09:12:20AM TO MASTER POLICE OFFICER DANIEL FORD.
09:12:23AM LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR TAMPA CITY
09:12:27AM COUNCIL TO ALWAYS HONOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS BECAUSE
09:12:29AM SOMETHING THAT REALLY REFLECTS THE VALUE OF THE COMMUNITIES
09:12:33AM THAT WE SERVE.
09:12:34AM THE CITY OF TAMPA SUPPORTS OUR POLICE OFFICERS.
09:12:36AM WE HAVE SEEN THAT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
09:12:38AM THEY SUPPORT THE POLICE OFFICERS NOT JUST BY HAVING PARTS OF
09:12:42AM THE BUDGET DEDICATED FOR THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF OUR
09:12:46AM POLICE OFFICERS BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF THE JOBS THEY DO EVERY
09:12:48AM SINGLE DAY ON THE JOB I WILL LET CHIEF BERCAW COME AND SPEAK
09:12:53AM ABOUT OUR OFFICER.
09:12:56AM >>LEE BERCAW: GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
09:12:57AM CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME.
09:12:59AM I ECHO THE WORDS, IT IS A NEW DAY.
09:13:01AM AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW MEMBERS.
09:13:03AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW YOU ALL.
09:13:05AM IT IS MY HONOR JUST LIKE COUNCILMAN VIERA SAID, TO
09:13:09AM APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING AND
09:13:12AM COMMENDING ONE OF OUR OFFICERS.
09:13:13AM ONE OF TAMPA'S FINEST.
09:13:15AM I AM GOING TO READ TO YOU OF WHAT HE HAS DONE.
09:13:18AM IT IS TRULY AMAZING AND ONE OF THOSE AREAS THAT IS NOT MOST
09:13:23AM COMMONLY KNOWN TO CITIZENS WHAT WE DO.
09:13:24AM OVER TEN YEARS, MASTER POLICE OFFICER DANIEL FORD HAS BEEN
09:13:29AM KNOWN FOR DILIGENT INVESTIGATIVE WORK LOCATING AND ARRESTING
09:13:33AM SOME OF THE WORST OFFENDERS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND BEYOND.
09:13:35AM YOU WILL HEAR FROM SOME OF THESE STORIES.
09:13:37AM NOT ONLY IS HE ASSIGNED TO THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT
09:13:42AM HE IS ALSO ASSIGNED TO THE DEPARTMENT'S FUGITIVE
09:13:45AM APPREHENSION UNIT.
09:13:46AM THIS IS A FEDERALLY SWORN POSITION AS A SPECIAL DEPUTY
09:13:49AM MARSHAL WITH THE U.S. MARSHALS OFFICE.
09:13:52AM SO THROUGHOUT THE LAST COURSE OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, HE
09:13:56AM HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE APPREHENSION OF NUMEROUS
09:14:00AM FUGITIVES AND I WILL HIGHLIGHT A FEW.
09:14:01AM ONE SUCH APPREHENSION TOOK PLACE IN MARCH.
09:14:04AM THE SUSPECT WAS ON THE RUN FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS AND ON
09:14:07AM THE FBI'S MOST WANTED LIST.
09:14:10AM WANTED FOR FIRST-DEGREE MURDER OF A JUVENILE HERE IN
09:14:14AM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
09:14:14AM THE CASE HAD GONE COLD UNTIL FORD FOUND THAT THE SUSPECT IN
09:14:20AM THE CASE WAS USING A STOLEN IDENTITY.
09:14:23AM THE SUSPECT WAS RECENTLY ARRESTED IN NORTH CAROLINA BUT
09:14:25AM QUICKLY BONDED OUT OVER THIS FALSE IDENTITY.
09:14:28AM SO FORD CONDUCTED A RECORDS SEARCH TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY
09:14:34AM OTHER SURROUNDING STATES TO SEE IF THIS NAME WAS ASSOCIATED
09:14:36AM WITH THE STOLEN IDENTITY, AND SURE ENOUGH, HE FINDS ONE IN
09:14:40AM SOUTH CAROLINA ON A TRAFFIC CRASH.
09:14:41AM SO HE TRACKED DOWN THIS TROOPER.
09:14:43AM LOOKED AT THEIR BODY-WORN CAMERA.
09:14:46AM IDENTIFIED THIS PERSON AS THE PERSON THAT WAS WANTED ON THE
09:14:48AM FBI'S MOST WANTED LIST.
09:14:50AM AND IT WAS THE SAME SUSPECT.
09:14:52AM SO HE WORKED WITH THE FUGITIVE APPREHENSION TEAM UP THERE.
09:14:56AM AND LED TO THE ARREST OF THIS VIOLENT SUSPECT TAKEN INTO
09:14:59AM CUSTODY.
09:14:59AM SO IT DIDN'T STOP THERE, AND FORD WAS ASSIGNED TO A CASE OF
09:15:05AM A SUSPECT OUT OF SUMTER COUNTY FOR BATTERY ON A LAW
09:15:09AM ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND ESCAPE.
09:15:09AM OFFICERS ATTEMPTED TO TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY BUT THE SUSPECT
09:15:12AM INTENTIONALLY RAMMED THE POLICE VEHICLE AND ALMOST STRUCK
09:15:15AM THE OFFICER WHO WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF HIS CAR.
09:15:17AM THE SUSPECT THEN FACED ADDITIONAL CHARGES OF FLEEING TO
09:15:22AM ELUDE AND AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.
09:15:26AM ARMED WITH ONLY THE KNOWLEDGE WHERE THIS SUSPECT
09:15:31AM FREQUENTS, MPO FORD HAD A SEARCH WITHIN HERNANDO AND SUMTER
09:15:35AM COUNTY AND WITHIN A FEW HOURS HE WAS ABLE TO LOCATE AND MAKE
09:15:38AM THE ARREST.
09:15:39AM IN THE SUBJECT WAS IN POSSESSION OF HEROIN AND FENTANYL AT
09:15:43AM THE TIME OF THE ARREST.
09:15:45AM THE APPREHENSION OF TWO ADDITIONAL MURDER SUSPECTS OUT OF
09:15:48AM GEORGIA AND NEW JERSEY ALONG WITH THE SUSPECT WANTED FOR
09:15:51AM ATTEMPTED MURDER OUT OF ORLANDO.
09:15:54AM FOR HIS WORK WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA AND BEYOND, THE TAMPA
09:15:58AM POLICE DEPARTMENT COMMENDS MPO DANIEL FORD FOR HIS STELLAR
09:16:02AM PERFORMANCE APPREHENDING THE MOST VIOLENT OFFENDERS IN AND
09:16:06AM AROUND OUR COMMUNITY.
09:16:07AM IN THAT, HE IS BEING HONORED AS OFFICER OF THE MONTH.
09:16:11AM CONGRATULATIONS.

09:36:02AM THE FACTS ARE THAT YOU ARE AN OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL.
09:36:05AM NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT WATER, BUT YOU HANDLE
09:36:10AM THINGS THAT MOST DEPARTMENT HEADS IN OTHER CITIES WOULD NOT
09:36:13AM HANDLE BEING IN THE WATER DEPARTMENT.
09:36:15AM EVERY TIMING IS CAME UP THROUGH MARY REGARDING SOMETHING

09:36:45AM SURE THAT THE WATER QUALITY IS WHAT IT IS AND THE TASTE IN
09:36:48AM THE WATER.
09:36:48AM YOU HAVE DONE WONDERS.

09:36:54AM I AM SURE IF GO WE ASK YOU TO SAY A SPEECH OR TWO FOR THE

09:42:30AM MY NAME IS ELLSWORTH WILLIAMS, THE PRESIDENT CEO OF COUNCIL
09:42:35AM OF VETERANS.
09:42:35AM WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD.

09:42:51AM MALL FOR THOSE WHO LOST A VETERAN OR FIRST RESPONDER TO
09:42:54AM SUICIDE.
09:42:55AM THAT IS AN ELEMENT THAT HAS BEEN LEFT OUT AND LARGELY UNDER
09:42:58AM STIGMA WHEN IT COMES TO THESE MORALE ACTIVITIES.
09:43:01AM I PUT UP FIRST RESPONDERS NOT PASSE AND EVERYTHING WANTS TO
09:43:07AM GRAB ON TO, MY WIFE IS A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
09:43:11AM FROM NEW JERSEY AND A EMPLOYEE FOR THE GUARDIAN AND COME TO

09:43:33AM STATE SENATOR JAY COLLINS, A VETERAN AND HIS WIFE.
09:43:37AM WE HAVE COUNTY COMMISSIONER DONALD SEPEDA, VETERAN HERSELF.

09:43:46AM I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
09:43:49AM FLYER FOR THAT EVENT.
09:43:51AM WE ARE THE ONLY ONE IN FLORIDA WHO DOES THAT.
09:43:55AM WE ACKNOWLEDGE -- ONE OF THE THINGS WE LEARNED WITH A FIRST
09:44:00AM RESPONDER OR VETERAN DIES OF SUICIDE EFFECTS 14 PEOPLE THAT
09:44:04AM YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
09:44:05AM YOU PUT IT -- WE HEAR THE WORD 22 A DAY.
09:44:08AM HOW ABOUT 154 FUNERALS A WEEK.
09:44:12AM HOW ABOUT THAT.
09:44:12AM THAT IS HOW IT EFFECTS.
09:44:15AM LET THEM KNOW THEY ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
09:44:18AM NOT OFF THE ISLAND.
09:44:19AM THAT IS WHAT THIS EVENT IS ABOUT.
09:44:22AM AT LEAST SHARE IT.
09:44:23AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SIR, GIVE THE FLYER TO THE GENTLEMAN AND

09:44:39AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YES, SIR.
09:44:41AM >> GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
09:44:44AM I HAVE A SLEW OF IDEAS THAT --
09:44:50AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOUR NAME PLEASE.
09:44:51AM >> MALIK ABDULA.
09:44:55AM A SLEW OF IDEAS THAT I THINK NEED TO BE PRESENTED TO OUR
09:45:01AM REPRESENTATIVES, WHICH ARE YOUR GUYS.
09:45:03AM I WOULD HOPE -- I THINK MR. CARLSON SAID THIS IS A NEW
09:45:06AM BEGINNING, LET'S FORGET THE OLD STUFF.
09:45:09AM BUT I SEE THE SAME PEOPLE IN THE SAME POSITION.
09:45:11AM SO ARE WE GOING TO USE OLD FLASK TO BRING NEW IDEAS?
09:45:18AM NO.
09:45:18AM I THINK THAT THE COUNCIL PEOPLE SHOULD MEET WITH THE
09:45:21AM COMMUNITY MORE OFTEN TO SEE WHERE THEY ARE, WHAT THEY WANT,
09:45:25AM WHAT THEY NEED FOR THEIR COMMUNITY.
09:45:27AM SO WHEN VOTING TIME COME, THAT YOU GUYS CAN SAY, WHAT I DID
09:45:33AM THE BEST I COULD IN THE COMMUNITY HAS IMPROVED.
09:45:35AM THINGS -- WELL, LET'S SAY THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
09:45:38AM THAT IS NOT AN IDENTITY, THAT IS AN IDEA.
09:45:41AM BUT ANYWAY, THAT COMMUNITY, THIS BLACK COMMUNITY, THAT HAVE
09:45:45AM BEEN GERRYMANDERED FOR SO MANY YEARS ARE STILL LACKING WHAT
09:45:49AM THEY NEED.
09:45:50AM SO ARE YOU REPRESENTING ME?
09:45:53AM OR ARE YOU REPRESENTING AN IDEA THAT HAS BROUGHT YOU GUYS TO
09:45:56AM THE POSITION OF RICHNESS AND SUCCESS THAT YOU HAVE AND YOU
09:46:03AM ARE LEFT A COMMUNITY LACKING.
09:46:04AM SO LET'S THINK ABOUT THIS.
09:46:06AM I DON'T WANT -- I DON'T NEED THE SAME REPRESENTATION THAT
09:46:12AM HAS HAPPENED TO THIS BLACK COMMUNITY, BLACK PEOPLE FOR 450
09:46:16AM YEARS.
09:46:16AM YOU ALL FOUGHT -- I THINK, ALSO, IT IS A FAULT OF THE PEOPLE
09:46:22AM IN THIS BLACK COMMUNITY THAT DON'T COME OUT AND VOTE.
09:46:25AM THAT DON'T COME OUT AND SUPPORT THEIR COMMUNITY TO GET WHAT
09:46:29AM IS NEEDED.
09:46:29AM SO NOT YOUR FAULT, BUT BEING LEADERS IN IT THE COMMUNITY, I
09:46:36AM THINK WE GUYS NEED TO STEP UP AND DO A BETTER JOB -- OR
09:46:39AM SHOULD I SAY A GOOD JOB OF REPRESENTING US.
09:46:41AM AND I HOPE YOU GUYS FAIR WELL.
09:46:44AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
09:46:47AM ALL RIGHT, NEXT SPEAKER.
09:46:49AM >> GOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL.
09:46:50AM MY NAME IS NATHAN HAGAN.
09:46:53AM OSTENSIVE, EACH MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL IS IMPASSIONED TO
09:46:59AM ENDING SEGREGATION CITY OF TAMPA.
09:47:02AM I CAN'T IMAGINE IF I WAS IN YOUR SEAT THE DESPAIR AND
09:47:07AM HOPELESSNESS THAT THE POLITICAL FORCES THAT DRIVE THIS CITY
09:47:10AM I HAVE SEEN IN MANY UGLY WAYS THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND IN
09:47:14AM 2023 ARE STILL DISINTERESTED IN INJUSTICE OF HOUSING.
09:47:18AM TACKLE RACIAL AND ECONOMIC, IT WILL TAKE INCREDIBLE
09:47:24AM POLITICAL BRAVERY FROM AT LEAST FOUR OF YOU.
09:47:26AM YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THIS TERM.
09:47:28AM FOR STARTERS, IN OUR COMING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, NO
09:47:31AM SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT INTENDED TO ADDRESS DAMAGE DONE BY
09:47:35AM DECADES OF DISNEY-ATORY OF ENSHRINED BY THE WHITE MUNICIPAL
09:47:41AM PARTY DECADES AGO.
09:47:42AM YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION TODAY THAT BEGINS CHANGE.
09:47:44AM PLANNING STAFF NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND IF THEY BRING YOU A
09:47:46AM SERIOUS PLAN, YOU WILL SUPPORT IT.
09:47:49AM THIS CITY COUNCIL DEMANDS IT.
09:47:50AM THAT THIS PLAN WILL ACCOUNT FOR HISTORICAL INJUSTICES.
09:47:54AM ADDITIONALLY, ESSENTIAL RECOMMENDATION MADE IN THE LAST COMP
09:47:59AM PLAN REPORT SHARED HERE SUGGESTS NO MAP CHANGES ARE NEEDED.
09:48:02AM THIS CONVENIENTLY MIGHT GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE MAP IS
09:48:05AM FINE.
09:48:05AM YOU SHOULD INSTEAD CONSIDER WHETHER THIS WAS PROPOSED TO
09:48:08AM MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER, BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS, THAT MAP ONE
09:48:13AM OF THE MOST POWERFUL DOCUMENTS PRESERVING INSTITUTIONAL
09:48:16AM RACISM AND SEGREGATION IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
09:48:20AM ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO TACKLE IS THAT?
09:48:22AM THE LAST FEW DAYS AND WEEKS FRIENDS ASKED ME WHAT I THOUGHT
09:48:24AM OF THE RESULTS OF THIS ELECTION.
09:48:25AM THE ANSWER IS, I DON'T KNOW.
09:48:28AM FOR ME IT WASN'T ABOUT TOILET TO TAP OR KEEPING THE MAYOR IN
09:48:32AM CHECK, WHETHER THIS COUNCIL WILL PRIORITIZE OTHER THAN THE
09:48:36AM PRESERVATION OF THE WHITE WEALTHY CHARACTER OF NEIGHBORHOODS
09:48:38AM TO RUN HOUSING POLITICS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA THAT THIS --
09:48:42AM THAT YOU WILL CHOOSE JUSTICE, ENVIRONMENTALISM AND ECONOMIC
09:48:46AM OPPORTUNITY OVER PEARL CLUTCHING AND UNNECESSARY CAR
09:48:50AM STORAGE.
09:48:51AM I THINK IT IS POSSIBLE.
09:48:51AM I BELIEVE FOUR OF YOU CAN COME TOGETHER TO MAKE A STATEMENT
09:48:54AM THIS DETERMINE ABOUT WHAT KIND OF PLACE TAMPA IS.
09:48:57AM I HOPE DO.
09:48:59AM I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY READY TO HELP.
09:49:02AM IT WON'T BE EASY.
09:49:03AM THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS.
09:49:05AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:49:10AM NEXT SPEAKER.
09:49:11AM >> GOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL.
09:49:12AM THOSE OF YOU NEWLY ELECT AND THOSE WHO RETAINED YOUR SEATS
09:49:16AM AS WELL, I HOPE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A HARMONIOUS
09:49:20AM ASSOCIATION.
09:49:20AM THAT BEING SAID, SURGRET DOSS.
09:49:25AM A VETERAN AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE.
09:49:28AM AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT MY PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST FOR
09:49:31AM THE CLARITY OF THE ATTORNEY TO MY IMMEDIATE LEFT AND FOR THE
09:49:35AM CITY ATTORNEY WHO MAY BE LISTENING.
09:49:38AM MY REQUEST HAS GONE UNFULFILLED.
09:49:42AM AND I HAVE BEEN HERE TWICE.
09:49:44AM I NORMALLY WATCH THESE THINGS FROM AFAR, BUT APPARENTLY YOU
09:49:48AM ALL NEED TO SEE ME DIRECTLY, $10,600 BILL IS NOT
09:49:53AM REFLECTED OF WHAT WAS TOLD TO ME WHEN THE CITY'S MAYOR'S
09:49:57AM BODYGUARD FALSELY ACCUSED ME OF PERJURY IN 2017.
09:50:01AM CASE NUMBER 2017-CF 8089 FOR PUBLIC'S CLARITY.
09:50:10AM I ASKED FOR PUBLIC WORDS FOR OTHER WORK AND YOU HAVE YET TO
09:50:13AM FULFILL IT THAT I PAID THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT MONIES
09:50:16AM FOR A COUPLE OF SPECIFICS EVER SPECIFIC DOCUMENTS.
09:50:19AM HOW IT CAME TO BE $10,600 IS BEYOND ME.
09:50:25AM BUT FOR Y'ALL'S SAKE.
09:50:27AM I APOLOGIZE TO THE ONE -- I HAVE SIX COPIES OF WHAT WAS TOLD
09:50:31AM TO ME DURING THE PROSECUTION BEFORE THE CASE WAS DISMISSED.
09:50:35AM THEY SAID THEY HAVE GIVEN ME EVERYTHING.
09:50:37AM AT THE TIME I HAD A 101-PAGE POLICE REPORT -- OR GENERAL
09:50:41AM DEFENSE REPORT PREPARED BY DETECTIVE MICHAEL VICKER.
09:50:46AM UNDER DEPUTY KENNEDY THAT I KNOW ARE BOTH RETIRED NOW.
09:50:51AM WHAT I AM EXPECTING TO YOU DO AND THIS WILL BE MY OFFICIAL
09:50:54AM NOTICE OF MY INTENT TO BRING AN ACTION AGAINST THE CITY FOR
09:50:58AM WITHHOLDING THIS INFORMATION.
09:50:59AM BECAUSE SHOULDN'T BE DIFFICULT TO GET SOMETHING THAT YOU
09:51:02AM SUPPOSEDLY ALREADY HAD.
09:51:03AM NOW THE CASE WAS DISMISSED IN MY FAVOR AS YOU KNOW BECAUSE I
09:51:06AM AM STILL HERE AND NOT IN FLORIDA STATE PRISON SERVING A
09:51:10AM FIVE-YEAR SENTENCE.
09:51:13AM SO, AGAIN, THE NUMBER WAS 2017-194123.
09:51:21AM GIVE ME A LITTLE VARIANCE.
09:51:23AM I FORGOT MY CLASSES AND APPROVED IN 2017 IN JUNE WHEN THE
09:51:27AM CASE WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION.
09:51:28AM IT WAS DISMISSED ON JANUARY 16, 2018 BEFORE A JUDGE THAT THE
09:51:36AM FLORIDA SUPREME COURT SENT IN FROM ANOTHER JURISDICTION
09:51:38AM BECAUSE I HAD TO DISQUALIFY AT LEAST FOUR 13th JUDICIAL
09:51:43AM CIRCUIT JUDGES TO GET SOME FORM OF JUSTICE.
09:51:46AM AGAIN, THE ORIGINAL REPORT WAS 101 PAGES.
09:51:49AM THE CRIMINAL REPORT AT, WHICH I THINK I HAVE AS WELL WAS A
09:51:55AM FEW PAGES AND WE WILL DEAL WITH THAT IN THE PROPER VENUE.
09:52:00AM FOR Y'ALL'S EDIFICATION, I EXPECT SOMEONE VERY SOON TO GIVE
09:52:04AM ME THE DOCUMENTS THAT I LAWFULLY REQUESTED OF THE FLORIDA
09:52:08AM CONSTITUTION YOU OWE ME ANYWAY.
09:52:09AM WITH THAT BEING SAID, I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND YOUR
09:52:12AM AUDIENCE.
09:52:13AM I AM PASSING IT OVER TO YOUR CITY'S LEGAL STAFF.

09:57:19AM THE LACK OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTED TO THE
09:57:22AM COMMUNITY.
09:57:25AM THE ONGOING DISPARITY AND YET WE ARE JUST LOOKING AT
09:57:30AM RESOLUTION.
09:57:30AM WE ARE CALLING ON ACTION.
09:57:36AM THE LITTLE THINGS WE HAVE ASKED FOR HAS BEEN MET WITH GREAT
09:57:39AM RESISTANCE, FROM THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
09:57:43AM I WAS THINKING OF THE CORPORAL CORONATION.
09:57:50AM WHAT IS GOING ON IN ENGLAND.
09:57:53AM HOW THE CHILDREN IS HOLDING UP THE -- NO, THE WRAP OR THE
09:57:56AM ROBE OR WHATEVER THEY WANT TO CALL IT AND HOW IMPORTANT IT
09:57:59AM IS FOR THE KING'S GRANDCHILDREN TO HOLD THAT UP SO THEY CAN
09:58:02AM -- SO THEY HAVE AN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NEXT IN LINE FOR THEM.
09:58:06AM BUT WHAT WE SEE IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR A MERE REQUEST OF
09:58:12AM ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SUMMER, SUMMER JOB PROGRAM, IT
09:58:16AM HAS -- THE CRA HAS BEEN EXISTENCE FOR 20 YEARS IN EAST
09:58:22AM TAMPA.
09:58:22AM COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER 10.
09:58:26AM OUR CHILDREN HAVE PARTICIPATED IN A SUMMER PROGRAM, NOT LAST
09:58:29AM SUMMER, BUT FOR THE LAST TEN-PLUS YEARS OF PICKING UP PAPER.
09:58:33AM WHERE IS THERE ADVANCEMENT OF SEEING THAT WITHIN A CITY THAT
09:58:37AM THEY LIVED IN THERE IS POSSIBILITY OF GOING TO THE WATER
09:58:42AM DEPARTMENT.
09:58:42AM THERE IS POSSIBILITY OF LEADERSHIP TRAINING THEM TO BE
09:58:49AM ENTREPRENEURS.
09:58:49AM THE MONEY IS THERE BY THE CRA.
09:58:52AM FOR FOUR DAYS, WE WOULD LIKE FOR OUR CHILDREN TO HAVE A
09:58:56AM DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.
09:58:57AM THE RESPONSE FROM THE CITY GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN NO.
09:59:00AM WE ARE PAYING FOR IT OUT OF OUR OWN CRA BUDGET, OUR OWN
09:59:05AM MONEY.
09:59:05AM SO WHILE YOU TALK ABOUT IT'S A NEW DAY, WE ARE SEEING THE
09:59:10AM SAME POVERTY, SLAVERY, OPPRESSION.
09:59:14AM WE WANT TO SEE AN END TO IT.
09:59:17AM YOU CAN'T CLOWN US.
09:59:19AM YOU CAN NOT PASS RESOLUTIONS WITHOUT REAL RESULT.
09:59:23AM THE TIME IS TICKING ON ALL OF YOU.
09:59:26AM THE COMMUNITY IS WATCHING.
09:59:27AM WE CAN'T HAVE A BETTER TAMPA WHERE EVERYBODY IS PROSPERING
09:59:33AM AND OUR CHILDREN ARE CAUGHT UP WITH A SLAVE MENTALITY.
09:59:35AM THANK YOU.
09:59:36AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:59:38AM NEXT SPEAKER.
09:59:44AM >> MENTESNOT.
09:59:46AM I WANT TO SAY UHURU BECAUSE IT MEANS FREEDOM IN SWAHILI.
09:59:52AM WE AS AFRICAN PEOPLE WANT TO FRIDAY OF FREEDOM BECAUSE WE
09:59:56AM ARE NOT FREE.
09:59:57AM TALK ABOUT 3/5 OF A HUMAN BEING.
10:00:00AM WE ARE LESS THAN 3/5 OF A HUMAN BEING AND EUGENICS
10:00:05AM MOVEMENTS TO SNEAK IN AND DO WHAT THEY DO AND THAT'S WHAT
10:00:08AM THEY TO DO US.
10:00:09AM THAT IS WHAT THEY TO DO US.
10:00:11AM BUT IF YOU ARE AFRICAN AND NOT TALKING ABOUT REPARATIONS.
10:00:15AM YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT CODE ENFORCEMENT.
10:00:17AM YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT CHILD SUPPORT.
10:00:20AM YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT TRAFFIC CITATIONS.
10:00:24AM YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER THINGS THAT HOLD THE
10:00:27AM AFRICAN PEOPLE BACK.
10:00:28AM NOT TALKING ABOUT EDUCATION, REAL EDUCATION, NOT THE STUFF
10:00:31AM WHAT THE GOVERNOR IS TRYING TO DO.
10:00:33AM REAL EDUCATION FOR OUR PEOPLE.
10:00:34AM AFRICAN PEOPLE COME DOWN HERE WEEK AFTER WEEK, BEGGING,
10:00:40AM BEGGING.
10:00:41AM IT IS A BIG REPARATIONS MOVEMENT.
10:00:43AM THAT IS ALL WE BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO TALK ABOUT.
10:00:46AM REPARATIONS.
10:00:47AM WHITE FOLKS OWE $623 TRILLION IN REPARATIONS.
10:00:52AM $5 MILLION PER PERSON IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
10:00:58AM THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT.
10:00:59AM $2 BILLION THEY JUST SUED THEM FOR IN PALM SPRINGS FOR THE
10:01:06AM THINGS THAT THEY HAVE DONE TO US.
10:01:08AM SO IF WE ARE NOT TALKING REPARATIONS, THAT IS WHAT WE WANT
10:01:12AM TO TALK ABOUT.
10:01:12AM WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT IS NEW THAT IS REPRESENTING OUR
10:01:16AM DISTRICT, AND WE WANT HER TO TALK ABOUT REPARATIONS.
10:01:19AM WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT POLICE VIOLENCE.
10:01:21AM WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT WHITE PEOPLE HAVE
10:01:23AM DONE TO US THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN OUR LIVES.
10:01:25AM THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE CORRECTED.
10:01:30AM ALL THE AFRICAN PEOPLE IN THEIR 40s, 50s, 60s AND 70s.
10:01:37AM YOUR WINDOW IS TINTED TOO DARK.
10:01:41AM THAT IS WHY I PULLED YOU.
10:01:42AM I SMELL SMOKE.
10:01:43AM YOU DIDN'T MAKE A COMPLETE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN.
10:01:47AM BEFORE BODY CAMERAS AND BEFORE VIDEO CAMERAS, THEY WERE
10:01:50AM DOING BLACK PEOPLE SO MUCH DIRT AND JUST GETTING AWAY WITH
10:01:53AM IT.
10:01:53AM AND NOW WE SEE IT, AND THEY ARE STILL DOING IT.
10:01:58AM WE SEE IT, AND THEY ARE STILL DOING IT.
10:02:00AM THAT IS WHAT THIS CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN DOING.
10:02:02AM YOU HAVE PERRY HARVEY.
10:02:03AM YOU HAD GWEN MILLER.
10:02:05AM LES MILLER.
10:02:07AM YOU HAD SO MANY PEOPLE UP HERE.
10:02:09AM ORLANDO GUDES.
10:02:12AM AND WE ARE SEEING NO PROGRESS.
10:02:14AM THEY ARE WORKING ON A GENTRIFICATION PROGRAMS TO PUSH US OUT
10:02:18AM OF THE CITY.
10:02:19AM AND SO THE MESSAGE TO ALL AFRICAN PEOPLE, IF WE ARE NOT
10:02:24AM TALKING REPARATIONS, WE ARE NOT TALKING NOTHING.
10:02:26AM ALL THAT OTHER STUFF, ROUNDTABLE AND SPEED BUMPS WHO IS
10:02:31AM PLAYING LOUD MUSIC AND ALL THAT, GET YOU SOME MONEY AND MOVE
10:02:35AM OUT AND BUY ACRES IF YOU DON'T LIKE LOUD IN THE CITY.
10:02:39AM THERE IS A LOT OF LOUD EVERYTHING.
10:02:41AM LOUD DEVELOPMENT AND NOT GOING ON IF IN OUR COMMUNITY.
10:02:46AM WE HEAR AND SEE THE DEVELOPMENT BUT NOT GOING IN OUR
10:02:49AM COMMUNITY.
10:02:49AM SO REPARATION IS THE ONLY THING WE AFRICANS NEED TO BE
10:02:52AM TALKING ABOUT.

10:07:40AM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
10:07:40AM AND I, TOO, LIKE BISHOP PATTY WANT TO ADDRESS MEMORIAL PARK.
10:07:46AM I AM A DESCENDENT.

10:07:51AM MY GREAT GREAT-AUNT IS THERE.
10:07:54AM MY GREAT UNCLE IS THERE.
10:07:56AM AND NUMEROUS FRIEND ARE INTERRED THERE.
10:07:58AM I HAVE SPENT MANY YEARS RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF MY
10:08:02AM LINEAGE THAT WAS LOST BECAUSE OF THE SLAVE TRADE.
10:08:05AM I NOW STAND BEFORE YOU AS A DESCEND DENT OF A SLAVE THAT I
10:08:09AM KNOW WHO IS BURIED THERE BUT I CANNOT LOCATE HER.
10:08:12AM FIVE GENERATIONS AND I AM APPALLED THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA
10:08:18AM WOULD ALLOW SOMEONE TO TAKE HER REMAINS, TAKE MY
10:08:25AM GRANDMOTHER'S REMAINS, MY GREAT UNCLE AND GREAT-AUNT'S
10:08:30AM REMAINS AND ALLOWED TO PUT A BUILDING OR ANYTHING ELSE ON

10:08:58AM PARK.
10:08:58AM BEEN ON THAT COMMITTEE TO HELP.
10:09:00AM BUT I NOW APPEAL TO YOU.
10:09:04AM BECAUSE HERE I AM.
10:09:05AM I STAND BECAUSE THEY LIVED.
10:09:08AM THEY SURVIVED.
10:09:09AM AND THEY THRIVED.
10:09:11AM AND TODAY, I DO THE SAME.
10:09:13AM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
10:09:14AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:09:16AM YES, MA'AM.
10:09:18AM >> GOOD MORNING, STEPHANIE POYNOR.
10:09:26AM CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY NEW ON COUNCIL.
10:09:29AM THE ORGANIZATION MEETING ON MONDAY WAS VERY INTERESTING.
10:09:32AM I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THIS COUNCIL MOVE TAMPA TO LEAD
10:09:35AM THE WAY INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING ALL THE OTHER CITIES IN
10:09:38AM THE STATE OF TAMPA -- IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
10:09:41AM OFTENTIMES WE SPEND A LOT OF TIMES DIGGING AROUND TO FIND
10:09:46AM OUT WHAT OTHER PLACES ARE DOING INSTEAD OF US PUSHING
10:09:49AM FORWARD TO MAKE CHANGES THAT ARE GOING TO BE BEST FOR OUR
10:09:52AM CITY AND LET OTHER PEOPLE LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE DOING.
10:09:55AM I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MOBILITY FOR JUST A MINUTE.
10:10:01AM THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT WILL COME TO YOU AND ASK YOU TO BUY
10:10:04AM A PROGRAM THAT THEY CAN USE TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE
10:10:07AM DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY SO THAT
10:10:10AM THEY ARE NOT CLOSING DOWN THREE OR FOUR ROADS OUT OF MY
10:10:13AM NEIGHBORHOOD AT A TIME.
10:10:14AM PLEASE -- I WOULD LIKE FOR MR. BHIDE TO BRING THAT FORWARD
10:10:20AM RIGHT AWAY.
10:10:20AM I SENT ALL OF YOU AN E-MAIL ON FRIDAY -- OR ON MONDAY.
10:10:23AM IT WAS ALL PINK AND RED AND I AM SURE VERY, VERY SPECIAL TO
10:10:29AM READ, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THEY KEEP SHUTTING DOWN MY
10:10:32AM COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT ONE STREET IS DOING
10:10:35AM TO THE NEXT.
10:10:35AM WE HAVE TWO PROJECTS -- ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR
10:10:41AM OVER A YEAR.
10:10:42AM ONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR MONTHS AND FIVE MORE
10:10:44AM PROJECTS.
10:10:45AM THESE WERE ALL WITHIN A FIVE TO TEN-MINUTE WALK FROM MY
10:10:48AM HOME.
10:10:48AM NOW THAT'S OKAY IF YOU LIVE WHERE YOU CAN DRIVE 365 DEGREES
10:10:53AM AWAY FROM YOUR HOME.
10:10:54AM BUT I LIVE AT A DEAD END.
10:10:57AM I BACK UP TO MacDILL AIR FORCE BASE WITH NICE BARBED WIRE
10:11:04AM FENCING.
10:11:05AM I CAN'T PACK UP AND LEAVE WHENEVER I WANT.
10:11:08AM WITH NO COORDINATION THAT FDOT AND THE COUNTY HAS, I WOULD
10:11:12AM LIKE TO SEE THAT.
10:11:13AM THE SECOND THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS FOR OUR COMMUNITY
10:11:16AM AND I DON'T HAVE TIME AND NOT MY PLACE TO DO IT, BUT WE NEED
10:11:20AM TO SIT DOWN AND LOOK AT THE HISTORIC HOMES IN PORT TAMPA WE
10:11:24AM LOST ONE LAST MONTH THAT SHOULD REMAINED IN PLACE.
10:11:27AM AND PEOPLE ARE TEARING DOWN PIECE OF OUR HISTORY AND NO
10:11:31AM HISTORIC DESIGNATION IN OUR PART OF TOWN.
10:11:34AM I KNOW IT HAS BEEN BEFORE COUNCIL BEFORE, BUT TIME FOR THE
10:11:37AM CITY TO STEP UP AND STOP TEARING DOWN OUR TREASURES.
10:11:39AM THE REAL PROBLEM WITH THEM TEARING THEM DOWN IS, THEY HAVE
10:11:43AM TO BUILD IT UP.
10:11:44AM AND I AM NOT KIDDING YOU, THEY ARE BUILDING IT UP THIS HIGH.
10:11:48AM SO EACH PROPERTY, EVEN THOUGH IT NAY BE A QUARTER OF AN
10:11:51AM ACRE, THEY ARE BUILDING IT UP THIS HIGH NEXT TO THEIR
10:11:54AM NEIGHBORS WHO ARE AT BASE LEVEL.
10:11:56AM SO WE ARE CAUSING MORE AND MORE FLOODING IN OUR AREA BY THAT
10:12:01AM DESIGNATION BEING IGNORED.
10:12:04AM I HAVE TO AGREE ON MR. HAGAN ON WE DON'T NEED TO CHANGE THE
10:12:10AM LAND USE DESIGNATIONS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
10:12:12AM WE HAVE FIVE DISTRICTS.
10:12:13AM WE HAVE LOTS OF OVERLAYS.
10:12:16AM WAYS THAT WE JUDGE AND DEAL WITH THINGS IN LAND USE IN THE
10:12:18AM CITY, BUT YET WE WERE DEALING WITH THE LAND USE CODE FROM
10:12:24AM 1978.
10:12:24AM I WAS SEVEN.
10:12:26AM MRS. DO NOT LET THEM PRESENT A NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
10:12:29AM WITHOUT MAKING CHANGES.
10:12:30AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

10:21:57AM YES, MA'AM.
10:21:58AM >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: GOOD MORNING, CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE
10:22:00AM FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
10:22:01AM ITEM NUMBER 6 IS REGARDING -- IS HERE FOR A SECOND READING
10:22:05AM REGARDING A REVISION TO CHAPTER 19 TO REMOVE REFERENCE TO
10:22:13AM THE ARE EN TALL CERTIFICATE PROGRAM PREVIOUS ME MISS WYNN IS
10:22:21AM HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
10:22:22AM BUT THE RENTAL CERTIFICATE PROGRAM WAS A SELF-CERTIFICATION
10:22:26AM PROCESS AND CITY COUNCIL AGREED THAT THE CURRENT STATUS OF
10:22:28AM THE PROGRAM IS NO LONGER NEEDED.
10:22:30AM AS UP, THIS ORDINANCE IS PRESENTED BEFORE YOU IN ORDER TO
10:22:33AM STRIKE THE PROVISIONS REGARDING THE RENTAL CERTIFICATE
10:22:38AM PROGRAM IN CHAPTER 19.
10:22:39AM AS MISS WYNN PREVIOUSLY STATED, CODE ENFORCEMENT DOES
10:22:44AM ADDRESS PROPERTY MAINTENANCE VIOLATIONS IN CHAPTER 19 ONCE
10:22:50AM COMPLAINT IS RECEIVED TO THE DEW POINT.
10:22:51AM SO THE DEPARTMENT IS ADDRESSING ANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING
10:22:55AM PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ISSUES.
10:22:56AM JUST STRIKING THIS SELF-CERTIFICATION PROVISION IN THE CODE.
10:23:01AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
10:23:03AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM JUST GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN WHY I AM
10:23:06AM VOTING AGAINST THIS.
10:23:07AM ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT'S GOING ON IN TALLAHASSEE.
10:23:11AM I THINK GETTING RID OF SOMETHING RATHER THAN MODIFYING IT
10:23:14AM WILL MAKE IT INCREDIBLY HARD IF WE EVER WANT TO BRING
10:23:17AM SOMETHING BACK.
10:23:18AM SO I WILL, AGAIN, RESPECTFULLY VOTE NO.
10:23:22AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:23:24AM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
10:23:25AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:23:28AM I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S VIEW ON IT.
10:23:30AM YOURS AND THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
10:23:32AM RENTAL CERTIFICATE.
10:23:34AM WE NEVER CHECKED ANYTHING.
10:23:35AM WE NEVER INSPECTED ONE HOUSE OR ONE RENTAL PROPERTY IN THE
10:23:39AM LAST TEN YEARS.
10:23:39AM SO THEY HAVE BEEN COLLECTING MONEY AND NO GOVERNMENT HAS THE
10:23:42AM RIGHT TO PASS SOMETHING WHERE IT DOES NOT BENEFIT THE
10:23:47AM GENERAL POPULATION UNLESS THEY DO SOMETHING FOR THE GENERAL
10:23:50AM POPULATION AND THAT IS WHAT THE CAUSE OF IT WAS.
10:23:52AM AND I WILL HAVE TO SAY I GUESS THIS IS HERE BECAUSE IT WAS
10:23:56AM RUMORED OUT ON THE STREETS THEY WERE FILING THE LAWSUIT TO
10:23:59AM GET ALL THE MONEY BACK.
10:24:00AM AND THAT DIDN'T COME TO FRUITION HOWEVER.
10:24:03AM THE RENTAL PROPERTY IS SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN
10:24:06AM CARE OF.
10:24:07AM THERE NEVER HAS BEEN ONE INSPECTION.
10:24:10AM YEARS BACK TALKING OF CODE ENFORCEMENT, THEY WOULD EXPECT
10:24:14AM EVERY BUILDING IN THE CITY NO MATTER HOW TALL OR SMALL.
10:24:17AM AND THE LEGISLATURE CHANGED IT THAT ANYTHING OVER FIVE
10:24:20AM STORIES, THE LEGISLATURE WILL HANDLE -- THE STATE.
10:24:23AM AND ANYTHING OTHER -- YOU CAN COLD FRONT ME AT ANY TIME IF I
10:24:27AM AM NOT CORRECT.
10:24:28AM ANYTHING UNDER FIVE STORIES OR FIVE UNITS OR FIVE -- FOUR
10:24:32AM UNITS OR ONE HOUSE OR WHATEVER, THE CITY WOULD HANDLE IT.
10:24:36AM AM I CORRECT?
10:24:37AM >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY, YES.
10:24:39AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: PREVIOUSLY.
10:24:40AM THAT IS WHY IT IS IN TODAY, THE WAY IT IS.
10:24:42AM NO OWE TO ANYONE, BUT IT IS THERE BECAUSE IT
10:24:46AM DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO COLLECT MONEY AND DO NOTHING.
10:24:48AM WHEN YOU HAVE A LICENSE PLATE, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DRIVE
10:24:51AM ON THE STREET.
10:24:52AM THIS ONE HAD A LICENSE PLATE WITHOUT HAVING ANY RIGHTS.
10:24:56AM AND THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.
10:24:57AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON AND HURTAK.
10:25:06AM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BECAUSE
10:25:09AM IT COMES FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
10:25:11AM IT WAS A LOT OF CONFUSION BECAUSE PEOPLE HAD THE BUSINESS
10:25:16AM TAX CERTIFICATE AND ASSUME IT WAS THE RENTAL CERTIFICATE.
10:25:19AM WHEN I WAS IN COURT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME.
10:25:21AM I PAY MY BUSINESS TAXES ON THE RENTAL PROPERTY AND I GOT UP
10:25:25AM AND SAID THE SAME THING.
10:25:26AM WE ENDED UP PAYING FINES TO THE COURT, YOU KNOW, FOR A
10:25:29AM SIMPLE MISUNDERSTANDING.
10:25:31AM BILL WAS GOING TO THE RENTAL PROPERTY AND NOT TO MY HOUSE.
10:25:34AM I DIDN'T ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL I ENDED UP IN COURT.
10:25:38AM AND THE WOMAN IN FRONT OF ME, BECAUSE SHE SAID THE SAME
10:25:40AM THING THAT I ACTUALLY ENDED UP SAYING TO THE JUDGE, IT WAS
10:25:43AM ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I ACTUALLY AM RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
10:25:46AM JUST VERY CONFUSING WHY I WAS PAYING MY BUSINESS TAXES,
10:25:50AM BECAUSE THAT IDENTIFIES THAT YOU OWN THE RENTAL PROPERTY.
10:25:52AM AND THAT CONFUSION IS NOW CLEARED UP BECAUSE OF THE REMOVAL
10:25:57AM OF THIS.
10:25:57AM I DO APPRECIATE THIS IS ON THE BALLOT.
10:26:00AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND COUNCILMAN
10:26:03AM MIRANDA.
10:26:03AM >>LYNN HURTAK: THE CITY STOPPED COLLECTING MONEY FOR THIS
10:26:06AM YEARS AGO -- I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I AM ALSO A LANDLORD, AND I
10:26:10AM NEVER PAID.
10:26:11AM I PAID IN THE CITY OF GAINESVILLE WHEN I HAD RENTAL PROPERTY
10:26:14AM BUT I DID NOT PAY IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:26:15AM WE STOPPED COLLECTING HOW MANY YEARS AGO?
10:26:20AM >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: I DON'T RECALL, MAYBE IN 2006, I
10:26:24AM BELIEVE, THE PROGRAM STOPPED COLLECTING HURTAK THURSDAY THEY
10:26:28AM STOPPED COLLECTING.
10:26:29AM 17 YEARS AGO.
10:26:30AM THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE.
10:26:31AM THE ISSUE IS NOT ABOUT MONEY, THE ISSUE IS WE HAVE NO WAYS
10:26:37AM TO TRACK LANDLORDS NOW.
10:26:38AM WHEN WE GET RID OF THIS, WE WILL HAVE NO WAY AND BRINGING IT
10:26:42AM BACK BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE STATE IS GOING TO BE
10:26:44AM INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT.
10:26:45AM SO I AM NOT TRYING TO CHANGE ANYTHING.
10:26:47AM I AM JUST TELLING YOU WHY I AM NOT VOTING FOR IT BECAUSE I
10:26:51AM THINK IT WILL BE INCREDIBLY HARD IF WE EVER WANT TO TRACK
10:26:53AM RENTAL PROPERTIES AGAIN TO BRING SOMETHING BACK.
10:26:56AM THAT'S MY POINT.
10:26:57AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
10:26:59AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT GOING FOR POINT OR COUNTER
10:27:03AM POINT.
10:27:03AM I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN.
10:27:04AM I ALSO MANAGE A TRUST -- I FORGOT TO SAY IT.
10:27:07AM TRUST, ALWAYS PAID IT AND MADE SURE IT WAS PAID LATE.
10:27:12AM I DON'T WANT THEM TO TAKE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE IN THE
10:27:15AM WALLET.
10:27:15AM THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD VENTURE AND MAKE THIS AS A
10:27:19AM STATEMENT AND ASK SOMEBODY TO PROVE I AM WRONG.
10:27:22AM MORE PROPERTIES THAT ARE RENTAL WHO HAS NEVER BEEN ON ANY
10:27:26AM LIST THAN THERE ARE THOSE ON THE LIST.
10:27:28AM NOT ONLY THIS ADMINISTRATION BUT PAST ADMINISTRATION HAVE A
10:27:33AM BLIND EYE TO IT.
10:27:33AM I AM NOT PASSING ON THIS ADMINISTRATION SAYING THEY ARE
10:27:36AM WRONG SOMEBODY IS WRONG.
10:27:38AM NEVER ADHERED TO THE WAY IT WAS PROPOSED 40 OR 50 YEARS AGO,
10:27:43AM WHATEVER.
10:27:43AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:27:44AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:27:47AM ANYBODY ELSE?
10:27:47AM NO.
10:27:48AM ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM 6?
10:27:52AM ANYONE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 6?
10:27:56AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE TO CLOSE --
10:27:58AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WAIT, MISS LOCKETT.
10:28:01AM >> ROBIN LOCKETT.
10:28:03AM CATCHING THE TAIL END OF THIS.
10:28:05AM THIS IS WHERE I AM THINKING IT IS.
10:28:07AM THE -- THE LANDLORD HAS A PROPERTY, THEY HAVE TO REGISTER
10:28:11AM THAT PROPERTY AND PAY A FEE.
10:28:13AM I THINK YOU SHOULD KEEP IT.
10:28:14AM I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KEEP IT.
10:28:18AM IT IS NOT -- THERE HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF ACCOUNTABILITY IN
10:28:22AM THIS.
10:28:22AM SO BY DON'T HAVE ALL MY THOUGHTS TOGETHER, BUT I THINK YOU
10:28:26AM SHOULD KEEP IT.
10:28:27AM I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
10:28:28AM IF IT IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF ENFORCEMENT,
10:28:32AM THEN THE CITY PASSES THINGS ALL THE TIME WITH NO TEETH.
10:28:35AM THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
10:28:36AM SO WHAT THE INITIAL INTENT WAS HAVEN'T HAPPENED.
10:28:42AM I THINK YOU SHOULD KEEP IT.
10:28:43AM AND REVAMP IT TO MAKE IT WORK.
10:28:45AM SO THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
10:28:49AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:28:50AM MISS POYNOR.
10:28:52AM >> I FORGOT ABOUT THIS ONE.
10:28:55AM OKAY.
10:28:56AM THIS RENTAL CERTIFICATE REGISTRATION -- STEPHANIE POYNOR --
10:29:00AM WAS COSTING THE CITY $150 PER REGISTRATION.
10:29:03AM I PERSONALLY HAD 50 OR 60 BECAUSE I DID THEM FOR MY CLIENTS.
10:29:08AM BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WAS HORRIFIC TO DEAL WITH.
10:29:11AM ONCE I FIGURED IT OUT, I WAS OKAY.
10:29:13AM BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM.
10:29:14AM THE PROBLEM IS, YOU STILL HAVE NO -- THERE IS NOTHING TO IT.
10:29:19AM IT IS JUST -- ALL YOU ARE DOING IS REGISTERING AN ADDRESS
10:29:23AM AND REGISTER YOUR TENANTS.
10:29:24AM NOW, MIND YOU, THE ALTERNATIVE SHOULD BE THAT YOU SHOULD
10:29:28AM ENFORCE THE BUSINESS LICENSE EXPECTATION FOR THE CITY.
10:29:31AM WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE $25.
10:29:34AM BUT I NEVER KNEW ABOUT IT AS A LANDLORD, OKAY.
10:29:38AM SO YOU GOT THIS MECHANISM THAT IF YOU MADE ALL THE PEOPLE
10:29:42AM WHO ARE LANDLORDS ACTUALLY REGISTER.
10:29:45AM AND I PERSONALLY THINK THAT A $25 BUSINESS LICENSE IN THE
10:29:49AM CITY OF TAMPA IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD.
10:29:51AM IT SHOULD BE AT LEAST $50, MAYBE EVEN $100.
10:29:55AM FOR ANYBODY WHO HAS A BUSINESS.
10:29:56AM THAT DOESN'T MEAN JUST ME.
10:29:58AM BUT EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA ONLY PAYS $25
10:30:03AM TO HAVE A BUSINESS?
10:30:04AM OKAY.
10:30:04AM SO THEN IF YOU USE THAT MECHANISM TO MAKE THE REGISTRATIONS
10:30:10AM DONE THROUGH THERE, THEN YOU DON'T NEED THIS RIDICULOUS,
10:30:15AM SUPERFLUOUS SYSTEM THAT IS USELESS.
10:30:17AM BECAUSE HONESTLY IT WAS COMPLETELY USELESS.
10:30:22AM A WASTE OF MY TIME AS A PROPERTY MANAGER BUT ALSO A WASTE OF
10:30:25AM CITY STAFF'S TIME.
10:30:26AM THEY HAD THREE STAFFER WHO WERE WORKING ON THIS PART TIME.
10:30:30AM AND THEY WEREN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT.
10:30:32AM AND THEY DIDN'T -- NOBODY GOT -- NOBODY MADE ANY MONEY.
10:30:37AM THE INFORMATION THAT CAME BEFORE COUNCIL SAID IT COST $150
10:30:41AM PER UNIT FOR THE CITY TO PAY FOR THIS.
10:30:45AM SO WE WERE WASTING THOUSANDS SO FOR ME -- -- 150 TIMES 50.
10:30:54AM I AM DOING MATH UP HERE.
10:30:55AM I ONLY HAVE A MINUTE LEFT.
10:30:57AM YOU THINK OF HOW MUCH MONEY THAT COSTS THE CITY SO HAVE
10:31:00AM PEOPLE DO SUPERFLUOUS WORK WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE A MECHANISM
10:31:03AM IN PLACE.
10:31:04AM MAKE EVERYONE REGISTER.
10:31:05AM AND I WILL BE OFF.
10:31:08AM I WILL DO IT AS A TEST.
10:31:13AM WHEN I GOT IT DONE, THEY ONLY CHARGED ME $17.
10:31:17AM NOT 25.
10:31:18AM YOU SEE WHAT THIS IS HAS GOT TO GO AND WE NEED TO
10:31:22AM CONCENTRATE ON THE BUSINESS LICENSE FOR THE CITY.
10:31:25AM THANK YOU.
10:31:25AM HAVE A GOOD DAY.
10:31:26AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
10:31:31AM NO ONE REGISTERED.

10:36:57AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:36:58AM BEGINNING WITH ITEM NUMBER 8, MR. WIGGINTON.
10:37:02AM >>RON WIGGINTON: GOOD MORNING, RON WIGGINTON, CITY
10:37:08AM DEPARTMENT.
10:37:08AM I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE NEW CITY COUNCIL WITH
10:37:11AM THIS NEW TERM.
10:37:12AM APPLICATION TO VACATE AN ALLEYWAY IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
10:37:18AM FIRST READING IT WAS PASSED UNANIMOUSLY AND BETWEEN THE
10:37:22AM FIRST READING AND TODAY, TAMPA FIRE RESCUE HAVE CONFIRMED A
10:37:25AM NEED FOR A CROSS ACTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ABUTTING
10:37:28AM PROPERTY OWNERS TO PROVIDE FOR SAFETY EGRESS OF THOSE
10:37:34AM OCCUPANTS.
10:37:34AM SO I HAVE -- I HAVE MODIFIED THE ORDINANCE AND I HAVE ADDED
10:37:39AM THE PROVISION TO INCLUDE THIS REQUIREMENT FOR THE
10:37:41AM CROSS-ACCESS EASEMENT TO BE ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE
10:37:45AM ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS BETWEEN 180 DAYS FROM THE EFFECTIVE
10:37:48AM DATE OF THE ORDINANCE.
10:37:49AM SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I REQUESTED THAT BY MEMO.
10:37:55AM NOW FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE NEW COUNCILMEMBERS, I WOULD LIKE
10:37:58AM TO GO OVER A FEW THINGS WITH THE VACATING AND AN OPPORTUNITY
10:38:02AM TO ADDRESS THIS.
10:38:03AM THE FIRST -- VACATES ARE A LEGISLATIVE ACTION AND AS SUCH,
10:38:07AM WIDE LATITUDE IS ACCORDED TO THE GOVERNMENT BODY MANAGING
10:38:12AM THAT DECISION AND THAT THE DETERMINATION WOULD TYPICALLY NOT
10:38:14AM BE ESTABLISHED IN THE CASE OF CLEAR ABUSE.
10:38:17AM AND UNLESS THERE IS AN INVASION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS SUCH AS
10:38:21AM COMPLETELY OR SUBSTANTIALLY TERMINATING ALL ACCESS TO THE
10:38:25AM PROPERTY.
10:38:25AM THE PRIMARY FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN MAKING YOUR DECISION
10:38:30AM INCLUDE WILL THE VACATING RELIEVE THE PUBLIC COST, RELIEVE
10:38:34AM THE PUBLIC FROM THE COST OF MAINTAINING THE ALLEYWAY OR THE
10:38:37AM RIGHT-OF-WAY.
10:38:38AM WILL IT ALLEVIATE A PUBLIC NUISANCE SUCH AS ILLEGAL DUMPING.
10:38:42AM CURTAIL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
10:38:44AM AND WILL IT FOSTER REDEVELOPMENT.
10:38:46AM THE NEXT THING I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE IS THAT ALL APPLICATIONS
10:38:51AM ARE REVIEWED BY ALL OF THE AFFECTED DEPARTMENTS SUCH AS
10:38:54AM MOBILITY, WATER, YOU SEWER, SOLID WASTE, TAMPA FIRE RESCUE
10:38:57AM AND MANY OTHERS.
10:38:58AM IT IS ALSO REVIEWED BY OUTSIDE SERVICE PROVIDERS SUCH AS
10:39:02AM TECO, FRONTIER, SPECTRUM TO NAME A FEW.
10:39:05AM IF THERE ARE ANY FACILITIES WITHIN THE AREA TO BE VACATED
10:39:09AM THAN EASEMENTS ARE GENERALLY RESERVED IN ORDER TO KEEP THOSE
10:39:13AM FACILITIES IN PLACE.
10:39:13AM AND IF THERE ARE ANY OBJECTIONS, WHETHER INTERNAL OR
10:39:17AM EXTERNAL TO THE REQUEST TO VACATE, THOSE WILL BE PRESENTED
10:39:20AM TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION.
10:39:21AM HOWEVER, CITY STAFF IS STILL COMPELLED TO PRESENT THE
10:39:24AM APPLICATION DESPITE ANY OBJECTIONS.
10:39:27AM SO LONG AS THE APPLICATION IS COMPLETE AND PROPER NOTICE IS
10:39:30AM PROVIDED.
10:39:31AM WITH THAT SAID, I BELIEVE MR. ROSS SAMONS IS ONLINE TO GIVE
10:39:37AM A SUMMARY OF THE PRESENTATION HE GAVE DURING FIRST READING
10:39:41AM AND I WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE
10:39:44AM ANY.

11:08:05AM TO MY DISCREDIT, I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE PAUL GUZA'S ARTICLE.
11:08:11AM PAUL'S WRITING MOVES THINGS FORWARD ON THINGS ARE SO
11:08:14AM IMPORTANT.
11:08:14AM I WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE IN THE ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THIS
11:08:18AM THAT IS ALL OF THE PEOPLE IF.
11:08:21AM AND SOME ARE HERE OF THE FAMILY THAT HAVE THE FAMILIES
11:08:24AM DEPARTED AT MEMORIAL CEMETERY.
11:08:26AM Y'ALL HAVE REALLY SHOWN YOUR HEARTS IN A VERY SENSITIVE
11:08:32AM PERSONAL TOPIC VERY PUBLICLY AND KNOW THAT EVERYBODY I
11:08:36AM BELIEVE RESPECTS YOUR WORDS AND EXPERIENCES.
11:08:38AM AND EVERYTHING THAT MEMORIAL CEMETERY STANDS FOR -- I KNOW
11:08:43AM IT IS COMING UP BEFORE OUR CRA FOR TWO MOTIONS.
11:08:46AM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
11:08:49AM A MOTION -- I MADE A MOTION A YEAR AGO ON THE CRA FOR
11:08:53AM MEMORIAL SELL TER BEFORE ALL OF THIS.
11:08:56AM AND CONTINUED TO PUSH FORWARD BECAUSE OF THE LEGAL ISSUES
11:08:59AM BEFORE THIS LATEST ISSUE CAME.
11:09:00AM YOU.
11:09:01AM SO WHETHER THE CRA PAYS FOR THE FENCE FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA
11:09:06AM PAYS FOR THE FENCE.
11:09:07AM I DON'T KNOW WHY WHAT YOU HAVE FOR IT.
11:09:09AM ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO MOTION FOR IS ALSO TO
11:09:12AM PETITION AND MAYBE -- I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY CAN BE DO THE
11:09:17AM APPLICATION, BUT WITH THE HISTORICAL MARKER COMMITTEE WITH
11:09:21AM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE.
11:09:23AM I WORK WITH THEM IN A WAY ON THE EQUAL JUSTICE INITIATIVE,
11:09:29AM RACIAL MARKER.
11:09:30AM RACIAL LYNCHING MARKER AND WHAT NOT.
11:09:35AM THAT TOOK A WHILE AND WAS A DIFFERENT PROCESS I HOPE THAN
11:09:38AM WHAT WE SEE WITH THIS.
11:09:39AM BUT I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THAT.
11:09:42AM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED A MOTION FOR THAT.
11:09:44AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: NO, I DON'T -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:09:46AM I DON'T NEED A MOTION FOR THAT DENNIS FERNANDEZ, THE
11:09:53AM HISTORIC PRESERVATION MANAGER IS LOOKING FOR HISTORIC
11:09:57AM DESIGNATION FOR MEMORIAL PARK CEMETERY AND, LOOKING TO A
11:10:00AM MONUMENT TO BE DECLINE SIGNED TO TELL -- DESIGNED TO TELL
11:10:05AM YOU THE HISTORY OF IT.
11:10:06AM WE DON'T NEED A MOTION AND ALREADY IN PROCESS AND IN PLACE.
11:10:11AM WE HAVE TWO MOTIONS COMING UP ON THE AGENDA NEXT WEEK WITH
11:10:15AM THE CRA.
11:10:15AM EAST TAMPA HAS BEEN VERY VOCAL IN PARTICIPATING IN THE
11:10:21AM MEMORIAL PARK CEMETERY.
11:10:23AM FUND ALLOCATED WHETHER IT IS ACQUISITION OR FENCE.
11:10:26AM WE BELIEVE -- MR. MASSEY AND I BELIEVED THAT IT IS IMPORTANT
11:10:30AM FOR THE CRA TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FENCE AND THE CITY'S
11:10:35AM ACQUISITION OF THE CEMETERY.
11:10:36AM THAT IS HOW WE WILL BE PROCEEDING AND UPDATING NEXT WEEK.
11:10:39AM >> THAT IS WONDERFUL.
11:10:40AM AND I KNOW MR. ELLSWORTH WILLIAMS WHO IS HERE BEFORE LAST
11:10:44AM YEAR DID A MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY AT MEMORIAL CEMETERY PARK.
11:10:49AM AND ACTUALLY IF MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT, THE MEMORIAL WAS
11:10:55AM DONE ON MAY 23 IF IN EMORY SERVES ME RIGHT OF 2023.
11:11:01AM 100 YEARS.
11:11:02AM I WILL DOUBLE CHECK THAT.
11:11:03AM 100 YEARS FOR THE MEMORIAL MARKER THAT WAS WONDERFUL.
11:11:06AM AND I AM TRYING TO GET TOGETHER WITH SOME VETERANS GROUPS TO
11:11:10AM HAVE A COMMUNITY CLEANING OF MEMORIAL CEMETERY IF WE CAN GET
11:11:15AM THE CLOSING IN TIME FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WITH
11:11:19AM COLONEL DJ REYES, ELLSWORTH WILLIAMS AND OTHER FOLKS HAVE
11:11:24AM THE COMMUNITY COME OUT THERE AND DO WHAT WE CAN FOR THAT

11:11:41AM HEART.
11:11:41AM THANK YOU.
11:11:42AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
11:11:46AM >>GWEN HENDERSON: FIRST OF ALL, MISS TRAVIS, ATTORNEY
11:11:50AM MASSEY AND EVERY CITIZEN THAT CARES OF BLACK BODIES IN
11:11:56AM GROUND AT A PROPERTY CALLED MEMORIAL CEMETERY WHICH IS TO BE
11:12:01AM RESPECTED.
11:12:01AM I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DID BECAUSE THE CITY IS NOT
11:12:04AM IN THE BUSINESS OFFING CEMETERIES.
11:12:07AM YOU STEPPED UNDER AND DID THE RIGHT THING AND WE TOOK A LOT
11:12:10AM OF HEAT FROM THE PURCHASE.
11:12:12AM NO ONE SAW IT COMING IT WAS A NEW EXPERIENCE.
11:12:16AM YOU GOT IN AND SOLVED THE PROBLEM ASKING FOR THE APPRAISALS
11:12:21AM SO YOU COULD NEGOTIATE A PRICE.
11:12:22AM A PRICE.
11:12:23AM I WON'T JUDGE THE PRICE.
11:12:24AM IT IS WHAT IT IS.
11:12:28AM HE IS A BUSINESS.
11:12:29AM THE SELLER 247 LCC.
11:12:32AM WHAT I WOULD LIKE FOR IS FOR AS -- YOU AS ROBIN LOCKETT SAYS
11:12:40AM A RESET.
11:12:40AM ALL IS FORGIVEN, MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MATTER OF CARING FOR
11:12:44AM A SPACE.
11:12:44AM AND I URGE THE COMMUNITY WHO NOW KNOWS THIS PROPERTY IS
11:12:48AM BEING ON THE VERGE OF GETTING A BEAUTIFUL FENCE.
11:12:51AM THE FORWARD THINKING FOR THAT.
11:12:54AM WE APPRECIATE THAT AND NOW HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PAY HOMAGE
11:12:57AM AND RESPECT AND TEACH OUR CHILDREN A FEW THINGS AND THE FIRE
11:13:02AM DEPARTMENT HAS ALREADY VOLUNTEERED TO SAY, GWEN, WE WANT TO
11:13:06AM DO A MAJOR CLEANUP AND THAT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE
11:13:10AM COMMUNITY.
11:13:10AM AND INVITE THE CITIZENS TO THIS SPECIAL PLACE SO THAT IT CAN
11:13:15AM BE A PART OF TAMPA'S HISTORY AND A VERY SIGNIFICANT WAY THAT
11:13:21AM IS INCLUSIVE OF THE TEEN CITY OF TAMPA.
11:13:24AM THANK YOU SO MUCH THE WORK YOU DID TO GET TO CLOSURE OF
11:13:28AM THIS.
11:13:28AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
11:13:30AM >>BILL CARLSON: OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WE HAVE SEEN
11:13:32AM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC COME OUT EVERY SINGLE WEEK AND WE HAVE
11:13:35AM SEEN THE FEAR, THE EMOTION, THE CONCERN IN THEIR EYES AND
11:13:39AM VOICES AS THEY HAVE HAD CONCERNS OF RESPECTING THEIR FRIENDS
11:13:42AM AND LOVED ONES.
11:13:44AM I AM GLAD THAT THIS ONE WILL FINALLY COME TO A CLOSE AND
11:13:47AM OPENS A NEW CHAPTER HOW TO WE HONOR THE PEOPLE THERE AND HOW
11:13:51AM DO WE FIND MORE OF THEM WITH THE NAMES AND REGISTRIES THAT
11:13:56AM IT SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED TO DO SINCE SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
11:14:00AM WHERE THEIR LOVED ONES ARE BURIED.
11:14:02AM A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.
11:14:04AM ONE EARLIER ABOUT SOMEBODY MAY BE DEVELOPING ON THIS.
11:14:06AM CAN -- CAN YOU JUST -- FOR THE PUBLIC'S SAKE, LET THEM KNOW
11:14:11AM THAT THE CURRENT -- THE RESTRICTIONS TO THE PROPERTY?
11:14:15AM >> YES, I ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO THE SPEAKER AS WELL.
11:14:18AM I KNOW HER DAUGHTER VERY APPROXIMATELY.
11:14:20AM AND TO REASSURE HER THAT THE PROPERTY CANNOT BE DEVELOPED.
11:14:25AM NO BUILDING CAN BE BUILT ON ANY CEMETERY.
11:14:28AM IT IS PROTECTED FROM THAT.
11:14:30AM AND WITH THE CITY PURCHASING THE PROPERTY, IT WON'T BE SOLD
11:14:35AM OR FLIPPED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
11:14:37AM WE ARE PROTECTING IT AS A CEMETERY, BUT EVEN SO, IN ANY
11:14:41AM OWNERSHIP, YOU CAN NOT DEVELOP ON TOP OF A CEMETERY.
11:14:45AM THERE WILL BE NO BUILDINGS ON THE CEMETERY, EVER.
11:14:48AM >>BILL CARLSON: AS COUCILWOMAN HENDERSON SAID, THIS WAS A
11:14:53AM PRIVATE CEMETERY AND AN EXTRAORDINARY THINGS FOR THE CITY TO
11:14:57AM TAKE OVER THE CEMETERY AND THE CITY IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS
11:15:00AM OF DOING THAT.
11:15:00AM IT WAS RUN PRIVATELY.
11:15:03AM ONGOING CALL.
11:15:05AM NOT JUST THE $100,000.
11:15:07AM DO WE KNOW WHAT THE COST WILL BE?
11:15:09AM >> UP DON'T KNOW THE COST OF IT, BUT WHEN WE WERE
11:15:11AM MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY PAT ABOUT $10,000 IN MAINTENANCE
11:15:15AM COSTS.
11:15:16AM AND THERE WERE OTHER COSTS OF REPAIRING THE FENCE.
11:15:20AM BUT WE ARE PROPERLY LOOKING AT $30,000 ANNUALLY FOR JUST THE
11:15:26AM LABOR OF MAINTENANCE OF THE LAWN.
11:15:27AM NOT NECESSARILY STAFF FOR BURIALS OR ANY KIND OF INTERNMENT.
11:15:35AM >>BILL CARLSON: JUST TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW TAKE THAT AND
11:15:37AM MULTIPLY THAT 20 OR 30 YEARS, A BIG NUMBER.
11:15:40AM THE COMMITMENT FROM THE CITY IS MORE THAN THE $100,000 ON
11:15:45AM HERE.
11:15:45AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: AN ONGOING COST FOR SURE.
11:15:48AM >>BILL CARLSON: A BIG COST INTO THE FUTURE.
11:15:50AM BECAUSE OF OUR COMMITMENT -- COMBINED COMMITMENT TO RESPECT
11:15:53AM THE PEOPLE THERE AND RESPECT THE HISTORY OF OUR CITY.
11:15:56AM THE LAST THING IS PEOPLE SAID THAT THEIR LOVED ONES ARE
11:15:59AM MISSING BECAUSE MAYBE THEY DIDN'T HAVE HEADSTONES.
11:16:02AM DOES THE CITY HAVE WEB SITE THAT PEOPLE CAN GO TO SEARCH FOR
11:16:08AM THEIR LOVED ONES AND WHAT HELP TO FIND THE UNMARKED GRAVES.
11:16:14AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: SO GLAD THAT ADMINISTRATOR OCEA WYNN IS
11:16:18AM COMING UP HERE BECAUSE I JUST BUY PROPERTY.
11:16:20AM HOLD ON.
11:16:21AM >>OCEA WYNN: GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
11:16:23AM HI LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH EACH OF YOU AS WELL.
11:16:25AM OCEA WYNN, ADMINISTRATOR OF NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY
11:16:28AM AFFAIRS.
11:16:29AM SO YOU MENTIONED THE COST OF THE CEMETERY.
11:16:31AM SINCE WE WERE INVOLVED IN 2020 BETWEEN HARD COSTS AND SOFT
11:16:39AM COSTS WITH MOWING, WE EXPENDED APPROXIMATELY $ 00,000 DURING
11:16:43AM THAT -- DURING THAT SPONGE OF TIME.
11:16:45AM IN TERMS OF COUNCILMAN CARLSON, IN TERMS OF SEARCHING FOR
11:16:51AM THE LOVED ONES IN THE CEMETERY.
11:16:54AM JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WE RECEIVED A BOX OF RECORDS THAT WERE
11:16:58AM IN THE -- IN THE -- IN THE -- INSCRIPTION OF WHO IS INTERRED
11:17:04AM THERE THAT IS NOT LEGIBLE.
11:17:06AM SO WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH ABOUT 15,000
11:17:15AM RECORDS TO WHAT A WE CAN DO IN TERMS OF WHO IS ENTERED
11:17:19AM THERE.
11:17:20AM WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A SOFT WARE SYSTEM TO
11:17:25AM PUT THE NAMES IN SO HAVE THAT SEARCH.
11:17:28AM WITH THE 15,000 NAMES, NOT AN OVERNIGHT PROCESS.
11:17:32AM WE HAVE A TEAM WORK ON THAT.
11:17:34AM SO WE ARE NOT THERE JUST YET.
11:17:36AM BUT WHEN WE ARE THERE, WE WILL MAKE IT KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC
11:17:41AM THAT WE HAVE A PLAN AND SOMETHING IN PLACE SO THAT THEY CAN
11:17:44AM FIND THEIR LOVED ONES.
11:17:45AM >>BILL CARLSON: MORRIS, SOMETHING THAT THE CRA CAN HELP
11:17:50AM FUND?
11:17:56AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THE CRA CAN BE
11:17:59AM INVOLVED MOSTLY WITH APPROXIMATELY IMPROVEMENTS TO IT.
11:18:01AM I DID WANT TO MENTION, THE CITY DID CONTRACT -- I THINK IN
11:18:05AM 2020 WITH USF TO DO A JPR STUDY.
11:18:10AM PORTIONS OF THE CEMETERY.
11:18:12AM AND THEY REPORT THERE ARE THOUSANDS.
11:18:15AM THEY THINK THOUSAND OF UNMARKED GRAVES IN THE CEMETERY.
11:18:20AM BETWEEN THE RECORDS AND THE UNMARKED GRAVES, MAY BE
11:18:22AM DIFFICULTY TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.
11:18:24AM THERE MAY BE WAYS FOR THE CRA TO PARTICIPATE.
11:18:28AM ONE IDEA POTENTIALLY TRYING TO GET THE CRA AND THE YOUTH
11:18:35AM LOOKING AT THOSE RECORDS AND INDEX THOSE THINGS AND COMING
11:18:38AM UP WITH RECORDKEEPING TO THAT.
11:18:41AM >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY.
11:18:43AM ANYBODY ELSE?
11:18:44AM YES, MA'AM.
11:18:45AM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I WAS JUST THINKING, YOU KNOW, THE -- IT
11:18:50AM IS SOUNDING LIKE THE CITY IS WANTING TO CONTINUE THE
11:18:53AM RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MEMORIAL CEMETERY AND.
11:18:58AM MIRE MIND I AM HOPING AND PLEADING TO THE COMMUNITY THAT
11:19:01AM MAYBE A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION BE ESTABLISHED WHERE GRANT
11:19:05AM FUNDS CAN ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF THIS PROPERTY AND NOT
11:19:07AM NECESSARILY BE THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY.
11:19:09AM WE HAVE STEPPED IN.
11:19:10AM WE HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING.
11:19:12AM AT THIS TIME, WE NEED TO LOOK FOR OTHER AVENUES AS WELL TO
11:19:16AM SUPPORT THIS.
11:19:16AM AND IT NOT BE NECESSARILY A FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
11:19:20AM CITY TO OCCUR EVERY SINGLE COST.
11:19:23AM AND MAYBE WE CAN LOOK FOR WAYS TO DO THAT THROUGH OUR GRANTS
11:19:27AM OFFICE OR MAYBE EVEN FOUNDATIONS THAT ALREADY DEAL WITH
11:19:31AM CEMETERIES.
11:19:32AM SO JUST A THOUGHT.
11:19:33AM THANK YOU.
11:19:34AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:19:36AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: AS WE ALL UNDERSTAND IT STARTED WITH A
11:19:40AM LOT OF INPUT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND RIGHTLY SO.
11:19:43AM IT SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME, IT WASN'T, THE CITY ACTED
11:19:49AM EXPEDITIOUSLY, THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT, THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT,
11:19:53AM ALL OF THEM WORKED TOGETHER ON THIS TO GET IT DONE.
11:19:55AM AS MISS HENDERSON JUST SPOKE ABOUT, SOMETHING I LEARNED
11:19:59AM HERE, SOMETHING THAT CEMETERIES, ALL THOSE THAT ARE BURIED
11:20:03AM THERE, THE CEMETERY -- THE FUNERAL HOMES HAVE TO HAVE AN
11:20:08AM ENDOWMENT SOMEWHERE SAFE.
11:20:10AM MONEY ON THE SIDE FOREVER.
11:20:12AM AND WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST.
11:20:14AM THIS IS LIKE THE SECOND AND THIRD CEMETERY THE CITY OF TAMPA
11:20:18AM HAS TO WORK ON IT AND RIGHTLY SO.
11:20:21AM HOW DO WE SOLVES THE PROBLEM -- WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT
11:20:25AM TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE FUNERAL PARLORS THAT DO THE PURE
11:20:30AM BURIALS ARE PUTTING MONEY ASIDE IN A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN'T
11:20:35AM PUT THEIR HANDS ON IT BY LAW.
11:20:36AM I DON'T KNOW.
11:20:38AM THAT IS WHY WE ARE ASKING.
11:20:40AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: A STATE TRUST FUND OF THE CARE AND
11:20:43AM PRESERVATION OF CEMETERIES THAT ACTIVE BURIALS THAT ARE
11:20:46AM GOING ON, THEY SHOULD PAY INTO.
11:20:49AM ONE OF THE OLDEST CEMETERIES LIKE MEMORIAL.
11:20:53AM NOT MANY ACTIVE BURIALS GOING ON AND THAT FUND IS FOR OLDER
11:20:59AM CEMETERIES.
11:21:00AM THE NEWER CEMETERIES, THE FUNDS ARE LARGER.
11:21:04AM THE STATE STATUTE.
11:21:06AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANT TO GO A STEP FURTHER, PLEASE.
11:21:10AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: YES.
11:21:11AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WHO REPORTS TO THE CITY SAND SAYS WE ARE
11:21:14AM THE ONES TO TAKE THE ACTION.
11:21:17AM OF ANYONE FROM THE CEMETERIES FROM THE INDIVIDUALS THAT DO
11:21:21AM THE BURIALS?
11:21:23AM >>MORRIS MASSEY: WE WILL CALL THE STATE TO SEE IF THERE IS A
11:21:25AM FUND FOR MEMORIAL AND A SUCCESS THAT FOR THE FAIR
11:21:28AM AND PRESERVATION OF IT.
11:21:29AM THAT AMOUNT MAY BE LIMIT.
11:21:31AM MAY NOT BE AS MUCH THERE AS WE WOULD LIKE FOR THE CEMETERY.
11:21:35AM EYE JUST WARNING YOU.
11:21:36AM BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CEMETERY.
11:21:39AM I THINK THAT -- THAT PROGRAM CAME INTO EFFECT AFTER A LOT OF
11:21:43AM BURIALS OCCURRED AT MEMORIAL.
11:21:46AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.
11:21:48AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
11:21:51AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OVER THE COURSE OF
11:21:54AM THE LAST SIX MONTHS I HEARD THE COMMUNITY TALKING OF
11:21:57AM MEMORIAL CEMETERY AND I FELT THE PAIN AND THE ANGER AND I
11:22:01AM UNDERSTOOD BOTH.
11:22:02AM CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THAT IS LYING FOR FAMILIES THAT HAVE
11:22:06AM LOVED ONES INTERRED IN THAT CEMETERY.
11:22:08AM I WANT TO BRING OUT SOMETHING WITH REFERENCE TO THE
11:22:12AM INFRASTRUCTURE.
11:22:12AM TALKING -- DESIGNING FENCES AND ALL.
11:22:14AM I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS IS IN THE PROS IS AND WHICH POTS
11:22:18AM THAT WILL COME OUT OF, BUT WANT TO MACK SURE FOR EVERYBODY
11:22:20AM THAT IS LISTENING WITHIN THE CITY AND YOUR OFFICE AND THE
11:22:24AM CONSTRUCTION PEOPLE THAT BE DO THAT, WE GET SOME COMMUNITY
11:22:27AM INPUT AND INVOLVEMENT IN THE DESIGN AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE
11:22:30AM FOR THE CEMETERY.
11:22:31AM I THINK THAT IS AN IMPORTANT -- AN ON LANDMARK FOR THE
11:22:38AM COMMUNITY.
11:22:38AM OBVIOUSLY AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR PEOPLE AND I THINK THE
11:22:41AM PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY WHAT THAT
11:22:44AM LOOKS LIKE.
11:22:44AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THANK YOU.
11:22:52AM THE ONLY THING OF GOING THROUGH A COMMUNITY PROCESS OF THE
11:22:56AM FENCE DESIGN, IT WILL SLOW DOWN GETTING THE FENCE IN.
11:22:59AM BUT WE TALKED OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION DESIGNATION OF THE
11:23:04AM SITE AND I DO BELIEVE WE CAN DO A MARKER FOR THAT.
11:23:06AM AND THAT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR -- TO GET THE
11:23:09AM COMMUNITY INPUT.
11:23:10AM AND ALSO -- A LOT MORE RESEARCH AND MORE THAT WE NEED TO
11:23:15AM LEARN ABOUT THE CEMETERY AND THE LOVED ONES THAT ARE THERE.
11:23:21AM WE CAN DO THAT WITH THE MARKER AND NOT THE FENCE.
11:23:24AM THERE ARE TWO SIDES OF CEMETERY NOT SECURED WITH A FENCE.
11:23:30AM WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FENCE AS
11:23:32AM EXPEDITIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE AND DO THE MARKER AND GET THE
11:23:36AM COMMUNITY INPUT FOR THEM.
11:23:37AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT TYPE OF FENCES ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
11:23:40AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: LOOKING AT AN IRON OR ALUMINIUM FENCE WITH
11:23:46AM BRICK PILLARS.
11:23:47AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I STILL FEEL STRONGLY OF COMMUNITY
11:23:50AM INVOLVEMENT IN THESE THINGS ESPECIALLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
11:23:52AM AND HOW THAT IMPACTS PEOPLE.
11:23:54AM ESPECIALLY AS SIGNIFICANT, AGAIN, AS THIS -- THIS CEMETERY
11:23:58AM IS TO THE COMMUNITY AS WE GROW.
11:24:01AM I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE RESPECTFUL FOR FOLKS AND
11:24:04AM HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE.
11:24:07AM I WOULD APPRECIATE REACHING OUT TO THE STAKEHOLDERS SPEAKING
11:24:12AM IN THESE FORUMS EVEN IF AN INFORMAL WAY OF DOING THAT TO
11:24:15AM HAVE SOME OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY SO THEY HAVE A VOICE AND
11:24:19AM WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

11:28:36AM DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
11:28:37AM I HAVE A SLIDE SHOW PRESENTATION FOR YOU.

11:28:43AM PLEASE.
11:28:43AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE THE PRESENTATION UP.
11:28:45AM GO AHEAD.
11:28:46AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THANK YOU.
11:28:47AM SO WE -- COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK REQUESTED -- WAS REALLY DIGGING
11:28:53AM INTO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISSUE AND REQUESTED THAT WE DO
11:28:57AM QUARTERLY UPDATES.
11:28:58AM WHAT I AM GOING TO WALK THROUGH IN THIS PRESENTATION WITH
11:29:00AM YOU IS A REVIEW OF THE UPDATE WE DID FOR QUARTER ONE, WHAT
11:29:05AM THAT LOOKS LIKE.
11:29:06AM I ALSO LAID OUT OUR HOUSING PRIORITIES.
11:29:09AM I PRESENTED THAT IN QUARTER ONE AS WELL, BUT THAT
11:29:12AM PRESENTATION IS GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
11:29:14AM WE WILL LOOK AT HOUSEHOLD SERVED BASED ON HOW MUCH
11:29:21AM MONEY AND OUR PRIORITIES.
11:29:22AM IF YOU WILL JUST INDULGE ME FOR A SECOND.
11:29:25AM QUICK RECAP.
11:29:26AM LET ME GET MY NOTES.
11:29:28AM A QUICK RECAP.
11:29:29AM FISCAL YEAR -- WE ARE TALKING FISCAL YEAR '23, QUARTER ONE,
11:29:37AM EXPENDED 8.3 MILLION IN THE FIRST QUARTER AND HOUSING
11:29:41AM BUCKETS WE CATEGORIZED HOMELESS SERVICES, PUBLIC SERVICES,
11:29:45AM RENTAL ASSISTANCE, HOME OWNERSHIP AND ACQUISITION REHAB.
11:29:50AM SO IN THE FIRST QUARTER ONE PRESENTATION, WE WERE TALKING OF
11:29:55AM THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF RESOURCES WE HAVE.
11:29:58AM THERE IS NOT AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF MONEY, SO WE HAVE TO
11:30:01AM PRIORITIZE WHERE ARE WE GOING TO SPEND THIS MONEY.
11:30:04AM WHO ARE WE GOING TO TRY TO HELP.
11:30:06AM THESE ARE THE PRIORITIES WE HAVE ESTABLISHED FOR HOUSING --
11:30:11AM FOUR OUR HOUSING PRIORITIES.
11:30:13AM THE FIRST ONE IS TO EXPAND OUR TEMPORARY HOUSING OPTIONS FOR
11:30:18AM EMERGENCY NEEDS AND DISPLACEMENT.
11:30:20AM SECOND A PRIORITIZING SENIORS WITH DISABILITIES AND OTHER
11:30:23AM PROTECTED POPULATION.
11:30:25AM THE THIRD IS STABILIZING RENTER AND HOMEOWNERS LOW INCOME
11:30:30AM MAJORITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD ARE VULNERABLE NO GENTRIFICATION.
11:30:35AM IN THE LAST YEAR YOU HAVE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THAT WITH
11:30:38AM SKYROCKETING RENT COUNCIL TOOK A VERY DECISIVE ACTION TO
11:30:44AM ALLOCATE ADDITIONAL MONEY IN THE OFF-CYCLE TO HELP WITH THAT
11:30:47AM STABILIZATION EFFORT.
11:30:48AM THE FOURTH PRIORITY ENSURING SAFE AND QUALITY HOUSING FOR
11:30:52AM LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS FOR 80% AND BELOW OF THE AMI.
11:30:56AM FINALLY OUR FIRST PRIORITY IS LEVERAGING CITY RESOURCES TO
11:31:00AM FILL THE GAP IN FUNDING FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING BETWEEN
11:31:06AM 80% AMI TO 140% SO IF WE WERE REPORTING, WHAT THE REPORT
11:31:14AM WILL LOOK LIKE.
11:31:14AM SECOND QUARTER EXPENDED 3.8 MILLION AND HALFWAY THROUGH THE
11:31:19AM MONEY.
11:31:19AM 12.2 MILLION EXPENDED THUS FAR.
11:31:25AM YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE -- HOW MUCH MONEY WE EXTENDED
11:31:28AM THROUGH HOMELESS SERVICES, PUBLIC SERVICES, RENTAL
11:31:31AM ASSISTANCE, HOME OWNERSHIP AND ACQUISITION.
11:31:34AM SOME SO JUST -- TALKING OF PRIORITIES AND HOW WE.
11:31:41AM THE FUNDING THAT WE HAVE WE GET A LOT OF STATE AND FEDERAL
11:31:45AM FUNDING AND WHERE ARE, YOU FUNDS GOING BASED ON THE
11:31:52AM PRIORITIES?
11:31:52AM ON YOUR LEFT, YOU ARE SEEING HOUSING PRIORITIES.
11:31:54AM FIRST ONE TEMPORARY HOUSING, PROTECTIVE, SAFE AND QUALITY,
11:32:00AM WORK FORCE HOUSING.
11:32:01AM ONE THING I WANT YOU TO REALIZE IS THAT -- THIS ALSO
11:32:08AM INCLUDES MONEY THAT WAS CARRIED FORWARD THAT WAS NOT
11:32:11AM EXPENDED IN THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR.
11:32:13AM SO 26.25 MILLION.
11:32:17AM BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, THAT BLUE BOX AT THE BOTTOM, THOSE
11:32:22AM ARE FUNDS THAT ARE OTHER EXPENDITURES NOT FITTING ANY OTHER
11:32:27AM CATEGORIES OR THE ENVIRONMENTS WE HAVE SET.
11:32:28AM WE TALKED OF ABOUT PRIORITIES, TEMPORARY HOUSING.
11:32:31AM AND THEN PROTECTED POPULATION, STABILIZATION EFFORTS, SAFE
11:32:36AM AND QUALITY HOUSING AND WORK FORCE HOUSING.
11:32:39AM THIS REPORT IS SHOWING YOU BASED ON OUR PRIORITIES,
11:32:43AM TEMPORARY HOUSING, $4.7 MILLION ALLOCATED FOR THAT EXPENDED
11:32:48AM $1.2 MILLION.
11:32:50AM AND WE HELPED 791 HOUSEHOLDS WERE SOLD THROUGH THAT FUNDING.
11:32:56AM OF THAT 791 HOUSEHOLDS SERVED, 17 WERE LONG-TERM AFFORDABLE
11:33:04AM UNITS.
11:33:04AM LONG-TERM AFFORDABLE UNITS ARE DEFINED BY 20 YEARS OR LONGER
11:33:09AM FROM THE AFFORDABILITY PERIOD.
11:33:10AM SO IN THIS CASE, THOSE 17 LONG-TERM AFFORDABLE UNITS ARE --
11:33:15AM ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HIV, AIDS.
11:33:19AM AND ALSO FALL INTO THAT PROTECTED POPULATION.
11:33:23AM IN PROTECTIVE POPULATION, $1.4 MILLION OF THE $3.3 MILLION
11:33:29AM HAVE BEEN EXTENDED.
11:33:30AM AND AGAIN THIS IS HOPWA FUNDS.
11:33:33AM ALL HOPWA FUNDS AND HOUSING PEOPLE WITH AIDS.
11:33:39AM STABILIZATION EFFORTS.
11:33:41AM YOUR R-MAP PROGRAM.
11:33:43AM WHAT COUNCIL VOTE TO INCLUDE ANOTHER $4 MILLION.
11:33:47AM THE MAYOR GIVE US $1 MILLION.
11:33:49AM WE RAN OUT OF THAT MONEY REALLY QUICKLY.
11:33:51AM WE FOUND AND REPROGRAMMED ANOTHER $4 MILLION AND THIS
11:33:55AM COUNCIL APPROVED THAT.
11:33:56AM THAT IS WHERE THAT STABILIZATION EFFORT IS.
11:33:59AM YOU SHOULD BE COMMENDED ON THAT.
11:34:02AM 1400 HOUSEHOLDS.
11:34:04AM 257 UNITS AND OF THAT, 244 HAVE LONG-TERM AFFORDABILITY
11:34:09AM PERIOD THAT ALSO INCLUDES VOUCHERS FOR THE SAFE AND QUALITY
11:34:16AM HOUSING.
11:34:16AM A PILOT PROGRAM WE LAUNCHED WITH A REPLACEMENT HOME.
11:34:20AM YOU MAY REMEMBER MR. BOOKER, I BELIEVE, WAS A VET PUSHING.
11:34:27AM THE HOME WAS BEYOND REPAIR AND THE 1300 WAS THE COST TO
11:34:31AM DEMOLISH THE HOUSE.
11:34:33AM $230,000 OR $260,000 THAT WILL BE REALLOCATED FOR THE WHERE
11:34:39AM REBUILD OF THAT HOME.
11:34:40AM WORK FORCE HOUSING, 1021 HOUSEHOLDS SERVED DOWNPAYMENT
11:34:46AM ASSISTANCE, OWNER-OCCUPIED REHAB AND INFILL DEVELOPMENT.
11:34:51AM YOU LOOK AT THAT LAST LINE, A TOTAL OF 2319, 261 LONG-TERM
11:35:02AM AFFORDABLE UNITS.
11:35:04AM LOOK TO THE RIGHT OF THAT, COSTING US $2256 PER HOUSEHOLD.
11:35:12AM FOR THE LONG-TERM AFFORDABLE, $28,491 PER UNIT.
11:35:19AM HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF LAND.
11:35:22AM IF YOU INCLUDE THE COST OF LAND FOR WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO
11:35:27AM BUILD MORE MOVEMENTS OR HAVE MORE UNITS.
11:35:30AM FOR INSTANCE, YOU RECENTLY APPROVED THE ROME YARD PROJECT.
11:35:33AM THAT IS LAND WE DID NOT HAVE TO PURCHASE.
11:35:35AM IT WAS INVENTORY THAT WE HAD.
11:35:36AM AND PROBABLY ABOUT $40 MILLION, TO $50 MILLION INVESTMENT ON
11:35:41AM CITY'S SIDE.
11:35:42AM $28,000 TO $29,000 PER UNIT FOR LONG-TERM AFFORDABILITY DID
11:35:48AM NOT INCLUDE LAND.
11:35:49AM WE ARE GOING THROUGH OUR INFILL PROGRAM.
11:35:52AM WE JUST DID ROME YARD.
11:35:54AM HERE IS THE THING UNLESS YOU ARE BUYING MORE PROPERTY, YOU
11:35:57AM ARE SELLING THE PROPERTY, YOU ARE MAKING THESE
11:36:01AM PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO HAVE THE LONG-TERM
11:36:03AM AFFORDABILITY, BUT UNLESS WE ARE ACQUIRING MORE LAND, WE GET
11:36:08AM INTO A DIFFICULT PERIOD OF HOW DO WE INCENTIVIZE TO WORK
11:36:11AM WITH DEVELOPERS TO INCREASE UNITS.
11:36:13AM SOMETHING FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
11:36:16AM THE REASON WHY WE ARE BREAKING DOWN THIS -- WE ARE GOING TO
11:36:22AM START SHOWING THE REPORTING LEANING THIS IS THAT WE REALLY
11:36:25AM NEED TO MATCH NOT JUST THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE, BUT HOW DOES
11:36:27AM IT MEET THE PRIORITIES THAT WE ESTABLISH.
11:36:29AM HOW ARE WE HELPING WITH TEMPORARY HOUSING.
11:36:31AM HOW ARE WE HELPING THE PROTECTED POPULATIONS AND THE
11:36:36AM HOUSING, MAKING PEOPLE WITH HOUSING STABLE SO IN THE LITTLE
11:36:42AM BLUE BOX, I MENTIONED THAT IS MONEY THAT IS NOT WORKING
11:36:45AM TOWARD OUR TOP FIVE PRIORITIES.
11:36:48AM THAT IS INFRASTRUCTURE.
11:36:49AM SO, FOR INSTANCE, YOU MAY HAVE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT
11:36:52AM NEEDS A WATER LINE CONNECTION FOR WASTEWATER CONNECTION.
11:37:00AM THAT WILL COME OUT OF THAT LINE ITEM.
11:37:02AM SOCIAL SERVICES.
11:37:03AM THESE ARE REGULATED FUND AND REALLY GO TO COUNSELING OR IN
11:37:08AM SOME CASES METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES MAY DO CASE MANAGER SO
11:37:15AM 873,000 OF 1.3 MILLION BUDGETED WILL GO -- HAVE BEEN
11:37:20AM EXTENDED FOR SOCIAL SERVICES.
11:37:22AM AS YOU ALTHOUGH OUTSIDE OF TAMPA.
11:37:24AM 2.1 MILLION IS FUNDED.
11:37:28AM HOPWA, HOUSING PEOPLE WITH AIDS CATEGORY.
11:37:34AM ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS?
11:37:37AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
11:37:38AM >>BILL CARLSON: JUST A COMMENT.
11:37:41AM NOT INCLUDE -- FOR OUR NEW COLLEAGUES DOES NOT INCLUDE CRA
11:37:46AM MONEY.
11:37:47AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THAT'S CORRECT.
11:37:47AM >>BILL CARLSON: YOU KNOW, WE AS A CRA OUT IN.
11:37:52AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: 20.2 MILLION.
11:37:54AM >>BILL CARLSON: 20.2 THIS YEAR.
11:37:58AM SO TALKING TO THE PUBLIC.
11:38:00AM WE KNOW THESE BUDGETS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SEPARATE AND CITY
11:38:04AM COUNCIL HAS DONE A LOT TO PUSH ON THE ISSUE.
11:38:06AM UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH MONEY WITH ALL THE
11:38:09AM THINGS GOING ON.
11:38:09AM NICOLE, I TOLD YOU PRIVATELY, BUT I THINK IN PARTICULAR WITH
11:38:15AM THE CRA MONEY, WE NEED TO FOCUS ON HOME OWNERSHIP AND DURING
11:38:24AM COVID WITH THE ESCALATION OF RENTS.
11:38:27AM WE SHIFTED A LOT OF MONEY TOWARD RENT -- RENTAL SUPPORT.
11:38:31AM EVERYTHING I LOOK AT IS THAT WE HAVE TO HELP PEOPLE GET INTO
11:38:34AM HOMES, BUY HOMES.
11:38:36AM AS WE MENTIONED BEFORE, STAY IN THEIR HOMES IF THEIR ROOF IS
11:38:40AM FALLING IN OR WHATEVER.
11:38:40AM SO I THINK SINCE THERE IS RENT STABILIZATION AND OTHER
11:38:45AM THINGS IN THERE, WITH THE OTHER BUCKET OF MONEY, FOCUS AS
11:38:49AM MUCH AS POSSIBLE HELPING PEOPLE BUY HOMES AND BUILDS
11:38:52AM INTERGENERATIONAL HEALTH AND HELP PEOPLE HAVE A SUSTAINED
11:38:55AM PLACE WHEN INFLATION HITS AGAIN, THEY OWN THEIR HOMES SO
11:38:58AM THEY DON'T -- AND THEY BENEFIT FROM INFLATION INSTEAD OF
11:39:02AM HAVING TO PAY MORE RENT.
11:39:03AM WE NEED TO DO BOTH.
11:39:05AM BUT WE HAVE LIMITED MONEY.
11:39:06AM AND THE MORE PEOPLE WE CAN GET INTO BUYING HOMES, THE
11:39:10AM BETTER.
11:39:11AM AS WE HAVE SAID ALSO, PROTECTING -- IF SOMEBODY OWN AS HOME
11:39:16AM AND THEIR ROOF IS FALLING IN, GRANTS WE HAVE DONE FOR THAT.
11:39:19AM FOR MY NEW COLLEAGUES AND THE PUBLIC, THE HOUSING AUTHORITY
11:39:25AM TOLD US THEIR OFFICIAL WAITING LIST IS 25,000 AND UNOFFICIAL
11:39:29AM LIST IS 50,000.
11:39:30AM THE CITY OF TAMPA CAN'T POSSIBLY BUILD THAT MANY.
11:39:33AM AND SO WE HAVE GOT TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO INCENTIVIZE THE
11:39:39AM PRIVATE SECTOR.
11:39:40AM NONPROFITS AND FOR PROFITS THAT CAN BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING
11:39:45AM TAKE OUR LIMITED DOLLARS AND STRETCH IT FAR THROUGH THAT.
11:39:48AM I MENTIONED LAST WEEK THAT WHEN I WAS IN AUSTIN, THE WEEK OR
11:39:54AM SO GO WITH AT ST. PETE CHAMBER AND MAYOR WELCH, THAT THE --
11:39:59AM THAT THE -- THE CITY OF AUSTIN FOLKS SAID THAT IF THEY CAN
11:40:02AM GO BACK TEN YEARS, THEY WILL TAKE THE NUMBER THAT THEY
11:40:05AM THOUGHT THEY NEEDED AND MULTIPLY IT BY 10.
11:40:08AM BY THE TIME WE TALK ABOUT IT HERE, WE TALKED ABOUT
11:40:14AM AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS STOPPING THE PACE OF GENTRIFICATION.
11:40:17AM HELPING FAMILIES.
11:40:18AM TALKED ABOUT IT FROM THE SOCIAL POINT OF VIEW.
11:40:21AM TO SOME EXTENT, TALKED OF WORK FORCE.
11:40:25AM COMPANIES NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO WORK FORCE.
11:40:28AM BUT IN AUSTIN, WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
11:40:33AM CRIPPLING THEIR ECONOMY.
11:40:36AM THEY CAN'T BUILD HOUSING FAST ENOUGH.
11:40:38AM COMPANIES ARE NOT MOVING THERE ANYMORE.
11:40:42AM THE MIDDLE-CLASS FOLKS -- SAME THING HAPPENED IN SILICON
11:40:46AM VALLEY.
11:40:46AM THE MIDDLE-CLASS FOLKS THAT DESPERATELY NEED TO WORK IN
11:40:49AM THEIR COMPANIES, THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE THERE ANYMORE AND
11:40:53AM THEY ARE LEAVING COMING TO PLACES LIKE TAMPA.
11:40:56AM LIT A FIRE UNDER ME.
11:40:57AM ROBIN AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN PUSH THIS FOR A LONG TIME, BUT A
11:41:02AM CRITICALLY IMPORTANT ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN DESTROY
11:41:04AM EVERYTHING.
11:41:04AM WE MIGHT HAVE TEN YEARS TO TRY TO CATCH UP.
11:41:08AM THE LAST THING YOU MENTIONED LAND.
11:41:11AM THE OTHER THING -- THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND THE GOVERNMENT
11:41:14AM TOLD US -- IF WE CAN GO BACK TEN YEARS BUY THE LAND AS MUCH
11:41:17AM AS POSSIBLE.
11:41:18AM SETTING UP THE LAND TRUST, BUT EVEN AS WE -- WITH A CRA
11:41:23AM SPENT $20 MILLION BUYING AS MUCH LAND AND PUTTING IT IN A
11:41:26AM LAND TRUST, THE SEED TO HELP PEOPLE BUY THEIR HOMES.
11:41:29AM AND THAT IS THE ROLE WE PLAY.
11:41:31AM BUT LAND IS GOING -- IT GOING TO GO UP EXPONENTIAL LEGAL
11:41:36AM AGAIN OVER THE THEN 10 TO 20 YEARS.
11:41:39AM WE GOT TO LOCK IT IN SOON.
11:41:41AM THANK YOU.
11:41:41AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: COUNCILMAN CARLSON, TO THE POINT OF THE CRA
11:41:46AM AND THE CRA CONTRIBUTION TO THE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
11:41:49AM INITIATIVE.
11:41:49AM BECAUSE OF THE CRA'S LEADERSHIP TO SET ASIDE THAT 30%, ALIS
11:41:55AM DRUMGO WORKED WITH THE CRA MANAGERS AND SECOND WEEK OF JUNE,
11:42:00AM WE ARE MEETING WITH EVERY CAC TO GO OVER ALL OF THE HOUSING
11:42:03AM PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE.
11:42:04AM ALMOST LIKE AN A LA CARTE OPTION, IF YOU WILL, AND TALK
11:42:09AM ABOUT WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE TYPICAL TO THEIR DISTRICTS AND
11:42:13AM TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE BEST SERVE THAT DISTRICT WITH
11:42:16AM YOUR HOUSING FUNDS.
11:42:17AM AND WE ARE GOING TO COME BACK AND BRING THAT RECOMMENDATION
11:42:20AM TO YOU.
11:42:20AM DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE IS ONE OF THOSE PROGRAMS.
11:42:24AM AND IT IS ONE THAT MOST OF THE CRAs HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED AS --
11:42:28AM AS ONE THAT THEY WANT TO FOCUS ON.
11:42:30AM THANK YOU FOR THAT.
11:42:31AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
11:42:35AM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU FOR THIS UPDATE.
11:42:37AM I LIKE THE NEW FORMAT.
11:42:39AM IT IS VERY CLEAR AND EASY TO SEE.
11:42:40AM LIKE THE ENCUMBERED PART WHICH SHOWS HOW QUICKLY WE RAN OUT
11:42:46AM OF MONEY.
11:42:47AM THAT $20 MILLION FOR STABILIZATION.
11:42:50AM UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
11:42:53AM THE NEED FOR STABILIZATION AS RENTS CONTINUE TO INCREASE IS
11:42:56AM -- IS -- AND PEOPLE CONTINUE TO MOVE HERE IS JUST ABSOLUTELY
11:43:00AM TERRIFYING.
11:43:00AM I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN CARLSON THAT HOMEOWNERSHIP IS
11:43:07AM WONDERFUL AND SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE WORKING TOWARD, BUT, I,
11:43:12AM AGAIN, WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE IDEA THAT HOME OWNERSHIP IN
11:43:16AM THIS CITY WILL LOOK DIFFERENT COMING -- MOVING FORWARD.
11:43:20AM WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LAND FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL
11:43:25AM TASK FORCE HOME.
11:43:26AM SO WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT COMP PLAN CHANGES.
11:43:29AM WE NEED TO LOOK AT ZONING.
11:43:31AM SO THAT WE CAN BUILD MORE DENSITY.
11:43:34AM SO WE CAN ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT THEIR FIRST HOME
11:43:42AM OR PERMANENT HOME MAY BE A CONDO OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF
11:43:48AM DEVELOPMENT.
11:43:48AM WE REALLY NEED TO WORK WITH FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY
11:43:51AM CAN AFFORD AND HELP PROVIDE THOSE TYPES OF UNITS.
11:43:55AM I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE OFF-LINE, BUT
11:44:00AM THIS IS GOING TO BE THE THINGS THAT I AM REALLY GOING TO
11:44:03AM FOCUS ON CHANGING, WHATEVER THE LAWS NEED TO CHANGE TO MAKE
11:44:07AM THAT A REALITY.
11:44:08AM AND PROVIDE.
11:44:12AM WE ARE SEEING THAT SOMEWHAT IN THESE TOWN HOMES BUT NOT
11:44:16AM REMOTELY AFFORDABLE.
11:44:19AM HOW TO BUILD THESE TYPES OF HOMES THAT ACTUALLY HAVE THE
11:44:23AM AFFORDABILITY THAT THE CITIZENS NEED.
11:44:25AM NICK MAY ANY THE ONE THING TO CONSIDER -- ONE THING THAT WE
11:44:32AM ARE WORKING THROUGH WITH THE TOWN HOMES AND THE DIFFERENT
11:44:35AM OWNERSHIP MODEL AND REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT AND HOW
11:44:38AM IT RELATES TO THE COMMUNITY'S LAND TRUST, IS BECAUSE WHEN
11:44:42AM YOU HAVE ATTACHED SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, THERE IS ADDITIONAL
11:44:45AM COSTS.
11:44:45AM SO YOU HAVE HOA AND OTHER GUYS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT THAT IS
11:44:51AM THEN ADDED ON TO THE MORTGAGE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ON FIXED
11:44:57AM INCOME OR LOW INCOMES.
11:44:58AM SOMETHING WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO -- HOW
11:45:02AM DOES THAT STRUCTURE.
11:45:03AM HOW DOES THIS COMMUNITY LAND TRUST HELP WITH THAT ADDITIONAL
11:45:07AM COST AND STRUCTURE FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP.
11:45:10AM >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU KNOW, I AGREE, BUT THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY
11:45:14AM DOING IT ELSEWHERE.
11:45:15AM I MEAN-LOOKING AT CO-OP MODELS AND ALL SORTS OF WAYS.
11:45:20AM BUT, YES, THERE NEEDS -- AND THAT IS PART OF THE PROCESS.
11:45:23AM WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME EDUCATION AND THAT WILL HAVE
11:45:27AM TO BE A LARGE PART.
11:45:28AM BUT IF PEOPLE WANT TO STAY IN THE CITY, THAT IS -- WE JUST
11:45:32AM DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS AT THIS POINT.
11:45:34AM SO CHANGING THE NARRATIVE OF WHAT HOMEOWNERSHIP LOOK LIKE,
11:45:39AM WORKING ON CO-OP MODELS FOR PEOPLE THAT CHOOSE TO GO THAT
11:45:48AM ROUTE, I THINK -- WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS.
11:45:50AM SO I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON THAT.
11:45:53AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THANK YOU.
11:45:54AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA.
11:45:56AM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
11:45:58AM AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSTANT WORK ON THIS.
11:46:00AM I ALWAYS SAY ON THIS ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE.
11:46:03AM AND IT IS OVER THE TERM "ALL OF THE ABOVE" IS A VAGUE AND
11:46:08AM OVERSIMPLISTIC AND FOR THIS IT IS TRUE.
11:46:11AM YOU NEED TO LOOK AT COMP PLAN CHANGES AS HAVE BEEN NOTED.
11:46:14AM TAKING A LOOK AT -- YOU KNOW WITH DEVELOPMENTS AND NATHAN
11:46:19AM HAGAN TALKS OF THE NARRATIVE THAT A LOT OF TIMES HAPPENINGS
11:46:24AM WHEN THERE IS AFFORDABLE OR WORKFORCE HOUSING THAT IS THERE,
11:46:29AM AND YOU HAVE TO PLAY THAT INTO CONSIDERATION HAVING ACTIVIST
11:46:31AM GOVERNMENT PLAY A ROLE WHERE GOVERNMENT GIVES SUBSIDIES AND
11:46:36AM OPPORTUNITIES ON THINGS THAT ARE THE BASIC NECESSITY OF LIFE
11:46:39AM THAT GOVERNMENT IS THERE TO PROVIDE TO THE PEOPLE WHICH THEY
11:46:44AM CANNOT GET IN THEIR OWN.
11:46:45AM THE ECONOMY WHEN HOUSING AND RENT COSTS WENT UP 40%.
11:46:49AM THE AVERAGE RENTAL COST IS $1800, $1900.
11:46:55AM YOU CAN'T GET THAT ON YOUR OWN AND YOU NEED A LOT OF
11:46:58AM GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE IN THAT REGARD.
11:47:00AM AND QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES.
11:47:02AM LOOKING AT NOT JUST AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT QUALITY HOUSING.
11:47:06AM WE TALKED A LOT OF A LOT OF COMMUNITIES OUT THERE.
11:47:09AM SOME APARTMENT COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN HIGHLIGHTED IN THE
11:47:12AM MEDIA TIMBER FALLS, 113th STREET.
11:47:16AM SO MANY OUT THERE THAT FOLKS SURVIVE AND THEY ARE PAYING
11:47:19AM THOUSAND, 1100, 1200 TO LIVE IN PLACES WHERE THEY ARE
11:47:24AM UNSAFE.
11:47:24AM THEY ARE UNSANITARY, ETC., ETC., AND WE ALL NEED TO DO
11:47:29AM BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO THAT ISSUE.
11:47:31AM THE CITY PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THIS.
11:47:34AM THE COUNTY PLAY AS BE IMPORTANT ROLE IN THIS.
11:47:36AM I FEAR THAT THE POTENTIAL NARRATIVE -- AND, AGAIN, THINGS
11:47:40AM CHANGE IN COUNTY COMMISSIONS AND CITY COUNCILS, ETC.
11:47:43AM BUT IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE -- LET'S PUT THIS WAY,
11:47:46AM WHERE THE COUNTY COMMISSION IS GOING TO GO WHEN IT COMES TO
11:47:49AM AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND SOME OF THE ISSUES I TALKED WITH.
11:47:53AM A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY DON'T NEW YORK MY FLORIDA.
11:47:56AM I ALWAYS SAY THAT, DON'T MIAMI TAMPA, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT
11:48:01AM I SEE HAPPENING HERE WHERE, YOU KNOW, THOSE IN THE MIDDLE
11:48:05AM CLASS AND THOSE STRUGGLING AND WORK SO HARD TO GET IN THE
11:48:08AM MIDDLE CLASS HAVE BEEN PRICED OUT OF HOMES.
11:48:10AM IF THE AVERAGE IS RENT IS ABOUT $1800, $1900, IMAGINE IF YOU
11:48:18AM WERE -- TAKE UP -- WHAT 40% OR SO OF YOUR -- OF YOUR PRETAX
11:48:23AM INCOME JUST FOR APARTMENT.
11:48:26AM SO PRICES OUT A LOT OF FOLKS.
11:48:28AM TWO AREAS WE ARE WORKING ON AS WELL.
11:48:30AM WE ARE HAVING VETERAN HOUSING COMING UP BEFORE US.
11:48:33AM I THINK IN THE NEXT CRA MEETING IF I RECALL RECENTLY, ISSUES
11:48:38AM OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WAS MENTIONED.
11:48:40AM I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION ON THAT FOR -- -- AFTER THE
11:48:44AM CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF HOUSING WITH PEOPLE WITH
11:48:48AM DISABILITIES AND TAKING A LOOK AT GROUP HOMES AND
11:48:52AM RESIDENTIAL LIVING IN OUR PLANS WITH PEOPLE WITH
11:48:56AM INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES.
11:48:59AM MY OLDEST BROTHER LIVED IN A GROUP HOME.
11:49:03AM HALF THE WEEK WITH MY MOM AND HALF A WEEK IN THE GROUP HOME.
11:49:06AM AND HAVES ROSY DELGADO HERE, IS A GOOD ILLUSTRATION OF FOLKS
11:49:10AM THAT NEED THAT KIND OF HOUSING.
11:49:12AM A LOT OF DIFFERENT ACUTE THINGS WE HAVE TO LOOK AT, BUT,
11:49:15AM AGAIN, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING, BUT AT THE CENTER MUCH
11:49:19AM IT, A ROBUST DEDICATION TO HELPING PEOPLE OBTAIN THE BASIC
11:49:24AM NECESSITIES OF LIFE THEY CAN'T OBTAIN ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT
11:49:27AM GOVERNMENT HELP.
11:49:28AM THANK YOU.
11:49:28AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:49:32AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:49:34AM FROM COUNCILMEMBERS, STARTING WITH MR. CARLSON ON THE TRIP
11:49:37AM TO AUSTIN.
11:49:39AM WE CAN TALK ALL YOU WANT.
11:49:41AM YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE MONEY YOU WANT OR NO MONEY AT ALL.
11:49:44AM BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, I DON'T THINK YOU WILL HAVE THE
11:49:47AM LAND TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
11:49:48AM I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LAND THE CITY OWNS NOW, UNLESS YOU
11:49:52AM LAND BANK, MANY, MANY, MANY -- ALL THAT IS AVAILABLE, ST.
11:49:57AM STILL WILL BE SHORT ON WHAT THE GOAL IS.
11:49:59AM BECAUSE YOU WON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO IT.
11:50:01AM FROM WHAT I HEAR, THE EXPLOSION OF PEOPLE MOVING INTO
11:50:05AM FLORIDA IS PUSHING 900 A DAY.
11:50:07AM AND NO MATTER WHERE THEY GO, TO ST. PETE, ORLANDO, ANYWHERE,
11:50:15AM THE SAME PROBLEM, EXACERBATE THE SYSTEM BECAUSE THE FUNDS
11:50:20AM EQUAL ONE AMOUNT.
11:50:21AM THE NEED EQUAL ANOTHER ONE.
11:50:23AM BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU TRY TO PUT THEM TOGETHER, GUESS
11:50:26AM WHAT, THE INSURANCE COST TO RENT A HOUSE GOES UP.
11:50:29AM I SAW THIS MORNING ON TELEVISION WHERE THE AUTO INSURANCE IS
11:50:32AM GOING TO GO UP BETWEEN 4% TO 8%.
11:50:35AM THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT INDIRECTLY AFFECT THE COST OF THE
11:50:38AM HOUSE.
11:50:38AM BECAUSE THE MONEY HAS GOT TO BE USED FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
11:50:41AM FOOD KEEPS COMING UP AT A DIFFERENT RATE EVERY WEEK.
11:50:44AM EGGS GO UP AND DOWN.
11:50:46AM UP UNDERSTAND IT -- THEY HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE
11:50:49AM CHICKEN WITH THE DISEASE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
11:50:51AM BUT SOONER OR LATER GOING TO COME WITH HOW DO YOU MAKE IT
11:50:55AM WORK BECAUSE YOU CANNOT FOCUS ON THE HEALTH.
11:50:58AM YOU HAVE HOUSE.
11:50:59AM YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON THE OUTSIDE DEBT.
11:51:02AM THESE ARE THINGS -- I WISH I COULD TELL YOU WE CAN FIX IT.
11:51:07AM DO THE BEST WE CAN.
11:51:08AM BUT I DON'T THINK THIS CITY OR ANY CITY IN FLORIDA WILL
11:51:14AM HANDLE WHAT IS COMING.
11:51:15AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
11:51:18AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL ECHO SOMETHING THAT BILL CARLSON
11:51:21AM SAID AND GO BACK TO WHAT CHARLIE MIRANDA JUST SAID.
11:51:24AM PART OF THE PROBLEM IS, WE HAVE SOME OF THESE TEMPORARY
11:51:30AM PROGRAMS TO ASSIST PEOPLE THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES WHICH IS
11:51:33AM IMPORTANT FOR JUST SOCIETY TO HAVE THAT, BUT WE ALSO CAN'T
11:51:37AM GIVE OUT FALSE HOPE IN THAT.
11:51:39AM SORT OF WHAT CHARLIE MIRANDA JUST SAID, THE BUDGET -- THE
11:51:43AM NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY FAR EXCEEDS WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO AS
11:51:46AM A CITY.
11:51:47AM AND ONE OF THE BEST SOLUTIONS THAT WE CAN FIND AND STILL NOT
11:51:50AM A SOLUTION FOR EVERYONE, BUT I THINK HAVING -- ENCOURAGING
11:51:54AM HOMEOWNERSHIP IN WHATEVER FORM THAT TAKES IS PROBABLY ONE OF
11:51:58AM THE MOST LONGER TERM THING THAT WE CAN DO IN THE CITY OF
11:52:02AM TAMPA.
11:52:02AM SOME OF THIS OTHER STUFF, AGAIN, IS BAND-AID-TYPE APPROACH.
11:52:07AM CREATING GENERATIONAL WEALTH THROUGH LAND AND OWNERSHIP
11:52:12AM IMPORTANT.
11:52:13AM I HAVE APPREHENSION OF SOME OF THE PROPOSALS I HEAR, KIND OF
11:52:20AM DIMINISHING LAND OWNERSHIP IN SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS.
11:52:21AM I WILL LOOK AT THAT WITH A WARY EYE AS I LOOK AT THIS I
11:52:25AM THINK SO.
11:52:25AM I THINK OUR CURRENT FREE MARKET TYPE OF SYSTEM CAN WORK.
11:52:28AM AND IN THE LONGER TERM WORK FORK FAMILIES.
11:52:32AM BUT I APPRECIATE PRESIDENT HOMEOWNER INSURANCE COST IN THE
11:52:39AM STATE OF FLORIDA AND LEGISLATURE TO HELP TAMPA FAMILIES AND
11:52:44AM SAVE PEOPLE'S HOME FIXING THE INSURANCE.
11:52:46AM WE ARE NOT DOING THAT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
11:52:48AM IT MUST BE DONE IN TALLAHASSEE AND WILL GO A LONG WAY OF
11:52:55AM KEEPING SENIOR CITIZENS IN THEIR HOUSES.
11:52:57AM THANK YOU.
11:52:58AM WRAP IT UP.
11:52:59AM DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING MORE?
11:53:03AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: ONE MORE SLIDE.
11:53:04AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COMING OFF THIS CAMPAIGN AND HOUSING WAS
11:53:07AM THE BIGGEST TOPIC.
11:53:09AM BIGGEST TOPIC.
11:53:10AM TALK ABOUT TRANSPORTATION, BUT HOUSING IS THE NUMBER ONE
11:53:13AM THING.
11:53:13AM HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.
11:53:15AM PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO BE HERE.
11:53:16AM PEOPLE PUSHED OUT OF THEIR COMMUNITIES AND HOMES.
11:53:18AM WHAT WE ARE DOING IS GREAT.
11:53:20AM WE HAVE TO KEEP ON.
11:53:21AM AND LOOK AT EVERY OPTION THAT WE CAN.
11:53:25AM THAT WE CAN LEGALLY TO DO KEEP PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES.
11:53:27AM PUTTING PEOPLE IN HOUSING, IN THE CITY OF TAMPA WITHOUT
11:53:30AM HAVING TO PUSH ANYBODY OUT.
11:53:32AM SO -- YES, MA'AM.
11:53:34AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THANK YOU.
11:53:35AM SO MY PRESENTATION WAS ADDRESSING TWO ITEMS.
11:53:39AM THE SECOND -- I THINK I DID THEM OUT OF ORDER.
11:53:43AM THE ONE ABOUT THE TENANT ADVOCACY OFFICE.
11:53:47AM THE TENANT SERVICES TEAM.
11:53:49AM WE EXTENDED TWO OFFERS FOR THE TENANT SERVICES TEAM.
11:53:53AM AND THE KEY OBJECTIVES FOR THAT TENANT SERVICES TEAM IN THAT
11:53:57AM OFFICE IS TO CONNECT RESIDENTS WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND
11:54:00AM OUTSIDE AGENCIES TO HELP WITH SPECIFIC ISSUES.
11:54:03AM OFFER REFERRALS TO DEAL WITH EVICTIONS, RETALIATION AND
11:54:11AM DISCRIMINATION USING OUR BAY AREA LEGAL SERVICES CONTRACT
11:54:14AM THAT YOU RECENTLY APPROVED OR EXTENDED THE CONTRACT FOR
11:54:17AM THAT.
11:54:18AM REQUIRING LANDLORDS TO PROVIDE NOTICE TO TENANT RIGHTS AND
11:54:22AM CREATING A DATABASE WITH LANDLORDS WITH VACANT UNITS
11:54:26AM AVAILABLE FOR RENT.
11:54:28AM ENGAGE WITH TEAMS FOR UNITS FOR PERMANENT AND STABLE
11:54:32AM HOUSING.
11:54:32AM AND SO -- AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT
11:54:37AM OFFICE TO STAND UP.
11:54:38AM IT WAS STOOD UP LIKE -- I THINK WITHIN 24-48 HOURS WHEN YOU
11:54:42AM GUYS WERE HEARING A LOT FROM OUR RESIDENTS AND WE
11:54:45AM TRANSFORMED THAT INTO OUR TENANT SERVICES TEAM.
11:54:50AM STAFFED BY TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES AND NOW GETTING JOB
11:54:53AM DESCRIPTIONS AND GOING THROUGH THAT RECRUITMENT PROCESS.
11:54:57AM IT WILL BE STAFFED WITH TWO FULL-TIME PERMANENT EMPLOYEES.
11:55:00AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:55:03AM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
11:55:04AM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
11:55:05AM I KNOW WE ARE SORT OF JUST GETTING GOING WITH THIS, BUT THE
11:55:11AM HOTLINE HAS STILL BEEN THIS PLACE.
11:55:13AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THE TENANT SERVICES TEAM HAS BEEN
11:55:17AM FUNCTIONS.
11:55:17AM FUNCTIONS WITH TEMPORARY STAFF AND JUST TO UPDATE TO TELL
11:55:21AM YOU WHERE WE ARE WITH THE PERMANENT STAFF.
11:55:23AM THE HOUSING HOTLINE IS STILL OPENING.
11:55:26AM WE ARE TRANSITIONING THAT -- THAT PHONE LINE.
11:55:28AM WE -- YOU CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE.
11:55:30AM WE WILL CALL YOU BACK.
11:55:31AM BECAUSE WHAT WAS HAPPENING WE WERE STAFFING -- AND THE CALLS
11:55:35AM WEREN'T COMING IN.
11:55:36AM WE HAVE BEEN MONITORING THE DATA AND THE TRENDS SO WE HAVE
11:55:39AM STAFF TO MAN THE CALLS.
11:55:40AM AND THAT TYPICALLY HAPPENED BETWEEN 4 AND 7 P.M.
11:55:46AM NORTHWEST REALLY DURING THE DAY.
11:55:49AM KIND OF TWEAKING.
11:55:50AM STILL UP AND STILL RUNNING AND THE TENANT SERVICES TEAM.
11:55:53AM EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ONLY REPORTING FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES
11:55:56AM STARTING NOW, THAT -- THAT OFFICE HAS BEEN SET UP.
11:56:01AM >>LYNN HURTAK: SO WHAT I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO IN THE NEXT
11:56:07AM REPORT IS SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE JUST SAW WITH THE
11:56:09AM HOUSING BUCKETS.
11:56:11AM BECAUSE I AM CURIOUS ABOUT, LIKE, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE
11:56:15AM HELPED WHERE BAY AREA LEGAL.
11:56:16AM WHAT KIND OF MONEY HAVE WE -- HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE WE
11:56:19AM EXTENDED THERE ALREADY.
11:56:21AM LIKE, I KNOW WE ALLOCATED 400,000 TO THIS.
11:56:25AM YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF -- WHAT -- HOW MUCH MONEY HAS BEEN
11:56:30AM SPENT, ENCUMBERED.
11:56:33AM THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE HELPED.
11:56:35AM AND THEN, OF COURSE, NOT JUST WITH THE NOTICE OF TENANT
11:56:39AM RIGHTS, BUT HOW DO WE BEGIN TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH
11:56:44AM THE PUBLIC.
11:56:44AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: SURE.
11:56:45AM WE WILL ADD THAT TO THE REPORT IN SOME KIND OF METRIC FORM.
11:56:49AM >>LYNN : I CAN GET WITH YOU OFF-LINE WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO
11:56:53AM SEE.
11:56:53AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: SURE, THE BAY AREA LEGAL SERVICES CONTRACT.
11:56:56AM YOU EXTENDED THAT.
11:56:59AM A PILOT PROGRAM.
11:56:59AM WE HELPED TWO PEOPLE WITH THAT PROGRAM.
11:57:02AM AND I THINK THAT'S IT.
11:57:06AM YEAH.
11:57:07AM >>LYNN HURTAK: WOW, THEN WE NEED TO GET INFORMATION OUT
11:57:09AM ABOUT THAT PROGRAM.
11:57:10AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: YEAH.
11:57:11AM GET INFORMATION OUT, BUT THERE IS ALSO A SCREENING.
11:57:15AM SOMETIMES IF YOU ARE BEING EVICTED -- IT DEPENDS.
11:57:19AM DEPENDS, YES.
11:57:20AM SO WE ARE GETTING CALLS AND SCREEN THEM AND ULTIMATELY THEY
11:57:25AM MAY NOT END UP IN THE CASE.
11:57:27AM WE CAN DEFINITELY TALK OFF-LINE WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE
11:57:31AM AND WHATEVER METRICS AND DATA WE PROVIDE WILL BE AVAILABLE
11:57:34AM IN THE NEXT QUARTER.
11:57:36AM >> AWESOME.
11:57:36AM I AM CURIOUS HOW MANY PHONE CALLS ABOUT THE AREA.
11:57:39AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: WE HAVE THE DATA ON THE PHONE CALLS AND YOU
11:57:43AM WILL SEE A STRONG DECLINE IN THE NUMBERS AND THEN THE TYPE
11:57:45AM OF CALLS THAT WE ARE GETTING.
11:57:47AM SO WE WILL BRING THAT TO YOU.
11:57:49AM >> ABSOLUTELY.
11:57:52AM I SEE HOUSING ADVOCATES HERE THAT ABSOLUTELY HELP TO GET
11:57:55AM THAT INFORMATION OUT.
11:57:58AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: I TALK TO MISS LOCKETT A LOT.
11:58:02AM I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE KAYON HENDERSON.
11:58:07AM SHE SITS SILENTLY ON THE SIDE BUT A TRUE ROCK STAR AND IS IN
11:58:11AM THE TRENCHES AND WORKING.
11:58:15AM AND WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS TO
11:58:18AM REALLY GO THROUGH ALL OF THE FUNDING SOURCES WE HAVE TO
11:58:21AM LAYER THEM WITH OUR -- WITH OUR PRIORITY LIST.
11:58:25AM AND IT HAS BEEN A HUGE UNDERTAKING AND HARD TO DO THAT WHEN
11:58:30AM YOU HAVE THE OUTCRY AND NEED FOR HELP IN TRYING TO HELP OUR
11:58:34AM CITIZENS AND TO BE STRATEGIC AND INTENTIONAL MOVING FORWARD.
11:58:39AM I REALLY WANT TO THANK HER.
11:58:41AM ABBYE FEELEY, ALIS DRUMGO, AND REBECCA JOHNS FOR REALLY -- I
11:58:47AM MEAN WE HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD AT THIS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL
11:58:50AM MONTHS.
11:58:51AM >>LYNN HURTAK: IT ABSOLUTELY SHOWS.
11:58:52AM I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN BECAUSE THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE
11:58:54AM DIDN'T HAVE THE CLARITY OF DATA THAT WE HAVE NOW, AND I HAVE
11:58:57AM NO DOUBT THAT YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS TO ALL THE STUFF.
11:59:00AM YOU HAVE THE DATA.
11:59:01AM IT'S A MATTER OF SHOWING IT.
11:59:04AM YOU REALLY SHOULD BE COMMENDED BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEGINNING
11:59:07AM -- I MEAN, BASICALLY WE STARTED FROM SCRATCH.
11:59:09AM WE HAD NOTHING.
11:59:10AM THE CITY HAD NOT DONE ANY OF THIS TYPE OF WORK BEFORE, AND
11:59:15AM I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO NEXT.
11:59:20AM REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE DATA.
11:59:21AM SO THANK YOU.
11:59:23AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: CAN I SAY ONE MORE THING?
11:59:25AM THE ATTORNEY WILL HAMMER ME IF I DON'T SAY THIS.
11:59:28AM I'M ASKING THE CLERK TO RECORD AND FILE THE PRESENTATION
11:59:30AM THAT I PROVIDED TO YOU, PLEASE.
11:59:31AM I JUST DON'T WANT TO FORGET.
11:59:35AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE FROM COUNCIL
11:59:38AM MEMBER HURTAK, SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
11:59:42AM ALL IN FAVOR?
11:59:42AM AYE.
11:59:43AM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO FORGET.
11:59:46AM SORRY.
11:59:47AM >>BILL CARLSON: ONE MORE QUICK, QUICK THING.
11:59:49AM I ALSO MENTIONED TO NICOLE, PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT ZONING
11:59:52AM AND LAND USE.
11:59:54AM I THINK THE COMPLICATED PART OF IT IS IN THE DETAILS OF IT.
11:59:59AM IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO GO BUILD MULTIFAMILY IN THE HEART OF
12:00:02PM HYDE PARK, GOOD LUCK.
12:00:04PM YOU'RE GOING TO GET RUN OUT OF TOWN.
12:00:10PM THERE ARE PLACES, THOUGH, ALONG CORRIDORS AND OTHER PLACES
12:00:12PM THAT WE CAN PUT DENSITY.
12:00:14PM WE'VE ASKED THAT QUESTION.
12:00:15PM THERE ARE ALSO PLACES WHERE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE ALREADY
12:00:17PM SURPASSED THE TIPPING POINT ON DEVELOPMENT.
12:00:21PM AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE
12:00:25PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IN THOSE AREAS, THEY SELL FOR WHAT THEY
12:00:29PM THINK IS A GOOD PRICE.
12:00:30PM THEN THE DEVELOPER CHANGES THE ZONING AND THE DEVELOPER
12:00:32PM MAKES THE DELTA OF THE CHANGE IN ZONING.
12:00:35PM AND I THINK AS WE START GOING THROUGH THESE NEIGHBORHOODS,
12:00:38PM WE NEED TO CHANGE THE WAY WE TALK TO PEOPLE AND SAY, LOOK,
12:00:42PM IF WE CHANGE THE ZONING OR THE COMP PLAN IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU
12:00:45PM HAVE TO CHANGE TODAY.
12:00:46PM DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO SELL TODAY.
12:00:48PM WOULDN'T YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RATHER MAKE THAT MONEY THAN THE
12:00:51PM DEVELOPERS MAKE THE MONEY?
12:00:51PM THE DEVELOPERS ARE HAPPY BECAUSE THEY'LL GO IN EVENTUALLY
12:00:54PM AND DO ALL THIS WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY THE EXTRA COST.
12:00:57PM I JUST THINK WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT DIFFERENTLY AND TALK
12:01:01PM ABOUT IT FROM THE BENEFIT AND POINT OF VIEW OF THE
12:01:02PM RESIDENTS.
12:01:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:01:04PM WE'RE STILL ON THE HOUSING.
12:01:12PM WE WRAPPED UP THE PRESENTATION.
12:01:17PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: HOUSING IS SUCH A COMPLICATED ISSUE, AND
12:01:20PM THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SPEAKING ABOUT IT ON THE DAIS.
12:01:24PM I UNDERSTAND AND RECOGNIZE THAT THE CITY IS A CONTRIBUTOR TO
12:01:28PM HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN OUR CITY.
12:01:30PM WE ARE NOT THE DO-ALL, BE-ALL.
12:01:34PM AND THAT MAKES IT VERY CHALLENGING.
12:01:35PM IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY CHALLENGING SITUATION.
12:01:38PM THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LAND TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO BUILD
12:01:40PM MORE HOUSING.
12:01:41PM I KNOW THAT IS A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT
12:01:45PM IS TRUE.
12:01:46PM WE DO HAVE TO GET CREATIVE.
12:01:47PM HOW WE DO THAT IS THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH OUR PRIVATE
12:01:50PM PARTNERS.
12:01:52PM I AM GOING ON RECORD BY SAYING I THINK THAT THE COST OF
12:01:58PM HOUSING IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
12:02:01PM I DON'T THINK IT COSTS AS MUCH AS THEY ARE SAYING THIS HOUSE
12:02:04PM COSTS $400,000, YOU BUILT IT TWO YEARS AGO FOR 189.
12:02:10PM SO WHY ARE YOU CHARGING SO MUCH?
12:02:12PM THAT IS A REAL CONVERSATION WE NEED TO HAVE WITH DEVELOPERS.
12:02:15PM I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE PROFIT IN IT.
12:02:18PM THEY DESERVE TO MAKE A PROFIT, BUT IT IS COSTING ORDINARY
12:02:21PM CITIZENS WHO DON'T HAVE THE INCOME TO AFFORD THE 400 AND 500
12:02:25PM THOUSAND DOLLAR HOUSING.
12:02:26PM IT IS A CHALLENGING ISSUE.
12:02:28PM I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TACKLING IT, BUT THE CITY IS ONLY A
12:02:32PM REPRESENTATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
12:02:35PM WE CANNOT DO IT ALL ALONE.
12:02:37PM WE NEED THE PARTNERSHIPS AND WE NEED THE SUPPORT OF THE
12:02:43PM DEVELOPERS TO ADDRESS THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
12:02:46PM AFFORDABILITY AND THE WORD ATTAINABILITY IS SAID AROUND HERE
12:02:50PM A LOT.
12:02:50PM THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHT.
12:02:53PM ON JUST A SMALL NOTE, I PURCHASED MY HOME THROUGH THE CITY
12:02:56PM OF TAMPA CHALLENGE FUND WITH MAYOR SANDY FREEDMAN.
12:03:00PM IT TOOK A LOT FOR ME TO JUST GET A THOUSAND DOLLARS AS A
12:03:05PM TEACHER, THE DEPOSIT ON A $22,000 SALARY.
12:03:10PM BUT I BOUGHT A HOME IN TAMPA HEIGHTS WHEN IT WAS
12:03:13PM DILAPIDATED.
12:03:14PM ALL MY FRIENDS THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY.
12:03:16PM SO I DO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES IN URBAN
12:03:21PM SPACES, ESPECIALLY IN MY DISTRICT, EAST TAMPA IN PARTICULAR
12:03:26PM TO REDEVELOP OUR COMMUNITIES, THE BLIGHT, RESOLVE THE
12:03:31PM BLIGHT.
12:03:31PM I LOOK FORWARD TO FINDING SOLUTIONS TO DOING THAT.
12:03:35PM I COULD GO ON AND ON, YOU KNOW, BUT BREVITY IS ALSO
12:03:37PM IMPORTANT.
12:03:38PM SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
12:03:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:03:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK: JUST ONE MORE THING I WANTED TO SAY THAT I'VE
12:03:47PM TALKED TO NICOLE ALREADY ABOUT COMBINING THESE TWO REPORTS
12:03:50PM TO COME UP QUARTERLY.
12:03:53PM ONCE SHE AND I FIGURE OUT THE CALENDAR FOR IT, I WILL COME
12:03:58PM BACK WITH THE MOTION TO CONTINUE THESE.
12:04:01PM BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, WE'RE NOT GOING TO CONTINUE IT.
12:04:05PM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: WE'LL INCLUDE THE TENANT SERVICES TEAM WITH
12:04:08PM THE QUARTERLY HOUSING BUCKETS AND I'LL PROVIDE YOU THE DATES
12:04:14PM SO THAT IT'S AFTER OUR HUD QUARTERLY REPORTING.
12:04:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH, SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL THE UPDATE
12:04:22PM INFORMATION MOVING FORWARD.
12:04:22PM I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS AND THANK YOU FOR WORKING
12:04:25PM WITH ME ON MOVING THAT FORWARD.
12:04:26PM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THANK YOU.
12:04:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
12:04:30PM I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO REMOVE THESE ITEMS FROM THE
12:04:34PM CONTINUATION UNTIL WE HAVE A CALENDAR SET.
12:04:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
12:04:42PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON.
12:04:44PM ALL IN FAVOR?
12:04:45PM AYE.
12:04:45PM IS THAT ALL?
12:04:47PM >>NICOLE TRAVIS: THAT'S IT.
12:04:48PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:04:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYTHING FROM MR. PERRY?
12:04:50PM I SAW HIM IN THE ROOM.
12:04:52PM ARE YOU GOOD?
12:04:53PM >> THE NEXT ONE, SIR.
12:04:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
12:04:54PM MR. WASHINGTON, THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
12:04:57PM ALL FOR YOU.
12:05:00PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: APPRECIATE IT, SIR.
12:05:01PM MR. PERRY IS HERE TO ASSIST, IF NEEDED.
12:05:08PM I'M LARRY WASHINGTON, DIRECTOR OF SOLID WASTE AND
12:05:36PM ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM MANAGEMENT.
12:05:37PM FIRST AND FOREMOST, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO GO LAST.
12:05:41PM MS. TRAVIS, THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP AND COVERING YOUR
12:05:43PM ITEMS WHILE I WAS OUT.
12:05:45PM WE'RE TRYING TO BALANCE OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THIS MORNING
12:05:47PM AND THOUGHT THAT WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN BEFORE THE REPORT.
12:05:52PM WE'RE HERE TODAY.
12:05:53PM THANK YOU.
12:05:53PM I AM HERE TO ADDRESS A MOTION BROUGHT FORTH BY COUNCILWOMAN
12:05:58PM HURTAK.
12:06:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: STRAIGHTEN IT OUT.
12:06:02PM IT'S A CROOKED AND ZOOM OUT.
12:06:05PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: I'M HERE TO ADDRESS A MOTION BROUGHT
12:06:11PM FORWARD BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK IN REGARDS TO SOLID WASTE
12:06:13PM RATES AND SPECIFICALLY RESIDENTIAL RATES.
12:06:15PM YARD WASTE SERVICE, GARBAGE SERVICE, AND, OF COURSE,
12:06:20PM RECYCLING SERVICE AS WELL.
12:06:23PM HERE ON THE ELMO, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CURRENT SOLID WASTE
12:06:27PM RESIDENTIAL RATE IS $34.91.
12:06:30PM I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THAT IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE WITH
12:06:33PM OUR LIKE CITIES, SIMILAR TO MIAMI, CLEARWATER, AND
12:06:36PM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, OF COURSE.
12:06:37PM AS YOU CAN SEE, LISTED ON THE ELMO, 35% OF THAT IS REGARDING
12:06:43PM COLLECTION.
12:06:44PM 65 IS TOWARDS DISPOSAL AS WELL.
12:06:47PM AND BACK IN 2012, WE HAD A RATE STUDY DONE.
12:06:54PM YOU CAN SEE THE RATES AS FOLLOWS.
12:06:57PM THIS LED US TO OUR CURRENT RATE TODAY AT $34.91.
12:07:01PM CURRENTLY A RATE STUDY IS UNDERWAY.
12:07:06PM THE ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE IS DECEMBER 2023, AND WITH
12:07:10PM THAT REPORT COMING TO YOU ALL IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2024.
12:07:14PM FOR THOSE THAT HAVE RECENTLY JOINED CITY COUNCIL,
12:07:22PM CONGRATULATIONS AS WELL.
12:07:23PM I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL.
12:07:25PM HOPEFULLY YOU MAKE TIME TO COME OUT TO THE SOLID WASTE
12:07:27PM DEPARTMENT SO WE CAN HAVE A QUICK CONVERSATION.
12:07:30PM I CAN SHOW YOU SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE SOLID WASTE
12:07:32PM DEPARTMENT IS DOING OUTSIDE OF YOUR REGULAR EVERYDAY DUTIES.
12:07:35PM BUT LISTED HERE WE HAVE THE CITY OBSERVED HOLIDAYS.
12:07:39PM THIS IS WHAT STEMMED THIS QUESTION THAT WAS POSED BY
12:07:42PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
12:07:42PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE ARE ALL THE HOLIDAYS THAT ARE AFFECTED
12:07:46PM BY THE HOLIDAY COLLECTION, WHICH WAS CHAMPIONED AT ONE POINT
12:07:51PM IN TIME BY OUR FORMER DIRECTOR, MR. WILFALK AND THE FORMER
12:07:55PM DIRECTOR BEFORE HIM, MS. BRICKHOUSE.
12:07:57PM THAT WAS BROUGHT FORTH BY A STUDY IN 2009 THAT WAS DUE TO A
12:08:02PM NEED TO INCREASE EFFICIENCIES AND DECREASE OVERALL SPENDING.
12:08:05PM SO SINCE THEN, THIS COLLECTION METHOD HAS BEEN SET FORTH AND
12:08:08PM WE HAVE BEEN MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT BECAUSE ULTIMATELY IT
12:08:12PM SAVES US MULTIPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS WHICH I WOULD COVER AT
12:08:15PM THE VERY TAIL END OF THE PRESENTATION.
12:08:16PM BUT THIS TYPE OF COLLECTION IS FAVORED BY THE UNION AND
12:08:20PM SUPPORTED BY THE UNION AS WELL, AND IT IS ALSO DONE BY
12:08:25PM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AS WELL AND SOME OF THE LIKE CITIES
12:08:29PM SURROUNDING OUR AREAS IN FLORIDA.
12:08:30PM WE ARE NOT THE ONLY CITY THAT COLLECTS WASTE THE FOLLOWING
12:08:36PM SERVICE DAY.
12:08:37PM NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, OUT OF RESPECT OF YOUR TIME, I'M
12:08:44PM TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS QUICKLY AS WELL.
12:08:45PM THESE ARE THE CITY-OBSERVED HOLIDAYS THAT WE DO PROVIDE
12:08:48PM NEXT-DAY SERVICE FOR.
12:08:49PM THE REASON WHY WE DO THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE INFLUX OF WASTE
12:08:54PM DURING THESE TIMES.
12:08:55PM I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW THAT DURING THANKSGIVING, DURING
12:08:58PM CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S DAY, THERE IS A LOT MORE WASTE
12:09:01PM CURBSIDE THAN YOUR REGULAR HOLIDAYS.
12:09:04PM THIS APPROACH, OF COURSE, LIKE I MENTIONED IS INDUSTRY
12:09:08PM STANDARD AND ALSO FOLLOWED BY HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
12:09:09PM I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS PRACTICE OF DISCONTINUING THE
12:09:13PM RESIDENTIAL NEXT-DAY SERVICE FOR OTHER HOLIDAYS SAVES
12:09:16PM RATEPAYERS APPROXIMATELY $625,000 ANNUALLY.
12:09:20PM SO IF WE DID NOT DO THAT, THEN THAT COST, OF COURSE, WOULD
12:09:23PM MOVE TOWARDS OUR CUSTOMERS.
12:09:26PM THEY WOULD HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL ON THE COST.
12:09:29PM ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
12:09:33PM IF NOT, I CAN SHOW YOU THE RESIDENTIAL BREAKDOWN AS WELL
12:09:36PM WHILE WE GO THROUGH AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS JUST IN CASE.
12:09:39PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
12:09:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE EVER GOING TO AGREE
12:09:46PM ON THIS.
12:09:47PM BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I THOUGHT WAS VERY INTERESTING WAS YOU
12:09:51PM SAID THAT YOU SHOWED THAT 35% OF THE COST IS FOR JUST
12:09:56PM PICKUP, COLLECTION.
12:09:57PM THAT IS TRUCKS.
12:09:59PM THAT'S PEOPLE.
12:10:00PM THAT'S ALL OF THAT.
12:10:01PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: THAT'S THE TRUCK COST.
12:10:03PM THAT'S THE PEOPLE.
12:10:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: GAS COST.
12:10:06PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: YES.
12:10:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK: 65% FOR DISPOSAL.
12:10:10PM PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT TO US BECAUSE THAT IS FASCINATING.
12:10:12PM I EXPECTED MOST OF THE COST TO BE BORN WITH LABOR BECAUSE
12:10:15PM THAT'S GENERALLY THE WAY THAT WORKS.
12:10:16PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: UNDERSTOOD.
12:10:18PM LET ME GO BACK TO THIS SLIDE AS WELL SO YOU CAN SEE IT.
12:10:21PM WHEN I WAS REFERRING TO THE 65% DISPOSAL COST, I AM
12:10:29PM REFERRING TO THE COST, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IT COSTS US
12:10:33PM TO DISPOSE OF THIS WASTE WHEN IT REACHES OUR TIPPING FLOOR.
12:10:36PM TIPPING FLOOR FEE OF $71 FOR OUR CITY.
12:10:39PM IN ADDITION TO THAT THE TIPPING FLOOR THAT IS ASSOCIATED
12:10:42PM WITH THIS AS WELL, WHICH IS HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY WHICH THEY
12:10:44PM HAVE FEES OF $85, WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON WHY WE NEED TO GO
12:10:48PM BACK AND HAVE A RATE REVIEW TO SEE IF WE ARE TRULY
12:10:51PM COMPETITIVE AS WELL AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR RATES ARE TRULY
12:10:54PM ENSURING THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THIS WORLD-CLASS
12:10:57PM SERVICE THAT WE DO.
12:10:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WE CHARGE OURSELVES?
12:11:01PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: ESSENTIALLY TO MAINTAIN THE WASTE
12:11:03PM FACILITY AND TO GO BACK AND NOW SINCE WE OPERATE OUR WASTE
12:11:07PM MANAGEMENT FACILITY AS WELL, IT MAY COST US MORE MONEY.
12:11:10PM WE ALWAYS HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT SINCE WE ARE AN
12:11:12PM ENTERPRISE FUND.
12:11:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK: AH, OKAY.
12:11:15PM THE ENTERPRISE FUND.
12:11:16PM AND THEN MOVING FORWARD TO THE CALENDAR, WE HAD THIS
12:11:21PM DISCUSSION I THINK IT WAS YESTERDAY OR MAYBE IT WAS TUESDAY
12:11:25PM ABOUT THE COSTS FOR PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY THOSE PEOPLE, IF YOU
12:11:32PM SHOW THE CALENDAR AGAIN, THE MONDAY COSTS -- NO, THE OTHER
12:11:38PM ONE, THE HOLIDAY ONE THAT DOESN'T GET PICKED UP EVERY TIME.
12:11:45PM THIS IS WHERE I HEAR FROM RESIDENTS AND THIS IS WHERE WE
12:11:50PM TALKED ABOUT EVEN MYSELF AS A GARDENER WHO ALWAYS HAS TRASH
12:11:58PM CANS FULL OF YARD WASTE BECAUSE I CAN'T DEPOSIT IT ON MONDAY
12:12:03PM I HAVE TO HOLD IT UNTIL THE NEXT MONDAY AND HOW PEOPLE DO
12:12:06PM THAT WITH THEIR CHARGE, THEY HAVE TO HOLD IT OR HOLD THEIR
12:12:09PM RECYCLING.
12:12:10PM THAT'S THE ISSUE THAT PEOPLE HAVE IS WE HAVE TO HOLD ON TO
12:12:14PM IT UNTIL THE NEXT CYCLE.
12:12:15PM THIS IS WHAT I HEAR.
12:12:17PM I HEAR CLEARLY AND EVEN BEFORE I WAS ON COUNCIL, THE
12:12:20PM COMPLAINTS FROM THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MONDAY PICKUP THAT
12:12:24PM THEY -- YOU SAY WE'RE GETTING THE SAME AMOUNT, BUT I'M
12:12:26PM TELLING YOU, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THIS THROUGH TO
12:12:30PM PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE NOT RECEIVING THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE
12:12:36PM THAT OTHERS ARE.
12:12:40PM SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT BY NOT HAVING THESE SERVICES WE'RE
12:12:45PM SAVING THE TAXPAYERS $625,000.
12:12:52PM CORRECT?
12:12:53PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: YES.
12:12:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT THESE -- STILL PAYING THE SAME AMOUNT AS
12:13:00PM EVERYONE ELSE, SO WE'RE SAVING $625,000 ON THE BACKS OF
12:13:04PM PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT RECEIVING SERVICES.
12:13:07PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: CAN YOU EXPLAIN -- WHEN YOU'RE REFERRING
12:13:10PM TO PEOPLE NOT RECEIVING SERVICES, CAN YOU EXPLAIN EXACTLY
12:13:13PM WHO YOU ARE REFERRING TO?
12:13:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THE MONDAY PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET GARBAGE,
12:13:17PM RECYCLING OR YARD PICKUP FOUR TIMES A YEAR.
12:13:23PM AND THE FRIDAY PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET IT TWICE A YEAR AND THEN
12:13:26PM THE TUESDAY PEOPLE WHO WON'T GET IT ONCE.
12:13:31PM JUST, AGAIN, THE WHOLE ECONOMY.
12:13:34PM WHAT I WANTED WAS NOT JUST THE RATE BUT WHAT IT COSTS TO
12:13:37PM PICK UP EACH OF THOSE THINGS IF WE WERE GOING TO DIVIDE IT
12:13:40PM OUT.
12:13:40PM SAY THERE ARE 200 COLLECTIONS THROUGHOUT A YEAR.
12:13:47PM EACH PROPERTY GETS TOUCHED 200 TIMES, WHETHER OR NOT THEY
12:13:50PM USE THE SERVICE, THEY ARE PASSED 200 TIMES A YEAR.
12:13:56PM WHAT WE'RE SAYING -- I'M SORRY, IT'S 100 TIMES A YEAR.
12:14:00PM SO THERE ARE 12 TOUCHES THAT ARE NOT HAPPENING.
12:14:07PM THE MONDAY FOLKS ARE ACTUALLY ONLY BEING TOUCHED 80 -- DOING
12:14:13PM MATH -- 86 TIMES A YEAR, 88 TIMES A YEAR.
12:14:16PM YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
12:14:17PM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TOUCHED 88 TIMES A YEAR ARE PAYING MORE
12:14:21PM PER PICKUP THAN PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GET THE HUNDRED TIMES A
12:14:25PM YEAR.
12:14:25PM THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT, THE UNIT COST OF WHAT IT COSTS
12:14:29PM PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET THEIR STUFF PICKED UP.
12:14:33PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: I CAN STEP BACK QUICKLY.
12:14:35PM JUST SO EVERYONE IS AWARE, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO RESIDENTIAL
12:14:39PM SERVICES, ROUGHLY, WE HAVE 56 ROUTES THAT ARE OPERATING FOUR
12:14:42PM DAYS A WEEK.
12:14:44PM AND OUR AVERAGE SIZE ROUTE AS FAR AS HOMES THAT WE PASS BY
12:14:47PM BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PASS BY THE HOUSE TO ENSURE THAT THE
12:14:50PM GARBAGE IS OUT OR IT'S NOT.
12:14:52PM THAT'S ROUGHLY 1200.
12:14:54PM IN A MONTH'S TIME WE HAVE 1 MILLION, OVER 1 MILLION
12:14:58PM PASS-BYS.
12:14:59PM IN A MONTH'S TIME.
12:15:01PM THAT'S A GOOD AMOUNT.
12:15:02PM I'M GOING BACK AGAIN TOWARDS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MONDAY
12:15:06PM AND THURSDAY SERVICE VERSUS TUESDAY AND FRIDAY SERVICE.
12:15:10PM MONDAY AND THURSDAY SERVICES NORTH OF COLUMBUS.
12:15:16PM I'LL PUT THIS BACK UP SO EVERYONE CAN SEE.
12:15:18PM AND TUESDAY AND FRIDAY SERVICES SOUTH OF COLUMBUS.
12:15:21PM ESSENTIALLY -- THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT, WE ENSURE
12:15:27PM WHENEVER THERE IS A HOLIDAY THAT FALLS ON A MONDAY, YOUR
12:15:30PM NEXT SERVICE DAY IS THURSDAY AND WE ENSURE ALL OF THE WASTE
12:15:34PM PLACED CURBSIDE IS PICKED UP.
12:15:36PM COLLECT THE SAME VOLUME.
12:15:38PM YOU JUST DON'T SEE US TWICE ON YOUR STREET.
12:15:41PM THE MAJORITY OF OUR RATE, LIKE I MENTIONED, 65% DISPOSAL IS
12:15:45PM GEARED TOWARD THAT.
12:15:46PM THE SAME AMOUNT OF WASTE, SAME AMOUNT OF VOLUME IS COLLECTED
12:15:49PM AND DISPOSED OF AND PROCESSED.
12:15:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT ABOUT THE RECYCLING AND THE YARD TRASH?
12:15:56PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: THE FOLLOWING DAY OR THE FOLLOWING WEEK.
12:15:58PM THE FOLLOWING SERVICE WEEK.
12:15:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING THOSE PEOPLE THAT WEEK.
12:16:02PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: WE STILL PICK UP THE SAME VOLUME BECAUSE
12:16:05PM IT STILL SITS CURBSIDE.
12:16:07PM MOST OF OUR CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY HAVE THE QUESTIONS, WE ASK
12:16:09PM THEM A COUPLE OF THINGS, ARE YOU TAKING IT ANYWHERE, DID YOU
12:16:12PM HAVE THIS PROCESSED?
12:16:13PM WAS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON?
12:16:15PM WE TAKE A PERSONAL APPROACH TO SERVICE.
12:16:18PM WE INFORM THEM THAT, HEY, WE STILL PICK UP THE SAME AMOUNT
12:16:21PM OF VOLUME THAT YOU PLACE CURBSIDE AND PROCESS AT OUR
12:16:24PM FACILITIES.
12:16:24PM THIS IS WHY THIS HAS WORKED.
12:16:27PM INEVITABLY WE'RE SAVING YOU MONEY AS WELL BECAUSE IT WOULD
12:16:30PM COST US AROUND 90,000 PER EACH OF THE HOLIDAYS TO PROVIDE
12:16:33PM THAT COLLECTION FOR THE NEXT DAY.
12:16:35PM SO ONCE WE DESCRIBE THAT TO THEM AND EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM,
12:16:39PM THEY ARE USUALLY MORE ACCEPTABLE SAYING, OKAY, I UNDERSTAND
12:16:42PM NOW.
12:16:42PM IT MAKES MORE SENSE.
12:16:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SO FOLLOWING THAT, IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW THAT
12:16:52PM PATH, WHICH I DON'T THINK IS A BAD IDEA, WE COULD REALLY GO
12:16:56PM DOWN TO ONCE A WEEK SERVICE.
12:17:02PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: I DON'T THINK WE CAN.
12:17:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING HERE IS WE CAN DO
12:17:05PM ONCE A WEEK SERVICE.
12:17:06PM THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT BEING PICKED UP ON HOLIDAYS ARE
12:17:09PM FINE FOR ONCE A WEEK SERVICE.
12:17:12PM THAT WOULD SAVE A TON OF MONEY.
12:17:16PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: WE'RE STILL IN OVERTIME MODE WHENEVER WE
12:17:18PM DO THIS.
12:17:18PM WE PUT OUR TEAMS ON A 12-HOUR SHIFT WHEN WE GO INTO
12:17:23PM COLLECTING WASTE FOR THE NEXT SERVICE DAY FOLLOWING A
12:17:26PM HOLIDAY.
12:17:26PM I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S WISE TO MOVE THAT WAY.
12:17:28PM OF COURSE, IT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR.
12:17:31PM WE'LL LOOK AT ANY DEPLOYMENT THAT IS GOING TO BE EFFECTIVE
12:17:35PM FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA.
12:17:35PM AND TO LET YOU KNOW AS WELL, WE HAVE A MASTER PLAN UPDATE.
12:17:39PM LAST MASTER PLAN WAS PROVIDED IN 2018.
12:17:42PM NOW GIVEN THE AGE OF COVID AND THE THINGS WE ARE FACED WITH
12:17:46PM NOW, THE PROCUREMENT COSTS, WE HAVE REQUESTED AN ADDITIONAL
12:17:50PM UPDATE TO OUR MASTER PLAN.
12:17:51PM WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT.
12:17:53PM WE HAVE THE RATE STUDIES AS WELL SO WE CAN LOOK INTO THE
12:17:55PM COST.
12:17:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE COST OF ONLY GETTING
12:18:00PM ONCE A WEEK GARBAGE PICKUP JUST CURIOUSLY.
12:18:04PM THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE BASICALLY SAYING, HOLIDAYS ARE COUNTED AS
12:18:08PM ONCE A WEEK GARBAGE PICKUP.
12:18:10PM IF PEOPLE ARE STILL THROWING AWAY THE SAME AMOUNT AND BEING
12:18:12PM REQUIRED TO HOLD ON TO THAT GARBAGE UNTIL THEIR NEXT DATE,
12:18:16PM THEN -- I WOULD LOVE IT IF DURING THAT STUDY YOU COULD COME
12:18:20PM UP WITH WHAT IT WOULD COST FOR ONCE A WEEK.
12:18:24PM IF THAT REDUCES FEES, I THINK -- YOU NEVER KNOW.
12:18:31PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: CAVEAT TO THAT AS WELL, WHEN WE DO
12:18:34PM PROVIDE THAT SERVICE, LET'S SAY WE ASK THE PUBLIC TO SET
12:18:37PM THEIR TRASH CANS OR TRASH BAGS NEXT TO THEIR BINS.
12:18:40PM OUR DRIVERS GET OUT OF THEIR VEHICLES AND THIS IS ONE OF THE
12:18:43PM TOP FIVE MOST DANGEROUS PROFESSIONS IN THE WORLD, SO WE ASK
12:18:47PM THEM TO GET OUT OF THEIR VEHICLES, LOAD UP THAT CONTAINER
12:18:50PM AGAIN AND SERVICE IT ONCE MORE.
12:18:51PM WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS KEEP THEM FROM HAVING TO EXIT THEIR
12:18:55PM VEHICLE UNLESS THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO.
12:18:57PM THAT'S ONE THING THAT COMES WITH THAT ONCE A DAY SERVICE OR
12:19:01PM ONCE A WEEK SERVICE.
12:19:02PM AND I WOULD LIKE TO JUST LET YOU KNOW AS WELL THERE HASN'T
12:19:07PM REALLY BEEN A -- THE PUBLIC HASN'T CALLED IN SAYING WE WANT
12:19:11PM ONCE A WEEK SERVICE.
12:19:13PM WE WANT TO DECREASE OUR RATES.
12:19:14PM THEY HAVE ACTUALLY CALLED AND SAID THEY WANT MORE.
12:19:16PM THEY WANT MORE RECEPTACLES, THEY WANT MORE SERVICE.
12:19:19PM WE GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO ENSURE WE CAN PROVIDE FOR THEM.
12:19:22PM BUT AS FAR AS A WANT FROM THE PUBLIC, WE GET LAUDED
12:19:25PM CONSTANTLY FROM OUR PUBLIC, FROM OUR CUSTOMERS SAYING THAT
12:19:28PM WE DO A GREAT JOB AND THEY WOULD LIKE US TO PROVIDE MORE
12:19:31PM SERVICE.
12:19:31PM WE DO JUST THAT.
12:19:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I MEAN, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT BUT THAT'S VERY
12:19:36PM INTERESTING BECAUSE I HEAR THE OPPOSITE.
12:19:38PM ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL I HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WONDER
12:19:40PM WHY WE HAVE SO MUCH.
12:19:42PM THEY CONSIDER IT A WASTE THAT WE SEND THE TRUCKS OUT TWICE A
12:19:45PM WEEK AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW HOW WE COULD REIN THAT IN.
12:19:51PM THAT'S INTERESTING.
12:19:52PM THANK YOU.
12:19:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND THEN COUNCIL
12:19:58PM MEMBER HENDERSON.
12:19:59PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: USED TO BE GARBAGE PICKUP ONLY IN THE
12:20:02PM ALLEYS WHEN EVERYTHING WAS ALLEYS.
12:20:05PM DRIVER, TWO THROWERS AND ONE CATCHER.
12:20:07PM FOUR INDIVIDUALS IN THE TRUCK.
12:20:08PM IT WAS OPEN TRUCK.
12:20:10PM BED ON IT ABOUT FOUR FEET HIGH AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DID.
12:20:14PM THEN THEY GOT SMART.
12:20:16PM SOMEBODY GOT SMART WHEN I MOVED TO MY NEW HOME AT TAMPA
12:20:20PM HOUSING AT 1860 CATTLE COURT AND DUG A HOLE, PUT A CYLINDER,
12:20:28PM STOP, OPEN UP AND DUMP THE GARBAGE.
12:20:31PM THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAD TO COME BACK AND PICK IT UP BY HAND,
12:20:34PM PICK UP THE THING AND THROW IT ON THE TRUCK.
12:20:37PM YOU DIDN'T THINK IT BREAKS MANY BACKS.
12:20:39PM TRY JUST FOR A WEEK.
12:20:41PM THE NEXT THING IS WHAT WE HAVE NOW.
12:20:43PM AUTOMATION CREATION.
12:20:45PM HOWEVER, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE EQUITABLE, WHAT YOU DO IS
12:20:50PM DON'T CHARGE ANYBODY THE SAME.
12:20:55PM I'M NOT ADVOCATING THAT.
12:20:57PM LET ME JUST SAY THAT.
12:20:58PM IN MY HOUSEHOLD, YOU'RE LUCKY YOU PICK UP ONCE A MONTH
12:21:03PM BECAUSE I LIVE ALONE.
12:21:06PM AND I AM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE RATE.
12:21:11PM WHY?
12:21:11PM LOOK AT SOCIETY.
12:21:13PM SOME PEOPLE GO TO PRIVATE SCHOOL.
12:21:14PM SOME PEOPLE GO TO GENERAL SCHOOL.
12:21:17PM EVERYBODY WHO LIVES IN THE CITY THAT HAS A KID, PERSON IN
12:21:22PM PRIVATE SCHOOL IS ALSO PAYING MONEY FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD
12:21:26PM TO GO TO SCHOOL.
12:21:28PM YOU KNOW WHAT?
12:21:28PM THAT IS THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS.
12:21:30PM I'M VERY HAPPY THAT EVERYBODY IS TRYING TO BE AN EDUCATION.
12:21:33PM THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE THING YOU NEED.
12:21:35PM NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, GET EDUCATED.
12:21:37PM SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE THINGS AND I TELL MYSELF, WHEN YOU
12:21:40PM PICK UP YOUR WASTE CONTAINER, NO.
12:21:44PM MAYBE YOU SHOULD.
12:21:46PM IF YOU WANT EQUITABLE IN SOCIETY, MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING
12:21:48PM IS WEIGHTED IN SO THAT YOU CAN CHARGE THE RIGHT AMOUNT.
12:21:53PM IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THIS, YOU GOT TO CHANGE THE
12:21:55PM GOVERNMENT, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE THE DAYS OF
12:21:58PM HOLIDAYS.
12:21:59PM IT'S BETTER TO HAVE THE HOLIDAY AFTER SUNDAY SO YOU GET
12:22:05PM SOMEBODY REST AND MORE EQUITABLE TO DO THE JOB THAT THEY
12:22:08PM WERE HIRED TO DO.
12:22:09PM THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
12:22:10PM I MAY BE WRONG.
12:22:11PM HERE I AM PAYING FOR SOMEBODY'S KID FOR 12 YEARS.
12:22:14PM YOU KNOW WHAT?
12:22:15PM I ENJOY THAT BECAUSE I'M HAPPY SOMEBODY GETTING AN
12:22:19PM EDUCATION.
12:22:20PM NUMBER TWO, I'M PAYING FOR THE GARBAGE PICKUP TWICE A WEEK
12:22:23PM AND SOMETIMES I PUT IT UP WITH ONE BAG IN IT JUST BECAUSE I
12:22:26PM HAD SOMETHING THAT THE RATS MAY WANT TO EAT OR SOMETHING.
12:22:30PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: WE ARE IN FLORIDA.
12:22:31PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT IS ANOTHER THING.
12:22:32PM IT KEEPS THE CITY MORE CLEAN BECAUSE PICKS UP ON A MORE
12:22:36PM REGULAR BASIS AND IT LEAVES THOSE YOU DON'T WANT INSIDE YOUR
12:22:39PM HOUSE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE WHERE YOU MAY NOT SEE THEM ON A
12:22:42PM DAILY BASIS.
12:22:43PM SO THESE ARE THE THINGS I'M TELLING MYSELF.
12:22:45PM I'M TELLING MYSELF, MAYBE YOU ARE WRONG.
12:22:47PM MAYBE EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT THAN YOU.
12:22:49PM I DON'T THINK THEY ARE.
12:22:49PM THERE MIGHT BE SOME WHO WANT GARBAGE PICKUP, BUT THAT
12:22:55PM SOMEONE IS THE MINUTE AMOUNT AND THE 400,000 PLUS CITIZENS
12:23:01PM WE HAVE IN THE CITY.
12:23:02PM THAT'S MY OPINION.
12:23:03PM I MAY BE DEAD WRONG.
12:23:05PM I'VE BEEN WRONG BEFORE AND I'VE CORRECTED MYSELF.
12:23:07PM WHAT THESE THINGS ARE SAYING IS THAT I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING
12:23:11PM THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT IS DOING.
12:23:13PM I APPRECIATE THE MECHANISM THAT THEY HAVE AND THOSE TRUCK
12:23:17PM DRIVERS, I SAW ON TV WHEN YOU HAD A CONTEST RECENTLY
12:23:20PM SOMEWHERE, AND THEY HAD THESE LOOKED LIKE TENNIS BALLS.
12:23:24PM I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CAN DO ALL THAT.
12:23:26PM I COULDN'T DO IT IF I WAS ON A RAILROAD TRACK AND HIT THE
12:23:30PM BALL.
12:23:31PM BUT THESE ARE THE THINGS I SEE AND I APPRECIATE WHAT THEY
12:23:33PM ARE DOING IN THE CONTEST BECAUSE THAT SHOWS THE PUBLIC WHAT
12:23:37PM THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT WORK THROUGHOUT THE STATE, IT WAS A
12:23:40PM STATE CONTEST IF I RECALL, I'M NOT ASKING WHERE YOU ALL
12:23:43PM FINISHED OR ANYTHING.
12:23:45PM WHAT I SAW THERE WAS AN AMAZING THING BECAUSE IT GAVE ME AN
12:23:49PM INSIGHT ON WHY AND HOW YOU INDIVIDUALS WORK AND HOW DILIGENT
12:23:54PM YOU ARE IN DOING WHAT YOU DO.
12:23:56PM WHEN YOU PICK UP THE TRUCK AND STOP, PUTS THE ARM UP, PICKS
12:23:59PM IT UP AND THROWS BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE DISTANCE FROM WHERE
12:24:02PM HE'S AT TO WHERE HE CAN SEE IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR.
12:24:07PM THAT IS A SPECIALITY.
12:24:09PM I COULDN'T DO THAT IF I TRIED A HUNDRED TIMES.
12:24:11PM THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE THAT I KEEP IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
12:24:14PM BUT DON'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S HELPING SOMEBODY ELSE.
12:24:17PM WE NEED MORE PEOPLE HELPING MORE PEOPLE SO WE CAN GET
12:24:20PM EVERYBODY ON AN EVEN KEEL.
12:24:21PM YOU SEE POVERTY HAS ONE THING, IF YOU GET AN EDUCATION, YOU
12:24:26PM GOT A SHOT TO GET OUT OF POVERTY.
12:24:27PM IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, MORE THAN LIKELY -- MORE THAN LIKELY
12:24:30PM YOU'RE GOING TO STAY THERE.
12:24:32PM BUT THAT'S JUST MY FEELING TO YOU, MR. WASHINGTON.
12:24:35PM I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN THIS FIELD, AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU
12:24:38PM GUYS ARE DOING.
12:24:39PM I'M SURE ALL OF US TOURED THE TREATMENT PLANT WHERE THEY
12:24:44PM PICK UP ALL THE GARBAGE AND HOW THEY PICK IT UP WITH THE
12:24:47PM CRANES AND DIVIDE THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER, IT'S AN AMAZING
12:24:51PM THING.
12:24:51PM THANK GOD WE GOT AWAY FROM THE PREVIOUS CONTRACT THAT WE HAD
12:24:56PM BECAUSE PUT ONE PENNY LOOK LIKE INTO THE BUILDING ITSELF AND
12:24:59PM THE MECHANISM.
12:24:59PM THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REPAIR WHAT WE HAVE TO
12:25:02PM REPAIR, $200 MILLION.
12:25:03PM BUT IT WORKS.
12:25:06PM WE PRODUCE ENOUGH ENERGY FOR 15,000 HOUSES, AND THAT'S A
12:25:10PM CITY ABOUT $10 MILLION.
12:25:12PM YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M NOT.
12:25:15PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: YOU MOST DEFINITELY ARE, SIR.
12:25:18PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: HELLO, MR. WASHINGTON.
12:25:20PM THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORT.
12:25:21PM I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THE DATA ON AT LA CARTE SERVICES
12:25:26PM AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP.
12:25:28PM I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THAT, HOW MUCH THAT COSTS THE CITY, WHY
12:25:32PM DON'T WE DO IT OFTEN ENOUGH IN TERMS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
12:25:36PM CLEANUP BECAUSE EVERY OTHER YEAR I ALWAYS MISS IT WHICH IS
12:25:39PM INTERESTING TO ME.
12:25:40PM THE YEAR THAT I WANT TO THROW OUT THINGS, OH, THAT HAPPENED
12:25:44PM TWO WEEKS AGO, GWEN.
12:25:46PM NEVERTHELESS, AT LA CARTE SERVICE IS ALSO KIND OF LIKE
12:25:50PM NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP BUT FOR THE SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL WHEN
12:25:53PM THEY HAVE TIME TO DO IT.
12:25:54PM I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH REVENUE THAT GENERATES AS AN A
12:26:03PM LA CARTE SERVICE AND WILL THIS INFORMATION BE A PART OF YOUR
12:26:06PM MASTER PLAN UPDATE?
12:26:08PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: YOU MAY BE ASKING ME TWO DIFFERENT
12:26:10PM QUESTIONS.
12:26:11PM I'M ASSUMING INITIALLY REFERRING TO THE SWEEP PROGRAM.
12:26:14PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES, SWEEP PROGRAM.
12:26:16PM NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP IS NOT THE RIGHT WORD.
12:26:19PM I APOLOGIZE.
12:26:20PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: ALL RIGHT.
12:26:21PM YES, YOU'RE CORRECT.
12:26:22PM THE SWEEP PROGRAM WE PICK UP YOUR BULKY WASTE.
12:26:27PM I IMPLORE ALL OF YOU TO DOWNLOAD THE TAMPA TRASH AND
12:26:31PM RECYCLING APP.
12:26:32PM YOU DON'T HAVE TO WONDER WHENEVER THE SERVICE IS GOING TO
12:26:35PM COME TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:26:36PM YOU'LL KNOW.
12:26:37PM THE APP WILL UPDATE YOU.
12:26:38PM THE APP UPDATES YOU ON ANY CHANGES WE MAKE WITH THE SERVICE
12:26:41PM THAT WE PROVIDE.
12:26:42PM SO IF THERE IS A HURRICANE TAKING PLACE, THE APP WILL TELL
12:26:45PM YOU THAT, HEY, DOING XYZ.
12:26:50PM WE NEED YOU TO BRING YOUR WASTE TO THESE LOCATIONS OR WE
12:26:53PM HAVE TO CHANGE OUR SERVICE DATE FROM THIS DATE TO THIS DATE.
12:26:58PM PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE SOLID WASTE TRASH AND RECYCLING APP.
12:27:00PM IT MAKES IT SO MUCH SIMPLER FOR YOU.
12:27:02PM I CAN MAKE SURE WE INCLUDE PAY AS YOU THROW AS WELL.
12:27:05PM IF YOU WANT TO SEE PAY AS YOU THROW INSIDE OF THE MASTER
12:27:09PM STUDY.
12:27:09PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YEAH, YEAH, WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE DATA FOR
12:27:12PM THAT.
12:27:12PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: PAY AS YOU THROW SERVICE MAY BE SIMILAR
12:27:15PM TO WHAT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK IS MENTIONING AS FAR AS WE HAVE
12:27:17PM DIFFERENT CANS AND 35, 65 AND 95, AND YOU'RE ONLY ALLOTTED
12:27:23PM THAT AMOUNT OF WASTE FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD.
12:27:26PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU WANT TO THROW
12:27:29PM TRASH AWAY ON YOUR OWN, THROWING OUT OLD MATTRESSES,
12:27:33PM WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE AND YOU CALL FOR AN INDIVIDUAL
12:27:36PM SERVICE.
12:27:37PM HOW MUCH REVENUE DOES THAT GENERATE?
12:27:39PM IS THAT OVERTIME COST INVOLVED IN THAT?
12:27:41PM I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.
12:27:44PM WHAT'S GOING TO BE PRESENTED IN YOUR MASTER PLAN AND THE
12:27:48PM RESULTS OF THE STUDY WILL BE A PART OF THE MASTER PLAN?
12:27:51PM >>LARRY WASHINGTON: I WILL ENSURE IT IS INCLUDED AS WELL.
12:27:54PM JUST SO EVERYONE IS AWARE, WE MADE ADJUSTMENTS LAST YEAR TO
12:27:57PM OUR SWEEP PROGRAM.
12:27:58PM INITIALLY, THERE WAS A FOUR CUBIC YARD MINIMUM.
12:28:01PM NOW THERE IS NO MINIMUM AT ALL.
12:28:03PM SO YOU CAN SET OUT A ONE CUBIC YARD AND THEN WE'LL PICK IT
12:28:07PM UP FOR $16.44.
12:28:09PM JUST MAKE IT EASIER ON THE RESIDENTS AS WELL IF THEY HAVE
12:28:13PM ONE THING THEY WANT TO GET RID OF AND DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY
12:28:16PM TO MAKE IT TO OUR TRANSFER STATION.
12:28:19PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
12:28:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:28:21PM ANYBODY ELSE?
12:28:22PM THANK YOU.
12:28:24PM THAT CONCLUDES OUR AGENDA.
12:28:25PM HOWEVER, WE NEED TO TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS BECAUSE WE'VE
12:28:29PM BEEN ASKED BY THE FOLKS HERE TO TAKE A GROUP PHOTO.
12:28:33PM THEY NEED TO COME IN AND SET UP THE CAMERAS.
12:28:37PM FIVE-MINUTE RECESS.
12:28:40PM AFTER THE PICTURE WE'LL GO TO NEW BUSINESS.
12:28:43PM I'LL HAVE TO HAND THE GAVEL TO MIRANDA.
12:28:53PM RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES AS WE SET UP THE CAMERA.
12:29:00PM [RECESS]
12:32:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
12:32:06PM WE'RE BACK.
12:32:08PM IF WE COULD HAVE ROLL CALL.
12:32:09PM WE'RE GOOD.
12:32:37PM ALL RIGHT.

12:32:38PM CITY COUNCIL IS BACK IN SESSION, BACK FROM THE RECESS.
12:32:41PM ROLL CALL, PLEASE.

12:32:56PM >>BILL CARLSON: NO.

12:33:22PM ALL IN FAVOR?
12:33:23PM ANY OPPOSED?
12:33:23PM ANYTHING ELSE?
12:33:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK: NO.
12:33:26PM THAT'S IT.
12:33:27PM THANK YOU.
12:33:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON.
12:33:30PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO SCHEDULE

12:33:42PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
12:33:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
12:33:45PM HENDERSON.
12:33:45PM DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
12:33:46PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
12:33:48PM ALL IN FAVOR?
12:33:49PM ANY OPPOSED?
12:33:50PM ANYTHING ELSE?
12:33:51PM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA?
12:33:52PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I HAVE ONE HERE BUT I MISPLACED IT HERE.
12:33:56PM I'LL GO BY MEMORY.
12:33:57PM THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT GOT ANOTHER AWARD FOR THE 34th YEAR
12:34:01PM IN A ROW DOING THE FINANCIAL OPERATION, VERIFIED BY MANY
12:34:06PM AGENCIES.
12:34:06PM I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO RECEIVE THE COMMENDATION ON MAY THE
12:34:09PM 18th AT THE REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING.
12:34:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
12:34:13PM MIRANDA.
12:34:13PM DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
12:34:14PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON.
12:34:16PM ALL IN FAVOR?
12:34:17PM AYE.
12:34:17PM ANY OPPOSED?
12:34:18PM ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
12:34:19PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO, SIR.
12:34:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'LL HAND YOU THE GAVEL BECAUSE IT GOES
12:34:22PM DOWN TO YOU.
12:34:23PM I HAVE A FEW MOTIONS.
12:34:27PM FIRST, I'D LIKE TO WELCOME DAYNA LAZARUS IN THE CROWD HERE.
12:34:32PM SAW YOU COME IN.
12:34:33PM MOTION NUMBER ONE IS ACTUALLY AN E-MAIL FROM SULING.
12:34:39PM THERE WAS A MOTION MADE REGARDING TA/CPA 22-13, HOWEVER, WE
12:34:45PM DID NOT MAKE A MOTION TO REMOVE REZ-22-93 FROM THE
12:34:49PM JUNE 8th MEETING.
12:34:53PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
12:34:55PM ON WHAT BASIS -- THE REZ IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL NOTICED PUBLIC
12:35:02PM MEETING.
12:35:03PM I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHY THAT IS BEING DONE.
12:35:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: BECAUSE I THINK IT WAS IN COLLABORATION
12:35:07PM WITH CPA 22-13.
12:35:09PM >>THE CLERK: CORRECT.
12:35:09PM THAT ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE AGENDA IN FEBRUARY.
12:35:14PM STAFF IS REQUESTING THAT REZ 22-93 BE REMOVED FROM JUNE 8
12:35:19PM BECAUSE IT IS BEING HEARD NEXT WEEK.
12:35:22PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOW I'M VERY CONFUSED.
12:35:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IT WAS MOVED UP TO THE MAY CALENDAR
12:35:26PM INSTEAD OF THE JUNE CALENDAR.
12:35:30PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHEN WAS THE MOTION MADE?
12:35:34PM >>THE CLERK: -- BEING PRESENTED ON MAY 11 AS A NEW ITEM, SO
12:35:34PM IT IS A BRAND-NEW PUBLIC HEARING.
12:35:36PM THAT IS THE REASON WHY THEY ARE REQUESTING THAT JUNE 8 BE
12:35:39PM CANCELED.
12:35:41PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.
12:35:43PM THIS WAS NOT PRESENTED TO ME.
12:35:45PM IT SOUNDS VERY UNUSUAL.
12:35:48PM I DON'T QUITE KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS.
12:35:51PM >>THE CLERK: SHOULD WE ADDRESS IT AT THE MAY 11 WHEN THE
12:35:54PM ITEM IS BROUGHT BEFORE COUNCIL?
12:35:59PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS, WAS THE MAY 11 A
12:36:02PM NEW PETITION?
12:36:03PM WAS IT NOTICED SEPARATELY?
12:36:05PM >>THE CLERK: YES.
12:36:06PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND IT REPLACES WHAT WAS ON JUNE 8th
12:36:12PM BECAUSE THEY WITHDREW ONE AND WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE WITHDRAWN
12:36:16PM BOTH OFF THE AGENDA.
12:36:18PM WHO IS REQUESTING IT BE WITHDRAWN?
12:36:19PM THE PETITIONER?
12:36:21PM >>THE CLERK: LaCHONE DOCK AND HER TEAM AS WELL AS THE
12:36:23PM PETITIONER.
12:36:24PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: DO YOU HAVE THAT IN WRITING, A MEMO?
12:36:27PM I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
12:36:30PM NOBODY CONTACTED ME ABOUT IT.
12:36:31PM >>THE CLERK: I THINK THE BEST THING IS ADDRESS IT AT THE MAY
12:36:34PM 11 MEETING.
12:36:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:36:39PM LaCHONE.
12:36:41PM YOU'RE MUTED.
12:36:47PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL.
12:36:48PM LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
12:36:50PM COUNCIL, THAT IS CORRECT.
12:36:53PM THIS ITEM WAS ORIGINALLY CONTINUED TO THE JUNE HEARING.
12:36:58PM BETWEEN THAT TIME THE APPLICANT WITHDREW THEIR COMPREHENSIVE
12:37:02PM PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION AND THEN COMPLETED NOTICE AGAIN
12:37:07PM TO THE PUBLIC AND WAS SCHEDULED FOR CITY COUNCIL FOR MAY 11.
12:37:11PM SO THEY NO LONGER NEED TO REMAIN ON THE JUNE AGENDA.
12:37:15PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS IT TWO SEPARATE APPLICATIONS?
12:37:17PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: IT IS TWO SEPARATE APPLICATIONS.
12:37:20PM IT WAS TWO SEPARATE APPLICATIONS.
12:37:22PM THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT.
12:37:25PM THEY ARE NOW JUST MOVING FORWARD WITH THE REZONING.
12:37:27PM THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.
12:37:30PM SO THAT WAS CLEARED OFF THE JUNE AGENDA, BUT WE JUST FORGOT
12:37:34PM ABOUT THE REZONING.
12:37:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SOUNDS CLEAR TO ME.
12:37:39PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: REZONING IS ON COUNCIL'S AGENDA FOR NEXT
12:37:42PM THURSDAY, SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR IT TO BE ON JUNE.
12:37:45PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WAS THE JUNE MEETING NOTICED?
12:37:50PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: IT WAS A CONTINUANCE.
12:37:52PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WAS A CONTINUANCE --
12:37:54PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THAT WAS CONTINUED BECAUSE COUNCIL CONVENED
12:37:57PM THE CASE, THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT WAS REMANDED BACK TO THE
12:38:00PM PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE REZONING WAS ON THAT SAME NIGHT
12:38:04PM AND THAT NIGHT IT WAS DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE REZONING TO
12:38:08PM JUNE.
12:38:09PM AFTER THAT HEARING, THE APPLICANT THEN WITHDREW THEIR
12:38:13PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST.
12:38:16PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WE HAVE TWO APPLICATIONS FOR THE SAME
12:38:20PM PROPERTY CURRENTLY PENDING?
12:38:22PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: NO.
12:38:22PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT IS WITHDRAWN.
12:38:26PM THERE'S ONLY A REZONING.
12:38:27PM THE REZONING --
12:38:30PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: ABBYE FEELEY.
12:38:31PM I'M HERE ALSO.
12:38:32PM THE REZONING WAS AMENDED IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE DENSITY TO
12:38:37PM BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ALLOWABLE LAND USE AND IS NOW BEING
12:38:43PM REQUESTED FOR HEARING.
12:38:46PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHICH WAS ALREADY NOTICED FOR NEXT WEEK, IS
12:38:48PM THAT CORRECT?
12:38:49PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: YES.
12:38:50PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: YES, BEEN PROPERLY NOTICED.
12:38:54PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
12:38:54PM APPRECIATE THAT.
12:38:56PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
12:38:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS IT CLEAR?
12:38:59PM I CAN MAKE THE MOTION.
12:39:01PM I UNDERSTOOD IT.
12:39:01PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I UNDERSTOOD IT, TOO.
12:39:04PM BUT IT'S VERY UNUSUAL IN TERMS OF PROCESS TO HAVE SOMETHING
12:39:07PM LIKE THAT HAPPEN.
12:39:08PM I'M CURIOUS ABOUT IT.
12:39:09PM I'M OUT OF THE LOOP ON IT.
12:39:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WOULD YOU LIKE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT
12:39:13PM THURSDAY JUST TO BE SAFE?
12:39:15PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: NO.
12:39:16PM I'LL RELY ON THE STAFF REPRESENTATION THAT THIS IS THE
12:39:18PM PROCESS.
12:39:18PM PLEASE MAKE THE MOTION.
12:39:19PM IF THERE ARE ANY CONCERNS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THEM
12:39:21PM NEXT WEEK.
