MORATORIUM BEFORE YOU STARTED AS AN ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS
11:17:11 PERCEIVED PROBLEMS SUCH AS TRAFFIC AND OTHER ISSUES SOUTH OF
11:17:14 GANDY.
11:17:15 MANY OF US ENCOURAGED COUNCIL VERY EARLY IN THE PROCESS TO
11:17:18 LET STAFF DO ACTUAL STUDIES TO COME UP WITH DATA TO FORM
11:17:24 PROPER RESOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.
11:17:27 THIS COUNCIL DIRECTED THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO COME BACK TO
11:17:30 COUNCIL WITH A MORATORIUM.
11:17:31 AND IN A WAY WE HAVE BEEN ALL BEEN SPINNING OUR WHEELS EVER
11:17:34 SINCE.
11:17:35 THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO FOLLOW YOUR
11:17:38 INSTRUCTIONS AND TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A DEFENSIBLE ORDINANCE,
11:17:42 SO THE SOG ISSUE HAS NOW EVOLVED INTO A CITY-WIDE MORATORIUM
11:17:47 WITH SIGNIFICANT UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
11:17:50 AS MR. COEN STATED THE ORDINANCE BEFORE YOU WOULD ENCOURAGE
11:17:55 DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREAS WHEREBY WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE
11:17:58 DEVELOPMENT ALONG INTERSECTIONS AND TRANSIT CORRIDORS.
11:18:01 I WOULD -- I WOULD ENCOURAGE TO YOU VOTE ON THE CITY-WIDE
11:18:07 MORATORIUM UP OR DOWN TODAY.
11:18:10 IF IT DOESN'T PASS, AND STAFF COMES BACK TO YOU WITH A SOUTH
11:18:14 OF GANDY SOLUTION, YOU CAN CONSIDER THAT ORDINANCE AT THAT
11:18:17 TIME.
11:18:19 BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO GIVE STAFF TIME TO CONDUCT
11:18:23 ACTUAL STUDIES AND FOR ACTUAL DATA TO DETERMINE HOW TO
11:18:26 PROPERLY ADDRESS THE SOG I SHALL YOU HAVE.
11:18:28 HOW CAN STAFF COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO THIS COUNCIL UNTIL
11:18:31 THEY ACTUALLY DO THE STUDIES THAT ARE NECESSARY?
11:18:35 I FEEL FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THEY ARE SPENDING MOST OF THEIR
11:18:38 TIME IN MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF THE MORATORIUM, SO THEY CAN'T
11:18:42 GET TO THE REAL WORK THAT THEY NEED TO DO TO REALLY COME UP
11:18:45 WITH SOLUTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE SOUTH OF GANDY.
11:18:49 THAT'S HOW IT ALL STARTED.
11:18:51 FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN'T PROPOSE A TRAFFIC SOLUTION UNTIL A
11:18:53 NEW SIGNALIZATION STUDY IS DONE AT THE GANDY --
11:19:00 PLEASE ALLOW STAFF THE TOOLS AND THE TIME TO DO THEIR JOB.
11:19:03 OTHERWISE, WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE BACK BEFORE THIS
11:19:06 COUNCIL TALKING ABOUT THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF ANOTHER
11:19:09 PROPOSAL THAT AREN'T BASED ON ACTUAL DATA AND ACTUAL
11:19:13 STUDIES.
11:19:14 I ENCOURAGE TO YOU VOTE NO TODAY ON THE CITY-WIDE MORATORIUM
11:19:17 AND TO WORK WITH STAFF TO COME BACK WITH A WELL STUDIED
11:19:20 PROPOSAL THAT ACTUALLY ADDRESSES ALL OF THE PROBLEMS AND
11:19:24 ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN SPOKEN ABOUT OVER AND OVER BY THE
11:19:27 COMMUNITY SOUTH OF GANDY.
11:19:30 THANK YOU.
11:19:30 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS GOING TO BE JACOB.
11:19:34 IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
11:19:37 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
11:19:38 >> THANK YOU.
11:19:41 THIS IS JAKE CREMER AT STEARNS WEAVER MILLER.
11:19:44 I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS MORNING.
11:19:46 I WON'T REHASH WHAT THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS HAD TO SAY ON THE
11:19:51 MORATORIUM.
11:19:51 I FEEL SIMILARLY THE TO MANY OF THEM.
11:19:54 INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, I FOUND MYSELF IN AGREEMENT WITH MANY
11:19:58 OF THE SOUTH OF GANDY COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD
11:20:00 FROM WHO FROM WHAT I HEARD AGREE THAT THE DECISION NEEDED TO
11:20:06 BE MADE TODAY.
11:20:07 IT'S TIME TO VOTE UP OR DOWN ON THIS BAD PROPOSAL.
11:20:13 THIS ORDINANCE -- I ALSO AGREE WITH THE SOUTH OF GANDY
11:20:17 COMMUNITY THAT THIS PROPOSAL DOESN'T RECOGNIZE WHAT MAKES
11:20:20 SOUTH TAMPA AND SOUTH OF GANDY SO SPECIAL.
11:20:25 IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE REST OF THE CITY THAT ISSUES THAT WE
11:20:29 ARE WORKING THROUGH IN ONE PART OF THE CITY ARE NOW GOING TO
11:20:32 RESTRICT THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.
11:20:36 MR. COEN'S MAP WAS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE HEAR A LOT
11:20:40 AND WE TALK A LOT ABOUT TRANSIT IN THIS COMMUNITY, BUT I CAN
11:20:43 PROMISE YOU, WE WILL NEVER GET REAL TRANSIT IN THIS
11:20:46 COMMUNITY IF WE DON'T SUPPORT DENSITY -- WE HAVE TO PUT ON
11:20:50 OUR BIG BOY PANTS AS A CITY AND BELIEVE IN GROWTH, AND
11:20:54 DENSITY WILL ACTUALLY HELP US GET THERE.
11:20:57 IT'S HARD, AND THERE WILL BE GROWING PAINS, BUT THIS IS NOT
11:21:02 THE RIGHT WAY TO GET THERE.
11:21:04 SO I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND ALL YOU DO FOR THE CITY.
11:21:08 CHAIRMAN, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ELECTION TODAY.
11:21:10 THANK YOU.
11:21:12 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
11:21:13 >>THE CLERK: NEXT SPEAKER IS GOING TO BE JENNIFER
11:21:15 MOTSINGER.
11:21:16 JENNIFER, IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
11:21:19 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
11:21:20 >> THANK YOU.
11:21:22 GOOD MORNING.
11:21:22 JENNIFER MOTT SING WE ARE THE TAMPA BAY BUILDERS
11:21:25 ASSOCIATION.
11:21:26 REPRESENTING THOSE WHO BUILD THE AMERICAN DREAM OF HOME
11:21:28 OWNERSHIP.
11:21:30 WHENEVER COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCE GROWTH IT'S ALWAYS -- WE
11:21:35 HAVE SEEN THE AREA SOUTH OF GANDY AROUND WESTSHORE GROW VERY
11:21:39 QUICKLY.
11:21:39 ALL THAT THOUGH THAT IS TYPICAL, COUNTY BE FRUSTRATING
11:21:42 ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THAT AREA.
11:21:45 I AGREE WITH A LOT OF THE SPEAKERS THAT MORE ATTENTION CAN
11:21:48 BE FOCUSED ON BRINGING TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER
11:21:51 INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS ONLINE.
11:21:53 HOWEVER, I AGAIN OPPOSE ANY TYPE OF MORATORIUM.
11:21:58 A MORATORIUM SIGNALS TO MANY SEGMENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND
11:22:02 SOCIETY THAT WE CAN'T HANDLE GROWTH.
11:22:04 I DON'T THINK THAT'S TRUE.
11:22:06 IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT DISCUSSION, AND I AM GLAD THAT YOU ARE
11:22:09 CONSIDERING ALL THE PERSPECTIVES BEFORE TAKING FINAL ACTION
11:22:14 AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS MORNING AND I HOPE YOU ALL
11:22:18 VERY WELL.
11:22:18 THANK YOU.
11:22:19 >>THE CLERK: THE LAST SPEAKER IS GOING TO BE JEAN
11:22:21 STROHMEYER.
11:22:22 IF YOU ARE ON THE LINE, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
11:22:25 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
11:22:26 >> OKAY. CAN YOU HEAR ME THIS TIME?
11:22:30 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE CAN HEAR YOU.
11:22:31 >> THANK GOD.
11:22:32 I WANT TO ALSO CONGRATULATE COUNCILMAN GUDES IN YOUR
11:22:35 APPOINTMENT AND TO THANK MR. MANISCALCO FOR HIS SERVICES IN
11:22:40 THE PAST, AND TO CLARIFY THAT THE F.A.R. IS A PRIVILEGE AND
11:22:45 NOT A RIGHT, AND OUR FIGHT IS NOT WITH THE MAYOR BUT ONLY
11:22:51 FOR EVACUATION AND TRAFFIC. I WANT TO CLARIFY THOSE MATTERS
11:22:54 AND I AM READY TO GO.
11:22:57 MY NAME IS JEAN STROHMEYER.
11:23:00 AND I AM PRESIDENT OF INTERBAY SOUTH OF GANDY ASSOCIATION,
11:23:04 ITEM NUMBER 8.
11:23:05 AS A CITIZEN, I THOUGHT OUR MEETING ON 3-26, WE HAD AN
11:23:10 AGREEMENT AS A RESULT OF OUR SUMMIT MEETING WITH
11:23:13 APPROXIMATELY 29 PEOPLE INCLUDING OUR GREAT SOG NEIGHBORHOOD
11:23:16 LEADERS, CITY ATTORNEY, CHIEF OF STAFF BENNETT, AS WELL AS
11:23:20 MAYOR CASTOR, AND OUR BUILDER AND CHIEF DEVELOP, JOHN, WHO
11:23:25 HAS BEEN ON THE OPPOSING SIDE OF THE TABLE SINCE DAY ONE.
11:23:32 NOTHING AGAINST PROGRESS BUT IT'S GOOD.
11:23:37 IT'S NOT GOOD WHILE BEATING CITIZENS INTO SUBMISSION.
11:23:39 OUR GOAL HAS OVERBUILDING STOCK FROM MEGA APARTMENT
11:23:45 COMPLEXES SOUTH OF GANDY, REALLY LET THE DUST SETTLES.
11:23:50 WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS NOT LEGAL BECAUSE WE COULD NOT SINGLE
11:23:52 OUT OURSELVES AND NOT OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY.
11:23:55 IT MAKES NO SENSE.
11:23:56 WE ARE THE SAME BODY WITH DIFFERENT LIMBS.
11:23:59 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY DID IT AND SO DID OTHER PLACES.
11:24:01 WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE AS OF TUESDAY WE THOUGHT WE HAD AN
11:24:04 AGREEMENT, AND THE ONLY REASON TO SPEAK TODAY WAS TO TELL
11:24:08 OUR CITY LEADERS A JOB WELL DONE.
11:24:11 THEN ON WEDNESDAY WE FOUND OUT WE DIDN'T HAVE A DEAL.
11:24:13 WE WERE DUMBFOUNDED, AS AN AMATEUR I AM IGNORANT IN LAND
11:24:20 USE, AND IT APPEARS THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO REACH THE
11:24:25 GAME SOLES WE ARE WORKING ON.
11:24:27 NUMBER ONE IS THE MOTION SUBMITTED BY MR. DINGFELDER, ON OUR
11:24:31 BEHALF FOR A MORATORIUM WHICH TURNED INTO LAND USE STUDY
11:24:37 THAT WOULD TAKE EFFECT FIRST WITH A PERMANENT SOLUTION BEING
11:24:40 TAKEN UNDERWAY.
11:24:41 THIS WOULD PRESUMABLY CAST ANY STRAY REQUESTS OF ZONING.
11:24:46 NUMBER TWO, WE HAVE THE CITY VERSION WHICH IS ALSO
11:24:48 CONSIDERED WILL BE A PERMANENT SOLUTION BY THE PROCESS OF
11:24:52 CHANGING THE COMP PLAN TO ELIMINATE F.A.R. BUT USING THE
11:24:57 PENDING ORDINANCE.
11:25:00 EITHER WAY, OUR GOALS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD,
11:25:02 SOUTH OF GANDY, NOT CITY-WIDE ELIMINATION OR ELIMINATION OF
11:25:06 F.A.R. BUT OTHER PERSISTENT AND SYSTEM HE'S THE ITEM I CAN
11:25:10 PROBLEMS SINCE 2007 WITH LACK OF ROADS, GAS STATIONS,
11:25:14 RETAILS AND JOBS BUT THE MOST IMPORTANTLY SAFETY IN VEGAS
11:25:20 EVACUATION DURING AN EMERGENCY.
11:25:22 SHOWS WITH THE CURRENT POPULATION PEOPLE WOULD DROWN IN
11:25:27 THEIR CARS WHILE TRYING TO EVACUATE DURING A MERE CATEGORY
11:25:31 ONE STORM SURGE.
11:25:33 GENTLEMEN, IT IS TIME TO VOTE FOR OR AGAINST OUR
11:25:36 NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:25:37 THANK YOU.
11:25:37 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
11:25:43 THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT.
11:25:44 >>THE CLERK: YES, CHAIR THAT DOES CONCLUDE GENERAL COMMENT
11:25:48 FOR THE AGENDA.

11:29:23 >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
11:29:25 NO, MR. COUNCILMAN, THE CITY DOES NOT OBJECT TO THE
11:29:29 PETITIONER WITHDRAWING THE PETITION FOR REVIEW.
11:29:31 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: UPON EXAMINATION OF THIS ADDRESS AT 3704
11:29:38 WEST KATHLEEN WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IMPROPER BUILDING
11:29:41 BEING BUILT WITHOUT A PERMIT?
11:29:44 THERE WAS NOTHING CONCERNING RENTAL PROPERTY OR ANYTHING OF
11:29:47 THAT NATURE?
11:29:47 >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: THAT'S CORRECT.
11:29:50 THIS IS ONLY REGARDING STRUCTURES THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTY
11:29:53 THAT WERE BUILT WITHOUT A PERMIT.
11:29:55 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: DOES THE CITY WHEN THESE CASES COME UP,
11:29:57 AND NOT SPECIFICALLY ASKING THIS QUESTION ON THIS ADDRESS,
11:30:00 DO YOU ASK THOSE QUESTIONS TO THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE

11:30:03 DO THEY HAVE ANY RENTAL PROPERTY THAT'S ILLEGAL?
11:30:06 >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: MR. COUNCILMAN, TO THE BEST OF MY
11:30:11 KNOWLEDGE, I AM NOT SURE.

11:30:49 >>BILL CARLSON: DO I MAKE MY MOTION?
11:31:09 LET'S HEAR FROM STAFF AND THEN GO INTO DISCUSSION AND ANY
11:31:12 MOTION THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE.
11:31:13 >>BILL CARLSON: I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE IT.
11:31:17 >>CAROLE POST: THIS IS CAROLE POST, ADMINISTRATOR FOR
11:31:24 DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
11:31:29 I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE CONTINUANCE.
11:31:32 I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO ALSO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR
11:31:34 APPOINTMENT AND ALL OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THEIR
11:31:39 RESPECTIVE APPOINTMENTS, AND OF COURSE CHAIR MANISCALCO,
11:31:43 THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP OF THE PAST YEAR.
11:31:46 AS I SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE REQUEST FOR
11:31:48 CONTINUANCE OF THE ITEM FIRST.
11:31:50 WE DO HAVE STAFF MEMBERS AVAILABLE AS WELL, THE SUBSTANCE OF
11:31:54 THE ITEM, SHOULD IT NOT BE CONTINUED.
11:32:00 THE MATTER BUFF, AND HAS BEEN ADDRESSED, I THINK ALL OF YOU
11:32:05 RECOGNIZED, SUBSTANTIALLY BEFORE COUNCIL, BEEN BEFORE
11:32:08 COUNCIL SIX TIMES.
11:32:11 TODAY IS THE 7th TIME THAT THIS MATTER IS COMING BEFORE
11:32:15 COUNCIL IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.
11:32:18 THROUGHOUT THIS TIME, THERE WERE MANY DISCUSSIONS WITH
11:32:24 STAFF, SOUTH OF GANDY STAKEHOLDERS, RESIDENTS, WE ALSO MET
11:32:27 WITH DEVELOPERS MANY TIMES, AND ON MARCH 26th, ONE OF
11:32:32 THOSE TIMES, IT WAS AN ALL-HANDS TYPE MEETING, AS I HEARD
11:32:36 OTHERS REFER TO IT AS THE TOWN HALL MEETING, MAYOR CASTOR,
11:32:42 CHAIR GUDES, I THINK SOMEWHAT AT YOUR SUGGESTION IN MARCH.
11:32:50 AT THE DISCUSSION ON MARCH 26, THIS DISCUSSION ACTUALLY
11:32:53 RESULTED IN AN ALTERNATE APPROACH WHICH WAS A PERMANENT
11:32:59 SOLUTION TO THE F.A.R. ISSUE, DEALING WITH THE MORATORIUM.
11:33:07 AND THAT PROPOSAL AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE MORATORIUM WAS
11:33:10 PRESENTED TO COUNCIL ON APRIL 1st.
11:33:12 ON APRIL 1st, STAFF PRESENTED AND RECOMMENDED THAT
11:33:18 ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION, WHICH WAS TO -- COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
11:33:23 AMENDMENT, PERMANENTLY ADDRESSED THE F.A.R.
11:33:26 ON THAT DAY, COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED THE RESOLUTION, AND
11:33:32 THAT PROCESS IS NOW UNDERWAY.
11:33:39 THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT IN PROCESS WITH THE PLANNING
11:33:42 COMMISSION.
11:33:43 BUT ALSO ON THAT DAY, AFTER ADOPTION OF THAT COMP PLAN
11:33:47 RESOLUTION, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER AGAIN ASKED TO BRING
11:33:52 FORWARD AN INTERIM DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT, WHICH WE HEARD
11:33:58 REFERRED TO AS A NONMORATORIUM-MORATORIUM.
11:34:02 I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THAT MOTION IS AND REMAINS
11:34:06 SEPARATE AND APART FROM THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT RESOLUTION
11:34:10 ADOPTED THAT DAY TO REMAIN UNDERWAY.
11:34:13 BUT APRIL 15th, IN RESPONSE TO THE INTERIM DEVELOPMENT
11:34:18 CONTROL ORDINANCE REQUEST, STAFF RETURNED TO COUNCIL WITH A
11:34:22 DRAFT OF THAT ORDINANCE FOR DISCUSSION, AND COUNCIL THAT DAY
11:34:27 VOTED FOR STAFF TO BRING IT BACK IN A FORMAT FOR FIRST
11:34:32 READING, WHICH IS WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY.
11:34:35 THAT ORDINANCE HAS BEEN SENT TO COUNCIL AS REQUESTED.
11:34:39 I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE, THOUGH, THAT THERE ARE NO FURTHER
11:34:42 DISCUSSIONS PLANNED WITH THE COMMUNITY OR ANY OTHER
11:34:45 STAKEHOLDERS EITHER PLANNED OR ANTICIPATED ON THIS
11:34:49 PARTICULAR MATTER.
11:34:50 I BELIEVE THE MEETING THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON REFERRED TO
11:34:53 EARLIER THIS MORNING IS A STAFF AND COMMUNITY MEETING AS A
11:35:00 FOLLOW-UP THAT WAS DISCUSSED DURING THE MARCH TOWN HALL.
11:35:05 AT THAT TOWN HALL MEETING, THE MAYOR COMMITTED FOR STAFF TO
11:35:08 HAVE CONTINUING FOLLOW-UP ON A NUMBER OF RELATED MATTERS,
11:35:15 THAT JEAN TALKED ABOUT, TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, GENERAL
11:35:18 GROWTH MANAGEMENT, AND EVACUATION RESPONSE.
11:35:21 AND AS SUCH, THOSE ARE BEING PLANNED.
11:35:26 THE ONE IN QUESTION IS ACTUALLY SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 15th
11:35:33 AND REITERATE THAT IS NOT A MEETING TO DISCUSS THE
11:35:35 MORATORIUM OR ANY OTHER SOLUTION RELATED INTERIM
11:35:39 DEVELOPMENT.
11:35:43 TO CONCLUDE, WE ARE NOT FOR THE CONSEQUENCE ANSWER OF THIS
11:35:46 MATTER TODAY.
11:35:47 WE PREFER TO CONCLUDE THE MATTER WITH CERTAINTY ONE WAY OR
11:35:51 ANOTHER TODAY.
11:35:54 WE DO BELIEVE THAT THE PLAN WE AGREED TO WITH THE COMMUNITY
11:35:58 AND WITH COUNCIL SUPPORT TO INITIATE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
11:36:02 AMENDMENT SERVES AS OUR STRATEGIC AND CONCLUSIVE APPROACH TO
11:36:09 CITY PLANNING, THE APPROPRIATE METHOD TO ADDRESS THE F.A.R.
11:36:13 ISSUE.
11:36:14 AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IT IS JUST ONE OF MANY EFFORTS
11:36:17 THAT ARE UNDERWAY TO ADDRESS RELATED GROWTH MANAGEMENT
11:36:20 MATTERS.
11:36:22 I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
11:36:27 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THIS IS A HOT TOPIC.
11:36:30 BEFORE I TAKE ANY MOTION, I WANT TO GO WITH DISCUSSIONS
11:36:32 FIRST, AND AFTER DISCUSSIONS WE'LL DEAL WITH THE MOTION.
11:36:36 SO I THINK MR. CARLSON WAS FIRST.
11:36:38 I SAW HIS HAND.
11:36:39 AND MR. DINGFELDER.
11:36:40 AND MR. CITRO.
11:36:47 MR. VIERA.
11:36:47 >>BILL CARLSON: JUST IN TERMS OF COMMENTS, AS MS. POST
11:36:51 SAID, ALTHOUGH THE MEETING NEXT FRIDAY MAY HAVE BEEN SET UP
11:36:54 FOR SOME OTHER PURPOSE, I AM CERTAIN THAT SOG LEADERS WILL
11:36:59 TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES.
11:37:01 JUST TO CORRECT THE RECORD, WE SAID, I THINK, PRETTY
11:37:06 ADAMANTLY WE DID NOT WANT A MORATORIUM, WHATEVER THE LEGAL
11:37:09 TERM IS.
11:37:13 SAID WE DIDN'T WANT A MORATORIUM.
11:37:15 THEN STAFF CAME BACK WITH THIS NARROW VIEW, AND THEN
11:37:18 SOMEBODY IN THE COMMUNITY IS PUSHING THE IDEA OF MORATORIUM.
11:37:21 AND IT APPEARS TO BE FROM THE COMMENT THIS MORNING THE
11:37:24 DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY THAT'S DOING IT.
11:37:26 BUT YET IT'S THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY THAT'S SAYING WE
11:37:28 DON'T WANT THE WORD MORATORIUM TO GET OUT BECAUSE THE LARGER
11:37:31 INVESTMENT COMMUNITY IN THE COUNTRY IS NOT GOING TO WANT TO
11:37:34 INVEST IN TAMPA BECAUSE OF IT SO THE EASY SOLUTION IS TO
11:37:36 STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
11:37:38 IF YOU WANT TO SCARE INVESTORS OFF, TALK ABOUT PUT A LABEL
11:37:41 ON SOMETHING THAT ISN'T ACCURATE, OR ISN'T EXACTLY ACCURATE.
11:37:45 NUMBER TWO, THE SOUTH OF GANDY LEADERS WHO I HAVE MET WITH,
11:37:51 MANY, MANY TIMES, AND I AM SURE YOU ALL DO, I TALK TO THEM
11:37:54 ALMOST DAILY, THEY NEVER ASKED FOR A CITY-WIDE THING.
11:37:57 THEY EVEN SAID AGAIN THIS MORNING THEY DOESN'T WANT A
11:37:59 CITY-WIDE SOLUTION.
11:38:01 AND WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES COMING UP.
11:38:03 ONE IS THE LONG-TERM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT BUT THIS
11:38:09 ONE IS AN ORDINANCE THAT PUTS IT INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.
11:38:13 YES, I THINK MR. DINGFELDER IS THE ONE WHO MADE THE MOTION
11:38:16 ON THIS.
11:38:16 SO TECHNICALLY, YES, IT IS A REQUEST OF COUNCIL, BUT WHAT
11:38:20 COUNCIL ASKED FOR ORIGINALLY AND WHAT THE COMMUNITY ASKED
11:38:22 FOR ORIGINALLY WAS A SOUTH OF GANDY SOLUTION.
11:38:25 AND THIS IS THE PROPOSAL THAT WE GOT.
11:38:28 NONE OF US TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAD EVER SAID WE WANT TO BE
11:38:31 TAKE -- WE WANTED TO TAKE AWAY THE F.A.R. BONUS.
11:38:36 AND WE ALSO DID NOT -- SO PUT ALL THE EXCEPTIONS AND
11:38:43 EVERYTHING.
11:38:44 THAT CAME FROM STAFF.
11:38:44 THE QUESTION THAT I POSED TO STAFF MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST
11:38:47 YEAR, REALLY, IS WHAT COULD BE THE SOLUTION?
11:38:51 I'M NOT A LAWYER.
11:38:52 I'M NOT A LAND USE LAWYER.
11:38:53 I TALK TO A BUNCH OF THEM I.DOWNTOWN KNOW WHAT THE POSSIBLE
11:38:56 SOLUTIONS EVER R.
11:38:57 THE COMMUNITY HAS GIVEN US IDEAS.
11:38:59 I TALKED TO LAND USE ATTORNEYS WHO GIVE IDEAS TO US.
11:39:02 AND I HAVE HAD THREE OR FOUR LAND USE ATTORNEYS CALL ME THE
11:39:05 LAST TWO DAYS AND SAY THERE ARE SOUTH OF GANDY OPTIONS, WHY
11:39:08 IS STAFF NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM? I HAD A CONVERSATION
11:39:11 WITH LEGAL YESTERDAY AND IS HE SHE HAD THEY LOOKED AT THEM.
11:39:14 I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S TRUE AND WATTS WHAT'S NOT BUT THERE
11:39:17 SEEMS TO BE A SOUTH OF GANDY SOLUTION THAT'S POSSIBLE THAT
11:39:20 WOULD MORE DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF SOUTH GANDY.
11:39:23 THEY ARE NOT HAPPY AS I SAID WITH THIS SOLUTION ANYWAY.
11:39:25 THE PEOPLE IN THE REST OF THE CITY ARE NOT HAPPY WITH IT.
11:39:28 AND I THINK SINCE THERE IS A MEETING COM COMING OUT FRIDAY I
11:39:31 THINK WE SHOULD GO AHEAD AND DELAY IT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS
11:39:33 TO LOOK AT THAT.
11:39:38 I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF HE SAID SHE
11:39:42 SAID AROUND THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE TOO POLITICAL.
11:39:45 AND I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT DIRECTIONS I HAVE SEEN THE
11:39:47 LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COUNCIL AND
11:39:51 STAFF AS BECOMING MORE POLITICAL.
11:39:53 AND I ASKED CHIEF OF STAFF IF WE COULD GO BACK TO THE
11:39:56 COLLEGIAL ENVIRONMENT.
11:39:57 MAYBE YOU ALL HAVE NOT SENSED THIS.
11:40:00 BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CITY COUNCIL DID NOT PROPOSE.
11:40:04 WE MAY END UP APPROVING IT TODAY.
11:40:07 BUT WHAT WE ASKED FOR AND WHAT THE COMMUNITY ASKED FOR IS A
11:40:11 SOUTH OF GANDY SOLUTION THAT WILL FIX THE SOUTH OF GANDY
11:40:14 PROBLEMS.
11:40:14 THANK YOU.
11:40:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER.
11:40:18 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:40:20 A GOOD ANALYSIS OF WHERE WE HAVE BEEN.
11:40:24 I DON'T NECESSARILY AGREE WITH MS. POST IN TERMS OF HOW WE
11:40:28 GOT TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY BUT I AM NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW,
11:40:32 YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL HINDSIGHT, WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE AND I
11:40:35 AM NOT GOING TO GO THERE.
11:40:36 WE ARE WHERE WE ARE.
11:40:37 I DO AGREE WITH WHAT MR. CARLSON SAID, THAT THIS HOLISTIC
11:40:44 CITY-WIDE APPROACH IS NOT NECESSARILY WHAT COUNCIL HAD ASKED
11:40:48 FOR.
11:40:50 THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE BEEN SORT OF PUSHED IN A DIRECTION,
11:40:52 AND I HAVE CALLED IT A POISON PILL, BECAUSE I THINK IT IS A
11:40:55 POISON PILL THAT'S BEEN GIVEN TO US, AND THAT WAS PROVEN TO
11:40:58 ME TODAY WHEN DEVELOPERS SAY, GO AHEAD AND VOTE IT UP OH ARE
11:41:01 DOWN.
11:41:02 WELL, GUESS WHAT, THEY ARE COUNTING HEADS.
11:41:05 WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COUNT HEADS.
11:41:06 BUT THEY ARE COUNTING HEADS.
11:41:08 AND THEY COUNTED HEAD, THEY MADE THEIR PHONE CALLS AROUND
11:41:11 THIS DAIS.
11:41:12 THEY DON'T CALL ME BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHERE I STAND.
11:41:14 BUT THEY CALLED AROUND THIS DAIS AND THEY COUNTED HEADS.
11:41:17 BUT THAT'S IRRELEVANT.
11:41:18 WHAT'S MORE RELEVANT IS WHAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU TODAY.
11:41:22 AND I PROVIDED THIS DOCUMENT TO ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS, MR.
11:41:26 SHELBY, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE RECEIVED IT THIS MORNING
11:41:31 BY MR. GARRETT AND THE CLERK HAS A COPY.
11:41:37 AND WHAT THIS ONE-PAGE DOCUMENT SPEAKS TO IS THIS IS
11:41:41 DIRECTLY OUT OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
11:41:42 AND I HOPE EVERYBODY GOT A COPY OF IT AND LOOKED AT IT.
11:41:46 AND SPECIFICALLY, I LOOK OVER TO THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IN THE
11:41:50 YELLOW AREA, AND IT SAYS THE FOLLOWING ROAD CORRIDORS HAVE A
11:41:54 SERIES OF MIXED USES ALONG THEM.
11:41:56 AND THEN IT SPEAKS TO ALL THOSE HIGHWAYS AND MAJOR ROADS
11:42:00 THROUGHOUT OUR CITY THAT RANDY COEN SPOKE TO.
11:42:05 DALE MABRY, GANDY, ARMENIA, HOWARD, FLORIDA, NEBRASKA, MLK,
11:42:10 COLUMBUS, 40th, 50th, ADAMO, PART OF ADAMO, BUSCH
11:42:15 BOULEVARD, HILLSBOROUGH, FOWLER, FLETCHER, BRUCE B. DOWNS,
11:42:18 KENNEDY, WESTSHORE, WESTSHORE NORTH OF KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
11:42:23 AND THEN THE NEXT LINE IS CRITICAL.
11:42:26 THESE ROADWAYS ARE TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS AND ARE
11:42:30 SUITABLE FOR REDEVELOPMENT AND INTENSIFICATION.
11:42:34 THAT'S WHAT THE USE OF THE F.A.R. IS.
11:42:36 THE USE.
11:42:37 F.A.R. IS INTENSIFICATION OF DEVELOPMENT.
11:42:40 SO WHY DO D I GIVE YOU THIS?
11:42:43 OKAY, I GAVE YOU THIS SO WE CAN MODIFY THE ORDINANCE, AND I
11:42:46 GAVE YOU A COPY OF THE ORDINANCE, SO WE CAN MODIFY THE
11:42:49 ORDINANCE AND HAVE IT BROUGHT BACK TO US THIS AFTERNOON TO
11:42:54 EXCLUDE ANY PROPERTY THAT IS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE, AND
11:42:59 WALKING DISTANCE HAS BEEN DEFINED AS ONE QUARTER MILE, OKAY,
11:43:03 ONE QUARTER MILE WALKING, THE WALKING PATH OF ONE QUARTER
11:43:07 MILE AWAY FROM ANY OF THESE TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS.
11:43:14 I DIDN'T COME UP WITH THIS BY MYSELF LAST NIGHT.
11:43:17 I CALLED ONE OF OUR CITY PLANNERS AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT.
11:43:20 I SAID, WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE THIS, TO FOCUS THIS ON WHERE
11:43:24 IT NEEDS TO BE FOCUSED.
11:43:26 OKAY?
11:43:26 THIS STILL LEAVES SOME OPPORTUNITY, ACTUALLY, SOUTH OF
11:43:30 GANDY, INCLUDING DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
11:43:35 THE POSSIBILITY IF THERE'S SOME PROPERTY THAT WANTS TO COME
11:43:37 IN FOR REZONING WITHIN A QUARTER MILE WALKING DISTANCE, ON
11:43:41 EITHER SIDE OF DALE MABRY HIGHWAY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO
11:43:43 MacDILL AIR FORCE BASE, SO BE IT.
11:43:45 BUT NOW WHAT?
11:43:46 DALE MABRY HIGHWAY AND GANDY BOULEVARD ARE BOTH MAJOR ROADS.
11:43:50 AND GANDY IS IMPROVED EVEN MORE SO.
11:43:53 THEY ARE MAJOR ROADS, AND AS ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS SPOKE TO
11:43:57 EVENTUALLY WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MAJOR TRANSIT ON ALL OF
11:44:00 THESE ROAD.
11:44:01 SO I AGREE, AS MUCH AS I HIGHLIGHT TO SAY IT, I AGREE WITH
11:44:04 MY FELLOW ATTORNEYS WHO CALLED IN TODAY AND SAID WE
11:44:07 SHOULDN'T BE THROWING OUT THE BABY WITH THE BATH WATER.
11:44:11 BUT I ALSO AGREE THAT DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO BE IN THE
11:44:13 APPROPRIATE PLACE.
11:44:14 AND ESPECIALLY INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT.
11:44:19 INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT USED IN THIS F.A.R. SHOULD NOT BE USED
11:44:22 IN INAPPROPRIATE PLACES.
11:44:23 SO WITH THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN, WHENEVER YOU GET AROUND TO
11:44:26 ASKING FOR A MOTION -- AND BILL, I THINK THIS IS CONSISTENT
11:44:29 WITH WHERE YOU ARE GOING, AT LEAST I HOPE SO, BECAUSE THIS
11:44:34 WILL LIMIT THE PROPOSED INTERIM DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
11:44:38 ORDINANCE SIGNIFICANTLY.
11:44:41 THIS WILL TAKE AWAY THE IMPACT OF THIS ORDINANCE ON ALL OF
11:44:46 THESE ROADS THAT ARE CALLED TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS.
11:44:52 THAT'S WHERE I AM HEADED.
11:44:53 I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR THIS BEYOND TODAY I WOULD ASK US TO
11:44:57 DO A MOTION TO DIRECT LEGAL TO INCORPORATE THIS IDEA IN THIS
11:45:02 ORDINANCE AND VOTE THAT UP OR DOWN THIS AFTERNOON.
11:45:06 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CITRO.
11:45:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
11:45:11 TO COUNCILMAN CARLSON INTEREST POINT WHEN THIS FIRST CAME
11:45:13 OUT THE TWO REASONS THAT WERE GIVEN WAS BECAUSE OF HIGH
11:45:16 COASTAL HAZARD AND BECAUSE OF EVACUATION TIMING.
11:45:22 AT THAT POINT OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY SUCH AS PALMETTO SAID,
11:45:25 WELL, WHAT ABOUT US?
11:45:26 THOSE TWO SITUATIONS, HIGH COASTAL HAZARD, EVACUATION TIME,
11:45:31 HAVE TO DO WITH SEVERAL PARTS OF OUR CITY.
11:45:34 SO WE CAN'T JUST CARVE OUT ONE AREA.
11:45:37 MR. GOERS IS GOING TO BE BRINGING TO US A STUDY THAT WE GOT
11:45:43 A GRANT ON, HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT EIGHT MONTHS.
11:45:46 THIS STUDY WILL REVEAL EXACTLY WHAT THIS ORDINANCE MAY OR
11:45:49 MAY NOT NEED TO BE DONE IN THIS CITY.
11:45:53 I WOULD PREFER TO WAIT ON THAT REPORT COMING BACK.
11:46:00 THIS ORDINANCE WILL TAKE AWAY ONE OF THE GREATEST STRENGTHS
11:46:03 THAT THIS CITY COUNCIL HAS, AND THAT'S TO HEAR THE BURDEN OF
11:46:09 PROOF CASE BY CASE BY CASE BY CASE.
11:46:13 I WANT TO HEAR WHAT THAT REPORT HAS TO SAY.
11:46:16 THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.
11:46:18 I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS ORDINANCE TODAY.
11:46:20 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
11:46:21 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:46:24 I APPRECIATE THAT, SIR.
11:46:25 YOU KNOW, A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS GOING BACK AND FORTH, I
11:46:28 THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CHOICES THAT WE HAVE TO
11:46:33 ANSWER AS MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, WHICH IS DO WE SUPPORT
11:46:38 MORATORIUM OR AN EQUIVALENT?
11:46:39 I HAVE MADE MY MOTION KNOWN ON.
11:46:42 THAT DO WE SUPPORT THE CODE AMENDMENT PROCESS?
11:46:44 I THINK THAT WE ALL DO.
11:46:45 I KNOW THAT I CERTAINLY DO, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I
11:46:48 PROMISED TO THE COMMUNITIES FROM DAY ONE, AND DO WE SUPPORT
11:46:51 SOMETHING THAT HAS IMMEDIATE IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT CODE
11:46:55 AMENDMENT PROCESS THAT SEEMED TO HAVE AT LEAST GOTTEN TO
11:46:58 FIRST BASE FROM CITY COUNCIL LAST TIME 4-3, AND WHATNOT?
11:47:02 I SUPPORT THE CODE AMENDMENT PROCESS, WHICH IS A
11:47:06 DELIBERATIVE PROCESS AND WHATNOT THAT TAKES US INTO THE
11:47:09 DIRECTION THAT WE WANT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT THAT IS
11:47:13 DELIBERATIVE AND ALLOWS US TO CONSIDER ADEQUATELY AND WITH
11:47:16 GREAT MEASURED CARE ALL OF THE STEPS THAT CAN GO, AND WHAT
11:47:21 ARE THE BENEFITS OF IT, WHAT'S THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF
11:47:23 IT.
11:47:24 LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE A MORATORIUM.
11:47:29 I JUST DON'T THINK THAT SEND THE RIGHT MESSAGE ON THE CITY
11:47:34 OF TAMPA.
11:47:35 AND I THINK THAT THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO GO, AS I HAVE SAID
11:47:39 MANY, MANY TIMES, THE BUDGET PROCESS, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND A
11:47:43 LITTLE COIN HAS ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON IT, THE PENNY, THE PENNY
11:47:50 SALES TAX, SUPPORTED ALL FOR TRANSPORTATION.
11:47:53 I WAS PROUD TO ENDORSE THAT AND I HOPE THAT IN 2022 WE CAN
11:47:57 GET THAT BACK ON THE BALLOT.
11:47:58 THERE IS NO GREATER FRIEND TO HAVING GOOD PROGRESS FOR
11:48:04 COMMUNITY WIDE SOUTH OF GANDY, AND MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES,
11:48:08 THAN MASS TRANSIT AND HAVING THOSE ROBUST TRANSPORTATION
11:48:11 RELATED INVESTMENTS THAT THIS WOULD DO.
11:48:15 WITH REGARDS TO OUR FRIEND COUNCILMAN CARLSON'S MOTION, MY
11:48:21 POSITION IS THAT ON THIS NARROWLY TAILORED ISSUE, WE SHOULD
11:48:25 SEE WHERE WE STAND ON IT TODAY.
11:48:27 IF IT GOES FORWARD, FINE F.NOT, BUT HAVING ANOTHER
11:48:31 COMPROMISE, WHETHER COUNCILMAN CARLSON LEADS IT OR
11:48:34 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER LEADS IT, HE DON'T THINK HAS ANY
11:48:38 RELATIONSHIP TO WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO SUPPORT THE
11:48:40 ORDINANCE FOR IMPLEMENTATION ON JUNE 1st AS WE SEE IT
11:48:45 TODAY.
11:48:45 SO JUST MY THOUGHTS ON IT.
11:48:48 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.
11:48:49 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE?
11:48:52 YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
11:48:53 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:48:55 I APPRECIATE ALL THE CONVERSATION I HAVE HEARD.
11:48:57 I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY IT WAS BROUGHT UP THE WAY
11:49:01 IT WAS.
11:49:02 HOWEVER, I HAVE AN IDEA, AND THIS IS THE RATIONALE THAT I
11:49:06 HAVE COME UP WITH.
11:49:07 I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IF IT'S DONE NOT ON A CITY-WIDE BASIS,
11:49:10 JUST A LOCALIZED AREA, THAT I THEY MAY BE CONSIDERED BY THE
11:49:15 LAWYERS TO BE NOT THE RIGHT WAY OR CONSTITUTIONAL WAY TO DO
11:49:19 IT.
11:49:19 OOH I AM JUST SAYING THAT'S WAY THINK.
11:49:22 I HAVEN'T TALKED TO ANYONE REGARDING IT.
11:49:24 AND I HEARD ALSO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS SAY THAT FOR MY BREAD
11:49:30 AND BUTTER, I DO NOT HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO ANYONE ON THIS SIDE,
11:49:34 OR THIS SIDE.
11:49:35 NOT THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND NOT THE GOOD PEOPLE IN
11:49:38 SOUTH TAMPA.
11:49:39 IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO SAY IT, GOD BLESS THEM.
11:49:42 IN FACT YOU DON'T SEE NO CELL PHONE WITH ME I.ADOPT TEXT
11:49:45 ANYBODY WHEN I AM IN A MEETING AND NOBODY TEXTS ME.
11:49:48 PERIOD.
11:49:49 AND I HAVE DONE THAT MY WHOLE LIFE.
11:49:50 ONE DAY I MADE A MISTAKE WHEN I WAS CHAIRMAN YEARS AGO AND I
11:49:54 WILL BE -- AND I HAD A PHONE AND IT RANG.
11:50:00 BUT IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE PHONE ON ME IT COULD HAVE RANG ALL
11:50:03 IT WANTED.
11:50:03 SO IT WAS MY MISTAKE FOR BRINGING THE PHONE IN.
11:50:06 I ALWAYS TELL MY GRANDKIDS THIS.
11:50:08 IF YOU DRINK, YOU ARE LIABLE TO GET A DUI.
11:50:12 IF YOU DON'T DRINK YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO GET A DUI.
11:50:14 AND GUESS WHAT.
11:50:15 I YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BE AN ALCOHOLIC.
11:50:20 BUT IT'S YOUR CHOICE.
11:50:21 DO WHAT YOU WANT.
11:50:22 I DON'T TELL THEM NOT TO DRINK.
11:50:24 BUT WHAT I AM DOING NOW IS TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE LOGISTICS
11:50:27 OF A VERY COMPLICATED SITUATION.
11:50:32 DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM THERE?
11:50:33 YES.
11:50:34 IS IT TRAFFIC?
11:50:36 YES.
11:50:36 HOWEVER, HOW DO WE GET HERE?
11:50:42 COUNCILMAN VIERA TALKED ABOUT TRANSPORTATION.
11:50:45 REALLY?
11:50:45 THERE IS NO TRANSPORTATION.
11:50:50 WHY?
11:50:52 BECAUSE EVERY TIME THERE'S AN EXPRESSWAY BUILT AND YOU HAVE
11:50:56 A PROBLEM, THE NEXT THING THEY DO IS EXPAND IT.
11:50:59 A YEAR LATER, THAT IS EXTINCT.
11:51:02 SO THEY HAVE TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IF NOT BILLIONS
11:51:06 OF DOLLARS OP INSTEAD OF BUILDING, EXPANDING THE EXPRESSWAY,
11:51:12 BUT BUILD TRANSPORTATION THE RIGHT WAY.
11:51:14 I AM NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE GOOD PEOPLE IN THE
11:51:17 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, BUT IF WE HAD GOT THAT MONEY
11:51:21 AND PUT IN THE TRAINS AND BUSES, WE MAY NOT BE IN THE
11:51:24 SITUATION WE ARE IN TODAY.
11:51:26 IN THE FIFTIES, WE HAD 50-SOME MILES OF STREETCARS.
11:51:32 HOW MANY WE GOT NOW?
11:51:33 NONE.
11:51:35 OTHER THAN THE STREETCAR THAT WE PUT IN UNDER THE GRECO
11:51:37 ADMINISTRATION, WILL 11 MILES, I THINK.
11:51:41 AND IT WENT FROM DOWNTOWN ALL THE WAY AROUND CHANNELSIDE
11:51:47 INTO YBOR CITY AND BACK.
11:51:50 HOW DO WE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
11:51:55 IT'S BY WORKING OUT AND HAVING A COMPLEX SITUATION, WORK
11:51:58 WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF WHAT WE HAVE, THE PLANNING
11:52:00 COMMISSION HAS GOT TO BE INVOLVED, THE CITIZENS HAVE TO BE
11:52:03 INVOLVED, BUT TO SAY TODAY TO GO AND DO THIS, IF SOMEBODY
11:52:10 DOES SOMETHING, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN
11:52:12 YOU SAY I AM GOING TO HAVE IN A CONSTRUCTION IN THIS AREA,
11:52:17 NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT WE KNOW, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS THAT
11:52:21 WE ARE IN THAT WE DON'T KNOW.
11:52:23 SO THERE'S GOT TO BE DOCUMENTATION TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS
11:52:28 THING DOESN'T BITE THE DUST.
11:52:30 I'M NOT AGAINST THE PEOPLE IN SOUTH TAMPA.
11:52:32 AND I AM NOT AGAINST ANYONE WHO BROUGHT THIS UP.
11:52:35 BUT HAS TO BE A CONCENTRATED EFFORT WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF
11:52:38 THE LAW, NOT WHAT I WANT, WHAT THE LAW SAYS I CAN DO.
11:52:43 AND THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE VERY TROUBLING WHEN YOU
11:52:46 RUN FOR OFFICE AND SIT DOWN AND SAY I AM GOING TO DO
11:52:49 WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP.
11:52:51 HOWEVER, YOU ARE LIMITED IN WHAT YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO
11:52:55 HELP BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF SITUATIONS THAT HAVE NEVER
11:52:58 BEEN DISCUSSED UNTIL YOU HAVE A SITUATION THAT COMES LIKE IT
11:53:01 IS TODAY.
11:53:02 SO YOU HAVE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES, NOT AGAINST EACH OTHER,
11:53:06 BUT AGAINST TRYING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAT THEY CAN'T SOLVE
11:53:09 THEMSELVES.
11:53:11 WHY DO YOU HAVE DEVELOPMENT?
11:53:12 I HEARD PEOPLE SAY.
11:53:14 DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS DON'T BUILD A DAMN THING
11:53:18 UNLESS IT'S NEEDED.
11:53:21 THINK OF WHAT I JUST SAID.
11:53:24 IF THE CITY OF TAMPA WASN'T GROWING WOULD WE HAVE TALL
11:53:29 BUILDINGS?
11:53:29 I DON'T THINK SO. IF THE CITY OF TAMPA WAS AT A STANDSTILL,
11:53:34 WOULD YOU HAVE THE NEED FOR TRANSPORTATION?
11:53:35 I DON'T THINK SO.
11:53:39 YOU NEED TRANSPORTATION, AND IT'S KNOW IT THAT I WANT TO
11:53:41 DEVELOP, IT'S NOT THAT THE CITY WANTS TO DEVELOP, THE PEOPLE
11:53:43 ARE COMING HERE.
11:53:46 OF MY EIGHT GRANDCHILDREN, SIX HAVE GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE
11:53:49 SO FAR.
11:53:50 ALL SIX OF THEM HAVE COME BACK TO TAMPA.
11:53:54 TWO MORE PLAN TO STAY HERE.
11:53:56 YOU COULDN'T DO THAT 15, 20 YEARS AGO BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
11:54:00 OPPORTUNITY.
11:54:00 [BELL SOUNDS]
11:54:02 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIRMAN, I CAN STOP RIGHT NOW.
11:54:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANISCALCO?
11:54:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:54:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I AM GOING TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS BUT IT'S
11:54:11 GOING ON 12:00.
11:54:14 AND CTDV WANTS TO DO THEIR THING, AND THE PEOPLE ON THE
11:54:17 SECOND FLOOR AS WELL.
11:54:18 SO WE NEED TO BREAK FOR LUNCH AT 12, GENTLEMEN.
11:54:22 I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT, BUT I WANT TO TRY TO MOVE THIS ALONG.
11:54:26 WE HAVE A BUSY AGENDA TODAY.
11:54:28 BUT LET ME JUST SAY THIS IN REFERENCE TO THIS ITEM.
11:54:30 AND THIS IS THE OLD POLICEMAN TALKING.
11:54:38 WHAT IS GUIDING WAY CALL THE PROCESS IS MONEY.
11:54:45 MONEY, POWER.
11:54:51 I DON'T KNOW THE WORD MORATORIUM, I DON'T KNOW WHY THE PAPER
11:54:55 SAID MORATORIUM.
11:54:56 THIS BOARD NEVER SAID, AFTER WE CAME BACK MAKING DECISIONS,
11:55:01 TALKING ABOUT MORATORIUM.
11:55:02 SO MR. CARLSON WOULD BE RIGHT.
11:55:04 SO HERE COMES THAT INFECTION.
11:55:07 WHERE IT CAME FROM, NOW WE GOT EVERYBODY SAY, OH, WE GOT TO
11:55:10 STOP THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE DEVELOPERS AREN'T
11:55:14 GOING TO COME HERE AND SPEND MONEY, THIS AND THAT.
11:55:16 I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE RULES, MR. CITRUS, GOT ALL THIS MESS
11:55:22 GOING ON.
11:55:24 IT'S WHAT IT IS.
11:55:26 ALL FOR TRANSPORTATION.
11:55:27 BUT I AM GOING TO BE CANDID WITH YOU.
11:55:29 HAD WE HAD THOSE COMPROMISES WITH OTHER INDIVIDUAL, WE WOULD
11:55:34 HAVE HAD THAT MONEY THAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN BANKING ON FOR
11:55:37 DECADES AND SAYING, SOMETHING THEY AIN'T GOT.
11:55:43 GOT TO COMPROMISE SOMETIMES.
11:55:46 THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.
11:55:48 BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY SO WE COULDN'T COMPROMISE TO
11:55:50 HAVE ALL FOR TRANSPORTATION TO START BUILDING ROADS, START
11:55:53 DOING WHATEVER WE NEED, POTHOLES, WHATEVER WE GOT ON,
11:55:56 BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A COMPROMISE.
11:55:59 THINGS WOULD HAVE ALREADY -- OTHER COUNTIES ALREADY HAVE THE
11:56:03 SITUATION.
11:56:05 THE COURTS ALREADY RULED.
11:56:08 I LOOK AT THIS SITUATION HERE.
11:56:11 WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOUTH OF GANDY.
11:56:15 SOMEONE HAS YET TO TELL ME HOW CAN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PUT
11:56:19 SOMETHING IN PLACE FOR A CERTAIN AREA BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT?
11:56:25 AND I'M NOT A LAND USE LAWYER.
11:56:27 IT'S STILL NEW TO ME.
11:56:28 I'M STILL LEARNING, THE CODES, BUT YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT
11:56:33 SOMEBODY ELSE CAN DO SOMETHING THAT'S A HIGHER POWER THAN
11:56:38 YOU BUT YET WE CAN'T DO SOMETHING.
11:56:40 I STILL DON'T HAVE AN EXPLANATION ON THAT.
11:56:44 THEY ARE SAY SAME BOARD AS WE ARE, SAME LAND USE, I'M SURE
11:56:48 THE SAME TYPE OF CODE, THE COUNTY PER SE, BUT YOU CAN'T TELL
11:56:52 ME THAT WE CAN'T DO SOMETHING.
11:56:56 SOUTH OF GANDY, WITH DEVELOPERS, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE
11:57:00 DISAPPOINTED.
11:57:01 WE ARE NEVER GOING TO MAKE IT PERFECT YET.
11:57:03 WE HAVE ALREADY PUT THE FIRST STEPS TO GO DO IT PLANNING
11:57:06 COMMISSION TO GET THE WORK DONE.
11:57:12 IN JANUARY, FROM THE CALCULATION.
11:57:17 PERIOD.
11:57:17 SO SOMEBODY MAY BE UPSETTING BUT DON'T TELL ME THE CITY IS
11:57:23 GOING TO STOP GROWING AND NO ONE IS GOING TO COME HERE AND
11:57:27 ALL THAT STUFF.
11:57:28 I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ONE BIT.
11:57:29 EVERYBODY WANTS TO COME HERE.
11:57:31 SO LET'S STOP TRYING TO USE OUR MUSCLE AND MONEY TO DO
11:57:34 THINGS.
11:57:35 AND LET'S TRY TO WORK TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY, DEVELOPMENT
11:57:38 COMMUNITY AND SOUTH OF GANDY.
11:57:40 SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTED BUT LET'S MAKE THAT
11:57:44 DISAPPOINTMENT AS LESS PAINFUL AS WE CAN.
11:57:46 LEGAL SHOULD BE ASKING THE COUNTY WHAT DO THEY DO, HOW DO
11:57:49 THEY DO IT, BUT THEN, MR. DINGFELDER, THIS GREAT WORK HAS
11:57:55 COME UP, AND I TALK TO LAND USE PEOPLE.
11:57:59 INTENSIFY THOSE -- YOU ARE RIGHT.
11:58:04 THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
11:58:05 YOU ARE 100% RIGHT.
11:58:06 HERE IT IS.
11:58:06 MR. MIRANDA TALKED ABOUT THE RULES AND CODES.
11:58:09 MR. DINGFELDER HAS COME UP AND GIVEN IT TO US.
11:58:12 HERE IT IS.
11:58:16 WE CAN'T ARGUE THE POINT.
11:58:17 I MEAN, IT SAYS IT HERE.
11:58:19 UNTIL WE CAN COME UP WITH AN IDEA, CONSIDERABLE TO ALL.
11:58:27 MR. CITRO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
11:58:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ONE LAST WORD.
11:58:32 THE OFFICE OF LEGAL STAFF AND OTHER STAFF, ESPECIALLY MS.
11:58:37 FEELEY, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM FOR PUTTING ALL THE HARD
11:58:41 WORK INTO THIS JUST TO GIVE US THE INFORMATION.
11:58:42 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
11:58:43 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK EVERYONE HAS SAID THEIR PIECE.
11:58:52 IF THERE ARE ANY MOTIONS TO BE PUT ON THE TABLE I WILL
11:58:55 ACCEPT THEM NOW.
11:58:55 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CARLSON HAD THE FIRST MOTION BUT I
11:59:04 WILL BE GLAD TO GO SECOND.
11:59:08 >>BILL CARLSON: IT SOUND LIKE IT WILL BE QUICKLY DENIED BUT
11:59:11 I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DELAY THIS FOR TWO WEEKS
11:59:15 GEORGIA DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
11:59:16 A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY MR. CARLSON.
11:59:18 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WILL SECOND IT FOR PURPOSES OF
11:59:20 DISCUSSION.
11:59:21 EVERYBODY DESERVES A VOTE.
11:59:25 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER HAS SECONDED THE MOTION.
11:59:27 ALL IN FAVOR?
11:59:30 ROLL CALL?
11:59:32 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WAS GOING TO ASK IF THERE'S ANY
11:59:34 DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION.
11:59:34 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU ARE RIGHT.
11:59:37 ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION?
11:59:38 >>LUIS VIERA: I'M SORRY.
11:59:41 IF I MAY, WHEN COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER SECOND IT, SAID
11:59:46 EVERYONE DESERVES A VOTE, YOU WILL FIGHT FOR SOMEONE'S RIGHT
11:59:49 TO BE HEARD, SO THANK YOU.
11:59:50 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?
11:59:55 WE'LL TAKE A ROLL CALL VOTE.
11:59:57 MR. SHELBY.
11:59:58 >>LUIS VIERA: NO.
12:00:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RESPECTFULLY, NO.
12:00:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO.
12:00:06 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
12:00:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NO.
12:00:10 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO.
12:00:13 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NO.
12:00:14 >>THE CLERK: MOTION FAILED WITH EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR CARLSON
12:00:18 VOTING NO.
12:00:18 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
12:00:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
12:00:24 AS I STATED EARLIER, I PROVIDED THE TWO DOCUMENTS THIS
12:00:27 MORNING.
12:00:27 ONE IS THE ORDINANCE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF US ON ITEM 8.
12:00:34 AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS SPECIFICALLY I DON'T WANT TO CALL
12:00:39 THIS OUT, MR. SHELBY SUGGESTED I DO SO, SPECIFICALLY LAND
12:00:42 USE POLICY 5.1.9, WHICH IN THE HIGHLIGHTED YELLOW AREAS
12:00:48 IDENTIFIES THE TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS, AND I READ THOSE
12:00:53 INTO THE RECORD BEFORE DALE MABRY THROUGH WESTSHORE
12:00:59 BOULEVARD, NORTH OF KENNEDY.
12:01:02 I'M SPECIFICALLY MAKING REFERENCE TO THOSE.
12:01:04 AND MR. MIRANDA, I PROBABLY WASN'T CLEAR BEFORE.
12:01:08 WHAT I AM SAYING HERE IS THAT THE ORDINANCE -- I WANT STAFF
12:01:13 TO TAKE A FEW HOURS UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON TO MODIFY THE
12:01:16 ORDINANCE FOR FIRST READING, AND THE ORDINANCE WOULD NOT
12:01:20 INCLUDE ANY PROJECTS THAT ARE WITHIN ONE QUARTER WALKING
12:01:25 DISTANCE -- AND I SAY WALKING DISTANCE, NOT AS THE CROW
12:01:30 FLIES BUT WALKING DISTANCE -- FROM THESE MAJOR STREETS,
12:01:33 THESE MAJOR ROADWAYS, THESE MAJOR TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS
12:01:38 THAT ARE IDENTIFIED ON HERE.
12:01:39 SO THE FLIP SIDE IS, ANY PROPOSED PROJECTS THAT ARE WITHIN
12:01:48 THESE TRANSIT ORIENTED, TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS COULD GO
12:01:53 FORWARD USING THE F.A.R. AS INTENSE DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE
12:01:58 THEY ARE ON TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS, BUT THE OTHER SIDE
12:02:02 IS, LET'S NOT ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT IN THESE F.A.R. REMOVED
12:02:07 PLACES.
12:02:07 AND IT'S NOT JUST SOUTH OF GANDY, BUT THERE ARE SOME OTHER
12:02:12 FAR REMOVED PLACES THAT ARE NEVER GOING TO HAVE TRANSIT
12:02:16 EVER, AND THEY DON'T DESERVE TO USE THOSE F.A.R. NUMBERS.
12:02:19 THAT'S THE INTENT OF MY MOTION.
12:02:21 FITS NOT CLEAR PLEASE ASK ME.
12:02:23 AND MY MOTION IS TO ASK STAFF TO MAKE A SIMPLE, A SIMPLE
12:02:28 ADDITION TO THE ORDINANCE, WHICH IS TO EXEMPT ANY PROJECTS
12:02:34 WITHIN -- THAT ARE CALLED OUT WITHIN THAT LAND USE POLICY
12:02:39 5.1.9.
12:02:44 >>BILL CARLSON: AND I WILL SECOND IT SINCE HE SECONDED
12:02:46 MINE.
12:02:47 >>ORLANDO GUDES: CARLSON SECONDED IT.
12:02:51 YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
12:02:52 >>BILL CARLSON: DID YOU TALK TO THE SOG LEADERS? BECAUSE
12:02:56 GANDY, I THINK THEY WOULD NOTE LIKE GANDY AND DALE MABRY
12:02:59 INCLUDED IN THIS.
12:02:59 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I TALKED TO THEM YESTERDAY GENERICALLY
12:03:02 ABOUT TRYING NOT TO DO THE WHOLE CITY, OKAY?
12:03:06 AND SO THEN I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA.
12:03:09 I KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE THRILLED ABOUT INCLUDING
12:03:11 GANDY AND DALE MABRY, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
12:03:13 WE CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY ALL THE TIME.
12:03:15 WE CAN'T PLEASE ALL THE DEVELOPERS ALL THE TIME, AND I CAN'T
12:03:19 PLEASE MY GOOD FRIEND SOG ALL THE TIME.
12:03:22 >>BILL CARLSON: I DON'T SEE 7th AVENUE.
12:03:26 AM I MISSING IT?
12:03:28 IS YBOR IN THERE?
12:03:30 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT SAYS ADAMO DRIVE.
12:03:32 I THINK YBOR IN SOME WAYS IS TREATED DIFFERENTLY.
12:03:34 >> ARTERIAL ROADS.
12:03:43 >>BILL CARLSON: THERE'S ALSO THE REQUEST --
12:03:46 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE ALLOWED TO USE
12:03:48 F.A.R. IN YBOR, BILL.
12:03:51 AND STAFF CAN CLARIFY.
12:03:52 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MIRANDA -- YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
12:04:00 I SAW YOUR HAND.
12:04:01 >>CAROLE POST: I THINK THIS DISCUSSION ALONE I THINK IS
12:04:08 EVIDENCE THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK IN
12:04:11 TWO HOURS WHAT YOU ARE DISCUSSING AND BANTERING BACK AND
12:04:16 FORTH.
12:04:16 IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.
12:04:18 I ASSURE YOU ALL THAT WE CAN PREPARE A LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE
12:04:22 INTERIM DEVELOPMENT CONTROL ORDINANCE IN THAT SHORT PERIOD
12:04:25 OF TIME.
12:04:26 SO I THINK IT WOULD BE WISE TO MOVE FORWARD UP OR DOWN ON
12:04:30 THE ORDINANCE THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.
12:04:32 I THINK THAT MR. DINGFELDER'S POINTS AND THE POINTS RAISED
12:04:35 BY MR. COEN ARE GOOD ONES AS FAR AS THE TRANSIT EMPHASIS
12:04:39 CORRIDORS GO, AND MAYBE THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT YOU WANT
12:04:42 TO GIVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO THE
12:04:45 PERMANENT COMP PLAN AMENDMENT THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE UNDERWAY
12:04:49 THAT THEY LOOK AT EXEMPTING THOSE AREAS ON A PERMANENT
12:04:52 BASIS.
12:04:52 .
12:04:55 AND ALLOWING USE OF THE F.A.R. THERE.
12:04:57 I THINK THAT'S -- I THINK MR. DINGFELDER DID SOMETHING HE'S
12:05:05 ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT DOING, ON AN INTERIM BASIS, ALLOWING
12:05:08 MORE DENSE DEVELOPMENT ON A TRANSIT ORIENTED CORRIDOR.
12:05:14 I DON'T THINK WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK IN A
12:05:16 COUPLE OF HOURS WITH SOMETHING THAT'S NOT REAL CLEAR AT THIS
12:05:20 STAGE.
12:05:20 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN?
12:05:24 I WILL RESPECT MS. GRIMES REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL TIME.
12:05:27 I AM NOT VERY INTERESTED IN GIVING ANYBODY AN ADDITIONAL
12:05:33 YEAR, BECAUSE THE SOUTH OF GANDY FOLKS AND OTHER FOLKS IN
12:05:37 THE COMMUNITY, IT'S NOT JUST SOUTH OF GANDY.
12:05:39 WE HAVE BEEN GETTING HUNDREDS OF E-MAILS FROM FOLKS ALL
12:05:41 ACROSS THE CITY ON THE OVERINTENSIFICATION OF DEVELOPMENT IN
12:05:47 THIS CITY.
12:05:48 SO IT'S NOT JUST SOG.
12:05:50 BUT I WILL RESPECT MS. GRIMES REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL TIME,
12:05:54 AND SORT OF BIG I PACK ON MR. CARLSON'S MOTION EARLIER
12:05:58 MOTION, BUT WITH MORE SPECIFICITY THAT TWO WEEKS FROM NOW,
12:06:03 STAFF, WE WOULD REQUEST STAFF TO RESPOND AND COME BACK WITH
12:06:09 AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD INCORPORATE WHAT I JUST SAID.
12:06:11 AND I DON'T THINK I NEED TO REPEAT WHAT I SAID.
12:06:14 SO INSTEAD OF MY MOTION TO COME BACK -- CAN I FINISH?
12:06:21 INSTEAD OF MY MOTION TO COME BACK AFTER LUNCH, MY MOTION
12:06:28 WOULD BE TO COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS.
12:06:30 AND I THINK TWO WEEKS IS PLENTY OF TIME FOR THEM TO INCLUDE
12:06:32 THE VERY SIMPLE LANGUAGE THAT I SAID, AND IF THEY CAN'T DO
12:06:35 IT, I WILL DO IT MYSELF, THE VERY SIMPLE LANGUAGE I SAID
12:06:39 MODIFYING THIS ORDINANCE.
12:06:43 >>GINA GRIMES: I HAVE A QUESTION.
12:06:44 ISN'T THAT THE SAME AS JUST CONTINUING IT?
12:06:46 I THOUGHT THAT MOTION WAS JUST VOTED DOWN.
12:06:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT'S CONTINUING IT FOR A SPECIFIC
12:06:51 PURPOSE.
12:06:51 MR. CARLSON'S MOTION, I WILL RESPECTFULLY REPEAT IT, WAS TO
12:06:55 CONTINUE IT TO ALLOW STAFF TO CONVERT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
12:06:59 ET CETERA.
12:07:00 MY MOTION IS MUCH MORE SPECIFIC, MS. GRIMES, WITH A SPECIFIC
12:07:04 LANGUAGE INCLUSION TO COME BACK FOR FIRST READING WITH THAT
12:07:07 LANGUAGE INCLUDED.
12:07:11 AND I SAY IF IT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO RECOMMEND IT TO THE
12:07:14 PLANNING COMMISSION FOR A YEAR FROM NOW, THEN IT'S GOOD
12:07:17 ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN OUR TEMPORARY ORDINANCE.
12:07:25 >>GINA GRIMES: I HAVE TO DEGREE, POSTPONING IT FOR TWO WEEKS
12:07:29 TO MAKE THIS CHANGE WOULD RESOLVE EVERYONE'S ISSUES, I THINK
12:07:32 THAT WOULD BE A WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR.
12:07:34 BUT I HAVE TO AGREE WITH MR. GUDES IN THAT AT THE END,
12:07:39 THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMEONE WHO IS UNHAPPY WITH ALL OF THIS
12:07:42 SO I KNOW THAT EVERYONE IS TRYING VERY HARD TO PLEASE
12:07:46 EVERYONE, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT COMING BACK IN TWO WEEKS
12:07:50 WITH A MODIFIED VERSION IS GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
12:07:55 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WILL JUST SAY ONE FINAL THING.
12:07:57 WE CAN'T SOLVE EVERYTHING.
12:07:59 WE WOULD HAVE TO GO ON A PARCEL BY PARCEL BASIS ACROSS THE
12:08:03 WHOLE CITY TO TRY TO SOLVE EVERYTHING.
12:08:05 BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE KNOWN AS A COUNCIL THAT DOES
12:08:08 NOTHING, THE COUNCIL THAT DOESN'T RESPOND TO THESE E-MAILS
12:08:12 THAT ARE COMING AT US RIGHT AND LEFT.
12:08:15 THERE'S 15 E-MAILS TODAY ALONE.
12:08:19 IF THERE'S 10 E-MAILS FROM DEVELOPERS ATTORNEYS, BUT THERE'S
12:08:22 50 E-MAILS FROM REAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE REAL CONCERNS ABOUT THE
12:08:26 TRAFFIC AND THE EVACUATION ISSUES FACING US TODAY.
12:08:29 SO WITH THAT, I WILL RESTATE MY MOTION, IF I GET A SECOND,
12:08:34 IF I GET A VOTE, WHATEVER.
12:08:35 MY MOTION IS COME BACK FROM TWO WEEKS FROM NOW WITH THE
12:08:38 FIRST READING WITH THE EXACT SAME ORDINANCE BUT TO INCLUDE
12:08:41 AND MAKE REFERENCE TO LAND USE POLICY 5.1.9 AND EXCLUDE
12:08:46 THOSE PROPERTIES THAT ARE WITHIN ONE QUARTER MILE OF THE
12:08:50 TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS OF LAND USE POLICY 5.1.9.
12:08:56 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND DOES THE SECONDER OF THE MOTION AGREE
12:08:59 WITH THE RESTATEMENT?
12:09:00 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
12:09:07 >>CAROLE POST: IT'S CAROLE POST, ADMINISTRATOR FOR
12:09:09 DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
12:09:11 I RESPECT COUNCIL AND THE COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER IS TRYING TO
12:09:17 NAVIGATE THE COMPETING INTERESTS.
12:09:22 I THINK WE ALL HAVE BEEN, CERTAINLY RESPECT THE CONTINUED
12:09:26 EFFORTS.
12:09:27 I WOULD JUST REMIND COUNCIL THAT WE HAVE DONE THIS THREE
12:09:31 TIMES NOW IN TERMS OF GOING BACK, GOING BACK TO THE CITY,
12:09:35 TRYING TO UNDERSTAND EVERYONE'S ISSUES AND NAVIGATE AND FINE
12:09:38 TUNE THE LANGUAGE, AND WHILE I AGREE, WE WILL NEVER MAKE
12:09:43 EVERYONE HAPPY, I FEEL LIKE SPENDING ANOTHER TWO WEEKS, WE
12:09:50 WILL LIKELY END UP WHERE WE STARTED, WHICH IS A SOLUTION
12:09:56 THAT HAS PERHAPS UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
12:09:58 THAT SEEMS TO BE KIND OF OUR ACHILLES HEEL EACH TIME WE
12:10:03 THINK WE HAVE A WORKABLE SOLUTION WILL RESULT IN UNINTENDED
12:10:06 CONSEQUENCES.
12:10:07 AND I WOULD FINALLY OFFER THAT.
12:10:10 THIS IS NOT A COUNCIL THAT DOES NOTHING.
12:10:12 THE COUNCIL ADOPTED, ITS A RESOLUTION ON APRIL 1st,
12:10:20 PROCEEDED FASTER THAN NORMAL ACTUALLY WITH A COMP PLAN
12:10:23 AMENDMENT TO PERMANENTLY ADDRESS THE F.A.R., WHICH IS WHAT
12:10:26 THE SOUTH OF GANDY NEIGHBORHOOD REPRESENTATIVES REQUESTED US
12:10:29 TO DO DURING THAT TAMPA CITY COUNCIL HALL MEETING, AND MOST
12:10:33 OF THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY THAT WAS REPRESENTED THERE THAT
12:10:35 DAY AGREED WITH IT, RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S JUST ONE STEP OF
12:10:40 MANY, BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT STEP, AND IT IS ALSO A STEP THAT
12:10:44 IS A DELIBERATE MEASURED PROCESS THAT HAS FULL THROATED
12:10:50 COMMUNITY AND OUTREACH ENGAGEMENT, PUBLIC HEARINGS, AND
12:10:53 FEEDBACK, SO THAT IT CAN BE FINE TUNED OVER TIME
12:11:00 SO I JUST OFFER THAT FOR CONSIDERATION.
12:11:02 THANK YOU.
12:11:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER.
12:11:06 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MS. POST.
12:11:08 THE REALITY IS THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE ELIMINATING F.A.R. IN
12:11:14 THESE TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS.
12:11:17 THOSE ARE THE AREAS THAT WE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING INTENSE
12:11:21 GROWTH.
12:11:21 THOSE ARE THE AREAS UP AND DOWN KENNEDY BOULEVARD AND SOME
12:11:26 OF THESE OTHER PLACES WHERE WE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING THE
12:11:29 DENSITY, AND THAT WAY THE DENSITIES GO DOWN WHERE IT
12:11:34 SHOULDN'T BE, IN PLACES THAT ARE REMOTE AND CAUSE TRAFFIC
12:11:40 AND EVACUATION ISSUES AND OTHER CONSEQUENCES THAT WE DON'T
12:11:44 WANT.
12:11:45 AND MS. POST, YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW
12:11:48 HOW WE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING DENSITY ALONG THESE TRANSIT
12:11:52 EMPHASIS CORRIDORS.
12:11:54 SO I THINK WE ARE SAYING THE SAME THING, THAT IN THE SHORT
12:11:56 TERM, YOU ARE SAYING IT IN THE LONG-TERM, BECAUSE I KNOW
12:11:59 OVER THE NEXT YEAR PEOPLE INCLUDING YOURSELVES ARE GOING TO
12:12:03 SAY, NOW WHAT?
12:12:04 LET'S ELIMINATE F.A.R. IN SOME PLACES BUT NOT OTHER PLACES
12:12:08 AND THESE WHAT I AM SAYING EXCEPT I AM SAYING LET'S DO IT IN
12:12:10 THE SHORT TERM, TOO, BECAUSE IF WE DON'T THESE PROPERTIES
12:12:13 ARE GOING TO COME IN FOR REZONING, THEY ARE GOING TO STICK
12:12:16 THEIR CAMEL'S NOSE UNDER THE TENT AND COME IN FOR REZONING
12:12:20 NOW.
12:12:20 THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE THIS TYPE OF INTERIM DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
12:12:23 ORDINANCE, TO PREVENT THAT IN AREAS THAT ARE INAPPROPRIATE.
12:12:28 THAT'S WHAT MY MOTION IS.
12:12:29 AND I GOT A SECOND.
12:12:30 AND I APPRECIATE IT.
12:12:32 >>CAROLE POST: IF I MAY JUST RESPOND TO THAT BRIEFLY.
12:12:37 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MS. POST, LET ME GO TO MR. VIERA.
12:12:41 >>LUIS VIERA: AND I DON'T MIND MS. POST GOING FIRST, UNLESS
12:12:45 YOU WANT ME TO GO BEFORE.
12:12:47 BUT I DON'T MIND.
12:12:48 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT, MS. POST, GO AHEAD.
12:12:50 >>CAROLE POST: I APPRECIATE IT.
12:12:52 JUST TO BRIEFLY RESPOND, WE CERTAINLY DO AGREE THAT THERE
12:12:55 ARE MANY AREAS OF THE CITY WHERE INTENSITY AND DENSITY ARE
12:12:59 BOTH APPROPRIATE AND DESIRED, AND THAT IS OUR PLAN AS WELL.
12:13:06 THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROACHED ME TO SET THAT OUT AND
12:13:11 TODAY, THE REASON WHY WE DO NOT NECESSARILY SUPPORT THIS
12:13:15 TODAY IS THAT THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS, SOME WOULD BE
12:13:21 ULTIMATE LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS.
12:13:23 THE BONUS OPTIONS REMAIN IN PLACE, MIXED USE OPTIONS, THESE
12:13:29 ARE ALL TOOLS THAT CAN BE USED TO ACHIEVE THOSE DENSITIES
12:13:33 WITHOUT F.A.R., NOT SUGGESTING THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION
12:13:39 CHANGES MAY NOT HAVE ADAPTATION AND REFINEMENT, BUT WITH OR
12:13:43 WITHOUT THEM, THERE REMAINS AN ARRAY OF TOOLS AVAILABLE IN
12:13:47 THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, IN THE CITY, TO DRIVE DENSITY AND
12:13:51 INTENSITY WHERE WE DESIRE IT.
12:13:53 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
12:13:59 WITH REGARD TO THIS PROPOSAL THAT COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER PUT
12:14:02 FORWARD, THIS MAY BE SOMETHING THAT I COULD SUPPORT DOWN THE
12:14:05 LINE AND WANTED TO LOOK AT IT FURTHER.
12:14:07 I SEE HERE, FOR EXAMPLE, BRUCE B. DOWNS BEING INCLUDED IN
12:14:10 HERE, AND AREA WHERE TONS AND TONS OF BUILDING
12:14:13 INTENSIFICATION, ET CETERA, WOULD HAVE TO HONESTLY PROBABLY
12:14:16 SPEND MORE TIME ON THIS.
12:14:18 WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS TO JUST HAVE AN UP OR DOWN VOTE
12:14:22 ON NUMBER 8, AND THEN MAYBE WE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, AND SEE
12:14:27 IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO ADDRESS.
12:14:30 AGAIN, I THINK WE CAN HAVE BOTH, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, THIS
12:14:35 COMES BEFORE US, AND WE INVESTIGATE IT, DO THE PROPER
12:14:37 RESEARCH, ET CETERA, ON IT, WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, JUMPING INTO
12:14:41 IT RIGHT NOW, AND WE DEAL WITH NUMBER 8, IF NUMBER 8 FAILS.
12:14:45 AND NUMBER 8 PASSED LAST TIME, SO THERE YOU GO.
12:14:48 BUT JUST MY THOUGHTS.
12:14:49 THANK YOU.
12:14:50 >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET ME ASK MS. POST OR MRS. GRIMES, I
12:14:57 HAVEN'T GOTTEN AN ANSWER. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THE COUNTY WAS
12:15:00 ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY DO WITH DEVELOPMENT, AND CARVE OUT A
12:15:04 SECTION, BUT YET WE HEARD THAT WE CAN'T DO THAT.
12:15:08 CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO THAT TO ME?
12:15:14 >>GINA GRIMES: THE REASON IS THEY HAVE THE -- MORATORIUM IN
12:15:19 A AREA BUT AS DEMONSTRATED TO YOU ON APRIL 1st IS USE OF
12:15:24 THE F.A.R. INCREASED THE COMP PLAN DENSE DIS, EIGHTS
12:15:27 CITY-WIDE PROBLEM, SO WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA TO SUPPORT
12:15:30 IMPLEMENTING COMP PLAN AMENDMENT AND A MORATORIUM IN JUST
12:15:34 ONE SECTION OF THE CITY, WHEN YOU HAVE A CITY-WIDE PROBLEM.
12:15:37 >>ORLANDO GUDES: OKAY.
12:15:42 SO GO BACK TO THE DATA.
12:15:44 >>CAROLE POST: MR. CHAIRMAN GUDES, AND COUNCIL, JUST TO
12:15:50 REITERATE ONE POINT THAT MAY BE RELEVANT IS THAT THE FIRST
12:15:53 STEP OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION PROCESS ACTUALLY END THE
12:16:00 25th, RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
12:16:02 THAT IS THE FIRST OF STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS ON THE PLAN
12:16:05 AMENDMENT.
12:16:06 SO IT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNE TIME TO BEGIN THIS DISCUSSION IN
12:16:10 CONCERT WITH THE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS.
12:16:12 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THIS.
12:16:17 IF WE VOTE THIS UP OR DOWN, AND IT'S VOTED DOWN,
12:16:25 ARE WE SAYING THAT -- LOOK AT MR. DINGFELDER'S IDEA TO SEND
12:16:32 TO LEGAL, AND POSSIBLE TO GET THE ORDINANCE?
12:16:37 THAT'S WHAT I WAS KIND OF HEARING.
12:16:38 >>BILL CARLSON: DO WE DO HIS MOTION FIRST?
12:16:42 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: PROCEDURALLY, MR. SHELBY CAN PROBABLY
12:16:46 SPEAK TO IT, BUT I THINK IF I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND ON
12:16:49 THE FLOOR, IT TAKES PREEM EVENINGS OVER ITEM 8 AS IT STANDS,
12:16:55 AND FRANKLY THAT WILL BE MY PREFERENCE.
12:16:57 BECAUSE IT'S A SUBSTITUTE FOR ITEM 8.
12:17:00 SO WHY DON'T WE MAKE ITEM 8 THAT, AND THAT'S WHAT I AM
12:17:05 TRYING TO DO.
12:17:06 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY MORE DISCUSSION BEFORE A VOTE?
12:17:11 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY.
12:17:12 I'M A STREET GUY.
12:17:13 BUT I DON'T THINK YOU CAN TIE THIS INTO ITEM 8 AND SAY THE
12:17:16 SAME THING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME CONTEXT AS ITEM
12:17:19 8 ON THIS AGENDA.
12:17:20 AND I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY.
12:17:21 I DON'T PLAN TO BE ONE EITHER.
12:17:26 AND THIS AGENDA READS DIFFERENTLY THAN THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION
12:17:29 OR THE NEW SUBSTITUTE MOTION COMING ON.
12:17:31 SO YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S ITEM NUMBER 8.
12:17:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CAN I CLARIFY THAT, MR. MIRANDA?
12:17:38 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES, SIR.
12:17:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I AGREE WITH YOU.
12:17:42 WHEN STAFF TAKES THIS AND MASSAGES IT AND INCORPORATES IT,
12:17:47 THIS POLICY, THIS LAND USE POLICY, AND THE EXCEPTIONS THAT I
12:17:51 AM TALKING ABOUT, AND COMBS BACK TWO WEEKS FROM NOW, IT WILL
12:17:54 BE A MODIFIED ITEM 8.
12:17:58 AS IT IS TODAY, NO, ITEM 8 DOESN'T SPEAK TO THESE ITEMS
12:18:02 BECAUSE THESE ITEMS DIDN'T COME UP UNTIL I BROUGHT THEM UP.
12:18:05 BUT THAT'S WHY WE ARE -- AND THE INTENT MIGHT HAVE MOTION IS
12:18:09 TO GIVE LEGAL, STAFF, TWO WEEKS TO COME BACK TO US AND GIVE
12:18:13 US -- AND IT'S REALLY NOT A BIG MODIFICATION.
12:18:16 I MEAN, IT'S REALLY INSERTING TWO PARAGRAPHS.
12:18:19 SO THAT'S THE INTENT OF MY MOTION.
12:18:25 I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET A VOTE ON MY MOTION, SO WE CAN
12:18:29 JUST MOVE ON IT.
12:18:30 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT YOU HAVE IS A MOTION TO CONTINUE TO W
12:18:37 SPECIFIC MOTION TO STAFF.
12:18:38 ULTIMATELY THE MOTION WILL BE VOTED UP OR DOWN.
12:18:41 THE MOTION WILL BE IN ORDER.
12:18:42 AND THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS IF THE MOTION DOES FAIL THEN A
12:18:46 MOTION ON FIRST READING, OR A MOTION TO NOT GO TO FIRST
12:18:53 READING WOULD THEN BE IN ORDER.
12:18:54 IT'S UP TO COUNCIL.
12:18:56 SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO TAKE THE MOTION THAT'S ON THE
12:18:59 FLOOR WITH THE SECOND BEFORE YOU MOVE ON.
12:19:03 BUT BOTH COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER I
12:19:09 BELIEVE ARE BOTH CORRECT.
12:19:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY MR.
12:19:13 DINGFELDER.
12:19:14 SECOND BY MR. CARLSON.
12:19:15 MS. GRIMES, I SAW YOUR HAND UP REAL QUICK.
12:19:19 >>GINA GRIMES: I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
12:19:20 I STILL AM NOT CLEAR WHAT IT IS, WHAT DIRECTION YOU ARE
12:19:23 TRYING TO GIVE STAFF.
12:19:24 YOU TALKED ABOUT THE TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS BEING
12:19:27 EXCLUDED, BUT IS DALE MABRY EXCLUDED?
12:19:30 IS PARTS OF NEW TAMPA EXCLUDED?
12:19:32 SOME COUNCILMEN WANTED IT INCLUDED.
12:19:35 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: LET ME CLARIFY.
12:19:39 I'M SORRY.
12:19:40 BUT LET ME CLARIFY, GINA.
12:19:43 YOU HAVE GOT A COPY OF THIS FROM MR. GARRETT THIS MORNING
12:19:47 AND I AM SORRY IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU.
12:19:49 I APOLOGIZE.
12:19:50 BUT THIS DOCUMENT SPECIFICALLY LAND USE POLICY 5.1.9 WHICH
12:19:55 IS IN FRONT OF ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS IDENTIFIES ABOUT A DOZEN
12:19:59 MAJOR ROADS THAT ARE LAND USE POLICY IN OUR COMP PLANS
12:20:05 DESCRIBES AS TRANSIT TAMPA SIS CORRIDORS.
12:20:08 WHAT I AM SAYING IS -- EMPHASIS CORRIDORS.
12:20:13 WHAT I AM SAYING INSTEAD OF THIS COMPREHENSIVE BROAD BRUSH
12:20:16 APPROACH THAT IS FRONT OF US ON ITEM 8 IN REGARD TO THE
12:20:18 ORDINANCE THAT'S PENDING, I AM TRYING TO CARVE OUT A HUGE
12:20:22 AMOUNT OF THE CITY THAT THE SO-CALLED MORATORIUM WOULD NOT
12:20:27 APPLY TO, WOULD NOT APPLY TO.
12:20:30 SO WE ARE SHRINKING DOWN ITEM 8, TREMENDOUSLY, TO EXCLUDE
12:20:35 ALL OF THESE DOZEN ROAD CORRIDORS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN
12:20:39 5.1.9, AND ANY PROPERTY THAT'S WITHIN A QUARTER MILE WALKING
12:20:45 DISTANCE, WALKING DISTANCE, FROM THOSE CORRIDORS.
12:20:49 SO I AM DOING EXACTLY WHAT ALL THOSE LAND USE ATTORNEYS
12:20:53 ASKED FOR, OKAY?
12:20:54 AND FRANKLY, I THINK IT WILL HELP THE SOUTH OF GANDY FOLKS,
12:21:00 TOO, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PROPERTY DOWN THERE THAT IS
12:21:05 NOT WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF GANDY AND NOT WITHIN A QUARTER
12:21:08 MILE WALKING OF DALE MABRY.
12:21:09 AND THOSE WOULD BE THE PROPERTIES THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED BY
12:21:13 THIS ORDINANCE.
12:21:15 AND I AM NOT SAYING IT'S PEST.
12:21:17 NOTHING IS PERFECT.
12:21:18 BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE RESPONDED TO THE COMMUNITY AND WE ARE
12:21:21 TRYING TO DO SOMETHING IN THE SHORT TERM WHILE STAFF IS
12:21:23 TRYING TO DO SOMETHING IN THE LONG-TERM.
12:21:25 AND THAT'S THE INTENT OF MY MOTION.
12:21:26 >>GINA GRIMES: I GUESS WHAT I AM CONFUSED ABOUT IS THAT'S
12:21:31 DIFFERENT FROM THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN
12:21:33 ADVANCED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
12:21:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RIGHT.
12:21:35 MODIFY --
12:21:37 >>GINA GRIMES: UNDER THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, I CAN
12:21:40 RECOLLECT ON SOIL THAT.
12:21:42 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND WE WOULD MODIFY OUR MOTION TO THE
12:21:44 COMP PLAN TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACCORDINGLY IF THIS
12:21:47 PASSES.
12:21:48 >>GINA GRIMES: I THINK THAT'S BEEN THE WHOLE, I THINK,
12:21:52 UNCERTAINTY WITH MORATORIUM, IS YOU HAVE A COMP PLAN THEMED
12:21:56 THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE AND LIKELY GOING TO BE MADE, SO
12:22:00 THAT'S WHY A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS ARE CONNECTING -- OBJECTING
12:22:04 TO THE MORATORIUM BECAUSE THE MORATORIUM IS DIFFERENT THAN
12:22:07 WHAT WILL ULTIMATELY BE ADOPTED.
12:22:10 AND THAT IS THE DOWN SIDE TO ADOPTING THE MORATORIUM BEFORE
12:22:17 THE ORDINANCE, THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, HAS GONE THROUGH THE
12:22:21 PROCESS AND HAS BEEN MODIFIED AND ADJUSTED TO MEET
12:22:25 EVERYBODY'S CONCERNS.
12:22:27 SO YOU ARE IMPOSING AN ORDINANCE RIGHT NOW, A MORATORIUM, ON
12:22:32 DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY ULTIMATELY BE PERMITTED UNDER THE COMP
12:22:37 PLAN AMENDMENT THAT'S EVENTUALLY ADOPTED.
12:22:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BUT THAT'S WHAT ITEM 8 WOULD HAVE DONE.
12:22:44 I AM JUST SHRINKING IT DOWN TREMENDOUSLY.
12:22:46 I AM SHRINKING THE IMPACT OF ITEM 8 TREMENDOUSLY, MASSIVELY,
12:22:51 OKAY, BY EXEMPTING THESE CORRIDORS.
12:22:56 AND MR. CHAIRMAN, I AGREE WITH YOU, I THINK WE SHOULD LET'S
12:23:00 JUST GET A VOTE AND BE DONE WITH IT.
12:23:02 IF IT PASSES THEN WE DIRECTED LEGAL STAFF TO DO IT.
12:23:05 IF IT DOESN'T, LET'S MOVE ON.
12:23:07 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: AND THIS IS MY LAST CONVERSATION ON THIS
12:23:11 ITEM.
12:23:11 I AM NOT AGAINST WHAT MR. DINGFELDER HAS BROUGHT UP.
12:23:14 BUT I WANT TO BE AS LEGALLY CORRECT 110% AS POSSIBLE.
12:23:20 WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S THE SAME BUT IS
12:23:22 DIFFERENT, AND THE APPROACH.
12:23:24 IT'S THE SAME TEXT WITH A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THE
12:23:28 CONVERSATION, JUST SETTLED BY BOTH SIDES.
12:23:31 THIS SIDE, RIGHT OR LEFT, LEFT OR RIGHT, SO THEY CAN COME TO
12:23:35 A CONCLUSION.
12:23:36 HOWEVER, WHEN YOU ASK THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO COME BACK WITH
12:23:38 A NEW ORDINANCE WITHIN TWO WEEKS, THAT MEANS WE WORKSHOP
12:23:42 EVERYTHING.
12:23:44 IF SOMEBODY GET A OH COLD WE CALL FOR A WORK SHOWN.
12:23:49 HOWEVER LET'S LET THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT THAT I AM 110% SO
12:23:53 LATER ON WE DON'T GET BIT AND SAY, OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS
12:23:56 WAS HAPPENING, TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT MR. DINGFELDER BROUGHT
12:23:58 IN, AND NOT A BAD IDEA, IT'S A GREAT IDEA THAT IS LEGALLY
12:24:03 SATISFIED.
12:24:03 WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN TWO WEEKS COME BACK WITHOUT A
12:24:06 WORKSHOP, THE PUBLIC USUALLY DOESN'T HAVE THE RATE TO SPEAK
12:24:11 AT FIRST, ON THE FIRST HEARING OF THE CONSIDERATION.
12:24:13 SO THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE TIME WHEN IT COMES BACK TWO
12:24:18 WEEKS LATER.
12:24:19 SO WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING AND
12:24:21 SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE BOTH SIDES ARE GOING TO BE
12:24:23 CRITICIZED FOR NOT HAVING A PROPER TIME AND A PROPER THEATER
12:24:27 TO FLESH OUT THESE THINGS AND WORK THEM OUT.
12:24:30 I AM NOT AGAINST WHAT MR. DINGFELDER SAID.
12:24:32 I DON'T WANT -- I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE 1,000%
12:24:36 CORRECT.
12:24:36 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
12:24:39 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I DON'T THINK WE ARE EVER GOING TO BE A
12:24:41 THOUSAND PERCENT CORRECT.
12:24:43 BUT I THINK AGAIN I SAY WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE EVERYBODY
12:24:48 HAPPY.
12:24:49 WE MAY COME CLOSE.
12:24:51 BUT IN MY MIND, WHAT I AM HEARING, WHEN I LOOK AT THE
12:24:54 DOCUMENT, MR. DINGFELDER HAS SUBMITTED, HE HAS VALID POINTS.
12:25:01 AGAIN, YOU SAY LEGALLY.
12:25:02 WE HAVE TO GET THE FACTS TO MAKE SURE WE DO WHAT WE NEED TO
12:25:05 DO TO MAKE IT LEGAL OR MAKE IT WORK.
12:25:07 RIGHT NOW WE ARE NO SITUATION, UP OR DOWN.
12:25:10 DO WE SEND IT ALL BACK AND TRY TO SEE IF THEY CAN -- SEE IF
12:25:15 IT CAN LEGALLY WORK AND BRING THE ORDINANCE BACK AND HAVE A
12:25:18 WORKSHOP OR HAVE WHATEVER WHETHER THE PUBLIC IS GOING TO GO
12:25:25 FOR IT OR NOT, DEVELOPERS GO FOR IT OR NOT, BUT AT THE END
12:25:28 OF THE DAY, SOMEBODY STILL ISN'T GOING TO BE HAPPY.
12:25:32 PERIOD.
12:25:33 MR. CARLSON.
12:25:34 >>BILL CARLSON: THIS WILL BE MY FINAL COMMENT ON THIS
12:25:36 TOPIC.
12:25:36 MR. DINGFELDER, I THINK YOU USED THE RIGHT TERM EARLIER.
12:25:40 UNFORTUNATELY WE THINK CAN'T TALK OUTSIDE OF THIS ROOM
12:25:42 BECAUSE OF SUNSHINE.
12:25:43 WE ASKED FOR BASED ON THE DEMANDS OF THE SOUTH OF GANDY
12:25:47 FOLKS, WE ASKED FOR A SOUTH OF GANDY SOLUTION, THAT
12:25:51 SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED A CERTAIN PROBLEM, AND WE HAVE GOT A
12:25:53 SOLUTION NOW THAT IS A POISON PILL.
12:25:56 AND THE DEVELOPERS ARE MAD THAT PEOPLE SOUTH OF GANDY ARE
12:25:59 NOT HAPPY, THEY ARE JUST GOING ALONG WITH IT, THE QUESTION
12:26:02 HERE IS WHETHER WE IMPLEMENT IT NOW OR WAIT.
12:26:06 EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT DURING THAT PROCESS -- AND I BELIEVE IN
12:26:08 PUBLIC INPUT AND PUBLIC PROCESS -- BUT IN THAT PROCESS,
12:26:13 PEOPLE WHO ARE ARMED WELL HAVE LOTS OF MONEY ARE GOING TO
12:26:16 INFLUENCE THAT PROCESS MORE THAN THE AVERAGE CITIZEN, AND
12:26:19 WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT ENDS UP.
12:26:20 I THINK IT WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW.
12:26:22 WAY PREDICT LISTENING TO THE LANGUAGE OF EVERYONE THIS
12:26:25 MORNING AND LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM, I THINK THAT THIS
12:26:28 MOTION IS GOING -- THAT YOU JUST MADE IS GOING TO FAIL.
12:26:32 I THINK THAT THE MOTION FOR NUMBER 8 IS GOING TO FAIL.
12:26:36 AND SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO PREEMPTIVELY SAY TO THE CITIZENS
12:26:40 SOUTH OF GANDY, WE AS A CITY COUNCIL, I THINK, UNANIMOUSLY
12:26:44 ASKED FOR A SOLUTION SOUTH OF GANDY.
12:26:45 WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US IS SOMETHING THAT THE BROADER
12:26:48 COMMUNITY PEOPLE AND N OTHER PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY,
12:26:51 INDIVIDUAL LAND OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS DON'T LIKE, AND THEY
12:26:53 DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT IT AFFECTS THEM INSTEAD OF JUST
12:26:57 SOUTH OF GANDY, AND BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE PUT
12:27:00 INTO THIS PROPOSAL WE PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE VOTES TO GET
12:27:03 ANYTHINGS PASSED.
12:27:04 SO I DON'T LIKE IT.
12:27:07 I HAVE BEEN IN FAVOR OF DENSITY DEVELOPMENT MY WHOLE LIFE.
12:27:09 I DON'T LIKE THIS PROPOSAL.
12:27:11 BUT MY CONSTITUENTS HAVE ASKED ME TO VOTE FOR IT.
12:27:14 SO I WAS ELECTED TO REPRESENT THEM, AND I AM GOING TO VOTE
12:27:17 THE WAY THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO VOTE.
12:27:20 BUT IF THIS FAILS, WHICH IF NUMBER 8 FAILS WHICH I THINK IT
12:27:25 WILL, I WOULD ASK STAFF ESPECIALLY IN THE MEETING WITH THE
12:27:28 MAYOR THIS COMING WEEK TO PLEASE THINK OF A SOLUTION AND
12:27:30 COME BACK, BECAUSE THIS AFTERNOON STARTING THIS AFTERNOON WE
12:27:34 ARE GOING TO GET THOUSANDS OF MORE E-MAILS AND IT'S NOT
12:27:37 GOING TO STOP FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
12:27:39 THANK YOU.
12:27:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CAN I CLARIFY MY MOTION?
12:27:45 >>JOSEPH CITRO: GO AHEAD.
12:27:47 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, SIR.
12:27:48 MY MOTION DOESN'T COMMIT YOU TO VOTING YES ON FIRST READING.
12:27:52 MY MOTION, MR. MIRANDA SPECIFICALLY, MY MOTION SAYS LET'S
12:27:58 DIRECT STAFF TO INCORPORATE THIS LAND USE POLICY THAT I HAVE
12:28:03 SPOKEN TO TEN TIMES NOW, INCORPORATE IT INTO THE ORDINANCE,
12:28:09 AND BRING IT BACK FOR FIRST READING IN TWO WEEKS.
12:28:13 AT THAT POINT IN TIME WE WILL GET PLENTY OF INPUT, WE'LL GET
12:28:17 PLENTY OF STAFF INPUT, WE'LL GET PLENTY OF LEGAL INPUT.
12:28:20 IF LEGAL SAYS WE ARE TOTALLY OFFBASE I AM SURE THEY WON'T BE
12:28:24 SHY IN TELLING US, OKAY.
12:28:26 BUT THAT'S WHAT MY MOTION IS.
12:28:28 SO JUST A VOTE TODAY TO SAY, HMMM, DINGFELDER, MAYBE THAT'S
12:28:33 NOT A BAD APPROACH, LET'S LOOK AT IN THE TWO WEEKS AND I CAN
12:28:38 ASSURE YOU IT'S NOT A HUGE AMOUNT OF WORK.
12:28:40 OKAY.
12:28:42 IT'S PUTTING IN A COUPLE EXTRA PARAGRAPHS TO WHAT WE HAVE
12:28:46 ALREADY DONE.
12:28:46 SO THAT WOULD BE MY REQUEST.
12:28:48 AND TWO WEEKS FROM NOW IF WE DON'T LIKE IT WE CAN VOTE IT
12:28:50 DOWN.
12:28:51 >>RANDY GOERS: CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
12:29:00 JUST TO SHED SOME LIGHT.
12:29:01 THE ADDITION OF MOVING THE ORDINANCE AROUND THE PRIMARY
12:29:06 TRANSIT CORRIDORS, ESPECIALLY DOWN IN GANDY OR DALE MABRY,
12:29:09 IS COUNTER TO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN HEARING THROUGHOUT THE
12:29:13 PROCESS AS FAR AS WHERE A ROAD SHOULD GO AND WE CAN GO BACK
12:29:18 TO ALL THE WORKSHOPS THAT WE HEARD PAST AUGUST, AND ALSO THE
12:29:24 COMMUNITY'S CONCERN ABOUT WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS ROLL CALL
12:29:27 VOTE -- LOCATED ALONG GANDY AND DALE MABRY, AND IN HURRICANE
12:29:33 TIME AND SO FORTH, SO THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF THE TRANSIT
12:29:39 CORRIDORS DOES BRING US, I THINK, TO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
12:29:42 DISCUSSING ALL ALONG, EVEN THOUGH IT NARROWS THE SCOPE OF
12:29:47 THE INTERIM DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
12:29:49 I THINK COMING FROM MY PROFESSIONAL PLANNING EXPERIENCE IS
12:29:52 THAT THE DIRECTION THAT COUNCIL GAVE A FEW WEEKS AGO TO
12:29:59 PROCESS A PLAN AMENDMENT IS THE PROPER PLACE TO HANDLE THOSE
12:30:02 KIND OF DISCUSSIONS.
12:30:03 IT WILL GIVE THE COMMUNITY, IT GIVES THE STAFF, IT WILL GIVE
12:30:08 YOU AS CITY COUNCIL THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY LOOK AT THE
12:30:13 APPLICATION OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
12:30:16 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LONG RANGE PLANNING. IT WILL ALSO
12:30:20 PROVIDE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN MISSING
12:30:22 THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS, AND THAT IS A PLACE WHERE THE
12:30:28 COMMUNITY CAN COME AND ALL THE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND COME TO
12:30:31 CONSENSUS, BUT EVERY TIME WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE
12:30:34 ORDINANCE, A NEW SUGGESTION COMES UP.
12:30:37 BECAUSE OF A SPECIAL INTEREST.
12:30:40 AND ALTHOUGH I CAN'T PREDICT THE FUTURE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE
12:30:43 PAST, TWO WEEKS FROM NOW WE MAY COME BACK WITH ANOTHER
12:30:46 OPTION TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
12:30:49 SO I DO WANT TO CAUTION OR AT LEAST RAISE THE ISSUE THAT IF
12:30:53 BUILDING THE ORDINANCE AROUND THE PRIMARY TRANSIT CORRIDOR
12:30:56 ESPECIALLY ALONG GANDY AND DALE MABRY SETS US ON A DIRECTION
12:31:00 THAT WAS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE ENVISIONED, SO I JUST WANT
12:31:03 TO RAISE THAT.
12:31:04 AND I DO BELIEVE THE PLANNING PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN
12:31:07 PLACE WHICH YOU INITIATED IS I THINK THE PROPER PLACE TO
12:31:13 HANDLE THAT.
12:31:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN?
12:31:20 RANDY, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT -- AND I HAVE KNOWN YOU
12:31:25 20-SOMETHING YEARS, MR. CARLSON AND MYSELF AND MAYBE SOME
12:31:28 OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS, I TALKED TO THESE PEOPLE SOUTH OF
12:31:31 GANDY LIKE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK ABOUT THIS ISSUE INCLUDING
12:31:35 YESTERDAY.
12:31:37 SO I AM VERY, VERY AWARE OF THEIR SENSITIVITIES AND THEIR
12:31:40 DESIRES AND THAT SORT OF THING.
12:31:43 IF I THOUGHT THIS WAS 100% COUNTER TO WHAT THEY WANT, THEN I
12:31:46 WOULDN'T BE DOING THIS.
12:31:49 I TOOK A VERY CLOSE LOOK AT THE MAP THAT WAS UP ON OUR
12:31:53 SCREEN EARLIER.
12:31:54 MR. RANDY COEN PUT UP ON THERE.
12:31:57 OKAY.
12:31:57 IT SPECIFICALLY LOOKED AT SOG.
12:32:02 ALL RIGHT.
12:32:02 AND YES, THERE'S A FEW OPPORTUNITIES ALONG GANDY BOULEVARD,
12:32:05 AND THERE'S A FEW OPPORTUNITIES ALONG SOUTH DALE MABRY THAT
12:32:10 STILL MATE COME INTO PLAY.
12:32:12 AND WE CAN DEAL WITH THOSE WHEN THEY COME INTO US FOR
12:32:15 REZONING.
12:32:16 BUT THE ONE THING THAT STAFF HAS NOT PROPOSING IS STAFF,
12:32:20 WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, EVERYBODY FROM LEGAL THROUGH MS. POST
12:32:26 ALL THE WAY DOWN, STAFF IS NOT OFFERING ANY SHORT-TERM
12:32:29 SOLUTIONS TO STOP THESE REZONINGS FROM COMING IN.
12:32:33 I AM USING THE F.A.R. AND THESE BIG INTENSIVE APARTMENT
12:32:37 COMPLEXES.
12:32:38 AND I KNOW I SOUND A LITTLE UPSET.
12:32:40 MY WIFE ALWAYS WARNS ME NOT TO SOUND UPSET.
12:32:43 BUT STAFF HAS NOT BEEN OFFERING ANY SHORT-TERM SOLUTIONS.
12:32:47 THE ONLY SOLUTION MR. GARRETT YOU PROPOSED WHEN WE TALKED
12:32:50 ABOUT THIS A MONTH AGO WAS YOU SAID, YES, WE ARE GOING TO DO
12:32:53 THIS IN A YEAR AND WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS IN 18 MONTHS, AND
12:32:56 WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THAT'S THE WORLD THAT YOU OPERATE IN.
12:33:00 BUT THESE CITIZENS WHO ARE WRITING TO US, THAT'S NOT THE
12:33:04 WORLD THEY OPERATE IN.
12:33:05 THE WORLD THEY OPERATE IN, OR THAT THESE REZONINGS ARE
12:33:08 COMING TO US WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK, AND WE NEED A
12:33:10 SHORT-TERM SOLUTION, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS INTERIM THING AS
12:33:15 PROPOSED TO BE MODIFIED BY ME TODAY WILL PROVIDE.
12:33:18 SO, MR. CHAIRMAN, I AM JUST LOOKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
12:33:21 THROW THIS TOGETHER IN TWO WEEKS AND COME BACK FOR FIRST
12:33:24 READING, A COMMITMENT TODAY FROM YOU IS NOT --
12:33:32 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THE SOONER WE VOTE ON IT.
12:33:34 MR. CHAIR, PLEASE.
12:33:36 THANK YOU.
12:33:36 I'M GLAD THAT MR. GOERS HAD HIS CHANCE TO CHIME IN.
12:33:39 AND THIS STUDY IS GOING TO GIVE US A HECK OF A LOT MORE
12:33:44 REASONS TO FIGURE OUT WHERE, WHO, HOW AND WHAT WE CAN DO.
12:33:48 AND GIVE US THE LEGAL BASIS IN WHICH WE CAN DO IT.
12:33:55 I AGREE, WE HAVE ALL HEARD FROM SOUTH OF GANDY PEOPLE.
12:33:58 AND AS FAR AS -- I'M HER FAVORITE COUNCILMAN UNLESS OTHER
12:34:07 PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN LITTLE POSTIE NOTES ON THEIR MEMOS, TOO.
12:34:10 >> YOU ARE?
12:34:11 >>JOSEPH CITRO: HOWEVER, HOWEVER, TAKING A SHORT-TERM
12:34:16 RESOLVE TO THIS IS LIKE STEPPING ON A SHOELACE.
12:34:19 WE MIGHT TRIP OVER OURSELVES AFTER WE HEAR FROM RANDY GOERS
12:34:23 AND MAY HAVE TO CHANGE THINGS AROUND AGAIN.
12:34:26 I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE HEARING WHAT WE HAVE WITH THIS
12:34:30 STUDY AND THEN MOVING FORWARD FROM THERE.
12:34:33 I'M FINISHED, MR. CHAIRMAN.
12:34:36 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY MR. DINGFELDER, SECOND BY MR.
12:34:41 CARLSON.
12:34:41 ROLL CALL VOTE.
12:34:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO.
12:34:44 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
12:34:45 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NO.
12:34:47 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO.
12:34:49 >>LUIS VIERA: NO.
12:34:50 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
12:34:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
12:34:54 >>THE CLERK: MOTION FAILED WITH VIERA, MANISCALCO, CITRO,
12:34:59 AND MIRANDA VOTING NO.
12:34:59 >>LUIS VIERA: MR. CHAIR, MAY I SAY SOMETHING?
12:35:03 AND I KNOW WE ARE GOING OVERTIME.
12:35:06 AGAIN, I SAW THIS AS SOMETHING WHICH WOULD IN EFFECT
12:35:11 CONTINUE NUMBER 8.
12:35:11 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD COME BACK TO US IN A COUPLE
12:35:14 WEEKS, IN EFFECT DOING WHAT COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER WANTED.
12:35:18 I JUST THINK THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO LOOK INTO IT A LITTLE
12:35:22 BIT MORE HAVING JUST GOTTEN IT TODAY, AND SOME OF THE
12:35:25 CONCERNS THAT I SAID.
12:35:25 BUT AGAIN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD COME BACK.
12:35:29 SO THAT MAY NOT BE DONE WITH.
12:35:31 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, ARE YOU LOOKING TO PUT A
12:35:35 MOTION UP NOW FOR LATER REVIEW OR UNDER NEW BUSINESS OR MOVE
12:35:39 ON?
12:35:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CITY COUNCIL JUST VOTED NO.
12:35:45 AND MR. MANISCALCO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY
12:35:49 PARTICULAR DRUTHERS THAT YOU WOULD RATHER SEE THIS GO, IF
12:35:52 YOU WANT TO SEE IT STUDIED AND COME BACK IN A MONTH, BUT
12:35:57 YOUR VOTE MIGHT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
12:35:59 BUT I DON'T KNOW.
12:36:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I LISTENED TO COUNCILMAN MIRANDA,
12:36:04 COUNCILMAN CITRO, MR. GOERS AND OTHERS. I THINK WE SHOULD
12:36:07 WAIT, JUST TO BE SAFE.
12:36:11 I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY MISTAKES.
12:36:13 I UNDERSTAND GETTING INFORMATION AND COMING BACK IN TWO
12:36:17 WEEKS BUT THE IS THIS THE RIGHT THING TO DO?
12:36:19 I KNOW HE WAS IMPATIENT BUT I WANT TO SEE ALL THE DATA AND
12:36:24 ALL THE FACTS BEFORE ANYTHING.
12:36:26 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE STUDIES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE
12:36:27 RIGHT HERE.
12:36:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I UNDERSTAND.
12:36:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
12:36:31 I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
12:36:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THIS IS GOING ON.
12:36:36 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I FEEL THE SAME WAY.
12:36:39 I AM NOT AGAINST ANYONE SOUTH OF TAMPA, SOUTH OF GANDY,
12:36:42 SOUTH OF KENNEDY, SOUTH OF GEORGIA.
12:36:46 BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE DO IS 110% CORRECT.
12:36:51 I WOULD RATHER WAIT A LITTLE LONGER AND GET IT DONE SO WE
12:36:56 HAVE NO RAMIFICATION THAT THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT GIVES US
12:36:59 SOMETHING THAT'S 110%, THAT WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS CORRECT.
12:37:03 AND I AM NOT AGAINST MR. DINGFELDER.
12:37:05 I AM NOT AGAINST ANYONE.
12:37:06 I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS DONE CORRECTLY.
12:37:08 AND I AM NOT FOR ANYONE.
12:37:10 I JUST WANT TO GET IT DONE RIGHT.
12:37:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
12:37:18 >>LUIS VIERA: DO WE VOTE ON NUMBER 8 NOW?
12:37:22 >>ORLANDO GUDES: DO YOU WANT TO DO IT AFTER LUNCH?
12:37:26 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DO WE WANT TO DO OUR AGENDA ITEMS AND GET
12:37:29 THIS DONE AN OUT OF THE WAY?
12:37:31 COMMITTEE REPORTS, I'M SORRY.
12:37:32 OUR COMMITTEE REPORTS.
12:37:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT'S ALREADY 12:30.
12:37:39 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
12:37:41 >> [OFF MICROPHONE]
12:37:45 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT.
12:37:46 WE ARE RECESSED TILL 1:30.
12:37:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU FOR YOUR INDULGENCE.
12:37:53 (MEETING RECESSED)
12:37:58
01:37:52
01:37:52 >>LUIS VIERA: HERE.
01:40:06 >>BILL CARLSON: HERE.
01:40:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HERE.
01:40:14 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE.
01:40:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: HERE.
01:40:19 >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM.
01:40:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WANT TO DO A LITTLE HOUSEKEEPING REAL
01:40:23 QUICK.
01:40:24 WE ARE GOING TO JUMP BACK ON NUMBER 8.
01:40:26 WE ALREADY HAD DISCUSSION.
01:40:28 I AM GOING TO GET A MOTION TO SEE IF WE CAN MOVE THAT ITEM.
01:40:30 AND THEN GO INTO STAFF REPORTS.
01:40:33 CHIEF OF STAFF CALLED ME AND SAID WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE ON
01:40:37 STANDBY THAT HAVE SUBPOENAS THIS AFTERNOON SO I WANT TO MAKE
01:40:41 SURE WE GET THOSE FOLKS TO COURT AND DON'T CAUSE ANY
01:40:44 PROBLEMS WITH THE CLERK OVER THERE.
01:40:45 I WANT TO TAKE UP NUMBER 8.
01:40:48 MR. SHELBY?
01:40:49 >> MARTIN?
01:40:55 , MR. SHELBY, THOSE WHO WANT TO GO TO ITEM NUMBER 8, I DON'T
01:41:03 THINK WE NEED ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT.
01:41:06 WE JUST NEED TO GET TO A MOTION ON THAT AND ALSO ADVISE THAT
01:41:09 THE CHIEF OF STAFF CALLED ME IN REFERENCE TO STAFF PERSONNEL
01:41:15 HAVE SUBPOENAS THEY HAVE TO HONOR THIS AFTERNOON.
01:41:17 I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR THAT.
01:41:19 AND WE'LL GET INTO THE STAFF REPORTS.
01:41:23 MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
01:41:25 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
01:41:29 SO I AM GOING TO TAKE MR. MIRANDA'S ADVICE.
01:41:32 BECAUSE AS WE WERE FINISHING UP THAT DISCUSSION ON THE
01:41:36 MODIFIED VERSION OF ITEM 8, HE SAID, YOU KNOW, HE SAID I
01:41:40 THINK I MIGHT LIKE THE IDEA BUT WE NEED THE WORKSHOP.
01:41:44 AND WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO INSTEAD OF VOTING ON ITEM 8, I
01:41:50 WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE IT AND WORKSHOP IT AT A WORKSHOP, MR.
01:41:56 SHELBY, MIGHT SUGGEST -- DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER RELEVANT
01:42:01 WORKSHOPS ABOUT ZONINGS OR SOUTH OF GANDY OR ANYTHING LIKE
01:42:05 THAT?
01:42:12 TIDEWATER?
01:42:14 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, YES.
01:42:15 I BELIEVE THE CLERK HAS SOME ITEMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE
01:42:18 ASKED TO BE PUT ON THE --
01:42:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: DEPUTY CLERK, DO YOU HAVE ANY DATES?
01:42:25 >> WE HAVE SOME CHAPTER 27 ITEMS FOR MAY 27th.
01:42:29 KEEP IN MIND YOU HAVE QUITE A FEW WORKSHOP ITEMS FOR THAT
01:42:32 DAY, INCLUDING NUMBER 71 AND 72.
01:42:40 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO ONE OF THEM IS PURE ON MAY 27th.
01:42:44 THEN TWO RELATED PURE.
01:42:47 THEN CHAPTER 27.
01:42:50 AND THE ONE ON THE REFINANCING OF BONDS.
01:42:53 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHAT'S ON JOHN -- AND I AM HAVING
01:43:00 TROUBLE HEARING YOU, I'M SORRY.
01:43:01 >>THE CLERK: I'M SORRY.
01:43:04 YOU HAVE HOUSING AND LEGAL DEPARTMENT, AND THE DIFFERENCE
01:43:06 BETWEEN ESSENTIAL WORKERS, YOU HAVE A MOBILITY STAFF TO
01:43:10 SPEAK ON INSTALLING CROSSWALKS, AND LEGAL DEPARTMENT LOOKING
01:43:15 AT THE NEW ZONING ORDINANCES, CHICAGO.
01:43:22 >>MARTIN SHELBY: ALSO BE CONSCIOUS, ON THE DAYS OF YOUR
01:43:26 WORKSHOPS YOU HAVE NIGHT MEETINGS SCHEDULED.
01:43:28 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR INTO THE AFTERNOONS ON
01:43:30 YOUR WORKSHOPS AS YOU MOVE FORWARD.
01:43:33 AS A MATTER OF FACT, A SPECIAL DISCUSSION MEETING WHICH WAS
01:43:36 FOLLOWED UP BY A VOTE OF COUNCIL, YOU HAD SPECIFICALLY
01:43:40 REQUESTED THAT WORKSHOPS SCHEDULED FROM 9 TO NOON OR IF
01:43:47 EXTENDED NO LATER THAN 1 P.M.
01:43:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE JUNE DOESN'T SOUND TOO BUSY.
01:43:51 SO WITH THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'LL MOVE TO CONTINUE ITEM 8 TO
01:43:57 INCORPORATE IT INTO A JUNE WORKSHOP CONSISTENT WITH MR.
01:44:02 MIRANDA'S REQUEST, AND ALSO TO INCLUDE MY EARLIER MOTION
01:44:09 THAT FAILED.
01:44:13 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY MR. DINGFELDER.
01:44:15 IS THERE A SECOND?
01:44:16 I HAVE A MOTION FROM MR. DINGFELDER.
01:44:17 DO I HAVE A SECOND?
01:44:19 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE?
01:44:22 >>LUIS VIERA: I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
01:44:23 IN THE SPIRIT OF -- I WILL SUPPORT IT I AM NOT GOING TO
01:44:29 SUPPORT BUT I WILL SECOND IT ONLY FOR PURPOSES OF GETTING A
01:44:31 VOTE OF THE HOWEVER, HOWEVER, WE JUST REJECTED A CONTINUANCE
01:44:38 OF NUMBER 8, AND I KNOW WE ARE MISSING TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS.
01:44:42 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MAYBE WE SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL THEY COME
01:44:46 BACK.
01:44:47 >>LUIS VIERA: I HAVE NO PROBLEM HAVING A VOTE ON IT.
01:44:48 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WOULD YOU LIKE TO WITHDRAW UNTIL --
01:44:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IF WE CAN DEFER MY MOTION, MR. CHAIRMAN.
01:44:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NEW BUSINESS?
01:45:00 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: UNTIL THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE
01:45:01 HERE.
01:45:02 LET'S JUST RUN THROUGH THE REST OF THIS STUFF.
01:45:04 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT.
01:45:05 WE'LL DEFER NUMBER 8 TILL A FULL COUNCIL ARRIVES.
01:45:10 HOPEFULLY THEY'LL ARRIVE.
01:45:11 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I APPRECIATE THAT.
01:45:14 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE WILL MOVE ON INTO STAFF REPORTS.
01:45:22 >> CONSENT.
01:45:23 DO YOU WANT TO GET STAFF --
01:45:27 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WELL, STAFF CALLED ME AND SAID FOLKS ARE
01:45:29 WAITING TO GO TO SOME COURT ISSUES.
01:45:31 I DON'T WANT TO HOLD THEM UP.
01:45:32 I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT MANY STAFF REPORTS.
01:45:36 SO I WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM OUT.
01:45:37 I KNOW HOW IT IS IN COURT AND HOW THE SYSTEM IS OVER THERE.
01:45:44 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WE CAN CONFIRM WITH THE CLERK BUT FOR
01:45:46 INSTANCE ON PAGE 20, 69 THROUGH 73, I THINK HAVE ALL BEEN
01:45:49 TAKEN CARE OF.
01:45:51 IS THAT RIGHT?
01:45:51 >>THE CLERK: YES.
01:45:53 THE ONLY ITEMS REMAINING IS 74 AND 75, 77 AND 78.
01:45:59 THOSE FOUR ITEMS UNDER STAFF REPORT THAT STILL NEED TO BE
01:46:02 ADDRESSED.
01:46:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY: 74, 75, 77, 78.
01:46:07 >>THE CLERK: CORRECT.
01:46:08 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
01:46:17 74 APPEARS TO BE MR. DINGFELDER'S ITEM.
01:46:20 ITEM NUMBER 74.
01:46:23 MR. MASSEY OR MR. ROGERO.
01:46:25 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MY QUESTION IS PRETTY SIMPLE AND I THINK
01:46:36 WE CAN GET THROUGH 74 PRETTY QUICKLY, MR. CHAIRMAN.
01:46:38 THE MEMORANDUM FROM MR. MASSEY BASICALLY WENT AS HE DOES
01:46:42 WITH EVERYTHING, VERY THOROUGHLY, WENT THROUGH WHAT'S
01:46:44 INVOLVED AND N IMPACT FEES, THAT COMMUNITIES ALL ACROSS THE
01:46:48 STATE ARE DOING IMPACT FEES.
01:46:50 I THINK THE LEGISLATURE JUST MODIFIED THE IMPACT FEE STATUTE
01:46:55 SLIGHTLY, BUT IT STILL ALLOWS PUBLIC SAFETY IMPACT FEES AND
01:47:00 I AM GETTING A NOD FROM MR. MASSEY, I WILL JUST PUT THAT ON
01:47:03 THE RECORD.
01:47:05 AND AS FAR AS MR. ROGERO, MR. ROGERO, I DON'T KNOW,
01:47:10 BASICALLY I THINK HE SAID YOU ARE LOOKING AT ALL THESE
01:47:13 ISSUES AS RELATED TO THE NEEDS OF FIRE AND RESCUE AND THE
01:47:17 NEEDS OF TPD, WHICH OF COURSE WE ALWAYS DO REGULARLY.
01:47:23 SO MY ONLY REQUEST IS THAT INSTEAD OF JUST DEFERRING AND
01:47:27 LETTING IT DRIFT OFF INTO THE WIND, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US
01:47:31 BRING IT BACK PERHAPS IN 90 DAYS TO CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION,
01:47:39 UNLESS MR. ROGERO OR MR. MASSEY HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT.
01:47:41 THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION.
01:47:42 >> I'LL SECOND THAT.
01:47:47 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SECOND BY MR. MANISCALCO.
01:47:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BOTH GENTLEMEN ARE OKAY WITH IT.
01:47:52 OKAY.
01:47:52 >>LUIS VIERA: AND I'M SO SORRY, I WAS READING SOMETHING,
01:47:55 JOHN, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
01:47:57 WHAT WAS YOUR MOTION?
01:47:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: 90 DAY CONTINUANCE ON THIS ITEM ABOUT
01:48:00 IMPACT FEES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
01:48:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION FROM MR. DINGFELDER.
01:48:05 SECOND FROM MR. MANISCALCO.
01:48:06 >>MARTIN SHELBY: DO WE HAVE A DATE, PLEASE?
01:48:08 >>THE CLERK: AUGUST 5th.
01:48:12 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AUGUST 5th UNDER STAFF REPORTS IN
01:48:16 THE AFTERNOON.
01:48:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
01:48:19 ALL IN FAVOR?
01:48:20 ANY OPPOSED?
01:48:22 MOTION CARRIES.
01:48:22 >>LUIS VIERA: AND THANK YOU, SIR.
01:48:27 CONSISTENT WITH THAT, I WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, WE REQUESTED
01:48:31 THE ADMINISTRATION LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT AMERICAN RELIEF
01:48:34 DOLLARS COULD GO IN PART TO FUND FIRE STATIONS THAT ARE SUCH
01:48:38 CRITICAL NEEDS, EVERY TIME I BROUGHT UP STATION 13 HERE, I
01:48:43 WOULD PROBABLY BE A MILLIONAIRE BY NOW.
01:48:46 YESTERDAY I WAS AT K-BAR RANCH AND THAT'S ANOTHER AREA THAT
01:48:49 HAD SOME SERIOUS FIRE SAFETY DEFICITS.
01:48:52 CHANNELSIDE, OBVIOUSLY ANOTHER CRITICAL AREA, ET CETERA.
01:48:56 SO I THINK THIS IS PART OF A CONVERSATION IN TERMS OF HOW WE
01:48:58 ARE GOING TO FUND PUBLIC SAFETY, POLICE, FIRE, ET CETERA, IN
01:49:05 OUR VERY MUCH GROWING CITY.
01:49:06 BUT I HOPE THAT EVENTUALLY WE CAN GET A FINDING ON THOSE 81
01:49:12 OR SO MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE ARE GETTING WHEREVER THE
01:49:14 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT MAYBE CAN HELP US REDUCE THIS PUBLIC
01:49:17 SAFETY DEFICIT THAT WE HAVE.
01:49:19 THANK YOU, SIR.
01:49:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
01:49:22 75, DEPUTY CLERK.
01:49:26 ITEM 75.
01:49:31 MR. VIERA.
01:49:31 >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR.
01:49:34 I WAS LOOKING OVER HERE AT THE REPORT.
01:49:36 SO IT SEEMS TO SAY THAT AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF ENGAGEMENT
01:49:40 CITY STAFF WILL EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES TO REFINE AND EXPAND
01:49:42 THE PROGRAM.
01:49:44 SO WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT DOING IN THIS IS TO TAKE A LOOK
01:49:51 THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR CITY OF TAMPA TO UNDERSERVED AREAS TO
01:49:55 SEE IF THE CITY OF TAMPA CAN HAVE SOME SORT OF YOUTH
01:49:57 ENGAGEMENT EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM THAT HELPS PUT YOUNG PEOPLE ON
01:50:02 A PATH TO BETTER SUCCESS AND COMMUNITY STAKE HOLDING BY
01:50:06 GIVING THEM WORK SKILLS, AND HAVING THEM WORK AND HELPING
01:50:11 NEIGHBORHOODS, ET CETERA, AND THIS IS MUCH BIGGER, BUT KIND
01:50:16 OF WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT IS A MUCH SMALLER VERSION OF R OF
01:50:19 MAYBE THE WPA WORKS, NATIONAL YOUTH ASSOCIATION OF THE 30s
01:50:24 THAT PUT UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE BACK TO WORK REBUILDING THEIR
01:50:27 COMMUNITIES.
01:50:28 AND WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMUNITIES HERE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA
01:50:31 THAT NEED A LOT OF REBUILDING, EAST TAMPA, SULPHUR SPRINGS,
01:50:35 PARTS OF NORTH TAMPA, PARTS OF WEST TAMPA, ET CETERA.
01:50:38 AND MANY, MANY OTHER AREAS.
01:50:41 AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD CERTAINLY LOOK
01:50:43 AT.
01:50:44 SO IF I SEE HERE CORRECTLY FROM THE REPORT, THEY ARE GOING
01:50:47 TO BE LOOKING AT THAT.
01:50:49 SO I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH A REASONABLE DELAY, BUT I AM GOING
01:50:53 TO MOTION -- AND IF I MAY I WILL JUST DO IT NOW, MAYBE TO
01:50:57 COME BACK WITH AN UPDATE ON THIS PROCESS IN SIX MONTHS, THE
01:51:07 FIRST WEEK IN OCTOBER.
01:51:08 AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IF WE CAN ALL SUPPORT
01:51:11 INCLUDING THE ADMINISTRATION, I KNOW 110%, AND SO THAT WOULD
01:51:16 BE MY MOTION, JUST TO KEEP THAT UP.
01:51:18 >>ORLANDO GUDES: DO YOU HAVE A DATE FOR THAT?
01:51:24 OCTOBER 7th?
01:51:26 MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY MR. VIERA, SECONDED BY MR. CITRO.
01:51:32 ALL IN FAVOR?
01:51:34 ANY OPPOSED?
01:51:35 MOTION CARRIES.
01:51:40 WE GO TO ITEM NUMBER 77.
01:51:42 MR. MANISCALCO.
01:51:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
01:51:48 I SPOKE ABOUT THIS EARLIER.
01:51:50 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA HAD MADE SOME COMMENTS AS WELL.
01:51:53 BUT I HAD LOOKED AT THE CODE, AND I SAW THAT SHOULD YOU MOVE
01:52:00 SECTION 27-283.11-B, AND YOU PUT IT INTO SECTION 15-4.5, IT
01:52:09 WOULD GIVE MORE AND BETTER AUTHORITY TO THE POLICE
01:52:13 DEPARTMENT OR CODE ENFORCEMENT TO TICKET OR ISSUE CITATIONS
01:52:17 TO PEOPLE UNDER -- ON THE RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND WHATNOT,
01:52:24 COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND WHATNOT, THAT ARE THROUGHOUT WEST
01:52:26 TAMPA, THROUGHOUT THE CITY, HYDE PARK, SOUTH TAMPA, I CAN GO
01:52:32 ON AND ON ABOUT COMPLAINTS I RECEIVED IN THE LAST SEVERAL
01:52:35 YEARS.
01:52:35 I HAVE RECEIVED A MEMO HERE AS EVERYBODY HAS, AND I SEE MR.
01:52:41 BHIDE AND OTHERS FROM THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT, I THINK MR.
01:52:45 PEREZ IS THERE, TOO, HOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.
01:52:49 SO MY QUESTION IS, WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO -- DO I NEED TO
01:52:53 MAKE A MOTION TO SET THIS FOR FIRST READING?
01:52:56 HOW DO WE MOVE THIS PROCESS FORWARD, SIR?
01:52:59 >>PATRICK PEREZ: ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY.
01:53:05 YES, MY MEMO, I HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT ALSO ON IF THERE ARE
01:53:12 ANY QUESTIONS FROM THEM.
01:53:13 BASICALLY, THE MOTION WAS TO INVESTIGATE MOVING SECTION 287,
01:53:19 OR 27-283.
01:53:21 OUR RECOMMENDATION IS ACTUALLY CROSS REFERENCE AND KEEP IT
01:53:24 IN CHAPTER 27, CROSS REFERENCE CHAPTER 15 WHICH WOULD ALLOW
01:53:34 TPD TO USUAL YOU VIOLATIONS WHILE STILL ALLOWING CODE
01:53:37 ENFORCEMENT TO CONTINUE TO ENFORCE THE ZONING CODES.
01:53:40 SO BASICALLY WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION IN THERE FOR PROPOSED
01:53:44 LANGUAGE TO AMEND SECTION 15-4.5, SO WE JUST NEED A
01:53:50 RECOMMENDATION FROM COUNCIL TO GO THROUGH THAT ROUTE.
01:53:53 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT
01:53:56 MOTION FOR WHAT YOU JUST EXPLAINED REGARDING SECTION 15-4.5,
01:54:01 SO WE CAN USE THE AUTHORITY HERE LEGALLY, SO IT'S DEFENSIBLE
01:54:08 AND WE ARE PROTECTED, BUT STILL WE CAN ADDRESS THE CONCERNS
01:54:11 OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS, BECAUSE AGAIN I GET CALLS THAT SUNDAY
01:54:16 MORNING, YOU KNOW?
01:54:17 I TRY NOT TO BOTHER ANYBODY ON SUNDAY MORNING BUT IT'S PART
01:54:20 OF THE JOB.
01:54:21 I GOT A CALL AT 8 A.M. ONE SUNDAY, AND RIGHTFULLY SO.
01:54:24 I MEAN, PEOPLE HAVE WAITED FOR YEARS FOR SOME KIND OF
01:54:27 ENFORCEMENT.
01:54:29 THERE ARE MANY RECKLESS AND IRRESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUALS THAT
01:54:31 PARK WHEREVER THEY FEEL LIKE WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERATION FOR
01:54:34 THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
01:54:35 WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERATION TO PEOPLE ON BIKES OR CHILDREN.
01:54:39 THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
01:54:41 AND I DON'T WANT BLOOD ON MY HANDS. I DON'T WANT SOMEBODY
01:54:45 GETTING KILLED OR ANY OTHER PROBLEM, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE JUST
01:54:48 BEING IRRESPONSIBLE.
01:54:50 SO MY MOTION THEN WOULD BE THAT -- AND DO YOU NEED A
01:54:56 SPECIFIC TIME FOR THIS?
01:54:59 DOES IT HAVE TO GO TO AN ORDINANCE OR FIRST READING?
01:55:01 >>MARTIN SHELBY: FIRST READING.
01:55:04 >>PATRICK PEREZ: IT WILL BE AMENDING THE ORDINANCE, AND WE
01:55:06 WILL BRING IT BACK IF WE COULD FOR FIRST READING ON CITY
01:55:08 COUNCIL MEETING ON JUNE 3rd.
01:55:11 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO THE MOTION WOULD BE TO BRING THIS
01:55:13 BACK SECTION 15-4 .35 FOR FIRST READING.
01:55:16 WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A DRAFT ORDINANCE OR AN ORDINANCE
01:55:18 PREPARED FOR FIRST READING FOR THE MEETING JUNE 3rd.
01:55:25 DID YOU GET ALL OF THAT?
01:55:26 THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT ALREADY HAS THE LANGUAGE IN PLACE.
01:55:28 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN JUST SO IT'S CLEAR, I BELIEVE
01:55:30 THAT MR. PEREZ SAID THAT HE CAN HAVE -- LEGAL DEPARTMENT CAN
01:55:34 HAVE IT PUT ON THE AGENDA FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION ON
01:55:36 THAT DAY.
01:55:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE'LL TAKE THE VOTE THAT DAY AND MOVE
01:55:39 IT FORWARD.
01:55:41 I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH SO I CAN RESPOND TO MY
01:55:43 CONSTITUENTS, BECAUSE I AM IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH THEM, AS
01:55:46 MANY OF THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE, SO THEY KNOW THAT WE
01:55:49 ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH PROPER ENFORCEMENT AND THEY ARE
01:55:52 BEING LISTENED TO.
01:55:54 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANISCALCO HAS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR,
01:55:57 SECOND BY MR. MIRANDA.
01:56:00 ALL IN FAVOR?
01:56:02 OKAY.
01:56:02 ANYBODY OPPOSED?
01:56:04 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WANT TO THANK COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO FOR
01:56:11 BRINGING IT UP AND DOING A VERY GOOD JOB, AND A SEMI WITH
01:56:14 TAMPA TRACTOR AND TRAILER AND THEY'LL LEAVE IT BARKED ON
01:56:16 ARMENIA AVENUE AND THERE ARE BUSINESSES THAT TAKE THE
01:56:22 DRIVER'S VEHICLES AND TRACTOR AND TRAILER AND LEAVE IN THE A
01:56:25 PARKED AREA BUT THEY CHARGE FOR IT.
01:56:26 SO THEY ARE LEAVING IT OUT ON THE STREET, AND SOME KID RUNS
01:56:29 OUT, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SEE IT.
01:56:31 THEY AREN'T GOING TO SEE THE CAR, THE CAR ISN'T GOING TO SEE
01:56:33 THEM.
01:56:34 AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, THEY'LL TAKE THE TRACTOR HOME,
01:56:37 PARK IT ON THEIR FRONT YARD, CHANGE THE OIL.
01:56:42 I GOT PICTURES OF ALL THAT.
01:56:45 AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING.
01:56:47 I UNDERSTAND WHY.
01:56:48 BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, ENVIRONMENTALLY AND EVERYTHING ELSE,
01:56:51 IT'S JUST A CHAOTIC THING FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA TO GO
01:56:54 THROUGH.
01:56:54 I APPRECIATE WHAT COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO IS DOING.
01:56:56 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CARLSON.
01:56:59 >>BILL CARLSON: THANKS ALSO FOR BRINGING THIS UP.
01:57:01 THE OTHER THING IS THAT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WE WORKED WITH
01:57:05 CHIEF BENNETT ON A UNIT OF CODE ENFORCEMENT OR EXPANDING THE
01:57:11 UNIT OF CODE ENFORCEMENT TO HELP REQUEST PARKING, AND I HAD
01:57:14 SOME CONVERSATION WITH HIM LAST WEEK ABOUT TWEAKING THAT A
01:57:17 LITTLE BIT ALSO SO THAT IT COULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE AS IT'S
01:57:22 STARTING TO ROLL OUT.
01:57:23 BUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM.
01:57:24 ILLEGAL PARKING IN NEIGHBORHOODS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST AREAS
01:57:28 OF COMPLAINTS THAT I GET.
01:57:29 SO I APPRECIATE ANY HELP TO RECTIFY THAT.
01:57:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
01:57:35 ANY MORE DISCUSSION?
01:57:38 MOTION BY MR. MANISCALCO.
01:57:40 SECOND BY MR. MIRANDA.
01:57:41 ALL IN FAVOR?
01:57:43 ANY OPPOSED?
01:57:45 MOTION CARRIES.
01:57:51 ALL RIGHT.
01:57:51 NUMBER 78.
01:57:52 >>KELLY AUSTIN: DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND TALENT
01:58:08 DEVELOPMENT IS ON THE LINE.
01:58:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: GOOD AFTERNOON.
01:58:13 >> AT FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO QUICKLY SAY THANK YOU TO
01:58:19 CHAIRMAN MANISCALCO FOR HIS SERVICE AS CHAIR AND
01:58:22 CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, CHAIRMAN GUDES, ON YOUR NEW
01:58:26 APPOINTMENT.
01:58:27 I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION
01:58:30 AROUND ITEM NUMBER 78, WHICH IS REGARDING ALL THE CITY
01:58:35 CLERK'S OFFICE, ON STANDBY FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION.
01:58:38 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
01:58:44 I MADE THAT MOTION.
01:58:45 AND I JUST NEEDED SOME CLARIFICATION.
01:58:47 I DID READ THE MEMO, BUT AGAIN I DID MAKE A PHONE CALL TO
01:58:50 YOU.
01:58:51 AND WE KIND OF DISCUSSED A LITTLE BIT.
01:58:52 IT WAS A LITTLE VAGUE IN REFERENCE TO A STUDY, REVIEW AND
01:59:00 NUMBERS.
01:59:02 I DON'T THINK A LOT OF COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD CHIME IN AS
01:59:08 MUCH BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR ON WHAT WE ARE GOING
01:59:12 TO DO.
01:59:12 BECAUSE AS I LOOK AT THE SPREADSHEET OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS,
01:59:16 CITIES ABOUT OUR SIZE, THIS CITY IS GROWING, AND IT'S
01:59:21 GROWING RAPIDLY, AND WHEN I LOOK AT OTHER PLACES TO
01:59:25 COMPARABLE PAY, WE ARE LAGGING BEHIND.
01:59:28 AND I TALK ABOUT THE CITY AS A WHOLE.
01:59:33 WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE PAY SCALE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES.
01:59:36 AND AGAIN WHEN IS THE LAST TIME A STUDY HAS BEEN DONE TO
01:59:41 MATCH UP TO OTHER CITIES WITHIN THE STATE, A ROUND THE
01:59:44 STATE, WORKFORCE THAT WE HAVE.
01:59:47 SO YOU CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT SO THIS COUNCIL CAN
01:59:50 KNOW WHERE WE ARE AT WITH THAT, AND WE STILL HAVEN'T GOT THE
01:59:56 CART TO MOVE WITH THE HORSE YET.
01:59:58 >>KELLY AUSTIN: SURE.
02:00:00 THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK.
02:00:01 IF I COULD JUST ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT TO TALK ABOUT THE
02:00:04 PROCESS, NOT SPECIFIC TO THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE BUT THE
02:00:07 PROCESS IN GENERAL, AND THAT WILL ONLY TAKE JUST A MINUTE.
02:00:13 WE HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE WHERE OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS ARE
02:00:16 TASKED WITH IDENTIFYING ANY NEEDS OR CHANGES IN THEIR
02:00:20 PARTICULAR AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS
02:00:24 THAT THEY REGULARLY ROUTINELY ASK THEMSELVES ARE, HAS MY
02:00:28 WORK VOLUME CHANGED?
02:00:29 HAS THE PAST BECOME MORE COMPLEX?
02:00:32 WHAT KIND OF TIME AM I RUNNING IN MY DEPARTMENT?
02:00:36 WE MET WITH THE MAYOR'S JUNIOR STAFF AT LEAST QUARTERLY AND
02:00:41 SHE ENCOURAGES US TO LOOK BACKWARDS AND ASK OURSELVES THE
02:00:45 QUESTION, WHAT TASKS AREN'T NECESSARY, AND CAN SOMETHING BE
02:00:48 DONE MORE EFFICIENTLY?
02:00:49 AND SO WE ALL ARE TASKED WITH DOING THAT.
02:00:52 IF WE HAVE A NEED THAT WE IDENTIFIED, AND WE NEED TO BRING
02:00:56 THAT FORWARD, DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS.
02:01:00 AND IF IT IS NOT DONE DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS, WHICH AS WE
02:01:04 ALL KNOW MANY THINGS HAPPEN DURING THE COPY OF THE YEAR, IF
02:01:07 IT'S OUTSIDE THE BUDGET PROCESS THEN WHAT WE DO IS WE WORK
02:01:11 WITH OUR BUDGET ANALYSTS AND HUMAN RESOURCES AND SOME OF THE
02:01:14 THINGS THAT WE DO, WHICH WE DO DECISIONS, FULL TIME
02:01:17 EQUIVALENCIES, WE MIGHT COMBINE SOME VACANCIES, MIGHT CREATE
02:01:21 SOME NEW POSITIONS, MIGHT RECLASS OR REGRADE, WHATEVER IT
02:01:25 TAKES TO ACCOMPLISH THE MADE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THIS IS
02:01:27 MOVING FORWARD AS EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE
02:01:30 WHILE BEING BUDGET CONSCIOUS.
02:01:33 LAST YEAR, THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE CONTACTED HUMAN RESOURCES
02:01:37 WITH A COUPLE OF REQUESTS AND AFTER THE ANALYSIS WAS DONE WE
02:01:41 WERE ABLE TO CONVERTS ONE PART-TIME POSITION TO A FULL-TIME
02:01:45 POSITION, AND ALSO READJUSTED ONE OF THE SALARIES, AND WE
02:01:49 SUGGESTED AT THAT TIME PERHAPS SECURING A CONTRACTOR DUE TO
02:01:53 AN EXTENDED ABSENCE OF ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES.
02:01:57 AS A RESULT OF THIS MOTION, THE CHIEF OF STAFF AND MR.
02:02:01 ROGERO AND MYSELF MET WITH BE THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE TO
02:02:05 BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT WERE THE NEEDS ANDS THE REQUESTS THAT
02:02:08 WERE NOT BEING MET OR THAT THERE WAS CONCERNS OVER, AND THAT
02:02:12 CONVERSATION KIND OF WENT IN TWO LANES, ONE LANE BEING
02:02:16 REALLY FOCUSED ON THE FACILITIES, AND THEN THE OTHER LANE
02:02:20 BEING FOCUSED ON THE VOLUME OF WORK.
02:02:25 AND PERHAPS NECESSARY EVALUATION OF THE DEPARTMENT AND THE
02:02:30 TASKS AND THE DUTIES.
02:02:32 SO THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE WAS GUIDED AT THAT POINT TO MAKE
02:02:37 BUDGET REQUESTS, BECAUSE THIS IS A TIME THAT WE ARE DOING
02:02:40 THAT EXERCISE, AND THEN CERTAINLY MY OFFICE IS LOOKING AT
02:02:45 SOME SALARY COMPARERS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY ONE THING,
02:02:51 CHAIRMAN GUDES, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THERE ARE SOME ASPECTS
02:02:54 OF OUR COMPENSATION THAT PERHAPS WE PAY LESS THAN OTHERS,
02:02:58 BUT WHEN I LOOK ACROSS THERE ARE ALSO MANY, MANY ASPECTS
02:03:01 WHERE OUR COMPENSATION IS AT OR GREATER THAN, AND I ALWAYS
02:03:05 TRY TO JUST BE MINDFUL OF OUR TOTAL COMPENSATION PLAN WHICH
02:03:10 IS NOT JUST THE SALARY, NOT THAT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT, SO I
02:03:12 AM NOT TAKING AWAY FROM THAT, BUT GENERAL EMPLOYEES HAVE A
02:03:16 ZERO CONTRIBUTION, GENERAL PENSION AVAILABLE TO THEM, ZERO
02:03:22 CONTRIBUTION ON MEDICAL COVERAGE FOR THEMSELVES, ACCESS TO
02:03:25 THE WELLNESS CENTER AT NO CHARGE, ZERO COST PRESCRIPTION,
02:03:29 YOU KNOW, THE ACCRUAL OF ANNUAL AND SICK LEAVE.
02:03:33 SO WE LOOK AT ALL THAT WHEN WE EVALUATE OW HOW WE STAND UP
02:03:37 IN THE MARKETPLACE.
02:03:38 THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T ALWAYS DO BETTER OR CONTINUES TO
02:03:40 TAKE LOOKS.
02:03:41 AS A RESULT OF OUR CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY CLERK'S
02:03:43 OFFICE, THERE ARE SOME ITEMS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT, AND
02:03:46 THEN AGAIN, MS. FOXX-KNOWLES WAS DIRECTED TO PUTTING HER
02:03:53 REQUESTS INTO THE BUDGET PROCESS, BECAUSE THIS IS THE TIME
02:03:56 THAT WE ARE DOING THAT EXERCISE, AND HOPEFULLY BASED ON THAT
02:04:01 ANALYSIS WE ARE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE WHATEVER NEEDS ARE
02:04:04 NECESSARY IN ORDER TO KEEP ENSURING THAT TASKS AND DUTIES
02:04:09 ARE GETTING ACCOMPLISHED IN A TIMELY FASHION.
02:04:12 SO THAT WOULD BE OUR GOAL FOR EVERYBODY.
02:04:13 AND THAT WAS A LONG-WINDED ANSWER SO I APOLOGIZE.
02:04:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT'S OKAY.
02:04:17 YOU GAVE ME SOME ANSWERS.
02:04:19 YOU TALKED ABOUT THE FACILITY PART.
02:04:21 I WONDERED WHY IS IT IF WE PUT ALL THIS WORK INTO THE
02:04:26 CHAMBERS THAT WE DID NOT BUTT THE WORK INTO THEIR OFFICE
02:04:30 OVER THERE?
02:04:30 BECAUSE THEY ARE RIGHT NEXT TO US.
02:04:32 THERE'S A DOOR RIGHT HERE IN THIS CHAMBERS THAT L.
02:04:35 SO TO ME, HOW DO WE NOT ADD THAT ALL IN AT ONE SHOT TO MAKE
02:04:41 SURE EVERYONE IS SAFE?
02:04:42 WHEN I LOOK AROUND AND SEE THAT, I QUESTION THAT RIGHT AWAY,
02:04:49 YOU DID THIS OVER HERE BUT WE STILL HAVE ACCESS.
02:04:51 SO I DON'T KNOW, HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIX THAT THROUGH THE
02:04:54 BUDGETING PROCESS AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE SECURE AT WELL
02:04:57 BECAUSE PEOPLE COME UP HERE AND WALK THROUGH HERE ALL THE
02:04:59 TIME AND GO RIGHT TO THE OFFICE.
02:05:01 SO I AM HOPING WE CAN SECURE THEM AS WELL BECAUSE AGAIN THEY
02:05:04 NOT ONLY WORK FOR THE ADMINISTRATION, I WANT TO MAKE THAT
02:05:07 CLEAR, THEY ALSO WORK FOR COUNCIL FOR OUR CHARTER.
02:05:10 SO THEY WORK FOR TWO HOUSES.
02:05:13 SO WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OVER HERE AS THE CHAIR HERE, I WANT
02:05:16 TO MAKE SURE THAT MY HOUSE IS PROTECTED AND MAKE SURE PEOPLE
02:05:19 IN MY HOUSE ARE PROTECTED AND THEY ALSO ARE BEING
02:05:22 COMPENSATED CORRECTLY QUESTION I LOOK ACROSS THE SPECTRUM.
02:05:25 HOPEFULLY WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS IN ANEW
02:05:28 BUDGET YEAR.
02:05:30 MR. ROGERO IS ON THE LINE THERE.
02:05:31 ALSO WHEN I LOOK AT SALARIES, AND I LOOK AT ADMINISTRATORS,
02:05:36 MS. FOXX-KNOWLES, I LOOK AT HER SALARY, HER SALARY IS WAY
02:05:39 BELOW EVEN SOME OF THE ADMINISTRATORS HERE WITHIN THE CITY.
02:05:42 THAT'S CONCERNING TO ME, HER BEING AN ADMINISTRATOR OVER THE
02:05:47 CLERK'S OFFICE WHICH IS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY TO THIS CITY.
02:05:49 SO I AM HOPING AND I AM ASKING TO MAKE SURE THAT HER REVIEW
02:05:55 IS IN THERE AS WELL SO THIS COUNCIL CAN REVIEW FOR THE
02:05:58 UPCOMING BUDGET.
02:05:59 BECAUSE I THINK SHE NEEDS TO BE COMPENSATED AS WELL, AND NOT
02:06:02 JUST SIT BACK AND BE NICE AND WANT TO GO ALONG TO HELP OUT
02:06:07 THE OTHER EMPLOYEES, BUT ALSO HELP HERSELF BECAUSE SHE WORKS
02:06:10 HARD HERE FOR ALL OF US.
02:06:11 SO I'M HOPING THAT IT WILL HAPPEN, AND AGAIN, FACILITYWISE
02:06:16 AS WELL, AND AGAIN, I AM GLAD WE ARE LOOKING INTO THIS
02:06:20 PROCESS.
02:06:21 I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE --
02:06:28 >>KELLY AUSTIN: ABSOLUTELY, YES, SIR.
02:06:29 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, I SAW YOUR HAND, SIR?
02:06:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, I JUST WANTED TO CHIME IN AND
02:06:36 REITERATE WHAT MR. CHAIRMAN HAS SPOKEN TO.
02:06:41 IT'S VERY SAD THAT SANDY TOOK ILL, AND SHE DID AN AMAZING
02:06:50 JOB FOR 30 YEARS, AND WE ALL LOVE HER DEARLY.
02:06:55 BUT I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK
02:06:59 UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS.
02:07:01 INSTEAD, SULING HAS JUMPED IN AND PROBABLY DOING HER FORMER
02:07:06 JOBS, AND SOME OF SANDY'S JOBS, AND I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS
02:07:10 OF THE CLERK'S OFFICE, BUT I AM SURE THAT THERE'S SOME
02:07:14 SIGNIFICANT READJUSTMENT THAT NEEDS TO GO ON.
02:07:18 THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.
02:07:20 COUNCIL TRIES VERY HARD NOT TO BUTT INTO THE
02:07:22 ADMINISTRATION'S PLACE IN TERMS OF SALARIES AND THAT SORT OF
02:07:27 THING, BUT THIS IS AN AREA THAT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO US
02:07:31 BECAUSE WE DO WORK SO CLOSELY WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE.
02:07:35 SO MAYBE DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS THIS SUMMER WE'LL SEE
02:07:39 SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.
02:07:40 I THINK THAT'S THE DIRECTION MR. CHAIRMAN IS ASKING US TO
02:07:44 GO.
02:07:45 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU FOR THAT.
02:07:46 AGAIN, SULING OUT THERE, SHE HAS A LOT OF CREDENTIALS BEHIND
02:07:52 HER BELT AT THIS TIME.
02:07:53 AND WE HAVE TO ALSO LOOK AT THAT.
02:07:55 SHE'S A DEPUTY CLERK OF THE SHE'S NOT A CLERK.
02:07:57 SHE'S A DEPUTY CLERK.
02:07:58 AND SO WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT AS WELL.
02:08:01 AND HER CREDENTIALS.
02:08:03 SHE'S EDUCATED.
02:08:05 THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT SCHOOLS SHE'S BEEN TO NOW ACROSS
02:08:07 THE STATE.
02:08:08 I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT AS WELL.
02:08:10 ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN, BEFORE WE MOVE ON?
02:08:12 I THANK BOTH OF YOU VERY, VERY MUCH AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET
02:08:16 SOME OF THESE THINGS MOVING FORWARD BEFORE NEXT YEAR'S
02:08:20 BUDGET.
02:08:21 >>KELLY AUSTIN: THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY THIS
02:08:22 AFTERNOON.
02:08:23 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
02:08:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A FULL BOARD.
02:08:32 DO YOU WANT TO DO ITEM NUMBER 8?
02:08:34 >>ORLANDO GUDES: COUNCIL MEMBERS, SOME OF YOU WERE DELAYED
02:08:37 GETTING BACK FROM LUNCH AND I KNOW WE HAVE GUYS GETTING
02:08:42 THEMSELVES TOGETHER.
02:08:42 MR. DINGFELDER WANTED TO PUT A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR ITEM
02:08:46 8.
02:08:47 I WILL LET HIM GO AND REHASH WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO TELL THE
02:08:52 COUNCIL, AND IF HE WOULD LIKE TO PUT ANOTHER MOTION ON THE
02:08:57 FLOOR TO GO AHEAD FROM THAT TIME.
02:08:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AS MR. MIRANDA WAS WRAPPING UP, HE HAD
02:09:09 STATED THAT PERHAPS A WORKSHOP ON THESE ISSUES MIGHT BE MORE
02:09:12 APPROPRIATE AND WE CAN HAVE A LONGER DETAILED DISCUSSION
02:09:14 WITH INPUT FROM EVERYBODY INSTEAD OF RUSHING HERKY JERKY
02:09:20 INTO DOING SOMETHING TODAY OR TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.
02:09:23 SO WITH THAT, MY MOTION EARLIER WAS TO CONTINUE ITEM 8 AS
02:09:29 WELL AS INCLUDING THE IDEA THAT I THREW OUT TODAY, I WILL
02:09:37 CALL IT AMENDED ITEM 8, AND PUT THAT ON A WORKSHOP IN OUR
02:09:43 JUNE WORKSHOP, WHICH IS, WHAT, FOURTH WEEK IN JUNE, MARTY,
02:09:47 OR THIRD?
02:09:49 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE 24th IS?
02:09:53 >> JUNE 24.
02:09:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND WE LOOKED AT THAT WORKSHOP AND IT
02:09:57 DOESN'T LOOK TOO, TOO BUSY.
02:09:59 SO I JUST WANTED A FULL BOARD HERE TO ADDRESS THAT AND VOTE
02:10:03 ON IT AND SEE WHERE IT GOES.
02:10:04 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY MR. DINGFELDER.
02:10:09 DO I HAVE A SECOND?
02:10:11 SECOND BY MR. CARLSON.
02:10:12 ANY DISCUSSION?
02:10:15 YOU ARE RECOGNIZED, MR. SHELBY.
02:10:17 >>MARTIN SHELBY: JUST TO SET IT WITH TO ALLOW AT 11:30 A.M.
02:10:22 IF WE ARE SPACING THINGS A HALF HOUR APART OR IS THERE
02:10:26 ANOTHER TIME?
02:10:27 IT WOULD NOT SHOW UP ON THE AGENDA, CORRECT?
02:10:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I ACCEPT THAT AS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
02:10:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY: 11:30.
02:10:35 THANK YOU.
02:10:35 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
02:10:37 ANY DISCUSSION?
02:10:38 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WILL JUST --
02:10:44 >>LUIS VIERA: I WILL JUST SAY SOMETHING IF I MAY.
02:10:46 I HAD SECONDED IT UNDER WHAT I NOW CALL THE CLARENCE DARROW
02:10:50 RULE.
02:10:51 IF MR. CARLSON SECOND IT, I WILL BE RESPECTFULLY VOTING NO.
02:10:54 AGAIN I VOTED AGAINST THE CONTINUANCE OF NUMBER 8 ORIGINALLY
02:10:57 AND I WILL DO IT HERE AGAIN.
02:10:58 JUST MY THOUGHTS.
02:10:59 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANKS VERY MUCH.
02:11:03 I AGAIN STATED MANY TIMES TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM
02:11:08 WHAT PLANNING AND WHAT MR. RANDY GOERS HAD TO SAY, AND THEN
02:11:12 I THINK I CAN MAKE A ADJUSTMENT BETTER AFTER THAT.
02:11:15 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
02:11:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANISCALCO?
02:11:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, NO.
02:11:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY MR. DINGFELDER,

02:12:00 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR, FOR A WORKSHOP.
02:12:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, MS. FEELEY IS LOOKING VERY
02:12:11 CONFUSED.
02:12:12 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MS. FEELEY, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING,
02:12:15 MA'AM?
02:12:16 OKAY.
02:12:17 >>ABBYE FEELEY: SORRY ABOUT THAT.
02:12:22 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU LOOKED ANGERED THERE.
02:12:24 I WANT TO MAKE SURE.
02:12:25 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THOUGHT I HEARD FOUR NAYS AND THREE
02:12:33 AYES, SO I WAS A BIT CONFUSED.
02:12:35 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MOTION PASSED.
02:12:37 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH VIERA, MANISCALCO AND
02:12:39 CITRO VOTING NO.

02:13:17 ON ITEM 18, I AM GOING TO ASK THAT WE REINSTATE IT AND
02:13:22 STRIKE MY EARLIER MOTION.
02:13:24 I SPOKE WITH STAFF DURING LUNCH.
02:13:26 THEY CLARIFIED THE ISSUE THAT I NEEDED CLARIFYING.
02:13:29 AND SO THERE WAS NO POINT IN CONTINUING THAT FOR TWO WEEKS.
02:13:33 SO IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, AND MR. MANISCALCO,
02:13:38 IF YOU CAN INCLUDE ITEM 18 AND WE'LL STRIKE THE MAY 20th

02:15:38 >>BILL CARLSON: ROB ROSNER WAS GOING TO TRY TO BE ON
02:15:42 STANDBY TO READ A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT 31 AND 32 IF POSSIBLE.
02:15:49 I JUST ASKED HIM TO READ THIS OUT SO THAT THE PUBLIC
02:15:53 WATCHING, I IN PARTICULAR HAVE A LOT OF AT ANY TIME WHO ARE
02:15:57 CONCERNED ABOUT THE WAY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN DONE
02:15:58 IN THE PAST AND I ASKED ROB AND MICHELLE LOTS OF QUESTIONS
02:16:01 AND THEY ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS, AND I JUST WANTED FOR THE
02:16:03 RECORD TO LET THEM DIRECTLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT THE
02:16:06 PUBLIC IS GOING TO ASK US LATER.
02:16:08 THANK YOU.
02:16:08 >>ROB ROSNER: CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY IN THEIR NEW
02:16:16 POSITIONS.
02:16:17 AND I APPRECIATE THE TIME TO SPEAK.
02:16:20 JUST TO OPEN UP A QTI PROGRAM HAS EXPIRED WITH THE STATE AND
02:16:26 THEY HAVE NOT REINSTATE ADD NEW PROGRAM BUT THESE TWO ITEMS
02:16:29 31 AND 342 ARE ITEMS THAT WERE APPROVED IN THE LATE 2018.
02:16:36 QTI IS A STATE SPONSORED INCENTIVE PROGRAM TO INCENTIVIZE
02:16:41 PROGRAMS TO EXPAND TO THE STATE OR INCREASE THEIR NUMBERS OF
02:16:45 FULL TIME EMPLOYEES.
02:16:46 APPLICATIONS GO THROUGH THE STATE, AND ARE VETTED BY THE
02:16:49 STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE LOCAL PARTICIPATING JURISDICTIONS.
02:16:52 THE CITY, COUNTY AND STATE.
02:16:54 THERE IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE AND THE COMPANY AND
02:16:56 THE STATE VERIFIES JOBS THAT ARE CREATED AGREED UPON BY THE
02:17:00 COMPANY.
02:17:01 INCENTIVES ARE ONLY PAID AFTER THE JOBS ARE CREATED AND
02:17:05 VERIFIED PER THE AGREEMENT.
02:17:06 STATE REVIEWS ALL EMPLOYMENT RECORDS FOR EVERY YEAR TO
02:17:11 ENSURE THAT THE JOBS CREATED ARE MAINTAINED DURING THE
02:17:14 DURATION OF THE AGREEMENT.
02:17:15 ANNUAL INCENTIVES ARE RECEIVED WILL NEVER EXCEED THE TAXES I
02:17:19 PAID BY THE COMPANY DURING EACH INCENTIVE YEAR.
02:17:22 HOWEVER THE JOBS CREATED MUST PAY A MINIMUM OF 115% OF THE
02:17:26 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AVERAGE AT THE TIME THE AGREEMENT WAS
02:17:29 EXECUTED.
02:17:31 THERE ARE TWO QTI REQUESTS BEFORE COUNCIL TODAY, OUR
02:17:33 REQUESTS FROM THE CITY TO PARTICIPATE IN QTI INCENTIVE
02:17:37 PROGRAM, AND MOVE INTO THE CITY FROM THE COUNTY LOCATION.
02:17:41 SO THE TOTAL INCENTIVE FROM THE STATE WOULD BE 659 AND 500.
02:17:47 THE STATE PAYS 80% OF THAT WHICH REPRESENTS $527,600.
02:17:54 THE COUNTY WILL PAY 11.5% WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY $75.
02:17:59 THEY PAID A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT BECAUSE SOME OF THAT HAS
02:18:03 ALREADY BEEN PAID OUT.
02:18:04 AND THEN THE CITY WILL PAY 8.5% WHICH SHOWS ABOUT 56,212.50,
02:18:10 WHICH IS THE REST OF OUR PORTION.
02:18:13 DURING THE REMAINING YEARS OF THE AGREEMENT IF THE COMPANY
02:18:18 LEFT THE CITY.
02:18:18 NORMALLY WE PASS BOTH RESOLUTIONS AT THE TIME, AND BECAUSE
02:18:22 WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO LAND IN THE CITY OR THE
02:18:25 COUNTY BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING SELECTION PROCESS.
02:18:27 THIS ONE ACTUALLY OUTGREW THEIR SPACE AND ARE MOVING INTO
02:18:30 NEW SPACE I.WANTED TO CLARIFY THOSE THINGS FOR ITEMS 31 AND
02:18:34 32.
02:18:34 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
02:18:35 >>BILL CARLSON: THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF HIGH PROFILE
02:18:40 FAILURES IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WORLD IN TAMPA IN THE
02:18:43 LAST FEW YEARS.
02:18:49 GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZE THAT HAD FAILURES AND IT'S QTI WHICH
02:18:55 THE OLD PROGRAM STILL REGULATED BY THE STATE.
02:18:57 AND THE STATE IS GOING TO VET IT IN ADDITION TO ALL THE
02:19:00 VETTING THE CITY HAS DONE AND ANY OTHER GROUPS.
02:19:02 SO THE FACT THAT THE STATE IS INVOLVED, AND THERE ARE
02:19:05 SEVERAL GROUPS WATCHING IT, WE CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT EVERY
02:19:08 INVESTMENT WILL DO WELL, AND THE QTI IS AN INVESTMENT IN OUR
02:19:13 COMMUNITY, NOT IN A COMPANY.
02:19:15 THANK YOU.
02:19:15 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE WITH QUESTIONS? ANYONE ELSE?
02:19:21 COULD YOU MOVE ITEMS 31 THROUGH 39?
02:19:26 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE 31 THROUGH 39 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
02:19:29 38.
02:19:29 SOMEBODY ELSE CAN MOVE THAT.
02:19:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND.

02:25:35 >>RON VILA: I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ALL YOUR TIME.
02:25:43 I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG MORNING.
02:25:45 THIS IS A BACKGROUND AND BENEFITS OF THE AD VALOREM TAX
02:25:48 EXEMPTION.
02:25:49 IT HELPS TO STIMULATE THE HISTORIC DISTRICTS AND MULTIPLE
02:25:53 PROPERTIES THAT EASES THE BURDEN FOR MAINTAINING SOME OF
02:25:56 THESE PROPERTIES WITH THESE TAX INCENTIVES THAT IT HAS,
02:25:59 ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES ARE LOCAL LANDMARKS, HISTORIC
02:26:03 PROPERTIES, AND BUILDINGS WITHIN THE LOCAL HISTORIC
02:26:06 DISTRICT.
02:26:07 AND WITHIN THE DISTRICTS, EVEN THE BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION
02:26:11 OR ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION WILL REVIEW THESE
02:26:13 PROJECTS.
02:26:15 I WANT TO SHARE A PICTURE LOOKING DOWN 7th AVENUE TO THE
02:26:18 EAST FROM 13th STREET.
02:26:20 THE BUILDING IN QUESTION IS OVER HERE.
02:26:22 YOU SEE HOW IT HAS RECESSED OPENINGS, SIDEWALK, AND THE
02:26:26 CANOPY MORE HORIZONTAL FROM THE FACADE, AND THEN THE
02:26:33 ARTICULATION UP TOP.
02:26:38 THIS IS SHOWING A PHOTO OF THE FRONT FACADE FROM THE 30s.
02:26:43 YOU SEE IT HAS PEDESTRIAN FRONTING ON THE BOTTOM AND THE
02:26:47 PARAPET ON TOP.
02:26:48 THIS IS THE SANBORN MAP OF 1929, IN THE AREA IN QUESTION.
02:26:53 THIS PORTION OF THE BUILDING, YOU SEE THE CONCENTRATION OF
02:26:58 THE BRICK BUILDINGS ALONG 7th AVENUE, THE BRICK IS
02:27:02 INDICATED WITH THE RED OR THE PINK HE WILL STRAYINGS.
02:27:08 THIS IS THE BUILDING PRIOR TO RENOVATION.
02:27:10 THE BUILDING HAS STUCCO APPLIED TO THE BRICKS, AND AS THE
02:27:15 CANOPY CAME OUT MORE OF AN ANGLE THAT IS NOT HISTORICALLY
02:27:18 CORRECT.
02:27:19 AND THEN THERE WERE SOME WINDOWS THAT WERE COVERED UP.
02:27:21 AND THEN HOW IT LOOKS TODAY.
02:27:23 THE WINDOWS WERE REORIENTED TO LET IN THE NATURAL LIGHT AND
02:27:27 THEN YOU SEE THE STOREFRONT AND THE CANOPY TO BE MORE PERIOD
02:27:31 APPROPRIATE.
02:27:32 THIS IS LOOKING AT THE FRONT PRIOR TO REHABILITATION.
02:27:36 YOU SEE THE STUCCO AND THE STOREFRONTS HAVE BEEN ALTERED,
02:27:41 WITH A BARREL TILE ON TOP, AND THEN CURRENTLY HOW IT LOOKS
02:27:45 TAKE LOOKING AT THE FULL FACADE FROM THE EASTERN PORTION ALL
02:27:48 THE WAY BACK DOWN TO 13th STREET.
02:27:53 AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, THEY WANTED TO REENGAGE THE ALLEY,
02:27:57 AND HAVE THE ALLEY MORE OF A PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE AS WELL.
02:28:00 SO THE REAR OF THE BUILDING WAS ALL ENCLOSED AND YOU SEE THE
02:28:04 CONDITION OF THE ALLEY.
02:28:06 AFTER REHABILITATION, THE BRICKS WERE LAID IN THE ALLEY AND
02:28:10 THEN THE STOREFRONTS ALONG HERE THAT HAVE BUSINESSES.
02:28:16 MOVING TO THE INTERIOR, EVERYTHING WAS GUTTED.
02:28:19 THE DROP CEILINGS WERE IN PLACE.
02:28:22 AND THEN THIS FACADE IS THE ONE WHERE THE WINDOWS WERE
02:28:25 CLOSED OFF WITH THE STUCCO.
02:28:27 AND THEN HERE YOU SEE THAT THE DROP CEILINGS WERE REMOVED.
02:28:31 YOU SEE THE AMALIUM WAS RE-CREATED, AND THE WINDOWS TO LET
02:28:40 IN THE NATURAL LIGHT TO HAVE A MORE PLEASURABLE WORK
02:28:42 EXPERIENCE.
02:28:43 PRIOR TO REHABILITATION.
02:28:44 AND THEN AFTER REHABILITATION WHEN THE DROP CEILINGS WERE
02:28:47 REMOVED, THE PERIOD SKYLIGHTS TO LET IN THAT NATURAL LIGHT,
02:28:52 TO CREATE THAT BENEFICIAL WORK EXPERIENCE.
02:28:57 THIS IS ACCESSIBILITY, AND THEN HOW IT LOOKS TODAY.
02:29:02 THEN THROUGH UPSTAIRS THE ADAPTIVE REUSE SOME RESIDENTIAL
02:29:06 COMPONENTS.
02:29:06 THIS IS PRIOR TO REHABILITATION.
02:29:08 AND THEN AFTER REHABILITATION, THE FLOORS WERE REPAIRED AND
02:29:14 BROUGHT BACK TO THEIR LUSTER.
02:29:16 THE EXTERIOR WALLS.
02:29:19 AND THEN JUST A COUPLE MORE SHOTS OF HOW IT LOOKS TODAY.
02:29:28 SO THE BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION REVIEWED THIS ON JANUARY 26,

02:31:39 DESIGNATED LOCAL LANDMARKS, HISTORIC PROPERTIES AND
02:31:43 PROPERTIES WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
02:31:45 AND THIS WAS REVIEWED BY THE ARCHITECTURE REVIEW COMMISSION.
02:31:53 THIS BUILDING WAS REFERRED TO AS THE GRAHAM BOTTLING
02:31:56 BUILDING.
02:31:56 YOU SEE THE NATURE OF IT IS RED.
02:31:59 IT IS THE COLOR OF THE SANBORN MAP WHICH INDICATES THAT IT
02:32:02 WAS BRICK CONSTRUCTION, AND THEN YOU SEE THE DENSITY IN THE
02:32:06 IMMEDIATE VICINITY IN THE YELLOW WHICH IS PRECONSTRUCTION
02:32:08 WITH A HOUSING STOCK.
02:32:18 THIS IS BEFORE RENOVATION AND AFTER RENOVATION.
02:32:22 THE BUILDING WAG VACANT FOR MANY YEARS.
02:32:24 AS THIS PROGRAM WAS USED TO EXERCISE THE BENEFIT A THAT IT
02:32:29 HAS AND THE VIABILITY IT HAS IN THE DISTRICT.
02:32:36 PART OF THIS BUILDING WAS HIT BY LICENSE.
02:32:38 YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BRICKS HERE.
02:32:39 THIS WAS ALL IN THE STREET AT ONE TIME.
02:32:41 IT WAS BEING RECONSTRUCTED.
02:32:43 AND HOW IT LOOKS TODAY ON THE BOTTOM.
02:32:48 PORTION OF THE BUILDING WAS DISMANTLED WHICH WAS HERE.
02:32:51 AND THE DEMOLITION OF PART OF THE BUILDINGS THEY RE-CREATED
02:32:55 A PARKING AREA.
02:32:56 SO THIS BUILDING MEETS ALL PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
02:33:01 AS PART OF THE DEMOLITION FOR THAT PORTION, THE BRICK WAS
02:33:05 SENSE DIFFERENTLY REMOVED, AND THEN REINSTATED INTO A
02:33:09 BUILDING WHERE THERE WAS NEED FOR THE BRICK TO BE
02:33:12 REINSTATED.
02:33:14 MOVING TO THE INTERIOR, YOU SEE THE HEAVY STRUCTURAL
02:33:17 MEMBERS, PART OF THE FEATURES IN THE BUILDING AND
02:33:24 IMPLEMENTED INTO THE OVERALL CONSTRUCTION AND BECAME A
02:33:27 VISIBLE COMPONENT OF THE ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE LIVING SPACES
02:33:32 THAT ARE THERE TODAY.
02:33:35 PART OF THE SKELETON WAS THE SCOPE OF THE OWNERS, HOW THEY
02:33:38 WANTED TO LEAVE IT.
02:33:39 SO THE BEFORE YOU SEE HOW SOME WAS PEELING AWAY, AND WORKED
02:33:44 ON THE BUILDING, PEELED AWAY WHAT WAS LOOSE, AND LEFT BEHIND
02:33:48 WHAT WAS ENGAGED INTO THE BUILDING THAT SHOWS SOME OF THE
02:33:54 FRAMEWORK OF THE BUILDING.
02:33:57 INTERIOR, THEY HAD SOME WOOD SIDING ON THE UPPER LEVEL.
02:34:01 THE WOOD WAS POLISHED AND RETAINED.

02:34:39 SAYS BOOTLEGGER. IS THERE ANY INTERESTING STORY OF
02:34:44 BOOTLEGGERS?
02:34:46 >> THE BOOTLEGGERS IS THE NAME OF THE ESTABLISHMENT TODAY.
02:34:48 THE OWNERS WANTED TO ATTACH THAT TO IT SO IT HAS A LITTLE
02:34:51 MYSTIQUE TO THE.
02:34:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO WE DON'T HAVE A HISTORICAL REFERENCE

02:41:04 MR. CHAIRMAN, I AM NOT IN THE HABIT OF INTRODUCING ANY NEW
02:41:07 EVIDENCE INTO THE RECORD AT SECOND READING BUT I FEEL
02:41:10 COMPELLED TO ADDRESS TWO SIGNIFICANT LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO
02:41:14 MR. DINGFELDER'S LINE OF QUESTIONING ABOUT THE CHLORINE
02:41:16 ISSUES THAT OCCURRED DURING THE APRIL 8 HEARING AND TO
02:41:21 DOCUMENT THEM FOR THE RECORD, SHOULD COUNCIL DECIDE TODAY
02:41:25 NOT TO APPROVE THIS PROJECT.
02:41:28 SPECIFICALLY, I WANT TO ADDRESS THIS LINE OF QUESTIONING TO
02:41:31 MS. ILA REGARDING THE 1998 LEAKS AT CHEMICAL FORMULATORS,
02:41:36 THE 2005 LEAKS AT CHEMICAL FORMULATORS, AND THE GRANITEVILLE
02:41:41 RAIL CAR CRASH.
02:41:42 IT IS VERY LEGALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT
02:41:45 PRIOR TO HIS QUESTIONING OF MS. ILA THE RECORD WAS
02:41:49 COMPLETELY DEVOID OF ANY EVIDENCE OF THESE THREE MATTERS.
02:41:53 THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS EVIDENCE BY MR. DINGFELDER PRESENTS
02:41:56 TWO DISTINCT LEGAL PROBLEMS THAT I AM COMPELLED TO PUT
02:41:59 INFORMATION ON THE RECORD TO PRESERVE THE RIGHT TO APPEAL.
02:42:05 THE FIRST SCENARIO INVOLVED COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S
02:42:08 QUESTIONS STATING THAT HE GOOGLED CHLORINE SAFETY AND
02:42:11 CHEMICAL FORMULATORS BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND HEARING.
02:42:14 FLORIDA LAW IS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT MEMBERS OF A LOCAL
02:42:18 COUNCIL OR COMMISSION CANNOT ACT ON THEIR OWN INFORMATION.
02:42:23 AS EARLY AS 1962, THE COURT IN THORN V. FLORIDA REAL ESTATE
02:42:29 COMMISSION SPOKE DIRECTLY TO THIS POINT AND SAY IN PART,
02:42:33 COUNCIL WHO ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ON OR AFTER
02:42:37 A HEARING IN THE EXERCISE OF A QUASI-JUDICIAL FUNCTION
02:42:40 CANNOT ACT ON THEIR OWN INFORMATION.
02:42:42 IT IS IMPROPER FOR SUCH AN OFFICER TO BASE HIS DECISION OR
02:42:46 FINDING UPON FACTS GATHERED FROM ITS OWN RECORD WITHOUT
02:42:49 INTRODUCING THE RECORDS INTO EVIDENCE.
02:42:52 THIS CONFLICT WAS RECENTLY REAFFIRMED BY THE FLORIDA COURTS
02:42:55 IN 2020.
02:42:57 MY LEGAL CONCERN IS THIS.
02:42:59 THERE IS NO WAY AT THIS JUNCTURE FOR ME OR ANY OF US
02:43:02 INVOLVED TODAY TO KNOW WHAT INFORMATION MR. DINGFELDER
02:43:06 REVIEWED AND GOOGLE SEARCHED.
02:43:08 NOTHING WAS ENTERED INTO THE RECORD.
02:43:09 WE CAN NEVER KNOW ALL THE WEB PAGES OR SITES THAT MR.
02:43:13 DINGFELDER REVIEWED IN HIS INDEPENDENT RESEARCH.
02:43:16 WE CAN NEVER KNOW WHAT INFORMATION HE LEARNED IN HIS
02:43:18 RESEARCH AND HOW THAT MIGHT INFORM HIS THINKING ON THIS
02:43:20 ISSUE.
02:43:21 AND EVEN HIS THINKING UNCONSCIOUSLY.
02:43:26 UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS POINT IN TIME IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CURE
02:43:28 THIS PREJUDICE TO THE APPLICANT.
02:43:31 THERE IS A SECOND SCENARIO WHICH PRESENTS ANOTHER LEGAL
02:43:34 PROBLEM.
02:43:35 AND I AM COMPELLED TO PUT ADDITIONAL FACTS INTO THE RECORD.
02:43:38 AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THE ISSUE OF PREJUDICIAL EX PARTE
02:43:42 COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN WELL ESTABLISHED BY FLORIDA COURTS
02:43:44 SINCE 1991.
02:43:47 THE THIRD DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS HELD IN THE SEMINAL CASE
02:43:50 OF JENNINGS VERSUS DADE COUNTY THAT EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS
02:43:53 ARE INHERENTLY IMPROPER AND ARE A QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCEEDING.
02:44:00 QUASI-JUDICIAL OFFICERS SHOULD AVOID ALL SUCH CONTACT WHERE
02:44:03 THEY ARE IDENTIFIABLE.
02:44:05 AND FURTHER, THESE EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PRESUMED
02:44:10 PREJUDICIAL, AND IT'S COUNCIL'S BURDEN TO PROVE SUCH
02:44:14 COMMUNICATIONS WERE NOT PREJUDICIAL BY SUBSTANTIAL COMPETENT
02:44:16 EVIDENCE.
02:44:17 I AM MERELY SUBMITTING FACTS, AND THE FIRST FACT IS THAT AN
02:44:20 E-MAIL WAS SENT TO COUNCIL BY A CITIZEN AT 5:54 P.M. ON THE
02:44:24 EVENING OF APRIL 8 HEARING.
02:44:27 WE OBTAINED THIS INFORMATION THROUGH A PUBLIC RECORDS
02:44:29 REQUEST.
02:44:30 THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT AND STILL TODAY IS NOT IN THE
02:44:33 PUBLIC RECORD UNTIL WE SHOWED IT ON THE SCREEN TODAY.
02:44:37 HER E-MAIL CONTAINS FOUR LINKS.
02:44:40 THE FIRST CONTAINED A LINK ABOUT THIS REZONING PETITION, AND
02:44:46 SECOND, THE OTHER THREE LINKS WERE RELATED TO ARTICLES ABOUT
02:44:49 CHEMICAL FORMULATORS AND CHLORINE GAS LEAKS.
02:44:52 THOSE THREE LINKS COVERED THE TOPICS AND PROVIDED SPECIFIC
02:44:56 STATISTICS RELATED TO INCIDENCES.
02:44:59 THEY WERE AS FOLLOWS.
02:45:00 THE 1998 LEAK AT CHEMICAL FORMULATORS, THE 2005 LEAK AT
02:45:05 CHEMICAL FORMULATORS, AND THE GRANITEVILLE RAIL CAR CRASH.
02:45:11 I WILL REMIND YOU THAT DURING THE LAST HEARING THERE WERE
02:45:13 THREE THINGS THAT MR. DINGFELDER QUESTIONED IRA ABOUT IN
02:45:17 DETAIL WHICH WERE NOT IN THE RECORD.
02:45:18 THOSE WERE AS FOLLOWS:
02:45:20 NUMBER ONE, THE 1998 LEAK FOR CHEMICAL FORMULATORS.
02:45:26 NUMBER TWO, THE 2005 LEAK AT CHEMICAL FORMULATORS. AND
02:45:29 FINALLY THE GRANITEVILLE RAIL CAR CRASH.
02:45:32 IT IS ASSUMED THAT COUNCIL WILL NOT OPEN OR READ E-MAILS
02:45:35 RELATED TO QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS THAT ARE COMING BEFORE
02:45:38 COUNCIL FOR A VOTE, OR AT A MINIMUM COUNCIL WILL DISCLOSE
02:45:42 SUCH EX PARTE COMMUNICATION SO THAT THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE
02:45:45 PROPERLY ENTERED INTO THE RECORD AND THE APPLICANT HAS AN
02:45:48 OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE AND RESPOND BEFORE ANY VOTE IS
02:45:52 TAKEN.
02:45:54 AT THE BEGINNING OF THE APRIL 8 HEARING AND AGAIN TODAY AT
02:45:56 THIS HEARING, MR. SHELBY ASKED IF ANYONE HAD ANY EX PARTE
02:45:59 COMMUNICATIONS TO DISCLOSE AND NO ONE DISCLOSED THEY HAD ANY
02:46:03 EX PARTE COMMUNICATION.
02:46:06 SO WHETHER THIS INFORMATION USED TO CREATE THE LINE OF
02:46:10 QUESTIONING FOR MS. ILA WAS THE RESULT OF COUNCILMAN
02:46:14 DINGFELDER'S INDEPENDENT RESEARCH OR WHETHER IT WAS PROMPTED
02:46:16 THROUGH UNDISCLOSED EX PARTE COMMUNICATION, IT DOESN'T
02:46:20 REALLY MATTER BECAUSE THE END RESULT IS THE SAME.
02:46:23 THE USE OF THIS INFORMATION WAS PREJUDICIAL TO THE APPLICANT
02:46:26 AND CREATES SIGNIFICANT LEGAL PROBLEMS FOR THIS APPLICANT IF
02:46:30 THE PROJECT IS NOT APPROVED TODAY.
02:46:33 WE HOPE THAT THESE ADDITIONAL FACTS THAT WE PUT INTO THE
02:46:35 RECORD NEVER BECOME A PROBLEM FOR THE CITY AND THAT THE VOTE
02:46:39 GOES JUST LIKE IT DID THE LAST TIME.
02:46:41 AS YOU KNOW, EVERY SINGLE ISSUE THAT WE PRESENTED, THAT
02:46:45 COUNCIL PRESENTED, OR THAT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY
02:46:48 PRESENTED, WE ADDRESSED SPECIFICALLY WITH EXPERT TESTIMONY
02:46:52 AND WITH COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
02:46:56 YOU DO GREAT WORK ON THIS COUNCIL, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU,
02:47:00 AND I KNOW THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE PUBLIC
02:47:02 SERVANTS AND ONLY WANT WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE
02:47:05 COMMUNITY, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO
02:47:07 PROTECT THE PROCESS AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE DECISIONS THAT
02:47:09 YOU MAKE.
02:47:11 THANK YOU.
02:47:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
02:47:16 MR. MANASSE?
02:47:20 >>RYAN MANASSE: STAFF IS READY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
02:47:25 SHOULD COUNCIL HAVE ANY, BUT I GUESS IT'S BACK TO YOU, SIR.
02:47:27 >>ORLANDO GUDES: DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?
02:47:33 ALL RIGHT.
02:47:33 GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE FOUR FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
02:47:36 >> HELLO?
02:47:45 CAN YOU HEAR ME?
02:47:47 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE CAN HEAR YOU.
02:47:51 WE CAN'T SEE YOU, THOUGH.
02:47:52 >> EARLIER MY MICROPHONE DIDN'T WORK SO I HAVE A BACKUP
02:48:02 COMPUTER.
02:48:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MRS. WELLS?
02:48:07 >>CATE WELLS: I HATE TO INTERRUPT PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT FOR
02:48:09 THE RECORD, CATE WELLS, CHIEF ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY.
02:48:13 I DON'T KNOW AT THIS POINT GIVEN THE ISSUES RAISED BY MRS.
02:48:17 BATSEL IF MR. SHELBY WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS WHETHER OR NOT IT
02:48:22 WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR MR. DINGFELDER TO RECUSE HIMSELF.
02:48:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY?
02:48:26 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN.
02:48:28 I WOULD LIKE BEFORE WE TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT, I AM GOING TO
02:48:31 INQUIRE OF THE CLERK AND THEN I WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS
02:48:35 THAT.
02:48:35 IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU, MS. WELLS?
02:48:37 IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY NOW THAT WE SHOULD
02:48:39 DISCUSS RATHER THAN TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT?
02:48:43 I WAS ABOUT TO CONVERSE WITH THE CLERK.
02:48:45 >> HOWEVER YOU WANT TO HANDLE IT, MR. SHELBY.
02:48:49 I WAS IS JUST RAISING IT FOR THE RECORD.
02:48:52 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I APPRECIATE THAT.
02:48:53 WE'LL GET BACK TO THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN.
02:48:57 THANK YOU.
02:48:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I WILL BE RIGHT BACK, MR. CHAIR.
02:49:04 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE STILL HAVE FOUR.
02:49:07 >>THE CLERK: I HAVE THREE OUT OF THE FOUR.
02:49:27 STEPHANIE POYNER IS NOT LOGGED ON AT THIS TIME.
02:49:29 SO EVERYONE ELSE PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
02:49:34 DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY THAT YOU ARE ABOUT
02:49:36 TO GIVE IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?
02:49:38 >> YES.
02:49:43 >>THE CLERK: THANK YOU.
02:49:45 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE WILL GO WITH JEAN STROHMEYER FIRST.
02:49:48 >> SURE.
02:49:51 OKAY.
02:49:51 MY NAME IS JEAN STROHMEYER, PRESIDENT OF INTERBAY GANDY
02:49:57 CIVIC ASSOCIATION HERE TO OPPOSE ITEM 57 DUE TO THE CHEMICAL
02:50:00 PLANT BEING 500 FEET AWAY FROM THE PROPOSED APARTMENTS.
02:50:05 DEVELOPMENT OF CHANNELSIDE NOT YET CONVERTED TO RESIDENTIAL
02:50:08 UNTIL THE NIGH RATE AND CHEMICAL COMPANY LEFT.
02:50:12 OTHER HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIES IN THE PORT TAMPA AREA ARE 12 TO
02:50:16 1400 FEET AWAY.
02:50:18 CHEMICAL FORMULATOR IS CLOSE TO 500 FEET FROM THE PROPOSED
02:50:22 SITE.
02:50:22 HARBOR ISLAND CITY PLANNERS TESTIFIED THAT IT DID NOT GET
02:50:27 DEVELOPED AS RESIDENTIAL UNTIL AFTER THEY CLEANED UP WHERE
02:50:31 WHAT WAS USED BY THE COUNTY AS A MOSQUITO CONTROL AREA.
02:50:35 DANGER OF TRAINS.
02:50:36 THERE'S ONLY ONE TRAIN A DAY TO CFI.
02:50:40 IF THAT TRAIN JUST TRAVELED 20 MILES AN HOUR THAT MEANS THAT
02:50:43 RESIDENCES CLOSE TO THE TRACKS OVER 880 FEET OF THAT TRAIN
02:50:46 FOR ONE MINUTE A DAY.
02:50:48 IF IT GOES 10 MILES AN HOUR IT'S TWO MINUTES A DAY.
02:50:55 IN 2015 THERE WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK ON A CHEMICAL PLANT IN
02:51:00 FRANCE.
02:51:00 THE TERRORISTS ROLLED A VAN INTO A CHEMICAL WAREHOUSE AND IT
02:51:04 EXPLODED.
02:51:05 SECURITY EXPERTS SAY THAT SITUATION EXPOSED THE
02:51:07 VULNERABILITIES OF CHEMICAL PLANTS TO TERRORIST ATTACKS.
02:51:10 THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY CONSIDERS
02:51:13 CHEMICAL FORMULATORS WITH ITS CHLORINE GAS INDUSTRY TO BE
02:51:18 TARGET OF TERRORIST ATTACKS.
02:51:19 CFI INFORMED TAMPA CITY COUNCIL IN 2018 OF THIS
02:51:23 VULNERABILITY.
02:51:24 THEY ARE REQUIRED TO FILE INFORMATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
02:51:27 HOMELAND SECURITY AND THE COAST GUARD TO THE ONGOING CONCERN
02:51:32 ABOUT --
02:51:57 [NO ENCODER]
02:51:58 [NO ENCODER]
02:52:02 NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO INCREASE POPULATION DENSITY.
02:52:05 AS SUCH A RAPID RACE ESPECIALLY IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD.
02:52:08 TO DO THIS IS A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE OVER
02:52:12 PROFIT.
02:52:13 PLEASE DENY THIS DANGEROUS REZONING REQUEST AND VOTE YOUR
02:52:16 CONSCIENCE AND PUT LIFE BEFORE PROFIT IN OUR GREAT CITY.
02:52:19 THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.
02:52:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
02:52:24 CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
02:52:25 >> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
02:52:37 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, WE CAN.
02:52:38 >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
02:52:40 AMERICANS CHANCES OF DYING IN THE 911 TERRORIST ATTACKS WERE
02:52:46 .000001.
02:52:50 MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WENT TO WORK THAT DAY IN AN OFFICE.
02:52:57 HE DID NOT REPORT TO HIS FAIR HOUSE.
02:52:58 HE WAS A CAPTAIN IN THE FDNY BUT WAS ALSO A CHEMICAL
02:53:02 ENGINEER.
02:53:03 ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 HE WAS DEVELOPING A TRAINING CLASS FOR
02:53:07 HAZ-MAT SO HE WAS IN A NICE SAFE DESK IN A NICE SAFE OFFICE.
02:53:16 THEN THE TOWERS WERE HIT.
02:53:19 SIX WEEKS LATER, AFTER ALL HOPE WAS GONE, A MEMORIAL SERVICE
02:53:23 WAS HELD.
02:53:25 IT WAS A MEMORIAL INSTEAD OF A FUNERAL BECAUSE NOTHING WAS
02:53:29 FOUND.
02:53:30 A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THE FIRST OF HIS FOUR CHILDREN GOT
02:53:33 MARRIED.
02:53:36 AT HIS WEDDING THE DAUGHTER DANCED THE TRADITIONAL FATHER
02:53:39 DAUGHTER DANCE WITH HER UNCLE.
02:53:42 IN 2009, THE CHANCES OF A TEENAGER DYING IN A HOUSE FIRE
02:53:46 WERE ABOUT .00002.
02:53:52 MY NEPHEW WAS SAFE ON THE SIDEWALK.
02:53:56 MY NEPHEW WAS SAFE ON THE SQUAWK BUT HIS BEST FRIEND WAS
02:54:01 STILL IN THE HOUSE.
02:54:03 EVERY DAY, BETWEEN DREAMS AND REALITY, EVERY DAY THE FIRST
02:54:10 SECOND OF AWARENESS, EVERY DAY HIS PARENTS FIRST THOUGHT IS,
02:54:15 MY SON IS DEAD.
02:54:18 AND I WILL BE THAT WILL BE THEIR FIRST WAKING THOUGHT EVERY
02:54:22 DAY FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
02:54:27 DO I THINK THERE WILL BE A LEAK OF CHEMICAL -- CHEMICAL
02:54:33 FORMULATORS?
02:54:34 NO, I DO NOT.
02:54:35 I DO THINK THERE WILL BE A TERRORIST ATTACK OWN CHEMICAL
02:54:38 FORMULATORS?
02:54:39 NO, I DO NOT.
02:54:40 I DO THINK IT'S WORTH THE RISK?
02:54:42 NO, I DO NOT.
02:54:43 THERE IS A REASON PEOPLE BUY LOTTERY TICKETS AND THAT ARE
02:54:47 LONG SHOTS AT THE TRACK, BECAUSE NO MATTER IF IT'S 100 TO
02:54:52 ONE OR A MILLION TO ONE, THE ONE ALWAYS COMES IN.
02:54:57 SOONER OR LATER, THE ONE ALWAYS COMES IN.
02:55:01 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN .00001 AND ZERO CANNOT BE CALCULATED
02:55:08 WITH MATH, BECAUSE THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT A NUMBER.
02:55:14 THE DIFFERENCE IS A FAR LESS QUOTIENT OF GRIEF AND PAIN.
02:55:21 WHEN THE ONE COMES, AND IT WILL, WHEN THAT ONE COMES IN,
02:55:28 FLORIDA, TAMPA, DON'T TELL THE PUBLIC HOW SHOCKED YOU ARE
02:55:33 AND DON'T KNOW THE RISK.
02:55:35 TELL THE PUBLIC YOU DECIDED IT WAS WORTH THE RISK.
02:55:37 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
02:55:48 SHAWN BROWN.
02:55:51 >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
02:55:53 IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY, AND I WAS SPEAKING ON THIS ISSUE, IT'S
02:56:00 SOMETHING WHERE WE LOOK AT COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
02:56:04 TO SUPPORT SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE, UNFORTUNATELY THAT
02:56:07 EVIDENCE WOULD BE LIVES LOST.
02:56:11 INCIDENTS THAT OCCUR IN THE PAST AND PEOPLE WOULD HAVE DIED
02:56:14 AND WHO WOULD HAVE SUFFERED AND WHO HAVE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
02:56:19 THAT'S THE KIND OF EVIDENCE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PRESENT IN
02:56:22 ORDER TO I GUESS PROBABLY CONVINCE ALL OF YOU NOT TO APPROVE
02:56:27 THIS.
02:56:27 I DON'T THINK ANY OF YOU WANT TO EVER BE A PART OF HISTORY
02:56:32 WHERE THAT KIND OF EVIDENCE IS PART OF YOUR RECORD, AND AS
02:56:36 TRUTHFULLY WHERE IT'S AT.
02:56:40 ON RATTLESNAKE POINT THERE IS CHEMICAL FORMULATORS.
02:56:44 THERE'S OTHER INDUSTRIALS.
02:56:45 THERE IS AN ISSUE.
02:56:46 AS THEY SAID IT'S ONLY 500, 600 FEET AWAY FROM THE PLANT.
02:56:50 WHETHER YOU WANT TO TAKE THE RISK OR NOT IN ALLOWING THIS
02:56:54 TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR, WITH THAT BEING ON THAT
02:56:58 PENINSULA, RATTLESNAKE POINT IS A PENINSULA AND JUTS OUT IN
02:57:02 SOUTH TAMPA, AS BEING SOUTH TAMPA.
02:57:06 IT'S UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT RISK AND MAYBE
02:57:09 BE A PART OF I WOULD SAY A NEGATIVE PART OF HISTORY IF
02:57:12 SOMETHING WERE TO OCCUR.
02:57:13 GRANTED IT'S A BIG IF.
02:57:16 AND AS CARROLL ANN SAID, DO WE THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?
02:57:19 NO.
02:57:19 BUT THERE ARE THE RISKS.
02:57:23 WE NEVER THOUGHT 9/11 WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
02:57:26 WE NEVER THOUGHT THINGS WERE GOING TO OCCUR.
02:57:28 A FEW YEARS AGO, WATCHING IT THE OR WHATEVER HIS TITLE IS
02:57:32 VLADIMIR PUT INPUTS OUT HIS VIDEO SHOWING AREAS HE WOULD
02:57:36 ATTACK IN THE COUNTRY, SOUTH TAMPA IS ONE OF THEM BECAUSE OF
02:57:39 THE BASE.
02:57:40 BUT NEVERTHELESS, COUNTRIES LIKE THAT ARE LOOKING AT AREAS
02:57:44 TO ATTACK.
02:57:46 AND HE PUTS OUT THAT VIDEO, YOU GUYS CAN FIND THAT ONLINE.
02:57:49 IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
02:57:53 THIS IS A TOUGH DECISION, AT LEAST PRESENTED A LOT OF
02:57:56 EVIDENCE FOR THE PROPOSAL AND QUITE FRANKLY IF THAT PROJECT
02:58:00 WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE, IT WOULD BE A MUCH DIFFERENT DISCUSSION,
02:58:05 BECAUSE THEY PUT IN MIXED USE, THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING
02:58:09 COUNCIL I GUESS IN A WAY ASKED FOR EARLY ON, AND CAME BACK
02:58:13 WITH A MORE MIXED USE PROJECT, BUT THE FACT IT'S A LOCATION
02:58:16 HAS A LOT OF RISKS TO IT.
02:58:19 AND AGAIN TO PRESENT COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE WOULD
02:58:22 BE TO BASICALLY SAY SOMETHING IS ALREADY HAPPENED BEFORE
02:58:26 LOST LIVES, BEFORE INJURED, AND THAT'S THAT.
02:58:29 THAT'S THE KIND OF EVIDENCE THAT REALLY YOU ALL ARE LOOKING
02:58:32 FOR, AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
02:58:34 SO AT ANY RATE, HOPEFULLY YOU WILL TAKE THIS TO HEART, VOTE
02:58:38 YOUR CONSCIENCE AND DECIDE FOR THE BEST OF THE PEOPLE.
02:58:41 THANK YOU.
02:58:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
02:58:44 I SEE WE HAVE POYNOR?
02:58:51 >>THE CLERK: YES.
02:58:52 STEPHANIE, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
02:58:55 [OATH ADMINISTERED]
02:58:58 THANK YOU.
02:59:02 PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
02:59:04 WE CAN'T HEAR YOU.
02:59:05 >> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
02:59:10 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE HEAR YOU.
02:59:12 >> SORRY.
02:59:14 I JUST NEED TO SAY THAT BOTTOM LINE IS I HAD A LONG
02:59:18 CONVERSATION WITH THE LEADERSHIP AT THE RESERVE UNIT NEXT
02:59:23 DOOR TO THE CHEMICAL FORMULATORS.
02:59:29 YES, I SENT THE E-MAIL.
02:59:30 GUESS WHAT, I HAD SURGERY THAT DAY.
02:59:32 SO IT MAY HAVE CAME AFTER THE HEARING STARTED, BUT I DIDN'T
02:59:37 TIME ANYBODY'S, AND THOSE ARTICLES ARE WELL OPEN TO THE
02:59:43 PUBLIC.
02:59:44 IT TOOK ME ABOUT THREE SECONDS OF GOOGLING THEM.
02:59:48 I DID CALL THE CHIEF OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
02:59:54 HE CONFIRMED THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 300 YARDS FROM WHERE THE
03:00:04 SPILL TOOK PLACE, SO THESE APARTMENTS ARE GOING TO BE WELL
03:00:12 WITHIN THE DANGER RANGE.
03:00:14 AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE FOLKS AT THE RESERVE CENTER SAID
03:00:19 THAT THERE'S A SOCK OUTSIDE IN ORDER TO DESIGNATED WHICH WAY
03:00:24 THE WIND IS BLOWING SO THEY KNOW WHETHER IT'S SAFE TO PUT
03:00:32 THEIR RECRUITING CENTER -- THEIR RESERVE CENTER OR NOT, IF
03:00:34 NOT THEY HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN TO ACTUALLY VACATE THE LOT
03:00:39 NEXT DOOR TO CF, VIA WATER VEHICLES, FROM THE AMMONIA BASE
03:00:47 JUST DOWN THE ROAD.
03:00:48 SO THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS HAS A DETECTION SYSTEM THAT IS
03:00:54 SITTING ON THE BOUNDARIES.
03:00:55 I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYBODY FROM THE DEVELOPER TALK ABOUT WHAT
03:00:59 KIND OF SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES THAT THEY ARE GOING TO
03:01:02 HAVE FOR THIS.
03:01:07 I SENT AN E-MAIL DURING A MEETING, AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN
03:01:11 THAT BECAME ILLEGAL BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE COULD SEND E-MAILS
03:01:15 WHENEVER WE WANTED.
03:01:17 BUT ANYWAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:01:18 YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD EVENING.
03:01:19 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
03:01:23 WE GO BACK TO THE APPLICANT FOR REBUTTAL.
03:01:25 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, MR. CHAIRMAN, I AM GOING TO HAVE
03:01:28 TO ADDRESS SOME ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED BY MS. BATSEL AND I
03:01:32 WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT BEFORE HER REBUTTAL.
03:01:35 MS. BATSEL, HI, MARTIN SHELBY.
03:01:37 CAN YOU HEAR ME?
03:01:38 >>ELISE BATSEL: YES, SIR.
03:01:39 >> MARTIN SHELBY: LET ME, AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS A WAY TO
03:01:44 DO THIS, OKAY, YOU CAN SEE ME THERE, TOO, AND YOU CAN SEE ME
03:01:50 HERE.
03:01:51 >>ELISE BATSEL: YES, SIR.
03:01:53 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
03:01:53 MAY I MAKE A COUPLE OF INQUIRIES RELATIVE TO YOUR
03:01:57 PRESENTATION FOR THE RECORD?
03:01:58 >>ELISE BATSEL: OF COURSE.
03:01:59 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
03:02:01 THE FIRST ONE BEING WITH REGARD TO THE LETTER THAT YOU
03:02:06 DISPLAYED TO COUNCIL.
03:02:10 HAS THAT BEEN, OTHER THAN THE SCREEN SHOT OF IT, HAS THAT
03:02:14 BEEN PROVIDED TO THE CITY AS OF YET?
03:02:19 >>ELISE BATSEL: NO, IT HAS NOT.
03:02:22 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND WAS IT YOUR REPRESENTATION JUST SO I
03:02:24 AM CLEAR, WAS IT YOUR REPRESENTATION THAT THAT EX PARTE
03:02:28 COMMUNICATION, THAT WRITTEN EX PARTE COMMUNICATION --
03:02:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. SHELBY, LET ME INTERRUPT YOU FOR A
03:02:36 SECOND AS A POINT OF ORDER.
03:02:39 I WILL TAKE EVERYBODY OUT OF THIS AGONY.
03:02:41 THIS THING PASSED BEFORE AND OBVIOUSLY COUNCIL IS GOING TO
03:02:44 IGNORE THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION, THE PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY
03:02:49 AND WELFARE, IT'S GOING TO PASS AGAIN.
03:02:51 SO REGARDLESS, I AM GOING TO GO AHEAD AND RECUSE MYSELF,
03:02:54 BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THAT'S WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND
03:02:57 THE CITY ATTORNEY WOULD LIKE ME TO DO.
03:02:59 SO I WILL DO THAT.
03:03:00 I WILL RECUSE MYSELF, AND I WILL WALK OUT OF THE ROOM AT
03:03:02 THIS POINT.

03:30:49 I JUST HAD ONE MOTION IF I MAY.
03:30:52 LAST NIGHT I WAS OUT AT K-BAR RANCH OVER IN NEW TAMPA, AND
03:30:56 THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT ISSUES OUT THERE AT K-BAR RANCH
03:31:01 INVOLVING THE PUBLIC SAFETY.
03:31:04 FOUR OUT OF THE SIX FIRE STATIONS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA WITH
03:31:07 THE LONGEST RESPONSE TIMES ARE IN NEW TAMPA AND IT SEEMS
03:31:09 THAT K-BAR RANCH BEARS THE BRUNT OF THAT.
03:31:12 SO MANY DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED OF 700,
03:31:16 I THINK IT WAS, NEW HOMES OUT THERE, MAYBE TWO AND A HALF OR
03:31:20 SO YEARS AGO, AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH MANSFIELD,
03:31:25 FIRE SAFETY ISSUES, I GUESS IT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO THE MAYOR
03:31:28 AND I WERE DOING A TOWN HALL OUT THERE AND THAT NIGHT IN
03:31:32 K-BAR RANCH THERE WAS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT WHERE A MOTHER WITH
03:31:35 A 12-YEAR-OLD SON, THERE WAS A CRASH, AND SHE DROWNED AND
03:31:40 DIED OUT THERE.
03:31:41 AND JUST A LOT OF DIFFERENT ISSUES.
03:31:43 I WOULD LIKE TO DO A WORKSHOP IF I MAY ON K-BAR RANCH PUBLIC
03:31:48 SAFETY AND MOBILITY ISSUES.
03:31:50 JUST TO BRING THAT TO THE FOREFRONT.
03:31:52 I KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL BOOKED IN JUNE.
03:31:54 WHAT WOULD BE THE NEXT WORKSHOP THAT'S AVAILABLE?
03:31:57 I WAS LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR HERE.
03:32:03 WHAT'S THE NEXT ONE THAT'S AVAILABLE?
03:32:05 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT AVAILABLE WILL BE SEPTEMBER 23rd.

03:32:24 ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
03:32:26 >>LUIS VIERA: NO.
03:32:26 I WANTED TO POINT OUT AS WELL IF I MAY, WASN'T IT YESTERDAY,
03:32:30 THE DID IT COMMISSION PASSED $7.5 MILLION, THE NEW TAMPA
03:32:36 ARTS CENTER, AND I ALWAYS LIKE TO JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE
03:32:42 CREDIT IS DUE, BUT FORMER COUNTY COMMISSIONER VICTOR CRIST,
03:32:47 AND REALLY WORKED ON THAT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND HE'S NO
03:32:50 LONGER IN OFFICE, AND JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO HIM
03:32:54 FOR HIS LONG WORK.
03:32:55 THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF WORK THAT WORKED ON THAT, CITY
03:32:57 STAFF, OTHER COMMISSIONERS, ET CETERA.
03:32:59 BUT THAT WAS SOMETHING, I THINK HE WAS PROBABLY A STATE
03:33:03 SENATOR, I'M THINKING BACK THEN, HE STARTED WORKING ON ARTS,
03:33:07 AND COMMUNITY VENUES FOR NEW AND NORTH TAMPA WITH THE IDEA
03:33:12 BEING THE FIRST OF WHAT WOULD BECOME THE UACDC WHICH IS HIS
03:33:18 BABY.
03:33:19 MAYBE HE'S ONE OF NUMEROUS FATHERS AND MOTHERS, BUT
03:33:22 CERTAINLY HIS BABY, THE UACDC, AND PART OF THAT VISION WAS
03:33:26 FOR NEW TAMPA TO HAVE AN ARTS CENTER, AND THAT PASSED
03:33:30 YESTERDAY.
03:33:30 SO AGAIN KUDOS TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR
03:33:35 FORMER COMMISSIONER AND STATED SENATOR VICTOR CRIST.
03:33:41 I WANTED TO ABSOLUTE HIM.
03:33:42 SO THANK YOU.

03:34:46 ALL IN FAVOR?
03:34:47 ANY OPPOSED?
03:34:48 MOTION CARRIED.
03:34:48 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE LAST ONE, WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING
03:34:53 ITEM NUMBER 8, I KEPT TALKING ABOUT A WORKSHOP, BUT I COP
03:34:58 SEE THAT I ERRED IN MY OWN JUDGMENT WHEN I VOTED FOR THE
03:35:03 CONTINUATION OF NUMBER 8.
03:35:04 AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT REVIEWED AGAIN, TAKE ANOTHER
03:35:07 VOTE.
03:35:10 >>MARTIN SHELBY: A MOTION TO RECONSIDER, MR. MIRANDA?
03:35:13 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES, SIR.
03:35:14 WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING ITEM NUMBER 8, I MENTIONED TWO OR
03:35:18 THREE TIMES ABOUT A WORKSHOP, AND I ERRED AND I VOTED FOR
03:35:23 CONTINUATION OF ITEM NUMBER 8 INSTEAD OF WORK SHOPPING ITEM
03:35:26 NUMBER 8.
03:35:27 THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO.
03:35:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THAT'S WHAT MY MOTION WAS.
03:35:32 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S FINE.
03:35:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHERE ARE WE AT NOW?
03:35:36 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I THOUGHT IT WAS TO CONTINUE ITEM NUMBER
03:35:38 8.
03:35:38 I WANTED A WORKSHOP.
03:35:39 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IT'S A WORK SHOWN.
03:35:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND TO INCLUDE THE LANGUAGE THAT I
03:35:45 OFFERED.
03:35:45 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IT WAS TO PUT IT TO A WORKSHOP, CORRECT?
03:35:52 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S FINE.
03:35:53 I THOUGHT I MADE A MISTAKE AND I MADE A MISTAKE BY THINKING
03:35:57 I MADE A MISTAKE.
03:35:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
03:36:01 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S IT.
03:36:01 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:36:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I GOT A MEMO IN REFERENCE TO THE BUDGET
03:36:09 AND FINANCE COMMITTEE.
03:36:10 AS NOW, WE TALKED LAST YEAR REFERENCE TO MAKING SURE THAT
03:36:14 YOU HAVE PEOPLE ON THAT BOARD IN FINANCE AND BUNDLING SO
03:36:19 WHEN YOU MAKE THE REAPPOINTMENTS, AGAIN, GOT A GOOD PERSON
03:36:27 ON THERE, AND IT'S GOING TO BE KEY.
03:36:32 BUT I GET CALLS FROM THE PAST CHAIR AND APPARENTLY THE PHONE
03:36:38 CALLS HAVEN'T BEEN RECEIVED AND RETURNED SO I AM GLAD THAT
03:36:43 MR. MIRANDA AND MARY ARE ON THAT NOW.
03:36:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT DETAIL,
03:36:50 FOCUS, THERE YOU GO.
03:36:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES: OH, YES.
03:36:52 I KNOW.
03:36:53 MR. DINGFELDER, HOW ABOUT YOU, SIR?
03:36:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN.
03:36:56 TWO ITEMS.
03:36:57 ONE, I WOULD LIKE FOR COUNCIL TO HAVE BEEN -- INTERESTING
03:37:02 LEGAL QUESTION CAME UP TODAY, AND I WOULD LIKE COUNCIL TO
03:37:05 DIRECT MR. SHELBY TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND COME BACK TO US
03:37:11 WITH NOT NECESSARILY A LEGAL MEMORANDUM OR ANYTHING THAT
03:37:14 FORMAL, BUT JUST SOME INFORMATION TO GIVE US FUTURE
03:37:18 GUIDANCE, AND THAT'S SPECIFICALLY AS RELATED TO THIS
03:37:20 QUESTION OF EX PARTE INFORMATION.
03:37:22 SO THE INSINUATION IS WE HAVE TO VIEW THESE REZONINGS WITH A
03:37:28 TOTALLY BLANK SLATE WITH NOTHING IN OUR MIND.
03:37:31 AND MY CONCERN IS, WE ALL BRING TO THE TABLE GENERAL
03:37:36 KNOWLEDGE, HISTORIC KNOWLEDGE, MR. MIRANDA HAS AN AMAZING
03:37:40 HISTORIC KNOWLEDGE AND HE REMINDS US ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WITH
03:37:45 NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, SOMETIMES EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A
03:37:48 REZONING, A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE MIGHT COME OUT EITHER IN THE
03:37:53 BUSINESS JOURNAL OR THE TIMES OR WHAT HAVE YOU ABOUT THAT
03:37:55 REZONING.
03:37:56 SO IT'S LIKE, WELL, DO WE ALL DISCLOSE THAT WE READ THAT
03:38:01 NEWSPAPER ARTICLE?
03:38:02 I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.
03:38:04 BUT THAT ISSUE CAME UP TODAY, AND IT KIND OF TOOK ME BY
03:38:09 SURPRISE A LITTLE BIT.
03:38:10 AND THEN I THINK WE ARE ALL CREATURES OF GOOGLE NOW.
03:38:14 I MEAN, HOW MANY OF US AT ONE POINT IN EVERY SINGLE DAY OF
03:38:17 OUR LIVES MIGHT SAY, OH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, LET ME
03:38:22 GOOGLE THAT, AND THEREFORE WE DID.
03:38:27 AND I AM NOT TRYING TO DIRECT THAT RESEARCH IN ANY WAY AT
03:38:30 ALL.
03:38:30 BUT I THINK FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, FOR PURPOSES OF
03:38:34 QUASI-JUDICIAL, WE NEED TO HAVE SOME GUIDANCE FROM MR.
03:38:36 SHELBY ON THAT ISSUE.
03:38:39 AND SO I THINK IT'S A VERY HARMLESS MOTION, AND I WOULD ASK
03:38:44 FOR A SECOND.
03:38:44 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND.
03:38:46 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY MR. DINGFELDER.
03:38:47 SECOND BY MR. VIERA. DID YOU 2021 SAY SOMETHING, MR.
03:38:50 SHELBY?
03:38:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I AM HAPPY TO DO THAT FOR CITY COUNCIL.
03:38:53 THANK YOU.
03:38:53 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL IN FAVOR?
03:38:55 ANY OPPOSED?
03:38:56 MOTION CARRIED.
03:38:56 ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
03:38:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
03:38:59 AND MR. CHAIRMAN, GOING BACK TO 2016, AND I WAITED UNTIL WE
03:39:07 DON'T HAVE ANY RATTLESNAKE POINT ISSUES ON OUR PLATE, BUT
03:39:10 GOING BACK TO 2016, THE COUNCIL IN 2016 WAS FACED WITH THE
03:39:17 ISSUE OF ABOUT A TEXT AMENDMENT THAT WAS A PRIVATELY
03:39:21 INITIATED TEXT AMENDMENT THAT CHANGED THE LANGUAGE OF THAT
03:39:25 CHEMICAL PLANT ISSUE AND SIGNIFICANTLY, OKAY?
03:39:30 THAT CHANGE WAS OPPOSED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION --
03:39:36 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WAIT.
03:39:39 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY.
03:39:42 >>THE CLERK: WITH ALL DUE RESPECT AND PERHAPS IT'S NOT
03:39:44 INAPPROPRIATE.
03:39:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WORKSHOP IT.
03:39:47 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IS WE ARE IN THE
03:39:51 30-DAY APPEAL PERIOD.
03:39:53 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE WORKSHOP IT IN AUGUST.
03:39:55 OR SEPTEMBER.
03:39:55 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WOULD JUST BE CONCERNED ABOUT TALKING
03:40:01 ABOUT SPECIFIC --
03:40:04 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WON'T GET INTO SPECIFICS.
03:40:05 ALL I WILL SAY IS, AS A MATTER OF RECORD, I WAS READING
03:40:08 TODAY'S RECORD, AS A MATTER OF RECORD, THE PLANNING
03:40:11 COMMISSION VOTED AGAINST THAT PLAN AMENDMENT, AND OUR CITY
03:40:16 STAFF, OUR VERY OWN LACHONE DOCK, WROTE TO DAVID HEY AND
03:40:22 RECOMMENDED THE CITY'S POSITION WAS AGAINST THAT AMENDMENT.
03:40:24 SO I WOULD LIKE TO WORKSHOP THAT AMENDMENT IN LET'S SAY
03:40:29 SEPTEMBER, AND SEE IF WE STILL FEEL THAT THAT AMENDMENT WAS
03:40:35 APPROPRIATE OR MAYBE WE NEED TO REVISIT THAT AMENDMENT.
03:40:39 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND.
03:40:40 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY MR. DINGFELDER,
03:40:42 SECOND BY MR. MANISCALCO.
03:40:44 ALL IN FAVOR?
03:40:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: FOR SPECIFICITY THAT WAS COMP PLAN
03:40:47 AMENDMENT 16-02.
03:40:50 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY OPPOSED?
03:40:51 MOTION CARRIED.
03:40:51 >>THE CLERK: WOULD THAT BE A TIME SPECIFIC FOR 10:30?
03:40:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, MA'AM.
03:40:57 THANK YOU.
03:40:59 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
03:41:00 THAT'S ALL I HAVE GOT.
03:41:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I PASS THE GAVEL TO YOU, SIR.
03:41:04 >>LUIS VIERA: I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GOING, MS. WELLS WAS
03:41:09 GOING TO SAY SOMETHING.
03:41:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MRS. WELLS, I'M SORRY.
03:41:12 >>CATE WELLS: I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY, BUT I THOUGHT I
03:41:17 UNDERSTOOD COUNCIL'S MOTION FOR ITEM NUMBER 8, BUT WITH THE
03:41:22 DISCUSSION, COUNCIL JUST HAD, SPECIFICALLY COUNCILMAN
03:41:27 MIRANDA, I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHAT THE ACTION IS, BECAUSE I
03:41:30 UNDERSTOOD THAT IT'S A CONTINUANCE OF THE ITEM IN ORDER TO
03:41:36 WORKSHOP IT IN JUNE.
03:41:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CONTINUANCE OF THE ITEM TO WORKSHOP IT
03:41:42 IN JUNE BUT TO NOT ONLY WORKSHOP IT BUT TO FLUSH OUT THE
03:41:46 CHANGES THAT I PROPOSED TODAY, AND TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE
03:41:49 WORKSHOP.
03:41:49 >>CATE WELLS: OKAY, AS I UNDERSTOOD COUNCILMAN MIRANDA
03:41:53 SAYING NOT CONTINUE THAT ITEM.
03:42:05 >>...WHETHER DINGFELDER WOULD SHUT UP, AND SURE ENOUGH.
03:42:06 >> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
03:42:07 >>LUIS VIERA: WE CAN HEAR WHOEVER IS SAYING -- WE CAN
03:42:10 HEAR -- I'M SORRY, MR. CHAIR.
03:42:11 >> UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDN'T HEAR IT.
03:42:16 >>LUIS VIERA: I HEARD ENOUGH. I HEARD SOMETHING.
03:42:17 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WHOA, WHOA.
03:42:24 MR. MIRANDA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
03:42:25 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: AS IT COMES DOWN, I WAS ASKING MR.
03:42:25 DINGFELDER EARLIER, WE GET FROM VERBIAGE FROM YOU GUYS UP
03:42:31 THERE SITTING, BUT ALL THIS PLASTIC, BY THE TIME IT GETS TO
03:42:34 US, IT'S HALF MUMBLED.
03:42:36 WE DON'T HEAR IT AS WELL.
03:42:38 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE HEARD YOU.
03:42:39 >>BILL CARLSON: I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THAT WAS A
03:42:45 STAFF MEMBER OR SOMEONE ELSE OR BECAUSE THAT WAS COMPLETELY
03:42:48 INAPPROPRIATE.
03:42:48 >> I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
03:42:48 >>BILL CARLSON: WHAT THEY SAID WAS, IF MR. DINGFELDER WOULD
03:42:51 JUST SHUT UP.
03:42:55 IF IT WAS A STAFF MEMBER -- IF IT WAS A STAFF MEMBER --
03:43:01 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CARLSON HAS THE FLOOR.
03:43:03 >>BILL CARLSON: IT'S UNACCEPTABLE.
03:43:05 SURE, THE STAFF REPORTS TO THE MAYOR, BUT CITY COUNCIL HAS
03:43:09 TO WORK WITH STAFF, AND THAT WAS AN INAPPROPRIATE COMMENT IF
03:43:12 A STAFF MEMBER MADE THAT, AND CHIEF BENNETT IS ON THERE AND
03:43:16 I KNOW THAT'S NOT REFLECTIVE OF HOW HE OR THE MAYOR FEELS.
03:43:19 THANK YOU.
03:43:19 >>JOHN BENNETT: GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
03:43:23 JOHN BENNETT, CHIEF OF STAFF.
03:43:25 FIRST, UNRELATED TO WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT,
03:43:28 CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYBODY WHO RECEIVED A CHAIR, PRO TEM
03:43:32 OR VICE CHAIR ROLL TODAY.
03:43:34 FIRST TIME I HAVE BEEN ON THIS AFTERNOON SO I WANT TO TAKE
03:43:36 THAT MOMENT.
03:43:37 AND THANKS TO PREVIOUS CHAIRMAN MANISCALCO FOR HIS SERVICE
03:43:44 THROUGH THE LAST YEAR.
03:43:46 I ALSO PICKED UP ON THE COMMENT, AND I WILL WORK WITH TNI TO
03:43:52 FIGURE OUT WHO IS ONLINE, WHETHER IT WAS THE PRIVATE SECTOR
03:43:55 OR THE PUBLIC SIDE, AND SEE WHAT I CAN BRING BACK.
03:43:59 BUT, YEAH, WE DON'T TOLERATE ANY KIND OF BEHAVIOR THAT'S NOT
03:44:03 CONDUCIVE TO SERVING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH OUR CONTINUED
03:44:06 PARTNERSHIP.
03:44:07 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JUST AS LONG AS I CAN BE ASSURED IT
03:44:11 WASN'T YOU.
03:44:11 [ LAUGHTER ]
03:44:14 I'M JUST KIDDING.
03:44:19 ALL RIGHT.
03:44:19 >>JOHN BENNETT: ANYWAY, THANK YOU.
03:44:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
03:44:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MRS. WELLS, YOU CAN CONTINUE.
03:44:27 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK THE QUESTION REALLY GOES TO
03:44:30 CHARLIE.
03:44:31 IS THERE ANY CONFUSION AS TO MY MOTION?
03:44:34 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I DON'T KNOW WHAT -- ALL I KNOW IS WE
03:44:37 TALKED ABOUT NUMBER 8.
03:44:38 WE TALKED ABOUT HOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WORK SHOPPING THE
03:44:41 WHOLE THING FROM THE BEGINNING.
03:44:43 BECAUSE TO GO THROUGH THE LEGAL PROCESS, I DON'T THINK WE
03:44:47 DID ENOUGH WORK TO MAKE THE REPRESENTATION LEGALLY ONE WAY
03:44:50 OR THE OTHER.
03:44:51 AND I JUST WANTED TO CLEAR IT UP, HAVE A WORKSHOP, HAVE THE
03:44:54 PEOPLE COME IN, BECAUSE THE WAY I WAS READING IT, IT COMES
03:44:57 IN FOR FIRST READING AND TWO WEEKS LATER FOR SECOND READING,
03:45:01 AND CERTAINLY DIDN'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY INPUT
03:45:05 FROM BOTH SIDES, FROM LEFT OR RIGHT OR RIGHT TO LEFT, AND I
03:45:10 THOUGHT I WAS WORK SHOPPING THE WHOLE IDEA SO LATER ON YOU
03:45:14 CAN BRING IT BACK TO FIRST READING.
03:45:16 THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
03:45:17 AND I VOTED THE WRONG WAY IF THERE WAS ANY OTHER WAY.
03:45:21 I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT IN A WORKSHOP AND THEN THAT SAME
03:45:26 DAY AT FIRST READING, I DON'T THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE.
03:45:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE INTENT IS JUST DO WORKSHOP.
03:45:34 SO --
03:45:35 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT'S THE WAY I INTERPRET IT.
03:45:37 MR. MIRANDA, WAS JUST A WORKSHOP AND WE WOULD GO FROM THERE.
03:45:40 I DON'T THINK ANYTHING WAS A FIRST READING AT THAT WORKSHOP,
03:45:43 OR ANY TYPE OF INTENT THAT WAY.
03:45:46 BUT MY ANTENNAS WERE UP BECAUSE I CAN TELL THAT THE SMOKE
03:45:54 DIDN'T REALLY CLEAR RIGHT NOW BUT AGAIN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
03:46:00 TO RAISE THAT, AND AGAIN, THE WAY I INTERPRET IT, IT WAS A
03:46:04 WORKSHOP OF ALL THE RESPECTERS OF THE SITUATION AND WE WOULD
03:46:10 MOVE FROM THERE BUT THERE WAS NOTHING OF AN ORDINANCE COMING
03:46:13 BACK TO MY UNDERSTANDING.
03:46:15 IS THAT CORRECT, MR. DINGFELDER?
03:46:16 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR.
03:46:17 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE QUESTION THEN, MR. MIRANDA, ARE YOU
03:46:19 WITHDRAWING YOUR MOTION?
03:46:20 ARE YOU SATISFIED, SIR?
03:46:22 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SATISFIED JUST FOR A WORKSHOP.
03:46:27 THAT'S WHAT I SAID IN THE BEGINNING.
03:46:28 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL SATISFIED?
03:46:31 MS. WELLS, IN ADDITION ELSE, MA'AM?
03:46:33 >>CATE WELLS: THANK YOU.
03:46:34 THAT'S IT.
03:46:34 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, CAN I PASS THE GAVEL TO
03:46:37 YOU, SIR?
03:46:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: GOT IT.
03:46:40 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THE
03:46:44 TAMPA JUNIOR COALITION TO RECEIVE A COMMENDATION HONORING
03:46:47 OUR EFFORTS IN BRINGING CULTURAL AWARENESS TO THE COMMUNITY
03:46:50 ABOUT BLACK HISTORY PRESENTED AT THE JUNE 3rd,
03:46:53 JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION IN TAMPA.
03:46:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE HAVE A MOTION.
03:47:01 DID WE HAVE A SECOND?
03:47:02 ALL IN FAVOR?
03:47:03 ANY OPPOSED?
03:47:05 CARRY ON.
03:47:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MY SECOND ONE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A
03:47:09 MOTION FOR STAFF TO GIVE DETAILS FOR THE PROGRESS OR
03:47:12 DIRECTION FOR THE REPAIR OF A SEAWALL IN THE PALMETTO BEACH
03:47:18 BERMUDA ISLAND.
03:47:19 I WOULD LIKE THIS TO TAKE PLACE AT A JUNE 3rd REGULAR
03:47:22 SESSION OF COUNCIL.
03:47:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE HAVE A MOTION BY THE CHAIRMAN.
03:47:26 SECOND BY MR. MIRANDA.
03:47:27 ANY CONVERSATION?
03:47:30 I BELIEVE MR --
03:47:32 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I BELIEVE MR. MANISCALCO HAD HIS HAND
03:47:34 BEFORE I SAID AYE.
03:47:35 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CITRO, DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT?
03:47:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, PLEASE.
03:47:41 AND IF I MAY, I WANT TO REALLY HEAR THIS WORKSHOP AND THIS
03:47:46 REPORT BUT WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT DIFFERENCES DURING SEA
03:47:50 LEVEL RISE INSTEAD OF REPAIRING SEAWALLS TO MAKING SURE THAT
03:47:55 MANGROVES GO IN.
03:47:56 SO WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT THAT ALSO DURING THIS REPORT.
03:48:00 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
03:48:03 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO YOU WANT TO INCLUDE THAT IN YOUR
03:48:04 MOTION?
03:48:06 THINK, WOULD BE FINE SIR.
03:48:07 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND BY MR.
03:48:09 MANISCALCO.
03:48:09 ALL IN FAVOR?
03:48:10 ANY OPPOSED?
03:48:12 CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
03:48:13 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALSO, WE HAVE GOT A MOTION FROM CAROLE
03:48:21 POST IN REFERENCE TO THE STAFF REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
03:48:29 CHAPTER 27 ASKING FOR IT TO BE WORKSHOPPED ON MAY 27th.
03:48:36 IS THAT CORRECT, MR. SHELBY?
03:48:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WAS PROVIDED, THAT MEMO WAS PROVIDED
03:48:42 TO CITY COUNCIL, AND THE CLERK DOES HAVE A COPY OF IT.
03:48:47 IT'S A MOTION ON MAY 27th WORKSHOP.
03:48:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO WE HAVE A TIME CERTAIN, MADAM CLERK?
03:48:59 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT.
03:49:01 IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAY CALENDAR, THAT WAS BEFORE COUNCIL
03:49:04 HIGH PRESSURE ITS SPECIAL DISCUSSION MEETING AND TAKING
03:49:07 ACTION AND IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A WORK IN PROGRESS WHEN WE
03:49:09 BRING BACK THE RULES.
03:49:10 BUT ALSO FOR 9:00, IF YOU LOOK AT THE WAY THEY ARE GROUPED,
03:49:14 SEVERAL OF THEM ARE GROUPED FOR THE PURE PROJECT AND I
03:49:18 BELIEVE THERE'S A MEMO THAT'S GOING TO BE FOLLOWING RELATING
03:49:21 TO ADDING TO THE PURE PROJECT.
03:49:23 THEN THERE ARE THE CHAPTER 27 DISCUSSIONS, AND THAT TAKES
03:49:28 PLACE SOMEWHERE AS TO THE SECOND FROM THE LAST.
03:49:32 SO PERHAPS, TO ADD THESE, WE CAN ASK THE CLERK TO GROUP THEM
03:49:36 WITH THE ADMINISTRATION, TO GROUP THEM IN SORT OF AN ORDER.
03:49:40 OTHERWISE IT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT.
03:49:42 YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THAT THE DAY OF THE WORKSHOP.
03:49:48 IF YOU SET IT FOR THE 9:00 AS ALL THE OTHERS, IF IT'S
03:49:51 COUNCIL'S DIRECTION TO GROUP THEM BY SUBJECT MATTER, WE CAN
03:49:54 RESET THEM IN A CERTAIN ORDER WITH THE ADMINISTRATION.
03:49:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HOLD ON A SECOND, BILL. CAN WE RESET
03:50:04 THE TWO WEEKS FROM NOW AND STILL HAVE TIME BEFORE THE ACTUAL
03:50:09 WORKSHOP?
03:50:10 MR. SHELBY?
03:50:12 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU MEAN REORDER THEM?
03:50:14 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AGREE.
03:50:15 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, I SUSPECT WE CAN.
03:50:16 MADAM CLERK?
03:50:18 >> THAT WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE.
03:50:20 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CARLSON, YOUR COMMENT?
03:50:23 >>BILL CARLSON: SORRY.
03:50:24 I WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY IF THE PURE PROJECT CONTINUES
03:50:28 TO MOVE FORWARD THAT CROWDS ARE GOING TO GET LARGER AND
03:50:30 LARGER AND PUBLIC COMMENT.
03:50:31 SO IT COULD BE LONG PUBLIC COMMENT THAT DAY.
03:50:34 THAT'S JUST THE NEXT MEETING BUT THEY ARE GOING TO GET
03:50:38 LARGER AND LARGER.
03:50:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: EVEN MORE REASON TO TRY TO SEGREGATE THE
03:50:41 TOTALLY DIFFERENT ISSUES FROM EACH OTHER DURING THAT
03:50:47 SESSION, MR. CHAIRMAN.
03:50:48 >>ORLANDO GUDES: RECEIVED A SECOND MEMO FROM CHIEF OF STAFF
03:50:52 REGARDING COUNCIL IN CHAMBERS.
03:50:53 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT'S ACTUALLY A THIRD ONE, SIR.
03:50:59 IF WE COULD GO BACK TO THE MAY 27th WORKSHOP FOR THE
03:51:07 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS FOR THE 5% OF DIMENSIONAL CRITERIA AS
03:51:11 STATED IN THE MOTION, IT'S WHAT I GUESS THE ADMINISTRATION
03:51:14 IS CALLING ADMINISTRATIVE LAW CREATION, I BELIEVE THAT WAS
03:51:20 AT COUNCIL'S INITIATIVE TO BRING TO THE ADMINISTRATION TO
03:51:22 ASK FOR.
03:51:24 HAS THAT BEEN ADDED TO THE MAY 27 WORKSHOP OR IS THAT STILL
03:51:28 TO BE VOTED ON?
03:51:30 >> STILL TO BE VOTED ON.
03:51:31 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. CAN WE
03:51:35 TAKE A VOTE TO ADD THAT TO THE MAY 27th WORKSHOP?
03:51:38 BECAUSE WOULD WHAT COULD HAPPEN, COUNCIL, WHEN YOU COME BACK
03:51:41 WITH THE UPDATED CALENDAR YOU WILL SEE WHAT'S ON MAY
03:51:43 27th AND QUITE FRANKLY YOU HAVE AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
03:51:46 MEETING GENERALLY, AND TWO DECISIONS FROM THE ZONING
03:51:51 ADMINISTRATOR, TWO REVIEW HEARINGS, IT LOOKS LIKE.
03:51:55 BUT THEY ARE ALL SIMILARLY RELATED.
03:51:58 AND THERE'S ANOTHER MOTION, IF YOU TAKE THIS MOTION ON THE
03:52:01 SAME PAGE FROM ABBEY FEELEY, REQUESTING ANOTHER ISSUE
03:52:06 RELATED TO CHAPTER 27, THAT THEY ARE ALSO ASKING FOR MAY
03:52:09 27th.
03:52:10 >>THE CLERK: MARTY THAT ONE IS ALREADY PLACED ON THE AGENDA
03:52:12 FOR THE 27TH.
03:52:14 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT ALREADY IS?
03:52:15 OKAY.
03:52:15 THANK YOU.
03:52:16 OKAY, GOOD.
03:52:17 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO, MR. CHAIRMAN HAS A PROPOSAL FROM
03:52:21 STAFF TO ADD THE ADDITIONAL CHAPTER 27 ITEM.
03:52:26 WE NEED TO VOTE ON THAT FIRST?
03:52:28 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES.
03:52:29 MOTION AND SECOND THAT'S ON THE FLOOR.
03:52:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE HAVE A SECOND?
03:52:32 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND.
03:52:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CITRO SECOND.
03:52:35 ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION FURTHER?
03:52:37 ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION?
03:52:39 ANY OPPOSED?
03:52:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOW, MADAM CLERK --
03:52:42 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THEN MR. SHELBY, INFORMALLY, I GUESS
03:52:45 AT SOME POINT TWO WEEKS FROM NOW YOU WILL COME BACK AND HELP
03:52:48 US ORGANIZE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE 27th?
03:52:50 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, SIR.
03:52:51 PERHAPS THE CLERK CAN WORK WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND I
03:52:53 WILL CERTAINLY PARTICIPATE IN THAT TO DO THAT.
03:52:56 IF I CAN INQUIRE OF THE CLERK WITH REGARD TO BRAD BAIRD'S
03:53:00 MEMORANDUM REQUESTING FOR ITEMS, DID YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT
03:53:03 UP NEXT?
03:53:04 >> YES.
03:53:05 THAT IS THE NEXT MOTION, AND THIS ONE IS DULY REQUESTING TO
03:53:09 BE SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 24th WORKSHOP.
03:53:12 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I GUESS THAT'S ME, MR. CHAIRMAN.
03:53:19 YOU CAN TAKE IT BACK.
03:53:20 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
03:53:28 WE JUST NEED A SECOND ON THE MOTION.
03:53:30 >> SECOND.
03:53:31 >> ON BEHALF OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT, IT LOOKS LIKE, LET'S
03:53:38 SEE, THEY ARE REQUESTING THAT THE -- WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
03:53:44 EXACTLY?
03:53:44 THE ADMINISTRATION REQUESTING THAT THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
03:53:48 UPDATE WHICH INCLUDES THE FINDING FROM THE FOUR COMMUNITY
03:53:51 CONVERSATIONS OF PUBLIC SURVEY BE PROVIDED AT COUNCIL'S JUNE
03:53:55 24th, 2021 WORKSHOP.
03:53:57 THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION.
03:53:58 >> SECOND.
03:54:00 >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL IN FAVOR?
03:54:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND DO WE PUT A TIME ON THAT, MR.
03:54:05 SHELBY?
03:54:09 MISS CLERK?
03:54:10 >> THE NEXT AVAILABLE TIME IS 11:30.
03:54:16 11:30 A.M.
03:54:20 I TAKE THAT BACK.
03:54:22 THE MOTION YOU MADE EARLIER WAS SET FOR 11:30 A.M.
03:54:26 I DON'T KNOW IF WE SET IT IF YOU ARE TAKING A BREAK.
03:54:33 WE CAN SET IT AFTER THE BREAK.
03:54:37 JUNE 24th.
03:54:38 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE SET THAT NEW,
03:54:48 OR -- SET IT FOR 11:30 AND CERTAINLY I WILL WORK WITH THE
03:54:54 CHAIR TO BE ABLE TO WORK OUT THE TIMING ISSUES.
03:54:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: FOR NOW JUNE 24th AT 11:30.
03:54:59 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE ARE GOING TO GO OVER ANYWAY.
03:55:05 SO TIME CERTAIN REALLY ISN'T GOING TO HELP HALF THE TIME TO
03:55:09 BE HONEST WITH YOU.
03:55:11 IF WE HAVE THAT MANY.
03:55:13 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'M HAPPY TO HELP YOU.
03:55:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: AGAIN I HAVE A MEMO FROM THE CHIEF OF
03:55:20 STAFF REFERENCE TO THE CONVENTION CENTER.
03:55:26 I'M SORRY?
03:55:29 WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR, MR. DINGFELDER, SECOND, MR.
03:55:34 MIRANDA.
03:55:34 ALL IN FAVOR?
03:55:35 ANY OPPOSED?
03:55:36 MOTION CARRIES.
03:55:36 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
03:55:40 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY, IN REFERENCE TO THE CHIEF OF
03:55:43 STAFF, THE CONVENTION CENTER AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
03:55:46 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WAS A MEMO THAT WAS SENT PREVIOUSLY
03:55:48 BY THE CHIEF OF STAFF. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER HE'S STILL ON
03:55:50 THE LINE AND WANTS TO ADDRESS IT BUT I DID HAVE THE
03:55:52 OPPORTUNITY, WE DID TALK ABOUT IT, AND I PROVIDED IT TO YOU,
03:55:55 MR. CHAIRMAN.
03:55:57 COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY I BELIEVE IT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO COUNCIL
03:56:02 MEMBERS, BUT NOW, MR. CHAIRMAN, THE CHIEF OF STAFF WOULD
03:56:07 LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A
03:56:09 WALK-THROUGH WITH YOU AND TO DISCUSS THE OPTIONS THAT ARE
03:56:14 AVAILABLE AND PERHAPS BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL SO YOUR
03:56:16 OFFICE PERHAPS CAN SCHEDULE THAT.
03:56:18 I DON'T KNOW IF MR. BENNETT IS ON THE LINE AND WISHES TO ADD
03:56:21 ANYTHING ELSE.
03:56:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IS CHIEF STILL ON THE LINE?
03:56:24 IF NOT, MR. SHELBY WILL GET WITH SONYA, AND SONYA CAN SET UP
03:56:29 THE WALK-THROUGH.
03:56:30 THERE HE IS.
03:56:31 >>JOHN BENNETT: GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN.
03:56:35 CHIEF OF STAFF.
03:56:36 WHEN WE DID THE TRANSITIONAL WALK-THROUGH DATING BACK TO THE
03:56:39 SUPER BOWL PERIOD TO KIND OF THE RECENT TIME, IF YOU WILL,
03:56:46 BEFORE THE CHAIRMAN CHANGED ROLES, WE SAW SOME OPPORTUNITIES
03:56:52 IN CHAMBERS TO IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE, AND ALSO PROGRESS
03:56:56 WITH THE DECLINING OF THE PANDEMIC, BUT YET STILL KEEP
03:57:00 EVERYBODY SAFE, SOCIALLY DISTANCED, SANITIZED, ET CETERA.
03:57:05 SO I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD BENCHMARK WITH THE
03:57:08 CHANGE OF THE CHAIRS TO DO ANOTHER WALK-THROUGH BOTH FOR THE
03:57:11 CHAMBER SPACE AND THE OFFICE SPACE, AND MAKE SURE THAT
03:57:15 FACILITIES HAS ALL THE VISIONARY OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT
03:57:19 COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC IN THESE FORUMS AS WELL AS THE OTHER
03:57:23 BOARDS.
03:57:24 SO IF THE CHAIRMAN IS AMENABLE TO THAT I WILL WORK WITH THE
03:57:28 FACILITIES TEAM AND WE WILL ARRANGE THAT IN SHORT ORDER.
03:57:31 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
03:57:32 THAT WILL BE FINE.
03:57:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I COULD FOLLOW-UP FOR
03:57:37 CITY COUNCIL, FOR PURPOSES OF NEXT WEEK'S MEETING, OF
03:57:39 COURSE, THE NOTICES ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE POSTED.
03:57:42 YOU HAVE A CRA MEETING NEXT WEEK, AND YOU HAVE AN EVENING
03:57:45 MEETING, REZONINGS.
03:57:47 AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY VERY BRIEFLY TO SPEAK WITH MR.
03:57:51 MASSEY RELATIVE TO THE CRA.
03:57:53 BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ENCOURAGING
03:57:58 PEOPLE TO USE MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING, THE MEETINGS
03:58:02 UNTIL THERE'S DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL WILL BE CONTINUING
03:58:04 PRETTY MUCH IN THE PSALM FORMAT, BUT AS WE WORK WITH THE
03:58:07 CHAIR, AND THE CHAIR WORKS WITH THE ADMINISTRATION, THERE
03:58:10 WILL BE CHANGES, OBVIOUSLY, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, AND THOSE
03:58:13 WILL COME BACK TO COUNCIL, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES,
03:58:18 SO YOU HAVE GOT TO GO WITH THE TIMES AND MAKE SURE WE STILL
03:58:21 STAY SAFE.
03:58:22 OF COURSE AS YOU ALL KNOW, MOST OF THE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
03:58:26 HAVE BEEN VACCINATED, BUT WHEN DON'T KNOW WHO IS COMING INTO
03:58:29 THE HOUSE SO WE NEED TO STILL PROTECT THE HOUSE.
03:58:32 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO THE SECOND FLOOR WILL STILL BE UTILIZED
03:58:34 THE SAME AS THIS WEEK AND IN THE PAST AS WE MOVE FORWARD
03:58:37 NEXT WEEK.
03:58:38 THANK YOU, SIR.
03:58:39 >> MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
03:58:40 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY MR. MANISCALCO, SECONDED BY MR.
03:58:47 CITRO.

03:58:49 MOTION CARRIED.
