9:11:49AM MAYOR CASTOR.

9:11:53AM YES, MA'AM.
9:11:53AM GOOD MORNING.
9:11:53AM >>MAYOR CASTOR: ALL RIGHT.
9:11:54AM GOOD MORNING.
9:11:55AM COUNCIL CHAIR MANISCALCO, CITY COUNCIL AND FOR THE PUBLIC
9:12:02AM HERE TODAY, I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE HERE TO PRESENT THE 2025
9:12:08AM BUDGET.
9:12:08AM BEFORE I GET INTO THE PRESENTATION, I DO JUST WANT TO TALK
9:12:14AM FOR A MOMENT ABOUT WHAT GOES INTO CRAFTING THIS BUDGET.
9:12:19AM WE HAVE SPENT HOURS UPON HOURS OVER SEVERAL MONTHS GOING
9:12:26AM OVER EVERY SINGLE LINE ISSUE BY ISSUE TO COME UP WITH THIS
9:12:33AM BUDGET.
9:12:33AM I TELL YOU, I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS AS
9:12:39AM I AM EVERY BUDGET YEAR IN THE EFFORT THAT GOES INTO CRAFTING
9:12:44AM A BUDGET THAT NOT ONLY PROVIDES FOR THE SERVICES FOR OUR
9:12:52AM COMMUNITY BUT ALSO IS A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE BUDGET.
9:12:56AM SO I HOPE THAT'S WHAT YOU ALL FIND TODAY.
9:12:58AM BUT I JUST WANTED TO PUBLICLY COMMEND OUR GROUP BECAUSE
9:13:03AM THERE WERE MANY LATE FRIDAY NIGHTS THAT WE SAT AND WENT
9:13:07AM ISSUE OVER ISSUE AND HAD TO MAKE SOME CUTS THAT SOME OF OUR
9:13:12AM STAFF MEMBERS DIDN'T WANT TO SEE.
9:13:14AM BUT FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COMMUNITY, THEY DID WHAT NEEDED TO
9:13:17AM BE DONE.
9:13:17AM THE FY 2025 BUDGET THEME IS COMMUNITY VALUES.
9:13:25AM YOU WILL FIND THAT THE PROPOSED BUDGET REFLECTS THE SHARED
9:13:28AM BELIEFS AND ASPIRATIONS OF OUR RESIDENTS IN BUILDING A TAMPA
9:13:32AM OF TOMORROW THAT IS PROSPEROUS, SUSTAINABLE, AND AFFORDABLE.
9:13:35AM IT REFLECTS PRIORITIES THAT RESIDENTS IN EACH COUNCIL
9:13:40AM DISTRICT HAVE TOLD US EVERY YEAR IN OUR COMMUNITY VALUES
9:13:45AM SURVEY AND WHAT WE'VE ALL HEARD FROM EACH OF YOU, FROM OUR
9:13:48AM NEIGHBORS AT THE GROCERY STORE, DURING CIVIC MEETINGS AND
9:13:53AM ALSO AT THE BALLOT BOX, THAT THEY WANT OUR CITY TO HAVE A
9:14:00AM HIGH-QUALITY OF LIFE, SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS AND SOLID
9:14:03AM FOUNDATION BUILT ON RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE.
9:14:05AM THEY WANT US TO BE A CITY THAT PROVIDES QUALITY SERVICES,
9:14:12AM EMBRACES FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND MAKES DECISIONS
9:14:16AM STRATEGICALLY.
9:14:16AM A CITY THAT RESPECTS THE DIGNITY OF HARD WORK, EXPANDS
9:14:22AM OPPORTUNITIES FOR BETTER JOBS, AND PROVIDES AN ENVIRONMENT
9:14:25AM THAT IS SUPPORTIVE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ECONOMIC GROWTH.
9:14:30AM THEY WANT THE CITY OF TAMPA TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE WHILE
9:14:34AM AT THE SAME TIME ADDRESSING TODAY'S NEEDS.
9:14:37AM MANY OF THOSE CHALLENGES ARE THE RESULT OF OUR SUCCESS IN
9:14:42AM GROWTH.
9:14:42AM WE HAVE MORE DRIVERS OUT ON OUR ROADS, MORE COMPETITION FOR
9:14:46AM A LIMITED SUPPLY OF HOUSING AND A SHORTAGE OF SKILLED
9:14:50AM WORKERS IN MANY INDUSTRIES.
9:14:53AM IN 2023, WE HAD THE HIGHEST MILLENNIAL POPULATION GROWTH
9:14:58AM RATE IN THE NATION WITH NEARLY TWICE AS MANY MILLENNIALS
9:15:02AM MOVING TO TAMPA AS MOVING AWAY.
9:15:04AM WE ARE THE ONLY BIG CITY IN FLORIDA WITH A POSITIVE NET
9:15:08AM MIGRATION OF GEN Z RESIDENTS UNDER 28.
9:15:11AM I CAN TELL YOU THAT THOSE STATISTICS MAKE ME FEEL VERY, VERY
9:15:16AM OLD.
9:15:17AM BUT IT SPEAKS TO THE VIBRANT GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.
9:15:20AM WHEN IT COMES TO INFRASTRUCTURE, WE HAVE TWO JOBS AS CITY
9:15:24AM GOVERNMENT.
9:15:24AM TO MAINTAIN WHAT WE HAVE AND TO BUILD WHAT WE NEED.
9:15:29AM BOTH ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT AND MUST BE DONE CONCURRENTLY.
9:15:34AM INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING WATER, SOLID WASTE, AND
9:15:37AM TRANSPORTATION, BUT IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT PARKS AND
9:15:41AM FACILITIES.
9:15:42AM THIS BUDGET ACKNOWLEDGES THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING THE
9:15:46AM HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICES, PICKING UP THE TRASH ON TIME,
9:15:50AM KEEPING OUR STREETS AND PARKS CLEAN, FIXING IT FAST WHEN IT
9:15:54AM COMES TO POTHOLES AND CONTINUING TO BE ONE OF THE SAFEST
9:15:58AM CITIES OUR SIZE IN THE NATION BY INVESTING IN OUR POLICE AND
9:16:02AM FIRE.
9:16:03AM THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT OUR RESIDENTS TRUST CITY GOVERNMENT
9:16:08AM TO ADDRESS THESE BIG ISSUES.
9:16:09AM YOU WILL SEE OUR CITY SURVEY -- VALUE SURVEY HERE.
9:16:15AM ACCORDING TO THE PRELIMINARY DATA FROM OUR 2024 COMMUNITY
9:16:19AM VALUES SURVEY, OVER 97% OF RESIDENTS EXPRESSED TRUST IN
9:16:24AM THEIR CITY GOVERNMENT.
9:16:25AM THESE NUMBERS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE RESULTS FROM THE
9:16:28AM PREVIOUS FOUR YEARS.
9:16:29AM LIKEWISE, AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF RESPONDENTS CONTINUE
9:16:33AM TO SAY THAT TAMPA IS A GREAT PLACE TO START AND OPERATE A
9:16:38AM BUSINESS, AND THAT THEY WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND TAMPA AS A
9:16:41AM PLACE TO LIVE TO THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
9:16:45AM OVER 99% OF THOSE SURVEYED EXPECTED TO BE LIVING IN TAMPA IN
9:16:49AM THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
9:16:50AM THAT LEVEL OF TRUST IN GOVERNMENT IS NOT ONLY REMARKABLE,
9:16:55AM BUT IT'S ALSO BEEN CONSISTENTLY HIGH HERE IN THE CITY OF
9:16:58AM TAMPA.
9:17:00AM THIS 2025 BUDGET IS CENTERED AROUND OUR FIVE KEY STRATEGIES
9:17:05AM FOR TRANSFORMING TAMPA'S TOMORROW.
9:17:07AM STRENGTHENING THE SERVICES FOR OUR RESIDENTS, ENHANCING
9:17:12AM WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, ENSURING THAT WE HAVE HOUSING THAT IS
9:17:15AM AFFORDABLE, AND FOCUSING ON SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY.
9:17:19AM NOW, BEFORE WE GO THROUGH THIS BUDGET IN MORE DETAIL, I'D
9:17:24AM LIKE TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR THIS DISCUSSION.
9:17:27AM THIS IS A STATUS QUO BUDGET.
9:17:31AM REVENUES HAVE RISEN BY ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT AS THE CITY'S
9:17:36AM COST.
9:17:36AM SO WE ARE NOT EXPANDING.
9:17:38AM THIS BALLOT WILL LOOK FAMILIAR TO SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT
9:17:42AM HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE.
9:17:44AM THE CITY IS ABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT LEVEL OF SERVICES
9:17:49AM WITH VERY LITTLE LEFT OVER.
9:17:51AM AS YOU KNOW, HIGHER INTEREST RATES HAVE SLOWED DOWN GROWTH
9:17:56AM IN AD VALOREM TAX REVENUE.
9:17:58AM BETWEEN 2019 AND 2023, WE SAW NEARLY A 40% INCREASE IN THE
9:18:04AM COSTS FOR MANY GOODS AND SERVICES THAT WE PURCHASE FOR OUR
9:18:08AM CITY.
9:18:08AM GOVERNMENTS HAVE HAD TO BE MUCH MORE COMPETITIVE IN TERMS OF
9:18:13AM PAY AND BENEFITS TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN RETAIN AND ATTRACT A
9:18:21AM VERY STRONG TEAM HERE IN TAMPA.
9:18:23AM GOOD NEWS, TAMPA'S ECONOMY IS STRONG.
9:18:25AM OUR INFLATION IS NOW AT A LOW 1.8%.
9:18:28AM UNEMPLOYMENT IS VERY LOW.
9:18:30AM INCOMES HAVE OUTPACED INFLATION FOR AVERAGE WORKERS.
9:18:35AM NEW BUSINESSES ARE BEING CREATED AND HOUSEHOLD WEALTH HAS
9:18:39AM INCREASED ESPECIALLY FOR HOMEOWNERS.
9:18:41AM I'M EXTREMELY PROUD OF OUR STAFF FOR THINKING CREATIVELY
9:18:47AM ABOUT HOW TO ACCOMPLISH MORE WITH LESS.
9:18:50AM THE INFLUX OF FUNDING RELATED TO COVID IS OVER, BUT WE
9:18:56AM CONTINUE TO SECURE SIGNIFICANT FEDERAL AND STATE DOLLARS TO
9:19:01AM HELP PAY FOR MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.
9:19:05AM THROUGH THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW, THE FEDERAL
9:19:07AM GOVERNMENT IS INVESTING HISTORIC LEVELS OF FUNDING INTO
9:19:13AM INFRASTRUCTURE, AND I AM COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT TAMPA
9:19:16AM RESIDENTS GET OUR FAIR SHARE OF TAX DOLLARS RETURNED TO OUR
9:19:21AM COMMUNITY.
9:19:21AM I'D LIKE TO THANK CONGRESS WOMAN CASTOR AND THE BIDEN
9:19:26AM ADMINISTRATION FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF TAMPA'S INFRASTRUCTURE
9:19:29AM PROJECTS.
9:19:29AM THANKS TO OUR HARD WORK AND FISCAL DISCIPLINE, TAMPA
9:19:35AM CONTINUES TO HAVE SOME OF THE BEST BOND RATINGS IN THE
9:19:37AM ENTIRE NATION.
9:19:38AM AND, FRANKLY, I WISH THAT MY REPORT CARDS HAD HAD SO MANY
9:19:43AM As ON THEM.
9:19:44AM MY PARENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH HAPPIER.
9:19:47AM BONDING IS QUITE OFTEN COMPARED TO PAY-GO, WHICH MEANS
9:19:53AM SAVING UP OVER 30 YEARS TO PAY FOR A PROJECT.
9:19:57AM BUT BONDED PROJECTS ARE COMPLETED AND CAN BE UTILIZED
9:20:01AM DECADES SOONER.
9:20:03AM AND WE ALL KNOW IF WE WERE TO SAVE UP OVER 30 YEARS TO PAY
9:20:06AM FOR A PROJECT, THE PRICE OF THAT PROJECT WOULD ALSO INCREASE
9:20:10AM DURING THOSE 30 YEARS.
9:20:12AM BONDING ALSO ALLOWS US TO SPREAD THE COST OF A PROJECT OVER
9:20:17AM A DECADE SO THAT THE GENERATIONS USING THAT INFRASTRUCTURE
9:20:21AM CAN ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF BUILDING IT.
9:20:24AM BECAUSE OF OUR GREAT BOND RATINGS, WE HAVE LOWER INTEREST
9:20:28AM PAYMENTS, AND THIS IS SAVING OUR TAXPAYERS MILLIONS OF
9:20:33AM DOLLARS EACH YEAR.
9:20:35AM TRANSPORTATION CONTINUES TO BE A TOP PRIORITY.
9:20:39AM DATA FROM THE COMMUNITY VALUES SURVEY SHOWS THAT FOUR OUT OF
9:20:43AM FIVE OF THE TOP AREAS WHERE RESIDENTS SEE A NEED FOR
9:20:49AM IMPROVEMENT ARE RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION, INCLUDING
9:20:53AM PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE SAFETY, TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND THE
9:20:57AM CONDITION OF OUR STREETS AND FLOODING.
9:20:59AM THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF THIS BUDGET YEAR, WE RESURFACED
9:21:04AM 33 MILES OF STREETS IN 9 NEIGHBORHOODS AND DOUBLED THE SIZE
9:21:09AM OF OUR IN-HOUSE PAVING TEAM.
9:21:12AM SINCE 2019, WE FILLED OVER 11,000 POTHOLES AND PAVED 140
9:21:19AM MILES OF STREETS.
9:21:20AM THE IN-HOUSE PAVING TEAM IS SAVING TAXPAYERS MILLIONS OF
9:21:24AM DOLLARS AND DRAMATICALLY -- DRAMATICALLY ACCELERATING THE
9:21:29AM RESURFACING PROJECTS.
9:21:32AM PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLE SAFETY RANK AS A TOP TRANSPORTATION
9:21:37AM PRIORITY FOR OUR CITY RESIDENTS.
9:21:39AM BY WORKING TOGETHER AND LEVERAGING FEDERAL AND STATE
9:21:43AM DOLLARS, THIS ADMINISTRATION, ALONG WITH CITY COUNCIL, ARE
9:21:46AM MAKING HISTORIC PROGRESS IMPLEMENTING OUR WALK, BIKE AND
9:21:50AM VISION ZERO PLANS.
9:21:52AM IN 2025, WE WILL COMPLETE THE REMAINING PHASES OF THE GREEN
9:21:57AM SPINE BIKE TRAIL CONNECTING EAST TO WEST TAMPA.
9:22:01AM WE'RE WORKING WITH F.D.O.T. TO COMPLETE BIKEWAYS ALONG
9:22:04AM CENTRAL AVENUE AND OLA, CONNECTING SEMINOLE HEIGHTS TO TAMPA
9:22:08AM HEIGHTS AND CONNECTING SULPHUR SPRINGS AND SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
9:22:12AM TO EAST TAMPA AS WELL, ALL THROUGH OUR GREEN SPINE BIKEWAYS.
9:22:16AM THE NEW WEST RIVER WALK IS WHERE OUR EAST-WEST AND
9:22:20AM NORTH-SOUTH NETWORKS WILL COME TOGETHER, LINKING PEOPLE TO
9:22:25AM JOBS, SCHOOLS, AND ACTIVITIES.
9:22:28AM WE APPRECIATE HOW THE COMMUNITY CAME TOGETHER TO ADVOCATE
9:22:31AM FOR THE $24 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO
9:22:36AM SECURE FOR THIS PROJECT.
9:22:38AM AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING READY TO BREAK GROUND ON THAT.
9:22:41AM THE WEST RIVER WALK IS MORE THAN A TRANSFORMATIONAL LINEAR
9:22:46AM PARK AND WORLD-CLASS BIKE-PEDESTRIAN TRAIL.
9:22:50AM IT IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO PROTECT PUBLIC
9:22:54AM ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE WEST TAMPA RIVERFRONT, AND THAT WILL BE
9:23:02AM FOR GENERATIONS TO COME TO ENJOY THAT.
9:23:04AM THAT WEST RIVER WALK IS GOING TO BE A GAME-CHANGER FOR OUR
9:23:09AM COMMUNITY.
9:23:09AM WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH EXCITING QUICK-BUILD
9:23:13AM PROJECTS AS PART OF OUR VISION ZERO INITIATIVE CITYWIDE ON
9:23:16AM OUR HIGH INJURY NETWORK, INCLUDING MANY THAT ARE FUNDED
9:23:20AM THROUGH THE FEDERAL SAFE STREETS FOR ALL PROGRAM.
9:23:22AM THESE INCLUDE NEW SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS LIKE CROSSWALKS AND
9:23:28AM BIKE LANES I TALKED ABOUT.
9:23:29AM WE WILL ALSO BE FILLING CRITICAL SIDEWALK GAPS IDENTIFIED IN
9:23:33AM THE MOVES PLAN AS PART OF A $2 MILLION DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT.
9:23:37AM WE JUST RECEIVED A $24 MILLION FEDERAL RAISE GRANT TO MOVE
9:23:43AM FORWARD WITH THE BERMUDA BOULEVARD SEAWALL IMPROVEMENTS IN
9:23:47AM PALMETTO BEACH.
9:23:48AM THIS WILL HELP PROTECT A LOW-LYING NEIGHBORHOOD FROM
9:23:52AM FLOODING WHILE IMPROVING SAFETY THROUGHOUT THAT
9:23:54AM NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:23:54AM I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE RFQ IS BEING RELEASED FOR
9:23:58AM THE STREETCAR EXTENSION, WHICH WILL BE A GAME-CHANGER FOR
9:24:02AM THE COMMUNITIES THAT CONNECT YBOR CITY TO CHANNELSIDE TO
9:24:07AM WATER STREET TO DOWNTOWN AND NOW ADDING TAMPA HEIGHTS.
9:24:12AM HEALTHY INFRASTRUCTURE IS THE FOUNDATION OF A STRONG CITY,
9:24:17AM WHICH IS WHY THE CITY OF TAMPA LAUNCHED THE PIPES PROGRAM.
9:24:21AM WITH PIPES, WE ARE INVESTING IN THE FUTURE BY TAKING A
9:24:24AM PROACTIVE APPROACH TO RENEW INFRASTRUCTURE, PREVENT
9:24:27AM BREAKDOWNS, AND PROVIDE LONG-TERM PERMANENT FIXES TO WATER
9:24:32AM AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS.
9:24:33AM FOR FY '24, THE CITY HAS COMPLETED 29 PIPES PROJECTS WORTH
9:24:41AM OVER $120 MILLION.
9:24:43AM AND WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 119 PIPES PROJECTS WORTH OVER A
9:24:47AM BILLION DOLLARS IN THE WORKS.
9:24:49AM IN 2025, WE WILL MAKE $64 MILLION WORTH OF CAPITAL
9:24:55AM IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CITY'S AGING WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
9:24:59AM AND 87 MILLION TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF WATER PRODUCTION
9:25:04AM PROGRAMS.
9:25:06AM FOR WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT, THE FY '25 BUDGET PLAN INCLUDES
9:25:10AM $61 MILLION TO REMOVE NITROGEN FROM THE WATER THAT WE EXPEL
9:25:16AM OUT INTO THE BAY.
9:25:17AM IN THE PAST YEAR, HIGHER INTEREST RATES HAVE CAUSED HOME
9:25:22AM VALUES TO STABILIZE AND THE SUPPLY OF NEW APARTMENTS COMING
9:25:26AM ONLINE IS STARTING TO REDUCE RENT.
9:25:30AM THAT SAID, AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS STILL ONE OF THE TOP
9:25:33AM CHALLENGES FACING OUR RESIDENTS AND THE CITY OF TAMPA.
9:25:37AM IN 2025, WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE GRANT FUNDING, TAX CREDITS,
9:25:42AM AND OUR INFILL PROGRAM FOR THE CREATION OF ADDITIONAL
9:25:46AM AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS.
9:25:48AM WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH TAMPA HOPE AND
9:25:52AM OTHER PARTNERS TO EXPAND TEMPORARY HOUSING OPTIONS TO MEET
9:25:56AM EMERGENCY HOUSING NEEDS AND TO PREVENT DISPLACEMENT.
9:25:59AM WE WILL PRIORITIZE PROTECTED, VULNERABLE POPULATIONS,
9:26:04AM INCLUDING FAMILIES, VETERANS, SENIORS, AND THOSE WITH
9:26:09AM DISABILITIES.
9:26:10AM AND WE WILL ALSO FOCUS ON STABILIZING RENTERS AND HOMEOWNERS
9:26:14AM IN LOW INCOME AND MAJORITY/MINORITY NEIGHBORHOODS VULNERABLE
9:26:18AM TO DISPLACEMENT AND GENTRIFICATION.
9:26:21AM WE'VE EXPANDED THE AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES THAT HELP
9:26:24AM ACCELERATE HOME OWNERSHIP AND BUILD WEALTH THROUGH THE
9:26:28AM EXPANSION OF OUR DOWN-PAYMENT ASSISTANCE AND OWNER-OCCUPIED
9:26:32AM REHABILITATION PROGRAMS.
9:26:33AM THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE RENTAL ASSISTANCE ALONG
9:26:39AM WITH CREDIT AND BUDGET COUNSELING TO HELP RENTERS AND
9:26:42AM EXISTING HOMEOWNERS ACHIEVE HOUSING SECURITY AND EXPAND
9:26:45AM THEIR HOUSING OPTIONS. AS YOU ALL AGREE, EVERY TAMPA
9:26:51AM RESIDENT HAS A RIGHT TO FEEL SAFE IN THEIR HOME, BUSINESS,
9:26:54AM AND SCHOOLS REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY LIVE.
9:26:56AM THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN COMMITTED TO THROUGHOUT MY
9:27:00AM CAREER.
9:27:02AM PUBLIC SAFETY IS A PREREQUISITE TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,
9:27:06AM COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT AND OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.
9:27:09AM A SUCCESSFUL CITY IS BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF SAFETY AND
9:27:13AM SECURITY.
9:27:13AM WE CONTINUE TO BE ONE OF THE SAFEST CITIES OUR SIZE IN THE
9:27:18AM NATION THANKS TO THE HARD WORK OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE
9:27:21AM TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR RESIDENTS
9:27:25AM AND BUSINESSES.
9:27:27AM IN THE FIRST HALF OF THIS YEAR, VIOLENT CRIME HAS FALLEN BY
9:27:30AM NEARLY 3%, WHICH IS ON TOP OF LAST YEAR'S REDUCTION OF 8.3.
9:27:35AM TOTAL CRIME IS DOWN MORE THAN 11% OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS
9:27:39AM AND VIOLENT CRIME WITH A FIREARM IS DOWN NEARLY 30%.
9:27:44AM TAMPA FIRE RESCUE ALSO HAS A LOT TO BE PROUD OF.
9:27:48AM THE MEN AND WOMEN OF TAMPA FIRE RESCUE HAVE A DIFFICULT AND
9:27:53AM DANGEROUS JOB.
9:27:55AM RESIDENTS OF OUR CITY COUNT ON THEM TO BE THERE DURING THEIR
9:27:59AM MOST DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.
9:28:01AM LAST YEAR, THEY RESPONDED TO NEARLY 11,000 FIRE CALLS AND
9:28:07AM MORE THAN 81,000 MEDICAL CALLS.
9:28:10AM THIS YEAR'S PROPOSED BUDGET FOR TAMPA FIRE RESCUE INCLUDES
9:28:14AM ALL OF THE CIP FUNDING THAT WAS AGREED TO LAST YEAR,
9:28:17AM INCLUDING MOVING FORWARD ON STATION 24 AND CONTINUING THE
9:28:23AM RENOVATION PROJECTS AT OTHER STATIONS.
9:28:25AM SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN
9:28:31AM EVERYTHING FROM PLANNING TO BUDGETING TO IMPLEMENTATION.
9:28:34AM BOTH HAVE BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR CITY'S CULTURE.
9:28:39AM PROMOTING CONNECTED, HEALTHY, AND VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS
9:28:43AM THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE, INTEGRATING
9:28:46AM SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY INTO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO AND
9:28:49AM INCREASING THE LEVEL OF COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION WILL
9:28:54AM IMPACT OUR FUTURE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
9:28:57AM IN 2025, WE WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE FOLLOWING: WE WILL
9:29:01AM CONTINUE IMPLEMENTING KEY PARTS OF TAMPA'S CLIMATE ACTION
9:29:04AM AND EQUITY PLAN, INCLUDING PROJECTS THAT INCREASE RENEWABLE
9:29:10AM ENERGY, GROW OUR URBAN TREE CANOPY AND ADDRESS EMERGING
9:29:15AM TRENDS LIKE HEAT VULNERABILITY.
9:29:16AM WE WILL LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND INSTALL HUNDREDS OF NEW SOLAR
9:29:21AM PANELS, IMPLEMENT NEW ENERGY SAVINGS PROGRAMS, TRANSITION
9:29:25AM CITY FLEETS TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES, AND ENSURE OUR WORKFORCE
9:29:30AM AND CITY PRACTICES OUR MEETING HIGH LEVELS OF SUSTAINABILITY
9:29:35AM AND RESILIENCE BEST PRACTICES.
9:29:36AM I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS AN
9:29:44AM ISSUE THAT IS NOT A PART OF THE BUDGET PRESENTATION, PER SE,
9:29:48AM BUT IT IS A PROJECT THAT SPEAKS TO OUR SENSE OF COMMUNITY.
9:29:53AM AND THAT IS THE SULPHUR SPRINGS POOL.
9:29:55AM WE ARE ALL AWARE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE THIS POOL HOLDS FOR
9:29:59AM MANY NEIGHBORHOODS, FROM THE CHILDREN THAT WALK UP FOR AN
9:30:04AM ENJOYABLE SUMMER EXPERIENCE TO SWIM TEAMS THAT PRACTICE
9:30:08AM THERE, AND FOR THOSE WHO CHERISH THEIR WATER AEROBICS OR AT
9:30:13AM LEAST THE INSTRUCTOR.
9:30:15AM SULPHUR SPRINGS IS ALSO MY POOL.
9:30:17AM THAT'S WHERE I SWIM LAPS AFTER I RETIRED FROM THE TAMPA
9:30:20AM POLICE DEPARTMENT.
9:30:20AM I WANT COUNCIL TO KNOW THAT WE ARE ENTERING THIS BUDGET YEAR
9:30:27AM WITH A SAVE OUR POOL MENTALITY.
9:30:29AM WE CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILLION IN CAPITAL
9:30:32AM IMPROVEMENT DOLLARS SET ASIDE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES
9:30:36AM ASSOCIATED WITH THE POOL, AND I KNOW THAT THIS IMPORTANT
9:30:41AM ISSUE FOR THE COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY AND I LOOK FORWARD
9:30:45AM TO WORKING TOGETHER TO ATTAINING -- IN ATTAINING THE BEST
9:30:50AM POSSIBLE OUTCOME.
9:30:51AM SO BEFORE I TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO OUR AMAZING CFO,
9:30:55AM DENNIS ROGERO, I'D LIKE TO EMPHASIZE A COUPLE OF THINGS.
9:31:00AM THIS BUDGET REALLY IS OUR RETURN TO NORMAL BUDGET.
9:31:05AM AND WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.
9:31:07AM HOWEVER, WITH CURRENT LEVELS OF REVENUE, I WANT TO BE CLEAR,
9:31:13AM IT WILL NOT ADDRESS MANY OF OUR GAPS AND GROWTH CHALLENGES.
9:31:17AM THAT'S WHY IT IS SO CRITICAL THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY, AS A
9:31:23AM COUNTY, PASS THE RENEWAL OF THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT TAX
9:31:27AM THIS NOVEMBER, AND THAT WE CONTINUE TO EXPLORE EVERY
9:31:32AM POSSIBLE FUNDING STREAM AVAILABLE.
9:31:35AM THANK YOU, COUNCIL, FOR WORKING WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO
9:31:40AM ADDRESS THE IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT WE FACE EVERY DAY, AND I
9:31:44AM HOPE THAT YOU FIND THIS BUDGET SATISFYING AGAIN TO SERVE OUR
9:31:49AM COMMUNITY AND TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.
9:31:53AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:31:54AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:31:54AM MR. ROGERO.
9:32:15AM >>DENNIS ROGERO: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
9:32:16AM GOOD MORNING.
9:32:17AM GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIR.
9:32:18AM DENNIS ROGERO, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.
9:32:20AM THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY TO FINISH PRESENTING THE
9:32:25AM FISCAL YEAR '25 RECOMMENDED OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET.
9:32:35AM COUNCIL WILL RECALL AT YOUR REQUEST, WE ARE BRINGING THIS
9:32:38AM PRESENTATION AND THE MAYOR'S RECOMMENDED BUDGET TO YOU ABOUT
9:32:41AM THREE WEEKS EARLIER THAN IS TYPICAL.
9:32:45AM THANK YOU.
9:32:46AM I APPRECIATE THAT FEEDBACK AGAIN SO WE CAN ALL HAVE A LITTLE
9:32:50AM MORE TIME TO DIGEST, GET DOWN INTO THE DETAILS AND TRADE
9:32:55AM SOME COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, ET CETERA, BACK AND FORTH IN
9:32:59AM ANTICIPATION OF OUR TWO WORKSHOPS COMING UP IN AUGUST.
9:33:03AM OUR TABLE OF CONTENTS, YOU SEE THAT ON THE SCREEN.
9:33:11AM FAIRLY TYPICAL.
9:33:12AM JUMP RIGHT INTO THE OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET AND THEN
9:33:14AM INTO OUR FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OR C.I.P.
9:33:18AM AND FINALLY, OUR DEBT PROGRAM.
9:33:20AM WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE A RELATIVELY COMPREHENSIVE DEBT
9:33:23AM PROGRAM PRESENTATION TODAY, COMPLEMENTING THE COMPREHENSIVE
9:33:28AM PROGRAM PRESENTATION WE GAVE YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
9:33:30AM YEAR, AROUND JANUARY OR FEBRUARY.
9:33:33AM ESPECIALLY ON THE NON-AD VALOREM PLANS FOR DEBT ISSUANCE
9:33:38AM BECAUSE THOSE COME FROM THE GENERAL FUND.
9:33:40AM SO LET'S DIVE RIGHT IN.
9:33:46AM HERE IT IS THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 BUDGET.
9:33:49AM ALL FUNDS JUST OVER 1.8 BILLION.
9:33:52AM AN INCREASE OF JUST OVER 3% COMPARED TO THE CURRENT YEAR.
9:33:56AM AND THOSE INCREASES ARE PRIMARILY IN THE FOLLOWING
9:34:00AM CATEGORIES AND, OF COURSE, WE'LL HAVE WEEKS AND WEEKS TO GET
9:34:02AM INTO FURTHER DETAIL.
9:34:03AM HIGHER SALARIES.
9:34:04AM HIGHER HEALTH CARE COSTS.
9:34:06AM HIGHER PENSION COSTS.
9:34:08AM INFLATIONARY COSTS.
9:34:09AM THE MAYOR MENTIONED THE PHENOMENAL -- THERE'S NO OTHER WORD
9:34:14AM FOR IT -- INCREASE IN COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH INFLATION
9:34:18AM FOLLOWING THE PANDEMIC -- WELL, DURING AND FOLLOWING THE
9:34:21AM PANDEMIC.
9:34:21AM VEHICLE MAINTENANCE.
9:34:22AM WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS OFF-LINE IN OUR BRIEFINGS ABOUT
9:34:25AM VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND THE NEED TO CONTINUE REPLACING
9:34:28AM VEHICLES.
9:34:29AM THE ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA CONTRIBUTIONS.
9:34:34AM EVERY SINGLE YEAR, IF OUR REVENUES ARE -- IF OUR AD VALOREM
9:34:41AM VALUATIONS GO UP, WE CAN EXPECT TO CONTRIBUTE MORE FUNDING
9:34:44AM TO THE CRAs.
9:34:45AM SOME ADDITIONAL STAFFING, AND WE'LL PROVIDE SOME DETAIL ON
9:34:47AM THAT IN A MOMENT, AND, OF COURSE, CONTINUING THE WATER AND
9:34:51AM WASTEWATER PROJECTS PRIMARILY PIPES.
9:34:55AM AS WE ALWAYS DO, WE BREAK OUT THE MAJOR FUNDS FOR YOU HERE,
9:34:59AM INCLUDING THE TWO LARGEST COMPONENTS, AND THEY ARE ALWAYS
9:35:02AM THE LARGEST COMPONENTS.
9:35:04AM I DON'T SEE THAT CHANGING AT ABOUT THREE-FOURTHS OF THE
9:35:07AM ENTIRE BUDGET.
9:35:08AM THAT'S THE ENTERPRISE AND GENERAL FUNDS.
9:35:11AM WE'LL GET INTO MORE DETAIL IN THOSE -- OF THOSE RIGHT NOW.
9:35:17AM AND HERE ARE THE EXPENDITURE CATEGORIES FOR THOSE FUNDS.
9:35:21AM THE GENERAL FUND ON THE LEFT, YOU SEE OVER 60% OF THE BUDGET
9:35:26AM GOING TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
9:35:27AM AGAIN, A VERY LARGE COMPONENT OF OUR GENERAL FUNDING.
9:35:31AM PRIMARILY, TAMPA FIRE RESCUE, TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT
9:35:35AM IT DOES INCLUDE CODE ENFORCEMENT.
9:35:37AM THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY ARE POLICE AND FIRE.
9:35:40AM CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, THOSE ARE THE SUPPORT AGENCIES THAT KEEP
9:35:44AM THE CITY RUNNING BEHIND THE SCENES, INCLUDING MY SHOP,
9:35:47AM REVENUE AND FINANCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION, HUMAN
9:35:50AM RESOURCES, PURCHASING, AND NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY
9:35:54AM AFFAIRS.
9:35:55AM WELL, I TAKE THAT BACK.
9:35:57AM THEY ARE NOT SO BEHIND THE SCENES.
9:35:59AM THEY ARE PRETTY OUT THERE.
9:36:00AM OUR PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND ECONOMIC
9:36:03AM DEVELOPMENT, WHICH INCLUDES THE TAMPA CONVENTION CENTER.
9:36:08AM ON THE RIGHT, THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS.
9:36:10AM THOSE ARE THE DEPARTMENTS PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE
9:36:13AM COMMUNITY AND CHARGING SEPARATELY AND SOLELY FOR THOSE
9:36:17AM SERVICES.
9:36:17AM AGAIN, WHAT THEY CHARGE IN THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS CAN ONLY BE
9:36:21AM SPENT ON WHAT THEY DO IN THE ENTERPRISE FUND.
9:36:24AM THEY ARE RUN LIKE A BUSINESS.
9:36:25AM ON THE LEFT, AND AS IS TYPICAL, YOU SEE PROPERTY TAX
9:36:33AM REVENUES BY THEMSELVES ARE INSUFFICIENT TO PAY EVEN FOR THE
9:36:38AM COST OF POLICE AND FIRE SERVICES.
9:36:39AM YOU SEE POLICE AND FIRE SERVICES IN FISCAL YEAR '25, NEARLY
9:36:45AM $390 MILLION.
9:36:47AM OVER AT THE TOP RIGHT, YOU SEE OUR TOTAL PROPERTY TAXES ARE
9:36:50AM ONLY ANTICIPATED TO BE -- SAY ONLY, IT IS A BIG TICKET BUT
9:36:54AM NOT QUITE UP TO FUNDING PUBLIC SAFETY -- $354.2 MILLION.
9:36:59AM BUT AS COUNCIL KNOWS, BUT TO REITERATE, THAT'S NOT THE WHOLE
9:37:04AM STORY.
9:37:05AM YOU SEE AFTER THE NEARLY $54 MILLION COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
9:37:08AM AGENCY COMPONENT, WHAT WE HAVE LEFT, WE ANTICIPATE HAVING
9:37:13AM LEFT IS A LITTLE OVER 300 MILLION.
9:37:16AM SO, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT IS WORTH REITERATING, I THINK, EVERY
9:37:21AM YEAR, BECAUSE I CONTINUE AND PROBABLY WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE
9:37:25AM IN THE COMMUNITY TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO ASSOCIATE OUR GENERAL
9:37:29AM FUND SOLELY WITH PROPERTY TAXES.
9:37:31AM OF COURSE, THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
9:37:33AM IT'S OUR BIGGEST REVENUE, NOT OUR ONLY GENERAL FUND REVENUE.
9:37:38AM IN AND OF ITSELF IT WILL NOT PAY FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
9:37:41AM OUR PROPORTIONAL COMPONENT OF THE CRA CONTRIBUTION IS GOING
9:37:45AM UP THIS YEAR.
9:37:46AM IT IS NOW ABOUT ONE-FIFTH OF OUR PROPERTY TAXES FOR FISCAL
9:37:50AM YEAR 2025.
9:37:53AM CONTINUING WITH THE GENERAL FUND, HERE IS OUR GENERAL FUND
9:37:59AM BALANCE HISTORY AND OUR PROJECTIONS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AND
9:38:03AM NEXT YEAR.
9:38:04AM FIRST AND FOREMOST, LET ME THANK YOU ALL AGAIN.
9:38:08AM I'M VERY PLEASED TO CONTINUE THANKING YOU FOR YOUR VERY,
9:38:11AM VERY STRONG SUPPORT OF MAINTAINING OUR FUND BALANCE.
9:38:16AM AS I WILL ALWAYS REITERATE, IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT
9:38:19AM AS WE DISCUSS OUR CREDIT RATINGS.
9:38:22AM AS ALWAYS, TO MAINTAIN THAT PREFERRED RATIO OF 23 OR 24
9:38:28AM PERCENT AS THE BUDGET GOES UP, THE AMOUNT NECESSARY GOES UP,
9:38:32AM AND YOU SEE THAT REFLECTED IN THE GRAPH.
9:38:36AM AS WE PLAN AND EXPECT THIS, IT STILL REMAINS ABOVE OUR
9:38:40AM BOTTOM-LINE POLICY NUMBER OF 20%.
9:38:43AM ABOUT $19 MILLION MORE THAN OUR 20%.
9:38:47AM AND 20% IS HEALTHY, DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT WE ENJOY AND
9:38:51AM VERY PRIVILEGED TO HAVE A PERCENTAGE ABOVE THAT.
9:38:53AM THIS CONSISTENCY -- AND I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, I'LL SAY IT
9:38:58AM AGAIN -- PAINTS A VERY NICE STABLE PICTURE OF OUR FINANCES,
9:39:04AM ESPECIALLY OUR FINANCES FOR THOSE BLACK SWAN EVENTS, FOR
9:39:08AM THOSE UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, ANOTHER REASON WE ARE VIEWED
9:39:11AM SO STRONGLY.
9:39:12AM THE MAYOR MENTIONED THE INCREASE IN REVENUES AND THE
9:39:21AM INCREASE IN EXPENDITURES, AND WE'RE PROVIDING A BIT MORE
9:39:23AM DETAIL HERE FOR THOSE.
9:39:26AM THE FISCAL YEAR 25 MAJOR REVENUE INCREASES YOU SEE HERE AT
9:39:30AM THE TOP, PROPERTY TAXES, A LITTLE OVER $20 MILLION, WHICH
9:39:36AM I'LL BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU IS NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT, BUT
9:39:39AM IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT THIS REPRESENTS A 6% INCREASE IN OUR
9:39:45AM PROPERTY VALUATION.
9:39:46AM LAST YEAR, IT WAS DOUBLE THAT.
9:39:48AM IT WAS 12%.
9:39:49AM SO WHEN OBVIOUS SLOWING DOWN IN THE HOUSING MARKET, SOME
9:39:54AM WOULD SAY STABILIZATION WAS A BAD THING BUT IN THIS
9:39:59AM PARTICULAR CASE IT REPRESENTS HALF OF THE INCREASE WE
9:40:01AM ENJOYED LAST YEAR.
9:40:02AM AND YOU'LL SEE THAT AS A CONSISTENT THEME AS THE MAYOR LED
9:40:07AM OFF WITH.
9:40:07AM IT IS A BIT OF A TIGHT BUDGET.
9:40:09AM YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM, WE ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED NEARLY 27
9:40:13AM MILLION, AND WE THOUGHT THAT WAS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE AT
9:40:17AM 8%.
9:40:17AM BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.
9:40:20AM OTHER TAXES COMING IN AT NEARLY 19 MILLION.
9:40:23AM AND THIS IS NEARLY ALL ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTRICITY,
9:40:27AM ELECTRICITY REVENUES.
9:40:28AM OUR ELECTRIC FRANCHISE FEES AND OUR ELECTRIC UTILITY TAXES.
9:40:32AM WITH JUST A BIT OF AN INCREASE IN OUR COMMUNICATION SERVICES
9:40:37AM TAX AND OUR WATER UTILITIES TAX.
9:40:40AM SO WE'LL TAKE IT.
9:40:41AM CHARGES FOR SERVICE, INCREASE IS MINOR BUT AGAIN WE'LL TAKE
9:40:45AM IT 3.5 MILLION.
9:40:47AM THIS IS FROM THE CONVENTION CENTER, PARKS AND RECREATION,
9:40:49AM THINGS LIKE THAT.
9:40:50AM FINALLY, OUR MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES, AGAIN, MUCH MORE DETAIL
9:40:54AM PROVIDED IN THE BUDGET AND THROUGHOUT THE BUDGET, BUT THESE
9:40:57AM INCLUDE INTEREST REVENUES, HURRICANE REIMBURSEMENTS
9:41:00AM ASSOCIATED WITH IAN AND IDALIA.
9:41:05AM TOTAL REVENUE INCREASE OF $57.4 MILLION.
9:41:08AM WHICH IS HEALTHY, BUT AS YOU'LL SEE ON I THINK OUR NEXT
9:41:14AM SLIDE, LET'S GET TO THAT RIGHT NOW, PRETTY MUCH MATCHING OUR
9:41:19AM EXPENDITURE INCREASES FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
9:41:22AM AT THE TOP, PAY AND BENEFITS INCREASED NEARLY $37 MILLION AS
9:41:27AM WE'VE HEARD COUNCIL SAY, AS YOU JUST HEARD THE MAYOR SAY,
9:41:31AM KEEPING UP, EXPANDING SERVICES, AND MAINTAINING A
9:41:35AM COMPETITIVE EMPLOYEE BODY TAKES FUNDING.
9:41:38AM AND YOU SEE THAT HERE.
9:41:39AM FIVE NEW POSITIONS AT JUST UNDER $1 MILLION.
9:41:44AM A VERY SLIGHT INCREASE IN POSITIONS.
9:41:47AM FTEs, THAT'S FULL-TIME EQUIVALENTS.
9:41:51AM THE CRA CONTRIBUTIONS INCREASED $3 MILLION.
9:41:54AM WE'VE MENTIONED THAT.
9:41:55AM PAY-GO CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDING.
9:41:57AM THAT IS FOR THE TAMPA FIRE RESCUE COMPUTER-AIDED DISPATCH OR
9:42:02AM CAD PROJECT.
9:42:05AM SIMPLY MAINTAINING SERVICES WITH THE INCREASED COST WAS
9:42:09AM ALMOST $11 MILLION IN THE GENERAL FUND.
9:42:11AM NO EXPANSION OF SERVICES, JUST TO MAINTAIN, AS YOU HEARD THE
9:42:16AM MAYOR, THE STATUS QUO.
9:42:17AM THAT'S A CHUNK OF CHANGE.
9:42:19AM A SLIGHT INCREASED LEVEL OF SERVICE, NEARLY $2 MILLION AND
9:42:23AM SOME NEW SERVICES AT NEARLY $1.5 MILLION.
9:42:26AM BUT, AGAIN, THE TAKEAWAY IS VERY LITTLE TO EXPAND WHAT WE'RE
9:42:30AM DOING.
9:42:31AM AGAIN, THE MAYOR MENTIONED STATUS QUO.
9:42:35AM SPEAKING OF THOSE SALARIES, HERE ARE THE ANTICIPATED SALARY
9:42:40AM ADJUSTMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR '25.
9:42:42AM YOU SEE 4.5% FOR THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING EMPLOYEES.
9:42:47AM AND FOR THE NON-BARGAINING EMPLOYEES, 3% ACROSS THE BOARD
9:42:51AM WITH THE MAYOR STILL DECIDING ON DIRECTORS AND
9:42:55AM ADMINISTRATORS PAY INCREASES.
9:42:57AM OUR SUMMARY OF POSITION INCREASES, I'LL START AT THE TOP
9:43:03AM THERE.
9:43:03AM WE ALWAYS LIKE TO PROVIDE THIS HISTORICAL EMPHASIS BECAUSE
9:43:09AM WE DO THINK, YOU KNOW, PRIOR TO THE GREAT FINANCIAL CRISIS,
9:43:13AM WE HAD ALMOST 5,050 EMPLOYEES.
9:43:17AM WE STILL HAVE LESS THAN 5,000 EMPLOYEES.
9:43:19AM WE VIEW THAT AS CONTINUING EFFORTS AND WE'RE --
9:43:25AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONES.
9:43:28AM THANK YOU.
9:43:29AM >>DENNIS ROGERO: THANK YOU.
9:43:30AM AGAIN, WE VIEW THAT AS CONTINUING EFFICIENCY AND
9:43:34AM EFFECTIVENESS IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE YEARS, STILL TRYING TO
9:43:37AM STAY BELOW THAT LEVEL WHEN THERE WAS AMPLE MONEY RIGHT
9:43:42AM BEFORE THE RECESSION AND THE GREAT FINANCIAL CRISIS.
9:43:45AM YOU SEE THE MILLAGE RATE COMPARISON HERE.
9:43:50AM AGAIN, PART OF WHAT WE WOULD SUBMIT IS A FISCALLY
9:43:54AM CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT STYLE.
9:43:58AM WE COMPARE FAVORABLY, YOU SEE TO ORLANDO, ST. PETERSBURG,
9:44:02AM AND MIAMI IN TERMS OF OUR MILLAGE RATE.
9:44:07AM CONTINUING TO COMPARE FAVORABLY WHEN WE GET TO THE PERSONNEL
9:44:11AM POPULATION RATIO COMPARISON.
9:44:13AM HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO WE HAVE VERSUS THE POPULATION.
9:44:17AM WE ARE SECOND ONLY TO ORLANDO, YOU SEE IN THE LIGHT GREEN.
9:44:20AM ALL THE WHILE, OF COURSE, AND INCLUDING THESE CITIES -- I
9:44:25AM DON'T WANT TO SINGLE US OUT -- EXPANSION CONTINUES TO
9:44:28AM HAPPEN.
9:44:28AM GROWTH CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.
9:44:30AM DEMAND FOR SERVICES CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.
9:44:33AM SO WE THINK WE'RE DOING VERY, VERY WELL IN COMPARISON.
9:44:36AM MOVING ON TO OUR GRANTS PROGRAM, YOU HEARD THE MAYOR MENTION
9:44:41AM OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDING AND ANOTHER BANNER YEAR.
9:44:45AM YOU SEE IT RIGHT THERE.
9:44:47AM NEARLY $76 MILLION AND, OF COURSE, YOU SEE THE PROGRESS
9:44:51AM SINCE WE REVAMPED OUR GRANT PROGRAM IN THE YEAR 2020.
9:44:56AM VERY AGGRESSIVE AND AMBITIOUS APPLICATIONS.
9:45:01AM VERY AGGRESSIVE COORDINATION BOTH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY
9:45:06AM WITH OTHER PARTNERS, WITH TALLAHASSEE, WITH WASHINGTON,
9:45:09AM D.C., AND YOU SEE IT PAYING OFF.
9:45:11AM BY THE TIME THIS FISCAL YEAR ENDS, WE ANTICIPATE WE WILL
9:45:15AM HAVE APPLIED FOR OVER A QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS IN
9:45:19AM OUTSIDE FUNDING.
9:45:20AM THAT'S VERY, VERY AGGRESSIVE AND IT'S VERY OPTIMISTIC
9:45:25AM BECAUSE WE HAVE A COUPLE OF MONTHS WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT
9:45:27AM ALL.
9:45:28AM WE NEVER ARE GOING TO GET IT ALL BUT THAT DOESN'T KEEP US
9:45:31AM FROM PUSHING APPLICATIONS AND REQUESTS FOR OTHER FUNDING.
9:45:34AM MOVING NOW INTO OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
9:45:40AM MAY I BEG A LITTLE BIT OF INDULGENCE FROM COUNCIL ON THIS
9:45:44AM NOTE.
9:45:44AM WE HAVE A DELIVERABLE DUE TO YOU.
9:45:47AM IT IS NOT READY YET.
9:45:49AM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, YOU WILL RECALL WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE
9:45:52AM YOU A SUMMATION OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND AMOUNTS
9:45:55AM THAT HAVE FALLEN OFF SINCE THE CURRENT YEAR.
9:45:58AM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT ARE STAYING THE SAME AND
9:46:01AM NEW CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS GOING FORWARD.
9:46:05AM MIKE PERRY AND HIS SHOP, THE BUDGET OFFICE, HAVE CRAFTED A
9:46:08AM VERY, VERY NICE DRAFT.
9:46:10AM IT'S NOT QUITE READY YET.
9:46:12AM WE'LL NEED ABOUT A WEEK OR SO FOR THAT.
9:46:14AM WE WORKED VERY HARD TO TRY TO HAVE IT TO YOU TODAY, BUT IT
9:46:18AM WILL BE COMING VERY, VERY SOON.
9:46:20AM BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE
9:46:23AM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
9:46:24AM YOU SEE HERE OVER THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD JUST UNDER
9:46:28AM $1.7 BILLION OF RECOMMENDED PROJECTS.
9:46:31AM IT REMAINS VERY CONSISTENT I THINK WITH ONE NOTABLY
9:46:35AM EXCEPTION WHICH I'LL POINT OUT IN A MINUTE, CONSISTENT WITH
9:46:38AM OUR CURRENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
9:46:40AM AND THOSE ARE WASTEWATER AND WATER.
9:46:44AM AGGRESSIVE, HEAVY EMPHASIS ON CONTINUING THAT PIPES PROGRAM.
9:46:49AM ONE OF THE EXCEPTIONS, THOUGH, IS YOU SEE FIRE RESCUE
9:46:52AM HOLDING ITS OWN AT OVER 120, ALMOST $126 MILLION OVER THAT
9:46:57AM FIVE-YEAR PERIOD.
9:46:59AM YOU HEARD THE MAYOR MENTION THE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT THAT
9:47:04AM WE ANTICIPATE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS IN TAMPA FIRE RESCUE.
9:47:07AM THAT'S REFLECTED THERE.
9:47:09AM HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF OUR MAJOR PROJECTS, THE COMPREHENSIVE
9:47:17AM INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TAMPA'S NEIGHBORHOODS, THAT IS AN ONGOING
9:47:21AM PROJECT.
9:47:21AM IT CONTINUES.
9:47:22AM WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO REFERENCE THAT OUR PIPES PROGRAM, AS
9:47:26AM I JUST MENTIONED, IT'S MANY DIFFERENT COMPONENTS TO IT.
9:47:30AM AS YOU KNOW, IT IS A 20 YEAR, NEARLY $3 BILLION PLAN AND
9:47:36AM THAT'S DRIVING, YOU HEARD THE MAYOR MENTION, SOME OF THE
9:47:38AM SUCCESSES AND IT CONTINUES TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
9:47:42AM WE CONTINUE TO TAKE IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY AND
9:47:45AM SPEND SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY GETTING THINGS DONE.
9:47:48AM SO A VERY -- IT'S A SUCCESS LOGISTICALLY FROM A PERFORMANCE
9:47:54AM PERSPECTIVE AND THIS IS IMPORTANT TO US.
9:47:57AM IT'S A SUCCESS FROM A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE.
9:47:59AM WE'RE NOT BORROWING MONEY AND SITTING ON IT AND PAYING
9:48:02AM INTEREST ON MONEY WE'RE NOT PUTTING TO WORK.
9:48:04AM PARKS AND RECREATION AND POLICE, ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHTING,
9:48:11AM K-BAR RANCH PARK AND GUIDA HOUSE RENOVATIONS AND POLICE,
9:48:16AM HOWARD AVENUE ANNEX BUILDING.
9:48:18AM WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT WITH FORENSICS AND
9:48:21AM IMPOUNDS.
9:48:22AM OUR MOBILITY PROJECTS OVER THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD, NEARLY $70
9:48:27AM MILLION.
9:48:28AM YOU SEE RESURFACING, ET CETERA.
9:48:31AM THE MAYOR MENTIONED VISION ZERO.
9:48:33AM WE'LL GET INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON THIS ALSO.
9:48:36AM TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION.
9:48:42AM THERE IS THE COMPUTER-AIDED DISPATCH ITEM I MENTIONED
9:48:45AM EARLIER AND, OF COURSE, THE RELOCATION OF THE SOLID WASTE
9:48:49AM DEPARTMENT FROM SPRUCE AVENUE TO 34th STREET AT THE
9:48:54AM McKAY BAY COMPLEX.
9:49:00AM THESE ARE THE PROJECTS BY DISTRICT.
9:49:02AM AGAIN, ON THE WEBSITE, WE HAVE ANY NUMBER OF DIFFERENT LINKS
9:49:07AM FOR GPS LOCATIONS, FURTHER DETAIL, OF COURSE, AS YOU ALL
9:49:11AM KNOW, AND ACCESS TO OUR OPEN GOV SYSTEM FOR WHAT WE FEEL IS
9:49:16AM VERY, VERY DETAILED FOR THOSE THAT WANT THE INFORMATION
9:49:20AM ASSOCIATED WITH THESE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
9:49:22AM THERE AGAIN IS THE COMPREHENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TAMPA'S
9:49:30AM NEIGHBORHOODS IN DISTRICT FOUR, THE SOUTH HOWARD FLOOD
9:49:32AM RELIEF AND STREETSCAPE.
9:49:35AM I DO WANT TO MENTION -- YOU'LL SEE IT LATER TODAY ON YOUR
9:49:38AM AGENDA -- THE WEST RIVER WALK.
9:49:42AM LITTLE AHEAD OF MYSELF.
9:49:48AM DISTRICT FIVE, AGAIN, THE WEST RIVER WALK.
9:49:50AM EAST TAMPA RECREATIONAL COMPLEX.
9:49:52AM AND, AGAIN, THAT COMPREHENSIVE -- I'M JUST GOING TO CALL
9:49:56AM THAT NEIGHBORHOOD INFRASTRUCTURE FROM NOW ON BECAUSE I DON'T
9:50:01AM SEEM TO BE ABLE TO --
9:50:03AM TO DISTRICT 6, AGAIN, THE NEIGHBORHOOD INFRASTRUCTURE
9:50:10AM PROJECT.
9:50:10AM AGAIN, THE BUILD GRANT, THE WEST RIVER WALK ITEM THAT YOU'LL
9:50:13AM HAVE LATER ON TODAY.
9:50:16AM THE ANNEXED BUILDING FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, FIRE STATION
9:50:19AM NUMBER 9, THE MAYOR MENTIONED THE SULPHUR SPRINGS POOL.
9:50:23AM I BELIEVE SHE MENTIONED THE AMOUNT.
9:50:25AM IF SHE DIDN'T, I'LL REITERATE IT, NEARLY $2 MILLION FOR
9:50:29AM SULPHUR SPRINGS POOL IMPROVEMENTS.
9:50:32AM IN DISTRICT 7, AGAIN, THE NEIGHBORHOOD INFRASTRUCTURE
9:50:39AM PROJECT.
9:50:40AM FIRE STATION NUMBER 4, THE K-BAR RANCH.
9:50:46AM FINALLY, FOLLOWING OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, BECAUSE
9:50:53AM IT IS SO INTERTWINED WITH FINANCING AND BOND ISSUANCES,
9:50:57AM WE'RE GOING TO ROLL RIGHT INTO OUR DEBT PROGRAM.
9:51:00AM THE MAYOR ALREADY MENTIONED THIS, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH
9:51:07AM MENTIONING TWICE AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MAYOR, THE CITY
9:51:10AM COUNCIL, AND TO THE DEPARTMENTS FOR, AGAIN, OUTSTANDING
9:51:13AM CREDIT RATING.
9:51:14AM REALLY ACROSS THE BOARD.
9:51:17AM GOES HAND IN HAND WITH BIG PROJECTS.
9:51:19AM AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED, IT ALLOWS US TO DO MORE BECAUSE OUR
9:51:23AM INTEREST RATES OR OUR INTEREST PAYMENTS, EXCUSE ME, ARE
9:51:27AM CHEAPER.
9:51:28AM WE'VE HAD TWO UPGRADES SINCE 2019.
9:51:31AM YOU SEE THOSE IN GREEN.
9:51:32AM I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.
9:51:35AM COUNCIL, THE MAYOR, AND THE COMMUNITY SHOULD EXPECT NOTHING
9:51:38AM LESS.
9:51:39AM AT THE TOP, YOU SEE THE ISSUE CREDIT RATING THAT FOR ALL
9:51:44AM INTENTS AND PURPOSES IS OUR FICO SCORE.
9:51:47AM S&P OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT YOU SEE HAS GIVEN US THE HIGHEST
9:51:51AM IT CAN GIVE.
9:51:52AM IT'S AN OUTSTANDING FICO SCORE FOR THE CITY.
9:51:55AM MOODY'S FITCH, GIVEN US THE SECOND HIGHEST.
9:51:59AM WE WILL CONTINUE TO TRY FOR THE HIGHEST BUT WE'LL TAKE
9:52:02AM SECOND HIGHEST FOR NOW.
9:52:04AM I WOULD LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DEBT CAPACITY.
9:52:12AM THE SUBJECT HAS COME UP QUITE OFTEN.
9:52:14AM WE'VE TRIED TO SPEAK TO IT.
9:52:16AM WANT TO SPEAK TO IT A LITTLE BIT MORE.
9:52:17AM SO WE'LL GET A LITTLE DETAILED HERE.
9:52:20AM ATYPICALLY DETAILED FROM WHAT WE'VE PRESENTED IN THE PAST.
9:52:24AM AS WE TALK ABOUT CAPACITY, YOU SEE HERE THERE ARE A NUMBER
9:52:27AM OF ELEMENTS.
9:52:28AM BEFORE I GO ON, LET ME STATE AND CREDIT AND THANK THE
9:52:33AM OUTSIDE TEAM MEMBERS THAT WE WORK WITH.
9:52:36AM I'VE GOT A FANTASTIC REVENUE AND FINANCE TEAM, BUT WE HAVE A
9:52:39AM FANTASTIC FINANCIAL ADVISOR.
9:52:41AM WE HAVE ONE OF THE BEST FINANCIAL ADVISORS I THINK IN THE
9:52:43AM SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES.
9:52:44AM FANTASTIC BOND COUNSEL, DISCLOSURE COUNSEL.
9:52:50AM FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY CONSULTANT.
9:52:52AM SO WE HAVE A VERY LARGE EXPERIENCED AND INTELLIGENT TEAM
9:52:56AM WHEN WE'RE COMING UP WITH WHAT IS THE CITY'S DEBT CAPACITY.
9:52:59AM YOU SEE HERE REVENUES.
9:53:03AM HISTORIC AUDITED REVENUES.
9:53:04AM I'M GOING TO REEMPHASIZE THAT IN THE PRESENTATION BECAUSE AS
9:53:07AM WE DECIDE WHAT THE CAPACITY IS, THE BUDGET OFFICE, FOR
9:53:11AM INSTANCE, NORMALLY ALL ABOUT LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE, RIGHT,
9:53:15AM AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
9:53:16AM EDUCATED GUESSING, ALL KINDS OF RESEARCH.
9:53:18AM BUT WHEN SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS DECIDING WHAT THE CITY'S
9:53:22AM DEBT CAPACITY IS, WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT HAS ACTUALLY
9:53:25AM HAPPENED.
9:53:26AM THAT'S WHAT WE LOOK AT.
9:53:27AM AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REVENUES.
9:53:30AM SECOND, REQUIRED DEBT SERVICE COVERAGES.
9:53:34AM WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THAT A LITTLE MORE IN A MINUTE, BUT
9:53:37AM CAPACITY LEADS INTO, HEY, DO YOU HAVE THE FUNDING?
9:53:40AM ARE YOU ANTICIPATED TO HAVE THE FUNDING TO COVER YOUR DEBT
9:53:43AM SERVICE?
9:53:43AM AND NOT ONLY COVER YOUR DEBT SERVICE, BUT MORE THAN COVER
9:53:47AM YOUR DEBT SERVICE AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT OUTSTANDING DEBT.
9:53:52AM WE TALK A LOT, OF COURSE, AROUND HERE ABOUT ISSUING NEW
9:53:55AM DEBT, BUT WE ARE ALWAYS -- ALMOST ALWAYS -- PAYING OFF
9:53:59AM EXISTING DEBT THAT WE HAVE.
9:54:00AM SO IT'S A DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE A
9:54:04AM DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT, I THINK, FOR A CITY OF THIS SIZE AND A
9:54:07AM CITY WITH THESE ASPIRATIONS.
9:54:09AM THE ANTI-DILUTION TEST.
9:54:17AM I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO WONKISH, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S
9:54:20AM UNAVOIDABLE.
9:54:21AM THIS IS DONE, AS YOU SEE HERE, TO PROTECT EXISTING BOND
9:54:23AM HOLDERS.
9:54:24AM PEOPLE, COMPANIES, WHETHER IT'S RETAIL, MOM-AND-POP SHOPS,
9:54:27AM OR ORGANIZATIONS HAVE MADE AN INVESTMENT IN THE CITY.
9:54:30AM WE HAVE BORROWED MONEY FROM THEM THROUGH BONDS.
9:54:34AM THEY WANT ASSURANCE, JUSTIFIABLY, THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO
9:54:38AM MAKE POOR DECISIONS IN THE FUTURE THAT WILL JEOPARDIZE THEIR
9:54:42AM INVESTMENT IN THE CITY, AND THAT IS WHAT AN ANTIDILUTION
9:54:47AM TEST DOES.
9:54:47AM IT HAS TO MEET A TWO-PRONG TEST.
9:54:50AM AGAIN, WE HAVE TO MEET THAT MINIMUM REQUIRED COVERAGE, WHICH
9:54:53AM I'LL GET TO IN A MINUTE, AND WE HAVE TO ESTABLISH WHAT IS A
9:54:57AM MAXIMUM ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE.
9:54:59AM WHAT THAT MEANS IS HOW MUCH ARE WE PAYING EVERY YEAR.
9:55:02AM HOW MUCH ARE WE ANTICIPATED TO PAY EVERY YEAR.
9:55:05AM BECAUSE IT'S ONE THING TO SAY, HEY, WE'LL ISSUE A HUNDRED
9:55:07AM MILLION DOLLARS OVER 30 YEARS, WE HAVE TO VERIFY THAT WE'LL
9:55:10AM BE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE DEBT PAYMENTS EACH AND EVERY SINGLE
9:55:13AM YEAR.
9:55:13AM AND YOU SEE HERE CALCULATED BY THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR, WE PAY
9:55:19AM SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS USING, AGAIN, AUDITED FINANCIAL DATA.
9:55:23AM IT'S NOT WHAT WE THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
9:55:25AM IT'S BASED ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE RECENT PAST.
9:55:28AM EXISTING FINANCIAL MARKET DATA.
9:55:31AM WANT TO TALK ABOUT DYNAMIC, I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS BY NOW
9:55:34AM THE FINANCIAL MARKETS ARE NOTHING IF NOT DYNAMIC, ESPECIALLY
9:55:42AM IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
9:55:42AM SO THERE ARE A GREAT MANY MOVING PARTS.
9:55:44AM AND IT IS A LEGAL TEST.
9:55:46AM IT IS A LEGAL TEST TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE COMPLYING WITH OUR
9:55:50AM BOND COVENANTS.
9:55:51AM HERE IS OUR ANTIDILUTION TEST.
9:55:58AM THE FIRST TEST.
9:56:00AM YOU SEE ON THE TOP OUR LEGALLY AVAILABLE NON-AD VALOREM
9:56:06AM REVENUES.
9:56:06AM THOSE ARE OUR GENERAL FUND REVENUES.
9:56:08AM I'LL REITERATE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PUBLIC, NON-AD VALOREM
9:56:12AM MEANS NON-PROPERTY TAXES.
9:56:14AM THE FISCAL YEAR '22 AMOUNT, FISCAL YEAR '23 AMOUNT AND OUR
9:56:18AM AVERAGE.
9:56:19AM OUR ANTICIPATED MAXIMUM ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE, INCLUDING OUR
9:56:23AM PROJECTED DEBT, WHAT WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO PAY EVERY YEAR
9:56:26AM FOR NON-AD VALOREM, IS A LITTLE OVER $60 MILLION.
9:56:29AM THE NEXT LINE DOWN YOU SEE MINIMUM DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE IS
9:56:34AM 1.5 TIMES.
9:56:37AM WE HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST 1.5 TIMES THESE LEGALLY AVAILABLE
9:56:42AM REVENUES IN ORDER TO MEET THAT FIRST TEST.
9:56:44AM THE LAST LINE YOU SEE WE EXCEEDED SIGNIFICANTLY.
9:56:49AM WE HAVE NEARLY SIX TIMES THE COVERAGE AS OPPOSED TO ONE AND
9:56:53AM A HALF TIMES THE COVERAGE.
9:56:55AM THAT'S THE FIRST TEST, WHICH YOU SEE WE PASSED EASILY.
9:56:58AM IN THE SECOND TEST, YOU SEE THE GOVERNMENTAL REVENUES.
9:57:06AM GOVERNMENTAL REVENUES FOR FISCAL YEAR '22 AND '23 AND THE
9:57:10AM AVERAGE OF JUST OVER $793 MILLION.
9:57:12AM WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUT SALES TAX.
9:57:16AM WE'LL TAKE OUT STORMWATER.
9:57:18AM HERE ARE THE AVAILABLE GOVERNMENTAL REVENUES YOU SEE,
9:57:21AM $735.5 MILLION.
9:57:24AM WHY SALES TAX?
9:57:26AM WHY STORMWATER?
9:57:27AM THOSE ARE SEPARATE REVENUE STREAMS.
9:57:30AM OUR CURRENT MAXIMUM ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE, YOU REMEMBER THAT
9:57:33AM FROM THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.
9:57:35AM WE ANTICIPATE 60 -- ALMOST 60.5 MILLION.
9:57:39AM THE MAXIMUM WE'RE ALLOWED IS 20%.
9:57:42AM WE'RE 8%.
9:57:44AM THAT'S $60.4 MILLION IS 8%.
9:57:48AM SO MOVING FURTHER DOWN, BASED ON OUR AVAILABLE GOVERNMENTAL
9:57:53AM REVENUES, IF WE COULD OR IF WE WANTED TO, EXCUSE ME, BECAUSE
9:57:58AM WE CAN, WE CAN GO TO 20%.
9:58:00AM NOW, WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING THAT, AND I DON'T ANTICIPATE
9:58:03AM THAT WE WILL RECOMMEND THAT.
9:58:04AM THAT WILL BRING YOU AT THE VERY BOTTOM AN ANNUAL DEBT
9:58:07AM SERVICE PAYMENT OF $148 MILLION.
9:58:10AM WE ANTICIPATE MUCH LESS THAN HALF THAT.
9:58:14AM SO WE HAVE PASSED OUR SECOND ANTIDILUTION TEST.
9:58:17AM TO RECAP, CAPACITY IS BASED ON ANY NUMBER OF THINGS,
9:58:24AM FINANCIAL MARKET CONDITIONS, REQUIRED DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE,
9:58:27AM OUR CREDIT RATINGS.
9:58:29AM AGAIN, CREDIT RATINGS DRIVE A GREAT DEAL OF WHAT WE'RE ABLE
9:58:32AM TO BORROW.
9:58:33AM AGAIN, THE REPAYMENT OF EXISTING DEBT AND ISSUANCE OF
9:58:37AM ADDITIONAL DEBT.
9:58:38AM 148 MILLION GIVES US A LEGAL DEBT ISSUANCE CAPACITY OF
9:58:44AM NON-AD VALOREM FUNDING OF ABOUT $1.5 BILLION.
9:58:48AM WE DON'T ANTICIPATE EVER RECOMMENDING NEAR THAT, BUT WE
9:58:52AM COULD.
9:58:53AM FINAL NOTE AT THE BOTTOM, IF SOMEONE ANTICIPATED ISSUING A
9:58:58AM MUCH DEBT, IT WOULD AFFECT THE CITY'S CREDIT RATING.
9:59:02AM THERE IS A TIPPING POINT.
9:59:05AM AND HERE IS OUR NON-AD VALOREM DEBT PROGRAM THROUGH FISCAL
9:59:11AM YEAR '29.
9:59:14AM A VERY DETAILED, ITEMIZED LIST OF WHAT WE INTEND TO DO WHEN
9:59:18AM WE INTEND TO DO IT FROM A FINANCING PERSPECTIVE.
9:59:21AM YOU SEE THE FIRE STATION IS AT THE TOP.
9:59:23AM WE HAVE THAT YELLOW BOX AROUND THOSE PROJECTS TO INDICATE
9:59:30AM POTENTIALLY WHAT KIND OF BONDING RELIEF PASSING OF THE
9:59:36AM COMMUNITY INVESTMENT TAX COULD PROVIDE.
9:59:38AM YES, THE CIT EXACTLY.
9:59:40AM THANK YOU.
9:59:41AM ALSO AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS THE CIT.
9:59:44AM AS YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THE COUNTY COMMISSION APPROVED GOING
9:59:47AM FORWARD YESTERDAY.
9:59:50AM WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL NOVEMBER.
9:59:52AM IF IT IS SUCCESSFUL, WE WON'T RECEIVE THE FUNDING UNTIL THE
9:59:55AM OUT YEAR 2026.
9:59:56AM BUT WE DO WANT TO KEEP IN MIND IT HAS BEEN ASKED BY COUNCIL
10:00:00AM MEMBERS IN BRIEFINGS AND, OF COURSE, WE SURFACED IT
10:00:02AM OURSELVES, SPEAKING OF A DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT, HOW CAN WE
10:00:06AM LEVERAGE THAT FUNDING OR USE THAT FUNDING TO RELIEVE SOME OF
10:00:09AM OUR DEBT OR SOME OF OUR BONDING REQUIREMENTS.
10:00:12AM THE CONVENTION CENTER, HANNA AVENUE MOBILITY.
10:00:17AM THIS IS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION AROUND HANNA AVENUE.
10:00:21AM WE STILL HAVE THE FINAL DEBT COMPONENT FOR THE HANNA AVENUE
10:00:24AM CITY CENTER.
10:00:25AM TPD HEADQUARTERS.
10:00:28AM WE DO NEED TO DO SOME WORK THERE.
10:00:30AM THE FIRE TRAINING SIMULATOR AND SKILLS TOWER AND, OF COURSE,
10:00:33AM THE EAST TAMPA RECREATION CENTER AT FAIR OAKS.
10:00:37AM THAT IS JUST THE FIRST PAGE.
10:00:38AM HERE IS THE SECOND PAGE OF ANTICIPATED NON-AD VALOREM DEBT.
10:00:45AM THE ANNEX BUILDING FOR TPD, 40th STREET, PUBLIC SAFETY
10:00:50AM TRAINING FACILITY, HOUSING PROGRAM PROPERTY ACQUISITION.
10:00:55AM SULPHUR SPRINGS POOL THAT I MENTIONED.
10:00:57AM WE HAVE ANOTHER 300,000 NONFINANCING TO GET TO THAT NEARLY
10:01:00AM $2 MILLION.
10:01:01AM GUIDA HOUSE RENOVATIONS AND K-BAR RANCH PARK, WE HAVE
10:01:07AM OUTLINED THOSE IN GREEN TO AGAIN SURFACE AND KEEP IN MIND
10:01:12AM PRETTY BIG TICKET PROJECTS.
10:01:14AM NOW, OF COURSE, WHEN AND IF THE CIT IS APPROVED, THERE ARE
10:01:17AM ANY NUMBER OF WAYS THAT WE CAN GO, BUT WE DO WANT TO
10:01:20AM HIGHLIGHT SOME PROJECTS THAT COULD BE RELIEVED FROM A
10:01:23AM FINANCING PERSPECTIVE BY THE CIT.
10:01:26AM THE WEST RIVER WALK, WHICH, AGAIN, COUNCIL WILL SEE A LITTLE
10:01:30AM LATER ON IN THIS MEETING.
10:01:34AM AND WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED IN THAT BLACK SQUARE ALL OF THE
10:01:38AM GRANT MATCHES, ALTHOUGH WE ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN ORDER TO
10:01:42AM GET MONEY, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY, AND WE ARE
10:01:45AM GOING TO FINANCE OR WE INTEND TO FINANCE SOME OF THOSE GRANT
10:01:49AM MATCHES.
10:01:49AM WRAPPING IT UP FROM A CAPACITY PERSPECTIVE, YOU SEE IN GREEN
10:01:56AM WHAT WE COULD BORROW FROM A LEGAL BONDING CAPACITY
10:02:00AM PERSPECTIVE AND WHAT WE ANTICIPATE BORROWING IN BLUE.
10:02:04AM THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY CONSERVATIVE GRAPH BECAUSE YOU SEE
10:02:08AM WE LEAVE THE BONDING CAPACITY CONSISTENT AT 1.5 BILLION.
10:02:13AM I BELIEVE JUST SIX MONTHS AGO WE SHARED WITH YOU A BONDING
10:02:16AM CAPACITY OF 1.3 BILLION.
10:02:19AM IN HALF A YEAR, THINGS CHANGED.
10:02:21AM OUR BONDING CAPACITY HAS GOTTEN BETTER.
10:02:24AM ABSENT A BLACK SWAN EVENT, I ANTICIPATE THAT OUR BONDING
10:02:27AM CAPACITY WILL CONTINUE TO GET BETTER.
10:02:28AM BUT THIS WILL WORK FOR NOW, I THINK.
10:02:30AM 1.5 BILLION, AGAIN, WELL BELOW THAT.
10:02:34AM I DO WANT TO POINT OUT SOME CREDIT RATING VULNERABILITIES
10:02:40AM BECAUSE WE DO LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD.
10:02:42AM THESE ARE QUOTES FROM ALL THREE OF THE CREDIT RATING
10:02:46AM AGENCIES.
10:02:47AM WE'VE ASKED THEM AND WE DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK THEM, THEY ARE
10:02:49AM HAPPY TO TELL US, HEY, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN OR WHAT COULD
10:02:52AM HAPPEN THAT WOULD LEAD TO YOU DOWN-GRADE OUR CREDIT RATING.
10:02:56AM YOU SEE THAT HERE.
10:02:56AM A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN DEBT.
10:02:58AM WHAT WE PLAN, WE DO NOT THINK BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM THEM
10:03:02AM AND OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS WILL BE DEFINED AS A SIGNIFICANT
10:03:07AM INCREASE IN DEBT.
10:03:07AM A MATERIAL DECLINE IN FUND BALANCE.
10:03:10AM AGAIN, THANK YOU COUNCIL AND THANK YOU MAYOR FOR STICKING TO
10:03:13AM THAT FUND BALANCE LEVEL.
10:03:15AM S&P YOU SEE CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF STRUCTURAL IMBALANCE.
10:03:19AM WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT.
10:03:20AM WE DON'T INTEND TO HAVE THAT.
10:03:21AM LEADING TO MATERIAL -- DETERIORATION OF BUDGET PERFORMANCE
10:03:28AM AND AVAILABLE RESERVES.
10:03:29AM FITCH SAYS, HEY, A SUSTAINED WEAKENING OF PLEDGED RESERVES
10:03:34AM OR UNEXPECTED LEVERAGING.
10:03:36AM WE ARE LEVERAGING, BUT IT'S WITHIN THE BOUNDS, AND IT'S NOT
10:03:39AM UNEXPECTED.
10:03:40AM WE ABSOLUTELY EXPECT IT.
10:03:42AM AGAIN, A LITTLE BIT WONKISH, BUT WE WANT TO REITERATE TO
10:03:47AM COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC THAT WE DO NOT THINK ANYTHING THAT WE
10:03:50AM PLANNED IS GOING TO ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR CREDIT RATING.
10:03:54AM COUNCIL HAS SEEN A VERSION OF THIS CHART BEFORE.
10:03:57AM WE HAVE UPDATED IT FOR FISCAL YEAR '24.
10:04:01AM I WOULD SUGGEST CONCENTRATING PERHAPS ON THE PURPLE LINE.
10:04:05AM THE PURPLE LINE REPRESENTS NEARLY QUARTER-CENTURY HISTORY OF
10:04:10AM WHAT OUR DEBT HAS BEEN COMPARED TO OUR BUDGET.
10:04:15AM YOU SEE CONTINUING DECLINE UNTIL AROUND 2015 WHERE IT PRETTY
10:04:20AM MUCH LEVELED OUT.
10:04:21AM AT THE SAME TIME, OF COURSE, OUR BUDGET HAS EXPANDED
10:04:26AM DRAMATICALLY, FROM LESS THAN HALF A BILLION IN 2000 TO
10:04:29AM NEARLY 2 BILLION 25 YEARS LATER.
10:04:34AM OUR PRINCIPAL OUTSTANDING DEBT SERVICE, THIS IS WHAT WE'VE
10:04:40AM GOT RIGHT NOW.
10:04:41AM I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, IT CONTINUES TO BE A VERY NICE DEBT
10:04:45AM PICTURE, A GRADUAL DECLINING.
10:04:47AM THIS IS WHAT WE'VE GOT RIGHT NOW.
10:04:49AM NO SURPRISES.
10:04:49AM NO BALLOON PAYMENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
10:04:52AM MOVING TO OUR DEBT SERVICE BY BOND YEAR, WE DO HAVE A
10:04:59AM BALLOON PAYMENT, BUT I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT.
10:05:02AM IN 2029 -- OH, I WAS REMISS IN NOT AT LEAST EMPHASIZING THAT
10:05:07AM THE GREEN ARE OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND THE BLUE IS OUR
10:05:11AM GOVERNMENTAL.
10:05:13AM AGAIN, A NICE SMOOTH DECLINING DEBT PICTURE WITH THE
10:05:18AM EXCEPTION OF THAT 2029.
10:05:20AM WHAT IS THAT?
10:05:21AM YOU SEE THE NOTE THERE, THAT IS THE BALLOON PAYMENT FOR THE
10:05:24AM BANK NOTE WE JUST APPROVED FOR SOLID WASTE AND THE WASTE TO
10:05:27AM ENERGY PLANT.
10:05:28AM AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO GET RID OF THE BALLOON PAYMENT
10:05:32AM BECAUSE WE'LL ROLL IT UP INTO A 30-YEAR BOND.
10:05:35AM WHEN WE FINALIZE THE DEBT ISSUANCE FOR THE RELOCATION OF
10:05:38AM SOLID WASTE.
10:05:39AM WHAT WILL THAT DO?
10:05:40AM THAT WILL MAKE IT NICE AND SMOOTH AGAIN.
10:05:43AM AGAIN, FULL TRANSPARENCY, WE DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT YOU
10:05:46AM GOT A BIG LIFT IN 2029, BUT WE HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT.
10:05:49AM OUR NON-AD VALOREM PRO FORMA DEBT SERVICE FOR FISCAL YEAR
10:06:00AM 25, WE ANTICIPATE BRINGING THIS TO COUNCIL IN THE FIRST OR
10:06:04AM SECOND QUARTER YOU SEE THERE.
10:06:07AM ABOUT 150 ODD MILLION DOLLARS INTEREST.
10:06:11AM GOING TO BE ABOUT THAT.
10:06:12AM INTEREST RATES HISTORICALLY, AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS
10:06:16AM BEFORE.
10:06:16AM IF YOU LOOK BACK DECADES AND DECADES, NOT TOO BAD.
10:06:19AM RECENTLY, PRETTY HIGH.
10:06:20AM YOU SEE THAT HERE, ANNUAL BOND PAYMENTS OF OVER $10 MILLION.
10:06:27AM WE THINK THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF 4.4%.
10:06:30AM I WON'T BOTHER GOING DOWN A RABBIT HOLE OF POTENTIAL FEDERAL
10:06:35AM RESERVE DECISIONS IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE ON RATES, BUT WE
10:06:38AM THINK THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE.
10:06:41AM MOVING INTO OUR WATER AND WASTEWATER, AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN
10:06:47AM CONCENTRATING MOSTLY ON OUR GENERAL FUND, NON-AD VALOREM.
10:06:51AM THIS IS OUR WATER AND WASTEWATER.
10:06:53AM WE ANTICIPATE COMING TO COUNCIL IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO FOR
10:06:57AM OVER $300 MILLION IN PROCEEDS.
10:07:00AM AGAIN, PART OF THE PIPES PROGRAM, INTEREST COSTS FOR REASONS
10:07:07AM I WON'T GET INTO RIGHT NOW ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE HIGH
10:07:11AM COMPARED TO THE PROCEEDS, ALTHOUGH, AGAIN, WE THINK IT'S
10:07:15AM CONSERVATIVE.
10:07:15AM THE REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION HAS ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED.
10:07:19AM I SHOULD STATE ON THE WATER AND WASTEWATER DEBT AND THE NEXT
10:07:25AM SLIDE, SOLID WASTE, WE'RE GOING TO COME IN AGAIN WITH A VERY
10:07:31AM DETAILED, SIGNIFICANT PRESENTATION, AGAIN, REGARDING
10:07:35AM CAPACITY, REGARDING WHAT WE ANTICIPATE DOING AND HOW THAT
10:07:38AM WILL AFFECT US.
10:07:39AM AND FOR SOLID WASTE, OF COURSE, ABOUT 130 MILLION WE
10:07:45AM ANTICIPATE FOR RELOCATION OF THE HEADQUARTERS FROM SPRUCE
10:07:48AM STREET.
10:07:49AM AGAIN, WE'LL DO A SHORT-TERM ISSUANCE AND WRAP THIS ONE UP
10:07:53AM WITH THE OTHER ONE FOR 30-YEAR BOND.
10:07:57AM THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
10:08:02AM SPEAKING OF INDULGENCES, THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME.
10:08:07AM I KNOW IT WAS DETAILED, BUT A LOT OF DISCUSSION HAS OCCURRED
10:08:10AM REGARDING BONDING AND FINANCING.
10:08:12AM I ANTICIPATE A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION WILL CONTINUE.
10:08:14AM WE'RE HAPPY TO ENGAGE IN THAT.
10:08:16AM BUT TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
10:08:19AM EVERYBODY'S EYES ARE WIDE OPEN AND ALL THE INFORMATION IS
10:08:22AM AVAILABLE.
10:08:22AM THE NEXT STEPS, OUR C.I.P. WORKSHOP AUGUST 5.
10:08:26AM AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE THAT PRODUCT TO YOU.
10:08:28AM OPERATING WORKSHOP AUGUST 19.
10:08:32AM WE WOULD ASK CITY COUNCIL TO REQUEST THE FOLLOWING MOTIONS:
10:08:36AM FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 3 AND THE SECOND PUBLIC
10:08:39AM HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 17.
10:08:41AM MR. MIRANDA OR COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT
10:08:44AM DETAILED INFORMATION TO YOU.
10:08:45AM HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT'S COMING UP.
10:08:49AM AGAIN, WE HAVE TO WORK AROUND THE SCHOOL BOARD AND COUNTY
10:08:53AM COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING DATES.
10:08:54AM WE'RE THIRD IN LINE AND THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE LANDED.
10:08:57AM THE BUDGET CAN BE FOUND AT THIS LINK.
10:09:05AM FROM THERE, YOU CAN GO INTO OPEN GOV, AS YOU KNOW, BUT FOR
10:09:08AM THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT, ANY NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TOOLS ARE
10:09:12AM AVAILABLE TO EVERYBODY WHO CAN ACCESS THAT LINK.
10:09:15AM WE HAVE HARD COPY BUDGETS COMING.
10:09:20AM WE'VE GOT THEM COMING RIGHT NOW.
10:09:22AM YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
10:09:24AM AGAIN, APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK.
10:09:27AM WE WANT YOU TO HAVE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU THINK IS
10:09:31AM NECESSARY FOR YOUR COMFORT IN MAKING THESE DECISIONS.
10:09:48AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THAT CONCLUDES YOUR PRESENTATION?
10:09:52AM >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, ONE EXCEPTION.
10:09:53AM I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T THANK A NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
10:09:56AM THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
10:09:56AM I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T THANK YOUR BUDGET ANALYSIS.
10:10:00AM THANK YOU, MS. KOPESKY.
10:10:03AM I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT, OUR DISCUSSIONS AND YOUR EFFORTS
10:10:05AM AND THE CITIZENS BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
10:10:08AM THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE THEIR PRESENTATION TO YOU.
10:10:10AM THEY HAVE MET EXTENSIVELY AND FREQUENTLY.
10:10:13AM SO APPRECIATE THEIR EFFORTS ALSO.
10:10:16AM AS ALWAYS, WE THINK THIS IS A CAREFULLY CRAFTED AND BALANCED
10:10:21AM BUDGET.
10:10:22AM THERE ARE ANY NUMBER OF INTERRELATED ITEMS IN HERE, SO
10:10:25AM MAKING CHANGES IN ONE AREA IS LIKELY TO AFFECT A CHANGE IN
10:10:29AM ANOTHER AREA, AS COUNCIL KNOWS.
10:10:33AM THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME, AGAIN, LETTING ME GET INTO A
10:10:36AM LITTLE MORE DETAIL THAN IS TYPICAL.
10:10:38AM THANK YOU.
10:10:39AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

10:27:52AM CHIEF BERCAW, WANT TO KICK IT OFF?
10:27:55AM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
10:27:57AM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR.
10:27:59AM OUR GREAT PLEASURE HERE TODAY TO DO OUR TAMPA POLICE OFFICER
10:28:04AM OF THE MONTH FOR DETECTIVE AMANDA BARANOWSKI.
10:28:10AM WE DO THIS TO REFLECT THE VALUES OF THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE,
10:28:14AM CITY OF TAMPA THAT SUPPORTS OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND
10:28:16AM INCLUDES OUR POLICE OFFICERS AND OUR COPS.
10:28:18AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL HONOREE AND THIS WONDERFUL
10:28:22AM WOMAN I JUST SPOKE WITH, WE HAVE TAMPA CHIEF OF POLICE, DR.
10:28:28AM BERCAW.
10:28:32AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:28:33AM I'M HONORED TO PRESENT DETECTIVE AMANDA BARANOWSKI, OUR
10:28:38AM OFFICER OF THE MONTH FOR JULY 2024.
10:28:39AM WHEN YOU HEAR THIS STORY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE GLAD SHE'S
10:28:43AM WORKING FOR THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU
10:28:45AM HAVE KIDS OR GRANDKIDS.
10:28:48AM THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT
10:28:50AM DETECTIVE AMANDA BARANOWSKI AS OFFICER OF THE MONTH.
10:28:53AM HER DEDICATION AND EXCEPTIONAL INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS WERE
10:28:58AM INSTRUMENTAL IN BRINGING A DANGEROUS PREDATOR TO JUSTICE.
10:29:02AM IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, SHE WAS ASSIGNED A COMPLEX CASE
10:29:05AM INVOLVING THE CYBERBULLYING OF A JUVENILE.
10:29:08AM A SEXUALLY EXPLICIT VIDEO FEATURING TWO MINORS HAD BEEN
10:29:14AM CIRCULATED ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
10:29:15AM DETECTIVE BARANOWSKI IDENTIFIED THE MALE JUVENILE IN THE
10:29:19AM VIDEO WHO INFORMED HER THAT HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND, A
10:29:22AM HOMESCHOOLED STUDENT THAT HE MET ONLINE, HAD ACCESSED AND
10:29:25AM SHARED A VIDEO WITHOUT HIS CONSENT.
10:29:28AM DETECTIVE BARANOWSKI INVESTIGATED AND REVEALED NO RECORD OF
10:29:33AM THIS FEMALE JUVENILE.
10:29:35AM SHE USED VARIOUS RESOURCES, INCLUDING DATABASES, EMPLOYMENT
10:29:39AM RECORDS, AND WITNESS INTERVIEWS IN HER COMPREHENSIVE AND
10:29:43AM METICULOUS INVESTIGATION.
10:29:44AM SHE WAS ABLE TO UNRAVEL A WEB OF DECEIT.
10:29:50AM HER RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH REVEALED A SHOCKING
10:29:54AM REALITY THAT THE EX-GIRLFRIEND WAS NOT A JUVENILE BUT A
10:29:56AM 22-YEAR-OLD ADULT WHO HAD METICULOUSLY CRAFTED AN ONLINE
10:30:01AM PERSONA AS A TEENAGER.
10:30:02AM ARMED WITH THIS NEW INFORMATION, DETECTIVE BARANOWSKI
10:30:05AM IDENTIFIED 25 ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL VICTIMS.
10:30:08AM EACH A JUVENILE WHO BELIEVED THAT THEY WERE INTERACTING WITH
10:30:14AM ANOTHER ONLINE TEEN.
10:30:16AM WORKING TIRELESSLY, SHE WAS ABLE TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY EACH
10:30:20AM VICTIM AND SECURE PERMISSION FROM THEIR PARENTS TO SPEAK
10:30:23AM WITH THEM.
10:30:24AM THIS COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION RESULTED IN 11 FELONY
10:30:28AM CHARGES AGAINST THE SUSPECT WHO IS CURRENTLY IN JAIL.
10:30:32AM DETECTIVE BARANOWSKI'S COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING CHILDREN
10:30:35AM SERVES AS A POWERFUL REMINDER OF THE DANGERS LURKING ONLINE.
10:30:39AM THIS CASE HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF OPEN COMMUNICATION
10:30:43AM BETWEEN PARENTS AND GUARDIANS AND THEIR CHILDREN REGARDING
10:30:47AM INTERNET SAFETY, ONLINE ACTIVITY, AND BEING AWARE OF
10:30:51AM POTENTIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.
10:30:54AM THANKS TO DETECTIVE BARANOWSKI'S EXCEPTIONAL WORK, A
10:30:58AM PREDATOR HAS BEEN STOPPED AND CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE
10:31:01AM SAFER.
10:31:02AM HER DEDICATION IS A SHINING EXAMPLE OF THE TAMPA POLICE
10:31:05AM DEPARTMENT'S UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING THE
10:31:08AM WELL-BEING OF ALL RESIDENTS.
10:31:09AM FOR THAT, SHE IS AWARDED OUR OFFICER OF THE MONTH.
10:31:12AM CONGRATULATIONS.
10:31:13AM [ APPLAUSE ]
10:31:23AM >>LUIS VIERA: BEFORE WE FORMALLY HONOR THIS AMAZING

10:31:35AM WE'LL START WITH MR. MICHELINI.
10:31:37AM >> I'M NOT SURE WHO IS LEFT.
10:31:39AM I APOLOGIZE TO YOU.

10:35:30AM WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO DO ON A DAILY
10:35:33AM BASIS ALONG WITH THE OTHER THOUSAND OR SO POLICE OFFICERS.
10:35:35AM IT'S NOT EASY TO THINK HOW SOMEBODY ELSE THINKS AND CATCH
10:35:38AM THEM.
10:35:39AM YOU HAVE TO OUTTHINK THEM ON WHAT THEY ARE DOING, WHAT YOU
10:35:41AM HAVE DONE WHEN JUST ALL THE WAY -- ABOUT HOW YOU FOUND THEM,
10:35:45AM LOOK FOR THEM, SEARCH FOR THEM AND WHAT YOU DID IN MAKING
10:35:48AM THE ARREST.
10:35:49AM FIRST NOTIFIED OF THIS WHEN WATCHING ONE OF THE TV STATIONS
10:35:52AM AND SAW THAT.
10:35:53AM THAT PERSON DID LOOK LIKE A TEENAGER, THE CAMERA SHOT I SAW.
10:35:57AM I WANT TO THANK YOU PERSONALLY.
10:35:59AM EVERY CITIZEN IN THE CITY OF TAMPA FOR YOUR LOYALTY, YOUR
10:36:03AM COMMITMENT TO "I WILL CATCH THAT PERSON NO MATTER WHAT."

10:36:20AM AT THIS AND SEEING HOW THIS AFFECTS KIDS' LIVES AND
10:36:26AM FAMILIES' LIVES.
10:36:27AM AS THE PARENT OF THREE KIDS, I'M TERRIFIED ABOUT THIS EVERY
10:36:30AM DAY.
10:36:30AM WE ALL HAVE TO HAVE LONG CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR KIDS TO WARN
10:36:33AM THEM.
10:36:34AM BUT IT'S JUST A CONSTANT BARRAGE OF ATTACKS OF PEOPLE,
10:36:42AM PHISHING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM IN SOME WAY.
10:36:44AM APPRECIATE YOU ON THIS END CATCHING THEM.
10:36:46AM I WISH WE COULD CALL ON YOU A HUNDRED TIMES TO CATCH MORE OF
10:36:49AM THEM.
10:36:50AM WE REALLY, REALLY NEED THIS.
10:36:52AM THIS IS THE HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH OF OUR KIDS IS
10:36:54AM INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.
10:36:55AM THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING.
10:36:58AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WANT TO THANK YOUR WIFE, ONE, AND THE
10:37:01AM FAMILY.

10:37:07AM CITY, THERE ARE HUSBANDS, WIVES, KIDS AT HOME THAT SEND YOU
10:37:11AM GUYS OUT THE DOOR EVERY DAY AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

10:38:08AM OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK DURING THAT ITEM?
10:38:10AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT IS A VERY GOOD POINT, MR. CHAIRMAN.

10:41:00AM THAT TAKES US TO IN-PERSON PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:41:03AM WE HAVE PAULA FLORES.
10:41:05AM PLEASE COME ON UP.
10:41:07AM FOLLOWED BY CHRISTINA COSTA.
10:41:14AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:41:15AM MY NAME IS PAULA FLORES.
10:41:17AM I AM A BOARD MEMBER OF WALK BIKE TAMPA.
10:41:19AM OUR ADDRESS IS PO BOX 173327 TAMPA, FLORIDA.
10:41:23AM WALK BIKE TAMPA IS A NONPROFIT CITIZEN BASED ADVOCACY GROUP
10:41:29AM FOCUSED ON PROMOTING SAFE CONNECTED ROUTES FOR PEOPLE
10:41:31AM WALKING, RIDING, AND ROLLING WITHIN OUR CITY.
10:41:35AM THE WALK BIKE TAMPA BOARD IS UNANIMOUS IN OUR SUPPORT FOR
10:41:38AM THE WEST RIVER DISTRICT MULTIMODAL NETWORK AND SAFETY
10:41:41AM IMPROVEMENTS.
10:41:42AM IN ADDITION TO THE MULTIMODAL PATH ALONG THE RIVER, THE
10:41:46AM PROJECT INCLUDES COMPLETELY STREET ENHANCEMENTS IN THE
10:41:49AM SURROUNDING STREET SEGMENTS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO
10:41:52AM THE MULTIMODAL CONNECTIONS AS WELL AS PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
10:41:55AM SAFE TRANSPORTATION CHOICES.
10:41:57AM THE MULTIMODAL PATH WILL TRIED TO IMPROVED ACCESS TO PARKS,
10:42:01AM UT, TAMPA PREP, BLAKE HIGH SCHOOL, STUART MIDDLE SCHOOL AND
10:42:05AM REC CENTERS IN THE AREA.
10:42:07AM INVESTMENT IN A PROJECT OF THIS CALIBER IN OUR COMMUNITY IS
10:42:11AM CRITICAL TO CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THESE DESTINATIONS AND
10:42:14AM POINTS BEYOND.
10:42:15AM THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN PLANNING FOR YEARS AND IN RECEIVING
10:42:19AM THE U.S. D.O.T. GRANT OF 24 MILLION WILL PROPEL THIS PROJECT
10:42:23AM NOT JUST FROM A VISION TO AN ACTUAL, VITAL LINK IN OUR
10:42:27AM TRANSPORTATION COMMUNITY AND NETWORK.
10:42:29AM THIS PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES A LOT OF SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS TO
10:42:33AM ADDRESS THE HIGH NUMBER OF PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE CRASHES IN
10:42:36AM THE AREA.
10:42:37AM THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S VISION
10:42:40AM ZERO POLICY AND THE ACTION PLAN, AND IT IS THE CITY'S
10:42:43AM ETHICAL OBLIGATION TO ADDRESS THESE CRASHES.
10:42:45AM SO IN ADDITION TO PROJECTS LIKE THE RIVERWALK, NOT ONLY DO
10:42:50AM THEY SUPPORT WALKING, BIKING AND BEING ACTIVE, BUT THEY ALSO
10:42:53AM COST ABOUT 75% LESS TO BUILD PER MILE COMPARED TO A TYPICAL
10:42:59AM CAR-FOCUSED TRANSPORTATION PROJECT.
10:43:01AM BUT IT ALSO CAN BRING A BROAD RANGE OF ECONOMIC BENEFITS
10:43:04AM THAT OFTEN GO UNMEASURED.
10:43:07AM BENEFITS SUCH AS INCREASED RETAIL AND FOOD SALES.
10:43:10AM NEW JOBS, NEW BUSINESSES, INCREASED PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND
10:43:14AM TOURISM REVENUE, INCREASED PROPERTY AND SALES TAX REVENUE.
10:43:18AM AND SOME PEOPLE DON'T RECOGNIZE THAT -- CRASHES AND HEALTH
10:43:25AM CARE COSTS RESULTING FROM SAFER STREETS, CLEANER AIR AND
10:43:28AM MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
10:43:30AM MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE PROJECT WILL CREATE MORE AFFORDABLE,
10:43:34AM SUSTAINABLE, AND SAFE TRANSPORTATION CHOICES.
10:43:36AM THIS PROJECT IS A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY, NOT
10:43:41AM JUST A COST PROJECT.
10:43:43AM WALK BIKE TAMPA SUPPORTS THIS PROJECT, AND WE ASK THAT YOU
10:43:46AM DO TOO.
10:43:47AM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
10:43:47AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:43:48AM NEXT UP, WE HAVE CHRISTINA COSTA FOLLOWED BY VALERIE
10:43:52AM BULLOCK.
10:43:57AM >> GOOD MORNING, TAMPA CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MR.
10:43:59AM CHAIRMAN.
10:44:00AM MY NAME IS CHRISTINE ACOSTA.
10:44:02AM I'M A LOCAL TAMPA RESIDENT, 2402 WEST MORRISON AVENUE, AND
10:44:07AM I'M ALSO A BUSINESS OWNER, ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ADVOCATE
10:44:11AM AND A PERSONAL BICYCLE COMMUTER.
10:44:14AM I'M HERE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO ADVANCE THE WEST RIVER WALK
10:44:17AM PROJECT, ITEM NUMBER 115, ON TODAY'S AGENDA.
10:44:21AM FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ON
10:44:24AM ONE OF THE TEAMS THAT CREATED A PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP THE ROME
10:44:28AM YARD.
10:44:28AM WHILE MY TEAM DID NOT WIN, THE MOBILITY PLAN THAT I WROTE
10:44:34AM FOR THAT AREA SCORED 99 OUT OF 100 POSSIBLE POINTS.
10:44:40AM AND THAT WAS BECAUSE ITS FOCUS WAS ON THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE
10:44:44AM AND COMMERCE, ESPECIALLY GOODS AND SERVICES THAT ARE
10:44:48AM GENERATED BY OUR SMALL LOCAL BUSINESSES.
10:44:51AM CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AND THE BACKBONE OF OUR ECONOMY.
10:44:55AM SO THE MOBILITY PLAN HAD AT ITS CORE, VERY MULTIDIMENSIONAL,
10:45:01AM AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, HAD AT ITS CORE THE WEST RIVER WALK.
10:45:06AM SO THIS IS A CRITICAL LINK IN OUR EMERGING NETWORK OF SAFE
10:45:13AM AND COMFORTABLE FACILITIES FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ALL
10:45:17AM ABILITIES TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE LIFE AND
10:45:22AM CHOOSE MOBILITY OPTIONS THAT ENABLE THEIR HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
10:45:25AM TO EITHER BE CAR-FREE OR CAR-LIGHT.
10:45:29AM FACILITIES OF THIS TYPE HAVE BEEN STUDIED BY THE URBAN LAND
10:45:31AM INSTITUTE AND FOUND TO DELIVER ENORMOUS RETURN ON
10:45:36AM INVESTMENTS FOR THE BUDGET FOR WHICH YOU ASSUME
10:45:43AM RESPONSIBILITY.
10:45:43AM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND RESULTING TAX GENERATION ARE
10:45:48AM FANTASTIC.
10:45:49AM WE NEED ONLY CONSIDER THE ICONIC FACILITIES.
10:45:52AM THERE ARE TOO MANY TO LIST, BUT WE HAVE OUR PRESENT
10:45:55AM RIVERWALK WHICH SHINES EVERY TIME LIGHT IS CAST ON IT.
10:46:00AM THE PINELLAS TRAIL, THE ATLANTA BELTLINE, THE NEW YORK HIGH
10:46:04AM LINE.
10:46:04AM INDIANAPOLIS CULTURE TRAIL AND MANY OTHERS.
10:46:08AM ONE THAT IS NOT AS GOOD AS WHAT WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
10:46:13AM BUILD HERE, I WENT TO A CONFERENCE IN MIAMI, THE NATIONAL
10:46:16AM ASSOCIATION OF CITY TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS, NACTO, AND
10:46:22AM WHILE IN MIAMI I HAD A TOUR OF THEIR CURRENT RIVERWALK,
10:46:27AM WHICH IS BEING BUILT INCREMENTALLY AND IT'S PATCHWORK.
10:46:32AM IT STARTS AND STOPS AND STARTS AND STOPS.
10:46:35AM IT IS INCONGRUOUS AND DOES NOT SERVE THAT COMMUNITY WELL.
10:46:39AM THE MATERIALS ARE ALL DIFFERENT, AND WE JUST DON'T WANT
10:46:43AM THAT.
10:46:43AM WE HAVE A SHOT AT DOING SOMETHING MUCH, MUCH BETTER, AND I
10:46:48AM HOPE YOU'LL SUPPORT IT.
10:46:49AM THANK YOU.
10:46:49AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:46:50AM NEXT UP IS VALERIE BULLOCK FOLLOWED BY CHRISTIE LEE.
10:46:55AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:46:56AM VALERIE BULLOCK, PONCE De LEON COLLEGE HILL.
10:47:00AM I WANT TO TALK ABOUT RESOLUTION NUMBER 27, APPROVING
10:47:04AM RETURNING CITIZEN TRAINING PROGRAM BETWEEN BROWN AND THE
10:47:09AM CITY OF TAMPA.
10:47:09AM WHEN THE PROGRAM DO BECOME AVAILABLE, I WOULD LIKE FOR
10:47:14AM SOMEONE, IF IT'S POSSIBLE, AND YOU ALL COULD DO IT, JUST PUT
10:47:18AM A SENTENCE IN THERE FOR RETURNING CITIZENS LIKE IN THE
10:47:24AM NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:47:25AM BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE SIT ON OUR PORCH AND WE SEE THE
10:47:29AM RETURNING CITIZEN GOING TO ABE BROWN MINISTRIES, BUT THE
10:47:33AM PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY CAN'T GET A CHANCE TO
10:47:36AM PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM.
10:47:38AM I SPOKE TO MR. ROBERT BLOUNT ONE TIME ABOUT THAT.
10:47:43AM HE SAID BECAUSE OF THE FUNDING THAT HE GET AND EVERYBODY
10:47:48AM NEED A JOB, NOT JUST PEOPLE THE -- WHO ARE JUST GETTING OUT
10:47:52AM OF PRISON, BUT THE PEOPLE ALREADY BEEN TO PRISON AND THEY
10:47:55AM STAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, STAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 20
10:47:59AM YEARS, IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE FIRST CHOICE
10:48:03AM TO THE PROGRAM.
10:48:03AM SO WHEN YOU ALL DO THE PROGRAM, PUT SOME KIND OF LANGUAGE IN
10:48:10AM THERE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT'S IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S NOT
10:48:13AM JUST GETTING OUT OF PRISON OR SOMEBODY, A RETURNING CITIZEN,
10:48:17AM SOMEBODY WITH A CHALLENGED BACKGROUND, WHETHER THEY ARE JUST
10:48:20AM GETTING OUT OR THEY HAVE BEEN OUT TEN YEARS, THEY ALL NEED
10:48:24AM THE SAME OPPORTUNITY.
10:48:25AM THANK YOU.
10:48:26AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
10:48:27AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:48:27AM CHRISTIE LEE.
10:48:32AM I'LL COME BACK TO THAT.
10:48:37AM WE HAVE EDDIE FELICIANO.
10:48:40AM BUT THIS GENTLEMAN IS SIGNED UP FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING 104
10:48:44AM AND 105, SO YOU CAN SPEAK AT THAT TIME.
10:48:47AM WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THOSE.
10:48:48AM LORI HARRIS, THAT IS IN REGARDS TO ITEM NUMBER 3.
10:48:54AM YOU'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WHEN WE GO TO NUMBER 3,
10:48:57AM WHICH IS COMING UP RIGHT AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:48:59AM MR. BOBBY CREIGHTON.
10:49:02AM YES, SIR.
10:49:03AM AFTER BOBBY CREIGHTON, WE HAVE ROBIN LOCKETT.
10:49:06AM GOOD MORNING, SIR.
10:49:12AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:49:13AM BOBBY CREIGHTON, TAMPA, FLORIDA.
10:49:15AM I SAW THERE WAS AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA TODAY THAT WAS RELATED
10:49:19AM TO PROBLEMATIC PROPERTIES IN TAMPA'S NEIGHBORHOODS.
10:49:22AM SO I WANTED TO COME AND SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT TODAY.
10:49:24AM I WAS RAISED TO BE A HUMBLE PERSON.
10:49:27AM I DON'T REALLY LIKE TO TALK ABOUT MYSELF OR THE THINGS THAT
10:49:29AM I DO.
10:49:30AM I TRY TO LET MY ACTIONS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
10:49:33AM SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T REALLY SEE THE THINGS THAT I DO
10:49:35AM BEHIND THE SCENES.
10:49:36AM I KIND OF DO A LOT OF RESEARCH SO WANTED TO SHARE SOME OF
10:49:40AM THAT WITH YOU.
10:49:40AM I RECENTLY COMPLETED A PILOT STUDY OF VACANT PROPERTIES IN
10:49:43AM MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT INCLUDED 53 PROPERTIES.
10:49:47AM FIGHTING WITH THE ELMO TODAY A LITTLE BIT.
10:49:49AM YOU CAN SEE ALL THE PROPERTIES SAMPLED THERE ON THE LEFT
10:49:53AM SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.
10:49:54AM THAT'S JUST A SMALL PROPORTION OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VACANT
10:49:57AM PROPERTIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS, WHICH I PULLED FROM THE
10:50:00AM PROPERTY APPRAISER DATA.
10:50:01AM YOU CAN SEE THERE IS 151 WITH THAT, PLUS MY SAMPLES, QUITE A
10:50:05AM NUMBER OF VACANT PROPERTIES JUST IN THE YBOR HEIGHTS AND VM
10:50:09AM YBOR NEIGHBORHOODS.
10:50:10AM I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT WAS COMPOSED OF IN TERMS OF
10:50:16AM THE RECORDS AND INTERACTIONS WITH THE CITY.
10:50:19AM I PULLED THAT DATA.
10:50:20AM GOT THAT FROM ACCELA, FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISER WEBSITE,
10:50:26AM KIND OF CORRELATED SOME OF THAT.
10:50:27AM IF YOU PUT ALL THE RECORDS OVER TEN YEARS FROM 2014 TO 2024
10:50:32AM INTO A BUCKET AND YOU PULLED A RECORD OUT, THIS IS THE
10:50:36AM CHANCES YOU WOULD GET ONE OF THE RECORDS.
10:50:38AM 42% COMPLAINTS, ABOUT 40% CODE OR CIVIL CASES.
10:50:44AM SO OVERALL, IF YOU REACHED INTO THAT BUCKET OF RECORDS AND
10:50:46AM PULLED ONE OUT, 80% CHANCE THAT YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING
10:50:50AM DETRIMENTAL TO A NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THOSE 53 VACANT
10:50:54AM PROPERTIES.
10:50:54AM WHO OWNS THESE?
10:50:56AM ABOUT 50% ARE OWNED BY LLCs OR SINGLE OWNERS.
10:51:01AM SO THOSE RECORDS, THAT BUCKET OF RECORDS, IF YOU PULLED ONE
10:51:04AM OUT, ABOUT A 50-50 SHOT THAT THAT RECORD BELONGS TO A LLC OR
10:51:10AM A SINGLE OWNER OF A PARCEL.
10:51:11AM SO IF YOU TAKE THAT 50%, YOU CAN IMAGINE OF THE LLCs AND
10:51:17AM SINGLE OWNERS, 80% OF THOSE RECORDS ARE DETRIMENTAL FOR
10:51:21AM NEIGHBORHOODS.
10:51:22AM I WAS CURIOUS WHAT CODE ENFORCEMENT DOES ABOUT IT.
10:51:24AM HOW THEY KIND OF PATROL THIS OR IF THEY ARE STRATEGIC ABOUT
10:51:27AM THEIR APPROACH.
10:51:28AM I GOT RECORDS FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT, FROM 2020 TO 2024,
10:51:35AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
10:51:36AM YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS ARE RELATIVELY SMALL FOR THE
10:51:38AM PERCENTAGE OF PROACTIVE CASES THAT THEY RECORD.
10:51:42AM BUT THE NUMBERS ARE RELATIVELY HIGH, COMING UP TO THE END
10:51:46AM HERE, AIR PROPERTIES ARE A MAJOR PROBLEM IN TAMPA'S BLACK
10:51:50AM NEIGHBORHOODS AND DESERVE SPECIAL ATTENTION.
10:51:51AM I OVERLAID ESTATE PROPERTIES ON TO ACS DATA TO SHOW
10:51:57AM EVERYTHING IN MAGENTA IS 50% OR GREATER BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:52:00AM YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THE MAJORITY OF ESTATE PROPERTIES
10:52:04AM AND AIR PROPERTIES ARE IN BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS IN TAMPA.
10:52:06AM NEED TO BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL ABOUT HOW WE APPROACH THE
10:52:09AM PROBLEM OF VACANT SPACES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
10:52:11AM BUT IT'S SOMETHING I THINK DESERVES STRATEGIC AND SPECIAL
10:52:14AM ATTENTION.
10:52:14AM THANK YOU.
10:52:15AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:52:16AM NO BACK AND FORTH.
10:52:20AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF HE COULD LEAVE THAT
10:52:23AM INFORMATION FOR US SO WE COULD HAVE A COPY.
10:52:24AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YEAH, IF WE CAN GIVE IT TO THE ATTORNEY
10:52:26AM SO WE CAN HAVE COPIES.
10:52:28AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:52:28AM NEXT UP, WE HAVE ROBIN LOCKETT.
10:52:30AM FOLLOWED BY PASTOR WILLIAMS.
10:52:32AM NO.
10:52:33AM PASTOR FRANK WILLIAMS, SIR, AND MENTESNOT.

10:53:02AM STREET, PARADISE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH.

10:54:47AM BEHOLD, THEREFORE O LORD, GOD -- BE NOT MERCIFUL TO ANY
10:55:10AM WICKED TRANSGRESSION.

10:55:53AM I HAVE TO DO WHAT GOD TELL ME TO DO.
10:55:57AM I KNOW MEN DON'T CARE NOTHING ABOUT ME.
10:56:00AM I GOT TO TELL YOU ALL SOMETHING, I WISH YOU ALL WOULDN'T
10:56:03AM RING THAT BELL ON ME SO QUICK.
10:56:06AM POLICE KILLED MY BROTHER IN NEW YORK.

10:56:39AM YOU ALL DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SAY NOTHING HERE.
10:56:41AM BUT I THANK GOD YOU ALL HEARD ME.
10:56:43AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:56:44AM OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MENTESNOT.
10:56:47AM GOOD MORNING, SIR.
10:56:50AM >> UHURU.
10:56:52AM UHURU MEANS FREEDOM IN SWAHILI.
10:56:54AM WE SAY WE AS AFRICAN PEOPLE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THINKING ABOUT
10:56:57AM OUR FREEDOM BECAUSE FOR THE LAST 624 YEARS WE HAVE
10:57:01AM EXPERIENCED NOTHING CLOSE TO FREEDOM.
10:57:04AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:57:05AM >> MENTESNOT.
10:57:06AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
10:57:07AM >> NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE TO SAY IS CAPITALISM IS THE
10:57:13AM BIGGEST TRICK ON EARTH.
10:57:14AM IT'S BIGGER THAN RELIGION.
10:57:16AM IT'S BIGGER THAN CHRISTIANITY, BIGGER THAN JUDAISM, BIGGER
10:57:22AM THAN ISLAM.
10:57:25AM BIG THAN ALL THAT.
10:57:26AM CAPITALISM IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST TRICKS ON EARTH.
10:57:29AM BIG TRICK.
10:57:30AM HERE IN THE HEART OF CITY GOVERNMENT, WE NEVER TALK ABOUT
10:57:32AM CAPITALISM.
10:57:32AM NEVER TALK ABOUT CAPITALISM.
10:57:34AM NEVER TALK ABOUT SOCIALISM.
10:57:36AM NEVER TALK ABOUT COMMUNISM.
10:57:37AM NEVER TALK ABOUT THE THINGS -- NEVER TALK ABOUT BLACK POWER.
10:57:41AM WE ARE HERE TODAY, WE TALK ABOUT $2 BILLION BUDGET, BUT
10:57:45AM NOBODY TALKS ABOUT, SINCE PERRY HARVEY BEEN IN THAT SEAT,
10:57:48AM NOBODY TALKS ABOUT ANY PERCENTAGE OF THAT BUDGET COMING TO
10:57:54AM AFRICAN PEOPLE.
10:57:55AM NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT THAT.
10:57:58AM AND THAT'S PART OF CAPITALISM IN THE FORM OF 85 PEOPLE
10:58:03AM POSSESS MORE WEALTH THAN 4.5 BILLION PEOPLE ON THE PLANET
10:58:07AM EARTH.
10:58:08AM THIS CITY COUNCIL AND WHITE PEOPLE HAVE TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT
10:58:11AM THE WAY THEY DEAL WITH ISSUES.
10:58:14AM AFRICAN PEOPLE HAVE TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT THE WAY WE DEAL
10:58:17AM WITH ISSUES.
10:58:18AM AND THE REASON THAT AFRICAN PEOPLE CAN'T GET SERIOUS ABOUT
10:58:21AM THE WAY WE DEAL WITH ISSUES IS BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
10:58:23AM UNDERDEVELOPED AND DISPOSSESSED.
10:58:26AM DE-EDUCATED, MISEDUCATED, THE AVERAGE AFRICAN PERSON YOU
10:58:30AM TALK TO HAVE ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NO SENSE.
10:58:37AM COULDN'T CARRY ON A DECENT CONVERSATION WITH YOU.
10:58:39AM WHY IS THAT?
10:58:40AM THE AVERAGE AFRICAN PERSON YOU TALK TO IS IGNORANT.
10:58:44AM IGNORANT.
10:58:46AM TOTALLY IGNORANT.
10:58:47AM WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF AFRICANS RIGHT NOW IN FRANCE PLAYING
10:58:51AM SPORTS AND ALL OF AFRICA IS SUFFERING.
10:58:55AM SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT.
10:58:57AM YOU HAVE AFRICANS SINGING AND DANCING AND ALL OF AFRICA IS
10:59:01AM SUFFERING.
10:59:02AM AFRICANS INTERNATIONALLY ARE SUFFERING.
10:59:10AM SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY WRONG THE PICTURE.
10:59:13AM SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE IS CITY COUNCIL CAN COME
10:59:15AM WITH A $2 BILLION BUDGET AND IF OUR REPRESENTATIVE FOR
10:59:19AM DISTRICT 5 CAN'T SAY WHERE 26 OR 21 PERCENT OF THAT BUDGET
10:59:24AM SHOULD GO TO AFRICAN PEOPLE.
10:59:26AM SOMETHING INTRINSICALLY WRONG IN THAT.
10:59:30AM SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT.
10:59:32AM WHEN YOU GO THROUGHOUT THE BLACK COMMUNITY, WHAT USED TO BE
10:59:35AM BLACK COMMUNITIES, CARVER CITY, AND OTHER PLACES, LINCOLN
10:59:39AM GARDENS, GRANT PARK, ALL THROUGHOUT EAST TAMPA, IT LOOKS
10:59:46AM HORRIBLE.
10:59:47AM AND INTENTIONALLY LETTING IT GO DOWN.
10:59:51AM ALL THAT HAVE TO CHANGE.
10:59:54AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
10:59:55AM ALL RIGHT.
10:59:57AM THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:59:59AM THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE INDIVIDUALS HERE FOR ITEM NUMBER
11:00:02AM 3.
11:00:03AM THEY ARE GOING TO BE CALLED UPON.
11:00:04AM SO WE ARE GOING TO GO TO ITEM NUMBER 3, AND THEN WE'LL TAKE
11:00:13AM ITEM NUMBER 5.

11:03:01AM SOME OF OUR PROJECTS RIGHT NOW ARE IN CHANNELSIDE, ALONG THE

11:03:07AM WE ARE ALL ABOUT THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE AND POURING INTO OUR
11:03:12AM COMMUNITY, AND THIS IS ANOTHER WAY FOR US TO DO SO BY GIVING
11:03:15AM BACK.

11:03:18AM OUR FAMILY MOVED HERE FROM ARIZONA THREE YEARS AGO.
11:03:21AM AND WE ARE STILL FULLY GETTING COMFORTABLE AND ENJOYING ALL
11:03:25AM THE BENEFITS OF TAMPA.
11:03:26AM WE ARE DEFINITELY THOSE THAT WORK, PLAY AND SPEND OUR TIME

11:03:34AM THE INTERESTS THAT I CAME TO APPLIED THIS POSITION, MY
11:03:39AM BACKGROUND IS REAL ESTATE INVESTING.
11:03:40AM I'M HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH THE REAL ESTATE INVESTING
11:03:44AM COMMUNITY AND THAT'S HOW THE GASWORX PROJECT CAME UP AND IT
11:03:48AM SOUNDS LIKE A FASCINATING PROJECT.
11:03:49AM WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THE URBAN DENSITY THAT'S COMING TO
11:03:54AM THE AREA.
11:03:55AM THE PARKS, JUST THE COMMUNITY BUILDING OF THE RESIDENTS HERE

11:04:25AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
11:04:26AM >> GOOD MORNING.
11:04:27AM I AM ALICIA SAVAGE.
11:04:29AM FOR TIME SAKE, I'LL READ OFF MY NOTES.
11:04:33AM OTHERWISE I CAN NORMALLY SPEAK OPEN-MINDEDLY.
11:04:35AM I SPEAK TO YOU TODAY IN RELATION TO BEING CONSIDERED AN
11:04:38AM AT-LARGE MEMBER FOR THE CBAC.
11:04:41AM CURRENTLY A REAL ESTATE BROKER ASSOCIATE AT CALDWELL BAKER.
11:04:46AM I'M ALSO A DOWNTOWN TAMPA RESIDENT IN THE RIVER ARTS
11:04:49AM DISTRICT OVER NEAR BY CURTIS HIXON PARK.
11:04:52AM I AM INTERESTED IN JOINING THE CBAC FOR TWO SPECIFIC
11:04:57AM REASONS.
11:04:57AM ACTUALLY, A VARIETY OF REASONS, BUT TWO MAIN REASONS.
11:05:00AM BUN BEING BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I AM A BROKER ASSOCIATE,
11:05:04AM I DO DEAL WITH BUYERS WHO ARE CONSIDERING MOVING TO THE
11:05:07AM TAMPA BAY AREA ON A REGULAR BASIS.
11:05:09AM THEY PROVIDE ME WITH FEEDBACK AND SHARE WHAT IT IS THAT THEY
11:05:13AM ARE SEEKING WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR CITY AND
11:05:17AM WHAT IT IS THAT WILL BE THE DECIDING FACTORS THAT PLAY INTO
11:05:21AM THE PART OF THEM ACTUALLY PURCHASING A RESIDENCE IN THE
11:05:25AM TAMPA BAY AREA.
11:05:25AM THE OTHER REASON, MAIN REASON WHY I AM INTERESTED IS BECAUSE
11:05:29AM I AM A MEMBER OF WHAT IS CALLED THE DOWNTOWN RIVER ARTS
11:05:33AM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, ALSO KNOWN AS DRANA.
11:05:38AM I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN VERY WELCOMING TO SPEAK TO US
11:05:41AM AS MEMBERS.
11:05:42AM OUR MISSION OF DRANA IS TO REPRESENT THE RESIDENCES, THE
11:05:46AM BUSINESSES, AND THE VISITORS OF THE TAMPA BAY AREA.
11:05:49AM AS A BOARD MEMBER, WE SEEK OUT TO ACHIEVE THAT MISSION AND
11:05:54AM TO ALWAYS SEEK OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO BE ABLE TO BRING
11:05:58AM FORTH WHAT THE RESIDENCES ARE SAYING AS WELL AS THE
11:06:02AM BUSINESSES AND VISITORS DIRECTLY TO OUR COUNCIL.
11:06:04AM SO IF YOU WERE TO ELECT ME, APPOINT ME AS THE AT-LARGE
11:06:07AM MEMBER, I WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRING THOSE COMMENTS AND
11:06:11AM INTERESTS DIRECTLY TO YOU ALL AND THE MAYOR.
11:06:13AM SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
11:06:15AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:06:16AM NEXT.
11:06:20AM >>JAVIER MARIN: THANK YOU.
11:06:21AM NEXT IS MR. RYAN MISENER FOLLOWED BY CAMILO SOTO.
11:06:26AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GOOD MORNING, SIR.
11:06:29AM >> RYAN MISENER.
11:06:30AM SEEKING APPOINTMENT FOR AT-LARGE SEAT ON THE COMMUNITY
11:06:33AM BENEFITS ADVISORY COUNCIL.
11:06:35AM I'VE BEEN A TAMPA RESIDENT SINCE 2003.
11:06:37AM A DOWNTOWN TAMPA RESIDENT SINCE 2013.
11:06:40AM GRADUATE FROM USF WITH A MASTERS IN BUSINESS AND CAREER IN
11:06:43AM THE FINANCIAL SECTOR.
11:06:45AM TREASURER OF THE CONDO BOARD OF SKYPOINT.
11:06:48AM 32-STORY HIGH-RISE ON ASHLEY DRIVE.
11:06:52AM WITH 3 MILLION BUDGETARY IN RESERVE ALLOCATION DOLLARS.
11:06:56AM AND THE TREASURER OF DRANA, DOWNTOWN RIVER ARTS NEIGHBORHOOD
11:07:00AM ASSOCIATION.
11:07:00AM I'M ALSO A FREQUENT CONTRIBUTOR TO THE SKYSCRAPER CITY OF
11:07:03AM TAMPA PAGE WHICH IS A GREAT RESOURCE FOR ALL OF THE
11:07:06AM DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA.
11:07:08AM IF SELECTED FOR THE APPOINTMENT, I WOULD BE A HUGE
11:07:12AM PROPORTIONATE OF HEIGHT.
11:07:13AM THE PROPOSAL FOR ROME YARD ARE FANTASTIC.
11:07:17AM I LOVE THE IDEA OF ASSISTED HOUSING ALONG WITH MARKET-RATE
11:07:20AM PROPERTIES.
11:07:21AM ROME YARD WILL TOP OUT AROUND 135 FEET.
11:07:26AM ADDITIONAL FLOOR ON FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS COULD BRING IN
11:07:28AM POTENTIALLY MILLION DOLLAR MARKET RATE UNITS, CONTRIBUTING
11:07:33AM PROPERTY TAXES TO THE CITY AS WELL DEPENDING ON THE
11:07:36AM LOCATION, ASSESSMENT FUNDS TO THE DOWNTOWN TAMPA
11:07:40AM PARTNERSHIP.
11:07:41AM IF SELECTED FOR THE APPOINTMENT, I WOULD BE A HUGE OPPONENT
11:07:46AM WHAT IS CALLED VALUE ENGINEERING.
11:07:48AM THIS IS A PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION THAT LOWERS COSTS,
11:07:50AM INCREASES THE PROFITS FOR THE DEVELOPER, BUT IT DOES NOTHING
11:07:55AM ARCHITECTURALLY TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY, THE TAMPA CITY
11:07:57AM SKYLINE OR THE WALKABILITY SCORE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:08:00AM THESE ARE ISSUES I ALWAYS BELIEVED SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AT
11:08:02AM THE DDR, THE DESIGN DISTRICT STAGE DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS.
11:08:08AM THESE ARE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS ARTISTIC PARKING GARAGE
11:08:12AM SCREENING, LIGHTING, AND POTENTIALLY REQUIRES FIRST FLOOR
11:08:17AM RETAIL WHICH WOULD GREATLY BENEFIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A
11:08:21AM WHOLE.
11:08:21AM I HAVE MANY MORE IDEAS BUT NO TIME.
11:08:24AM I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND THANK YOU FOR
11:08:26AM ALL THAT YOU DO FOR THE CITY.
11:08:29AM APPRECIATE IT.
11:08:29AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
11:08:31AM >>JAVIER MARIN: NEXT MR. SOTO FOLLOWED BY JOSEPH ROBINSON.
11:08:39AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
11:08:41AM MR. SHELBY, MADAM CLERK, CAMILO SOTO, YOUR FRIENDLY
11:08:46AM NEIGHBORHOOD TAMPE O.
11:08:48AM YOU MAY RECOGNIZE ME FROM I GUESS VARIOUS FACETS.
11:08:52AM I WORK WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
11:08:55AM ADVOCACY FOR FLOOD MITIGATION, PARTICULARLY IN TAMPA
11:08:58AM HEIGHTS.
11:09:00AM MS. HENDERSON MAY RECOGNIZE ME FROM THE LOVE THAT WE SHARE
11:09:04AM FOR A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP THAT WE ALWAYS BUMP INTO EACH OTHER
11:09:07AM AT.
11:09:08AM IN ANY EVENT, I AM SEEKING APPOINTMENT TO THIS AT-LARGE
11:09:14AM POSITION ON THE CBAC.
11:09:17AM BECAUSE AS A TAMPE O, I'VE SEEN THE GROWTH THAT TAMPA HAS
11:09:21AM EXPERIENCED.
11:09:21AM I CAME TO TAMPA IN '97 TO DO MY UNDERGRADUATE USF.
11:09:26AM AND JUST THE TRANSFORMATION THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE CITY
11:09:30AM HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.
11:09:31AM MY BACKGROUND AS AN ATTORNEY, I WORK FOR A LOCAL GOVERNMENT
11:09:36AM HERE IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA.
11:09:39AM I ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCES AS AN URBAN PLANNER.
11:09:43AM I THINK MY EXPERIENCE, MY 17 PLUS YEARS EXPERIENCE AS AN
11:09:46AM ATTORNEY AND AS A PLANNER WOULD BE A BIG VALUE.
11:09:50AM WOULD BRING LOTS OF VALUE TO THE CBAC.
11:09:54AM IRONICALLY ENOUGH, I VOLUNTEERED IN TAMPA.
11:09:56AM I'VE NEVER REALLY PUT MY ATTORNEY URBAN PLANNING SKILLS TO
11:10:03AM DIRECT USE FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA.
11:10:05AM I VOLUNTEERED FOR THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
11:10:08AM I TRIED TO GET CERTAIN POLICIES IN PLACE.
11:10:12AM BUT AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT ON THIS COMMITTEE WOULD BE
11:10:17AM INCREDIBLE.
11:10:18AM I WOULD ABSOLUTELY RELISH THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO
11:10:20AM BRING THAT VALUE, BRING THAT EXPERTISE FORWARD WITH THIS
11:10:24AM COMMITTEE.
11:10:24AM IN ANY EVENT, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T TAKE THE
11:10:29AM OPPORTUNITY TO AT LEAST GIVE YOU ONE FINAL UPDATE REGARDING
11:10:32AM FLOODING IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
11:10:33AM THE F.D.O.T. PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS AT TAMPA AND FLORIDA
11:10:38AM AVENUE HAVE BEEN SCOPED DOWN.
11:10:41AM THE DRAINAGE MITIGATION THAT WAS PROPOSED ORIGINALLY IS NO
11:10:44AM LONGER GOING TO BE PART OF THE PROJECT.
11:10:46AM I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO KEEP COGNIZANT OF THAT IN
11:10:50AM FUTURE PROJECTS IN PARTICULAR THE EXTENSION OF THE
11:10:53AM STREETCAR.
11:10:53AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:10:56AM >>JAVIER MARIN: THANK YOU, MR. SOTO.
11:10:57AM MR. JOSEPH ROBINSON.
11:11:00AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. MARIN, JESSICA FRANKLIN, JESSICA
11:11:05AM HARRISON BAILEY AND LORI HARRIS.
11:11:07AM ARE THEY ON THE LIST?
11:11:08AM TWO ARE VIRTUAL.
11:11:10AM GOOD MORNING, MR. ROBINSON.
11:11:12AM >> GOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL.
11:11:13AM YOU HAVE MY RESUM , SO YOU HAVE MY BACKGROUND.
11:11:18AM I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF CITY OF TAMPA 65 YEARS.
11:11:20AM THIS PROJECT IS FOR THE WHOLE CITY, NOT FOR ONE PART.
11:11:25AM IT'S ANY REDEVELOPMENT ANYWHERE IN THE CITY.
11:11:27AM I'M ON THE SPORTS AUTHORITY.
11:11:28AM I'M ON THE WEST TAMPA CRA.
11:11:30AM AND I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH COMMUNITY BENEFITS -- THE VERY
11:11:33AM FIRST ONE, ROME YARD.
11:11:35AM I HELPED DEVELOP IT.
11:11:36AM I HELPED REVIEW IT AND I'M IMPLEMENTING IT NOW.
11:11:39AM I ALSO HAVE PROVIDED CONSULTING FOR THE ST. PETERSBURG RAYS
11:11:43AM BENEFIT AGREEMENT THAT THEY ARE OVER THERE VOTING ON NOW.
11:11:46AM SO I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, LICENSED PROFESSIONAL
11:11:49AM MECHANICAL ENGINEER SINCE 1982.
11:11:51AM SERVED COMMUNITY FREE, NO CHARGE WITH MY EXPERTISE.
11:11:55AM AND I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE ADDED VALUE.
11:11:59AM I AM ALSO FAMILIAR WITH THE ORDINANCE OF ARTICLE 11,
11:12:01AM COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM FOR TIER ONE, TIER TWO, AND TIER
11:12:05AM THREE AND THE BENEFITS THAT IT REQUIRES THE DEVELOPERS AND
11:12:08AM THE WAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PRESENTED AND THE PROCEDURES
11:12:11AM FOR EVALUATING THOSE BENEFIT AGREEMENTS.
11:12:13AM SO I THINK THAT MY BACKGROUND AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS
11:12:16AM AGREEMENT WERE THE VERY FIRST AT ROME YARD, VERY SUCCESSFUL
11:12:20AM WEST TAMPA.
11:12:20AM MY BACKGROUND IN WORKING AND GIVING BACK TO THE CITY OF
11:12:23AM TAMPA AND MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE CITY OF TAMPA AS A WHOLE, NOT
11:12:27AM JUST DOWNTOWN, NOT JUST WEST TAMPA, NOT JUST EAST TAMPA, BUT
11:12:31AM CITY HALL, INCLUDING UP THERE IN NORTH TAMPA AS WELL.
11:12:33AM SO I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS POSITION, AND I
11:12:37AM WOULD ASK FOR YOUR FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION BASED UPON MY
11:12:42AM COMMITMENT AND MY DESIRE TO BRING MY EXPERTISE AND MY
11:12:45AM BACKGROUND TO WORK ON AS FOR TWO YEARS, ONLY TWO YEARS, FOR
11:12:48AM THE AT-LARGE, SO THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING THAT
11:12:51AM EXPERTISE.
11:12:52AM THIS IS A START-UP COUNCIL AND I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO NEED
11:12:56AM SOMEONE WHO NEEDS EXPERIENCE IN DEALING WITH CITY
11:12:59AM ORDINANCES, DEALING WITH CITY PROGRAMS AND DEALING
11:13:02AM SPECIFICALLY WITH WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS AND WHAT
11:13:05AM COMMUNITY BENEFITS THEY WANT TO GET PURSUANT TO THE
11:13:07AM ORDINANCE.
11:13:07AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
11:13:08AM I HAVE LORI HARRIS.
11:13:18AM YES, MA'AM.
11:13:19AM COME ON UP.
11:13:19AM THEN I'LL GO TO THE VIRTUAL SPEAKERS.
11:13:24AM GOOD MORNING.
11:13:24AM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
11:13:26AM >> GOOD MORNING, CHAIRPERSON AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
11:13:30AM LORI HARRIS.
11:13:32AM I AM THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE
11:13:35AM CBAC.
11:13:36AM YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE RESEARCH ON ALL OF YOUR APPLICANTS SO
11:13:39AM I WON'T DIVE DEEP INTO MY CAREER, OTHER THAN SHARING 14
11:13:43AM YEARS OF HABITAT INTERNATIONAL.
11:13:44AM I VENTURE IN MY EFFORTS LOCALLY, AND I WAS SENIOR ADVISOR TO
11:13:49AM THE HONORABLE MAYOR BUDDY DYER AT THE CITY OF ORLANDO AND
11:13:50AM ALSO SERVED UNDER FORMER MAYOR CITY OF AUSTIN, MAYOR ADLER.
11:13:54AM I HAVE ALSO SERVED IN SIMILAR CAPACITIES THROUGHOUT THE
11:13:58AM COUNTRY AND WORKING AROUND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROJECTS,
11:14:02AM INCLUDING THE MOST RECENTLY WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL CENTER.
11:14:07AM CURRENTLY PROVIDING LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTED
11:14:09AM OFFICIALS WITH ADVISING ON PROCESSES AND INCREASING
11:14:11AM HIGH-LEVEL ENGAGEMENT WITH DIRECTLY IMPACTED MEMBERS ON
11:14:15AM COMPLEX ISSUES AND POLICY MAKERS LIKE YOURSELF WITH AN
11:14:19AM UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES THAT
11:14:22AM ACTUALLY FOSTER EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL. AND THE
11:14:27AM CORNERSTONE OF THAT APPROACH IS SOMETHING CALLED EQUITY
11:14:30AM CENTERED COMMUNITY DESIGN AND DECISION MAKING.
11:14:32AM THIS MEANS NOT ONLY ARE WE RECOGNIZING THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF
11:14:35AM OUR COMMUNITY, BUT ACTIVELY INVOLVING THOSE WHO ARE MOST
11:14:39AM IMPACTED BY THE DECISIONS THAT WE ALL MAKE IN THE POLICY
11:14:43AM MAKING PROCESS.
11:14:44AM THE OVERALL QUESTION IN CREATING EQUITY CENTERED COMMUNITY
11:14:48AM DESIGN AND EQUITABLE OUTCOMES IS HOW ARE WE MAXIMIZING
11:14:52AM BENEFITS AND MINIMIZING HARM AS WE CONSIDER A PROJECT IN OUR
11:14:57AM COMMUNITY.
11:14:58AM WE'RE ABLE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS THROUGH AUTHENTIC AND
11:15:02AM TRANSFORMATIONAL AND MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WHERE
11:15:05AM THE SHARING OF DECISION MAKING POWER IS BETWEEN COMMUNITIES
11:15:07AM DIRECTLY IMPACTED AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
11:15:09AM I HAVE HAD THE HONOR AND BLESSING TO BE ABLE TO BE A PART OF
11:15:13AM SOME REALLY INCREDIBLE WORK ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUT I SHOULD
11:15:18AM ALSO SHARE I AM A PERSON WHO IDENTIFIES AS BEING INDIGENOUS,
11:15:21AM PERSON FORMERLY HOMELESS, A PERSON DISPLACED, A PERSON WHO
11:15:26AM HAS HAD EXTREME POVERTY.
11:15:28AM I BELIEVE THAT MY UNIQUE BLEND OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE,
11:15:32AM LIVED EXPERIENCE AND PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO EQUITY WOULD
11:15:34AM BRING VALUE TO THE PROCESS THAT YOU GUYS ARE BRINGING TO THE
11:15:38AM CBAC.
11:15:39AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:15:39AM WE HAVE JESSICA FRANKLIN ONLINE.
11:15:43AM MS. FRANKLIN, IF YOU ARE ONLINE, GO AHEAD.

11:20:55AM GRANT CONNER MEHLICH.
11:20:57AM I'M HERE TO ASK FOR CONSIDERATION FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE
11:20:59AM CBAC.
11:21:01AM I FEEL THAT I AM WELL QUALIFIED.
11:21:05AM I AM AN 18-YEAR RESIDENT AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IN YBOR
11:21:08AM CITY.
11:21:09AM IN FACT, MY BUSINESS, GCM INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT ALSO
11:21:14AM DOES ENSURE THE STREETCAR SYSTEM AND WAS RECENTLY JUST
11:21:17AM NOMINATED AS TOP 25 FASTEST GROWING BUSINESSES IN THE
11:21:20AM COUNTRY.
11:21:21AM THE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE, SERVED ON YCDC EIGHT YEARS,
11:21:27AM EVERYTHING FROM BOARD MEMBER ALL THE WAY UP TO TREASURER,
11:21:29AM VICE-CHAIR AND THEN EVENTUALLY CHAIRMAN.
11:21:31AM I HAVE A VERY GOOD PULSE AND FEELING FOR YBOR RIGHTS AND IN
11:21:36AM GENERAL OF HOW THINGS KIND OF FUNCTION IN THE CITY.
11:21:39AM I AM AN ARDENT SUPPORTER OF MR. SHAW'S PROJECT.
11:21:43AM I HAVE MET WITH THE GENTLEMAN.
11:21:44AM I BELIEVE THIS OPPORTUNITY IS ONCE IN A LIFETIME FOR THE
11:21:48AM CITY OF TAMPA AND FOR YBOR CITY.
11:21:50AM IF GASWORX SUCCEEDS, THAT MEANS ALL COMMUNITIES FROM YBOR
11:21:55AM CITY TO GASWORX TO TAMPA HEIGHTS, TO WATER STREET, TO
11:21:59AM DOWNTOWN WILL ALL BE ONE COMMITTED AND UNIVERSAL CITY AND
11:22:04AM COMMUNITY.
11:22:05AM A STRONG YBOR CITY CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING, THAT THE CITY OF
11:22:09AM TAMPA IS STRONG, VIBRANT AND HEALTHY.
11:22:12AM IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I PLEASE STAND TO ANSWER THEM.
11:22:16AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
11:22:19AM >> THANK YOU, SIR.
11:22:19AM THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
11:22:21AM >>JAVIER MARIN: I THINK WE CAN GO NOW TO MS. STEPHANIE
11:22:24AM HARRISON BAILEY.
11:22:24AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: STEPHANIE HARRISON BAILEY, IF YOU ARE
11:22:27AM ON, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
11:22:28AM YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES.
11:22:31AM >> HI THERE.
11:22:31AM STEPHANIE HARRISON BAILEY HERE.
11:22:34AM GOOD MORNING.
11:22:37AM I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU KNOW MY NAME.
11:22:40AM SORRY I'M NOT THERE IN PERSON THIS MORNING.
11:22:42AM I'M SURE I WILL BE THERE FOR SOMETHING NEXT WEEK.
11:22:45AM I WANTED TO SPEAK TO MY INTEREST ON THE AD HOC PROJECT
11:22:52AM SPECIFIC MEMBER FOR GASWORX PROJECT REALLY FOR TWO REASONS.
11:22:56AM NUMBER ONE IS MY LOVE OF YBOR.
11:22:59AM I AM AN YBOR RESIDENT ON AND OFF SINCE 2010, FULL-TIME SINCE
11:23:05AM 2019.
11:23:06AM I AM ON THE BOARD OF THE HISTORIC YBOR NEIGHBORHOOD
11:23:09AM ASSOCIATION.
11:23:09AM I OWN PROPERTY IN YBOR AND MY BUSINESS IS ALSO LOCATED IN
11:23:14AM YBOR.
11:23:14AM I DO DAILY WALKS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:23:17AM I GET TO TALK TO ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS.
11:23:20AM I LIKE TO THINK THAT I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD EAR TO THE GROUND
11:23:25AM IN TERMS OF WHAT RESIDENTS -- HOW RESIDENTS ARE FEELING,
11:23:28AM WHAT THEIR MOOD IS, PERTAINING TO NEW AND POTENTIALLY
11:23:34AM EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:23:37AM THE OTHER REASON THAT I HAVE APPLIED FOR THIS POSITION IS MY
11:23:40AM PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND.
11:23:42AM AT THIS MOMENT, I AM AN ENTREPRENEUR DOING MICRODEVELOPMENT.
11:23:46AM SO KIND OF THE OPPOSITE END OF THE SCALE FROM GASWORX.
11:23:51AM I'M DOING THINGS THAT WOULD FIT IN A PARKING SPOT IN
11:23:54AM GASWORX, BUT I UNDERSTAND HOW BIGGER DEVELOPMENTS WORK.
11:23:57AM I HAVE A BACKGROUND IN ARCHITECTURE AND REAL ESTATE
11:24:01AM DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION.
11:24:02AM I KNOW ALL THE PUZZLE PIECES THAT NEED TO FIT TOGETHER FOR A
11:24:06AM SUCCESSFUL PROJECT.
11:24:07AM I ALSO UNDERSTAND, GIVEN MY LOVE OF YBOR AND GIVEN MY
11:24:13AM PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND, I UNDERSTAND THE BALANCING ACT
11:24:16AM THAT'S GOING TO NEED TO OCCUR AS GASWORX GETS OFF THE
11:24:21AM GROUND, THE BALANCE BETWEEN THIS HUGE GROWTH AND THE
11:24:24AM POTENTIAL FOR THIS ENTIRELY NEW NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WILL
11:24:28AM CONNECT YBOR WITH OTHER MODES OF TAMPA, BUT ALSO THE SUPPORT
11:24:33AM THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED FROM AND FOR THE EXISTING
11:24:37AM COMMITTEE.
11:24:37AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:24:38AM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE
11:24:40AM APPLICANT.
11:24:41AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DO.
11:24:42AM THANK YOU, STEPHANIE, FOR BEING ONLINE AND APPLYING FOR
11:24:45AM THIS.
11:24:46AM CLEARLY, YOU'RE A WELL-QUALIFIED CANDIDATE AND WE ALL
11:24:49AM APPRECIATE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO YBOR.
11:24:51AM MY ONLY CONCERN, EVEN IN YOUR APPLICATION, YOU TALKED ABOUT
11:24:54AM PROJECTS THAT YOU HAVE THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THESE
11:24:59AM PROJECTS.
11:25:00AM DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ABLE TO SHIELD YOURSELF FROM THE
11:25:03AM SELF-INTEREST OR CONFLICT OF INTEREST?
11:25:06AM >> I DO.
11:25:07AM I DO.
11:25:08AM THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.
11:25:09AM I THINK THAT IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION, SO THANKS FOR
11:25:14AM BRINGING IT UP.
11:25:15AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:25:16AM MR. MARIN IS THAT EVERYONE?

11:25:23AM MS. SHANNON JORDAN IN YOUR PACKET AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION

11:25:27AM THAT CONCLUDES THE NAMES.
11:25:30AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:25:30AM WE'LL HAVE THE BALLOT -- DO YOU HAVE A TALLY ON THE OTHER?
11:25:34AM YOU DO.

11:31:47AM >>LUIS VIERA: I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE BRIEFLY,
11:31:50AM IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR.
11:31:51AM THIS IS A REALLY GOOD PROGRAM I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT BECAUSE
11:31:55AM IT DEALS WITH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH IN
11:31:59AM PART WITH OUR RACIAL RECONCILIATION COMMISSION WHICH IS
11:32:03AM MOVING FORWARD.
11:32:07AM SOMETHING I DON'T THINK LOCAL GOVERNMENTS DO NEARLY ENOUGH
11:32:10AM ON.
11:32:12AM I'M REALLY HAPPY TO SAY UNDER THE CASTOR ADMINISTRATION WE
11:32:15AM HAVE MADE GAINS IN THAT REGARD.
11:32:17AM I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL.
11:32:18AM EVERY YEAR NATIONALLY IN THE UNITED STATES, ABOUT 750,000
11:32:24AM INDIVIDUALS LEAVE THE PRISON CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
11:32:29AM WITHIN THREE YEARS, ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THEM WILL REOFFEND.
11:32:32AM AND THAT'S A MAJOR ISSUE OF EQUITY, OF JUSTICE, OF PUBLIC
11:32:36AM SAFETY, OF FAMILIES, OF COMMUNITIES, AND WE REALLY, REALLY
11:32:39AM NEED TO DO A LOT.
11:32:41AM WE'VE BEEN ABLE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS TO PUT IN INCENTIVES
11:32:43AM FOR CONTRACTORS, TO HIRE RETURNING CITIZENS, BAN THE BOX.
11:32:47AM THIS REPRESENTS A NEARLY QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS
11:32:49AM INVESTMENT IN THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE WORKED ON WITH COUNTY
11:32:53AM COMMISSIONER GWEN MYERS IN PUTTING FORTH ABOUT ALMOST A
11:32:57AM QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS FOR JOB TRAINING FOR RETURNING
11:33:00AM CITIZENS.
11:33:00AM WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE EVENTUALLY AND I DO PLAN ON MOTIONING
11:33:05AM FOR THIS IS FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA TO HAVE A FORMAL OFFICE
11:33:09AM FOR RETURNING CITIZENS.
11:33:12AM THE CITY OF BOSTON HAS THAT AND OTHER CITIES DO, TO HAVE A
11:33:16AM CITY WHERE WE HAVE AT LEAST ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO PEOPLE CAN
11:33:19AM COME TO AND WHO IS THAT POINT PERSON FOR RESIDENTS HERE ON
11:33:23AM ISSUES INVOLVING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, HEALTH CARE, VOTER
11:33:27AM REGISTRATION, RESTORATION OF RIGHTS SO THAT THEY CAN REFER
11:33:30AM FOLKS OFF TO THE PROPER INSTITUTIONS.
11:33:33AM I KNOW THAT OUR RACIAL RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE IS GOING TO
11:33:35AM BE WORKING ON THAT ISSUE AS WELL.
11:33:38AM THAT'S ALL.
11:33:40AM WANTED TO SPEAK ON IT.
11:33:41AM THIS IS A WONDERFUL THING.
11:33:42AM THE CONTRACT WAS AWARDED TO ABE BROWN MINISTRIES RETURN TO
11:33:45AM WORK.
11:33:45AM ABE BROWN MINISTRIES TO ME IS AN AMAZING INSTITUTION.
11:33:49AM IF I MAY, I'LL BE GLAD TO MOVE IT.
11:33:52AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION.
11:33:54AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANTED FOR THE PUBLIC NOTE THAT IT
11:33:59AM MIGHT BE A QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR LIKE INVESTMENT BUT THE
11:34:02AM CITY OF TAMPA AND THIS IS ONLY PUTTING A HUNDRED THOUSAND
11:34:04AM IN.
11:34:04AM >>LUIS VIERA: YES, MA'AM.
11:34:05AM >>LYNN HURTAK: JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.
11:34:08AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A QUESTION BECAUSE IN PUBLIC
11:34:10AM COMMENT THERE WAS TALK ABOUT HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT.
11:34:12AM WAS THERE A RESTRICTION ON SPENDING THIS MONEY FOR JUST
11:34:15AM PEOPLE THAT ARE FRESHLY OUT OF PRISON VERSUS PEOPLE OUT IN
11:34:18AM THE COMMUNITY THAT MAYBE OFFEND?
11:34:20AM >>LUIS VIERA: I'M UNAWARE OF THAT.
11:34:22AM I CAN INQUIRE FOR MS. BULLOCK, WOULD BE GLAD TO DO THAT AND
11:34:26AM SEE WITH ROBERT BLOUNT AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS ON THE BOARD
11:34:29AM THERE HOW IT'S PLANNING ON BEING SPENT.
11:34:32AM ALL I KNOW IS IT WILL BE FUNDS TO MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS WHO
11:34:34AM ARE LEAVING THE PRISON SYSTEM WHO WANT TO WORK HARD TO PUT
11:34:38AM FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR THEIR FAMILIES CAN DO IS.
11:34:41AM IN TERMS OF WHAT GROUP THEY WILL BE GOING AFTER --
11:34:43AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I KNOW IT IS NOT A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY.
11:34:47AM I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS A
11:34:50AM NEED OR UNMET NEED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
11:34:59AM >>LUIS VIERA: THIS IS TO ME A SINGLE OR A DOUBLE.
11:35:01AM I LOOK FORWARD TO HITTING A HOME RUN.
11:35:02AM I REALLY HOPE WE DO GET AN OFFICE OF RETURNING CITIZENS IN
11:35:06AM THE CITY.
11:35:07AM I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
11:35:09AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON.
11:35:10AM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU, CHAIR.
11:35:12AM I JUST WANT TO PIGGY BACK OFF OF COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
11:35:16AM THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
11:35:17AM OUR FUNDS ACTUALLY COME FROM THE -- THE HUNDRED THOUSAND
11:35:20AM DOLLARS COMES FROM SOCIAL ACTION.
11:35:22AM IT SHOULDN'T BE RESTRICTED IN ANY WAY.
11:35:25AM THAT IS A WAY WE COULD ADDRESS OUR PUBLIC COMMENT, VALERIE
11:35:30AM BURTON CAME UP AND SAID WE COULD EASILY ADDRESS IT THAT WAY
11:35:34AM BECAUSE THAT MONEY DOESN'T HAVE THE RESTRICTION AS THE
11:35:36AM POSSIBLE GRANT.
11:35:37AM SOMETHING WE CAN TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WITH THE RACIAL
11:35:40AM RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE FOR SURE.
11:35:43AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MAYBE STAFF HEARD OUR COMMENTS LOUD AND
11:35:46AM CLEAR.

11:36:56AM THEN I HAVE A QUESTION FOR COUNCILMAN CARLSON.

11:37:01AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE A SECOND?
11:37:02AM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.

11:37:10AM I JUST CAME BACK FROM FOUR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.
11:37:12AM I'VE BEEN TO LIKE 20 OR SO OF THE TOP CITIES IN THE WORLD IN
11:37:17AM THE LAST YEAR OR SO.
11:37:18AM THE BEST CITIES IN THE WORLD DON'T HAVE ANY OF THIS.
11:37:21AM THIS IS STUFF FOR B AND C LEVEL CITIES THAT ARE TRYING TO
11:37:26AM CATCH UP ON TRANSIT.
11:37:27AM I WAS JUST IN BANGKOK.
11:37:29AM THEY HAVE ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCED TRANSIT SYSTEMS IN THE
11:37:32AM WORLD.
11:37:32AM REALLY EMBARRASSING THAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON THINGS LIKE THIS.
11:37:35AM THE PUBLIC DOESN'T LIKE THEM.
11:37:40AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I APPRECIATE THAT INPUT.
11:37:42AM I THINK PROBABLY -- I'LL VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS BECAUSE LAST
11:37:47AM MINUTE, BUT I THINK MAYBE WE COULD HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION
11:37:49AM IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF TRANSIT IN THE
11:37:52AM CITY AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND SUPPORTING WITH PUBLIC
11:37:55AM FUNDS.
11:37:56AM >>BILL CARLSON: NONE OF THE BEST CITIES IN THE WORLD HAVE
11:37:59AM THESE.
11:37:59AM THEY HAVE ALL GOTTEN RID OF THEM.
11:38:02AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK IT'S PROBLEMATIC.
11:38:03AM I THINK IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THIS
11:38:07AM AS A LONGER TERM AGENDA ITEM.
11:38:08AM I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP.

11:38:42AM WOULD ANYBODY BE AGAINST BREAKING NOW FOR LUNCH AND COMING
11:38:45AM BACK AT 1 AND GOING RIGHT INTO THE PUBLIC HEARINGS?

11:40:43AM SUBMITTING TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY A PROPOSED AMENDMENT
11:40:46AM TO THE REVISED CHARTER OF THE CITY OF TAMPA OF 1975, AS
11:40:50AM AMENDED, TO AMEND SECTION 6.01 TO REVISE THE RESIDENCY
11:40:56AM REQUIREMENTS FOR CITY OFFICE TO APPLY ONLY TO ELECTED

11:41:02AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
11:41:04AM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
11:41:05AM PLEASE RECORD YOUR VOTE.
11:41:10AM >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH CARLSON AND HURTAK VOTING
11:41:12AM NO.
11:41:16AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:41:19AM THANK YOU FOR COMING.
11:41:23AM ITEM NUMBER 94.
11:41:28AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
11:41:29AM ABBYE FEELEY, INTERIM ADMINISTRATOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND
11:41:32AM ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
11:41:33AM ITEM NUMBER 94 IS THE TEXT AMENDMENT CYCLE THAT CAME BEFORE
11:41:38AM YOU ON FIRST READING ON JUNE 27.
11:41:43AM I WAS NOT IN TOWN THAT DAY.
11:41:45AM UNFORTUNATELY I MISSED THAT FIRST READING, BUT I WOULD LIKE
11:41:47AM TO ADDRESS SOME MATTERS THIS MORNING, SPECIFICALLY IN
11:41:51AM RELATION TO THE YBOR PARKING SECTION OF THE TEXT AMENDMENT
11:41:55AM CYCLE.
11:41:56AM AT THE FIRST READING, COUNCIL DIRECTED A COUPLE OF THINGS.
11:42:00AM ONE WAS A CHANGE TO INCLUDE LANDSCAPING BACK AND THE SECOND
11:42:06AM WAS DIRECTIVE TO MEET WITH THE HISTORIC YBOR NEIGHBORHOOD
11:42:09AM ASSOCIATION, WHICH WE DID.
11:42:10AM WHAT I'M ASKING FOR TODAY IS THAT THE YBOR PORTION OF THIS
11:42:17AM TEXT AMENDMENT CYCLE BE PULLED.
11:42:20AM I'VE ALREADY ASKED LEGAL TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE THAT
11:42:23AM REFLECTS THAT IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF A FEW THINGS.
11:42:26AM AFTER WE MET WITH THE HYNCA GROUP, I WENT BACK, REREAD ALL
11:42:32AM OF THE LANGUAGE AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF AMBIGUITIES IN THE
11:42:36AM LANGUAGE AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF CHANGES THAT ARE GOING TO BE
11:42:39AM REQUESTED TO BE MADE.
11:42:41AM WE ALSO NEEDED CLARIFICATION ON THE LANDSCAPE MOTION BECAUSE
11:42:46AM THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT LANDSCAPE STANDARDS FOR PARKING
11:42:49AM LOTS IN THE CITY CODE.
11:42:51AM THERE ARE TWO WITHIN YBOR.
11:42:53AM THERE IS ONE IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, AND THERE IS
11:42:55AM ONE CITYWIDE.
11:42:56AM SO WE COULD NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT THE INTENTION OF THAT
11:43:01AM MOTION IN THE CHANGES AND STILL PROCEED WITH SECOND READING
11:43:04AM TODAY.
11:43:04AM THAT BEING SAID, I DID BRING THOSE WITH ME.
11:43:09AM I DON'T WANT TO HOLD UP THE WHOLE CYCLE BECAUSE THE SOCCER
11:43:13AM STADIUM, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE IS IN THIS CYCLE, THE ACCESSORY
11:43:16AM DWELLING UNITS ARE IN THIS CYCLE, SOME OTHER CLEANUPS ARE IN
11:43:20AM THIS CYCLE.
11:43:21AM BUT I AM COMMITTED TO IMMEDIATELY HANDLING THIS.
11:43:23AM I ASK COUNCIL SET IT TO COME BACK BEFORE YOU ON AUGUST 8 AT
11:43:28AM 5:01 P.M. AS THE FIRST ITEM.
11:43:31AM I DID NOT WANT TO TRY TO ADOPT THIS ORDINANCE AND COME BACK
11:43:33AM TWO WEEKS LATER AND ADOPT IT A SECOND TIME.
11:43:37AM I JUST DON'T THINK IT IS IN THE SPIRIT OF THE WAY WE HAVE
11:43:42AM PROGRESSED WITH THIS TEXT AMENDMENT OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS.
11:43:47AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A FEW THINGS THAT I HAVEN'T HAD A
11:43:49AM CHANCE TO SPEAK TO LEGAL ABOUT REGARDING THIS.
11:43:51AM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THERE IS A WAY TO BRING THE YBOR
11:43:56AM PARKING LOT PORTION BACK AFTER LUNCH SO I HAVE A CHANCE TO
11:43:59AM FINISH MY CONVERSATIONS WITH LEGAL.
11:44:01AM BY AND LARGE, MS. FEELEY AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS
11:44:06AM AND I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
11:44:10AM THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS.
11:44:11AM THIS ONLY MOVES THIS TWO WEEKS.
11:44:12AM IT DOES NOT MOVE IT TO A FULL NEW CYCLE.
11:44:15AM SO IT WILL STILL BE HAPPENING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
11:44:18AM BUT BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE LANDSCAPE QUESTIONS AND CHANGES
11:44:21AM AND SOME OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT BEFORE I MOVE
11:44:28AM THAT.
11:44:29AM I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW WE CAN DO THAT.
11:44:32AM BUT IF WE COULD BRING IT BACK AFTER LUNCH, MR. SHELBY, HOW
11:44:35AM CAN WE DO THAT?
11:44:36AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CAN WE HOLD THIS ITEM UNTIL AFTER LUNCH?
11:44:38AM LET'S HOLD 94 UNTIL AFTER LUNCH.
11:44:43AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I APOLOGIZE.
11:44:44AM IT'S BEEN A HECTIC DAY.
11:44:46AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: I'M HERE ALL DAY.
11:44:47AM I'M HAPPY TO COME AFTER LUNCH.
11:44:49AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE'LL REVISIT 94 WHEN WE COME BACK AFTER
11:44:52AM LUNCH.
11:44:52AM THAT WILL BE FIRST ON THE AGENDA.
11:44:54AM ITEM 95.
11:44:55AM THE HEARING REMAINS OPEN.

12:06:29PM YES, MA'AM.
12:06:33PM >> JULIA MANDELL WITH THE LAW FIRM OF GRAY ROBINSON.
12:06:36PM YOU HAVE HEARD THIS ON FIRST READING TWICE BECAUSE AS A
12:06:40PM RESULT OF OUR LAST HEARING, SOME MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAME
12:06:44PM FORWARD WITH SOME CONCERNS.
12:06:45PM AS A RESULT OF THAT, WE MADE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES.
12:06:48PM I WANT TO MAKE THAT STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD FOR ANYBODY WHO
12:06:50PM IS LISTENING.
12:06:51PM WE HAVE A CONDITION ON OUR SITE PLAN THAT ALREADY PROHIBITS
12:06:57PM OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED NOISE AS WELL AS WE PLACED ON THE SITE
12:07:00PM PLAN A LIMITATION THAT THE RESTAURANT NEEDS TO CLOSE 11 ON
12:07:05PM THE WEEKDAYS AND 12 ON THE WEEKENDS.
12:07:08PM AND THERE IS ALSO AN ADDITIONAL CONDITION ON PROPOSED DECK
12:07:11PM AREA TO ALLOW OUTDOOR EATING, THAT THERE WILL BE NO BAR
12:07:16PM PLACED UPON THAT AREA.
12:07:17PM WE PUT THOSE ON THE SITE PLAN.
12:07:19PM THOSE HAVE BEEN PROCEEDING FORWARD, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO
12:07:22PM ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.
12:07:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?

12:07:44PM BEFORE I START, CAN I SHARE MY SCREEN?
12:07:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SURE.
12:07:48PM GO AHEAD AND WE'LL BRING IT UP.
12:08:06PM >> I HAVE THREE SCREENS.
12:08:07PM I APOLOGIZE.
12:08:08PM WHICH SCREEN IS SHOWING?
12:08:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE ONE THAT HAS THE SITE PLAN WITH
12:08:13PM THE RED AND THE YELLOW.
12:08:16PM >> PERFECT.
12:08:16PM I'M READY IF YOU WANT TO START MY TIME.
12:08:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
12:08:20PM >> AGAIN, GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
12:08:21PM WE MET WITH THE DEVELOPER WITH MR. KNOWLES AND HIS WIFE ON
12:08:25PM JULY 8 TO DISCUSS THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAD.
12:08:27PM WE ARE HAPPY THAT THEY ADDED THOSE NOTES REGARDING THE
12:08:30PM OPERATING HOURS AND ALSO AMPLIFIED SOUND.
12:08:34PM WE DID HAVE CONCERNS WITH SOME OF THE OUTDOOR SPACES.
12:08:37PM I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO GO OVER THOSE REALLY QUICKLY.
12:08:40PM THE OUTDOOR SPACE OVER HERE IS A WALKING AREA.
12:08:44PM WE FEEL THAT THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE RIGHT NOW.
12:08:47PM WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR WHEN THERE IS AN OUTDOOR ZONE WITH
12:08:51PM THE COMMUNITY IS TO HAVE SOME KIND OF A SEPARATION, SOME
12:08:54PM KIND OF ENCLOSURE TO BE ABLE TO SEPARATE CERTAIN USES.
12:08:57PM THIS ONE IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT AND THIS IS KIND
12:08:59PM OF LIKE THE ACCESS INTO THE BACK SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
12:09:02PM THIS IS KIND OF A PICTURE I TOOK THIS MORNING FROM OREGON
12:09:07PM GOING INTO THE SIDE.
12:09:08PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS A FIVE-FOOT SIDEWALK, NOT REALLY
12:09:11PM WIDE ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING THERE.
12:09:13PM AGAIN, ACCORDING TO THE PLANS, THEY ARE NOT DOING ANY KIND
12:09:17PM OF CONSTRUCTION, ACCORDING TO NUMBER FOUR.
12:09:20PM SO WE WOULD BE APPROVING A WET ZONING THERE WITH JUST THAT
12:09:24PM WALKWAY.
12:09:25PM THE OTHER ISSUE WE HAD WITH THE ZONING ON THE WEST SIDE IS
12:09:30PM THAT IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO THIS PARK, PARKLET OWNED BY NOHO
12:09:36PM FLATS.
12:09:36PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS A PUBLIC USE PARKLET WITH WALKWAYS.
12:09:42PM GRILL SET UP.
12:09:43PM THEY HAVE GRASS AREAS.
12:09:46PM THIS IS THE WAY IT LOOKS FROM THE EDGE OF THAT PROPERTY INTO
12:09:51PM THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY.
12:09:54PM OUR CONCERN HERE IS THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE ENCLOSED
12:09:59PM RIGHT NOW.
12:10:00PM IT'S UNEVEN GROUND.
12:10:02PM NOT DOING ANY KIND OF CONSTRUCTION HERE.
12:10:04PM WE'RE GOING TO BE, AGAIN, GIVING THEM CARTE BLANCHE APPROVAL
12:10:08PM OF THIS WET ZONING THAT IS REALLY CLOSE TO THIS PARKLET,
12:10:11PM VERY CLOSE TO THESE FOLKS' HOMES.
12:10:14PM WE FEEL THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE PEOPLE KIND OF GOING BACK
12:10:18PM AND FORTH BETWEEN THE USES, SO WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE USING OR
12:10:22PM DRINKING IN PUBLIC AREAS, HERE ON THE SIDEWALK AS WELL.
12:10:27PM WE DID HAVE THOSE CONCERNS.
12:10:30PM THE BOARD HAS MET.
12:10:32PM WE ARE OKAY WITH IT INDOOR.
12:10:34PM WE ARE OKAY WITH THE ZONING ON THE NORTH SIDE.
12:10:37PM WE ARE NOT IN SUPPORT OF THE OUTDOOR SEATING ON THE REAR
12:10:39PM SIDE AND ON THE SIDE, THE WEST SIDE NEXT TO THE PARKLET.
12:10:43PM AS YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND, THESE WET ZONINGS CONTINUE WITH THE
12:10:50PM PROPERTY, SO EVEN THOUGH THE APPLICANT HAS 20 YEARS OF GREAT
12:10:54PM SERVICE IN SOHO, WHICH IS AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, THIS IS
12:10:57PM A RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND EVENTUALLY THIS PROPERTY MAY CHANGE
12:11:01PM HANDS.
12:11:01PM SO WE HAVE TO LOOK OUT NOT JUST FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
12:11:04PM LIVING IN NORTH HYDE PARK TODAY, BUT ALSO THE PEOPLE THAT
12:11:08PM WILL BE COMING IN THE FUTURE.
12:11:09PM THAT IS WHY WE DO NOT SUPPORT THE RED AREA HERE.
12:11:14PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:11:15PM ANYBODY ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT?
12:11:17PM MA'AM, DO YOU HAVE REBUTTAL?
12:11:20PM >> YES.
12:11:21PM I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS, FIRST OF ALL, AND
12:11:24PM I APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND FOLKS RAISING THESE CONCERNS.
12:11:29PM WE HAD SIMILAR CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED AT THE SECOND
12:11:31PM READING, WHICH WE TURNED BACK INTO FIRST READING TO
12:11:34PM ALLEVIATE THE CONCERNS OF ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
12:11:37PM ASSOCIATIONS.
12:11:39PM WHILE I SAY I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING, THE IDEA OF THIS
12:11:43PM DECK BEING THERE HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE FIRST PUBLIC
12:11:46PM HEARING WHICH WAS MAY 20.
12:11:47PM THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD THAT THAT WAS AN
12:11:51PM ISSUE.
12:11:51PM I DO KNOW THAT MY CLIENT DID HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH CARLOS
12:11:56PM -- I CAN'T RECALL HIS LAST NAME -- AND WE DID INDICATE TO
12:11:59PM HIM AT THAT TIME, HE DID, THAT WE PUT ALL THESE CONDITIONS
12:12:02PM IN PLACE IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE THOSE CONCERNS.
12:12:04PM THE PARK THAT HE IS SPEAKING ABOUT IS NOT A PARK.
12:12:09PM IT IS PRIVATE SPACE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS NEXT DOOR.
12:12:13PM SO ACTUALLY I WOULD SAY THAT CREATES MORE OF A BUFFER THAN
12:12:17PM IT DOES CREATE A PROBLEM SINCE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
12:12:20PM WOULDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO JUMP OVER THE FENCE AND GO
12:12:22PM OVER THERE.
12:12:23PM THAT WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY.
12:12:25PM IT IS NOT A PUBLIC PARK AREA.
12:12:27PM FINALLY, LET ME JUST SAY, THIS IS THE CENTER OF THE CITY.
12:12:30PM THIS IS RIGHT IN FRONT, THIS BUILDING HAS THE TRAIL GOING
12:12:35PM RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT.
12:12:36PM IT IS INTENDED TO BE AN OUTDOOR/INDOOR AREA.
12:12:40PM AND THE DECK HASN'T BEEN CONSTRUCTED.
12:12:43PM IF IT CAN'T MEET BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS, IT WON'T BE
12:12:46PM CONSTRUCTED BUT SINCE WE WERE IN THIS PROCESS, IF THEY DO
12:12:49PM CONSTRUCT IT AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TO COME BACK THROUGH THE
12:12:52PM PROCESS FOR TWO SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, WE WANTED TO GO AHEAD
12:12:55PM AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THAT COULD BE A FUTURE PLAN.
12:12:58PM AS I STATED, THERE IS NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED NOISE.
12:13:01PM THERE IS NO BAR THAT WILL BE ON ANY DECK THAT IS CONSTRUCTED
12:13:04PM OUTDOOR.
12:13:04PM THIS WOULD SIMPLY ALLOW PEOPLE TO TAKE THEIR DRINKS FROM THE
12:13:07PM INDOOR TO THE OUTDOOR IF THAT AREA IS CONSTRUCTED, WHICH IS
12:13:11PM IN LINE WITH WHAT IT IS WE ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IN THIS
12:13:15PM PART OF THE CITY.
12:13:16PM I THINK WE PUT IN PLACE A NUMBER OF CONDITIONS THAT WOULD
12:13:19PM ENSURE THAT IT WOULDN'T BECOME PROBLEMATIC.
12:13:22PM THE FINAL THING I WILL SAY IS THERE ARE OTHER AREAS IN THIS
12:13:26PM WEST TAMPA DEVELOPMENT THAT DO HAVE OUTDOOR SEATING AREAS,
12:13:31PM DO HAVE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED NOISE THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED.
12:13:35PM THIS IS REALLY NOT INTENDED TO BE A PARTY PLACE.
12:13:38PM THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A RESTAURANT WHERE YOU HAVE AN
12:13:41PM OPPORTUNITY TO EAT, RIDE YOUR BIKE UP, EAT.
12:13:45PM IF YOU HAVE A DOG, IF THEY HAVE THE OUTDOOR SPACE, YOU CAN
12:13:48PM HAVE YOUR DOG OUTSIDE AND TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL THOSE THINGS.
12:13:51PM AGAIN, I RESPECT THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS CONCERNS, BUT WE
12:13:54PM HAVE REALLY TAKEN IMMEASURABLE STEPS TO TRY AND ALLEVIATE
12:13:59PM THOSE, AND REALLY THIS IS GETTING VERY DIFFICULT FOR THIS
12:14:01PM PROPERTY OWNER TO CONTINUE TO KEEP CONTINUING THESE ITEMS SO
12:14:05PM THAT THEY CAN ADDRESS MORE CONCERNS THAT ARE COMING UP
12:14:08PM THROUGH THE PROCESS.
12:14:09PM SINCE WE DO HAVE ENOUGH ITEMS IN PLACE I THINK WHICH PROTECT
12:14:13PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR FAVORABLE
12:14:15PM CONSIDERATION.
12:14:16PM THANK YOU.
12:14:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. THOMAS, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD?
12:14:24PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: NO, SIR.

12:16:00PM YOU ARE ABOUT TO PROVIDE IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE
12:16:02PM TRUTH?
12:16:03PM >> YES.
12:16:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
12:16:05PM GO AHEAD.
12:16:06PM >> SO I SPECIFICALLY WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS PROJECT
12:16:09PM BECAUSE I LIVED IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:16:11PM WHEN I WENT BACK AND LOOKED OVER THE HEARING, THERE WERE A
12:16:14PM LOT OF CONCERNS FROM THE NEIGHBORS OF HOW WE LIVE NEXT TO
12:16:17PM MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
12:16:18PM I USED TO LIVE THREE MINUTES FROM THERE.
12:16:20PM THAT'S WHERE I LIVED FOR TEN YEARS AND GOT PRICED OUT OF
12:16:23PM BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE MOVING IN AND WEREN'T THAT MANY
12:16:25PM OPTIONS.
12:16:26PM RIGHT NOW IN THE TERRACE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH A LOT OF
12:16:29PM PEOPLE DON'T GO INTO.
12:16:30PM IT'S IN THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING DISTRICT, RIGHT ABOVE USF,
12:16:33PM THE USF AREA NEEDS MORE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING.
12:16:36PM WE NEED MORE OPTIONS AND THE CONCERNS ABOUT MULTIFAMILY
12:16:39PM DEVELOPMENT ARE ONES FROM PEOPLE THAT LOOK AT THEIR
12:16:41PM NEIGHBORHOOD AND ONLY ASSUME SINGLE-FAMILY IS THERE.
12:16:43PM IF YOU LITERALLY GO TO THE PROPERTY AND TURN TO THE RIGHT,
12:16:45PM THERE'S MULTIFAMILY LITERALLY JUST SPREAD OUT AMONG SINGLE
12:16:49PM STORY BUILDINGS RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
12:16:50PM IF YOU TURN THE CORNER, THERE ARE A TON OF GIANT BUILDINGS
12:16:53PM THAT ARE APARTMENT BUILDINGS.
12:16:54PM I WANT TO REITERATE, THE CONCERNS FROM THE COMMUNITY HOW
12:16:58PM LIVE NEXT TO MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS ARE ONES FROM PEOPLE
12:17:01PM USED TO -- SOMEONE USED TO LIVING IN APARTMENTS, APARTMENTS
12:17:04PM ARE VERY NORMAL IN TERRACE PARK, AN AREA WHERE A LOT OF
12:17:07PM UNIVERSITY STUDENTS LIKE MYSELF WANTED TO SETTLE DOWN, BUT A
12:17:10PM LOT OF THEM CAN'T BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD OR AREN'T ENOUGH
12:17:13PM OPTIONS.
12:17:14PM I REALLY DO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
12:17:16PM NEAR THREE BUS LINES, NEAR A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
12:17:18PM IT IS VERY NICE TO BIKE WITHIN THE TERRACE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD
12:17:22PM AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT REALLY DO DESPERATELY
12:17:25PM NEED THIS HOUSING.
12:17:26PM I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT EVEN THOUGH PLACES ARE GETTING A
12:17:29PM MONTH OFF FOR RENTS, THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE MOVED OUR WAY OUT
12:17:32PM OF THE HOUSING CRISIS.
12:17:33PM WE HAVE TO REALLY LOOK AT THIS PROJECT TO SAY THE TERRACE
12:17:36PM PARK NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION LIKES
12:17:38PM MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
12:17:40PM THIS IS -- THIS NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWS THE GROWTH THAT IS COMING
12:17:43PM AND WANTS IT.
12:17:43PM AS SOMEONE THAT GOT PRICED OUT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD BUT
12:17:46PM LIVED THERE TEN YEARS AND LOVES THE PARK AND WOULD LOVE TO
12:17:49PM GO BACK, PLEASE SUPPORT THIS MOTION, PLEASE SUPPORT THIS
12:17:52PM PROJECT BECAUSE I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CHALLENGE
12:17:54PM THE NEIGHBORS SAYING I CAN'T IMAGINE LIVING NEXT TO A
12:17:57PM BUILDING AND SAYING, HEY, TURN THE CORNER, MULTIFAMILY IS
12:18:00PM EVERYWHERE.
12:18:00PM IT IS A PART OF THE CORE AND FABRIC OF OUR CITY AND WE NEED
12:18:03PM TO SUPPORT MORE OF IT SO OUR FUTURE CAN BE UPHELD.
12:18:05PM THANK YOU.
12:18:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:18:06PM DO YOU HAVE ANY REBUTTAL, MR. PRESSMAN?
12:18:09PM >> VERY SHORT.
12:18:10PM JUST TO CLARIFY, AT THE ORIGINAL HEARING, THERE WAS ONE
12:18:13PM WOMAN WHO WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HEIGHT.
12:18:15PM WE'VE REDUCED THE HEIGHT.
12:18:17PM WE REDUCED THE DENSITY.
12:18:18PM THAT WAS THE ONLY NEIGHBOR THAT HAD COME FORWARD.
12:18:21PM SHE WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE SECOND HEARING THAT WE HAD, WHICH
12:18:25PM YOU CONTINUED.
12:18:25PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:18:26PM MR. THOMAS, ANYTHING TO ADD?
12:18:28PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: NO, SIR.

01:54:29PM IS A RISING SENIOR AT TAMPA PREP, AND SHE SHADOWED TODAY AND
01:54:33PM SHE WILL BE LEAVING AFTER THIS AND I WANTED TO GIVE HER A
01:54:36PM CHANCE TO INTRODUCE HERSELF AND TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
01:54:39PM HER.
01:54:39PM >> HI, GUYS.
01:54:40PM MY NAME IS ANIYA.
01:54:43PM AND A RISING SENIOR AT TAMPA PREP.
01:54:45PM I AM INTERESTED IN DOING LAW IN THE FUTURE, AND I HOPE TO DO
01:54:48PM ECONOMIC COLLEGE.
01:54:50PM I REALLY ENJOYED BEING ABLE TO SHADOW ESPECIALLY BECAUSE
01:54:53PM THEY HAVE THE MAYOR'S BUDGET TODAY.
01:54:55PM AND I THINK COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK FOR HELPING ME TO SHADOW
01:55:02PM TODAY AND THANK ALL OF YOU.
01:55:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
01:55:04PM WE ENJOYED HAVING YOU AND PEST OF LUCK IN YOUR SENIOR YEAR.
01:55:08PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, CONGRATULATIONS.
01:55:10PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
01:55:12PM MISS FEELEY, ITEM NUMBER 94.
01:55:16PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
01:55:17PM BACK TO ITEM NUMBER 94.
01:55:20PM WE STARTED THE DISCUSSION A LITTLE BIT EARLIER IN RELATION
01:55:23PM TO THE TEXT AMENDMENT CYCLE, AND REQUEST BY STAFF TO GO
01:55:26PM AHEAD AND PULL OUT SECTION 21-178 WHICH IS THE YBOR CITY
01:55:33PM PARKING REGULATIONS.
01:55:34PM TO RECAP VERY QUICKLY.
01:55:36PM IT WENT ON FIRST READING JUNE 27.
01:55:38PM TWO MOTIONS MADE BY COUNCIL.
01:55:40PM ONE WAS IN RELATION TO PUTTING THE LANDSCAPING BACK IN.
01:55:44PM AND THEN, ALSO, TO -- TO MEET WITH THE HISTORIC YBOR
01:55:50PM NEIGHBORHOOD CIVIC ASSOCIATION WHICH WE DID.
01:55:52PM MYSELF, ERIC COTTON, SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ WHO IS HERE WITH US
01:55:57PM TODAY, KEITH O'CONNOR WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT.
01:55:59PM WE MET WITH SEVERAL OF THE MEMBERS.
01:56:04PM SPENT SOME TIME TOGETHER GOING THROUGH SOME OF THEIR
01:56:07PM QUESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND SOME CLARIFICATIONS ON T
01:56:11PM LANGUAGE.
01:56:12PM AND AFTER THAT, I, MYSELF, WENT BACK THROUGH THE ORDINANCE
01:56:16PM AND FOUND SOME AMBIGUITIES.
01:56:20PM ONE IN THE COMPLIANCE SECTION AT THE BEGINNING.
01:56:23PM WE NEED TWO COMPLIANCE SESSIONS.
01:56:25PM ONE AT THE BEGINNING AND I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT JUST TO GO
01:56:29PM THROUGH THIS.
01:56:29PM I THINK THERE IS SOME CONVERSATION OUT IN THE PUBLIC THAT I
01:56:32PM WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY.
01:56:33PM SO, WE STARTED THE YBOR ENFORCEMENT.
01:56:37PM WE PUT LOTS UNDER CITATION.
01:56:42PM THOSE LOTS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND GET THE
01:56:44PM APPROPRIATE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS IF THEY HAD NOT.
01:56:47PM WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL LOTS THAT HAVE; HOWEVER, THERE IS A
01:56:53PM SECOND PART TO GETTING A C.A. AND THIS IS MAKING THE
01:56:57PM IMPROVEMENT TO MAKE THE CODE.
01:56:58PM JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT APPROVAL TO DO THE IMPROVEMENT, YOU
01:57:02PM ACTUALLY HAVE TO FINISH THEM.
01:57:04PM JULY 31, WE HAVE 19 CASES GOING TO CODE ENFORCEMENT, THE
01:57:08PM YBOR PARKING LOTS.
01:57:09PM A MIXTURE OF CONDITIONS THAT ARE NOT BEING MET OR THE LOT
01:57:14PM ATTENDANT OR OTHER THINGS THAT THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN CITED
01:57:18PM FOR DURING THIS PROCESS.
01:57:20PM SO, IF THEY ARE GOING THERE AND THEY SAY, OH, I HAVE MY C.A.
01:57:25PM NOW, GREAT.
01:57:26PM YOU NEED TO GO OUT, MAKE THE IMPROVEMENT AND THE LOT NEEDS
01:57:29PM TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE C.A. AS IT IS GRANTED.
01:57:32PM ONCE THAT IS DONE, WE ARE GOING TO CLEAR THE CODE CASE.
01:57:35PM BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO CLEAR A CODE CASE JUST BASED ON YOU
01:57:38PM RECEIVING A C.A. BECAUSE IT MAY STAY THERE FOREVER WITHOUT
01:57:41PM THE IMPROVEMENTS GETTING READY AND THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THIS
01:57:44PM IS COMPLIANCE.
01:57:45PM SO IF YOU HAVE A LOT.
01:57:49PM YOU HAVE GOTTEN YOUR C.A. YOU MADE THE IMPROVEMENTS AND YOU
01:57:52PM HAVE BEEN OPERATING, YOU ARE NOW LEGAL AND IN ALIGNMENT WITH
01:57:57PM THE CODE.
01:57:57PM AND THE NEW PARAMETERS ARE NOT GOING TO IMPACT THAT.
01:58:00PM YOU ARE OPERATING UNDER YOUR PERMIT, AND THAT IS GOING TO
01:58:04PM CONTINUE THAT WAY.
01:58:04PM NEW LOTS AFTER THIS IS PASSED WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE NEW
01:58:11PM REQUIREMENTS, WHICH INCLUDES LOTS BEING A SPECIAL USE 2.
01:58:16PM AND COMING BEFORE CITY COUNCIL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.
01:58:20PM I WANTED TO MAKE CLARIFICATION ON THAT.
01:58:22PM THE OTHER SECTION OF COMPLIANCE IS THAT FOR PAID LOTS THAT
01:58:27PM OPERATE FROM 10 P.M. TO 4 A.M. THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
01:58:32PM WILL NOW BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A -- A OPERATIONS AND SAFETY
01:58:37PM PLAN.
01:58:37PM SO -- AND THOSE WILL START IN JANUARY OF THIS COMING YEAR.
01:58:41PM SO THERE NEEDS TO BE A SECOND COMPLIANCE STATEMENT RELATED
01:58:45PM TO THAT SECTION AND HOP THAT APPLIES TO THAT IS NO
01:58:47PM CURRENTLY IN THIS VERSION OF THE CODE.
01:58:49PM SO THOSE TWO CHANGES WE ARE GOING TO BE MAKING AND CLEANING
01:58:54PM UP.
01:58:55PM THERE IS ALSO A COUPLE OF OTHERS.
01:58:59PM THE LANDSCAPING.
01:59:00PM I WANTED TO GO OVER THAT REAL QUICK.
01:59:02PM I DID BRING -- I HAVE SOME COPIES SO THAT COUNCIL COUNTY
01:59:14PM LOOK DIRECTLY AT THIS WHILE I AM GOING OVER IT.
01:59:17PM SO I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE MOTION WAS TO PUT
01:59:28PM BACK IN WHAT WAS TAKEN OUT AND RESTORE THE CODE TO ITS
01:59:31PM CURRENT STANDARDS AND DURING THE DISCUSSIONS WE HAVE NO.
01:59:42PM CERTAIN THINGS REQUIRED.
01:59:46PM AND I AM LIKE, WELL, THERE ARE THREE SETS OF STANDARDS IN
01:59:53PM THE CITY'S CODE RIGHT NOW.
01:59:54PM THE YBOR STANDARDS AND THE -- FOR -- THOSE GO BY LOT SIZE
01:59:59PM AND THE CDB STANDARDS AND CITY WIDE STANDARDS.
02:00:03PM WHICH ONE WAS IT.
02:00:04PM WITHOUT KNOWING IT, I COULDN'T CORRECTLY MODIFY THE CODE FOR
02:00:08PM ADOPTION TODAY.
02:00:08PM AND I DO NEED CLARIFICATION ON WHICH ONES OF THESE WAS THE
02:00:14PM DIRECTION OF COUNCIL SO I MAY CHANGE THAT FOR THE AUGUST 8
02:00:17PM HEARING.
02:00:17PM >> FOR ME A PERIMETER WITH PLANTS.
02:00:35PM THE INTERNAL ISLANDS, I -- I THINK MAYBE FOR A -- FOR A LOT
02:00:41PM THAT IS LARGER THAN 7500 SQUARE FEET.
02:00:46PM BUT BY AND LARGE, REALLY WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS A
02:00:50PM PERIMETER OF PLANTS AND NOT LOOKING AT A FULL-ON ASPHALT
02:00:55PM CORNER TO CORNER.
02:00:56PM DOES THAT WORK FOR ANYONE ELSE?
02:00:59PM OKAY.
02:01:00PM I HEAR NO OBJECTIONS.
02:01:01PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: ANOTHER TOPIC IS WHEEL STOP VERSUS STRIPING.
02:01:15PM WE DID LOOK AT THAT AND FOR ALL OF THE CITY, YOU ARE ALLOWED
02:01:19PM TO EITHER HAVE WHEEL STOPS OR A MOBILITY APPROVED
02:01:23PM ALTERNATIVE.
02:01:23PM AND STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE KEEP THAT AND NOT MAKE IT
02:01:27PM ALL WHEEL STOPS AND ALLOW IT TO BE AN EQUITABLE STANDARD
02:01:32PM THAT IS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND AT THE DISCRETION OF
02:01:35PM MOBILITY FOR THE ALTERNATIVES.
02:01:36PM AND THEN BUFFERS WAS THE LAST ITEM THAT NEEDED
02:01:44PM CLARIFICATION.
02:01:44PM RIGHT NOW, THE NEW VERSION OF THE CODE SPEAKS TO BUFFERS
02:01:49PM ALONG ALLEYS AND SOME USE ALLEYS FOR MANEUVERING.
02:01:53PM STATE VISIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT LANGUAGE IS CLEAR AS
02:02:03PM WELL.
02:02:03PM ONE MORE THING IN RELATION TO SIGNAGE.
02:02:13PM WITH THE CODE, A SIGN AT EACH ENTRANCE.
02:02:16PM RECOMMENDED ONE SIGN AT EACH ENTRANCE AND WE DO NOT HAVE A
02:02:20PM PROBLEM WITH THAT LAND CLEAN THAT UP AS WELL THAT BEING
02:02:25PM SAID, AUGUST 8th WITH CHANGES IN THE EVENING HAVE AN
02:02:31PM OPPORTUNITY BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READ GOING ANY LAST
02:02:34PM CHANGES I DID NOT WANT TO COME WITH AN ORDINANCE THAT THERE
02:02:40PM WAS FOUND TO BE INTERNAL CONSISTENCIES.
02:02:42PM ADOPT THAT AND TRY TO FIX THINGS OF US FINISHING OUT AND
02:02:53PM COMING BACK BEFORE YOU.
02:02:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
02:02:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THIS IS A GIGANTIC LIFT BY YOU AND YOUR
02:03:01PM DEPARTMENT AND TPD.
02:03:03PM AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR -- FOR THIS CONTINUANCE TO
02:03:09PM SIMPLY NEXT MONTH AND NOT MOVING INTO THE NEXT CYCLE.
02:03:12PM THE COMMUNITY IS VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT.
02:03:16PM I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO GET THIS DONE JUST AS MUCH AS WE
02:03:19PM DO.
02:03:19PM AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.
02:03:21PM I APPRECIATE YOU -- WE HAVE A MEETING NEXT WEEK TO TALK
02:03:26PM ABOUT A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THESE.
02:03:31PM I THINK THE LAST QUESTION WE HEARD WAS ABOUT FENCING.
02:03:33PM THREE TO FOUR FOOT IS WHAT CURRENTLY REARED.
02:03:36PM I THINK THAT IS FINE FOR YBOR.
02:03:40PM I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE ALLEY.
02:03:43PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: SO IF YOU -- LET'S SAY YOUR PROPERTY FACES
02:03:48PM 17th BEHIND YOU IS RESY AND AN ALLEY IN BETWEEN.
02:03:54PM YOU CAN FENCE FROM THE ALLEY A THREE-FOOT OPAQUE AND
02:03:59PM FOUR-FOOT TRANSPARENT.
02:04:00PM NOT A THREE TO FOUR FOOT.
02:04:03PM I THINK THERE WAS CONCERN HOW THAT FUNCTIONS IN REALITY WITH
02:04:08PM CARS COMING DOWN THE ALLEY.
02:04:10PM WORKING WITH DENNIS FERNANDEZ ON THAT TO ENSURE THAT IS
02:04:14PM CONSISTENT WITH THE DISTRICT.
02:04:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
02:04:15PM I THINK THAT IS GREAT I AM HAPPY ONCE WE HAVE A MEETING --
02:04:23PM BECAUSE WE ARE MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IF
02:04:25PM AFTERWARDS BEHAVIOR COMES OUT OF THAT IF WE ARE MOVING ON,
02:04:29PM IF YOU CAN PASS IT TO ALL COUNCILMEMBERS AND GET FEEDBACK IF
02:04:33PM FEEDBACK IS NECESSARY.
02:04:35PM >> YES, AND I BELIEVE BY COMING BACK ON THE 8th, WE WILL
02:04:38PM HAVE TO HAVE THIS LOADED INTO SIRE HERE SHORTLY -- ON BASE,
02:04:43PM SORRY.
02:04:43PM I AM SHOWING MY AGE -- HERE SHORTLY SO THAT WE WILL HAVE
02:04:47PM THAT FIRST READING ON THE 8th.
02:04:49PM SECOND READING ON SEPTEMBER 5, AND THAT WILL BE THE
02:04:52PM EFFECTIVE DATE.
02:04:52PM JUST A FEW WEEKS BEHIND WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
02:04:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WORK DONE ON THIS.
02:05:00PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: YOU ARE WELCOME.
02:05:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
02:05:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OFF-TOPIC, SIGNAGE.
02:05:08PM I KNOW YOU AND I HAD CONVERSATIONS OF EXCESS SIGNAGE OR
02:05:12PM INAPPROPRIATE SIGNAGE IN THE PARKING LOTS.
02:05:14PM ANYTHING THAT IS REINING THAT IN OR SPECIFICALLY TO YBOR?
02:05:19PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION.
02:05:20PM WE DID HAVE A LENGTHY DISCUSSION WITH THAT.
02:05:22PM LIKE I MENTIONED KEITH O'CONNOR WAS PRESENT AT THE HEARING A
02:05:31PM MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AS WELL AS THE
02:05:33PM DISTRICT SUPERVISOR WITH YBOR FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT.
02:05:37PM A CODE ENFORCEMENT MATTER.
02:05:39PM THE CODE IS VERY CLEAR RIGHT NOW.
02:05:40PM NO SIGNS ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ONLY ONE SIGN PER LOT.
02:05:47PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE DON'T NEED TO CLEAN UP THAT BUT JUST
02:05:50PM ENFORCE WHAT WE HAVE.
02:05:51PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: YES.
02:05:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
02:05:55PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
02:05:58PM >>BILL CARLSON: WHAT I HEAR FROM NEIGHBORS THEY DON'T WANT
02:06:01PM SURFACE LOTS AT ALL IN YBOR.
02:06:02PM THERE ARE SLOTS THAT ARE THERE THAT ARE GRANDFATHERED IN BUT
02:06:06PM THEY ESPECIALLY DON'T WANT ANY NEW LOTS.
02:06:08PM AND LANDSCAPING ON ALL THIS STUFF IS -- IS BETTER THAN NOT
02:06:12PM HAVING IT, BUT -- BUT IF THERE IS ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN TALK
02:06:16PM TO THEM ABOUT -- ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO, BUT IF THERE WAS ANY
02:06:19PM WAY EVEN WITHIN A BLOCK OR TWO OF 7th TO PRESENT ANY NEW
02:06:25PM LOTS AND PUSH THEM FARTHER OUT.
02:06:27PM AND THEY THINK IT IS URBAN BLIGHT.
02:06:29PM THEY THINK.
02:06:30PM SAID ALL THIS PUBLICLY.
02:06:32PM THEY THINK IT IS.
02:06:33PM IT IS PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO DO BAD THINGS LATE AT NIGHT AND I
02:06:41PM WISH THERE WAS SOME WAY TO ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING ISSUE
02:06:44PM WHICH IS NOT JUST ABOUT LANDSCAPING, SECURITY OR WHATEVER.
02:06:53PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: I DEFINITELY HEARD THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S
02:06:55PM MESSAGES LOUD AND CLEAR.
02:06:57PM WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CODE CHANGE, I WENT TO PROHIBIT
02:07:01PM LOTS AND THIS DID NOT GO OVER WELL WITH MULTIPLE PARTIES.
02:07:05PM THERE WAS DISCUSSION OF NONCONFORMITIES.
02:07:07PM DISCUSSIONS OF TAKES.
02:07:09PM WE HAVE NOW CHANGE IT FROM BEING ALLOWED, PERMITTED, TO
02:07:13PM BEING A SPECIAL USE WHICH COMES BEFORE YOU.
02:07:16PM SO ANY NEW LOTS AFTER THIS PASSES WILL NEED TO COME TO CITY
02:07:22PM COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
02:07:23PM >>BILL CARLSON: BUT IF THERE IS ANY -- SORRY, I DIDN'T HAVE
02:07:25PM THE LONG CONVERSATION YOU WITH ABOUT WHAT THE POSSIBILITIES
02:07:28PM ARE.
02:07:29PM I UNDERSTAND WE CAN'T DO A TAKING AND IF SOMEBODY HAS AN
02:07:32PM ENTITLEMENT, WE CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY.
02:07:35PM IF SOMEONE WAS TO COME TO US FOR A SPECIAL USE, ESPECIALLY
02:07:38PM WITHIN A COUPLE OF BLOCKS OF 7th AVENUE, I THINK WHAT THEY
02:07:42PM ARE ASKING FOR THERE SHOULD BE A VERY HIGH STANDARD.
02:07:44PM NOT THE SAME -- SHOULD NOT BE THE SAME PROCESSES AS ASKING
02:07:48PM FOR A PARKING LOT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
02:07:49PM ANYWAY, WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT OFF LINE.
02:07:52PM BUT I THINK UNDER LYING, THEY REALLY -- REALLY DON'T WANT
02:07:57PM NEW ONES.
02:07:58PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: UNDERSTOOD.
02:08:00PM THANK YOU.
02:08:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
02:08:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION OR ONE MORE QUESTION
02:08:05PM THAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I ASKED LEGAL ABOUT THIS
02:08:14PM MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ.
02:08:17PM YOU AND I TALKED DURING LUNCH AND MAKE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
02:08:20PM IS CLEAR ON THIS.
02:08:21PM I THINK THAT MISS FEELEY DID A GREAT JOB OF EXPLAINING THIS.
02:08:24PM AND MAKE SURE THAT LEGAL TALKS ABOUT THIS.
02:08:26PM RIGHT NOW WHEN THE PARKING LOTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY -- I
02:08:29PM THINK SHE SAID 19 ARE GOING TO THE MAGISTRATE THIS MONTH.

02:09:04PM REQUIREMENTS BUT AT COUNCIL'S DIRECTION REMAIN AT THE
02:09:06PM CURRENT CODE AND AFTER ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT.
02:09:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
02:09:11PM I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNDERSTANDS.
02:09:15PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS ITEM.
02:09:16PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK?
02:09:19PM YES, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
02:09:20PM >> STEVE MICHELINI.
02:09:23PM I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF 717 PARKING.
02:09:27PM I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS, BUT WHEN COUNCIL MADE A MOTION TO
02:09:30PM ONLY TALK TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITHOUT TALKING TO
02:09:33PM THE BUSINESSES AND THE OPERATORS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THAT,
02:09:37PM THEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED.
02:09:38PM AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE COMING BACK AND HAD MEETINGS, ETC.
02:09:44PM BUT ASKING BUSINESSES TO UNDER GO AN EXPANSE AND ALSO TO NOT
02:09:50PM HAVE AN INPUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE RECENT REVISIONS WITH
02:09:54PM THE CODE.
02:09:55PM THAT SOUNDS RIGHT.
02:09:56PM IT IS FUNDAMENTALLY AGAINST THE PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT ARE
02:10:00PM CURRENTLY EXISTING FOR THOSE PROPERTIES SOME OF YOU ASKED
02:10:09PM FOR DOES NOT COMPLY TO SEPTED STANDARDS.
02:10:14PM AND IT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED.
02:10:16PM YOU SINGLE OUT A OPERATOR VERSUS THE TYPE OF BUSINESS,
02:10:20PM AGAIN, IT FLIES IN THE FACE WHAT SHOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR
02:10:24PM ALL PARTIES IF NOT JUST ONE SIDE OF ONE PROPERTY.
02:10:28PM REGARD SIGNS.
02:10:30PM IF YOU HAVE TOWING SIGNS ON PROPERTIES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO
02:10:34PM REMOVE VEHICLES, THAT IS A STATE STATUTE THAT GOVERNS THAT
02:10:38PM INCLUDING THE SIZE, LOCATION AND THE NUMBER OF SIGNS AND
02:10:41PM THEY HAVE TO BE CLEARLY VISIBLE FROM ALL ENTRIES AND EXITS.
02:10:44PM I WOULD URGE YOU ALL TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU ARE MAKING MOTION
02:10:48PM THAT YOU INCLUDE THE OTHER EFFECTIVE PARTIES AND NOT JUST
02:10:51PM ONE SIDE OF THE EQUATION.
02:10:53PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
02:10:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
02:10:59PM YES, MA'AM?
02:11:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MISS FEELEY, CAN I ASK YOU JUST A QUICK
02:11:04PM FOLLOW-UP QUESTION.
02:11:04PM IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THE REASON I ASKED TO YOU MEET WITH
02:11:15PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION BECAUSE YOU MET WITH THE
02:11:17PM BUSINESS COMMUNITY BUT NOT YET MET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
02:11:20PM THAT'S CORRECT?
02:11:22PM >>ABBYE FEELEY: DURING THIS PROCESS, ONE OF THE LAST
02:11:25PM PRESENTATIONS I SHOWED YOU, WE HAD PROBABLY 12 TO 15
02:11:28PM DIFFERENT MEETINGS ON THIS SUBJECT OVER THE TIME PERIOD.
02:11:33PM WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST TO TRY TO BE EQUITABLE IN THOSE
02:11:37PM MEETINGS.

02:12:15PM SPECIFICALLY WITH ZONING REFORM.
02:12:16PM WE KNOW THAT IT WORKS AND WE KNOW IT IS ESSENTIAL AS A TOOL
02:12:19PM TO GET MORE HOUSING SUPPLY AND MORE DIVERSITY FOR THE
02:12:23PM HOUSING THAT WE ABSOLUTELY NEED HERE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FROM
02:12:33PM ST. PETE REGULATIONS FOR ADUS AND HAVE DONE BE A SEVERE OF

02:12:45PM UNITS AND I UNDERSTAND THEY HIT TRIPLE DIGITS SINCE 2022
02:12:50PM NOW.
02:12:50PM ZONING REFORM WORKS.
02:12:51PM IT IS ESSENTIAL.
02:12:53PM AND I WANT TO END ON A PERSONAL NOTE.
02:12:55PM PART OF A MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSE HOLD HERE IN TAMPA WITH
02:13:00PM THE HOUSE I GREW UP IN.
02:13:01PM ADU WHILE I DON'T GET A ADU ALLOWANCE AND I WON'T WITH THIS
02:13:06PM PARTICULAR REFORM, I AM ENCOURAGED WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE
02:13:09PM WITH WHAT IS ON THE TABLE TODAY WITH THE HOPES OF STAYING IN
02:13:12PM THE TAMPA COMMUNITY, PRANCE RELOCATE TO BUILD AN ADU TO FULLY
02:13:17PM FACILITATE MY MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSE HOLD WITH MY LOVELY
02:13:21PM MOTHER AS THAT SITUATION EVOLVED.
02:13:24PM THE FACT THAT IT CAN BE RENTED TO FINANCE AND CONSTRUCT ONE
02:13:29PM OF THESE UNITS.
02:13:30PM A SUPPORT THAT ZONING REFORM.
02:13:33PM I URGE TO YOU SUPPORT IT AND I URGE YOU TO CONSIDER FURTHER
02:13:36PM REFORMS DOWN THE ROAD TO MAKE SURE THESE ADUs GET BUILT.
02:13:40PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:13:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:13:43PM YES, NEXT SPEAKER.
02:13:46PM >> HELLO, AGAIN, TATYANA MORALES.
02:13:51PM I WANT TO TALK OF LEGALIZING MORE HOUSING OPTIONS.
02:13:56PM WITH THE ADU GOING FORWARD.
02:13:59PM THE NEIGHBORS SAID WE WANT IT.
02:14:01PM THE MARGINAL ADU AMOUNTS WHAT WE ARE GETTING IN THE CITY OF
02:14:07PM TAMPA.
02:14:07PM A LOT OF ILLEGAL ADUs.
02:14:10PM I MOVED FROM NORTH TAMPA TO HYDE PARK.
02:14:13PM I KNOW MY NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T TECHNICALLY SUPPORT IT
02:14:17PM ALREADY I AM NOT ONE THAT IS REPRESENTED IN MY ORGANIZATION
02:14:23PM THAT SUPPORTS MORE HOUSING.
02:14:25PM I THINK THEY DO A GREAT JOB, YOU DON'T HEAR EVERYONE'S
02:14:28PM VOICES BECAUSE A CITY OF OVER 400,000 PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A
02:14:34PM THE TIME TO COME DOWN HERE AND SAY WE NEED MORE OPTIONS AND
02:14:37PM GET REPRESENTED.
02:14:38PM AS WE PASS THE ADU REFORMS.
02:14:40PM WE TRY TO SEE WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS THAT NEIGHBORS ARE FROM
02:14:45PM STOPPING THEM AND TAKING AN ILLEGAL ADU.
02:14:48PM A GLANCE AT A STATE THAT HAS DONE JOB.
02:14:59PM CALIFORNIA HAS MADE A DENT.
02:15:01PM AND IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AS REFORMS TO GO IN THE FUTURE AND
02:15:04PM SAY, I AM NOT SAYING THAT SOUTH TAMPA NEEDS ADU, BUT A BIG
02:15:08PM CITY ABOVE KENNEDY THAT NEEDS MORE HOUSING OPTIONS AND ADUs
02:15:14PM ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF IT.
02:15:15PM LOOK AT THE REGULATIONS AND CHALLENGE YOURSELF.
02:15:18PM THERE ARE DATA AND ZONING REFORMS TO MAKE STEPS MEANINGFUL
02:15:24PM FORWARD TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING CRISIS.

02:24:49PM GOOD EXAMPLES OF THESE ISSUES THAT ARISE USING WESTSHORE
02:24:55PM MALL.
02:24:55PM SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE WATER MAINS ALL OVER WESTSHORE MALL.
02:25:00PM THIS IS INSTALLED DECADES AGO, BUT YOU CAN SEE UP HERE IN
02:25:03PM THE RED CIRCLE UNDERNEATH THE PARKING GARAGE ON THE NORTH
02:25:06PM SIDE OF WESTSHORE MALL, A MAIN THAT RUNS STRAIGHT
02:25:11PM UNDERNEATH.

02:26:07PM IF THIS HAPPENED TO BE GAS OR ELECTRICAL, THE SAFETY OF OUR

02:28:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
02:28:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LEAVE THAT PICTURE UP.
02:28:57PM SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN -- IF YOU ABANDON THAT SECTION WITHIN
02:29:01PM THE YELLOW, WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT LINE THAT COMES DOWN VAN
02:29:07PM DYKE AND TURNS ON RIVER SEWED.
02:29:12PM >> ALL THE WATER MAINS ARE LOOPED.
02:29:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAP THAT ONE IN THE YELLOW, WHAT HAPPENS
02:29:17PM WHERE YOUR PINKY IS.
02:29:18PM >> THE PINKY RIGHT HERE?
02:29:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOWN TO THE RIVER.
02:29:21PM >> WHAT WORKS IN THE GROUND WILL GO DOWN TO THIS THE CIRCLE
02:29:24PM WHICH IS A VALVE AND CAP IT HERE.
02:29:26PM YES, A SHORT STUB OUT CLENDENIN LOOP IT BACK TO THE OTHER
02:29:33PM LINE.
02:29:33PM >> WE WON'T NEED TO.
02:29:34PM BECAUSE BASICALLY FROM RIGHT HERE OFF WILL BE A STUB-OUT
02:29:39PM LINE.
02:29:39PM WOULDN'T NEED TO BE LOOPED ANYWHERE.
02:29:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
02:29:48PM DOES THAT CONCLUDE THE CITY'S PRESENTATION?
02:29:51PM ALL RIGHT.
02:29:52PM LET'S HAVE THE APPLICANT UP.
02:29:54PM >> THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, GUYS, ADAM HARDEN FOR THE
02:30:06PM APPLICANT, THE TAMPA TOURIST CLUB LCC, WHICH IS IN, IN THIS
02:30:12PM CASE, IS REALLY ME.
02:30:14PM I HAVE A HOME IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS AND WAS INTERESTED IN
02:30:17PM SEEING SOMETHING HAPPEN HERE.
02:30:26PM THE STRUCTURE BEFORE IT GOT BURNED DOWN AND UNFORTUNATELY
02:30:29PM THAT HAPPENED AND PARTIALLY WHAT HE SAID FIRST GIVE YOU A
02:30:46PM PRESENTATION.
02:30:47PM IT WAS A H TAMPA DANCE CLUB AT LEAST MY MEMORY AS HARBOR
02:31:02PM CLUB.
02:31:02PM AND FOR PEOPLE TO GO AND HANG OUT.
02:31:04PM THE LOWEST CENSUS TRACT IN THE CITY IF NOT THE LOWEST.
02:31:10PM AND PROGRESS.
02:31:11PM I FELT LIKE THIS PROPERTY COULD BE SOMEWHERE WHERE WE COULD
02:31:16PM PEOPLE CAN COALESCE.
02:31:19PM ARMATURE.
02:31:23PM AND THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT HAS PLANNED SEGMENTS TO CONNECT
02:31:27PM THE PROGRAM FROM ROWLETT TO THE NEBRASKA BRIDGE JUST SOUTH
02:31:31PM OF THE PROPERTY AND ADDITIONALLY HAVE IN HAND TO CONNECT
02:31:35PM THAT SAME TRAIL FROM THE ZOO TO THE TOWER.
02:31:37PM AND SO THERE WAS A PIECE IN THE MIDDLE WHICH THE CITY OWNS
02:31:41PM ALMOST ALL THE PROPERTY FROM SULPHUR SPRINGS BOWL TO THE
02:31:45PM TOWER.
02:31:45PM AND YOU KNOW, MY GOAL HERE IS TO TRY TO GET THAT DONE.
02:31:57PM WHATEVER INFLUENCE WE HAVE I WENT THROUGH THE GENERAL PUBLIC
02:32:03PM ANALYSIS.
02:32:04PM THIS WASN'T QUASI JUDICIAL AND CONSIDERING.
02:32:10PM WE OWN EVERY PARCEL ON EACH SIDE OF THE STREET AT THIS
02:32:13PM POINT.
02:32:13PM ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE HAVE DONE ONCE WE ACQUIRED WHAT I
02:32:17PM CALL A SIGNED PARCEL TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS CLEANED UP THE
02:32:25PM SIGN.
02:32:25PM LANDSCAPED IT.
02:32:26PM CLEANED UP THE SIGN.
02:32:28PM AND I REACHED OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRESIDENT AND WORKING
02:32:32PM ON WHAT WE THINK IS THE FIRST KIND OF ACTIVATION WHICH WILL
02:32:36PM BE AN OUTDOOR COMMUNITY EVENT, A JAZZ FESTIVAL ON OCTOBER 5.
02:32:40PM AND WILL BE, YOU KNOW, TO SUPPORT KIDS ON THE RIVER, WHICH
02:32:44PM IS A CHARITY THAT IS BASED IN SULPHUR SPRINGS.
02:32:47PM SO THAT'S IT.
02:32:49PM I ALMOST SO SMALL I CAN'T READ.
02:32:55PM LET'S SEE HERE.
02:32:56PM SO GREEN AVENUE CURRENTLY IS A 30-FOOT PLATTED STREET.
02:33:05PM WE ARE ASKING TO HAVE IT VACATED.
02:33:06PM THE FRONTAGE ON GRANT BEFORE YOU GET TO THOR.
02:33:13PM >> SECTION -- ON NEBRASKA BEFORE YOU GET TO GRANT IS
02:33:15PM APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET.
02:33:17PM THE CURRENT GREEN BOOK STANDARDS WILL WATCH THAT SITE
02:33:20PM DISTANCE TO BE 305 FEET.
02:33:25PM WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT ABOUT WORKING ON
02:33:28PM A QUICK LITTLE PROJECT HERE.
02:33:31PM RYAN DANGER WHO OWNS THE SPRINGS THEATRE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO
02:33:37PM COME.
02:33:37PM I TRIED TO CALL EVERYBODY OFF BECAUSE OF THE BUDGET HEARING
02:33:40PM THIS MORNING.
02:33:41PM BUT I TOLD HIM I FELT THAT THE LETTERS WOULD SUFFICE, BUT HE
02:33:45PM IS HERE.
02:33:45PM AND OUR THOUGHTS ARE THAT SIMILAR TO WHERE PALM AVENUE MEETS
02:33:54PM FRANKLIN STREET, A TRAFFIC CALMING PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY
02:33:58PM PROJECT.
02:33:58PM SO AS PART OF THAT, WE AGREED WITH THE CITY TO GRANT
02:34:05PM EASEMENTS OVER A PORTION OF OUR PROPERTY WE --
02:34:13PM >> THAT IS UPSIDE DOWN.
02:34:15PM >> THE YELLOW PORTION.
02:34:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: TURN IT AROUND.
02:34:18PM IT IS UPSIDE DOWN.
02:34:20PM >> HERE WE GO, YES.
02:34:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THERE WE GO.
02:34:23PM THERE WE GO.
02:34:24PM SO WITH -- WITH THIS BEING NORTH.
02:34:29PM WE HAVE THE ACCUSE ANGLES IN FRONT OF THE THEATRE.
02:34:32PM CURRENTLY A WEIRD THREE-WAY INTERSECTION BETWEEN VAN DYKE
02:34:37PM AND SITKA AND NEBRASKA COALESCE.
02:34:41PM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIDGE, 30-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY OF GRANT
02:34:45PM AND NEBRASKA.
02:34:46PM AND CARS THAT DECIDE TO HANG A LEFT ON THE BRIDGE AND YOU
02:34:50PM KNOW, VEHICLES COMING OVER THE BRIDGE AT 45 MILES PER HOUR,
02:34:53PM YOU KNOW, HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE.
02:34:54PM THE CITY HAD REQUESTED AND THIS IS SEPARATE FROM WHAT IS
02:34:59PM GOING ON TODAY.
02:35:00PM WE AGREED TO GRANT EASEMENTS OVER THE -- OVER THE -- THE
02:35:05PM APEX AND OVER -- AND SOME ADDITIONAL SPACE SO THE BRIDGE CAN
02:35:09PM BE MAINTAINED.
02:35:09PM SO ADDITIONALLY, YOU KNOW, WE FOUND THE PROPERTY THAT WERE
02:35:23PM BEING USED AS A SEMI STRUCK KIND OF REST STOP WHEN YOU CAN
02:35:31PM DRIVE 10 TO 12 HOURS A DAY AND THEY FOUND OUT THEY CAN CUT
02:35:35PM THROUGH SULPHUR SPRINGS BECAUSE OF THE BIG ROADS AND PARK
02:35:37PM HERE.
02:35:38PM WE PUT UP SIGNS AND TRIED TO ENFORCE THAT.
02:35:40PM ADDITIONALLY, SIGNIFICANT DUMPING PROBLEM.
02:35:43PM A FEW OF THE PICTURES $10,000 IN HAULING STUFF OFF,
02:35:52PM ABANDONED VANS, BOATS, TRAILERS, IN ADDITION TO THE KIND OF
02:35:56PM STANDARD FURNITURE.
02:35:56PM SO WE ARE HOPING IN CONJUNCTION WORKING WITH MOBILITY AT THE
02:36:08PM END OF GRANT PUT UP BOLLARDS AND SECURE THE PROPERTY.
02:36:13PM WE COMMUNICATED WITH THE SULPHUR SPRINGS ACTION LEAGUE AND
02:36:20PM RECEIVED A LETTER OF SUPPORT THAT WE FORWARDED TO YOU EYES.
02:36:23PM ADDITIONALLY SPOKE WITH T.H.A.N. AND DIDN'T HAVE AN OFFICIAL
02:36:28PM MEETING AND A LETTER FROM CARRIE ANNE BENNETT AND
02:36:33PM STEPHANIE POYNOR SUPPORTING THIS.
02:36:34PM AND A LETTER IN THE RECORD FROM THE OWNER OF THE HISTORIC
02:36:37PM THEATRE THAT I SAID IS HERE TODAY SO I THINK IT IS FAIRLY
02:36:47PM STRAIGHTFORWARD THAT THE STAFF REPORT WAS ROBUST.
02:36:49PM WITH REGARD TO THE WATER ISSUE.
02:36:53PM I THINK THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS, IT EVENTUALLY GETS
02:36:58PM CAPPED AND LINE THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND BECOME A LINE THAT
02:37:01PM SERVES THE PROPERTY.
02:37:02PM SO I THINK LOOKING AT IT HISTORICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
02:37:11PM PROPERTY AND WHAT I LEARNED AT SOME POINT PART OF THE CITY
02:37:14PM WATER WORKS SYSTEM THAT WAS ACROSS THE STREET THE -- I GET A
02:37:23PM LITTLE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE -- AND PUBLIC EASEMENT, WATER
02:37:30PM MAIN EASEMENT, AND THE TERMINOLOGY IS A WATER MAIN LIKE A
02:37:41PM 1929 BLACK LAW'S DEFINITION.
02:37:43PM AND I OWN A LARGE MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT MORE THAN 1,000
02:37:49PM ACRES IN PASCO AS THE MAIN TAMPA BAY WATER EASEMENT HOW THAT
02:37:54PM THE MIDDLE OF IT.
02:37:55PM THEY CALL IT A WATER MAIN RIGHT-OF-WAY, BUT TO SIT UP HERE
02:37:59PM AND SHOW PICTURES OF A PARKING GARAGE THAT SOMEBODY
02:38:02PM OBVIOUSLY -- I MEAN, THAT HAD TO BE A COMMITTEE OF PEOPLE
02:38:06PM THERE.
02:38:06PM NOT WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING AT ALL, RIGHT.
02:38:09PM SO THE ORDINANCE HAS PROPOSED THAT THERE WOULD BE NO
02:38:14PM IMPROVEMENTS OR CONSTRUCTION WITNESS THE ENTIRETY OF THE 30
02:38:17PM FEET UNTIL THE APPLICANT, MYSELF ALREADY RELOCATES, CAPS OFF
02:38:23PM THE WATERWAY.
02:38:24PM AND WATER MAIN UNDER PERMITS WITH THE CITY.
02:38:27PM SO, YOU KNOW, TO COME HERE AND FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GETTING
02:38:31PM AMBUSHED WITH THIS NONSENSE THAT SOMEBODY -- IT IS JUST
02:38:35PM SILLY.
02:38:36PM AND, AGAIN, THE -- YOU KNOW, I ALSO ANNEXED -- YOU KNOW AS
02:38:42PM PART OF THE TEAM THAT ANNEXED HERITAGE ISLE IN THE CITY.
02:38:45PM PLENTY OF PLACES IN THE CITY WHERE WATER MAINS ARE IN
02:38:49PM EASEMENTS, WHICH ARE CALLED "WATER MAIN RIGHTS-OF-WAY."
02:38:58PM THE SAME TERM NOT PUBLIC STREET BUT IN THE SAME AREA
02:39:01PM RESTRICTED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
02:39:02PM SO THE CONFLATING OF THESE TERMS IS JUST SILLINESS.
02:39:07PM WHAT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE PROTECT THE CITY.
02:39:10PM CHAD'S CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE UNFETTERED ACCESS TO THE
02:39:14PM LINES UNTIL THEY ARE DISCONNECTED ARE REALIZED.
02:39:18PM AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT -- WHAT HAS BEEN PUT FORTH HERE IS THAT.
02:39:23PM SO I THINK THAT -- FOR THE RECORD, I WOULD MENTION TWO MORE
02:39:34PM THINGS.
02:39:34PM WE OBTAINED THE DRAFT ORDINANCE WHEN IT WAS SIRED WITH THE
02:39:41PM CLERK AND WE HAD IT A FEW DAYS AND WORKED WITH SPECTRUM AND
02:39:46PM TECO AND HALF THEIR EASEMENT CONDITIONS MODIFY THOSE TWO
02:39:49PM E-MAILS WERE SENT FORMALLY TO RON.
02:39:52PM SO IN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING ASSUMING THAT YOU
02:39:56PM GIVE THE AFFIRMATIVE APPROVAL TODAY, THERE WILL BE SOME
02:40:00PM MINOR CHANGES, BUT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE DID THE LIFTING AND
02:40:03PM MADE THOSE CALLS.
02:40:04PM AND PIVOTED ON OUR REPUTATION FOR GETTING THINGS ON IT AND
02:40:09PM WE WERE ABLE TO GET AGREEMENTS FROM BOTH OF THOSE AGENCIES.
02:40:12PM THAT IS ALL I HAVE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
02:40:15PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
02:40:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HI, ADAM.
02:40:20PM GOOD TO SEE YOU.
02:40:21PM PEOPLE LISTENING OR REVIEW THIS, 10,000-SQUARE-FOOT OF
02:40:27PM CITY-OWNED PROPERTY.
02:40:27PM CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT YOUR PLANNING IN THE INTEREST OF
02:40:32PM THE CITY TO GIVE AWAY 10,000.
02:40:34PM >> RESPECTFULLY, NOT CITY-OWNED PROPERTY.
02:40:38PM THE PLATTED RIGHT-OF-WAY IS HELD BY A PRIVATE PROPERTY
02:40:42PM OWNER.
02:40:42PM AND I THINK STANDARD FOR CONSIDERATION IS GENERAL PUBLIC LAW
02:40:47PM FOR STANDARD.
02:40:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EXACTLY.
02:40:49PM WHAT IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS.
02:40:52PM >> OUTLINED IN THE 1978 ATTORNEY GENERAL POSITION WHICH GOES
02:40:56PM TO THE FACT THIS IS LIKE A SITUATION.
02:40:59PM WHERE THE CONTEXT OR THE DECISION IS -- AND I REALIZE THAT
02:41:03PM WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST.
02:41:04PM YOU KNOW, THE -- THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THE FORMAL
02:41:09PM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
02:41:10PM I MET WITH THEM AND THEY BELIEVE IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST
02:41:14PM TO CLOSE IT.
02:41:14PM SO THE OVERARCHING ORGANIZATION THAT REPRESENTS ALL THE
02:41:20PM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS HAVE LOOKED AT IT.
02:41:21PM MET WITH THEM AND SENT YOU A LETTER AND THEY SUPPORT IT.
02:41:24PM AS FAR AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC, HOPEFULLY IT IS REASON ME
02:41:30PM REPRESENTED THERE.
02:41:30PM THE -- YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTIES -- THE RIVERSIDE PROPERTY,
02:41:35PM THE OLD NONCONFORMING BUILDING WAS EFFECTIVELY HANGING OVER
02:41:39PM THE SEAWALL.
02:41:40PM THAT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY IS NEARLY 90 FEET DEEP.
02:41:44PM HARD TO SEE SCALE, BUT THE PROPERTY IS NOT THAT HUGE.
02:41:47PM SOME RECOMBINING IT.
02:41:50PM YOU KNOW, IT IS A 30-FOOT PLATTED ROADWAY AND THE -- I THINK
02:41:57PM THAT SAME A.G.'S OPINION SAYS THAT CONSIDERATIONS LIKE THE
02:42:01PM CITY WON'T HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT ANYMORE IS CONSIDERATION
02:42:05PM WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY SELF-EVIDENCE.
02:42:08PM THE -- THE PARALLEL INFRASTRUCTURE.
02:42:10PM THERE IS ALSO SANITARY INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH HERE.
02:42:14PM IT WAS IN PLACE TO SERVE THIS LARGE DANCE HALL.
02:42:17PM AND THE GAS STATION THAT WE ALSO -- SO, YOU KNOW, WE INTEND
02:42:25PM TO COMBINE THE PROPERTY TO CLEAN IT UP, TO -- TO SECURE IT
02:42:30PM IN A WAY THAT THERE IS NO LONGER SOMEBODY ACCESSING THE
02:42:33PM NEIGHBORHOOD DAILY.
02:42:34PM AND ILLEGAL DUMPING GOING ON AND TO START TO, YOU KNOW, LOOK
02:42:39PM AT WAYS TO ACTIVATE IT.
02:42:41PM SO WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC POINT YET, BUT I THINK THAT WE
02:42:45PM CAN LOOK AT HOW SUCCESSFUL HAVING A PLACE TO COALESCE IS
02:42:51PM THAT -- THE NORTH END OF THE RIVERWALK AND, YOU KNOW,
02:42:56PM UNDERSTAND THAT WE WILL COME UP WITH A GOOD, YOU KNOW, A
02:42:59PM GOOD PATH FORWARD FOR THE PROPERTY AND KEEP THE NEIGHBORHOOD
02:43:02PM IN THE LOOP.
02:43:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I GUESS -- I GUESS PART OF MY CONCERN,
02:43:09PM AGAIN, IS STILL GIVING AWAY AN ASSET.
02:43:11PM I FULLY BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE BEST INTENT.
02:43:13PM LET'S SAY YOU ARE NO LONGER THE PROPERTY OWNER TEN YEARS
02:43:16PM FROM NOW AND IT HAVEN'T BEEN DEVELOPED AND WHAT DO WE --
02:43:19PM WHAT HAVE WE GIVEN AWAY FOR WHAT.
02:43:22PM THOSE ARE MY BIGGEST QUESTIONS.
02:43:23PM ARE REGIVING AWAY SOMETHING THAT -- LET'S SAY YOU ARE NOT
02:43:27PM AROUND FOR WHATEVER REASON.
02:43:28PM WHO HAS OWNERSHIP OF THAT PROPERTY?
02:43:30PM >> I THINK THE MORE IMPORTANT GENERAL WELFARE PERSPECTIVE ON
02:43:33PM IT IS I OWN THE PROPERTY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET THAT
02:43:37PM MY PREDECESSOR TITLED AND PLAT IT FOR MY BENEFIT.
02:43:42PM THE UTILITY DEPARTMENTS HAVE BOTH TOLD YOU THEY DON'T NEED
02:43:45PM THE UTILITIES THERE.
02:43:46PM IT IS JUST ADDITIONAL THINGS TO MAINTAIN.
02:43:48PM SO THERE IS -- YOU KNOW IT IS AN UNSAFE, YOU KNOW,
02:43:55PM TRANSPORTATION ROUTE.
02:43:55PM THERE IS NO PUBLIC INTEREST YET IN IT BEING USED AS A
02:43:59PM RIGHT-OF-WAY.
02:43:59PM I THINK THAT IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.
02:44:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOES IT -- SO ARE THOSE PROPERTIES
02:44:06PM DEVELOPABLE, SAY, FOR HOUSING WITHOUT THIS PROPERTY
02:44:10PM COMBINED?
02:44:11PM IS THAT PROPERTY USABLE STANDING ALONE WITHOUT THE
02:44:14PM RIGHT-OF-WAY?
02:44:15PM >> I AM NOT SURE OF THAT.
02:44:17PM IT IS BE COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE PROPERTY AT THE CORNER OF
02:44:21PM NEBRASKA AND A BRIDGE.
02:44:22PM I GUESS WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES, WHAT -- WHAT VISION DO WE
02:44:28PM HAVE FOR THAT.
02:44:28PM AND WHAT MEANING CAN IT HAVE TO REACTIVATE THE HISTORIC
02:44:33PM THEATRE AND BEING -- YOU KNOW, LIFTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
02:44:36PM I THINK THAT IS A QUESTION I WOULD ASK.
02:44:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
02:44:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA AND COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
02:44:44PM >>LUIS VIERA: AS A SEED ISSUE, I COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR
02:44:55PM HELPING SULPHUR SPRINGS.
02:44:56PM THREE IN FOUR CHILDREN IN AREA LIVING IN POVERTY.
02:45:00PM A CITY IN NEED.
02:45:02PM I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION AT THE END OF THE DAY REGARDING
02:45:05PM SULPHUR SPRINGS IN THE BUDGET.
02:45:06PM WE TALKED ABOUT IT ON DIFFERENT ISSUES.
02:45:10PM CRA AND CITY OF TAMPA, ETC.
02:45:12PM I WANT TO SALUTE YOU FOR THAT.
02:45:14PM LIKE YOU THAT CAN MOVE THE NEED IN PRIVATE SECTOR OF AREAS
02:45:20PM LIKE SULPHUR SPRINGS.
02:45:21PM >> THANK YOU.
02:45:21PM AND I WON'T GET GOING ON THE POOL.
02:45:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
02:45:27PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: AND I WANT TO GET BEARINGS WEST.
02:45:33PM THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST.
02:45:34PM THE BRIDGE WHERE THE OLD THEATRE USED TO BE.
02:45:37PM >> YES, SIR.
02:45:38PM THE HARBOR CLUB ACROSS FROM THE DOG TRACK.
02:45:41PM YES.
02:45:41PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE CITY -- WHAT IS THE OBJECTION THE
02:45:45PM CITY HAS?
02:45:46PM WHAT IS THAT UNDER -- WHAT -- WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE --
02:45:52PM I SAW TWO BIG AREAS THERE IN THE MIDDLE.
02:45:54PM >> RORY JONES, CITY OF TAMPA, WATER DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR.
02:45:58PM REALLY THE OBJECTION IS THAT IN THE FUTURE, THINGS GET BUILT
02:46:01PM OVER.
02:46:02PM THE EXAMPLES YOU SAW WERE THINGS THAT OCCUR DOWN THE ROAD
02:46:06PM THAT CAUSED ISSUES WITH US.
02:46:08PM INCREASE OUR COST.
02:46:09PM INCREASE OUR LIABILITY OF RISK IF MAIN BREAKS NEARBY
02:46:13PM STRUCTURES.
02:46:13PM IT WASN'T -- IT -- WE ARE NOT -- WE DON'T OBJECT TO BE THIS.
02:46:18PM WE APPRECIATE YOU MAKING THIS IMPROVEMENT.
02:46:20PM AND WE CAN REMOVE THIS OBJECTION BASED ON OUR RECENT
02:46:26PM PROPOSAL THAT WE HAVE SUBMITTED WITH THIS -- WITH THIS
02:46:29PM RESOLUTION.
02:46:29PM IT JUST HAS A REVERTER TIME FRAME WITH IT.
02:46:33PM WE DON'T WANT TO STICK OUR RATE PAYERS DOWN THE ROAD WITH
02:46:37PM ISSUE AND WE SUPPORT AND REMOVE THAT OBJECTION WITH THE TIME
02:46:40PM REVERTER.
02:46:41PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: IF I MAY CONTINUE.
02:46:43PM ONLY ONE THAT YOU BROUGHT UP THAT THAT COMES TO MIND THAT WE
02:46:46PM DID IT.
02:46:46PM IT WAS A BIG JOB.
02:46:47PM A WAREHOUSE CLOSE TO NEBRASKA, NOT TOO FAR FROM THERE, ABOUT
02:46:52PM FOUR OR FIVE BLOCKS.
02:46:53PM HE SIGNED AN AFFIDAVIT IF ANY TIME WANTED TO BREAK THROUGH
02:46:58PM AT THEIR COST, NOT OURS TO DO THE REPAIRS.
02:47:00PM BUT HE WOULD PAY FOR THE OPENING OF THE HOLE BECAUSE IT WAS
02:47:04PM CITY PROPERTY AT ONE TIME.
02:47:05PM THAT IS HOW IT CAME TOGETHER.
02:47:08PM A CONTRACT FOR WAREHOUSE FOR PLUMBING.
02:47:11PM BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO BUILD THE WAREHOUSE WITH THE
02:47:14PM PERMITTING.
02:47:14PM A STRIP OF LAND UNDER THAT BASS ALL DUE TO THE SEWER
02:47:19PM DEPARTMENT AND MADE A COMMITMENT BETWEEN THOSE TWO ENTITIES
02:47:21PM THAT YOU HAVE HERE.
02:47:23PM IF YOU GO IN AND FIX SOMEBODY, TO DEVELOP -- I DON'T
02:47:26PM REMEMBER -- ALL -- I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT I REMEMBER ALL OF
02:47:29PM IT, BUT I REMEMBER THAT ONLY ONE THAT I KNOW OF.
02:47:32PM THAT WAS IT.
02:47:33PM >> AND HE UNDERSTAND THIS IS MONEY OUT OF YOUR POCKET,
02:47:39PM RIGHT.
02:47:39PM NOT YET TO THE STAGE WHERE THAT IS POSSIBLE.
02:47:42PM THAT IS WHY WE DID ADD AN ADDITIONAL SIX MONTHS ON THERE
02:47:46PM WITH HOPES THAT THAT WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO YOU AND THEN
02:47:50PM REMOVE IT.
02:47:50PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT IS WHAT I REMEMBER.
02:47:52PM THE TWO PARTIES CAME TOGETHER AND WORKED IT OUT.
02:47:54PM I NEVER WAS INVOLVED BUT I REMEMBER THAT DECADES AGO LIKE IT
02:48:00PM WAS YESTERDAY.
02:48:00PM >> THE LANGUAGE HE IS REFERRING TO IS IN THE ORDINANCE
02:48:03PM TODAY.
02:48:04PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I CAN TELL YOU WHAT IT SAYS IF YOU WANT
02:48:06PM TO LOOK AT IT.
02:48:07PM >> I MEAN, TODAY'S EXAMPLE.
02:48:10PM THERE IS NO EXAMPLE THAT I KNOW OF IN THE WAY THIS ORDINANCE
02:48:13PM IS WORDED AND THE WAY ANY ORDINANCE SHOULD BE WORDED.
02:48:16PM NOTHING WILL BE BUILT OVER THIS WATER LINE UNTIL IT IS
02:48:19PM REMOVED OR PRIVATE.
02:48:22PM SO NOBODY IS PROPOSE NAG WILL EVER HAPPEN WITH THE PARKING
02:48:26PM GARAGE BEING ON TOP OF A WATER MAIN IS A COMPLETELY
02:48:29PM DIFFERENT SITUATION.
02:48:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
02:48:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MY QUESTION.
02:48:34PM I WANTED TO MAKE SURE.
02:48:35PM WHEN WE READ THIS -- WE READ THIS AND ABANDON THE PROPERTY.
02:48:39PM THE CONCERNS OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
02:48:43PM WHEN WE READ THIS, CORRECT?
02:48:45PM LAWYER TEAM.
02:48:46PM >>RON WIGGINTON: RON WIGGINTON, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
02:48:55PM YES, THE WAY I DRAFTED THIS ORDINANCE.
02:48:57PM I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WATER DEPARTMENT DOES HAVE AN
02:49:00PM OBJECTION, FIRST AND FOREMOST.
02:49:01PM HOWEVER, IF COUNCIL OVERRULES THAT OBJECTION, THEY ARE
02:49:06PM COMFORTABLE TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPER 12 MONTHS IN WHICH THEY
02:49:09PM HAVE TO REMOVE THE WATER LINE AND FAILURE TO DO THAT WOULD
02:49:12PM MAKE THE ORDINANCE AND VOID AND REVERT BACK TO THE
02:49:15PM RIGHT-OF-WAY.

03:17:24PM THIS RIGHT-OF-WAY IS ONLY MEASURING 25 FEET WIDE.

03:17:37PM UTILITY, WATER, SEWER AND EVERYTHING IT BECOMES VERY
03:17:40PM SUBSTANDARD.

03:17:49PM THE PROPERTY LOCATED HERE IS THE ONE THAT FILED THE

03:18:51PM ISSUE THIS IS A VACATION OF A REMNANT OF EAST FIFTH AVENUE
03:18:57PM AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT TO YOU.
03:18:58PM THE FACT IS NO ONE FOR DECADES HAVE WANTED IT, SOUGHT IT,
03:19:03PM NEED IT OR USE IT.
03:19:04PM A LEFTOVER OR FORGOTTEN LITTLE TINY REMNANT OF A DISTANCED
03:19:08PM ROADWAY NEVER CONNECTED OR WILL NEVER BE CONNECTED.
03:19:12PM A PIECE OF LAND THAT GOES NOWHERE.
03:19:14PM AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SINGLE COMPLAINT RAISED IN 20
03:19:19PM PLUS YEARS ABOUT THIS LITTLE PIECE OF PROPERTY.
03:19:21PM SO AS INDICATED TO YOU, IT IS IN THE YBOR AREA.
03:19:26PM AND IT IS BETWEEN ADAMO AND EAST 7th TO THE NORTH OF THE
03:19:30PM RAIL LINE AND NORTH 37th STREET IS TO THE EAST.
03:19:33PM YOU CAN SEE YELLOW RECTANGLE WHICH IS THE SEGMENT OF LAND
03:19:38PM THAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU TODAY.
03:19:39PM LOOKING A LITTLE CLOSER, ONE IMPORTANT ELEMENT IS THAT YOUR
03:19:44PM HOPE VILLAGE IS DIRECTLY NEXT DOOR ON THE RIGHT.
03:19:47PM THAT IS WHAT THE LITTLE SQUARES ARE ON THE RIGHT, WHICH IS
03:19:50PM TO THE EAST.
03:19:51PM AND, AGAIN, SHOWING YOU THE AREA TO BE VACATED.
03:19:54PM AND A LITTLE CLOSER.
03:19:55PM SUBJECT SITE -- AGAIN, THE HOPE CENTER IS ON RIGHT.
03:19:59PM VERY IMPORTANTLY, THE SAME APPLICANT OWNS TO THE NORTH AND
03:20:02PM TO THE SOUTH.
03:20:02PM SO WE HAVE CONTROL OF BOTH THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.
03:20:06PM NOT ALL THE SOUTH, I SHOW YOU AS APPLICANT, THEY OWN PART OF
03:20:09PM THE SOUTH, WHICH IS PART OF THE ISSUE RAISED FROM -- WITH
03:20:12PM RESPECT TO MISS CALLOWAY.
03:20:14PM AND IT HAS BEEN GATED, THAT'S CORRECT.
03:20:16PM THERE IS NOT ACCESS THROUGH AND WE SUBMIT A SURVEY, OF
03:20:23PM COURSE, TO THE AREA.
03:20:23PM NO MORE RIGHT-OF-WAY TO THE EAST AND THE WEST.
03:20:25PM LOOKING A LITTLE FURTHER OUT.
03:20:27PM IT WAS ORIGINALLY PART OF FIFTH AVENUE WHICH SOMEBODY 34th
03:20:31PM STREET.
03:20:31PM AND, AGAIN, I AM SHOWING YOU THE SIGHT HERE EITHER FURTHER
03:20:36PM BACK.
03:20:36PM ONLY ROADWAY OF FIFTH.
03:20:38PM GOES NOWHERE ELSE.
03:20:40PM NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
03:20:42PM IMPOSSIBLE TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
03:20:44PM NOW LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE ON NORTH 37th, NO ACCESS.
03:20:48PM AS YOU SEE TO THE NORTH, THERE IS A RAILWAY LINE.
03:20:51PM YOU CAN SEE THAT THE TREES AND NATURAL GROWTH HAS BEEN THERE
03:20:54PM FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
03:20:55PM AND, AGAIN, HOPE VILLAGE IS ON THE EAST SIDE.
03:21:03PM ON THE VERY NORTH PART OF THAT HAS BEEN CLOSED AND ON THE
03:21:05PM RAIL LINE.
03:21:06PM AS MISS CALLOWAY INDICATED ONLY 25-FOOT WIDTH OF ROADWAY
03:21:13PM WHICH IS UNIMPROVED.
03:21:14PM NOT A ROADWAY BUT A PAPER ROADWAY SUBSTANDARD TO BE USED
03:21:19PM ANYWAY FOR ANY USE.
03:21:21PM NO ACCESS FOR DECADES ALONG NORTH 37th.
03:21:28PM THIS IS WHERE THE ROADWAY.
03:21:31PM IT IS CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO BE USED BY ANYONE.
03:21:34PM BOTTOM OF NORTH 37th TO SHOW IT HAVEN'T BEEN ACCESSED
03:21:38PM THROUGH USE.
03:21:39PM A BIG DO NOT ENTER SIGN AND WILL NOT OCCUR AND NO ONE HAS
03:21:43PM INTEREST.
03:21:44PM HISTORICALLY 2017, 2010, 2002.
03:21:48PM THIS IS -- THIS IS 1998.
03:21:50PM HISTORY IN TERMS OF NO USE.
03:21:53PM AGAIN, NO ONE WANTS IT.
03:21:54PM NO ONE HAS USED IT.
03:21:56PM SERVES NO PURPOSE.
03:21:57PM NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
03:21:59PM AND ALSO INDICATES ZONE SINCE THE 2000s.
03:22:03PM NOW WITH GREAT RESPECT TO MISS CALLOWAY, INDICATED STAFF
03:22:08PM CONCERN WITH SOUTHERN PARCEL AND WE OWN THAT.
03:22:10PM UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME AND THE SAME -- SAME GENTLEMAN OWNS
03:22:14PM BOTH PROPERTIES.
03:22:15PM WE CAN CERTAINLY WORK WITH THE CITY IN AN AGREEMENT THAT
03:22:19PM THAT PARCEL NOT BE SOLD WITHOUT THE NORTH PROPERTY BEING
03:22:23PM SOLD WHICH MAKES SENSE BECAUSE ONE OPERATION ANYWAY.
03:22:26PM SO WE ARE OPEN TO THAT.
03:22:27PM THE OTHER ISSUE -- AND THAT IS SHOWING THE CONNECTION
03:22:31PM BETWEEN STAFF REPORT SAYS THE OBJECTION IS -- IS ALSO THAT
03:22:39PM MAY BE USED AS A ROADWAY CONNECTING 36 AND 37 FOR FUTURE
03:22:43PM MULTIMODAL USES WHICH WE FIND A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT BECAUSE
03:22:50PM I DON'T SEE WHY ANYONE WOULD USE 37th.
03:22:52PM I SHOWED YOU ALREADY IT HAVEN'T BEEN USED AND CUT OFF, MORE
03:22:56PM IMPORTANTLY THE HOPE CENTER IS A HIGHLY SECURED AREA.
03:22:59PM BARBED WIRE ALL THE WAY AROUND.
03:23:02PM UNFORTUNATE FAMILIES AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAVING DIFFICULTIES
03:23:07PM WITH THEIR LIVING SITUATION.
03:23:09PM SO THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS MORE PEOPLE AND VEHICLES
03:23:13PM HAVING ACCESS ALL ALONG HOPE CENTER AND HOPE VILLAGE WHERE
03:23:20PM THEY ARE TRYING KEEP THAT SECURE AND THIS WILL KEEP IT
03:23:23PM TREMENDOUSLY SECURE.
03:23:25PM TECO EASEMENT FOR AN OVERHEAD WIRE THAT IS MOVED.
03:23:30PM WE PROVIDE EASEMENT FOR THAT ALL THE TIME.
03:23:33PM NATURAL RESOURCES REFER TO CHAPTER 7 FOR DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS
03:23:38PM AGAIN IN SUMMARY, NO ONE FOR DECADES HAVE USED IT, SOUGHT IT
03:23:43PM OR NEED IT.
03:23:44PM ONE LITTLE PIECE OF REMNANTS, A LEFTOVER VESTIGE OF A PIECE
03:23:49PM OF LAND THAT GOES NOWHERE.
03:23:52PM NOT A SINGLE COMPLAINT RAISED IN OVER TWO DECADES.
03:23:55PM WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.
03:23:57PM WE BELIEVE IF WE HAVE YOUR SUPPORT, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH
03:24:00PM THE CITY STAFF TO PUT TOGETHER AN AGREEMENT OR TWO TO ALLOW
03:24:03PM THIS TO OCCUR, AND WILL BE A POSITIVE MOVING FORWARD.
03:24:08PM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
03:24:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN AND COUNCILWOMAN
03:24:16PM HENDERSON.
03:24:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN YOU PUT THE OVERHEAD AND SHOW THE
03:24:19PM OVERHEAD OF THE PROPERTY?
03:24:21PM >> SHOW WHAT?
03:24:23PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE OVERHEAD PROPERTY -- YOUR PROPERTY.
03:24:25PM TECH DEPARTMENT.
03:24:27PM >> A NIGHTTIME SHOT.
03:24:29PM [LAUGHTER]
03:24:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TODD PRESSMAN IS TRYING TO MAKE MY SPOT AS
03:24:33PM A COMEDIAN.
03:24:34PM >> THERE WE GO.
03:24:35PM OKAY, LET'S SEE.
03:24:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT ONE RECEIPT THERE.
03:24:38PM SO YOU -- YOU.
03:24:41PM YOUR -- THE PERSON YOU REPRESENT OWNS THE THREE FOLIOS
03:24:46PM UNDERNEATH THE YELLOW BOX ADJACENT TO 37th, ALL THREE OF
03:24:50PM THOSE.
03:24:50PM >> YES, OWNED ALL THE NORTH AND MY ORIENTATION TO THE NORTH,
03:24:55PM THOSE THREE, CORRECT.
03:24:56PM >> VERY GOOD.
03:24:57PM WE HAVE NOT -- THERE IS NOT ANY PROPERTY THAT WILL BE
03:25:00PM ABANDONING OR ISOLATED?
03:25:04PM GO BACK TO THAT ONE THERE.
03:25:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT WAS STAFF'S CONCERN?
03:25:12PM NO, NO, KEEP GOING.
03:25:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: KEEP GOING.
03:25:15PM >> THE STAFF'S CONCERN AS I UNDERSTAND IT WITH RESPECT TO
03:25:19PM MISS CALLOWAY THAT THESE PARCELS WOULD BE SOLD ON THEIR OWN
03:25:28PM AND SENIOR CITIZEN THE ACCESS FOR THAT PARCEL WILL HAVE TO
03:25:30PM EXIST ON THE SMALL ROAD TO THE RIGHT.
03:25:33PM 37.
03:25:34PM SO WHAT I AM SUGGEST SOMETHING.
03:25:37PM >> WE HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
03:25:38PM WHY AREN'T THOSE ALL THREE PARCELS OF CONCERN.
03:25:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHY JUST TWO OUT OF THOSE THREE?
03:25:53PM >> YOU LOOK AT THE STAFF CONCERN PARCEL, THAT IS THE ONLY
03:25:55PM PARCEL THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE.
03:25:58PM THIS PARCEL HERE AND HERE IS THE ONLY ONE HERE.
03:26:02PM THIS PARCEL IS THIS OUTLINE HERE.
03:26:04PM THEY HAVE ACCESS TO 36th STREET WHICH IS FULLY PAVED.
03:26:08PM THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A PORTION TO THIS STREET THAT IS ALSO A
03:26:12PM 50-FOOT WIDTH.
03:26:13PM A 50-FOOT WIDTH.
03:26:15PM 50 FOOT OF RIGHT-OF-WAY THEY WANT TO VACATE.
03:26:18PM THIS PARCEL ONLY HAS ACCESS TO THAT PARCEL.
03:26:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL THREE FOLIOS.
03:26:24PM NOT JUST TWO.
03:26:25PM >> THIS ONE AND THIS ONE.
03:26:27PM THESE TWO ONLY.
03:26:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THREE FOLIOS, NOT JUST THE TWO.
03:26:32PM GOTCHA.
03:26:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
03:26:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK: DON'T GO ANYWHERE, ITS ONE MORE QUESTION FOR
03:26:40PM YOU.
03:26:40PM MR. PRESSMAN SAID THERE HAVE BEEN NO COMPLAINTS.
03:26:42PM YOU SAID THIS ALL ORIGINATED FROM A COMPLAINT.
03:26:45PM CAN YOU TALK A BIT ABOUT THE COMPLAINT HISTORY FOR THIS
03:26:48PM PROPERTY?
03:26:48PM >> WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THIS PROPERTY IS THE NEIGHBOR NEXT DOOR
03:26:51PM HAD PUT IN A CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINT THAT THE OWNER --
03:26:55PM THAT THE PROPERTY, AS YOU REMEMBER, THE PICTURE THAT ROSS
03:26:57PM HAD PUT UP SHOWS THIS IS DATED HERE.
03:27:01PM AND THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN GATED AND FENCED IN.
03:27:05PM THE COMPLAINT WAS THERE WERE OBJECTS OBSTRUCTING THE
03:27:11PM RIGHT-OF-WAY AND THE COMPLAINT THAT WAS COMPLETELY REQUEST.
03:27:13PM THE RIGHT-OF-WAY MAY NOT BE UNIMPROVED BUT PUBLIC
03:27:18PM RIGHT-OF-WAY.
03:27:19PM AND FORECAST, CASS STREET.
03:27:23PM YOU TALK OF PROPERTY WE HAD.
03:27:26PM TRASK STREET.
03:27:28PM IT USED TO BE A PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
03:27:30PM USED TO BE A ROADWAY THAT THE INTERSTATE DEADEND TO.
03:27:34PM THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING WITH THAT.
03:27:37PM IT DEAD-ENDS TO THE INTERSTATE.
03:27:40PM NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
03:27:41PM D.O.T. HAS PAID MILLION OF DOLLARS TO PUT TRASK STREET
03:27:46PM THROUGH.
03:27:47PM PLANNING IT ONE TIME MAY NOT HAVE NEEDED, BUT FUTURE
03:27:50PM PLANNING YOU NEVER KNOW IF YOU WERE DOING NEED IT.
03:27:52PM AND THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO RESERVE RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR
03:27:56PM THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
03:27:57PM BUT IN THIS INSTANCE, THIS PROPERTY IS ONLY A MATTER OF WHEN
03:28:00PM IT WILL BE SOLD.
03:28:01PM NOT "IF" BUT "WHEN."
03:28:05PM BECAUSE NOBODY LIVES FOREVER.
03:28:06PM THAT PROPERTY WON'T ALWAYS BE OWNED BY HIM.
03:28:08PM IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS PROPERTY ALWAYS HAS ACCESS TO A
03:28:12PM 50-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY.
03:28:13PM NOT A SUBSTANDARD 25-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY.
03:28:16PM 50-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY.
03:28:17PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
03:28:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
03:28:22PM YES?
03:28:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. PRESSMAN, WHY IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
03:28:28PM FOR THE CITY TO GIVE AWAY -- I HAD THE LAST QUESTION OF THE
03:28:31PM LAST VACATION.
03:28:32PM I AM ALWAYS SKEPTICAL OF GIVING AWAY PROPERTY FOR NOTHING,
03:28:36PM UNLESS IT IS IN THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST.
03:28:37PM WHY WOULD IT BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST TO GIVE A PRIVATE
03:28:40PM LAND HOLD THEY ARE LAND?
03:28:43PM >> WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, IF I MAY -- I NEED TO CORRECT THE
03:28:46PM RECORD, BECAUSE MISS CALLOWAY IS CORRECT.
03:28:48PM THERE WAS A COMPLAINT MADE BY THE NEIGHBOR.
03:28:50PM SUBSEQUENTLY MY -- MY CLIENT HAS COMMUNICATED TO ME THEY HAD
03:28:55PM COMMUNICATION WITH THAT NEIGHBOR.
03:28:56PM I HAVEN'T.
03:28:57PM AND THAT THEY WERE NOT IN OBJECTION.
03:28:59PM I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE HERE TODAY, BUT THAT IS WHAT
03:29:02PM I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIRD HAND.
03:29:04PM I DO WANT TO CORRECT THAT RECORD.
03:29:05PM TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I REALLY DON'T -- I HEAR YOUR
03:29:13PM QUESTION OF SERVING THE PUBLIC, BUT I WILL SUGGEST TO YOU
03:29:16PM THIS IS AN UNIQUE SITUATION WHERE THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY
03:29:20PM WHATSOEVER OF PUBLIC USE OF THIS PARCEL AND THIS REMNANT
03:29:26PM LAND.
03:29:26PM IT WAS CLEARLY PLANNED TO BE A ROADWAY.
03:29:29PM IF WE GO BACK TONIGHT POWERPOINT.
03:29:38PM A SITUATION THAT MISS CALLOWAY REFERRED TO THIS MAY BE A
03:29:46PM SITUATION.
03:29:46PM BUT HERE WE ARE TWO COMPLETE BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY SIDE AND
03:29:53PM NONE UPON THE OTHER SIDE.
03:29:54PM THERE IS ACTUALLY NO -- AS FAR AS WE CAN SEE, IT IS VERY
03:29:58PM CLEAR, THERE IS NO POSSIBLE PUBLIC PURPOSE HERE.
03:30:01PM THE HAS BEEN USED AND OPERATE BY THIS LANDOWNER FOR MORE
03:30:05PM THAN 20 YEARS WITH NO COMPLAINT UNTIL VERY RECENTLY.
03:30:10PM SO I WOULD SUGGEST TOWING THAT THE CRITERIA -- I DON'T GET A
03:30:15PM VOTE HERE, IS THAT -- IS A QUESTION OF OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES
03:30:19PM AND OTHER ISSUES TO BE EVALUATED ON WHY THIS SHOULD BE
03:30:24PM VACATED.
03:30:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SEEMS TO ME THAT THE BUILDINGS COME AND
03:30:29PM GO.
03:30:29PM AND EVEN THAT HOPE VILLAGE PROPERTY CAN BE REDEVELOPED.
03:30:34PM AWFUL LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.
03:30:41PM >> QUESTION FOR FUTURE POTENTIAL USE AND CLEARLY NOT A
03:30:44PM POTENTIAL ROADWAY HERE.
03:30:45PM BUT IF YOU APPLY THAT TO EVERY LAND USE VACATING, THEN FLOSS
03:30:50PM REASON TO BRING ANY LAND USE VACATING FORWARD.
03:30:53PM THERE ARE REASONS AND FUNCTIONS FOR VACATING AND WE BELIEVE
03:30:57PM WE HAVE MET THEM.
03:30:57PM THANK YOU.
03:30:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
03:30:59PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.
03:31:01PM NOT, I HAVE SOMEBODY REGISTERED, BRIAN.
03:31:05PM IS BRIAN ON?
03:31:08PM >> I AM.
03:31:08PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HELLO, BRIAN.
03:31:09PM STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
03:31:11PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIRMAN AND TAMPA COUNCILMEMBERS.
03:31:14PM BY REPRESENT HERITAGE SHORES, WHICH OWNS THE PROPERTY
03:31:17PM DIRECTLY ABUTTING THE SUBJECT RIGHT-OF-WAY RIGHT-OF-WAY TO
03:31:22PM THE SOUTH.
03:31:22PM I'M HERE TO VOICE MY OPPOSITION TO THE PETITION TO VACATE.
03:31:25PM MY CLIENT'S PRESENCE IS TO KEEP FIFTH AVENUE OPEN TO
03:31:28PM CONTINUE TO ACCESS NORTH OF THE PROPERTY AND PARK AROUND
03:31:31PM THAT WAREHOUSE.
03:31:32PM THIS ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHERE MY CLIENT WOULD OBJECT TO BE
03:31:37PM THIS MOTION, IT IS IMPORTANT UNDER HOW WE GOT HERE TODAY.
03:31:42PM TO THE NORTH, IT IS PETITION HERE AND OWNED BY 36 YBOR
03:31:48PM COMMERCIAL YARD INC THE PROPERTY OWNER USE THIS PROPERTY AS
03:31:57PM A JUNK YARD AND TRUCK PARK.
03:31:59PM THEY POLLUTED THEIR PARTY ALREADY REQUIRING MONITORING WELLS
03:32:04PM ON MY CLIENT'S PROPERTY.
03:32:07PM THE PETITIONER HAS CLOSED OFF FIFTH AVENUE TO PLACE JUNK
03:32:12PM CARS ON THE PROPERTY ILLEGALLY EXPANDING ITS JUNKYARD ON THE
03:32:16PM CITY PROPERTY.
03:32:16PM NOT ONLY HAVE THEY CLOSED IT OFF.
03:32:23PM AND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
03:32:25PM NOT ONLY THE STREET BUT PUT THE BARRICADES OVER MY CLIENT'S
03:32:29PM BUILDINGS THAT HAVE CAUSED DRAINAGE ISSUES.
03:32:31PM CAUSED SOME RUST ISSUES ON THE PANELS.
03:32:40PM MY CLIENTS HAD TO PLAY TO CLEAN AND REGRADE THE LAND WITH
03:32:44PM FILL DIRT AND A BACK HOE.
03:32:46PM AND MY CLIENT HAS VERY LITTLE RECOURSE, BECAUSE THE PROPERTY
03:32:49PM OWNER IS AN ENTITY THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
03:32:51PM IT IS FOR THAT REASON WE FILED A CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINT
03:32:55PM AND ONE OF THE FEW AVENUES WE HAVE TO GET THIS AREA CLEAR
03:32:58PM AND TO GET THE JUNK AND THE CONCRETE BARRIERS OFF OF MY
03:33:03PM CLIENT'S BUILDING.
03:33:04PM WE FILED THIS PETITION, AND THE NEIGHBOR FILED THIS TO
03:33:08PM RESOLVE THE CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE.
03:33:10PM I AM ASKING THE CITY COUNCIL TO NOT AWARD THIS BAD ACTOR BY
03:33:14PM GRANTING THE PETITION TO VACATE.
03:33:16PM MY CLIENT HAS CONCERNED SOUTH HALF OF 5th AVENUE REVERTS TO
03:33:19PM IT, IT WILL BE UNDER THE FLORIDA LAW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
03:33:22PM CLEANUP OF WHAT WE EXPECT IS CONTAMINATED PROPERTY, BECAUSE
03:33:26PM THE REMAINDER OF THE PETITIONER'S PROPERTY IS CONTAMINATED.
03:33:31PM FOR THOSE REASONS, MY CLIENT WILL URGE THE COUNCIL TO DENY
03:33:35PM THE PETITION AND MAINTAIN THE BUFFER BETWEEN THE PROPERTIES
03:33:40PM AND ALLOW FOR OUTSIDE DRAINAGE AND PREVENT POLLUTION TO
03:33:46PM OTHERS.
03:33:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
03:33:46PM ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK?
03:33:49PM IF NOT, MR. PRESSMAN, DO YOU HAVE REBUTTAL.
03:33:52PM >> I WANT TO SAY THAT I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO THE NEIGHBOR ON
03:33:55PM THE SOUTH WAS WHAT I COMMUNICATED WAS THIRD HAND FROM MY
03:33:58PM CLIENT OF WHAT HIS COMMUNICATIONS HAVE BEEN.
03:34:00PM SO I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR AND PRECISE ON THAT.
03:34:03PM THANK YOU.

03:34:35PM FAMILIAR WRITTEN BY JULIA COLE THAT SETS FORTH THE STANDARD
03:34:40PM OF REVIEWS FOR APPLICATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY.
03:34:42PM SECOND PAGE IS THE CRITERIA.
03:34:44PM I WILL GIVE A COPY FOR MR. PRESSMAN AND A COPY TO THE CLERK

03:36:30PM ADMINISTRATION, JUSTIN VASKE WITH LEGAL AND A COUPLE OF MOW
03:36:34PM PIT STAFF MEMBERS TO ADDRESS ITEMS 115 AND 116.
03:36:39PM THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROJECT AND A GRANT ASSOCIATED WITH
03:36:45PM IT THAT WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL IN 2022.
03:36:48PM THIS PROJECT IS UNOFFICIALLY CALLED THE WEST RIVERWALK
03:36:53PM PROJECT.
03:36:53PM AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT BUILDS OUT AN ENTIRE NETWORK BY
03:37:00PM ACTIVATING A RIVER AND INTRODUCING SAFER MULTIMODAL
03:37:04PM CONNECTED FEATURES ON ROOM, AND PARTS OF COLUMBUS AND
03:37:09PM OTHERS.
03:37:11PM WE HAVE A VERY DETAILED PRESENTATION ABOUT THIS PROJECT AT
03:37:14PM THE JUNE 20 MEETING.
03:37:15PM I'LL BE ANTICIPATE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DETAILS THIS
03:37:20PM MORNING.
03:37:20PM YOU HAVE HEARD FROM WALK-BIKE TAMPA.
03:37:24PM ADVOCACY GROUP, OF COURSE, THE MAYOR EMPHASIZED HOW THIS
03:37:29PM PROJECT WAS PLANNED IN ISOLATION.
03:37:31PM THE CONNECTOR PROJECT THAT CONNECTS TO OTHER PROBLEMS WITHIN
03:37:34PM THE AREA THAT ARE EITHER ACTIVE OR IN -- IN COMPLETION
03:37:40PM STAGES AS WE SPEAK.
03:37:42PM ON JUNE 20, YOU HEARD FROM THE CBAC AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION
03:37:48PM FOR THIS PROJECT.
03:37:49PM AND ALSO FROM THE WEST TAMPA CAC, THE CRA CAC CARLOS
03:37:58PM RECOMMENDED THEM AND SHARED HIS SUPPORT.
03:38:00PM AND MORE RECENTLY AGAIN, ADDING TO THE PROJECT AND TO
03:38:06PM HIGHLIGHT HOW THIS ISN'T IN ISOLATION.
03:38:08PM WE WORKED WITH OUR PARTNERS WITH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, AND
03:38:11PM PART OF YESTERDAY'S BUDGET APPROVAL, IT INCLUDED THE
03:38:15PM SIGNALIZATION OF ROME AND COLUMBUS THAT WILL BE FUNDS FROM
03:38:21PM IF THE COUNTY, TRANSFERRED TO THE CITY, AND THEN THE CITY
03:38:24PM WILL BUILD THAT SIGNAL AND THAT DOES, AGAIN, IMPACT AND
03:38:28PM ENHANCE THIS GROUP OF PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE WEST
03:38:32PM RIVERWALK.
03:38:33PM IT DOES IMPACT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BENEFITS IT.
03:38:38PM CERTAINLY MOVES OUR VISION ZERO AND MOBILITY GOALS FORWARD.
03:38:43PM AND IT -- AND ACTIVATES THE RIVER WHERE WE HAVE KEY
03:38:51PM AFFORDABLE HOUSE AND OTHER PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AS WELL IN THE
03:38:56PM WEST TAMPA, GRAND CENTRAL, U.T. AND ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS
03:39:01PM AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, A NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTOR FOR
03:39:06PM NEIGHBORHOODS NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE AND SOUTH OF THE
03:39:08PM INTERSTATE.
03:39:09PM AND NORTH OF KENNEDY AND SOUTH OF KENNEDY.

03:39:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
03:39:29PM I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BUT I WANT TO REITERATE
03:39:34PM THE REASONS I THINK THIS -- WHILE THE PROJECT IS EXCELLENT
03:39:38PM AND I THINK IT IS A GREAT PROJECT, WHILE -- WHY I DON'T
03:39:41PM THINK -- WHY -- I WOULD VOTE TOE REDUCE THE SCOPE OF THIS,
03:39:51PM AND REAPPLY TO THE GRANT AND REBID IT.
03:39:54PM THIS IS THE WAY I THINK IT SHOULD GO.
03:39:56PM REASON I BELIEVE THAT, WE STARTED WITH ADDS 24 MILLION
03:40:00PM GRANT.
03:40:00PM WE GOT $6 MILLION WHICH WAS 25% MATCH.
03:40:03PM 25% MATCH, VERY REASONABLE.
03:40:10PM NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT -- I BELIEVE -- I WILL ASK MR. ROGERO
03:40:17PM QUICKLY -- WHAT IS AGAIN IF YOU CAN JUST SIMPLY GO OVER THE
03:40:21PM COST NOW.
03:40:22PM AND $6 MILLION AND 25% MATCH.
03:40:31PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, MA'AM.
03:40:31PM GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN, COUNCIL.
03:40:34PM DENNIS ROGERO, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.
03:40:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK: NICE TO SEE YOU TWICE IN THE DAY.
03:40:42PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: TWICE AS LUCKY.
03:40:44PM NICE TO SEE YOU ALSO.
03:40:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU ARE WELCOME.
03:40:48PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: RIGHT.
03:40:49PM I HAVE SOME DASH VISUAL OF TWO THAT I WOULD LIKE TO RUN DOWN
03:40:52PM AGAIN.
03:40:52PM I AM A VISUAL PERSON WHERE I DON'T MIND.
03:41:02PM $57 MILLION OF CONCERNED SOURCES, $24 MILLION FOR THE GRANT
03:41:12PM AND COMMUNITY INVESTMENT TAX.
03:41:15PM CURRENT FOR $6 MILLION ABOUT $30 MILLION AND THAT IS GREAT.
03:41:18PM AGAIN, AS YOU ALSO SAID ABOUT $27 MILLION SHORT.
03:41:22PM RIGHT NOW BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW, I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN
03:41:27PM DISCUSSION, LIKELY MORE DISCUSSION IN THE FUTURE OF CRA
03:41:33PM CONTRIBUTIONS AND ADDITIONAL FUND FROM THE FEDERAL
03:41:35PM GOVERNMENT.
03:41:35PM WHAT WE KNOW IS WE GOT ADDS 27 MILLION SHORTFALL AND
03:41:39PM REALISTICALLY, THE ONLY WAY TO ADDRESS THAT IS FINANCING AS
03:41:45PM WE TALKED BEFORE.
03:41:46PM IF WE THROW THE POTENTIAL FINANCING AGAINST YOU, WE END UP
03:41:51PM WITH A NET ZERO.
03:41:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:41:56PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: YOU ARE WELCOME.
03:41:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MISS KAPESKY.
03:42:01PM I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH YOU ON THIS.
03:42:03PM SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
03:42:05PM >> BUDGET ANALYST, CITY COUNCIL.
03:42:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
03:42:15PM WELCOME FOR YOUR FIRST --
03:42:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: INAUGURAL.
03:42:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK: AS OUR BUDGET SEASON KICKS OFF.
03:42:21PM SO YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT -- IF WE COULD BORROW YOUR --
03:42:25PM MR. ROGERO YOUR LOVELY BREAKOUT.
03:42:28PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: SURE.
03:42:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT WILL BE GREAT.
03:42:30PM IF WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
03:42:32PM MY CONCERN IS IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW IT IS GOING TO BE --
03:42:35PM IF WE ARE -- USE ROUND NUMBERS, $57 MILLION.
03:42:40PM IF WE PUT $6 UNTIL FROM THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT TAX, OUR
03:42:43PM REMAINING OBLIGATION IS $27 MILLION.
03:42:47PM MR. ROGERO BEFORE, AND JULY 20 -- JUNE 20, GOSH, A WHOLE --
03:43:00PM THE COST IS $25 MILLION.
03:43:01PM CORRECT?
03:43:03PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, MA'AM.
03:43:04PM I BELIEVE I HAVE THAT IF YOU LIKE IT.
03:43:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK: ZONING A MINUTE AND I WANT TO GET THROUGH
03:43:08PM THIS POINT, AND YES, IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE THAT $27
03:43:20PM MILLION PLUS THE $6 MILLION IS $33 MILLION, CORRECT?
03:43:25PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES.
03:43:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IF WE TAKE THE $33 MILLION -- SO NOW INSTEAD
03:43:30PM OF OUR -- INSTEAD OF OUR -- THE GRANT IS STILL $24 MILLION.
03:43:35PM AND INSTEAD 69 MATCH BEING 25% OR $6 MILLION, IT NOW GOES TO
03:43:41PM $33 MILLION AND THAT WOULD BE ABOUT 137.5% MATCH.
03:43:49PM AM I CORRECT?
03:43:54PM >> LET ME SAY ONE THING, ORIGINAL 57.
03:43:57PM THE GRANT 24.
03:43:59PM YOU ARE NOT INCLUDING THE 6.
03:44:01PM I WAS THINKING THAT WE PROBABLY WANT TO GO AHEAD BECAUSE WE
03:44:04PM ALREADY COMMITTED TO 25%.
03:44:06PM GETS US TO 27 MILLION.
03:44:08PM I THINK YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING.
03:44:10PM 27 UNTIL RELATION TO THE ORIGINAL 24 WE ARE GETTING FROM THE
03:44:13PM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSER TO 115% OF
03:44:17PM ESSENTIAL MATCH FROM THE CITY.
03:44:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK: INSTEAD OF 25% MATCH 137.5% MATCH.
03:44:26PM TAKE THAT $27 MILLION AND ADD THE 25 MILLION IN INTEREST.
03:44:29PM WE NOW ARE AT $52 MILLION.
03:44:32PM >> RIGHT.
03:44:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK: A $52 MILLION COST TO THE PUBLIC FOR $24
03:44:37PM MILLION OF GETTING SOME OF OUR MONEY BACK.
03:44:41PM >> CORRECT.
03:44:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK: 52 MILLION OVER 24 MILLION TO LOOK AT OUR
03:44:49PM PERCENTAGE IS 217% MATCH.
03:44:51PM IT IS GOING TO COST US 217% OF THAT GRANT IN ORDER TO GET
03:44:58PM WHAT THE GRANT WAS SUPPOSED TO COVER TO BEGIN WITH.
03:45:01PM IS THAT YOUR UNDERSTAND SOMETHING IN.
03:45:04PM >> THE MATH IS CORRECT, YES.
03:45:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK: APPRECIATE IT.
03:45:07PM THAT WAS MY POINT TO SAY THAT WE ARE JUST COMPLETELY
03:45:13PM OVERLEVERAGED IN THIS GRANT.
03:45:13PM AND MY BIG CONCERN ABOUT THIS IS THAT WE CAN NOT CONTINUE TO
03:45:19PM ACCEPT GRANTS WHERE WE ARE NOT GOING TO ABLE TO MATCH.
03:45:23PM REMINDS ME OF HANNA AVENUE WHERE WE STARTED WITH SOMETHING
03:45:26PM AND KEPT GOING AND KEPT GOING AND KEPT GOING.
03:45:30PM AND BASICALLY TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN AND GIVE BACK IN
03:45:33PM MONEY.
03:45:33PM BUT AT THIS POINT, WE ARE GOING TO SPEND MORE THAN TWICE AS
03:45:39PM MUCH OF THAT MONEY JUST TO MAKE THIS PROJECT HAPPEN.
03:45:42PM AND TO ME, AS STEWARD OF TAX PAY PER DOLLARS.
03:45:45PM THAT IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE, WHICH IS WHY I WANT TO REDUCE
03:45:54PM THE SCOPE, APPLY FOR THE GRANT AND REBID IT.
03:45:57PM MAY BE A SMALLER AMOUNT, BUT BASICALLY -- FOLKS SAY WE ARE
03:46:01PM GIVING AWAY 24 MILLION.
03:46:03PM BUT WE ARE NOT.
03:46:03PM WE ARE TAKING WHAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO SPEND MONEY ON AND
03:46:08PM NOW SPEND 216% MORE FOR SOMETHING WE DIDN'T HAVE TO BEGIN
03:46:12PM WITH.
03:46:13PM AND I JUST -- I AM ABSOLUTELY OPPOSED TO THAT.
03:46:17PM AND AS FAR AS THE CRA GOES, NOTHING HAS BEEN APPROVED YET.
03:46:22PM THE CURRENT CRA BUDGET FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR WHICH I ASKED
03:46:27PM MISS MOODY BEFORE, BEFORE WE LEFT THE CITY.
03:46:31PM BUDGET FOR WEST TAMPA, 8.9 MILLION.
03:46:35PM IF WE ARE GETTING $5 THERE WILL THAT, WE ARE ONLY LEAVING
03:46:38PM THEM WITH $379 MILLION.
03:46:40PM WE HAVE ONE OF THE LOWEST TIPS OF ALL THE CRAs.
03:46:44PM THEIR TI THIS YEAR WAS 4.5%.
03:46:48PM WE HAVE TIFs THAT RANGE FROM NEGATIVE 1 ALL THE WAY TO 19%.
03:46:53PM THAT, BY THE WAY, WAS EAST TAMPA.
03:46:56PM THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY -- THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
03:47:00PM INCREASE TO TAKE MONEY AWAY FROM THEM.
03:47:03PM AND I WON'T DO IT.
03:47:06PM THANK YOU.
03:47:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND THEN CLENDENIN.
03:47:10PM >>BILL CARLSON: I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE.
03:47:13PM THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING FOR OR AGAINST A RIVER WALK ON THE
03:47:18PM WEST SIDE.
03:47:19PM OBVIOUSLY THE RIVERWALK ON THE RIGHT SIDE HAS BEEN
03:47:23PM BENEFICIAL.
03:47:24PM THE NUMBERS ORIGINALLY PRESENTED WERE COMPLETELY FALSE.
03:47:27PM BILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT BECAUSE OF THE RIVERWALK.
03:47:30PM THE REASON THERE WAS BILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT BECAUSE
03:47:33PM OF THE RIVER, NOT RIVERWALK.
03:47:35PM THEY WERE PLANNING ON BUILDING IN SOME OF THE PLACES FOR A
03:47:39PM LONG TIME AND I AM NOT AGAINST THE RIVERWALK.
03:47:42PM I HEARD -- I DON'T NEED A RESPONSE, I HEARD THAT U.T. WAS
03:47:47PM AGAINST A SECTION OF IT, BUT THE ISSUE HERE IS HOW IT IS
03:47:51PM BEING PAID FOR AND HOW MUCH IT IS.
03:47:53PM IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PROJECT IN ISOLATION, IT IS A GREAT
03:47:56PM PROJECT, BUT YOU HAVE TO ASK WHERE DO YOU WANT.
03:48:03PM AND THE PUBLIC CLEARLY SAYS THEY WANT THEIR ROADS FIXED AND
03:48:08PM THE PARKS FIXED AND OTHER BASIC SERVICES FIXED.
03:48:10PM THE MAJOR SAID THIS MORNING THAT OUR JOB IS TO MAINTAIN AND
03:48:14PM FIX THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE AND WE CAN ALSO BUILD SOME NEW
03:48:18PM SERVICES.
03:48:18PM BUT WE CAN'T BUILD -- SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT, BUT WE CAN'T
03:48:21PM BUILD A NEW SERVICE WITH MONEY WE SHOULD BE USING TO
03:48:24PM MAINTAIN THE OLD SERVICES.
03:48:25PM UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NOT FOUND ANOTHER FUNDING MECHANISM
03:48:29PM FOR ROADS AND PARKS.
03:48:30PM WE ARE WOEFULLY BEHIND.
03:48:33PM I THINK THEY WERE STARVED FOR A LONG TIME TO JUSTIFY TAX
03:48:37PM INCREASES.
03:48:38PM BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE STUCK.
03:48:39PM WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO FUND THEM.
03:48:41PM AND SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO FUND THIS.
03:48:44PM THIS $6 MILLION.
03:48:46PM CAN YOU PUT THE SLIDE BACK UP.
03:48:48PM THIS $6 MILLION COMMUNITY INVESTMENT IS STILL TAX MONEY WE CAN
03:48:53PM USE ON SOMETHING ELSE.
03:48:53PM SO WE ARE AUTOMATICALLY DEDUCTING THAT.
03:48:56PM I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR $52 MILLION BUT --
03:49:03PM IT IS --
03:49:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IT WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GOING
03:49:06PM TO BE -- WE ARE NOT BONDING IT.
03:49:12PM >>BILL CARLSON: 27 MILLION PLUS 5, 52.
03:49:17PM PLUS THE SIX MILLION, 58.
03:49:20PM THE GRANT MONEY -- I KNOW PEOPLE AT US DOT, WE CAN ALSO GO
03:49:26PM BACK AND TALK TO THEM.
03:49:27PM THAT $24 MILLION WE CAN USE FOR SOMEWHERE ELSE.
03:49:30PM THE $20 MILLION GRANT AND $10 MILLION MATCHING I WOULD
03:49:34PM APPROVE THIS IN A SECOND BECAUSE THAT IS A REALLY GOOD DEAL.
03:49:37PM THE WAY THIS IS SET UP NOW, OUR PUBLIC ON THE HOOK FOR $58
03:49:42PM MILLION AND THIS ADMINISTRATION -- IS A PET PROJECT.
03:49:45PM A GREAT PROJECT IN THE CONCEPT OF IT, BUT WE CAN'T AFFORD IT
03:49:49PM RIGHT NOW.
03:49:50PM YOU DON'T GO OUT AND BUY A BRAND-NEW CAR IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD
03:49:54PM TO PAY YOUR HOUSE PAYMENT.
03:49:56PM RIGHT NOW WE CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE ROADS.
03:49:58PM AND WE HAVE GOT PEOPLE FIXING -- ALL KINDS OF MARKET INNING
03:50:02PM SLOGANS OUT THERE.
03:50:04PM THE REALITY THAT THE ROADS ARE FALLING APART THROUGHOUT THE
03:50:07PM CITY.
03:50:07PM WE HAVE DUGOUTS FOR KIDS PLAYING BASEBALL WITH THINGS
03:50:11PM FALLING ON THEIR HEADS AND CAN'T REPAIR IT FOR FIX IT.
03:50:14PM WE CAN'T JUST SPEND IT MONEY ON PET PROJECTS.
03:50:17PM WE NEED TO FOCUS ON WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
03:50:21PM THE OTHER THING IS IT IS ALSO ABOUT SUBSIDIZING DEVELOPMENT
03:50:26PM AND DEVELOPERS.
03:50:28PM SOMEBODY WANTS TO DEVELOP THAT WEST SIDE OF THE RIVER.
03:50:31PM AND THE SCHOOL THERE WHICH IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM IF
03:50:35PM SOMEBODY WANTS TO DEVELOP THAT.
03:50:36PM THAT GETS BACK TO THE EDIFACE COMPLEX GEN AGAIN TOO.
03:50:42PM WE MEASURE SUCCESS ON SHINY BIG BUILDINGS.
03:50:45PM SOMEBODY WANTS A BUILDING BUT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIVER
03:50:49PM AND MEASURE SUCCESS WITH THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR PEOPLE
03:50:55PM AND IT IS NOT VERY GOOD.
03:50:56PM BY THE WAY, THE SURVEY THAT WAS PRESENTED THIS MORNING.
03:51:00PM I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE SURVEY EVERY YEAR I PULLED PUBLIC
03:51:03PM RECORDS ON.
03:51:03PM NOT A VALID STUDY IN REALLY LOOKING AT THE ATTITUDES OF OUR
03:51:08PM PEOPLE.
03:51:08PM THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER POLLS THAT LOOK AT WHAT PEOPLE THINK
03:51:12PM OF OUR COMMUNITY AND SURE, A POSITIVE ATTITUDE ABOUT IT, BUT
03:51:16PM WE ARE -- A DISSATISFACTION OF THE LEVEL OF SERVICE OF BASIC
03:51:22PM THINGS LIKE ROADS AND PARKS.
03:51:24PM WE CAN'T SPEND ON THINGS THAT WE WANT TO HAVE WHEN WE CAN'T
03:51:28PM SPEND ON THINGS THAT WE HAVE.
03:51:29PM LAST ANALOGY, IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD YOUR MEDICINE, WHY ARE YOU
03:51:34PM GOING TO BUY A NEW CAR OR NEW HOUSE.
03:51:35PM WE NEED TO FIX THE THINGS THAT ARE BASIC.
03:51:38PM THE MAJOR TALKED OF BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.
03:51:42PM IF WE ARE BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE, WE CAN EITHER DO PAY
03:51:48PM GO.
03:51:48PM NOT 30-YEAR PAY GO.
03:51:50PM NOT THAT MUCH MONEY.
03:51:51PM SPLIT IT OVER FIVE OR TEN YEARS.
03:51:54PM DOESN'T MICK SENSE TO BOND IT.
03:51:56PM $25 PLUS IN INTEREST AND GOES UP TO BONDHOLDERS SOMEWHERE
03:52:03PM ELSE.
03:52:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
03:52:06PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HEAR WHAT MY FELLOW COUNCILMEMBERS ARE
03:52:10PM SAYING.
03:52:10PM BUT THEY ARE MISSING ONE IMPORTANT ELEMENT.
03:52:12PM AND ACTUALLY -- MAY BE ANOTHER PROJECT THAT I WILL BE
03:52:15PM ECHOING THE EXACT SAME SEGMENT THAT THEY JUST SAID.
03:52:18PM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND SOME OF THE OTHERS IS THE RETURN
03:52:21PM ON INVESTMENT.
03:52:22PM ROUGHLY WE HAVE EXAMPLES OF THAT ALL OVER THE CITY OF TAMPA.
03:52:27PM WE INVESTED A RETURN IS SOMETIMES FOUR OR FIVE TIMES WHAT WE
03:52:31PM INVEST AS RETURN ON INVESTMENT THROUGH TIF FUNDS.
03:52:34PM I LOOK AT THIS AS A -- NOT A ONE-TIME EXPENDITURE THAT WE
03:52:40PM WANT THIS WE HAVE TO PUT OUT THAT WE ARE NEVER GOING TO SEE
03:52:44PM AGAIN ONCE THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE, WILL REVITALIZE AN AREA
03:52:49PM HISTORICALLY IGNORED.
03:52:50PM IT IS GOING TO PROVIDE A WALKABLE NORTH-SOUTH CORRIDOR.
03:52:58PM A BIKE AREA IN THE NORTHWEST CORRIDOR.
03:53:02PM THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE AESTHETICS FOR THESE DON'T HAVE
03:53:09PM THE SAME QUALITY OF LIFE THAT OUR MOST RECENTLY DEVELOPED
03:53:12PM AREAS HAVE.
03:53:12PM WE NEED TO START SPREADING -- SPREADING THE ENHANCEMENTS
03:53:17PM ACROSS ALL PARTS OF OUR CITY.
03:53:18PM AND THIS IS -- BE THIS IS ONE ELEMENT OF THAT.
03:53:21PM YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED
03:53:27PM COST ESCALATION.
03:53:28PM THE CITY OF TAMPA CAN'T HELP THAT.
03:53:30PM IT IS WHAT IT IS BOND INTEREST RATES HAVE GONE UP AND THE
03:53:34PM COST OF BORROWING IS HIGHER THAN WE WOULD LIKE SAW THE
03:53:40PM PRESENTATION THIS MORNING, DENNIS, AND I WAS PLEASANTLY
03:53:43PM SURPRISED OF THE INTEREST RATE YOU PROJECT ON THAT.
03:53:46PM A LITTLE BIT LOWER.
03:53:47PM A WHOLE POINT LOWER THAN WHAT I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED FOR A
03:53:52PM COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
03:53:52PM WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE MAYBE WE WILL SEE MORE RELIEF.
03:53:56PM WE CAN'T COUNT ON THAT BUT MAYBE WE WILL.
03:53:58PM I SPOKE WITH WEST TAMPA REPRESENTATIVES AND THEY ARE IN
03:54:03PM FAVOR OF THIS AND BELIEVE IT IS TRANSFORMATIONAL FOR THEIR
03:54:07PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
03:54:07PM PASSIONATELY ABOUT TRANSPORTATION.
03:54:09PM VIK WILL TELL YOU I BEAT HIM UP ON THIS STUFF ALL DAY LONG.
03:54:14PM BUT I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT AREA TO ENHANCE OUR MIX
03:54:19PM MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.
03:54:21PM WOULD I LIKE LESS EXPENSIVE?
03:54:23PM OF COURSE, I WOULD.
03:54:24PM IS IT IN LINE WITH THE COST ESCALATIONS OF WHAT WE ARE
03:54:27PM SEEING ACROSS THE CITY?
03:54:29PM I DO.
03:54:31PM I ALSO DON'T THINK IT IS AN OVERLY AMBITIOUS PROJECT.
03:54:34PM THE CURRENT RIVERWALK HAS A LOT OF BELLS AND WHISTLES.
03:54:39PM WE ARE NOT SEEING THAT.
03:54:42PM A STRIP-DOWN VERSION AND MINIMUM AMOUNT FOR THE MAXIMUM
03:54:46PM AMOUNT OF RETURN.
03:54:46PM HOPEFULLY WHEN TIME GOES BY TO BRING IT UP TO THE SAME
03:54:51PM STANDARD THAT THE EAST SIDE WILL HAVE AND YOU HAVE TO START
03:54:56PM SOMEWHERE.
03:54:56PM THIS IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
03:55:01PM I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN
03:55:06PM THINGS.
03:55:06PM PAVE OUR DAMN ROADS.
03:55:12PM DOING A GOOD JOB ON THE PIPES PROJECT.
03:55:14PM AND WE ARE -- PUBLIC FLOODING RELIEF.
03:55:19PM WE ARE DOING GOOD IN THE CITY OF TAMPA COMPARED TO OUR
03:55:22PM CO-WORKERS IN OUR OTHER CITIES.
03:55:24PM THEY SHOULD BE ENVIOUS OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
03:55:28PM IT IS COSTING US MONEY AND THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
03:55:32PM IT IS JUST -- IT IS THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
03:55:35PM WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME.
03:55:40PM WE WILL GO THROUGH THIS BUDGET AND SHIFT SOME MONEY FOR
03:55:44PM MAINTENANCE.
03:55:44PM AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND SOMETHING AND THE RIGHT MOVE FOR
03:55:54PM THE CITY OF TAMPA.
03:55:55PM AND SPREADING THE EQUITY AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN EVERY
03:56:02PM CORNER THAT WE CAN DO.
03:56:04PM THANK YOU.
03:56:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA, YOU WERE NEXT.
03:56:07PM >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR.
03:56:08PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:56:09PM IT IS FUNNY, I MEDIATE A LOT OF CASES IN CIRCUIT COURT, ONE
03:56:13PM OF MY STANDARD OPENING LINES FOR THE PARTY.
03:56:16PM I SAY THINGS IN LIFE THAT ARE PLAQUE AND WHITE AND THAT IS
03:56:20PM TRUE SOMETIMES, BUT NONE OF LEGAL CASES, THERE ARE A LOT OF
03:56:24PM GRAY WHICH I ALWAYS SAY THAT.
03:56:26PM EACH SIDE HAS A GOOD POINT, ETC.
03:56:29PM ON THIS -- THERE IS SOME GRAY THERE.
03:56:31PM BUT I THINK THAT THE GOOD OUTWEIGHS THE BAD.
03:56:35PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND COUNCILMAN CARLSON TALKING OF THE
03:56:39PM NEGATIVE AND OBJECTIVE VIEW OUTWEIGHS THE MOVE AT THIS TIME.
03:56:45PM I AM NOT TRYING TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, BUT IN MY
03:56:49PM OPINION, THE GOOD OUTWEIGHS THE BAD ON THIS -- ON A NUMBER
03:56:52PM OF ISSUES AS COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN WISELY SAID, WILL LOOK AT
03:56:57PM THE AREA OF WEST TAMPA THAT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED FOR FAR TOO
03:57:01PM LONG.
03:57:01PM I THOUGHT THAT WEST TAMPA AS WELL AS NORTH TAMPA ARE TWO
03:57:04PM AREAS GENERALLY NEGLECTED BY THE CITY AND WEST TAMPA AN AREA
03:57:10PM WITH TREMENDOUS HISTORY.
03:57:11PM OUR FRIENDS IN THE CRA WEATHER SAID WILL GO A LONG WAY OF
03:57:15PM HELPING WEST TAMPA AND SOME SAFETY ADVOCATES AND MOBILITY
03:57:19PM ACTIVITY ADVOCATES AND THEY SAY THIS IS A PROJECT THAT MOVES
03:57:24PM THINGS FORWARD FOR THIS ISSUE FOR WEST TAMPA.
03:57:27PM THOSE ARE THINGS THAT I THINK OUTWEIGH THE BAD AND I WILL
03:57:31PM TALK ABOUT THE BAD BECAUSE WE CAN'T IGNORE THE BAD.
03:57:35PM NO REASONABLE PERSON.
03:57:36PM $24 MILLION GRANT FOR THE WORK OF OUR CONGRESSWOMAN KATHY
03:57:42PM CASTOR ALWAYS DOES A GREAT JOB.
03:57:44PM $6 MILLION IN CIT.
03:57:47PM OUT OF THAT $27 MILLION, HOW MANY WERE WE EXPECTING TO GET
03:57:50PM IN CRA WITH OUR CONSENT IF THAT CAN BE OPINED ON.
03:57:55PM >>VIK BHIDE: THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN.
03:57:57PM SO THE MEMO THAT I SENT THEIR CRA REQUESTING $10 MILLION.
03:58:03PM WE ARE WORK WITH STAFF RIGHT NOW TO GET ON THE CAC'S AGENDA.
03:58:07PM I HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME OF THE CAC MEMBERS AS WELL,
03:58:12PM AND I WILL REFLECT THE POSITIVITY THAT YOU SHARED,
03:58:16PM CONGRESSMAN, WITH THE PROJECT AS WELL.
03:58:18PM AND -- AND I THINK BOTH YOU AND COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN KIND OF
03:58:26PM SUMMARIZED IT AS WELL.
03:58:27PM THERE ARE DOWN SIDES CERTAINLY LIKE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
03:58:30PM SIGNIFICANT UPSIDES TO SOME OF THE POINTS THAT WERE
03:58:33PM MENTIONED QUALITY OF LIFE, SAFETY, ACCESS, EQUITY,
03:58:39PM ENVIRONMENT.
03:58:39PM WE KNOW THAT THIS WORKS.
03:58:41PM JUST LOOKING AT THE EXISTING RIVERWALK WALK.
03:58:46PM AND STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE WELL AFTER IT WAS BUILT SHOWING
03:58:49PM -- DEMONSTRATING ITS SUCCESS AS WELL AND WE ANTICIPATE THIS
03:58:53PM TO BE A VERY HIGH VALUE PROJECT.
03:58:56PM >>LUIS VIERA: AGAIN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM NOT WRONG
03:58:59PM WITH MY MATH BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A LONG WEEK.
03:59:02PM IF WE GET $10 MILLION FROM CRA FUNDS AND CAN ASK FOR MORE.
03:59:07PM POTENTIALLY $24 MILLION FROM THE FEDS, $6 MILLION FROM CIT.
03:59:12PM $10 MILLION FROM CRA, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ALREADY THAT
03:59:16PM LEAVE BONDING AT ABOUT $17 MILLION?
03:59:20PM >>VIK BHIDE: SORRY.
03:59:22PM POTENTIALLY WE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL POSITIVE NEWS FROM THE
03:59:27PM FEDERAL BUDGET AS WELL, AND THAT, AGAIN, ALREADY REDUCE THE
03:59:33PM BURDEN.
03:59:33PM I WANT TO REITERATE WHAT WE MENTIONED ON JUNE 20 THAT WE HAD
03:59:37PM A LOT OF SUCCESS BOTH WITH THE STATE AND WASHINGTON WHERE
03:59:41PM GETTING ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR HIGH VALUE PROJECTS.
03:59:45PM WE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP THAT EFFORT WITH THIS PROJECT.
03:59:48PM WE ARE GOING TO STAY ON IT.
03:59:50PM >> IF MY MATH IS CORRECT, PRESENTLY WOULDN'T ANY CRA MONEY,
03:59:56PM WITH THE $10 MILLION, WE CAN'T TAKE THAT GRANTED AND FEDERAL
04:00:02PM MONEY AND EVERYTHING ELSE, THE BONDING OF THE BUILDING WILL
04:00:05PM BE 30% OF THE PROJECT BEING BONDED RIGHT NOW.
04:00:07PM MY MATH IS RIGHT, $17 MILLION.
04:00:13PM >> IN MY HEAD ABOUT RIGHT.
04:00:14PM >> $15 MILLION.
04:00:16PM >> YES.
04:00:16PM AND I AM SAYING THAT MONEY BOND.
04:00:18PM $2 MILLION BONDED.
04:00:21PM >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY.
04:00:23PM IF I MAY.
04:00:25PM I AM SAYING THAT IS THE NUMBER WE START OFF AS BEING BONDED.
04:00:28PM BEFORE WE ARE TALKING OF INTEREST AS COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK
04:00:31PM WISELY SAID.
04:00:32PM WE ARE TALKINH OF 30% OF THE FUNDS THAT WILL BE BONDED
04:00:38PM RESULTING IN AN ADDITIONAL TRILLION.
04:00:40PM AND THAT COMES BEFORE ANY ADDITIONAL FEDERAL GRANTS.
04:00:42PM ANY ADDITIONAL FEDERAL OR STRIKE THAT, CRA DOLLARS, CORRECT.
04:00:47PM THAT COULD BE LOOKING AT BETTER DOLLARS.
04:00:49PM LONG STORY SHORT THERE ARE IS SOMETHING WHERE THE GOOD
04:00:53PM OUTWEIGHS THE BAD.
04:00:54PM IS THERE BAD, OF COURSE, THERE IS.
04:00:57PM REAL SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR OUR CITY IGNORED AREA WEST
04:01:03PM TAMPA.
04:01:03PM 70% OF THE DOLLARS COMING FROM C.I.T., THE FEDERAL
04:01:08PM GOVERNMENT, COMING FROM CRA.
04:01:10PM AGAIN, FUNDING MECHANISM IS SOMETHING THAT IS WORTH THE
04:01:14PM NEGATIVE.
04:01:14PM WORTH THE POSITIVE IMPACT WE WILL HAVE OUT OF IT.
04:01:18PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:01:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON, MIRANDA AND ME.
04:01:22PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR.
04:01:24PM FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
04:01:26PM I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
04:01:30PM JUST EVEN BASED ON OUR PRESENTATION, PRIOR FOR THIS AND EVEN
04:01:34PM TODAY REGARDING DEBT SERVICE, WE ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND
04:01:39PM OUTSTANDING RATING.
04:01:40PM WHEN THE STAFF COMES TO US AND SAYS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
04:01:43PM WE CAN BOND.
04:01:45PM I AM LISTEN THAT FROM THE STANDPOINT LONG-TERM DEALT AND THE
04:01:51PM BENEFITS OF A PROBABLY LIKE THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE TO ME.
04:01:55PM WE ARE REBUILDING THE INNER CITY, FOR ME, THIS IS A
04:02:00PM STANDPOINT OF A OUTDOOR CITY ASSET NOT LIKE THE CITY MUSEUM,
04:02:04PM STRAZ OR THE CONVENTION CENTER.
04:02:06PM THE COMMUNITY HAS ACCESS TO THIS AT NO CHARGE TO THEM.
04:02:09PM AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT COMMUNITIES WALK IN A
04:02:18PM BEAUTIFUL WAY AND ELEVATES THE CITY NOT JUST FOR CURRENT
04:02:21PM RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THE GUESTS AND VISITORS
04:02:24PM WHO BRING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES IN TERMS OF THEIR DOLLARS
04:02:27PM IN SPENDING.
04:02:28PM WHEN THEY COME VISIT, THEY COME TO THE RIVERWALK.
04:02:31PM ONE OF THE DESTINATION THIS THEY GO TO THAT DOESN'T COST
04:02:35PM THEM ANYTHING BUT BENEFITS US BECAUSE LIVING IN OUR HOTELS,
04:02:38PM EATING OUR FOOD, ETC., ETC.
04:02:40PM I SEE IT AS THE LONG-TERM DEBT IS WORTH IT.
04:02:44PM AND CASTOR.
04:02:47PM APPRECIATE THAT.
04:02:48PM THE DOLLARS THAT ARE COMING IN UNDERSTAND THAT.
04:02:50PM I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND MONEY AND THIS IS ONE OF THE
04:02:56PM INSTANCES WHERE I FEEL I CAN SUPPORT IT DESPITE SOME
04:03:02PM OPPOSITION.
04:03:02PM I DO UNDERSTAND THAT.
04:03:04PM BUT THERE IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO APPLY FOR
04:03:10PM GRANTS.
04:03:10PM THAT IS IN OUR FAVE.
04:03:13PM I WILL STOP THE PROJECT.
04:03:14PM THE GOOD OUTWEIGHS THE BAD.
04:03:17PM OUR KIDS ARE GOING TO HELP US PAY FOR SOME THINGS.
04:03:19PM THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE AND HELP WITH US OTHER PROJECTS AND
04:03:23PM IT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY OF
04:03:28PM THE BENEFIT OF THE CONNECTIVITY AND HAVE ACCESS TO THIS.
04:03:32PM AND IT DOESN'T COST THEM ANYTHING IN TERMS OF MONEY OUT OF
04:03:36PM THEIR POCKET ON A REGULAR BASIS WHERE THEY ARE LOSING THE
04:03:40PM LUNCH MONEY FOR THE KIDS.
04:03:41PM IT IS NOT LIKE THAT.
04:03:42PM YES, OUR CHILDREN WILL HELP PAY FOR THIS PROJECT BUT
04:03:44PM DEFINITELY GOING TO BE WORTH IT BECAUSE AROUND FOR THEM TO
04:03:47PM ENJOY AS WELL.
04:03:47PM THANK YOU.
04:03:48PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
04:03:55PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: DOESN'T COST ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE
04:03:59PM TO PAY FOR.
04:04:00PM BECAUSE IT IS WORTH NOTHING.
04:04:02PM LET'S GO BACK IN HISTORY.
04:04:04PM THE STRAZ.
04:04:05PM YOU KNOW THAT WAS TAKEN TO A PUBLIC VOTE, AND THE PUBLIC
04:04:11PM VOTED THIS DOWN.
04:04:12PM YET THE GOVERNOR HAD THE FORESIGHT AND START COLLECTING
04:04:16PM MONEY AND START BUILDING.
04:04:16PM WHAT WOULD DO YOU WITHOUT THE STRAZ DOWNTOWN OR WITHOUT THE
04:04:21PM IS HE CONVENTION CENTER THAT COST MONEY.
04:04:23PM IN THE MARRIOTT HOTEL THAT COSTS MONEY.
04:04:26PM WHAT WOULD YOU DO OF THE FEW THINGS SPURRED THE DEVELOPMENT
04:04:29PM AND THOSE WITH THE CITY THAT MAKE THE CITY AND WHAT IT IS
04:04:32PM GOING TO BE.
04:04:33PM HERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE PAYING FOR IT IN A WAY, AND NOW
04:04:37PM GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE, TO SEE SOME
04:04:40PM PROGRESS AND MAKE SURE THEY PROGRESS WITH THE -- SO WE LOOK
04:04:46PM AT THE CIT TAX AND GUESS WHAT, WE COLLECT 50% OF IT.
04:04:52PM DO WE GENERATE 15% OR MORE?
04:05:01PM I AM NOT GOING TO SAY.
04:05:02PM YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOUR ACCEPT.
04:05:04PM NOBODY IS BITCHING ABOUT THAT.
04:05:07PM I AM TALKING ABOUT MYSELF WHEN I SAY THAT.
04:05:09PM LET'S TALK OF THE PARKING AROUND THE STADIUMS.
04:05:12PM ALL OF IT IS GIVEN AWAY.
04:05:15PM NOBODY IS SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
04:05:17PM THAT FOR 30 YEARS, NOT A PENNY INCREASE.
04:05:23PM NOBODY IS SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
04:05:24PM LET'S TALK ABOUT ANYTHING THAT IS COMING UP NOW WHEN THIS
04:05:32PM VOTE COMES UP.
04:05:32PM WHAT THINGS HAPPEN TODAY IN ST. PETE.
04:05:34PM I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT -- APPROVED?
04:05:39PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES.
04:05:41PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK GOODNESS IT IS THEM.
04:05:43PM I AM SAYING THIS IS THE WRONG WAY OF ANYTHING.
04:05:47PM UP APPRECIATE THE NUMBERS THEY BROUGHT.
04:05:49PM I AGREE WITH IT.
04:05:50PM BUT ANOTHER SIDE OF THIS THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE ABILITY OF
04:05:55PM LIFTING UP HOPE FROM SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE DIS-- LIVING IN AN
04:05:58PM AREA THAT I CAN WALK HERE AND DO THAT.
04:06:00PM YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING, YOU ARE HAPPY.
04:06:04PM BUT IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING AND YOU ARE NOT HAPPY, THAT IS
04:06:09PM WHEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
04:06:10PM A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS CITY DON'T HAVE MUCH.
04:06:14PM AND YET THIS IS COSTLY.
04:06:16PM BUT THIS WILL GIVE THAT FAMILY AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO
04:06:20PM WALK INSTEAD OF DRIVING TO THE BEACH SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY
04:06:24PM DON'T HAVE THE MONEY NO GET TO AND WALK AND SHOW ALL THE
04:06:27PM BEAUTY AND GIVE SOMEBODY A SEDATIVE TO GIVE BETTER WHAT THEY
04:06:30PM ARE IN THEIR LIFE, ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG KIDS WITH THEIR
04:06:34PM PARENTS.
04:06:34PM THIS HELPS EVERYONE AND BELIEVE ME, I TONIGHT LIKE TO
04:06:40PM PREACH, BUT I CAN TELL YOU I WILL NOT BE VOTE FOR THIS IF I
04:06:43PM THOUGHT IT WAS CONCRETE AND RAIL AND FORGET IT, NOBODY WILL
04:06:47PM USE IT.
04:06:47PM IT IS -- IF I REMEMBER IT, PLEASE CORRECTLY, BECAUSE I MAKE
04:06:52PM MISTAKES MYSELF.
04:06:53PM I MADE A MISTAKE ONCE AND I WAS WRONG.
04:06:55PM BUT THE RIVER WALK IS THE NUMBER ONE RIVERWALK IN THE
04:06:59PM COUNTRY, I BELIEVE.
04:07:00PM >>VIK BHIDE: VOTED THAT RECENTLY BY ONE OF THE --
04:07:06PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM SAYING PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING,
04:07:09PM AND YOU ARE GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY, I THINK YOU WILL
04:07:12PM HAVE LOWER CRIME.
04:07:13PM PEOPLE SPEAKING TO EACH OTHER INSTEAD OF TYPING AN LOOKING
04:07:16PM AT A COMPUTER 24 -- 28 HOURS A DAY.
04:07:19PM IF YOU LOOK AT MEDICAL STUDIES NOW, EVEN THE SCIENTISTS SAY
04:07:25PM THREE HOURS A WEEK IS ENOUGH.
04:07:27PM BUT TO GO OUT AND LEARN WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT, WOULD YOU HAVE
04:07:33PM HAPPIER PEOPLE.
04:07:34PM I KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO VOTE.
04:07:35PM I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IS MY PART OF IT.
04:07:38PM I CAN GO ON MORE AND MORE AND I AM NOT JUST GOING TO THROW
04:07:41PM OUT NEGATIVES.
04:07:42PM HELPS THE SOCIETY AROUND THE COURSE OF WHAT DO YOU.
04:07:48PM IF THE PRESIDENT OF TAMPA UNIVERSITY BECAME WHEN HE WAS
04:07:51PM PRESIDENT 30 YEARS 40 YEARS AGO AND HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING
04:07:57PM NEW, THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA WILL BE GONE LONG AGO.
04:07:59PM HE DID SOMETHING.
04:08:00PM STARTED BUILDING AND GOT INDIVIDUALS TO BUY INTO HIS PLAN.
04:08:03PM AND IT WILL NOW BIGGER THAN PRINCETON AND WAKE FOREST IN
04:08:09PM ENROLLMENT.
04:08:09PM AND NOT ONLY THAT, IT HAS AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION SYSTEM.
04:08:13PM SO, I MEAN, YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE IN HISTORY
04:08:17PM TODAY.
04:08:17PM IF COLUMBUS NEVER HAD THE MONEY TO GET ON THE SHIP, EUROPEAN
04:08:24PM WOULD HAVE BEEN REAL CROWDED.
04:08:26PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:08:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:08:29PM I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS BECAUSE -- ON ALL SIDES.
04:08:32PM I AGREE.
04:08:33PM I UNDERSTAND THEIR POINTS.
04:08:35PM MY QUESTION IS -- FIRST A STATEMENT.
04:08:37PM I LIKE A GOOD DEAL, YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE.
04:08:40PM I HAD THIS CONVERSATION AT LUNCH.
04:08:42PM I DON'T HAVE CREDIT CARD DEBT.
04:08:43PM MY ONE CREDIT CARD OFFERED ME ZERO PERCENT INTEREST FOR SIX
04:08:48PM MONTHS.
04:08:48PM I MEAN FREE MONEY.
04:08:50PM FREE LAYAWAY FOR SIX MONTHS.
04:08:52PM AS LONG AS YOU PAY IT, YOU DON'T PAY INTEREST.
04:08:54PM MY QUESTION IS -- BECAUSE I SEE THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT TAX
04:08:57PM MONEY AT $6 MILLION HERE.
04:08:58PM AND I KNOW -- THERE IS MORE TO THIS.
04:09:00PM THE C.I.T. IS ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT.
04:09:05PM BEFORE WE GO TO APPROVING OR VOTING FOR BONDING OUT, THE 26
04:09:14PM -- 26.855 MILLION, DO WE HAVE TO -- OR COMING DOWN TOO 17 --
04:09:20PM NOT TALKING OF CRA AND WHAT NOT.
04:09:23PM BEFORE WE GO TO FINANCING, CAN'T WE -- LET'S SAY WE APPROVE
04:09:28PM ITEM 115, WITH WE WAIT TO APPROVE ANY KIND OF BONDING TO SEE
04:09:33PM WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE C.I.T. TO SEAL IF WE GO A PAY-GO
04:09:38PM INSTEAD OF HAVING TO BOND SOMETHING AND GIVING INTEREST TO
04:09:40PM THE BANK AND BE USE MORE CIT MONEY SHOULD IT GET RENEWED
04:09:46PM INSTEAD OF PAYING EXTRA AMOUNTS IN INTEREST TRYING TO GET
04:09:50PM THE BEST DEAL SOMETHING TO VOTE TO APPROVE 116 AND HOLD OFF
04:09:56PM APPROVING THE BONDING DEBT APPROVAL ANTICIPATED.
04:10:04PM LATE NOVEMBER IS THE ELECTION AND THAT WHAT HE IS WE KNOW.
04:10:11PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION AND WE ASKED THAT
04:10:14PM OURSELF.
04:10:14PM OUR UNDERSTANDING IT IS FOR URGENCY.
04:10:16PM HERE FROM MR. BHIDE, WE ARE TRYING TO LET THE CONTRACT.
04:10:21PM WE CAN'T LET A CONTRACT UNLESS WE HAVE THE FUNDING
04:10:26PM APPROPRIATED.
04:10:26PM IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE ARE RELYING ON A SUCCESSFUL REFERENDUM
04:10:32PM IN NOVEMBER AND VERY GOOD OR BAD NEWS.
04:10:34PM WE CAN'T APPROPRIATE THAT FUNDING.
04:10:38PM AGAIN I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT
04:10:43PM MR. BHIDE, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING A REAL SENSE OF URGENCY FROM
04:10:47PM THE VENDOR OR CONTRACT APPEAR CONTRACT, I HAVE A JAY SENT
04:10:52PM FINANCIAL RESOLUTION.
04:10:53PM >> HERE IS ANOTHER THING.
04:10:54PM WE APPROVE IT ALL TODAY, BUT THE CIT PASSES IN NOVEMBER.
04:10:58PM CAN WE LOOK AT THE CIT THEN AND SAY, OKAY, LET'S TRY PAY
04:11:03PM DOWN THIS -- THIS BOND THERE ARE ANTICIPATED BONDING TO SAVE
04:11:10PM YOURSELF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN INTEREST.
04:11:12PM COUNCILMAN CARLSON MADE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.
04:11:15PM I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PROJECT.
04:11:17PM IF IT WAS DONE THIS WAY AND WASN'T BONDED IT WOULD BE A
04:11:20PM DIFFERENT SITUATION.
04:11:21PM GOING BACK TO MY CREDIT CARD, AT 0%.
04:11:23PM I HAVE ANOTHER CAR 2.9.
04:11:27PM REASONABLE, NOT 25% INTEREST.
04:11:29PM I WANT TO GET THE BEST DEAL FOR THE TAXPAYERS.
04:11:34PM AS MUCH AS WE CAN SAVE IN INTEREST.
04:11:36PM PUTTING THE MONEY THAT WE ARE BASICALLY GIVING TO THE BANKS.
04:11:39PM TUESDAY TO FIX ROADS AND FIX THE DUGOUTS AND THE PARKS.
04:11:43PM NOW I AM CITYWIDE.
04:11:45PM NOT JUST -- I WAS A DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE.
04:11:48PM YOU GO SOUTH OF GANDY, SOUTH BUSH, UP TO NEBRASKA, DISTRICT 7.
04:11:56PM THE CITY HAS A LOT OF NEEDS OF.
04:11:59PM AS THE CITY CONTINUES TO GROW, THERE IS A LOT OF -- A LOT OF
04:12:05PM MAINTENANCE AND DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
04:12:08PM I HATE GIVING MONEY AWAY TO THE BANK.
04:12:10PM JUST ENRICHING THE WEALTHY INSTEAD OF SAYING, HEY, WE HAVE
04:12:15PM THAT EXTRA MONEY WE WOULD BE ANTICIPATING SPENDING WE CAN BE
04:12:18PM PAVE SOME MORE ROADS WITH IT AND SIDEWALKS WITH IT.
04:12:21PM THAT IS ALL I AM SAYING.
04:12:25PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: ABSOLUTELY.
04:12:26PM IF YOU CAN INDULGE ME AND GIVE ME THE HE WILL MOVE TO PUT IT
04:12:31PM ON SCREEN OPINION WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN OUR BRIEFS AND
04:12:34PM INTERNALLY WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT AND WE HAVE AS YOU SEE
04:12:38PM HERE, BIG QUESTION MARK.
04:12:39PM COMMUNITY INVESTMENT TAX RENEWAL.
04:12:41PM FURTHER TO YOUR QUESTION, RIGHT NOW THE PLAN IS ABOUT $88
04:12:47PM MILLION UNTIL PARKS AND RECOGNIZE OPERATION FACILITY THAT
04:12:54PM PATH TAKES EFFECT.
04:12:55PM $3 MILLION OR $4 MILLION THAT CONGRESSWOMAN CASTOR IS TRYING
04:13:00PM TO OBTAIN FOR US.
04:13:02PM $150 MILLION OR SOME AMOUNT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY COME FROM
04:13:05PM WEST COMPANY.
04:13:06PM FUTURE, LOCAL AND STATE OPPORTUNITIES THAT PLAN BHIDE SAID.
04:13:16PM WHATEVER THIS NUMBER IS TO BE, WE WILL NOT FINANCE BECAUSE
04:13:18PM NO NECESSITY FOR FINANCING.
04:13:21PM BUT WE HAVE TO APPROPRIATE IT -- WE HAVE -- MY UNDERSTANDING
04:13:26PM FROM A LOGISTICAL AND PERFORMANCE ST. PATRICK, WE NEED TO
04:13:30PM MAKE THAT DECISION TODAY.
04:13:32PM THE SHORT ANSWER COME TO CITY COUNCIL WITH A RESOLUTION
04:13:36PM APPROPRIATING A DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCE FOR PART OF THIS.
04:13:39PM BY THE TIME THE NONAD VALOREM BOND COMES TO COUNCIL, WE WILL
04:13:45PM SEE THAT PORTION REMOVED.
04:13:46PM WE JUST CAN'T COUNT CONTINUE TO RIGHT NOW.
04:13:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MURPHY MENTIONED HOW MUCH
04:13:54PM MONEY, ASKED OR TAKEN FROM THE WEST TAMPA CRA.
04:13:57PM THEY HAVE X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS AND TAKING THIS MUCH AWAY FROM
04:14:01PM THEM.
04:14:01PM DOESN'T CONNECT TO THE EXISTING RIVERWALK BY BRIDGE, THE
04:14:09PM FORTUNE TELLER BRIDGE.
04:14:11PM CAN WE WALK OUT OF HERE AND GO TO THE KENNEDY SEGMENT, GO
04:14:16PM NORTH A CONTINUED ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO THE NEXT RIVER SPAN.
04:14:21PM WOULD IT BE A CONTINUOUS CONNECTION?
04:14:24PM >>VIK BHIDE: AS CONCEIVED RIGHT NOW AS THE DESIGN.
04:14:27PM ALL THE UNDERBRIDGE SEGMENTS OF THE RIVER WALK PROVIDE
04:14:33PM EXCEPTION FOR THE BRIDGE ITSELF.
04:14:36PM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KENNEDY BOULEVARD AND NEWWHERE THERE
04:14:41PM IS ACCESS AND POTENTIAL SEGMENT TO THE DOLOR.
04:14:49PM >> YOU AND I TOOK IT.
04:14:51PM FROM KENNEDY, CROSS KENNEDY TO TAMPA TO THE NEW SPAN OF THE
04:14:57PM RIVER WALK, CORRECT.
04:14:58PM >> CORRECT.
04:14:59PM >> THE EXISTING RIVERWALK TO THE WEST RIVERWALK.
04:15:02PM THE POINT I AM MAKING, REMEMBER LOOKING AT THE QUEST
04:15:07PM TAMPA CRA, ONE POCKET OF MONEY AND TOUCHES THE DOWNTOWN CRA
04:15:12PM AND GO INTO THE TAMPA HEIGHTS AMATEUR SEGMENT.
04:15:15PM CAN WE TAKE RUN IN THAT SEGMENT SINCE IT IS PART OF THE
04:15:20PM LARGER PUZZLE INSTEAD OF BURDENING WEST TAMPA WITH SO MUCH
04:15:25PM MONEY.
04:15:25PM WEST TAMPA AND DOWNTOWN CRA HAS MORE MONEY.
04:15:29PM CAN WE DO THAT?
04:15:32PM ARE WE ALLOWED TO.
04:15:34PM >>VIK BHIDE: TOUCHES ONE CRA BOUNDARY.
04:15:38PM WEST TAMPA CRA.
04:15:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
04:15:44PM WEST TAMPA AN EAST TAMPA.
04:15:46PM IT TOUCHES WEST TAMPA CRA, WE ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO THANK YOU
04:15:52PM VERY MUCH BUCKET OF MONEY.
04:15:53PM >> CORRECT.
04:15:53PM THE CRAs ARE NOT THE ONLY WAY TO AUGMENT CURRENT FUNDING.
04:15:58PM TO -- TO THE POINT MAILED EARLIER.
04:16:01PM WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW NEEDS TO BE LOCKED IN AS A
04:16:08PM FULL AMOUNT SO THAT WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE CONTRACT AND
04:16:13PM AVAILABILITY OF THE GRANT.
04:16:14PM OUR JOURNEY TO FIND ADDITIONAL FUNDING DOES NOT END OUT
04:16:18PM THERE.
04:16:18PM WE ARE ALREADY IN PROCESS AND WILL LOOK BEYOND THE CRAs AS
04:16:26PM WELL.
04:16:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ONE FINAL QUESTION.
04:16:28PM ARE WE WAY TO VIEW THE ADMINISTRATION TO COMMIT TO -- SHOULD
04:16:31PM THE CIT BE RENEWED IN NOVEMBER.
04:16:34PM $88 MILLION OVER THE LIFE OF THE CRT REMOVAL THAT WE LOOK AT
04:16:41PM EARMARKING $10 MILLION, $15 MILLION, $20 MILLION OF THAT NOT
04:16:46PM TO BOND EVERYTHING.
04:16:48PM I AM TRYING TO BRAINSTORM DIFFERENT AREAS TO LOOK AT --
04:16:53PM UNDERSTOOD.
04:16:54PM WE CAN MAKE COMMITMENT WITH ONE MAJOR CAVEAT.
04:16:57PM SHOULD THIS FUNDING STREAM BE SUCCESSFULLY APPROVED, NOT
04:17:02PM AVAILABLE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
04:17:03PM WILL DEPEND ON THE NEED TO SPEND MONEY BASED ON PROJECT
04:17:09PM SCHEDULE.
04:17:09PM COST OF THAT ETC.
04:17:12PM EVERYBODY'S EYES WIDE OPEN.
04:17:13PM WE ARE CONSTRAINED WITH IN FUND ALSO TAKE PLACE.
04:17:18PM A COUPLE OF YEARS OUT.
04:17:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ONE LAST QUESTION.
04:17:22PM YOU BOND SOMETHING, A 30 YEARS, 150 YEARS, FIVE-YEAR.
04:17:27PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: 30 YEARS IS BEST PRACTICE AND HAS BEEN
04:17:32PM IDENTIFIED AS THE MOST SUFFICIENT ESPECIALLY FOR A
04:17:34PM SIGNIFICANT PROCESS.
04:17:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A PENALTY IF WE PAY OFF THOSE BONDS
04:17:39PM EARLY?
04:17:40PM >> A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
04:17:41PM TYPICALLY BECAUSE INVESTORS HAVING MONEY FOR.
04:17:44PM AND TYPICALLY THEY WILL WANT A TEN-YEAR PERIOD WHERE YOU CAN
04:17:47PM NOT CALL THE BONDS.
04:17:48PM THEY WANT TO GET THEIR INVESTMENT AT LEAST FOR A PERIOD OF
04:17:51PM TIME BEFORE IT GOES ON THE MARKET.
04:17:54PM >> THE VERY BEST IF WE SAY AFTER YEAR 10, WE HAVE THE MONEY.
04:17:58PM CIT SUCCESSFUL.
04:18:00PM WE CAN PAY OFF THAT YOU BOND EARLIER THAN THE 30 YEARS.
04:18:05PM THERE IS A TEN-YEAR CAVEAT AND, THEREFORE, SAVING US WHO
04:18:09PM KNOWS HOW MUCH INTEREST.
04:18:11PM >>DENNIS ROGERO: WE CAN REFINANCE AND WE HAVE DONE THAT IN
04:18:13PM THE PAST.
04:18:13PM AND TYPICALLY A DECADE WHERE THEY WANT IT UNTOUCHED.
04:18:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AT LEAST A TEN-YEAR COMMITMENT.
04:18:20PM TYPICALLY WE DON'T KNOW THE TERMS YET, BUT OPPORTUNITIES
04:18:23PM SAVE MORE MONEY DOWN THE ROAD.
04:18:25PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:18:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
04:18:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
04:18:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT PRIVATELY, BUT WHAT
04:18:35PM YOU DESCRIBED ON YOUR CONCERNS.
04:18:38PM YOU ARE MISSING THAT VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE AMOUNT
04:18:41PM OF TIF WE ARE GOING TO GET OUT OF THE INVESTMENT.
04:18:45PM NOT ONE-WAY MONEY.
04:18:46PM WE ARE GOING TO INVEST THIS MONEY AND THEN GET A RETURN ON
04:18:49PM THE INVESTMENT THROUGH INCREASE TAX REVENUES ALONG THE AREA.
04:18:59PM PART OF WHERE YOU ARE CONCERNED.
04:19:00PM NOT JUST RUNAWAY MONEY.
04:19:03PM INVESTMENT THAT WILL HAVE A RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT AND I
04:19:06PM IMAGINE BE THE TIME WE GET TO THE TEN-YEAR PARK.
04:19:10PM I KNOW THERE IS STATISTICS ON THAT.
04:19:12PM FOR EVERY DOLLAR THAT IS INVESTED IN THIS TYPE OF
04:19:15PM INFRASTRUCTURE, WHAT IS THE EXPECTED RATE OF RETURN ON THIS?
04:19:22PM >>VIK BHIDE: FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, I DON'T KNOW.
04:19:24PM ACROSS THE SITE OF THE RIVER, THE CURRENT RIVER WALK.
04:19:28PM A REPORT BY THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP YEARS AFTER THE
04:19:33PM RIVERWALK WAS BUILT.
04:19:34PM ESTIMATED OVER $1 BILLION OF RETURN FOR INVESTMENT.
04:19:39PM YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
04:19:41PM THIS IS AN INVESTMENT THAT PROVIDES RETURN AND AN INVESTMENT
04:19:45PM IN MULTIMODALITY.
04:19:48PM QUALITY OF LIFE AND SAFETY.
04:19:50PM YES, WE HAVE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS.
04:19:52PM THIS ADDS TO THE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS AND A VERY SELECTIVE
04:19:59PM AND THE ELEMENT SAFETY, EQUITY, AFFORDABILITY.
04:20:04PM AND AFFORDABILITY IS CRITICAL BECAUSE THAT IS THE SECOND
04:20:07PM LARGEST LINE ITEMS IN THE MEDIAN HOUSE HOLD BUDGET AFTER
04:20:12PM HOUSING.
04:20:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THINK OF THAT.
04:20:15PM WHEN I FIRST CAME TO TAMPA, CHANNELSIDE AND WATER STREET
04:20:18PM WERE WAREHOUSES AN ADULT BOOK STORES.
04:20:20PM AND GRANDPARENT A LOT OF TAX MONEY ON THAT.
04:20:25PM BUT WE HAD PEOPLE FOR US -- MAYOR SANDY FREEMAN.
04:20:29PM AND FORMER GOVERNOR OF THE MAYOR THEIR WILL REMAIN NAMELESS
04:20:33PM -- I KNOW BUT I DON'T SPEAK HIS NAME BECAUSE -- BUT THE
04:20:39PM PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE INVESTMENT.
04:20:41PM THE IDEAS.
04:20:42PM WE HAVE THE AQUARIUM.
04:20:45PM WE HAVE THE STREET CAR.
04:20:49PM AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT.
04:20:52PM I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF -- TO THINK ABOUT THE FACT
04:20:58PM THAT THE AQUARIUM WAS STILL THE IDEA AT THE TIME.
04:21:01PM AND NOT A WATER STREET.
04:21:05PM NOT A CHANNELSIDE OR ANYTHING OF THOSE THINGS WITHOUT THAT
04:21:10PM INVESTMENT.
04:21:10PM WE ARE TALKING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
04:21:11PM AND I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THE TAXES THAT WE ARE RECEIVING
04:21:15PM WITH THE DEVELOPMENT WITH DOWNTOWN AND CHANNELSIDE AND SOON
04:21:19PM TO BE GASWORX AND YBOR CITY.
04:21:23PM AND JUST A CRAZY AMOUNT OF MONEY.
04:21:25PM IT IS A $2 BILLION BUDGET OPPOSED TO $6 MILLION BUDGET BACK
04:21:33PM THEN.
04:21:34PM THIS IS MONEY THAT IS GOING TO BE -- IT'S -- IT IS AN
04:21:38PM INVESTMENT.
04:21:38PM WE ARE GOING TO GET A RETURN ON THIS INVESTMENT AND MANY --
04:21:41PM IT WILL BE A POSITIVE RETURN FOR THE TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY
04:21:46PM OF TAMPA.
04:21:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND CARLSON.
04:21:49PM QUICKLY.
04:21:50PM I ALWAYS ASK THESE QUESTIONS THE PROMO CODE, EXTRA 10%, FREE
04:21:55PM SHIPPING.
04:21:56PM I KNOW DO YOU THAT, BUT I AM TRYING TO THINK OF WHATEVER
04:21:59PM OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE SO WE ARE NOT GIVING MONEY TO THE
04:22:03PM BANK.
04:22:03PM IN THE INTEREST OF GOOD USE.
04:22:09PM I SUPPORT THE PROJECT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE THE BEST FINANCIAL
04:22:14PM DECISION.
04:22:14PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
04:22:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
04:22:18PM THAT IS SORT OF THE REPORT HERE.
04:22:19PM BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, WE ARE NOT VOTING ON -- THIS IS A HOPE.
04:22:23PM WHAT IS ON THIS PAPER A HOPE FOR THE $13 MILLION NOT A
04:22:28PM GUARANTEE.
04:22:29PM WE ARE VOTING LITERALLY WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US NOW.
04:22:33PM WE CAN PUT EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF US AND SAY WE HOPE WE HAVE
04:22:37PM TO VOTE FOR WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US NOW.
04:22:40PM THE BIG, BIG ELEPHANT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BUDGET AND MAJOR
04:22:45PM CASTOR COMMENTED ON IT A LITTLE BIT IS C.I.T.
04:22:48PM C.I.T. WILL DO EVERYTHING.
04:22:53PM WE WILL BE VERY CONSERVATIVE IN OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR BECAUSE
04:22:57PM AS PLEASE ROGERO SHOWED, WE LOOKED AT THE CIP, HE HAD THIS
04:23:05PM -- HE HAD ALL THE FIRE STATIONS AND HE HAD THEM BOX IN THE
04:23:09PM GREEN.
04:23:09PM HE SAID THAT DEPENDS WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE CIT.
04:23:12PM GUESS WHAT, CIT DOESN'T PASS, WE HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THOSE
04:23:17PM STATIONS AND WE WILL HAVE TO BOND.
04:23:18PM I WANT TO SAVE THAT BONDING ROOM IN CASE.
04:23:21PM AND I WISH COULD I SAY WE KNOW IT IS GOING TO PASS, BUT WITH
04:23:25PM -- I SAW YESTERDAY, A MILLION MORE REPUBLICANS OPPOSED TO
04:23:32PM DEMOCRATS NOW REGISTERED IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
04:23:37PM THOSE BOOKS ARE CONSERVATIVE.
04:23:39PM THEY DON'T WANT TAXES.
04:23:41PM SCHICK GOING THAT WAY.
04:23:43PM IF THE VOTE GOES THE WAY OF THE COMMISSION.
04:23:45PM WE ARE NOT GETTING THAT MONEY.
04:23:46PM I THINK WE NEED TO BE CONSERVATIVE AND TO ME IT IS NOT
04:23:50PM CONSERVATIVE AND WE HAVE A GREAT.
04:23:52PM I AM REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE AMOUNT OF SPACE WE HAVE IN
04:23:55PM OUR BONDING CAPABILITY BUT THE CHANCE OF US HAVING TO BOND
04:23:59PM ALL OF THOSE FIRE STATIONS AND ALL THESE OTHER NEEDS REALLY
04:24:04PM CONCERNS ME.
04:24:05PM I AM CONCERNED OF THE CONVERSATION ON RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
04:24:09PM RETURN ON INVESTMENT TO SOME PEOPLE CAN MEAN MONEY.
04:24:12PM BUT FOR ME PERSONALLY, I WILL WANT TO LOOK AT THE RUN ON
04:24:17PM INVESTMENT.
04:24:17PM WHY NOT BONDING THE PROBLEMS WITH OUR PARKS.
04:24:20PM WHY ARE WE BONDING ALL THE FIRE STATIONS RIGHT NOW.
04:24:23PM WHY AREN'T WE BONDING TO FINISH PAVING TO ME THE RETURN ON
04:24:34PM INVESTMENTS THAT MAKE OUR CITIZENS BETTER FOR THE ENTIRE
04:24:36PM CITY, NOT JUST THIS PORTION.
04:24:37PM IF WE ARE GOING TO BOND AND TALK OF RETURN ON INVESTMENT, WE
04:24:40PM SHOULD BE BONDING FOR PARKS, FIRE STATIONS AND PAVING IN
04:24:44PM THIS BUDGET.
04:24:50PM [INAUDIBLE]
04:24:50PM NO, IT'S NOT.
04:24:51PM I STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF MINUTES HERE.
04:24:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STORY.
04:24:54PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES, MA'AM.
04:24:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WEST TAMPA CRA DOES NOT TOUCH THIS ENTIRE
04:25:00PM PROJECT -- THE WEST TAMPA CRA DOES NOT TOUCH ALL OF THE
04:25:04PM BOUNDARIES.
04:25:05PM WHAT WE KNOW OF THE CRA THAT MONEY MUST BE USED IN THE
04:25:09PM BOUNDARY AND MUST BE VERY CAREFULLY PORTIONED OUT.
04:25:14PM SO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING ON THAT.
04:25:19PM SO FOR ME, I KNOW THE GOOD OUTWEIGHS THE BAD, BUT I -- I
04:25:26PM HOPE I HEAR THAT WHEN WE HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT 50
04:25:29PM MILLION WE WANTED TO BOND FOR HOUSING.
04:25:31PM WE GOT THE FROM I AM HOPE TOO HERE THAT WHEN WE HAVE THE
04:25:39PM CONVERSATION LATER.
04:25:40PM IF WE CAN'T HAVE A CONVERSATION INFORM BONDING FOR HOUSE
04:25:43PM SWIG A TRUE NEED IN THIS COMMUNITY, THEN WE SHOULDN'T BE
04:25:48PM HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.
04:25:48PM THANK YOU.
04:25:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
04:25:51PM >>BILL CARLSON: AGREE WITH EVERYTHING SHE JUST SAID.
04:25:54PM FIRST I WANT TO MENTION THAT, MR. BHIDE TALKED OF A REPORT
04:26:00PM FROM THE TAMPA DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP AND I CAN'T REMEMBER IF
04:26:02PM I SAW THAT ONE OR NOT BUT ONE OF THE REASONS I WENT TO
04:26:07PM GRADUATE SCHOOLS, HOLES IN IMPACT NUMBERS AND NOT A SINGLE
04:26:11PM ONE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO.
04:26:13PM IF SOMEBODY IS SAYING A BILLION DOLLARS IN EVEN ECONOMIC
04:26:18PM IMPACT AND TAX.
04:26:21PM THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE.
04:26:23PM I HIRE A TEAM OF ECONOMISTS AND SAID THIS IS FALSE.
04:26:28PM AFTER-THOUGHT JUST IF I OCCASION.
04:26:31PM DOWNTOWN -- IF YOU WANT TO SAY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
04:26:34PM INVESTMENT BECAUSE OF THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP.
04:26:36PM YES, I AGREE WITH THAT AND BECAUSE OF THE SPECIAL SERVICES
04:26:39PM AGREEMENT.
04:26:41PM YES, OTHER THINGS CONTRIBUTED TO DOWNTOWN ROAR BUT NOT THE
04:26:44PM RIVERWALK ON ITS OWN DID NOT.
04:26:47PM A FEW THINGS THAT POPPED IN.
04:26:48PM MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE CREDIT TO FOUR GREEN FIELDS FOR BEING
04:26:52PM THERE.
04:26:52PM BESIDE THAT, VERY LITTLE THAT HAS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE
04:26:56PM RIVERWALK.
04:26:57PM AND EVERYBODY WANTS TO LIVE ON THE WATER.
04:26:59PM DEVELOPERS WANT TO DEVELOP ON THE WATER.
04:27:04PM I HOPE THAT WE STOP USING THOSE NUMBERS COMPLETELY.
04:27:07PM IF YOU LOOK AT ROI.
04:27:09PM IF YOU TAKE THE SPV INVESTMENT, $100 MILLION FROM THE CRA.
04:27:18PM YOU COULD YOU SAY A DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN THAT
04:27:22PM INVESTMENT AND THE AD VALOREM TAXES.
04:27:25PM I LIKE KIND OF ANALYSIS.
04:27:26PM I THINK THAT SAY PROP YACHT FOR LOOKING FOR GOVERNMENT USE
04:27:30PM AND YOU CAN MAKE THAT ARGUMENT AND SAYS IT FOR A
04:27:33PM DEVELOPMENT.
04:27:33PM BUILDING A RIVERWALK.
04:27:35PM SVP DID NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE RIVERWALK.
04:27:39PM OTHER DEVELOPMENTS DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE RIVERWALK.
04:27:41PM TALK OF ROE FOR THIS.
04:27:44PM WHAT IS THE EMPTY PLACE?
04:27:45PM WHERE IS SOMEBODY GOING TO DEVELOP.
04:27:47PM ONE OF THE BIG SPACE IS BLAKE DISCUSSED BEHIND THE SCENES BY
04:27:50PM A LOT OF PEOPLE.
04:27:51PM I REMEMBER WHEN BLAKE WAS MOVED 30 YEARS AGO.
04:27:57PM VERY CONTROVERSIAL.
04:27:58PM COMMUNITY THAT WENT TO BLANK DIDN'T WANT MOVED.
04:28:02PM COMPETITION FROM BLAKE, AND WAS TRYING TO SELL IT TO BUILD
04:28:07PM 20, 30 STORY CONDOS THERE.
04:28:09PM IF YOU BUILD THIS.
04:28:10PM AND THEN SOMEBODY BUILDS A 30-STORY CONDO.
04:28:15PM YOU COULD SAY THAT RIGHT NOW NO DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE UNLIKE
04:28:19PM THE REST OF DOWNTOWN, BUT STILL WHY WOULD THAT BE YOUR GOAL
04:28:23PM IF THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PLACES AN AREAS YOU CAN DEVELOP
04:28:25PM IN THIS CITY.
04:28:26PM IF YOU TOOK IN MONEY AND INVEST IT IN WEST TAMPA, YOU CAN DO
04:28:31PM SO MANY MORE THINGS.
04:28:32PM REALLY THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CHOICE HAS IN WE ARE LOOKING
04:28:35PM AT.
04:28:36PM ONE IS HOW MUCH DEBT.
04:28:37PM A LONG DISCUSSION THAT CHAIR MANISCALCO WAS TALKING ABOUT.
04:28:42PM HOW TO REDUCE THE DEBT AND WILL SAVE YOU 25 MILLION.
04:28:47PM AND WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF THE $58 MILLION THAT
04:28:51PM TAXPAYERS IN COMPANY WILL PUT INTO THIS.
04:28:53PM WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF THE THINGS PEOPLE COULD
04:28:57PM COME.
04:28:57PM WHERE ELSE COULD WE SPEND THAT MONEY.
04:28:59PM THE COMMUNITY IS TELLING US LOUD AND CLEAR FIX OUR ROADS AND
04:29:04PM PARKS WALK EMERGENCY BIKE COMPANY WAS HERE SUPPORTING US
04:29:09PM TODAY, BUT IF WE GAVE THEM A CHOICE AND SPEND $58 UNTIL ON
04:29:14PM SIDEWALKS.
04:29:14PM FIX MOST OF THE SIDEWALK PROBLEMS IN THE CITY AND BUILD
04:29:17PM CROSSWALKS TO MAKE IT SAFER WHERE WE CAN BUILD BIKE LANES
04:29:21PM THROUGHOUT THE CITY FROM A RO, THAT IS MUCH MORE IMPACTFUL
04:29:25PM THAN BUILDING ONE SMALL PROJECT.
04:29:27PM I AM IN FAVOR OF BUILDING ARREST RIVERWALK AND THE COST OF
04:29:35PM DEBT IS HIGH.
04:29:35PM THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF NEGLECTING ALL THE THINGS THAT WE
04:29:39PM HAVE BEEN INVESTING IN IS VERY DIFFICULT.
04:29:42PM THE LAST THING IS THAT WE -- LET ME SAY THIS.
04:29:45PM WE TALK OF DIFFER WAYS TO PAY THIS OFF.
04:29:48PM ALL THAT IS IN THE FUTURE.
04:29:49PM I CAN'T IMAGINE AN ADMINISTRATION THAT IS ALREADY APPROVAL
04:29:53PM FOR BONDING CAPACITY WILL SUDDENLY CANCEL THAT AND USE THAT
04:29:55PM CAPACITY ON SOMETHING ELSE.
04:29:57PM I DON'T THINK IT WILL EVER GET PAID OFF.
04:30:00PM NOT A PRUDENT POLITICAL OR ECONOMIC DECISION.
04:30:03PM SOME WE ARE GOING TO BE STUCK WITH THIS DEBT INTO THE FUTURE
04:30:07PM AND WHATEVER NEW REVENUES WILL BE USED FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
04:30:10PM LAST THING IS, ALL THE EXAMPLES THAT FOLKS GAVE OF OTHER
04:30:14PM GREAT PROJECTS THAT THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION ALREADY HAS
04:30:19PM SEVERAL TROPHY PROJECTS THAT THEY SPENT MONEY ON.
04:30:22PM 200 MILLION.
04:30:24PM 220 MILLION OFFICE BUILDING IF YOU INCLUDE EVERYTHING.
04:30:28PM $ 00 MILLION PARK AND $80 MILLION TO $100 MILLION RIVER
04:30:34PM WALK.
04:30:35PM THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS ENOUGH TO PUT IN YOUR VIDEO FOR TWO
04:30:38PM YEARS AND YOU DON'T NEED TO SPEND THIS MONEY NOW.
04:30:41PM SO MANY ON ETC. OWN A GREAT ANYTHING AND FOR THE COMMUNITY,
04:30:48PM BUT SO MANY BASICS THINGS WE NEED THAT WE SHOULD BE SPENDING
04:30:52PM MONEY ON.
04:30:52PM DON'T HAVE AUTISM AREAS OAR DISABILITY AMENITIES IN PARKS
04:30:56PM THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
04:30:56PM THINK OF THE THINGS WE CAN SPEND THIS MONEY ON.
04:30:58PM NOT A GOOD TIME TO DO IT.
04:31:00PM THANK YOU.
04:31:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, WERE YOU
04:31:04PM FIRST?
04:31:04PM OR CAN I GO TO COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
04:31:06PM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON AND THEN COUNCILMAN VIERA.
04:31:09PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I WANT MR. ROGERO TO RESPOND WITH THE
04:31:14PM BUDGET.
04:31:14PM WITH THE PUBLIC IS LISTENING THAT WE ARE NOT FORGETTING
04:31:22PM HOUSING, ROADS AND HOUSING WITH OUR PARKS.
04:31:26PM THEY ARE PART OF OUR BUDGET.
04:31:27PM NOT LIKE WE ARE DOING THIS PROJECT AND IGNORING EVERYTHING
04:31:31PM ELSE.
04:31:33PM IF -- LET'S TAKE EVEN SIDEWALKS, FOR EXAMPLE.
04:31:37PM EVEN IF WE BONDED SIDEWALKS.
04:31:39PM CAN WE DO IT FASTER?
04:31:41PM WILL STILL TAKE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TIME TO BUILD OUT THE
04:31:44PM SIDEWALKS WE NEED TO FINISH THE PIPES PROJECT WILL TAKE US
04:31:48PM YEARS.
04:31:48PM AND SO WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE CONSTANTLY -- OR AT
04:31:52PM LEAST I DO.
04:31:53PM WE CAN'T FIX THE ROAD UNLESS WE FIX THE PIPES.
04:31:56PM MAKES SENSE TO FIX THE PIPES.
04:31:57PM WE FIX THE ROAD, WE WILL HAVE TO TEAR UP THE ROAD TO FIX THE
04:32:01PM PIPES.
04:32:01PM CAN CONSTANTLY EXPLAINING THIS TO THE PUBLIC AND I DON'T
04:32:04PM WANT THE PUBLIC WHO IS LISTENING TO TODAY THINK THAT WE ARE
04:32:08PM IGNORING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES JUST FOR THIS PARTICULAR
04:32:12PM WEST RIVER MULTIMODAL -- PLEASE OBJECT OUR BUDGET AS IT
04:32:20PM RELATES TO OTHER THINGS WHILE WE ARE TRYING TO SUPPORT THE
04:32:23PM -- THE GROWTH OF TAMPA AND -- WHAT WAS THIS -- WHAT WAS THE
04:32:30PM WORD, COUNCILMAN CARLSON, WHAT DID YOU USE, WHAT DID YOU
04:32:34PM CALL THIS, A TROPHY PROJECT?
04:32:36PM THAT IS -- I BELIEVE THAT IS A CLEAR EXAGGERATION OF THE
04:32:41PM MENTAL HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.
04:32:42PM IT IS JUST UNFAIR TO CALL IT TROPHY.
04:32:45PM THAT IS HOW FAMILIES LIKE MYSELF AS SINGLE PARENT.
04:32:51PM I HAD TO MAKE MY CHILD OUTSIDE FOR FREE TO HAVE FUN.
04:32:55PM DON'T LOOK AT IT AS A THROW KNEE PROJECT, LOOK AT IT AS AN
04:32:59PM OUTDOOR BEAUTIFUL HEALTH SPACE THAT GIVES EVERYONE AN
04:33:03PM OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE IN IT, NOT ONLY THE TAMPA COMMUNITY,
04:33:07PM BUT ALSO OUR VISITORS.
04:33:08PM SO PLEASE ADDRESS THE BUDGET FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.
04:33:13PM >>VIK BHIDE: COUNCILWOMAN, GREAT POINT ON HAVING VARIOUS
04:33:16PM NEEDS.
04:33:16PM AND WE HAVE TO BALANCE ALL NEEDS AND INVEST IN ALL OF THEM.
04:33:22PM I WILL SPEAK TO TRANSPORTATION INITIALLY AND I WILL TOUCH ON
04:33:26PM STORMWATER AS WELL, BUT BY NO MEANS ARE WE IGNORING OUR
04:33:30PM NEEDS OUT THERE.
04:33:32PM OUR NEEDS ARE VAST.
04:33:33PM THE PLAN DOES IDENTIFY $2 BILLION OF NEEDS AS OF 2022.
04:33:38PM ESTIMATE.
04:33:40PM AND SO THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT CERTAINLY, BUT
04:33:45PM IN THE MEANTIME, A FEW ITEMS FROM NOW I WILL BE PROVIDING A
04:33:50PM AN UPDATE ON OUR PAVING AND SIDEWALK WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE.
04:33:53PM AND THERE IS REALLY GOOD INFORMATION ON HOW WE HAVE
04:33:57PM SIGNIFICANTLY RAMPED UP BOTH.
04:33:58PM AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT REPORT.
04:34:00PM ON THE NEED FOR CROSSWALKS AND BIKE LANES AND ALL OF THE
04:34:04PM THINGS THAT ARE ALSO NEEDED THIS REDUCE TRANSPORTATION
04:34:07PM COSTS AND IMPROVE AFFORDABILITY.
04:34:11PM SIMILAR TO THIS PROJECT, WE HAVE THE SAFE STREET, AN THANKS
04:34:17PM TO COUNCIL, YOU APPROVED THAT GRANT WAS $20 MILLION.
04:34:21PM WE HAD $6 MILLION MATCH TO THAT GRANT.
04:34:25PM 75 BUFFER OF THOSE FUNDS WILL BE SPENT IN UNDERSERVED
04:34:30PM COMMUNITIES, COMMUNITIES WITH HIGH CHILDHOOD POVERTY.
04:34:33PM COMMUNITIES WITH LOWER ACCESS RELATIVE TO CAR OWNERSHIP.
04:34:36PM MORE TRANSIT DEPENDENCY.
04:34:40PM SO THAT IS ALSO PART OF THIS STRATEGY.
04:34:43PM AND ALL OF THIS COMES TOGETHER AND THE NEXT THREE OR FOUR
04:34:49PM YEARS ALONG WITH THE WEST RIVERWALK, SEE A LOT OF THE
04:34:54PM INVESTMENT MADE AND NOT IGNORED.
04:34:55PM WHAT WE DO HAVE IN FRONT OF US IS AN OPPORTUNITY WITH
04:34:59PM SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS AVAILABLE THAT WE CAN LEARN
04:35:03PM TO REFUSE OUR COSTS.
04:35:05PM SO WE ARE ALREADY BEING FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE BY BRINGING
04:35:09PM IN THESE GRANDS AND, YES, COSTS HAVE GONE UP.
04:35:12PM THE OPPORTUNITY IS IT IS NOT RIGHT THERE WAS HE SPEAK.
04:35:17PM AND IT IS A LONG-TERM PROGRESS.
04:35:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA.
04:35:26PM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, APPRECIATE THAT.
04:35:28PM LET ME IS THAT $3 BILLION FROM CONGRESSWOMAN CASTOR HAS BEEN
04:35:35PM REQUESTED?
04:35:36PM >>VIK BHIDE: ASKED AN AS EARMARK.
04:35:40PM NOT APPROVED YET.
04:35:41PM WE DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL BE A LESSER AMOUNT OR HIGHER
04:35:43PM AMOUNT.
04:35:44PM >>LUIS VIERA: ABSOLUTELY.
04:35:46PM WHEN DID WE APPROVE THE $10 MILLION RESPECTIVELY AS CRA.
04:35:51PM DOES ANYBODY KNOW?
04:35:53PM SEPTEMBER?
04:35:53PM OKAY, COMING UP.
04:35:54PM GOOD LET ME ASK YOU -- BY THE WAY MY POSITION WHEN IT COMES
04:35:59PM TO WEST TAMPA CRA.
04:36:00PM NUMBER ONE, IT APPEARS -- CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THE BOARD
04:36:04PM SUPPORTS THIS?
04:36:06PM >>VIK BHIDE: DON'T KNOW THAT.
04:36:07PM ULTIMATELY THE PROCESS IS THAT THE DEPARTMENT MAKES A
04:36:12PM REQUEST TO STAFF.
04:36:13PM AND THAT IS FOR THE -- FOR THE JUNE 13 PROCESS THAT THIS
04:36:18PM BOARD AS CRA BOARD APPROVED THAT THE PRIMARY DEPARTMENT
04:36:24PM WORKS WITH CRA STAFF.
04:36:25PM THE CRA STAFF SCHEDULES A PRESENTATION WITH THE CAC.
04:36:30PM AND THE COMMUNITY WILL CONSIDER THIS.
04:36:33PM AND ABSOLUTELY, WE WILL PRESENT WHAT THE BENEFITS ARE
04:36:38PM DIRECTLY TO WEST TAMPA RELATIVE TO THE REQUEST.
04:36:43PM THIS WAS ASKED FOR BY THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.
04:36:45PM THE PRESENTATION WILL DO THAT.
04:36:46PM AND DEPEND BE ON HOW THE COMMUNITY VOTES ONE WAY OR THE
04:36:50PM OTHER.
04:36:50PM IT WILL THEN COME TO YOU ARE AS THE CRA BOARD FOR APPROVAL
04:36:56PM AND DENIAL.
04:36:56PM >>LUIS VIERA: I WOULD THINK UP HERE WE HAVE THE VOTES
04:37:02PM NOR CRA FUNDING FOR THIS INITIATIVE, UP TO $10 MILLION.
04:37:04PM AND, FEBRUARY, LIKE I SAID, WAYS TO MR. MONDAY THE NEGATIVE
04:37:09PM ON THIS BY MAKING IT BETTER AND I THINK THE GOOD OUTWEIGHS
04:37:14PM THE BAD.
04:37:15PM MAY GOT TOP OF THE $3 MILLION
04:37:18PM AND WHY EVEN TALK ABOUT IT.
04:37:20PM BUT, YEAH, AND AGAIN, WE HAD A LOT OF BIG PROJECTS IN BOTH
04:37:24PM THE CRA AND THE CITY OF TAMPA BUDGET THAT HAS BEEN
04:37:28PM CONTROVERSIAL.
04:37:28PM SOME THAT MAYBE SOME PEOPLE SAY I WISHED I WOULD HAVE
04:37:33PM REQUESTED SOME QUESTIONS.
04:37:34PM AS A COUNCIL, WE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES.
04:37:36PM I WON'T GET SPECIFIC PROBLEMS BUT SOME WHERE -- SOME THAT I
04:37:43PM THINK WE ALL FEEL THIS, I WISHED WE ASKED MORE QUESTIONS.
04:37:47PM YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT WHETHER THE GOOD OUTWEIGHS THE BAD.
04:37:51PM MOST PROJECTS ARE SOMETHING GOOD.
04:37:53PM BIGGER PROJECTS THAT I VOTED AGAINST AND CRA TO ANOTHER $20
04:37:58PM MILLION TO THE MUSEUM OF ART.
04:37:59PM ANOTHER 20,000 TO THE STRAZ CENTER.
04:38:01PM A TON OF GOOD THERE.
04:38:02PM IN MY OPINION, LOOKING AT WHAT WE CAN USE THE DOLLARS FOR IN
04:38:06PM DOWNTOWN CRA, BAD OUTWEIGHED THE GOOD.
04:38:09PM IS THERE GOOD THERE, ABSOLUTELY.
04:38:12PM I DON'T THINK PEOPLE IGNORE THAT --

04:38:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES?
04:38:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION.
04:38:49PM MR. -- OR COUNCILMAN VIERA BROUGHT UP A VERY GOOD POINT
04:38:53PM ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT -- WHAT WE LEARN FROM DIFFERENT
04:38:59PM PROJECTS.
04:38:59PM AND FOR ME WHAT W WE NEED TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT WENT WRONG THE
04:39:05PM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
04:39:06PM WHAT I AM ASKING FOR -- I MAKE A MOTION.
04:39:09PM I WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE ALL THE
04:39:12PM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN YOU AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DECIPHER
04:39:20PM WHAT WENT WRONG.
04:39:21PM AGAIN, I AM NOT PUTTING ANY BLAME ANYWHERE WE ALL NEED TO
04:39:30PM LEARN OF THIS.
04:39:31PM IF WE CAN GET THE COMMUNICATION BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN YOU
04:39:33PM AND THE DEPARTMENT.
04:39:34PM ABOUT HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE FOR TO YOU GET TO US?
04:39:41PM >>VIK BHIDE: I WOULD SAY A COUPLE OF WEEKS, IF THAT WORKS.
04:39:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO MEAL THAT TO US BY
04:39:48PM AUGUST 1.
04:39:51PM >>VIK BHIDE: MAY I REQUEST IF THAT IS A MOTION, BY ALL MEANS
04:39:53PM WE WILL SEND ALL OF THAT -- BECAUSE IT IS PUBLIC
04:39:56PM INFORMATION, OF COURSE.
04:39:58PM YOU MENTIONED THE QUESTION WHAT WENT WRONG.
04:40:01PM AND I DON'T THINK ANYTHING WENT WRONG ALL I THINK IS PRICES
04:40:07PM INCREASE OVER TIME WHICH RAISE THE COST OF THE PROJECT
04:40:10PM SIMILAR TO ANY OTHER INITIATIVE RELATIVE TO THAT.
04:40:13PM THE QUESTION THAT WAS IN FRONT OF US WHICH IS VOTED ON NOW.
04:40:19PM EVEN AT THIS COST?
04:40:22PM PROJECT VALUABLE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE RETURNS TO THE ENTIRE
04:40:26PM COMMUNITY AND STAFF'S POSITION IN THAT IS, BECAUSE IT HITS
04:40:32PM UPON SO MANY AREAS OF THE CITY'S NEED.
04:40:35PM THESE AREN'T WANTS NECESSARILY.
04:40:38PM BUT MY POSITION IS GETTING A GRANT FROM FOUR YEARS AGO TO
04:40:45PM FINALIZING THIS NOW.
04:40:46PM SO TO ME THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WENT WRONG BECAUSE FOUR
04:40:52PM YEARS TO GET HERE.
04:40:54PM IF WE WERE ACTUALLY DONE TO DO WHAT WE DO IN 2020, MAYBE WE
04:40:58PM WOULD BE IN A DIFFERENT SPOT.
04:41:01PM THAT'S WHAT I AM SAYING.
04:41:02PM I DON'T WANT TO PONTIFICATE ON WHAT TYPE OF THINGS HAPPENED,
04:41:06PM SO I AM ASKING FOR THE COMMUNICATION SO WE CAN LEARN FROM
04:41:10PM IT, SO AS COUNCIL, WE CAN FIGURE OUT, HEY, WE GOT A GRANT
04:41:13PM FOR THE SEAWALL IN PALMETTO BEACH.
04:41:20PM YEAH, THERE IS.
04:41:21PM THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN LET THAT GO FOR FOUR YEARS.
04:41:24PM SORRY, MR. SHELBY.
04:41:26PM DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FOR ME?
04:41:28PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MY RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU REPHRASE AND
04:41:30PM REFRAME YOUR MOTION TO BE MORE SPECIFIC AS TO THE TYPES OF
04:41:33PM DOCUMENTS, PERIOD OF TIME AND WHAT IT IS THAT YOU ARE
04:41:38PM LOOKING FOR RATHER THAN CHARACTERISTIC OF IT.
04:41:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK: HOW ABOUT THIS.
04:41:43PM A DOCUMENTATION FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE GRANT PROJECTS
04:41:45PM WHICH I AM GUESSING 2019 TO 2024.
04:41:48PM BETWEEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THIS -- AND THE
04:41:57PM REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA.
04:41:58PM THEN FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA THAT SPOKE PERTAINING TO THE
04:42:02PM WEST RIVER WALK GARAGE PROJECT.
04:42:06PM THIS PARTICULAR GRANT WHICH IS WITH THE TAMPA MULTINODAL
04:42:12PM SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
04:42:13PM WHATEVER NAME THAT YOU WENT IN BY THE GRANT.
04:42:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION.
04:42:17PM DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
04:42:24PM A SECOND.
04:42:24PM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
04:42:25PM >>LUIS VIERA: I APPRECIATE THAT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK TO LOOK
04:42:28PM AT THINGS IN THE FUTURE, ETC.
04:42:30PM NUMBER ONE, THE WAY IT WAS BROUGHT UP IN TERMS OF SOMETHING
04:42:36PM GOING WRONG.
04:42:36PM I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT WITH THE FEDERAL
04:42:39PM GOVERNMENT AND POSTHUMOUSLY ON THE ISSUES.
04:42:43PM I WOULD BE AMENABLE WITH AN INDIVIDUAL'S REQUEST RATHER THAN
04:42:47PM COMING FROM COUNCIL WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FEDERAL
04:42:51PM GOVERNMENT.
04:42:51PM I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE THING.
04:42:53PM I THINK AN INDIVIDUAL REQUEST COULD ACCOMPLISH THE SAME
04:42:56PM THING.
04:42:56PM AND I DON'T WANT TO TURN WHAT IS A WIN IN OUR RELATIONSHIP
04:43:00PM WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS TO SOMETHING THAT COULD
04:43:02PM RESULT IN SCRUTINY FROM US TO THEM.
04:43:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A MOTION AND SECOND.
04:43:10PM ROLL CALL.
04:43:11PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: MY LIGHT IS ON FOR DISCUSSION.
04:43:12PM THANK YOU.
04:43:13PM I WAS KIND OF THROWN OFF BY THE VERBIAGE WHAT WENT WRONG IF
04:43:18PM IT IS JUST ASKING FOR COMMUNICATION.
04:43:20PM WE ARE ENTITLED TO THAT AS PUBLIC RECORD AND I CAN SUPPORT
04:43:24PM THAT.
04:43:24PM AND SHE DID MODIFY THAT REQUEST TO TAKE OUT THAT VERBIAGE TO
04:43:28PM SAY, JUST ASKING FOR THE COMMUNICATION.
04:43:30PM COMPARING IT TO WHAT HAPPENED IN PALMETTO BEACH, OUR
04:43:36PM GOVERNOR DID SLASH THE BUDGET AND TAKE AWAY THE $1 MILLION
04:43:41PM APPROPRIATED AT THE LAST MINUTE FOR THE SEAWALL AND KATHY
04:43:45PM CASTOR GAVE US A MILLION AND I HAD SAID NO IN A LITTLE BIT
04:43:49PM OF AN COURT WHERE BURST.
04:43:51PM BUT I CAN SUPPORT HER ASKING FOR DOCUMENTS.
04:43:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SORRY, I WANTED TO CLARIFY FOR YOU, THE $24
04:43:57PM MILLION GRANT FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
04:43:59PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: RIGHT, YEAH, YEAH.
04:44:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK: NOT THE MILLION.
04:44:04PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: BUT YOU USED THAT AS AN EXAMPLE.
04:44:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SORRY, SORRY.

04:45:37PM WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
04:45:39PM SECONDS FROM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
04:45:40PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
04:45:41PM ALL RIGHT.
04:45:41PM MR. BHIDE, ITEM 119.
04:45:46PM YOU ARE TO PROVIDE A FIVE-MINUTE QUARTERLY UPDATE AS TO WHEN
04:45:50PM HABANA AVENUE, SOUTH OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. WILL BE
04:45:53PM REPAIRED.
04:45:54PM WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO I GET?
04:45:58PM YEAH, BAN IS TER HABANA IS TERRIBLE.
04:46:05PM MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
04:46:09PM SOUTH OF HABANA IS PRETTY BAD.
04:46:12PM I WILL THROW THAT OUT THERE.
04:46:14PM >>VIK BHIDE: VIK BHIDE, DIRECTOR MOBILITY ON 119.
04:46:17PM COUNCIL REQUESTED A FIVE-MINUTE QUARTERLY UPDATE ON PAVING
04:46:21PM AND SIDEWALK ACTIVITIES.
04:46:23PM FOR THE RECORD, THE REQUEST FOR HABANA IS NOTED AND I WILL
04:46:29PM PASS IT ALONG TO OUR TEAM.
04:46:31PM OUR CRITERIA, OF COURSE, WITH IS PAVEMENT CONDITION AND
04:46:36PM EQUITY FOR OUR IN-HOUSE PAVING PROCESS.
04:46:40PM SO I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT AGAIN OUR OPERATIONS TEAM.
04:46:45PM TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS HAVE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN
04:46:49PM ADAPTING TWO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES BUT ALSO IN THE SHORT TIME
04:46:54PM FRAME TURNING OUT SIGNIFICANT PRODUCTION I HAD STATISTICS
04:47:03PM RELATED TO THAT.
04:47:03PM OUR TEAM LEAD IS BRIAN ROGER, OUR OPERATIONS MANAGER
04:47:07PM SUPPORTED BY MIKE BROWN AND JERRELL TURNER AND THEIR TEAMS
04:47:12PM THAT DO A LOT OF THE WORK.
04:47:14PM I HAVE A DIAGRAM HERE WHICH BASICALLY SHOWS IN FY '24 AFTER
04:47:23PM COUNCIL APPROVED ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND WE ARE VERY
04:47:27PM GRATEFUL FOR THAT IN RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR PEACHING, WE
04:47:32PM -- WE WERE APPROVED CERTAIN POSITIONS AND CERTAIN AMOUNTS OF
04:47:35PM MONEY TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT.
04:47:37PM SO BEFORE WE COULD EVEN DO THAT WE STARTED MENTIONING
04:47:46PM EQUIPMENT.
04:47:46PM AND THE FIRST QUARTER, OF COURSE, OUR PRODUCTION WAS LESSER.
04:47:50PM WE DID ABOUT SIX LANE MILES.
04:47:52PM THAT IS ALSO WHEN THE SAME TEAM ALSO SUPPORTS A LOT OF
04:47:56PM SPECIAL EVENTS.
04:47:57PM SO THERE IS THAT.
04:47:58PM BY THE SECOND QUARTER THAT WENT UP TO ALMOST 10 MILES.
04:48:02PM AND BY THE THIRD QUARTER.
04:48:04PM APRIL THROUGH JUNE, WE HAVE SEEN 17 MILES OF PAVING.
04:48:11PM WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK AN WE ARE LEARNING BETTER AS WELL.
04:48:15PM THE OPERATIONS TEAM WORK VERY WELL WITH OUR ENGINEERING TEAM
04:48:19PM ON THE STORMWATER SITE, THEY MEET BEFORE PROJECTS TO THINK
04:48:22PM OF POOLING AND PONDING ISSUES AND THING LIKE THAT.
04:48:26PM AND THEY WORK WITH OUR ENGINEERING FOLKS AND OUR VISION ZERO
04:48:30PM ENGINEER TO REDESIGN, ESPECIALLY COLLECTORS SO, FOR EXAMPLE,
04:48:34PM RIGHT NOW, THE TEAM IS AROUND THE HOWARD AND SWANN AREA.
04:48:41PM BETWEEN SWANN AND KENNEDY.
04:48:44PM WE PICKED THAT AREA PARTLY BECAUSE OF PAVEMENT CONDITION BUT
04:48:48PM ALSO TO MATCH THE COUNTY'S PROJECT IN HOWARD AND ARMENIA.
04:48:51PM WE HAVE MORE FOR RETURN ON INVESTMENT STANDPOINT SO ON
04:48:56PM HOWARD AS PART OF THAT, WE WILL HAVE A PIPELINE AND ADD
04:48:59PM SIGNIFICANT LEE MORE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES AS A TRAFFIC
04:49:06PM CALMING STRATEGY AND A WIDE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
04:49:09PM THE MOVER OF IT THAT WE USE FOR MULTIMODAL ASSETS, THE LOWER
04:49:15PM WE EXPECT SPEEDS TO BE AS WELL SO THAT WAS ONE EXAMPLE.
04:49:20PM WE HAVE DONE ALL OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE SHOWN OUT HERE
04:49:25PM WHERE WE GOT STARTED IN YBOR CITY.
04:49:28PM RIGHT NOW THE TEAM, OF COURSE, AS I MENTIONED OF HOWARD AND
04:49:34PM FOR THE CITY.
04:49:35PM AND OUR NEXT NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING TO BE SULPHUR SPRINGS.
04:49:44PM WE WILL BE IN THE YUKON AND 22nd STREET AREA AFTER WE ARE
04:49:50PM DONE WITH HOWARD AVENUE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD EAST OF THERE.
04:49:53PM WHEN WE WILL COME BACK TO ARMENIA.
04:49:56PM THE REASON WE ARE DOING THAT IS WANT TO SPREAD THE WORK
04:49:59PM AROUND SO THE BENEFITS GO EVERYONE.
04:50:01PM AND ARMENIA WILL BE REDESIGNED AND THE ENGINEERING TEAM IS
04:50:06PM WORKING IN THE MEANTIME.
04:50:07PM WE ARE REALLY RAMPING UP THE WORK THAT WE DO.
04:50:10PM AND WE -- AND WE ANTICIPATE OUR NEW PAVER, WHICH THE
04:50:14PM DELIVERY WAS DELAYED UNFORTUNATELY TO COME IN WITHIN THE
04:50:17PM NEXT THREE WEEKS.
04:50:18PM SO RELATIVE TO THE LAST UPDATE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OF
04:50:27PM PRODUCTION IN PAVING AND MAPS OF ALL THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND
04:50:34PM MAPS FOR PAVING AND RESURFACING.
04:50:36PM LET'S LOOK AT SIDEWALK REPAIRS I WILL JUST PUT AN IMAGE OUT
04:50:41PM THERE OF CONTRACT THAT COUNCIL APPROVED A CHANGE ORDER TO
04:50:46PM TODAY.
04:50:46PM THAT WAS THE GILLEN SIDEWALKS CONTRACT.
04:50:51PM THIS IS THE GRINDING MACHINE.
04:50:52PM A VERY INTERESTING MACHINE GRINDS THE SIDEWALKS OUT AND
04:50:58PM VACUUMS AND SUCKS UP MATERIAL IN THE BACK ALL AT THE SAME
04:51:01PM TIME.
04:51:01PM WE USE THIS CONTRACTOR TO MITIGATE TRIP AND FALL HAZARD ON
04:51:09PM EXISTING SIDEWALKS AND WHERE WE MITIGATE BECAUSE NOT TO
04:51:13PM GRIND TOO MUCH.
04:51:14PM WE USE THE OTHER CONTRACT YOU APPROVED TODAY AS WELL.
04:51:16PM THANK YOU FOR THAT TO REPLACE PANELS.
04:51:18PM THROUGH THE LAST QUARTER, OUR PRODUCTION WITH THE SIDEWALK
04:51:26PM MAINTENANCE TEAM.
04:51:26PM AND WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A YEAR AND A HALF HAS BEEN
04:51:34PM ALMOST 10,000 LINEAR FEET OF NEW SIDEWALK PANELS ON EXISTING
04:51:39PM SIDEWALK.
04:51:39PM BETTER WALKABILITY AND 19,000 LINEAR FEET OF SIDEWALK
04:51:43PM GRINDING.
04:51:44PM THIS HAS -- THIS BASICALLY MEANS BETTER WALKABILITY, LESSER
04:51:49PM TRIP AND FALL HAZARDS, MINIMIZE RISKS, BETTER ACCESS.
04:51:54PM AND THESE ARE THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE WORKED ON IN THE
04:51:57PM LAST QUARTER, BUT AS WE MENTIONED A YEAR AND A HALF GO USING
04:52:06PM MONIES BY THE WAY.
04:52:08PM USING MONEY GENERATED BY VEHICLES TOWARD WALKABILITY AND
04:52:12PM CHIPPING AWAY AT IT.
04:52:13PM WITHIN FOUR YEARS TO COVER THE ENTIRE CITY AND MITIGATE 09
04:52:18PM TO 95% OF TRIP HAZARDS.
04:52:21PM FORGIVE THE HARDY MAP.
04:52:24PM BUT WE HAVE GONE ALL THE WAY FROM ALASKA TO PADAGONIA AND
04:52:33PM TAMPA SO THESE ARE ATLAS PAGES, OF COURSE, OR ATLAS
04:52:39PM SEGMENTS.
04:52:40PM AS YOU CAN SEE WE ALMOST COMPLETED 50% OF THE CITY AT THIS
04:52:44PM POINT.
04:52:45PM WE HAVE DONE NEW TAMPA, PORT TAMPA, EAST TAMPA.
04:52:49PM AND WE CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH THIS ONE NEIGHBORHOOD AT A
04:52:54PM TIME.
04:52:54PM OUR VISION ZERO TECH TEAM.
04:52:59PM ONE NEIGHBORHOOD AT A TIME.
04:53:01PM WE HAVE A LOT MORE THAN EFFICIENCY AND THE TIME WE SPEND IN
04:53:06PM THESE NEIGHBORHOODS IN DOING THAT.
04:53:08PM SO I AM REALLY HAPPY TO REPORT THIS, BECAUSE ALL OF THESE
04:53:11PM ARE IN HOUSE FORCES.
04:53:13PM A LOT OF CREATIVITY ON THE TEAM'S PART AND A LOT OF
04:53:19PM DILIGENCE ON THE TEAM'S PART AS WELL AND I AM SURE YOU ARE
04:53:23PM HEARING FROM NEIGHBORS THAT THEY ARE SEEING PAVING ALL OVER
04:53:27PM THE CITY BECAUSE IT IS BEING DONE ALL OVER THE CITY AND
04:53:31PM CONTINUE WITH THAT CLIP.
04:53:33PM AS YOU CAN CONSIDER THE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET FOR FY '25.
04:53:38PM MY OPINION WOULD BE TO PLEASE CONTINUE MOBILITY FOR PAVING
04:53:44PM AND SIDEWALKS AND THAT IS YOUR PRIORITY AS WELL.
04:53:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN ASKED FOR
04:53:48PM RECOGNIZED FIRST.
04:53:50PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUPLE OF THINGS.
04:53:52PM DO YOU KNOW OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD HOW MANY MILES OF
04:53:57PM PAVING DID YOU IN FY '23 FOR COMPARISON?
04:54:00PM >>VIK BHIDE: I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER ON ME, BUT FOR
04:54:02PM COMPARISON, WE WOULD DO FOUR TO FIVE MILES PER QUARTER AND I
04:54:06PM WANT TO SAY ABOUT 25 MILES AT BEST.
04:54:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 20 AND 25 REALLY.
04:54:13PM WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE FOURTH QUARTER TO LOOK LIKE.
04:54:18PM >> FOURTH QUARTER NEIGHBORHOOD.
04:54:20PM I HAVE A LIST.
04:54:22PM >> AS FAR AS THE -- LINEAR MILES?
04:54:25PM >>VIK BHIDE: SAME OR MORE.
04:54:26PM SAME OR MORE.
04:54:27PM DEFINITELY SAME OR MORE.
04:54:30PM AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE ARE GOING TO NEXT OTHER THAN.
04:54:34PM ARE AFTER SULPHUR SPRINGS RATHER ARE PHASE TWO.
04:54:40PM THEN MAIN STREET WHICH IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH WEST TAMPA.
04:54:46PM THEN SULPHUR SPRINGS PHASE TWO.
04:54:49PM AND THEN SUNSET PARK AFTER THAT.
04:54:51PM CLENDENIN DO YOU BE A TREMENDOUS JOB OF ASPHALT PAVING.
04:55:01PM WHY ARE WE NOT BRINGING SIDEWALKS IN.
04:55:06PM >>VIK BHIDE: A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
04:55:07PM THAT IS BASED ON RESOURCES.
04:55:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SEEING THE PAVING
04:55:17PM AROUND TOWN BECAUSE WE ARE DOING IT OURSELVES.
04:55:20PM HOW TO EX-PER DIET THE WALK SIDEWALK BY -- [WHISPERING]
04:55:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LYNN IS TRYING TO BE A COMEDIAN.
04:55:33PM >>VIK BHIDE: EVERYBODY IS TAKING YOUR JOB TODAY.
04:55:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EXACTLY.
04:55:36PM THE SHORT ANSWER IS -- THE IN-HOUSE CAPACITY TAKES A LITTLE
04:55:42PM BIT OF TIME.
04:55:42PM WE ARE FOCUSED ON PEACHING, THE NEXT IS THE CONCRETE TEAM
04:55:46PM THAT CAN DO SIDEWALKS AND ACCEPT RATED BIKE LANES AND
04:55:51PM STORMWATER FACILITY AND THOSE SORT OF THINGS.
04:55:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LOOKING AT FY '25 BUDGET.
04:55:59PM WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR US TO DO SOMETHING TO START TO HAVE THE
04:56:02PM PROCESS OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE CAPABILITY.
04:56:04PM >>VIK BHIDE: IN THE FIRST YEAR WE STEMMED $3.5 MILLION FOR A
04:56:08PM FEW ADDITIONAL POSITIONS AND MORE EQUIPMENT TO PUT TOGETHER
04:56:12PM A SIDEWALK TEAM.
04:56:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SINCE TALKING OF THIS BUDGET, ONE THING WE
04:56:21PM HAVE NOTICED NO LINE ITEM FOR -- FOR PAVING AND REPAVING IN
04:56:25PM THE BUDGET.
04:56:25PM IS THAT --
04:56:32PM >>VIK BHIDE: YOU WON'T SEE A LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET.
04:56:35PM CIP BUDGET AN THAT HAS VARIOUS BUCKETS.
04:56:39PM SOME OF THE BUCKETS READ THINGS LIKE VISION ZERO
04:56:42PM IMPROVEMENTS.
04:56:42PM QUICK BUILD IMPROVEMENTS.
04:56:43PM THOSE ALL PAVING PROJECTS.
04:56:45PM BUT THEY ARE ALSO --
04:56:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT I AM GOING TO EXPECT BEFORE WE PASS
04:56:51PM THE BUDGET, I NEED THINGS BROKEN OUT IN SPECIFIC.
04:56:54PM OKAY, HOW MUCH ARE WEED A VOTE SKATING TOWARD PAVING,
04:56:59PM REPAVING, SIDEWALKS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS RELATED
04:57:03PM TO MOBILITY AND IF I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A DETAILED LIST TO
04:57:06PM FIND OUT TO WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR AND WHETHER TO STEAL
04:57:08PM MONEY FROM OTHER PLACES TO PAY FOR MORE.
04:57:10PM THAT -- THAT IS -- I WANTED TO MAKE SURE AS CROSSCHECK, THAT
04:57:14PM WE ARE GETTING, I THINK, WHAT THE PEOPLE OF TAMPA EXPECT
04:57:18PM NOW.
04:57:18PM AND DEFINITELY EXCEEDED EXPECTATION IN 204 VIK, I APPRECIATE
04:57:34PM YOU COMING TODAY.
04:57:35PM AND PUT THAT FLAG UP THE POLE TO ADVERTISE YOUR SUCCESS.
04:57:38PM SO IT IS A GREAT WAY TO TELL PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE MOVING IN
04:57:42PM THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
04:57:43PM SO THANK YOU.
04:57:44PM >>VIK BHIDE: WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE A GREAT TEAM.
04:57:47PM AND THAT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS ITEM.
04:57:49PM BUT THE WEST RIVER WALK PROJECT IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
04:57:53PM PARKS AND MOBILITY.
04:57:54PM AND I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT TWO EMPLOYEES TONY MUNN FROM
04:58:00PM PARK AND TINA MAVOL FIREWORKS MOBILITY THAT WORKED HARD.
04:58:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SINCE YOU ARE TALKING ON THAT AN DON'T
04:58:08PM BRING IT UP ON, WE WILL BE PLANT A LOT OF TREES.
04:58:15PM LOOKING FOR PLACES TO PLANT TREES AND A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO
04:58:18PM GET TREES IN THE GROUND.
04:58:19PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
04:58:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
04:58:21PM FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS BECAUSE BEING
04:58:24PM ALMOST SIX MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE FOR LOOKING ALL THE
04:58:29PM SIDEWALKS IN THE CITY IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
04:58:31PM AND VERY EXCITED TO FINISH THAT ON TARGET AND FINISH
04:58:42PM SIDEWALKS AND THAT IS WONDERFUL.
04:58:43PM I WOULD BE REMISS IF YOU DIDN'T ASK WHAT ADDED PARKING AND A
04:58:47PM BIKE LANE ON HOWARD.
04:58:49PM HOPING THAT IS PROTECTED BIKE LANE BY THE PARKING.
04:58:55PM >>VIK BHIDE: EVENTUALLY IT WILL BE, WHAT TIM SHARED IS A
04:59:01PM CERTAIN MATERIAL THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR THAT SEPARATES THE
04:59:03PM BIKE LANE AND MAY BE ON BACK ORDER MIGHT TAKE A WHILE.
04:59:08PM A BUFFER WITHOUT PROTECTION BUT EVENTUALLY --
04:59:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM TALKING OF USING PARKING --
04:59:15PM >>VIK BHIDE: PARK PROGRAM TICKETED?
04:59:17PM I DON'T KNOW THAT.
04:59:17PM BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE THE PARKING IS CONTIGUOUS THROUGHOUT
04:59:21PM SO THAT MIGHT --
04:59:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
04:59:24PM IN THE AREAS IT IS, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THAT IS THE
04:59:27PM PROTECTED.
04:59:28PM ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THIS IS THERE
04:59:31PM HAVE BEEN A -- I HAVE BEEN GETTING A BUNCH OF E-MAILS ABOUT
04:59:37PM A ONE PROJECT BRINGING BACK THE IDEA OF SIDEWALKS AND
04:59:45PM IN-LIEU FEES.
04:59:45PM CURRENTLY WE GET $29 A LINEAR FOOT FOR SIDEWALKS.
04:59:49PM IF YOU HAVE SAID THAT IS COST $162 A LINEAR SQUARE FOOT OF
04:59:56PM SIDEWALKS.
04:59:56PM SO I AM JUST LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW AND LETTING THE PUBLIC
05:00:00PM KNOW THAT AT THE END OF THIS, I HAVE ALREADY TALKED TO --
05:00:04PM TOO LEGAL STAFF ABOUT THIS.
05:00:05PM I AM GOING TO HAVE A -- I AM ASKING STAFF TO CREATE A
05:00:08PM RESOLUTION TO INCREASE THAT AMOUNT.
05:00:10PM SO TALKING ABOUT GETTING MONEY FROM NOWHERE, NOT GETTING
05:00:14PM MONEY FROM NOWHERE.
05:00:15PM GETTING MONEY THAT WE ARE OWED.
05:00:16PM SO THAT WILL REALLY BE ABLE TO HELP THE SIDEWALK BUDGET
05:00:21PM INCREASE.
05:00:21PM SO THANK YOU.
05:00:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SURE.
05:00:25PM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
05:00:26PM >>BILL CARLSON: I REMEMBER WE TRIED TO DO THAT A FEW YEARS
05:00:29PM AGO AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED.
05:00:31PM I KNOW THAT DEVELOPERS PUSHED WARNING HARD AND HOPEFULLY CAN
05:00:34PM GET THIS PASSED.
05:00:35PM AND SHOULDN'T BE SUBSIDIZING IT.
05:00:38PM I WANT TO ECHO CONGRATS TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR BRINGING
05:00:43PM THE PAVING IN HOUSE AND MOVING A LOT FASTER.
05:00:46PM IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT SOLUTION I HOPE WE CAN DO MORE WITH
05:00:56PM THE SIDEWALKS.
05:00:56PM WHAT IS THE STATUS OF NEW SUBURBAN BEAUTIFUL?
05:00:56PM >>VIK BHIDE: VIK BHIDE.
05:01:00PM THAT IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION.
05:01:01PM AND THAT IS -- SO -- SO WE ARE WORKING ON IT.
05:01:04PM WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT ON IT.
05:01:12PM WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND ASKED FOR A MEETING
05:01:17PM TO DISCUSS AND OTHER OPTIONS AS WELL.
05:01:22PM BOILS DOWN WITH THAT COMMUNITY SIT DOWN WITH THEM AND
05:01:26PM UNDERSTAND THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE EXISTING TREES.
05:01:37PM THERE ARE NOT EASY ANSWERS.
05:01:39PM THE TWO DON'T EXIST EASILY AND THE TREE ALWAYS WINS.
05:01:43PM >>BILL CARLSON: MY PREFERENCE IS GO BACK TO BREAKING IN.
05:01:46PM I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN THREE WEEKS BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN
05:01:48PM GONE, BUT STILL FROM ALL THE REPAIR WORK AND THINGS, THERE
05:01:52PM WERE STILL A LOT OF POTHOLES AND MUD AND STUFF ALL AROUND
05:01:55PM THAT AREA THOSE STREETS THE WORST I HAVE SEEN IN THE CITY
05:02:01PM ANYWHERE AND I HOPE WE CAN GET THEM FIXED.
05:02:04PM THE LAST THING TALK OF THE $3.5 MILLION FOR TAKING THE
05:02:07PM SIDEWALKS IN HOUSE AND WE HAVE ALL OPINION PUSHING FOR
05:02:11PM SIDEWALKS FOR YEARS.
05:02:12PM I -- PLEASE KEEP US POSTED ABOUT WHAT WE CAN TO DO SUPPORT
05:02:16PM YOU.
05:02:16PM AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO THERE.
05:02:18PM AND I JUST WANT TO SAY FOR THE RECORD THAT PUTTING SIDEWALKS
05:02:22PM IN FRONT OF HOUSES.
05:02:23PM IT CREATES A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
05:02:26PM TAMPA PROMOTES MENTAL HEALTH.
05:02:29PM FREE FOR PEOPLE TO WALK AROUND.
05:02:30PM IF YOU PUT A SIDEWALK.
05:02:32PM A NICER SIDEWALK OR A SIDEWALK, AND IT ENCOURAGES DEVELOPERS
05:02:35PM TO BUILD NICER HOUSES AND PEOPLE TO ADD ON TO THEIR HOUSES
05:02:39PM AND POTENTIALLY A MULTIBILLION DOLLAR ECONOMIC IMPACT TO
05:02:42PM CREATING SIDEWALKS.
05:02:43PM AND MY POINT BEING SOMEWHAT FACETIOUS.
05:02:47PM IF WE COLD SIDEWALKS THE WAY WHICH COLD THE RIVER WALK RIGHT
05:02:51PM NOW AND WE DID THE POLITICAL PUSH TO GET VOTES THE WAY WE
05:02:54PM DID THE RIVER WALK JUST NOW, WE COULD HAVE A TRANSFORMATIVE
05:02:57PM THING.
05:02:58PM FIVE YEARS AGO, SIX YEARS AGO RIGHT AFTER -- I GOT ON
05:03:02PM COUNCIL.
05:03:02PM I ASKED FOR A CITYWIDE SIDEWALK PLAN AND STILL WE HAVE HUGE
05:03:06PM GAPS FOR SIDEWALKS ALL OVER THE CITY.
05:03:08PM IT HAS GOT TO BE A MAJOR PRIORITY, SIDEWALKS AND CROSSWALKS.
05:03:12PM AND A LOT OF MARKETING RHETORIC.
05:03:20PM NOT MUCH HAS BEEN DONE.
05:03:22PM FINALLY MAKING PROGRESS ON THE POTHOLES AND PLEASE LET US
05:03:27PM KNOW HOW TO SUPPORT YOU ON SIDEWALKS.
05:03:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
05:03:31PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
05:03:33PM I AM GLAD THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON BROUGHT UP SIDEWALKS.
05:03:36PM DURING MY CAMPAIGN, THE FIRST THING I TALKED WITH WAS
05:03:39PM SIDEWALKS IN BLACK COMMUNITIES.
05:03:40PM WE HAD TO BEG FOR SIDEWALKS.
05:03:42PM WHEN MY SISTER AND FRIENDS WORKED FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA,
05:03:45PM THEY WERE COUNTING THE CRACKS ON THE SIDEWALKS IN BOULEVARD
05:03:50PM AND OUR COMMUNITIES DIDN'T HAVE SIDEWALKS UNTIL I CAME HOME
05:03:53PM FROM COLLEGE.
05:03:53PM WHEN WE TALK OF SIDEWALKS, YOU ARE RIGHT, WE SHOULD TALK
05:03:56PM ABOUT THEM JUST LIKE THE RIVERWALK PROJECT.
05:03:58PM AND THE FIRST PLACE WE NEED TO START IS IN DISENFRANCHISED
05:04:03PM COMMUNITIES.
05:04:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AMEN.
05:04:04PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: LET'S START THERE FIRST.
05:04:09PM NOT BOULEVARD.
05:04:11PM >>VIK BHIDE: THE SIDEWALK NEED IS OVER A BILLION DOLLARS.
05:04:13PM HALF BECAUSE OF THE 13 MILES IN GAPS.
05:04:16PM EARLIER TODAY AND IN TODAY'S BUDGET PRESENTATION.
05:04:22PM HANNA MOBILITY $1.8 MILLION THAT INCLUDES SIDEWALKS ON A
05:04:27PM 24th STREET THAT WERE REQUESTED BY THE COMMUNITY,
05:04:30PM SPECIFICALLY IN THE AREA BECAUSE OF ACCESS NEEDS.
05:04:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. BHIDE.
05:04:37PM YES, SIR?
05:04:38PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
05:04:39PM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE READY FOR ANY MORE --
05:04:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT, NEW BUSINESS?
05:04:44PM NOT YET.
05:04:45PM 120 WE TOOK CARE OF.
05:04:48PM 121.
05:04:49PM YES, MA'AM, YOU ARE HERE.
05:04:50PM >>DANA CROSBY COLLIER: GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR, MEMBERS OF
05:04:56PM CITY COUNCIL.
05:04:56PM I AM DANA CROSBY COLLIER, AN ASSIST AT ANY TIME CITY
05:04:59PM ATTORNEY.
05:04:59PM I'M HERE BEHALF, YOU CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY AND CITY
05:05:03PM ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ON A 121 RELATING TO THE MOTION REGARDING
05:05:06PM THE POSSIBILITY OF PROHIBITING NEW FORMULA BUSINESSES AND
05:05:10PM RESTAURANTS ON 7th AND 8th AVENUE FROM TO 22nd AVENUE IN
05:05:16PM YBOR CITY.
05:05:16PM OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS IN RESPONSE TO THE MOTION WE LOOKED
05:05:20PM AT PROHIBITION OF FORM RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES IN THE
05:05:25PM DISTRICT.
05:05:25PM EXHAUSTIVE INITIATIVE OF LEGAL CHALLENGE OF THIS NATURE IN
05:05:31PM THE STATE AND SUBSEQUENT ORDINANCE DEVELOPED IN OTHER CITIES
05:05:35PM SINCE THE EARLY CHALLENGE TO THE ORDINANCE DOWN IN THE KEYS
05:05:43PM IN SUMMARY WE BELIEVE IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO DRAFT AN
05:05:47PM ORDINANCE FOR YBOR, AND BECAUSE OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE IN THE
05:05:53PM CITY.
05:05:53PM IT WILL BE A FINE NEEDLE TO THREAD.
05:05:55PM WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ADDITION SAL FINDINGS OF FACT AND GOOD
05:06:03PM BASIS FOR ORDINANCE IN THE FINDINGS OF FACT.
05:06:05PM OUR DOWNTOWN ATTORNEY IDENTIFIED LEGAL ISSUE BUSINESS
05:06:09PM LOOKING AT THE CASE LAW AND OTHER ORDINANCES AND AT THIS
05:06:13PM POINT FEEL IT IS MORE OF AN EXERCISE FOR YOUR PLANNING
05:06:15PM DEPARTMENT TO LOOK AT POE TENSION IN BUILDING A CASE FOR
05:06:18PM SUCH AN ORDINANCE BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THIS PARTICULAR
05:06:20PM COMMUNITY.
05:06:21PM SO I WILL STOP THERE FOR NOW.
05:06:22PM AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MEMBER CARLSON.
05:06:26PM >>BILL CARLSON: THIS WAS AN ITEM I PROPOSED AND YOU ALL
05:06:29PM SUPPORTED, THANK YOU.
05:06:30PM THE IDEA IS THAT THERE WERE FOLKS IN YBOR WHO WERE UPSET
05:06:34PM THAT SO MANY SMALL BUSINESSES ARE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS IN
05:06:37PM YBOR.
05:06:37PM AND THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAVE THEM AND
05:06:40PM PROTECT THEM.
05:06:41PM SO IN RESEARCH WHAT COULD BE DONE, ONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES
05:06:44PM IS SOME HISTORIC DISTRICT IN THE STATE AND OTHER PLACES HAVE
05:06:48PM PROTECTED SMALL BUSINESSES FROM CHAINS THAT ARE COMING ANY
05:06:56PM WANT TO THANK THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND MR. SHELBY FOR
05:06:59PM EXTENSIVE RESEARCH.
05:07:00PM I HAD MY OWN RESEARCH AND WE WENT BACK AND FORTH AND AN
05:07:05PM EXHAUSTIVE AND EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH PROCESS.
05:07:08PM AS SHE SAID, WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW IS TAKE IT FOR THE
05:07:12PM PLANNER.
05:07:13PM THERE IS NO PLANNER BECAUSE STEPHEN BENSON IS GONE.
05:07:16PM MAKE A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE WITH THANKS FOR THEM TO DO
05:07:19PM A WORK.
05:07:19PM AND WHEN WE GET A PLANNER, I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO THAT
05:07:22PM PERSON AND COME BACK WITH ANOTHER MOTION.
05:07:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE A SECOND MICHELINI MIRANDA
05:07:26PM SECOND.
05:07:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
05:07:30PM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
05:07:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN'T BE ROCKET SCIENCE, ANNA MARIA
05:07:37PM ISLAND.
05:07:38PM >>DANA CROSBY COLLIER: I SPOKE WITH THE ATTORNEY FOR MAN IN
05:07:43PM MARIA ISLAND.
05:07:44PM I KNEW HER.
05:07:45PM WE TALKED OF THEIR ORDINANCE AND HOW THEY DEVELOPED IT.
05:07:48PM MAN IN MARIA ISLAND -- AND WE DISCUSSED THIS -- IS QUITE
05:07:53PM DIFFERENT THAN YBOR CITY.
05:07:55PM ANNA MARIA ISLAND IS AT THE END OF A ROAD.
05:07:59PM YOU GO TO ANNA MARIA ISLAND, YOU ARE MOVING INTO AREA OF THE
05:08:05PM STATE THAT IS NOT LIKE YBOR CITY WHICH IS IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
05:08:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PEOPLE IN YBOR WILL ARGUE IT BEING IN
05:08:13PM DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
05:08:15PM >>DANA CROSBY COLLIER: WELL, RIGHT BY TWO MAJOR INTERSTATES
05:08:17PM IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND HEAVILY TRAVERSED THROUGHOUT
05:08:19PM THAT AREA WHEREAS ANNA MARIA ISLAND IS A LOT MORE ISOLATED.
05:08:24PM ANOTHER THING THEY DID IN ANNA MARIA ISLAND, THEY ADDED THIS
05:08:29PM TO THE REGULATORY SECTION OF THE CODE AND NOT THE LAND
05:08:34PM DEVELOPMENT CODE AND A PROHIBITION IN THE CITY OF THE
05:08:36PM REGULAR PORTION OF THE CODE.
05:08:37PM THEY ALSO DID DEVELOP THEIR OWN FINDINGS OF FACT BASED ON
05:08:40PM THEIR GEOGRAPHY AND THEIR POSITIONS IN THE COMMUNITY ART
05:08:46PM DECO DISTRICT IN MIAMI SIMILARLY DESIGNATED HISTORIC
05:08:51PM DISTRICT.
05:08:51PM A LOT OF TRAFFIC IN THERE.
05:08:52PM THEY CREATED AN OVERLAY IN ORDER TO DO THIS SAND I TALKED TO
05:08:55PM THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY WHO WORKED TO THAN PARTICULAR
05:08:58PM ORDINANCE AS WELL, AND HE SAID THEY HAVE THEIR -- HE SAYS
05:09:01PM THIS IS A HEAVY PLANNING PROCESS.
05:09:02PM YOU WANT TO GO TO YOUR PLANNERS AND HAVE THEM DEVELOP THE
05:09:06PM REASON WHY YOU NEED THESE ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS IN THAT
05:09:08PM AREA.
05:09:09PM >> SO -- WHY WOULDN'T WE JUST GO THE REGULATORY PROCESS?
05:09:14PM >> YOU WILL STILL NEED TO MAKE A FINDING OF THE NEED.
05:09:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FINDING OF FACT.
05:09:20PM >>DANA CROSBY COLLIER: WE ALREADY HAVE A HISTORIC DISTRICT
05:09:23PM AND PROTECTED.
05:09:23PM DESIGN GUIDELINES AND FURTHER PROTECTED.
05:09:26PM I DID SPEAK WITH STEPHEN BEFORE HE LEFT AND WE TALKED OF
05:09:31PM DIFFERENT THINGS HE WOULD LOOK AT AS A PLANNER IF HE WERE TO
05:09:34PM LOOK AT SUCH AN ORDINANCE.
05:09:36PM HE SAID IT WOULD BE A VISION FOR THAT COMMUNITY AND VISION
05:09:39PM FOR THAT STRIP THAT MAKES IT NECESSARY TO REGULATE WHAT TYPE
05:09:43PM OF BUSINESSES CAN ACTUALLY COME IN.
05:09:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WITH GROWTH COMING DOWN.
05:09:48PM IF WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT IT, THE SELMON CONNECTOR AND PART
05:09:53PM OF THAT.
05:09:59PM >>BILL CARLSON: YOU SHOULD AN OFF-LINE DISCUSSION.
05:10:01PM >>DANA CROSBY COLLIER: TALKED OF ANNA MARIA AND MIAMI BEACH.
05:10:07PM >>BILL CARLSON: NEIGHBORS SMALLER MAKES IT MORE DEFENSIBLE.
05:10:10PM A LOT OF CASE LAW FROM LAWSUITS FILED.
05:10:13PM THAT IS WHOLE ANOTHER LONG CONVERSATION.
05:10:16PM WE NEED TO GO TO PLANNING, BUT WHOEVER BECOMES THE NEW
05:10:19PM PLANNER, I WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM FIRST.
05:10:22PM YOU ALL HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND IF YOU CAN COME UP WITH A
05:10:24PM BETTER IDEA --
05:10:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NO, I DON'T.
05:10:27PM BUT I WANT TO FIGHT FOR IT BECAUSE I FULLY SUPPORT IT.
05:10:29PM I THINK THIS IS PART OF THIS AND WILL REMAIN THE HISTORIC
05:10:32PM NATURE OF -- OF YBOR CITY.
05:10:36PM AND IF WE DON'T PROTECT IT, IT WILL TURN INTO INTERNATIONAL
05:10:39PM DRIVE IN ORLANDO.
05:10:40PM LAST THING WE WANT.
05:10:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WITH SIZZLER, PONDEROSA STEAKHOUSE.
05:10:50PM ALL THE BUSINESSES --
05:10:52PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: ALTHOUGH MY NAME IS ON THE MOTION, BUT I
05:10:54PM WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO MISS DANA CROSBY COLLIER FOR HER
05:10:57PM HARD WORK, DILIGENCE AND LEGAL EXPERTISE.
05:11:01PM >>DANA CROSBY COLLIER: THANK YOU FOR THAT, MARTY.
05:11:03PM MY PLEASURE.
05:11:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
05:11:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
05:11:09PM I THINK THOUGH IN A WAY, I DON'T THINK IT WILL BECOME
05:11:11PM INTERNATIONAL DRIVE, BECAUSE I BELIEVE ALL OF THOSE
05:11:14PM PROPERTIES OWNED BY LOCATION.
05:11:15PM AND I THINK THEY GET TO DECIDE WHO GOES IN THERE SO I THINK
05:11:21PM WE TALKED TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS BEFORE WE DO THIS.
05:11:24PM AND SEE WHAT THEIR VISION IS, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE
05:11:29PM MORE INTERESTED IN KEEPING A SMALL NATURE.
05:11:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SOME OF THE PROPERTY OWNER, LOOK WHO THEY
05:11:36PM RENTED TO.
05:11:37PM WE ARE DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES.
05:11:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WE ARE LOOKING TO CHANGE SOME OF THAT.
05:11:43PM THEY ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE IT NOR FAMILY FRIENDLY.
05:11:46PM SO I THINK BY DOING BOTH, WE WILL -- WE WILL HELP FOR SURE,
05:11:50PM BUT I DON'T EVER SEE IT BECOMING --
05:11:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE
05:11:55PM FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON WITH A SECOND.
05:11:57PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
05:11:58PM ALL RIGHT.
05:11:59PM NEXT IS ITEM NUMBER 122.
05:12:02PM NO STAFF NEEDED BUT COUNCILMAN VIERA.
05:12:05PM THIS WAS YOUR MOTION FOR THE $50,000.
05:12:07PM >>LUIS VIERA: YEAH.
05:12:08PM I WILL BE MAKING A MOTION AT THE END OF BUSINESS.
05:12:11PM SO IT APPEARS -- AND MR. SHELBY, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG,
05:12:14PM THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE FUND EXISTING FOR THAT, CORRECT?
05:12:18PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: HER NOW FOR CERTAIN.
05:12:20PM AND YOU RECEIVED A MEMO FROM MIKE PERRY, THE BUDGET OFFICER,
05:12:24PM WHO SAID YOU ARE NOT ONLY COVERED FOR FY '24.
05:12:27PM ASSUMING YOU APPROVE THE BUDGET, CONTAINED IN 'FY '25 AS
05:12:33PM WELL.
05:12:33PM >>LUIS VIERA: WONDERFUL.
05:12:38PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU FOR HIM BEING ABLE TO DO THAT IN
05:12:40PM MANNER.
05:12:41PM >>LUIS VIERA: SPEAK OF THANKS.
05:12:43PM THANK YOU, MR. SHELBY.
05:12:46PM AND TAKEN UP A LOT TIME.
05:12:48PM AND MY WONDERFUL LEGISLATIVE AID THAT HAS TAKEN UP A LOT OF
05:12:53PM TIME ON THIS AS WELL.
05:12:53PM MR. CHAIR, MAY I MAKE MOTION SINCE IT IS CONNECTED TO THIS
05:12:58PM ISSUE.
05:12:58PM I MOTION TO HAVE THE RACIAL RECONCILIATION CONTRACT TO COME
05:13:05PM BEFORE CITY COUNCIL ON AUGUST 31 AGENDA.
05:13:09PM AND THE DELAY FOR THE FACILITATORS AND I DON'T PUT THAT AS A
05:13:13PM BAD THING.
05:13:14PM A GOOD THING FOR AT THAT PAID FACILITATORS AND SOMETHING
05:13:19PM COUNCIL SUGGESTED.
05:13:20PM WITH THIS, WE SHOULD GET THE BALL ROLLING ON SEPTEMBER, I
05:13:23PM THINK.
05:13:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
05:13:25PM DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
05:13:27PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND.
05:13:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
05:13:30PM OPPOSED?
05:13:32PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:13:33PM ITEM NUMBER 123 WAS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE IT WAS A
05:13:38PM CONTINUANCE.
05:13:38PM EVERYTHING ELSE?
05:13:40PM IT IS TIME TO GO NO NEW BUSINESS.
05:13:42PM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
05:13:46PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE BUDGET MEETING TO
05:13:47PM ARE SEPTEMBER 3, 2024.
05:13:51PM WAS THAT A DAY MEETING THE FIRST ONE.
05:13:52PM THE SECOND ONE NIGHT MEETING.
05:13:54PM OKAY, FOR THE -- THEY TOLD ME AT -- AT THE THIRD OF
05:14:00PM SEPTEMBER IS A TUESDAY, I BELIEVE.
05:14:01PM OKAY.
05:14:02PM AND THIS IS NUMBER ONE.
05:14:04PM DO WE GOT TO VOTE ON THAT ONE FIRST.
05:14:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA TO SET
05:14:09PM THAT PUBLIC HEARING.
05:14:09PM SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
05:14:11PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
05:14:12PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WHAT HOUR, 5:01?
05:14:18PM OKAY, 5:01.

05:14:30PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
05:14:31PM OPPOSE?
05:14:31PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S IT, MR. CHAIRMAN.
05:14:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA.
05:14:36PM >>LUIS VIERA: I HAVE A FEW -- I KNOW, RIGHT --
05:14:38PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YOU HAVE BEEN SAVING THEM UP.
05:14:40PM >>LUIS VIERA: GOING EASY ON FOLKS.
05:14:42PM THE FIRST ONE IS, Y'ALL SAW MY COMMENTS ON THE CITIZENS
05:14:47PM BUDGET ADVISORY BOARD.
05:14:48PM IT APPEARS THAT PRESENTLY TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS BOARD, YOU
05:14:51PM MUST BE A CITY RESIDENT.
05:14:52PM AND I THINK THAT IS FAR TOO RESTRICTIVE.
05:14:55PM SO, THEREFORE, I MOTION TO MODIFY THE RESOLUTION REGARDING
05:14:58PM THE BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE NO INCLUDE THE COMMUNITY
05:15:02PM RESIDENCE -- STRIKE THAT, COMMUNITY MEMBERS BE RESIDENTS OF
05:15:05PM THE CITY, BUSINESS OR PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE CITY, FORMER
05:15:08PM CITY EMPLOYEES OR NAMED JOE GRECO -- I AM JOKING --
05:15:13PM JUST A LITTLE SCHUMER THERE.
05:15:15PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YOU ARE JOKING.
05:15:18PM >>LUIS VIERA: I KNOW, RIGHT.
05:15:19PM THAT IS MY MOTION.
05:15:20PM AND, AGAIN, I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE.
05:15:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION.
05:15:24PM DO WE HAVE A SECOND FOR DISCUSSION.
05:15:26PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I WILL SECOND IT FOR DISCUSSION.
05:15:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON AND HURTAK.
05:15:30PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
05:15:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I CAN'T SUPPORT THAT.
05:15:33PM YOU CAN OWN A BUSINESS, BUT YOU STILL REALLY OUGHT TO LIVE
05:15:36PM HERE.
05:15:36PM EVERY SINGLE CITY BOARD REQUIRES YOU TO LIVE HERE.
05:15:40PM I CAN'T -- I AM SURE -- I KNOW HE IS A GREAT GUY, BUT WE
05:15:44PM CAN'T START DOWN TO THAT ROAD.
05:15:45PM ONCE WE START DOWN THAT ROAD, EVERY OTHER COMMITTEE IS GOING
05:15:48PM TO BE THE SAME WAY.
05:15:49PM AND WE CAN'T HAVE --
05:15:51PM >>LUIS VIERA: I APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTS.
05:15:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WE CAN'T HAVE JUST BUSINESSES AND PEOPLE LIVE
05:15:57PM IN HICK.
05:15:57PM I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
05:15:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
05:16:00PM >>BILL CARLSON: I AGREE.
05:16:01PM IF THERE IS A WAY BECAUSE OF HIS LONG HISTORY WITH THE CITY,
05:16:05PM IF THERE WAS A WAY TO MAKE A ONE-PERSON EXCEPTION, I COULD
05:16:09PM VOTE FOR THAT.
05:16:09PM BUT I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THE RULES.
05:16:11PM BUT I THINK THEY NEED TO BE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY.
05:16:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO AMENDING IT TO
05:16:18PM ALLOW JOE GRECO TO BE ON THERE.
05:16:23PM >>LUIS VIERA: NO, THAT IS ALL I WANTED.
05:16:25PM MR. SHELBY, CAN WE DO THAT?
05:16:27PM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN HE JUST BRING HIS BOAT INTO THE BAY?
05:16:30PM >>LUIS VIERA: I KNOW, RIGHT.
05:16:32PM YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY DOES WANT JOE GRECO ON
05:16:36PM THERE BECAUSE --
05:16:39PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: BEST FIRE FIGHTER OF A LONG TIME.
05:16:42PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS.
05:16:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WAIT UNTIL YOU MEET HIM.
05:16:47PM MR. SHELBY.
05:16:49PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF CITY COUNCIL WANTS TO WAIVE THE
05:16:51PM RESOLUTION.
05:16:52PM COUNCIL'S COMMITTEE.
05:16:53PM COUNCIL'S RESOLUTION.
05:16:54PM RATHER THAN EXPAND IT, RATHER THERE IS A CONCERN OF IT.
05:16:58PM IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A SPECIFIC EXEMPTION, WE CAN CRAFT THE
05:17:01PM RESOLUTION TO REFLECT THAT IF THAT IS COUNCIL'S PLEASURE.
05:17:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
05:17:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THAT.
05:17:15PM CITIZEN ADVISORY BOARD.
05:17:16PM IT IS ABOUT BEING A CITIZEN OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
05:17:18PM UP UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IF HE MOVED TO NEW YORK ALREADY
05:17:21PM WOULD HE STILL BE ELIGIBLE?
05:17:23PM I MEAN, IT IS A CITIZEN ADVISORY BOARD.
05:17:25PM A BUDGET COMMITTEE.
05:17:26PM ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOARDS THAT WE HAVE.
05:17:28PM HE IS A GREAT GUY.
05:17:29PM EVERYBODY LOVES HIM, BUT, YOU KNOW, EVEN WAIVING THAT RULE
05:17:34PM SEEMS A LITTLE HIGH SCHOOLISH TO ME.
05:17:36PM WE HAVE A RULE.
05:17:37PM IT IS A RULE IS A RULE IS A RULE.
05:17:40PM JUST BECAUSE YOU LIKE SOMEBODY, HE IS PART OF THE COOL KID
05:17:43PM CLUB DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN HE GETS MY VOTE.
05:17:46PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MAY I MAKE -- MAY I MAKE A DISCLOSURE FOR
05:17:51PM THE BENEFIT OF CITY COUNCIL, THAT THROUGH THIS PROCESS, IT
05:17:54PM HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT PERHAPS IN THE PAST THERE
05:17:58PM WASN'T REALLY A BACKGROUND CHECK TO ENSURE THAT ALL MEMBERS
05:18:02PM ARE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY.
05:18:03PM THAT PROHIBITION COULD ACTUALLY AFFECT PERHAPS -- AND I HAVE
05:18:08PM NOT PERSONALLY VERIFIED IT, OTHER SITTING MEMBERS OF THAT
05:18:11PM COMMITTEE WHO MAY NOT IN FACT BE CITY RESIDENTS BECAUSE THEY
05:18:14PM WERE NOT AWARE OF THAT PROVISION WITHIN THE -- WITHIN THE --
05:18:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE PROBABLY NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.
05:18:20PM WE PROBABLY -- WE PROBABLY NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.
05:18:22PM AGAIN, I JUST -- I HATE -- I HATE MAKING A RULE BECAUSE
05:18:26PM SOMEBODY IS WELL LIKED.
05:18:28PM AND IT -- OKAY, I AM DONE.
05:18:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA.
05:18:37PM >>LUIS VIERA: NOT BECAUSE JOE GRECO IS WELL-LIKED -- WE NEED
05:18:42PM SOMEBODY LIKE GEE GRECO, THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF TAMPA FIRE
05:18:46PM FIGHTERS.
05:18:46PM JOE GRECO BLEEDS RED AND BLUE NOR POLICE AND FOR FIRE.
05:18:51PM AND IT, AGAIN, I WILL MAKE A MOTION FOR THAT.
05:18:53PM IF IT IS REJECTED, THEN I WILL GO AND GET SOMEBODY ELSE,
05:18:56PM RIGHT.
05:18:56PM AND THAT IS FINE.
05:18:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT IS YOUR MOTION JUST FOR CLARITY.
05:19:01PM >>LUIS VIERA: LET'S START IF I MAY, THE FIRST MOTION, MOTION
05:19:05PM TO AMEND THE CITIZENS ADVISORY BOARD QUALIFICATIONS TO
05:19:08PM INCLUDE SOMEONE WHO, NUMBER ONE, IS A CITY RESIDENT.
05:19:13PM NUMBER TWO, SOMEBODY THAT OWNS PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF
05:19:16PM TAMPA.
05:19:16PM AND NUMBER THREE, SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN A CITY OF TAMPA
05:19:19PM EMPLOYEE DURING THE LAST TEN YEARS.
05:19:25PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: EITHER-OR.
05:19:32PM >>LUIS VIERA: ONE OF THOSE THREE.
05:19:34PM TO ADDRESS FOLKS' CONCERNS.
05:19:36PM EACH ONE OF THESE PLAY AN UNIQUE ROLE IN THE BUDGET ADVISORY
05:19:40PM COMMITTEE.
05:19:40PM YOU CAN HAVE, NUMBER ONE, SOMEBODY WHO IS A SPECIFICS
05:19:43PM RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
05:19:45PM WE ALL AGREE TO THAT.
05:19:46PM NUMBER TWO, SOMEBODY THAT OWNS PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF TAMPA
05:19:49PM AND PAYS TAXES.
05:19:51PM THEY LIVE IN BRANDON WHEREVER IT NAY BE, THEY PAY TAXES.
05:19:54PM NUMBER THREE, SOMEONE THAT IS A FORMER EMPLOYEE OVER THE
05:19:57PM LAST TEN YEARS, SO, THEREFORE, THEY HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE
05:20:01PM CITY OF TAMPA AS AN EMPLOYEE.
05:20:02PM ALL OF THEM HAVE SUFFICIENT CONNECTIONS WITH THE CITY OF
05:20:05PM TAMPA SO AS TO JUSTIFY INVOLVEMENT IN THE CITIZENS BUDGET
05:20:08PM ADVISORY BOARD.
05:20:09PM AND, AGAIN, THAT ALSO GIVES UP THE ISSUE OF HAVING TO LOOK
05:20:13PM BACKWARDS, WHICH WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT PEOPLE ON THE BOARD
05:20:16PM AND ALL DESERVED TO BE THERE BECAUSE THEY ALL WORKED VERY
05:20:20PM HARD.
05:20:20PM THAT IS MY FIRST MOTION.

05:23:00PM SO SHE IS THE FIRE CHIEF.
05:23:01PM I AM NOT.
05:23:02PM I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FIRE, RIGHT.
05:23:03PM COMPARED TO HER OBVIOUSLY.
05:23:05PM AND SO I WAS AGREEABLE TO THAT.
05:23:07PM SO I GOT CHIEF TRIPP TO AGREE THAT WHEN SHE IS TO REPORT ON

05:30:38PM 30 DAYS FROM NOW TO DO SO, AND WE NEED A MAJORITY APPROVAL.
05:30:42PM I WOULD LOVE TO GET THE AUDIT OF THE SIDEWALK FUNDS AND THE
05:30:46PM TREE FUNDS IN THE CITY.
05:30:47PM THOSE ARE THINGS WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT.
05:30:52PM AS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MONEY TOWARD TREES AND
05:30:55PM SIDEWALKS.
05:30:55PM I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET AN AUDIT THIS YEAR TO
05:30:58PM LOOK AT THAT.
05:30:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GOOD IDEA.
05:30:59PM MOTION AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
05:31:03PM DISCUSSION.
05:31:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PAUSE I KNOW EVERYBODY WILL BE BUSY WITH
05:31:05PM THE BUDGET STUFF.
05:31:06PM SOMETHING WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE BUDGET.
05:31:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK: NO, BECAUSE WE HAVE 30 DAYS FLORIDA TODAY.
05:31:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK IT IS WELL TAKEN.
05:31:15PM I AGREE.
05:31:16PM IT IS SEVERAL YEARS OVERDUE.
05:31:18PM I SUPPORT THE IDEA.
05:31:20PM I DON'T WANT TO OVERBURDEN STAFF.
05:31:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO THE AUDIT IN 30 DAYS
05:31:25PM BUT ADDED TO THE AUDIT PLAN FOR THE YEAR.
05:31:28PM IF ANYBODY HAS ANY OTHER IDEAS FOR AUDITS.
05:31:31PM YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE LIST, ITEM 57.
05:31:34PM INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT WE AUDIT EVERY YEAR.
05:31:37PM THOSE WERE JUST COUPLE OF ONES THAT HAD IN MIND.
05:31:40PM I HAD MORE, BUT I THOUGHT I WILL ONLY DO TWO THIS YEAR.
05:31:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION AND A SECOND.
05:31:46PM ALL IN FAVOR.
05:31:47PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DID YOU HEAR THAT, VIERA.
05:31:50PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: FOR OUR SPORTS PROGRAM IN PARKS AND REC.
05:31:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T THINK SO.
05:31:57PM YOU GOT 30 DAYS.
05:31:58PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I HAVE 30 DAYS.
05:31:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF YOU WANT TO MOTION ON SOMETHING
05:32:02PM SPECIFIC AS LONG AS IT IS WITHIN 30 DAYS.
05:32:05PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THAT IS VERY GOOD.
05:32:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYTHING ELSE, MA'AM?
05:32:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK: NOPE.
05:32:09PM THAT'S IT.
05:32:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
05:32:13PM >>BILL CARLSON: SINCE WE CAN'T TALK OUTSIDE THIS ROOM.
05:32:17PM ON THE SIDEWALK THING.
05:32:18PM TWO THINGS.
05:32:19PM THIS ONE IS, IF I RECALL, WE CAN ONLY CHARGE THE ACTUAL
05:32:22PM COST, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT I SUGGESTED LAST TIME
05:32:28PM INCLUDE THE OVERHEAD COST RELATED TO IT AND I DON'T KNOW IF
05:32:31PM THAT HIGH COST IS BUILT IN OR NOT.
05:32:33PM WE WERE DOG OF TALKING OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 29 AND
05:32:37PM 75.
05:32:37PM AND WE HAVE EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS ON THIS, LIKE THREE
05:32:41PM YEARS AGO.
05:32:41PM SECOND THING I WOULD RECOMMEND IS FINE OUT FROM SOMEBODY
05:32:45PM WHAT HAPPENS, WHY IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH AND MAYBE LOOK AT THE
05:32:48PM VIDEOS BUT I EXPECT THAT THE BUILDS WILL SHOW UP.
05:32:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T DISAGREE 2021 AND '24 ARE DIFFERENT.
05:33:02PM A.
05:33:06PM AND B, DIFFERENT COUNCILS AND NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY.
05:33:09PM >>BILL CARLSON: I WAS IN FAVOR MUCH OF IT LAST TIME.
05:33:13PM OTHER THING IS, YOU ALL -- YOU ALL KNOW I HAVE SAID FROM
05:33:18PM TIME TO TIME, I PULLED PUBLIC RECORDS.
05:33:20PM THE --
05:33:22PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: PAID TO PULL PUBLIC RECORDS.
05:33:26PM >>BILL CARLSON: I BELIEVE DOING IN A VERY TRANSPARENT WAY
05:33:29PM AND I GO INTO QA AND E-MAIL AND PUBLIC RECORD PULLING PUBLIC
05:33:38PM RECORDS.
05:33:38PM I GOT RESULTS OF SOME OF THEM, BUT ONE OF THEM I PULLED IN
05:33:42PM ADVANCE OF THE VOTE FOR SHOT SPOTTER.
05:33:44PM I PULLED CORRESPONDENCE RELATED TO SHOT SPOTTER.
05:33:48PM WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION THEY WROTE BACK AN SAID THEY
05:33:51PM NEEDED $425 TO DO THAT.
05:33:54PM ASK FOR A VOTE OF COUNCIL TO ASK FOR IT.
05:33:57PM OR -- WE HAVE THIS EXPENSE ACCOUNT FOR CITY COUNCIL.
05:34:01PM I WILL MAKE MOTION TO ASK THAT $425 OF MY CITY COUNCIL
05:34:06PM EXPENSE FUND BE APPLIED TO THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST.
05:34:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK US.
05:34:17PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: LET ME -- I RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DON'T DO
05:34:20PM THAT.
05:34:20PM CARLSON CHARLOTTE IS WHAT I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.
05:34:23PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE THING IS, FIRST OF ALL, YOUR BUDGET IS
05:34:26PM LIMITED.
05:34:26PM AND NUMBER TWO IS, YOU ARE THE TAMPA CITY COUNCIL.
05:34:30PM AND IF YOU REQUEST INFORMATION FROM STAFF, I BELIEVE THAT --
05:34:37PM >>BILL CARLSON: I THINK IT IS ABSURD THAT CITY COUNCIL IS
05:34:40PM GETTING CHARGED.
05:34:41PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL COUNCILMEMBER --
05:34:43PM FORGIVE ME FOR INTERRUPTING, YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL
05:34:48PM COUNCILMEMBERS MAKES THAT REQUEST THAT TAKES STAFF TIME AND
05:34:51PM COST STAFF MONEY, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS -- WHAT IS
05:34:54PM THE COST.
05:34:55PM AND IF SEVEN OF YOU DO THAT ON A REGULAR BASIS, THAT ADDS UP
05:35:00PM TO A LOT OF MONEY IF THEY DO IT INDIVIDUALLY.
05:35:02PM IF YOU DO IT AS AN ACTION -- AN OFFICIAL ACTION OF THIS
05:35:06PM BOARD, REQUESTING THE INFORMATION JUST AS YOU REQUESTED THE
05:35:09PM INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY -- IN A PREVIOUS MOTION.
05:35:14PM I BELIEVE IT IS INCUMBENT UPON THEM TO RESPOND OR TELL YOU
05:35:21PM CAN NOT.
05:35:21PM NOT YOU THE COUNCILMEMBERS BUT THAT BOARD AT A PUBLIC MEET
05:35:26PM APPROXIMATELY MY QUESTION OF $400 OF RESOURCES TO INFORM
05:35:31PM THIS CITY COUNCIL.
05:35:31PM IF THE CITY COUNCIL WISHES TO PUT ITS NAME TOO YOUR REQUEST,
05:35:35PM THEN I THINK IT SHOULD BE IN THE FORM OF A MOTION.
05:35:37PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: WHAT ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR SUPPORT
05:35:40PM SPOTLIGHTER?
05:35:41PM BECAUSE I AM THE PERSON THAT MADE THE MOTION.
05:35:44PM WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
05:35:47PM >>BILL CARLSON: ASKED FOR ALL CORRESPONDENCE.
05:35:49PM I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT REQUEST, ALL CORRESPONDENCE
05:35:53PM DURING A 30 OR 60-DAY PERIOD RELATED TO SHOT SPOTTER.
05:35:57PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YEAH, OF COURSE.
05:36:00PM >>BILL CARLSON: A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THAT -- WITH THAT
05:36:04PM THICK.
05:36:05PM AND USUALLY WHEN I MAKE A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST, I SAY
05:36:08PM EXCLUDING CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BREAK
05:36:10PM SUNSHINE.
05:36:11PM IN THIS CASE I DON'T KNOW IF I DID IT OR NOT, BUT WHAT I AM
05:36:15PM LOOKING FOR WHAT THE VENDOR WAS SAYING BACK AND FORTH IN
05:36:19PM ADMINISTRATION.
05:36:20PM IT IS INTERESTING AND I CAN SHOW YOU THE OTHER PUBLIC
05:36:22PM RECORDS REQUEST THAT I HAVE GOTTEN.
05:36:23PM INTERESTING THE STUFF THAT YOU FIND.
05:36:25PM AND AS YOU KNOW, I AM AGAINST THAT PROJECT, BUT I WOULD LIKE
05:36:28PM TO SEE THE INFORMATION.
05:36:29PM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE CORRESPONDENCE WAS.
05:36:32PM I WILL MAKE MOTION TO ASK CITY COUNCIL TO SUPPORT THE
05:36:36PM REQUEST TO JUST GAIN INFORMATION ON -- ON -- ON
05:36:42PM CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING SHOT SPOTTER WITHOUT -- WITHOUT
05:36:46PM CHARGING THE FEE OF $423.
05:36:48PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YOU PAY THE REST OF THE CORRESPONDENCE
05:36:53PM BEFORE.
05:36:53PM I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
05:36:55PM YOU FINE WITH IT?
05:36:57PM I MEAN, I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.
05:36:59PM >>BILL CARLSON: I PAID THE OTHER ONES -- ONE THAT WAS $3,000
05:37:03PM A YEAR OR TWO AGO.
05:37:04PM AND I ASKED FOR CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE USING MY FUND.
05:37:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA.
05:37:10PM >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SO COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
05:37:12PM ANY AND CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THE SHOT
05:37:17PM SPOTTER OVER THE LAST 60 DAYS.
05:37:20PM >>BILL CARLSON: SOME LIMITS.
05:37:21PM I WILL ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT THAT -- IT IS NOT ASKING FOR
05:37:25PM ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE COURSE.
05:37:27PM >> SO DENSE.
05:37:27PM >>LUIS VIERA: THAT IS FINE.
05:37:30PM I AM FINE WITH THAT.
05:37:32PM I VOTED FOR IT AND IF SOMETHING I WANT TO KNOW FOR NEXT
05:37:35PM YEAR, WE WANT TO HAVE TRANSPARENCY AND SUNSHINE IS THE BEST
05:37:39PM DISINFECTANT.
05:37:41PM IF SOMETHING COSTS $400, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE STAFF IS
05:37:45PM GIVEN A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME BECAUSE A RED FLAG AND
05:37:48PM APPARENTLY A LOT OF WORK.
05:37:50PM AND NUMBER TWO, A REQUEST FROM COUNCIL AND IT NOT COME BACK
05:37:54PM TO US, RIGHT, UNLESS YOU FEEL THE NEED TO.
05:37:56PM >>BILL CARLSON: IF YOU ALL -- IF YOU ALL WANT TO SEE THE
05:37:58PM RESULTS OF IT, I CAN GET MARTY TO DISTRIBUTE IT.
05:38:01PM SHELBY FIRST OF ALL, TWO THINGS.
05:38:04PM NUMBER ONE, SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL HAS ALREADY VOTED ON.
05:38:06PM NUMBER TWO, A PUBLIC RECORD AT THIS POINT.
05:38:09PM SO IRRESPECTIVE --
05:38:15PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: LET ME ASK A QUESTION.
05:38:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MENTAL HEALTH.
05:38:18PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
05:38:19PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: SO IF WE HAD -- ARE YOU SAYING THAT THERE
05:38:22PM IS AN OPPORTUNITY IF THERE IS A MOTION TO CONSIDER
05:38:24PM RECONSIDERATION YOU SHARE THIS SO THAT SOMEONE CAN MAKE A
05:38:27PM MOTION TO RECONSIDER IT AGAIN TO GO IN THE OPPOSITE
05:38:31PM DIRECTION?
05:38:32PM >>BILL CARLSON: I THINK IT IS TOO LATE.
05:38:33PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YOU CAN'T DO IT TWICE?
05:38:35PM ALREADY HAVE BEEN RECONSIDERED.
05:38:37PM I AM JUST ASKING A QUESTION.
05:38:39PM THANK YOU.
05:38:39PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: A FAIR QUESTION.
05:38:41PM A GOOD QUESTION.
05:38:42PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: JUST WANTS THE INFORMATION.
05:38:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
05:38:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL CAUTION COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THE COST
05:38:52PM BECAUSE TODAY WITH JUST THE REQUEST WE MADE AND THE TIME
05:38:54PM THAT THEY HAVE SPENT ON JUST THE BUDGET ALONE IS -- I MEAN
05:38:58PM TO QUANTIFY THAT WILL BE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF EVERY TIME
05:39:01PM WE ASK STAFF FOR SOMETHING WE CAN'T THINK OF THE
05:39:06PM QUANTIFICATION PAUSE WE ARE A I DID AND WORKING TOGETHER TO
05:39:09PM GET THINGS DONE.
05:39:10PM I THINK IT IS DIFFERENT IF IT IS JUST A MEMBER OF THE
05:39:14PM PUBLIC, BUT I DON'T SEE THAT COST SHOULD BURDEN TO US,
05:39:18PM BECAUSE OUR BURDEN IS TO THE TAXPAYERS.
05:39:22PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I DON'T LIKE PAYING FOR PARKING AT
05:39:25PM EVENTS, SO I UNDERSTAND.
05:39:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I TALKED TO JOHN BENNETT ABOUT THAT, $35.
05:39:30PM JOHN, IF YOU WERE LISTENING, REMEMBER, THE IOU FOR YOU.
05:39:35PM LEGAL QUESTION, BECAUSE I SUPPORT THE INTENT OF THIS AND I
05:39:39PM HAVE A QUESTION.
05:39:40PM I KNOW BY CHARTER WE CAN HAVE COMMAND PERFORMANCES FROM
05:39:44PM DEPARTMENT HEADS TO APPEAR BEFORE COUNCIL TO TALK TO US.
05:39:46PM WHAT ARE WE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO FOR INFORMATION OF THE CITY
05:39:52PM COUNCIL.
05:39:52PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ASK FOR ANYTHING YOU
05:39:57PM WANT THAT IS RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION OF CITY BUSINESS.
05:40:00PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: ANYTHING.
05:40:03PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOUR CHARTER -- THE ONLY THING THAT YOUR
05:40:06PM CHARTER ACTUALLY REFERENCES IS THE POWER OF INVESTIGATION,
05:40:10PM SECTION 2.14.
05:40:11PM AND YOUR SPECIFIC DIRECTION UNDER THE CHARTER SAYS THIS, IN
05:40:17PM THE EXERCISE OF ITS LEGISLATIVE POWER, THE COUNCIL AND ANY
05:40:21PM SPECIAL COMMITTEE THEREOF THE POWER TO CONDUCT SUCH
05:40:24PM INVESTIGATIONS AND HOLD SUCH HEARINGS AS THE COUNCIL SHALL
05:40:27PM DEEM NECESSARY, EXPEDIENT AND PROPER AND HAVE THE POWER TO
05:40:30PM COMPEL THE ATTENDANCE OF WITNESSES AND THE PRODUCTION OF
05:40:33PM EVIDENCE BY THE ISSUANCE OF ALL FORMS OF SUBPOENA A LEGAL
05:40:37PM QUESTION THEY WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
05:40:40PM AND HAVE THE POWER TO PUNISH FOR CONTEMPT OF A FINE NOT
05:40:43PM EXCEEDING $100 AND EACH -- AND EACH DAY ANY SUCH CONTEMPT BE
05:40:49PM SHALL BE CONTINUED AND DEEMED A SEPARATE OFFENSE.
05:40:52PM NOT GET IN THE LEGALITY OF THAT, BUT I WILL STATE THAT, WHEN
05:40:56PM THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION MET, THIS PROVISION WAS NOT
05:41:00PM DISCUSSED OR TOUCHED.
05:41:01PM SO STILL ON THE BOOKS.
05:41:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: INTERESTING.
05:41:05PM IT SOUNDS BY THAT THAT IT WILL WELL WITHIN BE A COUNCIL
05:41:09PM PERSON'S JOB TO MAKE A MOTION FOR DOWN REQUEST THIS
05:41:14PM INFORMATION AND COMPEL THE ADMINISTRATION TO PROVIDE IT.
05:41:16PM IS THAT --
05:41:20PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES.
05:41:21PM ANY DOCUMENT CREATED IN THE TRANSACTION OF CITY BUSINESS IS
05:41:26PM MADE FOR THE PURPOSE OF EITHER FORMALIZING, COMMUNICATING OR
05:41:32PM -- WHAT IS THE THIRD ONE.
05:41:33PM MEMORIALIZING KNOWLEDGE -- MEMORIALIZE, COMMUNICATE AND
05:41:39PM DISTRIBUTING.
05:41:39PM AND IT BECOMES A PUBLIC RECORD SUBJECT TO DISCLOSURE FOR
05:41:43PM WHATEVER PERIOD OF TIME IS REQUIRED.
05:41:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PUMP OF OUR INVESTIGATION.
05:41:51PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WILL STAY THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON TALKED
05:41:54PM ABOUT THIS AND REALLY HAVEN'T COME BACK TO COUNCIL.
05:41:56PM BUT PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST COME INTO THE CITY AMAZINGLY
05:42:03PM OFFERED.
05:42:03PM AND THE CITY CLERK HAS -- HAS RAMPED UP TO HAVE A WHOLE
05:42:07PM DEPARTMENT OF PEOPLE TO DO IT.
05:42:08PM THOSE REPORTS USED TO BE GENERATED, AND DISTRIBUTED TO CITY
05:42:15PM COUNCIL.
05:42:15PM WE WILL SEE WHAT THE PUBLIC IS ASKING FOR.
05:42:17PM THAT WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM AND NEW PROCESS TO CITY COUNCIL
05:42:24PM MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO VIEW THIS.
05:42:26PM AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING -- FORGIVE ME, I HAVE NOT COME BACK
05:42:30PM TO LOOK AT THIS WITH CARL BRODY WHERE THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT
05:42:33PM AND MAKE TRANSPARENT WHETHER TO HAVE ACCOUNTS FOR YOU TO BE
05:42:37PM ABLE TO LOOK IT UP ONLINE OR REPORTS GENERATED.
05:42:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I BELIEVE WE HAVE THIS CONVERSATION CAN
05:42:42PM STAFF AND ANDREA WAS HERE.
05:42:44PM AND SHE HAD ASKED BASICALLY FOR TIME BECAUSE SELF IN BEEN
05:42:49PM HIRING AND HAD A LOSS OF STAFF.
05:42:50PM THANK YOU FOR REMINDING US BECAUSE I THINK THAT SHOULD COME
05:42:54PM BACK.
05:42:54PM BY THE WAY IF YOU ARE LISTENING, WE ARE PROBABLY READY TO
05:42:58PM HAVE THOSE MONTHLY REPORTS AGAIN.
05:43:00PM I WOULD ENCOURAGE COUNCILMAN CARLSON TO PUT IT IN THE FORM
05:43:03PM OF A MOTION AND VOTE ON IT.
05:43:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HE DID.
05:43:05PM A MOTION AND A SECOND.
05:43:06PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
05:43:08PM ANY OPPOSED?
05:43:12PM >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU.
05:43:12PM MY SECOND THING WAS, I MADE -- I MADE A MOTION -- I THINK I
05:43:17PM MADE A MOTION -- SORRY, I HAVE JET-LAG.
05:43:19PM THAT WAS YESTERDAY -- IT WAS YESTERDAY.
05:43:27PM I MADE A MOTION TO HAVE THESE LISTS OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS
05:43:31PM COME BACK TO US, BECAUSE THEY USED TO GIVE THEM TO US AND
05:43:34PM THEY STOPPED.
05:43:35PM AND ANYWAY.
05:43:42PM WE VOTED TO HAVE THEM GIVE IT TO THEM AND THEY HAVEN'T YET.
05:43:45PM AND I HAVE BEEN PULLING PUBLIC RECORDS ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN
05:43:48PM GETTING THOSE REPORTS.
05:43:49PM THE LATEST ONE I GOT WAS JANUARY THROUGH JUNE.

05:43:56PM >>BILL CARLSON: I SENT IT TO MARTY LAST NIGHT.
05:43:58PM IN THE FORM OF A EXCEL SPREADSHEET.
05:44:01PM MARTY CAN FORWARD IT TO YOU BECAUSE IT IS A PUBLIC RECORD.
05:44:04PM I AM NOT SHARING IT.
05:44:06PM BUT THAT EXISTS.
05:44:07PM NOTHING THAT ANYBODY HAS TO HIDE IN THERE, BUT WHAT THE
05:44:10PM PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST.
05:44:12PM THE MOTION WE MADE THAT THEY SHOULD PROVIDE IT US TO ONCE A
05:44:16PM MONTH.
05:44:16PM IT IS INFORMATIVE TO LOOK AT WHAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING ABOUT.
05:44:20PM I AM NOT MAKING A MOTION ON THAT BECAUSE WE ALREADY MADE A
05:44:24PM MOTION, BUT IF YOU LIKE TO SEE THE LIST OF THE SIX MONTHS OF
05:44:28PM THE YEAR, FIRST MONTHS, MARTY HAS IT.
