PLEASE COME ON UP.

09:07:14 >> GOOD MORNING.

I AM A RESIDENT OF NEWLY OPENED MADISON HIGHLANDS IN

TAMPA.

IT WAS OFFICIALLY OPENED IN DECEMBER --

09:07:26 >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME?

09:07:28 >> SORRY, MY NAME IS MARILYN BAILEY.

AND I AM A RESIDENT OF MADISON HIGHLANDS WHICH OPENED

IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

WE HAVE ONLY BEEN IN THIS COMPLEX NOW -- IT WILL BE

FOUR MONTHS -- CORRECTION, FIVE MONTHS THIS MONTH.

WE GOT A NOTICE THAT OUR RENT IS GOING UP.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A TWO-BEDROOM APARTMENT PAYING $932 A

MONTH.

AS OF JUNE 1, MY RENT WILL GO UP TO $1043.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A 55 AND PLUS SENIOR COMMUNITY.

AND I WANTING THE RENT TO GO UP THIS SOON.

WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN IN THE UNIT FOR ONE YEAR, AND NOW

EVERYBODY GOT TO RUSH AROUND TO FIND OUT HOW TO PAY

THAT INCREASE.

FOR ME, I AM LOOKING THAT I CAN PAY IT, BUT IT IS GOING

TO BE A STRETCH.

AND IT IS NOT FAIR TO US.

I BROUGHT NINE RESIDENTS WITH ME THIS MORNING IN

REFERENCE TO THIS.

AT 75 YEARS OLD, I DIDN'T HAVE TO EXPECT TO GO BACK TO

WORK, BUT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO IN ORDER TO PAY THAT

DIFFERENCE.

AND IT IS NOT FAIR TO US, AND IT IS NOT FAIR TO ANY OF THE

RESIDENTS THERE.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT CAN WE TO DO STOP THIS.

09:08:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MADAM CHAIR.

09:08:43 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.

09:08:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I DID SEND A MEMO TO CEDRIC MCCRAY,

THE MANAGER OF THE EAST TAMPA CRA.

HOPEFULLY WE WILL SHED SOME LIGHT ON WHAT IS HAPPENING.

I THINK IT IS A FEDERAL SITUATION THAT HAS OCCURRED.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF MISS TRAVIS CAN SPEAK TO THAT.

WE HAVE OUR SENIOR -- MR. MCCRAY AND MISS TRAVIS.

I MADE SURE I SENT THE MEMO TO MR. MCCRAY.

09:09:18 >> CEDRIC MCCRAY, CRA MANAGER.

I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM COUNCILMAN GUDES' OFFICE OF

INCREASED OF RENT.

A RESIDENT SENT ATTACHED ARTICLES.

AFTER CONVERSATIONS AND WITHIN MY AGENCY, WE FOUND OUT

THAT THE HUD HAS INCREASED THE SUBSIDY LEVEL FOR OUR

HOUSING.

AND BECAUSE THAT COMPLEX IS A SUBSIDIZED AREA.

AND WHEN THE HUD SUBSIDY CHANGED, IT WAS INCREASED,

THOSE RENTS WERE INCREASED AS WELL.

NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE CITY OR WITHIN

THE CRA.

BUT AT THIS TIME, WHAT I AM BEING TOLD IS IT IS ON THE

FEDERAL LEVEL.

09:10:03 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THE FEDERAL LEVEL --

[INAUDIBLE]

09:10:07 >> THEY INCREASED THE AMI.

09:10:10 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I THOUGHT THEY WERE REQUIRED TO GIVE

A NOTICE PRIOR TO -- KIND OF SHORT NOTICE.

I KNOW -- I HAVE BEEN OVER THERE AND SOME OF THEM ARE

ON A FIXED INCOME.

SO DO WE HAVE ANYTHING WITHIN THE CITY THAT WE MIGHT BE

ABLE TO HELP SOME OF THOSE RESIDENTS THROUGH EVERYTHING

THAT WE HAVE?

09:10:26 >> NOT THAT I AM AWARE OF.

WE CAN HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR HOUSING

DEPARTMENT TO RESEARCH AND SEE OR IF THERE IS SOMEONE

LOCAL WE CAN SPEAK WITH TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES OR

ANSWER ANY CONCERNS THAT THE RESIDENTS MAY HAVE.

09:10:39 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MISS TRAVIS.

09:10:41 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
GOOD MORNING.

NICOLE TRAVIS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAN LOOK INTO IS TO GET THE

NAMES OF THE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED OR HAVE

THEM CALL HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

REMEMBER THIS COUNCIL APPROVED THE RENT MOVE-IN

ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND WE WERE TAKING APPLICATIONS WITH

THAT.

IF THE RESIDENTS ARE INCOME QUALIFIED, WE CAN HELP THEM

WITH THE DIFFERENCE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CONTROL,

BUT THERE IS A PROGRAM THAT RECENTLY APPROVED THAT WE

CAN ALIGN THEM WITH OUR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO SEE IF WE CAN HELP THEM WITH THAT

GAP.

09:11:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I THINK WE HAVE A HOUSING PERSON FOR

THE EAST TAMPA WHO WAS HIRED.

I SUGGEST WE GET HER OVER THERE AND -- THEY ARE

SENIORS.

THEY DON'T KNOW A LOT TO KNOW.

IF WE CAN GET THAT PERSON OVER TO MADISON HEIGHTS TO

HEAR -- GET WITH THE MANAGER TO SEE WHO IS AFFECT AND

WHAT HAVE YOU AND THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR THE RESIDENTS.

09:11:41 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
WE CAN A RAINING TO VIRGINIA

NECESSARY IS A GET OUT THERE.

09:11:47 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

09:11:49 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I BELIEVE I AM NOT QUALIFIED -- NOT A FEDERAL OFFICIAL

TO KNOW ALL THE LAWS REGARDING FEDERAL SUBSIDIES OR HUD

OR TAMPA HOUSING.

BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TYPES

OF HOMES THAT THEY -- THEY QUALIFY FOR THIS.

SOME THAT THEY MANAGE, TAMPA HOUSING MANAGES THEMSELVES

AND SOME THAT ARE PRIVATE VENDOR MANAGERS AND THEY HAVE

-- TO MAKE THE PAYMENT.

I BELIEVE UNDER THOSE -- THE SECOND ONE THINK THAT JUST

SAID, USUALLY THERE IS A YEARLY CONTRACT.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THESE GOOD FOLKS HAVE A YEARLY

CONTRACT ON.THE SAME DAY OF THE SAME YEAR OR STAGGERED

THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT USUALLY IT IS IN NOVEMBER, THE EARLY PART OF

NOVEMBER, YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT TO THEM WHAT THE

QUALIFICATIONS AND WHAT THE RENT IS GOING TO BE AND

THEY EITHER APPROVE IT OR DENY IT.

09:12:38 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
CORRECT.

I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED IF THEY HAVE A CONTRACT AND

LEASE FOR A YEAR THAT IT IS INCREASING ON THEM.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS TO SEE IF WE CAN

BEST FACILITATE THAT AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION.

09:12:54 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MADAM CHAIR.

09:12:56 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

YES?

09:13:00 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THE

SITUATION AT THE NEXT CRA MEETING?

09:13:04 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
ABSOLUTELY.

09:13:05 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYONE ELSE?

NO, PLEASE --

09:13:14 >> MY MOM LIVES IN THAT SAME HIGH-RISE --

09:13:17 >>LYNN HURTAK:
GIVE US YOUR FULL NAME.

09:13:19 >> LATHESIA PATTON.

THE QUESTION IS BECAUSE I WAS RESEARCHING AND I SEEN --

SEEMED LIKE PROPERTY WITH THE SAME OWNERS INCREASES

FOUR TIMES WITHIN TWO YEARS.

SO A LOT OF RESIDENTS CAME AND SAID, WELL, IS IT GOING

TO BE ANY INCREASES?

WHAT IS GOING ON.

AND MANAGEMENT SAID NO.

SO THEIR ISSUE IS, THEY WANT CRYSTAL CLEAR WHAT IS

GOING ON.

WHEN THEY WERE SIGNING THE LEASE, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN

CRYSTAL CLEAR THIS IS POTENTIALLY WHAT WOULD OCCUR IN

THE MIDST OF THE LEASE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON.

AND THEY WEREN'T CLEAR.

SO BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ON FIXED INCOMES, THEY SHOULD

HAVE BEEN CRYSTAL CLEAR TO MAKE THAT DECISION WHETHER

TO MOVE THERE OR NOT TO MOVE THERE, YOU KNOW.

AND PEOPLE USE A LOT OF THEIR RESERVES TO MOVE AND NOW

THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING UNLESS THIEF 30-DAY NOTICE IF

YOU WANT TO LEAVE, BUT THAT IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE.

SO A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED AND

QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED ON, YOU KNOW, THE

WHYS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHY WEREN'T THESE QUESTIONS ADDRESSED?

WHY WEREN'T THEY CLEAR WITH THESE RESIDENTS BEFORE THEY

MOVED IN.

SO IT IS LIKE A LIST OF THEM THAT -- THE RESIDENTS HAVE

A LIST OF QUESTIONS.

SO -- AND THEN IF THEY DO THIS INCREASE NOW AND THEY DO

IT AGAIN IN ANOTHER FEW MONTHS, ARE YOU ALL ABLE TO

ASSIST WITH THE INCREASE AND SO ON.

SO THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT CONCERNS, YOU KNOW --

09:14:59 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE

LEASE AND THE QUESTIONS THAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE AND SEE

IF WE CAN -- I NEED -- I NEED MORE INFORMATION TO

UNDERSTAND AND BE ABLE TO HELP AND TALK TO THE PROPERTY

MANAGEMENT AND ALSO TO SEE WHAT WE CAN TO DO FILL THAT

GAP WITH HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

SO I ASKED CEDRIC JUST NOW TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL

GET HIS CARD SO WE CAN CONNECT YOU WITH OUR HOUSING

PERSON IN EAST TAMPA.

AND WE WILL WALK THROUGH IT WITH YOU.

09:15:30 >> AND THE HEADING ERRORS ON THE LEASE.

THE LEASE IS SO SMALL.

THESE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS.

YOU ARE READING THROUGH SO SMALL.

YOU HAVE VISUAL ISSUES AND SO ON.

AND THEN INTERPRETATION ISSUES, MEANING HOW ARE THEY

ABLE TO DEPICT THE CERTAIN LANGUAGES IN THIS LEASE.

AND THEN IF THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED, ARE THEY

COMPETENT TO BE ABLE TO BE SIGNING THIS LEASE AND

UNDERSTANDING ALL THESE FACTORS THAT ARE IN THE LEASE.

09:15:57 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
UNDERSTOOD.

09:16:00 >> PROTECTIONS ON THEM AND THEIR COMPREHENSION LEVELS

ALSO.

09:16:02 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

09:16:05 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
MAKE SURE WE GET YOUR INFORMATION.

09:16:05 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

09:16:12 >> GOOD MORNING, CONNIE BURTON.

SO THAT IS THE SHELL GAME WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN

MADISON MADE THEIR PRESENTATION TO THE EAST TAMPA

BOARD.

AND IT WAS LOW INCOME.

IT IS LOW INCOME FOR SOMEONE WHO IS -- HAS A HUGE SAY

-- SOCIAL SECURITY OR DISABILITY CHECK COMING FROM A

STATE THAT PAY WELL, BUT FOR RESIDENTS HERE, IT IS

EATING ALL OF THEIR INCOME.

THAT WAS THE FEAR AND NOW IT IS IN FRONT OF US.

SOME OF THE RESIDENTS SOME -- NOT SOME, BUT ONE, GOT R

3 MONEY AND PAID A FEW MONTHS AND THEN BACK TO HOW DO

THEY SURVIVE.

THE ISSUE THIS MORNING, TOO, IS AS WE ENTER INTO THE

SUMMER MONTHS, AND OUR COMMUNITY, WE ARE TALKING OF

INFLATION.

AND WE KNOW THAT -- AND LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, THE CHOICE

OF FOOD, RENT, NOW SUMMER CAMP.

HOW DO WE WORK AS A CITY AS WE TALK ABOUT THE

RESILIENCY OF HOW WONDERFUL TAMPA IS.

MAKE PROVISION FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES AND CHILDREN NOT

TO BE IDLED THIS SUMMER, BUT HAVE REAL RECREATIONAL

CAMPS INSIDE OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT GIVE THEM ACCESS TO

PROGRAMS THAT ATTRACTS THEM TO GOING.

LAST WEEK WHEN I WAS HERE, I TALKED ABOUT A WONDERFUL

PROGRAM THAT IS OUT IN NEW TAMPA.

TUMBLING, JUMPING, ALL OF THAT.

NONE OF THAT EXISTS INSIDE OF OUR COMMUNITY.

AND LASTLY, SILVER OAKS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY

WITH ALL KIND OF HORRIBLE THINGS HAPPENING TO THAT

COMMUNITY, WITH MANAGEMENT JUST MERELY THROWING PAINT.

SO, YES, IT IS FEDERAL.

YES, IT IS HOUSING.

MAYBE YOU NEED TO GET THE HOUSING AUTHORITY DOWN HERE

TO EXPLAIN SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A HUD DIVISION HERE TO

ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

AND THEY ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF MONETIZING AND

MONITORING THESE PROPERTIES.

HOW DO THEY ALLOW SUCH DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS TO EXIST

AND PEOPLE HAVE TO LIVE THERE AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY

DON'T HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO IT.

THEY NEED TO BE MADE TO COME TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES

AND HELP POINT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION INSTEAD OF ME

CALLING ALL OVER WASHINGTON D.C. TO TALK TO PEOPLE, WE

NEED TO KNOW POINT OF CONTACT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF

SOME OF THESE ISSUES.

09:18:37 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN GUDES.

09:18:41 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MADAM CHAIR, I WAS AT THE AHAB

MEETING FOR THE COUNTY AND THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.

COUNCIL SENT A LETTER.

BUT ONE OF THE LADIES WHO SITS ON -- I THINK SHE IS

DISTRICT PERSON FOR HUD -- I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME

RIGHT NOW.

09:18:55 >> MISS JACKSON.

09:18:57 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MISS JACKSON.

SHE TOLD ME WE SHOULD BE CONTACTING HUD.

NOT IN REFERENCE TO TAKING THE FUNDS AWAY, BUT HAVING

HUD COME HERE AND DO A REAL THOROUGH INSPECTION AND TO

BE ABLE TO GO AND LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER PARAMETERS.

HER SUGGESTION THAT IT WILL NOT BE INTERFERING WITH

OTHER DOLLARS OF THE CITY BUT LOOKING AT THAT

PARTICULAR PROPERTY, DEALING WITH THOSE ISSUES.

SO I BELIEVE THAT -- I THINK COMMISSIONER OVERMAN WAS

SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE FROM HUD

EITHER YESTERDAY OR TUESDAY WITH A PHONE CALL.

BUT SILVER OAKS WAS BROUGHT UP AT THE MEETING.

COMMISSIONER OVERMAN AND COMMISSIONER MYERS.

A THAT HAS BEEN A DISCUSSION.

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GET WITH MISS TRAVIS ABOUT

THAT CONVERSATION.

AND A CONVERSATION I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BY THE END OF

THE WEEK TO REFERENCE TO HAVE HUD HERE.

I SAW SOME OF THE PHOTOS, THE PIPES.

EVERYBODY KNOWS I GREW UP RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER ON

HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE SINCE I WAS IN THE SIXTH GRADE.

WE WALKED THROUGH THE BACK WAY.

I AM FAMILIAR HOW OLD THAT BUILDING IS.

BACK TO LIVING THERE NOW.

THAT BUILDING THERE IS VERY OLD.

SOME OF THE PROTOTYPES PROBABLY RUSTY LIKE THE CITY

PIPES.

AGAIN, I THINK MAYBE IT IS TIME TO THEY GO IN AND DO A

GOOD INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY.

AS IT RELATES TO YOUR SUMMER PROGRAMS, I DID RECEIVE AN

EMAIL FROM MR. BENNETT THAT HE SENT OUT TO OUR

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT OFFICER MISS MCKENZIE AND AN

EMAIL SENT AND I DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE WITH THE PARKS

AND RECREATION HAD SOME KIND OF EXTENSIVE PROGRAM.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

I DO WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT.

I AM SO ENCOURAGED TO GET THAT EAST TAMPA CENTER UP AND

RUNNING TO HAVE THE AMENITIES LIKE NEW TAMPA, OTHER

PLACES, SOUTH TAMPA THAT HAVE GYMNASTICS AND DANCE AND

VITAL FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

THEY ARE DANCING.

THEY ARE MAKING MUSIC.

THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF THINGS.

HAVING A FACILITY WILL IMPACT THEM TREMENDOUSLY TO DO

THE TYPE OF THINGS THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

I AM HOPING THAT A CONVERSATION -- AND I AM SURE MISS

MCKENZIE CAN GIVE US INFORMATION ON WHAT THEY ARE

TALKING ABOUT.

BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT, RIGHT NOW, I BELIEVE, BUSCH

GARDENS SPENT $1,000 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR KIDS TO

WORK AND PICK UP TRASH AND THESE OTHER THINGS.

I AM HOPING THAT A CONVERSATION WITH MR. MCCRAY AND TO

HAVE ANOTHER TYPE OF PROGRAM TO HELP OUR KIDS.

NOT BEING NICE OR NASTY.

PICKED UP TRASH.

WHEN I CAME HOME, MY DAD HAD ME WITH THE UNCLE.

THREW MUD.

THREW MUD FOR THE SUMMER.

WASN'T THE JOB -- AFTER THIRD MONTH, HE SAID HE GOT TO

GO.

THAT WASN'T FOR ME.

I UNDERSTAND THAT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE NEED OTHER AVENUES

TO EXPAND THEIR MIND BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM WANT

OPPORTUNITY AND THEY DON'T WANT TO PICK UP TRASH.

AND FIND ANOTHER WAY -- HOPEFULLY OUR CRA WILL FIND A

WAY AND A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN EAST TAMPA AND

HOPEFULLY TO FIND A WAY TO DO SOMETHING RATHER THAN

NOTHING.

09:22:04 >> THANK YOU.

09:22:06 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

09:22:08 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I ECHO WHAT COUNCILMAN GUDES SAID.

THIS ITEM THAT WE HAVE HERE HAVE MANY MOVING PARTS.

AND IT WILL TAKE SOME -- SOMEONE TO REALLY GET A HOLD

OF ALL THE PARTS AND STOP THE WHEELS IN MOTION SO WE

CAN FIND OUT EXACTLY WHICH IS THE WHEEL THAT IS STILL

MOVING WHILE THE REST ARE STANDING STILL.

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, ONE OF THESE WHEELS IS MOVING

AND THE OTHER IS STANDING STILL SAYING I HAVE TO DO

THIS.

THAT IS WHAT IT IS CALLED FOR.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CONTRACT SAYS.

THAT WILL BE RESOLVED.

WE WILL GET MORE INFORMATION TODAY.

AND I AM SURE MISS TRAVIS AND HER DEPARTMENT WILL FIND

OUT EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IT IS IN DAYS.

09:22:50 >> BERITA ANDRE.

I AM A RESIDENT AT MADISON HIGHLAND.

TWO OF US.

ME AND MY HUSBAND.

MY HUSBAND CAN'T WORK.

THE DOCTOR TOOK HIM YOU HAVE A OF JOB.

I CAN'T WORK.

THEY STOPPED ME FROM WORKING.

IT'S HARD FOR US RIGHT NOW.

THAT MEANS THEY DONE ADDED A WATER BILL -- THEY TOLD US

THAT WHEN WE MOVED IN WE WEREN'T GOING TO HAVE A WATER

BILL.

AND NOW WE HAVE A WATER BILL AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS

FAIR TO US.

09:23:17 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IF YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION TO

MISS TRAVIS AND YOUR QUESTIONS.

09:23:22 >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

09:23:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MADAM CHAIR.

09:23:26 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.

09:23:29 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
YOU MAY NOT KNOW.

YOU ARE JUST GETTING HERE.

DOES THAT GET CDBG FUNDS?

09:23:35 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
I AM NOT SURE.

I WILL HAVE TO GO CHECK.

I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS GETTING CDBG FUNDS.

09:23:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT OUR PART OF

THE CONTRACT IS ON THAT.

09:23:49 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, THANK YOU.

09:23:52 >> GOOD MORNING, MENTESNOT, TAMPA, FLORIDA.

YOU CAN'T STOP CAPITALISM.

YOU CAN'T STOP RENT INCREASES.

YOU CAN'T STOP A HOTEL ON HARBOUR ISLAND.

YOU CAN'T STOP HIGH GAS PRICES.

YOU CAN'T STOP HIGH FOOD PRICES.

YOU CAN'T STOP GENTRIFICATION.

YOU CAN'T STOP ANY OF THESE THINGS.

FOR US AFRICAN PEOPLE, IT HAS BEEN AN EXPERIENCE FOR

622 YEARS.

IT IS CAPITALISM.

IMPERIALISM.

COLONIALISM.

NEOCOLONIALISM.

YOU CAN'T STOP IT.

THE POOR WORKING-CLASS PEOPLE HAVE TO BE ORGANIZED

BETTER.

WE CAN'T KEEP COMING WEEK AFTER WEEK AND YOU ACT LIKE

WE DON'T KNOW THE PROBLEM.

IT IS ALL OVER.

I SEE MORE HOMELESS PEOPLE LIVING RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS THEN

I DO INSIDE THE REAL COMMUNITIES UNTIL YOU PUSHED THEM

OVER INTO NEBRASKA AVENUE AND TRINITY.

SO THAT'S FACT.

BUT RIGHT NOW I WANT TO TALK OF INAPPROPRIATE

RELATIONSHIPS.

622 YEARS, WHITE PEOPLE HAVE INTENTIONALLY FORMED

INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH SELECTED AFRICAN

PEOPLE.

FORMED INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH SELECTED

AFRICAN GROUPS AND SELECTIVE AFRICAN COUNTRIES.

COLONIALISM, IMPERIALISM, CAPITALISM HAS AN

INAPPROPRIATE WAY OF FORMING RELATIONSHIPS WITH

BITIOUS MINORITY INDIVIDUALS TO EXTRACT THE WEALTH,

RESOURCES AND LANDS WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE INDIGENOUS

POPULATION AND THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL

ADVANTAGE OF WHITE PEOPLE AND WHITE PEOPLE ONLY.

YESTERDAY, THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF TAMPA SPOKE QUITE

ELOQUENTLY OF THE AMBITIONS OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.

THE MAYOR SPOKE OF THE VISION.

THE VISION INCLUDED A STATEMENT ABOUT HOUSING.

BUT THE REALITY IS, THE HOUSING IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR

WHITE PEOPLE.

THE WHITE PEOPLE HAVE 1,000 TRICKS UP THEIR SLEEVES.

THE MAYOR AND ALL MAYORS IN EVERY CITY OVER 300,000

POPULATION NATIONWIDE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AGGRESSIVE

RADICAL PROGRAMS TO DEPOPULATE ALL URBAN AREAS OF THEIR

BLACK POPULATION.

THOSE PROGRAMS ARE GOING ON ALL OVER THE WORLD.

NOT ONLY HERE IN TAMPA, FLORIDA.

MIAMI, FLORIDA.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

HOW CAN THE MAYOR JANE CASTOR DEPOPULATE THE AFRICAN

POPULATION.

THE MAIN METHOD IS FORMING INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIPS

WITH AFRICANS.

AND COMMUNITY LEADER, COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS, UNCLE TOM

SELLOUT, AUNT JEMIMA SELLOUT, BOOT LICKERS, PUPPETS AND

A HOST OF OTHER NAMES THAT DENOTE SERVICE AND

PATRIOTISM OF WHITE POWER AT THE DETRIMENT AND EXPENSE

OF THE BLACK MASTERS.

IT MUST BE KNOWN THAT THIS CITY, PREVIOUS MAYORS AND

CITY COUNCIL HAVE FORMED A RELATIONSHIP WITH MICHELLE

PATTY AND MICHELLE PATTY AND WPMT AN DETRIMENT AND THAT

RELATIONSHIP NEEDS TO BE RE-EXAMINED.

09:27:01 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

SIR.

09:27:07 >> GOOD MORNING.

I ALSO LIVE AT MADISON.

09:27:13 >>LYNN HURTAK:
SPEAK UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.

09:27:15 >> SANDOR OCHOA.

I LIVE IN MADISON AS WELL.

YOU SHOULD KNOW WE DIDN'T GET COPIES OF OUR LEASE JUST

RECENTLY BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY WERE DOING A AUDIT AND

MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE IT.

I ALSO HAVE A -- A PROBLEM IN MY APARTMENT WITH VAPORS

AND SMELLS AND STUFF.

I HAD A PILOT COMPANY COME IN AND DO AN AIR QUALITY

TEST BACK IN DECEMBER OF WHICH THEY -- THEY FOUND --

THEY FOUND THINGS -- I CAN PROVIDE THE COURT WITH

DOCUMENTS.

BUT BECAUSE IT WAS NEW CONSTRUCTION, THEY SAID -- THEY

COULD SAY THAT THIS IS BECAUSE OF NEW CONSTRUCTION.

BUT NOT TO THE LEVELS IN MY APARTMENT IT IS.

THEN I GET ANOTHER ONE IN MARCH.

I HAD IT AGAIN BECAUSE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS TO THE

POINT THAT I CAN TASTE.

I CAN TASTE IT.

I CAN FEEL IT ON MY SKIN.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STOOD OUT WAS MOTHBALL CRYSTALS,

HIGH LEVEL OF IT.

AGAIN, I CAN ALSO PROVIDE REPORTS AND MY -- MANY OF THE

TENANTS CAN -- I HAVE TO LEAVE MY DOOR OPEN IN THE

HALLWAY BECAUSE THE SMELL IS THAT BAD.

BUT THEY -- THEY SAID THAT -- THEY HAVE GONE TWICE AND

SAY THEY DON'T SMELL ANYTHING.

AND THE ONLY CHOICE I WAS GIVEN IS, DO YOU WANT TO

MOVE.

I DON'T WANT TO MOVE.

SO -- SO I -- ANYHOW, IT IS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I HAD

A HEADACHE FOR THREE MONTHS.

I AM SICK.

I HAVE -- I HAVE MEDICAL ISSUES.

I HAD THREE HEART ATTACKS.

I HAVE EMPHYSEMA AND I AM HIV POSITIVE.

I AM SICK.

MY DOG IS GETTING SICK.

AND NO ONE IS LISTENING TO US.

THAT'S IT.

DO YOU NEED THIS?

09:28:55 >>LYNN HURTAK:
SORRY, COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

09:28:57 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
SIR.

09:28:57 >> I AM SORRY.

09:29:00 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK A COUPLE OF

QUESTIONS.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND.

YOU HAD A PRIVATE COMPANY COME IN AND DO A TEST IN YOUR

HOUSE.

09:29:06 >> CORRECT.

09:29:08 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THEY DID A TEST WITH A METER IN

EVERY ROOM AND-TO-FIND OUT WHAT IT IS THAT THEY FOUND.

09:29:13 >> I CAN SHOW YOU.

THEY PUT A METER IN THE ROOM FOR TWO HOURS.

I AM -- I AM ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION.

THEY PUT THE METER FOR TWO HOURS.

AND THEY DID IT IN THE RAIN ROOM -- A SMALL APARTMENT.

THEY DID IT IN THE BEDROOM WHERE I SAID I WAS SMELLING

IT THE MOST.

AND THE FIRST TIME THEY -- YEAH, THEY FOUND HIGH LEVELS

-- I DON'T REMEMBER -- WHAT THEY FOUND, BUT IT WAS THE

THINGS THAT HE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT, THE SMELLS OF

THE PAINTS -- BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW BUILDING, THEY SAID

THIS IS NORMAL.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS.

AND THAT -- IT COULD LINGER ON FOR MONTHS.

BUT NOT TO THE LEVEL I AM GETTING IN MY APARTMENT.

AND I AM THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING IN MY APARTMENT.

I DON'T KNOW IF OTHERS ARE.

09:29:59 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WANT TO GET BACK TO THE CAPSULES

THAT THEY TAKE AN AIR SAMPLE IN EACH ROOM AND SEND IT

OUT TO THE LABORATORY.

DO YOU HAVE A REPORT?

09:30:09 >> YES.

09:30:11 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
IF YOU TURN THAT IN.

09:30:12 >> YES.

IS THAT IT?

09:30:17 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

09:30:19 >> HI, MARGARET PETT.

I AM ALSO A RESIDENT OF MADISON HIGHLAND.

I WAS LIVING IN A HOTEL FOR THREE MONTHS AND I GOT THE

-- I GOT GRACE POINT TO TELL ME ABOUT THE BUILDING.

THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY.

I SAID THAT'S GREAT.

BECAUSE MY SIGHT AND COMPUTER SKILLS TRYING TO GET IN

FLORIDA SINCE JUNE LAST YEAR.

I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT.

I WENT OVER.

I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T SEE WELL.

THEY WENT OVER THE LEASE.

THEY SAID YOU HAVE TO BE IN YOUR APARTMENT BY THE 27TH

OR 28TH.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR ELECTRICITY TURNED ON BECAUSE IF

NOT, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT.

WE NEED FULL OCCUPANCY BY JANUARY 1.

SO THEY WENT THROUGH THE LEASE WITH ME.

THIS IS WHAT THIS SAYS.

THIS IS WHAT THIS SAYS.

THIS IS WHAT THIS SAYS.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING?

OH, MY GOD.

AND I -- I FINAGLED, SEE WHAT I COULD DO.

I SPENT ALL MY MONEY IN THAT HOTEL.

BARELY HAD ANY MONEY LEFT.

GRACE POINT WAS GOING TO HELP ME, AND THEN I GUESS THEY

DIDN'T RECEIVE SOME OF THE FUNDS.

I STARTED GETTING -- I GOT AN EVICTION NOTICE.

THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH IT BECAUSE I WAS ABLE

TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE FROM

GRACE POINT.

AND -- WHILE I WAS IN THE OFFICE AND I KNOW THIS IS

HEARSAY.

I KNOW THIS ISN'T A COURT, THEY SAID WE HAVE TO BE

DONE.

WE HAVE TO HAVE FULL OCCUPANCY BY JANUARY 1 AND

SOMEBODY CAME IN AND GOES, WELL, THINK OF -- THIS KIND

OF HOUSE.

OH, THAT PAPERWORK IS TOO LONG.

GET BE ELSE.

I AM LIKE, WOW.

AND, YOU KNOW, THAT DOESN'T PERTAIN TO ME.

WHAT DOES PERTAIN TO ME IS THAT SINCE I HAVE BEEN

THERE, MY CAR WAS BROKEN INTO.

MY APARTMENT, IT WAS $150 MISSING OUT OF THERE.

I CANNOT PROVE THAT, WHO STOLE THE MONEY.

I AM JUST SAYING THAT I WANT TO JUST A SAFE, SECURE

PLACE TO LIVE SO I CAN LIVE OUT THE REST OF MY LIFE.

YOU CAN'T PLAN -- IF WHAT YOU THINK YOU HAVE FOR A YEAR

IS CHANGED AFTER FOUR MONTHS.

I COULD BARELY PAY MY RENT AS IT WAS.

I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ARE OUR FLORIDA.

I DON'T THINK THE BUILDING PASSED INSPECTION YET.

BECAUSE THE OCCUPANCY ON THE DOOR IS THE OCCUPANCY FOR

SIX MONTHS.

THE HALLWAYS HAVE BEEN FLOODED.

THREE OR FOUR TIMES.

I GOT CAUGHT IN THE ELEVATOR.

I AM FINE.

SO MOLD UNDERNEATH IT AND THE BUILDING IS BRAND NEW.

I AM JUST SAYING THINK THAT KNOW I NEVER, EVER, EVEN

WHEN I HAD MONEY AND WASN'T SO DESPERATE, SIGN A LEASE

THAT SOMEBODY CAME BACK FOUR MONTHS LATER AND TOLD ME I

HAD TO COME UP WITH MORE MONEY.

WHEN IT IS HARD ENOUGH FOR ME TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY

I HAVE.

SORRY.

09:33:37 >>LYNN HURTAK:
I UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT.

09:33:46 >> HI.

MY NAME IS ARLENE WASHINGTON.

AND I LIVE AT MADISON HEIGHTS.

AND WHAT I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS NOT SO MUCH THE

RENT, ALTHOUGH MINE IS GOING TO GO UP, BUT I AM SECTION

8.

SO THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN ME A NOTICE YET.

BUT WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IS THE SAFETY OF THE

BUILDING.

THERE IS NOBODY THERE AT NIGHT.

THERE IS NOBODY THERE ON THE WEEKENDS.

IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM, WE CAN'T CALL ANYBODY BECAUSE THE

MAILBOX IS FULL.

THE ELEVATOR SOMETIMES ACTS OUT.

SOMETIMES THE GARBAGE DOESN'T GET DONE RIGHT.

PLUS, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING THAT

WE DON'T KNOW.

THEY RATTLED THE DOORS TO SEE IF THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED,

TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET IN.

CARS HAVE BEEN BROKEN INTO.

SOME HAVE BEEN STOLEN.

WE NEED SAFETY THERE.

WE ARE SENIORS.

AND IT IS LIKE THEY DON'T CARE.

THEY GOT US IN THE BUILDING, AND NOW WE ARE ON OUR OWN.

AND WE NEED HELP.

AND IT IS A SHAME THAT WE ARE ALL ON FIXED INCOMES.

THEY RAISE YOUR RENT.

THEY TELL YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

THEY LOCK THE DOORS AT 9:00 AT NIGHT.

IF WE COULDN'T SLEEP AND WANTED TO GO TO -- INTO THE

GYM, CAN HE CAN'T DO IT.

9:00, EVERYTHING IS LOCKED UP.

AND THEY DON'T OPEN AGAIN UNTIL 9:00 IN THE MORNING.

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T SLEEP.

WE ARE SENIORS.

WE CAN'T SLEEP ALL THE NIGHT THROUGH.

SOMETIMES WE WANT TO GO DOWN TO THE GYM AND DO A

WORKOUT.

SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT.

THEY TREAT YOU LIKE LITTLE KIDS, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T DO

ANYTHING.

AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

YOU ARE GOING TO RAISE MY RENT, BUT STILL TREAT ME LIKE

I AM SOME CHILD.

IT IS NOT SAFE.

AND WE DO NEED SOMEBODY THERE IN THE OFFICE ON THE

WEEKENDS IN CASES THERE A PROBLEM.

YOU KNOW YOU F USS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE, WE NEED HELP

WITH THE OTHER STUFF AND I AM NOT GOING TO HOLD YOU UP

ANY LONGER BECAUSE SOME OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO TALK.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING BUT PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT

IT.

WE ARE KIND OF TIRED NOW.

I AM 77 AND I AM REAL TIRED.

OKAY.

REAL TIRED.

09:35:49 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COMMISSIONER.

09:35:54 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MR. MCCRAY.

YOU CAN GET MCGREGOR, CALVIN JOHNSON, LES RICHARDSON.

I HEARD OF ISSUES THERE BEFORE.

DIDN'T HAVE AN AREA FOR FOLKS TO SMOKE AND THINGS LIKE

THAT.

GET JANELLE, LES OR GET THEM OVER THERE TO HAVE A

MEETING WITH THE RESIDENTS AND THE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES

TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO.

IT IS A SENIOR DEVELOPMENT.

TO MAKE SURE THE SENIORS ARE COMFORTABLE AND CAN HAVE

ACTIVITIES OVER THERE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

09:36:28 >> GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS KEELA MCCASKILL, AND I'M HERE REGARDING THE

EAST TAMPA CAC.

BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF YEARS IT HAS BEEN DORMANT,

PROGRESS HAS NOT BEEN MOVING FORWARD.

WE GOT RID OF ONE OF THE LAYERS OF THE BRICK WALL OF

DELAY.

AND I AM ASKING TODAY THAT WE TRY TO WORK ON THE NEXT

ONE.

I WANTED TO FIND OUT HOW THE CAC OR CRA CAN REPORT

DIRECTLY TO CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE SOME SORT OF BALANCE

AS FAR AS WHAT IS TO TAKE PLACE.

WE WON'T GET ANY PROGRESS IF THEY ARE NOT REPORTING

DIRECTLY TO THIS BOARD -- THOR BODY.

IN ADDITION, COUNCILMAN GUDES, IN JULY 2, 2022,

REQUESTED INFORMATION REGARDING A NONOWNER-OCCUPIED

REHAB WHICH IS SORT OF LIKE A RENTAL REHAB PROGRAM.

I SEE IT ON THE AGENDA TODAY BUT FROM WEST.

THIS REQUEST WAS MADE -- AND I HAVE THE VIDEO AND I

WILL SEND IT TO YOU.

A NONOWNER-OCCUPIED PROGRAM.

WE ARE ALREADY IN A SHORTAGE -- HAD THEY DONE THAT, HAD

OUR DIRECTOR DONE THAT, WE WOULD HAVE MANY UNIT

AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE BLIGHTED AND VACANT NOW

WHICH IS THE SO LE PURPOSE OF THE CRA TO ELIMINATE SLUM

AND BLIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE REQUEST IS.

I SEE IT FOR WEST TAMPA.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY STARTED WORKING ON IT, BUT THE

REQUEST FOR THE ORIGINAL NONOWNER-OCCUPIED REHAB WAS

REQUESTED JULY 2, 2021 FROM -- FROM RIGHT HERE IN THIS

BODY AND SEEING FROM WEST TAMPA.

AND THERE IS NO CONVERSATION ABOUT IT IN EAST TAMPA.

WHICH IS THE REASON, AGAIN, SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE

ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ACTIVITIES AND REQUESTS FOR EAST

TAMPA, BECAUSE THERE IS A DISPARITY IN WHAT HAPPENS.

WE ARE NOT SEEING SOME OF THE PROJECTS.

AND YOU HEARD IT AND I WON'T BEAT A DEAD HORSE AND I AM

ASKING FOR THAT.

I AM ASKING FOR THAT POSITION.

AND INITIALLY, WE WERE FORCED TO ACCEPT A PART-TIME --

SUBPAR.

WE DON'T GET THE FULL SERVICES OF A DIRECTOR.

AND WE HAVE TO ACCEPT INTERIM AND WE WANT TO POSTED IN

AN EXPEDITED MANNER.

IF WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY NOW, WE WILL HAVE BE FORCED TO

ACCEPT FOR THE INTERIM DIRECTOR PART-TIME.

NO PUN INTENDED, BUT WE NEED FULL TIME.

MICHELLE VAN HORN WAS OVERWHELMED THE TWO YEARS.

THE WHOLE TWO YEARS, SHE WAS OVERWHELMED.

SHE HAD THE VIDEOS.

NOTHING TOOK PLACE.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE A NEW EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY HIRED

FOR A CERTAIN POSITION BE PART-TIME AND WILL BE SUBPAR

AND POTENTIALLY BECOME OVERWHELMED.

WE CAN'T AFFORD ANY MORE DELAYS IN EAST.

09:39:13 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MADAM CHAIR.

09:39:13 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.

09:39:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THAT REQUEST WAS MADE.

YOU KNOW, DURING THAT TIME, THERE WAS A LOT OF

TRANSITION GOING ON.

I BELIEVE WE DIDN'T HAVE AN EAST TAMPA PERSON.

SO A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

WHICH IS STILL NO EXCUSE, BUT A LOT OF MOVING PARTS

DURING THAT TIME.

I DID SEE THE VIDEO.

AND I DID SEND THE INFORMATION TO MISS TRAVIS AND MR.

MCCRAY IN HOPES TO GET A RESPONSE BACK BECAUSE SOME OF

THE PROBLEMS THAT WEST TAMPA, EAST TAMPA NEEDS PROGRAMS

AS WELL.

THEY ARE VIABLE AND HOUSING.

WE HAVE THE MONEY -- WE MAY NOT HAVE THE STUFF BUT WE

NEED TO GET THE STAFF.

AS IT RELATES TO THE HOUSING.

A MOTION MADE COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO -- LAST MONTH IN

REFERENCE TO THE CRA AND I GOT HERE LATE.

MY FAULT THAT I DIDN'T FULLY UNDERSTAND.

I KNOW MISS TRAVIS IS VERY, VERY EXPERIENCED IN HER

EXPERTISE, BUT I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, SHE HAS A

BIG CITY TO RUN.

WE GOT EIGHT CRAS.

I AM JUST BEING TRUTHFUL.

EIGHT CRAS AND BIG CITY TO RUN.

I KNOW SHE CAN DO THE JOB BUT SHE WILL NEED HELP DOING

THAT JOB, RUNNING A CITY AND RUNNING CRAS.

AND I AM HOPING IN THE NEAR FUTURE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE

TO BRING THAT BACK TO THE TABLE.

AND EVEN THOUGH SHE IS THE INTERN, START -- INTERIM,

START LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY TO REPLACE HER BECAUSE THAT

WILL BE KEY DOWN THE ROAD.

I JUST THINK SIX MONTHS.

AND, AGAIN, WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS GOING.

YOU HAVE EIGHT CRAS THAT ARE MOVING NOW.

THINGS ARE HAPPENING.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T LOSE TRACK THAT SO PEOPLE

GET THE SERVICES THEY NEED.

I KNOW MISS TRAVIS IS QUALIFIED, BUT I DON'T WANT HER

TO GET BURNT OUT EITHER.

A CITY WITH ISSUES AND EIGHT CRAS.

THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.

09:41:14 >> MY NAME IS MALIK MAABDELA.

THERE ARE MANY ISSUES THAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN OUR

CITY, AS WELL AS AROUND THE WORLD.

AND YOU ARE THE CITY COUNCIL.

YOU ARE ELECTED TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE.

AND YOU HEAR THE COMPLAINT OF THE PEOPLE.

THE QUESTION IS, HOW EFFECTIVE ARE YOU ALL ADDRESSING

THE ISSUES OF THE PEOPLE?

AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A GAP HERE, A VOID HERE BETWEEN

YOUR REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE.

WHAT WE WANT TO DO AS PEOPLE IS TO GET OUR

REPRESENTATIVES TO HELP US WITH OUR PROBLEMS.

NOW WE ELECT YOU GUYS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR ISSUES

AND THE -- WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THEM.

HOWEVER, WHAT I SEE TODAY, NOT JUST TODAY, BUT IN THIS

TIME PERIOD, A LACK OF HELPING THE PEOPLE WITH THE

ISSUES, SO THE QUESTION BEGS TO BE ASKED.

WHAT DO WE NEED YOU FOR IF YOU DON'T HELP US TO RESOLVE

THESE ISSUES.

AND, YES, YOU GUYS GET A LOT OF ISSUES THROWN AT YOU.

HOPEFULLY THESE ISSUES CAN BE RESOLVE OF THE WITH

PROPER APPLICATION.

AND THE HOUSING -- THE HIGH RENT THAT IS GOING ON IN

OUR COMMUNITY IS AFFECTING POOR PEOPLE AND BLACK PEOPLE

PARTICULARLY.

SO -- AND I BELIEVE FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, THE

WHITE ESTABLISHMENT ENJOY THIS -- THESE INEQUITIES.

SO IF YOU ARE REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE, THEN YOU ARE

RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW THESE PEOPLE, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE,

PEOPLE OF COLOR, THESE PEOPLE OF LOW INCOME ARE

PROTECTED BY YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AND WE ASK YOU TO LEAD US IN YOUR DIRECTION TO DO THE

RIGHT THING FOR US.

SO MY QUESTION IS RIGHT AT THIS POINT WHO IS THE

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD HERE.

09:44:01 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT WOULD BE ME.

09:44:02 >> OKAY.

DO YOU HAVE MANY --

09:44:05 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT WILL BE ME.

09:44:08 >> OKAY, DO YOU HAVE MANY PROBLEMS HELPING THE PEOPLE.

ARE WE ADDRESSING OR GETTING SOLUTIONS FROM YOU ALL TO

HELP THE PEOPLE IF YOU WERE NOT -- SINCE YOU ARE NOT

DOING IT, YOU ARE GETTING A LOT OF PROBLEM, A LOT OF

QUESTIONS.

A LOT OF ASKING FOR HELP FROM THE PEOPLE.

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOU ALL TELL US HOW YOU ARE GOING

TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS AND WE TELL YOU ALL WHAT WE

NEED AND YOU LISTEN.

09:44:27 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

09:44:36 >> GOOD MORNING, BOARD.

MY NAME IS ROBIN LOCKET.

I AM WITH FLORIDA RISING.

SOME OF THOSE ELDERLY ARE MEMBERS.

THEY LEFT RIVER PINES AND RAN AWAY FROM RIVER PINES

BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION OF THAT PROPERTY, EXCITED OF

COMING TO A NEW PROPERTY, BRAND-SPANKING NEW.

AND THEY ARE DEALING WITH ALL OF THIS.

ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT WE SHOULD PROTECT OUR

CHILDREN AND OUR SENIORS.

CONNIE WAS UP HERE EARLIER ABOUT THE THINGS FOR THE

KIDS DURING THE SUMMER AND BEING CREATIVE ABOUT THAT.

THE SENIORS ARE UP HERE NOW, YOU KNOW, JUST

COMPLAINING.

MY CONCERN WITH THIS AS MY MIND STARTS TO WANDER, WITH

THIS MANAGEMENT COMPANY OR THE OWNER -- HE OWNS OTHER

SENIOR LOCATIONS.

PRAYING ON SENIORS, BECAUSE EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM HAS

A VALID LEASE, MEANING IT IS NOT UP, AND THEY GET A

RENT INCREASE WITHIN FOUR MONTHS OF THEM MOVING IN.

PREYING ON SENIORS.

JUST SO HAPPENED THESE SENIORS HAD ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL

TO ASK QUESTIONS, WHY?

AND LOOK FOR ANSWERS.

IMAGINE THE FOUR UNITS HE HAS -- I HEAR HE HAS FOUR OF

THE APARTMENTS.

JUST MARGE HOW MANY SENIORS WILL BE AFRAID NOT TO BE

KICKED OUT AND PAY -- GET A SECOND JOB, YOU KNOW.

WHEN SHE -- WHEN RITA TOLD ME -- I THINK IT WAS RITA --

TOLD ME THAT SHE AND HER HUSBAND COULDN'T AFFORD -- I

SAID BOTH OF YOU GUYS ARE IN THE HOUSE TOGETHER.

COULDN'T AFFORD IT.

WHEN MARILYN TOLD ME SHE IS 75 YEARS OLD.

AND SHE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO AND LOOK FOR A JOB.

I AM 57.

SO I AM CLOSE TO BEING A SENIOR.

I AM VERY CLOSE.

BUT I WOULD WANT TO BE TREAT ME WITH DECENT -- DECENCY

AND RESPECT, RIGHT.

AGAIN, CAN YOU GUYS RESOLVE THE -- THIS RENT

SITUATION?

NOT REALLY, BECAUSE IT IS BASED ON THE MARKET.

I HAVE ENOUGH SENSE TO KNOW THAT.

BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO IS PUT THINGS IN PLACE TO PROTECT.

TO PROTECT THE SENIORS, TO PROTECT KIDS FROM BEING

HOMELESS, TO PROTECT PEOPLE.

RENT STABILIZATION IS A PART OF IT.

A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.

A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE.

BUT THERE ARE ALSO OTHER PIECES THAT CAN EQUAL UP TO

PROTECTING PEOPLE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

09:47:24 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK?

OKAY.

FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

OH, DO WE HAVE ANY ONLINE REGISTERED SPEAKERS.

09:47:43 >>CLERK:
WE HAD MICHAEL RANDOLPH AND HE IS NOT LOGGED

ON.

09:47:50 >>LYNN HURTAK:
OH, OKAY.

SO WE BEGIN WITH STAFF REPORTS.

09:47:57 >> YES, GOOD MORNING, AGAIN.

THIS MORNING, WE HAVE MR. FRED HENRY FROM THE TAMPA

HEIGHTS RIVERFRONT CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO GIVE YOU

AN UPDATE ON THE CAC AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

AND SO I WILL TURN IT OVER TO HIM TO MAKE THAT

PRESENTATION.

09:48:17 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

09:48:20 >>FRED HENRY:
GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I BELIEVE THERE IS A PRESENTATION HERE THAT I AM GOING

TO REFERENCE FOR YOU ALL.

09:48:37 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
MADAM CHAIR, JUST FOR THE RECORD,

CRA BOARD -- NOT THE COUNCIL.

09:48:43 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RECORD

IS CLEAR.

09:48:47 >> FORCE OF HABIT, SORRY.

09:48:49 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I UNDERSTAND.

09:48:50 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
CAN YOU SEE IT?

HERE IT IS.

09:49:15 >>FRED HENRY:
OKAY.

GOOD MORNING.

I JUST -- A QUICK UPDATE WITH THE RIVERFRONT CRA.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PROJECT WE ARE WORKING ON.

PROPOSED PALM AVENUE ROUNDABOUT.

PICTURE THAT YOU SEE THERE.

DOING CULTURAL ARTWORK, LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING.

WE ARE ALSO IN THE WORKS WITH A JOINT CRA SIGNAGE AND

PLANNING PROPOSAL WITH THAT TO CONNECT THE CITY A

LITTLE BIT BETTER IN THE AREA.

WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT DOING SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE

SHORELINE NEAR NORTH BOULEVARD BRIDGE.

THAT IS BECOMING MORE CONNECTED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD

THERE.

AND ALSO, A POTENTIAL JOINT VENTURE WITH WEST TAMPA CRA

FOR THE UNDER SIDE THE NORTH BOULEVARD BRIDGE AND

BRINGS IT TOGETHER WITH ANOTHER BRIDGE WE HAVE IN THE

CITY OF TAMPA WITH LED UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM OF IT.

AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW.

09:50:07 >>LYNN HURTAK:
EXCELLENT.

ANY QUESTIONS?

COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

09:50:12 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
ON A VERY SMALL NOTE, ON THE SOUTH

ICE PORTION OF THE ROUNDABOUT, HAVE SOMEONE CHECK --

MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE SOMEONE TO CHECK IT.

BECAUSE THINGS THAT ARE UP AND LIKELY TO HIT IT AND GO

SOMEWHERE ELSE WITH IT.

09:50:27 >>FRED HENRY:
THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.

09:50:36 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU AS WELL.

09:50:37 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
THANK YOU.

NEXT WE ARE GOING TO DO OUR COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT

AGENCY STAFF REPORT.

AND WE ARE GOING TO START WITH JEFFREY BURTON WHO IS

THE CRA MANAGER FOR THE URBAN CORE.

AND ALSO JUST TO GIVE HIM HIS KUDOS, JEFFREY RECEIVED

HIS DOCTORATE AND WILL GIVE YOU THE LONG TITLE.

JEFFREY.

09:50:59 >>LYNN HURTAK:
CONGRATULATIONS.

09:51:00 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

09:51:03 >>LYNN HURTAK:
WHAT IS THE LONG TITLE.

09:51:05 >> UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA AND SUSTAINABLE

REDEVELOPMENT.

I AM NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE LONG DRAWN-OUT VERSION.

DO YOU WANT THE 287-PAGE DISSERTATION, I WILL BE HAPPY

TO GIVE IT TO YOU.

09:51:20 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I CAN'T READ FOR THAT LONG.

09:51:22 >> ALL RIGHT, SO WE ARE GOING TO START WITH THE URBAN

CORE CRAS.

AND YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A DIGITAL LIBRARY

NETWORKING FOR EACH OF THE CRAS.

THIS WORKS WITH ONE NOTE WHICH IS A FREE MICROSOFT APP.

WHAT IT DOES IS, GIVES YOU FLORIDA STATUTE 163.

GIVES YOU THE CRA PLANS FOR EACH OF THE CRAS.

IT GIVES YOU THE NAME OF THE CAC MEMBERS, CRA STAFF AND

THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION.

IT PROVIDES ALL THE POLICIES THAT YOU HAVE APPROVED FOR

THE CACS, ALL OF THEIR POLICIES, AND ALSO INCLUDES

PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON.

IT BASICALLY PROVIDES FOR THE CRA BOARD, THE CAC, CAN

CRA STAFF AND ANY INDIVIDUAL IN THE COMMUNITY A WAY TO

KEEP UP WITH WHAT IS GOING ON.

IT IS UPDATED AS SOON AS INFORMATION IS GATHERED BY

STAFF.

AND THEN WE PLACE IS IN THERE.

SO IT -- IT IS VERY HELPFUL IN TWO THINGS.

ONE, SEARCH THING THE STATUTE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE IN

COMPLIANCE WITH 163.

AND ALSO, SEARCHING THE PLANS TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE THE

STATUTE SAYS IF IT IS NOT IN THE PLAN, YOU CANNOT DO

IT.

TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE BACK MATERIAL, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT

COMES UP TO THE CITY ATTORNEY OR THE CRA ATTORNEY SO WE

ALL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR.

AND ALSO KEEPS US OUT OF TROUBLE.

SO IF YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED -- WE SENT THE INVITATIONS

OUT.

IF YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, AND WE

WILL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT.

ALSO, AS WAS MENTIONED BY MR. HENRY, WE ARE IN THE

PROCESS OF A WAY FINDING MISSION.

ALL OF THE CRAS AND THEIR PLANS STATE THEY SHOULD BE

DOING SOME SORT OF WAY FINDING.

WE HAVE GONE TO EACH OF THE CACS LAST MONTH AND ASKED

THEM FOR A PRORATED AMOUNT OF MONEY.

ALL, THAT IS DOWNTOWN, CHANNEL, HEIGHTS AND CENTRAL

PARK AND WE PUT AN INVITATION OUT TO THE OTHER CRAS IF

THEY WOULD LIKE TO JOIN IN.

THIS IS -- THIS IS IN ALL THE PLANS AND IF THIS IS

SOMETHING THAT THE CRA WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN, WE

ASKED THEM FOR A PRORATED $100,000 BETWEEN EACH OF THEM

BASED ON THE ACREAGE OF CRA TO DO A STUDY.

WE MET YESTERDAY WITH THE CITY AND DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP

TO GO OVER WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST, AND WE WILL

BE COMING BACK IN JUNE TO BRING THIS FORWARD FOR A VOTE

OF THE BOARD FOR THE MONEY FROM EACH OF THE CRAS.

YES, SIR?

09:53:58 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN?

09:54:01 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I WAS -- IT IS KIND OF LIKE I HAVE

BEEN SAYING BEFORE WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, WHEN ALL THE

CRAS COME TOGETHER, ALL THE IDEAS.

BECAUSE IF THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING THAT IS WONDERFUL,

WE HEAR WHY SHOULDN'T I DOCK THAT OVER HERE.

I THINK IT IS A GREAT CONCEPT.

AND THIS WAY PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT THE PLAYING FIELD CAN

NOW BE EQUAL LEVEL, RATHER THAN UNBALANCED.

BECAUSE IT IS UNBALANCED.

AND WE HAVE GOT TO BRING IT IN COMPLIANCE TO GET THE

EAST SIDE TO MOVING.

THAT IS THE PRIORITY.

THE EAST SIDE IS THE PRIME AUTHORITY TO GET IT MOVING.

BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE COMPLAINING BECAUSE

NOTHING IS HAPPENING.

YOU GOT TO HAVE AWARENESS.

EAST TAMPA HAVEN'T HAD THE WINS YET.

WE NEED SOME WINS.

YOU I LIKE THE CONCEPT BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT THAT

BEFORE.

THANK YOU.

09:54:51 >> THANK YOU, SIR.

WE HAVE SENT OUT THE INVITATION AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE

GOING -- WE ADD YBOR WEST, DREW AND EAST TAMPA TO -- TO

-- IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED.

09:55:03 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I THINK IT IS GOOD BECAUSE MAY HELP

YBOR TOO.

09:55:08 >> YES, SIR.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS WITH THE CITY.

THE MAIN THING IS ONCE THEY ARE PUT IN PLACE, THE

MAINTENANCE OF IT, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CONTINUES AND

HAS SUSTAINABILITY.

DOWNTOWN CRA, JUST SOME UPDATES WHERE WE ARE WITH THE

CRAS.

WE ARE CURRENTLY SOLICITING CONSULTANTS.

TWO CONSULTANTS WE ARE LOOKING AT TO REWRITE -- THAT IS

REWRITE, NOT UPDATE, THE CRA PLAN.

THE PLAN NEEDS TO BE UPDATED.

THAT'S ALL I AM GOING TO SAY ABOUT IT.

AND WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO DO A STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN.

NOT REQUIRED BY STATUTE BUT THE CRA PLAN IS AND NEEDS

TO BE UPDATED.

FRANKLIN STREET DISCUSSION WITH THE DOWNTOWN

PARTNERSHIP.

IT ACTUALLY HAS SPREAD OUT TO MORE OF THE DOWNTOWN, BUT

THEY ARE FOCUSING ON FRANKLIN STREET.

AND IN YOUR DOWNTOWN PLAN RIGHT NOW, FRANKLIN STREET IS

ADDRESSED.

SO WE ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM.

KID MASON COMMUNITY CENTER.

100% PLANS.

THEY ARE IN PERMITTING.

AND CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BEGIN -- KEEP YOUR FINGERS

CROSSED -- BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR.

HERMAN MASSEY PARK IS AT 60% PLANS.

WE DO NOT HAVE THE SOLID BUDGET YET, BECAUSE THEY ARE

AT 60% PLANS.

BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE DID ALLOCATE $144,000 OF

THE FUNDS AND WE DO HAVE TO PUBLIC ART AND CULTURE

BEGIN WORK ON THE PIECE OF ART THAT GOES WITH IT

BECAUSE WE WANT FOR IT TO COINCIDE.

WHEN YOU ARE AT THE RIBBON CUTTING, YOU WANT THAT PIECE

OF ART TO BE THERE ALSO.

WE ALSO, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF MATERIAL SHORTAGES AND

SUPPLY CHAIN AND INFLATION, WE ARE INCLUDING SOME MONEY

IN NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET FOR BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS

BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE -- TO HAVE TO COME BACK AND

ASK FOR MORE.

SO WE ARE PUTTING MONEY IN NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET JUST TO

COVER ANY ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.

IF THE MONEY IS NOT SPENT, IT WILL GO BACK IN THE TRUST

FUND AND BE USED FOR REDEVELOPMENT.

09:57:13 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

09:57:15 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

WE ARE WALKING A THIN LINE HERE BECAUSE SITTING HERE

CRA.

AND IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD CITY COUNCIL.

YOU MENTIONED HERMAN MASSEY PARK -- AND I AM NOT GOING

TO TRY TO GET THEM BOTH IN THE SAME AREAS, BUT WERE

THERE ANY PLANS THAT WERE CONCLUDED, FINISHED REGARDING

THIS PARK?

BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DISCUSSION OF MOVING A DOG

PARK FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER SIDE.

AND SOME PEOPLE LIKED IT.

SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE IT SOME OWNER OF A BUILDING

SAID THEY WOULD DO QUOTE, UNQUOTE SOMETHING.

WHATEVER THAT WAS.

09:57:49 >> I THINK I CAN UPDATE THE CRA BOARD.

I BELIEVE THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SITE REDESIGN

PROCESS AND HAVE COME UP WITH AN ACCEPTABLE REDESIGN

FOR THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNER WHO OBJECTED AND TO

THAT UPTOWN RIVER -- THAT DOWNTOWN RIVERSIDE GROUP, THE

CULTURAL ARTS ASSOCIATION AS WELL.

I THINK IT HAS GONE THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP AND THROUGH

THIS DOWNTOWN CAC.

SO THEY ARE DEVELOPING THE MORE CONCRETE PLANS FOR THE

REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PARKS AND THE SCHEMATICS HAVE BEEN

--

09:58:21 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I UNDERSTAND AND ALSO SOME

DISCUSSION WITH PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE IN THE HIGH-RISE

BUILDING THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD A BEAUTIFUL AREA AND

NOW THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT DOGS.

I AM NOT SURE ABOUT ALL OF THAT.

09:58:33 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
I THINK THAT HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER ISSUES THAT COME BACK WITH THE

PARK LATER ON.

09:58:41 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WILL QUIET MYSELF.

09:58:43 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MADAM CHAIR.

09:58:45 >>LYNN HURTAK:
MR. GUDES.

09:58:48 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
KID MASON.

100% PLANS.

WE HAVEN'T FOUND THE CONTRACTOR DO THE WORK.

09:58:54 >> ONCE THE PLANS ARE COMPLETED AT 100%, THEY GO OUT TO

PURCHASING AND GO OUT TO BID AND THEY COME BACK.

BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PLANS AT LEAST -- AT LEAST AT

80% TO 90%.

09:59:07 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I THOUGHT WE HAD THE CONTRACT AND

SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CONTRACT AND THE PLANS.

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION -- NOW WE SAY WE ARE 100%

WITH THE PLAN AND ITS NO CONTRACTOR.

AND POTENTIALLY -- WHAT 2023 -- LATE 2023 FOR

COMPLETION?

09:59:22 >> I WILL HAVE TO LOOK THAT UP FOR YOU.

09:59:25 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
IT'S FRUSTRATING AGAIN BECAUSE THESE

-- EVEN THOUGH IN THE DOWNTOWN CRA, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK

AT IT, THIS THING HAS BEEN SITTING ON IT SINCE 2019.

AND TO THE COMMUNITY, IT IS LIKE, WHAT ARE WE DOING.

I HATE TO SAY THAT, BUT JUST -- IT LOOKS BAD.

SO I AM GLAD THAT THE PLANS ARE COMPLETE, BUT WE NEED

TO KICK IN DOWN THE ROAD AND GET THAT MOVING.

09:59:49 >> I AGREE.

09:59:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THANK YOU.

09:59:52 >> YES, SIR.

09:59:53 >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM SORRY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

09:59:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WHILE YOU WERE THERE ON CHANNELSIDE, I

-- I CONGRATULATE YOU AT YOUR PRESENTATION AT THE

DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP MEETING.

VERY INFORMATIVE.

I ALSO WANT TO SAYS THERE DISCUSSION BETWEEN DOWNTOWN

CRA, PARKS AND RECREATION AND THE -- EXCUSE ME THE LEE

ROY SELMON ABOUT UNDERUSED AREAS UNDERNEATH THE SELMON.

AND I AM HOPING THAT COMES TO FRUITION.

PICKLEBALL COURTS, DOG PARKS, MINIATURE SOCCER FIELDS.

THAT CAN BE USED FOR SO MANY -- WALKING, BIKING, THAT

CAN BE USED FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS AND I AM

HOPING THAT ALL THREE, PARKS AND RECREATION, DOWNTOWN

CRA AND CROSSTOWN -- EXCUSE ME SELMON EXPRESSWAY CAN

SHOW THE UNDERUSED LANDS USED PROPERLY.

10:00:54 >> WE HAD A MEETING TWO WEEKS AGO, MIKE CAL LAN AND I,

AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CHANNEL DISTRICT.

AND YOU WILL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME FOR NOT HAVING THE

INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, BUT APPARENTLY THERE HAVE

BEEN ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH THEA.

THE NEW CHAIRMAN -- EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, I AM SORRY, WE

HAD AN EXCELLENT MEETING WITH THEM.

WE WENT IN ASKING FOR THREE DIFFERENT ITEMS.

THEY WERE AMENABLE TO ALL THREE.

SOME OF THOSE INCLUDED EXERCISE EQUIPMENT ON MERIDIAN,

ON THE WALKWAY.

SOME PUBLIC ART ON SOME OF THEIR PROPERTY IN THE

CHANNEL.

AND THEY EVEN TALKED TO US ABOUT UNDERNEATH THE ACTUAL

EXPRESSWAY AND WHAT WE CAN DO WITH IT.

WE HAVE HIGH HOPES THAT THIS NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR --

AND YOU MENTIONED AT THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP MEETING

HE GAVE A SPEECH ON HOW COMMUNITY-MINDED HE IS.

WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE A GOOD PARTNERSHIP WITH HIM.

10:01:52 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THIS CITY IS RUNNING RAPIDLY AND WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF

LAND AND PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE DOWNTOWN CHANNELSIDE

AREAS ARE LOOKING FOR PARKS AND GREEN SPACES AND THING

IS GOING TO BE A GREAT PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA

AND THE EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIRMAN.

10:02:09 >>BILL CARLSON:
MADAM CHAIR.

10:02:13 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, COUNCILMAN CHARLESTON.

10:02:15 >>BILL CARLSON:
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND BOARD FOR

ALLOWING ME TO WORK REMOTELY TODAY.

I WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF QUICK COMMENTS.

I MET WITH THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THEA A COUPLE

OF WEEKS AGO.

A GOOD PART OF THE ROAD GOES THROUGH MY DISTRICT AND

IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN ALL OF OUR

NEIGHBORHOODS.

ONE THING I DID ASK HIM ABOUT, MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER

NEW RAMP GOES -- GOES OVER BY TAMPA UNION STATION DOES

NOT GO IN FRONT OF TAMPA UNION STATION BECAUSE IT IS

IMPORTANT HISTORIC BUILDING AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE

THAT WE ALL PLEAD WITH THEM FOR AN ALTERNATIVE TO NOT

COME CUT IT OFF.

UNION STATION IS THE BACK DOOR AND FRONT DOOR TO THE

GAS WORX PROJECT AND A IMPORTANT TRANSPORTATION HUB.

AND HOPEFULLY A BUSINESS INCUBATOR.

TO OUR INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MISS TRAVIS.

YOU HEARD SOME OF THE CONVERSATION BEFORE, BUT WE HAD A

HARD TIME OF IT LAST THREE YEARS TO DIFFERENTIATE

BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE CRA.

AND IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE --

LOOK AT THEIR PARKS IN NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEIR BENCHES

ARE FALLING APART AND ROTTING AND WHY NO LAND SCAPE IS

DONE AND SIDEWALKS IN THEIR DISTRICT.

THE CITY IS NOT DECIDING TO ARBITRARILY TO GO FROM ONE

NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE OTHER.

IF IT SAYS CITY OF TAMPA 3.

IT NEEDS TO SAY CRA.

BRANDING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BEFORE THE

TRANSITION AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO EXPLAIN WHERE THE

BUCKETS OF MONEY IS COMING FROM AND ALSO IN THE

DISTRICT WE SEE ON THE CACS AND THEIR CONSTITUENTS WANT

TO KNOW ALSO HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT.

AND IN PARTICULAR IN EAST TAMPA AND OTHER AREAS TOO.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE EVEN THOUGH WE MAY BE PARTNERING

WITH THE CITY THAT SOME SIGN POPS UP, A CRA PROJECT IN

PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY, THEA WHOMEVER.

AND ANOTHER PIECE OF THAT IS IN THE PAST, WHEN JOE

CITRO WAS CHAIR AND MAYBE BEFORE, THE CHAIR WAS NOT

INVITED TO PRESS CONFERENCES FOR THE CRA.

A MINUTE AGO, THE SENATOR TALKED OF PUBLIC ART AND

OTHER HIGH PROJECTS THAT MAY GO FORWARD.

WHEN CITRO WAS CHAIR AND ASK WITH MISS HURTAK IS CHAIR.

AT THE VERY LEAST THE CHAIR AND VICE-CHAIR SHOULD BE

INVITED TO PRESS CONFERENCES AND THE PRESS CONFERENCES

SHOULD BE BUILT AROUND THEM.

NOT FOR THEIR SELF-PROMOTION BUT TO EXPLAIN TO THE

PUBLIC WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM, WHAT IT IS, AND

TO EXPLAIN TO MY CONSTITUENT DISTRICT THAT THE MONEY IS

WELL SPENT EVEN THOUGH PARTS OF THE CITY HAVE

SUBSIDIZING THESE DISTRICTS.

10:05:22 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN CITRO.

10:05:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

THERE IS A POINT THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON MADE THINK

THAT COULD NOT AGREE WITH HIM MORE.

AND I MENTIONED THIS SEVERAL TIMES.

EACH TIME A PROJECT IS BEING WORKED ON AND OR

DEVELOPED, THERE NEEDS TO BE A HUGE SIGN THERE THAT

SAYS YOUR CRA DOLLARS HARD AT WORK.

WITH A QUESTION UNDERNEATH THAT SAYS HOW CAN WE HELP

YOU.

SO COUNCILMAN CARLSON, I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE

ON THAT.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

10:05:55 >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.

MISS TRAVIS.

10:05:59 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.

I 100% AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU STATED.

WE ARE STILL CONTINUING THAT WORK ON THE MARKETING AND

BRANDING PIECE, NOT JUST FOR EACH CRA, BUT REALLY NEEDS

TO BE FOR THE CRA AS AN AGENCY COLLECTIVELY.

AND SO, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL HAPPEN.

IT WILL SAY THAT IT IS POWERED BY THE CRA AND WE CAN DO

QR CODES AND SUFFICIENT TO GIVE THEM MORE INFORMATION.

AND 100% AGREE THAT THAT INITIATIVE IS MOVING FORWARD

AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT.

10:06:33 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE?

10:06:36 >> ALL RIGHT, CHANNEL DISTRICT.

WE ARE NEARING THE END OF PHASE FOUR OF CHANNELSIDE

DRIVE.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR A LONG

TIME.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO GO ON AS WE CONTINUE TO MAKE

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

ALSO, THE AQUARIUM PARKING LOT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

TWIGGS STREET IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THE REST OF TWIGGS IN GMP 5 AND 6.

AGAIN, WE ARE DOING A JOINT CRA JOINT FINDING MISSION.

AND THAT INCLUDES BRANDING FOR EACH OF THE CRAS, COLOR,

IMAGES, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE BRANDING METHODOLOGY THAT

GOES ALONG WITH IT.

THE FONT.

THE RV LOT, THE CONTRACT IS PENDING AND HEADED TO

COMPLETION.

LANDSCAPING AND PUBLIC MAINTENANCE, RFPS IN PROGRESS.

WE ARE WORK WITH THE CAC AND THE CITY ATTORNEY ON THAT.

PRESSURE WASHING IS ALSO IN PROGRESS.

CHANNEL DISTRICT AMBASSADOR APPROVED BY THE BOARD IS IN

THE PROCESS.

ALL THOSE ARE IN THE PLAN.

AND THE GREENWAY MERIDIAN PROPOSAL IS IT WITH THEA AND

WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER A CONCEPTUAL PLAN.

UPDATING THE CRA REDEVELOPMENT PLAN TO THE PLANNING

COMMISSION WENT FORWARD.

IT WAS APPROVED.

NOW IT COMES BACK TO THE CITY OF TAMPA SO WE CAN

CONCLUDE WITH THE NEW CRA PLAN AND GET THAT UP AND

ROLLING.

10:08:04 >>LYNN HURTAK:
WAIT.

THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PARTICULAR --

10:08:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IF I MAY, MADAM CHAIR.

10:08:11 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN CITRO.

10:08:15 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WHEN THERE WAS TALK OF CHANGING OR

ROADS IN CHANNELSIDE DRIVE.

THERE WAS TALK OF SLOWING DOWN TRAFFIC TO A STANDSTILL

WITH THE CRUISE SHIPS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ON HOW THAT HAS BEEN AFFECTED?

10:08:29 >> I CAN TELL YOU IN TALKING WITH MR. CALLAHAN WHO HAS

BEEN INTIMATELY INVOLVED WITH THAT THAT THE PORTIONS OF

THE ROAD THAT ARE IN THE CITY'S CONTROL HAVE BEEN AND

ARE CHANGING ALONG THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO GET PEOPLE

INTO THE AQUARIUM AND ALSO THE CRUISE SHIPS HAVE BEEN

DIVERTED AND CHANGED TO GET THEM OFF OF THE ROAD.

THERE HAVE BEEN RECENTLY AS EARLY AS THIS LAST WEEK.

WE HAD TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE PLANS ON THAT.

THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING THOSE CHANGES.

THERE IS ALSO A PART OF CHANNELSIDE THAT IS OWNED BY

FDOT AND THAT IS F DOT.

UNLESS WE WORK WITH THEM, WE CAN'T CHANGE THEIR ROAD.

IT IS IN PROGRESS.

IT HAS BEEN MADE MORE OF A COMPLETE STREET WITH WIDER

SIDEWALKS.

A LOT OF LANDSCAPING AND A LOT OF GOOD WORK.

A LOT OF THOUGHTFUL WORK HOW TO GET PEOPLE OFF THE ROAD

AND INTO THE AQUARIUM AND INTO THE CRUISE SHIP AREA

WITHOUT BLOCKING CHANNELSIDE DRIVE.

10:09:37 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
FANTASTIC.

CUMBERLAND IS NOW COMPLETELY OPEN.

10:09:42 >> CUMBERLAND -- IT'S FUNNY NOT ON THE LIST BUT IT

SHOULD BE CUMBERLAND IS GMC 4.

AND IT IS A VERY SIMPLIFIED PROJECT.

NOT A LOT OF UTILITIES UNDER THE CONTROLLED ROAD.

WE ARE MOVING IT FORWARD AT ABOUT $1.3 MILLION.

WE WANT TO MOVE -- WE WILL BRING IT TO THE BOARD FOR

THE CHANGE.

WE WILL BE MOVING MONEY OVER SO WE CAN BEGIN CUMBERLAND

NOW AND DEBT IT OUT OF THE WAY CUMBERLAND IS OPEN AND

THE ROUNDABOUT AND PLAN ON MOVING THAT FORWARD BECAUSE

SUCH A SIMPLIFIED PROCESS AND TWIGGS HAS ENVIRONMENTAL

ISSUES AND WE WILL MOVE THINGS AROUND TO GET MORE WORK

DONE SOONER AND CUMBERLAND IS 100% DONE AND WE ARE NOT.

WE ARE MOVING THINGS AROUND SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE

THE CHANNEL DISTRICT RESIDENTS UPSET WITH ALL THE

CONSTRUCTION GOING ON UNTIL IT IS DONE.

10:11:02 >>LYNN HURTAK:
GM 34.

10:11:03 >> MAXIMUM PRICE.

DOING TO WORK TO GUARANTEE THE

MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION NOT INCLUDING ANY

TYPE OF AMENDMENTS OR ADDITIONS.

10:11:15 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN CITRO.

10:11:17 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I WANT TO THANK YOU.

CUMBERLAND AND THE CITY, HAVING DRIVEN THAT.

I AM NOTICING LESS AND LESS TRAFFIC ON CHANNELSIDE IN

FRONT OF SPARKMAN'S WHARF AND THE ARENA THAT IS MAKING

IT MUCH MORE BETTER -- MUCH BETTER?

MUCH BETTER FOR THE WALKING AND BIKING AND CALMED THE

TRAFFIC DOWN.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

10:11:46 >> MY ENTIRE LIFE USED TO MAKE IT TO DOWNTOWN TAMPA

BASED ON LANDMARKS.

THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THE CRA HAS REALLY MESSED THAT UP

FOR ME.

I HAVE TO LEARN ALL NEW LANDMARKS.

NEXT IS THE HEIGHTS WHICH YOU ALREADY HEARD.

I WILL ADD THIS.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE LEARNED THIS WEEK THAT THE

NORTH BOULEVARD BRIDGE, ALL THE BRIDGE ARE GOING

THROUGH A CITY REVIEW.

AND WE TALKED WITH THE PUBLIC ARTS AND IN CULTURE

YESTERDAY IN FACT.

AND WE ARE GOING TO WAIT FOR ANY WORK ON THAT BRIDGE

UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED WHERE THEIR REVIEW.

AND, AGAIN, THE -- THE WEST SIDE THE BEST CRA AND THE

HEIGHTS CRA ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF IT.

AND WE PLAN ON PARTNERING WITH THEM TO HELP WITH

WHATEVER HAPPENS WITH THAT BRIDGE.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF PARTNERING WITH OTHER CRAS BUT WE

HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS BALANCE IN CASE WE

GET AUDITED.

EXPLAIN HOW MUCH MONEY COMES FROM ONE AND HAVE A

METHODOLOGY FOR THAT.

CENTRAL PARK CRA, THE FIRST CRA TO SEE THE BENEFIT OF

GASWORX.

THE FIRST PHASE IN CENTRAL PARK CRA.

WE ARE TRYING TO FINDS SOMETHING.

A SMALL CRA THAT WILL NOT LAST VERY LONG BECAUSE OF GAS

WORX.

WE ARE TRYING TO FIND THING TO DO LOW HANGING FRUIT TO

GET THINGS GOING.

AND LUCKILY, WE SAT DOWN WITH THE TAMPA HOUSING

AUTHORITY, LEROY MOORE.

AND THEY PURCHASED THE JOHNSON HOMES WHICH ARE ON SCOTT

STREET OBVIOUSLY TO THE NORTH OF THE ALL THE TAMPA

HOUSING AUTHORITY PROJECTS.

AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT HISTORICALLY PRESERVING ONE

AND RENOVATING ANOTHER UP TO THE BUILDING CODE AND

PUTTING IT ON THE MARKET FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PARTNERING ON THIS PROJECT.

WHATEVER THEY DO, WE WOULD LIKE TO AUGMENT ABOVE AND

BEYOND TO EITHER TAKE IT TO A LEAD CERTIFICATION OR IN

TAMPA, THERE IS AN INSTITUTE CALLED THE INSTITUTE FOR

BUSINESS AND HOME SAFETY.

THAT IS RUN BY THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY.

THEY HAVE A SUPER CODE CALLED THE FORTIFIED CODE.

WE CAN WORK WITH THEM ON THAT WHICH WILL GIVE US A LOT

OF GOOD PRESS NATIONWIDE THROUGH THE INSURANCE

INDUSTRY.

AND THERE IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY OF A FLORIDA HOUSING

SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM OR SUSTAINABLE CODE THEY HAVE

ALSO.

I HAD A GOOD TALK WITH THEM YESTERDAY AT THE STATE OF

THE CITY ADDRESS.

AND WE ARE MEETING WITH THEM A THIRD TIME TO BEGIN A

TIMELINE WHEN THAT WILL BEGIN.

10:14:27 >>LYNN HURTAK:
JUST ONE MOMENT, COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

10:14:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

BUT GLAD YOU BROUGHT THE JOHNSON HOMES UP.

I KNOW AN ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER WRITTEN BY PAUL

GUZO.

THESE ARE THE LAST TWO HOMES, NOT INCLUDING THE JACKSON

HOUSE WHICH WAS A GROOMING US.

SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

LAST FEW KNOWN AS THE AREA KNOWN AS THE SCRUB OR

CENTRAL AVENUE.

AS YOU MENTIONED ONE MAY BE REHABILITATED TO BE USED AS

AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

I THINK THE OTHER SHOULD BE RESTORED AND PERHAPS THE

MUSEUM DEDICATED TO THE HISTORY OF CENTRAL AVENUE.

AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE THIS AREA IS WHAT

I CONSIDERED LIKE A BLACK YBOR CITY, RIGHT.

BUT YBOR CITY IS THERE AND WE CAN WALK DOWN 7TH AVENUE.

BUT BECAUSE OF URBAN RENEWAL, A LOT WAS DEMOLISHED AND

WHATNOT.

YBOR CITY EXISTS TODAY AND CENTRAL AVENUE DOES NOT.

I THINK BY THE MID-1970S.

IT WAS DEMOLISHED TO THE POINT OF WHAT WE SEE TODAY BUT

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PERHAPS A MUSEUM DEDICATED TO

CENTRAL AVENUE.

WE HAVE A MURAL OUTSIDE OF KID MASON WHICH IS FINE.

BUT WHEN YOU DRIVE BY.

PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

I DRIVE BY BECAUSE I RESEARCHED IT.

WE LOST SO MUCH HISTORY AND THESE TWO ARE THE LAST

SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

AND WE SHOULD PUT ONE TO GOOD USE.

I DON'T THINK IT IS BIG ENOUGH TO BE A COMMUNITY

CENTER, BUT SOME KINDS OF MUSEUM.

SAUNDERS LIBRARY HAS A LITTLE DISPLAY, BUT THIS AREA

DESERVES MORE CONSIDERING THAT THE WHOLE AREA WAS WIPED

OUT.

SO I AM GLAD TO SEE THIS BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO

PROPOSING IN THE NEAR FUTURE SOME TYPE OF

HISTORY-RELATED MUSEUM, WHATEVER IT IS BECAUSE I WANT

THIS GENERATION AND NEW GENERATIONS TO KNOW WHAT USED

TO BE THERE.

AND THAT IS NOT FORGOTTEN.

THANK YOU, SIR.

10:16:27 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

10:16:30 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

REGARDING LEED.

YOU TALKED ABOUT THE LEED PROGRAM.

OF ANY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE GOING TO BUILD TO PUT SOLAR

FOR HEAT.

AND STOP PLAYING AROUND WITH THE ENVIRONMENT.

YOU SEE THE FIRES THAT ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND

THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE BAYS.

EVERYWHERE.

AND WE ARE SITTING BACK AND WATCHING.

WE MUST DO SOMETHING AND MUST DO SOMETHING NOT

YESTERDAY BUT THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY BECAUSE IT IS

CATCHING UP US TO REALLY, REALLY QUICK.

ANY ONE OF THE CRAS HAVE ANY PLANS AT ALL TO YOUR

KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PUTTING UP PROGRAM WHERE YOU GET SO

MUCH -- IF YOU DO SO MUCH.

AND IN SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT.

10:17:17 >> THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY IS A GREAT IDEA FOR

CRAS TO GET INVOLVED WITH.

IT IS VERY SUSTAINABLE.

IT IS VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.

I HAVE SEEN PROGRAMS THAT HAVE AUGMENTED THE PACE

PROGRAM, WHICH IS A FEDERAL PROGRAM THAT HELPS

HOMEOWNERS PUT SOLAR ENERGY ON THEIR HOMES.

IT IS ACTUALLY A PART OF THE MORTGAGE.

AND THE CRA COULD WORK WITH THE PACE PROGRAM TO HELP

HOMEOWNER BASICALLY GET OFF THE GRID AND SOMETHING WE

CAN LOOK AT.

BUT AT THIS TIME, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, AS FAR AS I

KNOW --

10:17:57 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
LET ME SAID -- YOU SAID A WORD AND

DANDRUFF CAME BACK TO MY HEAD AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY

HAIR.

PACE.

THAT IS THAT THE PACE THAT CHARGES INTEREST AND PUTS IT

--

10:18:08 >> THAT IS THE PROGRAM HE IS TALKING ABOUT.

THEY PUT IT ON YOUR TAX BILL.

WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT HERE AND THAT HAS NOT BEEN

APPROVED.

AS WE -- YOU KNOW A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITY PLANS ARE MANY

YEARS OLD.

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEGINNING TO UPDATE THEM.

AREAS WE CAN LOOK AT, PERHAPS, UPDATING, BUT IT WILL BE

A STAND ALONE PROGRAM SINCE WE DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN

THAT.

10:18:32 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I ONLY SPEAK TO 1/7 OF THIS

CHAMBER.

IF I EVER SEE PACE, I WILL SUE THE HELL OUT OF

EVERYBODY.

BECAUSE YOU ARE TAKING AWAY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CAME

HERE TODAY ABOUT THEIR RENT -- NOT YOU, SIR.

BUT THE SYSTEM IS TAKING CARE OF HOLDING PEOPLE

HOSTAGE.

THEY SAID THEY ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING.

THEY DO IT ALL RIGHT.

BUT THE INTEREST RATE IS -- THE FIRST LIEN OVER THE

MORTGAGE HOLDER.

LET'S UNDERSTAND MY JUDGMENT AND MAYBE I AM WRONG, I

DON'T BELIEVE I AM.

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH PACE, PERIOD.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER SIX.

10:19:05 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN.

10:19:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
OFF SECOND WITH ME.

PACE IS A BAD FOUR-LETTERED WORD.

COUNCILMAN MIRANDA IS RIGHT.

IT IS PREDATORY AND WILL HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE.

100%.

SENIORS HERE.

THE FIRST TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF WITH PROGRAMS LIKE

PACE.

THAT HAS COME OVER AND OVER THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND

NO, NO, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

2/7.

TWO OUT OF SEVEN IN AGREEANCE.

10:19:35 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED.

THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

WHAT I AM LOOKING AT IS SOMETHING NEW THAT YOU CAN'T

JUST SAY -- I AM NOT TALKING OF YOU IN ANY WAY.

TO BE DISRUPTIVE OF THE NATURE OF WHAT YOU DO.

AND YOU DO IT VERY WELL.

COME OUT OF THE BOX AND THINK WHAT IF.

WHAT IF COMING IN, THEY WILL PAY A HIGHER RATE -- SAME

RATE OF TAXATION BUT HIGHER RATE OF MONEY BECAUSE THE

BUILDINGS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE.

WHAT IF IT IS LEGAL TO COME IN AND DO A PROPOSAL.

IF YOU PUT SO MUCH IN FOR FIVE YEARS OR WHATEVER YEARS,

CRA WILL GIVE YOU A BENEFIT OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE

PROPERTIES TO MEET THE DEMAND THAT WE HAVE TO CLEAN

THIS EARTH.

AND WHAT I AM SAYING IS, LET'S SAY $5,000, THE TAXES

AT THE END OF THE YEAR, AD VALOREM TAXES.

FOR FIVE YEARS WE GOT TO REDUCE 3500.

BUT YOU HAVE TO DO -- IN ORDER TO GET THE CREDIT, WHAT

IT DOES IS GIVE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT OWN THAT PROPERTY

A BENEFIT NOT ONLY IN SECURING AND HELPING THE

ENVIRONMENT, BUT A FINANCIAL ONE.

BUT A FINANCIAL ONE AT THE END IS WILLING TO PAY

BECAUSE THEY ARE WILLING TO GET SOMETHING BACK FOR IT.

I AM SAYING NUMBERS.

NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO DO THAT.

AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF FIVE YEARS, YOUR

PROPERTY IS WORTH X -- NOT ONLY X, BUT X PLUS Y EQUALS

COMPLETE ACT TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT TO GIVE YOU A

BREAK.

BUT IN ESSENCE, YOU WILL PAY BACK FOR IT AGAIN BECAUSE

YOUR HOUSE IS AT A HIGHER RATE BECAUSE YOUR

IMPROVEMENT.

MORE EASIER TO SELL.

YOU WILL BE LOOKING AT THOSE HOUSES AND THOSE BUILDINGS

MINUS THE ONES THAT DON'T HAVE IT.

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ON ANOTHER LEVEL ASIDE FROM

THAT.

THAT IS JUST ME THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.

I AM A WHAT IF TYPE OF INDIVIDUAL BUT I AM ANTI-PACE

1,000%.

10:21:43 >> UNDERSTAND.

I WON'T MENTION IT AGAIN.

WE CAN LOOK AT A PROGRAM WHERE THE CRA, AS LONG AS IT

IS IN THE PLAN, SO I CAN MAKE THE ATTORNEY HAPPY, WHERE

THE CRA HELPS THE HOMEOWNER AND WE CAN PUT A -- WHEN

YOU SELL, YOU CAN PAY IT BACK UNLESS IT IS SO MANY

YEARS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT SO MANY IMPROVING THEIR

HOME AND TURNING AROUND AND SELLING IT AND TAKING

ADVANTAGE OF THE CRA.

10:22:14 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I UNDERSTAND.

10:22:17 >> THAT WAY THE HOMEOWNER DOESN'T PAY UNTIL THE HOUSE

IS SOLD AND AT THE SAME TIME, THEY SAVE ON THEIR

ENERGY BILLS.

10:22:24 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
SOMETHING WE SHOULD TAKE UP ON

ANOTHER DAY.

WE HAVE GRANT PROGRAMS AND BECOMING A GRANT TYPE OF

AGENCY.

AS LONG AS IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN WE CAN

FASHION A GRANT PROGRAM SIMILAR TO THE FACADE GRANTS TO

HELP INCENTIVIZE.

10:22:42 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
LET ME TELL YOU WHY I SAY THAT.

I COME FROM THE CONDOMINIUMS OF TAMPA.

THERE WAS NO WORD CONDOMINIUM.

IT HAVEN'T BEEN INVENTED.

BUT REALLY THE TAMPA HOUSING AUTHORITY.

HOWEVER, THAT TAMPA HOUSING AUTHORITY, GUESS WHAT YOU

HAD BACK IN THE '50S.

YOU HAD A PANEL FOR HOT WATER THAT WILL CREATE YOUR HOT

WATER WITHOUT USING ANY ELECTRICITY OR ANY GRASS.

ONCE IN A WHILE YOU MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE TOO MUCH SHADE.

IT WON'T BE EXACTLY HOW YOU WANTED IT ON THE COOL SIDE,

BUT THAT WAS FINE.

THOSE THINGS YOU HAVE BACK IN THE 50S.

AND HERE YOU ARE 70 YEARS LATER AND STILL TRYING TO

USE SOMETHING ALREADY INVENTED IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

WE HAVE TO THINK IF WE DO SOMETHING ON A SMALL THING --

AND JUST THROWING THIS OUT.

I AM NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO DO THIS AND THAT.

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LAWS ARE.

BUT IF YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I THINK IT WOULD BE

AN ALERT AND THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF TAMPA WOULD JOIN

IN AND DO SOME OF THAT THEMSELVES.

AND IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A CITY THAT EVERYBODY REALLY

CARES TO COME TO, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU GIVE THEM OTHER

THAN YOU GOT THE MOST SUN EVER.

AND YOU HAVE THE PROPOSAL THERE THAT YOU CAN USE IT,

WHY NOT USE IT.

10:24:01 >> YES, SIR.

10:24:03 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WILL TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

I GOT INVOLVED WITH THAT IN MY OWN HOME.

MY WATER BILL LAST MONTH WAS $25.25.

SO WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO

UNDERSTAND IF YOU PUT THE INVESTMENT, YOU ARE GOING TO

GET THE MONEY BACK IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SORRY TO TAKE SO MUCH OF YOUR TIME, MADAM CHAIR.

10:24:22 >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO WORRIES, THANK YOU.

10:24:26 >> SO THE LAST THING IS, ONCE WE ARE FINISHED WITH THE

DOWNTOWN PLAN AND THE PROCESS REQUIRED BY THE STATUTE,

WE WILL START LOOKING TO CENTRAL PARK TO UPDATE THEIR

PLAN OR TO REWRITE IT.

AND THAT WILL BE GOOD BECAUSE AT THAT POINT GAS WORX

WILL BE COMING ONLINE WITH THE FIRST PHASE AND WILL

BEGIN TO SEE THE FIRST RESPONSE TO THE INCREMENT

REVENUE FOR THAT PROGRAM.

YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER PLAN BEING UPDATED.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO JESUS, AND HE CAN

TALK.

10:25:01 >> GOOD MORNING, BOARD MEMBERS.

HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HEAR ME HERE.

I KNOW I STRUGGLE A LITTLE BIT TO PROJECT MY VOICE, SO

I HAVE TO SCREAM A LITTLE BIT.

BEFORE YOU HERE WE HAVE -- I AM GOING TO KEEP IT BRIEF

AS WELL.

THE PARKING STUDY THAT WE HAVE INITIATED FOR THE WEST

TAMPA AREA.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR APPROVING THE FUNDING FOR THAT.

INCLUDING WITH YOUR OTHER HAT AS CITY COUNCIL.

THAT WILL PROGRESS PRETTY SMOOTHLY, HOPEFULLY.

IN ADDITION WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY PARKS AND

RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE

IMPROVEMENT OF PARKS, RAFF PARK AND SALCINES PARK.

SALCINES, A COURTYARD STYLE.

THIS WILL CHANGE ONCE WE GET THE DESIGN BUILT

CONSULTANT WORKING WITH PARKS AND REC TO GET THAT FIRM

IN PLACE TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE INPUT FROM THE

COMMUNITY.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS SLIDE?

10:26:02 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YOU SAID -- SALCINES PARK.

10:26:03 >> YES, SIR.

10:26:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IF I MAY, MADAM CHAIR.

10:26:11 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.

MR. NINOS, WHERE HAVE THE PARKING STUDY LEAD TO?

BEFORE YOU CAME ALONG THERE WERE YEARS AND YEARS AND

YEARS OF DISCUSSION OF IT.

HOW FAR ALONG ARE WE IN THE STUDY.

10:26:25 >> THE STUDY JUST STARTED AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD TO

COME BACK TO CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE WE HAD TO ADD FUNDING

THAT WENT ABOVE $100,000.

WE ARE IN THE VERY BEGINNING STAGES OF DATA COLLECTION.

10:26:37 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIND

PARKING AROUND THERE OR TO BUILD PARKING.

HARDLY ANYTHING LEFT ALONG GREEN STREET AND VERY LITTLE

LEFT ON MAIN STREET.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

10:26:52 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

10:26:56 >> AS FAR AS THE ALLEYWAYS, WE HAVE CLEANED UP OVER 120

ALLEYWAYS.

WE DID TAKE A BREAK FOR A FEW WEEKS AND WE ARE TO GET

STARTED AGAIN AND WRAP UP THE REMAINING ALLEYS AND GO

BACK TO THE OLD ALLEYS TO CLEAN THEM UP AND TOUCH THEM

UP.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF AN INDIVIDUAL HOLDING SOME OF OUR

SIGNS THAT WE PUT UP AFTER WE CLEANED UP THE ALLEYWAYS

AND SOME OF THE WORKERS THERE.

SO IT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AS FAR AS MYSELF.

BECAUSE I MAKE SURE TO ACTUALLY WALK THESE ALLEYS

BEFORE THEY CLAIM THEM.

AND AFTERWARDS AS WELL.

SO IT IS FUN.

AT LEAST I GET TO GET OUT THERE AND SEE WHAT IS GOING

ON.

10:27:32 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN CITRO.

10:27:35 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MADAM CHAIR, IF I MAY, THE COMMUNITY

THANKS YOU.

I HEARD NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND

ESPECIALLY YOUR HELPING HANDS IN THIS.

SO I THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATE YOU ON THIS PROJECT.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

10:27:52 >> CLEAN TEAM.

WE HAVE A TEMPORARY CLEAN TEAM CLEANING UP THE AREA

FROM HOWARD, FREMONT, GREEN TO UNION.

IT IS TEMPORARILY.

WE ARE ABOUT TO RFP FOR A FULL-TIME CLEAN TEAM.

WE LEARNED OUR LESSON FROM A TEMPORARY ONE AND EXPAND

OUR AREA OVER TO ARMENIA, KEEP IT TO FREMONT, UNION AND

GREEN STREET.

CHANGE THE DAYS AROUND A LITTLE BIT TO MAKE IT WORK.

LITTLE BETTER FOR US.

I THINK RIGHT NOW MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND

CHANGE IT TO MONDAY, THURSDAY AND SATURDAYS.

AND WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA DAYS JUST IN CASES

THERE SOME KINDS OF EVENT AND WE WILL GET IT OUT THERE.

AND IT IS NOT ON THE SLIDES HERE, BUT I DID WANT TO SAY

THANK YOU TO ANY ONE OF YOU INDIVIDUALS THAT HELPED OUT

WEST TAMPA GET -- HISTORIC WEST TAMPA DISTRICT SIGNS ON

INTERSTATE 275 ON EXIT 42.

MR. JOE ROBINSON.

10:28:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IF I MAY, MADAM CHAIR.

10:28:58 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.

10:29:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
JOE AND I ARE ASKING YOU TO CONTACT

D.O.T. TO HALT ALL TRAFFIC TO GET A PICTURE IN FRONT OF

THAT SIGN.

10:29:08 >> GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

10:29:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

10:29:12 >> THAT CONCLUDES WEST TAMPA.

ANY YES, SIR?

THANK YOU.

WE WILL PURSUE OVER TO DREW PARK.

DREW PARK IS GETTING A LOT OF ACTION LATELY AS FAR AS

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS.

SOME OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS IN THE COMMUNITY STARTING

TO BECOME VERY ACTIVATED WITH TRYING TO IMPROVE DREW

PARK.

FOR INSTANCE, WE WERE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE

COMMUNITY TO IMPROVE WITH TAMPA BAY LINEAR PARK TO MAKE

IT FROM A PASSIVE PARK TO AN ACTIVE PARK AND WORKING

WITH THE COMMUNITY TO HOPEFULLY CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD

PARK.

YOU SEE THERE WITH THE PARCELS THERE OUTLINED.

1.97 ACRE.

WE HAVE A CONSULTANT PLACEMAKER DESIGN STUDIOS LCC THAT

WILL COME UP WITH CONCEPT AND ESTIMATE PRICES FOR THESE

IMPROVEMENTS.

ONCE WE HAVE THAT IN PLACE, WE WILL DO THE APPROPRIATE

REPROGRAMMING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE CRA FOR

APPROVAL.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS SLIDE?

SAME THING WITH LOIS AND GRADY.

WE COMPLETED INTERVIEW WITH CONSULTANTS.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN SELECT ONE VERY SOON TO HAVE THEM GIVE

US AN AUDIT OF GRADY, LOIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF HOW

TO MAKE THEM BETTER, MORE PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY, SAFER

FOR THE COMMUNITY AND MORE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.

AS FAR AS -- WE ARE WORKING WITH CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

WITH ANOTHER CONSULTANT FOR DREW PARK AREAWIDE TO HELP

IDENTIFY MOBILITY AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.

THAT CONCLUDES DREW PARK.

ANY QUESTIONS?

THANK YOU.

10:30:56 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

10:31:00 >> GOOD MORNING, CEDRIC MCCRAY, EAST TAMPA MANAGER.

I WILL BE STANDING IN FOR MISS COURTNEY ORR ON HER

PORTION OF PRESENTATION.

A FEW THINGS SHE WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT FOR THE MONTH

OF APRIL IS THE CRA SUBCOMMITTEES ARE DEVELOPING THEIR

FY '23 BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDED BUDGET ON

MAY 24.

TPD DID SPEND SOME TIME AT ONE OF THEIR MEETINGS THAT

RELATES TO THE CAPTAIN BRETT OWEN BEING MOVED TO

DISTRICT THREE.

AND CHIEF O'CONNOR HELD A QUESTION-AND-ANSWER SESSION

WITH THE CRA MEMBERS.

THE CAC DESIGNATED PETER WRIGHT TO SERVE ON THE YBOR

COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR AND CLEAN TEAM RFP SELECTION

COMMITTEE AND THAT BID WILL BE OPENING -- OR HAS OPENED

ALREADY ON MAY 5.

AT THE BOTTOM THERE, THERE HAS BEEN INFORMATION

PROVIDED CONCERNING THE NEW PARKING -- ON-STREET

PARKING AND THE PEAKS AND VALLEYS OF THOSE FEES AND

WHAT THE USAGE TIMES.

10:32:10 >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE DID HAVE A QUESTION OF THE

HOMELESS LIAISON OFFICER REPORTS.

10:32:15 >> YES.

10:32:18 >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY SORT OF -- CAN YOU ELABORATE AT

THAT AT ALL?

10:32:24 >> I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY BACKGROUND FROM MISS ORR AS IT

RELATES TO THE INFORMATION, BUT I CAN GLADLY SPEAK WITH

HER.

10:32:29 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT WILL BE GREAT BECAUSE I AM GETTING

A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THAT

PARTICULAR --

10:32:37 >> I KNOW THERE WERE CONCERNS PREVIOUSLY -- IN PREVIOUS

MONTHS OF A BENCH OR SEATING AREA AND THAT HAS BEEN

TAKEN CARE OF, TO MY UNDERSTANDING.

10:32:46 >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM SORRY, COUNCILMAN GUDES.

10:32:47 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I HAVEN'T HAD ANY MORE COMPLAINTS

ABOUT THAT.

BUSINESSES ARE VERY, VERY HAPPY NOW.

AND, AGAIN, NOT TO DISRESPECT THE HOMELESS PEOPLE WHO

ARE THERE, BUT SEVERAL BUSINESSES THERE ANDER.

LOSING BUSINESSES AND PEOPLE COULD NOT ENJOY TO SIT

10:34:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IF I MAY, MADAM CHAIR.

10:34:11 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.

10:34:15 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THE GATEWAY IS BEING CONSTRUCTED AND

FRAN CONSTATINO IS A HAPPY WOMAN.

10:34:21 >> YES.

10:34:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK THE YBOR CRA FOR GETTING THESE

SIGNS CHANGED.

THEY ARE LOOKING A LITTLE RAGGED.

10:34:30 >> WILL DO.

NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO EAST TAMPA.

OKAY, JUST A FEW UPDATES.

THE SUBCOMMITTEES HAVE BEEN MEETING MONTHLY AND SOME

BIWEEKLY AS IT RELATES TO THE BUDGET WORKSHOP.

WE DID HAVE AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE ON THE OVERLAY

DISCUSSION TO MOVE FORWARD AS IT RELATES TO EAST TAMPA

AND THE OVERLAY.

AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW THERE WERE DISCUSSIONS THAT

TOOK PLACE SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

AND WHEN WE HAD TO CHANGE IN THE -- THE CHAIR AND SOME

OF THE NEW LEADERSHIP ON THE SUBCOMMITTEES.

WE DECIDED TO PICK THAT BACK UP AND THEY VOTED TO MOVE

FORWARD IN THAT PROCESS.

TREE TRIMMING, IT'S MOVING.

VERY MUCH SO.

A LOT OF CALLS.

AND MR. BURKES HAS TAKEN THAT ON FROM ME AND IS DOING A

FABULOUS JOB PROVIDING A EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE TO

THE RESIDENTS OF EAST TAMPA.

WE HAD A LOT OF MOVEMENT IN THE DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE

WITH HCD.

SO DOLLARS ARE BEING EXTENDED TO US FOR RESIDENTS FOR

THEIR DOWNPAYMENT FOR PROPERTIES WITHIN THE EAST TAMPA

CRA BOUNDARIES.

A SPECIAL CALLED WORKSHOP WITH THE CRA BOARD AND EAST

TAMPA CAC, AND ALL OF YOU PARTICIPATED IN THAT.

WE HAD A NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT PRESENTATION THAT

TOOK PLACE THIS PAST TUESDAY AT THE REQUEST OF THE

CHAIR AND THE CAC AND SEVERAL UPDATE, CONCERNS THAT

CAME UP AND THEY WERE ALL ADDRESSED AS IT RELATES TO

SOME OF THE CONCERNS IN EAST TAMPA AND NEIGHBORHOOD

ENHANCEMENT/CODE ENFORCEMENT.

WOULD LIKE TO LIFT UP AND HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF

COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE WITH FDOT ON APRIL 19.

AND VIRTUAL PRESENTATION THAT TOOK PLACE ON THE 21ING.

FDOT IN OUR CONVERSATIONS AND WANTED TO HAVE

COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT THEY WOULD

LIKE TO SEE.

I KNOW HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE HAS BEEN A TOPIC OF

DISCUSSION AS IT RELATES TO TRAFFIC CALMING AND OTHER

AREAS, ARTERIAL ROADS THAT CUT THROUGH EAST TAMPA.

AND THEY WILL BE REPORTING PACK AT SOME POINT LATER

THIS YEAR WITH THE REPORT FROM THE SURVEYS THAT THEY

HAVE COLLECTED AND HOW THEY WILL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH

THE WORK THAT IS TO BE DONE.

WE CONTINUED TO -- IN EAST TAMPA, HAVE ONE ON ONE

MEETINGS WITH CAC MEMBER AND THE EAST TAMPA CRA STAFF.

THERE HAVE BEEN A SURVEY PERIOD WITH FIFTH THIRD BANK.

MANY OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT THE CDC OF TAMPA HAS

RECEIVED FUNDING FOR -- FOCUSED ON EAST TAMPA AND SOME

OF OUR CAC MEMBER HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY

PANELS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

DID GET AN E-MAIL BACK YESTERDAY OR THE DAY BEFORE

THANKING US FOR HELPING FACILITATE THAT WITH OUR CAC

MEMBERS THAT PARTICIPATED AND THEY GOT A LOT OF GOOD

INFORMATION AND COMMENTS FROM FOLKS IN EAST TAMPA.

10:37:29 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MR. MCCRAY.

10:37:30 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.

10:37:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
HOPING THAT MONEY FROM FIFTH THIRD --

A LOT OF MONEY -- UTILIZED FOR PREDEVELOPMENT IN EAST

TAMPA, NOT JUST FOR INVESTORS, BUT ACTUAL BUSINESS

OWNERS TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR PROPERTY AND BE ABLE TO

REINVEST AND STAY THERE AND BE ABLE TO BE AN OWNER OF

THE PROPERTY.

NOT JUST OUTSIDE ENTITIES THAT ARE CONTROLLING IT, BUT

TO HAVE THOSE FOLKS THAT WILL BE GENTRIFIED THAT THEY

CAN STAY THERE, A PART OF THE REDEVELOPMENT.

THE OWNER IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND OUTSIDE PEOPLE OR PEOPLE COMING IN CONTROLLING THE

PROPERTY.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT MONEY WILL BE UTILIZED

IN A PROPER WAY THAT THOSE FOLKS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF

THAT MONEY AND NOT JUST OTHER END TEASE CONTROLLING THE

MONEY BUT CONTROLLING THE NARRATIVE.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A PART OF THAT MAKING SURE THE

PEOPLE AND RESIDENTS ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE MONEY FOR

THE PROPERTY, TO CONTROL THEIR PROPERTY, AND DOESN'T GO

BACK TO SOMETHING ELSE TO CONTROL IT.

SO I WANTED TO BE CLEAR AND I WANT TO BE WATCHING THAT

TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN.

10:38:39 >> POINT TAKEN AND I HAD COMMUNICATION WITH THE CDC OF

TAMPA TO COME AT A LATER DATE AND DISCUSS THE OVERALL

--

10:38:44 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
CHICAGO HAS A GOOD PROGRAM FOR

REDEVELOPMENT WITH THAT.

THEY HAVE A VERY GOOD PROGRAM WITH THAT.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE.

THEY ARE IN CONSTANT REDEVELOPMENT.

CHICAGO IS A GOOD MODEL THAT PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO STAY

THERE AND HAVE CONTROL OF THEIR PROPERTY AND INVEST.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT -- I KNOW A LOT OF GROUPS

THAT WANT TO GET THEIR HANDS ON IT AND THAT IS FINE,

BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE A PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS

ABLE TO STAY AND BE AN OWNER OF THEIR PROPERTY AND NOT

HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE CONTROL THEIR PROPERTY.

10:39:19 >> UNDERSTOOD.

AS MOST OF THE CRAS, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING

IT OUT FOR FY '23.

WE HAD A FAIRLY GOOD MEETING ON APRIL 26.

THE NEXT ONE SCHEDULED FOR MAY 19 AND ANOTHER DATE JUNE

2, AND TAKEN PLACE AT RAVEN PARK COMMUNITY CENTER AND

TIME IS 6 P.M.

WE ARE STARTING TO HAVE SOME APPLICATIONS BECAUSE OUR

ELECTION CYCLE IS STARTING FOR THE EAST TAMPA

PARTNERSHIP.

AND APPLICATIONS ARE TRICKLING IN AND WE HAD A COUPLE

THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON TERMS, AND THEY HAVE REAPPLIED.

I JUST RECEIVED TWO APPLICATIONS AS OF YESTERDAY.

AS IT RELATES TO THE AD-HOC COMMITTEE THAT IS BUILT

OUT.

WE HAVE COMMITMENTS FROM FIVE TO SEVEN PEOPLE THAT WILL

FORM THAT COMMITTEE AND MR. HAROLD JACKSON WILL BE

SERVING AS THE CHAIR FOR THE AD-HOC NOMINATING

COMMITTEE FOR THE PARTNERSHIP.

10:40:17 >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF YOU DON'T MIND, IF YOU CAN GO BACK

AND TALK OF THE SUMMER YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM.

10:40:22 >> YES.

10:40:23 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

10:40:24 >> YES.

SO RECEIVED AN UPDATE.

WE CONDUCT A SUMMER YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM.

WE PARTNER WITH NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT AND THE CLEAN

TEAM.

WE HAVE 21 -- RECEIVED ABOUT 21 APPLICATIONS AS IT

RELATES TO THAT SUMMER PROGRAM.

AND THERE HAS BEEN SOME CONVERSATIONS.

I DID SHARE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE PARTNERSHIP THIS

PAST TUESDAY AND THEY REQUESTED THAT WE DO AN

ADDITIONAL BLITZ.

I THINK THE DEADLINE WAS MARCH 16 WAS THE APPLICATION

DEADLINE.

I DID SPEAK WITH MISS SLATON WITH NEIGHBORHOOD

ENHANCEMENT TO SEE IF WE CAN EXTEND THAT TO YIELD MORE

APPLICATIONS AND IT WAS EXTENDED FOR ANOTHER TWO OR

THREE WEEKS AND I AM GETTING CALLS AND E-MAILS AS IT

RELATES TO EXTENDING IT FURTHER AND COMING UP TO THE

END OF THE MONTH HERE AND THE OVERALL PROGRAM IS SLATED

TO START ON JUNE 6.

SO WE WILL HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH MISS SLATON.

I ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO HER THIS MORNING AND HR TO

SEE WHAT WE CAN TO DO EXTEND IT, IF POSSIBLE.

10:41:33 >>LYNN HURTAK:
AND -- SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS

IS JUST A CLEANUP PROGRAM.

10:41:42 >> YES, PRIMARILY IN THE PAST THERE HAVE BEEN

RIGHT-OF-WAY CLEANUP DUTIES AND THEY ARE OUT WITH THE

CLEAN TEAM DURING THE SUMMER.

I HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH MISS SLATON AND SHERISHA

HILLS WITH PARKS AND RECREATION.

SOME OF THE YOUTH WILL BE DESIGNATED TO PARKS AND

RECREATION SO THEY CAN GET OTHER SKILLS WHEN IT RELATES

TO AQUATICS, GROUNDS, FIELD, MAINTENANCE AND THE LIKE,

WITHIN THE PARKS AND REC PROGRAM.

AND THEY WILL BE PLACED AT LOCATIONS WITHIN EAST TAMPA.

10:42:15 >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WOULD REALLY LOVE FOR NEXT SUMMER WE

COULD COME UP WITH SOME ALTERNATIVE THINGS THAT

CHILDREN -- THAT OUR YOUTH COULD BE DOING.

OTHER THAN THAT.

YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS SHOULD REALLY BE HELPING THEM

TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

AND WHILE I DO UNDERSTAND THAT CLEANUP IS A GREAT

THING, BUT THAT IS PROBABLY PART OF THE REASON YOU ARE

NOT GETTING THE ACTIONS BECAUSE -- YOUTH DON'T SEE THIS

AS A FUTURE EMPLOYMENT.

SOMETHING THEY ARE LEARNING ABOUT.

SO I REALLY HOPE THAT STARTING SOON WE CAN START

TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR NECK SUMMER.

I DON'T WANT THIS TO GO BY THE WAYSIDE.

10:43:05 >> YES, MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE FOLLOW THE TRADITIONAL

PROCESS THAT THEY HAVE DONE EVERY SUMMER.

I KNOW MOVING FORWARD WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE SOME

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS.

10:43:16 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THE ACTIVITY PROCESS TOO.

SO I WOULD LOVE IF YOU COULD BRING SOMETHING BACK MAYBE

IN SEPTEMBER ABOUT THAT.

PLEASE.

JUST -- WHAT OTHER OPTIONS ARE OUT THERE.

WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES AND MAYBE WHAT OTHER CRAS AND

OTHER ACTIVITIES BECAUSE -- THANK YOU.

10:43:35 >> YES, MA'AM.

10:43:36 >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN I MAKE A MOTION.

10:43:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
GO AHEAD, MA'AM.

10:43:40 >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN I MAKE A MOTION TO BRING THAT BACK

IN SEPTEMBER.

10:43:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
SECOND.

10:43:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
A MOTION FROM CHAIRWOMAN HURTAK.

SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CITRO.

ALL IN FAVOR.

OPPOSED.

ALL RIGHT.

10:43:55 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

YOU ALL ARE SO HELPFUL.

ANYONE ELSE?

COUNCILMAN GUDES.

10:44:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
YOU KNOW OF THE VIOLENCE IN EAST

TAMPA.

10:44:07 >> YES, SIR.

10:44:10 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
WE TALK ABOUT CRIME REDUCTION, BUT WE

HAVE A LOT OF VIOLENCE.

PEOPLE COME BY THE FUNERAL HOME.

THEY COME BY THE HOUSE.

I GET CALLS AT NIGHT.

RECENTLY MISS FRANKIE'S SON JUST GOT SHOT.

SHE IS VERY UPSET BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT

THAT FOREVER.

I HAVE SOME IDEAS, AND I THINK -- YOU KNOW, I THINK

EAST TAMPA HAS SOME MONEY THAT WE CAN LOOK AT.

WE KNOW THE HOT SPOTS.

WE NEED TO GET TO TPD AND SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY MONEY IN

THAT POLICE FUND.

EAST TAMPA HAS MONEY IN OUR BUDGET TO LOOK AT CAMERAS

IN THE HOT SPOT AREAS TO PUT THEM UP.

SOME DON'T LIKE IT, BUT THE FOLK THAT LIVE THERE, THEY

WANT TO BE PROTECTED.

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT ANYMORE.

THEY WANT TO ELEMENT GONE.

CHELSEA, I THINK IT IS COURTLAND, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS

CITY PROPERTY, THAT BACK LOT.

WE NEED TO FENCE IT OFF.

IF THAT IS OUR PROPERTY, WE NEED TO FENCE IT OUT.

ACTIVITIES IN THAT LOT.

A COUPLE OF HOUSES IN CHELSEA ON THAT STREET THAT HAVE

A LOT OF ACTIVITY.

I AM NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT.

IT IS WHAT IT IS AND PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING

TREMENDOUSLY.

LAKE AND 15TH.

I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE SPOTS WE NEED TO

PUT CAMERAS UP SO PEOPLE CAN KNOW IT IS BEING MONITORED

TO LET THE RESIDENTS FEEL SAFE, THE BUSINESS OWNERS

FEEL SAFE, AND THAT ELEMENT GOES SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE

HOUSE AND WHATEVER.

IT IS BECOMING A PROBLEM.

AND WE HAVE MONEY IN THE BUDGET.

THAT COULD BE UTILIZED UNDER THE STATUTE FOR SAFETY AS

FAR AS THAT ISSUE.

AND, AGAIN, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION IN

REFERENCE TO THAT BOARD TO GET TO MOVED VERSUS GOING

BACK TO THE CAC.

A SAFETY ISSUE.

WE HAVE VIOLENCE AND SHOOTINGS AND IT NEEDS TO BE

HANDLED.

10:46:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECONDS.

10:46:06 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
A MOTION TO GET TPD AND ALLOCATION OF

PARTNERS TO PUT CAMERAS IN PARTICULAR HOT SPOTS WITHIN

THE CITY OF EAST TAMPA TO COMBAT THE GUN VIOLENCE.

10:46:15 >>LYNN HURTAK:
MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN GUDES.

SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

ALL IN FAVOR.

10:46:25 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
JUST TO CLARIFY, WHAT IS ALLOWED IN

THE STATUTE AND THE PLAN IS COMMUNITY POLICING TYPE OF

TECHNIQUES.

SO WE WOULD HAVE TO GET WITH TPD TO MAKE SURE WE ARE

USING IN THAT MANNER THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH BOTH THE

STATUTE AND THE PLAN.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.

10:46:40 >>BILL CARLSON:
MADAM CHAIR --

10:46:43 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
WE NEED TO GET ON THAT ASAP.

MISS FRANKIE -- SHE HAS BEEN ON THAT SINCE DAY ONE.

AND NOW ONE OF HER BOYS GOT SHOT.

MISS FRAN, THE RICE UP FOR PEACE GROUP.

I THINK NOW WE GOT TO BE LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE NOW IN

OUR TACTICS FOR THOSE ACTUAL RESIDENTS NOW.

CAN'T WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT CAMERAS, BUT

THE RESIDENTS ARE COMPLAINING, CHILDREN ARE BEING SHOT.

STRAY BULLETS.

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

10:47:16 >> I SPOKE TO MISS JONES BEFORE I LEFT THE OFFICE.

AND WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD CONVERSATION.

COUNCILMAN, YOU TALKING CHELSEA --

10:47:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE LOT BEHIND IT IS OURS OR NOT, BUT

IF IT IS, WE NEED TO FENCE IT OFF TO KEEP THAT ELEMENT

OUT OF THERE.

SO, YOU KNOW, YOU PRETTY MUCH KNOW THE HOT SPOTS WE ARE

TALKING ABOUT IN THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN THAT WE NEED TO

PUT SOME CONTROL ON IT.

10:47:41 >>BILL CARLSON:
MADAM CHAIR.

10:47:43 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.

10:47:46 >>BILL CARLSON:
BOARD MEMBER GUDES, WOULD YOU MINDS

EITHER AMENDING YOUR MOTION OR JUST MAKE A SECOND ONE

OR I CAN MAKE IT, IF YOU WOULD WANT, BUT YBOR CITY HAS

SHOOTINGS GOING ON AND THREATENED SHOOTINGS.

AND I THINK -- LOOK AT EAST TAMPA AND YBOR, BUT THE

SECOND THING IS, I THINK WE NEED TO GET A REPORT BACK

FROM MAYBE THE POLICE CHIEF AND OR STAFF THAT WILL LOOK

AT THIS IN A MONTH OR TWO JUST TO LET US KNOW WHAT

THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AND HOW THEY ARE WORKING WITH

STAFF.

10:48:19 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I DON'T MIND AMENDING IT.

BUT TO GET A REPORT BACK.

BUT I PRETTY MUCH ALREADY KNOW THE HOT SPOTS ON THE

EAST SIDE.

I KNOW YBOR HAS -- MOST OF THE YBORS ARE INCIDENTAL

AFTER THE BARS LET OUT.

I THINK YBOR ALREADY HAS CAMERAS.

10:48:38 >>LYNN HURTAK:
MR. MASSEY.

10:48:40 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
PERHAPS MISS TRAVIS HAS MORE

INFORMATION.

I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN ONGOING CONVERSATIONS IN YBOR

WITH THE CAC AND TPD OF HOW TO DEAL WITH SAFETY ISSUES

IN THAT AREA.

THERE MAY BE A SIMILAR EXERCISING GOING ON IN EAST

TAMPA, BUT THAT CONVERSATION, I KNOW, HAS AT LEAST

BEGUN IN YBOR AND THEY ARE UNDERTAKING.

10:49:02 >>BILL CARLSON:
I ATTENDED A COUPLE OF THOSE MEETINGS

WITH THE FORMER POLICE CHIEF AND OTHERS -- INTERIM

POLICE CHIEF AND CHIEF OF STAFF, BUT STILL FRUSTRATION

IN THE COMMUNITY AND STILL SHOOTINGS HAPPENING AND I

KNOW A SENSE OF URGENCY IN THE COMMUNITY.

EVERYBODY IS WORKING HARD TO GET IT DONE.

I GUESS MY -- THE THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO.

AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A SEPARATE MOTION IF I DON'T

HAVE TO.

BUT IF WE CAN SOMEHOW INCLUDE YBOR AND GET AN UPDATE.

BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THINGS ON THE AGENDA AND

THEY NEVER HAPPEN.

BOARD MEMBER GUDES, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE REQUEST

AN UPDATE 30 OR 60 DAYS FROM NOW.

10:49:38 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT

I KNOW EAST TAMPA HAS AN ISSUE NOW.

30 TO 60 DAYS IS TOO LONG FOR EAST TAMPA.

MAYBE YBOR.

I THINK MAYBE -- MAYBE SUGGEST YOU HAVE THE YBOR MOTION

SECOND AND THE EAST TAMPA NEEDS TO BE NOW.

WE HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES.

WE NEED CAMERAS IN THOSE AREAS AND GET IT UP NOW.

10:50:01 >>BILL CARLSON:
MY POINT IS NOT TO MAKE IT LAST LONGER

BUT TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING HAPPENS WITHIN TO 30 TO 60

DAYS.

WE SEEN THAT AS DISCUSSED EARLIER WITH HOUSING.

TWO YEARS LATER AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING.

I NEED TO MAKE SURE IT MOVES FORWARD.

10:50:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I WILL AMEND IT THAT RECOMMENDATIONS

COME BACK WITHIN 30 TO 60 DAYS OF ACTION TO THOSE

ISSUES THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

10:50:25 >>LYNN HURTAK:
IS THERE A SECOND.

A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN GUDES AND SECOND BY COUNCILMAN

MIRANDA.

ALL IN FAVOR.

ANY OPPOSED?

10:50:36 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MR. MCCRAY, I NEED FOR YOU TO START

WORKING ON IT NOW, THOSE ISSUES WITH THE EAST SIDE WITH

THE FOUR OR FIVE HOT SPOTS.

10:50:43 >> YES.

I AM COMMITTED TO SPEAKING WITH MAJOR JOHNSON AS SOON

AS I GET BACK IN THE OFFICE.

10:50:52 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I HAVE ONE MORE MOTION IN REFERENCE.

WE JUST TALKED OF DEVELOPMENT.

I KNOW BACK -- LAST YEAR I MADE THAT MOTION ABOUT

PREDEVELOPMENT.

I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON.

AND I WENT WANT -- LOOKED BACK AT THE MOTION AND WHAT

WE FORGET -- AS CARLSON SAID, I NEGATED TO PUT THE DATE

TO COME BACK.

NOW I AM ASKING NOW THAT MOTION THAT WAS MADE IN

REFERENCE TO THE STAFF FOR AN RFP TO OBTAIN A

CONSULTANT ARE PREDEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS WITH THE

EAST TAMPA CRA TO ASSIST WITH FUNDING FOR PROPERTIES IN

EAST TAMPA FOR BUILDINGS THAT ARE COMING DOWN AND

PROPERTY OWNERS IN NEED OF REPAIR AND I WANT THAT

BROUGHT BACK -- WILL JULY 14 BE ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU?

10:51:44 >> YOU WANT US TO HAVE A RFP OR DEVELOP THE PROGRAM?

GUDES I THINK YOU WILL HAVE TO REQUEST AN RFP -- FOR A

CONSULTANT TO DEVELOPMENT THE PROGRAM.

10:51:53 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
THE PROGRAM HAS -- THE FRAMEWORK OF

THE PROGRAM HAS ALREADY BEEN DEVELOPED SOMEWHAT.

10:51:57 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
OKAY.

10:51:59 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
IF YOU WERE MAKING THE MOTION TO DO

THE RFP, WE CAN REPORT BACK WRITING THE RFP AND ISSUING

THAT, BUT THAT WILL SLOW US DOWN -- WE ALREADY HAVE A

FRAMEWORK THAT MISS ALISON HEWITT STARTED TO WRITE ON

THAT PROGRAM.

SHE SENT THAT TO US.

THE PREDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND TALKED WITH HER

SUBCOMMITTEE ABOUT IT.

IF I AM THINKING THIS IS THE SAME PROGRAM, THE SAME

PREDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, SHE ALREADY MET WITH HER

SUBCOMMITTEE ON IT.

SHE HAS PROVIDED IT TO CEDRIC AND I FOR FEEDBACK.

WE ADDRESSED IF AT THE LAST CAC MEETING WE WOULD REVIEW

THE FRAMEWORK OF THE PROGRAM AND THE APPLICATION AND

HAVE COMMENTS BACK WITH THE CAC AT THE NEXT CAC

MEETING.

10:52:40 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I AM NOT AWARE OF THAT.

SO -- IN THAT CASE, WHAT TIME DO YOU THINK YOU CAN

BRING THAT BACK TO DISCUSS THAT?

10:52:47 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
WE INTENDS TO TALK AT THE NEXT CAC

MEETING -- I BELIEVE IT IS JUNE 7.

WE WERE --

10:52:54 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
JUNE 9.

10:52:56 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
JUNE 9, THANK YOU.

TALK OF THE PROGRAM WITH THE CAC.

GET THEIR ENDORSEMENT AND COMMENTS.

ONCE THAT IS PACKAGED WITH THE CAC COMMENTS, WE WILL

BRING IT BACK TO YOU IF NOT FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH THE

CAC.

A FRAMEWORK ALREADY PRESENTED TO A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT

HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO STAFF.

SO I DON'T -- GUDES SOUR SAYING JUNE 9 YOU CAN BRING

THAT BACK AND ADDRESS THAT.

10:53:26 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
NOT THE CRA MEETING, THE CA C.

IT HAS TO GO TO THE CAC FOR COMMENTS.

I CAN PROVIDE YOU FOR THE UPDATE OF THE COMMENTS AT THE

CAC --

10:53:36 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I HAVE YOU UNTIL JULY 14.

10:53:41 >>LYNN HURTAK:
21ST IS THE CRA NICK ANYTHING I THINK

WE SHOULD BE --

10:53:44 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
I THINK WE SHOULD BE FINISHED WITH AT

THAT POINT.

10:53:51 >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN I ADD AN AMENDMENT?

IF I CAN AMEND -- YES, WE WOULD LOVE AN UPDATE AT THE

NEXT MEETING.

10:53:58 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
UPDATE AT THE NEXT MEETING AND

SHOOTING FOR THE JULY CRA MEETING FOR APPROVAL AT THE

JULY MEETING.

10:54:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
SECOND THE AMENDMENT.

10:54:09 >>LYNN HURTAK:
MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN GUDES.

I DIDN'T CATCH THE SECOND.

SECOND IS COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

ALL IN FAVOR.

ANY OPPOSED?

OKAY.

MOTION CARRIES.

10:54:28 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT WAS THE END.

OKAY.

GREAT.

10:54:33 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
BEFORE WE MOVE TO ACTION ITEMS.

CAN I GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON KID MASON PROJECT THAT

COUNCILMAN GUDES WAS TALKING ABOUT.

THE PROJECT IS ALMOST THROUGH PERMITTING.

WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE THE BIDS ISSUED IN JUNE AND THE

EXPECTED CONSTRUCTION COMPLETE DATE IS EARLY TO MID

2023.

10:54:55 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THANK YOU.

COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK -- BOARD MEMBER HURTAK.

SWITCHING HATS.

UNDER REQUIRED APPROVALS, YOU HAVE THE CHANNEL DISTRICT

ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS.

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE FIVE ACTIONS TO CONSIDER AND OUR

CITY CLERK WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

THANK YOU.

10:55:34 >> GOOD MORNING, CRA MEMBERS, SHIRLEY FOXX-KNOWLES,

CITY CLERK.

WE HAVE FIVE APPLICANTS, AND I WANT TO NOTE THEY HAVE

TWO MINUTES TO MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION.

THEY INCLUDE BRENT HILL, MICHAEL LEEDS, ANDY SCAGLIONE,

JOE VALDELEZ, AND MARK FARRELL.

ALSO I WANTED TO NOTE THAT AFTER YOU VOTE, I WILL

ANNOUNCE THE NAMES OF THE PERSONS WHO VOTED AND THEIR

VOTES.

WE WILL START OFF WITH MR. BRENT HILL.

10:56:19 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I JUST HAVE A QUESTION OF MR.

CARLSON --

10:56:21 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
MR. CARLSON UNFORTUNATELY -- WHAT IS

BEING PROPOSED, MR. CARLSON, A BALLOT HANDED OUT FOR

THE MEMBERS PRESENT.

THEY WILL MARK THE BALLOT.

SHIRLEY FOXX-KNOWLES WILL READ THE CRA MEMBER AND WHO

THEY VOTED FOR.

UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE -- WE WILL HAVE TO ASK YOU TO

VERBALIZE WHO YOUR SELECTION IS.

THAT IS HOW WE WILL HAVE TO DO THE SELECTION.

AND THEN THE CLERK WILL TABULATE THE VOTES AFTER YOU

ANNOUNCE YOUR VOTE.

AND THEN WE WILL DETERMINE WHO --

10:56:57 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
YOU CAN ANNOUNCE IT YOURSELF IF YOU

PREFER.

WE CAN ALL DO IT THAT WAY.

10:57:01 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.

10:57:03 >>BILL CARLSON:
MICHELLE ALSO E-MAILED ME THE BALLOT.

BETTER TO HAVE SOME OF KIND OF RECORD OR DO IT

VERBALLY.

10:57:09 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
EITHER WAY WORKS.

IT HAS TO BE ANNOUNCED WHO EACH MEMBER HAS VOTED FOR TO

MEET SUNSHINE.

OKAY.

10:57:17 >>BILL CARLSON:
THANK YOU.

10:57:19 >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

10:57:21 >> I AM BRENT HILL.

HAPPY TO BE HERE IN PERSON TO KIND OF GO OVER THIS.

I AM EXCITED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO GO OVER HOW I ENDED UP HERE

BECAUSE I AM A LITTLE YOUNGER -- YOUNGEST APPLICANT

HERE WHY I AM QUALIFIED AND BEING AN ASSET TO THE CRA

BOARD.

I GRADUATED INDIANA UNIVERSITY IN 2015.

MOVED RIGHT INTO THE FINANCIAL SPACE.

LAUNCHED A FINANCIAL ADVISING FIRM.

GREW THAT PRETTY SUCCESSFULLY OVER TWO YEARS AND MONEY

IS GREAT, BUT UNLESS YOU ARE HAVING AN IMPACT, NOT ALL

IT IS PUT UP TO BE.

AT THAT POINT IN TIME SOLD THAT PRACTICE AND LAUNCHED

TWO SOFTWARE COMPANIES.

CREATING AN IMPACT IN THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS.

ONE IN CORPORATE WELLNESS AND OTHER HELPING GYMS AND

ATHLETES DRAW THEIR ONLINE COMMUNITY.

I AM ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY AND WE GREW THAT TO A GLOBAL

SCALE.

2020 FROM THAT SUCCESS, ABLE TO ASSESS WHERE I TRAVELED

THROUGH THE SOFTWARE SALES AND ALL THIS GOOD STUFF AND

FOUND OUT THAT TAMPA IS KIND OF MY HOME.

I LOVE TAMPA.

SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

SOMETHING OF THE ENERGY, THE GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY.

SO I MOVED DOWN.

MOVED TO HYDE PARK AND I WANTED TO FIND WHERE TO PLANT

MY ROOTS.

CHANNELSIDE SPOKE TO ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE VIBE AND YOU COULD FEEL IT IS ON

THE NEXT UP AND COMING LEVEL.

AT THAT POINT FOUND A BUILDING THAT WAS REALLY PERFECT.

ELDER BUILDING 114 SOUTH 12TH STREET.

I AM SURE SOME OF YOU ARE AWARE OF IT.

HAD ITS CHALLENGES.

NOT IS NECESSARILY A LAND USE GUY AND LEARNED A LOT AND

WANT TO SHAPE THE CULTURE AND COMMUNITY IN THE

CHANNELSIDE AREA.

WHY I FEEL I AM QUALIFIED.

I WAS ABLE TO CHECK ALL THE BOXES ON THE APPLICATION.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY I THINK MY YOUTH, MY ENERGY,

MY EXPERIENCE OF BOTH FINANCE AND TECHNOLOGY,

ESPECIALLY AS WE GROW AND ADAPT TO THE FASTEST GROWING

CITY IN THE COUNTRY NOW CAN BRING A LOT OF BENEFIT.

AS A BUSINESS OWNER, GOING THROUGH THE PACES, AS A LOT

OF YOU KNOW, BRINGING THAT FORTH TO ANYBODY WHO IS

TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING IN THE CHANNELSIDE

DISTRICT.

I THINK I CAN CREATE A LOT OF BENEFIT.

THANK YOU.

10:59:32 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

10:59:38 >> THE NEXT CANDIDATE IS MR. MICHAEL LEEDS.

MOVING ON TO MR. ANDY SCAGLIONE.

11:00:03 >> GOOD MORNING.

ANDY JOE SCAGLIONE, BORN IN TAMPA.

MY MOM'S SIDE FROM WEST TAMPA.

MY DAD'S SIDE IS FROM YBOR CITY.

I HAVE BEEN HERE ALL MY LIFE, JUNE 17, 1983, 39 --

GOING ON 39 YEARS AGO, FIRST COMMERCIAL PROPERTY I

BOUGHT WAS ON CHANNELSIDE DRIVE.

BEEN VERY INVOLVED IN CHANNELSIDE THROUGHOUT ALL THE

YEARS.

I LOVED CHANNELSIDE.

VERY SPECIAL TO ME.

I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE RENAMING WHEN IT USED TO BE

CALLED 13TH STREET.

NOW CALL CHANNELSIDE.

COUNCILMAN MIRANDA WILL TELL YOU, THERE WAS MORE RATS

THAN PEOPLE AT THE TIME, OKAY.

OLD DILAPIDATED WAREHOUSES.

WHERE WE ARE AT TODAY IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.

THEREFORE I HAVE A LOT OF INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE THAT

I THINK CAN BE VERY, VERY HELPFUL TO CHANNELSIDE.

MY COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BACKGROUND WILL BE VALUABLE

BECAUSE WE HAVE HIGHEST AND BEST USE ISSUES COMING UP

WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE PORT AND THE

LORDEN PROPERTY.

I SEE CURRENTLY THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE BEING

DISCUSSED THERE.

I AM EXCITED REGARDING THE -- THE NEW -- THE AQUARIUM.

OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM.

THEY HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

THERE.

AND TRYING TO OPEN UP THE -- AROUND TERMINAL 2, THE

RIVER WALK.

I AM EXCITED BY THEA, THE PARTNERSHIP THERE WE HAVE.

I AM EXCITED BY OUR NEW CRA DIRECTOR JEFF BURTON.

ALL ABOUT EXECUTION AS COUNCILMAN GUDES SAYS.

IT IS ABOUT WINS.

EXECUTION.

GETTING RESULTS.

EVERYTHING ELSE DOESN'T MATTER.

I KNOW THAT YOU ALL KNOW THAT I TAKE MY COMMITMENTS

VERY SERIOUS.

YOU KNOW OF MY WORK ETHIC.

AND I COME PREPARED.

I DO MY HOMEWORK.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, I DO THE RIGHT THING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR CONFIDENCE IN ME.

11:02:16 >>CLERK:
THANK YOU.

MR. JOE VALDELEZ.

11:02:28 >> GOOD MORNING, JOE VALDELEZ, CURRENT CAC

MEMBER, UP FOR MY SECOND TERM AND PRESIDENT OF THE

501-C-3 IN THE CHANNEL DISTRICT RECOGNIZED BY THE CITY

OF TAMPA.

IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN IN THE SEAT AS

A CAC MEMBER, WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT.

THAT INCLUDES BOTH THE MADISON STREET PARK DEVELOPMENT,

CHANNELSIDE DRIVE ROAD IMPROVEMENT, THE PORTLAND

ACQUISITION FOR HOPEFULLY FEATURE GREEN SPACE.

UPDATING THE SAP AND CRP.

FUTURE TPD CAMERAS BEING INSTALLED APPROXIMATELY 16 OF

THOSE.

WE ARE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THAT.

AND ALSO FUNDING FOR THE WASHINGTON STREET PARK REHAB

THANK YOU.

THE NEXT CANDIDATE MR. MARK FARRELL.

11:04:02 >> GOOD MORNING, MARK FARRELL, 210 SOUTH 12TH STREET.

2015, I PURCHASED A 1923 WAREHOUSE BY THE RAILROAD.

ON YOUR POINT, COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, I PUT 10 KILOWATTS

OF SOLAR ON THE ROOF AND I AM OFF THE GRID AT THE SAME

TIME.

I AM REGISTERED CIVIL ENGINEER.

I OPERATED, OWNED AND OPERATED A CIVIL ENGINEERING FIRM

FOR 25 YEARS AND JUST RETIRED FROM THAT.

I AM A FORMER PHYSICIAN.

I WAS THE ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SOUTHWEST

FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.

ANDS OF THE NORTHDALE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT WHEN I LIFT

IN NORTH DALE.

I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE ON

THIS BOARD, AND IT IS A GREAT BOARD.

WHO UNDERSTANDS THE COMPLEXITIES OF DESIGNING

COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL AREAS, MEETING CODE, GREEN

SPACES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT IS WHAT MY BUSINESS HAS DONE FOR 25 YEARS.

I HAVE BEEN VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

I BOUGHT INTO THIS AREA BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE

CHANNELSIDE AREA.

IT IS GROWING.

IT HAS GOT GREAT ARCHITECTURE.

THAT IS WHY I TOOK THIS BUILDING AND DIDN'T KNOCK IT

DOWN.

I RESTORED IT.

IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

IT LOOKS LIKE 1923 AND UPDATED.

I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF YOUR TIME.

I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THIS AND ADVISING THIS

BOARD ON CHANNELSIDE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

11:05:38 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

11:05:43 >> CRA BOARD, YOU WILL VOTE FOR THREE APPLICANTS AND I

WILL TALLY THE VOTE.

11:06:22 >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY, SO WE WILL MOVE ON AND COME BACK

WHEN MISS FOXX-KNOWLES IS FINISHED TALLYING.

11:06:32 >>BILL CARLSON:
MADAM CHAIR, SHOULD I TELL MINE

VERBALLY.

11:06:36 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
YOU CAN RIGHT NOW AND SHIRLEY CAN ADD

THAT TO THE TALLY.

SHE IS GOING TO HAVE TO ANNOUNCE EACH MEMBER AND WHO

YOU ALL VOTED FOR BEFORE SHE ANNOUNCES THE WHO THE TOP

THREE SELECTIONS ARE.

11:06:50 >>LYNN HURTAK:
SHOULD WE WAIT UNTIL SHE ANNOUNCES AND

THEN WE ANNOUNCE THEN.

11:06:56 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
THAT FEELS MORE APPROPRIATE SO WE CAN

ALL DO IT TOGETHER.

WE WILL WAIT UNTIL SHE FINISHED THE TALLY AND HAVE YOU

ADD YOUR VOTE BEFORE SHE GOES THROUGH EVEN ONE OF THE

MEMBERS OF THE BALLOTS, COUNCILMAN CARLSON, AND ADD

YOUR VOTE IN TO THE TALLY AS WELL.

11:07:19 >> HELLO, AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT ON YOUR AGENDA, OFF RESOLUTION BEFORE

YOU FOR FACADE GRANT NOT TO EXCEED $50,000.

THIS IS FOR A HISTORIC BUILDING IN WEST TAMPA.

2301 NORTH ALBANY AVENUE.

IMPROVING THE SUBORDINATION OF THE NOTICE OF THE FACADE

GRANT AGREEMENT AND ALL ITS COVENANTS.

THIS IS A CIGAR FACTORY AND OVER $1 MILLION OF WINDOW

REPLACEMENT SO THE $50,000 GRANT IS BEFORE YOU FOR

CONSIDERATION.

11:07:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOVE THE RESOLUTION --

11:07:54 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
MOVE YOU MOVE THE RESOLUTION, I

HANDED OUT A SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION.

THE ONLY CHANGE IS THE CHAIR'S NAME.

MR. CITRO WAS THE CHAIR OF THE CRA BOARD AND NOW MISS

HURTAK IS.

11:08:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SUBSTITUTE THAT TO REFLECT THE

CHAIRPERSON'S NAME.

11:08:13 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
IF I MAY FOR THE RECORD, BRIEFLY

TELL THE PUBLIC WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND HOW IT IS DONE AND

MAKE SURE THAT IT IS DONE CORRECTLY.

11:08:20 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
SURE.

WHEN YOU HAVE A FACADE IMPROVEMENT GRANT, WHAT WE ARE

LOOK FOR ARE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FRONT FACING OF THE

BUILDING.

IN THIS CASE, THIS IS A CIGAR FACTORY THAT THE OWNER IS

INVESTING $2.3 MILLION IN REHABBING THE BUILDING.

THIS BUILDING HAS THREE STREET FACADES.

FACES ON ALL THREE SIDES OF THE STREET.

AND REPLACING THE WINDOWS ON ALL FLOORS OF THE

BUILDING.

ANY TIME OFF PROPERTY OWNER TO REINVEST, THE CRA CAN

COME ALONGSIDE THEM AND SUPPLEMENT SOME OF THAT

EXPENSE.

11:08:57 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:

NUMBER 5 IS EAST TAMPA CRA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022,

REPROGRAMMING SOME DOLLARS FOR A TRAFFIC VARIABLE

MESSAGE BOARD.

THESE MOVABLE MESSAGE BOARDS THAT YOU SEE DOT USING

THAT HAVE THREE OR FOUR LINES.

EAST TAMPA WANTED TO GET THE WORD OUT ON CERTAIN

ACTIVITIES OF THEIR CAC MEETING AND NOT HAVE TO BORROW

IT FROM ANOTHER AGENCY.

THIS IS JUST REPROGRAMMING SOME FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO

PURCHASE TWO THAT WILL RESIDE IN EAST TAMPA.

11:10:01 >>LYNN HURTAK:
QUESTION FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

11:10:03 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I BELIEVE WE SAW THOSE GOING

THROUGH EAST TAMPA AND I WAS VERY APPRECIATIVE -- THERE

THEY ARE RIGHT THERE.

HOW THAT WAS BROUGHT ON.

NOBODY CANNOT SAY THAT IT IS NOT ADVERTISED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

A PROGRAMMING CHANGE FOR UNION STATION.

WE HEARD COUNCIL LOUD -- SORRY, CRA BOARD LOUD AND

CLEAR AND IN YOUR COUNCIL MEETINGS THAT YOU WANTED TO

EXPEDITE THE REHABILITATION OF THE TAMPA UNION STATION.

IF YOU WERE TO DO THAT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO IT WITH

CRA FUNDS WHILE WE APPLY FOR GRANTS TO HELP AUGMENT THE

COST OF THAT.

SO THE CAC VOTED TO REPROGRAM $1.5 MILLION FOR THE

REHABILITATION OF UNION STATION.

THAT WILL COME BACK TO YOU WITH AN AGREEMENT THAT WILL

SAY IF WE RECEIVE ANY FUNDING OR GRANT FUNDING, WE WILL

REIMBURSE THE CRA FOR THOSE EXPENSES AND THIS WILL

ALLOW US TO ACCELERATE THE RENOVATIONS OF THE BUILDING.

11:11:27 >>LYNN HURTAK:

11:11:46 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
THE NEXT ITEM IS THE EAST TAMPA CRA

CONSTRUCTION FUNDING FOR THE SKILLS CENTER.

AT THE LAST CRA MEETING, THIS COUNCIL -- EXCUSE ME THIS

BOARD VOTED TO SEND THE SKILL CENTER BACK TO THE CAC

FOR THEM TO HAVE ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION.

THERE WERE SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT AT THE CAC

MEETING.

THE CAC VOTED BACK ON APRIL 5 AT A VOTE OF 10-1 TO

SUPPORT THE $500,000 GRANT.

THE DISCUSSION THAT WAS HAD RECENTLY AT THE CAC MEETING

WAS THAT THEIR VOTE REPRESENTED THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE

PROJECT AND THEY WERE BRINGING IT BACK -- NOW WE ARE

BRINGING IT BACK FOR ACTION BY THIS BODY.

11:12:30 >>MORRIS MASSEY:
BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR VOTE, I WANT TO

MAKE IT CLEAR THAT YOU ARE MERELY ENDORSING THE

CONCEPT.

IT IS SUBJECT TO THE NEGOTIATION OF A FUNDING AGREEMENT

THAT SPELLS ALL THE GRANT TERMS, THE CONDITIONS.

SO THAT WILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU ALL BEFORE THE

GRANT IS FORMALIZED AND THE MONEY -- THE GRANT IS

ACTUALLY MADE FOR THE SKILL CENTER.

11:12:49 >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN GUDES.

11:12:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I THINK EVERYBODY IN EAST TAMPA

SUPPORTS THE SKILL CENTER.

LET'S PUT THAT ON THE RECORD.

I DON'T THINK NOBODY DOESN'T SUPPORT IT.

PEOPLE THINK OF THE PROCESS.

GOING FORWARD, I WILL ASK THAT THERE BE A PROCESS.

BECAUSE NOW PEOPLE ARE SEEING THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE ON

THAT EAST TAMPA BOARD WHO UNDERSTANDS DEVELOPMENT AND

ECONOMICS AND THEY ARE LOOKING TO SEE IF THE TAXPAYER

DOLLARS ARE FITTING IN WHERE THEY NEED FITTING IN WHEN

YOU TALK OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS.

I THINK THE SKILL CENTER IS A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH.

I THINK IT WILL BE VALUABLE, I AM HOPING THE FUTURE

WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE HAPPENING WITH THE SKILL

CENTER BEING DEVELOPED, YOU HAVE THE VERY, VERY EASTERN

PORTION OF THAT BUILDING.

AND I THINK THE CRA DOLLARS COULD HAVE BEEN PROBABLY

UTILIZED OR IN THE FUTURE TO HELP WITH WORK FORCE

DEVELOPMENT ON THE SECOND SIDE OF THAT BUILDING.

NOW OFF VIABLE IMPACT AND THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE

THINKING.

THE SKILL CENTER SEEK BASKETBALL AND THEY ARE LOOKING

AT SOCIAL SERVICES AND SOME OF THE MONIES TO BE

UTILIZED TO HELP REDIRECT AND REHAB THE BUILDING.

I THINK THAT WAS NOT DISCUSSED AND PEOPLE ARE

UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY ARE USING THAT $500,000 FOR.

AND THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT IN THERE SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND

NOT USED FOR SOCIAL SERVICE.

AND THAT IS THE KEY FUNCTION THAT PEOPLE ARE UPSET

ABOUT AND UNDERSTAND.

BECAUSE THEY ARE SPECIFIC DOLLARS.

AND I THINK WE WILL COME BACK AND THE BOARD KNOWS WHAT

THE GUIDELINES ARE.

PEOPLE CAN UNDER STAND WHY THE VOTE WAS WHY THE

CONFUSION AND DISCUSSION WAS BEING HAD, THE PROCESS.

I THINK NOW WITH PEOPLE SEEING THAT YOU HAVE FOLKS WHO

ARE TRYING TO MOVE EAST TAMPA, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME

DOWN AND ASKING FOR THE BIG PARTS OF MONEY.

AND MOVING FORWARD.

AND THE SUB ECONOMY.

WHEN THEY COME TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND VET THE PROGRAM

FOR THE NEEDS OF EAST TAMPA.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHAT THEY ARE SAYING NOW.

MOVING FORWARD, I HOPE THAT WE WILL COME UP WITH A

PROCESS FOR APPLICATION THAT CAN GO UP TO THE BOARD AND

PROCESS IN PLACE.

AND NOW KNOW THAT THEY HAVE -- THEY HAVE A PROCESS

HERE.

11:15:14 >> SURE, FOR THE CAC MEETING, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY

CORRECT, THE DISCUSSION THAT TOOK PLACE IS REAFFIRMING

THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE SKILL CENTER, BUT A LOT OF ISSUE

WITH THE PROCESS OF HAVING AN APPLICATION.

WHAT I TOLD THE CAC THAT WE WILL DO IS CREATE SOME KIND

OF FORM THAT WE CAN CAPTURE ALL OF THAT INFORMING, THE

ECONOMIC IMPACT.

EXACTLY WHAT IS BEING USED -- THE FUND ALSO BE USED FOR

A COVER SHEET AND CONSISTENT ACROSS ANY ASK.

ANY ASK.

PEOPLE CAN ASK AS MATCH AS THEY WANT TO.

AND MEET THE GOALS.

AND LEGALLY NOT FUNDED.

AND EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T HAVE A COVER APPLICATION FOR

THIS THE FUND AGREEMENT WILL OUTLINE THE LEGAL

ENVIRONMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AND WE

ARE GOING TO -- I ASSURE THE CAC THAT WE WILL CREATE AN

APPLICATION FORM TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROCESS AND ALL

THE APPLICATION FOR THE CAC TO MAKE SURE THEY SUPPORT A

PROJECT IS CAPTURED IN THAT FORM AND WE ARE WORKING ON

THAT.

11:16:22 >> THAT WILL BE VERY GOOD AND CUT DOWN THE CHATTER TO

SEE WHAT IS GOING ON AND SUPPORT THE SKILL CENTER BUT I

THINK GOING FORWARD, I THINK WE LOOK AT -- AT THAT

MECHANIC.

AND BODY SHOP THAT MAYBE WE CAN CAPTURE TO HELP THEM.

BECAUSE NOW YOU ARE SEEING A REAL ECONOMIC IMPACT FOR

ACTUAL JOBS.

REAL JOBS, PEOPLE CAN MAYBE UTILIZE THAT AS FAR AS THE

WORKFORCE AND A BUSINESS.

SO I WAS HOPING THAT A PARTNERSHIP CONTINUES, BUT

MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN HELP THEM IN THAT WAY SO WE CAN

REALLY HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE THE -- WHEN YOU LOOK

AT THE PHOTO OF IT.

IT WILL BEAUTIFY 22ND STREET.

LET'S CAPTURE IT ALL IN THE FUTURE AND COME BACK WITH A

PLAN AND THE CAC CAN HELP THEM WITH THAT.

11:17:09 >>LYNN HURTAK:
MOTION TO APPROVE BY COUNCILMAN

MANISCALCO.

SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

CORRECTION, CITRO.

11:17:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YES.

11:17:36 >>CLERK:
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

11:17:40 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
NEXT OWN THE AGENDA THE WEST TAMPA

EXTERIOR RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANT

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM.

THIS IS BEING ADMINISTERED BY HOUSING AND COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.

THE WEST TAMPA CAC AND THEIR SUBCOMMITTEES HAVE VETTED

WHETHER THEY WANTED TO INCLUDE RENTAL REHAB TO THIS.

AND TIE THAT SUPPORT THAT WE ARE GOING TO REHAB THESE

BUILDINGS TO AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPONENT AND TOOK

TIME TO WORK THAT OUT.

AND THE PROGRAM THAT ALREADY EXISTED IN WEST TAMPA AND

STAND-ALONE PROGRAM ADMINISTERED BY HOUSING AND

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND A LOT OF CONVERSATION WHEN I

FIRST GOT HERE OF THE OWNER-OCCUPIED REHAB PROGRAM IN

EAST TAMPA AND WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT.

SEPARATE FROM THIS VOTE, THAT RFP IS ISSUED THIS FRIDAY

AND THE DIFFERENCE -- THE RFP ISSUE THIS FRIDAY IS FOR

A THIRD-PARTY ADMINISTRATOR AND THIS PROGRAM IS BEING

ADMINISTERED BY HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND I

CAN ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

11:19:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I AM GLAD THAT THAT RFP IS MOVING

BECAUSE THE TALK OF THE TOWN.

11:19:10 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO DO IT.

11:19:12 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THE BIGGEST ISSUE AND I TALKED ABOUT

THE SAME THING.

YOU HAVE MISS JONES WHO IS 77 YEARS OLD.

SHE IS -- MAYBE SHE HAS A HOUSE THAT IS PAID FOR BUT

HELPING MR. JONES OUT DOWN THE STREET WITH A PLACE

WHERE SHE CAN FIX THAT UP.

BECAUSE DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY.

AND, AGAIN, I TALKED ABOUT THAT IN WEST TAMPA HAS DONE

THAT.

SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS NEED TO BE DUPLICATED AND OTHER

PLACES ARE HAVING THESE KIND OF ISSUES.

HOPEFULLY WILL BRING THAT OVER TO EAST TAMPA TO TALK

ABOUT THAT HOW WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.

THAT OCCUPIED REHAB HAS TO MOVE -- AGAIN, I THINK -- I

KNOW WE WANT TO TRY TO DO IT WITH ACD, BUT I THINK THEY

HAVE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON.

I THINK WE CAN SEE HOW TO WORK THE THIRD PARTY.

AND I KNOW THEY HAVE A LOT GOING ON.

HOPEFULLY IT WILL WORK AND I THINK WITH THE EAST

PORTION, LETTING THEM MOVE, GIVES THEM A FIN AND

LOOKING AT THIS RENTAL AS WELL.

AND I THINK THEY WANT THAT TOO.

MAYBE A CONVERSATION THAT MR. MCCRAY CAN HAVE WITH THEM

TO SEE IF THIS IS ALREADY EXISTING AND MOVE FORWARD

WITH THAT AS WELL.

AND NOW WE ARE GETTING ALL THE WHEELS TURNING.

11:20:29 >>NICOLE TRAVIS:
IN ORDER FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH

THE SAME PROGRAM IN EAST TAMPA.

THAT IS COUNTER TO PUTTING OUT THE RFP AS A THIRD

PARTY.

I THINK TO YOUR POINT, IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR US

TO JUST LOOK IN SIX MONTHS ONCE A PROGRAM IS OUT ON THE

STREETS OR -- SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR ANALYSIS TO SEE HOW

IS IT WORKING.

HOW IS IT FLOWING AND HOW ARE WE CAPTURING THE

INFORMATION.

AND MR. NINO IS THE ONE WORKING HARD WITH THE WEST

TAMPA CAC AND MONTHS IN THE MAKING.

AND VETTED.

AND I WILL LET HIM ADD THINKING.

11:21:02 >> SHE DID A WONDERFUL JOB.

AND THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THE CITY'S HOUSING DIVISION.

WE WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM, BUT THIS WAS CREATED BY

THE CRA SUBCOMMITTEE IN WEST TAMPA FOR MONTHS NOW.

AND THEIR CAC TOOK IT BACK AND FORTH TO THEIR

SUBCOMMITTEE.

AND WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE HOUSING DIVISION

BUT UNIQUE TO WEST TAMPA FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DUPLEXES.

11:21:25 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
AGAIN, THEY CAN'T STILL LOOK AT WHAT

YOU GOT GOING ON AND SEE HOW IT IS WORKING.

SO IDEAS ARE ON THE TABLE.

11:21:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

I WENT OUT TO THE HOME YESTERDAY AND I PROMISED I WOULD

MAKE MENTION TO THAT.
