09:16:28AM >>BILL CARLSON: MADAM CHAIR, IF I COULD -- I WAS STUCK JUST
09:16:31AM TRYING TO GET NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT FOR TEN MINUTES.
09:16:34AM MAYBE YOU EXPERIENCED SAME THING.
09:16:36AM I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT STOPS THE TRAFFIC RIGHT THERE.
09:16:39AM >> GOOD MORNING.
09:16:42AM MY NAME IS MICHAEL RANDOLPH WITH THE WEST TAMPA CDC.
09:16:46AM BY FAR, OF ALL THE ROLES THAT THE CITY COUNCIL PLAY THE CRA
09:16:55AM ROLE IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF ENACTING
09:16:59AM CHANGES.
09:17:00AM LAST YEAR I ATTENDED A MEETING GIVEN BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE
09:17:03AM AND OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES THAT IS LOOKING AT UPDATING THE
09:17:06AM CURRENT CRA.
09:17:07AM THEY MAINTAIN THAT THE CURRENT CRA HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR
09:17:14AM GENTRIFICATION.
09:17:17AM BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.
09:17:19AM WHEN THEY SAY MINORITIES, THEY LOOK AT THE -- THEY LOOK AT
09:17:23AM ABSOLUTE NUMBER OF MINORITIES --
09:17:27AM [ NAUDIBLE]
09:17:27AM -- WHEN WE LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS AND THEY ALSO LOOKED AT THE
09:17:30AM NUMBERS, THEY FOUND THAT WHEN THEY LOOK AT ANY NORTH, THE
09:17:33AM MINORITIES THAT WERE SPENDING THE MOST WERE WHITE FEMALES.
09:17:36AM WHEN THEY LOOK AT AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND OTHER HISPANICS,
09:17:41AM THOSE GROUPS WERE NOT DOING GOOD.
09:17:43AM THAT IS WHY THEY ARE GOING TO RELOOK AT THE CRA.
09:17:45AM HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR AND MAKE AMENDMENTS TO THAT.
09:17:48AM ALSO LAST YEAR, THE CITY OF TAMPA GAVE A MEETING RELATED TO
09:17:53AM THE UPDATE OF THE FUTURE OF CRAS.
09:17:57AM ONE OF THE THINGS THEY ACKNOWLEDGED DURING THE MEETING IS
09:18:00AM THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CRA AND
09:18:04AM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
09:18:06AM WE ENJOY A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WEST TAMPA CAC,
09:18:12AM BECAUSE OF OUR ABILITY TO LEVERAGE FUNDS.
09:18:15AM WE ALSO ENJOY WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CRA MANAGER CAC
09:18:23AM WHO IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THIS EXPERTISE.
09:18:26AM NOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS COME OUT OF THE CRA THAT IS
09:18:31AM VERY IMPORTANT IS THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AGREEMENT.
09:18:33AM THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AGREEMENT WHICH WAS REACHED BY THE
09:18:39AM CITY AND THE WEST TAMPA CDC GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE CITY
09:18:44AM CAN TO DO INCREASE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS IN THE CITY.
09:18:49AM FOR EXAMPLE, THE AGREEMENT WITH THE WEST TAMPA CAC DECREASES
09:18:57AM GENTRIFICATION AND INCREASES ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR
09:19:01AM PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY.
09:19:02AM I AM HOPING THAT WHEN YOU BEGIN TO LOOK AT THE COMMUNITY
09:19:06AM BENEFIT AGREEMENT, THAT YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION AND YOU
09:19:10AM CONSIDER GENTRIFICATION AS A POTENTIAL PURPOSE FOR THE CAC.
09:19:18AM MAKE IT INTENTIONAL.
09:19:19AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:19:20AM AGAIN, THIS IS THE NEW YEAR, A NEW ATTITUDE AND A NEW WAY OF
09:19:26AM HOOKING AT THINGS AT THE CAC AND THE COMMUNITY OF WEST TAMPA,
09:19:29AM WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR JOB AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITH YOU.
09:19:32AM THANK YOU.
09:19:32AM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.

09:26:23AM SO WITH THAT, WE WILL ALSO ASK IN AUGUST TO GIVE AN UPDATE
09:26:28AM WITH RESPECT TO THE YBOR ARTS AND FUNDING AN ART FUND.
09:26:34AM THIS WAS DONE MORE OR LESS THIS AUGUST.
09:26:37AM COUNCILMAN CARLSON WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PAY US A VISIT AT ONE
09:26:40AM OF OUR BOARD MEETINGS AND GAVE US A LITTLE BIT OF AN
09:26:43AM EXPLANATION WHAT IT IS THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN IN
09:26:49AM YBOR CITY BY WAY OF THE ARTS.
09:26:55AM SEE IF I CAN GET THIS POWERPOINT HERE.
09:26:57AM THAT MOTION WAS MADE ON AUGUST 18 AT 9 A.M.
09:27:01AM SO WHAT WE THOUGHT WE WOULD DO IS GIVE THE -- THE CAC BOARD
09:27:09AM AN IDEA WHAT WE DO PRESENTLY BY WAY OF ACTIVITIES WITH THE
09:27:13AM ARTS AND CULTURE IN YBOR CITY.
09:27:17AM THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.
09:27:19AM I THINK AFTER ME HAVING A PERSONAL MEETING WITH MR. CARLSON
09:27:24AM AT MY HOUSE, WHICH I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED FOR TWO HOURS PLUS.
09:27:28AM AND THEN ATTENDING ONE OF HIS CAFE CON TAMPA MEETINGS -- I
09:27:35AM THINK THAT IS WHAT IT WAS AT THE HYATT HOTEL.

09:30:38AM IN 2018 AND 2019.
09:30:39AM AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE HAD THE HEART OF YBOR COMMUNITY
09:30:46AM ART CONTEST THAT WE RECENTLY DID FOR THE SECOND YEAR.

09:32:28AM A LITTLE PIECE OF THAT.
09:32:29AM JUST A WONDERFUL THING AND THAT HAS JUST RECENTLY STARTED AS
09:32:33AM WELL.
09:32:33AM NOW WITH ALL THAT SAID, PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, I CAN SAY
09:32:41AM A LOT OF THAT DEALS A LOT MORE WITH CULTURE THAN IT DOES
09:32:45AM WITH ART.
09:32:45AM I WILL SAY THAT WHEN DEVELOPING OUR STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE
09:32:50AM YBOR CITY CRA AND CAC, ONE OF THE COMMITTEES THAT WE HAD THE
09:32:58AM COMMUNITY PRESERVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE AS PART
09:33:01AM OF THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN AND OUR STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE YBOR
09:33:06AM CRA AND CAC, ONE OF THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES AND PRIORITIES --
09:33:11AM BEFORE THE AUGUST 8 MOTION -- TO CREATE AND ACCOMPLISH A
09:33:15AM CULTURAL ART STRATEGY AND AWAY I SEE IT IS JUST THE INITIAL
09:33:21AM STEPS.
09:33:21AM WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE NOTHING MORE THAN CULTURAL ARTS IN YBOR
09:33:29AM CITY.
09:33:29AM I THINK I SPEAK FOR THE BOARD WHEN I SAY THAT.
09:33:31AM YBOR HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL AS AN ARTS DISTRICT.
09:33:36AM AND SPEAKING FOR THE YBOR CAC WE ARE 100% COMMITTED TO
09:33:42AM HAVING AN ARTS DISTRICT THERE.
09:33:43AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:33:45AM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
09:33:48AM BOARD MEMBER CARLSON.
09:33:50AM >>BILL CARLSON: YEAH, THANK YOU.
09:33:51AM THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR -- THE HISTORIC PERSPECTIVE THAT
09:33:55AM YOU BRING TO THIS AND YOUR FAMILY HAD A LONG HISTORY WITH
09:34:00AM YBOR AND THE CONSENSUS YOU BUILT IN THE CAC.
09:34:05AM HE MENTIONED US MEETING.
09:34:09AM AN I HAD THE CHEAPEST HOUSE ON MY STREET.
09:34:13AM WHEN PEOPLE WALK OUT OF MY DOOR, THEY SAY, WOW, YOU LIVE IN
09:34:17AM A FANTASTIC NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE HIS HOUSE IS ACROSS THE
09:34:20AM STREET AND A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE HE BOUGHT A LONG TIME AGO AT A
09:34:22AM GREAT PRICE.
09:34:24AM ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN TAMPA.
09:34:26AM >> IS THIS PUBLIC RECORD.
09:34:27AM >>BILL CARLSON: AND A GREAT ART COLLECTION INSIDE TOO.
09:34:30AM ANYWAY, YOU KNOW, DARYL SHAW AND HIS PARTNERS ARE INVESTING
09:34:35AM HEAVILY IN THE ARTS.
09:34:36AM THEY HAVE TAKEN THE CREST BUILDING AND PUTTING FLORIDA
09:34:41AM GRAPHIC MUSEUM IN THE BOTTOM AND TEMPEST AND OTHER ART
09:34:44AM GALLERIES ARE MOVING UPSTAIRS AND THE HCC IS THERE WITH HUGE
09:34:49AM INVESTMENT IN THE ARTS.
09:34:49AM THE GROUP YOU MENTIONED I PUT TOGETHER WHICH MY COMPANY IS
09:34:53AM HELPING TO FUND.
09:34:53AM WE DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY.
09:34:55AM WE ARE PAYING TO FUND IT DESPITE SOME MESSAGE TESTING THAT
09:34:59AM SOME PEOPLE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.
09:35:00AM THE IDEA IS TO ACTIVATE YBOR OF THE ARTS.
09:35:08AM AND IN THE '70s AND '80s, SOME WENT TO ST. PETE AND DARYL IS
09:35:18AM HELPING WITH BIG MONEY TO BRING THEM BACK AND WILL TAKE
09:35:21AM SEVERAL CITY BLOCKS AND CONVERT IT TO THE ARTS AND CONVERT
09:35:26AM IT TO THE ARTS AND LOOKING INPUT AND DARYL CAN'T DO IT BY
09:35:30AM HIMSELF AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
09:35:31AM JUST LIKE JEFF VINICK CAN'T DO EVERYTHING AROUND DOWNTOWN
09:35:37AM WITH HIS MONEY.
09:35:37AM WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SUPPLEMENT.
09:35:40AM THAT IS MY QUESTION THERE.
09:35:41AM A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH FORESIGHT, RICHARD GONZMART, YOU AND
09:35:46AM TRYING TO ADD TO IT.
09:35:47AM A CONVERSATION I BROUGHT IN PETER KAYAMA WHO WROTE THE BOOK,
09:35:53AM "FOR THE LOVE OF CITIES."
09:35:55AM MY COMPANY PAID FOR THE EVENT AND BOOKS FOR EVERYONE AND 30
09:35:59AM YBOR LEADERS TO TALK OF THE ARTS AND HOW TO ACTIVATE IT.
09:36:03AM MY COMPANY DOESN'T BENEFIT THAT WE ARE IN YBOR, AND OUR
09:36:07AM EMPLOYEES LIKE IT.
09:36:08AM BUT I THINK THERE IS AN EXCITEMENT OF BUILDING -- REBUILDING
09:36:11AM THE SOFTWARE AND TAKING -- A CREATION OF YBOR THAT IS
09:36:20AM RESPECTFUL OF THE PAST AND HONORS THE PAST AND WHAT WE CAN
09:36:23AM BE.
09:36:23AM I AM NEW TO YBOR, SO I AM NOT GOING TO PRETEND TO KNOW A LOT
09:36:27AM -- VERY MANY OF THE ANSWERS, BUT I AM GLAD TO HAVE PEOPLE
09:36:29AM LIKE STEVE AS ADVISORS ON THAT AND HOPEFULLY CREATE SOME
09:36:33AM FANTASTIC IDEAS.
09:36:34AM I WANT TO ASK YOU A DIFFERENT IDEA AND SORRY TO PUT YOU ON
09:36:38AM THE SPOT.
09:36:39AM BUT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY.
09:36:42AM THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP IS APPARENTLY HAVING DISCUSSION OF
09:36:45AM TAKING OVER YBOR AREA.
09:36:48AM DOES THE YCDC KNOW ABOUT THAT?
09:36:55AM WHO WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THIS.
09:36:57AM I GOT CALLS FROM PEOPLE IN DOWNTOWN YBOR WHO ARE CONCERNED.
09:37:00AM SOMETHING THAT THEY NEED THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING OFFERED
09:37:02AM RIGHT NOW?
09:37:03AM AND I WONDER IF WE CAN SOMEHOW ADDRESS THAT THROUGH THE CRA.
09:37:06AM >> WELL, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THERE WAS A MEETING THAT
09:37:10AM TOOK PLACE WITH SOME REPRESENTATIVES WITH THE TAMPA DOWNTOWN
09:37:15AM PARTNERSHIP AND WITH -- DARYL SHAW WAS PRESENT AND A FEW
09:37:18AM OTHER FOLKS WERE PRESENT.
09:37:19AM IT WAS STRICTLY A INFORMATION-TYPE MEETING.
09:37:24AM OUR REPRESENTATIVE COURTNEY ORR WAS ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY 100%
09:37:34AM UNAWARE OF IT.
09:37:35AM WE ASKED FOR THIS MEETING TO TAKE PLACE BECAUSE OF THAT.
09:37:38AM WE DID HAVE THAT MEETING.
09:37:39AM I LEFT THAT MEETING THINKING IT IS SOMETHING WORTH FOLLOWING
09:37:42AM UP ON AND PURSUING.
09:37:43AM WE MADE ABSOLUTELY NO COMMITMENT WHATSOEVER AS TO SUPPORT IT
09:37:47AM OR NOT SUPPORT IT, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ONE THAT WAS DISCUSSED
09:37:51AM WITH OUR ENTIRE BOARD SO WE LEFT THAT MEETING WITH THE IDEA
09:37:56AM THAT IT WAS NEXT WITH THE BOARD AND WHAT WOULD TRANSPIRE
09:38:03AM WITH THAT MEETING.
09:38:03AM MORE THAN THAT WAS REALLY -- THERE WAS -- AND I DON'T KNOW
09:38:07AM HOW PERSONALLY IT WAS RELAYED TO LA GA AT THE TIME AT THAT
09:38:11AM AND FEATURED IN LA GACETA AND NUMBERS THROWN AROUND THERE
09:38:17AM THAT I WAS NOT TOLD AT THAT MEETING OF POTENTIALLY
09:38:19AM REPRESENTING 600,000 ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO THE CITY OF YBOR,
09:38:25AM BUT OUR CONCERN WOULD BE THAT IT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL TAX
09:38:28AM ON SOME OF THE RESIDENTS OF YBOR CITY.
09:38:32AM SOMETHING THAT HAD TO BE VENTED.
09:38:34AM MY UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE SOMETHING SAID AT A MEETING
09:38:38AM RELATIVELY RECENTLY WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS THAT WE
09:38:42AM HAVE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THIS.
09:38:43AM THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
09:38:44AM WE HAVE NOT VOTED IN FAVOR OF ANYTHING AND ITS NOT PRESENTED
09:38:49AM TO OUR BOARD, BUT TO THE PIECE IN LA GACETA.
09:38:59AM SOMETHING DISCUSSED.
09:39:01AM THE EDITOR THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BRING IN 600,000
09:39:05AM EXTRA AND WILL NOT IMPACT CAC MONIES FOR 1 AND 2.
09:39:11AM THAT NUMBER WASN'T EVEN DISCUSSED AT THAT MEETING.
09:39:14AM >>BILL CARLSON: ANYTHING THAT -- I APOLOGIZE TO YOUR BOARD,
09:39:17AM BECAUSE I THINK SOME OF YOU FELT BLINDSIDED WHEN WE CAME TO
09:39:20AM TALK TO YOU ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ALSO THE ARTS, BUT
09:39:23AM I WONDER, ANYTHING THAT YOUR MEMBERS -- BECAUSE YOUR MEMBERS
09:39:26AM ARE REALLY A CROSSSECTION OF THE LEADERS OF YBOR.
09:39:31AM THINKING THEY THINK WE ARE MISSING THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS ON.
09:39:36AM ANYTHING WE SHOULD DO?
09:39:38AM >> IN TERMS OF?
09:39:40AM >>BILL CARLSON: TALKING OF THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP.
09:39:42AM THE YCDC FILLED THAT ROLE BUT SOMETHING THAT THE DOWNTOWN
09:39:53AM PARTNERSHIP OFFERS THAT IS NOT BEING FILLED BY THE DOWNTOWN
09:39:57AM CHAMBER AND CRA OR ANY OTHER THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS?
09:40:01AM >> I THINK THAT WILL BE LEFT TO BE BEST TO THE FOLKS
09:40:03AM DOWNTOWN AS TO WHAT THEY THINK AND WHAT WAY, SHAPE OR FORM
09:40:06AM IT WOULD BENEFIT US.
09:40:07AM THAT WAS CERTAINLY THE WAY IT THE CONVERSATION WENT IN THE
09:40:17AM SHORT MEETING.
09:40:18AM I SAY A "SHORT MEETING" -- LESS THAN AN HOUR.
09:40:22AM WE CANDIDLY EXPRESSED QUESTIONS -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY
09:40:25AM CONCERNS, BUT UNANSWERED QUESTIONS THAT NEEDED TO BE
09:40:28AM ANSWERED SUCH AS VETTING.
09:40:30AM SUCH AS PARTICULARS.
09:40:31AM SUCH AS INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY IN YBOR HOW IT WOULD OR
09:40:36AM WOULD NOT BE RECEIVED.
09:40:37AM AND, OF COURSE, PRINCIPALLY, IF THERE IS AN IMPOSITION OF A
09:40:41AM PARTICULAR TAX, HOW ONE MIGHT BE BENEFITED FROM IT AND NONE
09:40:46AM OF THOSE WERE ANSWERED AND THEY FEEL THAT THOSE WERE BE IN
09:40:51AM THE UPCOMING WORKSHOPS.
09:40:53AM I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THERE ARE THREE WORKSHOPS THAT, YOU
09:40:57AM KNOW, I DON'T KNOW -- MY BOARD DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THEM.
09:40:59AM I CERTAINLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THEM.
09:41:01AM >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU.
09:41:02AM SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.
09:41:04AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: IF I CAN INTERRUPT REAL QUICKLY, WHAT IS
09:41:08AM BEING DISCUSSED IS A POTENTIAL EXPANSION OF WHAT IS CALLED
09:41:11AM THE DOWNTOWN SPECIAL SERVICES DISTRICT.
09:41:14AM >> CORRECT.
09:41:16AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT LEVIED FOR SERVICES
09:41:19AM PROVIDED OVER AND ABOVE WHAT THE CITY PROVIDES.
09:41:22AM THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP HAS REQUESTED THAT YOU ALL HAVE AS
09:41:29AM CITY COUNCIL, CONSIDER THE POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF THAT
09:41:32AM DISTRICT THAT WILL COME UP IN A PUBLIC HEARING NO LATER THAN
09:41:35AM MARCH 1.
09:41:35AM IF FOLKS WANT TO DO IT NEXT YEAR, QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS
09:41:38AM ABOUT THAT THAT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED AND
09:41:43AM YOUR CAPACITY AS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, NOT AS CRA.
09:41:48AM >>BILL CARLSON: MY CONCERN -- MY CONCERN IS -- YOU THINK I
09:41:52AM AM WASTING THE TIME BY ASKING THIS QUESTION?
09:41:54AM MY QUESTION TO YOU IS --
09:41:57AM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY --
09:41:59AM >>JOSEPH CITRO: I JUST THINK IT IS EX-PARTE COMMUNICATION.
09:42:02AM >>BILL CARLSON: NOT EX-PARTE COMMUNICATION.
09:42:04AM I AM ASKING HIS INPUT WHAT THE BOARD THINKS OF THE IDEA.
09:42:08AM WHAT THEY THINK IS NOT BEING OFFERED BY YBOR CITY RIGHT NOW.
09:42:12AM I THINK THAT IS A FAIR QUESTION BECAUSE WE ASKED THEM TO DO
09:42:15AM THINGS FOR US LIKE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
09:42:19AM ONE OF THE FEEDBACK THAT I HEARD THAT WE ARE -- THERE IS NOT
09:42:22AM ENOUGH BRANDING FOR YBOR CITY AND VERY LIMITED MONEY IN THE
09:42:27AM CRA BUDGET, BUT I AM WONDERING, AS YOU GO OUT -- I WILL GO
09:42:31AM OUT TO, AND WE WILL HEAR FEEDBACK FROM FOLKS WHAT THEY THINK
09:42:37AM IS NOT BEING DONE.
09:42:38AM WHETHER THIS IS THE RIGHT SOLUTION OR ANOTHER, WE NEED TO
09:42:41AM FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CONSTITUENTS IN YBOR THINK NEED TO BE
09:42:44AM DONE OR IF THE YCDC CAN RESOLVE THOSE, WE SHOULD LOOK THERE.
09:42:52AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: ONE THING I SHOULD MENTION RELATIVE TO
09:42:56AM IMPOSING A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AND ONE OF THE THINGS -- WE
09:42:59AM NEED TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH THE PARTNERSHIP IS THAT
09:43:01AM THEY NEED TO -- EVIDENCE THAT WHAT -- THE SERVICES THEY ARE
09:43:05AM PROVIDING AND THE ASSESSMENT THEY WOULD BE CHARGING ARE
09:43:13AM PROPORTIONAL.
09:43:13AM IN ORDER TO IMPOSE A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT, YOU CAN'T JUST
09:43:18AM PROVIDE THAT FOR SERVICES.
09:43:20AM YOU HAVE TO HAVE SERVICES THAT IS COMMENSURATE WHAT THEY
09:43:25AM IMPOSE AS A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AND THINGS THAT WE DON'T HAVE

09:43:59AM THE MID 20th CENTURY WITH URBAN RENEWAL OF THE DAMAGE DONE
09:44:03AM TO YBOR.
09:44:07AM AND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, YBOR WAS DEAD FOR A LONG TIME AND
09:44:11AM 20, 25 YEARS AGO, WE SAW A LOT OF THEIR REVITALIZATION, BUT
09:44:15AM THE RENAISSANCE THAT YBOR HAS BEEN WAITING FOR IS HAPPENING
09:44:21AM NOW.
09:44:21AM IT IS HAPPENING WITH PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT YOU

09:47:00AM KNOW THAT DOWNTOWN DOES COMMERCIAL ON THAT.
09:47:02AM I DON'T THINK THEY CAN DO RESIDENTIAL.
09:47:03AM WHEN YOU THINK OF ASSESSING A TAX OF COMMERCIAL AND
09:47:06AM RESIDENTIAL IN YBOR, I THINK THAT WILL BE A PROBLEM.
09:47:08AM A BIG PROBLEM AND PEOPLE ARE CALLING ABOUT THAT.

09:50:30AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU SAY OF YBOR CITY.
09:50:34AM FACTUAL.
09:50:35AM COMING BACK TO LIFE.
09:50:36AM YBOR CITY WENT THROUGH TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT CHANGES IN THE
09:50:41AM LAST 20 YEARS.
09:50:42AM STARTED IT BACK IN THE '90s.
09:50:44AM AND WE WERE CRITICIZED FOR DOING SOME THINGS -- BRINGING THE
09:50:48AM ASSETS TO START IT OFF AND THREE THINGS THAT I SAID THIS AND
09:50:51AM I HOPE I DON'T INSULT ANYBODY.
09:50:53AM WAY BACK WHEN YBOR CITY WENT DOWN, THREE THINGS THERE.
09:50:58AM DRUG ADDICTS, TUMBLEWEED AND PROSTITUTION.
09:51:01AM ALL THAT CLEARED OUT.
09:51:03AM AND THE ARTISTS CAME IN.
09:51:05AM AND THEY HAD A NICE LOW RENT UNTIL BE OPENED UP ONE BAR.
09:51:10AM THAT BAR BECAME SUCCESSFUL AND THE ARTIST HAD TO LEAVE
09:51:13AM BECAUSE MORE BARS CAME IN.
09:51:16AM HIGH RENT.
09:51:17AM IT IS COMING BACK.
09:51:19AM VERY LITTLE POPULATION WAY BACK AND VERY WELL POPULATED AND
09:51:23AM MOST LIKELY WILL GET MUCH MORE POPULATION.
09:51:25AM YBOR CITY IS COMING BACK.
09:51:28AM SUSPECT SIDEWALKS ARE MADE LIKE EVERYBODY WANTS THEM.
09:51:31AM THEY WERE MADE BACK 100 YEARS AGO AND NEVER FORGET THE
09:51:34AM CASINO THEATRE.
09:51:37AM I THOUGHT I WAS A MEXICAN BECAUSE MY GRANDMOTHER.
09:51:40AM I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER I START SPEAKING IN THEIR DIALECT.
09:51:45AM BUT A WONDERFUL AREA TO GROW UP IN AND NOTHING WRONG WITH
09:51:48AM BEING A MEXICAN, LET ME SAY THAT.
09:51:51AM BUT A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE -- TO LIVE BECAUSE YOU HAVE
09:51:54AM EVERYTHING AROUND YOU -- AT LEAST WE DID EVERY CORNER, EVERY
09:51:57AM TWO BLOCKS YOU HAD A LITTLE GROCERY STORE AND BUY THINGS FOR
09:52:01AM A QUARTER.
09:52:02AM YOU CAN'T BUY ANYTHING FOR A QUARTER NOWADAYS.
09:52:05AM THINGS CHANGE AND YBOR CITY IS STILL IN THE HEART OF TAMPA.
09:52:08AM THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND THE WHOLE COMMITTEE.
09:52:10AM >> APPRECIATE THAT.
09:52:11AM AND RESPONSE TO THAT AND I WON'T KEEP ANYBODY LONG, NOT ONLY
09:52:16AM WERE MY GRANDPARENTS -- MY GRANDMOTHER WAS A MIDWIFE AND
09:52:21AM DELIVERED BABIES.
09:52:22AM AND I WILL BE A DOCENT IN THE ARCHITECTURE WHEN THEY GO TO
09:52:27AM THE LA BANEFICA THE YBOR CITY DANCE STUDIO WHERE MY
09:52:34AM GRANDPARENTS LIVED.
09:52:34AM THEY LIVED THERE FOR 35 YEARS.
09:52:36AM IF SOMEONE HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, THEY WOULD RING THE BELL
09:52:40AM DOWNSTAIRS AND TAKEN CARE OF UPSTAIRS OPINION MY FATHER GREW
09:52:45AM UP IN THE LITTLE BUILDING WITH THREE LITTLE APARTMENTS THEY
09:52:48AM LIVED IN.
09:52:48AM THE OTHER SIDE I WILL TELL THAT YOU MY AUNT AND UNCLE HAD A
09:52:53AM GROCERY STORE ON 7th AVENUE AND STORE STARTED OFF YOU WOULD
09:52:56AM HAVE CHICKENS AND BUY YOUR CHICKENS INSIDE THE GROCERY STORE
09:53:00AM AND GIVE YOU THE CHICKENS.
09:53:01AM BUT REFRIGERATION CAME IN AND THEY OPENED UP A GROCERY STORE
09:53:05AM CALLED THE FOUR ROSES THAT WERE THERE 35 YEARS UNTIL THEY
09:53:08AM RETIRED AND I GREW UP WORKING AT THE GROCERY STORE UNTIL I
09:53:12AM WORKED AT THE HOSPITAL AS A ORDERLY AT THE CENTRO ESPANOL.
09:53:18AM ALL GOOD THINGS.
09:53:19AM I AM VERY PROUD TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.
09:53:21AM AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR WHAT MR. CARLSON HAS ASKED US TO
09:53:25AM INVESTIGATE WITH REGARD TO THE ARTS.
09:53:26AM I DO THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE FOCUSING QUITE A BIT
09:53:29AM ON CULTURE.
09:53:30AM I THINK WE NEED TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH REGARDS TO THE
09:53:33AM ARTS AS WELL IN YBOR CITY.

09:53:43AM SEEING YBOR -- THE REVITALIZATION HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY
09:53:47AM WONDERFUL.
09:53:47AM AND THE FOCUS ON THE ARTS I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY A WONDERFUL
09:53:54AM DIRECTION TO GO IN.
09:53:55AM THANK YOU, AGAIN, FOR EVERYTHING TODAY.
09:53:57AM WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
09:53:59AM >> SURE, MY PLEASURE, THANK YOU.
09:54:01AM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I SAY ONE THING.
09:54:09AM ONE THING FOR ANYBODY WATCHING.
09:54:10AM WE TALK OF THE ARTS AND SOME TIMES PEOPLE THINK ART IS
09:54:14AM SOMETHING NICE TO HAVE ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR BASIC NEEDS
09:54:17AM COVERED.
09:54:17AM WHAT WE FOUND THROUGHOUT THE REGION AND OTHER PLACES.
09:54:22AM I HAVE DONE A LOT OF ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION WITH CHIEF
09:54:26AM INFORMATION OFFICERS AND CEOs OF FAST-GROWING TECH
09:54:30AM COMPANIES.
09:54:30AM ON VACATION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I HAD DINNER EVERY NIGHT
09:54:33AM ON A CRUISE WITH A TOP PERSON WITH -- WHO WAS WITH AMAZON,
09:54:38AM NOW WITH MICROSOFT.
09:54:38AM AND WHAT THESE FOLKS SAY UNIFORMLY -- UNIVERSALLY IS THAT
09:54:45AM THE BEST CODERS.
09:54:48AM THE BEST PROGRAMMERS.
09:54:49AM THE BEST THINKERS FOR TECHNOLOGY.
09:54:52AM AND THE BEST THINKERS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WERE
09:54:57AM TRAINED IN THE ARTS AND BEST PROGRAMMERS STUDIED MUSIC.
09:55:00AM I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MUSIC THAT DOES IT, BUT THE ARTS IS NOT
09:55:04AM JUST SOMETHING NICE TO HAVE AND SOMETHING LOOK AT WHEN YOU
09:55:07AM A PIECE OF ART, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO
09:55:10AM CONNECT TO ALL THE INDUSTRIES THAT ARE DEVELOPING, TO ALL
09:55:12AM THE ENTREPRENEURS.
09:55:13AM RIGHT NOW YBOR IS A PLACE WHERE CREATIVE INDUSTRIES ARE
09:55:17AM GOING AND TECH COMPANIES, DEFENSE CONTRACTORS AND OTHERS AND
09:55:20AM THE MORE WE CAN CROSS-POLLINATE IT, THE MORE CREATIVE AND
09:55:24AM COMPETITIVE OUR OWN COMPANIES WILL BE.
09:55:25AM THANK YOU.
09:55:27AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THANK YOU.
09:55:32AM SO I AM REQUESTING YOU CONSIDER THE DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE.
09:55:41AM AND $400,000.
09:55:44AM I AM GOING TO INVITE MR. DRUMGO UP TO GIVE YOU MORE
09:55:50AM DETAILS, BUT THIS WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE CAC ON TWO
09:55:54AM DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE A QUORUM WAS BROKEN INTENTIONALLY
09:55:58AM NOT TO MOVE THIS ITEM FORWARD.
09:56:00AM THERE WERE COMMENTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT WHO WERE BEING THE
09:56:05AM BENEFICIARIES OF THIS PROGRAM, BUT WE ARE -- IF IT IS ANY
09:56:08AM INDICATION, IF THE PROGRAM IS WORKING FOR NOT, WE HAVE TO
09:56:12AM RESUPPLY THE FUNDING IN THIS PROGRAM.
09:56:14AM SO WE ARE PUTTING PEOPLE IN HOMES.
09:56:18AM WE ARE USING THE PROGRAMS AND LET MR. DRUMGO TALK TO YOU A
09:56:22AM LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE DETAILS, BUT I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
09:56:26AM APPROVAL SO WE CAN CONTINUE.
09:56:27AM WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE QUEUE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE REQUESTING
09:56:31AM AND NEEDING DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE IN PURCHASING A HOME AND
09:56:35AM WE RAN OUT OF MONEY AND RESPECTFULLY ASKING FOR YOUR
09:56:37AM APPROVAL AND I WILL LET MR. DRUMGO SPEAK.
09:56:40AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: I LIKE THAT RED BLAZER.
09:56:45AM I TELL YOU.
09:56:46AM >> LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET THAT ELMO PLEASE.
09:56:49AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: NICE COLOR THERE.
09:56:52AM HE IS AN ALPHA GUY.
09:56:55AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: BUT I LOVE THE COLOR.
09:56:57AM I DO LOVE IT.
09:56:58AM SAYS PRESS THE BUTTON.
09:57:08AM PERFECT.
09:57:13AM ALL RIGHT.
09:57:13AM DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR ALIS DRUMGO.
09:57:16AM I JUST WANT TO SPEAK TO THE LITTLE BIT OF THE DOWNPAYMENT
09:57:20AM ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
09:57:21AM I KNOW THAT THE CAC HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS THE OTHER DAY.
09:57:24AM I THINK AT THE INITIAL MEETING WHEN THIS WAS PRESENTED IN
09:57:28AM DECEMBER, A LOT OF THE CAC MEMBERS HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT, WHO
09:57:31AM WERE THE RECIPIENTS OF THESE DOLLARS.
09:57:34AM AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT ETHNIC BACKGROUND
09:57:39AM AND RACE AND, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SOME COMMENTS MADE THAT
09:57:42AM THESE FUNDS AREN'T REALLY GOING TO HELP PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE
09:57:45AM THE COMMUNITY.
09:57:46AM OR NOT REFLECTED OF THE COMMUNITY.
09:57:48AM AND I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS.
09:57:53AM THREE-YEAR DOWNPAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM SUPPORT AND ASSIST
09:57:58AM 26 -- EXCUSE ME, 26 AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES.
09:58:01AM I WOULD SAY ABOUT 80% OF YOUR RECIPIENTS HAVE BEEN BLACK OR
09:58:06AM IDENTIFY AS HISPANIC AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER CATEGORY.
09:58:13AM EXCUSE ME, EXPENDED $885,000 OVER THAT TIME FRAME.
09:58:18AM CURRENTLY 11 PEOPLE IN THE QUEUE THAT WILL GET YOU TO A
09:58:21AM TOTAL OF 45 RECIPIENTS AND IDEALLY WE WILL EXPEND ALL THI
09:58:25AM MONEY THIS FISCAL YEAR AND GET TO ABOUT $1.2 MILLION.
09:58:29AM SO IN THE PREVIOUS MEETING, JUST THIS WEEK, WHEN BEFORE
09:58:34AM FOLKS STEPPED AWAY FROM THE TABLE, THEY MOVED THE GOALPOST
09:58:37AM AGAIN AND SAID THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY REPORTS, WHO
09:58:43AM IS RECEIVING THESE DOLLARS AND MANAGER McCRAY COMPILED THESE
09:58:48AM STATISTICS TO SHARE THEM, BUT I HAVE PROVIDED TO PROVIDING
09:58:52AM THEM WITH A DETAILED REPORT, A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION
09:58:55AM DOWN THE ROAD AND WORKING WITH THE STAFF TO IMPLEMENT THAT
09:58:57AM REPORTING PROCESS ON A MONTHLY BASIS SO THAT THEY CAN
09:59:01AM RECEIVE SOME IDEA OF WHAT THE PEOPLE LOOK LIKE AND WHAT THE
09:59:05AM HOMES LOOK LIKE, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS PROGRAM IS
09:59:10AM GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY AND ONE OF THE TENETS OF THE CRA TO
09:59:16AM SUPPORT HOMEOWNERSHIP AND HELPING FAMILIES GAIN AN IMPORTANT
09:59:20AM ASSET, A HOME, THAT LEADS TO GENERATIONAL WEALTH AND EQUITY
09:59:24AM IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK THIS BOARD WILL SUPPORT.
09:59:26AM SO WE ARE ASKING FOR THE $400,000 SO WE CAN MOVE IT IN.
09:59:29AM AND CONTINUE THIS PROGRAM, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE 11 PENDING
09:59:33AM CLOSINGS.
09:59:34AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER GUDES.
09:59:39AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK THE ISSUE IS TRANSPARENCY.
09:59:42AM PEOPLE DON'T SEE WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW, AND I THINK THE PHONES
09:59:48AM CALLS THAT I MADE AND TALKING TO MR. DRUMGO.
09:59:52AM WE WILL PROVIDE THAT SO THEY CAN SEE IT UP FRONT.
09:59:55AM TAKING PHOTOS OF THE HOMEOWNER, BLACK, WHITE, GREEN AND
10:00:00AM PURPLE, TAKING THOSE PHOTOS AND VITAMINING THEM TO THE
10:00:04AM RIBBON CUTTING WHEN SOMEBODY IS ABLE TO GET THE MONEY.
10:00:06AM THIS IS THE PERSON WHO GOT THE MONEY, TA-DA-DA.
10:00:10AM THEY FEEL THAT THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THEIR DOLLARS ARE
10:00:13AM WORKING FOR THEM.
10:00:13AM I THINK WHEN YOU EXPLAIN SOME OF THE STAKEHOLDER THAT
10:00:17AM CALLED, WE AGREED THAT SOMETIMES WE DON'T KNOW UNTIL
10:00:20AM SOMETHING HAPPENS.
10:00:21AM SO NOW WE KNOW WE NEED TO DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER JOB.
10:00:27AM HAS A HOUSING PERSON WITH NOW THE MONEY THAT IS ALLOCATED
10:00:32AM FOR HOUSING -- I BELIEVE.
10:00:34AM I AM WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THE STRUCTURE FOR THE CAC AS A
10:00:40AM WHOLE AND YOU NEED FOR HOUSING.
10:00:43AM WE ASKED FOR THE DOLLARS TO BE ALLOCATED FOR HOUSING.
10:00:46AM PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHERE THAT MONEY IS GOING.
10:00:49AM HOW IT IS BEING SPENT.
10:00:50AM CAC NOT THE HDRC BUT THE CAC OF TAMPA TO GET THAT ACCOLADE.
10:00:59AM THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT.
10:01:00AM WE DID THIS.
10:01:01AM WE ARE A VIABLE BOARD.
10:01:02AM THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR THE COMMUNITY.
10:01:03AM EVERYBODY WANTS THEIR PLUG.
10:01:06AM AND RIGHTFULLY SO AND THAT HAS TO HAPPEN.
10:01:15AM I AM GLAD YOU ARE CALLING THE FOLKS WHO ARE RAISING THE
10:01:19AM ALARM AND THEY FEEL BETTER THAN YOU ARE DOING WHAT YOU SAY
10:01:23AM YOU ARE GOING TO DO.
10:01:23AM THEY TRUST YOU BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU TELL SOMEBODY YOU WILL
10:01:27AM DO SOMETHING, YOU DO IT.
10:01:28AM AND THAT IS NOTE WORTHY.
10:01:30AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: I WILL RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A MOTION FOR
10:01:33AM THE $400,000.

10:02:18AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE DON'T WANT TO THINK THAT THE CAC THINK
10:02:21AM WE ARE OVERRIDING THEM BECAUSE WE ARE AN ADVISORY BOARD.
10:02:26AM BUT FINANCING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
10:02:28AM 11 PEOPLE IN THE QUEUE AND NO MONEY.
10:02:29AM I CAN'T SEE 11 PEOPLE IN THE QUEUE AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE AT
10:02:33AM THE FINANCING STAGE AND WE CAN'T GIVE THEM MONEY.
10:02:36AM THAT IS MY RATIONALE FOR VOTING.
10:02:38AM IF WE CAN GO FORWARD NOW TO GIVE THEM WHAT THEY ARE ASKING
10:02:41AM FOR AND NOW THE PROCESS CAN MOVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
10:02:43AM BUT, AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, I AM WAITING TO HEAR THE STRUCTURAL
10:02:47AM SIDE OF HOW THEY ARE GOING TO RUN THIS HOUSING PROGRAM WITH
10:02:50AM OUR CAC BECAUSE I THINK THAT WILL NEED TO BE A KEY COMPONENT
10:02:54AM HOW THE MONEY IS BEING SPENT AND THE INITIATIVES.
10:02:57AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: PERFECT SEGUE.
10:03:00AM IF I CAN HAVE A MOMENT BEFORE WE GO BACK TO THE PRINTED
10:03:03AM AGENDA.
10:03:03AM I AM BRINGING FORWARD A PROPOSED RESTRUCTURE AND A PROPOSED
10:03:08AM DATE OR A COUPLE OF DATES FOR A RETREAT FOR THE BOARD MOVING
10:03:15AM FORWARD.
10:03:15AM I WANT TO LAY THE FOUNDATION BEFORE WE GET INTO IT NEXT
10:03:17AM MONTH.
10:03:18AM BECAUSE NEXT MONTH IS NOT JUST GOING TO BE A RESTRUCTURING
10:03:21AM OF STAFF, ADDING STAFF AND MOVING PEOPLE TO THE RIGHT
10:03:24AM PLACES.
10:03:24AM BUT I ALSO NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE CAC MEETINGS IN THE
10:03:30AM SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS AND WE ASKED ALL OF OUR CRA MANAGERS
10:03:34AM TO GIVE US AN ACCOUNTING OF HOW MANY MEETINGS THEY SERVE
10:03:38AM EVERY MONTH.
10:03:39AM AND YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED THAT ONE CALENDAR YEAR
10:03:47AM WE SERVICE OVER 200 MEETINGS AND WHEN YOU ADD THAT BY THE
10:03:51AM NUMBER OF STAFF MEMBERS, TIMES THAT BY TWO HOURS FOR MEETING
10:03:57AM WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ALMOST 900 WORK DAYS OF STAFF SERVICING
10:04:01AM JUST MEETINGS.
10:04:02AM AND SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GETTING THINGS DONE AND MOVING
10:04:08AM THINGS FORWARD, THE STAFF IS BURDENED.
10:04:14AM AND I AM GOING TO SAY BURDENED -- THAT IS NOT WRITING
10:04:18AM MINUTES FOLLOWING UP ON ACTION.
10:04:22AM I AM TALKING ABOUT GOING TO THE MEETINGS.
10:04:23AM 900 DAYS OF GOING TO MEETINGS IN ONE CALENDAR YEAR OF ALL
10:04:28AM YOUR STAFF.
10:04:28AM THAT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE.
10:04:30AM SO AS THIS BOARD CONSIDERS REDIRECTING, ADDING STAFF, AND
10:04:36AM REPOSITIONING PEOPLE, I NEED FOR YOU TO REALLY CONSIDER THE
10:04:40AM NUMBER OF CAC MEETINGS AND SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT YOUR
10:04:44AM STAFF THAT IS SITTING BEHIND ME AND THE OTHER MEMBERS ON
10:04:49AM THEIR TEAM SUPPORTING.
10:04:49AM IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE THE
10:04:52AM IMPACT WE NEED TO MAKE MOVING FORWARD.
10:04:54AM SO I JUST WANTED TO LAY THAT FOUNDATION WHEN I DO THE
10:04:57AM PRESENTATION NEXT MONTH, IT -- THE MOTION CALLS FOR BUDGET
10:05:02AM AND STAFFING RESTRUCTURE BUT I WILL TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT
10:05:05AM OF THE INEFFICIENCIES AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS OF US MOVING
10:05:09AM FORWARD.
10:05:10AM IT IS QUITE THE LIFT IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE ARE
10:05:12AM GOING TO MAKE THESE CHANGES WHILE KEEP THE TRAIN MOVING AT
10:05:18AM THE SAME TIME AND SERVING THE COMMUNITY.
10:05:19AM BUT YOU ARE COMMITTED TO IT.
10:05:20AM WE ARE COMMITTED TO IT.
10:05:22AM AND SO I WILL BRING THOSE THINGS TO YOU NEXT MONTH.
10:05:25AM I WANTED YOU TO BE PREPARED THAT IT IS BEYOND JUST ADDING
10:05:29AM STAFF THAT I -- IT IS A DIFFICULT CONVERSATION THAT I NEED
10:05:31AM TO HAVE WITH YOU.
10:05:32AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER GUDES.
10:05:34AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: I AM LOOKING FOR IMPLEMENTATION NOW.
10:05:37AM A LOT OF PROGRAMS ON THE SHELF.
10:05:39AM AND THE -- SOME OF THE CDCs.
10:05:43AM IT'S HERE.
10:05:44AM IT'S HERE.
10:05:45AM I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT.
10:05:45AM IT IS TIME TO IMPLEMENT, TO GET THE TRAIN MOVING.
10:05:48AM AND I THINK YOU KNOW MEETINGS ARE GOOD AND HOWEVER YOU
10:05:53AM CATEGORIZE WHATEVER COMMITTEES THEY HAVE TO BREAK THEM DOWN
10:05:56AM AND MEET AND HAVE THE INPUT OF WHAT THE COMMUNITIES IN THAT
10:05:59AM SECTION WANTS.
10:06:00AM I THINK IT IS GREAT AND TALKING ABOUT THE STAFF.
10:06:03AM YOU HAVE A HOUSING STAFF FOR ALL YOUR CACS.
10:06:07AM THAT WAY EVERYBODY IS WORK THE SAME CHANNEL.
10:06:09AM YOU KNOW WHAT I AM DOING.
10:06:11AM WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING.
10:06:12AM SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS FROM DIFFERENT AREAS
10:06:16AM AND PUT THEM ON THE BOARD.
10:06:17AM MANAGEMENT.
10:06:18AM REAL MANAGEMENT.
10:06:19AM WHEN WE TALK OF A TREE PROGRAM.
10:06:23AM IF EAST TAMPA HAS ONE, WEST TAMPA AND OTHER AREAS CAN USE
10:06:27AM THE SAME THING.
10:06:28AM LET'S NOT INVENT IT.
10:06:29AM IT IS THERE.
10:06:30AM IT IS ALREADY ON THE TABLE.
10:06:31AM WE HAVE THAT ALREADY.
10:06:33AM IT IS IN THERE AND PLUG IT IN AND KEEP IT ROLLING.
10:06:36AM GLAD YOU ARE LOOKING AT THAT.
10:06:37AM I THINK IT IS NEEDED.
10:06:39AM STILL GET THE INPUT FROM THE OTHER COMMUNITIES BUT BRINGING
10:06:43AM IT ALL IN AND HAVING STAFF CONCENTRATE ON PROGRAMS AND
10:06:45AM IMPLEMENTATION WILL MOVE ESPECIALLY EAST TAMPA CRA.
10:06:49AM ALL THESE PROGRAMS ON THE SHELF NEED TO BE IMPLEMENTED.
10:06:52AM THANK YOU FOR THAT.
10:06:53AM I WILL SUPPORT THE MOTION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE MOTION,
10:07:01AM CORRECT?
10:07:02AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: I THINK YOU CARRIED THE MOTION.
10:07:04AM I WAS JUST GIVING YOU THAT INFORMATION BEFORE I BROUGHT IT
10:07:07AM TO YOU NEXT MONTH.
10:07:08AM SO NO MOTION RIGHT NOW.
10:07:10AM GOING TO THE PRINTED AGENDA RIGHT NOW, ITEM NUMBER 2, THERE
10:07:15AM IS A -- A MEMO FROM CHIEF OF STAFF BENNETT REQUESTING THAT
10:07:19AM THIS AGENDA ITEM BE CONTINUED TO MARCH 9 CRA MEETING TO
10:07:24AM ALIGN WITH THE -- WITH THE SERVICE AGREEMENT THAT WE NEED TO
10:07:29AM MODIFY FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.
10:07:32AM AND I AM GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW BEFORE I BRING IT TO
10:07:34AM YOU, THAT I AM ASKING YOU TO MODIFY THE SERVICES AGREEMENT
10:07:37AM FOR FISCAL YEAR '23 AND '24.
10:07:45AM SO WE DON'T HAVE TO BRING IT BACK TO YOU.
10:07:47AM MIDWAY THROUGH '23 AND RETRO AND A 18-MONTH SERVICE
10:07:54AM AGREEMENT.
10:07:55AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER GUDES.
10:07:57AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: I AM CONFUSED.
10:08:00AM NOT WHAT WE ASK FOR FOR YOU AND MR. DRUMGO TO GET PAID.
10:08:04AM WE MAKE THE EXCEPTION OF THINGS IN THE AREA OF CHANGING
10:08:10AM NAMES AND AREAS, PERSONNEL, DOLLARS AND CENTS.
10:08:13AM THIS BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PAY.
10:08:14AM I AM CONFUSED WHY IT IS BEING KICKED DOWN THE CAN SO LONG.
10:08:19AM I KNOW YOU ARE OVERWORKED WORKING 15 AND 16 HOURS A DAY.
10:08:23AM YOU ARE DOING THE CITY WORK AND CRA BUSINESS AND DOING A
10:08:26AM GREAT JOB GETTING THE JOB OUT.
10:08:27AM UNFAIR -- I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IN THE WORLD THAT MONEY
10:08:30AM HAS BEEN ALLOCATED AND SET FOR A DIRECTOR.
10:08:32AM HOW YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT MONEY AND PRORATE WHAT YOU BOTH HAVE
10:08:36AM BEEN DOING AND PAY YOU IS BEYOND ME.
10:08:39AM I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS.
10:08:41AM YOU ALL BRING A -- A FISCAL BUDGET BACK FOR '24 IS FINE, BUT
10:08:49AM I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IMPACTS -- THE ORIGINAL MOTION WAS MADE
10:08:54AM TO TALK ABOUT A NEW CONTRACT COMING FORWARD.
10:08:56AM I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
10:08:58AM I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS.
10:08:59AM MR. MASSEY, YOU ARE THE CRA ATTORNEY.
10:09:02AM AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT, NOT THE CITY ATTORNEY.
10:09:05AM IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CRA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
10:09:10AM BUDGET AND DOLLARS AND CENTS, IS THAT CORRECT, SIR?
10:09:13AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: THE WAY THAT THE CRA IS STAFFED IS THROUGH
10:09:16AM THE SERVICES AGREEMENT.
10:09:17AM THE CITY PROVIDES THE SERVICES THROUGH CITY EMPLOYEES SO
10:09:23AM THAT IS THE VEHICLE BY WHICH WE SET WHAT THE CRA WILL PAY
10:09:27AM FOR THOSE SERVICES.
10:09:29AM THE FY '23 SERVICE AGREEMENT IS DONE.
10:09:33AM THE FY '23 BUDGET IS DONE.
10:09:37AM HOW YOU CAN ADDRESS SALARIES AND HOW THEY ARE COMPENSATE
10:09:42AM THROUGH THE SERVICE AGREEMENT AND THAT IS WHY THIS IS BEING
10:09:44AM CONTINUED.
10:09:45AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: BUT MY QUESTION IS, WE ARE GOING TO WAIT TO
10:09:48AM PAY SOMEBODY DOWN THE ROAD FIVE OR SIX MONTHS OF WORK?
10:09:52AM THAT IS THE PROBLEM I HAVE.
10:09:53AM IF I AM GOING TO WORK, I WANT TO BE PAID.
10:09:57AM IF I AM WORKING WHY WOULD I WAIT FIVE OR SIX MONTHS --
10:10:01AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: THE OTHER THING, I THINK -- AND THEY ARE ALSO
10:10:03AM CITY EMPLOYEES AND SUBJECT TO THE PERSONNEL POLICIES AND
10:10:06AM THIS IMPACTS CERTAIN PERSONNEL POLICIES.
10:10:09AM SO THE CHIEF OF STAFF IS TRYING TO WORK WITH HR AND BUDGET
10:10:13AM TO MAKE SURE WHAT HE DOES IS APPROPRIATE GIVEN THE
10:10:16AM PARAMETERS OF THE OVERALL SITTING HR POLICIES.
10:10:20AM THE TWO THINGS HE IS WORKING IN.
10:10:22AM AND SO THAT -- AND SO WE NEED TO DO IT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
10:10:26AM AGREEMENT BETWEEN THIS BOARD AND THE CITY THAT IS AGREEABLE
10:10:33AM TO BOTH PARTIES AND IF YOU ALL DO SOMETHING UNILATERALLY,
10:10:37AM THAT MAY EFFECT WHAT HAPPENS ON THE CITY SIDE OF THING AS
10:10:40AM WELL, ON THE PERSONNEL SIDE.
10:10:41AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: SAYING THAT -- TALKING OF A SERVICE
10:10:43AM AGREEMENT AND SAYING THAT.
10:10:44AM I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A BUFFER AND POLICY WITHIN THIS
10:10:51AM AGREEMENT THAT IN CASE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN.
10:10:53AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: ONE OF THE REASONS WHY FRANKLY IT NEEDS TO
10:10:56AM BE PLACED IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SERVICE AGREEMENT BECAUSE
10:10:59AM WHAT HAPPENED LAST FISCAL YEAR IS HAPPENING AGAIN.
10:11:01AM ONE OF THE REASONS WE HELD UP DOING THE SERVICES AGREEMENT
10:11:04AM IS BECAUSE Y'ALL YOU WERE INTERFOR A CRA DIRECTOR.
10:11:08AM WE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE A DIRECTOR ONLINE AND THIS WOULD
10:11:11AM EFFECT THE AGREEMENT OF HOW PEOPLE ARE COMPENSATED IN BOTH.
10:11:17AM HOW THE MONEY WOULD FLOW.
10:11:18AM WE ARE BACK IN A VERY SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCE AND THAT IS ONE
10:11:21AM OF THE REASONS WE NEED TO ADDRESS.
10:11:23AM SO WE HAVE A -- EVERYONE AGREES TO DETERMINES AND HOW THAT
10:11:27AM IS GOING TO WORK.
10:11:29AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WANTED TO MAKE SURE -- IF YOU ARE GOING
10:11:31AM TO DO THIS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE COMPENSATED FROM
10:11:34AM THE TIME THEY TOOK OVER FOR WHENEVER YOUR NEW SERVICE
10:11:37AM AGREEMENT IS AND PROPERLY -- NOT 4%, BUT PROPERLY
10:11:41AM COMPENSATED.
10:11:41AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: AGAIN, I MEAN, I AM -- I AM -- I DON'T -- I
10:11:48AM AM NOT -- I WANT TO MAKE SURE IS DONE CORRECTLY AND LEGALLY.
10:11:53AM THAT IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO.
10:11:55AM HOW IT WORKS OUT PERCENTAGE-WISE, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO
10:12:01AM HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF AND HR, I DON'T
10:12:05AM WANT WANT TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH AND NEGOTIATE THAT UP
10:12:09AM HERE.
10:12:09AM WE NEED TO --
10:12:11AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT WILL BE FINE.
10:12:12AM I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS WHEN I MEET WITH THE CHIEF
10:12:15AM OF STAFF AND KELLY AUSTIN BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE PAID FOR
10:12:18AM THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE.
10:12:19AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER CARLSON.
10:12:21AM >>BILL CARLSON: I AGREE WITH BOARD MEMBER GUDES.
10:12:24AM WE -- WE HAVE BEEN IN A WAY COMMITTED THIS TO SOMEONE WHO IS
10:12:34AM WORKING HARD FOR US AND THEY ARE SELFLESS AND PROBABLY SAY
10:12:39AM DON'T TROUBLE WITH IT.
10:12:40AM I WILL ASK CHIEF OF STAFF AND LEGAL STAFF TO BE CREI HAVE A
10:12:43AM I HAVE IT OF LOOKING AT THIS.
10:12:44AM I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE OUTSOURCING THIS TO THE CITY, AND
10:12:48AM THE CITY HAS TO FOLLOW THEIR OWN RULES, BUT MY EXPERIENCE IN
10:12:52AM THE PRIVATE SECTOR DEALING WITH ORGANIZATIONS.
10:12:55AM IF YOU HAVE SOME SERVICES OUTSOURCED FOR THE ORGANIZATION
10:12:59AM AND YOU WANT TO GIVE SOMEBODY A BONUS, YOU GO TO THE -- TO
10:13:03AM THE CEO AND MANAGER OF THAT BUSINESS AND SAY DO YOU WANT ME
10:13:07AM -- IS IT OKAY IF I GIVE A BONUS AND CAN I GIVE IT THROUGH A
10:13:11AM COMPANY AND SEPARATELY.
10:13:12AM TYPICALLY OKAY TO GIVE IT TO THEM SEPARATELY.
10:13:16AM IN THIS CASE CITY CONTRACTS.
10:13:18AM AND THE IDEA WILL BE FOR THE CITY TO SIMPLY RIGHT A LETTER
10:13:24AM TO IT THE -- TO THE CRA SHARE SAYING WE GIVE YOU PERMISSION
10:13:30AM TO GIVE A BONUS TO OUR EMPLOYEES AND THAT IS SEPARATE FROM
10:13:35AM THE CITY CONTRACTS BECAUSE IT IS NOT GOING THROUGH THE CITY
10:13:38AM AND JUST THE CRA DOING IT DIRECTLY AND THEY WILL BE
10:13:41AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN PAYROLL TAXES AND EVERYTHING.
10:13:44AM SO GOT TO BE SOME CREATIVE WAY OF DOING IT.
10:13:47AM THANK YOU.
10:13:47AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: IF I MAY, I AM NOT SPEAKING TO THE ISSUE AT
10:13:53AM ALL.
10:13:53AM I AM SPEAKING BECAUSE I HAVE TO BRING YOU BACK A SERVICES
10:13:55AM AGREEMENT.
10:13:56AM AND MR. MASSEY BROUGHT UP THE FACT THAT WE WERE WORKING ON A
10:13:59AM SERVICES AGREEMENT.
10:14:00AM AND WE STOPPED THAT WHEN WE WERE DOING THE RECRUITMENT FOR
10:14:03AM THE CRA DIRECTOR.
10:14:04AM AND SO SINCE WE HAVE TO BRING THAT BACK TO YOU, IF -- THERE
10:14:08AM WERE SOME -- I DO HAVE NOTES ON -- FROM THAT CRA MEETING
10:14:13AM THAT WE HAD AT THE CONVENTION CENTER OF THAT THERE WERE
10:14:18AM COMMENTS ON THINGS WE CAN MODIFY IN OUR SERVICES AGREEMENT.
10:14:21AM IF YOU HAVE CHANGES YOU WANT TO MAKE IN THE SERVICES
10:14:23AM AGREEMENT UNRELATED, I AM NOT SPEAKING ABOUT THIS ITEM -- WE
10:14:28AM NEED TO KNOW BECAUSE WE ARE BRINGING THIS ITEM BACK TO YOU
10:14:30AM IN MARCH AND ANY MODIFICATION TO THAT AGREEMENT I NEED FOR
10:14:34AM THAT TO BE COMMUNICATED TO US SO WE CAN DRAFT DOCUMENTS.
10:14:37AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER CARLSON.
10:14:40AM >>BILL CARLSON: I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION AND NOT GO DEEP
10:14:43AM INTO IT, BUT A QUICK OVERVIEW, THE SERVICE AGREEMENT AMOUNT
10:14:46AM INCREASED THE LAST TIME.
10:14:48AM YOU ARE -- IN A DIFFERENT EFFORT, YOU ARE LOOKING AT
10:14:53AM STAFFING.
10:14:53AM YOU ARE KIND OF MAKING THE CASE WE NEED MORE STAFFING.
10:14:58AM IN SOME AREAS MAYBE WE ARE OVERSTAFFED, SO I THINK I WOULD
10:15:01AM RELY ON YOUR EXPERTISE TO LOOK AT THAT AND JUDGE IF WE NEED
10:15:05AM TO MOVE PEOPLE AROUND OR REALLOCATE RESOURCES OR WHATEVER.
10:15:08AM DO YOU THINK IT IS GOING TO BE STUB ARE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER
10:15:13AM THE AMOUNT.
10:15:13AM WHAT IS IT, $2.5 MILLION OR SOMETHING.
10:15:16AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: MORE LIKE $3 MILLION.
10:15:18AM >>BILL CARLSON: DO YOU THINK --
10:15:20AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: IT WILL BE HIGHER.
10:15:22AM >>BILL CARLSON: MUCH HIGHER?
10:15:23AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: YES.
10:15:24AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER MIRANDA.
10:15:26AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE MOST AFFECTED
10:15:28AM RIGHT HERE.
10:15:29AM ARE YOU IN ANY WAY NOT WILLING TO WAIT 30 DAYS OR WHATEVER
10:15:32AM IT TAKES TO SOLVE THIS?
10:15:34AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: LISTEN, REGARDING THIS MOTION, I ALWAYS
10:15:39AM SAID I AM NOT SPEAKING ON IT.
10:15:40AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S OKAY.
10:15:41AM YOU ARE RIGHT.
10:15:42AM I AM SORRY.
10:15:42AM I APOLOGIZE.
10:15:44AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: NO, NO, NO.
10:15:45AM I AM JUST SAYING THAT 30 DAYS, 60 DAYS, 365 DAYS, I AM EVER
10:15:50AM GOING TO SPEAK ON THIS.
10:15:51AM THIS IS SELF-SERVING FOR ME TO DISCUSS THAT.
10:15:54AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I APPRECIATE YOUR STANCE.
10:15:56AM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
10:15:57AM I NEED A MOTION.
10:16:00AM >>JOSEPH CITRO: SO MOVED.
10:16:05AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND.
10:16:06AM >>LYNN HURTAK: ALL IN FAVOR.
10:16:08AM ANY OPPOSED?
10:16:12AM OKAY.
10:16:12AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: MADAM CHAIR.
10:16:15AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER GUDES.
10:16:17AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: I AM GOING TO SUPPORT IT.
10:16:19AM I HEAR MR. MASSEY'S RATIONALE ON IT.
10:16:24AM I DON'T TOTALLY AGREE ON IT.
10:16:26AM BUT I WILL SUPPORT IT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION TO COME BACK
10:16:29AM AND MAKE SURE IT IS FAIR AND WE CAN ADD WHAT WE NEED TO ADD
10:16:32AM INTO THE SERVICES AGREEMENT AND THIS YOU ARE COMPENSATED.
10:16:37AM IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR TO YOU BE EXPENSE SAY THEED FOR THE
10:16:41AM WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE.
10:16:42AM THANK YOU.
10:16:43AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THANK YOU.
10:16:48AM THE NEXT ITEM THAT I HAVE FOR YOU IS -- IT WAS A MOTION MADE
10:16:54AM AT A MEETING FOR AN UPDATE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE
10:16:57AM TAMPA THEATRE INVESTMENTS.
10:16:58AM AND WHEN IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE STARTED.
10:17:01AM AND SO, JUST TO REMIND YOU, WITH THE TAMPA THEATRE, WE WERE
10:17:06AM ON PAUSE FOR A BIT BECAUSE WE -- WE DID NOT OWN THE ENTIRE
10:17:11AM PIECE.
10:17:12AM THERE WAS A -- THERE WAS A QUICK TAKE -- EMINENT DOMAIN
10:17:17AM PROCEEDING THAT WENT FORTH THAT WE RECENTLY SETTLED WITHIN
10:17:21AM -- I WANT TO SAY THE LAST 60 DAYS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO NOW
10:17:25AM OWN THE ENTIRE THING.
10:17:26AM I HAVE MET WITH JOHN BELL -- ALIS DRUMGO AND I MET WITH JOHN
10:17:32AM BELL RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS TALKING OF THE 100th
10:17:37AM ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP.
10:17:37AM IT WILL BE REALLY COOL IF THE THEATRE COULD BE RESTORED AND
10:17:41AM ALL OF THE RENOVATIONS AND SMALL EXPANSION THAT THEY HAVE IT
10:17:46AM SHALL THAT THEY ARE PLANNING, IS DONE BEFORE THEIR 100th
10:17:49AM ANNIVERSARY.
10:17:49AM WE MET WITH THEM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COSTS ARE.
10:17:52AM WE IS IT HAVE VERY LITTLE MONEY IN A SPECIFIC LINE ITEM FOR
10:17:58AM TAMPA THEATRE.
10:17:58AM I AM NOT SAYING THAT WE CAN'T DO IT.
10:18:00AM WE WERE WAITING FOR THIS CONDEMNATION PROCESS TO TAKE PLACE.
10:18:06AM I HAVE ANOTHER MEETING SCHEDULED WITH JOHN BELL THIS FRIDAY
10:18:09AM TO WORK THROUGH THE NUMBERS.
10:18:14AM AS YOU VERY WELL KNOW, COST OF CONSTRUCTION IS INCREASING BY
10:18:18AM THE SECOND.
10:18:18AM AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE SET UP FOR SUCCESS.
10:18:21AM AND JUST -- I WILL TAKE THIS POINT TO TELL YOU THAT THERE
10:18:24AM ARE OTHER CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
10:18:32AM THAT ARE LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE MOVING FORWARD SHORTLY.
10:18:35AM AND I COMMITTED TO YOU TO LOOK AT YOUR DOWNTOWN CHANNELSIDE
10:18:40AM BUDGETS AND WHAT HAS BEEN COMMITTED, AND LOOK AT THAT
10:18:45AM PROJECTION OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.
10:18:48AM I THINK WE HAVE IT FOR MAYBE THREE YEARS.
10:18:50AM I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT OUR CIPs MORE LIKE TEN YEARS TO SEE
10:18:55AM WHAT THOSE COMMITMENTS ARE.
10:18:57AM THE TAMPA THEATRE AND OTHER REQUESTS YOU WILL BE GETTING
10:19:01AM SOON ARE ASKING FOR THIS MONEY TO BE FRONT LOADED FOR ANY
10:19:06AM ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO BE FRONT LOADED.
10:19:09AM I ANTICIPATE WE HAVE A REQUEST AND AGREEMENT BROUGHT TO YOU
10:19:12AM BY FEBRUARY OR MARCH CRA MEETING.
10:19:16AM OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T HAVE MUCH MORE DETAILS TO ADD TO
10:19:19AM THAT ACCEPT THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT THE BUDGET TO MAKE SURE
10:19:22AM THAT ANY COMMITMENTS THAT YOU MAKE TO THESE ORGANIZATIONS
10:19:25AM THAT WE HAVE THE CASH FLOW TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
10:19:28AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER CARLSON.
10:19:31AM >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.
10:19:32AM WE WERE ALL BRIEFED ON THIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
10:19:37AM AND I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME IT WAS IN TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT
10:19:41AM ACCOUNTS IN OUR BUDGET AND I THINK EVERYBODY WAS BRIEFED ON
10:19:44AM THAT.
10:19:44AM IF NOT FOR THE LEASE ISSUE UNDERNEATH, WE WOULD HAVE
10:19:47AM APPROVED IT AND THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID A COUPLE OF YEARS
10:19:50AM AGO.
10:19:50AM WE -- I THINK WE ALL LOVE THE TAMPA THEATRE.
10:19:53AM THERE IS NOBODY IN TOWN THAT DOESN'T LOVE THE TAMPA THEATRE
10:19:58AM -- I DON'T THINK IT IS CONTROVERSIAL IN ANY WAY TO SUPPORT
10:20:04AM TAMPA THEATRE.
10:20:05AM IN THE 80s -- I THINK I SAID THIS BEFORE, IN THE '80s,
10:20:08AM SOMEONE WENT THROUGH TO CLEAN OFF THE DUSTING.
10:20:10AM THEY SPRAY WASHED THE PLASTER AND OTHER THINGS.
10:20:13AM FEW YEARS AGO, THE TAMPA THEATRE WENT THROUGH AND RESTORED
10:20:17AM THE LOBBY AND ALSO THE PLASTER PIECES IN THE LOBBY.
10:20:20AM AND THERE ARE SPECIALISTS, PAINTERS AND CONSULTANTS WHO DO
10:20:25AM THAT.
10:20:26AM ONE OF THEM HAPPEN TO LIVE IN THIS AREA AND A VERY SPECIFIC
10:20:29AM KIND OF THING.
10:20:30AM AND IF -- THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE OF THE REVENUE MODEL OF THE
10:20:34AM THEATRE.
10:20:38AM NOT LIKE THE STRAZ CENTER THAT PRINCIPLES IN HUGE AMOUNTS OF
10:20:42AM MONEY.
10:20:42AM YOU ARE ON THE BOARD, RIGHT?
10:20:44AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YEP.
10:20:46AM >>BILL CARLSON: I AM NOT ON THE BOARD.
10:20:48AM I NEVER SAT ON THE BOARD.
10:20:49AM THEY CAN'T BRING IN THE MONEY TO COMPLETELY RESTORE THIS.
10:20:53AM THIS IS A TAMPA'S JEWEL.
10:20:55AM NOT MANY IN THE COUNTRY LEFT.
10:20:56AM THE SIGN IS ONE OF TWO OR THREE CULTURAL ICONS OF THE CITY.
10:21:01AM I THINK BECAUSE OF OUR KIND OF VERBAL COMMITMENT A COUPLE OF
10:21:05AM YEARS AGO, WE NEED TO MOVE THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
10:21:07AM I WOULD SUGGEST -- KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE ALL UP FOR
10:21:11AM REELECTION.
10:21:11AM WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
10:21:13AM THIS BOARD COULD BE EXACTLY THE SAME OR COULD BE VERY
10:21:16AM DIFFERENT AFTER MAY 1.
10:21:18AM SO I WOULD -- I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE CRA
10:21:29AM STAFF TO WORK WITH TAMPA THEATRE TO WOMAN BACK US TO AT THE
10:21:34AM NEXT CRA MEETING WITH A PROPOSED PLAN TO OUTLINE BUDGET AND
10:21:38AM DRAFT AGREEMENT.
10:21:42AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: I THINK WE CAN DO THAT.
10:21:43AM >>BILL CARLSON: IF WE DO THAT IN FEBRUARY.
10:21:46AM MORRIS, DO WE HAVE TO APPROVE -- APPROVE AN AGREEMENT TWICE?
10:21:52AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: NO, YOU WOULD HAVE TO THEN.
10:21:54AM THE ONLY OTHER ACTION THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN IF IT
10:21:58AM EFFECTS A CHANGE IN YOUR APPROVED BUDGET, THAT WOULD HAVE TO
10:22:02AM COME BACK TO YOU AS CITY COUNCIL TO MOVE THE MONEY IN THE
10:22:05AM CORRECT ACCOUNT.
10:22:06AM >>BILL CARLSON: THE REASON WHY I THINK WE OUGHT TO HAVE A
10:22:11AM DRAFT AGREEMENT.
10:22:12AM IDEALLY ABLE TO PROVE IT IN FEBRUARY AND ASK EVERYBODY IF
10:22:15AM YOU ARE IN FAVOR OF THIS AND EVEN IF YOU WERE NOT ASK A LOT
10:22:18AM OF QUESTIONS BEHIND THE SCENE SO WE CAN APPROVE IT.
10:22:20AM IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT HOLDS IT UP, ONLY TWO MORE SHOTS
10:22:23AM TO GET IT UP BEFORE THIS COUNCIL IS OFFICIALLY OVER.
10:22:26AM OR THIS BOARD IS OFFICIALLY OVER, SORRY.
10:22:32AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION NOW?
10:22:36AM >>BILL CARLSON: THAT IS MY MOTION.
10:22:37AM DID YOU GET THAT?
10:22:40AM SORRY.
10:22:40AM TO COME BACK WITH A PLAN OUTLINE BUDGET AND DRAFT AGREEMENT
10:22:47AM BETWEEN CRA AND TAMPA THEATRE AT THE FEBRUARY CRA BOARD
10:22:51AM MEETING.
10:22:52AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND.
10:22:53AM >>LYNN HURTAK: A MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER CARLSON.
10:22:56AM SECONDED BY BOARD MEMBER MIRANDA.
10:22:58AM ALL IN FAVOR.
10:22:59AM OKAY.
10:23:02AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THANK YOU.
10:23:03AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: GOOD MORNING, AGAIN.
10:23:15AM LET'S SEE IF WE CAN HAVE THE PC.
10:23:18AM SO I HAVE A PRESENTATION BEFORE YOU TODAY.
10:23:21AM IN AUGUST, THE BOARD ASKED THAT STAFF APPEAR AND PROVIDE AN
10:23:24AM UPDATE ON MAPPING OF CITY OWNED PROPERTIES AND LAND TRUST
10:23:30AM CONCEPTS.
10:23:30AM SO TODAY, I HAVE PUT TOGETHER ONE PRESENTATION, BUT IT IS
10:23:34AM BROKEN UP.
10:23:34AM AND I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE STAFF'S EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH
10:23:37AM THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST, PROVIDING YOU WITH AN UPDATE ON
10:23:41AM THE ACTIONS AND THE NEXT STEPS.
10:23:43AM AND THEN I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATE ON THE PROCESS
10:23:46AM THAT STAFF WENT THROUGH TO IDENTIFY THE LAND -- WE INTEND TO
10:23:50AM DESIGNATE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH A TIMELINE OF
10:23:53AM ADOPTION.
10:23:54AM AFTER GIVING YOU A PREVIEW OF A PUBLIC FACING DASHBOARD THAT
10:23:58AM STAFF HAS DEVELOPED.
10:23:59AM IF YOU RECALL, ADMINISTRATOR TRAVIS PROVIDED A PRESENTATION
10:24:03AM TO YOU ALL BACK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR AS A COMPREHENSIVE
10:24:06AM HOUSING STRATEGY AND HIGHLIED A NEED FOR NEW FUND FOR
10:24:10AM AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO PROMOTE OWNERSHIP THROUGH A CLT AND
10:24:14AM OTHER MODELS.
10:24:15AM AT THAT TIME SHARED WITH YOU THE DUAL LAND TRUST MODEL AND
10:24:21AM HIGHLIGHTED THE CITY OF TAMPA'S NEED FOR A LAND TRUST AND
10:24:24AM ALSO A MODEL THAT ALLOWED FOR OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
10:24:29AM TO OPERATE AS LAND TRUSTS AS WELL SO WHEN SHE MENTIONED THAT
10:24:35AM STRATEGY, THAT WAS OPTION 3 ON THE BIG BOARD HERE IF YOU ARE
10:24:39AM LOOKING AT IT.
10:24:40AM WE WERE GOING FULL BULL AHEAD WITH THE THIRD OPTION TO HAVE
10:24:47AM THE COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS OPERATING.
10:24:50AM AND WE REALIZED QUICKLY THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO DO THAT
10:24:54AM UNTIL YOU HAVE AN ORGANIZATION THAT WILL PROVIDE TECHNICAL
10:24:59AM ASSISTANCE TO THOSE ENTITIES.
10:25:00AM BECAUSE OF THAT, WE WANT TO RUN HARDER AT OPTION NUMBER 2.
10:25:03AM SO OPTION NUMBER 2 FOR US, IT WOULD REQUIRE US TO DEVELOP A
10:25:10AM STAND-ALONE ENTITY.
10:25:11AM A COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION INCUBATED BY THE CITY AND THE
10:25:15AM CRA WHERE WE FOCUS ON BUILDING CAPACITY FOR OTHER
10:25:18AM ORGANIZATIONS.
10:25:18AM THAT WAY WE DO HAVE THAT EXPERT GROUP IN SORT OF -- I WON'T
10:25:22AM EVEN SAY IN-HOUSE BUT A STAND-ALONE GROUP AND THAT EXPERT
10:25:27AM ENTITY OUT THERE DOING SOME OF THE WORK AS WELL.
10:25:30AM WITH THAT, STAND SOMETHING UP TO CLT IS A MULTIPHASE
10:25:35AM PROCESS.
10:25:36AM TO DATE, WE ACTUALLY LOOKED AT IN OUR FIRST PIECE.
10:25:41AM BROKE IT UP IN THREE PHASES.
10:25:43AM FIRST PIECE.
10:25:44AM WHAT IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE MODEL TO IMPLEMENT THE
10:25:47AM COMMUNITY LAND TRUST, AND ALSO FROM THAT PROCESS AND LOOKING
10:25:51AM AT OPTION NUMBER 2 WHERE WE HAVE THE NEW COMMUNITY-BASED
10:25:55AM ORGANIZATION.
10:25:56AM DRAFTING THE BYLAWS AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND A DRAFT
10:26:01AM OF GROUND LEASES THAT WILL NEED TO ACCOMPANY THE LAND TRUST
10:26:10AM PRO VIEWING OPERATIONAL LAND TRUST AND LOOKING AT THE
10:26:13AM RECRUITMENT PIECE FOR RECRUITING BOARD MEMBERS FOR THAT
10:26:16AM ENTITY.
10:26:18AM SO I MENTIONED TO YOU THAT WE HAVE BROKEN IT UP INTO PHASES.
10:26:22AM AND PHASES TWO AND THREE AT THIS TIME.
10:26:26AM THE CURRENT SCOPE OF WORK IS $45,000.
10:26:30AM AND THAT IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FLORIDA HOUSING
10:26:33AM COALITION.
10:26:33AM AND I THINK ADMINISTRATOR TRAVIS PRESENTED BACK IN JUNE AS
10:26:38AM WELL THAT THE CITY WILL COMMIT TO FUTURE HOUSING FUNDS OF
10:26:41AM SUPPORTING A LAND TRUST AND CAPACITY BUILDING AS WELL.
10:26:44AM AND LOOKING AT THESE FINAL TWO PHASES OF YOUR LAND TRUST AND
10:26:48AM THE IMPLEMENTATION.
10:26:49AM WE ARE LOOKING TO OPERATIONALIZE THE LAND TRUST 20 TO 24
10:26:54AM WEEKS.
10:26:54AM IT IS A PROCESS.
10:26:56AM FOR US SETTING THE EXPECTATIONS AND GOING THROUGH TO
10:27:00AM FINALIZE ALL THE BYLAWS AND THE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE OF
10:27:05AM THE CLT.
10:27:06AM WE WANT TO DEVELOP A RESELL FORMULA BECAUSE THE RESELL
10:27:11AM FORMULA IS CRITICAL OF UNDERSTANDING THE PARTICIPATION AND
10:27:15AM VALUE THAT AN OWNER WILL RECEIVE ONCE THEY BUY INTO THE LAND
10:27:18AM TRUST AS WELL.
10:27:21AM SO, AGAIN, WE WILL FOCUS HEAVILY ON A SUB CITY DEE ANALYSIS
10:27:26AM OF PHASE TWO AND WILL ALLOW US TO LOOK AT THE LAND ASSETS,
10:27:31AM GRANT FUNDING, AND ALSO THE CITY AND CRA AVAILABLE FUNDING
10:27:37AM LOOKING AT THAT AS A WHOLE OF HOW TO OPERATIONALIZE A LAND
10:27:43AM TRUST RECRUITING A BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO COME OUT AND DO THE
10:27:47AM WORK.
10:27:47AM WITH THE CLT, THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A SET OF EXPERTS THAT SIT
10:27:53AM BESIDE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE CLT.
10:27:56AM SO INITIALLY THE SET-UP IS A ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF FOUR
10:28:01AM PEOPLE THAT WILL WILL THEN BUILD UP -- THE REST OF THAT
10:28:04AM ADVISORY BOARD COLLECTIVELY HAVING LOW-INCOME,
10:28:11AM MODERATE-INCOME RESIDENTS ON THE BOARD DEPENDING WHAT
10:28:15AM THE BYLAWS STATE.
10:28:16AM LASTLY PHASE 3 IS A IMPLEMENTATION PIECE.
10:28:20AM I HAVE THE ASTERISK.
10:28:22AM PART IS 16 WEEKS.
10:28:24AM WANT TO CONTINUE TO MOVE PRETTY RAPIDLY OF STANDING OUT
10:28:29AM THE CLT.
10:28:29AM A NEED TO ESTABLISH A NOT-FOR-PROFIT, AND A PIECE OF THE
10:28:36AM PROGRAM PLANNING AND CREATING THE OPERATIONAL.
10:28:39AM AND ONE OF THE KEY PIECE IS HIRING A EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR
10:28:46AM THE CLT.
10:28:47AM STANDING IT UP IS IMPORTANT OF BEING ABLE TO FIND THAT
10:28:52AM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
10:28:52AM STAFF HAS LOOKED AT DIFFERENT MODELS AND WE HAVE SEEN WHERE
10:28:57AM THE CLT WAS ABLE TO GO FORWARD OPERATIONALLY WITHOUT A
10:29:01AM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND COMPONENT IN PLACE TO MAKE IT MOVE
10:29:04AM FORWARD UNTIL YOU FIND THE RIGHT PERSON TO FILL THE ROLE,
10:29:07AM BUT TYPICALLY THAT 16-WEEK TIMELINE IS DEPENDING ON THE
10:29:12AM HIRING OF THAT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
10:29:13AM REALLY WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH A FEW TAKEAWAYS AND NEXT STEPS
10:29:18AM WHERE WE GO.
10:29:19AM I SHARED WITH YOU THE TIMELINE OVER THE NEXT 40 WEEKS TO SET
10:29:22AM UP AND FINALIZE THE CLT.
10:29:25AM WE ARE LOOKING FOR SUPPORT FOR THE RECOMMENDED STRUCTURE
10:29:28AM THAT WE HAVE FOR THE CLT TO BE A STAND-ALONE ENTITY.
10:29:32AM AND ALSO SOMETHING WE HAVE SEEN THAT WORKED IN OTHER CITIES,
10:29:35AM PARTICULARLY IN JACKSON WHERE THE MUNICIPALITY OF THE BODY
10:29:39AM HAS ADOPTED A FIRST OPTION POLICY FOR THE CLT TO HAVE ACCESS
10:29:44AM TO PROPERTY THAT IS ACQUIRED BY THE CITY AND A BASE AND
10:29:51AM ASSETS TO DO ITS JOB AND PRIORITIZE THE AFFORDABLE PEACE.
10:29:56AM AND THEN, AGAIN, JUST REALLY LEVERAGING THOSE ASSETS AND
10:30:02AM CONSIDER FUNDING WITH CAPACITY BUILDING FOR THE LAND TRUST
10:30:07AM ONCE IT IS ESTABLISHED.
10:30:09AM AS A BOARD YOU HAVE SET UP AND SET ASIDE 30% OF YOUR FUNDING
10:30:13AM TO ADDRESS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
10:30:15AM DID THAT IN FISCAL YEAR '23.
10:30:18AM WE HAVEN'T MADE ANY COMMITMENTS BEYOND THAT.
10:30:21AM AND YOU WANT TO THINK OF IN THE FUTURE HOW TO ALLOCATE THOSE
10:30:24AM FUNDS AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PORTION OF THE CLT FUNDING TO
10:30:28AM SET ASIDE TO SUPPORT THE OPERATIONS OF THE CLT.
10:30:34AM I WILL STOP THERE AND STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE
10:30:37AM ANY OR COMMENTS.
10:30:38AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER GUDES.
10:30:42AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE ARE TALKING OF A FULL YEAR BEFORE
10:30:45AM OPERATIONAL SET-UP.
10:30:46AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: APPROXIMATELY, THAT'S RIGHT.
10:30:48AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE OUTLINE THAT
10:30:52AM YOU PRESENTED THAT THIS IS GOING TO MOVE US TO WHERE WE NEED
10:30:55AM TO BE?
10:30:57AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: I DO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
10:30:59AM THE HOUSING COULD HE HISS -- FAR BE IT FOR ME TO BE A LAND
10:31:03AM TRUST EXPERT.
10:31:04AM HOUSING COALITION IS OUR EXPERT AND THEY ARE THE EXPERT
10:31:08AM GROUP AND SHARED THE TIMELINE AND CAPACITY BUILDING OF
10:31:11AM ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
10:31:12AM WE ARE VERY GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO AND I AM COMFORTABLE WITH
10:31:16AM THE TIMELINE.
10:31:18AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: THE REASON I SAY THAT, BECAUSE WHEN I WENT
10:31:20AM ON THE TRIP TO CHICAGO, IT WAS A VERY WORTHWHILE TRIP AND
10:31:26AM THAT IS WHERE I LEARNED ABOUT THE LAND TRUST.
10:31:29AM WHERE I LEARNED ABOUT IT.
10:31:31AM OTHER PLACES ARE DOING WELL WITH IT.
10:31:33AM OTHER PLACES IN FLORIDA ARE DOING VERY WELL WITH IT AS WELL.
10:31:36AM I THINK A KEY FUNCTION AND HOPEFULLY -- I TRUST WHAT MR.
10:31:41AM DRUMGO IS SAYING AND HE AND MISS TRAVIS HAVE NOT LED US
10:31:46AM WRONG YET.
10:31:47AM THEY HAVE BEEN UP-FRONT AND SUPPORTIVE.
10:31:52AM AND I WILL BE WILLING TO SUPPORT IT.
10:31:53AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER CARLSON.
10:31:56AM >>BILL CARLSON: TWO OR THREE QUESTIONS MAINLY FOR MORRIS.
10:32:00AM WHEN THIS IS -- WHEN THE MONEY FROM THE CITY OR CR APUT INTO
10:32:06AM THIS NONPROFIT, BY LAW, WE DON'T HAVE ANY INFLUENCE.
10:32:13AM WE DON'T HAVE ANY DIRECT INFLUENCE OVER THE NONPROFIT?
10:32:16AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: CORRECT.
10:32:17AM THIS WILL ALL HAVE TO BE SET OUT.
10:32:19AM AND WE WOULD HAVE TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
10:32:26AM NOT-FOR-PROFIT AGENCY OF WORK OUT THE TERMS WHO TO YOU GIVE
10:32:31AM MONEY AND WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS WILL BE.
10:32:33AM THAT IS HOW WE WOULD GOVERN IT.
10:32:35AM >>BILL CARLSON: SINCE THEY MADE END UP INVOLVING 99-YEAR
10:32:40AM LEASES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
10:32:41AM CALLED A "TRUST" BUT SOME FORMAL LEGAL ENTITY THAT THIS
10:32:46AM NONPROFIT WOULD HOLD OR THAT IT WOULD PUT -- THAT WE WOULD
10:32:51AM PUT THE MONEY INTO.
10:32:52AM AN ACTUAL KIND OF TRUST OF HOW THE PROPERTY USED AND
10:32:57AM DISPOSED OF?
10:32:59AM >> YES, WHOLE IDEA IS THE INDEPENDENT ENTITY WOULD BE
10:33:03AM ESSENTIALLY THE LAND TRUST AND THE PROPERTY OWNED BY THE
10:33:05AM LAND TRUST AND SUBJECT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY AND
10:33:09AM THE CRA.
10:33:10AM AND WOULD ALSO -- ALSO HAVE TO OPERATE SO THAT LONG TERM,
10:33:16AM THE PROPERTY WILL BE OWNED BY THE LAND TRUST.
10:33:19AM I THINK THE CONCEPT IS THAT YOU WOULD THEN GIVE THESE
10:33:23AM LONG-TERM GROUND LEASES AKIN TO THE OWNERSHIP SO IT IS NOT
10:33:28AM QUITE BUT CLOSE.
10:33:31AM >> THE ART OF THE STEAL OR ANY OF THE CASES ON PEOPLE HAVE
10:33:38AM ESTATES WHO PUT -- DIRECTED STATES AND THEN HAVE WAYS TO
10:33:43AM WORK AROUND THEM.
10:33:44AM IS THERE ANY KIND OF LEGAL PROTECTION WITH A PARTICULAR KIND
10:33:48AM OF ENTITY WE WOULD PUT THIS IN.
10:33:50AM IF WE JUST PUT A MONEY IN NONPROFIT, SOMEBODY COULD
10:33:53AM EVENTUALLY TAKE OVER THE NONPROFIT, CHANGE IT AND OWN THE
10:33:57AM PROPERTY, RIGHT.
10:33:57AM SOME SPECIAL PROTECTION THAT WILL LAST MORE THAN 100 YEARS?
10:34:02AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: TYPICALLY WHAT WE WOULD DO -- MORE THAN 100
10:34:05AM YEARS, I AM NOT SURE.
10:34:06AM I WOULD HAVE TO GO -- WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
10:34:10AM RULES AGAINST PERPETUITY.
10:34:14AM AND WHAT YOU ARE AGENCY IS LONG TERM WE ARE GIVING THIS
10:34:17AM PROPERTY AND MONEY TO YOU ALL TO OPERATE FOR THERE ARE
10:34:20AM SPECIFIC PURPOSE, FOR INSTANCE, WHENEVER WE PARTNER WITH A
10:34:25AM DEVELOPER WHO IS PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS AS PART
10:34:28AM OF THE PROJECT.
10:34:29AM WE OPPOSE COVENANT RESTRICTIONS SAYING WE ARE GIVING YOU
10:34:36AM THIS MONEY OR DOING FOR THIS SPECIFIC PURPOSE, AND IN TURN,
10:34:39AM YOU WILL GUARANTEE THAT THE UNITS WILL BE LEASED, SOLD OR
10:34:43AM CONVEYED TO PEOPLE WHO MEET CERTAIN INCOME RESTRICTIONS AND
10:34:49AM STAYS AT AN AFFORDABLE LEVEL.
10:34:50AM WITH THE LAND TRUST, I THINK THAT THE THING THAT MR. DRUMGO
10:34:56AM MENTIONED WAS THE RESALE PROVISION.
10:34:58AM FOLKS WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONVEY THEIR GROUND LEASE TO OTHER
10:35:02AM FOLKS.
10:35:03AM BUT THERE HAS TO BE A SET FORMULA THAT WHEN THEY BUY INTO
10:35:07AM THE LAND TRUST THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THAT THEY CAN'T GO
10:35:14AM ABOVE AND THE PERCENTAGE LEVEL TO KEEP THE PRICE OF THAT
10:35:17AM UNIT AFFORDABLE AND THAT IT IS OWNED BY FOLKS OF CERTAIN
10:35:22AM INCOME RESTRICTIONS.
10:35:23AM >>BILL CARLSON: YOU TALKED OF THE LAW OF PERPETUITY THAT I
10:35:26AM HAVEN'T HEARD OF.
10:35:27AM AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT OFF-LINE.
10:35:30AM BUT SET IT UP TO HAVE 99-YEAR LEASES?
10:35:33AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: YES.
10:35:35AM >>BILL CARLSON: MY OTHER QUESTION.
10:35:36AM ONCE THE INITIAL BOARD IS ESTABLISHED, IT WILL BE
10:35:40AM SELF-GOVERNING?
10:35:41AM WHO WILL PICK THE BOARD MEMBERS.
10:35:43AM MY OTHER QUESTION WHO WILL PICK THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND
10:35:47AM BOARD.
10:35:48AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: SUBJECT TO WHAT WILL DRUMGO PUTS TOGETHER.
10:35:54AM ALL FINANCED BY THE CITIAND THE CRA, THE CRA AND THE CITY
10:36:01AM WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE HOW IT WORKS.
10:36:02AM IT WILL BE SELF-PERPETUATING PERHAPS.
10:36:07AM MA I CAN NOT.
10:36:08AM CERTAIN MEMBERS ON THE BOARD SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY YOU ALL
10:36:12AM AS CRA AND THE CITY.
10:36:14AM SIMPLE WAYS TO SET IT UP.
10:36:17AM PART OF WHAT MR. DRUMGO WILL COME FORGET AND IF PRESENT TO
10:36:23AM YOU AS A PACKAGE.
10:36:24AM DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
10:36:25AM >>BILL CARLSON: ULTIMATELY -- MY LAST COMMENT OR QUESTION.
10:36:29AM YOU WILL ULTIMATELY ITS OWN NONPROFIT AND WE ARE PART OF THE
10:36:33AM CITY AND CRA.
10:36:34AM WE KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT THE PUBLIC WANTS TO KNOW WHAT
10:36:38AM IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CRA AND THE CITY.
10:36:41AM TO THE EXTENT THAT THE CITY IS PARTICIPATING IN THIS AND
10:36:45AM CO-MINGLING FUNDS, I WILL ASK THAT WE SEPARATELY IDENTIFY
10:36:50AM THE CRA.
10:36:51AM AS YOU ARE PUTTING IT TOGETHER AND ESTABLISHING AN INITIAL
10:36:55AM BOARD.
10:36:55AM NOT LIKE CITY COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR APPOINTING PEOPLE.
10:36:58AM IT IS THE CITY AND CRA BOARD.
10:37:01AM CITY COUNCIL MAY ALSO HAVE SOME INITIAL APPOINTMENTS.
10:37:09AM WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE SET THIS UP.
10:37:11AM DIVERSE AND DOES NOT REPRESENT ANY PARTICULAR INTEREST,
10:37:14AM ESPECIALLY CORPORATE INTEREST.
10:37:16AM AND WE NEED TO SET IT UP SO IT IS NOT POLITICAL.
10:37:20AM IF THERE ARE APPOINTEES FOR THE INITIAL BOARD, WE NEED TO
10:37:24AM MAKE SURE THERE IS ONE FOR EVERY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND OR
10:37:29AM CRA BOARD MEMBER.
10:37:30AM IF THE MAYOR HAS APPOINTEES, WE NEED TO DO THAT.
10:37:35AM WE NEED TO MAKE SURE IT REPRESENTS THE DIVERSITY OF THE
10:37:39AM COMMUNITY.
10:37:39AM IF ONE PERSON PICKS THE BOARD AND NOBODY FROM NEW COMPANY,
10:37:43AM WEST TAMPA OR SOUTH TAMPA, WE DON'T HAVE GEOGRAPHIC
10:37:48AM DIVERSITY IN IT.
10:37:49AM WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE INITIAL BOARD IS SET UP FOR
10:37:53AM SUCCESS.
10:37:53AM AND NOT INFLUENCED BY NONPROFITS OR PARTICULAR AGENCIES THAT
10:37:59AM MAY BE WORKING ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
10:38:01AM IMPORTANT THAT IT BE INDEPENDENT AND PARTNER WITH THESE
10:38:04AM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND SHOULDN'T PROVIDE ANY PREV PRESENCE
10:38:07AM FOR ANY OF THEM.
10:38:08AM A LOT OF NONPROFITS, FOR PROFITS, OTHERS THAT ARE TRYING
10:38:11AM BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS OF RIGHT NOW, NOT ALIGNING IT TO
10:38:18AM ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION.
10:38:19AM WE NEED TO PROTECT ITS INDEPENDENCE AND NEUTRALITY.
10:38:23AM THANK YOU.
10:38:24AM >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS?
10:38:29AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: IF I MAY AND I WILL SPEAK TO WHAT ATTORNEY
10:38:32AM MASSEY SAID.
10:38:32AM YOU KNOW, WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS IN A WAY THAT WE DON'T --
10:38:35AM WE DON'T HAVE A SET OF BYLAWS THAT WILL, YOU KNOW, CREATE
10:38:40AM ANY CONFLICT.
10:38:41AM SO WE ARE LOOKING AT STRUCTURES THAT WILL ALLOW US TO SELECT
10:38:45AM A BOARD WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT APPOINTEES FROM THE
10:38:49AM MAYOR OR THE COUNCIL.
10:38:51AM PULL THIS BOARD TOGETHER INITIALLY IN A WAY TO FILL ITSELF
10:38:55AM OUT.
10:38:56AM THE GOAL IS TO PICK A SET OF EXPERTS FROM SPECIFIC AREAS
10:39:00AM THAT REPRESENT -- OR WOULD CONTRIBUTE MIGHTILY TO THE
10:39:04AM SUCCESS TO THE CLT ONCE IT GETS OFF THE GROUND.
10:39:11AM YOU MADE GREAT POINTS, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:39:14AM YOU ARE LOOKING AT THAT AND GET THAT DRAFTED BY BYLAWS.
10:39:19AM ONCE WE MEET WITH HOUSING COALITION AND WILL WORK THROUGH
10:39:22AM HOW WE HAMMER OUT THE TIMELINE FOR PHASE TWO.
10:39:25AM WE ARE COMING UP WITH THE FINAL DOCUMENTS.
10:39:27AM I CAN COME BACK AND PRESENT THE FINAL DRAFT -- OR THE FINAL
10:39:31AM DRAFT OF THOSE DOCUMENTS TO YOU SO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE
10:39:35AM ORGANIZATION WILL BE STRUCTURED AND ONCE WE STAND IT UP, OF
10:39:39AM COURSE, YOU WILL BE AWARE OF THE TIMELINE FOR THAT PROCESS
10:39:42AM AS WELL.
10:39:42AM KELL KEEP YOU WELL INFORMED.
10:39:44AM I DON'T NEED A MOTION.
10:39:47AM THIS IS ALL INFORMATIONAL.
10:39:49AM TIMELINE IS 40 WEEKS TO GET THROUGH THE END OF THIS PROCESS,
10:39:53AM BUT WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU IN THE NEXT SIX WEEKS BEFORE WE
10:39:56AM HIT PHASE THREE AND READY TO STAND IT UP.
10:39:58AM >>LYNN HURTAK: ABSOLUTELY.
10:40:01AM >>BILL CARLSON: ONE LAST THING.
10:40:04AM CITIES IN EUROPE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT HARVARD SQUARE IN BOSTON.
10:40:08AM PLACES LIKE SINGAPORE.
10:40:10AM THEY THINK IN HUNDREDS OF YEARS INSTEAD OF FIVE TO TEN
10:40:14AM YEARS.
10:40:14AM WE HAVE DISCUSSIONS HERE WHETHER TO HAVE 2030-YEAR PLANS AND
10:40:18AM PEOPLE THINK THIS IS TOO FAR TO LOOK.
10:40:20AM OTHER CITIES HAVE LOOKING 200 TO 300 YEARS IN THE FUTURE.
10:40:24AM WE DON'T KNOW WHAT EVERYTHING WILL BE LIKE, BUT WE REALLY
10:40:28AM NEED THAT LONG-TERM PLAN ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE 99-YEAR
10:40:32AM LEASES.
10:40:33AM WE ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO TRUST US THAT WE ARE GOING TO
10:40:35AM PROTECT THE LAND UNDERNEATH THE HOUSE THEY ARE GOING TO
10:40:38AM BUILD.
10:40:39AM AND DEVELOPERS IF THEY BUILD MULTISTORY.
10:40:44AM WE NEED TO NOT THINK OF FIVE TO TEN YEARS BUT 200 YEARS AND
10:40:47AM MAY BE SOME LEGAL RESTRICTIONS HOW WE CAN DO THAT.
10:40:50AM BUT WE NEED TO HAVE A VERY HAVE VERY LONG-TERM VIEW.
10:40:54AM THANK YOU.
10:40:54AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: THANK YOU.
10:40:57AM I WILL PRESENT TO YOU THE SECOND HALF OF THE MOTION WHICH IS
10:41:00AM -- WE ARE LOOKING AT THE LAND PIECE, RIGHT.
10:41:02AM SO I THINK THE BOARD WAS ASKING STAFF TO COME BACK WITH A
10:41:10AM VIEW OF SURPLUS PROPERTY TO BE UTILIZED FOR AFFORDABLE
10:41:13AM HOUSING SO I WILL JUST GO OVER HERE AND GIVE YOU BACKGROUND
10:41:22AM HOW WE TAKE THE LIST OF PROPERTY THAT THE CITY OWNS AND
10:41:25AM TURNED IT INTO A MAPPING COMPONENT AND DASHBOARD THAT I WILL
10:41:31AM PRESENT TO YOU WHEN I WRAP UP.
10:41:34AM A PERCEPTION THAT THE CITY OWNS A TON OF PROPERTY.
10:41:37AM THEY ARE NOT WRONG, BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS READILY AVAILABLE
10:41:41AM TO THE PUBLIC AND NO SPACE WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL CAN GO TO
10:41:44AM REALLY LOOK AT WHAT THE PROPERTY -- THE PROPERTY THAT THE
10:41:46AM CITY OWNS.
10:41:48AM SO, BY STATUTE, WE ARE ACTUALLY REQUIRED TO PUBLISH A LIST
10:41:52AM OF PROPERTIES THAT WE INTEND TO DESIGNATE FOR AFFORDABLE
10:41:57AM HOUSING EVERY THREE YEARS.
10:41:58AM WE HAVE REALLY YET TO DO THAT.
10:42:00AM WHEN WE STARTED ON THIS PROCESS, WE WANTED TO END AT THAT
10:42:03AM LIST AS A FINAL PRODUCT SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE FUNNEL HERE.
10:42:10AM THE REAL ESTATE DEPARTMENT.
10:42:11AM I WANT TO COMMEND REAL ESTATE DIRECTOR MICHELLE VAN LOAN
10:42:15AM WITH THE WORK SHE PUT ON THIS.
10:42:17AM A SUM OF 4,000 RECORDS.
10:42:19AM ALL CITY PROPERTIES AND FILTER THAT DOWN AND WHITTLED IT
10:42:22AM DOWN TO GET US TO A LIST OF ABOUT 32 PARCELS.
10:42:26AM THE WAY WE SIFTED THROUGH THIS, WE TOOK OUT ALL THE PARKING
10:42:30AM LOTS, ALL THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS, ALL THE ALLEYS.
10:42:32AM WE ELIMINATED THOSE PROPERTIES WITH CITY FACILITIES ON THEM
10:42:36AM OR WITH STRUCTURES ON THEM BEING UTILIZED WITH OPERATIONS.
10:42:39AM WE ALSO ELIMINATED THE PARTSR STORMWATER PONDS, DRAINAGE
10:42:44AM AREAS, AND FROM THERE WE REMOVED ANY PROPERTIES BEING LEASED
10:42:50AM TO THIRD PARTIES.
10:42:50AM AND THEN WE REMOVED ANY PROPERTIES DESIGNATED FOR FUTURE
10:42:55AM USE, INFRASTRUCTURE, MOBILITY PURPOSES.
10:42:57AM ANY PROPERTIES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS OR PROPERTIES WE
10:43:04AM CALL ECONOMIC REMAINDERS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY TOO SMALL FOR
10:43:08AM DEVELOPMENT.
10:43:09AM WITH THAT, WE ENDED UP WITH A LIST THAT WE SAT DOWN AND WE
10:43:13AM DID AN ADMINISTRATOR REVIEW.
10:43:16AM TO BE COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT OF THE PROCESS, WE HAD 101
10:43:21AM PROPERTIES ON THE LIST WHEN WE GOT TO THE END OF THE LIST
10:43:24AM BUT YOU ONLY SEE 32 IS WHAT WE DEEM READY TO GO FOR
10:43:27AM AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
10:43:29AM PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE -- WE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID 34
10:43:37AM PROPERTIES BETTER SUITED WITH ACQUISITION OF ADDITIONAL
10:43:40AM PROPERTY OR BETTER UTILIZED FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
10:43:43AM PURPOSES.
10:43:43AM WE THOUGHT IT WAS BENEFICIAL TO HOLD THAT PROPERTY OFF THE
10:43:47AM LIST, OKAY.
10:43:48AM THERE WERE 17 PROPERTIES THAT WE HAD THAT WILL BE UTILIZED
10:43:51AM FOR THE INFILL 3 PROGRAM THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING THIS
10:43:56AM SPRING.
10:43:56AM AND LASTLY 18 PROPERTIES.
10:44:00AM TOO MANY CHALLENGES WHETHER IT BE ZONING OR DIFFERENT --
10:44:04AM DIFFERENT ADJACENT USES THAT WE SAW SOME CONFLICTS OR HAD
10:44:09AM CONFLICTS WITH TITLES AND SO.
10:44:11AM WE DIDN'T WANT TO INTEGRATE THOSE PROPERTIES BECAUSE WE FELT
10:44:14AM IT WOULD HAVE TOO MANY CHALLENGE TO DES EGG NATE FOR THIS
10:44:18AM LIST FOR THIS PURPOSE AT THIS I'M.
10:44:20AM WITH THAT, WE BROUGHT IT DOWN TO 32.
10:44:23AM AND I WILL -- I WILL -- I WILL PREPARE TO EXIT THE
10:44:28AM PRESENTATION TO SHOW YOU A PLAN MAP OF THE DASHBOARD.
10:44:31AM BUT, YOU KNOW, PART OF THIS PROCESS IN PRESENTING THIS LIST
10:44:34AM TO YOU TODAY AND PRESENTING THE MAP FOR YOU TODAY, TO GET TO
10:44:37AM THE END GOAL OF ADOPTING A FORMAL LIST.
10:44:40AM SO THE STEPS IN THAT PROCESS HERE.
10:44:43AM WHAT WE RECOMMEND TO YOU AND IDEALLY, YOU WILL ULTIMATELY
10:44:47AM COME BACK TO COUNCIL AND PRESENT THE INFORMATION TO YOU AS
10:44:50AM COUNCIL.
10:44:50AM SET IT FOR PUBLIC HEARING, COME UP WITH A TIME LIST AND
10:44:55AM ADOPT ADOPT IT WITH A RESOLUTION.
10:44:56AM I WILL EXIT THE PRESENTATION NOW AND SHOW YOU THE DASHBOARD
10:45:00AM THAT WE DEVELOPED UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO STOP FOR SOME
10:45:04AM QUESTIONS.
10:45:04AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER MANISCALCO.
10:45:06AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHEN YOU SAY 32 PROPERTIES READY TO GO.
10:45:08AM JUST FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES OR LARGE ENOUGH TO BE DUPLEXES,
10:45:13AM TRIPLEXES?
10:45:14AM WHAT IS THE SIZE OF -- WHAT ARE THE SIZE AS THAT ARE
10:45:17AM AVAILABLE.
10:45:19AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: THEY VARY.
10:45:20AM THEY VARY.
10:45:21AM SO I THINK WE CAN HAVE A COMBINATION OF THOSE.
10:45:24AM I CAN GET YOU ALL A DISTRIBUTION OF WHAT WE PROJECTED AS THE
10:45:27AM NUMBER OF UNITS WE MAY OBTAIN, BUT ULTIMATELY SOME OF THEM
10:45:32AM HAVE TREES ON THEM AND OTHER SITE ANALYSISES THAT NEEDS TO
10:45:37AM BE COMPLETED AND BEST SUITED FOR A DEVELOPER TO DETERMINE.
10:45:40AM WE CAN GIVE YOU A ROUGH ESTIMATION WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
10:45:44AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
10:45:49AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: ALL RIGHT.
10:45:50AM LET ME EXIT HERE.
10:45:51AM HERE IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE DASHBOARD.
10:45:57AM OKAY.
10:45:58AM JUST TO GIVE YOU -- WALK YOU THROUGH IT REALLY QUICKLY.
10:46:01AM TO YOUR -- TO THE LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A
10:46:04AM BREAK DOWN OF CITY OWNED LOTS AND THE 32 THAT WE WHITTLE IT
10:46:10AM DOWN TO.
10:46:10AM WE BROKEN IT OUT BY CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT AND ALSO SOME
10:46:15AM ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS I HAVE HERE ON THE MAP AND WILL GO
10:46:18AM THROUGH SOME OF THESE LAYERS HERE.
10:46:20AM BUT WE CAN TURN ON THE VARIOUS OVERLAY DISTRICTS SO THAT ANY
10:46:24AM PERSON LOOKING AT THIS MAP CAN ALSO SEE WHERE THERE MIGHT BE
10:46:27AM ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA.
10:46:29AM AND I CAN TOGGLE THOSE ON AND OFF.
10:46:34AM THEY ARE ALSO ABLE TO SEE -- SEE THE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS
10:46:38AM IF WE BROKE THEM OUT.
10:46:39AM TO SHOW BY DISTRICT WHERE THOSE PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED AND
10:46:47AM ALSO THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA AS WELL SO ANY PERSON
10:46:50AM INTERESTED WOULD KNOW IF IT WAS SITTING IN A CRA AREA.
10:46:59AM IF ANYONE WAS CURIOUS ENOUGH TO CLICK ON ONE PARTICULAR
10:47:03AM PROPERTY, RECEIVE THE ADDRESS, THE COUNCIL DISTRICT, THE CRA
10:47:06AM INFORMATION.
10:47:07AM WHETHER OR NOT THE PROPERTY WAS ACQUIRED WITH SOME CRA
10:47:11AM FUNDING AND WHETHER OR NOT IN AN OPPORTUNITY ZONE, THE
10:47:14AM CENSUS TRACT SAND THE ZONING ON THE PROPERTY WITH LOT SIZES.
10:47:21AM BASIC INFORMATION FOR ANYONE WANTING TO DEVELOP THESE
10:47:26AM PROPERTIESND A DASHBOARD AND ALSO FOR STAFF.
10:47:29AM AS WE ACQUIRE THIS LIST AND ACQUIRE PROPERTY, WE CAN UPDATE
10:47:33AM THIS LIST ANNUALLY AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU AS A COUNCIL TO
10:47:38AM ANNUALLY ADOPT THIS LIST OF PROPERTIES THAT WE INTEND TO
10:47:41AM MAKE AVAILABLE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
10:47:43AM SO THAT DOES CONCLUDE IT.
10:47:46AM AND I WILL STAKE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE MAPPING IF YOU ALL
10:47:51AM HAVE ANY.
10:47:52AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION.
10:47:53AM WOULDN'T THESE BE PROPERTIES THAT WE WILL TARGET TO GO INTO
10:47:58AM THE LAND TRUST?
10:48:00AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: YOU COULD.
10:48:00AM YOU COULD PROVIDE THE PROPERTY FOR THE LAND TRUST I WILL
10:48:10AM REFER TO ATTORNEY MASSEY BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WILL STOP
10:48:15AM LAND USE PURPOSES.
10:48:16AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: THAT'S CORRECT.
10:48:17AM IF ANY OF THESE PROPERTIES HAVE TO COME TO YOU BEFORE IT IS
10:48:20AM DISPOSED OF.
10:48:21AM AND IF THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY
10:48:24AM REDEVELOPMENT AREA, WE WOULD HAVE TO DO AN RFP BY STATE LAW
10:48:29AM IF WE ARE TO DISPOSE OF THE LAND.
10:48:31AM PUTTING IT ON THE LIST DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE OUT OF THE
10:48:36AM DOOR TOLD THAT THOUGHT FOR JUST A SECOND.
10:48:43AM BEFORE WE GET RID OF LAND THAT THE CITY OWNS, WE HAVE TO PUT
10:48:46AM IT THROUGH A RFP?
10:48:50AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: BY STATE LAW, ANY LAND -- WE LOST.
10:48:52AM THIS IS DA CASE THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA WAS DIRECTLY INVOLVED
10:48:56AM WITH.
10:48:57AM ANY PROPERTY OWNED BY THE CITY OR THE CRA AND ANY ENTITY
10:49:01AM LOCATED WITHIN A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AREA HAS TO BE A RFP
10:49:05AM AREA, A NOTICE BEFORE WE CAN ENTERER A CONTRACT TO CONVEY
10:49:11AM THE PROPERTY.
10:49:12AM >>LYNN HURTAK: CURIOUS BECAUSE I HAD A LOT OF PHONE CALLS
10:49:15AM ABOUT THIS RECENTLY.
10:49:16AM WHAT ABOUT JUST GETTING RID OF LAND THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY
10:49:24AM IN THE CRA.
10:49:26AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: WE HAVE A LAND DISPOSITION PROPERTY AND
10:49:29AM BREAKS DOWN BASED ON CATEGORIES.
10:49:31AM IF A GENERAL MARKETING PIECE OF PROPERTY, WE REQUIRE IN OUR
10:49:35AM LAND PROPERTY THAT IT BE A RFP.
10:49:38AM IF IT IS AN ECONOMIC REMAINDER, WE GIVE PREFERENCE TO
10:49:42AM PROPERTY OWNER WHO OWN THE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO IT AND IT
10:49:45AM DOESN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE RFP PROCESS.
10:49:48AM IF WE ARE LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING OUTSIDE OF THE CRA,
10:49:52AM WE CAN NEGOTIATE SPECIFICALLY WITH THAT DEVELOPER AND NOT
10:49:55AM HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE RFP PROCESS.
10:50:02AM >>LYNN HURTAK: GENERALLY SPEAKING WE SHOULDN'T -- I MEAN, I
10:50:05AM HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT PARTICULAR PROPERTIES THAT HAVE --
10:50:10AM THAT WERE BASICALLY GIVEN AWAY FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR BY
10:50:17AM EXECUTIVE ORDER.
10:50:21AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: THE CITY, ANY CONVEYANCE OF CITY PROPERTY
10:50:24AM BY DEED OR CONTRACT HAVE TO COME BEFORE YOU ALL, CITY
10:50:27AM COUNCIL.
10:50:27AM IT CAN'T HAPPEN UNLESS THAT IS PRESENTED TO YOU ALL.
10:50:30AM AND THERE IS A POLICY IN PLACE WHERE THAT IS HOW IT IS
10:50:35AM SUPPOSED TO BE DEALT WITH.
10:50:42AM >>LYNN HURTAK: SUPPOSED TO BE.
10:50:43AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: THE MAYOR CANNOT JUST SIGN IT BY EXECUTIVE
10:50:47AM ORDER.
10:50:47AM IT JUST HAS TO COME TO YOU ALL.
10:50:50AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER CARLSON.
10:50:53AM >>BILL CARLSON: I DON'T KNOW THAT HAS HAPPENED SO MUCH UNDER
10:50:55AM THIS ADMINISTRATION, BUT WHEN WE FIRST STARTED, THEY WERE
10:50:59AM TRICKLING THROUGH BEFORE THIS ADMINISTRATION HAD FULLY TAKEN
10:51:02AM OVER.
10:51:02AM EARLY THERE WAS -- ON -- I THINK THE PERCENTAGE AGED CAN'T
10:51:09AM REMEMBER THE DETAILS, BUT THERE WAS A CONTRACT TO DISPOSE OF
10:51:14AM THREE SINGLE-FAMILY PROPERTIES IN EAST TAMPA AND ONLY ONE
10:51:21AM BIDDER AND THE BID WAS ZERO.
10:51:23AM AFTER WE APPROVED AT THIS CALLED SEVER OF THE NONPROFIT HOME
10:51:27AM ORGANIZATIONS AND THEY SAID WE DIDN'T IT WAS AVAILABLE.
10:51:30AM THAT GOT BACK TO MY ARGUMENTS IN THE BEGINNING THAT WE NEED
10:51:33AM TO ADVERTISE RFPs AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT.
10:51:41AM I DON'T KNOW IF THIS ADMINISTRATION -- ARGUMENT OF RFP.
10:51:46AM IF YOU HAVE A RFP AND DON'T ADVERTISE IT AND THEN ONLY ONE
10:51:51AM BIDDER COMES IN.
10:51:52AM WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WHATEVER RFPs WE DO ARE COMPLETELY
10:51:56AM ADVERTISED IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO IN A LAND TRUST AND INVEST
10:52:04AM A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY WE CAN INVEST IT IN AFFORDABLE
10:52:07AM HOUSING.
10:52:07AM I THINK THAT HAS STOPPED UNLESS SOMEONE KNOW OF A RECENT
10:52:10AM CASE.
10:52:10AM I WANT TO ASK A DIFFERENT QUESTION SO APPARENTLY LIKE TWO
10:52:17AM SETS OF REAL ESTATE LISTS.
10:52:19AM LIKE AFFORDABLE HOME LIST AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER
10:52:22AM PROPERTY.
10:52:22AM SORRY IF YOU KIND OF ALLUDED TO THIS.
10:52:26AM BUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER PROPERTIES THAT THE CITY OWNS
10:52:32AM THAT COULD BECOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING LIKE ROME YARD.
10:52:34AM THAT ONE WAS ACTUALLY OCCUPIED AND THE CITY MOVED THE
10:52:38AM FACILITY.
10:52:39AM OTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY ANOTHER LIST OF PROPERTIES THAT THE
10:52:44AM CITY OWNS THAT ARE NOT BEING USED OR UNDERUTILIZE THAT COULD
10:52:49AM BE SHIFTED TO THE OTHER COLUMN OR DID YOU LOOK AT BOTH?
10:52:54AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: WE DID NOT LOOK AT PROPERTIES WITH FACILITIES
10:52:56AM CURRENTLY ON THEM.
10:52:57AM WHEN WE VETTED THIS LIST, OUR GOAL WAS TO REDUCE THE LIST
10:53:01AM AND MOVE THE PROPERTIES OUT.
10:53:02AM FROM AN OPERATIONAL DIDN'T, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING,
10:53:07AM IF IT IS UNDERUTILIZED COULD IT HAVE ANOTHER USE.
10:53:10AM WE ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR PROPERTY TO USE FOR COUNTY
10:53:15AM OPERATIONS.
10:53:15AM CARVING OUT A PIECE WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ADDITIONAL
10:53:18AM REVIEWS.
10:53:19AM I THINK ON THAT PIECE, IF YOU ALL ARE REQUESTING ADDITIONAL
10:53:22AM ANALYSIS WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE TIME.
10:53:26AM >>BILL CARLSON: EXAMPLE FOR EVERYBODY.
10:53:28AM AT TAMPA UNION STATION WITH HISTORIANS AND FRIENDS WITH
10:53:31AM TAMPA UNION STATION AND LATER WITH CHIEF OF STAFF HAD TEN
10:53:35AM STAFF PEOPLE.
10:53:35AM THERE ARE A LOT OF PROPERTY THERE BEHIND THE STATION.
10:53:40AM NOT THE BAGGAGE CLAIM AREAS BUT BEHIND IT.
10:53:44AM PART ISSING LOT AND A BUILDING THAT IS NOT A HISTORIC
10:53:49AM BUILDING AND A QUESTION WHETHER CSX OR ANOTHER ENTITY OWNS
10:53:55AM PART OF IT.
10:53:56AM YOU COULD REBUILD IT AND MAKE IT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
10:53:59AM ARTIST LOTS OF AND PRODUCTS AROUND THE CITY TO USE TAMPA
10:54:05AM UNION STATION.
10:54:05AM UNDERUTILIZED FOR PATIENTS COME TO AND FROM AMTRAK AND LET'S
10:54:11AM TRY TO MONETIZE IT AND SUPPORT OTHER ENTREPRENEURS.
10:54:15AM I WONDER WHO YOU MANY OTHER PROPERTIES.
10:54:17AM WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T SELL ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES SO
10:54:20AM WE DON'T HAVE ROOM TO EXPAND IN THE FUTURE BUT PROPERTIES
10:54:23AM THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE TO OLD ON TO OR REALLOCATING.
10:54:26AM IT WOULD BE GOOD TO KNOW WHAT PROPERTIES WE COULD
10:54:30AM POTENTIALLY PUT INTO THIS.
10:54:31AM THANK YOU.
10:54:32AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I AGREE.
10:54:39AM IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO HEAR OF THE OTHER 110 THAT DIDN'T
10:54:44AM QUITE MAKE IT.
10:54:44AM BUT A GOOD START AND A GOOD WAY FOR FOLKS TO KNOW WHAT IS
10:54:48AM AVAILABLE AND HOW DEVELOPERS CAN HELP IN THE CONFINES OF OUR
10:54:58AM NEW COMMUNITY LAND TRUST.
10:55:00AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:55:01AM THIS IS STRICTLY INFORMATIONAL, CORRECT?
10:55:06AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: STRICTLY INFORMATIONAL.
10:55:09AM >>LYNN HURTAK: DOES ANYONE WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?
10:55:12AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NOT AT THIS TIME.
10:55:13AM >>LYNN HURTAK: WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE IN THE
10:55:15AM FUTURE.
10:55:16AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:55:17AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THANK YOU.
10:55:17AM I REALLY WANT TO THANK MR. DRUMGO AND MICHELLE VAN LOAN.
10:55:22AM THAT WAS A VERY HEAVY LIFT.
10:55:25AM WE STARTED WITH 110 IN THE MEETING THAT WE DID THE REVIEW SO
10:55:35AM REMOVED 50 OR 60 PROPERTIES AND SOME INCLUDED THE GATOR
10:55:38AM BUILDING THAT HAD OTHER DEVELOPMENT USE ON THEM SOMETHING
10:55:45AM THAT CAN BE MIXED USE AND NOT AFFORDABLE HOUSE.
10:55:49AM NOT LIKE ANOTHER LISTING AND WE JUST PULL IT, BUT SOME ARE
10:55:53AM STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS THAT MR. DRUMGO SAID COULD HAVE OTHER
10:55:59AM USES AND WORK DONE TO THEM.
10:56:01AM >>LYNN HURTAK: THE REASON I ASK BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE TALKING
10:56:04AM OF MULTIUSE, WE ARE THINKING OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
10:56:09AM THAT VEIN AS WELL.
10:56:10AM SOMETIMES IT IS NICE TO GET THE WHOLE PICTURE.
10:56:12AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: IT WAS A HEAVY LIFT AND I WANTED TO COMMEND
10:56:16AM THEM ON THE WORK TO GET THIS DONE.
10:56:18AM A LOT OF WORK.
10:56:19AM SO THANK YOU, ALIS.

10:58:57AM WE WILL START WITH BOARD MEMBER MIRANDA.
10:59:00AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO, MA'AM.
10:59:02AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER GUDES.
10:59:04AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DRUMGO, THIS WILL PROBABLY BE DOWN YOUR
10:59:08AM ALLEY NOW.
10:59:09AM WE JUST HAD A PREDEVELOPMENT FOR A FACADE HERE.
10:59:11AM AND I KNOW THAT SOME OTHER EAST TAMPA FOLKS ARE TALKING OF
10:59:19AM PREDEVELOPMENT.
10:59:19AM AND I DID RECEIVE A CALL AS IT RELATES TO PREDEVELOPMENT AND
10:59:30AM WHAT I AM CONCERNED OF -- A LOT OF TIME YOU HAVE BUILDINGS
10:59:33AM AND YOU LOOK AT ENGINEERING VERSUS FACADE VERSUS IF A
10:59:37AM BUILDING IS STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND HAVING AN AND THE
10:59:56AM BUILDING IS NOT STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND I THINK THAT CAN BE A
11:00:00AM PREDEVELOPMENT COST.
11:00:01AM SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL AVENUES BECAUSE I KNOW A
11:00:04AM LOT OF FOLKS ARE CALLING ABOUT -- PROPERTIES IN EAST TAMPA
11:00:08AM THAT ARE OLD AND STRUCTURED IN SIZE.
11:00:10AM SO I WANT TO KNOW BEFORE I MAKE THE MOTION HAVE YOU HEARD
11:00:13AM ABOUT THAT OR HAVE ANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT?
11:00:17AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: WE HAVE, COUNCILMAN.
11:00:19AM WE HAVE TALKED TO PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE GRANTS,
11:00:21AM AND I STILL DON'T THINK THEY UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE BEING
11:00:24AM ADMINISTERED, BEING CANDID.
11:00:26AM WE PASSED THE PREDEVELOPMENT GRANT WITH TWO LEVELS.
11:00:30AM THE FIRST LEVEL IS A $15,000 GRANT THAT IS NON.
11:00:35AM I WILL SAY NO TETHER, $15,000 GRANT JUST WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
11:00:40AM FOR PROJECT EVALUATION AND SUPPORT ON THE ARCHITECTURAL
11:00:44AM SIDE.
11:00:44AM THAT IS NO COST TO THE APPLICANT.
11:00:47AM WE JUST HAVE A SYSTEM WE HAVE WHEN THEY APPLY FOR THAT GRANT
11:00:50AM SO WE CAN SUPPORT THEM.
11:00:51AM THE LEVEL TWO OF THE GRANT IS ACTUALLY THE PORTION THAT WE
11:00:59AM ENDED UP ADOPTING WITH THE FORGIVABLE LOAN AND UP TO
11:01:04AM $300,000.
11:01:07AM IF FOLKS COME IN AND WANT TO EVALUATE THE PROJECT, THE
11:01:10AM INITIAL $15,000 AND UP-FRONT EVALUATION IS SOMETHING THAT
11:01:14AM SHOULD BE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD DEPENDING ON THE
11:01:18AM APPLICABILITY TO THE CRITERIA WE LAY OUT IN THE GRANT.
11:01:22AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: BEFORE A MOTION, YOU AND ME HAVE A
11:01:26AM DISCUSSION TO LOOK AT WHAT THE COSTS CAN BE, BECAUSE I THINK
11:01:30AM $15,000 IS A LITTLE LOW FOR SOME OF THE PROJECTS IN EAST
11:01:33AM TAMPA, THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
11:01:34AM SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS ARE VERY, VERY OLD AND THE
11:01:37AM ENGINEERING MAY COST A LITTLE BIT MORE AS A PRELIMINARY WORK
11:01:41AM THROUGH.
11:01:42AM SO LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK OR A
11:01:46AM RANGE OF WHAT COSTS IN CASE WE NEED TO BE INCORPORATED AS A
11:01:52AM PLAN 1 OR PLAN 1-A IN CASE THAT SUPERCEDES THE $15,000.
11:01:58AM >>ALIS DRUMGO: SURE, I RESPECT THAT.
11:01:59AM THE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN AND APPLY TO A
11:02:04AM GRANT.
11:02:04AM IF THERE IS A MODIFICATION TO A GRANT THAT WE CAN GO BEFORE
11:02:07AM THE CAC, WE CAN COME BACK TO THIS BODY IF WE NEED GRANT
11:02:11AM MODIFICATION BUT I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME IN AND TALK TO
11:02:14AM STAFF ABOUT THE NEEDS BEFORE THEY ATTEMPT TO INTERPRET ON
11:02:18AM THEIR OWN, WHAT THEY THINK THEY CAN DO WITH THE GRANT.
11:02:21AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: SINCE YOU SAID THAT, THAT PORTION, IT WILL
11:02:24AM LEAD ME TO ANOTHER QUESTION IN REFERENCE TO COMMUNICATION.
11:02:29AM A KEY COMPONENT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW OR DON'T
11:02:33AM UNDERSTAND.
11:02:34AM SO HOPEFULLY WITH THIS NEW STRUCTURE WILL HAVE
11:02:38AM A TRUE COMMUNICATION SO PEOPLE CAN KNOW TRULY ABOUT THE
11:02:41AM PROGRAMS AND HOW THE PROGRAMS REALLY, REALLY WORK.
11:02:43AM AND I AM GOING TO BE HONEST.
11:02:46AM I DON'T SEE A LOT OF COMMUNICATION ABOUT OUR PROGRAM.
11:02:48AM SOME OF THE FOLKS KIND OF KNOW.
11:02:51AM BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ON TV.
11:02:53AM I DON'T SEE ANY LITERATURE.
11:02:57AM FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THEY HAVE TO SEE IT AND
11:03:01AM BELIEVE IT FIRST THAT WE CAN DO ONE MAJOR PROJECT SO PEOPLE
11:03:04AM WILL KNOW.
11:03:05AM THE CDC DID THIS AND WE NEED TO APPLY.
11:03:08AM AGAIN IMPLEMENTATION.
11:03:10AM WE NEED TO FIND ONE PROJECT IN ONE OF THE AREAS OF THE CDC
11:03:14AM AND MAKE IT KNOWN.
11:03:14AM AND I THINK WE HAVE A ROBUST COMMUNICATION SO PEOPLE KNOW
11:03:17AM THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE.
11:03:18AM THANK YOU, SIR.
11:03:20AM >> YES, SIR.
11:03:21AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER CITRO.
11:03:23AM >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.
11:03:26AM WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE TRANSPORTATION DID NOT PASS.
11:03:31AM WE UNDERSTAND THAT LEFT TAMPA, THE CITY OF TAMPA, IN A LURCH
11:03:36AM AS FAR AS TRANSPORTATION GOES WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS.
11:03:40AM WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THE CITY OF TAMPA CANNOT RAISE REVENUES
11:03:48AM FOR TRANSPORTATION.
11:03:49AM THAT IS LEFT SOLELY UP TO THE BOCC, BOARD OF COUNTY
11:03:54AM COMMISSIONERS.
11:03:54AM OUR HANDS ARE TIED OUR CITIZENS' HANDS ARE TIED AND I AM
11:04:03AM SURE WE ALL RECEIVE CALLS AND E-MAILS EVERY DAY ASKING US
11:04:08AM WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT TRANSPORTATION.
11:04:09AM THE TAMPA STREETCAR IN 2021 HAD OVER 800,000 RIDERS IN IT.
11:04:16AM THERE IS A PLAN IN PLACE -- THERE WAS A PLAN IN PLACE TO
11:04:26AM SEND THE STREET CAR TO PALM AVENUE AND KNOWING THAT KAREN
11:04:32AM CRESS WITH THE DEW POINT PROPRIETORSHIP CONVINCED THE CITY
11:04:37AM TO LOWER THE PARKING MINIMUMS IN THAT AREA GOING UP AND DOWN
11:04:41AM FLORIDA TAMPA STREET WHICH WOULD CONVINCE THOSE PEOPLE
11:04:44AM LIVING THERE TO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
11:04:48AM THE LAST BUT ALAS, TRANSPORTATION DID NOT PASS.
11:04:55AM THAT EXTENSION WILL PROVIDE A SEAMLESS CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN
11:04:59AM TAMPA HEIGHTS AND DOWNTOWN CORE, CHANNELSIDE DISTRICT AND
11:05:04AM YBOR CITY.
11:05:05AM THE STREETCAR WILL HELP ALLEVIATE PARKING FACILITIES IN
11:05:08AM THOSE FOUR NEIGHBORHOODS PROVIDING A PARK EXPERIENCE TO
11:05:17AM VISITORS.
11:05:18AM AND GIVEN THE RIDERSHIP WITH OVER $800,000 WHICH IS SECOND
11:05:23AM IN THE NATION ONLY TO KANSAS CITY, THIS EXTENSION WILL
11:05:29AM CONNECT UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY SEPARATED BY 275.
11:05:34AM THE EXTENSION WILL BE THE FIRST PHASE HOPEFULLY TO EXTEND
11:05:41AM FURTHER SERVICES TO THE AIRPORT BOTH REGIONAL WITH SUN RAIL
11:05:47AM AND ESTABLISHED BY TPO.
11:05:50AM BOARD, I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION.
11:05:55AM I MOVE TO HAVE THE CRA BOARD, CRA STAFF EXPLORE THE PRIOR
11:06:02AM PLANS TO EXTEND THE TAMPA STREETCAR TO PALM AVENUE AND
11:06:07AM RETURN IT BACK DOWNTOWN USING CRA FUNDS FROM CHANNELSIDE
11:06:13AM DOWNTOWN, TAMPA HEIGHTS CRA DISTRICTS.
11:06:18AM THOSE FUNDS WILL PROVIDE THE MATCHING FUNDS NEEDED TO
11:06:21AM COMPLETE ALL FUNDING FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE --
11:06:24AM FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
11:06:27AM AND TO CONTACT FDOT TO SEE IF THE EXTENDING PLANS CAN BE
11:06:35AM MODIFIED AND LOWER THE COST OF THE MATCHING FUNDS.
11:06:38AM I HAVE CONTACTED MEMBERS OF FDOT.
11:06:44AM I HAVE CONTACTED STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND STATE SENATORS,
11:06:47AM AND THEY ARE ALL SAYING THAT THERE IS FUNDING FROM THE
11:06:51AM STATE.
11:06:53AM AND WE ALL KNOW THAT SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG IS GIVING AWAY
11:07:00AM MONEY FOR TRANSPORTATION THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
11:07:01AM I HOPEFULLY WILL GET A SECOND ON THIS MOTION.
11:07:05AM >> SECOND.
11:07:05AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A MOTION MADE BY BOARD MEMBER CITRO.
11:07:09AM SECOND BY BOARD MEMBER CARLSON.
11:07:11AM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION.
11:07:14AM DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA -- DOES NOT HOLD ANYBODY TO A NUMBER,
11:07:18AM HOW MUCH THEY ARE ASKING THE CRA TO PUT IN?
11:07:23AM >>JOSEPH CITRO: FROM THE NUMBERS I WAS GETTING -- GOING BACK
11:07:27AM TO MODIFYING THE PLANS.
11:07:28AM THE PLANS ARE THERE.
11:07:30AM WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH PLANNING.
11:07:31AM THE PLANS ARE ALREADY THERE.
11:07:33AM THESE PLANS HAVE BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL NEW CARS.
11:07:36AM LAY DOWN TRACKS.
11:07:37AM PUT DOWN STATIONS.
11:07:39AM USE OUR EXISTING STREETCARS OR BUY A COUPLE MORE STREETCARS
11:07:45AM LIKE WE HAVE NOW.
11:07:45AM $16 MILLION TO $20 MILLION.
11:07:48AM >>BILL CARLSON: AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION IS -- SORRY IF
11:07:53AM YOU SAID THIS, WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE FDOT FUNDING OF THE
11:07:58AM OPERATING COST.
11:07:59AM IS THAT -- HAS THAT BEEN EXTENDED OR EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE?
11:08:04AM >>JOSEPH CITRO: HOPEFULLY THAT WILL, EXTENDED --
11:08:06AM HOPEFULFULLY THAT WILL BE EXTENDED BUT THE BRIDGE WILL BE
11:08:09AM CROSSED WHEN WE GET THERE.
11:08:10AM I AM JUST ASKING FOR THE POSSIBILITY TO USE CRA FUNDS SO
11:08:14AM THAT WE CAN GET THIS STREETCAR EXTENDED UP TO PALM AVENUE
11:08:18AM AND BACK DOWN.
11:08:18AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: IF I COULD, IF YOU COULD MODIFY YOUR MOTION
11:08:21AM TO HAVE STAFF REPORT BACK ABOUT -- I MEAN, WE HAVE TO LOOK
11:08:25AM AT THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLANS TO SEE IF THEY NEED TO
11:08:28AM BE MODIFIED.
11:08:30AM WE ALSO NEED TO DO FINANCIAL PLANNING BECAUSE YOU MADE
11:08:35AM FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS TO THE CRA.
11:08:38AM >>JOSEPH CITRO: TO REPORT BACK IN OUR MARCH CRA BOARD
11:08:42AM MEETING.
11:08:43AM BOARD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND I THANK YOU
11:08:48AM FOR THE SECOND ON THE MOTION.
11:08:50AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER MANISCALCO.
11:08:51AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:08:53AM EVERYBODY KNOWS I LOVE THE STREETCAR.
11:08:54AM I USE IT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES.
11:08:57AM AND IT IS A -- IT IS A SIGNIFICANT ASSET, ESPECIALLY IN THE
11:09:00AM AREAS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, THAT THEY CONNECT AND HOW WE
11:09:04AM CAN FURTHER CONNECT.
11:09:05AM AND FURTHER EXPAND THAT IN THE FUTURE.
11:09:07AM I AM GOING TO SUPPORT THIS TODAY BECAUSE WE ARE ASKING FOR
11:09:10AM INFORMATION AND A STUDY; HOWEVER, HOUSING IS THE NUMBER ONE
11:09:15AM ISSUE.
11:09:16AM I KNOW WELE KATED OR VOTED TO ALLOCATE $20 MILLION IN
11:09:21AM UNSPENT CRA DOLLARS MOST RECENTLY FOR HOUSING, BUT,
11:09:25AM REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE FACING HOMELESSNESS.
11:09:28AM THE RISING RENTS.
11:09:29AM THE RISING HOUSING COSTS.
11:09:31AM THOSE SHOULD BE FIRST PRIORITY.
11:09:34AM HOWEVER, I WILL SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING
11:09:37AM INFORMATION.
11:09:37AM WE WILL SEE.
11:09:38AM I LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT MISS TRAVIS AND OTHERS WILL STAY, AND
11:09:42AM WE WILL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
11:09:43AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:09:44AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER GUDES.
11:09:48AM >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WILL SUPPORT IT TODAY FOR INFORMATION
11:09:50AM ONLY, BUT RIGHT NOW IN THEORY, I AM NOT LOOKING TO SPEND
11:09:54AM MONEY ON A STREETCAR WHEN WE HAVE A HOUSING ISSUE.
11:09:57AM PEOPLE ARE HURTING.
11:09:58AM THEY ARE GETTING EVICTED AND WE NEED THOSE DOLLARS FOR
11:10:02AM HOUSING AND FURTHERMORE, WHO ALL WILL BE BENEFITING FROM THE
11:10:06AM STREETCAR.
11:10:06AM JUST SAYING TAMPA HEIGHTS AND, YOU KNOW, DOWN -- IN
11:10:10AM DOWNTOWN.
11:10:11AM OTHER PEOPLE WILL QUESTION IT.
11:10:13AM THEY DON'T HAVE TRANSPORTATION EITHER.
11:10:17AM I WILL WAIT TO GET BACK INFORMATION, BUT I WILL SUPPORT IT
11:10:20AM TODAY FOR INFORMATION ONLY.
11:10:22AM >>LYNN HURTAK: BOARD MEMBER MIRANDA.
11:10:24AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MISS TRAVIS, CHRONOLOGICALLY WHAT IS THE
11:10:28AM PERIOD OF TIME THAT CRAS ARE STARTED.
11:10:31AM HOW --
11:10:33AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: ARE YOU ASKING LIFE THEY HAVE LEFT?
11:10:36AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: 10, 11 YEARS.
11:10:38AM SOME OF THEM -- ONCE WE DO THE RESTRUCTURING AND PUT PEOPLE
11:10:43AM IN THE RIGHT PLACES AND POSITIONS, I WANT TO LOOK AT ALL OF
11:10:46AM THE CRA PLANS AND ONES THAT SHOULD BE -- THAT WE WOULD
11:10:49AM RECOMMEND SUNSETTING OR MODIFYING THE LIFE OF THEM.
11:10:53AM SOME OF THEM THAT NEED TO BE EXTENDED.
11:10:55AM AND I WOULD CONTEND THAT YOU PROBABLY COULD EXTEND YOUR CRA
11:11:00AM SPECIFICALLY TO DEAL WITH TRANSPORTATION AND NOT NECESSARILY
11:11:04AM OTHER DEVELOPMENT.
11:11:04AM BUT IT IS -- WE -- WHAT I CAME TO THE PODIUM TO ASK -- TO
11:11:13AM SAY TO THE BOARD, WHEN WE COME BACK IN MARCH, WHAT I WILL
11:11:16AM TRY TO DO IS SHOW YOU THE BUDGET WITH YOUR DIFFERENT
11:11:19AM BUCKETS.
11:11:19AM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
11:11:21AM WE HAVE YOUR HOUSING INITIATIVES.
11:11:23AM AND SOME OTHER MAJOR FUNDING COMMITMENTS, BUT ALSO, WHERE WE
11:11:32AM NEED TO AMEND THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SET UP
11:11:35AM PLANS TO BE ABLE TO ENACT THAT AND POSSIBLY CONTEMPLATE
11:11:39AM EXTENSION.
11:11:40AM EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE CRA DO YOU A BLIGHT STUDY AND TAKE
11:11:47AM SOME TIME.
11:11:47AM WE HAVE EXPERTS RIGHT HERE THAT WILL HELP US LEAD THAT
11:11:50AM CHARGE AND START THAT PROCESS.
11:11:52AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: THERE IS A STATE STATUTE ABOUT THE LIFE OF
11:11:56AM CRAS THAT WAS SUBJECT TO THAT WE GOT TO LOOK AT.
11:12:00AM AND ALSO ALL THE CRAS AND LIGHT AND DURATION ARE SUBJECT TO
11:12:04AM THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE BOARD OF COUNTY
11:12:08AM COMMISSIONERS.
11:12:09AM WE CAN NOT UNILATERALLY EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE CRAS EVEN IF
11:12:14AM WE DO IT WITH STATE STATUTE.
11:12:16AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MY QUESTION RELATED TO THAT.
11:12:19AM WHAT PART -- HOW MANY YEARS FROM THE END OF THE CRA.
11:12:23AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: 10 OR 11 YEARS.
11:12:26AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: A LOT TERMINATE IN 2034.
11:12:30AM DOWNTOWN UNTIL THE 2041 TIME FRAME, BUT THE DURATION OF THE
11:12:35AM CRAs CURRENTLY.
11:12:36AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WAS ONE COUNTY COUNCILMEMBERS WHO
11:12:39AM STARTED THE STREETCAR.
11:12:40AM I THINK THE WHOLE COST AT THAT TIME -- I AM GOING BY MEMORY
11:12:44AM WAS $11 MILLION.
11:12:45AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WILL TAKE THAT.
11:12:46AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I THINK.
11:12:49AM I AM NOT SURE.
11:12:49AM >>LYNN HURTAK: ANYONE ELSE?

11:17:30AM WHAT THAT AREA MAY LOOK LIKE.
11:17:31AM THE GRANT WOULD COME FROM FDOT AND BE USED TO LOOK AT ALL

11:17:37AM THE REASON I BROUGHT IT TO THE CRA BECAUSE IT IS SOME OF THE
11:17:41AM BLIGHTED AREAS THAT WE DO COVER.
11:17:44AM AND I THOUGHT SUPPORT FROM THE CRA MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT
11:17:47AM THAN CITY COUNCIL.
11:17:48AM >>LUIS VIERA: A QUESTION, IF I MAY.
11:17:50AM AND I APOLOGIZE, I AM GETTING OVER A COLD -- PAST A COLD AND
11:17:55AM SLOWER THAN USUAL.
11:17:55AM IS THIS IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT TO TEAR DOWN 275 IN FAVOR
11:18:01AM -- AGAIN, CAN YOU RESTATE IT IF YOU DON'T MIND.
11:18:05AM >> A MOTION TO WRITE A LETTER IN SUPPORT OF A GRANT OF A TBO
11:18:10AM STUDY THAT WILL LOOK FOR MULTIPLE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE I-275
11:18:15AM CORRIDOR THAT DOES INCLUDE THAT AS A STUDY.
11:18:17AM NOT ANY TYPE OF MOTION TO ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING.
11:18:20AM BUT TO SIMPLY STUDY THE TYPES OF THINGS WE CAN DO AROUND
11:18:28AM THE CORRIDOR.
11:18:29AM >>LUIS VIERA: I DON'T WANT TOP DATE IT.
11:18:31AM WE ARE NOT READY TO MARRY IT.
11:18:33AM BUT YES.
11:18:35AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND
11:18:38AM SECONDED FROM COUNCILMAN GUDES.
11:18:39AM LET ME SAY THAT THERE WAS LIFE BEFORE THE INTERSTATES.
11:18:45AM THEY ARE STILL A NEW CONCEPT.
11:18:47AM AND I WOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT A STUDY AND WILL GO INTO
11:18:50AM FURTHER DETAILS.
11:18:51AM ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION.
11:18:52AM OPPOSED?
11:18:53AM ALL RIGHT, MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
